Developers demolish vacant El Rancho building Future vision for Evergreen gateway property includes hotel and retail uses

BY JANE REUTER JREUTER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The long-vacant Observatory bar in El Rancho was demolished Jan. 8 and 9, an action developers hope clears the way for redevelopment.

However, county officials said developers Jack and Sherry Buchanan of Northstar Ventures did not initially obtain the required demolition permit. Jefferson County issued a stop work order on the Evergreen site near I-70 and Evergreen Parkway Jan. 10, but it was lifted later that day when developer Sherry Buchanan filed the needed county permit.

She said the permit issue was a miscommunication that was “easily corrected.”

Environmental demolition contractor Hudspeth Inc., representing the developers, obtained a demolition permit from the Colorado Department of Public Health. But a Jefferson County official said that’s only one of two steps required for demoSEE OBSERVATORY, P2

lition. The other is a $30 county permit, needed to ensure an accurate tax record with the county assessor.

The permit can be — and in this case was —obtained retroactively, said Andre Jaen, Jefferson County’s manager of operations for Building Safety.

“The developer got their state approvals; they’re clearly trying to do the right thing,” he said.

The Buchanans, both Evergreen residents, are now seeking tenants for the 6.5-acre commercial site.

“We’re in talks with several retailers,” Jack Buchanan said. “Our No. 1 goal is a hotel. We know the area needs a hotel. Beyond that, we’ve hired a retail broker who is talking with a few different retailers about various pads on the property. None of those are final.”

They said their next immediate step is to obtain a grading permit from Jefferson County to prepare the site, which was once also home to a gas station.

land.

“It’s a beautiful property with stunning views of the Continental Divide and absolutely fabulous access to the highway. We are honored to be part of developing it.”

Sherry Buchanan is the agent for Northstar, a limited partnership. She said other partners in the project are local residents who do not want to be identified.

The Buchanans had originally aimed to also rezone the adjacent Foothills Fire property for commercial development, but have since backed away from those plans.

The site’s commercial zoning es-

tablishes permitted uses and building standards. Public hearings are not required for development, but county officials said the public will be notified about project proposals and allowed to comment.

Those proposals must undergo a site development plan process, which ensures they meet all required standards and regulations.

“It’s an administrative process with no public hearings, but it is publicly noticed and the public is given the opportunity to comment on those proposals,” said Jefferson County planning supervisor Russ Clark.

The length of the site development plan process varies with each application.

“It’s not unusual for a site development plan to take six to nine months before they obtain building permits,” he said.

The Evergreen Metropolitan District has not yet seen the most recent proposal to determine if it can provide the development with water and wastewater.

“It’s still very much in the preliminary stage on our end,” said Jason Stawski, the district’s general manager.

The Buchanans are anxious to move forward.

“I think the locals are glad one of the ugliest buildings in town is finally gone,” Jack Buchanan said. “We’re excited about what it could be.”

Neighbors have expressed concerns about the development’s impact on water pressure needed for fighting fires, water use and increased traffic congestion, as well as the density and scale of the original proposal.

Residents, online commenters question Evergreen Park and Recreation District’s camera use, alleged removal of social media comments

th A chaotic public comment seslysion ensued at the Jan. 9 Everhegreen Park and Recreation Dissetrict board meeting when more tythan 260 people from around the world attended via Zoom.

Executive Director Cory Vander Veen said the camera was installed as part of a pilot security program to monitor the park for vandalism and any other incidents. It was removed “because of communications from the community and homeowners” and because “it had served its primary purpose” in the trial program, he said.

Several of Romero’s supporters said they also shared their concerns about the camera on EPRD’s Facebook page but said the comments had disappeared. They alleged that their comments were removed by officials, and users were blocked.

“This is censorship, a constitutional rights issue,” said Patricia Mayberry, who spoke via Zoom during the EPRD meeting. “I’m a United States citizen. When things go on in our country that are not right, we stand up for one anothSEE EPRD, P4

er. You’re a government agency.

There should be transparency.”

Romero filed a lengthy open records request Jan. 8, asking EPRD for video footage, details on the camera’s installation and purpose, and information about the deletion of comments and policies regarding its Facebook page.

The EPRD board is so far saying little about the recent developments. The board met in executive session with its attorney during its Jan. 9 meeting, after hearing concerns from Romero and her supporters during the meeting’s public comment period.

“Our attorneys are working on some basic press release to go out to the community, including participants from Zoom,” Vander Veen said. “The hope is that we have some communication out to them in the coming week.”

