Lo Hunter, who led Evergreen to nine state titles, dies at 89

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Lo Hunter was a force of nature.

The woman who coached the Evergreen volleyball team to nine state championships from 1976 to 1985 was ahead of her time, accord-

ing to some of her players, as she fought for girls high school sports and instilled a winning attitude in her players.

“She had an insight into how to win and how to push athletes harder that other women coaches or men coaches who coached women’s sports didn’t have,” said Sarah Sweeney, a 1983 EHS graduate.

Laurice Joan “Lo” Hunter died Feb. 25 at the age of 89. The youngest of 12 children, she taught in Kansas and Texas before moving to Colorado, teaching physical educa-

tion and coaching at Evergreen High School from 1971 until she retired in 1995. In addition to volleyball, she coached gymnastics, tennis, track, basketball and golf during her 23-year career at EHS. The multi-time Hall of Famer coached EHS volleyball to a 503-83 record, which included 16 state tournament appearances, a national record 182 consecutive victories from 1978 to 1984, seven undefeated seasons and one 1984 campaign in

A Zamboni parade of sorts took place in Evergreen on March 3.

Traffic backs up on Bergen Parkway as the Zamboni makes its way to Buchanan Park’s PHOTOS BY DEB HURLEY BROBST parks operation office.

ZAMBONI FROM PAGE 1

Heart Cameron, ERPD’s parks operations manager, was the parade marshal of sorts since he was the lucky Zamboni driver, and people honked their horns and waved as the caravan went by. He said it was fun to watch their faces as they real-

ized he was driving a Zamboni down the road. The Zamboni is about the size of a large truck.

It took about an hour to go up Evergreen Parkway, onto Ponderosa Drive and then wind their way through subdivisions, driving in front of Evergreen Middle School and Bergen Meadow Elementary before turning onto Bergen Parkway.

The weather was perfect for this new parade.

Cameron, with his dog Sir Harmon Pickles on his lap, drives to Buchanan Park.

Cameron said he had so much fun that he was walking on sunshine while driving the Zamboni that he calls his baby with his dog, Sir Harmon Pickles, on his lap.

He figures he may have traveled up to 5 mph going down a couple hills, not breaking the speed of a turtle.

“I wasn’t going fast enough to get the wind rolling my hair,” he said, laughing.

After ice skating season closes, the

Zamboni usually is parked in a garage at the lake all summer, but this year, the garage is needed for more boat storage — hence the parade northward.

Alan Gionet with the Active4All Foundation, EPRD’s foundation, keeps saying to keep Evergreen weird, and Cameron figures on March 3, he helped continue advancing that moniker.

Fundraising to help wildlife Woman wants to put bear-resistant trash bins in Kittredge Park

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

An effort is underway to raise money to pay for bear-resistant trash and recycle bins at Kittredge Park.

Emily Nelson, who moved to Kittredge in 2020 with her husband, has started a GoFundMe page to raise $4,000 to pay for two sets of cans.

She is nearly halfway there, and she hopes families who use the park will chip in to help make the park safer for wildlife and patrons alike.

Nelson explained that when she started spending time at the park, she noticed during warm weather, the trash is consistently knocked over.

“I’ve seen (bear-resistant cans) in campgrounds and other places, but I haven’t seen them anywhere else here,” she said.

The Evergreen Park & Recreation District, which manages the park, has not budgeted for bear-resistant cans, but Parks Operations Manager Heart Cameron knows their importance.

Once bears figure out there’s a food source anywhere — in this case the park — they come through all the time for an easy meal. Then the trash strewn on the ground becomes an easy feast for other animals such

According to Colorado Parks & Wildlife, in 20201, people reported 273 bear incidents in Area 1, which includes west Jefferson County plus Park, Clear Creek and Gilpin counties. Of those, 113 were specifically bears getting into trash.

In 2020, 334 incidents were reported, with nearly half having to do with trash, and in 2019, 182 bear incidents were reported with 84 dealing with bears in trash.

Nelson said the money was being collected on the GoFundMe site by the Kittredge Civic Association, which will donate the money to EPRD to buy the trash cans once enough money is donated.

Barb Gertz, who heads up a local group called Bear Aware, said it was important to keep parks safe from bear/human conflict.

“Keeping bears out of parks keeps them from going further into residential areas to get into trash,” she said. “We should have (bearresistant trash cans) in all of our parks because without them, it’s like a buffet for bears every day in the summertime.”

She noted that bear/human inter-

actions needed to be brought under control, and it was up to the community to do it.

“Our responsibility as a commu-

Indian Hills mother-son duo start nonprofit We Help You Help Others delivers furniture to families in need

BY MAYA DAWSON CONIFER HIGH SCHOOL

It started with a desk.

When Indian Hills resident Rachel Osgood and her son, Joseph, were volunteering with the International Rescue Commission, the organization was struggling to find a desk for a family the organization was helping move into a new home.

The Osgoods reached out online to see if anyone in the mountain community had a desk they were willing to donate, and the response was overwhelming. This got the motherson duo thinking.

“It’s a 40-minute drive to the IRC office down in Denver, so it’s really out of the way,” said Joseph, a junior at Lakewood High School. “We thought it could be more convenient to do something up (in the mountains).”

So, WHYHO was born. It stands for We Help You Help Others, and is a budding nonprofit that Rachel and Joseph started a month ago. The organization takes furniture donated by the community and delivers it to the homes of families in need, many of whom are Afghan refugees.

“It really does make me feel great.

You can see that these people are struggling, and they have had their whole lives reset to nothing because of the war,” Osgood said.

A variety of organizations have come together to make this nonprofit possible. Golden Real Estate loans out its moving truck to nonprofits, which enables WHYHO to make large deliveries, and the Osgoods work with the IRC and African Community Center (ACC) to find families in need.

Recently, the Osgoods and a group of friends made their largest furniture delivery yet, with a set of furniture donated by a family in Evergreen. They picked up the furniture, delivered it to an Afghanistan refugee family, and helped the family set it up in their home.

“They’d just gotten settled in Colorado, but they didn’t have any furniture, so they were sleeping on the floor,” Osgood said. “We brought beds and tables and mirrors, every-

thing you need in a house.”

For the Osgoods, this is only the beginning. They are in the process of getting a nonprofit license for their organization, as well as buying a trailer, so they can move furniture more easily and frequently.

“I think volunteering gives teenagers a great perspective on life and allows us to apply our free time and skills,” Joseph said. “I can’t do a whole lot as a high schooler, but I can drive a car, and I can move, and I can manage social media and text people, and that allows me to change people’s lives.”

Joseph encourages others who want to get involved with his organization, or other community service opportunities, to reach out. Those with furniture to donate can contact WHYHO at whyho.evergreen@ gmail.com.

“This has made me more grateful for what I have,” Joseph said.

“Seeing these huge families barely getting by, and having their whole lives reset, really makes me able to appreciate being born here and being well off.”

which the Cougars didn’t drop a game, much less a match.

The 1979 state championship volleyball team was inducted into the Colorado High School Athletic Association Hall of Fame in 2013, and in 2014, EHS named its gymnasium after Hunter, with the celebration including a tribute from about 50 of her former players.

“It was so emotional for me because I didn’t do this. The athletes did it,” Hunter said in 2014 of the celebration. “They just respected each other. They had confidence

in each other. They were not going to go home defeated. And they put Evergreen High School on the map just by Evergreen volleyball. That’s what I’m happy about.”

Tanya Haave, a 1980 EHS graduate, said Hunter’s passion was coaching and helping young women.

“All the lives she’s touched and the women she’s empowered reaches far and wide,” said Haave, who went on to play basketball professionally in Europe and is now the MSU Denver women’s basketball coach. Haave and Hunter remained friends, with Hunter traveling to Europe to watch Haave play basketball and attending MSU Denver games, still coaching a bit from the stands.

