Editor’s note: This article about real estate in Woodland Park is one of a series about the market in Teller County.

As real estate sizzles in Woodland Park, buyers race to seal the contract while sellers sit back and enjoy the show. The anecdotal tales are eye-popping – homes selling within days, even hours, of the listing.

While borrowing rules have changed after sub-prime loans led up to the housing bubble in 2008, stricter guide-lines are just part of the deal these days.

“The good news is that the market is hot; the bad news is that there isn’t much inventory in that lower end, which unfortunately, is under $300,000,” said Rod Hoekert, mort-gage loan offi cer with Vectra Bank. “So it’s diffi cult to fi nd homes and diffi cult for starter families to afford housing in Woodland Park.”

Sharon Roshek, broker-owner with Coldwell Banker 1st Choice Realty, looks back to a time when supply and demand were about equal. “In more than 30 years of selling real estate, I’ve never worked with low inventory like this, especially in the $300,000 and under,” she said.

For a snapshot of the market in Woodland Park, Roshek breaks down the categories by price and volume, according to the multiple listing services.

HOMES UNDER $300,000 IN WOODLAND PARK

In this category the new normal is a dearth of inventory. For instance, in May of this year, the MLS listed 28 homes for sale compared to 107 active listings fi ve years ago.

“That is huge,” Roshek said. The number of sales is even more startling. In the last

six months in 2010, for instance, 68 homes sold in this category compared to 107 in the same time period in 2015. “Under $300,000 is the hot market,” Roshek said.

Roshek is a veteran who has survived several economic downturns, including the bubble of 2008. “In January 2010, approximately 100 agents in Teller County sold 2 homes in Woodland Park,” she said. “It was ugly; agents were hungry.”

Perhaps there was some comfort fi ve years later when, in January, approximately the same number of agents sold 10 homes in Woodland Park.

“The biggest frustration in the $300,000-and-under

Antlers Arch to showcase fi rst phase of WP public art project

See “Real Estate” on 3

WP a sellers’ market as real estate sales sizzle


The fi rst phase of public art projects by the Woodland Park Arts Alliance, the Antlers Arch is a showpiece that heralds the city’s 125th anniversary celebration on the 4th of July.

Last week, residents and passers-by on the avenue downtown watched sculptor Johnny Kehoe craft the arch with antlers intertwined around a metal frame. “I put the sculpture together with antlers shed from elk and mule deer,” said Kehoe, whose studio, JMK Designs, is in Las Cruces, N.M.

The arch is a kind of artistic beacon that harbors a view of Pikes Peak and the old rail-road station across U.S. 24. As well, the arch is the entryway to Antlers Arch Breezeway, a pathway between Cowbells gift shop, Dana’s Dance and the city parking lot.

“This is a good community feel-good thing,” said Deb Nichols, who owns Cowbells.

A $15,000 project, the arch was funded by the city of Woodland Park and Downtown Development Authority, the Holiday Home Tour, and Carla Clausen, who as the owner of Banana Belt Liquors donated the proceeds from a wine-tasting fundraiser in May.

“Johnny was good enough to work within our budget so we could get this done by the 4th of July,” said Ralph Holloway, who founded the WPAA and serves on the board of the nonprofi t organization.

Owners of short-term rentals were put on notice last month when the Green Mountain Falls board of trustees closed loopholes in the application process. “I think people are falling through the cracks and not paying their (lodging) taxes,” said Trustee David Pearlman at the meeting June 21.

“I think they’re jumping through the cracks,” said former trustee Mac Pitrone, speaking from the audience.

“En masse, Mac,” Pearlman added. As a result, Mayor Jane Newberry and

the board agreed on a $250 application fee and $50 for an annual review for owners of short-term rentals. “There should be a separate line saying that we also have a 2 percent lodging tax,” Pearlman said. “There have been so many years where people have walked out the door and that’s the last time you see them.”

In addition to the lodging tax, short-term rental owners must apply for a busi-ness license, Pearlman added.

After a year of workshops and public hearings, the town’s planning commission recommended the fees. “This is an effort by the planning commission to try to formal-ize the short-term rental issue,” Newberry said. “Not everyone has the same rules and I think the commission worked very

hard on this.” Pearlman agreed. “The rules have been

confusing the last two years,” he said. The review fee is intended to seal the

cracks. “If we did have that $50 annual review fee, I think we’d have better control on how many applications we have and I think we’d have a better hold on how much money we’re collecting,” Pearlman said, adding that there are 35 short-term rentals in Green Mountain Falls.

