clear amid District 1 vacancy choice

Four front-runners split among two newly emerged camps ahead of crucial vote

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As the dust continues to settle from the municipal elections, two clear factions showed their outlines at a recent Englewood City Council meeting — and the soon-to-be-seated District 1 councilmember may be the straw that tips the scale.

A 3-3 split emerged among the six current councilmembers at the Jan. 16 meeting during discussion on who should fill the seat vacated by now-Municipal Judge Joe Jefferson. Whoever prevails as the representative from District 1 — which roughly encompasses the city’s northwestern and downtown areas — is likely to break an ideological tie largely defined by the split between councilmembers Laurett Barrentine and Linda Olson.

The successful applicant will also play a key role in which councilmember is chosen by council to be mayor.

“Every single candidate had amazing qualities that they brought to this,” said Councilmember Rita Russell, mayor pro tem.

Several councilmembers expressed praise for a wide array of the seven Englewood residents in the running to fill the District 1 seat. Initially, nine applied, but two have since dropped out of the process. Council voiced its preference for four of the seven remaining candidates.

City council has until Feb. 7 — 30 days after Jefferson stepped down — to appoint the new member. Englewood could have opted for voters to make the call in a special election, but City Manager Eric Keck explained why it wouldn’t be ideal.

“Ballpark, (it would cost) $15,000 for a special election,” said Keck, adding that early May would be the soonest an election could take place, with the winner possibly taking office mid-May. That could leave the council with a likely 3-3 split on polarizing issues, no direct District 1 representation and no mayor seated for months. Council can SEE COUNCIL, P44

Students nominated by DeGette to attend military academies Schools from throughout metro area bear nominees STAFF REPORT

Early in January, 21 local students from Denver and the south metro area received a nomination by United States Rep. Diana DeGette (D-Denver) for the opportunity to attend U.S. military service academies.

DeGette reviews applications from high school seniors each year and chooses who gets nominated. A volunteer citizen-advisory board helps select the strongest candidates.

“The choice by these young people to attend the service academies speaks volumes about their commitment to our country, to their communities and to their own personal development,” DeGette said. “They will face extraordinary challenges as they prepare to answer the call to national service.”

A Jan. 12 ceremony marked the students’ nomination at the Colorado State Capitol’s old Supreme Court chamber.

Here’s a full list of the nominees from DeGette’s area, the 1st Congressional District, which includes Denver, Glendale, Englewood, Sheridan, Cherry Hills Village and unin-

corporated areas west of Littleton.

Some students, denoted by asterisks, requested nominations to more than one academy. The schools they attend are also listed.

About me I’m a Colorado native — I grew up in Englewood, and I met my husband in the Englewood High School band. I got married and had kids and moved to Littleton. I’ve got three boys, all grown.

They gave me my start in the schools, when I started volunteering in theirs.

I was familiar with volunteering, and I started doing more advocacy work around school funding.

I wanted to be involved in the boys’ classrooms.

When they got to middle school the district had to make some substantial cuts, including the International Baccalaureate program. I see why they had to do that, but it made me sad.

Partly it was as a result of TABOR, but it was also the beginning of the Great Recession.

Never bored of education The thing I love the most about the Board of Education is that it’s the most local form of governance possible.

I’m a big believer that people’s focus is on national politics, but if you want to know what’s going on at the local level, pay attention.

Being on the school board gives me the chance to interact closely with constituents, like parents, teachers, administrators and students in a meaningful way.

I really believe that you know how a community values its children when you see what it spends on them. Understanding the budget and making good decisions is super important.

• Minimally invasive treatments • Most insurances, including Medicare and Medicaid • Superior patient experience

Pathways abound I also think about how to best serve nontraditional students. I have three boys: one was very traditional, a good student, who went on to be an engineer. I have two others who took different pathways. My focus is increasing number of pathways for students.

We have great career and technical education programs. It’s a big goal of the district and one of mine to expand those programs. That gives opportunities for all types of learners and students. When I grew up, career education and Tech Ed was for kids who didn’t want to do classroom work, but now we’re finding that students from every walk of life take these classes because they offer great opportunities if you go to college or not. In our teacher cadet program, all students will go on to college. In the health services program, you can walk out of there with a CNA certification. A lot are going on to nursing or medical school.

Littleton officials say they couldn’t compel Carl Chang, the owner of Columbine Square Shopping Center, to do anything beyond securing the property against vandalism and trespassing, which they say has been done to their satisfaction.

If all goes according to plan, the long-vacant Columbine Square Shopping Center will be demolished by the end of February.

The shopping center at Belleview Avenue and Federal Boulevard in Littleton — the city’s final remaining urban renewal district — has sat empty since 2014, accruing graffiti and broken windows. A fire that completely destroyed one of the buildings on Jan. 3 is believed to have been caused by squatters lighting a warming fire, authorities say, and a subsequent investigation by the fire department found evidence of habitation in numerous buildings and storefronts on the site.

With public pressure mounting to demolish the buildings, Littleton city officials are making efforts to engage citizens in the process of moving things forward at the site, which once housed Littleton Preparatory School, Big Papa’s BBQ, El Lucero Restaurant, a Safeway grocery store and other small businesses.

City officials will head up an action committee with community members to disseminate information about the site, said Littleton Mayor Debbie Brinkman.

“I’d like to take a new approach,” Brinkman said. “I don’t want things to be so messy in the future.”

