Crowd larger than last year for Breakfast with Santa By Tom Munds

tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com Jules Johnson said Santa told her she was on his good list. “Santa was nice,” the 5-year-old Johnson said after her Santa visit. “It was exciting and fun to get to tell him what I wanted him to bring me.” Kelly Johnson, Jules’ grandmother, said the event was great for her

and her granddaughter. “Seeing her and her cousin visiting Santa made my day,” Kelly said. “It helped me remember why we celebrate this season of the year.” Her friend Julia Surratt agreed. “Seeing the all the kids visiting with Santa reminded me what the holiday is all about, it is about and for kids,” she said. The two girls were among almost 450 children who came to the Malley Senior Recreation Center Dec. 13 for the annual Breakfast with Santa event. Santa continues on Page 23

Parents pick out gifts for holidays Journey Church sets up special shopping day at Bishop By Tom Munds

tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com The opportunity to select gifts for her children at the Journey Church-sponsored Bishop Christmas Store was the best Christmas present Nicole Smith could receive. “I am a single mom raising two boys,” the Englewood resident said after completing shopping for her boys. “Our dog got sick so the boys decided we should spend the money to get the dog well instead of buying presents. They will be so surprised when these gifts show up under our tree.” This is the fourth year members of the Journey Church have set up and staffed the Bishop Christmas Store, providing the opportunity for selected parents of Bishop Elementary School students in Englewood to choose gifts for their Gifts continues on Page 23

Undocumented woman unbowed, unbroken When she was 11 and caring for four younger brothers and sisters in a rural Mexican town, Rocío Méndez looked into her heart for strength. When she was 15, hiding in a dumpster from immigration officers in Arizona after walking four days through desert and mountains, she looked into her heart for courage. Last week, when she completed the last exam needed for her college degree, Rocío, now 22, again looked into her heart. This time, she found happiness. “Education has always been my heart,” she said. “Education has always been my motivation. It has been my life.” The passion to learn has been the fire that propelled her through unimaginable adversity — drug-war violence, family tragedy, poverty and hunger — and that lifted her when hope threatened to slip from her grasp. “Her story is nothing less than a miracle,” her high school teacher Lisa Wille-Racine said. “She was relentless. … She is relentless. She didn’t ever lose sight of her dream.” But the dream isn’t finished: It won’t be until she can live and work here legally.

Hope amid tumult

That goal could become reality under a provision in President Obama’s proposed executive order, which includes revisions to the 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. DACA, as it is known, excluded Rocío because she arrived here in 2008, one year too late. The Nov. 20 proposal, however, expands the cutoff to 2010 and gives those children a three-year reprieve from deportation and the opportunity to apply for the needed permit to work. Republicans have threatened to block the president’s immigration action when Congress reconvenes in January. But amid the political tumult, Rocío — who has lobbied with fellow students for the stillunpassed DREAM Act in Washington, D.C. — and Wille-Racine stay optimistic. Regardless of how one feels about Obama, Wille-Racine said, “at least he sees the richness and the powerfulness and the extraordinariness of kids who don’t call their country home any more. These are

THE PRESIDENT’S ACTION On Nov. 20, President Obama announced an executive immigration order to create a program that would allow 4 million to 5 million immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally to apply to work legally — as long as they have no criminal record, have lived in the U.S. for at least five years and have children. They could also qualify to become eligible for Medicare and Social Security.

kids with no country who see the only way to rise above poverty is through education.” Petite with black hair just beyond her shoulders and a wide but rare smile, Rocío is one of 1.4 million undocumented students in the U.S. brought here by parents who entered illegally. Many, as in Rocío’s case, were searching for a better life. Each year, according to studies, about 65,000 undocumented students graduate from American high schools. But, impeded by financial hardship and lack of legal documentation, fewer than 10,000 enroll in college. When Rocío graduated — with honors — from a Castle Rock high school in 2010, Colorado did not offer in-state tuition to undocumented students. So, with WilleRacine’s help, she enrolled in New Mexico Highlands University in Las Vegas, N.M., where she met criteria for in-state tuition offered also to students in her situation. Today, 18 states allow in-state tuition rates for undocumented students. Fourteen do so through legislation. The first were California and Texas in 2001; New Mexico did so in 2005; Colorado joined the group in 2013. Rocío, who has always wanted to be a teacher, remembers sitting in the office at Highlands’ School of Education: “The adviser … told me you can get an education, you can study to be a teacher. At the end, you’re not going to be eligible to teach because you have no legal status.” The words shattered Rocío. She turned to Wille-Racine, tears in her eyes. “There is nothing for me here,” she said. Wille-Racine reassured her there would be something. “Politics are changing quickly,” she said. “In four years, we can decide if it was worth it or not.”

