145-foot mural unveiled, tells story of ‘Us’ Councilmember Brovetto resigns By Norma Engelberg Contributing writer
At the Feb. 19 Woodland Park City Council meeting, artist Lois Sprague and Woodland Arts Al-liance representative Scott Stea-rman unveiled the rendering for a new mural covering Woodland Park’s history from its Ute Nation days to the 1950s.
“The art’s alliance board of di-rectors feel that public art done well will have a positive impact on the tone of our community,” Stea-rman said. “This new mural gives us an opportunity to make that positive impact.”
He explained the reasoning behind the board’s choice for the fi rst mural in the city’s mural proj-ect.
“This fi rst mural has to be a home run, something beyond whimsy and decoration,” Stea-rman said. “We all came here by choice and we want to tell the story of those who came before us and made Woodland Park the place where we chose to live. We want to tell the story of us, start-ing with the Utes and ending with a time when cars and horses still shared our streets.”
The board chose Sprague, a lo-cal artist noted for her portraiture, to create the mural and chose for its location the 145-foot wall of the Ute Pass Cultural Center that faces The Green and Midland Pa-vilion.
To prepare the Ute Nation por-tion of the mural, Sprague and Stearman visited the Northern and Southern Utes, including Roland McCook, the great, great grandson of Chief Ouray and Chipeta. McCook’s face will domi-nate that section of the mural.
The mural will be completed in three sections with each section unveiled separately. Sprague said McCook might be available for the fi rst section’s unveiling. She plans to start preparation work in May and start painting in June.
Other sections of the mural will cover lumbering, trains and the Ute Stampede Rodeo. Each sec-tion will include both text and a QR code leading to recordings by local voices explaining that sec-tion.
“The city has set aside $3,000 in its 2015 budget to help with this project,” said City Manager David Buttery, adding, “This is not the season for painting but it is the season for fundraising.”
The arts alliance will solicit donations and the faces of big donors could become faces in the mural, Sprague said.
Buttery explained that there is no liability involve with painting a mural on a city building, saying, “We’re just repainting the building in an artistic way.”
Councilmember Gary Brovetto provided the impetus that led to the city’s acceptance into the state’s Main Street Program and the possibility of creating a mural project and starting a creative arts district but at the end of the Feb. 19 meeting he resigned.
“I did as much as I could to enhance our community and its economic development,” he said. “I’m losing my motivation so now it’s time for someone else to take over. I’m going to take some time off and veg-out. Some people come to Woodland Park to do that and then take on too much work.”
Councilmembers and Mayor Neil Levy thanked Brovetto for his hard work and Councilman Ken Matthews led council and the au-dience in giving Brovetto a stand-ing ovation.
According to the city charter, council has 30 days to appoint a new councilmember to take Brovetto’s place. Advertising for letters of intention to serve has al-ready started.
The city’s recently reactivated Charter Review Advisory Com-mittee will likely take a look at amending that 30-day timeline. Three councilmembers serve on the committee and council also appointed community members Gretchen Bundy-Ladowicz, Pe-ter Scanlon and former Council-member Eric Smith, leaving one more vacancy to fi ll. The com-mittee’s fi rst meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. on March 4 in the city hall upstairs conference room. All such meetings are public.
Council also appointed Kath-ryn Kindt to the Keep Woodland Park Beautiful Committee. There is also one more opening on that committee.
At the Feb. 5 council meeting, Buttery introduced an ordinance that continues the budget appro-priations to pay the city’s 1999 Certifi cates of Participation just
in case it fails to refi nance those COPs to pay for construction of a new Fleet Maintenance Building and Memorial Park renovations. Council gave fi nal approval to
the ordinance and also approved a resolution supporting a request for a $350,000 grant from Great Outdoors Colorado for Memorial Park.

Economy on the upswing; real estate a mixed bag Divide has largeincrease in land sales By Pat Hill [email protected]
While commercial property and land in Teller County and Woodland Park remain in the shadow of the Great Recession, there are silver linings in the economic forecast.
“In Teller County, you cannot underesti-mate the positive impact of Charis Bible Col-lege,” said Mark Weaver, president of Ascent Commercial Group. “You’ve got the potential of 2,500 students and, for a town this size, the college is an enormous generator of people and employment.”
Weaver was among the professionals pre-dicting the future at the third annual event hosted by Betty Clark-Wine, Teller County’s assessor.
Because of the Bible college, the rental
market is hot, said Dale Schnitker, vice presi-dent of Vectra Bank.
Since 2013, rental rates for the average apartment have increased by $300 a month, said Sharon Roshek, owner/broker with the Roshek Group at Coldwell Banker 1st Choice Realty. However, Trail Ridge Apartments have helped reduce the need for rental units, she added.
Real estate is a mixed bag. For instance,
homes in the $150,000 range are selling but there are fewer of them while homes priced at $400,000 or above are not selling, Roshek said.
In 2009, the median sales price was $187,850; in 2014, the median in 2014 in Woodland Park was $229,000. “Divide is the only area that actually went down in median price,” she said.

Revenues down, optimism up By Pat Hill [email protected]
For a city that depends on gaming for its revenue stream, Cripple Creek had a bad year in 2014. “We’re cautiously optimistic for 2015,” said City Manager Ray DuBois, speaking at the Teller County Economic Forecast forum Feb. 18.
Gaming provides 61 percent of the city’s revenue, the amount dependent upon the number of devices, such as slot machines, in the city’s casinos.
In the last ten years, however, with the closures of several casinos, gaming revenue is down by 30 percent, from $2.6 billion in 2004 to $1.8 billion last year, DuBois said.
DuBois attributes the drop to the expan-sion of gaming around the nation, includ-ing several operating on Indian reserva-tions. “Plus, Black Hawk has changed the game a little bit with their Las Vegas-style gaming,” he said. “Cripple Creek has re-ally stayed with the historic aspect; Cripple Creek is a model for what was voted in by the people in the early `90s.”
The Waldo Canyon Fire and subsequent fl ooding in 2012 and 2013, followed by construction on U.S. 24, affected Cripple Creek’s gaming revenue, DuBois said.
Despite all the negatives, which tempo-rarily included a $4 million construction project on Bennett Avenue, DuBois offered reasons for his optimistic outlook. “We now
have favorable gas prices,” he said. “And Bronco Billy’s is expanding into what is now the vacant Gold Rush building, which should add another 100 betting devices.”
The widening of Bennett Avenue is com-plete and is now a plus for traffi c fl ow in the city.
Along with the optimistic outlook for next year, DuBois offered a long-range view of the economy in southern Teller County. “Heritage tourism, think about that,” he said.
Some visitors are. Attendance at the Butte Theatre was up by 8.2 percent, or 20,000 people, while 46,000 people went to the Heritage Center in 2014. Visits to the jail museum were up by 9 percent and
the number of riders on the trolley car in-creased by 33 percent.
“We’re seeing more families coming up,” DuBois said.
In a nod to the business owners in the audience that day, DuBois cited that 32,000 cars were counted on Colo. Highway 67 and Teller 1 the second weekend in Feb-ruary. “Take an average of two people per car, you’re talking the number of potential customers who might stop here and shop is anywhere from 3,000 to 60,000 a day,” he said. “Think about that.”
DuBois was one of several speakers at the forum but the only one focused on Cripple Creek.

