astle Rock art enthusiasts gathered for drinks, food and local art on Jan. 23 at an event hosted by the newly formed Castle Rock Art Cooperative. Three artists showcased their work — Paul Price, Matt

Rinn and John Asselta.

Price and Asselta displayed their steampunk sculptures, while Rinn highlighted his work with wood and natural elements.

Nick Lucey, president of the art cooperative, was excited to see the packed room at downtown food hall Ecclesia.

The art cooperative is virtual, meaning

it doesn’t have a gallery but connects artists online. They plan to host several events like the one on Jan. 23, Lucey said.

“I think this is kind of proof that this has been a long time coming,” he said of the organization. “I think people have been waiting for something like this.”

Colorado Community Media sports writer Backyard dreams I worked at Rocky Mountain News 41 years. I always say, “If you’ve got to go to work, you might as well go to a game.”

I got into writing in the Lincoln Log — the (Denver) Lincoln High School paper — and I’ve been doing it ever since … The old neighborhood paper, Barnum News, I wrote a few stories for them.

I can remember clipping box scores out of the paper and going out in the back yard, pretending like I was an announcer.

I worked at the Clarion newspaper at the University of Denver. I’ve sort of always been in the business.

Set on sports reporting Boy, if there was any other dream I had, I couldn’t tell you. If that Rocky job hadn’t come up, I don’t know what I would have done. I just knew it’d be something like that or in sports information.

I went to the University of Denver, worked at the Sports Information Department … I’d do hockey stats, deliver press releases, drop off releases at both papers — the Rocky and Denver Post.

I thought I’d apply to University of Northern Colorado’s sports information director job (but they had hired someone else).

The Rocky, that was my first reporting job. They sent me everywhere.

I went to cover the Nuggets vs. Detroit at the McNichols arena. It was just another game, I was told. It went triple overtime. It was the highest-scoring game in NBA history … You never know what you’re getting into.

I was at the Super Bowl in Miami, just doing what’s left over. It was Denver and Atlanta. The Monday-after-Super-Bowl press conference, that’s when John Elway officially came out and said he’s retiring. You’ve always got to be prepared.

Trump executive order required action for acceptance to go on

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Douglas County recently agreed to continue allowing refugees to be placed in the community in response to a recent executive order from President Donald J. Trump.

The move came after Executive Order 13888 was signed in September. The order mandates that refugees fleeing violence or oppression in their home countries can only be resettled in communities that have explicitly consented in writing to their presence.

County Manager Doug Debord and the county’s director of human services, Dan Makelky, sent a letter to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo stating that the county agreed to initial refugee resettlement in Douglas County.

Other Front Range communities that have consented to refugee resettlement include Littleton, Denver, Arvada, Centennial,

Golden and Arapahoe and Jefferson counties. Gov. Jared Polis signed a statewide consent letter in mid-December.

More than 60,000 refugees have been resettled in Colorado since the passage of the Refugee Act of 1980, according to state data. During the past two fiscal years, six refugees have been placed in Douglas County. Almost all came from Burma, with one from Ukraine.

To be granted refugee status, a person must prove that they have a reasonable fear for their life due to their race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group.

While refugees are able to move around wherever they want once they’re placed in the United States under the executive order, they will only be able to receive services from communities that have consented.

The county provides multiple services including housing assistance, schools, health navigation and cultural orientation, according to a fact sheet created by the state’s three resettlement organizations.

The executive order is currently being challenged in court and a judge has filed an injunction against it.

CORRECTIONS Markie Arendelle, quoted in the article “Modern libraries are much more than books” in the Jan. 23 edition, uses they/them pronouns.

A Jan. 23 article about the widening of Highway 85 misstated the total amount that Douglas County has contributed to the project. The correct amount is about $8 million.

Douglas County awards school district $6.8 million for security Grant process shows DCSD sought more than $12 million following STEM tragedy

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

More than $6.8 million is on its way to the Douglas County School District to bolster student safety, while STEM School Highlands Ranch — the site of a fatal shooting last year — is set to receive $56,000 from the same grant program.

Douglas County commissioners in May opened $10 million in onetime grant dollars to public, private and charter schools in the county.

Schools could apply for mental health resources and physical security projects.

“We knew that our community

was hurting, and we wanted to come together alongside of them and our school board and the rest of our schools,” Commissioner Lora Thomas said.

Commissioners on Jan. 14 approved an intergovernmental agreement with the school district awarding it $6.8 million. The funds were to be paid in a lump sum within 30 days of executing the agreement. The board will approve contracts with the charter and private schools that applied at a later meeting.

Commissioners thanked staff for their time working on the grant process — one marked by many unknowns and uncharted territory.

“I don’t think any of us had any idea what kind of workload we were putting on staff when the three of us came up with this idea,” Thomas said.

Questions such as how schools should apply, what sort of contract

they would use, if the county would issue large checks or pay in some other form and how public the schools’ plans might be made in the process lingered as commissioners announced their plan to offer the grants.

Many were ironed out over weeks and months as staff set up the program and in close consultation with district attorneys.

Douglas County School District Assistant Superintendent Ted Knight said he was not aware of previous partnerships between the county and schools of this kind.

Securing school buildings A key question throughout the grant process was if and how the county would maintain oversight of the public’s tax money once it was in the hands of schools.

The district’s agreement allows the board of commissioners to audit the

district’s grant projects and inspect the project areas. A report is due to the board within 90 days after the completion of a project or at the end of the school year if a project is ongoing.

“Focus your answers on how the project was beneficial to the students served and the outcomes you observed,” the agreement states. “Provide as much narrative as needed to demonstrate success and tell your story.”

Also of interest was how schools would focus the grants to make students safer, whether that be through hardening its buildings or supporting students’ mental health.

The district’s application showed a significant interest in funding physical security projects. It requested $11.35 million to heighten the physical security of its schools.

No charges for STEM security guard who injured students Shamson Sundara will enter a diversion program, per agreement with victims

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The privately hired security guard on duty during the STEM School Highlands Ranch shooting injured two students and was illegally carrying a weapon on school grounds, 4th Judicial District Attorney Dan May said in an announcement on Jan. 24.

But the guard also detained and disarmed one of the suspects, possibly saving more lives, May said, and acted in compliance with state law by using deadly force in an effort to stop the shooting.

The guard, identified by May as Shamson Sundara, will not face charges but will enter an adult diversion program, incorporating a restorative justice forum with the shooting victims.

The forum will be mediated by the 4th Judicial District Attorney’s Office, which began investigating the guard’s actions during the May

SECURITY FROM PAGE 3

Funds would help implement recommendations for the commissioners’ physical safety committee, which have been kept vague, but generally included improving communication and consistency in programs across county schools.

Commissioners formed two committees — one focused on mental health and the other on physical security of buildings — that compiled recommendations for the type of projects the grants should fund and guided schools in how to apply.

