Up and downTax valuations give pause to allBy Pat Hill [email protected]

Every two years, notices of valuation cause some to yell, others to rejoice. As some homeowners complain about an in-crease in value by as much as $50,000, oth-ers have the opposite worry. In Woodland Park, in general, values declined by 3 per-cent, said Betty Clark-Wine, Teller County’s assessor.

“That means that some values are going down, some going up,” she said.

In this cycle, residential property is val-ued on data collected from July 1, 2008 to June 30, 2012. “We had only 1,466 sales of residential in four years, properties of all sizes and shapes,” Clark-Wine said.

On the other hand, using the market ap-proach, the assessor incorporated five years of data to evaluate sales of vacant land from July 1, 2007 to June 30, 2012.

“We had so few sales, people weren’t building or buying, so we only had 561 sales of vacant land in five years,” she said. “They were parcels of all sizes in the entire county.”

On qualified commercial properties, the assessor’s office based valuations on 35 sales in those five years. Properties used as offices are valued differently from those used as retail shops, she said.

For commercial vacant land, only six qualified properties were sold in the same five-year period. “The market was such that there weren’t a lot of sales, as there had been in the past,” Clark-Wine said. “The state mandates that we have to have a mini-mum number of qualified sales in a class of property.”

For assessment purposes, the numbers around the county varied. For instance, in the southwest quadrant, 30 percent of resi-dential sales were foreclosures while in the southeast quadrant, which includes Crip-ple Creek and Victor, there were few sales and a decline in the selling prices, Clark-Wine said.

In the northwest part, some homeown-ers had an increase in property values. “In that area, some properties sold as many as three times in the same time period,” she said. “We could see prices coming up as properties were being improved.”

On the other hand, subdivisions in

Woodland Park, for instance, with older and smaller homes experienced a decline in value while other subdivisions moved up the valuation scale, she said.

Variables in valuationsWith variables in valuations, Clark-Wine

urges homeowners to either appeal or come in and discuss options. “About a year ago, we looked at statistics and found that there were in excess of 5,000 properties that had not been personally inspected in five years or more,” she said. “These are proper-ties that may not have sold. We usually go and look at a property when it sells.”

With a new software program, some residential properties changed from being classified as “badly worn” on the outside to “fair condition,” which would have caused the home to go up in value. “Most likely, in years past, they were undervalued,” Clark-Wine said.

In the cleanup process, some properties in Woodland Park went down in value by as much as 36 percent while others increased by up to 40 percent. “If they’re over-valued we can fix that on appeal; if under-valued, we had to keep them that way for two years,” she said.

Things looking up, kind of, for water districtBy Pat [email protected]

Caught in a vicious circle and a downpour of bad tid-ings, the Florissant Water & Sanitation District is tread-ing water. Put on notice last week by the Department of Local Affairs, the board agreed to temporarily dis-solve the district.

“We don’t have any re-cord that the district has held, or canceled, an elec-tion since 2004,” said Jarrod Biggs, research analyst with DOLA.

The second nail was the board’s failure to comply with audit mandates for 2011 and 2012. “A third is-sue is the enforcement or-der,” Biggs said.

In a meeting May 14 with Biggs and Clay Brown, DO-LA’s regional manager, in addition to engineers from

Colorado’s public health de-partment, the board heard possible solutions along with the bad news.

The hurdles were high, however. Cited in 2010 with an enforcement order, the five-member board failed to submit the appropriate discharge-monitoring re-ports, or DMRs.

“Some DMRs were turned in but there is still some question because they’re not meeting the necessity of enforcement orders,” said Bret Icenogle, engineer with the state’s water-quality control divi-sion. “You need to think about that in terms of how you can get your sampling done.”

But it’s the audits that present the biggest threat to the district, not only the cost but also the snafu around an unelected board. “Arguably, this board can’t

sign anything with any legal standing,” Biggs said.

To date, the audit bills have not been paid, due to

a misunderstanding about the charge. According to the accountant, Charlotte Plush, the board was told the bill from the auditors would be $4,500 but was instead $9,400. Ideas to pay the bill included trying to get a bank loan or extending the payment period.

On the issue of the le-gality, the board could be sanctioned in 30 days if ap-pointed by Teller County commissioners. “Obviously, this board is trying to con-

duct the business of pro-viding water; there is a lot of funding available and we want to try and work this district through,” Biggs said. “It’s a familiar refrain and, in rural Colorado, it’s a problem to get people to sit on the board. We have places where there are two board members, some with one.”

On a positive note, Brown, the regional man-ager, highlighted glimmers of hope, of sun amid the

clouds. “We’re kind of flying

sidewise; we’ll make it work somehow,” he said. “You guys are service providers; if you weren’t sitting here, who’s going to provide the water and sewer? Just keep it going, we’ll work the tech-nical details out.”

For a volunteer board, working with an annual budget of less than $100,000 to serve 94 customers, the state’s intercession is con-sidered a good thing, not a judgment call, for the mem-bers as well as the accoun-tants. “I’m glad you all are here to help us out,” Plush said.

A day after the meeting, the board hired an engi-neering consultant, Adam Sommers, with plans to hire a full-time operator for the water system.

In a district besieged by problems, brown water, regular broken water mains, and, last week, a sinkhole caused by the leakage of 80,000 gallons of water, along with a series of com-plaints, there were no resi-dents at the meeting that evening.

District board members are Ginger Bruvold, Cathy Valdez, Calvin Steele, Con-rad Swift and Harold Clare.

Graduation coverage delayed by holiday Photos of 2013 WP and CC-V grads will be in June 5 paper By Norma Engelberg [email protected]

This year’s Cripple Creek-Vic-tor High School and Woodland Park High School graduations are taking place so close to Memorial Day that the Courier View will not be able to publish photos of these events until the June 5 newspaper.

The following is a short pre-view the 2013 graduations.

Cripple Creek-Victor High School Twenty-three seniors will walk

down the aisle between family members and well-wishers in the Cripple Creek-Victor High School Gym on May 25.

The class Valedictorians are Darien Carrillo and Haley Hute and the Salutatorian is Darren Caddy.

So far, students have earned a total of $114,590 in scholar-ships. The scholarship-totals for both CC-V and WPHS are likely to change as the schools receive more information.

Hute, Carillo and Caddy are also the school’s top scholarship winners. Hute has earned $41,390 and will be attending the Uni-versity of Wyoming, Caddy has earned $31, 250 in scholarships and will be attending Colorado School of Mines and Carrillo has earned $10,250 and will be at-

tending Pikes Peak Community College.

Most of the students who earned scholarship money took part in Senior Seminar taught by counselors Jennifer Johnston and Alisha Strupp and English teacher Loyd Mowery. Senior Seminar is an independent study program just for seniors.

Woodland Park High School With 187 seniors graduat-

ing, Woodland Park High School is expecting a packed house at the Pikes Peak Center on May 24.