The executive action also revises the 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals by allowing children brought here illegally before 2010 to stay — previously, the year was 2007. It also removes the 30-year-old upper age limit and extends the two-year relief from deportation to three years. Under DACA, anyone with deferred action can apply for a work permit. To qualify, children must: • Have come to the U.S. before their 16th birthday • Have continuously lived in the U.S. since Jan. 1, 2010 • Be in school, have graduated from high school, obtained a GED, or have been honorably discharged from the armed forces • Have not been convicted of a felony or serious misdemeanors The DREAM Act, which Congress still has not passed, is bipartisan legislation that would permit certain immigrant students who have grown up in the U.S. to apply for temporary legal status, and eventually permanent legal status, and become eligible for U.S. citizenship if they attend college or serve in the military. It would apply to most students who came here at age 15 or younger, have lived here continuously at least five years before the bill’s enactment and have no criminal record.

Accident changed all

To fully understand the price of that leap of faith, you have to go back to the beginning of Rocío’s story. The family lived in a town of fewer than 500 people about two hours southeast of Mexico City. Her father, who finished two years of elementary school, grew flowers to sell in the city. Her mother, who completed sixth grade, cared for the children. Tragedy struck when Rocío’s 18-monthold sister was critically injured in a car accident. To provide the best medical care, her father borrowed money and sold everything he could, including the land on which he grew his flowers, to send her to a private hospital. Her sister eventually recovered, but her father could no longer earn enough to support the family. “You have to have money to pay — if you don’t, that person is going to die,” Rocío said. After two months “we didn’t have any money. In Mexico, we couldn’t survive anymore.” Her parents crossed the border in 2001 and ended up in Castle Rock, where he

worked construction and landscaping and she cleaned hotels and businesses. The children stayed behind with grandparents, but Rocío — beginning at age 11 — essentially became the mom. She bought groceries, cooked, got them ready for school, talked to teachers about their progress. Most importantly, she said, she kept them safe, including from drug dealers who wanted payments for security. All the while, she excelled in her studies, winning top prizes in her classes. “I was so anxious to learn, to know stuff,” she said. “I was happy because going to school was going to make a difference.” But when it came time for high school, the family didn’t have the money to pay for the better private education in Mexico. And the culture discouraged girls from continuing school. That included her family. A teacher recommended Rocío study in the United States. It’s better over there, he said. “Since that day,” she said, “I want to go Healey continues on Page 9

VA catches heat for hospital dispute Congressional delegation blasts agency’s actions By Vic Vela vvela @coloradocommunitymedia.com Colorado’s congressional delegation last week blasted the Department of Veterans Affairs for its handling of a construction contract dispute that has further delayed the building of a new VA hospital and has left hundreds of workers in limbo. A fast-moving news cycle began on Dec. 10, when a federal civilian board of appeals ruled that the VA was in breach of contract with the group it hired to build a state-ofthe-art veterans hospital in Aurora. The contract dispute was over money. The contractor, Kiewit-Turner, claimed

it could not finish work on the project at the price tag that the VA had originally set, which was $582.8 million. Kiewit-Turner said it would take about $1 billion to finish the work. The Civilian Court of Contract Appeals ruled in favor of Kiewit-Turner, which resulted in the contractor abruptly stopping work at the site, located at Interstate 225 and Colfax Avenue. About 1,400 construction workers were employed at the site. “Where we are right now is really unfortunate,” Republican Congressman Mike Coffman told Colorado Community Media. Coffman’s 6th Congressional District includes Aurora. “Workers lost their jobs right before the holidays and it’s unfortunate for taxpayers who foot the bill and the veterans who earned health-care benefits that this hospital is needed to deliver.”

The day after the appeals board ruling was handed down, Coffman and every other member of Colorado’s congressional delegation attached their signatures to a letter to VA officials and higher-ups at Kiewit-Turner, urging the two to come together to find a solution. “We are deeply concerned about this situation and urge VA and KT to immediately negotiate a path forward for this project,” the letter reads. In the letter, the elected officials urged, “in the strongest terms possible,” for the negotiations to result in a modified contract that will allow construction to continue for 60 days while a long-term contract is worked out. Any long-term contract will be handled by the Army Corps of Engineers, rather than the VA. That’s because on Dec. 11, the VA agreed to hand over construction over-

sight on the Aurora project to the Corps. The next day, Coffman announced that he will introduce legislation to strip away the VA’s authority to manage all future construction projects. Coffman cited a Government Accountability Office report that shows VA projects in four cities, including Aurora, to be hundreds of millions of dollars over budget and almost three years behind schedule. “Really, this is a pattern of total mismanagement by the VA in major construction projects,” Coffman said. Democratic Congressman Ed Perlmutter said in an emailed statement that the VA wanted a $1 billion medical center, but “the project was never redesigned to fit” the near-$600 million contract budget. “There has been a serious dispute between the VA and the prime contractor for too long,” Perlmutter said.

