Cougars cap emotional regular season with Mountain Bowl win

The Evergreen High School football team hoists the Mountain Bowl trophy after beating their cross-town rivals Conifer, 24-19.

Evergreen beats Conifer 24-19

BY GLENN WALLACE GWALLACE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

If there was one overarching storyline for the Evergreen Cougars football team this season, it

would be about overcoming serious setbacks and finding ways to come back stronger.

If there was one overarching storyline for the Conifer Lobos this football season, it would be about playing with an abundance of heart and getting so close to success but seeing it slip away.

Both storylines continued right through the final regular-season

game for both squads, where they met Nov. 5 for their annual clash known as The Mountain Bowl.

The game, held at Conifer, also served as the team’s seniors’ night celebration, giving the 3-6 team more than enough motivation to want to close out a season filled with close losses with a resounding win versus a rival. That motivation showed too, with senior Zach Zalfa

Evergreen blocked the point-after kick but was also forced to punt away the team’s next possession.

With the ball back, Conifer’s offense began marching down the field thanks largely to the dual rushing threats of senior Gauge Womack SEE FOOTBALL, P19

Inter-Canyon reveals fire station plans Price tags expected to be much higher than originally thought

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Area residents now have an idea of what Inter-Canyon Fire District’s new Stations 1 and 3 will look like when they are built.

Fire district officials hosted an open house on Nov. 6 to show interior and exterior plans for the buildings and to answer residents’ questions about the new Station 1 at South Turkey Creek and Deer Creek Canyon roads and the new Station 3 on U.S. 285 across from Mountain High Christian Center.

A steady stream of residents stopped by Station 3 to check out the drawings for both stations.

Adam Oklesh, principal architect for F+D International, the firm hired to design the buildings, said a request for bids for both stations has gone out. Bids are expected back by the end of the month, he said, and then the fire board will ask for presentations from the top bidders before selecting the firm or firms to build the stations.

Depending on the price tag for each station, the fire board will decide whether to build both stations starting in spring 2022 or one station and delay the second. The board had anticipated that the stations would cost about $230 a square foot.

This is a rendering of what the new Fire Station 3 on U.S. 285 will look like.

The buildings’ exteriors will be primarily constructed of wood, brick and metal, according to the plans. Station 1, which was built in the 1950s, will increase from 3,500 square feet to about 7,500 square feet with five truck bays.

Station 3, which is the fire district’s headquarters, will have six truck bays, office space, community

However, Oklesh is now expecting the cost will be about $425 a square foot, nearly twice the $5 million fire officials were expecting to spend.

The stations will be funded thanks to a mill-levy increase approved by voters in 2018, loans and fire district savings. The district also is applying for a $1 million Department of Local Affairs grant.

Owners: Evergreen Parkway detour will hurt businesses They hope Evergreen Lake North Trail construction can be delayed until September

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Downtown Evergreen business owners hope they can work with the Evergreen Park & Recreation District to delay construction of the Evergreen Lake North Trail.

The business owners both in downtown and at the Lakepoint Center across from Evergreen Lake want to influence decisions on how Evergreen Parkway by the lake will be closed during construction. They say losing tourist traffic during the summer months when construction is supposed to take place will negatively impact their businesses, and they plan to plead their case at the next EPRD board meeting on Nov. 16.

Owners are especially concerned that detours through Evergreen two summers in a row will decimate their businesses. Detours are expected to be in place from June through September 2022 for the lake trail construction, plus Jefferson County is planning to make improvements to Highway 73 from Buffalo Park Road to Plettner Lane starting in March 2023.

They agreed that they needed a normal summer after the pandemic to recoup losses they suffered when they were closed.

INTERESTED • The Evergreen Park & Recreation District board of directors meets at 5 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 16, via Zoom. The link to the meeting can be found on the agenda, which is posted at evergreenrecreation.com under the About Us/board of directors tabs.

• Members of the business community will meet with EPRD’s consultant to discuss the detour during the Evergreen Lake North Trail construction at 8 a.m.

Thursday, Nov. 18, in the conference room on the third floor of the Evergreen Hotel that also houses the Muddy Buck.

“Those of us in downtown Evergreen are going to get hammered,” said Mark Nobles with Shadow Mountain Gallery.

Bryan McFarland, president of the Evergreen Rodeo Association, said he knows that even the three-hour closure of Evergreen Parkway for the parade on Father’s Day weekend each year is painful for businesses in the Lakepoint Center.

“All these businesses coming out of COVID just now are getting their feet back on the ground,” he said. “(A summer closure) will have a major impact.”

Business owners want to meet with EPRD’s consultants to hear about the detour plans, and they hope they can have some input before the project is put out for bids in January. They also asked whether they could work with EPRD to ask for timeline extensions on grants

paying for the construction so the work could begin later in the year.

“If there are things not cast in concrete, we can have that dialog with EPRD,” Evergreen chamber President Nancy Judge said. “As they are selecting and working with a contractor, maybe those things can be factored in.”

EPRD Executive Director Ellen O’Connor noted: “My expectation is that we continue to host meetings with community outreach to answer questions. There is no way we want to cause harm, but we do need to get this trail section rebuilt.”

About 18 business and a resident from Meadow Drive attended a meeting on Nov. 2 about the North Trail construction hosted by the Evergreen Area Chamber of Commerce.

In addition to business impacts, Evergreen Rodeo Parade organizers said the parade, which begins at Christ the King Catholic Church and runs through downtown Evergreen, should not be hampered by a road closure.

Plus Evergreen’s environmental group, Wild Aware, is concerned about the elk who have their babies in June on the island on the north side of the lake. Group founder Christie Green said she was afraid construction activity would drive the elk to another location, and they wouldn’t use the island to protect their calves.

Timeline change

The EPRD board learned at its September board meeting that because of an additional grant, the timeline for construction will be delayed. The original plan was for construction to take place between February and May; now it is expected to happen over the summer months.

During construction, Evergreen Parkway along the lake is expected to be down to one lane, and the detour would divert northbound traffic through downtown Evergreen to Meadow Drive while southbound traffic would travel on Evergreen Parkway. What remains to be seen is whether the detour would be seven days a week during construction or whether the road could be open on weekends to help businesses.

EPRD officials said they needed to move forward with the work so they don’t lose grant dollars, which would prohibit the district from building the trail. Plans call for a 10-foot-wide concrete trail along Evergreen Parkway and a soft-surface trail along the lakeshore.

Construction is being funded with $4.16 million in grants from the Denver Regional Council of Governments, Colorado the Beautiful and local groups including the Evergreen Metropolitan District and the Evergreen Legacy Fund.

Once the new trail is built, it will not be plagued with washouts like the current trail, which has been closed on and off for several years.

Jeffco School Board election results Voters side with teachers, stay the course on education

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In an election to determine control of the Jeffco Public Schools’ Board of Education, the teachers’ unionsupported slate has swept all three open seats in this year’s election, based on uncertified vote totals.

With 99% of the county’s ballots counted, results for District 1 show Danielle Varda beating Jeffrey Wilhite by a 26,189-vote margin, with 156,201 votes tallied.

Varda held back tears and hugged her daughter, Harlow, tight as she tried to find words for her gratitude on election night.

“I just want to thank our teachers and my family and all of the people who spent countless hours helping us build a great campaign for the kids, families, teachers and staff in Jefferson County,” she said.

For District 2, Paula Reed led Theresa Shelton by 18,399 votes as of the mid-evening vote tally. The other candidate, David C Johnson, sits a distant third.

As early returns came in, enthusiastic supporters cheered the unionbacked slate at a brewpub celebration in Golden. Reed took the floor,

saying she’d spent her career as a teacher, and it now appears she’s a board member.

“I never stopped being an educator,” Reed said later in the evening.

