‘How in the world could this happen?’

Under guard of law enforcement officers, students file out of STEM School Highlands Ranch on May 7, following the shooting that killed one and injured eight.

One killed, eight wounded in attack at STEM in Highlands Ranch; two suspects in custody

BY ALEX DEWIND, JESSICA GIBBS, DAVID GILBERT, ELLIS ARNOLD AND NICK PUCKETT STAFF WRITERS

Students held their arms up high before being allowed to lower them and hold hands for comfort amid the chaos after filing out of the school. A massive law enforcement presence stood watch, with snipers’ rifles trained on exits from STEM School Highlands Ranch, where nine students had been shot, one fatally, the afternoon of May 7.

Just before 2 p.m., Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office deputies responded to

the school at 8773 S. Ridgeline Blvd.

DCSO deputies were joined by law enforcement personnel from around the metro area as they looked for the shooters and helped evacuate students at the K-12 charter school with an enrollment of about 1,800.

Two suspects were arrested, one juvenile female and one man, following a shooting less than 10 miles away from Arapahoe and Columbine high schools, sites of fatal shootings in 1999 and 2013, respectively.

pen anywhere.”

A sheriff ’s office substation on Highlands Ranch Parkway sits less than a mile from the school, and deputies were on scene within two minutes of the call, Sheriff Tony Spurlock said.

“I have to believe that the quick response of our officers likely helped save lives,” Spurlock said.

There is no school resource officer assigned to STEM, but the school does employ a private security firm, Spurlock said.

Officials urge vaccinations as measles threat spreads Bill that would have modified state law on exemptions failed to pass state Legislature

‘EDUCATED DECISION-MAKING’ Several state and national organizations oppose stricter vaccination laws and promote informed consent and privacy rights. For example, Colorado Health Choice Alliance states that its mission is to inform consumers on the “safety, efficacy, history and ingredients of vaccines.” Similarly, the National Vaccine Information Center says it offers information on vaccinations and health to encourage “educated decisionmaking.”

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

From Jan. 1 to April 26, 704 measles cases were reported in the United States, the most in 25 years, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

A contentious bill that would have made it make it harder for parents to get vaccine exemptions for their children died with time running out in the final days of the legislative session, which closed May 3. But health experts say they will continue to stress the importance of vaccine requirements in Colorado, a state with historically low vaccination rates.

“Outbreaks happen in communities with low rates of vaccinations and spread really quickly,” said Jessica Cataldi, a pediatrician and specialist in infectious diseases at Children’s Hospital Colorado. “I think for Colorado, the best thing to do is to try to act now and act preventative before we are in the situation of an outbreak.”

Colorado’s vaccination rate in kindergarten-aged children is among the lowest in the country at roughly 89

SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE

percent, according to a recent CDC survey. To protect the population, health professionals say 95 percent of people should be vaccinated.

State Rep. Kyle Mullica, D-Thornton, one of three sponsors of House Bill 1312, called Colorado’s low vaccination rates a “public health crisis.” The state has had one confirmed case of measles in 2019.

“Waiting for a tragedy to happen is not an option,” Mullica, a trained trauma nurse, said in an April 27 news release. “This is about the safety of our students and experts have been consulted in crafting this important legislation.”

The bill was also sponsored by Sen. Kevin Priola, R-Aurora, and Sen. Julie Gonzales, D-Denver. In the measure’s final hearing on May 1, hundreds of families showed up at the Capitol in an effort to stop the bill, which received

pushback from Gov. Jared Polis.

The bill would have created a standardized exemption form and required that all exemptions be submitted to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment or the local public health agency. It would have also required initial non-medical exemptions be submitted in person to the state health department or local public health agency, a condition that Polis opposed.

Highly contagious Some of the largest school districts in the Denver metro area either meet or are on the cusp of the preferred vaccination rate. Jefferson County Public Schools has a 94.8 percent compliancy rate for all immunizations. Douglas County School District has a 94.6 percent compliancy rate for MMR, the measles vaccine.

On the higher end, Adams 12 Five Star Schools has a 98.7 percent compliancy rate.

Still, health professionals are concerned. Measles is one of, if not the most, contagious infections, officials say. Spread through the air, measles can lead to pneumonia or encephalitis.

The risks are significant if a community is exposed to the disease and less than 95 percent of the population is vaccinated, Cataldi said.

“Even thought it’s an old disease, it’s still the one that is most contagious,” Cataldi said. “Meaning if one person gets measles, they are likely to make between 12 and 18 other people sick.”

To protect against measles, the CDC recommend two doses of the MMR vaccine, starting with the first dose at 12 to 15 months of age, and the second dose at 4 to 6 years of age. Symptoms of measles include a fever, cough, red eyes and a red rash on the skin. The infection is most problematic in babies and pregnant women, according to health care professionals.

Two years ago, Allison Coppel’s family was exposed to a measles outbreak from a tutoring center in Highlands Ranch, she said. Her newborn baby wasn’t infected, but she described the experience as “harrowing.”

“Voluntarily putting families in this situation because you choose not to believe science isn’t acceptable to me,” Coppel, a Highlands Ranch resident, wrote on a Facebook inquiry on the topic.

‘Communal effort’ Public health officials, and many parents, agree that choosing to not vaccinate puts individuals with com-

Phil Silberman, president of the Colorado Health Choice Alliance Board of Directors, fully supports Colorado’s current law on vaccines, he said. He believes citizens should have the right to research and make an informed decision on vaccinations.

