City sees slow but steady rise in population By Norma [email protected]

In the early 2000s, single fam-

ily houses were popping up all over Woodland Park.

City records show that water tap sales came close to hitting yearly maximums set by the city’s water-tap-management plan, which en-sures the city will have enough water to serve future needs.

In 2006 and 2007, 38 and 30 single-family taps were sold, respec-tively.

Then the Great Recession hit. Single-family water tap sales dropped to 13 in 2008 and a low of 4 in 2010.

Multi-family and commercial taps followed suit to the point that no taps were sold in 2009. Only one was sold in 2010.

Now, a bright light is shining at the end of the recession tunnel and it isn’t the headlamp of the oncom-

With brush, paint and water, local art-ist Dennis Palsgrove puts the history and beauty of Colorado trains and mountains to canvas.

The Colorado native recently had one of his pieces put on display at the Centennial Building in downtown Colorado Springs in an effort by El Paso County to highlight the local community’s artistic talents.

Palsgrove said his painting, “Midland Railroad at Woodland Park,” depicts more than just an old Midland Railway train chug-ging through Woodland Park.

It illustrates his passion is for the history of Colorado.

According to the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad historical website, the Colorado Midland Railway was founded in 1883 and connected Colorado Springs with the mines of Leadville.

“The Midland started in Colorado

Springs and went to Cripple Creek, up through Ute Pass,” Palsgrove said.

In 1918, the railway fell into foreclosure and the last passenger train left on Aug. 4 of that year.

The Midland Terminal Railway, owned by Broadmoor founder Spencer Penrose and mining legend A.E. Carlton, bought the abandoned railway out of foreclosure and used it to transport ore from Cripple Creek district to mills in Old Colorado City, primar-ily their Golden Cycle Mining and Reduction Co.

Scheduled passenger service ended in 1931. Ore and some freight continued to be shipped until it faded after World War II. By 1948, it was abandoned.

Palsgrove tries to capture that history in his paintings, which are mainly watercolors, for the past 25 years. He learned his craft at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs in the 1970s, recalling how his art

Wilkerson Pass Visitor Center to reopenBy Evan [email protected]

For nearly a half century, motorists have stopped at the Wilkerson Pass Visitors Center to stretch their legs, absorb stunning views of South Park and the Sawatch and Mosquito ranges or just use the restrooms.

That is until February 2015 when its vault toilets failed and the center, located 14 miles west of Lake George on U.S. Highway 24, was closed.

Since then, big changes have taken place. The U.S. Forest Service has spent $20,000 or so repairing the toilets.

And the South Park Ranger District has partnered with the South Park National Heritage Area to take re-sponsibility for the center and staff it with volunteers through a special use permit approved earlier this month.

Best of all for the 200,000 or so estimated annual visitors, the center is expected to reopen by the Memorial Day weekend, which is the traditional start of the summer tourism season.

According to Jeff Hyatt, program manager for recreation, the center was busy when it was open.

“It’s always packed, especially during the weekends,” he said. Many came to view the interpretive displays retracing 10,000 years of local history. Others walked a .9-mile loop. Others picnicked or just relaxed.

Then the toilets failed. Accord-ing to Hyatt, the toilets were poorly designed with of a “liner inside of a liner.”

Linda Balough, director of Park County Heritage, said she was disap-pointed when the center shut its doors. Interpretive exhibits at the center aim to educate travelers on the history of ranching, mining and rail-roading of the area. Ancient archeol-ogy stands also inform those who are interested.

According to Balough, the center is “more than a place to get brochures.”

“Seeing the visitor center closed was too diffi cult,” she said.

Balough asked the Forest Service what was going to be done to the cen-ter and offi cials mentioned the pos-sibility of the center being bulldozed.

“No, no, no, no,” she said, and began the process of saving the building, which dates to 1968, by applying for a special use permit.

The reopening is welcome news to the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 11411.

VFW Post 11411, based out of Floris-sant, holds fundraising events at the center every year, and has been hurt fi nancially by the closing.

“Wilkerson Pass was essentially our money maker,” said Randy Ford, Post 11411 commander. Ford explained that it was diffi cult to raise money as Florissant does not have a “big box store,” such as Walmart, where the post can hold fund-raising events.

Every year, during the long weekends, like Memorial Day, the post goes up to the pass and provides aid to travelers, along with refreshments and copies of the U.S. Constitution.

“We have miniature fl ags we give to the kids,” said Barbara Riley-Cunningham, Post 11411 Adjutant.

“The post has been doing this since its inception since 1993,” Ford said.

All of the money that is raised at the center is donation based.

“If someone feels like dropping a buck in the jar for a handful of cookies, you know, that’s fi ne with us,” said Ford.

The post even has repeat customers

when they are at the visitor center, ranging from all over the nation, even some out of the country.

“We have people that come from Kansas that say ‘this is my favorite cookie’ and they always stop in,” said Riley-Cun-ningham.

The money the post raises is turned back to veterans and family members in need, giving rides to hospitals and putting food on the table.

“We’ll go ahead and take care of some-body who’s down on their luck for some of those things they might need to make it through,” Ford said.

The post even donates money to other groups such as youth mentoring organiza-tion 4H.

“The money doesn’t stay with us that we collect, it goes to somebody else even-tually,” Ford said.

Such work even got the post the Teller County Cares Service Organization Award for 2015.

Ford said the post has been getting through the past year with donations from VFW members.

Balough hopes to have the center open into the fall, and is glad to have VFW Post 11411 hold their fundraising events.

“They’re more than welcome, I’d like to have that,” she said.

classes were held in trailers. History and the mountains of Colorado

are the main subjects of his paintings. The Midland Railroad is something the

artist has a personal tie with, as his cousin and her husband worked for the railroad. His cousin was a secretary and her hus-band was a bookkeeper.

The Midland isn’t the only railway that has been a subject of his art either.

“I’m kind of a railroad fan,” he said excitedly.

The Colorado Springs and Cripple Creek District railroad was also trans-formed to water color by Palsgrove. The railroad ran from 1901 to 1920 and pro-vided a direct route from Colorado Springs to Cripple Creek over what today is Gold Camp Road.

Palsgrove also has a family history that reaches up Pikes Peak.

“Both my parents were born in Colo-rado Springs, and my grandfather, and his two brothers homesteaded on Pikes Peak in the 1880s,” Palsgrove said.

His grandfather and uncles then built a hotel, called The Halfway House. It was torn down in the early 1920s when the city bought the property.

According to Palsgrove, the city used the material from the hotel to build a care-taker’s cabin further up the mountain near Seven Lakes.

He said that the hotel was on the Broadmoor Pikes Peak Cog Railway that carries tourists from Manitou Springs to the summit. Back when the hotel was still open, people would take burrow trains up, rest halfway at the hotel, and then con-tinue the ascent.

Palsgrove still enjoys hiking around the mountain and appreciates its beauty, depicting the mountain in several of his

works.“It seems every time you look at the

mountain, it looks a little different,” he said.

Jon Khoury, executive director of the Cottonwood Center for the Arts, praised Palsgrove’s work.

“A unique take is what Dennis is doing,” said Khoury, explaining that admirers are “seeing an interesting take on history.”

Palsgrove was also glad to see artwork in the downtown building.

“Public buildings need to have art in them,” he said. “It’s nice to have them showing current work being done by local artists, and I think that’s great.”

In 1920, the U.S. enacted the 18th Amendment to the Constitution and outlawed the manufacture and con-sumption of alcoholic beverages like beer and hard liquor. It was a time known as Prohibition.

