Online sign-up required to speak...

Parents and community members who wish to speak during the public-comment portion of Jeffco school board meetings now must sign up online.

The change comes after the board’s Nov. 21 meeting, when newly elected board members Ken Witt, Julie Williams and John Newkirk announced their desire for the board and its meetings to be more accessible to parents.

It’s the latest in a series of changes, as meeting times have been moved from 6 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., and meeting locations have been moved to different high schools to increase community engagement.

Recall motivated only by politics

When state Sen. Evie Hudak threw in the towel and resigned her seat in the Colorado Senate rather than wait to see if enough signatures would be gathered to force a recall election against her, some recall proponents suggested she had cheated them out of an election. If their efforts were truly directed at removing her from office, shouldn’t they have been declaring victory?

2012-13 recap: Evergreen went 11-3 to finish in second place in the 4A Jeffco League behind D’Evelyn. “Last year, I thought, was a really good season.

The picture of better health

Under a sapphire-blue sky, a big red car hauls a newly cut Christmas tree — one that will benefit the kids at Children’s Hospital Colorado.

But it's not a real tree: 10-year-old Kaymen Story of Evergreen carefully drew and submitted it to the hospital's annual holiday card contest. Hers became one of 14 designs that won, and will now be sold throughout Colorado to benefit the hospital’s cancer and blood disorder centers.  

IMHS’ new shelter director...

Carrie David, the new shelter director for the Intermountain Humane Society, has not only been getting settled at her new organization, but also acclimatizing to mountain living.

“I had my first experience driving in the snow,” David said, referring to last week’s subzero temperatures and heavy snow. “I was going pretty slow and was probably irritating a lot of drivers here because I still have my Arizona plates on my car.”

Evergreen needs to live local,...

By Ron Isaacson
Evergreen is a town where people act to meet a challenge … head on! This year, we came together to support those who survived the flood, unforeseen disruption to their workplace or life.
We’ve come together to rally for a cause and pool our energies for the common good. Evergreen is such an amazing place that was just recognized nationally as one of the top five small towns in the country to retire in. It was praised as a place where residents have worked hard to make their dreams a reality and can ease back and enjoy the good life.

Group gathers to pray for new...

A small group gathered last Friday to pray for the three newest members of the Jeffco Board of Education.

Newly elected board members Julie Williams and Ken Witt received prayer from the eight people who attended. John Newkirk appeared briefly to thank everyone who showed up but left because of a scheduling conflict.

“We appreciate the faith community reaching out to us and inviting us here tonight,” Witt said. “We support our faith-based community, and we are a part of it.”