Jeff Roberts, executive director of the Colorado Freedom of Information Coalition, said it’s unclear whether EPRD is guilty of a First Amendment violation.

“If the comments were taken down because of the viewpoint they presented, the person who was harmed by that may have a First Amendment claim,” he said.

“It’s my understanding that social media sites run by public entities can be viewed as public forums.

This is the official Facebook page of the parks district. I would think that is a public forum.”

Vander Veen said the board is talking with its attorney about the open records request and social media concerns. He did not deny or confirm that EPRD staff or board members had deleted comments or blocked users.

“This is new territory,” he said.

“We’re working with our attorneys to understand what occurred, what’s happening and what will be done.”

Not everyone who spoke at the meeting was critical of EPRD. “I hope EPRD is able to learn from this experience, put controls in place and move forward with offering the services you do,” said Robyn Speirn, an Evergreen resident who works as an in-house legal counsel.

“Just know the business community is behind what you are doing,” said Nancy Judge, president of the Evergreen Chamber. “We’re all thrilled about the things that are going to be forthcoming, and how it’s going to continue to improve our community as a place people want to move to and potentially open businesses.”

Background

Romero bought her home on Bear Creek in 2021. Park visitors had for years used part of the property to access the creek.

After buying the house on the south side of the creek, Romero enforced her property rights on the north side of the creek, resulting in a settlement with JCOS. The settlement provides permanent public access to Bear Creek from Kittredge Park, establishes boundaries for both public and private land delineated with fencing, and provided Romero a $250,000 settlement from JCOS. Vander Veen said this week the fence that will delineate the properties will be installed “hopefully in the next few weeks or months.”

He also said the board is considering revising its public comment policy.

Romero, meanwhile, said she was not looking for further controversy.

“I was completely ready and prepared to go about living my life in 2024,” she said in a recent TikTok video. “I’m not the one that allegedly pointed a publicly funded piece of surveillance equipment at a private property owner. And I am certainly not the one who started deleting the public’s comments by the hundreds from a governmentrun page … and blocking people from a government page, either.”

Here’s a Statistical Review of the Denver Metro Real Estate Market in 2023

Now that 2023 is in the books, I have done some statistical analysis of the year and how it compared to the other three “Covid years.”

The result of that research is reflected in the various charts on this page. In addition to the “Covid years,” of course, we have the “interest rate surge” years, which had the opposite effect.

Covid unexpectedly super-charged the real estate market, while the interest rate surge put a wet blanket on it. The effects of each are clearly visible in the charts.

One way to do an apples-to-apples comparison of the years is to look at the price per finished square foot, which is independent of the price of the home. In this first chart, you can see how the value of homes using that criterion surged during 2020 and 2021 but dropped quickly in 2022 and has more or less leveled off since:

Looking at the both the median and average sold prices of homes, you see the same trend. I like to look at the median rather than the average when studying the market, because a few multimillion-dollar home sales can have a big effect on the average price of sold homes but has no effect on the median price.

market but because listings go under contract so quickly. However, when interest rates surge as much as they did in 2022-2023, homeowners will refrain from moving up (or downsizing) because of “rate lock.” They don’t want to sell their home with a sub-3% mortgage only to buy a replacement home at double that rate (or more). You can see that in this chart of active vs. sold listings:

In mid-2022 as interest rates began to rise, the sale of homes began to plummet and sellers took or kept their homes off the market at a rate higher than usual. The initial surge in active listings at that time was because fewer listings already on the market were going under contract as buyers waited in hopes that interest rates would decline again. By January 2023 it was evident that rates were staying high, and the pent-up demand of buyers to buy and sellers to sell kicked in.

So, how slow did the market become?

The following charts are good measures of that. As the pandemic took effect in March 2020, buyers flooded the market (as reflected above) buying homes further from their places of work and/or with more room for home offices now that work-at-home became a thing. This depleted the supply of homes for sale (again as reflected above), and caused the median days on market to plunge to 5 or 6 days. Because there are always overpriced homes which languish on the market, the average days in MLS (DIM)

However, the fact that the average sold price is consistently higher than the median price shows how active the market in million-dollar homes is.

In a seller’s market, the number of active listings drops, not because homeowners aren’t putting their homes on the

remained over 20 until finally sellers saw the writing on the wall and lowered their prices enough to sell, hence the low average DIM by mid-2023.

By November 2022, new listings had dropped to a record low, but that was matched last month as shown in the next chart. Expired listings are another meas-

ure of the market’s health — and of how many sellers overprice their homes.

That, too, hit a peak in late 2022 and again at the end of 2023.