The committee will include Brinkman; councilmember Patrick Driscoll who represents District 1, where Columbine Square sits; and four or five citizens. Community Development Director Jocelyn Mills will chair the group. Brinkman said the selection of citizen members will come once the committee’s scope and timeline is more fleshed out. Whether or not the property owner will have a representative on the committee has not yet been confirmed, Brinkman said.

The committee’s goal will be for the city to communicate to residents how plans are proceeding at the site so

GET INVOLVED The scope and timeline of the Columbine Square Action Committee is still in its infancy, said Littleton Mayor Debbie Brinkman, and the process of selecting citizen members isn’t yet decided.

Interested parties can participate in an upcoming open house to discuss creating a Belleview Corridor Plan, encompassing an area that includes Columbine Square, scheduled for Feb. 5 from 6 to 8 p.m. at St. James Presbyterian Church, 3601 W. Belleview Ave. that residents can be better informed, Brinkman said.

“That way people aren’t getting madder every time they drive past it,” she said. “There’s so much rumor and gossip. None of it’s positive. There’s stuff being done, you just don’t see it.”

Driscoll said he’s unsure what will eventually be built on the site, though he would be amenable to a mixed-use residential and retail structure. No application has been submitted to the city.

The seven-acre property is owned

by Carl Chang, a California-based real estate magnate and CEO of Redwood-Kairos Real Estate Partners, which boasts a lengthy portfolio of large properties around the country.

Neither Chang nor other officials from Redwood-Kairos responded to multiple requests for comment, but they have hired Littleton-based Sundance Mountain Development as an owner representative and construction manager.

Sundance is headed by longtime Littleton resident Frank Melara, who confirmed his involvement but said he was unable to provide more information yet.Melara said his first priority is demolishing the buildings as soon as possible.

Once formal permit applications are filed, Brinkman said she and Driscoll will step back from the committee to prevent a conflict with zoning changes that city council might be asked to vote on.

for Feb. 5 from 6 to 8 p.m. at St. James Presbyterian Church, 3601 W. Belleview Ave. “We’re always eager for community feedback,” said Jocelyn Mills, the city’s Community Development Director. “We want the neighbors to be as involved as possible.”

Building code doesn’t require demolishment Property owners were preparing to ask the city for a demolition permit, following approval from the state that asbestos on the property was properly abated, when the fire occurred, Brinkman said. The fire negated asbestos abatement efforts on that part of the property, Brinkman said, sending Redwood-Kairos back to the state to seek new approval.

City officials anticipate Redwood-Kairos will approach them for a demolition permit once they get fresh approval from the state, Brinkman said.

Brinkman said she doesn’t know why the city never attempted to compel Chang to demolish the property.

“Honest to god, I don’t know,” Brinkman said. “We look at it now and say, why didn’t we? To be fair, we don’t have laws on our books to allow us to do that. Staff is going to look at that — it may not do much for Columbine Square, but it would be good to have that in our toolbox in the future.”

The building code only allowed the city to compel the owner to secure

the site, said City Manager Mark Relph, adding that the owners added the famous “green fence” around the property and boarded up broken windows. At a December 2016 city council meeting, Chang apologized for the site’s condition and delays on progress.

Many, if not most of the storefronts’ windows were broken out and numerous doors were open on a recent visit.

“We’ve talked about whether we need to review our code and put in some stronger language,” Relph said.

“We’ve had other properties where the owners do just barely enough to keep it from being a real hazard.”

Carol Brzeczek, a member of the city’s urban renewal board and vocal critic of the city’s urban renewal policies, said the board was assured last fall that the site was secured.

“Obviously it wasn’t,” Brzeczek said. “Ultimately, though, the owner has property rights.”

Brinkman said only so much could be done to secure a site on the scale of Columbine Square.

“The owners have been responsive” in boarding up broken windows and locking buildings, Brinkman said.

“But it’s hard unless you have people there 24/7. You can put on as many locks as you want, and people will find a way in.”

Driscoll said he’s hoping to finally see some progress.

“If we see the owners building something in the next year, that would be great,” Driscoll said. “It’s been way too slow for the community and the city.

They should’ve had it down to dirt a year or more ago. It’s time we alleviate the vagrants hanging out there.”

Economic forecast: Fair to partly cloudy

Colorado is enjoying boom years, but challenges loom, experts say

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Colorado’s roaring economy, though still a national leader, may be beginning to calm somewhat, while pressures in the state — such as stagnant wages and skyrocketing housing prices — as well as national concerns continue to bear down.

That was the message at the annual South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce 2018 Economic Forecast Breakfast, held at CU South Denver in Lone Tree on Jan. 19.

The breakfast featured a slate of speakers from the upper echelons of financial research, who painted a complex portrait of a strong economy not without its challenges.

Colorado can expect to add around 175,000 jobs this year, a rate a little diminished from previous years, said Richard Wobbekind, the executive director of the Business Research Division at the University of Colorado Boulder.

“Colorado is still clearly among the fastest-growing states” in terms of job growth, Wobbekind said. “We’re ranked about 20th right now. These aren’t the kind of numbers as in the last few years, where we were consistently a top five state, but it’s very consistent with our forecasts.”

Among the biggest problems facing employers is finding enough skilled workers, Wobbekind said.

“There’s no sector of our economy that can find enough skilled workers,” Wobbekind said. “This isn’t all about CPAs or computer scientists. It’s about plumbers, electricians and construction workers.”

Colorado’s economic growth is uneven, with the northern Front Range leading the way with strong growth in the energy and tech sectors.

Grand Junction and Pueblo, however, are growing at a rate slower than the national average, Wobbekind said.

