When bare feet bear a burden Upcoming Barefoot Mile fundraiser to raise money to combat child trafficking BY MAYA DAWSON SPECIAL TO CANYON COURIER
On July 20, Dr. Jeff Brodsky will have been barefoot for 12 years. No shoes. No socks. Ever. He’s been
barefoot in Africa at 110 degrees and in Alaska at -19 degrees, all in the name of fighting child trafficking. “If my going barefoot will motivate just one person to action in a way that helps to rescue even one more child, I will live barefoot the rest of my life,” Brodsky said. Brodsky is the president and founder of JOY International, a nonprofit organization based in Bailey that trains law enforcement, educates community members
and intervenes in child trafficking around the world. The nonprofit is funded exclusively by donations, and its Barefoot Mile fundraiser plays a huge role in fundraising. Upcoming fundraisers on July 23 in Littleton and Longmont and Aug. 27 in Marshdale will benefit the organization. Attendees will walk a mile barefoot in solidarity with impoverished and trafficked children to raise funds for JOY International.
Planting the seeds of high altitude gardening Evergreen Garden Club’s home garden tour inspires others BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Who says it’s impossible to grow flowers and vegetables at altitude? The six gardens in the Evergreen Garden Club’s High Altitude Garden Tour prove the naysayers wrong. From 7,600 feet to 8,600 feet in altitude, the gardens are not just beautiful, but magical in the bounty of color. For some of these gardeners, plants are an obsession — one called herself a “plant junkie” — while photographer and gardener Judy Black, who lives on Yankee Creek SEE GARDENING, P4
Registration for the event can be found at thebarefootmile.org. “I hate asking people for money, but I do what I hate to accomplish what I love, which is to see captives and those in bondage set free,” Brodsky said. On July 14, Brodsky spoke in Evergreen about his work. While only 10 people attended, the empty seats didn’t faze him. SEE BRODSKY, P5

GARDENING FROM PAGE 1
Road in Clear Creek County, says her gardens are an avocation. “I like having flowers in my photos,” she said, so she started planting them six years ago, with her eye for photographic detail helping her place them in such a way that the effects are stunning. She doesn’t concern herself with the plant names but with what looks good. Her gardens include cottage-style areas. “When we added a pickleball court (on the property), there was no landscaping there, so I added flowers there, too,” she explained. “When it rains, I just pull (plants) up and move them.” The effect is beautiful perennials and annuals in whites, yellows, greens, reds and purples. Gardener Cherie Luke got her plant inspiration from a woman who owned a daylily farm, and when she moved to Hiwan in 2013, she brought plants with her. Now, her garden has 50 different native, rare and favorite perennials. “I went to garden centers — I love them all — to find plants,” she said, noting that in warm weather, she walks her dog, eats breakfast and then works in her gardens that meander through her one-acre property. Interspersed among the flowers, greenery and vegetables are gnomes, wood carvings, a wheelbarrow, an arbor and other trinkets. Her favorite spot, she said, is sitting on her deck and looking over the creations. Gardener Pat Carter love plants — all of them — and she likes to add new and unusual plants to the gar-

dens around her home. She began her gardening quest after moving to Evergreen 50 years ago, specializing in rock, cottage, alpine and xeriscape styles. “Over the years, I have just added different plants,” she noted. “Some worked. Some didn’t. I’m just a plant junkie. If I see something I haven’t seen before, I buy it and plant it.” Carter volunteers at the Denver Botanic Gardens and is involved with the North American Rock Garden Society. She called planting at 7,600 feet fun because it’s so difficult and challenging. Her advice to those who want to garden in the foothills is to dig deep in the soil and then add compost, compost and more compost to make the soil more fertile. “Otherwise nothing will grow,” she said, adding that other gardeners can provide advice about the hobby they are so passionate about. “It’s hard to be successful, but on the other side, the results are so rewarding,” she said.

through its Colorado Strategic Wildfire Action Program or COSWAP, announced the grants on July 11. The idea behind the multi-organization grants is to continue the work because wildfires don’t stop at the boundaries between one property owner and another. They hope to work together to get mitigation done on large swaths of land, though each entity will get a share of the money to pay for mitigation work in its jurisdiction. “We need to keep small fires from becoming destructive wildfires,” Polis said at a news conference off of Upper Bear Creek Road. “It will take

individual responses by property owners, but it will also take larger projects to prevent fires from entering population centers.” The organizations are working toward having a line of mitigated properties running north and south on the west side of Evergreen and Conifer to combat wildfire since this area is considered the No. 1 spot at high risk for catastrophic wildfire. While the entities have not worked out the final maps, Jeffco Open Space plans to do additional work at Beaver Ranch in Conifer and Alderfer/3 Sisters in Evergreen. It has already done a lot of mitigation at Flying J Open Space Park, and Denver Mountain Parks has performed mitigation on neighboring property, according to JCOS Director Tom Hoby.
Jefferson Conservation District wants to mitigate areas in the Oehlmann Park/Pleasant Park area in Conifer, and Elk Creek and InterCanyon fire departments want to dovetail on that mitigation. Inter-Canyon Capt. John Mandl said some of the Inter-Canyon and Elk Creek money will go to private property owners who participate in their Wildfire Prepared assessments, especially those properties on the west end of Conifer. Evergreen Fire/Rescue expects that 400-500 acres of public and private property will be mitigated thanks to the grant. The Polis administration and the state legislature launched COSWAP in 2020 to invest $25 million in prioritizing and funding key mitigation projects to start on-the-ground work on fuels-reduction projects. COSWAP partners with the Mile High Youth Corps and the State Wildland Inmate Fire Teams to perform the work. “We need to up our game in terms of fire preparedness,” Polis said. “It’s more important than ever before.” Colorado DNR Executive Director Dan Gibbs reminded everyone at the news conference that the status quo is no longer enough, especially after the 2020 wildfire season and the Marshall Fire in Boulder County seven months ago. “We are one lightning strike, one unattended campfire away from … disaster,” he said.

