Hunt continues for rare WP bank robber Suspect may be connected to 2015 heist in Colorado Springs

By Evan [email protected]

Last July 7, a man wearing a gray sweatshirt, a black beanie and large sunglasses did something that hasn’t been seen in Woodland Park in decades: He robbed a bank.

The robber walked into Peoples Bank on a foggy, rainy day, placed a bag on the counter and demanded money. Then he disappeared into the mist.

Police are still investigating the robbery, but have no leads. But they have a new theory about the man behind the sunglasses.

Last week, police said they believe the same suspect robbed a bank in Colorado Springs, just a few days prior to the July 7, 2015, robbery.

The week prior to the July heist, Northstar Bank at 3216 W. Colorado Ave., was also robbed.

Woodland Park Police Det. Glen Jardon believes the two robberies are connected.

“Because of the (method of the robber) and the photos from that bank, we were able to determine it was that person,” Jardon said.

Sales tax proposal criticized WP council supports RE-2 sales-tax ballot initiativeBy Norma [email protected]

The effort by Woodland Park School District RE-2 to increase the city sales tax to provide funding for schools suf-fered a blow Thursday before the City Council.

Councilman Phil Mella said he couldn’t support the sales tax because it “would disproportionately adversely impact lower-income people.”

Many critics view sales taxes as regressive because they don’t discriminate between the rich and poor, as do income taxes and property taxes. Sales taxes applied to groceries come under even harsher criticism in many circles.

Mella voiced similar concerns when the council took up a resolution to support the sales tax issue on the April 5 ballot.

Mella said he and most of the other councilmembers support affordable, entry-level housing and the sales tax would economically injure the “very people you’re purport-ing to help.”

Mella also criticized the plan, which calls for the district to retire a 6.725 mill property tax if the sales tax passes. He noted lowering property taxes only benefi ts homeowners and the more affl uent. Again, he said the poor families who

Habitat for Humanity builds homes with students’ helpBy Evan [email protected]

The Sherwood Forest Estates subdivision near Divide is not a typical destination for college students on spring break.

But students in the Habitat for Humanity Collegiate Challenge program aren’t typical.

Instead of heading to the mountains to ski, or to a beach for keggers and wet T-shirt contests, dozens of

students from schools around the country will spend their break helping build homes for the nation’s working poor.

Beginning this week, Habitat teams will be in Sher-wood Forest volunteering on two homes, being built for those who may not be able to afford a home otherwise.

“We are very fortunate to have these students spending their spring break giving of their time and efforts to build homes in our community,” said Jamie Caperton, executive director of Habitat for Humanity of Teller County.

Colleen Urffer, volunteer coordinator, said this is not the fi rst time students working with the nonprofi t housing

agency have built homes in the Teller County area. “Last year, we had two groups, one from Iowa, one

from Michigan,” said Urffer. The group helped build two homes in the Cripple Creek area.

“It went really well,” she said, despite the weather be-ing cold and snowy.

In all, the nonprofi t has built 30 homes in the Teller County area since 1999. The 31st and 32nd will be in Sher-wood Forest.

Ballots to be mailed; still time to registerBy Courier staff

The Woodland Park City Clerk’s offi ce will begin mailing ballots for the city’s April 5 election and there’s still time to register to vote.

Ballots will be mailed to active voters between March 15-18. They can be returned by mail or deliv-ered to the City Clerk’s offi ce, 220 W. South Ave., no later than 7 p.m., April 5.

Voters will elect a new mayor, to serve a two-year term, and three members of the City Council, each to serve four-year terms.

In addition, voters will decide on a request from Woodland Park School District RE-2 to increase the city sales tax by 1.09 percent to generate $1.8 million annually to repair school buildings, provide innova-tive classes and technology, offer college-preparatory classes and raise teacher salaries.

Voters also will decide whether to approve nine amendments to the city’s charter.

Residents who aren’t registered to vote can fi ll out a form at City Hall or go online to the Secretary of State’s website at sos.state.co.us. Ballots will also be available at the offi ce, for voters who did not receive one in the mail.

To register, you must prove you’ve lived in Colo-rado for at least 22 days prior to the election. You can register right up to 6:55 p.m. on election day.

need the district’s help the most would suf-fer.

“Those particular people are likely to be renters who won’t benefi t from the mill levy reduction,” Mella said.

Against his objections, the resolution passed with Councilmen Ken Matthews and Bob Carlsen absent.

In other action Thursday, the Woodland Aquatic Project received a $200,000 shot in the arm from Newmont North America’s Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Co.

Community Affairs Manager Jane Man-non delivered the good news and the big check.

Mayor Neil Levy thanked the mining company for having faith in the project, which is the city’s biggest capital project ever.

The meeting’s short agenda also provided time for other presentations, including spe-cial Historical Mural recognition to several people who gave exceptional support to the “The Story of Us” mural project on the east side of the Ute Pass Cultural Center.

Ralph Holloway, who founded the Woodland Arts Alliance; mural community chair Scott Steerman and mural artist Lois Sprague gave framed photos of the mural to Woodland Park Police Chief Miles DeYoung, Gary Crane, former Mayor and chair of the Historic Preservation Committee; Main Street Program Coordinator Darlene Jensen; Brian Fleer, executive director of the Down-town Development Authority and Levy and City Manager David Buttery, representing the city.

In other news:• Council approved a resolution reserving

24 multi-family water taps for the Valley View Apartments. The developers will pay $200 per tap to reserve them until needed. Councilmember John Schafer

stepped away from the discussion and vote because he is part of AmericaWest Housing Solutions, which owns the project.

• Levy announced that RE-2 has a num-ber of student art pieces available for lo-cal businesses to display in their shops and offi ces. Call the school district for more information.

• Fleer gave his monthly report on the Downtown Development Authority and city economic development. The report included a spreadsheet from Charis Bible College that shows almost half of college’s staff and students now live in Teller County and the number of those who live in Colorado Springs has de-clined steadily over the last three years.

• About a third of Trail Ridge Apartment residents attend or work at the college and a Trail Ridge Apartments II project is being explored.

• The Colorado Department of Local Affairs has partially or fully funded three Main Street Program projects for this summer: Woodland Station Kiosk Signage, a Downtown Walkability Study and a Visioning Plan for the future of Woodland Park’s downtown.

• The authority board is working on a payment plan to repay the city its $1.1 million loan and a revenue-sharing plan to help the Northeast Teller County Fire Protection District. Both plans will be brought to City Council, probably within the next 30 days.

• Fleer announced that the Woodland Park Farmers Market will be moved to Woodland Station lot 2, west of Wood-land Hardware. The city will be leveling the property and improving parking on the site for this summer’s markets.

However, Colorado Springs Police Det. Kory Dabb, who is investigating the North-star robbery, doesn’t necessarily agree.

“I can’t say one way or the other,” he said, though acknowledging it was a “simi-lar style robbery.”

Dabb said that determining if the two robbers are the same person will require signifi cant data collection, including inter-views, phone records and more.

Both CSPD and WPPD continue to work

their respective cases.People’s Bank declined to comment on

events that occurred. “Right now, we don’t have any active

leads. We’ve followed everything out that we could with Colorado Springs,” said Jardon.

Anyone who has information on the robbery is encouraged to contact WPPD at 687-9262 and leave information for Jardon.

School sales tax Q&A offers detail of funding questionBy Courier staff

Many questions surround the sales tax increase being sought from voters by the Woodland Park School District RE-2.

The district is offering to retire a 6.725 mill levy, or property tax, if voters approve a 1.09 percent sales tax increase, which is projected to generate about $1.8 million a year for the district. (A mill is $1 of tax on every $1,000 of a property’s assessed value. So 6.725 mills equals about $6.72 on every $1,000.)

If voters agree to the swap, property taxes will, indeed, go down and save homeowners in the school district about $54 for each $100,000 of assessed valuation. The savings for businesses would be $195 for $100,000 of assessed valuation.

A website created to promote the sales tax initiative includes a lengthy question-and-answer section.

Here is an overview of the site, citizenssupportwpsd.com, and the Q&A page:

State funding for the district has decreased by about $15 million over the past 6 years. To compensate for these cuts, the district has reduced staff, frozen salaries, ad-justed bus routes and changed elementary start times, reduced the number of classes a student can take in a day, increased fees and pared down programs. WPSD teacher compensation remains at the bottom in comparison to

our neighbors and competitors.The district wants to increase school funding while

decreasing property taxes. Normally, increased local funding for school districts comes from passing a mill levy override.

