New Starbucks to be constructed at Wal-Mart CenterBy Danny SummersDsummers@ourcoloradonews.com

The Woodland Park Wal-Mart will finally get a neighbor on its side of the highway.

Starbucks, the largest coffeehouse com-pany in the world with nearly 21,000 stores in 62 countries, will add a new location by the end of the year at the parking lot en-trance of Wal-Mart just off U.S. Highway 24.

Sally Riley proposed the amendment that gained unanimous approval (8-0) at

the July 25 City of Woodland Park Planning Commission meeting for the new Star-bucks. If all goes well, groundbreaking will take place before the end of the summer and the store will be up and running by the end of the year.

“The project meets the requirements of accepted land planning practices and pro-motes public, health, safety and general welfare through good site planning, aes-thetically pleasing building with connec-tion to the existing sidewalk and trail,” the

Planning Commission said in its report.The new Starbucks will be the first pad

site to develop since Wal-Mart opened in November 2007. The 1,920-squae foot cof-feehouse will have a drive-through lane and a 22-space parking lot.

No new sidewalks are proposed, other than those associated with the Starbucks footprint. An existing five-foot concrete sidewalk is located on the northern bound-ary of Lot 2, which connects easterly to sidewalk system along Highway 24 and westerly to the eight-foot wide asphalt trail along Fountain Creek. Starbucks internal pedestrian sidewalk connects to this exist-ing sidewalk.

According to the City Utilities Depart-ment, the proposed 1,920-square foot building is a minor addition to the city’s existing water and sewer service demands. A 10-inch water main and an eight-inch sanitary sewer line exists within the service drive and was installed during the develop-ment of the Wal-Mart center.

Private service lines will be installed to

connect to the existing utility lines. An ex-isting fire hydrant is located near the build-ing, which is sufficient to serve the new fa-cility.

Starbucks has proposed to landscape with plant materials that will complement Wal-Mart’s landscape and meets city stan-dards.

Starbucks also proposes to match the existing lights along the Wal-Mart center driveway.

The proposed structure is also designed to complement Wal-Mart’s architecture; tan color stucco and concrete block walls, and cultured stone columns, trimmed with wood timber ascents.

A gabled entry feature and awnings over the front windows add visual interest to the design. The green metal roof ties the build-ing’s design directly to Wal-Mart’s awning and tower features.

This new Starbucks will be the city’s third location. The other two are located at 320 W. Midland Ave. and 1101 Highway 24 in the Safeway market.

Mountain Arts Festival this weekendBy Pat Hillphill@ourcoloradonews.com

From photographing trees and barns in Indiana to turning her lens on landscapes and wildlife in Colorado, Tina Rodholm of Wood-land Park has found a new source of inspiration.

“Once I came here I was struck by the beauty in Colorado and got more serious about my photogra-phy,” she said.

One of 80 artists in the annual Mountain Arts Festival Aug. 3 and 4, Rodholm sets herself apart with an unusual mounting procedure that gives a unique perspective to each piece.

The printed images on metallic paper adhere to a wooden plaque, she said.

“The photos are then sealed and coated so they’re protected and water-resistant, ready to hang on the wall,” she said. “The meth-od gives a little more of a contem-porary look versus the traditional glass and frame.”

Stepping lightly into the pro-fessional-photography field, three years ago Rodholm set up a web-site for online viewing of her work that captured more than enough eyes.

“That was my determining fac-tor to decide if I wanted to enter art shows,” she said.

Since that time she has shown her work around the state, includ-ing the Pikes Peak Arts Fest in Colorado Springs last month. “My mom, Darlene Kujawski, helps me,” Rodholm said. “Shows are a lot of work and I couldn’t do them without her.”

For the Mountain Arts Festi-val, Rodholm is preparing photo-graphs from a summer trip to the Tetons, Glacier and Yellowstone parks and Banff, Canada.

“In the Tetons, I saw three griz-zlies, a bald eagle and two moose and a calf, all in one day,” she said. “It was the best day ever; amaz-ing.”

Rodholm, who works at home as the project manager for a soft-ware company is, at times, lucky enough to meld the two occupa-tions.

“I’ve had the occasion when I’ve been at work to see a bear walking up the road, so I grab the camera, snap some photos and go

back to work,” she said.Rodholm titles her business

“His Beautiful Canvas,” which re-flects her sense of spirituality as the essence of her photography. “My philosophy is that God paints this beautiful image in front of me and I get the opportunity to cap-ture the pictures,” she said. “That’s been the underlying theme for my work.”

The Mountain Arts Festival is from 10 a.m.to 4 p.m. Aug. 3 and 4 on the green at the Ute Pass Cul-tural Center.

Miner Ed Hunter rememberedBy Pat Hillphill@ourcoloradonews.com

Miner extraordinaire, Ed Hunter of Vic-tor was passionate about mining, curious to the end about the Earth and the bounty that lay beneath.

Hunter died of congestive heart failure July 7 while sitting in his chair near the bay window, presumably taking in the view of the landscape he loved, the Victorian homes, the land, the natural ambience.

He was preceded in death by his wife Cherry, who died in November 2004.

Talking about her father, Kim Hunter cherishes the memories, of a childhood spent in mining camps, of the legacy im-parted by a man with an insatiable thirst for knowledge. Indeed, one of his last conver-sations was about his favorite subject, min-ing.

Born and raised in Yonkers, N.Y. Hunter signed on with the U.S. Army and served in the 603rd Air Squadron from 1944 to 1946.

After his discharge from the military, on the advice of a school counselor, Hunter moved west to the Colorado School of Mines, earning a degree in mining engi-neering in 1953, his tuition paid by the G.I Bill.

He married Cherry, an Easterner from Philadelphia, in 1952 and the two moved to Golden. “Mom worked at Coors Brewery,” Kim Hunter said.

Ed Hunter’s first mining job was at the San Manuel Copper Corporation in Arizona where he started out at the bottom. “He was a mucker,” she said.

From then on, mining became part of Hunter’s DNA. From Arizona to Utah, New Mexico, Colorado and Alaska, he climbed the career ladder, mining coal, copper, lead, iron and finally gold. “I always say I grew up in a mining camp,” said Kim Hunter, one of four siblings born near or in mining camps in the West.

“As children we’d go on vacations to min-ing ghost towns; I thought this was what all children do for vacations,” she said. “But it was wonderful in a sense, because we got to see the West, the terrain change and learn about local communities.”

In 1975, the Hunters, Ed, Cherry and their youngest child, Liz, went to Nome, Ak., where he was charged with re-opening the gold dredges which had been shut down by the Alaskan government in 1961. “It was so exciting - my sister Nancy and I spent sum-mers there,” she said.

The family left Nome on a ferry through the Inland Passage on the Bering Strait. “Dad was always ready to meet the next challenge,” she said.

He found it in Victor, where he first

worked for the Cripple Creek & Victor GMC, a joint venture of Texas Gulf and Golden Cycle. He retired in 1993 as the history/cul-ture permit manager for the Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Co.

Over the years, Hunter developed a reputation as an educator and advocate for mining. “To me that captures what Dad was about. He wanted to make mining come to

life and make it real for people,” she said. “He tried to educate the public about the every-day uses of mining through the trails and the interpretive signs, talking about mining, bringing it to life.”

With a ravenous need to reach the high-est number of people, Hunter joined the Teller County Focus Group, wrote the inter-pretive signs and with his wife, helped build the trails around Victor.

“I don’t even like to think of all the log-hauling they did on the trails, well into their 70s,” Kim Hunter said.

The Hunters’ home reverberates with mining memorabilia, a well-used lunch box, tools, photographs and books, each to be donated to the Lowell Thomas Museum. “When I think of my dad, his two big loves were my mom and mining,” Kim Hunter said. “Mining was in his pores; he had a deep knowledge of mining and the Ameri-can West.”

In addition to siblings Kim, Nancy and Liz Hunter-Ball, Ed Hunter is survived by Andrew Hunter; and their families. At Ed Hunter’s request, there were no services

and the family request donations be made in his name to the Lowell Thomas Museum.

Ed Hunter was among the first to celebrate the 4 million ounce milestone for the Cripple Creek & Victor Mining Co. Aug. 4 2011.

Ed Hunter was doing one of his favorite things, giving a tour of a mine in Victor, this one the Portland Mine in 2008. Hunter died at home in Victor July 7. Courtesy photos

Ed HuntErJane Mannon, community affairs manager for CC & V, pays tribute to Hunter:

“It is so hard to imagine not getting random newspaper magazine clippings in my box anymore. He read everything, and could recall even the smallest bits of information. Ed was always such a great resource, I get lots of requests for informa-tion about the mining district, and Ed was the go-to guy. He would come up with the most obscure information. Even if he couldn’t find what someone was looking for, he could provide information that would be of interest.

I’ll miss him saying “good on you,” and advising against let-ting those “pot lickers” get under my skin.

