Evergreen Middle School launches composting program School’s Green Team aims to extend program to all grades by year’s end

BY JANE REUTER JREUTER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Evergreen Middle School’s 6th graders are making the world a little greener. With help from the Evergreen Sustainability Alliance’s Community Compost Program, class members recently began composting their school lunches. The school’s Green Team hopes to roll the practice out to the whole school by the end of the academic year.

The Green Team is a group of sixth and seventh graders who meet on Fridays before the school day begins to discuss environmental issues.

With the start of the spring semester, the group debuted the school composting program, limiting it to 6th graders only during its initial phase.

Students, school staff and alliance leaders give the student-led initiative a thumbs-up.

“It’s been a huge success so far,” said Principal Tim Vialpando. “They functioned on day one as if this is From left, Evergreen Middle School 6th graders and Green Team Annika Bergstrand and Niamh Moloney help their fellow 6th SEE COMPOST, P2

“The kids get it,” said Wendy Neuman, director of programs for the Evergreen Sustainability Alliance.

their own homes.”

Before starting the composting program, Green Team members did a food waste audit and found the school was sending about 82 pounds a day to the landfill. Since the composting program began, the 6th graders alone are diverting 20-30 pounds of food a day away from the landfill.

The students are proud of their contributions.

“It feels really good that we’re helping the environment,” Niamh Moloney said.

“And it’s cool we get to bring the program to the whole school,” Segan

Manderson added.

“It’s really fun and it’s good for the school,” Kaylin Bullard said. “And we’re not sending so many biodegradable things to the landfill.”

Not only are the kids proud, but so are their Green Team sponsors.

“Most of the team had some knowledge about environmental issues already, and they want to know more about what they can do,” said counselor Scott Major, who co-sponsors the team with teacher Julia Fliss.

“If they’re given the opportunity to change their behavior, they do.”

NAR Releases Profile of Denver Metro Area Buyers and Sellers

Last week I reported on the real estate market in metro Denver. This week, I’m providing information from a National Association of Realtors (NAR) survey of buyers and sellers that was released in December. NAR did a national survey but provided data from the 169 Denver area respondents who had purchased a home in the 12-month period from July 2022 through June 2023. The buyers were identified from public records of transactions, not from MLS data.

Those buyers who had also sold a home constituted the database for the survey of sellers. The survey was limited to buyers of primary residences, not investment properties. Here’s my editing of the report released for Denver via the Denver Metro Association of Realtors.

Characteristics of Home Buyers • In Denver, the median age of recent home buyers was 43 years old, compared to 49 nationally. The largest share of home buyers in Denver this year were in the 25 to 34 years age group (27 percent) and the 35 to 44 years age group (25 percent). This graph shows both the Denver and national breakdowns:

• 82 percent of buyers were White/ Caucasian, 9 percent were Hispanic/ Latino, 2 percent were Black/African American, 8 percent were Asian/Pacific Islander, and 3 percent identified as other.

Financing the Home Purchase • For 42 percent of buyers, the source of the downpayment was their savings, and 35% of buyers cited using the proceeds from the sale of a primary residence for their downpayment. Here is the full breakdown: • The median percent financed for first-time buyers was 91 percent compared to 75 percent for repeat buyers.

• Buyers continue to see purchasing a home as a good financial investment.

Eighty-two percent reported they view a home purchase as a good investment.

home was the desire to move closer to friends and family (17 percent), the neighborhood has become less desirable (nine percent), or moving due to retirement (eight percent).

• Sellers typically lived in their home for 10 years before selling.

Do replace damaged countertops.

Do repair damaged walls and replace damaged doors that can’t be repaired.

Do replace those 1990s glass-and-brass lighting fixtures. (They’re so unappealing that Habitat’s thrift store won’t accept them as donations!)

Do replace burned out light bulbs. Now that LED replacement bulbs are so cheap (under a dollar in bulk at many stores), I suggest replacing all your incandescents or CFLs with LED “daylight” equivalents.

Do repaint where there is peeling or discolored paint. (Think “eyesore.”)

Do replace rotted timbers on your deck, then power wash and re-stain or repaint as necessary.

