Kay La Montagne with the Evergreen Design Center talks with an attendee at the Foothills Home, Garden & Lifestyle Show at Evergreen High School. The annual event brings vendors for indoor and outdoor items, plus area nonprofits to one place.

Foothills home show has something for everyone

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Spring was in the air on April 1 for the 16th annual Foothills Home, Garden and Lifestyle Show at Evergreen High School.

It’s no joke that the warmer weather put starting new home projects and preparing gardens for planting in the minds of attendees. Vendors were happy to answer questions about everything from roofs and gutters to plants and landscaping.

Nonprofits also had tables to make area residents aware of what they do.

It was business as usual in downtown Morrison the morning of April 1 despite the Hogback Fire that was still burning though under control three miles north.

Patrons stopping into Morrison Joe coffee shop Saturday morning were no longer concerned about the fire that on March 31 caused pre-evacuation orders of the entire town and subdivisions on the east side of C-470. The fire, which burned 44 acres near Interstate 70 between Highway 93 and C-470, was 70% contained as of 1 p.m. April 2.

According to officials, the Hogback Fire was caused by a power line downed by exceptionally strong winds on March 31. Pre-evacuation orders for Morrison, Solterra and Red Rocks Ranch were lifted later that night.

Larry Kunz of Morrison said he was happy that the fire was contained, especially with the winds SEE HOGBACK, P4

HOME SHOW FROM PAGE 1

There was something for everyone from the nearly 100 vendors.

Vendors were locals such as Red Rocks Toffee Company and Mountain Hearth & Patio and larger companies such as LeafFilter Gutter Protection, Gravina’s Window Center and Home Depot.

Attendees who perused the booths also could talk with representatives from Evergreen National Bank, Rotary Wildfire Ready and Tim Zandee Photography.

The Evergreen Animal Protective League and the Inter-Mountain Humane Society had tables where people could learn about pet adoptions, while Wild Aware volunteers explained how to live harmoniously with wildlife.

Vertical Skills Academy representatives talked about the private school for children with dyslexia, while Mount Evans Home Health Care and Hospice representatives discussed the programs they offer.

Reflections in Metal, which creates everything from custom metal doors and gates to home decorations, was set up along the school’s main hallway. Randy Gilmore and Scott Cunnius are part of the family team that creates the metalwork out of their shop in Cortez, Colorado.

The company also has displayed its wares at Evergreen’s Summerfest.

In addition to the vendors, volunteers from the Conifer and Evergreen Rotary clubs were available to help out, and they were happy to add more members to their orga-

nizations. The two organizations co-sponsor the event that rotates between Evergreen and Conifer high schools. Net proceeds are donated

to area nonprofits, and the Rotary clubs have distributed more than $300,000 since the first show in 2005.

All in all, the steady stream of at-

tendees walking through Evergreen High School carrying bags of literature helped prove the event was a success.

Dear Davis Schilken, My parents are nearing their end after a long rich life full of love and laughter. We are fortunate enough to have spent many nights around the dinner table laughing with friends and family with them. However, they have recently informed me that they have not done any sort of Estate Planning to date. Will everything be OK? How can we ensure that their affairs are in order?

Sincerely, Worried William Hi William, While the testament “better late than never” always rings true, it is important to avoid these “death bed” planning scenarios. Given your letter, I understand mom and dad aren’t quite to that point. It’s important to remember the following:

None of us likes to think about our own death or enjoys planning for that occasion. However, if you do not create an estate plan or fail to update it regularly, you are likely setting your loved ones up for even more stress and grief after you pass away. It may add to your own stress and impede your peace of mind during your lifetime because of the uncertainty that your wishes and goals will be fulfilled.

If you have not updated your estate plan to include loved ones who are not provided for in your existing plan, you may be tempted to make deathbed gifts. It may bring you pleasure to make significant gifts to loved ones because of the joy it may bring to them.

Many things can go awry with death bed planning such as accidental inheritance, accidental disinheritance, unforeseen consequences in dealing with probate, costly attorney’s fees and court fees, unpaid taxes, and even creditor claims. Other things like failure to establish your Powers of Attorney can put your family in a bind and may necessitate petitioning the court for a Guardianship or Conservatorship – both of which can be avoided by planning ahead of time.

Estate planning is never about how much you have, but how much you care about what you have.

EVERGREEN PARK & RECREATION DISTRICT BRIEFS

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

North Trail project open house

April 11 is the day to learn all about the Evergreen Lake North Trail project.

The Evergreen Park & Recreation District is hosting an open house from 5:30-7 p.m. that night at the Evergreen Lake House. Representatives from the district, the contractor and others involved in the project will be available to answer questions and provide information.

The district has about $5 million, most of it from grants, to pay to construct a two-tiered trail — one along Evergreen Parkway and one along the shore from what is known as the fishermen’s parking lot to the Evergreen dam. Evergreen’s ESCO Construction is doing the work.

A Zoom option will be available at https://Bit.ly/ELNTMeeting or at evergreenrecreation.com.

“This is a super-exciting time,” said Chris Vogelsang with OV Consultants, who is overseeing the project for EPRD. “We’re about ready to start this big endeavor.”

A detour will be in place for no more than 120 days during construction where vehicles traveling southbound will drive along the lake, while those going northbound will travel through downtown Evergreen, onto Meadow Drive to Evergreen Parkway.

He said the detour, which has been a big concern for the district and the community, will start in May, though an exact date has not been determined, and is expected

to be over by Labor Day. Drive time through Evergreen is expected to take an additional 10 minutes, and Vogelsang assured the EPRD board at its meeting on March 27 that a task force is available to create a better plan if the delays become onerous.

Flaggers will be on the east end of downtown Evergreen to help drivers turning left onto Meadow Drive, and officials are looking at options to help drivers turning left onto Evergreen Parkway from Douglas Park Road.

Vogelsang said OV Consulting and others involved with the project are doing everything they can to inform businesses, residents and the community about the project, so they are not blindsided when the detour goes into effect.

“The magnitude and breadth of the outreach has been huge,” he said.

He also has met with Evergreen Fire/Rescue and the Jeffco Sheriff ’s SEE EPRD BRIEFS, P7

that some meteorologists said gusted to 70 mph.

Brent Lewis of Morrison said with everything being so dry and the recent winds, he’s worried about outof-towners frequenting the many parks in the area who don’t realize the potential danger one spark can cause.

“That dead wood just explodes,” he said.

