  • Mission incredible

    After looking for the missing hiker in the deep woods for some 32 hours, the searchers had to admit that chances of finding the 74-year-old father and retired insurance executive alive appeared to be approaching zero.

  • Evergreen, Conifer land in Dem-leaning district

    Under the congressional redistricting map approved by a Denver district judge, Evergreen and Conifer would land in District 2, represented by Congressman Jared Polis, a liberal Democrat from Boulder.

    The mountain communities currently are part of District 6, which elected Republican Mike Coffman as its representative to Congress in 2008 and again in 2010.