The board agreed that the rules would be enforced either by the clerk or the board of trustees. “The only reason somebody would be denied a renewal is if there were too many violations,” Pearlman said.

As well, the board approved the plan-ning commission’s recommendations of a $250 fi ne for the fi rst violation and up to $1,000 for subsequent infractions, in addi-tion to revocation of the short-term rental permit.

The board also approved a motion that would impose an application fee on prop-erties that were vacant within the year.

Next up for the board is a workshop July 5 to discuss a measure to ask voters to increase the lodging tax by 2 percent.

In other business, the board:• Swore into offi ce Mary Lang and

Don Ellis as members of the town’s planning commission

• Approved the amended budget of $461,297 for 2016.

GMF woman dies in accidentBy Pat [email protected]

Rochelle Stasi, 57, of Green Mountain Falls, was killed instantly in a motorcycle accident June 25 on Colo. Hwy 285 and Chaffee County Road 140. Stasi was a pas-senger on a 2007 Harley Davidson motor-cycle driven by Donald Vsetecka, 70, of Green Mountain Falls.

Vsetecka was taken to Heart of the Rockies Regional Medical Center in Salida; he sustained minor injuries.

According to State Patrol Trooper Josh Lewis, Vstecka swerved to avoid a 2004 Mitsubishi SUV which had pulled away from a stop sign onto Hwy. 285 from CR 140.

“The driver of the motorcycle lost con-trol when he tried to avoid the SUV,” Lewis said. “Vsetecka and Stasi were ejected and Stasi collided with the SUV.”

The driver of the Mitsubishi, Adrian Flores, 17, of Northglenn, was cited for careless driving causing death.

is that buyers must make a decision in a 24-hour period – and they don’t like that,” Roshek said.

In what Roshek describes as a “crazy” market, some sellers go for the gold. Last week, Roshek’s buyers offered full price on a home in the under-$300,000 category. “Twelve hours later the seller comes back - they’d raised the price by $7,000,” Roshek said. “My people were really upset because they needed a place to live.”

When the sellers failed to get the price from another buyer, they rescinded the increase and came back to the original prospects. “My buyers said ‘forget it,’” Roshek said.

The sellers’ ploy is not uncommon, Roshek said. ‘The pressure is intense in this low-end market,” she added.

HOMES IN THE $300,000 to $500,000 RANGE IN WP

With more homes, it’s easier for a buyer to reach the fi nish line. “The market here is better now than it was fi ve years ago,” Hoekert he said.

In this category, 53 homes sold in a six-month period last year but fi ve years ago, 32 homes sold. “This is another indication of a hot market, even in that price range,” Hoekert said.

Before the market turned steamy, the average sale in May 2011 took 117 days and the median price was $374,900; in May 2016, a sale took 16 days and the median was $366,500.

HOMES IN THE $500,000-and-up RANGE IN WP

In this market, ‘hot” means 23 homes sold in Woodland Park last year. In 2011, 2 homes sold. “Right now, there are 25 on the market so it still might take a year to absorb all those,” Roshek said.

As absorption rates go, it’s a one year for the high range and 1 ½ months to absorb sales in the under-300,000 range.

THE LOAN BUSINESS IN A SIZZLING MARKET

If real-estate agents are frenzied, so, too, are loan offi cers tied up. “The pressure we feel is to get the volume of loans through the system on time,” Hoekert said. “Lenders don’t typically staff up soon enough.”

As well, there are repercussions from the crash and the recession. “The regulations in the lending world are still pretty tight,” Hoekert said. “We require a lot of documen-tation from the borrowers; the Dodd-Frank legislation is part of it.”

The stiff regulations affect the apprais-ers as well, Roshek said. “The appraisal industry became highly regulated after Dodd Frank,” she said. “Appraisers have to do more work with no extra money, so we lost a bunch of appraisers during the disaster time.”

Yet Hoekert sees signs of homeown-ers extending the limits. “If you don’t have any other debt, car or student loans, make minimum payment on credit cards, you’re allowed to go up to the full 45 percent for housing, according to mortgage guidelines,” Hoekert said. “It’s pretty common that people are pushing their debt up to that 45 percent range.”

The ideal ratio of gross income to hous-ing cost is one-third of gross income per month, Hoekert said.

