Helping nonprofits help themselves Evergreen Lutheran Church hosts this year’s Alternative Gift Fair, featuring 30 vendors

BY OLIVIA JEWELL LOVE OLOVE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Buying once and gifting twice is the motto for the Alternative Gift Fair in Evergreen, where purchases benefit not only the gift recipients but also the nonprofit they were purchased from.

The 21st Alternative Gift Fair, hosted at Evergreen Lutheran Church this past weekend, had 30 nonprofit and charity vendors. The vendors receive 100% of funds from sales, made possible by the bake sale portion of the fair and the donation of space by Evergreen Lutheran Church.

Jean Wells, part of the vendor relations team, explained the mechanics of the day and described the feeling of people lining up at the door in years past.

“I think it’s kind of like going to a rock concert,” she said.

Wells said she had great community feedback leading up to the event, and people get excited for the fair every year.

“Everyone was so excited to hear that we would be here,” she said.

In 2019, the last year the fair was held in person, vendors took home more than $100,000 for their nonprofits. This money benefits local and global organizations. Last year’s

Silent Auction to Benefit IMHS Artwork auction at River Canyon Gallery in Bailey to raise money for animal shelter

BY OLIVIA JEWELL LOVE OLOVE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With helping animals on their minds and creativity flowing in their souls, the artists of River Canyon Gallery have a lot to offer in the way of art for sale.

River Canyon Gallery in Bailey is hosting a silent auction running from through Dec. 1. The art pieces up for grabs are donated by local artists, many of whom are featured in the gallery. Proceeds go to the Intermountain Humane Society.

“The silent auction, I guess, was my idea,” gallery artist Elaine Gosnell said. “It was in August when I got the idea.”

Gosnell, an artist since she was 4 years old, remembers sitting by her mother and painting as a child.

A purple cardigan crocheted by Terry Calhoun hangs in the gallery.

Artist Elaine Gosnell shows off some of the pieces in the gallery.

As she got older, Gosnell took to oil painting and found that to be her specialty.

After a medical condition affected the use of her hands, Gosnell thought she was done painting.

A few years later, she discovered acrylic pour painting, which she has been doing ever since. She has multiple unique pieces featured in the auction.

Fellow gallery artist Terry Cal-

houn has pieces up for auction this month as well. She creates jewelry and crochets sweaters and hats.

Calhoun free hands her own designs for her work.

“I never follow directions,” she said, laughing.

Calhoun has been featured in the gallery for more than 10 years and has been seriously pursuing art since 1998. When she heard about Gosnell’s idea for the auction, she SEE IMHS, P15

4th Generation Eagle Scout Evergreen teen earns his Eagle Scout ranking at age 13

BY OLIVIA JEWELL LOVE OLOVE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

On his first day as a Boy Scout in fifth grade, Tyler Guyton introduced himself to his Scoutmaster by saying, “I’m going to be the youngest Eagle Scout in your troop,” and gave the date he planned to complete his project.

Troop 888 Scoutmaster Mitch Goldenberg laughed at the gall of the little Scout but would soon learn about the legacy Tyler hoped to uphold.

He told Tyler: “We’ll support you in any way we can, but there are no shortcuts.”

Nationally, only 4% of Boy Scouts attain the Eagle Scout rank.

Tyler Guyton is a fourth-generation Eagle Scout, following his father, grandfather and great-grandfather. Tyler earned the honor on Aug. 17, 2021, exactly 65 years after his grandfather earned this honor.

Most Boy Scouts earn this award at around age 17. Tyler completed his project at age 13, three days earlier in age than his dad was when he completed his project years before.

Knowing how busy life can get in high school, father Brad Guyton mentioned to his son that he might consider completing his project ear-

ly. Tyler quickly took the reins and plotted his path to a Eagle Scout.

To achieve the Eagle designation, a Scout must earn 21 merit badges, advance through six prior ranks, and lead a team through a community-based Eagle Scout project.

“It was really cool because I got to try something on my own,” he said of planning the project.

He decided to build an outdoor classroom at his school, Evergreen Middle School, that could be used for classes during the pandemic.

That began hundreds of hours of work calling companies to donate supplies, filling out paperwork and completing the labor.

Brad Guyton says the work that went into this project helped shape Tyler’s work ethic.

“He learned to work hard at a really young age,” Brad said.

Brad is no stranger to the effort that goes into becoming an Eagle

Scout. His project years ago surveyed a hiking area at a church and created a map system accessible to hikers. He reminisced on some of the important parts of being a Boy Scout.

“You get into Scouting because you want to help others and have adventures,” he said. “Every time the door opens, you just gotta walk through it.”

Tyler is the youngest Eagle Scout in Troop 888’s 50-year history. Goldenberg was impressed, but says the work is not over.

“It’s an exceptional accomplishment,” he said. ““He’s earned it; now he has to live up to it.”

Tyler still has things to achieve as a Boy Scout. He has badges to earn, and for every five he gets after being

an Eagle Scout, he gets an Eagle Palm to indicate he has gone above and beyond.

While Tyler hopes he won’t make mistakes like forgetting his coat on two cold-weather camping trips years ago, he still has things to learn and grow from in Scouting. Completing his award at a young age means now he gets to work on his relationships with the other Scouts.

Goldenberg has given him the opportunity to help others with pursuing the Eagle Scout rank, and expects he will continue to exemplify leadership and set the bar high for others.

Dad Brad added: “If you get it early, you can focus more on leadership opportunities and helping younger Scouts.”

Packing bags for homeless veterans TallGrass organizes annual event to give back to servicemen and servicewomen

BY OLIVIA JEWELL LOVE OLOVE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The seemingly lofty goal of packing 100 hygiene bags for homeless veterans in Colorado quickly became easily achieved when TallGrass Spa and Salon started getting generous donations from the community.

