5 things to know: LPS students head back to school Full-day kindergarten, bond projects and elections on the horizon

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

W

rap up that back-to-school shopping, because classes start at Littleton Public Schools on Aug. 16. Here are five things to know before the first bell rings.

Full-day kindergarten begins Kindergartners across the district will have access to tuitionfree full-day kindergarten this fall, after the Colorado Legislature passed House Bill 19-1262 this spring.

LPS previously offered tuition-free full-day kindergarten at five schools, but new state funding expands the program across the district.

Research suggests kids who attend full-day kindergarten develop better academic and social skills, according to an LPS news release.

“Full-day kindergarten for all students has been a priority for LPS elementary principals for many years,” said Kathleen Ambron, the district’s director of elementary education. “A full-day program allows us to really get to know our youngest learners and meet the individual needs of students.”

New athletic facilities ready for play Student athletes will find updated facilities at several schools, part of a sweeping $298 million bond approved by voters last fall that will see changes across the district.

Arapahoe High School, Heritage High School and Euclid Middle School all got one artificial turf field this summer, which district officials say will be safer and more durable. Each high school will have one lighted practice field.

Powell and Goddard middle schools will get artificial turf fields this fall, and more will be added at the district’s high schools and middle schools will be added in coming summers.

Newton Middle School will also get a junior stadium, but construction on that facility won’t start until summer of 2020.

The improved athletic facilities are welcome changes, said Terry Davis, the district’s director of operations, as athletics are growing in popularity.

“When these buildings were built, we didn’t have lacrosse or girl’s soccer,” Davis said. “Now, we don’t just have more sports, but we have more levels in each sport.”

Programs are being moved ahead of construction This part gets confusing, so follow along carefully: As part of the 2018 bond, Ames Elementary, which has housed a preschool and TLC Meals on Wheels for the past 10 years, will be torn down and rebuilt,

at which point it will become an elementary school. The demolition is currently underway in phases, with TLC expected to move out just before Christmas.

The preschool previously housed at Ames has been moved to Highland Elementary, where it will occupy a new temporary wing alongside elementary students, until Highland becomes solely an early childhood education center.

That won’t happen until Franklin Elementary is replaced with a new building, which isn’t expected to happen until 2021 or 2022, though this year will be status quo for Highland students.

Newton Middle School will also get a new facility and see its current building torn down, but construction won’t start until next summer.

Lots more bond work being done There’s lots more action on the 2018 bond going on around the district. A sampling: Projects to improve access for students with disabilities are ongoing districtwide, with Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant restrooms going in at Centennial Academy, Peabody Elementary and Littleton High School.

ADA-compliant ramps are being added at numerous schools.

Littleton Preparatory Academy is getting a new roof.

Four schools are getting kitchen upgrades.

Arapahoe High School’s pool is getting a new HVAC system.

Assessments are ongoing at the Ralph Schomp dealership beside Littleton High School, which is slated to become a Career and Technology Education center in coming years.

Studies and training are underway for planned new furniture and fixtures that will encourage collaborative classroom instruction.

Elections are coming Two seats are up for grabs on Littleton Public Schools’ fiveseat board of education this fall.

Board secretary Robert Reichardt will seek reelection, but assistant secretary Jim Stephens will not, as his family plans to move out-of-state, according to an LPS news release.

In addition to Reichardt, three other candidates have declared: Christine Copp, Lindley McCrary and Jessica Roe. As of the Aug. 1 campaign contribution filing deadline, neither Copp nor McCrary had reported any donations.

Reichardt reported campaign contributions of $1,500, while Jessica Roe — who made headlines last spring as the face of a largely anonymous coalition alleging a toxic culture at Arapahoe High School — reported contributions of nearly $3,500, with the vast majority coming out of her own pocket.

The last LPS board election, in 2017, was canceled due to a lack of candidates.

Software architect announces council run Bill Schwanitz, 54, becomes fourth candidate for one of two at-large seats

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Littleton software architect Bill Schwanitz announced a bid for an atlarge seat on city council this fall.

Schwanitz, 54, is currently working as a consultant software architect for a cable TV company, he said. He holds a bachelor’s degree in management information Schwanitz systems from Bowling Green State University in Ohio.

Schwanitz, a father of two, moved to Littleton a decade ago and said he fell in love with the “small-town feel.”

“Some things really struck me when I came to Littleton,” Schwanitz said.

“The friendliness of neighbors. The beautiful historic structures. I’ve done my best to keep those going — I say hi to people on the street. My family and I rehabbed a hundred-plus-year-old

farmhouse that we now call home. I’d like to continue to give back on city council.”

Schwanitz said if he was elected, he’d like to focus on traffic, and explore instituting regulations on traffic noise. He’d also like to help preserve historic structures.

“I’d like to see zoning nailed down to the point that citizens can understand it, and so it’s crystal clear for developers. I know council is moving in that direction, and I’d love to continue that.”

Schwanitz said his experience as the president of a board of directors for a preschool taught him the importance of budgeting.

Schwanitz, who had not yet filed a candidate affidavit with the city as of July 31, is the fourth candidate to declare for one of two at-large seats up for grabs on city council this fall.

Jerry Valdes will defend his seat in District 2, the city’s northeast quadrant, against challenger Kathleen Eckel.

As of Aug. 1, no candidates had yet declared their intention to run for District 4, the city’s southwest quadrant.

The seat is open this fall as its current representative, Mayor Debbie Brinkman, is term-limited.

Congressman hears calls for help on housing, traffic Littleton needs affordable housing, costly highway projects, mayor tells Crow

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Federal dollars are crucial to addressing Littleton’s housing, traffic and water concerns, city officials told U.S. Rep. Jason Crow on July 31.

Crow represents Colorado’s 6th Congressional district, which rings Denver’s northern, eastern and southern suburbs, stretching from Thornton through Brighton, Aurora, Centennial, Highlands Ranch and Littleton.

Crow visited Littleton as part of a districtwide listening tour.

Littleton has made good use of federal Community Development Block Grants in recent years, City Manager Mark Relph told Crow, though previously the grants have been prioritized toward infrastructure improvements. Going forward, Relph said, Littleton would like to redirect some of the grants toward affordable housing programs like South Metro Housing Options.

Littleton, like much of the Front Range, is struggling with the impacts of high housing costs, Mayor Debbie Brinkman told Crow. Much of the city’s new housing stock is high-priced and does little to address the lack of workforce housing, she said.

Littleton Mayor Debbie Brinkman, left, points out obstructions in the South Platte River at Reynold’s Landing to Rep. Jason Crow on July 31. Brinkman told Crow, who was visiting the city as part of a listening tour, that federal red tape has held up river improvement projects.

DAVID GILBERT “Land prices are high, and developers want to make their money back,” Brinkman told Crow. “As much as we love our little downtown, keeping it thriving is a challenge if nobody who works there can afford to live nearby.

