Town o cials want to find a business to put a retail marijuana shop on land it owns near the wastewater treatment plant, still within the town limits but far from downtown Morrison.
The quest to find a marijuana business for the town’s land comes after the town so far has received no applications for the one marijuana business license it will allow on the east end of the town. Officials had expected to get several applications and had created a lottery system to decide who would get the business license.Asthe town creates a request-forquotes system, it would also suspend the lottery system and only allow a marijuana shop on its property.

Censorship knows no limits to where it is practiced. From Iran to American schools and school districts, the morality police and cultural warriors are unceasingly on the prow, forbidding the teaching of classic works from “To Kill a Mockingbird,” “The Diary of Anne Frank” and “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” to more current works that explore topics that shock uptight, pearl-clutching moralists and put them in a dither.Ateacher
Once again, the controversy seems to stem from the fear of change, perhaps some arrogance and maybe a little jealousy. After all, since I suffered to get to the top of the climb on my own power, shouldn’t you?
One wrote, “If you’re too old to still ride the trails you love, do as many beforehand, reminisce about the good old days and encourage the young. Don’t throw them and our public land under the bus.” That kind of attitude does not bode well for land managers to find an easy compromise.

And I think I’m fairly generous with that number—and this is in honors-level classes.”Banning classic works is more sinister than pearl-clutching moralism. It lessens, even demeans, the importance of not only reading but also of opening the mind. It is about keeping people ignorant, stupid, and easily duped. It is, as Alan Bloom wrote in his 1987 The Closing of the American Mind, the closing of the American mind.

Association, which had said that ebikes should be considered motorized vehicles, softened its stance. Instead, it proposed that local land managers and user groups should determine — on a case-by-case basis — whether to allow ebikes on naturally surfaced trails. Many members canceled their memberships. Some comments were harsh.
The first time I saw an electric bike — better known as an ebike — I was struggling up a hill. Suddenly, a silver-haired man came whizzing by in regular city clothes. I felt a wave of envy as he left me in the dust. That was probably five years ago, and since then ebike use has exploded. In 2020, ebike sales in the United States for just the month of June totaled roughly $90 million, up 190 percent from the previous June.
In 2015, the International Mountain Bike Association studied the environmental impacts of mountain bikes, both electric and self-propelled, and found no appreciable differences between the two in terms of soil displacement on trails. Overall, bike impacts were similar to the impacts of hikers. Horses, motorcycles and off-road vehicles do much more damage to trails.

To counter censorship crusaders, the American Library Association celebrates Banned Book Week typically during the last week of September. Its purpose is to celebrate the freedom to read, especially works some or even many consider unorthodox or unpopular.Autocratic rulers and leaders, whether religious or political or whether in Iran or in America, are dependent upon mass ignorance to prop themselves up. And if one does not see something heinous in that, it suggests they are clueless about what ultimate heinousness is. It’s the closing of the mind, which is like killing a mockingbird. A mortal sin.

n her memoir “Reading Lolita in Tehran,” Professor Azar Nafisi described clandestine sessions she held in her apartment with young women to openly discuss and debate the merits of works the Islamic Republic’s morality squad repressed. Nafisi had been raised during the reign of the ousted Shah who, despite his autocratic rule, allowed the liberal air of the West to permeate Iranian society. After earning her degrees at American universities, she returned to Iran after the 1979 Revolution and faced immediate scrutiny. Despite enormous pressure exerted on her to wear the traditional garb proscribed by the autocratic male rulers and to cease teaching Western literature, Nafisi refused to buckle. Her novel is a paean to true courage.

To find out, Tahoe National Forest measured the top speeds reached by intermediate and advanced riders using both kinds of bikes. Differences on the downhills were small. On uphills, traditional bikers averaged 5-8 mph, while electric mountain bikes traveled 8-13 mph. This was a difference, but not enough of a difference to cause more accidents, especially if bikers alert others to their presence and ride in control.

