75 CENTS
Three is a magic number

The Evergreen attorney who pleaded guilty to six felonies including soliciting someone to kill her estranged husband’s girlfriend will spend 10 years in prison. After three and a half hours of testimony during Jennifer Emmi’s sentencing hearing on Emmi Aug. 16, District Judge Randall Arp said he saw two sides of Emmi: the successful attorney and loving mother, and then the side of Emmi who committed the criminal acts that also included menacing, attempting to influence a judge and retaliation against a witness. He said her behavior and her failure to be accountable and take responsibility for her actions indicated she would not be a good candidate for rehabilitation, and her actions could not be condoned in civilized society. The prosecution asked for the sentence to include prison time, and the defense asked for probation. Colin Bresee, Emmi’s attorney, SEE EMMI, P9
The annual Triple Bypass road bike ride hits the road Aug. 21, after being canceled last year. Riders doing the full ride departed from Evergreen’s Buchanan Park. Many headed out around 6 a.m., but all participating riders had to depart by 8 a.m. in order to have a PHOTO BY GLENN WALLACE chance of completing the 106-mile course in time.
Triple Bypass bike ride rolls again BY GLENN WALLACE GWALLACE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
For a cyclist, few things in life are more enjoyable than an epic ride over great terrain. But an epic ride over great terrain with ample support staff, feed sta-
tions and 4,999 riding buddies would probably qualify. That was certainly the case according to Ken Reardon of Fort Collins, who said he’d done the Triple Bypass before, “but not in a long time.” “I ride competitively, but with organized races being weird the last two years ... I just wanted a nice, fun ride.” Though, he admitted that he
would still be checking his road times. The Triple Bypass —a classic “bucket list” item for many cyclists and a bragging point for its veterans — is named for the three passes along the course, which winds from Buchanan Park in Evergreen over Juniper Pass (11,140 feet elevation), down through Idaho Springs and SEE TRIPLE BYPASS, P15
