Holiday tradition lights up City Hall By Ashley Reimers

t was a cold and festive evening Saturday night during the Holiday Lighting Ceremony at Westminster City Hall. With temperatures hovering around just 7 degrees, people braved the weather to see the building come to life, illuminated by thousands of lights. “I love seeing all of the lights. It really is sight to see,” said Westminster resident Kathy Andrews, who attended with her two small children. “Although it’s really cold tonight, we never miss this event.”
Outdoors activities included a fire pit, hay rides and the arrival of Santa by fire truck, but it was the indoor performances that stole the show. The Mesa Mustang Chorale, Crown Pointe Academy Choir, Betty Adams Elementary Choir and the city of Westminster Dance Company all performed in the council chambers, filling the building with holiday spirit. In the lower level of city hall, children took photos with Santa and the Colorado Chorale performed. Mayor Herb Atchison thanked residents for attending and mentioned the hard work of city employees in making the evening possible.
“This is the 26th year of this event; thank you to all of you who came out,” he said. “It was the hard work of our parks and recreation employees who got all of the lights ready for this event to happen. “ A couple performances were cancelled due to the cold temperatures, including a performance by the Standley Lake High School marching band, which normally leads the arrival of Santa in the fire truck; and music from carillonneur Robert Gift, who plays the bells in the city’s bell tower. The holiday lights will be on display in the evenings at city hall, 4800 West 92nd Ave., throughout December.
An Arvada City Councilwoman is on her way to the statehouse after winning a special vote to succeed a lawmaker who recently resigned in the face of a recall election. Rachel Zenzinger defeated former state Rep. Sara Gagliardi during a Senate District 19 Democratic vacancy committee gathering in Westminster on Dec. 10, by a 39-27 vote. Zenzinger will replace fellow Democrat Evie Hudak in the state Senate, just weeks after she stepped down from office, rather than face the possibility of losing a Democratic seat in the General Assembly’s upper chamber. “I thank the members of the vacancy committee for their investment in this difficult process to select a successor to Sen. Evie Hudak and I look forward to justifying their faith in me,” she said. Zenzinger, a program coordinator and instructor at Regis University, said she looks forward to getting to work on issues like job creation, education and health care when she enters the Senate next month. But she also said that will regret having to leave the Arvada City Council, a body that she has served on for the last five years. Gagliardi was unsuccessful in touting her experience as a former lawmaker to woo vacancy committee members to support her candidacy. She served in the state House of Representatives from 2006 until she lost a close race for a third term to current Rep. Libby Szabo, an Arvada Republican. Gagliardi told committee voters that she has the “experience, tenacity and grit to unite our district” and that she possesses the campaign prowess to hold on to the

Seitz appointed to Westminster city council By Ashley Reimers
areimers@ourcoloradonews.com After a unanimous vote Monday night, Anita Seitz was chosen by Westminster council as the newest member to represent the city for the next two years, filling the vacant seat created by Herb Atchison’s election to mayor. The vote was part of a City Charter apPOSTAL ADDRESS
pointment process requiring the council to fill the vacancy within 30 days by a majority vote of the remaining members of city council to avoid a special election. Seitz was up against 13 other people who applied for the seat, each person interviewed by city council a week before the official vote. During a Dec. 2 study session, council discussed the candidates and took an unofficial poll to gain a consensus on the top two candidates council was lean-
ing towards. Seitz and David Aragoni were unofficially polled as the top two candidates. Another poll was taken between Seitz and Aragoni and although Seitz name was not said, it was clear who the council chose as their top candidate in the unofficial vote. “I think she is a very promising young lady and I think she’ll be an asset and will work well with the group,” Atchison said during the study session. “And although I think we had 14 viable candidates, I think some were better than others and I think the best rose to the occasion.” During Monday night’s meeting, no disPrinted on recycled cussion was done before or after the offinewsprint.

After Seitz was sworn in by Westrecycle this copy. minster Municipal Judge John Stipech, she immediately took her seat, the meeting was adjourned and council reconvened as the Westminster Economic Development Authority. Seitz, who recently graduated with her
MBA from Regis University and serves on the Board of the Colorado Association of Healthcare Executives, moved to Colorado in 1987, growing up in the Boulder area. She moved to Westminster in May of 2011 and said she fell in love with the city. She said it was her love of the amenities and quality of life that inspired her to apply for city council. “I want to work with the city to promote everything it has to offer,” she said. “I’m excited to serve the city I love and I have every confidence I will be able to do that.” Seitz said due to her busy schedule this year finishing up her MBA, she chose not to run in the November election. Now that she’s graduated, the timing is right to serve on the council, she added. And although she has a short history in Westminster, Seitz believes that will be a benefit to council.

Plomer newest addition on school board Figueroa serving District 4 pending state decision By Ashley Reimers
areimers@ourcoloradonews.com Kathy Plomer was all smiles as she took her seat on the Adams 12 Five Star Schools school board last week as director for District 3. She was sworn in by District Judge Chris Melonakis Dec. 2 to start her fouryear term, replacing Fred Schaefer, whose term expired. Plomer defeated opponents David Elliott, Debbie Christensen and Joshua Bastian. She won 38 percent of the votes in Adams County and 42 percent in Broomfield County in the Nov. 5 election. She has three children in the district and was on the steering committee for the District School Improvement Team. “I’m very excited to be here and start this journey and make good things happen for the students in the district,” Plomer said. “It’s a long journey, but an interesting one. I want to hear from you and learn what you want to see happen in the district.” During the meeting, the board and Superintendent Chris Gdowski welcomed Plomer to her new position.
Chris Melonakis, district judge for the 17th Judicial District, left, swears in Kathy Plomer as the new director for District 3 during a special Adams 12 Five Star school board meeting on Dec. 2. Photo by Ashley Reimers “Welcome, and I hope you have fun because it’s a fun time,” said board president Mark Clark. As for the District 4 position, the out-
come is still unknown. During the Dec. 2 meeting, the board officially accepted the certified votes from Adams and Broomfield counties after Denver Chief District
Judge Robert Hyatt ordered the clerks of the counties to count the votes cast for Amy Speers in the District 4 race against Rico Figueroa. Speers was ineligible to run for District 4 because she resides outside its boundaries. After the votes were tallied, Speers ended up with the most votes. According to the district website, Hyatt’s order invalidates the emergency rule issued by the secretary of state on Nov. 5, stating, “If the designated election official determines, after ballots are printed, that an individual whose name appears on the ballot is not qualified for office, the votes cast for that individual are invalid and must not be counted.” After the election, a group of plaintiffs filed a suit against the secretary of state’s authority to administrate the emergency rule. The Colorado Supreme Court will now hear an appeal filed by the secretary of state. “This means the school district and the board are in a holding pattern until the Supreme Court decides the appeal,” said Joe Ferdani, Adams 12 communications director. “Rico Figueroa continues to serve as the director in District 4 until the district and board receive a ruling from the Supreme Court that helps determine what to do next.”
Academy teaches the ins, outs of police work By Ashley Reimers

SUPPORT
Police officers have a diverse job with many duties and responsibilities. The Westminster Police Department is offering the community a glimpse into their world in the next session of the Citizens Police Academy, coming up in January. The academy offers one-on-one contact with police officers and instructors during a 14-week program from Jan. 22 to April 23. Participants will learn the duties of a police officer through lectures and hands-on demonstrations. Topics to be covered include
the SWAT team, K-9 unit, criminal law, police pursuits, arrest control, investigation and patrol procedures. Westminster investigator Kate Kazell said the goal of the academy is to promote citizen involvement in the community and familiarize the public with police functions. “We have a wide variety of people who attend the academy,” she said. “Some just want to get involved in their community, and some want to eventually pursue a career in law enforcement and want to learn more about what officers do. We just want the community to have the opportunity to have a better understanding of police work.”
YOUR WHOLE
COMMUNITY
Kazell said the biggest benefit to the department and the officers is being able to educate the public, ending up with wellinformed residents who can share their knowledge with friends and family. She said all the lectures are taught by officers or officer instructors who encourage feedback and questions from the community. “I think people are inherently curious as far as police functions and what we do,” she said. “The academy is probably the best way to get some insight on how the department operates.” Although much of the academy is lectures, Kazell said people will also have the
opportunity to experience hands-on police duties, including mock traffic stops and how to use handcuffs during arrest control situations. Eligible students must be at least 21 years old or 16 with an attending adult. Space is limited to 25 students, and preference is given to Westminster residents, however anyone can apply. The class meets 6-10 p.m. Wednesdays, and the academy will end with a graduation ceremony.

