Group calls for firing of Arapahoe High principal School board president said he supports Natalie Pramenko

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

An anonymous group is calling for the firing of Arapahoe High School Principal Natalie Pramenko amid what it calls a destructive culture at the school.

Calling itself the Arapahoe High School Community Coalition, or AHSCC, the group comprises roughly two dozen students, parents, teachers and alumni of the school, according to its attorney, Jessica Peck.

The group says that Arapahoe’s culture has deteriorated in the years since the 2013 shooting death of senior Claire Davis at the hands of a classmate, Peck said, citing several student suicides, the recent high-profile arrests of two teachers accused of sexually assaulting students, and what it calls substance abuse problems and bullying at the school.

The group plans to present the results of a “community stakeholder” survey distributed via social media at the April 25 Littleton Public Schools Board of Education meeting, as part of what Peck says will be an ongoing effort to oust Pramenko and launch an

investigation into the school’s culture.

Peck called the group’s efforts “the end of a multi-year effort to collaborate and work with the district amicably.”

Peck said the group believes Pramenko’s leadership has fallen short.

“She’s got a very tough job, and we need somebody at the helm of this school who’s up to the job,” Peck said. “There comes a point in every organization where it’s appropriate to contemplate whether it’s time to turn the page and get fresh leadership.”

Pramenko replied to the group’s efforts in a letter sent to parents on April 5, touting the school’s and district’s reform efforts following the 2013 shooting, as well as efforts to address issues surrounding mental health, drug abuse and sexual misconduct.

“I want to be very clear Pramenko that I too share these serious concerns,” Pramenko’s letter read in part. “Moving forward, I will be doing more to tackle these tough issues to strengthen our community. A task force that includes students, parents, faculty, staff members, and community members will be established to dive more deeply into issues of mental health, suicide, social media, substance abuse, and school culture.”

In a later phone interview with Colo-

rado Community Media, Pramenko called the group’s push disheartening.

“There’s a lot to be proud of at Arapahoe,” said Pramenko, who became principal of the school in 2012. “I’m tired of people dragging our school through the mud. We’ve been through hard times and made significant improvements, and I feel like whoever’s doing this is dragging us backwards.”

No members of the group have agreed to go on the record with Colorado Community Media about the claims, citing fear of community backlash and retribution from district officials.

Littleton Public Schools Superintendent Brian Ewert said he is “not dissatisfied” with Pramenko’s job performance, and called Arapahoe “One of the state’s premier high schools.”

“Arapahoe is a great school,” Ewert said. “It’s emotionally supportive. All of our schools are under-resourced, and Natalie is the right person to lead the school at this time. We don’t dismiss people based on an anonymous community survey.”

LPS Board of Education President Jack Reutzel called the group’s efforts — particularly the online survey — misguided.

“We take constructive criticisms to heart,” Reutzel said. “It’s not that we’re upset about the survey, because I haven’t seen the results. But the idea that we’re being asked to go outside a procedure that works well to make

changes based upon social media is something we don’t agree with. It’s not what we do.”

Reutzel praised Pramenko’s job performance.

“I think she’s been sincere, honest and forthright,” Reutzel said. “When the kids suffer, she suffers. When the kids are happy, she’s happy. The amount of support she’s received has been overwhelming. She’s been nothing but really appropriate.”

Peck, the group’s attorney, says Pramenko and the district have failed to properly address issues raised by a 2016 report on the attack that killed Davis, which was prepared by the Center for the Study and Prevention of Violence. The report criticized the school and the district for what it called failures of interdepartmental and interagency information sharing, threat assessment and access to mental health resources.

“After four or five years of saying ‘trust us, trust us,’ and three years since the report chronicling the failures of this school that led up to Claire Davis’ death, we see that those problems exist but are exacerbated and getting worse,” Peck said.

Reutzel pushed back against the group’s assertions, saying the district may not be perfect, but has made strides since 2013.

MY NAME IS

MOLLY LEIBBRANDT

Molly Leibbrandt, one of seven students from four cities across the U.S. who were selected to receive up to $20,000 each to support their culinary education through the US Foods Scholars program, in addition to hands-on training opportunities with US Foods culinary professionals.

Culinary arts, food service management student Young, but longtime resident I am 19 years old and I have been living in Centennial since I was about 4 or 5 years old, so quite a long time.

This is my first year at Johnson & Wales University in Denver.

Love of the craft I have always loved food and the process of making homemade food. I also liked watching and helping my mom in the kitchen. I find meaning in the food service field because when someone tastes and enjoys the food I prepare, it gives me satisfaction. It helps me know that I am doing everything right and that I can succeed.

COURTESY PHOTO

I would like to possibly be a spud chef. As for where? I am not sure. Any place that I can fit into that role. I also hope to one day own a restaurant.

Recipient of US Foods scholarship It will definitely help me pay for the university, and it has also shown me that all the hard work I am putting in

is paying off and will continue to pay off. It also motivates me to work harder to prove myself. (Seven students from four U.S. cities were selected to receive up to $20,000 each in the US Foods Scholars program.)

Education translating to real-life work The experience that stuck with me was probably the first time I did a plated dinner. I had never done it before, and it showed me how much goes in to a plated event as well as how one works. The experience helped me because now I work somewhere that has lots of plated events.

When I’m not cooking …

I am really into archery. Both my parents are into it as well, and we all compete. I have been doing it for about five to six years.

Fertilizer: arch enemy of waterways.

Streams, lakes and reservoirs don’t need it. Your lawn may not need it, either. Fertilizer, like other products that serve a necessary purpose, can become a problem if misused. Most lawn fertilizers contain nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, represented by a three-number string on the front of the bag. Nutrient needs vary from lawn to lawn and can only be determined by testing the soil. If over-applied, rain carries away excess nutrients not needed by plants and washes them to the nearest waterway, causing excess algae growth that uses up vital oxygen for fish.

COLUMBINE TRAGEDY: 20 YEARS LATER

For LPS, security evolves A Columbine student plants flowers at Dutch Creek Elementary School in April 2018 during the Day of Service.

Students commit to serving others ‘Columbine Spirit’ fuels projects on Day of Service

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

More than a thousand students from Columbine High School will embark on service projects throughout the community on April 20 for the third annual Day of Service.

“We wanted to take such a tragic day and try to turn it into something positive,” Scott Christy, Columbine’s principal, said. “It’s a great way to honor the day, honor the victims.”

In the aftermath of the April 20, 1999 tragedy, community members leaned on one another for hope and strength and were overwhelmed with an outpouring of kindness and support from people across the world.

“It’s hard to articulate in words,” Christy said.

“You kind of have to feel it. A lot of schools or organizations will say they’re a family, but I think at Columbine, it means something different. There is a bond that we have with each other and with our school.

I think there is a pride, a love for

school that I think is very difficult to replicate anywhere else.”

Christy calls it the “Columbine Spirit” — something that bonds the school together.

Currently Columbine High has 13 teachers who were on staff in 1999 and five teachers who were students at Columbine that year. Several long-standing teachers recently retired.

Christy said educators like Frank DeAngelis, former principal, and the teachers who stuck with the school after the tragedy went through difficult times and should be recognized for their heroic actions.

“To stick with something like this and make it into what it is today is truly heroic,” he said. “It’s a model of resiliency.”

Although current students were not yet born when the tragedy struck, it is something that lingers within the culture of the school.

“The kids are aware,” Christy said.

“But they don’t come here thinking this horrible thing happened. This is their home.”

Christy said the story of Columbine High is one of strength, resilience, community and family.

Christy said he hopes other schools

and organizations who have experienced mass shootings and tragedy can look at Columbine and see that they can come back strong if they work as a community.

The Day of Service is one way Columbine High is continuing that strength.

For the first 17 years after the tragedy, school was not held on April 20.

Classes are still not held on that day, but for the past two years, the Day of Service has been.

Service projects vary from sprucing up the garden at the local elementary school to cleaning up nearby Clement Park and local trails. The day is centered on remembering the lives lost, reflecting on the lives forever changed and recommitting to the power of service in the community.

While projects are limited to Columbine High students and teachers, the school encourages the community and people across the world to participate in their own service projects on April 20.

