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

By any measure, a school shooting that leaves one child dead, one clinging to life and hundreds, if not thousands, with deep emotional scars is an unthinkable and heart-wrenching tragedy. As the gravity of the shooting at Arapahoe High School on Friday the 13th becomes more real, officials will take every angle to look at what went right and what went wrong.

As for the swarming emergency response to the Centennial school, there is a lot that went right. It became obvious in the days following the shooting that the perpetrator had plans for widespread death and destruction. It is believed that the immedi-

ate response by an armed school resource officer and his confrontation of the shooter, ended the rampage much sooner.

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

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

Coincidentally, one month before the shooting, Littleton Public Schools was ranked by Security Magazine as the seventh best school district in the nation for security, and among the top 500 institutions nationwide. The magazine cited ongoing training, security protocols and a close partnership with local law-enforcement agencies as reasons for the high ranking.

At least 10 agencies — even Colorado Parks and Wildlife — responded to the scene at Arapahoe High School.

Victim wasn’t ‘close friends’ with shooter, sheriff says No evidence that Claire Davis was Pierson’s target at Arapahoe

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com As support continues to pour in from around the world for 17-year-old Claire Davis, who was left in a coma after being shot point blank in the head at Arapahoe High School on Dec. 13, Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson says there is no evidence she was targeted.

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

As of Dec. 19, the Arapahoe High School senior remained in critical but stable condition at Littleton Adventist Hospital. There is a box in the hospital lobby for well-wishers to place cards and letters for Davis, who suffered major head trauma. Already about 200 notes have been dropped off from community members.

Her family has requested privacy, but according to Davis’ Facebook Page, she’s an equine enthusiast, a member of the Colorado Hunter Jumper Association.

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

Community rallies around school Tribute to shooting victim draws steady stream of visitors

By George Lurie

glurie@coloradocommunitymedia.com Nearly a week after the shooting that turned Arapahoe High School into a war zone, nerves remained raw and a sense of disbelief lingers.

While Claire Davis, the 18-year-old vic-

tim felled by a point-blank shotgun blast, remained in a coma, the community rallied around the high school’s students and staff on Dec. 19.

“I still don’t believe it happened,” said Arapahoe junior Tessa Serrano, who along with her twin sister Cheyenne and fellow Arapahoe High junior Caroline Powell, stopped by the growing makeshift memorial to Davis to read cards taped to the fence and reflect on what Powell called “the craziest day of my life.”

Warriors, fiercely kind, come together As Anna Sutterer crowded with 25 other students in the darkened corner of her AP Lit class, the words of the hymn she sings every Sunday at church — “Praise God from whom all blessings flow” — tumbled through her mind.

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

For strength in the moment.

For the shooter, knowing he was one of God’s children, but was lost.

For the aftermath, of peace in everyone’s hearts.

“I thought this couldn’t happen to any of our Warriors,” she said later. “I prayed we would end up being more powerful than the actual event.”

That’s exactly what’s happening.

But perhaps that’s not so surprising, considering every school day for four years students hear the same seven words at the end of morning announcements: “Warriors Always Take Care of Each Other.”

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

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

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

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

A chain of “fierce kindness,” as one observer described, started almost immedi-

ately.

The day after the violence, 200 students gathered at noon at a nearby youth center to share stories and pray.

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

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

That Saturday evening, Maggie Hurlbut, 17, the school newspaper editor who had crouched in the classroom with Anna, helped organize a candlelight vigil for Claire Davis, the senior who remains in critical condition from a shot to her head.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Connection is essential to surviving the bad times.

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

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

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

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

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

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

“There’s something about clinging to an identity that’s prescribed to you,” she said.

And this one “is fierce kindness … This is the outcome of what it looks like in a crisis. It’s a thing of beauty that these kids would be so present for each other.”

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

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

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

“There’s something about taking it back and redeeming that space,” Anna said.

“Even being in that place where those memories are going to be, the fact is we really banded together because of that place.”

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

Like true — fiercely kind — warriors.

efforts around the state to promote the “Fix the Debt” campaign — the main presentation kicked off with an update from Ken Lund, director of the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade.

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

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

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

Dr. Richard Wobbekind, a University of Colorado economist, delivered an encouraging forecast for 2014.

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

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

Wobbekind said that commodity prices

have benefitted the agricultural and energy sectors in particular and pointed out that foreclosure rates across the state “have really dropped and are now a non-issue.”

Dr. Martin Shields, an economics professor at Colorado State University, painted a picture that was not quite a rosy as the speakers who preceded him.

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

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

Despite steady job growth, unemployment across the state remains relatively high because of the influx of new residents, Shields said, adding that businesses that concentrate on administrative and support services — temporary staffing agencies — continue to be the leading growth sector.

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

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

“A lot of families are still struggling financially — and so are the businesses that rely on those families’ paychecks,” he said.