Coins go a long way for one Adams 12 school By Ashley Reimers
areimers@ourcoloradonews.com To most people collecting 124 bags of coin is a major feat, but not for the students at Mountain View Elementary School in Broomfield. In less than a month students worked together collecting as many bags of coins as possible, valued at $50 apiece, earning roughly $6,200 to be donated to various nonprofit organizations at the end of the school year. This major effort is all part of the Penny Harvest, a program dedicated to teaching students the importance of philanthropy. Organized by Molly Gibney, digital literacy teacher and gifted and talented coordinator, the Penny Harvest challenged students at Mountain View to collect coins from Nov. 4-22. Gibney set a goal of just 20 bags, but after the coin started coming in, she quickly knew that goal would easily be surpassed. “The best part of this whole project is seeing the entire school and the community come together and believe in this program,” Gibney said. “Seeing this kind of participation shows how significant and positive this outreach is.” Now that the money has been collected and counted the real work begins. Gifted and talented students will work together to research nonprofits that focus on three causes chosen by the school: supporting animal shelters, homeless people and people impacted by the Colorado floods. After the nonprofits are chosen, the same students will interview people in the nonprofits before making their final decision on which organizations will receive a portion of the money raised during the Penny Harvest. “The students are really learning how to be philanthropists,” Gibney said. “They have to ask important questions and make decisions about where the money will go and how they will divide it up to make the biggest difference.” Principal Lynn Saltzgaver’s excitement
Third- and fourth-graders at Mountain View Elementary School show off bags of coins collected by students for the Penny Harvest, a program focused on teaching students the importance of philanthropy. The school raised more than $6,000 that will be donated to various nonprofit organizations at the end of the school year. Photo by Ashley Reimers is geared towards the service opportunities the students are experiencing through the Penny Harvest. She said sometimes adults forget how much children are capable of doing, but this program exemplifies how powerful her students can be and teaches them to have ownership in something that can make a big difference. “I am astounded by how generous the students and the community have been,” she said. “They are motivated and very enthusiastic about this and are also learning life skills.” For Alison Bliss, a third grade gifted and talented student, just being able to help someone means the most. She was amazed by how many of her fellow classmates brought in coins and said she’s excited that the students get to choose where the money will go. “I really liked overcoming the challenge to bring in more bags of coin,” Bliss said. “The homeless people and the animal shelters are important to help with the money.”

Although it’s called the Senior Solutions Emergency Food Bank, the Senior Hubsponsored service is no longer limited to emergency situations. Over the past few months, the need for food has increased to the point that Adams County senior citizens are using the food on a regular basis, stopping in once a month. Judy Gibson, Senior Solutions director, said a major reason for the need is a cut in government-funded food stamps. She said some seniors’ food stamps were eliminated entirely, leaving them in a tough position. “We went from serving 40 to 60 households to serving more than 85 households monthly,“ Gibson said. “For individuals, we are now serving 150 or more a month, and that number will continue to grow. People are now using the food bank on a regular basis, compared to just for emergencies.” Gibson receives food from the Food Bank of the Rockies and monetary assistance through government programs, but those donations aren’t enough. She said many times she’s not sure how much food or money she’ll receive each month, forcing a greater need for community dona-
tions. “Because we are a smaller food bank, we don’t receive as much food and funding as other larger food banks, but our need continues to grow,” she said. “Any donation is greatly appreciated, and the people who do drop off bags of food, they are like angels.” Gibson said she’ll take any food people are willing to donate, but a few items are needed more desperately than others, including peanut butter, soup, bread, tuna, dry beans and cereal. Personal hygiene items including toilet paper, soap, shampoo, toothpaste and tissue are also a big need for seniors. Items can be dropped off during business hours at the Senior Hub, 2360 W. 90th Ave. in Federal Heights. Seniors can use the food bank once a month. Gibson said a valid ID, proof of address and a vocal report of income are required at each visit. Food bank operating hours are 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays. “Seniors are now having to choose between paying their utility bill or food, or paying for their medicine and food,” Gibson said. “That’s what it’s become. If you have any of these items, please donate. It’s a godsend and in the end you are feeding a senior in your community.” For more information, visit www.seniorhub.org or call 303-426-4408.

Police give tips to keep safe this holiday Criminals target unattended vehicles By Tammy Kranz
tkranz@ourcoloradonews.com This time of year a lot of people shop more and may be feeling more charitable than usual, leaving them vulnerable to thieves and con artists. “The police department sees a slight upward trend of car breakins, theft — including shoplifting, charity scams and burglaries during the holidays,” Thornton police spokesman Matt Barnes said. Westminster police also see a slight increase in crime this time of year, but nothing significant, said spokeswoman Cheri Spottke. She said she believes the increase is not significant because the department is good at educating residents on how to protect themselves and their property. “We do step up extra patrol in malls and shopping complexes,” Spottke said. She advised shoppers to not leave their purchases in sight, but rather put bags in the trunks of their vehicles. People should also alert their neighbors if they are
leaving town so someone is keeping an an eye on their home. But one of the biggest prevention of crimes during the winter, Spottke said, is for people to not let their vehicles warm up while they are inside their homes. “Nobody wants to go outside when it’s negative 15 out, but don’t leave your car running unattended,” she said. Barnes provided a list of other safety tips for when people are driving, shopping or at home. While driving: keep all doors locked and windows closed while in or out of the vehicle; never park next to large vehicles or vehicles with heavily tinted windows; park in well-lighted areas; be aware of your surroundings; try to stay in a group when approaching your vehicle; and if security is available, ask for an escort if you are leaving at night and alone. While shopping: minimize shopping at night or alone; avoid carrying cash or too many credit cards; if you must use an ATM, use one on an inside of a wellpopulated building or a welllit area; protect your PIN from the view of other people; avoid overloading yourself with packages and carry your wallet in your front pants pocket. While at home: be aware that
Shoppers hustle to their cars and inside the Wal-Mart in Thornton to get out of the cold last week as the temperatures plunge. Police give tips on how shoppers can protect themselves from thieves. Photo by Tammy Kranz sometimes criminals pose as couriers delivering gifts; be aware of scams that criminals commit to take advantage of generos-
ity; lock your doors; if you are traveling, have a friend collect your mail and newspapers; place lights, radio and TVs on timers so
that the home appears to be occupied; and avoid large displays of gifts visible from windows and doors.
Thornton PD receives grant for equipment JAG funding allocated to Thornton, Sheriff ’s Office By Tammy Kranz tkranz@ourcommunitynews.com Thanks to a $69,998 grant, the Thornton Police Department will purchase new forensic video-analysis equipment and tactical helmets for patrol officers. The funding is part a Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Grant (JAG) in the amount of $113,734 for Adams County. The rest of the grant, $43,736, was allocated to the Adams County Sheriff’s Office. The JAG program provides the Thornton Police Department with critical
funding necessary to support a range of programs, including law enforcement, crime prevention and education, technology improvement and equipment needs, said Deputy Chief Tom Manka. The department will spend $33,098 of the grant on forensic video-analysis equipment, which will enable investigators to more efficiently identify evidence and criminals. “The new equipment far surpasses the traditional forensic video-analysis equipment and takes the processing of all forms of multimedia evidence including video, still images and audio to new levels of clarity, detail, and accessibility,” Manka said. “Regardless of where the images originate, be it proprietary CCTVDVR digital video, analog video, or images
that are scanned, now new evidence can be discovered and used to identify criminals.” The rest of the grant for Thornton, $36,900, will go toward purchasing tactical helmets to protect officers from head injuries. Right now, officers do not have protective headgear. “The tactical helmets are filling a need to improve police officer safety when dealing with critical incidents involving high risk encounters,” said Deputy Chief Ken Reather. The Sheriff’s Office will divide its $43,736 funding among a bullet-recovery system for $21,500, a video-surveillance system at its Strasburg Substation for $14,850, and smoke/fire hoods for the Adams County Detention Facility for $7,386.
The bullet-recovery system will allow the Sheriff’s Office to speed up the testing of ballistic evidence and provide a stronger case for court. The video-surveillance system for Strasburg is for the safety of the deputies, who will be able to observe those entering the facility. The fire hoods at the detention center will allow security staff to enter a smoke-filled room to rescue victims of fire or smoke, or to evacuate an area without being affected. For many years, the Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs provided funding to law enforcement agencies through the Local Law Enforcement Block Grant. In 2005, this was changed to the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG).
WESTMINSTER POLICE REPORT THEFT: A 26-year-old Westminster woman was arrested Nov. 27 after trying to steal $205.28 in merchandise from WalMart at 7155 Sheridan Blvd. A loss prevention officer saw that the woman was acting suspiciously and kept a visual on her as she walked through the store, selected various items and concealed them inside a backpack. She approached the register and paid for a few groceries, but did not try to pay for the concealed merchandise. She was issued a summons for theft and later transported to the Jefferson County jail on outstanding warrants. FORGERY: An officer was dispatched Nov. 23 to Walmart at 9499 Sheridan Blvd. in reference to found property. A manager said that one of her employees gave her a fake $100 bill that was in her register from the previous day. She was ready to call the police when she found a stack of other counterfeit bills that was in the manager’s office. She said the other managers and
employees apparently didn’t know the protocol after discovering counterfeit bills. The manager said she remembers a man coming into the store the day before and paying for small inexpensive items with a large bill. The officer obtained still photographs and a copy of the surveillance footage, and advised the manager to contact the police if the suspect returns and tries to use counterfeit money again. DISORDERLY CONDUCT, DISPLAYS WEAPON: Officers were dispatched Nov. 22 to Dickey’s BBQ at 5715 Sheridan Blvd. in reference to a felony menacing. As officers were en route, they spotted the suspect – a 19-year-old Arvada man – at 88th Avenue and Sheridan Boulevard and placed him into custody. Officers contacted the victim, a 20-year-old Westminster man, who said he got into an altercation with the suspect in the parking lot when he verbally threatened him and pulled out a knife with a five-inch blade. The suspect
was transported to the police department, processed and later released on a summons. THEFT: A 47-year-old woman from Loma, Colo., phoned the police Nov. 21 to report a theft that occurred while she was staying at Cottonwood Suites at 12095 Mariposa St. She said she checked into the hotel Nov. 15 and checked out the next day. During her stay at the hotel, she had a work portfolio containing a