Woodland Park is unique in that local funding for the school district is one of the lowest in the region. Yet, Wood-land Park has the highest property taxes in the region. So instead of seeking a mill levy override, a sales tax is being proposed.

A sales tax increase of 1.09 percent would take Wood-land Park’s sales tax to 7.99 percent. Schools would benefit by getting money from tourists and shoppers who come from outside our region. All of the revenues generated from the proposed sales tax would be used exclusively by the school district for educational, operational or facility needs.

Part of the sales tax revenue will be used to eliminate the school district’s current bond mill levy of 6.725 mills paid by property owners. This provides relief annually of approximately $54 for a $100,000 residence, or $195 for a $100,000 business.

A sales tax increase of 1.09 percent is the equivalent of slightly over one penny per dollar spent. The estimated household income in Woodland Park is slightly over $62,000, and according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, households averaging $62,000 annual income would spend approximately $14,193 annually on items that

would be taxable in Woodland Park. Using these averages, this equates to an annual increase in sales tax of $154.70.

The 2015 median home value in Woodland Park is nearly $288,000, with an approximate property tax of $2,000. With the general obligation bond mill levy payoff, the property tax for that $288,000 home becomes $1,846, which is a decrease in real estate tax of approximately $154.00.

So, considering the average assumptions, this would be neutral impact for the average homeowner with an average income and expenditures in Woodland Park. Obvi-ously, if one’s home is valued greater than $288,000 or if a household spends less than $14,193 in Woodland Park annually, the yearly value could be more.

The state can not use those revenues against the dis-trict when figuring the amount that the district will receive from the state.

The remaining 22.550 general fund mills are estab-lished by the state as the minimum number of mills (prop-erty tax) from local support.

The sales tax increase would take effect July 1. Once sales tax revenue starts flowing into the district, the gen-eral obligation bonds will be paid off through the issuance of a Certificate of Participation, eliminating approximately 6.725 mills to all RE-2 property owners.

The property owners will see this elimination of mills on their 2017 property tax bill.

Voters asked to let city offer builder incentivesBy Norma [email protected]

Should the Woodland Park City Council be allowed to use taxpayer money and resources, or waive certain fees, as incen-tives to encourage a development project elected officials believe will promote the public good?

That’s the question behind the most controversial of nine proposed amend-ments to the City Charter that voters will decide in the April 5 mail ballot election.

Voters also will select a mayor and three members of the City Council as well as decide whether to increase the city sales tax to benefit the Woodland Park School District RE-2.

City Councilman John Schafer said question nine could help the city fill gaps in housing by encouraging construction of affordable homes for its workforce and growing number of senior citizens.

But voters would have to agree to amend Section 9.17, which prohibits the use of city funds to help private projects. It was not part of the original charter. It was added to the charter by a vote in 1988 after Walmart tried to build a store in the city.

There were attempts to repeal Sec-tion 9.17 in 2001 and 2012. Both attempts failed spectacularly. This time the amend-ment would change the section instead of repealing it.

“This amendment would give council

the flexibility to at least look at projects,” he said. “The city has had its hands tied when it comes to getting developers to build moderately priced projects.”

He described “public purpose” as de-velopment that would “enhance the public good.” This could include medical centers, business development, vocational schools, community colleges and moderately priced housing.

If young workers can’t afford to live in the area, they leave or don’t come here, Schafer said.

“A family making $35,000 a year will spend about $30,000 of it locally each year,” he said. “The cost of waiving a few fees for affordable housing development would be offset by increases in property and sales tax revenues.”

He added that projects meeting the “public purpose” definition would also help the area’s rapidly increasing senior population.

“We think the local economy needs a kick in the pants,” he said. “And this (amendment) will help.”

As for the other eight proposed amendments:

Ballot Issue 2 would simplify the city’s initiative, referendum and recall proce-dures and bring them in line with state law, which has changed over the years. This is an operational-efficiency issue.

Ballot Issue 3 would revise the city’s term limits for the mayor and City Council members. They’d be allowed to serve eight

consecutive years, or two full terms, after being elected. Any years they served as unelected appointees to office would not count against their term limits as they do now.

Ballot Issue 4 would extend the time the city would have to fill vacancies on City Council or in the mayor’s office. Eliminat-ing the existing 30-day deadline would allow the city to advertise for these posi-tions, and give the council the option of calling a special election if it couldn’t agree on an appointment.

Ballot Issue 5 would give the city manager more time to submit the annual financial report, allowing time to receive the results of the annual audit.

Ballot Issue 6 would save the city money by allowing it to buy insurance rather than surety bonds for officers and employees who handle city funds.

Ballot Issue 7 would save money by al-lowing the city to keep just one hard copy of any code adopted by reference on file in the City Clerk’s office, instead of three.

Ballot Issue 8 also would save money by allowing the council to choose how it publishes legal documents.

Finally, Ballot Issue 10 would improve efficiency by allowing the city to sell, ex-change or dispose of any public easement by resolution instead of by ordinance, sav-ing both time and money.

This story could have come from anywhere at any time, but it happened over a hundred years ago.

I will save some details until the end, to make it a better story. The exact spot of the story really is not that impor-tant, but I suspect it was in a certain spot.

On Midland Avenue in Woodland Park, many of the businesses noticed, at first, that there were a number of new people in town of a suspicious nature.

There were some strange things going on in the Cripple Creek District that had even the folks in Ute Pass on guard.

An explosion at a Florence and Cripple Creek railroad station had killed several miners. The district camps were putting “troublemakers” into locked box cars and shipping them far out of state into lonely areas, just to get rid of them for a while.

So, were these new people some of the “troublemakers” heading into the district? No one was certain, but then the businesses started finding that items were missing!

The town marshal was called upon to look into the matter. He started watching for strangers on the street, not just at night. It did not take him that long to check the usual spots along the railroad tracks, and even back in the trees.

He called on the sheriff for some help. A deputy arrived, and they set up a spot to watch.

The visitors were indeed cautious. They, too, had a lookout posted. At a point in the evening, not long after sunset, the marshal and the deputy were sure that everyone had been accounted for.

A Midland train bound for Cripple Creek arrived in town. As quickly and quietly as possible, the doors on a boxcar were locked, and it was added to the train. These visitors had selected a quiet boxcar that was sitting on a side track. Soon, it was on its way to Cripple Creek, but it had an unusual load.

When it arrived in Cripple Creek and the doors were opened, the sheriff found the visitors and most of the items that had turned up missing, including some furni-ture!

I bet he found them a new place to stay for a while, with bars.

CABOOSE COBWEBSMel McFarland

Hopefully, everyone has been reading the question-and-answer series reporter Pat Hill has been conducting with area political candidates.

Her stories have given residents of Woodland Park and Green Mountain Falls important information about where each candidate stands.

I want to point out, in particular, her conversations with the three men – Neil Levy, Noel Sawyer and Mike Maddux – running for mayor of Woodland Park. It was featured on page 3A of last week’s paper.

Pat’s reporting should help voters in the April 5 election make an educated decision on the distinct choices facing them. If you didn’t read them, please do. Then make sure you are registered and be sure to cast your ballot.

The decision on mayor, alone, will determine in large part the direction Woodland Park takes in the immediate future.

It’s an interesting race that offers a stark contrast in can-didates and vision for the city.

Levy was appointed mayor in 2014 and is well-known for owning the Swiss Chalet, where he started in 1991 and bought in 1999. He and his wife have three sons and he coaches the Woodland Park High School baseball team. Schools are a priority for him as is affordable housing to make Woodland Park more attractive to young families.

Noel Sawyer was elected to the City Council in April 2014. He has lived in Woodland Park since 2001 and coaches Woodland Park High School boys soccer. He is married and has a teenage son. He works for Oracle Corp. as a database administrator and also has his own computer business.

Mike Maddux competed with Levy for the mayoral ap-pointment in 2014. He and his family moved to Woodland Park in 1985 and left town before returning 17 years ago. He works at the Colorado Springs Sports Corp., plays guitar for the Colorado Springs Contemporary Big Band, is a software engineer and consultant.

If you read Pat’s stories, you’ll see distinct differences in the three men. They came through most vividly when asked about the council’s recent handling of the Aquatic Center’s move from downtown to a lot near the high school.

Levy defended the council against complaints it wrong-ly acted in private and should have included the town’s residents in the decision process. He also stated, as he did during council meetings, that he believes voters expected elected officials to make difficult decisions without putting them to a public vote.

Sawyer, who participated in the Aquatic Center issue, has a much different view. He has a plan for making the council more transparent to residents using social media and by engaging civic groups.

Maddux said he was hearing from voters the council needs to do a better job being open in its decision-making and he plans open forums if elected.