Suspect’s pretrial hearing continued Judge raised bond because of alleged alcohol consumption By Tom Munds

tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com Austin Michael Cale, who faces charges in the Aug. 22 fatal vehicle accident in Englewood, had his $50,000 bond revoked, bond reset at $500,000 and had his preliminary hearing continued to Feb. 18. Police think Cale was under the influence of alcohol or drugs Aug. 22 when he was driving the truck that hit a sedan and pushed it into a third vehicle in the 5300 block of South Broadway. The 87-year-old driver of the sedan was declared dead at the scene. Two passengers in the sedan, a 60-year-old woman and a 24-year-old man were taken to Swedish Medical Center for

treatment. The driver of the third vehicle was uninjured. The 26-year-old Highlands Ranch resident appeared in 18th Judicial District Court Dec. 11 for his preliminary hearing before Magistrate Frank Moschetti on a variety of charges, including vehicular homicide DUI, a class 3 felony. The suspect posted $50,000 bond Oct. 3. He Cale had to remain alcohol-free as a one condition of his bond, so he was required to wear an alcohol consumption monitor. The monitor is a bracelet-type device that analyzes perspiration to measure blood alcohol content every 30 minutes. During the Dec. 11 court session, the magistrate was advised of the Pre-Trial Services motion to revoke Cale’s bond

because his alcohol-monitoring unit recorded two positive readings for alcohol consumption. The magistrate revoked the existing bond and reset bond at $500,000. Cale was taken into custody and is being held in the Arapahoe County Detention Facility. A hearing on the bond revocation is scheduled at 1:15 p.m. Jan. 7 in Div. 302 before Moschetti.

Records show he is facing charges, including vehicular homicide-DUI, a class 3 felony; vehicular homicide-reckless driving, a class 4 felony; two charges of vehicular assault-dui, class four felonies; two charges of vehicular assault-reckless driving, class 5 felonies; driving under the influence, a misdemeanor; and reckless driving, a class two misdemeanor traffic offense.

It’s time for a holiday from the holidays Where did Christmas go? And when? I wonder if home-shopping channels had anything to do with it. They start advertising Christmas merchandise in September. And I begin to see Santa snowboarding on a Norelco in November. Christmas used to be a day, and then it was a few days. It was a few days of shopping and anticipation, and now it’s a season. I am not here to humbug it: I just want to know when it all changed. And it has all changed, at least for me. If you are half my age, Christmases that start in September are all you know. Christmas has become a monster, really. It bares its red and green teeth on the day after Thanksgiving, the most heinous day of the year. Some families make Black Friday an annual event. Line up in the night, and scramble into stores when they open. I would lose my mind. I am uncomfortable around people to begin with, and being around a lot of them with that intent would be unbearable. And it all starts to go back the day after Christmas. I don’t understand. But I don’t understand a lot of things. Why anyone would watch reruns of “Murphy Brown,” unless they lost a bet. I have a friend who couldn’t be happier that Christmas music is played in November, and I am sure that I offend him when I say that it is criminal. Every year he reads “A Christmas Carol.”

That’s good. Dickens was brilliant. I sent my friend a copy of the book, printed in the 19th century. That seems like a wonderful tradition. I think we all know the story, but we forget the wording, which is clever and descriptive and unlike any other wording in literature. (By the way, “What the dickens?” and similar phrases, do not refer to Charles Dickens. Answer below.) My parents kept all of our Christmas decorations in a great big box. The box went with us from Michigan to Pennsylvania, California, Ohio, Tennessee and back to Michigan. Every year we got it out. The colorful cardboard boxes that the tree lights were in preserved the unmistakable smell of accumulated years. Eventually, in my 50s, I petitioned to avoid Christmas travel, and it was approved. Flying back and forth that week was never fun. I sometimes wound up spending the night in airports or in airport hotels. In 1955 all I had to do was walk down-

stairs. We were living near Uniontown, Pa. My father was selling Buicks. There was a Christmas parade. The four of us were in a Buick convertible. Santa was in the back seat. He was. He waved to the crowd, which wasn’t very crowded, and threw candy canes at people. He didn’t have much of an arm. When we reached the end, and it was time to go home, Santa asked my father for a ride. I leaned forward to hear the address, thinking that it might be Canada at the very least and that we were in for a long night. Santa lived a few blocks from us. There was nothing special about his house. I didn’t see a single elf or a single reindeer. I began to have doubts. Now I have doubts about other things. We are smothered with covenants out here — that generally, now, go unchecked — but there are no aesthetic covenants when it comes to exterior Christmas decor. I guess that’s OK. I look at it this way: The kids in those houses don’t know aesthetics from tinsel yet, but they know colorful lights, and maybe they know great expectations. “Dickens” is a euphemism for the devil. I drink eggnog. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@comcast. net.