As for mental health support, the district requested $1.2 million in funding. The money could go toward an extensive list of tools, according to the application. School climate surveys, social and emotional learning curriculum and training for teachers and staff in a variety of programs.

The county ultimately approved funding $823,182 in mental health projects for the district, according to the intergovernmental agreement.

Projects include a climate and culture survey, social emotional curriculum, mental health training, pay for trainers’ salaries when training falls outside regular school hours and pay for substitutes.

Nancy Ingalls, the district’s personalized learning officer, said part of the training will focus on providing students with trauma-informed care. Children often have adverse experiences, she said, and teachers need to know how to spot signs of trauma and be sensitive to that in

7 shooting after 18th Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler forwarded the case to the office. Brauchler’s office is prosecuting the shooting suspects, Devon Erickson, 19, and Alec McKinney, 16. A spokeswoman said the office had no comment on May’s announcement.

As part of the agreement, Sundara will also complete 50 hours of Sundara community service.

“It should be noted that this agreement was reached in consultation with the injured victims and their families, law enforcement and the Douglas County School District,” May wrote.

Video played in court hearings for McKinney, who’s accused of masterminding the attack, shows the 16-year-old walking through the school halls with a gun pointed to his head, attempting to take his life when the guard discovered him.

Sundara was able to detain and disarm McKinney, who will face trial for 43 felony charges, including murder and attempted murder.

Several students were injured in the shooting. Senior Kendrick Castillo, 18, died while rushing Erickson.

Shortly after encountering McKinney, Sundara saw an individual dressed in street clothes round the hallway and then saw the muzzle of a gun, May said. He fired two shots in the direction of the gun.

Both shots missed the person but went through the wall of a nearby classroom and injured two students.

The person Sundara shot at turned out to be a law enforcement officer.

“As soon as the law enforcement officers identified themselves, Mr. Sundara immediately and fully complied with their commands,” May said.

The guard’s contract with STEM prohibited him from carrying a weapon on school grounds, but May said state statute permitted his use of deadly force in the situation.

“Our investigation has determined that his actions were in compliance with the applicable law,” May said.

Sundara, 30, has worked at BOSS High Level Protection for approximately one year. BOSS president Grant Whitus said the company holds Sundara as a hero who saved lives the day of the shooting.

“We didn’t believe from the beginning that Shamson would be charged with anything, so we’re

happy,” Whitus said. “He’s certainly a key witness going forward and he’s happy to help out the prosecution.”

He was not disciplined following STEM and has been promoted to an administrative position overseeing the company’s hiring and recruiting. Whitus said Sundara can still work in the field if he would like to.

“We wouldn’t stop him from doing that,” Whitus said.

Sundara is a military veteran who saw combat in the Middle East, serving in the U.S. Marine Corps from 2008-12. He returned home and joined the Jefferson County Sheriff ’s Office as a deputy in 2013, staying until 2017. Whitus worked as a sergeant for the sheriff ’s office at the time until he left to start his security firm and later hired Sundara.

Whitus said he could not comment on why Sundara was armed at STEM despite his contract prohibiting it or why he fired his weapon toward the responding law enforcement officer.

“I hail both of them for what they did but in the chaos in mass shootings, things occur,” Whitus said.

“He’s a witness for this prosecution, so he’s going to have to tell his story during these trials.”

the classroom.

“If adults understand the needs of kids, they’re better able to provide the supports that kids need, which leads to a culture of safety,” she said.

How the remaining $6.8 million grant will be spent was redacted because it involves the physical security of schools. Some projects are underway or will begin this summer, while other could take longer to implement.

“Some of the physical safety initiatives that will come out of this money, which for obvious reasons we wouldn’t talk in too great of detail, they’ll help harden our buildings, they’re helping with communication, they’ll help with observations, they help train folks,” Knight said.

“I think we’ve got a pretty good 360 on this.”

Under a section labeled, “Specify how funds will be used,” STEM’s application begins by saying, “Creating a safer, smarter and more engaging learning environment educators and staff must stay at the forefront of innovation to deliver a superior teaching with holistic safety environment,” before trailing off into blacked out line after blacked out line.

Also redacted were the findings of a safety and security assessment for the school, as well as details about any improvements made as a result of that assessment. STEM’s project was slated to begin and end in 2020 and would require a bidding process.

Commissioners said STEM was awarded $56,000, roughly 20% of its request, because they were careful not to approve projects that were represented in the district’s application, could be funded elsewhere or were an on-going expense, such as a school resource officer.

“The focus was on economies of scale and that there was not duplication,” Commissioner Abe Laydon said.

A spokeswoman for STEM provided a statement regarding its grant, but the school declined an interview about the grant process.

“We are very grateful that the Douglas County Board of Commissioners has accepted our grant proposal to further our ability to continue improving the safety of our school for our students and staff,” the statement said. “This funding will enhance security at STEM School Highlands Ranch. We look forward to implementing the improvements that this funding

will provide.”

Little detail District charter schools are represented in the district’s request and will receive some of the $6.8 million grant. But charters were allowed to apply individually for additional grant dollars as long as the projects were different from the district’s proposals.

STEM requested $253,000 to put toward $290,950 worth of work at the school, according to its grant application, provided to Colorado Community Media through a public records request.

The application, heavily redacted, provides little detail about STEM’s plans to boost the security of its building.

County and school officials have said repeatedly they were leery of exposing sensitive security details about local schools.

‘Our schools are safe’ School district officials said they were relieved by how commissioners steered the grant process following the shooting at STEM that left one student dead and eight others injured in May. School shootings often spur hyper-political conversations about student safety, Knight said.

“That could have happened here,” Knight said. “We were able to not get involved in that and instead just stay focused on school safety.”

Knight and the district’s director of school safety and security, Rich Payne, said the committees, comprising experts in each field, were instrumental in keeping the grant dollars directed toward researchbased tools.

By the time the committees presented their recommendations in July, Knight and Payne said they mostly suggested resources already used in the district.

“It’s pretty well understood that our schools are safe for kids and staff right now,” Knight said, “and this great, collaborative partnership has helped to enhance that safety for everyone.”

Commissioners said they spent hours discussing school safety with district officials. Thomas felt she gained a “very excellent understanding” of safety measures already in place through the process.

“All of this brought me much closer to our school board,” she said.

“I spent many hours with (school board president) David Ray. They weren’t always happy hours, but we debated, and we talked, and I have a respect for President Ray.”

Castle Rock police chief explains red flag policy Extreme risk protection orders became part of state law on Jan. 1

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Colorado’s hotly debated red flag law went into effect Jan. 1, meaning law enforcement agencies across the state implemented local policies for enforcing the gun legislation.

The state law allows a judge to temporarily order the confiscation of firearms from people deemed a threat to themselves or others. Law enforcement, household members or relatives can petition a judge to issue the protection orders, called extreme risk protections orders, or ERPOs. If the person petitioning the judge is a law enforcement officer, the bill also requires filing a search warrant request. The same is not true for a citizen-initiated order.

