‘He was an angel among us’ Kendrick Castillo was killed while saving others, classmates say

endrick Castillo was kind, talented, a hero.

Castillo was killed in the May 7 shooting at STEM School Highlands Ranch. He was less than two weeks away from graduation.

His senior quote: “The most difficult roads lead us to the most

beautiful places.”

Penny Eucker, executive director of STEM, called Castillo the “glue of the senior class.” He was always positive, she said. Everyone who met him felt safe with him.

“He did have a transcendent smile and he was an angel among us,” Eucker said, holding back tears. “When people say be kind, he was the definition of that.”

Castillo, 18, charged a shooter who had entered his classroom in an effort to save others, classmates said.

Castillo was a member of FIRST Robotics Competition Team 4418, according to a Face-

book post from FIRST. He was also among the first students to intern at Panther Industries, an automated labeling equipment manufacturer in Highlands Ranch, just down the road from STEM. Then just 16 years old, Castillo was determined to learn all facets of a professional manufacturing job.

“Our hearts go out to Kendrick’s family and friends, and to all affected by the shooting,” FIRST, a nonprofit robotics organization based in New Hampshire, wrote on Facebook.

Documents show disagreement, and some underlying tension, led to the discontinuation of a contract that provided a school resource officer at STEM School Highlands Ranch.

The school’s security was put in the spotlight following a May 7 shooting that left one student dead and eight others wounded. The school contracts with the private security company BOSS High Level Protection, an arrangement that followed the end of STEM’s contract with the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office following the 2017-18 school year. A security guard was on site at the time of the shooting and reportedly helped detain one of the suspects.

In a May 10 news release, Sheriff Tony Spurlock said STEM had not been making the best use of its school resource officer’s time and provided 20 pages of documents detailing the relationship between DCSO and the school. A Denver media outlet had made a public records request for the documents.

Within an hour, STEM responded with a news release of its own.

“The unfortunate fact is that schools with and without SROs have experienced violence,” reads a statement from STEM’s public relations firm. “With regard to the tragedy on May 7, 2019, we credit both the actions of our

Polis urges wildfire vigilance amid milder forecast Governor cautions against ‘false sense of security’

Rock Creek Volunteer Fire Department Chief Brita Horn, right, talks to Col. Will Gentle, director of aviation for the Colorado Army National Guard, on May 7 next to a Blackhawk helicopter from Buckley Air Force Base in Aurora. The aircraft provides “water buckets,” rescue hoisting and a medical evacuation kit that aid in responding to wildfires.

After an onslaught of raging wildfires in Colorado in 2018, this year’s fire season looks to be less severe, but state officials are urging the public not to let its guard down.

“I don’t want it to lure people into a false sense of security,” said Gov. Jared Polis, speaking May 7 at the state’s 2019 wildfire outlook briefing.

The event at Centennial Airport in unincorporated Arapahoe County, just south of Centennial, featured input from public safety officials who noted the wildfire season this year will likely be average to below average.

“Today, we’re looking at 130 to 140 percent of average snowpack,” said Mike Morgan, director of the Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control. “It appears (this year) will have above-average moisture and belowaverage temperature.”

Rising population and climate change have caused wildfires and other natural disasters to become more costly, Polis said.

“Fires don’t know jurisdictional boundaries,” Polis said, noting that fires can start on federal land but spread to county or private areas.

Officials emphasized the coordination between federal, state and local agencies to respond to blazes.

Out of the 20 largest wildfires in Colorado’s history, five occurred in 2018, a fact sheet from the fire prevention division said. Thirteen happened since 2010, and all 20 occurred since 2000, according to the division.

The 2019 outlook is “considerably better” than at this point in 2018, the division said. Although a repeat of last

year’s severity is unlikely, an average year sees more than 6,000 fires that burn more than 100,000 acres on state and private land, with large fires still occurring, according to the division.

In the Denver metro area, mountain communities in west Jefferson County bear risk because fires that start in vegetation can reach homes, Morgan said after his address.

“We’ve been asked if what happened in California can happen in Colorado,”

Gov. Jared Polis gives an address on Colorado’s 2019 wildfire forecast May 7 at Centennial Airport. The event at 8082 S. Interport Blvd. in unincorporated Arapahoe County, just south of Centennial, featured addresses from public safety officials and up-close looks at aircraft and land vehicles used to fight wildfires.

Morgan said, referring to that state’s recent, especially destructive fire season. “The answer is yes.”

Stan Hilkey, executive director of the state Department of Public Safety, joined other officials in a reminder that homeowners should take precaution.

“While we all do our part as emergency responders,” Hilkey said, “individuals need to take proactive steps in preventing wildfires as well.”

Stroke center at Swedish Medical Center is second to none in the world

A

t Swedish Medical Center, when a patient suffering from a stroke is handed off from the EMTs, it takes an average of 17 minutes from door to treatment – significantly better than the national average from door to needle, which is 60 minutes.

When asked how Swedish Medical Center became a world leader in treating patients suffering from a stroke – Thomas said they never stop working to get better. Thomas said back in 2013 a collaborative team started meeting and discussing how to improve. Saving time from door to treatment was the top concern. Developing the program over the years, Thomas said Swedish has a 17-minute average, but tracking the fastest time, one patient was processed, diagnosed and under treatment in 7 minutes.

Brian Thomas, the Swedish Medical Vice President of Neurosciences, Orthopedics and Spine, said his team knows that when someone is suffering from a stroke, every second counts, which means Brian Thomas getting treatment as quickly as possible is vital to the patient not suffering irreversible damage.

“At Swedish, an enormous amount of collaboration goes into improving the time it takes to diagnose a patient,” Thomas said. “When a page comes in that a stroke patient is coming, everyone drops what they are doing and starts working immediately.”

Calling it a well-oiled machine is an understatement. Thomas said as an ambulance is enroute to Swedish, nurses and doctors have already been

gathering information from the EMTs. Once the patient arrives, nurses are immediately taking vitals, another nurse is on the phone with the patient’s home or care center asking for a list of current medications, doctors are assessing, a CT Scan and image of the brain is taken within the first few minutes to diagnose the type of stroke and assess the next steps. Treatment

to stop the damage begins in less than 20 minutes.

“It’s a perfect storm of everybody coming together and doing what they have to do,” Thomas said. “When it comes to a stroke, about 30,000 brain cells are killed per second.

Taking all of these important steps to save time is our team saving a brain from long-lasting damage.”

“It’s remarkable what this team has done,” Thomas said. “Every member of the team has their specialties.

Surgeons always want to do their work in their area. However, as a team, we all put our specialties aside and decide what’s best for each individual patient.”

Not settling for the success already achieved, Thomas said the stroke team at Swedish Medical continues to come together weekly to discuss every

single patient and address areas that can still be improved.

“We look at trends to manage and adjust, and use only the best technology and treatment options” he added. “We know that these steps we are taking, all this time we are saving, is giving every patient the opportunity to escape a stroke with minor impacts.”

It’s this commitment that has also allowed Swedish Medical, to attract world-class surgeons, nurses and staff.

“Swedish has dedicated an enormous amount of resources to give treatment to stroke patients that is second to none in the world,” Thomas said.

“That means we attract only the best surgeons and doctors. Our efforts attract the best worldwide.”

Colorado’s Finest students take next steps

ome of them have dealt with homelessness, while some of them have chronic illnesses — but that didn’t stop them from obtaining a high school diploma.

More than 50 students graduated from Colorado’s Finest High School of Choice in Englewood on May 11.

