Mount Blue Sky the preferred option at Clear Creek County meeting

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Most who spoke at the March 8 Clear Creek County commissioners meeting favored renaming Mount

Evans to Mount Blue Sky. Others generally favored renaming the peak but didn’t back a specific petition, saying they wanted the tribes that originally lived in Colorado to rename the mountain.

Along with dozens of written comments beforehand, about 20 county residents, people of indigenous descent and residents of the Front Range spoke at the March 8 meeting.

The Board of County Commissioners plans to register its opinion

RENAMING FROM PAGE 1

1864, John Evans issued proclamations authorizing Colorado settlers to “kill and destroy ... all hostile Indians,” which Colorado Gov. Jared Polis rescinded last year.

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

The U.S. Board on Geographic Names has asked Clear Creek County to register its opinion. Clear Creek can register as: generally opposed to a name change; neutral; generally supportive of a name change; supportive of tribal-based petitions but not taking sides; or supportive of a specific petition.

The USBGN has final say on whether and which petition to approve, if any. Along with Clear Creek County, the board also is looking for input from the state’s naming advisory board, stakeholder tribes and the U.S. Forest Service.

The push for Mount Blue Sky Of those who spoke at the March 8 meeting, most supported the Mount Blue Sky petition, which was proposed by the Southern Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes and the Wilderness Society in late 2020.

Many who spoke also participated in last year’s discussions on the Clear Creek County peak now named Mestaa’ehehe Mountain.

A group of advocates called the Mestaa’ehehe Coalition pushed to

Mount Evans, seen here from Fire Tower Trail along Highway 103 in December 2020, is PHOTO BY CORINNE WESTEMAN the subject of several renaming petitions.

rename that peak in honor of Owl Woman, which a federal naming board approved in December.

Since then, the Mestaa’ehehe Coalition and other groups have supported the Mount Blue Sky petition, as the name is significant to both the Cheyenne and Arapaho. Blue Sky also captures the mountain’s beauty and is a name Coloradans can be proud of, its supporters described.

Broomfield’s Marrton Dormish noted that a blue sky is something everyone can enjoy.

Written public comment from Clear Creek, Jeffco and other Front Range residents also supported the Mount Blue Sky petition, saying it would accurately describe such a

beautiful place.

Supporting indigenous-led efforts Some, including two descendants of John Evans, supported a general push to rename the mountain.

While they didn’t advocate for a specific petition, they wanted to support renaming efforts led by members of the Ute, Cheyenne, and Arapaho tribes.

A few who submitted written public comment also held this view.

These commenters and those advocating for Mount Blue Sky described how renaming the mountain would honor those who suffered at the Sand Creek Massacre and help their descendants start a healing process

for the intergenerational trauma they still carry. It would also build a relationship between the tribes and the place they once called home.

Rick Williams, who is of Lakota and Cheyenne descent, described how “the Indian people were completely removed from Colorado” in just a few years. He said many were targeted and killed, and those remaining were forcefully removed from Colorado’s Front Range and Eastern Plains.

Others who spoke described how the Sand Creek Massacre is relatively unknown, as hasn’t always been taught in Colorado schools. Renaming the mountain would acknowledge John Evans’ connection to the atrocity and help educate people about what happened.

Kellie Brown, a Clear Creek County resident and member of the Evergreen Coalition for Racial Justice, commented: “Someone who was forced to resign as governor shouldn’t have his name on one of our most beautiful landmarks. As Coloradans, none of us should be proud of that.”

Opposition and other suggestions Liz Tyus, who lives on Chicago Creek Road near Mount Evans, noted how most advocating for a name change didn’t live in the county.

She’d heard about the March 8 meeting at the grocery store, where many of her neighbors were upset about a potential name change.

“I think people will still refer to it as Mount Evans,” she said. “ …

Once the name changes, you will get a lot of pushback.”

RENAMING FROM PAGE 4

There were dozens of written comments from Clear Creek residents and others who opposed a name change. They felt it was a product of “cancel culture,” that it would “erase history,” and ultimately be a waste of elected officials’ time and taxpayers’ money.

“This is a slippery slope to go down though,” Jun Guo of Lafayette wrote. “We don’t rename the Washington Monument to something else just because he owned slaves.”

Beth Evans Simmons, who has a doctorate in Colorado history, explained that the mountain was named for Evans because he owned property in the area.

“The naming doesn’t ‘honor’ John Evans, but simply recognizes his property ownership,” she wrote. “I buck these name changes because they alter Colorado history. ... If any name should be used to designate the mountain, it would be Tahosa, the original name suggested for Colorado.”

Some felt that redesignating the namesake as Anne Evans, renaming a visitor center or similar site, and/ or installing signage to memorialize the Sand Creek Massacre victims would be fair concessions to maintaining the name Mount Evans.

“If you feel you must rename our most famous mountain, then at a minimum let that name have an historic and real reference to our county’s history,” Clear Creek resident Nelson Fugate wrote. “Please be wise and not just politically

popular.”

Some written comments supported the Mount Cheyenne-Arapaho, Mount Soule and Mount Rosalie petitions. There also were some who offered their own suggestions for the mountain’s name.

