  • Seniors holding U-pick afghan raffle

    The seniors at Green Ridge Meadow Apartments decided to hold an unusual afghan raffle to raise money for a get-together or an outing.
    There are five afghans, all crocheted in different designs and colors by Green Ridge resident Lynn Tucker, a gifted craftsperson.
    One of the afghans is a needlework sampler of sorts, consisting of about 30 unique squares all crocheted in a different stitch pattern and then sewn together. Tucker made the afghans out of scraps of yarn for virtually no cost.

  • EHS 4x800 relay runs off with 2nd

    LAKEWOOD — Maura O’Brien reminded Erin Dobey that it was a team race. So did Bryn Haebe and Sammy Skold. So while Dobey, an Evergreen junior, had the unenviable task of running the anchor leg of the Lady Cougars’ 4x800 meter relay team, her teammates were quick to acknowledge that it was a team effort.

  • Cougars’ Hamilton gives all he has

    LAKEWOOD —  Running 1,600 meters — a mile — is hard enough as it is. Running it while recovering from pneumonia is downright impossible. Jak Hamilton knows.

    Jason Hamburg knew something was amiss when the computer mouse he was using began to buzz and the walls of his office shook.

    Hamburg, a Jefferson County Open Space park ranger, was in his office near Elk Meadow in Evergreen on Monday afternoon when lightning from a fast-moving storm struck the metal building he was in and destroyed a nearby gasoline storage tank.

    “There was a flash-bang, and I backed away from the computer and the building shook,” he said. “The walls shook, and I was under the stairs.”

  • Late and large straggler: Pelican returns to Evergreen Lake

    Spring has been up to her fickle tricks again with a wet soggy snow last Wednesday, May 11, followed by an overcast day on Thursday, May 12. By late afternoon, she had apparently had enough of her sulking and cleared off to a partly blue sky and some very welcome sunshine.
    My friend Loie Evans had taken me into town for a doctor’s appointment, and as we were headed home up Bear Creek Canyon, she was telling me all the interesting migrants she had seen on Wednesday at Evergreen Lake in the snow. As she ended an amazing list, she added, “But no pelicans.”

  • Skold, Evergreen win league titles

    LAKEWOOD — Samantha Skold probably wouldn’t have ran the pace that she did if not for teammate Maura O’Brien being right there with her. As it turns out, O’Brien’s presence helped fuel Skold to a 4A Jeffco League championship in the 1,600 meters on May 14.