Just this weekend, the Hogback Fire was one of several fires in Colorado, including the Bear Fire northwest of Golden that fire crews containing to 7.5 acres and authorities believe was human caused.

In addition, fire crews continue to battle the 403 Fire that has burned 1,450 acres in Park and Teller counties as of 4 p.m. April 2, and a fire broke out in Cimarron Hills east of Colorado Springs on April 2.

“We absolutely have to be vigilant right now,” said Stacee Martin, assistant fire chief with Evergreen Fire/Rescue. “This is that awkward shoulder season where we don’t have green grass, and we have some moisture but not enough. Things are still brown, and that’s what is catching fire. This is the time of year we all hold our breath.”

With low humidity and high winds, the danger is even higher.

“If you see a smoke column or active flames, call 911,” she said. “We are happy to check it out.”

Be prepared to leave and create plans for what to take and where to meet your family, and do mitigation

now while the weather is getting better and before it’s time to plant, she said.

“There is no end to wildfire season in Colorado,” Martin said. “It’s yearround. Right now in particular, keep your head on a swivel.”

Hogback Fire

As of April 2, Matthews/Winters Park is still closed, though all roads in the area have reopened as fire crews continue to ensure no hotspots flare up.

The first calls reporting the fire came in around 2:15 p.m. March 31, according to West Metro Fire. Many area fire departments sent firefight-

ers and trucks to help including South Metro, Genesee, Foothills, Evergreen, Inter-Canyon, Indian Hills, North Fork, Fairmount and Elk Creek. Aid came from as far as Castle Rock.

Officials at about 8:15 p.m. March 31 lifted pre-evacuation orders for the Solterra subdivision, Red Rocks Ranch and the town of Morrison, though the March 31 concert at Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre was postponed.

On April 1, Evergreen Fire/Rescue continued to assist West Metro Fire in monitoring the area.

The fire started on the west side of the hogback close to the main

Matthews/Winters Park trailhead but spread onto the east side of the hogback. Helicopters were unable to operate in the windy conditions, and thus could not provide water drops, according to West Metro Fire.

As of 6 p.m. March 31, crews on the west side of the hogback were securing the perimeter while their counterparts on the east side were watching for spot fires. Eastside crews were also setting up a progressive hose lay to get water up the steep slope to the top of the ridge.

They’re also using saws to cut out vegetation, taking away fuel from the fire, West Metro Fire reported.

Putting it down in writing Evergreen’s Young Writers important.”

Knapp, a full-time author, used humor and storytelling to encourConference lauds work of age the student authors to use their every day even though elementary school students imaginations there are many distractions.

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The books written by the authors at the Young Writers Conference come in all shapes and sizes.

The authors in kindergarten through fifth grade brought books that were bound, hand-written or typed with illustrations from photos to crayon drawings. No matter what the books looked like, the 200 authors were lauded for their creativity and writing success.

The Young Writers Conference has been an annual event in the foothills for decades, and after a two-year hiatus thanks to the pandemic, it returned on March 30 with smallgroup readings for the children, workshops for parents and keynote speaker Jefferson Knapp, who spoke to parents and students about the book-writing process.

After students read their books, they are given gold stickers similar to the foil seals given to Newbery Award-winning books.

The Bergens, Marshdale, Wilmot and Parmalee elementary schools, and Rocky Mountain Academy of Evergreen participated.

Organizers were pleased with the turnout as students and parents walked through Marshdale Elementary School.

“The conference elevates the importance of both reading and writing,” conference organizer Kristin Pulioff previously said. “It gives students a chance to share what they have written and be proud of their work. It’s not just work they do in class and take home. They are rewarded for their work.”

Conference organizer Kristin Manley added: “It shows them how their writing is special. They see themselves as writers, and that’s

“Imagination got me through life,” he said, though he noted that it’s easier to write about what you know.

Knapp also creates a plot outline, so he doesn’t get writer’s block.

Once the story is written, he said, “the awful truth is you have to go back and edit your own work.”

He likened the first draft of the story to being a skeleton and then subsequent drafts are adding the skin and the clothes until finally the story is finished.

In addition to Knapp’s presentation, parents could listen to presentations on topics including internet safety, being a reading superhero to your kids, using place-based education to teach literature, contagious creativity, and helping kids recognize and cope with anxiety.

Listening to student-author stories

Emily Bennett, a teacher at Bergen Meadow, first worked with a group of kindergartners and then with third graders, saying she enjoyed hearing books from different ages.

“This has been great,” she said. “It’s so much fun.”

Marshdale third grader Addy Ford read her book titled “Koala Heroes,” a fantasy about koalas needing to fight a yeti and time traveling into the future. Members of Addy’s group called the story unique and said they liked that the heroes were a family of koalas. One liked that it was a fantasy story.

Others in the group wrote books called “Sunnie’s Adventure,” “The Great Adventure,” and the “10 Best Movies to Watch.”

Parmalee fifth graders Sienna Winters and Annika Bergstrand, along with Rocky Mountain Academy of Evergreen fifth grader Tara James, read their books in a group, and they agreed they were enjoying the conference.

Annika Bergstrand, a fifth grader at Parmalee Elementary School, reads the book she wrote to Sienna Winters, left, and Tara James, right, during the Young Writers Conference. Heidi Todd, a teacher at Rocky Mountain Academy of Evergreen, facilitated the group.

Teacher Heidi Todd, who facilitated the fifth-grade group, said the books the students wrote were well organized.

“I’m thrilled to work with the fifthgrade group,” Todd said. “Their writing is energizing. Their vocabulary is at a high level, and they use a lot of description.”

Annika said she liked creating characters for the stories in the books she writes, and Sienna said she liked to read, so writing was a natural extension of that.

Tara added: “I want to make people (who read my books) like reading as much as I do.”

For the love of dance Essential Dance Company in Conifer allows adults to continue their education, perform

Dance class is not just for young children.

The Essential Dance Company is the perfect example. Based at Peak Academy of Dance in Conifer, Essential Dance is for those out of high school who still want to dance, learn, move and create.

About 15 dancers — ranging in age from 18 to 70 — congregate at the dance studio every Sunday.

WANT TO GO? The Essential Dance Company will perform “Together Again” at 2 p.m. April 15 and at 6 p.m. April 16 at the Indigo Bridge Theater at Peak Academy of Dance. Tickets are available at peakdance.com.

They are alumni of Peak Academy of Dance, alumni of instructor Nicole O’Farrell’s 20-plus years of teaching, dance teachers and parents of current Peak Academy students. The classes are free.

