e iconic Ozzi’s Ice Cream Shop building on the east end of downtown Morrison may get a facelift, plus a new building may be constructed on the property.
Nature de nitely is taking its course at the new Evergreen Nature Center.
e center, operated by Evergreen Audubon, opened its new location
on the Church of the Trans guration grounds on Sept. 9 with an all-day open house. A steady stream of visitors checked out the center in the Bancroft House, which is the building that formerly housed the Evergreen Christian Outreach food bank.
e Evergreen Nature Center had been located in the warming hut at Evergreen Lake since 2008.
e new center is spacious with
rooms for animal ambassadors, investigations, exploration and children’s play. Another room has windows to the back of the building where six bird feeders attract birds, so attendees can do some birdwatching.

It was a poignant, somber time for rst responders and residents as they paid their respects to Major Toby Lewis when his funeral procession made its way through Conifer to Evergreen Memorial Park. e procession on Sept. 14 was the rst of three days of events to honor and bury Lewis, who was born and raised in Conifer. He was one of three Marines killed on Aug. 27 when their aircraft crashed during a training mission on Melville
Island north of Darwin, Australia.
Fire ghters, rst responders, military veterans, friends and strangers lined U.S. 285, Barkley Road, Highway 73 and North Turkey Creek Road, many holding ags, to honor Lewis. Area re-department and law-enforcement vehicles lined the route with their lights ashing.
Many people said they were honoring someone who sacri ced his life to keep our country safe.
“Toby died protecting his country, family and fellow Marines,” said Mike Harvey of Evergreen. “We can take a couple hours to show respect for him and his family.”
ose who knew him said he was dedicated to his family, God and his country, and he was a proud Marine.
“We want to show his family that his sacri ce mattered, and the community cares,” said Brett Vamashita of Conifer.
Marcia Loomis held an American ag as she stood at Highway 73 and Gray Fox Drive with several others, saying it was important to support the country’s servicemen and ser-
vicewomen. She didn’t know Lewis, “but I’m here to support him any way I can.”

hold a public hearing on the proposal at its meeting at 6 p.m. Oct. 3 in the Town Hall.
Ozzi’s is a 2,191-square-foot building built in 1926 that is on the National Register of Historic Places. It is known as the Old Standard Service Station and Morrison’s rst “fancy service station.”
Planning commissioners were pleased with the proposal, which has been two years in the making.
e proposal was recommended for approval with stipulations on the lighting plan for the property and other administrative issues.
David Killingsworth, owner of e Holiday Bar, spoke at the meeting, voicing his support for the proposal.
“I applaud these folks for persevering through the process and getting to this point,” Killingsworth told the commissioners. “I hope they continue, and I hope you and the board support projects like this in the town.”
Jennifer Gray with Acme Workshop, the rm designing the project for the property owners, said: “I think we have worked really hard together
to get where we are today. I think what we have come up with nally is some great synergy with proposed tenants and (those) in town now. What is really important to me is the rehabilitation of Ozzi’s, which is an icon at the gateway to town.”
e proposal includes an eightvehicle parking lot on the site, curb and gutter along Bear Creek Avenue so there is speci c egress onto the site, landscaping, sidewalks, and improvements to parking on Bear Creek Avenue and Mount Vernon Street.
Gray said the new building would be compatible with the Ozzi’s building but with a more modern perspective, and it would have oodproo ng aspects since the property
is in the oodplain.
e proposal also includes demolishing part of the Ozzi’s building, which is a concrete room added after the building was constructed in 1926, plus a laundry list of improvements including painting, new windows and a patio under the original gas canopy.
Commissioners were concerned about lighting, wanting to ensure that it was not too bright or intrusive
to neighbors. Town Planner Carrie McCool said she would continue to work with the property owners to get that issue settled.
McCool said the proposal would result in substantial improvements that are compatible and harmonious with the town.
“ is proposal will really improve our aesthetic image of Morrison,” she told the commissioners. “ is is a signi cant private investment.”