Pharmaceutical bill shows bipartisanship Every gallon of milk at any grocery store in Colorado carries a bar code that contains its history — the dairy farm where it originated, where it was pasteurized and when it expires, among other things. If a batch is contaminated or there is an outbreak of disease, officials can trace where the milk came from and quickly respond. Shoppers might be surprised to learn that Items in the pharmacy at those same grocery stores do not have a similar system of protection in place. In fact, pharmacists cannot determine with any certainty where a prescription drug has been and whether it has been secured or safely stored on its way to the pharmacy. Prescription drugs pass through many different hands in the supply chain — manufacturers, distributors, dispensers and repackagers. All that exists to regulate the chain is a patchwork of rules that varies enormously from state to state.
This is a serious issue that needs to be addressed. In 2009, nearly 130,000 vials of insulin where stolen, left unrefrigerated, and later found across the country in a national pharmacy chain after patients began reporting poor control of their insulin levels. Less than 2 percent of the insulin was ever recovered. And just a year ago, contaminated compounded drugs from a center in New England caused a meningitis outbreak that killed 64 people. All that’s about to change. A few weeks ago, the most comprehen-
sive drug safety bill in a quarter-century became law. The Drug Quality and Security Act requires that prescription drugs be tracked from the time they are manufactured to the moment they are delivered to the drugstore. It’s like UPS or FedEx, but for prescription drugs instead of packages. And it won’t add a penny to our deficit. These supply-chain security provisions are the culmination of more than two years of bipartisan work with Sen. Richard Burr, a Republican from North Carolina, in conjunction with a wide range of business and consumer groups. In a dysfunctional Congress that has deservedly earned its reputation for unprecedented levels of partisan gridlock, this bill passed both the House of Representatives and the Senate unanimously. It is a shining example of what can be achieved when we put our political differences aside and work to tackle tough problems. Our common-sense proposal will help
reduce the burden of a cumbersome, patchwork regulatory system, driving costs down while protecting families from counterfeit or tainted drugs. Now we’ll know who has handled the medicine we take and give to our kids, and where and when they handled it. If Colorado fruit growers can track a peach from the tree to the store, consumers should reasonably expect the same level of scrutiny for their prescription drugs. Pharmacists in Colorado fill more than 60 million prescriptions every single year, and for many of us, the medications we take can mean the difference between life and death. Families purchasing these drugs deserve to know they are safe. Now, with the bipartisan and pragmatic Drug Quality and Security Act, they can have that peace of mind. Democrat Michael Bennet has represented Colorado in the U.S. Senate since 2009.
question of the week
What is your favorite holiday tradition? We asked several folks in Olde Town Arvada about their favorite traditions for this time of year, and here is what they said.
“We’re of Danish heritage, so we always had Christmas dinner and danced around the tree. Then Santa would come. We knew he had been there because the rice pudding would be gone. Then we could open our presents.” Marj Frels Arvada “I like the food — sweet potato casserole with marshmallows, brown sugar and oats.” Erin Casellas Arvada

It’s looking a lot like Christmas in the area “Oh, there’s no place like home for the holidays” the song goes, and though many of us cannot go back home in person, we can go back in memory to relive our childhood Christmases. I don’t think there is a nicer place to be at holiday time than the farm in snowy Minnesota. We didn’t need to dream of a white Christmas; we always had plenty of snow. Never a Christmas went by that we didn’t put on ice skates or skis. Christmas on the farm really got under way early in November when the hogs were butchered to make delicious German sausage, but that was mainly for the grownups since the name alone turned us kids off. We all helped make the sausage. It was a big job, and my aunt and uncle even came out from town to help. We would fill big laundry tubs with long strings of sausage, and then my father took them to the smoke house. There, a carefully tended, smoldering fire was kept under the sausage hanging on long poles until Christmas week when the sausage was pronounced “ready.” In those days Christmas shopping never got started until about two weeks before Christmas, and no self-respecting merchant displayed his toys until then. But from then on, his store was filled with school kids “oohing and aahing” over the toys. If you lived in a small farming community, as I did, you will remember that the local hardware store was the place to shop. Since the hardware store was the place the farmer bought a great deal of his supplies from milk cans to horse harnesses, it only made sense that the hardware store would also supply the toys. In Sauk Centre, my parents shopped at Hildred Hardware Store even though
we had a larger hardware chain store just two doors down. Hildred’s was more expensive, but they carried higher-quality goods, and besides, my father had a great deal of respect for “old man Hildred who came from Sweden with five cents in his pocket.” (He died a millionaire.) The big store window at Hildred’s was filled with toys. Every day we’d stop in to look over the skis, ice skates, “Red Flyer” sleds, and the glass cases that contained the pocket knives and double-keyed harmonicas. Each year my three brothers got a new knife and a harmonica. In addition, we looked over the games. Games in those days were rather simple. We had Chinese checkers, dominoes and the familiar red-and-black checkers set. Oh yes, there were also the marbleshooting games that looked like miniature pinball machines with the spring trigger that broke soon after. A must for Christmas was a double deck of playing cards for my parents so we kids could have the “old” deck. Playing cards was a very popular pastime with young and old alike during the long, cold winter. On days when we would be snowed in, we would start to play 500 and Whist right after breakfast, and between

An early Christmas present You could say that the Regional Transportation District is playing Santa Claus with its recent announcement to build a significant portion of the North Metro commuter rail line. What a nice “gift,” so to speak (remember it’s sales-tax funded on a regional basis) as one by one the 2004 FasTracks’ 6 new corridors are being designed, built and operated. Denver, Commerce City, Northglenn, Thornton and Adams County residents will benefit. The latest deal with private-sector interests consisting of Graham, Balfour Beatty and Hamon Construction will provide the design and construction from the National Western Stock Show station to the 124th Avenue station. The remaining segment to Highway 7 will be a future project. The contract has a $343 million price tag before any operating costs are calculated.
Overcoming fiscal hurdles
RTD is to be saluted for its tenacity in finding ways to partner with privatesector interests to accomplish the various
commuter rail lines. Given the fiscal plight that occurred, i.e. over-optimistic salestax revenue forecasting and significant jumps in construction costs and railway right-of-way acquisitions, RTD leadership has been effective. However, the commuter rail line closest to home, the Northwest Rail Line, has only progressed from Union Station to 71st Avenue and Irving Street in south Westminster. The bulk of this corridor is yet to be resolved while RTD commissioned a study to evaluate options other than building commuter rail to Longmont. More on that issue in the
future.
cyber sales sans sales taxes.
Internet sales tax
Passing of mental-health hero
Could this holiday shopping season via cyber connections be the last one that is sales-tax free? A major action by the U.S. Supreme Court involving salestax collections of Internet retail sales by a state government should open the doors to state and local sales taxes being imposed and collected across the United States. The Supreme Court refused to hear disputes from Amazon.com and other online retailers regarding a New York state court decision upholding a requirement to collect and remit state sales tax on retail sales. According to the National Council of State Legislatures, state governments lost an estimated $23.3 billion in 2012 because they could not collect such taxes. The issue of collecting/remitting sales taxes first on catalog sales and then more recently on Internet sales has been pursued by municipalities and states for more than 35-40 years. So, enjoy this last “hurrah” on
Adams County has been blessed over the past 50 years with leaders who fought for public mental-health services. So often, the provision of comprehensive mental-health services to the community is overlooked or at least slighted. This is not the case in Adams County. Thanks to people like former Presbyterian pastor Lester Nickless, long-time former mentalhealth executive Youlon Savage, and citizen activists Mary Ciancio and Marge Ball, Adams County residents are able to receive needed professional help and counseling. This past week Marge Ball left this Earth to carry on other good works. Thank you, Marge, for your long-term crusade and support.