The class Valedictorian is An-jolenna Lutz, who recently was named a Daniels Fund scholar-ship winner. The Salutatorian is Kelsey Siebel. The class has earned more than $1.36 million in scholarships with 26 students winning 71 awards.

CC-V Narrow Gauge stays on track Special to the Courier

The Cripple Creek & Vic-tor Narrow Gauge Railroad has been one of the pri-mary tourist attractions in Cripple Creek since 1967 and about 40,000 visitors each season take its historic train ride through the gold mining district of Cripple Creek and Victor on the old right-of-way of the Midland Terminal Railroad.

The trip has tradition-ally started at the head of Bennett Avenue in Cripple Creek and traveled to the ghost town of Anaconda, however the recent expan-sion of the open pit gold mine between Cripple Creek and Victor has re-

quired the overall trip to be changed.

As a result of the change in the trip the train will no longer be required to backup to complete the tra-ditional 4-mile roundtrip back to Cripple Creek from Anaconda. The railroad owners have used a change in the route to create a turn-around at the World Fair Claim, which was a highly productive mining claim during one of the greatest Gold Rush in American his-tory.

Trains will continue leave their 1894 station about ev-ery 40 minutes and stop at the end of the line at Echo Valley, which overlooks the shelf road, ghost towns of

Mound City and Berry and has one of the best views in Colorado.

Jim Birmingham, the railroad’s general manag-er, is optimistic about the change in route and the ability to provide a way to turn the train around.

“We are excited about the upcoming year and the opportunity to provide our customers with a new expe-rience,” he said.

When asked about the reduction in the length of the trip as a result of the mine expansion, Mr. Bir-mingham noted, “We are thankful that we did not lose some of the best fea-tures of our ride. We have people from all over the

world that love to hear the train echo through Echo Valley and learn about the history of the area. Even though our length was re-duced we believe that our trip will continue to provide a great experience for our customers and look forward to new opportunities to grow our business.”

Many people in the re-gion are pleased to hear that the Cripple Creek and Victor Narrow Gauge Rail-road will continue to pro-vide a great family attrac-tion in our area despite the changes to their trip.

The railroad will begin operating this season on May 25. Learn more at www.CrippleCreekRailroad.com

The Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Co. expansion has forced the railroad com-pany to change part of its route but also created an opportunity to construct a turnaround at one of the area’s most scenic views.

re-2 kids shine at WP council meetingGateway, Columbine students make guest appearancesBy Norma [email protected]

It was school night at the Woodland Park City Council meeting. On May 16, students from Woodland Park RE-2 School District elementary schools received recognition and awards from Woodland Park Mayor Dave Turley.

First, school district Superintendent Jed Bowman talked about the “Elevate Your Education” art contest, which was coordi-nated by the Woodland Park Art Alliance, the Woodland Park Education Foundation and the school district.

“Illustrating `Elevate Your Education’ was the only parameter,” he said. “The stu-dents could create a poster or make 3-D art that could be photographed.”

There were about 100 entries and the top three winners at the grade-school, middle school and high school each received cash prizes.

Some of the posters were framed and hung in the school administration board room.

“We wanted something more perma-nent so we made some of them into light-pole banners you can see if you drive down Panther Way,” Bowman said. “One of the posters will be hung here in council cham-bers and another one is in the City Hall foy-er. We’ll change them out every month and we have enough to keep the city in posters for about two years.”

He added that the district plans to have similar contests every two to three years so that more students can participate.

Next on the agenda were the winners of the Columbine Elementary School Science Fair. Turley acted as one of the judges for this event and was so impressed with the quality of the students’ projects that he in-vited the winners to bring their projects to the city council meeting.

“Sometimes the mayor has a good idea,” he said.

“I want to thank these students and their parents. Good parenting is so important for our community.”

The science fair winners were called to the front of the room where Turley congrat-ulated them and gave each of them a Wood-land Park commemorative pin.

Finally, one student from each grade lev-el at Gateway Elementary School who won the Bear Aware Drawing Contest, which was sponsored by the school district and Keep Woodland Park Beautiful, were called to the front to receive their certificates and pins.

“The city doesn’t have problem bears,”

Turley said. “We have problem humans. Our behav-

iors, like putting our trash out the night be-fore pick up, cause problems for the bears and put them at risk.”

City Planner Lisa Parnell, who heads up Keep Woodland Park Beautiful, explained how the contest worked and called the names of each winner.

Coloring contest entries can be seen downstairs at the Woodland Park Public Li-brary and the winning posters can be seen at www.keepwoodlandparkbeautiful.org. The entire council meeting can be seen on the city’s YouTube channel at www.city-woodlandpark.org.

WP set to take steps on marijuana Tables resolutions on pending annexations By Norma Engelberg [email protected]

Since Nov. 6 when voters across Colorado and Teller County approved Amend-ment 64, legalizing the rec-reational use of marijuana by adults, local and county governments have exhib-ited a variety of responses.

Many created moratoria prohibiting the commercial aspects of recreational mar-ijuana until the state legis-lature could come up with some rules. That was the route Woodland Park City Council took. A few, includ-ing Cripple Creek, Victor and Teller County, prohib-ited these aspects outright.

Because Amendment 64 became part of the Colo-rado Constitution, none of them could ban the growing and using of recreational marijuana by individuals. As Woodland Park City At-torney Erin Smith explained to council on May 16, local governments can only deal with the commercial side of recreational marijuana.

The ordinance she craft-ed for the city, which was introduced at the meeting, would prohibit the opera-tion of marijuana cultiva-tion, manufacturing and testing facilities retail mari-juana stores, marijuana membership clubs and growing marijuana out-doors by individuals.

The amendment al-lows local governments to opt-out of the commer-cial aspects of recreational marijuana by passing ordi-nances or resolutions or, if they decide against prohi-bition, they can create rules regulating marijuana busi-

nesses.Mayor Pro Tem Eric

Smith expressed concerns about governments curtail-ing the will of the people who voted to allow the rec-reational use of marijuana and that regulating rather than prohibiting commer-cial marijuana facilities means the city will be able to bring in revenue from business permits, fees and taxes.

The second reading for this ordinance was set for the council’s June 6 meet-ing. If it fails, the city will have until October to create rules and regulations.

Council tabled two resolutions that are steps in an annexation pro-cess requested by Donald and Beth McCarl and Karl Hirshbeck, property own-ers in the Southwest Val-ley subdivision. They want to sell their properties to Jay Baker, owner of Teller

County Waste, but the sale is contingent on getting the properties annexed by the city. The two resolutions were tabled to the June 6 meeting to give the plan-ning department and Baker time to gather information to answer questions and comments about the an-nexation from concerned citizens.