One of my favorite measurements of the seller’s market during Covid was the average ratio of sold price to listing price, indicating how much the average home benefited from a bidding war. In early 2021 and 2022, as shown in the following chart, it reached a record of

about 6% over asking price. Prior to 2020 it was typical for homes, on average, to sell slightly below asking price.

As this last chart shows, homes aren’t now selling for above their original

price but are selling for about their current listing price once that price had been lowered enough.

As I’ve said so many times in the past (see the archive of my columns online at www.JimSmithColumns.com), pricing your home at or slightly below the market will typically net you more than if you list it for a wished-for price and then chase the market downhill.

Also, just like politics, all real estate is local. Even within my hometown of Golden, I have watched homes languish on the market in one neighborhood while they trigger bidding wars a mile or two away.

Bottom line, always hire an experienced Realtor like those of us at Golden Real Estate if you want to price your home right and get the highest price.

Proposed firearms area at Staunton State Park raises concerns Neighbors and park supporters say use is out of step and has other potential impacts

BY JANE REUTER JREUTER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Staunton State Park, located west of Conifer, plans to open a firearms testing site for hunter education certification, but some neighbors and park supporters are not on board with the idea.

Park officials said the area would be limited in use and provide a convenient site for prospective hunters to demonstrate the firearms competency needed for hunter safety certifications. But some say it’s out of step with the original vision for the park and poses potential safety and environmental impacts to humans and wildlife.

A public meeting on the plans is at 5:30p.m., Jan. 29 at the Staunton

Staunton controversy: A proposed firearms testing site at Staunton State Park has PHOTO COURTESY OF STAUNTON STATE PARK created concern among neighbors and park supporters.

State Park Visitors Center, 12102 S Elk Creek Rd, Pine.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife has

hosted five hunter-education courses at the park’s visitors center since it opened in 2019.

Prospective hunters must complete a course before they can apply for a Colorado hunting license, including demonstrating their ability to safely use firearms by shooting a .22 rifle.

But because the firearms exercise can’t currently be completed at Staunton State Park, park manager Zach Taylor said students do the testing at private land or facilities in the Denver area, or simply never get their certification. To resolve that issue, CPW would like to provide a space for firearms field testing at Staunton.

The site would be “solely for hunter education certification,” Taylor said, which requires each student to fire 10 rounds from a .22 rifle. That typically takes about two minutes per student, he said.

“It won’t be an every weekend, all weekend event,” he said, but added course frequency could increase with the improved facilities. “If we have a location where students can complete the course, we might be

park. The group has raised more than $400,000 for park projects, he said.

“I’ve been involved in this park before the beginning, and contributed thousands of volunteer hours to it,” Sparer said. “To see it take a path that could not only hurt donations but impact visitors, neighbors and wildlife — this is one where I’m putting my feet down and saying we’ve got to do something different.”

Sparer is opposed to the use overall, as well as its proximity to the neighborhood and the Staunton Homestead cabin. He’s also concerned the space could expand to include other firearms users and more frequent use. And he’s dismayed by the process park leaders have so far used.

“It’s a lack of trust now, due to the fact that they were going ahead and doing this without any public input,” he said.

Christine Groves, who lives in nearby Elk Falls Ranch, said Staunton has always been “a fabulous neighbor” and consistently considered public input.

But the hunter education site hasn’t followed that same pattern.

“It just hasn’t been handled professionally or in line with how Staunton

has managed things historically,” she said. “Now the table has switched to where they’re going to tell us what they’re doing without any needs assessment, impact studies or consideration for those houses and pets that live on the ridge behind the shooting range.

“This is just no place for a shooting range,” she continued. “It takes away from the visitor experience. It is a breach of the trust that has been given through the donations of both land and money.”

Dan Mueller, president of the Elk Falls Ranch Property Owners Association, said he’s taking a wait-and-see approach.

“I am concerned but only because I don’t have all the answers,” he said.

“The plan is for that to happen at a public meeting.”

Taylor and CPW officers will host the meeting in late January or early February, Taylor said. The Canyon Courier will post the date and location when it is announced.

“We plan to demonstrate what this class is and does, and to show folks exactly what we’re going to be doing,” he said.

VOICES From illusion to delusion

T

o make good decisions unfettered by illusions, we must act on clear, honest, factual information. At times though, we ignore the truth in front of our nose and forge ahead despite ominous flashing caution and warning signs.

Think of a person or group you thought would never do you harm but did or had your best interests at heart but didn’t. How did you feel when you realized that? Angry? Hurt? Snookered? Betrayed?