Instead, about 20 volunteers packed 412 bags in one hour on Friday morning. The bags were filled with items such as soap, toothbrush-

es, sanitizer, deodorant and other hygiene products. Local students also wrote notes, drew pictures and folded origami to include in the bags.

Gail Sharp, owner of TallGrass, was blown away by the support the community provided for the project.

“I wasn’t sure if we’d get 100. Then as more and more (donated items) came, I ordered more bags,” she said.

Eleven years ago, TallGrass Spa and Salon started its Soldier Box Project, where volunteers packed hygiene supplies for soldiers overseas. With troops withdrawing from Afghanistan, this year the group decided to focus its efforts on local homeless veterans.

The project was originally started SEE SOLDIER BOX, P6

One egg, over-hard.

CONIFER – Powerful halogen headlamps illuminating only that portion of night-shrouded pavement directly in front of his grille, home-bound Toyota was startled by a loud “bang” on his vehicle’s port beam. When calamity did not result, he continued home where he discovered the spattered remains of a long-expired egg drying on the car’s front door. It wasn’t until he washed off the omelet fixings that Toyota noticed a dime-sized ding in the door and called JCSO. The car had been purchased by an acquisition company only the day before, he told deputies, and while he didn’t see poultry-pitching poltroon personally, Toyota suspected the cholesterol-laden missile had been fired from the forest adjacent the highway. Officers noted both the damaged paint and a smattering of tell-tale shell fragments littering the road where Toyota said they could expect to find them. Lacking a suspect in the case, it’s possible that the righteous chickens of justice may never come home to roost.

Extreme parenting CONIFER – Racing to the scene of a 911 domestic crisis call, deputies were relieved to find Missus awaiting them on the porch, apparently

November 17, 2021

unharmed, and asked her to relate the nature of her imminent peril.

Missus said that, upon arriving at home after a hard day’s work, she’d expressed to Mister her displeasure that he hadn’t yet fed the kids their supper. Despite her previous warnings that he not swear in front of the children, Mister had begun to “curse loudly”, prompting Missus to call the cops. “I wanted him to know I mean business,” she said. On the subject of inappropriate behavior, the officers may have been wondering if the emergency 911 system is the appropriate instrument for settling disagreements regarding proper domestic decorum. “I’m worried he’ll set a bad example for the children,” Missus explained.

Deputies took the only appropriate course of action, which was none.

Nowhere man EVERGREEN – An overnight guest at Larry’s house, Curly called JCSO on the night of Oct. 21 with a harrowing report. Larry’s friend, Moe, had come by earlier in the evening for drinks, Curly said. A lot of drinks. Larry and Moe had gotten into a fight, Moe had been ejected from the premises, and Larry was even then at an urgent care facility where medicos were tending what could be life-threatening injuries.

Believing they could be more helpful in person, concerned deputies asked for Larry’s address. Curly said he didn’t know the address. Deputies suggested he step outside and look at the house number. Curly said he had no idea how to explain the location of Larry’s house other than to say it’s “out in the woods.” Anyway, Curly pressed on, he was really only calling because he suspected that Moe had snatched his overnight bag on the way out the door, and he wondered if the officers wouldn’t mind trying to get it back for him. Deputies called Moe’s house, but Moe wasn’t taking calls. Deputies called Larry, and were mildly surprised to find him at home and apparently hale. Larry said that sure, he and Moe had mixed it up a little bit, but the mauling had been mutual and neither was much the worse for wear. With no direct evidence of a theft, and no assault charges in the offing, officers left the case “out in the woods” where they found it.

Sub-par performance EVERGREEN – Frazier remembered it this way: He and his son were attending a youth golf tournament on Oct. 21 when his son came to him complaining that Ali had threatened to “kick my (aspirations).” Frazier had confronted Ali

at the bar, telling Ali he couldn’t talk to his son that way and inviting him outside for supplementary emphasis. The moment he reached the bottom of the clubhouse stairs, Frazier said, Ali clobbered him in the kisser, sparking a brief bout of blows between them. Frazier had minor facial abrasions, but declined to press charges, telling deputies “I own my mistake” and should not have confronted Ali directly. Ali remembered it this way: Frazier’s son had been disrupting a presentation, and he’d firmly, but kindly, instructed the child to “be quiet.” Confronted at the bar, Ali had followed Frazier down the steps only to be sucker-punched in the puss when he reached the bottom. Ali had a bloody nose, but declined to press charges, telling deputies he’d “like to shake (Ali’s) hand.” Lacking witnesses to the event, deputies gave both men a Mulligan.

SOLDIER BOX FROM PAGE 5

by Deb Dickinson from the salon when she started packing boxes with friends and then got more of the community involved.

“This has been amazing once TallGrass and Rotary got involved,” she said.

Dickinson feels a special connection to the project. Her father was a prisoner of war, so she finds volunteering like this to be a good way to honor him. “(We’re) just supporting our military however we can,” she said.

Volunteers on Friday and at an earlier sorting event came from

volunteer groups such as Rotary, National Honor Society and Blue Spruce Kiwanis.

Kristy Tolan, a Kiwanis member, has been volunteering with the Soldier Box Project roughly five years ago, and she was moved by the overwhelming support from the community.

“You can tell from the donations the impact it has on the community,” Tolan said.

“I don’t have words for it. I just want to cry.”

After packing the bags, the volunteers loaded them into trucks that took them to the Volunteers of America Bill Daniels Veteran Service Center in Denver to be distributed to homeless veterans.

Some shoppers even came from Denver to shop at the fair. Claudia Giannetti, a volunteer and shopper, came to explore the unique gifts the fair had to offer.

“This is a great place to shop because you get items in a fair-trade way,” she said.