Finally, Councilmember Terry Harrison will com-plete nine consecutive years on council in June and will resign as required by the city charter at the June 27 meeting. The city will have 30 days to appoint his replacement but adver-tising for the position can’t start until after he resigns. Meetings in June and July were rearranged because of the July 4 holiday; other-wise Harrison’s last meeting would be on June 20. The only July meeting will be on July 18.

Cripple Creek-Victor shuttle service starts Special to the Courier Teller County Resource Group

Creating a shuttle service be-tween Cripple Creek and Victor has been sole priority for the Teller County Resource Group’s Transpor-tation Local Coordinating Commit-tee since it was formed more than a year ago and for several other groups long before that. Their hard work and perseverance has fi nally paid off with the start of the Gold Camp Connector shuttle service on May 13.

The Cripple Creek pick-up and drop-off location is the Aspen Mine Center, 166 E. Bennett Ave. Depar-ture times are 6:15 and 11:15 a.m. and 2:15 and 5:15 p.m.

Victor pick-up and drop-off lo-cation is the 3rd Street Plaza. De-parture times are 6:30 and 11:30 a.m. and 2:30 and 5:30 p.m.

The cost: $1 per round trip for citizens; 25 cents per round trip for unaccompanied children not at-tending a school event; free for chil-dren going to and from school or school events, for children accom-panied by an adult, for seniors age 60 and older and for handicapped individuals.

Veldean Petri of Community of Caring was one of the shuttle service’s fi rst riders. She states in an email: “I had the opportunity to ride the `Gold Camp Connec-tor’ this morning. (The) friendly driver, Marian, cheerfully explained all the details of riding the shuttle to Cripple Creek and back home again. The drive over to Cripple Creek was panoramic and breath-taking! Hope you can ride the ̀ Gold Camp Connector’ shuttle soon and spread the word how enjoyable and user-friendly the service is!”

Railroad mural to enhance Midland Depot By Pat Hill [email protected]

In a serendipitous exchange, the mural tracing the route of the Midland Railroad from Colorado Springs to Newcastle will now hang in the baggage-claim area of the Midland Depot at Divide.

For the past eight years, the mural has graced the wall in the conference room at Benchmark Mortgage in Woodland Park. With the company’s move from the Midland Junction at the Loan Center to the Remax building, the mural is the source of good luck for the nonprofi t organization dedicated to refurbishing the old Midland depot. Railroad gurus Mel McFarland and Dave Mar-tinek are taking the lead on the project.

Roxanne Ross of Woodland Park designed the mural on a

canvas with a leather-like back-ground; Beaumont paid $3,000 for the work in 2004.

“When I commissioned the piece I always thought it should go to the Midland Depot project,” said Ed Beaumont, real estate bro-ker with Benchmark Mortgage.

The mural by Roxanne Ross is a pictorial account of the route of the Midland Railroad from Colorado Springs to Newcastle in the glory days of the railroad. Commissioned by Ed Beaumont for the Benchmark Mortgage o� ce in 2004, the mural will now hang in the refurbished Midland Depot, as a donation by Beaumont.

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS

Tobin arrived early, tracked way to history A legend in Colorado’s history on several

fronts, Tobin left his own tracks.His father Irish, and his mother a Dela-

ware Indian, Tobin, and his half brother Charles Autobees, arrived in Colorado as early as 1837 with Ceran St. Vrain and worked as trapper and scout for St. Vrain and his partners, the Bent brothers, at Bent’s Fort, as well as Taos, New Mexico.

“Tom Tobin was a picturesque fi gure. He rode a black horse and wore a black hat, shirt, trousers and boots. He kept two load-ed revolvers in his gun belt, one on each side. Although illiterate, Tobin actively sup-ported the local school system and eventu-ally became president of the school board,” wrote Ken Jesson in “Colorado Gunsmoke.”

Tobin also garnered a reputation for be-ing able to “track a grasshopper through the sagebrush” and was skilled with a rifl e, pis-tol and knife. He counted among his good friends, the likes of Kit Carson, “Uncle Dick” Wooton, Ceran St. Vrain and Charley Bent.

It was his tracking ability that got him the job that was to make him famous as a bounty hunter. Jose Filipe Nerio Espinosa and his brother Vivian Espinosa began their murderous rampage in San Luis Valley and

had extended it over Ute Pass and into Dead Man’s Canyon near Fountain. One of the Es-pinosas was killed but Vivian and a younger cousin carried on. Basically, they declared war on all Anglos and by their own report-ing, had killed 22 people in Colorado, most-ly miners in the California Gulch area from Fairplay to Red Hill, in South Park.

In an interview from Oct. 10, 1946, Kit Carson III, the grandson of Kit Carson and Tom Tobin, and the proprietor of Kit Car-son’s Trading Post in Sanford, Colorado, told the following tale of the end of the Es-pinosa’s reign of terror.

“Colonel (Sam) Tappin considered Grandpa Tobin the best tracker in the coun-try, had him brought in and asked to catch

the Espinosas, the reward was not men-tioned. Grandpa was told “kill them for humanity’s sake,” nothing said about any reward.”

Tobin tracked them to a draw near La-Veta Pass.

“The Espinosa’s had been working their way from Colorado Springs going south killing anyone they came in contact with.”

By noticing a bunch of crows circling, Tobin identifi ed the murderous villians’ campsite.

“He found them busy making a meal,” related Kit Carson, III. “The older Espino-sa was squatting in front of the fi re, while the younger one was hobbling the horses. Grandpa waited till the younger one came near the campfi re, not wanting anyone to get away in the heat of battle. Hiding be-hind a rock, Grandpa sighted in on the old-er man and shot him, he fell face fi rst into the fi re, grandpa loaded a charge and spit a bare ball into the old Hawkin rifl e and killed the younger Espinosa.”

Tobin fi nished off the elder outlaw with his knife and took the Espinosa’s heads in a gunny sack to prove the job was done.

“When arriving at Ft. Garland, the Colo-

nel, some of his offi cers, and their wives had been out riding, an announcement was made that grandpa was there to see the Colonel. He was brought into a large room where the offi cers and wives were relaxing after their ride. The Colonel asked, `Any Luck, Tom?’ Grandpa said, “So-so,” and he held the gunnysack upside down rolling the heads out onto the fl oor, ladies were screaming, the offi cers and Colonel even looked a little green.”

Interestingly enough, Tom Tobin’s son, also Thomas Tobin, was the fi rst state cor-rectional offi cer killed in the line of duty. On June 26, 1899, Offi cer Thomas Tobin was stationed at Bridge Seven, a few miles be-low Florence, during the search for escapee Charles Nichols. Nichols was serving a life sentence for the murder of the marshal of Victor.

“In the darkness, one of the sheriff’s posse shot Tobin in the center of his chest, thinking the man on the bridge was the es-capee. Tobin was brought back to Canon City in a railroad car; he died a few days later on July 4, 1899,” according to informa-tion from the Colorado Department of Cor-rections.