Perhaps most interesting was Sawyer’s suggestion the current council had given too much power to City Manager

David Buttery.“We need to pull back a little of that power and give it

back to the people,” Sawyer said, signaling a distinct change of course for the council, if he’s elected.

Sawyer also sounded more aggressive in addressing the Charis Bible College and issues it has created in terms of fire protection and ambulance service. Some criticize the college because it is creating new demand for service but not paying for it.

“The current powers-that-be have already tried to work with Charis and got turned down,” Sawyer said. “I think we need different representation to go in there and work out a proposal to benefit the city and the college.”

That’s not exactly Donald Trump trash-talking his op-ponents as losers, choke artist and liars. But it’s a stinging indictment of Levy and Buttery for their handling of a grow-ing concern of many in the community.

There’s much more. And then there’s the candidates for City Council. Read up on them. And then go see them for yourself at the candidate forum scheduled 6 p.m., Wednes-day, March 16 at the City Council Chambers in City Hall.

The future of Woodland Park depends on people like you exercising your right to vote. And you need to be in-formed before you cast your ballot.

Three candidates for mayor, three very different choices

Neil Levy Mike Maddux Noel Sawyer

The Independence Platform, 1904


It is a bit too easy for us to wag our fingers at the people of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy for choosing the likes of Hitler and Mussolini.

It is a little more difficult to reconcile and understand our own political shortcomings right here in Colorado.

In one of the more embarrassing chapters of Colo-rado conservative history, Clarence Morley, the Ku Klux Klan-picked Republican candidate, became governor of Colorado in 1925.

“In the spring of 1924, Klan members packed the precinct caucuses of both the Democratic and Republican parties, then supported Klan candidates in the primary and general elections.” according to a 2003 article by Ed Quillen.

“In Colorado, the Klan captured few Democratic nomi-nations, but had its most success infecting the Republi-cans.”

Jason Brockman and Erin McDanal, staff archivists for the Colorado State Archive, said Morley’s “political ascent paralleled the anti-minority, anti-foreign, anti-Jewish, and anti-Catholic sentiment that existed throughout the coun-try during the 1920s.”

Under the charismatic and persuasive tutelage of Grand Dragon John Galen Locke, the Klan was able to create one of strongest political machines in state history. Locke, the short, extremely overweight Denver physician, ran the Klan and much of the state from his office at 1345 Glenarm Place.

“Beyond any doubt, the KKK is the largest and most cohesive, most efficiently organized political force in the state,” according to the Denver Post at the time.

Locke, as Klan Grand Dragon, controlled Morley as governor, Ben Stapleton as mayor of Denver, obtained a majority in the House and Senate, elected the Secretary of State, and secured a Supreme Court Judgeship and seven benched in Denver District Court, according to state archivists.

Although Locke espoused the usual Klan nonsense

messages of hate and bigotry in public, he didn’t seem to live the life himself.

“He had been married to a Catholic and employed two Catholic secretaries, paying their pew rents,” wrote Dark Cloud column author Richard L. MacLeod of the Boulder Lout Forum.

He was also known to look the other way in additional instances. Catholics in the northwest Denver were able to build St. Catherine of Siena parish by holding lavish and lucrative bingo parties that eventually led to the nicknam-ing of “the carnival parish” in the Harkness Heights area of North Denver.

“Even the Ku Klux Klan could not stop St. Catherine’s,” noted Thomas J. Noel, Colorado historian, of the Archdio-cese of Denver. “According to Judge John J. Dunn, whose mother was John Galen Locke’s nurse, and his father happened to be a long-time patient of Dr. Locke, it was

Locke who arranged bingo permits for St. Catherine’s with Denver’s anti-Catholic chief of police, William Clandish.”

Locke was also known to have contributed philan-thropically to Jewish and Black charities as well, and is widely considered to have promoted the Klan as a means to political power rather than committed universally to its philosophies of hate and bigotry.

Most of the Klan-sponsored legislation during the time of Morley’s governorship was effectively killed in commit-tee by anti-Klan Republicans and a small but tenacious group of Democrats which included a future governor, Billy Adams.

After Morley left office, he established a stock broker-age in Indiana. In 1935, however, he returned to Denver to reestablish his law practice.

“His plans were interrupted, however, when he was arrested in 1935 for mail fraud,” according his biography at

the state archive.“While he was found

not guilty in Colorado, the federal courts in-dicted him for 21 counts of mail fraud and for using his prestige and past public office con-nections to defraud his customers.

“Morley was found guilty on these charges and was sentenced to Leavenworth Prison for five years,” according to Brockman and Mc-Danal of Colorado State Archives.

Costly fire – Fred Cunningham suffered the loss of barns and corrals Saturday when a fire of undetermined origin burned livestock, hay and grain at his ranch between Divide and Crip-ple Creek. Fred was late with his usual early morning deliver-ies to stores and cafes. When his friends discovered the reason, they were more concerned than hungry.

New job – George Vahsholtz, sone of Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Vahsholtz, has begun work with Jack Potter at Jack’s Repair Service. George will do the body repair work and is anxious to get acquainted with folks in the community.

Garbage can protocol – Garbage cans are not to be used for burning. Burnable trash must be burned or tied secure-ly in a bundle and placed in the garbage container. If it is burned, the burning container must be metal and covered with a screen cover at all times it is in use. Cold ashes may be put in the garbage container.

Pizza party – The freshman class cordially invites the communities in the region to attend their pizza party at the Woodland Park High School on Friday, March 12. The

class is out selling tickets and they are hoping a lot of hun-gry guests buy their tickets at the door. Prices are 60 cents per pizza, two for $1 or three for $1.50. A goodly choice of pizzas: plain cheese, cheese and mushrooms, cheese and hamburger or “the works” with cheese, hamburger and mushrooms.

Dimes add up – Mrs. Edd Kelley, who has been the driving force in this area since about 1950 for the March of Dimes, announced the county has gone over the $400 quota to the tune of $487.65.

Former Mayor Ben Stapleton’s Ku Klux Klan marches through downtown Denver. Stapleton was mayor from 1923 to 1944, and was one of many Colorado politicians with less-than-subtle ties to the KKK.


“We strengthen the body to still the mind and we still the mind so as to free the spirit,” so says a recent article in Psychology Today. The fi tness industry may well have coined the phrase decades ago of “Mind, Body, Spirit.”

The enlightened industry leaders recognize that our psychological and spiritual well-being were as important as bulging biceps and tight buns. The three components are inseparable, when it comes to being fi t and healthy.

For almost 18 years now, I have written in this column on a weekly basis on health and fi tness and seldom do I speak of the importance of spirituality to a healthy lifestyle and even less often do I address the power of prayer. Let me

correct that.The experts at the Mayo Clinic tell us that spirituality

has many defi nitions but at its core spirituality helps give our lives context. It is not necessarily connected to a spe-cifi c belief system or even to religious worship. Instead, it arises from your connection with yourself and others, the development of your personal value system and your search for meaning in life.

For many, spirituality takes the form of religious obser-vance, prayer, meditation or a belief in a higher power. For others, spirituality is found in nature, music or art. In short, spirituality is different for everyone, but its positive impact on one’s health is becoming a well-established fact.

Recently, the journal Cancer published a series of meta-analysis evaluating the effects of spirituality and religion on the self-reported health of people with cancer. A meta-analysis is a statistical method to combine the results of multiple past studies for the purpose of resolving any un-certainty in their results.

The research study encompassed 44,000 people and represents one of the most comprehensive views ever done of religion and spirituality as it relates to cancer. Overall, the scientists found that greater levels of religion and spiri-

tuality were associated with better physical, mental and social health.

The research subjects linked to spirituality reported improved physical symptoms, such as less fatigue and pain, reduced feelings of anxiety and depression and an improved quality of social relationships and social involve-ment. Those subjects struggling with faith and spiritual is-sues had lower levels of perceived health.

University of Missouri researchers examined the re-sults of three surveys that asked Buddhists, Catholics, Jews, Muslims and Protestants about their personalities, levels of spirituality and physical and mental health. In all fi ve faiths, a greater degree of spirituality was associated with better mental health, specifi cally lower levels of neuroti-cism and greater social interaction.

And the Mayo Clinic weighs in with the assessment that, “Taking the path less traveled by exploring your spirituality can lead to a clearer life purpose, better personal relation-ships and enhanced stress management skills.” They con-tend that spirituality can help you feel a sense of purpose, connect with the world, release the need for control, ex-pand your support network and lead to a healthier lifestyle.

Tune in next week for the skinny on the power of prayer.