Adding that he did not see a lot of “upward pressure” on wages in the new year, Shields pointed out that real median household income in the U.S. is at its lowest level in 17 years. There is a “disconnect” between economic growth and individual prosperity, he added.

“Income is one of our measures of wellbeing,” Shields said. “And in the last 17 years, that income has been eroded.”

Shields predicted healthcare, manufacturing and retail will be the leading sectors in the state’s economy in 2014.

Most of the other speakers at the breakfast agreed, including Wells Fargo Securities economist Michael Wolf.

Lund, who worked as Gov. John Hickenlooper’s chief legal counsel before taking the helm at the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade, lauded Colorado as a place “where you can make your fortune and raise your family.”

He encouraged those in attendance to be “creative, innovative and collaborative.

We need to be busy inventing the future,” Lund said.

SHOOTING AT ARAPAHOE HIGH

Stories of heroism emerge Medics rush on to scene despite pending danger

By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com As Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson puts it, “there was a lot of heroism” that went into preventing further bloodshed at Arapahoe High School.

There is the custodian who sent out the first alert that an armed student was entering the building.

There is Tracy Murphy, the librarian and debate team coach who exited the school after finding out he was the target. And there is James Englert, the school resource officer who challenged the threat, possibly causing the shooter to turn the gun on himself instead of continuing to fire at others.

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

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

Without knowing where the shooter was or even how many shooters were present, Martin, Osman and Etheridge entered the building in search of a wounded female student.

The deputy, with his weapon drawn, provided initial cover for the unarmed medics as they scrambled to get to Claire Davis. The 17-yearold had been shot in the head from point-blank range, and it was obvious that she needed immediate medical attention.

Meanwhile, Meneses removed the stretcher and readied medical supplies in the ambulance. He estimates the crew was at Arapahoe High School for less than two min-

utes.

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

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

The firefighters and EMTs didn’t know the shooter was already dead when they entered. Their bravery, talent and readiness for the situation was “very apparent” at Arapahoe High School, said John Mullin, chief of Littleton Fire Rescue.

“They demonstrated sound decision-making and discipline under extreme stress,” Mullin said.

“I could not be more proud to be a member of this organization.”

Training played a large part in the success of the operation. Lit-

They hoped the moment would never come, that they would never have to put their knowledge to use

in a real-life situation. But when it did happen, in the face of grave danger, they were prepared.

“It was one of those above-andbeyond calls that happens once or twice in your career,” Meneses said.

“Everything went like we would have trained.”

Changes Continued from Page 1

Response changes have paid off

Pointed criticism of the handling of the Columbine High School massacre forced law enforcement officials to rethink every procedure they had in place. In the 14 years since, police and fire departments have completely overhauled communications systems and revised tactics.

The directive for first-responders to eliminate the threat right away, with or without back-up officers, came from lessons learned in previous shootings, especially Columbine. That tactical change has proven effective, and the swift end to the Arapahoe High School shooting is a perfect example, said Sgt. Andy Coleman, public information of-

ficer for the Parker Police Department.

Previous rules for dealing with an assailant are almost laughable, like the use of colored cards by teachers who were instructed to lock the door and slide the cards underneath to let police know the condition of those inside.

Green meant everything was OK, red meant help was needed, Coleman said.

Policies and procedures continue to be tweaked based on de-briefings that analyze the performance of officers in realistic training scenarios. The Parker Police Department, which sent three officers and a supervisor to Arapahoe High School the moment the call went out, participates in at least two activeshooter drills every year with neighboring agencies.

Interagency partnerships have become a crucial tool in making sure adjacent jurisdictions are on the same page in an emergency. Mutual aid protocol at a scene requires “fairly close

control,” with everyone checking into a command post, Robinson said.

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

“It would be crazy to say we could handle it by ourselves,” he said.

“There’s no way.”

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

“The communications system functioned exactly as we expected it to,” Robinson said. “We put a lot of time and resources to make sure we were inter-operable throughout the metro area. Our capability was tested and we passed with flying colors.”

Shooter inked messages on his body Karl Pierson may have left clues as to his intentions

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia. com “The Die Has Been Cast.”

That was Karl Pierson’s final message to the world, written in permanent marker on the inside of his forearm in Latin - “Alea Iacta Est.” According to Wikipedia, “The Die is Cast” is what Julius Caesar is reported to have said as he led his army across the River Rubicon in North-

ern Italy, beginning a long civil war.

The phrase is still used today in Italy to mean that events have passed a point of no return, that something inevitably will happen.

The coroner’s office also discovered that the Arapahoe High School shooter had written five separate numbers and letters on his arm that might correlate to classrooms in the building, according to Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson.

“The letters/numbers written on the shooter’s arm is an indicator to investigators of the shooter’s plan,” writes Robinson in a press release issued today.

His team will try to determine whether particular occupants of those rooms may have been targets.

