Starting a new school year Principals excited for in-person learning, construction projects

75 CENTS

Meet the foothills’ new principals

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Principals at foothills schools have two themes as school starts this week: engaging students in in-person learning, and getting through building construction and renovation.

“We want to really reconnect with our community,” said Kristen Hyde, principal at The Bergens. “Last year was really isolating for our families. We want to reconnect with families and really create a sense of belonging.”

In addition, most foothills schools are in the middle of construction and improvements thanks to a bond approved by voters in 2018. Principals are happy for the positive structural changes to their buildings and playgrounds.

Wilmot Elementary and Conifer High School have completed their additions, while Parmalee Elementary’s addition is supposed to open this week, and Evergreen Middle School hasn’t started construction yet. Marshdale Elementary is getting a new school just south of the current building, set to open in August 2022.

A balancing act EPRD board begins discussing future projects, funding

No decisions have been made, but board members said they wanted to continue discussions.

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Evergreen Park & Recreation District officials are wrestling with priorities for new facilities and programs while balancing them with what they can afford.

At its board retreat on Aug. 7, board members agreed that it was time to put together a strategic plan, look at cost estimates for a laundry list of district needs and begin figuring out what they can do.

“I would like to get a menu of potential projects and what they would cost,” board member Don Rosenthal said. “Then let’s survey the community. Let’s say, `Here’s the menu of projects and how much each will cost, and here’s the budget. How should we spend the money?’”

Board President Monty Estis and board member John Ellis will serve on a subcommittee to get the process moving, and district officials will look for a planning grant to help pay a firm to build a survey.

Malamute Drive property While the subcommittee will work on creating the strategic plan, board members said they were interested in learning what it would take to develop the 2.5-acre property it owns at Highway 73 and Malamute Drive.

Estis said after the district acquired the property from Evergreen Fire/Rescue, officials met with Evergreen Meadows residents, and they were less averse to courts on the property. They had concerns about traffic, noise and parking.

Board members agreed they would need to talk to subdivision residents again, but they need other questions answered such as property zoning, whether there was available well and septic, and more.

Executive Director Ellen O’Connor estimated it would cost about $500,000 to put courts, a park lot and restrooms on the site, noting that a lot of work would need to be done and money saved before the courts could be built. No decisions were made on whether the courts would be tennis, pickleball or a mix.

“What I’m thinking,” Rosenthal said, “is that developing the High-

way 73 property is certainly something that would make a great deal of sense.”

Courts on the property would require nominal infrastructure, and its location on the south end of the recreation district makes it an enticing development, especially with increasing demand for court space, board members said.

Buchanan Park The board also discussed Buchanan Park and specifically whether constructing a gym at the Buchanan Park Rec Center should be a top priority.

A gymnasium scored high on the community’s priorities when the rec district put together a bond request that was denied by voters in 2018.

“The gym seemed to be a top priority (at) Buchanan Park,” O’Connor said. “You can have a simple gym or a more elaborate one with a running track,” noting that construction prices have gone up substantially.

“If we get one project done, that should be the one. I look at the district’s future, and a gym is critical for our operation. We manage, but on the other side of it, an accessible gym is needed.”

Stagecoach Park Staff also was tasked with look-

ing at what it would take to put a bike pump track on the north end of Stagecoach Park, a proposal that originally came before the board from a private organization in February.

Board members figured creating a pump track would be inexpensive, though they would need to consider increasing parking. The board asked staff to return to the board with a cost breakdown for potential installation.

Other discussion items • Board members discussed parking at the Wulf Recreation Center, wondering if Evergreen High School, which has an agreement to use spaces in the rec center lot, would consider giving up some of those spaces. O’Connor noted that rec programs can be staggered to try to ease parking problems, and during peak periods, getting the EHS parking spaces back still wouldn’t be enough.

• They agreed that property behind the Conifer Staples that someone wanted to donate to the district didn’t make financial sense for the district at the moment, entailing annexations and more, and they intended to decline the offer.

CORRECTION The last edition of the paper included a story on the Jefferson County Fair. Due to a reporting error two cutlines contained incorrect names. The owner of the pig Ripley is Lilian Stravig. The youth holding a chicken and

speaking with a 4-H judge is Mason Rapp of Lakewood.

The paper regrets the error. To report any corrections or clarifications please call 303-566-4129 or email gwallace@coloradocommunitymedia.com.

UMCE celebrates golden anniversary

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When there’s a will, there’s a way.

Twelve Evergreen families began meeting in homes, working to create an official Methodist church for the community, and it’s been 50 years since they were successful.

At the 50th anniversary celebration service on Aug. 7, Pastor Sarah Clark told the packed room: “It matters that we know our story. It matters that the spirit will call us to the places and people we need to be with … so people can hear and respond and be transformed.”

The service included singing by the Chancel Choir, a performance by an impromptu bell choir, recognition of members of the founding families and honoring past church pastors including Don Sperber, Bill Kirton, Bonnie Benda and Dick Vickery.

The first official gathering of United Methodist Church of Evergreen took place in May 1971 in the back of the Lakeshore Inn, which was in the parking lot of the current Lake Point Center. After that meeting, families met in several temporary locations.

“We loaded our trunks with Sunday school materials, cribs and nursery supplies, borrowed hymnals, etc., and set up wherever we happened to be meeting,” Jeanne Ambrosier, a member of the founding families, told the congregation.

“It was an exciting and rewarding time, and we were thrilled to be part of a grassroots movement.”

On May 5, 1974, the church on Ponderosa Drive in Evergreen opened, with 130 member families.

“Much thought and prayer went into the design of this building,” Ambrosier explained. “It needed to be a place of inclusiveness for a community that needed spaces to meet. … The sanctuary would have the flexibility of being transformed into meeting the needs of diverse venues.”

Church officials decided to build an addition in 1992 to create a preschool, additional offices and an expanded kitchen.

Ambrosier quoted a sermon by the church’s first pastor, Harold Raines, who called Evergreen the place to be because people chose to move here, SEE UMCE, P5

not necessarily because it’s convenient.

“The United Methodist Church of Evergreen is here by choice, too,” Ambrosier quoted Raines. “We came looking for a better life, a creative community, a place for loving involvement, living joy and exciting happenings. Our place to be is a place where worship is important, making it real and meaningful.”

She said her family was privileged to be able to help form the church.

“It continues to be an awesome and sacred place to worship, to learn,” she said, “and to enjoy the fellowship of this unique Christian community.”

While UMCE founders began meeting in 1971, they opened the church on Ponderosa Drive in May 1974.

