Developer sues Elk Creek Fire Lawsuit wants to force the department to approve a Fire Service Expansion Agreement BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The developer trying to build a controversial housing development behind Conifer Safeway is asking a judge to compel the Elk Creek Fire Protection District to sign a Fire Service Expansion Agreement that would provide it with adequate equipment and personnel to provide fire and medical services to the property. The lawsuit, filed in district court in Jefferson County on May 6, says Elk Creek Fire negotiated the agreement with Foothills Housing 1, led Foothills to believe it would be approved, and then the district’s board denied it. On April 8, the Elk Creek Fire board voted 3-2 not to approve the agreement that would have allowed Foothills to spend about $3 million to buy the district a fire truck and pay part of the salaries for three additional firefighters. Those voting to approve the agreement said it would improve fire service for all residents in the district. Those who voted against said they felt the agreement would give the SEE LAWSUIT, P5

vendor booths, food, live music — and smiles everywhere. Part of what makes this event special is the Rhubarb Bake-off with the first-place winner crowned the king or queen of the festival, and the winners are lauded during a short parade that stops traffic on Highway 126 for less than 10 minutes. Rather than having the pancake breakfast because of COVID-19 concerns, organizers came up with the ingenious idea of selling pancake SEE RHUBARB, P16

Joining together for veterans MRC’s Veterans Rendezvous provides activities, resources BY GRACIELA A. FISCHER SPECIAL TO THE COURIER

Indian Hills overflowed with support for servicemen and servicewomen on June 12, when the Mountain Resource Center hosted its annual Veterans Rendezvous at Eudaimonia. The festive summertime event gave the mountain community a chance to celebrate and show support for those who fought for our freedom. Guests participated in a host of activities: water guns, bouncy slides and an indoor parkour course. For veterans, there were informational booths on resources, plus there was a COVID-19 vaccine clinic. Participants were happy that such a supportive community was available for local veterans, and while some attendees were veterans, others had veterans in their families and still others simply wanted to support those who served. This year’s rendezvous had a changed focus to make it more of a celebration. Previous events were held in conjunction with the 9Health Fair. Joe Steadman, the MRC’s veterans advocate, organized the event. Steadman, a veteran, asked his dad, Ron

A passion for the arts Celia Sladek named Arts Person of the Year BYDEBHURLEYBROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When Celia Sladek was looking for a way to meet people in Evergreen after she retired, she volunteered to join the Center for the Arts Evergreen board of directors. Little did she know that six years later, she would be named CAE’s 2021 Arts Person of the Year. The inscription on her gift of a painting by artist Cathy Jones said CAE was grateful for her support. “Your passion for the arts and bringing outreach opportunities to the

LAWSUIT FROM PAGE 1

Evergreen mountain area is unmatched,” it said. “Your passionate commitment to enrich the lives of all of us through the arts is an inspiration to the entire community.” When she received Celia Sladek the award at Day of the Arts, Sladek humbly said she knew of many others more deserving of the award than she was. “It was a group effort to make this happen,” she said. “To me, what’s been so special was all the friends I have made here. … It’s been a wonderful experience, and I’ve gotten more than I gave.” Lisa Nierenberg, CAE’s executive

director, explained that when staff and board members were deciding who the award should go to this year, they didn’t hesitate in naming Sladek for the honor. Sladek would be the first to tell you she has no background in the arts, but she does know how to write grant applications — a welcome skill for a nonprofit like CAE. Sladek, who has doctorates in physiology and biophysics, is a professor emeritus of physiology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, where she also served as the director of the Colorado Clinical and Translation Science Institute. “Celia is the constant cheerleader,” said Sara Miller, CAE’s senior director of exhibitions, education and marketing. “We are the beneficiaries of her

boundless love for the arts.” Celia’s husband of 51 years, John Sladek, called her amazing, noting that she is modest. “She really doesn’t want to talk about her accomplishments,” he said, adding that she’s also a great skier and cyclist. Celia’s time at CEA comes full circle — Jones persuaded her to join the board six years ago, and Jones created the landscape painting that is part of her award. Jones explained that they met on a bike ride from Idaho Springs to Georgetown, when Jones was looking for someone to join the CAE board as she was leaving. “She has been amazing,” Jones said. “Getting Arts Person of the Year is well deserved. She’s pretty special.”

