Fourth graders at Rocky Mountain Academy of Evergreen served co ee and doughnuts to sta from Evergreen Fire/Rescue, the Je co Sheri ’s O ce, Alpine Rescue Team and more to thank the rst responders for their service.

e rst responders were happy to chat with students and display their equipment during the event April 11.

Fourth grade teachers Kasey Blair and Ally Tapp were looking for a way for students to show their appreciation for the community, and they came up with the co eeand-doughnuts idea. Students and rst responders stood outside in the parking lot with students taking turns sitting in a re engine and ambulance, checking out a sheri ’s

SHERIFF’S CALLS

FROM PAGE 21 behavior toward Son was such that Son quit and took a job elsewhere. Sure enough, before too long Lyle was again Son’s co-worker, and again behaving suspiciously. Mom was concerned for Son’s safety, particularly in light of her certain knowledge that Lyle was an “inmate.” Mom knew that Lyle was an “inmate” because of “the way he dresses” and “moves his head.”

Although Mom had neither seen

ATV and more.

Other classes walked by, taking a moment to grab pictures with the rst responders.

Students said it was fun to get to see the equipment up close and to talk with rst responders. Fourth grader Neja Voisin enjoyed sitting in the driver’s seat of the re engine, amazed at the number of buttons inside the truck.

Fourth grader Rollin Kleifgen explained that the event was to let rst responders know how much they are appreciated because they help people in need. He said his favorite activity that morning was climbing around the re engine.

Fourth grader Camilla Park explained that it was important to give the rst responders co ee and doughnuts because they knew how nor heard of either Lola or Lyle in more than two years, when she saw someone who looked entirely too much like Lyle drive past her house on March 23, she suspected the worst and resolved to detail her suspicions in an o cial complaint. While o cers could certainly understand the reasons for Mom’s apprehension, they had no reasonable grounds for Lyle’s apprehension.

Pay to play

SEDALIA – Huey, Dewey and Louie drove into Wellington Lake on the morning of March 24 with- out stopping to pay the entrance fee. Initially assuming they were contractors working on campground facilities, the site manager assumed di erently when she started hearing what she took for gunshots echoing across the placid blue water and summoned a JCSO deputy. Finding the threesome’s Jeep sitting empty on the western shore, the o cer aimed his PA system at the forest primeval and bade the gate-crashers come thither. When they didn’t, he threatened to have the Jeep towed, and a few moments later Huey, Dewey and Louie slunk out the trees swearing to the clear azure skies that they had no idea the many fee-speci c signs they drove past at the gate applied to them. With no guns in evidence, the manager said the trespassing trio were welcome to stay so long as they paid their dues. e boys ponied up and the deputy stood down.