Despite strong growth, Wobbekind said, Colorado’s economy will have to wrestle with two stubborn problems: relatively slow wage growth and rising housing prices.

A recent report from the Bell Policy Center — a Denver-based group that works to “advance economic opportunity in Colorado,” according to its website — found that when adjusted for inflation, wages in Colorado are up only about 3 percent, or $33 a week since 2000. Meanwhile, housing prices have soared and inventory has plummeted. Colorado’s statewide home value index showed an average of $344,000 in December, up from just over $200,000 in 2012.

“We have the second-worst ratio of wage growth to the growth of housing prices, behind only Washington D.C.,” Wobbekind said. “Housing prices are really significantly outstripping wages, and this is the red flag we’re paying a lot of attention to.”

Budget dysfunction at the federal level could weigh on the economy in coming years, warned Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.

DAVID GILBERT Close to two-thirds of the jobs being created in the state are below the average annual wage, he said, which stood at $54,664 statewide last year, slightly above the national average of $53,621.

Housing inventory remains a problem. Between 2001-07, Colorado had 119,895 more housing units than households, but in recent years the numbers flipped: from 2008-16, the state had 107,409 more households than housing units.

One number that spurred some optimism is the average rent statewide. While the state saw double-digit percentage hikes in average rent for several years, rent increases are expected to hover around 4 percent in 2018, with average rents at the end of 2017 at $1,346, up from $848 in 2008.

The national problem Looming federal issues could come to bear on Colorado and the nation, said Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget and head of the Campaign to Fix the Debt, a pair of Washingtonbased nonpartisan public policy institutes.

“Federally, we may be entering a period of budgeting week-by-week,” MacGuineas said. “It would be amusing if it weren’t so horrifying. This is a country, the biggest economy in the world, that’s regularly operating without a budget.”

The federal budget affects all sectors of the economy, MacGuineas said.

“When President Trump entered office, he inherited the worst fiscal situation of any president other than Truman,” MacGuineas said.

“Now, that’s not to trash the previous administration. They inherited one of the worst economies of any president.

They were just trying to keep us from going into a deeper recession.”

The national debt is 77 percent of the country’s gross domestic product, MacGuineas said, twice the historical average, and twice where it was when the recession hit.

“In all likelihood, we’re closer to the next recession than the last one,” MacGuineas said. “We’ll be going into it with the debt twice what it has been.

We’re tying our hands for responding.”

MacGuineas outlined some bleak points: The country is on track to borrow $12 trillion. The federal disability, highway and Medicare trust funds are on track to go broke.

The country is having to respond to more frequent and more damaging natural disasters.

“We’re in a fiscally unsustainable situation, where the debt is growing faster than revenue,” MacGuineas said. “That’s predicted to happen every single year, forever. Republicans kept insisting on passing a balanced budget, but the one they put forward didn’t even try to reach balance.”

The recently passed federal tax bill will cost the country $1.1 trillion in revenue over the long term, MacGuineas said, which will complicate the president’s goal of rebuilding infrastructure.

Meanwhile, she said, the tax bill’s goal to offset revenue losses with economic growth is improbable.

“When you hear people say we can grow the economy at four, five or six percent, well, we can’t,” MacGuineas said. “Now we’re predicting the effects of the tax bill to be 0.01 percent or 0.02 percent.”

Tax reform rather than tax cuts would have been more beneficial to the economy, MacGuineas said.

“Reform would have involved getting rid of the $1.6 trillion in tax breaks we have every year,” she said.

“We didn’t get rid of any major tax breaks, and we didn’t offset the cost.

We didn’t broaden the base and lower the rate. When you’re in a fiscal hole, the first thing you do is stop digging.”

The taxman cometh The bleak condition of the federal revenue situation notwithstanding, Colorado is well-situated to take advantage of the discrepancies in tax structures between states, argued Tim Jones, media and communications director of First Rule Media, an author of books on tax policy and a radio talk show host.

“Low-tax environments receive more wealth, and high-tax environments lose it,” Jones said. “If you want more of something, tax it less.”

Jones said that a number of companies are looking to leave California and its relatively higher taxes, and hunting for new homes.

Jones also cited economic stagnation in New York, New Jersey and Illinois as evidence of the stultifying effects of high taxes.

Jones also said that companies are responding positively to the federal tax bill, with several high-profile companies handing out bonuses to employees or making new investments.

Colorado is well-poised to lure companies looking for low-tax environments, said Travis Brown, CEO of First Rule Media — a Missouri-based film and TV production company — and a frequent commentator on “Fox & Friends,” a news/talk program on Fox News.

“Arizona is your number one competitor,” Brown said. “A lot of companies consider Colorado a flyover state on the way to Arizona, but you can help change that. Are you laying down the track to prepare for new businesses and investment?”

Neighborhood meeting on duplex plan derails fast More than 100 residents exceed room’s capacity; event to be rescheduled

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A meeting that was intended to foster conversation between area residents and a developer looking to build multiple duplexes on an Englewood residential lot ended almost as soon as it started, with several residents agitated and the vast majority opposed to the proposal. The meeting will be rescheduled with notice to nearby residents.

About 15 minutes into the meeting at the Englewood Recreation Center Jan. 18, the developer and an Englewood city planner tried to assure the crowd that a decision on the property at 1327 W. Tufts Ave., where a singlefamily home now stands, will not happen in upcoming weeks — and tried to mollify concerns that residents’ voices wouldn’t be heard.

“Don’t split us up,” attendees cried out in a tense room of more than 100, where many stood along the room’s walls. The space’s capacity is 53, Englewood city officials said, which meant some would have to leave, or the meeting would need to be rescheduled.