“I’ve spoken to groups of one and I’ve spoken to groups of over 10,000,” Brodsky said. “I have an agreement with God that I never speak to empty chairs. Every empty chair he fills with an angel.” For Brodsky, religion is at the core of his work. As a Messianic Jew, his fight against child trafficking was inspired by a desire to serve God, but he emphasizes that it doesn’t matter what you believe if you have a desire to do good. Brodsky has spoken and traveled to 77 countries in the 41 years since he founded JOY International. In this time he has seen firsthand the horrific circumstances that make his work necessary, from the barefoot children living in a garbage dump in Cambodia that inspired him to go barefoot in solidarity to children being sold by their parents. Brodsky does not let these moments discourage him, though. He continues to look to the future, planning JOY International’s next projects and celebrating the good the organization has already done. “This, to me, is the greatest sound on earth,” Brodsky said, playing a video of children laughing and playing in the water from a new well JOY International funded in their village, eliminating the need for them to walk 10 miles each day along a dangerous route for water. “The joy on their faces over something that we did — we can’t measure that. Moments like that make all the hard times worth it,” Brodsky said. The nonprofit has rescued over 3,000 children, teens and young women, and funded programs that continue to aid many other children who are at risk. “Ten years ago, if you would have asked me, ‘What’s going to happen to JOY International when Dr. Jeff Brodsky dies,’ I would have said that it dies with me. Not anymore,” Brodsky said. As the organization continues to grow and become a larger force in the fight against human trafficking, Brodsky has high hopes for its future. Though he will turn 70 next

Dear Davis Schilken, I recently worked with an Attorney to help assist me with my Estate Planning. She suggested that I set up a trust. She constantly referred to “funding the trust,” but never explained what that means, or how to do it. Can you help? Sincerely, Frank Funding Dear Frank Funding, It’s always better to analogize funding a trust with a bank account. When we open a bank account, we typically deposit money into that account. If not, the account is virtually of no use to us. That is what we are doing with a Trust. The biggest thing to remember, is the why we’re funding. Often times Estate Planning Attorney’s recommend Trust planning for two main reasons: probate avoidance and privacy. While the concept works in theory, the only way to achieve those goals is to actually “fund” the trust. So how do we do it? The answer to that question is going to depend on what type of asset is being funded to our Trust. These assets may take many different shapes and forms. They can include property, cash accounts, stock accounts, investment accounts, businesses or business interest, vehicles, boats, houses, rental properties, etc.
LOOKING FOR A HOME RUN? LET US HIT ONE OUT OF THE PARK! HAVE A HOME TO RENT?
There are two ways to move money and property into a trust: (1) by transferring ownership of the accounts and property from you as an individual to the trust, and (2) by completing beneficiary designations which will then name the trust as the beneficiary on other types of property such as life insurance, investment, and certain types of annuities. Beware, there are some types of assets that do not work well in a Trust (tax reasons) such as IRA’s and certain types of retirement accounts, so it is important to address assets individually. The Davis Schilken, PC team is here to ensure that your assets are properly funded to your trust. We want you and your family to receive the two biggest benefits of Trust planning: privacy and probate avoidance. We want you and your family to KNOW that you are protected when that time comes. Contact our office today to schedule a no obligation meeting with one of our skilled attorneys (303)670-9855. We make estate planning simple!

Jeffco to ask court to resolve creek-access issue at Kittredge Park BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Jefferson County is going to court to resolve a dispute over public access to Bear Creek at Kittredge Park. According to information provided by Matt Robbins, spokesman for Jeffco Open Space, JCOS and property owner Taralyn Romero have been negotiating for about two months. JCOS officials have not provided details about those negotiations, and Romero declined to comment. “Because the parties have been unable to reach an amicable resolution, Jefferson County has decided to seek guidance from the courts,” Robbins said in an email statement. “Jefferson County has requested that the court hear the dispute as soon as possible to reaffirm its right to use the property that the public has enjoyed for over 35 years.” The dispute over public access to Bear Creek at Kittredge has been going on for more than a year after Romero bought a home that also included — and a survey confirmed — some property on the north side of Bear Creek. Romero has blocked off the area with a rope and no-trespassing signs. The lack of access to the creek has caused frustration and anger among neighbors and hurt feelings on all sides. JCOS conducted a community meeting in May to get feedback and to hear from Romero. Ken and Susan Dlin, who own property east of Romero that also

borders the creek, continue to welcome the public to access the creek from their property. “We welcome all the children on all parts of the property that is ours,” Susan Dlin told about 75 people at the May meeting. Tom Hoby, JCOS director, told the residents in May: “I think the bot-
tom line we hear is that folks would like to have access to the creek from the park. What does that look like and how do we get there is really the next step.” He said then that Jeffco Open Space hoped to resolve the issue amicably in a way that provides the community with access to Bear
Creek. “We want … the public to access Bear Creek as they have for more than three decades, so they can enjoy the creek in a way that is responsible and be respectful to adjacent property owners,” Hoby said.

Snow Creek Fire near Morrison 100% contained Fire most likely caused by lightning BY OLIVIA JEWELL LOVE OLOVE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
A brush fire that broke out in Jefferson County near the intersection of U.S. Highway 285 and Colorado Highway 8 south of Morrison July 12 is 100% contained as of July 16, according to West Metro Fire Department. The department said the fire was most likely caused by lightning. Thirty-five firefighters hiked into the site to work on containment and mopping up, according to a July 13 tweet from West Metro Fire Department. The West Metro crews were joined by firefighters from the USFS Pike-San Isabel National Forests and Cimarron and Comanche National Grasslands, as well as crews from Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Patrol. Some smoke was visible throughout July 13 due to the warm weather, according to West Metro Fire Department. On July 12, WMFD spokesperson Ronda Scholting said crews had a plan to contain the fire that has been named the Snow Creek Fire. “(The) strategy is to pound this fire and surround this fire,” Scholting said. “Fire is difficult to access, so three crews of firefighters are hiking in with handtools,” said a tweet from
the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office around 5 p.m. July 12. “In the air, Douglas County is lending its helicopter to the effort. Conditions are pretty smokey for the pilot.” An earlier tweet from the Sheriff’s Office stated a full evacuation was in place the afternoon of July 12 for Mount Lindo and the tip of Willow Springs. Pre-evacuation notices went out to about 60 residences in the Willow Springs area, the tweet said. The evacuation center was at Bear Creek High School before authorities closed it late in the afternoon. The West Metro Fire Department estimated the fire burned 2 acres. One home was evacuated. On the evening of July 12, ground crews were working to dig a fire line. Two helicopters were dropping water on the fire from above, and two SEAT planes were dropping fire retardant onto the flames. Firefighters had to deal with changing weather conditions, which included thunderstorms in the area. Smoke was visible in much of the area, and other fire crews have responded to reports of smoke as far away as Kipling Parkway. Units from the South Metro Fire Department and the Arvada Department were among those assisting, as were crews from The Salvation Army. Officials said about 45 people may need help from the Salvation Army. Scholting advised people who live in the Wildland Urban Interface to always have a plan for evacuating. “Be prepared; have stuff ready to