Under the law, those who don’t comply with an ERPO will be charged with a class 2 misdemeanor. Anyone who files a false, malicious petition for an ERPO can also be charged with a crime.

As of press time, there had not been any citizen-initiated or law enforcement-initiated ERPOs in Castle Rock, but a policy is in place to manage them if they arise.

Castle Rock Police Chief Jack Cauley spoke to Colorado Community Media about the town’s policy and how temporary or continuing extreme risk protection orders (T/ERPOs) will be enforced in Castle Rock.

Cauley

What do you think about this law? Does it have the potential to save lives?

What I can tell you is that our mission is to apply the law and ensure that we follow what the law states.

It is a new law, and it is a law that most of us don’t have a lot of experience with.

Any concerns?

I think we’re going to have to have some practical experience with the law before we know specific challenges that we need to address.

I think that as law enforcement agencies have experience with the law, we will have an idea of suggestions to legislators, if there are areas of the law that we can improve for everybody.

Will this department and its officers initiate T/ERPOs? The officers have been trained with the policy and the law and if they were to come across a situation that they felt was appropriate to utilize this law, our policy directs them to

Why place this under the investigations division’s oversight?

We felt that funneling these types of concerns and reports to them would provide us with a smaller group of people who have an expertise with how to move forward with these concerns.

How high should the bar be set for someone to pursue a T/ERPO? That’s a hard one. When an officer has a concern and if they are the ones that are observing the particular issue, then they have available to them the counsel of their supervisor, our legal department and certainly investigations will look at it. So, these decisions are not made in a vacuum.

Again, especially because it’s a new law and something that we don’t have a lot of history or experience with, we wanted to have a number of experienced law enforcement personnel involved in looking at the facts and then proceeding appropriately from there.

What should officers keep in mind when considering when to utilize this law?

The No. 1 concern is the safety of the community member that they’re having contact with, and then how they can provide that individual with the necessary protections.

There are many avenues that we have available to us outside of ERPOs that we can utilize, and that we do utilize on a daily basis, to keep people safe. This just happens to be one more tool.

The law does not automatically require a search warrant accompany a citizeninitiated T/ERPO. Will the police department seek one in that instance?

That will be fact-specific.

If we don’t have probable cause to believe that we need to get a warrant, then we won’t.

What if officers serve a T/ERPO and the subject of the protection order says they don’t have firearms?

If we don’t have probable cause to believe that they have guns, then we’re done unless we were to get further information.

It’s no different from any other situation we have where we don’t have probable cause for a warrant. We’re obviously not going down that road.

What happens if the individual who’s subject to a citizen-initiated ERPO, for which a search warrant has not been issued, confirms they have guns, but they refuse to surrender them?

If they say they have them, then we let them know that, as you can tell, the judge has signed this order for you to relinquish the firearms.

We would just take it from there and see where we need to go.

The town’s policy talks about how officers will prepare to serve a T/ERPO, emphasizing the need to collect background information on the subject, conduct risk assessments and consult the department’s Critical Response Team, which specializes in mental health calls. Why was this important to include?

We want to ensure the safety of our community members and the safety of our police officers, so we wanted to make sure that we are like we are in all these types of cases — be prepared as possible.

We want to be sophisticated about how we do this and use all the information that we have available to us.

What is the most important thing you want the community to know about how Castle Rock will approach the red flag law?

I want them to know that we have a comprehensive policy written, we have trained our officers well, we have and will work with our legal staff to ensure that as we apply this law it is done in the safest manner possible, while ensuring the rights of individuals are protected.

Probe can’t confirm sightings of drones

contact a supervisor and to forward this information to our investigations division.

So, we’re going to have a focal point within our department where any extreme risk protection orders that are generated go. We felt it was important to have it focused in one particular area of our department.

An official investigation into reports of large drones flying in groups over the Western U.S. plains in the hours after sunset has confirmed nothing illegal or out of the ordinary, a finding of little solace to folks who say the truth is still out there.

Investigators will scale back flights of a heat-detecting plane to try to corroborate reports as they’re made but will continue to look into new reports, Colorado officials said Jan. 14.

“The Department of Public Safety is committed to still gathering investigation evidence,” Colorado Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management spokeswoman Micki

Trost said.

The investigation focused on an area roughly along Interstate 76 through northeastern Colorado but didn’t extend into Nebraska or Wyoming, where reports also have been made. Several confirmed drone sightings in Colorado turned out to be small, hobbyist drones, known commercial aircraft or weather phenomena.

For Dan Carlson, who said he’s spotted and even followed large drones flying remarkably long distances near his farm in western Nebraska, the summary of findings puts little to rest.

“What I saw did not conform to either a hobbyist drone or a civilianaviation aircraft,” said Carlson, a retired meteorologist.

Bill aims to repeal Colorado death penalty After Dems’ failed attempts in prior years, two key GOP votes may change outcome

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After years of coming up short, advocates of repealing the death penalty may finally cross the finish line this year with newfound support from two Republican senators.

“From a philosophical perspective, I now don’t think the state should have power over life and death,” said state Sen. Jack Tate, a Centennial Republican who was undecided on the issue last year.

Tate and Colorado Tate Springs state Sen. Owen Hill, a Republican who also has voiced support for a repeal this year, may be enough to give Democrats the edge. The state Legislature has recently seen repeated attempts to overturn the death penalty: It failed in 2013, 2017 and 2019, despite Democrats controlling both the state House and Senate last year.

Democrats haven’t been united on the issue. Two of the three people on death row in Colorado — Sir Mario

Owens and Robert Ray — were sentenced to die in connection with the 2005 murder of the son of state Sen. Rhonda Fields, an Aurora Democrat.

Her son was a witness in another murder case involving Owens.

The experience places Fields firmly in opposition to repealing the death penalty, and last year, at least a few other Democrats hadn’t publicly committed to the repeal.

In the state House, Rep. Tom Sullivan, whose son was killed in the 2012 Aurora theater shooting, argues there are certain cases where capital punishment is warranted.

“There’s no question in my mind that the man that murdered my son and 11 others — 58 others shot, traumatized an entire community — there’s no question in my mind that he should be put to death,” said Sullivan, a Sullivan Democrat from Centennial.

The jury in theater shooter James Holmes’ case did not unanimously agree on the death penalty, so Holmes was not sentenced to death.

‘Irreversible mistakes’ Eighteenth Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler argues that the death penalty is a useful negotiation tool, pointing to the case of Chris

Watts, a Frederick man who pleaded guilty to avoid the death penalty after killing his wife and daughters in 2018.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Colorado calls the death penalty “an expensive, ineffective, and unjust government program that risks making irreversible mistakes by executing innocent people, delays justice for victims’ families, and wastes millions of dollars that could be better used on programs that actually save lives and increase public safety,” its website says. At least 166 people have been exonerated from death rows across the country, an ACLU Colorado fact sheet says.