A great way to learn about the area’s history is to taste, touch and see it.
at’s what Living History Days at Staunton State Park does for young and old alike. e two-day event Sept. 9-10 provided johnnycakes cooked over an open ame, a table to make Native American talking sticks and a tour of the historic Staunton cabin, which was built in 1918 and has been restored thanks in part to a Historicorps grant.
e event in its 10th year is all about teaching young people about what life was like in the foothills between the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Living History Days coincides with Girl Scouts Love State Parks weekend, so Scouts took part in the activities.
e event o ers a wealth of history on the 1,720-acre ranch onced owned by Archibald and Rachael Staunton that became the park in 2013.
Fur pelts, herbal medicines and music from Rex Rideout were all part of the event. Volunteers from the park and Colorado Parks & Wildlife, some dressed in late 1800s clothing, explained to visitors what
it was like to live in that time period. A treasure hunt and a hayride helped lead participants through the park and the exhibits.
Volunteer Lindy Grote taught visitors about feathers and fashion. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it was popular for women to wear feathers or entire birds on their hats, and more than 5 million birds died yearly to adorn women’s clothing. However, women stepped in to protect birds, leading to the creation of the National Audubon Society in 1905 and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918.
She chatted with Herb and Debbie arp of Florissant, which stayed in Bailey to celebrate their 41st wedding anniversary.
“I love this kind of history,” Debbie arp said.
“You can learn so much here,” Herb arp said. “All of the stations are so informative.”
“Sheri ” John Lewis provided certi cates to children to become honorary Pinkerton detectives after the children found treasure along the one-mile trail leading to Living History Days. Legend has it that the Reynolds Gang buried loot from their robberies in the area after the Civil War.
Arwen Pont and her daughter Megan, 13, of Golden came to Staunton State Park as part of Girl Scouts Love State Parks Days. Megan enjoyed the hayride to get to the Living History Days location, while Arwen
enjoyed the cabin tour, saying she learned a lot about herbal medicine.
Jen Borstad, a leader of Girl Scout Troop 67319 in Highlands Ranch, made a Native American talking stick with some members of her troop. She said the talking stick, which gives the person holding it the turn to speak, would come in handy at troop meetings.
Borstad, who graduated from Conifer High School, said her troop can easily go to Chat eld State Park or Cherry Creek Reservoir. Girl Scouts Love State Parks Day gives her a reason to bring her Scouts to Staunton.
Volunteers Joan Wealing, Michelle Houghton and Randi Boldra took a few minutes to sit by the camp re. All three have been volunteering at
Living History Days for several years with Houghton said she loved talking to the kids, adding that the Girl Scouts know a lot about nature and history.
Boldra has participated all 10 years and enjoys teaching others about nature and history.
“ is is for the kids,” Boldra said. “I hope to instill the love of nature.”

Sasha Kirjak, 8, of Lakewood, was interested in looking at a wasp nest through a microscope projected onto a screen in the exploration room. She attended summer camp sponsored by the Nature Center last summer, so the family wanted to check out the new location, according to mom Katie Kirjak.
Evergreen Audubon President Kathy Madison said the organization is thrilled with its new home.
“We can be open year-round and o er more programs,” Madison said as she cut a cake to celebrate the grand opening. “We’re next to Bear Creek and a meadow. We have extra space to continue to o er our exhibits and programs.”

Admission will remain free. e goal of the center continues to be to foster enthusiasm and respect for the natural world among residents and visitors to the foothills, she has said. e center has exhibits highlighting the natural history of the Bear Creek Watershed, plus it o ers after-school programs and day camps for schoolaged children, and story hours for preschoolers in partnership with Evergreen Library.
The community is invited to attend a live candidate forum for the Je erson County School Board from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Sept. 26 at the Je erson Unitarian Church in Golden. The forum, which is co-sponsored by the League of Women Voters, Je co PTA and the Je erson Unitarian Church Community Action Network, will be recorded, and the video will be made available to all Je erson County voters via various sponsor channels after the event.