No coasting through uphill battles I have a favorite bike ride I try to do a couple times each week during the summer. It’s not a really long one, and it’s not up a mountain or anything crazy like that, but it challenges me. I get a good workout and a good rush of speed out of it. And that’s all I’m really looking for in a ride. But there is this point in the ride where, the first couple times I rode it, I thought I was done climbing. I could see this point from several hundred yards off, and it was my target. I thought I was cruising from there only to find out once I crested that hill, there was a slight turn to the right leading to another 75 yards of climb. It’s not that the 75 yards is particularly harder than any other part of the climb, it’s that I thought I was done. I refer to that spot lovingly now as “the spirit breaker;” once you imagine the hard part is over, it’s really tough to ramp back up again, even for a little bit. Unfortunately, many parts of life are exactly that same way. You do something

fights, the card playing would continue all day. In later years we got a Monopoly game and that somewhat took the place of all our card playing. Earlier in December, my mother got out the Christmas catalogs, and we made long lists from it, mostly naming clothing items. High on the list were the long, flannel pretty nightgowns, and those scarves and mitten sets. In addition my mother ordered those cozy, warm sheet blankets that we used in place of the cold, ordinary sheets in the winter. The Christmas tree was always purchased at the grocery store. In those days we didn’t have Christmas tree lots. Most of the grocery stores had their meager selection of trees out in back of the store and a few inside the store to tempt the shopper. My father brought the tree home about the 15th of December, and from then on we begged to put it up all the while complaining how scrawny and scraggly it looked. Remember those series lights? They always managed to go out on Christmas Eve and it would take a good hour of replacing every darn bulb to find the burned-out one that made the whole string go out. When no one any longer believed in Santa, we began opening our presents on Christmas Eve, and everyone wore their new clothes to Midnight Mass. Although the church was cold, we took off our coats when we went to Communion to show off our new outfits. After Midnight Mass came the real festivities. Several farm families who passed by our house would stop in for the sausage, fruitcake and Muscatel wine. Even the children got to drink wine that
difficult, rewarding and amazing, and you think you’re done with it only to find out that there’s more hard work left to do. A teacher friend of mine, Mike McQueen, recently finished writing a book called “Getting Boys To Read,” which is a timely and very important topic. And I thought to myself, having been there, “Way to go, Mike! Are you ready for what’s next?” It turns out, he was: he held an online “crowd funding” fundraiser, and raised enough money to pursue self-publishing and a substantial printing of his book.
one night. The fun went on until about 6 a.m. Of course we made plans to try out the new skates and skis later Christmas Day, but actually the rest of the day was almost anticlimactic. Christmas was over for another year. Today it seems that much of the punch is taken out of Christmas by all the early shopping, etc. By the time Christmas comes, everyone is tired and irritable, and all partied out. In the older years, all the Christmas cards came the last week, and did we enjoy them. May the true spirit of the season come into your homes and abide with you, and may all of you find a Christmas stocking overflowing with good health and happiness in the new year. For those of you who called in for the peanut brittle recipe, here it is: 4 cups white sugar 2 cups white syrup 1 cup water 1 teaspoon salt 4 teaspoons vanilla Cook in large kettle over medium heat until thread forms. Add 16 ounces of raw Spanish peanuts. Then cook about another 45 minutes stirring constantly. When candy reaches the hard crack stage, remove from stove and add 2 pats of butter and 2 teaspoons baking soda. It will foam up. Then pour on 2 greased cookie sheets.

One of my heroes is J.K.Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter novels. One of my favorite aspects of her story is that her work was rejected by 12 different publishing houses before it finally got picked up. Writing is hard — writing a novel is very hard, and takes talent and energy and effort and concentration over long periods of time. Imagine creating something as magical as Harry Potter and then being told 12 times that it wasn’t good enough. But she avoided her “spirit breaker” and persevered, to great reward. I believe Mike will avoid his own “spirit breaker” and put something out that will be important and rewarding. I think we all have our goals, our aspi-
rations and our hopes, and it is incredibly important that we pursue those. Without them, there would be no forward direction in our lives. But it’s important, I think, to remember that goals are often just the start of the story. There will almost always be other hills to crest and other challenges to face. If you bring the same energy to those that you do to the first hill, there will, eventually, be a place to pick up speed and coast. A little.

Make plans for the holidays Winter holidays receive a huge buildup. Before the jack-o-lantern loses its smile, stores are advertising sales, stringing lights, setting up displays and playing seasonal music. People talk about being in the holiday mood with all the excitement in the air. The season brings changes for many families — people are visiting, different foods are eaten, homes take on festive looks, and bedtime schedules may be disrupted. Changes in environment and routines can cause uncertainty and stress. Television and magazines depict the holiday season as a time when settings are perfect and everyone is happy. For some people, these images may instill the need to make this “the best holiday” or “the best time of year” ever. These commercial images do not reflect most people’s reality. When the images become expectations that aren’t met, many people experience anxiety. To make this a truly happy time of year, keep expectations at a reasonable level and set realistic goals.
Planning Planning is key to holiday happiness and enjoyment. Involve all family members in the process. If certain traditions, special meals, parties or travel are a part of your family holiday, make the arrangements early. List special projects that require time and patience and work on one project at
a time. It might be helpful to do the most time-consuming and unpleasant activities first. Assemble everything needed to get a project done, assign tasks to all family members, and work until it’s completed. Allow small children to get involved to experience the fun of helping. Once the project is done, clear away the clutter.
This is the time of year when people tend to overdo to make others happy. This attitude drains time, energy and finances. People cook too much and do not have room to store leftovers. They shop for the ideal gift, yet Aunt Jamie does not remember what was given her two years ago. Happier holidays come from sound resource management and enjoyable times spent with family and friends. This time of year, the home can become a place where families learn pleasures to carry them through all the seasons. Use holiday shopping excursions as a time to learn about family resources. Shopping can be stressful, so start early. Do not try to remember everything. Shop with a list that has names, items, sizes, color preferences and the approximate amount to be spent. Shop when you aren’t tired. Take breaks, sit down, or have a healthy snack. Many families shop year-round for holiday presents to take advantage of sales and selection. To avoid large crowds, shop at small,

specialty stores away from large malls. Parking may be easier, there usually are fewer people, service often is more personalized, and merchandise more unique. Mail order and Internet shopping are other options. Use well-known and established companies and understand return policies and procedures. Take advantage of 800 numbers to ask questions about products and company policies. Know your financial personality and be prepared to manage holiday spending. A hoarder who worries about money will find shopping less enjoyable than the overspender or money manipulator. Watch the amount you purchase on credit. Imagine paying in April, May or June for something that has not lasted that long!
Keep the right focus
Do not become pressured by commercial pitches to buy, buy, buy or to give, give,
give. Instead, relax and enjoy the colorful displays and merchandise for their beauty and interest. What do the holidays mean to you? What is important to your family during this season? Do you treasure time spent with each other and friends? This is a season to show others you care. Show your giving spirit by running an errand for an elderly neighbor, baking cookies for new parents or a student completing final exams, or volunteering to read stories in the pediatric ward of the local hospital. Have your children make useful gifts for residents in a senior facility. Do not allow distractions to lessen safety — fasten seat belts, use car seats, choose age-appropriate toys, pick up toys, use non-combustible materials for decorations, and check smoke alarms. To make this a happy holiday season, focus on family and not chores. Slow down and enjoy each other! Article by P.

A great big day of giving in Colorado Colorado Gives Day encourages philanthropic online giving By Crystal Anderson
canderson@ourcoloradonews.com The Christmas holiday is a time when people are encouraged to help others, and this holiday season more than 30,000 people are giving back — in a big way. Residents across the state participated Dec. 10 in the fourth annual Colorado Gives Day, a statewide, philanthropic effort to promote charitable giving through online resources. “It’s really great to see our supporters being a part of this event locally as well as be a part of a much bigger picture with nonprofits across the state,” said Rebecca Hansen, development director at the Jefferson Center for Mental Health. The event, founded in 2010 by Arvada-based Community First Foundation, has raised more than $36 million for Colorado nonprofits, and organizers predict it will continue to grow. “It’s crazy and exciting,” said Dana Rinderknecht, director of online giving at Community First Foundation. “Nonprofits have always embraced it, and they take it and run with it the way that best fits them. It’s really the nonprofits that have made it a success, and the donors? Can’t go anywhere without them.” This year, more than 1,400 nonprofits statewide participated in the event, including 18 Arvada nonprofits. Around Arvada, businesses including the Arvada Beer Company and Braun Taphaus and Grille hosted events for Colorado Gives Day. They offered discounts and promoted making contributions to area nonprofits, including the Ralston House and the Jefferson Center for Mental Health. “I believe it’s the responsibility as a business owner to add value to your community and really extend your-

While focused on nonprofits, Colorado Gives Day helps build connections and stronger communities throughout the state, Rinderknecht said. “Colorado Gives Day is a great event to connect donors with the nonprofits in their community,” she said. “Having a strong nonprofit community makes stronger nonprofits doing amazing work in our community.” Donations are still being accepted through cogives.org.