Foothills Housing 1 is hoping to build 188 residential units on 47 acres. The development was originally called Conifer Commons and is now called Conifer Center. A vocal group of area residents is vehemently opposed to the development, and they have voiced their concerns to Jeffco Planning & Zoning and the county commissioners. The concerns are typical of those in the foothills who oppose large developments: water availability, wildfire evacuations, fire protection and the number of additional cars that would fill already congested roads, including U.S. 285. As of late last week, Elk Creek had not responded to the lawsuit.

rezoning application, Ware wrote a letter to Jefferson County Planning & Zoning stating: “The fire district would be ‘unable to protect’ the proposed development because the fire district lacks the funding mechanism, infrastructure, staffing, operational resources and specialized firefighting. apparatus to service the proposed higher density rezoning use. The fire district would recommend that the rezoning be denied at this time to allow further study of all the impacts of the proposed rezoning.” Subsequently, Foothills and Elk Creek Fire representatives began negotiations that resulted in the Fire Service Expansion Agreement. If the agreement was signed, the fire department’s objection to the development would be gone, and the developer could move forward with the rezon-

ing application. The lawsuit alleges that “despite previous agreements and promises, as well as what is fiscally responsible for Elk Creek, its Board of Directors has taken steps to thwart development plans of Foothills on the project. Specifically, … Elk Creek repudiated its prior agreement with Foothills and rejected the Fire Service Expansion Agreement.” Foothills also contends in the lawsuit that “Elk Creek’s efforts to become involved in land use planning … are beyond its statutory powers.” The lawsuit asks the court to order Elk Creek to sign the agreement and to pay “substantial, continuing and increasing damages resulting from Elk Creek’s repudiation and breach of its obligations to provide service to Foothills.”

In addition, they were unhappy with what one board member called a “gag order” that didn’t allow district officials to say anything negative about the development once the agreement was signed.

Residents want more evacuation-route mitigation Evergreen Fire ask to move money from building fund for that purpose BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

About 20 Evergreen residents have asked the Evergreen Fire/Rescue board of directors to back off on saving money to build a new Station 1 and divert it instead to evacuationroute mitigation work. Many at the June 9 fire board meeting said they would volunteer to help the fire department apply for grants to pay for the work, hoping the district could hire several local companies to expedite tree thinning and cutting, so residents can evacuate safely in case of a wildfire. They are gravely concerned about the results of the 2020 Community Wildfire Protection Plan, which states that most of Evergreen is considered at high, very high or extremely high risk for a catastrophic wildfire. It also says that most evacuation routes would be impassible in the event of a wildfire. Fire board members said after the public comment portion of the meeting that they see building a new Station 1 and wildfire-mitigation funding as two separate issues, and they want to create a working group to look at opportunities to do more mitigation in response to residents’ concerns.

“What I do see is our community has addressed what is a big concern,” board member Chuck Ridings said. “I want to give these people an answer of how we meet their needs and get a fire station.” EFR has budgeted almost $1 million in 2021 for wildfire mitigation work for a 10-member fuels crew, the district’s chipping program, equipment, grant writing and more. In contrast, it plans to put $750,000 from the 2021 budget into the Station 1 account. The district has spent $1.5 million for the land, and since 2017, it has saved about $4.5 million for the new Station 1, which will replace the station on Highway 73 near downtown Evergreen. In response to residents’ questions, EFR does not have a full-time grant writer who can look for opportunities to get the district more money for evacuation-route mitigation. Fire Chief Mike Weege reminded residents that the fire department doesn’t have the authority to mitigate properties owned by others including government entities. However, EFR has agreements with Jefferson and Clear Creek counties to do right-of-way mitigation, and it is working with Denver Mountain Parks, Jeffco Open Space and more to collaborate on wildfire-mitigation projects. According to Steve Durian, transportation and engineering director for Jefferson County, the rightsof-way on most of the evacuation routes are about 30 feet wide, when

Evergreen Fire/Rescue’s Station 1 will be replaced by 2024. Some Evergreen residents would like the EFR board to divert some of the money it is saving for the building to do PHOTO BY DEB HURLEY BROBST mitigation on evacuation routes.

the road itself is 24 feet wide. That means, EFR could cut trees on about three feet of land on each side of roads. Upper Bear Creek Road, for example, has a 30-foot right of way, Durian said, noting that each road is different, and some have 25-foot rights-of-ways, and on rare occasion, a right-of-way could be up to 40 feet. Weege noted that clearing the rights-of-way along roads to make them evacuation safe would require

property owners to do some clearing, too. There needs to be enough clearance so the tallest tree along a roadway could fall and not land on the roadway. Ridings said while it appears to some residents that EFR has done little mitigation work, it has done more in the last two years than ever before. “It’s never been more aggressive SEE EFR, P7