Brook Bell, the city planner, and

City planner Brook Bell, standing, right, and developer Hans Kuhlmann explain the rezoning process to a crowd of more than 100 at the Englewood Recreation Center Jan. 18. The meeting between neighborhood residents and Kuhlmann to discuss a potential rezoning of a single-family home’s lot to an area with duplexes had to be rescheduled because the crowd put the room over capacity.

ELLIS ARNOLD Hans Kuhlmann, with Halifax Development LLC, attempted to explain the process of a planned-unit development proposal — which rezones, or changes what is able to be built on, an area of land — but residents in the crowd interjected with concerns.

“I assure you, most people here are opposed,” said Kathleen Bailey, a resident who speaks frequently at Englewood City Council meetings.

Many neighbors feel that the duplexes would be out of character with the rest of the single-family, detached homes nearby. Nearly the whole room

reflected opposition to the plan in an impromptu show of hands after a person in the crowd asked for opinions.

Former City Councilmember Rick Gillit walked out of the room in agitation at one point. Current Councilmembers Rita Russell, Linda Olson, Amy Martinez and Dave Cuesta also attended.

The rescheduled meeting will likely occur two weeks or more after the first date because area residents must be notified at least 10 days in advance, not counting the mailing date, Bell said.

Kuhlmann is proposing to develop

five duplexes on the lot, a sprawling triangle of land where a threebedroom, two-bathroom home built in 1955 currently stands. It’s a 1,498 square-foot home, according to listings on the internet. The lot is 1.19 acres, according to city officials. The duplexes would be for sale, and each unit would have a two-car garage, with a street on the property for driveway access, according to plans submitted to the city.

Commencement salutes students’ success Mid-year ceremony held at Colorado’s Finest High School of Choice

BY BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Friends and family members stood and applauded as “Pomp and Circumstance” played and the candidates marched down the aisle to take their seats on the stage Jan. 13 during Colorado’s Finest High School of Choice commencement ceremonies.

The graduation was preceded by the rose ceremony. Students at the Englewood school were recognized for the honors they had received and for scholarships awarded. Also during the ceremony each student was recognized, awards were presented before the young man or woman was given a rose to pass to the person he or she felt did the most to get to this milestone in life.

Then it was time for the 26 students to don robes and mortar boards as they prepared to receive their diplomas.

On the stage each student was accompanied by his or her teacher to the podium. The teacher said a few words about the student’s accomplishments, challenges overcome and plans for the future before handing the candidate

Layla “Sam” Hawker was one of three diploma candidates who spoke to the audience at the Jan.13 Colorado’s Finest High School of Choice commencement ceremonies. She is autistic and struggled at other schools, but a big reason she was graduating was because the staff and students at Colorado’s Finest believed in her when she didn’t believe in herself.

PHOTOS BY TOM MUNDS the diploma and moving the mortar board tassel from right to left, signifying the individual was now a high school graduate.

Earlier in the ceremony Layla “Sam” Hawker was one of three students who gave speeches.

She told the audience that her health problems made it difficult for her to complete her high school education.

“I am autistic and learn differently.

One teacher told my mother than in 20 years she had never had a student like me and that wasn’t said as a compliment,” she said. “In the several

schools I went to I tried to learn, but if I asked for help I didn’t get it. I also was bullied. That was my experience until I came to Colorado’s Finest.”

She said she was welcomed at Colorado’s Finest and felt that teachers understood her struggles with learning and looked beyond her health problems.

“All the students accepted for who I am and all the teachers focused on my potential,” Hawker said. “I am very grateful to all the staff and students at Colorado’s Finest who believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself.”

Students took their seats on the stage as part of Colorado’s Finest High School of Choice commencement ceremonies on Jan. 13. Twenty-six students received their diplomas during the ceremonies.

She said she plans to attend film school because she plans to attend film school because she wants to produce, act a little and animate films.

“I have wanted to make movies since I was a 9-year-old,” Hawker said after she received her diploma. “I love to do animation and have been doing it for years. I want to go to school to more about being behind the camera.”

Her goal is to attend a school in California for autistic young adults who want get into the film industry called Exceptional Adults.

“I have applied to the school and that is where I really would like to go to prepare me for a career in the film industry,” she said.

Council approves new developer hearings Informal, non-binding meetings will tell builders if they’re on the right track

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With development going gangbusters in Littleton — and becoming a hot-button political issue — Littleton City Council added a new step to the planning process for large projects that it hopes will guide developers toward building desirable additions to the landscape.

Council voted 5-1, with Kyle Schlachter absent and Carol Fey the dissenting vote, at its Jan. 16 meeting to add a new step, called a Preliminary Project Plan, or PPP, to the city’s zoning code.

The move allows for applicants seeking to build a planned development — generally a large-scale project combining elements such as retail and housing — to request an informal, non-binding meeting with city council to discuss the project before a formal application is submitted.

Developers would not speak at the meetings, which would be open to the public. City staff would present its

interpretation of the project to the planning commission or city council, who would offer feedback.

Community Development Director Jocelyn Mills, who presented the plan to council, said this process could have helped prevent wasted time on projects like a proposed storage facility on Santa Fe Drive last year that was rejected by council on its second reading.

“The applicant could’ve heard initial thoughts from city council if they had been able to,” Mills said.

She said applicants have been asking for such a process to get “the pulse of council.”

Mixed reviews Councilmembers were largely supportive.