Giannetti volunteered in the morning with Global Mamas, a cooperative of women in Ghana who create prosperity for themselves through creating and selling handmade products. Global Mamas had lots of items to offer that Giannetti picked up, including soap, shea but-

The fair is a great opportunity to get some holiday shopping done early, while helping support a diverse group of organizations.

“I bought for my daughter, my granddaughter,” Giannetti said.

The Alternative Gift Fair was supported this year by six local interfaith congregations, including Evergreen Lutheran Church, United Methodist Church of Evergreen, Church of the Hills Presbyterian, Congregation Beth Evergreen, Church of the Transfiguration and Christ the King Catholic Church.

People left the fair with full bags, with rumors floating around of vendors selling products extremely quickly on the first day of the event; Saturday event-goers seemed happy they arrived early!

VOICES Wildlife does not observe Daylight Saving Time

ollowing war-time examples of Germany and Austria, the United States adopted Daylight Saving Time in 1918. The time shift, along with the season’s early onset of dusk and dawn, can align the human rush hour with the regular crepuscular movements of wildlife.

According to the Colorado Department of Transportation, November records more vehiclewildlife accidents than at any other time of the year. Migration to wintering habitats as well as deer mating season contribute to the increase.

Trouble spots in the Denver metro area listed by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) are: I-70 through Mount Vernon Canyon and Floyd Hill Highway 285 from the Jefferson County-Park County line to C-470 Highway 74 from Elk Meadow to Evergreen Lake In 2020, there were 40 animals reported killed on Highway 74,

A

nother odd-number year Election Day, another school board election with slates of candidates in Jefferson County. We deserve better.

While school board members in Jefferson County represent specific districts, they are elected at-large with all voters allowed to vote in every district. As slates win or lose, it is less likely that differences among members lead to meaningful debate or discussion on even the most controversial issues. With that dynamic, we tend to elect school board members who are likely to see most issues the same way as their colleagues and constituents who disagree are left without a voice.

Lest you think this discussion is sour grapes because the candidates I supported lost, that is not the

nearly all between I-70 and Evergreen Lake. CDOT considers that for every animal carcass that is counted, another animal was killed but not reported.

While deer account for the highest percentage of species killed Christie Greene on roads around the state, elk are frequent victims of car crashes in Evergreen. One particular location, on the south side of the blind hill between Lewis Ridge Road and Stagecoach Road, is responsible for more vehicle-elk collisions than any other location in CDOT’s Region 1.

While bear strikes are unusual in Evergreen, three bears lost their lives on Highway 74 in 2020.

The effects of an impact can be costly, both emotionally and financially.

To consider the economics of a

INSIDE THE OUTDOORS

collision with wildlife, one must include the cost of personal injuries, deductibles for insurance claims and time away from work among other concerns. Additionally, Colorado Parks and Wildlife has assigned a dollar value to wildlife that are considered as property of the state’s citizens Accounts of wildlife collisions by local drivers are full of grief, shock and stress. In “After the Crash,” over 75% of drivers and passengers involved in vehicle crashes reported feeling some level of anxiety, including PTSD. The Colorado State Patrol has listed several recommendations to lessen the risk of a wildlife-vehicle collision: • Drive more slowly and stay alert, especially when you see a wildlife warning sign.

• If you see one deer or elk, expect others.

• Remember to scan ahead on the sides of the road for signs of movement, day and night.

• Stopped traffic, or perhaps the

blinking of lights, is a strong signal that there could be wildlife on the road ahead.

Being impatient and trying to pass these bottlenecks can result in accidents. One social media comment stated, “The car from behind my vehicle raced around the bottleneck, zoomed at top speed in the left lane and slammed into a family of deer.”

Evergreen enjoys a resident herd of elk that knows no fear of cars and leisurely moves across Highway 74 with impunity. The best and only way to avoid the ugly reality of an animal-vehicle strike is to follow the advice of the agencies that regularly respond to the aftermath of such collisions.

The great slate debate GREG ROMBERG

case. The slate (yes, despite my opposition to candidates running in slates, I, like most people in Jeffco, voted that way) that I voted for won. However, we would be better served if we make a couple fundamental changes to how we select school board members in

this county.

First, board members should be chosen by voters who live in their districts, not from the county at-large. In a county as big as this one, people who live in different parts of the county often see the world differently from people who live in other parts of the county.

At-large selection does not allow the voices of people from disparate parts of the county to be heard in a way that voting by district would.

Second, it makes sense for us to increase the number of board members from five to seven. More districts with fewer people in each district would make it more likely that each school board member will reflect the beliefs and values of his or her constituents. A more diverse board will inevitably result in school board discussions and debates that ensure that a wider range of thoughts and belilefs are considered.

Similar arguments can (and should) be made about how we elect county commissioners. Given the budget difficulties Jefferson County currently faces, now may not be the time to make this

change, but we should re-open the debate about going from three to five county commissioners and electing them by district instead of at-large.

But the time is ripe for us to change how we elect school board before the next school board elections in 2023. To ensure a board that more accurately reflects voters from throughout our county and to encourage more independence by each board member, we should increase the number of school board members from five to seven and elect them by district instead of at-large.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

A strain to the system Elk Creek Fire currently responds to all injury accidents in its 15,000-resident protection district. Full Send Bike Ranch, if it is built, will weaken ECF’s capability in three ways: 1. By serving alcoholic beverages on site. The number of intoxicated drivers must increase on Shadow Mountain Drive, as well as along every route within ECFPD’s boundaries. Intoxicated or not, 350 to 700+ park patrons will increase the number of accidents at the difficult intersections on CR-73/Shadow Mountain Drive, CR-73/Barkley Road, Barkley Road exit from US-285 (in front of West Jeff Elementary School) and Shadow Mountain Dr./South Warhawk Road.