“It’s a parent’s right, a citizen’s right, to choose whether to inject products into our bodies,” Silberman said. “A vaccine can’t be undone. You can’t be unvaccinated.” promised immune systems who can’t vaccinate, or babies who are too young to vaccinate, at risk.

“It’s a tremendous threat when you have a lower vaccination rate,” said Margaret Huffman, community health services director at Jefferson County Public Health. “We are counting on people who can be immunized to be vaccinated.”

Krissy Mosbarger, whose son has autism, said she believes in vaccinating but on a different schedule than the state recommends. After receiving several vaccines at the same time, she noticed changes in her son’s behavior, she said.

“We worked with our pediatrician to stagger the vaccination so they weren’t getting so many at one time after that,” Mosbarger, of Highlands Ranch, said on Facebook.

Vaccines are a victim of their own success, said John Douglas, executive director of Tri-County Health Department, which covers Arapahoe, Adams and Douglas Counties. Like other health care professionals, his concern is that measles has the potential to explode, threatening the progress made in the past 25 years to eradicate the infection.

Douglas also recognizes that people approach science and public policy differently, he said, adding that there needs to be a middle ground.

“It’s a communal effort,” Douglas said. “Ideally, you want to have people approaching this from a communitarian prospective.”

In the wake of measles outbreaks across several states, including New York, Michigan and Washington, health experts agree that now is a good time for people to discuss vaccination schedules and concerns with their health care providers.

“We all want our children to grow up in a world that is free from preventable diseases,” Elsa Ramirez, an executive officer at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, wrote in a opinion piece emailed to the media.

“The single most important thing each of us can do to achieve that goal is to get fully vaccinated – for ourselves, our families, and our communities.”

Officials expect light rail to bring ‘immediate impact’ The Southeast Rail Extension will officially open May 17

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

To picture what the three new light rail stations might bring, Jeff Holwell, Lone Tree’s economic development director, said to just look north, at the development that surrounds Lincoln Station on Park Meadows Drive.

Holwell credits the booming development near the station to the station itself, which opened in 2006.

But the ownership surrounding it was sporadic and each developed their properties differently. The economic recession that soon followed the Lincoln Station opening two years later didn’t help.

With one master developer for RidgeGate, Holwell said, the stations part of the Southeast Rail Extension should have an even greater economic impact.

“The difference this time will be the land around it will be controlled by a master developer,” Holwell said.

The grand opening of the rail extension May 17 — with service to residents beginning on May 19 — will also mark another key milestone as the first rail project to be completed in Douglas County under the FasTracks program, a voter-approved, multi-billion dollar transit plan to build 122 miles of new commuter rail and light rail.

The project has been in the works since 2016, and has been part of the discussion of Lone Tree’s development as far back as the opening of Sky Ridge Medical Center in 2003. The project is set to become a reality, with the last station just 2.3 miles south of Lincoln Station.

When Keith Simon, executive vice president of Coventry Development, pitched Lone Tree as a potential location for a massive Charles Schwab campus, the rail extension was the crux of the conversation.

“The (rail extension) has been one of the most important pieces of this community that I have worked on in over 20 years of involvement on RidgeGate,” Simon said.

Lawsuit challenges red flag law Opponents say measure was passed unconstitutionally

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A leading pro-gun organization says Colorado’s red flag bill signed into law less than a month ago was not passed in accordance with rules laid out in the state Constitution — and they’re taking that argument to court with the hope a judge declares the law void altogether.

Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, along with House Minority Leader Patrick Neville, R-Castle Rock, and state Reps. Lori Saine, R- Firestone, and Dave Williams, R- Colorado Springs, are plaintiffs in a lawsuit Rocky Mountain Gun Owners filed in Denver District Court on May 2.

Gov. Jared Polis is listed as the sole defendant.

“Democrats used illegal and unconstitutional tactics and methods to push a bill that would remove due process rights of our citizens,” said Rocky Mountain Gun Owners Executive Director Dudley Brown. “If a judge agrees with us, the Constitution will throw this law out and effectively kill the red flag bill.”

Article V, Section 22 of the state

Dudley Brown, executive director of Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, announces the organization will file suit against Colorado’s red flag law.

JESSICA GIBBS Constitution governs the reading of bills, said the group’s attorney, Barry Arrington, adding that House rules require if there is not unanimous consent from legislators to waive the full reading of a bill, it must be read at length.

“If any of the 100 legislators stands up and says, ‘Read this bill at length,’ it is absolutely mandatory that the

bill be read at length. There is no wiggle room. There is no compromise,” Arrington said.

The group alleges that requests from Saine and Williams to read the full bill were not granted, violating their Constitutional rights and making the law invalid.

“I think what you’re seeing right now shouldn’t be a surprise. When

Democrats offered this bill, it was unconstitutional on its face,” Williams said. “It shouldn’t be a surprise that they tried to pass it in an unconstitutional way.”

Neville estimated reading the bill in its entirety could have taken two hours or longer, but Brown said the time to read it “doesn’t really matter” when the Constitution required that happen after Saine and Williams asked it be read.

Arrington refuted characterizing the lawsuit as being rooted in a “technicality,” saying the Constitution is not a technicality.

Reached from the House floor on May 2, one of the bill’s House sponsors, Rep. Tom Sullivan, D-Centennial, said he had not yet heard the details of the group’s lawsuit but that opponents have the right to challenge the law.

