  • Connecting the dots: Middle segment of walking path under construction on Bergen Parkway

    After a three-year hiatus, construction finally has begun to fill in the longstanding gap over Troublesome Gulch on the Meadow Trail from Evergreen Middle School to Broadmoor Drive.

    The work is being funded through a $200,000 grant from Great Outdoors Colorado and Colorado State Trails under the auspices of North Evergreen Activity Trails, or NEAT.

    The trail will take pedestrians off the shoulders of Bergen Parkway, providing a 6-foot-wide concrete path on the east side of the two-lane road.

  • Autumn in the Colorado Rockies creeps up

    The first day of autumn has arrived and with it came our first really cold day, which made it really feel like autumn. I’m not happy to see the cold weather come, but at least it gives me a good excuse to have a fire in the fireplace in the evening. The aspen have reached their peak in the high country; they were beautiful at Echo Lake this week, but those in our valley are still green.

  • Turnovers, penalties slow down Evergreen

    LAKEWOOD — When you’re a young team such as the Evergreen Cougars, you can’t afford to make mistakes.

    The Cougars repeatedly shot themselves in the foot Sept. 25 in their 42-14 loss to Valor Christian at Trailblazer Stadium, and that bothered the coaching staff.

    “At this point in the season, you’d like to not be still making rookie mistakes,” Evergreen coach Rob Molholm said. “Against a good football team like (Valor Christian), you have to play mistake-free football and we didn’t do that.”

  • Cougars spiked

    Ashley Phelps didn’t know exactly what she was getting into Sept. 23. Cara Walderman knew, and she didn’t want to miss it for the world.

    Not Conifer vs. Evergreen. Not the one game all year when the volleyball teams play before a packed house.

    Phelps, a junior who missed last year’s tilt because of injury, and Walderman, a senior who was cleared to play minutes before the game, combined with devastating efficiency as the Lobos swept the Cougars in their own house.

  • Dog walkers object to changes in off-leash area

    Park authorities said the impromptu or “social” trails were leading animals onto the private property of adjacent homeowners, where dogs tend to do what dogs do.

    The dog park on Stagecoach Boulevard opposite the western entrance to Elk Meadow Open Space is one of the only such off-leash areas for miles and attracts visitors from Denver as well as Evergreen and Genesee.