“I think this makes a more open and transparent process early on, when we still have an opportunity to begin to influence and represent what the community is desiring or would likely support,” said Councilmember Karina Elrod.

Not everyone was convinced.

“This benefits the development community,” said resident Pam Chadbourne, who often comments on matters before city council. “To the deSEE HEARINGS, P12

HELPS FAMILIES CELEBRATE THE HOLIDAYS

LPS KINDERGARTEN AND PRESCHOOL REGISTRATION

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.

gree their decisions are good, OK. But I don’t see a lot of developers making great decisions.”

Chadbourne said she believes city staff has not adequately enforced city code as written in the past, citing the Grove development — now called Vita — which spurred citizen lawsuits.

“Staff should enforce code,” Chadbourne said. “It’s their job. It’s a profession. It’s their duty. This is a stopgap for that not happening. ” Carol Brzeczek, another familiar face in city politics, who led the charge against the city’s urban renewal ef-

forts in recent years, said her research suggested that other communities have found PPPs to be irrelevant in their planning processes.

“If you’re going to do this, could you do a trial run before you add it to code?” Brzeczek asked.

No developers spoke at the open hearing.

Councilmember Carol Fey said she was concerned that the process didn’t make room for citizen comments and that the city planning and zoning staff ’s focus is too developer-centric.

“The purpose of zoning is to protect the rights and expectations of the current property owners,” Fey said. “To exclude them from the process of zoning doesn’t make sense. If we’re trying to give the developer a reality check, we have to give them citizen input.”

Weekly Carrier Routes Available

Adding a citizen input component to a PPP could land the city in hot water, said acting city attorney Brandon Dittman.

“The more we move toward a quasi-judicial meeting, the more we’re bound to the decisions made or input given,” Dittman said.

Fey pushed back, saying that the meetings would be informal and nonbinding, but Dittman said that didn’t matter.

“We can call it whatever we want, but courts look at what happened,” Dittman said. “The more something looks like a public meeting, the more likely a court is to see it as one.”

Lack of public comment a concern Elrod said she was concerned that if the public were allowed to comment in PPPs, the developers could too, diluting the purpose of the meeting.

Mayor Debbie Brinkman said PPP meetings will be televised and open

to the public, so citizens can contact their councilmembers to express their opinions.

Fey introduced an amendment to the motion “to include public comment in the Preliminary Project Plan so the developer gets complete and realistic input.” The motion failed 4-2, with Fey and Peggy Cole in favor.

Councilmember Patrick Driscoll, who campaigned on a goal of “opening up” the city to worthwhile development, was enthusiastic about the new process.

“This is a huge plus for the city,” Driscoll said. “This is working with local developers that have offices in Denver, or in some cases Littleton. They will not be leaving this area, and need this reinforcement early on rather than spending thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars to only find out later that they were going down the wrong track all along.”

Teacher murder case shrouded in secrecy Suspect Dan Pesch to face preliminary hearing in March

cold and rainy day in June 2010. No suspects were ever named in the case.

Pesch, 34, seems to have moved to the Denver area from Summit County in spring 2017, according to social media posts. He appears to have two young daughters.

He was arrested Dec. 19 in Littleton and charged with first-degree murder, resisting arrest, obstructing an officer and attempting to escape.

A judge signed a gag order at the time of Pesch’s arrest, meaning the arrest affidavit — normally public information — is unavailable. Court hearing dates have not been posted to the state docket search website, and no listing for the arrest exists on a state database of criminal offenses.

The secrecy is to protect the integrity of the investigation and prosecution, said 18th Judicial District spokeswoman Vikki Migoya.

Prosecutors will present their case

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The man accused of killing former Kiowa High School teacher Randy Wilson in 2010 will have a preliminary hearing on March 30, marking the first time the public will hear many details in the case, which has been shrouded in secrecy since the arrest of suspect Dan Pesch Pesch in December.

Wilson, 52, was found dead at the intersection of County Line and Kiowa-Bennett roads on a

to Judge Robert Lung on March 30. In a preliminary hearing, the prosecution attempts to convince a judge that they have enough evidence to proceed to trial. A trial date has not yet been set.

Pesch’s prosecution is being led by 18th Judicial District Assistant District Attorney Mark Hurlbert, who in 2003 pursued sexual assault charges against basketball star Kobe Bryant, against whom charges were dropped after the accuser declined to testify.

Pesch is being represented by public defenders Annelise Garlin and Elizabeth Orton. He is being held in the Elbert County Jail in Kiowa, which shares a building with the court.

Wilson was a popular teacher at Kiowa High School, where he had taught physics and calculus for a decade, according to news reports from the time of his death.

An obituary for Wilson said he had

Five words to live by — plus your own word

ne word.” Just one word.

As I was preparing to write this column I was inspired by something my friend Tom Ziglar had shared with me. Tom shared with me his “one word” for the year.

He shared that for WINNING the past few years WORDS he picks 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 the wait.

To add a little Michael Norton 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.

Our own Tricia Swenson, the video host and producer for the Vail

Daily, had selected “choose” as her “one word.” Tricia says that, “We all have the ability to choose. We can choose how we react, choose how to adjust, and choose how we view our circumstances. 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

Look around globe to make investment decisions in 2018

he new year brings opportunities and it is always good to have a plan on how best to take advantage when those come your way.

Investors who were FINANCIAL well-diversified in STRATEGIES 2017 are no doubt pleased with their returns. Now the worry sets in about how to top last year without being greedy or fearful.

Everyone wants to know what the outlook is for 2018 considering the tax Patricia Kummer reform and record high watermarks on Wall Street.

