Currently in the care of Animal Medical Clinic of Wood- land Park, Brutus the Great Dane and his late owner, Larry Class, 72, arrived on the door step of the clinic in October 2012. Homeless and in need of medical attention for Brutus, Class heard about the good hearts at the clinic. Word gets around in a small town. “Brutus’s leg was swollen, he had a huge bladder prob- lem and it took three of us to get him out of the van,” said Terri Collins, who owns the clinic. “Brutus got hit by a car, on purpose, in a campground in Santa Fe.” The two were on the last leg of a road trip from New Orleans where Class eked out subsistence after Hurricane Katrina destroyed his place of employment in a shelter run by a church. In addition to being destitute and suffering the effects of a stroke, Class was grieving the death of his 20-year-old son. Rather whim or destiny, he and Brutus headed for Woodland Park in the van. In a time when many are on the brink of losing it all, when survival can depend upon a spot of luck, the pair touched an emotional chord in Collins and David Volz, DVM. While Volz repaired the dog’s leg and handled other medical problems, Collins offered Brutus a place to re- cover at the clinic. “Larry would come every day and sit with the dog for two hours,” Collins said. Class, however, in addition to being homeless, was fac- ing terminal illness. As Brutus recovered, Collins found temporary housing, eventually arranging for the two to live in a 5th Wheel trailer in Woodland Park. “We arranged to have nurses there and one of the men in the trailer park was with Larry 24/7,” Collins said, add- ing that she visited nearly every day. Donna Zinko was in the waiting room the day Class and Brutus arrived at the clinic. “We chatted awhile,” Zinko said. Another rescue angel, Zinko, bought groceries, helped pay expenses and took Class to his doctor appointments in Colorado Springs. “Larry was engaging, was quite a conversationalist,” Zinko said. “He could be ornery and was kind of a tease. He was very personable and we all enjoyed him.” As death came nearer for Class, his neighbor at the trailer park, James Singleton, stayed with his new friend until he died from complications of COPD, lung and prostate cancer Dec. 8. “Larry just had a personality; when he moved in he came over and brought me a box of food that he’d gotten from the Teller Senior Coalition,” Singleton said. “I told him I’d be with him until the end.” Brutus, the eight-year-old Great Dane, needs a home. He is currently hang- ing out at Animal Clinic of Woodland Park, with Terri Collins and David Volz, DVM.

Next year, with the ex- pansion of Medicaid in Colorado, a provision of the Affordable Care Act, Peak Vista expects to serve more clients. “There are many people currently be- ing served under a sliding scale who will be eligible for the Medicaid benefit,” Mc- Manus said. “Our staff has been trained and is working very hard in making sure that people understand what their options are.” Colorado is one of 29 states as of December that agreed to the Medicaid ex- pansion which is funded entirely by the federal gov- ernment for the first three years.

For a single person, the poverty level is $11,500 and $23,500 for a family of four. For patients with an annual income from 133 to 200 percent of poverty, federal subsidies are avail- able. “After 200 percent, the marketplace is available,” McManus said. “I think for Peak Vista our priority is making sure people under- stand what’s available, and what their choices are.” With the additional ad- ministrative costs associ- ated with helping people enroll in the marketplace, Peak Vista was recently awarded a $25,000 grant from Health Resource and Services Administration. Weeks before the dead- line of Dec. 23, 4,000 Peak Vista clients had signed on either to the marketplace exchange or the Medic- aid expansion. “I’m pretty impressed that our state decided to implement our own program,” McManus said, referring to the state’s online health-care ex- change. Despite the deadline, people can sign up for Med- icaid any time. “That’s im- portant for people to know; they still need to come in and see what options they have,” she said. In a confusing time for many when it comes to exchanges and Medicaid, McManus concentrates on the positive feedback, the gratitude expressed by many who today have ac- cess to health care. “A lady stopped by the other day to thank me - she had referred a friend who was having a hard time understand- ing the changes,” she said. Consequently, a certified Peak Vista enrollment spe- cialist helped the man sign on for health insurance. A nonprofit organiza- tion, Peak Vista provided $15 million worth of charity care for people in El Paso and Teller counties. “That’s why we’re here; when some- one comes in and pays us a $10 co-pay, that obviously doesn’t cover the cost,” she said. “We do charge based on a sliding scale and their ability to pay.” This month, Peak Vista received a $57,506 grant from the Limited Gam- ing Impact Fund. “I’d like to thank the Teller County commissioners for their support,” she said.

POSTAL ADDRESS

Wanted: Good home for BrutusBy Pat [email protected]

He’s big, loving, laid back and in need of a good home. Currently in the care of Animal Medical Clinic of Wood-land Park, Brutus the Great Dane and his late owner, Larry Class, 72, arrived on the door step of the clinic in October 2012.

Homeless and in need of medical attention for Brutus, Class heard about the good hearts at the clinic. Word gets around in a small town.

“Brutus’s leg was swollen, he had a huge bladder prob-lem and it took three of us to get him out of the van,” said Terri Collins, who owns the clinic. “Brutus got hit by a car, on purpose, in a campground in Santa Fe.”

The two were on the last leg of a road trip from New Orleans where Class eked out subsistence after Hurricane Katrina destroyed his place of employment in a shelter run by a church.

In addition to being destitute and suffering the effects of a stroke, Class was grieving the death of his 20-year-old son. Rather whim or destiny, he and Brutus headed for Woodland Park in the van.

In a time when many are on the brink of losing it all, when survival can depend upon a spot of luck, the pair touched an emotional chord in Collins and David Volz, DVM.

