75 CENTS

Three is a magic number

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

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

Richard Dean ‘Dick’ Dolecek

Jan. 6, 1944 - Aug. 4, 2021

5/18/1948 - 8/11/2021

Richard Dean (Dick) Dolecek died peacefully on Wednesday, August 11, 2021, surrounded by his family and friends after a courageous battle with cancer. Dick was born on May 18, 1948, in Russell, Kansas, to Bob and Doloris Dolecek. He was raised in Kansas and later Aurora, Colorado. He attended the Colorado School of Mines where he earned a degree in geophysical engineering. His first job, with Exxon, took him to Texas where he met Janie Hornsby, his wife of 45 years. His career took him back to Colorado in 1977. They made their home in Evergreen where their three children were born and raised. Dick was President of Greystone Exploration Corporation, and CEO of Discovery Exploration, Inc. His work in the oil business took him all over the western U.S. where he had many friends, partners, and business acquaintances. Dick enjoyed living life! His many interests included riding motorcycles with friends, his race

cars, camping at Silverjack, skiing, golf (sometimes), traveling with friends and family and screaming at refs. Dick was most comfortable and happy at his mountain home, surrounded by family and his dogs. (Oh, how he loved his dogs!) Last summer, the light of his life arrived at the birth of his granddaughter. Dick touched many with his generosity and humble nature. He had a quick smile and stories to tell! He is survived by his wife, children Andy (wife Melissa), Drew, and Katie (husband Jackson Avila, stepchildren Luna and Gael), grandchild Cora Jane, brother Vic Dolecek (wife Kelli), as well as many other in-laws, nephews and nieces. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Into Your Hands, Africa (intoyourhandsafrica.org). His family would like to remind all men to demand a PSA test during their yearly exams to prevent the ravages of prostate cancer.

New executive director coming to Bootstraps Colleen Skates is retiring and happy a friend is taking the helm BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Bootstraps Inc., the nonprofit that provides loans and scholarships to college students, is seeing a changing of the guard. But the person taking the helm has been part of the nonprofit for years. Colleen Skates is retiring on Feb. 22 — 2/22/22 — after 22 years from the organization, 12 years as the bookkeeper and 10 years as its executive director. Susan Henry, a current member of the Bootstraps board of directors, is taking over the position and starts on Oct. 1. But Skates won’t be far away. She is returning to the bookkeeper position. The two have been friends for 20 years. “Colleen and I go way back,” Henry said. “I am more than honored to follow in her footsteps. This is not your typical successor relationship, and I love this organization.” The nonprofit started in 1945 as the Evergreen Scholarship Association and awarded $150 two-year scholarships to two women. In 1992, ESA merged with Bootstraps, a local organization founded to provide interest-free loans to struggling college students, to form Evergreen

Scholarship/Bootstraps, and by 2009, the name reverted to Bootstraps Inc. In 2021, Bootstraps awarded 75 scholarships and loans totaling $223,000 to 55 students. “There’s a huge increase in our capacity to help students, and we’ve seen so many different kids go through so many different things, and they need help,” Skates said. Starting with Bootstraps Skates started a small bookkeeping business when her children were young, and Bootstraps hired her. Then when her kids graduated from high school, she created the executive director position. Henry said Skates made her join the Bootstraps board while Henry made Skates become the Conifer High School PTSA president. Henry worked for a time as the post-grad coordinator at CHS, so she saw firsthand students’ excitement at receiving a Bootstraps scholarship or loan. “They would come in my office and tell me,” she said. “That makes everything so worthwhile.” Enter the pandemic, and Henry started considering leaving her recruiting firm job to find something more meaningful. “I let my employer know that I would be making a change and trying to figure out what was meaningful work,” Henry said. “It was like the stars aligned. Colleen announced her retirement and asked if there was someone on the board

interested in the position. Then everything made sense. All my prior experience feeds into this position.” As a board member, Henry has been involved with selecting scholarship and loan recipients, calling it one of the best things about being on the board of directors. “There are so many different stories of students in our community who need help,” she noted. Bootstraps has even more meaning for Henry because her son, Matt Beach, received a couple scholarships from Bootstraps. She tears us when she talks about it. “He has just grown into such a

beautiful human being,” she said. “Bootstraps helped to empower him, knowing he had people believe in him and help him.” She said Matt’s story was one of hundreds of stories of scholarship recipients. Skates says she sees small projects in her retirement future. “The past few weeks have really made me realize that I’m definitely going to miss the interaction with the donors,” she said, noting, “To be able to sit down at 1 in the afternoon and pick up a book and not worry about what I’m supposed to be doing is such a luxury.”