Whether the hot market continues is another story; however, for now, the market is on a roll.

“We fi nally have more people who are able to sell their homes after seven years of a downward market, so the fact that we have an upward market is really positive,” Hoekert said.


For Rob Perry, life seemed hopeless after a diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder and multiple combat injuries left him unable to work or even enjoy life. “I tried to kill myself twice,” he said.

Today Perry credits Heroes Pack Acad-emy and Teller County Regional Animal Shelter for restoring his sense of optimism, that life holds promise.

A pilot program founded by John Franks of Florissant, the academy teaches veterans to train service dogs for other veterans who suffer the effects of war.

“John has been a life-saver; I enjoy working with the dogs,” Perry said. “My wife and I separated but got back together and moved up here for a fresh start.”

Perry and his wife Carina and their 3-year-old daughter, Kayla, were at the shelter June 25, not only to train the dogs for veterans, but to practice marching in the Donkey Derby Days parade in Cripple Creek that afternoon.

Perry leaves his own dog at home on Saturday mornings to concentrate on the training. “This gives me something to do to give me a fresh start. It’s about being in the now not in the past,” Perry said. “The dogs calm me down and this program gets me out of the house.”

The benefi ts of Heroes Pack are recipro-cal, as both dog and military veteran have suffered wounds of some kind, physical and emotional.

“Willie Nelson is the star of Heroes Pack - he was known as the ‘Terror of Teller County,’” Perry said, pointing to a furry mixed-breed that appeared docile and obedient.

Perry joined the training circle with Pearl, a Labrador-mix considered almost a lost-cause, having been returned twice to the shelter by optimistic adoptees.

Pearl has been adopted by Jamie Martin and James Spalding, veteran of the U.S. Air Force who helps train dogs at TCRAS on Saturdays. “We’re getting the dogs to un-derstand that we’re in control of the area,” Spalding said.

The thrust of Heroes Pack, however, is teaching mindfulness. “Connect with your dog – get in the moment with the animal,” he said. “That’s when the training really starts.”

Just when the dogs were acting all-hip and with-it, one of them got loose.

“Don’t chase that dog,” Franks said, in a fi rm voice. “Nobody’s energy goes up; if your energy goes up, we’ll have a fl are-up. What we don’t do is panic.”

Eventually the dog came back and all returned to normal.

Franks founded the academy in 2013 after training service dogs for friends who served in the military. “It was therapy for myself more than anything else,” he said. “Right now there are veterans on a waiting list that takes 2 to 10 years to get through, depending on the program.”

The theme of Heroes Pack is rejuvena-tion. “We want to bring those guys out and back involved in the community, involved in these dogs,” Franks said.

“It’s a healing process for veterans,” said Keith Wilson, U.S. Army veteran of the Viet-nam War who suffers from PTSD. “I slept in the boonies in Vietnam for 18 months.”

While Wilson sees a therapist once a week, he considers Heroes Pack more effective. “When you help somebody else it helps you,” Wilson said. “Therapy is whether you’re giving it or receiving it.”

Whew! Well, that year went by awfully quick.In case you are wondering what calendar I’m operating

on, it’s the Courier Ownership Calendar.That’s right. It’s been a year since Pikes Peak Newspa-

pers Inc., the important-sounding company my wife and I created, acquired the Pikes Peak Courier.

We bought The Courier on June 26, 2015, from a com-pany in the Denver area and we promised the paper would be intensely local in its news coverage. We also declared that community matters to us and vowed you would see it in our coverage.

We sent reporters out into the far reaches of the region and came back with stories from Woodland Park, Ute Pass, Cripple Creek and Victor, Divide and beyond.

We immediately dug into the curious case of our schools and why so many families choose to commute with their

kids to Manitou Springs and beyond for their education.We also reported heroin in our community. And suicide.

Irresponsible shooting in our forests. And all the changes surrounding the new ownership of the Cripple Creek & Vic-tor Gold Mining Co.

Of course, we also wrote about a little snit surround-ing the Aquatic Center. You might remember it. Something about decisions wrongly made by elected officials in pri-vate meetings.

It caused a bit of a fuss and we pursued it vigorously because so many readers were upset by what happened. We gave voice to those who felt steamrolled by their elected officials and town staff. And we found experts who offered constructive criticism that led to a more balanced contract between the town and the school district for use of the facil-ity after it is built.

