Moving to the hogback: Debate...

Each time a development pops up across South Jeffco, the debate begins again: What to do with the prairie dog colonies?

In the case of a colony located on the southwest corner of South Kipling Parkway and West Coal Mine Avenue, some Ken-Caryl residents feel they have the perfect solution. They hope to transfer the animals to the south hogback on a plot of land owned by the Ken-Caryl Ranch Metropolitan District.

Community turns out to meet...

Ten days into his tenure as Jeffco Public Schools’ new superintendent, Jason Glass hit the ground running July 10 with a whirlwind of hour-long community meetings across the entirety of Jeffco.

Aimed at giving the public an opportunity to meet Glass and ask questions town hall-style, the tour began at a Westminster Village Inn restaurant and wound down at The Wild Game in Evergreen.

Round One — A place for fun

The flash of colorful lights and persistent beat of popular music is enough to draw those walking through Southwest Plaza into Round One Entertainment.

But take a step inside, and the fun really begins.

Round One offers arcade games galore, as well as bowling, karaoke rooms, ping-pong, pool, darts and more. The amusement center has roots in Japan but opened in South Jeffco just over six months ago. The company, which has 17 locations in the United States, has plans to expand to 50 in total in the next five years.

Police chase on U.S. 285 leads...

A police chase led to a rollover accident that shut down southbound U.S. 285 for about an hour Monday afternoon.

Around noon, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office received reports of a Jeep Cherokee swerving and driving erratically in northbound traffic near Wagon Trail. A deputy began following the vehicle at South Turkey Creek Road, where the driver made an abrupt U-turn and began traveling southbound.

Black Bear Trail set to connect...

Construction has begun on a trail that will one day connect Deer Creek Canyon Park and Hildebrand Ranch Park.

Two weeks ago, the Board of County Commissioners approved a $213,892 contract with Arrowhead Trails Inc. to help construct the Black Bear Trail.

Former Morrison officer arrested...

A former Morrison police officer was arrested Tuesday afternoon after being indicted on 29 counts of theft, attempt to influence a public servant, embezzlement and forgery.

Between December 2010 and February 2016, Anthony Joiner, 38, is accused of stealing more than $132,000 from the Town of Morrison through a private fund he created called the “5280 Police Motors Memorial Fund,” according to a news release from the Jefferson County District Attorney’s office.

The top of the world: Morrison...

At the top of a mountain, gazing out at the vast wilderness below, there is a sense of stillness.

For many, there also is a rush of adrenaline, and maybe — for some — a bit of fear.

As Taylor VanAllen harnesses himself in, removes his shoes, balances on a 1-inch piece of webbing and takes his first step away from solid ground, he draws on these very feelings. Despite more than seven years of practice, the 26-year-old slackliner is not without fear.

Area near Deer Creek zoned for...

The Jeffco Board of County Commissioners unanimously approved rezoning areas near the Deer Creek Golf Course to allow for residential and commercial development, emphasizing that much of the current golf course will remain undeveloped open space.

The 90-acre area, which includes the golf course, is north and east of C-470 and southwest of the intersection of Shaffer Parkway and Chatfield Avenue.

New app set to benefit Colorado...

Colorado anglers soon will have a new resource to find fishing spots, learn state regulations and keep track of their personal progress. 

CPW Fishing, an app being developed by Littleton-based Crestone Digital, is set to launch in early August. It is the brainchild of Colorado Parks and Wildlife.

Date set for next year’s REVEL...

A date has been set for next year’s REVEL Rockies.

The half- and full-marathon races, which end in downtown Morrison, will be June 3 — a week earlier than in 2017. This is due, in part, because the IRONMAN event will be held in Boulder on June 10, and Colorado State Patrol will have a lot of its officers in Boulder for the triathlon.