“I stand behind the bill,” he said.

“It’s constitutional. It’s been vetted.

The attorney general has looked it over. I’m confident with what we did.

This is America. They have their opportunity.”

The Senate sponsor, Brittany Pettersen, D-Lakewood, called the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners one of the most radical gun groups in the state, saying they’re out of touch with Colorado residents.

Use a Reverse Mortgage to Fund Retirement SPONSORED ORED CONTENT - KATHY MUNI

A

ccording to author Wade Pfau, Ph.D., CFA in an article in Retirement Researcher, financial planning research has shown that coordinated use of a reverse mortgage starting earlier in retirement outperforms waiting to open a reverse mortgage as a last resort option once all else has failed.

Reverse mortgages have transitioned from a last resort to a retirement income Kathy Muni tool that can be incorporated as part of an overall efficient retirement income plan. Two benefits give opening a reverse mortgage earlier in retirement the potential to improve retirement outcomes, even after accounting for loan costs.

First, coordinating retirement spending from a reverse mortgage reduces strain on the investment portfolio, which helps manage the risk of having to sell assets at a loss after market downturns. Reverse mortgages

can help sidestep this risk by providing an alternative source of retirement spending after market declines, creating more opportunity for the portfolio to recover.

The second potential benefit of opening the reverse mortgage early— especially when interest rates are low—is that the principal limit (the overall eligible amount consisting of any loan balance and remaining line of credit) that you can borrow from will continue to grow throughout retirement. You are the only one who owns your home with its equity, the

bank or lender does not. The reverse mortgage is not repaid until the last borrower leaves the home.

To qualify for a government insured reverse mortgage, at least one homeowner must be 62. The home must be your primary residence and you should have between 40 – 60 % equity.

Yours may be a single-family home, an FHA approved condo, a townhome, manufactured home, modular home, or a hobby farm up to 25-acres.

It is a non-recourse loan, so you will never owe more than the home is

worth, and no debt is passed on to your heirs or estate.

Silver Leaf Mortgage also offers proprietary reverse mortgages for eligible condominiums that are not FHA approved, and for homeowners who are 60 years old. Additionally, you may use a reverse mortgage to purchase a property and will have no mortgage payment. Of course, you will pay property taxes and insurance. Give me a call for a no pressure, no obligation conversation to see if a reverse mortgage may be a good option for you. The goal is to give you the information you need to make an informed decision.

“Our attorney general will be prepared for that (lawsuit),” she said. “I think it’s interesting they’re trying to go after a process question here when their argument was that it was unconstitutional.”

House Majority Leader Alec Garnett, D-Denver, released a statement following the announcement of the lawsuit.

“This is not about what happened during the debate — this is about the gun lobby trying to unwind a popular measure to help save and protect lives in Colorado,” he said.

“Throughout the entire debate, no one approached me about the issue they are raising in their lawsuit. We have been extremely respectful of the rights of the minority party and this bill was respectfully debated in the House.”

Both Pettersen and Garnett pointed to the recent closure of schools across the metro area when 18-yearold Sol Pais traveled from Florida to Colorado, spurring a massive manhunt. Authorities believed she was infatuated with Columbine and discovered she procurred a weapon immediately after arriving in the Denver metro area. The incident is a prime example of why the Extreme Risk Protection Order is needed, Petterson and Garnett believe.

While the challenging group believes the bill was passed improperly,

they also maintain the law itself violated due process and the Constitution.

Brown promised more lawsuits could come and that this would not be the organization’s only approach to challenging the controversial legislation should the suit fail. The law is scheduled to go into effect in January.

Recall efforts spurred by the bill of more than 10 legislators in both the House and Senate remain underway and will not stop because of this lawsuit, Dudley said.

Dudley told Colorado Community Media the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners have also spoken with citizens planning to recall Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock and will get involved with that campaign “if time and resources permit.”

Spurlock, a Republican sheriff in a largely Republican county, has been a vocal advocate of the bill and received backlash for his unwavering support of Extreme Risk Protection Orders. Dudley said Douglas County sheriffs have a history of being “weak” on the Second Amendment, and that Spurlock’s support of H.B. 19-1177 “set a new low bar.”

Spurlock declined to comment on both the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners’ lawsuit and Dudley’s remarks, although a sheriff ’s office spokeswoman said he “feels very passionate about his part in the bill process and he will continue to fight for what he believes in and for those that are in need of mental health resources/ support.”

LIGHT RAIL FROM PAGE 4

In 2013, still in the early stages of development, the new light rail extension promised easier transit access for Charles Schwab’s 4,000-some employees in RidgeGate. A year later, Charles Schwab opened its doors.

To accommodate the gobs of new commuters, the city rolled out the Lone Tree Link Circulator shuttle to pick up passengers from Lincoln Station and drop them off near Sky Ridge Medical Center one mile south.

Holwell said the opening of the rail extension will bring the end

of the Circulator as the city transitions into full service of the Link On Demand shuttle.

The Circulator currently services about 350 passengers a day, passengers that will soon be getting off at one of the three new light rail stations. That also means fewer cars parked at the Lincoln Station parking garage and fewer people at the station in general.

“That will be a very immediate impact,” Holwell said. “The hustle and bustle will settle down a little bit.”

The E, R and F lines are the three lines that will service the new stations, the Sky Ridge, Lone Tree City Center and RidgeGate Parkway stations. RidgeGate Parkway will be the southernmost stop and the new

IF YOU GO A grand opening ceremony for the new light rail stations will be held May 17 as part of a weekend full of events.

