Celebration for Woodland Park softball duo who signed letters of intent
By Danny [email protected]
There was a party Feb. 3 in the Wood-land Park High School library when Chrissy Cunningham and Hayley Corbiere signed
national letters-of-intent to play college ball.
They inked their deals in front of about 75 happy classmates, teachers, coaches, and family members.
Cunningham chose Trinidad State Ju-nior College, while Corbiere signed with Lamar Community College.
“I was supposed to sign the day after my birthday (Jan. 15), but I didn’t want to do it
at home; I really wanted it to be something kind of special,” Corbiere said with a smile. “I wanted to show other people I’ve made it. I’m here.
“I knew my coaches would be here. My friends would be here. Chrissy would be here. So I guess I just wanted to be in front of people.”
Corbiere was a leadoff hitter and played fi rst base for the Panthers last season. She
batted .500 (37 for 74) with a team-leading 37 hits (tied with Cunningham), runs (39, tied with Cunningham) and home runs (4). She also had 22 RBIs.
“As a lead-off hitter, to have 22 RBI’s is pretty impressive,” Woodland Park coach Dale Huntington said about Corbiere. “Hayley was always consistent. She always got base hits. If there were runners in scor

Ute Pass hiking enthusiasts received good news when Gov. John Hickenlooper recently announced he had included a missing section of the 62-mile Ring the Peak Trail on a list of 16 trails he wants com-pleted in 2016.
Ring the Peak stretches around Pikes Peak and includes two unfi nished seg-ments – an eight-mile portion near Cripple Creek and Divide and an 11-mile section of the Ute Pass Regional Trail, which runs from Manitou Springs to the El Paso Coun-ty-Teller County line.
Hickenlooper wants to fi nish the 11-mile stretch up Ute Pass this year. It’s part of his “Colorado the Beautiful” initiative to create a state where everyone lives within 10 min-utes of a park, trail, or vibrant green space.
“We’ve identifi ed projects that will help us fulfi ll the vision of ‘Colorado the Beauti-
ful’ and create the kinds of connections that link us to the natural splendor that sets our state apart,” said Hickenlooper on Jan. 20 in a news release announcing his list.
Projects were selected based on crite-ria including their economic development potential, their proximity to underserved communities, the need for new paved and natural surface multi-use trails, environ-mental stewardship and the potential for greater partnerships and collaboration across all levels of government, nonprofi t organizations and the private sector.
Great Outdoors Colorado, or GOCO, is investing $30 million in trails over the next four years as part of its “Connect Initiative” and grant applications for the designated trails will receive priority consideration. GOCO intends to spend $10 million in 2016 on the initiative.

When developer William Page fi rst pro-posed to build a Best Western Hotel in Gold Hill Square South, there were plenty of ob-jections to its height, design and scope.
Some objections came from his neigh-bors, while others came from the Woodland Park Planning Commission.
He was sent back to the drawing board to come up with a more suitable plan more amenable to everyone. He lowered the building 23 feet leaving its maximum height at 52 feet. He reduced the number of rooms from 80 to 60 total. He re-designed roof to hide the mechanicals and the elevator hoist and eliminated stair towers.
The Best Western Hotel will feature a 32-space underground parking garage, an indoor pool and 14 ground-level rooms and two upper levels with 24 rooms each.
He also redesigned it to be more aes-thetically compatible with Woodland Park’s mountain town design standards with a large timber-and-stone covered entrance.
If the lack of comments against his new proposal are any indication, he has hit his target. As a result, the project won unani-mous approval from the City Council on Feb. 4. Page said construction on his project might start in late 2016 or early 2017.
The project needed the blessing of the council because the hotel Page proposed exceeded limits of the “planned unit devel-opment” or PUD zoning of the property.
City Planning Director Sally Riley ex-plained that the shopping center was built in 1978-79 when it was a simple commercial zone.
In 1996, the city overhauled its zoning system. A year later, the property was re-zoned as a PUD, locking in existing building heights and setbacks.
Because Page’s proposal changes the uses allowed in the shopping center, ap-proval was need from the Planning Com-mission and City Council. The commission approved a PUD amendment Jan. 14, send-ing Page and his project before the council.
The project involves dramatic changes to the shopping center. Two businesses, Sherwin Williams and Goodwill, will be dis-placed. The rest of the shops in the existing building will stay in place with façade im-provements to match the hotel exterior.
Page said he will help Sherwin Williams fi nd a new site. Goodwill has already sub-mitted plans to build a new store next to Walgreen’s across from the Pikes Peak Cou-rier offi ce.
This is a permitted use on this site and all plans will be administratively reviewed. The new Goodwill store could be open for busi-ness as early as October.
If the building footprint is changed by more than 10 feet, Page would have to seek another PUD amendment.

In a small sign of progress between war-ring factions in Green Mountain Falls, the Board of Trustees agreed to begin a search for a full-time, certified town clerk.
Or the board may hire someone willing to get certified as clerk.
The decision at the Feb. 2 meeting came after yet another complaint from a dissident faction that has, for months, been vocal and relentless in its opposition to the board.
It started when Mac Pitrone renewed complaints about questionable spending by former clerk Mary Duval, who was sus-pended in November and fired in Decem-ber after questionable spending issues sur-faced.
Renee Price was hired as part-time as the clerk. but Pitrone demanded the board hire a permanent replacement.
Trustee Michael Butts, who is the acting treasurer and spokesman for budget issues, replied: “A full-time clerk is not needed or desired.”
However, the board later agreed to begin a search.
Pitrone also renewed complaints about overdrafts and said documents he obtained using the Colorado Open Records Act, or CORA, revealed 50 receipts are missing, the largest on for $3,000, in addition to $420 spend on restaurant food – in unexplained charges.
Asking for a response to Pitrone’s re-newed charges, Butts replied in an email.
“Mac is correct about the overdrafts,” Butts said. “The food is in the budget. These were addressed at a public hearing in December that I held and there is noth-ing new. Mac was at that meeting and I an-swered all questions that were brought up. Moving forward, I think that the detail that is being given out will help with some of their issues.”
As well, Mayor Lorrie Worthey said the issue is over, as Duval is no longer with the town.
But the opposotin/watchdog group isn’t
ready to let go. Gail Gerig again highlighted information learned through the CORA re-quest showing that Police Chief Tim Bradley incurred unexplained expenses in Laramie, Wyo. and Albuquerque, N.M.
“The purpose for the trips is unknown,” Gerig said.
Gerig also questioned why Bradley’s bud-get for 2016 shows an increase of $20,000, to $51,000 for 2016. In December, Cameron Thorne, who is a candidate for the position of trustee, also questioned the increase.
In his report Feb. 2, Bradley cited his de-partment’s efforts to reduce vehicle crashes and citations in 2016. Gerig questioned the logic.
“This not only has the appearance of a quota system but also would call for more citations,” she said.
When asked later about Gerig’s com-ments, Butts replied in an email.
“The takeaway from Gail’s comment is that she would like to see better reporting of any travel and the takeaway from that travel i.e., what was learned, and how will it benefit/impact GMF,” Butts wrote. “This is being done moving forward.”
In other action, the board appointed Katharine Guthrie to a vacancy created by the December resignation of Don Ellis, who was repeatedly absent from meetings after he moved to Colorado Springs.
In describing her qualifications, Guthrie cited her chairmanship of the town’s eco-nomic sustainability committee. Among the committee’s successful ventures is the recent opening of the Sallie Bush Commu-nity Building. She will serve until the elec-tion April 5.
The board chose Guthrie over Dick Lack-mond, who cited his experience as a former mayor of the town. Lackmond is running for a seat on the board in the election in April.
Also Feb. 2, the board held a lottery draw-ing for ballot position among candidates for the board. In order, they are Barbara Gardiner, Lackmond, Erin Kowal, Cameron Thorne, Tyler Stevens, Dick Bratton and Da-vid Pearlman.
Mayoral candidate Jane Newberry will be listed behind Mayor Lorrie Worthey.
Auditing firm says yes, but . . .
Despite the snafus con-nected with last year’s audit, the firm Stockman Kast Ryan + Company agreed to contin-ue for the second year, albeit with conditions. The firm will charge by the hour which will come to at least $10,000, Butts said.
“We will ask for a list of documents the auditors need to make sure everything is in good shape,” he added.
The board voted to retain the firm.