Protect your water pipes from freezing
Colorado winters are notorious for severe freezing weather and unprotected water lines will freeze at the most inconvenient times. The City of Westminster Utilities Division offers a few suggestions to avoid frozen water pipes, and what to do when water pipes are frozen: Drain outside faucets by disconnecting garden hoses from them. If faucets are not self-draining, turn off the outside water. Turn off and drain irrigation sprinkler systems, especially the vacuum breakers, by opening the petcock valves. If water pipes are exposed to freezing temperatures in crawlspaces or from open or broken windows, wrap them with insulation or electrical heat tape. Make sure your water meter pit lid is in place.
Tips for running holiday lights at a cheaper price Running festive holiday lights doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg. Light emitting diode technology can be used in place of incandescent holiday light bulbs to keep electricity costs low during the holiday season. A string of 125 large C7 incandescent bulbs using 4 watts per bulb would use 500 watts when turned on. A string of 300 miniature incandescent bulbs using 0.4 watts each would use 120 watts when turned on. In contrast, a string of 300 LED bulbs using 0.04 watts each would use only 12 watts when turned on. If each of these strings ran for 12 hours per day over a 40 day period, the C7 incandescent string would cost a typical homeowner $24, the miniature incandescent string would cost $5.76, and the LED string would cost 57 cents! Homeowners running multiple strings can experience even greater savings. The increased up-front cost of the LED lights can typically be offset in two to three holiday seasons when compared to mini-incandescents. Other advantages of using LED holiday lights include: their long life span (typically 20,000 hours or 40 holiday seasons); their cool temperature (reducing the risk of fire); and reduced risk of overloading the wall socket when connecting multiple strings. The US Department of Energy estimates that if every household used LED holiday lights in place of incandescents, the country would save over $410 million in electricity costs.

Each year The Senior Hub gets great support from our community to help feed older adults living right here in our local communities. Thanks to the Eagles Arie #4019 on Federal for donating 20 turkeys and side dishes, but also for their generous gift of a new chest freezer for use by our food pantry. What a nice early Christmas gift for us and
wonderful support for our clients. We need to also thank the 7-10 Westminster Rotary Club for boxes filled with everything needed for a full turkey dinner plus an extra breakfast. This donation supported another 20 seniors. And then we also had turkeys from the Food Bank of the Rockies which took care of some of our walk in
elders needing a little help. Not to be outdone, The Senior Hub Meals on Wheels program partnered with Westminster Reformed Church to prepare and deliver hot Thanksgiving meals to more than 40 seniors who are clients of our Meals on Wheels program. We are blessed to have such great community support. It truly was a Thanksgiving.

The 39th annual holiday art market at the Foothills Art Center has become a tradition not only for Golden residents, but artists all over Colorado. To help give everyone a great time, there will be some special events going on this year at the market. Courtesy photos

New and familiar on display at Foothills Art Center By Clarke Reader

O
ne of the holiday mainstays for arts and craft lovers, the Foothills Art Center annual holiday market is here again to supply Colorado-made gifts. The market runs through Sunday, Dec. 29, at the center, 809 15th St. in Golden, and features the work of more than 100 local artists. The market is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays, and noon to 5 p.m. Sundays. Admission is free, though donations are accepted. “This is one of the longest-standing exhibitions at the FAC,” said Becky Guy, exhibitions coordinator and gift gallery manager. “Unlike most exhibitions, all the artists on display are not only from Colorado, but the near vicinity, so we have them constantly coming in to restock the items for sale.” The items on sale include ceramics, fiber, glass, jewelry, paintings, woodworking, photography and holiday items. Mary Beth Beach, a volunteer at the center, said about 20 to 30 percent of the artists on display this year are new to the market. “We have different artists, and with that comes fresh ideas on how to display things and make it festive,” she said. The market features thousands of unique handcrafted items, all displayed against the backdrop of the historic Gothic church that houses the main gallery spaces.
Beach said keeping the market local is a key part of its success and is in the spirit of what the FAC is all about. “The center began as a community effort, as a place for local artists to display their work,” she said. “We wanted to foster a Colorado connection and show that we have nationalcaliber artists here. And we’re the only place they have their work.” Beach is also participating in the show, displaying and selling the baskets she makes. Guy said the market has a very relaxed feeling, which creates a fun shopping atmosphere for everyone. “We want to create a space where people can take their time and move well from one booth to the other,” she said. The market is an annual tradition for shoppers and artists, but the people who work at the center look forward to it every year, too. “It all comes full circle — I grew up in Golden and used to come to the market every year. Now I work here,” Guy said. WHAT: 39th annual holiday art market Special events at the market WHERE: Foothills Art Center In addition to being 809 15th St., Golden WHEN: Through Dec. 29 home to some of the best 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through art shopping in the area, Saturdays special events for the enNoon to 5 p.m. Sundays tire family are included to COST: There is no admission fee make sure everyone has a INFORMATION: 303-279-3922 or good time. www.foothillsartcenter.org A sweatshirt decoration party will be from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 14, where visitors bring a sweatshirt or hoodie, and the FAC supplies decorating supplies and artistic guidance.

IF YOU GO
Radio talk show conservative Mike Rosen, who turned 69 Dec. 5, is taking his show to a slightly different time slot beginning Jan. 2. “KOA (850 AM) is about the only station in the country that delays Rush (Limbaugh) two hours,” Rosen told me on his birthday. “The parent company of Clear Channel decided to (air) Rush live from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. `The Colorado Morning News’ show with Stefan (Tubbs) and April (Zesbaugh) will move to 5-10 a.m. and become five hours instead of four.” Changing the `Rush Limbaugh Show’ to live time left Rosen with the 1-3 p.m. time slot after working a 9 a.m.-to-noon spot. “I understand, and it’s fine with me,” Rosen told me. “I’m on the air one less hour, which makes me on the air five hours less a week. But with show prep (answering emails, contacting advertisers, etc.), I still work 70 hours a week. So many people listen to my show online, so for them nothing will change.” Rosen said his contract with Clear Channel lasts another one and a half years, then he’ll see what happens. “I take it one contract at a time,” he said.
Manning minds manners
Perhaps the sure way to secure an autograph from Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning is to invite him to your wedding. Sounds more tidy than playing the post-game waiting game or bidding beaucoup bucks on a signed jersey during a charity auction. In the case of Anna and James, a couple with a wedding last fall, all they had to do was send No. 18 a formal invitation, according to a post on Reddit. A photo of the signed invite went viral after a Redditor “Lackadaisical Romp” posted the pic of the wedding invitation sent by his sister. Not only did Manning show his Southern gentlemanly manners by responding in a timely manner, but he checked off the “regretfully decline” box and added the inscription, “Anna and James, Best Wishes.” A Yahoo.com poster quipped, “Perhaps our favorite comment about the photo comes courtesy of Redditor `MasterSplinter21’ who writes, `Eli (Manning) replied too, but his response was intercepted.’ Even with two Super Bowl rings and the Giants’ current winning streak, poor Eli still gets treated like the little brother.”
Christkindl returns
Denver’s 13th annual Christkindl Market at Skyline Park on the 16th Street Mall and Arapahoe (across from the D&F Tower and ice skating rink) brings a German flair to Christmas shopping and entertainment through Dec. 21. This year’s market — Colorado’s largest and most authentic Christkindl venue — will be bigger and better than ever with the addition of more music, more beer and Gluehwein (mulled red wine), entertainment and more holiday spirit. Hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sundays

Food & Wine magazine, sponsors of the annual top-shelf foodie event the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen, has confirmed what we’ve known all along. According to www.foodandwine.com, among the best green chili is the one served at Denver’s Rocky Mountain Chili Bowl, 7305 E. 35th Ave. Here’s what the Food & Wine folks had to say: “What started as a food truck flaunting the slogan `Go green or go home’ has grown into a dedicated green chili restaurant. RMCB’s pork and vegetarian green chilies are available in mellow, medium or hot — spiked with hot Hatch green chiles, jalapeños and secret seasonings. Thanks to implementing a long list of eco-initiatives, the restaurant is also now certified green. To see more, go to www.foodandwine.com/slideshows/best-chili-in-theus/5#!slide=5.