We need to get more dense housing in some places.”

Federal cash will also be necessary to overhaul the intersection of Santa Fe Drive and Mineral Avenue, said Public Works Director Keith Reester.

Though the city recently landed a $9 million grant to improve conditions at the clogged crossing, the ultimate fix — a flyover like the one at Santa Fe and Belleview Avenue — could cost more than $90 million. Much of that

money would likely need to come from the federal level, Reester told Crow.

“At the end of the day, who loses?”

Brinkman said about congestion at the intersection. “It’s the people who want to live, work and play in Littleton.”

Tackling federal red tape will also help Littleton and other partners in the South Platte Working Group rework sections of the South Platte River, Brinkman told Crow.

The South Platte Working Group and its partners at the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District, who manage the river, are waiting on a long-delayed signoff on a permit from the Army Corps of Engineers, which

has final say on water projects, Brinkman said. The local groups would like to rework rapids and pools in the river to provide better recreational opportunities, Brinkman said, but “you can’t move a rock in here without the Army Corps saying it’s OK.” Crow said he was happy to write letters of support to federal agencies to bolster Littleton’s applications for federal money, and said he would see what he could do about the South Platte permit delay.

Littleton’s situation of grappling with housing, traffic and water puts it in good company, Crow said, because those are primary concerns along the entire Front Range.

“These are the issues that really determine whether a community can thrive and be accessible to everybody,” Crow said.

Crow said he’s focusing on municipal-level issues in the face of Washington gridlock, where Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has declined to bring hundreds of bills passed by the House of Representatives for a vote before the Senate.

“It’s extremely frustrating to see the lack of progress on the Senate side and to not have a partner willing to work with us,” Crow said. “But one of the things I love about government at the city level is you have leaders who have to get the job done. If the trash doesn’t get picked up and the potholes don’t get filled, people feel that.”

Reverse Mortgage: No Monthly Payment, Get Cash & Pay Off Your Mortgage

I

s your mortgage payment “strangling” you? Are you worried about which bills to pay on your fixed income? Is there no joy in the Golden years because your budget is so tight? A reverse mortgage may be the answer you have been seeking.

A government insured loan product that allows you to pay off your current mortgage thereby eliminating your monthly mortgage payment can provide the budget breathing-room you need.

Taxes and homeowner’s insurance must still be paid, but many seniors have found that not only can they eliminate their mortgage payment, they can also get tax-free cash to use for any purpose.

Even if you don’t have a mortgage, you may be “house rich and cash poor.” You have paid into your home for many years and have accumulated housing wealth that can only be accessed if you sell. But now a reverse mortgage will allow you to access the equity in your home while you continue to own the home so you can get

e

cash and make life a little easier.

Get the correct facts. There is a lot of wrong information floating around about reverse mortgages. With a reverse mortgage, no one owns the home but you, and no debt is passed on to your heirs. You will still have substantial equity in your home, and can sell at any time.

Call your local Reverse Mortgage Specialist for more information on your situation and to see if this program will benefit you. You owe it to yourself and your family to know your options, with accurate facts.

Sewer rates slated to climb amid new state regulations Littleton sitting on millions to pay for mandates at jointly owned plant, but Englewood has no savings in sewer fund

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The wastewater treatment plant that serves a large swath of the south metro area needs millions of dollars in upgrades to meet tightening state water quality standards, but the two cities responsible for paying are on vastly different financial footings.

Littleton and Englewood jointly own South Platte Water Renewal Partners, formerly known as the Littleton/Englewood Wastewater Treatment Plant.

The sprawling sewage plant beside the South Platte River near Dartmouth Avenue serves 300,000 people over 108 square miles. Littleton and Englewood split up the job of collecting fees from users in 19 “connector districts,” including areas like Sheridan, Greenwood Village and Bow Mar, and stretching into Jefferson and Douglas counties. The connector districts all impose their own fees on top of the base rate to pay for maintenance of their own

The plant needs $58 million in upgrades over the next five years, partly to comply with state laws passed in recent years that will require a reduction in phosphorous and nitrogen flowing from the treatment facility into the river, plant director Pieter Van Ry told the two cities’ councils during a joint meeting on July 25. The funds will also pay for a variety of other physical upgrades at the plant, such as to electrical systems, buildings, disinfection

systems, and revamping a system to thicken solid waste.

Spending on physical upgrades to the plant has been climbing in recent years, budgets show, as the plant addresses deferred maintenance costs and works to meet a variety of stricter state and federal laws governing water quality.

By the end of this year, Littleton and Englewood will have paid off the $8 million cost of the plant’s biogas project, Van Ry said, which will capture methane gas and sell it to Xcel Energy as

part of a federal program. Current projections predict that the biogas project will pay for itself in four to seven years, at which point plant officials expect it will begin turning a profit. The equipment to capture methane, a greenhouse gas which the plant currently burns off, is expected to become functional in September.

While Littleton is sitting on more than $20 million in reserves that it plans to use to help foot the bill for the upcoming physical upgrades including the water-quality mandates, Englewood has no reserves in its sewer fund.

Littleton will likely use up its reserves to pay for the upgrades, officials said.

Both cities are undertaking rate studies to determine how to charge customers going forward, and while Littleton is anticipating sewer rate increases of 3% to 4% per year for the next five years to make up the difference not covered by its reserves, Englewood isn’t yet sure what it will take to cover its share of the bill.

“Rates are going to have to go up, but by how much I have no idea,” Englewood Mayor Linda Olson said.

Take me to the river The plant is tasked with complying with two mandates set by the Colorado Water Quality Control Division, which regulates wastewater treatment plants, Van Ry told the councils.

Downtown becomes racetrack for Criterium

Cyclists in the Men’s 40+ race lean into Turn 1 at Main Street and Sycamore Street.

owntown Littleton became a racetrack on Aug. 3, as the 7th annual Twilight Criterium saw 140 professional bicyclists — and more than a few amateurs — fly down city streets.

The race was the second-to-last of 10 pro street track races in the national series, with the final held Aug. 10 in Pennsylvania.

While cyclists hit speeds of up to 30 mph around a tight 10-block track, spectators lounged in sidewalk cafes or grooved to live music at Bega Park.

Hillary and Matt Allen of Parker, who dropped their kids off at a baby-

sitter in Centennial on the way over, said they were pleasantly surprised by how family-friendly the event was.

“Next year I think we’ll bring the kids,” Matt said.

“Although I won’t lie, it’s nice having a date night,” Hillary added.

Littleton’s race was a great one, said Emma Bast of Washington, D.C., who competed in the women’s professional race.

“You guys have fun crowds here,” Bast said. “This is one of few in the series where the women are actually racing at twilight — it makes it harder to see, so that’s an added challenge. That and the altitude!”