While Volz repaired the dog’s leg and handled other medical problems, Collins offered Brutus a place to re-cover at the clinic. “Larry would come every day and sit with the dog for two hours,” Collins said.

Class, however, in addition to being homeless, was fac-ing terminal illness. As Brutus recovered, Collins found temporary housing, eventually arranging for the two to live in a 5th Wheel trailer in Woodland Park.

Gateway students spread holiday cheerBy Pat [email protected]

Members of the Woodland Park Senior Citizens Club enjoyed a holiday meal of

turkey and all the trimmings Dec. 16. As an added bonus, the seniors enjoyed enter-tainment by the music students of Gateway Elementary School, who sang Christmas carols — and enjoyed performing.

Sumner wins photo contest

Bonnie Sumner, who is known more for her work with neighborhood fire-mitigation efforts, won the photo contest sponsored by Mueller State Park. En-trants were asked to pho-tograph scenes in the park during fall 2013. Sumner won a $50 gift certificate in the park’s gift shop. Bonnie Sumner of Woodland Park won the Fall 2013 Photo-Out Contest which

judged photos taken in Mueller State Park. Lenore Hotchkiss, a professional photographer and Teller County resident, selected the photo titled “Lost Pond and Aspens.” Sumner took the photo Oct. 13. Courtesy photo by Bonnie Sumner

Soon, because of the Christmas season, ministers everywhere will proclaim “there was no room for Him in the Inn.” Have you ever wondered why so many do not believe in Jesus, God’s only Son? When the religious leaders and people of Jesus’ day “received Him not,” he spoke of the true reason for disbelief in Him, “you have no room for my word in your heart…you belong to your fa-ther the devil” (Jn 8:37, 44). Unless you truly desire to seek the truth that comes from above, you will never have room for Him in the “Inn” of your heart. If you seek, He promises you will find.

God’s Message brings Hope, Joy, Love, and Life!

City receives $497,713 in transportation grants Honors Ed Arden for 22 years, extends agreement with clinic By Sonja Oliver Contributing writer

At their council meeting held on Dec. 18, the City of Cripple Creek approved three CDOT Division of Transit and Rail’s FASTER grant-funded projects, giving the go-ahed for the purchase of a new trol-ley, shop equipment and bus shelters and funds for administration and operating costs.

FASTER (Funding Advancement for Surface Transportation & Economic Recov-ery) and Federal Transportation Adminis-tration (FTA) award funds to state and lo-cal agencies for transit projects. Funds are typically awarded every two years for capi-tal or operating projects.

Operating within the U.S. Department of Transportation, FTA provides grants to help plan, build, and operate transit sys-tems with FTA providing funding for rural public transportation.

FASTER funds 80% of each project, with the local entity supplying the remaining 20 percent.

“The evaluating criteria included proj-ect necessity and fi nancial need, its readi-ness, how well it’ll improve mobility and if the project remains viable over the long-term,” said CDOT Division of Transit and Rail Director Mark Imhoff in a statement

about the program on CDOT’s website.Cripple Creek Transportation Manager

Ted Schweitzer initiated and submitted the grants to CDOT and was successful in re-ceiving the awards.

Each of the projects will be funded by FASTER to the tune of 80 percent, with the city putting up the remaining 20 percent - for which the city has the funding, accord-ing to City Administrator Ray White and Finance Director Paul Harris. The amount of the grant monies to be received received from CDOT for the purchase of the trol-ley is $176,000 with the city’s portion to be $44,000 for a total of $220,000.

The trolley to be purchased will seat 32 passengers and have a low fl oor to accom-modate the disabled. It will also include safety features such as a back up monitor and a security camera system.

The second of the three grants provides for the purchase of maintenance and re-pair equipment and four bus stop shelters to “support the public transportation ser-vice within the City of Cripple Creek Ser-vice area.”

The city’s public transit through their shuttle service is a “demand response” for resident workers, school children and visi-tors to Cripple Creek and Victor.

According to grant documentation esti-mations, the city will provide 66,000 one-way passenger trips per year at an estimat-ed operating and administrative cost of $4.02 per one-way passenger trip, plus an estimated $2.62 per mile and an estimated cost of $25.43 per vehicle hour.

The total amount of the project will cost $258,016 with CDOT’s contribution of $206,413 and the city’s 20 percent at $51,603.

The use of these funds will purchase and install bus shelters to be located at Bennett Ave. (in front of City hall), 5th St. (informa-tion rail car), Carr St. (Post Offi ce) and in Victor at a to-be-determined location. The shelters will feature a concrete pad, side-walk, shelter, solar lighting, bench, bike rack and signage.

The third grant approved by council is a combined CDOT/FTA grant for admin-istrative and operating funding for expen-ditures during the 2014 calendar year. The total amount of the budget is $115,000 with $39,000 from FTA’s federal share, $9,750 from the city and the remainder from CDOT.

Members of the council thanked Sch-weitzer for his efforts and success in re-ceiving the grants.

The council also approved the construc-tion of a three-sided, 30 ft. by 130 ft. pole barn to house the city’s shuttles and Pub-lic Works equipment. The contract is for $45,872 with Dreams Carport and Build-ing, Inc. Plans to upgrade and enclose the facility will come at a later date. Excavation will be done by Dirt Cheap Excavating for $6,500.

Council recognizes Ed ArdenPublic Works employee Ed Arden was

recognized for his “dedicated and loyal service” by the council via Resolution No. 2013-15. Arden was a heavy equipment

mechanic with the city for 22 years and six months.