The Evergreen Fire/Rescue board gave Fire Chief Mike Weege the goahead to negotiate a contract with F+D International based in Boulder to design and build a new Station 1. The fire board has not approved spending money to build the new station. The station, which will be on the Evergreen Mountain Market property, is expected to cost about $8 million, and the district has been saving money since 2017 to buy the property and construct the building, which is expected to be completed in 2024. F+D International, an architecture and engineering firm, is designing and building two fire stations for Inter-Canyon Fire, and has designed fire stations in Craig, Meeker, Littleton, Lake Dillon and more. Fire board members said they hear the concerns of residents who want the department to spend more money on evacuation routes in case of wildfire, but they need to move forward with building a new Station 1. The district needs a new station for several reasons: • Jefferson County intends to widen Highway 73 starting as soon as late next year, which will make the area in front of the station too small for engines.

EFR

• Newer fire engines, which are taller than older models, will not fit through the doors of the current building. • The district wants to move the EMTs at Station 4, which is about a mile south of Station 1, to the new Station 1 and make Station 4 a hub for wildland firefighting equipment, trucks and personnel. Plans call for a 15,000- to 20,000-square-foot building with 11 vehicle bays, crew quarters, a kitchen, exercise room and meeting room. Fire Chief Mike Weege told the fire board on June 8 that 13 of the 26 companies that showed interest in the project submitted proposals. A committee of fire district representatives and two fire board members evaluated the proposals and narrowed the group to four. Those four made one-hour presentations with one-hour question-andanswer periods. Weege said three really stood out, so the committee visited fire stations each had designed, and talked to fire officials in those departments about the design and construction process. The committee had follow-up questions for the three and then narrowed the field to two. After a long discussion, Weege said, the committee settled on F+D. “I don’t know how you could have been more thorough,” fire board member John Anderson said.

on our part to get that done,” he said. “It’s in our strategic plan for the next five years.” Residents at the meeting wanted more money used specifically for evacuation-route mitigation. “I believe if we can carve out $2 million from the existing resources I’m told are available to the Evergreen Fire Protection District, we can pursue grants so we don’t miss out on those dollars,” said David Chapman, who spoke on behalf of residents at the meeting. “… What we need is for Evergreen Fire/Res-

Evacuation-route concerns Resident Ken Fricke asked the board to find a way to begin roadside mitigation. “I don’t think it’s currently in your budget,” he said. “If it’s not, it ought to be. I would urge you to find a way to begin the roadside evacuation work … and continue mitigation until it’s done. If you don’t get grant money, find more money in your existing accounts to keep it going.” “The board is dedicated to safety SEE EFR, P15

VOICES

Living with Wildfire: Fuel reduction around your home Wildfire has always played a prominent role in the environment of Colorado. Long before houses, towns and subdivisions were established across the landscape, fires were a natural result of the frequent summer thunderstorms and lightning that traveled across the region. However, nearly a century of fire suppression has resulted in a buildup of fuel loads, creating conditions that have the potential to create catastrophic wildfires. Within this natural fire environment there are individual homes and entire communities. Many existing homes may be unable to survive an intense wildfire. Since it is not a question of “if” wildfires will occur but “when” they will occur across the Front Range, the likelihood of human life and property loss is great and growing. Our ability to live safely in this fire environment depends on pre-fire preparation. These are actions taken before a wildfire occurs that improve the survivability of human lives and homes. It is important to remember that there are no guarantees when wildfires meet extreme conditions and firefighting resources may be limited. Multiple Large Fires in the Area or State Impact Resources Many people assume that when a wildfire starts, it will be quickly controlled and extinguished. This is an accurate assumption in the vast majority of fires. For most wildfires, firefighters have the resources, equipment, and technology for effective fire suppression. Some wildfires burn so intensely and expand so