Regulations 85 and 31 both require reductions in the amounts of nitrogen and phosphorous that flow out of the plant and into the South Platte River, said Blair Corning, the plant’s deputy director of environmental programs.

Regulation 85 requires the plant to cut its nitrogen discharge to 15 milligrams per liter (mg/l) or below by the year 2023, Corning said, while phosphorous discharge must be reduced to 1 mg/l or below by 2023.

Currently, the plant faces nitrogen limits that fluctuate depending on the flow in the river. The mg/l limit was in the low 40s toward the end of July, with the plant’s discharge in the neighborhood of 20 mg/l. The plant currently has no limit on phosphorous discharge, with current discharges at roughly 3 mg/l.

Regulation 31 is even stricter than 85, requiring nitrogen to be cut to 2 mg/l or below, and phosphorous to 0.17 mg/l or below, by the year 2032, Corning said.

Regulation 31, however, has a builtin incentive program, which allows the plant to delay implementation by voluntarily stepping down discharge amounts in the meantime. If the plant hits a series of targets over the next several years, it can push back Regulation 31 compliance well into the 2040s.

Meeting the new standards will require a variety of new equipment and processes, Van Ry said, includ-

August 8, 2019A ing injectors that will add chemicals to the treatment process to capture nitrogen and phosphorous.

Reducing phosphorous and nitrogen is important to prevent harmful algae blooms downstream, said Nicole Rowan, manager of the Clean Water Program for the Colorado Water Quality Control Division. Blooms can harm aquatic life by using up oxygen and can cause foul tastes and odors in drinking water for downstream cities.

The waterquality mandates have been in the works for years, Rowan said, and South Platte Water Renewal Partners has been an active and engaged participant in the public process to develop the regulations.

“This is something that nearly every wastewater facility in every state is working on right now,” Rowan said.

on new sewer lines. The funds are drawn from the cities and the numerous connector districts, meaning residents of Littleton, with a population of roughly 47,000, and Englewood, with a population of roughly 35,000, actually represent the minority of rate payers. Both Littleton and Englewood have their own sewer budgets, which are enterprise funds, meaning they are funded solely by users and are exempt from revenue caps imposed on other funds by the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights.

Littleton and Englewood are each contractually obligated to pay half the cost of capital Linda Olson improvements Englewood Mayor at the plant.

Littleton managed to save up more than $20 million in reserves largely thanks to its tap fees, said City Manager Mark Relph.

“The financial status of our sewer fund is in great shape,” Relph said. “We’ve been anticipating this, and we’re ready to meet the challenge.”

Littleton will likely use up most

‘I don’t think we’ve kept up with the pace of costs,’ Olson, the mayor, said.

‘We’ve been averse to raising fees on anything, and then we’re stuck. It’s not the way to do it when there are rising costs.’

Paying for it Littleton and Englewood split the cost of operating the sewage plant, with funds coming from sewer bills and “tap fees” which are charged

of its sewer reserves to pay for the capital projects, said Littleton finance director Tiffany Hooten, and its connector districts will likely see incremental sewer bill increases of 3% to 4% per year. The city may have to incur debt once the reserves are used up, she said.

“It really doesn’t concern me,” Hooten said. “We’re in the best position we could be to cash-fund these projects.”

Englewood, however, has no reserves, and has just half a million dollars in available funds in its 2019 sewer budget.

“I don’t think we’ve kept up with the pace of costs,” Olson, the mayor, said. “We’ve been averse to raising fees on anything, and then we’re stuck. It’s not the way to do it when there are rising costs.”

Littleton’s tap fees are far higher than Englewood’s, starting at $5,000 and ranging up to more than $3 million, according to the city’s website.

Comparable tap fees in Englewood start at $1,200 and range up to $48,000.

Englewood also hasn’t had as much development as Littleton in recent years, Olson said.

What the capital projects mean for rate payers isn’t yet known, Olson said, and for the time being, they’ll have to wait for the outcome of Englewood’s rate study, expected to be complete by summer 2020.

“Rates will be going up,” Olson said. “We’ve tried to raise rates incrementally in the past. I hope it’s not a spike.”

Brewability prepares to take over Brew on Broadway location Brewery employs adults with disabilities, September opening is goal

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The space that formerly held the Brew on Broadway at 3445 S. Broadway in Englewood is on track to become Brewability, a brewery that will offer a variety of beers and has plans to employ workers with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Tiffany Fixter is moving Brewability from a light industrial area in northeast Denver — where the business lost its lease and closed in mid-June — to Englewood. She hopes to open in the Englewood location by early September.

Fixter also owns Pizzability, a pizza restaurant in Cherry Creek North that employs people with disabilities, and she stays busy running it.

Fixter has a background as a special education teacher for over five years and ran a day program for one year before opening

Brewability in 2016.

The brewery that is relocating to Englewood has followed a similar business model as Pizzability in employing adults with disabilities.

Patrons of the Englewood establishment will have a choice of ordering beers when visiting the brewery and possibly food.

“My goal for downtown Englewood is to make it the most accessible two to three blocks in the state,” said Fixter, whose father is a graduate of Englewood High School. She says she has talked to nearby eateries such as Whiskey Biscuit, One Barrel and Chop Shop about offering Braille menus to those with vision-related disabilities.

Tanner Schneller, Brewability’s brewer, said the brewery isn’t sure of how many people it will employ.

He hopes to have at least 10 beers on tap and obtain a brewpub license — addi-

tional licensing is required before opening at its new location. Schneller envisions Brewability customers having the option of ordering wine or cider at the brewery.

“It’s important to incorporate something that everybody enjoys via pizza or beer and provide an opportunity for adults who otherwise wouldn’t have an opportunity to work.

The whole goal of our business is to employ as many people as we can or that we can afford,” said Schneller.

“That’s the point of what we’re doing.”

The Brew on Broadway, which opened in 2013 and helped set the stage for the up-and-coming 3400 block of South Broadway, closed July 31.

“As (Brew on Broadway) was a local hangout for many Englewood residents, I’m sure this community will welcome Brewability with open arms,” said David Carroll, executive director for the Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce, which Tanner Schneller, Brewability’s brewer, said he hopes Brewability will have 10 works to help Englewood beers on tap when it reopens in Englewood. businesses succeed.

Despite calls to start over, U.S. health system covers 90% Trump, some Democrats work to upend current insurance situation

BY RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR ASSOCIATED PRESS

America’s much-maligned health care system is covering 9 out of 10 people, a fact that hasn’t stopped the 2020 presidential candidates from refighting battles about how to provide coverage, from Bernie Sanders’ call for replacing private insurance with a government plan to President Donald Trump’s pledge to erase the Affordable Care Act and start over.

The politicians are depicting a system in meltdown. The numbers point to a different story, not as dire and more nuanced.

Government surveys show that about 90% of the population has coverage, largely preserving gains from President Barack Obama’s years.