“WHERAS, Ed has met the challenges of keeping the city’s fl eet in good operat-ing order as well as major participant in all fi eld operations... the City of Cripple Creek acknowledges and appreciates Ed Arden’s dedicated service and wishes him and his family well on his retirement.”

Centura Health clinic operat-ing agreement extended for 1 year.The council approved an addendum to the Clinic Operating Agreement between Catholic Health Initiatives Colorado do-ing business as Centura Health-Penrose St. Francis Health Services and the City of Cripple Creek to extend their term of agreement for one year from Jan 1, 2014 till Dec. 31, 2014.

According to administrator Ray White, the arrangement to have health and ur-gent care services has saved the city over $100,000 over the past year “a positive thing for the community.”

Vacation of alleyA “fi rst reading” of an ordinance to

vacate the alley behind the Palace Hotel owned by Century Casino was amended and approved by council. At the sugges-tion of City Attorney Lee Phillips, the city need a “defi ned start and fi nish date” for the vacation of the property in order to protect the city’s interest. The amendment gives the casino four years to come up with construction plans for a project not yet de-termined.

GMF inches closer to town manager

By Pat Hill [email protected]

In another cliffhanger, the Green Mountain Falls’ board of trustees moved closer to hiring Rob McArthur as the fi rst town manager. In the last meeting of the year Dec. 17, the board approved the fi rst reading of an ordi-nance establishing the position, in-cluding the roles and responsibilities of a town manager. That was the fi rst step.

In a public hearing, Chris Fran-dina, town clerk and recorder, spoke as a resident. “I see a town manager as a tremendous administrative tool; it’s happening in all small towns,” she said. “Sam Mamet (executive director of the Colorado Municipal League) told us we need a town manager, that

we are broken now.”Frandina was referring to the fric-

tion between fi ve members of the board and Mayor Lorrie Worthey. That friction played into the drive to estab-lish the position of a town manager. Trustees Jane Newberry and Margaret Peterson highlighted the current hos-tile working environment in the town.

To a suggestion that establishing the position is a quest for power, Fran-dina balked. “Power doesn’t enter into the vocabulary here. We are stewards of Green Mountain Falls and we’ve gotten off-track,” she said.

In a room not quite as packed as in previous meetings, several residents spoke in favor of establishing the po-sition. When it came time to vote, the mayor and trustee Tyler Stevens voted no. But the motion carried with the “aye” votes of trustees Mac Pitrone,

Ralph LoCascio, Newberry and Peter-son.

Newberry read a letter of support from trustee Howard Price, who is ill. “Rob understands the operations of our town and is probably personally responsible for writing the grants that have been awarded to us for the past several years,” Price wrote. As well, 42 residents wrote letters recommending that McArthur be appointed.

Next up was the vote to appoint McArthur to fi ll the new position.

Again, the four trustees carried the vote while the mayor and Stevens vot-ed no. However, the appointment is contingent upon the ordinance pass-ing the second reading Jan. 7.

As well, the board hit some snags on refi ning the language of McArthur’s contract. The fi nal version is expected to be presented in January.

7 Things You Must Know Before Putting Your Home Up for SaleWoodland Park – A new report has just been released which reveals 7 costly mistakes that most homeown-ers make when selling their home, and a 9 Step System that can help you sell your home fast and for the most amount of money.

This industry report shows clearly how the traditional ways of selling homes have become increasingly less and less effective in today’s mar-ket. The fact of the matter is that fully three quarters of home sellers don’t get what they want for their homes and become disillusioned and – worse – financially disadvantaged when the put their homes on the market.

As the report uncovers, most home

sellers make 7 deadly mistakes that

cost them literally thousands of dol-

lars. The good news is that each and

every one of these mistakes is entirely

preventable. In answer to this issue,

industry insiders have prepared a free

special report entitled “The 9 Step Sys-

tem to Get Your Home Sold Fast and

For Top Dollar”.

As part of the City For Cham-pions project, the Air Force Academy will get funding for a new visitor center.

But when or exactly where it will be constructed won’t be deter-mined until at least early next year.

Academy spokesman David Cannon said on Dec. 18 that the Air Force’s Finan-cial Management Center of Expertise in Denver will perform a study over the next month that will help to determine where the next facility should be built.

“Once the study is complete it will be presented to Academy Superintendent Lt. General Michelle D. Johnson for her review,” Cannon said.

The current visitor center, which is named after former Arizona senator and Presidential candidate Barry Goldwater, is located near the famed Academy Chapel. The visitor center is about 32,000 square feet and includes a theater and exhibit area, gift shop and small restaurant.

The center was built with donated and borrowed funds totaling $4.5 million. The private organizations which donated the building named it honor of Goldwater. The facility opened its doors in June 1986.

Funding for the new visitor center from the City For Champions project will be spread out over 30 years. The Academy is expected to receive about $200,000 to $220,000 every year for 30 years, accord-ing to Cannon. That grand total would be between $6 and 8 million.

Cannon does not have exact figures, but estimates are that a new visitor center would cost “$20 to $25 million.”

“People ask me all the time ‘Where would that money come from?’” Cannon said. “The likelihood of getting a military contract project through Congress is not very high. We will have to look at donors to offset the costs.”

The Academy has up to five years to

break ground on the new facility, Cannon said. But he added that he does not expect the process to take that long.

“It could be two years, it could be three years, we’re not sure,” Cannon said.

According to statistics from the Colo-rado Springs Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Academy’s visitor center and chapel is the No. 1 man-made attraction in Colorado Springs. That is the case despite the fact that visitors have to travel about five miles by car off Interstate 25 into the cadet area to reach the attractions.