“We show up and dance for the love of it,” O’Farrell said. “Most of them have past dance experience, but someone who hasn’t had dance experience is invited, too.”

The participants don’t want to

dance professionally or take strict college dance courses, but they don’t want to stop altogether. Essential Dance provides something in between.

O’Farrell, who has been teaching at Peak Academy of Dance since 2008, started Essential Dance in 2020, and the group has met weekly and performed in two shows since then. The third called “Together Again” will be April 15-16.

“It’s important for us to have a place to call home and a place to dance,” O’Farrell said.

The dancers meet at 11 a.m. on Sundays for a social hour, followed by a 90-minute dance class, sometimes ballet, sometimes hip-hop and sometimes what O’Farrell calls contazzical: a combination of contemporary, jazz and lyrical styles.

After the class, those interested

in performing in the show stay for another 90 minutes to choreograph and practice.

The participants say dancing is a way to connect with friends and is their therapy. Dancing is a need, not a want.

“I love dancing,” student Danielle Knisely said, “but I don’t want to be a professional dancer or in competition against other dancers. I want to be with my friends.”

“Together Again” is a very personal show, they said, looking at the emotions that most people feel. The title speaks to allowing the dancers, some who danced at Peak Academy as children, to return to the studio and gather after the pandemic.

“We’re here to move and not torture themselves,” O’Farrell said. “We are not here to impress others but to dance and feel life.”

“We are asking for everybody’s patience, but it will be worth it in the end,” Vogelsang said.

Turning homes into employee housing

The five homes that the Evergreen Park & Recreation District owns in Buchanan Park are slated to become housing for district employees in an effort to retain and attract employees.

The EPRD board at its March 27 meeting gave staff the go-ahead to begin talking to the tenants about not renewing their leases and to begin asking staff members, especially seasonal and those in low-paying positions, about whether they would be interested in renting from the rec district.

Board members agreed that the current tenants should be given as much time as possible to find new locations. Two homes are along Evergreen Parkway and include the Blue Spruce Habitat for Humanity office, and three are along Bergen Parkway.

Not all board members thought this was a great idea. Board President Don Rosenthal said he was strongly opposed to the rec district becoming a landlord for employees, though he agreed that providing housing for seasonal employees might be appropriate.

“This would be turning us into a housing agency, a distraction from our main purpose to provide recreation opportunities,” Rosenthal said.

A rendering of what the soft-surface trail along Evergreen Lake will look like when it is built later this year.

Executive Director Cory Vander Veen said creating employee housing stems from the district having a difficult time filling some positions and not retaining employees because they can’t afford to live in the foothills.

“Last year we had to close the Wulf (rec center) pool a half dozen times because we didn’t have staff,” he said.

He noted that the district was spending a lot of money on training because of the turnover in staff, something that could be curtailed if staff had affordable places to live in Evergreen.

Vander Veen noted that most of the houses would need upgrades before district employees moved in.

Board member Mary McGhee said the ski industry offers similar options for its employees.

“I think we should try it for a few years and see if it is a success and helps with recruitment and retention,” McGhee said. “If it’s a success, we can keep going with it.”

Board member Peter Eggers was 100% in favor offering the housing.

Board members said they would leave it up to the staff to determine rents and housing arrangements.

The board will receive an update at its April 25 meeting.

New workout equipment

The workout equipment at the Buchanan and Wulf recreation centers will get needed improvements.

The Evergreen Park & Recreation District budgeted $40,000 to buy additional equipment in 2023, and staff has asked for an additional $40,000 or more to buy even more equipment.

“Because we’re competitive and reliant on memberships, we don’t want to lose members because of the equipment we offer,” Executive Director Cory Vander Veen told the board at its March 27 meeting.

EPRD has some additional funds since it isn’t conducting an election in May. Board members indicated they were in favor of the additional expenditure, and staff will bring two options to the board to consider at its April 25 meeting.

VOICES Novelty: Moving into your creative zone

ast month I talked about Am-

biguity, the fourth in my FivePart series on our relationship with time, how we respond to it in the forms it takes in our lives.

This month, let’s look at the final aspect in this series: what happens when you move successfully from Ambiguity into Novelty.

If Ambiguity is about having no focus or passion with too many options to choose from, Novelty is the state you reach when you choose what you want to focus on, and your passions get ignited to get them going. All of them. At once.

For example, you just came out of the post-holiday season, weathered the dark of winter, and are seeing the beginnings of spring – you’re pulled into the daytime sunshine and able to feel how warm it can be. It’s a novel feeling to have after the cold and short days.

When novelty thaws us, we are able to focus on our passions again.

You want to put your winter sweaters away, get the garden prepped for planting, start researching

summer vacation spots. You’re touring schools with your college-bound senior, taking on the long-put-off bathroom renovation, cleaning out the garage, starting an exercise program, reducing sugar from family diet, planChristine Kahane the ning the visit from your relatives, finishing up a huge project at work, hiring new staff… you get the picture.

Instead of your list looking daunting or insurmountable, you’re energized to get them ALL done NOW. You feel productive, gain a tremendous sense of accomplishment, and pride as you complete your projects.

You power through any exhaustion and that nagging frazzled-feeling because the powerful sense of showing up in the world can be intoxicating.

Are you there? If you’re not sure, listen to how you describe your days—do you say things like, “I’m

crazy-busy” or “my life is insane?”

Look for signs that you may be becoming overwhelmed or anxious.

Panic-attacks, storm-eating, sleeplessness, over-indulging alcohol or recreational drugs and watching TV or being on social media for many hours a day are just a few of the signals you may be too occupied to keep up the pace you’ve set for yourself.

What’s happening is a shift into over-drive where you are captive to the high energy and excitement of all the projects you have going on. And, while your creative surges are filling your tank in some aspects, they are also keeping you from self-calming, and unwinding which leads to anxiety and overwhelm.

Here are a few tools I use with my clients to help them self-regulate and move from Novelty into Stillness—(the point where we began this series).

Recognize one overwhelm pattern: One example is scrolling on Facebook for hours a day. Set an alarm and put your device down

when it sounds. Stand up, move away from your device and shake your body – dance around – sing – walk outside for five minutes to break up the energy.

Practice relaxation techniques that are repetitive: If you don’t have one, one of my favorites is box breathing: breathe in for four counts, hold for four counts, breathe out for four counts and hold for four counts again. Repeat at least three times.

Welcome your empty mind: When a thought keeps cycling without a resolution, stop and thank it, then let it know you will give it attention – record a day and time. Notice how your mind clears.