Crusaders had managed to make booze illegal. But they couldn’t stop people from making and drinking it.

In fact, the hills around the Pikes Peak region became known for home-grown booze and bootlegging. Teller and El Paso counties were hot spots for stills, which produced gallons of illegal moonshine each week.

In addition to producing white lightning, Woodland Park and upper Ute Pass were also the sites of numerous gambling and drinking establishments.

I recently ran across a story of one of the largest opera-tions ever raided in this area. And it came three years after Prohibition ended in 1933. The time was the spring of 1936 when this raid happened.

It seems the sheriff was alerted to suspicious activity

at a ranch some six miles north of Colorado Springs. The ranch was near the Porter gas station on the Denver Road.

In researching the spot, it would be near where the south entrance to the Air Force Academy is located today.

The ranch was a quarter mile west, which would put it not far from Monument Creek, on the edge of the forest. Photographs show a simple two-story house, with basic farm buildings near it. It seems several days were taken to watch the spot.

Quite a bit of grain and sugar had been purchased for the farm over the last year from a variety of sources, prob-ably to lessen any suspicions.

The sheriff, assisted by federal agents, decided to take action early in the morning. They were totally taken by surprise by the size of the operation. In the back of the house they found a still nearly the full height of the build-ing. It extended well into the rafters.

In an adjoining building, a tank for the mash was found holding some 18,000 gallons. It was estimated the still could produce hundreds of gallons a day. The opera-tion was clearly the largest ever found in the area, and it had been producing its mountain dew for several years.

The discovery of the works obviously interrupted a massive production schedule. Initially it was thought that most of the product was being shipped to Denver and Pueblo for sale. But this was later found to be only part of the network.

Today this spot is unlikely to be recorded for posterity.

Ever get an email that just hits you wrong? I do and usu-ally I ignore it. Or I vent about it to my colleagues. Or I try to respond by gently correcting the writer.

Once in a while, I confess, I allow my frustration to over-ride my good judgment and I write back with a bit of attitude. Put a little edge in my response.

I know, I know, I shouldn’t do it. But sometimes I can’t help it.

This happened last week when an email popped up from a reader. She was complaining that we run too many stories

about young athletes in our sports sections and ignore other students.

“It saddens me that week after week the only ‘Faces to Follow’ are athletes and that multiple pages and photos are dedicated to only athletes,” she wrote. “There are so many other students achieving great things in other activities with other talents who are never recognized.”

That’s the line that twerked me off. She said The Courier never recognizes students in other activities.

Regretfully, I dashed off a much-too-defensive response pointing out all the stories and photos we’ve recently pub-lished of students beyond the sports pages.

Somewhat snidely, I admit, I noted the recent front-page story on students painting murals in Woodland Park High School and the photos and stories of Junior Chefs at Colum-bine Elementary and many others.

I wanted to ask her if she read our front-page coverage of the DriveSmart winning streak. There are so many other examples and I wanted to mention them all.

I pointed out our promotion of school plays and concerts in our page 2 calendar and other efforts to reach out to the community. Of course, the reader didn’t concede a single

point. (I got the feeling she’s never wrong.) And, of course, she picked up on the bite in my response.

I regret I was drawn into a snarky exchange. I should have avoided the back-and-forth and fast-forwarded to the ending of my email.

It’s the same thing I tell every reader: We constantly look for opportunities to feature area children doing good things. They can be feats of learning, drama, music, skill or whatever.

And I invited her to write anytime she wants to point out kids doing newsworthy things. This invitation applies to readers across Teller County.

Please let us know what is happening in your neighbor-hoods, schools, community groups, clubs, churches and all. Shoot me or anyone on our staff an email with the names, de-tails of the accomplishment and contact information where we can ask a few more questions, if necessary. You can even fill out a form on our website, pikespeaknewspapers.com, and send ideas to us that way.

And I’ll make one more promise: I won’t shoot back a de-fensive, snarky response!

Starr attended Woodland Park schools and received his high school diploma from Palmer High in Colorado Springs.

Davis for mayor – I have lived here nearly five years and I am a property owner. I operated a business here for a year and I am aware of the problems that face this community. I would deem it an honor and a privilege to serve the town of Woodland Park as mayor and I would appreciate your support. Glen Davis

Jackson of mayor – I’m running for mayor at the request of many good citizens of our city and am interested in sound, progressive and economical government for our community. Perhaps we’ll soon be a suburb of Colorado Springs, due to the rapid growth in the general area. We must face our responsi-bilities and solve our problems as they arise.

Removal of liquor during Prohibition.

March 30, 2016 Pikes Peak Courier 5A www.PikesPeakNewspapers.com

Labeled at the time as the “microphone scandal,” one of the most bizarre interactions between the press and historic Colorado politicians occurred during the administration of Gov. Teller Ammons.

Ammons, the youngest man ever to become governor of Colorado (elected at age 39), shared some similarities with Teller County.

Namely, both the governor and the county were named in honor of the same man: legendary U.S. Sen. Henry Teller.

Henry M. Teller had been a close and respected friend of Teller Ammons father, Ellias M. Ammons. The senior Am-mons was also governor of Colorado, from 1912 to 1914.

Teller Ammons, interestingly enough, had another Teller County connection. When he tried to get re-elected to a sec-ond term, he lost his bid to another Teller County political legend, Ralph L. Carr, a onetime newspaper editor in the Cripple Creek and Victor mining district.

Teller Ammons was raised and educated in rural Douglas County on his father’s cattle ranch. Prior to his political career, which began with his election to the state senate in 1930, he had worked in the newspaper industry in Denver, as well.

In 1936, he was elected as a Democrat, to serve in the

highest offi ce in the state.“The most publicized aspect of his administration was

the ‘microphone scandal,’ ” according his biographers at the Colorado State Archives, James O. Chipman and Erin McDanal.

An investigation resulted in the conviction of a Den-ver Post reporter, a private detective and an attorney on a charge of eavesdropping on the governor.

“In December 1936, shortly before Ammons took of-fi ce, Jack H. Gilmore, a private detective, and newspaper-man Walden E. Sweet placed microphones in Ammon’s soon-to-be occupied statehouse suite. Both were report-edly in the service of Earl H. Ellis, an attorney. They later held their motive was a quest for information to prove wrongdoing among high state offi cials, although they ultimately uncovered very little,” says the state archives.

“Ammons had been puzzled because the names of his appointees were appearing in the Denver Post before the appointees, themselves, had been notifi ed.”

That and a tip from someone led to the offi ce being searched and the discovery of two microphones and wir-ing leading down the ventilator shafts to an apartment belonging to attorney fi ve blocks away.

A grand jury indicted the three men responsible for the bugging of the offi ce. They were convicted on eaves-dropping charges and the attorney was disbarred.

Even after extensive review in the press, the record-ings really turned up no negative information against the governor.

“I don’t know to this day what they were trying to get on me,” Ammons noted at the time according to the archives. “It was embarrassing to a lot of people, but the worst thing was that my mother said ‘I didn’t know Teller used that kind of language.’”

Editor’s note: This is the fi rst of a three-part series. With Spring Break in the rear view mirror, the next cov-

eted date for the children and adolescents of Colorado is end of school year in May. Yahoo!

Unfortunately, many school-age children will retreat from the classroom to the bedroom during summer re-cess, spending the vast majority of their time playing video games, texting, surfi ng the internet and watching televi-sion.