rapidly that there is little firefighters can do. Even airtankers and helicopters, if available, cannot be expected to save every home in these fires. Fuel reduction around your home can reduce risks to your home and increase firefighter safety. Your house is more likely to withstand a wildfire if grasses, brush, trees, and other natural and manmade fuels are managed to reduce a fire’s intensity. The Home Ignition Zone refers to the home itself and the immediate surrounding 30 to 200 feet. Survivable space is the modification of landscape design, fuels, and building materials around your home to make an ignition caused by wildfire unlikely, even without direct firefighter intervention. Create a survivable space around your structures by removing, reducing, relocating, and replacing fuels and vegetation to slow the spread of wildfire. Include detached garages, storage buildings, barns, and other structures in your plan. Survivable space involves developing a series of management zones in which different treatments are used. Zone round your Home This is the area of maximum modification and treatment. It consists of an area of at least 30 feet around the structure in which flammable materials and vegetation are removed and replaced with nonflammable decking or decorative stone and well-placed fire-resistant plants and groundcover. This distance is measured from the outside edge of the home’s eaves and any attached structures, such as decks

or stairways. • Trees here are considered part of the structure, the fewer the better, and are at least 10 feet from the structure. • Remove “ladder fuels” from beneath trees. • Keep plantings within 3 to 5 feet of the walls to a minimum, especially if structure sides are flammable. Decorative gravel, flagstone or concrete decking is recommended in this area. • Dry grass next to flammable structural components can easily ignite and carry fire that may cause a home ignition. • Do not stack firewood or store other combustibles in this zone. • Remove branches overhanging or touching the roof to a distance of a least 10 feet. Remove all branches within 15 feet of the chimney. Moderate Fuel Reduction Zone The size of the zone depends on the slope of the ground where the structure is built. Typically, survivable space should extend at least 100 feet from the structure. Within this zone, the continuity and arrangement of vegetation is modified. Remove stressed, diseased, dead or dying trees, and shrubs. Thin and prune the remaining larger trees and shrubs. Be sure to extend thinning along either side of the driveway all the way to the main access road as this will assist with safe passage for you during an evacuation and for firefighters to access your home. These actions help eliminate continuous fuel surrounding a structure while enhancing

fire safety and the aesthetics of the property. • Thin trees and shrubs at least 10 feet between crowns, more if on a steep slope. • Prune under large trees to a height of 10 feet. Remove ladder fuels from under trees. • Locate propane tanks at least 30 feet from any structures, preferably on the same elevation as the house. Keep flammable vegetation at least 10 feet away from these tanks. Do not screen with shrubs or vegetation. • Stack firewood and woodpiles at least 30 feet away and uphill from structure. Keep flammable vegetation at least 10 feet from woodpiles. • Dispose of slash (limbs, branches and other woody debris) removed from your trees and shrubs by chipping or by piling and burning with an appropriate permit. The Extended Zone is the area greater than 100 feet from the home. Space and prune trees and vegetation to keep flames smaller, lower to the ground, and to interrupt fire’s path. Fire is a natural part of our Colorado ecosystem. It is not a matter of if we are going to have wildfires, but when we will have wildfires and at what intensity. Homeowners must assume a major role in wildfire protection by taking action to reduce the ignitability of their homes before the threat of a wildfire. Daniel Hatlestad is the battalion chief for the Inter-Canyon Fire Protection District.

Urgent: Slow down to control hurry sickness Do you count the cars in front of you and always move to the line that seems to go faster? Do you check out the items in grocery carts ahead of you and calculate which checkout lane will move faster? Do you chronically feel short on time and try to accomplish every task faster, only to get irritated with any kind of delay? If so, then you – as I do – might have hurry sickness. Yes, hurry sickness is a real thing. However, hurry sickness, sometimes called excessive time urgency, is not disorder or a diagnosis, and it’s not an actual medical or mental health condition. But it is a compulsion I often have trouble managing. By definition, hurry sickness is “a behavior pattern characterized by continual rushing and anxiousness and an overwhelming, persistent sense of urgency – even when there’s no need to be moving so fast.”

