Building for a new generation Parmalee Elementary begins construction of addition, remodeled interior

Open Space seasonal wildlife closures begin STAFF REPORT

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Parmalee Elementary is preparing to say goodbye to its temporary classroom buildings as construction starts on a six-classroom addition.

A groundbreaking ceremony last week commemorated the $3.2 million, 8,000-square-foot addition that is expected to be completed by Aug. 1. The building will also see 4,000 square feet of remodeled space including a new entryway that will entail moving the office and kindergarten classrooms, changes to the gymnasium, a common classroom area, flexible learning spaces and more.

The temporary classroom buildings behind the school for more than 20 years will be removed when the addition is complete. Saunders Construction was awarded the contract to build the addition.

Parmalee in Indian Hills has 217 in-person students and 60 remote learners this year. Funds for the addition are coming from a bond approved by voters in 2018.

At the groundbreaking ceremony on Feb. 1, interim Superintendent Kristopher Schuh told Jeffco Public Schools officials, parents, teachers, students and those watching virtually that he was happy the

addition’s design would continue to make the school uniquely Parmalee.

Three fifth graders addressed the group, reminiscing about their fondest school memories. Andy Fleet talked about a nurse comforting him, Nick McKinnon said his family had been at Parmalee for 15 years, and Nora Gulliford noted that educators had taken care of students with different learning styles.

Parmalee principal Ingrid Mielke said the school was known for rigorous learning and has provided cherished memories in its 58-year history.

“I’m so excited the outside of the school will reflect the learning that takes place inside the school,” said Mielke, who became principal as Parmalee got another addition in 1999-2000. “I can’t wait until learning happens within these new walls.”

Seasonal wildlife closures of certain Jefferson County Open Space land went into effect on Feb. 1.

Every year the closures at the parks are instituted to protect species at sensitive times in their life cycles. In the associated news release, Jeffco Open Space asks for the public’s help in protecting the wildlife we all love by respecting seasonal wildlife closures in the following locations.

Centennial Cone — Elk Range Trail at Centennial Cone Park, including the interior of the park, is closed from through mid-June to protect elk during their calving season. All other trails are open.

Clear Creek Canyon Park — Portions of Clear Creek Canyon Park near Mile Marker 270 are closed to all public use uphill of US Highway 6 through July 31 to protect nesting eagles. This closure includes the following rock-climbing sites: Bumbling Stock, Stumbling Block, Skinny Legs, Blonde Formation, and Ghost Crag. The Fault Caves are also included in this closure.

Portions of Clear Creek Canyon Park, near Tunnel 2, are also closed to all public use uphill of US Highway 6 through July 31 for SEE OPEN SPACE, P13

Leon H. Sweetland

MAY 11, 1927 – January 9, 2021

Leon H. Sweetland passed away on Jan. 9, 2021. He was born in Hayes, Kansas, on May 11, 1927.

Stories about growing up in El Paso, Texas, Estes Park and La Junta, Colorado, Mitchell, South Dakota, San Francisco and San Diego, California, were always ready to be told. After serving in the Navy aboard the U.S.S. Alabama, Leon met the love of his life Margaret Jeane Snyder while attending La Junta Junior College.

After marrying Jean, he earned an electrical engineering degree from what is now Colorado State University. Public Service Co. of Colorado hired Leon as an electrical engineer in Fort Collins upon graduation. In 1962, he transferred to the Evergreen Public Service office as manager of operations, retiring after 35 years on the job.

Leon and Jean joined Church of the Hills Presbyterian in Evergreen in 1963.

They enjoyed singing in the choir, being

members of the Mariners group and also attending Spares and Pairs functions.

Leon lost Margret Jean 10 years ago and his youngest child Susan a year ago.

Leon is survived by son Robert and daughter-in-law Anita of Oklahoma, and son Thomas and daughterin-law Victoria of Littleton.

His grandchildren Toni of Longmont, Rob of Houston, Texas, Brian of Littleton and Josh of San Diego, California, have given Leon eight great-grandchildren.

Leon was a founding member of the Blue Spruce Kiwanis of Evergreen. He loved to cook pancakes for various civic events sponsored by Kiwanis and tried to foster a legacy of one-of-a-kind pancakes.

Walking the trail around Evergreen Lake was part of Leon’s daily rituals for many years. He was observed chasing an aggressive cow elk away from a frightened female jogger on the north side of the lake. He was humbled and honored to be a 32 degree Scottish Right Mason.

Susan A. Stearns

June 30, 1953 – January 29, 2021

Susan A. Stearns, 67, of Evergreen, Colorado passed away from complications of ovarian cancer on January 29 , 2021. At her passing, Susan was surrounded by her husband, sister, and brother.

Susan was born on June 30, 1953 in Evanston, Illinois. She grew up in Shaker Heights, Ohio and graduated from Shaker Heights High School in 1971. Susan’s love of skiing and the mountains led her to enroll at Colorado State University, where she graduated in 1976 with a B.A. in History. Susan went on to law school at the University of Colorado in Boulder, graduating with a Juris Doctorate in 1979.

While at CU law school, Susan met the love of her life, Frank O’Loughlin, who ultimately became her husband. In 1979, Susan and Frank moved to Red Lodge, Montana to begin their law careers. In 1981, Susan and Frank moved back to Colorado to pursue their legal careers.

Susan worked in elder law and estate planning. She began her own law firm in 1990 and retired from her legal career in 2013. Susan then worked part time as a Gift Manager for Mount Evans Home Health Care & Hospice in Evergreen until 2018, fully recycling more than her pay back into the hospice.