The organization also argues that in Colorado, racial minorities are disproportionately likely to face the death penalty.

Sullivan, whose House district includes east and central Centennial, Foxfield, and nearby areas, said he may be willing to tackle some aspects of the death penalty, such as the uncertainty in whether it deters crime and that it is pursued more often in wealthier judicial districts.

“But in an instance that I was personally involved in and I see more people personally involved with, as I’ve said, I’m not going to be the one to tell those other families that they’re not going to be able to pursue the justice they want,” Sullivan said.

Along with Owens and Ray, the only other inmate on death row in Colo-

rado is Nathan Dunlap, convicted of murdering four people in 1993 shooting at an Aurora Chuck E. Cheese.

All three are black men who attended Overland High School in Aurora at different times.

Fields, whose Senate district sits near Overland, said race is a coincidence in those cases.

“I think they just happened to be black,” Fields said. Dunlap “is black, but he killed (people) that should be alive today.”

“I don’t think it’s about color — I think it’s about murder,” Fields added.

Brauchler, whose judicial district includes Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties, said there recently have been Colorado death row inmates of other races and some death penalty sentences were overturned by a 2002 U.S. Supreme Court decision in a case called Ring v. Arizona, which affected how states apply the death penalty.

On the issue of whether the death penalty deters criminals, the National Research Council reviewed research and found no credible evidence that the death penalty deters crime any more than long prison sentences, ACLU Colorado cites. The National Research Council is an arm of the National Academy of Sciences, a nonprofit that studies national and world issues.

Castle Rock OKs strategic plan for fire department Document outlines six goals for upcoming five years

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Town of Castle Rock’s fire department has a newly approved strategic plan for the next five years, outlining six major goals of the department.

The department has been nationally accredited through the Commission on Fire Accreditation International since 2012.

Fire Chief Norris Croom said its strategic plan is a significant part of being accredited. The department has implemented a strategic plan since 2010.

The department’s six goals for 2020-2024 are: • Improve and update the fire training center.

• Plan and implementation of fleet service and logistics facility.

• Develop and implement a comprehensive wildland mitigation program through creation of a community wildfire protection plan.

• Review and update software and hardware technologies.

• Develop a special operations management plan.

• Equip all facilities to minimize return to service times and provide for the ongoing health and wellness of department members.

In drafting the 2020-2024 plan, approved by council on Jan. 21, the department hosted open houses and conducted its first online survey to solicit public opinion. The goal was to better understand the public’s priorities, expectations and concerns, Croom said.

A staff report said that outreach found the community’s top expectations included well-trained personnel, adequate response times and adequate staffing.

The plan shows their top concerns were with growth and development, staffing, resource deployment and funding.

“The top community concern is growth and development; more specifically the department’s ability to keep pace with and be able to maintain its existing levels of service as the community continues to grow,” the plan states.

A 17-member committee representing all shifts and ranks in the department took community feedback to create the 2020-2024 plan, which is available at CRgov.com. The plan’s approval has no impact to the town budget, although it highlights projects and estimated project costs that could be incurred with future council approval.

Property tax bills are out — questions, frustrations are in Assessor’s office has heard a few main concerns from residents

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After property tax bills were sent out the week of Jan. 20, questions, comments and concerns began pouring into the Douglas County assessor’s office.

“We have had about three times the normal number of phone calls and walk-ins in our office in the last few days,” Assessor Lisa Frizell said.

Many of those calling and walking in are asking the same questions about appealing their home valuations, applying for the senior property tax exemption and where their money is going.

The senior tax exemption allows longtime property owners over the age of 65 to reduce the taxable value of their property. For this year’s bill, it can only help those who were eligible and applied in 2019. Residents can apply for next year’s exemption until July 15.

Another major question from residents is why their property taxes seem to constantly increase, Frizell said.

This most recent year was an assessment year, meaning home values were reassessed by the county based on comparable home sales. Single-family home values in Douglas County in-

creased on average by nearly 15%.

Residents who believe their home’s valuation, which makes up part of the property tax bill, is incorrect can file an abatement appeal within two years of the date taxes are due.

Only those who didn’t appeal their valuation when it was initially set in 2019 can apply for this. The process can take up to six months and doesn’t extend the due dates on a tax bill.

Frizell predicted that people would be shocked by how much their bills went up this year due to value increases and state-set assessment rates.

Many people have also asked about what happens to this revenue once they submit it, Frizell said. That often leads to the assessor’s office explaining metro districts and how they came to exist, since there are so many in Douglas County.

“Over two-thirds of the taxing authorities are metro districts,” Frizell said.

Often, the assessor’s office directs folks to their website, douglas.co.us/ assessor, or an online tool called YourDougCoTaxes.com. Both allow residents to see what taxing districts exist where they own property.

“That really explains how your tax distribution looks,” Frizell said.

There are two options when paying these bills: Residents can pay one installment or split the tax into two equal payments. If one payment is selected, it’s due by April 30. If the tax is split, the first payment is due Feb. 29 and the second is due June 15.

Bond set at $250,000 for woman charged with daughter’s murder Kelly Turner alleged to have wrongfully convinced doctors her child was terminally ill

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A former Highlands Ranch resident who was charged with the murder of her daughter has been granted bond.

A grand jury charged Kelly Turner, 41, with 13 counts, including murder, child abuse, theft and forgery in October. The charges came after she convinced doctors in 2017 that her 7-year-old daughter, Olivia Gant, was terminally ill, according to the indictment.

Turner raised funds for the child’s sickness and had a Make-A-Wish party for her daughter, according to the indictment. Then she allegedly refused care for her daughter against a Turner doctor’s advice. Within weeks, Olivia died.

Judge Patricia Herron granted Turner a $250,000 bond during a Jan. 21 hearing. Turner was still being held at the Douglas County jail as of Jan. 22.

The 18th Judicial District Attorney’s office asked the judge to set the bond at $4 million, claiming Turner was both a flight risk and a danger to the community. Turner was living in a hotel at the time of her arrest, SEE TURNER, P39

Economists discuss ways to ‘keep Colorado competitive’ Annual forum claims south metro economy is poised for another strong year

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The economy of Denver’s south metro area will look a lot like last year’s, experts say, and the speed bumps to the region’s growth remain present as ever.

Colorado continues to be a national model of economic growth. The state is a leader in tech jobs and workforce education, yet it slipped nationally, from fourth to ninth in one year, in a Forbes ranking for the best places to do business. Sustaining that growth will require a look at the state’s funding sources and local policies, local economists say.

“The risks to Colorado’s economy are, frankly, not economic risks,” said JJ Ament, CEO of the Metro Denver Economic Development Corporation.

“The risk to Colorado’s economy in 2020 is politics and policy … We can’t let complacency develop of having it so good for so long that we don’t pay attention both at the Capitol in Denver and Washington.”