Sweeney explained the secret to Hunter’s success as a coach: “I think she pushed us to the point where we had little fear because there were so many repetitions at practice, so by the time we were in a game situation, we were not fearful of a hotshot server because we’ve already seen it all.”

Sweeney also said the Cougars were intimidating in the early 1980s with tall players, and the team had a warmup regimen that made other teams look twice.

“I admired her for what she did for us,” Haave said. “She was not a delicate flower. She would scare the pants off the refs. If they made a call against us, she would give them hell. She was awesome.”

According to Sweeney and Haave, Hunter always had perfectly manicured fingernails, she drove a lavender Cadillac, and she wasn’t the best driver. Haave called Hunter a diamond in the rough. Her coaching style wasn’t for everyone, but many thrived under her tutelage.

Sweeney said that as the statechampionship streak continued, every game was like the championship because no player wanted to be that person to end the legacy.

“Nobody wanted to be the team to lose and break the streak,” Sweeney said. “It was serious.”

Both Sweeney and Haave are grateful for everything Hunter did for them personally and on the court.

“She was so ahead of the game in terms of how she coached,” Sweeney explained. “She figured things out a lot quicker than other coaches.

So many people learned from her and duplicated what she did. She was really a pioneer in that kind of tough coach and tough love way of coaching.”

A look back at nine winning seasons The Canyon Courier chronicled the EHS volleyball team’s success

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As Evergreen volleyball coach Lo Hunter’s team continued to win state championships, the Canyon Courier was there to chronicle them. Here’s a look into the team, Hunter and the unprecedent run with snippets from the stories through the Courier’s lens.

Nov. 17, 1976, the headline read: “Girls state champs; they ‘earned’ it.”

Reporter Keith Warnecke wrote: The EHS girls volleyball team defeated Jeffco arch-rival Arvada West 15-10, 15-13 Saturday night at Highland to capture the state championship, the first one ever for an Evergreen girls team. “’He’s got the Evergreen Cougars in his hands,’” was the theme song the team sang the past two weeks, and the way things went last weekend, it might be very true.

According to coach Lo Hunter, (Mary) Barker’s serving and short spikes were just one of the keys to Evergreen’s success. While Barker was serving, the Cougars scored 36 of the team’s 112 points in the tournament.

The girls compiled A 20-2 season record and are 48-3 since their sophomore year and as Hunter said, “They didn’t win state, they earned it.”

Nov. 15, 1978, the headline read: ‘Spikers ’78 state champions” Reporter Debbie Simpson wrote: They’re the best – the very best – in the state, but the last to admit it was their coach.

“All through the season, I never let them know they were good,” Evergreen High School volleyball coach Lo Hunter said in a Monday recognition assembly at the high school honoring her team’s second state championship in three years.

“But I’ll have to admit, even though it chokes me up, they are excellent.

They’re the best female athletes this school has ever had.”

They’re state champions now, but for the Cougars, the breaking point came Saturday afternoon during the state semifinals at Highland High School in Thornton.

Evergreen had won one and lost one against Harrison (High School), the South Central League champ, in the semifinals. The score in the deciding third game was 5-0 — in Harrison’s favor.

That’s when a determined Sue Hays took over the serve for the Cougars and teammate Tanya Haave slammed a spike to the floor to score Evergreen’s first point of the game.

Nov. 21, 1979, the headline read: “EHS Cougars take it all, No. 1” Reporter Ron Peck wrote: Three’s the charm.

State volleyball powerhouse Evergreen has collected back-to-back championships, after coasting past four different opponents en route to Saturday night’s final victory over Mitchell, 15-9, 15-10.

In the final match against the Marauders, a crowd of more than

2, 250 fans witnessed seven reasons why Evergreen remains the kingpin in Colorado volleyball.

“Colorado may never see another team like this again,” said Evergreen coach Lo Hunter. “There are seven seniors on this team, and last year they decided they wanted to win back-to-back championships — they went out and did it.”

And the Cougars did it in style, starting with Tanya Haave’s deadly hitting; she pounded Mitchell for seven kills and four stuffs.

Nov. 12, 1980, the headline read: “Evergreen Cougars capture fourth title” Reporter Ron Peck wrote: In the end, there weren’t any dreams or miracles left.

Just sheer “guts and skill” that catapulted Evergreen to its fourth Class AAA volleyball championship in five years.

The Cougars proved it over and over again during the state volleyball tournament held in Colorado Springs, much to the amazement of their fans, opponents and especially to their coach, Lo Hunter.

“I still can’t believe it,” said Hunter, referring to the 12 young ladies who started the season with no varsity experience. They went on to defy all odds by winning the state championship and keeping an SEE HISTORY, P14

Pump prices…what’s up?

M

y beloved little car and I are aging together. I still love it, and one reason is because it gets great mileage. Yesterday I paid $3.37 a gallon for gas. I looked it up, and a year ago the price was $2.25. That is a 49% difference. The price of crude oil then was $62.33 vs. $95.82 yesterday. That’s a 52% difference and the ratios are similar, so it should be clear why the price is so much higher.

JIM ROHRER

Columnist

The question, which I have been researching, is how did such a big change occur?

What I learned is that the oil market is a supply and demand driven global market and that is what determines the price we pay for gas. It is

complicated. Supply and demand is affected by political decisions made all over the world. Transportation costs, weather, capital spending by oil producers and many other factors all affect the price. As it turns out, today’s gas prices are as much a function of financial decisions made on Wall Street as those made in Washington.

One story is that the previous administration had our country

in an energy independent mode, but the Biden administration hates the oil industry and has caused us to again be dependent.

If only things were so simple!

My research, which includes a comprehensive study called “The Monthly Labor Review” by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and another by Forbes, should help explain how we got such a SEE ROHRER, P9

The biggest problem in Colorado politics

D

id it ever occur to you that the biggest problem in Colorado politics is that only one of our members of Congress is a national laughingstock? I hadn’t either, but State Representative Dave Williams, a Colorado Springs Republican who is challenging incumbent eightterm Congressman Doug Lamborn for the Republican nomination to represent Colorado’s Fifth Congressional District, seems to have come to that conclusion.

The title of a fundraising email he sent last month was “Lauren Boebert Republican for CD5?” In the text of the email, in bold underlined letters he said, “Our congressional district deserves another Lauren Boebert, Jim Jordan, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Madison Cawthorn representing us in the halls of Congress.”

GREG ROMBERG

There are a lot of things for people of all political stripes to find offensive about how Lamborn has done his job over the last 16 years, but not behaving in a way that reflects on our state as badly as Boebert has shouldn’t be one Columnist of them.

Boebert may have hit a new alltime low last week when she heckled the President of the United States during the State of the Union address while he was saying that we should protect members of our military from carcinogenic dangers and then using the criticism she received for her boorish behavior for fund raising purposes.

Williams’ desire to be like Boebert

is out of line, but it has impacted Lamborn’s reelection strategy. Instead of pursuing another term by seeking support of rank-and-file Republicans through the caucus and assembly process, Lamborn has secured a place on the Republican primary ballot by submitting petitions to the Secretary of State.

Given the thoughts and beliefs of most people who live in Colorado’s Fifth Congressional District, their member of Congress should have a more conservative philosophy than I would suggest. But we deserve elected officials who understand and observe an appropriate level of decorum instead of behaving in ways that would get a seventh grader suspended from school.

While it’s often hard to understand which side deserves our support in labor disputes, baseball owners were wrong to lock out players and put the

baseball season on hold. To lock out the players in December and then do nothing to begin negotiations in a time frame that allowed any possibility to reach a new agreement in time for the new season showed a lack of good faith not only to players but to fans as well. Hopefully they’ll get something done before we conclude we don’t miss them.

And while I’m talking about sports, wouldn’t it be nice if Comcast got Avalanche and Nuggets’ games back on our TVs? The Avalanche are in the having a historically successful season and most Coloradans have no way to see it.

