Coach of the year

Last summer, Steve Schimpeler had a clue of what was in store for the Chatfield Chargers’ boys basketball program for the 2012-13 season. But maybe even he wasn’t fully aware of just how special this team would truly be.

Dirty Dash is all about filthy...

The superhero team had become one with the mud.

Spider-Man, Batman, Iron Man and Wonder Woman were covered in muck as they crawled across the finish line. 

“I’m not Wonder Woman,” Amanda Carlson corrected as she pointed to her chest. “I’m Supergirl.”

Carlson’s Supergirl insignia was barely distinguishable because of the thick layer of ooze she had accumulated over the 5-kilometer course. Only her bright red boots somehow managed to maintain their luster. 

EDC seeks to ‘borrow’ county...

The Jeffco Economic Development Corp. has officially launched its $3.9 million Forward Jeffco initiative to bring more businesses to the county — and with it came another new pitch to the Jeffco commissioners for more support.

County enacts moratorium on pot...

Jeffco has decided to put the brakes on retail marijuana businesses in unincorporated areas of the county.

The county commissioners voted 3-0 to prohibit any retail marijuana businesses from setting up shop. The ban includes retail sales and growing operations, along with testing and packaging facilities.

Littleton council hires law firm

The search for Littleton’s new city attorney is over. 

The City Council reached an agreement with Ken Fellman from the law firm of Kissinger and Fellman to provide legal services for the city. Fellman will replace former city attorney Kirsten Crawford, who resigned in February. 

Council member Bruce Stahlman said he thought Kissinger and Fellman’s experience with both the public and private sector would serve the city well.

Littleton voters will be asked...

Voters in Littleton will decide in November whether the city may tax marijuana sales and hotel stays.

The City Council voted June 11 to put the two sales-tax proposals on the Nov. 5 ballot. It is considering asking voters to set the rates at 3 percent, but it will study the issues further to determine the final proposed tax rates. 

While the marijuana sales tax was put on the ballot by a unanimous vote, the proposed lodging tax was approved 4-3.