• May 17: Ribbon cutting ceremony, RidgeGate Parkway Station, 9 a.m.

• May 18: “Station Sensation” street party, Sky Ridge Station, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

• May 19: Southeast Rail Extension opens for public service end-of-line for the E, R and F lines.

“We’re excited not only for what this means for our current employees and our efforts to attract talent to the area, but also for the community that we call home — the growing city of Lone Tree,” said Kent Clark, senior vice president at Schwab’s Lone Tree campus.

For RidgeGate’s longest-standing tenants in Sky Ridge Medical Center, which will have a namesake station at its doorstep, the new rail stops will provide better access for latenight workers. The Circulator stops service at 7 p.m. Light rail currently runs from about 4 a.m. to midnight on the E and R lines. The F line runs from 4 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Cathy Cox, a human resources business partner at Sky Ridge, said that while she doesn’t typically work late, the rail extension would benefit the many doctors and nurses who do. Cox lives in Aurora and takes the R Line from the Nine Mile Station, a 20-minute ride to Lincoln Station.

‘It cuts out the middle man.’

Cathy Cox, human resources business partner at Sky Ridge Transferring to the shuttle to get to RidgeGate takes about another 10 minutes, she said.

“It cuts out the middle man,” Cox said. “I’ve had fun with the shuttle drivers but it’s nice to not have to think about when to leave depending on when the shuttle might arrive, so I’m looking forward to it.”

At the announcement of the rail extension’s opening date, Dave Genova, general manager and CEO of the Regional Transportation District, estimated an economic impact of $22.4 billion. The projections are based largely on the plans for RidgeGate’s east side, east of I-25, provided by Coventry Development. Those plans, Simon said, will bring about 8,000 homes and 30,000 new jobs.

“Certainly, planning for the future is a big piece of this too,” Holwell said. “As Douglas County grows in population, the infrastructure under construction today is not just to accommodate May 17. It’s the ability to accommodate commuters many years from now.”

Electric charging stations open in Lone Tree STAFF REPORT

Lone Tree received five new electric vehicle charging stations May 1 in the Target parking garage.

The five stations include a DC Fast Charger that can charge a vehicle in 30 to 45 minutes.

The Target is located at 10001 Commons St. Mayor Jackie Millet spoke during the ribbon-cutting ceremony, alongside Colorado Department of Transportation Executive Director Shoshana Lew, Colorado Energy Office Executive Director Will Toor, Vice President of Coventry Development Keith Simon and Regional Air Quality Council Executive Director Michael Silverstein.

“We’re so excited to offer this as an amenity to our residents and visitors,” Millet said. “With our promi-

nent ocation along the I-25 and C-470 corridors, it makes a lot of sense to make charging stations available.”

The charging stations were installed at the end of April. The price to use the charging stations ranges from 15 cents per kWh to 30 cents per kWh depending on whether the user is using the Level Two charging stations or the DC Fast Charger.

The stations are also funded by the Regional Air Quality Council’s Charge Ahead program.

“We are thrilled to welcome the new EV charging stations to RidgeGate as another partnership project focused on innovation in the community,” Simon said. “They are another feature that will enhance mobility and transportation choice, and support RidgeGate’s position as the most connected community in the Denver Metro Area.

Coroner: Woman obsessed with Columbine died before warnings Schools in metro area closed amid what authorities believed was a threat

BY KATHLEEN FOODY ASSOCIATED PRESS

A Florida teenager obsessed with the Columbine High School shooting had already died by suicide by the time authorities launched a manhunt for her after learning that she had traveled to Colorado just days before the 20th anniversary of the massacre, a coroner’s report said May 1.

An autopsy summary by the Clear Creek County coroner estimated that 18-year-old Sol Pais likely died on April 15 — the day authorities said she flew to Denver from Miami. The FBI’s Denver office said it learned of Pais’ travel the following morning. Agents also learned the day after she died that Pais had gone directly to a gun store from the airport and purchased a shotgun and ammunition.

Pais was already dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound by the time agents began retracing her steps, according to

the coroner’s initial autopsy findings.

The gun purchase and other warning signs, including Pais’ past conversations about the 1999 Columbine shooting, led the FBI and local law enforcement to consider the young woman a potential threat to schools and issue a public warning about her, authorities have said.

Columbine and other schools tightened security the afternoon of April 16 and closed entirely on April 17 when authorities still had not located Pais. She never threatened a specific school, authorities said.

Her body was found on April 17 near Mount Evans. Authorities knew Pais was last seen in the area on April 15 but it was unclear when she killed herself until the coroner’s report May 1.

“Based on the information we had at the time, local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies, in conjunction with school districts in the Denver Metro area, took the necessary steps to ensure our communities, and particularly our students, stayed safe until there was no longer a threat,’’ Jefferson County Sheriff Jeff Shrader said in a statement.

An FBI spokeswoman declined comment.

ajor news stories tumble on top of each other like newborn puppies, and there is a new litter every week.

How’s that for a simile?

Remembering what and when becomes more challenging the older we get, but memories become more meaningful the older we get. Therefore, sometimes it’s good to have reminders.

“Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” was released in the United States on June 2, 1967. It was number one for 15 weeks.

The first line of the first song is, “It was 20 years ago today, Sergeant Pepper taught the band to play.”