Greg Romberg had a long career in state and local government and in government relations. He represented corporate, government and trade association clients before federal, state and local governments. He lives in Evergreen with his wife, Laurie.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR In response to Mr. Marshall and Ms. Mauz This is in answer to a Feb. 10 letter to the editor by Mr. Marshall, and a community voices column the week before that by Ms. Mauz. Ms. Mauz was dead-on. Another mini-mall is not necessary, and I don’t think it would be productive. It would feature over-crowding, light pollution, and traffic problems along with the unsuitable four-story hotel, convenience store, firehouse and gas station – all on 2.5 acres.

Parking? Where? This so-called ‘Gateway’ is already in existence – it’s called Bergen Park, and it’s much more sensibly developed, but even there we get parking problems. We already have two hotels 800 yards from one another, and both close to Evergreen Parkway. Why another hotel with the associated water problems? As to a new firehouse – it’s alluring, but would be the source of many problems if situated there. As an ex-member with 13 years in the Foothills Fire Dept., I know the lure of new facilities and equipment. The firehouse will come – maybe a little more slowly than the Chief wants – and the cost to our community will not be disastrous. What if there were a fire on Rainbow Hill or Summit Ranch and we couldn’t evacuate because of the clump of buildings? If a new firehouse is needed, it could be put where the eye-sore saloon is now, with more convenient access. We have a gateway to the gateway already with Swede Gulch. This phony new gateway helps nobody besides the developer.

the judicial systems? PeaceWorks Inc is devastated to learn about the senseless and tragic death of Michele Scott by her ex-boyfriend, Wayne Lotz, in early February. It was reported via a Civic Alert by the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office on Feb. 16 that there was a history involving numerous calls regarding domestic violence at Michele Scott’s home involving Lotz, a convicted felon. It appears by the Feb. 17 report in the Canyon Courier entitled “Conifer man arrested in connection with death of ex-girlfriend” that Lotz was a known person to law enforcement.

As Conifer’s and mountain Jeffco’s only agency serving victims and survivors of domestic and intimate partner violence/abuse, sexual assault, stalking, teen dating violence and sex trafficking, we see this same pattern time and time again. Every day, dangerous people harass, emotionally abuse, financially abuse, manipulate, stalk and physically abuse intimate partners – people they supposedly love. Did you realize that domestic violence accounts for ~20% of violence crime (Bureau of Justice Statistics), and that research has shown that it takes on average seven attempts before a survivor permanently leaves an abusive partner?

One in three women and one in four men in the United States have experienced some form of physical violence by an intimate partner (National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey). If you think you are experiencing intimate partner and/or sexual violence, do not hesitate to reach out to one of your local nonprofit or confidential agencies. You can reach PeaceWorks Inc 24/7 via voice/text at 303-838-8181.

PeaceWorks Inc is based in both Conifer and Bailey.

dramatic rise in gasoline prices.

In January of 2020, the COVIDrelated business slowdown in China caused a decrease of 3 million barrels per day, or 20% of that country’s overall oil consumption. The U.S. followed the decreases in demand as business here was affected as well. So, the two largest economies in the world both experienced dramatic decreases in demand for oil products. The Saudis, the second largest oil producer behind the U.S. convinced fellow OPEC members to make significant production cuts Russia didn’t reduce production, hoping to increase its market share. By April, the Saudis raised their production levels.

Obviously, they underestimated the serious effect of the pandem-ic. Because of the large mismatch between supply and demand and diminished storage space, the price tanked. By April 20th, crude petroleum traded at a negative price in the intraday futures market. (The price of storage was higher than the cost of oil.) As the pandemic has worn on, the oil producers have become much more successful in regulating production so that it stayed relatively constant with demand.

At the end of 2020, the oil price was at $39.68 per barrel and world oil production had decreased 23%.

-Note that this decrease in production occurred quickly. The low oil prices made oil production nearly unprofitable, and the pandemic was making the probability of increased demand unlikely.

Many oil companies were highly leveraged and over 100 declared bankruptcies, while other shuttered operations. This was on top of the reduction in drilling and exploration after the great recession. Finding eager investors was difficult. The net result of all these factors led to not only production reductions, but also -a substantial reduction in the

capacity to produce oil products.

The 2021 rebound took suppliers by surprise. Even OPEC has struggled to raise output due to underinvestment. Of course, with demand rising faster than supply, prices have risen dramatically.

The oil industry and those who are seeking to transform the U.S. into a clean energy nation are certainly at odds. This administration has passed policies that could negatively impact future oil supplies. According to the Forbes study, “thus far the price surge is primarily a result of 3 million barrels per day of oil production that was lost in the spring of 2020 that hasn’t fully recovered.”

Whether we have oil independence depends how independence is defined, as we still import foreign oil. However, the move to not being dependent on foreign oil producers began in2010. Hydraulic fracking was beginning to make a difference.

The United States has become the world’s largest oil producer at nearly 13 million barrels per day.The five-year average production between 2010 and 2014 rose 32% over the previous five-year period. Then, between 2015 and 2019 it rose again, this time 49%.

As with many business successes, it is not particularly important who is living in the White House.

Our relative independence has happened because of the industry’s productivity improvement, not politics. As a post note, if we decide to stop importing Russian oil, and that move increases gas prices, that would be a small inconvenience. Since I began researching this, my wonderful car has entered the car hospital in critical condition. I’m praying she can be healed. We have places to go and people to meet.

Most special districts conducting elections May 3

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Voters in the foothills will be busy on May 3 since most special districts are having in-person elections.

Voters will be asked to travel to specific polling places to cast their votes for area fire districts, water districts and the Evergreen recreation district boards of directors.

Polling places will be open from 7 a.m.-7 p.m.

In all of the contested elections, the candidate or candidates getting the most votes will win the election.

For example, in the Evergreen Park & Recreation District, of the eight candidates, the three with the most votes will join the board.

There will be no elections in the West Jefferson and Kittredge water districts and the Indian Hills Fire District because the number of self-nominees equals the number of

open seats.

J. Kelly Garrod and Robert Zavodsky will remain on the West Jefferson County Metro District board. Kenneth Juliano, Gregory Goulding and Russett Craig-Goulding will serve on the Kittredge Sanitation and Water District board.

Incumbents Marc Rosenberg, Kelley Lehman and Christopher Vigil will continue to serve on the Indian Hills Fire District board.

Here is a compilation of the people running for election: Evergreen Park & Recreation District Three positions on the board are up for election, and the three current board members in those seats are term-limited, so the composition of the five-member board will change dramatically after the election.

The eight people running for the positions are: Al Buenning, Chris Lewis, James S. Beck, Peter Eggers,

Inter-Canyon Fire Four people are running for three seats on the Inter-Canyon Fire board. Jackie White, who was appointed to the board recently to fill a vacant position, is running along with Natalie Arnett, Ann Imse and Mary Riley.

Mary McGhee, Jeff Shappard, Betsy Hays and Kristin Courington.

Evergreen Fire/Rescue Seven candidates are running for three seats on the Evergreen Fire/ Rescue board, including two incumbents. The incumbents are Mike Gregory and Jeff deDisse. They are being challenged by Kenny Erhardt, Wayne Hazeldine, John Putt, Stacey Ballinger and Julie Ann Courim.

Elk Creek Fire The Elk Creek Fire Protection District has two three-year positions available and one one-year position.

Incumbents Gregory G. Pixley and Melissa L. Baker are being challenged by Joe Wienand for two threeyear terms. The three candidates for the one-year position are Charles Franklin Newby Jr., Dominique Devaney and John Mullan.

Indian Hills Water Carl Frank is challenging incumbents Samantha Kepley, Dave Mosby and Scott Ryplewski for three seats on the Indian Hills Water board.

Evergreen Metro District Challengers Brian StephensHotopp and James Steven Beck will join incumbents James Viellenave, John Ellis and Joseph Frisk on the ballot for three open seats.