seat next year. However, in the end, she fell short. “It was an incredible opportunity to run,” Gagliardi said. “Senate District 19 has a wonderful leader in Rachel Zenzinger and I think we move forward.” Rep. Tracy Kraft-Tharp, D-Arvada, who once considered running for the seat, was a supporter of Gagliardi’s candidacy. Still, Kraft-Tharp did not walk away disappointed. “She’s sharp, she’s strong and she’ll represent the district very well,” Kraft-Tharp said. “I’m very excited.” Hudak of Westminster resigned on Nov. 27, just days before a group that sought her ouster was set to submit petition signatures to force a recall election. The group, which called itself Recall Hudak Too, targeted Hudak primarily over her votes on gun control legislation this year and because of the competitiveness of Senate District 19 — a key swing district that is made up of the cities of Arvada and Westminster. Had Hudak lost in a recall election, Democratic control of the 18-17 Senate would have flipped to Republicans.
Council Continued from Page 1
“I think because I haven’t lived in Westminster for a long time, it gives me a new perspective to see things from a different vantage point,” she said. One person who doesn’t see the benefit is David DeMott, a longtime Westminster resident who ran in the November election and also applied for the vacant seat. He came in fifth place earning almost 7,200 votes. He said he was surprised by the unanimous vote because he knows very
Hudak did not attend the Dec. 10 vote. Instead, Kathryn Wallace, the chairwoman of the Senate District 19 vacancy committee, read a letter from the former lawmaker, who said her decision to resign was “heartbreaking,” but was “the right thing to do.” Throughout the night, Wallace and others praised Hudak’s service in the Senate, particularly for work on education bills. “She is no longer in the senate, but she will continue to be a champion and a fighter,” Wallace said of Hudak. Zenzinger will join the Senate when the Legislature begins its work in January. But her honeymoon period will be a short one because she faces both a primary and general election next November. Democrats’ margin for error in Senate District 19 is razor thin. Hudak was elected to the Senate in 2008 and again in 2012, both by very slim margins. And it will be one of the most hotly contested races to watch again next year. But Zenzinger reminded vacancy committee members that she ran Hudak’s successful 2012 campaign and that she knows how to win close elections. “In order to win Senate District19, we cannot rely on Democrats alone,” she said. “This district is a political target and we need to be prepared to defend it in November.”
little about Seitz, and wonders why city council chose a person who has only lived in Westminster for a couple years. “I don’t fully understand the choice. Who is Anita? I don’t know anything about her,” he said. “She could end up being a great choice, and I hope that she is. But I thought I was a good choice earning as many votes as I did and having support throughout the community during a solid campaign.” Councilman Alberto Garcia said Seitz was specular during her interview with incredible knowledge on the issues of Westminster. He said council was impressed with her ideas and her preparation coming into the interview.

WEDNESDAY/DEC. 18 KASHMIR SINCE the formation of India and Pakistan in 1947, both countries have fought over the region known as Kashmir. Containing a Muslim majority, but ruled by Hindu dominated India, Kashmir is viewed by Pakistan as belonging to them. So strong is this conflict that it has been the trigger of two separate wars between India and Pakistan, and even drawn China into the conflict. Add to the mix, the nuclear arsenal of both countries and it’s not difficult to see the potential flashpoint that Kashmir represents in the region. Join Active Minds 1:45-3:30 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 18, as we explore Kashmir and seek to understand its pivotal role in South Asia.

Mustangs grab first place in home opener Freshman diver breaks record in first high school meet By Kate Ferraro
kferraro@ourcoloradonews.com Mountain Range girls swimming took first place in every event in their meet Dec. 5 against Greeley West at the Veterans Memorial Aquatic Center in Thornton. The Mustangs racked up 484 points in their season and home opener. Mountain Range began the season last year against the Spartans and won that meet, as well. Mustangs’ head coach Jeff Johnson and Greeley West’s head coach has a little bit of a history. “It’s always a fun rivalry between them,” Johnson said. “Their coach and I used to swim in high school. It’s always fun to have some fun with them.” The Mustangs best event of the day was the 100-yard butterfly, placing first through fourth, and sixth. Mountain Range junior Shelly Drozda was the firstplace finisher with a time of 58.99. “We have a really strong fly group this year,” Drozda said. Drozda almost beat the district record that’s been held for many years. Johnson said Drozda has been swimming yeararound her whole life and is getting ready to go to junior nationals with the USA swimming team. “She just missed it by a few tenths,” Johnson said of Drozda’s 100 fly time. “That’s one of her goals this year is to get that time. We’re so glad she’s part of our team and she can help add to our success.” The Mustangs also won first, second and third place in the 200-yard individual medley, which was led by Amanda Kassel finishing with a time of 2:34.93. The 500yard freestyle was another strong event for the Mustangs. Kayla Hughes finished with a time of 6:23.77 for first place. Freshman Taylor Jackson scored a

Jackson broke the previous diving record in her first meet as a freshman. “She’s our new freshman and she qualified for state today, it’s pretty exciting,” Johnson said of Jackson. “We got a new school record today, first meet of the season, first meet of her high school career.” Lauren Azlein and Eliee Merkel scored
a 198.85 and 147.35, respectively on the diving board. Azlein came in second place, while Merkel placed third. Overall, Johnson said the meet went smoothly and he’s very impressed with how the team swam in the first meet of the season. Even though they won first place in all 12 events, Johnson said, their goal is to try to place first, second and third in ev-
ery event. Another one of their goals is to qualify as many swimmers to state as they can. Drozda said everyone did really well in the season opener. “I feel like as a team we did really good,” Drozda said. “We had a lot of best times and I’m feeling really good about how our team is going to be this season.”
Northglenn girls struggle against Pomona Norse fall in season, home opener By Kate Ferraro
kferraro@ourcoloradonews. com The Northglenn girl’s basketball team has some work to do after dropping their season opener game to Pomona. The Norse began their season Dec. 5 against a fired-up Panthers team, losing 67-32 at Northglenn High School. Norse head coach Phil Miller said too many things went wrong in the game. “There were a lot of mistakes with fundamentals,” Miller said. “Throwing the ball away, rushing the plays, no movement and not getting back on defense.” Pomona kept Northglenn from taking a single shot until six minutes into the first quarter. The Panthers had two steals and three turnovers before the Norse scored their first points of the game with three minutes left in the first. Pomona led at the end of the first quarter 18-6 and broadened the score even more at halftime 31-16. Northglenn started to come back a little bit at the start of the third quarter scoring 10 points in four minutes compared to Pomona’s four. “We had to be a little more

Photos by Kate Ferraro gritty on defense, just guard the middle a little bit more,” Miller said on the team’s improvement from the first half. Northglenn was only down by 12 points when the Panthers took the ball and ran with it. After being ahead 43-26 at the end of the third, Pomona scored 24 points in the fourth quarter for the 6732 victory.
The Norse has a number of juniors on the roster this year with a few seniors and sophomores and one freshman, Isabel Padilla. Despite the loss, Miller said Padilla played a good game. “Isa is a great little ball player,” Miller said. “She steps it up pretty good against the upper classmen and that’s why she’s playing varsity. She drives; she’s not scared
or hesitant. She’s pretty competitive.” Pomona has a young roster with all of their players being freshmen and sophomores and only one junior. It was their underclassmen that helped Pomona with their first win of the season. Freshman Abriana Ramirez scored 18 points while freshman Julia Trujillo and junior Alexa
Zarlengo had 14. Ramirez had seven steals and Zarlengo stole the ball five times. Northglenn will travel to Arvada Dec. 12 and will play George Washington Dec. 19, before having a two-week break for the holidays. The Norse will need to improve greatly before going out on the court again. “We need to work on defense and shooting has been an issue,” Miller said. “We don’t take real good shots, and we have to have more confidence in our offense. Working better together, seeing the whole court instead of just television.”