It’s a challenge to make a recommitment — to kindness, to community, to serving others.

“Columbine is a symbol of resiliency,” Christy said.

Littleton Public Schools is often recognized as a national leader in school security, says Guy Grace, the district’s director of security and emergency planning.

But when the Columbine tragedy hit in the nearby Jefferson County Public Schools district in 1999, things were more rudimentary.

“Security was more about property protection back then,” said Grace, whose title in 1999 was security facilitator. “We were worried about vandals and trespassers. We had security cameras, but they just taped onto videocassette, and they got taped over every day.”

On the day of the Columbine tragedy, Littleton schools went into lockdown, but beyond that, district officials were flying by the seat of their pants.

“There was no roadmap,” Grace said. “There were no processes and procedures.”

In the weeks that followed, LPS cut down on entrances into schools and increased security and police patrols around school perimeters.

As years passed, things got more sophisticated. In 2002 the district adopted one of the country’s first integrated security systems, utilizing a wide range of cameras, security protocols and coordinated communication with local law enforcement.

Today, the district is cited as a model of school security, drawing articles in national publications. Grace is also the director of the Partner Alliance for Safer Schools, a nationwide school security consortium.

The task these days is to integrate physical security measures with mental health services, Grace said, and to break down communication barriers between students, staff and parents.

LPS was hit with a tragedy in 2013, when an Arapahoe High School student killed classmate Claire Davis.

Grace said the incident could have been “a hundred times worse, if we hadn’t had lockdown drills.”

Grace said there’s work yet to be done.

“Are we perfect? No, we’ll never be perfect, but we’re evolving.”

COLUMBINE TRAGEDY: 20 YEARS LATER

‘I stepped out of the darkness’ Sean Graves, student injured in the shooting

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Bruce Beck, stepfather of Lauren Townsend, and Dawn Anna, her mother, speak to the media in the Columbine Hope Memorial Library recently. The Lauren Townsend Memorial Wildlife/Scholarship Fund was started in honor of Lauren Townsend.

‘Keep looking up. Keep moving ahead’ Dawn Anna and Bruce Beck, parents of student Lauren Townsend

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A week after her daughter Lauren Townsend was killed at Columbine, Dawn Anna stood at a memorial event beside her husband, Bruce Beck.

While the speaker said to bow their heads in prayer, Anna said something told her to look up.

She saw a red-tailed hawk circling above, its head cocked, with one eye on the crowd.

“Lauren was there letting us know it was OK,” said Beck, Lauren’s stepfather.

“It was a sign: Keep looking up,” Anna said. “Keep moving ahead.”

In the 20 years since Columbine, Anna and Beck have donated more than $300,000 to animal-related causes through Lauren’s Wildlife Fund, in honor of their daughter who felt a pow-

erful connection to animals.

“Lauren worked at a small animal hospital, and every week she’d come home saying we needed to adopt this dog or that dog,” Beck said.

The fund has given grants to the Keenesburg Wild Animal Sanctuary, the Wildlife Experience and groups that save wolves in Fort Collins, apes in Hawaii, and even raccoons in Minnesota.

“We couldn’t be more proud of the difference she’s made in animals’ lives,” Beck said.

Moving forward hasn’t been easy.

“With Lauren’s loss came a huge hole in my heart,” Anna said. “That hole doesn’t get any smaller, and I don’t expect it to. But my goal is to make my heart bigger, so the hole won’t seem so big. Since losing her I’ve tried to do good deeds, to reach out to others in tragedy. Maybe it’s a little selfish, because I know the more you

give, the more you help yourself.”

Anna said she tries to reach out to others going through trauma and tragedy, but she’s learned there are no words to be said.

After the tragedy at Columbine, Anna said her first visitor was a friend who was known for being a motormouth.

“I thought, ‘please just go away.’ I wasn’t sleeping or eating. Sometimes I’d forget to breathe. If Lauren wasn’t doing it, I didn’t want to do it. But my friend sat next to me. She didn’t say a word. Every now and then, she’d get me a glass of water.”

Anna said it was a great lesson.

“To help others, just sit with them.

There’s not a word you can say that will mean a thing.”

Anna is proud of Columbine’s new atrium that replaced the library where Lauren died.

“It forces you to look up.”

‘You can’t solve it by doing any one thing’ Rick Townsend, father of Lauren Townsend

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Rick Townsend’s daughter Lauren has been gone for 20 years, and the thoughts still cross his mind.

“I wonder what she’d be like today,” Townsend said. “We lost graduation.

A wedding. Grandkids. Sometimes I just sit and think about it.”

Townsend has devoted himself to keeping the memories of Lauren and the others who died with her in 1999 alive. He’s president of the Columbine Memorial Foundation, which maintains the memorial to the Columbine victims in Clement Park, adjacent to the high school.

“We’re here to remember those that died, support those who were injured, and honor those affected by the shooting,” Townsend said.

The school and the memorial are places of great Townsend importance to Townsend — the memorial as a place of remembrance, but the school as a place of life.

“The school is a vital part of the community,” Townsend said. “It was before this happened, and it still is today. Getting rid of the old library, where so many died, and building the new one made it so the school could

be a valid, highly functioning high school, and not a monument to death and tragedy.”

Townsend said he still struggles to understand.

“I don’t know why these shootings are still happening,” he said. “People think because I lost a child to one I must know something others don’t, but I don’t know any more than they do. There’s the availability of guns, but it’s a multifaceted thing. There’s mental health issues. You can’t solve it by doing any one thing. I don’t have the answers.”

But Townsend does know that he’d like to see a more loving world.

“There’s a need to connect to people.

We can commit to being more kind and accepting and considerate of others. Try to pass that along to others.”

Sean Graves will always carry some of Columbine with him.

Shot several times in the massacre’s first moments, Graves spent three years after the tragedy in a wheelchair.

In 2002, he rolled onto the graduation stage, stood up, took his diploma and walked away.

Graves still struggles to run or climb a ladder without strain.

“I was 15 when I was shot,” Graves said.

“That was 20 years ago.

I’ve lived with these injuries longer than I lived without them.”

Graves still struggles Graves with flashbacks and post-traumatic stress, he said. To this day, he analyzes any room he’s in for exits and people who could be threats.

The years after the tragedy brought darkness and anger, Graves said.

“I couldn’t tell you why it happened,” Graves said. “I wasn’t in the killers’ shoes. But for me, the only way I could move forward without being angry at life or my situation was to forgive them.”

“It was relieving, to be honest.

Once I realized I didn’t have to spend the rest of my life angry at this pair of people, a weight was taken off my chest. I stepped out of the darkness.”

Graves’ wife, Kara, said she is grateful for her husband’s personal growth.

“Without forgiving them, it’s like they won,” Kara said. “They still control your life. We’ve been together 16 years, so I’ve seen him before and after he came to terms with it. It’s definitely improved our quality of life.”

Among the more profound impacts, Kara said, is how they raise their 3-year-old daughter.

“I think 20 years ago this wasn’t at the forefront of anybody’s mind,” Kara said. “Today it’s a way of life.

As kids we did tornado drills. Our daughter will do shooter drills. It’s taken our innocence away.”

Graves said if there’s a silver lining, it’s that his daughter will grow up more aware.

“I kept telling myself it wasn’t real,” he said. “I hope my daughter is smarter. I’ll tell her: If this happens, you have to survive.”

COLUMBINE TRAGEDY: 20 YEARS LATER

‘Every morning, I wake up and recite their names’ Former Columbine Principal Frank DeAngelis

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Frank DeAngelis stuck it out.

DeAngelis was principal of Columbine High School the day of the tragedy in 1999. He stayed in that role until 2014.

“When I retired, I’d been here through the graduation of all the kids who were in elementary school during the tragedy,” DeAngelis said.

Today, DeAngelis is a consultant for Jefferson County Public Schools and a national speaker on recovering from tragedy. He’s thankful his work puts him back in touch with young people.

“I was a teacher, coach and principal for 35 years,” he said. “I missed the kids.”

DeAngelis rejects the accusation that swirled in the aftermath of the attack that Columbine’s culture pushed the killers to violence.

“Was there bullying?

Yes,” he said.