go,” she said. Todd Houghton has lived in the Willow Springs neighborhood for almost 20 years. He serves the area as a realtor, and explained Willow Springs is divided up into several different areas. While he did not get a pre-evacuation notice, many of his neighbors did. “I heard a lot of people did, and a lot of people got their doors knocked on in the immediate area,” Houghton said.
Worries raced through the minds of Houghton and his neighbors, concerning the welfare of their families and pets at their homes. “It was very concerning. I was outside the neighborhood when I got word there was a fire nearby. I scrambled to get back into the area as soon as I heard,” he said Houghton and others were delayed by road closures near their homes, but ultimately were extremely thankful for the work of the firefighters. “We were all very impressed with the help from the fire department and the helicopters and the guys on the ground,” he said. “It was a heroic effort, we’ve been texting back and forth about how they did it.” Living in an area like Willow Springs is not without its risks, Houghton said. He is on the board for Willow Springs Open Space Owners Association. The group owns 819 acres of private land, and now they are racing to mitigate the area even more. “We know we live in a treasure of a little area….and with that treasure comes some responsibility and risk. We’re constantly trying to improve it and get ready,” Houghton said. Houghton has seen brush fires in the area become more frequent in recent years, and said ultimately the Snow Creek Fire has served as a reminder for his neighborhood to have their evacuation plans and bags ready to go. “This was actually a really good wakeup moment for the neighbors,” he said.

VOICES Tips for a new Code of the West
I
t’s not always easy living in the rural West, with customs so entrenched that everybody takes them for granted. What makes it hard for the newest newcomers is that they’re caught up in a mysterious culture. Learning the Old West code was easy decades ago. Novelist Zane Gray’s “Code of the West” told men to wear a hat only outdoors, to never wave, but nod at someone on horseback, and to treat women with chivalry. You — and you were always presumed to be male — were also advised to take your gun belt off before sitting down to eat. But here we are in 2022, and from what county officials and some jaundiced newcomers tell me, the cultural confusion for newcomers almost always starts with private property. For example, the newbies tend to get huffy about their boundaries and can’t believe they have to fence livestock out. Wyoming, of course, is a classic fence-out state where cows outnumber people more than two to one. Irrigation is another area of contention, as water law can be murky. A ditch may run close to your propertybut that doesn’t mean you can take water out of it.
To make the urban-rural transition easier, I’ve collected 10 tips guaranteed to ease you into your new life. But first, know that you will never become an oldtimer, although with patience you might become what WestDavid Marston ern historian Hal Rothman dubbed a “neo-native.” Here’s hoping this helps: 1. Always wave at neighbors when you see them and make eye contact with everyone who passes you, either in a car or on foot. This is not a challenge; it means you’re neighborly. And be cordial to everyone you see at the post office because you will see them everywhere. You may even see their dual personas, as many locals must work two or even three jobs to pay the rent. 2. Never go for a long hike with new boots. Take enough water and food for yourself and to share. Bring a rain jacket and sweater and waterproof matches. The saying “If you don’t like the weather, wait five minutes,” is dead-on accurate. And
WRITERS ON THE RANGE
when someone on a hike assures you that “it’s all downhill,” it’s only partially uphill. “A little technical” means the mountain has hair-raising sections, while “just around the corner” means the end of the trail is not. 3. Realize that nobody is more important than anybody else. Rich and poor may sport raggedy clothes. Notable figures in town are probably dogs; learn their names. 4. Know that it’s considered rude to insult a person’s dog, but if it comes on your land and harasses your cattle, you can shoot the dog. If your dog chases wildlife, you’re in for a big fine and maybe worse. 5. Flashing your headlights to oncoming cars is good form if there’s a hazard ahead, usually a deer, or perhaps a deputy sheriff trolling for speeders. 6. Notice that law enforcement people are not the only people carrying guns, and a gun on the hip doesn’t necessarily indicate political party. 7. Always stop to help people on a trail or road because federal agencies are spread too thin for fast rescues. Locals would stop to help you, even if your hat logo fails to reflect their politics.
8. You might be bored senseless, but you will learn what local public service is all about if you sample meetings from school board to county commission. And immediately volunteer at a nonprofit or two, while also subscribing to your local paper if you’re lucky enough to have one. 9. Clean jeans are considered dress-up. 10. Forego saying you’re pretty good at something unless you have a death wish. For example, in Durango, Flagstaff or Jackson, saying you’re a “good” mountain biker or skier is an invitation to be politely left behind at midday. Bonus tip: If you think about buying a house next to a yard full of old farm implements, don’t be tempted. That yard collection is permanent. Complaining, however, rarely works in the rural place you’ve adopted. A painful lesson might be that like it or not, you can only change yourself. Wagon wheels are always a safe decoration. Dave Marston is publisher of Writers on the Range, writersontherange. org, an independent nonprofit dedicated to spurring lively conversation about the West. He grew up in rural Colorado.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Wolf hunting goes against the North American Model The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation has always promoted the “user pays model,” where wildlife decisions are made by people who purchase hunting and fishing licenses For the Wolf Plan, the “user” is the citizens of the state of Colorado, who under a fair election, chose for wolves to be managed as a non-game species. The statute is clear. The “payer” in this system is the general fund of Colorado, which is funded by citizens of Colorado and not from hunting and fishing licenses. For those who use the North American Model as a masquerade to justify a public wolf hunt, you are degrading the North American Model. The 2004 wolf plan talks about “live and let live.” A wolf hunt is the antithesis to this. A wolf hunt does nothing to create tolerance or goodwill, it de-values the life of a wolf, increases illegal poaching, goes against all the best available science and is an act of spite and vengeance. A wolf hunt only sets up the hunter to be in direct violation of CPW’s own policies. CPW statute 33-6-119 requires that meat from the animal be consumed by humans. People don’t eat wolf meat. To hunt them is illegal. The sad irony about misuse of the North American Model is that if the State of Wyoming had a responsible policy for wolves, Proposition 114 would have been unnecessary to begin with, since wolves would be able to migrate naturally into Colorado, rather than being shot on sight, from the air, poisoned, or run over 365 days a year. The SAG and CPW have made it unreasonably difficult to know what is being discussed at the SAG meetings. By not allowing the public to view the meetings live via Zoom, and now not allowing the recording of meetings to share with those who are unable to attend them due to being disabled, elderly or because they are during work hours, is unethical.
Hundreds of thousands of people in Colorado and around the country are watching. When Coloradans who voted for Proposition 114 become aware that the SAG has focused on ways to allow hunting of wolves, they will be outraged. Surely an onslaught of legal actions on behalf of wolves will ensue. We voted for wolves to be reintroduced to their native homeland not to killed. CPW is our public servant and is responsible for carrying out a wolf plan which complies with the passage of 114, (33-2-105.8) which states wolves are a non-game species, and we will hold CPW accountable to this. Rhonda Dern, Evergreen
Evergreen grievances There are some things going on in Evergreen one needs to comment on. First, in regard to the new fire station, the tenant has had reasonable time to know they needed to find a new location. The taxpayers shouldn’t be expected to pay for their relocation or buyout. One solution is the fire district building a space for them in the new facility. Have to think outside the box. Second, in regard to bicycles and cars. It is tragic, but we build bike trails for a reason. Should we have Tour De France on our local roads or should we ask that they pay for a bicycle endorsement like motorcycle riders? Is it not too much to ask that the local clubs hire law enforcement as escorts during rides. Third, as a taxpayer I do not favor paying for special facilities to be built any time a parent realizes their child has some sort of special gift. We didn’t build batting cages for Kevin Kouzmanoff or a film studio for Trey Parker. Finally, we must all get behind stopping the Full Send complex from being built on Shadow Mountain. We should be against it. Nate Marshall, Evergreen

Some campers get on their knees to take a break.