Set alarm, and set out on right path The early bird catches the worm … and some pretty incredible sunrises here in Colorado too, wouldn’t you agree? I mean is it just me or have the sunrises been even more spectacular lately? Many years ago I was listening to one of my motivational programs by Zig Ziglar. And during one of the segments Zig talked about the discipline of waking up early as a key element of success. As a matter of fact, I recently read an article on the topic of success that underscored that very concept. The consistent behavior amongst some of the world’s most successful people is to wake up early. And it’s not just about waking up early, it’s really about what we do with that extra time that we give ourselves. As I remembered Zig’s program and as I associated his message with some of the ideas shared in the above mentioned article, here are some of the ways that successful people use their special early morning time: • Reading (mind) — committing dedi-

cated time to reading something that will expand our knowledge base. It could be the Bible, a devotional book, an industry magazine, a business book, biography, or even the newspaper. Staying current on local issues, national news, and global information helps keep us well-informed and in a better position to engage in meaningful conversations with others. Zig Ziglar used to start each day reading the Bible and the newspaper and would say, “This way I know what both sides are up to.” • Physical ﬁtness (body) — too often we

have the best of intentions to include some form of exercise into each day only to run out of minutes and hours or have other priorities trump our desire to work out. And as our busy-ness escalates, the excuse to dismiss or blow off or physical ﬁtness becomes easier and easier. Now, many people are extremely disciplined and get their workout in at a regularly schedule time later in the day, and for those committed individuals they can use the extra morning time for reading or meditation and prayer time. • Meditation or prayer time (spirit) — spending a portion of the early morning reflecting on our families, our work, and other important relationships, or just sitting in silence, quieting our minds and allowing our emotions and energy to come together in a moment of meditation or prayer. Waking early with the intent of spending some peaceful time within our favorite spot in our home or with Mother Nature also helps Norton continues on Page 9

to school. I want to go to school. I want to go to school … I didn’t know I was going to walk. I didn’t know it was so dangerous. I just knew I wanted to go to school.” Rocío’s parents had returned to Mexico in 2004 when her grandmother died. A year later, her dad went back to Castle Rock. And in February 2008, her mother decided to rejoin him and bring Rocío and her then-five younger siblings. They tried to get student visas to emigrate legally, Rocío said, but didn’t have enough money. So, with a guide and Rocío’s uncle, they crossed the border on foot. Rocío and the adults carried the heaviest of six bags, which held tuna, bread, beans and gallons of water — enough, they thought, for four days. They walked mostly at night and slept under bushes during daylight. They crossed deserts, mountains, highways and ranches. They skirted an airport. They ran out of water on the second day. By the third day, the two men gave up their food portions so the children could eat. On the fourth day, as the group walked along train tracks near a factory in Arizona, a man saw them and began talking on his phone. “Ya nos echaron la migra — they’ve called immigration,” her uncle yelled. “Scatter and run!” Her uncle covered Rocío’s mother, two sisters and a brother with sand in a nearby dry creek bed. Another brother climbed up a tree. Rocío jumped into a dumpster filled with trash. She heard dogs barking and police talking. She stayed there for hours, until her uncle came for her. “It was something I hope I never have to live again,” she said. That evening, they reached a hotel in a town called Guadalupe, south of Phoenix where her father — who in 2010 received a work permit — picked them up. He took them to Walmart to buy food and clothes. “Oh, my God,” Rocío said, as she wandered through the store. “This is amazing.”

I can tell you firsthand that the benefits of waking early far outweigh the perceived need to sleep in for a couple of extra hours. The feeling of readiness and accomplishment feeds the positivity engine and our productivity and effectiveness in everything increases.

County appointments

March as a sophomore — 14 credits transferred from her high school in Mexico. “The first day I was so scared, I didn’t talk to anyone,” she said. “The only thing I knew how to say was `Hi.’ I was happy to be able to continue my education. I was eating lunch and I told myself, `You have to work hard — this isn’t going to be easy.’” It wasn’t. Many days, the frustration of being unable to communicate in English, the struggle academically, the isolation socially, left her in tears. That’s how Wille-Racine met her, crying, huddled in a corner behind a teacher’s desk. “I saw those little eyes looking at me and I said, `Well, hello,’” Wille-Racine said. “That moment changed the rest of my life.” That moment threw Wille-Racine, a Spanish and English as a Second Language teacher and mother of 15-year-old twins, into an unfamiliar world she would come to know intimately — the limbo and uncharted territory of undocumented students. And Rocío’s determination to succeed in school, despite the unceasing obstacles, moved her deeply. “She was fierce,” Wille-Racine said. “So I decided to be fierce right along her side.” When it came time for college, the teacher and the student figured it out as they went: whom to call, where to go, what to do. On her end, Rocío scrambled to find ways to pay for the education she so desperately wanted. She worked two jobs during summers, including cleaning hotels. She borrowed money from friends, which she later repaid. She won a $6,000 scholarship. She cleaned and cooked in return for room and food. At times, she gave up food money for tuition money. Teachers and friends of Wille-Racine also helped by contributing money, clothes, transportation and, sometimes, simply a helping hand. Whenever an obstacle appeared, WilleRacine would take a deep breath and wait until, she said, God would work some magic. “I always felt responsible to make something happen,” Wille-Racine said. “She was just looking to me for all the answers, and half the time I didn’t have them.” Said Rocío: “Lisa, she always, always

had hope.”