But DeAngelis was one of a select few who viewed the “basement tapes,” lengthy video diaries made by the killers, before they were DeAngelis destroyed.

“In those tapes, they don’t talk about bullying. They talk about feeling godlike. Agents of natural selection. People who will be remembered forever.”

Instead, DeAngelis focuses his heart

on the 13 victims killed in 1999.

“Every morning, I wake up and recite their names,” he said. “I’ll do that until the day I die.”

After 20 years, DeAngelis said, he hopes Columbine serves as a lesson that communities can heal after mass trauma.

“We’ll always remember that horrific day, but Columbine represents hope,” he said. “It’s not an easy road.

There was a phrase that became popular after the tragedy: ‘We Are Columbine.’ And it’s true — we became one.”

‘We see a thousand minds transformed’ Darrell and Sandy Scott, parents of victim Rachel Scott

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Rachel Scott’s life ended in 1999, but her spirit of compassion continues to save the lives of others around the world.

Rachel’s parents, Darrell and Sandy Scott, run Rachel’s Challenge, a program that spreads their daughter’s principles of love and understanding far and wide.

“We always miss her, but we get to celebrate her life every day,” Sandy said. “She could’ve lived to be 90 years old and she might not have had this kind of impact. And this is what she wanted: to make a difference in the world. And she’s doing it.”

Rachel’s Challenge had its origins in testimony Darrell gave before Congress a month after Columbine, with a powerful speech that remains popular today.

“By the time I got home, I was invited to 40 major events,” Darrell said. “For two years I traveled to football stadiums, hockey arenas — I spoke in front of tens of thousands of people. We began to realize the impact of Rachel’s story on young lives. We met with educators and began to form

the program.”

The program includes a series of challenges, drawn from Rachel’s diaries, that push kids to rid themselves of prejudice and find compassion for each other.

Today, Rachel’s Challenge has 50 presenters who travel the world speaking to students. Darrell estimates they’ve been in front of 28 million kids.

The numbers may be big, but the effects are personal and intimate.

“We hear from more than 150 kids a year who planned to commit suicide, but changed their minds after our programming,” Darrell said.

Spreading love is a great privilege, Darrell said, though he wishes it drew wider attention from the media.

“We see a thousand minds transformed in one school,” Darrell said.

“Bullies are crying, kids are helping one another, and it gets maybe a blip in the news. Then, somebody says something nasty to someone else, and they’ll get 30 minutes.”

Darell said he takes to heart something Rachel wrote just a month before she died: “Compassion is the greatest form of love humans have to offer.”

Sandy and Darrell Scott are the parents of Rachel, who was killed during the Columbine shooting. The two formed Rachel’s Challenge, an organization that looks to create a positive culture change in schools, businesses and communities. JOSEPH RIOS

‘We have love and hope’ Coni Sanders, daughter of teacher Dave Sanders

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

They never stop.

Coni Sanders’ father Dave Sanders was the only teacher killed at Columbine.

To this day, Sanders still gets bombarded with messages from what she calls “Columbiners,” people obsessed with every last detail of the massacre that took her father.

“There are hundreds of social media accounts claiming to be the killers,” Sanders said. “Worse, some claim to be my dad.”

The most disturbing thing, Sanders said, is how many mass shooters turn out to be “Columbiners” themselves.

For Sanders, it’s a clarion call to rethink how our culture, and mass media, approach mass shooters.

“Making them famous is like wrapping up a present and giving it to them,” she said.

Sanders is under no delusion that eliminating notoriety will stop mass shootings.

“Anybody with half a brain knows we’ll never be able to stop this,” she said. “It’s about reducing it, and there’s no one answer… It’s like a thousandpiece puzzle, but if we start putting it together we’ll see better results.”

Sanders said she’s frustrated by what she calls a lack of action on gun violence.

“It’s unbelievable to me that people’s

beliefs outweigh their loved one’s lives.”

After her father’s death, Sanders became a forensic therapist, working with people released from prison for violent crimes, to help them chart a safer path in life.

“Right after it happened, I wondered: What happened to those two boys? I found out they did get mental health treatment. They were in a diversion program. And now I work with that program.”

Sanders said she’s not sure her work gives her any insight into Columbine specifically, but said we can all help make the world safer.

“Violence prevention is smiling at someone you normally wouldn’t,” she said. “Saying hi to someone. Striking up a conversation. The people I work with, when they’re violent, it’s when they feel left out, alone or wronged.”

Sanders said she doesn’t hold ill will over her father’s death, though she spent years angry at him for repeatedly running back into the school, braving gunfire to secure classrooms full of panicked students.

“But if he could come back, I think he’d tell us he’d do it again,” she said.

After 20 years, Sanders said, it’s high time we shift our thinking.

“This is no longer about what happened on April 20,” she said. “This is about how we have fewer April 20ths.

We’re all in danger, but we have love and hope we can focus on.”

COLUMBINE TRAGEDY: 20 YEARS LATER

‘We’ve got to reach out to one another’

‘It made me more empathetic’ Dr. Mark Elliott, Littleton Adventist Hospital Dr. Mark Elliott still wears a Columbine pin on his lab coat.

Elliott, who runs the medical team at Littleton Adventist Hospital, said April 20, 1999, is vivid in his memory.

“We didn’t get the most serious victims, but we got the most numbers of victims,” Elliott said. “The normal emergency room volume and

Bill Pessemier, former Littleton fire chief It didn’t sound like much at first.

“I think the first thing we heard was a call for someone with an ankle injury at Columbine High School,” said Bill Pessemier, who in 1999 was Littleton’s fire chief. “Then it was shots fired. I was in a staff meeting at city hall, and I decided I better go see what was happening.”

What unfolded Pessemier was one of the most horrific scenes Pessemier ever saw. A SWAT team commandeered one of his fire trucks to get closer to the school while Pessemier coordinated medical response.

“The patients we got to, the ones who were alive, they survived,” Pessemier said.

In the decades since the shooting stopped at Columbine, Pessemier has had time to reflect, but hasn’t come up with any big answers.

“Why did this happen?” Pessemier said. “Why does this occur in our society? There are problems with guns, with mental health care, with the way young people are brought up. And rather than bringing people together, these problems just push us apart.”

The bottom line, Pessemier said, is that we need to treat each other better.

“The people who do this are sick,” Pessemier said. “The vast majority of firefighter fatalities are preventable. I look at this the same way: Most shootings are preventable.

Somebody saw something that could have led to an intervention. We’ve got to reach out to one another.”

walk-ins shut down. People knew something was going on, and I think they stayed away partly out of respect.”

Elliott Elliott said he still meets people affected by the tragedy all the time.

“It made me realize that something like that could happen any time. It made me more empathetic.”

To this day, Elliott said, the hospital’s medical teams are affected by other shootings.

“Every time there’s another, and people mention Columbine, we feel it. The ER group will send cards to that ER. We say: ‘We’re thinking about you. We know what you’re going through.’”

‘I don’t look at the world the same anymore’ Richard Nakata, former bomb squad tech Many Littleton residents know Richard Nakata as the magician at Reinke Bros. costume shop. But 20 years ago, Nakata was a deputy and bomb squad technician for the Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Office, who spent hours in Columbine High School’s library the day of the attack, searching for bombs and booby traps among the bodies of victims.

He and his team removed

57 bombs from the bodies of the killers.

“Those of us clearing the room, we were all parents,” Nakata said.

Nakata “One girl laying there looked just like my daughter.

I realized how easily it could be my kids.”

Today, Nakata said, he can’t

stand violence in mass media. It glorifies or downplays murder, he said. He’d like to see young people understand the realities of law enforcement, the justice system, and the impacts of violence.

Nakata said he sometimes still finds himself transported back to Columbine, to the library, in his dreams.

“I really don’t know how to change the problem,” he said, “but I don’t look at the world the same anymore.”

How much do suburban city managers make?

n the Denver metro area suburbs, the person who oversees a city or town’s dayto-day operations is not the mayor or another elected official. It is the city manager.

The city manager — or town manager or town administrator, depending on where you live — is appointed by the city or town council. The manager is then tasked with implementing policy decisions made by the council.

He or she can also be fired by the council.