Good numbers follow festival’s � rst weekend City to purchase new shuttle with the help of federal grant By Sonja Oliver Contributing writer
Cripple Creek City Manager Ray DuBois reported some very good numbers for the Ice Festival’s fi rst weekend, Feb. 13-15.
DuBois said the highway traffi c counters tabulated approximately 55,000 cars which is “up 30-35 percent over a regular (winter-time) weekend” and, weather permitting, they expect an increased number of visitors for the second weekend.
Following the offi cial fi nish of the ice festival, DuBois said that the ice sculptures will remain on Bennett Ave. for the next few weeks or until they are deemed to be “un-safe.”
Some of the sculptures are interactive, such as the polar bear slide and a castle
maze, and can still be enjoyed by the public.In DuBois’ report to council, he said that
the city was seeking public input before the next council meeting, scheduled for Mar. 4, concerning outdoor common consump-tion areas for alcohol.
DuBois said the city was looking at the allowance of alcohol outside of establish-ments, but only in “certain designated ar-eas” with “defi nite physical barriers.”
DuBois also wanted to bring to council’s attention some interesting numbers con-cerning gaming money in Colorado that is “put down on tables and in slot machines.” Last year’s gaming revenues were $1.8 bil-lion, 30 percent down from 2004’s high of $2.8 billion. However, he said the 2015 Jan-uary numbers are strong locally; only three-tenth’s of 1 percent down from last year.
“Cripple Creek is a destination location with lots to do in addition to gaming,” Du-Bois added.
In other city business on the agenda for
the Feb. 18 meeting, the council approved a 5311 federal transportation grant agree-ment that will move forward the purchase of a new shuttle. The budgeted price for the shuttle is $80,000 with the 80 percent fed-eral share to be $64,000 and the city’s share coming in at $16,000.
Transportation Manager Ted Schweitzer said that the shuttle to be replaced had 157,000 miles and they were “hard miles because they were short miles.”
In addition to the federal share for the shuttle purchase, another 5311 federal transportation grant was approved by the city which will pay for a portion of adminis-tration and operating costs with regards to the city’s new shuttle.
The federal government will share 80 percent ($38,100) of the administrative costs with the city’s obligation to be $9,525. Operating costs, which include fuel, sala-ries and maintenance, will be shared equal-ly with the city at $120,520 each for a t
Schweitzer said the city had been bear-ing 100 percent of these costs.
The city council complimented Sch-weitzer for his initiative for pursuing the grant.
Acting as the Planning Commission, the council approved the vacation of lot lines for lots one through nine on property owned by St. Peter’s Catholic Church locat-ed at 316 N. Third St.
In the submitted letter of intent the ap-plicant stated, “There are no plans at this time for any additional development or construction.” However, the church is look-ing at the use of the property for a parking lot and eventually a Parish Hall at some point should funds become available.
It was noted that a parking lot would al-leviate congestion from street parking at that location on Sundays. The council will have a fi nal vote regarding vacation of the lot lines at its next scheduled meeting on Mar. 4.
High altitude gardening classes explore tricky art Topics to include best plants to grow here By Sonja Oliver Contributing writer
The Florissant Grange No. 420 will host gardener Kathy Kniss for the fi rst of two gardening classes on Saturday, March 7 from noon to 3 p.m. The second class will be held on Friday, April 10 from 6 to 9 p.m.
Gardening at high altitude can be tricky and Kniss will teach about the type of plants that grow best in this area, how to start a garden and the many nuances that make a suc-cessful garden.
The class will cover seed selec-tion and garden design, container gardens, garden towers, sunken cold frames, critter protection, propagation, transplanting, soil building, composting, organic gar-dening, season extension and pres-ervation of the bounty (harvest).
“People think mountain gar-dening is diffi cult, but you can still garden up here and it’s easy if you know what to do,” Kniss said.
“Some plants that do well in this area are peas, greens, onions, herbs, potatoes, lettuce, broccoli, beets and carrots — even tomatoes. It’s the (seed) variety that makes the difference,” Kniss said.
Kniss said there will be an em-phasis on budget-friendly methods
which makes gardening affordable, and added that people think it is an expensive endeavor — but it doesn’t have to be.
Kniss said she will show attend-ees steps on how to build a garden tower on a budget.
“(The towers) can go for $1,700 retail but I built mine for $60, and that includes the peat moss, pearl-ite and worms.” Kniss said.
Kniss will be also cover the many reasons to garden — environmen-tal, economic, health, biodiversity — in an entertaining and informa-tive format.
In addition, Kniss says she has an organic approach to gardening.
“Part of why I teach is because of all of the additives and GMO foods
out there. I am still eating off of my own produce from last season and I know where it comes from,” Kniss said.
The classes will cover garden projects which are documented with step by step, along with do-it-yourself photos as well as gardening technique photos from around the world.
Starter sets of seed packages will also be available for purchase at an incredible discount.
A suggested donation of $5 per class will benefi t the Florissant Grange for ongoing restoration of the 1880s era schoolhouse.

vital care in a geographic region that is extensive and remote,” Poulson said. “Prospect gives members of the com-munity hand-up so they can get back into being a productive member of the workforce.”
Prospect’s clients include people recovering from surgeries or injuries suffered in a fall in addition to provid-ing end-of-life care. “The more I know about what they do, the more I realize what a vital resource they are and that $25,000 is going to help increase their reach.”
Prospect is unique among organi-zations in Teller County. “We do every-thing relating to the three programs, Helping Hands, hospice and home care,” said Mary Barrowman, presi-dent and chief executive offi cer. “We read all the regulations, from national,
state and local, distill those and write them into policy.”
Each program has its own rules, regulations and billing requirements. “I have Medicare, Medicaid and 25 dif-ferent contracts with private health-insurance companies - when I bill ev-eryone I achieve 75 percent of what it costs to deliver care,” Barrowman said.
The organization relies on grants, donations and fundraisers to fi ll gaps in its $1.2 million annual budget. “Employee salaries and wages are in line with the market,” Barrowman said. “Prospect has to have extremely skilled nurses, physical and occupa-tional therapists, speech/language pa-thologists, home care aides, personal-care providers.”
Barrowman is proud of her staff of 10 full time and 20 part-time employ-ees. “They are sophisticated, highly-educated and in short supply nation-ally, let alone in Teller County,” she said. “Of those experts, Prospect seeks employees who choose to work in the mountains.”
Prospect’s staff works in less-than-ideal conditions at times. “They drive treacherous, icy, muddy roads, in or-der to come into the home and per-sonally take care of people in their environment,” she said. “It’s a lot of windshield time, alone time; you’re not sharing this wound care or this need with another partner or the next shift.”
Costs are higher for an organiza-tion that serves a small market. “We see about 40 hospice patients, 275 home-care patients and about 80 in the Helping Hands program a year,” Barrowman said. “Those numbers are what competitors would have on a daily basis.”
The CC &V grant is a gift that helps the organization continue its work. “They have a special corporate phi-losophy - they give back, they care,” Barrowman said. “I feel strongly that our citizens deserve the same right as an urban population. And Cripple Creek & Victor Mining Co. has made that possible.”