Much of Susan’s life revolved around charitable work and volunteering, the importance of which she learned at a young age. Susan spent more than

twenty-five years on the Board of Directors of Mount Evans Home Health Care & Hospice, ultimately being made a life-time member. Other volunteer activities and favorite organizations included Blue Spruce Kiwanis, the Triple Bypass bicycle tour, the Evergreen Alliance for Sustainability, the Mountain Area Land Trust, the Center for the Arts Evergreen, and Bootstraps (supporting education).

Susan was a passionate outdoor recreationalist, and she skied for over fifty of her 67 years. Much of her and Frank’s recreational and social life revolved around skiing at Vail. Susan first skied at Vail in 1970, a mere eight years after the ski resort opened, when taken there by long-time family friends. Other outdoor passions were bicycling and golfing. In recent years, Susan enjoyed travelling as much as she could, both with Frank and other close friends.

Susan is survived by her husband Frank O’Loughlin of Evergreen, CO, sister Sally Stearns of Chapel Hill, NC, brother Chuck Stearns and his wife Rita Braun of Whitefish, MT, nieces Erica Thomas and Rachel Thomas, and numerous in-law relatives on the O’Loughlin side. In lieu of flowers, Susan wishes that any memorial donations go to the organization of your choice or her favorite organization, Mount Evans Home Health Care & Hospice.

Notably, the hospice provided excellent and comprehensive care during Susan’s last year of life. A celebration of her life will be arranged, likely in summer 2021, in Evergreen for family members and close friends once an in-person service is considered safe.

Service groups plan February fundraisers

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

February appears to be a month for giving as four service organizations host fundraisers.

Conifer Rotary is hosting a Valentine’s Day dinner in conjunction with Castles and Kitchens, though the deadline to order meals was Tuesday. Here’s information about the other three and how you can help.

Resilience1220 Talent Spectacular

Youth talent will be showcased today at the Resilience1220 virtual talent show.

Organizers say they have been impressed with the videos individuals and groups have sent in, and the top four acts will perform virtually at 7 p.m. Feb. 10.

In addition to the videos, comedian Adam Cayton-Holland will perform, and the audience will hear several testimonials about Resilience1220’s work.

Resilience1220 is a nonprofit that provides free counseling to youth 12 to 20 by licensed therapists, plus it conducts workshops for youth and parents. Donations help the nonprofit continue its work that has become even more important during the pandemic.

The Talent Spectacular will help bring the community together,

according to founder and executive director Heather Aberg, plus it provides a creative outlet for teens, which is good for mental health.

Judy Tersteeg, who organized the entries, said she’s been impressed with the 20 young people who sent in videos.

“I watch these, and I laugh, and I cry, and I applaud them,” she said.

“Every one of (the videos) was meaningful. While there’s a panel of four people selecting the winners, in my mind, they’re all winners for putting themselves out there.”

Conifer High School student Ronan Tanner has been performing all his life, and he sang “Proud of Your Boy” from the Broadway musical “Aladdin” in the video. He enjoys talent shows, and he said he especially liked being able to record the song several times and choose the best recording to submit rather than performing live.

Evergreen High School student Lisca De Jager showed her artwork in her video because she has been doing a deep dive into her passion this past year, and she thought entering would be fun.

“The show gave me motivation,” she said. “It gives me a chance to show what I do and what I love and what I’m good at.”

To register to watch the Resilience1220 Talent Spectacular and to donate, visit resilience1220.org.

Evergreen Rotary Mardi Gras

It’s no surprise that Evergreen Rotary’s Mardi Gras fundraiser will look different this year, but Rotarian Doug Turner has gone all out to make sure the experience is a good one.

Turner took it upon himself to spend the last six months learning about video and sound, so he could record a performance by the band Tunisia. The performance video will be shown both at The Wild Game in Bergen Park Feb. 19-20 and virtually beginning Feb. 19.

“We used six cameras, so there are lots of camera angles,” Turner said. “We did our best to make it as interesting as possible.”

Evergreen Rotary hopes area residents will take advantage of the Tunisia video by buying tickets to help the organization with its philanthropic endeavors. Mardi Gras is its largest fundraiser of the year, and money goes to Resilience1220, which provides counseling to area teens, to other nonprofits and to help pay for some of the Evergreen Rotary’s programs such as recycling day and its Wildfire Ready project.

Tickets for the in-car viewing at the Wild Game are between $40 and $100 per car, and parking opens both days at 6 p.m. with the video concert starting at 6:30 p.m. Tickets for the virtual concert viewing are $25, and watch the video for 72 hours start-

ing at 7:15 p.m. Feb. 19.

Tickets are available at www.evergreenmardigras.com.

Mountain Foothills Rotary Ice Melt

The annual Ice Melt Barrel fundraiser is in full swing — and awaiting Evergreen Lake to melt to the point where the barrel falls into the water.

The event sponsored by Mountain Foothills Rotary is in its 15th year, and proceeds go to the Mountain Foothills Rotary Foundation, Evergreen Christian Outreach and the Evergreen Park & Recreation District’s INSPIRE special needs program.

Those who buy tickets guess when the barrel will touch the water. One ticket/guess costs $3, three guesses for $5, five guesses for $10 and 11 guesses for $20.

In other years, Rotarians have stood outside area businesses to sell guesses, but that isn’t happening this year. Purchase guesses from a Rotarian or by visiting evergreenicemelt.com/tickets.html.

First place wins $1,000, second place wins $500, third place $250 and fourth place $125.