CC&V’s process building is named after Ed. He is the exception to the rule of not naming anything permanent for a living per-son. There was never any question the he would do anything but make us proud to see his name every day.

He loved Victor and the mine. He was a driving force behind

the trails and interpretive signs of the Southern Teller County Focus Group. The State Historic Fund tried to complain about the length of the text on the signs, but it was just do darned interesting that we couldn’t cut anything. The longer signs would give hikers an opportunity to take a rest from hiking at over the 10,000-foot elevation.MANNON RECALLS A STORY TOLD BY GREG WINKLER, FOR-MER COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR:

Gov. Roy Romer was on one of his “Romer on the Range” tours and was in Victor and Ed got to telling stories. David Snell, the Teller County Administrator at the time, was getting anx-ious about getting to the next stop on time. Snell tried to gen-tly prod Romer to move along, and the Governor replied “Shut up, Ed is talking!”

Ed had the ability to hold everyone’s attention with a great story, and make us late for the next, very unimportant, event on our calendar.

‘When I think of my dad, his two big loves were my mom and mining. Mining was in his pores; he had a deep knowledge of mining and the American West.’

Kim Hunter, Ed’s daughter

Our Lady of the Woods gets approval for new sanctuaryPlans call for a 7,800-square foot facilty that will cost about $1.7 millionBy Danny SummersDsummers@ourcoloradonews.com

Our Lady of the Woods Catholic Church, located at the corner of Highway 24 and S. West Street in Woodland Park, recently re-ceived approval from the Woodland Park City Council to develop a new 7,800-square foot facility near the existing sanctuary.

“We’ve been planning this for over 10 years,” said Father Timothy Corbley of Our Lady of the Woods. “We’re ready to move forward.”

Father Corbley added that the project will cost about $1.7 million.

“We have half of that in the bank,” he said “We have another $400,000 pledged. We need about $300,000 more.”

The new sanctuary will take the place of the dilapidated structure that was dedi-cated in 1955. According to Father Corbley, the existing sanctuary has been in desper-ate need of repair for some time.

“The foundation is in bad shape,” he said. “It has different leaks all over the place. The windows are probably as old as the church. There are no restroom facilities upstairs. We’ve basically outgrown it.

“For us to remodel the church would cost more than building a new one.”

The Colorado Springs Catholic Diocese has been working very closely with Our Lady of the Woods. In fact, the diocese has final say over any major projects that take place on the property.

“Before we could do anything the dio-cese had to approve our plans,’ Father Cor-bley said.

Initially plans called for a larger sanc-tuary. But it was finally agreed that a 7,824-square foot building would be ad-equate. The new sanctuary will seat 400 people, with room for another 85 in the outlaying areas.

The current sanctuary holds about 200.“We are definitely excited about grow-

ing,” said Ted Bonner, Our Lady of the Woods member and project manager for the new facility. “To have a facility to wor-ship in that isn’t falling apart will be great. This isn’t a want at this point. This is a need.”

Ed Parker has been a member of the church for about a year. He is also excited about having a new sanctuary.

“The space will be much more worship-

ful,” Parker said. “Our services now have much more participation than when the original church was built in the 1950s. Peo-ple are more involved now.”

Father Corbley, Bonner and the project committee are in the process of hiring a general contractor/construction manager to head up the project.

They hope to have someone in place in the coming weeks.

“We’re hoping to break ground in the fall and we’re hoping to be in our new building by next Easter,” Father Corbley said.

Our Lady of the Woods sits on about 6 ½ acres.

There is a large natural grass field behind the existing building called Kavanagh Field.

The church contracts with the City of Wood-land Park so that youth baseball teams can practice and play games.

With the new facility, however, use of the field will be reduced.

“We will probably only be able to have T-ball out there in the future,” Father Corbley said. “We have to protect our windows. We don’t want them broken from flying base-balls.”

Adequate parking already exists at Our Lady of the Woods. Father Corbley said that the existing sanctuary will be converted into a parish hall.

Father Corbley added that he expects the church congregation to continue to grow during this process.

“The last three years we’ve grown from five baptisms a year to more than 15,” he said. “We expect membership to go up about two to three percent once the new facility is built.”

In recent weeks, Our Lady of the Woods had a new electronic sign installed along Highway 24. It has a scrolling message and informs people of mass times.

There are about 310 member families at Our Lady of the Woods, and another 50 at the church’s Cripple Creek facility - St. Pe-ter’s Chapel.

“We’re going to renovate up there,” Fa-ther Corbley said. “We’ll be restoring win-dows and adding a social hall that will hold 100 people.”

Bronc Day slated for August 3The 75th annual Bronc Day festival in

Green Mountain Falls begins at 7 a.m. Aug. 3 with a pancake breakfast at the fire station on Ute Pass Avenue.

The main attraction, however, is the parade which begins at 10 a.m. This year’s Grand Marshals are John and Modenia Kramer.

Modenia is a mainstay every year in the

parade.Dressed in Victorian elegance, she is re-

gal as she marches amid the horses, the bi-cycles and the antique cars.

As some march in simulated drunken stupor, Modenia leads the temperance la-dies who frown upon such public inebria-tion.

The parade features the Sister Nations

Color Guard composed of Native American women army veterans representing various tribal nations.

Also in the parade are the Al Kaly Pipe and Drum Corps, fire engines, floats, clown cowboys and gunfighters.

After the parade, the festivities continue with a rubber-duckie race and a radio-con-trolled model boat race on Gazebo Lake.

There will also be a 26-foot high air slide and Disney Bouncer.

Entertainment includes Buck Goucher, renowned country and western artist, Indi-ans performing tribal dances and the Rocky Mountain Gunfighters show.

Multiple arts and crafts and food booths line the lake shore. For information, visit www.broncdayco.org.

Kramers to be Bronc Day Grand MarshalsBy Pat Hillphill@ourcoloradonews.com

Stylish with a flair for the dramatic, Modenia Kramer adds elegance and piz-zazz to the annual Bronc Day parade. Marching along Ute Pass Avenue, Kramer plays the fashionable temperance lady of the late 19th century who constantly cen-sures the drunken sot marching alongside, a role played by her son Sid Kramer.

Two years ago, Kramer lent her theatrical touch to the parade as the leader of the suf-fragette movement in America, represented that day by several of the town’s ladies.

This year Kramer lends her regal stature to the parade while riding in a modern-day chariot, maybe a convertible. Selected with her husband John to be the Grand Marshal of the parade, Kramer trades her role from one of censure and advocacy to that of hon-ored celebrity. “The Kramers are the heart of the Bronc Day Parade,” said Dick Bratton, a member of the event committee.

Approaching their 60th anniversary, the Kramers are intimately tied to the town’s history, particularly through their home in a cabin built in 1936 by his grandfather Haydn Jones.

Through the years, the couple remod-eled the cabin but maintained its rustic character and architectural significance. Much of the refurbishing was done by the late Larry Lindholm.

The cabin holds memories, in photo-graph and mementoes as well as the inte-rior stonework, the breathtaking view and, of particular interest, the stone fireplace.

John recalls the moment when Modenia paid a visit from her home in Oklahoma and he brought her to the cabin. “I laid a fire in the fireplace before we went to the Crystola and danced,” he said. “I brought her back here and gave her a ring; she lit my fire right there.”

Modenia added, “He’s very romantic.”As Mrs. John Kramer, Modenia became

part of the family that included John’s mother Eleanor, who in 1957 married the town butcher George Brown. “George would do pancake breakfasts, make a huge pot of baked beans, all for the volunteer fire department,” Modenia said.

The Browns were the Grand Marshals of the Bronc Day Parade in 1979.

For the next few decades, John, Modenia and their four sons spent alternate sum-mers at the cabin. “Of the four, Sid was the one who became addicted to GMF and the cabin,” John said.

Since 2000, the Kramers have spent ev-ery summer in Green Mountain Falls while continuing to live the remainder of the year in Oxnard, Calif.

A source of inspiration for Modenia, Green Mountain Falls became her muse. “This cabin, Colorado and this place in-

spired her to write,” John said with obvious pride.

To date, Modenia has self-published two novels, “Lilly Going West” and the sequel “Melinda Ann: Secrets of Kingsley Man-sion.”

Modenia’s creativity extends to the easel as she uses her brush to pay homage to the town’s beauty.

In a town distinguished by people with strong roots and reverence for the moun-tain ambience, the Kramers are a reflec-tion of that special sense of place found in Green Mountain Falls.

“We feel honored to be selected as the Grand Marshals,” Modenia said.

The parade begins at 10 a.m. Aug. 3 on Ute Pass Avenue.

Modenia Kramer still twirls a pretty mean lasso. She learned from the best, the late Cactus Jack, whose pres-ence in the Bronc Day Parade was a mainstay for decades.

GMF group distrusts board By Pat Hill phill@ourcoloradonews.com

Dick Lackmond, a member of the recall committee in Green Mountain Falls, speaks out about the effort to recall several trust-ees. “The pending recall comes from a dis-trust of the board,” Lackmond said. “It is ev-ident that the board is not communicating between themselves; decisions have been made without involving the entire board.”