During the March 8 meeting, Clear Creek County resident Michael Hocevar recommended Mount Ev-

Commissioner Randy Wheelock said the Sisty proposal is still being vetted by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names and isn’t an official

petition yet.

Commissioners George Marlin and Sean Wood thanked everyone for their comments, saying they learned a lot about Colorado’s history and indigenous cultures.

Marlin said he’ll reflect a lot on what he’s learned and “what can come out of this” before the March 15 meeting.

LGBTQ+ support for the mountain community

The room Beyond the Rainbow is hosted in allows the participants to paint on the walls and express themselves.

Resilience1220 offers an LGBTQ+ support group for teens and family members looking for community

BY OLIVIA JEWELL LOVE OLOVE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Being an LGBTQ+ teen or having a family member navigating the LGBTQ+ community can be hard, and that’s why Resilience1220 offers an LGBTQ+ support group, Beyond the Rainbow, once a month.

Beyond the Rainbow is actually two support groups, one targeting people aged 12-20, and the other geared

towards parents or caregivers raising LGBTQ+ children. Resilience1220 founder Heather Aberg said the Beyond the Rainbow program was started with the Evergreen Christian Church years ago.

“We were attracting people from Conifer, Clear Creek, and attracting people from all ages,” Aberg said.

The teen group consistently has at least 8-10 participants, and they do fun activities like decorating cupcakes and playing with therapy dogs.

Caitilin Lowe-Hoover is the leader of the teen group. She also is a licensed psychotherapist.

“Basically a social group that has some therapeutic elements,” is how she described the group.

Lowe-Hoover sees the group as a great place for those questioning

their gender identities and those supporting friends in the LGBTQ+ community.

Lowe-Hoover said that members of the group feel comfortable pursuing their own interests at meetings and existing freely.

Madison, who asked to be identified by her first name only, has been attending Beyond the Rainbow for a couple years.

“My favorite part about going to the group is how accepting it is and the different types of people you get to meet there,” she said.

Madison said she has made friends at the group, and also likes to invite other friends to come with her to Beyond the Rainbow. She thinks a group like this can help people feel accepted.

c a s g a c R PHOTO PROVIDED BY HEATHER ABERG s “I think it’s important to have that b source of acceptance, because I know s many people don’t get that, and they g live their lives thinking they’re the only one and they think they’re weirdt or the only one, and there are always d people out there that will accept them s s and support them,” she said. h Madison regards the group as a fun and relaxing place to be herself. i c She encourages anyone interested to come, and describes the group as c unique and accepting. b Beyond the Rainbow meets the second Wednesday of the month from a 7-8:30 p.m..

Cory Vander Veen is the rec director in Aspen

Cory Vander Veen, the recreation director in Aspen, has been named the only finalist to become the Evergreen Park & Recreation District executive director.

Vander Veen has been in the Aspen position since July 2017, and before that he worked in parks and recreation in Brownsville, Texas, Gunnison, Colorado, and Apex Parks and Recreation in Arvada.

The Evergreen Park & Recreation board of directors voted Vander Veen as its sole finalist at a special meeting on March 7. The board must wait 14

days before making him an offer, and EPRD board President Monty Estis said Vander Veen may make a presentation at the 5 p.m. May 29 board meeting.

Estis said preCory Vander Veen viously that the district received about 100 applications for the position held by Ellen O’Connor until she resigned in November, and a committee has narrowed it to seven.

Vander Veen said he “bleeds recreation — I love everything park and recreation,” and he wanted to lead Evergreen Park & Recreation District because he likes the area’s small-town vibe and the supportive community.

GOLF FROM PAGE 1

brought to the school by an organization called First Tee. The coaches, all of whom are golf enthusiasts who like to work with children, work through drills and take breaks to chat in small groups about character.

The nonprofit provides physical education classes in schools around metro Denver, teaching students that golf is a pretty easy game to learn, and it’s for all ages, according to Colby Cobb, program coordinator for First Tee Colorado Rocky Mountains. The organization started in Denver schools and has begun branching out, and in the summer, it offers classes on Denver golf courses.

Cobb began the lesson by asking the third graders about the previous day’s word, respect, and how they showed respect to others. Students said they helped with chores at home, did what their parents asked immediately and helped in the classroom.

Cobb asked students to define confidence, and they responded with being brave, being proud of yourself and doing things you don’t want to do. Then it was on to the golf lesson, practicing a balanced finish, which is completing the swing.

Physical education teacher Heidi Schuette said she knew of First Tee through her son’s experiences with the program, and representatives presented the program at a professional development seminar

through Jeffco Public Schools.

“So many students here go skiing, ice skating and hiking, but they are not necessarily introduced to golf,” Schuette said. “This program sparks their interest, and I can see improvement in their swings after five days.”

She said her goal in bringing the program to Parmalee was to teach students a lifetime outdoor activity that would enhance their health.

Students don’t hit balls. Rather, they hit plastic rings, and as their swings get stronger, the rings fly through the air. After everyone has a turn hitting five rings, students run through the gym to pick up the rings before another practice round.

Students had fun golfing, and some had golfed before — more than miniature golf.

