A lot of events conspired to make Peter Jeans arguably one of the better coaches to be found this offseason for the Evergreen boys soccer team.

Having lived in Colorado for the past 11 years, eight of which in Evergreen, Jeans has taken his experience as a former player at national power Stanford to become a club coach with Rush and Stingers. A desire to have his Saturdays free so he could spend more time with his own children — and the desire to become a teacher — made taking the Evergreen coaching job pretty easy.

 The exact date of the meeting has not been decided.

The purpose of the $37,500 study is to define the cost and nature of a combination community center and arts center that Evergreen residents might be willing to support in Buchanan Park.

Center for the Arts Evergreen, which would like to see a new building in Buchanan Park, is contributing $12,500 for the study, and the district is paying $25,000.

After much discussion, the rec district decided in February to go forward with the study on a 3-2 vote.

She fills the vacancy created by the resignation of M.J. Menendez, who returned to the U.S. attorney’s office in Denver after two years on the bench.

Phillips worked as a civil lawyer for a private law firm for four years out of law school but since then has been in government.

“I’m really excited (about becoming a judge),” Phillips said. “I’m a law geek. I think it’s just fascinating. I tell my friends, and they can’t believe the things that happen in a courtroom.

Proposals are due Sept. 9 for this portion of a two-part study process on the recreation district.

The survey initially was conceived as part of the Buchanan Park Master Plan, which called for both a feasibility study and community needs analysis as part of the planning process for the development of Buchanan Park.

Although the district’s current board of directors is divided on the matter of building a combination community center/arts center, there was enough support to go forward with the two studies.