Do improve curb appeal (always the first impression), including weeding and pruning and freshening the front door.

man for our clients.)

Beyond the above advice, I tell my sellers to be strategic about major issues which they know need to be done. If these are likely to become inspection issues, don’t fix them prior to listing your home if they’re not the kind of eyesore which would deter a buyer from making an offer.

For example, I had a listing with damage to the concrete driveway. The seller was thinking he should repair it before putting the home on the market. We knew it would be an inspection issue, but by leaving it undone we could use it as a bargaining chip. Sure enough, we got under contract and the inspection demands included repairing the driveway. Since it was the most expensive item on a long list of repairs, we said we’d repair that but nothing else, and the buyer accepted it.

Evergreen Fire Rescue sets record year for call volume Graying population, residential fire alarms push service requests ever higher

BY JANE REUTER JREUTER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Clocking in just shy of 3,000, Evergreen firefighters set another record year for call volume in 2023. The increase is due in large part to the graying of Evergreen and the growing popularity of monitored residential fire alarm systems, according to Evergreen Fire Rescue Chief Mike Weege.

In total, the agency tallied 2,999 calls throughout the year. It’s a dramatic increase from just a few years ago, when it hovered around 2,000 calls annually, he said.

But few of those calls were major

fires or large-scale incidents, and nearly 20% of them are the outgrowth of an innovative residential safety and medical program.

EFR responded to 553 calls as part of its Evergreen Community Assistance Referral and Education program. Introduced in 2019 and viewed as a model for other agencies, ECARES is aimed at helping people age in their homes with medical assistance, fall prevention and other safety assessments. ECARES visits are scheduled and not triggered by a 911 call.

The call volume uptick is also linked to overall population growth in Evergreen, which has increased about 8% since 2010.

“But we really have an aging population,” Weege said. “We recognized that a long time ago. There are a lot of people who raised their kids here and just stayed. This is their home.

We’re seeing that aging population having a real impact on our call volume.”

ECARES calls were up about 100 from 2022, which shows Evergreen residents need and appreciate the program.

“Those are scheduled visits we are taking to improve the quality and comfort of life for our residents,” said Kris Kazian, EFR’s division chief of fire operations. “We’re seeing people age in place. And being able to plan and prepare for home health care is a big thing for them. It also creates different opportunities for us.”

EFR responded to 51 fires, recording one fire fatality in 2023. A woman died in aJanuary 2023 fire at a townhome on Silver Spruce Lane, an incident that was ruled accidental.

Many of the 51 fire calls were triggered by monitored residential systems. The systems transmit a signal

when fire is detected that sends a call to a fire department. While they can be lifesavers, the systems detect fires large and small — including those caused by scorched food.

“A lot of times we’ll be shut down en route to the call,” said Evergreen Fire/Rescue Chief Mike Weege, “They’ll say, I burnt a pizza, popcorn or something.”

Nearly 55% of the 2023 responses were to emergency medical calls.

Kazian said EFR is on track to break another record in 2024.

“We’re on call No. 146, including two fires already,” he said on Jan. 17.

“If we were to keep that up, that puts us at 3,300 for the year.”

EFR covers 121 square miles with full-time, paid paramedic staff and volunteer firefighters. It includes eight fire stations, an administration building, a fleet maintenance facility and a training building.

Shari Raymond named a Morrison MVP Long-time resident and community volunteer first to receive new annual award

BY JANE REUTER JREUTER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Shari Raymond has been helping keep Morrison Morrison for 62 years. And for that, the town recognized her Jan. 16 with its first MVP award.

Raymond, 87, is a long-time community volunteer. Among her decades-long list of contributions, she’s currently a Morrison alternate planning commissioner, sits on the town’s board of adjustments and is a member of the Ciderfest committee.

“I was humbled,” Raymond said after the presentation. “I never thought of myself as someone who should receive an award. There’s a lot of people who’ve done good for the town.”

Town Trustee Katie Gill nominated Raymond for the award, which will be given annually by the town of

Stone Brewing (all types) 12pkc $15.49

Morrison.