settle in and enjoy the mind, body, spirit, “YOU” time that is long overdue. How about you, have you been up early enough to watch in amazement as the sun in the east kisses our snow-capped mountain peaks in the west? Do you set aside “YOU” time and have you tried giving yourself that time before anyone else wakes up in your home? I would love to hear all about your routine at gotonorton@gmail. com, and when we start enjoying the benefits of being an early riser, not only will we catch the worm, but it really will be a better than good week.

Blossoming in college

College changed everything for Rocío. In high school, she’d often felt alone, invisible. At Highlands, she realized there were many people like her — undocumented, fighting to attend college, working two or three jobs just to be able to go to school. “I found a family,” she said. That newfound community helped her gain confidence, to believe she could make a difference and give back to a society that had given her so much. She joined student organizations that worked with immigration issues at local, state and national levels. They trained administrators about immigration laws, provided legal help to students applying for deferred status, protested and lobbied for change, traveled to conferences to educate themselves about undocumented issues in other states. In November 2013, Rocío traveled to Washington, D.C., with a student organization to lobby for immigration reform. The group staged a mock Thanksgiving dinner in the early morning hours in front of House Speaker John Boehner’s house to show how the holiday would be sad for children separated from families because of deportation. Then students headed to the Capitol to talk to senators and protest for immigration change. “I’ve become an activist,” Rocío said. “I’ve become a fighter for my undocumented community. I’ve become a person unafraid …” The opportunities that college has provided her, Rocío said, solidified her willingness to step into the open despite possible legal consequences. “I’m still insecure in this country,” she said. “They can deport me any time. But we have to make a difference. If we are afraid, nothing is going to happen and we

will be the same — invisible people living here. If we the students don’t make the change, nobody is going to make it for us.” She is proud of what she’s accomplished, particularly that she’s set a path for others to follow. Two brothers, also undocumented, are also at Highlands. “I don’t know how to describe how I feel,” Rocío said. “I just feel special, lucky to go to college, to be the first person in my family to finish high school, to finish college. It makes me feel I should work even more.” Last spring, her sister Miriam, who graduates from high school in May, wrote this for her high school publication: “My sister, Rocío, is my hero, because when my parents had to come to the United States to work to be able to … buy what we needed, she was 15 years old. She took care of me, my sister and two brothers, and she had to go to school, too … When we moved here … a lot of people would tell her she wouldn’t go further in school because she didn’t understand English. But … she never gives up. Now, she is almost done with college.” On Dec. 12, Rocío received her degree in Spanish with a minor in Native AmericanHispano studies. She would like to pursue a master’s in education in curriculum and instruction. She would like to teach. But she can’t — she doesn’t have a Social Security number or a work permit. So she waits. And hopes. And continues to look into her heart for the truth she has carried with her always: “Education is the only key to success.” Ann Macari Healey’s column about people, places and issues of everyday life appears every other week.

A clean energy future to build on. A strong energy grid to depend on. Xcel Energy believes our customers deserve both.

Making ugly meaningful Hideous holiday sweaters bring folks together, merchant says By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Hold on to your crocheted stocking hat with your knitted mittens — ugly Christmas sweater season has arrived. “It’s about laughter, happiness,” said Elizabeth Blume, owner of the Clothing-XChange consignment store in the Oakbrook Shopping Center. “It’s really about feeling part of something.” Blume realized last year that the ugly sweater craze was really catching on. “It’s just become a phenomenon,” she said. Dec. 12 is now “National Ugly Christmas Sweater Day,” when everyone is supposed to don the most catastrophic cardigan they can find and go on about their business as though everything was normal. “Wear it to school, to work, to a funeral, to your sister’s wedding,” reads the website at www.nationaluglychristmassweaterday. org. “Got an important interview on Friday? Oops, tough luck. Worried the judge will increase your sentence if you show up to court in an ugly Christmas sweater? Sorry bud, no exceptions.” Then, on Dec. 20, the Ugly Sweater Run 5K will commence from Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, a benefit for Save the Children’s “Make the World Better with a Sweater” campaign. “If you want to wear spandex under your sweater and race fast, that’s cool, but you’re missing the point,” according to the event’s website. “This is a fun run to burn some calories before slamming some hot chocolate

Elizabeth Blume is jumping on the ugly Christmas sweater craze in a big way. Photo by Jennifer Smith and Sam Adams.” For Blume, hopping on the ugly sweater bandwagon was a no-brainer. Back in the ‘80s, she studied fashion in Paris, got a master’s degree in international business and marketing and ended up in Hong Kong designing sweaters for The Limited. A husband and two kids later, she settled in Castle Rock and fed her passion for the garment industry by working at the Cotton Kloset consignment store in Parker. Blume calls the owner of that store, Sandy Yates, her inspiration for opening Clothing-XChange in 2010.