The South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce held its annual Economic Forecast Breakfast Jan. 24 at CU

Henry Sobanet, chief financial officer of the Colorado State University System, speaks during the annual South Metro Chamber Economic Forecast Breakfast Jan. 24 at CU South Denver in Lone Tree.

NICK PUCKETT

South Denver in Lone Tree, a meeting of local economists, politicians and business leaders to discuss the state of the local economy.

Ament said the 2020 economy will look similar last year’s economy. The same problems in the region remain, namely the state’s local politics and policies, Ament said. Ament said the minimum wage increase, which went into effect this year, was one example of a policy that could end up hurting more than it helps.

“Everything I told you last year about Colorado’s economic forecast for 2019 is the same for 2020,” Ament said. “In almost every respect it’s the same. It’s going to be great. Colorado is riding a fantastic economic wave.”

“I’m not going to focus on the economic forecast,” Ament continued, “because everything is going to hold true for this year, we think.”

Instead, Ament focused on how to stoke Colorado’s competitiveness with states such as California, Arizona, Washington, Oregon, Georgia, Utah and Texas—states that Colorado is in constant competition with, Ament said.

Utah, for example, spends double on roads what Colorado does, a factor that could affect Colorado’s economy in the long run, Ament said.

“For the first time in six years, on I-70, my wife and I turned around Friday afternoon and drove back instead of finishing the route,” Ament said.

“Don’t think for a second that Utah isn’t explaining that to every single person they meet. It’s not just the mountain traffic, it’s everything else.”

Ament added that Utah grows faster than Colorado in job growth. Supporting that claim was a U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics study released last year showing Utah was the No.1 state in the country, at a rate of 3.7%. As of 2018, Colorado’s rate hovered around 1.8% The presentation and panel discussion centered around “keeping Colorado competitive.” Ament said Colorado is slipping in some categories that could hurt its job growth in the long run, specifically the state’s trouble with transportation funding.

“The systems that we have that sup-

port our economy, support people’s lives and make Colorado great have a connection to what the future will be like,” said Henry Sobanet, chief financial officer of Colorado State University. Sobanet’s presentation suggested the systems that brought Colorado to this point may not bring the state to the same level of vibrancy in the future.

Attracting and retaining skilled workers locally will be important to maintain the state’s upward trajectory.

Colorado ranks second in the nation (behind Massachusetts) in workforce education level, Ament said.

“There’s very good evidence that an advanced education will make your life better if you measure it by how much money you make,” Sobanet said, citing a statistic from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. “Therefore, it translates into better tax revenue and the vibrancy we have in Colorado.”

Sobanet said to remain competitive, the state needs to invest in its public transportation system. Sobanet referred to the incremental revenue growth seen from fuel taxes — from $4.5 million in 2003 to about $6 million in 2019 — compared to the 43% rise in prices in that time. Sobanet presented a diagram illustrating how Colorado’s Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights clashes with the state’s requirement for increasing public school funding (Amendment 23) and limits to property tax growth SEE ECONOMY, P11

Sportsman’s Warehouse to open in Parker Retailer takes over site of former Gander Mountain

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Sportsman’s Warehouse will open in February in Parker in the building that previously housed Gander Mountain.

The Alaska-based sports and outdoors retailer will be located at 18420 Cottonwood Drive, replacing Gander Mountain, which opened in 2016, reopened in 2018 and ultimately closed last year.

The facility is 57,000 square feet.

“As we continue to grow our brand and business, we are excited to expand our presence in Colorado and California,” Sportsman’s Warehouse CEO Jon Barker states in a press release from Jan. 16.

Two new California stores are planned to open in 2020, one in Brentwood and one in Corona.

“While other competitors deemphasize or exit the space, Sportsman’s continues to opportunistically open new stores and grow our business through both ecommerce and store locations,” Barker states. “We look forward to serving these communities through providing outstanding gear and exceptional service to inspire outdoor memories.”

The release states additional openings will be planned “in the near future.” Sportsman’s Warehouse will have 107 stores in 27 states once the

three new locations open. Colorado has seven Sportsman’s Warehouse locations.

Camping World Holdings Inc. bought the bankrupt Gander Mountain in 2017.

Camping World planned to reopen as Gander Outdoors with slight changes in 2018.

The building was built amid a development boom in 2016, when the Gander opened a slew of stores across the country, many of which shuttered within their first four years.

The building on Cottonwood Drive, across from Costco near E-470, was built specifically for a sportsman-type retailer, outfitted with a reinforced gun room and plenty of floor space. Matt Carlson, economic development director for the Town of Parker, said the store closed because of a corporate bankruptcy and had nothing to do with the Parker Gander Mountain location’s success.

Sports and outdoors retailers, like Cabela’s, Carlson said, were an area of “retail leakage” the town identified—a case of sales tax dollars leaving the town for services not offered in Parker. Big 5 Sporting Goods is the only other similar store in Parker.

The next closest sports and outdoors retailer is Cabela’s in Lone Tree, which opened just west of I-25.

“There’s enough difference there in the makeup of their products and their price points we think they will differentiate themselves,” Carlson said.

And, Carlson said, the new store could be a regional draw for the town. There are two other Sportsman’s Warehouses in the Denver area, one in Sheridan and another in Thornton.

(the Gallagher Amendment), forcing the state to foot high education bills, which detracts from funding for public roads.

No one suggested TABOR should be repealed or modified, but both Ament and Sobanet suggested the state needs to find better sources of funding for transportation. Voters last year turned down Proposition CC, which would have allowed the state to retain dollars for education and transportation funding above the TABOR spending cap.

The Denver region can expect to add about 30,000 jobs and 10 million square feet of office space in 2020, Ament said. Many of those jobs will come in the tech industry. Colorado ranks fourth in technology job concentration in the country.

“The reality is, if you have more than 10 employees in your company, you’re a tech company,” Ament said.

The third panelist, Skillful CEO Beth Cobert, suggested to employers in the audience to focus on skills.

Cobert spoke about Skillful’s mission. Skillful is an initiative to create a skills-based labor market from the Markle Foundation, a nonprofit tech and health care company.

Cobert said 80% of today’s jobs require at least a moderate or high level of certain skills. Cobert encouraged employers in the audience to consider hiring people on a skill-based platform over strictly looking at experience or credentials.

Cobert gave the example of a local sushi chef who rose to a high-ranking position because the employers were looking for a specific set of skills—attention to detail, ability to do repeatable tasks, etc.

“That’s what we mean when we’re saying looking for talent in different ways,” Cobert said. “That’s the kind of model we can unleash across Colorado.”

VOICES

In the war of words, the words are losing ead” not only means “first,” “foremost” and “front,” lead is a heavy metal, hence Led Zep-

pelin.

An old adage in journalism is “don’t bury the lead.”

Journalists are not QUIET supposed to begin a story with details DESPERATION of secondary importance.

