Shooting response earns praise Changes since Columbine prove their worth By Chris Michlewicz [email protected]

There’s a general consensus in the law enforcement community that things could have been much worse.

By any measure, a school shooting that leaves two students dead and hundreds with deep emotional scars is an unthink-able and heart-wrenching tragedy.

As the gravity of the shooting at Arapa-hoe High School on Friday the 13th be-comes more real, offi cials will take every angle to look at what went right and what went wrong.

As for the swarming emergency re-sponse to the Centennial school, there is a

lot that went right. It became obvious in the days following the shooting that the perpe-trator had plans for widespread death and destruction. It is believed that the immedi-ate response by an armed school resource offi cer and his confrontation of the shooter, ended the rampage much sooner.

Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Rob-inson said years of intense training for an active shooter situation were instrumental in limiting the number of casualties.

“The response was very effective and ob-viously quick and also was very consistent with what we’ve done over several years, the exercises we’ve done on a regional level,” Robinson said.

Coincidentally, one month before the shooting, Littleton Public Schools was ranked by Security Magazine as the seventh best school district in the nation for security, and among the top 500 institutions

‘Heaven has gained an angel’ Arapahoe High shooting victim Claire Davis dies By Chris Rotar [email protected]

The list of items, each one dropped off as a gesture of hope and support, contin-ued to grow.

The fl owers, the candles, the cards, the teddy bears, the balloons, the banners urg-ing strength. Since Dec. 13, they piled up outside a fence at Arapahoe High School in Centennial.

Claire Davis — and all of Arapahoe High — was tight within an extended commu-nity’s embrace.

Nine days after Davis was shot in the head, one item, a yellow poster board, spelled out the heartbreaking conclusion of her fi ght for life.

“Heaven has gained an angel.”Davis had died the previous day, at 4:29

p.m. Dec. 21, at Littleton Adventist Hospi-

tal, her family by her side. The 17-year-old had been in critical condition since fellow Arapahoe High student Karl Pierson shot her at the school around 12:30 p.m. Dec. 13.

A statement posted on the hospital’s Facebook page announced the news to the community and to those around the nation and world who spent more than a week praying for Davis to recover. The hospital’s message seemed to indicate that Davis was indeed “Warrior Strong” — a mantra built on the school’s nickname and the need to rebound from a nightmare — until the end.

“Despite the best efforts of our physi-cians and nursing staff, and Claire’s fi ght-ing spirit, her injuries were too severe and the most advanced medical treatments could not prevent this tragic loss of life. Claire’s death is immensely heartbreaking for our entire community, our staff and our families.”

“I still don’t believe it happened,” said Arapahoe junior Tessa Serano (right, in white T-shirt) who, along with her twin sister Cheyenne (left) and fellow Arapahoe junior Caroline Powell (center), visited the memorial to Davis on Dec. 19 after picking up their personal belongings inside the high school.

Ex-deputy coroner faces jail Carter Lord found guilty of embezzlement, forgery By Ryan Boldrey [email protected]

Former Douglas County Deputy Coro-ner Carter Lord has been found guilty of embezzlement and forgery, crimes he com-mitted while serving the county.

In October 2012, the criminal justice division of the Colorado Attorney General’s Offi ce fi led a com-plaint against Lord accusing him of embezzling fi rearms from the Douglas County Coroner’s Offi ce that had been collected as evidence.

An ensuing investigation by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation uncovered the fact that three guns which had been taken as evidence by the coroner’s offi ce following suicides in-vestigated by the offi ce had gone missing.

“In four instances, the next of kin re-leased the guns to the Douglas County Cor-oner’s Offi ce, and those weapons should have been destroyed,” a news release from the Attorney General’s Offi ce states. “Four guns were released to Lord for destruction; however, only one of the four guns was ac-tually destroyed.

“Lord resold one of the guns, and kept two of the others to sell at a store he owns called The Stock Shop, in Sedalia. Carter Lord fi led falsifi ed documents with the Douglas County Coroner’s Offi ce showing that the guns had been destroyed.”

Lord pleaded not guilty to the charges and the case was presented to a Douglas County jury on Dec. 17 and 18. The jury re-turned with guilty verdicts on one count of embezzlement and two counts of forgery on Dec. 19.

Warriors, � ercely kind, come together As Anna Sutterer crowded with 25 other

students in the darkened corner of her AP Lit class, the words of the hymn she sings every Sunday at church — “Praise God from whom all blessings fl ow” — tumbled through her mind.

Shots had just echoed through her Arapahoe High School halls. So she prayed.

For strength in the moment.For the shooter, knowing he was one of

God’s children, but was lost.For the aftermath, of peace in every-

one’s hearts.“I thought this couldn’t happen to any

of our Warriors,” she said later. “I prayed we would end up being more powerful than the actual event.”

That’s exactly what’s happening.But perhaps that’s not so surprising,

considering every school day for four years students hear the same seven words at the end of morning announcements: “Warriors Always Take Care of Each Other.”

“Maybe you don’t feel it every single day, but it really is ingrained in us,” Anna, 17, said. “It’s part of the tradition of the Arapahoe tribe. …”

In the days since an 18-year-old gun-man — one of their own — killed himself after fatally injuring a 17-year-old girl, also one of their own, Arapahoe’s students, numbering about the size of a small town, have led a remarkable healing campaign with wisdom and compassion far beyond their years.

They have supported each other in small and big ways, seeking comfort in numbers and solace in shared experience.

“It seems,” Anna’s father said, “the whole community of students is deter-mined to take care of each other.”

A chain of “fi erce kindness,” as one observer described, started almost im-

mediately.The day after the violence, 200 students

gathered at noon at a nearby youth center to share stories and pray.

A few hours later, another student opened her home until midnight for whoever wanted to stop by. Throughout the night, teens came and went, grabbing a bite to eat or talking or even dancing a little.

“Nobody has wanted to be alone or without any of their friends,” Anna said. “We have to be in a big group. I think, for me, when I’m alone it kind of gives way to all those thoughts … the rushing of it.”

That Saturday evening, Maggie Hurl-but, 17, the school newspaper editor who had crouched in the classroom with Anna, helped organize a candlelight vigil for Claire Davis, the senior who died Dec. 21 after nine days in a coma.

“It was to pay our respects to Claire,” Maggie said. “Part of it was also a selfi sh need. I needed to be doing something. It gave me a purpose. … I wanted to be around people … and I felt that sentiment from other people.”

More than 500 students, parents and community members formed a circle several layers deep at a Centennial park. As candles fl ickered in the night, students vowed the tragedy would not defi ne them;

then they melted into hugs, many with people they did not know.

“There defi nitely is a certain trauma we endured,” Maggie said. “It’s defi nitely not something we can handle alone. But being with others in the same situation can help us move past it.”

That urge to gather as one — whether in celebration or sorrow — is an inextricable component of human nature, said Kim Gorgens, an assistant professor of psychol-ogy at the University of Denver.

“It’s every rally, every church potluck, every workplace meal delivery,” she said. “For as long as people have been tracking human behavior, that’s what people do in good times and in bad times.”

Connection is essential to surviving the bad times.

“The worst possible thing that under-mines mental health is really that sense of powerlessness after any kind of tragedy … especially events like these, the cata-strophic loss of a sense of safety,” Gorgens said. “But kids who fi nd a sense of being or reason to be in action are the ones who really fare best.”

Students’ desire to reclaim control has spread beyond Arapahoe walls. Teens from other schools are sending banners of support, selling T-shirts to support Claire and collecting donations to help cover medical expenses. A Twitter petition to bring Claire’s favorite band, One Direction, exploded to more than 40,000 tweets in just 48 hours.

“It’s really touching,” Maggie said. “We’re (school) rivals every other time, but now it’s bigger than that. I hope that rela-tionship will be changed a little bit.”

What is sure to endure is the Arapahoe spirit: Warriors Always Take Care of Each Other.

“We buy it,” Maggie said. “… everything falls away in times when we need each other. And we’ve been very vocal right now that we really do need each other.”

The daily repetition of this particular school motto is inspirational, said Gorgens, who calls it a smart way to bring kids into adulthood.

“There’s something about clinging to an identity that’s prescribed to you,” she said. And this one “is fi erce kindness … This is the outcome of what it looks like in a crisis. It’s a thing of beauty that these kids would be so present for each other.”

Maggie and Anna expect some bumps as they navigate the road ahead.

Neither is sleeping well. Loud noises startle Maggie. Anna can’t bring herself to watch or listen to the news much.

“I think just because of all the things we’ve been doing, I will be more resilient than I expect,” Anna said. At the same time, “I’m trying to give myself grace for not immediately being OK.”

Both are looking forward to returning to school.

“There’s something about taking it back and redeeming that space,” Anna said. “Even being in that place where those memories are going to be, the fact is we really banded together because of that place.”

They believe they will, eventually, leave behind what happened that terrible day, but, said Maggie, not “without some re-membrance, respect and courage.”

Like true — fi ercely kind — warriors.

New homes, businesses on the way in 2014 Developer con� dence on the uptick By Chris Michlewicz [email protected]

As 2013 wraps up, housing construction in Parker remains at a fever pitch, capping off a banner year, the likes of which hasn’t been seen since before the recession.

The collapse of the housing market put planned projects on hold indefi nitely, but the booming demand for single-family homes has put development back on the agenda — literally. Parker Town Council and the Parker Planning Commission have been bombarded by one proposal after an-other, signifying an improvement in the de-velopment community’s confi dence.

Here are a handful of pending projects that Parker residents might see breaking ground in the next six months:

Horseshoe RidgeLand once targeted for apartments

or townhomes will now be single-family homes. The last remaining empty parcels of Horseshoe Ridge are being developed, including a 7.5-acre lot on the northwest corner of Hess Road and Pardee Street. At roughly 4.4 dwelling units per acre, the

33 single-family detached homes will be packed closer together than homes in most Parker neighborhoods, but the density rep-resents a sizable decrease from what is al-lowed by zoning.

