King-Murphy Elementary School’s new principal is ready to embrace the school and the community, and she wants to spread the word about the educational opportunities there.

TJ Bonham, who was the principal at Stevens Elementary School in Wheat Ridge, was hired a few months ago to head the Clear Creek school near Stagecoach Boulevard and Witter Gulch Road with input from educators, parents and students.

Clear Creek Superintendent Karen Quanbeck is thrilled that Bonham has taken the helm of the school, saying Bonham’s strengths, passion and skill sets match what the community said it wanted.

Bonham helped Stevens Elementary move to expeditionary learning, the learning model that KingMurphy is moving toward. Plus, Quanbeck said, Bonham is all about community.

“That’s one of the things we need to do at King-Murphy,” Quanbeck noted.

Garden Club tour on July 16 It’s time for the Evergreen Garden Club’s home garden tour.

The bi-annual tour, which was canceled in 2020 because of the pandemic, is back featuring six gardens.

The tour is from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. July 16. Tickets, which are $20 for adults and free for children under 12, are available at evergreengardenclub. org or at Nellybelle General Store in Bergen Park and Sundance Gardens on Meadow Drive in Evergreen.

Tickets also are available the day of the tour at the Evergreen Fire/ Rescue Administration Building, 1802 Bergen Drive, which is where attendees check in.

Louise Heern, garden tour chair, said the tour is the perfect way for people to see the possibilities when gardening at high altitude, which is more challenging than gardening down the hill.

“The gardens (on the tour) are very diverse this year,” Heern said.

“Some have vegetables, some have rock gardens. We’re just trying to show that you can still enjoy gardening despite some of the obstacles here.”

Artists will be painting, and musicians will be performing at most of the gardens on the tour, Heern said.

The high-altitude garden tour has been a mainstay for Evergreen and the Evergreen Garden Club since 1986.

The Evergreen Fire/Rescue board learned on May 12, less than 48 hours after being sworn into office, that there were issues with the liquor store owner’s lease in the former Evergreen Mountain Market, the property where the fire department plans to build a new Station 1.

EFR assumed all of the leases in 2019 when it purchased the property, and the only tenant remaining on the original lease is the liquor store.

According to the lease, the liquor store owner has an option to renew the lease for an additional five years, and the owner has filed his intent to use the option.

Fire Chief Mike Weege told the fire board that the district was unsuccessful in renegotiating the lease that would remove the extension,

and the previous owner also had been unsuccessful. Weege said he and the district’s Station 1 Committee assumed the lease would expire on Oct. 31, 2022, since the district informed the liquor store tenant the building would be demolished shortly thereafter.

The fire board requested that the district’s regular counsel stop working on the issue since it voted to hire a real estate attorney and has also put a hold on design plans with the department’s architect, F+D International.

The fire board plans to discuss the issue further at the 5:30 p.m. June 14 board meeting at the Evergreen Fire/Rescue Administration Building, 1802 Bergen Parkway.

PRINCIPAL FROM PAGE 1

Quanbeck said Bonham was one of three candidates interviewed for the position, explaining that all three candidates were highly qualified. Bonham replaces Tony Pascoe, King-Murphy’s principal since fall 2017, who left at the end of December to lead the elementary school at the International School of Florence in Italy.

Bonham spent some time at the school in the spring in preparation for taking over as principal in July.

She called King-Murphy an amazing school.

“We need more people to know about the opportunities there,” Bonham said. “There are so many possibilities for students to explore in so many different ways. I want everyone to know about it. This is a hidden treasure.”

Bonham and her husband will be moving to the area. She has a son still in high school and the couple have four adult daughters between

them.

Bonham worked in the education software industry before becoming a teacher and then an administrator.

She has been a principal for eight years.

“This is a dream job,” she said.

“The kids are amazing: so kind, so fun and so interesting. The staff is energized and ready to go. They embrace change and what’s good for kids.”

Bonham said every facet of education fascinates her, though what he loves most is being with the students, calling it joyful.

The King-Murphy students took a field trip to Stevens Elementary for a day of activities before the school year ended, and Bonham hopes the Stevens students will travel to KingMurphy this year.

She called herself energetic and passionate, enjoying bringing the community into the school.

“School is a place to come together and find common ground,” Bonham said. “I want parents to help with and experience education so we can really grow a community of learners and explorers.”

EVERGREEN PARK & RECREATION DISTRICT BRIEFS

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Prioritizing rec district projects A discussion about how the Evergreen Park & Recreation District should use a two-acre property on Highway 73 turned into a discussion about prioritizing projects districtwide.

Board member Monty Estis at the May 31 board meeting suggested that the board and staff should create a plan for what should be put on the property, which is at the northeast corner of Highway 73 and Malamute Drive. The district received the property two years ago, and Estis said he wanted to see EPRD do something with it.

When the district received the property, officials met with neighbors who preferred uses that didn’t generate a lot of traffic or noise such as tennis or pickleball courts. Estis wondered if district officials could make decisions about the property or whether they needed to host community meetings or poll the community about what it wanted on the property.

Board members suggested holding a special meeting soon to create a list of both the large and small projects needed in the district and to begin prioritizing them followed by working on a strategic plan.

Saying goodbye to outgoing members Evergreen Park & Recreation District’s board of directors lauded the work of the outgoing board members, who were term limited and could not be reelected to their seats.

FISHING

The Zendig Family Presents

FROM PAGE 1

Parks and Wildlife.

The Smiths often teach kids, groups from nursing homes, senior centers and more. Today Ron was helping some kids get set up with rods and bobbers.

“It’s those kids that make it all worthwhile,” Ron said.

Kids were not the only ones fishing, however. Friends Andres Munoz, Maxwell Freeman and Alex Volkova were trying their hand at fishing for the first time, too.

“I’ve been wanting to learn how to fish … it’s a little intimidating if no one taught you,” Munoz said.

That’s why he decided to come to the fishing clinic at Staunton after seeing a flier in the park. And he thought his friends would enjoy it too.

“Just getting bites is exciting!”

Freeman said. A minute later, he reeled in a trout.