Keron and Sandy Sandifer returned to UMCE to perform at the 50th anniversary celebration. The couple had provided music for the church for many years.

SHERIFF’S CALLS Creeping it real CONIFER – Somebody spraypainted an offensive word across the hatch of his dad’s Jeep Cherokee. He told deputies he suspected a neighborhood girl of the crime.

That girl had once toilet-papered his house, he explained, and “left Oreos on the car.” She was mad at him, he continued, because she “likes” him and he refuses to “hang out” with her. Contacted by officers, the girl denied vandalizing the Cherokee. She said the last time she spoke to the lad he’d informed her he was moving away, and she was surprised to learn he still lived there. She said the complainant “creeps” around girls and is consequently unpopular with them. Carrying side arms and highly trained in all manner of personal combat techniques, the officers weren’t about to hazard the mine field of teenage romance without a smoking gun in hand. The case went colder than unrequited love.

Paternal instinct CONIFER – Young Portnoy worked at a restaurant. One day not long ago the restaurant held an “all hands” meeting at which young Portnoy was not present.

When young Portnoy came to work his next shift, he somehow got the

idea that he’d been made an object of ridicule during the “all hands” meeting he didn’t attend, and he quit on the spot. That would have been the end of it, except it wasn’t.

A few days later, young Portnoy’s papa marched into the restaurant and demanded to speak with the manager. Papa held the manager responsible for the ridicule of his son and promised to wait for him in the parking lot until the end of his shift and “kick his (keister).” The manager responded that if Papa was going to cause trouble the police would be summoned. Deeming that an unsporting advantage, Papa stalked away unsatisfied. Police were summoned anyway, just in case, and various employees told deputies that while young Portnoy was, in fact, not ridiculed at the all-hands meeting, though there had been prior personality clashes in the past.

The manager asked officers to extend his personal invitation to Papa to never enter the restaurant again. Asked about his alleged threat to whup the manager, Papa admitted to deputies that “in the heat of the moment” he “might have said something like that.”

Officers told Portnoy’s pop that he could count himself lucky the manager wasn’t pressing charges, and advised him to take his tem-

per, and his meals, elsewhere.

Eric Idler EL RANCHO – T-Bone Slim likes to hang out. On the afternoon of July 11 he decided to hang out in the fast-food restaurant’s drivethrough lane. The manager asked him to hang out somewhere else, so T-Bone strolled a few feet over to the restaurant’s trash and utility area, where he immediately got into a heated verbal exchange with an employee. Alarmed by T-Bone’s vigorous “swearing and posturing,” the manager called JCSO and asked deputies to give him the bum’s rush. “I’m not breaking any laws,” T-Bone objected. Deputies agreed that hanging out is not illegal in and of itself, but since the the manager had just formally banned T-Bone from the premises he’d have to find a new hangout. T-Bone toodled.

Girls collide EVERGREEN – Out about town on the night of July 11, Archie and his girlfriend, Betty, stopped at a gas station so Betty could buy a pack of butts. Betty came out of the store just in time to encounter Archie’s ex-girlfriend, Veronica, on her way in to buy a pack of butts. “(Nuts to) you, (Betty)!” screamed Veronica. “I’m

gonna (muss) you up!” Pretty sure that Veronica wasn’t just blowing smoke, Betty ran for the safety of Archie’s car only to discover that, upon seeing his ex-girlfriend raging around the parking lot at full boil, the gallant Archie had locked all the doors. Left at the angry ex’s mercy, Betty could only stand fast and endure as Veronica “spit in my face” and “flicked her cigarette at me.” Veronica left without mussing anybody up, but Betty called JCSO anyway.

In her own rather weak defense, Veronica would later explain to officers that she has little memory of the incident on account of “seeing (Archie)” had sent her into a mind-erasing “panic attack,” but that she was pretty sure she’d never spit on anybody or flicked anything in an aggressive fashion.

Ample witness statements and gas station surveillance video proved more persuasive than convenient amnesia, and deputies cited Veronica for harassment.

Sheriff’s Calls is intended as a humorous take on some of the incident call records of the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office for the mountain communities. Names and identifying details have been changed. All individuals are innocent until proven guilty.

The Census Bureau on Aug. 12 released the first local-level results from its 2020 census to give Colorado and other states the data they need to redraw the boundaries of SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE congressional and legislative election districts.

Census Bureau: Jefferson County grew by 9% over decade County’s growth rate more modest than elsewhere in metro area

BY MARK HARDEN MHARDEN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The population of Jefferson County grew by 9% between 2010 and 2020, a more modest rate of growth than other Denver metro area counties and lower than the statewide growth rate.

That’s according to redistricting data released Aug. 12 by the U.S. Census Bureau.

Jefferson County’s population rose to 582,910 last year, up from 534,543 a decade earlier, the bureau reported.

The county’s growth rate was lower than the 14.8% growth rate of Colorado as a whole.

Jefferson is the fourth-most-populous county in Colorado, behind El Paso, home to Colorado Springs (730,395), Denver (715,522) and Arapahoe (655,070) and ahead of Adams (519,572), Larimer (359,066) and Douglas counties (357,978).

The new census data also showed

that Jefferson County in 2020 had a housing unit vacancy rate of 4.3%, tied with Adams and Douglas for the lowest rates in Colorado and well below the state average of 9.4%.

Statewide, the fastest-growing county between 2010 and 2020 was Broomfield, with a 32.6% growth rate, the new numbers show.

Broomfield ranked No. 30 among the nation’s fastest growing counties.

That was followed by Weld County (30.1%), Douglas County (25.4%), lightly-populated Mineral County (21.5%), Larimer County (19.8%), Denver County (19.2%), Adams County (17.7%), El Paso County (17.4%), Arapahoe County (14.5%) and Elbert County (12.9%).

Meanwhile, 15 of Colorado’s 64 counties lost population over the 10-year period, led by Kit Carson County, with a loss rate of 14.3%.

The Census Bureau released the first local-level results from its 2020 census to give Colorado and other states the data they need to redraw the boundaries of congressional and legislative election districts. In Colorado, that process is under way by twin newly-established independent commissions.

VOICES

An inspiring round of golf

I

t’s widely known that good news doesn’t sell. Bad news catches our eye. I just saw a headline that several people in one locale have JIM died despite being vaccinated.

ROHRER As I looked at the article it explained that the people died of causes other than COVID and their deaths had zero to do with COVID or their vaccinations. They knew that the bad Columnist news headline would get attention.