If you’ve been played the fool, you not only might harbor those feelings, you might also feel demeaned, used, or manipulated like a puppet on a string. Understandably so given that no one, I presume, wants to be used, to be another’s puppet.

When the truth is revealed, it can be akin to ripping a bandage off raw skin because it invariably touches on sensitive core areas like religious, political, social, or personal.

Of them, the personal can be the most difficult to swallow because it can reveal something uncomfortable about you.

It’s important to distinguish between illusion and delusion. While they mean similar things—something false or misleading—delusion is a mental disorder that is often a symptom of psychosis. It involves the inability to tell what is real from

what is unreal and truth from falsehoods. Illusion, on the other hand, can be not only more benign, it can be useful at times. After all, if we knew all that could be known about another, we’d probably shrink back Columnist in disgust or horror. We’ve coined a term for that: TMI. Frighteningly though, sometimes we know the truth but opt to deny or disregard it. Why do we do that?

Why create and hold fast to illusions and live out parts—if not all—of our life in accordance with them?

Myopia is both a physical and psychological condition. While eyewear can facilitate correcting the physical limitation, it takes conscious will to step from the world of myopic illusion. If we fail to do that, we fall into the trap of believing that our perceptions and worldviews are the only valid ones. To that the nineteenth-century philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer stated, “Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world.”

A tenet of Buddhism is that we spend much of our earthly time living lives of illusion, seeing all that

JERRY FABYANIC

surrounds us, from the immediate to the greater universe, as substantial, ultimate reality. It’s hard for the Western mind to wrap itself around that as well as the Buddhist concept of emptiness. Reason suggests that if something is empty, there’s nothing in or to it. But that is not necessarily the case. An uncovered empty bottle is not empty. Rather, it’s filled with the same benign—hopefully—air that you’re breathing. But a sealed bottle that is similarly empty might be filled with a noxious gas.

That image can serve as a metaphor about the negativity we fill our minds with and help us take stock of our illusions. Some are benign; others malodorous.

We generally believe the stories we tell ourselves about others or situations, both positive and negative, are true. But that can be self-delusional because sometimes we discover we were wrong, what we believed was erroneous. Our healthy nature surfaces when we admit the errancy of our perspective and change it. The unhealthy aspect appears when we obstinately remain steadfast despite irrefutable evidence to the contrary. That is when illusion can morph into pathological delusion, which often manifests or expresses itself as bitterness, anger, or rage.

That has ramifications at the

personal and interpersonal levels and at the macro, societal level. To our detriment, we sometimes don blinders and concoct fantastical fictions in order to absolve our consciences of acknowledging the unpleasant truth of a person or group so to continue covering for and supporting them by ignoring or explaining away their excesses.

As it is with the Buddhist teachings on illusion and emptiness, it can be hard for the Western mind to grasp the Buddhist concept of impermanence, although the impermanent nature of phenomena might be easier to grasp because we know nothing lasts forever. Including us.

One day each person taking breaths in 2024 will be gone. And all that will remain is that which we leave behind, primarily our legacy and our story replete with a chronicle of our behaviors and choices.

If we’d keep that forefront in our minds, our lives would be not only more authentic and reality based, they’d be less illusionary. We’d make wiser choices, maybe sleep better, and this world would be in a far better place.

There’s no ‘Misery’ at new Miners Alley

an culture has never been as prevalent as it is in the age of social media, but toxic fandom has been around as long as there have been celebrities. One of the most famous examples of this is Annie Wilkes, from Stephen King’s classic story, “Misery.”

Most people might be familiar with the famous 1990 film starring Kathy Bates, but there’s also a stage version, which Golden’s Miners Alley Playhouse is doing as their first production of 2024.

“It’s a show about survival, celebrity, and how far we can be driven when we’re not fulfilling our true dreams,” said director Warren Sher-

“Misery” runs at Miners’ new location, 1100 Miners Alley, from Friday, Jan. 19 through Sunday, Feb. 11.

Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and 2 p.m. on

Sunday.

The production is a reunion for Sherrill and lead actress Emma Messenger, who played Annie un-

“Annie is such a delight to embody.

Here you have a mentally teetering woman who lives by her own rules.

She’s a character of emotional extremes, flying from child-like yearnings to brutal rages and back again, all within seconds.”

The story follows the trials of romance novelist Paul Sheldon (Torsten Hillhouse), who is rescued from a car crash by Wilkes. She turns out to be his biggest fan, but

Both Sherrill and Messenger spoke glowingly about the team at the new Miners Alley location and how crucial they are in making the production everything it can be.