For some, these endeavors will go on until the wee hours of the morning. Then they will sleep until noon or 1 p.m. and repeat the cycle until school commences in August.

So here’s a challenge to all parents: make this sum-mer different. Make the summer of 2016 one dedicated to health and fi tness for both your children and yourself.

Why is that a good idea?The President’s Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition

tells us that only one in three children are physically active every day. Children now average seven hours a day in front of a screen.

The Council also says that empty calories from sugars and fats contribute to 40 percent of total daily calories for 2- to 18 year-olds. Half of these empty calories come from six sources: sodas, fruit drinks, dairy and grain desserts, pizza and whole milk.

It’s little wonder that 16.9 percent of our children and adolescents are obese or that the prevalence of obesity has doubled for children ages 2 to 5 years since the early 1970s, quadrupled for those 6 to 11 and tripled for adolescents during the same time period.

Those are staggering statistics when you consider that 70 percent of overweight children go on to be overweight or obese adults.

It’s time to stop the bleeding.The website healthychildren.org offers a wealth of in-

formation on how to get your children in motion and keep them moving this summer. Let’s get started.

Begin by talking with your child’s doctor. Your pediatri-cian can help your child understand why exercise and eat-ing healthy is important and may be able to guide you to activities best suited for your child.

Find a fun activity. The more your children enjoy a sport or activity, the more likely they are to stick with it.

Choose an activity that is developmentally appropriate. For example, a 6-year-old is not ready for a 10k or weight-lifting.

Provide a safe environment. Make sure your child’s equipment and clothing are appropriate and that the activ-ity is safe.

Turn off the TV and provide active toys like balls, hula

hoops and jump ropes. And don’t overdo it when starting out. Too much, too soon is a problem at any age.

Make time for exercise. Schedule exercise sessions into your child’s summer routine and keep those appointments like you would any other.

And fi nally, be a role model. Kids pay a lot more atten-tion to what adults do than to what they say.

Tune in next week for the skinny on the types of sports and activities that are appropriate for children and teens.

Republicans speak out against gay marriage, illegal aliensBy Pat [email protected]

Teller County Republicans, like others in Colorado, are disenchanted with the caucus system, preferring to return to the presidential primary.

“We’re just inconsequential now – it’s all done by the time we know how Colorado is going to vote,” said Rip Blaisdell, a delegate to the caucus.

At caucuses earlier this month, the county GOP passed several resolutions that will be submitted to the state Legislature.

They want lawmakers to allow the parties to hold caucuses the first Tuesday in January followed by state assemblies in February to determine who will appear on their primary ballots.

“The current system discourages voters from participating in caucuses, assemblies and elections,” states the resolution.

Blaisell is hopeful the resolution will be influential.

In other resolutions, the county Repub-licans voiced support to:

• End Colorado’s participation in the Common Core education.

• Secure U.S. borders and enforce exist-ing immigration laws with no federal benefits provided to illegal aliens.

• Require English to be the official lan-guage of the U.S.

• Restrict federal funding for “sanctuary cities” that are uncooperative or non-responsive to Immigration and Cus-toms Enforcement agents attempting to enforce federal immigration laws.

• Keep Guantanamo Bay Detention Center open and bar the transfer of prisoners to the 50 U.S. and legal ter-ritories for any reason.

• Support anti-abortion legislation.

• Support gun rights of citizens and strictly interpret the Second Amend-ment of the Bill of Right to be an individual right.

• Resolve that marriage is the union of one man and one woman and must be upheld as a national standard and em-brace the principle that all Americans be treated with dignity.

• To establish a balanced-budget amendment to the U.S. Constitution. “This is something our congressmen keep promising every year and seldom even get a bill,” Blaisdell said. “It’s very frustrating.

• To require U.S. representatives and senators serve 20 years minimum to receive life-long benefits, just like civil service and the military.

“That’s pretty extreme, I think; and it’ll never get passed by the U.S. Congress,”

Blaisdell said. “They’re not going to limit themselves.”

Among the resolutions that failed to pass muster was the one to repeal Obam-acare.

“We went round and round about that one – if we’re going to repeal Obamacare, what are we going to put in its place?” he said.

The party also denied a resolution that states that no free person can be com-pelled to violate their religious, ethical or professional conscience nor be discrimi-nated against for refusal to violate their conscience.

“This was all about baking cakes,” Blaisdell said, referring to some bakeries in Denver refusing to provide cakes for wed-dings other than those between a man and a woman. “That was denied.”

Teller County Democrats had not yet ratified their resolutions.

Band director marvels at superhero musical scoresDraws inspiration for next concert

By Pat [email protected]

Young people in superhero costumes, a video arcade and symphonic music . . . World of Windcraft represents the evolu-tion of Woodland Park’s band director Craig Harms.

The “Windcraft” concert next month springs from a demographically-inspired “oops.”

“I looked at my audience and saw more gray hair than I ever would have imagined

– people were very appreciative, under-stand – but we’re trying to inspire younger people to recognize the fact that we exist,” said Harms, founder and director of the Wind Symphony and the Swing Factory. “We’ve got to come up with some kind of theme that will resonate; and it’s gotta be a little hip, you know?”

Relying on the experts, Harms consult-ed with people in the trenches, kids, young adults and his 18-year-old nephew, Caleb Harms, a graphic artist. “They’re really into the superhero thing, the video-game thing,” Harms said.

And lo and behold, the world of music contained a surprise for Harms.

“Music from the new video games is incredible, very symphonic and there are some great arrangements out there,” Harms said.

Along with the music, the concert April 17 includes another “hip” thing, Cosplay, where audience members dress up as their favorite Super Hero, with prizes for the winners.

“And they play the role from 1:30 to 2:30 that afternoon,” Harms said, adding that Cosplay takes place in a video arcade. “I’m doing video enhancement with multi-media which depicts the theme of the video games,” he said.

Along with the consulting, Caleb Harms has designed a poster to advertise the concert.

“It just blows me away what he’s done,” Harms said.

Harms has high hopes for the concert. “We’re hoping to get more members in

the Wind Symphony, some of the talented students from the instrumental music program at the high school,” he said.

For Harms, the superhero gig presents a musical rejuvenation.

“I don’t think I’ve been as excited about anything as I’ve been with this whole project,” he said. “It’s so different and the band is doing a great job as far as putting this music together.”

World of Windcraft begins at 1:30 p.m., with Cosplay and the concert begins at 2:30 p.m., April 17, at the Ute Pass Cultural Center. The event is free and open to the public.

Transplanted willows offer restoration hope in the Waldo Canyon burn scarFor The Courier

The Rocky Mountain Field Institute is conducting a pilot project, in partner-ship with the U.S. Forest Service, to see if mature, rooted willows can help restore critical riparian areas in the Waldo Canyon burn scar.

In June 2012, the Waldo Canyon fire burned over 18,000 acres of the Pike Na-tional Forest on the west edge of Colorado Springs, impacting four major watersheds.

Since then, a tremendous amount of work has been completed within the burn scar by a variety of different groups and entities aimed at stabilizing steep slopes, protecting watershed health, improving drainage, minimizing post-fire storm flows, and catalyzing native vegetation recovery.

The field institute, or RMFI, has been instrumental in providing project planning and field-crew training and supervision.

Due to the fire, a substantial amount of riparian vegetation was lost, which has significantly impacted erosion rates and watershed health. As a result, sediment deposits have inundated unburned creek banks in portions of Queens and William Canyons, especially affecting spotted owl breeding habitat.

