EDWARDS - Colorado Mountain College trustees unanimously picked Des Moines, Iowa, resident Stan Jensen as their choice for the college's next president on Monday. Trustees looked beyond the traditional presidential track in selecting Jensen, a consultant who specializes in community colleges. Trustees have yet to present its formal offer to Jensen, but he said he was confident they would reach an agreement. Jensen runs Leadership Enterprises Inc., with his wife, Teresa. "We're very excited," he said. "We look forward to coming out there and serving the college as president." Jensen was selected from among five finalists, which were later narrowed down to two. After about two hours in a closed-door session, trustees chose Jensen over Joe Forrester, president of the Community College of Beaver County in Monaco, Pa., and CMC's former Timberline campus dean and interim Vail/Eagle campus dean.
Shirley soldier dies in Wash.
SHIRLEY -- Pfc. Nathaniel Thibault worked as a housekeeper and maintenance man at a hotel throughout high school so he could take care of his sick mother. Thibault, who also battled a heart condition through high school, did everything he could for his mother, said Steve Whiting, Thibault's culinary-arts teacher at Nashoba Valley Technical High School in Westford. "His mother was sick his whole time in high school," Whiting said. "He built his schedule around her needs." Kim Thibault died during Nathaniel Thibault's senior year, Whiting said. "He missed a lot of school, but he came back a lot sooner than we thought he would," Whiting said. Thibault excelled at school despite his heart condition, Whiting said. He was a star athlete and went on to become a chemical-operations specialist in the Army with advanced training in chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear weapons.
