Candidates clash over home rule during forum

Many voters are still unclear about what changes could actually come to fruition

Douglas County voters will face two decisions on June 24: whether to adopt home rule, and — regardless of how they vote on that question — who should serve on the charter commission if the measure passes. Up to 21 candidates can be selected to draft the new governing document, but their role only takes e ect if the home rule measure is approved.

As part of an e ort to inform voters and encourage them to select commission candidates regardless of how they vote on home rule, Douglas County Citizenry (DCC), a conservative civic group, hosted a June 11 meet-and-greet for Republican and una liated candidates. e event aimed to inform, not endorse, any position on the home rule initiative. But with the election fast approaching, it revealed sharp divisions among the conservative candidates — and left many attendees with more questions than answers. As con icting perspectives played out on stage, some voters walked away still uncertain about what home rule would actually mean for the county.

“Democrats seem much more united in their opposition to home rule, where conservatives still seem pretty split about it,” a DCC organizer told the Douglas County NewsPress at the event.

A look at candidates for home rule panel

Some support proposal while others oppose it

BY HALEY LENA HLENA@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

On June 24, Douglas County voters will be deciding who will form a commission to draft a home rule charter. e commission will serve only if the home rule measure is approved.

It will consist of 21 members — six from each of Douglas County’s districts and three at-large members. ere are 48 candidates — some in support of home rule and some against — vying for the positions.

Candidates for at-large seats

Kevin Van Winkle, George Teal and Abe Laydon: all are currently serving as county commissioners.

Angela omas: ran for Douglas County commissioner and has served in leadership roles with the Douglas County Democratic Party.

Candidates for District 1

David Weaver: formerly served as Douglas County sheri and as a Douglas County commissioner, and a former U.S.

HOME RULE

Several candidates used their twominute introductions to champion the measure. Former state lawmaker Frank McNulty framed it as a chance to push back on state control, calling the commission “an opportunity for us to put a ag in the ground in Douglas County and tell the Democrats and the leftists in Denver (that) enough is enough.”

County Assessor Toby Damisch echoed that sentiment, accusing the General Assembly, Gov. Jared Polis and state courts of showing “absolute contempt for rural Colorado ... and more so than anything else, they have total and unabated contempt for Douglas County.”

Other supporters focused on speci c priorities they’d like to enshrine in a charter. Sheri Darren Weekly, for instance, advocated for maintaining the independence of his o ce from county commissioners.

But opponents, including Lora omas, who is a former county commissioner, urged voters to reject the measure entirely. omas argued that proponents were overstating what home rule could actually change — particularly in areas like law enforcement and gun policy, where state law would still apply.

“ ere’s a lot of misinformation that is going on out there,” Weekly acknowledged. “We can’t get out of state law. State law is state law.”

Candidate Tom Wiens added to the mix of interpretations, suggesting that home rule would give counties virtually

the same powers as home rule municipalities, a claim that is not accurate, according to the Colorado Attorney General’s o ce.

“ e powers that a home rule municipality (has) and the powers that a home rule county would have ... they’re the same for both … they’re generally the same,” Wiens said.

However, county and municipal home rule powers di er signi cantly. Counties remain more limited under state law, particularly in areas where the state legislature has preempted local authority. Other opponents questioned the home

rule process outlined by county commissioners – all of whom were invited to the DCC event but did not attend. Steven Arthur Boand and Charles O’Reilly criticized the proposed 60-day timeline to draft the charter as “rushed.” Boand, who once supported home rule, said he reversed his position after seeing how the process played out.

“If the commissioners’ favored candidates all win, we’ll be done with this in 62 days ... that’s too short to get this right,” Boand said.

O’Reilly and others pointed out that the process lacked adequate public en-

gagement. Some accused the county commissioners of having pre-planned the initiative without involving residents early on.

On the audience’s part, there was still a good deal of confusion around the legal mechanics of home rule. With less than two weeks before the vote, questions remained about what home rule would actually allow, how the 21 commissioners would work together, and how much public input there would be while a charter was formed.