“Shari doesn’t like a lot of attention, and that’s one of the reasons I nominated her,” Gill said. “I think a lot of people may not realize how much she’s done for the town over the years because she really doesn’t toot her own horn. But she goes out of her way to participate and contribute. Anyone familiar with Shari knows her tireless work ethic and community spirit.”

The town’s motto is “Keep Morrison Morrison,” and Gill said Raymond’s been doing that “since before we even had the slogan.”

Raymond still lives on the same property she and her ex-husband bought when they moved to town.

The couple came to Colorado from rural Ohio, and neither wanted to live in a city. Morrison suited them.

They found a brick house for sale, and initially felt it was out of reach.

“We paid $19,500 for it, and we didn’t really think we could afford it at the time,” she said. “Now everybody laughs when they hear how much we paid for it.”

Raymond lives in an accesso-

ry dwelling unit built behind the house. Her daughter Julie and husband Terry live in the original home.

Raymond’s son Clint owns Morrison Car Works.

In addition to her volunteer work, Raymond also helps geologist Karen Wenrich with gem and mineral shows.

“I’m pretty active for my age,” she said. “I still mow my lawn, and I enjoy it. I maintain a house. It’s me and my cat, Cinder.”

residents, she helped secure a grant to refurbish the Old Town Hall, and is also a founding member of the Morrison Action Committee (now Pro-Mo).

“I’m not a social butterfly but I do like Morrison,” she said. “I’m not exactly a quiet person either. I’m kind of outspoken. My mouth engages before my mind thinks about it, and sometimes I say the wrong things.”

But actions — as the saying goes — speak louder than words. And

Raymond’s 60-plus years of ceaseless volunteering reflect her lifelong love of Morrison.

“If you’ve got to live in the Denver area, Morrison is a good place to be,” she said. “We’re kind of isolated, and we can’t grow much. We’re a community kind of town, and by that I mean we’re close-knit. We have a few people who go to work, come home and don’t get involved, but not many. We have an annual progressive dinner, and we’ll get 80 people. For a town this size, that’s a lot.

“Change is inevitable,” she continued. “But we’re trying to keep that small-town atmosphere.”

VOICES Just win, baby

A

l Davis, the colorful General Manager and former owner of the Oakland Raiders football team, had the slogan “Just win, baby.” The slogan could be taken in many ways, but obviously, it made the point that winning is what matters most.

The Raiders have won three Super Bowls. In college as in professional sports, winning is important too.

No one plays a game to get participation trophies. Sports is about winning. Having a winning record and teaching the players that winning is really what matters most.

NCAA college football in basketball have become big businesses for the colleges. They bring in millions, mostly from the TV rights of the contests. It was inevitable that players, seeing the huge paydays they were helping to produce, would ask for a piece of the action.

The Supreme Court knocked down the NCAA rules prohibiting the payment of college athletes. The vote was 9 to 0. They did so without suggesting how the NCAA might manage this bucket of worms.

Originally the idea was that players could be paid for sponsoring

a specific business and earning a fee. Now, it has degenerated into a process whereby schools collect money from alumni donors and distribute the money to their athletes. There are almost as many Columnist approaches as there are colleges.

Most coaches are not happy to have this additional task dropped in their laps. It’s a messy process.

Making it more difficult to manage is the change in rules that allows a player to decide to leave his or her university for greener pastures. In the past, a transferring athlete had to sit out a year. Now they are eligible to play at the new school with no delay. So, athletes are coming to their coaches and saying, “Coach, pay me more money or I’m gonna go somewhere else.” If this situation weren’t bad enough, add that national betting sites are promoting wagering on NCAA sporting events. It seems like just a matter of

time until we have a major scandal tied to someone paying an athlete or group of athletes to lose a game or shave points.

Obviously, this will be a disaster when it happens, and it will give a severe black eye to America’s favorite pastime, NCAA sports. The current system called NIL, standing for name, image, or likeness, is administered in accordance with the state laws in which the university happens to be. With different laws there are different rules and different outcomes.