“We believe in empowering the people in this building, because really the people are our greatest resource,” Principal Bobbie Skaggs said.

Skaggs emphasized how Colorado’s Finest is like a family.

Some of the students transferred to the school from other Denver metro area high schools. Many of them have plans to attend college at Arapahoe Community College, Metropolitan State University of Denver, Red Rocks Community College and other schools.

“This is the day we start our lives that we’ve looked forward to since we were children. A lot of (students) here at Finest (didn’t) have the best start in high school, but that’s OK,” said Clayton Shine, one

Colorado’s Finest High School Principal Bobbie Skaggs and the school’s graduating class of 2019. of the students who graduated. “We earned a second chance to graduate, and we did just that.”

Colorado’s Finest offers students a chance to go through a program with a flexible schedule.

“I felt such an instant connection and instant support coming from all my teachers.

It was incredible, the genuine

STEM denies allegations made by anonymous parent School filed lawsuit for ‘defamatory statements’

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The executive director of STEM School Highlands Ranch adamantly denies allegations made by an anonymous school parent that STEM’s climate and culture are out of control.

“I can’t even fathom why someone would fabricate these sort of statements,” Penny Eucker said when reached by phone on May 9.

The allegations were the focus of an article published by CNN.com on May 9, two days after a shooting at the school that killed one student, Kendrick Castillo, and injured eight others.

Among the allegations that were made in December 2018 were rampant drug use, bullying, concerns about violence and misuse of school funds.

In an emailed statement through a public relations company on May 9, STEM said school officials investigated the allegations months earlier and found them to be false.

“At STEM School Highlands Ranch, our priority is the safety and wellbeing of our students, staff and the STEM community,” the statement says. “We investigate every

complaint and concern, regardless of the source. This includes threats, bullying, allegations of criminal behavior and/or mental health concerns.”

STEM, a K-12 charter school of about 1,800 students, had been asked to do an investigation by a Douglas County School District official after the accusations came to light. Like other charter schools in the district, STEM has its own governing body and operates autonomously — though the school receives public funding and must have its charter renewed by the school district’s board of education.

Candice Craig, a parent of three STEM students, said she was disappointed to see the allegations surface in the media. The school has a strong community, she said, adding that her kids thrive in the “hands-on” learning environment.

“We need to heal right now,” Craig said. “We don’t need to be part of the collective voice.”

On Dec. 19, Daniel Winsor, director of choice programing at Douglas County School District, sent an email to Eucker outlining allegations made by the anonymous parent to school board member Wendy Vogel via phone.

Vogel reported certain information to the Department of Human Services and the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office, and the district requested the

charter school investigate the allegations to determine their legitimacy, according to the email.

Vogel did not respond to a request for comment for this article.

One of the concerns the anonymous parent shared with Vogel was that of “student violence due to a high-pressure environment.”

“The individual expressed concerns about a repeat of Columbine or Arapahoe,” the Dec. 19 letter states, in reference to the sites of fatal shootings in 1999 and 2013, respectively, at schools less than 10 miles from STEM. In January, Eucker filed a lawsuit against “Jane Doe” for what she called “defamatory statements” against the school. The lawsuit was filed in district court on Jan. 17, according to a copy obtained by Colorado Community Media. Eucker and STEM are listed as the plaintiffs.

In response to the district’s initial email, Eucker and Mark Alpert, the president of STEM’s board of directors, sent a letter to the school’s parents on Feb. 1 outlining the allegations.

In the emailed statement on May 9, the school provided background information on the allegations.

“Some of the allegations were the type many schools receive – student drug-use, the pressure to perform well, and students with mental health concerns. Other allegations

were more unusual – staff members or board members embezzling money and laundering it in China and Mexico, forcing students to clean up human feces with their bare hands, and teachers instructing students how to build bombs in class.

“STEM’s administration team immediately opened an investigation to determine whether there was any substance to the allegations. As part of this investigation, and in the spirit of full disclosure, STEM reached out to its 2,800 parents to inform them of the complaint in the hopes that any student or family member with knowledge of the allegations would confidentially share that information. STEM did not receive responses from any parents or students with information about these allegations. While STEM took the allegations seriously, our investigation revealed no evidence to support any of the allegations raised in the anonymous complaint.”

DCSD Superintendent Thomas Tucker would not comment on the matter when reached by phone May 9, directing inquiries to the district’s communications staff, which responded with contact information for STEM’s public relations firm.

School board President David Ray also referred questions to the district’s communications department.

‘There was no hesitation, there was no looking around’

rendan Bialy said the decision to act was made quickly. Actually, it wasn’t a decision at all. It was instinct.

“It was immediate, nonhesitation,” Bialy, an aspiring Marine, said. “There was no questioning, there was no hesitation, there was no looking around.”

Bialy said he, Kendrick Castillo and another student subdued one of the suspects who had entered their classroom in the May 7 shooting at STEM School Highlands Ranch that left eight students injured and one dead.

Castillo was killed and the other student was wounded and did not want to be identified, said Bialy, who was not injured. Bialy said he and a teacher put compression on the chest of Castillo after he had been shot.

“What I saw yesterday was the absolute best of people,” Bialy said at a May 8 press conference. “I got to see two heroes, two regular high school kids, two awesome people, jump into action without any hesitation. I was more than lucky to join them in doing that action. Some-

Bialy, of Castle Rock, said

the incident will give him the confidence to act when called upon when he begins service.

He is currently a poolee in the Marine Corps Delayed Entry Program, a program people enlist in before being shipped to basic training. A poolee

is a person who has already signed up to become a Marine but has not left for the 13 weeks of recruit training.

The U.S. Marine Corps released a statement in response to Bialy’s efforts.

“Brendan’s courage and

commitment to swiftly ending this tragic incident at the risk of his own safety is admirable and inspiring,” the statement reads. “His decisive actions resulted in the safety and protection of his teachers and fellow classmates.”

How to help STEM shooting victims STAFF REPORT

An official fundraising page has been set up for STEM School Highlands Ranch via The Foundation for Douglas County Schools. It can be found at www.coloradogives.org/ STEMstrong “All donations received through this campaign will be used for the benefit of our impacted students.

Thank you for your support during this time,” the website states.

In addition, a fund started last year to help victims of mass tragedy

The Colorado Healing Fund is chaired by former Colorado Attorney General Cynthia H. Coffman and the nonprofit organization’s board of trustees, according to a news release.

“The Colorado Healing Fund exists to serve as the trusted, statewide organization for the collection of public donations in the aftermath of a mass tragedy,” Coffman said in the release.

“Donations from caring Coloradans

can be channeled to organizations working directly with victims of this terrible tragedy. If you want to help, we encourage you to give through the Colorado Healing Fund and know your generosity will help victims, survivors, families and the STEM School Highlands Ranch community in the weeks and months ahead.”

Donations can be made by visiting ColoradoHealingFund.org and donating through Colorado Gives.

Checks and in-person donations will be accepted at Colorado-based FirstBank locations. Donors should make

checks out to “Colorado Healing Fund” and designate their donation for “victims accounts” to bank tellers.

Donations will be distributed to victims by the fund’s community partners, including the Colorado Organization of Victim Assistance, the release states.

Local victim assistance organizations and Douglas County officials are partnering with CHF to determine how best to support individuals and families after the STEM shooting, according to the release.

Castillo lunged at the gunman, who shot the teen. Castillo’s swift action gave the rest of the class time to get underneath their desks and then run across the room to escape, Giasolli said.

Castillo, friend and classmate Brendan Bialy said, felt an obligation to protect his fellow students.