time. Youngblood is pretty tonguein-cheek about the whole thing. Between the store and the district competition, Youngblood worked on a strategy to improve his shucking time. “I was practicing,” he said. “It was hard to break away from work, but every chance I got, I was honing my skills.” His strategy was simple: Try to peel the husks off in no more than three pulls. He said he had no coach, but he did have corn-shucking idols and people who offered encouragement. “I was singing `Eye of the Tiger’ as I was tearing the husks off the cobs of corn,” he noted. While the competitions were all in fun, he more seriously added: “This was a great thing to build community and teamwork and cheer up everyone in the store. Everybody who walked by while we were competing was smiling.” After the store competition, he received a corn-husk bouquet. Just like the Olympic athletes, he’s taking a short break before starting a strict regimen of exercise, weightlifting and corn shucking to prepare for next year’s tournaments. “Let’s have fun and shuck some corn,” he said. Humble about his first competitive experience, he really couldn’t say anything else but “Oh, shucks!”

How much corn can a corn shucker shuck if a corn shucker could shuck corn? Cody Youngblood, who works at the produce department at the Bergen Park King Soopers, found out recently when he won the store’s corn-shucking competition and then took fourth place at the King Soopers district competition, shucking 11 ears of corn in one minute. The winner, who works at another King Soopers, shucked 15 ears of corn in a minute — that’s one ear of corn shucked every four seconds. Youngblood, 33, of Bailey had no idea he had corn-shucking prowess, but he decided to give it a try after his boss asked him to participate in the Bergen Park store’s competition. Lo and behold, he has talent. Corn shucking is pulling the husks off an ear of corn. In the competition, participants didn’t have to worry about the corn silk. Both Youngblood and his boss, assistant manager Matt Shray, said the competition is all in good fun, with Shray adding that it was really nice to have a lighthearted event, especially after the difficult pandemic

Participants walk a mile to raise funds for JOY International BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Nearly 300 people took off their shoes at the Marshdale Fields on Aug. 21 to fight child trafficking one

step at a time. They attended the third annual Mountain Community Barefoot Mile, nearly doubling the size of the last two events, to raise money for JOY International, a Bailey-based organization that works to stop child sex trafficking. Organizers believe they collected more than their $50,000 goal. Dr. Jeff Brodsky, JOY International’s founder and president, said when he woke up Saturday morn-

Bryan Eklund and Mark Swaim from the band The Wrecklunds perform as they walk in the Barefoot Mile on Saturday at Marshdale Fields. The event raises money for JOY International, which fights child trafficking.

ing, he didn’t expect to see so many faces at the walk. He has spent 4,050 days barefoot, starting his quest to be in solidarity with enslaved children on July 19, 2010. “These children are abused in the most horrific way imaginable,” he told the crowd. “There is no worse crime against a child. If my going barefoot motivates just one person to help, then it’s worth it.” JOY International helps with rescue, reintegration of children into

society, prevention and education. “(Child abduction) happens right here in Colorado, even Evergreen,” Brodsky said, adding that JOY International couldn’t do the work it does without community financial support. Mark Swaim and Bryan Eklund with the Wrecklunds sang as they walked around the fields. Among the walkers was CarSEE BAREFOOT, P7