It was my mom and dad’s dream to raise a family in the mountains. They accomplished this dream. My dad sold his business, we uprooted from our home in Arkansas and moved to a mountain home in Colorado. I was C

Sometimes it’s hard for me to remember that my dad has Parkinson’s disease.

He was diagnosed about 12 years ago.

In many ways, he is the same Mr. Fixit. But in other ways, he is not. It’s Christy Steadman the little things. The day I moved into my new condo, as a first-time homebuyer this past fall, I thought nothing of

it when asking my dad to bring his tools so he could change the front door lock. I thought this would be an easy chore for him while everyone else carried the heavy moving boxes up and down the stairs. That he remembered the tools is a win given his Parkinson’s. But my mom discreetly told me that he wouldn’t be able to change the lock — because of the cognitive skills he has lost over the years to the disease. And, thinking back, it’s possible that she brought the tools for him, though I didn’t ask.

Again, it’s the little things that

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive and degenerative brain disorder that affects a person’s muscle movement. But it is so much more than a movement disorder. The disease itself is not necessarily fatal, but complications can be serious and it can greatly diminish quality of life.

Along with the motor, or movement, symptoms, there are many other symptoms. People with Parkinson’s

OBITUARIES ZABLOCKI

Carole Zablocki

February 15, 1932 - March 26, 2023

Carole Zablocki, 91, of Evergreen, Colorado, passed away March 26, 2023 in the company of her sons, Craig and Curtis, and dear friend Gloria.

Carole was born in Duluth, Minnesota, on February 15, 1932.

There she grew up in a loving house with her mother, grandparents, and sister. She graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1954 to become a school teacher.

After working a summer job in Yellowstone National Park, Carole fell in love with the Rocky Mountain West and moved to Denver to teach physical education and health.

In Denver she met Charlie Zablocki - a strapping geophysicist from New York. They shared a love of dancing and immediately fell in love. They married on February 13, 1958 in Denver and moved to Evergreen in 1969.

There they raised three children - Christine, Craig and Curtis.

Charlie’s job took the family to various HESTER

locations with assignments to Hawaii, Washington DC and Saudi Arabia, and eventually returning to Evergreen.

Carole was always a curious explorer and continued traveling throughout her life.

Tragedy struck the family when Carole’s only daughter, Christine, was killed in 1986.

Charlie passed away in 2002.

Carole found solace with her deep network of close friends and in the mountains, hiking and cross-country skiing and breathing the cool alpine air.

She is survived by her sons Craig and Curtis, daughter-in-law Jill, and grandchildren Charles, Owen, and Dexter.

Family and friends are welcome to attend a celebration of life, which will be held at Evergreen Memorial Park (In the barn) on Wednesday, April 12 at 11:00 AM followed by a reception. Memorial donations can be made to Jefferson County Open Space.

can develop mood disorders, such as depression, anxiety, apathy and irritability. There’s also dementia, an issue that affects not just my dad, but our whole family.

Things have become slower year by year in the 12 years since my dad’s diagnosis. That doesn’t mean the decline has been steady or that family life has ground to a halt. I’m thankful that for many years my dad could still do almost everything. Now, it’s just life at a much slower pace and nothing that we, as a family, can’t manage with a little patience.

One example: family celebrations and get-togethers. It takes him longer to unwrap a gift. So, now I am conscious about making sure there’s not too much tape securing the paper or too many ribbons to untie.

Parkinson’s is weird because some changes in my dad happened slowly while others seemed to come about all of a sudden.

For instance, five years ago, my dad could still take the family out for a day of boating on Chatfield Reservoir. And, just one year ago, he was driving his truck with no problems.

Today, my dad cannot do those things. He cannot walk up stairs alone.

Falling is one of the more serious complications of the disease.

Falls can be fatal if they happen at the wrong time in the wrong place, like on a staircase or slipping on ice somewhere on the five-and-a-half acre property in Bailey where my parents live.

He did experience a couple of falls this winter. Both were serious enough that they required hospitalization and surgery, followed by weeks of rehab in a nursing home.

During one of our visits in the nursing home, in the metro area, my dad said he’s doing OK. Then he said, “I want to be closer to the

mountains.” I told him he needs to try to remember not to fall so he could be at home in the mountains again.

Now he has a walker, but his Parkinson’s makes him forget that he needs to use it. The dementia seems to be coming faster. So, it’s a cycle: he tries to get up out of his chair and walk somewhere and somebody, usually my mother, has to stop him or he likely falls again. Falling is now part of my dad’s life – and our family’s.

It is still unknown why or how people develop Parkinson’s. Research on the causes and efforts to lessen the severity are making progress. According to the Parkinson’s Foundation, “scientists believe a combination of genetic and environmental factors” are to blame. Still, there is no cure for Parkinson’s. I like to think that someday there will be one. Science is already going in the right direction, with first-of-its-kind surgeries already developed and being perfected, and new movement-based therapies that directly target the parts of the brain that help people with Parkinson’s gain control of their movement.

If a big breakthrough on Parkinson’s comes, it probably will not be in time for my dad, maybe not even for me if I ever develop the disease.

I hold hope for the possibility for big improvements, or even a cure, in the lifetimes of my nieces or their children.

Awareness months offer us all a time for reflection. They give people hope and motivate them and, perhaps most importantly, create the opportunity to share knowledge and personal stories, like mine and my dad’s.

April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month. It also happens that it is the month of my dad’s birthday. We’ll all get together, I’m sure. In my mom and dad’s mountain home.

One citizen at a time ften, I write about the wide

political differences in our country. Our lack of respect for those with whom we disagree politically seems to be a critical problem. President Lincoln warned that “if destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher.”

Since I am an optimistic person, I keep believing the great divide among us will be healed. It is my hope and prayer that our dysfunctional actions toward each other will end.

My optimism took a hit as I studied the results of a recent Wall Street Journal survey. The results show that the values that have traditionally defined us are no longer held in high esteem. The survey flies in the face of the idea there is more that unites us than divides us. Apparently, that is no longer true.

The new data was captured this year by NORC at the University of Chicago and the Wall Street journal.

These data were compared with a similar survey in 1998 conducted by

NBC News and the Journal. The questions and methodology were identical, but the results were dramatically different. According to the results, the changes were consistent across age lines. The respondents were asked Columnist if these values are very important to them. The survey had 38% of respondents say patriotism is important to them vs. 70% in 1998. Similarly, only 39% called religion important vs. 62% in the earlier survey. As to the importance of having children, the score decreased from 50% to 25%, The question which asked the importance of community involvement also showed a decrease from 43% to 22%.