We took the same approach to covering the shenanigans in Green Mountain Falls where a new regime enacted op-pressive policies that resulted in a longtime resident being ticketed for feeding ducks and geese and other nonsense.

We reported on financial misdeeds by officials us-ing town credit cards for questionable purchases, which resulted in the clerk being fired and, ultimately, to another regime change in the April election.

Our reporters produced award-winning stories that con-tributed to the good of the community. We wrote about the American Eagles Overlook and tried to explain its historic

significance to the region.We also promised to tell the extraordinary stories of the

ordinary people who live among us. We’ve tried to do that on our news pages, in our columns as well as on our Life and Sports pages.

Along the way we added new voices to our pages, such as our series from the Golden Bridge folks, highlighting all the great programs and services available in the region.

Recently, we’ve worked to explain the issue of affordable housing and the need to make it possible for the less-afflu-ent to live in our community.

Along the way we redesigned the paper, hopefully mak-ing it more visually accessible and attractive.

We’ve made some mistakes along the way. No doubt. And you’ve told us about most of them, as I would hope. We need to know when we’re wrong so we can fix it.

But overall I’m really proud of the work our team has done in this first year. I hope you agree that we’ve done some good stuff and been an asset to Woodland Park, Ute Pass and the entire Teller County region.

I appreciate the warm welcome we received. As always, I encourage your emails and calls with suggestions, story tips or criticism. You can even holler if you just want to chat.

And thanks, again, for making The Courier your local source of news, weather and sports in the Teller County region.

It’s true, time really flies when you are having a blast

Addiction can put a monkey on your back, or even your lips

Just when I thought I’d heard it all, I find the website “What’s in my head” and read this entry:

“Hi my name is Glenna and I have a ChapStick addic-tion.”

“I don’t know how it started, exactly, but lately I just can’t stand to not have any on. I constantly put it on and now keep a stick by the bed, in the truck and in my purse. I’m starting to get worried.”

Thinking this was a put-on, I googled “ChapStick ad-diction” and was rewarded with 351,000 hits. There’s actu-ally a site called “Lip Balm Anonymous” complete with tales of people with a “Monkey on their Lips.”

Addictive behavior is a fascinating and potentially tragic personality trait. Wikipedia defines “addiction” as “an obsession, compulsion or excessive physical depen-dence or psychological dependence such as: drug addic-

tion, alcoholism, crime, compulsive overeating, problem gambling, computer addiction, etc.”

In medical terminology, addiction is a state in which the body relies on a substance for normal functioning and develops a physical dependence – as in a drug addiction. When the drug or substance is removed, it causes with-drawal symptoms.

The common usage of the term addiction, however, has spread to include psychological dependence and compulsive behavior – like constantly applying ChapStick to your lips.

The website Addition List claims the top 10 addictions are coffee, gambling, anger, food and the internet, closely followed by sex, alcoholism, drugs, nicotine and work.

The term addictive personality has been used to refer to a recurrent pattern observed in many alcoholics and other substance abusers consisting of impulsivity, imma-turity, poor frustration tolerance, anxiety and depression.

A study done by the National Academy of Sciences concluded that there is no single set of psychological characteristics that embrace all addictions. Researchers, however, did find some common traits.

The study listed the “significant personality factors” contributing to addiction as impulsive behavior, difficulty in delaying gratification, anti-social personality and a disposition toward sensation seeking. The addicts studied also exhibited a high level of non-conformity and a weak

commitment to achieving goals valued by society.Other personality traits were a sense of social alien-

ation, a general tolerance for deviance and a sense of heightened stress. The latter may explain why adolescence and other stressful transition periods are often associated with the most severe drug and alcohol problems.

How can you tell if someone has an addictive disorder? Some common characteristics and behaviors include making impulsive choices, constantly seeking excitement and new sensations, expressing feelings of alienation from mainstream society, valuing non-conformist behavior and lacking patience.

Not every addict has a personality disorder and not every person with a personality disorder has an addiction. However, borderline personality disorder and anti-social personality disorder do seem to have a connection to ad-diction.

If you suspect that you or a loved one has an addictive disorder, the place to start is with your family physician.

And, if you’re concerned you may be addicted to Chap-Stick, google “ChapStick Addiction Quiz” and take the 15 question quiz.