Candidates were unable to answer many questions about the charter’s details, since its contents won’t be known until it’s written — and that will depend on who’s elected to draft it.

Damisch said a home rule charter could either raise or lower property taxes; for example, “depending on the commissioners that we elect.”

One attendee asked what would happen if the ballot measure fails this month.

“It doesn’t mean it’s dead forever,” said candidate Mindy Bandimere-Jordan.

Under Colorado law, residents can bring a home rule measure back to the ballot by submitting a petition signed by at least 5% of voters from the last general election. Boand suggested that if the current measure fails, it could be revived through that process.

“Perhaps, if we had more time to talk about it, we would broaden participation,” he added. By the end of the evening, uncertainty still hung in the air.

“I came tonight hoping that I’d get clarity on whether to vote yea or nay,” one attendee said. “I honestly haven’t gotten that.”

Sellers Are Putting Homes on the MLS, But Buyers Are Playing Hard to Get

In this article, I’m going to provide a market analysis that you won’t find anywhere else. Using my access to the Denver MLS, I will show you what is happening among listings within a 25-mile radius of downtown Denver that are active, pending and sold between $550,000 and $650,000.

I chose the price range because $600,000 is the median sold price in our market, unchanged from a year ago. I chose the 25-mile radius because that defines the metro area in my opinion. Every other statistical report you’ll read analyzes listings in 7 to 10 metro area counties, some of which extend many miles into the mountains (Park county) or out onto the plains (Adams, Arapahoe and Elbert counties). If you live in the Denver metro area as most people define it, my statistics are going to more accurately reflect the reality of our metro market.

Currently, as I write this on Tuesday, there are 1,543 active single family homes listed in that price range and in that 25-mile radius on REcolorado. Only 180 of them have been on the market 7 days or less, so 88.3% of them have been on the MLS over a week without selling

dian listing sold for its listing price, but 20 sold for between 5 and 14 percent below the listing price.

Median days on the MLS is 38

738 listings are “pending,” and 219 of them went under contract within 7 days, so 70.3% of them lingered on the market over a week before selling. Median days on market for the pending listings is 11

Now let’s look at the 561 listings which closed in the last 30 days, not the month of May. Ten of them sold before they were entered on the MLS, and another 224 went under contract in 7 days or less. So, 57.9% of those closed listings lingered on the MLS over a week. Median days on the MLS before going under contract was 11. The me-

Denver Leads the Nation in Increase of Unsold Listings

Compare those percentages, which I have put in bold for easy spotting. There’s over a 30% difference between the percentage of sold and active listings that have lingered unsold on the MLS for over a week.

Also compare the days on MLS. The median pending and closed listings went under contract in 11 days, but the active listings have a median days on MLS of 38. Any real estate professional will tell you it’s pricing. Many active listings may now be at a price that would have sold quickly, but they were overpriced in the beginning and now fail to get buyers’ attention.

979 days on the MLS — 95 have reduced their prices, but not enough to go under contract yet. Some of those price reductions are pretty dramatic, too. Nine of them have reduced their prices by $100,000 or more, and one by $250,000 — and they still haven’t gone under contract! As mentioned above, I would wager that if those listings had started out at their current price as new listings, they would have sold quickly and possibly above their current listing price, but they remain active today as stale listings, which are harder to sell at any price.

The bottom line of this analysis should be clear by now. If a home is not priced right in the beginning, it runs the risk of lingering on the market. Price reductions should be considered within a week if there are few showings and no offers. Don’t wait a month or longer to reduce the price.

The above article first appeared on the real estate page of last Saturday’s Denver Post.

Decline in First-Time Homebuyers

The chart from realtor.com displayed below shows the wide disparity in the increase of active listings compared to before the pandemic. The darker the red, the greater the increase over pre-pandemic levels, and Denver is the darkest at a 100% increase, or double the number of pre-pandemic listings. Coming in second was Austin with 69% increase, then Seattle with 60.9% increase.