Bialy said Castillo rushed the shooter and was like a “bowling ball” coming toward him. Bialy said he and another classmate, who was injured and did not want to be identified, helped Castillo bring the suspect down.

Bialy, who was not injured, said Castillo was interested in cars and the two met in an internal combustion class at STEM. Bialy said the two of them would cruise around and just talk or watch funny videos together.

“Kendrick Castillo died a legend,” Bialy said. “He died a trooper... I love that kid.”

Rachel Short said Castillo was a funny and empathetic person who loved others and was a part-time employee at her manufacturing company, Baccara USA, based in Englewood.

“To find he went down as a hero, I’m not surprised,” Short said.

“That’s exactly who Kendrick was.”

Cecilia Bedard, 19, knew Castillo since elementary school and said he was always friendly, modest and excited to help people. He made a point of always joining his father at Knights of Columbus fundraisers and bingo nights.

“He was amazing,’’ Bedard said.

“He was honestly the sweetest kid I ever met. Never said a mean joke.’’

‘We’ve practiced for this’

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

First responders descended on STEM School Highlands Ranch within moments of the initial 911 call, said South Metro Fire Rescue spokesman Eric Hurst, and years of training paid off.

“We’ve practiced for this,” Hurst said. “It’s about following the experience we all have, and applying it to a real-world worst-case scenario.”

South Metro joined forces with Aurora Fire Rescue, West Metro Fire Rescue, Denver Fire Department and ambulances from as far away as Bennett and Strasburg.

All told, 79 vehicles, 148 fire and medical personnel and three medical helicopters responded to the scene of the May 7 shooting that left one student dead and eight injured, Hurst said.

The emotional toll of responding to a mass-casualty incident can be intense for first responders, Hurst said, but in the moment, their training takes over.

“It’s really beyond just doing tasks like applying tourniquets,” Hurst said. “Through our training sessions, they get

South Metro provides all its personnel with resources to deal with the trauma of horrible scenes, Hurst said, including peer support members, post-traumatic stress service

dogs and mental health professionals.

Years of coordination with other agencies was evident during the shooting, Hurst said.

‘We need to grieve’ The Mountainview Church in Highlands Ranch held a prayer service and candlelight vigil May 8 to memorialize and grieve the victims of the STEM School shooting May 7, which occurred just down the road.

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Mountainview Christian Church in Highlands Ranch held a prayer service and candlelight vigil May 8 memorializing the victims of the STEM School shooting the day before.

Senior pastor Ken Hensley led the service, which featured song and prayer from leaders of the church. At the end of the service, the congregation sang “Amazing Grace” while holding candles to remember the victims, students and families of the school — which is just down the road from the church — especially Kendrick Castillo, who died to protect others during the shooting.

Hensley described his experience at the Northridge Recreation Center, where parents were taken to reunite with their children. He talked about the different emotions he saw — from worry and confusion to relief and love. He spoke about how he saw families coming together, evident by one family of four, with one high school-aged and one middle schoolaged student, holding hands walking down Broadway.

“We need to grieve,” he said. “We need to express our doubt, we need to express our anger, but in the end, if you are a person of faith, and you are a person of hope, a person that believes, I would encourage you to be a person who holds onto the God who holds onto you.”

District attorney on school shooting: ‘Here we are again’ ALLEGATIONS

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Eighteenth Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler lived in a home in Highlands Ranch for 18 years.

His four children are in the Douglas County school system. His wife’s business is roughly one mile from the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office substation in Highlands Ranch.

He knows the area well.

After all, he “grew up in these parts,” Brauchler, now a Parker resident, said.

Brauchler And if someone had told him that within 20 miles and 20 years of tragedies including the Columbine High School shooting of 1999, the Aurora theater shooting (which Brauchler prosecuted) of 2012, and the Arapahoe High School shooting in 2013, there would be another fatal shooting

in his community, he’d have thought they were “mad.”

“Yet, here we are again,” he said May 8.

One more school shooting was the reality as Brauchler spoke to media from the Highlands Ranch substation one day after two suspected student shooters entered STEM School Highlands Ranch and allegedly opened fire on their classmates.

Senior Kendrick Castillo, 18, was killed, and eight other students were wounded. One student remained hospitalized in fair condition as of May 10 — at Littleton Adventist, according to a hospital spokesperson — while the others had been treated and released.

Brauchler asked the community to remember that the shooting would traumatize far more than the students and their families who would technically be classified as victims in the case.

The school comprises a student body of approximately 1,800 students.

Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock

said at least 600 would “definitely” be affected because of their proximity to the shooting on school grounds when it began.

The next morning, more families were feeling the aftermath of the tragedy, Brauchler said.

“Moms and dads, looking at each other, making decisions about whether or not to send their kids to school in one of the greatest school districts in the country because they don’t feel safe,” Brauchler said.

Gov. Jared Polis joined Brauchler, Spurlock and other leaders at a 6 a.m. news conference on May 8 to provide updates on the shooting. Polis called the state resilient but frustrated with the number of shootings that have occurred throughout Colorado’s history.

“Yes, we come together in grief,” Polis said. “We also come together to heal. And we come together to figure out what we can do better as a state and society.”

STEM recently had its charter renewed for three years rather than the optimal five years. The charter renewal came with the following conditions: that the school adopt and publish a parent complaint and communication policy, show the school’s graduation standards meet the state’s requirements and provide a description of the school’s strategic plan to expand.

In STEM’s May 9 statement, Eucker said the school’s highest priority is the safety and wellbeing of students and staff.

“We are proud of the welcoming, inclusive community at STEM School Highlands Ranch, and we strive to meet each of our students’ unique needs,” Eucker said. “Like any school with more than 1,800 students, we receive complaints, all of which we take seriously and investigate promptly.”

Letter to the community from Englewood Schools superintendent

T

oday, we mourn with our fellow school community in Highlands Ranch after yet another shooting where there was loss of life. I wanted to reach out to you because I know the school shooting yesterday at STEM School Highlands Ranch in Douglas County is affecting you, just as it is affecting me. Any incident at a school can bring out fears and anxiety, especially when the school is in a neighboring district. Many of us have friends, neighbors, or colleagues who work at the STEM School or whose children attend the school.

Dropping your kids off today was probably difficult for you. I want to reassure you that safety is the number one priority for us at Englewood Schools. We work diligently to make sure that our buildings are as safe as possible and that all of our staff are trained to respond to an emergency

situation. Our partnership with Englewood Police ensures that we will have an increased police presence at and around our schools this week, and we will continue to have a police presence at our bigger end of year events as well.

We also know strong communication and watching out for each other is the best safety measure for our children, students, staff and our entire community. Students can go to www.Safe2Tell.org or call 877-542-7233 to anonymously report anything that concerns or threatens them, their friends, family, or school community. Englewood Schools staff monitors this important source of information constantly to provide supports for students in crisis. As staff, students, parents and community members, we all have a responsibility to tell school administrators if we have information that may

affect the safety of our students or staff.

Some families may be struggling to make sense of what took place yesterday. Talking to children about these kinds of events can be difficult.

Processing and discussing the events can help with healing, so we encourage you to take time to talk to your students, and to reach out to friends, relatives, or professionals if you need support. Our social-emotional support staff are prepared to assist students who may need help working through feelings about this event and they are available to students in each of our schools.