50 Years Ago – The Ute Pass Courier on July 7, 1966Ambulance Lifeline: One of the biggest disadvantages of living in the mountains is the inaccessibility of hospitals in times of emergency. Until recently, if a person need-ed transportation by ambulance, they had to wait for one dispatched out of Colorado Springs. All of this has changed, though. Just a year ago a group of civic-minded business-men in Woodland Park banded together to form the Ute Pass Ambulance Inc., giving us ambulance service to the Springs that now takes half the time than before. The only am-bulance in Teller County, it is fully equipped

with red light, siren, emergency equipment, first-aid equipment and oxygen.

Loan secured: Congress has approved a loan of $2.1 million to the Intermountain Ru-ral Electric Association. The news arrived at The Courier by telegram from Frank Evans. The money will finance construction of 192 miles of distribution line to serve 1,745 new customers as well as five miles of system im-provements, three new substations and con-version of 199 miles of existing line.

Gambles open: The Woodland Park Gam-bles store has moved to its new location in the Woodland Square buildings on Midland Av-enue. Crews transferred the store’s inventory to the new shelves Friday night and the doors opened for business Saturday. The Woodland Square complex is being put up at a cost of about $100,000. When completed, besides Gambles it will have a beauty shop and barber shop. There will be off-street parking for 100 cars. In its 2,880-square-foot store, Gambles will sell its regular line plus large appliances, television sets, stereo radios and phono-

graphs.

Street signs: Donations are still needed to complete the job of putting up the remainder of the new street signs.

Stampede Sale: Get ready to whoop and holler at the Ute Trail Stampede. Put your Ro-deo Outfit on lay-away now. On sale: ladies bell-bottom denims. Be sure to visit our sad-dle department. Ask about bank financing.

A number of historians claim that Spencer Penrose was so impressed with the first automobiles ability to climb a new road up the Ute Pass that he decided then and there to build the Pikes Peak highway.

“Colorado’s roads were an abomination all through that pioneer motoring period. As late as 1912, only a handful of tourists dared to risk their cars on visit to the Springs,” wrote Marshall Sprague in his 1971 book “One Hundred Plus: A Centennial Story of Colorado Springs.”

“A year later, car traffic increased with the opening of the new Lincoln Highway up Ute Pass. Penrose was so im-pressed with the ease the huffing Reos and Olds and Win-tons climbed the pass without blowing up that he decided an auto road to the top of Pikes Peak was both feasible and dramatic enough to make news,” wrote Sprague.

“He was encouraged in this view on July 17, 1913 when two Denver daredevils, H. Brown and J.F. Bradley, drove a Buick Bearcat to the summit in four hours — the first car to go all the way.”

Upon learning of these successes, Penrose and several friends decided to seek permission from the U.S Depart-ment of Agriculture to build a highway to the top of the Peak along an existing horse carriage road that had been used at least since 1889.

He was reportedly warned that it could cost as much as $25,000 and was not likely to be profitable in that it would compete with the Cog Railway.

Penrose proceeded anyway on the road in 1915 and it ended up costing nearly a quarter of million dollars of his own money.

The road up Ute Pass was accelerated as much of the highway construction in Colorado near the turn of the century by use of convict labor beginning in 1905.

“Convicts built many of the first paved roads … includ-ing the State Highway from Pueblo to Leadville and the scenic highways in Big Thompson, Boulder, Colorado River and St. Vrain canyons, and the Ute Pass Road con-necting Colorado Springs to Leadville,” says the “Historical Atlas of Colorado (1993),” by Thomas Noel, Paul Mahoney, and Richard Stevens.

“At first many felt that the wealthy who owned autos should build their own roads, as millionaire Spencer Pen-rose did,” notes the Atlas. “Penrose, who bought a new car each year, constructed a highway to the top of Pikes Peak as the ultimate challenge for motor cars.”

A few years ago, “Super Slab” discussions about a toll road east of I-25 brought to the fore a long history of toll road building in Colorado and here in the Pikes Peak

region. The Pikes Peak Toll Road helps make the peak the most

visited mountain in North America with over a half million visitors annually. It was completed in 1916. And within the last decade, a company called CTRI Incorporated looked at the possibility of building another toll road from Wood-land Park into the Divide area. And Gold Camp Road was of course a toll road shortly after the tracks were pulled up.

But at the height of the gold rush in the Cripple Creek District, many access roads in required paying a fee.

“The only road into the district that didn’t charge a toll was from Florissant,” noted local rail historian Mel McFar-land. “That is why the railroads were so popular when they arrived.”