“I retired three years ago, and I’m working for my husband’s sign company... but my heart is the heart of an educator.”

In District 5, Mary Parker leads Kathy Miks by roughly 16,515 votes with 155,339 counted.

“People voted for the status quo — what we’ve experienced for the past six years — declining enrollment and declining achievement,” Miller said The seventh candidate, Johnson, ran in District 2, straddling the line between the slates with priorities including student safety (following public health orders), financial responsibility and student performance.

The expiring terms for President, Susan Harmon (District 2), 1st Vice President, Brad Rupert (District 1) and 2nd Vice President Richard Rush (District 5) had left three out of five seats on the Jeffco Board of Education up for grabs.

Conifer High School hosts CN&N’s annual Holiday Boutique

BY OLIVIA JEWELL LOVE OLOVE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

An hour into the Holiday Boutique and the overflow parking lot was already reaching capacity showing just how ready people were to get out and do some holiday shopping in Conifer the first weekend in November.

On Nov. 6, Conifer Newcomers & Neighbors hosted the 43rd annual artisan fair at Conifer High School as the group’s primary annual fundraiser. The event offered a complimentary shuttle to soften the hike from overflow parking, or perhaps it was to help carry all your bags back to the car after a day of shopping.

The event featured 96 booths with goods ranging from jewelry to honey to tie-dye clothing plus the popular Ye Olde Bake Shoppe.

Jackie Ikola, an artisan support volunteer, appreciated the community aspect of the event. She helped shoppers with questions about booths, locations and more. “(It is) getting the community back together,” she said.

Ikola also noted the range of talent on display and the variety of products present.

“We have all these wonderful artists showcasing their art,” she said.

One such artist is Jackson Avila, who moved to Colorado from Ecuador seven years ago. He has been working with jewelry for 20 years.

Avila looks to make jewelry outside of the box, using materials like aluminum and ebony instead of traditional materials like gold and diamonds. He says you can make jewelry out of anything.

Avila said he was seeing “too much of the same stuff” and wanted to do something different with his mixed media jewelry.

“People in this generation are looking for something different,” he said.

Shoppers were clearly intrigued by his display, asking him questions and touching the unique materials.

Avila showcased his aluminum jewelry, telling how it could be worn all day and was easily maintained, unlike some other traditional jewelry.

People buzzed from booth to booth, finding unique gifts for family (and themselves) everywhere they turned. The event was a great opportunity for neighbors and old friends to reconnect, and many “how are yous” and “it’s been too long” could be heard throughout the day.

Spirits were even high in the line to pay for products, as shoppers visited with the people around them.

Everyone knew they were getting close to being able to take home their unique finds of the day.

Three Conifer women use the Holiday Boutique as a yearly opportunity to get together.

Paula Yerks, Debbie Stewart and Shelby Boller continued their several-year tradition of a girls’ trip to the event. The mood was bright as the women began their holiday shopping.

“We are enjoying a ladies day out,” Yerks said.

The women left their kids at home and were just enjoying each other’s company.

Stewart said the best part about the event was getting to enjoy friends and shopping. They agreed that they enjoyed the event no matter if they bought something, but Yerks quickly chimed in and said, “I’ve already bought something!”

Jacob Have I Loved

by Julianne Seifert

by Katherine Paterson, 1980

The older I get, the more I find I appreciate well-written and meaningful young adult literature – especially when I reread books I discovered in childhood and find new things to connect with and enjoy in them as an adult. One of the marks of truly good children’s fiction is this ability to grow and change with its readers, to unveil nuances with subsequent readings as we mature and add to our stores of life experiences.

The Newbery Medal-winning Jacob Have I Loved does this beautifully, as it follows its protagonist, Louise, from the start of her teenage years into adulthood. Constantly at odds with her twin sister, her mentally declining grandmother, her few friends, and even the idea of a God she feels rejected by, her story is one of yearning to feel seen, loved, and accepted. Her inner struggles are mirrored and exacerbated by the conflicts in the outside world; the book takes place in the 1940s, on an island off the coast of New England where the livelihoods of the watermen are dependent on the unpredictable weather and the luck of the catch. Both the daily battle for success on the bay and the more distant reality of the Second World War shape Louise’s imagination and add to the story’s atmosphere of restlessness and uncertainty.

When I first read this book years ago, it made an impression on me because I related to Louise’s frustrations with her sister; I believe the feelings she expresses have probably been felt by most elder siblings at one time or another. As a teenager, I was most affected by her fear of abandonment, and by her craving for love becoming so desperate that it spirals outward into irrational crushes and uncontrollable fits of temper. Reading it now, I am struck by her journey to self-realization,

and the many steps she takes toward eventually understanding herself and finding her own identity. More than that, though, I now see the complexities of the book’s other characters, too – their thoughts, difficulties, and decisions that Louise, and by extension the book’s younger readers, are unaware of, until growth and maturity enable us to see them.

Jacob Have I Loved is a story worth discovering, both for my fellow lovers of young adult fiction and for those who tend to avoid children’s literature because they think it lacks appeal for adults. This book is willing to honestly examine the pain, discomfort, and ultimately triumph that come with growing up, making it not just a book for teenagers, but for people of all ages to continually revisit and rediscover through the years.

VOICES Our labor shortage

W

e have a labor shortage, and like anything, as the supply goes down the price goes up. In 1973 the real hourly earnings for production and non-supervisory employees in the U.S. was $23.24, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In March of 2019 it was exactly the same.

The chart I have shows no point during that almost 50 years when the number was any higher. That means that the American worker has not gained a penny in real earnings since 1973. During that time, we have eliminated middle managers, replaced people with technology and outsourced many jobs to overseas countries.

Job openings, according to Pew Research, amount to 1.4 times workers.

Unemployment figures show there are 7.7 million unemployed versus 10 million open jobs. Many of the open jobs are in leisure, hospitality and retail businesses.

Last month alone, 4.3 million workers quit their jobs. Most of those who quit were women. Econo-

mists believe the reasons for the losses are as follows: • The customer-facing businesses where fear of getting COVID is the highest have the most vacancies.

• Workers struggling with child care given that normal school schedules are Columnist not certain was a huge factor.

• Many workers saved money during the pandemic and thus they can survive without employment. Their financial independence was a large factor.

• The generous government assistance also gave workers a lifeline, although most have expired.

• New business startups are seeing a huge rise, which is a positive reason.

The reasons for the huge shortage of labor are as follows: • Millions of baby boomers are retiring every day. According to Pew, 30 million left the job market in the

third quarter of 2020. That’s 18% of our workforce.

• Our population growth has slowed, and non-working aged individuals has grown to 37% of our worker population.

• The previous administration cut legal immigration 49%.

So, a simple summary: The jobs are there, but American workers are not. Some jobs are not exciting to unemployed workers. It seems obvious that the disagreements are not just about money. Worker surveys show that a balance between work and personal lives is a key issue.

I was part of a large organization with thousands of workers. We devised a process where our people could ask for time off to attend family events, help someone sick or just to get some R&R. We allowed other workers to ask for the available hours. It worked. Our people were happy, productive and appreciated our consideration of their personal lives. Others were able to increase their earnings, and our customers were well served.

Employers who figure out how to

honor and respect the personal lives of their people and who pay a competitive wage will win the tug-of-war for our workers. Those who say we will do things the same old way will continue to struggle.

In the meantime, the ships will not get unloaded quickly, trucks will not all have drivers, some store shelves will be empty, and demand will force prices upward. Politicians will blame each other, and TV cable talkies will follow their talking points.

We may be willing to endure poor service for a short while, but soon those who figure it out will take the business from the clueless. That’s what happens. Winners win and the opposite also happens.