As well, Lackmond took a pot shot at the marshal’s trustee Howard Price. “Mr. Price has a vendetta against the police depart-

ment,” he said. “Several people have been screaming

and hollering that the board is not listening to them.”

At this point, Lackmond said, several residents are looking at the legal ramifi ca-tions of a recall. “It won’t be all the board, a couple of people are subject to the recall,” he said, declining to name any of the trust-ees.

At Lackmond’s suggestion, Mayor Lorrie Worthey has scheduled a public meeting to discuss community issues as an agenda item for the regular Aug. 6 meeting.

King weighs in on recall By Pat Hill phill@ourcoloradonews.com

Robert King, former two-term trustee in Green Mountain Falls, isn’t convinced that fi ve trustees on the current board need to be recalled. King attended a meeting of the recall committee on a Sunday in July.

“I went just to fi nd out what was going on,” he said. “Of the six present, only three pushed for the recall.”

While King said he found the commit-tee’s grievances vague, he did report that the three felt the board of trustees hadn’t responded to their questions. “I wasn’t sure what those questions were,” King said.

After sitting through the meeting on the table outside the Green Box property, King felt the committee is driven by emotion. “I don’t think the recall is going to go any-where,” he said.

With mayor pro tem Jane Newberry a target of the recall, King is puzzled.

“She’s done so much for the town,” King said.

As well, King accomplished much during his two terms, from 2004 to 2012. Among them is securing the grant from the state’s historical society to refurbish the gazebo and providing a long-term funding stream, with the engraved pavers, for the gazebo and the land offi ce.

King was a member of the board when the town joined the Pikes Peak Rural Trans-portation Authority, which was ultimately approved by voters in several municipali-ties and the county of El Paso. As a result, the town is among the benefi ciaries of the 1 percent sales-tax revenue for maintenance and capital-improvements projects.

As far as the recall committee is con-cerned, King questions the emotional con-text of the recall effort. “When personalities get involved tensions rise,” he said. “If the recall does go through, I’m not going to support it.”

Hoist mishap kills 15: Were the guides greased?Editor’s note: Longtime Victor mining

historian Ed Hunter died earlier this month. Hunter is a former Board of Director’s mem-ber and longtime contributor to the Western Museum of Mining and Industry. Please see related story.

In one of the most tragic accidents in the Cripple Creek mining district, 15 min-ers lost their lives just going home from work at the Independence Mine. Or was it an accident? The January 28, 1904 edition of the Victor Daily Record noted that “The 15 bodies of the Independence accident were brought from the shaft house early yesterday morn-ing to the two undertaking parlors in this city.”

“Incidentally, the hoist itself is now at the Western Museum of Mining and Indus-try north of Colorado Springs, “ said noted mining historian Ed Hunter in 2004. “We hope to finish up the brake installation before too long so that the hoist can be available for museum visitors to inspect. It sits in a simulated hoist house behind the old Elkton Mine Headframe erected on the ridge to the south of the museum’s main building.”

Hunter also graciously turned me on to several accounts, each from a different perspective, on what happened with that accident.

John Hays Hammon’s autobiography is one of the sources identified.

“We took all possible precautions to protect our miners. One night after an inspection of the underground operations, I ascended the shaft and returned to the manager’s house where I was staying at the time. I had just gone to bed when word came of a bad accident at the mine,” wrote Hammon.

“Dressing as we ran, the manager and I hurried back to the shaft house I had just left. It was a shambles. Dismembered bodies were tangled with the wrecked ma-chinery. In an attempt at sabotage, some (union) member had greased the brakes of the hoisting engine. As the cage filled with men, rose to the surface, the brakes refused to grip and the cage shot up into the gal-lows frame. The engineer, helpless in the face of this horror, ran screaming from the

spot. I was overcome by this brutal deed,” Hammon wrote. Hunter also tabbed “Hard Rock Epic, West-ern Miners and the Industrial Revolution, 1860-1910” by Mark Wyman as an interest-ing read. In it, there is a first-hand account by James Bullock, the sole survivor, as told to the coroner’s jury.

“ ... We kept going right along but it kept slipping; we would go a little ways and then we would slip again; then he took us about six feet above the collar of the shaft, then he lowered us back down.”

When asked if the engineer stopped six feet above the shaft, Bullock replied. “He stopped for just a second or two; then he lowered us and it must have gotten beyond his control, for we dropped about sixty or seventy feet, we were going pretty fast. We said to each other we are all gone. Then he raised us up about ten feet; then he stopped us and it slipped back again about two feet; then he tried and started us again, and we went to the sheave wheel as fast as we could go.”

Also in Mark Wyman’s book had an account from the hoisting engineer, when said he discovered the brakes were not working when he tried to connect them as the cage reached the 200-foot level. The engineer is not identified by name but his account follows.

“I tried them several times but that time the cage was at the collar of the shaft. I im-mediately reversed the engine and sent the cage back 100 feet. I again tried the brakes, reversed the engine and brought the cage to the surface. The brake still stuck; I could not move it. I again reversed the engine and sent the cage back about the same distance and stepped to the other side and took hold of the other brake, it was in the same condition. The second time the cage came to the surface, I called three times for the shift boss, for God’s sake come and help me put on the brakes. In the mean-time, I was reversing the engine backwards and forwards. Mr. MacDonald came and two other men with him. I said come up and help me put on the brakes, and then I discovered the hood of the cage above the collar of the shaft. I immediately reversed the engine but it was too late.”

Hunter points out that John Hays Ham-mond book was published 31 years after the event and there is no way to prove or disprove his allegation of greased guides.

“The years seemed to have dimmed his memory on a couple of discrepancies in other details but in all fairness, greas-ing could have been the culprit. In no way does this excuse the omission of shaft safety devices noted by the mine inspec-tor,” says Hunter.

we’re in this together

letters to the editorDear Editor,I’ve sat by for months now only discuss-

ing some of these issues with fellow board members on a one-on-one basis. The Mayor of Green Mountain Falls who, in my humble opinion is woefully less-than-competent has, for a number of months, spent untold hours using social media to disseminate misinformation, innuendo and vague undefined wrongdoings about the majority of the board of trustees in an effort to “muscle” them into what must in her mind be some kind acceptance of her leadership.

After experiencing a dose of what I call the “Colorado Brand of Independence” she has decided to take a different approach. The old political quote “If ya can’t beat `em’, lead `em’” didn’t work so she’s moved on to “If ya can’t beat `em’, replace `em.’”

So how do you accomplish that? Not too hard. You gin up dissension by pumping up the volume on the innuendo and misin-formation, find a couple of dupes to do the leg work and financing for you, get your only ally on the board to endorse the recall effort and now all you’ve got to do is get the signatures on the petitions. Right?

Well, maybe. But now you’ve got to find five citizens who agree with your philoso-phy to run against the majority you find so offensive, who you can control and con-vince that you are the “do-all be-all” leader you seem to think you are. Here comes that pesky “Independence” again. Good luck trying to find five people anywhere who fill that bill.

The current board is made up of a relatively diverse group that doesn’t neces-sarily agree on every issue but won’t be led down the garden path by any one. I think this is a good thing.

If you are consistently unable to con-vince others that you are right and they are not you probably need to consider the fact that maybe, just maybe, it’s you who is wrong. This whole episode sounds like a proud mother watching the march-ing band in a parade and blurting out “Oh look, everyone’s out of step but my Johnny.”

The problems we face all revolve around money. Sound familiar? How and where it gets spent is a bone of contention. It

probably always will be. Sound familiar? We operate GMF with 15-20% less money than we did in 2007. Even with the 3 mil increase our voters agreed to in 2012 to help us maintain services at then-current levels costs have risen to negate that. We simply can’t afford more assets without more revenues.

The pie hasn’t gotten any bigger and is not likely to any time soon. The size of the slice you got last year is pretty much the size of the slice you’ll get this year. Even free things cost money to maintain and bring new responsibilities and liabilities. Remember, this is Green Mountain Falls, Co., not Detroit, Mich. Except for some personality conflicts the town seems to move along fairly well. We have some great staff to thank for that. We still need a lot more money to do the things we need to do and I believe the dissension on the board doesn’t help but I won’t sit still while someone who, again in my humble opinion, hasn’t been able to get off the fifth-grade playground, puts their hands on their hips, stamps their foot, and sticks their tongue out at everyone.

It’s probably a good thing that my term is coming to an end in April, 2014. I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished in the maintenance department since 2006. We reorganized the department to a very high efficiency level.

Eliminating one full-time position and creating several part-time seasonal posi-tions works extremely well and we actually get considerably more work done with the same money. With the help of PPRTA (Pikes Peak Rural Transportation Author-ity) we’ve been able to acquire numerous pieces of necessary equipment. With the help of others we’ve been able to do some much needed fire and flood mitigation. We still need tons of road base and lots of help with the lake but with current staff I’m confident that will happen.