EPRD kids’ boating camp makes waves Campers learn to kayak, paddle board at Evergreen Lake BY OLIVIA JEWELL LOVE OLOVE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Summer is in full swing at the Evergreen Lake House, with summer camps getting kids out into the outdoors. The week of July 11, one group of campers embarked on a boating camp, where they learned how to kayak and paddle board. The camp
was Monday, Wednesday, Friday for four hours a day. On July 11, they learned to kayak. They learned to paddle board July 13. On July 15, they got to choose their vessel, but everyone chose the paddle boards. Roland Kiessling is the recreation supervisor for outdoor programming at Evergreen Park & Recreation District. He said the summer camps with EPRD always fill up quickly. The goal, in Kiessling’s words, is for kids to experience the “true enjoyment of the outdoors” in these camps. The campers also learn environmental education and team build-
ing. At the boating camp, everyone on the water wears a life jacket. Leo Southard is a 15-year-old camp counselor from Kittredge. Growing up in Colorado, Southard has many outdoor hobbies including hiking, biking and skiing. Being a teenage counselor has its advantages, Southard said. “I can relate to them [the kids],” he said. And having a job on the water beats working in fast food, in his opinion. “I would much rather work here on the lake,” he said. Turns out the campers like the young counselors, too.
“I think the best part of the camp is the counselors because they’re teenagers,” camper Gibson Zimmerman said. Zimmerman, 11, lives in Denver. He’s attended the camp for two years now with his friend, River Finck, 11, who lives in Evergreen. “We mostly just hang out on the lake and do fun games,” Finck said. On their last day at camp, the group had plans to paddle, eat lunch, play capture the flag and then walk over to Baskin Robbins for ice cream. To put it succinctly, Finck described the camp in a few words: “Fun camp, boats, people, geese.”

Evergreen Fire/Rescue to negotiate buyout of tenant lease at mountain market property Board also decides to halt design plans after reaching milestone BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Evergreen Fire/Rescue’s Station 1 was the subject of two decisions by the board of directors on July 12 as they deal with resolving an issue with the liquor store tenant’s lease. • The board unanimously authorized spending no more than $8,000 to hire real estate attorney Ron Atherton to negotiate by Sept. 1 a buyout of the liquor store owner’s lease in the former Evergreen Mountain Market building. • The board unanimously agreed to have F+D International, the firm EFR hired to design and oversee construction of a new Station 1, complete the design development milestone it is currently working toward and not continue further until instructed to do so. The next step would be to create construction documents. In addition, Evergreen officials have notified Jefferson County that constructing a new Station 1 likely will be delayed. Jefferson County plans in 2023 to widen and make improvements to Highway 73 from Buffalo Park Road to Plettner Lane, which included a pedestrian median in front of the current Station 1 and public parking across from the station. Fire Chief Mike Weege told the fire board on July 12 that Jefferson County will hold off on constructing the median until a new fire station is built and will reserve three to four parking spaces for firefighters while the current Station 1 is functional. Board member Stacey Ballinger told residents who attended the meeting that because attorneys
were involved regarding the tenant’s lease, the board was not able to talk publicly about everything that was taking place regarding the property. “The committee is looking at the issues and options with Station 1, and is coming up with as many options as it can,” Ballinger said. “We have made a ton of progress, which we can’t always share with you.” Evergreen Fire/Rescue has been working on building a new Station 1 on the former market property for several years. The current Station 1 on Highway 73 south of downtown Evergreen was built in the late 1960s and is outdated. EFR assumed all of the leases in 2019 when it purchased the property. It planned to demolish the building late this year and complete the new fire station in 2024. The only tenant remaining from before the fire district bought the building on the original lease is the liquor store. While the liquor store owner’s lease ends on Oct. 31, the lease is written in such a way that it cannot simply be broken by the fire department, who is the landlord. The tenant has a one-time option to extend the lease for an additional five years. The liquor store owner has filed his intent to use the five-year option. Atherton of Aegis Law, who was hired by the fire board to look at the lease, told the fire board in May that the department might be forced to pay costs for the liquor store to find a new location, move and potentially any difference in rent. If the liquor store could not find a new location, the department likely would be responsible to pay for several years of revenue, he said. Weege stated in a previous meeting that he and the former Station 1 Committee assumed the lease would expire on Oct. 31, 2022, since the fire district informed the tenant that the building would be demolished shortly thereafter.
EPRD board starts on strategic-plan process BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Evergreen Park & Recreation District board is embarking on a strategic planning process that it hopes to complete in about six months. The plan will be what the board is calling “fast and light,” intending to create a blueprint for both new projects and maintaining existing facilities, and the public will be included in the process. The board plans to approve a scope of work for the plan at its July 26 meeting, and then it will look for outside consultants or EPRD employees to perform the work. Board
members Monty Estis and Betsy Hays will serve on a subcommittee to shepherd the process through the district. Board members hope to have a work session in the next month to create a wish list of projects that might be good for the district and get ballpark estimates of their cost. They want to conduct surveys to hear from EPRD constituents, especially what they call the silent majority – those who live in the district but don’t engage with the board or the staff – about what they would like to see in the district. “We want to hear their SWOT — SEE SWOT, P17