I have a very positive article to write with good news, and I hope you will read on, despite the positive headline.

A few weeks ago was the annual Andy Smith Sr. Inspire Golf Tournament. The tournament has been played every year since 2003 at Hiwan Golf Club. It is organized and run by the Mountain Foothills Rotary Club of which I am a proud member.

Last year’s event had to be canceled, but our loyal sponsors kicked in their normal sponsorships, and we were able to donate to our beneficiaries. Those who benefit from the tournament are INSPIRE, the special needs program run by EPRD, Evergreen Christian Outreach that helps those who heed a helping hand, and Crutches4Africa, an organization who sends mobility devices to African polio victims.

This year something was different. We found more sponsors willing to help and more golfers wanting to play than could be accommodated. To say that this was the biggest and best would certainly be accurate. Perhaps the pandemic is responsible, but I would just summarize it by saying the tournament brought out a large group of people whose community spirit was overflowing.

One of my jobs was to deliver the sponsor signs to the golf course. This year we had many new signs because of first- time sponsors. The load of signs filled my trunk more than ever before.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Free of the fee Many thanks for following-up on the misleading signage posted in front of the Mt. Evans Fee Station. I think it’s important that local residents understand they may drive up the Mt. Evans Highway anytime the road is open without a reservation or payment of a fee, just as long as they don’t use the facilities within the two Federal Fee Areas or enter the Summit Lake Denver Mountain Park.

Most out-of-state visitors are eager to enjoy the view from the top parking lot and don’t mind making a reservation or paying for it. But many Front Range residents know there’s much more to the Mt. Evans experience. They shouldn’t be put off from making multiple trips per season as they so desire, being free from fees and reservations!

A

It might not be apparent, but on tournament day, there is much to do, and Rotarian volunteers were joined by a cadre from EPRD to staff the event. Of course, the addition of more players who almost all arrived at the same time made the credit card-processing operation seem to take longer than usual.

Even this line of folks who were about to pony up was full of smiles. I don’t believe our players ever enjoyed themselves more than this year. We added to the event with a 50/50 raffle, which we had been selling before the event.

The drawing was made and to our surprise, the winner donated their 50% prize to INSPIRE. It was a wonderful day because of the participants.

There are those who typically participate to have the opportunity to play the famous Hiwan course, and there are many who play to support either INSPIRE or EChO. As such, we have many who play each year, but this year we had more players than the course would accommodate.

Kyle Heyen, the Hiwan Golf professional, donated complimentary rounds for two groups who couldn’t be fit onto the course. I have always believed that if you looked up the word professional, Kyle’s picture would appear.

I must call out one individual.

Rotary member Bob Zavodsky agreed to be the general chairman of the tournament as our longtime chair has moved away.

Despite being new to the tournament, his relentless focus on the many details and his new set of eyes made him look like someone who scored a hole-in-one during their first golf round. Good news may not sell, but it’s worth reporting when it arrives.

Jim Rohrer of Evergreen is a business consultant and author of the books “Improve Your Bottom Line … Develop MVPs Today” and “Never Lose Your Job … Become a More Valuable Player.” Jim’s belief is that common sense is becoming less common. (More about Jim at www.theloyaltypartners.com.)

Being present can be a present

s most of us are in similar situations, I was stunned and saddened by the recent loss of a long-time friend to cancer. We met as ALCHEMY children, and were actually engaged in kindergarten … though, for some reason, this arrangement didn’t even last out the school year.

I do have blackand-white photos of Andrea Doray us as five-year-olds in paper hats at a birthday party, in the inevitable classroom group pics, and in our yearbook photos that seem so staged and formal now.

We both eventually got engaged – to others – and, as lives do, ours crisscrossed through the years (decades, really) since we left our small high school in the San Luis Valley of southwestern Colorado.

I’ve lost other classmates and schoolmates, too, and the news of such deaths is sorrowful.

Contemplating our next class reunion coming up in a couple of years fills me with both melancholy and anticipation. We are a group of

friends made smaller by the vagaries of our fates, and we need to gather close to each other and cherish this time we’ll have together.

If this sounds cheesy, so be it.

Events such as this loss of a friend have brought the concept of living in the moment into much clearer focus.

Of course, there are books and podcasts and courses and classes and and and that dictate how to “be present” in our lives, to live in the moment. That’s all well and good unless you are desperate to find a job or are waiting for a diagnosis or are suffering a loss of any kind.

Yes, I know … being present and living in the moment may help us endure these types of trials. And I try, I really do. So perhaps it’s this recent jolt – as well as the future prospect of a dwindling class reunion – that’s increased my resolve to determine how, and with whom, I want to spend my moments.

And just now – perhaps unsurprisingly – even as I am writing these words, a friend has sent a photo of a refrigerator magnet he likes. Among the magnet’s maxims, “appreciate your friends” particularly resonates with me.

Other truisms encourage me to be

more present with the words “listen hard” and “practice wellness.”

To help me live in the moment, I’m motivated by “play with abandon” and “laugh” and “do what you love.”

For many of us, though, doing what we love means balancing our time, talent and passions with our jobs, bills and other obligations.

And for me, personally, this balance feels more urgent, more necessary and more demanding after the past year and a half.

Life, as lives do, can turn quickly, for good or for harm … with opportunities for either – or both – joy and regret. So, ultimately, I’ve decided what being present and living in the moment means for me … to “choose with no regret.”

Fittingly enough, the first words on the magnet are “live with intention,” followed by “walk to the edge.” And it’s the wisdom at the end that brings me to tears: “live as if this is all there is.”

Land swap proposal a big deal for Jeffco Open Space Mining will be extended but conservationists would score a win

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A large land swap deal being considered by Jefferson County Open Space (JCOS) and Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. (Martin Marietta) just came one step closer to getting done.

Jefferson County Open Space Advisory Committee unanimously passed Resolution 20-09, approving the acquisition of Centennial Cone Park/ Guy Gulch Property and recommending approval by the Board of County Commissioners.

The deal would add nearly 1,200 acres of open space land to Golden’s Centennial Cone Park and surrounding parks.

The proposed deal came about in part, via Martin Marietta wanting to increase operations in its openpit mine outside of Golden.

Matt Robbins, Community Connections Manager, explained the change that will net Jeffco Open Space more than 1000 additional acres compared to the original proposal.

According to Robbins, Martin Marietta originally approached JCOS to expand their mining operations onto around 64 acres of JCOS’s Matthews/Winters Park.

But JCOS is prohibited from giving up open space land without getting an equal or greater amount of land (or dollars) in exchange — and it has to be undeveloped land.