The Waldo Canyon fire also damaged Preble’s Meadow Jumping Mouse habitat within several drainages.

Riparian vegetation, including grasses

and woody plants growing along the edges of drainages, are critical for controlling erosion, improving water quality and pro-viding habitat.

Willows are among the most common woody plants found in riparian areas. They are an important source of food and cover for wildlife and their roots help stabilize streambanks, minimizing wind and water erosion.

Willows are commonly used in post-fire recovery initiatives, such as in the 2002 Hayman fire burn scar northwest of Wood-land park.

Willows grow rapidly and provide effec-tive soil stabilization along streambanks or in other highly erodible areas. Willows can sprout new shoots from roots and quickly form roots when in contact with saturated soils.

In post-fire recovery efforts, crews harvest dormant willow stems from vigor-ous healthy willows. Dormant cuttings are then driven into the ground, where they sprout shoots and roots during the growing season.

Once established, willow cuttings form a web of roots highly effective at soil sta-bilization. Willows can be a quick solution if the cuttings survive. But in the Hayman fire scar northwest of Woodland Park, the survival rate was just 10 percent.

RMFI is targeting willow plantings in high priority waterways in the Waldo

Canyon burn scar where post-fire vegeta-tion recovery using other methods have not been successful to improve watershed health and stream function.

In January, RMFI and Forest Service field crews harvested several species of willows off the Pikes Peak Highway. The cuttings were shipped by express to a nursery in where they will grow in pots for about four months.

Around the end of May or early June, the plants will be trucked back for trans-planting in priority riparian areas in the burn scar identified by the Forest Service.

RMFI, with the help of youth corps crews and volunteers, will use power augers to plant the willows as soon as the ground has thawed and the spring high water period has passed.

The cuttings will be planted to a depth that will allow their bases to be at or near the level of the normal water table.

Experts will then monitor the willow transplants and track their survivability rate.

Crews also will complete hillslope stabilization and erosion control projects started by RMFI in other portions of the burn scar.

RMFI said it will need volunteers to help with the project, which is being funded by grants from the Colorado Water Conservation Board and the Pikes Peak Community Foundation.

Some Woodland Park teams on the move next fall

Declining enrollments mean teams dropping in classification

Continued declining enrollment at Woodland Park High School means that some Panthers athletic teams will be dropping down in classification during the next two-year cycle.

And that might be a benefit, according to Woodland Park athletic director Michael DeWall and some of his coaches.

“We’ve competed well on individual levels, but we just don’t have the depth, and that makes a difference when you’re competing for team championships,” DeWall said.

Woodland Park’s enrollment has gone from 881 in Oc-tober 2013 to 773 in October 2015. As a result, beginning next fall, cross country, wrestling, and track and field will drop from 4A to 3A. Football already plays at the 3A level because it operates under a different system.

Every other Woodland Park team sport will remain at the 4A level.

“I think it will allow us to compete a lot better,” said Woodland Park track coach Ron Payton.

He believes the move down in classification will be a huge benefit to that program.

“I would much rather compete against schools our size,” he said. “Now we have a chance to go to state and finish in the top five.”

The Colorado High School Activities Association uses different enrollment figures for each sport. The range is quite large, depending on the sport.

Beginning next fall, the numbers for each sport that Woodland Park competes in are as follows: 3A cross coun-try (287-802), 3A wrestling (260-834), 3A track and field (282-789), 4A softball, volleyball, basketball and soccer (627-1356), 4A boys golf (656-1409), 3A football (710-1239).

DeWall is busy putting together schedules for the next two-year cycle. He is working with his coaches to try and find opponents who best fit the talent levels of his teams.

“It makes it tough,” DeWall said. “You look at the num-bers and we’re at the bottom end of 4A. You look at a school

in our league like Mesa Ridge with nearly 1,400 students and they have so much more depth than us.

“You want your teams to compete against the best com-petition they can, but you also want them to have a chance to be more successful and schedule an opponent more to your level.”

The Woodland Park basketball team ran into the prob-lem of playing a powerhouse 4A team this year when Pueb-lo West came to town in December. The Indians won by 33 points and went on to win the state title.

DeWall is trying to schedule higher level 3A teams next year, as well as 4A teams that will be on the same level as

the Panthers.But among the other issues DeWall is facing when put-

ting together schedules is finding quality opponents in any classification that are willing to play Woodland Park teams.

CHSAA is going to a power points system with every team sport next season. That means only the league cham-pion is guaranteed a spot in the postseason. Currently the top three teams in a league advance to the playoffs.

Because of the new power points system (similar to one used in football), more successful teams are less likely to be willing to schedule mediocre teams because there is no benefit to them. In fact, under the power points system, a good team might get minimal points for beating an inferior

team in its own class. There is a greater advantage of play-ing down in classification against a better team, or up in classification.

“We have to be cognizant of our opponents,” DeWall said. “For example, when we put Pueblo West on our schedule two years ago, we didn’t know they would be state champions. But at the same time, you don’t want to play a whole bunch of cupcakes and St. Mary’s of the Poor.”

CHSAA does allow teams to petition to move down a level in classification if the win-loss ratio is consistently under .200 for at least four years. Woodland Park’s boys’ basketball team is 3-66 over the last three seasons. But the Panthers were 6-17 in 2012-13.

The problem with playing down is that a team is not el-igible for the postseason. That rule went into effect a cou-ple of years ago when Coronado won the 3A state football championship as a 4A school. The Cougars played down for four seasons and struck gold in 2013 when they won the state title.

There might not be a benefit to Woodland Park’s soc-cer, basketball or volleyball teams playing down in the 3A Tri-Peaks League. That league has schools like traditional state powers Colorado Springs Christian, St. Mary’s, Man-itou Springs and Salida.

“What would be the point of playing down if you have to play in that league?” DeWall said.

DeWall has already looked ahead at the projected fu-ture numbers for the high school and the trend continues to show there will be a decline.

“The predicted numbers will be in the low 700s when the October 2017 count comes out,” he said.

Outside of a migration of folks flocking to Teller Coun-ty in the coming years, Woodland Park athletic teams are sort of stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Panthers set to take on state’s No. 1-ranked teamGirls’ soccer team opens league play April 5By Danny [email protected]

The Woodland Park High School girls’ soccer team will open its Class 4A Metro League schedule by playing the state’s No. 1-ranked team.

The Panthers travel to The Classical Academy on April 5 for a 6 p.m. match against the Titans. TCA is the defend-ing conference champion.

“If we beat them, it will be the biggest win in program history,” said Woodland Park freshman midfi elder Saman-tha Lecky.

The Panthers are 0-2 to begin the season with losses to Elizabeth (5-1) and Pueblo East (4-1).

“We can’t base anything on those fi rst two games, other than the fact we have some things that need to be fi xed,” said Woodland Park coach Andrew Pappadakis.

And while Pappadakis is not throwing in the towel against TCA, he is looking at the bigger picture of the season vs. one game.

“We have to set some realistic goals that we can meet and accomplish,” he said. “We can’t look past TCA, but we also can’t be fi xated on them. We can lose the game to TCA and still get to where we want to go.

“If we happen to beat TCA, there is some force in the universe that is willing to let that happen.”

The top three teams in the Metro earn automatic play-off bids. TCA ran the table last season, going 7-0 in confer-

ence play, including a 9-0 victory over Woodland Park.Mesa Ridge and Canon City fi nished second and third,

respectively, in league to claim the other two playoff spots. Woodland Park was 4-3 in conference and was not chosen for one of the fi ve at-large spots in the 32-team postsea-son bracket.