know what. Regardless, whether a book is banned or removed from the approved list, it has the same effect—CENSORSHIP.
It is telling to note how some American morality squads in the guise ofcertain school boards, whose main purpose ought to be focused on creating and enhancing an educational structure that maximizes the full learning capacity of every student,hide behind the shibboleth that they are not banning books, but instead “removing them from approved reading lists.” Their explanation is a cowardly euphemism, a distinction without a difference. It simply changes a term or phrase to make the act sound acceptable, even benign, but without lessening its intention. Like saying “frigging” in lieu of hurling the f-bomb. Both mean copulating, but frigging has a venial-sin tone much like saying “gosh dang it” in lieu of you
friend told me she sees dropping books from approved reading lists as nefarious as banning books because the powersthat-be are not only discouraging students from reading those books, but they are also discouraging teachers from teaching or recommending those novels.She notes too that saying books are dropped from approved reading list is less inflammatory than saying certain books are being banned. In so doing, she says, “they and their egregious actreceive less parent awareness of what has been done.”
It’s hard to remember, but regular mountain bikes didn’t become commercially available until the 1980s, and when the early adopters hit trails previously used only by hikers and horseback riders, conflicts happenedPeoplefast.claimed the bikes increased erosion. They worried about collisions and scaring horses. They theorized that mountain bikes would frighten wildlife. Today, those same arguments are being used against electric mountain bikes.
So, what are the impacts of electric mountain bikes. Do they harm trails, or cause more accidents?

It’s a puzzling notion that someone accused her of cheating. It would be one thing if you secretly put a motor in your bike during a race, but when it’s an amateur rider going out for fun and exercise, how is having an electronic boost cheating?

As a longtime Evergreener and active community member, I have had several opportunities to be at events where Lesley Dahlkemper was present. Each time I have been impressed with Lesley’s down to earth approach and ability to listen to constituents. She seems to balance local and statewide leadership in a way that one doesn’t often see. As a grandparent, I am impressed with her commitment to school mental health. As a lover of the foothills and mountains, Lesley’s leadership on open space and the wildfire task force are very important to me. I urge my foothills friends and neighbors to support Lesley Dahlkemper this fall.

“And so I said, ‘I’m happy to do that. I have no medical experience whatsoever, but if he’s just looking for a companion, I can do that,’” Johnston said.While caring for the man, she heard about a book called “Caring for the Dying: The Doula Approach to a Meaningful Death.” Through reading, she learned “death doula” was the term for a person who serves as a compassionate companion to someone at the end of life.
“I think that it’s a great thing to help you on that part of the journey, to have a death doula,” Barr said. “I think that it can help with all of the feelings and fears and emotions.”

Smith was told to go into hospice around February, afterward, Smith’s doctor said chemotherapy might actually be working, and Smith continued getting treatment. However, on May 24, Smith collapsed in a parking lot as she was headed to an appointment.Atthatpoint, Smith stopped getting chemotherapy and she began hospice, which was done at Barr’s home.

She began volunteering in hospice and applied her new skills towards helping care for the man, who passed in October 2017.
In 2015, she was looking for a different career outside of teaching, and a friend asked if she would be interested in serving as an assistant to a man who had amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, a progressive nervous system disease.
Talking about death is hard, she said, but knowledge is power. When she works with clients, she aims to help them prepare for what’s to come and design an ending that best fits with the rest of their life, rather than experiencing a “default panic mode” about
“And hospice, I kind of always thought they would just be there all the time, and that’s not how it works,” Barr said, explaining the nurse came over about three times and the chaplain and social worker each checked in once. “And so just having another support system was huge.”

Before entering the death doula profession, Johnston worked as a high school English teacher.
“And I felt like I had really helped him and his wife just go through that last milestone in a way that honored his story. And I thought, ‘Well gosh, I really want to continue to do this if I can,’” she said.

problem of not being willing and able to talk about something scary, like death, is it just promotes more fear and anxiety. And I really wanted to dismantle that, if I could,” she said.
“She was the one that you could turn to every single time, and she’d be able to do what we needed to do,” BarrAboutcontinued.10years ago, Smith was diagnosed with breast cancer, Barr said. She got a mastectomy and understood that the surgery was curative for her at the time, and she was put on oral medications to try and control hormones.Smithfound out the cancer was back in about 2016, and around 2019, it had worsened and was in her spine. By November 2021, it started to change drastically and her doctor told her she needed to start injectable chemotherapy treatment.

Death doulas help clients at end of life
As a death doula, Johnston typically works with people who are in hospice, and she’s usually contacted by the child of the person dying, she said.

“I tell my clients, I can’t take away the sorrow and the sadness, but maybe with more knowledge, we can focus less on fear and anxiety and more on love and meaning,” she continued.
Barr said it was valuable to have Johnston around, who had been through the process before and would often reassure everyone that they were doing a great job. She said Johnston offered emotional support to people, often explaining what was happening to visitors and helping remove some fear about the situation.
Barr describes death doulas as wonderful people who can guide others through the dying process, whether it be navigating the paperwork, the emotional part or the physical part. She said she’s considering hiring a death doula again to help her get her own affairs in order before this year is over.
lthough she’s healthy, Vanessa Johnston already has a plan for how she’d like to die.
“She started to feel better with some of the symptoms, and then in February, it just didn’t seem like it was responding anymore. And that’s when her doctor was like, you know, I think that you should go into hospice,” Barr said.Smith had a tense relationship with a lot of her family members, and her parents are elderly and didn’t really understand what was happening, Barr said. Smith relied on her friend network, including Barr.
She’ll be close to the outdoors, able to see the trees she loves. The smell of Nag Champa incense will fill the air, and a Spotify playlist she’s created will be playing. Her friends and family will visit, writing down funny stories or memories to share.
Around this time, Barr was reading a fictional book, “The Book of Two Ways,” and through reading, she learned about the concept of death doulas. Her curiosity piqued, and she began Googling death doulas in Colorado to potentially help Smith come to terms with what was happening, as Smith initially was hesitant to acknowledge or accept she was dying, Barr