“It’s a very technical show, with special effects on stage and everything. Right now, we have the right cast, the right technical crew and the right space,” Sherrill said. “It’s a horror novel, a horror movie and now a horror play and I want people SEE READER, P9

to be sitting on the edge of their seat.

I want screams, jumps, all of that.”

While the show does explore some larger truths about society, it’s the type of production audiences are going to love just for the experience.

“I hope audiences come away feeling like they’ve just survived the best theatrical roller coaster of their lives,” Messenger wrote. “I hope it’s scary and fun in all the best ways. There’s a surprising amount of humor hidden in all that shattering horror, so I can’t wait for audiences to buckle up and enjoy the ride.”

STARTING 2024 WITH A SPLASH

More than 400 locals inaugurate the new year at Evergreen Lake Plunge

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

W

hether they wanted to support a local cause or wash off any remnants of 2023, more than 400 people from across the Denver metro area celebrated New Year’s Day by jumping into Evergreen Lake.

The annual Evergreen Lake Plunge had record participation in 2024. Nonprofit Active4All, which fundraises for local parks and recreation programs, sold out its 400 pre-registered spots and limited day-of registrations.

The weather was likely a factor, as several plunge veterans said the sunny conditions and 40-degree temperatures made a difference. In other years, participants have faced cloudy, windy weather and literal 0-degree conditions, which made getting out of the water that much worse, they described.

This year’s participants were also a mix of returners and newcomers, with many convincing their friends and relatives to jump too.

Wheat Ridge’s Steve Moyer said doing a Polar Plunge-type event has been on his “bucket list” for years. So, when he decided 2024 would finally be the year he’d take the literal plunge, he convinced three of his loved ones to do it with him.

SPLASH FROM PAGE 10

Moyer even sported a shark hat for the occasion, which was one of many fun costumes people wore to the event.

Evergreen’s Jon Balliet dressed as a hummingbird — complete with sound effects.

Balliet, who’s done the plunge seven or eight times, said he wears a new costume each year. He’s won the costume contest before as a shark eating a person and decided to dress as an elk for 2023’s event.

This year, he chose a hummingbird, saying, “They’re all over Evergreen.”

Brothers Stephen and Greg Leathers — from Highlands Ranch and Englewood, respectively — donned Christmas sweaters and pajama pants for the plunge. Stephen said he talked Greg into doing it, as they both thought it’d be fun.

Greg had plunged before at Lake Michigan, but both were newcomers to the Evergreen event. They appreciated the community aspect of it, noting how many people decided to start 2024 this way — plunging into icy waters together.

Several groups like Evergreen Country Day School seventh-graders and the Evergreen High School girls basketball team plunged together.

Golden High School swimmers Mica Gillaspie and Hanna Heard decided to as well.

Gillaspie, a member of the Evergreen Hurricanes swim team, said she heard about it from her coach and roped Heard into doing it too.

The two said their goals for 2024 included helping the Golden Demons “make it to state.”

The Evergreen Lake Plunge is also a fun New Year’s Day outing for the spectators, like bagpiper Dan Kingsley.

The Lakewood resident said event emcee Alan Gionet recruited him to provide music while participants are waiting in line. Kingsley’s now performed at the event five or six times, describing it as an overall positive experience.

“So many people are out here having a great time,” he said. “ … It’s a good way to start the year off fresh.”

So long, 2023!

Some participants signed up for the 2024 Evergreen Lake Plunge because they had a less-than-ideal 2023 and wanted a powerful way to transition

Dressed as walruses, the Bebarta siblings of Greenwood Village approach the platform for the Jan. 1 Evergreen Lake Plunge. Emma Bebarta, who was doing her third plunge, said she signed her siblings up to do it with her this year.

into the new year.

Greenwood Village siblings Emma, Grace and Owen Bebarta described their 2023 as “eventful” and “weird.”

So, they wanted to start the new year “with a bang.”

Emma, who was completing her third plunge, said she signed up the first time because she “wanted a refresh” after the COVID-19 pandemic.

This year, she made her siblings do it with her.

Emma and Grace — who are both in college — and Owen — a junior and a swimmer at Cherry Creek High School — described the plunge as a fun activity they could do together while they were all on winter break.

In that spirit, they donned matching walrus costumes for their family

plunge.

Likewise, Tricia Holloway and Michelle Kemberling — both from Centennial — and Annie Zdrojewski of Evergreen dressed as phoenixes to symbolize starting 2024 by “rising from the ashes.”