Certain things shouldn’t ever be forgotten May is National Historic Preservation

Month and Colorado Archaeology and His-toric Preservation Month. As the saying on The History Channel goes, history is made every day but bits and pieces and some-times entire chunks of it are lost every day, too. This often happens because people don’t see the intrinsic value of items they take for granted until they’re gone.

For example, one of my fi rst jobs out of high school was working the concession stand at the 8th Street Drive-in Theater in Colorado Springs. At that time there were drive-in theaters all over the region; be-sides the 8th Street, there were the Starlight, Vista Vu, Arcadia, Sky Vu and Falcon drive-ins. Of the 64 drive-ins that used to exist in Colorado, seven are still open, including the Mesa Drive-In in Pueblo. My employers also owned the Chief and Peak theaters in

downtown Colorado Springs.During the two years I worked in the

outdoor theaters, the Arcadia was badly damaged by fi re and the Chief Theater was torn down. We did, however, get to tour the great old building for a glimpse of its cin-ema and stage history before demolition. Too bad it’s gone.

The drive-ins had a lot of stories to tell.

Twice in the two years I worked at the 8th Street someone lobbed a teargas grenade over the fence and we were also robbed at gun-point a couple of times. There was this one patron who regularly rode his horse in on Saturday nights to watch the movies; I think he hung the speaker from his saddle horn.

One time, lightning struck the sound system three hours before show time and the entire staff was called in to repair 500 damaged speakers. We fi nished just in time for the Disney triple feature and the arrival of about 1,000 kids.

At the Sky Vu Drive In, a young man climbed to the top of the screen and threatened to jump. A friend of mine climbed up and talked him out of it but then neither one of them could get down without help from the fi re department.

We had “ramp guards,” usually Colorado College exchange students from Finland, Sweden and Great Britain, to watch out for people during the movies and a security company that would visit the drive-ins at random times after hours. Each security guard kept a log in which he (they were always men in those days) entered the times and places he visited as he made his rounds. One log stated that the driver had visited the Arcadia at 2 a.m. and “all was quiet.” He failed to mention the massive fi re and the three fi re engines that were on the scene at 2 a.m.

Let’s make it a point to show our kids a part of American history before it disap-pears by taking them to the drive-in this summer and give some thought to all the other ways we can share our history with our kids.

� e Ruxton Ave. Railway and the Taggarts In June, 1893 the city of Manitou

Springs approved the construction of a new electric railway from Manitou up Ruxton Avenue to the Iron Springs. In February, 1895 the city council renewed the franchise for building the street railway up Ruxton and make improvements to the street at the same time.

John C. Beye of Kenosha, Wis., arrived in early March to make a fi nal survey of the proposed railway. Ties and rails have been ordered. The standard-gauge ties would come from near Divide. Forty pound steel was going to be used. Three open cars had been ordered. The building of the line was now assured, but demands for the improvement of Ruxton Avenue remained on the list of demands. The path would become a forty foot wide street, with fewer sharp turns and dips.

A large crew of men was expected in a few days. The ties and rails were arriving and the grade would be ready to see these laid within a week. The photographers J.G. Hiestand and R.D. Weir purchased from the Iron Springs company right next to the route of the street railway a three-acre spot that included access to Little Chief spring.

A crew had started putting in track from near the Rio Grande depot westward. Another crew worked from the cog station down Ruxton. Work on the line started, and a rumor went out that it would actually be used by the cog road to reach the Rio Grande’s Manitou Station. The charter for the line included exceptions to any use by steam vehicles.

William Frizzell was superintendent of the line’s construction and Ben Taggart was in charge of the track laying team. Taggart was, without a doubt, the fi nest selection for the job. In addition to this line he was experienced in diffi cult jobs, like the cog.

He also worked for the Colorado Midland in Ute Pass at Cascade. In May, 1895 the fi rst car went all the way up to Iron Springs, testing the track. Starting the next Sunday the trains started running regularly, every 15 minutes.

The work on the Manitou Electric Railway & Casino and the Manitou & Pikes Peak Railway included a well-known fam-ily, the Taggarts. The family had come from Ohio for work. The family was employed at fi rst by the Colorado Midland, and served on the track maintenance or “section” crew in Ute Pass at Cascade. Ben Taggart worked at Florissant after returning to the Mid-land. John B. continued to work for the cog road, and in the summer lived at Windy Point. His son Brough J was born there in 1895, and worked his whole life for the company. His son John E. followed along, becoming engineer and shop foreman.

The Manitou line up Ruxton used three cars over the years. They were called “Dinkys” since there were smaller than the Colorado Springs cars. It was abandoned and taken up in the spring of 1935, lasting longer than the Colorado Springs line.

Mel McFarland, artist, author, retired teach-er and railroader, is a Colorado Springs na-tive who has a strong interest in the events of this area’s past.

Tissue harvesting threatens livesAccording to the American Free

Press, there is a sordid industry harvesting tendons, ligaments, knees, skin, veins and eyes from deceased organ donors and grieving poor people who have just lost a loved one. A Newsday editorial labeled the prac-tice international “body wrangling.”

Unlike the well-regulated nonprofit organ donor system, there is lax regu-lation and oversight of the $1 billion a year human-tissue industry. With America leading the way as the biggest supplier and consumer of harvested body tissue in the world, the price of human body parts is all about supply and demand and it’s a seller’s market.

Ground-level body wranglers in the United States can get as much as $10,000 for each corpse they secure through their contacts at hospitals, mortuaries and morgues. Sharing in the pie are funeral homes acting as middlemen in the procurement of bodies and hospitals, which get paid for the use of “tissue recovery rooms.”

Interestingly, Federal law forbids the buying and selling of body parts but allows companies to charge “rea-sonable fees” for procuring and sup-plying tissue. This is an industry un-like any other where a hodgepodge of over 2,000 nonprofit and for-profit players compete vigorously for bodies.

The FDA, the government organi-

zation charged with overseeing the tissue-transplant industry, is woefully under-funded and lacks the manpow-er to inspect the plethora of business-es. There are absolutely no regulations as to who can go into the body parts business; in fact, you could start one in your garage tomorrow.

If that’s not bad enough, legitimate tissue suppliers put thousands of Americans at risk every day. A 3-month investigation by The Associated Press found problems ranging from inad-equate testing for potentially deadly germs to lack of a unified system for tracking tissues as they travel from do-nor to recipient.

That’s no news to Brian Lykin’s par-ents, who were told by their son’s doc-tor not to worry, as he prepared to use cartilage from a cadaver to fix their son’s knee in a routine elective surgery.

A million people a year have opera-tions using tissue from donated dead bodies, they were told.

The nation’s largest tissue compa-ny had supplied the cartilage and the physician assured them it had been disinfected and was perfectly safe. Not true.