This question led me to research expert predictions and probabilities, which led me to deeper philosophies of wealth management, which leads back to proper planning.

The review of predictions versus probabilities was an entire course on statistics and emotional behavior and how they don’t mix. Basically, a prediction is a guess, and a probability is a possibility.

While these can be good building blocks, neither is strong enough to base an entire investment strategy on.

We can gather from the statistics

that we are in a growth cycle that is likely to continue, although not at the same pace as last year.

Corporate earnings could benefit from the tax reform, and stock prices typically mirror economic growth.

While these are logical assumptions, the only new twist this year is that the economic growth needs to be worldwide, not just domestic.

We saw a lull in our recovery from the Great Recession largely because other countries and trading partners were lagging and therefore, the U.S. had slower growth than previous business cycles.

So now the investor needs to pay more attention to China, Japan, Europe, the UK and emerging markets in Asia, Africa and South America, to get a good feel for the size and pace of improvement and the amount of volatility associated with it.

This can be a tall order, but having a well-designed strategy and seeking advice from a wealth adviser could help.

A well-designed strategy should be custom to your goals, time frame, risk and tax situation. This year we have a new set of tax brackets and rules that may surprise many folks when they learn certain deductions and exemptions will be disallowed.

Once you have a strategy in place, it is time to review your portfolio and

see what positions may need to be adjusted to match your plan. This is where the wealth adviser comes in.

This is a relatively new term in a constantly changing industry of financial services, so it may be prudent to understand how your financial planner works and what services they can offer.

This year will be the year of the fiduciary. If your adviser is not one, then run in the opposite direction. I have been a fiduciary since 1986, but the term has become more popular recently.

According to New York Times bestselling author Dan Solin, real “wealth advisers” are Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs), who are legally required to put their clients’ interests first.

This fiduciary duty is mandated

by Section 206 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as well as other statutes. Certified Financial Planners

NORTON

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.

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.”

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. 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.

The romantic habits of rattlesnakes and dinosaurs

W The control room for one of the studios at Rocky Mountain Recorders in Denver. Professionals at the studio can assist with everything from mixing and mastering and deciding between digital and analog recording.

CLARKE READER

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, there are some date ideas that 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 covered, with Sex, Science COMING Saurians: A ATTRACTIONS and Dinosaur Ridge Valentine’s Celebration.

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

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

T “I’m known as the area rattlesnake b sexpert,” Bonnell said with a laugh. i “Between Erin and I, we cover ancient o “ and past animals that so interest people.” w Both Bonnell and LaCount have developed their presentations based i on research, and have honed them to e be funny, informative, and a little bit S f naughty. Where the science is unknown, there will be good caveats and 7 T logical scientific connections.

“Since this is an adult-only event, D I’ve developed a presentation that uses some pretty hilarious language o and approaches,” LaCount said. “For i me, it’s all about making people laugh b t with some interesting facts.”

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

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 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.”

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.

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,

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 six-week run that also did extremely well.

Now the hilarious and gruesome “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.”

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.”

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

“Career and Technical Education Programs provide students the opportunity to develop skills and knowledge tied to work and leadership at work,” Sarah Heath, Career and Technical Education/State CTE director. “We have a variety of programs that are all tied to either high wage, high skill, or high demand jobs in our state.”

Steiner said other new options such as CareerWise Colorado enables students to work, finish high school and complete and Associate’s Degree over a three-year period.

How businesses can collaborate with the education sector to close the skills gap

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.

“With almost 6 million unfilled jobs in America, this lack of soft skills hurts workers, businesses and the economy,” says Cheryl Oldham of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation’s Center for Education and Workforce. “Businesses recognize the critical need for soft skills and are working hard in their communities to help students obtain the skills they need to succeed in the jobs of tomorrow.”

A growing number of companies are focusing on student education as a part of their business strategy. By equipping students with the skills for workplace success, they strengthen their talent pipeline and create shared value. The following insights from the whitepaper offer successful approaches to collaboration between the education and business sectors to help youth become better prepared for their careers.

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.

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.

8 Guide to the Future

January 25, 2018J

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-

ture, renewable natural resources and environmental studies.

High school grads considering degrees in agriculture might consider one of these highest-paying ag occupations:

1. C-suite executives The CEOs, COOs and CFOs at ag startups or established corporations routinely earn $200,000-plus for overseeing company growth and profitability. A bachelor’s or master’s degree is generally needed in addition to a background in leadership and at least five years’ industry experience.

2. Ag lawyers Because ag is so highly regulated, such professionals may handle issues related to water, land use, pesticides, seeds, the environment, labor/HR, immigration, commerce, intellectual property, mergers/acquisitions, etc. Salaries average out at $160,000.

Required: a bachelor’s degree followed by a J.D. and completed state bar exam.

3. Ag sales managers Those skilled in overseeing sales teams are earning an average $125,000plus annually. Most hold bachelor’s degrees in agronomy, crop science, soil science, biology, agricultural business or a related field.

Tongue-in-cheek play provides theater magic IF YOU GO “Peter and the Starcatcher” plays through Feb. 4 at Town Hall Art Center, 2450 W. Main St. in downtown Littleton. The entire production is dedicated to the late, muchloved actor Daniel Langhoff, who appeared often at Town Hall and elsewhere in the metro area — and his wife and two young daughters.

Contributions are accepted in the big shoe in the lobby or at: coloradogives.org/DenverActorsFund.

