Castle Pines city manager resigns

No reason given by Don Van Wormer, who held the post since 2013

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The City of Castle Pines has announced the resignation of its city manager, Don Van Wormer, who was hired by the town in 2013 and previously served as the city manager of Monte Vista.

Van Wormer’s last day as city manager was Jan. 12. His annual salary was $115,000.

“I want to thank Mr. Van Wormer for his Van Wormer service to the community and wish him well,” Mayor Tera Radloff said in an emailed statement on Jan. 16. “As the city begins the process of selecting a new manager, residents can be certain that staff and City Council will continue to provide the community with the very highest level of public service.”

In his resignation letter to the mayor and city council, dated Jan. 11, Van Wormer wrote he had decided to resign from his position as city manager effective the following day.

“Thank you for the support and the opportunities that I have had while working for the City of Castle Pines.

It has been my privilege and honor to serve the city council and the residents of Castle Pines,” Van Wormer’s letter read.

A spokeswoman for the city, Kristen Knoll, said Van Wormer did not give a reason for resigning, but that “his separation was mutual and amicable.”

She was not aware of his professional plans for the future.

There is no timeline in place for filling the vacancy, she said, and staff will continue with their duties as assigned.

“I know that city council would like to move quickly,” Knoll said of replacing Van Wormer. “In the interim, staff and council are very committed to ensuring that all city services are still of the highest level, and operations will continue even without a city manager in place.”

Van Wormer was hired as the city’s manager in 2013, at an annual salary of $105,000, after a several-monthslong selection process involving candidates from across the country. In speaking with Colorado Community Media after his hiring, Van Wormer described Castle Pines as city full of opportunity, particularly because of its ample open space.

Van Wormer grew up in California and served in the Navy before working as a systems engineer for corporations. Van Wormer moved to Grand Junction in 1982 with plans to become a history teacher, but was referred to a program sponsored by the Colorado Department of Local Affairs that drafted people into the public administration field.

Through the program, he worked as a policy analyst for Mesa County.

He then worked in public administration for Hinsdale County and Kremmling before accepting a position with Monte Vista.

Safe2Tell emerges as key resource for students’ safety

Keeping students, schools safe A look at safety and security in Denver metro schools

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In Colorado, where eight school shootings have occurred since 1982 — leaving 19 dead and 29 wounded — keeping students safe is a reality that has spurred Denver metro area districts to lead the way nationally when it comes to assessing threats and following sound safety protocol, experts say.

“Schools in Colorado are a little more sensitive and open to safety,” said John Nicoletti, a police psychologist based in Lakewood who works with law enforcement around the country, specializing in threat assessment and trauma recovery.

“Some districts out of state I work with, they say they don’t think it’ll happen there. If you’ve never had an event, you’re reluctant to spend money and put time into it. But schools in Colorado take this stuff seriously.”

The metro area’s history includes what was once the deadliest school shooting in U.S. history at Columbine High School in south Jefferson County. In 1999, two teenagers killed 12 students and a teacher before killing themselves.

The most recent attack at a metroarea school was the 2013 shooting at

Jefferson County Public Schools has a 24-hour armed security team that patrols schools and handles threat assessments.

Arapahoe High School in Centennial in which a student who was intent on murdering a faculty member instead shot a classmate to death, then killed himself.

Tragedy has changed the way area school districts assess and approach threats: Over the years, a statewide anonymous tip line has been created, a shared safety protocol was introduced with a system that focuses on locking doors, an active-shooter training center opened and threat management has become one of the main focuses of school safety and security teams.

“It’s scary, given the world we seem to be living in right now,” said Chris Wilderman, director of safe and sustainable environments for Adams 12 Five Star Schools. “But schools are still a very safe place for students to be. Security people like myself in Colorado, we take it so serious, especially because of our history. We never take for granted school safety and security and are constantly working at best practices and trying to improve.”

Leading the conversation With three of the eight Colorado school shootings taking place in Jefferson County schools — Columbine High School and two at Deer Creek

Middle School — John McDonald, executive director of security and emergency management, said his district feels a need to lead the charge in the discussion of school safety and protocol.

“I don’t know anyone else in the country with three active-shooter situations — we might be the only one,” said McDonald, who has spent almost 30 years in the security field. “I never consider us to be the experts, but we are students of this issue. We learn from all these events around the country and we dissect it ourselves and talk about how it applies here.”

As the state’s second-largest district, with 86,000 students and 156 schools, McDonald and his team have one of the largest student bodies to protect. The district’s schools security and emergency management team operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week and 365 days a year patrolling, taking calls at the dispatch center and assessing threats.

Its patrol team includes 18 armed security officers who respond to all schools in the district, and the campus security division includes about four unarmed personnel at each high school.

SEE SAFETY, P6

Safe2Tell, an anonymous way for students, parents, school staff and community members to report concerns regarding their safety or the safety of others, emerged as a needed resource in the aftermath of the deadly 1999 shooting at Columbine High School.

A statewide program is founded on the idea that prevention and early intervention is key to preventing violence and saving lives. Its goals are to educate young people and school staff on critical issues, encourage them to play a role in prevention and equip them with a tangible direct way to report anonymously.

Research from the U.S. Secret Service and U.S. Department of Education shows that in 81 percent of violent incidents in U.S. schools, someone other than the attacker knew it was going to happen but failed to report it.

To penetrate this code of silence, Safe2Tell Colorado initially was founded as a nonprofit organization, incorporated to develop a statewide anonymous reporting tool available 24 hours a day to accept reports whenever a Colorado youth or concerned adult perceived a threat to their safety or the safety of others.

In 2014, the Colorado General Assembly adopted Senate Bill 2014-002 incorporating Safe2Tell under the Colorado Office of the Attorney General, providing funding for reporting avenues such as phone, web and mobile app, trainings and education and awareness efforts.

“Safe2Tell is all about empowerment and telling,” said John McDonald, executive director of security and emergency management for Jefferson County Public Schools.

He also called it a civics lesson in being a good member of the community.

Reports from the anonymous tip program go to principals, law enforcement and school dispatch centers and they respond as a trifecta.

During the 2016-17 school year, Safe2Tell received 9,163 reports statewide, a 58 percent increase from the previous year.

The top five tips were about suicide threats, bullying, drugs, cutting and depression.

Threats and planned school attacks came in at the top sixth and seventh type of tip.

McDonald noted that not all these threats turn out to be legitimate and some are duplicate tips for multiple people.

The program is available to every district in the state for free and most take advantage of that, a model unique to Colorado.

Some districts, including Douglas County, also partner with the local sheriff ’s office to offer a second text-to-tip line. In Douglas County, Text-A-Tip was used to report the 2015 Mountain Vista murder plot, in which two teenage girls planned to commit a mass shooting.

Students, teachers and community members can make an anonymous report at safe2tell.org by using a smartphone and downloading the Safe2Tell Colorado mobile app from the Apple Store or Google Play or by calling 1-877-542-7233 to speak to a live dispatcher.

Learning from lessons of the past Training center draws law enforcement, schools from across the country

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

One way the Jeffco school district is sharing its knowledge is through the The Frank DeAngelis Center for Community Safety — named after former Columbine High School

SAFETY FROM PAGE 4

Douglas County is another district that also utilizes an armed security team in addition to school resource officers and a school marshal team, which assigns officers to visit schools regularly. Like Jeffco, it has a 24-hour safety and security dispatch center.

All districts in the area partner with local law enforcement, but what makes the operation in Jeffco unique is that nine law enforcement agencies work together to provide school resource officers at every high school, most middle schools and a few that rotate between elementary schools free of charge to the district.

But the heart of the operation is the dispatch center, which took 70,000 calls last year, and the threat-assessment division, which identifies students as at-risk for behaviors.

“We’re focused on stopping threats, identifying what to do to protect the students, and support or consequences for the student who made the threat,” McDonald said. Depending on the nature of the threat, that could mean an arrest or suspension.

In the first semester of the 2017-18 school year, Jeffco schools handled 100 threat assessments on students because they had engaged in behavior or made statements that threatened the safety of others. When that happens, the threat-assesment team — which includes personnel from law enforcement, the district attorney’s office, the mental health field and the school district — work together to make a determination and put a safety plan in place. Some assessments result in criminal charges, while others take a redirective route through intensive mental health therapy.

Threat management is key focus Focusing on threat management is one way to prevent an incident from occurring, Nicoletti said.

“In this day and age, we tell schools there is no such thing as observation only,” Nicoletti said. “Threat management has to be at the center of it. If someone broadcasts that they will kill a coach or shoot up the school, you need to believe it. You can’t not believe it — it’s a different world.”

Threat management is the initial reaction. It’s the response to when a threat is first heard, how the district responds, how the student is handled, how the impact on the school is managed and how to manage the impact to the community.

