‘Heaven has gained an angel’ Arapahoe High shooting victim Claire Davis dies By Chris Rotar
crotar@coloradocommunitymedia.com The list of items, each one dropped off as a gesture of hope and support, continued to grow. The flowers, the candles, the cards, the teddy bears, the balloons, the banners urging strength. Since Dec. 13, they piled up outside a fence at Arapahoe High School in Centennial. Claire Davis — and all of Arapahoe High — was tight within an extended community’s embrace. Nine days after Davis was shot in the head, one item, a yellow poster board, spelled out the heartbreaking conclusion of her fight for life.
“Heaven has gained an angel.” Davis had died the previous day, at 4:29 p.m. Dec. 21, at Littleton Adventist Hospital, her family by her side. The 17-year-old had been in critical condition since fellow Arapahoe High student Karl Pierson shot her at the school around 12:30 p.m. Dec. 13. A statement posted on the hospital’s Facebook page announced the news to the community and to those around the nation and world who spent more than a week praying for Davis to recover. The hospital’s message seemed to indicate that Davis was indeed “Warrior Strong” — a mantra built on the school’s nickname and the need to rebound from a nightmare — until the end. “Despite the best efforts of our physicians and nursing staff, and Claire’s fighting spirit, her injuries were too severe and Davis continues on Page 9

Students reach out to Arapahoe Douglas County connections to Centennial school prompt outpouring of compassion By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.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 has left two students dead, one of whom spent nine days in critical condition, members of DCSD reached out to the AHS community through more than a dozen compassionate acts. It started the Monday after the tragedy, when students throughout DCSD reported to school wearing AHS’ black-andgold 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 pajama-day fundraiser. And dozens
of DCSD schools started collections to help offset shooting victim Claire Davis’ medical costs. 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 educational assistant. 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.”
Former Douglas County Deputy Coroner Carter Lord has been found guilty of embezzlement and forgery, crimes he committed while serving the county. In October 2012, the criminal justice division of the Colorado Attorney General’s Office filed a complaint against Lord accusing him of embezzling firearms from the Douglas County Coroner’s Office that had been collected as evidence. An ensuing investigation by the Colorado BuLord reau of Investigation uncovered the fact that three guns which had been taken as evidence by the coroner’s office following suicides investigated by the office had gone missing. “In four instances, the next of kin released the guns to the Douglas County Coroner’s Office, and those weapons should have been destroyed,” a news release from the Attorney General’s Office states. “Four guns were released to Lord for destruction; however, only one of the four guns was actually destroyed. “Lord resold one of the guns, and kept two of the others to sell at a store he owns called The Stock Shop, in Sedalia. Carter Lord filed falsified documents with the Douglas County Coroner’s Office showing that the guns had been destroyed.” Lord pleaded not guilty to the charges and the case was presented to a Douglas County jury on Dec. 17 and 18. The jury returned with guilty verdicts on one count of embezzlement and two counts of forgery on Dec. 19.

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 fatally 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 deter-

mined to take care of each other.” A chain of “fierce kindness,” as one observer described, started almost immediately. 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 died Dec. 21 after nine days in a coma. “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.