The City for Champions proposal calls for the new “Air Force Academy Gateway at Falcon Stadium Visitors Center” to be located at the nexus of visitor destina-tions on the Academy campus, adjacent to Falcon Stadium, with a renewed focus on visitor engagement.

The Gateway at Falcon Stadium Visi-tors Center component will be part of the overall master-planned Gateway at Falcon Stadium, and will be the first stop in a visi-tor’s journey through the Academy.

The new facility would be about 32,000-square-feet and will be home to the Academy’s museum and athletic hall of fame. The Gateway at Falcon Stadium will serve as the starting point for Acad-emy Tours, circulator bus connections to the Academy campus, and for access to a myriad of Pikes Peak region activities.

The Gateway at Falcon Stadium Visitors Center will be the cornerstone to the over-all experience.

“We want it to be an eye-popping struc-ture that would attract people,” Cannon said. “We would hope to entice people to leave the interstate and head to the visitor center.”

According to the City for Champions web site, the Academy was once a top tourist destination in the state. But after Sept. 11, 2001, Academy visitors decreased dramatically, from 700,000 annually to a mere 200,000 because of the necessary security for the campus becoming more important than visitor access.

The 31,600-square-foot building contains exhibits, a snack bar and a gift shop. A one-third-mile paved nature trail east of the facility allows visitors to walk to the Cadet Chapel. Photos by Rob Carrigan

6-Opinion

Christmas movies, NORAD and St. NickOn Christmas Eve, NBC will once again

televise the classic movie “It’s a Wonderful Life.”

Set in the fictional town of Bedford Falls, George Bailey, played by James Stewart, learns a valuable lesson when he discovers what life would be like had he never been born.

The climactic ending to the film will leave you sobbing and smiling.

It’s a Wonderful Life is one of many Christmas-themed movies. Some of my other favorites are “The Nativity Story” (2007) and “Scrooge” (the 1970 Albert Finney version). If you’re not feeling good at the end of those movies then you just don’t have a heart.

Even though I am long past my Santa Claus stage, there are many movies about the Man in Red that are near and dear to my heart. As a child, and still today, I make it a point to watch the animated classics “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” (featur-ing the voice of Fred Astaire), “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” “Frosty the Snowman,” “The Year Without a Santa Claus,” “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” and “The Little Drummer Boy.”

Those movies were all made between 40 and 50 years ago, but have held up very well. They are regularly shown on broad-cast television and delight kids as much today as when we were little tykes.

I really enjoy the three Tim Allen “Santa Clause” movies. The whole notion that Santa just might be a real person and have a fantastic toy shop at the North Pole and fly around the world in a sleigh with Dasher and Prancer and the bunch makes my heart warm. I know I can’t be the only one who feels this way. It’s time for every one of you to fess up and admit you like the idea as well.

In a sense, old St. Nick has his head-quarters right here in the Pikes Peak region. Since 1955, NORAD, otherwise known as the North American Aerospace Defense Command, has been tracking Santa as he leaves the North Pole and trav-els the earth on Christmas Eve delivering toys to all of the nice boys and girls of the world (and presumably filling the stock-ings of those who are naughty with lumps of coal).

The program is in the tradition of the

September 1897 editorial “Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus,” which first ap-peared in the New York Sun newspaper.

According to NORAD, the program began on Dec. 24, 1955, when a Sears, Roebuck and Company department store placed an advertisement in a Colorado Springs newspaper (likely The Gazette-Telegraph) which informed children they could telephone Santa Claus. “Call me on my private phone and I will talk to you personally any time day or night,” Santa told children in the ad. The ad included a number that children could call.

However, the telephone number print-ed was incorrect and calls instead went through to Colorado Springs’ Continental Air Defense Command (CONAD) Center.

As the legend goes, Colonel Harry Shoup, who was on duty that night, was not amused when he got his first call. In-stead of a report of a Soviet attack, he got a six-year old boy telling him he wanted a fire engine truck and a baseball bat under his tree for Christmas.

After the second boy called Shoup fig-ured something was up so he told his staff to start giving Santa’s polar coordinates to every child calling that line.

A tradition began that night and continued when the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) replaced CONAD in 1958. A new phone

number, other than the RED hotline phone, was given out to children to call and track Santa.

Today, NORAD relies on a team of volunteers to make the program possible. Each volunteer handles about 40 tele-phone calls per hour, and the team typi-cally handles more than 12,000 e-mails and more than 70,000 telephone calls from more than 200 countries and ter-ritories. NORAD reports that most of these contacts happen during the 25 hours from 2 a.m. on Dec. 24 until 3 a.m. on Dec. 25.

The “NORAD Tracks Santa” program has been popular since its inception. From the 1950s to 1996, folks could track Santa through the telephone hotline, newspapers, radio, phonograph records and television.

Many television newscasts today fea-ture NORAD Tracks Santa as part of their weather updates on Christmas Eve.

Santa entered the Internet age in 1997. Today, folks can follow Santa streaking across the sky on their mobile devices and though social media.

Shoup died in 2009 at the age of 91, but he will be remembered by his peers and the public as the “Santa Colonel” who gave a special gift to millions of kids.

And as the late Paul Harvey would say, “now you know the rest of the story.”

A mountain tripI have seen some interesting discus-

sions at the top of Pikes Peak concerning people who drove up but refused to go back down the road. Could they get a ride down on the train?

Indeed, I have seen people go so far as leave their vehicles on the summit, having someone else go get it! Normally it is a wife, or husband, that needs to go down other than the road. How was it done a hundred years ago?

I found this story in a 1909 Cripple Creek newspaper.

