Arby’s gets a go from council Road work in city planned for summer By Norma Engelberg Contributing writer

A few homeowners came to the May 1 Woodland Park City Council meeting to express their concerns about an Arby’s Restau-rant moving into their neighbor-hood. US Beef Corp. is buying the building at 407 E. U.S. 24, where the Tabeguache Steakhouse is now located, and plans to turn it into an Arby’s with the help of lo-cal architect David Langley.

There weren’t quite as many people speaking out against the project as there were at the April 10 planning commission meeting but they were just as vocal. Con-cerns included traffi c, parking, pedestrian safety at U.S. 24 and in the Arby’s parking lot, noise and light pollution.

Sit-down restaurants are per-mitted in Community Commer-cial zones, such as this one, but a conditional use permit is nec-essary to open a drive-through restaurant. The city planning staff determined that the proj-

ect meets all the conditions for a conditional use permit and coun-cil agreed by a vote of 5-1. Coun-cilmember Ken Matthews cast the nay and Councilmember Bob Carlsen was absent.

Ken Garlin, whose property

is behind and kitty-corner from the Arby’s site, said the 4-foot-tall fence Arby’s will install behind the building might be a solution to the glare from headlights but he’d have to wait and see. When City Planner Lisa Parnell said the

neighbors were “accustomed” to having a restaurant in their midst he disagreed. In the 10 years he lived in his home there hadn’t been a drive-through restaurant in his neighborhood and the pre-vious Cruisers and Sonic restau-

rants were smaller.Another neighbor Jim White,

a 19-year resident, agreed with Garlin on all points and added a few of his own. He said the Ches-ter Street entrance to the Arby’s will be inadequate and that when the Trail Ridge Apartments off Sheridan Avenue are complet-ed he and his neighbors will be “trapped in our neighborhood” by traffi c.

When neighbor Eric Running expressed concerns about the Arby’s franchise owner living in Tulsa, Okla., instead of Woodland Park.

“He (the franchise owner) won’t be spending his profi ts here in Woodland Park,” he said.

At that point Mayor Dave Tur-ley stopped Running because, as he said, council can only base its decision on whether or not the project meets the criteria for the conditional use permit and not on the owner’s business plans.

“It’s not council’s purpose to keep people in or out,” he said. “Property owners decide that — it’s called free enterprise.”

Tra� c generated by Peoples National Bank, an o� ce building and the new 168-apartments that are being built by Woodland Park Associates has triggered the need for intersection improvements that will cost about $241,000. Improvements to Sheridan will cost another $86,000. Photo by Norma Engelberg

Ute Pass � ood mitigation project nears completion Most of work � nished, box culvert 10 times bigger By Rob Carrigan [email protected]

A Colorado Department of Transpor-tation project designed to improve water fl ow under U.S. 24 is nearly complete, al-lowing traffi c to return to its original, four-lane confi guration at Waldo Canyon, about one mile west of Manitou Springs.

Traffi c was expected to revert back to two lanes in each direction sometime (Sat-urday) morning. Although the majority of the work is complete, some fi nishing oper-ations still may take place, requiring tem-porary lane or shoulder closures over the next two to three weeks.

The extra-large concrete box culvert is designed to carry excessive amounts of water. Measuring 24 feet wide and 10 feet high, the culvert is ten times larger than the 72 inch metal pipe it replaced. Work began in February.

“This was another one of the steps we took to help mitigate the fl ooding that’s been occurring on Ute Pass during rain storms,” said CDOT Resident Engineer Dave Watt. “The oversized culvert now will allow heavy water fl ow, debris and mud to pass under the highway, not over it, remov-ing one more hazard to the traveling pub-lic.”

Wildcat Construction Co. of Colorado Springs was the prime contractor for the $1.4 million project.

A Teller County man was the victim of fl oods last summer on Aug. 9, in the lower Ute Pass area on U.S. Highway 24.

The victim who died along Highway 24 near mile marker 297, during the fl ash fl ood on August 9, 2013 was identifi ed as 53-year-old John Collins of Teller County. Mr. Collins’ body was recovered from a large amount of debris which covered the westbound lanes of Highway 24. His vehicle was in the same general area but further west on Highway 24; it is unknown if Mr. Collins exited his vehicle by choice or if the rapidly rushing water and debris forced him from his vehicle, reports from El Paso County Sheriff’s Offi ce said.

The body was not inside a vehicle and much of the body was buried beneath sig-nifi cant amounts of debris on the west-bound lanes of Highway 24, reports said.

Nearly 1.5 inches of rain fell in 30 min-utes on Friday night, Aug. 9, 2013, in an area devastated by a wildfi re a year previ-ous, causing a creek to overfl ow its banks and cascade across a state highway and into the town of Manitou Springs.

Crews removed more than 2,000 cubic yards of material from the inundation area.

On the following Saturday, about 40 ve-hicles swept away in the torrent had been towed out of the debris, while six buildings had been deemed unsafe to enter and an-other 11 structures sustained damage from the fl ood and mud fl ow.

Another serious fl ood event occurred on Sept. 12, 2013, destroying structures and roadways, hitting the Manitou Springs area very hard causing manhole covers to erupt in geysers in city streets and exten-sive damage all through that town.

Students flock to Job FairBy Pat [email protected]

Hopes and dreams, along with the flurry of applications, are part of any job fair. In Cripple Creek last week, youthful applicants surveyed the range of employers at the Young Adult Job Fair at the Aspen Mine Center.