Since 2011, three different homebuild-ers have been actively piecing together the last parts of Horseshoe Ridge. Some vacant lots were purchased when home sales were at their lowest. Town of Parker offi cials are reviewing a fi nal plat application to “make sure all of the construction plans are com-plete” before giving the go-ahead, said Patrick Mulready, senior planner for the town. Construction is expected to start this spring.

Pine Blu� sThe existing Pine Bluffs subdivision

northeast of South Parker Road and Hess Road is about to undergo an eastward ex-pansion. Toll Brothers is proposing the con-struction of 90 single-family homes on a 30-acre parcel on the northeast corner of Hess Road and Hilltop Road. The semi-custom homes will be similar to the existing hous-es, but will sit lower because they would be built in Tallman Gulch. A fi nal plat applica-tion will be reviewed in January, and if the proposal is approved, construction could start in April or May.

“The market is great for this type of sin-gle-family residential, the larger homes, so

they kind of want to strike while the iron is hot,” Mulready said.

Residents who live nearby have voiced their concerns about traffi c impacts, lower home values and blocked view corridors. Mulready said he expects that extending Snowy Own Drive to the new neighborhood will reduce traffi c on some streets in Hid-den River, just to the north. Pine Bluffs will be slightly disjointed at build-out, as the fi -nal section north of Parker United Method-ist Church, near Preston Hills, is slated for future development.

Kneaders BakeryIf approved, it will be the second Colora-

do location for Kneaders Bakery. The own-ers are awaiting fi nal approval from council and the planning commission to demolish the existing building — the former home of the Crosswalk Christian Bookstore — and construct a new building with a drive-thru. The planning commission is expected to

consider a site plan amendment at 7 p.m. Jan. 9 at town hall. The bakery has a con-cept similar to Panera Bread, Parker resi-dent Jacob Hawkins told council during a fall meeting.

Miramont Family MedicalIn the coming months, Miramont Family

Medical will begin construction on a facil-ity near the northwest corner of Pine Lane and Twenty Mile Road, one block west of its existing location. The 5,287-square-foot family medical clinic will be built on 1.1 acres and include a drive-thru pharmacy. The project was approved by town council in November.

The applicant is fi nalizing building and grading permits for the site, which has been identifi ed as one of the more challenging properties in Parker to develop. The unde-velopable 1.4 acres on the site are dedicat-ed for right-of-way, utility easements and fl ood plain.

Castle Rock interested in future of reservoir New Rueter-Hess Reservoir could become major recreation draw By Virginia Grantier [email protected]

The new still-fi lling Rueter-Hess Reservoir just north of Castle Rock is expected to be bigger than Cherry Creek Reservoir, someday — and in anticipation of that, its creator, Parker Water and Sanitation District, recently came to Castle Rock Town Council asking if the town might support de-veloping recreational amenities there.

Ideas being fl oated: Things such as fi shing, a swim beach, dog park, picnic and camping areas and miles of trails — and possibly non-motorized boat-ing, eventually.

The consensus of Castle Rock Town Council: Interested.

“I really like the potential … I think it’s a great idea,” said Castle Rock May-or Paul Donahue, who also said he ap-preciated having the opportunity to have input and possibly being a part of it.

Ron Redd, district manager for Parker Water and Sanitation District, and Susan St. Vincent, the district’s director of business solutions, assured the town council they weren’t asking for fi nancial support — not at this point, anyway.

They’re talking to various councils and districts — including Castle Rock, Castle Pines and Stonegate, which have water-storage rights at Rueter-Hess — to ascertain interest and to fi nd partners with park and recreation expertise, Redd said.

St. Vincent said later the district hopes to start the master-planning process in 2014. She said they don’t know at this point what the cost would be, or the timeframe, to develop recre-ational amenities. She hopes to know more in six months to a year.

Construction of the $193.9 million Rueter-Hess Reservoir, just east of In-terstate 25’s Castle Pines Parkway exit and north of Castle Rock, was com-pleted in 2012 and has been slowing fi lling with water since then.

It captures surface water, especially storm runoff that normally would be lost downstream. It will help provide additional drinking water for Parker, help meet demand during summer and drought and extend the life of un-derground water aquifers, according to Parker Water and Sanitation Dis-trict’s website.

Water that has been through Park-er’s system and treated, is also stored there, St. Vincent told Colorado Com-munity Media.

The reservoir currently holds about

7,800 acre-feet of water, covering about 311 acres of land. At capacity it will have about 72,000 acre-feet of water, covering about 1,170 acres of land and fi ngers of the reservoir will be visible from Interstate 25. On its south end, some homeowners in Cas-tle Park Ranch, a Ranchette-type de-velopment, will look down on it, have beach-front property, with at least one property having water only about 20 to 30 feet away from the garage.

A vision of the futureSt. Vincent told Castle Rock’s town

council that in recent discussions in Parker the “energy behind the proj-ect has just been amazing,” and she thinks it will end up being a legacy for the people who choose to be involved.

St. Vincent said the west side of the Rueter-Hess Reservoir is protected as habitat preservation for “vast amounts of wildlife” including elk and deer.

So it would be the opposite side, the reservoir’s east side, that would be most appropriate for such things as access to fi shing, a dog park, swim beach picnic areas, and parking.

On the north side, north of Hess Road, there is 550 acres, room for such things as a golf courses or mountain bike trails, she said.

The south side has been identifi ed as potential overnight camping ar-eas — where scouts or church groups could pack in and camp out for mul-tiple nights. That would be down the road when the facility had overnight

security and ranger services, she said.In addition, there will be about 17

miles of potential hiking-trail area that run around all the fi ngers of the reservoir, an “amazing opportunity to spend the day there once it’s to-tally fi lled.” It could be a central place where regional trails come together.

St. Vincent said it’s an amazing piece of land with great views, and would be an attraction. “…In Colo-rado if there is a body of water people will come,” she said.

At a past Parker meeting, St. Vin-cent said all of the attendees raised their hands when asked if they were excited about the possibility of such a project. And when asked if they’d be willing to help pay for it in the form of potentially a tax, about 70 to 80 per-cent raised their hands.

During public comments, a Castle Rock resident said that kite surfers, or kite boarders, currently only have Au-rora Reservoir available for their sport. He said he thinks town council would be surprised how much activity the sport brings and he hopes that would be part of a recreation plan.

Rob Hanna, the town’s parks and recreation director, said in a joint memo with Redd, that in the past months they have been meeting with staff from Parker, Douglas County and others to discuss forming a regional partnership and that those represen-tatives “share our support and excite-ment of providing public access and potential regional `draw’ this distinc-tive project provides.”

Volunteer arrested on sex-assault charge Sta� report

Police arrested a Parker Task Force volunteer suspected of inappropriately touching a young girl.

Michael Frey, 69, was taken into custody one month after the incident was reported to the Parker Police De-partment on Nov. 21. He is accused of touching the female victim multiple times while at the task force, a non-profi t organization that helps under-privileged families in Douglas and El-bert counties.

Task force offi cials are fully cooperating with the investiga-tion, a spokeswoman for the 501(c)(3) said. It’s unclear whether the victim was also a volunteer. The al-leged assault occurred in the days leading up to Thanksgiving, which is among the busiest times of year for the task force.

Steve Budnack, volunteer chairman of the nonprofi t, called the reported misconduct an “extremely unfortunate

incident.”“Michael Frey was prohibited from

having contact with anyone from the task force offi ce and is no longer serv-ing at the task force,” Budnack said in a statement.

The Pinery resident turned himself into police and was booked on one fel-ony count of sexual assault on a child. He is being held on a $50,000 bond.

The Parker Police Department is asking for help in identifying any po-tential additional victims. Call 303-805-6560 or email [email protected].

Experts explore future of job growthEvent puts focus on Colorado’s economic developmentBy George [email protected]

The news was mostly positive and up-beat at this year’s annual economic fore-cast breakfast, held Dec. 13 and hosted by the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce.

Nearly 800 business and civic leaders attended the two-hour event, including a bevy of local elected officials represent-ing Centennial and Arapahoe County.

Held in the grand ballroom of the Den-ver Tech Center’s Hyatt Regency hotel, the annual gathering featured presentations from a panel of nationally renowned eco-nomic experts.

After brief opening remarks from South Metro Denver Chamber Presi-dent John Brackney — who encouraged “everyone in this room to be economic developers” — and chamber Chairman-elect Rick Whipple — who touted the Chamber’s ongoing efforts around the state to promote the “Fix the Debt” cam-paign — the main presentation kicked off

with an update from Ken Lund, director of the Colorado Office of Economic De-velopment and International Trade.

“Good fortune is what happens when opportunity meets good planning,” Lund began, quoting Thomas Edison.

“Colorado will never be a big finan-cial center like New York but we can be the place that is the most innovative, the most entrepreneurial,” said Lund, whose speech highlighted the importance of cultivating an educated and talented workforce.

Colorado’s labor force “is everything,” he said, encouraging the state’s business leaders to hire the best and brightest workers in order to stay competitive.

Dr. Richard Wobbekind, a University of Colorado economist, delivered an en-couraging forecast for 2014.

Noting that Colorado was among the top seven states in terms of current population growth, Wobbekind predicted Colorado will create 61,000 new jobs next year.

“The job growth will continue to be very broad-based,” Wobbekind said. “Al-most every sector is growing.”

Wobbekind said that commodity pric-es have benefitted the agricultural and energy sectors in particular and pointed

out that foreclosure rates across the state “have really dropped and are now a non-issue.”

Dr. Martin Shields, an economics pro-fessor at Colorado State University, paint-ed a picture that was not quite a rosy as the speakers who preceded him.

