January to bring Clarkson closureHospital expansion shuts down block permanentlyBy Tom [email protected]
Street closure notices will likely go up Jan. 6, and the 3400 block of South Clarkson Street is proposed to be closed to through traffic by Jan. 21.
Craig Hospital requested the closure for its $90 million remodeling and expansion plans, so the ground can be leveled and the east and west buildings can be connected.
Part of the project will increase patient space. The additional space will only add a few beds and is being done primarily so all patients will be in private rooms, instead of two or three to a room. Following meetings and a public hearing where concerns were raised about the proposal, the city council approved the street closure.
Rick Kahm, public works director, ex-plained the proposed timeline at the Dec. 3 city council study session.
He said plans call for a temporary traffic turnaround to be built on Clarkson south of the Craig bridges over the street. The turn-around is scheduled to be completed and construction safety fencing erected around the north end of Clarkson by Feb. 11.
Demolition for work on the north addi-tion is scheduled to begin Feb. 18 and the remodeling and expansion project is sched-uled to begin March 4.
Kahm said Craig is anxious to get the project started. He said issues that must be addressed prior to the closure include get-ting signs in place, rerouting the Art Shuttle and establishing routes vehicle routes to the Swedish Medical Center emergency room.
Kahm said plans are to make the portion of Old Hampden Avenue between Clarkson and Logan a hospital zone with a 20 mph limit. He said the new speed limit signs will be installed and there will be pedestrian-triggered flashing lights at all the hospital zone intersections. The city also wants to install radar signs informing drivers of their speed, but the cost is about $20,000 and the city is working with Craig and Swedish, seeking assistance in covering the cost.
About 7,000 feet of fiber optic cable for city traffic cameras will be installed and the cable order could take four to six weeks to be delivered.
The city and hospital representatives also are working on rerouting the Art Shuttle. The proposal is for the eastbound shuttle to go north on Logan then east on Girard, where it will join the existing route at Clarkson and Girard.
Tentatively, the stop on Hampden be-tween Pennsylvania and Pearl will be moved to the southwest corner of Girard and Pennsylvania. Also, the Clarkson stop will be moved to the southwest corner of Clarkson and Girard. Kahm said Craig Hospital will pay for moving the stops and printing new route maps. Also, there will be advance notices of the changes posted on the shuttle buses and at the affected stops.
Kahm said plans are to have everything done except the speed limit signs installed before Clarkson is closed.
Council Member Jill Wilson said she was excited about the project, but she wanted to make sure the promise was kept to monitor traffic, with mitigating steps taken if there is increased traffic on streets in the neighbor-hoods surrounding the project.
Crowd joins Santa for breakfastEnglewood event includes pancakes, visit with St. NickBy Tom [email protected]
Red and white seemed to be the favor-ite colors Dec. 8 as families gathered at the Malley Senior Recreation Center to have a pancake breakfast and take children to see Santa.
Dozens of young volunteers wearing Santa hats made sure there were place set-tings, butter and syrup at every seat and quickly moved in to clear the space when a family left. Older volunteer were on hand to help people get their drinks, while in the kitchen the cooks were kept busy flipping hot cakes and preparing the scrambled eggs
and ham to quickly serve families in order to keep the line moving.
The holiday spirit was reflected in the songs on the public address system and in the music played by the members of the Colorado Flute Association.
At the tables, parents urged their chil-dren to eat, but most children were less interested in food and more interested in heading down the hall to visit with Santa.
“This is a great event,” Sandra Pollock said as she and her daughter waited to see Santa. “My daughter takes dance classes at the recreation center and I read about this event. I’m so glad we came. Alice is 5 and wanted to see Santa, and this is so much better than fighting the crowds at the mall.”
The family got a number as they checked in at the gym where Santa and his helpers were set up. There were Christmas videos on a big screen, as well as the opportunity to make a green and red paper chain or col-or a picture, to keep the children busy until
it was time to get in line to visit Santa.Santa greeted each child and posed for
a picture that was printed and given to the child’s parents.
Sometimes he posed with two or three children. But each child had a chance to talk to Santa.
On the way off the platform they re-ceived a gift bag with a toy, candy cane and some other gifts.
Sarah Hopkins, 7, held tightly to her sister Tina’s hand as they left after seeing Santa.
“It was fun,” the Sheridan girl said. “Mom brought us this morning and she’s excited because this is Tina’s first visit to Santa. She wouldn’t get on his lap unless I held her hand. But she told Santa what she wanted and so did I. Santa was really nice and we had a good time. Tina was too excited to eat when we came in so we came to see Santa first. I don’t know about her but I am hungry and ready to eat.”
Rebekah Lambert hands her wish list to Santa before getting on his knee during the Dec. 8 Breakfast with Santa event at Malley Senior Recreation Center. The annual event drew a crowd for pancakes and to meet the jolly old elf. Photo by Tom Munds
Middle school renovation explainedAlternative facility will relocate into site on ChenangoBy Tom [email protected]
Plans for transforming Englewood Mid-dle School into the new campus for Colo-rado’s Finest Alternative High School were outlined at a Dec. 4 meeting for middle school neighbors.
The renovation is part of the major school district project that includes creat-ing a seventh- through 12th-grade campus on the Englewood High School site. When that project is completed in 2014, Engle-wood Middle School students will move into the new campus and Colorado’s Finest Alternative High School will relocate to the remodeled middle school building at 300 W. Chenango Ave.
Creating the new campus will use $40 million from in voter-approved bonds. The middle school project will use $8 million in bond money as matching funds for a state

PROUD WINNER OF THE 2012 DENVER BURGER BATTLE POEPLE’S CHOICE AWARD
Some crimes do harm to us all Kimber Schneider, 42, mother of two,
can close her eyes and still see his face, the brown hair, the jean jacket.
Gene Martin. Last seen in August 1984 while delivering newspapers in Des Moines. Five days shy of his 14th birthday, he disappeared, never to be found. He rode the same school bus as Schneider, then in middle school.
“It has shaped how far I let my kids go out of my bubble,” she said. “And I didn’t think it would.”
But how could it not.One moment, a child is here, walking
to school, playing in the park, carefree, believer of good. The next instant: Van-ished. Innocence lost. Trust — in the world — broken.
For the family and friends left behind, the horror never ends. And in today’s world, it implants terror in the hearts and minds of parents everywhere.
As parents, where do we draw the line between fear and faith, protectiveness and independence? Where do we go when a child, like little Jessica Ridgeway, is ab-ducted on her way to school, then killed in a most terrible way?
We do what parents have always done. We grieve, because we can almost imagine what that loss would feel like. We worry, because what if it happened to our child? We reassess parenting methods and teach vigilance better than before. And, we try to remind ourselves that good is more abun-dant than evil.
Fear cannot win.The black-and-white clarity of statistical
data also helps balance the tilting anxiety between possibility and probability.
Consider that the probability of a child being abducted by a stranger is about one in 650,000, slightly less than the odds
of dying by fi reworks discharge, said Dr. Kim Gorgens, a clinical psychologist at the University of Denver who teaches the psychology of criminal behavior. The num-bers come from federal justice and health studies.
“Statistically speaking, kids are fairly safe, all things considered,” said Gorgens, who has an 11-year-old son. “The differ-ence is the availability of media and infor-mation overload about safety risks.”
Google news alerts on the Internet. Ra-dio. TV. Text-message updates on phones. Facebook posts. The constant stream of news is inescapable when something bad happens today. The immediacy, in cases such as Jessica’s, overwhelmingly creates a sense that evil lurks in the corners and, even, wide-open spaces of communities we suddenly no longer consider safe.
Bad things have always happened.My neighbor remembers the sexual as-
sault of a classmate during his high school years in California more than 20 years ago. Schneider talks of another child kidnap-ping that happened in her husband’s home state of Minnesota in the 1980s. But instan-taneous cross-country knowledge didn’t exist then to cast its fearful net over us.
My mother, who is 79, remembers only one child abduction incident being talked about during her youth — of famous
aviator Charles Lindbergh’s baby in 1932, which actually occurred the year before she was born.
“Bad things happened,” she said. “Be-fore, we didn’t know of them.”
She does, however, add a caveat: The world today is a less friendly place, a more suspicious one in which scarier incidents occur more frequently than the world in which she grew up, or the world in which she raised her three kids.
Back then, the culture was different, less brutal violence in movies and video games. Boundaries were narrower and more respected; people paid attention to each other more, relied on each other more.
My mother could call the telephone operator to fi nd out where I had wandered as I played with friends. “She’s over at the Lopez’s house,” the operator would tell her. The grapevine constantly chattered and watched.
Now we have Neighborhood Watches, which are highly successful crime preven-tion programs, according to Gorgens. They require an investment by neighbors to look out for one another, to care beyond their fences, to believe that what happens to someone else is their business, too.
If we operated in such a fashion all the time, could we keep our children safer?
A positive outcome, if it can be called that, of Jessica’s tragedy was a re-examina-tion of family safety policies.
“It’s like a call to arms for parents,” Gorgens said. “Every parent evaluates their own procedures.”
The collateral damage, as Gorgens de-scribed it — a bruised perception of safety, the traumatic anguish — was more diffi cult to manage.
For many, a new reality exists.Kimber Schneider still sees Gene
Martin’s face. When her kids complain they can’t walk somewhere alone, she is unyielding: “You have to be with someone. There are bad people in the world who do bad things and that’s why mommy is really careful about where you are. … People will take you. People take kids all the time and don’t think that just because you live where you live that it’s not going to happen, be-cause it can happen anywhere.”
They take her warning in stride, she said. Just a matter-of-fact part of life.
Like our parents before us, we tell our children not to talk to strangers. We teach them how to cross a street. But we have added to the precautionary list: Always walk with a buddy, even to a restaurant bathroom. Call as soon as you get to your destination, even if it’s just around the cor-ner. Park in well-lit areas, even if the area is crowded. Learn self-defense, even if you think you’ll never need it.
We do our best to prepare them to know how to be safe. Because, as my mother said, one day, “like all good parents, you have to let go.”
Gorgens offers this to think about: “When you have a quiet moment and your fear starts to unravel you, consider what’s the likelihood I’m going to face that prob-lem? Have I done everything possible to protect myself?”
That’s all, really, that we can do.That, and continue to believe in good-
ness — and make it our business to look out for one another.
Especially the children.