Reallocation of funds is what the “mi-nority” is after. Pure and simple. It doesn’t matter that the system in place works. Back in March 2012 I endorsed several candidates for “Office” (the first time I ever did so) and frankly I got fooled by one of them. I’ll probably endorse a few for the 2014 election and I won’t be making that

mistake again. The “minority” hopefully will remain

the minority. They run on fear and the fear they can instill in others and when that doesn’t work they rely on half- truths and innuendo to discredit people who are actu-ally honest and honorable (qualities they have only a passing interest in). What they really run on is “Empty”.

Sincerely,Mac Pitrone

in response to Pitrone’s letterEditor:This is written in response to Trustee

Pitrone’s letter:First, I would like to renew my assertion

that I have always told the truth. That is what I am here for. I would challenge my detractors to provide details to back up the claim that I have “disseminated mis-information.”

It is very easy to make assertions but I am confident that backing up those asser-tions about my communication with the citizens of Green Mountain Falls will be rather difficult.

Secondly, regarding the assertion that I am involved with the recall effort is again, untrue. I have gone on the record several times regarding this matter.

As stated earlier, making assertions is easy but backing them up with truth is

rather difficult.Regarding the recall, it is indeed unfor-

tunate that our citizens believe that this course of action is needed. I have to think that our board has had ample opportunity to avoid this but we have chosen not to listen. Instead, the conduct of our board smacks of hubris, privilege and a wrong belief that we alone know what is best for every citizen. Our citizens have been in our meetings saying “no – this is not what we want you to do”, and we have looked the other way.

Blaming the citizens (referred to as dupes by Mr. Pitrone) who are organizing the recall effort of the board is counterpro-ductive.

Perhaps a better course of action for our board to take is to begin actually listening to the people who elected us in the first place.

We need to start acting as representa-tives of the people of Green Mountain falls rather than having a “we know better than you” attitude.

I welcome any discussion concerning this and do hope that the Board of Trustees in Green Mountain Falls will one day be able to work together to benefit all of those who call this place home.

Dr. Judith A. Kerrins, former assistant (1979-82) and super-intendent (1982-85) of schools in Woodland Park died on July 18th at her home in Butte Creek Canyon, Chico, California, from pancreatic cancer. She fought the disease with the determination and research that characterized her approach to all other important things in her life. After more than 20 months, she parted gracefully with her beloved puppies, The Muffkin (her cat), and family by her side.

Born in Pontiac, Illinois on May 23, 1942, Judith was an only child of the boisterous Irish American Kerrins clan and the serious, studious Lewises of the Meriwether Lewis line of the family. She grew up in the south suburbs of Chicago, but cherished the time she spent with her beloved Grandfather, Ozro Lewis, who was the Warden at the Illinois Women’s prison and at the Petit farm with her many cousins (Kerrins, Corrigans, Raboins, and Petit’s). Her first school experience was at age five when she attended a one-room school house where her teacher, Miss Hockenberry, would serve as Judith’s life-long model of what teachers can and should be. She graduated from Carl Sandburg High School (Orland Park, IL.) and received her BS from St. Xavier University (Chicago).

After teaching in North Caro-lina and Illinois, Judith moved to Colorado to earn an MA degree in Guidance and Counseling from Adams State College. She worked as a K-8 school counselor in the Colorado Springs area, obtained a school administrative credential,

then worked as an elementary principal in western Colorado, before coming to Woodland Park as assistant superintendent and then superintendent of schools. As Superintendent, she created staff development opportunities for teachers and administrators, emphasized the use of technology for instruction and learning, and encouraged principals to spend time in classrooms observing and supporting teaching and learning. During that time she also took courses at the University of Colo-rado, Boulder, to obtain her Ph.D. in Educational Leadership.

In 1991 Judith joined the faculty at CSU, Chico, teaching primarily in the school administration and leadership program. Her high standards and authentic teaching practices (e.g., Communication Crisis Final) helped to ensure that CSU, Chico Administrative Creden-tial graduates were well prepared for the demanding leadership work required in 21st century schools. Her emphasis on reflective practice (“What did you learn and how will you use it?”) pushed students to become life-long learners.

Family and friends are invited to funeral services on Monday, July 29th at 11 am at the Newman Center, 346 Cherry Street in Chico; Mass will be followed by a Celebration of Life ceremony and light lunch, also at the Newman Center. Brusie Mortuary in Chico, California is handling the arrange-ments. The family also intends to set up a scholarship for Woodland Park students interested in pursu-ing a teaching credential; more information will be available about the scholarship later this summer.

Parks and trails threatened by recall Large governments have always consid-

ered development and progress benefi cial goals that all societies would want to strive toward. The social advantage of progress as defi ned in terms of increased incomes, higher standards of living and greater secu-rity are thought to be positive and should be obtained at any price.

Although one may argue that small com-munities must sacrifi ce their traditional cultures to obtain these benefi ts, big gov-ernment planners generally feel that this is a small price to pay for such obvious advantages. Many small communities and municipalities buried by bureaucracy have not chosen progress to enjoy its advantages but rather have had authoritative state and federal governments push progress upon them and that the price of forcing progress on unwilling recipients has involved the loss of political sovereignty, historical pres-ervation and the right to follow their own lifestyle.

“Does progress increase or decrease a given communities’ ability to satisfy the needs of its population?”

The progress business is a risky one at best. (Risk is the chance that an invest-ment’s actual return will be different than expected and includes the possibility of los-ing some or all of the original investment). For large corporations that may profi t from the success of developing a progressive idea, the risk may be worth the reward. For small governments/municipalities it is an unrealistic enterprise since the entity is “not for profi t” and will never benefi t from the investment. Let’s not confuse “think-ing outside the box” with progress either, as many small municipalities have to think outside the box to solve problems resulting from fi scal constraints.

Often progress and entitlements are the reason for the fi scal constraints in the fi rst place. We all know that the fi rst items on the chopping block when budget constraints hit are parks, trails and recreation. Why.... because they are entitlement services that generate less revenue than cost. The re-sidual benefi ts for these entitlements relate to lifestyle, assessed real-estate values and retail sales-tax revenue generation within a fl ourishing economic environment, al-though it is mostly hearsay with no sup-porting evidence.

Small nonprofi t municipalities that in-vest in progressive entitlement is just bad business. They need to be patient and wait for a specifi c progressive idea to become proven, removing the risk and allowing it to become an established practice rather than an unproven developmental idea. All that is left is to establish the compatibility of the idea with the needs of the community. Until then, the small municipalities should sim-ply be along for the ride.

It is a calculation and a question of un-met need versus unmet want. It is a battle over essentials versus entitlements and all too often our society’s decisions are driven by a feeling of entitlement, rather than an actual need. Fundamentally, it is more im-portant that one can drive safely down a street in winter compared with wanting heated seats at the civic park’s public re-stroom. In Green Mountain Falls (within the bottom 10 percentile of municipal rev-enue per capita in the state) the munici-pality does not have the funding necessary to entertain such “hot seat” eccentricities, an indicator being the municipality is al-ready down from fi ve full-time employees to three within seven years. Public works has privatized several aspects of its ser-vice since 2006, and collects competitive estimates regularly to assure the taxpayers that it is competitive. DPW operates with mostly older, dependable heavy equip-ment because the staff can perform most repairs in-house, saving money. The new stuff has too many things to go wrong and it is too expensive to fi x. Advancements in technology have very few applications with fundamental services; I’ve never heard of anyone who can operate a road grader or a snowplow truck in a rural setting like Green Mountain Falls using an iPad at a stoplight in Colorado Springs.

Progress is also often described in the same sentence with technological advance-ments, which immediately send up red fl ags. Cell phones, iPads, computers and other advancements are tools and should be used as such. In the last fi ve years it is apparent that they have become part of a culture of lifestyle centered on social media portals. People seem to have an inordinate amount of time to surf Facebook, Twitter

and other sites looking for the latest and greatest gossip.

Communication is important, but its misuse can lead to misinformation and misinterpretation of the facts. I remem-ber attending summer camp as a young teenager and they had an interesting exer-cise. Six of us would sit in a circle and the coach would whisper in the fi rst kids’ ear: “Purple grapes grow on the green slopes of Red Mountain, picked when the leaves turn yellow and stored in brown baskets.” The fi rst kid would turn and whisper it into the ear for the second kid and so on until the sixth kid would stand up and repeat what he heard, which was that “Red grapes were picked and stored in yellow pails on the brown slopes of Purple Mountain where the trees are green.”

It was a lesson about gossip and mis-interpretation; lately we have seen a lot of that in Green Mountain Falls.

In the last 12 months, since the Waldo Canyon Fire, the Green Mountain Falls Board of Trustees has been divided on al-most every issue. They cannot even agree to pay the bills out of budgeted funds.