Tickets cost $24-$44, with 10 value seats available at $10, one hour before each show. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and 2 p.m. on Jan. 27 and Sundays plus 12:30 p.m. Feb. 4. townhallartscenter.org, 303-7942787, ext. 5.

‘Peter and the Starcatcher’ delights audiences in downtown Littleton venue

As the audience is seated, they find the suggestion of the ornate, carved, gilded frame around the stage, such as one finds in a turn-of-the-century opera house or theater. A closer look finds an array of kitchen utensils, small toys (Barbie with a mermaid tail), assorted junk and jewelry, cleverly assembled by scenic designer Amy Campion and sprayed with gold paint. You know a story is forthcoming — perhaps also a bit jumbled? Be sure to take a close look!

Wayne Barker, is based on the YA novel

by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson, published in 2004, which in turn spins off J.M. Barrie’s beloved tale of the boy who didn’t want to grow up. It looks at how Peter Pan came to be a treasured thread in our collective literary fabric.

Three lost boys, Tim Howard (who has no name), Carter Edward Smith (Prentiss) and Andrew Alber (Ted) are brought to the dock — conscripted by a crew of rough seamen. There, two different sailing ships are ready to depart to exotic places. Lord Leonard Aster (Keegan Flaugh), a British gentleman, is in charge — and his daughter, Molly (Morgan Emily Patterson), accompanied by her nursemaid, Mrs. Brumbake (Scott McLean) will go along on the Neverland.

She helps Peter find a name and develops a trust with them all.

Molly introduces the concept of bedtime stories to the boys and helps them with self-assurance as they negotiate over who’s in charge.

Included in the cargo is a trunk carrying valuable stardust. (A flying cat is also on board ... reminding us of the stage version of “Peter Pan,” with its elaborate flying contraptions.)

Since stardust is the sort of treasure pirates might seek, we soon meet the swaggering, supremely silly Black Stache (James O’Hagen Murphy), with a painted-on moustache and an inclination to twist the language. He demands the trunk become his possession — and demonstrates considerable agility.

(Reminds one of his performance in “39 Steps” a few years back.)

They set sail to some islands, where they meet cannibals, including Flying Prawn (Kristofer Buxton) and a chorus of singing mermaids who have really imaginative/goofy costumes by Linda Morken. A storm at sea rocks ship and passengers dramatically. Katie Gruenhagen’s lighting adds greatly to the imagined scene, while Donna Kolpan Debreceni’s musical direction adds depth.

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, P34

New Englewood football coach a familiar face

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.

Mike Campbell, the new Englewood head football coach, tells the audience about himself during a Jan. 17 meeting introducing him to an audience of students and parents. Campbell talked about his background and his plans for the players, and answered questions from the audience.

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Mike Campbell was the center of attention Jan. 17 when Englewood High School officials held a meeting and introduced him as the new head football coach.

Campbell, who was at the helm of the Arapahoe High School football program for 15 years, told a crowd of more than 50 students and parents who attended the meeting that he applied to lead the Pirates’ program because he wanted to coach a team in a community like Englewood.

Nate Smith, athletic director, introduced Campbell.

“The search for a new head football coach stirred a lot of excitement in the community and a lot of interest in the coaching community,” he said. “We had 40 applications for the position from head coaches, assistant coaches.

It included coaches from most school classifications.”

He said a committee screened each application and the favorite choice of committee members was Campbell, and fortunately he accepted the position. Campbell fills the position formerly held by Jay Graves, who was head coach for the Pirates for nine years. He also served as an assistant coach for several years under Randy Penn.

Campbell told the audience that football has always been a big part of his life.

“I played football at Arapahoe, then played at the University of Idaho and then spent a couple seasons in pro ball with the Toronto Argonauts in the Canadian Football League, the coach said. “Then, I accepted the opportunity to teach and coach at my alma mater. I taught history and spent 21 years on the Warriors football staff, 15 as head coach.”

He said last year he was assessing his career goals and had always wanted to coach in a community like Englewood, where everyone follows

TOM MUNDS

the high school team.

“I feel honored they selected me and I am excited I am to now be the Pirates coach,” he said. “I have coached a lot of football, so I know what it takes to win and I will work with our athletes to build a winning program here at Englewood.”

Campbell addressed the players in the audience and said football season will begin Jan. 29.

“We need to get physically stronger, so I expect all the players to be in the weight room from 3:45 to 5 p.m. each Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday,” he said. “This summer will be a busy time as well. We will practice about three hours, three mornings a week.”

He also said he has had questions about his coaching style.

“Defensively, I want the Pirates to play aggressive defense to get in there and disrupt the other team’s plays,” Campbell said. “Our offensive game plans will depend on the talent we have on the team. I prefer a balanced attack, mixing up the passing and running plays. I also feel special teams play is very important. I want our kids to get fired up about football. Also I want our guys to look at the Pirate on the 50-yard line every time we take the field and vow that no one will come into our stadium and beat us.”

The coach said the school has outstanding facilities for its athletes.

“Englewood’s facilities are second to none,” he said. “I was impressed with the quality of the weight room and the gym. They are top-quality facilities.

Englewood also is special because the Pirates play their home games in their home stadium. Few schools except private schools have their own stadium.”

When asked about academics, Campbell said the athletes are students first and he wants all players to work hard in the classroom.

“We will start practice about 4:15 p.m. because I will be teaching at Arapahoe during the season. There is a classroom right below the weight room in the gym, so I will urge all our players to go there after school to study and work on their homework,” Campbell said. “I am a teacher and I believe in education so I expect my students to work as hard in the classroom as they do on the field so they complete their work, hand it in on time and earn good grades.”