2 Denver area female aviators share their stories of earning their wings BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
S
N I G T A T E H F E E D OD
tephanie Wells and Donna Mills grew up during a time when women could not be pilots, but the two Denver women did not give up on their dreams and eventually earned their wings. Miller, a first officer, flies the Boeing 787 Dreamliner for American Airlines, and Wells is retired after an illustrious career that included flying for NASA and working for the Federal Aviation Administration.
Defying gender barriers Miller grew up in Golden. Her father was a Colorado School of Mines professor and an aviator. “He was a back seater in the F-4 in the Navy and went to top gun,” Miller said. “He was my inspiration growing up.” Miller attended Westminster College in Salt Lake City, Utah, which had an aviation program but only for men. So, she majored in business administration, economics and international management. She spent her last semester of college overseas and was accepted to the American College in Paris. She ended up living abroad for eight years. Miller moved to South Korea for two years and worked as an Air Force civilian, where she got her pilot’s license in 1988 at age 27. She then moved to Frankfurt, Germany, where she took a job as an administrative assistant for a computer company from 1989 to 1990, when the Berlin Wall fell. “I was 27 and considered military, but the age cutoff was 27 in half, and at that time, the military didn’t need pilots,” Miller said. Miller returned to Denver in late 1990 and started working at Jeppesen, coding the database for airline onboard computers. While there, Miller met Capt. Elrey B. Jeppesen, after whom the Jeppesen Terminal at Denver International Airport was named.
She said Orville Wright signed Jeppesen’s pilot’s license, and he gave her a piece of fabric from the Wright brothers’ first aircraft. “I helped Jeppesen catalog all of his memorabilia, which is in a display case at Denver International Airport,” Miller said. Miller left Jeppesen to work for the United Airlines Training Center in 1995. It was another desk job, but it put her in right place at the right time. While Miller was working at the training center, Capt.Ted Stiles, who was on United’s hiring committee, came into her office. “He said, ‘Donna, you can’t steal second with your foot on first,’” Miller said. “I said, ‘excuse me.’ He said, ‘if you ever wanted to be a pilot, you have to leave your cushy little desk job and go out and fly — get the experience you need and then you can return to the airlines.” Miller started a file called “stealing second” that day and contacted every single flight operator she knew. “I probably didn’t even have 500 hours at the time, which is really low time, but I had all of my ratings,” she said. Miller got her first pilot’s job in 1998 flying car parts to Mexico from El Paso, Texas. “It was low paying,” she said. “We loaded and unloaded our own airplanes. It was tough duty.” She also flew skydivers without pay, but she could jump for free. In 1999, she was hired as a first officer and a captain with Air Midwest. She flew regional turboprop jets out of Florida for over two years. She applied at United, Delta and American, and finally, in June 2001, she was hired by American. Miller logged her first passenger flight to Chicago on Sept. 10, 2001, the day before 9/11, and on Oct. 1, she was furloughed. During the furlough, which ultimately lasted 11 years, Miller found other flying jobs, which were low paying but helped her stay current and qualified. In 2013, Miller resumed flights with American Airlines based in Chicago. She lives in Denver but commutes elsewhere to fly the 787 Dreamliner. She also runs marathons and so far has completed 32. Airline pilots have to retire at age 65; Miller is 61. “I’m not sure yet where I want to retire — maybe SEE WINGS, P15

Portugal and spend more time in Europe,” Miller said. “But I want to keep my hands in aviation because I love flying. It will always be a part of my life.” A life-long passion Wells was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and grew up in Washington, D.C. She took her first flight at age 15 and immediately fell in love with aviation. “I was picked up and carried away by it, but I couldn’t afford it,” Wells said. “It was just so far out of reach; it might have been impossible.” Wells graduated with a bachelor of science degree in meteorology from Iowa State University in 1975, and while in college, she started working toward obtaining her private pilot’s license. After graduation, she joined the Air Force, and her first assignment was as a weather forecaster. “It was very cool to work as a forecaster, but my dream was always to be a pilot,” Wells said. She said the Air Force announced it would start training women as pilots within a year of her joining. “So, I was in the right place at the right time,” Wells said. Wells began pilot training in 1978 and, after graduation, was assigned as an instructor pilot for the Cessna T-37 trainer. She later served as an instructor for the WC-130 “typhoon chaser” aircraft and the supersonic T-38 Talon. She got the opportunity to train her peers to pilot these planes but becoming a fighter pilot was still out of reach for women at that time. “I couldn’t get it, but that was OK,” Wells said. “I was so happy just to be the pilot for the Air Force.” Wells was on active duty for the Air Force from 1975 to 1985 and then transferred from active duty to the Air Force Reserves. “I flew more than 10 years in San Antonio, flying the C-5 galaxy military transport,” Wells said. As a part-time reservist, she could pursue a civilian career, and her dream job was to fly for
NASA. In 1986, she was hired by NASA, and her first assignment was as a zero-gravity test director. She eventually advanced to piloting the KC-135 Stratotanker Zero-G, “vomit comet,” aircraft. She also served as chief of training and aviation safety officer at NASA, and she earned her master’s of science degree in aeronautical science from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University by attending classes in the evenings. “I was also pilot on a couple of other airplanes, including the administrative airplane Gulfstream 1 to transport the bosses, and then, I got to fly the Gulfstream 2, which is a special simulator to train the astronauts,” Wells said. Wells said there were about 20 staff pilots and approximately 140 astronauts at NASA. The pilots’ mission was mainly to support the manned space program and to help train astronauts. Wells decided she wanted to be close to her family in Colorado, so she left NASA and went to work for the Federal Aviation Administration in 2003 as a safety inspector at the Denver Flight Standards Office at Denver International Airport. “I was an instructor pilot for the FAA, and I also had many (other) tasks, including overseeing air charter companies, flight schools, agriculture operators, external load helicopters, monitoring air shows, doing accident investigation,” Wells said. Wells retired from the FAA in 2010 and was off to her next adventure, flying part-time for Mountain Aviation in Broomfield and instructing pilots on the King Air. She also worked for Rocky Mountain Aerial surveys flying the Cessna 206 doing surveys with a LIDAR camera that produces 3-D mapping. “They had special instruments mapping the folds and valleys of the terrain in extreme detail,” Wells said. “It’s used for different things — mapping a golf course or building a road through a canyon.” She is now a volunteer pilot for Light Hawk and also enjoys skiing, hiking and international travel.

Local performing groups gear up for shows BY OLIVIA JEWELL LOVE OLOVE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The next few months in the foothills are packed with local entertainment for all ages. The Evergreen Players are in their run of “Rock of Ages,” while StageDoor Theatre is performing “Mamma Mia!” and Ovation West is gearing up for its next season. Evergreen Players: “Rock of Ages” The Evergreen Players are presenting ‘80s jukebox musical “Rock of Ages,” which will run through the end of July. Director Clay White took an out-ofthe-box approach with casting for the production. The musical features performers who play instruments, play multiple roles and do costume changes. He also changed the gender identity of several characters to take a more human look at their roles. White has directed around 30 musicals and has been in Denver since 2014. He spent time directing in Texas previously, and got a degree in musical theater with an emphasis in directing. The cast is made up of 14 characters with a wide range of experience. White sees it as a way to teach

the next generation. “[We are] using it as a vehicle to educate and get new talent involved,” he said. White said the ending is sure to rouse the crowd, but they will have to come experience it for themselves. “One of my favorite parts is the finale….I think it’s going to be a big crowd pleaser,” he said. “Rock of Ages” runs July 8-31 at Center Stage Theatre, 27608 Fireweed Drive, Evergreen, CO 80439. Shows are 7 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays. Ticketing information can be found online at www.evergreenplayers.org.