Four days after surgery, the healthy 23-year-old Minnesotan died from a raging infection.

It turns out that the corpse had sat un-refrigerated for 19 hours and then was inadequately sterilized.

Isolated incident? Perhaps not.Ken Alesescu died in his San Luis

Obispo, California home - a victim of a fungus-infested heart valve. Alan Min-vielle from Santa Cruz, California al-most lost a leg to gangrene from a bad tendon and Bonny Gonyer of Chip-pewa Falls, Wisconsin suffers chronic pain and walks with a limp due to tainted tissue.

The industry’s deadly face is fur-ther complicated by the fact that doc-tors know little about the origins of the tissue they use leaving it up to the hospital to buy it - like they do surgical gloves and bed pans - based on price and availability.

Session over, where do we go now?The Colorado General Assembly’s

2013 session came to a close last week without the extra-innings drama of the previous year. No doubt, much was accomplished over the past four months by the Democrat-controlled Legislature, including approval of some high-profile pieces of legisla-tion.

Civil unions? Check. (Unlike last year, there would be no last-minute theatrics over a bill approving these.)

Numerous gun-control measures? Check.

Overhaul of Colorado’s election rules? Check.

Mass frustration by Senate and House Republicans? Check.

A statement released by the Colo-rado Republican Party the day after the session’s end called it “the most divisive and partisan in the state’s his-tory.” We’re not sure where to rank the session on the all-time list, but it cer-tainly was both very divisive and very partisan.

It also was very predictable. No-vember’s elections ensured one-party control in Colorado.

With a House, Senate and governor united, little could stand in the way of getting bills passed, controversial or not — a single vote from the other party or not.

And while the session was not with-out some solid examples of bipartisan legislation, Democrats were prolific with their newfound power.

“You may not agree with everything we’re doing, but you can’t say we’re not doing anything,” Democratic Rep. Dominick Moreno told Colorado Community Media legislative reporter Vic Vela in April.

We’re not using this space to call

out the Democratic Party. Republicans likely would also have taken full ad-vantage of such a position. Democrats worked together and accomplished what they felt was right.

But one-party control in a state that is about as purple as it gets has us wondering if Colorado’s residents were best served by this past legisla-tive session. On the state’s active vot-ing rolls as of May 1 there were 915,793 Republicans, 875,926 Democrats and 862,050 unaffiliated voters. That’s not far from one-third each.

Those figures make it tough to be-lieve that either party’s platform can adequately represent the constituency as a whole.

Clearly, consensus is elusive in Colorado, but if nothing else, the 2013 session was a test of the tastes of the hundreds of thousands of unaffiliated voters.

Theirs is the critique that will mat-ter most when they speak at the polls in 2014.

Storms cut short school � eld day Snow, thunderstorm cause double delays By Norma Engelberg [email protected]

Because they will all be going to Woodland Park Middle School next year, fi fth-graders from Col-umbine, Gateway and Summit elementary schools get together every spring for a little bonding and some friendly fi eld-day com-petition.

This year’s fi eld day didn’t go off as planned even after two tries. The fi eld day was originally planned for May 10 but a May 9 snowstorm left the fi eld at Wood-land Park High School covered in snow and the event was post-poned to May 14.

Students arrived for the event

and got off to a good start but by about 11 a.m. thunderclouds rolled in.

When thunder rumbled too close to the school, all the stu-dents immediately left the fi eld, leaving everything behind, and waited for a change in the weather in the school’s auxiliary gym.

“We never did get to go back out because of lightning strikes and rain,” stated Columbine physical education teacher Julie Cutting in an email the following day. “We certainly had a lot of dis-appointed students. It was tricky getting them on buses and re-trieving all their stuff on the fi eld. We had great leadership thanks to Brian Gustafson, Eric Owen, Jason Holmes, myself, Sue Wright and all the fi fth-grade teachers.”

She added that there won’t be a third try to have the fi eld day be-cause of end-of-the-school-year commitments.

Mueller beckons photographers By Pat Hill [email protected]

A challenge as well as an opportunity, the Photo-Out contest at Mueller State Park calls all camera bugs to come and click. With exposure to 5,000 acres of Colorado natural beauty, the contest begins with a majestic palette.

Mountains, streams, trees, campground, fl owers or people, photographers can pick the subject as well as the location within the park.

“We want people to get outside, get to know the park and see how beautiful it is,” said volunteer Barbara Berger.

In the age of social media, the rangers will post the photos on the Mueller website

as well as its Facebook page for an updated method of showing off the park.

Lenore Hotchkiss, professional photog-rapher and former hiking guide at the park, will judge the contest. Exclusive to Mueller, the contest is divided into three time peri-ods, May 1 to June 30, July 1 to Aug. 31 and Sept. 1 to Oct. 30.

Contestants are divided into two age groups, younger than 17 and 17 and older. Contestants are asked to submit up to three high-resolution photos no larger than 2 MB to [email protected].

Winners will be notifi ed by email within 2 weeks after the end of each period.

“It’s a fun way to share the fun things they’ve seen and done while they’re here,” said park ranger Chelsea Murray.

Mueller State Park hosts a photography contest for two age groups. The photos must be taken within the 5,000-acre park and allow a range of subjects.

Charmee and Gary Andrews brought their candy business, Andrews Candies, to Woodland Park and opened for business May 9. Gary Andrews’ parents started the business in their home 58 years ago in Arkadelphia, Ark. Today, the Andrews family, which includes their sons, Je� and Brett, o� er a variety of nut brittle, each hand-made at the shop. As well, the family makes peanut and pecan patties. The Andrews feature their candies at shows across the nation and have a signi� cant mail-order business. Along the way, Charmee became famous for her chocolate fudge and was featured in Southern Living magazine.

In a mish-mash of properties, the as-sessor’s job is complicated by differences, some severe. “Teller County is not a cookie-cutter community. If you had a subdivision of typical homes they would all be within a certain range of each other,” Clark-Wine said. “We have old next to new, very big next to very small and large acreage next to small acreage.”

A newer home among older proper-ties may not be valued correctly, she said. “Sometime an older smaller home will pull the value down in appraisal terms. Or if you have a small home in an area with large

homes, it won’t value correctly,” she said.

Appeals“Appeals are not an adversarial process;

it’s not your coming in to fi ght the assessor. We’re here to discover; are there things we don’t know, is there something about the condition, its attributes, its style, things we don’t know about, such as inside the house?” she said.

For information about comparable sales, Clark-Wine urges property owners to look at the assessor’s part of the county’s website at co.teller.co.us.com. Select prop-erties of similar characteristics. “If you have a problem or a question, please come see us,” Clark-Wine said.

Property owners have through June 3 to appeal to the assessor’s offi ce.

Storms cut short school � eld day and got off to a good start but by about 11 a.m. thunderclouds rolled in.