Third grader Alina Lipsky explained that she already knew how to drive a golf cart, and she liked learning the proper stance and how to hit a golf ball.

Third grader Gemma Schart said she’s tried golfing on a real golf course with her dad.

Third grader Canon Beals said he enjoyed learning the new skills, though he has golfed before at a course in Lakewood.

As the students swing the clubs, the coaches give a lot of praise: “Good finish.” “That’s a very confident swing.”

As coach Gill Howison talked to his group about golfing, he told them: “Think that the next swing will be the best swing you ever made. When you believe it will happen, it will happen.”

VOICES

Your voice matters when it comes to selecting community officials

S

unshine Week is March 13-19.

What’s that, you ask? It’s a national initiative to educate the public about the importance of open government and the dangers of secrecy. Simply put, it’s your right to know what elected officials are doing. In this case, I’m talking about your local elected officials— those special districts up here that impact your daily lives.

So it seems fitting that I say something about the Evergreen Park & Recreation District’s process to hire a new executive director. Ellen O’Connor left the district in November, and the EPRD board began searching for a replacement with a goal of bringing the new hire on board by April 1.

The district received 100 applications for the position, narrowed it to seven, and on March 7, the board publicly named the sole finalist— Cory Vander Veen, the current recreation director in Aspen. Board members and EPRD staff members were part of the interviews.

Since the EPRD executive director is such a public position, one thing has been missing in this search process: you.

Was the EPRD board obligated to get the public involved? No. Could it get the public involved? Absolute-

ly. Should it? In my opinion, yes. I submit that an elected board should solicit public input every chance it gets.

EPRD is not hiring a CEO for a private company. Instead, this is a public position that oversees a public entity.

Reporter Please understand, my concern is not with Vander Veen, but with the process.

I have no doubt the EPRD board has been well intentioned, knowing that applicants don’t necessarily want their current employers to learn they are job-hunting. Elected boards generally say that making the process more public deters the best candidates from applying.

By law, all applications are kept from the public except the application from the finalist or finalists, and district officials have followed those laws. However, with only one finalist, we have no way of judging the wisdom of our five elected board members in their decision.

Even though the EPRD board decided the public would not participate in selecting the finalist, EPRD could have gathered public input by

DEB HURLEY BROBST

scheduling a meet-the-finalist event early in the 14-day waiting period required between naming a finalist and hiring that person.

Instead, the EPRD board is expected to ask Vander Veen to be available at the next board meeting, which is a Zoom meeting at 5 p.m. March 29, or possibly sooner if the board decides to have a special meeting. Board President Monty Estis says the public can meet Vander Veen virtually, and board members can ask questions before voting on whether to hire him.

Meeting the finalist the same night the board is voting to hire him provides little chance for public input.

Why does this matter? Because the rec district probably impacts your lives almost daily. You likely are rec district constituents at some level, whether you attend the summer concerts or skate at Evergreen Lake, visit one of the district’s many parks or the district’s two rec centers — or pay taxes if you live in-district. EPRD is about as public as it gets up here in terms of its governance and its impact on residents.

Why should you be involved?

Because decisions the EPRD board and the executive director make affect you, and district residents

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

ABOUT LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Unmitigated ignorance of forests One fails to plumb the depths of ignorance in the following statement from Full Send Bike Ranch (FSBR) to the Denver Gazette, published Feb. 13, 2022: “It’s 500 acres of unmitigated forest. There’s dead and down brush everywhere. It’s honestly in a horrible, horrible state from a forest fire standpoint.”

Transplanted from New Hampshire in 2020, FSBR’s mouthpiece, Mr. Phil Bouchard, is categorically unqualified to assess conditions on the Conifer Area land FSBR proposes to destroy. Unmitigated ignorance of forests is amply demonstrated, since it is impossible to mitigate a forest. The opinion “horrible, horrible state” is nothing but uninformed. Dead and down timber (“brush” is, by definition, “down”) naturally occurs in forests around the world: vegetation lives and dies. 500 acres isn’t “everywhere.” A “forest fire” cannot exhibit perspective and it’s termed a wildfire in this state—maybe a “forest fire” if one is illiterate regarding forests and fires.

FSBR speciously considers fulfillment of insurance company and building permit requirements to be wildfire risk “mitigation,” affecting, at most, 1.25% of 40,00050,000 similarly forested acres along Shadow Mountain Drive.

Finally, FSBR’s business model negates this negligible effort twofold: - By stringing temporary power lines, operating heavy equipment, running metal and wood cutting tools, and employing welding rigs on land rated the highest wildfire risk in Colorado.

- FSBR then seeks to attract over 4000 ignition sources

need to be involved in local matters.

That’s where I—and other reporters—come in: I attend many special district meetings each month as your representative and report in the Canyon Courier what those boards are doing – because it affects your lives. Believe me, I take that responsibility very seriously.

Some special districts include the public in these sorts of decisions.

The Clear Creek Metropolitan Recreation District board in September 2020, in the middle of the pandemic, interviewed five finalists for its top administrative position and invited the community to attend. The board welcomed comments from the public before hiring Cameron Marlin.

I hope you will join me at the next EPRD board meeting to meet the sole finalist for the executive director position. It’s important that you let your elected officials know that you care about this decision.