I wasn’t even 20 years old when the album came out, so 20 years into the

past seemed like a QUIET very long time.

DESPERATION Not now. The album itself is 52 years old, which is, to quote Wallace Shawn (in what film?), “inconceivable.”

Every day now, an actor, actress, athlete, or entertainer I grew up with is in the obituaries.

Craig Marshall Then I reminisce, Smith a word that means “back-formation.”

Sometimes when this happens, I will look the person up on the internet.

I am especially interested in the formative years of someone, before they

became headlines.

Some of the names this year include: Dan Robbins, who created paint-by-number. I was given a paintby-number set as a joke, when it became obvious that I didn’t need one.

Julie Adams, the dark-haired beauty in the “Creature in the Black Lagoon,” the film Marilyn Monroe and Tom Ewell go to see right before Monroe’s famous subway-vent skirt scene in “The Seven Year Itch” (1954).

now, I pulled up his biggest hit. I have it on my playlist.

Released in 1963, “Miserlou” was referred to as a “surf rock” song. It’s so good that it’s still played at University of Michigan football games.

Wikipedia says that his music drew on “Middle Eastern scales and experimenting with reverberation.”

“He was of Lebanese descent from his father, and of Polish-Belarusian descent from his mother.”

With a name like “Dale,” I figured he was of Manhattan Beach descent.

He was, however, born Richard Anthony Monsour.

Dale never used drugs or alcohol, and studied karate for over 30 years.

Second, follow the advice we see on T-shirts, coffee mugs, and plastered all over social media, “Never Settle.” We need to know what it is we want and why we want it. And then never ever settle for less.

Then its time to become intolerant of being tolerant. We need to define and establish our boundaries of what we will continue to tolerate in our lives that might be leading to our complacency and away from our biggest goals and dreams. We can make a list of the things we realize we are tolerating and then make a conscious decision to just stop. We can make the choice to not accept anything less than we expect of ourselves, and we will not make, accept, or tolerate excuses.

If the biggest contributor to our complacency is just being flat-out tired and exhausted, we need to do what is in our own best interest and get the rest we need. Proper rest and proper

small businesses. It is a time for the small business owners and entrepreneurs in our community to come together and celebrate their accomplishments. The reality is that every week is Small Business Week across America. Small business owners are the true heroes in our communities where they pay good wages, support the local tax base and support our community organizations.

Entrepreneurship allows us to provide something of value to society while also creating a better future for ourselves and the people we love.

Small business owners invest in their communities by sponsoring the local Little League teams, donating profits to the local PTA, and helping plant trees along Main Street.

They invest in the future of their neighborhoods and bring people together in the communities we call home. People have this misconception that big corporations make our

economy the strongest in the world.

But in fact, it’s our small businesses that are the biggest engine of our economy. Small business is truly big business in America.

Small businesses continue to create two out of three net new jobs and employ half of America’s private-sector workforce. They produce close to half of our nation’s goods and services and make up nearly 98 percent of all U.S. exporters. Today, we celebrate their contributions and importance.

For more than 66 years, the SBA has helped some of the most important companies in America grow from small to big: Tesla, Otterbox, Apple, Qualcomm, Fed Ex and Nike. Entrepreneurship is the greatest source of social mobility in America today.

In that same vein, the SBA was created with the mission of helping businesses start, grow, expand — or even recover in the event of a natural disaster. With 68 local SBA district

offices across the country, the agency is uniquely positioned to provide personalized advice and support. The SBA is proud of its role in fostering business growth across the country.

If you own a small business, don’t miss out on the advice and services provided by the SBA and its national partners like the Small Business Development Centers, Women’s Business Centers, Veterans Business Outreach Centers and SCORE chapters.

sleep can immediately reignite our fire and desire as we feel better and healthier. When we feel tired, we need to eliminate or minimize all the things we are doing that drain us of energy and focus our time on the tasks and projects and people that light us up, fire us up, and give us energy.

Show me a settled person, a person who has accepts and tolerates mediocrity, and a tired person and I will show you someone who is allowing complacency to kill their desire to succeed instead of working on their dreams.

So how about you? Before we jump ahead next week to the power of authenticity and the role of gratitude in relation to our success journey, how are you doing when it comes to being complacent in your own life?

Why xeriscaping is crucial to Coloradans, and how to start

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A

ndie Wommack, a horticulture agent for the Colorado State University Extension office in Douglas County, said the most fundamental misconception people have with waterconserving landscaping is in the wording.

“Xeriscaping does not mean ‘zeroscaping.’ There’s a misconception or tag with xeriscaping that it needs to be all rocks and cactus,” Wommack said, “and that’s not really what xeriscaping is.”

For a word coined in Colorado, many residents are still unclear what it means to xeriscape (ze-ri-scape) a yard.

Dianna Denwood, a senior water conservation specialist with Colorado WaterWise, a water conservation resource group, said the state introduced the term “waterwise” to rethink what it means to be conscientious about water use in a landscape.

According to Colorado WaterWise, 50 percent of a Western United States residents’ water usage goes toward landscaping. Xeriscaping a yard, Colorado WaterWise reported, can reduce water usage by up to 60 percent and, if done right, increase home values by up to 15 percent.

“I basically am asking folks to change their understanding of what their yard should look like and put

aside their current notions of what xeriscaping is. A lot of people have this misconception that it is rocks and cactus, but it doesn’t have to be,” Denwood said. “You can have a green, lush landscape with not a single blade of Kentucky bluegrass. It’s changing the mindset and knowing what’s possible.”