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.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR In response to Leaders want more wildfire mitigation Wildfire mitigation is a complex and expensive problem that cannot be solved entirely with more funding. The Evergreen Fire Protection District has hired a mitigation crew to do the work, but they are limited by access to private property.

They are doing a great job on Jeffco Open Space and Denver Mount Parks. They cannot clear safe zones if the land is private. The property owners need to apply for grants or provide the funds which can cost thousands of dollars per acre.

They have to hire the contractors to do the work or do it themselves. The fire district will help getting the grants and hiring the contractors. One option being kick around is imminent domain to force property owners to preform mitigation, but the district tired one in the past and was sued for a sizeable settlement. Some want the downtown fire station delayed or sized down to provide the funds. But the county’s expansion of Highway 73 will make the present station untenable, they are going to put a divided highway in so the engine will only be able to turn right. Plus, the engines will not have enough space to park on the ramp.

This work is set to begin in 2023. This community will not stand to have a shed built for a fire station. The fire board of directors are trying to balance many needs and mitigation is not the only one.

Peter Anderson, Evergreen Limited capacity With the summer gone, no doubt most of you who visited the mountains experienced major gridlocked I-70, impossibly filled campgrounds,

crowded lakes and major nightmares returning home on Sunday nights.

If you look off to the east over Denver, you can’t help but notice the thick, toxic Brown Cloud of pollution that feeds every one of us poisoned air with every breath 24/7.

Nonetheless, you couldn’t help noticing that Denver keeps building thousands of apartments on Wadsworth, along C-470 and, not to be outdone, the Golden City Council rubber-stamped several hundred more apartments in what is becoming, our “Golden City of Cement.”

The fact is that the Denver metro area faces another 2 million additional people, net gain, within the next 20 or so years.

None of them mention that the air you breathe will become more toxic.

None of them understand that the gridlocked traffic will become impossible to solve.

Does any understand the term “Carrying Capacity?” It’s the amount of land, air and water that will support a given number of humans.

What is the “Carrying Capacity” of Colorado?

Can we absorb another one, two, three or five million more people? What do you think?

Do you want to see Colorado overwhelmed with another 2 million people in Denver? How many more people across Jeffco?

Write your elected representatives for their thoughts on what they are doing to your city or county.

Frosty Woolridge, Golden Appalling behavior The behavior of EPRD patrons reported in this

paper was appalling. The EPRD board’s policy, requiring patrons to show they were vaccinated or wear masks in EPRD facilities, was designed to protect all patrons and staff, vaccinated or not.

Patrons who disagreed with the policy subjected staff to such abuse that two staff members resigned. They also sent angry emails and made threatening phone calls to board members.

It is incomprehensible why anyone would behave in this manner after more than 750,000 have died of COVID-19 in the United States (8,495 in Colorado) and over 46 million (757,000 in Colorado) have suffered from this illness. Colorado’s governor recently issued an executive order addressing overcrowding at Colorado hospitals because the number of hospitalizations is now at the highest level since late 2020.

One in 51 Colorado residents is infected with COVID-19, the fifth highest rate in the country.

Transmission is at an all-time high, cases are skyrocketing and hospital capacity is at a critical level. As of Nov/ 4, 80% of those hospitalized with COVID in Colorado are unvaccinated.

EPRD was not barring anyone from using its facilities, merely attempting to keep its staff and patrons as safe as possible. Everyone has the right to make their own decision about vaccination. When they do, they should remember that it affects not just themselves but their family, friends, workout buddies and strangers.

Come on, people, be kind, thoughtful and respectful! Get vaccinated or wear a mask.

ARPA funds will help some of Jeffco’s financial challenges – but only temporarily

A

s the holiday season approaches, like many of you, we can’t wait to spend more quality time with our family and friends. But before we can unwind, we must take care of some important business.

Every November, it’s our duty as county commissioners to adopt the budget for the next year. There are many needs, but unfortunately our resources are limited.

As many of you know, Jefferson County has faced some financial challenges over the last several years. With limited revenue growth, the county had to make budget cuts to the general fund totaling $16.1 million in 2020 and $8.7 million in 2021.

Although no cuts are planned for 2022, we’re anticipating approximately $14-16 million of cuts in 2023 to the general fund due to recent legislation (SB21-293) that will significantly reduce property tax revenue, which is the single largest revenue source for the county. The legislation provides $200 million in property tax relief to property owners across the state for the next two years. The measure was designed to blunt the negative impact of Proposition 120 had voters approved it. However, Proposition 120 failed during last Tuesday’s election.

These reductions affect essential public services such as public safety,

roads and more, and a major impact to programs and services may be experienced in the coming years. We will continue to thoroughly look at operations across all county departments for cost-saving opportunities, greater efficiencies, and greater reductions to achieve a balanced budget, but the cuts alone will not solve the financial challenges the county is experiencing.

We are receiving some federal assistance from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), an economic stimulus bill passed into law in March designed to accelerate the country’s recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Jefferson County’s ARPA funding package is $187.2 million. As a local government, $113 million of that total is going directly to Jefferson County while $74.2 million will go to cities and towns in the county.

Because the federal funds are onetime use only, they can only be used for non-recurring expenditures, such as covering operating deficits caused by COVID-19, rather than funding new programs or add-ons to existing programs that require ongoing financial commitment.

We welcome this federal assistance with open arms, particularly considering the financial stress the county is facing. ARPA will help address some specific areas impacted most by the pandemic;

however, these funds are more of a life preserver than a rescue boat and do not provide a permanent solution to address the county’s long-term financial challenges.

Key to this work is you and better understanding your top priorities for the county. It’s why we created the Jefferson County Rescue Team to support our community through the distribution of COVID-19 relief funds by providing stewardship, fiscal oversight and compliance with federal regulations for APRA. Since April, we asked the Rescue Team to actively seek public input through several surveys and stakeholder meetings.

It is incredibly important that you, as a community member, help develop funding ideas and prioritize community needs for ARPA dollars.

Based on the feedback we received over the past six months, eight priority areas have emerged: housing, behavioral health, workforce readiness, economy recovery, public health and safety, food insecurity, county services and operations, and revenue replacement.

Our next step is to create task forces for each of these eight priority areas to dive deeper and understand the needs and the gaps that exist so we can develop programs that will provide the services and resources our community members need most. Jeffco Commissioners

also were invited recently to speak with Gov. Polis about how we can best leverage our county and state dollars as we address these pressing needs.

We know there are more difficult decisions ahead. The county’s financial realities will impact our work as we prioritize the safety and well-being of our community as well as the programs and level of services we can offer. You can view the Financial Realities section of our website at www.jeffco.us for more information.

If you have any questions or comments about the county budget, we encourage you to attend the Board of County Commissioners’ Public Hearing on Tuesday, Nov. 16 at 8 a.m.

10 Canyon Courier In-N-Out CONIFER — On the afternoon of Oct. 13, a silver Outback breezed past the complainant’s plainly posted “No Trespassing” sign and parked briefly in his driveway. Its occupants appeared to be an older gentleman and a younger boy. After a few moments, the Outback turned around and left as abruptly as it had come. The complainant didn’t actually witness the incursion, but his many game cameras did, which evidence he didn’t immediately review, which is why he didn’t get around to calling JCSO until the afternoon of Oct. 15 and asking deputies to track down the transitory intruders and ascertain their intentions. Officers easily located the older gentleman, who explained that he and the younger boy had been searching for the family dogs.

When their GPS tracker placed the animals on the complainant’s property, they felt obliged to follow the tracker’s lead. Once there, however, the tracker indicated that the fugitive pets had moved on, and, thus, so had the silver Subaru. The older gentleman “apologized profusely for any confusion.”

Casement closed EVERGREEN — It’s simple math.