So, Martin Marietta proposed a deal offering select parcels of land to the north of the mine totaling 130 acres to JCOS in exchange for the 64 acres they needed to expand.

One of those parcels was a roughly 60-acre plot where the Heritage Square amusement park and parking lot once stood.

As JCOS was considering the deal, the Goltra family, large landholders in the county, contacted them about selling nearly 1200 acres of their Goltra Ranch property known as Guy Gulch to JCOS. The land that makes up Centennial Cone Park was originally sold to JCOS by the Goltra family as well.

According to Robbins, the family was happy with the way the Centennial Cone Park deal had gone. They wanted to know the additional 1200 acres (they want to sell) would be protected from future development.

Robbins said JCOS was interested in acquiring the land but didn’t have the funds to make the deal. Initially, they planned to raise the money by selling off the amusement park/parking lot site from the proposed Martin Marietta deal.

He said they could have done that, but it’s something (selling commercial real estate) they don’t normally do.

So, a new plan was formed.

A bull elk patrols a meadow near Elk Range Trail at Centennial Cone Park. That section of the Open Space park is often part of a seasonal closure to allow the area elk herd COURTESY PHOTO space during calving season.

JCOS pitched Martin Marietta on amending the deal under consideration.

Instead of giving the former amusement park site to JCOS, they wanted Martin Marietta to keep that plot (along with water rights) and sell it themselves and

reimburse JCOS $14.5 million for the purchase of the Goltra property.

Robbins said Martin Marietta agreed it was a good solution and are amending their proposal accordingly.

Among important provisions

from the original deal that remain in the amended version, at the end of Martin Marietta’s mining operations, the mining land will revert to Jefferson County ownership, to be used as a reservoir.

Additionally, JCOS will receive $4.5 million in cash payments over 30 years (at a rate of $150,000 per year).

As for the effects of increased mining operations In a previous interview, Martin Marietta West Division President Abbott Lawrence said the company would utilize the same practices that it already utilizes at the existing mine and that the operations impacts on the community would not change.

The Guy Gulch deal, if completed, would accomplish more than a third of JCOS’s goal of acquiring 3000 acres of land in the next five years. During the Aug. 5 JCOS Advisory Committee meeting, Deputy Director, Hillary Merritt said the Goltra family is hoping to close the deal by the end of the 2021 calendar year.

Merritt said if accomplished, the Martin Marietta deal should be finalized around August of 2022. She said Martin Marietta has already agreed to all terms in the amended deal, but if it should happen to fall through, JCOS would be able to fund the Guy Gulch deal with money currently budgeted for land acquisition over the next few years.

Kiwanis commences cornhole competition Inaugural tossing tourney tempts 60 teams

CORNHOLE TOURNEY WINNERS The winners of the tourney, Craig Sammon and Mike Moore from Greeley won $800 for coming out on top.

The duo said they’ve played competitively before, and heard about the Evergreen tournament through a friend of a friend.

“It’s awesome up here,” said Sammon, “ the people, the venue...”

“Wonderful atmosphere,” said Moore.

Second place was awarded $350. The third place team won $250.

BY GLENN WALLACE GWALLACE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Four bean bags, a board with a hole in it and some folks willing to give it a toss — that’s all that’s needed for a game of cornhole.

And on Aug. 14, more than 120 folks gathered on Buchanan field to do just that at the inaugural “Toss for a Cause” Blue Spruce Kiwanis Cornhole Tournament.

Sixty teams of two, playing in a double elimination bracket, competed in the new event.

Dale Tolan, the treasurer for Blue Spruce Kiwanis and the tournament referee, started the day by directing each team to the correct set of cornhole headboards to begin the tournament. Tolan said he likes to play the game but would be solely the referee for the day.

Going over the tourney bracket with him, some names stand out, like Hitting Holes and Crushing Souls, Children of the Cornholes and Two Corny Chicks.

“This one stands out for me,” said Tolan, gesturing to This One’s for Mike. “This guy’s partner Mike passed away suddenly after they had signed up. He got a new partner, and they’re playing on.”

Kristy Tolan, Dale’s wife, is also the Blue Spruce Kiwanis presi-

dent. She said during the COVID-19 pandemic, a small group of their friends would occasionally gather outside to play the game.

“I started thinking about a small friendly tournament, and it grew,” she said, gesturing to the crowd of players across the field.

The local Kiwanis group used to run the annual chili cook-off as one of its major fundraiser of the year.

That event has become a specific fundraiser for area fire departments though, leaving the local Kiwanis club in search of a new event that could raise money for the many children’s

organizations and programs that have long been assisted by the club.

Among those organizations is the Boy Scouts, including Troop 888, which is chartered through Blue Spruce and also helped set up the tournament grounds for the day.

The number of signed-up teams meant some locals were conscripted to bring their own cornhole boards down to the field. Among those who answered the call was John Thompson of Evergreen. His partner was Tom Carby.

“We get paired up with my wife first round!” said Thompson.

“It’s nice to be involved with the community and not just through business,” said Larry Olde, who was stationed at the concession stand at the cornhole tournament.

“You’ve got to give back,” he said.

Olde would know. He’s one of the founding charter members of the Blue Spruce Kiwanis. His father, and his father before him were members of Kiwanis clubs too.

For more information about Kiwanissponsored events, as well as details about how to get involved, go to www. bluesprucekiwanis.org/ Kristy Tolan said she was pleased with the turnout and community support of the brand new event.

“And the money we raise goes to kids and kids organizations in Evergreen.”

Play ball!

Workshops teach baseball’s fundamentals, culminating in big games for kids

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Area youngsters are learning America’s pastime.

About 30 4- to 8-year-olds have been attending Evergreen Park & Recreation District workshops to learn either T-ball or coach-pitch baseball, practicing the basics once a week for five weeks until the big games that culminated their experience.

During the entertaining games on Aug. 9, they hit the ball, ran the bases, tried to catch the ball and tagged each other out. Both were high-scoring games at Stagecoach Park although no one kept track.

Best of all, players and parents alike had fun.

“The large majority of the kids didn’t know how to hold a baseball much less throw it,” coach Bill Hughes said. “My goal all along is for them to experience a real baseball game.”

He began by teaching them to toss eggs, so they learned the importance of soft hands when handling the ball. Then they used tennis balls followed by soft-core baseballs. He explained to them that having the EvergreenArtsWeek_half_horiz2.pdf ball is like holding a dirty diaper:

You want to get rid of it pretty fast by throwing it to the appropriate player to make an out.