Here are some resources that may help guide conversations: • Talking to Children About Violence: Tips for Parents and Teachers (www.nasponline.org/resources-andpublications/resources/school-safety-and-crisis/recovery-resources/

talking-to-children-about-violencetips-for-parents-and-teachers) • Tips for Talking to Children and Youth After Traumatic Events (www. samhsa.gov/sites/default/files/tipstalking-to-children-after-traumaticevent.pdf) This spring has been difficult.

Incidents of concern and safety have been frequent. I’m so proud of and grateful for our staff members.

I know that they care deeply for our students and their safety. I also know that they are enriching the lives of our students and making school a great place to be. I am also grateful to be part of the Englewood community and know that we can lean on each other as we move forward.

Kind Regards, Wendy Rubin, Ed.D. Superintendent Englewood Schools

Englewood Creates to put Colorado joins Super Tuesday presidential primaries spotlight on art Down-ballot races will Black Cube Headquarters will host free event on May 23

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Englewood wants to bring together the city’s artists, creatives and artsdriven small businesses, and it will have the opportunity to do so at the Englewood Creates event.

The free event, which will be held at the Black Cube Headquarters at 2925 S. Umatilla St. on May 23 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., will aim to help Englewood’s art community grow. Other goals of the event will be for artists, creatives and arts-driven small businesses to share resources with each other.

Among those who will speak at the event are Englewood Mayor Linda Olson.

“Englewood Creates will showcase the wide variety of highly talented artists and creative entrepreneurs from our community and allow for their continued growth through networking, partnering, and friendships that are made at this exciting event,” Olson said.

Those who attend the event will

be treated to local food and beverage vendors and live music.

“When you look at Englewood’s creative sector such as culinary professionals, graphic designers, software developers and cabinetmaker, they are all playing a significant role in Englewood’s economic development,” said David Carroll, executive director for the Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce.

The event will be sponsored by the City of Englewood, Englewood Cultural Arts Commission, the Museum of Outdoor Arts and others.

“We invite the entire community to come and celebrate the arts with us at this fun and casual event,” said Toni Arnoldy, Englewood’s community relations coordinator.

The Colorado Business Committee for the Arts, an organization that works to advance the state’s creative economy by bringing business and the arts together, sees art as something that can help a community thrive.

According to the organization’s 2018 economic report, cultural tourists spend an additional $22.50 on non-ticket items when attending an arts event.

That number comes from people who go shop at retail stores, or go out to dinner.

continue to be held in June

BY JAMES ANDERSON ASSOCIATED PRESS

Colorado is moving up its 2020 presidential primaries from June to Super Tuesday in March, hoping to lure major party contenders to the purple state.

Gov. Jared Polis made the announcement on April 30, adding Colorado to at least 10 states conducting their presidential primaries on March 3.

Under voter initiatives approved in 2016, independent voters — Colorado’s largest voting bloc — can participate in one or the other of the major party primaries.

“I think we can really highlight Colorado as a key state because among the Super Tuesday states, Colorado is one of the only ones that is also a competitive state for November — a purple state,’’ Polis said.

Down-ballot races will continue to be held in June.

Critics of the previous system argued the presidential race was largely decided by the time Colorado held its June primaries.

The 2016 ballot measure created

SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE

winner-take-all Colorado presidential primaries in 2020, instead of nonbinding caucuses.

Proponents argued that change would inspire candidates to try to appeal to centrist voters in an increasingly polarized political climate.

The 2016 caucuses were messy: Democrats struggled to accommodate every voter, and Republicans didn’t choose presidential delegates because the national party insisted the vote be binding. Independent voters were left out in the cold.

Then-Gov. John Hickenlooper, now a presidential candidate, supported the changes, as did U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet, who also is expected to formally jump into the Democratic race.

Colorado held presidential primaries from 1992 to 2000 then dropped them to save money.

California and Texas headline the list of Super Tuesday states.

SRO FROM PAGE 1

private security guard, the team of DCSO law enforcement officials who were on scene within two minutes, and the heroic students and staff members at STEM for minimizing the number of fatalities and casualties.”

STEM partnered with the sheriff ’s office for a school resource officer from 2013 through early 2018. In the 201718 school year, STEM shared an SRO with another Highlands Ranch charter school, SkyView Academy, which is just less than 7 miles away. The officer split his time between the two schools. The sheriff ’s officer covered half of the cost.

The two charters split the other half.

At the end of the year, when the officer became ill and couldn’t fulfill his contract, STEM’s executive director, Penny Eucker, requested a credit for the months not served, according to emails released by the sheriff ’s office.

But according to a report from Lt. Lori Bronner, who oversees Douglas County School District’s resource officers, the sheriff ’s office continued to provide services to the school through its SRO and Youth Education and Safety in Schools (Y.E.S.S.) departments while the assigned SRO was on leave.

Eucker also expressed dissatisfaction with the SRO’s service, citing his disengagement with students and lack of presence at the school.

“We also request placement of a new SRO for the 2018-19 school year and participation in his or her selection process,” Eucker wrote in an email to the sheriff ’s office and Bronner on May 18, 2018.

Spurlock agreed to forgo billing STEM for the last four months of the contract but elected not to renew the

contract for the following school year.

STEM didn’t provide an office space for the SRO — a stipulation of the contract — and mainly used the SRO to mitigate traffic, according to a letter from Spurlock to Eucker on June 20, 2018.

“I am sorry that STEM School is dissatisfied with the services we have provided,” Spurlock says in the letter.

“It appears we do not share a common understanding of the role our school resource officers play in educating our community’s youth and protecting our schools.”

STEM paid $26,925 for an SRO for the 2017-18 school year, the same amount as SkyView Academy, according to a copy of the contract. The sheriff ’s office covered the remaining $53,850. Spurlock agreed to refund STEM $6,731.50 for the four months the assigned SRO was absent.

After several meetings between officials from STEM and the sheriff ’s office, Eucker opted to contract with a private security company for the 201819 school year and requested a deputy from the sheriff ’s office for up to three hours a day to assist with traffic.

HOW TO TALK TO YOUR CHILDREN The National Association of School Psychologists has advice for parents wanting information on how to talk to their children in the aftermath of tragedies like the one at STEM School Highlands Ranch on May 7.

“High-profile acts of violence, particularly in schools, can confuse and frighten children who may feel in danger or worry that their friends or loved-ones are at risk,” the organization says on its website. “They will look to adults for information and guidance on how to react. Parents and school personnel can help children feel safe by establishing a sense of normalcy and security and talking with them about their fears.”

The following is a brief summary of some of the organization’s tips for parents. More can be found at https://bit.ly/2vLD3XG • Reassure children that they are safe.

• Make time to talk.

• Keep your explanations developmentally appropriate.

• Review safety procedures.

• Observe children’s emotional state.

• Limit television viewing of the traumatic events.

• Maintain a normal routine.

VOICES For a life well done, have friends who are rare

A

good friend was once defined as someone you could call at 2 a. m. and tell, “Bring a shovel, and don’t ask questions.” QUIET Plutarch said, “I DESPERATION don’t need a friend who changes when I change and nods when I nod; my shadow does that much better.”

There are books filled with quotes about friendship, and books filled with stories about friendCraig Marshall ship.

Smith Arnold H. Glasow (don’t know him) said, “A true friend never gets in your way unless you are going down.”

I think my requirements in a friendship have changed over time, and I have decided I need very few good friends.

A good friend and a friend can be

distinguished by a shovel.

I have plenty of good friends. I have four. However, two of them are out of state, and one of them doesn’t know what a shovel is.

Harry doesn’t know what a shovel is, true, but he also doesn’t know who the 45th president of the United States is, and that is a plus sometimes.

Further, he knows nothing about crime, deceit, or cruelty.