Daniel B. Klein, a toll road researcher and Santa Clara University professor, estimates there were at least 350 turnpikes in early Colorado prior to 1902.

“Unlike the areas served in by the earlier turnpikes and plank roads, Colorado, Nevada and California ... lacked settled communities and social networks induced partici-pation in community enterprise and improvement. Min-

ers and merchants served them knew the mining boom would not continue indefinitely and therefore seldom-planted roots, ” wrote Klein.

According to author Mathew E. Salek, road building was a concern in Colorado even in the 1860s.

“When Colorado became a territory in 1861, the Kansas Legislature already had authorized some toll roads and bridges, one of which was the toll bridge over the Arkansas River at Pueblo, built in 1860. Otto Mears built some 300 miles of toll roads in and around the San Juan Mountains, including what is today the Million Dollar Highway, US 550, in the 1880s,” wrote Salek in Colorado Highways: His-tory.

By the 1920s, Salek says the Colorado Department of Highways was spending $2.5 million annually on roads.

“Convict labor was used extensively to build roads in Colorado beginning in 1905,” says Salek. “The materials needed — lime, gravel, and stone — were quarried from an area conveniently located behind the state prison at Canon City. ... Colorado led the country in the use of con-vict labor until ending it in 1926.”

Taking a toll: Build your own roads

RESTLESS NATIVE Rob [email protected]

More than new cars were test-driven up mighty Pikes Peak!

In April 1919, a trip was scheduled to bring a “battle scarred” veteran of World War I from Fort Riley, Kan., to Colorado for the public to see.

This veteran was a tank and the Army was

proud to show off its latest weapon: a refine-ment of giant tanks built for “the war to end all wars.”

The tank was one built by Wippett, a car builder of the day. It would be driven by veter-ans from Colorado and regular soldiers from Fort Riley.

The machine, when it arrived in Colorado Springs, was christened “Little Zeb” (after Zebulon Pike). Local mechanics went over it, adjusting the motor for the altitude before giv-ing it a test drive to the top of Pikes Peak.

Unlike the modern, paved road to the sum-mit commonly used by car manufacturers to

test-drive new cars, the roads were dirt back then.

And the one up Pikes Peak was still covered with snow in places. They would not even try to get it open until late May! But Little Zeb was pointed uphill and sent up the road.

It was thought that they would need two days to get to the top. The first day going to Glen Cove. If it was really good they might get to the top in one day.

The trip started well. The tank crawled along at about 15 mph. Then they found trees down that had to be cut up or moved.

As a result, the trip took two days to get to

Glen Cove. The soldiers, veterans and a film crew camped out along the way.

A message at the cove said: Return to Colo-rado Springs. This was taking too long.

Later in the summer, another, newer tank arrived. This one had been lightened and used different style tracks.

The machine chugged right up to the sum-mit, even rolling over a few snow drifts.

The trip took two days, one up, one down. Pictures were taken. Then it was loaded on a train and little more was said.

Today you can buy a postcard on the sum-mit showing the tank.

Letter to the EditorHopes problems with cemetery cleanup are fixed

To the Editor,

I read the article in the Courier about the mess at the cemetery and I was upset also, as a patriotic cross on my husband’s grave was thrown away. Fortunately, they didn’t throw away the little ceramic rabbit.

I was at the cemetery that Saturday morning, from 9 to

11 a.m., and when we arrived we were given a piece of paper that explained what we could and could not throw away. I also saw the signs that said “Leave plot as is.”

Those of us who were there Saturday did what we were told to do, threw away old, faded, torn, or broken decora-tions. We did not touch anything new or disturb the plots that had the signs.

What happened after that I have no idea, but when I went into City Hall Monday, they told me what had hap-pened and how justifiably upset many families were.

When I was there, a woman introduced herself and I

think she said she was the president of Keep WP Beautiful. I don’t know who cleaned up the cemetery before, but

I’m sure whatever problems there were this year will be straightened out before next summer.

I find the cemetery a peaceful place and am glad that sometime in the future I will be buried next to my husband in a lovely grove of aspens.

Sincerely, Rusty MerrillWoodland Park

For 60 years, it has been Christmas year round at a little family-owned amuse-ment park known as North Pole - Home of Santa’s Workshop in Cascade on the Pikes Peak Highway.

And in those six decades since the park opened in 1956, very few things have changed at the mountainside park where Santa is the star and all the attractions stick to the Christmas theme.