After six sessions, aiming a throw and catching the ball are still skills to be practiced, along with knowing which way to run to first base, but that’s perfectly OK, according to 8/12/21 10:11 AM Hughes.

“I just wanted to teach them the fun of fundamentals,” he said, and during practices and the game, he is very encouraging.

As they were watching and cheering in the stands, parents had nothing but good things to say about the program and Hughes.

“This is beautiful chaos,” said

much fun for her son that she’d do it again.

“I like how so many dads were on the field as coaches,” she said, explaining that dads helped teach children the skills.

Parent Erin Jackman whose daughter Elizabeth and son Colin played T-ball, said she wanted her children to learn the sport and the mechanics of playing, and it was important to her that they learned the right way.

“Coach Bill is so patient with them,” she noted.

The coach-pitch baseball group had older players, most of whom were also new to the sport. For that team’s game, Hughes brought in three Evergreen High School baseball players to help coach and to give the youngsters something to aspire to.

Junior Trenton Smith, freshman Brendan Smith and sophomore Cody Fay took turns pitching and coaching at the bases. They say they have been playing practically since they could walk, so they understand the importance of learning baseball skills at a young age.

At the end of the T-ball game on Aug. 9, the coach presented players with a baseball that he signed and put their names on to commemorate

their first foray into baseball. For the coach-pitch final game on Aug. 9, Hughes had the three EHS players also sign the game balls.

Hughes told the youngsters that the game ball is usually awarded to the player who makes the biggest difference in the game, and because everyone did such a great job, he couldn’t choose, so everyone got one.

“All of you played well,” he told the children, noting that the ball would be a keepsake of their first baseball game.

Anne Paterson’s son Jack Whitler, who played with the coach-pitch group, wanted to learn to play baseball.

“Coach Bill wants them to have fun,” she said. “That’s important.”

Jeffco boys golf season opens up at Applewood Golf Course

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

GOLDEN — Chatfield senior Zach Lewis got to experience something new and exciting Aug. 11 at Applewood Golf Course.

After playing on Chatfield’s boys golf Level-3 developmental squad and JV team over the past two years, Lewis teed up in his first varsity tournament at the Class 5A/4A Jeffco League tournament opener.

“I want to have fun and play with a good attitude,” Lewis said. “I want to be strong.”

Lewis is in the Significant Support Needs (SSN) Program at Chatfield, but nothing has held Lewis back from improving his golf game over the years. Chatfield boys golf coach Brady Stambaugh saw the athletic talent before Lewis started his high school career.

“I’ve known Zach since he was in the eighth grade. I was his PE teacher at Deer Creek Middle School,” Stambaugh said moments before Lewis teed off. “He was by far one of the best athletes we had come from the challenge room. I remember him being an awesome badminton player.”

At tryouts last week Lewis tied for fifth to make the varsity team.

“You want your team to be as good as possible. Every so often there are kids you are rooting for to make it,” Stambaugh said. “Zach was one of them we were watching throughout tryouts. He as really earned it himself. He has gotten a lot better and improved.”

Lewis said he has been playing golf since he was 2 years old and also plays on Chatfield’s Unified basketball team.

“I want to hit some good shots so I can be like Tiger Woods,” Lewis said before he shot a round of 104 in the first of six Jeffco League tournaments this fall.

“Because of his situation, he approaches golf in a slightly different way,” Stambaugh said of Lewis. “He teaches things to the other guys that he plays with. He has an amazing demeanor for golf. He doesn’t hold onto things or get angry. It clicks for him. When he gets on a golf course

it’s natural for him.”

Things really clicked for Ralston Valley senior Gage Messingham at Applewood.

The defending 5A Jeffco individual medalist started his round with an eagle after driving the par-4 No. 1 hole. Messingham finished with a 4-under-par, 67, edging Arvada West junior Yusuke Ogi (68) by a stroke and Lakewood senior Max Lange (69) by two strokes.

Swimming, biking and racing to the finish line 75 children participate in the annual Kids Triathlon

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Sunday’s annual Kids Triathlon was an exercise in controlled chaos as kids ages 5-10 swam, rode bikes and ran in what was for some their first experience in the sport.

About 75 children participated in the event, which is not timed but just gives them a chance to be outside, be active and do something healthy, according to Maren Schreiber, who coordinates the event. In addition, it’s a fundraiser for the Evergreen Park & Recreation District’s INSPIRE special needs program.

A parking area at the Buchanan Park Recreation Center was the staging area, where children changed shoes, grabbed bikes and got some water as they moved between activities.

Parents helped their children between events, cheered and encouraged the participants, held signs and more to make the event that much more fun for everyone. Some parents even joined their children in the run portion of the event.

The younger participants swim, bike and run shorter distances than the older participants. Competitors were given a painted rock, courtesy of the National Charity League, as a prize when they completed all tasks.

Sebastian Morris, 5, competed in his first triathlon, though he has plenty of experience with the individual sports, according to his mom, Liz Levy. He participated in the Freedom Run 5K on July 4.

Sitting in a chair above the chaos was Mark Woodworth of Littleton.

He held up a small sign that said, “Go Solomon Go!” to cheer on his grandson. Other signs were ready to cheer on grandson Arthur, 10.

“They are the greatest joys in my life,” Woodworth, a retired elementary school principal, said of his grandsons. “It’s so great to see these kids achieve something like this. It will help them later in life because they know they can achieve goals at

“We love this,” Kara said. “We love the experience. The distances

After grandson Solomon, 8, finished his triathlon, he sat with his grandfather as they waited for Arthur to finish.

“I’m so proud of you,” Mark told Solomon. “You did a good job.”

School supply distribution gets VIP helper 5,000 students receive backpacks in annual event

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Jeffco Schools Superintendent Tracy Dorland helped hand out school supplies at the Action Center’s annual school supply event Aug. 11 at Stevens Elementary School in Wheat Ridge.

Dorland was able to interact with families as they picked up pencils, crayons, backpacks and more.

“I’m just so excited for the partnership with the Action Center and the amazing support for our community and our students,” Dorland said. “It’s always better when you have what you need to go back to school and you feel like you’re coming in on the first day excited and ready with new items and fun things to learn with. What a special event and a great partnership!”

Tawney Eisenbraun, the Action Center’s marketing and communications manager, said the organization has served 1,600 students in the first two days of the event.

“We’re excited to welcome back the families. We’re allowing the kids back in — last year we didn’t because of COVID,” she said.