The Douglas County School District

Principal Frank DeAngelis — which opened in the Martensen Elementary School building in Wheat Ridge in April 2017.

The facility closed to students in 2011 and now serves school districts and law enforcement agencies throughout the country as a training

center to prepare for active-shooter situations, learn crisis-prevention techniques in a real-school environment and use a simulator that offers interactive training for a variety of school threat scenarios.

STANDARD RESPONSE PROTOCOL The Standard Response Protocol (SRP) is based not on individual scenarios but on the response to any given situation. The premise is simple — four specific actions can be performed during an incident by students, staff, teachers and first responders.

Lockout is followed by the directive “secure the perimeter” and is the protocol used to safeguard students and staff within the building.

Lockdown is followed by “locks, lights, out of sight” and is the protocol used to secure individual rooms and keep students quiet and in place.

Evacuate is always followed by a location, and is used to move students and staff to a different location in or out of the building.

Shelter is always followed by the type of hazard — such as a tornado — and a safety strategy and is the protocol for group and self-protection.

was faced with handling a major threat at Mountain Vista High School in December 2015. Two teenage girls planned to commit a mass shooting at the Highlands Ranch school before killing themselves, according to arrest affidavits.

“This was a unique case because if you look at shooting profiles in the past they were all males,” said Rich Payne, director of safety for Douglas County School District. “What we say now is that it’s no longer genderspecific.”

After a tip came in through the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office’s Text-a-Tip line about the murder plot, authorities launched an investigation, as the sheriff ’s office does with all weapons threats, Payne said. Once the tip proved to be credible, both girls were arrested and charged as adults with conspiracy to commit murder.

The two girls eventually pleaded guilty in separate hearings in late 2016 and early 2017 and were sentenced to juvenile corrections facilities.

“The reality is these things are being stopped all the time, but no one publishes their success case,” Nicoletti said. “No one says we had six kids threaten to blow up the school and we stopped all of them. But that’s threat management at work.”

Standard Response Protocol Another resource that was was sparked by tragedy and is available to all school districts nationwide for free is the Standard Response Protocol (SRP) created by the “I Love U Guys” Foundation.

The foundation was started by Ellen and John-Michael Keyes in response to the death of their daughter, Emily Keyes, who was killed when a gunman held seven girls hostage at Platte Canyon High School in Bailey in 2006.

During the time she was held hostage, Keyes sent her parents text

Lockout vs. lockdown The difference between lockout and lockdown is critical. A lockout pulls in all students from outside the building, secures the building perimeter and locks all outside doors.

This would be implemented when there is a threat or hazard outside of the building.

Criminal activity, dangerous events in the community or even a vicious dog on the playground would be examples of a lockout response. Teaching can continue with little classroom

messages reading “I love u guys.” The foundation aims to restore and protect the joy of youth through educational programs and positive actions in collaboration with families, schools, communities, organizations and government entities.

The Standard Response Protocol is based not on individual scenarios but on the response to any given situation.

It allows students, teachers, security officials and first responders to use the same vocabulary and specifies what is done in a lockout, lockdown, evacuation and shelter situation. Districts practice drills for these scenarios multiple times a year to ensure smooth execution.

By standardizing the vocabulary, everyone can understand the response and status of the event. For students, this provides continuity of expectations and actions throughout their educational career. For teachers, this becomes a simpler process to train and drill. For first responders, the protocols establish a greater predictability that persists throughout any incident. Parents can easily understand the practices and can reinforce the protocol. Additionally, this protocol gives schools a game plan even when an unforeseen event occurs.

The protocol also allows more specific information to be shared. An intruder event may start as a lockdown, which is used to secure individual rooms and keep students quiet and in place when there is a threat inside the school. But as the intruder is isolated, first responders might transition parts of the school to an “evacuate to the gym and lockdown,” and later “evacuate to the bus zone.”

Jeffco was the first district to implement the SRP and today it is used by 18,000 schools around the country. All but two Denver metro districts use the SRP. Aurora Public Schools and Littleton Public Schools have their

interruption or distraction.

Lockdown requires locking the classroom door, turning off the lights and placing students out of sight of any corridor windows. Student action during lockdown is to remain quiet.

This would happen when the threat is inside the building.

own protocols.

SRP in practice To make sure that everyone in the school building knows exactly what to do, school districts run drills throughout the school year.

Englewood Schools, for instance, requires drills each month at its two high schools, two middle schools and four elementary schools.

In the fall, the district put its lockout procedure in place when a suspicious package was left outside one of its high schools. During a lockout, the goal is to keep the threat out and safeguard students and staff within the building. It allows for educational practices to continue with little classroom interruption or distraction.

“The lockout made sure everyone was safe and secured everyone indoors while law enforcement made sure the package was not a risk,” said Mandy Braun, director of safety and security for Englewood Schools.

Other examples of why lockouts are implemented include dangerous wildlife in the area, such as the presence of snakes or mountain lions in Douglas County, or local law enforcement activity, such as a suspect on the loose.

In Douglas County, the state patrol recently started participating in the school district’s lockdown drills because troopers may be the first ones to arrive at the school in an active situation.

That kind of collaboration among state and local law enforcement and school districts ensures preparedness and the right — and best — response to keeping students safe, school officials say, in the case the unthinkable happens yet again.

“We have to win this thing called school safety,” McDonald said. “And we better have the relationship in place today because if we don’t, tomorrow is too late.”

“It’s an amazing opportunity for us to train with other school districts,” said Chris Wilderman, director of safe and sustainable environments for Adams 12 Five Star Schools, who trained at the center last summer with other staff from his district. “We talk, collaborate and work with each other because at the end of the day, we want to make sure all of us in the security world are doing what we can to keep kids safe.”

The center was the brainchild of John McDonald, executive director of security and emergency management for Jefferson County Public Schools.

In its first year, 37 agencies and more than 5,000 officers trained at the DeAngelis Center. For McDonald, not only is this a way to share knowledge, but it’s also a way to give back to local law enforcement.

“This is the place where we learn the lessons of the past and we practice new tactics, techniques and strate-

gies,” McDonald said of the center.

“The greatest gift we can give law enforcement is to provide that opportunity to perfect their skill set. On our worst of days, we need law enforcement and schools security to be at their very best.”

Since the center opened, the Jefferson County Sheriff ’s Office has moved all of its tactical training to the facility.

“It’s an incredible training center,” said Cindy Baughman, deputy and sworn training coordinator with the sheriff ’s office. Baughman said the center allows them to train on specific scenarios that improve skills in the field.

The ability for law enforcement and school security to train alongside each other offers the chance to have really hard conversations, change mindsets and add perspective, McDonald said.

“Active-shooter training is really evolving in this community of Denver metro,” McDonald said. “I think because of Arapahoe, Columbine, Deer Creek… everyone understands this is a responsibility and something we need to take ownership of.”

On a secluded 79-acre property in Douglas County there lives a 17-yearold tarantula with a hawk who’s blind in one eye and a vulture that survived being hit by a car.

And two cats who are there for mice control.

The animals’ home, Nature’s Educators, is a nonprofit organization that since 2008 has been sheltering animals, many of which are raptors or birds of prey, that can’t be released into the wild. The organization also conducts educational outreach programs for the public.

Nature’s Educators, which rents a private facility not open to the public from Cherokee Ranch, moved to its Douglas County location in 2015.

“These are birds that have had injuries that can’t be fixed and the rehabbers have deemed them non-releasable but good for education,” said Executive Director Devin Jaffe. “We get birds from all over the nation.”

As of Jan. 17, the nonprofit housed just under 100 animals, including owls, hawks, vultures, centipedes and tarantulas.

Many of the center’s amphibians were seized by animal control, Jaffe said. In some cases, the creatures grew too big to remain house pets and in other cases their owners were moving to a municipality banning their breed.

A typical day at Nature’s Educators starts at 7 a.m., Jaffe said. Workers check on the animals’ health, feed and water them and clean their cages.

“All the animals on site, their enclosures get cleaned every single day,” Jaffe said.

As she spoke, intern-turned-volun-

Helios, a ferruginous hawk, was given to the nonprofit Nature’s Educators and now works as a breed “ambassador,” Executive Director Devin Jaffe said.

Devin Jaffe, director of the nonprofit Nature’s Educators, holds an American kestrel named Ajax. The bird was left blind in one eye following an injury and is now sheltered by the organization.

COURTESY PHOTOS teer Brianna Beattie worked on her hands and knees to clean out a rabbit enclosure. Beattie, a zoo keeping technology major at Pikes Peak Community College in Colorado Springs, said she fell in love with the operation and chose to stay on as a volunteer after her internship ended.

Joshua Peters, the animal care manager for Pikes Peak Community College, said many of their students have benefitted from working with Nature’s Educators, and the school frequently

brings classes to the facility for realworld experience.

He, too, is a former intern of Nature’s Educators who also studied zoo keeping technology at Pikes Peak Community College, where he now works full time.