More than mere words, these were the core values and the motivating principles that guided Southern Teller County business and civic leaders 40 years ago to chart the future of long-term nursing care in the region.

It was the early 1970s when the group set out to fund and build a facility to provide services to the area’s some-what isolated, but independent, citizens.

After lengthy research, a local Colorado Title 32 Special District was established and a residential nursing facility was built.

That organization is the Southern Teller County Health Services District and it still governs the operation of the Cripple Creek Care Center today.

The district’s board of directors, made up of seven vol-

unteers, is responsible for fi scal and capital asset manage-ment, and administrative oversight.

Today, the original core values still guide the board and the leadership of the Cripple Creek Care Center, starting with nursing home administrator Lori Stewart.

Among the staff, registered nurse Barb Szendrey exem-plifi es this dedication. She has been part of the family at the center for more than 22 years. Her care and concern for residents is shown not only through her years of nurs-ing service, but also through her loving understanding and knowledge of each of them as individuals.

Starting as a certifi ed nursing assistant, offi ce manager Jo Ann Kincaid has also been with the center family more than 20 years.

Long-time staffer Susan Amiot in human resources shows similar dedication whether she is helping someone plan their spending for a Family Dollar shopping trip or is helping someone fi nd a special book or magazine.

The same is true for our housekeeping director, Lois Mace, who often can be found, for example, helping a resi-dent tune in their favorite TV show.

These are just some of the ways our entire staff interacts directly with the residents in many ways each day.

The newest staff member, dietary manager Kirk Fergu-son, was raised in a kitchen where Mom and Grandma be-

lieved “cooking is the heart of the home.” He brings this “love through food” foundation to the

entire family at Cripple Creek Care Center. With expanded dining hours, more open menu choices, special party din-ing, and “from scratch” gourmet cooking, he is bringing joy through food to our home.

During the past four years, the board has undertaken tens of thousands of dollars of capital improvements at the facility, starting with safety and service issues: a new boiler system, upgraded plumbing and electrical services (including one of the largest backup power generators in the County), installation of a WanderGuard system, and a fully upgraded, commercially compliant kitchen.

In a few weeks, we’ll complete a total remodel of resi-dents’ common areas, as well as staff areas, including wall and fl oor fi nishes and all furnishings.

Our Colorado mountain home is nestled on the side of a quiet hillside in Cripple Creek. We offer a full range of 24/7 skilled nursing care services and a variety of payment op-tions, including VA approval, Medicare, Medicaid, and pri-vate pay.

If you would like to learn more about making our home your home, visit our website at cc-care.org, or contact Ad-missions Director Amanda Shalhout directly at 719-689-2931, or [email protected].

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Vote for school district sales tax increase

To the Editor,If not now, then when? That is the fundamental ques-

tion we face regarding responsible, sustainable funding of our Woodland Park schools. I’m asking my neighbors, fellow parents and those without children in our schools to vote yes for Ballot Issue 1 on April 5.

The undisputed facts are these:Colorado has, since 2009, decreased its funding of schools

statewide. This “negative factor” has increased, year over year. And word from the governor’s offi ce is they do not foresee a

turnaround any time soon. Rather, they anticipate additional cuts placing an even greater burden of funding schools on the municipalities.

In response, the WPSD has cut $15 million from its budget, asked parents to pay for items previously covered by the district. Even worse, they froze for fi ve years our teachers’ salaries, which are already among the lowest in the region and state.

Think about that for a moment. Doing your job for fi ve years with no pay raise at all. We have lost many amazing teachers because of the low pay and lack of pay increases. Can you blame them? It’s shameful, in my view.

Residents and businesses in Woodland Park pay the high-est property taxes in the region and yet our schools receive barely over a one-third of the mills we all pay. The ratio is the widest gap in the region as well.

Often, WPSD is compared with Manitou Springs. If the is-sue is passed, our total property tax mills would be 80.536 with 27.155 going to our schools. Manitou is 76.681 mills with 52 going to the schools. An astonishing difference. Passing Ballot Issue 1 lowers your property taxes, starting in 2017.

And Manitou gets revenue from retail sales of marijuana. Woodland Park schools receive no revenue from the tax on

Ex-GMF clerk gets severance payBy Courier staff

Former Green Mountain Falls’ town clerk, Mary Duval, has received $12,000 in sever-ance pay, according to an approval by the Board of Trustees on March 2.

Duval was fi red by the board late last year after questions arose about expenditures on city credit cards. Still, the board agreed to pay her the amount she would have received had she been working.

The severance package is intended to head off any possible costs of litigation, said Trustee Tyler Stevens.

retail sales of marijuana. This is because there are no retail sales in Teller County.

I have one student at the middle school and one at the high school. Both tell me about issues they see such as the leaking roofs, shared resources, outdated technology, and reduced class offerings because of the lack of funding. These are our buildings, our schools. It is our duty to maintain them.

We can say yes and support the funding needed to get these vital needs addressed.

Trust our school administration and school board to be fi s-cally responsible and transparent with the additional funds as you have with the current funds they receive. There is nothing to indicate they will be reckless spenders of taxpayer money; nothing to indicate they will spend the additional money on anything but the vital needs of our children, our schools, and our community.

So I ask again neighbors, if not now, then when? The problems are not going away, the need is not going away, and we cannot count on the state of Colorado to help. We must own this. We must show that we embrace our schools as sig-nature item in our broader community. Please vote with me and vote yes on Ballot Issue 1.

Graduation rates steady statewide; area districts seek improvement

By Avalon A. [email protected]

A report from the Colorado Department of Educa-tion shows the class of 2015’s overall on-time gradu-ation rate was 77.3 percent statewide, matching last year’s rate and down a few points from 2013.

Graduating “on-time” is when students earn a high school diploma within four years of completing 8th grade.

Dropout rates across the state fell, slightly, for the eighth year in a row, to 2.4 percent (representing 11,114 dropouts) from 2.5 percent the year before.

Woodland Park RE-2 School District reported an on-time graduation rate slightly exceeding state average with a ratio of 79 percent.

“Although we are happy that Woodland Park High School has risen to be above the state average,” said WPHS principal Del Garrick, “we are still concerned with the relatively low number as we believe that 100 percent of our students should be able to graduate.

“Each year, we evaluate our non-graduates and look for trends and areas we can improve in order to address the needs of all students.”

Cripple Creek-Victor RE-1 came in below the state average, though, at 64.3 percent.

“I wish it was simply a matter of taking the data that is released and applying a fi x,” said CC&V RE-1 Superin-tendent Leslie Lindauer. “Over the years, the Colorado Department of Education has changed the method of determining graduation (and) dropout rates. Because there are so many variables, (they) can easily skew the data.

“Instead, we are looking at (the data) globally to make sure that any initiative we may adopt results in tangible outcomes for our students.

“We consider success for all of our students the highest priority.”

The dropout rate in Woodland Park stood at 1 percent, well below average, while Cripple Creek had a dropout rate of 2.4 percent or right at state average.

Workshop off ers help for seniors riding ‘Silver Tsunami’

By Pat [email protected]

A wave of senior citizens is ex-pected to rearrange the demographics in Teller County in the next four years. According to a 2015 report, Aging in the Pikes Peak Region, Teller has one of the fastest-growing populations of 55 and over.

A workshop March 30 at the Woodland Park library is designed to help those who have made the leap over the great divide between middle age and over-65.

Titled “Sailing the Silver Tsunami,” the workshop features directors of organizations dedicated to easing the path to help while suggesting ideas that enhance quality of life.

“We’re trying to help the consum-er, whether it’s the senior, the spouse, adult child, family friend or neighbor, identify the resources,” said Paula

Levy, a member of the Golden Bridge Network, which hosts the workshop.

The needs are many, social, nutri-tional, psychological, health or respite care, legal and fi nancial issues and long-term care concerns, for instance.

For some seniors, legal issues such as naming a medical or durable power-of-attorney is daunting.

“That’s another scary thing for seniors, to think they have to have a lawyer to have those things in place,” said Angela Waterbury, chief nurs-ing offi cer with Aspen Bowers, the assisted-living center scheduled to open next year. “In Colorado, you don’t have to have an attorney for a medical power-of-attorney, the most important thing you can have.”

Members of the Golden Bridge Network represent a variety of re-sources available to senior citizens in Teller County.

“There are places you can go to

fi nd friends, to be active, as well as assistance with remaining safe and independent and in control of your own life and future decisions,” said Mary Barrowman, executive director and president of Prospect Home Care & Hospice. “We want to empower you.”