I experience hurry sickness in pretty much every aspect of my life. At work, hurry sickness takes the form of multi-tasking, which is probably doing more harm than good. Stanford University research found Andrea Doray that people who are “regularly bombarded with several streams of electronic information cannot pay attention, recall information, or switch from one job to another as well as those who complete one task at a time.” Hmmm … I often have trouble differentiating between when the urgency is real – such as getting to the airport to catch a flight – and when it isn’t. Even small, everyday things such as shopping, eating or (especially) driving feel like a race to me. And sometimes, focusing on just

ALCHEMY

one thing can feel almost unbearable. In fact, I have an actual list called “things to do while doing something else.” This might look like playing solitaire on my phone while eating lunch or sorting and deleting photos while binge-watching episodes of “House.” There’s no telling what I’ll squeeze in while waiting on something in microwave! I’ve been driven by extreme time urgency for most of my adult life … I feel perpetually behind schedule, and there never seem to be enough hours in a day to accomplish what I need to do. Often, no matter how much I do get done, I feel as though as I’m playing catch-up. Fortunately, there’s lots (and lots) of advice for getting hurry sickness – and its resultant anxiety — under control. I’ve selected a few here that I’m going to work on: Wake up with enough time to enjoy a cup a coffee before I start work. I log on in the early a.m. to connect with colleagues across multiple time

zones, so allowing for time between bolting out of bed and booting up the computer sounds like a better way to start the morning. Practice mindfulness, even if it’s just a few breaths to help me focus on what’s going on in the moment, such as navigating the interstate, participating in a conference call, or simply watering my flowers. Embrace self-care … sleep, hydration, nutrition, relaxation and exercise. All I can say here is that I’m trying. But perhaps the most important remedy for the pressure and angst of my hurry sickness to make sure my friendships and relationships a priority. I am most nourished when I connect with the people I love and admire, and I’ve missed you.

Sheriff’s Calls Open house CONIFER — When her drywall guy called on the morning of May 17 to say her garage and front door were standing wide open, she called JCSO to report a possible burglary. She bought the house a few months back, she told deputies, and a steady parade of contractors has been renovating the place ever since. But all of them know better than to leave the place unsecured, she said, and she herself had been the last to leave and had watched the garage door close behind her. A thorough inventory of the residence turned up nothing damaged or missing, leading officers to believe that, if a crime had been committed, it wasn’t theft. Much relieved, she explained her anxiety by saying that the home’s “previous owners” had operated a “marijuana grow” out of the garage, and she was afraid that cannabis craving clients might have been hunting for backorder bud. Deputies told her they were closing the case, and she told deputies she was changing the locks. Err apparel EL RANCHO – It probably wasn’t smart to make th several sly laps around the sales floor with a cart full of merchandise without making any attempt to pay for them. And

it certainly didn’t help that he was wearing a neon-yellow “safety vest.” Whatever tipped them off, though, store security personnel were watching when he bolted out the front door and went “skating down the hill with a cart.” Deputies were advised to be on the lookout for a fellow in a “Colorado” fleece hoodie toting “two TV sound bars and a printer.” Officers first located the safety vest on the ground near Hotel Way. They next located the Colorado hoodie at a nearby convenience with the suspect still inside it. While no printer was in evidence, deputies did catch him cold with two stolen TV sound bars and, as it turned out, one hot Colorado fleece hoodie.

that landscaping catastrophe, somebody swiped the white wicker sofa off of her front porch and made off with the carved wooden bear she used to admire while relaxing of a sunny afternoon on the white wicker sofa. She didn’t report the incidents at first because she “loves” her neighbors and has no enemies “that I know of,” but finally decided to let JCSO in on the situation in case the gremlins weren’t done with her. Deputies instituted extra patrols of the neighborhood and suggested she install motion-activated floodlights to discourage further weirdness.

Now you know EVERGREEN – The bear was the last straw. “Weird things” had been going on lately, she told deputies, and about two weeks earlier she’d awoken to find a “white liquid substance” poured all over her lawn and attendant flower beds in a seemingly random pattern. She had no idea what the substance was, but it was certainly lethal to plant life because there were now haphazard lines of dead grass drawn about the yard and her flower beds were bloomless and barren. Then, just as she was getting her head around

She ain’t heavy… EVERGREEN – “It freaked me out,” she testified to deputies on the afternoon of May 20. Blithely hiking up the Bergen Peak Trail, she’d discerned “in the distance” ahead a “person carrying a blonde female with a sky blue shirt over their shoulder.” The image played over and over in her mind as she raced back down to the trailhead, and by the time she reached her car she’d decided to share the singular sighting with JCSO deputies. Officers weren’t sure what to make of the remarkable report, but decided to share it with Open Space personnel just in case.