A parent asked how he would gain the trust of his players.

“I believe the key to gaining the trust of the players is to let each athlete know I care about them and respect him,” Campbell said. “When a player does something right, you give him a pat on the back. When he makes a mistake, you let him know it, tell him how to do it right, give him a hug and send him back on the field to it properly.”

Pirate sophomore Gabe Torres was one of the athletes at the meeting planning to play football in the fall.

“I like what the coach had to say,” he said. “I learned a lot about him and his coaching plans. I know that I am excited to begin working with him and getting ready to play football in September.”

homes to the east and the City Ditch, a human-made waterway that runs through Englewood, Littleton and Denver, to the west. An industrial area of the city sits across the waterway to the west.

The process of whether the city approves or denies the application will likely take four to six months, according to a city document.

First, the neighborhood meeting allows the developer to hear input and questions from neighbors and introduces the neighborhood to the development concept. The second step is for the formal planned-unit development (PUD) application to be submitted to the city.

Next, the city’s Planning and Zoning Commission, an appointed group of citizens, hears input from residents in a public hearing.

The commission then has the choice to recommend that city council approve the plan, deny it or approve it with conditions — suggestions of what should be changed.

Finally, citizens can comment in another public hearing before city council. Council then has two rounds of voting — or two “readings” — to decide whether to approve, approve

technically choose a mayor without a seventh member seated, but that’s “highly unlikely,” and the council prefers to make the appointment before selecting a mayor, Keck said.

If city council can’t decide who to appoint by majority vote before the deadline, though, a special election would be triggered.

However it happens, the new representative will enter a divided environment — carried over from the last city council — between returning councilmembers Amy Martinez and Olson, and Russell and Barrentine. The latter pair espouse strict constructionist views — in other words, they focus on the exact wording of laws — and the former pair tend to be more open to interpretation. The latter also are averse to what they characterize as cases of wasting taxpayers’ money, while Olson’s and Martinez’s arguments indicate they are more comfortable with government spending.

Of the two new members, Dave Cuesta, in arguments at meetings and in District 1 preferences, has aligned himself with Barrentine and Russell, and Cheryl Wink with Olson and Martinez.

The split was reflected in the declaration of whom each councilmember preferred for the open District 1 seat.

Olson, Martinez and Wink all said Othoniel Sierra and Scott Danford are their top two choices, while Barrentine, Russell and Cuesta gave Andrea Manion and Carson Green as their top two.

Sierra is a member of the Citizens Alliance for a Sustainable Englewood (CASE), a group that asked the city

The single-family home at 1327 W. Tufts Ave. in Englewood Jan. 19. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom house built in 1955 sits on a 1.19 acre lot. A proposal to rezone the property would clear the way for five structures containing for-sale duplexes, each unit with a two-car garage, and a street on the property for driveway access.

ELLIS ARNOLD with conditions or deny the plan.

For both public hearings, the city publishes a notice and posts at the property the hearing date.

“This is an interesting application in that it is generating substantial opposition from the neighborhood in which it has been proposed,” said Eric Keck, Englewood city manager.

Residents in the area “are concerned that the proposed duplex (homes) are not in harmony with the single-family detached homes to the east.”

Areas like 1327 W. Tufts Ave. that sit in a transitional area between industrial and residential land have seen pressure to be redeveloped before in the same part of the city and have

met similar resistance about what residents say are incompatible housing types, Keck said. A 2017 proposal involving an apartment building along West Quincy Avenue and South Navajo Street — just a few blocks north — was abandoned by the developer, Keck said.

“There is no doubt that we have seen a lot of interest in duplex development within the city, but this has mainly occurred in the R-2 zone and not the R1-A zone such as this one,” Keck said.

R-2 zones are areas of low-to-medium density residential areas where singleand multi-dwelling units can be built.

The R-1-A zones, found in the southwest and far northeast parts of the city, are areas of single-unit residential homes with large lots.

Rebecca Betancourt, a resident who lives nearby around Tufts Avenue and South Jason Street, said as long as the proposal is well planned, it would benefit the neighborhood.

“We need more good housing for people,” said Betancourt, who came to the meeting. “This isn’t a high-density apartment.”

As long as the neighborhood streets aren’t congested and is kept clear and safe, Betancourt said she’d be satisfied.

“We’ve lived in the neighborhood since 2003,” Betancourt said. “We love it there, but it’s also understandable that growth is inevitable.”

Danford is a board member of the Englewood Chamber of Commerce and a franchise owner and marketing consultant for Welcomemat Services, which provides direct-mail packages with marketing materials from local businesses to new residents of an area. Before that, he had a career across several telecommunications companies.

Manion is a youth mentor for Goodwill Industries and the owner of Manion and Associates LLC. She prepares tax returns for corporations and individuals and offers accounting services. She was a tax analyst for Xcel Energy and an accountant for Arapahoe County. The city budget and saving for infrastructure needs are among the most important issues for Manion.

Green is president of CyGen Technologies, a company he helped build that sells software to businesses. He is the former chair of the Englewood Board of Adjustment and Appeals, a quasi-judicial board that reviews variance requests and appeals of the city’s zoning regulations and building codes.

Other candidates include Danna Liebert, a former documentary producer; Hilary Lenz, program director for A Little Help, a nonprofit that helps provide services to seniors; and Mark Hessling, production manager for Social Capital Advertising.

City council interviewed candidates the week before the meeting, and video recordings of those interviews are accessible on Englewood’s website in the “city council agendas and minutes” section.