In the maze of services available to enhance the quality of life in the de-clining years, many seniors are afraid to reach out.

“The largest obstacle we face is the seniors’ fear that asking for help means losing their independence,” said Rebecca Blair, director of the se-nior center at the Aspen Mine Center in Cripple Creek. “You have to gain their trust; I think that’s the benefi t of being in a small community. They can see we’re trustworthy.”

“Sailing the Silver Tsunami” work-shop is from 5 to 6 p.m. March 30 at the Woodland Park library.

Christie Huber is proof that you never know when you might make a life-saving friendship.

Heck, it could be anywhere, even in a bar in rural, southern Wisconsin.That’s the case with Huber, whom you might recognize as the receptionist at City Hall. She recently made an extraordinary gift to an old friend, musician Manny Bautista. The connection was made years ago when Huber and her husband, John Huber,

owned a tavern in Gratiot, Wis. They met Bautista when his band played at their tavern.A friendship between the Hubers and Bautista blossomed and continued, even as the

couple relocated to Woodland Park years ago.Years later, that old Wisconsin connection proved serendipitous for 62-year-old Bau-

tista, when he became ill.“There was a plea on his Facebook page; at that time his kidney was functioning at

about 18 to 20 percent; he was in Stage 4 of kidney disease,” Christie Huber said. “The normal wait time for a kidney is three to five years and just in Wisconsin alone there are 2,000 people waiting.”

At home that evening, the Hubers talked about their friend. Christie recalls John say-ing, “If I had his blood type, if there was any one person I would donate to, it would be Manny.”

She replied, “Well, honey….” Today, Huber, 56, still can’t explain the urge to give up one of her kidneys.“Something just came over me. I have that same blood type – and just thought ‘if

there’s something I can do to help him,’” she said. “I’ve always been healthy so I thought at least I could try,” she said. As luck would have it, the hospital at the University of Wisconsin- Madison has the

top transplant team in the nation. As well, three of the Hubers’ five daughters live near

Madison. Huber flew to Madison in April for a consultation with the social worker, Rebecca

Hays, and met the transplant coordinator, Leeza Warnke, at the university. From there, she went through a series of tests. For the donor, the process is rigorous,

taps into all facets of humanity, the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. “It was the best checkup you’ll ever have,” she said. The tests included a mammogram, colonoscopy and blood test that determined the

ideal match between donor and recipient. “I just broke down crying, (and) thought, ‘this is really going to happen.’” she said.The Hubers flew to Madison Jan. 2 to prepare for the operation three days later. “I was on pins and needles, hoping that everything was still OK,” Huber said. “The

best part was when I got to meet my surgeon, Dr. David Foley, who is on the kidney-trans-plant team.

National certifi cation elevates executive, animal shelterBy Pat [email protected]

With certifi cation by the Society of Animal Welfare Administrators, Mary Steinbeiser has thrust the region into the national eye.

Executive director of the Teller County Regional Animal Shelter, Steinbeiser has added another notch to the services offered by the organization.

In a county where people are known for their love of animals, Steinbeiser’s certifi ca-tion offers a range of resources, both educational and fi nancial.

“The certifi cation is to drive all of the nation’s animal welfare administrators in the same direction,” she said. “It doesn’t mean we’re going to agree on every aspect of what we do, but at least we’ll be able to educate ourselves at the same level.”

The SAWA designation includes education about the various aspects of animal wel-fare, veterinary care, cleaning protocols, adoptions, medical services, board governing, contract negotiation and marketing.

While small, the shelter in Divide takes on stature with the designation. “We tend to feel that we are a little island off by ourselves but, much to the contrary,

we are very connected to the rest of the country,” she said. “We may be small but we are mighty and do really great things.”

On the list of national nonprofi t animal-welfare organizations, TCRAS is a member of the club.

“As such a rural community, this is amazing for us,” she said. “The designation is going to give us more exposure and opens up funding and education opportunities.”

As a result of SAWA, Steinbeiser and her staff are part of a national network. “We’ve done the blood, sweat and tears to get where we are,” she said. “The great thing

about the animal-welfare industry is that we all want to save and help the animals, for the wellbeing of our community.”

Of 120 test takers in September, 26 passed the three-month course. “The certifi cation means great things for TCRA and the community,” Steinbeiser said.

Mary Steinbeiser, executive director of the Teller County Regional Animal Shelter, recently won certifi cation with the Society of Animal Welfare Administrators. Steinbeiser is pictured with a long-time guest of the shelter. /Photo by Pat Hill//The Courier

Paul Saunier is originally from Brooklyn, N.Y., but has lived in Colorado for 33 years. He retired from construction work to Woodland Park three years ago because it has everything he and his family need. He sits on the Teller County Board of Adjustment and is a member of two gem and mineral clubs, including one in Lake George. He said he loves Woodland Park and plans to listen to the issues and use the “common sense God gave me” to help.

Q: Why are you running?A: I want to be a good steward. I really did not think there were going to be enough people coming forward to fill the seats. From what I’m reading in the newspaper tells me that people don’t have the great-est trust in what’s happening. I might be wrong, but I’m willing to get involved. Q: What are the issues you will focus on in your campaign?A: I believe the issues need to be above-board, aired-out. We need to hold each other accountable. I believe the citizens, newspaper and city government need to work together on all issues. Some issues may require a decision that may not sit well with everyone, but I want to do the least amount of damage. If I change my position, I’ll explain why. Q: Does the council need better transpar-ency when it comes to making decisions? For instance, should there have been public hearings before the council gave the

city manager guidance to pursue the high school location for the Aquatic Center? A: Absolutely. The impression is – I’m not saying it was – that the decision was done underhandedly. But, as the mayor said, the decision’s been made so as a community, let’s move forward. Q: Do you think Woodland Park needs more entry-level housing? A: Yes. We have these trailer parks that look like Third World countries. Is that really affordable housing? We need to have com-passion and respect for each other. As far as entry-level housing, I believe our teach-ers, firefighters and police officers should be able to afford to live here. Q: What are your thoughts on improving the lives of senior citizens whose numbers are increasing by large margins from now on in Teller County?A: It’s extremely important: I’m one of them. I believe the new nursing home and assisted-living facility are important to this community. Let’s face it, the economy has not been too kind and there’s a definite need here. Many of our seniors have lived here a long time – they should not have to move out of here simply because they become seniors.

Carrol Harvey vows not to repeat mistake of executive session on Aquatic Center

Carrol Harvey was elected to the City Council in 2012. She is a retired U.S. Army officer who is now a civilian employee at U.S. Northern Command’s Colorado Springs facility in the J9 Interagency Directorate, which provides sup-port during natural and manmade disasters. She has served as Mayor Pro Tem since 2014 and recently headed up the city’s Charter Review Advisory Committee.

Q. Why are you running? A. I started with an appointment to the plan-ning commission and really enjoyed that process and working with the city staff. With the understanding of what the planning com-mission did, I felt I had something to offer as a City Council member and want to continue that work.Q. What issues will you focus on in your cam-paign?A. The most important responsibility of a council member is the adoption of the budget. When the City Council and city manager convinced the citizens that we had the money to spend on an aquatic center, that makes the management of our budget even more impor-tant. So I want to stick around to make sure we are spending our money wisely. As well, I want to make sure that we don’t forget what I think is the most important responsibility: the safety and security of the community. We’ve got to make sure the money is always there to train, equip and pay our police department. Q. Does the council need better transpar-ency when it comes to making decisions? For instance, should there have been public hear-ings before the council gave the city manager guidance to pursue the high school location

for the Aquatic Center? A. For that particular issue, paying for, placing and operating the Aquatic Center, there have been dozens of town hall and public meetings. The question of whether an executive session was held without public input cannot be disputed. And now I recognize that, although there was a legal obligation to protect the confidentiality of the parties in a purchase agreement, that perhaps the council and city manager should have asked the school district if we could open that to the public. I will be very aware in the next four years and not allow that to happen again.Q. Do you think Woodland Park needs more entry-level housing?A. You have to understand there is just so much dirt and a limited number of lots to build on. When the council, planning depart-ment and commission consider the use of that land they have to have a balance between high-end housing units and affordable hous-ing. Are we protecting the rights of property owners? I will continue to keep that in mind as part of my decision-making process. Q. What are your thoughts about improving the lives of senior citizens whose numbers are increasing in large margins from now on in Teller County?A. By definition, I’m a senior. I don’t feel it’s my government’s responsibility to take care of my future. Having said that, there are a number of actions the City Council can take to improve the lives of all our citizens.