2. By expecting to tap ECF EMS whenever its own first aid resources are inadequate to injuries within the park, possibly depriving residents of life-saving EMS response and taking one of ECF’s units out of district for up to six hours.

3. By increasing financial burden on EDFPD

who, in 2020 experienced defaults of nearly 18% against allowed requests for payments on services rendered. ECF depends heavily on mill levies for its support, which residents have, over numerous election cycles, approved and paid. FSBR will not be charged mill levies (just seeking to lease the land) and thus will access emergency services for which they bear no fiscal responsibility.

In summary: Two individuals from Denver will augment their own incomes with Conifer Area residents’ mill levies while detracting from ECF’s ability to respond to emergencies in its own District.

Sound good? FSBR thinks so. Visit StopFullSendBikeRanch.com to petition against FSBR. G. Scott O’Connell, Conifer Wake up Wake up America or you will lose your freedom, your right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit

of Happiness. Joe Biden and his gang of socialists are leading the USA down the road of socialism.

Think, everything Biden has thought of, made a decision on, or wished for, has been a disaster to this country and another step toward socialism. His dealings with China leads me to think he may be beholden to, and under their influence.

Do not forget the son! Mentally Biden has shown he is incapable of fulfilling the requirements of the office he holds. He has shown he spends less time working as president than any other recent president who has sat in that chair.

Joe Biden is old, worn out, weary of mind and relies on his gangster group of socialists for decisions.

Our veterans whose valiant service to this country are disgraced by Joe Biden’s police style of government.

Do you see what we all see?

The resume came through first, and then an email, and finally a phone call. The person trying to connect with me is someone whom I have known for a long time. When they let me know that they were searching for a new opportunity and asked me if I would be willing to help, I enthusiastically agreed. This is a friend and former colleague whom I hold in very high regard.

As I reviewed the resume and cover letter, I was a bit taken aback as neither document spoke about the person that I have known for years. The information and accomplishments were understated to say the least.

The poor resume wasn’t what was really bothering me, it was more than that. This was someone whom I respected, loved, and appreciated.

My next step was to call them and schedule a time for an immediate video call. I wanted to be able to see them, their eyes, face, and posture as I knew something wasn’t right.

When we began our conversation and got past the pleasantries, they asked me what I thought about their resume. Instead of answering, I

M

asked if I could ask a quick question first. I asked them this, “What happened to the person I have known for the past 10 years?”

They were a bit confused and a little shaken.

I said, “Look, as I read your resume Michael Norton and cover letter, I didn’t see anything exciting or noteworthy, there were no mentions of the three massive projects that reshaped the business trajectory of your company, nothing about the team’s achievements, and I was shocked that any reference to your thought leadership was also absent.”

They had let me know that the past 20 months had finally gotten the better of them. Early on it was losing people because they had to make cuts. Then it was being burnt out and overworked, and then it was losing people because they had better options or just didn’t want to come to an office any longer. My

WINNING WORDS

friend took all of this very personally. Finally, the executive team placed the blame squarely on their shoulders for the lack of people and lack of productivity. The pressure was just too much.

As my good friend and coach Tom Ziglar says, this was a perfect, “Are you kidding me?” moment. That means after I ask, “Are you kidding me?” I follow that up with questions and comments about all their past accomplishment and successes. I reminded my friend that what they had achieved was nothing short of extraordinary. So, I asked one more question, “When you look in the mirror, what do you see?”

The response included words such as tired, worried, afraid, mad, and a disappointment. I responded as if looking into the same mirror with others who knew them too. “Yes, we see someone who is like so many others out there in the world right now, we see tired, worried, and afraid. Do you know what else we see? We see someone who needs a different mirror. We see someone who needs to see what the rest of us see, eyes with reignited passion,

unparalleled wisdom and knowledge, someone who loves people, intentionality of purpose, courage, and we see the most hopeful person we know, the person who stood by each of us when we were down. We see the winner in you.”

This week my friend was hired into a bigger role than they had ever had before.

The moral of this story is that each one of us has someone in our life that may be struggling right now.

And maybe what they need more than anything else is to be reminded to look at themselves the way that we see them, through the lens of accomplishment, and with the eyes of renewed hope. Do you know anyone like that? I would love to hear your story at mnorton@tramazing.com, and when we can help people to see in themselves what we all see, 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.

Retirement costs of helping adult children

any families are still working through the negative impact that COVID-19 had on their pocketbook.

One of the biggest challenges is helping other family members, namely parents and adult children.

If you are part of the sandwich generation where you may be supporting three generations, then hard economic times may impact you three times harder than some.

As far as adult children who may have been out of the house before COVID took away jobs or housing, they may now be back bunking with you. Even if they are living in their own place, if you continue to pay for cell phones, car insurance and health insurance, it could greatly rob you of your own retirement plans.

It is common for many families to keep kids on the family cell phone package and car insurance coverage. Many families are also torn about replacing health insurance if their kids lost a job or their benefits were reduced.

According to a recent poll, 79% of parents admit to helping their adult children to pay living expenses or reduce debt.¹ Some parents paid off student loans, helped with rent and cars as well as helped to reduce their adult child’s other debts.

Small expenses also add up, and you may not realize how much. Paying a cell phone bill of $60 a month for five years could cost you over $14,000 in retirement savings based on a 6% annual rate and being 22 years from retirement.² Larger expenses, such as paying rent for three years, could slash your nest egg by almost $50,000, assuming a monthly rental assistance of $400.² Big-ticket items can be devastating if you need to help cover expenses for five years and even borrow

money for college.

This could hit you for $227,000 in retirement savings over time, according to Today’s Families Consumer Survey.

This becomes a vicious cycle as more parents could become a burden to their child later on, Patricia Kummer especially if they had to fork out savings just prior to retirement. Half of parents financially helping their adult children say it is putting retirement savings at risk, according to Bankrate. This could reduce funds set aside for retirement or even reduce the ability to continue to save at the same rate.