One skulking stranger plus one

November 10, 2021 displaced screen equals too-oddto-ignore. A few days earlier, she explained to deputies on Oct. 13, an unfamiliar man with “long white hair” had been observed prowling around the building “checking doors.” That very morning, she continued, she’d discovered a window screen resting on the ground beneath the window it was supposed to be screening. Together, she concluded, they added up to a job for JCSO. With only the sparest description of the long-haired lurker and lacking evidence that anybody had actually gained entry through the de-screened window, officers could do little but schedule extra patrols of the property and close the case.

Petite crimes EVERGREEN — The tall man and short woman had been milling about the store for entirely too long, all the while toting in their arms first-rate merchandise that they never quite got around to buying. Security senses tingling, store personnel called JCSO and asked them to conduct a “walk through.”

Observing a deputy on the premises, Tall Man quickly abandoned his valuable load near the bathrooms and headed for the parking lot. Assuming an air of exaggerated

nonchalance, Short Woman feigned interest in her cell phone for a few minutes and queried an employee about “layaway plans” before dropping her expensive armful on the counter and scurrying outside.

Curious officers greeted the pair at a nearby fast food restaurant and in short order determined that Short Woman was wanted on a warrant out of Wheat Ridge. Taken into custody, a routine pat-down of Short Woman turned up a treasure trove of new evidence, including three pairs of women’s gloves and three sporting knives, all of them freshly lifted from the store she’d just fled.

Deputies had no reason to further detain Tall Man, but ample cause to remove Short Woman to legal layaway in Golden.

Tit for tat EVERGREEN — Drunk and defiant, he called JCSO dispatch with the news that he’d just stolen the American flag from the Mountain Substation. “I stole your flag because you stole my van,” he told the deputies who tracked him down a short distance from the substation. By then, standing on private property, he further advised the deputies that they had “no right” to be there. “I don’t care what state, country or planet you’re with,” he

boomed. The deputies counter-advised that by admitting to a crime, he’d given them every right to be there, and it would be in his own best interest to hand over the flag and accompany them back to the substation before he got himself into real trouble. As to what precipitated all the theatrics, he said that his van was marooned at a local towing concern, which was closed for the evening. Fortunately, he continued, the “Evergreen police” are “open 24 hours,” and the deputies could easily break into the towing yard and retrieve his vehicle for him. When the officers explained everything that was wrong with that scheme, he doubled down. “I’m going to steal your patrol cars,” he hollered over his shoulder as he stalked away home, “because you stole my van!” For a variety of reasons, most of them humanitarian and all of them worthy, deputies pressed no charged and declared the case exceptionally cleared.

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.

Jeffco apologizes for not including residents in ELID project planning Residents near Independence Trail say changes made things worse

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Jefferson County officials have apologized to residents living south of Independence Trail, saying they will do a better job of communicating with nearby residents in the future when the county is preparing to do a project funded through the Evergreen Local Improvement District.

“We should be notifying (nearby residents) on each of these local projects,” Jeanie Rossillon, Jeffco’s director of development and transportation, told about 40 residents from the Independence Heights subdivision at a meeting in the JP Total parking lot on Nov. 6. “That’s the

county’s job. We blew it and didn’t get out in front of this project.”

Neighbors there are frustrated that Jeffco made improvements a few months ago to Independence Trail, which runs along Bear Creek

by Highland Haven and JP Total on the east side of downtown Evergreen.

They say the changes have made the road more dangerous, and just as importantly, they never were part of the conversation when they have discussed their concerns about area roads with Jeffco and CDOT for nearly two decades.

The Independence Trail project was the first one to be funded through the Evergreen Local Improvement District, and leaders at an Oct. 12 ribbon cutting lauded the improvements as a way to create a river walk that provided safe access on Independence Trail from Highway 74 to Church of the Transfiguration.

Rossillon clarified for residents that while those involved with ELID recommend and facilitate improve-

the holidays!

ments in Evergreen, those projects and their management are Jeffco’s responsibility. ELID has recommended and Jeffco commissioners have approved 16 additional projects in Evergreen that will be completed in the next several years.

Residents told Jeffco officials including Commissioner Lesley Dahlkemper that the road’s new configuration was flawed, and they hoped Jeffco would listen to their input and make changes again.

Their concerns included: • that the pedestrian/bike lane made travel on Independence Trail worse, not better, and striping and signage along the road are confusing, especially for newcomers to the area; • there is a blind corner, and several suggested honking their horns to alert cars coming from the other direction for safety; • the eastern access from Independence Trail onto Highway 74 is extremely dangerous, and they hoped Jeffco officials would help them bring their concerns to CDOT,

which controls the highway.

Steve Durian, Jeffco’s transportation and engineering director, said the county would look at the Independence Trail design again.

“We don’t know if (the road) will need correction,” Durian said, “but we will take (your concerns) seriously. We will review (the road) to see if we can fix some of your concerns.”

Officials also said they would strive to communicate the projects better including signs to alert the public.

Independence Trail has been striped to make it one way from west to east with a striped pedestrian/bicycle lane. At the west end, five parking spaces have been added.

The project was paid for by $13,500 in funds and in-kind donations from the Evergreen Legacy Fund, which funds ELID projects, and a $135,000 grant from CDOT’s Revitalizing Main Streets grant program.

Jefferson County Transportation & Engineering was responsible for the project.

Jefferson County mailing TABOR refund checks STAFF REPORT

Jefferson County taxpayers will soon receive a TABOR refund check in the mail, as required by the state’s Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights Amendment (TABOR).

The TABOR Amendment requires governments in Colorado to refund excess revenue collected above the TABOR limit for a given fiscal year or seek voter approval to retain the excess revenue. In 2020, Jefferson County received approximately $1.5 million in property tax revenue above the TABOR property tax limit, as a result, the county is required to give that money back to the taxpayers in 2021.

There are a variety of methods that can be used to refund the excess property tax revenue to taxpayers.

Examples include mailing refund checks or applying a credit to the following year’s property tax bill.

According to a press release put out by the county, mailing refund checks “was the most direct and transparent way for each taxpayer to receive their fair share of the refund.”

All property taxpayers will receive an equitable share of the $1.5 million refund. The average refund is about $7; however, 87% of property taxpayers will receive less than $7 because the top five highest property taxpayers – all large commercial properties – drive up the average.

The size of some refund checks will be less than $1 according to the county.

Still, the Board of County Commissioners, County Manager and staff believed it is important to be as equitable as possible in distributing the refund, according to the release.

Conifer chamber membership meeting The Conifer Area Chamber of Commerce monthly membership meeting will be at 7:30 a.m. Friday, Nov. 12, at Our Lady of the Pines Catholic Church. The November topic is “Welcome to the Movement: A look at Special Olympics Colorado.” Ben Theune, senior director of marketing for Special Olympics Colorado, will speak on the program along the 285 corridor. Advanced registration is required at GoConifer.com.

working together to perform “All Together Now” Nov. 12-14 in the CHS cafetorium. Performances are at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 12, 3 p.m. and 7 p.m.

Saturday, Nov. 13, and 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 14. Tickets are $25 and are available at thevenuetheatre.com.

Why is this happening?

Adopted by voters in 1992, TABOR applies to all levels of government in Colorado, including the state, counties, cities, school districts and special districts. In 2019 Jefferson County’s Board of County Commissioners proposed Measure 1A, which would have allowed the county to keep tax revenue money that

it would otherwise have to refund under TABOR, a move nicknamed “de-Brucing” after the author of TABOR, Douglas Bruce . The proposal was described as sorely needed by county government, particularly the Sheriff’s Department to avert significant budgetary cuts.

Voters rejected 1A at the ballot box, which helped set the stage for Jeffco making $16.1 million in general fund cuts in 2020, and an additional $8.7 for 2021.