VOICES

Concept of the common good seems lost on some

he common good. As societal members, we acquiesce to all kinds of things for the common good. We follow the laws and norms of our communities. We pay taxes to provide national defense, law enforcement, common infrastructure, environmental protection and education for our children. Without much controversy or discussion, the vast majority of people agree to accept societal norms for the common good. And yet, as we face the most significant worldwide health crisis in our lifetimes, for many people the mantra continues that decisions they make about themselves have absolutely nothing to do with anyone else. We’ve seen it as vaccination rates for COVID-19 stalled before we reached herd immunity and set the

stage for the Delta variant to take hold during a time when we should have been able to put this terrible pandemic behind us. The pandemic now has new life that has put many people at risk and has further delayed a return to Columnist normalcy. And now the issue of use of masks to protect people and slow the spread has come back in new and ugly ways. Make no mistake, I hate wearing a mask. When we got to the point that mask restrictions were largely lifted, I loved the freedom and took great pleasure in being able to smile at people when I

GREG ROMBERG

encountered them. But as the Delta variant has taken hold and there is new guidance, I’ve made a point to not go out without a mask in my pocket and to put it on as soon as I interact with anyone wearing one. I’ve been particularly saddened by the reaction of some members of the public about whether kids should wear masks when they go back to school. As the vaccine has not yet been approved for kids under 12 and the variant puts so many people at risk, it’s eminently reasonable for us to take actions to protect our kids and as a statement of solidarity for everyone in the school setting to wear masks. To villainize health and school officials and otherwise argue that mask wearing is nothing more than

a personal decision is a complete abdication of our responsibility to be part of the common good. I wish enough people would be vaccinated to get us to herd immunity and allow us to lift mask restrictions again. But more than that, I wish those people who seem completely oblivious to the concept that their actions affect other people would open their eyes to the reality that we’re all in this crisis together. As reasonable members of society, and without a thought, we take actions for the common good every day. It’s well past time for people to rank the common good of ending the pandemic as our highest societal value. Greg Romberg is president of Romberg and Associates. He lives in Evergreen with his wife, Laurie.

Tips for using the Evergreen motor vehicle office

nyone fortunate enough to live in Jefferson County knows what a geographically diverse place this is, stretching from the western edge of metro Denver to our beautiful — and far more spread out — mountain communities. As the elected official in charge of providing motor vehicle services to all of Jeffco, I want to ensure our mountain-area residents know about the efforts our Evergreen office is taking to deliver the best possible customer experience. It begins with getting to know the places we serve. That’s why our Evergreen office supervisor Heather Kulesza recently took employees on a Saturday “field trip” to visit Evergreen, Morrison, Conifer, Foxton, Buffalo Creek and Pine. As Heather put it: “I wanted my team to see the mountain side of Jeffco, the areas where customers we serve live, and how far some people must drive to get here. If someone says they live ‘up the road,’ that could mean anywhere from 10 minutes away to an hour!” That fact also means we

want our customers to be able to avoid the trip altogether, whenever possible. Indeed, our Evergreen team loves seeing you, but with gas prices high and the pandemic unfortunately continuing, we encourage our customers to Jeffco Clerk & do things online. Most services, such Recorder as registration renewals, address changes, handicap placards and many new vehicle registrations, can be done from the comfort of your couch by visiting JeffcoDMV.com. Or, since you’re likely still going to the grocery store — regardless of gas prices or a stubborn pandemic — why not obtain your renewal stickers on the spot after getting your food? We have a registration renewal kiosk at the King Soopers store in Conifer at 25637 Conifer Road. Visit www.Jeffco.us/Kiosk for

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Some facts on hot topic I have been following the discussions about the new fire station and the people who think that the funds would be better off cutting fuels and mitigating their properties instead. As a former Chief Officer both paid and volunteer I have some things to say about this. First, it is not the responsibility of taxpayers to provide funds for maintenance of private property. You should have known when you bought your property that it had fuels that needed mitigating. Second, the fire department is run by professionals and has a board that does a great job with diverse backgrounds that allow it to provide oversight over the 9-10 million dollars our taxes go to. Third, we need the new station. The old one is too small. New fire trucks

do not fit in the bays. Firefighters have to cross highway 73 when they park to respond to calls. The district has saved money for this. It is not an expenditure they just did on a whim. Finally, the fire district is a great steward of our money. They are using refurbishing as an option for acquiring apparatus. A new engine would cost somewhere in the $600,000.00 range. They can have an existing truck sent to a manufacturer that will return in a near brand new condition for half the price. They have two 1992 and 2 1994 trucks that all offer an additional 20 years of frontline service through this process. That savings will go to replacing their medium rescue and other trucks.