Florissant back in favor with health department By Pat Hill [email protected]
After being sanctioned for noncompliance with state water-quality standards, the Florissant Water & Sanitation District is back in the good graces of the Colorado Depart-ment of Public Health and Environment.
With a new board dedicated to improving water qual-ity and reducing debt, the CDPHE awarded the district a $950,000 grant last year, added $200,000 recently, to im-prove the infrastructure with a WesTech Microfl oc fi ltration system.
In the past, many of the district’s 94 customers were turning on faucets that delivered brown tap water taint-ed by nitrates, iron and manganese. While the water was deemed safe, nonetheless, the state mandated that the dis-trict upgrade the aging system.
“We’ll replace pipes and fi ltration systems inside the building,” said Barb Faux, who, with her husband, Bob Faux, is on the board of directors. As well, the improve-ments include three holding tanks outside the facility.
“The neat thing is that, as a board, we went to the Wood-land Park Water Department, and saw the same system on a much larger scale,” Faux said. “It’s a wonderful system and
that’s what Aqua-Works’ Adam Som-mers has designed for us.”
Sommers, an en-gineer, is expected to select a contrac-tor for the project by the end of the month, with con-struction slated to begin in April.
It’s been a long haul for the board, which was appoint-ed by Teller County commissioners after the state clamped down on the district. Today’s board mem-bers, in addition to
the Fauxes, are: Cathy Valdez, Ginger Bruvold and Chris Penland. Valdez and Bruvold were the only two retained from the previous board.
Among the infractions cited by the state were, in ad-
dition to a substandard fi ltration system, were sloppy re-cords, no monetary reserves or fi nancial audits and an il-legal election.
The new board started the upswing with the installation of smart meters, which are read by Bob Faux and Penland. “We’re actually billing customers for what they’re using,” Faux said. “We were getting false readings for years.”
With accurate readings, district customers are paying more for their water while helping to put the district in the black. “We’re managing our debt better because we have taken out a consolidation loan, lowered our payments and spread them out over a longer period,” Barb Faux said.
Bob Faux added. “It’s taken a long time to get to this point, but it’s nice,” he said. “The best part is that the cus-tomer is going to have very good water.”
If the water infraction weren’t bad enough, the district was also cited by the state for its wastewater treatment sys-tem, which was unable to meet pending discharge permit limits.
For now, the board has its collective fi ngers crossed that the CDPHE will look favorably on its application for anoth-er $950,000 grant to replace the wastewater lagoon system. “The lagoons are an archaic system,” Barb Faux said.
If the district wins the grant, construction is a year or two out.

OPINIONY O U R S & O U R S
Medicinal whiskey and ‘the loophole’ During prohibition in the ‘20s and
early ‘30s, it was often referred to as “the Loophole.”Section 6 and 7 of the Volstead Act, pro-vided a way to legally purchase and sell Whiskey at a time when it was otherwise — a criminal activity.
“No one shall manufacture, sell, pur-chase, transport, or prescribe any liquor without first obtaining a permit from the commissioner to do so, except that a person may, without a permit, purchase and use liquor for medicinal purposes …” There was more legalese, stipulations and etceteras, of course, but the lawyers saw light in Section 6, and Section 7 gave some power to the doctor.
“No one but a physician holding a permit to prescribe liquor shall issue any prescription for liquor. And no physician shall prescribe liquor unless after careful physical examination of the person for whose use such prescription is sought, or such examination is found impracti-cable, then upon the best information obtainable, he in good faith believes that the use of such liquor as medicine by such person is necessary and will afford relief to him from some known ailment.”
Men of vision, like pharmacist-turned-lawyer George Remus, memo-rized the Volstead Act and imagined and realized tremendous profit from its “Loophole.” Remus bought his first phar-macy when he was only 19 but tired of the business and became a lawyer at 24, according to author Thomas M. Coffey, in his 1975 book “The Long Thirst – Pro-hibition in America, 1920-1933.”
Remus specialized in murder cases and at the beginning of prohibition he noticed that many of his clients, of whom he had no great respect for their
intelligence, were making a tremendous amount of money. About the same time he began an affair with his secretary, Imogene, divorced his wife, and decided to use his knowledge of the law to profit from prohibition.
He and Imogene were soon remarried (she had a 13-year-old daughter, Ruth), and they moved to Cincinnati to be near the bourbon distillery country.Remus bought distressed distilleries and pharmacies and amassed a network that sold and transported legal whiskey from his distilleries to his pharmacies scattered across the country in specially designed trucks.
Much of the product, somehow “fell off the truck” on the way to its destina-tion. In his first three years at that busi-ness, it was reported that he made $40 million.
By New Year’s Eve of 1922, he was making so much money and spreading it around so quickly that all the female guests at a party at his mansion, hosted by he and his wife Imogene, received a new car. But not to leave out the men; diamond watches were offered for their husbands. The wives and husbands just happened to be well-connected politi-cians, policemen, government officials, and such. “The Loophole” was very good to George Remus.
It, and the path it carried him down, also eventually landed him in jail. Per-haps because of something that “fell off the truck.”
And, while he was in jail, his wife Imogene, ran off with a “revenuer” (Franklin Dodge, prohibition agent) and “liquidated” his fortune. When he got out, he tracked her down and killed her in front of her daughter Ruth, and then successfully defended himself in court with a “temporary insanity” plea.
But Remus wasn’t the only one that saw benefits in “The Loophole.”Though prohibition killed many good whiskey distilleries, some of the oldest operations surviving today found shelter in the medicine business at that time.
American Medicinal Spirits, for example, was formed around 1920 and preserved such longtime brands as Old Grand Dad, Mount Vernon, Hermit-age, Tip-Top and Old Crow. All of these brands as a result were well positioned after repeal.
Interestingly enough, the decriminal-ization of marijuana, decided by Colo-rado voters in 2000 with a constitutional amendment that allows people with “debilitating medical conditions” to reg-ister with the state to use marijuana and allows “primary care givers” to legally supply for medical conditions — sounds more than vaguely familiar.
A Colorado constitutional amend-ment was OKed by voters in November 2012, after 55 percent of voters said yes to legalizing recreational marijuana. Colorado pot sales began in 2014.
In some ways, it seems the “medici-nal” marijuana change foreshadowed the “recreational” one — perhaps 21st Century equivalent “The Loophole?”
Baseball’s spring training has � nally arrived On Feb. 27, the Colorado Rockies will
hold their first full workout of the 2015 season at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick near Phoenix. By the end of the week all 30 major league teams will be at their spring training complexes in Arizona and Florida.
For many fans of the game, spring training is a great time to get an up close and personal look at their favorite major league stars and prospects. The spring training complexes and ballparks offer easy access for fans and the weather is usually perfect. You would not want to be in downtown Phoenix of Fort Lauder-dale in the middle of summer.
In Arizona, they call spring training the Cactus League. In Florida it is called the Grapefruit League.
In my opinion, spring training is unmatched by any other major sport. Does anybody really go hog wild over NFL training camps in July and August? Or NHL or NBA camps in September and October? Major League Soccer has a training camp, but the families mak-ing vacation plans around the Columbus Crew preseason workouts are few and far between.
From its early days — at least since the early 1900s — baseball’s spring train-ing has had a held a special place in the hearts and minds of much of the Ameri-can public. It is increasingly becoming a bigger deal to large multitudes of fans in Latin American countries and the Far East.
The beauty of spring training, in large part, comes from the busy off-season, or Hot Stove League. During the late fall and winter months, fans keep the
game alive with talk of the next season. Somehow, someway, teams that finished in the back of the pack one year become contenders five months later.
Hope springs eternal for “dem Bums,” “Halos,” “Fightin’ Phils,” “Brew Crew,” “Twinkies” and “The Sox.”
It’s been a while since I covered spring training. The last time was 2002 when I went to Arizona on assignment for The Gazette and San Bernardino (Calif.) Sun newspapers. In those days, the Rockies shared Hi Corbett Field in Tucson with the Cleveland Indians. The dilapidated complex was not pretty to look at, but it had a wonderful spring training feel.
The players were easily accessible and generally very friendly to fans and the media. Larry Walker and Todd Helton were kings and in very big demand.
The Seattle Mariners, who I was there to cover for The Sun, were training in Phoenix. They were coming off a 116-win season. Mariners’ outfielder Ichiro Suzuki was the reining American League MVP and Rookie of the Year. Lou Piniella was the manager of the club and the Mariners were about the coolest thing in all of baseball.
I had a great week in Arizona covering the Rockies and Seattle. I collected sev-eral foul balls, kicked back in the desert warmth and enjoyed the games.
Growing up in southern California, the then California Angels used to train in Palm Springs. The Angels trained there from 1961 through 1992.
The stadium was about a one-hour drive from my house in Redlands. Opened in 1949, it was more of a city park — much like Spurgeon Field in Colorado Springs — than the lavish spring training facilities of today.
The memories I made there have lasted me a lifetime. Seeing Nolan Ryan, Frank Tanana, Bobby Bonds, Reggie Jackson, Joe Rudi, Bobby Grich and Don Baylor up close was the thrill of a lifetime. I will never forget a time in 1982 when the late Billy Martin came to town as manager of the Oakland A’s. I got his autograph on a ball after one game. He was pretty cool.
If you get the chance to make it to spring training, I hope the memories are as wonderful for you as they are for me.
And if you do make it down to Arizona you may want to stop by Maryvale Base-ball Park in Phoenix and check out the Milwaukee Brewers. After all, the Brew-ers are the new Triple-A affiliate of the Colorado Springs Sky Sox. Get familiar with their players.
Just in case you were wondering, the first regular season major league base-ball game is April 5 between the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals. Opening Day is April 6. The Rockies will be in Milwaukee that day.