Noting that the so-called Great Reces-sion officially ended in 2009, Shields said the economy is no longer in “recovery” mode.

“This is as good as it’s going to get for a while,” Shields predicted.

Despite steady job growth, unemploy-ment across the state remains relatively high because of the influx of new resi-dents, Shields said, adding that business-es that concentrate on administrative and support services — temporary staff-ing agencies — continue to be the leading growth sector.

“That means companies are still not convinced the recovery has taken hold and are willing to bring employees on full-time,” he said.

Forecasting 26,000 to 30,000 new jobs will be created in the Denver area during 2014, pushing down the unemployment rate to 5.9 percent, Shields tempered his otherwise upbeat comments.

Man to stand trial for chaseSeven-day jury trial set for AprilBy Chris [email protected]

CJ Galley, the man facing 35 charges stemming from a lengthy police chase that ended in Parker, will stand trial in April.

The 23-year-old Northglenn man, who police say fired a gun at pursuing officers while driving, has been charged with at-tempted first-degree murder, among many other counts, from the chase in February.

Douglas County District Court Judge Richard Caschette scheduled a seven-day trial to start at 8:45 a.m. April 8 at the Rob-ert A. Christensen Justice Center in Castle Rock. A motions hearing, which enables attorneys from both sides to argue for and against the inclusion of evidence for trial, was set for 9 a.m. Feb. 21. Galley has plead-ed not guilty.

Prosecutors are gathering files, includ-ing audio and video, from the Adams County Sheriff’s Office as they build a case against Galley’s alleged co-conspirator, Da-vid Vasquez, 24. Additional charges could be filed against Vasquez, who will appear at a preliminary hearing at 1:30 p.m. March

13 in Castle Rock. He al-ready faces three counts of attempted first-degree murder, vehicular eluding, two counts of possession of a weapon by a previous of-fender and theft by receiv-ing.

During a hearing in Au-gust, Douglas County Court Judge Susanna Meissner-Cutler cited “overwhelming evidence” in her decision to allow the case to go to a jury.

The chase started in a Taco Bell drive-thru in Castle Rock when police tried to arrest Galley on a warrant for assaulting an officer. Investigators say he rammed police vehicles and put the public in danger as he led authorities north on Crowfoot Valley Road. Galley allegedly swerved at officers who had placed spike strips on the road in an effort to stop the pursuit. Prosecutors for the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s office accused Vasquez of helping Galley navigate his way to Parker.

The chase ended in the early morning hours in Clarke Farms, a quiet neighbor-hood that awakened to the sounds of a police helicopter, sirens and K-9 units. Gal-ley, Vasquez and a 19-year-old female were taken into custody, but the woman has not been charged. She suffered a gunshot wound, the only injury in the chase.

Towns shift animal shelter service southContract with Buddy Center means shorter drives for pet ownersBy Jane [email protected]

Retrieving an impounded dog is rarely a pleasant task, but new Lone Tree and Parker contracts should re-move at least some of the hassle — and save taxpayers money.

Officials in both communities now impound stray and loose pets at the Buddy Center in Castle Rock instead of the Humane Society of the South Platte Valley shelter.

The Littleton shelter is more than 15 miles from Lone Tree and 22 from Parker on a route of often-congested urban streets. The Buddy Center, lo-cated off of Founders Parkway, is about 11 miles from Lone Tree and 12 from Parker.

Lone Tree and Parker are joining an intergovernmental agreement for

the services already in place between Douglas County government and the DDFL, which operates the Buddy Center. The change saves both mu-nicipalities money, and police officers and residents time and gas.

“Moving to the Buddy Center and entering into an IGA with the county is probably going to save us right around $13,600,” Parker Police Operations Capt. Jim Tsurapas said. “It’s a pretty big savings for us, and it’s a lot closer for the residents to be able to drive for their impounded animals.”

The Parker Town Council likely will vote on the change in January and Tsurapas expects the proposal to pass.

The Lone Tree City Council already approved the change, doing so during its Dec. 17 meeting.

Lone Tree’s contract with the South Platte Valley shelter cost the city about $5,500 annually. The new agreement will cost $1,800, a savings of about $3,700.

In 2012, Douglas County paid the DDFL $93,106 for animal sheltering and impoundment services. That cost

will increase somewhat with the ad-dition of the two communities, but county leaders don’t expect it will be significant.

Adding Lone Tree and Parker to the contract is only logical, said Maureen Waller, project manager with Douglas County Government.

“It works out well for all of us,” she said. “It’s a significant savings for both Parker and Lone Tree.

“And it’s a lot better for our resi-dents. Driving to Castle Rock is a lot better than to Belleview and Santa Fe.”

The Town of Castle Rock already uses the Buddy Center, Waller said, which means the county entities now are part of a common agreement.

The Buddy Center is located off I-25 and Founders Parkway at 4556 Castleton Court. It is a sister facility to the larger Denver Dumb Friends League shelter on Quebec Street. Last year, DDFL adopted, reunited or transferred 16,762 pets.

Lone Tree police transport between 20 and 25 injured, lost or neglected pets annually to the animal shelter.

news in a hurryLearn to ice fish

Get out of the house, into the cold and participate in one of The Wildlife Experience’s hands-on ice fishing workshops this winter start-ing Dec. 28.

The Wildlife Experience will offer monthly ice fishing workshops that will begin with a one-hour class-room skills session at the museum, followed by an off-site fishing ex-perience at a local lake. The classes will be taught by professional ice fishing guides from Lake Ice USA. Class dates are: Dec. 28, Jan. 18, Feb. 8, and March 8. Workshops run from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.

All ice fishing gear, bait and tackle will be provided. Participants will need to dress for the weather, with warm boots being especially important. It is also recommended to bring sunscreen, water and a folding chair. To register, call 720-488-3344.

The off-site lake location is determined by weather and fishing conditions and will be announced prior to the workshop. Registration fees are $20 for museum members and $23 for non-members. Pro-ceeds from the workshops support the educational programs of The Wildlife Experience.

Town offers Christmas tree recyclingThe Town of Parker will host its

annual Christmas Tree Recycling Program from Dec. 26 through Jan. 26, 2014. This year’s drop-off site will again be the east paved parking lot near the Salisbury Park ball-fields, at 11920 Motsenbocker Road. The service is available to Parker residents only.

Both green and flocked real trees are accepted. Before dropping off any Christmas trees, remove all plastic tarps, tree stands and nails, ornaments, lights, garland and tinsel.

No artificial trees, garland or wreathes with wire backing will be accepted. Drop off during park hours only, 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. The trees collected by the program will be chipped into mulch, which will be available at no charge to residents around the first week in January.

Remaining mulch will be uti-lized throughout the town and not discarded in a landfill.

Residents should not place Christmas trees in garbage contain-ers. Keeping trees out of the land-fills helps extend the life of landfills and produces a useful resource. Contact the Town of Parker at 303-840-9546 with further questions.

Seedling trees available at low costThe Douglas County Conserva-

tion District is offering seedling

trees at a nominal cost on a first-come, first-served basis to be planted for conservation uses.

The uses include creating wind-breaks and shelterbelts, living snow fences, erosion control, wildlife habitat, and reforestation.

The district is also hosting a windbreak workshop in Franktown on Jan. 15, which will focus on recommended tree species, plant-ing and care for seedlings, and windbreak design for properties. To attend, RSVP to the district office at 303-688-3042 ext. 100.

The trees sell out quickly, and county residents are instructed get their order in soon.

Landowners (no minimum acre-age requirement to order trees) can pre-order trees from the Douglas County Conservation District. There are a wide variety of species available such as bare root shrubs and trees, 6- to 12-foot deciduous and coniferous trees, and individual potted evergreen trees with a top height of 18 feet.

Contact Pam Brewster at the Douglas County Conservation Dis-trict at [email protected] for an order form.

The deadline for ordering trees is March 28, and the trees will be available to be picked up on April 15 in Castle Rock in time for spring planting.

8-Opinion

What is your new year’s resolution?We asked people at the Tattered Cover in Highlands Ranch what new year’s resolution they had in mind.

“Time management, work-life balance with kids.” — Dawn Schilling, Highlands Ranch

“It’s silly, in my opinion, to make a resolution at one point in the year, when I already make resolutions all year long.” — Lindsey Lauer, Highlands Ranch

“Find a home. (I’m condo shopping.)” — Yvette Jackson, Greenwood Village

“I’m going to try to keep my grade point average at 4.0.” — Morgan Moen, Parker

question of the week Middle-of-the-week holidayIt’s always a little awkward or confusing

for some companies and for many people when Christmas and New Year’s fall in the middle of the week like they will this year.

For some of us we just assume that the whole week is a holiday and just can’t get our head around the work-related stuff. And for others, we still try and squeeze in every last minute of work or shopping that we possibly can right up until Christmas Eve and even New Year’s Eve.

People take personal time off of work; some companies plan for the slowdown or even shutdown, and in some cases pro-ductivity, both personally and profession-ally, takes a holiday too. And that is okay. For many, this is a time of year to recharge the personal batteries and get excited about the coming New Year.

The awkward or confusing part comes in those in-between days. As both holi-days fall on a Wednesday, what happens on that Thursday, Dec. 26th through that following Friday, Jan. 3rd? For some people it is not a question or an issue. People who provide us with exceptional service in the retail, restaurant and tourism industries know that their days will be filled with opportunities to serve customers, solve problems and create loyal fans.

And, of course, there are other compa-nies, businesses and services that need to be open during this time as well, and we are especially grateful for those doctors, nurses, police officers, fire fighters and other state government and local workers who make sure we are safe and that we have power and energy to heat and light our homes.

I think as I have talked to people about this topic, some are still undecided as to how they will use their personal or business time. You see it’s easy when the holidays fall on a weekend or close to the weekend as we just turn those into what

has become known as the long weekend. But boy, that whole middle-of-the-week thing causes quite a conundrum for some people. It feels like we should be on vaca-tion or we just lack the motivation to get beyond anything other than the festivities and parties.