Originally, around February, Smith began working with a different death doula, but after that person had a family emergency, Smith was referred to
“There are a lot of different names for what I do,” Johnston said, explaining other names include end-of-life doula, death midwife, exit coach and death companion. “The simplest way I can say it is that I provide emotional, spiritual and informational support for people at the end of life, and for their loved ones around them.”
She offers a variety of services including offering information about the dying process, addressing worries and issues, providing emotional support and planning and helping implement the atmosphere the client would like to have as they are dying.

Becoming a death doula

Having a death doula helped get Smith to a point where she could talk about her death and share her wishes with others, Barr said. Johnston also helped Smith’s family and friends navigate the final days, encouraging people to talk about what was happening and to share happy memories of Smith.Johnston also helped get a lawyer and a notary to visit Smith and Barr to complete Smith’s will, something Barr said they were panicked about beforehand.Earlyinthe morning on June 4, Smith passed away in Barr’s home. Upon her passing, Barr asked Johnston to check in with Smith’s parents, as she didn’t have the emotional bandwidth to do so. Johnston also came to Smith’s celebration of life, held at Hudson Gardens.
A warm and welcome friend Rose Barr, a 45-year-old veterinarian at Tender Touch Animal Hospital, met Smith in 2010 through work, and the two became close friends and eventually like family to one “Sheanother.wasvery warm and welcoming. She valued having meaningful relationships with people,” Barr said, her voice filled with emotion. “She had this beautiful laugh, beautiful eyes.”Aveterinary technician of about 20 years, Smith was great at her job — especially when it came to dealing with naughty cats, Barr said.
Originally, Johnston said the idea was to only have a directory of doulas in the nonprofit, but then the members saw there was a need to also have a network of other providers, called affiliate members, such as people working in funeral homes, grief counselors, notaries and so on.
A network of support
“If you try and do all of that at the deathbed, your brain isn’t functioning, nothing is functioning, nothing is in place, and you don’t have that opportunity,” she said.
“When she introduced it to me, what she was doing, it was really interesting. I was kind of surprised, but yet, at the same time, I was like, wow, that’s a really unique business and a unique way to help people,” Wagoner said.While Keeran was completing her training last year, she needed people to practice her skills with, Wagoner said. Wagoner volunteered, and they did the “best three months” course.

“We figured that our voices together would be louder than our voices separately, so that was the impetus for just, let’s get together and cultivate a community,” she said. “We want to provide a community not just for the providers who are doing this work, but for people who need these services.”
“I have a very significant level of gratitude to her because she knows that I can be a different kind of challenge because I know too much,” Sargent said, explaining she looks at situations from every angle. “She keeps me on track.”
Prioritizing education
difficulty was convincing people that her services were valuable and something everyone would benefit from.
Although Sargent had previously done the legal parts of planning and preparing for her death, she said she hadn’t thought about the actual time of death and the type of environment she would like.
Earlier this year, she began working with her friend, Karen Keeran,
She has since begun a new company, Chun Hwa LLC, which focuses on offering yoga and grief counseling, she said. However, as an affiliate member of the nonprofit, she still offers services related to advance care planning and the “business of death,” as she calls it.
“Duringclients.that30-year period of time, clients would come to us because of dysfunctional family, or because they had no family, or where the court made a determination that a disinterested third party was needed to serve in the role of conservator,” she said.
She had learned about death doulas a few years ago from a friend, she said. Following her retirement in 2021, she began her six-month training with the Conscious Dying Institute, as well as began training to become a certified nurse aide. In February 2022, she also completed training through the Conscious Dying Institute as a conscious dying educator.“Knowledge and information, I’m a big believer in, reduces fear,” she said. “I want to be able to bring that planning to the fore and have that in place before we reach (the) end of life.”