SOTA: Groups in Evergreen and Conifer get ready for in-person performances Three unique productions are coming to stages near you in the month of March

BY OLIVIA JEWELL LOVE OLOVE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Local theater groups are gracing the month of March with live performances for everyone to enjoy.

From shorter plays to thrilling musicals, theater buffs will have many shows to attend this month.

Evergreen Players: An Evening of Irish Plays The Evergreen Players are celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with Irish plays and poetry this month.

Director Tal Arnold looks forward to sharing scenes written by Lady Gregory and JM Synge, as well as poetry by William Butler Yeats.

Arnold sees this production as a tribute to the Irish and is excited for the theater to transform into an Irish pub and feature some excitement that you will have to attend to see!

The first act of the night will be Gregory’s “Spreading the News.”

This play shows how a rumor can spread through a community.

“It is a comedy, but it has sort of a social, contemporary commentary to it too,” Arnold said.

Later in the evening the group will perform Synge’s “In the Shadow of

the Glen.” This play is described by Arnold as an allegory about the relationship between the Irish people and the British ruling class.

“I’m hoping they [the audience] enjoy the evening and feel transported into another time and place.

I hope they leave with a sense of independence, empowered to make their own decisions,” Arnold said.

This will be Arnold’s first full production as a director with the Evergreen Players. He has been directing for over five years.

The performances will take place at 7 p.m. March 11, 12, 17 and 18.

Evergreen Players require proof of vaccination for those eligible and masks for those attending performances. Tickets can be purchased at evergreenplayers.org or by calling (720)515-1528.

Conifer High School: “Twisted” Conifer High School is excited to present the story of Aladdin…but this time from the villain’s perspective, in its spring musical “Twisted: The Untold Story of a Royal Vizier.”

After adapting to theater affected

by Covid-19, the group is ready to present their unmasked, in-person performance at the high school.

Performing arts teacher EP Archer is directing the play and is happy to see the experiences their students are getting out of rehearsals.

“Not every kid is going to go to Broadway, but every kid can use

Proponents make case to rename Mount Evans Clear Creek officials to hear public comment March 8

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Proponents for the five official petitions to rename Mount Evans presented their respective cases before the Clear Creek County Board of Commissioners on March 1.

The five petitions are: Mount Cheyenne-Arapaho, Mount Blue Sky, Mount Rosalie, Mount Soule, and Mount Evans but redesignating the namesake as Anne Evans.

The mountain is named for Colorado’s second territorial governor, John Evans, who’s believed to have authorized the Sand Creek Massacre against the Cheyenne and Arapaho people. He was forced to resign in its aftermath.

The commissioners were scheduled to host a public comment session via Zoom at 6 p.m. March 8, and are still accepting written public comment on whether and which petition to support.

The commissioners then plan to make a recommendation to the U.S. Board on Geographic Names at their March 15 meeting.

Clear Creek can register its opinion as: • Opposed to changing the name; • Neutral; • Supportive of a name change; • Supportive of a tribal-based petition but not taking sides; or • Supportive of a specific petition.

There are five official petitions to rename Mount Evans, seen here in December 2020 from Fire Tower Trail along Highway 103. The petitions are: Mount Cheyenne-Arapaho, Mount Blue Sky, Mount Rosalie, Mount Soule, and Mount Evans but redesignating PHOTO BY CORINNE WESTEMAN the namesake as Anne Evans.

The USBGN has final say on whether and which petition to approve, although it’s also looking for input from the state naming advisory board and the U.S. Forest Service.

Mount Cheyenne-Arapaho During the March 1 meeting, Otto Braided Hair, Jr. of the Northern Cheyenne Tribe explained how Mount Cheyenne-Arapaho would honor the tribes that once called Colorado home and that were devastated by the Sand Creek Massacre.

Braided Hair, whose ancestors survived the Sand Creek Massacre, described the intergenerational

trauma among the tribes. The massacre stopped all negotiations and destroyed his ancestors’ hopes of remaining in Colorado, he said, describing how Cheyenne and Arapaho reservations are in Oklahoma, Montana, and Wyoming.

The name Cheyenne-Arapaho is “clear and concise,” he said, and honors the people who were in Colorado before its statehood. With the Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes now divided by designations of north and south, he said the petition would honor then as “one people, one nation.”

“Our ancestors… fought and died

for each other,” Braided Hair said of the Cheyenne and Arapaho. “ t … Those are the nations, those are A the people that you would be honoring. It is long overdue.” c w Mount Blue Sky i Officials from the Oklahoma-based Southern Cheyenne and Arapaho p Tribes described how Mount Blue c h Sky would honor both tribes.

The Arapaho were called the Blue s Sky People, and the Cheyenne have p a religious ceremony called Blue Sky that represents all life through- b out the world and is a blessing, they s described.

M While the name honors both M tribes, Governor Reggie Wassana S said, for the greater population, Blue Sky could mean a lot of things. b He connected it to a sense of clarity s and purity, and the feeling of being E in nature and seeing a blue sky “ overhead.

Fred Mosqueda of the Southern r Arapaho said the current name a brings despair and sorrow to his community, and that the mountain’sM name should be something beautiful “that will make us feel good when a 2 we see (the mountain).”

Chester Whiteman of the South- t i ern Cheyenne commented: “(The name Blue Sky) will continue to bless our people – past generations w b and future generations.” d p Mount Rosalie Mount Rosalie was the name Albert Bierstadt, a landscape painter m SEE MT EVANS, P15

Dear Davis Schilken, I just recently proposed to my girlfriend (now fiancée) and now her parents insist the two of us sign a prenup before we get married. How can I appease my in-laws while still protecting my rights?

Sincerely, Perplexed by a Prenup Dear Perplexed by a Prenup, First off, let us congratulate your fiancée and you on your pending marriage. We hope your wedding day is as amazing as your life together will be!! Now, let’s get down to the business of nuptial agreements, which can either be done prior to or after marriage.

Marital agreements, both prenuptial and postnuptial, are a written contract executed between a couple to specify what will happen to the couple’s assets in the event of divorce or death. Even if you build a happy, healthy marriage, one spouse will likely outlive the other. Marital agreements can give partners peace of mind about the financial future.

When you’re about to get married, divorce is the last thing on your mind. However, the reality is that between 40 and 50 percent of first marriages end in divorce. If you bring significant assets to your marriage or if your fiancée has significant debts, a pre-nuptial agreement is an important way to protect yourself financially. The attorneys at Davis Schilken, PC can draft a prenuptial agreement that details the assets and debts of both parties to be married and explain how property will be divided and support handled in the event of death or divorce. The agreement can encompass children’s and grandparents’ rights, if desired.

There are a few requirements that a nuptial agreement must meet before it becomes valid. These include the following conditions • The nuptial agreement must be written, signed, and notarized.

• The agreement must include valid disclosure of assets and financial obligations between both parties.

• Threats, force, or emotional duress must not have influenced the creation of the agreement.

• Terms of the agreement must not appear unethical or lacking fairness.

If nuptial agreements aren’t drafted correctly, they may do nothing but complicate things further.

Unfortunately, just because you have created an agreement in writing doesn’t mean that it is presumed to be valid or enforceable. Therefore, it’s crucial that you have a nuptial agreement reviewed by a qualified lawyer to ensure everything is executed properly.

Contact our offices for valuable advice on all matters relating to a nuptial agreement. (303) 670-9855.

incredible 76-game winning string intact.

After last year’s graduation of seven players instrumental in the 1978 and 1979 state titles, including superstar Tanya Haave, few people looked to Evergreen for a repeat performance on the state level. Especially Hunter.

“I knew we would be in the top three (teams) in the tournament and certainly No. 1 or 2 in the league, but as I called them all year long, they’re my ‘miracle team,’” she said.

Nov. 11, 1981, the headline read: “You guessed it, spikers win state” Reporter Ron Peck wrote: It was the fifth time the title came north.