Winner of a Wildfire Mitigation Innova-tion Award, Jonathan Bruno has been rec-ognized nationally and internationally for his work with the Coalition of the Upper South Platte.
In response to the Waldo Canyon and Black Forest fires, Bruno developed a CUSP wildland firefighting team that has been de-ployed to fires around the nation.
“It’s amazing for me to see the issues we are dealing with,” he said. “The fuel risk is everywhere.”
According to a press release from the National Association of State Foresters, that risk is fueled by the number of people building homes and playing in the forest. In 2015, for instance, more than 10 million acres of land were burned by wildfire, states the release.
“Everyone is hungry for a solution,” Bru-no said.
Bruno hired on with CUSP in 2003, the fourth employee of the nonprofit organiza-tion led today by Carol Ekarius. “With my experience with the U.S. Forest Service and as a member of a mountain rescue team in college, they hired me for my forestry expe-rience,” Bruno said.
In the early years, Bruno led rehabilita-
tion projects for homeowners whose lands were decimated by the Hayman Fire in June 2002.
“A lot of organizations were doing this type of work,” he said. “But we created a program of neighbors helping neighbors because this is our problem.”
Throughout the program, CUSP built relationships with the community. “We ex-pect people to participate in the rehabilita-tion projects,” Bruno said.
Bruno tells the story of a landowner who credits CUSP for introducing him to his
neighbors – through team work.“We all love this place, so how can we
built a sense of community that is a benefit to all?” he said.
Bruno credits Ekarius’s leadership for the organization’s neighborhood rehabili-tation projects, a vital part of restoring and mitigating the effects of fire and flood, a re-sult of the Waldo Canyon Fire in 2012.
From a small staff and a hearty bunch of
volunteers, today CUSP has 34 staff mem-bers, manages two slash sites, provides wood chips to the Fairplay schools and is nationally-recognized due, in part, to its Wildland Fire Suppression team.
“We saw the need,” Bruno said. Bruno plans to accept the award at the
Wildland-Urban Interface Conference March 9 in Reno, Nev. The awards are

She had always been steady, this darling wife of mine, a woman not easily rattled, a tough one to be sure. A beacon of light piercing the darkness. A pillar.
But it had been snowing hard for three days and nights and she no longer laughed at my best jokes, responding now with this: “Gee, that was funny . . . the first four times you told it.”
Yup, despite having Mr. Perfect at her side non-stop, 24 hours a day, as the snow piled up and trapped us in our home, Susie had surely begun to lose her mind.
First, before she lost her sense of humor, it was the loud snorting sounds bursting from her nose. The window-rat-tling noises seemed to indicate that either A) she was get-
ting the flu or B) a screech owl was nesting inside her snout.I asked her, nicely, to please stop.“Stop what? Breathing?” she shot back, claiming there
was hardly any sound at all emanating from her nose. She had apparently even trained our two cats to ignore the freight train-like nose whistles. Both cats remained sound asleep beside her on the couch.
A moment later, startled by the doorbell, I bolted to my feet and headed for the door. When I got there, the front porch was empty. There was nobody at the door.
My wife, slowly sinking into craziness brought on by the relentless blizzard and cabin fever, laughed a maniacal laugh.
“Probably the same guy you thought rang the doorbell and ran away the other 15 times today,” she said.
That was the clearest sign yet that she was losing it. Because whoever was ringing the bell and running off into the woods – somehow without leaving any footprints in the fresh snow – had done it some 30 times that day, not 15.
Only once had I caught a glimpse of the doorbell prank-ster, crouched low behind a tree. I bellowed: “There he is! There he is!” and my wife loped over to the window, looked
out, sighed loudly and said it was a rabbit. Her observation made me laugh so hard the lunatic hid-
ing behind the tree got scared – judging by the way his ears went up and the way he hopped into a thorn bush. (He was wearing a brown coat with what I’d describe as a white patch of something sewn onto the rear-end area.)
My wife’s condition worsened as nightfall approached and the blizzard raged. At dinner she insisted, over and over, that I was eating minestrone soup with a steak knife.
I ignored her, not wanting a confrontation with a whacko, and quietly finished my bowl of soup – which took three hours and 20 minutes, not counting the first-aid required after I somehow sliced my thumb open with the spoon.
As midnight approached on that third snowy night, my wife, bless her heart, tried to convince me that I’d been outside shoveling without wearing any pants. I would have been more alarmed at her nonsense but I was busy soaking my cold, red legs in a warm bath.
Later, after she had suggested several times that I was “going bonkers,” she said I should try to get some sleep.
Right. So the maniac in the brown coat with the white rump patch could hop up the front steps. Again.

Last week was huge in the lives of many of our region’s high school students and their families.
It was a week many prep student-athletes signed letters declaring their intentions to play football or other sports in college.
In our Sports section, we have a list of some of the Tri-Lakes area students who committed to college. Even if you don’t care for sports, I recommend you give the list a look. I believe you’ll see many of these same names in future newspaper (webpaper?) stories as they go on to become leaders in their communities and in their chosen profes-sions.
Name a sport and there’s a student on the list: football, baseball, softball, soccer, lacrosse, track, cross country and diving. Often these kids played more than one sport, or they were involved in other extra-curricular activities throughout high school.
In my experience, kids who play high school and college sports are high-achievers whose work-ethic, drive and am-
bition will take them far when their playing days are long over.
Kids who engage in extra-curriculars — debate and dra-ma, marching band and symphony, sports — usually have higher grade-point averages, lower absentee rates, fewer disciplinary problems and above-average graduation rates than their classroom-only peers, studies show.
Don’t believe me? Research amassed by the National Federation of State High School Associations shows par-ticipation in high school activities often leads to success in college and adulthood.
Kids involved in high school activities are less likely to use illegal drugs or become teen parents, according to the research.
These kids are more likely to become adults who vote, volunteer and succeed in business.
I’d say those are good reasons to celebrate their sign-ings. It’s a major achievement by the students, represent-ing years of intense work.
But they didn’t do it alone.Few college signings could be accomplished without
countless hours of help and encouragement from the stu-dent-athlete’s parents, as well as lots of nurturing by their teachers and coaches along the way.
We’re talking about parents who give up evenings relax-ing in front of the boob tube to sit and watch soccer prac-tice, or who awake at 0-dark-30 to schlep a kid and a bag of skates and hockey sticks to the ice rink where they sit in the cold during practice.
Often they pile up miles and miles on their cars getting to far-flung games with club teams or just to practice in Denver or Colorado Springs.
I know. I’ve been there. And I’m still there. I was lucky enough to watch my daughter, Anna, play
in the marching band, the symphony and the honor guard during her high school and college years. I know how her life was enriched by her experiences, which led her to cov-eted roles for three summers at the Renaissance Festival in Larkspur and later a career with the Walt Disney Co. after college graduation.
My oldest boy, Peter, played high school soccer, basket-ball and football and just completed his senior season on scholarship as goalkeeper for the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs soccer team. (The Mountain Lions were 8-1 with Peter in goal last season! Pardon my bragging.)
And my youngest, Ben, is a competitive air rifle shooter for USA Shooting’s National Training Center Shooting Club Juniors.
The kids gain priceless experiences from their partici-pation.
They gain confidence and learn self-control. They learn to overcome adversity, cope with defeat and accept coach-ing and criticism. And they learn the importance of team-work.
So join me in saluting these students, their parents, teachers and coaches. Together, they are combining to give us future leaders and giving us fun teams to cheer for along the way.
College signing day a big deal in lives of students, families