Of course, many of those active listings which haven’t sold will either be withdrawn from the MLS or will expire without selling. Indeed, there are already 87 listings in that price range in that area that were “withdrawn” from the MLS in the last 30 days. That means they are still subject to a listing agreement but have been withdrawn from the MLS for one reason or another. The median days on the MLS before being withdrawn was 41.

The cities in blue still don’t have as many active listings as they did prior to the pandemic. Worst cases are Hartford at minus 77.7%, Chicago at minus 59.3%, and Virginia Beach at minus 56.7%.

There are 760 listings in that price range and area which “expired” without selling in the last 30 days, with a median days on the MLS of 70. Of them, 51 expired despite price reductions of up to $125,000.

Of the 100 oldest sold listings (between 68 and 339 days on the MLS) that went under contract in that price range and in that area, all but 9 of them only sold after reducing their listing price at least once. The average price reduction was $39,000, with the highest being $251,000.

Among the 100 oldest listings that are still active on REcolorado — ranging from 152 to

The National Association of Realtors (NAR) reports only 24% of housing sales last year were by first-time homebuyers, down from 50% in 2010. The typical purchaser is also older than in the past, with an average age of 38, or about 10 years above historical norms.

Roughly 20% of listed homes in March were affordable for households with $75,000 in annual income, according to a NAR analysis of property listings. Today, a household with annual income of $50,000 can only afford 8.7% of listings, down from 9.4% a year ago, according to the data.

These are national figures, however. The NAR report (for which you’ll find a hyperlink at http;// RealEstateToday.substack.com) does not provide separate figures for our market, which is probably even more severe in this regard.

New rules for 2025-26 high school basketball season

Goaltending, bench decorum are among main focuses

BY STEVE SMITH

SPECIAL TO THE COLORADO TRUST FOR LOCAL NEWS

We’re still a year away from Colorado adopting a shot clock for high school basketball. e rule kicks in for the 202627 season, with a 35-second timer for all classi cations. However, some changes are coming ahead of the 2025-26 season also.

e National Federation of High Schools adopted new rules and procedures changes for the coming highschool basketball season.

Goaltending/basket interference

A main focus is on dealing with goaltending and basket interference. e goaltending rule says a ball is on its downward arc toward the basket once the shot hits the backboard. If a defender touches the ball after it hits the backboard, it’s two/three points for the shooter’s team.

Before this rule change, it was up to ofcials to determine whether the ball was still climbing toward the goal before any potential goaltending call.

“By establishing that a ball is considered to be on its downward ight upon contacting the backboard, this rule change introduces a clear and objective standard,” said Monica Maxwell, NFHS director of sports and liaison to the Basketball Rules Committee, in a statement posted to CHSAANow.com. “It signicantly reduces the need for o cials to

make subjective judgments regarding the trajectory of a shot, thereby enhancing consistency and accuracy in goaltending calls.”

e rule regarding basket interference

We’ve brought advanced orthopedic and sports medicine to South Denver. The multidisciplinary team at our new comprehensive clinic specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of sports-related injuries for all athletes – from youth to collegiate and amateur to professional. With performance optimization and injury prevention programs, state-of-the-art imaging, advanced treatment options, and more, our boardcerti ed sports medicine physicians, orthopedic specialists, and athletic trainers are committed to helping you play on.

has also changed. Now, only a defensive player can commit goaltending. e NFHS statement said the rule change disposes of the need to determine whether the ball in ight is

a eld-goal attempt or a pass.

“Any alliteration of a shot attempt with contact to the basket or backboard by an o ensive player would be considered basket interference,” the statement said.

Also, intentionally slapping or striking the backboard during a eld-goal try becomes basket interference and not a technical foul.

Also, incidents in which players who intentionally delay returning to the court after being out of bounds and then become the rst to touch the ball will result in an infraction and not a technical foul.

e NFHS also changed a rule related to time-outs.

Players on the oor when o cials call for a timeout are now “bench personnel.” e NFHS statement said the switch “ensures consistent enforcement of penalties for unsporting conduct by allowing o cials to issue technical fouls to bench personnel during time-outs.”