The Panthers made the playoffs in 2013 and 2014, los-ing in the fi rst round each season. The league got con-siderably tougher in 2015 with the addition of TCA and Canon City.

“I would like our girls to fi nish No. 2 in league, beyond that fi nishing No. 3,” Pappadakis said.

TCA is very good for a number of reasons. It has tradi-tion – it played in the 3A state championship game four times from 2010-14 – and most of the Titans players are on club teams. Woodland Park has just a couple of club players.

“TCA has gifts and benefi ts that we don’t have, but they don’t work any harder than we do,” Pappadakis said. “I guarantee that my girls work as hard, if not harder, than any team in the state.”

TCA plays one of the toughest non-league schedules in the state. The Titans opened the season with a 0-0 double overtime tie with Air Academy, and then had a 1-0 victory over Lewis-Palmer – the state runner up from last season.

The Titans also play defending state champion Chey-enne Mountain, and perennial playoff team Palmer Ridge.

“There’s not anyone up to par in our league, so it’s good to have these tough preseason games,” said TCA senior defender Anna Thompson.

“When we get to league it gives us a chance to work on things that we’ll need to improve on for the playoffs.”

Mountain Top Cycling Club preparing for exciting seasonWoodland Park-based bike club has fi rst big event in May

By Danny [email protected]

Mountain Top Cycling Club is gearing up for another exciting season on the single tracks in the great outdoors of Teller County.

On April 5, Zack Sirko, the sales manager at Perfor-mance Bicycle in Colorado Springs, will be conducting a maintenance workshop for MTCC at Bier Works. The meeting will start at 7 p.m. with a brief update on club activities.

MTCC will host several rides from May through Octo-ber. MTCC’s fi rst ride of the season is the Ride of Silence, scheduled for May 18.

The Ride of Silence is to honor those cyclists injured or killed while riding their bikes. There is no talking during the slow-paced ride. It begins and ends at the Ute Pass Cultural Center. A short reception will follow.

The Experience Ride is set for June 11. The 5th annual ride had 225 riders in 2015. The ride starts at the Florissant Grange with a rolling start from 6 to 8 a.m. Homemade cookies and plenty of snacks are available at the rest stops.

The 50-mile route has 4,000 feet of elevation gain, trav-eling into Cripple Creek and Victor then back the start. The 106 mile course will do the same loop fi rst.

Once completed, riders will then start the 75-mile route which has 6,000 feet of elevation gain. The route is more free, open and enjoyable as it travels into Guffey.

“We’re hoping for 300 riders this year,” said Deb Mar-

esca, MTCC’s founder and executive director.MTCC is hosting the mountain bike portion of the

Rocky Mountain State Games on July 23-24 at Aspen Valley Ranch. The fi rst day will be a juniors, or youth day, with racers from 2-18. The second day would be a pro races with all the categories.

The popular Bike the Night is July 30. The ride starts at 9 p.m. at the Ute Pass Cultural Center. The 15K, or 9-mile ride, is great for the whole family.

The Aspen Valley Ranch Mountain Bike Race is Aug. 13. Riders get to race on the same course as competitors in the Rocky Mountain State Games.

The Colorado High School Mountain Bike League be-gins in August. Cripple Creek-Victor High School fi elded a team last year. Maresca is working with Woodland Park High School offi cials to get a team started this fall.

“I think there are more than enough kids at Woodland Park to support a team,” Maresca said. “We want to get them up and running.”

The NICA (National Interscholastic Cycling Associa-tion) Colorado league has over 700 high school students that race each other.

MTCC is bringing back two of its more popular events – Monday night “Bier Works Ride” and Wednesday night “Cruisers.”

Bier Works begins May 23 and will got to various loca-tions around Teller County like Rampart Range and Aspen Valley Ranch.

Cruisers begins May 25 and will take place each Wednesday night. It starts and ends at the Ute Pass Brew-ery and goes on a 4-mile loop around town.

“It’s more of a family ride,” Maresca said. “We try to keep it as fl at as possible.”

Maresca started MTCC six years ago with the help of several other bike enthusiast in Teller County.

“The club is doing well,” Maresca said.

s New! Superior Plus Whole Food Vitamin & Mineral

Our Whole Food Vitamin offers a high potency spectrum of all essential vitamins and minerals along with an abundance of other important nutrients including a vegetable and fruit complex, spirulina, green tea extract, grape seed, pine bark extract, Co Q10, Quercetin, digestive enzymes and a multitude of herbs.I am very excited states Mark Duvall ( co-owner of Whole In The Wall Herb Shoppe) that almost everyone I have given a free sample comes back that day or the next to purchase a bottle. I tell everyone that you can fi rst try a free sample and see how you feel 40 minutes after you take it. Most say that they never felt so good from a multi vitamin. Being a high potency formula & Gluten Free this digests very easy with no stomach distress. Try to break the vitamin that you are taking now with your fi ngers then try to break the Superior Plus and you will see it will break without any effort. Many supplements just pass right through the intestines.

Superior Plus Whole Food Vitamin & Mineral Ingredients:Soy Isofl avones Soy Isofl avones are phytoestrogens, daidzein, genistein and glycitein extracted from soy. Soy Isofl avones have a protective component against cancer.Rutin Rutin is a fl avonoid related to Quercetin. Rutin is nutritionally supportive for fragile capillaries, bruising and swollen ankles. Rutin prevents oxidation of LDL cholesterol by “recharging” Vitamin C.Inositol Hexaphosphate Inositol is the energy source for germinating seeds. It aids in the metabolism of insulin and calcium, hair growth, bone marrow cell metabolism, eye membrane development, and helps the liver transfer fat to other parts of the body.Choline Choline is used by the body to manufacture phosphatidylcholine found in every cell membrane. This component helps cells to remain fl exible enough to travel around tight corners of blockages in the body. In the nerve cells and brain cells it protects the interior of the cell from trauma, toxins, infections, and oxidation.Spirulina Spirulina is a blue-green algae containing 65-71% complete protein. It is a balance of all the amino acids.

Barley Grass Barley Grass improves digestion and supplies powerful nutrients and enzymes.Apple Pectin Apple Pectin is a wonderful dietary fi ber, lowers cholesterol and triglycerides levels, aids in the removal of toxins and helps prevent colon cancer, diabetes, GI disorders and heart diease.Oat Bran Research shows that oat bran lowers cholesterol levels thus promoting a lower risk of heart disease. Oat Bran is a great fi ber source of Vitamin B1, iron, phosphorus, and potassium.Ginkgo Biloba Ginkgo Biloba increases circulation and enhances brain function. Research may show that Ginkgo has been helpful in lowering cardiovascular disease.Gotu kola Gotu kola is “brain food.” Gotu kola is known as a blood purifi er, diuretic and helps relieve muscle cramps.Flax Seed Flax Seed is a rich source of Omega 3 and Omega 6 essential fatty acids. This anti-infl ammatory supports the joints, assists the body in the fi ght against allergies, cancer, cardiovascular disease and cholesterol balance. Citrus Biofl avonoid Citrus Biofl avonoid provides protection of capillaries and is an antioxidant. Co-Q10 Co-Q10 is needed for a healthy heart muscle. Co-Q10 is used by every cell in the body to capture electrons release as the mitochondria release the energy by combing sugar with oxygen.Green Tea Extract Green Tea contains compounds know as polyphenols that function as antioxidants combat bacteria and abnormal cells, inhibit the oxidation of LDL, cholesterol are found in green tea.OPC-50 Grape Seed Extract and Pine Bark These ingredients are rich in proanthocyanidins (PAC’s) providing extreme antioxidant protection.Quercetin Quercetin is a fl avonoid with anti-allergenic, antihistaminic and anti-infl ammatory activity.