Now, she hopes to pass that same inspiration onto her own employees. “I’m so blessed to be able to employ people,” she said. “I want to be a mentor. I want to emulate Tim Gunn (of Project Runway fame), where he mentors people into their next thing.” Her thing this holiday season is scrounging up the worst, mostly vintage, sweaters she can find and making them even more delightfully tacky. She can add blinking lights, ornaments, garland, tinsel — any and all the accoutrements of Christmas. “We try to find things you can’t really

find anywhere else to make them unique,” she said. Fortunately, she hasn’t faced the horror of discovering any sweaters she designed in the “ugly sweater” pile. “But there have been some that have come pretty close,” she laughs. For her, the sweaters are just one more way to bring tradition and togetherness to families and friends throughout the season. “They’re unifying, equalizing. They put everyone on a level playing field,” she said. “I love Christmas, and the reason for the season. I just love God.”

Show is presented Saturday, Dec. 27, and Sunday, Dec. 28.

Squeaky Bean makes list

USA Today, which has been giving Denver some taste tests recently, has included The Squeaky Bean at 1500 Wynkoop on the newspaper’s selection of “10 best chef’s counters to watch your meal being made.” The story suggests that some restaurants give you a show with the meal by sitting diners ringside to watch culinary magic. About The Squeaky Bean, USA Today said, “Diners at the eight-seat kitchen counter get a personal experience with talkative chefs, who are glad to answer questions about the food they’re preparing. ‘You get to see a lot of dishes come out of the kitchen. It’s almost like a visual menu,’ (Chicagobased food and travel writer Amber) Gibson says. Guests can order a set tasting or off the menu, which features a range of meats, seafood and salads.”

We were scheduled to close this past Saturday but our loyal fan base would not have it. I have reduced our hours in Cherry Creek to Tuesday-Saturday 9-5 and Denver Place Tuesday through Friday 10-4.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Right now you are especially vulnerable to holiday scams that seek to take advantage of your generosity. Best advice: Check them out before you send out your checks. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) The upcoming holiday season gives the Big Cat much to purr about. Relationships grow stronger, and new opportunities loom on the horizon, just waiting to be pounced on. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) A changing situation brings conflicting advice about how to go forward with your holiday plans. Your best bet: Make the decision you feel most comfortable with. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Holiday plans get back on track after some confusion about the direction you expected to take. A potentially troublesome money matter needs your immediate attention. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Your holiday preparations are on track. But you need to confront a personal situation while you can still keep it from overwhelming everything else. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Tight financial matters ease a bit during this holiday season. But the sagacious Sagittarian is well-advised to keep a tight hold on the reins while shopping for gifts. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Don’t put off making decisions about this year’s holiday celebrations, despite the negative comments you’ve been getting from several quarters. Do it NOW! AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) The holidays will bring new friends and new opportunities. Meanwhile, be careful to use your energy wisely as you go about making holiday preparations.

Englewood boys not able to overcome Commander’s 20-point, first-quarter lead By Tom Munds

tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com The large home crowd had little to cheer about Dec. 9 as Kennedy rolled to a 62-33 victory over Englewood in nonleague boys basketball action. “We didn’t play well early,” Pirates Coach Dave Tucker said after the game. “For example, we gave up five quick turnovers early in the first quarter while Kennedy hit just about every shot they put up to build a big early lead. We played them pretty even in the second half, but that big lead they built up in the first half was too much to overcome.” Englewood won the tipoff, but just about everything went Kennedy’s way the remainder of the first half. The Commanders’ offense was in high gear as they opened up lanes to the basket with accurate outside shooting that included four baskets from 3-point range. Kennedy also was stingy on defense as the aggressive man-to-mad style forced a number of Pirate turnovers the Commanders turned into points. The Commanders scored the first seven points of the game and built a 22-2 firstquarter lead, maintaining the advantage through the first half with a 30-11 lead. The Pirates played better basketball in the second half. They took better care of the basketball and began hitting their shots. But, while the Pirates did play a competitive style through the final two quarters, they were unable to challenge the Commanders for the lead. The score was 47-22 at the end of the third period, and Kennedy won the game, 62-33. “I am proud of our guys because they never quit playing hard even though Kennedy had a big lead,” the Pirate coach said. “Overall, we didn’t have a good game, but we did see some good things as we had a couple of our young guys step up and play well for us.” Varsity competition is new for many of the players on the roster. “Most of our players have little or no varsity experience so they are learning under fire,” Chapman said. “Our goal is to have our young guys get as much experience as possible so they can help up get better as a team.” Gavin Phillips was Englewood’s leading scorer with 12 points. Teammate Sean Bowering had nine points and Cecil Ondack had seven. Phillips played an outstanding game for the Pirates, Tucker said. Phillips did pretty well against Kenne-