StageDoor Theatre: “Mamma Mia!” Fuel your inner dancing queen with StageDoor Theatre’s performance of “Mamma Mia!” The musical story of a woman’s search for her birth father will run through the end of July. The show is directed by Justin Johnson, choreographed by Tracy Doty and has musical direction by Tanner Kelly. The production’s set director Dean Arniotes, a 33 year volunteer at StageDoor and the board president of StageDoor, has been putting in time behind the scenes of the musical with sets and technical production. Arniotes said so far, the group has received positive feedback from the community. The first weekend was successful with great attendance, over 100 people attending the first Sunday matinee. The cast of “Mamma Mia!” is made up of seven leads. A few are from University of Colorado, and some have been a part of the StageDoor Theatre program for years.
“The show appeals to a wide range of people,” Arniotes said. He went on to explain that the musical features the music of the ‘70s band ABBA, which he believes to be making a comeback. “Mamma Mia!” runs July 8-31 at StageDoor Theatre, 25797 Conifer Road, Conifer, CO 80433. Shows are at 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and at 2 p.m. Sundays. Ticketing information can be found at www.stagedoortheatre.org. Ovation West: Upcoming season Ovation West Performing Arts is going into its 51st season starting in August. The group’s musical theater group, which performs at Center Stage, as well as the Evergreen Chorale, are starting to line up performances for the next few months. Evergreen Chorale will host auditions in the coming weeks, with registration on its website. The group’s first rehearsal will be Aug. 22. Ovation West will open the season with the musical “Ragtime,” running Sept. 16 through Oct. 8. Next, the group will team up with an African marimba band for “An African Journey” Nov. 18 and 20. On Dec. 17, the group will perform “An Evergreen Mountain Christmas.” The official events calendar will be coming to its website soon. Christine Emery, the managing director at Ovation West, explained some of the goals the organization has with Evergreen Chorale and Center Stage. “Part of Evergreen Chorale is about learning about other musical genres,” she said. “We will be continuing to make improvements around Center Stage and providing that as a community resource.”

RTD offering zero-fare August across train, bus system “Zero Fare for Better Air” focuses on improving air quality during high ozone season BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
RTD is offering zero fares across its transit system to improve air quality and reduce traffic during Denver’s high ozone season. The “Zero Fare for Better Air” initiative will also be a good way for locals to save money and gas, RTD board member Marjorie Sloan said at a July 12 Golden City Council meeting. Sloan, who represents the Golden, Wheat Ridge and Lakewood areas on the RTD board, hoped locals

will take advantage of the zero-fare month. She said it’ll be ideal for commuting to and from work, going out with friends, traveling for date night and more; and several communities around Denver will be hosting events to promote it. RTD’s long-term goal is to increase ridership and usage across its system, and hosting a zero-fare month is a great way to incentivize people to use RTD, she said. “Zero Fare for Better Air” was made possible by the Colorado Senate Bill 22-180, in partnership with the Colorado Energy Office, according to the RTD website. August is Colorado’s high ozone season, so stakeholders want to reduce ground level ozone by increasing use of public transit. With gas still hovering between $4-$5 a gallon, Sloan and her RTD colleagues feel August will be the Strengths included a dedicated staff, community support, Evergreen Lake and the Evergreen Lake House, events and programs, a new board and executive director, being a stable employer and how it continues to improve and provide more for constituents.

Opportunities included possibly adding senior programming, sailing, passive recreation, mini-golf, an amphitheater, a big playground, community gardens and more. They discussed a dog park, extended hours at facilities, development of a two-acre property on Highway 73 and Malamute Drive, and creating a system for mobile payments and

Threats included not having enough staff to offer all programs, not enough revenue to provide everything the district would like to provide, in-district residents using recreational facilities and programs elsewhere such as the Foothills Park & Recreation District, and district staff and board members listening to the vocal groups rather than looking at the whole picture. “How do we define consensus from the community?” Hays asked. “How do we determine what is needed by the community?”

You better bee-lieve it Girl Scout builds bee hotel to protect pollinators BY MAYA DAWSON SPECIAL TO CANYON COURIER
“Save the bees!” It’s a cute slogan, good for bumper stickers and hippie t-shirts, but according to Miriam Koller, we’ve got it all wrong. “When people hear ‘bees’ they automatically jump to honey bees, bee hives and honey, which is not exactly what this is about,” Koller said. In fact, 90% of native bees are solitary, meaning that they don’t live in a hive at all, according to the University of Arizona. These bees are crucial for pollination, but their habitats are being destroyed. Koller, a rising senior at Evergreen High School, wants to protect these solitary bees by building them a hotel. The concept may sound odd, but it’s far from a new idea. Koller’s mother is from Switzerland, where bee hotels are more common, appearing as wood with holes drilled in it or stacks of small tubes that give the bees a safe place to rest and evade birds. Koller’s bee hotel project is part of how she plans to earn her Girl Scout Gold Award, the program’s highest honor and the equivalent of the Boy Scouts’ Eagle Scout status. She has been involved in Girl Scouts since kindergarten. “This is something I’ve been thinking about for a while, so it’s

a little bit unreal to me that it’s actually happening,” Koller said. “I think that’s really exciting, for not only me, but for the community.” She will be putting the hotel in the Evergreen Community Garden in early fall, where the bees it houses will pollinate the produce grown by community members. The project is more than just wood with holes drilled in it. Koller has researched everything, from which way the structure should face to what materials are safe for bees. In fact, many of the materials Koller is using were donated by community members looking to help her give back to the community. When she reached out online asking for donations of supplies for the project, response was overwhelming. Neighbors donated scrap wood, birdhouses and other materials for her to use in the construction of her

bee hotel. Koller isn’t stopping with her hotel, though. The structure is only “phase 1” in what she hopes will be a multi-year, two-phase project. The next phase involves educating other communities about solitary bees and encouraging them to create organic and bee-friendly gardens, and Koller is aiming big. “I’m hoping to spread the word about my project and spread it to other parts of the country and even
the world,” Koller said. She encourages those who are interested in making their own gardens bee-friendly to stay away from pesticides and research flowers that solitary bees are drawn to. But her project is about more than bees. It’s about taking initiative. ”I’m really hoping that some people are going to be inspired to start work on something that they want to see changed in the world,” she said.