For me, I generally take off the time between Christmas and New Year’s regard-less of what day it falls on. I do use the time to get recharged, plan for next year, and make sure I am in alignment with my family, my faith, my fitness and my friends. I re-evaluate my goals, near-term and long-term, to make sure that I am always stretching myself and balancing my life goals with my business goals. And I use this time to connect intimately and socially with those that matter most in my life.

What will you be doing between the holidays? Whether you are working or not, relaxing or keeping busy, or serving others as a volunteer or other way, I hope that you find a little extra “you” time as you close out 2013 and enter 2014. I would love to hear all about it at [email protected] and I wish you all a better than Merry Christmas and joyous New Year!

Seabiscuit’s bad blue brotherMy painting of a dog doesn’t look very

much like a dog, unless there is a new rec-tilinear breed. Even so, the collector wrote from northern California to tell me that his granddaughter pointed at it and said, “Poppy, I wish that was a real doggie that I could have.”

Some artists rarely abstract their refer-ences at all. Dürer and da Vinci are good examples. Van Gogh didn’t really abstract his subjects very much. His abstractions can be found in his unusual technique. He com-pounded individual daubs of paint, and each stroke stood out. He didn’t blend paint the way Dürer did.

Think about Picasso’s portraits. Both eyes might be on the same side of the head, like a flounder’s eyes. That is considered an extreme abstraction.

When I was painting and drawing images, I was closer to Picasso on an abstraction scale. I enjoyed reinventing eyes and noses and mouths.

Then there is this “Blue Mustang” out at the airport. You can’t miss it.

Its abstractions consist of its color. Horses aren’t blue. And its eyes, horses don’t have red light bulbs in them.

Maybe night mares look like this. A night mare is not the same thing as a nightmare. A night mare would be a female horse who stayed out late.

By definition, the word `nightmare’ derives from the Old English `mare,’ a mythological demon or goblin who torments human beings with frightening dreams.

The mustang is not exactly a goodwill am-bassador. Well, maybe it is, if you like to see the Headless Horseman’s horse before you fly to Cleveland. I would rather not do either.

Sculptor Luis Jimenez was an exceptional artist. I wish I knew why he proposed a horse for the airport commission. Give me any-thing else, a genuflecting penguin, instead of another horse around here. W. C. Fields would have said, “Pardon my redundancy.”

Everyone doesn’t have a degree in art, but everyone has a degree in art criticism. The horse has been embraced and the horse has been denounced. I think we are stuck with

it, since the five-year probationary period passed without an organized attempt to have it relocated.

For Denver’s Commission on Cultural Affairs to take action to remove it, a petitioner would have to demonstrate èxtreme adverse public reaction’ over an extended period of time. That didn’t happen by the time the horse’s window closed on Feb. 11, 2013.

There is a big difference between choos-ing to see a work of art in a museum, and having one in your face. That’s what public art is. Sometimes it is a moment of unex-pected wonderment, and sometimes it can be disturbing. Both can be enlightening.

If you plan to see an Edward Hopper at the Art Institute, you know exactly what to expect. But public art can sneak up on you, and it can feel like a prank. Seabiscuit’s bad blue brother is neither very literal, nor very inventive. Be one or the other.

Then-Denver Post art critic, Kyle MacMil-lan, thought that the horse was “nothing short of a masterpiece, a monumental public work in which Denver, and indeed the entire region, can be justifiably proud.”

MacMillan and I didn’t always agree. In a review (March 9, 2008) he wrote, “Jimenez’s depiction is highly realistic and anatomically correct, with the musculature and even some blood vessels clearly outlined on the horse’s body.”

If it were highly realistic, good. But it’s not. If it were as creative as Franz Marc’s “Large Blue Horses,” good. It’s not. I see a horse that ran away from a carousel and Hulked.

opinions / yours and ours

Crucial to take time to heal after tragedyAfter the horror that hit Arapahoe High

School on Dec. 13, it’s natural to look for answers.

Why did Karl Pierson do it? Why Claire Davis? Why this community? So many ques-tions, so much pain. The answers, as with all school shootings, are slow in coming, if they ever come at all.

Discussions about guns, school security and mental health are prevalent following school shootings, and this one is no different.

They are healthy discussions to have, and eventually, solutions can evolve from them. For example, emergency response in an

active-shooter situation is undoubtedly bet-ter now than it was pre-Columbine.

But today, with emotions still raw and Arapahoe students yet to return to class, we think it is appropriate to focus on the healing process.

The Arapahoe/Douglas Mental Health

Network has some tips for parents whose children have been in traumatic situations.

“During times of tragedy, our children will look to us as their parents and caregivers to determine how they should be respond-ing,” said Laurie Elliott, the network’s clinical director.

“Therefore, it is critical that we take care of ourselves so that we may remain calm and regulated in order to support our children, our community.”

Taking care of yourself, the network says, includes limiting alcohol and caffeine; talk-ing with other adults and seeking support;

getting enough rest; and holding off on mak-ing any major decisions.

When it comes time for parents to talk with their children, the network recom-mends:

• Encouraging kids to talk about it.• Being a good listener. In fact, listen twice

as much as you talk.• Providing information in a clear, but

age-appropriate manner.• Limiting media exposure.• Maintaining the normal rules of the

household, like chores and curfews.Take care of yourself and your children.

Middle schooler struggles with MS Highlands Ranch mom calls her son’s � ght ‘inspiring’ By Jane Reuter [email protected]

Rickey Cooper has spent much of the last several months feeling numb from the chest down, enduring pain so intense his mother has packed him in ice to diffuse it.

The 13-year-old Highlands Ranch boy, diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, still at-tends classes at Mountain Ridge Middle School. A former football player, Rickey uses a walker to travel the school’s hallways, and pauses four times each day to ingest the oxycodone that dulls the pain to a man-ageable level.

To help out, the school held a Dec. 13 spaghetti dinner and silent auction fund-raiser for Rickey and his mother, Nicky. It also has set up an online donation oppor-tunity through the school website.

The teenager is her only child, and Nicky is a single, working mom with minimal fam-ily support but bottomless determination.

“The one thing I want in life is to put my kid back together again; I’ll do whatever it takes to do that,” Nicky said. “Nobody has the cure. But what I want Rickey to know more than anything is that he’s such an in-spiration in how much he fi ghts. I want him to be recognized for being awesome.”

Rickey’s health problems fi rst surfaced at age 6, when he told his mom he was see-ing double.

“His neurologist said to me, Ì believe this little guy’s got MS. But we’re going to hope this never ever happens to him again’,” Nicky remembered. “He suffered from migraine headaches for a long time (after that). But other than that, I was hop-ing we made it under the radar.”

In September, Rickey came home from football practice with another jarring re-port: His feet were numb.

“He’s not much of a complainer. He doesn’t like anybody to know he’s not strong,” Nicky said. “I felt like somebody

hit me over the head with something. I thought, Òh God, I wonder if he’s having a relapse.’ ”

The next day, Rickey’s legs were numb from the knees down. By the time he reached the hospital, the numbness had ex-tended to his chest, and there it largely has stayed.

An MRI revealed lesions on his verte-brae.

Rickey returned to school in a wheel-chair and has since advanced to a walker.

His future is unknown.

“We asked them if he will ever not be numb and tingly from the chest down, and they said it may go away and may get better, but it may not ever,” Nicky said.

Nicky credits her neighbors and school community for helping her through the last few months.

“It’s been so bad you don’t even know what you need,” she said.

When a Mountain Ridge staff member called to ask if they could help the family celebrate Christmas, Nicky initially resisted.

“It hadn’t even dawned on me that

Christmas was coming,” she said. “I am a single mom, but I don’t ever want to pull that card. But I realized I need to put my own feelings aside and remember that would help and be good for Rickey.”

Though Rickey’s ordeal is not over, he and his mom already are turning their thoughts outward.

“He has a little notebook he keeps all his notes in (about the experience),” Nicky said. “It’s a sad little story at the moment. But someday, we’re going to help somebody else through this.”

State � nances don’t inspire optimism Economist addresses crowd at South Metro Chamber By Jennifer Smith [email protected]

The state of Colorado has taken a few steps back from the edge of the fi nancial cliff, but researchers say it’s not entirely out of danger of falling off.

“There’s not truly cause for optimism,” Phyllis Resnick, lead economist with Colora-do State University’s Colorado Futures Center, told business and community leaders at the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce on Dec. 10. “We’ve delayed some of the in-evitable, but we haven’t really gotten rid of the problem.”

The good news is that the center predicts a budget gap in 2024 of nearly half of what it expected in its 2011 study, which was about $3.5 billion. CFC said at the time that by then, there would only be enough in the state’s cof-fers to pay for Medicaid, K-12 education and corrections — just enough to “medicate, edu-cate and incarcerate,” said Resnick.

Federal stimulus money and a robust housing recovery helped delay the pain, said Resnick.

“Revenues have come back kind of on ste-roids,” she said. “But I think this is artifi cially stimulated. I expect sales-tax revenue to con-tinue to decline.”

The bad news is that the shortfall is still probably going to happen, but not until 2029 or so.

There are a lot of reasons, but a major one is an aging population that spends more money on services, which are not taxed, than prod-ucts. In 1959, people spent about 56 cents of every dollar on goods; today it’s just 36 cents. Things continue to get cheaper — think elec-tronics — and people more often are buying online, where there is no sales tax.

Additionally, the recession and record-high youth unemployment rates kept a lot of young adults from moving out and starting their own families, so they don’t need houses and fur-niture and all the trappings of the American dream quite yet. They’re also not having kids,

which means lower spending on education in the coming years — good news for the state budget, bad news for the schools.