Before the change, game o cials had to determine whether a player who warranted a penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct was actually on the oor or the bench at the time.

“One of the points of emphasis this year will be bench decorum,” said Billy Strickland, executive director of the Alaska School Activities Association and chair of the NFHS Basketball Rules Committee, in the NFHS statement. “How can we help coaches and o cials know that communication is a two-way street? It just needs to be done in a proper manner.”

DUCKY DERBY

Money from the ducks will be used by the club to support the Castle Rock community through a variety of projects, from senior transportation to educational programs and more.

“We’re really well connected to, and support, the community every year,” said Castle Rock Rotary Foundation Board Member Megan Boesp ug. “We want to raise as much money as possible and then help as many people as possible locally.”

With or without a duck in the race, onlookers can still cheer the yellow blur on as it traverses the winding creek.

“It’s really cute,” Boesp ug said. “You’ll hear everybody going, ‘oh, here they come, here they come.’ en they’ll come around the corner. It’s quite remarkable. e whole creek just turns yellow with duckies.”

Once the winners are crowned, the rest of the ducks are recovered, with local Boy Scouts lending a helping hand in the e orts. For Boesp ug, the derby o ers a chance to connect with her neighbors in a di erent setting than the usual.

“ is gets us connected to Plum Creek,” Boesp ug said. “Not a lot of people go down to the creek.” rough the Ducky Derby, Rotary Club of Castle Rock o ers the community the chance to have fun, while supporting causes throughout the town.

“ is is really what Castle Rock’s all about — raising funds for a good cause,” Boesp ug said. “It’s very family friendly, the kids love seeing it. It’s just been one of those local joys for 29 years.”

Castle Rock chamber o ers opportunity to ‘Sip and Savor’

Rebranded annual event will take place June 28 at amphitheater

is year, the Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce’s annual wine tasting event is getting a classy rebrand — along with more booze.

Castle Rock Sip and Savor, known for the last 25 years as Winefest, will make its debut on June 28 at Philip S. Miller Amphitheater, 1375 W. Plum Creek Parkway in Castle Rock. From 5-8 p.m., attendees will have the opportunity to indulge in wine and bourbon tastings, sample a variety of foods and enjoy live music bylocal jazz group After Midnightall included with the $100 ticket.

Kevin McHugh, vice president of the town’s chamber of commerce, said the new name reects a changed event.

“We wanted to change it up a bit — make it a little more upscale,” said McHugh. “ e idea was to make it less of a party atmosphere and

more of an upscale wine and bourbon tasting.”

McHugh expects this event to be a far cry from previous iterations, during which grape-stomp competition winners were awarded bottles of wine.

“We just felt like it could be something di erent,”McHugh added.

With the addition of bourbon samples at this year’s event, a cionados and casual drinkers alike will have plenty of liquor to choose from.

McHugh said that Bubbles Liquor World in Castle Rock was instrumental in nding vendors for the event, roping in six wine and seven bourbon distributors.

Each vendor will have ve to eight products available for sampling, and each will o er special event pricing for the their products.

is year, unlimited food from several vendors and caterers will be included with the cost of entry - a change that McHugh said was based on feedback from previous events. Each food vendor will be serving smaller hors d’oeuvre style dishes, such as stu ed mush-

rooms and chicken skewers. People interested in attending the event are encouraged to purchase tickets soon, as the event may sell out. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit castlerock.org/castle-rock-sip-and-savor/. VIP tickets and packages are also available.

By combining data with community values, the department plans ahead, avoids costly repairs down the line and makes sure investments really bene t Castle Rock residents. is award follows another signi cant achievement. In 2024, the Public Works Department received full APWA accreditation for the third consecutive four-year period, placing it among fewer than 1% of public works agencies in North America to hold this status. APWA accreditation veri es that the department adheres to industry best practices and demonstrates a strong commitment to continuous improvement.

e Town of Castle Rock’s standard of excellence doesn’t stop at Public Works. e Parks and Recreation Department similarly upholds the town’s standard of excellence. It has retained its national accreditation from the Commission for Accreditation of Parks and Recreation Agencies since 2012 — a recognition that only the top 2% of departments in the U.S. achieve. With 100% compliance across 151 standards, the department has been praised for its volunteer programs, environmental sustainability and commitment to wellness. It is one of just eight agencies in Colorado to hold this honor.