Independent experts estimate that more than one-half of the roughly 30 million uninsured people in the country are eligible for health insurance through existing programs.

Lack of coverage was a growing problem in 2010 when Democrats under Obama passed his health law. Now the bigger issue seems to be that many people with insurance are struggling

to pay their deductibles and copays.

“We need to have a debate about coverage and cost, and we have seen less focus on cost than we have on coverage,” said Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet.

He is among the Democratic presidential candidates who favor building on the current system, not replacing it entirely, as does Sanders.

“The cost issue is a huge issue for the country and for families,” Bennet said.

A report this year by the Commonwealth Fund think tank in New York found fewer uninsured Americans than in 2010 but more who are “underinsured,” a term that describes policyholders exposed to high out-ofpocket costs, when compared with their individual incomes. The report estimated 44 million Americans were underinsured in 2018, compared with 29 million in 2010 when the law was passed. That’s about a 50% increase, with the greatest jump among people with employer coverage.

“When you have 90% of the American people covered and they are drowning in their health care bills, what they want to hear from politicians are plans that will address their health care costs, more than plans that will cover the remaining 10 percent,” said Drew Altman, president of the Kaiser Family Foundation, a nonpartisan research organization that tracks the health care system. “When

Democrats talk about universal coverage more than health care costs, they are playing to the dreams of activists and progressives ... much less to the actual concerns of the 90% who have coverage today.”

Sanders’ office responds that the Vermont senator’s “Medicare for All” plan would solve both the coverage and cost problems for individual Americans. Medical care would be provided with no deductibles or copays. No one would be uninsured or underinsured.

“The simple answer is that our health care system becomes more unmanageable for more and more Americans every year,” Sanders spokesman Keane Bhatt said in a statement. “This is not a system that needs a few tweaks. This is a system that needs a complete overhaul.”

But other countries that provide coverage for all and are held up by Sanders as models for the U.S. don’t offer benefits as generous as he’s proposing. If he is elected president, there’s no way of telling how his plan would emerge from Congress, or even whether something like it could pass.

Four other 2020 Democrats are cosponsors of Sanders’ bill: Sens. Cory Booker of New Jersey, Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, Kamala Harris of California, and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts.

On the other side of the political spectrum, Trump is talking about

big changes. His administration is seeking to have federal courts declare the entire Obama-era health care law unconstitutional, jeopardizing coverage for 20 million people, jettisoning protections for patients with preexisting conditions, and upending the rest of the 970-page statute, now nearly 10 years old.

The president says there’s nothing to worry about. Earlier this summer Trump told ABC News that he was working on a plan that would provide “phenomenal health care,” protect people with preexisting conditions, and would be “less expensive than `Obamacare’ by a lot.”

White House spokesman Judd Deere said in a statement that the Obama law was “sold and passed on a litany of broken promises” and now “Democrats are proposing even more radical government takeovers of our health care system.”

As president-elect, Trump promised a health plan but never offered one upon taking office. Instead he backed bills from congressional Republicans, including one he called “mean” during a private meeting.

Trump says he might come out with his new plan within months, but that passing it would hinge on his getting reelected and Republicans winning back the House in 2020 while keeping control of the Senate.

H&R Block provides training and opportunity for seasonal employment Are you a stay at home parent reentering the workforce? Are you facing retirement but want to stay active? Or, are you currently employed, but looking to supplement your income? H&R Block has a program aimed at training seasonal workers interested in becoming tax preparers.

H&R Block District Manager, Tom Chesson, met with other managers in the Denver-based district to discuss opportunities for the 2020 tax season. Those opportunities offer a great program where professionals like teachers, newly-retired residents and stay-at-home moms can work for two and three months a year and be fulfilled. It’s also a great opportunity because H&R Block provides the training.

“The Income Tax Training course is a great program for people looking for a new opportunity with flexible hours” Chesson said. “You are not expected to memorize 65,000 pages of tax code. We are looking for professionals who enjoy

working with people and are excited to learn.”

H&R Block is the second-largest provider of adult learning in the U.S., offering a 72-hour training course taught by local experts. The great thing about the classes is they work around everyone’s schedule, offering daytime, evening and weekend sessions.

H&R Block was recently recognized by Forbes magazine as one of the “Best Employers for Diversity” and “Best Employers for Women”.

In talking about the success of the program, Chesson said it’s great to get new tax preparers from a variety of backgrounds. Enrollment for the “Income Tax Training Course” is now active and classes begin at the end of August.

For the 2020 tax season, H&R Block will add more than 100 seasonal tax preparers and team leaders to their Denver teams.

VOICES

Guys, please stop wearing clown shoes with cleats

ingling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey may have gone out of business, but there are still plenty of clowns to go around.

QUIET They perform in the National FootDESPERATION ball League, and provide adoring fans with all kinds of non-footballrelated antics.

The season is still around the corner, but some players are in mid-season shenanigan form.

Craig Marshall One of the Jacksonville Jaguars, Smith Jalen Ramsey, arrived at camp in an armored car,

surrounded by phony bank money bags.

When the rear doors were opened, he was introduced by comedian Ha Ha Davis, who said, “It’s time to get this money, money.”

Ramsey is stuck with a $13.7 million contract for 2019, and he feels like he deserves much more.

Out west, Antonio Brown, a member of the Oakland Raiders, arrived to training camp in a hot air balloon.

These are exactly the kind of guys I’d like to have on my team. If I were organizing a vaudeville show in Benson.

In pro football — and elsewhere in sport (including the United States women’s national soccer team) — there is a lot of theater that goes on before, during, and after a game that

didn’t used to be there.

It probably is appreciated by younger fans (than I am).

Professional golf is still safe, but just about everywhere else there are choreographed celebrations and self-aggrandizement galore.

I say: Score a touchdown and hand the ball to the referee. Don’t signal your buddies to meet you in the end zone, form a circle, and do a tribute to Don Cornelius.

Humble, apparently, went out with Uriah Heep.

Ramsey has been a professional football player for two years. He signed a $23.3 million rookie contract.

He is in the third year of the contract, and I guess he thinks $13.7 million simply isn’t enough of a reward for a two-time Pro Bowl cornerback.

Davis, the comedian who introduced Ramsey, yelled, “The man, the myth, Jalen Ramsey,” and a string of “He’s so good” jokes that were as funny as the Mueller hear- G ing.

Last week, a friend sent me a YouTube of personalities who have died in 2019, and among them were Bart Starr, John Havlicek, Don N Newcombe and Bill Buckner, none of whom arrived to camp in a hot air balloon.

Times change. Expectations change.

Turn high-speed thinking into highly motivated action

here is certainly no shortage of ideas these days. As a matter of fact, we typically come up with more ideas than we really need. And the more ideas we generate, the more excited we get about putting them into practice.

What I am seeing more and more of is some very high-speed thinking.