Dear Editor:I am announcing that this is my last
council meeting.I have dedicated myself for the last three years and feel I did as much as I could to enhance the quality of life of Woodland Park citizens.
I started the dialogue which created the main street program and creative arts district. These two programs, I believe, are vital to the economic development of Woodland Park. Economic development is important to create an environment to help existing businesses thrive and to encourage new quality businesses to our town.
This enhances our Community to provide an environment which will give our citizens a reason to come downtown to socialize and recreate. This will also give us the possibility to increase sales tax revenue so that we can do more for our citizens than just provide the basics.
Without economic development we may not have sales tax revenue to do such things as pay off the aquatic center impending debt, operating and mainte-nance costs. I encourage the council to continue their support of both mainstream and creative arts district programs. I have also helped the dda establish a vision for woodland station. I still have a vision for a thriving, community friendly, woodland park.
Under the current circumstances, I have lost my drive, motivation and enthusiasm to continue. I, therefore, believe it is in the best interest of our community to resign and provide the opportunity for someone

Life is a highway I mentioned earlier about the change
in the highway from Colorado Springs to Pueblo. Today I want to go deeper into the story. It was January 1928 while the highway department was looking to build a safer highway. It was not called US 85-87 yet.
The highway was dangerous. It was still just a gravel road. It crossed over the two sets of railroad tracks that connect Denver and Pueblo nearly 50 times. Only one of these very dangerous crossings was just north of Monument. The state visited town several times in 1927 with plans for the new road.
Monument was not very happy about the ideas about where they wanted to build the highway. At this time the highway followed an old wagon road north from Colorado Springs, through Monument. What really upset Monument was the new highway would not come through town, but down a new street. The city wanted the highway department to build an underpass at the two crossings north of town.
They were unable to get all of their ideas changed in the plan, and fi ve miles of the new paved road was already nearly fi nished south from Castle Rock. Paving started from Pueblo in March. A paving plant was soon to move to an operation at Palmer Lake, where the new highway was progressing south from Larkspur. Once that stretch was fi nished, that plant would move south to Monument, where the road
would not use the main street, but build east around their downtown. This crew, like the crews working north from Pueblo worked in fi ve mile jumps. The crew work-ing north from Pueblo was nearing the Pueblo-El Paso county line.
At Monument there were big changes north of town. To eliminate the dangerous grade crossings, both the Rio Grande and Santa Fe would have new underpass bridg-es built. The new highway would come south from Palmer Lake, under the bridges, then swing south, following the Santa Fe all the way south to Pring (where Baptist Road crosses.) There was still a grade crossing in Monument, over the Santa Fe, but it was not as dangerous as the one north of town.
This road was the route used until the 1950s when the new US 85-87 was built over Monument Hill. A few years later it became Interstate 25. As you travel through the Air Force Academy you can still see bits of it. It is still used from Baptist Road to Larkspur.
No substitute for being educated According to the CDC, the measles
outbreak that had its genesis in the Dis-neyland complex in Anaheim, California in mid-December of last year is showing no signs of waning. CBS news reported on Feb. 17, that there have been 141 reported cases in 17 states, including one in Colo-rado.
The reemergence of a disease declared eradicated by the CDC in 2000 has reig-nited the contentious debate over vaccines and immunizations. The website http://thinkprogress.org/ reports that, in lieu of vaccinations, some California parents are holding “measles parties,” where their unvaccinated children can have a play date with kids infected with the measles.
The theory is that exposing the well children to the sick children will help build up the “natural” resistance of the well child. Good idea?
“Measles is a serious illness that can have signifi cant consequences,” says Cali-fornia state epidemiologist Dr. Gil Chavez. He added that 30% of people who have been infected in the current outbreak have
been hospitalized.Regardless if measles parties are a good
idea, many parents are questioning the safety of childhood immunizations won-dering if the vaccines cause more harm than good. Even with the knowledge that vaccines save lives, there exists an uncer-tainty about what response a particular vaccine may trigger in a child’s body.
There is little argument about the effi ca-cy of the immunization process in protect-ing both children and adults from disease. Vaccines are arguably the greatest medical success story of the twentieth century.
The average number of annual smallpox
cases from 1900 to 1904 was 48,164. There have been no reported smallpox incidents in the United States since 1950.
Paralytic polio cases from 1951 though 1954 averaged 147,271 per year. The last case of naturally occurring paralytic polio in the United States was in 1979. Get the idea?
Vaccines work by injecting an inacti-vated (dead) agent or, in some cases, a weakened live organism into a child, which stimulates the body’s immune system into reacting as if there were a real infec-tion. The immune system then attacks the “pseudo infection” and remembers the organism, so if it enters the body in the future, the immune system can quickly fi ght it off.
Proponents of the immunization pro-cess are hard at work attempting to dispel numerous myths that are prolifi c through-out the Internet. One is that there are “hot lots” of vaccine that are associated with more adverse reactions.
The other common myth is that vac-cines cause many harmful side effects,
including death. The CDC says both are false.
Immunizations opponents are not so easily convinced contending that placing the testing process in the hands of manu-facturers is akin to putting the fox in charge of the chicken coop. In addition, they refer to numerous antidotal reports that link vaccines to adverse side effects.
So, where does that leave you as a parent who wants the safest and most ef-fective health care for your children? You might want to visit http://vaccines.procon.org/, where you’ll fi nd a balanced presen-tations of the arguments for and against vaccines.
There’s no substitute for being edu-cated.

Dear Editor:
The Green Mountain Falls Board of Trustees are now offering workshops, regu-lar/special meetings, executive sessions that last until 1 a.m. — yes, a.m. and as of Feb. 17 — potentially disastrous fi nancial news.
First was the Special Meeting of Jan. 27, 2015 that was immediately called into ex-ecutive session over “municipal contracts” and continued from 8 p.m. to past 10 p.m. What “municipal contracts” were pub-licly reported? One for a small fence and concrete work and a discussion on the Town Hall audio/visual needs for live streaming. Could that really take 2 hours?
Then came the workshop/special (regu-lar) meeting on Feb. 4. Why Wed. and not the regular Tues. scheduled meeting? The Clerk “forgot” to post the meeting. Revising the law for passing town ordinances (laws) was the topic of discussion. For at least 38 years Green Mountain Falls has followed the law designated for cities along with Woodland Park and Cripple Creek. But in December when the Board of Trustees failed to publish and provide a public hearing for budget approval Trustee Tyler Stevens stated this inconvenience was just further evidence “that the Ordinances just don’t work for us.” What would work for this board of trustees? The clerk could
post a new law on Monday at 5 p.m. and the board of trustees could approve it at 7 p.m. the next day at a regular meeting. This is “convenient” for seven people in GMF but what about the other 600? Citizens voiced a need for a public hearing but the board (and with Town Attorney Matt Krob’s insistence) would only offer the option of a “workshop” which is usually held at 6 p.m. when the average citizen returns from work and/or is having dinner.
This workshop ended, the special meet-ing (minutes provided by Jane Newberry) ended with the town clerk apologizing for “what I’ve missed” and executive session (with all employees) started at 10 p.m. lasting three hours. A few citizens stayed waiting in the hallway. While chatting the Marshal came out of the meeting and said, “Keep quite or just leave.” Nice way to get citizens to remain interested in Town meetings. Mac Pitrone and Jane Newberry stayed until 1 a.m. What took three hours?
The bombshell came Tuesday, Jan. 17. Look at the January 2015 balance sheet and January expenditures on Lorrie Worthey’s Facebook page or call town hall. January expenditures were $43,941.36 and revenues $24,462.07! That’s negative $19,379.29. Salaries and benefi ts for the month: Marshal $5,519.90, clerk $5,270.78 and 1.5 Public Works employees $6,580.92 for a grand total of $17,371.60. Then it was an-nounced the town is short of their match-ing funds for the DOLA grant for the town hall project and the town needs to come up with $86,000 to satisfy the requirements of the grant. DOLA is withholding a payment which appears to be the $144,020 on the balance sheet. Another note — no bills were paid from Feb. 1 through Feb. 17, ac-cording to the agenda.
Maybe the Town should hire a second attorney who specializes in municipal bankruptcy.