In summary, patriotism, religion, service to ones’ community and the idea of raising children have all dropped dramatically in importance

JIM ROHRER

to our citizens. The only item that increased in its importance was money. It’s hard to take any pleasure from learning about these changes.

Perhaps our misguided wars have dulled patriotism along with a volunteer military. Failures of some organized religions may have cost religions some favor. Perhaps the growth of the importance of money and a loss in community service are intertwined. American workers have gained little in real dollars over the last 40 years so perhaps they spend all their time trying to pound out a living leaving less time to volunteer.

Perhaps the idea of American exceptionalism has run its course.

The bottom line is that this survey, with a reasonably large number of respondents, is telling us that we lack the character of days gone by. The constant negative focus of whichever party is out of power has convinced us that everything is bad and getting worse. We have been in this low place before President Reagan painted the picture of the shining city on the hill for us.

Sorry that this article is so dark.

It seems that all is lost. Whenever in my life I have had overwhelming problems, I think about my father.

He was a amazing man, a member of the greatest generation. Here’s what he would say: “You can not let the negative overtake you. Focus on what’s positive.”

He would implore me to work harder to affect what I can and to be the best possible person I could be.

Above all, he would encourage me that I would be successful at the task at hand. I do believe that regaining a focus on what’s right and following that path is how we became a great nation and we can do that again… one citizen at a time. Thanks, Pappy.

Skin care for spring and summer Tips from a dermatologist Students and families in the Pikes Peak region are gearing up for spring break later this month. Whether it’s a sandy beach or the snowy slopes,

there are several skin care tips to keep in mind.

The most important advice a dermatologist can give you is: no matter the season, protect your skin from solar radiation. There is nothing that will benefit your skin as much, espe-

cially if you are thinking long term.

Whether you are going to enjoy the break on the mountains or at the beach, protect your skin from ultraviolet rays by using sun protective clothing, hats, and sunglasses, as well as applying sunscreen to the exposed areas.

For skiers, although most of the skin is covered by gear, it is very easy to forget the face. Don’t make that mistake. At high altitude, you are exposed to significantly more intense ultraviolet radiation than at sea level. Apply a generous amount of sunscreen on your entire face and neck before you put on your scarf, face cover, helmet or goggles. Even though you think most of your skin is covered, it is common to have people with intense facial sunburn after a day in the mountains - the classic skier sunburn that only spares the areas around the eyes, which are covered by the goggles. A useful tip is carrying in your pocket a sunscreen in a stick, so you can

apply to the face without even taking your gloves off, while waiting in lift lines. It is easy to lose track of time when we are having fun in the slopes, so make sure to reapply every few runs.

After a fun day in the mountains, most people like a hot shower or a hot tub. While this feels lovely, remember that, associated with the dry air of the mountains and of heated spaces, this will dry your skin. Apply thick moisturizing cream to your skin at the end of the day to prevent dry or itchy skin.

If you are going to be at a sunny destination to enjoy the ocean or the pool, more of your skin will be exposed to the sun. Clothes provide a physical barrier to protect your skin, and there are several brands that offer clothes with ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) number, which are made for outdoor activities. They have cool breathable fabric, and some also can be used for swimming.

Regarding the sunscreen for the beach, look for one that is water resistant (stays effective for 40 minutes in the water) or very water resistant (stays effective for 80 minutes in the water). Even if your skin remains dry while using a water-resistant sunscreen, you’ll need to reapply the sunscreen every 2 hours. Also, don’t forget your feet! If you’re wearing sandals, be sure to apply sunscreen to all exposed skin.

Remember that it does not matter if it’s a cloudy day on the mountain or at the beach. Ultra-violet A rays can go through clouds and cause skin damage.

Good skin care should happen all year round, but spring break is a great time to remind us of that, as we prepare to step out of the house and enjoy the beautiful outdoors.

Sen. Michael Bennet says the interaction of chatbots with children deserves examinaU.S. GOVERNMENT PHOTO tion.

Bennet raises concerns about what chatbots say to kids Senator from Colorado points to examples

BY KAITLIN KIM COLORADO PUBLIC RADIO

Generative Artificial Intelligence, like Chat GPT, may be able to write an episode of South Park or ace the LSAT, but Colorado U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet is concerned about what these chatbots might be saying to kids.

This comes after journalists and others, posing as kids and young teens, reported that generative AI programs helped provide information to questions that should have raised red flags.

The examples listed in Bennet’s letter include AI giving tips on how to protect access to social media apps parents wanted kids to delete, how to cover up bruises before a visit from Child Protective Services and advice on setting the mood with “candles or music” for someone who posed as a 13-year-old girl preparing to meet a 31-year-old man.

“Although generative AI has enormous potential, the race to integrate it into everyday applications cannot come at the expense of younger users’ safety and well being,” Bennet writes to the heads of Open AI, Snap, Alphabet, Microsoft and Meta. “Although AI-powered chatbots come with risks for anyone – for example, by providing false information, perpetuating bias, or manipulating users – children and adolescents are especially vulnerable. Younger users are at an earlier stage of cogni-

tive, emotional, and intellectual development, making them more impressionable, impulsive, and less equipped to distinguish fact from fiction.”

Bennet had several questions for the tech leaders as they move to integrate generative AI into their apps, including what existing or planned safety features they will implement for younger users, whether they have assessed or planned to assess potential harms to younger audiences, and what kind of auditing processes they have for the AI models behind chatbots that talk to the public.

This push comes as more lawmakers have expressed concerns about how social media is affecting teens’ mental health and how social media companies use the data they are collecting. Answers to Bennet’s questions could help shape any congressional response, either legislation or future hearings, to these concerns.

Bennet is one of several lawmakers from both sides of the aisle who have expressed concerns about the popular social media app TikTok, in particular. The CEO of TikTok will testify in front of the house Energy and Commerce committee later this week.

In the last Congress, Bennet also introduced a bill to set up a federal commission to provide oversight of digital platforms “to protect consumers, promote competition, and defend the public interest.”

LIFE

Antique shopkeepers attribute childhood memories, old-fashioned construction to renewed interest

BY RYLEE DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A

ntiques might seem like a field that’s

struggling to rebound from the COVID-19 pandemic, but the local scene in Elizabeth — and elsewhere in Colorado — suggests a renaissance of sorts might be occurring in the industry.