“It was just a very awesome and diverse experience,” he said. “It’s kind of unique in the aspect that you get to do a lot of hands-on care for the animals at the facility, but then you get to go out into the community and do the

education research.”

When Nature’s Educators conducts its outreach programs, of which they did 756 in 2017, the animals act as “ambassadors for their kind,” Jaffe said.

The center’s three staff members, five interns and more than 40 volunteers travel with the animals to schools, nature centers and libraries to hold educational programs.

“As an organization they are just super-fantastic about getting out and getting people excited about animals and educated about the threats that they are facing,” Peters said.

Jaffe said they teach people things they can do in their daily lives to protect animals. Don’t use rat poison, she said in one example. In another, don’t throw an orange peel out the car window or it could attract animals onto the road where they might get hit.

Overall, the center’s goal is to “provide a happy and healthy environment” for animals who are entering captivity for the first time, and for those who can’t be released into the wild because they were raised in captivity, Jaffe said.

One day she hopes they can open to the public for tours and on-site programming. Until then, organization will continue its outreach programs to educate the public about nature and wildlife.

“We want everybody to come away with some idea of, ‘I can do this to help,’ ” Jaffe said. “And a better appreciation of wildlife and habitats.”

Pinery deer reignite concerns Community concerned about hunting in neighborhood

BY TABATHA STEWART TSTEWART@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Once again, a wounded deer running loose in The Pinery neighborhood has sparked concern with homeowners about the legalities and safety of hunting in the neighborhood.

Neighbors recently reported seeing a deer with an arrow in its side roaming through yards. This isn’t the first time a wounded deer has been spotted in The Pinery, and community members are at odds with how to deal with the wildlife that some consider beautiful and others consider a nuisance.

The Pinery is a community near Highway 83, south of Parker. It lies in unincorporated Douglas County, and some homes include multiple acres of land.

“We have been out to The Pinery on a couple of occasions and haven’t been able to find a wounded deer,” said Matt Martinez, district wildlife manager with Colorado Parks and Wildlife. “The last thing we want is for an animal to suffer.”

According to Martinez, because The Pinery is in unincorporated Douglas County, hunting on private land is legal, as long as the homeowner practices proper safety measures. Unfortunately, deer sometimes are not killed with the first shot of an arrow, and if it flees the property can be difficult to find, he said.

Martinez said there is no Colorado law saying that hunting on private property is always legal. He recommends each homeowner check with their city or county regarding laws on their property. Unincorporated Douglas County does allow hunting on private land as long as the proper licenses are in order.

Town prepares to call special election in at-large mayor issue Council will discuss officially calling a May vote at its February meetings

done, such as deciding when the first at-large mayor will be elected and when redistricting will occur.

Prior to November, the town’s mayor was appointed by the seven-member town council. An at-large mayor is one who’s elected by the town’s registered voters.

The first order of business, town attorney Bob Slentz has said, is cleaning up the charter’s language to reflect the new at-large system. That should be done before the first mayoral election, he said, but any changes to the charter must be approved by the voters.

So, the town is preparing for a special election slated for May 15 asking voters to approve corrections to the charter’s wording.

Town staff will bring ordinances and ballot questions for council to review at its Feb. 6 meeting in order to call the election.

Councilmembers debated Jan. 16

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Castle Rock’s town council knows the town will hold a special election asking voters to approve changes to the town charter, which it says are necessary in order for Castle Rock to move to an at-large mayor system.

What they still don’t know is how much that election will cost or who will run it.

Voters approved implementing an at-large mayor system in November, as well as cutting the number of districts from seven to six. The town is now forming a transition plan to get that

whether to have the town run the special election with Douglas County’s assistance, or ask Denver or Arapahoe counties to take the lead.

Douglas County is unavailable to run the election because it will be installing new software and equipment during that time, town clerk Lisa Anderson said, although the county offered its assistance in manpower if Castle Rock decides to conduct the election itself.

Anderson said Jan. 16 she had inquired with Denver and Arapahoe counties but had not yet received a response. She could not confirm with council if one or both of the counties would be willing to help or how much it would cost for them to do so.

The last time Castle Rock ran its own election was in 2014, when voters approved open carry, and it wasn’t easy going. Results took more than a week to come in and the town faced

lawsuits over the process.

Slentz said the town may be less likely to receive a legal challenge this time around if they have another entity conduct the election — an option several councilmembers at first preferred.

Councilmember George Teal asked if having Castle Rock run the election with Douglas County’s help was still the more efficient and affordable option.

Anderson is continuing to research the issue before council makes an official decision, a town spokeswoman said.

In addition to discussing the May 15 special election, council reviewed recommendations from a citizen committee for how to transition to the at-large system. Council approved forming the citizen committee in December.

The Pinery area is included in the game-management unit, which allows the issuance of several hundred hunting licenses for various hunts, including archery, muzzle-loaders and rifle hunts. The combined hunting seasons run from August to January.

Max Fry, Pinery resident and deer lover, said there is no easy answer to the dilemma of deer in the neighborhood.

Topics of the Feb. 1 event include: identifying theft and keeping finances safe online, social media and the latest apps and devices, emotional intelligence, sexting and sexual exploitation and human trafficking. The evening will begin with a workshop starting at 6 p.m. followed by a presentation at 7 p.m.

said Fry. “Some people wanted to see all the deer killed because they saw them as a nuisance. I love the deer and I love having them around. Just don’t feed them and give them their space.”

Pinery HOA president Bob Husson said the HOA has worked closely with the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office, as well as Colorado Parks and Wildlife, to help residents deal with the issue.

“This isn’t a new issue, but it’s just come up again. This deer could have been shot here, or it could have wandered here from somewhere else,” said Husson. “The sheriff ’s department said they are always looking at things from a safety perspective, and if anyone in The Pinery is concerned about unsafe hunting activity, to call them.”

Skip, skip, skip to the flu, skip to the flu, it’s jarring QUIET DESPERATION

“No, thank you.”

“Do you want to get a flu shot?”

“No, thank you.”

I told my doctor it’s a “minor pleasure” to be ill.

I was being serious (for once).

An occasional illness is a good reminder. It’s a reminder to appreciate how good it feels to feel good.

The flu might be too good of a reminder, however. Somewhere between a cold and the flu is probably enough for most people to appreci“

ate good health.

Everyone I know who has had a flu shot has had the flu, as if the application provides the illness.

I have never had a flu shot, and I have never had the flu. With one exception.

I had hangover flu more times than I can count. I hope those days and nights are over.

The flu has been front page news this year.

It’s a simple, three-letter word that has profound implications.

Certain flu outbreaks, like the

1918-19 influenza pandemic, have been devastating.

More people died from it than died in World War I. It infected more than 500 million people, and resulted in the deaths of 50-100 million people.

The site of the first outbreak was next door, in Kansas, at Fort Riley. Private Albert Gitchell, a mess cook, got the ball rolling.

The flu spread. Eventually it spread to Europe, and was named “Spanish Influenza,” or “Spanish Flu,” even though it had origi-

nated in Kansas.

My friend Ruth, who was alive in 1918-19, got a flu shot every year.

The irony is that she wanted to go, as it were.

Then why have a flu shot, I asked her.

“I don’t want to go like that.”

Instead of a flu shot, my doctor gave me a pneumonia shot. He called it “Pneumonia 23.”

Later in the day, I felt exactly like I had the flu, and stayed in SEE SMITH, P15

He shared that for WINNING the past few years he picks WORDS just one word and focuses on that word throughout the year. I will share his one word with you later in this column. Trust me, it’s worth Michael Norton the wait.

To add a little more value, I thought I would ask four other friends of mine and business leaders whom I respect and admire and who have served as mentors to me over the years what their own “one word” might be.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR A crucial decision looms As we approach the Jan. 25 deadline for the community survey on what we want in our next schools superintendent, it is vital Douglas County hires the right person for what is one of the most influential roles in the lives and futures of thousands of residents.

Parents in this district have long been ignored and manipulated by a board majority and superintendent bent on pursuing an ideological agenda that resulted in a large number of high-quality educators leaving, and in destroying a healthy culture and long track record of achievement.

Capital needs have been neglected as this group pushed for more charter schools and online schools, along with vouchers for private schools, to the detriment of community-centered neighborhood schools.

This attempt at paving the way to privatization will take years to fix. A new superintendent must be committed to not only restoring what has been lost and damaged, but building a strong and highdemand district that values educators and puts children’s needs first always.

Choosing, and realizing we have the power of choice and the ability to choose, is something that needs to be exercised and practiced.”

David Mattson, chief executive officer at Sandler Training, chose “behavior” as his “one word.” Teaching the importance of behaviors is a core element of Sandler’s training as they really focus on behavior, attitude and technique. When I asked David why he chose “behavior,” he said this, “Without behavior nothing happens. We can dream, and we can practice, but until we act or behave, nothing actually happens. We all know people who are always getting ready to get ready, but who never really take action. If we become a behaviorist and do what it takes to succeed, then success happens.”