Those kids have been going to college, however. Student-loan debt is now $1 trillion nationally, second only to housing in terms of household debt.

These are the same kids who were sup-posed to prop up Medicaid and Social Secu-rity for all those seniors, the numbers of which will grow by 50 percent in the next two years.

On top of all those problems, most of which are occurring nationally, Colorado has the unique situation of TABOR. The consti-tutional amendment caps revenue growth to the amount of infl ation plus population change, and requires any excess be returned to taxpayers unless voters say the governmen-tal entity can keep it.

CFC predicts having an excess will be the norm starting in about 2016 because of Colo-rado’s hospital-provider fee, established in 2009 to pay for the Medicaid expansion.

“The juxtaposition of cuts in general-fund programs, which could include cuts to schools, higher education and a variety of other programs, at the same time the state is returning `surplus’ funds to taxpayers under TABOR, will be puzzling to many Colorado citizens,” writes CFC in its executive summary.

The state could begin to close the gap by exempting the hospital fee from TABOR and taxing some personal services like haircuts and lawn mowing, for example, says Resnick.

“Why not modernize the system to cap-ture where the economic activity is taking place?” she asked. “If we could make these two changes, we could come pretty close to becoming structurally sound through the end of this decade.”

Next up would be taking a hard look at how property taxes are calculated in an effort to shore up the education system, she said.

“Inaction, of course, would bring about a strictly budget-cutting solution,” reads the study. “The cuts would be extreme. For ex-ample, closing the gap with cuts alone, while maintaining full funding for K-12, Medicaid and corrections, would result in cuts of nearly 75 percent to all of the other 17 general-fund departments by 2030.”

nationwide. The magazine cited ongoing training, security protocols and a close partnership with local law-enforcement agencies as reasons for the high ranking.

At least 10 agencies — even Colorado Parks and Wildlife — responded to the scene at Arapahoe High School. The Englewood Police Department was among the respond-ing agencies.

Response changes have paid offPointed criticism of the handling of the

Columbine High School massacre forced law enforcement officials to rethink every

procedure they had in place. In the 14 years since, police and fire departments have completely overhauled communications systems and revised tactics.

The directive for first-responders to elim-inate the threat right away, with or without back-up officers, came from lessons learned in previous shootings, especially Colum-bine. That tactical change has proven effec-tive, and the swift end to the Arapahoe High School shooting is a perfect example, said Sgt. Andy Coleman, public information of-ficer for the Parker Police Department.

Previous rules for dealing with an assail-ant are almost laughable, like the use of col-ored cards by teachers who were instructed to lock the door and slide the cards under-neath to let police know the condition of those inside. Green meant everything was

OK, red meant help was needed, Coleman said.

Policies and procedures continue to be tweaked based on de-briefings that analyze the performance of officers in realistic train-ing scenarios. The Parker Police Depart-ment, which sent three officers and a super-visor to Arapahoe High School the moment the call went out, participates in at least two active-shooter drills every year with neigh-boring agencies.

Interagency partnerships have become a crucial tool in making sure adjacent juris-dictions are on the same page in an emer-gency. Mutual aid protocol at a scene re-quires “fairly close control,” with everyone checking into a command post, Robinson said.

Coleman says the assistance, particularly

when an officer from another department might be able to respond quicker, can make all the difference.

“It would be crazy to say we could handle it by ourselves,” he said. “There’s no way.”

With so many people converging on one area, a well-coordinated response depends largely on uniform policies, full-scale re-hearsals and, perhaps most importantly, a tried-and-tested communications system that enables responders to be as effective as possible.

“The communications system func-tioned exactly as we expected it to,” Robin-son said. “We put a lot of time and resourc-es to make sure we were inter-operable throughout the metro area. Our capability was tested and we passed with flying col-ors.”

Stories of heroism emergeMedics rush in despite dangerBy Chris [email protected]

As Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson puts it, “there was a lot of hero-ism” that went into preventing further bloodshed at Arapahoe High School.

There is the custodian who sent out the first alert that an armed student was enter-ing the building. There is Tracy Murphy, the librarian and debate team coach who exited the school after finding out he was the tar-get. And there is Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Deputy James Englert, the school resource officer who challenged the threat, possibly causing the shooter to turn the gun on him-self instead of continuing to fire at others.

When the cloud of confusion clears, it’s typical for a handful of stories to emerge. Sadly, some go untold. Here’s one that won’t:

Stationed two blocks away from the school were Littleton Fire Rescue firefight-er/emergency medical technician Josh Meneses, paramedic firefighters Ryan Mar-tin and Scott Osman, firefighter Erik Ether-idge and Capt. Richard Taylor. They got to the scene seconds after the arrival of the first Arapahoe County sheriff’s deputy.

Without knowing where the shooter was or even how many shooters were present, Martin, Osman and Etheridge entered the building in search of a wounded female stu-dent. The deputy, with his weapon drawn, provided initial cover for the unarmed medics as they scrambled to get to Claire Davis. The 17-year-old had been shot in the head from point-blank range, and it was obvious that she needed immediate medi-

cal attention.Meanwhile, Meneses removed the

stretcher and readied medical supplies in the ambulance. He estimates the crew was at Arapahoe High School for less than two minutes.

“Since there was an active shooter, they said they wanted us to get off scene,” Men-eses said, “so our job was to load her up and get her out of there as quick as possible.”

He drove the three minutes to Littleton Adventist Hospital while relaying informa-tion about the patient’s condition to emer-gency room staff. Meneses was later told by a doctor that the forewarning enabled the hospital to get seven surgeons ready for the patient’s arrival.

The firefighters and EMTs didn’t know the shooter was already dead when they entered. Their bravery, talent and readi-ness for the situation was “very apparent”

at Arapahoe High School, said John Mullin, chief of Littleton Fire Rescue.

“They demonstrated sound decision-making and discipline under extreme stress,” Mullin said. “I could not be more proud to be a member of this organization.”

Training played a large part in the suc-cess of the operation. Littleton Fire Rescue participates in drills alongside nearby po-lice and fire agencies, including an active-shooter drill in Englewood in early Novem-ber.

They hoped the moment would never come, that they would never have to put their knowledge to use in a real-life situa-tion. But when it did happen, in the face of grave danger, they were prepared.

“It was one of those above-and-beyond calls that happens once or twice in your ca-reer,” Meneses said. “Everything went like we would have trained.”

Shortly after that posting, the hospital relayed a message from the Davis family, which, in part, stated: “Although we have lost our precious daughter, we will always be grateful for the indelible journey she took us on over the last 17 years — we were truly blessed to be Claire’s parents. The grace, laughter and light she brought to this world will not be extinguished by her death; to the contrary, it will only get stronger.”

Davis, who loved horses and the boy-band One Direction, was a senior at Arap-ahoe.

Authorities believe she just happened to be near the north entrance to the school used by Pierson as he made his charge to the library in search of his pri-mary target, the coach of the speech and debate team.

The shotgun-wielding Pierson killed himself in the library about a minute af-ter shooting Davis.

Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson said the two knew each other, but likely not well, and that there is no evidence she was a target of Pierson’s.

“As the result of discussions with the Davis family and friends of Claire Davis, it is clear that Claire and the shooter were school acquaintances, but were never close friends,” Robinson said in a Dec. 18 news release.

Over the weekend, Davis’ family an-nounced the establishment of the Arapa-hoe High School Community Fund hon-oring Claire Davis. The charitable fund will “support Arapahoe High School and the surrounding community by providing assistance for mental health care, anti-bullying programs and other community needs,” according to a statement by the City of Centennial.

Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper posted a statement on his Facebook page the night of Davis’ death, offering his

condolences.“Claire Davis personified the love and

kindness she learned from her family,” he wrote. “All of Colorado feels that. They are

in our hearts.”Littleton Adventist said information

regarding a public celebration of Davis’ life will be announced at a future date.

statement from the davis family

The following statement from Claire Davis’ family was posted Dec. 21 on Littleton Adventist Hospital’s Facebook page:

It is with unspeakable sadness that we write and say that Claire has passed away from the gunshot wound she received at Arapahoe High School on De-cember 13, 2013. Although we have lost our precious daughter, we will always be grateful for the indelible journey she took us on over the last 17 years — we were truly blessed to be Claire’s parents. The grace, laughter and light she brought to this world will not be extinguished by her death; to the contrary, it will only get stronger.

Last week was truly a paradox in that we lost our daughter, yet we witnessed the wonderful love that exists in the world through the tremendous outpour-

ing of support we received. We’d like to take this op-portunity to thank the first responders, the school resource officer, security guard and vice principal at Arapahoe High School, the Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s office, and the physicians, nurses and staff at Little-ton Adventist Hospital. Each played a significant role in giving Claire a chance to live, and demonstrated ex-treme amounts of professionalism, courage and love. Please know that we will never forget the extraordi-nary work you did on Claire’s behalf.

We ask that you give us time to grieve the death of our daughter by respecting our wishes for privacy.

With much loving-kindness, The Davis Family


Claire

‘Warrior Strong’ shirts benefit Davis fundBy Jennifer [email protected]

If Jeff Wasden had not opened PROfor-mance Apparel eight years ago, he might well have been inside Arapahoe High School on Dec. 13 when shots rang out.

Wasden taught at Newton Middle School for several years, and had just ac-cepted the position of dean of students at AHS when the deal for his business came through.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with the family, the students, the staff and the com-munity, and we’re honored to be part of that family,” he said on Dec. 19.

To show that pride, Wasden is offering “Warrior Strong” T-shirts to the communi-ty for $15 each, of which about $12 is going to the Claire Davis fund at First Bank. Da-

vis was shot in the head at Arapahoe High on Dec. 13. She died Dec. 21 after more than a week in critical condition.

“We’re delighted to participate with the kids from Arapahoe who created this con-cept,” he said.