Ron made sure to remind the anglers that before touching the trout, one needs to wet their hands so as to not remove the protective slime barrier the fish have on them. Some anglers opt to use a net to handle trout for this reason.

report, they stocked Davis Ponds as recently as last week with 10 inch trout. CPW shared a video in March of what the stocking process looks like from its end.

“There’s no rush like getting a bite on your hook,” Munoz said.

The friend group, who live in Englewood and Denver, said coming up to Staunton State Park is a great way to enjoy the mountains close to home. They said that the primitive practice of fishing was even more entertaining that their usual media consumption.

“It’s crazy how something so repetitive is so calming,” Volkova said.

The group learned fishing basics like setting the hook, and their practice began to pay off. Everyone got bites, and Freeman reeled in multiple fish.

VOICES

Colorado means more dog years for fur babies

C

olorado mountain dogs are just plain lucky, even if they don’t know it (but they totally do know it, I am convinced!). Growing up in the South, I conducted regular flea and tick searches on my dogs, often finding a tick as fat as a grape hidden in the soft fur behind the dogs’ ears.

Our first dog was a tiny, goldenhaired spaniel named Dusty.

Cocker spaniels have long fur that can effectively hide a burgeoning population of fleas long enough for the leaping blood-suckers, half the size of a grain of rice, to colonize the carpet in my bedroom, much to my mother’s horror. Add some painful horsefly bites and sweltering weather, and the dogs might yearn for something better.

Enter the Colorado mountains, land of cool air and negligible humidity, where the bugs are sparse and opportunities for exploration are infinite. With an authentically pet-friendly culture, Colorado welcomes dogs at restaurants, hotels and hiking trails, which are occu-

INSIDE THE OUTDOORS

pied by a never-ending stream of happy dogs accompanied by happy people.

Psychology Today’s Gwen Cooper writes, “If there is a purer, less complicated joy than that of making an animal happy, I have yet to experience it.

Christie Greene There’s something deeply fulfilling about knowing that, even in a complicated and often unkind world, you’ve managed to create a pocket of perfect security and bliss for at least one small creature.”

Indeed, an article in USA Today revealed that Colorado is among the states with the longest lifespan for dogs, averaging over 11 years.

Before we turn to our pets triumphantly (look where we brought you to live!), we must address one grave concern. Dogs are descended from wolves, but that does not mean they have the slightest clue how to

conduct themselves if face to face with one.

The list of potential hazards in the mountains is daunting, including ticks, rabies, giardia and the growing threat of heartworm. Imbedded porcupine needles are excruciating, and rattlesnake bites are life-threatening. Bears, cougars, coyotes, owls and raccoons can be perilous. The gentle eyes of mule deer bely a propensity for aggression that can be fatal for dogs in close proximity. Elk are notoriously hostile during calving and rutting seasons as seen on myriad videos recorded by visitors to Evergreen Lake.

Pets can also be harsh on our natural environment. Dog waste contains nitrogen, phosphorus, E.coli and fecal coliform that can enter streams and lakes. Cats can have a disastrous effect on songbird populations, and dogs have a fondness for chasing wildlife. Deer and elk, if fleeing from dogs during winter months, must use fat reserves to escape, jeopardizing their chances at surviving until spring.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

In fact, Colorado Parks & Wildlife is tasked with enforcing a law that protects wildlife from injury due to dog behavior, stating, “It is unlawful for any person to knowingly or negligently allow a dog to harass wildlife, whether or not the wildlife is actually injured by such dog. Any person who violates this is guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction thereof, shall be punished by a fine of two hundred dollars. A Colorado wildlife officer or other peace officer may capture or kill any dog he or she determines to be harassing wildlife.” This is a sobering message and one that we all must heed.

Wild birds prefer indoor cats, and deer appreciate leashed dogs. Happily, the pitfalls of mountain living can be alleviated by simply grabbing a leash and a plastic bag as you walk out the door. We can create that pocket of perfect security and bliss for our pets while respecting our majestic surroundings and all who share it with us.

ABOUT LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Eyesore Bouchard says one benefit [presumably to the location FSBR proposes to devastate] is that the forest canopy will conceal the trails themselves, which would be only six to 12 feet wide. The only visible improvements would be the base lodge and the chairlift.

Evergreen forests don’t grow canopies; rarely do deciduous forests. The term canopy is typically reserved for rainforests. Since there is no canopy, it cannot “conceal.” Area residents know pines, spruces, firs and aspens do not grow so closely together that they block all lines of sight.

Depending on one’s location, portions of every road and utility easement around one’s home are visible. At least some of FSBR’s trails will be as wide as our roads and wider than our easements. There will be maintenance roads. The elevation change across the proposed development will not conceal, but reveal the multimillion dollar private development that is FSBR. Clear-cutting dense forest for a massive lodge and wide parking lot; cutting a swath from the creek bottom nearly to Christopher Drive to accommodate a chairlift: these cannot be called improvements. Stark buildings, the lift visible from miles away, and over 16 miles of trails and maintenance roads scarring the mountainside at the expense of hundreds of acres of natural forest and wildlife habitat can only be called an eyesore.

The public comment period, restricted already by the designation of FSBR as a public entity, is approaching.

G. Scott O’Connell, Conifer Support Lisa Cutter, support food pantries As a community volunteer, I have seen firsthand how the pandemic exponentially increased the need for assistance from our local food pantries. And that is also true statewide. The website feedingcolorado.org notes that “Feeding America estimates that food insecurity in Colorado has increased by nearly 20 percent due to the pandemic. That means one in eight people – almost 700,000 of our neighbors, including nearly 185,000 children – is unable to access the food they need….”

Food pantries are a lifeline, providing basic needs to our Colorado residents during these difficult times.

Rep. Lisa Cutter (HD 25) has taken a leadership role in ensuring that Coloradans have access to healthy food.

In the legislative session just ended, she sponsored HB22-1364, Food Pantry Assistance Grant Program, which will extend Colorado’s existing food-pantry grant and allocate an additional $5 million to the fund. Now running for Senate District 20, Cutter not only supports immediate assistance but continues to work on longer term economic issues – for example, creating new jobs and reducing costs for small business owners – this bill will help families eat better now.