He is simply a happy entity, and fully enjoys my company. The perfect antidote to the brutalities of existence.

I have friends I could call on, but probably won’t, in a time of lesser need than a nighttime mission, but whom I greatly appreciate.

Would this then mean I have tiers of friendship?

Maybe you do too.

Jennifer (one of the four, certainly) and I watched the ending, just the very ending, of “Thelma and Louise.” It’s a story about good friends who wind up in a wingless flight in a Thunderbird.

They were willing to die together after a crime spree that was initiated in a parking lot when Louise (Susan Sarandon) shoots and kills a man who assaulted Thelma (Geena Davis).

They amscray, thinking no one will believe them. The movie pivots on that point. The anticipated doubt of the instance of a sexual assault continues to be a reason given why all assaults and rapes are not reported, so it has legitimacy as a plot device.

It’s fulfilling as entertainment, and watching it is one thing. In a real-life instance, I would hope the women would address the situation, and not wind up where they did.

One of my good friends did what good friends do: He intervened. It’s a potent thing to do with anyone, especially with a curmudgeon.

Another stood beside me when others had doubts about my testimony.

Trust in a friendship is preeminent.

“Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.” (“Louis,” not “Louie,” is correct.)

That’s one of the most famous final lines in film history. Can you name the film?

Mark Twain said, “Good friends, good books, and a sleepy conscience: This is the ideal life.”

Can a good book be a friend? Yes. How about a good movie? Yes. I watch 10 minutes of an old friend before I fall asleep, just in case I die before I wake.

For one, “My Little Chickadee,” starring W. C. Fields and Mae West, who were not friends. Some of Fields’ self-written lines are brilliant.

He referred to West as “yon damsel with the hothouse cognomen.”

However, I never close the day with “Casablanca,” the final-line film. It’s a good one, but it manipulates my emotions. A good friend won’t do that.

Trust me.

Number two opponent of success: Lack of authenticity

L

ast week we identified the impact of complacency in our pursuit of success. Today we will visit the power of authenticity in our success journey.

And next week we will wrap it all up when we jump into the role of gratitude and appreciation as a major WINNING contributor to our WORDS success.

Are we authentic?

Maybe it has become kind of like, “We can be authentic with some of the people all the time. We can be authentic with all the people some of the time. But we can never be authentic Michael Norton with all the people all of the time.” Why is that?

In a group discussion about potential barriers to success, this topic of being genuine or authentic came up.

As the conversation continued, we debated the reasons why people are struggling with being genuine, several hypotheses were surfaced. One idea

A publication of

750 W. Hampden Ave., Suite 225 Englewood, CO 80110 Phone: 303-566-4100 Web: EnglewoodHerald.net To subscribe call 303-566-4100

that garnered a lot of discussion was around this statement, “Some people are convinced that in order to succeed, they feel like they have to manipulate the outcome of every call, meeting, or interaction. They are confusing success with manipulation.”

By manipulating others and being disingenuous we find ourselves trapped in a web of lies, fabrications, and an endless cycle of weak defenses and justifications. Some people have no issue with doing this and they repeat the behavior over and over again to create the best possible outcome for themselves, or to place themselves in the spotlight and as the center of attention. The problem is they actually believe they are fooling the rest of us, when in fact, most times we can see right through the disguise, pretense and manipulation.

Lack of authenticity is a successkiller for sure. It damages brands, it tarnishes reputations, and it damages relationships, sometimes beyond repair. The amount of work that has to be done in order to undo the hurts and collateral damage, and re-establish credibility, is so much harder and

takes so much more time than just simply being genuine and authentic right from the start. Being transparent and vulnerable takes courage, but as we become proficient at authenticity and transparency, our courage and confidence grow in parallel. And as this happens, we quickly recognize just how powerful these character traits are to the pursuit and achievement of our personal and professional success.

Integrity comes with authenticity.

And integrity can be defined as living in such a way that we never have to look over our shoulder. It can also be defined as doing the right thing when no one else is looking. Being genuine, living, loving, and working with character and integrity sets us up to pursue our success from a position of authenticity. With authenticity comes trust, with trust comes deeper relationships, and with deeper relationships comes success.

“You will make a horrible anyone else, but you will make the best you that ever lived.” Zig Ziglar If this is true, then why do we try and keep up with the Joneses? Why do we try and impersonate other people?

Why do we spin stories and manipulate situations that could hurt others?

It’s because we lack authenticity. Maybe we believe others won’t like who we really are. If that’s the case, maybe we have to find different friends, people who accept us for exactly who we are.

Or, if after a good hard look in the mirror, we can clearly see areas in our life that need to be changed. And then we take the time to become who it is we truly want to be. It is never too late to become authentic, genuine, transparent, and yes, even vulnerable.

These are not success-killers; these traits are the building blocks of success.

So how about you? Are you the real deal, the authentic and genuine article? Or is time to work on your own authenticity? I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com and when we can be the best “us” that ever lived, it really will be a better than good week.

Capitol report: Recapping major bills in 2019 Sex ed, affordable housing, family leave saw developments

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With power in both houses of the Legislature and the governor’s office, Democrats this year led lawmakers into some sweeping changes, as well as hard-fought battles that left the party short of some goals.

A major overhaul of Colorado’s oil and gas rules turned the state’s focus away from encouraging production and made public safety and the environment a top priority, handing local governments new authority to regulate drilling.

And the much-mentioned “red flag” bill — which allows firearms to be temporarily taken away from people deemed a significant threat to them-selves or others — passed after an even more partisan debate than last year’s version faced. And it still faces a conservative-backed court challenge.

A laundry list of other notable bills came up during the 2019 legislative session, the four-month part of the year when state lawmakers pass bills.

It ended May 3.

Sex ed curriculum updated After much public opposition, Democrats’ effort to strengthen sex education requirements succeeded.

The law does not require schools to teach sex education, but if they do, schools must address topics including birth control and pregnancy, sexually transmitted disease prevention, consent, and abstinence, according to state House Speaker KC Becker, D-Boulder.

Already-existing law had outlined “comprehensive” sex education standards, but the new law makes some updates on consent and healthy relationships, House Democrats have said.

The 2019 proposal, House Bill 191032, spurred panic about teaching rof the sex acts or practices of LGBT individuals, but the law’s text does not require that.

It does mandate that sex ed include information that is “meaningful to the experiences and needs” of LGBT or intersex people, and it adds that sex ed cannot exclude “the health needs” of those groups. For the most part, that’s not new, aside from adding those who are intersex. The law also bars shamebased language or gender stereotypes.

In 2013, the Legislature passed the “comprehensive” standards in connection with a grant program to support teaching sex education, but it didn’t fund the grant. The new law gives at least $1 million annually to the program, and rural schools and public schools that currently don’t offer comprehensive sex education would be prioritized for the funding.

Late in the session, lawmakers amended the bill to maintain eligibility for charter schools for waivers that can exempt them from the comprehen-

sive standards.

State Senate Minority Leader Chris Holbert, R-Parker, said changes to the bill amounted to “a step in the right direction.”

“We heard from thousands of Coloradans that were concerned about this piece of legislation,” Holbert said in a news release. “The majority of Republican senators remain opposed to the bill and stand with a parent’s right to teach and raise their children as they see fit.”

Parents can still opt their kids out of sex ed classes.

Vaccine bill falls Colorado lawmakers abandoned legislation that would have made it harder to opt children out of vaccinations as time was running out in the legislative session with one day to go.