And the cheering, singing, slaphappy Cougars brought an infectious disease with them called “winning.”

The Cougar volleyball team brought home its fourth consecutive Class AAA state title, fifth overall, in the seven-year history of girls volleyball on the state level.

The disease, however, isn’t fatal, but it’s rare. The symptoms are 102 consecutive winning matches, seven league titles and five state trophies.

Nov. 10, 1982, the headline read: “Spikers capture sixth state title” Reporter Rod Peck wrote: All the power mustered up by Heritage, Cheyenne Mountain and Mitchell couldn’t stop Evergreen’s thunderous spikers from winning another Class AAA girls state volleyball title

Saturday night.

But they tried anyway.

And the Evergreen team that was supposedly “rebuilding” this season, because a little bit more awesome in the eyes of 4,000 fans who jammed the Olympic Sports Training Center in Colorado Springs to watch this Colorado legend streak to a national record of 126 consecutive match wins after beating Mitchell 15-2, 1510 in the finals.

It was Evergreen’s fifth consecutive state championship, sixth overall in the eight-year history of the girls state tournament.

But the beginning of the story didn’t start Saturday night. It began three months ago when the possible was through improbable.

“We must be doing something right as far as strategy goes,” said Hunter. “I think this group knows themselves maybe better than I do.”

Peck also wrote a column to accompany the 1982 story: After the 1979 “dream” team came the “miracle” team. Then the “rainbows.” Now the “six-shooters.” They were all nicknames christened by a coach who doesn’t believe the words: “It can’t be done.”

Once again, Lo “Houdini” Hunter pulled out what this state might see as the biggest rabbit of the year.

Hunter coached her team to a sixth Class AAA girls state volleyball title Saturday night; running the national winning streak to 126 over a period of five years.

“The hardest thing for me this year was trying to make this team believe they could get beat,” said Hunter, who was searching for a way

to make her girls realize the possible disaster that awaited this oh-so-casual team in the early rounds of the tournament.

Nov. 9, 1983, the headline read: “Seven is heaven for Cougars” Reporter Peter Kostes wrote: Six was just for kicks because seven is heaven.

For the sixth straight year, and seventh time overall, Evergreen High School marched through a state tournament field for another title.

The Cougars’ seven overall titles tie them with a Connecticut team for third place (another Connecticut team is second with eight championships) on the all-time list in that department. An Arizona team leads both lists with 12 consecutive overall state championships.

Nov. 7, 1984, the headline read: “Spikers claim eighth state title” Reporter Mike Phalen wrote: Evergreen volleyball coach Lo Hunter said early this season that the pressure to maintain the Cougars’ winning streak was so great, every game for her team was like playing a state championship final.

Saturday at Coronado High School in Colorado Springs, the Cougar spikers played a real state championship final and did what they have done all season – they won.

Evergreen capture the title at the Colorado State High School Volleyball Championship Tournament with a 15-10, 15-9 victory over Pomona.

Phalen’s column that accompanied the story said in part: Evergreen’s depth is a byproduct of its success. The program attracts

most of the best athletes at EHS. Drawing from this pool of talent, Hunter can play almost any combination of players and win.

Now that state championships are an Evergreen volleyball tradition, winning is ingrained in the Cougars.

No girl wants to be a member of the Cougar team that loses and breaks the streak.

That is a terrible kind of motivation, but handling the pressure has become another Evergreen volleyball tradition.

Nov. 6, 1985, the headline read: “Nine is divine for EHS spikers” Reporter Mike Phalen wrote: When the going got tough, the Eagles couldn’t compete with Evergreen’s heritage, Overland couldn’t blaze the same trail the Cougars have followed for years, and the Norse wished they’d stayed in Northglenn.

For the eighth straight season and the ninth year in the last 10, the Evergreen High School Cougars are the state 4A volleyball champions.

In 1986, the first year Evergreen did not win the state championship, the team was 23-3, losing three games against Heritage in the district tournament that would have allowed it to earn a spot in the state tournament.

Hunter had this to say about the losses: “I think what happened this year in Evergreen is the community, the school and the parents realized that it’s not magic or mystic in winning volleyball games. You cannot just be Evergreen and walk out on the court and win a match. That’s what we learned this year.”

and the peak’s first known summiter, gave the mountain in honor of his future wife. It was the mountain’s unofficial name until 1895.

The name Rosalie was given to a nearby peak after the mountain was renamed for Evans.

Proponent Jeri Neff acknowledged that while the local tribes must’ve had names for the peak, those names are unknown. So, the mountain’s first recorded name was Rosalie.

If the mountain was renamed Rosalie, Neff said it would be the only 14,000-foot peak in Colorado — called 14ers — named for a woman.

It’s also the only 14er that’s ever had a female namesake.

Neff said that, if there was a name change, she wanted it the peak to revert to its first recorded name. She said having it renamed for Rosalie Bierstadt would be appropriate as the 14er named for Albert Bierstadt is close by.

Mount Evans for Anne Evans Proponent Katie Sauter has proposed keeping the name Mount Evans, but redesignating the peak’s namesake as philanthropist Anne Evans.

Anne Evans, the daughter of John Evans, is best known for her work for the Denver Art Museum, Central City Opera House, and Denver Public Library.

Anne Evans lived part of her life on the Evans Ranch and eventually summited the nearby Mount Evans, Sauter described. She also noted how Anne Evans strongly promoted Native American artwork and was the Denver Public Library Commission’s first female president. She died in 1941 and was inducted into the Colorado Women’s Hall of Fame.

Sauter said she wasn’t sure what the Evans family thinks of her proposal, but noted how changing the name could prove difficult for visitors and rescuers using old maps.

Sauter conducted an informal poll on 14ers.com, the results of which supported her proposal to keep the name but redesignate the namesake.

Mount Soule Proponent Karen Naiman described her proposal to rename the peak for U.S. Army Captain Silas

A mountain goat peeks around the corner of the restroom building at the Mount Evans summit in June 2021. Federal officials will PHOTO BY CORINNE WESTEMAN likely decide this year whether to approve any of the five petitions to rename Mount Evans.

Soule, who refused to participate in the Sand Creek Massacre.

Soule was born into an abolitionist family that helped found Lawrence, Kansas and was active in the Underground Railroad. Soule himself fought in the Union Army during the Civil War, and he later attended peace summits with the

Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes.

After the Sand Creek Massacre, Soule testified against those who organized it. A few months afterward, Soule was killed on the streets of Denver while performing his duties as a marshal.

Naiman, a former journalist, said she researched the Sand Creek

Massacre in the 1990s and eventually wrote a book on the Cheyenne Tribe. She believed renaming Mount Evans for Soule would “help enlighten” Coloradans and visitors about the Sand Creek Massacre.

“I believe that Mount Soule is the most viable choice for renaming Mount Evans,” she said.

For the Love of Evergreen...

When will they add a crosswalk here for safety?

I wish they would improve that intersection.

I wish they would build a sidewalk by the school.

When will they add a shoulder to that road?

When will they fix those curbs?

In UNINCORPORATED Evergreen… there is no THEY. Being unincorporated, Evergreen does not have a city government and, as such, has no tax base to fund local infrastructure improvements.

Meet... the Evergreen Legacy Fund.

The Evergreen Legacy Fund is a community improvement fund financed by a voluntary 1% pass-through fee collected at participating local businesses, as well as by donations.

This money is used as seed money to secure State and Federal infrastructure grants and is then used in partnership with Jefferson County to fund county-approved projects throughout Evergreen.

…and the Legacy Fund could use your help.

The Evergreen Legacy Foundation is ramping up its membership drive to bring awareness to our local community projects and increase the funding needed to keep things rolling.

Morrison swears in new police chief Bill Vinelli becomes the Town of Morrison’s new police chief

BY OLIVIA JEWELL LOVE OLOVE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Town of Morrison swore in it’s new police chief, Bill Vinelli, March 1 at the Board of Trustees meeting.