When the kids arrive, they get checked in and get their supplies — crayons, paper, pens, glue — anything on the list for their grade.

Colorful backpacks ready for new owners were distributed at Stevens Elementary School in Wheat Ridge.

Then they can make their way across the hall to the school’s gym, where they can pick out a backpack.

The backpacks, stored by grade-level, are also full of supplies the kids will need.

The event runs like a well-oiled machine. Families are given appointment times and ushered in accordingly. Then, from registration through picking out a backpack, they’re able to move through at a surprisingly quick pace. Eisenbraun says most of the families are able to complete the whole experience in about five minutes.

Pam Brier, the Action Center’s executive director, said the event is huge for the community because kids need to go back to school feeling ready, prepared and excited about the new school year.

The remaining schools are getting other improvements.

In-person learning “It’s about letting people get back in the school, getting kids back in, and building climate and culture,” Ingrid Mielke, Parmalee’s principal, said. “We don’t want kids to be anxious about returning to school, and we’re adjusting as we need to.”

Mielke said Parmalee is putting additional resources into literacy, “and we’re really getting back into those good instructional practices we’ve already done in the past.”

The principals agree that it will take time to get all students comfortable with collaborating face to face rather than online.

“It’s really just about spending time, reconnecting and working with each other in person,” West Jefferson Middle School principal Kim Halingstad said. “That’s really our focus. It’s getting our kids reengaged.”

Stephany Fritz, Wilmot’s principal, explained that it was important for kids to feel like they are known to adults and students alike at the school, especially after a weird and disconnected 2020-21 school year.

She’s planning team-building exercises for students to start the school year.

“It sounds sort of cheesy, but we want to have fun,” Woodland said.

“If kids are not having fun, they aren’t really learning.”

Hyde wants to elevate the idea of the whole child while still focusing on academics. During the pandemic, some kids thrived with online learning while others didn’t, so it’s the schools’ jobs to move students forward.

Rocky Mountain Academy of Evergreen, a public charter school, was able to have in-person classes all year last year because of improvements to its HVAC system and more. Principal Ann Hudson said her staff was the strongest she’s worked with in her career, and she’s looking forward to continuing to educate students.

during the school day to provide students with additional support in various areas.

Evergreen High School will continue its academic goals, but will place an additional focus on school culture and the social/emotional wellbeing of students, according to principal Brandon Brekke. In fact, the school has set aside time each week for community building.

Using lessons learned because of the pandemic, the school also is trying an online Spanish class, hoping that students can take advantage of the online opportunity in addition to in-person classes.

As Halingtstad put it, “We have a lot of work to do. We’re going to get back into the business of school.”

Construction Conifer High School dedicated its new auxiliary gymnasium on Monday, and Athletic Director Eric Kragel said the extra space will allow for more sports practices to hap-

pen simultaneously, and the gyms can be open to the community in off times. The entryway remodeling is still under construction.

Construction has started on Marshdale’s new building, Martin said, though it was delayed over the summer because of the difficulty getting materials. He wants to find way to integrate construction concepts into the curriculum.

At West Jeff Elementary, the lower playground has been redone, and at West Jeff Middle, bond funds were used primarily for recarpeting classrooms and fresh paint, with most of the money going to replacing an outdated HVAC system.

The new classroom wing at Parmalee opened this week, though some of the interior renovations are still in process. Principal Mielke said she asked the construction company to complete student spaces first and leave the office remodeling until last.

Hudson is excited that Rocky Mountain Academy’s founders’ vision for the school is being realized as it breaks ground on what it is calling The Den, a multipurpose building with a full basketball court and performance area. The school is also getting a new playground later this fall plus additional parking areas.

Work at Elk Creek Elementary will begin this school year, while work is ongoing at Evergreen Middle School.

Evergreen High School started a day late this week so workers could complete asbestos abatement, and throughout the year, classrooms will get upgrades, Brekke said.

Jeffco’s Comstock talks masks with educators County’s top health official calls Delta variant a game-changer

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Jefferson County Public Health’s Executive Director Dawn Comstock, spoke with Jeffco school leaders and principals in an Aug. 10 Zoom meeting about COVID-19 guidance for schools.

During the virtual forum, Comstock showed slides containing current COVID-19 infection, vaccination and hospitalization rates in the county. She also answered questions from participants and explained JCPH’s position on masks in schools, for students and educators.

Referring to a slide outlining rising numbers and severity of the Delta variant cases in children,

Comstock said it shows COVID-19 infections do occur among the youngest populations, and they can transmit COVID to others.

“You can see that unfortunately with the rise of the Delta variant the incidence rate of younger individuals in our society is very quickly approaching that of adults in Jefferson County,” she said.

So, why is this occurring?

To be blunt, Comstock said, it’s because of the Delta variant.

“The Delta variant has changed the playing field in our ongoing fight against COVID-19,” she said. “And I’m really trying to impress upon you, the need for schools to adjust in regard to this new Delta variant to protect your students, faculty and staff.”

Sample testing conducted by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment shows the Delta variant is now responsible for more than 90% of all COVID-19 infections in Colorado.

Comstock said vaccinations are

not where it needs to be to protect the county’s children as they return to school this month.

More than 58.7% of eligible school-age children are currently vaccinated in Jefferson County.

Of the 1,318 COVID-19 cases in Jefferson County in July, 69.7% were among those who’d had no vaccination. Another 5.5% of cases were among individuals that were partially vaccinated.

Comstock said the data shows that the overwhelming majority of deaths from COVID-19 are among the unvaccinated, and every individual under age 20 hospitalized due to COVID-19 has been unvaccinated.

“We haven’t had a single hospitalization in Jefferson County among 12- to 19-year-olds who are vaccinated — every single one has been unvaccinated,” she said.

JCPH data shows that among adults, 87.4% of those hospitalized for the virus in the county are unvaccinated.

The American Academy of Pediat-

rics, a professional group that represents more than 67,000 pediatricians nationally, and the Colorado chapter of the AAP, which represents more than 80 pediatricians in Colorado both recommend a layered approach to make schools as safe as possible for teachers, students and staff.

That layered approach says all students old enough to get the vaccine should do so. And all children over age 2 and all staff should wear masks unless there’s a developmental condition that prohibits use.

CDPHE has also released a document to help schools follow Centers for Disease Control guidance. Its recommendation is for schools to consider universal masking or at a minimum, masking for unvaccinated individuals indoors.

In addition to Colorado guidance, the CDC has released guidance for reducing the spread of COVID-19 in a school setting. It too, recommends mask wearing, vaccination for all those who are eligible, screening, testing, isolation and quarantine.

