Jeffco sheriff’s deputies are asking for residents’ assistance in their search for an Evergreen man who has been missing from his residence since June 14.

Ronald Kuetemeier, 57, was last seen at his home in Evergreen last Friday. His wife contacted the Sheriff’s Office to report him as a missing person the following day. 

Kuetemeier has worked in the IT field and is currently unemployed. He is believed to be on foot, as all of the family's vehicles are accounted for. He frequently runs on the trails in Elk Meadow, according to reports.

Brightly hued images of the West on china plates are the centerpiece of a fund-raising effort that the Center for the Arts Evergreen is coordinating.

For the third year, the china plates featuring art of area students are being auctioned during Weekend in the West, an annual art show and sale at Evergreen Fine Art. Funds raised from the plate sales will be donated to the arts center.

“We turn right around and the give the money to local teachers,” said Steve Sumner, CAE executive director.

Tim Shirley walked behind the stalls at the El Pinal Rodeo Arena, but he so desperately wanted to be part of the action instead of an innocent bystander at the 47th annual Evergreen Rodeo.
That’s been the case for two years running, however, since the 31-year-old Bailey resident broke the L5 vertebra in his back during a February 2012 rodeo event in San Antonio, Texas. He hasn’t ridden since.