Karl Watson, chief operating officer at Summit Materials, chose another word that I love, “persevere.” Having known Karl for several years now, I can tell you that he is a guy who knows what it means to “persevere.”

Water agency ready with plans in case of drought

re we seeing a harbinger of the future? From Telluride to the Eastern Plains, communities across Colorado are experiencing an unusually dry winter, the likes of which have not been seen since 2002.

Statewide, we GUEST have now seen COLUMN about three-quarters of the snowfall we typically see this far into the season.

In the mountains, some ranges are seeing as little as 33 percent of average snowfall.

Meanwhile, Denver has seen a recordLisa Darling breaking number of days without measurable snow.

So, it is natural to be nervously asking: Are we headed into our next drought?

The short answer is we don’t know and won’t for weeks or perhaps months to come. The key will be how much snowpack we have in early April and how fast it melts.

Wellness is, well, the best. Better than a cruise. Half the time (it seems) people on cruises come down with something. A big ship, packed with strangers, and bottomless shrimp appetizers, is not the place I would want to be if I came down with the flu.

But know this: Members of the South Metro Water Supply Authority who provide water to communities throughout the south metro area are prepared for whatever the weather may bring.

A critical part of being prepared is storage. We must be able to store water from the spring snowmelt so it is available when we need it in the summer and fall, especially when the snow melts faster because of rapidly warming temperatures.

That is why successful projects like Parker Water’s Rueter-Hess Reservoir in Douglas County are so important.

Parker’s partners in this project include Castle Rock, Castle Pines North and Stonegate Village, and together they can store up to 75,000 acre-feet of available water supplies. (To picture an acre-foot of water, imagine a football field filled one foot deep.)

Another important storage project is the Chatfield Reservoir Reallocation. Three south metro communities — Centennial Water and Sanitation District (serving Highlands Ranch), Castle Pines North and Castle Rock — have joined with other state and regional water providers and agencies why a dog is the comparison. Maybe because horses can’t vomit.

“Sick as a parrot” turned up in the 1970s.

At this moment, as of this writing, I feel good. I am thankful for it. But there are others within the sound of this article who are under the weather. And it may be far more than the flu.

A man walks into a pharmacy and asks the pharmacist, “Do you have any acetylsalicylic acid?”

to reallocate existing storage in this flood-control reservoir so it can be used to store municipal and environmental supplies.

South metro communities are also taking an innovative approach to storage by injecting water back into the underground aquifer that for years provided much of the water supply for the region.

This method, known as Aquifer Storage and Recovery or ASR, is something Centennial Water & Sanitation District has been operating successfully for many years. Other members of the South Metro Water Supply Authority, such as Meridian and Rangeview, are permitting ASR projects, while others are developing pilot ASR projects.

Along with new storage projects, south metro communities are also working together to bring new water supplies to the region. One of the best examples is the Water Infrastructure

Another cooperative water supply project is the Northern Project, a collaboration between East Cherry Creek Valley and Arapahoe County Water and Wastewater District, which delivers new renewable water supplies to the region and continues to reduce dependency on nonrenewable groundwater.

The romantic habits of rattlesnakes and dinosaurs

Metro area offers recording options Bands, advertisers and more tap into sound design

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Working in a recording studio is all about capturing sound in the best and highest quality possible. So, it’s no surprise that the best way for engineers and producers to first get to know from perspective clients isn’t by email or text — they prefer a simple phone call or sit-down.

“It’s all about that initial conversation, which allows me to really

find out what a person wants to do,” explained Chris McNaughton, owner of Rocky Mountain Recorders studios in Denver.

“To get it right in the studio, it’s all about connecting with the musician, and a conversation is so much better for that than anything else” agreed Pete DeBoer, owner of Lakewood’s World Famous Studios.

The music scene in Denver has been growing steadily with the population boom the state is experiencing, which means more local bands are looking for places to play, and studios to record in.

SEE RECORDING, P17

QUESTIONS TO ASK WHEN CONSIDERING A STUDIO • Are you prepared to go into the studio?

Is the music you’re looking to record fully written, arranged, and ready to be recorded?

• How is the studio space rented? Hourly or by blocks of time?

• What gear is available to use, and what gear/instruments would need to be brought in?

• Will you need assistance with mixing, mastering and production, or just one or two of these skills?

• What questions and assistance will you need from the producer or sound engineer you work with?

Training the next generation of studio wizards For years, the motto of Greg Kimble has been a simple one — keep music going.

So, when he and some friends started discussing their experiences at different sound engineering and music schools, and decided to start the kind of place they wish they had attended, the name was obvious — Keep Music Going, or KMGLife.

“Life is made up of two things — things you have to do, and things you get to do,” Kimble said. “Music is all about creativity and passion, and they’re things that people who come here get to do.”

Located at 3063 Sterling Circle, No. 5, in Boulder, KMGLife is home to

25,000 square feet of studios, which can be rented for recording but are primarily used by the about 200 studios enrolled in the KMGLife’s Ableton Music Production and Recording Arts and Business programs.

Ableton is a music production program, and KMGLife is one of only 16 Ableton Certified Training Centers in the country.

“Everything we teach here is hands on, with the latest studio technologies,” said Mitch Zonnefeld, executive vice present of the school.

“We teach everything students could want, from production and mixing, to live sound engineering, Automatic Dialogue Replacement

(ADR), studio etiquette and more.”

Depending on which program a student selects, they can complete the course at four to eight hours a week, for six to nine months. The main aim of the program is to train students in all aspects of the recording industry, and allow them to unleash their creativity — they can use studios at a cheaper rate, work on their own recording, and there are even extracurriculars like a live venue for concerts, and a DJ club.

“For me, the thing I’m looking for in students is a good attitude, and creativity,” Kimble said. “It’s a joy to be here and change the lives of students who come here.”

hen it comes to Valentine’s Day, some date ideas have been done to death — fancy dinner, movie for two, going out dancing. While all fun, none of these are particularly unique.

Fortunately, Dinosaur Ridge has those looking for something a little different with Sex, Science and Saurians: A Dinosaur Ridge Valentine’s Celebration.

“We wanted to try COMING an event that would ATTRACTIONS be just for adults, 21 years old and older,” explained Erin LaCount, education programs coordinator with Dinosaur Ridge. “We know plenty of adults are very interested in getting back into dinosaurs and science, Clarke Reader and we thought this would be a fun way to do so.”

The event goes from 7-10 p.m. Feb. 10 at the American Mountaineering Museum, 710 10th St., Golden. In addition to drinks and a chocolate fountain, ticketholders will also have a seat to two scientific, scintillating and hilarious presentations — “Salacious in the Cretaceous,” an examination on how dinosaurs had sex from LaCount, and “Sex, Lies and Rattlesnakes,” from Mary Ann Bonnell, visitor services manager with Jefferson County Open Space.

“I’m known as the area rattlesnake sexpert,” Bonnell said with a laugh. “Between Erin and I, we cover ancient and past animals that so interest people.”

Both Bonnell and LaCount have developed their presentations based on research, and have honed them to be funny, informative, and a little bit naughty. Where the science is unknown, there will be good caveats and logical scientific connections.

“Since this is an adult-only event, I’ve developed a presentation that uses some pretty hilarious language and approaches,” LaCount said. “For me, it’s all about making people laugh with some interesting facts.”

This is the first attempt at an event like this for Dinosaur Ridge, but if the event goes well, they could become a more regular experience.

“It’s a chance to celebrate the ridge, past and present,” said Bonnell. “This is just a great date night, that most people wouldn’t think about.”

RECORDING FROM PAGE 16

And thanks to technological advancements, there are more options than ever for budding recording artists.

There are home-based studios that offer a DIY vibe to musicians looking for that raw, warm feeling to their music.

“I had a space for recording set up as Studio 204, but I decided I didn’t need to spend money on rent when I could do it in my place,” said Chase Demos, who now works with rock and punk bands in his home studio. “I use analog equipment for the recordings I do. I like to keep it bare bones, and for me, it’s not about the money — it’s about making great music.”

World Famous is also based out of a home, and DeBoer said the space fits for everything from hip-hop and rock

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — The Secret Sisters at Swallow Hill The first time I saw Laura and Lydia Rogers, who record and perform as The Secret Sisters, they absolutely blew me away with their intertwining vocal harmonies, particularly on a cover they did of Sam Cooke’s “Cupid.”

The pair perform the kind of warm, welcoming folk music that is the perfect pair for a cold winter evening, and that makes The Secret Sisters the perfect performers for Swallow Hill’s Daniels Hall, 71 E. Yale Ave. in Denver at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 25.