Pierson, an 18-year-old AHS student, entered the building Dec. 13 with a machete, three Molotov cocktails and a .12-gauge, pump-action shotgun that he used to shoot innocent bystander Claire Davis, 17, point blank in the head before doing the same to himself. He died in a corner of the library about 80 seconds after entering the building, upon being confronted by Deputy James Englert.

Davis survived but is in a coma at Littleton Adventist Hospital.

“The robust and ongoing investigation into the Arapahoe High School shooting is being conducted in a deliberate and methodical manner,” reads the press release.

Both the Colorado Bureau of Investigation and the FBI are assisting.

SHOOTING AT ARAPAHOE HIGH

Links between schools go beyond geography Connections to Arapahoe High School prompt outpouring of compassion

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Arapahoe High School’s location across a county line and in another school district matters little to Douglas County School District staff and students.

In the wake of the Dec. 13 shooting that left one student dead and another critically injured, members of DCSD reached out to the AHS community through dozens of compassionate acts.

It started the Monday after the tragedy, when students throughout DCSD reported to school wearing AHS’ black-and-gold colors.

From there, students and staff launched a variety of projects.

At Mountain Vista High School, students are making and collecting homemade wind chimes to hang in the trees around AHS. A ThunderRidge High School teacher helped design a “Colorado Strong” T-shirt whose sales so far have generated more than $44,000 in donations. At Highlands Ranch and Rock Canyon high schools, teenagers signed student-made banners with messages of support. Acres Green Elementary held a pajamaday fundraiser. And dozens of DCSD schools started collections to help offset shooting vic-

AHS juniors and seniors were allowed back into the school for the first time Dec. 19.

Sophomores and freshman were scheduled to return for a few hours Dec. 20.

School district officials announced late this week that the school’s library will be remodeled before reopening next year. The library was damaged by a fire from a Molotov cocktail thrown by shooter Karl Pierson before he shot himself.

Classes at the high school are expected to resume early next year but district officials have yet to announce a specific date when students will return.

“There are no activities at Arapahoe this week,” said Diane Leiker, director of communications for Littleton Public Schools. “There are no classes or finals. Finals will not occur in any format until students return in January.”

Across University Boulevard from the high school, employees at the Burger King franchise were readying for an all-day fundraiser for Davis scheduled for Dec. 20. The fast-food restaurant planned to donate 100 percent of its sales on Dec. 20 to the Davis family.

“We wish we could do more,” said the restaurant’s manager.

Other businesses located near the high school were also quick to pitch in. Several were also planning to donate a portion of their

AHS, located mere minutes from many DCSD facilities, shares much more than a common boundary with the district.

Hundreds of DCSD students previously shared classes and friendships with the shooter, Karl Pierson, and his sister Kirsten, Highlands Ranch residents who attended both Acres Green Elementary and Cresthill Middle School before enrolling in Littleton Public Schools’ AHS. Students and staff at Acres Green Elementary know Karl’s mother Barbara from her 2008-2010 stint working there as an educa-

sales this week to the fund for Davis.

During the anxious hours after the shooting, the King Soopers in the Cherrywood Square Shopping Center served as a makeshift shelter for students and a command center for emergency responders.

Immediately south of the grocery store, the gym at Shepherd of the Hills Church was transformed into a gathering area for students who were led in groups out of the school and then interviewed by police investigators before being released to the custody of their parents.

Well into the evening, King Soopers employees continued to load up shopping carts full of water bottles, cookies and candy bars and pass them out to nervous parents waiting behind yellow police tape or in the long pickup line at Shepherd of the Hills.

With the high school closed this week, many of the smaller merchants in the shopping centers adjacent to Arapahoe said business had fallen off considerably.

Courtney Harriman and Tian Bank said they came to the memorial outside the school on Dec. 19 to “place flowers and pray for Claire.”

Both graduated from Heritage High School in 2013.

“Arapahoe is our sister school. We’ve got lots of friends who still go here,” said Harriman.

“I was home when it happened and felt so helpless watching on TV,” said Bank. “We needed to come here and bring flowers — and pay our respect. I wish we could do more.”

Open enrollment means teenagers cross county lines to attend high schools in both school districts. And teachers who live in the two counties also have taught in the neighboring schools, further intertwining the lives of AHS and Douglas County students, parents and teachers.

“This hit really close to home,” Highlands Ranch High School Principal Jerry Goings said. “I think everybody has been impacted by it one way or another — whether it’s a student that knew (Pierson) personally, or because it happened just down the road in our

neighborhood. Because of the nature of the incident and the fact it involved a teacher, it really hit our teachers coming in on Monday morning, too.”

Rock Canyon High School students and staff share similar connections.

“Our largest open enrollment group comes from Cresthill,” Principal Andy Abner said.

“My wife’s a teacher at Arapahoe. We have a teacher here whose son goes to school there, and kids who show horses with Claire. It doesn’t always seem like a small world when something like this happens.”

Focusing on finals helped, Goings said. So did finding ways to help.