The three friends plunged last year, saying it was a strong way to start 2023. Their intention when they plunged, they described, was to have a year of transformation.

2023 was ultimately a transformative year with a lot of growth, they said, but perhaps not in the way they wanted. They described it as “a burning year.”

So, the three were being more specific with their 2024 intentions, asking for transformation mixed with calm, stability and gratitude. And, rather than donning the tutus they wore in 2023, they dressed as phoenixes — creatures burn but rise to soar again.

Holloway, Kemberling and Zdrojewski recommended others try it, as it’s a “beautiful way to start the year” that people won’t regret.

All4 a good cause

The Evergreen Lake Plunge is Active4All’s biggest fundraiser, raising at least $25,000 annually for Evergreen Park & Recreation District’s special education program — called INSPIRE — and other programs.

Balliet said the fundraising aspect is a big reason he plunges every year.

“It’s a great cause,” he said. “Everyone should have access to parks and recreation.”

That’s something Clint Frost and his family know all too well.

Frost’s 9-year-old son is an INSPIRE participant, attending the annual summer camp, and going on regular outings like swimming and horse riding. Frost said his son really enjoys skiing and being in the mountains, adding, “That’s his happy place.”

So, Frost plunged this year to support his son and other INSPIRE participants who benefit from Active4All’s fundraising. Frost said he’s plunged before in 2016 or 2017, but travel and COVID-19 prevented him from doing it again sooner. Now, though, he wants to be a regular.

He described how hard everyone works to make the annual event a success, from the sponsors and organizers to the firefighters and volunteers. The participants’ financial contributions and word-of-mouth advertising are also big factors.

Frost said of everyone who helps make it possible: “I can’t thank them enough.”

SOUTH JEFFCO – Deputies received a call from Austin, Texas, reporting a theft in Littleton, Colorado. Rose explained that until recently she’d shared a Colorado residence with Dahlia, but after an unfortunate falling-out had left to seek greener pastures in the Lone Star State. It seems Rose had departed rather abruptly, and had only later arranged to have her friend, Daisy, pick up her larger belongings and have Dahlia send the rest to southward by the mails. Alas, when her stuff arrived stuffed inside the black trash bags in which Dahlia had shipped them, Rose discovered her personal inventory light by one white bikini, one pair of black Conrad jeans and “$3-worth of costume jewelry.” Rose believed Dahlia had kept those semi-precious items for herself and wanted deputies to extract them if possible. Officers were

hard on the case when Rose called about an hour later to call off the hunt. It turned out Daisy had had bathing suit, bloomers and baubles safe in her possession all along.

Wipeout on the learning curve

SOUTH JEFFCO – It was totally sweet. The electric-blue Impreza came roaring down the street like a thunderbolt, its screaming tires weaving back and forth across the double-yellow and holding only tenuously onto the pavement. Approaching a curve far more swiftly than its designers had anticipated, the car nearly lost control and came within a whisper of smashing into an on-coming JCSO patrol car. The deputy instantly turned and gave pursuit, activating lights and siren and straining to catch a glimpse of the speeding Impreza as it howled left onto South Harlan Street, leaving graceful black

The young driver stepped out of the car and approached the deputy. “You’re going to arrest me,” he said, matter-of-factly. The officer asked him why he thought he was going to be arrested. “The way I was driving back there,” the fellow shrugged. “I almost hit you. It was stupid.” The officer agreed that it wasn’t the smartest move he could have made and asked to see his driver’s license. “I don’t have one,” he admitted. “It was taken away.”

In fact, his license had been “taken away” after he got nailed for driving while it was “under suspension.” It was his lucky day, though. Instead of arresting him, the deputy merely cited him for driving while “under revocation” and, of course, “reck-

Instead of putting hands on him, deputies laid some truth on Archie, explaining that they couldn’t leave until they were sure that all present were safe.

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Evergreen’s girls basketball team knocked off the lone remaining undefeated Class 5A team in the state on Jan 5.

The Cougars snagged a 32-28 road victory over Standley Lake in a Class 5A/4A Jeffco League opener for both teams.

“We started league against arguably the best team in our league and the only team left undefeated in 5A,” Evergreen first-year coach Cub Buenning said. “Coming out and getting a win to start league play was everything to us. I’m super proud of the girls.”

Standley Lake (10-1, 1-1 in 5A/4A Jeffco League)* and Evergreen (7-3, 1-1)* were both in the top six of the CHSAA Selection and Seeding Index before Friday night’s action. The Gators were the last remaining undefeated 5A girls team in the state. The No. 6 Cougars’ lone loss before winter break was a 41-26 home defeat to Pueblo West on Dec. 19.