Evergreen girls soccer completes perfect 10-0 regular season BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LAKEWOOD — Winning the Class 4A girls soccer state championship isn’t going to be easy, but after Evergreen swept through the tough 4A Jeffco League this spring the task of taking state is clearly within reach. “It’s really gratifying,” said Evergreen coach Peter Jeans on June 9 after the Cougars defeated Wheat Ridge 2-1 at Lakewood Memorial Field. “The girls really had to focus each game. You can’t let down in this league. There are a lot of very challenging teams and they beat them all. That is very hard to do.” Evergreen — No. 2 seed for the 4A state tournament that begins Wednesday, June 16 — completed a 9-0 record in the deepest conference in 4A. The Cougars outscored their opponents 49-4 this season, that includes a forfeit victory over Alameda International. “You hope it helps,” Jeans said of the conference gauntlet the Cougars went through that included 1-goals wins over Golden, D’Evelyn and Wheat Ridge. “The mental toughness and we’ve seen a lot of adversity.” Evergreen dominated possession early against Wheat Ridge (7-3, 6-3). The Cougars put in their first goal off a corner kick from senior Jocelin Zimmerer in the 17th minute. Freshman Brooke Gimbel was able to get her head on the corner kick from Zimmerer for the opening goal. The Cougars extended the lead to 2-0 in the 49th minute with junior Elizabeth Rapp feathering a shot over Wheat Ridge junior goalie Ariel Martin. “I just wanted to put on in,” Rapp said of her goal. “I saw the goalie was way off her line so I chipped it in.” Wheat Ridge did make the final minutes interesting. A low hard shot from senior Jessica Brummett found the back of the net for her 12th goal of the season in the 77th minute to make it a 2-1 game. However, Evergreen was able to hold on to the victory and end the hopes of the Farmers on making the

Evergreen’s girls soccer team poses with the Class 4A Jeffco League plaque after the Cougars completed a 9-0 conference record. Evergreen grabbed the No. 2 seed for the 16-team 4A state tournament and was scheduled to host No. 15 Northfield in the opening PHOTOS BY DENNIS PLEUSS/JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS round Wednesday, June 16.

postseason. Wheat Ridge dropped it last three conference games to Golden, D’Evelyn and Evergreen. “I think that actually focused us

more,” Rapp said of the Cougars having already wrapped up the conference title heading into the league finale against Wheat Ridge. “We want to go into the playoffs 10-0 to make a statement that we are here to win it all.” Golden (8-1-1, 7-1-1) grabbed the other automatic bid out of 4A Jeffco for the 16-team state tournament. The Demons will travel to Pueblo to face No. 6 Pueblo Centennial on Wednesday in the first round. Evergreen has come close to winning a state title over the past five years. The Cougars were 4A state runner-up in 2017 and 2019. League rival D’Evelyn edged Evergreen 1-0 four years ago at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. Two years ago Cheyenne Mountain defeated the Cougars 2-1 in the title game. “They know they did a lot right that year, but they also came up one goal short,” Jeans said of the 2019 state tournament run. “Obviously they are motivated for that not to happen again.”

The three top scorers — senior Myla Stewart, Catherine Rapp and Elizabeth Rapp — from the 2019 team are the three top goal scorers for the Cougars this year. Evergreen hosts No. 15 Northfield on Wednesday at Evergreen High School. “I think that will be key,” Elizabeth Rapp said of the playoff experience from two years ago. “We have become so close as a team. We were really young as freshmen two years ago.” Confidence is definitely high for the Cougars heading into the postseason. “We relish being No. 1 because we deserve that,” Elizabeth Rapp said. “We want teams to know that they have to come out strong against us to take us out of the playoffs.” Dennis Pleuss is the Sports Information Director for Jeffco Public Schools.

Conifer girls see success against Skyview High BY GRACIELA A. FISCHER SPECIAL TO THE COURIER

The Conifer High School girls soccer team had a doubly successful night on June 11 when it beat Skyview High School 5-3 in nonconference play and had its Senior Night. The team honored three seniors: Willa Bowen, Abby Putz and Isabella Namaksy plus it acknowledged last year’s seniors, who were robbed of their Senior Night last year thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic. “I was pretty klutzy and didn’t know how to really play when I started (as a freshman),” Putz said of her four years on the team. “But

through coaching and just having a great team, I learned how to play and how to just get better.” The Lobos finished the season on June 11 with a 7-0 loss to Green Mountain, bringing the team’s season record to 3-7 overall and 2-7 in conference play. The June 11 game was hard-fought with Bowen and sophomore Josie SEE CHS SOCCER, P12