“There’s been a lot of support for the school,” he said. “That’s the cool thing.”

There’s also been support from DCSD schools and staff. HRHS was among many local schools with mental health crisis teams available for students after the shooting.

“Lots of teachers asked, `Do we need to talk about this?’” student Taylor Garner said.

“Our orchestra teacher dedicated the entire class to talking about it.”

On Dec. 19, the day before some AHS students were allowed back to pick up belongings, HRHS student senate members delivered their banner to the school. Bold, black letters encircled with the signatures of Highlands Ranch students offered support: “Stay strong, Warriors, Falcons have you under our wing.”

“A lot of us have friends who go there,” HRHS student Emily Kohn said. “We just want to let them know we’re there for them.”

‘Warrior Strong’ shirts benefit Davis fund

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith @coloradocommunitymedia.com If Jeff Wasden had not opened PROformance Apparel eight years ago, he might well have been inside Arapahoe High School on Dec. 13 when shots rang out, critically wounding 17-year-old student Claire Davis.

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

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

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

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

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

The school is named for the Arapaho Native Americans, and the tribe maintains a close relationship with the school. Former Principal Ron Booth reached out to the Wind River Indian Reservation in Wyoming in 1993, in the midst of a slew of mascot controversies around the country. Tribal elders decided AHS was place deserving of their respect and endorsed the school’s “Arapahoe Warrior” mascot, which was designed by Arapaho artist Wilbur Antelope.

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

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

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

“They’re showing a great deal of love and

Jeff Wasden’s PROformance Apparel is selling these T-shirts and most of the money is going to the Claire Davis Fund. Photo by Chris Rotar support and care for each other,” he said.

They’re helping make the shirts, even going to his store in the middle of the night to help get orders out.

Wasden estimates more than 2,000 shirts have been purchased, which means about $24,000 for the Claire Davis fund. The Davis family has asked that donations in Claire’s honor go to TLC Meals on Wheels or the Littleton Hospital Foundation to support mental-health awareness and support programs.

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

“There’s no reason to worry about who we’re handing the world over to,” he said.

“They’re going to be in better shape than we are.”

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

SHOOTING AT ARAPAHOE HIGH

Tragedy stirs memories for police officer Sean Dugan responded to Columbine as a SWAT team member

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com When Littleton Police Department Cmdr. Sean Dugan heard there was an active shooter inside Arapahoe High School on Dec. 13, he was jolted back in time to another terrible day — April 20, 1999.

At the time, he was a corporal at LPD and a member of the SWAT team. He was also a single dad with a daughter at Columbine High School.

It started off as a normal day. He was off duty and running some errands, with no way of knowing his daughter, Mandy, was running for her life.

“There were shoes scattered everywhere,” recalls Dugan. “Kids ran out of their

“CHJA is staying in touch with the Davis family to assess how our organization can best be of assistance both to Claire and her family and other members of our CHJA community that have been affected,” reads a statement on the group’s website. “The Davis family has asked for privacy while Claire is fighting for her life.

shoes in fear, they were running so hard.

She didn’t lose her shoes, but she told me her legs were really sore.”

SWAT was on call 24/7, so the first inkling he had of trouble was when his pager went off, telling him to respond to the area but with no details. Protocol dictated that he respond to the station first, but he had to run home to get his gear.

Home — where just three doors away, the killers had left a bomb in a backpack. A street crew happened upon it and tossed it into a field. It exploded, setting a fence on fire. Dugan could see the smoke.

As he was heading toward the station, he got a call from his girlfriend Heather, now his wife, asking if he’d heard from Mandy.

Heather had to deliver the news that his daughter might be trapped in her school with the killers, at a crime scene he was about to respond to.

He started frantically paging Mandy — kids didn’t generally have cell phones back then — with the code “911,” which every-

one knew meant call immediately.

She didn’t.

He got to the station and was immediately rushed to the school.

“People were just abandoning their cars in the street and running toward the school, looking for their children,” he said. “As you’re getting closer and closer to the scene, you’re starting to realize that this really bad.

It was very chaotic.”

As worried as he was about his own child, he had a job to do — protecting the rest of the kids. He was assigned to cover the east side of the school, and took a sniper position under a white, lifted Ford pickup parked about 65 yards from the front door of the school. He could see the glass blasted out of the windows, shattered by gunfire.

“I was given directions that if the killers came out of the school, shoot them,” he said. “But they never did.”

And then his phone rang.

“She said, ‘Dad, you’re not going to

tinue to speak with the family about how best to help and will make every attempt to post updates on Claire, as well as CHJA’s plans, on both the website and Facebook page. Please keep Claire, her family and friends, and all the other members of our CHJA community in your thoughts and prayers.”

Other students have described Davis as friendly and happy. Some of her friends even launched a Twitter campaign to get boy-band One Direction, her favorite, to visit her in the hospital. It went viral and got the group’s attention, and the members

offered her a 13-second video greeting.