Freedom Service Dogs graduates a dozen Animals help with therapy, dealing with disabilities By Tom Munds [email protected]
Excited barks joined with applause as diplomas were presented to owners and a dozen of their furry friends at the Dec. 8 Freedom Ser-vice Dogs graduation cer-emonies.
Freedom Service Dogs is a nonprofi t organization in Englewood that rescues dogs from shelters and trains the animals to assist individuals with disabili-ties. Training is customized for each client, and typi-cal services the dog can do include tasks like open-ing doors and turning on lights. Dogs also are trained to become companions for people with emotional dis-abilities.
The Dec. 8 graduation included four traditional clients, three veterans and fi ve University of Denver students in the graduate so-cial work program who will be in programs providing dog-assisted therapy.
Michael Holtvluwer, a Centennial resident, gradu-ated with his fi rst service dog named Fender.
Holtvluwer is in a wheel-chair as a result of dystonia, a neurological disorder in which the brain sends un-wanted signals to muscles causing movements or twitches.
“I am amazed at all the thing Fender can do for me,” he said. “He helps me with stability and picks up things for me. Fender goes
with me everywhere I go and even takes a bath with me.”
His dad Eddie said Fend-er is a big help.
“Fender is really amaz-ing,” he said. “He even pushed the handicapped panel to open doors so I can push the wheelchair through. Fender is help-ing Michael come out of his shell and Michael even
feeds him now. Having Fender makes me feel more comfortable when I am not with him.”
A short distance away, Donna Duran talked about her new dog, Dazzle.
“My service dog got too old and Dazzle is my re-placement dog,” the Little-ton resident said. “Dazzle is a great companion and does a lot of things for me.
For example, Dazzle re-trieves things I drop when I am in the wheelchair, and goes and gets my son if I need help.”
The other graduate in a wheelchair was Lakewood resident Beth Morrissey.
“Drake is my third ser-vice dog and he is wonder-ful,” she said. “He gives me confi dence in myself, gives me freedom and indepen-dence and helps me enjoy my life.”
Drake’s former owner, Nancy Hamilton, attended the graduation.
“I am a therapist and I thought maybe I could train him as a therapy dog,” Hamilton said. “Drake was a good dog that had a lot of bad ideas and, as I am a sin-gle mom, I didn’t have the time to train him, so I am so glad he wound up here and is helping Beth.”
Samantha Roberts and her therapy dog Hattie were among the fi ve University of Denver students taking part in the graduation.
“My undergraduate de-gree was in psychology and then I found out and en-rolled in the two-year DU animal assisted therapy program,” She said. “I love animals, I want to help peo-ple and this seemed like a way I could have the best of both worlds.”
She said she isn’t sure what she will eventually do, but she is an intern in a Uni-versity of Colorado program helping people on proba-tion or parole dealing with substance abuse, and the therapy dog is a great bene-fi t working with the clients.
“I am not sure I’ll con-tinue in this area,” Roberts said. “But I like it because I see the impact this program can have on individuals and families.”

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS
Look local for holiday shoppingAs we reach the midway point in the
holiday shopping season, halfway between Thansgiving and Christmas, we encourage our readers to shop local as they look for those just-right gifts.
For all the hype surrounding Black Fri-day, it’s not the biggest shopping day of the year. It consistently ranks behind the four days that make up the two weekends preceding Christmas — in other words, the point where we are now.
During the late part of the year — with all its holidays — there is information aplenty about local businesses and products in our newspapers.
Stories throughout the year cover the lo-
cal hard-working businesses that serve so many and give back in numerous ways — supporting activities at schools and com-munity organizations — and often contrib-ute in the immeasurable ways that occur when local business owners and their em-ployees live in our communities.
Of course we know online shopping edg-es up a few percentage points each year. But even there we encourage our readers who
enjoy online shopping to choose the web-sites featured by our local businesses.
The Colorado Retail Council has fore-cast a 2.9 percent increase in holiday shop-ping projections, while the National Retail Federation predicts spending around the country will rise 4.1 percent from last year. We hope the season plays out well, and the economy edges upward.
And buying local not only fuels busi-nesses, it improves the job market.
There, too, the state is gaining traction. According to the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment, nonfarm payroll jobs increased 8,600 from September to Oc-tober to 2,310,100 jobs.
Private sector payroll jobs increased 8,500 and government increased 100. Look-ing back a year, the current 7.9 unemploy-ment rate has declined two-tenths of a per-centage point from 8.1 percent in October 2011.
Colorado is faring well in statistics like these compared to many other states. So it is a good time to show your pride. As you make holiday purchases — as well as every-day or durable-goods purchases — we en-courage you to take time and look for your consumer needs to be met by your neigh-bors.
Supporting local businesses makes our communities stronger.
OUR VIEW
A Phillies ad over four strangersI was told recently to count my blessings.
“Count your blessings instead of complain-ing about things that can’t be changed for a change.” I wondered if they were talking to me. I am Mr. Sunshine.
I usually write my columns after a bowl of coffee and a few chapters of Kafka, so it’s little wonder that I have a sunny disposi-tion about things I read in the paper, like the new gun dorm at CU (there have been zero applications), and assorted kidnap-pings nationally, and the frenzy among my countrymen for electronic Christmas gifts.
I was voted “Most Likely to Succeed” by the senior class. I didn’t quite make it. I had to turn in my plaque. John S. became presi-dent of Holiday Inns of North America. I was the head coach of a coed softball team. That’s about it.
But there are blessings all over the place. I don’t have to look very far. I can start by looking at the floor. No, it’s not the carpet or hardwood flooring. It’s a heartbeat.
I was across the street the other morn-ing, when Smitty was tied up in the front yard. He was examining our rabbit.
The same rabbit is here every day. I think it is the same one. I wish there were some humane way of tagging him. Maybe he could carry a pocket watch.
I looked across the street at Smitty and thought that he looked exactly like a red mouse.
He’s an expensive red mouse. Thou-sands of dollars for medical procedures and boarding and cheese cubes. Worth it.
This home is a blessing. I have never been down and out, but I have lived in apartments in sad places. I lived in an apartment across the street from the Saw-telle Veterans Home in southern California. Back then it was a gritty area, with some un-fortunate stories.
There was a self-immolation. We don’t have many self-immolations in Highlands Ranch.
Backlighted bare trees are blessings. You know about backlighting, don’t you? It turns things into silhouettes, and makes them in-teresting even if they’re not.
Put your worst uncle in front of a setting sun and take a picture. Your worst uncle will look like Lawrence of Arabia instead of just Lawrence.
Black and white are blessings: black and white films, photographs, and old televi-
sion programs. Robert Motherwell’s paint-ings. Ink (like this) on newsprint. BOOKS. Genuine books. Library books. Bookstore books. Paperback and hardcover. Kindle? No siree.
Blessings? I went back to Michigan to visit my family right before my final semes-ter of college.
Dad and I had a heart to heart about my future and then he asked me what they could get me for graduation.
I just sat there and looked at him. Even-tually I composed myself and said, “Get me? Dad, you and mom have already given it to me.”
They put me through schools in four states. Every time we moved they made sure I would be educated.
Thanks to them I was able to write this sentence.
I know the difference between right and wrong, that’s a blessing. Between good and evil. And between ice cream and ice milk.
I am leaving a few things out, for the sake of discretion, but read my mind and that will take care of it.
Here are some odd ones: Chinese yel-low Number Two pencils. Potatoes. Vespas. Hands. Tears. Opinions. Ideas. Maps. Ideas as maps. Silence. Properly inflated tires. One size does not fit all. Medical break-throughs.
Those sugar cubes we were given in grade school. My dentist. My accountant. They are not the same person. J. A. M.
When I am alone with Edward Hopper’s “Nighthawks” in the Art Institute of Chicago I feel like everything I have seen and done and felt has made it possible for me to ap-preciate the “human aquarium” with a Phil-lies ad over four familiar strangers.

Don’t be shy about spreading good wordWho do you know? I mean who do you
know that you would feel really good about recommending or providing a referral for?
What if I asked it a different way? What if the question was this, who knows you and who would feel really good about giving you a referral or recommending you as a friend, or for a job, or to join a committee?
You see, networking happens all the time, whether we do it consciously, uncon-sciously, or subconsciously, we have an op-portunity to participate at many levels.
I can share with you that many years ago, when I had my first big opportunity to join a company, the difference maker between why I was hired and beat out the other few finalists was because of the letters of rec-ommendation that were sent on my behalf. They were so strong that the hiring man-ager almost couldn’t believe it. But after following up and speaking directly to the people who endorsed me, the hiring man-ager became convinced that I was the right candidate and offered me the position.
Facebook and LinkedIn have helped me to reconnect with so many people. Some folks that I grew up with and went to school with, others that I served with in the mili-tary, and many people that I have worked with or had an opportunity to know profes-sionally. Social media is awesome in that way, connecting us with people from our past as well as our present.
But even without the help of such tech-nology, we still have our immediate circle of friends, family, co-workers and associ-ates that help us and who we should be willing to help as much as we possibly can. Just think of all of the wrapping paper, Girl Scout cookies, popcorn or gift cards you have purchased from a neighbors child. If you are like me, you just can’t say “no.”
If we took this same concept just one or two steps further, we should be asking ourselves things like, “If I am going to buy a car I will buy it from that guy I went to high school with who is now selling cars.” Or “If my spouse and I are going to dinner,
why wouldn’t I go to that restaurant that my neighbors own and maybe where my other friend’s daughter is a server?”
I am not sure about you, but I love refer-ring people, connecting people or business-es, and making recommendations or refer-ring anyone and everyone I know to people and companies that I can trust and who I know will deliver a better than good result. Many of my friends and family members work for big corporations, and I am grateful for the work that they do and all the people that they serve. But I must share with you that my heart goes out to the entrepreneur or small business owner and their staff.
One day, and maybe one day soon, you will find yourself in a position to recom-mend someone, refer people to a business, or network with folks where you can help connect the dots between two people or businesses. And you may just even find that when you are the consumer, when you do everything you possibly can to shop where your friends and neighbors are trying so hard to build their business, that you will not only be helping them, but you will truly be enriching your own life as well.
I would love to hear all about your thoughts at [email protected] be-cause when we all do lock arms and help one another, it really will be a better than good week.