Carrol Harvey


Bill Loftin wants to slow WP growth rate, improve transparency of council

Bill Loftin is a 20-year resident of Wood-land Park. Originally from Kentucky, he has lived in New York and Colorado Springs. He is retired from aviation engineering and is a software engineer who builds his own websites. Loftin has never run for office.

Q. Why are you running?A. I want to get into the workings of the city and find out who runs it and how it goes. I’m not really politically-motivated.

Q. What issues are you focusing on in your campaign? A. I’m a little concerned about the growth rate and why Woodland Park is growing so fast. It’s going to affect our tax base, sooner or later. I can suggest other ideas, if I get elected.

Q. Does the council need better transpar-ency when it comes to making decisions? For instance, should there have been public hearings before the council gave the city manager guidance to pursue the high school location for the Aquatic Center?A. I think it would have been a good idea. They did follow procedures. The only thing I question is why the records from the ex-ecutive session were destroyed. Why didn’t we have access to them? According to the city charter, we’re supposed to. (However, the city was within its rights to destroy the records after 90 days.)As well, I’d like to see a little more trans-parency from the bible college (Charis). I know the students are bringing business to the city, housing and everything else. Cha-

ris is helping our property values, I think.

Q. Do you think Woodland Park needs more entry-level housing?A. They could probably upgrade the trailer park, or move it somewhere.

Q. What are your thoughts on improving the lives of senior citizens whose numbers are increasing by large numbers from now on in Teller County? A. I think it would be nice to have their tax base reduced, if that’s possible. I know we have the Homestead Act that reduces property taxes for eligible senior citizens, but that’s the state. I think the proposed sales-tax increase for the schools will drive a lot of the elderly out of here.

Val Carr wants greater public involvement in im-portant council decisions

Val Carr has lived in Woodland Park since 2004. He was born in Wyoming and has lived in Minnesota, Montana and Califor-nia. He has served on the Woodland Park Board of Adjustment for nine years. He also served on the Mountain Arts Council and, most recently, the Charter Review Advi-sory Committee. He describes himself as “just your basic computer geek.” He retired at 45 from a career in computer science engineering and aerospace engineering to became a “Mr. Mom.” He said his service on the Board of Adjustment is good prepara-tion for serving on council.

Q. Why are you running? A. I want to offer my experience in detailed analysis techniques that I brought as a chairperson for the Board of Adjustment and contributing member of the charter review committee. As a software engineer, I believe my specific talents and imaginative alternative thinking would be an asset to the council.Q. What issues will you focus on in your campaign?A. A high priority for me has been to look at the present and future needs of the citizens, some who have decades of investment in the community, to target the best services the city budget can honor. I’m also con-cerned about new small businesses having poor success in establishing in Wood-land Park. The common themes there are underestimating local staffing costs and whether there is a demand for their prod-uct. I believe a volunteer committee could offer to provide these services to incoming

businesses similar to services offered by the Small Business Administration. Q. Does the council need better transpar-ency when it comes to making decisions? A. I want to bring a fresh voice to promote a generous Sunshine Law for future council decisions, especially when controversial decisions are made. Let the citizens read the detailed city analysis and let the citizens de-cide for themselves in public forums. I see no harm in publishing these analyses and a brief reason to arrive at specific decisions in public as they occur. Q. Do you think Woodland Park needs more entry-level housing?A. I’m always confused about the econom-ics of why we need workforce housing. If we really studied what is existing and on the books, as opposed to what the actual num-ber is. If the drive for affordable housing is just so somebody can build yet another apartment that may not have occupancy is another bad business decision. Q. What are your thoughts on improving the lives of senior citizens whose numbers are increasing by large margins from now on in Teller County? A. We really need to look more at that – I know we have the Senior Center. And what about the pool? I used to swim laps in San Diego – came here and my health deterio-rated because there was no pool.

One of Sean Reynolds’ goals as the new operating manager of Joanie’s Bakery and Deli is to make sure people know it does both bakery and deli well.

“We’re going to put a lot of emphasis back in the bakery side of things,” Reyn-olds said. “Most people don’t consider us a bakery, so we want to put that back on the map.”

Reynolds will be managing Joanie’s for new owner John Edmundson, who bought the business in late February.

“I’ve been working with John for 12 years as the manager of Popeyes restau-rants in Colorado Springs,” Reynolds said.

In response to Joanie’s regulars con-cerned about change, Reynolds offers reassurances.

“We want to continue pushing the qual-ity this place has,” he said.

He took over the popular gathering spot after Joanie’s bid farewell to previous own-

ers Adele and Michael Faber, who retired from the restaurant business.

Before purchasing Joanie’s, the Fabers owned and managed The Pantry restau-rant in Green Mountain Falls.

For the past several years, Adele Faber has been the face of Joanie’s, whipping up sandwiches, salads and quiche, for in-stance, while taking time to greet custom-ers with a wave or a smile.

While Faber and her staff baked many of the items, Reynolds plans to increase oven time at the restaurant.

When it comes to the soups, Joanie’s will feature specials certain days of the week.

“One of the common complaints we’ve heard from customers is the lines at lunch,” Reynolds said.

To address the issue, Reynolds plans to serve coffee and call-in orders in another area.

Joanie’s is open from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., seven days a week.

Employees prepare lunch for Joanie’s customers. /Photo by Evan Musick

Fossil Beds seeks volunteersFor The Courier

Robert Krick is a retired psychologist from the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

One might think he has given more than his share back to society during his career. However, for Krick, there is another worthy cause where he donates his time: Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument.

Florissant is one of 410 units of the National Park System, created 100 years ago to preserve the natural and cultural heritage of our country.

In Florissant, the park preserves world-class fossils with the help of a lot of help from volunteers like Krick, who dedicates four hours a week at the visitor center at the park.

“I enjoy being up in the mountains and learning about the area’s geology and pa-leontology and helping visitors experience the park,” says Krick who began volunteer-ing in December of 2015.

Jeff Wolin, lead interpreter and volun-teer coordinator at the monument, is hop-ing more area residents like Krick might be interested in supporting their local national park unit and choose to volunteer at Florissant Fossil Beds.

Increasing visitation over the past years has led to more opportunities for volun-teering, Wolin said.

Currently, the Monument is looking for retired educators and/or volunteers with teaching experience to help with its education programs and/or to help orient visitors and provide customer service at the visitor center.

Other volunteers may be needed for trail ambassadors, assisting with the night sky programs, photography, or doing trail or facility maintenance amongst other op-portunities.

“We have been able to achieve amazing things at our small park in great part due to a corps of dedicated volunteers,” Wolin said. “They have enabled us to provide a variety of services for the local community and for visitors from all over the world.

“Volunteers have led hikes, provided school trips to local area youth, fixed the trails, and helped patrol and protect the resources of the park.”

If you live in the local area and are interested in giving back to the national parks, please contact volunteer coordina-tor Jeff Wolin at 719-748-3253, ext. 202.

Combine love of nature and poetry in a gentle hikeFor The Courier

Folks who love to walk in nature and read poetry may want to visit the Floris-sant Fossil Beds National Monument at 1 p.m., Saturday, March 12 for its program: Picturesque Poems: A Hike and a Haiku!

Volunteer interpretive park ranger Steven Veatch will lead the 2½-hour hike that will combine poetry and nature.

The program will begin in the Visitor Center with a short program on poetry writing techniques.

Participants will then explore the monument on a nature hike of less than one mile where they will experience the monument and collect “picturesque” words for a writer’s notebook.

The program will explore language and learn how poetry is connected to our everyday lives. Participants will make and compose original three-line haiku poems using word collections.

This is a chance to immerse your-self in a natural setting and release the boundless energy of creativity that is in-side you in a fun and supportive setting.

A writer’s notebook will be provided for all participants. Bring your favorite pen or pencil and warm clothing to be outdoors.

Veatch is an author whose work in-cludes short stories, poetry, essays, liter-ary criticism, and more than 150 articles on nature and science. He is a regular at a writer’s retreat held in the woods of northern Michigan at the Interlochen College of Creative Arts.

Admission for the program is the regular park entrance fee, which is $5 per adult (16 years and older); children and federal pass holders are free.

For additional information, please call (719) 748-3253 or visit our website: www.nps.gov/flfo or on Facebook at /Floris-santNPS

“He is soft-spoken and kind; you know how you look at someone’s eyes and just see kindness? That’s what I saw.”

The transplant team is fl exible, pre-pared for the unexpected.

“Even if you go through all the checks, you have the right to back out, to the point of being rolled into surgery,” she said. “So, there’s no pressure. They give you every option.”