Xeriscaping is a style of landscaping that significantly reduces water usage. The style is popular in particularly dry regions, like Colorado, Arizona, Utah and Nevada. Some xeriscaped yards go all the way to zero water usage, while others limit the amount of water needed. Common features of xeriscaped yards include native plants or plants that require little water, various rock formations and creative use of space to eliminate the need for a costly, green yard.

Kentucky bluegrass, the most commonly used grass in Colorado lawns, has one of the lowest water-needs of any grass. It’s managing the irrigation based on location, timing and use that can make all the difference.

“We never want to tell someone they can’t have Kentucky bluegrass.

We do encourage them to think about keeping their bluegrass only where they really need it,” Denwood said.

“We love Kentucky bluegrass because it’s green most of the year and it can handle high foot traffic … If there’s an area you’re not using grass that heavily, that’s the perfect area to transition to waterwise landscaping.”

How to start Most xeriscaping experts will tell you completely transforming your

yard may not be easy or inexpensive. Using a phased-in approach, Denwood said, is the easiest way to work toward a waterwise yard. That begins by replacing certain plants with water-conserving ones, identifying which spots of the yard rarely get foot traffic and developing a plan for what you want your lawn to look like.

“It can be costly, but it depends on how you go about and do it,” Denwood said. “I recommend folks start with a plan and then they can implement their plan in phases over several years and that works really well for folks who are unable to make that upfront cost for the whole thing.”

To many new Front Range residents coming from places with more average rainfall than Colorado, having anything but a green lawn can seem strange. In Denver, the average rainfall is about 15.4 inches, which is almost half the national average.

Ruth Quade, a water conservation coordinator in Greeley, said Kentucky bluegrass is a common choice for contractors because it is droughtresilient and easy to put down and maintain. Water, meanwhile, is used in excess to keep it green.

Quade said one square foot of turf requires about 18 to 20 gallons of water per year. Xeriscaping yards, Quade said, can reduce that by almost half.

“Adapting your landscape to mimic more of nature, you’re going to use less water and you’re not going to have to supply from above,” Quade said.

Steps to start xeriscaping

The gardens at Kendrick Lake in Lakewood are a perfect example of a fully-xeriscaped landscape using a variety of native plants and low-water-use plants.

LANDSCAPING FROM PAGE 14

“We encourage people to use rocks as accents in pathways, and in order to have an attractive landscape, try not to use more than 25 percent rock mulch.

Natives, rock gardens and pea gravel are great, too.”

Wommack said you can have plants that require high water use in a xeriscaped yard, so long as they’re close together to conserve water. Grouping native plants and low-water-use plants together can help, but managing the irrigation system, Wommack said, is also key.

0 “The goal of xeriscaping is to group plants together in ‘hydro zones’ — plants with the same water needs in the same

areas,” Wommack said. “That way you’re watering each area appropriately.”

For help to start xeriscaping your yard, the experts recommend people reach out to local water utility groups or conservation offices.

Colorado’s water problem Despite one of Colorado’s snowiest winters in recent memory, Wommack said it’s still not enough to pull almost half the state from severe or exceptional draught come the summer months.

“We have had some pretty bad droughts here in the last couple of years, which is hard for people to wrap their minds around with the winters we’ve had,” Wommack said.

Colorado is the only headwater state in the continental United States, meaning the state supplies water to many surrounding states.

‘One Fell Swoop’ invites a visit One-of-a-kind sculpture at Chatfield location uses natural materials

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Curving entries almost suck you in as you stand in front of Patrick Dougherty’s swirling, swooping new Stickwork sculpture, “One Fell Swoop” on the lawn behind the Earl J. Sinnamon Visitor Center and Deer Creek Stables at Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield Farms southwest of Littleton.

For a number of years, Denver Botanic Gardens at York Street has hosted a summer sculpture exhibit, with perhaps an example at Chatfield, but it’s nice to see this major work appear in the south division of DBG. (There is also a sculpture show of figural works in the city garden.)

The artist said, in a radio interview, it was his 300th work built from fresh, flexible saplings and branches, sourced in this case from the gardens’ property and across Colorado. It opened to the public on April 27, after hours of building by volunteers who twisted and wove materials according to Dougherty’s design.

It is now included with entrance ticket to the gardens, where families will find in addition: historic farms, an original schoolhouse that was rescued from the site of Chatfield Lake, a number of specialized gardens (iris, heritage, prairie garden, pumpkin patch, etc.) and a large natural area, “native plant refuge,” along Deer Creek, reached by paved paths in some cases. Picnics are permitted.

The receptionist said at least four large trucks arrived bearing materials (all sustainably harvested, we are assured). Willow, choke cherry and more were found on the 700-acre gardens property as well as at other sites and the variety woven together lends a bright, striped quality and a woodsy smell to the new work.

“One Fell Swoop” is appealing and

IF YOU GO

Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield Farms is located off South Wadsworth Boulevard just south of C-470. Turn west from Wadsworth onto Deer Creek Canyon Road and almost immediately turn left at the gardens’ sign.

There is a large parking lot — and there is an entrance charge for non-members. It has been by the car, but seemed to be changing as we write. Open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. (No pets allowed except service dogs.) Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

Portions of the trails are wheelchair-accessible. 720-865-4356, botanicgardens.org. inviting to visitors. Reactions will probably vary from feeling a bit of magic as you enter to “how in the world does he do that???” Or both.