Achieving success starts with defining success

he children laughed at one another as each took a turn playing the game. With each passing turn, the children laughed harder, cheering on their friends. The game they were playing was “pin the tail on the donkey.” As each attempt found its way somewhere other than the donkey, the farther away the tail landed, the greater the laughter. A blindfold makes it hard to hit a target that cannot be seen, especially after being spun around a few times before walking dizzily toward our destination. Although this is a game, with the players being blindfolded, there is still an intended target. It’s one thing to try and hit a target we cannot see, but something else altogether to hit a target we don’t have. “If you don’t know where you are going, any road can take you there.” — Lewis Carroll When pursuing personal growth or professional development goals, I have found that whatever it is that we are trying to achieve can be found in one of these four categories: increase, improve, expand, and/ or reduce. It is also helpful to make a distinction between increase and improve.

EMMI FROM PAGE 1

said they were disappointed with the verdict, noting that her defense team believed she would have been an excellent candidate for probation. “Speaking with Jennifer, she is deeply disappointed, and her biggest concern is access to her children that she still does not have,” Bresee said. Emmi received several other sentences that will be served concurrently with the longest being 10 years, though she was given credit for the seven months she has already been in jail. She will serve three years of probation once she is released. Arp said it would be up to the judge in her domestic relations case to decide whether she would be allowed to have contact with her three children. Emmi, 43, also known as Jennifer Edwards, is an animal rights attorney who began The Animal Law Center and is a media celebrity for her work helping animals. She was originally charged with more than 16 felonies and 16 misdemeanors filed over the last 20 months. The rest of the charges have been dismissed. The prosecution argued that Emmi had repeatedly tried to find someone to kill her estranged husband’s girlfriend and had endangered her children. This newspaper is choosing not to provide specifics of some of the charges to protect the children. Prosecutor Kate Knowles said

WINNING WORDS

As an example, a business looking to define success and align key performance goals may identify the need to increase revenue while at the same time improving their margins. Individuals I have worked out with Michael Norton may look to increase strength while improving stamina. And when we separate the two words, increase and improve, we are defining very clear goals and targets for each. Some of us look to expand our capabilities in an area of our life or business. We may want to expand our knowledge or skill. Some of us may look to expand our thinking to gain a better understanding of the people in our lives and events happening around the world. We can look for opportunities to open more stores or locations, expanding our market share, or expand our offerings and customer base. When it comes to defining success by reducing something, we look at things like reducing costs, reducing

inches from our waistline, reducing timelines to complete a project faster, reduce the turnover of our employees, or reduce the risks associated with our health, our business, or our finances. One of the primary reasons people and companies never settle on true goals or the definition of success is that we get caught up in the gray areas of what success looks like. We know that we want to get better in some way, but struggle with where to start. And how one person or business defines success can be vastly different from person to person and business to business. While working on performance development, I started focusing on those four words in my questions to help bring clarity to the conversation and direction around productivity goals. I will ask you the same thing I ask others, “What is it in your life or business that you are hoping to increase, improve, expand, and/or reduce?” One company that I worked with took this concept and created their sales plan that would lead them to having the best year ever. They used quantifiable metrics to measure themselves against: an increase in

customer knowledge and intimacy, improved relationships that deepened trust, expanded their thinking to focus on bundled solutions rather than single offerings, and to reduce the non-selling activities that took them away from customer interactions and communications. Elizabeth R. sent me a message after adopting this concept: “Thank you for helping me to take off the blindfold as I can clearly see my targets now. My goal is to increase my family time after work, improve my relationships with my husband, expand our family’s commitment to the community, and reduce the stresses of life by not spreading myself so thin.” Are you still playing the game of “pin the tail on the donkey”? Or have you taken off the blindfold to clearly see your goals and dreams? I would love to hear your story at mnorton@ tramazing.com, and when we take the time to define success, it really will be a better than good year. Michael Norton is the grateful CEO of Tramazing.com, a personal and professional coach, and a consultant, trainer, encourager and motivator to businesses of all sizes.

