The park district board has decided to go forward with a proposed $150,000, bare-bones building in Buchanan Park that is more storage-oriented than office-oriented, at least for now, on the grounds that the district's needs may change in the future.

The initial concept for the building included three enclosed offices for park operations personnel, until board member Roger Hoaglund raised questions about the proposed office space, which he felt was unnecessary and could be located somewhere else.

Valentine’s Day 2000 will forever be burned into the memories of two South Jeffco families.

On that day, 15-year-old Nicholas Kunselman and 16-year-old Stephanie Hart were found murdered at a Subway sandwich shop on West Coal Mine Avenue near Columbine High School. More than nine years later, the case remains unsolved.

A new pretrial assessment program could make it possible for Jeffco judges to grant more defendants bail and dramatically reduce the population at the jail.

The program would restructure the way judges make decisions on granting bail, which could reduce the jail population by up to 300 inmates per day, Tom Giacinti, the county's justice services director, told the county commissioners May 26.

Winning never gets old. Roald Flater never seems to either.

Flater, 83, took home his fifth gold ball May 10 following a three-set victory to win the U.S. National Indoor Championship’s 80-and-up division in Vancouver, Wash.

“I was surprised,” the longtime Evergreen resident and member of the Colorado tennis hall of fame said. “Probably my best win I’ve ever had.”

And that’s saying a lot for a man that has quietly been making a racquet around the country and world for decades.