Enzyme ComplexAmylase Amylase digests CarbohydratesLipase Lipase digests fatsCellulase Cellulase breaks down non-digestible fi ber found in plants.Papain Papain is a rich source of digestive enzymes.Bromelain Bromelain is a protein digestive enzyme that helps the body release toxins and waste products from the body.

Licorice Root Licorice Root strengthens adrenal gland function, relieves pain and infl ammation, relaxes muscle spasms, lowers cholesterol, and acts as a mild laxative.Siberian ginseng root Siberian ginseng enhances energy out put, regulates blood pressure, reduces cholesterol, stimulates immune functions, and promotes a general sense of balance.Mushroom Complex Mushroom Complex has been found to reduce lipid and serum cholesterol levels, provides strong adaptogenic tendencies, anti-tumor and immune-potentiating properties, and can be used in the treatment in various cancers.Garlic Garlic stimulates coronary circulation, supports immune function, anti- parasitic, stimulates digestive fl uids, and combats infection, reducing blood pressure and heart rate.Vegetable Complex The vegetable complex is derived from sources such as broccoli, celery, parsley, caulifl ower, carrots, and spinach, yam, collard greens, kale, and brussel sprouts. These are foods richest sources of vitamins, minerals and enzymes. They assist in alkalizing the body; they are rich in nutrients such as Vitamin K, chlorophyll, beta-carotene, and provide excellent free radical support.Fruit Complex The fruit complex is derived from oranges, lemons, tangerines, grapefruits, and limes. The components of these fruits are nature’s richest sources of citrus bio-fl avonoids, vitamin C, and powerful antioxidants which may reduce clotting tendencies and inhibit oxidation of LDL cholesterol. Research confi rms that a diet high in biofl avonoid contributes to a reduced risk of heart disease.

ing train. One indication is that single-family tap sales are rising.

The city sold 11 single-family taps in 2014 and 17 in 2015. Utilities Director Kip Wiley is optimistic enough about future tap sales that he raised the estimated sales for 2016-18 to 10 per year.

These estimates are used to craft future utility budgets and are usually set on the conservative side of expectations.

Multi-family and commercial tap sales are more volatile, depending on the size and number of projects getting ready to come online.

For example, because of Charis Bible College and Trail Ridge Apartments projects, sales of these taps went from 6 in 2012 to 104 in 2013 and 78 in 2014. Sales dropped back to 2 in 2015.

Population growth also slowed during the recession years. Between 1980 and 2000, the city’s population rose by about 2,000 per decade, from 2,634 to 6,515 residents.

In the next 10 years it increased by only 685 to a total of 7,200. But now it’s rising again, gaining an estimated 875 residents in the next four years.

Two years ago, the city switched from the Teller County Building Department to the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department.

Regional Building released two years’ worth of statis-tics for the planning and building department’s annual report. City Planning Director Sally Riley issued the report at the March 10 Woodland Park Planning Com-mission meeting.

The department conducted more plan reviews and building and construction inspections and issued more building permits in 2015 than in 2014.

However, the building permit valuation dropped from $51.3 million in 2014 to $16.1 million in 2015. Ri-ley said the big difference in year-to-year valuation was because of Trail Ridge Apartment construction and a large number of commercial remodeling and alteration projects in 2014.

Colorado governor picks Kaiser exec as No. 2By JAMES ANDERSONAssociated Press

DENVER (AP) _ Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper on Wednesday presented Donna Lynne, a top Kaiser Health executive and longtime supporter of the governor, to be what he called his ``chief operating offi cer'' as the next lieutenant governor.

Hickenlooper told reporters at the snow-bound state capitol that he wanted someone with signifi cant executive prowess and government experience for the post.

Lynne, who served 20 years in New York City govern-ment in various posts before joining Kaiser in Colorado, said she served under four mayors there _ three Democrat, one Republican.

`Ì fi gured out politics pretty early,'' she said.Lynne's nomination will be sent to the Legislature soon

for approval. If confi rmed, she would replace Joe Garcia, who is stepping down to be president of the Western Inter-state Commission for Higher Education.

Unlike other places where the lieutenant governor pre-sides over the state Senate, Colorado's has no role by law except to replace a governor who dies in offi ce

But Lynne's nomination quelled speculation, for the moment, that the Democratic governor wanted someone in place should he be asked to serve in Washington by a future administration.

When asked if she'd seek to succeed Hickenlooper, who has two years to go in his second term, Lynne had a short answer: ``No.''

Still, Hickenlooper said, `Ì think Donna Lynne has the background to be governor from day one.''

Senate president Bill Cadman, R-Colorado Springs, welcomed the nomination.

`Àt a time when health care is such a signifi cant focus of public concern for government, business and individu-als, hopefully she'll be just what the doctor ordered,'' Cad-man said in a statement.

Lynne is executive vice president of Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc., and Kaiser Foundation Hospitals, over-seeing hospital operations for Kaiser's Colorado, Pacifi c Northwest and Hawaii regions. She previously was execu-tive vice president and chief operating offi cer at Group Health Inc., a $2.5 billion managed care organization.

Lynne also has worked closely with Hickenlooper over the years, including his 2010 gubernatorial transition team and an issues advisory board in his fi rst term dubbed TBD Colorado. She's also a former chair of the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce.

She listed some of her initial priorities as education, health care and personnel management. `Ì want state workers to feel how much love we should give to them,'' she said.

If confi rmed by both legislative chambers, Lynne will replace Garcia, who took the job in 2011.

Transgender birth certi� cate change fails in Colorado

DENVER (AP) _ A bill to make it easier for transgender people to change their birth certifi cates has failed in a Republican Colorado Senate committee.

The bill would have changed the process for transgen-der residents to update their birth certifi cates to refl ect their correct gender.

The bill would have allowed the change without the person getting surgery. And the new birth certifi cate would not be marked as `àmended,'' as is the case now.

The bill passed the Democratic House but failed on party lines 3-2 in a Senate committee Monday. Republi-cans did not explain their votes.

The GOP-controlled Senate rejected a similar bill last year.

Colorado hunters could soon wear hot pink, not just orange

DENVER (AP) _ A bill to allow Colorado hunters to wear fl uorescent pink, not just blaze orange, is on its way to the governor.

Colorado would become the second state after Wis-consin to make the change. Gov. John Hickenlooper is expected to sign the measure.

Hunters now are required to wear blaze orange as a safety precaution when they hunt elk, deer, pronghorn, moose or black bear. Those animals can't see either color, but the bright hues can help camoufl aged hunters stand out to other humans with guns.

The hunting-in-pink bill is described as an attempt to encourage female hunters. The bill passed its fi nal vote in the Colorado House 58-5 Tuesday without debate.

Colorado pair accused of $800,000 gain on illegal water sale

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) _ Two Colorado men face charges of illegally pocketing about $800,000 by purchas-ing water that was restricted to agricultural use but selling it for oilfi eld use at higher prices.

The Boulder Daily Camera reported Wednesday (http://tinyurl.com/zxp9yrt) 65-year-old Norman William Armstead and his nephew, 44-year-old Donald Benjamin Armstead, were arrested on suspicion of theft, conspiracy and forgery. Both are from Johnstown, about 45 miles north of Denver.