Randy Wallace owns Randy’s Antiques and Art on Main Street in Elizabeth. The bustling scene in town — featuring The Prickly Pear Antiques, The Carriage Shoppes and 1897 House of Antiques, among others — breeds community, not competition, he said.

“The more stores in town, the better,” Wallace said. “People love to come antique shopping when there are multiple stores. Each one of our shops has a different niche, each one has just a little bit different style; I think customers enjoy having a different variety when they come to Elizabeth.”

Wallace said that while his shop specializes in antique art and furniture, others cater to different interests, like the Prickly Pear’s tearoom.

Over in Littleton, Owner Joe Crawford of Old Crow Antiques had the novel idea to add a root beer bar to his shop, with the eventual goal of making the soda section — which currently carries between 60-90 varieties of vintage soda pop at any given time — the largest root beer bar in the world.

Crawford said Old Crow — which he opened three years ago with his brother — is one of the “new kids on the block” in the local

antiquing scene, but said they’ve been welcomed into the scene with open arms.

“I feel like we’re part of a larger community in the metro area,” Wallace said. “There are stores throughout the area, and we’ve gotten to know the people who own and work there — some have been here a long time.”

Nostalgia and good, old-fashioned, quality craftsmanship

Antique shops can often sprawl thousands of square feet — Old Crow’s showroom is over 45,000 square feet — packed with items from all eras and purposes. Shopkeepers say that a sense of longing for a different time helps people find what they’re looking for out of the scores of inventories, in addition to the fact that many antiques have stood the test of time for a reason.

“In antique furniture, it’s already lasted 100 years, and — if you take care of it — it’ll last another 100 years,” Wallace said. “A lot of today’s stuff is kind of throwaway.”

Julie McCoy, who runs own Unique Treasures Antiques and Collectibles in Wheat Ridge with her parents, echoed Wallace’s sentiment. “(Antiques are) made so much better,” McCoy said. “They’re around 100 years later for a reason. It’s not like Ikea stuff that you put together and throw away. It’s good quality SEE NOSTALGIA, P13

stuff that’s built to last. It builds a lot of memories with people.”

People also point to childhood nostalgia or family memories as reasons for antique shops’ sustained popularity. “(People seek out) childhood memories,” McCoy said. “Stuff that’ll last, people come in and say, ‘My mom had this,’ they need to have that again to relive their childhood.”

Crawford said his family got into the antiques business because of a love for history and historic items cultivated from time spent with grandparents as kids.

“We tell people it’s a walk down memory lane,” Crawford said. “You’ll see something that reminds you of another time, maybe a simpler time, or childhood.

Something you haven’t thought of in maybe 50, 60 years.

“I’ll be reminded of my grandma, my family and that’s what it is for me, the stories and experiences of everything that’s here,” Crawford continued. “We say, ‘There are a lot of ghosts under this roof.’”

The Arvada Center invites audiences to join its book club

A

nyone who has been in a book club before knows they can be a brilliant opportunity to bond with friends, both old and new, over a shared love of the written word.

And they can also be ground zero for all kinds of interpersonal messiness.

In the Arvada Center’s production of Karen Zacarías’ laugh-out-loud “The Book Club Play,” one group becomes the subject of a documentary film maker, resulting in all kinds of hilarity as the members let the camera into their lives.

“I love books. And I find book clubs fascinating,” wrote Kate Gleason, who plays several pundits in the show, in an email interview. “I like how book clubs are a chance for very different characters to come together in a shared experience. I was challenged and excited to play several wildly different characters with one common thread — books.”

“The Book Club Play” runs at the Center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., through May 18. Directed by Lynne Collins as part of the Black Box Theatre repertory season, performances are at 7:30 p.m. on Thursdays through Saturdays, 1 p.m. on Wednesdays and 2 p.m. on Sundays.

Gathering with others who share a love of books is a tried-and-true setting for all kinds of stories, and Listen Live:

there’s a good COMING for this — in ATTRACTIONS reason book clubs, mem-

bers have a tendency to really let their hair down and cut loose. Not only does this make for a very dynamic energy between characters, but it can be a vehicle to explore how Clarke Reader we connect with each other.

“It’s about the relationships we have with our friends, family, and ourselves, all centered around great, or not so great, books,” Gleason wrote. “The ability to agree or disagree is all part of the fun.”

Stories involving book clubs provide opportunities to explore all kinds of culture: classic highbrow novels and the authors who write them, as well as trashy books that provide an opportunity to get together and complain with friends.

With that kind of range, audiences who see “The Book Club Play” can expect laughs and literary references galore.

“Creating family and community are all part of our shared human experience. In all its glory and messiness,” Gleason wrote. “And books can connect or disconnect us from each other. Let the hilarity ensue.”

Broomfield Symphony celebrates Buster Keaton

You’d be forgiven for believing that the work of silent film star Buster Keaton has very little to recommend it in the modern cinematic landscape.

But upon closer inspection, his fingerprints are everywhere — a recent example is the ballet of violence that is “John Wick 4.”

To learn a little more about Keaton

and what makes him such a special performer, check out the Broomfield Symphony’s presentation of two films, “One Week” and “Sherlock Jr.” The screening will be held at the Broomfield Auditorium, 3 Community Park Road, at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 8.

Lindsey Jordan, who records under the name Snail Mail, makes the kind of indie rock that fans of the genre’s early days in the 1990s will immediately recognize. While there are certainly familiar elements to Snail Mail’s music, she’s uses a razor-sharp pen to artfully delve into themes of loneliness, identity and human connection.

Snail Mail will be stopping by Boulder’s Fox Theatre, 1135 13th St., at 8:30 p.m. on April 11. She’ll be joined by Water From Your Eyes and Dazy, both bands that represent exciting new talents that add a lot to indie rock. Get tickets at www.axs. com.

Big birthday for Indian Hills woman

Friends gather to celebrate Joyce Olinger’s 99th birthday

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Longtime Indian Hills resident Joyce Olinger celebrated a momentous achievement recently: her 99th birthday.

Friends gathered at the Indian Hills Community Center on March 30 to celebrate the notable occasion, enjoying chocolate cake and ice cream as part of the Indian Hills Improvement Association’s weekly community pancake breakfast.

Originally from Thief River Falls, Minnesota, Olinger and her husband, Gordon, moved to Indian Hills in 1992. She had been a transcriptionist for court reporters, and the couple had two children, Lee and Tawni. Gordon died in 2008.