Rocky Mountain roads are readily con-ceded by those who travel on them to any great extent, to be exceedingly difficult on any vehicle, as well as on the patience of the person going over them. Apparently they proved too much for an automobile party that came up from Colorado Springs and the result of the affair was that the party returned to the valley on a train. But this was no ordinary party, and there being no train because of leaving this city when they arrived, they chartered a special train.

No railroad official could be found last night who could give the names of those in the party, four in number, but one stat-ed that heard one of the two women called “Mrs. Du Pont.” Incidentally, the Du Pont’s were certainly affluent visitors to the area. All appeared prosperous, it is said, and it is believed that in the party were several well known people of Colorado Springs, on an outing.

Fishermen on Four Mile creek near Midland reported seeing the automobile

and its four occupants headed toward Cripple Creek in the afternoon, and seem-ingly made good headway. After that the sight of the car was lost until several hours later when the two gentlemen of the party alighted from an electric car, walked up to the railroad superintendent’s office at the station in Cripple Creek. It looks like their vehicle may not have finished the trip!

The gents made arrangements for a special car to carry the party back to Colorado Springs. The necessary money to cover the expense of the special, quite a considerable sum, was paid over in cash, it is understood. A short time later the spe-cial consisting of an engine and one pas-senger coach pulled out on a fast schedule for the east. Why the party was so anxious to return to the lower altitude was not learned by the officials, but one said he believed it was because the group had a dinner engagement on for the evening which they could not miss. Good thing the railroad had something available.

I expect the party, mainly the ladies, refused to travel the very rough road back the way they came! But then there is no more mention f the car.

opinions / yours and ours

Christmas for everyone, even the dogProbably the least demanding member

of the family was the old dog. It was not a tortuous decision-making process to try to come with an adequate present that will made him happy. Throw him a bone any day, and he is convinced it is Christ-mas time.

He believed in keeping on the sunny side of the room — and life in general. Nothing suited him better than the morn-ing rays beating down on his favorite, carpeted spot and reflecting off the light-colored wall behind him.

We didn’t ask too much of him and his only requests came in the form of whiney little pleas for a taste of something off the

grill, or pitiful petitions with his suppliant eyes for table scraps.

In turn, he offered the protective services of a thunderously menacing bark combined with the wild look in his eye

that unnerved even the most-determined of door-to-door solicitors.

Though small in stature, he feared no dog, or any other creature for that matter. In fact, if it came to a scrap, he was so cocksure— beyond a thread of self doubt — of his own military might and physical superiority as to attempt bear wrestling, or a bout with a mountain lion, or even wage war with a porcupine. And though I am sure in each case, he might have suf-fered debilitating damage in such battles, he was convinced he would eventually emerge victorious.

He got up early because he believed the day should start with a brisk walk,

preferably before daylight. Hopefully, it was not so cold as to make him want booties for his tender paws, but he would manage if necessary. If stiff and limpy from arthritis at first, by the end, his gait was natural and relaxed. If dogs know to smile, his was the widest. Sometimes around the holidays, the kids would dig out his red and white fur Santa suit, and the poor mongrel dressed the part. The first few years he was mortified, but later he barely noticed.

Of course there was stocking for him. And he didn’t know what is going on. But

Christmas is for everyone, even the dog. Merry Christmas.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear editor:

The 2013 Gold Camp Christmas Holi-day Headframe Lighting annual event is underway; this tradition would not be possible without several individuals and groups who deserve a huge thank you. Their time and effort make the event hap-pen each year. The event is 16 years old and is sponsored by the Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Company and South-ern Teller County Focus Group.

This event, which runs Thanksgiving weekend through New Year’s Day, requires days of preparation in the fall months and hours of volunteer work during the event. Volunteers from CC&V and the STCFG plan the event, place generators and coor-dinate volunteers to staff the fi ve sites that require generators. In addition, volunteers manage several sites that are hard line powered.

Thanks to CC&V management and security folks, who allow use of the non-public sites and access to them to start generators. The mine also donates all the gas, lights and most of the power for the project.

Thanks to Shawn Tomlinson and Jody Keel (and their helpers Brigitte Florquist and Henry Fenn and the millwright crew) of CC&V who make this happen every year. Thanks also to the CC&V Environ-mental Department staff (Jeff Campbell, and Gary Horton), who set and retrieve generators. Thanks to Jane Mannon who budgets for the lights each year. Thanks to Black Hills Energy whose staff and bucket truck are instrumental with the repair of ornaments. Thanks to our anonymous donor, who 13 years ago, donated six gen-erators for this project; thanks to care and

maintenance by JET Service, most of them are still running.

Thanks to Cripple Creek Parks and Rec-reation and Fire Department who donate gas and time to start the Vulcano genera-tors. Thanks to Jim Huffman and family for allowing us to use the Vulcano site. Thanks to the Cripple Creek District Mu-seum staff, who keep the Gold Sovereign star lighted and donates power for that.

Thanks to the community volunteers who brave the cold, wind and (we hope) snow to start generators and check power connections: Kirk Meyer and Veldean Petri, Richard Courson and Lisa McIntosh, Gary Horton, Guido Honeycutt, Shawn Tomlinson, Jeff Campbell, and Jon Za-lewski; and to Joe and Marjie Stevens who helped with powered sites this year.

And many thanks to those who donate to the STCFG throughout the year as your monetary donations help fund this event.

There are folks I am sure who have been accidentally left out of the list above, or help after this letter is written and printed, but please be assured that your efforts do not go unappreciated or unnoticed. Each year we receive a variety of thanks from locals and visitors alike — everyone who lives and visits here loves seeing the colorful decorations high on the mountains above our towns and, with-out all of your assistance and support, the holidays around the mining camp would be much darker.