Please join me in supporting Lisa Cutter, an advocate for the health and safety of all Coloradoans.

What’s that buzz? A pollination syndrome in your garden

J

une is the time of year gardeners of the Denver-metro area are busy growing crops in hopes of an end-of-summer bounty of fruits and veggies to be harvested. Leading up to this harvest, gardeners tend diligently by fertilizing, pinching and, of course, watering. But there is one more thing that is essential to a good backyard harvest, and that is the right pollinator to finish the job. In this day of age, it is no secret that we rely on pollinators for plant biodiversity and crop sustainability. But did you know it sometimes takes a specific pollinator to be able to fertilize those veggie flowers in your garden?

Some pollinators, specifically certain species of solitary bees and bumblebees, use distinct vibrations made by contracting their flight muscles to help extract pollen from flowers. They hold on tight to the flower and start vibrating away — in doing so, the bees incidentally fertilize flowers as they busily visit them.

This term is known as buzz pollination, or floral sonication.

This is important because in some flowers’ morphology, the pollen is crammed tightly into the anther the part of the plant that holds the pollen - and can only be released from the tip through pores or slits (the technical term is poricidal).

The classic example one can think of is by looking at a nightshade family (i.e. Solanum, or tomato) flower, where the pollen is tucked away in the center yellow, column-like tubes

protruding from the flower. Without sonication, most insects are unable to access the nutritious pollen that is packed in this way. But, in buzzing and booming away at the perfect frequency and amplitude, bumblebees can access this nutritious meal and meanwhile drop off pollen from earlier stops they make, therefore fertilizing flowers as they go.

As mentioned above, not all pollinators are capable of this buzz pollinating. Only about half of all bee species can generate the frequencies required to release pollen — this buzzing mechanism is restricted to bumblebees and many types of solitary bees. Oddly enough, honeybees are unable to pollinate in this manner. Although the honeybees can do some of the pollinating, they are not as efficient in producing the same high crop yields that the bumblebees can.

The type of flower morphology that requires buzz pollination assistance is also limited to certain species of flowering plants — the more well-known ones include tomato, eggplant, tomatillo, kiwi and blueberry. If your veggie garden is full of tomatoes and eggplant, that means a lot of it will necessitate bumblebees and solitary bees to ensure flowers are fertilized with resulting fruits being made. There is, however, still room for the bustling honeybee in the veggie garden.

Some crops do not have a need for those special mechanical vibrations to access pollen, including squashes and gourds.

Physalis philadelphica, a tomatillo, is an example of a flower that requires buzz PHOTO BY BROOKE PALMER pollination to ensure fertilization.

Next time you hear those humble, bumbling bumblebees happily a-buzzing away in the garden beds, hopefully you will give some praise and remember their important role to the crops we grow and eat every

day.

Foothills Fire’s fluffy food fundraiser fundamental for firefighting finances

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

While the Front Range has gotten a reprieve recently, the longterm drought has made the fire season longer and more dangerous.

Residents can do their part to help a Golden-area department by eating pancakes.

On June 5, Foothills Fire & Rescue hosted its annual pancake breakfast fundraiser, which raises about $20,000 for the fire protection district that serves Lookout Mountain, Idledale, Mount Vernon and sections of the Genesee and Morrison area.

About 1,200 people attend annual event at the Lookout Mountain station. This year’s event featured a myriad of family friendly activities like firetruck rides, dog adoption, fire extinguisher demonstrations, a silent auction and more.

Ronda Cameron, president of Foothills Fire Auxiliary, said event proceeds go toward purchasing equipment or funding training opportunities for the department’s 32 volunteer firefighters and five paid staff members.

The auxiliary bought $7,000 stabilization tools for the department two weeks ago. Cameron described how auxiliary members were initially hesitant to make such a large-scale purchase but decided to go ahead because the pancake breakfast was approaching.

For those who missed out on June 5’s plain, blueberry and chocolate chip pancakes, there are other ways to support Foothills Fire & Rescue or firefighters in general.

Those who live in-district and are able can become volunteer firefighters. Additionally, Foothills Fire Auxiliary is open to anyone who wants to help, not just those who live in-district, Deputy Chief Kyle Vaughn said.

“When that tone goes out, someone has to respond,” he said of needing more firefighters and auxiliary members.

He and Chief Alan Anderson also asked everyone, regardless of

where they live, to ensure there’s defensible space around their homes so firefighters can protect it if a large-scale fire happens. Anderson said the Jeffco Open Space slash program is a great way to dispose of extra fuels around a structure.

Residents should also practice fire drills and figure out their evacuation plans, they said. They’re also welcome to donate to Foothills Fire & Rescue on its website.

But more than anything, people

should report any columns of smoke. The earlier firefighters can respond, the better. Vaughn and Anderson said people shouldn’t hesitate to call something in, especially when it’s dry and windy.

Judy Bertrand, who lives in the Genesee area, has two sons who’ve served as firefighters. One is now a Foothills Fire Auxiliary member and was helping with the pancake breakfast, she said.

Bertrand also asked that anyone who’s able serve as either a volunteer or paid firefighter.

“We don’t give (firefighters) enough credit,” Bertrand said.

A dog sports a toy firefighter helmet during the June 5 pancake breakfast at Foothills Fire & Rescue’s Lookout Mountain station.

“Most of them are volunteers. … We need more people to become firefighters.

As she and her 2-year-old grandson Benton were walking around the booths and activities, Bertrand said this year’s pancake breakfast might be the biggest one she’s seen.

She’s been to five or six of them, she estimated, adding that it really brings the community together.

The event’s a big hit among families, including many who don’t live in the district.

Thomas Parsons and his 2-yearold Simon, who live in the Golden city limits, decided to check out the event after Parsons saw a flyer in a

coffee shop. While his older daughter missed out, Parsons said Simon was excited.

“We thought it’d be cool to see the firetrucks — we didn’t know we’d get to ride in one,” Parsons continued.

Lakewood’s Abigail Wenk, 9-month-old Rory and their family were newcomers also. They were looking forward to seeing the alpacas and dogs, taking a ride on the firetruck, and seeing the Flight for Life helicopter.