Castle Rock Fire and Rescue is also among the most respected in the nation. In 2022, CRFD was reaccredited for the third time by the Commission on Fire Accreditation International. e process includes a rigorous evaluation of operations, performance and strategic planning. Only about 290 re departments globally share this distinction, which speaks to CRFD’s dedication to service

When everything looks like a heart

Have you ever noticed how sometimes you see the shape of a heart in the most unexpected places? Maybe it’s in the clouds as they part and rejoin, or in the way the sunlight cuts through a break in the sky. Perhaps it shows up in the pitting of a worn sidewalk, the irregular pattern of asphalt, or the jagged edge of a stone. It might be in the bark of a tree, the curve of a seashell, or the delicate lines of a fallen leaf. I know it’s not just me, when I’ve shared these little sightings with others, they nod and smile. ey’ve seen them too. Recently, during my morning walks, I’ve noticed more hearts than ever before. At rst, it felt like a happy coincidence. But then I started wondering: Why now? Why am I seeing hearts everywhere I look?

e answer came quietly but clearly: Maybe it’s because my heart is open, open to loving and being loved, open to noticing the signs, open to receiving the messages all around me.

And perhaps these heart-shaped reminders are just that, messages. Messages that love is always present. Not just in grand gestures or hallmark moments, but in the everyday. In nature. In the people around us. In our memories and in our moments of stillness.

It reminded me of that old country song, “Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places.” Maybe we need to start looking for love in all the right places, the kind of love that isn’t loud or ashy but present, steady, generous, and sometimes even quiet. e kind that leaves clues if you’re willing to see them. As I walked and re ected, each heartshaped nd brought to mind someone I love, my wife, my family, my friends, my coworkers, my church family, and those kind souls whose presence lifts me. But it also opened the door to grief, reminding me of those whose faces I no longer get to see. ere’s a tender pain in that kind of remembering, but also a deep beauty. e memories themselves carry love. ey become a gentle whisper: You were loved. You still are. I’ve come to believe that when everything starts to look like a heart, it’s a sign that our emotions are not just alive but awake. We

quality and ongoing improvement.

e Castle Rock Police Department has maintained its accreditation from the Colorado Association of Chiefs of Police, which involves extensive reviews of the department’s policies and procedures, con rming adherence to new laws and the adoption of best practices. All this ensures that CRPD provides the highest level of law enforcement and police services to the Castle Rock community. e national award and the accreditations across departments a rm the Town of Castle Rock’s commitment to excellence, strategic planning and transparency. Whether it’s the road under your tires, the park down the street, the re crew on standby, or police o cers who serve and protect, residents can trust they are backed by nationally and locally recognized departments that prioritize community safety, their well-being and the town’s future.

are tuned into something deeper. We’re allowing love to rise to the surface and shape how we see the world.

Of course, not everyone walks through life looking for hearts. Some seem to make it their mission to nd what’s broken. ey focus on the bad, the unjust, the messy. And while we should never turn a blind eye to pain or pretend problems don’t exist, there’s something to be said for being a good- nder, someone who seeks out what’s beautiful, kind, and loving. Or better yet, a love- nder. ere’s no denying the division and noise that echo through the world today. But maybe, just maybe, there’s truth in another song lyric: What the world needs now, is love, sweet love. Not the abstract kind. e real kind. e kind that sees hearts in tree bark and cracks in the pavement. e kind that sees people fully. at gives generously. at believes again and again that love is always worth it.

So if your heart feels a little more open lately, or even if you’re just beginning to crack the door, I hope you start seeing the signs. I hope hearts show up in unexpected places. I hope you let those shapes turn your thoughts to the people you love and to the memories that still breathe warmth into your spirit.