If you are interested in helping in 2014, volunteering time or donating funds, please email [email protected].

Thanks and Happy Holidays to all!Ruth Zalewski, Southern Teller County

Focus Group, Victor

Survived Christmas, now ready for New Year Whew … you survived Christmas! Now

you can turn your attention to 2014 and start contemplating your New Year’s Reso-lutions and maybe, just maybe, this year regular exercise will make your list.

In case you need a little more incentive, check this out. In a large review published in the British Medical Journal on October 2nd, researchers from Britain’s London School of Economics and Harvard and Stanford Universities found exercise as effective as drugs in treating patients with coronary heart disease and pre-diabetes with none of the deleterious side effects of pharmaceuticals.

Perhaps, 2014 is your time to experi-ence the miracle of exercise.

The fi tness industry recognizes three stages in the process of an individual mov-ing from a sedentary lifestyle to an active one. The fi rst is the unconscious stage, where an individual is totally unaware of the benefi ts of and the need to exercise. Most likely, this person is dead.

Next is the contemplative stage, where one is aware they need to get in motion and is considering it but doing nothing about it. The fi nal phase is the action stage in which a person becomes committed to and acts on starting an exercise program.

I’d like to speak to those of your who are stuck in the contemplative stage by debunking a number of myths that keep people from moving into the action stage of regular exercise.

Myth: I’m too old to start an exercise program. There are numerous research

studies supporting the positive impact of moderate exercise programs for both men and women in their 70’s, 80’s and 90’s. Death was invented to tell you it is too late to exercise.

Myth: I’m too sick to start an exercise program. Cardio-respiratory and strength conditioning programs have been clini-cally proven to have a positive impact on just about every major disease process known to man.

Myth: I’m too overweight to start an exercise program. Countless studies have demonstrated that sensible caloric restric-tion combined with regular exercise is the most effective way to take weight off and keep it off.

Myth: I’m too weak to lift weights. Dumbbells start as light as 1 pound and can be adjusted in small increments.

Myth: I don’t have the energy to exer-cise. Exercise actually makes you more en-ergetic. Regular aerobic exercise enhances your cardiorespiratory fi tness and weight

training will increase your strength and stamina.

Myth: I don’t have the time to exercise. As little as 20 minutes a day, 4 to 5 days a week can enhance your physical fi tness. The health benefi ts of exercise are front-end loaded – a moderate effort reaps a majority of the benefi ts.

Myth: I get bored whenever I exercise. Establish an exercise regiment using a variety of aerobic activities. Boredom is nothing more than a lack of creativity.

Myth: As a woman, I’ll get big bulky muscles if I lift weights. The mitigating factor for large muscles is the hormone testosterone and women have very little of it. The fact is that regular exercise will tone and fi rm your body.

Animal Medical Center changes handsBy Pat [email protected]

In a serendipitous financial exchange, Michael and Brittany Factor purchased Animal Medical Center from Lance Roasa and Abby Obermiller. Each of the four is a doctor of veterinary medicine.

Roasa has completed a year of law school at the University of Nebraska at Lin-coln and plans to specialize in veterinary-practice acquisition law, in addition to working on the lobbying side of the profes-sion. Obermiller and the couple’s 2-year-old son have joined Roasa in Lincoln.

The Factors closed on the business Dec. 6 and are in the process of extensive re-modeling.

On 6 acres, the animal medical center offers a variety of services for horses, dogs and cats. Brittany Factor specializes in equine treatments, including sports medi-cine and advanced imaging.

On the cutting edge of delivering veteri-nary care, the Factors have equipped the clinic with facilities to accommodate knee surgery for dogs, therapeutic laser, digital radiology, acupuncture and regenerative medicine. “All of these are aimed at using non-pharmaceutical approaches to help the body heal itself,” Michael Factor said.

For horses, the new equine facility of-fers options for on-site horse treatments. “The haul-in capability is a more effective way of providing care for a horse,” Factor said. “We still go out, provide ambulatory care, however.”

The Factors and Brady Thompson, DVM, are available 24/7 for emergency calls. “More than 95 percent of our emer-

gencies are things we can take care of in 15 or 20 minutes.” Factor said. “We can do an assessment and alleviate people’s fears be-cause a lot of times fear is a big part of it.”

As new owners, the Factors have en-tered a thriving marketplace, as Teller County has the highest number of dogs per owner in the country. To top it off, there’s a national trend toward enhanced bonding.

“People are starting to value their pets more as family members; some are even

holding them to the same standard as their children. They want that same kind of medical care,” Factor said. “We’re trying to offer that high standard.”

With 10 employees, in addition to the three veterinarians, the clinic offers a day-care program, as well as boarding facilities. In the works are plans for a luxury board-ing spot with music, television and beds. “There will be web cams so the owners can look at their dogs,” he said. “We have a web

cam now for the day care.”When it’s time to give the dog a bath,

the clinic sports a self-serve dog wash with a separate entrance.

In line with human medicine, the Fac-tors are introducing a wellness program with a monthly premium. “They get two wellness physicals a year, the dental clean-ings and x-rays that we recommend, all the vaccines, de-worming medication, flea-and-tick prevention,” Factor said. “For the people who participate in the program, we plan to offer discounts on emergency ser-vices.”

For information about the center at 15226 W. U.S. 24, call 687-4351.

Keeping families together By Pat Hill [email protected]

A marketing effort that relies on the U.S. Postal Service for distribution, Safe Harbor’s mailing project is designed to raise awareness about the effort to establish a safe house for victims of domestic violence.