But, as Wenk said while the family was sitting down with plates of breakfast foods: “Pancakes first.”

We all have our own reasons for sometimes preferring the company of books to the real world. However, while it is unfair to suggest that those who enjoy reading are isolated by nature, there are still times when any of us experience feelings of loneliness, loss, and longing, and it helps to know that there are plenty of books to turn to if we need someone or something to relate to in those moments.

This kind of loneliness is a powerful force in the lives of all three protagonists in A Town Called Solace. Whether it is caused by grief, confusion, or simply an inability to connect with others, it haunts them and ultimately drives them toward each other. A young girl waits steadfastly for her missing sister to return home; a dying woman narrates her memories and experiences to her late husband; and a man leaves everything he has ever known to hide away in a tiny town in Northern Canada where he can procrastinate making decisions about his future. As their motivations become clear and they replay the steps that have led each of them to where they are, the seemingly thinly connected plots begin to intersect and influence each other in surprising ways.

This novel carries a feeling of incompleteness, truly illustrating the fact that we are only witnessing a brief period of each character’s life. It plainly shows that a decision made in a moment of despair can permanently affect someone’s destiny, but it leaves the extent of the change partly up to the reader’s imagination. The narrative approach of alternating perspectives captures the child’s struggle to understand, the old woman’s wry reflectiveness, and the untethered man’s ennui, offering readers a wide range of emotions and situations – from the mundane to the devastating – to connect to, empathize with, and relate back to themselves.

That connection and empathy is what keeps us coming back and lets us feel understood, even at our lowest points. For that reason, no matter how incomprehensible it may be to those who never found a passion for it, reading remains the truest and quickest path a dedicated book lover can take to feel less alone.

Cathy Jones named Evergreen Arts Person of the Year

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When Evergreen artist Cathy Jones served on the committee selecting the Arts Person of the Year for Center for the Arts Evergreen, she thought there were many deserving artists to get the honor.

She was surprised when CAE gave her the award on June 4.

Jones, a CAE volunteer for 15 years, has done anything she’s been asked to do, according to CAE Executive Director Lisa Nierenberg.

“She’s been such a dedicated volunteer, advocate, instructor, artist and community leader,” Nierenberg explained. “We never ask twice with Cathy. She is the first to raise her hand (to volunteer). She is so generous. She is a volunteer who is so kind and so dedicated to the work we do.”

Jones sat at a table at Day of the Arts behind the CAE gallery, showing some of her watercolor and acrylic paintings, primarily of nature, and accepting congratulations from friends.

Jones’ husband, Rick, agreed that Cathy always talked about the many people who were worthy of the award.

“She is very special, not just to me but to the community,” Rick said.

“It’s been fun to watch her grow as an artist.”

Cathy said she was speechless that she received such a prestigious award, thinking when a CAE official called to tell her about the award

‘She is a volunteer who is so kind and so dedicated to the work we do.’

Lisa Nierenberg, CAE Executive Director

that she may have done something wrong.

Cathy’s work has been part of multiple exhibitions at CAE including the Rocky Mountain National Watermedia show, a yearly show that she co-chairs. She has taught watercolor classes both at the gallery and over Zoom. She also helps at every artwork delivery and unboxing day, and serves as a host for visiting artists, plus helps with the gallery’s capital campaigns.

The plaque about Cathy said: “In your inimitable style, you have provided graceful, bold and masterful leadership in bringing opportunities for creative expression and greater appreciation of the arts to the Evergreen mountain area. Your passionate commitment to enrich our lives is an inspiration to the entire community.”

BY MAYA DAWSON SPECIAL TO CANYON COURIER

Chalk scratches against concrete, a guitar strums from the stage and Center for the Arts Evergreen begins its third annual Day of the Arts.

The celebration on June 4 featured performances from local nonprofits, hands-on art projects for kids and local artists selling their work.

“We’re trying to make people understand that the arts center isn’t just for artists, it’s for the community,” CAE Board President Kristin Witt said.

A number of performers took the stage during the celebration, from local bands to theater and dance groups. For dancer Abigail Sackett from The Evergreen School of Ballet, the event was a chance to make up for performances that were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This is ironic, because without the pandemic, CAE’s Day of the Arts may never have existed. The event was originally called “Evening for The Arts” and was a formal event designed to recognize the CAE Arts Person of the Year. When the event needed to be moved outdoors as a COVID-19 safety precaution, organizers took it as an opportunity to redesign the event altogether.

“We decided to create something that could give back to the community,” CAE Senior Director of Exhibitions Sara Miller said.

Day of the Arts has done just that. This year CAE’s partnership with Sculpture Evergreen brought more hands-on opportunities to the celebration, like a workshop that encouraged kids to use recycled materials like Styrofoam, bottle caps and tennis balls to build their own sculptures. These completed sculptures are now on display at the CAE building.

The event’s hands-on elements are intended to create a love for art in children. Malcolm Mackay, 10, liked the event’s chalk-art competition the most. His drawing of a sandworm from the movie “Beetlejuice” earned him first place in the youth category of the competition, but Mackay believes art is about more than winning prizes.

“Art lets you put all of your emotions into the drawing,” Mackay

said.

Next to Mackay’s sandworm on the sidewalk outside of CAE is an intricate hummingbird, drawn in chalk by artist Kaylie Hall, who spent over four hours on the piece.

Experienced artists like Hall and potter Tanya Keith attended the event to showcase CAE’s different programs.

The organization’s next big event is the 2022 Summerfest, which will be July 23-24, but in the meantime, CAE has a number of workshops, concerts and art exhibitions. More information can be found online at evergreenarts.org.

“If you drive by this building and you’re thinking, ‘Gee, I’ve never been in there,’ you need to come in because you’ll be surprised,” Witt said.

High altitude native plant sale is a big hit The Evergreen Audubon put on its second annual native plant sale June 3

BY OLIVIA JEWELL LOVE OLOVE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Not all plants can survive the high altitude and sometimes unpredictable snowfall in the foothills environment, but some were born to live amongst the elk and occasional June flurry.