Recently heads of the four major NCAA conferences met with Congress asking them to get involved by developing rules that would be uniform across all states and hopefully would bring internal equity among the many NIL programs. It would be a good thing if Congress would act, but they seem incapable of doing anything, much less something as trivial as regulating college sports. My guess is that we will do nothing about this problem until we have some disastrous consequence of our inaction.

I don’t think most of us have any problem with NCAA athletes being

paid for their participation. However, the payments are not insignificant. CU’s quarterback, and son of coach Dion Sanders, makes 3.8 million and is seen on campus driving a Rolls Royce. His team won just 4 of its 12 games and is in 12th place in their conference. Livvy Dunn, an attractive female LSU gymnast makes 3.2 million. Bronny James, son of NBA super star LeBron James makes 6.1 million playing basketball for USC. USC alumni are also paying Caleb Williams, their quarterback, 2.6 million. Rounding out the top five is Arch Manning, nephew of Peyton Manning at 2.9 million dollars.

So, its not just supplying a little “walking-around” money, they are professional athletes. Al Davis said it well: Just, win baby.

Tough audience

CONIFER – Wherever they go, Claude and Adelard take their simmering antipathy for each other with them. Just lately they’ve been hauling their mutual hostility along to local fire district meetings and, expecting more of the same, on Dec. 14 local fire officials asked a deputy to attend with an eye toward tempering the anticipated tempest. Sure enough, it wasn’t long before Claude hustled up to the officer claiming that Adelard “elbowed me in the hallway.” Moments later Adelard ran up with countercharges, saying that Claude “assaulted me and you need to arrest his ass.” Sifting through competing testimonies and conflicting witness accounts, the deputy started losing interest as an alleged “elbow bump” grew into a “full-on shove” and topped out as a “full shove into a wall.” In fact, the officer rejoined, he was not inclined to believe that anything illegal happened to either of them, but was absolutely positive they were both behaving abominably, what with Claude “antagonizing” and “interrupting” speakers at the meeting and Adelard conspicuously “smirking” at opposing opinions.

As to charges, the deputies said both men could go home with matching disorderly conduct citations, or they could cool their jets. Claude and Adelard elected to cool their jets.

Computer games

CONIFER – It didn’t take long for Daughter’s visit with Mom and Dad to turn contentious. On the morning of Dec. 14, Mom couldn’t locate one of her laptop computers and accused Daughter of hiding it in her room. Daughter told Mom she didn’t know or care where

Mom’s laptop was. Dad told Mom that she “probably misplaced it” and that it would turn up in good time. Not convinced, Mom tried to conduct a search of Daughter’s quarters. Daughter “blocked the doorway,” insisting that Mom had no right to enter. Mom called JCSO, asking deputies to inform Daughter that she has every right to enter Daughter’s room because Daughter is “not a tenant” but “merely a house guest.” Since nobody in the family wanted officers conducting further investigations inside the home, the case pretty much closed itself.

Chronic Bronc-itis

EVERGREEN – Terrified by constant and rising howls of anguish coming from next door, neighbors called 911 and begged somebody come at once and put a stop to what could only be bloody murder in progress. Deputies raced to the scene, finding a woman sitting on the front porch smoking a cigarette, her face a heart-breaking blend of rage and despair. Inside the home officers could hear the sounds of two men screaming insults and abuse, and a few moments later the pair came out onto the porch, hot wrath upon their knotted brows and curses still flowing from their lips like lava.

Deputies demanded to know the reason for such tumult. “We’re yelling at the Broncos,” the woman explained. Indeed, in the momentary peace that descended on the porch officers detected the television play-by-play going on in the living room where Denver was getting shellacked by Detroit. The three super-fans expressed remorse that their exertions on behalf of the home team had upset the neighbors, and apologized for SEE SHERIFF’S CALLS, P13

OBITUARIES SCHULTZ

Charlotte “Shally” (Charlotte Elizabeth Alderfer) Schultz December 27, 1942 - January 12, 2024

Charlotte “Shally” Schultz passed away at home with family by her side. For the past several years, Shally fought issues with her heart and infections from issues due to a prior surgery. Ultimately, sepsis was the final enemy that she was not able to conquer.