And maybe, just maybe, when everything starts to look like a heart, it’s God reminding you of what truly matters. After all, we’re called to love as we have been loved.

So here’s my prayer for you: May your days be lled with hearts. May your heart be open. And may love always nd its way in. As always, I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we take notice when everything looks like a heart, it really will be a better-than-good life.

Regarding the article “An ecofriendly and safe way to recycle paint, electronics in Parker”: It used to be easy to do. It’s a shame Douglas County communities have had to struggle to put together these types of events recently. Up through 2019, Tri-County Health Department, the county’s former shared health department, sponsored such annual events around the county in the fall, called the Household Chemical Roundup. I volunteered for the one in Castle Rock for many years, doing vehicle o -load. It was a lot of fun and a great way to give back to the community. But the pandemic changed all of that. Masking and other so-called encroachment on “freedom” was a bridge too far, and the BOCC at the time, of which two members remain, decided to part ways with TCHD and form a new county health dept. As such, those events no longer happen, and here we are.

Consider leaving Trump behind I’m submitting a de nition as follows:

A person who suppresses the press; appoints supporters in key posts in his administration (attorney general, secretary of state, inspector generals, FBI director, and others); silences his critics via threats; uses ICE to arrest and often deport not only undocumented immigrants (he claims to be getting rid of criminals) but citizens of the country; attempts to use the judicial system to attain his goals; completely disregards the rule of law etc.

As many have realized I’ve dened a dictator.

One person exhibits these traits: Donald J. Trump.

I urge those who voted him in to consider voting for candidates who truly support a democratic form of government in the midterms of 2026.

Medication plan is bad idea

I’m fortunate to be in generally good health, but like many others, I rely on maintenance medications to keep it that way. Often, speci c brand-name drugs are the ones that work consistently. I pay close attention to any policy that could a ect whether patients can keep getting the medications they trust.

at’s why I’m alarmed by the Trump administration’s recent Most Favored Nation (MFN) proposal. Tying our drug prices to foreign countries might sound like a quick x, but it won’t guarantee access, and it could choke the investment pipeline that makes brandspeci c innovation possible in the rst place.

When a treatment nally works for someone, access should never be up for negotiation.

I fervently hope against all odds that, he is impeached and convicted — we would hopefully get back to some degree of normalcy. However given who makes up the rest of his

At the same time, we know the current system has its own problems, especially with PBMs. ese corporate middlemen have long been an issue in so many ways. ey manipulate which drugs get covered and often pocket the discounts instead of passing savings to patients. Reforms to crack down on PBM abuse, already in Congress’s reconciliation package, are long overdue. DC should follow Colorado’s example: is year the state took a major step toward holding PBMs accountable and passed HB25-1094.

Let’s not trade one broken system for another. I hope Colorado’s congressional delegation will reject MFN and instead focus on passing PBM reform that helps real patients now.

Focus on brain health awareness

June, named after the Roman goddess Juno — protector of marriage, childbirth, and women — stands for nurturing and protective energy. So it is no surprise this month is popular for weddings and raising awareness of many social causes representing children’s and women’s issues. e top of the list is Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness month. is is near to my heart, having two sisters die of Alzheimer’s disease and being a vigilant supporter of ghting the disease and its e ects on families.

ere is so much to deal with emotionally and medically when a family member is diagnosed with any form of dementia or brain issues. When you add the nancial burden, it is almost unbearable. As a nancial adviser, I have seen the devastation brain illness causes for the entire family and community.

Sometimes, I am the rst to notice a client slipping mentally in conversation or especially in grasping nancial concepts. is could be due to infrequent visits when I can see a noticeable change that a regular friend or family member might not recognize as a change in cognitive function. Also, when you add numbers to the conversation, this is a di erent environment than others may see their loved one in and think everything is ne at Sunday dinner or when out for a walk.

I am not the goddess Juno, but the best nurturing and protective advice I can give is to always be prepared, for any illness, event, or end of life. You don’t want to leave your family scrambling to understand your needs and wishes when you are most vulnerable and may not be able to communicate.