“We just wanted to show you some love.

What’s happened to you is actually terrible, something we can’t bear thinking about, so we just wanted to share some love with you,” says Liam Payne, then bandmate Louis Tomlinson blows her a kiss.

AHS senior Anna Sutterer, a former Colorado Community Media intern, will have to pass by the spot where Davis was shot every school day once students return. “(It’s) on my way to my locker, and when I have to go into that classroom where I huddled in the corner with my beloved AP

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS

Crucial to take time to heal after tragedy After the horror that hit Arapahoe High School on Dec. 13, it’s natural to look for answers.

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

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

They are healthy discussions to have, and eventually, solutions can evolve from them.

OUR VIEW For example, emergency response in an active-shooter situation is undoubtedly better now than it was pre-Columbine.

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

The Arapahoe/Douglas Mental Health Network has some tips for parents whose chil-

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

What is your new year’s resolution?

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

“Time management, work-life balance with kids.”

— Dawn Schilling, Highlands Ranch

“Find a home. (I’m condo shopping.)”

— Yvette Jackson, Greenwood Village

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

— Lindsey Lauer, Highlands Ranch

“I’m going to try to keep my grade point average at 4.0.”

— Morgan Moen, Parker

The middle of the week holiday It’s always a little awkward or confusing for some companies and for many people when Christmas and New Year’s fall in the middle of the week like they will this year.

For some of us we just assume that the whole week is a holiday and just can’t get our head around the work-related stuff.

And for others, we still try and squeeze in every last minute of work or shopping that we possibly can right up until Christmas Eve and even New Year’s Eve. People take personal time off of work; some companies plan for the slowdown or even shutdown, and in some cases productivity, both personally and professionally, takes a holiday too. And that is okay. For many, this is a time of year to recharge the personal batteries and get excited about the coming New Year.

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

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

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

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

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

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

dren have been in traumatic situations.

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

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

Taking care of yourself, the network says, includes limiting alcohol and caffeine; talking with other adults and seeking support; getting

enough rest; and holding off on making any major decisions.

When it comes time for parents to talk with their children, the network recommends: • Encouraging kids to talk about it.

• Being a good listener. In fact, listen twice as much as you talk.

• Providing information in a clear, but ageappropriate manner.

• Limiting media exposure.

• Maintaining the normal rules of the household, like chores and curfews.

Take care of yourself and your children.

Seabiscuit’s bad blue brother My painting of a dog doesn’t look very much like a dog, unless there is a new rectilinear breed. Even so, the collector wrote from northern California to tell me that his granddaughter pointed at it and said, “Poppy, I wish that was a real doggie that I could have.”

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

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

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

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

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

Maybe night mares look like this. A night mare is not the same thing as a nightmare.

A night mare would be a female horse who stayed out late.

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

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

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

Everyone doesn’t have a degree in art, but everyone has a degree in art criticism.

The horse has been embraced and the horse has been denounced. I think we are stuck with it, since the five-year probationary pe-

riod passed without an organized attempt to have it relocated.

For Denver’s Commission on Cultural Affairs to take action to remove it, a petitioner would have to demonstrate `extreme adverse public reaction’ over an extended period of time.

That didn’t happen by the time the horse’s window closed on Feb. 11, 2013.

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

If you plan to see an Edward Hopper at the Art Institute, you know exactly what to expect. But public art can sneak up on you, and it can feel like a prank.

Seabiscuit’s bad blue brother is neither very literal, nor very inventive. Be one or the other.

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

MacMillan and I didn’t always agree.

In a review (March 9, 2008) he wrote, “Jimenez’s depiction is highly realistic and anatomically correct, with the musculature and even some blood vessels clearly outlined on the horse’s body.”

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

State finances don’t inspire optimism

Economist addresses withcrowd at South : Metro Chamber twice

g any

By Jennifer Smith

age-jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com

The state of Colorado has taken a few f thesteps back from the edge of the financial cliff, but researchers say it’s not out of dann. ger of falling off.

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

The good news is that the center predicts a budget gap in 2024 of nearly half of what it expected in its 2011 study, which was about $3.5 billion. CFC said at the time that by then, there would only be enough in the state’s coffers to pay for Medicaid, K-12 ed-

ucation and corrections — just enough to “medicate, educate and incarcerate,” said Resnick.

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

“Revenues have come back kind of on steroids,” she said. “But I think this is artificially stimulated. I expect sales-tax revenue to continue to decline.”

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

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

Additionally, the recession and recordhigh youth unemployment rates kept a lot of young adults from moving out and starting their own families, so they don’t need houses and furniture and all the trappings of the American dream quite yet. They’re

also not having kids, which means lower spending on education in the coming years — good news for the state budget, bad news for the schools.

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

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

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

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

“The juxtaposition of cuts in generalfund programs, which could include cuts to schools, higher education and a variety

of other programs, at the same time the state is returning `surplus’ funds to taxpayers under TABOR, will be puzzling to many Colorado citizens,” writes CFC in its executive summary.