Evergreen Audubon hosted its second annual native plant sale on June 3. Volunteers spent months curating a plant list of high-altitude plants native to the area that are beneficial for pollinators.

Emma Vasicek, education director for Evergreen Audubon, said the purpose of the sale was to fundraise for Audubon, as well as provide education and outreach about native plants appropriate for the area.

“Our native plants are important for pollinators, for birds,” Vasicek said.

People were very eager for the sale and lined up five minutes before it started to get the best pick. Twenty minutes after the sale started, the group had already sold over half the plants.

“It’s good that folks are that interested in native plants,” Vasicek said.

Some plants that are not native to the area can sometimes be considered invasive species or even noxious weeds. Chris Pfaff, a gardener

Evergreen Audubon had a variety of native plants for sale on Friday.

and Audubon volunteer, said many thistles are considered noxious weeds.

Not only are the native plants important to the foothills environment, professional gardener and Audubon volunteer Andrea Furlong pointed out that they are vital for animals as well.

“The native creatures need the native plants,” Furlong said.

Furlong explained that some types of honeybees and other insects and animals need to feed on specific native plants.

Holly and Jon Deppe from Conifer have been members of Audubon for about a year. They decided to come to the sale to find plants suitable for their new home after moving up from the Denver area.

“Just wanted to get some native plants good for butterflies,” Holly said.

The pair knew a sale put on by Audubon would provide them with the knowledge they needed to buy the right plants for the area.

“This was a safe bet to get things that are native and not invasive,” Holly said.

Dede Wagner for HD25 The Republican Primary for CO House District 25 is coming up soon and you’ll be receiving your ballot in the mail any day. Both registered Republicans and Unaffiliateds may vote in the Primary.

I’m a Reagan Mountain Conservative Republican.

The other candidate is a Littleton Liberal who was redistricted into HD25. He has paved and plowed streets, sidewalks, streetlights, and a municipal water and sewer system. The city folks call animal control when a deer, elk, or bear enter their yards.

They’re also not concerned with forest fires.

My positions are crystal clear but my opponent doesn’t really say what he’s for or against and he presents himself one way as a candidate but then votes differently after being elected! He also votes 60% of the time with the Socialist Democrats. The proof is on my website under Issues/My Opponent.

I have been endorsed by State Rep. Patrick Neville, former Sen. Tim Neville, our former HD25 State Rep. Tim Leonard, and by R.M.G.O.

Many of the plants available attract pollinators like bees and butterflies.

Dear Davis Schilken, I’ve been watching a lot of T.V. the past few weeks due to the inclement weather. I can’t help but notice all the ads for “do it yourself Wills and Estate Planning.” Is this something that I should do if I don’t have a Will or Estate Plan in place for me and my family?

Sincerely, DIY Daryl Dear DIY Daryl, We always tell clients that having something is better than having nothing. However, be very cautious when it comes to “do it yourself” Wills and Estate Plans. Like most difficult things in life, the wisest thing to do is reach out to a professional. If you have a burst pipe or a blown fuse, you’re probably going to reach out to a Plumber or Electrician. Why wouldn’t you do the same for your family when it comes to your Estate?

You should always be hesitant when it comes to “do it yourself” legal documents. Legal documents such as Wills and Trusts are riddled with legalese that you have probably never seen before and wouldn’t understand anyway. While it may seem like a good idea from the outset, no Will, Trust, or Estate Plan is ever one size fits all. Below is a list of common mistakes when it comes to these types of documents: 1.

Unintended Disinheritance of Beneficiaries

2.

Misinterpreted or incorrect State specific legal language

3.

Improperly filled out forms

4.

Improper Tax Planning

5.

Lack of Disability or Death Planning

6.

Forced Formal Probate Proceeding

Do it yourself documents are not flexible. They don’t understand the complexity of your Estate Plan. You can, and likely will, overlook small and simple errors that will likely end up costing you and your loved ones more heartache and headache when the time comes. Compound this with the realization that your Estate Plan is not for you – it is for your loved ones. Why would you want to risk your family’s well being on such a preventable error?

If you want something done the right way, reach out to a licensed professional to ensure that you and your family are protected when the time comes. Contact Davis Schilken PC, with any of your Estate Plan needs (303)670-9855. We make estate planning simple!

Wildfire art creates beauty out of tragedy

BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Robert Nesladek carves wood.

He works in a sawdust-filled studio behind his house in Arvada, which he has owned for 47 years.

He uses two wood lathes to carve out bowls, vases and other works of art from wood charred by wildfires. One of those lathes was handed down from his grandfather to his dad, then to his uncle and now to him.

He started working with wood after he quit drinking.

“I had to find something to keep my hands busy,” he said.

Out of a devastating event, wildfire art aims to create something beautiful — a vase, a painting or a poem.

Nesladek transforms the wood burned by wildfires into beautiful shapes. He said burned wood takes on different characteristics because of the intense heat that dries out the log.

“It puts a lot of that charcoal gray color into the wood, and it just kind of runs through it,” he said. “It just is really nice to work with.”

Starting out, the wood is filthy.

“As soon as you touch it, you think ‘I’m not going to even mess with that stuff. It’s just nasty,’” he said. “But as soon as you get the bark off, it’s clean inside, and it’s dry.”

Nesladek turns the wood on the lathe quickly and shapes it with different chisels and blades. Once the burned charcoal coating the wood is removed, he starts to mold the center of the wood that endured intense heat but wasn’t directly touched the fire. After he reaches the shape he wants, he applies a clear stain.

“It amazes me how some-

thing so nasty, so devastating, can turn into something so beautiful,” Nesladak said.

Painting from within Creating art from wildfires can also help begin the healing process after such a tragedy.

For Alissa Davies, of Boulder, that involves intuitively painting emotions onto canvas.

After the Marshall Fire, Davies said she and her community felt an extreme sense of loss and fear.

“We’ve had these wildfires in our community, and every time the wind blows, we all feel this kind of collective trauma,” she said. “What’s going to happen to this place?”