Colorado allows parents to opt children out of vaccinations for medical reasons with a doctor’s note. Those who object for religious or personal reasons can also submit a statement to be exempted.

House Bill 19-1312 would have limited the allowed reasons for a medical exemption. It would have also required those seeking religious or personal exemptions to initially apply in person at a local health department or the state health department.

“Republicans were not willing to let the vaccine bill come to a vote without hours and hours of debate, which would have prevented us from delivering on priority bills,” including health care and education, said state Senate Majority Leader Stephen Fenberg, D-Boulder, according to the Associated Press.

Drivers’ cellphone use slips by Senate Bill 19-012 would have made use of cellphones while driving — except with a hands-free device — illegal for everyone. Currently, state law bars anyone under 18 from using cellphones while driving.

It passed the Senate but didn’t make it to a full vote in the House, instead postponed indefinitely in the House Judiciary Committee.

Family leave yet to arrive The Democrats’ push to allow workers up to 12 weeks of paid family leave — to care for a sick family member, tend to a personal medical issue or take care of a new child — eventually lost steam, with lawmakers passing a study on the program instead.

The program would have required the state to collect a premium on each person’s paycheck, with employees and employers sharing the cost.

Someone earning between $12,001 and $20,000 a year would pay from $38 to $64 a year into the fund, and employees earning $60,001 to $80,000 would pay from $192 to $256, the Associated Press reported. Many in the business community opposed the program.

In its final form, Senate Bill 19-188 created a plan that will result in an independent analysis to be completed by December that will ensure a potential program would be “efficient” and “fiscally responsible” if passed, a news

release by House Democrats said.

Death penalty survives Democrats also fell short in a bid to end the death penalty, a debate that was personal for state Sen. Rhonda Fields, an Aurora Democrat whose son was murdered in 2005. Robert Ray and Sir Mario Owens were sentenced to die for the killings.

Lawmakers have tried before to repeal Colorado’s death penalty, which has been applied just one time in the past 51 years. Senate Bill 19-182 would have taken effect for offenses charged on or after July 1, 2019.

Democrats have a 19-16 majority in the Senate, but at least one, Fields, opposed the bill. At least four other party members hadn’t publicly committed to the repeal.

Putting money down Affordable housing gets a boost with

the passage of two bills to increase the amount of money the state spends to drive the construction of less expensive dwellings.

House Bill 19-1228 passed in the state Senate to increase the annual amount the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority can spend on tax credits each year, according to a news release by Senate Democrats. The amount, currently up to $5 million per year, will increase to up to $10 million from 2020 to 2024, giving incentive to developers to build more affordable housing in the state, the release said.

House Bill 19-1322 will transfer up to $30 million over the next three years from the state’s Unclaimed Property Trust Fund to the Housing Development Grant Fund, another news release said, to improve funding for affordable housing options in Colorado.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

rocks

Indoor gyms make the sport more accessible to all

WHERE TO BEGIN BOULDERING Earth Treks Earth Treks climbing gyms are a great place to get started climbing. It offers beginner classes and rental gear. More info at www. earthtreksclimbing.com/

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

B

eing a climber for more than half his life, Kegan Minock has never heard an excuse that he thinks should deter someone from trying bouldering.

It doesn’t matter your age or weight, he said, or even if you have a fear of heights.

“Often, when people think of rock climbing, they think of going really high,” Minock said. “With bouldering, you’re not super high off the ground.

But it’s just as challenging.”

Minock, 27, general manager of ROCK’n & JAM’n gym in Centennial — ROCK’n & JAM’n also has a location in Thornton — has been climbing for 16 years and started focusing on bouldering about a decade ago.

“To me, it’s more fun,” Minock said, adding he enjoys the gymnastics skills required and the problem-solving aspect of it. “It’s physical, but also mentally challenging.”

In his blog written to serve as a beginner’s guide to bouldering, Willis Kuelthau, editor and climbing gear tester for 99Boulders.com, defines bouldering as “climbs that are protected by (landing/crash) pads rather than ropes.” He adds that bouldering is the physical act of completing “relatively short sequences that prioritize power and technique over long-term endurance.”

A “boulder problem” is the common term for the climbing challenge, or route. It is “the sequence of holds (which have) a start point and end point,” Kuelthau wrote. Boulder problems have “various levels of difficulty.”

Scott Rennack, marketing manager for The Spot Bouldering Gym, believes the term is coined boulder problems because of the problem-solving skills required to complete them.

“You have to figure them out,” he

Outdoors According to Nomad Colorado, an online travel and outdoor guide specific to Colorado, two popular spots for beginner outdoor bouldering — just outside of the Denver area — are Castlewood Canyon State Park in Castle Rock and Morrison Bouldering in Morrison.

For an outdoor inner-city experience, but still outdoors, Nomad Colorado suggests the man-made boulders/walls at Westlands Park in Greenwood Village and Central Park in Stapleton, Denver.

Scott Rennack, marketing manager for The Spot Bouldering Gym who has been climbing for about 25 years, sets a route when the gym’s Boulder location opened in 2002. The Spot Denver opened on April 18.

COURTESY PHOTO said. “You can try a move 20 or 30 times before you figure it out. Even a hundred times isn’t that uncommon.”

Rennack, 42, was introduced to climbing as a youth in the Boy Scouts, and “after 25 years, I’ve tried just about everything,” he said.

Rennack was involved with starting the American Bouldering Series in 1998 — a competition that has since merged with USA Climbing and is now known as USA Climbing’s Boul-

Yo u ’l l M o v e

dering Open National Championships. It took place this year on Feb. 1 and 2 in Redmond, Oregon. National championship titles went to Ashima Shiraishi for women and Sean Bailey for men.

“Colorado has kind of always been in the center of the bouldering world,” Rennack said. And The Spot can also claim it contributed to the history, he added.

The Spot’s Boulder location, which

M o u n ta i n s !

opened in 2002, was the first bouldering-only gym to open in Colorado. It “missed the title for all of the U.S. by about two months,” Rennack said. “A place in Salt Lake City opened just before (The Spot) did.”

Just south of downtown, The Spot Denver opened on April 18.

Though English mountaineer Oscar Eckenstein, circa 1880s, and French alpinist Pierre Allain, in the 1930s and 1940s, preceded him, many climbers point to John Gill as the father of modern bouldering.

According to Gill’s website, www. johngill.net, he “initiated a gymnastic approach to short rock climbs, specifically bouldering, in America in the 1950s.” Gill’s article “The Art of Bouldering,” published in the American Alpine Club Journal in 1969, “encouraged the recognition of bouldering as an authentic form of climbing,” states Gill’s website.

How can you make a difference in the world?

Colorado Community Media asked that question of soon-to-be graduates from across the south metro area. Here’s what some of them had to say: The arts are one of the areas that can have the most impact on people.

The opportunity to tell someone else’s stories or share different viewpoints about things — creatively — can impact the way people see things.

— Bri Angle, Lutheran

I hope to pursue my passion of becoming a physician in the future.

Becoming a doctor would allow me to change patients’ lives for the better and make a personal, but meaningful, impact on those around me through healing.

— Meghna Bagchi, Rock Canyon

I make a difference in the world every day. I never really know what impact my actions will have on other people nor to what degree, but I do my best to live a life where I help other people, even if that just means a smile in the hallway or holding open a door.

— Sarah Gates, Ponderosa

I am hoping to make a difference in the world by being someone who listens. I am planning to major in human biology to become a pediatrician.