ose words describe the re ghters who worked to save Americans after the terrorist attacks on New York City, at the Pentagon and in Pennsylvania on Sept. 11, 2001.
Remembrance. Honor. Re ection.
ose words describe the more than 2,000 rst responders and others who participated in the 15th annual Colorado 9/11 Memorial Climb at Red Rocks Amphitheatre on Sept. 11.
Stair climb organizer Shawn Duncan of West Metro Fire Rescue told the participants they didn’t have to complete all nine laps around the amphitheater that represent the 101 ights of stairs re ghters climbed on 9/11 in the Twin Towers in New York City to rescue people trapped in the buildings before they collapsed.
“ is is not a race,” Duncan told them. “It’s OK to pause, to sit and re ect. is event is more about getting together and remembering.”
West Metro Fire Chief Don Lombardi told rst responders in attendance to be diligent and take pride in the work they do.
“It is imperative that you are ready like the 343 re ghters (of FDNY, the New York City Fire Department) who lost their lives,” Lombardi said. He asked everyone to remember what the country was like after 9/11 when everyone banded together and became one.
“We can honor (those who lost their lives) by having more grace with each other and coming together as a nation,” Lombardi said. “We are strong when we are one.”
Members of the Warren Tech Fire Academy class, who weren’t alive on Sept. 11, 2001, decided to participate. Warren Tech students come from high
Sapia was a Long Island firefighter on Sept. 11, 2001, and he arrived at the scene of the Twin Towers just before the North Tower collapsed. He teaches in the fire academy program at Rock Canyon High School in Highlands Ranch.
schools across Je co, and these high school juniors and seniors said they were compelled to participate to honor the re ghters who lost their lives on 9/11.
“I feel we have to be here,” Landon Hines, a Green Mountain High School student, said. “For us to walk (in the stair climb) doesn’t begin to honor their sacri ce.”
Brendan Brownlee, a student at Ralston Valley High School, added:
“We are honoring heroes.”
Kara Cooper, a retired member of Genesee Fire, was a pilot on 9/11 and served on the re department for 15 years, retiring in 2018. She participates in the stair climb to honor people who try to save others, not just on 9/11. She hoped to make all nine laps around the amphitheater, adding, laughing, that she’s never tried it in bunker gear.
Mike Amdur with Foothills Fire was too young to remember the terrorist attacks.
However, he added, “9/11 is a large part of the culture of the re service.
Rock Canyon High School Fire Academy students in Highlands Ranch were excited to get started, and they pointed to one of their instructors, Joe Sapia, who they recently learned was a Long Island, New York, re ghter on 9/11, and he arrived at the scene just before the North Tower collapsed.
Sapia explained that his duties at Ground Zero were rescue and recovery.
“I always tell everybody that I’m not a hero,” he said.
Now, he said, his duty is to spread awareness about the responders who have fallen ill as a result of their work on 9/11, the subsequent rescue operations and cleanup.
“9/11 never goes away,” he said.
Also, as a re instructor for the high school program, he says his job is to have students experience what it’s really like to be a re ghter.
He doesn’t tell his students about his experiences on 9/11.
“I don’t want them to treat me di erently,” Sapia said.
Battalion Chief Matt Gold with Fairmount Fire said he tries to do something each year to commemorate 9/11, and this was his rst time at the Red Rocks stair climb.
“It’s important,” he said. “It’s a way for us to remember all the lives that were lost, and it’s special for us as reghting brothers and sisters to come together.”
Duncan reminded participants that the FDNY showed up on 9/11, knowing that day would be horri c and that some of them would not return home.
“ ere were 29 minutes between when the rst tower and the second tower fell,” Duncan said. “ ey saved 20,000 lives, a lot of them knowing they would not make it out of the Twin Towers. ey knew their re ghter brothers were lost, and they still continued to climb those stairs.”
For Evergreen Fire/Rescue Assistant Chief Stacee Martin, participating in a remembrance every year is important. She said of the 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb: “It never gets easier or old.”