Former Northglenn coach Dick Hatch dies Hatch was winningest at Northglenn By Kate Ferraro
kferraro@ourcoloradonews.com Former Northglenn coach Dick Hatch died Nov. 25 from acute leukemia. He was 72.
Hatch coached the Norse boys basketball team for seven years from 1979-1986. Although his tenure didn’t last too long, Hatch was in the district for 33 years. He taught physical education and also coached football, track and boys golf. Hatch was also the winningest boy’s basketball coach in Northglenn history with 89 victories. “He was the life of the P.E. department,”
said Rich Czernicki, former Northglenn JV boy’s basketball coach. “We experienced reality TV back then, always making us laugh.” Czernicki played basketball for Hatch at the former Irma Wyco Junior High School from 1969-1970. He was the JV coach at Northglenn when Hatch was the varsity coach. Czernicki is now retired after being a teacher for 30 years.
“He was a good man,” Czernicki said. “We always played great defense.” Hatch fought a short battle with lymphoma from 1993 to 1994, but eventually overcame the cancer. Three years later, he retired from the Adams 12 School District in 1997. The funeral for Hatch is at 10 a.m. Dec. 14 at the Brighton United Methodist Church on 625 S. 8th Ave. in Brighton.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF DEC 11, 2013
ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Your Arian penchant for impatience shows, as you consider passing a problem-prone project on to someone else. Best advice: Stay with it and work out those snarls yourself. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Even patient Bovines can be frustrated when carefully made plans go awry. But crank up that “stick-to-it-ivity” you do so well, and you’ll soon find that your schedule is back in sync. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Your aspect favors using more resourceful means in dealing with a workplace situation. Some discreet checking around could help shed light on the root cause of the problem.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) You show an unusually strong streak of stubbornness in rejecting suggestions from friends and/or family members early in the week. But you become more receptive by the week’s end. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) The Big Cat might find a gentler approach more effective when dealing with those who resist needed changes. Remember, the word “persuasion” starts with the sound “purr.” VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) A disappointing experience with someone you felt you could trust can be painful. But there just might be more to this situation than you’re aware of. Press for an explanation. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Changing your views about something you believe in isn’t easy. But you might reconsider as the facts come in. Keep your mind open, even if you’re uneasy about what you might learn. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) You might have to do some serious shifting of gears to get your project back on track. But cheer up. Your hard work starts to produce some positive results by the week’s end. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) An unsettling mood at the start of the week soon lifts and gives way to a more positive attitude as you find fun and friendship beginning to dominate your aspect. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) A delay in firming up holiday plans could work to your advantage. Use this time to scout out possibilities that might be more in line with what those close to you would prefer. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Some people might question some of the new friends you’ve welcomed into your life. But your ability to see beyond the obvious helps you recognize how special they are. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Financial matters can be especially tricky this week. It’s best to follow a conservative investment path for now, and wait for a more fortuitous time to take a bolder approach. BORN THIS WEEK: Your warmth, your humor and your genuine concern for others make you someone people love to keep close to their lives. © 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

The terms of the sale obligate Aurora to provide Thornton with 7,883 acft of fully consumable water at the confluence of Sand Creek and the South Platte River (Traded Water Sources). The Traded Water Sources are comprised of any of several sources of water that Aurora owns, controls or will control, including the Eleven Ranches Water Rights and the Agricultural Rights conveyed to Aurora by Thornton, some of which were decreed as sources of substitute supply in Case No. 83CW81. Therefore, Thornton shall continue to have the ability in the future to operate the Clear Creek – South Platte Exchange (South Park water rights) whenever Aurora provides water to Thornton derived from the South Park Water Rights originally decreed as sources of substitute supply. However, Thornton’s future operation of the Clear Creek–South Platte Exchange (South Park water rights) shall be limited solely to circumstances where Aurora provides water to Thornton by exercise of the South Park Water Rights in amounts up to the limits shown on Attachment E and in the same manner as was originally decreed in Case No. 83CW81 at paragraph 12.c., i.e., Aurora must forego diversions and/or release from storage water available by exercise of the South Park Water Rights, and convey such water down to the South Platte
substitute supply. However, Thornton’s future operation of the Clear Creek–South Platte Exchange (South Park water rights) shall be limited solely to circumstances where Aurora provides water to Thornton by exercise of the South Park Water Rights in amounts up to the limits shown on Attachment E and in the same manner as was originally decreed in Case No. 83CW81 at paragraph 12.c., i.e., Aurora must forego diversions and/or release from storage water available by exercise of the South Park Water Rights, and convey such water down to the South Platte River or its tributaries without use by Aurora to make water available at the confluence of Clear Creek and the South Platte River as a substitute supply for Thornton’s diversions by exchange at the Points of Diversion by Exchange, all subject to the terms and conditions contained in the original decree issued in Case No. 83CW81. Moreover, in addition to any accounting requirements set forth in the decree in Case No. 83CW81, Thornton must document, through accounting records provided to Thornton by Aurora or other appropriate records acceptable to the Division Engineer, that the source of substitute supply used in any such exchange is, in fact, solely water derived from the South Park Water Rights either through Aurora’s foregone diversion of said rights, or releases from storage pursuant to said rights. 3.3. Date of Original Decree: November 9, 1990. Case No. 83CW81, District Court, Water Division 1 (“Original Decree”). 3.4. Subsequent decrees awarding findings of diligence: Since the Original Decree was entered November 9, 1990, timely applications for findings of reasonable diligence have been filed in accordance with Colorado law and the following diligence decrees have been entered: 3.4.1. Case No. 96CW278 (January 7, 1998), District Court, Water Division 1. 3.4.2. Case No. 04CW15 (November 14, 2007), District Court, Water Division 1. In Case No. 04CW15, the Court decreed 21.70 cfs of the Clear Creek – South Platte Exchange (South Park water rights) absolute and entered a finding of diligence on the remaining 33.08 cfs and continued the right as conditional. 4. Abandonment of remaining conditional portion (33.08 cfs) of the Clear Creek – South Platte Exchange (South Park water rights).