The duo’s most recent album, “You Don’t Own Me Anymore,” is made up of songs about surviving tough times, inspired by the sisters being dropped by their label in 2015. Before making this album, they almost gave up music all together, but inspired by friend and producer Brandi Carlile, they decided to give it another go. That strength shines through in every note.

Go to www.swallowhillmusic.org.

The Evil Dead return to Denver In 2013, the Equinox Theatre Company hosted a production of “Evil Dead: The Musical” that went on to sell out a packed four-week run. Demand was so high that in 2015, the theater hosted a sixweek run that also did extremely well.

to death metal and singer-songwriter.

“I started in the rock world, and originally wanted to be a live sound engineer.

All of this gave me an understanding of how instruments should sound together” he said. “I prefer analog equipment because I like the way the work flows, and the limits it places on the process.”

Musicians looking for a more professional recording experience have options of studios with the latest and greatest tech, like Rocky Mountain Recorders, CCM Recording Studios on East Colfax, and KMGLife in Boulder.

“We have three engineers who each have their own skill set to offer clients,” said Darren Skonson, owner of CCM. “We have experts in hip-hop and beatmaking for rappers looking for those services, and have hosted Bone Thugs-n-Harmony and Wacka Flocka.”

Rocky Mountain Recorders has three top-of-the-line studios for its customers for everything from single vocals to

bands and even orchestral work.

“We’re pretty easy-going here, but we can really do anything a client needs,” McNaughton said. “For us, it’s about getting the best possible recording.”

Most studios are booked by the hour, but some offer discounts for long blocks of time, or rent space for full or half days. One problem many who work in recording studios say they frequently see is musicians or bands who aren’t ready when they come to the studio, which is why that connection between engineers and talent is so important.

And as the people who work in the front lines with the area’s musicians can say, there are more and more talented people to work with.

“We’re right on the precipice of having the next big thing coming from the Denver area,” Skonson said. “It’s amazing to see the growth in Denver’s music scene as it’s happening.”

“Evil Dead: The Musical” has shambled back to life and is lurching its way to The Bug Theatre, 3654 Navajo St. in Denver, from Jan. 26 through Feb. 17. Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the door. For gore enthusiasts, there are also Splatter Zone seats available in advance only for $25.

The initial run won the Broadway World award for Best Comedic Musical, and is based on director Sam Raimi’s campy horror film series. A group of friends head out to the woods for a vacation that soon turns bloody when demons get involved. Some of the musical numbers include “All the Men in my Life Keep Getting Killed by Candarian Demons,” “Look Who’s Evil Now” and “Do the Necronomicon.”

Crowd turns out in support of fallen deputy Restaurant-brewery raises money for Parrish family

“This right here — the community,” Layman said of what has helped him most in the incident’s aftermath. “The outpouring of support in this community has been monumental.”

Layman, who lives in Parker, hadn’t been to Rock Bottom before the event, but the full room was one more show of support that’s impressed him in the south metro area.

“The human element of this is amazing,” one man at a nearby table said to Layman, shaking his hand.

By chance, Layman met Steven Barry, assistant general manager for Rock Bottom, near Christmas at a restaurant in Parker. Barry’s young son was excited to meet a police officer, and Layman showed him his vehicle.

Douglas County deputies carry “comfort bears” in their patrol cars, Layman said, and he promised the son a police bear for Christmas. Layman dropped it off at his house.

Booths, tables and bar seats held a full crowd at Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery, where a fundraiser for fallen Douglas County Sheriff ’s Deputy Zackari Parrish brought just about double the normal amount of business to the restaurant Jan. 17.

Deputy Joseph Layman, one of the officers at the Highlands Ranch apartment during the incident in which Parrish, 29, was killed in an ambushstyle shooting Dec. 31., gathered at Rock Bottom in Centennial with a large group of friends for the event.

Layman knew Parrish since last spring, he said.

Quality Education Meets Quality Life In Kearney, Nebraska Kearney, NE - Students who choose the University of Nebraska at Kearney are typically looking for something a little different in their college experience. Lopers are wanting to find their own way. Each year, more than 6,500 students discover what they’re looking for in the city affectionately known as “K-Town.”

One visit to Kearney can be eyeopening for students and their families. With a growing population of just over 30,000 it’s easy to see the progress throughout the community. New buildings, businesses, parks and trails, and homes and apartments are popping up across the city. Restaurants like Chickfil-A, Raising Cane’s, Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks and Buffalo Wild Wings are bringing their business to Kearney because they see opportunity. They’re not the only ones.

Venture away from Kearney’s main stretch of business and you’ll find the beautiful spaces one expects among the central plains of Nebraska. There’s room to roam, explore and play in Kearney.

With more than 20 miles of hike and bike trails, canals for kayaking and 14 parks covering 438 acres – many with lake-front recreation space - Kearney can be the ideal place for relaxation and physical fitness.

In the middle of it all sits the serene campus of UNK. Students report UNK to be a place that feels like home… with a lot more going on. More than 80 percent of Lopers are active on campus through organizations and communityservice projects. It follows the university’s model of creating experiences and hands-on learning opportunities, because true understanding happens through active, engaged learning – often outside of the classroom.

The future is bright for both Kearney and UNK. The relationship between the community and university gets stronger each year. Businesses interact with students, providing further opportunities for shared success through internship programs and part-time work. City and university people work together on projects like “University Village,” a new 100-acre campus combining UNK academic and housing facilities with private businesses like shops and restaurants.

Kearney offers small-town charm with big city opportunities. For many, it’s the best of both worlds. If you’re someone looking for a quality University of Nebraska degree, without the crowds and traffic, make sure you visit K-Town. You might be surprised by what you discover.

Traditional college not always best option for high-schoolers THELMA GRIMES/CCM

T

raditionally, when high school seniors prepare for the future, they talk about going to college, attending a 4-year university and getting a degree. However, there is a growing number of students where the traditional, socially-accepted option isn’t a good fit.

As the cost to obtain a 4-year degree continues to increase, students and parents are considering alternatives, especially as trade school, or vocational school, options have evolved over the last decade. At one time, trade school was mainly for future mechanics or cosmeticians. Now, trade schools cover a broad range of professions, including electricians, nursing, welding, medical assistants, massage therapy, computer networking, culinary (chef and head cooks) and heating, air conditioning and refrigeration mechanics and installers (HVAC).

These professions earn a good salary. In fact, Wendy Strait, lead counselor for Mountain Vista High School in Douglas County, joked that some of the trade school careers pay better than what she’s making with a bachelor’s degree.

According to the U.S. Department of Labor Statistics, electricians make more than $50,000 a year, nurses make well over $60,000 and computer networking can make upwards of $80,000.

These career fields can all be possible through trade schools or programs deemed less expensive than a traditional 4-year college.

According to collegedata.com, getting a college education from a private school can cost up to $34,740 a year, in-state college tuition is estimated at $9,970, and out-of-state tuition is $25,620 per year.

However, even with the increasing cost of getting a 4-year degree, the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that 69.7 percent of graduating high school seniors still enroll in a college or university, leaving just over 30 percent looking at other options.

Local high school counselors say as options post-high school have evolved, their approach to helping seniors plan for the future has become a lot more individualized. Programs in middle school and high school are also being created to give students the opportunity to try their hand at multiple trades.

“There is no definitive prescriptive way to counsel students. Sometimes you have to go through options and talk about what is available beyond traditional college,” Strait said.

Sandra Steiner, Director of Postsecondary readiness with Westminster Public Schools, said the entire school district has a duty to support students in finding careers that enable them to earn a household living wage whether it be through college, the military or a trade school program that can start as

Trade and vocation schools used to be primarily for mechanics and cosmetology. Today, vocational studies stretch from electronics to medical fields and nursing, such as those provided for students attending Westminster Public Schools.

early as middle school.

“Statistically speaking, the majority of these opportunities will require some post-secondary credential, but not necessarily completion of a college degree,” she said. “If a student begins to prepare early, many credentials can be earned before a student graduates from high school. Our work with students starts in sixth grade and is focused on career exploration and investigation first.”

Strait said on a national level, most schools are playing catch up when it comes to providing vocational programs and giving students the opportunity to experience career fields that are about “hands-on” work such as farming and agriculture and mechanics.

“Over the years, we have oversold college as being the only way,” Strait said. “Schools started abandoning the trade programs, taking away funding and it’s become a problem. We lost programs like auto shop and welding.

Now, we are realizing it was a mistake and working to make it right. The problem there is it does cost a lot of money.”

This means not only bringing back trade classes, but also forming partnerships in the community. Strait said Douglas County Schools has formed partnerships with local businesses that give jobs to students in a variety of trades.

This also means participating in programs such as the state’s Colorado for Career and Technical Education Programs (CTE), which provides 43 percent of Colorado high school students with trade and vocational

ith U.S. graduation rates being at an all-time high, one might expect employers to have a wealth of qualified candidates to hire. Instead, many employers are finding that these recent graduates are unprepared to succeed in the workforce.