In this report, Colorado Community Media is providing you with the annual salaries of the managers for the 15 largest suburban municipalities in CCM’s coverage area. The manager is often the highest paid employee of the municipality, and with some exceptions, larger cities and towns tend to pay managers more than smaller ones.

We will be offering similar looks at local government payroll and spending throughout the year.

Victims’ Rights awards honor past, create hope for future

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In 1999, Rebecca Bartee, 41, was murdered at her apartment on South Dayton Street in Centennial. Eighteen years later, a 71-year-old man was charged with her murder but died before a trial date could be set.

District Attorney George Brauchler said Bartee’s family was denied justice.

Bartee was a prosecutor for the district attorney’s office and worked there for three weeks before her death.

On April 9 at the Parker Arts, Culture and Events Center, Bartee’s sister, Peggy Brockington, spoke about Bartee and thanked the investigators and journalist responsible for tracking down the alleged killer. The Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Office unveiled a wall dedicated to Bartee in the department’s training room.

“She had a great quest for justice, and the decision to name the training center after her is an honor to her search for justice all the time,” Brockington said. “We will never forget her.

We will always love her.”

The 18th Judicial District hosted its third annual Victims’ Rights Week Awards Ceremony at the PACE Center.

Seven awards were given out to five victim advocates and law enforcement officers and two organizations from throughout Douglas, Elbert, Lincoln and Arapahoe counties. A tribute to Bartee, her family and the investigators involved was the keynote presentation.

This year’s theme was “Honoring the Past and Creating Hope for the Future.” Brauchler and Assistant District Attorney Matt Maillaro emceed the event, thanking all 17 nominees.

The ceremony closed with a tribute to No Notoriety, an organization that

The organization was founded by Tom

and Caren Teves, whose son, Alex, was murdered in 2012 along with 11 others in the Aurora theater shooting.

The program has garnered national attention.

“It’s the idea that `Yes, the public has to know at some level who committed these horrible crimes or even needs to see who commits those horrible crimes, but once that gets out, we should not give them anymore attention other than to potentially answer the question why, when and how,’” Brauchler said.

Brauchler added an anecdote how he refused to say the name of the Aurora theater shooter more than twice during the trial.

“I want to tell you they’re never going to happen again, but I’d be lying to you and you’d know it,” Brauchler said. “It’s important that we continue to move this through as we have these other horrible things happen.”

BLUE COLLAR SKILLED TRADES

To Advertise call Ann-Marie 303.566.4070

ameyn@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Five reasons to work skilled trades Not matter what’s happening in the business world and Wall Street, no matter how up or down the economy, an industry that will always be steady is in blue-collar and skilled trades.

This is the industry where more than 13 million workers are employed at different levels each year. This is an industry that stretches across so many areas from the plumber and carpenter to the maintenance mechanic and electrician to locomotive engineer.

The top five reasons to work in the skilled-trade industry includes:

Well-paying: According to BLS, the median salary in construction and labor work is just over $33,000 per year, about $16.08 an hour. Other positions make event more, with the minimum education being a high school diploma. Some of the top skilled trade positions include: • Electrician: $54,110 a year • Carpenter: $45,170 a year • Hazardous material removal: $41,400 • Flooring installers: $40,250 • Plumbers: $52,590

Security: This is such a vast industry, that employment options are always available. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) industry is expected to grow by 12 percent through the year 2026, which is faster than the average.

Variety: If you don’t like working on the rails or specifically on a construction site, the good news is blue-collar trades expand across a variety of categories, expanding into electricity, carpentry, mechanics, maintenance, machine operators and ground maintenance.

Cheaper education: Many blue-collar jobs only require a high-school diploma to begin work.

Others, such as masonry work or auto mechanics need only to go through a trade school that caters to the specific field. This turns into a certification of completion rather than an expensive degree at a university. The costs difference in education is huge.

Job satisfaction: There is a certain sense of pride in getting your hands dirty and building, creating or maintaining something.

According to a 2018 Harris Poll, which surveyed blue-collar workers across the nation, 86 percent said they are satisfied/happy with their jobs.

SEASONAL GROUNDSKEEPING JOBS Castle Pines Metro District is looking for several positive workers for its landscape maintenance division for the summer (May – August).

Duties: mowing, trimming, planting, trash removal, misc. jobs and repairs.

Hours: 7 am to 4 pm Mon – Fri.; $13.48 per hour; beautiful environment.

Requirements: 17 years old, clean MVR, reliable, clean / neat appearance.

VOICES World lost in selfies is not a pretty picture

A

waiter goes back to a table and asks a young couple, “Is your food OK? You haven’t taken a picture of it yet?”

When the time comes for this decade to be characterized, it will be a snap.

It was estimated that each of us takes 10 digital photos a day, or 3,650 digital photos in a year. Times the number of people who have cellphones with built-in cameras, that’s 14 trillion photos worldwide annually.

Not all of them will be saved, however, for a very good reason that I will get to momentarily.

(When I say “we” I don’t mean me too. It’s just less accusatory than saying “you.”)

If a bear consumes a tourist who is trying to take a photo of himself with

the bear, I tend to side with the bear. When someone falls over a cliff while they are taking a selfie, I side with the cliff.

Every time I watch a major event on television, I see hundreds of amateur photographers aiming their phones at the event.

Why? Because these moments are precious

and few?

No. Because everyone else is doing it.

I just read an article to myself, and

then I read it to the dog to get his reaction.

Harry is used to it by now, and usually just angles his head and stares at me.

The headline in the Washington Post said, “More are seeking surgery to look better in selfies.”

There was a photo of a bunch of grinning idiots that went with the article, and the caption was, “The self-taken photograph is warping the confidence of many younger people in unsettling ways.”

I am very, very glad I am not a younger people.

The article was written by Daria Hamrah, a plastic surgeon who has a practice in McLean, Va. Hamrah said the people who now

come into her office are years younger than the ones who came into her office 10 years ago.

“There’s a reason for this radical and rapid change: selfies.”

She said one young woman came into her office and asked for “rounded feline eyes of the sort that some photo filters can add to selfies.”

When I read that to Harry, he angled his head to the other side.

“Once, a 20-year-old woman, having studied countless images of herself, said she needed a face-lift; no 20-yearold needs a face-lift.”

Harry and I both have prominent noses. (Keep in mind, he’s a dachshund.)

to have all three, or maybe one dominant culture supported by subcultures within the company. None of these are bad or wrong, they just sometimes miss the people driven culture.

When challenged with this question, executives may make bold statements such as, “Our people are our most important asset.” And that is awesome, truly awesome. If it were true. Executive and leaders want to do the right thing when it comes to their people.

They are not intentionally trying to mislead anyone, and they are not maliciously or purposely trying to ignore their people. The truth is they just have to make hard decisions. We all do, don’t we? The question is, where does the compromise stop? Hopefully, we don’t compromise our people.

In the quest for a return on investment, have we forgotten about the people who truly are the essence of success for any company or organization, large or small?

percent on average.¹ However, a higher stock market may mean nothing to millions who do not have the financial basics covered.

Here are some basic guidelines to consider for financial wellness: Build an emergency fund and keep it liquid. This helps you keep unexpected expenses off of your credit card and reduce high fees.

Have good health insurance and/ or fund your Health Savings Account.

Uncovered medical emergencies can result in bankruptcies in some cases.

Pay all bills on time and keep credit cards paid off each month. Your credit rating is very important for a job search, renting an apartment or any large purchase.

Shop interest rates across several vendors before making a major purchase that requires financing.

Pay yourself first by saving off the top of your paycheck, not waiting to see what is left. This is especially easier if you have a 401k or IRA you can fund monthly.

Build a financial plan to better un“why,” the processes will not work.

A people driven culture is one that empowers companies through difficult times and in times of change. If processes and technology are vitally important to success, let’s just say that our people are vitally important to the success and the significance of our organization.

So how about you and your organization? Are you counting solely on processes and technology to see you through? Or does your company fully embrace the power of a people driven culture? I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com and when we embrace, empower, and encourage our people, it really will be a better than good company and a part of something very special.

Standout buildings dot Denver, suburbs

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

s the tide of bland, boxy apartment complexes rolls through metro Denver amid its housing boom, sightseers looking for a respite need not roam far.