Davies describes herself as an intuitive artist — stepping up to a canvas with no idea of what the end result will be. She looks inward to get in touch with her feelings and then paints.

After the Marshall Fire, she returned to her studio to begin addressing her emotions and out came Firescape 1, 2 and 3.

“We all are very affected by external events that happen around us,” she said. “(Painting) is just a highly therapeutic process for me.”

She said fires come with an immense, intense energy that she channeled into the paintings.

She said she experienced those feelings even though she didn’t lose a house to the fire, but instead, she channeled the hardships of those who did.

She champions art therapy programs in Boulder and surrounding communities where people can learn to get in touch with their emotions and put them onto paper.

Those programs give people space to freely create art. She touches on her semester in college at the Art Institute of Chicago where it wasn’t so free.

Her painting classes created an intense environment with critiques and competition from

professors and students.

The art therapy classes were different, she said, in that they created a more encouraging environment.

“There’s that level of acceptance,” Davies said. “Instead of thinking art is for the precious few, it gives people the view that we all really know what to do with paint. It might not be pretty, and it might not look like what’s in our head, but that’s OK, and it’s better that way.”

For those affected by the Marshall Fire, art therapy can begin those conversations, both verbal and not.

“It’s always important to talk it

out, but I think those nonverbal ways of expressing are equally as powerful and helpful,” Davies said.

Sometimes, it just takes a few breaths and a blank canvas.

To get in touch with her emotions before she paints, Davies mediates. While painting, she turns off her mind and moves very quickly.

“I’m constantly turning my canvas,” she said. “You can click over into that flow state, you know that feeling of when time kind of gets weird, it’s suspendSEE FIRE, P17

ed. It’s bliss.”

Burning wood Radha Marcum of Boulder started writing at age 7 on her mother’s typewriter. Fast forward to today, and she’s a poet creating poems rooted in ecological, social and personal landscapes of the American West.

“I grew up in the West, so wildfire has always really been in my awareness,” she said.

In 2019, she began writing more about wildfires. The burning of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris triggered her new topic.

She visited the cathedral with her husband within weeks of the roof burning. Replacing the ceilings, made of oak beams from Europe’s ancient forests, remains almost impossible because those forests are long gone, she said.

“At the same time that we were losing this magnificent humanmade structure, we were also losing nature’s cathedral,” she said.

“I think of the old growth forests in North America.”

It reminded Marcum of visiting the Redwood forests in Northern California.

“Thinking about the history of people who have been in these places, whether it’s a cathedral or a forest, there’s a sense of continuity, and so when you lose a forest or you lose a cathedral, you’re los-

PHOTOS BY LUKE ZARZECKI

ing that sense of continuity with ancestors and which people would come before you,” she said.

Hence, she started writing about wildfire, and the Marshall Fire made the topic even more personal for her.

“When it happens in your backyard, and when you’re watching the effects in real time, that I think is profound,” she said. “I think in art, and in poetry, in our writing, we have the opportunity to meditate on what is happening right here, right in front of us.”

For her, that can mean looking at specific changes in her surroundings. One example she points to is a poem about a plum tree in her backyard that she moved inside due to the drought.

Another poem looks at smoke drifts and ashes falling in her backyard. Those ashes, she said, are forests, people’s homes or wildlife. Some float in from other places.

“There’s a connection between different parts of the country, between you and the landscape, between the ecology, the trees, the wildlife,” she said. “We’re all affected by these events, whether or not they’re burning our structures, or they’re burning the forest.”

Marcum sees her poems as an invitation to readers to recognize the events happening around them. “(It’s about) connecting with what’s really going on, rather than being sort of numb and overwhelmed by the news or by statistics,” she said.

A case of the piles INDIAN HILLS – On May 9, neighbor Abel called JCSO to complain that neighbor Baker had piled a bunch of tree slash in his yard.

After surveying the mess, Deputy Charlie advised neighbor Baker to de-pile neighbor Abel’s property, pronto, or be charged with littering. Neighbor Baker said he’d get right on that, except that neighbor Abel called JCSO again on May 10 to complain that neighbor Baker’s sticks and scraps were still resting comfortably on his lawn. Witnessing the truth thereof, Deputy Delta asked neighbor Baker why he hadn’t removed the rubbish as required.

“I haven’t had time,” he shrugged.

Deputy Delta cited neighbor Baker for littering and third degree trespass. Neighbor Abel moved the pile himself.

Brawl in the family EVERGREEN – Finding himself on the losing side of a brotherly dispute, Peter called 911. According to Peter’s statement to deputies, his brother, Greg, who is allegedly “(flunking) nuts!” had socked him

in the eye. Pressed for details, Peter recounted how the previous evening he’d gone to snag a cigarette out of Greg’s car and had inadvertently set off the alarm. The incident appeared to anger Greg, although whether Greg was ticked-off because the alarm got tripped or because he was stealing smokes, Peter couldn’t say. Either way, tensions simmered all through the night and finally came to a hard boil at about 10 o’clock that morning. “(Flunk) you, man!” Greg had directed Peter, hotly. “(Flunk) yourself!” Peter had coolly replied. Perhaps unable to summon up a sufficiently forceful rejoinder, Greg settled for a vigorous right jab to Peter’s left ocular orbit.

Asked to either confirm or deny his brother’s allegations, Greg said sure, he popped the little creep, but “he was in my face.” As it turned out, Greg was mad about both the car alarm, which had awakened him and his lady friend out of a sound sleep, and the unauthorized appropriation of his smoking materials.

“If he wanted a cigarette he should have asked for one.” When officers requested an interview with Lady

Friend to confirm the details of the fight, Greg said he didn’t know the young woman’s name, exactly, but he did know she works at a restaurant somewhere, and if they wanted to give him a couple minutes he could probably find out which one.

In the end it didn’t matter what Greg’s anonymous lover called herself. Peter refused to press charges, and deputies refused to waste any more time on the matter.