The city of Woodland Park recently moved an old yellow building from the park down to the U.S. Highway 24 rest area. This building was once Woodland’s railroad sta-tion.
It originally sat over where Vectra Bank sits. Not only that, this building was once much larger.
There was a fire in October 1935 which, for the most, part destroyed it. The fire was believed to have been started by a spark from a passing train shortly before midnight on Oct. 30th.
The one-story frame building was originally over 40 feet long with a covered platform waiting area. The Colorado Springs Fire Department even sent up an engine or two with additional water and chemicals.
The Woodland volunteers fought the fire for about 45 minutes. The train believed to have started the fire was on its way to Cripple Creek with empty ore cars for the mines.
The Midland at the time was trying some slow burning lignite coal from a company owned mine near Colorado Springs. The hard-working train left a path of other fires from lignite was still burning as it shot out the smoke stack.
The depot was destroyed, for the most part. The roof and
the station end of the building was a total loss, but a small portion of the baggage end was saved.
From these remains, the railroad’s building department built a new station. The new building had a metal roof, as well as on all the Midland’s buildings along the line. The station at Divide still has its metal roof installed in 1935. I have looked at the wood in the building and you do not re-ally see any scars from the fire.
Only the track maintenance crews used this station, as there were usually no passengers to or from Woodland in those days. It lasted until the last train in 1949.
It was moved to the park, where it has seen a variety of uses, from a restroom to a thrift shop!
I have been asked if the rest-area building was a railroad station. No, it was built to look like one. But now it has a close neighbor that was the station.

The fall of 1975 was a troubled one for cattlemen and livestock owners in this area. Collective nerves across the state and the rest of the western region were frayed by unexplained cattle mutilations. Speculation of the origin was rampant.
El Paso County Undersheriff Gary Gibs, whose office was coordinating the original investigation with the assis-tance of the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, reported as many 60 mutilations had occurred in Colorado since April of that year, according to an August 10 Rocky Mountain News story by Kathy Gosliner.
U.S. Atty. Robert G. Renner had initiated a probe from his office in Minneapolis utilizing agents from the U.S. Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms Division and Governor Richard Lamm called the mutilations “one of the greatest outrages in the history of the western cattle industry.”
Regardless of what evidence he was able to offer, Renner attributed the phenomena to cult activity.
“I am convinced there was involvement in some areas,” he said, adding there is “some indication” that certain cult-ists are involved and travel from state to state, as reported in the News story at the time.
For weeks on end, bold headlines in the Tri-Lakes Tribune proclaimed the attention-grabbing possibilities. “Vigilantes? vs Satan Worshippers” and “Knifed – After Death” or “$10,000 Reward” and “Mutilated Bull Staggers – Dies.”
U.S. Senator Floyd Haskell asked the Denver office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to intervene and the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association and other livestock organizations contributed to the reward fund.
One story in the Tribune suggested that a helicopter has been used by the mutilators.
“Approximately 10 p.m., Monday (Aug. 11, 1975,) the foreman of the Newman Ranch, south and a little east of Franktown, just off Highway 83, along with the ranch owners saw a helicopter land within their 2000 (plus) acre ranch,” says the Tribune. “The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office and the Colorado State Patrol were notified and they converged on the Newton ranch. Private vehicles from the ranch aided in the search -- to no avail. Search called off at 11:10 p.m., approximately.”
Even Colorado State University was drawn into the con-troversy when a necropsy report completed by veterinary staff at the vet school in Fort Collins came to the conclu-sion that animals sent there for study by investigators were
‘cut with a knife” several hours after death.Earlier mentions of such mutilations, such as the 1967
Alamosa case of “Snippy,” (the horse’s real name was Lady) reported initially in the Pueblo Chieftain, rose to the surface again and the incidents were blamed variously on UFOs, the government, cults, scavenger animals and even some of the investigating agencies. The reward package from stock growing organizations eventually climbed to $25,000.
A report in mid-September in the Cripple Creek Gold Rush said Teller County Sheriff’s Department had report-edly confirmed two more mysterious cattle mutilations.
“Sheriff Gary D. Shoemaker said Thursday three color photographs, taken by private citizens between Cripple Creek and Florissant with a 35 mm camera, clearly show an unidentified blue helicopter with an unusual V-type tail system. A plain white spot on the side of the craft appears to be some type of material to cover identification num-bers.”
“The blue helicopter shown in the photographs identi-cally fits descriptions provided by at least six different witnesses last week. A similar chopper was observed near Gillett Sunday and Cripple Creek mountain estates on Wednesday,” reported the Gold Rush and the Summit County Journal.
“The Sheriff said he is further convinced the blue heli-copter visible in three photographs is somehow involved in the mutilations, and that a ground crew is also assisting the helicopter pilot.”
That same week the Pagosa Springs Sun had account of an additional incident in Hinsdale County on the Upper Piedra River and a few weeks later, a former publisher of the Brush Banner, Dane Edwards, who was working on a book about the cattle mutilations, was reported missing. He was never located but also left a substantial trail of unpaid financial obligations.
Additional mutilation reports swirled around Colorado and the rest of the West for much of the remaining decade. In 1979, under pressure from organizations and the public wanting a definitive answer to what was going on; the FBI launched an investigation led by agent Kenneth Rommel. His report, costing nearly $45,000 and encompassing 297 pages concluded, with a few unexplained exceptions, that the mutilations were the result of animals dying through conventional means and experiencing natural preda-tion or other documented phenomena, That report was supported by other federal, state and local investigation conclusions offered by ATF and some local investigators. Others, however dispute the findings to this day.
Imagine these scenarios: You rush a loved one who has been bitten by a rabid raccoon to the emergency room, only to find that the ER is out of the needed rabies medication; or you’re having open-heart-surgery and the hospital doesn’t have the drug that prevents hemorrhag-ing; or two children are undergoing treatment for cancer and the cancer center only has enough of the preferred cancer-fighting drug to treat one of the children, not both.
Welcome to America’s new normal … drug shortages.According to an article in the Jan. 25 edition of The
Washington Post, there have been 1,800 drug shortages re-ported between 2001 and 2014 with nearly 34 percent be-ing drugs needed in ERs. More than half of those shortages were of lifesaving drugs and 10 percent were drugs that had no substitutes.
For years, drug shortages and the resulting rationing were hidden from patients and the public. However, a new study just published in the journal Academic Emergency Medicine points out that drug shortages in ERs across America have increased by more than 400 percent between 2001 and 2014.
“We’re currently in a public health crisis with rising drug shortages and the most concerning thing is that it’s likely to get worse,” says study author Jesse Pines, director of the Office of Clinical Practice Innovation at George Washing-ton University School of Medicine and Health Sciences. “It’s very concerning if there is a life-saving medication for a condition, but it’s just not available.”
The primary reasons given for shortages? Manufac-turing delays are to blame for 25.6 percent of all short-ages while supply-and-demand account for 14.9 percent and lack of raw materials is responsible for 4.4 percent of our nation’s drug shortages. Pharmaceutical companies listed business decisions as the reason 2.1 percent of the time. There’s no reason given a whopping 46 percent of the time.
In recent years, drug shortages of anesthetics, painkill-
ers, antibiotics and cancer treatments have occurred on a regular basis. The American Society of Health-System Pharmacists currently lists inadequate supplies of more than 150 drugs. Reasons range from manufacturing prob-lems to federal safety crackdowns to pharmaceutical com-panies abandoning low-profit products.
This poses a problem for medical institutions across the country in making choices about who gets drugs that are in short supply and who doesn’t. Some have set up formal committees consisting of ethicists, doctors and patient representatives, while others have left what might be critical life-and-death decisions in the hands of physi-cians, pharmacists and sometimes drug company execu-tives.
Often, a patient’s weight or age is the deciding factor. Obese patients, who might need up to three times the dos-age of an antibiotic pre-surgery are only given the standard dose.
Some institutions prioritize based on age, with children being preferred over older adults because of their poten-tially longer life-spans or because they need a smaller dose due to their reduced weight and size.
When drug shortages force these tough decisions, doc-tors often opt for alternative treatments, which can result in higher rates of medication errors, side effects, disease progression and death.
Scary times.