When thunder rumbled too close to the school, all the stu-dents immediately left the fi eld, leaving everything behind, and waited for a change in the weather in the school’s auxiliary gym.

“We never did get to go back out because of lightning strikes and rain,” stated Columbine physical education teacher Julie Cutting in an email the following day. “We certainly had a lot of dis-appointed students. It was tricky getting them on buses and re-trieving all their stuff on the fi eld. We had great leadership thanks to Brian Gustafson, Eric Owen, Jason Holmes, myself, Sue Wright and all the fi fth-grade teachers.”

She added that there won’t be a third try to have the fi eld day be-cause of end-of-the-school-year commitments.

By Pat Hill [email protected]

In a creative bond with the Earth, Francisco Sotomayor fi nds in-spiration as well as narrative in rocks and minerals, using his

hands as storyteller.In two dramatic pieces, with

chrysocolla as battleground, Soto-mayor weaves a tale of struggle be-tween hero and villain, between scor-pion and spider.

“The big scorpion looks like he’s got the victory; he’s made a contact point where he’s penetrating the claw of the other,” he said. “The smaller one has a hapless face for being at-tacked while the other scorpion is more aggressive. I can slant the eyes and do things to make the one look more aggressive.”

Following the narrative, at one point on the “stage” of crysocolla, things don’t look good for the spider. “As you can see, the scorpion has the leg of the spider in his claw,” Soto-mayor said. “You’ll pity the spider because you’ll know he’s the meal of

the scorpion.”However, as sculptor develops the

story he changes the apparent victor to the underdog, for a kind of hurrah end to the story.

As the mineral is commander, Sotomayor marches to its dictates, honing his craft with diamond saws, grinders and chisels.

“The chrysocolla is all carved un-derwater,” he said.

In another twist on fi ne-tuning the intricacies of indigenous stones, Sotomayor goes to the interior of quartz crystals. “How do you carve on the inside of a crystal, make curves and bends?” he said, rhetorically.

Holding the crystal in a bucket of water, Sotomayor guides his tools from a tiny opening on the base of the quartz. “The abrasiveness of the diamond bit chewing away on the inside creates that frosting effect,” he said.

As the narrator-sculptor, Soto-mayor is driven by curiosity. “It was just a challenge because I was carv-ing outside on the quartz at fi rst,” he said.

In a kind of familial weave, So-tomayor’s wife, Mindy, recently discovered her own innate artistic skill, carving business-card holders from a variety of minerals, amazon-ite among them. “She’s found her niche,” he said.

Known around the region as well as the nation for his marble sculp-tures “Pas de Deux” and the “Ameri-can Woman,” Sotomayor has discov-ered another source for his artistry.

Ten years after creating the “Wom-an,” Sotomayor continues to show the piece, which he and his family transport in a sealed glass case.

Last year, Sotomayor and his cre-ation were written up in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and the Italian Tribune as well as local papers along the Eastern Seaboard.

His latest venture on the “Woman” is to hire an agent to market the piece in Changsa, China, where 97 percent of the world’s minerals are buried un-derground.

To date, the sculptor has auto-graphed 35,000 pieces from the sculpture.

Riggle talks about hospital By Pat Hill [email protected]

The voice of Pikes Peak Regional Hospi-tal, Eric Riggle is getting acquainted, fi gur-ing out where everything is and what goes where.

Director of marketing and public rela-tions for the hospital, Riggle takes over as the staff gears up to celebrate the sixth an-niversary of a place that began with a few people who believed in a dream.

“That was part of the appeal for me, a newer hospital in a small community,” he said. “The team here has done great out-reach and involved in so many different things.”

As the new marketer for the hospital, Riggle is focused on enhancing customer loyalty.

“We want to make sure people know what services are available and can access those services. That’s a whole team effort.”

For Riggle, increasing awareness and building relationships are vital to main-taining the hospital’s ties to the commu-nity. “From my perspective, in this fi ve-year period, the team has worked very hard to

make those happen.”Lurking over the hospital as well as the

public-relations director is the upcoming health-care law and the accompanying changes. “We’re all following what’s man-dated, whether by the Affordable Care Act, Medicare or Medicaid,” he said. “We’re go-ing to make the best of whatever opportu-nities are there.”

With his varied background in speak-ing to the public, Riggle, who was raised in Arvada, began his career at Coors brewery in Golden. Several years later, he joined the world headquarters of Coca-Cola in Atlan-ta, Ga.

“As director of media relations I worked on the 100th birthday at Coca-Cola, came just as the celebration was getting under-way,” he said. “It was perfect timing from my standpoint.”

From Coca-Cola back to beer, Riggle helped establish a distributorship in Al-bany, Ga., where the customers included Miller/Coors.

Riggle and his wife, Anita, have two chil-dren, Jason, who will be a senior at Wood-land Park High School, and Gretchen, who will be in the ninth-grade.

Lake George welcomes new principal Pat Lewis retiring at end of school year By Norma Engelberg [email protected]

Lake George Charter School didn’t have to look far to fi nd a new principal to replace Pat Lewis, who is retiring at the end of this school year.

Lewis has been the school’s principal for fi ve years. Her replacement is the charter school’s fi fth-grade teacher Bill Fredenburg.

Lewis was a counselor at Harrison Dis-trict 2 schools in Colorado Springs and before that she taught art. She earned her bachelor’s degree at Iowa State and has two master’s degrees from Kansas State. Her counseling degree and her administrators’ certifi cate came from the University of Col-orado, Colorado Springs.

“My husband (Steve) and I plan to trav-el,” she said. “We want to go somewhere it doesn’t snow.”

Fredenburg has 16 years of experience as principal at an elementary school in Mis-souri. Teaching at Lake George, starting two and a half years ago, is his third career. Af-ter retiring from the school in Missouri, he opened his own cabinetmaking business and then returned to teaching. He taught

a combined fi fth and sixth grade class last year. He is also the special education coor-dinator.

“I’m going to like the interaction with all of the kids and all of the teachers,” he said. “I’ll get to meet more of the parents.”

He added that he doesn’t see a need to do anything different when he takes over as principal. “I think the school is headed in a good direction,” he said.

“We’ve seen fabulous changes since we built the new school (in 2012),” Lewis said. “It’s 10 times easier for kids to get around, which means more teaching time.”

The school’s enrollment has doubled in the fi ve years Lewis has been principal.

“We have about 126 students,” she said. “Next year we’ll probably be at capacity and will have to start a waitlist. Parents are at-tracted to our smaller class sizes.”

While most of the state’s preliminary Transitional Colorado Assessment Program scores for third-grade readers are fl at this year, 94 percent of Lake George Charter School’s third-graders scored profi cient or advanced in reading.

“Keep an eye on the rest of our scores when they are released this fall,” Lewis said. “Our kids did great.”