However, I am uncertain what my lead is this week. Perhaps by the time I have finished I will know.

Of course, by then it will be too late.

If I had to take a Craig Marshall guess, I’d say my lead is the wonderful Smith conundrum of language, as per the following (nonsense).

I read the news today and while I was reading the news I was wearing a red sweater I bought in a store in Redding, California.

There was an article in the paper about a bicycle race that took place in Leadville. The woman who was in the lead most of the way fell back because, she said, “I couldn’t get the lead out.”

As I dwindle and fade, I am fascinated by things I wasn’t when I was younger and had other considerations on my mind, such as the birds, the bees, and how to osculate.

Now, as I swan song my way into the arms of oblivion, it’s often words that fascinate me, and it’s why I am saddened by the abuse of them as I have noted many times before.

Chiefly: the preternatural use of “like,” to qualify, clog and clutter almost everything that is said by almost everyone under the age of 40.

Why? Why? Why? What if journalists for this publication and for the major dailies were equally lax and leisurely when they reported, oh, let’s say an impeachment hearing?

“There were like all these men and women in this big room and they were

like arguing, you know, and this one guy Mitch-something he, uh, boy, was he upset about something.”

I may not know what my lead is, but I know exactly what I am doing.

I am defusing something of great importance with something of little importance. It’s what I do — it’s what we do — in order to survive.

Current national and international news is awful.

Closer to home, if there is an illness or a death in the family, it can be overwhelming and unmanageable.

So something is said about the shirt your husband wears to your son’s funeral.

That’s another one of my film references.

It comes from “Ordinary People,” a movie directed by Robert Redford that stars Mary Tyler Moore who gave the best performance of her career.

She is the controlling matriarch of a family in disrepair after the oldest son died.

She scolds her husband, portrayed

by Donald Sutherland, on the day of the funeral because of the color of the shirt he has chosen to wear.

I have isolated that scene numerous times. There’s a lot in it.

It also changed my opinion of Mary Tyler Moore. I didn’t think much of either of her situation comedies.

Redford knew there was more to her than exclaiming “Rob” and “Murray.”

Where was I? The English language.

Raymond Chandler, in response to a proofreader who corrected one of his split infinitives, replied, in part, “Would you convey my compliments to the purist who reads your proofs and tell him or her that I write in a sort of broken-down patois, which is something like the way a Swiss waiter talks, and when I split an infinitive, (expletive), I split it so it will remain split.”

Think of abundance, not scarcity, and win consistently

I

t has been said that the fear of loss is more powerful than the possibility of gain. It has also been said that some of us live with an abundance mentality while others choose to live with a scarcity mindset.

In a recent strategic and tactical planning session with a few clients, WINNING this very topic WORDS became one of the drivers of our conversations. We were discussing potential partnerships for the company, and as we did, one person championed the idea while another person shot down the idea.

The person champiMichael Norton oning the idea was convinced that the partnership would yield additional results and revenue.

The person who was against the partnership felt like effort would create problems, as they already had competing partners, projects, and priorities.

Basically, the opinion was that the

pie was already too small and creating another slice might dilute the best interests of everyone involved.

As I facilitated the discussion and listened to both sides, I stopped the conversation and asked if it would be helpful if I shared a story about a company and individuals facing a similar situation and where some advice that I had been given really paid off. The team said yes, and I shared some of the greatest pieces of wisdom that I had ever received.

As we revisited the abundancy versus scarcity mentality, I first shared with them the following statement, “There is money and opportunity everywhere.” A former colleague of mine who had decided to leave the position he was in to take an executive role with another company had written an email to all of us as he finished up and was about to leave the organization. It was motivating and encouraging with just the right sense and tonality appropriate for his departure.

The burning question on everyone’s mind was why. Why was he choosing to leave? For some, they believed he

saw a bigger and greater opportunity ahead, albeit risky, and he was stepping out to take a chance and believe in the abundance mentality. Others believed he left because he saw the company as having hit their peak and that any opportunity for future growth was going to be limited. Fewer deals, fewer sales, and less earning potential. This was a scarcity mentality that invoked fear for those who couldn’t see the bigger picture.

By the end of our strategy session, we all agreed that the partnership made sense and created a plan to manage the existing partnerships, priorities, and projects to maximize success while also creating a plan to optimize the new partnership. The abundance mentality had won the day.

Outside of business, how often do we choose the scarcity mentality, afraid of what could go wrong instead of planning for what will go right?

Our defensiveness kicks in and we condition ourselves to think or say “No” first. We see life through the lens of loss instead of gain. Then one day, someone shares with us exactly what we need to hear, that money and op-

portunity are everywhere, all we have to do is pursue it and take the actions necessary to get after each opportunity.

If we never ask the questions we want to ask, the answer will always be no. If we leave every putt short, the ball will never go into the hole.

Regardless of our career, role, or interests, there is opportunity everywhere, and not only is opportunity everywhere, it is available to each and every one of us. It just becomes so much easier with an abundance mentality instead of a scarcity mentality.

How about you? Do you see the obstacles or the opportunities? Is your belief system a limiting belief system or an expansive belief system? As always, I would love to hear your story at mnorton@tramazing.com, and when we can see the abundance of opportunities everywhere, it really will be a better than good week.

OBITUARIES BAILEY

Primrose Jean Jacqueline Bailey

Primrose Jean Jacqueline Bailey, age 91 passed away in Longmont on Sunday 12/22/2019. She was born March 12, 1928 to Ronald Percy Davies and Frances Emma Davies (Lord). Primrose was born in her childhood home at 39 Cumberland Street, Ipswich, Suffolk, England. She completed her schooling in Ipswich and was employed as a textile operator before immigrating to the United States arriving in New York City on November 1, 1946. Primrose came to join her American finance, Robert, who she had met during World War II. Robert Bailey and Primrose Davies were joined in marriage at the First Methodist Church of McAllen Texas on November 20, 1946.

Survivors include her sister, Pam Day of Chester, Cheshire, England; Sisters-In-Law Sue Dusek of Fair Oaks Ranch, Texas, and Carmen Troutman of Mission, Texas; Daughters Pamela Stonecipher (Ray) of Longmont; Bailey Carroll (David) of Denver and Janet Davis (Steve) of Melksham, England. She is also survived by 6 Grandchildren, 5 GreatGrandchildren and 4 Great-Great Grandchildren as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Primrose was predeceased by her husband Robert; her youngest daughter Gail Ina Bailey; her Father and Mother; brother Walter Davies and sisters Mary Fox, Peggy Hayward and Joyce Goshawk all of England.

While Primrose was her given name it was shortened at times to just “Prim”, or sometimes she was called “Rosie”. Her early life was lived entirely in Ipswich, England. She often recounted that she had a wonderful, loving family. Primrose especially revered her mother. She was also very close to her sister Pam, as they were the youngest, though she loved each of her siblings greatly. Some of her most cherished memories of growing up in England were vacation trips to the seaside town of Felixstowe and many happy Christmas celebrations.