“We came into this game expecting to win,” Evergreen junior Taylor Bailey said of knocking off the previously undefeated Gators with a handful of Jeffco League coaches in attendance scouting the game.

The game wasn’t a thing of beauty with a total of 60 points scored. Evergreen had a key 13-0 run in the

second quarter to open up a 23-12 lead at halftime. However, the Cougars made just two field goals in the second half; both 3-pointers from Bailey.

“Offensively, we aren’t a powerful team,” Buenning admitted after the Cougars scored just nine points in the second half, but still managed to pull out the victory. “We pride ourselves on playing defense, rebounding and getting to the fourth quarter and finding a way to pull it out.”

Bailey’s 3-pointer midway through the third quarter was the lone score for Evergreen in the third. Standley Lake was able to cut the Cougars’ lead to 26-20 going into the final quarter.

“I was happy when I was wide open. That was ideal,” Bailey said of her 3-pointer midway through the fourth quarter that gave the Cougars a 29-24 lead. “I got lucky that I got open when we needed it.”

Standley Lake freshman Sydney Martin had six points in the final quarter that helped pull the Gators as close as 29-28 with 1:55 left in the game. However, Evergreen went 3-for-6 from the free-throw line in the final minutes to hold off the comeback attempt by the Gators.

“It feels really good because, in the end, it was really scary and close,” Bailey said. “Most teams fold under SEE BASKETBALL, P15

Evergreen sisters Tatum and Elle Buenning, along with junior Addison McEvers, did a solid job of collapsing on Serlen when she got the ball inside. The three also combined for 17 points offensively.

Standley Lake continued conference play at Bear Creek on Wednesday, Jan. 10, where the Gators won 50-45.

Evergreen fit in a non-league game at Douglas County on Monday, Jan. 8, and lost by just one point, 3635. Then a big league showdown against the defending 5A/4A Jeffco League champion D’Evelyn on Jan. 10 brought a 57-41 loss.

that (situation). I’m glad we made a few free throws late. I’m really glad we pulled it out.”

The most impressive job Evergreen’s defense did was limiting Standley Lake senior Taylin Serlen to 10 points before she fouled out in the final minute. The Regis University signee came in averaging 23.4 points per game.

Buenning said the Cougars had developed their defense in the fall that is designed to limit players like the 6-foot-2 scoring post player Serlen. “(Serlen) was averaging something like 23 points per game,” Bailey said. “I was happy we kept her to 10 points. That was really exciting for us. I think that is what got us the win.”

EL RANCHO – Alerted by the Swede Gulch Road license plate

reader, on the morning of Nov. 28 deputies located the stolen 2017 Kia Forte parked and unoccupied in front of the Home Depot. Correctly figuring the person who parked it there would be back for it, officers cooled their jets for about 10 minutes and confronted the driver as he prepared to drive away. As to why he was driving a car on Thornton’s hot list, he said he “bought if from a neighbor for a hundred bucks.” As to the cache

of fentanyl-laced oxycodone in the center console, he said “they aren’t mine.” As to the litter of needles, pipes and burnt foil covering both front seats, he said his drug of choice is “a little bit of everything.”

As to the multiple arrest warrants with his name on them out of Colorado and New Mexico, he offered no additional illumination.

Officers arrested him and notified the vehicle’s rightful owner, who was pleased to get her car back,

but sorry to hear that the roughly two zillion dollars worth of tools it had contained were nowhere in evidence.

Directing debut: 2 Clear Creek High School seniors direct the school’s fall play

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Two Clear Creek High School seniors who love theater have taken that love a step further.

Seniors Indiana Crawford and Reese Dunbar spent the fall as codirectors of the school’s fall play, “North Woods Nonsense,” which was performed Nov. 9-10. As they imparted their knowledge of theater to other students, they learned a lot, too.

The collaboration worked well for Crawford and Dunbar because Crawford is the tech person — working with lights, sets and scene blocking — while Dunbar took care of the acting and costuming aspects of the comedy. They managed a cast of 12 actors and eight crew members, with more than half of them middle school students. Many cast members had never acted in a play before.

“We were such proud moms watching the productions,” Crawford said. “I have such good memo-

ries of directing the play.”

Clear Creek High School/Middle School principal Chris Gould was pleased with the experiment, saying it worked out well for everyone.

The school district has an emphasis on experiential learning, and he watched the seniors grow as they tackled all aspects of directing a play.