One thing I’ve learned over the years is that taking the time to listen to others, especially children who can’t always voice their opinions or feelings, could impact one for a lifetime. I hope to use my platform to first listen to kids, then also to motivate and inspire them to be the very best they can be and not be afraid to pursue their God-given gifts and talents.

— Francesca Belibi, Regis Jesuit

I think the biggest way someone can make a difference in the world is simply by being the best person they can be. With this comes kindness, selflessness and a mind geared toward helping every person to be the best person they can be. If we always live with kindness in our heart, I think that is the way that we can help change the world every day. If we put ourselves aside and look to the world, we can truly make a difference.

— Emmy Hawkins, Arapahoe

I believe I can make a difference because of how strongly I support community service. I would like to encourage more people to get involved and giving back to their community. It may be required in high school, in order to graduate, but after that, it is a choice. I hope that more people will decide to help and give back, because it is so vital to create a stronger community.

— Taylor Littlefield, Douglas County I can make a difference in the world by speaking out for change. I am eager to learn various perspectives and give a voice to those who are often overlooked.

Through this, I hope to connect people, creating a better understanding among one another and a more united front for change.

— Emma Slenkovich, Littleton

It’s a hard question to answer how I can change the world since I’m still so young, but my motto is just to leave everything better than I found it.

— Marcus Miller, Cherry Creek

The little things. You don’t have to save the entire world to make a difference.

If you can show even one person the love in the world that there is to offer, you have still made a difference.

— Jaden Tactaquin, Castle View

I think I’ll be able to change the world through my willingness to work with people and forge relationships. I don’t think I’m even close to the smartest person in the world, and I think that mindset isn’t conducive to growth, so I always give everybody 100% and try to make connections with as many people I can. With these connections and my skills as a speaker, I believe I will be able to bring people together to make a difference.

— Abhi Bhandari, Mountain Vista

The way I can make a difference in the world is by being a firstrate me and not a second-rate someone else.

Like God makes each snowflake uniquely different and each fall’s leaves, he has made me unique in my own special way to help and care for others in my own way by treating each person with respect and love.

— Raymond Jackson Jr., Grandview

I can make a difference by using my skills and personality traits to advocate for causes I’m passionate about, such as continuing my fundraising efforts for clean water.

— Brock Mullen, Chaparral

Something that I learned at Smoky that can apply to how I can make a difference in the world is just how far kindness can go.

Simply being a positive and kind person can go a long way and brighten a person’s day.

— Cameron Kennedy, Smoky Hill

The most powerful change that anyone can make is in the lives of others. I can make a difference by empowering those around me and helping others maximize their potential.

— Chuba Ozor, Eaglecrest

The way that I am going to make a difference in the world is by showing young people that it is possible to achieve your dreams. Everyone has a dream but it depends on if that person is going to catch it or not.

— Sareina Thomas, Colorado’s Finest High School of Choice

I want to make a difference in the world using my education. I want to better my family and be a role model for my younger sister and cousins. I want them to know that anyone can go to college and pursue any career they choose. Since I’m the first one in my family to attend college I believe I have what it takes to change the world through them.

— Triston Hercules Flamenco, Englewood Start small, to make a difference in the world you need to take it step by step. Spread your words of change, be someone people look up to and want to be like you. Make them realize they can do big things too; they just need to take those steps to start their journey.

— Brandon Knight, Options

It’s important to use my own actions as a demonstration of how others can create change rather than complaining about the world’s problems. I strive to set myself apart from the rest of the world by getting involved and ultimately, connecting with people. Whether it be within my school, job, or on a larger scale, I can influence others by believing in something greater than myself. I owe all that I accomplish to God and it is my biggest desire to serve Him. — Addison Scherler, Valor Christian

I hope to one day make a difference with adoptable dogs and cats.

Animals are a huge passion of mine that I would like to bring more attention to and change the ways of adopting pets.

— Emily Vital, Heritage

I believe there are many ways.

As big as having professional skills to improve the technology in major areas, to as small as smiling to all the people I met in daily life, offering help when they need it, bring positive influence to the community, and picking up all the trash in sight.

— Yibo Yang, Legend

A purrfect arrangement Catios allow cats to spend time outside in enclosed spaces

BY KAILYN LAMB KLAMB@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Lance Harding is allergic to cats.

But that hasn’t stopped the 25-year-old Washington Park entrepreneur from creating an enclosed outdoor cat patio that lets felines safely enjoy fresh air and get some exercise.

Called catios, the enclosures connect to an opening of the house, usually a window, so that the cat can get in and out. The catios can be as small or large as customers would like, and can have features such as ramps and scratch pads.

“They’re a catio, but they’re also a home addition,” Harding said. “People want to feel a part of it, too.”

Harding created Cat Topia with business partner, Sky Davis, in December. Harding got the idea for the business from a family friend who built a catio.

So far, Harding has built 10 catios in the metro area, with more projects scheduled. The largest was about 400 square feet, he said.

An architect helps design the enclosures, Harding said. Although Harding said they hire carpenters to build

A cat inside its catio space. The catios connect to the house, usually through a window as shown in this photo. The cats can then go in and out of the enclosure. COURTESY OF CAT TOPIA the catios, both he and Davis help in all phases of the projects: prefabrication, desing and building. Depending on the size, construction usually takes about two days. And they can be removed if a family moves. Price varies, but on average, Harding said catios cost about $2,500.

He plans to donate a portion of Cat Topia’s revenue to the Denver Dumb Friends League, a nonprofit animal shelter.

“I wanted to give back to a community,” Harding said. “We just paired up really well with our missions.”

Maia Brusseau, the Dumb Friends League public relations manager, said the organization is always looking for local businesses to partner with for fundraising and to participate in events. Cat Topia is part of two upcoming annual events, the Furry Scurry at Washington Park this month and the Catwalk event in July.

Having local businesses at events is a “win-win” for everyone, Brusseau said. The businesses get exposure to potential buyers and eventgoers can learn about products for their pets.

When people adopt cats from the

Denver Dumb Friends League, the organization recommends that people keep their pets inside. Having a catio is a way to provide cats with exercise while still keeping them in an enclosed space, Brusseau said. The way catios are built can also give those cats the feeling of being outdoors in a safe way.

“They can not only get some exercise, but some mental stimulation,” Brusseau said. “Some cats really crave to be outside.”

Harding grew up in Washington Park and attended Most Precious Blood Catholic School. After spending some time taking classes at the Art Institute, Harding decided to launch his first company, The Good Couch, which collects and sells used couches. The company shows them in two Denver warehouse locations.

Both The Good Couch and Cat Topia were ways to let Harding have the freedom to travel as a photographer.

Before he came back to Denver and started Cat Topia, Harding spent the summer traveling the world and taking pictures.

He still works with The Good Couch, although his business partner Nick Reichert runs most of the company.

The Good Couch has now expanded to Tennessee and Georgia.

He believes catios will catch on, too.

“I saw a need, that cats needed this,” Harding said, “and that was more important to me” than any allergy.

Jeffco’s young readers, writers honored at annual ceremony More than 1,600 students participated in this year’s contests

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Todd Fahnestock writes because it makes magic.

“And because it makes lives and because it saves lives,” he said. “Writers … created heroes to look up to when my real-life heroes had failed me.”

Fahnestock of Englewood is the author of “The Wishing World” and other fantasy series of fantasy novels.

He was the guest speaker for the Education Nonprofit Corporation’s (ENC) awards ceremony for the sixth annual Jeffco Writing Challenge and third annual I Love to Read Contest on May 3.

This year, kindergarten through eighth graders wrote about their ideas for inventions, combining STEM and literary skills; and high schoolers wrote about the concept of crossing borders — social, economic, political, geographical, philosophical or metaphysical.