In the past 14 years, the barrel has fallen into the water as early as March 5 and as late as April 17. Last year, the barrel touched the water on April 7.

USPS says mail delivery improving despite complaints

Despite some customer complaints that U.S. Postal Service delivery has been sporadic in the foothills, an official says delivery has been steadier now than in past months.

The Conifer post office, according to USPS spokesman James N. Boxrud, is one of the betterperforming mountain towns with a fully staffed office, and the Evergreen post office has more staff than it did in the last year.

Last March, USPS and Congressman Joe Neguse’s office conducted a meeting for Evergreen and Conifer residents to discuss post office issues. At that time, post office officials said they were working to solve the mail- and package-delivery issues by hiring new personnel and bringing in mail carriers from other cities.

They blamed some of the problems on the number of onlineorder packages that postal carriers were delivering for Amazon.com, Walmart and others.

“They are telling me that the majority of the problems have been handled,” Boxrud said of the current situation. “For the most part, they are keeping up.”

He said the Evergreen post office had “a meltdown” one day

two weeks ago, which put carriers behind, but the issues were rectified.

While it appears the complaints on social media are fewer, some are still complaining that packages are being mailed out but are not getting to their destination, that cards and packages they expected to receive during the holidays never arrived, that packages are being left in the snow or at the side of the road rather than being delivered to doors.

And there are still days when mail doesn’t arrive in mailboxes.

However, posts thanked the delivery personnel for being out at all hours and on Sundays to get mail and packages delivered.

Boxrud said the biggest challenge for Evergreen is getting the mail, which is brought in trucks from Denver, in a timely manner each day so it can be sorted and delivered.

The foothills postal carriers now have four-wheel drive vehicles to get them around to more remote locations, he said.

Wulf Rec Center to open on Sundays

The Wulf Rec Center, which has been closed on Sundays since the pandemic started, now is open from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Reservations are available for the cardio/weight room, lap swimming, pickleball and basketball. Restrictions are in place for all activities.

The Bond and Capital Improvement projects: a deep dive Where things stand now, plus answers to readers’ questions and a look into criticism leveled at the District.

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When the Jeffco Public Schools district requested a $567 million bond in 2018, voters said yes, by a slim margin.

Over the next few weeks, the newspaper will take a closer look at the 2018 Bond and Capital Improvement Program, the 6-year project that’s overhauling, and in some cases rebuilding, schools across Jefferson County.

The program has provided many of the improvements, repairs and new facilities as promised, but critics say millions in cost overruns and a lack of transaprency have plagued it from the start.

Over the next few weeks the paper will explore and explain more about the bond, its finances, the construction issues, the extent to which promisies have been delivered and critiquing where the district has perhaps fallen short.

The bond’s start

Starting off with a brief overview of the program and financial model used by Jeffco Schools, we’ll begin where all of the best stories do — at the beginning.

According to Jeffco Schools’ Chief Operating Officer, Steve Bell, the origins of the program can be traced back to 2009. That’s the year the district began working on developing a comprehensive plan known as the Summary of Findings. Bell said the document provides the District with a foundation to evaluate all of the buildings in their asset base.

“We determined that we needed to spend a lot of time and some resources to develop a master plan for our district going forward by evaluating the condition of every facility that we had, what the needs were — and those are evaluated on 12 systemic features within each building,” he said. “In that Summary of Findings, there’s something called an FCI, which is a Facility Condition Index that gives us a numerical evaluation for the condition of each building.”

In 2016, Jeffco Schools also created a District-wide Facility Master Plan to coincide with a bond measure that was going to be on the ballot that year. According to Tim Reed, the District’s Executive Director, Facilities & Construction Management, the 2016 plan looked at all of the District’s facilities, determined what their deficiencies were and recommended closures and consolidations.

The 2016 bond measure was rejected by voters.

But the Master Plan was dusted off and changes were made to the document in an attempt to make a bond measure more palatable to voters in 2018. Although there is some overlap between them, the Summary of Findings and Facility Master

Plan are two different documents.

They were not created for the same purpose, Bell said.

On Nov. 6, 2018, Jeffco voters approved the measure known as the Jeffco 5B Bond Request, by a margin of less than 2,000 votes.

By passing 5B, Jeffco voters gave the thumbs-up to increase property taxes over several years in order to fund a $567 million dollar bond issuance.

A school bond issuance is a type of loan. The District gets a large lump sum of money up-front and taxpayers pay it off with interest over several years. The money, in this case, $567 million comes from the sale of bonds purchased by investors. Bonds, especially highly-rated municipal bonds, are considered to be a safe investment.

They’re also tax-exempt, which makes them even more attractive to certain investors. In some cases, market conditions make investors willing to bid up the price of the bond on the open market. In other words, investors pay more for the bond than its face value. That extra money investors pay is called the premium.

Because of IRS rules requiring 85% of bond money for capital projects to be spent within the first three years, the district wouldn’t have been able to spend the money fast enough if it issued all of the bonds at one time. So, Jeffco Schools issued the bonds in two phases. In 2018, the district issued $325 million in bonds and made an additional $50 million in premiums. That gave the district the money to start multiple projects. In the fall of 2020,

Jeffco Schools issued the remaining bonds, and because interest rates had fallen to an all-time low, the premium came in even higher at $68 million. To be clear, the premium is extra money that came as a result of both planning and good luck when the bonds were issued.