Emmi has portrayed herself as a victim who did nothing wrong, and she did not show any signs of letting go of trying to get her children back or stopping her behavior. She said the family needed to heal by ensuring their safety with Emmi incarcerated. Knowles said that Emmi invited media attention to the case, which caused additional harm to her children. “That’s not putting her children first,” she said. In two hours of testimony, the defense said Emmi was under more scrutiny than other people accused of such crimes, that she had been a respected animal-rights attorney who created an area of law still being used today, and she was a devoted mother who hadn’t seen her children in nearly 18 months. Defense attorney Bresee said she needed to be reintegrated with her children rather than being punished more by the court, and she was willing to continue counseling both alone and with her children. She has been working to resolve her mental health and alcohol abuse problems. He noted that she had been ill and given large doses of steroids that can cause anger issues, and when she spoke with someone about killing her estranged husband’s girlfriend, she decided to think about it and then said no. “Her life before 2018 shows she can lead a law-abiding life,” Emmi’s other defense attorney Malcolm Seawell said. “She recognizes that to be there for (her children) she has to take care

of herself. Probation will allow her to move on. She clearly lost her way … and we are asking that you allow her to find her way back.”

Emmi and her husband began having marital problems in January 2019, and when her husband threatened divorce, Jennifer began to complain of various illnesses, according to the arrest affidavit. In January 2020, the affidavit says she put a knife to her husband’s throat at a family birthday party. She also researched on the internet ways to evade law enforcement detection, according to the affidavit. The arrest affidavit says Emmi asked a ranch hand about killing her estranged husband’s girlfriend. The ranch hand informed the husband and the Jeffco Sheriff’s Office about the request and said when he warned Emmi that her husband might be killed too, she replied: “I’m inclined to kill two birds with one stone, so to speak,” according to the affidavit. Investigators also learned that Emmi approached another man who had been a trained military sniper about killing people for her, according to the affidavit.

Allegations in the affidavit The Jeffco Sheriff’s Office had been investigating Emmi since July 2020, and the affidavit states that she “conspired with and solicited multiple third parties to murder, harass, surveil, and retaliate against victims and witnesses in her criminal and civil cases.” Jeffco investigators found evidence that Emmi “has also been conducting research on and targeting numerous persons involved in her cases as well as their uninvolved family members. … (She) has contacted numerous third parties, alleging that her estranged husband and his girlfriend have kidnapped, brainwashed and are abusing her children as a long-term plot to frame (her), of which (the investigator) found no evidence,” the affidavit said.

Sheriff’s Calls Infan-tile EVERGREEN — Mat and Matt are floor guys. Working a job together on the morning of July 22, Mat was having a hard time hoisting a heavy piece of equipment. Matt made some crack about how Mat “wasn’t strong enough to pick it up.” Mat delivered a short left to Matt’s “left cheek” and a hard right “to my jaw.” Matt fought back for all of 10 seconds and then “ran away from there” to dial 911. Matt told deputies that the flooring company is owned by Mat’s family, and he was pretty sure that Mat and a posse of his fel-

low shareholders were even then en route to “beat me up.” Neither party wanted to press charges, so deputies lectured them both on proper workplace comportment and closed the case. A short time later both parties separately called JCSO to say they’d changed their minds and wanted the other charged with assault. Too little too late, officers advised.

She told her ex-husband to stop posting things about her and then called JCSO to explore the possibility of bringing harassment charges against him. Because the ex-husband’s comments were neither vulgar nor threatening, and because he’d apparently stopped visiting and posting about her when directed to do so, deputies didn’t have much to hang a charge on. Instead, they detailed the procedure for obtaining a protection order and suggested she call again if her ex-

husband should become a persistent problem.