While many are graduating with technical skills, their “soft skills” are lacking. These skills — from professional communication and critical thinking to collaboration and time management — are seen as critical by employers, yet have not historically been taught with consistency or prioritized.

A recent whitepaper commissioned by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation and AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination), an education nonprofit that equips students with the necessary soft skills needed to be successful in college and their careers, highlights recent partnerships between the business and education sectors to tackle this skills gap.

Paving the way to college:

things

parents need to know

Senior year: It’s a time to finish college applications, solidify friendships and look forward to the freedom and the responsibility that come once that final bell rings. A lot of feelings surface during that final year, especially for parents.

While your son or daughter might be overjoyed to finally fly the coop and live independently, you’ll probably be dealing with your own mix of emotions, and you’ll want to be sure they’re ready to begin college in the fall.

For families with a child headed to college, senior year is best thought of as a transition year.

Plan ahead to make sure your family stays on track.

To help you and your child with a successful transition, here’s the essential list of landmarks on the road that will take your child from a senior in high school to a freshman in college.

1. Apply yourself in the fall The journey to college begins early, and by the fall of senior year in high school, your child should be in full transition mode.

They should be finishing campus visits and finalizing the list of colleges where they want to apply. Make sure they’ve spoken with admission counselors, thoroughly researched schools they’re interested in and have everything they need to complete their college applications.

Keep tabs on important deadlines and stay organized to avoid missing any critical due dates. For example, will they want to apply early decision or early action?

If so, make sure you have weighed how this could impact your financial plan for college.

2. Focus on financial aid from the start For many parents, one of the biggest anxieties around college is the cost.

Don’t forget that the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) opens on Oct. 1, and some aid is awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. Make sure you submit the form as soon as it’s available.

Because everyone has different needs, figuring out how to finance your child’s education requires some research.

At College Ave Student Loans, you can find private loan options for parents and students.

Even if you’re not ready to take a loan out yet, parents and students can try out the fast and easy pre-qualification tools to find out if their credit pre-qualifies for a loan, and what interest rates they could expect, all without impacting their credit scores.

Calculators are also available to help you explore your options and see how you can customize the loan payments to fit your budget.

5 TIPS FOR FINDING COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIPS College is a significant investment and millions of families each year face the question of how to pay for it. One way students can position themselves for success is by seeking out various forms of financial assistance.

Earning scholarships can be one way to offset the financial burden, but winning a scholarship can sometimes be as competitive as gaining admission to the college of your choice.

Some scholarships can be earned by meeting or exceeding certain standards, such as academic performance, while other scholarships are based on financial need or personal interests of the applicant. There’s also a wealth of opportunities that support students in specific areas, whether it be from companies, professional organizations or foundations. For example, the America’s Farmers Grow Ag Leaders program offers industry-specific scholarships each year for those looking to study agriculture-related fields.

While your academic performance, character and extracurricular resume all play a part, knowing where to look for scholarships can make all the difference when it comes time to pay for your education. These tips can help you identify and apply for scholarships that match your interests and credentials.

1. Complete the FAFSA Completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) may be required to apply for a number of scholarships, particularly scholarships offered by most colleges and universities based on need. It is also required for other forms of financial aid, such as subsidized or unsubsidized loans. While you can begin filling out the FAFSA on Oct. 1 of the year prior to needing aid, many scholarships give priority to students who complete the FAFSA by their state’s application deadline. It is important to note that some colleges and universities have earlier deadlines.

2. Talk to Your Counselor Colleges or universities and scholarship providers often supply information about their award offerings and applications to high school counselors. Many institutions also offer specific awards by major for both new and returning

3. Spring time is decision time Early in the spring, your child will start to receive their first acceptance letters. Once they’ve heard from all of the schools where they applied, they’ll have a big decision to make.

They need to do more than just decide which school to attend; they’ll also need to send in a deposit, complete their housing form and accept financial aid packages.

students that can be applied for through the school’s financial aid office.

3. Apply for Scholarships in Your Field of Interest Many job sectors have scholarship opportunities available through related clubs, organizations, small businesses and other benefactors.

For example, the America’s Farmers Grow Ag Leaders program, sponsored by the Monsanto Fund in conjunction with the FFA, provides $1,500 scholarships to students endorsed by local farmers for continuing their education at two- or four-year universities and trade schools in agriculture-related fields of study. This year, the program will award more than $500,000 in scholarships to students in fields such as mathematics, computer science, business, communications, engineering, farming, agronomy, education and more. Students can learn more about the program by visiting Grow AgLeaders.com.

4. Don’t Overlook Smaller Award Amounts When it comes to paying for your education, every scholarship you receive — even those that come with smaller, one-time award amounts — can help defray the costs beyond tuition for books, supplies and living expenses.

Many times, scholarships with smaller award amounts have fewer additional requirements that must be satisfied outside of materials traditionally required for submission such as transcripts, letters of reference and an application.

5. Use a Scholarship Search Engine While a simple search for “college scholarships” on any search engine is likely to elicit plenty of options, there are sites available that are dedicated to helping students identify college scholarship opportunities. While paid options exist, there are also several free sites, such as Scholarships.com, Fastweb and Scholarship America, that can provide local, regional and national options based on the information you provide. Other, more industry-specific websites, such as FFA.org, can provide scholarship opportunities that pertain to a certain field of interest.

— Source: Family Features

A crucial step in this process is comparing award letters from the colleges where your child has been accepted. In reading these letters, pay close attention to how schools list the total costs.

For instance, some schools will subtract the awarded loan amount from the total cost of attendance, while others will not. This could make the net cost of some schools appear less than

Colorado Women’s Education Foundation https://cwef.org/scholarships/scholarshipresources/ others when in reality they are not, so take your time reading the documents.

4. Tie up everything in the summer Before they head to campus, you and your children should create a budget to keep tabs on college bills. This will help you to stay on track financially and set the right expectations about how they need to manage their money.

You can help your soon-to-be freshman by working with them to outline a monthly budget that will take into account expected and unexpected expenses.

Take a look at their financial aid packages and any income they might be earning and block out the monthly mandatory expenses. Then decide how much money they can spend on things like entertainment.

If you find that scholarships, grants and federal aid don’t cover everything, private loans could be one solution for some college-bound students.

For parents and students, senior year is an exciting period. Knowing what steps to take and staying ahead of financial matters with useful tools like the ones at College Ave Student Loans can help make the transition easier for everyone.

tips for working adults returning to college Most working professionals want to advance their skills, land that promotion and get a raise. However, some 36 million adults face a significant barrier to achieving their goals and aspirations: They still need to complete a significant amount of coursework in order to earn a college degree.

While many of these adults have completed at least some higher education classes, the demands of family life and maintaining a career, along with a lack of financial resources, can both be forces that derail these plans.

Fortunately, the pathways to earning a college degree are evolving, which means a working professional now has more affordable and efficient means to finish the coursework. With a smart strategy, a busy working professional can make that dream of earning a diploma into a reality.

1. Define your goals Some people know exactly what they want from life and how a college degree will help them fulfill their goals. Others may have more general ambitions related to finishing the degree, but they may need to take time to create a more detailed plan. In either case, before choosing a higher education program, it’s important to take time to inventory skills and career experiences.

The insights from this exercise can be helpful in charting your course to earning that diploma.

2. Consider your time and explore your financial options For a working adult, using traditional means to earn a degree isn’t always best-suited to the realities of life - not to mention finances. With the demands of family and work encroaching on study and class time, fitting it all in can seem overwhelming.

It’s important to take time to research your options, because there may be more flexible and affordable paths to choose from.

One great example is a new program from Kaplan University called ExcelTrack. Students begin with an assessment, which measures what they already know and advises a course of study.

Even better, the coursework allows them to focus on what they need to master, not what they already know.

They then work through the courses online — which entails participating in seminars, doing practice activities, completing projects that demonstrate what they know and can do — all while taking as much or as little time as they need.

For people who are able to move at a faster pace, the option can be more affordable than the traditional route because they can pay a flat fee for 6 weeks (graduate level) or 10 weeks (undergraduate level), enabling them to take and complete as many courses as they can handle. This makes earning a degree from an accredited university much more affordable and flexible.

Twenty-seven is becoming the new 18 as colleges and universities are seeing an increase in adult enrollment each year.

sure and stick to your study routine.

Before long, your mind will anticipate and expect a study session at certain times of day, which makes it easier to get focused.

4. Get support With the demands of school and work, now is an appropriate time to seek help from family and friends.

Talk to your partner, parents or siblings about taking on child care duties a few days or evenings a week so you can work without interruption. This is an opportune time to give older kids additional responsibilities, such as folding their laundry, starting dinner and packing their own lunches.