The event, sponsored by the Pikes Peak Workforce Center, at-tracted nearly 140 hopefuls and 17 potential employers.

For Shyla Disernia, 19, the fair opened up possibilities for a sec-ond job. A barista at the Double Eagle Casino, Disernia applied for a position as a program coordina-tor at the city’s parks and recre-ation department.

A full-time student at Cripple Creek/Victor High School, who, in the past, worked two jobs, is undaunted by repeating the cy-cle. “I need a little extra money,” she said.

Disernia, who is expecting a baby in July, plans to attend Aims College in Greeley in the fall. With a $500 scholarship from the Two Mile High Club, Disernia has a head start on financial aid.

“I want to be an EMT first and then a cardiac surgeon,” she said.

Disernia captures glowing re-ports from Loyd Mowery, who teaches the Senior Seminar class, which provides career mentoring from area professionals. “She’s a

wonderful young lady,” Mowery said.

Thanks to Mike Perini, of the public-relations firm Perini & As-sociates in Woodland Park, the students learn how to build an effective resume. “The class gives the kids the tools to get where they want to go,” Mowery said.

For students interested in working outside, Wendie War-ner, with Coalition for the Upper South Platte, was planning to hire three hearty teens to build, repair and maintain 14 miles of trails at Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument.

At $12 an hour, the teenag-ers will work eight to 10 hours a week from June 3 to Sept. 28. The project is funded by a grant to the National Park Foundation.

For Sarah Elizaldi, a senior at the high school, the fair presents opportunities for a second job. Employed by the Double Eagle Hotel in Cripple Creek, Elizaldi hopes to go to culinary school. “She’s a great cook,” Mowery said.

While filling out an applica-tion for the Triple Crown casinos, Tarah Ruiz has positive reviews for her first job fair. “It’s exciting; there’s a high-energy level here,” she said.

Applicants to the Cripple Creek & Victor Mining Co. were asked to check the mine’s website if they wanted to consider em-ployment at the mine. “We have 10 positions available,” said Lori

Gray, the mine’s human-resource representative. “We are seeing lots of growth at the mine.”

The job fair is part of a state-wide program for students.

“Ohmygosh, they are so well-prepared,” said Felicia Barbera, Governor’s Summer Job Hunt Co-ordinator. “They know what value they could bring to the employer.

What an asset to the community these students are.”

Hank Nelson represents the workforce center at the Aspen Mine Center in Cripple Creek.

Sarah Elizaldi, a senior at Cripple Creek/Victor High School, talks to Wendie Warner about the possibilities of working on a crew with Coalition for the Upper South Platte. Elizaldi already has a job but wants another one to help her go to culinary school in the fall.

Alcohol suspected in crashBy Pat [email protected]

Three Colorado Springs men were tak-en to Penrose Main Hospital after a one-car crash that happened around 10 p.m. April 25. The car, a 2005 Hyundai Tucson was traveling northbound on Teller Coun-ty Road 81 when the driver veered to the right and hit a tree. The car rolled one and a half times, landing on the car’s roof and ejecting two occupants, the driver, Dallas

Burke, 21, and Miguel Camargo, 22.The two walked to a guard station at the

Cripple Creek & Victor Mining Co. where they called authorities. The two were taken by ambulance to Penrose Main.

The third passenger, George Robles, 21, was flown to Penrose Main and was listed in serious condition.

According to a spokesperson for the Colorado State Patrol, alcohol is suspected in the crash.

Volunteers extraordinaire, Steve Jeroslow, Maureen O’Heren and Christy Blue were honored last week for more than five years of service to Pikes Peak Regional Hospital. “I’m just so grateful for these volunteers who have been willing to roll up their sleeves and take on any task,” said Arianne Randolph, the hospital’s human-resources direc-tor. “This hospital is made possible because of people like you.”

Jeroslow is a volunteer-of-all-trades, does a little bit of everything. “I sit at the front desk, walk people to hospi-tal rooms to visit patients,” he said. “If people are lonely, I have a conversation with them. I feel very proud to receive this award.”

Retired nurse, O’Heren works at the front desk and helps maintain the medical records. “I like the hospital at-mosphere,” she said.

O’Heren signed on to volunteer soon after the hospital opened Oct. 1, 2007. Not only is she reliable but she lives nearby. “When they’re in a bind, they call me,” she said.

In fact, O’Heren got so involved she accepted a paid po-sition and works one day a week at the front desk.

Blue was not able to attend the ceremony. For the past six years, she has greeted patients and visitors at the front desk.

“There is a lot of energy and excitement from the vol-unteer perspective,” said Eric Riggle, director of marketing and public relations and master of ceremonies.

Accepting his award, Jeroslow said. “There is a warm feeling here at the hospital; this is a jewel in the commu-nity.”

Maureen O’Heren and Steve Jeroslow were honored with an appreciation ceremony for their volunteer service to the Pikes Peak Regional Hospital. Each has served more than five years doing a variety of tasks. The two, in addition to Christy Blue, have their names engraved on a plaque to be placed in the hospital foyer, the first of a tradition. Photo by Pat Hill

Council fills board, committee seatsTables Teller County Waste decision to July, pending litigationBy Norma EngelbergContributing writer

The first order of business for Wood-land Park Mayor Dave Turley at the May 1 council meeting was to proclaim May 21 as Arbor Day in the city and encourage people to plant trees, but not too close to their homes.