Clyta M. HollandJanuary 5, 1922 ~ November 19, 2012
Clyta M. Lincoln Holland passed away peacefully sur-rounded by loved ones at 3 a.m. on Monday November 19, 2012.
Although she moved to Eureka Springs, Arkansas in 2000 to be closer to her three children and their families, she never lost her love for Colorado.
Clyta was born at home on Delaware street, January 5th, 1922 in downtown Den-ver and later moved to the same street in Englewood where she resided until her graduation from Englewood High School class of 1940.
She met and married her one true love, Air Force ca-det John K. Holland on Oc-tober 10, 1942 in Midland, Texas.
After the war they re-turned to Colorado and
raised their three children: Janice, Ken and Dawn.
John preceded Clyta in death in 1971. Upon his passing, Clyta became a �o-ral designer until her retire-ment.
She enjoyed the company of many of her fellow class-mates over the years and had an avid interest in travel and reading.
After moving to Arkansas, she joined the Red Hat Soci-ety, an organization for active senior women. She recently returned from a reunion with her sister-in- law and family in North Carolina.
Upon her return, she was diagnosed with a inoperable heart condition. Her infec-tious smile and gentle spirit will be greatly missed by all those lucky enough to have known her.
Volunteers bring Christmas cheer to kidsJourney Church project aids Bishop Elementary familiesBy Tom [email protected]
The hum of conversation and occasional laughter re-placed the normal Saturday stillness at Bishop Elemen-tary School on Dec. 8 as par-ents came to get presents for their children from the Christmas Store.
This is the second year Journey Church has spon-sored and staffed the Christmas Store to try to help about 140 families pro-vide nice presents for their children.
The program is simple. Parents sign up and the church provides a choice of gifts ranging from coats and boots to dolls and electron-ic games.
Although the retail cost of each gift ranges from $20 to $50, parents select two gifts for each child for a fee of $5 per gift.
“This project is awe-some and it is a huge help for our family. It is amazing these people would do this for people they don’t even know,” Nicole Breese said. “We live in Englewood, we have five children, three of them going to school here at Bishop. I work full time and go to school full time. My husband did work full time but is unemployed right now recovering from knee surgery. This store will make a much nicer Christ-
mas for our children and for us.”
Cory Bragg, mission pas-tor, said the relationship between Journey Church, located in Centennial, and Bishop Elementary School started when the lead pas-tor was riding a bus on a cold day and asked a Bish-op student why he wasn’t wearing a jacket.
The boy said the family only had one coat and to-day was his brother’s turn to wear it.
“We put together a coat drive for Bishop,” he said. “After we visited Bishop, we wanted to do more to help those families. Members of our congregation had helped out with a Christ-mas Store downtown and we agreed we should do a
store for the Bishop families last year. It was a big success as we served about 90 fami-lies. So we are doing it again this year and we are pleased that about 140 families have signed up.”
This year, project plan-ning began in September, as organizers raised about $20,000 to buy the estimat-ed 600 gifts needed for the project.
The Christmas Store was set up at Bishop on Dec. 8. Volunteers from the church greeted families as they ar-rived at the school. There were volunteers to help them sign in and volunteers to help the parents shop for gifts.
Volunteer Ronda Ver-naza said she was glad to be part of the project as
she waited to help a family shop.
“I grew up in a poor fam-ily and understand the cir-cumstances facing some of these parents,” the High-land Ranch resident said.
“I think this is an awe-some program helping parents get nice gifts for their children for a very low cost. My reward is see-ing the smiles on the faces of the parents as they find that special gift for one of their children. It makes me want to be at that home on Christmas to see the faces of the children as they open the packages.”
The organizers also made sure there were vol-unteers who spoke Spanish to help parents who might struggle with English.

Youthful musicians show off their talentsFi�h-, sixth-graders take part in voluntary orchestra classesBy Tom [email protected]
Students in Englewood’s new volun-tary elementary school music classes per-formed in front of a crowd for the first time at their Dec. 6 concert.
The day after the concert, the musicians met with Scott Jensen, the middle school music director who teaches the class, to evaluate what they had done and to talk about what the future will bring.
“You students have been with me for two and a half months and you have really come a long way,” said Jensen. “Some of you were a bit nervous at the concert, but everyone settled down and really did a good job.”
He thanked the students for their efforts and told them they would immediately be-gin learning something new as they begin preparation for the concert they will pres-ent in May.
The program is new this year, offering fifth- and sixth-graders the opportunity to attend the after-school program to learn to play orchestra instruments. The students are bused from their elementary school to the middle school for classes and, when the classes are completed, the students are bused back to their home school.
“Each week, I meet with students play-ing woodwinds on Tuesday, percussion-ists come to class on Wednesday and those playing in the brass section are with me on Thursday,” Jensen said. “Then, on Fridays, I meet with all the musicians.”
He said the classes present the funda-mentals and all the students are urged to practice daily. All students have instru-ments. Some have their own instruments while others are provided by the school.
Student Ethan Urbina said he joined the orchestra because he loves music and it is part of his personality
“I came to the classes because I wanted to see what it was like to play an instru-ment,” he said.
“I initially thought I would like to play the flute but decided against it after trying it. I saw the clarinet, I tried it, liked it and now this is my instrument.”
He said he was nervous when he got up on the stage for the Dec. 6 concert, but he did his best to play the right notes and keep a smile on his face.
Classmate Megan Trail said she joined the orchestra because she wanted to try do-ing something new and different.
“I chose to play the trumpet because dad played the trumpet,” she said. “It was harder to learn than I thought it would be. I think the hardest thing was learning how to properly position you lips on the mouth-piece.”
She, too, said she was a little nervous as she took the stage for the concert, but when the music started, the nervousness went away. She said she has fun with the trumpet and plans to stay with the orchestra.
Damien Land joined the orchestra and decided to play the drums.
“I like drumming on things so I guess it was natural for me to be a drummer,” he said.
“Learning to play the drums is a little harder than I expected. It was a lot more fun when we moved from doing drills to actu-ally playing a song. I like the orchestra and I want to continue to take the classes.”

Fire safety poster contest winners honoredFire chief, mayor present certificates to studentsBy Tom [email protected]
Englewood City Council held a ceremo-ny during the Dec. 3 meeting to honor the five school classes selected as winners in the annual Fire Prevention and Safety Week Poster Contest.
Friends and family filled most of the available seats in the council chambers for the awards.
After the awards, the council took a short recess for the reception held in the commu-nity room, where there were refreshments and where all the winning posters were dis-played on the walls.
For the ceremony, Mike Pattarozzi, fire chief, talked about the contest. He said the fire department staff took an active part in
the project.There also was active student involve-
ment and about 30 entries were submitted.The judges had the difficult task of se-
lecting a winner for each grade, kindergar-ten through fifth grade.
Pattarozzi announced each winning class. Mayor Randy Penn presented the teacher and student a certificate.
This year’s winners were:• Kindergarten: Art teacher Shonda Kas-
par’s class at St. Louis Catholic School.• First grade: Kaspar’s class at St. Louis
Catholic School.• Second grade: Janet Niswonger’s class
at All Souls Catholic School.• Third grade: Regina Holms’ class at All
Souls Catholic School.• Fourth grade: Cari Prado’s class at All
Souls Catholic School.• Fifth grade: Amy DeGrood’s and Angela
DeMunck’s classes at Bishop Elementary School.

Children’s Hospital prepares to ‘top out’By Ryan [email protected]
On target to open in December 2013, Children’s Hospital Colorado’s South Cam-pus is preparing for a ceremonial moment on Dec. 17 — and the community is invited.
The raising of the topping-out beam of the Highlands Ranch hospital will bring to-gether hospital dignitaries, patients, com-munity leaders and staff, and according to Children’s Colorado Vice President Suzy Jaeger, there will be a little fun too.
“We let the kids sit behind the cranes and help the construction workers get it up to the top of the building structure,” she said. “It’s very much a Children’s tradition. It really connects all the dots and makes you understand why this kind of stuff is really important. It’s really symbolic of the importance of this community.”
In preparing the beam, patients, hospi-tal staff members and construction workers gathered this past week at outpatient clin-ics throughout the south metro area, as well as at Hometown Holidays Friday night in Highlands Ranch, to sign the beam.
One of those signing the beam at Little-ton’s Outpatient Specialty and Therapy Care Clinic Dec. 6 was Jordan Corray and his children Capri, 8, and Logan, 5, both of whom have been patients at Children’s.
“We’re very excited to have Children’s closer to home,” said Corray, who as super-intendent for Sturgeon Electric has done a lot of work for Children’s, including build-ing the catheterization lab where Capri wound up at the Aurora campus. “We know we get the best care there. Having it close to home is going to be a real convenience.”
The south campus, which broke ground May 23 in Highlands Ranch, will offer in-patient care, a wide range of outpatient services, a 22-room urgent care, a sports medicine program, four operating rooms, numerous laboratories, imaging and diag-nostics. Keeping with the concept of Chil-dren’s it will also have play areas, short-term sibling care, a family hospitality area,
and a healing garden.The facility, which will be 175,000 square
feet when it is complete, is expected to em-ploy 300 people. The 125 employees who currently work at the four existing south-metro satellite clinics in Littleton and Cen-tennial will all be relocated to the south campus, and Children’s plans to hire an ad-ditional 175 employees.
According to Derek Breier, project man-ager of Centennial’s Saunders Construction, which is heading the project, the exterior of the building is anticipated to be complete in April, and then it should take another six months to finalize the interior. From there, it will take Children’s two months to have everything prepared to open.
“We can hardly wait,” Jaeger said. “If we could open up tomorrow we certainly would. It’s been a long time coming and we’re very anxious to get things up and go-ing.”
The special topping-out ceremony is at the construction site of the new facility. It will take place from 3:30-4:30 p.m. Dec. 17 at 1811 Plaza Drive, Highlands Ranch.