“The district has pushed us to think of internships in different ways,” Gould said. “We were looking for ways to have more voices in our theater productions.”

The student directors worked under Heidi Lupinacci, the district’s preschool director, who served as their supervisor.

“North Woods Nonsense” centers around a rundown hotel in northern Maine. The handyman writes a fictional article for the tacky tabloid “The National Divulger” about Bigfoot kidnapping a local resident. The rumored sighting of Sasquatch provides the excuse for assistants to the SEE CCHS PLAY, P22

worst congressman in history to suggest a trip to the senator, and zany antics ensue at the hotel.

Crawford said cast members had to learn that she and Dunbar were directors, not their friends. They set expectations and worked to create a collaborative atmosphere while still imparting their passion for theater to the cast and providing them with a positive experience.

Crawford said she learned about becoming someone cast members could come to, much like a teacher.

“I wanted to teach them how to improve and how to work with others,” Crawford said. “I learned how to say ‘no.’” I also learned how to be in control, a leader, to communicate and adaptability.”

Dunbar said she’s taken acting

classes outside of CCHS, so she knew she could direct the actors, saying her challenge was how to keep the students engaged.

While Crawford wants to work in theater professionally, Dunbar said she doesn’t because she doesn’t want to turn her No. 1 passion into work. Instead, she wants to major in psychology in college and work with children.

“Their performances were surprisingly good, and they did a great job as young actors,” Gould said. “We also saw a real diversity of students.

Theater has so much impact on young people, and there is so much opportunity for them to grow.”

He told Crawford and Dunbar: “This will be part of your legacy.”

Arvada annexes two parcels of land, including pump station, for Canyon Pines development City stretches west of Highway 93 for first time, lots priced between $400,000 to $3.6 million

BY RYLEE DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Arvada got a little bit larger at the most recent city council meeting, as the city annexed two parcels of land for the Canyon Pines development on the far west side of town.

The two parcels — previously part of unincorporated Jefferson County — were annexed into the city and rezoned at the Jan. 8 Arvada City Council meeting by a unanimous vote. One parcel is 1.2 acres while the other is 2.8 acres and includes the Debrouillarde Pump Station, which will deliver potable water to the area.

Canyon Pines is located near the intersection of Highway 72 and Highway 93; the annexed parcels are

ASCENT CHURCH “Real people pursuing a real God” All are Welcome Sundays at 10am In-person or Online www.ascentchurch.co 29823 Troutdale Scenic Drive, Evergreen

located at approximately 52 Canyon Pines Drive.

Both parcels were zoned Planned Unit Development as they will be part of the 93-lot Canyon Pines development that has already begun construction. The parcels were previously zoned Jefferson County Agricultural (1 and 2, respectively).

Developer Chad Ellington, with Peak Development, called the annexations and rezoning a “clean-up effort” that brings the pump station into the city and allows for three additional lots to be constructed. It is the final administrative step needed for the development to move forward.

“The recent City Council meeting was really a smaller effort to clean up some parcels around the primary Canyon Pines property and bring them into the City of Arvada in order to add three new lots and a parcel for the City’s new water pump station,” Ellington said.

Councilmember John Marriott praised the development and said it would add to Arvada’s diversity of housing stock in a multitude of

ways, as well as stretch the city west of Highway 93 for the first time.

“I think it’s particularly good news that we have this new very high-end development here in Arvada,” Marriott said. “We talk a lot about development, and all the attention seems to be on how cheaply you can do development. Well, it’s really good when cities have a variety of things developed, including multi-milliondollar homes. …This will bring about 90 households to Arvada of different

NOW HERE’S A TIP * Here’s a fun afternoon of play just waiting to happen: Check with your local grocery store or big box store to see if it has uncrushed cardboard boxes. Get several to create a cardboard city in your living room or child’s bedroom. They can be decorated to look like anything, or cut, trimmed and taped into most any shape. Kids even like to stock them with pillows and blankets for a cozy sleepover. When you’re done, break them down and recycle until the next adventure. -- J.J. in Florida * Sources who know say that if you drop a marble (clean glass) in your tea kettle, it will prevent it from scaling. * Like to use paper towels to dry your clean hands? Set them aside to dry, then you can use them for cleaning with glass cleaner or other solutions. * Use a shower curtain cut or folded in half under baby’s highchair to make cleaning up the floor easier.

Public notices are a community’s window into the government. From zoning regulations to local budgets, governments have used local newspapers to inform citizens of its actions as an essential part of your right to know. You know where to look, when to look and what to look for to be involved as a citizen. Local newspapers provide you with the information you need to get involved.