Huber went fi rst.“Manny got to come in and see me – we

got to talk, hold and hug each other before it all happened,” she said.

The surgery was successful.“John never left me – was there the

whole time, slept on one of the bed chairs at the hospital,” she said.

Back in Gratiot, a town of 230 people, Bautista still has his challenges with the new kidney.

“He’s had several traumas,” said Laurie Athey, Bautista’s fi ancée.

In the beginning, he spent three days in the intensive care unit followed by two infections, Athey said.

“The infection had moved into his kidneys, which presents a greater risk of rejection,” Athey said.

However, Bautista is being monitored

by the transplant team at the hospital. “If his temperature is at least 100.5

degrees, we have to go to the emergency room at the university,” she said.

Nonetheless, Athey is heartened by the good news.

“We went to a wedding in February (about a month after the transplant) and we actually danced,” she said.

Both operations, in addition to the tests and consultations with the transplant team, were funded by Bautista’s insur-ance through the University of Wisconsin and are a result of the Affordable Care Act, Athey said.

Huber’s travel expenses were funded by the nonprofi t organization the National Live Donor Association.

Reluctant at fi rst to tell her story, Huber hopes to raise awareness about the donor experience.

“I went to bed the evening before and was just at peace with myself, because I just know so many people, friends and family, who have passed away from can-cer,” she said. “My dad had ALS – there’s no cure for it. There was nothing I could do for my dad; I just thought ‘here is something I can do to help somebody.’ ”

WP coaches, students visit D.C. to explore U.S. history

Joe Roskam stood on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., a couple weeks ago looking out over the city.

In the foreground was the Washington Monument and U.S. Capitol, all lit up and visible for miles.

“It was pretty awesome,” Roskam said.Roskam is a civics and economics teacher at Woodland

Park High School. He is also the school’s football coach, as well as assistant track coach.

It was Roskam’s first trip to our nation’s capital. Some-what surprising since Roskam is a history buff.

“As a coach and a teacher, it rejuvenates you,” Roskam said.,

Roskam was one of two chaperones on the trip. The other was Andrew Pappadakis, the school’s girls’ soccer coach, as well as a civics and U.S. his-tory teacher.

The teachers/coaches were there as part of a program that involved 12 students from Wood-land Park High School.

Pappadakis has gone on similar Washington trips with students four times over the years.

“I’ve never been in the Supreme Court while they were deliberating, so that was probably the highlight of this trip for me, followed by the Ar-chives,” Pappadakis said.

Pappadakis and Roskam were chosen as chap-erones last summer.

Many of the students were athletes. The list included football players Orion Drummond, Jake Seib and Dominic Roskam, baseball players Sam Levy and Lou Levy, soccer player Maia Pappada-kis, and track athlete Erik Nijkamp.

“It was one of the best weeks of my life, if not the best,” Drummond said. “We shared so many life-enhancing experiences. Just a lot of emo-tion and sharing that with my two teammates

brought us even closer together. We were already close and best friends already, but that brought us even closer.

“Coach Roskam had a lot of funny comments, and it was actu-ally cool how much he knew about the history of the place.”

Seib also declared the trip a highlight of his life.

“The Smithsonian was awe-some,” Seib said. “Coach Roskam and Mr. P made it an awesome time.”

Pappadakis, aka Mr. P, and Roskam accompanied the stu-dents on some of their tours, which included the White House, Supreme Court chambers, the Capitol building, National Ar-chives, battlefields, and various other monuments in and around the great city.

“Going to the Supreme Court was pretty amazing,” Roskam said. “Eight of the Supreme Court justices were there. We got see the black sash over judge (Antonin) Scalia’s chair.”

Roskam’s other highlights were

the National Archives – which houses the Declaration of Independence and Constitution among other documents – and Ball’s Bluff Battlefield and National Cemetery in Lees-burg, Va. Local historian John Cheeseman directed that tour.

“The way he brought it together was unbelievable,” Ros-kam said.

Interestingly, the Woodland Park students did their own tours during the day, separate from Roskam and Pappa-dakis. Everyone stayed in the same hotels, and often ate together. They all went to a Washington Capitals hockey game on Feb. 24.

“Students are mostly with other students, and teachers are with other staff,” Pappadakis said.

The trip is usually planned the week before the official start of spring sports.

My main contact with Roskam is as the school’s head football coach. He has served in that capacity since 2011. He also has been a lower level basketball coach. This spring he is working with the sprinters on the track team.

Roskam is not yet sure how he plans to incorporate the Washington trip into his coaching.

“I’m sure it will come up at some point,” he said with a smile.

I have been to Washington many times over the years. Outside of Rome, Italy, it is the most fascinating city in the world that I have experienced.

If you have not yet been to the east coast, make plans to do so and spend a day or two in Washington. It is where history comes alive.

A Thorne in the side of opponentsWoodland Park senior is a four-years starter By Danny [email protected]

It’s going to be a busy spring for Caitlan Thorne. The

Woodland Park High School senior is a four-year starter for the girls’ soccer team.

A center midfielder, she will be looked to lead a team that went 8-7 last year and lost stars including Jenny Sells and Morghan Sieracki.

But she’ll be doing much more than playing soccer.When Thorne is not practicing or playing games, start-

ing March 10 with a home game against Elizabeth, she and her family will be hitting the road visiting colleges.

Thorne, you see, is a two-sport star who hopes to play at the next level, even though she has not yet decided if she intends to focus on soccer or volleyball.

“I’ve always preferred soccer growing up, but if I find the right school with the best fit and a good coach I will play either one,” she said. “It’s about a lot of things. It’s not just about the sport or the school or the money.”

Thorne has already been offered scholarship money for soccer to Mount Mercy University in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and for volleyball with Bethany (Lindsborg, Kansas), Ot-tawa (Kansas) University and McPherson (Kansas) College.

She has more trips planned.“The process has been busy,” Thorne said. “It’s been

quite the process to email coaches and get things set up, but I’ve enjoyed all of it. The girls have been nice. The coaches have been great. The schools have been fun. I’m excited just to play. That’s the whole reason I’m doing this.”

When Thorne was at Bethany, she was able to room with former Woodland Park volleyball teammates Carli Vahsholtz and Elin Saxon.

Thorne has put together a highlight film for volleyball (she plays libero) and video clips for soccer that she emails to coaches ahead of her scheduled visits. You can find a profile of Thorne on www.captainu.com.

She began to invest more time and energy in her search for a college about halfway through the volleyball season.

“I probably should have started my junior year,”

Thorne said. “I want to play (in college), so all this is worth it, for sure.”

Though she may be a little distracted, she hasn’t forgot-ten about the upcoming season and she’ll be combing her natural skills with a fearless tenacity and pure grit.

“When you look at our team we don’t have physical strength, but Caitlan has physical strength,” said Wood-land Park coach Andrew Pappadakis. “She’s muscular. She’s not afraid. When we need to batten down the middle a little bit because we’re getting run over, she’s going to bring that.

“Her desire to do things right, and to do things well, is infectious. If we can have something like that from her we could have success.”

Thorne will be a major factor if the Panthers are able return to the postseason after a one-year hiatus. She played a supporting role in the team’s success in 2013 and 2014 when it made the playoffs.

Thorne has three goals and three assists last season as

a junior. Her teammates are looking for even more from her.

“I look up to Caitlan because she has been on this team since her freshman year and she is a leader,” said Wood-land Park sophomore Samantha Lecky, who was second on the team in scoring last season with 11 goals to go along with six assists. “She takes control when we need to step it up and she keeps things under control.”

Woodland Park sophomore goalkeeper Maia Pappada-kis also praised Thorne’s leadership abilities.

“She has good confidence and her voice in the field is pretty loud,” Pappadakis said.

After the opener, the Panthers have three more non-league games against Pueblo East (March 15), Valley (March 18) and Vista Ridge (March 29).

They open the Class 4A Metro League portion of their schedule against The Classical Academy (April 5). TCA was 16-1 a year ago and was the No. 2 overall seed in the playoffs.

Track season underway for WPBoys and girls squads looking to make strides again this seasonBy Danny [email protected]

When Hayden Erickson won the Class 4A state shot put

title last spring, he raised the bar for other Woodland Park High School track and field athletes.

“Hayden taught me more hip rotation, power, footwork, everything,” said Panthers’ senior Devin Carter, who special-izes in the discus and shot.

Bayli Jones, Woodland Park’s top athlete in the discus and shot, said that Erickson remains an inspiration,

“It doesn’t matter what size school you come from, it’s how hard you work and working on every little technicality,” she said. “Hayden would do throws without even having a disc in his hand. He would just work on his footwork and technique and that made his throw stronger. We all learned from that.”