While she never traveled far from home, her life would one day take a sudden turn, taking her far away from the home she loved. It was World War II and a chance meeting with an

American serviceman who was stationed near Ipswich began a new life adventure for her. His name was Robert Bailey. They courted, fell in love and later became engaged. The war was coming to an end and Robert was shipped back to the States to be discharged in 1945, bringing Primrose to the United States in November 1946.

The couple married in McAllen Texas, then lived in Massachusetts and St. Louis, and landing in Jonesboro, Arkansas in December 1948 where their first daughter Pamela was born.

In 1950 they made their way to Denver. The couple continued to call Colorado home for the rest of their lives. Three other daughters were born, all natives of Colorado; Bailey, Janet and Gail. Robert found a good job with Gates Rubber Company and Primrose was a stay-at-home Mom to her four girls. In 1952 Primrose became a bit of a “pioneer” woman when the couple purchased a one-acre tract of land in Douglas County called “Riverside Acres”. They set out to build their own home almost entirely by themselves. This small community was home to them for many years and was a perfect place to raise their children. In 1965 after a devastating flood had hit a large part of Douglas County and Denver, plans were made by the Army Corp of Engineers to build a dam, requiring that the entire community move. The couple then moved to the village of Louviers just a few miles to the South. They lived in Louviers until 1984. By then Robert had retired and so they made their final move, relocating to Loveland. No matter where they lived, they made many friends and created wonderful memories along the way.

Over the years Primrose and Robert traveled many times back to England, as well as California, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Missouri, Arkansas and Hawaii just to name a few. Many of the British family came to visit Colorado as well which was so special to her. Primrose loved

camping in the mountains, especially Rocky Mountain National Park. “Rosie” became proficient at cooking over a camp stove and sleeping in a tent though she was happy when they upgraded to a little travel trailer! Many happy times were spent visiting Robert’s side of the family in Texas and especially to South Padre Island when all their children were younger.

Primrose loved her daughters immensely and loved spending time with her grandchildren. In her later years, and as her dementia progressed, “Grandma” may have had trouble recognizing the newest little one’s who came to visit, but she smiled with delight each time they came to spend time with her just the same. Primrose had many special friends in her life, some of whom were British war brides like she was. She came to love her American homeland, but she forever missed her beloved England.

The legacy of Primrose might be that she ran the race set before her with grace and dignity.

She was devoted to her husband and as his health began to fail, she faithfully took care of him at home until his passing. They had been married 59 years. During her life she battled breast cancer, a brain tumor, stroke and dementia. Perhaps the most difficult personal time was the loss of her youngest daughter Gail at age 8 in a tragic accident.

Despite it all she had an unfailing faith in her Savior. She would tell you that she depended on that faith to give her the strength she needed to get through the tough times in life.

Primrose will be greatly missed…She was a proper English lady always. She is home now. Cheerio Primrose … *The family wishes to thank the entire staff of The Peaks Care Center, Longmont, Colorado for their loving care of our Mother Primrose.

Memorial contributions may be made to the Alzheimer’s Association. A private family graveside memorial service will be held in May in Castle Rock.

IT’S SMALLER, BUT WE

AIN’T DEAD YET

Community service groups push for younger recruits amid membership challenges

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

T

hey help distribute eyeglasses to people in need in other countries. They make sure cancer patients get Valentine’s Day gifts. They light children’s faces up with much-needed school supplies.

They’re the smiling faces at community concerts and other events.

And yet many people have no idea they exist.

“The name is not out there,” said Mike Shaw, a 63-year-old Lakewood resident who volunteers with the Kiwanis Club of Belmar, a local chapter of the international Kiwanis service organization. He didn’t know what Kiwanis was until around the time he joined, now 13 years ago.

Familiar names to older crowds — such as the Rotary and Lions, similarly minded service groups — have been struggling for decades as participation has declined. A bevy of news stories in recent years — and not-so-recent years — has pointed to that trend. As far back as 1992, a New York Times story sounded the alarm about membership decline for various possible reasons, such as Americans staying less rooted in one place or young people possibly feeling like the clubs were “out of synch with the times.”

“On balance, I think the Rotary has declined in membership and has not appealed to younger generation or women,” said Lynn Hoffman, professor of business management at Metropolitan State University of Denver and a Rotary member since 1994. “My particular club has been a little better about getting women and diversity and younger people in, but that’s not true generally.”

One president of a small Lions club in the Northglenn-Thornton area remembers the Lions being much more of a local fixture.

“I can remember as a kid we would have Lions picnics with all the families together,” said Zoe Reese, whose father was a founding member of her club in 1959. Reese felt the club was more connected to the community back then.

Clubs such as Reese’s have experi-

enced shrinking numbers. That trend may be due in part to an aging membership base, something that Rotary clubs in general have experienced and are focusing on, said Gail Lehrmann, a Parker resident and president of the Rotary Club of Parker.

Many members have died or moved away, Reese said of her club.

The overall trend is a loss in clubs in her north Denver metro area, she said, but some, such as in Arvada and Denver’s Stapleton neighborhood, are new or revitalized.

“Yes, it’s smaller, but we ain’t dead yet,” Reese said.

Theories abound on why, including the idea that young people may not identify with an older crowd. Then there’s the societal change that social media has brought about, allowing young people to find connection without the aid of community groups.

“I think (that’s) partially correct there,” Hoffman said. “I don’t think that’s the whole answer, but yes, they’re meeting their social needs totally differently than we are.”

An old bell bearing the logo of Kiwanis International sits at a Jan. 23. meeting of the Kiwanis Club of Belmar. It came from an antique store in Canada, according to club member Mike Shaw. Local clubs generally receive bells from the international organization and ring them at the start and end of their meetings, according to the Belmar club.

Wings Over the Rockies opens drones exhibit STAFF REPORT

With drone applications for home use, entertainment, homeland defense, and more, will people continue to make the critical decisions or will computers take over the controls? Find out in “Drones: Is the Sky the Limit?” the latest traveling exhibition coming to Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum.

Over 75 years, drones have evolved from remote-controlled planes used for target practice into versatile and highly specialized aircraft.

As these aircraft fill the skies, they raise concerns about airspace, privacy, and ethics in modern warfare, ac-

cording to a news release. But these concerns are eclipsed by excitement for their potential: someday drones will explore Mars, serve as pilotless flying taxis, and deliver packages and groceries to our front doors.

Opening Saturday, Feb. 1, “Drones: Is The Sky The Limit?” features real drones, in-depth label paneling, and rich audio-visual content. In addition, it displays a drone racing video interactive, and provides a birds-eye view of the aeronautics, engineering, science, technologies and innovations of one of the most intriguing topics dominating our culture.