e city of Idaho Springs has demanded that the Clear Creek School District immediately stop installing a main water pipe at the site of the school district’s planned Transportation and Maintenance Facility.
However, the school district says this is all a misunderstanding, and its crews have not been working on a water line and are waiting for city approval to install the pipe. School o cials have contacted Idaho Springs o cials to sort it out.
is is the latest in a series of issues between the city and the school district over the Transportation and Maintenance Facility or TMF that the school district plans to build on the track just south of the former middle
school on Highway 103.
In a letter dated Sept. 13 to the school district, Idaho Springs o cials said city sta observed contractors working to install a main waterline extension on Sept. 8 without the required city approvals. Idaho Springs is demanding a preconstruction meeting between the city and the school to “ensure that all proper permissions and easement have been obtained,” according to Jonathan Cain, Idaho Springs’ assistant city manager.
e school district says its crew found that a culvert was clogged, and
a Colorado Department of Transportation crew was unclogging the culvert on Sept. 8, according to Superintendent Karen Quanbeck.
e school district subsequently sent a letter to Idaho Springs ofcials, saying: “We are reiterating the district’s commitment to the city that the project’s tasks related to the water tap/extension will follow the city’s process. ... e district and its project team have held fast that no work regarding the water main or tap/ extension will begin until a permit is received.”
In the letter, the school district told the city that the stop-work order was issued to the wrong party and asked that the city continue to process its contractor’s application for the water main extension.
According to the cease-and-desist letter from Idaho Springs, any main extension that connects to the city water system must be designed and constructed in conformity with the city’s Master Plan.
“ e city has neither received nor approved a proposed easement for the location of the main waterline
being apparently installed,” the demand letter reads. “If work occurs in violation of this stop-work order, daily nes will be imposed.”
e cease-and-desist letter comes after Idaho Springs took the school district to court in early August because the city contends the school district hasn’t gotten the proper zoning approvals before site work began at the track for the TMF. e city says its regulations concerning tra c control, lighting, landscaping, parking, noise, drainage, stormwater and erosion control apply to the project because they impact surrounding neighborhoods.
e school district believes that because it’s a public entity, it falls under the jurisdiction of the state rather than the City of Idaho Springs.
e Colorado Department of Public Safety’s Division of Fire Prevention and Control issues building permits for school districts, it says.
A court hearing before Idaho Springs Municipal Court Judge Michael Goodbee on the August court case is set for 9 a.m. Sept. 22 in Idaho Springs City Hall.
Exactly who decided that a group of ferrets is a business? Indeed, how did the weasel become a verb? Can a ferret business also ferret prairie dogs from burrows?
at self-important group of Europeans and Englishmen who began coining terms to identify groupings of individuals from a particular animal species might have been pleased that the “terms of venary” chosen by them centuries ago are still in use today.
Did their personal biases a ect the manner by which some species are judged? Certainly, these long-ago “namers” were unaware of the attributes of the species which interested them. In fact, what if the terms of venary were reversed?
Witnessing an exaltation of crows might be a more relevant descriptor for a species with supe-
rior intellect, perhaps even exalted intelligence? Sadly, a murder of larks could tarnish the image of the little bird forever. How about a utter of bats and a cauldron of hummingbirds? Would folks build fancy bat houses while simultaneously maligning the diminutive hummingbird, writing mean poems about them?
Of course, some terms of venary simply cannot be reassigned. Could there be another candidate for a prickle of porcupines, a bloat of hippos or a tower of gira es?
Some species have endured disrespect for decades despite occupying a noble and indispens-
able role in the Animal Kingdom. Groups of sharks, those spectacular apex predators, are reduced to a mere shiver. And while more appropriately named, an ambush of tigers fails to capture the grandeur of such a majestic feline species.
In the 14th and 15th centuries, English gentlemen were judged by the extent of terms of venary they were able to present. ese colorful descriptions of selective traits give clues about which species were admired and which were unappreciated at that time in history. Descriptors like conspiracy (lemurs), ostentation (peacocks), unkind (ravens), or a maelstrom (salamanders) could not have been helpful in fostering a ection and esteem for those species.
Some terms of venary are simply a re ection of a species’ behavior like a gulp of cormorants, a scold of jays and a romp of otters.
Perhaps upon your next visit to Evergreen Lake, keep an eye out for gulps, utters, charms, parliaments, knots and convocations (cormorants, butter ies, hummingbirds, owls, toads and eagles). Of course, it is hard to escape the ubiquitous migraine (children).
In his 1965 book, “Lexicon of the Mediaeval German Hunt: A Lexicon of Middle High German,” author David Darby stated that this language is “arti cial, cultivated and self-conscious.”
If terms of venary are arti cial, we are within our rights to create our own terms. Perhaps a smudge of toddlers, drool of ice cream cones, zoom of computer screens, or a scorn of politicians could be added to the list.
Name your own terms of venary. e cleek of opportunities is endless.
The premier ballot initiative on this fall’s ballot is Proposition HH, which deals with residential property taxes. e proposition begins with the phrase, “Shall property taxes be decreased…” is is misleading. While property taxes will be decreased in the short term from a projected 20 to 30% hike because of the state’s hot real estate market, they are still projected to rise over the long term, according to Colorado Public Radio.
What HH will also accomplish is to allow the state to set aside up to $2 billion per year instead of refunding it to taxpayers. is provision is why advocates for the Taxpayers Bill of Rights say that Proposition HH will end taxpayer
JOE WEBBpeople deserve the right to vote up or down on any tax increase.