Towns shift animal shelter service south Contract with Castle Rock Buddy Center means shorter drives for pet owners, police By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Retrieving an impounded dog is rarely a pleasant task, but new Lone Tree and Parker contracts should remove at least some of the hassle — and save taxpayers money. Officials in both communities now impound stray and loose pets at the Buddy Center in Castle Rock instead of the Humane Society of the South Platte Valley shelter. The Littleton shelter is more than 15 miles from Lone Tree and 22 from Park-
er on a route of often-congested urban streets. The Buddy Center, located off of Founders Parkway, is about 11 miles from Lone Tree and 12 from Parker. Lone Tree and Parker are joining an intergovernmental agreement for the services already in place between Douglas County government and the DDFL, which operates the Buddy Center. The change saves the city money, and police officers and residents time and gas. “Moving to the Buddy Center and entering into an IGA with the county is probably going to save us right around $13,600,” Parker Police Operations Capt. Jim Tsurapas said. “It’s a pretty big savings for us, and it’s a lot closer for the residents to be able to drive for their impounded animals.”
The Parker Town Council likely will vote on the change in January and Tsurapas expects the proposal to pass. The Lone Tree City Council approved the change during its Dec. 17 meeting. Lone Tree’s contract with the South Platte Valley shelter cost the city about $5,500 annually. The new agreement will cost $1,800, a savings of about $3,700. In 2012, Douglas County paid the DDFL $93,106 for animal sheltering and impoundment services. That cost will increase somewhat with the addition of the two communities, but county leaders don’t expect it will be significant. Adding Lone Tree and Parker to the contract is only logical, said Maureen Waller, project manager with Douglas County Government.
“It works out well for all of us,” she said. “It’s a significant savings for both Parker and Lone Tree. “And it’s a lot better for our residents. Driving to Castle Rock is a lot better than to Belleview and Santa Fe.” The Town of Castle Rock already uses the Buddy Center, Waller said, which means the county entities now are part of a common agreement. The Buddy Center is located off I-25 and Founders Parkway at 4556 Castleton Court. It is a sister facility to the larger Denver Dumb Friends League shelter on Quebec Street. Last year, DDFL adopted, reunited or transferred 16,762 pets. Lone Tree police transport between 20 and 25 injured, lost or neglected pets annually to the animal shelter.

music-loving dad designs t-shirt to help program Portion of sales to benefit schools By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Highlands Ranch resident Stephen Humphries fell in love with music in the sixth grade, when he first picked up a set of drum sticks. It remains among his greatest life passions, one he hopes all children have the opportunity to experience. “I know it’s low on the priority list compared to English and math and science,” he said, “but I certainly don’t want to see it completely vanish from school programs.” Humphries and his 20-year-old, fellow musician son designed a music-themed T-shirt they hope can help keep music in school. A portion of the proceeds from the shirts’ sales will benefit school music programs, starting with Bear Canyon Elementary — where his two daughters attend school. Both girls have music class every three weeks in school, and also take guitar lessons.
“I’m not naïve enough to think I’m going to make a huge difference, but I think every little bit can help,” said Humphries, who owns a restaurant exhaust cleaning business. Bear Canyon music teacher Aimee Newman said Humphries’ gesture is welcome. “I’m honored he chose Bear Canyon to start this fundraiser and I hope they sell well,” she said of the T-shirts. “I feel music education is so important, and I appreciate that it’s supported here in the Highlands Ranch area.” The shirt spells out the word “music” in musical clefs and notes, followed by the words “is hope.” The three-word sentence reflects Humphries’ feelings about music. “It’s a universal language,” he said. “No matter where you go, music is one of the most important things in every culture. It’s just so easy to identify with — in good times and in bad.” Humphries will donate 20 percent of proceeds from the sale of each shirt to a school music program. The cost of a T-shirt is $12 for kids and $15 for adults. Shirts are available on eBay and Etsy.com by searching for “music is hope.”