Shally was a fighter until the end and there was no stronger willed lady than her! She willed herself to live after going home with hospice help for the first time in June of 2021. With help from their wonderful caregiver, Gwen Crew, she and Wally were able to live in their Healdsburg home until her death.

Shally was born in Evergreen Colorado to parents, EJ and Arleta Alderfer. She was preceded in death by her older brother Edward Alderfer and survived by her younger brother Hank Alderfer. Shally grew up on the family ranch in Evergreen, now a State Park named Alderfer Three Sisters Park, where they raised foxes, grew wheat, had a logging company and boarded horses.

for 33 years. She team taught 1st and 2nd grades with her teaching partner, Sue Smith; the two of them would be teaching partners until she retired in 2002.

Shally and Wally moved to their home on Red Hill in 1971, located in her school district, which allowed the boys to attend the same elementary school, Valley Vista, that Shally taught at. They loved retreating to their weekend Lake Arrowhead home they bought in 2005, affectionately named “Charlotte’s Web”. A year later, they retired to Healdsburg, California following several of their friends from Southern California.

They enjoyed spending time with their numerous friends in Healdsburg and Napa; especially when wine was involved!

Shally is survived by her devoted husband of 58 years, Wallace McLean Schultz, who she met while attending Colorado College.

After graduating college, the two married at Hiwan Country Club in Evergreen and then bought their first home in Pomona, California. The two had identical twin boys, born in 1967. First born was Frederick “Rick” Schultz, married to Helen Vadnais Schultz and they had one son, Logan. Peter Thomas Schultz, born six minutes later, married Christine Kaelin Schultz with her children, Tiffany, Ryan and Justin. Shally was a caring and giving wife, mother and grandmother!

Throughout her life, Shally was always a teacher, one way or another, whether teaching her boys to cook or reading to elementary schools after retiring. While in Southern California, she and Wally were heavily involved with the nonprofit, OPARC, that supports, employs, and transforms the lives of people with disabilities; they utilized OPARC for their commercial property management company they founded, CityCom. After moving to Healdsburg, the two also volunteered with Meals on Wheels and Shally volunteered reading to students in the local elementary schools. She was also involved with the Garden Club of Healdsburg. Shally was a green thumb and loved her plants, especially violets, orchids and gardenias. She was also quick to help with any of Wally’s Healdsburg Rotary Club’s fundraisers or community projects.

Shally began her teaching career as a substitute after moving to CA. She landed her first full-time teaching position in the Central School District where she taught

Volunteers say community orchestras create more connected, well-rounded society

BY TAYLER SHAW TSHAW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

O

n a cold January night in a Wheat Ridge church, a large group of people traveled back in time to the 1800s — not by using new technology, but rather musical instruments.

Brows furrowed and fingers fluttered as the Jefferson Symphony Orchestra, made up of roughly 70 volunteer musicians, perform a composition from an 1800s opera, “Carmen.”

The community orchestra is one of many in the metro Denver region that offer people an opportunity to bring their musical talents and passions to life regardless of their profession, age or background.

Despite the time and work it takes to execute exceptional performances, volunteer musicians through-

out the metro region say the effort is worth it, highlighting the value of music for themselves and their communities.

Chris Loring, principal violist of the Jefferson Symphony Orchestra, said the orchestra brings together people who share the same passion that they’ve all had since first picking up their instruments.

“And now, here we are. We have this talent that we can share with each other, and that’s really fulfilling just to put it all together and be artistic and have fun,” she said. “It’s a great sense of community.”

In the southern metro region of Denver, the Littleton Symphony Orchestra shares a similar goal of upholding community, said Bill Mesa, an assistant principal percussionist in the symphony.

“With any community orchestra, they want to be a part of the commu-

nity,” Mesa said. “Not just in it.”

Compared to an organization like the Jefferson Symphony Orchestra, which dates back to the 1950s, a relatively newer community orchestra in the metro region is the Lone Tree Symphony Orchestra, founded in 2000.

Katie Smith, principal oboe of the Lone Tree symphony, underlined the importance of having an orchestra in any community, whether it be Jefferson County, Littleton or Lone Tree.