I often hear clients say they are not ready to make arrangements for a medical directive, health care agent or a Power of Attorney (POA). I suggest you make them anyway and then vow to change them in the future if you want to make

FINANCIAL STRATEGIES

adjustments. Also, make sure your POA is good for nancial accounts, not just selling a house or car. We may still be dealing with a generation who is uncomfortable discussing nances with their adult children. Get your nancial adviser to hold a family meeting and you direct how much should be disclosed but at least get the conversation started.

e Alzheimer’s Association states that worldwide, there are more than 55 million people living with Alzheimer’s or some other form of dementia. is is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). ey list the top ve signs as:

• Memory loss such as forgetting events, repeating yourself

• Di culty planning or solving problems, paying bills, or following instructions

• Trouble completing familiar tasks, driving, cooking, shopping, using technology

• Confusion with time or place, losing track of dates

• Problems with visual images and spatial relations, balance, judging distance, tripping, dropping, or spilling things. Alzheimer’s can strike at any time but is most common in our eighties or later. My sister Alice was 47. My sister Ruth was 70. It is important to be aware and start the conversation and plan. is helps ease family dynamics and address the nancial burden while you can all communicate and prepare together.

Harnessing the power of Colorado’s Public Workforce System

When you or someone close to you loses their job unexpectedly, life gets hard. Stress levels rise when you are forced to answer questions like, “Do I have enough saved to get me through the next couple of months?” Or “Times are changing, and my last role rarely exists anymore. How will I transfer those skills?” Or even “Who is going to hire me at this stage in my career?”

What many job seekers who nd themselves in this situation don’t realize is that Colorado’s Public Workforce System is here for you. With more than 50 workforce centers across the state and a plethora of services available, we can help you, your family members, neighbors and former colleagues through any period of joblessness.

Jon F. found himself answering some of the questions above when his company in the manufacturing industry shut down due to foreign trade. After ve years with the company and late in his career, Jon struggled to nd employment. He worried he would have to relocate to nd a similar role. Not wanting to uproot his family from the life they built in Colorado Springs, Jon visited his local workforce center, and a job coach supported his application to participate in the Trade

Adjustment Assistance (TAA)* program.

Jon’s TAA counselor identi ed an opportunity that aligned with his goals to upskill and advance his career. anks to that support, Jon completed his Lean Six Sigma Black Belt certi cation from Purdue University. He then went on to secure a position earning six gures as a Continuous Improvement Manager at Entegris Inc.

Jon is one of nearly 4,000 Coloradans who have taken advantage of the TAA program. e TAA program is designed to help workers whose careers have been impacted by foreign trade. ose who qualify have access to bene ts including job training, programs for certi cate and advanced degrees, case management services, job search support and relocation allowances during training. e program equips workers, like Jon, with the skills and credentials needed to secure well-paying, in-demand employment.

BY RYLEE DUNN

For many, the feeling is all too familiar: hands awkwardly gripping the fretboard, the sharp bite of the strings digging into ngertips, an out-of-pitch buzz emitting from the soundhole — the early days of learning to play guitar can dissuade even the most persistent student from the pursuit.

Yet those who persist often discover the hard-earned spoils of guitar playing. Camp res become enlivened with sound, impromptu jam sessions serendipitously come together and in some cases, bands and long-standing musical careers are formed.

While many guitarists learn the instrument when they’re children, others come by it later in life – and the instrument has plenty to o er folks no matter when they pick it up. David Gilbert, a father of two from Englewood, began playing recently because he wanted to expose his young children to the magic of live music.

“I’m pushing 40,” Gilbert said. “At this point, the likelihood that I’m going to end up some guitar virtuoso is pretty slim, but what I recognize is that I can get to a point where I can subject my family to some camp re songs.

“And I think that kind of speaks to the essence of guitar — kind of as this common man’s instrument that doesn’t take too much to get to a point where you can play

some simple sing-along songs with kids, or get to a point where you can just make a fun sound or a little tune,” he continued. “So at this point, that’s my goal; to learn enough chords that I can play some music.”