“There is a fine balance between tree planting and fuel clearing,” he said.

Next, council reappointed Trudie Lay-ton, Sherry Noonan-Carr and Panchita Os-borne to the Parks & Recreation Advisory Board and appointed Ginger Williams to fill an additional vacancy. Council also re-appointed Lee Willoughby and Rick McVey to the Utilities Advisory Committee, ap-pointed former Councilmember Eric Smith, who served as council liaison to the committee for the past six years, and reap-pointed Renee Bunting as an alternate.

“It takes a while to get up to speed (on utilities),” Smith said. “It just made sense for me to continue to serve on the commit-tee.”

Councilmember Ken Matthews encour-aged citizens to sign up as alternates. “This is not an easy thing to learn,” he said. “Be-ing an alternate opens up an opportunity to learn the lingo.”

After all the appointments were made, Osborne, Willoughby, McVey, Smith and Bunting were sworn in by City Clerk Cindy Morse. The rest of the appointees will be sworn in before their next board or com-mittee meeting.

The council approved on initial posting an ordinance that would vacate an unim-proved portion of Aspen Street. The public hearing is set for May 15. It also approved a conditional use permit request to change a model home on Sundial Drive into a mixed use building that could include two com-mercial offices, one office and an apart-ment or two apartments.

City Planning Director Sally Riley said this case could lead to a change in city or-dinances that would allow mixed-use proj-ects for one or two units without a con-ditional use permit. “We wouldn’t allow a large number of units without a permit,” she said.

Riley also clarified how the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department will view single-family homes with accessory dwell-ing units. These will be considered single-family units with two full kitchens. Be-cause they remain under the homeowner’s control they will not be duplexes, which implies dual ownership, or two-family structures.

“We have had several inquiries about ADUs and our application form is ready,” Riley said.

Last year, when the city annexed prop-erty at 1000 and 1050 County Road 231 (West Street) where Jay Baker, owner of Teller County Waste, plans to expand his

business, Teller County took exception to the annexation and filed suit in district court to reverse council’s decision. That litigation is still pending and a decision on Baker’s conditional use permit, special use permit and site plan review requests will have to wait on the courts. His requests were tabled to the July 17 council meeting.

Brian Fleer, executive director of the Woodland Park Downtown Development Authority and the city’s Office of Com-munity Development made his monthly report to council. He said the authority is working with the Woodland Station Lot 2 Amerigas Development Team on offsite in-frastructure requirements.

“What we learn will be carried over to other Woodland Station Lots,” he said.

The Main Street Program committee is meeting weekly to work on its applica-tion to the state that is due July 1. Fleer is also working with the county assessor on a commercial property database and in-ventory that will be easily updated. He will present the database to council at a future meeting.

“People can see the work going on at the Tractor Supply Co. site,” he said. “The owners jumped on construction quickly and are projecting an opening date in early August.”

He is also working on fundraising to off-set the moneys the city will spend on the Pro Challenge USA Cycling Race in August.

City Manager David Buttery reported that two private entities want to sponsor the construction of a dog park in the city. “We’ve always thought a dog park would be a good idea but we never wanted to spend the money developing one,” he said.

Teller County Waste will have to wait a few more months before Woodland Park City Council can decide on two permits and a site-plan review of its owner’s plan to expand. Teller County has filed suit in District Court to reverse the city’s decision ot annex a portion of land for the project. Photos by Norma Engelberg

Construction is well along on the new Tractor Supply Co. retail store at Colo. 67 at Spruce Haven Road. TSC stores are a common site all over the Midwest but the company is now expanding into new territory.

Signs have gone up identifying the site for a new Tractor Supply Co. retail store on North Colo. 67 in Woodland Park. The new store is shooting for an early August opening.


6-OPINION

Solid Muldoon had its dayThe Solid Muldoon, of Ouray, wasn’t as

durable as its name suggested, surviving as a weekly newspaper only until 1892, but its spirit will likely live on forever. The name crops up again and again in the west – recently, for example, as one of the ski runs for the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics – but it had its Day.

The Solid Muldoon didn’t pull its punches. Local historian, Duane A. Smith, records that Col. David Day, a Medal of Honor winner for heroism at Vicksburg, Miss., “had the distinction of having 42 libel suits pending at the same time [in 1900] for his raw and bitter articles in The Solid Muldoon newspaper of Ouray and Durango.” Day was known nationwide for his caustic wit, honesty, and bitter sar-casm. His fame even spread to England, where Queen Victoria was said to have read the Muldoon for many years. Dave Day’s outspokenness was legendary and according to his wife Victoria, “he was not afraid of the devil himself.”

“He became protector, defender, guardian, and spokesman for a generation of southwest Coloradoans. His newspaper was small, but his voice was big, and he covered the San Juans with a steady thun-

der that lingers to this day,” wrote John H. Monnett and Michael McGarthy in their 1987 book, Colorado Profiles: Men and Women who shaped the Centennial State.

But how did the paper get its unusual name?

The original Solid Muldoon was the name given to a mysterious “prehistoric human body” dug up near Beulah, Colo., in 1877. The 71/2-foot stone man was thought to be the “missing link” between apes and humans. “There can be no ques-tion about the genuineness of this piece of statuary,” said the Denver Daily Times.