Open space could get open wallet About $500,000 likely to come from joint venture By Jennifer Smith [email protected]
Three recently acquired open-space parcels are set to get about $500,000 in makeovers, according to early cost estimates.
“We’re taking property that had become piles of junk, that had turned into the back yard, and turning them into the front yard,” said Sue Rosser, South Suburban Parks and Recreation District board member.
On Dec. 4, Littleton City Council and the SSPRD board both unani-mously approved a master plan for Lee Gulch Overlook, Oxbow Point and Murray Open Space, all of which lie between Santa Fe Drive and the South Platte River.
“We wanted to design a visitor ex-perience that would connect people to nature,” said Emily Patterson of the Trust for Public Lands.
Patterson sees places where fami-lies can relax, walk trails and enjoy nature.
She pictures small activity centers
such as log balance beams, natural-art stations and educational kiosks dotting the landscape.
Patterson’s plan for Oxbow Point, so named for its shape, is to transform it into a serene and passive oasis on the river. Tucked between Lowe’s and FedEx, it’s the smallest of the three but still will need about $15,000 in resto-ration. It formerly served as parking and storage for a construction com-pany.
Lee Gulch Overlook, just south of Denver Seminary, is in the best shape. It has a pond and a grove of cotton-
woods Patterson says is like a “space within a space.”
The plan calls for $110,000 in im-provements.
Murray Open Space will be the costliest project at $375,000. It has a well that could be used to water a proposed tree nursery, said Patterson, and a bridge will connect it to Big Dry Creek.
Littleton Mayor Debbie Brink-man praised the South Platte Working Group, of which she is a member, for its work on the projects thus far.
“The properties now are in a thou-sand times better shape than when we purchased them,” she said. “They’ve become amenities to the community, and that’s great. What I love is that the committee was pretty loud and clear about passive recreation and keeping it natural.”
She and SSPRD board chair John Ostermiller both voiced concern about one aspect of the proposal — allowing overnight camping and a temporary fi re pit at the Murray site.
“I’m not a fan of overnight permit-ting of any type,” said Brinkman.
Dave Lorenz, executive director of South Suburban Parks and Recreation District, has said the restorations will likely be funded through a joint ven-ture among various entities, as were the purchases.

The business of being SantaPark Meadows’ holiday star is entrepreneur off stageBy Jane [email protected]
In his hometown of Sterling, to his 6-year-old granddaughter and the children who share with him their most heartfelt desires at Park Meadows shopping center, Larry Propp has but one name: Santa.
To the 60 Santas who work for him, he’s the boss.
With his seven years of mall experience,
naturally white beard and a love of chil-dren that inspires their confidence, Propp is a considered a premier Santa. Four other Santas work as his backups.
While he won’t reveal his specific com-pensation, the typical Santa contract for six weeks of work at a peak venue like Park Meadows includes a $10,000 to $15,000 sal-ary, lodging, a meal package and often, car rental and airfare.
“We pay a lot for our Santas,” said Pame-la Schenck-Kelly, Park Meadows’ manager.
“But you can tell the difference between someone who loves what they do and someone who doesn’t. We bring the best Santa we can possibly bring.”
In addition to working one of the most coveted venues in the industry, Propp runs a Santa agency. He selects, trains and helps place Santas in malls and other venues na-tionwide. Instruction and administration comes naturally to Propp, who retired 10 years ago from a career as a community col-lege administrator.
The Santa industry is competitive, and Propp is highly selective about who’s al-lowed to join his agency.
“You have to be a natural-bearded San-ta,” he said.
Hair color doesn’t matter; any beard can be made white, he said. But thickness does. Propp wants to see a full, round beard that covers the skin under the mouth — an area in which some men have trouble growing hair — and a generous mustache. Eyes are preferably blue, and while even Propp pads his figure for the holidays, a good Santa has a solid build.
The other qualities are harder to put into words.
“I’m really looking for a personality, a sense of humor, someone who’s fun to be around,” Propp said. “A jolly guy is what I’m looking for.”
All Santas also must undergo a federal background check and drug test.
Those who make the cut receive a Santa manual, instructional DVDs and personal training from Propp that includes sugges-tions on packing for the road, hair prepara-tion and posing for pictures.
The most important bit of advice? “Do not break character,” Propp said. “You are Santa.”
He shares with them knowledge gleaned over the years, including the proper ap-proach to take with children of varying ages.
Children between the ages of 1 and 2 are the most challenging, he said.
“Once they get to 2, about two-and-a-half, they will just accept you for who you are and usually will have a very long wish list,” Propp said. “That goes good until about 7 or 8; then they start shying away. When they’re in high school, the girls will start wandering back in. At that time, their wish list is, `I want Justin Bieber,’ or per-fume.”
Like many businesses that involve cus-tomer service, Propp is always in the mar-ket for bilingual employees.
“There’s a shortage of Santas,” he said. “If I had a Santa today that spoke Spanish, he’d have a job tomorrow.”

Larry Propp uses some of his strategies to get a picture with 2-year-old Joaquin Diaz, who was not too sure about the stranger with the white beard.
Meals go mile high
The Colorado Convention Center is stepping up its cuisine scene to incor-porate Colorado-produced eats into its concession stands.
Centerplate, the Convention Center’s official caterer, has brought in Colorado suppliers such as Polidori Sausage, Continental Sausage, produce from Blue Bear Farm (Centerplate’s 5,000-square-foot urban garden), along with grass-fed beef burgers from TAG chef/owner Troy Guard, to up its good-grub game to appeal to conventioneers who bring in millions of dollars annually to support our economy.
“We started this project in February by talking to talents in the country using local products and bringing authentic Colorado (cuisine) to the Convention Center,” said Laurence Rua, Center-plate’s regional vice president, during a press lunch last week.
All 14 of the Convention Center concessions are now sending a clear Colorado cuisine message to visitors.
“We’re designing food not just to eat, we’re designing food … to say welcome to Colorado, which is our theme of the redesign of the food program,” said John Sergi, Centerplate’s chief design officer.
QR codes on concession stand signs connect with the www.visitdenver.com website to take viewers to see other eat-eries around town where out-of-towners can dine.
Other chef consultants who were brought into the program’s redesign were Roberto Santibanez, a New York restaurateur and author of “Truly Mexi-can,” who created tortas and tacos using local ingredients, and Italian expert Bill Pustari from New Haven, Conn., who created pizzas using seasonal vegetables and locally sourced meats.
The public is invited to try out the new food program whenever the Con-vention Center is open.
Spoiler alertIf you haven’t watched your recorded
version of Wednesday’s “Top Chef” series on Bravo, don’t read this.
Denver’s Tyler Wiard, exec chef of El-way’s steakhouse, was told to “pack his knives and go” after he was paired up with CJ, one of the show’s past chef-tes-tants, after the reluctant duo bummed out the judges with a badly executed pork burger.
But don’t count Wiard down and out quite yet. Bravo continues the contest with “Last Chance Kitchen”, a web-only battle by the ousted chefs to win a place back on the big show.
On this week’s webcast, Wiard and CJ were again paired (to their amusement and chagrin) and challenged to make a dessert in competition against reigning “Last Chance Kitchen” champ Kuniko Yagi.
Chef/judge Tom Colicchio declared the pair the winners of the dessert challenge for their cherry fritters and hay (yes, you read that right) ice cream. So they will move on to face the next ousted “Top Chef” contender.

We’re inspired by classic Colorado architecture and passionate about cra smanship. Yet we geek out on the latest technology and sustainable building techniques. The thicker walls in our New Town Builders’ high performance homes allow for 60% more money-saving insula on than in a conven onal home, and our roof is 6 inches higher than a typical home, so we can get 2 ½ mes MORE insula on in the a c. This reduces heatloss, and more importantly, reduces your energy bill! Talk to us about building your (surprisingly affordable) energy-efficient new home.

Where were you born?Wheat Ridge, CO but I grew up in Littleton.
How long have you lived in the area?As long as I can remember.
What do you like most about it?I love the central location. It’s 20 minutes to the
mountains for hiking, camping, skiing – 20 min-utes to downtown for sporting events, live theater, fine dining. We really have access to the best of both worlds.
How long have you worked in Real Es-tate?
A total of 14 years as a receptionist in high school, an office manager and assistant through college, and as a Broker the last 7 years.
What is your specialty and what does that mean for the people you work with?
My specialty is the SW metro area market. Because I focus my business in one area, I have deep market knowledge of different subdivisions, schools, builders, changes coming to an area, etc. This enables me to arm my clients with as much knowledge as possible to make the best decisions to help them reach their goals.
What is the most challenging part of what you do?� ere are many moving parts in a real estate transaction
and many parties involved. Each person has to hold up their end of the bargain and do their job for a transaction to come together. It is very frustrating when one or several people within a transaction drop the ball.
What do you most enjoy doing when you’re not work-ing?
I love spending time with family, friends, & my rescue dog Reece. I adore traveling to new destinations. I am also passionate about yoga and meditation and practice each daily.
What is one tip you have for someone looking to sell a house?
Selling a home can be an emotional and stressful pro-cess. I remind my clients to focus on the end goal and not to stress about the little details (that’s my job!).
What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy a house?
Right now, financing is a big hurdle; you are a step ahead if you get your financing in order before begin-ning your hunt. That way when you find the right home you can jump on it.
What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate?
Too many crazy stories to choose from!

