Cosmetology class cuts summer short Students in Englewood program remain in school through June By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com While silence bathed the classrooms and halls at Colorado’s Finest High School of Choice, the hum of dryers and the click of scissors filled the air in the cosmetology academy area. “The cosmetology course is a two-year program. We have
31 students in their first year of training and 24 in the second year of training,” said Kim Kersen, one of the course instructors. “The students attend class four hours a day during the school year and are here with us for eight hours a day during June.” Instructor Michelle Hickey said the Englewood school works with Arapahoe Community College, so students completing the course receive 60 hours of college credit. The training also prepares students to take and pass the state licens-
ing examination. “We opened in 2014 and taught esthetics, which is skin care,” she said. “Sixteen students graduated from that course. All but two of those students earned their license and are still working in the industry.” The students each have a position that resembles a station at a hair salon. Most students practice their skills on the hair attached to Styrofoam heads. The hair gets colored, curled and shampooed regularly. School continues on Page 5

More than 450 cars took over the lawn of Arapahoe Community College on June 5 for the 33rd annual Colorado Concours d’Elegance & Exotic Sports Car Show. Cars at the show included some of the rarest in the world and ranged from a
1925 Rolls Royce owned by Herb Goede up to brand new McLaren supercars. Stim Kennedy and Tom Scott of the Rocky Mountain Region Porsche Club of America began the event in Denver in 1983. Proceeds from it benefit Ability Connection Colorado, formerly Cerebral Palsy of Colorado. One very rare car at the show was
Lewis Kling’s 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL, iconic for its gullwing doors. “I have 11 cars and this is my favorite,” Kling said. This year’s show attracted nearly 16,000 people, organizers said. A pair of special cars didn’t have to