Students take leadership cue Three-year program inspires leaders of tomorrow By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Highlands Ranch High School student Cole Miller already has his career goals firmly in place. Youth Leadership Douglas County will help him get there, he believes. “I want to be a lobbyist,” the junior said. “This helps most definitely with my interpersonal skills.” Modeled after the adult Leadership Douglas County program and launched in 2006, YLDC is tailored to high school students. Most of them already have taken leadership roles in their schools, and seek to polish those skills as they prepare for adult life. Students are chosen as sophomores by members of the junior-year YLDC class. Like the adult program, they participate in monthly day-long, experiential-based programs during their junior and senior years of high school. They learn team building by taking on a ropes course, history through a visit to the Highlands Ranch Mansion, personal finance with trips to car dealerships and furniture stores, and about government with a trip downtown to meet local legislators at the state capitol.
“Each class has a different theme,” program coordinator Kristine Turner said. “For example, personal finance day teaches students about financial independence but also highlights understanding your strengths and weaknesses as a leader. Health care day at Sky Ridge (Medical Center) also teaches them the leadership skills of team building: How do you build a strong team that balances people’s strong points and weak areas? How do you get input from all members of a team, even the quiet members?” As they progress through the 3-year-long program, Turner said she sometimes sees dramatic changes in YLDC participants. “There are students that start out quiet and reserved,” she said. “Then there are some that are already leaders. They come here and think, `Oh, I have to share the limelight.’ They are learning to lead and also learning when not to lead.” Consultant Vanessa Lujan volunteers her time annually to help lead a YLDC session. During the December session at the Lone Tree Civic Center, she urged the students to study other leaders, learn how to listen to others and stay open to new experiences. “Leadership is a journey,” Lujan said. “It’s not a destination.” As seniors, YLDC students are expected to turn their skills into action and
Highlands Ranch High School junior Cole Miller makes a point during a Dec. 9 session of Youth Leadership Douglas County held at the Lone Tree Civic Center. Photo by Jane Reuter give back to the community. YLDC seniors have taught leadership classes for elementary schools, volunteered at Sky Ridge Medical Center, and planted school gardens. The class costs $495 per student, but YLDC granted $6,000 in scholarships to participants in 2012 alone to help defray that cost. “We want to make sure every child who wants to participate can have that
opportunity,” Turner said. Students who participate in YLDC also may get college credit for the course, which are transferable to many colleges in Colorado and other states. The Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce established the adult Leadership Douglas County program in 1999. For more information about the adult and youth programs, visit www.leadershipdouglascounty.org.

Lord Continued from Page 1