T here is no denying the profound impact that the recession has
had on the real estate indus-try. For the last several years, the real estate market went from booming to one char-acterized by homes sitting on the market for months on end. New home sales also have been conservative, and builders are cutting back on some o� erings that were once commonplace.
� e National Association for Realtors says that, de-spite � oundering sales, there are fewer foreclosed homes available now than in recent years. Distressed homes -- foreclosures and short sales sold at deep discounts -- ac-counted for 25 percent of homes sales in May of 2012. � at � gure is down from 28 percent in April and 31 per-cent in May of 2011.
While home sales have in-creased, money is still tight in the building industry and among home buyers. As such, instead of over-the-top fea-
tures in homes that were once becoming the norm, builders are now focusing on more value-conscious designs and o� erings. � e list of add-ons also has been reduced.
So what can buyers expect to live without when buying a newly constructed home? Here are a few of the com-mon features that are falling by the wayside.
Sunrooms: Once bringing in the outside had a strong, loy-al following, but now build-ers are focusing on home fea-tures that immediately add value and attract the buyer’s
eye. � erefore, they’re put-ting their resources into lin-en closets and laundry rooms while de-emphasizing sun-rooms.Extended ceiling heights: It can take a lot of energy to heat rooms with 15-foot ceil-ings. As a result, grandiose family rooms and two-story foyers are less attractive to buyers focused on saving money. Homeowners want spaces that are easier to heat and cool.Luxury bathrooms: Many private residence luxury bathrooms rival those found at popular 4-star hotels. But luxury bathrooms are being phased out in favor of less expensive, more practical options.Outdoor kitchens: Although entertaining at home is one way to keep budgets in check, some homeowners have real-ized they don’t need a com-plete backyard kitchen with a pizza oven and brick � re-place in order to host guests. According to a survey from
the National Association of Home Builders, outdoor kitchens are the second least-likely feature to be included in homes built in 2012.Media rooms: Individuals certainly love their gadgets, but many of these gadgets have become smaller and more portable. � at reduces the need for giant home the-aters and gaming spaces.
While certain features are disappearing, there are oth-ers that are growing more and more popular. Dual sinks in kitchens, walk-in closets, extra storage areas, and hidden charging stations for devices are likely to show up more and more in new home designs.
� e design of new homes is changing to be more bud-get-friendly and also repre-sent the changing priorities of home buyers. As a re-sult, today’s newly designed homes will likely look much di� erent from homes built just a few years ago. ❑

Best guess for worst guest ‘Man Who Came to Dinner’ at Denver theater By Sonya Ellingboe [email protected]
When George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart wrote their comedy “The Man Who Came to Dinner” — now playing at Denver’s John Hand Theater — in the 1930s, many in the audience would have recognized several barely disguised theatrical personalities who were often in the news.
They were looking for a vehicle for one of them, in fact — critic Alexander Woollcott — to make a stage appearance.
It seems that Woollcott had appeared at a weekend affair at Hart’s estate and “taken over the master bedroom, slept until noon, terrorized the staff and ate everything in sight …” according to the notes by directors Pat Payne and Bernie Cardell. When Hart told Kaufman about it, he commented that “it’s good he didn’t break his leg.”
The two looked at each other, the pro-verbial light bulb went on — and a play was born.
Woollcott, according to online accounts, thought the play was delightful, and while his schedule didn’t let him appear on Broadway when it opened in 1939, he did,
play the part in California later, with good friend Harpo Marx in the cast. (The Banjo part is certainly Harpo, while Beverly Car-leton is fashioned after playwright Noel Coward.)
A successful fi lm was made in 1942, star-ring Broadway lead Monty Wooley.
Lights go up on the 1930s living room of the well-off Stanley family of Mesalia, Ohio. It’s decorated for Christmas.
We hear a roar from the next room. Fa-mous radio critic Sheridan Whiteside was in town to lecture and accepted a dinner invitation to the Stanley home.
Alas, he fell on a patch of ice on the door-step and is in bed offstage, attended by a terrifi ed nurse and a ditsy doctor.
The phone rings; telegrams, mail and a gift of live penguins arrive.
The ensuing chaos makes Mr. Stanley
most unhappy, while his wife and kids are intrigued. And then, there’s Stanley’s weird sister Harriet, played by Littleton’s Linda Suttle — in a startling variety of costumes.
Dan Connell plays the Whiteside part well, with raised eyebrows, sneers and lots of tart one-liners.
He is a founding member and board chairman of Spotlight Theatre Company, which collaborates with Firehouse Theater Company to produce this American classic.
The two veteran directors have a strong cast and have choreographed all the farci-cal coming, goings and door-slammings very well.
Fine comic timing is essential to a suc-cessful production of this brand of play and it is planned really well, so the delivery man and Banjo don’t collide, nor do others, de-spite rapid movement much of the time in a small stage space.
This familiar play is dated, yes, but it’s a story that could happen to another family in another town today, so it plays as quite fresh.
It offers a nice light alternative for those who don’t seek Christmas-themed enter-tainment.

As the Spirit of the Holiday season begins its yearly conversion of things ordinary and trivial into things festive and reflective, The South Metro Chamber encourages all to consider those who spend the whole year in the service of others in need. The following non-profit groups are but a small sampling of organizations, both large and small who are always in need of support whether it be monetary, goods, services, or simply time. Take a moment and give thought as to how you might share a bit of yourself for the benefit of others not only this time of year, but throughout the year.
Project C.U.R.E. is a humanitarian relief organization that collects medical supplies and equipment and donates it to developing countries. Since 1987, Denver-based Project C.U.R.E. has delivered donated medical supplies and equipment to the most desperately ill and impoverished people living in more than 108 countries around the world. Last fiscal year, Project C.U.R.E. delivered 83 cargo containers valued at more than $26 million worth of medical relief to developing countries. PROJECT C.U.R.E. is currently the world’s largest distributor of donated medical supplies and equipment. www.projectcure.org
TLC Meals on Wheels is a private, non-profit organization dedicated to meeting the nutritional needs of our neighbors. A healthy, hot meal is delivered by caring volunteers to our clients’ door at lunch time Monday through Friday, for only $3 per day. Often one hot meal a day can make the
difference between a senior living independently and having to be institutionalized. In addition to the nutritional value of the meals, the social interaction with the volunteers delivering the meal and assuring that the senior is well encourages independence. www.mealsonwheelslittleton.org
Inter-Faith Community Services provides basic human services and enrichment programs to low-income people using community resources. Inter-Faith fosters self-sufficiency and respects the dignity of each client. Serving the people of Centennial, Englewood, Glendale, Highlands Ranch, Littleton, Lone Tree, Sheridan and unincorporated Arapahoe County, Inter-Faith is the largest non-governmental agency helping individuals, families and seniors who are struggling in the South Metro Denver area. Their goal this year is to “adopt” 550 families and 100 seniors for the holidays. www.ifcs.org
During the year, the Denver Rescue Mission provides shelter, food, clothing, education, Christian teaching, and work discipline to meet individuals at their physical and spiritual points of need. Operating five different facilities, each with a specific mission and clientele, the Denver Rescue Mission is the oldest full-service charity serving the needy in the Rocky Mountain Area. www.denverrescuemission.org
The Centennial Rotary Club works on many community service projects throughout the year both locally, nationally and internationally. Rotary
is a worldwide organization of business and professional leaders that provides humanitarian service, encourages high ethical standards in all vocations, and helps build goodwill and peace in the world. Approximately 1.2 million Rotarians belong to more than 31,000 Rotary clubs located in 166 countries. www.rotary.org
Developmental Pathways is a Colorado non-profit agency created to serve persons with developmental disabilities and their families. It was established in 1964 as a community-based alternative to institutional care. Since that time, Pathways has developed a broad array of services based on the principle that full inclusion and participation in community life is attainable for every individual with a developmental disability. www.developmentalpathways.org
Goodwill Industries believes in the power of work as a means to self-sufficiency and a transformational element
in the lives of the more than 19,000 people served each year. Goodwill promotes sustainable change throughout the community and supports a growing economy through a model that provides education, training and opportunities to help the working poor, people moving from welfare to work, and disabled adults attain true self-sufficiency. www.goodwilldenver.org
Alternatives Pregnancy Center exists to care for Denver-area women and men in pregnancy-related crises and offer them a meaningful alternative to abortion. The center seeks to meet emotional, physical and spiritual needs, enabling and encouraging women every day. Alternatives provides a “Baby Shower in a Bag” to new mothers. We are in need of new baby items including: pacifiers, baby wipes, sleepers and outfits (size 0-3 months), hooded bath towels and washcloths, bottles, baby toiletries, and grocery gift cards. Alternatives’ services are free and confidential with six metro area offices and a 24-Hour Helpline at 303.295.2288. www.youhavealternatives.org

‘Along the Platte’ along the alley Tucked-away Garage Studio exhibits paintings of cyclists By Sonya Ellingboe [email protected]
New fuschia-pink awnings make Littleton’s “Gal-lery in the Alley” easy to fi nd at 5784 S. Rapp St., tucked in behind the Old Mill Brewery and Grill.
The Garage Studio and Fine Art Gallery is the proper name, and it’s one of downtown Littleton’s hidden treasures.
It’s been about 11 years since the early me-chanic’s garage was transformed into a studio for a group of artists, plus a gallery to display their art.
The artists were initially drawn together through classes at the Curtis Street studio of longtime Little-ton artist Marie Ungemah, who suggested they were ready to launch on their own and should consider a gallery/studio. Former partner Katie Rohrbaugh lo-cated the space, and those creative types could see a different future for the weathered building, with a new coat of paint and other improvements.
Current gallery partners Don and Barb Simas-ko and Susan Rommel have invited Ungemah to exhibit her recent and colorful “Along the Platte” series of paintings of cyclists traveling the South Platte River trail. Her works will hang through De-cember, along with the partners’ recent paintings.
Art ranges from abstract to representational to impressionistic, according to Rommel.
Readers have probably seen the Garage Gallery artists’ works at the Café Terracotta in downtown Littleton, where they have provided a rotating ex-hibit over a number of years.
The three are at the studio most weekdays, Rom-mel said, and all welcome visitors.
“Hours are by appointment or by chance” is how they put it, but drop-ins are greeted happily. Calls are encouraged at 303-703-4080. While the group used to have a fairly regular schedule of exhibits with guest artists, the space is mostly used today as a working studio, Rommel said. And of course the group is convinced that an original painting makes an ideal and lasting holiday gift.

“His mom, Pam, likes that Camilla comes from a strict Catholic family, and loves that she does so much work with a children’s charity,” Page Six said, quoting an In Touch source. “Pam thinks Camilla could be the girl Tim has been waiting for!”