Historic buildings offer a change of pace from “empty architecture,” said Stephen Leonard, a history professor at Metropolitan State University of Denver.

“We get a lot of variety from historical architecture that we have,” said Leonard, a widely known voice on Colorado history who has taught at MSU for five decades. “I think our sensibility, our ability to appreciate differences and to understand beauty would be considerably lessened if we didn’t have the variety of some very fine architecture we have in Denver.”

Paraphrasing Winston Churchill, Leonard said, “We shape our buildings, and then our buildings shape us.”

“I think they tell us a lot about the tastes of the period. You look at the flamboyance of Victorian architecture, which is really sort of a grabbag term for the 1860s-90s,” Leonard said. “Those buildings combine different styles. They sort of reflect the exuberance of a nouveau riche class.

There’s not much restraint in them.”

What followed was a move away

The historic administration building at the former Colorado Heights University in southwest Denver in 2017.

ELLIS ARNOLD from that style, “almost a reaction against too much ornamentation,” Leonard said, “that maybe reflects a more mature country and state.”

Curious eyes can find styles from that era and beyond around the Denver region. Here’s a look at a few buildings still standing.

Westminster Bell Tower In 1986, the City of Westminster wanted to celebrate its 75th birthday with a “grand public monument,” according to city spokeswoman Jodie Carroll.

The city decided to incorporate it into the design of the new city hall, which was set to open in 1988.

“Since our city name is Westminster, staff thought it fitting to have a grand bell tower such as Big Ben in Westminster, London,” Carroll

The Highlands Ranch Mansion, a Highlands Ranch Metro District property, was once part of a vast Colorado ranching empire.

The tower’s design, including the pyramid at the top, were taken from Big Ben. The city wasn’t named for the area in London, though: The area’s original name, Harris Park, was changed in the early 1900s to honor Westminster University, which was where the Belleview Christian School building now stands, Carroll said.

That’s just a few minutes southeast of the bell tower.

The tower stands at 4800 W. 92nd Ave. in Westminster.

Arapahoe High community ‘honors loved ones lost’ Suicide-prevention walk draws hundreds

IF YOU NEED HELP

Suicidal thoughts can be reduced with proper mental health support and treatment, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention notes.

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

If you are in need of mental health help, call Colorado Crisis Services at 1-844-4938255 — or text TALK to 38255 — to talk to a professional.

T

he push to end stigma around talking about mental health had several hundred boots on the ground carrying the message in the Arapahoe High School neighborhood.

“By walking with us, you honor the memory of the loved ones you’ve lost,” said Ry Renshaw, an Arapahoe senior, addressing the crowd before a suicide-prevention walk that would start at the campus.

Renshaw and Brooke Smiley, also an Arapahoe senior, organized the Out of the Darkness walk with help from the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, a national organization.

“By showing up, you are letting others know they are not alone,” Smiley said, telling the crowd its efforts show that mental health is as important as physical health.

Smiley and Renshaw organized the April 14 walk after two Arapahoe students died by suicide within just days of each other at the end of September and start of October.

Littleton Public Schools has said six Arapahoe students have died by suicide since late 2013.

The community hasn’t forgotten.

The crowd of walkers likely included nearly 1,000 based on registration and walk-up participants, said Sheri Cole, the suicide-prevention foundation’s Colorado area director.

Many wore blue shirts in memory of a Powell Middle School student who died by suicide in recent years, and students from Rock Canyon and Valor Christian high schools in Highlands Ranch, Cherry Creek High School, and other area schools came to participate, said Kyra Smiley, Brooke’s mother, who worked the registration table.

At more than $74,000 raised — shattering its original goal of $12,000 — the walk was one of the suicide-prevention foundation’s biggest on-campus walks in the

Littleton Public Schools’ list of local resources, including mental health services, is located at www.littletonpublicschools.net/ district/family-support-services.

PHOTOS BY ELLIS ARNOLD Arapahoe High School students Brooke Smiley, left, and Ry Renshaw address the crowd at the Out of the Darkness suicideprevention walk April 14 on the Arapahoe campus in Centennial.

The two students organized the event with the help of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. country in 2019, in both fundraising and size, Cole said. The “Out of the Darkness Campus Walks” program is a student fundraising series aimed at engaging youths and young adults, according to the foundation, which funds scientific research and provides resources to those affected by suicide.

Among the parents in the crowd was Jim Hansen, 50, who said blue shirts that read “Decked in blue for the man who flew” were worn in memory of the Powell student who

died, a friend of Hansen’s son.

“He loved basketball. He could jump — he could fly,” Hansen said, adding that one of his neighbors had the shirts made. “He had such a big heart. He affected so many people.”

Arapahoe Principal Natalie Pramenko praised the suicide-prevention event in the days ahead of it.

“I was just incredibly proud of the girls for their initiative on this,” Pramenko said of Smiley and Renshaw. “They been very close to very

hard, hard situations in losing their friends this year, but even in past years, to suicide.”

Pramenko pointed to the school district’s Sources of Strength initiative as a resource, a host of programs that encourage connection with parts of life — like family, friends, mentors and healthy activities — that can combat depression and anxiety. Sources of Strength is a widespread project in North America.

Simply talking about mental health is a step Pramenko hopes more people will be willing to take.

“I’ve read a couple different places (that) kids are comfortable with it, but adults aren’t,” Pramenko said.

“If someone shows up and maybe never talked about mental health before and walks a 5K with one of our young people and realizes it’s OK to talk about, one by one, we can work on spreading this.”

The idea for the walk came from the loss of friends, Renshaw said, but she hopes others can take steps so a suicide doesn’t have to affect them.

“I hope the conversation around mental health becomes proactive rather than reactive” as a result of the walk, Renshaw said.

Organizers with the foundation hope the event can continue annually at Arapahoe.

“My hope is that there’s a grade below us who has a passion for (raising awareness) and can make it an annual thing,” Smiley said. “And that students can feel comfortable talking about their mental health.”

Coalition rejects claims of bias in survey

Reutzel cited Sources of Strength, a nationwide suicide prevention program enacted at LPS in recent years, and a slate of security and threat assessment reforms, including better training and use of Safe2Tell, an anonymous reporting system.

“We’ve implemented a majority of the findings” from the 2016 report, Reutzel said.

“Would we love to do more? Absolutely.

We’ve done what our dollars allow us to do.”

The group alleges that eight Arapahoe High School students have died by suicide since Davis’ murder. An LPS spokesperson said the number is six, compared to one student suicide in the same time period at Heritage High School and none at Littleton High.

Ewert called the relatively higher number of suicides at Arapahoe an anomaly.

“I’m as frightened around student suicide as any parent,” Ewert said. “I don’t have answers to the epidemic of teen suicide. No one does. But we catch kids who have suicidal ideation all the time through Safe2Tell.”

The group’s accusations are frustrating to Tamara Highsmith, who has two children enrolled at Arapahoe and whose eldest daughter was a student during the 2013 shooting.

Highsmith said her children have encountered “nothing but support, kindness and encouragement” from Arapahoe faculty and administrators.

Highsmith’s middle daughter has experienced mental health issues and suicidal ideation, Highsmith said, adding she’s pleased with the school’s response.

Arapahoe High School Community Coalition attorney Jessica Peck speaks at an April 11 school board meeting.

DAVID GILBERT “The school counseling department has gone above and beyond to connect us with doctors, helped us get an (Individualized Education Plan), and all sorts of things I would not have known how to navigate on my own,” Highsmith said. “As long as the parent is willing to engage, the school is more than willing to reach out.”

Peck said coming weeks will flesh out the group’s concerns in greater detail, as they plan to go public with the results of the survey. The survey had received more than 1,000 responses as of April 9, Peck said.

“I can tell you, though, that regardless of what this survey says, the leaders of this coalition will have the same view: We’ve got to have leadership change,” Peck said. “We’re just in the early stages here.”

More Baby Boomers turn to Reverse Mortgage SPONSORED CONTENT - KATHY MUNI

A

ccording to a study recently released by Fannie Mae, more baby boomer retirees have mortgage debt than those retirees who were born between 1931 and 1935.

