This year is gravy for the Front Range Christian golf team.

As a second-year program, the Falcons are probably not on anyone’s radar, especially following the addition of Class 3A to the golf scene. So while the state is talking about the “country clubs” at Kent Denver and Colorado Academy, they just might be talking about Min Kyu Jeon come October.

Jeon, a junior from South Korea, will lead the senior-less Falcons for the next two seasons as they prepare to move into uncharted territory.

One powerhouse exits, another enters.

With Wheat Ridge making the move down to Class 4A from 5A, things appeared to get a little easier for those remaining teams in the Jefferson County League.

Not so fast.

While the Farmers, perennial state title contenders, will no longer have to be dealt with, a newcomer has moved onto the block and is already commanding respect.

The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office has lifted fire restrictions for the county effective at 3 p.m. on Aug. 18.

Recent rainfall and cooler temperatures have reduced the danger of wildfire. However, people are encouraged to be vigilant, as the danger of fire is always present in the high country.

Be careful what you wish for! For as long as I can remember, Coloradans of all political persuasions have lamented the fact that we weren’t players in presidential politics. We weren’t players in the nominating process because of our timing and relatively few delegates. We weren’t players in general elections because we were such a lock for the Republican nominee. A Democrat hasn’t had the majority of presidential votes in Colorado since I started voting.