Unfathomable.

G. Scott O’Connell, Conifer In response to the March 10 letter by Joanne Greenberg The fire station that will soon be built is being provided to the taxpayers at no cost. That is a win. It will be a professionally designed facility with not just improvements inside but also NFPA requirements like proper ventilation, anti cancer protections for firefighters and proper apparatus aprons. An aerial device requires 50 feet. Though Foothills does not have an aerial both Evergreen and Genesee do. With the new alignment being proposed for the road as well as RTD there won’t be any issues you mention. This station will serve the community for 50 plus years.

We need retail and hotel space to attract more revenue producing opportunities. Plain and simple we need tax revenue and jobs. We need more housing as well. Evergreen for example could use another 2,000-2,500 homes.

We need to continue the build out. Not just in the gateway area of El Rancho but throughout Evergreen and into Conifer. That’s just the way it is is!

We need growth and development! Just like we need to develop our own domestic energy supply and critical metals and minerals, Economic security is national security! A win win for all!!!

Don’t forget to prioritize your health

R

ecently I was diagnosed as having kidney stones. I paid $150 out of pocket to have some CT imaging done to discover that. While it is certainly unpleasant to have them, those stones are not my major health problem. The imaging discovered a 1.5 inch mass on one of my kidneys.

That sort of news is a major wake up call. In hindsight, that $150 was one of the best expenditures I have ever made in my life because the mass on my kidney was discovered. As of this writing, I have not yet had a biopsy done to determine whether this mass is malignant or benign, but that will certainly be done as soon as possible.

The doctors I have seen tell me that there is no rhyme or reason to why these masses occur. They furthermore state that the chances are overwhelming that this mass is

JOE WEBB

malignant, but they also note that I have a few behavorial traits which increase the odds of this being benign.

That’s nice, but hopes are not effective treatment, they are wishes. I intend to treat this growth Columnist as malignant until it is proven otherwise, and have already engaged in behavorial modification to do just that. While doctors may not be able to pinpoint a reason, that does not mean an individual cannot examine themselves to see how this invader took up residence in them. In my case, I have had a lot of stress in my life over the last 10 years. The stress in large part was unavoidable and is now frankly over.

My mass was discovered “in

time,” which means that the odds are very good that I will get well. There may be pain and suffering along the way. If I follow the orders of doctors, then I will not only conquer and defeat this tumor, I will also annihilate it so that it cannot make a return appearance. I am sharing my circumstances for several reasons.

Get your body scanned regularly. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Find out what sort of undetected dangers may be lurking in your body. I was told by one doctor that this tumor was discovered “in time.” Implicit in that statement is that some are not discovered in time. Get ahead of potential dangers. There may be none in your body. If so, then great. But if something exists, I hope you discover it “in time.”

Listen to your body. If something feels seriously wrong, then

address what is wrong. Your body rebels when you tax it beyond its normal capacity for endurance. This also means eliminating vectors of stress in your own individual lives.

Prioritize. I owe it to myself and the people who love me to do my best to get well. Indeed, I shall. But that means some things that have been important to me are going to go by the wayside for a little bit of time. That does not mean I cannot return to them, it just means that right now my overall health is more important.

The medical system is very stressed right now and I suspect I will discover this in more ways as I undertake this journey. Regardless, I hope that some will view my circumstances as a warning and engage in preventative behavior to live as long as possible.

Meyer sees the value in services that The Arc provides, not only for people like David, but for those with invisible disabilities. She said she has a daughter with invisible disabilities, but without obvious physical indicators, she often gets overlooked.

“Some disabilities are just as challenging, but not obvious,” Meyer said.

Other people with disabilities access The Arc later in life, and have different paths in the program.

Growing up, Roxy had an IEP in school but otherwise did not have a lot of intervention. When Roxy was a junior thinking about life after highschool, Charlotte began to look for resources.

“Junior year came along, and all of a sudden I got really anxious,” Charlotte said.

With the goal of inclusivity and creating normal lives for people with disabilities, The Arc of Colorado strives to help people with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (I/DD) be included in their communities.

The Arc has 15 chapters in the state of Colorado that cover the state, and they are all independent nonprofits funded by Arc Thrift Stores. There are 30 Arc Thrift Stores across the state, and Arc is the largest company employing disabled people in Colorado.

Luke Wheeland is the director of community outreach, education and communications for The Arc of Arapahoe and Douglas Counties. He explained how the money from the thrift stores translates into services for those with disabilities.

“That funding allows advocacy for people with I/DD for their lifecycle, from birth to death, for free,” Wheeland said.

Lynn Meyer started seeking services with The Arc when her son, David, was in grade school. David is now 39 and has Down syndrome.

They live in Greenwood Village in Arapahoe County.

Meyer described David as “a pretty typical human being,” who loves sports, video games, movies and hanging out with his friends. He has worked at King Sooper’s for over 21 years. David is mostly non-verbal, so once he turned 18, Meyer pursued a guardianship to help make decisions for him.

Meyer said that while now she knows about many resources, she recognizes that some of the information can be hard to process alone.

“There are so many resources out there, but you’ve got to have a point of contact who knows both the resources and what your family may need,” she said.