Englewood rolls in season openerPirate wrestlers turn in an impressive outing against LutheranBy Tom [email protected]
Englewood’s wrestlers gave the home crowd a lot to cheer about as the Pirates won their opening season dual match 51-12 over Lutheran.
“I am very pleased with the way all our guys wrestled tonight,” Pirates coach Jim Potter said. “Our veterans did a good job and I really liked to see the way our first year wrestlers responded tonight.”
Things didn’t go as well Dec. 8 as Engle-wood lost to Liberty 70-12.
To finish out the month, the Pirates wrestled rival Alameda in dual meet com-petition Dec. 12 (after press deadline) and travel to Denver North High School for the Dec. 15 tournament to close out the 2012 portion of the schedule.
The first match of 2013 is scheduled Jan. 5 on the road at Westminster and Jan. 12 the Pirates travel to the Colorado 7 League tournament at Elizabeth.
The next home match will be the Jan. 23 dual match against Mullen.
Potter said he has about 25 guys out for wrestling which is good. However, he said he has several heavyweights but only has one wrestler under 130 pounds and he is a freshman. That means the Pirates will for-feit the three lower weights. They also don’t currently have a wrestler at 182 pounds.
The gaps in the roster means the Pirates
usually spot a dual match opponent 24 points, a large challenge to overcome.
However, the Dec. 6 dual match brought together two teams of about the same size. Englewood and Lutheran had two double forfeits, meaning neither team had a wres-tler at the weight. But Lutheran had three more unfilled weights so Englewood had an 18 point edge going into the match.
The first weight in dual match competi-tion is rotated through the 13 weights. The Dec. 6 dual match started at 145 pounds where Pirate wrestler Shane Menefee’s con-ditioning paid off. He was trailing 8-2 in the
early going but he came back strong, par-ticularly in the third period, to score an 11-8 decision.
Later in the match, Ben McFarland scored his first varsity win as he pinned Lu-theran’s 190 pounder Bobby Glandon late in the first period. After his win, he said he originally came out for wrestling to help stay in shape for football.
“I came out to see what wrestling was like and I found I really liked the sport,” he said. “However, I also found out that being in shape to play football doesn’t mean you are in shape for wrestling. I am learning
wrestling moves but I am also working hard on conditioning to build my stamina so I don’t run out of gas late in a match.”
He smiled when he talked about his first varsity pin.
“I was nervous in the beginning of the match but I got over that and I kept tell-ing myself I could beat him,” he said. “I just pressed my effort to take him down and, when I put him on his back, I was confident I could get the pin.”
He said, while he is working on building his stamina, he also is in the weight room working to get stronger.
“I know I need to be stronger at this weight,” he said. “I am in the weight room a lot and, in there, I am doing a lot of reps with light weights and also doing some heavy weight lifting to build strength so I can be more competitive at 190.”
Teammate and returning letterman No-lan Severa had a forfeit but agreed to wres-tle an exhibition match but that was called off in the second period.
“This is another season and I am a better wrestler because, over the summer, I lifted weights and worked out like a madman,” he said after the match. “I come into this season a lot stronger. Also, I am a lot more confident in my wrestling skills and I am lot more determined to win matches this sea-son.”
Severa said he is best on his feet because he works to score points by taking the op-ponent to the mat, letting him up and tak-ing him down again. He said his favorite move is the double-leg takedown.
“I am in good shape, I am stronger and I have the conditioning to go full speed six minutes if necessary,” he said. “I want to win some matches but my season goal is to qualify and to wrestler at state.”

Shorthanded Pirate girls lose to SheridanRash of injuries meant Englewood had a young team on the courtBy Tom [email protected]
Injuries made it necessary for Engle-wood to take the court Dec. 7 against Sheri-dan with only two players with varsity bas-ketball experience on the roster.
“We have been hit really hard by injuries and tonight, we only have four girls on the roster who have played high school basket-ball at any level,” coach Adrianne Thomp-son said after the 45-27 loss. “Our inexpe-rience really showed out there tonight. Our two varsity veterans took almost every shot and we had a whole lot of unforced turn-overs that can be attributed to the inexperi-ence of our players. We’ll just keep working and trying to get better.”
The Pirates close out the 2012 portion of the schedule at home Dec. 14 against Jef-ferson and Dec. 18 at home against Arvada.
The courts go dark Dec. 21 as the school closes down for holiday break. Practice re-sumes in early January and the Pirate girls open the 2013 portion of the schedule Jan. 8 at Fort Morgan.
The Pirates came into the season with a roster made up of several girls who saw at least some varsity basketball playing time and a number of players new to varsity competition.
Injuries sidelined four players expected
to see action against Sheridan. So, Engle-wood played the Dec. 7 game with two re-turning letter winners, five freshmen, one sophomore and a senior who was playing varsity basketball for the first time.
“This was the first varsity basketball ex-perience for the majority of our girls and it is a big transition from even junior varsity so it was hard on our players,” the coach said after the game. “We didn’t have the ex-perienced players available tonight to run our offense. That put additional pressure on our guards, Kadie (Kavinsky) and Ma-son (Brainard). They wound up taking al-most all the shots because, even when they were open, our younger players hesitated to shoot the basketball.”
Thompson added that she saw some good things on the court against Sheridan and said the coaches will continue to stress fundamentals and help the players improve their basketball skills.
The coach said this, her second year, is a different season as there is a new coach-ing staff helping implement her system. She said he staff is working to help the play-ers improve every aspect of their game. She said volunteer coach Josh Pavlovich is heading up working on physical condition-ing, Katie Cardon is heading the junior var-sity and is the assistant varsity coach and Mekka Lebkey is helping coach on all levels.
“We have a lot of young players with good athletic abilities but we are working with them on their basketball skills,” the coach said. “We have improved 150 percent since we started practice but we still have a long way to go.”
Sophomore Madison “Dolly” Ostrowski played center for the Pirates against Sheri-dan.
“It was very rough out there tonight,” she said after the game. “Our coach Josh Pav-lovich helps me work on getting position and boxing out the other center under the boards. Tonight, the Sheridan center was too big and too strong. She set up and I just couldn’t move her.”
Ostrowski got a offensive rebound and scored on the play. She said it was fun to score for her team.
She said she is having more fun playing basketball than she has in the past. She said the coaches are helping her work on condi-
tioning. They also are working to help her establish and maintain position so she can control the boards.
Kadie Kavinsky led the scoring with 13 points and senior Mason Brainard had 12.
“We played hard tonight and it was a tough game,” Brainard said after the game. “This is a determined team. I have never seen players work this hard to learn the sys-tem and improve their skills in four years here playing varsity basketball at Engle-wood. We have a lot of potential and we can learn from tonight. The young players worked hard and played hard tonight and our team will get stronger and better as we get our injured players back in the lineup.”

Severa said he is best on his feet because he works to score points by taking the op-ponent to the mat, letting him up and tak-ing him down again. He said his favorite move is the double-leg takedown.
“I am in good shape, I am stronger and I have the conditioning to go full speed six minutes if necessary,” he said. “I want to win some matches but my season goal is to qualify and to wrestler at state.”

Kadie Kavinsky led the scoring with 13 points and senior Mason Brainard had 12.
“We played hard tonight and it was a tough game,” Brainard said after the game. “This is a determined team. I have never seen players work this hard to learn the sys-tem and improve their skills in four years here playing varsity basketball at Engle-wood. We have a lot of potential and we can learn from tonight. The young players worked hard and played hard tonight and our team will get stronger and better as we get our injured players back in the lineup.”

Toms take home state crownBy Daniel P. [email protected]
CENTENNIAL - Before the Colorado High School Activities Association’s State Spirit competition, Arapahoe Toms co-cap-tains Nicole Bruhn and Amanda Arbogast were asked a simple question:
Can you win?The girls, who have been friends since
middle school, shot each other a quick glance, smiled and followed with an appro-
priate answer:“If we’re going, we may as well win,” Ar-
bogast said.The Toms did just that as they edged out
Grandview by a single point at the Den-ver Coliseum on Dec. 7 to take home the school’s first state championship in the Poms category since 1994.
“It feels really good, but it still hasn’t quite sunk in yet and I’m still kind of in shock that it happened,” Bruhn, 17, said. “I think we hoped and prayed that what we
did was enough (to win). We felt good about it as a team. All the competition was so good and it was really cool that it did pay off.”
Arbogast and Bruhn were certainly hands-on when it came to preparations for the routines the Toms performed at state.
“We picked out the music and came up with the routine,” Bruhn said. “We really wanted to make the dance our own.”
Their coach, Kay Seastone, was on board with the decision.
“These two (Arbogast and Bruhn) are ex-
cellent representatives of what it means to be an Arapahoe Tom,” Seastone said. “I’ve seen them grow so much over the last four years. They looked up to the older girls on the team when they were younger, and now they are the ones setting the example.
“It’s been great to see them both mature and they put so much into this.”
“We worked so hard the last four years and to have it pay off with state title in our senior year is the perfect ending,” Bruhn said.

Building Excellent Schools Today (BEST) grant.
Brian Hart is managing the project for Haselden Construction, the com-pany selected to build the project.
“This will be a three-phase project that will take about 11 months,” Hart told the audience of about 40 people.
“Phase one will take about fi ve months and will begin in late Decem-ber or early January. That is when we will mobilize our equipment to begin remodeling the south half of the build-ing while the students attend classes in the north half of the building.”
He said all workers will undergo background checks and will be re-quired to wear stickers on their hard hats, identifying who they are and that they have undergone the required background check.
Crews will erect wooden partitions between the construction site and the student area. That is to make sure construction workers can’t go into the student area and students can’t go into the construction area.
“We will begin phase two in June 2013,” Hart said. “Student will be moved to the south half of the build-ing and we will fence the northern half of the school to begin work inside and
outside the building.”Outside work includes installation
of windows and creating a new park-ing lot at the north end of the site, plus crews will be moving the building en-trance from Chenango to the west side adjacent to the present parking lot.
Hart said about 90 percent of the work will be done inside the building and work hours will be from 6 a.m. un-til 6 p.m., so there should be very little noise to disturb neighbors.
A resident asked about the route and amount of construction traffi c.
Hart said there will be no heavy construction equipment involved in this project. He said most construc-tion-related traffi c will be relatively small trucks delivering supplies and equipment. The general route is to come in off Broadway to the delivery area adjacent to the school.
Another resident asked about re-cycling and environmental construc-tion.
“We are seeking to meet the LEED silver certifi cation confi rming that the project is environmentally friendly,” Hart said. “One of the certifi cation re-quirements is that 50 percent of con-struction debris be recycled. Most of our project recycles about 75 percent.”
Colorado’s Finest Alternative High School opened in 1980 and was one
of the fi rst alternative high schools in the state. It has always been located in the former Scenic View Elementary School building at 2323 W. Baker Ave. The building is too small and tem-porary classrooms have been added. Inside the former elementary school, there are no classroom walls, a very small gymnasium and no facilities to offer school lunches.
The new location will mean, for the fi rst time, the alternative high school will have lunch facilities, a full-size gymnasium and locker rooms.
When the project is completed, there be a number of additions to the alternative high school programs. Those additions will include the dis-trict’s new cosmetology program, a video editing and production program and a science, technology, engineer-ing and math laboratory.
Bobbie Skaggs-Renaud, CFAHS principal, said the new campus will follow the traditional calendar, and classes will be in session from 7:55 a.m. until 5:30 p.m.
She said there are about 350 stu-dents at the alternative high school this year and she expects about the same number of students will be en-rolled when the new facility opens. That number is expected grow to near the school’s capacity of 570 students.