One sore spot with critics is the ways in which the district has seen fit to use the premium money and an estimated $11 million in bond interest A huge chunk of the money for the Capital Improvement Program, comes from the bond money. Another big source of funding comes from a process called capital transfer. In this case, the district is transfering $20 million per year for the bond project’s six years from the general fund, into the bond program. Capital transfer dollars are spent each year for maintenance and upkeep of the district’s buildings.

If you add the $120 million from capital transfer to the $567 million from the bonds, plus the $118 million in premiums and throw in the $11 million in interest earned, it amounts to the lion’s share of funding for the overall program — $816 million. There may be a bit more from interest added into the pot at some point, but for now, that is the size and the funding sources for the District’s Capital Improvement Plan.

In the next installment of this series, we’ll take a look at the program’s considerable cost overruns and changes in the scope of individual projects that might not match voter expectations.

Sheriff’s Calls No-flow technology

CONIFER – Presumably flushed with embarrassment, the commercial property manager called JCSO to report larceny in the lavatory.

Sometime between 10 and 11 o’clock that morning, she sighed, heartless thieves unknown had made off with the chrome-plated copper “upper flush valves” of two toilets, the deplumbed commodes comprising exactly half the sanitary complement of the public men’s room located immediately across the hall from her office. Deputies photographed the much-less-sanitary installations and expressed hope that surveillance footage will help them get to the bottom of the mystery.

Out of bounds

INDIAN HILLS – Ford’s big black pickup truck had been stolen from an Aurora location on Jan. 8. At about midnight on Jan. 12, he picked up the stolen pickup’s GPS tracking signal moving southbound on Parmalee Gulch Road. Thumb-dialing 911 for backup, Ford leapt into his emergency backup pickup and made to give chase. Owing to the fast and furious circumstances and some small confusion over license plate numbers, a JCSO deputy made to apprehend Ford near the Indian Hills post office before other officers clarified the situation, by which time the stolen pickup was heading downstream on U.S. Highway 285.

Owing to a 2-minute lag in Ford’s tracking software, deputies were hard-pressed to get ahead of the stolen pickup, eventually abandoning pursuit when the vehicle passed into Denver County and out of their jurisdiction. Not one to be blocked by mere boundaries. Ford told deputies he’d continue the chase alone.

Officers wished him good hunting.

Meanwhile, back at The Ranch …

EL RANCHO – On the afternoon of Jan. 12, the ticked-off tenant asked deputies to sniff out the scoundrel who’d thrown dog poop onto his porch. The complainant had reported similar malodorous missile attacks in the past, but the putrid peltings persisted. He sus-

EVERGREEN – It was late morning, and the store security officer watched with interest as the neatly dressed young woman calmly, intently, methodically loaded her arms with women’s and children’s apparel. While such determined shopping is usually applauded in retail circles, the house gumshoe couldn’t help feeling that her apparent indifference to individual product qualities like price, size and style betrayed a troubling disregard for process. His suspicions were confirmed a few minutes later when, nearly invisible behind no fewer than 30 separate garments, she disregarded the cash register and made a beeline for the exit. Tipped off and tactful, a manager headed her off and diplomatically asked if he could assist her with those many purchases. “I’m just going to my car to get my credit card,” she smiled, serenely. Still the soul of delicacy, the manager suggested he safeguard her selections while she fetched the necessary funds.

Still as cool as cucumber salad, she graciously accepted his offer and unceremoniously dumped the whole pile of laundry into his outstretched arms. It may be presumed that she received an urgent message on her cell phone summoning her away on critical family business because while she did go out to her car, she never returned with the promised plastic. The manager asked that a report be filed.

pected a particular neighbor of polluting his patio but could provide no proof. Officers documented the dirty deed pending new information.

Not far away, on Jan. 14, a rattled renter sought an official opinion on his front door, which seems to lock itself of its own accord, which is unlikely. That means that a person or person unknown may be locking his front door without his knowledge or assent “just to mess with me,” which isn’t a whole lot likelier, but which was the best explanation the complainant could conceive. Deputies documented the delinquent deadbolt and closed the case.

OPINION

February 10, 2021

Ruminant digestion for dummies: Why feeding corn to deer is mean You can boil it, grill it and scorch it in the microwave. Make succotash.

Buy it dried in the husk and use it for home décor.

Just don’t feed it to deer. (It gives them diarrhea.)

Deer have fancy stomachs with four chambers. While this may cause you some serious stomach-envy (you only have one chamber), this very specialized digestive system is high maintenance.

While diving into the names and operations of each chamber is tempting (not really), I’ll describe them in an overly simplified, corny way for better absorption of the facts: Step 1: On your hands and knees, please. Now, cram food into your mouth and don’t chew it a lot. You can get to that later. Just keep on cramming while the gettin’s good.

(Remember, you can’t use your hands).

(Feeding corn to deer can cause painful bloating. What do you expect when you eat carbs?)

Step 2: That first stomach (the rumen, but we’ll call it S1 to simplify) takes all that cellulose you just swallowed, ferments it and sends it to S2, where there’s more processing. S1 and S2 get along well and help each other out. Which is a good thing.

CHRISTY (Deer + corn= sometimes death) GREENE Step 3: After COLUMNIST all that pulling up grass, it’s time to earn your right to be called a ruminant. You can call it “chewing your cud.” Your kids might call it “throwing up in your mouth.”

Here’s the beauty of it: you get to keep it in your mouth.

Find a comfy spot on the ground, settle in for a little rest (you deserve it after pulling up all that grass

things get whacky. S1 gets acidic and lets loose bacteria which can end up causing liver abscesses. Ask a Colorado Parks and Wildlife officer who will enlighten you that there is nothing nice about a deer’s stomach and liver on corn.