The closer the parents are to retirement age, when they can’t replenish savings with earnings, the more difficult it is to recover.

Lack of health care is one of the major contributors to unforeseen expenses and even bankruptcy. While it is impossible to plan for a situation with job loss, housing shortages and skyrocketing health care again, any proper financial planning could improve planning for emergencies.

First work on keeping expenses within 80% of your income. This will help cushion those unexpected expenses and hopefully keep you on track for your own goals. Next, meet with your financial advisor and devise a plan to help family members without annihilating your own retirement.

Preheating ovens for Thanksgiving Alpine Pastries gears up for holiday demand

BY OLIVIA JEWELL LOVE OLOVE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Twenty-hour days, nearly sleep-

less nights: This is what the twoperson crew at Alpine Pastries is expecting come Thanksgiving.

Spouses Robert and Becky Kelty have owned Alpine Pastries since 1995, and this time of year the pair is prepping for holiday orders, offering nine types of pies, plus cakes, cookies, tortes and pastries.

IF YOU GO Alpine Pastries is located in the Evergreen Mountain Village lower, creek side level along Bear Creek. 4602 Plettner Lane, unit 1-ABC Evergreen, CO 80439 Call ahead to place orders at 303-6742120 “The day prior to Thanksgiving is the busiest day of the year for us,” Robert said.

The shop sets a cutoff date around Nov. 19, so they have time to bake.

The husband and wife are the only bakers, and the only other help in their shop is their 27-year-old son.

Becky says while the crazy hours can be stressful, they are glad to be busy.

According to Robert, doing things by hand makes a difference.

“Everything here is hand rolled, hand cut and hand prepared,” he said.

That goes for the Thanksgiving staple, pumpkin pie, as well. Alpine Pastries’ trick for a perfect pumpkin pie? Skip the cloves.

“The key to a good pie is a good crust,” Robert revealed.

Kittredge resident Fred Kloepper has been patronizing Alpine Pastries for nearly five years. This trip, he bought a box of treats to share at a meeting, including gingerbread and dinosaur cookies.

“I keep coming back because it’s really good stuff,” he said.

Becky says the relationship with her customers is one of the best parts about owning this business, especially the conversations they have in the shop. In addition, having her creations be a part of people’s special days is also important.

“We love our customers, some we’ve had for 25, 26 years,” she said.

“We are a part of a whole bunch of families and their celebrations.”

King-Murphy playground nears completion Second-graders help during groundbreaking ceremony

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

King-Murphy’s second graders were digging up the dirt in their playground.

They donned hard hats and grabbed shovels on Nov. 8 to break ground for the last section of their new playground. They put their backs into digging the six spots that will be the posts for the new swings, slide and climbing apparatus while other students watched from the newly installed artificial turf.

Once the second graders had their safety gear and shovels, Tim Ryan, owner of Arrow-J Landscaping, asked them: “Are you guys ready to dig?” to a resounding yes. He then reminded them they needed to be very safe when they were working, which was complete in about 10 minutes.

Students said it wasn’t easy to dig the holes because there were so many rocks. Second graders Emily Griego, Adelaide Toth and Owen Holing called the digging fun, but kind of hard, and they agreed it would be great to have a full playground to play on again.

Arrow-J Landscaping Project Manager Dan Simmons told students that concrete from 11 trucks was used to build the walls and steps for the playground.

Second graders Sally Manwarren, Owen Holing, Etta Augustine, Emma Munro, Anastasia Tisdell and Sylvan Snyder look at plans for PHOTO BY DEB HURLEY BROBST their new playground at King-Murphy Elementary School.

the new play equipment, Simmons said. Now that the equipment has arrived, the playground should be ready for children to swing, climb, slide and laugh by Thanksgiving.

The playground overhaul was paid for in large part as part of a $5 million bond approved by Clear Creek voters in 2018. Clear Creek School District officials had hoped the retaining wall that holds up the playground would not need to be replaced, but that wasn’t the case.

Instead, the entire wall was rebuilt, a new drainage system

installed and stairways added so children can get to the upper-level playground from the building’s lower level.

The total price tag is $988,000, with $189,000 coming from a BEST — Building Excellence Schools Today — grant. Of the $988,000, about $386,000 paid for the new retaining wall.

According to Clear Creek Superintendent Karen Quanbeck, the district was able to spend that much money on the playground thanks to grants, and in-kind and monetary donations that could be used for other items in the bond.

Giving Thanks Area residents talk about their gratitude for their families, friends, school — and simply being alive Clockwise from top left: seniors at STEM School Highlands Ranch, third graders at King-Murphy Elementary School in Clear Creek County, Scott Shields and Katherine Lawson at Family Tree nonprofit based in Wheat Ridge, students and principal Wendy Noel at Two Roads charter school in Arvada, workers and guests at the Golden Visitors Center and residents at Elk Run Assisted PHOTOS BY DEB HURLEY BROBST Living in Evergreen.

Whether it’s simply giving thanks or the Thanksgiving holiday, gratitude has special meaning this time of year.

No matter what their age, area residents are thankful for everything from family and friends to having a roof over their heads to enjoying life.

“Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance.”

Eckhart Tolle Gratitude is important for everyone, according to Heather Aberg of Evergreen, the founder of Resilience1220, an organization that provides counseling to teens.

“I would encourage people in our world today to make that a real cornerstone of their focus,” Aberg said.

“Gratitude allows us to grow, adapt

and change.”

She noted that people, especially during the pandemic, focused on the negative, when there are things to be thankful for. It’s important to count blessings in life, she said.

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough and more.”

Melody Beattie No one knows more about gratitude than those living at Elk Run Assisted Living in Evergreen, where residents happily talk about the good things in their lives. They sat in the lobby to discuss what they were thankful for, and it had nothing to do with possession and everything to do with family and friends — and still being alive.