The seven trustees vote on municipal issues and the vote is almost always called out 5-2. Now, the fi ve are being threatened with a recall election because several local residents do not like the results of the ac-tion-item voting. How is it possible that the fi ve, (who have lived and or owned property in Green Mountain Falls collectively for 200 years) are always consistently wrong in an environment where the community and municipality are steadily improving?

Green Mountain Falls has a new basket-ball court, new tennis court, a new fence around the pool, rehabilitated pool pumps and fi ltration, a new lake fountain, a re-habilitated gazebo and memory walkway, a new play park for the kids, better public works equipment, an aggressive roadway and right-of-way rehabilitation program, a new accounting system for the munici-pal administrator, improved patrol cars for the marshal and a new Ute Pass Avenue running through town, all in the last eight years, improvements worth over a million dollars. Three of the recall trustees have been here to assist with all of that. There are more paving projects, park projects and the construction of a new Town Hall on the books and yet someone wants to put a stop to it.

There are some who would like to dis-incorporate the municipality. Apparently they should do some research because a dis-incorporated town would be the end of the parks and recreation activities in Green Mountain Falls.

The counties have made it clear they will not maintain them and volunteerism is on the decline. The attention to the roadways and code enforcement would go away, too. My hope is that the members of the Green Mountain Falls community will stop bick-ering over unfounded claims and concen-trate on coming together as a community to preserve the municipality. The services pro-vided to the taxpayers are being taken for granted by some and there exists a need to preserve the municipality that provides the fundamental services to the community.

I have worked in Green Mountain Falls for more than eight years and have had the good fortune to work with many of the trustees (recalled or not) for a large per-centage of the time. I have a lot of respect for an individual who is willing to give up four evenings a year to attend sometimes-hostile town hall meetings, spend endless hours researching data and meeting with staff, asking and answering tough ques-tions, deciding on issues that affect us all. For up to eight years they subject them-selves to all of it for no pay. This is a serious commitment by full-time residents to their community/municipality. There is nothing stronger than the heart of volunteer and these volunteer trustees have done a great deal of good for this town. It is my opinion that threatening them with a recall election is very unprofessional, ungrateful and a low place to go. “The needs of the many out-weigh the needs of the few.”

As controversy swirls around Green Mountain Falls these days, the town’s historic landmarks remain constant. Pictured is the Gazebo at Christmas time. Courtesy photo

After a ribbon-cutting ceremony this month, the Gold Camp Connector is up and running between the cities of Cripple Creek and Victor. In a collaborative ceremony, Cripple Creek Mayor Bruce Brown cut the ribbon on his wide while Victor Mayor Buck Hakes did the honors in his city.

“I want to congratulate those who made the shuttle possible, thanks to the cities of Cripple Creek and Victor and the Teller County Coordinating Council,” said Teller County commissioner Marc Dettenrieder speaking at the commissioners’ meeting July 25.

As well, the Colorado Department of Transportation provided grants for the shuttle service, Dettenrieder added. “I hope the service goes well and that citizens in Teller County are served and also the visi-tors,” he said.

Looking ahead to 2014, Commissioner Norm Steen offered a heads-up on legis-lative issues. Steen represents the county with Colorado Counties, Inc. “If there is some state law that you believe needs to be added, changed or removed, now is the time to start the discussion,” he said. “That language is now being drafted, at least through CCI.”

As a member of the state’s transportation advisory commission, Steen keeps his eye on projects that affect Teller County. How-ever, with two-and-a-half times as many re-quests as money available, one vital project remains in limbo.

“The biggest one affecting Teller County is the upgrade to the interchange at I-25 and Cimarron,” Steen said. “If it’s approved, expect construction in the spring and com-

pletion by 2017.”The interchange project, now estimated

to be $105 million, has been on the “list” since 1971, Steen said.

Reporting news from the Pikes Peak Workforce Center, Commissioner Dave Paul, who chairs the center’s executive board, said unemployment in Teller and El

Paso Counties had risen to above 8 percent. “Unfortunately, those numbers are not moving in the direction we had hoped,” he said.

Commissioner Clark to serve as VP of NACo Special to The Tribune

During their annual summer conference in Fort Worth, Texas elected offi -cials representing counties from all over the United States chose El Paso County Commissioner Sallie Clark to serve as 2nd VP of the Na-tional Association of Coun-ties. NACo is the offi cial organization representing approximately 3000 coun-ties in Washington D.C.

Placing her name in nomination for the NACo offi ce, Commissioner Roy Charles Brooks of Tarrant County, Texas told confer-ence delegates, “Sallie Clark is a woman who has been tested by fi re. Her county like many communities across our nation has had a devastating natural disaster this year.

Over 700 homes and

thousands of acres were destroyed by 2 wildfi res and through it all, Sallie has been strong and worked hard to help her community recover.”

In seconding her nomi-nation, Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe add-ed, “Sallie Clark is a great representative for El Paso County and Colorado and she will be a great represen-tative for all of us working to maintain local control for critical county services.”

Commissioner Sally Heyman from Miami-Dade Florida added, “We come from different parts of the country and different po-litical parties but we share a common passion for public service and helping others.”

“This gives me the op-portunity to ensure that Colorado concerns are heard clearly in Washing-ton,” Commissioner Clark commented. “Colorado citizens know why it is so important for the federal government to adopt re-sponsible management practices that reduce the risk of wildfi res and why it is critical to maintain our roads and bridges. Our leaders on Capitol Hill must also be aware of the need to support our military and veterans and understand the importance of main-taining local control over the services that directly impact the lives of our citi-zens. These are the kinds of issues that we work on at NACo every day and I look forward to making a differ-

ence as we address these and many other issues dur-ing my years as an offi cer in NACo leadership.”

Because NACo lead-ership is structured as a “straight line of succes-sion,” Commissioner Clark will serve a one year term as 2nd Vice President, mov-ing up to 1st Vice President at the NACo conference next summer and will be-come President of NACo in 2015.

“We’re excited to have Sallie representing Colo-rado in NACo leadership,” noted Commissioner Den-nis Hisey, Chair of the El Paso County Board. “There were four good candidates for this important offi ce. Sallie worked hard on her campaign. She had a lot of help and support from commissioners all over Col-orado as well as all over the country who have come to see her as a creative prob-lem solver who will make things happen.”

Commissioner Clark represents El Paso County Commissioner District 3 on the Board of County Com-missioners.

Her district includes all of the Westside of Colorado Springs as well as Manitou Springs and the Ute Pass area extending to the Teller County line. She was ap-pointed last year to serve on the NaCO Board of Direc-tors last year by President Chris Rodgers from Douglas County, Nebraska. She also serves on numerous NACo steering committees and policy groups.

Silver screen possible in gold countryDrive-in movie theater being consideredBy Melena SlavensSpecial to Courier

If you missed Victor’s Gold Rush days last weekend and need an excuse to take the Gold Belt Byway into gorgeous country, visit the Wyatt House and peek into Victor’s potential. Right across the street from the BPO Elk lodge, in a corner of the “Bawdy” part of town, sits a quiet boarding house with friendly neighbors. Built in the early 1890s, the building burned with the busi-ness district in the 1899 Victor fire but was rebuilt and in use through1940.

Jacob M., a shoemaker, advertised his lo-cation on 3rd St in the Denver Post in 1911. He was one of three shoemakers in town at the time, and proved even then, that adver-tising grows business. The Wyatt House’s central location in Victor made it handy for locals and tourists alike. Throughout the years it served the community as a restau-rant, bar, bordello, doctor’s office, antique shop. After World War II, the property sat unused and abandoned for decades, like much of Victor, this building was waiting for the right purpose.

Recently, a woman with a dream sold everything she owned to purchase the building and restore it. Lonessa Wyatt be-gan renovating the property in 2008. Re-placing and rejuvenating everything from the roof down, the property features mod-ern plumbing and electricity, a new roof, a bathroom in each of the 8 units, natu-ral gas heat, gold radiators and renovated stucco with soft brick siding and a common laundry area. Wyatt House is available for monthly rentals and storage.

Lonessa has plans for much more.With her family’s support, Lonessa plans

to keep working and improving the lot. She stays active in the Victor community, coor-dinating community events, working with city council, and helping to preserve the historic heritage. Lest you think the bawdy part of town is still that way, think again- she runs a tight ship and lives on site with her family. Her expansion plans include one day having a drive-in movie theater in the parking lot next door.

Mayor Buck Hakes concurred. He didn’t mention a definite time frame but said long range plans for Victor involve acquiring the building and parking lot next to the Wyatt House and renovate that space to serve as a multi-venue stage for shows, music events, movies, and other art works.

Mayor Hakes, shown with his fellow col-

leagues, expressed an interest in bringing a drive-in to Victor. The city’s bids for the property have not been successful to date.

Would a drive-in theater preserve Vic-tor’s panache for the antique? Heaven knows, drive-in theaters represent a bygone era. A time when folks could afford a night drive, out in the car, dinner and movie for two, and had time and desire to spare with sweethearts and friends. Bringing back that vintage time and values perhaps, could be a community priority.