The problem is that I am also seeing some WINNING low functioning and less motivated doing. WORDS Brainstorming is one of my very favorite exercises to participate in. Sometimes I find myself working through ideas on my own and challenging myself to come up with as many possible new Michael Norton ideas or solutions as possible. However, what I enjoy more is being part of a group and having others share their ideas and what they are thinking. In most cases their contributions and line of thinking was something totally different than my own. And usually much smarter.

The problem is that our thinking never stops, there is always one more idea or new approach we want to think

through. One more shiny object to chase. This in turn creates the bigger problem, the “doing” actually does stop. As I explored this further, I found out some very interesting information.

As much as some people love innovative thinking and creativity, coming up with vision and strategy, they don’t like to do the work that it takes to execute or implement the idea. Unless of course, it was their own idea.

The other thing people shared with me was that in many cases of a team meeting or brainstorming session, the meeting ended with no clearly defined next steps or assigned ownership. They may have had a powerful thought-provoking session, but when it was over, the excitement that was generated in the room evaporated with everyone’s exit. Or it was assumed that someone would simply take ownership.

So how do we turn high speed thinking into highly motivated action? The answer isn’t found in the “Just do it” slogan. The answer is found in just two “doing” words, prioritization and accountability. As much as I enjoy spending time on an airplane filling up a page or two of ideas and strategy,

I always go back and prioritize everything on the pages. The next step is to put dates, names of team members or people who can help, desired outcomes, and most importantly I write down an immediate next step.

Having a very clearly defined next step forces prioritization and accountability. Too often we look for the endgame or result. We hit the fast-forward button and forget that in order to achieve our desired results, we must first know and take that very first step, that immediate next step.

And yes, having a plan beyond our immediate next step is super important, however, if we are talking about turning ourselves or our teams from high-speed thinkers driven by highly motivated action, we must start with the first action step.

Keep the ideas coming, creativity drives our innovation and growth.

Go-kart racing offers a rush around Denver metro area

ust off an inconspicuous industrial side street, kids as young as 5 and adults as old as 80 don helmets, strap on seatbelts and zip around like something out of a video game.

They’re racing go-karts at K1 Speed in Highlands Ranch, one of a handful of places in the Denver metro area where impassioned drivers, beginners and fun-seeking groups can test their skills on winding tracks.

“Karting is definitely a little different than your regular pool day,” said Nichole Sarno, K1’s assistant manager.

Christian Obrecht, a 47-year-old from Denver, built up a love for karting near Bandimere Speedway, a professional drag-racing track just west of Lakewood. And although Obrecht wasn’t racing full-sized cars, renting karts proved to be a lasting passion for him — eventually, he bought his own wheels.

“I started up just from actually watching a commercial one time, and I was like, ‘Oh, man, I kind of want to get into this,” Obrecht said.

Once he came back to a track with

“I didn’t even know how to get the thing off my truck. I was standing there — it was like my first day of school,” Obrecht said. “This guy was just walking by like, ‘Do you need help?’ Those are the guys I hang out with now to this day with kart racing.”

Obrecht now hopes to get his young son into racing, too, which won’t

be difficult with the metro area’s options. Action Karting, an outdoor track at the Bandimere Speedway near Highway C-470, touts itself as kid-friendly and an ideal place for first dates. K1 in Highlands Ranch sees events such as young girls’ birthday celebrations and bachelorette parties, Sarno said.

All Colorado Art Exhibit back for 36th year Littleton show held in intimate Depot Art Gallery

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Just inside the front door of the Depot Art Gallery is a colorful painting

by Desmond O’Hagan, who was 2019 juror for the All Colorado Art Exhibit, now in its 36th year. Looking at its fine details sets the tone for a visitor to this really pleasing — and varied — exhibit. It was open to all Coloradans and shows many ways of experiencing one’s world.

Any exhibit at this intimate gallery is limited in the size of works shown, but it draws a number of fine-tuned and, in some cases, beautifully crafted smaller works that are great to contemplate and just might be the very thing to fit in a visitor’s home. It’s especially hard not to touch some of these works, such as Eileen Flanigan’s

intricately etched brass “Kaleidoscope” — but please don’t!!!

O’Hagan awarded ribbons to artists at an Aug. 2 reception at the historic depot gallery and the show will continue through Aug. 24.

Best in show went to Joann Lavender’s oil painting, “Morning Sun on Pike’s Peak,” and it’s just one of several really skillful landscapes in the show. It summons up memories of those gorgeous early-in-the-day scenes we Coloradans treasure from past excursions. The ones that just make one stop and stare!

Up a few steps on the platform is the quirky first-place painting, “Neon Nuclear Duck,” by Jeff Velarde. What is the story here? One would enjoy a statement from the artist, although mostly, I’d prefer not to have a lot to read! A group of photographs includes Raj Manickam’s second-place photograph, “Dance and Drama,” portraying a lovely young dancer performing at the edge of a crowd. One can almost hear the accompanying music. Mary

green necklace to the right. (What could I wear with that?) Continue across the room to a square fabric piece showing a napping dog — “Vigil.” While I’ve never been a quilter, I was struck by the intricacy of this piece — look closely at the stitching.

Also in the back room is work by Artist of the Month Cele Bergstrom, who was the Littleton Fine Arts Guild member on hosting duty, along with member Forest Plesko, who declared this was the best exhibit he’d seen there. Note that you are invited to vote for a People’s Choice Award while at the Depot.

For area artists interested in a gallery home and new associates, I noted postcards saying there were openings for new members to this longtime local arts organization, which will present an “Outdoor Art Market” in Bega Park on Aug. 10, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., with a variety of unframed work and crafts … DepotArtGallery. org, 303-795-0781, 2069 W. Powers Ave., Littleton.

Holms’ mixed media painting, “Lawn Chairs,” is on a different track, as an example of Abstract Expressionism that won third place.

O’Hagan also awarded several honorable mentions: Andrew Woodward’s acrylic painting, “Flatiron Clouds”; Scott DeWeese’s “Red Vessel # 14”; and Jeanne Trueax’s pen and ink drawing, “Rocky Hillside.”

DeWeese’s intricately carved impressions of Native American basketry are an example of especially fine craftsmanship, as well as sensitive artistry. I was happy to see that the juror honored his work.

And across the middle room from those pieces is a pair of assemblage pieces that are a send-up of the trophy heads one sees around: Artist Susan Wechsler demonstrates really intricate craftsmanship in “Indy Blue Eyes,” a deer, and “Zelda,” a zebra. Be sure to stop and stare for a few moments.

Male drivers are a bit more common than females at K1, Sarno said, but they’re not far off in numbers.

“Our fastest is a 17-year-old guy; the next fastest is a 13-year-old girl,” said Sarno, referring to K1’s speed records.

Adult karts can reach about 45 mph, and manual — or “shifter” — karts can reach about 55 mph, while junior karts for kids run about 25 to 30 mph, Sarno said. And on tracks that allow personal, non-rental karts, Obrecht’s vehicle can reach about 100 mph.