Lord, who was also arrested on a DUI charge in March near Sedalia, could face up to three years for the embezzlement count and up to six years on each count of forgery. He will be sentenced on Feb. 24, 2014. “We appreciate the thoughtful work of the jury, and believe their verdict represents a just outcome,” said Attorney General John Suthers. “We also thank our partners at the CBI for conducting a very thorough and professional investigation.” The first of the weapons was discovered missing from the coroner’s office in 2012 by Coroner Lora Thomas, who had defeated Lord in the 2010 Republican primary. Once Thomas saw there was a weapon unaccounted for, she turned the case over to authorities. As Lord, who served under former Coroner Wes Riber, was a suspect in the investigation, and Sheriff David A. Weaver had endorsed Lord’s candidacy against Thomas, the sheriff’s office passed the investigation on to the CBI. “The reason I ran for this office was because I knew about the mismanagement here,” Thomas told Colorado Community Media in a prior interview regarding the case. “I inherited a situation here. I’ve been here for about two years and it’s a totally different environment. We are accountable, professional and efficient.” Thomas is a Republican candidate for Douglas County Sheriff and is running against Weaver’s undersheriff, Tony Spurlock, a fellow Republican, as well as Castle Rock Police Cmdr. John Anderson, also a Republican. The Republican primary is slated for June 2014 and the general election will be November 2014.
Sex offender found guilty With Parker case pending, jury convicts 20-year-old By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews. com A registered sex offender arrested for assaulting two boys in the locker room of the Parker Recreation Center in November 2012 has been found guilty in a separate sex assault case. The crimes, involving an 8-yearold boy from Arapahoe County, were brought to the attention of authorities after Corrin Cleveland, 20, was arrested for the alleged incident in Parker. He is facing separate charges in Douglas County for that incident. After a five-day trial at the Arapahoe County Justice Center, Cleveland was found guilty Dec. 16 of three counts of sexual assault on a child as part of a pattern of abuse. Prosecutors said Cleveland was living with his aunt when he befriended the victim, who lived nearby. The boy reported being sexually assaulted on at least
five occasions, including one that involved being bound with rope and tape. The 18th Judicial District Attorney’s office secured a conviction from the 12-person jury, despite a lack of DNA evidence or a confession. The victim “bravely testified” for more than three hours, which chief deputy district attorney Leora Joseph believes convinced the Cleveland jurors of Cleveland’s guilt. A statement from the DA’s office characterized his testimony as “detailed and credible.” Cleveland, who now faces eight years to life in prison, is scheduled to be sentenced at 1:30 p.m. March 6 in front of Arapahoe County District Court Judge Elizabeth Volz. Arthur Perlman, Cleveland’s attorney, suggested during the trial that a special victims’ expert who first interviewed the victim asked leading questions and used anatomical drawings that he says increase the risk of erro-
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.
neous claims. Officials with the DA’s office said Cleveland used “innocent childhood games” to perpetrate the abuse from May 2011 through August 2012. Roger Landeis, lead investigator for the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office, testified that the victim didn’t tell anyone about the sexual abuse because “he didn’t want to get in trouble.” He acknowledged the crimes after being asked by his parents about his contact with Cleveland. Landeis said he received the report Nov. 7, 2012, one day after Cleveland was arrested for the alleged crime in Parker. In the recreation center incident, the boys ran to the front desk and reported that Cleveland had touched one of them in the locker room while committing a lewd act on himself. A rec center employee wrote down Cleveland’s license plate number when he left the parking lot, a move that investigators say was crucial in his arrest. Cleveland was already on probation for a third offense that led to his classification as a registered sex offender in Arapahoe County.