What about those deer making a living in a corn field? After weaning, fawns eat a little bit of corn here and there and build a tolerance, while also balancing their diets with natural forage.

Colorado Foothills deer go for the food that nature intended and are prepared to do some fasting during the winter. Put a pile of corn into an almost-empty deer stomach and things go south really quickly, within a day or two. A deer’s corn meal could be her last meal.

There is no disputing the fact that FEEDING DEER IS MEAN. One last thing, since feeding deer is illegal, you may want to save your corn money to pay your $100 fine.

(Deer are like dogs. They will happily eat things that can kill them, like people munching on Lofthouse cookies.)

Step 4: The fun part is over and now it’s all about getting the job done.

Swallow that lump of saliva-grass right back down your gullet and it will make its way through S3 and S4, where the normal stomach-y things happen. The ruminant S4 is like our human S1 - it does the real work and I don’t need to remind you what happens next.

(Corn can cause hoof deformities.)

By the way, if you have little kids, you know what comes to pass when they eat corn.

Here is the thing, if you put corn in S1 (the rumen) rather than grass,

Just a little bit longer to emerge from this Are we there yet?

I was able to get my first vaccine shot late last month. It didn’t hurt, I had no reaction, and I’m delighted to receive this protection. I have to admit that I have taken this health threat seriously.

The pictures of people on ventilators and seeing that 434,696 Americans have lost their lives as of late January because of this pandemic have gotten my attention. I have lost three personal friends and none of them had any serious health issues before the virus took their lives. I have noticed in Evergreen that nearly everyone wears their mask and tries to observe social distancing.

That is great, but not surprising given the good folks who live here.

At the same time, our numbers in America are not good. Simply put, had our death rate been the same as the European Union, 79,000 more Americans would still be alive; 225,000 if we matched Canada’s death rate; and 361,000 fewer deaths at the Australian rate. The death rate per 1,000 citizens shows only Belgium and Great Britain with higher rates. These statistics

were gathered by Pew Research.

Election polling by pollster FiveThirtyEight shows that only 38% of American voters approve of the prior administration’s handling of the pandemic.

Interestingly, the numbers vary by political party affiliation, with Republicans giving JIM the administration ROHRER a 76% score while COLUMNIST Democrats are at 8% and independents give a 35% approval rating. The point is that almost two-thirds of voters don’t give the past administration good marks. So, it seems fair to blame the administration’s dismissive rhetoric and hesitance to take more decisive action for our very bad performance.

At the same time, I believe that the American spirit which says, “no one will tell me what to do” and our love of

Turning the Page: Kindness acts and poetry

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

`Thank Forward: A Gratitude Action Kit’

By Julie Shields and Mia Logan Sometimes people need to be reminded that kindness comes in actions both large and small, so Bailey resident Julie Shields and friend Mia Logan of New Mexico have created a kit called “Thank Forward: A Gratitude Action Kit,” which is designed to inspire acts of kindness.

While the kit that is geared toward adults, it’s kid-friendly, Shields said.

It’s a series of 21 cards with ideas for doing acts of kindness. Then after someone does an act of kindness, they write down what they did and pass the cards along.

Shields said the idea for the kit was born out of discussions with Logan about self-help guides that don’t give tangible ways to perform acts of kindness.

“I can’t do an act of kindness that is really big,” Shields said. “It made me feel that I was not good enough to do a big act of kindness. But I can do something that helps someone in a small way.”

She said people who get ideas of small kindness acts that can be done — a note of appreciation or making a batch of cookies, for example — can tell others about the idea so

others can follow suit.

It’s not bragging but just providing other ideas.

Shields said she did a drive to gather used pet “Thank Forward: A Gratitoys and tude Action Kit” COURTESY PHOTOS some bags of food for the InterMountain Humane Society to help with dogs and cats there.

It wasn’t huge, but it helped in some way.

The kits are Julie Shields and Mia available Logan. at Amazon. com and at some Barnes & Noble bookstores.

`A History of Kindness’ `The Radiant Lives of Animals’

“A History of Kindness”

Linda Hogan.

By Linda Hogan Linda Hogan of Idledale published two books in 2020, which add to her collection of 20 books she has had published during her career.

The Native American writer has published a book of essays called “The Radiant Lives of Animals” and a collection of poetry called “A History of Kindness.”

“The

essays are about living in a small cabin in a wildlife corridor in Idledale with a mustang and burro,” she explained. “It takes in the history, land and the experiences of one woman with many animals, plants and insects, and that living here has grown a human with love for the place.”

The poetry explores the relationship between the ecosystem and the human, she said, and the work she has done over the decades on her 100-year-old cabin.

“So far, the essays that I write written pretty much for everybody cross race and cross class - I’ve become really well known as an environmental writer,” Hogan explained.

Hogan has been writing for decades, and when she first started, she found writing to be “magical.”

“I loved (writing) so well, I swore I would never do anything else,” she said, “and it all worked out.”

Logan has had many careers over the years: a teacher, researcher, speaker, editor, and she was inducted into the Chickasaw Nation Hall of Fame in 2007 for her contributions to indigenous literatures.

SPORTS Lobos’ Truby headed home for college

The Conifer linebacker signs letter-of-intent to play for West Texas A&M

BY MICHAEL HICKS MHICKS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Gunner Truby is going home.

Home for the Conifer High School senior is Bushland, Texas, a mere 22 miles from the Canyon campus of West Texas A&M. Playing for the Division II Buffaloes has always been a dream. Now, it’s going to become reality after Truby signed his letterof-intent on Feb. 3 during National Signing Day. “It was definitely one of my top choices if I didn’t get anything else.