Developed by subject experts from the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum

and produced by Imagine Exhibitions, “Drones: Is The Sky The Limit?” explores the modern phenomenon of drones, their uses throughout history, and the possibilities of the future role that drones will play in our society.

“With drones becoming such a big part of our culture, it’s essential to better understand their evolution and role in contemporary society,” Tom Zaller of Imagine Exhibitions said in the release.

“Drones: Is The Sky The Limit?” will be open daily to the public through Friday, May 8 at 7711 E. Academy Blvd., Denver. The exhibit is included in the price of museum admission. Learn more at WingsMuseum.org/Drones.

Memoir recounts longing, looking for birth mother

Seattle author has roots in area around Littleton

Sara Easterly’s book, “Searching for Mom,” is set mostly in Littleton, where she grew up as an adopted child. She held a book discussion and signing at Tattered Cover Aspen Grove on Jan. 12.

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Sara Easterly recently introduced her newly published memoir, “Searching for Mom,” to an audience at Littleton’s Tattered Cover, where the book sold out. Easterly, a Seattle resident for 20 years, says she still has Littleton area connections and memories: Her dad lives in Castle Pines and her sister is in Highlands Ranch.

When we spoke via phone recently, she recalled growing up in the Littleton area: living on Windermere Way and in Centennial (Highlands 460) and attending Powell Middle School, Arapahoe High School and CSU, where she minored in English, as a start on a broadcast journalism career. “I just didn’t do that,” she continued. “You have to start in a small market …”

Instead, she headed west to Seattle, to work in high-speed data processing, which didn’t work out — and met her husband, which did work out ...

“I consider myself a children’s and young adult author,” she said, adding that she’s presently working on a YA novel. She has worked in publicity for books as a career — and always includes Tattered Cover when planning tours for authors.

She started writing as a young girl, she says in this memoir of growing

up an adoptee, with a loving home, but still … She was compelled to seek out her birth mother and be reassured about her origins before she could get on with her adult life smoothly. “In adoption circles, there’s a phrase: `living in the fog,’” Easterly said.

“Searching for Mom” opens, sadly, with back-to-back trips for Sara, struggling with her mom’s impending death, searching and finding spiritual help and launching into childhood memories of herself as a 7-yearold, caring for a dying butterfly and discovering her family church and its teachings, as her mother became more involved there … At 9, she was able to express her feeling that her

birth mother hadn’t wanted her — “threw her away …”

And her struggle to find that birth mother — and to define “the perfect mother” — stayed with her, despite a loving home and parents who supported her. Her adoptive mother did later give birth to her sister, Amy, who married and had a baby named Kenna, with whom Sara fell in love … and for whom she grieved when a genetic lung disorder took the baby’s life.

Sara married Jeff happily and tried to be a “Perfect Parent” to daughters Violet and Olive, but the search for her mother continued, aided by her loving husband … and an adoption

search agency.

It had been a “gray market” adoption, rather than one conducted through an agency, because the mother was only 15 when Sara was born and she was immediately pressured to consider adoption, so conventional search channels did not work. When that mother was finally located, Sara refused to accept her at first, having dreamed up idealized figures resembling Madonna or Rebeca, a psychologist who headed a group counseling program. Here was a woman who looked like her …

And her adoptive mom really wanted nothing to do with finding the birth mom.

“Couldn’t all three hearts be honored?’ Sara wondered. But as she learned of the obstetrician’s pressure on the young mother, Diane, to give the child up for adoption — and societal pressures, she backed off.

The book continues to its last pages as Sara and Amy travel final days with their mom and Sara finds increasing certainty about her faith.

A contributing factor was a genetic predisposition to a lung disorder, which took baby Kenna and eventually, Sara and Amy’s mom. Later, Sara developed lung problems, and survived a double lung transplant.

Throughout, her faith carried her through and it enters into her final sentence …

“Searching for Mom” by Sara Easterly is available from bookstores.

Siblings bond over basketball

ELEVATING THE GAME

S

ThunderRidge’s Nolan Marold (11) waits for Douglas County defender AJ Jackson (1) to clear his view of the net before going up for his shot. Marold led all scorers with 18 points as his Grizzlies defeated the Huskies 64-50 Jan. 23 at the Grizzly Den. PHOTO BY PAUL DISALVO

ometimes for Rocky Beers and his sister Raegan, it is difficult not to bring what happens on the basketball court home with them.

Rocky, a 6-foot-6 senior, and Raegan, a 6-3 sophomore, are having good seasons so far for the Valor Christian boys and girls basketball teams.

However, often OVERTIME what happens on the basketball floor winds up coming home.

“Usually when we get home we talk about our school day and our practice and what happened because we Jim Benton didn’t see each other’s practice, so we talk about what happened,” said Raegan, who is averaging 14.6 points and 9.3 rebounds for the Eagles.

“A lot of it goes home,” agreed Rocky, who was a tight end on the football team and is scoring 7.9 points and grabbing 8.5 rebounds for the basketball team. “College basketball is always on our TV at home.”

“We’re a pretty close family so we tell each other pretty much everything about what is going on, mostly basketball,” added Raegan. “Usually all the stuff about basketball comes home.”

Both admit to being competitive with each other.

“Yeah we are competitive,” said Raegan. “We race to everything to who is going to shower first or who eats what first and like who gets the leftovers.”

Both almost simultanously utter that Rocky is usually first.

The siblings got to watch each other play several times during the preseason but not during the Jeffco conference season because of scheduling.

So what is the reaction when they do watch the other play?

Are there positive or negative responses?

“I get to see most of her tournaments during the offseason,” said Rocky. “That’s pretty fun. For me it’s more like healthy criticism, like `you could do this better’ or it’s like `hey, make your free throws.’

“For her, she is more encouraging.”

Aspen’s siblings have since found homes. Aspen will be available for adoption after Super Bowl Sunday.

Based in Broomfield, Rocky Mountain Puppy Rescue is the only rescue representing Colorado this year in the Puppy Bowl. Since August 2010, Rocky Mountain Puppy Rescue’s mission is to save cats, kittens, puppies and adult dogs from being euthanized in overcrowded kill shelters.

They place these rescues with foster families until they are adopted to their forever homes.

The rescue promotes its mission through education about spaying and neutering, proper exercise, feeding, grooming, training and always adopting first. Combined with its NM Spay

It Forward Spay Neuter Program, the rescue’s transfers and adoptions have brought over 8,000 animals to safety.

Aspen will be one of seven puppies to be featured in the Puppy Bowl’s behind the scenes “Pup Close and Personal” segments. Aspen’s segment was filmed on a trail in Estes Park. In years past, 100 percent of the puppies and kittens that have participated in the Puppy Bowl have been adopted.

Animal Planet continues this tradition this year with a new set of animals that are ready to tumble and fumble into their new homes across the nation. While we will be sure to keep score of touchdowns and puppy penalties, these pups playing the game are sure to go big and go home.