refunds from government overspending. It sets such a high bar for TABOR refunds to be permitted that it will render the possibility of such refunds almost impossible. Additionally, I have read that local governments will be barred from issuing TABOR refunds due to Proposition HH.
e usual argument from the advocates of TABOR is that the people deserve the right to keep any excess money that the government does not spend and that the
If the state needs $500 million for teacher salaries, $700 million for road improvement, $100 million for pre-kindergarten schools and $200 million for prisons then the arguments could be made for more money which reasonable people may understand.
But that is not happening. What is happening is that voters are being asked to vote yes on Proposition HH and give the government
$2 billion per year for a 10-year period. at is $20 billion of taxpayer money and demands like those being made in Proposition HH is why TABOR was passed by the voters back in 1992. e people deserve an explanation as to how their tax dollars are being spent. I am voting against Proposition HH for this and many other reasons. I urge you to join me because Proposition HH was originally touted as a solution for high property taxes but it does not accomplish that goal. Voting no on HH forces legislators and the governor back to the table to craft a better solution. Let’s make that happen.
Riding shotgun
CONIFER – e deputy could hardly fail to notice the car parked in the middle of the intersection at 4 a.m. with its headlights ablaze. Feeling there might be a story behind that unusual circumstance, the o cer waited until the vehicle nally got back underway and then pulled it to the curb. Approaching on foot, the deputy noticed a shotgun sitting behind the driver’s seat and swiftly placed the driver in custody. e shotgun turned out to be unloaded, which was just as well because the driver wasn’t. Asked how much liquid ammunition he was packing, the well-lit fellow seemed to be at a loss. “One 25-ounce beer?” he slurred. “Maybe three beers? (Heck) if I know!” Not only was he well over the legal libation limit, neither he nor his shotgun were licensed or registered. In his own defense, the man told deputies he’d been on the way to meet a certain unsavory character named “Marina” whom he believed to possess critical information regarding a recent convenience store robbery. He said he’d purchased the rearm the night before to take along as “protection.” O cers transported the man to detox and the shotgun to the JCSO evidence vault.
SOUTH JEFFCO – Although she knew perfectly well that her neighbors were sunning on a Caribbean beach, she could plainly see from her front window about 10 kajillion teenagers milling around on their front lawn in the wee hours of the morning, and she suspected unsanctioned partying. She tipped o JCSO and, apparently tipped to the tip, the teens all scattered before deputies arrived. But the ofcers caught a break when a latecomer in a silver SUV drove slowly by before driving up onto a nearby lawn to scope the scene and try to gure out where the party went. e SUV’s youthful driver admitted hearing about a major bash scheduled for that night at the vacant address, prompting deputies to enter the home through an unlocked door and investigate.
Inside, the presence of tools and the fact that the carpets had all been torn up suggested that the owners had commissioned remodeling work to be done in their absence. Likewise, the presence of thick drifts of empty beer cans and the fact that the place smelled like the frat-house oor suggested less prosaic interior designs. e reporting party said she’d try to get a message detailing the night’s events to the homeowners in their surf-side palapa. With nobody left to arrest, and pending the owners’ con rmation that an actual crime had been committed, deputies secured the house and skedaddled.

