  • 3 Republicans in the race in Evergreen’s new congressional district

    Congressional redistricting after the 2010 census has changed many a political landscape, and Colorado’s 2nd Congressional District — which now includes Evergreen and Conifer — is a prime example.

    Incumbent Jared Polis, a Democrat, is defending his seat in a district that formerly had liberal Boulder as its epicenter, but has shifted noticeably to the right with the addition of areas in Jefferson, Larimer and Summit counties. Evergreen and Conifer previously were in CD6, represented by Republican Mike Coffman.

    Every election cycle, candidates come along with slick new ideas for reforming government. But one of the best ideas has been around for centuries: “Govern a great nation,” wrote the Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu, “as you would cook a small fish — do not overdo it.”

  • Mountain bluebirds already seen at Three Sisters

    The weather has been surprisingly spring-like this past week. However, driving by the lake, I noticed very little change. It remains frozen shore to shore. The first sign of ice breakup is usually the appearance of a larger and larger amount of open water at the inlet.