Tosches may be the alien from planet Kyloth
To the Editor,I was looking forward to reading the lat-
est issue of your paper, then I read your col-umnist, Rich Tosches, hate-fi lled article of juvenile nothingness.
His article did absolutely nothing to in-form or educate anybody on anything. As an independent voter, I prefer to listen to all the candidates and make an informed decision at the end of all the politicking.
Tosches is not helping your paper in its effort to build greater readerships in the Pikes Peak area. You should consider elimi-nating him as a writer. Tosches’ article was beneath your paper’s standards. It only demonstrates he may be the one from the planet Kyloth.

Mella reasserts evidence of civilization jihad threat
To the Editor:Consistent with apologists for the na-
scent Islamist threat to America, Rodney Noel Saunders asserts, without a scintilla of evidence, that claims about civilization ji-had have been discredited (Letters, Jan 20).
Saunders trots out the predictable — read threadbare — arguments that we’re a nation of immigrants and that there is no evidence that Muslims are “seeking to over-throw this country.”
In my letter I referenced the Center for Security Policy’s seminal 2010 Team B re-port “Shariah: The Threat to America,” which Saunders obviously has never read.
Had he taken the time to study it, he would know the threat of civilization jihad has, in fact, been irrefutably substantiated.
This 372-page report was written by ex-perts such as R. James Woolsey, former CIA director, Andrew McCarthy, former chief assistant U.S. attorney, Lt. Gen. William Boykin, former deputy undersecretary for the Department of Defense, and Lt. Gen. Harry Soyster, former director of the De-fense Intelligence Agency.
For further evidence, he might study the Center for Security Policy’s 2015 collection of monographs titled “Civilization Jihad Reader Series,” which includes the report titled “Shariah in American Courts: The Ex-panding Incursion of Islamic Law in the U.S. Legal System.” It includes 146 docu-mented cases in 32 states in which plain-tiffs asserted the supremacy of Shariah law over the statutes of the states in question. This is prototypical civilization jihad strat-egy, which has put down roots in much of Europe, and now, in America.
According to the monograph, the surge in these cases can be attributed to the ac-tivism of Muslim Brotherhood-connected groups such as the Association of Muslim Jurists of America (AMJA).
Saunders closes by saying that to claim world domination is “the essential reality for all Muslims ignores the reality of factual history and the Islamic religion”—an asser-tion I didn’t make in my letter. I suggest he study the primary source documents, i.e., the Koran, the Hadith, and the Sira, and, in particular, understand the difference between the Meccan Koran and Medina Koran. The former, which apologists adduce in support of their contention that Islam is a religion of peace, is su-perseded by the latter, which justifi es the murder of innocents to support of its

I tell everyone that you can fi rst try a free sample and see how you feel 40 minutes after you take it. Most say that they never felt so good from a multi vitamin. Being a high potency formula & Gluten Free this digests very easy with no stomach distress. Try to break the vitamin that you are taking now with your fi ngers then try to break the Superior Plus and you will see it will break without any effort. Many supplements just pass right through the intestines.
Superior Plus Whole Food Vitamin & Mineral Ingredients:Soy Isofl avones Soy Isofl avones are phytoestrogens, daidzein, genistein and glycitein extracted from soy. Soy Isofl avones have a protective component against cancer.Rutin Rutin is a fl avonoid related to Quercetin. Rutin is nutritionally supportive for fragile capillaries, bruising and swollen ankles. Rutin prevents oxidation of LDL cholesterol by “recharging” Vitamin C.Inositol Hexaphosphate Inositol is the energy source for germinating seeds. It aids in the metabolism of insulin and calcium, hair growth, bone marrow cell metabolism, eye membrane development, and helps the liver transfer fat to other parts of the body.Choline Choline is used by the body to manufacture phosphatidylcholine found in every cell membrane. This component helps cells to remain fl exible enough to travel around tight corners of blockages in the body. In the nerve cells and brain cells it protects the interior of the cell from trauma, toxins, infections, and oxidation.Spirulina Spirulina is a blue-green algae containing 65-71% complete protein. It is a balance of all the amino acids.
Barley Grass Barley Grass improves digestion and supplies powerful nutrients and enzymes.Apple Pectin Apple Pectin is a wonderful dietary fi ber, lowers cholesterol and triglycerides levels, aids in the removal of toxins and helps prevent colon cancer, diabetes, GI disorders and heart diease.Oat Bran Research shows that oat bran lowers cholesterol levels thus promoting a lower risk of heart disease. Oat Bran is a great fi ber source of Vitamin B1, iron, phosphorus, and potassium.Ginkgo Biloba Ginkgo Biloba increases circulation and enhances brain function. Research may show that Ginkgo has been helpful in lowering cardiovascular disease.Gotu kola Gotu kola is “brain food.” Gotu kola is known as a blood purifi er, diuretic and helps relieve muscle cramps.Flax Seed Flax Seed is a rich source of Omega 3 and Omega 6 essential fatty acids. This anti-infl ammatory supports the joints, assists the body in the fi ght against allergies, cancer, cardiovascular disease and cholesterol balance. Citrus Biofl avonoid Citrus Biofl avonoid provides protection of capillaries and is an antioxidant. Co-Q10 Co-Q10 is needed for a healthy heart muscle. Co-Q10 is used by every cell in the body to capture electrons release as the mitochondria release the energy by combing sugar with oxygen.Green Tea Extract Green Tea contains compounds know as polyphenols that function as antioxidants combat bacteria and abnormal cells, inhibit the oxidation of LDL, cholesterol are found in green tea.OPC-50 Grape Seed Extract and Pine Bark These ingredients are rich in proanthocyanidins (PAC’s) providing extreme antioxidant protection.Quercetin Quercetin is a fl avonoid with anti-allergenic, antihistaminic and anti-infl ammatory activity.
Enzyme ComplexAmylase Amylase digests CarbohydratesLipase Lipase digests fatsCellulase Cellulase breaks down non-digestible fi ber found in plants.Papain Papain is a rich source of digestive enzymes.Bromelain Bromelain is a protein digestive enzyme that helps the body release toxins and waste products from the body.
Licorice Root Licorice Root strengthens adrenal gland function, relieves pain and infl ammation, relaxes muscle spasms, lowers cholesterol, and acts as a mild laxative.Siberian ginseng root Siberian ginseng enhances energy out put, regulates blood pressure, reduces cholesterol, stimulates immune functions, and promotes a general sense of balance.Mushroom Complex Mushroom Complex has been found to reduce lipid and serum cholesterol levels, provides strong adaptogenic tendencies, anti-tumor and immune-potentiating properties, and can be used in the treatment in various cancers.Garlic Garlic stimulates coronary circulation, supports immune function, anti- parasitic, stimulates digestive fl uids, and combats infection, reducing blood pressure and heart rate.Vegetable Complex The vegetable complex is derived from sources such as broccoli, celery, parsley, caulifl ower, carrots, and spinach, yam, collard greens, kale, and brussel sprouts. These are foods richest sources of vitamins, minerals and enzymes. They assist in alkalizing the body; they are rich in nutrients such as Vitamin K, chlorophyll, beta-carotene, and provide excellent free radical support.Fruit Complex The fruit complex is derived from oranges, lemons, tangerines, grapefruits, and limes.