MORRISON – e morti ed hotel guest called 911 at 2:11 to report a serious breach of the social contract. A strange young fellow was standing outside her room with his breeches around his ankles, she complained, and she believed he might be urinating on her door. Deputies didn’t have to look far for the cheeky rascal, who was passed out in the corridor next to his irregular latrine. Rousing the souse to semiconsciousness, o cers were able through dogged perseverance to determine that he’d spent the balance of the evening at a Red Rocks concert, during which interval he’d consumed an unspeci ed – but presumably considerable –quantity of “Fireball and Coors.” Of precisely what he’d been up to in the hallway the pants-less perp had no memory, but he assured the o cers it would be most unlike him to relieve himself on anything but a JCPH-approved sanitary receptacle. e complainant reassured deputies that he very de nitely had, and that she was very interested in pressing charges. O cers cited Wee Willie Winkie for indecent exposure and let him sleep it o on the oor of a hallway in detox.

Skipping national-chain and dollar-a-scoop joints, he ate food from one restaurant each week.
He did that for about 75 weeks.
So Antonation, the former food editor at Westword, knows a thing or two about the Denver metro area’s restaurant scene.
He had set out to capture the
spirit of the storied Federal Boulevard — with its authentic Asian and Mexican eateries — about a decade ago, but his food writing travels also took him through the suburbs outside Denver.
What makes the Denver area’s food scene di erent from other parts of the country is how the di erent cuisines are spread out and, in a way, “integrated,” he said.
“In other cities, say you want to nd a Chinese restaurant. You’re probably (going to) go to a district where there’s a high concentration of that or any other style,” Antonation said.
But in “metro Denver, especially when you hit the outskirts — ornton, Broom eld, those areas — it’s a lot more mixed,” he said.
TOP LEFT: Javier Cruz, owner of Garibaldi Mexican Bistro, sits at the restaurant on Sept. 6 in Englewood. Cruz emphasized what he says is the unique nature of his menu compared to other Mexican restaurants.
And there’s good news for foodies in the suburbs: With real estate becoming so expensive, a lot of new restaurants are opening in the north Douglas County area, Antonation said.
Elsewhere, around “Westminster and ornton and Broom eld, there’s a lot of Asian restaurants opening up there, Chinese and ai speci cally,” Antonation said.
“If you live in the suburbs — if you live outside the suburban area even — it’s probably going to keep getting more interesting for you,” Antonation said.
Colorado Community Media asked Antonation what restaurants outside of Denver stand out to him. Here are some of his favorites — places where you might encounter dishes that you can’t nd anywhere else.
Unless you happen to pull over for