The dread pirate Rogers EVERGREEN – How’s this for a con: On the afternoon of May 12, Mark answered a telephone call from what appeared to be a perfectly legitimate local phone number. On the other end was one “Lt. Rogers” of the “Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office.” Lt. Rogers accused him of missing jury duty and said there was a $1,000 warrant out for his arrest. In fact, Mark had recently “got out of jury duty” and believed it not impossible that he was wanted by the county. Lt. Rogers instructed him to withdraw $1,000 in cash from his bank, turn it into “Money Pack” cards at the nearest gas station,

and take the Money Pack cards to the Jefferson County Justice Center. Mark was just pulling into the TajMahal parking lot when he got a second call from a different apparently legitimate local phone number. The new caller told him he’d be arrested on the spot unless he took the Money Pack cards into the Justice Center lobby, stood “in the middle by the metal detectors,” and read off the card numbers over the phone. At last, and in the nick of time, Mark “realized it was a scam” and contacted genuine JCSO personnel. Deputies determined that no warrant for Mark existed, and that the two seemingly legitimate local phone numbers were “no longer in service.” The case was turned over to JCSO’s fraud unit and Mark vowed to be less trusting of ostensibly legitimate local phone numbers.

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.

Meet the Morrison Board: Trustee David Wirtz David Wirtz is ready to listen to residents during his first elected term on the board.

BY OLIVIA JEWELL LOVE OLOVE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After previously being appointed to the board, David Wirtz began his first elected term on the Morrison Town Board of Trustees in April.

Wirtz has lived in Morrison for 26 years, and in multiple neighborhoods in town. This gives him insight into what residents need from their elected representatives.

“I know a lot of people around town and I’m willing to listen to them and put their needs ahead of my own,” he said.

When he is not at board meetings or working his day job as a software developer, Wirtz enjoys hiking and

enjoying the outdoors in Morrison.

“I just like the open space up here towards Canyon Vista Drive,” he said.

He and his partner enjoy traveling the world and are excited to welcome an exchange student into their home in the coming months. They also run a popular YouTube channel about Tesla cars and solar energy.

Wirtz decided to run again for the board after his last appointed position to finish what he started. His long standing residency in Morrison is helpful to his position on the board.

“When I was nominated last year we started a lot of new projects...I just kind of wanted to continue on with what we had started,” he said.

Wirtz hopes to see less speeding in the town, hear the needs of the residents and of course wants to “keep Morrison Morrison.”

“I don’t have my own agenda, I’m just trying to help the town, listen to their problems and get the problems solved,” he said.

Two ceremonies honor the fallen in the foothills

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The foothills’ veterans were not forgotten on Memorial Day as community members attended two ceremonies to honor military.

Evergreen Memorial Park in Marshdale conducted its annual ceremony that included the dedication of its new graveyard solely for veterans and their families, while American Legion Post 2001 conducted its annual ceremony at Buchanan Park that includes the POW/MIA Empty Chair ceremony.

“We are honoring those who spent time in the service, so we can have the freedoms we enjoy,” said Ron Lewis, the master of ceremonies at Evergreen Memorial Park. “Freedom is a precious thing.”

emony that Memorial Day was set aside to honor men and women who have died or are missing in action.

“This program,” he told about 200 people attending, “is our way of sharing these losses with you.”

Evergreen Memorial Park ceremony At Evergreen Memorial Park, the ceremony was moved inside due to the high winds, yet attendees’ appreciation for the sacrifices of veterans and their families was unmistakable. The original intent was to show attendees the new area of the cemetery for veterans that will be like Fort Logan National Cemetery.

Lewis explained that the veterans’ area was a new start for Evergreen Memorial Park, saying it was gratifying to be part of military families’ lives and to honor those who served our country.

Jim Gorman told the group that 18 months ago, he and his wife were discussing where he would be buried, not wanting to be so far away as For Logan.

“I called Ron (Lewis) and told him I had an idea,” Gorman said. “Without any hesitation, he said, ‘Fine.

Let’s build a cemetery for veterans.’

He has done everything in his power to work with the federal government to make this happen.”

Gorman was happy that the foothills now has a cemetery solely dedicated to veterans and their families.

“We can give praise to those buried there,” he added.

Buchanan Park ceremony At the veterans memorial at Buchanan Park, the American Legion and Evergreen Rotary paid tribute to Dave Rommelmann, who among many things, was instrumental in

getting “The Sentry” statue designed and installed at the memorial. Rommelmann, a Vietnam War veteran and past commander of American Legion Post 2001, left his mark on many local service projects, according to Marianne Temple, president of Evergreen Rotary.

“This is an opportunity to honor Dave for his service to his country and his community,” Temple added.

This year’s ceremony focused on those who served in the Cold War conflicts from 1947 to 1991, many that are forgotten when people think about veterans’ service to the country, said Vern Steltzer, American Legion Post 2001 commander.

“The loss of one American to preserve our freedom is one too many,” Steltzer said. “There is no greater honor than a man or woman who lays down their life for another.”

Honoring the fallen Scout Jake Greilick, 7, and Benton Wright, 9, place a flag next to a soldier’s grave at Evergreen Memorial Park.

Evergreen area Scouts place flags on graves of soldiers in honor of Memorial Day

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Scouts and their families took to the area’s two cemeteries May 27-28 to honor fallen soldiers by placing American flags on their graves.

On May 27, they placed 85 flags on graves at Bear Creek Cemetery, and on May 28, they placed close to 300 flags on graves at Evergreen Memorial Park. The Scouts hope the flags remind people to honor those who served the United States in the military on Memorial Day. On May 28, Scouts grabbed flags and maps to hunt for the soldiers’ gravestones.

“It’s important for (the Scouts) to understand what it means to serve your country,” said Den mom Priscilla Wright, noting that a family member had been shot down during the Gulf War. Scout Olivia Roberts, 7, explained that they were at the cemetery to honor veterans from areas of the military such as the Army and Air Force.

Charlie Scott, 10, a member of Pack 39, understood that the flags honored fallen soldiers who served their country. He and his mom, Andrea, moved around the cemetery with a map, placing flags along the way.

Andrea Scott explained that her husband was a veteran, so it was especially important for Charlie to learn about how people make sacrifices for their country.

“And,” she added, “(placing the flags) is a good way to give back.”