The visitor sees yellow, red, green, brown, shades of gray ... Of course, as it dries and ages, it will lose the contrasts and become a weathered gray-brown, becoming a different artwork than it is today ...

Dougherty’s works are left in place until they deteriorate. Some have lasted for a number of years.

The thin saplings’ flexibility allowed Dougherty and volunteers to form arched entrances to the piece, which is perhaps the size of a small cabin — high enough for an adult to walk through. It has several curved entryways, wispy partitions and several exits. A bit of dappled sunlight filters through and there is plenty of light from the openings.

We are told that a book about Dougherty’s artwork will be available.

A brief search for meaning in the title led to a description of a bird, stopping momentarily in flight — perhaps a raptor capturing prey ... a reference to Macduff (in “Macbeth”) bemoaning his losses came up as a sadder note. “All my pretty ones ... in one fell swoop?”

I am smiling as I imagine the number of children who will be building small replicas in the back yard. Just be sure they understand that freshly cut sticks are needed so they’ll be flexible. (A little help may be needed here.)

The Bible Speaks – Beauty

God is a God of beauty. Eccl 3:11 states that “He has made everything beautiful in its time”. That is particularly true in springtime. The list of beautiful things around us is long & varied: flowers in multiple colors, shapes & scents; trees with a full array of blossoms & leaves; clouds in awesome sizes, shapes & shades of white; sounds of the breeze in the trees or on wind chimes; the melodious songs of birds; brilliant sunrises & sunsets.

How are we to respond to all of this? We are to praise & glorify God for His wonderful, beautiful creation (Ps 19:1-6). We are to think on whatever is lovely, admirable, excellent & praiseworthy (Phil 4:8). Finally, we are to “worship God in the beauty of His holiness” (Ps 29:2). Amen. hfsmail@basicisp.net

‘Our STEM family is hurting,’ superintendent says

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It was a letter Douglas County School District Superintendent Thomas Tucker hoped he would never have to send.

“This is an incredibly difficult letter for me to write to you,” he said in an email to parents the night of May 7.

“Our STEM family is hurting tonight.

Our DCSD family is hurting tonight.”

Earlier that day, a shooting at STEM School Highlands Ranch left one student dead and eight others injured.

The two suspects are in custody.

The school will be closed the remainder of the week, Tucker shared with families in the letter. All other DCSD schools will remain open with heightened security, including additional patrols from local law enforcement partners.

On May 8 starting at 8 a.m., a crisis support center at St. Andrew United Methodist Church in Highlands Ranch was available to all STEM students, staff and families. On Facebook the school district asked community members to donate blankets, new or gently used, for individuals who visit the center. Support staff was on site

Tony Spurlock, Douglas County Sheriff

Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock, joined by county commissioners and school district staff, gives a brief on the May 7 shooting at STEM School Highlands Ranch that injured 8 students.

ALEX DEWIND

Erickson was scheduled for a court appearance the afternoon of May 8.

One of the suspects is a student at STEM and the other previously was a student there, the sheriff said. He added that deputies “struggled” to take the suspects into custody. Two handguns were recovered during the investigation, Spurlock said.

Authorities were working to get search warrants for the suspects’ residences and a vehicle, the sheriff added. The FBI was assisting with the investigation.

No motive for the shooting had been released as of the morning of May 8.

‘Our hearts are hurting for them.’

FROM PAGE 1

An 18-year-old male student was killed, Spurlock said. The county coroner’s office identified him as Kendrick Ray Castillo.

Spurlock was joined at a press conference the morning of May 8 by District Attorney George Brauchler and Gov. Jared Polis in Highlands Ranch.

“Our hearts are hurting for them,” Spurlock said of the victims and the STEM community.

By the morning of May 8, three victims remained in intensive care at area hospitals, while five had been treated and released, Spurlock said.

The youngest victim was 15 years old, according to Spurlock.

Spurlock said he was confident the community would hear about “very heroic things” as more information is released.

The sheriff said video footage shows that officers rushed in to rescue children, carrying some at least 100 yards to the nearest ambulance.

Neither suspect had been on the sheriff ’s office’s radar and they did not appear to be targeting anyone in particular, Spurlock said. The night of May 7, the sheriff ’s office identified the adult male suspect as Devon Erickson, 18, of Highlands Ranch. The juvenile’s name had not been released.

at all other DCSD schools to help students and staff.

Tucker, along with school districts and mental health organizations across the Denver metro area, offered resources for families in the wake of the Highlands Ranch tragedy.

“We are a united family,” Tucker wrote in his letter to families. “We are here to support each and every one of you — students, parents and staff — and will continue to do so as long as needed. Together, we will get through this difficult time.”

For more coverage, go to LoneTreeVoice.net The shooting happened in the high school portion of STEM, which also has elementary and middle school sections, all sharing one campus in an area brimming with businesses and offices. The school was placed on lockdown, while all other schools in Highlands Ranch were placed on lockout, authorities said. According to DCSD’s website, a lockout is in response to a threat outside of a building and secures the building’s perimeter. A lockdown is in response to a threat inside of a building and classrooms’ doors are locked.

STEM, which opened in 2011, was recently named a top Colorado high school by U.S. News & World Report.

The college preparatory school is known throughout the Denver metro area for its focus on science, technolo-

gy, engineering, math and innovation.