“Having arts organizations provides a more well-rounded community as a whole,” Smith said. “It creates a more pleasant community to live in when you have more opportunities for the arts.”

The start of lifelong musical careers

For both Loring and Smith, their musical careers started at a young age with playing the piano.

Loring, a 42-year-old pet photographer and private music teacher who lives in Jefferson County, said that in sixth grade, she joined the student orchestra.

Out of the roughly 25 students there, no one had signed up to play viola, a string instrument that is slightly larger than a violin and has a deeper sound. The teacher asked who in the room wanted to play viola, leading to an awkward silence, Loring recalled.

“This cute boy next to me grabbed my hand, raised it up in the air, and the rest is history,” she said. “From that point forward, I really fell in love with the instrument.”

She went on to the University of Northern Colorado and studied viola performance, and today, she helps teach young musicians.

“I love teaching for a couple of reasons. No. 1, I can have a hand in developing musicians that are going to come behind me,” Loring said. “These orchestras don’t fill up unless we have students that are learning and growing and developing a passion for something that some people might consider dorky or weird — but these kids are really, really excited about it.”

Smith, a 50-year-old Highlands Ranch resident who does project work with Cigna Healthcare as her day job, said her mom was a church musician.

“She started me on piano at 5 (years old) and then I apparently kept asking … what instrument I should play if I wanted to play in church,” Smith said. “She said, ‘Please play the oboe.’”

Playing the oboe, a woodwind instrument, as a young child would have been a tall task, Smith said, so she initially started by playing the flute. By the end of fifth grade, however, she started the oboe.

“I took to the oboe like a duck to water,” she said.

Smith got her undergraduate degree in music from the University of Denver, she said. Although she had always intended to be a professional musician, when she got into college, she was encouraged to double major “so that I would at least have something to eat,” she said with a laugh.

She got a minor in business and realized she did not want to pursue a professional music career, she said.

“I think since I don’t do it as my primary profession, I get more enjoyment out of it as an avocation than a vocation,” Smith said.

For Mesa, a 57-year-old Centennial resident, his music career started as a young boy playing drums on coffee cans that his mom discarded, he said. He recalled listening to his dad’s vinyl records that featured lots of

percussion, drawing him to the drums.

“The clincher is when I first saw ‘Star Wars,’ and the music just blew me away,” Mesa said.

“I thought, ‘Wow. Hear all those drums.’”

Eventually, he picked up drums through public schooling and performed through college.

However, he did not major in music performance.

Rather, he found an interest in accounting and is now an accounting professor at Metropolitan State University of Denver. Highlighting the ability of community orchestras to connect people, he said some of his former students will attend the Littleton Symphony Orchestra’s concerts and come up to him afterward to catch up.

“Those are all community factors. There doesn’t have to be anonymity,” he said about local performances.

Discovering community orchestras

From seeing an advertisement to getting a phone call about an opening, the process of getting involved in a community orchestra can look different for everyone.

Loring said she first learned about the Jefferson Symphony Orchestra when she moved to Golden around 2008, saying she saw an advertisement for it. She had been looking for an orchestra to join and had heard great things about it, she said.

“It’s been around for decades, and many of the people who play in this orchestra have been here for decades,” she said. “When I joined, this was known as one of … the premier orchestras in terms of community orchestras for this area.”

The orchestra, which musicians have to audition to get into, is made up of roughly 70 people ranging from college-age to post-retirement age, she said.

“It’s a really great orchestra full of some insanely talented musicians. We have played repertoire that you hear from the professional symphony,” she said.

Smith got involved in the Lone Tree Symphony Orchestra around 2006 after hearing about it through a friend. When she started playing with the orchestra, they performed in a church, she recalled. Now, they perform in the Lone Tree Arts Center, which she said is an amazing opportunity that not every community orchestra has.

She estimated roughly 60 musicians are in the orchestra, which requires an audition to join.

“We provide excellent entertainment for the community and it’s done in a manner where it isn’t haughty,” she said. “It’s presented in a way that people really feel encouraged to go and I think they really enjoy the opportunity and they enjoy the performance.”