It was later revealed that George Hull, perpetrator of a previous hoax featuring the Cardiff Giant, had spent three years fashioning his second “petrified man,” us-

ing mortar, rock dust, clay, plaster, ground bones, blood, and meat. He kiln-fired the figure for many days and then buried it.

A few months later, as the celebration of Colorado’s year-old statehood ap-proached, the statue was “discovered” by William Conant, who had once worked for the legendary showman P.T. Barnum. News of the find quickly spread to Denver and eventually New York.

The statue was named the Solid Mul-doon after William Muldoon, a famous boxer, wrestler and strongman who had been honored in a popular song. Dis-played in New York, the “body” attracted large crowds until a business associate of Hull’s revealed the hoax to the New York Tribune.

Day, who had apparently met Muldoon in an earlier stint in New York, and despite the fighter never having won a bout, but never taking a dive or quitting, Day had been impressed by his tenacity.

Day, fascinated by the story and the name, called his Ouray paper the Solid Muldoon. Rudyard Kipling, as famous in England as Whitman was in the United States, later wrote a short story titled “The Solid Mul-

doon,” published in 1890.Other samples of his caustic wit:“The doctors have given up all hope of

saving the year 1893 and death is expected inside of three days.” (Solid Muldoon, Dec. 29, 1893)

The Muldoon also frequently at-tacked local mining entrepreneur John R. Curry and others calling him among other things, “a despicable, filthy liar and whiskey bloat,” and “libel on the name of a dog” with the “conscience of Judas Iscariot” and the “appetite and feeling of a hyena without its honor.”

He also famously, a fearlessly took on the rail roads, other newspapers, state and local politicians, and ended up having to publish the paper more than once from a jail cell, according to Monnett and Mc-Carthy.

David Day moved south from Ouray as silver market ebbed, to the more-happen-ing town of Durango and continued on in the publishing business. The Muldoon combined operations with the Durango Herald and latter separated again and

Old ‘Uncle Dick,’ the mountain man

Maybe you have heard of this guy. He was one of the first pioneers in this area. He was what was known as a “mountain man.”

He came to what would be Denver in about 1858. He had already roamed the west from Taos to California for nearly 20 years. His name was Richens L. Woot-ton, but everyone was calling him “Uncle Dick.”

In late 1859 he had enough of “town life” and wanted room. He headed south.

After a short stay in what we now call Manitou Springs, he settled on the prairie along the Fountain River, half way be-tween present day Pueblo and Fountain. He built a house in Pueblo, just for when he wanted to come to town, but he farmed along the river raising corn and grain. For three years he led the farming life. In 1864 the area flooded, wiping out Dick’s crops. A wall of water said to be 15-feet deep rushed down into the Arkansas River. It took nine lives in the area as well.

The plains Indians were threaten-

ing farmers and ranchers on the eastern plains and he decided to move. He had a good working relationship with the Utes and Indians to their south, so he picked up his belongings and moved to the moun-tains.

He had been in the area of the Miranda Land Grant in New Mexico several times. He had been through the mountains south of Trinidad. It was a difficult trail. In the 1840s the U.S. Army had tried to make it

NORAD has been around for 56 yearsNORAD is a name many of us are

familiar with. It stands for North American Aerospace Defense Command. It is a com-bined organization of the United States and Canada that provides aerospace warning, air sovereignty, and defense for North America,

The headquarters for NORAD and the NORAD/USNORTHCOM command center are located at Peterson Air Force Base. Nearby Cheyenne Mountain nuclear bunker has the Alternative Command Center.

The North American Air (later Aero-space) Defense Agreement, which brought the U.S. and Canada together in joint-air defense, is an interesting story of how two separate countries used shared geography to help each other and themselves.

NORAD grew out of the two countries’ air force. They worked together to come up with a plan for North America’s air defense.

A Military Study Group Report was created in 1956 and was approved by the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff and Canadian Chiefs of Staff, and the American Govern-ment. The Canadian Government, on the other hand, took longer because of an election on the horizon in 1957.

NORAD was created - unofficially - in

September 1957. But the idea for such an alliance was around as early as the 1940s.

Everything was made official with the signing of the NORAD Agreement on May 12, 1958. The main headquarters were lo-cated at ENT Air Force Base in downtown Colorado Springs. Today, the United States Olympic Training Center is on the land.

Defense sharing between Canada and the U.S. dates back to World War I with an agreement that allowed munitions shar-ing. The first official agreement was the 1940 Ogdensburg Declaration, followed by the Hyde Park Agreement in April 1941.

Despite these and other committees, there was less interest in defense sharing after World War II. In 1947 it became obvi-ous again when the Soviet Union, led by Josef Stalin, forced the U.S. and Canada to come up with the Joint Industrial Mobili-zation Committee. In 1949 both govern-

ments shared ideas, technology and trade.Not all of Canada recognized the need

for combined air defense right away. Canada did not always hold its air defense as high as other countries. Canada came around, especially after the hydrogen bomb was tested by the Soviet Union.

NORAD had different meanings to different people. Some thought of it as the building, some thought of it as a big bunker inside Cheyenne Mountain (I am in that camp) and others still think of it as a symbol of North America.

NORAD thrived during the Cold War as the arms race heated up.