The shirts are white and feature a bow in gold and black, the school’s colors, and the date of the shooting, “12.13.13” There’s a large, black “A” with the word “Arapahoe” inside, and the words “Warrior Strong” in bold, black letters.

The school is named for the Arapaho Native Americans, and the tribe maintains a close relationship with the school. For-mer Principal Ron Booth reached out to the Wind River Indian Reservation in Wyo-ming in 1993, in the midst of a slew of mas-cot controversies around the country. Trib-al elders decided AHS was place deserving

of their respect and endorsed the school’s “Arapahoe Warrior” mascot, which was de-signed by Arapaho artist Wilbur Antelope.

Members of the tribe visit every other year. In March 2012, Darrell Lonebear said the AHS students are champions to the Arapaho Tribal Nation.

“I can tell warrior pride here at this high school is strong, and the energy we feel here is great,” he said.

Wasden said the kids he’s working with on the T-shirts are doing OK, that they’re resilient and strong.

“They’re showing a great deal of love and support and care for each other,” he said. They’re helping make the shirts, even going to his store in the middle of the night to help get orders out.

Wasden estimates more than 2,000 shirts have been purchased, which means

about $24,000 for the Claire Davis fund. The Davis family has asked that dona-tions in Claire’s honor go to TLC Meals on Wheels or the Littleton Hospital Founda-tion to support mental-health awareness and support programs.

“Difficult times allow people to show their colors,” said Wasden, adding that he’s proud of the kids, the staff and the whole community.

“There’s no reason to worry about who we’re handing the world over to,” he said. “They’re going to be in better shape than we are.”

T-shirts are available at PROformance in the Broadridge Shopping Center at 6905 S. Broadway, or at www.warriorstrong-shirts.com. You can donate directly to the fund at First Bank, 2323 E. Arapahoe Road, Centennial, Colo. 80122.

A dream of springtimeWinter exhibits, classes at Denver Botanic GardensBy Sonya [email protected]

Memories of visits to the Frick Conservatory in Pitts-burgh and then to Boettcher Conservatory at the Denver Bo-tanic Gardens over many years relate to a favorite winter ritual — one that helps make spring and new vegetation come into one’s consciousness sooner. The Boettcher visit can be en-hanced this winter by visiting several art exhibits — and per-haps enrolling in a botanical il-lustration class. DBG is accred-ited as a museum as well as a garden.

Graduates from the School of Botanical Art and Illustra-tion are displaying a selection

of works from their portfolios through Feb. 9 in the El Pomar Room. The ongoing school of-fers nearly 200 courses and

workshops through the year — in various mediums and at varying levels of difficulty; in traditional and newer tech-

niques. Visit the DBG website to check on availability and schedules.

Also through Feb. 9 in the Gates Garden Court Gallery, there is a juried exhibition of national and international professional illustrators called “Plants, Birds and Pollinators: Art Serving Science.” It aims to bring attention to the impor-tance of pollinators in our eco-logical cycles — everywhere in

Ponderosa player comes up big in postWyoming-bound Barnes still a student of gameBy Jim [email protected]

Every time Jonathan Barnes pulls down a rebound or wheels toward the basket his potential surfaces.

The 6-foot-11 senior may be cap-tain on the Ponderosa basketball team but he’s a neophyte on the court.

He is playing in only his third year of competitive basketball but has at-tracted interest from major colleges. Barnes signed a letter of intent in November to continue his basketball education at the University of Wyo-ming and admits he was surprised that he drew the attention of college recruiters.

“It was very surprising,” said Barnes. “It was very, very humbling to see that the hours the coaches had spent in the gym with me paid off. That means a lot to me. It means a lot to our program. It shows that if you work hard and listen to your coaches you have a chance as long as you keep your head down and don’t look back.”

Ponderosa coach Mike Gibbs met Barnes at a Parker gym.

“I was at a rec gym, working out, playing and I though he was in col-lege,” recalled Gibbs. “He was a homeschooled kid. He was home-schooling in Douglas County and he decided to play at Ponderosa.

“He came in green but we work weekly on his skill development so he can have more success on the court but he still has a long way to go. ... All things considered he has come a long way. He has his spells of going back to being green but he works hard and he doesn’t quit. He is getting better daily. His basketball IQ and skills are rising.”

Barnes grew 13 inches before his sophomore season and he is still growing.

Seno sizes up opposing speedstersThunderRidge senior named tops on defenseBy By Jim [email protected]

Any author seeking for a prototype for his or her next spy fiction novel should have watched Tyler Seno on the football field.

Seno, the middle linebacker for the Thunder-Ridge football team, was a good spy this fall follow-ing fleet-footed opposing quarterbacks and run-ning backs.

“When there was a really good running back it would be my responsibility to follow him around the field a lot and I’d be a quarterback spy a lot of times for quarterbacks who like to run,” explained Seno. “But, it was a team thing. I couldn’t have done what I did without the defensive line and the DBs behind me.”

What Seno, the 6-foot, 195 pound senior, did was more than enough to be selected as Colorado Com-munity Media’s South Metro Defensive Player of the Year, edging out Legend junior Keegan Andersen, Chaparral senior Keenan Foshe and Valor Christian senior Justin Falls, all of whom are also linebackers.

“He was our leading tackler by a two to one mar-gin,” said ThunderRidge coach Joe Johnson. “He was really good in space, a kid that could really run. He was real active and the most athletic linebacker we’ve had.”

Seno has a knack of always being around the ball and was the leading tackler in the Continental League with 127 tackles, or 9.8 per game. He fin-ished the season with four sacks, two interceptions,

Ponderosa player comes up big in postWyoming-bound Barnes still a student of gameBy Jim [email protected]

Every time Jonathan Barnes pulls down a rebound or wheels toward the basket his potential surfaces.

The 6-foot-11 senior may be cap-tain on the Ponderosa basketball team but he’s a neophyte on the court.

He is playing in only his third year of competitive basketball but has at-tracted interest from major colleges. Barnes signed a letter of intent in November to continue his basketball education at the University of Wyo-ming and admits he was surprised that he drew the attention of college recruiters.

“It was very surprising,” said Barnes. “It was very, very humbling to see that the hours the coaches had spent in the gym with me paid off. That means a lot to me. It means a lot to our program. It shows that if you work hard and listen to your coaches you have a chance as long as you keep your head down and don’t look back.”

Ponderosa coach Mike Gibbs met Barnes at a Parker gym.

“I was at a rec gym, working out, playing and I though he was in col-lege,” recalled Gibbs. “He was a homeschooled kid. He was home-schooling in Douglas County and he decided to play at Ponderosa.

“He came in green but we work weekly on his skill development so he can have more success on the court but he still has a long way to go. ... All things considered he has come a long way. He has his spells of going back to being green but he works hard and he doesn’t quit. He is getting better daily. His basketball IQ and skills are rising.”

Barnes grew 13 inches before his sophomore season and he is still growing.

“I’d always been bigger than ev-eryone else, I really wanted to play but there was just stuff going on in my family,” explained Barnes. “My family is really big in the ministry within our extended family and we had some sickness within our ex-tended family. It would have been too difficult for me to compete in sports and also be home for my aunt who got sick.

“I started playing pickup at Life-time Fitness down in Parker and met a bunch of guys. They said, ‘you’ve never played basketball?’ I said `no I really hadn’t’. They said, `you’ve got to go play high school basketball.’ I was fortunate enough to meet coach Gibbs. And the rest is history.”

The rest included a lot of hard work.

“It was hard at first,” said Barnes. “The toughest thing for me was real-ly becoming aggressive. Something I

still have trouble with is being super aggressive. A lot of it is being such a big guy. I am actually kind of soft.”

Barnes scored at a 14.9 pont per game clip and hit 65 percent of his field goal attempts as a junior, also averaging 9.5 rebounds a game. In five games this season, he is averag-ing 11.5 points, 14.3 rebounds and 2.1 blocked shots a game and shoot-ing over 50 percent from the floor.

“My basketball skills are very ru-dimentary so I have to try to not do too much,” admitted Barnes. “Be-ing thrown in the game like this, with this being my third year play-ing varsity, playing at all, I pick up lot of different things all the time with the amount of time coach has spent with me.

“So just keeping the game sim-ple, that’s the biggest thing I have to learn. It seems super simple but when you have a chance to put up

a jump shot instead of going to the basket, learning to be patient and seeing the opportunities, that’s the biggest thing.”

In addition to Wyoming, some of the colleges that lined up to recruit Barnes included Pepperdine, Utah, Washington State, LaSalle, Belmont, Toledo, Wichita State and Northern Colorado.

“Jonathan was a late bloomer to everyone, including himself,” Wyo-ming coach Larry Shyatt said in a news release. “He started basketball late at Ponderosa High School and I give a great deal of credit to his coach Mike Gibbs who believed in Jona-than’s future.

“Every time he stepped on the floor last year he got better and bet-ter. When Allen (Edwards) and I saw him last summer in Indianapo-lis against one of the top players in America, it was obvious he has the qualities to become a stopper inside and someone capable at both ends of the floor.”

Gibbs envisions a promising fu-ture for Barnes.

“His upside is huge,” he said. “I’d like to see more aggression, realizing he is 6-11, 250 pounds so he can be more physical, more aggressive and be more of a presence. Also he needs to develop his outside game. We are working more on that in prepara-tion for college next year. It’s a work in progress but we want to make sure we get that stronger. He’s a team captain, he’s a good kid, he does a good job of keeping his teammates focused.”

Barnes said his outside game needs to improve.

“I’ve worked on that a lot espe-cially over the summer, just trying to see when it is advantageous to take inside shots versus outside shots,” he said. “That’s really going to be big in college.

“That is why I really have to be patient right now and take what I can get. Then as teams tend to push me out of the paint and put two or three guys on me, then I have to step out and take the jump shot.”