Let them eat pancakes Evergreen Fire/Rescue hosts community breakfast BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It was pancake breakfast time at Evergreen Fire/Rescue on Saturday. Young and old alike stopped by for pancakes and sausage, and then visited with Colorado State Patrol and the Turnouts, which is the EFR auxiliary. While the event was smaller than in past years, it nonetheless was fun and community oriented. Fire Chief Mike Weege and firefighter Mike Amdur were the morning’s cooks, pouring batter, flipping the cakes and putting them into warming dishes. Weege is the master pancake maker, and Amdur said he was just learning, though he could flip pancakes with the best of them. Outside Fire Station 2, children checked out the towels, sunglasses, badges, chip clips, lip balm and more courtesy of Colorado State Patrol. The Davenport family, mom Brittney and sons Stirling, 5-1/2, Asher, 3-1/2, and Shepherd, 1-1/2, were excited about their haul of items. “This is the greatest day ever,”

Cycling team Health’s Angels came as a group from Ft. Worth, Texas, to ride the Triple Bypass this year. Member Wayne McCrow said the team often participates in Ride MS events and had been a top fundraising team for its area.

then up along the banks of Clear Creek and eventually over Loveland Pass (11,990 feet), wending past Keystone and Frisco before heading over Vail Pass (10,560 feet) and then down to the finish line in the town of Vail. This year’s race featured a “double bypass” option, starting in Georgetown and just going over Loveland and Vail passes. Most of the course is either on closed roads or on multiuse pathways. The event is capped at 5,000 participants. This year, it sold out two months ahead of time. “We commonly sell out but not that quickly,” said race Operations Director Natalie Raborn. “I think everyone’s eager to get back to normal life, and this kind of outdoor ride is a relatively safe way to have fun doing it,” she said.

The charitable cycling organization Team Evergreen puts on the annual ride, which was canceled last year. Other community organizations help supply the roughly 500 volunteers needed to make the ride happen. In return, Team Evergreen donates part of the proceeds to the participating organizations. “Blue Spruce Kiwanis volunteers

A “wall of donuts” and coffee awaited riders as they picked up their registration packets and commemorative jerseys. A young man with a drum kit provided a rhythmic soundtrack to riders passing through the start gate. Higher up, a bagpiper performed at the first pass.

Another out-of-stater was Steve Olson from Tucson, Arizona. ‘I’m meeting my nephew and two brothers to do this,” he said.

brags about being a top-fundraising team for its area. “We were supposed to do (the Triple Bypass) last year for my 50th birthday party,” said team member Wayne McCrow But then the 2020 edition of the race was canceled. “Longest 50th birthday party ever!” piped in teammate David Baker. For other riders, the Triple Bypass is closer to home. Rider Kyle Griffith said he’s done the ride four times before. He said the ride is fun, just a good ride for some and competitive for others. “I kind of love Loveland Pass because it’s pretty much halfway and not that tough.” His least favorite part? “On the Double Triple (the unsanctioned add-on to the Triple Bypass where riders do the whole course in reverse the following day), going back over Squaw (Juniper) Pass. ... I’m not doing that this year. I’ve smartened up over the years.”

Clear Creek school board puts bond ask on November ballot BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Clear Creek voters will be asked on Nov. 2 to approve a $33 million bond that the school board wants to use to create an elementary school in the former middle school building in Idaho Springs and to improve the district’s other three school buildings. The Clear Creek school board on Aug. 17 voted 4-0 to officially put the measure on the ballot. Board President Mitch Houston did not attend the meeting because he was out of town. Before the vote, board member Kelly Flenniken noted that the school district has done a great job managing its money because it hasn’t asked for a bond measure in more than 20 years, and that bond paid for the Floyd Hill school building. “We have done an exceptional job … which means it’s harder to ask,” Flenniken said. “We encourage people to ask questions and find out what their schools will get from this bond. It was very intentional that every facility would get something. It’s never a great time to ask for additional funding … but if we don’t deal with it, the price tag always gets bigger.” She suggested that Clear Creek’s declining enrollment is due in part to aging buildings, and improvements would aid in bringing more families to the schools. “It’s our obligation to provide

THE REQUEST If approved by voters, property taxpayers would pay an additional $25 per $100,000 of home value and commercial property taxpayers would pay $100 for every $100,000 of commercial property value. Zillow.com reports the Idaho Springs area has an average home value of $385,831 which would make the school bond bill for the average household $96.46. The bond would be repaid in 25 years.