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.

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. For example, emergency response in an
our view 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
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
“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
“Find a home. (I’m condo shopping.)” — Yvette Jackson, Greenwood Village
“I’m going to try to keep my grade point average at 4.0.” — Morgan Moen, Parker
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 period 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.

Network has some tips for parents whose children 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 age-appropriate manner. • Limiting media exposure. • Maintaining the normal rules of the household, like chores and curfews. Take care of yourself and your children.
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!

SHOOTING AT ARAPAHOE HIGH
Stories of heroism emerge Medics rush in despite 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 Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Deputy 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-year-old 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 minutes. “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.

Photo by Tom Munds 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 decisionmaking 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. Littleton Fire Rescue participates in drills alongside nearby po-
lice and fire agencies, including an activeshooter drill in Englewood in early November. 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-and-beyond calls that happens once or twice in your career,” Meneses said. “Everything went like we would have trained.”
‘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, fatally 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 most advanced medical treatments could not prevent this tragic loss of life. Claire’s death is immensely heartbreaking for our entire community, our staff and our families.” Shortly after that posting, the hospital relayed a message from the Davis family, which, in part, stated: “Although we have lost our precious daughter, we will always be grateful for the indelible journey she took us on over the last 17 years — we were truly blessed to be Claire’s parents. The grace, laughter and light she brought to this world will not be extinguished by her death; to the contrary, it will only get stronger. “Last week was truly a paradox in that we lost our daughter, yet we witnessed the wonderful love that exists in the world through the tremendous outpouring of support we received. “We’d like to take this opportunity to thank the first responders, the school resource officer, security guard and vice principal at Arapahoe High School, the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s office, and the physicians, nurses and staff at Littleton Adventist Hospital. Each played a significant role in giving Claire a chance to live, and demonstrated extreme amounts of professionalism, courage and love. “Please know that we will never forget
Jeff Wasden’s PROformance Apparel is selling these T-shirts and most of the money is going to the Claire Davis Fund. 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” the extraordinary work you did on Claire’s behalf. “We ask that you give us time to grieve the death of our daughter by respecting our wishes for privacy.” Davis, who loved horses and the boyband One Direction, was a senior at Arapahoe. Authorities believe she just happened to be near the north entrance to the school used by Pierson as he made his charge to the library in search of his primary target, the coach of the speech and debate team. The shotgun-wielding Pierson killed himself in the library about a minute after shooting Davis. Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson said the two knew each other, but likely not well, and that there is no evidence she was a target of Pierson’s. “As the result of discussions with the Davis family and friends of Claire Davis, it is clear that Claire and the shooter were school acquaintances, but were never close friends,” Robinson said in a Dec. 18 news release. Over the weekend, Davis’ family announced the establishment of the Arapahoe High School Community Fund honoring Claire Davis. The charitable fund will “support Arapahoe High School and the surrounding community by providing assistance for mental health care, antibullying programs and other community needs,” according to a statement by the City of Centennial. Littleton Adventist said information regarding a public celebration of Davis’ life will be announced at a future date.
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 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
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 lingered. The community rallied around the high school’s students and staff on Dec. 19. Claire Davis, who had been shot in the head, would die two days later, but on this day, she clung to life in critical condition at Littleton Adventist Hospital. “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.” “There’s a lot of love here,” said Cheyenne Serrano. “The support from friends and family and people around the community I’ve never even met has been incredible.” Wearing white “Warrior Strong” T-shirts and expressions of grim determination, students returned to the scene of the Dec. 13 shooting this week to pick up personal belongings and reconnect with classmates. 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 last week that the school’s library will be remodeled before reopening next year. The library was damaged by a fire from a Molo-
“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.