The kids have got the rhythm, can feel the beat. More fun than reading about a foreign country, playing the drums can be part of the story, of African art, culture and history.
“The language of African drums incorporates phrasing, punctuation and expression in a cultural context,” said Lau-ren Lehmann, who teaches art at Gateway Elementary School.
Bob Hall, the African who zeroed in on the innate rhythm of children, is serving a residency at the school to enhance the cur-riculum based on the musical “The Lion King.”
The drums reflect a range of lessons, among them, the issue of the slavery of Africans in the United States in the eigh-teenth and nineteenth centuries.
“One of the drums was lent to us by a student’s grandmother, who is descended from slaves,” Lehmann said.
The drums, or “djembe” in the African
language, are hand-carved from Africa, on loan to the school for the workshop.
Along with picking up the African beat, the students are learning songs in four lan-guages, Zulu, Swahili, Xhosa and English, for their performance of the musical in April.
While the actors and dancers are third-, fourth- and fifth-graders, the Disney proj-ect includes all of the students.
“The younger children are learning how to make jungle scenes from painted grocery bags, in the style of an artist from Honduras, who recently showed his work at the Denver Art Museum,” Lehmann said.
In addition to Hall, the instructors for the performance include Patti Smithson-ian, the region’s well-known puppeteer, and Seth (who uses only one name), a poet and actor.
While the children learn to make pup-pets from Smithsonian, they’ll refine their roles with guidance from Seth.
“He will help the students bring the character to life through expression, body language and the poetry of speaking,” Lehmann said
The Lion King project includes, in addi-tion to Lehmann, Gateway teachers Heidi Howard, Valerie Herstatt and Anne Marie Leanza.
The theatrical curriculum stems from an initial grant, the Lion King Experience, awarded to the school in the spring by Disney and Office Max.
The curriculum and workshops are the result of a $1,800 grant from the Colo-rado Arts Partnership/think360Arts, with
a match of $500 from Gateway, using proceeds from the Fun’d Run last year. Tiptop Tree Construction of Woodland Park donated one of the drums.
“The whole Lion King experience is helping me to meet my professional goal of incorporating literacy in the art program,” Lehmann said.
Gateway students perform “The Lion King” April 28 and 29.
African drums centerpiece of theatrical student workshop
Fourth-grade students at Gateway Elementary School are naturals when it comes to playing the drums. A workshop by the African, Bob Hall, is the result of a grant from the Colorado Arts Partnership’s think360 Arts.
The much-anticipated opening of Forest Ridge Senior Living, a state-of-the-art, skilled nursing care provider for Teller County, is just around the corner.
As a proud member of the Golden Bridge Network, For-est Ridge will serve those who require or will benefit from 24/7 nursing care, in the comfort of our community. It is located on the campus of Pikes Peak Regional Hospital, 16006 W. Highway 24, in Woodland Park.
We will serve residents who need extended nursing care or therapy after a hospital stay, or a secured environment for a loved one with an advanced memory loss diagnosis. We’ll also offer short-term respite stays, inpatient hospice care and planned long-term care. That way, clients will maintain their Teller County residency while getting the around-the-clock nursing attention.
Forest Ridge has four separate specialty wings and private rooms (including private bathroom and shower). Each wing has its own community area and intimate din-ing nooks with gorgeous mountain views.
Forest Ridge is a true community effort and a shining
example of public/private partnership.The effort to build Forest Ridge is led by the local
developer, Mid-States Senior Living, headed by Robert Schleicher.
Administrative and clinical management, along with specialized development services, are being provided by OnPointe Health.
Our administrator, Kelly Everly, along with the director of nursing, assistant director of nursing, dietary director and business development director, have a combined 100 years of experience in skilled nursing. And are all residents of Teller or El Paso County.
Once all local and state health and safety inspections are completed, and the necessary certifications have been approved, Forest Ridge will welcome residents who have Medicare, Medicaid, long-term care insurance or private funds, and will pursue provider contracts with leading managed care companies.
If you would like more information regarding our care services, or to request a reservation for a loved one, please call me, Jo Lutz at 399-0205 or email me at [email protected] Lutz is director of business development at Forest Ridge Senior Living

“20 Years in Business”
“Transforming.” That’s how Kathy Sparnins, a long-time grief counselor and fi rst-time fi lmmaker, describes the documentary fi lm that has consumed her life for several years.
Sparnins is executive director and co-producer of “Voices of Grief: Honoring the Sacred Journey.” The 42-minute documentary fi lm will make its world premiere March 6 in the Richard F. Celeste Theatre of the Corner-stone Arts Center at Colorado College.
“Voices of Grief” weaves together interviews and insights from contemporary authors, poets and spiritual teachers with the stories of people who talk about their own very personal experiences with grief.
Sparnins, from Woodland Park, says she was motivated to create this unique fi lm after a long professional career as a grief educator and counselor, as well as her own expe-riences with grief.
“Over the years, I learned how often our culture struggles to support people in pain, and especially when they are grieving,” she says. “We want people to be okay but we kind of give them messages to hurry this process
and get over it. It’s not that we are bad people; we just don’t know what to do.”
Sparnins was sure of her message and she also knew she wanted to present a powerful independent fi lm that would stand on its own at fi lm festivals as well as serve as a resource for hospices and grief groups. So she brought veteran fi lmmaker Deb Collins and screenwriter Lise Bennett on board.
Collins, also from Woodland Park, has more than 20 years of video production experience, and is the founder and owner of her own multimedia company, Starinsky Studios, with clients such as motivational speakers Mark Victor Hansen (“Chicken Soup for the Soul”) and Anthony Robbins.
Bennett is both a writer and health care professional, and has won the grand prize in a scene-writing contest sponsored by Showtime, and was a winner in the Fresh Voices Screenplay Competition, and was a fi nalist in The Moondance International Film Festival and The Latino Screenplay Competition.
Sparnins says “Voices of Grief” is being considered for inclusion in the Rocky Mountain Women’s Film Festival and she is hoping for other fi lm festivals after the world
premiere.“This is a project
of love,” she says. “I’ve been so inspired by the people I’ve served as they experience the life and death circle. And I’ve learned that if you are allowed to feel what you feel, instead of all the things your culture wants you to feel, then you can transform. That’s what the people in the fi lm –
artists, painters, writers, fi lmmakers – are doing. They are transforming their experiences into something that can teach others.”
The world premiere of “Voices of Grief” and a reception are open to the public, but seating is limited.
Reception tickets are $25, and the fi lm will be shown free of charge.
The event will also feature a musical performance by Melanie DeMore and the Pikes Peak Threshold Singers. DeMore and the Threshold Singers performed together in 2013 in Colorado Springs, and were also involved in a mass singing event.
Reservations are required by Feb. 21 for the fi lm and reception; go to vogevents.org or email Kathy/[email protected]

“It all comes down to the fact that I was afforded an opportunity to use my creativ-

totalitarian aspirations.Muslims who aren’t a threat to America
are the apostates who no longer adhere to Islam’s edicts. Those who are threats are the Salafi sts who have pledged the destruc-tion of America, and are actively pursuing it through civilization jihad.
People who aren’t aware of this threat should take the time to study these docu-

Letters
Praise for county road crews, Mayor Levy
To the Editor,I want to say a serious and sincere thank
you to the Teller County road crews who keep our roads as passable as possible during the winter snow storms, with spe-cial praise to the crews that keep our Deer Mountain Road area not only plowed but also graded after such snow. The work ac-
complished this past week was exception-ally well done.
And also a praise and thank you to Neil Levy for his closing statement to the pub-lic and City Council seeking to have all the citizens come together for a better and far less contentious future. That is the mark of authentic leadership from a concerned cit-izen and public servant in the face of strong disagreement. Go forward now, please.