“Paying off the mortgage, once a widespread rite of passage for homeowners approaching retirement has become less common in recent years,” wrote Patrick Simmons, director of Kathy Muni strategic planning for Fannie Mae’s Economic & Strategic Research Group.

“The relatively high incidence of housing debt among boomer homeowners has the potential to strain their retirement finances,” Simmons wrote.

“Given that income typically declines in retirement, monthly mortgage payments could stretch the household budgets of boomers who exit the labor force without first extinguishing their housing debts.”

Many of those boomer retirees turn to a reverse mortgage to eliminate their mortgage payments as they enter retirement. While property taxes and homeowners insurance must continue to be paid, the removal of an oftensubstantial mortgage payment allows homeowners to ease the pressure of stretched financial obligations.

With less outgo comes a sigh of relief, as retirees may be able to delay taking social security until age 70, pay off high interest credit card debt, allow time for the retirement portfolio to grow, and find a myriad of other

uses for tax-free proceeds of a reverse mortgage.

Recent changes to the government insured Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (Reverse Mortgage) program

by HUD have reduced the amount of mortgage insurance paid annually from 1.25% to .5%.

Another group of seniors that are benefiting from a reverse mortgage are those who own their homes free-andclear. The equity, or housing wealth, available to such homeowners is often substantial, and access to a portion of those funds can be life changing!

More and more financial planners are encouraging their clients to look into a reverse mortgage. For some it is a matter of being house-rich and cash-poor. The proceeds may be taken as a lump sum, a line of credit that is guaranteed to grow at about 5% a year compounding annually, or a monthly income stream. Your goals will direct the best use of the proceeds.

Silver Leaf Mortgage is the TOP reverse mortgage broker in the state of Colorado by volume. We are in the top 65 in the nation. A+ rated by the BBB, we are pleased to be able to help many people who have been turned down by other lenders. Give me a call for a no pressure, no obligation conversation and information.

FROM PAGE 14

Highlands Ranch Mansion A small farmhouse built in 1891 eventually became the Highlands Ranch Mansion, a public property surrounded by historic barns, ranch houses, corrals and pastures.

“Through the years, each owner expanded the residence, adding their own style,” said Sherry Eppers, spokeswoman for the Highlands Ranch Metro District. “The unique details from different architectural periods can be found on both the exterior and interior of the building.”

The mansion was a residence until the late 1970s, and many Denver-area socialites called it home, Eppers said. Today, it’s a gathering place for celebrations, weddings and private events. The property was conveyed to the metro district in 2010.

“The mansion is a link to Colorado’s rich history,” Eppers said. “Residents enjoy learning about the history of the mansion’s families and the tradition of ranching in the area.”

The mansion sits at 9950 E. Gateway Drive in Highlands Ranch. For more information, see www.highlandsranchmansion.com.

Loretto Heights campus Perched atop a high point in Denver, the former Loretto Heights College building is visible for miles around in the metro area.

The 70-acre campus at 3001 S. Federal Blvd. was once a Catholic college. First named Loretto Heights Academy, it grew out of an effort by the Sisters of Loretto dating back to the late 1800s. Its reddish-brown administration building with a tower is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The campus became Teikyo Loretto Heights University in 1989 and Colorado Heights University in 2009. It closed around fall 2017 after an insufficient student population made it difficult to sustain the school, according to the university.

Concerned about the historical value of the campus and its future, several local residents held meetings throughout 2017, and meetings were

also held in 2018 and this January.

The developer who bought the property from the university, Westside Investment Partners, has announced it will renovate Pancratia Hall on the campus — once home to a dormitory — into affordable housing units, according to a January news release.

Westside has also said it is committed to preserving the administration building, the adjoining chapel and the cemetery, where dozens of nuns were interred.

Jefferson County government building First called “a veritable Taj Mahal” by detractors who opposed the county’s spending on the expensive building, the Jefferson County Admin-

istration and Courts Facility is now known lovingly by county employees as “the Taj,” according to Ronda Frazier, county archivist.

The county needed a new building amid population growth. Between 1972 and 1990, the courts’ caseload increased by almost 500 percent, and services had to be scattered throughout the county, Frazier said.

“The new building provided space for almost all of the county’s operations and was designed to provide services to citizens all in one location,” Frazier said.

The large, dome-anchored building at 100 Jefferson County Parkway in Golden opened in 1993, with architecture meant to mesh with the surrounding landscape. The wheat-colored brick matches the clay in nearby terrain, and the maroon granite used was inspired by the soil and indigenous sandstone, Frazier said.

“It was designed to reflect the life and architecture of the county’s namesake, Thomas Jefferson,” Frazier said. “The central atrium of the building was styled after the rotunda Jefferson designed for the University of Virginia and also the Jefferson Memorial rotunda in Washington, D.C.” But its most interesting aspect for Frazier is its butterfly-like shape when viewed from above, and its curved “wings” makes it appear smaller than it is.

The building “was designed by the architects to create a focal point,” Frazier said, “for what is a big, diverse governmental organization.”

He is risen! (Matt 28:6) He is risen indeed! Greater words were never spoken because they proclaim Jesus Christ’s victory over death & the grave (1 Cor 15:54b,55) & over Satan & sin (Col 2:15). His resurrection proves that God the Father was perfectly satisfied with His Son’s sacrifice on the cross for our sins (1 John 2:2; 4:10).

But there is more for the Christian! Because Christ was raised we are declared righteous (Rom 4:25). We have new spiritual life in Christ (Rom 6:4). We have victory over our old sin nature (Rom 6:11). We are seen by God as being seated in His presence now (Eph 2:6) where we can behold heavenly things (Col 3:1-4). We will be raised with new, imperishable, glorious, powerful bodies when He returns for us (1 Cor 15:43) Alleluia, what a Savior! hfsmail@basicisp.net

More than a century ago, in 1866, pioneer Frank Hildebrand purchased 160 acres of farmland along Deer Creek for $500 — in what is now south Jefferson County. The property included a log house, according to horticulturist Jennifer Trunce, who spoke to the Littleton Garden Club about Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield Farms, the now-700-acre property adjoining Chatfield State Park and Reservoir. It was set aside after the disastrous 1965 flood, which affected a large part of the south suburban area.

The Army Corps of Engineers controls the land and declared it a floodplain where no new building is permitted. Denver Botanic Gardens was allowed to manage the land, designated as Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield.

Existing buildings were grandfathered in … The original thought was to build a huge arboretum, with more varieties of trees than anywhere between Chicago and the West Coast.

Volunteers led schoolchildren through natural areas of wetlands, riparian landscape and fields, looking at native plants, birds and wildlife. Gradually a native plant garden developed, the historic farms were restored and a variety of defined types of gardens were planted instead, creating a fine spot for families and individuals to explore — during special events or just on any day.

migrant, was one of the first pioneers to settle in the area, and Deer Creek was the only source of water, running through the length of the property.

There was a log cabin on the land when he purchased it. He and his wife, Elizabeth, raised Hereford cattle and grew vegetables and sugar beets.

The Hildebrands built a larger house around the cabin, then in 1915, a separate large farmhouse, which stands today. A milking barn and other outbuildings were added. A cutting garden is planted near it and heirloom gardens.

Son Francis Hildebrand continued with the farming and added a granary, wood and blacksmith’s shops and ice house.

Francis also moved the Deer Creek Schoolhouse onto the farm when Chatfield Dam was built — or it would have been submerged. It is used as a visitors center, for classes, for brides and programs …

The owners were evicted by the Army

Corps of Engineers after the 1965 flood, as were the owners of the nearby Green Ranch, known for raising thousands of white Peking ducks, which they shipped to restaurants across the nation. The two-story, white Green House was renovated in 2016 and now holds 30 offices, Trunce said.

A Wayne Christian Garden honors the first director appointed in the 1970s to begin organizing this new operation.

Special gardens surround the farms, including the Mary Washburn Orchard and Heritage Garden. Some fields are cultivated with corn and pumpkins — see the Big Pumpkin Festival in October — and seven acres are devoted to crops for the Chatfield CSA (community supported agriculture) program, which supplies regular boxes of vegetables, fruits and flowers to subscribers and farm stands. (See website for information on how to participate: www. botanicgardens.org/chatfield-farms.)