She began connecting with other doulas in the Denver area, and in 2020, they decided to form the Colorado End-of-Life Collaborative, a nonprofit membership organization. She explained it helped create a support network for the doulas and get the word out about their profession.
“It’s that community that says, nobody can do this work alone,” Sargent said about the nonprofit, explaining members of the collaborative can call on one another for assistance. “All of the members of that group have a specialty, have a passion.”
Now, there are more than 35 affiliate members across Colorado, and the number is growing, she said.
Choosing to become a death doula was a spiritual type of decision for Keeran.In2020, a year before she retired from her career in business, Keeran was meditating and asked the universe what she should do next. She said she woke up the next morning and it was like a light switch had been turned on — she should become a death doula.

A main focus for Keeran, she said, is targeting education efforts toward older generations, communicating the value of putting together an end-of-life plan and exploring topics of pain, caregiving and medical aid in dying. She also helps people learn about the variety of body disposition options available to people in Colorado, such as water cremation.
who recently became a death doula. Together, they began discussing Sargent’s wishes, such as having a calm and quiet environment when she is close to passing.
With this goal of educating and helping others, Keeran launched her business, Golden Heart Transition, this spring. She offers a range of services including grief support, doula services, end-of-life planning and coaching using the “best three months” model developed by the Conscious Dying Institute.
“You want to do all of your planning at a time where there can be stories that are told,” she said, explaining planning ahead of time allows for more consideration of options and for a person’s loved ones to understand the plan as well.

One of her first clients was her friend, Maxine Wagoner, an owner of a yoga studio in Golden that Keeran is a member of. Wagoner said she had never heard of a death doula until Keeran approached her.
“You have to put yourself in a mindset of, you have three months left to live. And then, in that three-month time, what practically do you want to accomplish?” Wagoner said. “And it was good to be able to do it without actually being in that situation.”

Keeran agreed, saying she has seen how hospice nurses and aides are limited in how much time they can serve clients. She said she sees death doulas as offering specialty services, also noting that limiting death doulas to hospice care could reduce the number of people the doulas can serve.
“I’m very hesitant to get into any kind of a role in the medical care system,” she said, explaining she worries about over-regulation. “If I were to be, like, a Medicare benefit, then I would have this obligation to follow these strict rules, which really hampers my

“We don’t know when we’re going to pass unless we’ve been given that kind of diagnosis. So for me, it was really powerful and … made me feel strong about it,” Wagoner said. “It’s just a very comforting feeling, and empowering yourself to be able to express what you really want, because to family members sometimes, you can’t express that.”
Although she said she wants to legitimize the profession, she’s hesitant about the idea of establishing a national certification board for death doulas, as there currently is not one.

However, being outside the medical care system can hinder people’s willingness to pay for the death doula services since it’s out-of-pocket, she said.
As educators about death and dying, both Johnston and Keeran expressed the importance of changing how people discuss death and dying, such as not associating it with giving up or as a “Wefailure.know

“It’s this tricky thing of establishing value while providing the service, but I really think that the future of death doulas remains outside the medical care system just because that independence and flexibility, I think, is how we serve our clients the best,” Johnston said.
“When somebody says, ‘That must be so depressing,’ I’m like, actually it’s the complete opposite,” Johnston said. “When you deal with death on a daily basis, it really makes you value life.”
The priorities presented by Deputy Superintendent Kym LeBlanc-Esparza covered high quality instructional materials and practices, students reading on grade level by third grade, each student being proficient at math by fifth and eight grade, on track credit-wise as a ninth grader, and every student having the “knowledge and skills for a post-secondary life” when they graduate.Thespecific grade levels were called “foundational” for those subjects.

LeBlanc-Esparz responded that further data like test scores will be used, and she highlighted another point of Reed’s that students must also have input to be able to “own” their

Whether it was for the free BBQ or the Jeffco officials, almost 200 county residents attended the 22nd Annual Legislative BBQ at Red Rocks Community College on Sept. 7.
Donald Rosier, a Republican candidate running for Dahlkemper’s commissioner seat, highlighted his previous experience of two terms as county commissioner and that his priorities would be the same.

Brady stressed supporting “the most vulnerable out on the street, with mental health and addiction issues” through “compassion and accountability.” He continued that the “state needs to prioritize more funding to help those folks with their mental health and addictions issues.”“When we don’t know what to do with [the homeless], jail should not be the option,” said Marinelli. She highlighted that “putting someone in jail because they’re homeless is not an Jerryoption.”DiTullio, the current county treasurer also spoke, highlighting fiscal savings over the last few years of his tenure, with Faye Griffin running against him this year.

To her, the event was casual. She wasn’t anticipating asking any questions but was there as a “first attempt” to learn about the candidates.Others, like Lakewood resident Valeria Palmer, saw a free annual BBQ event and thought it was “worth checking out.”