Pandemic entering new stage as county, employers work to respond to Delta JCPH planning to enforce quarantines in schools

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With just four days to go until

the first day of school across Jeffco, JCPH Executive Director Dawn Comstock said there was one word that described her feelings about lo-

cal kids returning to the classroom: apprehensive.

“That’s how I’m feeling given where we are with the resurgence of COVID due to the Delta variant and the fact that all of those school children less than 12 years of age cannot yet be protected through vaccination,” she said.

After a multi-month decrease that brought the county’s rate of new COVID-19 cases to their lowest point since the start of the pandemic, Comstock said those rates have been steadily rising since July 4. The increased nearly five-fold between July 8 and Aug. 8.

Comstock said data analysis completed by JCPH has “made clear that individuals who are still unvaccinated are driving the pandemic in Jeffco.” In June, when countywide COVID rates were comparatively low, the incidence rate for fully vaccinated was 15.1 per 100,000. For those who were not vaccinated, it was 355.1 per 100,000.

As of Aug. 9, 75.1% of Jeffco residents who are eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine had received at

least one dose of one.

Comstock notes that the last time Jefferson County was seeing incidence rates above 200 per 100,000, there were a variety of restrictions in place on everything from indoor gatherings and dining to bars. However, nearly all of those restrictions have since been lifted.

“Those unvaccinated individuals are not only threatening the health of everyone else, they are truly threatening our economic recovery and the ability of our school children to return to in-person learning,” she said. “We have to get people vaccinated.”

Schools a concern As Jeffco students return to school, they will find that some of the COVID-19 requirements they came to know last school year have changed or gone away entirely.

For example, masks are now only required for students ages 3-11 (the age group that cannot yet get vaccinated) while the definition of an SEE DELTA, P21

outbreak from two or more cases to five or more, which Comstock said will diminish the number of kids in schools who are having to quarantine as a result of classroom outbreaks.

Comstock has said JCPH will continue to enforce quarantines in response to classroom exposures as it has since the start of the pandemic.

She said the decision to continue to enforce existing quarantine requirements was because “there is nothing special about exposure in a school versus any other setting” where JCPH would enforce quarantine requirements, which she said it does for a variety of highly-infectious diseases and not just COVID-19.

When a Jeffco resident tests positive for COVID-19 in Jeffco, the law requires that those results must be reported to both JCPH and the state by the lab that conducts the test.

JCPH staff then follow up with the person who has tested positive to inform them that they need to isolate and interview them about close contacts they may have had who also need to quarantine.

However, Comstock said that will now follow CDPHE guidance that someone now be considered a “close contact” within the school setting if they were within three feet of an infectious individual for a total of at least 15 minutes over a 24-hour period. The previous standard was six feet.

Comstock said she has also informed JCPS that this quarantine rule will not apply to students who are vaccinated or unvaccinated students who were wearing a mask at the time of their close contact.

Those changes were implemented because of JCPH’s belief in the effectiveness of masks and vaccinations, she said, before pointing to a recent report produced by Colorado Children’s Hospital based on studies conducted by several agencies that schools that implement universal masking policies experience disease transmission rates of 1-4% while those without mask policies saw rates of 11-27%.

“Those parents that are fighting against masks in school, they may not recognize it but they are endangering our ability to keep those kids in school,” she said. “Because if they are unmasked and they are a close contact we have to quarantine them.”

Unlike last year, quarantine decisions will not be made by individual schools but rather by JCPH, which will notify families and schools of quarantine requirements.

Comstock said JCPH was also gearing back up to resume efforts to bring mobile vaccine clinics to

SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE

schools using three mobile units that can go up to two schools a day.

As of Aug. 13, about 58% of Jeffco residents ages 12-18 were vaccinated, a number which leaves schools vulnerable.

“We’re working with as many of our school partners as possible to make sure it happens for the kids 12 and up now and then that we are also ready to make it happen for the under-12 age group when they are approved to be vaccinated,” she said.

A new focus on employer mandates As concerns about Delta’s spread have increased throughout the nation, governments and private employers have announced new mandates for their employees for their employees to get vaccinated and/or wear masks at work.

But while both the Federal government, the state of Colorado and the city of Denver are among them, Jeffco so far isn’t.

On Aug. 11, Jefferson County Public Affairs Director Julie Story confirmed to Colorado Community Media that the county does not have any current mask or vaccine requirements for its employees, and is not tracking which employees have and have not been vaccinated.

However, Story also pointed to a statement issued by Jefferson County Public Health on July 27 stating that it is now the county’s recommendation that all residents, regardless of vaccination status, resume wearing masks in indoor spaces.

“That’s been the latest messaging that we have put out to our employees as well,” said Story.

The city of Lakewood, which has the most city employees of any Jeffco municipality, is taking the same approach, city spokeswoman Stacie Oulton said.

“We are following and will continue to follow the guidance of Jefferson County Public Health,” she said in an email to Colorado Community Media. “Given that, we have told employees and visitors that they are strongly encouraged to wear masks indoors regardless of COVID-19 vaccination status.”

Other employers, however, are taking more forceful steps. On Aug. 12, SCL Health announced that all of its associates and physicians will be required to be fully vaccinated

by Nov. 1. However, Centura Health, which owns St. Anthony’s Hospital, is not taking that approach a spokesman said.

“Centura is not mandating the vaccine for our caregivers at this point,” said Centura Communications Field Advisor Kevin Massey.

“About 80 percent of our 21,000 caregivers have been vaccinated, and we are hopeful that the number will continue to rise.”

Lockheed Martin, Jeffco’s largest employer with around 7,000 employees in the county according to the Jefferson County Economic Council, has said that as of June 1 unvaccinated employees must continue to adhere to masking and social distancing protocols while fully vaccinated employees are exempt from them.

When asked about the possibil-

ity of a need for mask or vaccine mandates for Jeffco employees, Comstock said that the spread of the Delta variant means it is no longer enough to “appeal to people’s better angels” and that more must be done to get ahead of the current spike in cases before catastrophe strikes.

“If that means that we have to encourage businesses to encourage vaccination for their employees then we will but I think there is an easier approach,” she said.

That approach?

“What we absolutely should demand as a society now is anyone who has made a decision not to be vaccinated needs to prove that they are not putting other people at risk...,” she said. “So I would love to see businesses in Jefferson County require their fellow employees prove they are not a risk to their fellow team members or the public by either getting vaccinated or getting tested weekly and showing the proof of that negative test.”