Last year, I went into the game off the bench, and now I am a varsity starter,” Phillips said. “I feel my 3-point shooting has improved a lot, and I am working on improving my ball handling, particularly with my left hand.” Kennedy was a good team and were a really good outside shooting team, he said. “We need to put this game behind us and get ready for the next game,” he said. “I don’t have any personal goals like scoring a lot of points. I guess my only goal is helping our team win more games than we did last season.” Notes: Englewood now stands at 2-4. After the loss to Kennedy, the Pirates split their next two games, with a 71-64 loss at Denver North on Dec. 15, and a home win, 51-38, over Centaurus Dec. 16. They play a last game before the break against Jefferson on Dec. 18. The court goes dark following on Dec. 19 as the school closed for the holiday break.

SMITH, LLC, 2919 Valmont Road, Suite 205, Boulder, Colorado 80301 Telephone: 303-4444203, Attorney for United) (collectively “Applicants”). AMENDED APPLICATION FOR CHANGE OF WATER RIGHTS AND A PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION, IN ADAMS, ARAPAHOE, DENVER, DOUGLAS, ELBERT, LARIMER, MORGAN AND WELD COUNTIES. 2. Background and Relationship of the Applicants and Applicants’ Prior Decrees and Pending Cases. 2.1. Background. On December 15, 2009, ACWWA, United, and ECCV entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement (“IGA”) to provide for ACWWA’s participation with ECCV and United in an integrated system for the diversion, accretion, collection, storage, transmission, and treatment of their water rights. The integrated system, which is also referred to as the Water Supply Project or the Northern Project, is designed to provide ECCV and ACWWA with a long-term, sustainable municipal water supply for their respective service areas located in Arapahoe and Douglas Counties, Colorado. Maps of ACWWA’s and ECCV’s service areas are attached as Exhibit 1 and Exhibit 2, respectively. Pursuant to the IGA, United will provide ACWWA with 4,400 acre-feet of consumptive use water that will be delivered through ECCV’s water delivery facilities for use within ACWWA’s service area. 2.2. Decreed Components of the Water Supply Project. The Water Court has previously decreed various components of the Water Supply Project for ECCV and United’s use: 2.2.1. In Case No. 02CW403, the Water Court approved a plan for augmentation (“ECCV Augmentation Plan”) for ECCV’s Upper Beebe Draw wellfield (“ECCV Well Field”), as described in paragraph 15.1 of that decree. The ECCV Augmentation Plan allowed for the addition of wells to the augmentation plan and for the use of additional sources of substitute supply to replace the out-ofpriority depletions resulting from pumping the ECCV Well Field. 2.2.2. In Case Nos. 02CW404 and 03CW442, the Water Court approved the addition of six (6) wells to the ECCV Well Field, additional sources of replacement water to the ECCV Augmentation Plan approved in Case No. 02CW403, and a recharge project in the Beebe Draw (the “Beebe Draw Recharge Project”). The Water Court also approved a plan for augmentation to replace the outof-priority depletions created by the pumping of wells located on 70 Ranch (“70 Ranch Augmentation Plan”) and a recharge project on 70 Ranch (“70 Ranch Recharge Project”). 2.2.3. In Case No. 10CW306, the Water Court approved the ACWWA Augmentation Plan, ACWWA Beebe Draw Recharge Project, ACWWA 70 Ranch Augmentation Plan, and ACWWA 70 Ranch Recharge Project; and amended the ECCV Augmentation Plans decreed in 02CW403 and 02CW404/03CW442, and the Beebe Draw Recharge Project. 2.2.4. In Case Nos. 11CW285 and 09CW283 the Water Court approved the applications of ACWWA (09CW283) and ECCV (11CW285) for the appropriative rights of exchange to assure delivery of water available to ACWWA and ECCV’s for delivery to their service areas. 2.2.5. In Case Nos. 10CW312 and 11CW280, the Water Court approved the applications for a conditional water storage right in United Reservoir No. 3 (ACWWA) and conditional water storage rights in United Reservoir No. 3, Barr Lake, and Gilcrest Reservoir as well as an appropriative right of exchange (ECCV). 2.3. The purpose of this application is to change the use of the decreed water rights associated with shares in the Cache la Poudre Reservoir Company and the New Cache la Poudre Irrigating Company (collectively “Subject Water Rights”) that were acquired by Applicants for use as a source of substitute supply for the ECCV Augmentation Plan decreed in Case No. 02CW403, Beebe Draw Recharge Project, 70 Ranch Augmentation Plan, 70 Ranch Recharge Project, and the South Platte River Exchanges adjudicated in Case Nos. 02CW404 and 03CW442. In addition, the subject water rights will be used as a source of substitute supply for the exchanges decreed in Case Nos. 09CW283 and 11CW285, as a source of substitute supply for the plans for augmentation and recharge projects decreed in Case No. 10CW306, and for storage in United Reservoir No. 3, Gilcrest Reservoir, and Barr Lake. 3. Summary of the Subject Water Rights. Applicants seek a change of type and place of use for 112 total shares out of 2,500 outstanding shares of the New Cache la Poudre Irrigating Company and 36 total shares out of 3,000 outstanding shares of the Cache la Poudre Reservoir Company. 3.1.