Despite the high-energy atmosphere of karting, what Obrecht enjoys most is the mental clarity the repetition of the turns can bring.

“It’s all you’re thinking about when you’re doing it,” Obrecht said. “You’ll have a favorite turn, a not-so-favorite turn … My wife makes fun of me because she says, ‘You’re just going in a circle,’ but that alone clears your mind.”

Sarno’s favorite part is “the thrill of it” — as an employee at K1, she often drives the karts — but watching others speed around is satisfying, too.

“The excitement they get from it — a little girl beat her brother, a kid beat his dad,” Sarno said. “Watching people grow and find passion in karting is my favorite thing here.”

New development planned for Bowles Crossing Stores, restaurants and services planned for shopping center in Jefferson County STAFF REPORT

Retail stores, restaurants and service centers are part of new development plans for Bowles Crossing.

The plan also calls for a refreshed exterior and multi-family development near the shopping center at Bowles Avenue and Wadsworth Boulevard in Jefferson County.

“Bowles Crossing looks and feels very different than it did when we purchased the property in 2016, and have some exciting plans to continue the improvements to its curb appeal, as well as its overall development and expansion,” Taylor Alvey, vice president of leasing for Vestar, the Phoenix, Arizona, based company that manages the center, said in a news release. “In addition to our recently opened and upcoming stores and restaurants, we have a 240 units of multi-family housing breaking ground very soon, through our residential building partner Alliance. We’re confident that this

residential development will bring an influx of new traffic and investment to the area.”

The shopping center features more than 450,000 square feet of leasable space, serving a nearby resident population of more than 100,000, the news release said. It is home to an AMC Theater, Le Peep, Trader Joe’s, Ross, DSW, Burlington, Red Robin, Sweet Tomatoes and Gordman’s.

Recent and planned business openings include Corvus Coffee, Bishop’s, Garbanzo, Jimmy John’s, First Watch, Sleep Nation, Longhorn Steakhouse, Tuesday Morning, 303 Sports Grill and Vasa Fitness.

“These new developments are growing significant interest in the center, which is located in a fast-growing area. The corner of Wadsworth Boulevard and Bowles Avenue sees approximately 85,000 cars per day,” Alvey said in the release. “Our next focus for Bowles Crossing will be expanding our entertainment options. We want to create a real community hotspot that attracts local families and residents on many different levels.”

CONVERSATIONS Planning our future together

Arapahoe County needs your input Arapahoe County is one of the fastest growing counties in Colorado. And why wouldn’t it be? Our cities and communities feature some of the best quality of life our state has to offer.

But accommodating that success, and the growth it brings with it, requires careful analysis of our current situation and a focus on what’s best for all our residents going forward. It means planning our future together.

Mental Health Colorado names new president, CEO Vincent Atchity to lead organization in its mission to promote wellness STAFF REPORT

A new president and chief executive officer has been selected to lead Mental Health Colorado, an advocacy organization for mental health and substance use.

Vincent Atchity will provide strategic leadership to help Mental Health Colorado achieve its mission of promoting mental wellness, ending stigma, and ensuring equitable access to mental health and substance use services, according to a news release.

Atchity served as executive director of The Equitas Project, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization working to disentangle mental health and criminal justice by activating leaders, influencing policy, and spurring innovation. He was responsible for guiding start-up of the organization, leading public relations, and project expansion.

As an accomplished, collaborative leader in public health, Atchity’s multi-industry expertise will leverage a statewide network of partners in advocacy, health care, govern-

ment, education, public safety, and the justice system to drive systemic transformation to Colorado’s mental health landscape.

“Every Coloradan has a role to play in supporting improved mental health,” Atchity said in the news release. “There can be no passive waiting for someone somewhere else to do something. I look forward to joining Mental Health Colorado in continuing to advance collaborative, cross-sector efforts to improve mental health and access to quality care.”

In tandem with its partners, Mental Health Colorado’s 2019 policy efforts secured $20 million for mental health and substance use services and supports.

“We are very pleased to have Vincent Atchity join the Mental Health Colorado team,” Mental Health Colorado Director of Advocacy Moe Keller said in the release. “Vincent brings so much knowledge and passion around mental health, and we are looking forward to his leadership.

“From my previous years working with Vincent, I know his collaborative and inclusive style will serve us well.”

Shortly after the end of 2018, former president and CEO Andrew Romanoff stepped down after four years at the helm.

Metro-area Allstate offices collect school supplies Items collected will benefit elementary in Commerce City STAFF REPORT

Denver-area Allstate agency offices are asking residents to help students and teachers start the year off right by donating school supplies to benefit Kemp Elementary School in Commerce City.

The supply drive runs through Aug. 16. The most needed items are No. 2 pencils, disinfecting wipes, notebook paper, highlighters and backpacks.

New supplies can be dropped off at Allstate offices in Parker (10290 S. Progress Way, Ste. 204), Littleton (9032 W. Ken Caryl Ave., Ste. A-7B), Parker (11007 S. Parker Road); Greenwood Village (8933 E. Union Ave., Ste. 204); Wheat Ridge (6073 W. 44th Ave., Ste. 204); Aurora (6820 S. Liverpool St., Unit D); Denver (200 Quebec St., Build-

ing 600, Ste. 218); Lakewood (7586 W. Jewell Ave., Ste. 200); Aurora (941 S. Havana St.); and Littleton (10184 W. Belleview Ave., Ste. 210).

The school supply drive is part of a multi-state initiative of The Allstate Foundation’s program to ensure young people start school with the tools they need to succeed. The effort also helps educators to focus on preparing for the academic year instead of worrying about critical supply needs.

Each year, public school teachers spend nearly $500 of their own wages on supplies for their classrooms, according to the National Center for Education Statistics.

In honor of the Allstate agency owners’ volunteer efforts, the participating schools and youth groups will receive Allstate Foundation Helping Hands Grants to continue to help young people achieve success in and out of the classroom.

Denver Zoo welcomes African lion cub Dad Tobias’ arrival to Predator Ridge in 2018 proves fruitful for species survival plan STAFF REPORT

The birth of an African lion cub this summer has given Denver Zoo a lot to roar about.

The cub, whose sex has yet to be determined, was born July 25 to mom Neliah, 7, and dad Tobias, 3, according to a news release. Animal care staffers say mom and cub are both healthy and active, and are bonding behind the scenes in Benson Predator Ridge.

Although the cub won’t make his or her public debut until later this summer, guests can still catch a glimpse of Neliah and her cub on the TV screens during the daily 2 p.m. “Pahali Ya Simba” lion demonstration at Predator Ridge, the release said.