JEFFERSON COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
Jefferson County working to reduce wildfire risk
T
ake a drive in Evergreen, Conifer or Pine and you’ll easily see how the majestic views, mountain lifestyle and nearby trails continue to attract many to our area. Driving along these narrow back roads also makes the area’s fire risk quickly evident. Heavily forested areas and steep terrain combined with increasingly dry conditions all contribute to high-fire risk. These factors and others make fast-moving wildfires harder to contain and require us to think in new ways about growth, development and forest health — issues not limited to Jefferson County, either. As population and development grow in the wildland-urban interface, or WUI, our vulnerability to wildfire risk increases across Colorado. Data show America’s WUI continues to increase by about 2 million acres per year. More than two-thirds of Jefferson County is in the WUI. Verisk’s wildfire analysis has determined that Colorado ranks No. 3 in the number of properties at extreme risk, with Evergreen and Conifer leading the list statewide. There is no single, quick solution to extinguish wildfire risk, and it requires all of us doing our part. That’s why we are taking a collaborative,comprehensive approach. We work closely with community members, fire chiefs, the Jeffco Sheriff’s Office, Jeffco Emergency Management, Jeffco Open Space, Jeffco Planning and Zoning, Jeffco Road and Bridge, forest health managers and water experts on multiple fronts. Commissioners recently earmarked $2.7 million in American Rescue Plan dollars to protect homes from wildfires in Jefferson County. We’ll leverage those funds with a new state grant totaling $2 million from the Colorado Strategic Wildfire Action Program. Jefferson County is one of only a handful of counties to receive this funding. These dollars and others totaling $7.5 million will advance our Jeffco Wildfire Safe program to: Protect people and structures

Research shows building codes tailored for the WUI can help reduce risk and increase the likelihood residents have a home to return to after a wildfire. We’re exploring the full adoption of the International WUI building codes and expanding how the WUIis defined in Jefferson County, which now only covers elevations at 6,400 feet and above. We’re further integrating land use, emergency, transportation and wildfire planning in the WUI, including updates to the Community Wildfire Protection Plan.This effort includes a thorough assessment of planning and zoning codes and what needs to change to further reduce wildfire risk. It includes examining transportation routes for safe, efficient evacuation ranging from increased mitigation along roadsides to gathering community input to help inform safer roadways. Reduce fuel for wildfire Thinning forests on both public and private land helps fires burn slower and lower to the ground – the funding will help increase the pace and scale of mitigation. More help is on the way for homeowners, too, to improve defensible space around their homes thanks to assessments led by fire rescue districts. Many residents are already taking advantage of dozens of meetings hosted by fire districts that provide important information on protecting their homes and property.

pine cones and needles. We also doubled the number of days for summer slash collection. Residents are responding – after only one month, we have collected more than double the amount of slash than we did at this point last year. The county’s Parks & Conservation Team and the Jefferson Conservation District are leading these efforts. The county is also creating two, year-round locations for residents to drop off and recycle slash. This effort includes enhancing neighborhood chipping programs with the help of local fire districts and biochar processing, a charcoal-like substance left over from burning forestry waste like slash. Biochar shows promise in mitigating climate change and improving soil quality. Several of these recommendations came directly from the county’s first ever Wildfire Risk Reduction Task Force. Community leaders and subject matter experts from across the county worked together to identify three priority areas: enhancing the pace and scale of mitigation, increasing community education, and securing new revenue sources to reduce wildfire risk. The task force has now evolved into the Wildfire Commission, which will continue to inform countywide policies and track progress. These efforts are in addition to policies approved earlier this year that require anyone requesting a building permit in the WUI for new homes or home expansions to show proof of defensible space and use ignition-resistant materials. To help meet the need, Jeffco has hired a fire mitigation specialist to work with property owners to address defensible space. Jeffco Open

Space is improving forest health on 1,000 acres of land by significantly thinning dense tree stands – a seven-fold increase over previous years. County staff also worked on a memorandum of understanding to partner with Evergreen Fire Rescue for mitigation of fire risks within county right-of-way. Plus, Jeffco has proposed access standards for driveways, private roads and unimproved roads in public right-of-way that will accommodate fire trucks, safe ingress and egress but that do not require fire district review. Requirements include 10-foot clear zones on both sides of the access on the property. Being prepared for an emergency is critical for every resident. During a wildfire, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office works with your local fire departments to safely get people out of harm’s way. But don’t wait for someone to come save you. Visit the Be Your Own Hero web page to learn more about this program from the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office on protecting your life and property.Jeffco residents also shouldregister for Lookout Alert to receive emergency notifications. We are not only tackling wildfire at a county level but partnering with our state and national leaders. Commissioner Dahlkemper serves as one of two county commissioners representing the interests of counties on the Colorado Fire Commission. Later this month, Jeffco leaders will present our wildfire risk reduction efforts at the invitation of the National Association of Counties at its annual national conference. Together, we’re seeking collaborative solutions to keep Jeffco safe from wildfire and protect our lands for generations to come. We recognize there’s much more work ahead. As the county faces financial challenges, we’ll continue to proactively pursue federal and state grants and other funding that help keep our community safe. Commissioners can be reached at commish@jeffco.us or individually at tktharp@jeffco.us, akerr@jeffco.us and ldahkem@jeffco.us.

Reconnecting with schoolmates EHS All-Classes Reunion is a fun-filled event for graduates from five decades BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Camaraderie was abundant at Evergreen Lutheran Church on July 16. That’s when the Evergreen High School All-Classes Reunion kicked into high gear with about 100 grads from the 1950s to the 1990s picnicking, reminiscing about their time in high school and catching up on the latest happenings. The event couples some of the area’s oldest families with others that have spent less time here. The graduates from the older classes remember who owned which homes, who married whom and how they are connected. They are also not thrilled about the amount of growth and traffic in Evergreen — a huge change from when they were kids. Yet, no matter which year they graduated, they are happy to connect with friends, some still living nearby and others traveling from
other states to attend the reunion. The reunion has been a summer mainstay for the graduates for more than three decades. While graduates tend to be from earlier years, they are hoping that newer graduates will join the ranks each year to keep the connection — and the event — going. Bob and Nancy Brown from the class of 1955, who are about ready to move to Montrose, said they like to see their schoolmates, happy to be able to attend when they can. Siblings Kathy and Doug Petty, classes of ’66 and ’64 respectively, said the reunion allows them to see friends they don’t typically see. Lynlee Washburn Wisdom and Ann Crosson Hager, members of the class of ’66, said while there were 100 students in their graduating class, they are two of 13 who were in school together from kindergarten through graduation. While Lois Arnold, class of ’54, has attended most of the reunions — and organized it for many years — friend Mike Miller, class of ’69, is a relative newbie at attending the reunions. Miller reminisced about working at his dad’s gas station in Evergreen in the early 1960s, needing to stand on a box to reach car windshields. They agreed that the best part of the reunions was seeing old friends.