tov 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 re-
turn in January.” Across University Boulevard from the high school, employees at the Burger King franchise were readying for an all-day fundraiser for Davis’ family scheduled for Dec. 20. The fast-food restaurant planned to donate 100 percent of its sales on Dec. 20 to the family to help with medical costs. “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 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 pick-up 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. “We really miss the students,” said an employee at Chipotle in the Cherrywood Shopping Center. “It’s just not the same around here without them.” Courtney Harriman and Tian Bank, both of whom graduated from Heritage High School in 2013, said they came to the memorial outside the school on Dec. 19 to “place flowers and pray for Claire.” “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.”

Ruter-Hess Reservoir could become rec area Castle Rock Town Council hears vision By Virginia Grantier
vgrantier@ourcoloradonews.com The new still-filling Rueter-Hess Reservoir just north of Castle Rock is expected to be bigger than Cherry Creek Reservoir, someday — and in anticipation of that, its creator, Parker Water and Sanitation District, recently came to Castle Rock Town Council asking if the town might support developing recreational amenities there. Ideas being floated: Things such as fishing, a swim beach, dog park, picnic and camping areas and miles of trails — and possibly non-motorized boating, eventually. The consensus of Castle Rock Town Council: Interested. “I really like the potential … I think it’s a great idea,” said Castle Rock Mayor Paul Donahue, who also said he appreciated having the opportunity to have input and possibly being a part of it. Ron Redd, district manager for Parker Water and Sanitation District, and Susan St. Vincent, the district’s director of business solutions, assured the town council they weren’t asking for financial support — not at this point, anyway. They’re talking to various councils and districts — including Castle Rock, Castle Pines and Stonegate, which have water-storage rights at RueterHess — to ascertain interest and to find partners with park and recreation expertise, Redd said. St. Vincent said later the district hopes to start the master-planning process in 2014. She said they don’t know at this point what the cost would be, or the timeframe, to develop recreational amenities. She hopes to know more in six months to a year.
Construction of the $193.9 million Rueter-Hess Reservoir, just east of Interstate 25’s Castle Pines Parkway exit and north of Castle Rock, was completed in 2012 and has been slowing filling with water since then. It captures surface water, especially storm runoff that normally would be lost downstream. It will help provide additional drinking water for Parker, help meet demand during summer and drought and extend the life of underground water aquifers, according to Parker Water and Sanitation District’s website. Water that has been through Parker’s system and treated, is also stored there, St. Vincent told Colorado Community Media. The reservoir currently holds about 7,800 acre-feet of water, covering about 311 acres of land. At capacity it will have about 72,000 acre-feet of water, covering about 1,170 acres of land and fingers of the reservoir will be visible from Interstate 25. On its south end, some homeowners in Castle Park Ranch, a Ranchette-type development, will look down on it, have beach-front property, with at least one property having water only about 20 to 30 feet away from the garage.
A vision of the future
St. Vincent told Castle Rock’s town council that in recent discussions in Parker the “energy behind the project has just been amazing,” and she thinks it will end up being a legacy for the people who choose to be involved. St. Vincent said the west side of the Rueter-Hess Reservoir is protected as habitat preservation for “vast amounts of wildlife” including elk and deer. So it would be the opposite side, the reservoir’s east side, that would be most appropriate for such things as access to fishing, a dog park, swim beach picnic areas, and parking.
On the north side, north of Hess Road, there is 550 acres, room for such things as a golf courses or mountain bike trails, she said. The south side has been identified as potential overnight camping areas — where scouts or church groups could pack in and camp out for multiple nights. That would be down the road when the facility had overnight security and ranger services, she said. In addition, there will be about 17 miles of potential hiking-trail area that run around all the fingers of the reservoir, an “amazing opportunity to spend the day there once it’s totally filled.” It could be a central place where regional trails come together. St. Vincent said it’s an amazing piece of land with great views, and would be an attraction. “…In Colorado if there is a body of water people will come,” she said. At a past Parker meeting, St. Vincent said all of the attendees raised their hands when asked if they were excited about the possibility of such a project. And when asked if they’d be willing to help pay for it in the form of potentially a tax, about 70 to 80 percent raised their hands. During public comments, a Castle Rock resident said that kite surfers, or kite boarders, currently only have Aurora Reservoir available for their sport. He said he thinks town council would be surprised how much activity the sport brings and he hopes that would be part of a recreation plan. Rob Hanna, the town’s parks and recreation director, said in a joint memo with Redd, that in the past months they have been meeting with staff from Parker, Douglas County and others to discuss forming a regional partnership and that those representatives “share our support and excitement of providing public access and potential regional `draw’ this distinctive project provides.”
Mom of two faces attempted murder charges By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz@ coloradocommunitymedia.com A Highlands Ranch mother faces attempted first-degree murder charges after she tried to kill her two young children, police say. Erin Giberti, 37, was found unconscious in a running vehicle in a garage Dec. 9, with her two children standing outside the home in the 4900 block of Laurelglen Lane, near Southridge Recreation Center. The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office is not releasing any other details about the incident,
other than to say the “kids were initially in the car,” said spokesman Ron Hanavan. The sheriff’s office recommended four felony charges against Giberti on Dec. 19, including two counts of Giberti attempted first-degree murder of a child under 12 by a person in a position of trust. Hanavan said he believes the children did not sustain injuries. Giberti, who was hospitalized after the incident, is in custody on a
$250,000 bond. Her Facebook page provides a glimpse into the life of someone who appears to be a typical Highlands Ranch mother. Friends and family gushed about photos Giberti posted of herself with two young boys. In a section that enables Facebook users to talk about their personal life, Giberti encouraged readers to “spend quality time with family.” Her LinkedIn profile says she works for RE/MAX as a broker and relocation specialist.