Thank God they gave me an offer,” Truby said.

The linebacker led the 5-2 Lobos this past season with 58 overall, including 35 solo. He also had an interception and two fumble recoveries.

Truby also played quarterback this season for Conifer, completing 21of-40 passes for 220 yards and three touchdowns, while rushing for 229 yards and a score in the run-heavy attack.

Truby, who moved to Colorado when he was 14, was also considering the Colorado School of Mines, Hendrix College in Arkansas, Bethel University in Minnesota and Midland (Neb.) University.

He was a first-team all-conference and second-team all-state selection.

“He’s been a three-year starter at the linebacker position for us. He and Noah (Wagner) were kind of

the captains. They would get the calls on defense,” said Conifer head football coach Jonathan Shipley, who officially took over the helm from longtime head coach Larry Fitzmaurice last month. “He’s the kind of guy in the middle who kept that contained. He’s a tough kid who is never afraid to hit. He brought energy and toughness to our defense.”

Last month, Truby played in the Blue-Grey All-American Bowl in Arlington, Texas, home of the Dallas Cowboys. The West team defeated the East, 52-42. Truby called playing in massive AT&T Stadium “crazy.”

“There was someone there to help you every time you turned around,” Truby said.

Cougars hold on to exorcise Demons EHS almost saw an 11-point lead evaporate

BY MICHAEL HICKS MHICKS@EVERGREENCO.COM

Jackson Mott made it a point to slow down and focus on his breathing every time that he stepped to the charity stripe Friday night at Lo Hunter Gymnasium at Evergreen High School.

The senior guard was calm and collected as he tickled the twine time and again in the eighth-ranked Cougars’ boys basketball game against No. 4 Golden.

“The emphasis this week in practice was our free throws. I think we’re shooting like 50% as a team,” Mott admitted.

Well, actually, it was 48% heading into the top-10 showdown, but who’s counting. Apparently, both Evergreen and Golden were. Fortunately for the home-standing Cougars, they made just enough, scoring their final eight points from the free-throw

line in a crucial 43-40 victory.

The win kept Evergreen undefeated in the 4A Jeffco League at 2-0 (3-1 overall) heading into Feb. 30’s all-important showdown with Green Mountain, but it also snapped a string of six losses in the past seven meetings against the Demons.

However, it wasn’t easy.

Evergreen, which trailed only once all night - 2-0 just 18 seconds into the contest - methodically built an 11-points lead three times in the fourth quarter, the final time at 39-28 with 2 minutes, 53 seconds remaining.

The game appeared to be over at that point but nobody told the Demons that. Golden went on a 9-0 run while the Cougars missed free throw after free throw - five straight to be exact - and turned the ball over on an inbound play in the backcourt.

Alan Acevedo’s 3-pointer with 1:03 left pulled the Demons to within 39-37 before Jared Stiller hit two free throws 17 seconds later for the eventual winning points. Even still, the Cougars weren’t out of the woods until Acevedo’s desperation 3-point try - after an offensive rebound - hit the side of the backboard as time expired.

“Golden’s a good team. We were kind of expecting that. They’re a really good team, really well-coached,” said Mott, who finished with a gamehigh 19 points, including 9-of-12 from the foul line. “Obviously, those free throws didn’t help us, but I think we did a great job of closing them out at the end of the game there.”

Just barely.

Acevedo finished with a teambest 14 points. Richie Pruett added 11 for the Demons (3-2), who lost at

home to Green Mountain two nights earlier.

“We knew going into the season that we’re awfully young. I have no seniors at all. We got majority juniors, a couple of sophomores and a freshman, so we knew that we’re going to get some growing pains as we go through this,” said Golden head coach Lou Vullo, who couldn’t have asked for more from his team.

“They’re tough and they’re gritty, and they do fight down to the end.”

The victory was Evergreen’s third straight since a one-point loss in the season opener to No. 3 Longmont.

Griffin Lauritano added 12 points for the Cougars, who left the door open multiple times in the final minute for Golden to either win the game or send it to overtime. “(Golden’s) a great basketball team. They’re a great basketball program,” Lauritano said. “… I know how tough those guys are. They’re really well-coached. It’s never going to be an easy win when you play against those guys. To come out even with any kind of win is a huge boost.”

Having a heart for love Valentine’s Day means making time, finding the perfect gift for loved ones

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Love and romance sum up Valentine’s Day. Yet, showing our love has taken on new meaning in a pandemic world.

People can celebrate at home together, purchase gifts and get creative for the Feb. 14 holiday, and it’s possible to get away, said Gail Sharp, owner of TallGrass Aveda Day Spa on Upper Bear Creek Road in Evergreen.

“It is possible to celebrate together and enjoy each other in a safe environment,” Sharp said. “You just need to pay attention to where you are going and who you are trusting.

Love is love, and it can be all sorts of things, not just couples — mothers and daughters, two good friends” and more.

Gail Riley, owner of Highland Haven Creekside Inn in Evergreen, agrees.

“Primarily, it’s getting away from whatever you’re getting away from — being housebound, working hard — and acknowledging love,” she said.

“There’s nothing more important than love, and we strive to enhance people’s love.”

Riley said it was important for people to feel pampered so they can relax and spend quality time with loved ones.

“Valentine’s Day is a wonderful time, and it’s kind of our thing,” Riley said. “It’s Valentine’s Day all year ‘round for us.”

She said the pandemic has made it even more important for people to get out in nature to spend quiet time together.