Parents were being reunited with their children at nearby Northridge Recreation Center, 8800 South Broadway. Cars were parked along both sides of Broadway from Dad Clark Drive to Highlands Ranch Parkway, about a mile long, and as far as one could see on Plaza Drive, which runs just north of the school. Parents streamed down the sidewalks — many without umbrellas or jackets in the rain — to the rec center. Buses carrying students from the school drove into the rec center parking lots with police escorts.

At about 3 p.m. at the rec center, James Suh, father of two students, said he knew that one child was safe, while the other one had left her phone in the locker room.

“I’m just angry,” he said.

Sarah Feldman was on her way to pick up her 7-year-old son, Joshua, from school when she got a call from her mother.

News media had reported a shooting was underway at Joshua’s school, her mother said. Feldman couldn’t believe it.

The Littleton woman was among scores of families at the rec center roughly three hours after the shooting. She was reunited with Joshua, a first-grader, there and able to take him home at about 4:45 pm.

The shooting didn’t make sense to Feldman: “How in the world could this happen?”

For parents, shock, prayers follow news of shooting

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Outside the entrance to Northridge Recreation Center, a STEM school student clung to loved ones and, with her face buried in their embrace, cried.

In the crowd around her, other tearstricken students walked past while held up by parents and friends.

She wasn’t ready to speak about what happened that day.

“I was in the classroom,” she explained with a piercing stare after the tears stopped.

At approximately 1:53 p.m. on May 7 two armed suspects entered the school and opened fire, according to the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office.

Seven students would be injured and one killed.

Northridge served as the reunification center for families to gather and pick up students bussed from the school after being evacuated.

Larry and Pepsi LaMar were braced to wait for hours as officials released students by grade level, they said, starting with the youngest. The couple’s two sons, a sophomore and a junior, were at school during the incident but uninjured.

When the shooting began, the boys texted the family group chat. Frantically, they told their parents that they heard gunshots and described where they were inside the building.

“Pray pray,” wrote back Pepsi.

Larry and Pepsi asked their sons to text them every five minutes until they were safe.

Their oldest, 16-year-old Jakob, was finally able to call his father as law enforcement escorted him through the halls and out of the school.

“Dad,” Larry recalled him saying, “there’s a lot of blood.”

The shooting left the boys in shock, Pepsi said. Larry said he was surprised a tragedy like that occurred in their school, where students are focused on engineering or programming.

“It’s a STEM school,” Larry said.

“These are kids that smuggle in their Nintendo switches, not guns.”

Sam Pomeroy, an 11-year-old at STEM School, was in social studies class when the school went into lockdown.

As the classroom shut off lights and locked the door, Pomeroy thought two loud bangs were the sounds of some-

body or something hitting the wall.

Later, the sixth-grader would realize it was gunshots.

“We stayed there for a long time,” Pomeroy said. “We were all sitting very still. Very quiet.”

Pomeroy’s mother, Susan, was on a video call for work when she received a text asking if Sam was OK. That’s how she learned about the shooting.

She and her husband sprang into action, she said. She was grateful for what she called an organized and coordinated effort getting students back to parents, but was frustrated by the need for such procedures, she said.

“I really can’t process it,” Pomeroy said. “I wasn’t ever thinking it would happen to us.”

The shooting’s impact was felt among parents and students at nearby schools as well.

Highlands Ranch resident Kristen Anilionis has two children at Trail-

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING Colorado leaders responded to the STEM School shooting via Twitter the afternoon of May 7: “My prayers are with the students, parents and faculty members and I’m grateful to the first responders working to keep everyone safe.”

—U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner, R-Yuma “We are making all of our public safety resources available to assist the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Department in their effort to secure the site and evacuate the students. We are monitoring the situation in real time. The heart of all Colorado is with the victims & their families.”

—Gov. Jared Polis, D-Boulder “It is with broken hearts that we respond to the news coming out of Highlands Ranch.

We still don’t have all the details regarding the situation at STEM school, but we do know this: we have a public health crisis on our hands. This cannot continue.

“It is not enough to send thoughts and prayers, it is empty, it is weak, and it does an injustice to our children who are on the frontlines of this violence.

“We must pass common-sense gun violence laws and ensure we are preparing our educators and law enforcement with the tools and resources necessary to create a safe and welcoming environment. This must stop.”

—U.S. Rep. Jason Crow, D-Aurora “Prayers for the students and families at STEM School, Highlands Ranch. Details still unfolding, one thing I do know is don’t repeat the name of the perpetrator.”

—State Rep. Patrick Neville, R-Castle Rock

blazer Elementary, which is 2.3 miles from STEM along Highlands Ranch Parkway. She was heading home on C-470 when about 15 police cars rushed by, sirens on, from multiple jurisdictions.

When she turned onto Broadway, she saw law enforcement vehicles driving over medians trying to get around the traffic.

“They were seriously doing everything in their power to get to STEM as fast as they could,” she said.

She learned that her kids’ school was on lockout, and students weren’t let out until 4 p.m., one grade at a time.

Parents all gathered outside.

“It was intense,” she said.

“It’s such a tight-knit community,” she said of Highlands Ranch. “You never think it’s going to be that close to home …”

making it easy to determine that the red flag bill is an unreasonable violation of the Constitution.

In opposing the red flag bill our commissioners are doing their

job representing us, the majority, defending the Constitution in the public square.

In the context of this accusatory letter, supporting the red flag bill without substantive arguments covertly promotes a liberal agenda for gun control.