Seno sizes up opposing speedstersThunderRidge senior named tops on defenseBy By Jim [email protected]

Any author seeking for a prototype for his or her next spy fiction novel should have watched Tyler Seno on the football field.

Seno, the middle linebacker for the Thunder-Ridge football team, was a good spy this fall follow-ing fleet-footed opposing quarterbacks and run-ning backs.

“When there was a really good running back it would be my responsibility to follow him around the field a lot and I’d be a quarterback spy a lot of times for quarterbacks who like to run,” explained Seno. “But, it was a team thing. I couldn’t have done what I did without the defensive line and the DBs behind me.”

What Seno, the 6-foot, 195 pound senior, did was more than enough to be selected as Colorado Com-munity Media’s South Metro Defensive Player of the Year, edging out Legend junior Keegan Andersen, Chaparral senior Keenan Foshe and Valor Christian senior Justin Falls, all of whom are also linebackers.

“He was our leading tackler by a two to one mar-gin,” said ThunderRidge coach Joe Johnson. “He was really good in space, a kid that could really run. He was real active and the most athletic linebacker we’ve had.”

Seno has a knack of always being around the ball and was the leading tackler in the Continental League with 127 tackles, or 9.8 per game. He fin-ished the season with four sacks, two interceptions,

two fumble recoveries and two forced fumbles.“Being around the ball is something the people I

worked with all year stressed a lot,” said Seno. “They said college recruiters love to see kids around the ball. ... Some of being around the ball a lot is natural instinct to get there quickly and make the play.

“I’m just lucky enough to have the speed I have to get through gaps quickly and see the ball well. That helped me out a lot.”

Seno worked hard to prepare for his senior sea-son and hopes to play next fall at a Division II school or Colorado State University where he admits he has been dreaming about attending since he was a kid.

“I was really pleased with the season,” he said. “I worked all offseason with two different trainers that busted me really hard. I couldn’t be happier. I just got stronger, faster and gained some weight.

“I was definitely a lot better in taking on offen-sive linemen this year and got a lot faster. There were only a couple kids that could outrun me on the

field and that was pretty rare.”Seno learned in youth football that he was des-

tined to play as a defender.“I kind of got put on defense because I played

right tackle for my Mustangs team on offense and I was way too small to play right tackle,” confessed Seno. “I just said I might as well play defense be-cause I never played anywhere else on offense. I’m glad I made that choice.”

Economic Forecast Breakfast Sees Light at the End of a Long TunnelWith 2013 coming to an end and 2014 on the horizon, the economy

is steadily improving at a slow pace with the amount and pace of that improvement varying widely determined by where you live and how you make a living. This was one take-away listening to economic experts at last week’s 27th Annual Economic Forecast Breakfast held at the Hyatt Regency Denver Tech Center.

Over 750 South Metro Denver business leaders gathered to build on existing or create new business relationships, share their visions of the future and hear the latest on our local, regional, and national economy. Presenters included Dr. Rich Wobbekind, Executive Director of the Business Research Division and Senior Associate Dean for Academic Programs at the University of Colorado - Boulder; Dr. Martin Shields, Professor of Economics and Director of the Regional Economics Institute at Colorado State University; and Michael Wolf, economist for Wells Fargo Securities.

Ken Lund, Executive Director for the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade was also on hand to report on the state’s efforts on growing the current economy. Lund highlighted Gover-nor Hickenlooper’s Colorado Innovation Network (COIN) - the governor’s vision of branding Colorado for innovation and entrepreneurship. A video from the COIN Summit held last August included excerpts from presentations by Salman Khan, Founder of Khan Academy; Mary Grove, Director of Google Global Entrepreneurship Outreach; Hikmet Ersek, President and CEO of Western Union; and Mayor Michael Hancock on the importance of innovation and cre-ativity in building an economy.

Colorado’s envious business climate and talent pool was also not-ed. Colorado was hailed as the 2nd best state to start a business by CNBC, 2nd best state for entrepreneurship and innovation by Inc. Magazine, and the 2nd best state for high tech busi-ness according to TechAmerica. Forbes named Colorado the best state for labor supply last year, has the 2nd highest population with bachelors degree or higher, and is 3rd in high-tech employment by TechAmerica.

This all boils down to Colorado being a great place to build a career, and the way that is done is through growing business according to Lund. “We have 2.4 million employees in the state of Colorado. If we can get that grown by 10% - that’s 240,000 - it will blow Rich’s [Wobbekind] num-bers out of the water for 2014. So let’s go get it done.”

Dr. Wobbekind presented the state’s economic outlook for 2014 with an optimistic flair. Starting with an image of a beautiful Colorado scene and the title “Looking good...” the economist shared the facts that Colorado is among the top states for population growth and continues to bring in an impressive talent pool. Job growth continues to be broad-based with technical, construction and retail/wholesale trade show-ing the biggest gains. He noted that we have passed the pre-recession employment peak, and the wage peak is at an all-time high.

Wobbekind stated that Colorado has consistently been above the national average economically and will continue to be a role model for much of the country looking into the future. He saw no reason that the upward trend shouldn’t continue at a slow rate up until late in the decade when changing demographics will create a shortage in the workforce.

Dr. Shields agreed that we have recovered from the economic down-turn, but rejected continuing to use the term “recovery”. “Recovery is an interesting word. The recession ended in 2009 and we are still talking recovery 4½ years later... the use of ‘recovery’ suggests that this is going to be some kind of a rapid growth and we are not at that phase... this is as good as it’s going to get for a while. This is what it is.” His regional report echoed much of Dr. Wobbekind’s analysis, but emphasized that unem-ployment is still relatively high at 6.4% and real household income is at its lowest level in 17 years despite a growth in overall wages.

Shields went on to explain that the leading employment sectors along the front range include administration and support services and food and beverage workers which are on the low end of the wage scale. Temporary employment agencies are at a high in placement as com-panies are still not ready to put full-time workers in place. He believes this disconnect between economic growth and individual prosperity is creating a negative effect which will continue to be a drag on the regional economy.

The economist did predict that another 26,000 to 30,000 jobs will be created in 2014 and the unemployment rate will drop to 5.9% - still well above the pre-recession rate.

The macroeconomic view was presented by Michael Wolf showing that the nation’s GDP continues to grow modestly and consumers are slowly gaining more confidence. And while Colorado’s housing market is fairly stable at 9% negative equity, the national average is still at 14% with some states like Florida and Nevada still above 30%.

Household debt is beginning to decline, but much too slow to help those in the bottom of the economic scale and income is increasing, but again very slowly.

Wolf also sees the government’s debt and spending continuing to slow economic growth with the deficit shrinking too slowly to offset interest rates and international economic concerns.

Director of the South Metro Denver Economic Development Group, Jeff Holwell saw optimism through the slow growth. “We are enthusiastic about the year ahead. While we would love to see huge gains in job creation and growth, we will take slow and turn it to our advan-tage. We will work toward building our local and state economies through a conscious and deliberate effort which will keep us at the forefront of the coun-try’s continuing growth.”

The event was spon-sored by Wells Fargo and WhippleWood CPAs, both leaders in our community and representa-tive of the exceptional businesses the South Metro Chamber is proud to call partners.

High school journalists earn national awardMountain Vista’s news magazine features tough issues, quality workBy Jane [email protected]

Mountain Vista High School journalism students don’t shy away from tough sub-jects.

A 2012 story in the Eagle Eye news mag-azine detailed the struggles of a drug-ad-dicted student, including an admission he pawned his mother’s jewelry to help feed his habit.

Another revealed the difficulties faced by a student with epilepsy.

This year, staff members jumped into the spider web of issues facing the Douglas County School District. Students hosted a candidate forum and staff members attend every board meeting.

The National Scholastic Press Associa-tion noticed. It gave the Eagle Eye a Pace-maker Award — its highest honor — during the 2013 Fall National High School Journal-ism Convention.

“Our adviser always tells us, it’s all about the content,” said senior Taylor Blatchford, co-editor-in-chief. If you have great con-tent, you can’t really go wrong there.”

The school’s journalism program, called the VISTAj, includes the yearbook, a broad-

cast program and the news magazine.“We really dedicated ourselves to mak-

ing our program the best comprehensive (journalism) program we could,” Blatch-ford said. “But the magazine was where we could really display a lot of our great, in-depth feature writing and reporting.”

Blatchford intends to pursue a career

in journalism, but co-editors Wes Edwards and Dylan Ingram are leaning toward the legal field. Regardless of career choice, both the students and their adviser say the com-prehensive program teaches them invalu-able skills.

“The skills we are teaching in journalism are transferrable to every profession,” jour-

nalism teacher and VISTAj adviser Mark Newton said. “If they understand journal-ism, they understand freedom, democracy and the world. They understand that you have a voice, and if you use it responsibly, you’re going to make a difference in the world.”

Each edition of the Eagle Eye has a cen-tral theme, the students said, and stories are chosen based on quality.

“Whoever has written the best story and has the best pictures, theirs is the one that goes in,” Eagle Eye co-managing edi-tor Dylan Ingram said. “We’re dedicated to having the best product possible.”

Co-editor-in-chief Wes Edwards said winning the award was surreal.

“Journalism is one of those things that’s taken for granted at a lot of high schools,” he said, adding it was especially rewarding “to get recognition not only from our school and district, but from a bunch of other jour-nalists across the country who compared it to other (publications) and said, `These guys get it.’ ”

That’s not news to Newton, who won’t take credit for the award.

“I turn on the lights; I empower them and support them and advise them,” he said; the students do the rest. “They’re that good.”

Five Mountain Vista and two Legend students were separately recognized during a writing competition held at the conven-tion.

Students take leadership cue � ree-year program inspires future leaders By Jane Reuter [email protected]

Highlands Ranch High School student Cole Miller already has his career goals fi rmly in place. Youth Leadership Douglas County will help him get there, he believes.