In Comstock’s mind, such an approach would preserve individual choice while greatly decreasing the ability of the virus to spread in workplaces.

“If you really don’t want to get vaccinated, I disagree with you but I’ll respect your opinion only if you prove to me that you are not putting other people at risk,” she said.

Metro area offers lesser-known historical sites

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

W

hile the Denver metro area is dotted with well-known aging ranches and charming historical homesteads, some history lovers of the area may be in search of a different kind of site — one they either haven’t heard of before or that they must romp through the woods to access.

In search of these types of unusual history sites, one place to look is the National Register of Historic Places.

For each of the counties that surround Denver — not to mention all the counties in the United States — this register provides a list of historically significant sites, some of which are unique or little-known sites.

Some of these sites, like an abandoned, rattlesnake-ridden military amphitheater in Golden, aren’t available for public access. Others, like Native American shelters in Douglas County, have a restricted location to protect them from being disturbed.

But some on the list are simply often-overlooked historical sites in the area.

The list includes bridges, farms, schools, archaeological sites and more and offers new discoveries for residents curious about all the nooks and crannies of their community’s history.

Here are a few of the Denver area’s hidden history gems from the National Register of Historic Places and beyond.

Pioneer graves in Commerce City Did you know that Denver’s oldest cemetery is mostly in Commerce City?

Riverside Cemetery, located a half-mile north of I-70 at 5201 Brighton Boulevard, was built in 1876 and registered with the national register in 1994.

While the 77-acre cemetery is surrounded by industrial properties, the cemetery itself serves as a peaceful resting place for many of Colorado’s pioneers. One afternoon in August, the giant cemetery stood mostly quiet and empty save for a few birds.

The gravesite serves as the final resting place for three of Colorado’s governors — John Evans, Samuel Elbert and John Routt. Pioneers buried there include Augusta Tabor, a Gold Rush pioneer; Barney Ford, who escaped from slavery; and Silas Soule, an abolitionist and soldier who testified against Col. John Chivington and the Colorado Cavalry after the Sand Creek Massacre and was then assassinated in the streets of Denver.

Throughout the cemetery there are dozens of unique headstones, including a log cabin replica, SEE HISTORICAL, P23

An online tour brochure of the cemetery guides drivers and walkers through the historic site, which is still open for new burials. The brochure tells the stories of several of the people buried there and provides general information about the cemetery. The informational pamphlet is available at www.

A nonprofit that helps preserve the cemetery, Friends of Historic Riverside Cemetery, accepts donations to help maintain the property, which they say is “in a state of rapid decline.” Some may notice that many of the trees on the property have died and the ground cover is mostly weeds and native grass.

“Over the fall and winter of 20082009, several dead trees fell and damaged nearby monuments and a historic private mausoleum,” according to the nonprofit’s website.

“Many more were taken down to manage this risk, but additional trees are in danger of falling during future storms or periods of strong winds.”

The driveable and walkable cemetery is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.

Walking among mammoths in Douglas County While many have heard of Dinosaur Ridge near Morrison, there’s

more than one significant archaeological site in the area.

Lamb Spring Archaeological Preserve in Douglas County is a less well-known site but it has the highest concentration of mammoth remains in the state. It also offers free tours.

“You can go on the site and see where they were,” said Cameron Randolph, vice chair of the preserve’s board of directors.

In 1960, Charles Lamb was expanding a pond fed by a natural spring on his property when he came upon several large bones that were later identified as Columbian Mammoth remains.

After several excavations of the site, archaeologists found the remains of at least five mammoths but there could be up to 30 mammoths that died at the site.

During its life, an adult male Columbian Mammoth could grow up to 14 feet high at its shoulder. Other remains found on the site include Ice Age horses, camels, sloths and bison.

There’s also evidence that the site was used by prehistoric people in the area as a hunting site. If confirmed with more research, that would put humans in that area 2,000 years earlier than previously thought, Rudolph said.

Today, the site is 35 acres of protected land between Roxborough Park and Sterling Ranch. It was added to the national register in 1997.

Free tours of the site are available on the first Saturday of each month during much of spring, summer and fall. Visitors can see where the remains were discovered, see a

cast of one of the mammoth skulls found there and learn more about the region from the preserve’s docents. This year, the last organized tour will be Oct. 2. The site also offers private tours.

Eventually, the organization hopes to have a museum on the site of the excavation, Rudolph said.

The preserve will also host tours and demonstrations as part of International Archaeological Day on Oct. 16 in coordination with Roxborough State Park.

Donations to the organization are welcome during tours. Residents interested in learning more about the preserve or signing up for a tour can do so by visiting www.

LambSpring.org or their Facebook page at www.Facebook.com/LambSpringAP. Visit a castle near Morrison For those history lovers who yearn for a workout before their history lesson, there’s Castle Trail in Morrison’s Mount Falcon Park.

The 6.7-mile, nearly 2,000-foot elevation gain loop trail leads hikers to the castle ruins of one of Denver’s early settlers and one of the area’s interesting historical characters: John Brisben Walker.

In the park are both Walker’s stone mansion, destroyed by a fire, and the cornerstone of a nevercompleted home that Walker hoped would be a summer White House for the U.S. presidents.

Born in 1847, Walker ended up in Denver 32 years later after having served as a general in the Chinese army, running for Congress, winning and losing a fortune and managing two newspapers, according to

Morrison Historical Society.

Once in Denver, he dabbled in agriculture and made himself a new fortune before going on to develop River Front Park, an amusement park that also held Denver’s first rodeo. He made a series of other purchases including Governor Evans’ “Swiss Cottage” in Morrison and all of what is now Red Rocks Park and Mount Falcon.

After a few years away from Colorado — during which time he bought the then-failing Cosmopolitan magazine, later sold it to William Randolph Hearst and also sponsored the first automobile race in the United States — Walker returned to Morrison in the early 20th century.

From there, Walker began working on developing the area, building a road into town, adding a tea house and constructing hiking trails. He also built a railway to the top of Mount Morrison, making it the longest cog railway in the world at the time.

During this “period of enthusiasm” Walker also dreamed up the idea of a permanent summer home for U.S. presidents, according to the historical society. Construction began on top of Mount Falcon and the cornerstone was laid, but before it could be completed, the finances dried up and the project fizzled.

Nearby, Walker built his home, a stone mansion that was destroyed by fire in 1918.

Walker, by then a widower with a son, moved to Brooklyn and then died in 1931. Today, the remains of his home and his dream of a summer White House remain for visitors to see in Mount Falcon Park.