Chief Vinelli has been with the department for about two weeks, and he said his force would be fully staffed by March 7.

The department will include a chief, two sergeants, four patrol officers and three part time officers.

All of the full time employees are people Vinelli has worked with in the past.

“All very proactive police officers, very personable, very community oriented,” he said.

Exhaustive investigation EVERGREEN — Arriving for work bright and early on the morning of Feb. 10, the tire store manager was confused to see a floor jack situated underneath a client’s car. Peering beneath the vehicle, he was alarmed to discover a flashlight and hack saw blade sitting next to the jack. Looking closer, he was outraged to discover fresh saw marks on the car’s exhaust pipe. Instantly concluding that someone had attempted to steal the vehicle’s catalytic converter and was interrupted in that odious undertaking, the manager called JCSO, telling deputies the shop would effect repairs at no cost to the car’s owner. Deputies so informed the owner, processed such evidence as remained and retired from the tire store.

False economy EVERGREEN — Angus McThrifty listened with interest as the “Verizon service representative” on the other end of the line explained in exciting detail the many ways he could slash his cell phone bill. Turned out McThrifty could save big piles of cash by giving the “Verizon service representative” $540, promptly paid in gift cards. Eyeballs flashing bright green dollar signs, McThrifty raced off to purchase the required gift cards, raced home to recite their numbers over the phone, and then sank back into the fine Corinthian leather of his wingback chair to savor the savings, self-congratulatory meditations that were spoiled by the belated realization that Verizon had never before asked for payment in gift cards. McThrifty called Verizon and was bluntly informed that he’d been scammed. Feeling his future fortune fading fast, McThrifty asked JCSO for help recovering his gift card riches. Deputies forwarded the case to JCSO’s fraud unit.

Splitting headache EVERGREEN — With winter bearing down hard, Sparky contacted Woody through the “Next

Morrison has been known for its reputation of being a “speed trap,” especially after a consultant’s report in 2021 found the town to be reliant on ticket revenue for the police department budget.

Vinelli recognizes the reputation, but also knows the need for safe speeds on Morrison roads. He said he expects his officers to be firm, fair and do their jobs.

The town has had previous problems with police retention, with their most recent police chief Misty Siderfin resigning after only three months on the job, and her predecessor George Mumma being forced into retirement after two and a half years.

“The officers I’m bringing to the Town of Morrison are going to do their job….We are not going to live by the stigma of what Morrison has been known by in the past,” Vinelli said. “There’s other elements to police work than just writing tickets”

Door” app and arranged to pay $325 for cord of warm. Woody delivered the fireplace-ready firewood as promised and presented Sparky with a bill for $400. Sparky looked up “cord” online and, calculating that Woody’s deliver fell somewhere short of the definition, counter-offered $225. Woody got hot, telling Sparky “you have three minutes remaining to send me my money.” Sparky stayed cool, refusing to pay a single red cent and advising Woody to remove the deficient delivery from the property. The way Sparky would later tell it to deputies, that’s when Woody burst into figurative flames, allegedly threatening to “burn down” Sparky’s house and “murder” Sparky’s wife. Hoping to light a fire under the prosecution, Sparky produced a recording of the conflagration and encouraged deputies to hear Woody’s scorching discourse for themselves. Officers listened, but heard nothing that might ignite concern. The case of the contentious cord has gone cold.

Plate shift PINE — Patrolling an area known to be frequented by persons peddling contraband, the deputy noticed that the “22” on the well-worn Nissan Pathfinder’s license plate’s registration sticker was “hand written.” Inquiring further, he learned that the Pathfinder’s front license plate had been issued to a Subaru Outback, its rear license plate had been issued to a Jeep Grand Cherokee, and that neither license plate had been valid in a very long time.

As the Pathfinder’s owner was nowhere in evidence, the deputy seized both misapplied plates and left a business card under it’s well-worn windshield wiper.

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.

Coffee with your paper: Morrison Joe Morrison coffee shop is ready for the busy season

BY OLIVIA JEWELL LOVE OLOVE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Editor’s Note: This is the seventh in an ongoing series about coffee shops in the Evergreen/Conifer area.

A warm week in Morrison means iced drinks and happy folks coming in from all over the metro area to get a quick sip at Morrison Joe coffee shop.

Open for nearly 10 years, the shop is a staple in downtown Morrison.

Staff sees people coming to work remotely, catch up with friends, and in the warmer months, get a drink after Yoga on the Rocks and other outdoor activities in the town.

Morrison Joe offers a variety of hot and iced drinks, as well as pastries from Taste of Denmark in Lakewood. The shop also has a wall of maps for people looking to explore the area.

JoAnne Collins and Natalie Tait have been working as baristas at Morrison Joe for three and four years respectively. They both love the staff and the location of the shop.

“I love the quaint little coffee shop,” Collins said.

“I love the people we work with!”

Tait said.

Tait also said one of the most charming things about the shop is how the owners keep it “old school.”

Decorated cups liven up the counter at Morrison Joe coffee shop.

Staff keep track of their hours on paper, and the owners literally get milk delivered through the window.

“The simplicity of it,” as Tait says, is what adds to its beauty.

Both Tait and Collins enjoy making cappuccinos and like drinking breve lattes.

The Bradleys, who own the shop, have created lots of unique drinks that keep people coming back for more. They have the “Bison Brittle,” which features the flavors of hazelnut and butter pecan, and the “Red Rocks Cherry Bomb,” which has notes of chocolate, cherries and almonds.

A quick search of the shop online reveals dozens of favorable reviews from people who have visited the shop once or many times, noting the service, unique drinks and atmosphere.

Morrison Joe is located at 211 Bear Creek Road in Morrison. The coffee shop currently is open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Sat-

State’s missing workers may just be disengaged Colorado has recovered 95.3% of jobs lost in COVID pandemic

BY TAMARA CHUANG THE COLORADO SUN

Scratch that old 2021 stat that Colorado has recovered 89% of jobs lost in the early days of COVID. The state did even better, according to new revisions that were just announced. We’re at 95.3% recovered.

More on that below.

But first, is the answer to the nation’s worker shortage to have more babies, process immigration visas faster and figure out how to engage workers again?

Economists over at EMSI, a research firm that analyzes labor data, presented those data points in “The Demographic Drought” and discussed the findings this week. The question on everyone’s mind was how employers and the community can figure out what happened to the missing workers.

“It’s the great enigma right now.

Everybody is trying to figure out the answer to this,” said Hannah Grieser, an EMSI senior labor market analyst during an online presentation Thursday. “Really what we need to talk about is how multifaceted the solutions are going to have to be because we’ve got people on the sidelines for a whole variety of reasons.”

While the U.S. birth rate is at record lows and 4 million immigration visas are stuck in processing, those aren’t going to be fast solutions, according to the report. It’s not just parents who dropped out because of child care issues either because that’s only about 5% of the labor force, she said. And it’s not just about people who are collecting unemployment.

“It really is about addressing those unengaged people rather than just the unemployed because we have fewer people unemployed than we have job openings,” she said. “We’d need 4 million additional people to fill that job openings gap.”

There were 2 million people receiving unemployment benefits in the U.S. as of Feb. 5, and 11 million job openings, according to EMSI. The missing workers show up in the nation’s labor force, which has shrunk by nearly 800,000 people since Jan. 2020.

Colorado is doing better than the nation. The state reached its highest labor force level in December, with 3.2 million people, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data. But compared to before the pandemic, fewer working-age adults are now “participating” in the labor force by working or looking for work. The state’s labor force participation rate was 68.3% in December, compared to 68.9% in Dec. 2019.

Some suggested solutions Down-credentialing job postings: Be realistic about what the job entails. Does it really need someone with eight years of experience and a bachelor’s degree? Grieser said some employers are realizing that some requirements are really “just nice to have.”