Trunce said a new master plan is

A map on the website shows the Janice Form Memorial Dye Garden, established by members of the Rocky Mountain Weavers Guild, who manage it, grow dye plants and teach how to dye yarns and fabrics. Also nearby: a cut flower garden, herb garden, prairie garden, iris garden (one of the larger collections in the nation.), plant select garden, market garden. The large lavender garden matured enough to start holding a Lavender Festival last year, which drew a huge crowd and will be repeated.

One is allowed to bring food into the garden, so families may want to consider a summer picnic lunch at this pleasant spot.

Beyond the farms and developed gardens is a large natural area with three clearly marked trails towards the wetlands, where native plants, birds and wildlife await.

Dog’s experience with pot prompts woman to caution others Owner says pet ate an edible off the ground in Highlands Ranch

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Holly Hilborn wants others to be aware of pet marijuana intoxication after her beloved pup, Lily, likely ate an edible off the ground at a Highlands Ranch park.

Hilborn knew something wasn’t right when her normally energetic, 2-year-old Labrador retriever was lethargic, having trouble standing and experiencing tremors and urine incontinence after a March 30 visit to Kistler Park, 9603 Burntwood Way. They walk the loop regularly, but this time Hilborn’s dog ate something off the ground, buried under the snow.

“She swallowed whatever it was so quickly, and eats things off the ground a lot,” Hilborn wrote in a March 31 post to the Highlands Ranch community on a Facebook page. “We didn’t think much of it.”

That day Hilborn took her dog to VRCC, an emergency vet hospital in Englewood. A copy of the discharge summary provided to Colorado Community Media reads: “Based on Lily’s clinical signs, we strongly suspect Lily got into marijuana or THC (the active

Holly Hilborn had to take her 80-pound Labrador retriever, Lily, to the emergency vet on March 30 for symptoms associated with marijuana intoxication. Earlier that day, Lily ate what is believed to be an edible off the ground at Kistler Park in Highlands Ranch.

COURTESY OF FACEBOOK ingredient).”

Hilborn left the vet frustrated, angry, she said. She and her husband, who both work in the health care industry, never use marijuana, she said.

Her dog — which made a full recovery — started experiencing symptoms

pointing to marijuana intoxication two hours after the walk at the park, Hilborn said. Other symptoms in pets can be dilated pupils or glazed-over eyes, a dazed expression, difficulty walking and vomiting, according to Pet Poison Helpline, www.petpoison-

helpline.com.

The helpline has seen a 448 percent increase in marijuana cases since the substance was legalized in several states, according to its website.

Signs of toxicity can occur anywhere from five minutes to 12 hours t after the animal is exposed to marib juana and last 30 minutes to several a days, depending on the dose ingested, s according to the helpline.

Local officials say Hilborn’s experi- n ence is isolated. t The Highlands Ranch Metro Disn trict, which owns Kistler Park, hasn’t t heard of any experiences like HilI born’s happening at its 26 parks in the g community, according to Kari Larese, c community relations coordinator. e Sgt. Jeff Miller said that to the best of his knowledge, the Douglas County A Sheriff ’s Office has not heard of simi- b lar incidents happening. h Most of the residents who comS mented on Hilborn’s Facebook post q were empathetic — some even noted a similar experiences with their pets. A l few shared their support for CBD oil, o a cannabis product without the same psychoactive component as marijuana t D that is said to help ailments in pets.

H Hilborn’s advice for others: “If you or your family enjoy edibles w please keep them responsibly in your g home so our pets and children are not m at risk of being significantly injured f from a simple walk around the park,” a a she wrote.

APRIL WATER MAIN FLUSHING PROGRAM The City of Englewood Utilities Department will conduct its annual fire hydrant flushing program starting April 22.

During this week, the water mains throughout the City will be flushed between 7:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m.

The Water Distribution crews will isolate sections of pipe by shutting off valves to connecting pipes, then opening fire hydrants to full volume to clean residue and sediment from the water mains. The resulting surge of water flushes mineral accumulations from the main.

This sediment may be forced into the connecting service lines.

Residents may experience a flow of brown water from their taps during this time. If this occurs, turn on cold water only until the taps are flowing clear.

Crews will be unable to provide prior notification of the daily flushing schedules. Residents are advised to check their cold water on a daily basis during the week of April 22 to determine if their systems have been affected by the flushing.

Please contact the Utilities Department at 303-762-2635, with questions.

County earns national recognition for digital innovation STAFF REPORT

Arapahoe County received the Digital Edge 50 award for HSConnects, the business management software created by the county and used in human services, according to a news release.

The recognition is given to organizations that have executed digital transformation initiatives with significant, measurable business impact, the release said. It was presented by International Data Group, a technology media, data and marketing services company, during the Agenda19 conference March 18-20.

“I was honored to accept the Agenda19 Digital Edge 50 Award on behalf of Arapahoe County,” Arapahoe County Commissioner Nancy Sharpe said in the release. “Only one quarter of organizations that apply are awarded and recognized for their leadership and innovation in the area of technology.”

Led by human services director Cheryl Ternes and IT director David Bessen, the county developed HSConnects, an imaging, electronic workflow and interoperability program that is designed to ingest documents and data, read state systems for case information/requirements and deliver prioritized documents and tasks to the correct worker at

the correct time, the release said.

The technology allows families and individuals to bring in their documents and have them scanned immediately, prioritized appropriately and guaranteed accuracy so that human error is significantly reduced, the release said. Since its launch in 2015, error rates dropped from 30 percent to nearly zero.

The documents saved in HSConnects can be instantly viewed by other benefit specialists who can then identify, process and grant additional assistance to families and individuals quickly and efficiently.

This efficiency has allowed Arapahoe County to become one of two large Colorado counties to comply with federal and state timeliness mandates in 2016 and 2017. In 2018, the county was recognized by the National Association of Counties and was the only large county to receive consecutive C-Stat Distinguished Performance awards from the Colorado Department of Human Services for outstanding performance.

While Arapahoe County uses HSConnects for food assistance, Health First Colorado, Colorado Works and adult financial program, plans include expanding to child support services, child care, and child and adult protection services.

‘Helping a brother make a last wish come true’

BY ANN MACARI HEALEY AHEALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

From left, Blackhorse veterans Rocky Cuda, Christian “Maverick” Redman, CC Brown and Ray Simpson enjoy time together in the Hog’s Breath Saloon in Key West.

The city, at the tip of the Florida keys, was the end of Redman’s Last Ride, a place he always loved to be.

F

or Christian Redman, the Last Ride fulfilled a heartfelt wish: A celebration with his daughter in Kentucky on her 18th birthday, a reunion with fellow 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment troopers and veterans, and a chance to once more sink his toes in the sand of a Key West beach.

“I just want to thank everybody who hleped me — I really appreciate it,” said Redman, 51, a Parker resident who is dying of the late-stage colon cancer he has fiercely fought for three years. His doctors in November gave him eight to 16 months to live. “I never will forget it.”

Rocky Cuda, a retired sergeant from the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment — an Army unit also known as the Blackhorse Regiment — came up with the idea for a kind of make-a-wish last ride for Blackhorse troopers with Redman as the inaugural event. He called it Maverick’s Last Ride after Redman’s call sign from his Army days.

The plan was for a caravan-style road trip leaving March 4 from Parker to Louisville, Kentucky, so Redman could celebrate with his daughter on her 18th birthday on March 10, then on to the Daytona Beach bike week with the final stop in Key West. There would be other stops along the way where Blackhorse troopers and vet-

COURTESY PHOTO

erans, on motorcyles or in cars, could join in.

Ray Simpson, a Blackhorse veteran in Colorado Springs, offered to drive Redman in his Ford pickup, pulling a 36-foot camper. Redman’s friends and local veterans set up a GoFundMe account and held fundraisers to help cover the trip’s expenses and Redman’s ongoing medical bills. As of March 31, about $10,400 had been raised.

The Last Ride didn’t happen exactly as planned: Redman was too sick to make the road trip. But he was able to fly to Louisville to be with his daugh-

ter on her birthday. He returned home for doctor appointments, then flew to Key West on March 15, where he spent five days with Cuda, Simpson and several other Blackhorse veterans.