MORE INFO The district has created a page on its website to answer questions about the bond proposal: ccsdre1.org.

$25 per $100,000 of home value and commercial property taxpayers would pay $100 for every $100,000 of commercial property value. The bond would be repaid in 25 years. About $25 million would be used to renovate the former middle school or try a hybrid model that would demolish part of the old middle school and build a new section. The remaining funds would be

used in this manner: $1 million at King-Murphy Elementary School to expand the pre-kindergarten rooms, gymnasium floor renovation, security improvements, exterior repairs and more; $400,000 at the middle/high school for athletic field lights, gymnasium floor improvements and security improvements; and $600,000 at Georgetown Community School to finish replacing the roof, install a commercial kitchen so the school could provide a hot lunch program, and exterior and interior improvements.

Conifer softball uses late-inning heroics to defeat Lakewood BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LAKEWOOD — There was nothing wrong with hitting hard ground balls with a gusty win blowing in from centerfield Aug. 17 at Ray Baker Field on the Lakewood High School campus. Conifer senior Katy Sims did just that, rifling a single through the Tigers’ infield to lead off the top of the seventh inning with the non-league softball game tied 2-2. “I just made the adjustment and wanted to make hard contact with the ball,” Sims said of her key leadoff single to start the seventh inning after going 0-for-3 with three ground-outs. “My first three at-bats, I just hit it right at somebody.” Sims would advance to third base after a pair of passed balls. With one out, freshman Molly Mortier hit a ground ball to shortstop that would knock in the eventual game-winning run. “Our freshman, Molly, really came through for us,” Conifer senior pitcher Cheyenne Prieto said. “She

is also great at first base too. She is a great addition to our team.” Sims broke to home plate when Mortier made contact and beat the throw to the plate to score what would be the game-winning run in a 3-2 victory for the Lobos — ranked No. 10 in the latest CHSAANow.com Class 4A softball rankings. “It’s huge. We have a really solid team this year,” Prieto, who had nine strikeouts in the victory. “Beating a team like Lakewood is a really huge deal. They are always a good team. It’s always great to play them.” Lakewood — No. 8 in the 5A rankings — defeated Conifer 1-0 in the 5A Jeffco versus 4A Jeffco non-league match-up. The Lobos (3-0 record) turned the tables on the Tigers (0-1) this year in the pitching dual between Prieto and Lakewood senior Reagan Medina. Conifer used a pair of walks in the opening inning to take a 2-0 lead. Lakewood responded in the bottom of the third inning to tie things

Young Clear Creek football program gearing up for fall season BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

They say there’s a pot of gold at the end of every rainbow, but the one near Floyd Hill Thursday afternoon instead led to a field full of Golddiggers. Clear Creek football kicked off practice for its fall season on Aug. 9. The program has a lot of young players joining the roster this year. With 31 players total, more than half are freshmen and sophomores, Coach Danion Baca said. Between the nine freshmen plus five transfers, Clear Creek also has a lot of new players this fall. “We’ll fill the JV team this year, because we have so many young guys,” he said. During Thursday’s practice, Baca said he and his staff were focused

on training up their linemen and “trying to get them up to speed” before the opening game Aug. 27 at Middle Park. Looking at the season’s schedule,

Baca said all the players, but particularly the seniors, are psyched to play rival Platte Canyon. “The seniors haven’t beat Platte yet,” he continued, explaining that

Platte Canyon played fall ball last year while Clear Creek played in the spring. Along with so many young players, Baca said two other factors have made things difficult for Clear Creek lately. One is COVID-19 restrictions preventing offseason practices with Baca explaining that the Golddiggers have had two straight seasons with no offseason work beforehand. And, because of that, several players saw season-ending injuries last spring. Senior quarterback Michael Hillman and junior defensive end Jett Baker were among those who suffered major injuries during the spring season, and Baker said he is eager to make up for lost time.