Smith described making music with others in the symphony as both beautiful and challenging, especially if the musicians have different skill sets.

“You have to be patient,” she said.

Mesa got connected to the Littleton Symphony Orchestra when he got a phone call from the thenprincipal percussionist asking if he would be interested in filling in because the orchestra needed an extra person. Some time afterward, Mesa auditioned and became a regular member of the symphony about 17 years ago.

“It challenged me more. It upped my game and playing because the players in the orchestra are remarkable, high caliber,” he said. “You can get some exceptional performances from the community orchestras in the Denver metro area that you live by, and you’re supporting the community.”

The vision of the Littleton Symphony Orchestra, which is made up of about 50 musicians ranging in age from early 20s to upper 70s, is to provide performances that elevate the human spirit, Mesa said.

“We pursue that relentlessly, knowing it’s something we’ll never accomplish,” he said. “That’s what drew me into the orchestra.”

The value of music and community

Although volunteering in the symphony orchestra requires hours of practice and rehearsal, one of the most rewarding factors is making music with friends, Mesa said.

“There’s nothing quite like that type of effort when you have this number of people and when (a) performance pops and it sparks.

And you can feel that from the audience because there is some communication between the orchestra and the audience,” he said. “It’s the best. You can’t replace it.”

Community orchestras are valuable because they provide a music outlet for residents who may not have the budget to pay the higherpriced tickets to see a professional orchestra, Mesa said.

“Just give the orchestra a chance,” he said. “It’s fun, and it’s live music … something we’re, I think, missing nowadays.”

Smith said the Lone Tree Symphony Orchestra is fortunate because it has had the support of the city since the very beginning.

Similar to Mesa, Smith said being a part of any orchestra is a unique, special experience.

“I think the most rewarding part of any performance is knowing that you’ve provided not only (an) escape in what you’re doing and what you’re creating — you’re also creating an experience for somebody else,” Smith said.

“I think the most important thing for folks to know is that we’re here,” she added. “You don’t necessarily have to go downtown to hear the symphony.”

The most challenging part about being in a community orchestra is that the volunteer musicians have

busy lives, Loring said. Yet, the time and effort is worth it.

“As a musician, the thing that I love about working in a group like this and performing is that this is the only way we get to bring to life some of the art that’s been given to this world,” Loring said. “With classical music, we have composers who wrote these incredible manuscripts, and they wrote these ideas and these concepts and these stories in notes.

“And it’s up to us to translate that, and to create a story and to tell that through our music using our talents. And that, to me, is the coolest part,” she added.

Community orchestras are important to the local community for a number of reasons, Loring said.

One of them is that the orchestras provide activities for residents to enjoy. Another is the opportunity the orchestra provides to the volunteers, giving musicians a chance to continue to play their instrument when maybe they otherwise would not have.

“How many people stop playing because they don’t have those opportunities?” Loring said. “Orchestras, like the Jefferson Symphony Orchestra, give that to people. And that’s really, really important for the community.”

Nearly two feet of snow adds powder and opens lifts at Loveland Ski Area The Clear Creek County ski area was inundated with fresh snow over the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend

BY CHRIS KOEBERL CKOEBERL@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A mid-January snowstorm meant frigid temperatures and dangerous driving for Clear Creek County residents and tourists, but skiers and snowboarders are smiling, according to Loveland Ski Area Marketing Manager Dustin Schaefer.

“Skiing and snowboarding conditions are just amazing up here, lots of powder, lots of smiles, people are pretty stoked on the snow that just came in,” Schaefer said.

This after what Schaefer de-

scribed as a “slow start” to the season. More than 25 inches fell on the mountain in just 72 hours during the MLK holiday weekend, according to snow reports.

The additional snow allows Loveland Ski Area to make more of the mountain available to skiers and boarders.

“The season started out slow with snow, but this recent storm helped us out a ton. We opened up some of the steeps off of Chet’s Dream,” Schaefer said.

The ski patrol is currently working to open lifts four, eight, and nine in the coming days as snow and equipment allows, Schaefer said.