Pursuant to C.R.S. 37-92-302, you are no-tified that the following is a resume of allwater right applications and certainamendments filed in the Office of the Wa-ter Clerk during the month of NOVEM-BER 2012 for each County affected.
12CW257 East Cherry Creek Valley Wa-ter and Sanitation District, acting by andthrough the East Cherry Creek Valley Wa-ter and Sanitation District Water ActivityEnterprise, Inc. (“ECCV”), 6201 S. GunClub Road, Aurora, CO 80016 (c/o Willi-am B. Tourtillott, Esq., Brian M. Naz-arenus, Esq., Sheela S. Stack, Esq.,Susan M. Ryan, Esq., RYLEY CARLOCK& APPLEWHITE, 1700 Lincoln Street,Suite 3500, Denver, Colorado 80203,Telephone: 303-863-7500, Attorneys forECCV), APPLICATION FOR DETERMIN-ATION OF WATER RIGHTS, IN ADAMS,ARAPAHOE, DENVER, DOUGLAS, EL-BERT, JEFFERSON, MORGAN, ANDWELD COUNTIES, 2. Introduction. EC-CV has developed an integrated systemfor the diversion, accretion, collection,storage, transmission, and treatment of itswater rights. The integrated system,which is also referred to as the WaterSupply Project or the Northern Project, isdesigned to provide ECCV with a long-term, sustainable municipal water supplyfor its service area located in ArapahoeCounty, Colorado. A map of ECCV’s ser-vice area is attached as Exhibit 1. Ac-cording to ECCV’s Water ConservationPlan, at full build out which is expected tooccur in twenty years, ECCV will requireapproximately 12,000 to 14,000 acre-feetof water. The Water Court has previouslydecreed various components of the WaterSupply Project. In Case No. 02CW403,the Water Court approved a plan for aug-mentation (“ECCV Augmentation Plan”)for ECCV’s Upper Beebe Draw wellfield(“ECCV Well Field”), as described in para-graph 15.1 of that decree. The ECCVAugmentation Plan allowed for the addi-tion of wells to the augmentation plan andfor the use of additional sources of substi-tute supply to replace the out-of-prioritydepletions resulting from pumping the EC-CV Well Field. Case No. 02CW403 alsodecreed a change in use for ECCV’sshares in the Burlington Ditch Reservoirand Land Company (the “Burlington-BarrShares”) and ECCV’s shares in the Farm-ers Reservoir and Irrigation Company (the“FRICO-Barr Shares”). The decree inCase No. 02CW403 excluded Barr Laketoe drain seepage from the quantificationof the historical consumptive use associ-ated with ECCV’s shares. In Case Nos.02CW404 and 03CW442, the Court ap-proved the addition of six (6) wells to theECCV Well Field, additional sources of re-placement water to the ECCV Augmenta-tion 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 foraugmentation to replace the out-of-prioritydepletions created by the pumping ofwells located on 70 Ranch (“70 RanchAugmentation Plan”) and a rechargeproject on 70 Ranch (“70 Ranch Re-charge Project”). By this application, EC-CV seeks a determination of: 1) its prorata portion of seepage attributable to EC-CV’s fully consumable water stored in BarrLake that is discharged to the BeebeCanal through the Barr Lake toe drainsand interceptor ditch; and 2) the amount ofground water seepage into the BeebeDraw aquifer that is attributable to ECCV’sfully consumable water stored in BarrLake. ECCV seeks to use its pro rata por-tion of these reusable water supplies as asource of substitute supply for the ECCVAugmentation Plan decreed in Case No.02CW403. ECCV also seeks a determin-ation that it can replace the historical re-turn flow obligations for its Burlington-Barrand FRICO-Barr shares that werechanged in Case No. 02CW403 with re-charge accretions from its reusable watersupplies in the Beebe Draw aquifer, usingthe Unit Response Functions (“URFs”) de-creed in Case Nos. 02CW404 and03CW442. 3. Description of Barr Lake.3.1. Barr Lake. Barr Lake is an off-chan-nel reservoir located in Sections 15, 21,22, 23, 26, 27, 28, and 33, Township 1South, Range 66 West of the 6th P.M.,Adams County, Colorado. Barr Lake is anenlargement of the original Oasis Reser-voir. ECCV is a shareholder in the Burl-ington Barr Lake Division of FRICO andthe Barr Lake Division of FRICO, and hasthe right to store water in Barr Lake. EC-CV also has the ability to store water inBarr Lake on a “space available” basissubject to and in compliance with itsagreements with FRICO, and any sub-sequent agreements they may enter.3.1.1. Location of Dam. At a point at thecenter of Section 23, Township 1 South,Range 66 West of the 6th P.M., AdamsCounty, Colorado. 3.1.2. Surface Area.1,900 acres at high water line. 3.1.3. Stor-age Height. 34 feet. 3.1.4. Capacity.30,057 acre-feet, dead storage is lessthan 300 acre-feet. 3.2. Barr Lake ToeDrains. FRICO constructed a toe drainsystem into the Barr Lake dam to drain theseepage in and through the dam, and aninterceptor ditch to collect underflow surfa-cing from beneath the structure. The wa-ter in the toe drain system is measured bya gage on the collection trench fed by thetoe drain and then released into theBeebe Canal. Flows in the interceptorditch are measured at the head of theBeebe Seep Canal. 4. Sources ofECCV’s Fully Consumable Water Storedin Barr Lake. 4.1. The 70 Ranch WaterRights decreed in Case Nos. 02CW404and 03CW442; 4.2. ECCV’s FRICO-Barrand Burlington-Barr shares decreed inCase No. 02CW403; 4.3. FRICO’s Multi-Purpose Water Right decreed in Case No.02CW403 (limited to the extent of ECCV’spro rata ownership of FRICO shares, or asotherwise allocated by and betweenFRICO shareholders); 4.4. The fully con-sumable portion of all water rights claimedin ECCV’s pending applications in CaseNos. 06CW40, 11CW151/ 05CW58,11CW280, 11CW285, and 12CW73; and4.5. The fully consumable portion of EC-CV’s currently owned but unchanged wa-ter sources and future acquired watersources, which include but may not be lim-ited to shares in the New Cache la PoudreIrrigating Company, the Cache la PoudreReservoir Company, and the Ogilvy Irriga-tion and Land Company. Once the cur-rently owned and future acquired watersources are changed ECCV will follow theprocedures in paragraph 19 of the decreein Case No. 02CW403 and paragraphs 25and 58.5 of the decree entered in CaseNos. 02CW404 and 03CW442 to addthose rights as additional sources of re-placement supply. 5. Determination ofthe Claimed Seepage from Barr Lake.5.1. Toe Drain and Interceptor Ditch Seep-age. ECCV seeks a determination of itspro rata portion of seepage attributable toECCV’s fully consumable water stored inBarr Lake that is discharged to the BeebeCanal through the Barr Lake toe drainsand interceptor ditch. The precise amountof this seepage varies based upon thetotal amount of water in Barr Lake, theamount in ECCV’s Barr Lake accounts,and other variables such as evaporationand precipitation. Accordingly, as part ofdetermining ECCV’s pro rata seepage,ECCV will seek to adjudicate a methodo-logy that will account for the variables andenable the calculation of ECCV’s pro rataseepage. 5.2. Ground Water Seepage.ECCV seeks a determination of theamount of ground water seepage into theBeebe Draw aquifer that is attributable toECCV’s fully consumable water stored inBarr Lake and the adjudication of a meth-odology to evaluate the calculation of suchwater. ECCV is not claiming seepage onwater stored in Barr Lake that is allocatedfor ditch loss replacement or historic re-turn flow obligations. ECCV is in the pro-cess of gathering data from monitoringwells in and around Barr Lake. The datafrom the monitoring wells will be used todetermine the amount of undergroundseepage from Barr Lake. 6. Determina-tion of the Use of Recharge Accretions inthe Beebe Draw to Replace Historical Re-turn Flow Obligations. ECCV seeks a de-termination that it can replace the historic-al return flow obligations for its changedBurlington-Barr and FRICO-Barr shareswith recharge accretions from its reusablesupplies in the Beebe Draw aquifer. EC-CV’s water rights, as described in para-graph 4, have been and/or will be de-creed for use as a replacement source ofsupply, which includes the replacement ofhistorical return flow obligations. ECCVwill use the URFs decreed in Case Nos.02CW404 and 03CW442 to determine thetiming and amount of the recharge accre-tions in the Beebe Draw in order to re-place the historical return flows from theBurlington-Barr and FRICO-Barr shares intiming, location, and amount. 7. Ownersof Land upon which Structures are Loc-ated. The Farmers Reservoir and Irriga-tion Company (“FRICO”), 80 South 27thAvenue, Brighton, Colorado 80601, is thefee owner of Barr Lake and the BurlingtonDitch. The United Diversion Facility No. 3and the land at the point of diversion forUnited Reservoir No. 3 are owned byUnited Water and Sanitation District(“United”), 8301 East Prentice Avenue#100, Greenwood Village, Colorado80111.

Ground Water Seepage.ECCV seeks a determination of theamount of ground water seepage into theBeebe Draw aquifer that is attributable toECCV’s fully consumable water stored inBarr Lake and the adjudication of a meth-odology to evaluate the calculation of suchwater. ECCV is not claiming seepage onwater stored in Barr Lake that is allocatedfor ditch loss replacement or historic re-turn flow obligations. ECCV is in the pro-cess of gathering data from monitoringwells in and around Barr Lake. The datafrom the monitoring wells will be used todetermine the amount of undergroundseepage from Barr Lake. 6. Determina-tion of the Use of Recharge Accretions inthe Beebe Draw to Replace Historical Re-turn Flow Obligations. ECCV seeks a de-termination that it can replace the historic-al return flow obligations for its changedBurlington-Barr and FRICO-Barr shareswith recharge accretions from its reusablesupplies in the Beebe Draw aquifer. EC-CV’s water rights, as described in para-graph 4, have been and/or will be de-creed for use as a replacement source ofsupply, which includes the replacement ofhistorical return flow obligations. ECCVwill use the URFs decreed in Case Nos.02CW404 and 03CW442 to determine thetiming and amount of the recharge accre-tions in the Beebe Draw in order to re-place the historical return flows from theBurlington-Barr and FRICO-Barr shares intiming, location, and amount. 7. Ownersof Land upon which Structures are Loc-ated. The Farmers Reservoir and Irriga-tion Company (“FRICO”), 80 South 27thAvenue, Brighton, Colorado 80601, is thefee owner of Barr Lake and the BurlingtonDitch. The United Diversion Facility No. 3and the land at the point of diversion forUnited Reservoir No. 3 are owned byUnited Water and Sanitation District(“United”), 8301 East Prentice Avenue#100, Greenwood Village, Colorado80111.