That’s where programs like The Arc come in. They helped with IEP navigation in school, paperwork and offered many social groups for David.

“It’s really been the folks at The Arc who have helped at the school,

Roxy graduated high school in 2020, and decided she wanted to study nursing. She attended junior college for a little over a semester, but was unable to control herself around food, leading to health problems.

Back at home now, Roxy is adjusting to online classes. She has plans for her future, and they involve pursuing more of her passions.

“Become a nurse, do more dancing and theater,” Roxy said.

Colorado’s average gas prices nearing record Prices expected to remain high

BY MATT BLOOM COLORADO PUBLIC RADIO

Coloradans can expect more pain at the pump as the average price for fuel continues to climb due to global market volatility.

The state’s average price per gallon hit $3.91 on March 9, according to AAA Colorado. Prices have climbed more than $.60 over the past week, mostly due to crude oil price jumps, said Skyler Mckinley, AAA’s public affairs director.

“Coloradans should be accustomed to gas price increases and

The Arc has helped Roxy get a Supported Living Services or SLS waiver through Medicaid, which provides services like funding for participating in certain community groups, which includes a theater program for Roxy.

very quick increases, even day to day, as the price that we pay at the pump catches up to what’s going on with crude oil,” Mckinley told CPR’s Colorado Matters.

The price upswing comes as the U.S. moves to ban Russian energy imports in response to the country’s invasion of Ukraine. In a speech on March 8, President Joe Biden acknowledged the move could send gas prices soaring, but he said the ban was necessary to “deal another powerful blow to Putin’s war machine.”

Fuel prices still haven’t hit record highs in Colorado, but they could quickly get there, Mckinley said.

The state’s per gallon record is still $4.09, which it reached in 2008.

“I think it’s a near certainty that we will be in those record numbers

again,” he said. “They might not top records if you adjust for inflation, but that might also be a possibility.”

The state’s highest prices are concentrated in tourist-heavy mountain communities and the southwest corner of the state. Pitkin County’s average price hit $4.76 per gallon Wednesday. San Miguel County hit $4.33.

Denver’s average price was $3.88 as of Wednesday morning. Averages were lower in Northern Colorado communities and throughout the Eastern Plains.

The cost to fill up will likely rise another 15% by the end of this week as markets react to the new import ban and gas stations adjust to global crude oil prices, Mckinley said.

“Expect more remote areas to

I/DD, and any child with an IEP or 504 plan. The group centers itself around three types of advocacy: systems advocacy, which includes legislation, bills, finances and navigating the system, child advocacy, which supports the special education system, and adult advocacy, to help adults with disabilities navigate employment, apply for benefits, find housing, transport and more.

While The Arc serves people with I/DD, it never shies away from helping people with other disabilities.

With a great network of resources, their staff can help connect people with the right services.

“If families don’t know where to

turn, they can turn to any Arc chapter,” Wheeland said. “We never leave people hanging.”

Beyond just advocacy services, The Arc works to create a community that is for everyone; with or without disabilities. The branches offer events like Oscar watching parties, craft/paint nights, game nights and more. During peak times of COVID-19, The Arc offered online programs like trivia, where people all over the country could tune in to play.

have higher prices,” he said. “And because we are such a robust tourist state, major tourist corridors always have a bit of an upcharge because there’s a lot of demand and not a ton of supply.”

Individual states have little control over global oil prices. Governors, including Jared Polis, have urged the federal government to suspend the federal gas tax to help soften the blow of price jumps.

Legislation in the House and Senate would knock about $.18 off the cost of a gallon of gas, according to the governors’ letter. It would also authorize the U.S. Department of Treasury to transfer general fund dollars to replace the lost revenue.

Evergreen, Conifer coaches looking forward to great seasons Conifer boys lacrosse The best thing about the 2022 spring season for Conifer boys lacrosse is that it’s a normal season with no pandemic game cancellations or protocols.

The worst thing, which is nothing new for high school spring sports in the foothills, is the unpredictable weather.

Coach Tom Grover said he and the team are excited for the new season despite weather adversity, and he has a talented group of returning players from last year that has him hopeful the team will make the playoffs.

Grover said midfielder Sean Butler was the player to watch.

Weather dependent, Conifer is scheduled to play Jefferson Academy at 4:30 p.m. March 17 at Clear Creek.

Jeffco league title.

“It’s a pretty good challenge beause everybody is shooting for the defending champ,” coach Peter Jeans said. “I like the culture of our team. I think we will give a spirited defense to our title. The conference we play in is the best in the state, so we have our work cut out for us.”

While the team was the state runner-up last year, Jeans isn’t thinking that far ahead, explaining that the goal is to win the conference title and then to prepare to play well in the playoffs.

“I don’t talk about going back to state or winning state,” he said.

“Instead, it’s ‘Let’s get better today, better tomorrow.’”

Seven seniors lead the team, with five of them returning varsity players including Catherine, Elizabeth and Rami Rapp, who have all signed letters to play at the college level.

Other players to watch, Jeans said, are Willow Bade and goalkeeper Aubrey Huerta.

The girls play Battle Mountain at 6:30 p.m. March 17 at home.

players this season, most of whom have never played tennis before.