up 2-2 after an error helped plate a couple of runs for the Tigers. “I felt pretty good. It wasn’t my best day,” Prieto admitted after walking four batters in the first three innings before settling in. “I still had enough pitches where my defense could follow through and we could get the win.” With Lakewood normal pitching ace Destiny Martinez playing shortstop for the Tigers, Medina got the start on the hill and was able to settle down after allowing two early runs. She finished with seven strikeouts after walking six batters through the first three innings. “I’ve know Dannielle (Gunn) for a long time. She has really made this Lakewood program steady,” Conifer coach Carrie Oletski said of Lakewood coach Dannielle Gunn. “You know you are going to get a good game.” Conifer and Lakewood were both state playoff teams during the COVID-19 reduced season last Fall. The Lobos had their season end with a loss to rival Wheat Ridge in the 4A state quarterfinals. A conference title is definitely

of Western social customs. As they were speaking, the man “made a Hang-10 sign” with his left hand while simultaneously thrusting his right one inside the colorful “loincloth” wrapped around his waist and quite deliberately re-orienting its contents. Not sure how to react, but certain she wanted to do it somewhere else, she hastened home and phoned JCSO to report what she considered “creepy” and “inappropriate” behavior. Deputies were able to locate the alleged adjuster who, despite his poor command of English, assured them he’d handled himself as a perfect gentleman, and then threw back his head and pantomimed taking a deep pull on a bottle, which, as everyone knows, is the international symbol for “that dame was crazy-drunk, officer.” Since a fluid exchange of information wasn’t really possible, and considering that, even if true, putting one’s hands in one’s own pants isn’t, strictly speaking, illegal, deputies bagged the case. Comparative psychology EVERGREEN — Madame invited Drifter to stay with her “for a couple of weeks” to “help with some stuff around the house.” On the evening of July 22, Drifter called JCSO and asked that deputies provide him safe conduct away from Madame’s cruel clutches. Drifter said that Madame “threw coffee in my face” and “broke my phone.” Drifter said Madame clearly has “undiagnosed mental issues.” Drifter didn’t want to press charges; he just wanted a free ride to freedom. For her part, Madame asked that deputies remove Drifter from her home at once. Drifter “didn’t do any work on my house,” and he “spit in my face,” she said. Madame said that Drifter plainly has undefined “mental health issues.”

a goal this year for Conifer who finished behind Wheat Ridge and D’Evelyn last season in the tough 4A Jeffco League. “This game tells us where we are at,” Oletski said. “This was a goal of

their’s to go after this win. Now we go from here and make our statement.” Lakewood lost to Jeffco rival Chatfield in the 5A state quarterfinals last season.

Madame didn’t want to press charges; she just wanted Drifter outta there. When Drifter asked deputies to drive him down to Golden, officers counter-offered to take him as far as the nearest gas station. Disappointed, Drifter decided he wanted to press charges against Madame

after all. Outraged, Madame decided she wanted to press charges against Drifter after all. With nary but titfor-tat on the table, deputies decided they wouldn’t be charging anybody with anything. Drifter caught a ride to the gas station, and Madame “locked her doors.”

Hillman likewise said he was hyped for all the games this year and having the chance to pass the legacy of Clear Creek football onto the younger players. “Football has been a huge sport for me, ever since Pee Wee,” he said, adding that he’s unsure whether he’ll pursue it after high school. Baca, Hillman and Baker said there’s room for improvement across the field, but Baca said that Golddigger fans should keep an eye on freshmen Cooper Needham, Logan Ginter and Asher Isaacson as they’ll likely see playing time on

this year’s varsity team. Needham and Ginter, both safeties, each expressed that getting major playing time is their biggest personal goal of the season. Ginter was particularly excited for the home games, and he and Needham both invited the Golddigger faithful to come watch them play this fall. Baker also felt that building a committed fan base — one willing to go to Saturday games and sit through any weather — would help the Golddiggers succeed in the games to come. The football team kicks off its season this Friday, Aug. 27, at Middle Park in Granby. The first home game of the season will be Saturday, Sept. 4 against Florence.