“It’s looking like it’s going to be a good season,” he added.

Loveland Ski Area will operate seven days a week, continuing through Closing Day in early May. Lifts will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays and from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekends and designated holidays.

CHSAA poised to adopt shot clock for 2026 school year

BY STEVE SMITH SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

AURORA - The Colorado High School Activities Association is ready for its boys and girls basketball teams to use a shot clock starting in the 2026-2027 season.

All that’s left is a vote by its legislative council to amend a basketball committee report and make the rule official.

The council meets Jan. 30, at the Douglas County School District Legacy Campus, 10035 S. Peoria St., Lone Tree. It’s the first of two decision-making meetings for the council this school year.

The association is following a rule put forth by the National Federation of High Schools in 2021. All lev-

els of boys and girls basketball will use a 35-second shot clock. According to the agenda, 27 state associations use a shot clock in some form or other.

Among the advantages are no more stalling, thus reducing the number of possessions in each game, and preparation for players to use a shot clock while playing college ball. The disadvantages are costs to financially strapped districts. The agenda packet pegged the price tag at between $2,500 and $5,000 during a time when school budgets are already tight. Another potential issue is associated costs to train and pay people to run the shot clock.

In other business

The council is expected to vote on a proposal to move up the beginning of the spring sports season by a week.

The main reason is longstanding.

Teams that qualify for state tournaments, particularly baseball, often play over the Memorial Day weekend, which causes problems for participants, schools and organizers in trying to find ways to host the events. It’s also a common weekend for high-school graduations.

One potential issue wouldn’t take place that often. The agenda packet said there will be one more week of so-called “crossover” time between the winter and spring seasons.

The council could add an extra week for football games this season. If approved, it would mean

the removal of a bylaw that allowed teams that hosted end-of-summer camps and that didn’t have a bye to schedule a contest within two weeks of the first day of practice.

Football practice is due to begin the week of Aug. 11 this year. The agenda packet said adding an extra week to play games will make it easier to schedule game officials.

It could also create one to two bye weeks during the season.

The committee could also act on a proposal to cap sub-varsity volleyball team’s number of matches at 23, not including regional and state tournaments. That schedule limit is already in place for varsity teams.

The down side, the agenda said, is SEE SHOT CLOCK, P15

extra costs for game officials and/or transportation.

In girls softball, there’s a proposal to eliminate the double-elimination regional brackets for both class 4A

r

and 5A teams.

“With several schools (4A and 5A) playing games on different days, different formats and/or same day, we have created an equity issue for our student-athletes,” the agenda said. Class 3A schools, such as Fort Lupton High School, use the same number of teams in the so-called round of 32, Two teams advance

from each regional to the state tournament.

The proposal would make the format consistent across all three classifications. Also, the agenda said, host schools that have just one field would not be able to host at their home site.

There is a financial impact, especially for schools that play on two

days.

“If we eliminate the two-day option, there will be less of a financial impact for all traveling schools.,” the agenda said “This also helps those schools who have to rent a complex to host their regional tournament.”

The proposal did not get a vote to move out of the association’s softball committee.

“Trust Us!” ###

Without public notices, the government wouldn’t have to say anything else.

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.

Notices are meant to be noticed.

Read your public notices and get involved!

SUPPORT LOCAL JOURNALISM

DON’T LET YOUR HOMETOWN NEWSPAPERS GO SILENT.

This year, even more than ever before, the news is in crisis.

More than 17,000 news media jobs were cut just by June, at national and local outlets including at some of the biggest names like NPR, The Texas Tribune and Gannett. In fact, newsroom layoffs are up 20% from last year. Some of these outlets laid off more than 10% of their staff in the last few months — even as we head into a critical election year.

These are devastating numbers. But all is not lost.

Many local and independent newsrooms continue to launch across the country. With your contributions and subscriber memberships, small newsrooms like ours continue to grow, adding new journalists and expanding reporting and investigations.

We’re committed to bringing the news to Coloradans. That’s because you deserve access to local, independent journalism that keeps you connected and informed — especially during challenging times. This is #newsCOneeds.