By 1968, 14 percent of NORAD person-nel were Canadian. They were involved in many aspects, including in NORAD Head-quarters - which became active in 1966 at Cheyenne Mountain.

By the 1960s and into the 1970s - even though the Cold War was in full force - NORAD’s value was waning. The main threat to the continent became ICBMs (In-tercontinental Ballistic Missiles) instead of bombers. Because of this change, NORAD in the 1970s had become more of an alert system then an actual defense one.

The number of interceptors in NORAD dropped from 3,000 (200 Canadian) in 1960 to 300 (36 Canadian) by the end of

the 1970s.In the 1970s with the Anti-Ballistic Mis-

sile Treaty limited each superpower to two defensive missile sites. It was unknown where air defense was headed. There was even talk of shutting down NORAD

NORAD boundaries were redone in 1982 to fit the borders of each country.

In 1989 NORAD operations expanded to cover counter-drug operations, e.g., tracking of small aircraft entering and op-erating within the U.S. and Canada. DEW line sites were replaced between 1986 and 1995 by the North Warning System. The Cheyenne Mountain site was also upgraded.

After the September 11, 2001, Islamic terrorist attacks on America’s eastern sea-board, the NORAD Air Warning Center’s mission expanded to include the interior airspace of North America.

The Cheyenne Mountain Realign-ment was announced in 2006 to consoli-date NORAD’s day-to-day operations at Peterson Air Force Base, with Cheyenne Mountain in warm standby staffed with support personnel.

And let’s not forget that NORAD has been tracking Santa Claus’ journey around the world each Christmas Eve for more than 50 years.

Eugenie Van Drooge Kiss-inger, longtime resident of Divide, Colorado and former board president of United Way of Long Island, New York, died in Palm Desert, California on Sat-urday, April 26.

Mrs. Kissinger played a key role in supporting service organizations in New York, California and Colorado.

Following her retirement from United Way, Mrs. Kissinger and her husband of 55 years, Walter B Kiss-inger, established a new home in Colorado Springs and, later, Divide, in Teller County, where they built their beloved Lazy K Ranch and raised Arabian horses. They also remained active supporting charitable or-

ganizations in New York, Colorado and California through the Kissinger Family Foundation. Walter Kissinger is the former President and Board Chair-man of the Allen Group and the brother of former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.

Mrs. Kissinger attended St. Lawrence University and the Harvard/Radcliffe Program in Business Administration. Until the very end she enjoyed

a good game of Scrabble and the Sunday New York Times crossword puzzle. She was known for her ready smile, her raucous laugh and her keen interest in people. She is survived by her husband Walter, her sisters Ellen Kirby of Heathsville, Virginia and Valerie Van Drooge of Monroe, Connecticut, her four children, William Kissinger of Mill Valley, California, Thomas Kiss-inger of Boulder, Colorado, Dana Kissinger Matray of Villars-Sous-Yens, Switzer-land, John Kissingford of Ouray, Colorado, and eight grandchildren.

Contributions in her name may be made to the Family Service League of Long Island.

Robert Brown Callan (Bob) died on April 10, 2014 at his home in Floris-sant which he shared with his wife, Marilyn Callan. He was 92. Born in Waco, Texas, the youngest of seven brothers, he was the last of his generation.

After a year at Texas A&M, Bob received an appoint-ment to the US Military Academy at West Point, NY, graduating with a B.S. in Engineering in the D-day Class, June 6, 1944. Subse-quent to WWII he gradu-ated with a Master’s in Elec-trical Engineering from the University of Illinois. Bob became a USAAC fighter pi-lot who never saw an enemy plane; instructing other pilots in combat (aerobatic) flying. He flew many types of planes and during the Cold War was a jet bomber pilot of B-47’s in SAC; later involved with ICBM’S. He was a military man who came to abhor war, while acknowledging that at

times it was unavoidable, in keeping with several icons of modern military history. After a career in the US Air Force, Bob went with Hughes Aircraft, then leader in the beginning sat-ellite and space programs. He travelled the world for Hughes, was a mission-controller on the first soft landing on the moon by an instrumental spacecraft (Surveyor) to verify the lunar surface for manned flight, and was involved in seven other space shots.

After a career with Hughes he and his wife, Marilyn, began a series of adventures in their RV; from spending summers volunteering in the Brooks Range inside the Arctic Circle in Alaska, following the Trail of Lewis & Clark for five months including a week on the Missouri River with their canoe, to the next wave of history, the Mountain Men, when the Callans became re-enac-

tors and attended authentic rendezvous’ around the west.

Settling in Florissant, Bob took pleasure in his love of history, reading liter-ally hundreds of books on all eras, from Greece and Rome through modern times, the Civil War being his favorite. He wrote a book about his life which remains unpublished, its purpose to reflect on various events to discover meanings not evident at the time. Bob leaves his devoted wife, Marilyn Callan, esteemed nephews Mike (Sandra) Callan and Tom Callan, both of Texas, and many friends whose lives he touched. His quiet strength, wisdom, and gen-tleness will be remembered by those who loved him. He was cremated according to his wishes; a Celebration of Life will be held at a later time. “We will meet again as equal parts of One Great Life.” –Frank Waters

became the Durango Democrat. He con-tinued writing almost to the end. When he died in 1914, the Democrat eulogized, “He lived and died a square man. Even his enemies respected him for his integrity.

His Son, Rod Day, took over editorship of the paper.