Evergreen girls lacrosse wins 7th in a row to claim league crown lead in the first 10 minutes into the second half. “It was a big goal of our’s today to have a strong second half. We have been flat the last couple of games,” Sanford said. “We had lot of people come up big and we did great on the draws.” Senior Margo Miller, along with sophomores Bella Reece and Gardner combined for all 13 of Evergreen’s goals. “It was huge,” Miller said after her 6-goal performance to lead the Cougars. “I’m a senior and I’ve never won league. I wouldn’t have wanted to do this with any other team. Everyone came together this year.” Evergreen’s defense was solid in front of Evergreen senior goalie Lauren Spence. Green Mountain junior Shea Murphy led a comeback attempt for the Rams in the final 8 minutes. Murphy scored a teamhigh 5 goals to get Green Mountain as close as 10-7 with 3:31 left. However, Miller and Gardner scored three straight goals in the final minutes to get the lead back to a comfortable margin. “She (Miller) is a tremendous player and leader,” Sanford said.

LAKEWOOD — Evergreen’s girls lacrosse team remained as hot as the artificial turf field at Trailblazer Stadium late afternoon June 10. The Cougars — No. 2 in the CHSAANow.com Class 4A girls lacrosse rankings — won their seventh straight game with a 13-8 victory over rival Green Mountain. Evergreen (7-2, 5-0 in 4A West League) also wrapped up the conference title with the league win over the No. 5 Rams (7-3, 3-2). “It’s really special. We’ve had a great season,” Evergreen coach Rachel Sanford said of the undefeated league record. “We’ve faced some top competition in our league, so we are happy with the success.” Green Mountain could have created a three-way tie for the conference title with a win over Evergreen. The Rams held a 4-3 lead late in the first half, but Evergreen sophomore Averi Gardner scored with 55 seconds left before halftime to gain some momentum. The Cougars preceded to score 5 unanswered goals to take a 8-4

For junior Kate Thurman, this season was her first in five years.

Evergreen has one more nonleague game at Arapahoe on Tuesday, June 15, before the Cougars find out where they will be seeded for the 12-team state tournament. Evergreen should get a very high seed. The Cougars were No. 5 in the RPI standings before the victory against Green Mountain. “We are looking forward to hosting,” Sanford said of the postseason. “It’s going to be fierce. We are looking forward to competing and playing our best.” Evergreen’s boys lacrosse team

also went undefeated winning the first league title in the program’s history this Spring 2021 season. “The guys are having a great season too,” Miller said. “It would be pretty cool for both of us to go really far in the playoffs.” Green Mountain could also make history if it earns the program’s first playoff bid. The Rams were No. 8 in RPI before the loss to Evergreen. First-round playoff games are scheduled for Thursday, June 17, after brackets are released Wednesday, June 16.

and evacuation,” Ridings said. “Your concerns are not falling on deaf ears.” Resident Jean Lancaster asked the board why the fire district can’t hold off on Station 1 and use that money for fire mitigation. “I don’t understand why there aren’t more tax dollars going to a large overall plan to evacuate Evergreen. … We want to address money

going to the fire station, my money and my neighbors’ money. We would like you to spend it a bit differently.” Weege explained that wildfire mitigation grants take a lot of planning because the application must include specific projects. Chapman suggested that because unsurvivable evacuation routes were a safety threat, maybe that angle could be leveraged to get additional funding.

Some suggested a speaker’s bureau to send people to various groups to educate residents. “Evacuation starts with you,” Weege said. “You need to prepare to evacuate, have mitigation done, work with your neighbors so you can all get out of your neighborhood. Those types of preplanning will help you get out quicker ahead of that CodeRED (emergency notification call) that tells you that you need to start packing up to get moving.” Board member John Anderson assured residents that the fire district

kits that included pancake mix and the traditional rhubarb syrup that has been a staple of the event. This summer celebration is a fundraiser for the Pine-Elk Creek Improvement Association, which pays for area improvement projects, and a portion of the proceeds goes to the North Fork Volunteer Fire Department. The event at North Fork Fire Station 2 had happy attendees greeting friends, neighbors and strangers. Dori Warner had a booth to sell her crafts, saying she was thrilled to be outside and talking with visitors

after a pandemic year. “A lot of people (here) feel that way, too,” she added as she watched hundreds of people perusing the booths that carried crafts, clothing, soaps, jewelry and more as the band Faux Paux played. Six-year-old Parker Duncan of Evergreen gave a high-five to Smokey Bear and posed for pictures at the U.S. Forest Service booth as his family attended the Rhubarb Festival for the first time. Visitors gathered for the unveiling of the Rhubarb Bake-off winners. Sara Narum of Morrison took third place for “Rose’s Rhubarb Strawberry Jam,” noting that she made it in honor of her Grandma Rose, and the rhubarb was from her grandma’s garden.