County staff state that more cuts will likely be necessary beginning in 2023.

CLEAR CREEK COUNTY

To the Citizens of Clear Creek County from the Public Works Division Road & Bridge Department 2021/2022 Winter Operations The Clear Creek County Road and Bridge Department would like to inform the citizens of Clear Creek County about what to expect for snow plowing and sanding operations.

It is impossible to meet the needs of all citizens all of the time. Therefore, the Road and Bridge Department recommends that anyone operating a motor vehicle during this season take the time to equip their vehicle with necessary winter equipment.

The following is an inventory list of recommended items that should be in or with each vehicle: • • • • • •

Adequate Tire Tread/ Snow Tires Flashlight with Extra Batteries First Aid Kit Tire Chains or Snow Traction Socks Small Sack of Sand or Cat Litter Shovel & Small Tool Kit

• • • • • •

Tow Strap or Chain Jumper Cables Warning Triangles Snacks & Water Cell Phone Gloves & Extra Warm Gear

It is the policy of the Road & Bridge Dept. to clear the school bus routes first and then the collector or “Primary” classified roads for peak traffic travel. After these roads are cleared, the local roads or “Secondary-County Maintained” roads are then plowed. All motorists must realize there may be periods during storm events when the roads will not be freshly plowed and sanded.

During a snow event that is outside of our regular business hours of Mon – Fri, 7:00 am to 3:30 pm, our operators are notified by their Supervisor to report to work early or to stay after 3:30 pm to continue plowing operations. During continuous snow storms, the operators will work the maximum allowed hours, but may have to concentrate on “Primary County Maintained” classified roads. In a case such as this, some “Secondary-County Maintained” roads may receive little, if any, attention at this time.

Due to safety concerns, the Road & Bridge Dept. cannot offer service between 8:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m.

A rule of thumb is “the lower the traffic volume on a road, the more likely the road is to receive little or no attention during large snowfall events.” The Road and Bridge Department provides sand barrels and shovels located in strategic places throughout the County.

Our hope is that by knowing what to expect with regard to the County’s snow plowing operations, and having emergency items that may be necessary in extreme conditions, that the 2021/2022 winter travel season will be a safe journey for everyone.

Our “Road Concern” line at Road & Bridge is: 303-679-2334, option #2, to leave a message and your call will be directed to the proper Supervisor for your area.

CCHS students performing history’s `worst breakups’ this week

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Everyone’s gone through a breakup, but was it the worst breakup in human history?

If so, Clear Creek High School students are bringing it to life onstage this week.

The school’s performing arts club is showcasing the play “The 9 Worst Breakups of All Time” at 7 p.m.

Nov. 11-13. General admission is $5, although students and veterans are free.

The 80-minute play walks the audience through the worst breakups between the literal dawn of human history to the present day.

Senior Jacob Bryant said he’s playing a caveman, a U.S. Civil War solider, and an emcee in various breakup scenes.

“It’s definitely going to be a good time,” he said, recommending that people check out this week’s performances. “Everyone will get a crack out of each scene.”

Deborah Sandblom, the school’s drama director, added that the play is short and keeps the audience engaged. She suggested that attendees should be middle-school age or older, as there’s mild language in a few scenes.

Overall, she said, “It’s a comedy about breakups. It’s something everyone can relate to.”

For the production itself, about 30 students in the cast and crew have

been working on this for the past two months.

Junior Mya Sproul, who plays Jessica and Julie, said the process has been hard work, but she’s had fun preparing for the play.

This is Sproul’s first time performing at CCHS and her first year in the performing arts club. Since joining earlier this year, she said her acting skills have improved, and she’s made a lot of friends among her fellow thespians. Sproul anticipates she’ll keep performing the rest of her high school career.

“Acting is a way to get away from the world,” she said.

Contrastingly, sophomore Reese Dunbar has been performing since she was in first grade. She performed in last year’s musical, “Rock of Ages,” and has been enjoying her roles this year.

Dunbar’s characters Mandy and Jessica — a different Jessica from Sproul’s character — both have accents, which she said was initially a bit challenging. She’s excited to showcase the play, describing it as “entertaining, funny and enjoyable.”

Dunbar said acting has helped her come out of her shell, and she hopes other people learn about and appreciate theater’s social aspect as well. `It’s like a family,” she said of the atmosphere backstage.

Like Dunbar and Sproul, Bryant said he’s also experienced a very warm welcome from Clear Creek’s thespians. He started at the school last year, and Sandblom recruited him to join the “Rock of Ages” cast for his first-ever performance.

“I was able to be myself,” Bryant said. “It pushed me out of my comfort zone, and opened me up a lot.”

State of the arts A look at the many theatrically artistic endeavors going on around the Evergreen and Conifer area

Mountain Youth Musicals performs ’Rats’ Watch out for rats and other creatures when Mountain Youth Musicals performs “Rats” this week.

“Rats” is loosely based on the story of the Pied Piper of Hamelin, according to co-director Gretchen Moritz. At the beginning, it’s chaos with mischievous rats and angry townspeople, but by the end, everyone gets along.

“The kids are having a really good time with the show,” she said, noting that she looks for shows that have a lot of characters, so more children have opportunities to perform.

Third- through fifth-graders make up this cast, and every role is fun, Moritz said. Tonje Williams did the costumes, and Laurie Morrill created the sets. Katrina Glaser is the co-director.

“Rats” will be performed at 6:30 p.m. Nov. 11 and 12 at Center Stage in Evergreen. Tickets are available at www.mymusicals.org.

Next up for Mountain Youth Musicals’ middle school group is “Shrek the Musical.”

‘A Christmas Carol’ at EHS Evergreen High School’s theater department will kick off the holidays with performances of “A Christmas Carol” Nov. 18-20.

This version of the classic Charles Dickens tale is one that EHS theater teacher Scott Ogle performed in when he was a student at Iowa State University. By directing it, the play now has come full circle, he said.

“This version is not substantially different than what people are used to,” Ogle said. “It adds narrators who help with the descriptiveness.

It’s set in London and in the traditional time period.”

Students play multiple roles, Ogle said, providing them with many opportunities to act compared with the past few years when the pandemic impacted theater performances.

“It just felt right to do something that was hopeful, positive and redemptive,” he said.

Performances are at 7 p.m. Nov. 18, 19 and 20, with a 1 p.m. matinee on Nov. 20. Tickets are $12 for adults and $6 for students, and are available at Evergreenhstheatre.ticketleap.com.

the world as part of the school’s theater club.

The students will perform 11 folktales during a school assembly at 2 p.m. Nov. 11 with a performance for parents and the community at 6 p.m.

Stephanie Hobbs, who serves as director, set designer and costumer, has 39 students from kindergarten through sixth grade in the club.

Each of the folktales has a moral, and stories come from Africa, China, India, Mexico and indigenous peoples.

Hobbs, who traditionally has the club perform Shakespeare plays, decided to try folktales with a maximum of five performers for each story to help keep children safe and to make it easier to move the performance online if necessary.

Next semester, the club will be back to Shakespeare, doing scenes from a variety of his plays, Hobbs said. ’All Together Now’ performances Conifer theater programs are showing that they really are all together.

The actors from Venue Theatre, StageDoor Theatre and Conifer High School have joined together Nov. 12-14 to perform “All Together Now” at CHS. Music Theatre International created the review show featuring hit songs from well-known musicals and waived the rights to the show, in essence creating a fundraiser for small theaters. Theater groups across the country will perform the show on the same weekend.

Performances are at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 12, 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 13, and 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 14.

Tickets are $25 and are available at thevenuetheatre.com.

Open Sky Amphitheater at CBE CBE unveils its new outdoor amphitheater space with a party

ing, but he thought getting to see his son, Rabbi Jamie Arnold, in action was also fun.