Awards announced by Chamber of CommerceBy Greater Woodland Park Chamber of Commerce
One of the most prestigious awards presented by the Greater Woodland Park Chamber is that of Wagon Boss. A Wagon Boss should be a person of great ethical standards and a distinguished leader who is actively involved in the community.
• Wagon Boss: Tony Perry, president of Park State Bank & Trust. Perry is a solid com-munity leader with an established history of working behind the scenes to promote and improve life in the Woodland Park/Teller County region. Admiration among his business peers stood out consistently throughout his nomination packet.
Perry brings a thoughtful and ambitious perspective to some of the most important community activities in the region.
Mayor Neil Levy, current Wagon Boss, said, “There is not a person among us who has done more for our business community over the last five years than Tony. His will-ingness to lead the Main Street Makeover and provide guidance in times of need is unmatched.”
Perry is involved in helping the Pikes Peak Regional Hospital, El Tesoro Retreat Center, Pikes Peak Region Boy Scouts, Little Chapel Food Pantry, Ute Pass Saddle Club, Choices, Habitat for Humanity, Help the Needy, Ute Pass Symphony Guild, Wood-land Park Aquatic Project and the Main Street Makeover.
Terry Buckner, chief executive officer of PPRH, said, “Tony is a true advocate sup-porting our mission to provide top quality medical services for all Teller County resi-dents.”
• Volunteer of the Year: Shannon Hell-man, branch manager of Vectra Bank.
Shannon works a full-time job but still manages to volunteer for organizations such as Junior Achievement, where she has taught at both Summit and Gateway el-ementary schools.
Working with organizations such as Habitat for Humanity’s Women’s Build Day, a Torch Run for Special Olympics, bell ring-ing for the Salvation Army and Lions Club Donkey Basketball were just a few of the organizations noted in the nomination packet. When she leaves work she puts on the hat of Mom to two rambunctious twin five-year-old boys who keep her and her husband, Steve, on their toes. “Shannon is a unique individual who finds the time to give back outside of her career and family commitments. She is the epitome of what we seek in a volunteer candidate.” said Jed Bowman, chairman of the chamber board.
• Employee of the Year, Renee Bunting: “Described as a blessing to the agency she works for along with being a chronic over-achiever is a true description of our 2014 Employee of the Year,” said Debbie Miller, chamber president. “I am honored to have worked with her through a variety of pro-grams, but more importantly to call her my friend, too.”
Bunting arrived in Teller County in 2007 and promptly put her talents and skills to work for the betterment of the region. She joined the Teller County Sheriff’s Office in 2013, serving as the Director of Information and Events, a role that is significant to in-ternal and external functions of the office. She approaches every task with diligence and conscientiousness. Her organizational skills and goal-oriented strategy allow her to effectively meet challenges head-on, which in turn relates to visible successes with her duties at the sheriff’s office. As Vice President of the Sheriff’s Leadership Coun-
cil, Bunting handles internal office issues as an ombudsman, balancing sensitivity for the employees involved with the ongoing need for discipline and structure within the organization. She serves as the critical con-duit of information to the sheriff regarding public events, law enforcement publica-tions and relevant pending legislation. “In a community where relationships are highly valued, Renee builds bridges and nurtures relationships on behalf of the sheriff’s office in a highly successful manner,” said David Buttery, Woodland Park City Manager.
• Nonprofit of the Year: Charis Bible Col-lege. In January of 2014, Charis Bible Col-lege opened its Woodland Park campus to more than 600 students and a staff of 75 people.
In keeping with their mission, the college equips men and women to have an impact in the world and their community doing the work of the ministry which includes gradu-ates who go out as bible-school directors, missionaries, pastors and teachers. The school changes the lives of their students by teaching them to follow the truths of the Bible, which has a positive impact within their own families, their communities and their workplace.
Many of the Charis students volunteer in projects such as cleanup efforts after the Waldo Canyon Fire, sprucing up at Garden of the Gods, cleaning up after the devastat-ing floods in the Boulder area, and working with local Teller County charities such as Habitat for Humanity, the Clothes Closet, Choices, CASA and the Pro Cycle Challenge. In September, the college hosts a volun-teer fair where nonprofits are invited to have a booth to share their needs with the students. “This one event alone has such a positive impact for nonprofits and busi-nesses in the region” said Marilyn Dougall,
board member.• Business of the Year: The Edgewood
Inn, owned and operated by Dean and Kathy Buysee. Kathy’s roots in Teller County can be traced back to her great-great grand-father who in April of 1896 was in Cripple Creek when the great fire began.

Kathy had always dreamed of relocating to the area someday and building a home with a pan-oramic Pikes Peak view. It was a dream she shared with her husband Dean who helped find the perfect location for The Edgewood Inn.
After opening June 1, 2012, the Buysees were forced to evacuate just 23 days later due to the Waldo Canyon Fire. The devas-tating fire news reported by the national press indicated Colorado was burning up, which in turn prevented many potential tourists from calling for reservations.
Determined to share their home with others, the Buysees began hosting wed-dings in addition to their current bed and breakfast offerings. Visitors not only expe-rience the graciousness of Dean and Kathy, but the allure to stay and play in Woodland Park and Teller County has been tremen-dous. Along with their B & B and wedding venues they are active in the local commu-nity hosting parties, fundraisers and their wonderful relationship with the Holiday Home Tour initiative.
The awards will be presented at the chamber’s Masquerade Dinner March 13 at Cheyenne Mountain Resort in Colorado Springs. For tickets, call the chamber at 687-9885 or go to woodlandparkchamber.com.