“This is Neliah’s second time around as a mom, so we were confident she’d show all the correct behaviors with her new cub,” assistant curator of predators Matt Lenyo said in the release. “She immediately started grooming and nursing the cub, which is exactly what we hoped she would do.”

An African lion cub was born this summer at Denver Zoo to mom Neliah, 7, and dad Tobias, 3. Although the cub won’t make his or her public debut until later this summer, guests can still catch a glimpse of Neliah and her cub on the TV screens in Pahali Ya Simba.

COURTESY OF DENVER ZOO peared in the past 25 years and the species faces growing threats from poaching, loss of prey and habitat destruction, the release said. The cub’s birth is a huge success for the Lion Species Survival Plan, which ensures healthy, genetically diverse popula-

tions of lions within Association of Zoos and Aquariums institutions, and is managed by Denver Zoo’s vice president for animal care, Hollie Colahan.

The species survival plan recommended that Tobias be moved to

Denver Zoo in 2018 as a potential mate for Neliah and her daughter, Kamara, and was introduced to the three lions in the zoo’s female pride.

“Tobias hasn’t fathered any cubs previously, which makes his genetics important to the AZA lion population,” said Colahan, who also serves as the program leader for the African Lion SAFE (Saving Animals from Extinction) Program. “The fact that he’s already successfully mated with one of our females speaks to the work our lion team put in to make Tobias feel comfortable in his new home in such a short period of time.”

Neliah and the cub will stay behind the scenes for at least one to two months to give them time to bond and gradually introduce the cub to the rest of the pride. They’ll primarily stay in their den box, which the animal care provides to mimic the space Neliah would seek out to give birth in the wild.

Neliah will still have access to other holding areas behind the scenes, but the addition of the den box gives her a sense of security for her and her cub.

In the meantime, footage of Neliah and the cub in their den box will be shown on the TV screens in the Pahali Ya Simba building in Benson Predator Ridge.

Follow Denver Zoo on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for regular updates and to find out when you can come see the cub for the first time.

New standards aim to improve surgery for the oldest patients New program urges adoption of standards to bring better outcomes for seniors

BY LAURAN NEERGAARD ASSOCIATED PRESS

The 92-year-old had a painful tumor on his tongue, and major surgery was his best chance. Doctors called a timeout when he said he lived alone, in a rural farmhouse, and wanted to keep doing so.

“It was ultimately not clear we could get him back there” after such a big operation, said Dr. Tom Robinson, chief of surgery at the VA Eastern Colorado Health Care System.

The Aurora hospital is trying something new: When their oldest patients need a major operation, what to do isn’t decided just with the surgeon but with a team of other specialists, to make sure seniors fully understand their options — and how those choices could affect the remainder of their lives.

It’s part of a move to improve surgical care for older Americans, who increasingly are undergoing complex operations despite facing higher risks than younger patients.

The American College of Surgeons launched a program July 19 to encourage hospitals around the country to adopt 30 new standards to optimize

surgery on patients who are 75 and older — information seniors and their families eventually will be able to use in choosing where to get care.

Seniors account for more than 40% of surgeries, which is expected to grow as the population ages. Certainly there are plenty of robust elders who can withstand major operations.

But as people get older, they don’t bounce back like they did even in middle age. Seniors rapidly lose muscle with even a short period in bed. They tend to have multiple illnesses that complicate recovery. And 15% of older adults who live at home — and a third of 80-somethings — face particular risks because they’re frail, meaning they’re weak, move slowly and get little physical activity.

The new standards emphasize teambased care and better communication about surgical risks and quality of life, to help patients choose their treatment.

They must be evaluated for vulnerabilities such as frailty, being prone to falls or having dementia, and the hospital must have plans to handle them. After surgery, standards run the gamut from geriatric-friendly hospital rooms — with non-skid floors and windows to help stay oriented to day and night — to preventing post-surgery complications like delirium, a frightening state of confusion that can impair recovery and cause long-term memory and thinking problems.

Some of the steps have long been rec-

ommended, “but we realized guidelines are just that — they’re suggestions.

The uptake of them in hospitals is pretty spotty,” said Dr. Ronnie Rosenthal of Yale University, who chaired the standards task force.

So the surgeons’ group, with funding from the John A. Hartford Foundation, created a geriatric surgery “verification program,” similar to programs credited with spurring trauma and pediatric surgery improvements. Hospital participation is voluntary, but those that join will be inspected and have to document how patients fare.

Eight hospitals including the Aurora VA tested the standards. Robinson already sees a difference: 1 in 4 patients change their original surgical plan after a team review, and more go home rather than needing at least a temporary stay in a nursing home or other facility.

Consider that 92-year-old with a tumor on his tongue. After consultations with speech and swallowing experts, and an evaluation of his house, Robinson said the man ultimately chose a smaller operation. The tumor and only part of the tongue were removed to relieve pain rather than trying for a cure, and he returned home.

“These are difficult conversations,” Robinson said. But choosing to spend, say, their last year at home rather than two in a nursing home, “those are trade-offs people are making.”

After surgery, the standards also focus on seniors’ special needs such as

maintaining mobility; prompt return of glasses and hearing aids to help keep patients oriented and able to follow care instructions; and steps to prevent delirium that include avoiding risky medications.

To implement them, Robinson’s hospital set up new nurse-led teams that check each older patient daily. For example, no more waiting for the surgeon to decide if physical and occupational therapy are needed; the nursing team puts that in place up front, explained geriatric nurse specialist Jennifer Franklin.

One of her team’s patients, George Barrett, 85, of Lakewood, is recovering from successful open-heart surgery, and being prepped to go to a cardiac rehabilitation facility to regain his strength.

“They told me about all the risks and I wanted to go ahead with it anyway,” Barrett said of the surgery. “I want to hang around.”

Even before any hospitals go through the quality-improvement program, the standards can offer guidance to seniors and their families in making surgical decisions. For example, make sure the patient’s vulnerabilities are discussed up front: If dad already needs a walker, will being in the hospital make him worse? And what will the hospital do to help?

Especially make clear the patient’s goals: “It’s most important they ask, `What will my life look like after?

What will I be able to do?’” said Yale’s Rosenthal.

CMIT Solutions opens new office A leader in information technology solutions dedicated to delivering IT support to small- and medium-sized businesses will open a new office to

serve the south metro Denver area.

CMIT Solutions focuses on developing and maintaining local, trust-based relationships with its customers, according to a news release. It provides flat-rate, around-the-clock maintenance and monitoring solutions.

“In running several businesses, I’ve often felt the frustration many leaders face trying to get the right technology to work effectively while avoiding costly down time,” Ron Loobeek, president of CMIT Solutions of South Metro Denver, said in the release. “I’ve launched this new business because I’ve found a way to level the playing field, giving all companies access to the tools, and support services Fortune 500 companies enjoy at an affordable price.”