“The kids are great. They listen really hard, and they’re trying to get better,” Doyle said. “Some of them have played other sports, which is really good, so they know how to compete. Some have never played a sport, so it’s all new to them. They are doing well.”

This is Doyle’s first year coaching Conifer girls tennis, though he has coached boys tennis for two years and other teams for the past two decades.

The girls had a match vs. George Washington at 4 p.m. March 15 at Crestmoor Park.

Conifer baseball In his first year as the Conifer baseball coach, Spencer Hamilton is making some changes gleaned from his time as an assistant coach for the team.

He reconfigured winter practices so the team could hit the ground running as the spring season has started. He’s instituted team captains, helping to create a leadership structure among the players.

He is happy to have one more year with senior Story Talbert, who has

signed to play with Hastings College in the fall.

“The kids are bigger, stronger, faster and hitting the ball harder,” Hamilton said of the junior-heavy team. “I think they are going to be pretty good and a force to be reckoned with.”

Evergreen girls lacrosse The state champion Evergreen girls lacrosse team is ready for a tough season, especially knowing that it is the team to beat.

Coach Rachel Sanford said 10 seniors graduated, but in contrast, an eager group of freshmen with club experience have joined the team. Players Averi Gardner and Bella Reece are the ones to watch this season.

“The players who were here last year know what it takes to win the state championship,” Sanford said, with tough conference play similar to last year. “It’s a pretty strong schedule, which I think is fun. We play a combination of teams we’ve never played before and teams we play every year.”

The girls played at 7 p.m. March 15 against East at Trailblazer Stadium.

More than just a tool for advertising, social media made creating a business possible for local womanowned business Daddy’s Homemade Syrup.

In February 2020, after trying his hand at making homemade syrups for the family, Amber Burr’s husband Dannie decided he was ready to start selling his product. He originally created it to make breakfast healthier for his three kids, and when his picky-eater enjoyed the syrup he made, the family decided it was time to share it with the world.

When all the events where the family was planning to sell their new product got canceled due to COVID-19, Burr realized she needed to pivot to social media, even though SEE BUSINESS, P15

Editor’s Note: This is the eighth in an ongoing series about coffee shops in the foothills.

Those wanting to play classic or modern board games while they sip on a latte should look no further than Tony’s Coffee Shack in Bailey.

Becca and Antonio Hector opened Tony’s Coffee Shack in June 2021 as an extension of their food truck they had been operating for 8 months before they got the building.

Becca hopes that the shop can be a community gathering place.

“A place in Bailey where people can go and hang out if their internet goes out,” she said.

The shop serves Kaladi Brothers Coffee, multiple milk alternatives, dairy free smoothies and countless types of sandwiches out of the truck, which is parked on the property.

The truck offers New York style breakfast sandwiches, grilled lunch sandwiches and more. Becca recommends the BCR, the bacon cheddar ranch.

Antonio has always had a passion for creating great food.

“His personal dream was always

to serve food to other people,” Becca said.

Moving to Bailey from New York made his dream a reality.

“The universe cleared a way for us to do something else,” Becca said.

In addition to food and drinks, Tony’s Coffee Shack offers more than 40 board games to play in the shop.

For $5 a person, one can play as long and as many games as they like. The shop has classics like Scrabble, Clue and checkers, and modern games like Settlers of Catan and Dungeons and Dragons.

“We’re hoping the gaming community will grow here,” Becca said.

The shop currently has a DnD campaign and has board game night every Saturday from 4-8 p.m..

The pair is looking to create a community atmosphere in other ways with Tony’s Coffee Shack.

Every month, they host “The Bailey Date Night Club,” which is a seven course themed dinner cooked out of the food truck and served in the shop. The theme changes monthly and they take reservations at tonyssammies@gmail.com.

In the near future, the shop hopes to acquire their liquor license, opening up more possibilities for the menu and future events.

Tony’s Coffee Shack is located at 12 Rosalie Road in Bailey. The shop is open Monday through Thursday from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m., Fridays and Sundays 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays 6 a.m. to 8 p.m..

she never thought she would go there.

“I was one of those people that wanted nothing to do with social media,” she said.

Burr realized that the platforms could provide free advertising, and she started diving in.

“It became a really big part of what we were doing,” she said.

Now, Daddy’s Homemade Syrup has a presence on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Youtube and LinkedIn. Burr says that Facebook and Instagram have been the most successful so far, with 75% of their customers coming directly from those sites.

“It works well because there are different people that watch different types of things at different times,” she said of the content she posts on varying platforms.

A new study by Meta (which owns Facebook and Instagram) revealed

that women-led businesses are leading the way with online tools.

Globally, 57% of women-led SMBs (small and midsize businesses) report using digital tools to communicate with customers, compared to just under half of businesses led by men. Nearly half of US women-led SMBs report making at least 25% of their sales digitally, and over the last year, 73% of Facebook Groups related to entrepreneurship in the US have been created by women, according to the study.

Being a woman-owned business can be hard because of all of her obligations, Burr says.

“It’s definitely challenging working full time, helping with the kids and doing the business,” she said.

But, being able to show her children the value of hard work and community connections that comes with owning your own business is worth it to Burr.