Continued from Page 1project came from Ralph Taylor, who worried that a fl at roof could collapse in a heavy snow.
This is the last time Page will have to bring his project to the planning commission or council unless there are major changes. From now on everything related to the project will be administratively reviewed.
In other business, Brian Fleer presented the combined Economic Develop-
ment/Downtown Development Authority report. He said the authority’s $1.8 million note will be recast before the June deadline and the authority will also make a $36,000 payment on the note.
The authority board is working on a revenue sharing model with the Northeast Teller County Fire Protection District to help the district with funding improvements to provide services to an expanding city. The model should be ready for the fi re protection district board and city council in the second quarter.
The Main Street Board has set priorities for 2016 projects that include new rest-area signage, ongoing volunteer train-ing, creating a downtown improvement plan and updating the city’s business property database.
City Manager David Buttery announced Public Works Director William Alspach plans to retire in May. The city will advertised for a replacement in hopes Alspach can provide training and ensure a smooth transition.
Council appointed Jeff Wheeler to fi ll one of two vacan-cies on the Keep Woodland Park Beautiful committee.
Mayor Neil Levy proclaimed Feb. 13-29 Moose is Loose Fest.
Council approved minutes for a special meeting on Jan. 24 requested by Councilmember Bob Carlsen to explore adding another ballot initiative to the April 5 municipal bal-lot amending the city’s road improvements sales tax. Coun-cil took no action on this and it wasn’t sent on to a public hearing.
At that meeting Buttery was asked to explore a resolution to encourage voluntary annexation. No action was taken on another possible resolution to establish Capital Investment Planning, Programing and Budgeting procedures.

Additional trails funding may also be available for qualifying projects through Col-orado Parks and Wildlife, the Department of Local Affairs and the Colorado Department of Transportation.
“I am very pleased that that the tremen-dous value of the Ute Pass and Ring the Peak Trails was recognized,” said El Paso County Commissioner Sallie Clark, who represents the Ute Pass region.
“These critical trail segments link together unique communities and popular tourism destinations in the Pikes Peak Region and provide a variety of recreational, economic, social and environmental benefi ts.”

Cripple Creek-Victor boys’ trailed 58-0 against Sanford
By Danny [email protected]
Cripple Creek-Victor High School freshman guard Ricky
Larson drained a 3-pointer late in the second quarter of the Pioneers’ game at Sanford on Jan. 30.
That pulled the CC-V within 55 points at 58-3.Yes, the Pioneers trailed 58-0 to begin the game.CC-V junior guard Conner Brown buried a 3-pointer as
the second-quarter clock ran down, sending his team went into the locker room down 62-6 with 16 minutes to play.
Brown drained another 3-pointer early in the third quar-ter to make the score 64-9. Those were the last points CC-V would score during an 89-9 loss.
I realize there are a lot of questions as to how, and why, this game was so lopsided. Let’s look at some of the contrib-uting factors.
Sanford is the two-time defending Class 2A state cham-pions. They are 13-0 this season, and 66-1 dating back to the start of the 2013-14 campaign.
Sanford has been one of the state’s top small school teams since the beginning of time, or so it seems. The school also won state championships in 1949, 1950, 1977, 1995 and 2003. In the last decade the Indians fi nished third in the state twice; 2010 and 2013.
Sanford and CC-V have met six times since the 2011-12 season, with Sanford winning all six times. The average score of games is 89-23.
“Our kids were ready to play and came out sharp,” San-ford coach Rhett Larsen told me after the latest CC-V game. “I felt like our kids played well and I wanted to acknowledge
that. It was not about seeing how many points we could score.”
CC-V was playing without four its top players against Sanford. David Wuellner, Jake Hedrickson, Mason Berger and Evan Morse were all out for disciplinary reasons. Each were serving fi ve-game suspensions.
Larsen told me he was not aware that CC-V was playing short-handed.
Aside from pulling one of its players (a team must have at least four players on the court at all times), Sanford played the game about as low key as possible. Larsen played most of his second string by the second quarter. He cleared his bench by the third quarter and none of his starters played the fourth.
“All 12 of my guys got signifi cant playing time,” Larsen said. “It was a great opportunity for them.”
CC-V coach Mark Sampson did not fault Larsen for his approach to the game.
“(Sanford) has had a run of really great athletes,” Samp-son said. “They’re so good, they probably shouldn’t be play-ing in 2A.”
For the record, Sanford’s enrollment is a little more than 100. CC-V has an enrollment of about 130.
Sanford should not be faulted for building a 58-0 lead. Yes, it was obvious, probably from the opening tip-off, that
CC-V was clearly outmanned, but Sampson knew that go-ing in. He didn’t beg for mercy, and his kids certainly didn’t cower in fear.
“We couldn’t get anything going against them,” Samp-son said. “I talked to the kids all week about how good (San-ford is).”
Despite losing by 80, Sampson said his team was upbeat after the game.
“The boys were actually pretty happy in the locker room,” he said. “We held them to under 100.”
Sometimes, high school athletic events are one-sided and there is little that can be done about that. I’ve seen 91-0 football games with a running clock after the score was 40-0. I’ve witnessed 32-0 softball games that ended after three innings.
A few years ago, Woodland Park lost to Lewis-Palmer 102-28 in a boys basketball game. I once saw Evangelical Christian Academy in Colorado Springs defeat a team by more than 100 points.
It is not uncommon in college football to see teams win by 60, 70, even 80 points.
Sportsmanship is the key here. Was Sanford displaying poor sportsmanship against CC-V on Jan. 30? I don’t think so.
I believe games play out as they play out. Yes, there can be a point when it obvious that one team is clearly inferior. But to ask your kids to play at half-speed or lay down could be looked at as disrespectful. It might also be unsafe, result-ing in injury.
Winning big may not always be the most popular thing – if you are on the short end – but coaches and players can use those experiences to build upon and improve their pro-grams.
Give me a shout if you have other thoughts on this sub-ject. I would love to hear your opinion.

Pioneers on the wrong end of a lopsided score
Continued from Page 1ing position, she got them in.”
Corbiere had several scholarship offers, but she chose Lamar for personal reasons.
“Lamar was close for my parents to come see me play, and I’m not ready to move away from my parents too far,” said Corbiere, the youngest of six children in her family.
Cunningham is one of the most dynamic players to ever come out of the Woodland Park program. A four-year starter, she led the team in hitting (.552), extra-base hits (20), RBI’s (30) and stolen bases (12). She began the year as the team’s starting pitch-er, but was moved to shortstop.
Cunningham, was named MVP of the Class 4A Metro League while leading the Panthers to a third consecutive conference championship, and was also named to the Colorado High School Activities Associa-tion all-state team.
“Since Trinidad is a junior college, I will get to play more games than if I were at a four-year school. And I also like their asso-ciates of science degree. I plan on majoring in radiology.”
As good as Cunningham and Corbiere
were as high school players, they were recruited mostly for their play on club teams and at showcase tournaments. In October, they attended a tournament in
Las Vegas, Nevada.They play club ball with the Colorado
Springs Aqua Sox. Huntington coaches with the Aqua Sox along with Cunningham’s fa-
ther, Chad.“My dad sacrifi ced a lot for me,” Cun-
ningham said. “He loves to go fi shing. But once I started playing softball he gave up fi shing – and a lot of money – to help me. That means a lot to me.”
With the signings of Cunningham and Corbiere, nine Woodland Park players have signed college scholarship offers in Hun-tington’s fi ve years as head coach of the program. The others include Kellee Suggs, Mallorie Trichell Natalie Diviney, Lexie Comer, Allie Cunningham Dani Lopez and Michaela Huntington.
Woodland Park teams have advanced to the post season fi ve consecutive seasons.
“We’ve had some great players come through our program,” Dale Huntington said. “These girls work hard and they’ve earned everything they’ve received.”
Next season might be a rebuilding year for the Panthers. They graduated eight se-niors, and had just 17 girls in the program last fall. Huntington is hoping to fi nd more college prospects to carry on the rich tradi-tion of Panthers softball.
“I hope we have some middle schoolers out there who want to work hard and learn the game the right way,” Huntington said.