Ponderosa player comes up big in post Wyoming-bound Barnes still a student of game By Jim Benton
jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Every time Jonathan Barnes pulls down a rebound or wheels toward the basket his potential surfaces. The 6-foot-11 senior may be captain on the Ponderosa basketball team but he’s a neophyte on the court. He is playing in only his third year of competitive basketball but has attracted interest from major colleges. Barnes signed a letter of intent in November to continue his basketball education at the University of Wyoming and admits he was surprised that he drew the attention of college recruiters. “It was very surprising,” said Barnes. “It was very, very humbling to see that the hours the coaches had spent in the gym with me paid off. That means a lot to me. It means a lot to our program. It shows that if you work hard and listen to your coaches you have a chance as long as you keep your head down and don’t look back.” Ponderosa coach Mike Gibbs met Barnes at a Parker gym. “I was at a rec gym, working out, playing and I though he was in college,” recalled Gibbs. “He was a homeschooled kid. He was homeschooling in Douglas County and he decided to play at Ponderosa. “He came in green but we work weekly on his skill development so he can have more success on the court but he still has a long way to go. ... All things considered he has come a long way. He has his spells of going back to being green but he works hard and he doesn’t quit. He is getting better daily. His basketball IQ and skills are rising.” Barnes grew 13 inches before his sophomore season and he is still growing.
Ponderosa senior Jonathan Barnes, who stands 6 feet 11 inches, is headed to Wyoming to play basketball next year. This is only his third year playing the game. Photo by Jim Benton “I’d always been bigger than everyone else, I really wanted to play but there was just stuff going on in my family,” explained Barnes. “My family is really big in the ministry within our extended family and we had some sickness within our extended family. It would have been too difficult for me to compete in sports and also be home for my aunt who got sick. “I started playing pickup at Lifetime Fitness down in Parker and met a bunch of guys. They said, ‘you’ve never played basketball?’ I said `no I really hadn’t’. They said, `you’ve got to go play high school basketball.’ I was fortunate enough to meet coach Gibbs. And the rest is history.” The rest included a lot of hard work. “It was hard at first,” said Barnes. “The toughest thing for me was really becoming aggressive. Something I
still have trouble with is being super aggressive. A lot of it is being such a big guy. I am actually kind of soft.” Barnes scored at a 14.9 pont per game clip and hit 65 percent of his field goal attempts as a junior, also averaging 9.5 rebounds a game. In five games this season, he is averaging 11.5 points, 14.3 rebounds and 2.1 blocked shots a game and shooting over 50 percent from the floor. “My basketball skills are very rudimentary so I have to try to not do too much,” admitted Barnes. “Being thrown in the game like this, with this being my third year playing varsity, playing at all, I pick up lot of different things all the time with the amount of time coach has spent with me. “So just keeping the game simple, that’s the biggest thing I have to learn. It seems super simple but when you have a chance to put up
a jump shot instead of going to the basket, learning to be patient and seeing the opportunities, that’s the biggest thing.” In addition to Wyoming, some of the colleges that lined up to recruit Barnes included Pepperdine, Utah, Washington State, LaSalle, Belmont, Toledo, Wichita State and Northern Colorado. “Jonathan was a late bloomer to everyone, including himself,” Wyoming coach Larry Shyatt said in a news release. “He started basketball late at Ponderosa High School and I give a great deal of credit to his coach Mike Gibbs who believed in Jonathan’s future. “Every time he stepped on the floor last year he got better and better. When Allen (Edwards) and I saw him last summer in Indianapolis against one of the top players in America, it was obvious he has the qualities to become a stopper inside and someone capable at both ends of the floor.” Gibbs envisions a promising future for Barnes. “His upside is huge,” he said. “I’d like to see more aggression, realizing he is 6-11, 250 pounds so he can be more physical, more aggressive and be more of a presence. Also he needs to develop his outside game. We are working more on that in preparation for college next year. It’s a work in progress but we want to make sure we get that stronger. He’s a team captain, he’s a good kid, he does a good job of keeping his teammates focused.” Barnes said his outside game needs to improve. “I’ve worked on that a lot especially over the summer, just trying to see when it is advantageous to take inside shots versus outside shots,” he said. “That’s really going to be big in college. “That is why I really have to be patient right now and take what I can get. Then as teams tend to push me out of the paint and put two or three guys on me, then I have to step out and take the jump shot.”
Seno sizes up opposing speedsters ThunderRidge senior named tops on defense By 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 this fall 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,

Area coaches were asked for their thoughts, and their input was weighed heavily when CCM’s sports staff made the final selection for each sport. EligiblE athlEtES come from all the high schools in Douglas County, the high schools in the Littleton Public Schools District and from Cherry Creek High School. 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

Photo by Tom Munds 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.”