Of editors and publishers, historically speaking, I feel that we have it pretty good nowadays. As evidence, I offer the fol-lowing account from Duane Smith’s 1992 book on the history of the Durango Herald provided to me by David Staats, the for-mer managing editor of the southwestern Colorado daily.

“The long standing newspaper rivalry (between the Durango Democrat and Herald) thundered violently over Durango

when Rod Day shot and killed the Herald’s city editor, William Wood. The incident was sparked by a series of ‘newspapers exchanges,’ ‘joshing comments’ from each about the other’s violation of prohibition,” according to Smith’s report.

“Monday morning, April 24, 1922, shortly before noon, marked the nadir of Durango’s newspaper history. The published facts depend on which paper one reads, but one or the other of the men prowled Main’s 900 block looking for his antagonist. Their meeting prompted and aggressive attack by one of them upon his rival. Day suffered a broken nose before firing, after which he entered a nearby barbershop, cleaned himself up, and surrendered. The coroner’s jury made no recommendation. Day, however was forced to stand trial in the District Court for murder; he was acquitted.”

Rod Day sold the Democrat in 1924 but helped start another rival paper in Durango in 1930.

an easy route to Santa Fe. He approached the grant, since it was on their land, about doing some work on it.

He was given a portion of the land if he could make it more usable. He built a better trail, and charged a toll to use it. For most of the rest of his life he watched the pass become more and more valuable to travelers.

He had a large two story adobe house a few miles up the road, where he collected the toll. In 1877 he helped the Santa Fe

railroad fight off the advances of General Palmer’s Denver and Rio Grande railroad. Both wanted to use the pass, but Wootton decided it would be the Santa Fe’s path. The railroad built on to California, but Wootton still charged to get over his toll road on Raton Pass. He even had a free pass to ride the Santa Fe anywhere or any time. He spent his last years in the valley where Interstate 25 passes by. The old house was lost many years ago, but the Santa Fe had a big sign pointing out Uncle Dick’s ranch.

Now it looks like the last passenger train over the pass may not go this way anymore. Amtrak is thinking about by-passing southern Colorado.

The Lazarus effect: Brought back from the deadHere’s some good news for the “selfie”

generation … their obsession with the existence of zombies may be coming true. Sam Parnia, a British doctor who is head of intensive care at Stony Brook University Hospital in New York, claims it’s possible to be brought back from the dead.

In his book, “The Lazarus Effect: The Science That is Rewriting the Boundaries Between Life and Death,” Parnia states, “It is my belief that anyone who dies of a cause that is reversible should not really die anymore. That is: every heart attack victim should no longer die.”

It would be easy to dismiss Parnia as some sort of quack if his hospital did not have a 33-percent success rate of bring-ing cardiac arrest patients back from the dead. The survival rate in the average American hospital is only 16 percent.

You may have caught Parnia on the April 27 CBS Sunday Morning Show spe-cial “That’s Life” (http://www.cbsnews.com/news/brought-back-from-the-

dead/). The program opens with the tale of Joe Tiralosi age 56, who suddenly one day, “just wasn’t feeling like myself.”

Tiralosi drove himself to the hospital, walked into the ER and promptly dropped dead. “It was like they shut the lights out and I just suddenly collapsed and fell to the floor, he said. “My heart stopped, and the nurse was … I heard screaming. And that was it.”

Luckily for Tiralosi, that wasn’t it. Numerous doctors and nurses took turns giving him CPR for an estimated 4,500

chest compressions over a 40-minute period. That, plus an hour in a cooling suit that dramatically dropped his body tem-perature slowing tissue damage, especially brain tissue, brought him back from the dead.

When asked by CBS reporter Tracy Smith, “What’d they give you that day,” Ti-ralosi responded, “Well, they gave my life back; they gave me a chance to live again.”

Cooling, says Parnia, “buys us time.”“So, for example, if somebody were to

suddenly collapse and die at home, what we could do is go into the freezer and take out frozen peas, frozen vegetables, put them on the body and try to do CPR at the same time, so we can slow down the rate by which they’re getting brain damage.”

Parnia also contends that the survival rate of heart attacks in the United States is so low because we give up on CPR too soon. “A lot of doctors will stop compres-sions after about 20 minutes,” he said. “But we know from research that if you go

for 40 minutes to an hour, your chances of bringing someone back to life is much, much higher.”

In his book, the doctor contends that if doctors would switch from manual CPR to CPR machines; cool the body down to preserve brain cells; and use the ECMO technique of siphoning blood out of the body, running it through an oxygenator and pumping it back in; you could double the survival rate of heart attack victims with no brain damage.

Get under the bed … the zombies are coming!

letters to the editor

Dear Editor:You know the building at 1200 E. U.S.

24 in Woodland Park, on the north side by the Chinese restaurant?

We bought that building two years ago. We had some ideas on how to give it a new image. The building was listed for sale with a local Realtor. The county assessor, Betty Clark-Wine, had it assessed at $550,000. We bought the building for $275,000, exactly half of the assessed value.

Our first offer had been $250,000. Another offer was made at the same time for the same amount as ours. (We didn’t know at the time about the other offer.) The seller countered at $300,000, and we compromised at $275,000. The other pur-chaser dropped out. So there should have been no question about actual value.