TO: ALL PERSONS INTERESTED IN WATER APPLICATIONS IN WATER DIV. 1 Pursuant to C.R.S. 37-92-302, you are notified that the following is a resume of all water right applications and certain amendments filed in the Office of the Water Clerk during the month of NOVEMBER 2013 for each County affected. 13CW3145 City of Westminster, 4800 West 92nd Ave., Westminster, Colorado 80030, (303) 658-2400. APPLICATION FOR A CONDITIONAL WATER STORAGE RIGHT AND APPROVAL OF A PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION IN ADAMS COUNTY. Applicant’s Attorney: Lee H. Johnson, Mason H. Brown, Carlson, Hammond & Paddock, LLC, 1900 Grant Street, Suite 1200, Denver, CO 80203. Phone Number: (303) 8619000, Fax Number: (303) 861-9026; ljohnson@chp-law.com; mbrown@chplaw.com. 1. Name and Address of Applicant: City of Westminster, 4800 West 92nd Ave., Westminster, Colorado 80030, (303) 658-2400. 2. Names of Structures: Little Dry Creek Pond. 3. Description of conditional water right: By this Application, Westminster seeks to adjudicate a conditional water storage right known as the Little Dry Creek Pond. Construction of the Little Dry Creek Pond is a component of a Westminster park improvement project conducted in concert with the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District’s (“Urban Drainage”) proposed channel improvements of Little Dry Creek between Lowell Boulevard and Federal Boulevard in Westminster. Details concerning this conditional water right are as follows: A. Little Dry Creek Pond. (1) Location: Little Dry Creek Pond is a 2.3 surface acre, on-channel pond located in the SE1/4 of the NW1/4 of Section 5, Township 3 South, Range 68 West of the 6th P.M., in Adams County, Colorado. In addition, Westminster provides the following coordinates to further identify the approximate location of the Little Dry Creek Pond outlet works utilizing the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) grid system projection based on the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83), Zone 13 North: (497740 E, 4407835 N). The Pond is filled via flows in Little Dry Creek, a tributary to Clear Creek within the South Platte River basin. (2) Source: Little Dry Creek, tributary to the South Platte River. (3) Appropriation Date: November 27, 2013. As evidenced by the filing of this application demonstrating the intent and the overt action of staking of the property demonstrating a first step in the appropriation of this claimed water right. (4) Amount: 25 acre-feet, conditional, with the right to fill and refill. Westminster reserves the right to seek an absolute decree for this water right in this matter to the extent the project is completed and water is diverted in priority and applied to beneficial use during the pendency of this proceeding. No such diversion or beneficial use has occurred as of the date of filing this application. (5) Use: Municipal, recreation, piscatorial, fish and wildlife, augmentation, replacement of evaporation and storage for these purposes. (6) Surface Area at High Water Line: 2.3 acres. (a) Vertical height of dam in feet measured vertically from the elevation of the lowest point of the natural surface of the ground where that point occurs along the longitudinal centerline of the dam up to the crest of the emergency spillway of the dam: 3.5 feet. (This constitutes a non-jurisdictional impoundment.) (b) Length of dam: 50 feet. (7) Total capacity of reservoir in acre feet: 25 acre-feet. Active Capacity: 20 acre-feet. Dead Storage: 5 acre-feet. 4. Description of plan for augmentation: By this Application, Westminster seeks judicial approval of a plan for augmentation to replace out of priority depletions caused by evaporation of water associated with the construction and ongoing operation of Little Dry Creek Pond, an on-stream pond. Westminster intends to operate and maintain a permanent pool of water at the Little Dry Creek Pond covering 2.3 surface acres. The Little Dry Creek Pond will be constructed so as to maintain this permanent pool of water via a fixed overflow pipe, with the potential for short-term temporary stormwater retention capacity above the 2.3 surface acre area when stormflows exceed the capacity of the overflow pipe. In addition, the Little Dry Creek Pond will be equipped with a staff gauge and a separate outlet works that will allow the storage volumes to be reduced for maintenance and/or water administration purposes. Annual evaporation depletions associated with the Little Dry Creek Pond are estimated to be less than 10 acre-feet, annually. Westminster will augment depletions utilizing water derived from several sources, including water derived from a municipal service tap located slightly upstream of the Little Dry Creek Pond and/or water rights derived from Westminster’s prior decrees in Case No. 81CW444, Case No. 81CW447, Case No. 88CW270 and Case No. 93CW176 (the “Prior Westminster Decrees”), to initially fill the pond and subsequently augment depletions associated with evaporation from the onchannel Little Dry Creek Pond. Moreover, Westminster seeks court approval to add additional augmentation sources in the future, so long as those sources are decreed for augmentation purposes and appropriate notice is provided consistent with any decree entered herein. Additional information concerning the augmentation sources is set forth below: A. Municipal Service Tap. Westminster’s municipal water may be released from a treated water line at a point approximately 100 feet from
and subsequently augment depletions associated with evaporation from the onchannel Little Dry Creek Pond. Moreover, Westminster seeks court approval to add additional augmentation sources in the future, so long as those sources are decreed for augmentation purposes and appropriate notice is provided consistent with any decree entered herein. Additional information concerning the augmentation sources is set forth below: A. Municipal Service Tap. Westminster’s municipal water may be released from a treated water line at a point approximately 100 feet from Little Dry Creek and run in an open ditch until reaching Little Dry Creek, at or slightly upstream of Little Dry Creek Pond. Westminster seeks a finding that this proposed operation does not constitute a point source discharge under C.R.S. § 258-503(5). Notwithstanding any such finding, Westminster will take appropriate steps to de-chlorinate the treated water prior to release to Little Dry Creek in accordance with the terms of the Water Quality Control Division’s Low Risk Discharge Guidance, Discharges of Potable Water, Revised August 2009. To this end, de-chlorination of the treated water will naturally occur as a result of the open ditch conveyance mechanism or will be otherwise appropriately removed so that water will be effectively de-chlorinated at the point of release to Little Dry Creek. B. Prior Westminster Decrees. Westminster may also use water rights derived from the following decrees as an augmentation source: 1. Case No. 81CW444. In Case No. 81CW144, Westminster adjudicated a junior water right on Little Dry Creek. Relevant information concerning the decree is as follows: Date Entered: August 7, 1990, Case No: Case No. 81CW444. Court: District Court, Water Division No. 1. Source: Little Dry Creek. Amount: In Case No. 81CW444, Westminster obtained a junior water right on Little Dry Creek in the amount of 10 c.f.s., conditional. The point of diversion is located on Little Dry Creek in the NE1/4 of Section 6, Township 3 South, Range 68 West of the 6th P.M. in Adams County (the “LDC Diversion Point”). Approp. Date: September 14, 1981. Decreed Use: Irrigation, domestic, municipal commercial, industrial, recreational, exchange, replacement and augmentation purposes in the operation of the City of Westminster’s municipal utility system. 2. Case No. 81CW447. In Case No. 81CW147, Westminster adjudicated an exchange right on Little Dry Creek. The decree adjudicates an exchange utilizing fully consumable effluent generated at the Metropolitan Wastewater Reclamation District (“Metro”) Plant as a source of substitute supply exchanged to a point upstream at the LDC Diversion Point. The outfall of the Metro Plant is located at a point of the east bank of the South Platte River in Section 1, Township 3 South, Range 68 West, which lies 1,400 feet east of the southwest corner of said Section 1, County of Adams, State of Colorado. Relevant information concerning the decree is as follows: Date Entered: April 26, 1989, Case No: Case No. 81CW447. Court: District Court, Water Division No. 1. Source: Little Dry Creek. Amount: In Case No. 81CW447, Westminster obtained a junior water right on Little Dry Creek in the amount of 10 c.f.s., conditional. The LDC Diversion Point is located on Little Dry Creek in the NE1/4 of Section 6, Township 3 South, Range 68 West of the 6th P.M. in Adams County. Approp. Date: September 14, 1981. Decreed Use: Within the City of Westminster's municipal utility system for municipal, irrigation, domestic, commercial, industrial, recreational, exchange, replacement, and augmentation purposes. 3. Case No. 88CW270. In Case No. 88CW270, Westminster adjudicated junior water rights and changed interests in other water rights to facilitate incorporation of said water rights into Westminster’s Kershaw Pipeline and Jim Baker Reservoir (a.k.a. Happe Ponds or Westminster Lakes) system. Relevant information concerning the decree is as follows: Date Entered: April 9, 1991, Case No: Case No. 88CW270. Court: District Court, Water Division No. 1. Source: Clear Creek and Ralston Creek. Amount: Kershaw Pipeline – 10 c.f.s., conditional. Jim Baker Reservoir junior storage right – 768 acrefeet with a right to fill and refill, to be filled at a rate of 60 c.f.s. with the maximum annual diversion limited to 1,200 acre-feet. Jim Baker Reservoir is located in the S1/2 NE1/4 and the N1/2 SE1/4 of Section 7, Township 3 South, Range 68 West of the 6th P.M., in Adams County. Approp. Date: June 10, 1988. Decreed Use: All beneficial uses of the municipal water system of Westminster as it presently exists and as it may hereafter be expanded or modified, including domestic, irrigation, commercial, industrial, recreation, fish and wildlife, augmentation, replacement and exchange or may be stored and subsequently used for all of the above purposes. Description: In addition to the junior water rights discussed above, under the terms of the decree in Case No. 88CW270, Westminster obtained the right to divert prior changed water rights at the Kershaw Ditch headgate as an alternate point of diversion. Said water may then be delivered via the Kershaw Ditch Pipeline into storage in Jim Baker Reservoir. The Kershaw Ditch Pipeline also extends to the City’s former England Water Treatment Plant, located at the intersection of Elk Drive and Raleigh Street in Westminster, Colorado, just south of Little Dry Creek. 4. Case No. 93CW176. In Case No. 93CW176, Westminster changed the use of additional interests held in the Kershaw Ditch and the Manhart Ditch. Relevant information concerning the change decree is as follows: Date Entered: November 25, 1997. Case No: Case No. 93CW176. Court: District Court, Water Division No. 1. Source: Clear Creek and Ralston Creek. Amount: The decree in Case No. 93CW176 contains volumetric limits for the City’s diversions under the various ditch rights. It also outlines specific return flow obligations associated with the various ditch rights. Upon payment of all required return flow obligations under the decree, and subject to the volumetric limits under the decree, the remaining water is fully consumable. Approp. Date: N.A. Decreed Use: All beneficial uses, including, but not limited to, municipal, domestic, irrigation, commercial, industrial, recreation, fish and wildlife, augmentation, replacement, and exchange, within the municipal water supply system and service area of the City of Westminster as it presently exists and as it may hereafter be expanded or modified. Description: Under the terms of the decree in Case No. 93CW176, the changed water rights may be diverted for municipal purposes at the Kershaw Ditch. Said water may then be delivered via the Kershaw Ditch Pipeline into storage in Jim Baker Reservoir. The Kershaw Ditch Pipeline also extends just south of Little Dry Creek at the City’s former England Water Treatment Plant. By this Application, Westminster seeks to replace up to a maximum of 10.0 acre-feet per year of total depletions resulting from evaporation from the on-stream Little Dry Creek Pond. Westminster will release augmentation water directly into Little Dry Creek upstream of the Little Dry Creek Pond, or by exchange pursuant to the exchange adjudicated in Case No. 81CW447, or to Clear Creek by release from Jim Baker Reservoir upstream of the relevant controlling call. Under this plan for augmentation, when the controlling call in the Clear Creek or South Platte River Basin is senior to November 27, 2013, Westminster will release augmentation water from any combination of the sources identified above on a monthly basis, or more frequently as required by the Division Engineer. Westminster will install such measuring devices and perform and report such accounting as is needed to verify depletions and replacement as reasonably required by the Division Engineer for operation of the Augmentation Plan. Westminster shall have no obligation to replace depletions when there is no controlling call on Clear Creek or the South Platte River basin, or said controlling call

Westminster will install such measuring devices and perform and report such accounting as is needed to verify depletions and replacement as reasonably required by the Division Engineer for operation of the Augmentation Plan. Westminster shall have no obligation to replace depletions when there is no controlling call on Clear Creek or the South Platte River basin, or said controlling call is junior to November 27, 2013. A map indicating the general locations of the structures involved in this application is attached as Exhibit A. 5.

Westminster is also the owner of the Kershaw Pipeline and Jim Baker Reservoir. WHEREFORE, Westminster respectfully requests the Court to enter a judgment and decree: A. Granting the relief requested in this Application; B. Adjudicating a junior water right for Little Dry Creek Pond; and, C. Specifically determining pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-92-305(8) that the plan for augmentation adequately describes the depletions from the Applicant’s use or proposed use of water associated with the Little Dry Creek Pond, in quantity and time, the amount and timing of augmentation water that will be provided by the Applicant, and that the plan will prevent injury to the owners of or persons entitled to use water under a vested water right or a decreed conditional water right.