CMIT Solutions of South Metro Denver is at 8200 S. Quebec St., Ste. A3744, Centennial. For information on CMIT Solutions of South Metro Denver and the services it offers, call 720-715-4800 or go to www.cmitsolutions.com/ south-metro-denver.

Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wisconsin, and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, tried for months to repeal and replace the Obama law, only to fail. The repeal effort was widely seen as contributing to Republicans losing the House in 2018.

Since then, many GOP lawmakers have tried to avoid the issue altogether.

Economist Sara Collins of the Commonwealth Fund, who led the study about underinsured Americans, says cost and coverage problems are intertwined. Citing the

Democrats’ debate over Medicare for All, she says what’s missing from that discussion is that “one doesn’t have to go that far in order to improve the financial situation for millions of people — you can do that with much more targeted, incremental policies.”

The Ridge branch will be managed

by Carol Pedigo, and the Meadows branch will be managed by Jason Cooper.

The pilot program was launched in 19 stores nationwide, according to a news release. Customers who bring in five or more pods can receive a coupon for 10 percent off their next purchase of Keurig K-Cup pods (24-pack or larger) from Office Depot.

Physical Therapy opened an outpatient clinic at 6202 S. Parker Road, Unit 500, Centennial. The clinic is open from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays and can be reached at 720-361-2304.

The clinic offers outpatient orthopedic physical therapy, including manual therapy, injury prevention, return to performance and total joint replacement programs. Other programs and treatments include TMD and complimentary screenings.

Rocky Mountain Spine & Sport Physical Therapy offers appointments within 24 and 48 hours and accepts most insurance types.

Broncos’ Sutton forgoes the spectacular for the steady Team’s new approach has player perfecting variety of receiving routes

BY ARNIE STAPLETON ASSOCIATED PRESS

Courtland Sutton hasn’t been the star of training camp like he was last year with a daily diet of highlight reel catches on deep fade routes, and the Denver Broncos are glad about that.

Sutton is working on becoming an all-around receiving threat in Rich Scangarello’s new offense, so he’s running all the intermediate routes, not just the deep posts where he’d leap over DBs for impressive catches.

“This offseason that was one big thing I wanted to work on, was being able to run every route on the route tree,” Sutton said, adding he doesn’t want to “just be a guy that’s known for going deep on the outside.

“That’s still something I have in my arsenal, but I want to be able to

run all those routes so that it can set up those big-shot plays.”

So, the spectacular has been replaced by the steady this summer.

Sutton said coach Vic Fangio “is attacking practice in a different way. A lot of those 50-50 balls you all saw came in one-on-ones. Right now, coach knows that’s something that I have in my arsenal. It’s like, Why keep feeding that horse? Add something to the game, don’t just be a one-trick pony.’”

Sutton is fine with the extra workload and the reduction in oohs and ahhs from the crowd because he’s certain it will pay dividends this season.

“Being able to run more routes, that’s the biggest thing. Being able to run more routes and not just being a guy where they are like, `Oh, 14 is in, he’s able to go deep,’” Sutton said. “You probably won’t hear too many DBs saying that. I can get in and out of any route and that’s one thing I’m just really trying to incorporate into my game.”

Receivers coach Zach Azzanni has

5 questions for Gavin Robey Junior Olympian gymnast from Centennial trains at facility in Parker

have goals to make college or above.

I started to focus on nationals when I became a Level 9 (gymnast), two years ago.

What role has training at 20 Mile Athletic Center played in your success?

I used to go to Active Athletics, but due to a change in coaching, I moved to 20 Mile since there is a limited selection of gyms with men’s programs that support Level 9 and up. Training with experienced coaches, such as Kyle Turner, has helped me improve and be able to get to nationals.

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

At age 16, Gavin Robey is a more accomplished athlete than most will be in their entire lives.

Robey, who is going into sophomore year at Arapahoe High School, represented the four-state Rocky Mountain region at the Men’s Junior Olympic National Championships in Nevada in early May. The gymnast started out with beginners’ classes in South Suburban Parks and Recreation at age 9 and joined a local team soon after.

The Centennial resident — who recently held a 4.0 grade-point average at school — competed at the National Championships for the second year in a row. He placed 47th out of 86 among 15-year-olds this year.

“It’s extremely difficult to qualify to nationals” from this region of the country, said Kyle Turner, coach at 20 Mile Athletic Center in Parker, where Robey trains. “Gavin’s perseverance and ability to hit routines in competition have been tremendous.”

How far do you plan to go?

My goals at the moment include getting to nationals again and competing at the college level.

Gavin Robey, a teenage gymnast from Centennial, competes at nationals. Robey trains at 20 Mile Athletic Center in Parker.

COURTESY PHOTO Here is some perspective from Robey on his athletic journey and what’s next.

Was it always your goal to compete

nationally?

My goal never started out as making nationals — mostly because I didn’t even know what nationals was — but I did

How do you stay in shape at your level?

I try to eat pretty healthy, especially during competition season. I also train 20 hours or more per week to maintain my strength and skills.

What’s the biggest personal lesson you’ve learned from competing?

Gymnastics has taught me discipline in both the gym and in school.

5 Tips for updating your resume

re you starting to enter the waters of finding a new job? Whether it’s because you are unhappy at your current position, or you realize you’ve grown and are ready to move up – the main thing to keep in mind is your resume needs to be updated.

A fresh resume, or even multiple drafts of a resume are good to have on hand.

Don’t be afraid to dust off the old version. A lot of the basic information still applies. It just needs to be updated to fit today’s job market, and maybe even split into a few versions if you are applying for multiple jobs.

glance can move an employer to continue reading more in depth, or setting it aside and moving on to the next candidate. Get rid of the objective field, find a clean font and don’t get too fancy with colors and graphics.

2.

3.

Some things to consider when updating the resume are: 1.

ameyn@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Looks matter: This is one of the most important pieces of a resume.

If you think you’re busy, imagine a manager or HR personal combing through dozens upon dozens of resumes. Sometimes the quick

4.

Update the language: Also remember language matters. Make sure the language fits today’s workforce.

Remove skills and information that are completely outdated and do not apply. Also, remove dated phrases.

Get to the point: Remember, time is valuable and HR isn’t looking to read paragraphs. They want the facts in quick, to-the-point bullets.

Don’t put too much: You have to decrease font size, shrink the spaces between lines and adjust the margins to fit all your information. If this is the case, print it and make sure the adjustments won’t

hurt your chances. If an employer prints it and information is cut off in the margins, they won’t take the time to fix it.

5.

Proofread and proofread again: After you’ve updated all the important information, print and reread it – it’s time to proof read. You read

it yourself, take break and then read it again. Always have someone else read it as well. We know what it is supposed to say so you may not catch the mistakes a third party will.

Mistakes in a resume can kill your chances. ~Brandpoint We are North America’s leading security services provider with over 200,000 phenomenal employees. At Allied Universal, we pride ourselves on fostering a promote from within culture.