This is the fourth in the series that examines education at Ute Pass Elementary School. This month, the school features students performing plays by Shakespeare and Aeschylus.
Tapping into a child’s natural flair for drama and lack of inhibition, Candy Mow-ery has first-graders at Ute Pass Elemen-tary relishing their roles in Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night.”
Undaunted by big words or larger meanings, the budding thespians are ham-ming it up, emitting the proper emotions with lines such as “Alas! Today!”
The kids are almost giddy over the drama, especially in the scene where giant waves cause a boat to split in half and throw a man overboard. To portray the im-pact of the storm, two youthful actors flap their arms, the waves signified by lengthy sleeves on a large shirt.
“It’s an awesome ocean,” Mowery said.Two weeks before the real thing on Feb.
25, the kids are having so much fun with Shakespeare’s drama that Mowery has to remind them of a few things. “You guys be serious: this is rehearsal, okay? We’re not first-graders anymore - we have a part to play,” she said.
It’s obvious that Mowery has stretched the students’ imagination and taken them back to 1600. “These kids are sharp enough to play Shakespeare,” she said.
As incentive to paying attention to the script, Mowery offers a carrot. “Get to know your lines better and you get a cos-tume,” she said. “Earn your costume.”
Most of the students earned costumes.The Shakespeare production is a col-
laboration of Mowery and Beth Romano, who teaches classical literature.
“We’re doing classics because there are universal themes about life, betrayal, loy-alty, friendship, all those kinds of things, written in such an eloquent way,” Romano said. “I read portions of books to try to give them a taste, to whet their interest, bring the level up as much as I can.”
Among the books students are reading are, in addition to Shakespeare, are: “The
Princess and the Goblin,” “Little Women,” “Charlotte’s Web,” “Winnie the Pooh,” and “Brave Irene” by William Steig.
A peek into Romano’s classroom is to see students engaged, at times, singing songs from America’s folk and fairy tales - accompanied by the teacher playing her guitar. To enhance the study, Romano highlights the poetry of Robert Frost.
“What a wonderful American image,” she said.
The classics include the study of Greece back to 525 B.C. As a result, Mowery and Romano have the fourth-graders per-forming “Agamemnon” by Aeschylus. In rehearsal, Grayson Rockenbach gave a ringing speech by the hero that begins with “Rejoice, Rejoice ye..,” his perfor-mance a testament to the power of the teachers’ belief in the dramatic ability of youngsters.
For the school’s principal, Chris Briggs-Hale, educational philosophy at Ute Pass is strengthened by research into the mindset of children and adults. Rather than strok-ing a child’s self-esteem, research shows that approaching goals with a “growth” rather than a “fixed” mindset is the key to accomplishment.
The studies are the subject of a book written by Carol S. Dweck titled “Mind-set: The New Psychology of Success.” To encourage the students, Briggs-Hale has a number of posters in the hallways espous-ing the growth, or can-do, attitude.
The teachers are on board. “The principal felt the classics would be a great addition to our program to raise the level of literacy and give the students a chance to think about things that are a little more grown up,” Romano said.
Mowery and Romano remain undaunt-ed by what some might consider obstacles to learning Shakespeare, particularly for kids who can barely read. “Whatever I think I can do, I know the kids can,” Mow-ery said. “The kids aren’t the problem; it’s our own handicaps we put on ourselves.”

Greek �eatre? No problem at Ute Pass
‘Literature enriches each day of our lives’Matt Rogge, parent of Lairden and
Karsten, fourth grade and kindergarten, re-spectively, speaks about the curriculum at Ute Pass and offers an opinion about man-datory state testing.
“For us as parents, Greek theatre, classic literature and Shakespeare are just really the connections to all the joy and suffering of the human condition,” said Matt Rogge, who has two sons at the school. “That’s something Shakespeare captured more than 400 years ago.”
The analogies and metaphors in the classics are relevant today, Rogge said. “Whether we’re a kid or an adult, litera-ture enriches each day of our lives, makes us better students, better friends,” he said. “The richness of life is in those things.”
While already cheerleaders for Ute Pass, Rogge and his wife, Ariella, who live in Florissant, were pleasantly surprised that
Lairden, their fourth-grader, would be part of Greek theatre. “There’s a lot of names in there you can’t even pronounce,” he said, with a grin.
Rogge credits Mowery, the Ute Pass muse, for instilling energy and drama in her students, no matter what the century. “She gets access into their potential be-cause she’s hard, demanding and has high expectations.” he said. “And they respond to that.”
As far as all the controversy over testing, Rogge doesn’t consider the mandate a deal-breaker. “If the core values and education are there, then testing is what we have to do to get funding,” he said. “Testing is just a hoop you have to jump through. At Ute Pass they’re not forgetting all the important parts of education, not letting testing derail that.”

In 2009, the average house stayed on the market 101 days while in 2014 the average time was 109 days. “I take it as real estate agents being realistic with the client in helping them to know that prices have gone down,” Roshek said
The housing market today tilts toward multi-family, a trend reflected locally in the build-out of Trail Ridge apartments, said Skip Howes, owner of Scott Homes, Ltd. and broker with ReMax Performance.
With today’s tougher qualifying regula-tions, renting fits the needs of many of to-day’s potential homeowners. However, as the national economy strengthens, credit scores may drop, Howes said, but there are still people qualifying for conventional loans. “But the fun-and-games products are gone,” he said.
A potential homeowner with an annual income of $40,000, for instance, could qual-ify for a $200,000 loan. “This ties in with what’s selling in the area,” Howes said.
On a negative note, land prices are down considerably. “This is pathetic, sad. Land is where we have been hurt the worst,” Ro-shek said.
In 2013, 20 parcels of land sold while in 2014, 21 sold. Divide had the largest in-crease in land sales, she said. “Land prices are extremely low, as much as 40 to 50 per-cent lower than what they were at the high,” Roshek said. “That is really tragic.”
Land prices might be low, but for buyers planning to build a home, Schnitker advises paying 50 percent down but expect over-runs on construction costs.
“You need to build in some contingen-cies,” he said. “When you get ready to build a home and that’s the last dollar you have, then you probably need to rent for a while.”
Commercial property, on the other hand, is a good investment, Weaver said. “As our population grows and the economy slowly starts to turn around, commercial is going to be an attractive investment,” Weaver said. “Use a lot of equity, 25 to 30 percent.”
However, there isn’t a lot of commercial inventory, particularly downtown, added Michael Harper, who is self-employed as a real estate broker. “But what there is sells
for $40 to $170 a square foot, Harper said. “Commercial real estate is a lagging indica-tor, not a leading indicator.”
Weaver added. “The price swings are cra-zy wild. A lot of these properties are owner/real estate/bank-owned so that’s why you’re seeing some private owners selling at $100 a square foot,” he said. “Then you see pres-sure on lenders to sell for $40 a square foot.”
No doubt about it, the sounds of devel-opment rang throughout Woodland Park in 2014, with the opening of Woodland Hard-ware, Tractor Supply Co. Arby’s, Trail Ridge, Our Lady of the Woods Catholic Church and the first phase of Charis Bible College.
On the charts for 2015 are the comple-tion of Trail Ridge and the second phase of Charis, which includes an auditorium that seats 3,200 and a five-story parking garage, said Sally Riley, Woodland Park’s planning director.
At the east end of town, Starbucks and Verizon Go Wireless are opening in the multi-tenant facility adjacent to Walmart.
The new businesses are two of the 600 building permits issued last year, resulting in more than $51 million in construction valuations. “That was partly because of Charis, the apartments and other construc-tion projects,” Riley said.
Charis contributed $100,000,000 worth of constructions costs to the city, said Brian Fleer, director of economic and downtown development.
Not only is construction on a roll but sales reflect an improved business climate. “In 2005, sale-tax revenue was $1.3 million and $4.7 million in 2014,” Fleer said. “It shows on the radar that we’re able to lease things. Most everything we do is based on market study.”
As he did last year, Brad Spivey, chief in-vestment officer at Park State Bank & Trust, highlighted the role of the federal govern-ment in the national as well as local econ-omy. “We see modest improvements from the Great Recession from 2008 and 2009 that required a tremendous amount of fis-cal and monetary stimulus from our policy makers,” Spivey said. “We’re at the junction where many in the Federal Reserve feel they can remove some of that stimulus, that the economy has reached self-sustaining steam.”