Suzanne Steinke, who teaches a fi fth- and sixth-grade class this year, will teach only fi fth-grade next year.

The school will be hiring a new fi fth/

sixth-grade teacher.The school teaches kindergarten

through seventh-grade and has an online

program that goes through eighth-grade. For more information, visit www.lakeg-eorgecharterschool.org.

It’s all about animals at bill-signing Protection act, focus on shelter pets become law By Vic Vela [email protected]

Dogs had their day in Denver on May 13, as Gov. John Hicken-looper signed two pieces of leg-islation that led to some serious tail-wagging from our four-legged friends.

The governor — who brought his dog Sky to a bill-signing at the Denver Animal Shelter — put his signature on a bill aimed at pro-tecting dogs whenever police are called to their owners’ homes, and another that designates dogs — and cats — that are adopted from animal shelters as the state pets.

“These pets become a huge part of people’s lives,” Hicken-looper said.

Each bill received support from Democrats and Republicans in the General Assembly this legislative session.

“This is a bipartisan day for dogs,” said Sen. David Balmer, R-Centennial, who was fl anked by Democratic lawmakers, Sen. Lucia Guzman and Rep. Lois Court, both of Denver.

The three co-sponsored Senate Bill 226, known as the “Dog Pro-tection Act.” The bill requires law

enforcement agencies to put in place training, and to adopt poli-cies and procedures that offi cers would be required to adhere to whenever they respond to homes where there are dogs.

The measure allows dog own-ers the opportunity to put their pets outside or into another room whenever police come to the home for calls involving non-vio-lent situations.

The bill calls for the creation of a volunteer task force that will out-line offi cer training guidelines.

The bill was the result of recent headline-grabbing stories involv-ing offi cer-related dog shootings around the state.

Erie resident Brittany Moore’s German Shepard, Ava, was 4 years old when it was shot to death by a police offi cer there two years ago.

“We’ll always miss her and she’ll always be in our hearts,” Moore said afterward. “But I think this was a huge deal, this bill. I think it’s going to help a lot of situ-ations,”

The bill received unanimous support from both legislative chambers this session.

The same cannot be said about Senate Bill 201, which designates cats and dogs that have been ad-opted from state animal shelters and rescues as the state pets.

The bill received criticism from

animal breeder and retail groups, who felt that the legislation cre-ated a perception that it’s better to obtain pets from shelters and rescues, than from other places where pets can be adopted or pur-chased.

At times, legislative committee hearing testimony, and debate in-side the House and Senate, result-ed in lengthy discussions.

Democratic Sen. Andy Kerr of Lakewood, a bill sponsor, who brought his young son and his dog to the event, joked about the contentious nature of the legisla-tion. Just before Kerr was about to speak, playful dogs behind the po-dium got their leashes tangled up, which caused the Colorado state fl ag to tip over.

“Next time somebody brings me a bill and says this is a nice, easy little bill ...” quipped Kerr. “It’s kind of like taking your 3-year-old son and your dog to a bill-signing, and then trying to catch the Colo-rado fl ag at the same time.”

Rep. Brittany Pettersen, D-Lakewood, also a sponsor of Sen-ate Bill 201, said the challenges that surrounded the legislation were worth it, in the end.

“These are our most vulner-able animals, who need homes,” she said. “And it’s about bringing awareness and the importance of adopting animals.”

Woodland Park athletes enjoy successful state track meetRuddick finishes second in the high jump, while Erickson claims fourth in the discusBy Danny Summers [email protected]

LAKEWOOD – For the second time in three years, Gabby Ruddick finished second in the high jump at the Class 4A state track and field meet.

The Woodland Park High School senior leaped 5 feet, 3 inches at Jefferson County Stadium in Lakewood on May 16, finish-ing two inches behind Pueblo South’s An-gelique Urenda.

“I was happy to do what I could do,” Ruddick said. “I gave it my all.”

Ruddick was joined by three other Wood-land Park athletes at the state meet. Senior Hannah Erickson took home a fourth-place medal in the discus, and was 16th in the shot put. Her brother, Hayden, a sopho-more, finished ninth in the shot put, while senior Cody Westfall was 17th in the discus.

Representing Cripple Creek-Victor was junior Katie Tapia, who was 15th in the 2A long jump.

“We finished about where we thought we would,” Woodland Park coach Ron Pay-ton said of his team. “I’m pleased. I’m dis-appointed we didn’t have 10 or 15 kids at state, but we had a great year.”

Ruddick and Hannah Erickson scored 13 points – the same number as the Coronado girls team that won the Metro League meet two weeks ago.

“We thought that was great,” Payton said. “Coronado had all those distance run-ners and we were able to match what they did.”

Ruddick competed in two events at the state meet. She also raced in the 100 meter hurdles, but failed to qualify for the finals out of her heat.

“A couple of the other girls caught her in the end,” Payton said. “She ran a fast time. She ran a good race. It just didn’t turn out the way we hoped it would have.”

In the high jump, Ruddick and Urenda were tied at 5-3, when the bar was raised to 5-5. Ruddick barely missed on each of her

three attempts, clipping the bar with a foot as she went over. Urenda also clipped the bar with her foot, but it stayed in place for the victory.

“I had a pretty good season; I think I did pretty well,” Ruddick said. “The competi-tion was just real tough.”

Hannah Erickson threw the shot put 34-11 ¾ -- well back of the leaders. But when it came time for her to compete in the dis-cus (her best event), she was pumped. Her throw of 128-3 was almost three feet ahead ofb fifth-place finisher Mariah Walker of Sand Creek.

“Hannah will never throw the shot put in college,” Payton said.

“She’ll do the discus, javelin, hammer and weight throw. She’ll be very successful.”

Hayden Erickson’s shot put toss of 49-10 ½ landed him on the podium where he re-ceived his first state medal.

“That was awesome,” Payton said. “We’re really looking forward to the future.”

Tapia competed in the long jump on Fri-day. She jumped 14-8, well below her sea-son best of more than 16 feet. Lyons senior Nola Basey won the event with a leap of 17-7 ½.

Tapia finished fifth in state as a freshman and fourth last year as a sophomore with a career-best leap of 17-3 ¼.

great year.’

Baseball Season Comes to an End for Pioneers By Danny Summers [email protected]

The Cripple Creek-Victor baseball team wrapped up its season last month. The Pio-neers ended the campaign with a 0-12 re-cord.

“The kids tried real hard,” said Pioneers coach Scott Davies.

“They held their heads high and they showed great sportsmanship.”

The Pioneers scored just nine runs all season, while allowing 193. Davies had just 10 players on the varsity roster. But by sea-son’s end the number of eligible players was below the allowable limit to fi eld a team, forcing the Pioneers to forfeit their fi nal three games.

Among the factors Davies was facing was the lack of overall experience of the players.