More than 1,600 students participated this year and nearly 100 of them earned an award for their efforts — $100 for first place, and Tattered Cover gift cards for second and third place winners and honorable mentions. En-

Sophie Anderson, an eighth grader at Bell Middle School in Golden who won a first-place award in the Jeffco Writing Challenge, gets her book signed by the fantasy author Todd Fahnestock on May 3 following the award ceremony.

tries are judged by a panel of elementary to post-secondary educators.

Jocelyn DesLauriers, a ninth grader at Dakota Ridge High School in south Jefferson County who won an honorable mention in the writing challenge, enjoys writing because enjoys creating characters, the world they live in and the happenings in their lives.

“It’s fun to escape the real world,” she said, “and go to a fantasy world of your choice.”

Schools also get recognition for its students participating in the contests, judged by highest percentage

Megan Klane, a senior at Golden High School, holds her award for third place in the Education Nonprofit Corporation’s (ENC) Jeffco Writing Challenge on the stage at the American Mountaineering Center during the awards ceremony on May 3. of participation based on enrollment.

For the writing challenge, Oberon Middle School in Arvada had the most entries, followed by Red Rocks Elementary School in Morrison then Bell Middle School in Golden. Woodrow Wilson Academy in Westminster earned an honorable mention. For the reading contest, Green Gables Elementary School in Lakewood came in first; Kyffin Elementary School, second; Woodrow Wilson Academy got third place; and Dunstan Middle School in Lakewood received an hon-

orable mention.

ENC, which is a Golden-based nonprofit dedicated to the advancement of education. The organization was founded in 2008 and has donated over $247,000 to local schools since 2009.

After relating his struggles to overcome his parents’ divorce as a child, and his decision to become a writer at age 14, Fahnestock told the awards ceremony attendees on May 3 to “keep writing.”

“I fell into those stories,” he said.

“And it made me who I am today.”

The Bible Speaks – Israel

Last Tuesday, May 14, was the 71st anniversary of the founding of the modern state of Israel in 1948. Today’s Israel is the tangible proof of God’s promise that the nation of Israel will always exist (Jer 31:35-37). He has returned them to their ancient land, kept them through several wars & is now providing for their success politically, economically & culturally.

Many civilizations have tried to destroy the Jewish people over the centuries. Among them are the Assyrians, Babylonians, Romans, Crusaders, Nazis & the Soviet Union. None exist today yet Israel does. All have failed, as will the current attempts by Israel’s Arab neighbors.

In Isaiah 43:19 God says “See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?” Yes Lord we do, in Israel your people, your nation. hfsmail@basicisp.net

WHEREAS, the Deed of Trust was insured by the United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (the Secretary) pursuant to the National Housing Act for the purpose of providing single family housing; and

WHEREAS, the beneficial interest of the Deed of Trust is now owned by the Secretary, pursuant to an assignment recorded on March 23, 2015 at Reception Number D5027724 in the office of the Clerk and Recorder of the County of Arapahoe Colorado.

WHEREAS, a default has been made in the covenants and conditions of the Deed of Trust in that Paragraphs 9 (b) (i) have been violated; and WHEREAS, the entire amount delinquent is $299,009.17 as of April 1, 2019; and WHEREAS, by virtue of this default, the Secretary has declared the entire amount of the indebtedness secured by the Deed of Trust to be immediately due and payable;

NOW THEREFORE, pursuant to the powers vested in me by the Single Family Mortgage Foreclosure Act of 1994, 12 U.S.C. 3751 et seq., by 24 CFR part 27, subpart B, and by the Secretary’s designation of me as Foreclosure Commissioner, recorded on January 22, 2018 at Reception No. D8006757, notice is hereby given that on May 29, 2019 at 9:00 a.m. local time, all real and personal property at or used in connection with the following described premises (“Property”) will be sold at public auction to the highest bidder:

Misc. Private Legals

Commonly known as: 7969 S. Cedar Cr., Littleton, CO 80120.

The sale will be held at 7969 S. Cedar Cr., Littleton, CO 80120.

The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development will bid the lesser amount of the loan balance or the appraised value obtained by the Secretary prior to sale.

There will be no proration of taxes, rents or other income or liabilities, except that the purchaser will pay, at or before closing, his prorated share of any real estate taxes that have been paid by the Secretary to the date of the foreclosure sale.

When making their bids, all bidders except the Secretary must submit a deposit totaling 10% of the Secretary’s bid in the form of a certified check or cashier’s check made out to the Secretary of HUD. A deposit need not be accompany each oral bid. If the successful bid is oral, a deposit of 10% of the Secretary’s bid must be presented before the bidding is closed. The deposit is nonrefundable. The remainder of the purchase price must be delivered within 30 days of the sale or at such other time as the Secretary may determine for good cause shown, time being of the essence. This amount, like the bid deposits, must be delivered in the form of a certified or cashier’s check. If the Secretary is the highest bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in cash. The successful bidder will pay all conveying fees, all real estate and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery date of the remainder of the payment and all other costs associated with the transfer of title. At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them.

The Secretary may grant an extension of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment. All extension will be for 15-day increments for a fee of $500.00, paid in advance. The extension fee shall be in the form of certified or cashier’s check made payable to the Secretary of HUD. If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the amount due.

If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder may be required to forfeit the cash deposit, or at the election of the foreclosure commissioner after consultation with the HUD representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred as a result of such failure. The Commissioner may, at the direction of the HUD representative, offer the property to the second highest bidder for an amount equal to the highest price offered by that bidder.

There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the mortgagor or others subsequent to a foreclosure completed pursuant to the Act. Therefore, the Foreclosure Commissioner will issue a Deed to the purchaser(s) upon receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the terms of the sale as provided herein, HUD does not guarantee that the property will be vacant.

The scheduled foreclosure sale shall be cancelled or adjourned if it is established, by documented written application of the mortgagor to the Foreclosure Commissioner no less than three (3) days before the date of sale, or otherwise, that the default or defaults upon which the foreclosure is based did not exist at the time of service of this notice of default and foreclosure sale, or all amounts due under the mortgage agreement are tendered to the Foreclosure Commissioner, in the form of a certified cashier’s check payable to the Secretary of HUD, before the public auction of the property is completed.

The amount that must be paid if the mortgage is to be reinstated prior to the scheduled sale is $299,009.17 as of April 1, 2019, plus all other amounts that would be due under the mortgage agreement if payments under the deed of trust had not been accelerated, advertising costs and postage expenses incurred in giving notice, mileage by the most reasonable road distance for posting notices and for the Foreclosure Commissioner’s attendance at the sale, reasonable and customary costs incurred for title and lien record searches, the necessary out of pocket costs incurred by the Foreclosure Commissioner, and all other costs incurred in connection with the foreclosure prior to reinstatement.

Tender of payment by certified or cashier’s check or application for cancellation of the foreclosure sale shall be submitted to the address of the Foreclosure Commissioner provided below.

BOULDERING FROM PAGE 14

According to an article by Alex Beale, owner and editor of 99Boulders.com, John “Verm” Sherman created the V Scale — now the standard grading scale for the boulder problems in the U.S. — in the late 1980s while climbing in Hueco Tanks, Texas.

The International Federation of Sport Climbing’s (IFSC) website states that climbing competitions largely began in Europe in the 1980s.

The site states that “in 1991, the first World Championship was organized in Frankfurt, Germany,” and bouldering “was officially introduced as a new climbing discipline” in 1998.