In the meantime, take an evening stroll through Victor’s main streets. Enjoy the sound of kids playing ball in Gold Bowl Park, crickets chirping in the alleys, and the fresh mountain air in your lungs. If you’d like to see an outdoor film, there isn’t an-other drive-in theater for miles. In fact, Colorado has only seven remaining drive-in theaters at last count. You’d be going to Buena Vista, Pueblo, or Denver if you got

the irresistible urge to visit an old-time pas-sion pit. The mayor’s plan for a multi-venue area might be just the right level of diverse utility the city needs and can get behind to revitalize Victor.

Bluegrass at the Bird well attended By N. W. Oliver Special to Courier

The Thunderbird Inn hosted its 10th annual Bluegrass at the Bird

festival on Friday and Saturday, July 19 and 20.

According to the bar’s owner of 32 years, Russ Howard, the turn-out Friday night was greater than

expected. “The music was great,” he said, “there was no rain and al-most everyone stayed well-after midnight.”

The attendance Saturday was less, at fi rst, but rose to expecta-tions later in the evening.

Patrons of the festival enjoyed games, camping, food and drink

specials, and non-stop perfor-mances by ACME Bluegrass, An-thony Hannigan & Border Drive, Bruce Hayes, Capo Zero, Floris-sant Fossils, Grand Finale with Bruce & Friends and Ron Lynam & Cowtown on two stages.

Constructed in the ‘40s, The Thunderbird Inn has served Tell-

er County in its capacity as a bar since 1953, and features walls of western memorabilia and an out-door lounge area with a stage, bar, and horseshoe pits.

It hosts Open Mike Night ev-ery Thursday, and has live music every Saturday and Sunday night starting at 6 pm.

CASA launches visitation program in Divide By Pat Hill phill@ourcoloradonews.com

For families torn apart by divorce or do-mestic strife a program just launched in Teller County offers support for parents and children in a supervised setting.

A grant-funded program coordinated by Angela Komar, the Supervised and Parent-ing Time is among the services offered by Court Appointed Special Advocate.

For parents caught in the snag of anger or abuse, the program grants opportuni-ties to maintain the emotional bond with the child. “A family comes in and one par-ent sits and spends time with the child for one or two hours a week while a volunteer supervises the visit,” Komar said.

Komar emphasizes that CASA volun-teers do not provide therapy or counsel-ing. “We just want to make sure it’s safe. We’re trained in child development, mental health and substance abuse, domestic vio-lence,” Komar said. “So whatever happens that might be subtle it’s still going to be safe for that child, not impact the child in a neg-ative way.”

While the CASA visitation program has been available in Colorado Springs, Komar recently opened the offi ce in Divide adja-cent to the Community Partnership.

For parents who can’t get past the domes-tic strife, or have restraining orders against them, Komar can arrange the scheduling to separate the parents or guardians. “The goal is to see that the child is not witnessing confl ict,” said Komar, who recently earned a degree in sociology from Colorado Col-lege.

In addition to Komar, the program is run by volunteers who are asked to commit to 12 hours a month. For information about volunteering and training, call Komar at 338-8741 or email angelak@casappr.org.

Summer’s clock is ticking away By Jenette DaPolito special to the Courier

Whether we want to admit it or not, summer is passing quickly. Soon enough, the air will have a crisp chill, aspen leaves will loose their vibrant green as it fades to a bright gold, and the school hallways will once again be bustling with activity.

On a more positive note, it’s still possible to make the most of the warm air, and free time we have left. Woodland Park, is a city that is making constant provi-sions for its citizens to sat-isfy their desire to enjoy the summer and have fun.

Locals take for granted opportunities to see the things right here in our community.

Pikes Peak, for example: most of us see it every day, and yet we fail to realize what an attraction it is. In fact, Pikes Peak is the most visited mountain in North America.

Driving up Pikes Peak highway everyone can gasp in awe at the sights along the way as well as have fun counting up the miles trav-eled until you reach the last mile marker, mile 19. Soon after, you’ll reach the sum-mit. The views are spec-tacular, making for a perfect photograph.

Although the top of Pikes Peak is exciting, along the way is always a place where you can enjoy your day in front of a picturesque view of Pikes Peak. North Slope Recreation Area, is a popu-lar place for fi shing, biking, hiking, boating, picnicking, and taking a leisurely walk with your family . . . includ-ing the dog!

Betty Kuhlman, who works on Pikes Peak said of exploring the mountain “It is a defi nite must, every-

body has to do this at least once in a lifetime but so many end up coming back year after year.”

Another thing to take advantage of is the Cripple Creek Railroad. So much to see and learn about.

“They go through the historical mining district of Cripple Creek, it’s a guided train tour, they learn about the gold mines and the old

prospectors as well as the history of Cripple Creek.” said Helen Fleck an em-ployee of the railroad.

What are the most enjoy-able parts of the 45 minute ride?

“The speeches the engi-neers give, and hearing the whistle blow, and then go-ing up Echo Valley where they can hear the echo of the whistle.” Helen added.

Everyone

seems to enjoy the ride and come away with a plethora of new knowledge.

Nearby the railroad is the Cripple Creek District Museum.

Go, and let yourself be transported to the by-gone days of gold fever, Victorian culture, and a history like no other in the West. Among the things to be seen are a turn of the century Assay Offi ce, exhibits with Vic-torian items, mining ma-chinery and tools, and an accurate representation of life in the Colorado mining camps, just to name a few. The museum is certainly for the whole family, some-thing you all can think back on as one thing that made your summer great.

Mueller State Park is a place for people to enjoy the beauty they’re sur-rounded by daily, but with relaxation and pleasure. There is something for all ages to enjoy.

“We’ve got over 55 miles of hiking trails about 19 al-low bicycles, and 27 allow horses. Our visitors center has a nature display and they have a young natu-ralist program so they can come in and do various ac-tivities and they show fi lms at the visitors center too . . . August 5th, 1991 was the initiation of Mueller State Park, this year will be it’s 22nd anniversary. August the 5th we’re going to cele-

brate Colorado Day and we do not charge a fee for peo-ple to come into the park on that day, it is sort of in rec-ognition of the park being established.” Sharron Cor-

reu, Mueller employee said.Certainly there are many

options left unmentioned. Just these few opportunities help cast light what a fi gura-tive ‘gold mine’ we live in.

If only I were born 100 years ago New centurion commands history, technology through ages By Rob Carrigan rc a r r i g a n @ o u rc o l o ra -donews.com

How many times have you said some-thing like “If only I were born 100 years ago?”Mrs Dorothy King — fer-vent Los Angeles Dodger and LA Laker fan, artist, world traveler, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother — was born more than 100 years ago. And now, she has a lot of things to say about it.King celebrated her 100th birthday recently at the Inn in Palmer Lake. Family and friends fl ew in from all over the country.

To give some perspec-tive, when Dorothy was born in the Van Nuys area of the Los Angeles basin, there

were only 8,000 cars in en-tire United States, and only 144 miles of paved roads. Alabama, Mississippi, Iowa, and Tennessee each were more heavily populated than California, (with 1.4 million residents, California ranked twenty-fi rst in the states at that time.)

Her father, a pioneer in the Van Nuys area, worked as a machinist at an or-gan factory, creating or-gan pipes for theaters showing silent movies.“You know, the organ would play music faster, and fast-er, until the wagon would go over the cliff,” recalled Dorothy.

She remembers going up Hill Street in Los Angles on the street cars to visit her grandmother’s grocery store there. She remembers going to many movies her-self, “It cost 5 or 10 cents then.”

And she remembers the orchards around their house.

“Walnuts, citrus, apri-cots, and there were chick-en ranches.”

Today, the L.A. County

Courthouse Annex is there.She also had to ride the

cable cars into the city to get real silk stockings when they were rationed during the war (World War I and World War II.)

When she was very young, she decided she wanted to be an artist.“There were always movie magazines around, and I started to color them even then.”

Her passion was trans-formed into drawings, and sketches, and later... art training at Frank Wiggins Trade School, and later

still... a job at an agency, tinting sepia-tone prints into color.

All the while, raising a son, and two daughters. Her husband was a butcher, and provided the Van Nuys area the very best in beef (it was coming from Utah, at the time, she recalls), but she found herself widowed at age 57.

“My dad built me a desk in the house.” The house where she continued to tint photographs in days prior Kodachrome, and then re-stored and repaired memo-ries and prints from times past, until her retirement at age 94.

Her father, also lived a long life, traveling around the country, visiting the country’s capital, including the Pentagon, White House, and Smithsonian (where he recognized most of the legacy tools), fi nally passing at 97.

Dorothy enjoys trav-el herself, having seen the sights in Europe, Honk Kong, Hawaiian Islands, though she re-calls and misses the hey-day of commercial fl ight.“They used to dress so well on planes. And the food was good.”

But today, with fi ve grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren, along with the Dodgers and the

Lakers to keep up with, it is sort of hectic.