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

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

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

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

“He was a maverick,” Holland said — a Sunshine Boy, he voted against Walmart and the original plan for the Marathon property.

From 1998 to 2005, he served as a director in the Mulvey Littleton Housing Authority and continued his concern for seniors and others who needed assistance.

Broadcasting interests and commitment to open government led to successful efforts to include live television coverage of city council meetings on Channel 8. He dedicated many hours to his extensive e-mail list, keeping correspondents aware of city activities.

Mulvey was a native of Lincoln, Neb., served in the Navy, attended the University of Nebraska and moved to Denver in 1949 to begin a career in broadcasting and advertising. Mulvey was honored in 2009 when he was inducted into the Colorado Broadcasting Hall of Fame.

His parents had emigrated from Ire-

land and met in Lincoln, according to his daughter Diana Holland.

He and Betty Mulvey married in 1963, combining families, then adding two more children to their home on S. Gallup St. Diana Holland recalled his involvements with kids’ activities such as football and Indian Guides, car trips to Nebraska to visit family and to a favorite spot on Mt. Evans, where that would picnic and he would fish.

He shot a lot of home movies — at times too fast — she remembers with a chuckle.

There have been many family parties and events through the years. And he attended everyone’s graduation ceremo-

nies.

The couple celebrated a 50th wedding anniversary in February 2013 at their condo at Riverwalk. He is survived by Betty; sons Tommy Mulvey, Phil Holland and Patrick Mulvey; daughters Diana Holland, Kathie Holland Baratta, Suzy Mulvey Velez and Jenny Mulvey Garcia; 17 grandchildren; three great grandchildren; brother frank Mulvey and many nieces and nephews.

A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m. Dec. 27 at Str. James Presbyterian Church, 3601 W. Belleview Ave. (at Lowell) in Littleton. A reception will follow at the Riverwalk Clubhouse, 2751 W. Riverwalk Circle, Littleton.

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Tom Mulvey, longtime Littleton resident and former city councilmember, died at home on Dec. 13 after a long struggle with cancer. He was 87 and a veteran of more than 50 years in the advertising and broadcasting profession, as well as an involved family man and generous contributor to his community.

Proud to have been the oldest member to serve, he was a city councilmember for a total of 10 years, as District 3 representative and at-large.

During that time, he supported the renovation and expansion of the Bemis Library and Littleton Museum, a third omnibus for weekend service, restoration of the Arapahoe County Courthouse to serve as Littleton’s municipal court, open space acquisition, enhancements of Light Rail stations and construction of

believe what happened.’ I said, ‘I’ve got a pretty good idea.’”

She had been in the choir room. The teacher rushed some students to the theater, where they hid for a few minutes until the teacher felt it was safe to run. And run she did, up Pierce Street to an apartment building, where her mom picked up safe and sound.

“I was one of those lucky people,” he said. “From the perspective of a parent, a human being, and even as a police officer, it makes you realize how fragile life is, and how that can all change in an instant.”

He spent the next four hours or so under the truck, covering the kids as police rushed them out of the school, hands up — a scene re-created just miles away at Arapahoe last week.

Dugan has reviewed the dispatch tapes from Dec. 13, and said there was much to remind him of that day at Columbine — the fire alarms going off in the background, the initial confusion, the heartbreaking discoveries.

“The Arapahoe student resource officer sounded like he was in a dead run,” said Dugan. “It’s not an ideal situation, because he’s by himself. But he’s all he had, and when you’re charged with the safety and security of protecting children, then you’re going to go by yourself because that’s your job. And I think he did a great job.”

Later on that day in 1999, Dugan went

to Leawood Elementary, where many parents were still waiting on reunions that he already knew might not happen.

“It was horrible, because I knew that as thankful as I was that my daughter got out, I could only imagine how they felt,” he said.

“I’ll never forget their faces. They were distraught, anguished. They were just waiting for some hope, and we knew a lot of the news would not be good for some of those folks.”

But because of that day, some positive changes to security were made, he said.

Littleton now has paramedics specially trained to go on SWAT calls, communication among agencies has improved, and most kids now have cell phones.

But one change Dugan doesn’t recommend is arming teachers, even though he’s proudly pro-Second Amendment.

“I think their primary job is to protect the kids, and the lockdown protocol is good,” he said. “You don’t arm people who don’t have the skills. I’m a big supporter of SROs, and I wish we could afford more of them. And it’s not just that they’re armed, there’s a trust level there.”

LPD has assisted in many of the state’s notorious tragedies, and, like others Dugan wonders why the south-metro area seems to have more than its share.

“I think one is more than our fair share,” he said. “And I’m really saddened by that, because I think Colorado is a great place to live. It’s worrisome. I just think there’s evil in the world, and evil walked into Arapahoe High School and evil walked into Columbine High School. I think there always has been evil, and I think these things are going to continue to happen.”