Beyond that, consider informing your employer about your college courses and your goals. If your degree is relevant to other work at the company, you might discover they are willing to help. After all, they already have an employee who knows the business, and they will more than likely appreciate your ambition.

Whether its to finish a degree, change careers are explore a new hobby and learn a new skill, adults take time to transition into college mode.

BPT PHOTO 3. Get organized Working toward a degree can be an intense experience for anyone, which is why it’s important to create the right environment to focus and study. Start by setting up a study station. Ideally, this is a desk or table that’s clean, welllit and organized with plenty of supplies on hand, and a comfortable chair.

Begin by holding study sessions at different times of the day, while paying attention to energy and productivity levels. Many do their best when they rise an hour or two before their families do, while others come alive in the evening hours. Studying online offers this kind of flexibility so whatever time of day works for you, be

5. Keep it in balance When life gets this hectic, especially when it’s consumed with family, work and school, it’s easy to burn the candle at both ends, leaving you feeling overextended and burned out. This is why it’s important to schedule some down time. Having a break to look forward to can be a powerful motivational tool.

Maybe it’s a weekly bike ride, or relaxing with a favorite movie. Whatever it is, don’t feel guilty about taking this time for yourself.

High-paying jobs still available in the agriculture industry As the farming industry faces growing consolidation in the U.S., one might get the impression fewer jobs are now available in agriculture.

In fact, just the opposite is true. Today, one in three people worldwide — more than a billion employees — work in an ag-related industry.

Industry growth and digital innovation combined with retirements are driving significant demand for college grads and other professionals, including those without experience in typical ag-related subjects, and many feature excellent salaries. The USDA and Purdue University predict 57,900 jobs requiring ag skills will become available each year between now and 2020 while only 35,000 grads in food, ag, renewable resources or environment studies will look to fill those jobs each year. Further, the average starting salary in the U.S. for those graduating with bachelor’s degrees in agriculture or natural resources was a healthy $54,364 as of winter 2017, a 12 percent increase from 2016.

“People are starting to discover (agriculture) is a pretty good industry to be in,” Iowa State College Career Services Director Mike Gaul recently told CNBC. “They realize this sector isn’t our traditional what-we-joke ‘cows, plows and sows’ industry anymore.

It’s incredibly diverse.”

The expectation is that grads with expertise in food, agriculture, renewable natural resources and/or the environment will fill 61 percent of all ag-related openings, while employers must seek grads in other majors to fill the 39 percent gap. Notably, women already make up more than half of the higher-ed grads in food, agricul-

HELPS FAMILIES CELEBRATE THE HOLIDAYS While the holidays mean a time of rest for many, that is certainly not the case for Developmental Pathways staff. Each year, employees are bustling to ensure that every family they serve is taken care of through the holidays. Thanks to the help of Brewability Lab in Denver and Operation Santa Clause, food baskets were delivered to families in need. Generous volunteers and donors ensured that all children served by Developmental Pathways received a holiday gift – more than 650 gifts were delivered. Finally, Developmental Pathways hosted a very special Sweets with Santa event – a private, sensory friendly visit with Santa for 138 people. Developmental Pathways would like to thank their staff, volunteers, and donors for bringing joy to families caring for a loved one with a developmental disability or delay.

ing about what those three were going through, right after Christmas. It was heartbreaking.”

Maria and Wayne Gordon, who have been coming to Rock Bottom since the late 1990s, live in Highlands Ranch and heard about the event.

“It’s really heartening to see people get behind officers, instead of what’s been happening for the last five or six years,” Wayne Gordon, 53, said.

Rock Bottom named a sour craft beer ZPIII Sour in honor of Parrish and pledged to donate 25 cents from

olorado high school football’s coaching carousel is slowing down but there are still some turns remaining.

John Trahan has moved from Smoky Hill to coach at Highlands Ranch, former Arapahoe coach Mike Campbell is the OVERTIME new football boss at Englewood and Dustin Delaney from Shawnee Mission, Kansas has been hired at Eaglecrest.

So as of Jan. 19 there were just five Class 5A jobs to be filled at Valor Jim Benton Christian, Arapahoe, Mullen, Castle View and Smoky Hill.

Rod Sherman, the former coach of the state’s most prominent football program at Valor Christian, is still available.

Valor revealed on Dec. 22 in an email that Sherman was stepping down.

Sherman was the Eagles’ first athletic when the school opened in 2007 and he was an assistant football coach and offensive coordinator during a string of four straight state championships between 2009 and 2012.

He became head coach in 2013 and guided the Eagles to three state championships and became the school’s director of institutional advancement in 2015. He compiled a 57-11 record as a head coach.

After the announcement, Sherman left town to coach in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl in San Antonio and had a chance to mull over his future.

“As far as networking with coaches, the game came at a good time for me,” said Sherman. “It was nice that I had my wife come down, and in the midst of a pretty hectic couple weeks we got the opportunity to sit and think about what is next for us.

“I’m going down the path now to stick with football. I’m looking. It is an interesting time in my life and we didn’t necessarily see it coming.”

Sherman, like a good football coach, is making adjustments in his game plan.

“There are a couple in-state schools I’m looking at and as well as some out of state,” said Sherman. “Most people thought: `If he is stepping down, he knows what is next.’ I didn’t want to SEE BENTON, P47

Missy Franklin makes a major lane change

BY BETH HARRIS ASSOCIATED PRESS

Missy Franklin has gone to the dogs, as in the Georgia Bulldogs.

The five-time Olympic gold medalist has relocated to Athens, Georgia, where she is pursuing a psychology degree and mounting a comeback in the pool.

Starting the new year with a cross-country move from northern California, where she was attending Franklin the University of California in Berkeley, was a huge decision for Franklin, who grew up in Centennial.

Although she was happy training under Cal men’s coach Dave Durden, Franklin, 22, longed for the support her extended family in Georgia could provide and the chance to be around a women’s and men’s team run by one coach.

Finally, she decided, it was time to do what was best for her.

“I really struggled with that for a while because I looked at it from a selfish perspective,’’ she told The Associated Press. “It really isn’t a selfish decision. I started thinking about the road I have ahead of me. I started looking at options, which is really big for me.’’

That road includes the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Another chance on her sport’s biggest stage would be redemptive for Franklin. She had a puzzling clunker of a showing at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games after barely making the U.S. team, a memory she’s eager to replace.

Franklin washed out in her individual events and earned gold for a morning preliminary swim on a relay.

It was a stunning result for the bubbly teenager who won four golds and a bronze swimming in seven events in London in 2012.

A couple months before Rio, Franklin was diagnosed with depression and anxiety. She kept it all to herself, though, and publicly smiled through the difficulties she endured at the games.

Even while mired in her woes, Franklin noticed a change in Michael Phelps. Her teammate was visibly different from the previous four years, smiling and happy and enjoying the sport.

She knew she wanted that for herself again.

Last year, Franklin underwent a pair of shoulder surgeries that kept her out of the pool. She missed the U.S. nationals and world championships in Hungary, leaving her plenty of time to reconsider her priorities and focus.

When she was considering colleges after her breakout four golds performance at the 2012 London Olympics, Georgia was runner-up to Cal. Now, it’s her first choice.

The move has reunited Franklin with Bulldogs coach Jack Bauerle, who coached her when she made her first national team at age 13. He kept in touch even after Franklin settled on the West Coast.

“I’ve always adored him,’’ she said.

If you believe that your lender or servicer has failed to provide a single point of contact (38-38-103.1 CRS) or they are still pursuing foreclosure even though you have submitted a completed loss mitigation application or you have been offered and have accepted a loss mitigation option (38-38-103.2 CRS), you may file a complaint with the Colorado Attorney General (720-508-6006) or the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (855411-2372) or both.

Robert P. Baker and Paige M. Baker, a married couple, and Does 1 through 10, inclusive, Defendants.

Case Number: 2027255 FACTUAL DECLARATION OF PLAINTIFF KELEI CASPERSEN IN SUPPORT OF EX PARTE APPLICATION I, KELEI CASPERSEN, declare as follows: 1. I am the Plaintiff in this action, and the Petitioner for relief in the ex-parte application.

2. I live in Turlock, California.

3. Robert P. Baker and his wife, Paige M. Baker (hereinafter, “Defendants”), failed to return down payments made in a purchase agreement with myself regarding real property located at 1725 Carleton Drive, Turlock, California, 95382, (hereinafter, “Property”), as required by the agreement.