“I think it will open up a lot of activities out here,” he said. “They’re trying to promote it as a community resource.”

Luke Colaciello, executive director of CBE, welcomes everyone to the event Saturday.

Ce 40 lebr Ye ati ar ng s

Food trucks, live music and kids on skates made for a perfect warm November day where Congregation Beth Evergreen could unveil its new outdoor amphitheater.

On Nov. 6, CBE held a soft opening for the venue, and congregants and community members gathered for a celebration of the space, which executive director Luke Colaciello hopes will become important for the community.

Its name is Open Sky Amphitheater at CBE or OSA. The word Osa in Hebrew, pronounced oh-sah, means “to make” or “she makes.”

Colaciello says this meaning works in nicely with the sense of community CBE officials are working on, and the name encapsulates the beauty of CBE’s location, as well as the community the congregation is working to promote.

“We want to use this space not only for the congregation but also for the Evergreen community,” he said.

The space was built in just 4.5 weeks by Dlin Construction Services, and CBE plans to rent the amphitheater out to groups starting in spring 2022.

Congregant Sarah Hess, whose family recently moved to Evergreen, played an instrumental role in setting up Saturday’s festivities.

“Events like this that bring the community to us and bring the congregation outside is a blessing,” she said.

Hess said where she is from, music and food are a requirement for a party, so CBE’s celebration was no exception. The event featured Da Mack Shack food truck and Anne’s a la Mode Coffee Truck.

Outdoor performances were provided by Franny & The Jets, Iron Roots, a community Drum Circle, the Evergreen Players Long Form Improv troupe and finished with CBE musicians.

Music is an important part of CBE’s congregation, and having this new space will allow it to continue to create music as a part of its worship.

Congregant Richard Arnold, a member for around eight years, was anticipating the new space. Arnold came to the event to see the unveil-

Taking on the Explorers Grand Slam Conifer’s Lara Daniel’s goal is to summit seven mountains plus go to both poles

BY OLIVIA JEWELL LOVE OLOVE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Lara Daniel has her eyes set on the Explorers Grand Slam.

The Conifer resident, who took up mountaineering in 2015, has an arduous task of taking on what are known as the Seven Summits — Everest, Aconcagua, Denali, Kilimanjaro, Elbrus, Vinson and Puncak Jaya. Add to that trips to both the North Pole and South Pole, and if she succeeds at all of those quests, Lara says she will be one of 75 people, including just 15 women, to achieve the Explorers Grand Slam.

So far, she has summited Mount Elbrus, Kilimanjaro, Puncak Jaya and Aconcagua.

“I’ve attempted Denali twice,” she said. “I’ve been shut down twice.”

Lara, 48, is focused on Mount Everest in 2022, with Denali, Mount Vinson and skiing to the South Pole in 2023-24, and finishing off the Grand Slam with skiing to the North Pole in 2024-25.

Mountaineering differs from hiking in that it involves more technical skill. It usually involves tough terrain including snow, ice and

glaciers.

As for her Mount Everest climb in March, Lara is well into her training. She says training has a physical component, a skills component and a thinking component.

Aside from being physically fit and making sure she is comfortable operating her gear, Lara says she needs to think through how she might react to scenarios that could happen on her trip.

So far, her husband, Steve, has joined her on her climbs, though Mount Everest will be the first without him. He said someone needs to take care of their five Alaskan malamutes during the two months the expedition will take.

COURTESY OF LARA DANIEL

Early days Growing up with her dad in the military, Lara lived many places including Denver and Colorado Springs, plus Berlin, Germany. However, she gravitated back to Colorado after graduating from Texas Tech.

“I literally moved back to Colorado the day after college graduation,” she said. “I’ve always enjoyed the outdoors.”

Her first mountaineering trip was with Steve to the Cascades in Washington, and after that, she was hooked.

Steve says mountaineering has made their relationship exciting.

“It definitely creates experiences we are able to do together that are very unique,” he said.

Lessons learned One of the most important things Lara says she has learned about mountaineering has been dealing with the uncomfortable, especially since weather can be one of the biggest roadblocks to the sport.

“It takes a commitment,” she said. “It takes training, it takes a specific want, a specific desire. It takes being OK with being uncomfortable.”

For Lara, keeping herself grounded and putting her well-being before any goal keeps her safe and enjoying her adventures.

“I don’t ever go into a climb expecting a summit,” she said. “The summit is a bonus.”

Steve says this mindset has kept the activity enjoyable for them.

“Because you’re not so hell-bent on achieving a specific goal, you free yourself up to enjoy the process,” he explained.

Philanthropy is another big part of Lara’s life, and Steve said one of Lara’s greatest qualities is tying her goals to the greater good. She has been involved in many organizations globally and in Colorado.

For her Everest climb, Lara is linking up with the Denver Pet Project to raise money for the organization and to let people follow her journey.

“She has a really unique ability to not only pursue her individual goals,” Steve said, “but to combine that with something that is helpful for others.”

and Nicolas Hudson. After a couple first downs, the Lobos carried the ball and the lead into the second quarter, reaching the Evergreen 36.

But the Cougar defense found its footing, starting with three good tackles at the line, including a stuff by defensive tackle Max Johnson on third-and-nine. That set up a fourth down, where Zalfa tried to swing right looking for an open receiver, but found nothing promising and had to throw it away.

The Cougars took over on downs and began their own march. Junior quarterback Tommy Poholsky made two passes for a first down, and then Junior Gabe Zimmer moved the chains with a run. And so it went until Poholsky hit Kelter Ocasek with a sideline pass to take the Cougars to the Lobo 17.

Poholsky kept the ball on the next down to move them five yards closer to the end zone. Zimmer then finished off the drive, running it the rest of the way in for his first of two rushing touchdowns.

The point after was good, and with 9:26 left in the half, Evergreen had the lead.

On the ensuing kick off, the Cougars tried to surprise with an onside kick, but the Lobo special teams unit was ready, and junior John Simms covered the ball.

“I’m extremely proud of our kids’ fight,” Conifer head coach John Shipley said of his team.

And that fight showed, because the Lobos came right back with two impressive plays. Starting on his own 48 yard-line, Womack took the handoff, swung left and zoomed past a good number of Evergreen defenders, finally taken down on the Evergreen 21. Then it was Hudson’s turn, carry-

The two-point conversion failed, making the score 12-7 with nine minutes still left in the half.

The rival squads traded possessions for the rest of the half, neither able to sustain a drive into scoring territory, though Evergreen got close. Again, it would be a monster pass by Poholsky that would set up a Cougar scoring opportunity. A bomb of a throw took Evergreen from its own 26 to the Lobo red zone during the last two minutes of the half.

But Womack, who was a standout through the whole game on both sides of the ball, ensured his team carried its lead into the locker room at halftime when he snagged a rare tipped pass from Poholsky.

“In the first half we were playing with heart, but our heads weren’t into it,” Poholsky said. “It was a rough first half, but we rallied.”

Evergreen head coach Matt Van Praag concurred that it was largely a mental attitude adjustment that let his team improve in the second half.

“We’ve banded together and grown together. We continue to do this for Coach Poholsky,” Van Praag said, referencing his Assistant Coach Tom Poholsky (Tommy’s father) who passed away unexpectedly on Oct. 6.

During Evergreen’s first possession of the second half, Tommy Poholsky’s passing accuracy continued to pay dividends. A bullet-like pass on third down to senior Jacob Rutherford got the Cougars across midfield. Then, after a holding penalty set up a thirdand-15, Poholsky made another clutch

pass to enter the Conifer red zone.