Firefighters extinguish house fire 5 miles down Upper Bear Creek Road BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The stars aligned so everything went the way it was supposed to on July 12 when Evergreen Fire/Rescue extinguished a house fire off of Upper Bear Creek Road and Echo Lake Drive. “It went exactly the way it was supposed to go with our (firefighter) neighborhood response and the community helping out,” Assistant Chief Stacee Martin said. “It was a great outcome to a bad situation.”
At 9:15 p.m. July 12, a neighbor going by a house on Bendemeer Drive spotted the fire and communicated with neighbors. Because cell service is spotty there, some neighbors have walkie-talkies to communicate. As luck would have it, Martin said, volunteer firefighter Carson Allen, who lives nearby, heard the message, had his wife call 911 and got a fire truck from Station 5 that was a halfblock from the home. He assessed the situation and provided additionSEE FIRE, P23

July 21, 2022 Men at work CONIFER – Flatlanders all, Chico, Harpo and Zeppo were cooling their heels on the street in Brighton on the morning of June 25 when Groucho approached. Groucho told the trio he’d “pay some wages” and “buy you cigarettes” in exchange for performing some odd jobs around his mountain manor. The three in agreement, Groucho drove them up the hill and put them to work. Chico hadn’t yet broken a sweat when he decided that Groucho was treating him and his compatriots “like (shinola)” and declared a general strike until Groucho coughed up some of the promised cigarettes. Hoping to stem the budding labor movement before it could spread, Groucho “hit (Chico) over the head with an aerosol spray can” and ejected him from the premises. Taking his termination in stride, Chico had just started walking back down the hill when he realized he “didn’t know where to go” and diverted to a random neighbor’s house where he called JCSO. Deputies dropped by Chez Groucho to find the master of the house unaccountably absent, but Harpo and Zeppo were still there and only too happy to confirm Chico’s version of events. In the end, Chico
deemed his time better spent trying to get back down the mountain that trying prove an assault beef against Groucho. Officers suspended the case indefinitely and gave Chico a lift to the RTD terminal in Golden. Back door man INDIAN HILLS – Returning home on the night of June 22, she was surprised to find the front door’s manually operated interior security lock engaged, and alarmed to hear her ordinarily sedate dogs going ape in the back yard. Fearing an intruder within, she called JCSO, and a deputy peering in the front of the house perceived the backlit figure of a bearded man crouched on the deck in back of the house. Although officers quickly moved to encircle the prowler, he made a dash for the tree line and escaped into the woods. She couldn’t find anything missing or disturbed inside the home, and deputies couldn’t say for certain whether or not he’d ever gained entry. She thought it best to spend the rest of the night somewhere else, and officers thought it best to schedule extra patrols of the residence.
Gaia unplugged EVERGREEN – For most people, the sight of young children joyfully splashing about in the crystal waters of a clear mountain stream would be gladdening. Harmony found it maddening. It seems Harmony is “very concerned with environmental conservation,” and witnessing that Norman Rockwell moment at Evergreen Lake on the afternoon of June 2 she became “very upset” to see the children “moving rocks in the stream.” She told the kids’ Dad to make them “stop disrupting nature.” Dad told Harmony to pound silt. “Mind your own business,” Dad said. Feeling like maybe Dad was “trying to intimidate me,” Harmony responded with a roaring cataract of profanities. Deputies summoned to mediate couldn’t find a crime within the testimonies, and Dad decided his children had had enough innocent joy for one day. 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.
Collar ID EVERGREEN – Platonic roommates Jerry and Elaine spent the evening of June 22 getting soused together. An argument broke out, as arguments will, about something stupid, and Elaine stood up and announced she was leaving because couldn’t tolerate Jerry’s company a moment longer. Jerry stood up to bar Elaine’s exit, saying she was in no condition to drive. The ensuing escalation of hostilities began with mutual shoving and ended with Elaine vigorously and persistently whipping Jerry about the face and head with a dog collar. Bruised and bleeding, Jerry broke free just long enough to dial 911. Possibly exhausted by her savage exertions, Elaine dropped the dog collar and stumbled away into the night. Jerry told deputies he didn’t want to get Elaine “in trouble,” he just wanted her to stop flogging him with the dog collar. Running a check on Elaine, deputies discovered that she was definitely in trouble, being at that time under a protection order prohibiting her from consuming alcohol. Deputies advised Jerry regarding county eviction processes and called it a night.

The Mountain Backpack Program Thanks You For Keeping Kids Full and Focused During Covid Thank you to every person who has contributed their time, talent, and treasure to this all-volunteer organization dedicated to providing food for children experiencing hunger and lack of access to food in our community. We are so grateful to all volunteers who contributed to packing and delivering food in more than 2,000 backpacks and 240 pantry boxes during the 2021-2022 school year. Backpacks with weekend breakfasts and lunches were delivered to 60-100 children each Friday in 12 schools in western Jefferson and Clear Creek Counties. The program also provided pantries of breakfast items and snacks in each school to keep every kid full and focused during the school day.
We couldn’t do it without you! The Mountain Backpack Program is a service project of Evergreen Lutheran Church and Evergreen Rotary. We thank the following organizations for supporting the program throughout the school year: Conifer Staples Daddy’s Homemade Syrup Evergreen Christian Outreach Evergreen Home Depot Evergreen Lutheran Church Evergreen Rotary Food Bank of the Rockies Kittredge General Store Marshdale General Store The National Charity League The National Honor Society at Evergreen High School The staff at Bergen Meadow Elementary, Bergen Valley Elementary, Clear Creek Middle School/High School, Evergreen High School, Evergreen Middle School, The Georgetown Community School, King Murphy Elementary, Marshdale Elementary, Parmalee Elementary, Rocky Mountain Academy of Evergreen, and Wilmot Elementary Schools.
If you would like to contribute to the Mountain Backpack Program, please visit www.mountainbackpacks. org and learn about ways to donate food, financial support, or your volunteer time (all ages welcome!). For more information, contact Janet at calliecoll@comcast.net. If you would like to enroll your child in the Mountain Backpack supplemental food program, please email Janet at calliecoll@comcast.net.
We look forward to keeping kids full and focused in the 2022-2023 school year!