“I want to be a lobbyist,” the junior said. “This helps most defi nitely with my inter-personal skills.”

Modeled after the adult Leadership Douglas County program and launched in 2006, YLDC is tailored to high school stu-dents. Most of them already have taken leadership roles in their schools, and seek to polish those skills as they prepare for adult life.

Students are chosen as sophomores by members of the junior-year YLDC class. Like the adult program, they participate in monthly day-long, experiential-based pro-grams during their junior and senior years of high school. They learn team building by taking on a ropes course, history through a visit to the Highlands Ranch Mansion, per-sonal fi nance with trips to car dealerships and furniture stores, and about govern-ment with a trip downtown to meet local legislators at the state capitol.

“Each class has a different theme,” pro-gram coordinator Kristine Turner said. “For example, personal fi nance day teaches students about fi nancial independence but also highlights understanding your strengths and weaknesses as a leader. Health care day at Sky Ridge (Medical Cen-ter) also teaches them the leadership skills of team building: How do you build a strong team that balances people’s strong points

and weak areas? How do you get input from all members of a team, even the quiet members?”

As they progress through the 3-year-long program, Turner said she sometimes sees dramatic changes in YLDC participants.

“There are students that start out quiet and reserved,” she said. “Then there are some that are already leaders. They come here and think, Òh, I have to share the limelight.’ They are learning to lead and also learning when not to lead.”

Consultant Vanessa Lujan volunteers her time annually to help lead a YLDC session.

During the December session at the Lone Tree Civic Center, she urged the stu-dents to study other leaders, learn how to listen to others and stay open to new expe-riences.

“Leadership is a journey,” Lujan said. “It’s not a destination.”

As seniors, YLDC students are expect-ed to turn their skills into action and give back to the community. YLDC seniors have taught leadership classes for elementary schools, volunteered at Sky Ridge Medical Center, and planted school gardens.

The class costs $495 per student, but YLDC granted $6,000 in scholarships to participants in 2012 alone to help defray that cost.

“We want to make sure every child who wants to participate can have that opportu-nity,” Turner said.

Students who participate in YLDC also may get college credit for the course, which are transferable to many colleges in Colo-rado and other states.

The Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce established the adult Leadership Douglas County program in 1999. For more informa-tion about the adult and youth programs, visit www.leadershipdouglascounty.org.

SALOME’S STARSFOR THE WEEK OF DEC 25, 2013

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) The arts are a strong part of the Arian aspect, with music becoming more dominant. An important decision looms as a longtime relationship takes an unexpected turn.

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Surrounding yourself with beautiful things helps restore the Taurean soul. Enjoy an art exhibit, for example. Or redecorate your personal space with something truly splendid.

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Some colleagues might try to talk you out of what they insist is a risk, but which you consider an opportunity. As usual, follow your own good sense when making your decision.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) A workplace change you might have worried about soon proves to be highly favorable for the clever Crab who is ready to take ad-vantage of new opportunities opening up.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Congratulations. Your Leonine pride is polished to a dazzling new brilliance thanks to your success in winning support for your new project from even the most doubtful of detractors.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) An unsettling rumor about a colleague’s apparently regrettable behavior is soon proved groundless, allowing you to enjoy the upcoming end-of-year festivities in a happy mood.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Your success in helping to create a harmonious environment out of a chaotic situation earns you the admiration of someone who could become an important new presence in your life.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Your Scorpion’s sense of loyalty could find you leading a passionate defense of a loved one you feel is being unfairly treated. The week’s end brings long-awaited family news.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Your keen in-stincts are once more on high alert as you find yourself being pressured to make a quick decision about a certain matter. More facts come to light by week’s end.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) An unexpected workplace development could disrupt some fam-ily plans. A full explanation, however, averts domestic discord. A financial matter continues to need attention.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Spend time away from distractions to reassess some recent moves that might not have worked out as you had hoped. What you learn could be invaluable for future decision-making.

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) A recent act of kindness is a reminder of how important your friends are to you. You might want to show your appreciation by hosting a special pre-New Year’s party just for them.

BORN THIS WEEK: You always try to do your best, which sometimes causes you to be critical of those who don’t live up to your standards.

charge in March near Sedalia, could face up to three years for the embezzlement count and up to six years on each count of forgery. He will be sentenced on Feb. 24, 2014.

“We appreciate the thoughtful work

of the jury, and believe their verdict rep-resents a just outcome,” said Attorney General John Suthers. “We also thank our partners at the CBI for conducting a very thorough and professional investiga-tion.”

The first of the weapons was discov-ered missing from the coroner’s office in 2012 by Coroner Lora Thomas, who had defeated Lord in the 2010 Republican pri-mary.

Once Thomas saw there was a weap-

on unaccounted for, she turned the case over to authorities. As Lord, who served under former Coroner Wes Riber, was a suspect in the investigation, and Sher-iff David A. Weaver had endorsed Lord’s candidacy against Thomas, the sheriff’s office passed the investigation on to the CBI.

“The reason I ran for this office was because I knew about the mismanage-ment here,” Thomas told Colorado Com-munity Media in a prior interview regard-

ing the case. “I inherited a situation here. I’ve been here for about two years and it’s a totally different environment. We are accountable, professional and efficient.”

Thomas is a Republican candidate for Douglas County Sheriff and is run-ning against Weaver’s undersheriff, Tony Spurlock, a fellow Republican, as well as Castle Rock Police Cmdr. John Anderson, also a Republican. The Republican pri-mary is slated for June 2014 and the gen-eral election will be November 2014.

CASE NUMBER: 12JV103DIVISION 3

DEPENDENCY SUMMONS

This Summons is initiated pursuant to Rules 2.2 and 4.2 of the Colorado Rules of Juvenile Procedure, Rule 4 of the Colo-rado Rules of Civil Procedure, and Section 19-3-503, C.R.S. 2013.

TO OSCAR APARICIO HERNANDEZ: You are hereby notified that a petition has been filed which alleges that the above-named child is dependent or neglected based upon the factual allegations and legal definitions of dependency or neglect set forth in the Dependency and Neglect Petition, a copy of which is served simulta-neously with this Dependency Summons and additional copies of which may be obtained at the office of John Thirkell, at the above address.

A Return of Service and Appearance Re-view Hearing has been set for January 13, 2014 at 9:00 a.m. in Division 2, Douglas County District Court, 4000 Justice Way, Castle Rock, Colorado, 80109.

Your presence before this court is required to defend against the claims in this petition. IF YOU FAIL TO APPEAR, THE COURT WILL PROCEED IN YOUR ABSENCE, WITHOUT FURTHER

NOTICE, TO CONDUCT AN ADJUDICA-TORY HEARING AND MAY ENTER A JUDGMENT BY DEFAULT THEREBY ADJUDICATING YOUR CHILDREN AS DEPENDENT OR NEGLECTED CHILDREN.

You have the right to request a trial by jury at the adjudicatory stage of this petition. You also have the right to legal represen-tation at every stage of the proceedings by counsel of your own choosing, or if you are without sufficient financial means and meet the indigency guidelines established by the Colorado Supreme Court, appoint-ment of counsel by the Court at state expense. Termination of your parent-child legal relationship to free your children for adoption is a possible remedy in this proceeding. If that remedy is pursued, you are entitled to a hearing before a Judge. You also have the right, if you are indigent, to have the Court appoint, at no expense to you, one expert witness of your own choosing at any hearing on the termination of your parent-child relation-ship. If you are a minor, you have the right to the appointment of a Guardian ad litem to represent your best interests.

You have the right to have this matter heard by a district court judge rather than by the magistrate. You may waive that right, and in doing so, you will be bound by the findings and recommendations

of the magistrate, subject to review as provided by section 19-1-108(5.5), C.R.S. 2013, and subsequently, to the right of appeal as provided by Colorado Appellate Rule 3.4.

Rule 4.2 of the Colorado Rules of Juvenile Procedure provides for the fol-lowing advisement about dependency and neglect cases:

(a) At the first appearance before the court, the respondent(s) shall be fully ad-vised by the court as to all rights and the possible consequences of a finding that a child is dependent or neglected. The court shall make certain that the respondent(s) understand the following:

(1) The nature of the allegations contained in the petition;

(2) As a party to the proceeding, the right to counsel;

(3) That if the respondent(s) is a parent, guardian, or legal custodian, and is indigent, the respondent may be assigned counsel as provided by law.

(4) The right to a trial by jury;

(5) That any admission to the petition must be voluntary;

(6) The general dispositional alternatives available to the court if the petition is sustained, as set forth in Section 19-3-508, C.R.S.;

(7) That termination of the parent-child legal relationship is a possible remedy which is available if the petition is sus-tained;

(8) That if a motion to terminate the parent-child legal relationship is filed, the court will set a separate hearing at which the allegations of the motion must be proven by clear and convincing evidence;

(9) That termination of the parent-child legal relationship means that the subject child would be available for adoption;

(10) That any party has the right to appeal any final decision made by the court; and

(11) That if the petition is admitted, the court is not bound by any promises or representations made by anyone about dispositional alternatives selected by the court.

(b) The respondent(s), after being ad-vised, shall admit or deny the allegations of the petition.

(c) If a respondent(s) admits the allega-tions in the petition, the court may accept

the admission after making the following finding:

(1) That the respondent(s) understand his or her rights, the allegations contained in the petition, and the effect of the admission;

(2) That the admission is voluntary.

(d) Notwithstanding any provision of this Rule to the contrary, the court may advise a non-appearing respondent(s) pursuant to this Rule in writing and may accept a written admission to the petition if the respondent has affirmed under oath that the respondent(s) understands the advisement and the consequences of the admission, and if, based upon such sworn statement, the court is able to make the findings set forth in part (c) of this Rule.

This summons is being initiated by the Douglas County Department of Human Services through its counsel.