“I thank God every day that I’m on this side of dirt,” said Bettie Lynn Walden, who believes in making

others laugh every day, “and I have a place to live on this side of dirt.”

Her friends laughed and agreed with her sentiment.

Resident Steve Kurland added that he was thankful for having a place like Elk Run to live and having family close by who visit. Several residents added that they were thankful for their families, especially their grandchildren.

“Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.”

Oprah Winfrey At the West Metro Chamber of Commerce based in Lakewood, Erin Acheson was optimistic that small businesses and nonprofits were recovering after closures during the pandemic, and personally, she was thankful for

and the story of

her new job as the chamber’s director of member engagement. She called the position a new opportunity both personally and professionally after months during the pandemic when she didn’t work.

Volunteers and patrons at the Golden Visitors Center said they were grateful for their health, the beautiful fall weather and the opportunity to live in a wonderful place like Golden.

“I love working here,” said Ron Bettinger, who is a Golden native. “I get to meet all kinds of people from all over the county and the world.”

Charlene Pazar, a 55-year Golden resident, is thankful for dance, even when dance groups have met while wearing masks and practicing social distancing.

THANKS FROM PAGE 14

At the Wheat Ridge headquarters of Family Tree, a nonprofit that helps combat homelessness, child abuse and domestic violence, both the executive director and chief development officer were thankful to serve the community and grateful for the support they have received to achieve Family Tree’s mission.

“I’ve had the privilege to serve in this role and in the community,” Executive Director Scott Shields said, with Chief Development Officer Katherine Lawson adding that the volunteers, donors and the community have been phenomenal in helping the nonprofit’s clients.

“This is a wonderful day. I have never seen this one before.”

Maya Angelou Third graders at King-Murphy Elementary School in Clear Creek County agreed they were thankful for typical things such as family, friends and pets. Third grader Edith said she was thankful for her home, food and all the things her family has, while Alice added that she is grateful for everything her family does for her, plus her house and Halloween.

Some of the students were thankful for something not-so-typical: being back in school with their friends.

Drew and Paityn were happy they were no longer learning remotely.

Likewise, middle schoolers at Two Roads Charter School in Arvada were especially thankful for their school, where they said the teachers took a special interest in them and where extracurricular programs including

sports were available.

“This school really inspires me,” said seventh grader Devon Fallis.

“There are a lot of nice people here.”

Seventh grader Leila Evanetich said she felt she has help in both her education and mental health, making her feel like she’s not alone.

In addition, high school students at STEM School Highlands Ranch were thankful for the community at the school, helping them navigate their education and prepare for college.

Senior Isabelle McCall said she was grateful for the teachers who put so much effort into classes and extracurricular activities, working to make students feel safe so they can learn.

Senior Sarah Braunschweig added that her amazing friends have supported her through school, college selection and her life.

“When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself.”

Tecumseh Twins Mischa and Zoe Dvoretsky, both STEM School juniors, said in unison that they were grateful for each other. They also are thankful for their family and friends who have been strong support groups.

“If it wasn’t for my friends and family, I wouldn’t be the person I am today,” Zoe said.

Mischa was more philosophical, noting that people should appreciate that they get up every day, and they have the ability to do what may seem like mundane activities.

“Not everyone gets that opportunity,” she said. “People should realize what they have. They get to breathe fresh air and enjoy every day with the people they love.”

was on board.

“Anything that would benefit animals, I’m all for,” she said.

Lacy Cook, programs director at IMHS, says help at this time of year is greatly appreciated.

“Once it starts snowing, our adoptions go down,” she said. “It’s our biggest time of year for needing to bring in major donations to set us up for the springtime.”

Cook says she believes this is the first time IMHS has paired up with an art gallery, but the organization

often fosters collaboration within the community.

“We’re really trying to get the local businesses and get the people to come back to the businesses and get people to help the animals while they’re doing it,” she said.

Money is the best and most useful donation the humane society accepts, but it also accepts food donations and kitten products seasonally.

Volunteering at the shelter or IMHS’ thrift store is also helpful this time of year.

To bid on artwork in the silent auction, stop by the gallery, 57 Main St., Bailey, between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. Thursday through Tuesday.

Bids may be placed through Nov. 30.

MILESTONES Evergreen Christian Outreach has for many years offered firewood to clients, and group of volunteers has worked to process wood brought to EChO by LAM Tree Service.

The wood is cut, split, stacked and stored for distribution, and EChO clients use it exclusively to heat homes or to help reduce heating bills. Seventy-five families

took advantage of the firewood in the last year. Volunteers processed 42 cords of wood, and to thank them for their efforts, EChO presented each with a red “lumberjack” shirt. The volunteers are Mike Wells, Holly and Allen Richardson, Jay Tierney, Greg, Connor, Matthew Culligan, and Joe and Brayden O’Connor.

Evergreen football’s post season ends in the first round Durango hands Cougars a 56-3 defeat

BY CODY OLIVAS DURANGO HERALD

The Durango High School football team scored early and often Saturday against Evergreen in the first round of the Class 3A state championship playoffs.

Durango led the Cougars 42-3 at halftime, scored on its first possession after the break to enact the running clock mercy rule and then chewed up most of the fourth quarter with a 13-play scoring drive.

The Demons ended up winning the playoff game 56-3 on their home field to advance to the quarterfinals.

“We did what we have been doing at home,” said DHS head coach Todd Casebier.

On Evergreen’s first possession, AJ Folk made a tackle for a loss and on third down Walter Stauffer sacked Evergreen’s quarterback to force EHS to punt.