Erickson, who graduated last May, became the first Wood-land Park track and field athlete since 2004 – when Allison Hawes won state in the 400 – to claim a title at the prestigious meet.

Only time will tell if anybody donning Woodland Park green, black and white on this year’s squad will stand atop the winner’s podium at Jefferson County Stadium this year.

Woodland Park is coached by Ron Payton, who has been with the program since 2004 – the longest tenure of any coach at the school.

“I don’t know if we have any state champions this year, but we have some kids who can do well and maybe make it to state,” Payton said. “We just have to see how things all come together.”

Payton’s top assistant again this season is Dan Makris, who is in his 46th year as a coach.

Among the boys to watch this season are seniors Dominik Cunico (sprints relays) and Connor Traynor (distance), ju-niors Jake Seib (distance), Michael Gibbs (hurdles), Jack Fish-er (distance) and Christian Cox (400, 800), and sophomores Colin Kinsman (sprints), Dominic Roskam (sprints), Ham-ilton Erickson (distance) and Brendan Kozial (sprints, triple jump).

Cox is the younger brother of Matt Cox, the school’s start-

ing quarterback until he was sidelined by a season-ending injury in Week 5 of the football season.

“He’s tough and he works hard,” said Woodland Park as-sistant sprints coach Joe Roskam about Christian. “I think he can qualify for state in the 400 and 800. If he doesn’t qualify, I will be upset with him.”

Cox said he doesn’t feel any added pressure from Roskam’s comments.

“I’m glad coach has a lot of confidence in me and I hope I am able to make it,” Cox said. “I need to make up about two seconds in the 400. I need to make it out of the blocks faster.”

Also of note is Orion Drummond, a junior hurdler, and freshman Skye Ciccarelli, a distance runner.

Drummond is sidelined for at least the next month while he recovers from right shoulder surgery. His ultimate goal is to be 100 percent by the time the football season rolls around.

“Track gets my footwork right and helps with forward speed,” said Drummond, who plays linebacker in football. “Doing hurdles helps me when I see something coming at me and me being able to overcome that obstacle. It’s sort of

like when an offensive lineman comes at me and I need to get around him or through him.”

Ciccarelli, the school’s top basketball player, is using track to help him prepare for his next season on the hardwood. Ciccarelli plans on running the 800 and the mile.

“Running distance will keep me in shape,” Ciccarelli said. “I’m also going to do high jump to get my vertical up.

“Track is not as fun as basketball, but it’s still fun.”Some of the top girls are senior Shanelle Price (sprints), ju-

niors Lauren Lambert (sprints) and Shayla Strait (pole vault), and sophomores Sandra Dillinger (distance), Natalie Graber (hurdles), Haley Hanes (400) and Shaelynn Irwin (sprints).

“I think we’ll be able to put together a pretty good 4x100 sprint medley and 4x200 relay teams,” Graber said. “We have some pretty good 400 runners, so we might be able to put together a pretty good 4x400.”

Irwin’s fastest time in the 100 last year was 13.99. She is hoping to break the school record of 12.09.

“Maybe I can break the school record by my senior year,” she said. “It’s going to take lots of practice and getting stron-ger.”

Pee Wee hockey team wins another championshipPanthers went 18-0 during seasonBy Danny [email protected]

Perfection accomplished!The Woodland Park Hockey Association Pee Wees (11-

12 year olds) completed an undefeated season March 6 at the Broadmoor World Arena Ice Hall in Colorado Springs with a 4-2 victory over the Junior Tigers Red team in the championship game of the Colorado Springs Amateur Hockey Association.

The Panthers went 18-0 this season. They also won three other tournaments along the way.

It marks the second consecutive season the Pee Wees won the CSAHA championship.

“We have an awesome defense, we back-check, we clear the zone, and we have a lot of teamwork,” said Tyler Thime, a right wing who put the icing on the cake against the Junior Tigers Red with a breakaway empty net goal with under a minute remaining in the third period.

Thime also scored an empty net goal in last year’s championship game.

Woodland Park never trailed in the championship game. It had leads of 1-0 and 2-1 on goals by Tyler Scar-borough and Carson Bowman, respectively. Tied 2-2 going into the third, McCoy Kleppe scored what turned out to be the game winner about a minute into the period.

From there, the Panthers’ defense clamped down and did a great job of keeping the puck out of their zone, mak-ing life easier for goalkeeper Vaughn Hengeller.

“The beginning of the game was kind of hard seeing all (the Tigers) players come in and try to take us down,” Hengeller said. “We got stronger as the game went along.”

Defender Owen Gaul said a big key to the Panthers’ success was due to the amount of time they spend to-gether on the ice.

“Since we’ve known each other for so long we just know we’re everyone is all the time,” Gaul said. “A team that doesn’t know where someone is gives up passes and breakaways, and we don’t do that very much.”

Center Jacob Thorpe said the latest championship is even more special because of the many accomplishments the team has had along the way. Woodland Park compiled

an overall 39-3-2 record.“For us to come out right away this season and keep

winning games was really special,” he said.The Pee Wees tournament victories came in the Mile

High Meltdown in Arapahoe, the Woodland Park Outdoor Invitational and the Ian Tuthill Memorial Tournament in Arvada.

The rest of the Pee Wee player roster consisted of Sam Bradley, Grayson Rockenbach, Jacob Hedrick, Colton Sell, Corey Fischer, Piper Doust, Kiko Miller, Kate Wood and

Samuel Thorpe.Jed Bowman was the head coach, He was assisted by

Dan Bradley and Kirk Miller.“I am not going to declare where I am going to coach

next year,” Jed Bowman said, indicating he might move up to the Bantams with many of his Pee Wees. “I still have a Pee Wee next year, and a Bantam next year, so I guess, ide-ally, it would be nice to coach both.”

The Woodland Park Bantams fi nished third in the CSAHA this season, as did the Squirts.

by the exchange can be described as follows: The Turkey Rock Recreation Association operates

eleven small reservoirs that are located on Turkey Creek for the benefi t of its members. The purpose

of the exchange is to replace out-of-priority evaporation losses from each of the reservoirs using

consumptive use water provided by the Mountain Mutual Reservoir Company (“MMRC”), thereby

allowing the reservoirs to stay full at all times. Stream segments impacted by the exchange are

portions of the North Fork of the South Platte River, the South Platte River, the Middle Fork of the

South Platte River and Turkey Creek. The downstream point of the exchange is the confl uence of

the North Fork of the South Platte River and the South Platte River located in the SW1/4 SE1/4 of

No. 1 is conveyed in both the Middle Fork of the South Platte River and the South Platte River to

the confl uence of the South Platte River and Turkey Creek; and thence up Turkey Creek as above

described. C. Source: The source of water for the exchange is consumptive use water yielded by

the Slaght Ditch and Mack Ditch No. 2 water rights owed by MMRC, as quantifi ed in Case No.

2 water rights are stored in Maddox Reservoir, located in the NE1/4 SW1/4 of Section 22, Township

7 South, Range 73 West, 6th P.M., Park County, or the Lower Sacramento Creek Reservoir No. 1,

located in the NE1/4 NW1/4 of Section 32 and the SE1/4 SW1/4 of Section 29, Township 9 South,

Range 77 West, 6th P.M., Park County, for release during the non-irrigation season. Reference is

made to the Decree in Case No. 2007CW200 for more detailed information. D. Appropriation Date:

above referenced reservoirs. 5. Date Water Applied to Benefi cial Uses: The fi rst day the exchange

was operated was November 1, 2010. WHEREFORE, Applicant requests that the Court enter an

Order making the Turkey Rock Recreation Association Exchange Absolute in the amount of 0.02 of

a cubic foot per second for augmentation, replacement and exchange purposes. (4 pages).

s New! Superior Plus Whole Food Vitamin & Mineral

Our Whole Food Vitamin offers a high potency spectrum of all essential vitamins and minerals along with an abundance of other important nutrients including a vegetable and fruit complex, spirulina, green tea extract, grape seed, pine bark extract, Co Q10, Quercetin, digestive enzymes and a multitude of herbs.I am very excited states Mark Duvall ( co-owner of Whole In The Wall Herb Shoppe) that almost everyone I have given a free sample comes back that day or the next to purchase a bottle. 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 components of these fruits are nature’s richest sources of citrus bio-fl avonoids, vitamin C, and powerful antioxidants which may reduce clotting tendencies and inhibit oxidation of LDL cholesterol. Research confi rms that a diet high in biofl avonoid contributes to a reduced risk of heart disease.