4. On or about July 3, 2013, Plaintiff and Defendants entered into a “Residential Lease or Month-to-Month Rental Agreement” (hereinafter, “Lease”) concerning Property. The parties also, in conjunction with the Lease, entered into other agreements memorialized by a standard California Association of Realtors Option Agreement (hereinafter, “Option Agreement”), a California Residential Purchase Agreement, and Joint Escrow Instructions (hereinafter, “Purchase Agreement”). The Option Agreement called for a down payment of $50,000.00, referred to in the Purchase Agreement as “Option Money.” Plaintiff paid that amount to Defendants on July 15, 2013. The Lease Agreement called for monthly rental payments of $2,300.00 per month, of which $300.00 per month would be added to the

“Lease”) concerning Property. The parties also, in conjunction with the Lease, entered into other agreements memorialized by a standard California Association of Realtors Option Agreement (hereinafter, “Option Agreement”), a California Residential Purchase Agreement, and Joint Escrow Instructions (hereinafter, “Purchase Agreement”). The Option Agreement called for a down payment of $50,000.00, referred to in the Purchase Agreement as “Option Money.” Plaintiff paid that amount to Defendants on July 15, 2013. The Lease Agreement called for monthly rental payments of $2,300.00 per month, of which $300.00 per month would be added to the down payment. To date, Plaintiff have paid a total down payment of $52,325.00.

5. On or about March 1, 2014, the parties modified their agreement to cancel the purchase of the Property by Plaintiff to allow Defendants to sell the Property to another party. The Memorandum to the Option Agreement and Addendum to the Option Agreement (hereinafter, “Modification”), called for the down payment money paid by Plaintiff to be refunded from the proceeds of the sale of Property from escrow, and with any remaining balance to be paid within two years of sale.

6. After the Modification was signed by all parties, Defendants did accept an offer on the Property. The Defendants opened an escrow account on the Premises on or about March 17, 2014, with Stewart Title Company.

7. Plaintiff properly registered the claim on the escrow with Stewart Title Company. The payment from escrow was only going to provide some $20,000.00 toward the claim, but some is better than nothing, and the Modification then called for the balance to be paid over the next two years.

8. Thereafter, Defendants shut down their escrow with Stewart Title, and moved the escrow to Old Republic Title. The escrow was completed and closed only three days later.

9. Defendants did not inform Plaintiff of the change in escrow companies, nor did they instruct the new company to pay the legitimate claim of the Plaintiffs.

10. Thus, Plaintiff did not receive any payment from escrow as agreed, nor has she received any payment from Defendants toward the refund of the down payment.

11. In addition to the failure to pay, the Plaintiff has been unable to buy another house because she lacks the down payment. The prices for homes has risen sharply in the last two years, and the failure of the Defendants to pay as agreed has kept the Plaintiff from participating in the increase in value a home purchased two years ago has undergone.

12. On or about August 2, 2016, Plaintiff and her then-husband Daniel Curry divorced due to irreconcilable differences. The stress and strain from the loss of Plaintiff’s entire life savings was a direct cause of her divorce. She lost her husband of fifteen (15) years primarily, though not solely, due to incredible strain this financial loss created.

13. Worse, Plaintiff has suffered nightmares, nights of insomnia, and other symptoms of depression due to the loss of such a large sum.

14. I am in need of this Ex Parte hearing because I need the money that Defendants agreed to pay, to secure my financial security.

ARTICLE 2 – DECLARATION OF POLICY A. The City Council finds that the abandonment of shopping carts within the City is a source of visual blight, negatively impacts the aesthetic appearance of the City and constitutes a public nuisance.

C. The City Council finds that local businesses often fail to take reasonable and appropriate steps to prevent the removal of shopping carts from their business premises or to retrieve shopping carts in a timely manner.

D. The City Council finds that requiring local businesses to be more responsible in preventing shopping cart abandonment and in retrieving abandoned shopping carts is necessary to reduce this source of visual blight, improve the aesthetic appearance of the City and protect the health and safety of the public.

ARTICLE 3 – SAFETY CLAUSE The City Council hereby finds, determines, and declares that this Ordinance is promulgated under the general police power of the City, that it is promulgated for the health, safety, and welfare of the public, and that this Ordinance is necessary for the preservation of health and safety and for the protection of public convenience and welfare.

Franklin is about 1 1/2 years from earning a degree after some of her credits from Cal didn’t transfer. She’s going full-on in the pool, too, working with Bauerle on building up her stamina and strength in pursuit of regaining her speed.

She’s hitting the weight room and feeling reassured that her shoulders are healed, although she sees a physical therapist a few times a week for maintenance.

She may swim some Pro Series meets in the coming months. Her main target is U.S. nationals in July in Southern California.

“I’m kind of coming back from the bottom,’’ she said. “I could feel pressure because people are expecting a comeback, but I don’t care. I don’t really care what kind of pressure people are putting on me because I can’t control that.’’

Instead, Franklin is focused on why she wants to swim again.

“I want to get back to that 17-yearold who truly loved the sport,’’ she said.

“It’s less about the hardware I bring back and more about getting back there and showing people the Missy that is so happy.’’

get into a change-school narrative, so it is better for me not to say anything. I have a lot of respect for the Valor administration and what the school has accomplished and hopefully I played a small role in that.

“With football hirings it will probably happen in the next two or three weeks. If nothing is the right fit, I’ll look at some leadership, athletic director or fundraising things. If those doors aren’t open, I’ll coach my son’s flag football team.”

Trahan rejoins Highlands Ranch athletic director Preston Davis, who hired Trahan at Smoky Hill. He coached four seasons at Montbello (Far Northeast) and then three seasons at Smoky Hill.

He inherits a 6-5 team that made the 5A state playoffs under interim coach Dave May after a difficult start that saw Mark Robinson resign before the season opener.

Campbell, who has been head coach at Arapahoe for 15 years, was looking to downsize to a smaller

school with small-town qualities.

Englewood is a 2A school with first-class renovated facilities but the Pirates haven’t had a winning football season since 2010, so he has a challenging rebuilding job.

Softball wants more games, too The Colorado High School Activities Association has an equity committee which oversees Title IX, and the group has stated that if the limit of baseball games is increased, girls softball should also have the chance to play more games.

The Centennial and Continental Leagues have a proposal to increase the number of baseball games from 19 to 23, and that pitch will be voted on at the Jan. 25 Legislative Council meeting.

If the baseball proposal passes, the equity committee recommends the passage of an identical bylaw for softball at the April Legislative Council meeting.

This is Karl’s “one word” because he said, “Courage and strength alone are great attributes. So are wisdom and knowledge, faith and hope. But whether we are in good times or in bad times, it is the endurance to persevere that can elevate us to a higher plateau, even when we are doing great. It will also be the attitude of perseverance that will help us to improve in areas where we need to develop when we find ourselves in difficult or challenging times.”

Here is Tom Ziglar’s word. Tom is the chief executive officer of the Zig Ziglar Corporation. Tom chose “transformation.”

Tom calls it the trinity of transformation and he says it this way, “Transformation happens when desire ignites hope and is fueled by grit.”

People often have goals and dreams.

A third critical component is conservation, yet another area where south metro communities are leading the way. South metro residents have reduced per person water demand by 30 percent since 2000. Our region averages less than 120 gallons of water use per capita per day, one of the lowest rates in the state and well ahead of the Colorado Water Plan’s 2050 goal of 129 gallons per capita per day for the

We all desire something in this life. We desire to change or transform something about ourselves or in our life.

Every one of us has desires, and we all have hope for something. But until we have the grit to see it through, true transformation will not happen.

Lastly, I am so happy and proud to share what my good friend Lissa Versteegh had to say about her “one word.” Lissa is the senior vice president of sales strategy and development at Randstad USA. Her word is “authentic.” She shared that, “With all the changes in life and in the world, we must stay true to ourselves. And when we do, we will make the right judgments and decisions.” That is gold, brilliant.

Now, when we look at these words in summary and in one snapshot, we see where making the right choices and choosing the right behaviors, and then diligently getting after those behaviors with the attitude of perseverance, we will meet with transformation in

our personal and professional lives.

And when we add staying true to ourselves, striving to be authentic in all that we do, we will choose, behave, persevere and transform the authentic lives we were meant to live.

Knowing that many of you will ask, my own “one word” is “loveandforgiveness.” I know it is really not “one word,” but if you think about it for a minute, it truly is “one word.”

So how about you?

What is your “one word” for 2018? I would really love it if you would send me an email with your “one word” and why you have chosen that word at gotonorton@gmail.com.

And when we can choose a positive, strong, encouraging, and authentic word to live by, it really will be a better than good year.

Every member of the South Metro Water Supply Authority knows that the next drought could happen at any time, which is why all these efforts are so important. They require substantial commitments of money and resources, but when compared to the cost of drought and floods, the need for these investments becomes apparent.

So — what does the future hold? The 2018 Farmers’ Almanac predicts cold but moderate snowfall for Colorado — “not as harsh as usual.” In the months to come, we’ll learn if that’s correct, but no matter what, we’ll be ready.

South Metro Water’s membership spans much of Douglas County and parts of Arapahoe County, including Castle Rock, Highlands Ranch, Parker and Castle Pines North.