Awards announced by Chamber of Commerceboard member.
• Business of the Year: The Edgewood Inn, owned and operated by Dean and Kathy Buysee. Kathy’s roots in Teller County can be traced back to her great-great grand-father who in April of 1896 was in Cripple Creek when the great fire began. He loaded up his family and moved them to safety. Her great-grandfather had a cabin on Preachers Row in the region. She spent many sum-mers here visiting with relatives. Kathy had always dreamed of relocating to the area someday and building a home with a pan-oramic Pikes Peak view. It was a dream she shared with her husband Dean who helped find the perfect location for The Edgewood Inn.
After opening June 1, 2012, the Buysees were forced to evacuate just 23 days later due to the Waldo Canyon Fire. The devas-tating fire news reported by the national press indicated Colorado was burning up, which in turn prevented many potential tourists from calling for reservations.
Determined to share their home with others, the Buysees began hosting wed-dings in addition to their current bed and breakfast offerings.

SPORTSPanthers’ girls set team record for most victories; Hopfe stands out for boys
By Danny [email protected]
The Woodland Park High School boys and girls basketball teams saw their seasons come to an end last week with no postsea-son berths on the line.
The boys finished 0-23 under first-year head coach John Paul Geniesse. The Panthers’ girls were 10-13 under first-year head coach Kris Kemp, setting a school record for the most wins in a sea-son. The previous high was nine.
The girls faded down the stretch, however, losing 10 of their last 13 games, and eight of their last nine.
The girls began Class 4A Metro League play with back-to-back victories over Widefield and Har-rison, and made it through the first round of conference action with a 4-3 record and very much alive in the playoff race.
But things unraveled for the Panthers in the second round of league play as Woodland Park went 1-6; its lone victory coming over Harrison.
During a 75-27 loss to Mesa Ridge on Feb. 18, Grizzlies stand-out center Kylee Shook record a rare quadruple double with 24 points, 22 rebounds, 12 blocked shots and 11 assists.
The Panthers had stellar ef-forts from numerous players. Sophomore guard Mackenzie Porter led the team in scoring av-erage with 12.2 points per game to go along with 3.2 rebounds and 2.1 steals.
Senior guard Katelyn Kemp turned in a solid campaign with 11.5 ppg and 5.6 rebounds per game. Senior center Darian San-felice averaged 6.1 points and 6.6 rebounds per game.
Other standout players includ-ed senior guard Lexie Comer (4.3 ppg, 5.1 rpg), senior guard Jenny Sells (5.2, 3.6), senior Jeannette Worscheck (3.3 ppg) and senior Katie Stunkard (3.2 ppg).
The record may not indicate it, but the Woodland Park boys im-proved dramatically since early December. The Panthers came within an eyelash of winning two of their final three games. They took The Classical Academy to overtime in a 61-54 loss, and fell to Mitchell 69-67.
Woodland Park senior Sam Hopfe distinguished himself from the rest of his teammates with consistent play all season. Hopfe led the team in scoring (12.7 ppg) and rebounds (5.4). He aver-aged 22 points per game over the team’s last three games, including a season-high 25 against Mesa Ridge in the final contest of the season.
“Sam capped off his senior season with a great game,” Ge-niesse said “It was a great effort.”
Junior point guard Dominik Cunico was second on the team in scoring 7.5 ppg, followed by junior Jason Kekich (6.0).
Among the upsides for next season is that only Hopfe and Justin Logsdon graduate. Every-one else, including freshmen Josh Boldin, Kristian Hooker and Dempsey Battin, return next season.
Woodland Park senior forward Sam Hopfe, No, 20 in white, was arguably the team MVP this season. Hopfe led the team in scoring average and rebounds per game and was the most dominant player on the court for the Panthers. Photo by Paul Magnuson

SALOME’S STARSFOR THE WEEK OF FEB. 23, 2015
ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) There could be some negative reaction to your tough stance when making a recent decision. But overall, your efforts result in well-earned recognition and all that can follow from that.
TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Your financial situation seems confusing, even for the fiscally savvy Bovine. Maybe it’s the conflicting advice you’re getting. Check it out before things get too tangled to unknot.
GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) A relaxed attitude goes a long way in helping you deal with any of life’s irritants that might be popping up this week. You’re also a re-assuring role model for others in the same situation.
CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Your aspect favors creativity, which should persuade you to work on your artistic projects. If time is a problem, prioritize your commitments so that your work isn’t compromised.
LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Scrutinize all the job offers that interest you. Most are honest and worth consider-ing. But a few might not be completely forthcoming about what the job is and what the salary and benefits are.
VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) An unexpected snafu could delay the completion of a project you’re eager to finish. Find out what’s causing it, fix it, and if you need help, don’t be shy about asking for it. Good luck.
LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) An idea that could be helpful to you comes from an unlikely source. Listen to it. Discuss it. If necessary, adjust it. If it looks as if it might work out quite well, go ahead and use it.
SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Be careful about allow-ing someone to share a very personal secret with you. This could cause problems down the line with others who are involved in that person’s private life.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) A cooling down of a relationship could be the result of neglect, unin-tended or not. To save it from icing over, you need to warm it up with a large dose of hot Sagittarius passion.
CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) This is a good time to get involved with a number of family matters that involve money and other issues that might jeopardize the closeness between and among family members.
AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Cheer up. That dif-ficult person who appears to be deliberately stalling your project might just need to be reassured of the value she or he brings to it.
PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Good news! Expect to feel re-energized now that you’ve gone through that stressful energy-depleting period involving a lot of changes. Now, go out there and show them what you can do.
BORN THIS WEEK: You have a warm, giving nature that inspires many to follow your example.

Wrestlers pick up victories at state tournament Senior Tommy Hancock won a � rst round match; Garrick Arias won a consolation match By Danny Summers [email protected]
Woodland Park senior Tommy Hancock was the lone Woodland Park High School wrestler to win a fi rst-round match at the state tournament last week at the Pepsi Center in Denver.
Hancock, wrestling at 120 pounds, won his fi rst-round match on Feb. 19, defeating Pueblo East’s Antonio Trujillo with a pin three minutes, 36 second into the match.
On Feb. 20, the slender Hancock lost to Niwot sophomore Tommy Stager, 8-1, in the quarterfi nals to fall into the consolation bracket. Hancock lost his fi rst match there to Cheyenne Mountain freshman Mike Mc-Fadden, 5-3, thus ending his season at the prestigious event.
Hancock, who also qualifi ed for the state tournament as a junior, was joined at the Pepsi Center by teammates Garrick Arias and Jesse Weatherill.
Arias, a junior, lost his fi rst-round match to freshman Andrew Lucero of Pueblo East, 17-0. Arias came back on Feb. 20 and pinned Pueblo South freshman Andrew Martinez in a consolation bracket match. Arias then faced Discovery Canyon fresh-man Jaden Porreco, but lost 16-5.
Weatherill, a senior, lost both of his matches. He fell to Pueblo South’s Seth Ortega, 10-2, on Feb. 19, and then lost his
lone consolation round match on Feb. 20 to Monte Vista Dylan Obenshain when he was
pinned.Hancock fi nishes his season with a 37-9
record, while Arias was a 24-18 and Weath-erill 22-12.