Austin Lawhorn, daughter of the park's owner, Tom Haggard, has grown up with the park and credits much of its popularity to the fact it retains its innocence and still resembles the Alpine Village that opened in 1956 even though it has grown and changed over the years.

“When the park opened in 1956, it was just a village,” said Lawhorn, noting the park has added many new rides and attrac-tions.

But goal of the park is still the same. “We are not changing who we are,” said

Lawhorn. Lawhorn would know, having gone

from sweeping and cleaning the park for extra allowance money to helping with merchandise, ads, and public relations.

Over the years the park was trans-formed from a tiny village of log buildings where guests found a tic-tac-toe playing chicken, a dancing monkey, puppeteers,

glassblowers, candlemakers and Santa and Mrs. Claus.

It was patterned after an identical village in Lake Placid, N.Y., designed by Arto Monaco, a former Walt Disney artist.

Disney even paid the park a visit during a well-documented trip to Colorado Springs.

The North Pole’s fi rst amusement park attraction, the Mine Ride, opened in 1958. Later in the season, the Stage Coach and an authentic Fire Engine were featured.

The park has grown progressively, sprawling across 25 acres and featuring more than two dozen classic carnival rides, seven gift shops and even live shows. A highlight is the Ferris wheel that spins riders high above the forest trees for a spectacular view of Ute Pass.

Lawhorne said the rides the family adds to the park are never modern gimmicky rollercoaster and the like. They are only interested in rides that are timeless pieces of history.

In the late 1970s and early ‘80s, the park began to add vintage rides. The park now houses a carousel that is almost 100 years old, as well as its signature red-and-white

striped slide that has been there since the beginning.

“We see the value in them, and they give people a very unique experience,” said Lawhorn.

Lawhorn said that they do in fact have classic amusement park rides such as the Tilt-A-Whirl and the Scrambler, and a ski-type lift. But the majority of the rides are vintage.

Lawhorn is very proud of the mainte-nance staff at the park, because they have to work on very old rides that not a lot of workers would know how to fi x.

Lawhorn said that the family has been offered to be bought out several times, but has and always will refuse the offer.

With the 60th anniversary of the park, the family and staff are working on an interactive maze equipped with lights and sounds that will be open this season, but the date of completion is to be determined.

Lawhorn said that she does not go a day without someone coming up to her and telling her that he or she was at the park as a kid, and now they are back with their children or grandchil-dren.

About 80 percent of cus-tomers are repeat guests, having visited the park at some point previously in their lives.

“Our goal is to meet the expectations of the custom-ers that know what it was like and how it should be,” Lawhorn said.

‘Brawn at Dawn’ kicks off Panthers football season

Woodland Park HS football gears up for season starting in the weight room By Danny [email protected]

The Woodland Park High School football team kicked off its 2016 season on July 6 when players reported for “Brawn at Dawn,” otherwise known as weight training. For the next six weeks or so, players will meet – voluntarily – several times a week in the school’s weight room in an attempt to become lean, mean fighting machines.

July 6 also marks the beginning of the Panthers’ sum-mer 7-on-7 summer league at Harrison. Teams have been competing in 7-on-7 leagues forever. The purpose, of course, is to build continuity with your skilled position players on both sides of the ball.

Woodland Park head coach Joe Roskam, who recently underwent an appendectomy, is back for his sixth season at the helm. He is committed to building the Panthers into a consistent winner and state champion.

Roskam and his club have actually been prepping for this season since last fall. Many of the players have been in the weight room on a consistent basis, or participated in spring drills.

Roskam, like many of his contemporaries, is as much a tactician and he is a rah-rah guy. He leads by example. He is always looking forward. He works tirelessly to develop younger players by teaching them how to play the game the right way.

Roskam is vice president of Panther Football Club, which started in 2013. The club is designed for youths 7 to 13. From July 11-14, Roskam will lead a summer camp for kids at Gateway Elementary School.

Panther Football Club has joined Pikes Peak Pop Warner

this season. It was with Colorado Springs Parks and Rec.Some of Roskam’s varsity players will help coach the

youth camp, including senior linebacker Orion Drummond, senior back/receiver Christian Cox and junior running back Dominic Roskam (the coach’s son). Those three guys figure to play key roles in the success of this year’s Panthers’ squad.