In high school, Diviney played for Woodland Park, but attend-ed Cheyenne Mountain. She batted .317 her senior season at Woodland Park.
Lexie Comer, softball, Colo-rado Mesa University
Comer, a 2015 Wood-land Park graduate, is a utility player for the Maver-icks. Mesa opened its sea-son Feb. 5 against Western Washington at a tourna-ment in Las Vegas, Nevada. Comer was all-everything for Woodland Park. Her se-nior season she batted. 538 with 44 RBIs and 19 extra-base hits. She was also solid on the mound, compiling a 17-4 record with a 2.19 ERA while striking out 133 in 105 innings.
Michaela Huntington, soft-ball, Bethany College
Huntington, a Wood-land Park alum, is in her third season with the Beth-any (Lindsborg, Kansas) Swedes. She is a second baseman/outfi elder ma-joring in communications. The Swedes open their sea-son Feb. 13 at Saint Grego-ry’s University in Shawnee, Oklahoma. As a senior at Woodland Park, Hunting-ton batted .514 with 20 RBIs and nine extra-base hits. She was also 9-1 as a pitcher.

Josh Bodin quietly celebrated when learned he made
the Woodland Park High School boys’ varsity basketball team as a freshman in the fall of 2014. That sense of eupho-ria was followed by panic.
“I was pretty intimidated at first,” Bodin said. “I didn’t know any of the guys. I wasn’t sure I’d get along with any of the guys. I felt like I had to prove to them I should be here and be on the team.”
By the middle of his freshman season, Bodin was start-ing. A year later, he is considered one of the staples of a team.
“He gets better and better every day,” Woodland Park senior forward Jason Kekich said of Bodin. “He’s a lot more coachable now and he works harder in practice and he has so much more room to grow. His maturity level is where it needs to be.”
The 6-foot-2 Bodin is classified as a small forward, though he is one of the best outside shooters on the
team. Through Jan. 26, he was tied for the team lead in 3-pointers made (20) with fabulous freshman Skye Cic-carelli. Bodin’s 9.1 points per game ranked fourth on the team.
“He’s able to score from outside and at the rim,” Woodland Park junior Orion Drummond said of Bodin. “He’s able to get to the rim with people on him
and finish.“And he’s more mature than sophomores usually are.”
Woodland Park coach John Paul Geniesse never felt like he was taking a gamble on Bodin.
“We like where his trajectory is taking him,” Geniesse said. “His maturation from last year to this year is just phe-nomenal. Josh’s leadership and his role will expand in the next eight or nine games that we have left.”
Geniesse would like to see Bodin shoot the ball even more. He’s attempted the fourth most shots on the team (49 of 146) and has the highest field goal percentage (37 percent).
“His confidence is the biggest thing,” Geniesse said. “Everybody will make mistakes. Josh has to know that he won’t make every shot, but he has the ability to be a big-time scorer.”
Bodin has scored in double figures in each of his last five games, with a career-high of 20 against Mitchell on
Jan. 21. He is averaging 13.4 points per game during the stretch.
Bodin only plays basketball. He ran track in middle school, and played baseball briefly as a youngster.
“Basketball is what I love,” he said. “I would love to play in college.”
The thing that Bodin does not love is losing. Woodland Park teams are 1-39 over the last two seasons.
“It’s frustrating for all of us,” Bodin said. “We’ve put in so much hard work, blood, sweat and tears in this program. We’ve improved and, at some point, this thing will turn around.”
And when things do improve you can count on Bodin to play a key role in the turnaround.

Woodland Park RE-2 School District is
seeking new funding and offering to make a deal with city voters in the April 5 election.
If voters agree to a 1.09 percent sales tax increase, the school district will retire a 6.725 mill levy on property in the district.
The district think it’s a good trade for city residents. After all, sales taxes are paid by city and county residents, alike, as well as tourists passing through. Meanwhile, the city residents would see their property tax burden eased.
The district projects a sales tax increase would generate about $1.8 million a year, which it would use to raise teacher salaries, invest in new technology, repair roofs and heating plants and fund other needs, as well as reducing the mill levy.
School districts can place mill levy over-rides on ballots all by themselves, but there appears to be little chance it would pass.
District officials hope their creative solu-tion will entice voters, but they needed help to get it on the ballot which came when the Woodland Park City Council unanimously approved the district’s request at its Feb. 4 meeting.
The council’s action doesn’t translate into an endorsement of the tax increase. In-dividual councilmembers may support or oppose the tax increase as private citizens.
During public comment, Timothy Mc-Millan gave his full support to the tax ini-
tiative, saying it’s equal for all and reason-able in scope. Former RE-2 Superintendent John Paceco said he is proud of all the hard work the school board, the city and the community has done to help local schools.
City resident Ralph Taylor took issue with some of the words in the ballot ques-tion.
“I don’t like “thereafter,’ which implies ‘forever’ and ‘educational purposes’ are not defined enough,” he said.
School board member Gwyne Dawdy explained that the district has lost about $15 million in revenue over the past six years because of state per-pupil funding cuts. Other school districts have made up funding shortfalls by passing mill levy in-creases, but that isn’t an option in Wood-land Park.
“Because we have a number of taxing districts, our property taxes are already some of the highest in the area,” Dawdy said.
She said a 1.09 percent sales tax isn’t big enough to meet all of the district’s funding needs, but it would keep the combined lo-
cal sales tax under 8 percent.Half of the revenue, estimated at about
$1.8 million, would go to pay off the debt currently being served by the 6.725 mill levy. The other half could be used for sala-ries and repairs and things.
She said the tax doesn’t sunset because it will take 20 years to pay off the debt. And in 20 years the school district will continue to need the funding.
RE-2 attorney Kim Crawford said the Taxpayer Bill of Rights, or TABOR, requires refunds to taxpayers if annual revenues collected exceed the amount of money es-timated in the ballot question. This ques-tion sets the 2017 estimate at $2.3 million, a figure high enough that the refund likely won’t kick in, but low enough to be feasible.
“The only possibility of a refund is in the first year,” she said. “This question is ‘de-Bruced’ for the rest of the years so we can keep and retain any tax revenue thereafter.”
Board member Nancy Lecky said infor-mation about the initiative is available at www.citizenssupportwpsd.com, including a link to an information video. Supporters also will be giving talks to local groups and clubs.
Brian Gustafson, district director of business services, explained that the gen-eral obligation bonds covered by the 6.725 mill levy would be refinanced as certificates
of participation. Bond investors would get their refunds and the mill levy would be eliminated in November if the sales tax is approved.
Board President Carol Greenstreet said the district has already made a large num-ber of budget cuts, the first of which were cuts to administration.
Only 5 percent of the district’s bud-get goes toward administration. A lot of maintenance and technology purchases have been deferred and teacher and staff salaries, already the lowest among local districts, have been frozen for five years, which makes it difficult to recruit and re-tain teachers.
The sales tax increase would be added to the local 3 percent sales tax on food. But at just over a penny per dollar, this would add only about $1 per $100 in grocery pur-chases.
“I will continue to buy my groceries here,” Greenstreet said, adding that she spends about $14,000 a year on groceries.
According to the website, eliminat-ing this mill levy would save homeowners about $54 for a $100,000 residence, or $195 for a $100,000 business.
Another advantage of a sales tax vs a mill levy is that only about half of local sales taxes are collected from city residents, officials said. They explained 40 percent comes from county residents and about 10 percent comes from visitors.
RE-2 agrees to cover the additional costs to the city for placing its tax question on the ballot.
After council gave its approval, Mayor Pro Tem Carrol Harvey said getting this ini-tiative approved will be an uphill battle and that “the education program on this had better be good.”