Anglo-Gold Ashanti, City of Cripple Creek conference sponsorsBy Suzanne CoreFor the Courier
The Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Min-ing Co. and the city of Cripple Creek were among the sponsors of the 18th annual “Saving Places” historic preservation con-ference, the largest state-wide preservation conference in the country. “Savings Places,” hosted by Colorado Preservation Inc. and held in downtown Denver, Feb. 4-6, 2015, gathered preservationists from across the Rocky Mountain West. This year’s confer-ence theme was “Advancing Preservation Practices.”
Highlights of the conference included a silent auction, evening reception and two luncheons with keynote speakers. There were opportunities to engage in hands-on workshops, tours of the Capitol Dome and Union Station, and educational sessions on everything from Advanced Grant Writing to researching Denver Public Library archives or old Colorado cemeteries to a forum on successful practices in five Colorado ski towns.
Of local interest, there was an informa-tive and entertaining session on obtaining Rural Historic Landscape District status in the National Register. This was recently accomplished for the 39-mile-long 28,000-acre Tarryall Rural Historic Landscape District (Tarryall RHLD). The session was chaired by Linda Balough, director of Park County’s Department of Heritage, Tourism and Community Development (and ex-ecutive director of the South Park National Heritage Area), who was instrumental in the decade-long process. Joined by two of the professionals who worked on the Tar-ryall RHLD survey and nomination, Linda explained in detail how the large rural area along Park County 77 from Lake George to Jefferson achieved listing.
Balough noted, “The fact that the 100 property owners in the proposed RHLD were all supportive and enthusiastic helped immensely.”
The Tarryall RHLD includes some of
Colorado’s oldest high-altitude ranches, one-room schools, cemeteries, and other architectural, archaeological and landscape components, including some prehistoric artifacts, all found along one of the state’s oldest roads.
Among the tours offered was one of the Capitol Dome. A morning at the capitol included intensive training on the legisla-tive process and advocacy with a chance to meet the state senator and state repre-sentative – Kevin Grantham and Polly Law-rence, respectively -- who represent Teller County. Both of them were familiar with the county and its Gold Camp District and expressed an interest in historic pres-ervation efforts here. Grantham noted that he has been in a Donkey Derby Days parade in Cripple Creek.
Among the exhibits in the convention hall were a DREAM exhibit from Victor, City of Mines, and one from the City of Cripple
Creek. The Colorado Division of Reclama-tion, Mining & Safety also had an exhibit, which included project summaries of three Southern Teller County projects: preserva-tion of the Hoosier Shaft and Headframe on Tenderfoot Hill, stabilization of the Inde-pendence Historic Headframe in Victor, and preservation of Cameron Mine structures relocated to the Hoosier site. All three proj-ects were done with the assistance of the Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Com-pany, which owns the land involved. The Mine Company plans to develop the Hoo-sier mine site as an historic mining exhibit.
The funds for historic preservation in Colorado come primarily from gaming revenues from Cripple Creek, Black Hawk and Central City. According to the Colo-rado Gaming Association website, “Taxes from the Colorado casino industry have made the Colorado State Historical Fund the richest in the nation. Since 1992, over
$300 million has been provided to the fund to preserve Colorado’s rich history. Of that amount, 80% is spread across the state through grants for preservation projects….”
Along with its other projects, Colorado Preservation Inc., founded in 1984, spon-sors Colorado’s Most Endangered Places annual listing. Currently, the Silver Dollar Saloon in Victor, CO, is on the list. It’s pres-ervation work is in progress.
One of the lessons underlined at the conference is that historic preservation laws are not meant to prevent change but to manage change. Neither historic preser-vation nor listing of a historic site or struc-ture takes away any private property rights and cannot be listed without the owner’s consent. But for communities like the his-toric Gold Camp District of Southern Teller County the benefits in heritage tourism can be substantial.

What Every Knee Arthritis Sufferer Should Know About This Often Successful Medical Treatment
The Advanced Medical Treatment Every Knee Arthritis Sufferer Needs To Know - Before Thinking About Knee Replacement Surgery
El Paso County - If you suffer with knee arthritis pain, you have probably already tried many treat-ments... especially count-less pain medications. Experienced doctors understand that, even though pain medications such as anti-inflammatory pain pills are part of the recommended early treat-ment plan for knee arthri-tis pain...they are rarely the answer. In most cases they have minimal results (if any) and have a laundry list of potential side effects. Some being serious and even life threatening.
Are There Any Better
Options? Thankfully, advance-ments in science and tech-nology come extremely fast. And now there is a very good option for knee arthritis to help relieve the pain. An option that a lot of knee arthritis suffer-ers have never heard of...and even worse... have not been properly informed about. Before we get into the actual treatment, please understand this... Osteo Relief Institute is a real medical clinic that has treated thousands of knee arthritis suffer-ers. Patients travel from all over the country to be treated at their clinic be-cause they want the best medical treatments avail-able. What you are about to discover is a REAL medi-cal treatment. Not a mira-cle cure you see on info-mercials or on the internet. Know this fact: There is no cure for arthritis. But there is this treatment that... when performed correctly and with the proper technology... has already helped thousands
Advanced Imaging Allows Doctors To Pin-Point Treatments And Relieve Knee Arthritis Pain
Science rescues knee arthritis sufferers? Research shows joint injections done without advanced imaging misses the joint about 30% of the time. Now doctors can put lubricating fluid directly into the arthritic joint that may alleviate pain and restore function to many.
HOW IT WORKS: With The Proper Advanced Imaging And Technology Joint Cushioning and Lubricating Medication is Placed Precisely In The Arthritic Knee Joint To Relieve Stiffness And Pain
of knee arthritis sufferers - possibly just like you. Even if you have heard of this treatment - or even tried it without good re-sults - please read this. You will find out why it may not have worked for you and how you may be able to get much better re-sults.
What is ThisTreatment?
This treatment is called viscosupplementation. And it has gained quite a bit of popularity in recent years and it has gotten mixed results for a couple of reasons. But before we get into that, here’s what you need to know about viscosup-plementation. When you have arthritis, you suffer a decrease in the cushioning and lubricating fluids in your knee. In oth-er words, your knee joint basically “dries up.” The lubricating fluid that decreases is called “synovial fluid.” Pharmaceutical com-panies (with the help of scientists) can now make natural synovial fluid gel-like compounds that, dur-ing viscosupplementation treatments...doctors can precisely introduce direct-ly into the knee and other joints. This helps replace the lu-bricating fluid to the knee joint - allowing it to move more freely and smoothly and often decreasing or even eliminating the pain.
What ResultsCan Be
Expected? Like all medical treat-ments, the results vary and can not be predicted. But many knee arthritis suffer-ers get dramatic results. It is not uncommon for pa-tients to either postpone knee replacement surgery for years... or even perma-nently cancel it.
But There Is A BIGProblem
The key is the treatment must be EXTREMELY PRECISE. If the injection is slightly off, the medica-tion will not get into the knee joint and the treat-ment will not work. That’s why the experts at Osteo Relief Institute use advanced digital im-aging so they can see the medicine going directly into the knee joint during the treatment. Research shows that doctors performing joint injections without imaging miss the joint as much as 30% of the time. If you have tried visco-supplementation without this special digital imaging without good results - this may be why. That’s why Osteo Relief Institute takes it even one step further. They do not just use one step process of advanced imaging during treatment - they use two in their “double confirma-tion” process. This is to ensure patients get the best possible results.
AnotherImportant
Factor Viscosupplementation medications also come in several different brands and chemical make-ups. Just like all medications, some people respond bet-ter to some than others. While many doctors only use one brand, the experts at Osteo Relief Institute use several and great effort is taken to figure out what the best one for YOU is. One last thing: The experts at Osteo Relief In-stitute have found that the earlier you start Viscosup-plementation the better. This is most likely be-cause the longer you wait - the more joint destruction takes place. That’s why Osteo Relief
is now seeing so many pa-tients as young as 45. Summary: If you have knee arthritis pain and have not tried Viscosup-plementation, you should look into it as soon as pos-sible. If you have tried it with-out good results, you may still be able to get great results with the proper im-aging and specific medica-tion
Who Should Try This
Treatment? Not everyone is a can-didate for this treatment. But if you are, there is a good chance you may re-lieve some... or possibly all of your pain. You are a potential candidate for this treat-ment if you have knee pain and have not gotten good results from anti-inflammatory medication or other common arthritis treatments. Especially if you have already tried viscosupple-mentation without good results. The best way to tell if you are a good candi-date for this treatment is to be screened by one of