Why was it assessed at such a high value? Because the owner was out of town, even out of state and didn’t know the market? Maybe he assumed the local folks had his back. Sure, if he was nuts, he might think that. Why are so many out-of state owners assessed at high values? Is it because they must either spend a bunch of money to come here to investigate values and file their protests? Some people hire me to do that, because they know me

and don’t have time or money.Apparently Wine didn’t have a clue

about the market either. Why should she, other than it’s her job? Why did she have the building assessed so high? Had she ever looked at it? Didn’t she know the market was and is severely depressed. The few buildings sold went for dimes on the dollar. “For Sale” signs littered U.S. 24. And values kept going up, since few objected. Taxes rose. Call it the price of being an out-of-town landlord. For the county assessor, it was the gift that just kept on giving, like Obamacare.

Even after we bought the property for $275,000, Wine revalued it at $356,000. Why? The deed clearly indicated we paid $275,000. So did the property value state-ment we were legally required to submit with the deed. Perhaps she thought we had stolen the property, maybe because the prior owner was out of town and had no sense of its value. But she did, and she wasn’t about to let piracy influence her. That was the implication when I filed a protest. We had to fax copies of the signed settlement sheets to prove again we weren’t lying. Then I traveled to the court-house to argue my point.

How could Wine say a property was worth more than I paid on an open and

free market, where the property had been for sale for months and months, and nobody had made an acceptable offer? Maybe you can answer. I sure can’t. Oh, I can make something up, but that would be pure fiction, something Wine might be good at.

I finally won the valuation game and got the value reduced to $275,000. Then I

filed for an abatement, because I had been forced at closing to pay the back taxes on the old assessed value that was twice the true value. That abatement was filed in December 2013. Nobody called to say it had been received. I had to call them.

Las Casas gets a spruce upBy Pat [email protected]

Digging trenches, laying sod, building fences and putting a playground set together, for 33 students from CIVA Charter High School in Colorado Springs, the May Day project came with mul-tiple benefits.

For Teller County Habitat for Humanity, the student project at Las Casas townhomes in Woodland Park was a lucky break for the nonprofit organization.

“We wanted to do something to give back to the community,” said Ashlea Johnson, who, with two other teachers, spearheaded the project. “This is outdoor experiential learning for the seniors.”

Paul Summeril, Habitat’s site supervisor, oversaw the project while Jamie Caperton, the organization’s executive director, was observed with shovel in hand.

With 33 hungry teenagers awaiting sustenance, members of the Pikes Peak Rotary Club showed up with a grill and dozens of ham-burgers.

Then it was one stall after another. At one point I en-countered Wine at a political function. She said she might allow for my abatement for one year but not two, since I had only paid one year’s taxes. I replied that the county still owed a refund to the prior owner. She claimed he had to apply for himself. I replied he had no standing since he no longer owned the property. I cited case law which allowed me to apply for him. She backed away.

The county assessor has up to six months to respond to an abatement request. Guess whose desk the abate-ment request is sitting on? Yep. Wine’s. Six months will be up on June 12, 2014. That’s a month and a half away. Is it possible Betty doesn’t like me? I can see why. I do not fear her, which seems to make her motor run.

Will my abatement be upheld? Probably not. She will come up with some half-baked reason for denying it. Then I will have to appeal to the county’s Board of Equal-ization. There is no easy road with Sweet Betty. She has her way, and your job is to pretend to like it.

She’s like Bellicose Barack. Maybe even has a picture of him hanging on her wall. Next to Lois Lerner. Look at the cover-ups, none of which had anything to do with him, of course.

Is this the kind of assessor we want? As taxpayers, don’t we at least deserve honesty, truth, and a fair hear-

ing instead of decrees and obfuscations? It’s difficult to argue with the purposely deaf. I’m worn out from being overvalued and having to fight every two years over it. This year I won’t wait. I will fight now over a violation of her agreement of less than one year ago. When she can’t even keep an agreement from one year to the next it’s past time for a reckoning. No wonder many local businessmen have closed or sold and gone downtown where they find taxes lower.

I’m backing Violet Watt. I asked her one day why she wanted to be assessor. She said earnestly, “Because the people of Teller County deserve better than they’re get-ting.” She is honest and forthright. She studies hard and knows her stuff. She promises to be a real assessor, not someone obsessed with herself. I’m full of masqueraders who start out ignorant and spiral down.

Sincerely, Ken Bauer Woodland Park

Dear Editor:I wish to applaud the efforts of the Rev. David Shaw

with respect to the minimum wage issue. I have always believed that a business whose profit model is based upon non-living wages for fully employed adults or restricting employment hours to avoid paying a reason-able wage is fundamentally flawed and unethical. In my opinion, when these employees must rely on government subsidies to feed their families something is dreadfully wrong within that particular labor market sector.

Freedom within markets can provide many benefits to society. However, unregulated free markets can be a nightmare. We learned that lesson with the robber barons of the late 19th and early 20th century. Just recently we observed what unfettered capitalism leads to with the 100th anniversary of the Ludlow massacre.

Employers realize many benefits from society in the form of protections provided by the legal system and regulation ensuring a fair playing field. Employees likewise should be afforded protection from unfair and exploitative labor practices.

Sam Gould, Divide

Dear Editor:In response to Mr. Doug Bruce’s letter to the editor, Mr.

Bruce’s property reclassification has nothing to do with him or his politics. This was about his property.