FEBRUARY SCHEDULE
School tax initiative approved for WP April 5 ballotWoodland Park’s grocery tax
In 1976, Colorado voters rejected an attempt to repeal the state sales tax on food to be consumed at home, or groceries. But in 1980, flush with oil revenue, state lawmakers adopted several tax exemptions, including one on groceries. Individual municipalities and counties were given a choice to keep local food taxes or repeal them. Woodland Park and about 180 Colorado communities kept their grocery taxes. Nationwide, 31 states exempt groceries from sales taxes.

A bill to authorize the state Trans-portation Advisory Committee to give advice directly to the Transportation Commission easily passed the Colo-rado House last week and moved to the Senate for consideration.
House bill 1018, sponsored by Rep. Terri Carver, R-Colorado Springs, and Rep. Diane Mitsch Bush, D-Summit County, was billed as a way to improve communication between the two transportation boards and had strong
support from the Pikes Peak Area Council of Governments.
Carver represents the west side of El Paso County including the Ute Pass region.
“It is essential that all parts of the state have their local/regional trans-portation needs and priorities heard,” Carver said in a news release. “This bill provides the Transportation Com-mission with additional local input, knowledge and expertise to assist them in their responsibility of managing the Colorado Transportation System.”

Volunteers with the 2015 Holiday Home Tour threw a party for the bene-ficiaries of the fundraiser, which annu-ally raises thousands of dollars for local nonprofit organizations.
The tour, which has become a De-cember tradition, highlights the broad reach of the organizations such as this year’s beneficiaries:
● Paula Levy, founder of DayBreak, an Adult Day Care, $1,527.
● Ralph Holloway, founder and chair-man of Woodland Park Arts Alliance, $1.908 for scholarships for high school students.
● Beth Huber, chair of the WPAA Pub-lic Arts Fund, $5,725.
The three received the checks at a reception Jan. 29 in the offices of Keller Williams real estate.
The tour’s underwriter is Tweeds Fine Furnishings, whose owner, Tanner Coy, presented the checks.
As a result of Coy’s generosity, since 2012, the Tweeds Holiday Home Tour
has donated $44,626 to the nonprofits, said Karolyn Smith, the tour’s chair.
In 2012, the tour recipients were: Teller Senior Coalition, Woodland Aquatic Project, Woodland Park Hock-
ey Association; in 2013, Teller Senior Coalition, Voices of Grief, Habitat for Humanity and in 2014, Ute Pass Sym-phony Guild and Teller Senior Coali-tion
Editor’s note: This is the second in a series of articles about the Johnson family of Woodland Park who are expecting triplets within a month or so.
By Pat [email protected]
The Johnson household is buzzing these days, racing to prepare before their triplets stage their debut sometime in the next few weeks.
Rebecca and Craig Johnson have a long list of to-do’s: remodel the house; buy three cribs and three strollers; buy a new car with three infant seats – and room enough for Mom, Dad, Lily, 9, and Liam, 4.
The Johnsons are hoping the triplets stay put for now, enjoying at least 32 weeks of gestation, before arriving in March.
However, the triplets, two girls and a boy, have been announcing their presence – a wee bit early.
“I’ve been having contractions,” Re-becca said. “In the past five minutes, I’ve had three contractions.”
To halt the contractions, Rebecca’s doc-tor has put her on medication.
“But it looks like I’ll be going into labor earlier,” she said.
When The Courier visited the family in December, they had just moved from Colo-rado Springs to Woodland Park to be close to their parents, Bonnie and Mike Johnson
and Suzanne and Andre LeClercq. The decision to move was made within
minutes of the triplets’ announcement via the ultrasound.
“We have to move to Woodland Park right away,” Rebecca said at the time.
By the middle of January, Rebecca’s dad, Andre LeClercq, who owns Alec Builders, had nearly finished remodeling the lower level to add bedrooms for Lily and Liam.
“Then we’re going to work on the nurs-ery up here,” Rebecca said.
Still left to do was sell their home in Colorado Springs.
“Our house goes on the market tomor-row,” Craig said.
By the end of the week, Rebecca had been put on bed rest until the babies are born, which means taking a leave of absence from her job as a second-grade teacher at Gateway Elementary School.
“I need to relax – a lot. In a month I may end up in bed rest at the hospital, Memo-rial, so they can monitor the babies every day,” she said. “So we’re just trying to get everything ready.”

Rock slides take toll on U.S. Highway 24 over weekendBy Courier staff
The freeze-thaw cycle caught up with the cliffs along U.S. Highway 24 west of Manitou Springs last weekend, twice causing rock slides that temporarily closed the westbound lanes at mile marker 296.
The first occurred Saturday evening around 5:30 p.m. as rocks crashed down, hitting a car. The vehicle was se-verely damaged but motorists Steven Maroge and Brandy Canup were uninjured, according to KKTV 11.
The second slide came Sunday afternoon. It was smaller than the first and didn’t hit any passing vehicles.

Woodland Park man on snow bike killed in avalancheBy Courier staff
Ron Brabander, 58, of Woodland Park, was buried and killed by an avalanche while he was riding his snowbike alone on Friday near Lost Lake near Cottonwood Pass in Chaffee County.
“The death of Brabander marks the first-ever snow bike avalanche fatality in Colorado and, according to avalanche accident records the second-ever in the country,” reported the Denver Post.
A snowbike is an off-road motorcycle that converts into a snowmachine with a
narrow snowmobile-like track replacing the rear wheel and a ski up front.
According to reports, snowmobilers heard the avalanche around 11 a.m., Fri-day, on the east-facing slope. They quickly scanned the avalanche debris with their transceivers, but they did not pick up a signal.
The group alerted a Chaffee County search-and-rescue team training in the area and searchers found Brabander buried about six feet deep, according to a preliminary report by the Colorado Ava-lanche Information Center. A piece of the
snowbike was visible in the debris.“I had to ask what it was,” Chaffee
County Sheriff John Spezze told the Denver Post. “I pictured him pedaling the thing.”
Forecasters with the Colorado Ava-lanche Information Center investigated the scene on Friday. Analysis indicates either Brabander was not carrying avalanche rescue equipment or, if he was wearing an avalanche beacon, it was not working or turned on.
The slide stretched almost 1,300 feet across the ridge near the summit of Cottonwood Pass was ranked as a rela-
tively small slide path and while not large enough to gouge the landscape, level a building or break trees, it was powerful enough to bury a person.
Last year, snowmobile pioneer Polaris Industries Inc., a powersports Goliath with $4.5 billion in annual sales last year, acquired Idaho’s private Timbersled, a market leader in the blossoming snow bike industry.
Three of Colorado's four avalanche fa-talities this season have involved snowma-chines. That's more than any other state.

Forest services considers road closuresDENVER (AP) _ The U.S. Forest Service has agreed to consider closing 500 miles of roads for motorized vehicles in the Pike-San Isabel National Forest under a settlement with environ-
mental groups.The Denver Post reports (http://dpo.st/1Og9QGp ) the settlement accepted Monday requires forest offi cials to also consult with state wildlife experts to determine whether changes
must be made to protect deer and elk.The settlement is the result of a lawsuit fi led by environmental groups, which challenged roads that land managers had improperly allowed in mountains near Front Range cities.Some of the roads up for debate, near Leadville and Pikes Peak, cut across streams where banks are eroding habitat for lynx, spotted owls and other wildlife.Forest offi cials say they'll produce a plan detailing where motorized vehicles can travel without harming the environment.