Simpson drove the route, meeting Redman in Louisville and Key West, and other Blackhorse veterans in Kansas City, Missouri, and Atlanta.

“This is what it was all about, helping a brother make a last wish come true,” Cuda said. “We didn’t really know if it would all work out.

However, we believed in each other and we believed that our Blackhorse family would come together and make

a dream come true for one of our own …”

Since his return from Key West, Redman has been struggling. Doctors have found more cancer in his liver.

He’s facing more radiation and chemo treatments.

The trip, he said, was a true blessing: “Key West was beautiful as always. It was good to see my brothers, and the weather was fantastic. It’s just a different atmosphere down there — something’s always going on. It helped me forget that I was sick for a little while.”

And, Redman said, “I did sink my toes in the sand.”

We’re here to treat them, 24/7.

Senior soccer player is a keeper Grace Cadorette brings hoops skills into goalie position

S

G

race Cadorette likes being a boss on the field.

Cadorette is a senior goalkeeper for the top-ranked Arapahoe High School soccer team and knows coaches on the sidelines and teammates on the field look for leadership from her.

“I kind of like being able to control the field in my own way,” said Cadorette. “Even though I might not have a direct impact, I’m kind of behind everyone’s decisionmaking, and no matter if it is a game where I get a lot of touches or a game where I don’t get many, I’m always involved from the other end of the field down to my end.”

Cadorette was one of starters on the basketball team last winter but sprained her ankle during the closing part of the season.

“I’d probably say I’m more of a keeper than a basketball player but it’s pretty even,” related Cadorette. “The way I see the court on the basketball court, where I see my teammates, that has helped me with soccer because it is easier for me to read the other team and see how my team moves.”

COACH’S TAKE: ‘She is an incredible athlete and one of the more intense competitors that I have coached on both the boys and girls sides. She has incredible hands and obviously basketball helps her with that and she has very, very quick feet. She’s a poster child for the benefit of having a multi-sport athlete. That dual training has benefited her and obviously us.’

Mark Hampshire, Arapahoe girls soccer coach

Arapahoe senior goalkeeper Grace Cadorette.

JIM BENTON

Q&A with Cadorette Who is your favorite athlete and why?

I would say my sister (Amanda) because she is very similar to me.

She played basketball and soccer in high school and growing up as well. She had two ACL surgeries in high school. She just kind of inspired me that no matter how many days you are out here and how much you want to go home, it’s all worth it.

What or who motivates you most to excel in soccer?

My teammates and my coaches, I have the goal to play well every time I’m out, but they are the ones that form the bigger goal like a state championship, and usually the better we are playing, the more fun we are having, and I love playing with them.

What would be a perfect performance in soccer?

It would be shutout and it wouldn’t matter if I touched the ball 20 times or once.

What do you like to do away from sports and school?

I really enjoy the mountains. I love to snowboard, I ski, too, and hiking. I love dogs, so hiking with dogs.

What are your plans after high school?

I am going to go to CU-Boulder and hopefully play club soccer and study business or biology or chemistry.

What is your most memorable moment in high school sports?

Sophomore year when we made it to the state championship. I just remember the feeling when we lost that game and seeing all the seniors’ faces and my own heart was broken. I just really want to get back there and have some redemption.

What is the toughest shot for you to defend as a keeper?

It is definitely easier for me to stretch out and dive because I feel like I am more athletic and agile.

My weakness is definitely the high balls and hitting them over my head because I’m short and don’t have much of a vertical leap.

Your feelings on the U.S. National Women’s soccer team filing suit for equal pay with the men?

I have mixed feelings. Since I am a girl, I feel we should get paid just as much, but at the same time, the men bring in so much more revenue, and I guess that’s why they get paid more. If the women brought in just as much, then why aren’t they getting paid as much?

Have a suggestion for whom to feature in Student-Athlete Spotlight?

Key stats | Cadorette is 4-0-1 in with two shutouts in seven games. She is third in the Centennial League with a 0.762 goals against average and her 3.7 saves per game rank fifth in the league.

pringtime in the Rockies usually means unpredictable weather and rescheduled games, matches and meets for high school teams.

And rescheduling postponed events isn’t as easy as it might seem.

“It’s a pain,” Douglas County High School Athletic Director Jeff Gardella said about the rescheduling process.

Agreeing on OVERTIME makeup dates, obtaining umpires and officials, securing venues and working around other school functions are just a few of the details that have to be ironed Jim Benton out by coaches and athletic directors in finding makeup dates.

The latest delay caused by a spring snowstorm was April 10 and 11, which brought back memories for many people about other bad weather situations during the spring.

Most games around the area were postponed on April 10.

Boys swimming, an indoor sport, is the only one that doesn’t have to be concerned about having meets postponed by weather.

Baseball is one of the spring sports that faces complications in the event of bad weather.

“You get into league (play) like everybody is right now and you don’t want to play back-toback days because it is messing with your pitching in baseball,” Gardella said.

With the shortage of officials in sports like baseball, lacrosse and soccer, that often eliminates possible makeup dates because no officials or umpires are available.

And for lacrosse and soccer games, with several schools using districtwide stadiums, games often have to be scheduled around other games. Often, lower-level games have to be canceled rather than postponed.

Seven Douglas County School District soccer and lacrosse games were postponed on April 11 because the district doesn’t like to plow or brush snow off the artificial turf of its stadiums to avoid ripping seams and having to later redistribute rubber pellets back onto the field.

County to allow beekeeping, backyard chickens STAFF REPORT

The Arapahoe Board of County Commissioners unanimously approved new regulations to allow backyard bee and chicken keeping in unincorporated residential areas, according to a news release from the county.

The new rules will become effective April 30 and are a result of a two-year, community-driven process to balance the needs and concerns of residents, the county news release said.

No special licenses are required for backyard chickens or beekeeping, the release said, and residents may need a building permit for certain improvements. Arapahoe County’s CSU Extension Program offers a variety of free resources for individuals seeking to start backyard operations.

Under the new regulations, residents on lot sizes of 1-acre or less can have two to eight beehive boxes, provided owners adhere to design and

setback standards, the release said.

Single-family residential units also can have up to four hens in coops that meet design and setback standards.

Owners must keep chickens in coops overnight, keep them on their property at all times, and control dust, debris and noise, the release said.

Homeowner associations have the ability to implement more restrictive policies than the county. Some municipalities already allow bees and chickens as well, the release said.

Residents can confirm whether they live in unicorporated Arapahoe County by checking ArapaMap. The County’s Zoning and Animal Services Division is responsible for ensuring code compliance and pursuing enforcement in response to complaints.

Residents can call 720-874-6711 or submit request online.

Residents can review specific regulations and additional resources online at www.arapahoegov.com/beeschickens.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might need to do a bit more investigating before making a career move. You do best when you come armed with the facts. A personal matter still needs tending to.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your creativity plus your good business sense once more combine to give you an important advantage in a difficult workplace situation. An ally proves his or her loyalty.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Avoid rushing into something just because it offers a break from your usual routine.

Take things a step at a time to be sure you’re moving in the right direction.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Bouncing back from a disappointing incident isn’t easy, but you should find a welcome turn of events emerging. Spend the weekend with someone special.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) An incomplete project needs your attention before someone else takes it over and uses it to his or her advantage.

There’ll be lots of time for fun and games once you get it done.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Doubts involving a potential career change need to be resolved quickly so they don’t get in the way when you feel you’re finally ready to make the big move.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Looking to blame someone for a workplace problem could backfire if it turns out you’ve got the wrong “culprit.” Best to get more facts before acting on your assumptions.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Patience might still be called for until you’re sure you finally have the full story that eluded you up till now. A trusted associate could offer valuable guidance.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Look into your recent behavior to see if you could have caused the coolness you might now be sensing from a loved one. If so, apologize and set things straight.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Easing up on your social activities allows you to focus more of your energies on a long-neglected personal matter. You can get back into party mode by the weekend.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A dispute with a colleague can be resolved peacefully once you both agree to be more flexible about the positions you’ve taken and allow for more open-minded discussions.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Volunteering to take on added responsibilities could be a risky way to impress the powers-that-be. Do it only if you’re sure you won’t be swept away by the extra workload.