“A lot of the kids are just starting out and we have to spend a lot of timen on the basics, Davies said. “We’re working with the city to try and get a feeder program so by the time they get to high school we can work on their strengths and weaknesses.”

The team’s top player was sophomore Cody Rice, who was named the Pioneers’ offensive player of the year. He batted over .300 and played a solid third base and shortstop. Other top players included soph-omore Zion Dickerson, and juniors Toby Wuellner and Scott Cain.

WINSTEAD STEPS DOWNFormer Woodland Park baseball and

softball coach Chris Winstead has decided to leave the coaching ranks to spend more time with his family.

Winstead, who coached at Woodland Park through the 2011 baseball season, was most recently the head coach at Rampart in Colorado Springs. He guided the Rams to the baseball playoffs the last two seasons.

Winstead said he plans on returning to his native Oklahoma to be closer to his dad and Down syndrome brother. His daughter has been accepted to nursing school there.

Winstead, 49, is a graduate of the Uni-versity of Oklahoma. He coached Woodland Park for seven seasons, leading the Panthers baseball team to the postseason four times.

STATE GAMES CYCLISTS TO RACE UP PIKES PEAKFor the fi rst time in Rocky Mountain

State Games history, cycling athletes will now get the chance to climb to the summit of Pikes Peak – America’s Mountain – on Sunday, July 21, the fi rst of two weekends of the event this year. The competition will begin at 6 a.m.

The course is 20 kilometers (12.4 miles) the same distance the automobiles use for the world renowned Pikes Peak Inter-national Hill Climb. The race and ride is a fully supported cycling event that provides a limited number of cyclists (maximum of 1,500) the chance to tackle one of the most challenging climbs in the world. Riders will negotiate over 154 turns and climb over 4,700 feet on their way to America’s Moun-tain summit.

This summer the Pikes Peak Cycling Hill Climb takes place the day after the Mount Evans Hill Climb. Evans and Pikes Peak are the two highest paved roads in the U.S and for those cyclists that attempt to climb both of these 14,000 feet mountains on the same weekend it will take courage and heart!

There will be special awards to those who brave and accomplish this amazing feat.

Athlete Registration is now open on line at: www.rockymountainstategames.org

DUMAS RETURNSThe two fastest auto drivers in the histo-

ry of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb will square off directly against each other in the prestigious Unlimited Division during the 91st edition of the Race To The Clouds on June 30.

Last year, French racing star Romain Du-mas shocked the crowd of over 6,000 on the hill when he turned in a blistering time of 9 minutes 46.181 seconds in the Pikes Peak Open Division. He drove a Porsche 911 GT3R on the way to Rookie of the Year hon-ors during the fi rst edition of the race on a fully-paved course.

That shattered the old mark of 9:51.278 set by the legendary Nobuhiro “Monster” Tajima in 2011, the fi rst driver ever to break the ten-minute mark.

But Dumas’ record did not stand long. Decorated Pikes Peak veteran Rhys Millen roared off the start line in the Time Attack Division and reached the 14,110-foot sum-

mit in his 2003 Hyundai Genesis Coupe in a breathtaking 9:46.164 – a mere .017 seconds better than Dumas.

Dumas announced last week that he will be back again with fi re in his eyes and a goal of the prize in the Unlimited Division. This time he will be behind the wheel of a Nor-ma prototype, where he will meet both Mil-len, driving an all-new, ultra-lightweight, purpose-built race car using major power train components from Hyundai’s produc-tion-based Lambda engine family with 900 horsepower.

Also racing in the division will be nine-time WRC World Rally Championship win-ner Sebastien Loeb of France, driving a Peu-geot 208 T16 Pikes Peak.

The 13-entry Unlimited Division also includes the likes of three-time Pikes Peak Open champion Dave Carapetyan, Jean-Philippe Dayraut of France (3rd in Unlimit-ed in 2011), Cody Loveland, Denver’s Spen-cer Steele (the 2012 Open Wheel Division winner and three-time champion in that di-vision), and Doug Siddens (last year’s win-ner in the Exhibition Powersport Division).

Nine-time Unlimited champion Tajima will stick again in the Electric Auto Division after his entry in that fi eld was cut short by an onboard fi re last year.

Dumas won the 2010 24 Hours of Le Mans, and Loeb was second in the famous endurance race in 2006 and was named French Sportsman of the Year in 2007 and 2009, making both drivers famous around the world.

Censner named Coach D Scholar By Pat Hill [email protected]

Honored for making a differ-ence in the lives of his fellow stu-dents as well as the community, Jacob Censner won the $1,000 Coach D Scholarship award. He plans to attend Fort Lewis College in Durango next year.

A senior at Woodland Park High School, Censner was recognized for his role in a variety of projects throughout the community:

• Participated in the Salvation Army’s bell-ringing during the holiday season

• Participated in community clean-up projects

• Coached teams at local youth sports camps

• Coached third- and fourth-grade football teams

• Participated in the freshmen mentoring program

• Helped with the Best Buddies program

• Served as captain of the var-sity football and basketball teams

After the ceremony, Censner offered a glimpse into his mo-tivation to excel at community service. “I’ve been raised by my parents to help others,” he said.

“As many people who have helped me, it seemed like it should go back around. It’s good karma.”

The award honors the late Coach Rich Dispenza, who died suddenly July 4, 2011. Students from high schools in Cripple Creek, Manitou Springs and Woodland Park are eligible for the award as “Coach D” coached teams at the three high schools.

“Coach,” as he was affection-ately called, touched the lives of kids all over the region, including those at the ChildrensARK, which closed last year.

Under the direction of Paula and Neil Levy, the second annual Coach D Make a Difference Day is July 27.

The day begins with a memo-rial golf tournament, includes a character-building camp for chil-dren and concludes with a com-munity-wide spaghetti dinner at the Woodland Park Middle School Commons.

The proceeds benefi t the Coach D Making a Difference Scholar-ship program. For registration forms or more information, call Paula Levy at 331-3640 or email [email protected]

Ride of Silence is held every May in hun-dreds of locations around the world. Ride of Silence is a sort of rolling memorial to hon-or bicyclists that have been injured or killed by motorists. Ride of Silence also promotes

sharing the road and provides awareness of bicycling safety.

The bicyclists arrived at Safeway and were treated to a feast of sandwiches, fruits & veggies, and Buffalo wings provided by local businesses. Later, guest speakers gave tribute to each of the eight cyclists who were killed last year in Colorado, and spoke about ways cyclists can increase their safe-ty. After an emotional poem, eight biode-gradable balloons were released in remem-brance of the eight killed bicyclists.

The Woodland Park Ride of Silence was organized by Debbie Maresca of Mountain Top Cycling Club. Event sponsors include Subway, Wild Wings, Nuts and Bolts Quilts and Needle Works, Paradise Liquors, True Life Medicine, and Auto Zone of Woodland Park.