gas right across from the Gothic eatre, you might never notice that there’s a restaurant in the same building as a Conoco convenience store.
Years ago, Javier Cruz stopped to get gas there, and a small food outlet was serving burgers at the time.
“And kids said, ‘Can we get fries?’” Cruz said, recalling how he noticed the restaurant.
Cruz spoke to someone with the business who said of the small space: “You want it? Take it,” Cruz recalled.
Di erent food outlets have come and gone at that spot — Cruz still receives mail for many other businesses, he said.
But eight years in at that location, Cruz and his family are still serving up food that he says sets them apart from other Mexican restaurants in the area. He put up a wall to separate the restaurant from the gas station part of the building, adding new paint and artwork and a new ambiance.
With heritage from Mexico City, his family felt that “we never nd this kind of food here,” Cruz said. “So when we opened this restaurant, we said we’ve got to sell this.”
He recommends the food on the “menu Azteca,” featuring dishes made with cactus that he says make Garibaldi unique.
You can nd Garibaldi Mexican Bistro on Broadway a few blocks north of Hampden Avenue in Englewood.
Chile con Quesadilla in Brighton e Chile con Quesadilla food trucks opened on March 15, 2020, just before the response to the coronavirus pandemic intensi ed and restaurants and bars stopped sit-down service.
“We were never shut down due to being classi ed as ‘take-out’ and gained exposure at a rapid pace when many restaurants were shut down,” said Christina Richardson, co-owner of Chile con Quesadilla. “We frequently went to neighborhoods, apartment complexes, HOAs and served food to people who were staying in their neighborhoods (and) homes while on lockdown.”
Since Chile con Quesadilla started, Richardson and her husband Jason have received several local awards for their food, and they recently opened a brick-and-mortar Chile con Quesadilla restaurant location in Brighton.
“Our liquor license got approved on May 5, 2023, and (we) have been operating since,” Richardson said.
She says that Chile con Quesadilla is “not traditional in any sense.”
“We create many di erent and unique avor combinations, for a Mexican-American
fusion with a multi-award-winning green chile at the heart of a lot of the recipes,” Richardson said.
Her top sellers include birria, or beef, tacos and the BBQ bacon brisket tacos, dubbed “ e Triple B.”
“We are a quesadilla concept, but anything on the menu can be ordered in the form of quesadillas, tacos, nachos, sandwiches or a bowl, essentially turning nine menu options into 45 di erent items,” Richardson said.
You can nd the Chile con Quesadilla restaurant on Main Street in Brighton, a couple blocks north of Bridge Street or state Highway 7.
Hong Kong Station in Centennial
A bustling dinner crowd came on Sept. 6 to Hong Kong Station, a restaurant that stands out among Chinese eateries.
“It’s kind of an unusual Chinese restaurant for Americans because a lot of the food is in uenced by Europeans who settled in Hong Kong, so they have a baked rice dish that has like a pork chop and Italian-style tomato sauce,” said Antonation, the former food writer.
e restaurant also serves traditional Hong Kong-style Chinese food, but it’s well known for its Hong Kong French toast, Antonation said.
He describes that dish as two thick slices of white bread usually with peanut butter and an egg batter, pan-fried and served with a big slab of butter.
“I think it was the rst place I knew of in metro Denver that was serving this, and it’s kind of become a trendy dish lately,” Antonation said.
You can nd the restaurant at 6878 S. Yosemite St., a bit south of Arapahoe Road in Centennial.
One of Antonation’s favorite newer ai places is Farmhouse ai in Lakewood near 1st Avenue and Wadsworth Boulevard.
“ eir dishes tend to, I would say, capture traditional avors, but they do a lot of interesting modern presentations or updates on traditional fare without straying too far from the canon,” Antonation said.
A standout Italian restaurant far north of Denver serves a Detroit-style, thick-crust pizza, Antonation said.
“And the weird thing is that the pan is rectangular and has a rectangular hole in the middle … and so the advantage is that every slice has a crusty edge, unlike a normal Detroit-style pizza where you’ve got some with a soft edge and crusty edge,” Antonation said of Wholly Stromboli.
You can nd that restaurant at 410 Denver Ave. in Fort Lupton.

For any team, it’s important to nd the glue that holds everyone together.

Head coach Brianna Smith called senior outside hitter Sophie Rozman the team’s leader who serves as a catalyst. She is one who will never be outworked on the court.

“We are nding fewer freshmen who have never played before,” Smith said. “In our own organization, of all of the freshmen, probably three haven’t played club. e players also are playing club in addition to being on the high school team to remain competitive with their peers.”
e seniors believe the team will end up on top this year, especially against 4A teams. e team’s schedule started with playing 5A teams to help them test their mettle.
“We have improved a lot and have given the 5A teams we have played a run for their money, and we have beaten some of them,” Naumer said.

Evergreen junior Tyler Long is one Class 4A Je co League boys golf individual medalist title away from the unthinkable. Long captured his third straight conference title on Sept. 12 at West Woods Golf Club shooting a 2-under-par, 70.
“It means something to me,” Long said about having the chance for a four-peat next year. “I really don’t think about it. I just play my game. If it happens, it happens.”
What happened early in his round could have been a major disaster for an average high school golfer. Long started his round 3-over-par through the rst two holes to spot the rest of the eld early on.
“I just hit two balls in the hazard those rst two (holes),” Long said. “It wasn’t great, but I was glad I was able to come back.”
Long went bogey-free in his last 16 holes, pouring in ve birdies to nish with a round of 70.
“I just know there is a lot of golf left,” Long said of dealing with his double-bogey, bogey start. “You have to stay patient. It is better to
do that early in the round than be 3-over-par through 15 holes.”
e junior won four of the six 4A Je co League tournaments and nished with a 68.60 scoring average in the ve league tournaments he played. Long shot an incredible round of 61 at Lake Arbor Golf Course earlier this season.
Evergreen did win its fourth straight 4A team title. Golden was a distant second place a full 180 strokes behind the Cougars. Juniors Liam Houlihan and Lincoln Mackay allowed the Cougars to sweep the top three spots in the all-conference standings.
Long and the Cougars should be one of the top contenders for the 4A team title in a few weeks.
“Hopefully we can give it a better run this year,” Long said of the 4A state tournament coming up Oct. 2 and 3 at e Bridges in Montrose. “I think we are ready.”
First up for Long and the Cougars is regionals. Long said the Cougars know their regional course in Colorado Springs — Country Club of Colorado — very well. Evergreen, along with all the other 4A Je co programs, competed at the 4A Re-