Never someone to sit still, she

joined the Indian Hills Improvement Association in March 1995 and served on the board of directors for 26 years. The organization made her an honorary member in 2021.

She organized the improvement association’s Community Cleanup for many years, lining up the trash bins and metal recycling, and helping out at the event. She only missed one year due to the pandemic. Joyce finally turned that work over to others when she was 97.

Joyce loved to water and snow ski, ride motorcycles, go hunting and more, always on outdoor adventures with the family, son Lee said. She trained Labrador retrievers and still has a yellow Lab named Charlie.

Joyce called Indian Hills a fun place to live because of the friendly people, and everyone knows each other.

When asked about her secret to longevity, Joyce quipped: “I’m too ornery to die!”

Son Lee added: “She will outlive us all.”

PARKER’S TIPS FOR TAKING YOUR DOG ICE FISHING

Parker enjoys his cozy tent fishing.

The furry ice fisher: Mayor Parker the Snow Dog Mayor Parker loves to ice fish, even though he doesn’t have thumbs

BY OLIVIA JEWELL LOVE OLOVE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

What can a dog teach you about ice fishing? Actually, a lot, if that dog is Mayor Parker the Snow Dog, Mayor of Georgetown and member of the Scheels Pro Staff Ice Fishing

Team.

Parker the Snow Dog, beloved internet sensation and four-legged philanthropist also happens to be an ice fishing ambassador. Not only is he a member of the Scheels Pro Staff, but he’s an ambassador for Eskimo Ice Fishing, Stormy Kromer and WSI Sports. How does he do it with no thumbs? With a little help from his dad, Dustin Schaefer.

The two got into the sport three years ago.

“We really didn’t know what we were doing or getting ourselves into,”

Schaefer said.

Now, Parker is a brand ambassador for multiple outdoors outfitters.

“His main purpose is to be an ambassador to the sport of ice fishing,” Schaefer said.

If you check out any of his social channels, you’ll see Parker posed in front of ice fishing tents, watching augers drill into the ice and helping his dad reel in the day’s big catch.

He likes to get cozy on his bed in the tent and watch the action from there, too.

“He loves laying on his cot while

1. Keep your dog on a leash if other people are fishing nearby. Dogs will love to run to other fishing camps and eat whatever they find. This can be dangerous if there are hooks and lures. Also, it’s just courteous not to have your dog running around their camp peeing on tents and fishing gear. Bring an extra ice fishing anchor so you can tether them outside on nice days.

2. Like I mentioned above: Fishing hooks and lures are very dangerous. Keep these and your bait in a secure spot that your pup won’t get into.

3. Keep your dog occupied. Pack a couple KONGS or some treats and reward them throughout the day.

4. Leave no trace. Bring poop bags and pick up after your pup. If you can take the time to bag the poop, then most likely you can figure a way to pack it out.

5. Be careful where you leave your augers. Augers are sharp and can be very dangerous to doggos. Leave your auger in a safe spot and make sure you have a cover for your blades.

6. Bring food and water. Your dog will get hungry and thirsty on a fishing trip.

Bring a couple collapsible bowls, water and food.

7. Bring a little dog bed or cot for your dog to lay on. The ice can get cold, and your pup will thank you later. Ice fishing sleds with a bed or blanket inside make a great home base for your dog.

8. Make sure your pup has a collar with updated ID tags. If fishing at night, make sure your dog has a light on their collar if going outside the tent.

9. If your dog has issues with their paws getting cold or getting ice balls, check out dog booties or mushers wax. Jackets are always another option on cold days.

10. Most importantly, if your dog doesn’t want to go, don’t make them.

I’m ice fishing, snuggling with his toys,” Schaefer said.

Some popular lakes for ice fishing in Clear Creek are Georgetown Lake, Clear Lake and St. Mary’s. The season in Clear Creek lasts from around January to the end of March, depending on the weather.

“We’ve been lucky this winter with cool temperatures through March; that’s gonna extend the ice fishing season,” Schaefer said.

After that, Parker isn’t very impressed with the smaller catches. He saves his excitement for the big ones.

Parker and Schaefer hit the ice whenever they can, be it after work or a planned longer trip. The dynamic duo enjoyed a full season of

fishing together, and even took some Broncos players on ice-fishing trips to share Parker’s love for fishing.

“This season we’ve gotten close to 30 days of ice fishing on 10 different lakes in Colorado. There’s nothing better than ice fishing with your furry best friend,” Schaefer said.

Colorado GOP starts battle against open primary Letter to federal agency asks for ‘advisory opinion’

BY CAITLIN KIM COLORADO PUBLIC RADIO

The Colorado GOP is taking its first step towards closing the Republican primary.

In a letter sent to the Federal Election Commission last week, the Colorado Republican State Central Committee and its new chairman Dave Williams asked for “an advisory opinion” on whether the party can “establish a legal fund to challenge the constitutionality” of Colorado’s open primary election law.

“The Colorado Republican Committee wishes to explore a lawsuit against the State of Colorado, which would challenge the constitutionality of Proposition 108,” stated the letter, written on behalf of the party by attorneys with Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck. The legal fund would defray the costs of legal action.

In 2016, Colorado voters approved Proposition 108, which allowed unaffiliated voters, now the state’s

largest bloc, to vote in either the Republican or Democratic primary.

The law does have a provision allowing a party to opt out of the open primary system and instead pick its candidates through a caucus process, but 75 percent of the members of the state central committee must support the move.

An effort two years ago to close the party’s 2022 primary failed to win enough support from the central committee.

In 2022, individual Republicans tried to challenge the constitutionality of the law, but the case was dismissed because the court said they did not have standing, only the party would.

According to the letter, the committee chairman, Williams, would establish the fund and appoint a governing board with “final authority” over spending the money. “The Fund plans to accept unlimited amounts from individuals, political committees, corporations, and labor organizations,” the letter states, and would only be used for the lawsuit.

The move is not surprising. Williams talked about closing the GOP primary as he campaigned for the state party chair job.

SHUTTERSTOCK

“We must work to close the primaries so that only Republicans choose our Republican nominees,” he said.

“We cannot afford to let Democrats become unaffiliated so that they then can meddle in our primaries, like they did with (Rep.) Lauren Boebert. We must defend and protect our caucus assembly.”