Gilbert, like many other later–life guitar learners, has turned to a common source of information in the modern age for instruction: YouTube.

e widely utilized social media site is sought out by both novices and seasoned professionals alike.

Warren Rubin is a lifelong guitarist who began playing at an early age and now plays bass guitar in the Arvada-based band, Dive Bar Diva. Rubin works as a soundman for artists such as Hazel Miller and operates an ampli er repair shop out of his garage. He is sometimes known as the “Amp Whisperer.”

Rubin says that there are more resources out there for aspiring guitarists now than there have ever been.

“You don’t have to take classes every week or every month; as much as you need to just pursue interesting ideas,” Rubin said. “Watch other people who have other approaches to the instrument. We live in a golden age for this sort of thing, because you can turn to YouTube and there are people who are just absolutely brilliant guitarists showing you what they do and how they do it.”

Guitarist Kevin Pounds has played in a number of Colorado bands, including We Are Not A Glum Lot (pictured).

Some of the YouTube channels Rubin and Gilbert recommend are Rick Beato, Justin Guitar, Paul Davids, Andy Guitar, and Wings of Pegasus.

While Rubin acknowledges the utility of something like YouTube, he also continues to take in-person lessons at the Olde Town Pickin’ Parlor in Arvada, despite having played the instrument for over six decades.

“All of the best guitar players I know — including my teacher, who has a master’s degree in jazz — continue to take classes,” Rubin said. “If you can a ord it, take lessons, not because it’s the only way to learn the instrument, but it gives you a strong set of fundamentals.”

e Denver metro area is awash with music schools that o er guitar lessons. Arvada’s Pickin’ Parlor, Denver’s Swallow Hill Music, Englewood’s Denver Music Institute and the Littleton School of Music all o er lessons for a variety of di erent styles and skill levels.

While many continue to take lessons long after rst picking up the instrument, other players eschew them altogether. Kevin Pounds — a Colorado Springsbased musician who records under the name Kevin Lbs. and has played in bands including We Are Not A Glum Lot and e Short-TERM — is completely self-taught and learned the instrument by ear.

“I spent my rst year playing, probably hours a day, sounding out Nirvana songs by ear,” Pounds said. “Just dragging my ngers up the strings until I heard some semblance of what was coming out of the speaker across from me. I became a bit more literate with time. I started to realize that certain chords that I was learning matched individual notes on my fretboard.”

Pounds echoed Rubin’s sentiment about trying to learn from others.

“Try not to compare yourself to others,” Pounds said. “It can be very discouraging. But on that note, don’t be afraid to steal their tricks or techniques. You’re always going to put your own scent on it anyway.”  Gilbert said the main hurdles he’s dealt with as a newer player are developing the muscle memory to be able to quickly change chords and nding time to practice.

“It reminds me, actually, somewhat of where I started to feel a little stumped with learning a foreign language,” Gilbert said. “Doing rapid chord changes is still something I’m training my ngers to do. “ e other big challenge for me right now is just time,” Gilbert continued. “You know, I’ve got a full-time job and I’ve got kids, so, if I’m lucky, I’ve got half an hour in the evening to sit down with a YouTube tutorial and mess around with guitar. But that’s sort of the bene t of the YouTube thing. I don’t have to build lessons into my schedule. I can t them in where it works.”

Rubin said that instead of seeking out mastery, one should play simply for the enjoyment of the instrument.

“If it brings you joy, you already play well enough,” Rubin said. “And you know, what brings you joy? Is it just playing three chords and being able to sing some of your favorite songs? Is it being able to sit in your chair and noodle a little bit while you watch television? Do it. It’s never too late to start.

“You don’t need to become a virtuoso,” Rubin continued. “I’m not going to live long enough to be a virtuoso, but you don’t need to be a virtuoso for playing to bring you joy.”

Guitarist Kevin Pounds learned the instrument by figuring out songs by ear, demonstrating one of the many paths one can take on their way to learning to play.