gion 2 tournament on Sept. 20.
On the 5A side, Chat eld junior Jesse Hand won the individual title. For the third straight year, the medalist title was decided in an extremely close race.
Hand edged out Valor Christian senior Ethan Rainey by a single stroke. Columbine junior Alex Lest nished third, just two strokes behind Hand.
“Honestly, I knew I was able couple of strokes back going into the day,” Hand said. “I didn’t know until the last hole that I had a chance.”
Hand asked his coach if he needed to eagle his nal hole to take the medalist title. e junior was relieved when he was told he actually had a 1-shot lead going into the par 5 18th.
Still, Hand had to scramble to make par after a poor third shot. His pitch to the green hit the ag stick and he was able to make a short putt for par to shoot an even-par, 72.
“It was a lot of fun but a stressful nish for sure,” Hand said.
Valor won the team title with Columbine nishing second and Chateld third. e Chargers will head to the 5A Central Regional tournament at the University of Denver Golf Club in Highlands Ranch on Sept. 20.
Hand is already a 2-time state quali er his freshman and sophomore seasons, but winning his rst league title does put some pressure on him.
“I just have to somehow break this curse that is happening,” Hand said.
“I’m going to try to forget winning this and kind of move on. I want to focus a lot on regionals. It isn’t a give-in.”
e curse is the past two 5A Je co League medalists haven’t quali ed for state. In 2021, Lakewood’s Max Lange won the 5A Je co League medalist title but didn’t qualify for state after a poor round at regionals. e same fate happened last season with Ralston Valley’s Dimarco Benallo — 5A Je co’s 2022 individual champion.

green, said chili is a great food to pull out of the freezer and heat up after a long day.
“It’s all about the simmer,” White said of the key to making a great chili.
While it was her rst time both attending and cooking at Big Chili, White could see what a great opportunity it was for re ghters to meet each other and community members. She said it’s also “great fundraising and good exposure to get volunteers.”
Along with re ghters, White said many of the mountain-area departments need auxiliary members and board members, and she encouraged residents to serve their departments however they can.
“ ere’s a role for everyone in the community,” she continued.
Down at the Evergreen Fire Protection District booth, auxiliary members Kim Marklund and Don Payton were serving up their EverGreen Chili, which later won Best Fire Department Chili.

* You can plant deciduous trees (trees that lose their leaves in the fall) strategically in order to reduce your heating and cooling costs. eir leaves grow in the spring, blocking summer’s heating rays, but when winter comes, they fall o to let the sun in, warming things up a bit.

* M.C. in Arizona would like to know some alternative uses for hair conditioner. Here goes: use as a shaving lotion for legs or face; a makeup remover; ouch-free bandage removal; soften makeup brushes or paintbrushes before storage; get knots out of doll hair or costume wigs; wash delicates (think silks and pantyhose); rub on a shower rod to help curtain glide e ortlessly; and lastly, soak a shrunken sweater in a conditioner/ water solution to soften the bers, then gently try stretching the
sweater back to size.
* “Clean an egg carton very well. Flip it over and make slits in each egg cup. is works wonders as a child’s card holder for card games.” -- L.P. in Maryland
* Use an empty paper towel roll to store plastic grocery bags. Just stu to capacity. ese “bag sticks” are easy to store in a drawer or even mounted on the side of a trash can with double-stick tape.
* When cleaning glass tabletops or chrome xtures, try using newspaper instead of paper towels or rags. ere is no lint left behind, and newspaper gives a better shine.