There is never a dull moment in coach Roskam’s football world. He attends coaches clinics when time allows and is always trying to come up with new and innovative ways to help his team get an edge.

From July 18-28, Woodland Park will host a team camp at the high school. That will be followed by a scrimmage at Ponderosa on July 29. After two more weeks of “Brawn at Dawn,” the team will have its first official day of practice at Blue Mountain Ranch in Florissant. The players will stay at the historic grounds for three days before heading back to the high school for “Midnight Madness” on Aug. 17.

“Midnight Madness” is a concept Roskam came up with

when he took over the program. Literally, the team begins practice at midnight. The community is invited to come out and watch. It is a festive evening that really embodies the soul of what Roskam is trying to teach his young men.

But the fun doesn’t end there. On Aug. 19, players and coaches will gather for a team camp out at Christian Cox’s home in Divide. Christian’s mother, Kasha, is the president of Panther Football Club and the team mom for the high school team.

There will be other team-bonding events throughout the summer leading up to the Panthers’ first game against Eliza-beth on Sept. 2 in the stadium. Roskam and his players are hoping that is the first of 14 games they will play this season. Of course, the ultimate goal is to win Game 14.

Will you join me in rooting for the Panthers as they embark on their football journey over the next five months? Let’s hope this season is a memorable one for the entire community.

Troy Calhoun speaks at Pikes Peak Rotary Club functionAir Force football coach keeps busy during off-season speaking all over the world Danny [email protected]

When Troy Calhoun is not coaching football for the Air Force

Academy, you can usually find the Northgate resident talking football to just about anyone who will listen.

On June 24, the long-time Falcons head coach was at Denny’s Restaurant in Woodland Park as a guest of the Pikes Peak Rotary Club He talked about this year’s team and fielded questions from members of the community.

“We do a good number of things like this to be part of the community,” Calhoun said. “I get to at least 30 of these functions a year.

“People in the Rotary Club and other service organizations are invaluable to a community. That’s something we try to stress to our (cadets) that if you’re going to live in a community do things to be part of that community and take an active role.”

The Woodland Park event was organized by Ethan Rector of the Pikes Peak Rotary Club.

“The Air Force Academy contacted our club and I immediate-ly was gung ho about it and see if we could get him to come up here,” Rector said. “It’s great to have coach come up here and talk to us. This is a great thing for our club and the community.”

Among those in attendance at the Denny’s breakfast was Jed Bowman, Woodland Park School District’s superintendent. Bowman’s father, Jim, was a long-time assistant coach at the academy.

“I think this is awesome that coach is up here to our Rotary today,” Bowman said.

Being the head coach at a nationally-known university, Cal-houn is busy with football most every day of the year. On July 6

he will be at the Cheyenne Mountain Resort for the annual Colo-rado Sports Corporation College Football Kick-Off Luncheon.

In February Calhoun logged 20,000 miles as part of the Armed Forced Entertainment Coaches Tour. He was joined by new San Francisco 49ers head coach Chip Kelly among others. They talked to crowds at Ramstein Air Base in Germany, Aviano Air Base in Italy, and to groups in various Middle Eastern countries.

“That was a lot of fun,” said Calhoun, who also has NFL coaching experience as an assistant with the Denver Broncos and Houston Texans. “What we want to do more than anything else is let people know what’s going on here at the Air Force Academy.”

Calhoun has enjoyed great success in his first nine seasons as the Air Force head coach, piling up 59 victories. A 1989 graduate of the school, he has directed the Falcons to eight bowl games and seven winning seasons. Last December, Air Force lost to California, 55-36, in the Armed Forces Bowl. Cal was quarter-backed by Jared Goff, the first pick in this year’s NFL Draft.

In January, Calhoun brought potential recruits to the Acad-emy from five different time zones. In April and May he and his staff visited more than one thousand high schools around the nation.

Among the Tri-Lakes area recruits that will play for the Acad-emy this year is recent Palmer Ridge graduate Isaiah Sanders and Lewis-Palmer alum Joseph Scott, who spent a year at the Air Force Prep School.

Another Palmer Ridge grad, George Silvanic, will play football for the Prep School this season and hopes to be a Falcon in time for the 2017 season.

“Isaiah will jump in there this fall, but he has to go through basic training coming up here and that’s going to be a tough little go,” Calhoun said with a grin. “I think the quality of this class is going to be really good, but of course you don’t see all the pluses of that for probably three years down the road so you have to be patient.”