Donald Armstead didn't immediately return a message left by The Associated Press Wednesday. No phone number could be found for his uncle. Court records didn't indicate whether they have attorneys.

Prosecutors say they bought water from the city of Boulder at agricultural rates, about $30 an acre-foot, and sold it to an oilfi eld services company for about $2,700 an acre-foot. An acre-foot is 326,000 gallons.

Legislators look to limit shackling juveniles in courtrooms

DENVER (AP) _ Colorado lawmakers will consider leg-islation that would require restraints on juvenile offenders to be removed before court hearings.

The Denver Post reports the bill sponsored by Rep. Susan Lontine and Sen. Michael Merrifi eld also includes a list of exceptions for when ankle cuffs and chains on youths would be necessary. It will go before a House com-mittee Tuesday.

The legislation comes after the Colorado Supreme Court issued a ruling last year requiring all 22 judicial dis-tricts to adopt individual policies for determining whether juveniles should be restrained in courtrooms.

In March 2015, juveniles were allowed to appear without restraints in only three districts. That number has increased to 18.

State defense attorneys have argued against shackling children and called for more consistent statewide policies regarding the use of restraints.

Colorado sheri� s handed another loss in gun lawsuit

DENVER (AP) _ A group of Colorado sheriffs has been handed another legal defeat in their challenge to gun restric-tions enacted in response to 2012 mass shootings.

A federal appeals court ruled Tuesday that a lower federal court improperly heard the sheriffs' challenge to 2013 laws limiting the size of ammunition magazines and expanding background checks on fi rearm purchases.

The decision means that the sheriffs shouldn't have been allowed to oppose those gun laws in the fi rst place.

Gun-control opponents didn't immediately say whether they'll they again in the wake of the decision from the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals.

A bond of kinship: when Gramma becomes the momBy RACHEL SAPINAurora Sentinel

AURORA, Colo. (AP) – Mickey Mauck imagined her retire-ment would lead her somewhere exotic, like New Zealand or Australia.

Instead, after a long career as a counselor at several metro-area colleges and later leading a nonprofi t, Mauck and her husband Don purchased a home in Aurora's Dam West neighborhood – one that would be closer to their grandchild's school and friends.

“I've become an expert on kinship in the state of Colo-rado,'' says Mauck, who has been a kinship provider for her 13-year-old granddaughter Bree for more than seven years now.

In Colorado, 39 percent of grandparents who live with their children are caring for them, says Jeannie Berzinskas, a kinship care coordinator with the Colorado Department of Human Services.

“There are 67,568 grandchildren, just grandchildren, be-ing cared for by 35,716 grandparents,'' she says, citing data from the 2010-2014 American Community Survey.

According to the National Kinship Alliance, across the country one in 10 children live with a grandparent. Four in 10 of these children are being raised by that grandparent, and one in fi ve of those families are living below the poverty line.

Berzinskas says what many kinship providers such as grandparents don't realize is, even if they don't formally adopt their grandkids, they can still qualify for the state's fi nancial support for parents, such as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF).

Kinship support intervention programs can help grand-parents buy everything from baby formula to bunk beds.

Mauck says support services for kinship families are also growing. On the second and fourth Monday night of each month she and Bree participate in an adoption support group at Aurora Mental.

She is also part of the Kinship Alliance in Colorado, a group of 50-60 professionals who work in kinship families across the state. This fall, she is also working to host Aurora's fi rst “Relatives Raising Children'' conference.

Kinship care is broadly defi ned as the full-time nurtur-ing and protection of children – who must be separated from their parents – by relatives, godparents, stepparents, or other adults who have a kinship bond with a child.

Mauck says kinship is much different from adoption because with adoption comes a sense of choice. But in both situations children must grieve the loss of their biological parents.

Mauck is also a family peer support specialist at Aurora Mental Health who helps local kinship families.

Standing in her bedroom recently, Bree is simply a teen-ager. She has posters of her favorite show “The Walking Dead'' hanging on her purple walls, while Spiderman memorabilia fl oods her desk.

“I enjoy living with my grandma the most. I'm most com-fortable with her,'' Bree says.

Bree also has her grandmother hooked on the show.“I binge-watched it for two months,'' Mauck says. “At the

apocalypse, the bad people turn into good people and the good people turn into bad people. The relationships you have to form to survive are a little like us.''

Bree was fi rst removed from her parents' care at 6 months.

She was taken away from them when they could no longer care for her due to drug addiction and incarceration.

She was ultimately placed with the Maucks by Arapahoe County social services, but before that the family endured years of court battles and Bree hopping between households.

About a year and a half ago, Bree decided she did not want to remain in contact with her father, but she still visits her mother.

“We have escape plans,'' Mauck explains, for when Bree ever becomes uncomfortable in a situation with a family member.

“They also have to grieve the loss of their grandma, be-cause I can't be a grandma,'' Mauck says of her relationship with Bree. “I've had to learn to redefi ne my role as grandpar-ent to my other grandchildren and as caretaker to Bree.''

Like adoption, becoming a legal guardian as a relative can be expensive. Mauck says she spent nearly $8,000 on a lawyer to gain full custody of Bree _ money she said she could have been put toward her granddaughter's college funds.

Instead, it was used to get Bree back from the foster care system.

Mauck, who now has Allocation of Parental Responsi-bilities (APR) for Bree and is also her offi cial guardian, fi rst gained temporary custody of Bree when her granddaughter was 6 months old.

Mauck said the initial family plan created by social ser-vices for Bree involved visitations and appointments each week, whether it was to see Bree's mother or father, her other grandparents or lawyers, and court-appointed social workers.

“It was a nightmare. She (Bree) spent most of her time in the car,'' Mauck remembers. “Then we had to deal with the emotions when she came back home.''

Mauck says those would often involve screaming fi ts when Bree was younger.

“I learned to wrap her in a blanket, swaddle her and hold her until it went out of her,'' Mauck says.

Because that family plan emphasized reunifying Bree with her parents, Bree lived with her mother and father for short intervals. Mauck says she would often pick up the slack when one or the other parent fell back into harmful habits.

It was an event when Bree was 9 years old and living with her father that led the Maucks to take full custody of her.

While the Maucks were out of town, Bree's father was arrested. This time social services sent Bree directly to foster care.

It was a little over a month before the Maucks could even get Bree back. And it took six to eight more months to again gain custody.

“It was scary because no one really told me what was go-ing on,'' Bree remembers. ``By that time, my dad was in jail, my aunt told me that. They just took me away and I had no clue why.''

Mauck remembers contacting the judge on the case for weeks, pleading for her granddaughter to be returned to her.

“I got support letters from our minister, from her teachers, social workers, therapists,'' Mauck remembers. ``We fl ooded the court with letters.''

When Bree was allowed to again live with her grand-parents, Mauck was required to take Bree to court-ordered therapy. Mauck soon became friends with Bree's therapists, and was later recommended for a program called Peer Uni-versity through Aurora Mental Health.

“Bree got me my job. I thought I was retired,'' Mauck says.

Artist wants to provoke discussion with gun art

DENVER (AP) _ Ravi Zupa looks at guns as an art form, converting old type-writers, staplers, vacuums and old car parts to make realistic gun displays.

Zupa said he's not taking sides in the gun debate, he just wants people to think about the issues and discuss them. One of his pieces included a big sculpture resembling the Hindu god Shiva. It had six arms, and one held a gun.

The 38-year-old artist held up a sculp-ture that looks like a submachine gun from World War II. It's part of his works he calls ``Mightier Than'' series.