DHS quarterback Tyler Harms rumbled 25 yards on the team’s first play. Six plays later, Zach Haber rushed to the outside, got a block down the field from Tagert Bardin and ran into the end zone at the 7:52 mark. Sam Carozza’s kick put DHS up 7-0 and he finished the day 8-for-8 on extra points.

Evergreen completed a 10-yard pass for a first down on the ensuing drive but fumbled on the next play, and Stauffer recovered it for DHS at Evergreen’s 36.

Two plays later, Jordan Stanley ran up the middle and raced 32 yards for another touchdown.

The Cougars found some success with screen passes and put together SEE FOOTBALL, P20

Cole Matava and Stanley made a tackle for a loss, Chase Roberston broke up a pass and then Stauffer helped make another stop for a 3-yard loss, forcing Evergreen to settle for a 27-yard field

The field goal, however, lit a spark under Durango, and the Demons scored three touchdowns in the next three minutes.

Durango then forced a fumble and Matava picked it up and returned it to Evergreen’s 13. Stanley picked up 12 yards on the next play and then Jeric Baruch scored on a 1-yard run.

Haber then rushed for 29 yards to get into Evergreen’s red zone and scored two plays later on a 14-yard run, givingDurangoa 35-3 lead with 5:03 left in the half.

A pass interference call gave Evergreen a first down at Durango’s 44-yard line. On the next play, William Knight hit Poholsky just as he was throwing the ball. Roberston intercepted the pass and returned it roughly 60 yards for another Demon touchdown.

“I thought our defense was outstanding against a very good offense,” Casebier said.

Leading 42-3 to start the second half, DHS enacted the running clock when Haber scored on a 30-yard run at the 10:20 mark in the third quarter.

The Cougars put together a 14-play drive after that, successfully going for it twice on fourth downs, but the drive ended with an incomplete pass at Durango’s 44. Junior GarciaRodriguez also sacked Poholsky and Matava made a tackle for a loss on the drive.

Colorado Mountain Club continues its climb More than 100 years of conservation, education and recreation

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The mountains, so ever-present and prominent to the west of the metro area, can be both inviting and imposing. But for anyone wanting to know more about all they have to offer, there is a place where generations of mountainward adventurers have gone — the Colorado Mountain Club.

Wilderness trekking, backpacking, winter camping or backcountry skiing, the CMC, established in 1912, can help natives or new arrivals navigate almost any Colorado outdoor adventure they can think of.

No matter the season, Colorado’s mountains are immense natural

magnets for many who call the state home. Fostering that love of the outdoors, the CMC offers its members classes, events, camps, seminars and more.

It’s also a nonprofit organization working toward conservation and responsible stewardship of what many consider the state’s most valuable resource — open space.

Its mission statement evokes memories of early pioneers of the state, while at the same time, feeling as relevant and current as can be: “To unite the energy, interest and knowledge of the students, explorers and lovers of the mountains of Colorado; Collect and disseminate information regarding the Rocky Mountains on behalf of science, literature, art and recreation; Stimulate public interest in our mountain area; Encourage the preservation of forests, flowers, fauna and natural scenery, and render readily accessible the alpine attractions of this region.”

The club is open to folks of all ages, but Claire Joseph, CMC’s membership services coordinator, said introducing children to the wonders of the mountains is a priority.

“We do camps all year-round,” she said. “But one thing we typically do every year are summer camps for kids from first grade through senior year of high school.”

Joseph said aside from camps, CMC offers schools a chance to do field trips at its facilities.

“We recently just had a bunch of fifth-grade groups come and learn about climbing and use our rock wall,” she said. “There’s also a museum in our building where they can learn about mountaineering and the history of mountain culture.”

Joseph said CMC also offers a huge selection of adult education programs.

“We are a leader in Wilderness First Aid and Wilderness First Responder programs, which offer

nationally recognized certifications,” she said. “There’s also a Wilderness Trekking School — an intro-level course teaching students the basics of things like map and compass use, knot tying and a bit of avalanche awareness.”

CMC also teaches AIARE (American Institute for Avalanche Research and Education) certification courses, required for certain ski and backcountry jobs. But it’s not all serious business for adults.

CMC’s winter offerings include courses in backcountry skiing, split boarding (a form of snowboarding) and a ski mountaineering school.

“We also sell books, with more than 68 titles published in-house,” Joseph said. “We just recently came out with a book on the best bird hikes and a backcountry cookbook, which is very popular.”

CMC offers yearly membership for individuals and families for a fee. You can learn more about the Colorado Mountain Club by visiting cmc.org.

The Inter-Canyon, Elk Creek, Indian Hills and North Fork fire departments are awaiting the results of a consultant’s study on whether the four should consolidate into one large district.

The Burning Mountains Fire Protection District and the Rifle Fire Protection District recently consolidated, so they can talk about the pros, cons and lessons learned, Fire Chief Skip Shirlaw told the Inter-Canyon fire board at its Nov. 10 meeting.

Shirlaw estimated that the 285 Corridor fire departments should have the final report by the end of November, and the chiefs would share the results with their fire boards, staffs and the public.

injured hiker in a remote area. During a structure fire, a drone could watch for embers that get away and start spot fires.

Mandl said he and other firefighters would take classes and develop a game plan to create a drone program. He hoped that grants plus Inter-Canyon and Elk Creek sharing the cost would keep the cost manageable for each department.

285 Corridor CWPP results Residents in the 285 Corridor: Mark your calendars for 6:30 p.m.

Tuesday, Dec. 7.

That is when the Inter-Canyon and Elk Creek fire departments will host a meeting to present the results of a joint Community Wildfire Protection Plan. The meeting will be at West Jefferson Middle School.

The CWPP includes a wildfire risk analysis, mitigation implementation plans for the entire area encompassed by the two departments plus individual areas.

3 depts. to do community paramedicine Evergreen Fire/Rescue, InterCanyon Fire and the Clear Creek County EMS are combining their resources to provide in-home medical care to residents who need it.