A DREAM OF

Spring

Winter exhibits, classes at Denver Botanic Gardens

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Memories of visits to the Frick Conservatory in Pittsburgh and then to Boettcher Conservatory at the Denver Botanic Gardens over many years relate to a favorite winter ritual — one that helps make spring and new vegetation come into one’s consciousness sooner. The Boettcher visit can be enhanced this winter by visiting several art exhibits — and perhaps enrolling in a botanical illustration class. DBG is accredited as a museum as well as a garden.

Graduates from the School of Botanical Art and Illustration are displaying a selection of works from their portfolios through Feb. 9 in the El Pomar Room. The ongoing school offers nearly 200 courses and workshops through the year — in various mediums and at varying levels of difficulty; in traditional and newer techniques. Visit the DBG website to check on availability and

Also through Feb. 9 in the Gates Garden Court Gallery, there is a juried exhibition of national and international professional illustrators called “Plants, Birds and Pollinators: Art Serving Science.” It aims to bring attention to the importance of pollinators in our ecological cycles — everywhere in the world. We have seen a great deal of handwringing over the shortage of honeybees of late, but need to recognize that other pollinators: butterflies, birds, moths also need to be protected and respected.

Planting flowers such as the bright red ones in our illustration is a pleasant way to

support these lovely creatures and enjoy the color.

Until Jan. 12, “Catalyst,” a collection of sculptures by 12 Colorado artists, is placed throughout the gardens and they are a splendid reason to walk through the gardens on a sunny winter day. They will have a different look and reflect a different quality of light now even if one has visited the collection in spring or summer. A map is available on the website, or at the door.

Look forward to “Illusions in Glass: Magic Lantern Slides from the Helen Fowler Library Collection” from Feb. 19 to April 27 in the Gates Garden Court Gallery, to learn about a technique that dates back to the 1600s and predates our modern projectors and films.

One more exotic attraction: The “Orchid Showcase” in the Orangerie, west of the conservatory, through Feb. 24. DBG has a large collection of colorful orchids in many varieties, shapes and hues. Standing in the middle of a room filled with extraordinary specimens can carry one away to the tropics, if only for a few moments.

Deicy and I have decided that we will not continue our efforts in 2014. It’s with a heavy heart that we came to this difficult decision, but it’s one that is best for our family … Our goal from the start was to serve the most authentic Spanish tapas in Denver, and we believe that we always stayed true to this goal. But, due to the present circumstances, we can’t continue on.

The battle for first place honors was heated as Heritage won seven events and Mountain Vista entries took top honors in five events. But, Heritage piled up points with individuals or relay teams finishing in the top six to help their team win the meet, 223 to 143.

Seno sizes up opposing speedsters ThunderRidge senior named tops on defense

By Jim Benton

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

Seno, the middle linebacker for the ThunderRidge football team, was a good spy following fleet-footed opposing quarterbacks and running backs.

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

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

whom are also linebackers.

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

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

“Being around the ball is something the people I worked with all year stressed a lot,” said Seno.

“They said college recruiters love to see kids around the ball. ... Some of being around the ball a lot is natural instinct to get there quickly and make the play.

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

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

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

“I was definitely a lot better in taking on offensive linemen this year and got a lot faster. There were only a couple kids that could outrun me on the field and that was pretty rare.”

Seno learned in youth football that he was destined to play as a defender.

“I kind of got put on defense because I played right tackle for my Mustangs team on offense and I was way too small to play right tackle,” confessed Seno.

“I just said I might as well play defense because I never played anywhere else on offense. I’m glad I made that choice.”

close out the 2013 portion of the schedule on Dec. 21 at the Coaches Invitational Swimming and Diving Meet at the Veteran’s Memorial Aquatics Center in Thornton.

Both teams return to action in January.

Heritage is at home Jan. 9 for a meet against Arapahoe and Mountain Vista’s first competition of 2014 will be Jan. 9 at Littleton.

Both January meets begin at 4 p.m.

Before the Dec. 17 meet, Heritage Coach Tom Byorick said he has 55 athletes out for the team that is a good mix of returning letter winners and girls new to high school swimming competition.

“I think we are pretty strong in the freestyle events and the breaststroke but we’ll have to see how things work out,” the coach of 14 years said. “We also have solid relay teams. Everyone is looking pretty good.”

Byorick said the team is pretty good even this early. But he added that there are things Heritage has to do better as a team and things he has to do better as a coach.

“If we do what needs done, we should be a pretty salty team by the end of this season,” he said.

On the other side of the pool, first-year coach Tim Byers talked to the members of the Mountain Vista team.

“We are doing OK as I am still getting used to our swimmers and divers and they are still getting used to me,” Byers said be-

fore the meet. “We have 26 swimmers and nine divers. We have a solid group of talented athletes and everyone is willing to swim the events I ask them to swim.”