“I feel like I have a connection with all my receivers,” Poholsky said after the game. “They’re putting the work in to be the best they can be, and so am I.” Poholsky ended the game with a stat line of 20 receptions on 29 throws for 181 yards. He connected with seven total receivers, including a touchdown pass to Rutherford.

Zimmer would finish the drive with the second of his two rushing touchdowns to make the score 14-12.

The second half saw Evergreen start to take control with longer drives and more scoring chances. Kicker Owen Pardo made a 46-yard field goal to extend the Cougar lead 17-14.

Conifer was forced into a three-andout on its next possession, and Evergreen made another march, leading all the way to a third-and-goal from the 3 yard-line. Poholsky tried for the QB sneak over the line but didn’t make it, or maybe did. The play was whistled dead even as he seemed to stretch his arms and the ball into the end zone.

While Poholsky had been able to run a bit against other opponents this year, scoring rushing touchdowns against four other opponents, the Conifer Dline contained him to negative rushing yards on the night.

Zimmer finally punched the ball across the line for good. With the extra point, the Cougars had a 24-12 lead with just 4:25 left in the fourth quarter.

Conifer’s Shipley admits that his team “got a little tired on defense, especially when they were going NASCAR mode,” referring to the no-huddle, fastpaced Cougar approach through much of the second half.

The Lobos still had fight in them though. After the kickoff, the Conifer offense worked its way down the field from its own 29. With Zalfa throwing some risky passes, the home team scored another touchdown and made the extra point to make it 24-19 with 2:30 left to play.

The ensuing on-sides kick attempt

failed, but so did Evergreen’s attempts to move the ball, punting it away on fourth-and-14.

Womack was back to receive the punt for Conifer, and the 150-pound player ran like hell, cutting through almost the entire Evergreen team before being brought down deep in Cougar territory. Unfortunately, the amazing effort was cut in half by an illegal block in the back.

The Lobos were left with less than a minute on the clock and half of the field to cover. Zalfa’s first pass was to a deep Lobo receiver, but the Evergreen secondary had the man triple-teamed.

On second down, same story. Third down was a shorter attempt, over the middle, but this time Evergreen senior Ty Cox was there to make the interception and end the game.

“The energy’s incredible!” Cox said following the win, surrounded by celebrating teammates.

“He’s just been a kid who’s grinded for four years and finally has had his opportunity to play,” Van Praag said.

“It’s wonderful to see, and that’s the kind of kid you want in your program.”

Van Praag added that the secondary players in general would be facing a few extra push-ups this week for not getting more of those possible interceptions.

Coach Shipley said he was impressed with several of his players’ performances, including Mason Rosser on defense and Womack.

“He’s special and will be a success no matter what he does,” Shipley said of Womack.

Shipley added that the loss to Evergreen would be just one of several close games that his relatively young team would use to fuel their desire for a better 2022 campaign.

The win helped improve Evergreen’s post-season standing. The Cougars play Durango on Nov. 13 in first-round action.

He’s a mechanical engineer, an authority on vintage aircraft, a professor, an author and a family man.

Yet, when Chester “Chet” Peek talks about the most exciting time in

his 101-year life, he is quick to mention serving in the U.S. Air Force in England during World War II. “No question, the most exciting period was the time I spent in England during the war,” Chet said while sitting in his apartment at Elk Run Assisted Living. “Things were kind of serious then. I was pretty fortunate with everything.”

Family members call him a man of calm determination, very bright and very kind. He is part of what has been called the Greatest Generation, those who lived through both the Great Depression and World War II. “He is of the generation where you

take what comes and you make the best of it, but at the same time, he was always determined to make a good life for his family,” said granddaughter Jennie Peek-Dunstone, who lives near Squaw Pass. “He moved up the ranks and problemsolved whether in the war, as an engineer or as a teacher.”

“He gave us a good moral compass,” said his son Stan Peek, who lives in Evergreen. “The biggest thing I learned from him is he tried to do things right, and by that, I mean he is always kind to people.

I never heard a cross word to my mother ever, and I don’t think he ever yelled at us. He treated everybody with respect, and he was completely honest.”

Chet has two sons, five grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.

Early years Born in Lamars, Iowa, in 1920, Chet learned to read at age 3 and graduated from high school by 16. He stayed home to work on the family farm until he turned 17, then attended Iowa State University, majoring in mechanical engineering. There he met his soon-to-be wife Marian, who was majoring in home economics.

Before graduating, he enlisted in the Air Force.

June 1942 was a busy month. He left for basic training the day before he graduated, so Marian accepted his diploma during the graduation ceremony. They wed on June 18, 1942, when he was able to get 24-hour

leave, and they were married for 74 years until her death five years ago.

Chet earned his commission as a second lieutenant, eventually attaining the rank of captain, and was sent to England with the 95th Bomb Group. He oversaw mechanics and specialists who maintained the planes, and a pilot himself, he said he flew three or four missions over Germany.

The hardest part about being overseas for three years, he said, was being away from Marian.

He was discharged in October 1945 and worked as a mechanical engineer for Frigidaire and for a livestock trailer company in Oklahoma, settling with Marian and his two sons, Stan and Tom, in Norman, Oklahoma.

He eventually earned a doctorate in mechanical engineering and was a professor at the University of Oklahoma for 20 years, retiring in 1990.

A penchant for planes Not one to let the grass grow under his feet, after he retired from the University of Oklahoma, he began writing books about the history of primarily World War II airplanes including “Resurrection of a Jenny,” “The First Cub” and “Flying with 40 Horses: A History of the Continental A-40 Aircraft Engine and the Planes It Flew.”

Holiday bazaar boasts unique goods Church of the Cross hosts an event benefiting the Afghan Refugee Fund

BY OLIVIA JEWELL LOVE OLOVE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The day was warm, but one step into the Church of the Cross transported you into a winter wonderland, complete with all the wardrobe and treats one could need to get ready for the holiday season.

The Church of the Cross in Evergreen hosted a holiday bazaar on Nov. 6, featuring baked goods, ski apparel, hats, hand-made bowls and more.

Jill Hansen, the outreach chairwoman for the church, volunteered at the event. She helped to bake many of the pastries available for purchase with a portion of the funds going to the Afghan Refugee Fund.

Church officials hope to raise $5000 for the fund, and they are halfway there. They hope the event today will get them closer.

The vendors at the event paid a percentage of their sales to the fund instead of a table fee. One vendor, Nanci Thomas, has been taking her business to shows around Colorado for 17 years.

Thomas, owner of NJ D’Vine from Indian Hills, designed the vintage ski shirts she had with her at the bazaar.

“There are a lot of people here getting excited for winter,” she said.

Selling felt hats and beanies is something Thomas loves to do.

Today she had delighted customers walking out wearing their new purchases.

“You just love to see them happy!” she said.

said, noting that he had written articles for various magazines over the years but never anything as long and detailed as books.

An ancillary benefit of the book research, he said, was traveling to the factories where the planes had been manufactured.

He spent decades restoring antique planes, and his family talks about a hangar and workshop he had at a private airstrip in Norman, noting that he restored 33 planes over the years.

Stan remembers flying with his dad on some of those aircraft as a young boy.

Stan said Chet promised Marian

he would stop flying when he turned 90, though he would still take out a plane, take it down the runway, fly about 20 feet in the air and then land.

Stan said his dad didn’t think that counted as flying an airplane.

Granddaughter Jennie remembers playing in the field while Grandpa Chet was restoring a plane, and he would take the grandkids for a ride.

One of Chet’s prized restorations was of a 1917 Curtiss JN “Jenny” biplane, and Jennie thought the plane was named after her. In 1989, at the Experimental Aircraft Association’s famous air show in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, Chet took an antique aircraft award for the biplane.

without her. He moved to Greeley to be closer to the family and eventually to Evergreen.