Williams was referring to a grass-

Passing antsy

CONIFER – Walking home from the store on the afternoon of March 10, the Family Fernortner suddenly felt collectively run-down, or nearly so. According to Mr. Fernortner’s statement to JCSO, a woman in a “black Chevrolet” careened around them on the narrow lane, “skirting its tires” and missing them by “about one foot.” The Chevy immediately pulled into a handy driveway, where a woman got out and started yelling at the Fernortners, calling Mr. Fernortner a crude, offensive and not particularly appropriate name, and then ordering her dog to “attack” the defenseless family. Given time for rebuttal, Ms. Chevy said she’d grown frustrated following the clan up the lane at “one mile an hour” and when she saw a chance to scoot around them, she took it. She also said she’d assumed they were trespassing and told them so, that she’d actually called Mr. Fernortner an entirely different crude, offensive and not particularly appropriate

name, and that her dog ran toward them only because “it’s friendly and wanted to meet new people.” Deputies determined that the Fernortners were not trespassing, that no laws had been broken, and that they might be more usefully employed elsewhere.

Left behind

EVERGREEN – Shopping the cereal aisle on the afternoon of March 5, Siri stooped to grasp a bag of honey-nut granola. Returning to an erect position, she noticed first that her cell phone was not in her shopping cart, and second that a tall, 30-something with a beard and blue jeans was walking briskly away.

Putting two and two together, she reported a bold, daylight theft of JCSO. Responding deputies quickly located the missing phone sitting alone on the Starbucks counter. Doing the math, officers returned Siri’s phone and closed the case.

No quick fix

EVERGREEN – A.J.’s used Honda was a work in progress. According to the sheriff ’s report of March 9, “every part of the vehicle appears to have some part of damage to it, and wires are hanging from the bottom.” A.J. had for some weeks been effecting repairs on the Honda in his father-in-law’s driveway. For some weeks his father-in-law had been demanding that he move it off of the property. Turning words into action, Father-in-law finally towed the heap down the driveway personally and deposited it on the side of the road.

A.J. called JCSO, saying Father-inlaw had no right to relo his wreck.

Father-in-law insisted that he did.

Enter Mother-in-law, who said she’d given A.J. permission to keep the car in their driveway. Officers managed to broker a deal whereby A.J. has two weeks to find a new crib for the crate. Not satisfied, A.J. asked deputies to charge Father-in-law with damaging the hard-used Honda, pointing to “three small dents” he

EVERGREEN – He was surprised, but not distressed, to receive no mail that day. The distress set in when a neighbor called saying she’d received a bank statement, opened, belonging to him in her own mailbox, and deepened when a different neighbor called saying her daily mail contained a bill, opened, addressed to him. He reported the odd state of affairs first to the Evergreen Postmaster, then to the county. The case is safely in JCSO’s inbox, open.

JEFFERSON COUNTY BRIEFS

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Jeffco transfers 20 acres near fairgrounds to Westernaires

For more than 20 years, the Westernaires have been using county land on the southeast side of the Jeffco Fairgrounds to practice riding horses and conducting drills.

Now, the land officially belongs to the Westernaires, thanks to a recent Jeffco land transfer.

The Westernaires, an organization that’s served local youth since 1949, will now have a permanent home on the property, Jeffco confirmed in a recent press release.

The county will still have an interest in the property through deed restrictions, requiring that the Westernaires use the land for its programs or other park purposes. If it’s used in another manner, the county can elect to take the property back, Jeffco officials explained.

The county previously conveyed a 4-acre parcel in 1964, and another 1.4 acres in 2001. The Westernaires have been using the discussed 20 acres since 1998.

“The Westernaires are a staple in our county,” County Commissioner Andy Kerr commented in the press release, “and we would like to see them remain here.”

According to the organization’s website, the Westernaires are based at the fairgrounds in Golden, and have more than 1,000 participants aged 9 to 19. The organization promotes horsemanship, self-respect, responsibility and leadership. Its members perform at parades and

The Westernaires prepare to perform at the 2018 Western Heritage Show at Fort Westernaire, which is adjacent to the Jeffco Fairgrounds. The county recently transferred 20 nearby acres to the Westernaires, which the organization FILE PHOTO has been using since 1998.

Director Bill Schleicher stated: “We are proud to celebrate the western

The Jeffco Coroner’s Office has received an accreditation from the International Association of Coroners and Medical Examiners. The office self-submitted for the process, which takes five years to complete.

The county announced the accreditation on March 28, emphasizing the high level of professionalism and excellence required to receive it.

“IACME accreditation allows our office to ensure to the people of Jefferson County that our business practices and procedures are following established standards,” Coroner Annettee Cannon stated in the

county press release. “The accreditation strengthens the credibility of the Jefferson County Coroner’s Office and allows us to better serve the community.”

The IACME accreditation ensures the office’s operating policies, procedures and practices meet international standards. During the process, IACME reviewed 288 standards across the Coroner’s Office, including administrative, forensic, investigative and facility review.

To receive IACME accreditation, 100% compliance with mandatory standards and 90% of all applicable standards must be met, the county stated.

The Coroner’s Office establishes cause of death for those who die in accidents, acts of violence, and other special circumstances, such as unexpected or unattended deaths.

NOW HERE’S A TIP * I purchase rotisserie chickens and use the meat for different things -- soup, casseroles, etc. I have a trick to getting the skin off. My hand strength isn’t what it used to be, and those birds are slippery. I use a paper towel to grip the skin, and pull the meat and bone right out.

It works well on a raw bird too. -- L.A. in Florida * To re-whiten socks or washcloths, try boiling a pot of water and adding a sliced, juiced lemon. Soak the items for at least an hour, and then pick out the lemon and add the pot -- water and all -- to a load of wash. * If there are crushed cookies in a pack I purchase, I set them aside in a plastic baggie in the freezer to use on ice cream. Yummy! -- R.L. in Alberta, Canada * If you have been cooking in the oven and have a pan that’s got cooked-on food, you can get it clean without all the scrubbing. Immediately after cooking, while the

oven is still hot, add enough water to cover the bottom of the pan and a little dishsoap. Put it in the oven until the oven is cool. The residual heat will work on the stuck-on food while you are dining, and it’ll wipe right out. -- W.O. in Minnesota * When washing out stockings, add a tablespoon of vinegar to the rinse water, and they will retain their elasticity better. * Wintergreen oil makes a lovely room freshener. Put two drops on a cotton ball and tuck it into the cushions of your couch, or hide it under a lamp pedestal ... anywhere out of the way. The scent drifts over a week or so. -- G.T. in Delaware Send your tips to Now Here’s a Tip, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803. (c) 2023 King Features Synd., Inc.