Especially when the sea-sons overlap.

King was from a creative family. Her father was a machinist who at one time produced pipes for an organ manufacturer dependent on movies in the si-lent � lm era. Later in life, (he lived to 97) he concentrated on wood-working projects such as this piece.

Most of King’s professional life involved art tinting sepia-tone photos with color enhancements. This example of her work features one of her daughters.

Early diagnosis and key treatment for ADHD Easily distracted; talking nonstop and

constantly interrupting; fi dgeting and squirming; behavioral problems and constantly in motion are all hallmarks of an ADHD personality for both children and adults. Attention Defi cit Hyperactiv-ity Disorder can lead to a life of impulsive behavior, low-self esteem, underachieve-ment and marital and relationship discord and discontent.

Early diagnosis and treatment of ADHD is the key to gaining control over this neu-robiological disorder. It appears that help in early detection is on its way.

On July 15th, the Food and Drug Ad-ministration announced it had approved the fi rst brain wave test to help diagnose ADHD in children. According to a New York Times article, the test uses an electro-encephalogram, or EEG, to measure two kinds of brain waves, theta and beta, which are impulses given off by nerve cells in the brain.

The test takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes and can help diagnose a child

with ADHD by analyzing the frequency and combination of those brain impulses. The FDA claims the new device will help doctors make a more accurate and earlier diagnosis than using the existing tradition-al methods alone, which is good news for the 9 percent of children and adolescents and the estimated 8 to 9 million adults suf-fering from the disorder.

The National Institute of Mental Health says that scientists are not sure what causes ADHD, although many studies suggest a strong genetic connection. Re-searchers are also looking at environmen-

tal factors as well as studying what role, if any, brain injuries, and nutrition may play.

A genetic link is suspect due to the results of several international studies of twins that demonstrate the disorder often runs in families. Identifying specifi c genes can possibly help doctors intervene before the onset of symptoms, which usually oc-curs between the ages of 3 and 6 years-old.

A potential environmental link has been established between cigarette smoking and alcohol use during pregnancy. Exposure to lead found in paint and plumbing of older buildings also exposes preschoolers to a higher risk.

Although a small percentage of ADHD children have had traumatic brain injures, there doesn’t seem to be a direct correla-tion. However, children who have suffered a brain injury may exhibit ADHD-like behaviors.

And the idea that refi ned sugar and food additives are culprits, although quite pop-ular, fails the test of independent research. There are no studies that defi nitively show

food additives cause ADHD and there’s more research that discredits the impact of sugar than supports it.

There is no cure for ADHD but, when properly diagnosed, the disorder can be well managed leading to signifi cant im-provement in daily functioning.

The fi rst step in getting help is an accu-rate diagnosis by a qualifi ed mental health care professional or physician who gathers information from multiple sources. Clini-cal guidelines for diagnosis are provided by the American Psychiatric Association and look at the symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity.

The number, severity and duration of symptoms and the degree to which these symptoms impair one’s life are the ultimate criteria for a diagnosis.

Conductors get asked most interesting questions As my job on the mountain is probably

the most inspiration for this column, I like this next tale.

In the old days a passenger train had several conductors. The one that was in the Pullman Sleeping Cars served only those passengers. He manned his equipment, which, even on the Santa Fe might be only one or two cars, with maybe twenty pas-sengers. The passengers were mainly east-erners, taking their fi rst trip into the west.

The experience raised their curiosity. The conductor served as an “Answer Man”. The temperament of these men was of primary importance. On a trip one might fi eld some pretty unusual questions, I

know I do!On a trip south from Denver a conduc-

tor was resting, having checked all of his passengers comfort. He had a spot in a

far corner of the car where he could even catch a nap. He had just dozed off when a touch on his shoulder raised him. It was a very nervous lady.

“Say, Mr. Conductor, my ticket says that I am to have up to two hundred pounds of baggage and my trunk does not weigh more than one hundred and twenty fi ve,” the lady said. “What am I to do about it?”

“Madam’” replied the accommodating conductor, “we will be arriving at Colo-rado Springs in a few minutes and you can gather seventy fi ve pounds of stone to fi ll it up.”

The problem was important. In old newspapers every year there was an article

directed to the public to not make too much fun of the silly things tourists do. Now this was a hundred years ago! They pointed out, even then, that the tourists were bringing important money into our communities.

On Pikes Peak I get odd questions, and I have to think before answering some of them. A couple of my recent “good” ones are: “Why are there no pine cones up here?” “Do the people who drive up the mountain come up to the same top?”, another is when they see Woodland Park, and ask “Is that Denver?” this year we have not had many clear days, so Denver has not been seen very often.

Vino & Notes presents 6th annual festivalBy Pat Hillphill@ourcoloradonews.com

In a weekend of festivals and critters, Vino & Notes Food, Wine and Jazz Festival adds spice to the line-up. In its sixth an-nual year, the festival, founded by Ben and Jamie Caperton, presents another option for locals and tourists alike.

With 20 varieties of Colorado wines, two jazz bands, Max Wagner and Louis Colaiannia, and 51 vendors, Vino & Notes puts the spotlight on Memorial Park. The 3 ½-acre park is the subject of a visioning exercise by the residents of Woodland Park and Land Patterns, Inc.

“The park is a beautiful setting and ev-ery vendor has a view of Pikes Peak,” said Ben Caperton.

The festival is about drinking wine, eat-ing good food and listening to great jazz, he added.

The festival is from 12 to 6 p.m. Aug. 3 in Memorial Park. Tickets are $25 for adults and $20 for people who represent the military, police and fire departments and emergency medical technicians.

Tickets are available at the Cellar Door in Woodland Park, at www.vinoandnotes.com/get-tickets or by calling 686-1409. The festival benefits local charities.

The annual Woodland Park festival, Vino & Notes, attracts people from across the U.S. and this year, Canada. Pictured are four happy wine connoisseurs at last year’s festival. Courtesy photo

Peruvians look to florissant for guidanceBy Pat Hillphill@ourcoloradonews.com

In a village of 300 people the discovery of an ancient petrified forest resounds like silent thunder from the earth, for the villagers as well as scientists across the globe.

The forest, formed 39 million years ago as the result of volca-nic eruptions, is a gift that bears responsibility as well as opportu-nity for the people of Sexi, Peru. “The site only came to be known to scientists in the early 1990s,” said Herb Meyer, Ph.D. and pale-ontologist with Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument. “It’s a very diverse site as far as petrified-wood sites in the world.”

Meyer and Deborah Wood-cock, Ph.D., paleo-climatologist with Clark University in Massa-chusetts, were hosts this month to Diana Pajuelo Aparicio, a geolo-gist, and Santiago Asenjo Davila, village native and accountant who now lives in Lima, Peru.

The two Peruvians were in Flo-rissant to learn how to help Sexi benefit from the discovery yet

maintain the integrity of the site, which is protected by the national government.

The Friends of the Fossil Beds, whose members are partners in the project, funded the visitors’ travel expenses.

For the scientists, the discovery at El Bosque Petrificado Piedra Chamana offers a wealth of in-formation; for Meyer, it’s the op-portunity to study 25 leaf fossils, for Woodcock, it’s the 30 various kinds of wood.

As the fossil beds attract tour-ists from around the nation, the Americans hope to help the vil-lagers promote geo-tourism to the forest. However, the traps are obvious.

“As people become more aware of it, fossils start to disappear,” Meyer said. “Sexi is a very poor vil-lage where the economy is based one chicken and eggs, very basic subsistence.”

But for Asenjo, who at times is emotional over the poverty and challenges faced by his people, the fossils could be a pathway to something previously unreach-

able.“There is no opportunity for

the people of Sexi; there is no work, the schools aren’t very good, health care is not good,” said Woodcock, translating for Asenjo. “Everybody leaves, so the idea that we could do anything that would make the economy strong is exciting.”

Asenjo is crossed by concern

yet enticed by the possibilities. “His family tries to get him to rest and not worry about Sexi,” Wood-cock said.

In visiting the fossil beds, as well as other sites in Colorado, the Peruvians hope to help the villagers form a group like the “Friends,” and amplify auxiliary opportunities for tourists, such as burro rides to view the Continen-tal Divide from the top of a moun-tain.

For Pajuelo, who works with an INGEMETT, which is comparable to the USGS, the visit has been an eye-opener. “I have seen what you can do with geology. In Peru we write papers and investigate sites but we are missing communica-tion with the public,” she said. “In Florissant they tell how the fossils are formed. If you show people

with pictures they will see the im-portance of that bone, or that hill, for instance.”

Developing geo-tourism is comprehensive, she said. “Yes, you have technology but I have seen the imagination to create geological evolution in a good way.”

Woodcock and Meyer have explored the forest several times, with an eye on the science as well as the human aspect of the discov-ery.

“Our concerns are in helping them develop this very impor-tant site in a way that benefits the economy of the small village,” Meyer said. “The mission of the National Park Service is to ex-tend the benefits of conservation throughout the world, not just in the United States.”