“Like most veterans, he didn’t start talking about the war until he was in his 80s,” Stan said. “That’s probably because we started asking.”

Jennie said Chet has always been willing to try something new, impressed that he learned to operate an iPhone, send text messages, use a Kindle and more.

Later years Chet moved out of the Norman, Oklahoma, home after Marian died, saying he couldn’t be to live there

remains besides what we produce,” he said.

Before he tried his hand at turning, Osteroos enjoyed creating stained glass and hand carving wood. He got more into the lathe during the pandemic.

“They’re all mostly hand done; you never know how it’ll come out when you put the block on the turner,” he said.

Customers enjoyed perusing the vendor tables and looking at the unique products. They also could grab a pastry and a hot drink to sit and chat while enjoying the atmosphere.

She also noted that it’s been fun to hear about his life, “to talk with him about all the things he’s seen in his life.”

Son Stan added: “I think I could say for both my brother and I that these are the bonus years,” as Chet is headed for his 102nd birthday. “It’s such a delight to be around him.”

Colo. measure to raise pot tax for education fails Proposition 119 split high-profile Democrats

BY DANIEL DUCASSI THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado voters rejected a proposal to increase taxes on recreational marijuana to pay for out-of-school support services for students like tutoring and therapy.

Supporters of Proposition 119 admitted defeat at about 8:30 p.m. election night, Nov. 2.

With nearly 1.4 million ballots counted as of late Nov. 3, the measure was failing with 54.4% rejecting the initiative and 46% in support, about a 120,000-vote deficit.

The mood at the Maven Hotel in downtown Denver, where about 50 supporters for Proposition 119 held the official Yes on 119 watch party, was hopeful around 7 p.m. on election night as attendees sipped drinks and nibbled on hors d’oeuvres while watching early results trickle in. But the mood began to fade after 8 p.m. as the measure looked increasingly unlikely to succeed. Few supporters remained by 8:30 p.m.

Judy Solano, a Democratic former state representative and retired school teacher who helped lead the opposition, said she was “thrilled that the voters were smart enough to realize that creating a huge new bureaucracy to take care of one issue in education… would have been a very expensive and unnecessary thing to do.”

She thinks voters “saw through” supporters’ arguments and decided “we have to properly fund our schools before we do anything else.”

Members of Colorado’s cannabis industry were also celebrating.

“Despite being significantly outspent by proponents, Colorado voters still soundly rejected using cannabis as a piggy bank for out-of-state special interest projects,” said Peter Marcus, spokesman for Boulderbased cannabis company Terrapin Care Station, which worked with opponents of the measure on its defeat. “We can’t balance the state budget and education on the backs

of cannabis consumers; we need long-term solutions that address structural deficiencies.”

Supporters of the measure were disappointed.

“The significant gap in achievement between students from wealthy families and their low-income peers has been an unfortunate educational outcome in Colorado for years — and tonight’s results mean it will likely continue to get worse before it gets better,” Curtis Hubbard, a spokesman for the Yes on Prop. 119 committee, said in a statement. “Access to affordable, quality after-school education services is not a possibility for many families living in Colorado — and we will work with anyone who has a better idea on how to tackle the problem.”

Josh Penry, a Republican former state senator and consultant to the Yes on Prop. 119 campaign, attributed the loss to opposition on both sides of the aisle, with Democrats and Republicans both finding elements of the measure to dislike.

“Base Democrats rallied against the school choice elements, base Republicans objected to the tax increase, and in an electorate dominated by voters over the age 60, there just weren’t enough parents and voters in the middle to get us to 50% plus 1,” Penry said.

Supporters of Proposition 119 had said the program would give kids from lower income families a chance to access tutoring and enrichment programs, helping those kids catch up academically to more privileged peers and start to regain ground they lost during the pandemic.

The measure enjoyed bipartisan support, including from high-profile Colorado Democrats like Gov. Jared Polis, former Gov. Bill Ritter, former Denver Mayor Wellington Webb, former U.S. Sen. Mark Udall and state Sen. Rhonda Fields. Republican former Gov. Bill Owens was a supporter, as was GOP state Sen. Bob Gardner, of Colorado Springs.

“The hours our children spend after school are a critical time, and Proposition 119 will allow more kids to benefit from after-school learning activities — from tutoring to music

Marijuana at a Denver grow facility.

and art,” Polis said in a statement.

But the measure also faced bipartisan opposition. State Sen. Julie Gonzales, a Denver Democrat, and Senate Minority Leader Chris Holbert, a Douglas County Republican, co-wrote an opinion piece in The Gazette opposing the measure.

Also against the measure was Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser, a Democrat who said the measure “diverts new marijuana tax revenue from appropriate uses, shifts limited state funds from our public K-12 schools and it lacks robust oversight and accountability.”

Some public education advocates saw it as a slippery slope to a voucher system and a threat to public education in the state. Any new tax revenue for education, they argued, should go into the existing system rather than a whole new program.

said the increased sales tax would have punished those least able to pay and could push consumers back into the black market.

Sam Heiden, a Denver resident who was voting in his first Denver election on Tuesday, voted no on Proposition 119, questioning why dollars from increased taxes wouldn’t go to benefit the state’s public schools instead of out-ofschool learning opportunities.

“Why is it not just going directly to schools instead of out-of-school activities that may or may not benefit certain groups of students?” the 26-year-old Democrat asked after voting at the Wellington E. Webb Municipal Office Building in downtown Denver.

Sale of Casa Bonita complete Purchase approved by judge after group withdraws opposition

BY STAFF REPORT

On Nov. 2, a bankruptcy judge approved the sale of Casa Bonita to Trey Parker and Matt Stone, creators of the animated, South Park television series.

The sale’s approval came just days after a group called “Save Casa Bonita” withdrew a court filing objecting to the transaction.

Earlier this year, Save Casa

industry was unfairly targeted.

“If it’s that important, then the tax burden should be spread across a wider tax base than just marijuana. If we’re gonna kill the goose, we’re gonna wind up having a black market again,” he said.

Lucas said he understands the need to help children succeed academically, “but if kids are not achieving in school, it seems to me the money should go to schools and not to after school programs.”

The program would have largely been paid for by raising recreational

Bonita used proceeds from a GoFundMe campaign, to purchase some of the restaurant’s debt after Casa Bonita’s previous owners, Summit Family Restaurants, declared bankruptcy.

In September, Parker and Stone agreed to buy the iconic Lakewood restaurant — loved more for its cliff divers and family friendly attractions than its food — for $3.1 million.

Parker and Stone haven’t said when they plan to reopen Casa Bonita. But, in an August press conference with Governor, Jared Polis, the creative duo firmly declared their intentions to improve the food, when they do.

A view from the Casa Bonita tour.

marijuana taxes by 5 percentage points, to 20% from 15%, phased in over three years. Non-partisan legislative staff estimated the new taxes would have raised more than $87 million next fiscal year, and the new revenue would have been exempt from state constitutional spending limits.

Gary Community Investment Company donated more than $2.2 million to support the measure, with nearly $780,000 of that coming since Oct. 20.

The issue committee raised $2.6 million and spent $2.4 million through Oct. 27, which doesn’t include another $250,000 Gary Community Investment Company donated on Oct. 28. Ready Colorado,

a conservative education reform nonprofit, donated $525,000 to the issue committee.

The opposition to 119 was not as well financed.

The Cannabis Community for Fairness and Safety, an issue committee that opposed the ballot measure, received $25,000 each from the Marijuana Industry Association and The Green Solution. The committee spent nearly $31,000 on a website, advertising and flyers.

No on Prop 119 reported spending only $7,500, all of it on a website, which came via an in-kind contribution from Coloradans Against School Vouchers. The national Working Families Organization donated more than $5,100 in texting