Scouts and their parents look for the graves of military at Evergreen Memorial Park. They place American flags on the gravesites in PHOTOS BY DEB HURLEY BROBST honor of Memorial Day.

Sculpting beauty in Evergreen New sculptures placed throughout town in annual event

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Downtown Evergreen was filling with the typical Saturday morning crowd on June 4 as artist Steve Landis watched his “Snow Queen” sculpture find its new home for the next 12 months.

Landis of Loveland winced as three workers from JH Welding

placed the 330-pound sculpture, just a little worried that she would topple over. Happily, the installation went smoothly, and she is watching over passersby outside of Holly Berry and Sisters and Company in downtown Evergreen.

“Snow Queen” is one of 11 new sculptures that will grace Evergreen and Bergen Park for a year as part of Sculpture Evergreen’s Sculpture Walk, and they will join 42 permanent sculptures and two from last year’s collection that will stay for a second year. Six new sculptures are in downtown; the rest are spread through north Evergreen.

“Snow Queen” is made of ceramic

and cement, and was inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s “Snow Queen” story that Landis’ mom read to him when he was a child.

“She had an antique book, and the pictures of the Snow Queen stuck in my head,” Landis said. “Now, all these years later, I’ve created her.”

The sculpture also had been displayed in Longmont, Alamosa and Denver before landing in Evergreen.

This is the first time Landis has had a sculpture in Evergreen’s Sculpture Walk, saying he thought “Snow Queen” would fit well, and he likes the other sculptures he’s seen in town.

Sculpture Evergreen President

Tricia Rosenthal said this year the selection committee members not only look for the best place to place the sculptures but now have an awareness of the crazy high winds that Evergreen has faced. Two sculptures sustained wind damage in the past year.

Keeping track of all of the sculptures and their locations is a nobrainer for Rosenthal, who knows where all of the installations are, including the two rotating sculptures that will stay a second year, and the bugling elk sculpture that moved from Church of the Cross on SEE SCULPTURE, P23

Meadow Drive to outside the Evergreen chamber office.

This is also the year that the Sculpture Evergreen in the Park project begins coming to fruition, creating a sculpture garden in Bergen Park to tie in with the sculptures at Center for the Arts Evergreen and at Buchanan Park.

One of the sculptures going into Bergen Park is “Russ Colburn and Dog” by Evergreen sculptor Tom Ware. The sculpture was donated

to Sculpture Evergreen by Forest Heights Lodge, which has closed.

For sculptor Shohini Ghose of Highlands Ranch, “Man,” which is in Bergen Park, is her third sculpture in Evergreen’s Sculpture Walk.

The bright-red sculpture shows the way man is depicted in cave paintings and motifs, she explained, and over time, they are still depicted with their arms and legs out. She selected red for the steel sculpture because red is an earth color like mud and iron.

Pati Stajcar of Golden watched “Ghost of the Oaks” being installed in Bergen Park, and she explained that she created the sculpture for a

patron in Virginia with a barred owl who sits in the white oak trees on his property.

Stajcar believes she was part of the first Sculpture Walk in 1999, and she had another piece in the walk a few years ago. She called the location for her sculpture in Bergen Park perfect, saying she wasn’t expecting the sculpture to be in a park.

“Our collection is really changing this year,” Rosenthal explained. “We have a couple new artists, which is exciting, a couple who come back year after year, and we have one artist who rediscovered us.”

She said one of the reasons Sculpture Evergreen is expanding the

number of sculptures in the parks is because it’s running out of locations to place sculptures.

“What seems to have really taken a positive turn is the collaboration we have been able to achieve with local property owners both public and private,” Rosenthal said. “We’ve come a long way in the last few years to make people understand the value of sculptures. We now have a lot of eager participation in displaying them. It hasn’t always been easy, and we had not always been able to place sculptures where we wanted to. Now doors are opening up to new possibilities, which is great.”

Construction on North Trail could start in September EPRD plans to request construction bids in July

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Evergreen Park & Recreation District should be ready by the end of June to advertise for contractors to build the new Evergreen Lake North Trail.

“The ice is thawing, and we’re starting to move,” Chris Vogelsang with OV Consultants, who is overseeing the project for EPRD, said at the May 31 board meeting. He expects a contractor will be hired by the end of July with construction starting in September.

Vogelsang said the job specifications require that a detour around the construction area can only be in place for 120 consecutive days, and the project must be completed in 300 days, at the latest by May 15 before the summer tourist season. The contractor will decide which 120 days in the 10-month construction period will have the detour.

The detour will have southbound traffic traveling on Evergreen Parkway and northbound traffic moving through downtown Evergreen and up Meadow Drive.

The contractor will be charged $3,000 per day for every day it goes over the 120-day limit or for every day it goes beyond May 15 to open the trail. He said despite the potential for inclement weather between

This is a drawing of what the Evergreen Lake North Trail is expected to look like when it is rebuilt later this year. COURTESY PHOTO

September and May, the engineers believe the work can be completed on time.

Vogelsang said there were no monetary incentives for early completion because he didn’t want EPRD to potentially have to spend substantial money to pay those fees, and board members added that early completion is good for a construction company because it can move on to the next project sooner. An EPRD board committee looking at the project will revisit the issue one more time.

Vogelsang said two big unknowns are whether there will be issues

with getting needed supplies for construction and how high the bids will be. The project is estimated to cost about $4.5 million, and EPRD has obtained grants from the Denver Regional Council of Governments, Colorado the Beautiful and local groups including the Evergreen Metropolitan District and the Evergreen Legacy Fund to pay for the work.

Now that construction is closer to a reality, Vogelsang promised to contact Jeffco Public Schools and first responders because the detour will impact bus routes, school traffic and emergency routes. Vogelsang

said he’s been meeting regularly with the Evergreen Area Chamber of Commerce and the Evergreen Downtown Business Association to provide updates.

Plans call for a 10-foot-wide concrete trail along Evergreen Parkway and a soft-surface trail along the lakeshore.

The Evergreen Lake North Trail was built in 1987, and in 2016, a portion of the trail collapsed, closing it for 19 months. EPRD staff managed to shore up the supports under the trail to reopen it.