Be flexible on hours and location: Remote jobs exploded during the pandemic so workers who prefer that will look for those opportunities. Hybrid work weeks have become popular with both workers and employers.

Go after people. “Stop putting signs in your windows,” said Ron Hetrick, EMSI’s senior labor economist. “I’m not dissing job boards but you have to have a way of driving people to (the job). We keep talking about recycling the same workers (who apply to online jobs). That’s not working … We have to do something to get to those people who are disengaged.”

Why Colorado’s job recovery is at 95.3% Every month, new data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics provides a sense of how many jobs have come — or gone. Last month, its survey of business establishments showed that Colorado had added back 335,589 jobs since March and April 2020 when business closures went into effect to limit the spread of COVID-19.

Then this week, as it happens every month, the data is changed.

More bits of information had come in. Revisions were made. Numbers were adjusted.

The revision found that more jobs had returned from July to September than previously counted. Industries with higher numbers included professional and business services (up 10,300), construction (up 4,800), education and health services (up 3,800) and a few others.

But just as some went up, others went down, including trade, transportation and utilities (down 3,200), and government (down 2,100). The Colorado Department of Labor and Employment suspects that mining and logging jobs may be lowered in future revisions.

Ryan Gedney, CDLE’s senior economist, had a hunch this would happen. The revisions bumped up the state’s pandemic job recovery rate to 95.3%, from 89.3%.

“Our expected revision estimates have been fairly consistent throughout the year, where it appeared that (BLS’ Current Employment Statistics) was underestimating monthly total nonfarm employment levels by approximately 20,000, on average,” Gedney said.

And, as he always does, he said the data could be revised again. But these numbers are more on target with his own estimates.

“The December 2021 recovery rate will differ once benchmarking is

completed and that data released, but should be fairly close to the figure calculated with the expected revisions,” he said.

Unemployed must still use IDme The Internal Revenue Service said it will stop using the controversial IDme identity verification service on taxpayers, but the state Department of Labor has no plans to follow suit. At least not yet.

“As of today, there are no changes planned to the identity verification process used for unemployment claimants,” according to the emailed reply from CDLE. The IRS dropped facial-recognition service IDme due to privacy concerns. All states were forced to set up an identity verification system last year in order to receive federal money to distribute pandemic unemployment and prevent fraud.

Colorado picked IDme, which relies on personal data, like credit reports, and a video camera to verify that a

person is who they claim to be.

But it was a mess as a backlog of unemployed workers rushed to get their identities verified, though not all successfully. According to the state’s Daily Dashboard, only 15.4% of unemployment applicants who were told to use IDme did get verified, or 404,829 identities out of 2,631,696 claimants who tried, as of Feb. 25.

The state felt IDme did its job to block fraudsters from making a false claim using someone else’s identity. Colorado now requires all unemployment applicants to pass IDme verification.

Colorado attorneys say ‘implicit bias’ is getting people kicked off juries Colorado lawmakers are debating Senate Bill 128

BY THY VO THE COLORADO SUN

A proposal from Democratic state lawmakers to address “implicit” or unintentional racial bias in how people are excluded from Colorado jury service is stalled after facing unanimous opposition from the state’s district attorneys.

Proponents of Senate Bill 128 argue it would address what they say is a longstanding problem of people of color being disqualified from serving on juries on racial pretext, using reasons like a person’s distrust of law enforcement or English fluency. They say the current legal standard makes it too easy for attorneys to dismiss a juror as long as they don’t show purposeful discrimination.

“Minority jurors have continued to be excluded from service on juries because judges accept race-neutral reasons, such as a jurist’s hairstyle, language, body language, skepticism about whether police treat people fairly … and other explanations,” Sen. Pete Lee, a Colorado Springs Democrat and prime sponsor of the legislation, said at a hearing.

But the bill will need to overcome opposition from all 22 of the state’s district attorneys, who wield a lot of power at the Capitol, to advance.

At a meeting of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Feb. 23, several district attorneys, both Republicans and Democrats, argued the bill would limit the ability of attorneys to properly vet potential jurors, be too expensive to implement and skew juries to be anti-law enforcement.

“I find it interesting that this bill as drafted only applies to criminal trials, and the one common denominator that exists in every criminal trial is a law enforcement officer,” Weld County District Attorney Michael Rourke, a Republican, said.

tory challenge against one who expresses distrust for law enforcement will virtually ensure that at least one member of our jury will be voting for acquittal.”

Denver Democratic Sen. Julie Gonzales, the bill’s other prime sponsor in the Senate, said she and Lee postponed a vote on the bill to consider changes and find “a path forward.”

The current version of the measure would remove a requirement that a judge find “purposeful discrimination” in order to determine a juror was improperly removed because of their race. It would no longer allow attorneys in criminal cases to dismiss a juror by citing reasons like a distrust of law enforcement, living in public housing, having a child outside of marriage, receiving state benefits or speaking English as a second language.

Instead, an attorney would have to offer another reason to disqualify the person from serving.

The bill represents the second attempt to enact such a policy after the Colorado Supreme Court declined to hear a similar proposal, modeled after a reform in Washington state, last year.

Ann Roan, a criminal defense attorney and retired public defender who helped draft the bill, said prosecutors’ arguments against the bill are an oversimplification.

Attitudes toward law enforcement was specifically included in the measure because it has historically been used to disqualify potential jurors of color, she said.

Roan said a distrust of police alone shouldn’t be grounds to get rid of a potential juror. Attorneys on both sides are still able to ask follow-up questions that would show whether a juror’s point of view

would improperly prejudice their ability to judge the facts of the case.

“This bill has been misleadingly characterized as anti-law enforcement,” Roan said. “And I think that’s a pretty significant and deliberate misread of the historical fact that people of color have been excluded from jury service in this country for over 100 years.”

How are juries picked?

When selecting jurors, lawyers on both sides of a case can try to dismiss a person from serving based on either a challenge for cause — such as lacking in qualifications, or showing a bias that would prevent them from deciding the case impartially — or by using what’s called a peremptory challenge.

Peremptory challenges don’t require a reason, and defense attorneys and prosecutors each get a certain number of them. If an attorney wants to dispute a peremptory challenge by arguing a juror was removed for discriminatory reasons, the court would apply a test under a 1986 U.S. Supreme Court decision called Batson vs. Kentucky.

To overcome a Batson challenge, the striking party must offer a “race-neutral” justification for dismissing the juror, and a judge then must determine whether striking the juror showed purposeful discrimination.

Critics say the “purposeful discrimination” requirement means Batson is easy to get around, and challenges are rarely successful.

The measure would eliminate the requirement that a judge find deliberate discrimination and instead determine whether an “objective observer” could view the race or ethnicity as “a factor” in the peremptory challenge.

Joyce Akhahenda, chair of the Sam Cary Bar Association, a group for African American attorneys in Colorado, said the current standard can put judges in an awkward posi-

tion.

“People immediately go on the defensive, and the issue becomes about whether the attorney being challenged is a racist as opposed to the reasons why they made the challenge,” Akhahenda said.

At the Judiciary Committee hearing, prosecutors questioned whether the issue could be addressed with more training. They also pointed to a nonpartisan fiscal analysis that put the cost of the bill at $1.3 million a year, although proponents also dispute that estimate.

Robert Russel, head of the appellate division at the Denver District Attorney’s Office and a former appellate court judge, said he would consider supporting an amended bill where race would need to be a “significant factor” in a juror’s dismissal to uphold a challenge, rather than simply “a factor.” Russel opposed a similar proposal when it came before a judicial committee last year.

“I think it’s far from clear that (the bill) will increase the participation of people of color on juries,” Russel said at the hearing.

Nationwide attempts at reform The bill comes after Washington and California passed similar laws to address unintentional or “implicit” bias in how juries are picked.

Advocates that implemented those laws in Washington and California have pointed to a 2010 study of southern states and appellate cases in California that showed widespread use of peremptory challenges to dismiss Black jurors.