Congressional candidates spoke as well as local.

No matter the motivation, everyone involved believed the communication was helpful, whether resident, official, or one of the nonprofits that put the event on.
About 30 county officials, whether representative or coroner, and both incumbents and candidates alike, mingled with the crowd before each spoke on a prepared question. For some attendees, this was a chance to hear an official’s thoughts for the first time and start their research ahead of the November elections.
The Jefferson Center was one of the four non-profits that put on the event, along with the Developmental Disabilities Resource Center, Family Tree and the Seniors’ Resource Center.“Ithink it’s fantastic,” said County Commissioner Andy Kerr, when asked about this communication. “It gets a lot of the service providers with folks receiving services along with the people representing them.” He said the forum models “American civic responsibility,” where, even if officials and residents have differing perspectives, people can still “sit to have a civil conversation.”County Commissioner Lesley Dahlkemper, who’s running for re-election this November, thought similarly.

Conflicting accounts
Adult friction
River of fire
WEST PLATTE RIVER ROAD –The 911 report received on the night of Aug. 20 warned of shots fired. A lot of them. “Rapid fire” shots, the caller said. Responding deputies encountered an effusively armed foursome parked beside the Platte and pouring a ferocious fusillade into the opposite bank. A quick inventory of armament revealed “several different rifles,” all legal, a shotgun, also legal, an ample supply of perfectly legal ammo, and “several high capacity magazines,” not legal.
center telephones rang with calls from alarmed neighbors. The shooter explained to deputies that he’d just wanted to show his friend “my new handgun,” and had demonstrated his facility with the firearm by peppering a pine tree in his back yard. Noting that Shooter seemed less than completely compos mentis, deputies asked if he’d be willing to take a breathalyzer test. Shooter admitted having “a beer” earlier, and while he refused to breathe into a tube he said he’d be more than happy to “submit a blood sample.” Deputies gave shooter a summons for shooting with a snootful.

CONIFER – It was all very neighborly. A group of neighbors coming together on the morning of Aug. 19 to help a neighbor. They parked their cars along the side of the neighborhood street, and when yet another neighbor came home to find one of them crowding his driveway, he fell off of his trolley. “Yelling and cussing” is how the neighbors described it. The unpropitious parker begged pardon and ran to move his vehicle. Old Yeller punched him in the jaw for his trouble. Then he punched the neighbor who objected to the first punch. The neighbors called JCSO, asking only that deputies encourage Old Yeller toward less vigorous methods of conflict resolution in future. Old Yeller told deputies he only nailed his neighbors “in self defense” because he was outnumbered “10 on 1.” Deputies told Old Yeller that next time he should try “a better way to settle a dispute.”
Mr. Rogers unplugged
INDIAN HILLS – Hatfield and McCoy have a long-running feud about “who can do what” with the country road that serves their respective properties. On the afternoon of Aug. 19, Hatfield informed JCSO that McCoy was digging a trench to divert rainwater off of the road and onto Hatfield land, and that he can’t do that. Deputies quickly determined that the shallow trench in question was almost certainly a product of nature, and in any case it wasn’t aimed at Hacienda Hatfield. Frustrated, but not finished, Hatfield demanded that officers charge McCoy with vandalism for breaking two of the motion-activated lights on his garage, a charge for which he lacked any shred of evidence. Contacted for comment, McCoy denied damaging Hatfield’s property, but took the opportunity to lodge a few apparently groundless counter-charges of his own. Not taking the bait, deputies advised both men to “act like adults” and “stay away from each other” and stop “blaming one another for things you can’t prove.”

Boss immediately fired New Employee and called JCSO, telling deputies he owed her at least one paycheck. New Employee told deputies he’d never received the disputed deposit, and that the account number used by the payroll company wasn’t even his. Perceiving the missing emolument to be more an accounting problem than a legal one, deputies withdrew.

ready for Recycle Day Getting the junk out of our community
Our focus, as always, is on hard to recycle items including appliances, electronics, mattresses, scrap metals, and household hazardous waste such as paint, stain, antifreeze, batteries of all sorts and fluorescent light bulbs. We’ll also have two 30yard containers generously provided by Waste Management for landfill items that can’t be recycled.
Our program needs your help to continue providing every child in our community the opportunity to develop a love for books and reading! Please consider donating to our program. Just $25.00 will provide one child with monthly books for one year. You can make a donation through our website – imaginationlibrary.com.
invite you to come and see for yourself what makes our club so very special. We currently meet every Friday morning, 7:00 am. To join us for breakfast (or virtually via Zoom) or to learn more about the Club please contact our Membership