Cindy Busch of Westminster took second place for her “Mac-R-Rhu,” and she was happy the festival had returned after a one-year hiatus. “We’ve been waiting for this moment for two years,” she added. This year’s winner — sporting her special crown, the rhubarb scepter and the Rhubarb Festival apron — was Christine Kleinbeck of Conifer who won for her “Rhubarb Dessert.” The three winners led a short parade in a cart pulled by a tractor driven by longtime Rhubarb Festival organizer Bob McIlvaine. Following the winners were several classic cars, a cart pulled by a donkey, a motorcycle and several North Fork firetrucks. Patty McIlvaine stood along the

parade route with many other well-wishers, waving at the parade participants. Also a longtime festival organizer, she baked rhubarb mini-pies and set up the logistics so PECIA could take credit cards. “This is great,” she said. “It’s great to see people. I’m so glad we did it, so we could get the community back together.” Friends Kelly Wiley of Denver and Lucky Wake of Broomfield managed to get a taste of some of the 13 bakeoff entries, with Wiley enjoying the rhubarb cobbler she tasted. It was Wiley’s first time at the Rhubarb Festival, and she was delighted with how nice everyone was — locals and nonlocals alike. “We are all Pine Grove locals today,” she said.

NOTICE CLEAR CREEK COUNTY BOARD OF EQUALIZATION

The Clear Creek Board of County Commissioners will be reviewing property values determined by the County Assessor. Beginning July 6 through August 5, 2021 the Commissioners will sit as the County Board of Equalization (CBOE) to hear appeals from taxpayers who are dissatisfied with their property valuation.

In the first step of the appeals process, property owners filed objections to the valuations set by the Assessor with the Assessor=s Office. Only those who properly filed objections with the Assessor and were dissatisfied with the Assessor’s determination may petition the CBOE for a hearing. Hearings with the County Board of Equalization may be requested by submitting a written appeal to the Board of Equalization on the form provided by the County Assessor. To preserve your right to appeal, your appeal must be postmarked or delivered to the Board of Commissioners Office at the courthouse on or before close of business July 15, 2021 for real property. For personal property, the dates are July 10, 2021 and end at the close of business July 20, 2021.

Kappy Kling of Hearthfire Books and Treats Wins Rotary’s 2021 ‘Ethics in Business’ Award The award comes with a $500 prize to donate to the charity of her choice Resilience1220. In 2009 the Rotary Club of Evergreen awarded its first annual ‘Ethics in Business Award’. Each year since, Rotary Club members nominate businesses and business professionals they believe comply with Rotary International’s Four-way Test, as follows: OF THE THINGS WE THINK, SAY OR DO: 1. Is it the truth? 2. Is it fair to all concerned? 3. Will it build goodwill and better friendships? HearthFire Supports Local Authors

4. Will it be beneficial to all concerned? Nominees can be both Rotary club members and non-club members. Kappy Kling purchased HearthFire in 2010 and has engineered a variety of changes over the years to meet our community requests. A key component to the store’s success is engagement at the local level - both personally and from the store itself. Hearthfire supports our mountain area schools in multiple ways, has hosted events for fantastic organizations such as Mountain Youth Musicals and Resilience1220. Hearthfire supports local authors, artists and book clubs, was a founding

Davis Linden - Committee Chair, Kappy Kling - Hearthfire’s owner with her award, and Russ Hammond – Evergreen Rotary Club President

member of the Rocky Mountain Literary Festival, and generally supports local nonprofits based upon their unique requests. Personally, Kappy has also been involved in Leadership Evergreen, EHS Education Foundation, and will be welcoming an Exchange Student next year. She practices what she believes in, which is Shopping Local. Kappy’s motivation and inspiration for striving to do the right thing is first and foremost her daughter, Katie, the youth in our mountain town and the educators

that support them, and the wonderful unique individuals which make our community so special. HearthFire Books and Treats Bergen Village Shopping Center 303-670-4549 Kappy with daughter, Katie HearthFire BooksandTreats.com info@HearthFireBooksandTreats.com