Diana Pajuelo Aparicio and Santiago Asnjo Davila, geologist and accountant from Lima, Peru, spent a week in Colorado as guests of scientists at Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument. The two are pictured at the Cripple Creek & Victor Mining Co. where they are taking notes to take back to the villages in Sexi, Peru, where fossils from a petrified forest were recently discovered.

Community pays tribute to Coach DBy Pat Hill phill@ourcoloradonews.com

A grand day to celebrate the life and friendship of the late Rich Dispenza, aka “Coach D,” Woodland Park High School students, parents and friends honored their friend and mentor with a golf tournament and luncheon at the middle school July 27.

Jedd Hafer, who worked with Coach D at the former Children’s Ark, highlighted the coach’s characteristics embodied in the two recipients of the Coach D “Making a Differ-ence” Scholarship Program.

“It’s so neat that Coach’s legacy is help-ing other people continue their education and build themselves up as members of our community,” Hafer said.

Of courage, Hafer said, “I saw kids abso-lutely stretched out of their comfort zones and perform in front of a group while learn-

ing a little bit about courage.”As Coach D inspired, was determined

and full of ambition, so, too, are the recipi-ents of the $1,000 scholarship: Louie Neil in 2012 and Jacob Censner in 2013.

With funds from the golf tournament as well as from the handmade knitted works done by Dispenza’s 97-year-old mother, the committee hopes to increase the amount of the scholarship.

The scholarship project is the result of the commitment of Dispenza’s friends, Neil and Paula Levy, with help from community volunteers.

“The scholarships will be awarded to kids who live their life the same way that Coach D did,” said Neil Levy.

As any tribute to Dispenza includes his favorite phrase, so, too did the celebration in July. “Remember, you know who loves you.”

Woodland Park goes 1-2 in tournamentEight teams converged on Woodland Park last weekBy Danny SummersDsummers@ourcoloradonews.com

Woodland Park baseball manager Cliff Richardson and his Mudville Nine wish the results from last week’s American Legion “B” state tournament were a little different. Hoisting the championship trophy would have been nice, but the fact that they con-tinue to improve is reason to be excited.

“We’re absolutely looking toward the future,” Richardson said. “If you count last year’s legion state tournament, and the high school state playoffs in the spring, we’ve made the postseason three straight times. And we’re showing improvement each time.”

Woodland Park was the No. 5 seed and went 1-2 in this year’s double-elimination state tournament that was played at Mead-ow Wood Park. It defeated No. 4 Fort Mor-gan, 12-4, on July 25. Woodland Park was eliminated after consecutive losses to Lib-erty, 11-2 on July 26, and Kennedy, 10-8 on July 27.

Woodland Park went winless in the 2012 legion state tournament.

“This is a great tournament,” said Rich-ardson, whose team went 11-7 this sum-mer. “We get to see teams we don’t normally see. There was a lot of quality competition.”

The eight-team tournament was orga-nized and run by tournament chairman Dave Turley, who also doubles as Woodland Park’s mayor. Richardson was his No. 1 as-sistant and go-to guy.

Members from the Woodland Park American Legion Post 1980 helped with ticket and concession sales, as well as orga-nizing the event. Other local people volun-teered their time to work on the field before, during and after games.

“The level of play was amazing,” Turley said. “Just great games all around. This has been an amazing tournament with great skills and sportsmanship displayed by ev-

eryone.”Liberty won the tournament on July 28

with a dramatic 10-9, eight-inning victory over Mead. Regulation games were seven innings.

The festivities kicked off July 24 with a pre-tournament coach/umpire banquet July 24 at the Swiss Chalet restaurant in Woodland Park. It included a salad, Asian beef skewers and wild rice.

The dinner was supported by Neil Levy, owner of the Swiss Chalet. Levy’s son, Sam, plays on the Woodland Park American Le-gion “D” seventh and eighth grade team. His older son, Max, was a team captain and top player on last year’s Woodland Park baseball team.

Opening ceremonies were just prior to the July 25 first game between Woodland Park and Fort Morgan.

“It was nice getting underclassmen in-volved at the varsity level,” said Woodland Park senior catcher Logan Watters, the team’s top hitter. “That will definitely help us out during the regular season.”

American Legion baseball started in 1925 and is the oldest, and most respected, nationwide baseball program. Each year, nearly 5,400 teams with 100,000 young men participate in American Legion Baseball through American Legion Post sponsorship in all 50 states and Puerto Rico.

Since its inception, the league has had 10 million players, and nearly 60 percent of current college players are program gradu-ates.

In all, more than 60 program graduates are in the Baseball Hall of Fame. They in-clude Yogi Berra, who played for Fred W. Stockholm Post 245 in St. Louis, Ted Wil-liams, who suited up for a post in San Di-ego, and Frank Robinson, who played for an Oakland post.

Current New York Yankees slugger Mark Teixeira played in the league’s 1997 World Series. Other prominent players include Bob Feller, Ryne Sandberg, Roy Campanel-la, Dusty Baker, Albert Pujols, Greg Maddux and Chipper Jones.

Babe Ruth spent the final years of his life promoting the program as its director of operations.

Woodland Park senior right-hander Kayden Osborn delivers a pitch against Liberty on July 26 during the American Legion “B” varsity tournament at Meadow Wood Park. Liberty won the game 11-2.

Woodland Park senior Logan Watters emerged as the team’s top catcher this summer. Watters, who is also an outfielder, is expected to handle the regular catching chores for the team next spring.

Mountain Top Cycling Club making plans for 2014By Deborah Maresca

Victor Gold Rush Days was July 21. They held their First Annual Golden Cycle Citizen Bike Race at 1 p.m. in Victor.

Nine cyclists competed on a three-mile Mountain Bike course that the cyclist did three laps. It was very challenging.

David Kriegshauser, president of the Mountain Top Cycling Club, won first place with a time of 38 min-utes, with fellow club rider Trent Lanning coming in second place. Ann Whipple, representing Mountain Top, won the women’s division. Trophies and some cash prizes were given out to the top cyclists.

The Mountain Top Cy-cling Club was in Victor working out the details for a Youth Mountain Bike Camp in May 2014. It would be a two day camp that would include lodging, three meals, two mountain bike ride/clinics and two team

building clinics to kick off the 2014 Mountain Bike Season.

This camp is located at the Rocky Mountain Soc-cer Camp in Victor. You can visit their web site at http://www.rockymountainsoc-cercamp.com/.

Mark Perdew, a certified training coach and camp director, will be working with the Mountain Top Cy-cling Club to put this camp together.

This camp will be for boys or girls ages 11 to 18. Usually these training camps cost between $300 and $900, but we are work-ing on getting the whole package for $99 to $129.

The Mountain Top Cy-cling Club, a 501(c) 3 or-ganization, is going to fo-cus on putting more High School Mountain Bike Teams together from Teller County and surrounding areas. These teams will compete in NICA (National

Interscholastic Cycling As-sociation) Races.

These teams will be among the recipients of the funds raised by the Moun-tain Top Experience Ride June 21, 2014.

The Mountain Top Cy-cling Club is looking for mountain bike donations that can be given to kids that do not have mountain bikes. If you have a moun-tain bike that is in good shape, that is sitting in the garage or if you simply have too many, now is the time to put those bikes to good use. We will be rolling out a pro-gram in the near future as the kids start back to school. There are a limited number of registration spots avail-able for this camp.

We will post more infor-mation as it become avail-able at http://www.moun-taintopcyclingclub.com/. For more information call Debbie Maresca 719-687-2489.

Wine tasting to benefit animal SanctuaryFunds needed to help with everyday animal care, animal medical fund and equipment replacementBy Lisa Collacottlcollacott@ourcoloradonews.com

The Black Forest Animal Sanctuary is dedicated to helping animals that have been abused, neglected or that are no longer wanted.

It costs a lot of money to feed and treat the animals medically. The ani-mal sanctuary is hosting their annual wine tasting fundraiser in the hopes of raising $5,000 - $10,000. Last year the event brought in approximately $3,500

but this year the sanctuary spent more than $10,000 when it rescued animals during the Black Forest Fire.

Tracy Van Pelt, owner of BFAS, said during the fire they housed many ani-mals that were recovering from burn injuries. Many animals were left be-hind because their owners had to flee the fire quickly and didn’t have time to get them or they were not home and couldn’t get back into Black Forest. Van Pelt said they rescued approxi-mately 1,000 animals.

BFAS volunteers even rescued ani-mals during the night.

The fundraiser was already planned to help the sanctuary with everyday costs but after the fire they will also need money for the animal medical fund and for equipment replacement

for the rescue teams. BFAS is made up of strictly volunteers.

“We’d really like to get everything ready for the next major disaster,” Van Pelt said.

Van Pelt said the fundraiser is not only helping the sanctuary but the Black Forest Fire victims and their ani-mals as well.