A Christmas gift of $4,000 from the Cripple Creek & Victor Mining Co. pays the postage and helps spread the word about the fundraising efforts of the nonprofi t orga-nization.

“We’ve heard about Safe Harbor for a long time,” said Jane Mannon, CC& V’s director of community affairs. “Cer-tainly there’s a need and a value in having a safe house.”

In the age of social media, Safe Harbor board members plan to cover the entire population of Teller County with the mailings. “We want to spread the word to get people interested in the project,” said Jan McKamy, the organiza-tion’s secretary. “The mailing project is something we can do to extend our reach, raise awareness.”

After eight years, the organization has broadened its reach to include helping victims of sexual assault. As a re-sult, Mark Manriquez, former deputy in San Diego who is an expert on sexual-assault issues, was asked to join the board of Safe Harbor.

“We are not trying to destroy the family,” Manriquez said. “Our fi rst allegiance is to keep the family together. If that cannot be done then the victim needs a place to go.”

The organization’s needs are many, land as well as a building to protect victims and their children in emergen-cies.

The workshop for the nonpro� t organization Safe Harbor took on a celebratory air, a holiday spirit, with a $4,000 donation from the Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Co. Pictured at Denny’s in Woodland Park are, from left, Jane Mannon, director of community a� airs for CC & V; and board members Lana Green, Vickie Gudaitis, Jan McKamy, Anne Mallett, Mark Manriquez and Doug Randolph.

Boys pick up first win of the seasonPanthers defeat Salida, 48-35, on Dec. 16By Danny [email protected]

What a difference a year has made for Woodland Park forward Sam Hopfe. The 6-foot-4 lanky forward is averaging 17 points per game over his last three con-tests.

On Dec. 16, Hopfe had career highs in points (19) and rebounds (16) to lead the Panthers to a 48-35 victory over Salida. It was Woodland Park’s first win after start-ing the season with seven losses.

Woodland Park got strong efforts from several other players. Senior forward Randy Westfall scored seven points to go along with a career-high 15 rebounds. Keegan Harman and Dominic Cunico had six points apiece, while Trey Byers chipped in with five.

Panthers’ mat men hitting it hard in early goingWoodland Park wrestlers have been very busy in DecemberBy Danny [email protected]

The Woodland Park High School wres-tling got its feet wet and whole lot more during a busy first week of action on the mat.

The Panthers had eight matches be-tween Dec. 9 and Dec. 14. Coach Keith Sier-acki said he saw a lot of growth in his team.

“After those matches we had a whole week of training,” Sieracki said. “We took one day to refine and two to three days to work on mental toughness.

“I think the guys have responded well to the adversity. We’re not where we want to be, but we’re getting there.”

The Panthers were supposed to open their season Dec. 4 against Sierra, but due to severe weather conditions that match was postponed five days. When the teams finally got to grappling Woodland Park came out on top 54-24.

“We looked really flat,” Sieracki said. “We had four days of nothing.”

Despite the inactivity, six Panthers re-corded pins: junior Tommy Hancock (120 pounds), freshman Xavier Dandurand (132), and seniors Abe Adair (138), Jake Morgan (145), Daniel Corbett (152) and Josh Smith (182).

On Dec. 11, Woodland Park hosted a tri-dual meet with Mitchell (43-22 win) and Manitou Springs (54-25 victory).

Recording pins against Mitchell were sophomore Garrick Arias (106), Dandurand (132), junior Jesse Weatherill (145) and se-nior Jonathan Hinton (170).

Coming up with pins against Manitou Springs were Arias (106), sophomore Drew Hovanetz (113), Morgan (152), Corbett (160) and Hinton (170).

“That was definitely a much better match,” said Sieracki, a long-time mem-ber of the United States National Wrestling Team. “You could see the improvement in just a couple of days.”

The Panthers capped their busy first week with the Ridge Rage Tournament at Palmer Ridge High School in Monument. The meet involved 10 schools that were divided into two pools. Pool A consisted of Palisade, Florence, Palmer Ridge, The Classical Academy and Liberty. Pool B was made up of Woodland Park, Monte Vista, Centauri, Canon City and Legacy.

Woodland Park lost its first three match-es to Centauri (27-48), Monte Vista (27-39) and Canon City (19-48), and then defeated Legacy (45-36) to close out pool play. The Panthers had a cross bracket tournament with Palmer Ridge and defeated the Bears, 51-22.

“I was very proud of the guys,” Sieracki said. “Nobody dropped out with injuries. Nobody complained. We kept getting stron-ger throughout the tournament.

“I didn’t feel like we were on our ̀ A’ game against Canon City. I definitely am looking forward to wrestling Canon City next year when they join our league.”

Several Panthers wrestlers had solid days in the Ridge Rage. Dandurand went 4-1 with two forfeit wins. Weatherill was 4-1 and lost his only match, 6-4, to Centauri’s Shane Wilson, the fourth-ranked wrestler in Class 3A. Smith, who is as fierce as a bulldog, also went 4-1 and lost his only match when Si-eracki bumped him up to 195 against a top Centauri wrestler. Morgan was 3-2.

Smith is ranked ninth in 4A at 182 pounds, while Weatherill is ranked 12th.

The Panthers kept busy Dec. 20-21, com-peting in the Old Chicago Northern Colo-rado Christmas Tournament. The event brought together 68 teams at the Budweiser Events Center in Loveland. Panthers’ wres-tlers got as many as 10 matches over the

two days. Results of the tournament were not available at press time.

After the Christmas break, the Panthers return to the mat Jan. 4 in the West Side Classic Tournament at Manitou Springs. That tournament involves eight schools.