Inter-Canyon and Clear Creek will emulate Evergreen’s community paramedicine program, according to Evergreen Fire Chief Mike Weege. Evergreen’s program has been operating for several years.

The goal of the program is to help

fulfill smaller medical needs such as checking blood pressure, giving EKGs and taking blood samples so the person — usually a senior citizen — doesn’t need a doctor visit or an ambulance. The community paramedics look for clues and ask questions to make sure the senior is healthy.

The program prevents people from falling, over- or under- medicating, and not seeking the resources or medical care they need.

Weege assured the board at its Nov. 9 meeting that Evergreen paramedics would not be caring for patients outside the fire district. Instead, the three departments would work together to make sure paramedics from the correct department are helping patients.

“It’s simply power in numbers, power in size,” Weege said. “I’m optimistic that it will get multiple hospitals’ attention knowing there’s a large community paramedicine program in the mountain area.”

Inter-Canyon loses board member The Inter-Canyon fire board said goodbye to longtime board member Karl Firor, who has served on the board for about a decade, most of the time as treasurer. Firor has moved out of the fire district.

Jackie White has been appointed to the board to fill his position, and she will take the oath of office at the December board meeting.

“If it weren’t for Karl with his experience and expertise, we wouldn’t be where we are today,” Fire Chief Skip Shirlaw said at the Nov. 10 board meeting. “I can’t thank you enough, not only for what you have done for me, but also for the district and this area. You have set the tone for what a fire department should look like.”

Accessing Colorado How different resources are making the outdoors accessible to people with disabilities

BY OLIVIA JEWELL LOVE OLOVE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When looking to get outside and make memories with friends and family, disability should not be something that limits someone experiencing the outdoors.

Check out examples of accessibility in Colorado that make the outdoors available for people with disabilities.

Getting there When trying to choose an activity, navigating parks and outdoor spaces can be overwhelming for people with disabilities. From knowing where accessible trailheads are, to knowing where to park, there can be uncertainties in getting started. Ashley Lyn Olson, who started wheelchairtraveling.com, aims to make that experience easier.

Growing up as someone who loved hiking and camping, Olson did not let her paralysis at 14 stop her from experiencing the outdoors.

“I started the website in 2006. The mission is to empower people with limited mobility, their friends and loved ones. “ Her international site features city and park guides, hotel reviews, plane tips, tour companies and adaptive activities. She has the voices of more than 300 writers on the site.

Her goal? Share her travel experience, and let others share theirs, all in hopes that it makes traveling to that location easier for the next person.

Olson doesn’t always follow the “accessible” path though. Checking out things on her own, she has tried many trails that do not boast accessibility, but she thought looked flat enough for her chair. This way she opens up more options for people in the future who check out her site.

Not every path she tries ends up being chair-friendly.

“I’ve definitely got myself into jams,” she said. Olson explained how

she has ended up with her wheels stuck, falling out of her chair, even losing a shoe. But her love of adventure propels her forward.

Local opportunity Staunton State Park near Pine started its track chair program in 2017, which allows people with limited mobility the freedom to explore trails of the park. Track chairs are all-terrain wheelchairs.

The program currently has four chairs, with another one on the way, and recently gave one to Barr Lake State Park near Brighton. Track chair program manager Natalie BurnsideBostow says this chair hand-off was an important step in the program’s mission of accessibility.

“One of our biggest goals is to continue to see our program spread to other parts (of Colorado), and to see other parts of Colorado build these types of programs,” Burnside-Bostow said.

The program at Staunton sees people of all ages and all ability levels.

“We get everything. Last weekend I had a 2-year-old, the week before that I had someone that it was their 91st birthday,” Burnside-Bostow said.

Most importantly, the program looks to break down barriers that many people with disabilities face in accessing the outdoors.

In working with this program, Burnside-Bostow explains that while there may be perceived roadblocks, “No matter what the activity, there is a way to adapt the activity so everyone can participate.”

The National Sports Center for the Disabled is an organization based in Denver that offers outdoor experiences across Colorado for people with disabilities.

During their fall/winter season, the NSCD offers rock climbing, hiking/ snowshoeing, adaptive alpine and cross-country skiing, shooting sports and more.

Kim Easton, the CEO for the NSCD, says that the programs the organization offers keeps people coming back.

“The majority of our individuals, once they find us and try something…..they kind of get hooked.”

The NSCD is powered by volunteers that share their passion for sports and outdoors. The organization is coming

Moving forward The Outdoor Equity Grant Program, established by Colorado House Bill 21-1318, wants to “increase access and opportunity for underserved youth and their families to experience Colorado’s open spaces, state parks, public lands, and other outdoor areas,” according to the program’s website.

This program could prove instrumental in helping disabled youths be able to experience the outdoors in Colorado.

The grant coalition is made up of board members, including youth seats. Maestas said he sees the importance of young people being able to have access to the outdoors in a geographically diverse state.

“And to live in one of the most beautiful states and never get to experience anything is a crime, I think,” Maestas said.

Did you know that any child living in our mountain area from birth to age 5 has access to FREE BOOKS? Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library program is a “Gift of Early Literacy’’ for any child in our Front Range Mountain Area. This gift of early literacy is accomplished through the Imagination Library’s “book gifting” program which mails books to children from birth to age five in our participating communities. Every month each child receives their special book which encourages families to spend time together reading.

The program is sponsored by our local Mountain Area Rotary Clubs.

To register a child for this program, please go to imaginationlibrary.com The Evergreen Rotarians come from diverse backgrounds and various careers. We strive to improve societies by utilizing the talents and experiences of our members.

Visit us at www.evergreenrotary.org We invite you to join our club’s weekly meetings on Friday mornings. Please email info@evergreenrotary.org