Zupa said words are more powerful than guns because of the impact they can have and the positive effect that can result from the discussions, according to Colorado Public Radio (http://tinyurl.com/zy2jyx4 ).

The art is so real it prompted a call in November to the Englewood Police De-partment from someone who saw people

packing up some of the fake guns.``The main components are typewrit-

er components,'' he said. ``I'll take apart a typewriter and paw through that pile and fi nd pieces that seem appropriate.''

He uses typewriter rollers as the bar-rels and stapler guns for the triggers and the grips on his mock assault rifl es and machine guns.

He also has used parts from cars, vacuums and sewing machines, but he likes typewriters because he believes they convey a stronger message and play off his love for words.

Zupa said he has fi red several weap-ons, but most of his displays are modeled from pictures.

``The main thrust of all of my art comes from looking at books,'' Zupa said.

Zupa said his sculptures started as pieces of props in videos and he didn't realize their poetic potential until later.

Forest services considers road closuresDENVER (AP) _ The U.S. Forest Service has agreed to consider closing 500 miles of roads

for motorized vehicles in the Pike-San Isabel National Forest under a settlement with envi-ronmental groups.

The Denver Post reports (http://dpo.st/1Og9QGp ) the settlement accepted Monday requires forest offi cials to also consult with state wildlife experts to determine whether changes must be made to protect deer and elk.

The settlement is the result of a lawsuit fi led by environmental groups, which challenged roads that land managers had improperly allowed in mountains near Front Range cities.

Some of the roads up for debate, near Leadville and Pikes Peak, cut across streams where banks are eroding habitat for lynx, spotted owls and other wildlife.

Forest offi cials say they'll produce a plan detailing where motorized vehicles can travel without harming the environment.

Assimilation is a long process for Somalis in US farm town of Fort Morgan, Colo.By JAMES ANDERSONAssociated Press

FORT MORGAN, Colo. (AP) _ For the last decade, Somali refu-gees have fl ocked to this conservative farm town on Colorado's eastern plains. They've started a small halal mini-market and a restaurant, sent their children to the schools and worked at a meat processing plant.

As much as Fort Morgan's small town feel reminds many of their rural villages back home, some say they will feel like outsiders until they get what has so far eluded them: a permanent mosque. They are renting two small rooms for a makeshift version, for now.

They say they've tried to buy property to build a mosque but believe no one wants to sell to them.

`Ìf we can own a mosque here, we will be more a part of the community,'' said Abdinasser Ahmed, a local Somali leader and public schools teacher who fl ed war-torn Mogadishu, Somalia, in 2003, arrived in Fort Morgan in 2009 to work at the plant and is now a U.S. citizen.

Some longtime residents say they don't want one in their city of 12,000, a step too far especially at a time when fears of terror-ism have grown following the attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, California.

Putting a mosque ̀ `right in the center of town'' would be a symbol ̀ às if to claim the town,'' said Candace Loomis, who runs a coffee shop and whose grandparents settled this country of sweeping horizons in a two-room sod house.

Divisions have been exacerbated by rhetoric on the Republi-can presidential campaign trail, including talk by Donald Trump and others about banning fellow refugees and Muslims from the U.S.

Each Islamic State-inspired terror attack, each domestic mass shooting, adds to the pain of the East African community here, Ahmed said. It's a continuing challenge for refugees who fl ed vio-lence themselves to integrate into a society whose citizens worry about that very same violence at home.

`Ìf Donald Trump came here I would tell him: ̀ Don't attack the refugees.' We are all refugees. Everyone came from someplace else,'' said Abdikadir Abdi, a Somali refugee who settled in the city six years ago and helps run the lone halal grocery store.

Residents say they want to be welcoming. They know they need foreign workers in a community with an aging, and dwin-dling, local-born population. But hesitations remain, especially about Muslim refugees.

``There's a general feeling out there of, ̀ Let's slow this train down a bit,''' is how Morgan County Sheriff Jim Crone described local attitudes toward the security of the U.S. refugee resettlement program. ̀ Ìt's a sense of: ̀ We don't mind people coming here. Just be part of the process.'''

More than 9,500 African refugees and asylum-seekers – among 50,000 from around the globe _ settled in Colorado or moved here from other U.S. states in fi scal years 1980-2014, the U.S. Offi ce of

Refugee Resettlement reports.Most went to Denver, Colorado Springs and Fort Collins;

so-called ̀ `secondary migrants,'' like those in Fort Morgan, come from those and other U.S. cities, including Minneapolis.

Like most immigrant communities in early stages, the Somalis have largely kept to themselves, fueling suspicion among some of the majority white population that they don't want to assimilate. Most of the East Africans live in a crowded apartment complex on the other side of the railroad tracks from downtown.

The federal and state governments, Morgan County's school district, Cargill, churches and social agencies have poured substan-tial resources over the years in settling the refugees and building bridges with the community. The most intensive focus is in county schools, where 800 out of 6,000 students take English as a second language

Cargill has set aside room for Muslim prayers. A third of Car-gill's 2,100 workers are East African.

In December, 150 East African workers walked off the job because they thought they were being refused prayer time. Cargill insisted they weren't and fi red the workers after they stayed away three days. The company has since rehired 10 workers, but an advocacy group, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, has stepped in and fi led discrimination complaints.

The incident escalated because of language. Many older Soma-lis don't speak English, making it diffi cult for One Morgan County and other service organizations to build bridges with the white community and the Hispanics who have been here for genera-tions.

``We have worked hard to build relationships,'' said Michaela Holdridge, One Morgan County's executive director. ̀ `But there can be a lot of misunderstanding.''

What happened in San Bernardino solidifi ed for a lot of resi-dents their worries about how the U.S. vets refugees, Crone said.

``Some people will throw the racist card to that attitude,'' he said. ̀ `That's not what it's about. It's about a lack of social structure in their homelands. To ignore that kind of stuff is just not proper. But that doesn't mean you're going to treat them any different.''

Jodi Walker runs Kids at Their Best, which works with children in high-poverty areas. She said most of Fort Morgan was unpre-pared for the sudden arrival of East Africans _ and that assimilation would accelerate if more citizens got involved.

``This is where the Latinos were 25 years ago,'' Walker said of the Somalis. ̀ `This is where the German-Russians were 100 years ago. This is the same story here, and it takes time, it takes educa-tion, and it takes kids.''

Since 2010, Ahmed has specialized in teaching math, English, translating, citizenship and other classes for East African middle and high school students. It's a special calling for Ahmed; he re-members his own grade schools were destroyed in Mogadishu.

``The youth here are starting to get everything – speaking Eng-lish, using cellphones, mixing with the community through their classmates,'' Ahmed said.

Forest services considers road closuresDENVER (AP) _ The U.S. Forest Service has agreed to consider closing 500 miles of roads for motorized vehicles in the

Pike-San Isabel National Forest under a settlement with environmental groups.The Denver Post reports (http://dpo.st/1Og9QGp ) the settlement accepted Monday requires forest offi cials to also con-

sult with state wildlife experts to determine whether changes must be made to protect deer and elk.The settlement is the result of a lawsuit fi led by environmental groups, which challenged roads that land managers had

improperly allowed in mountains near Front Range cities.Some of the roads up for debate, near Leadville and Pikes Peak, cut across streams where banks are eroding habitat for

lynx, spotted owls and other wildlife.Forest offi cials say they'll produce a plan detailing where motorized vehicles can travel without harming the environ-

ment.