It’s difficult to assess how widespread the problem is in Colorado as there doesn’t appear to be data available on the demographics of juries and how peremptory challenges are exercised. Court decisions on Batson issues are also rare, although there are some recent examples.

Last month, the Colorado Supreme Court overturned a man’s

conviction after determining a judge mishandled a Batson challenge. The judge erred by offering his own reasoning for why excusing a Hispanic juror from a case with a Hispanic defendant was justified, despite a comment by the prosecutor directly referencing the juror’s race, Colorado Politics reported.

That spurred defense attorneys in Colorado to bring a similar policy before a panel of judges and attorneys, known as the Rules of Criminal Procedure Committee. Last year, the committee voted 7-5 to recommend a similar proposal to the Colorado Supreme Court for adoption. The court declined to hear the proposal, but said it would consider a similar policy in the future if the committee could reach “greater consensus.”

Tom Raynes, executive director of the Colorado District Attorneys’ Council, said prosecutors would prefer the rules committee handle the issue or that sponsors delay the bill a year, when more data will be available on how the changes have impacted courts in Washington and California.

Goan, the criminal defense attorney, believes it will be “very difficult” for the proposal to move forward given the united opposition from district attorneys.

Akhahenda, meanwhile, believes the issue is too urgent to be left up to training programs.

“We should want to have a representative community that encompasses everyone’s lived experiences and not just a select few,” Akhahenda said.

Advocates seek free school meals for all Colorado lawmakers want to make plan a reality

BY JASON GONZALES CHALKBEAT COLORADO

Amid a host of hardships, the pandemic brought a silver lining to Colorado schools: All students could eat lunch for free, with no stigma and no paperwork.

A broad coalition of nutritionists and farmers, parents and teachers wants to see Colorado continue this benefit into the future.

“This is an incredible opportunity for our kids to continue to get access to meals and not have to worry about whether or not their families can afford it or whether or not their families have applied for assistance,” said Taylor Hubbard, an elementary parent from Bellvue in northern Colorado. “It’s just one less worry.”

But Colorado lawmakers of both parties have concerns about the cost of the proposal — an estimated $118 million a year — when the state has many other unmet education needs. After more than two hours of testimony March 2, the Senate Education Committee delayed a vote on Senate Bill 87 so the sponsors can look for ways to lower the cost.

Bill sponsor state Sen. Brittany Pettersen, a Lakewood Democrat, said she’s confident Colorado lawmakers can prioritize the money to feed many more children than it did

before the pandemic. But she and fellow bill sponsors plan to introduce amendments that would lower the cost, possibly excluding some districts with a greater number of higher-income families.

The bill is also sponsored by state Sen. Rhonda Fields of Aurora and state Reps. Serena Gonzalez-Guitierrez of Denver and Dafna Michaelson Jenet of Commerce City. All of the prime sponsors are Democrats.

Colorado lawmakers introduce bill declaring Juneteenth a state holiday

BY MATT BLOOM COLORADO PUBLIC RADIO

Colorado lawmakers have kickstarted the process of making Juneteenth an official state holiday, joining the federal government and many businesses that already observe it.

On March 2, members of the Black Democratic Legislative Caucus gathered with supporters outside the state Capitol to promote SB22-139.

The bill would add Juneteenth to the calendar of state holidays starting this year.

“I think Juneteenth is largely seen as an African American thing, but it should be seen as something for the general population,” said Sen. Janet Buckner, one of the bill’s sponsors.

“It should be something to be educated about and never forgotten.”

The holiday commemorates June 19, 1865, when Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas and freed the country’s last remaining enslaved people more than two years

after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth has been recognized by many Black communities, including Denver’s, for decades.

President Joe Biden designated it as the 11th federal holiday in 2021, making it the first addition to the federal list since Martin Luther King Jr. Day in 1983. State holidays specifically impact the operations of government offices and public schools.

Colorado’s effort to officially recognize Juneteenth stems from negotiations with the state workers’ union, which signed its first contract last November. The union, Colorado Workers for Innovative and New Solutions Local 1876 (WINS), negotiated the addition of the paid holiday as a part of their 3-year deal, which also includes a new $15 minimum wage and paid family leave.

Supporters say the recognition of Juneteenth is also a symbolic nod toward improving diversity

and equity in state government.

Juneteenth is now a paid holiday for Aurora city employees During the March 2 press conference, Skip Miller, president of WINS, said that he never celebrated the holiday while growing up. It wasn’t until he moved to Colorado in the 80’s that he started attending annual Juneteenth celebrations in Denver’s Five Points neighborhood.

“This is something that we have all fought for,” Miller said. “We’re gonna ensure that all people who call this state home can celebrate such a critical holiday.”

The bill still needs to make its way through both chambers and receive the governor’s signature before it becomes official. Gov. Jared Polis said Wednesday that he supported the change.

“By adopting Juneteenth as a state holiday, we’re paying tribute to the millions of Black Americans who endured indescribable suffering under the horrors of slavery,” Polis said. “But just as important, we

elevate the celebration because at its heart, this is a joyous holiday.”

If successful, the addition of Juneteenth would be Colorado’s second change to its list of official holidays in recent years. The state replaced Columbus Day with Frances Xavier Cabrini Day in 2020.

Members of the Black caucus expect little pushback on the effort — a stark difference from when members pushed for the addition of MLK day in the 80’s, said Sen. Leslie Herod, the caucus’ chair.

“The person who had my seat prior to me, Wilma Webb, fought and fought for five years to make the MLK holiday real under threat. She actually lost her seat on the budget committee,” Herod said. “We ain’t gonna have that same fight this year.”

Coloradans can help bring music to life for students Annual instrument drive takes place March 7-20

BY STAFF REPORT

Making music can lift spirits, and the Bringing Music to Life Instrument Drive ensures students in underfunded music programs have access to the instruments they need.

Now in its 12th annual year, the instrument drive this year runs March 7-20.

Anybody who has a gently-used band or orchestra instrument they no longer play is asked to donate it at any of the 17 donation sites which are located across the state. The instrument is repaired and cleaned, and then is provided to a school in need. Though the instrument goes to the schools, the teachers assign the instrument to a student, who gets to keep it as their own for the entire time they are enrolled in the

school’s music program.

“Study after study shows the positive impact that learning music has on children,” said Steve Blatt, founder and executive director of Bringing Music to Life, in a news release. “Their listening skills improve, as well as creative thinking, self-discipline and self-esteem. Students learn the value of persevering and how to work with others toward a common goal. We’re excited about reaching even more children, schools and communities this year.”

Last year’s drive had a turnout of 597 donated instruments, which benefitted 41 music programs across the state. To date, since the program’s founding in 2014, roughly 17,500 Colorado students have benefited from the more than 6,500 instruments that have been donated through the Bringing Music to Life program.

Instruments needed include band and orchestra instruments in good condition, including strings, brass,

woodwinds, percussion, guitars and electronic keyboards. Upright and grand pianos or organs cannot be accepted.

Those who do not have an instrument to donate may still participate in the drive by donating to the drive’s repair fund. These funds go toward repairing and refurbishing the instruments, which is the greatest expense of the program, Blatt said. This work is done by technicians at the Colorado Institute of Musical Instrument Technology (CIOMIT) and Boomer Music Com-

pany in Fort Collins and they ensure every instrument is in excellent condition by the time it is provided to the student.

All donations are tax deductible.

Schools that have a majority of students receiving free or reducedcost lunches are encouraged to apply for instruments through March 31. Bringing Music to Life will match qualifying schools with donated instruments.

“Music is always a reminder of something bigger than yourself,” said Carolyn Warpinski, music teacher and director of bands and choirs at Hill Campus of Arts and Sciences in Denver, in a news release, “whether it’s an awareness of the composer of a piece or connection to the other students making music with you.”

To learn more about the Bringing Music to Life program or to find a list of donation locations, visit bringingmusictolife.org.