GunClub Road, Aurora, CO 80016 (c/o Willi-am B. Tourtillott, Esq., Brian M. Naz-arenus, Esq., Sheela S. Stack, Esq.,Susan M. Ryan, Esq., RYLEY CARLOCK& APPLEWHITE, 1700 Lincoln Street,Suite 3500, Denver, Colorado 80203,Telephone: 303-863-7500, Attorneys forECCV), APPLICATION FOR DETERMIN-ATION OF WATER RIGHTS, IN ADAMS,ARAPAHOE, DENVER, DOUGLAS, EL-BERT, JEFFERSON, MORGAN, ANDWELD COUNTIES, 2. Introduction. EC-CV has developed an integrated systemfor the diversion, accretion, collection,storage, transmission, and treatment of itswater rights. The integrated system,which is also referred to as the WaterSupply Project or the Northern Project, isdesigned to provide ECCV with a long-term, sustainable municipal water supplyfor its service area located in ArapahoeCounty, Colorado. A map of ECCV’s ser-vice area is attached as Exhibit 1. Ac-cording to ECCV’s Water ConservationPlan, at full build out which is expected tooccur in twenty years, ECCV will requireapproximately 12,000 to 14,000 acre-feetof water. The Water Court has previouslydecreed various components of the WaterSupply Project. In Case No. 02CW403,the Water Court approved a plan for aug-mentation (“ECCV Augmentation Plan”)for ECCV’s Upper Beebe Draw wellfield(“ECCV Well Field”), as described in para-graph 15.1 of that decree. The ECCVAugmentation Plan allowed for the addi-tion of wells to the augmentation plan andfor the use of additional sources of substi-tute supply to replace the out-of-prioritydepletions resulting from pumping the EC-CV Well Field. Case No. 02CW403 alsodecreed a change in use for ECCV’sshares in the Burlington Ditch Reservoirand Land Company (the “Burlington-BarrShares”) and ECCV’s shares in the Farm-ers Reservoir and Irrigation Company (the“FRICO-Barr Shares”). The decree inCase No. 02CW403 excluded Barr Laketoe drain seepage from the quantificationof the historical consumptive use associ-ated with ECCV’s shares. In Case Nos.02CW404 and 03CW442, the Court ap-proved the addition of six (6) wells to theECCV Well Field, additional sources of re-placement water to the ECCV Augmenta-tion 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 foraugmentation to replace the out-of-prioritydepletions created by the pumping ofwells located on 70 Ranch (“70 RanchAugmentation Plan”) and a rechargeproject on 70 Ranch (“70 Ranch Re-charge Project”). By this application, EC-CV seeks a determination of: 1) its prorata portion of seepage attributable to EC-CV’s fully consumable water stored in BarrLake that is discharged to the BeebeCanal through the Barr Lake toe drainsand interceptor ditch; and 2) the amount ofground water seepage into the BeebeDraw aquifer that is attributable to ECCV’sfully consumable water stored in BarrLake. ECCV seeks to use its pro rata por-tion of these reusable water supplies as asource of substitute supply for the ECCVAugmentation Plan decreed in Case No.02CW403. ECCV also seeks a determin-ation that it can replace the historical re-turn flow obligations for its Burlington-Barrand FRICO-Barr shares that werechanged in Case No. 02CW403 with re-charge accretions from its reusable watersupplies in the Beebe Draw aquifer, usingthe Unit Response Functions (“URFs”) de-creed in Case Nos. 02CW404 and03CW442. 3. Description of Barr Lake.3.1. Barr Lake. Barr Lake is an off-chan-nel reservoir located in Sections 15, 21,22, 23, 26, 27, 28, and 33, Township 1South, Range 66 West of the 6th P.M.,Adams County, Colorado. Barr Lake is anenlargement of the original Oasis Reser-voir. ECCV is a shareholder in the Burl-ington Barr Lake Division of FRICO andthe Barr Lake Division of FRICO, and hasthe right to store water in Barr Lake. EC-CV also has the ability to store water inBarr Lake on a “space available” basissubject to and in compliance with itsagreements with FRICO, and any sub-sequent agreements they may enter.3.1.1. Location of Dam. At a point at thecenter of Section 23, Township 1 South,Range 66 West of the 6th P.M., AdamsCounty, Colorado. 3.1.2. Surface Area.1,900 acres at high water line. 3.1.3. Stor-age Height. 34 feet. 3.1.4. Capacity.30,057 acre-feet, dead storage is lessthan 300 acre-feet. 3.2. Barr Lake ToeDrains. FRICO constructed a toe drainsystem into the Barr Lake dam to drain theseepage in and through the dam, and aninterceptor ditch to collect underflow surfa-cing from beneath the structure. The wa-ter in the toe drain system is measured bya gage on the collection trench fed by thetoe drain and then released into theBeebe Canal. Flows in the interceptorditch are measured at the head of theBeebe Seep Canal. 4. Sources ofECCV’s Fully Consumable Water Storedin Barr Lake. 4.1. The 70 Ranch WaterRights decreed in Case Nos. 02CW404and 03CW442; 4.2. ECCV’s FRICO-Barrand Burlington-Barr shares decreed inCase No. 02CW403; 4.3. FRICO’s Multi-Purpose Water Right decreed in Case No.02CW403 (limited to the extent of ECCV’spro rata ownership of FRICO shares, or asotherwise allocated by and betweenFRICO shareholders); 4.4. The fully con-sumable portion of all water rights claimedin ECCV’s pending applications in CaseNos. 06CW40, 11CW151/ 05CW58,11CW280, 11CW285, and 12CW73; and4.5. The fully consumable portion of EC-CV’s currently owned but unchanged wa-ter sources and future acquired watersources, which include but may not be lim-ited to shares in the New Cache la PoudreIrrigating Company, the Cache la PoudreReservoir Company, and the Ogilvy Irriga-tion and Land Company. Once the cur-rently owned and future acquired watersources are changed ECCV will follow theprocedures in paragraph 19 of the decreein Case No. 02CW403 and paragraphs 25and 58.5 of the decree entered in CaseNos. 02CW404 and 03CW442 to addthose rights as additional sources of re-placement supply. 5. Determination ofthe Claimed Seepage from Barr Lake.5.1. Toe Drain and Interceptor Ditch Seep-age. ECCV seeks a determination of itspro rata portion of seepage attributable toECCV’s fully consumable water stored inBarr Lake that is discharged to the BeebeCanal through the Barr Lake toe drainsand interceptor ditch. The precise amountof this seepage varies based upon thetotal amount of water in Barr Lake, theamount in ECCV’s Barr Lake accounts,and other variables such as evaporationand precipitation.

The fully con-sumable portion of all water rights claimedin ECCV’s pending applications in CaseNos. 06CW40, 11CW151/ 05CW58,11CW280, 11CW285, and 12CW73; and4.5. The fully consumable portion of EC-CV’s currently owned but unchanged wa-ter sources and future acquired watersources, which include but may not be lim-ited to shares in the New Cache la PoudreIrrigating Company, the Cache la PoudreReservoir Company, and the Ogilvy Irriga-tion and Land Company. Once the cur-rently owned and future acquired watersources are changed ECCV will follow theprocedures in paragraph 19 of the decreein Case No. 02CW403 and paragraphs 25and 58.5 of the decree entered in CaseNos. 02CW404 and 03CW442 to addthose rights as additional sources of re-placement supply. 5. Determination ofthe Claimed Seepage from Barr Lake.5.1. Toe Drain and Interceptor Ditch Seep-age. ECCV seeks a determination of itspro rata portion of seepage attributable toECCV’s fully consumable water stored inBarr Lake that is discharged to the BeebeCanal through the Barr Lake toe drainsand interceptor ditch. The precise amountof this seepage varies based upon thetotal amount of water in Barr Lake, theamount in ECCV’s Barr Lake accounts,and other variables such as evaporationand precipitation. Accordingly, as part ofdetermining ECCV’s pro rata seepage,ECCV will seek to adjudicate a methodo-logy that will account for the variables andenable the calculation of ECCV’s pro rataseepage. 5.2. Ground Water Seepage.ECCV seeks a determination of theamount of ground water seepage into theBeebe Draw aquifer that is attributable toECCV’s fully consumable water stored inBarr Lake and the adjudication of a meth-odology to evaluate the calculation of suchwater. ECCV is not claiming seepage onwater stored in Barr Lake that is allocatedfor ditch loss replacement or historic re-turn flow obligations. ECCV is in the pro-cess of gathering data from monitoringwells in and around Barr Lake. The datafrom the monitoring wells will be used todetermine the amount of undergroundseepage from Barr Lake. 6. Determina-tion of the Use of Recharge Accretions inthe Beebe Draw to Replace Historical Re-turn Flow Obligations. ECCV seeks a de-termination that it can replace the historic-al return flow obligations for its changedBurlington-Barr and FRICO-Barr shareswith recharge accretions from its reusablesupplies in the Beebe Draw aquifer. EC-CV’s water rights, as described in para-graph 4, have been and/or will be de-creed for use as a replacement source ofsupply, which includes the replacement ofhistorical return flow obligations. ECCVwill use the URFs decreed in Case Nos.02CW404 and 03CW442 to determine thetiming and amount of the recharge accre-tions in the Beebe Draw in order to re-place the historical return flows from theBurlington-Barr and FRICO-Barr shares intiming, location, and amount. 7. Ownersof Land upon which Structures are Loc-ated. The Farmers Reservoir and Irriga-tion Company (“FRICO”), 80 South 27thAvenue, Brighton, Colorado 80601, is thefee owner of Barr Lake and the BurlingtonDitch.