One of the ways Sieracki prepares his

team for big tournament is by strenuous drill.

“Each guy will stay in the mat for 15 to 18 minutes and wrestle each guy one minute,” Sieracki said. “They have to know when they get to that fifth minute of a match that they have something left in the tank.”

Woodland Park senior Josh Smith is hoping to earn a trip to the state wrestling tourna-ment in February. Smith had a 4-1 record at the Ridge Rage Classic earlier this month.

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Surrounding yourself with beautiful things helps restore the Taurean soul. Enjoy an art exhibit, for example. Or redecorate your personal space with something truly splendid.

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Some colleagues might try to talk you out of what they insist is a risk, but which you consider an opportunity. As usual, follow your own good sense when making your decision.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) A workplace change you might have worried about soon proves to be highly favorable for the clever Crab who is ready to take ad-vantage of new opportunities opening up.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Congratulations. Your Leonine pride is polished to a dazzling new brilliance thanks to your success in winning support for your new project from even the most doubtful of detractors.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) An unsettling rumor about a colleague’s apparently regrettable behavior is soon proved groundless, allowing you to enjoy the upcoming end-of-year festivities in a happy mood.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) An unexpected workplace development could disrupt some fam-ily plans. A full explanation, however, averts domestic discord. A financial matter continues to need attention.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Spend time away from distractions to reassess some recent moves that might not have worked out as you had hoped. What you learn could be invaluable for future decision-making.

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) A recent act of kindness is a reminder of how important your friends are to you. You might want to show your appreciation by hosting a special pre-New Year’s party just for them.

BORN THIS WEEK: You always try to do your best, which sometimes causes you to be critical of those who don’t live up to your standards.

Pioneers hit the break with a 2-3 recordThe Cripple Creek-Victor boys’ basketball team has won two of its last three gamesBy Danny [email protected]

The Cripple Creek-Victor boys’ basket-ball team transitions into the Christmas break on a high note after splitting a pair of games at the Kodiak Classic. The Pioneers are 2-3 overall.

“I’m proud of these boys,” said first-year CCV coach Jordan Buss. “We’re on a good track right now. I’m positive. I’m optimis-tic.”

On Dec. 14, CCV knocked off Colorado Springs School, 61-47. The victory was sig-nificant because the Pioneers had lost to CSS, 51-29, in their season opener on Dec. 3.

“We learned a lot about each other from the first time we played (CSS),” Buss said. “We were a little more aggressive.”

The Pioneers leading scorers in the vic-tory over CSS were junior David Burks and freshman Danny Irelan, who each had 12 points.

The Pioneers didn’t fare so well in their first game of the Kodiak Classic, losing 86-30 to Front Range Christian on Dec. 13. Ire-lan paced CCV with 11 points.

“We were just a shell-shocked team in that game,” Buss said.

The Pioneers earned their first victory on Dec. 7, a 62-25 win over South Park. Junior CJ Salazar and freshman Conner Brown had 12 points each, while Burks added 11.

“We’re more of a team this year and we have a lot of freshmen stepping up,” said Burks, a returning starter. “We’re just going

to get better and better with all the fresh-men we have coming up this year and next year.

“I feel like we’re just going to keep win-ning more games.”

CCV’s other loss was Dec. 6 to Platte Canyon, 66-43. Salazar and Irelan had 8 and 7 points, respectively.

“We have stronger shooters this year and I think we gel well together,” Salazar said.

“We make a lot more of our shots, we have pretty good defense and we don’t give up even if we’re down.”

Buss likes Salazar’s intensity and scrappy play.

“CJ has always been that kind of a guy that nobody noticed,” Buss said. “He’s that absolute hustle player. Instead of getting it done with talent he gets it done with effort more than anything else. He’s a scrapper. He

picks up the trash.”Irelan has been one of the many strong

freshmen on the team.“I was pretty nervous my first game, but

I think I’m starting to get used to the pres-sure,” Irelan said.

When the Pioneers return from the break they play at Swallows Charter Acad-emy in Pueblo on Jan. 10 and travel to Del Norte on Jan. 17.

Every away game the Pioneers play is at least an hour away.

“It is what it is,” Salazar said. “A long drive we have to keep our minds focused on the games and we’ll be fine.

“I like it that we drive farther because we still have fun on the bus and actually are able to focus on the game.”

Our regular newspaper (with all news, sports, life, etc...), and all the content you have come to expect and depend upon each week, is mailed to everyone in Teller County on that second week of each month. It is also mailed to Green Mountain Falls and Lake George residents.

The Teller County Extra’s surprising circulation is married with Courier’s content. Reach out and touch the local mar-ket, as it moves hand-in-hand with surprising new news, sports, photos, commentary, and events. Everyone knows Content is King and Distribution is Queen. Get ready for a royal wedding, starting in January.

About the photo:Pictured are some of our top 35 regular advertisers in the Pikes Peak Courier and the Teller County Extra. The news-paper sponsored an appreciation breakfast on Nov. 20 and we were thrilled with the turnout. Those who attended were excited to be the first to hear the news of our Mass Mailed edition of the Courier beginning the second week of January 2014.

Looking back on the past year and a half, Collins is emotional at times, the light in her eyes a refl ection of something more than just happenstance.

“We don’t know how he ended up in our lives,” she said.

In the meantime, while Brutus, 8, seems to enjoy hanging out at the clinic, he still needs a good home. “Great Danes are not big runners,” Collins said. “They just want to lay around; they’re total peo-ple dogs.”

For information about possibly sign-ing on to providing a home for Brutus, call the Animal Clinic of Woodland Park at 687-9406.