“More than ever, we need to be outside taking big deep breaths and seeing something beautiful,” she said.

“Everybody needs that, especially those living in the city.”

While clientele at Highland Haven come from all over, Riley says they also come from the foothills to get away from their regular routines.

Sometimes they run home to let out the dog, but they return for the pampering.

Getting away can also include a nice meal at a restaurant or takeout if that is a more comfortable option nowadays. Gifts such as flowers, jewelry, books and other items — available for in-person or virtual shopping at foothills stores — can also say “I love you” to a special someone.

Ian Smith, co-owner of Idaho Springs Mountain Gems, said business has been picking up as the days count down to Valentine’s Day. “People still want to take care of their loved ones,” Smith said.

Flowers and plants are another great Valentine’s Day gift option, and Brandy Knott, floral designer at Southern Lilies Florist in Conifer, said flowers are the perfect way for people to feel loved. The Valentine’s Day orders started trickling in in late January and are picking up as people send flowers and plants to loved ones near and far.

Knott summed up the sentiments

“We bring joy,” Knott said. “I have the best job on the face of the planet.”

IDEAS TO CELEBRATE VALENTINE’S DAY A question on Facebook yielded great responses about how foothills residents are showing their love for members of their families. Here are some of their ideas: • Last year I went to Go Paint! and painted him a bowl. I wrote 365 reasons why I loved him on strips of paper, cut them up, folded them accordion style and put them in the bowl. Let me tell you,

by No. 365 you are coming up with some goofy reasons why you love someone!

• We are getting our second COVID-19 vaccine together on Feb. 14.

• Cooking amazingly delicious and healthy meals. My hubby says he feels like he is eating at a fine restaurant each night!

• Spending time with them. It’s a great way to show someone how much you love them and nothing else can take its place.

• Since Valentine’s Day falls on a Sunday this year, the best thing I can do for my guy is leave the house, so he can watch sports all day.

• One of my kids is a Valentine’s baby, so we usually celebrate his birthday on Valentine’s Day. This year, we’re threatening to make him stream cheesy `80s rom-coms with his parents and younger brothers. As a teenager … he’s being a good sport.

• Surprise trip to the hot springs.

• I hope to get a reservation to skate on Evergreen Lake.

• I write a letter to my 87-year-old grandma living in Europe every week.

• Carry out from a local restaurant, local beer/wine, make a succulent garden with a kit from Fun & Funky Gallery and finish with homemade brownies.

• Give them a potted plant, so they have something to care for and watch it grow.

• Make a heart-shaped meatloaf.

• My mom is 90 years old. Now I call her every single day, and our son has been calling us every evening since the pandemic began.

Couples find love amid pandemic whirlwind Stories of romance reflect unique challenges, opportunities

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

On Oct. 21, Chuck Coughlin was visiting his wife’s grave in a Boulder cemetery when he noticed a woman visiting her husband’s grave.

He saw her name — Marj O’Reilly — on the tombstone next to her husband’s and made a comment about how her first name was similar to his mother’s.

Not the best pick-up line, O’Reilly later joked.

The two struck up a conversation and found out they had a lot in common, and decided to meet again soon.

Before long, the two were in a relationship, and on New Year’s Day, Coughlin proposed. They recently set a date — June 11 — for their wedding.

All because they bumped into each other at the cemetery last October, O’Reilly said.

Just like their meeting, Coughlin and O’Reilly’s relationship during the pandemic has been unique.

And they’re not alone.

COVID-19 has forced couples across the Denver area to confront serious topics, such as health and politics, early in a relationship while eliminating many activities they might do on dates.

“Pandemic dating kind of expedites dating 10 times over,” said Blair Nelson of Denver, who met her boyfriend virtually last spring. “… We often joke that we’ve been together almost nine months, and it feels like we’ve been together for three years.”

Meanwhile, how to meet each other’s friends and family has varied from couple to couple, with many saying they’re taking precautions while others said they haven’t taken any.

Coughlin and O’Reilly, who live in Lakewood and Broomfield, respectively, have taken precautions by meeting loved ones virtually or outside with social distancing.

“Our families live so far apart,” Coughlin said, “I’m not sure it would’ve been any different (with-

texted for a few weeks before their first phone call.

In July, Marlin packed everything he could in his car and headed back to Colorado. The two had planned their first in-person date on July 17.

It didn’t go well.

Marlin recalled how the restaurant they went to had terrible food and drinks, so they left, got groceries and cooked at home.

“I think it was too much pressure after months of talking,” he continued.

However, things went much better after that, and because of the pandemic, Marlin described how they would spend a few days together rather than a few hours on a date.

Hiking, biking, skiing and camping have been very popular activities for Marlin and Nelson, as well as others. As for indoor activities, couples said they’ve also spent time cooking; doing puzzles and coloring books; and playing card, board and video games together.

“It’s hard to get reservations and capacities are limited,” Nelson said. “We didn’t have ballgames or concerts or the ease of spontaneity.

We really had to plan and be intentional about things.”

out the pandemic).”

O’Reilly felt that, by now, they at least would have connected more with their family members who live in Colorado, particularly over the holidays.

Nelson and her boyfriend, Patrick Marlin of Idaho Springs, have taken similar measures. Marlin met most of Nelson’s friends and coworkers virtually while Nelson met Marlin’s family outdoors at hikes and bonfires.

However, Nelson described how Marlin met her parents much earlier when her parents were in town while driving from Texas to Seattle for the summer.

Nelson and Marlin have also driven to Texas twice, and quarantined both times.