“There’s a lot with owning your own business that you can teach your own kids,” she said. “We’re trying to really focus with the kids on showing them the different aspects of owning your own business.”

Driver strikes three elk on Evergreen Parkway

BY OLIVIA JEWELL LOVE OLOVE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Three cow elk were struck by a vehicle on March 9 on State Highway 74 in Evergreen.

State Patrol and Jefferson County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to the call at 10:56 a.m. of a wildlife-vehicle collision. The driver of the vehicle was not injured, but the vehicle was totaled. According to two deputies on the scene, two elk were killed by the crash, and the third had to be euthanized by Deputy Frahm.

“If an animal is not able to be mobile and/or eat, then we have

to euthanize it,” said Deputy Carmikle, who also was on the scene.

Colorado Department of Transportation removed the animal carcasses from the scene. State Patrol says it will not be pursuing an investigation at this time.

Carmikle and Frahm remind drivers to be alert and aware while driving in areas of high wildlife density.

“Expand your vision; paying attention to what’s on both sides of the road on both sides,” Frahm said.

“Especially on the parkway and on 285 and 73, you have to be extra vigilant,” Carmikle added.

News from Inter-Canyon, Evergreen fire boards

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Both Inter-Canyon and Evergreen fire officials will move forward with building replacement stations despite construction costs being higher than expected.

Both departments are making plans to build smaller stations that meet the budgets they have set.

• For Evergreen, that means the new Station 1 on Highway 73 south of Buffalo Park Road will be about 16,500 square feet rather than 18,000 square feet to meet the $7 million budget.

Evergreen Fire/Rescue has moved from macro-design to microdesign of its new station that will replace the station on Highway 73 near downtown Evergreen. The department is in a time crunch to build a new station because Jefferson County is planning to widen Highway 73 from Buffalo Park Road to Plettner Lane in 2023.

• For Inter-Canyon, that means its new Station 3 on U.S. 285 will be built in two phases, with the first phase including four rather than six truck bays and office space, crew quarters and a training room to meet its $5 million budget. It will wait to rebuild Station 1 on South Turkey Creek and Deer Creek Canyon Road.

Inter-Canyon Fire Chief Skip Shirlaw told the fire board on March 9 that officials are working with two contractors. They are cre-

ating the plans, so an addition can be constructed at a later date.

“I really think we can accomplish this,” Shirlaw said. “We’re back on track.”

In January, Inter-Canyon officials said they needed to go back to the drawing board because a bid for Station 3 came in at twice the price the district budgeted. The money budgeted for Station 1 will now go to the first phase of Station 3.

Shirlaw said contractors are being told Inter-Canyon wants to move into the new Station 3 in February 2024.

Inter-Canyon Fire 285 Corridor departments want consultant to help with consolidation effort The chiefs of the four 285 Corridor fire departments plan to ask their boards to hire a consultant to help present the idea to constituents.

Inter-Canyon, Elk Creek, Indian Hills and North Fork fire departments are considering consolidation, and Inter-Canyon Chief Skip Shirlaw told the fire board on March 9 that the chiefs are stuck on how to move forward.

“We’re looking for a consultant to ‘herd us cats’ in all the work we’re trying to do,” Shirlaw said, including how to get information out to residents in the four districts about the proposed consolidation, whether to consider a mill-levy increase and more.

A more specific proposal will be brought to the fire boards in April.

Looking for drones Inter-Canyon Fire continues to work with Foothills Fire in Genesee to move forward with using drones to aid in firefighting.

Capt. John Mandl told the InterCanyon fire board on March 9 that the two fire departments were learning more about drones, their cost and their capabilities, and they hope to buy a couple that could be used by all foothills fire departments through mutual aid.

Board president Mike Swenson said the growth of drone usage by various industries is increasing dramatically, saving money and providing better information faster.

Drones can be used to assess slash-pile burning, structural fires, wildfires and more, Mandl said.

Waiting to fill a vacancy The Inter-Canyon fire board has decided not to replace board member Dmitriy Pantyukhin, who recently resigned, until after the May 3 election. Four people are running for three seats on the board. The board plans to appoint someone to the fourth position position after the election.

home construction and renovations that change 50% of the home.

Fire inspector Rachel Rush told the EFR board on March 8 that in the past, homes that were 3,000 square feet or larger needed sprinklers.

“This will make everyone safer,” Rush said. “It gives people a better chance to get out of a house in case of a structure fire.”

SWOT analysis Evergreen Fire/Rescue officials have been working with a committee of volunteers to complete a SWOT — strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats — analysis of the department.

The highlights, Deputy Chief Bill Cronk told the EFR board on March 8, include: strengths: the variety of backgrounds and experiences of the volunteers, strong training program and community support; weaknesses: barriers to recruiting, low volunteer numbers and the department’s resistance to change; opportunities: bringing firefighters who live in Evergreen but work in other fire departments on board as volunteers in Evergreen; threats: recruiting methods, difficulty trying new things and making changes.

Cronk said the volunteers are excited about changes to recruiting methods, which have been successful this year with up to 50 recruits expected to join the volunteer ranks in the next six to nine months.