Breakfast, which was the first order of business for most families, was served in the Malley ballroom. Holiday decorations were hung in the ballroom, and groups playing holiday music set the mood. Around the room, many children became excited when everyone in the family finished eating breakfast because they knew it was time to take a short walk down the hall to the gym to see Santa. Each family was given a number when they came into the gym where Santa was waiting to greet and talk to each child. Because there were a lot of children waiting to see St. Nick, activities were available to keep kids busy until it was their turn to get in the see-Santa line. Children could watch holiday videos or sit at the table and color

Sally Wilson kept an eye on her 3-yearold daughter who was busy coloring a Christmas tree. “My daughter is four and really excited about getting to see Santa this year,” the Littleton resident said. “I had thought about going to the mall, but that is so commercial and not very personal for the child. I was looking for a better experience for my daughter when a friend told me about today. She told me how the child got to spend time with Santa who was really listening. So here we are.” Down the hall on the family’s way out, Leah Peterson smiled as she talked about getting to see Santa. “Santa was very nice,” she said. “He was surprised when I told him I wanted new socks and a blanket for Christmas. He asked if I wanted a doll and I told him I have dolls so the good Christmas presents for me would be socks and a nice blanket for my bed.”

A parent can select two gifts for each child from a newborn to an 18-year-old.” Popular gifts this year include scooters, dolls from Disney’s “Frozen,” Broncos gear and Nerf guns. “We also provide child care so the parent can shop alone,” Cox said. “When all

their shopping is done, we provide time for the parents to relax as we wrap their gifts for them.” Pam Ancell was one of the volunteers wrapping gifts. “This is a great way to start Christmas, and it feels good to help people have a nice Christmas,” she said. “I like volunteering here, and I think the feeling I get helping these families is a lot more than what little energy I expend wrapping their gifts.” Rhonda Tanner was another parent shopping. “This is the fourth year the shop has helped me provide a nice Christmas for my children,” she said. “We do pretty well, but we knew there would be little or no money for nice gifts.

a Highlands Ranch resident. “All the lunches and dinners are my favorite part,” said Katia de Orbegoso, president of the Roxborough Business Association. “The unstructured environment was the perfect time to get to know each other, share ideas and comment on the different briefings.” And there was some time for fun, Wasden said. The group went bowling at the Harry S. Truman Bowling Alley, and they enjoyed an evening monument tour. Being able to tour the monuments in the evening, away from the rest of the tourists and people tending to business matters at the capital, provides a person with a different feel of their significances, Wasden said. “It becomes more reverent and reflective,” he said. “You can reflect in solitude on some of the great leaders.” One highlight of the trip was a meeting with U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet, said David Schlatter, corporate real estate adviser, of Centennial. Bennet is in favor of the Keystone XL

pipeline project — an $8 billion Canadato-Texas oil pipeline — and there were protesters demonstrating their disagreement. A Senate vote was occurring that day, and Schlatter said, “We were there at the moment of truth.” “It went from a five-minute meeting to a 40-minute intimate conversation with him,” Wasden said. “That really provided some of the wow-factor to the trip.” In addition to their time with Bennet, the group was able to meet with Congressmen Ken Buck of Colorado and Ted Yoho of Florida, and Ali Noorani, executive director of the National Immigration Forum. “We got to engage with people in D.C. and meet the people that make a difference,” said Englewood-based Steve Roper, president and CEO of Roper Insurance. “Get our voice heard on a national level.” Overall, the trip was “a great opportunity to learn first-hand about what’s going on in Washington,” said Natalie Harden, director of public policy and economic development for the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce. “And we were demonstrating that we care enough to be willing to physically meet with them,” she added. “They appreciate us making that effort.” It’s important for people to be engaged,

The people in Washington are also “normal people trying to do the best job they can,” and getting involved can make a difference, he added, because they