“We’ve been very careful when we’re in public or traveling,” Marlin said, adding that they wear masks and clean their hands frequently. “We haven’t gotten COVID yet, but some of that is probably luck.”

Finding things to do

In each other’s bubble

Nelson said the pandemic prompted her to take a more serious look at her love life and have a greater interest in a relationship.

However, while other couples said they met through dating apps and websites during the pandemic, Nelson knew that wasn’t for her.

Instead, she took the premise behind online dating, and applied it to her professional network. She described how, in May, she sent out a very honest and vulnerable newsletter-like email about herself and what she was looking for in a partner to 110 people, asking if they knew anyone who would be a good fit.

Marlin’s cousin was one of the recipients and set them up virtually, as Marlin was actually in North Carolina.

As a someone in business-to-business sales with a part-time bartending gig, Marlin recalled spending a lot of time alone in his apartment, and getting an email one day about Nelson.

The two described how they

While they hadn’t contracted COVID-19 as of late January, Marlin and Nelson said they’d dealt with a few potential exposure scares and subsequent quarantines. They’ve discussed the likelihood of both of them getting it if one of them contracts it, and decided they’re going to support each other if that happens.

Arguably, the bigger concern has been keeping their loved ones safe, explaining that they were going to quarantine for a week before visiting family in late January.

Other individuals in relationships, especially those who live alone, consider them and their significant other as in the same bubble, so if one of them gets COVID, they’ll probably both get it.

Coughlin and O’Reilly had to confront that reality in mid-November, when O’Reilly tested positive for COVID-19. Coughlin never had symptoms but later tested positive for antibodies.

While they’ve certainly been SEE COUPLES, P13

concerned that they gave it to each other, Coughlin explained that, at that point, they’d never spent time in close quarters together. All their meetings had been outside or socially distanced. Thus, they’re not sure where O’Reilly contracted it.

All throughout their relationship, the two have been emailing and video-chatting almost every day.

They also went hiking and walking together a lot.

“I think (COVID-19) made us more cautious with each other,” O’Reilly said of their initial interactions.

Now the two, who are both in their 70s, have received their second doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, and are looking forward to getting married in June.

Both of them came from very happy marriages, and their widowhood was something helped them bond so quickly and deeply. Cough-

lin and O’Reilly also both lost their spouses to cancer-related complications in March 2020 and December 2018, respectively.

Finding someone who understood that loss and who was able to support them through it was providential, they described.

“I was so blessed to find this woman,” Coughlin said. “The chances of finding each other are so low.”

Likewise, Marlin and Nelson described how, after spending months alone in their apartments, they were thankful to have someone in their lives to support them, especially through job loss, stress and anxiety, and other pandemic-caused issues.

“I think we are so much stronger,” Nelson said of being in a relationship during the pandemic. “… It’s hard but it’s definitely been worth it.”

Morrison considers adding more parking A new lot, putting employees in outlying lots on the table

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Town of Morrison may get another lot to help alleviate its parking shortage as pandemic restrictions ease.

Mayor Sean Forey asked downtown businesses to bring the Town Board a proposal to convert what is known as the Jones property on Highway 74 west of downtown into a parking lot. Board members indicated an interest in leasing the property to business owners for a nominal amount, saying they didn’t want to take on the challenges and expense of creating the lot themselves.

Business owners in downtown Morrison have attended Town Board meetings for the last few months, asking for help with park-

ing. They say people who can’t find parking will leave, not spending money in shops and restaurants that need a prosperous summer to recuperate from the awful year they just had.

“We appreciate you addressing some options,” Bryan Cole, owner of Mill Street Eats, told the board.

“We have one summer to recoup what businesses have lost, or businesses will go away.”

Business owners told the board they didn’t want to wait until May for the town to decide to do something because then action wouldn’t be taken until September, long after the busy tourist season.

Board member Katie Gill headed up a committee that looked at the number of parking spaces available in and near downtown. She said they found 501 spaces, which is about 10 spaces for every 1,000 square feet of commercial space.

“Just looking at the numbers, we look like we have a pretty strong parking asset in our town,” Gill said, “but we acknowledge that the businesses do not feel the numbers

reflect the needs in our town.”

Other parking measures

As a first step, board members asked business owners to have their employees park in outlying spots, rather than in prime downtown parking spaces. They suggested that change could potentially free up as many as 80 downtown parking spaces a day.

“We need to make sure business owners are making it very clear to their employees that they impact their own tips if they don’t use outlying parking places,” said Planning Commission chairwoman Jamee Chambers, who serves on the parking committee. “Whatever you can do to encourage them to do that will do a lot to make parking better.”

Board members also suggested finding a way to deter bicyclists who park in downtown Morrison and then spend several hours in the canyon.

Gill also suggested better signage directing tourists to parking lots, a map on the town’s website with

parking information and consideration of an app to help people find parking.

Business owners said thanks to COVID-19, parking needs have changed — especially with restaurants doing more takeout and using more delivery services. They said short-term parking needed to be taken into consideration, too.

Town board members discussed whether the town should convert the Jones property into a parking lot, saying they didn’t know whether people would walk that far into downtown, and they were concerned about safety because people would be walking along Highway 74, which doesn’t have sidewalks.

“I’m not ready to do this right now,” board member Jen Singer said. “If we grade (the Jones property) and make it nice, it’s not going to be the parking lot that can handle snow and rain and still be viable. Right now, I think we should try some other solutions, but I don’t want to close it out and say no way to the lot. I want the opportunity in May to look at it again.”