Get Away Going Away

Family vacations are a great way to bond and take a step back from the hectic schedules that accompany everyday life, but sometimes time or money (or both) make planning an elaborate trip a non-starter.

However, a staycation – a vacation you take right in your hometown (or nearby) – can be much less expensive and fit into nearly any amount of available time with the added bonus of skipping out on potentially stressful travel.

Consider these staycation ideas to take advantage of your local area’s attractions and prove you don’t have to go far to spend quality time together.

Visit local landmarks. Just because it’s not a traditional vacation doesn’t mean you can’t pretend to be tourists. Start by visiting the places you recommend to friends and family from out of town or pick up a city guidebook to uncover hidden spots you may

PHOTO COURTESY GETTY IMAGES

not even know exist. Make a plan to seek out historic sites, visit local landmarks like museums or try an out-of-the-way restaurant (or two) you’ve never eaten at before.

Camp out in the backyard.

Camping doesn’t have to be done far from home. In fact, it can be done right in your own back-

yard. Pitch a tent to sleep under the stars and plan a night full of traditional camping activities like roasting s’mores, telling spooky stories by flashlight and trying to identify stars and constellations.

Set up a picnic in the park. Pack a basket with sandwiches, fruit and other treats and head to the park. You can enjoy a casual meal

then take advantage of the open space for a family walk or game of tag before retreating to the playground to let the little ones expel any leftover energy.

Have a home spa day. If you’re looking for some relaxation but don’t want to splurge on the full spa treatment, plan an at-home oasis instead. Light some candles, run a bubble bath and break out the facial masks and fingernail polish.

Visit an amusement park. No matter where you live, there’s probably an amusement or water park within driving distance. A quick online search before you arrive can help prepare a strategy for hitting the most popular thrill rides and waterslides while skipping those that may not provide quite the same entertainment value.

Joint custody CONIFER — Mommy and Daddy have been dating for about seven years, and parents for less than one.

Mommy and Daddy used to enjoy sharing a doobie together, but now that baby-makes-three, Mommy has banned bud from their bungalow.

Thing is, Daddy likes his dope, and continues to toke despite Mommy’s decree. Not surprisingly, their differing views on reefer vis a vis responsible parenting eventually occasioned a call to the cops. Mommy told deputies she doesn’t feel “comfortable” having pot around her papoose, and she “doesn’t like him holding the baby when he’s high.” Asked what he thought about Mommy’s concerns, Daddy was entirely unconcerned. Mommy is “emotionally unstable,” Daddy said, and the only reason he’s with her at all is “for the sake of the baby.” But by calling the sheriff’s office, Daddy declared, Mommy had harshed his buzz utterly and irrevocably, and officers stood by as he packed up his bong and boogied.

Stranger among us EVERGREEN — Even as the watchful woman gazed out upon her little slice of the West, a pair of cars hove into view. One, a hasty Honda Civic, was shamelessly “tailgating” the other, a discourteous practice of which Watchful strongly disapproves. “Children live here!”

Watchful informed Honda. “Go rent somewhere else!” Honda hollered back. Watchful reported the incident to JCSO, providing Honda’s license plate number and physical description, 40 years old, more or less, with a full beard. Watchful was certain Honda was a stranger to those parts.

“I know all my neighbors,” she explained. Deputies traced the license plate number to Watchful’s neighbor, Honda, and told her they lacked grounds to pursue the case, which Watchful found disappointing. “He called me a Karen,” she huffed.

De-branded EVERGREEN — Shopping for a lariat and some spurs at a Westernflavored store, the visiting Texan

was dag-nabbed to return to his pickup truck and find that his front Lone Star license plate had been rustled. Fact is, Texas drawled to deputies, he had no idea when or where the plate was pinched, but he figgered it was probably stolen within the previous 72 hours, and probably from the driveway of his local bunkhouse-away-from-home.

With nothing to show on the Western-flavored store’s surveillance tapes, officers documented the theft and rode off into the sunset.

Signing out EVERGREEN — The morning of Feb. 17 dawned cold, and she was pleased to pour herself a great big cup of convenience-store coffee. She was not pleased to exchange cash for her caffeine, so the clerk called the cops. She freely admitted selfcomping her cuppa, telling deputies the convenience store “should care more about people than about money.” Not about to be drawn into a debate about business models, officers instead asked her if she knew

anything about the recent theft of an American flag from JCSO’s mountain substation, a crime for which she was already a suspect.

Yeah, she shrugged. “I was playing ‘capture the flag.’” When deputies wondered if maybe they could have the flag back now, she directed them to “a shopping cart near the First Bank in Conifer.” Returning to the matter at hand, officers advised that she was no longer welcome at the money-loving business and asked her to sign a citation for theft of coffee. She demurred, explaining that “I’m saving my signature for marriage.” She got the citation anyway, and deputies steered south toward the First Bank in Conifer.

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.

Without public notices, the government wouldn’t have to say anything else.

Public notices are a community’s window into the government. From zoning regulations to local budgets, governments have used local newspapers to inform citizens of its actions as an essential part of your right to know. You know where to look, when to look and what to look for to be involved as a citizen. Local newspapers provide you with the information you need to get involved.