Byers was an assistant swimming coach at Columbine for six seasons before moving to the head coaching job at Mountain Vista.

“Our team will be very competitive and I expect us to do well,” he said. “Our relay teams are strong and we have individuals who are standouts in events, including the butterfly.”

Mountain Vista senior Gianna Salanitro helped her team with first-place finishes in the 100-meter butterfly and the 200-meter individual medley events.

Many events were won by tenths of a second. For example, Heritage won the 200-meter medley relay with a time of 1:55.42 and Mountain Vista was second with a time of 1:55.71.

A medley relay consists of swimmers competing in the backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly and freestyle. Each leg is 50-meters long. The 50-meter freestyle was the anchor leg of the 200-meter medley relay.

Heritage freshman Katherine Hartson and Mountain Vista senior Kara Stockton swam side-by-side for most of the two lengths of the pool. Hartson gained a slight lead in the final few yard and touched the wall first.

The two girls shook hands after the event was over.

Hartson added to her team’s point total later in the meet as she won the 50-meter freestyle event.

Heritage also scored team points when sophomore Kaela Shandle won the diving

Economic Forecast Breakfast Sees Light at the End of a Long Tunnel With 2013 coming to an end and 2014 on the horizon, the economy is steadily improving at a slow pace with the amount and pace of that improvement varying widely determined by where you live and how you make a living. This was one take-away listening to economic experts at last week’s 27th Annual Economic Forecast Breakfast held at the Hyatt Regency Denver Tech Center.

Over 750 South Metro Denver business leaders gathered to build on existing or create new business relationships, share their visions of the future and hear the latest on our local, regional, and national economy.

Presenters included Dr. Rich Wobbekind, Executive Director of the Business Research Division and Senior Associate Dean for Academic Programs at the University of Colorado - Boulder; Dr. Martin Shields, Professor of Economics and Director of the Regional Economics Institute at Colorado State University; and Michael Wolf, economist for Wells Fargo Securities.

Ken Lund, Executive Director for the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade was also on hand to report on the state’s efforts on growing the current economy. Lund highlighted Governor Hickenlooper’s Colorado Innovation Network (COIN) - the governor’s vision of branding Colorado for innovation and entrepreneurship. A video from the COIN Summit held last August included excerpts from presentations by Salman Khan, Founder of Khan Academy; Mary Grove, Director of Google Global Entrepreneurship Outreach; Hikmet Ersek, President and CEO of Western Union; and Mayor Michael Hancock on the importance of innovation and creativity in building an economy.

Colorado’s envious business climate and talent pool was also noted. Colorado was hailed as the 2nd best state to start a business by CNBC, 2nd best state for entrepreneurship and innovation by Ali Recek of Goodwill Industries, Melanie Worley Developmental Pathways and Jerry Healey of Inc. Magazine, and of Colorado Community Media connecting after the the 2nd best state presentations. for high tech business according to TechAmerica. Forbes named Colorado the best state for labor supply last year, has the 2nd highest population with bachelors degree or higher, and is 3rd in high-tech employment by TechAmerica.

This all boils down to Colorado being a great place to build a career, and the way that is done is through growing business according to Lund.

“We have 2.4 million employees in the state of Colorado. If we can get that grown by 10% - that’s 240,000 - it will blow Rich’s [Wobbekind] numbers out of the water for 2014. So let’s go get it done.”

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

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

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

Chamber Holiday Unplugged hosted by Brickyard BBQ & the Chamber

The Chamber Center, 2154 E. Commons Ave., Suite 342, Centennial Over 750 business leaders listened to the economic experts on what to expect in the coming year at the 27th Annual Economic Forecast Breakfast Shields went on to explain that the leading employment sectors along the front range include administration and support services and food and beverage workers which are on the low end of the wage scale.

Temporary employment agencies are at a high in placement as companies are still not ready to put full-time workers in place. He believes this disconnect between economic growth and individual prosperity is creating a negative effect which will continue to be a drag on the regional economy.

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

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

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

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

Director of the South Metro Denver Economic Development Group, Jeff Holwell saw optimism through the slow growth.

“We are enthusiastic about the year ahead. While we would love to see huge gains in job creation and growth, we will take slow and turn it to our advantage. We will work toward building our local and state economies through a conscious and deliberate effort which will keep us at Colorado State University economist Dr. the forefront of the counMartin Shields makes a point during his try’s continuing growth.” presentation at the Economic Forecast The event was sponBreakfast. sored by Wells Fargo and WhippleWood CPAs, both leaders in our community and representative of the exceptional businesses the South Metro Chamber is proud to call partners.

“I chose UCCS for the combination of academics and student life. The Engineering program is one the best in the country and you can’t beat the location with views of Pikes Peak from every building. The University reaches out to every student by holding fun events for all different interests, so it’s easy to make friends. As soon as I stepped onto campus I was completely immersed in the community and felt right at home.”