This property has a long history. Based on numerous inspections, three very experienced appraisers recom-mended that Mr. Bruce’s property in Tranquil Acres be reclassified to a “minor structure on vacant land,” which is the state’s classification for sheds and outbuildings.

After reviewing the records and, based on the profes-sional opinions and judgment of the appraisers, I reclas-sified his property. Mr. Bruce appealed my decision to the county commissioners, who agreed with and upheld my decision.

Mr. Bruce appealed the Board’s decision to the Board of Assessment Appeals. My report for that hearing is ex-tensive and includes much supporting evidence, includ-ing pictures, inspection reports, and notices that include Mr. Bruce’s comments in 1997 that the “Property (is) not habitable.” The BAA reversed my decision because I did not provide bids to support the extensive repairs and reconstruction needed which would prove that the struc-ture does not contribute value to the land.

Mr. Bruce also filed a complaint with the Division of Property Taxation, alleging I lied, trespassed, and engaged in “other misconduct and abuse of legal standards.” He alleged that I engaged in political retaliation and that I

hired a high-priced Colorado Springs attorney instead of the county attorney. The DPT found insufficient evidence to recommend an order of reappraisal for that subclass of property and that my reclassification of Mr. Bruce’s prop-erty was not arbitrary or capricious.

Mr. Bruce would not permit an interior or building department compliance inspection. While he alleges that I trespassed on his property, he advised me to “look in the windows” to confirm that it had a living room, kitchen, etc. He later denied saying this and accused me of tres-passing. The DPT informed him that this matter is outside of its jurisdiction.

Mr. Bruce’s letter to the editor states he has owned this empty duplex for 22 years and two previous asses-sors agreed in writing it was residential. Staff brought Mr. Bruce’s property to my attention twice and, after much discussion, we agreed not to ‘kick the can down the road’ again.

Mr. Bruce has appealed his property numerous times over the years. In 2009, his appeal states that he pur-chased it for $7,000 and that it was still boarded up. He wrote, “It has broken windows, a worn-out roof, bad floor coverings, and is not habitable. There have been no major improvements in the last two years.” He also wrote, “I don’t recall a forced air furnace in the house; it may have been stolen.”

In 2011, Mr. Bruce wrote, “...your office “forgot” to credit me with a 50 percent condition discount.” and, “I bought it at auction about 20 years ago, for $7,000, sight unseen. Apart from an electrical turn on and removing trash and weeds, no improvements have been made. There has been 20 years’ worth of offsetting depreciation in the roof and rest of the building. It is boarded up, has broken windows, no appliances, etc. It was vandalized. You list it as having zero bathrooms. You incorrectly list it as a duplex, but it has only one stripped kitchen area. I recall only two bedrooms, not three. There is no dividing wall, separate utility service, separate front doors, sepa-rate living rooms, etc. It has a small plywood playroom planted over the ceiling, with a hole in the roof but no ac-cess. The roof probably leaks and the plumbing condition is poor. I don’t recall seeing any forced air or other heating system.”

In 2011, Mr. Bruce stated that the dwelling was NOT a duplex, yet in his letter and appeal he stated that it is a duplex. Over the years, Mr. Bruce has repeatedly sought large value reductions on the basis that the property was in major disrepair and uninhabitable, yet his letter and appeal states that it needs “cosmetic work.” And what about the water and septic systems have not been used for over 25 years?

Mr. Bruce’s alleges I hired a ‘pricey lawyer” instead of the county attorney and went to Denver for the appeal. I did not hire a pricey lawyer. In an appeal hearing, the assessor is the witness for the defendant, the county com-missioners acting as the County Board of Equalization. The Board is required to be represented by an attorney. The deputy county attorney represented the Board at the hearing.

Since Mr. Bruce has left out certain facts and con-clusions, and alleges violations of the law and abuse of authority, I have posted the findings of the Division of Property Taxation, the Board of Assessment Appeals decision, and the Assessor’s Report in Support of Reclas-sification on the Assessor website at www.co.teller.co.us/Assessor under “Douglas Bruce Complaint.”

Sincerely,Betty Clark-Wine

Teller County Assessor

A capacity crowd of more than 200 people came to support the Flo-rissant Grange No. 420 fundraising efforts for a new roof on the 1880s-era schoolhouse. The event was held on Saturday, April 26 and drew 15 chili submissions for the cook-off and 17 homemade pies for the silent auction.

“We had 200-plus people attend and our fundraising event was a huge success putting us closer to getting the new roof. I know that this is the largest crowd we have ever had because for the first time in six years we ran out of chili,” Grange Secretary Renee Caldwell said.

The eclectic array of chilies ranged from the exotic to the traditional and included nuanced tastes such as “Navajo-inspired” green chili, bi-son chili and Colorado home brew.

Master of Ceremonies and Grange Grand Master Alan Caldwell an-nounced the winners as: “Voodoo Green Chili” by Piper Best — first place; “Kick-Ass Chili” by Linda Appelbaum — second place and “White Chicken Chili” by Lynn Chance — third place.

The People’s Choice prize winner was “Everyone Digs My Chili” by Jerry Alexander, whose chili was chosen by those who used their five tickets received when paying their entrance fee and placing their “vote” into the cup of their favorite chili. Alexander’s chili garnered 110 votes and was the clear crowd favorite.

The first-place chili won $100; second place, $75; third place, $50; and the winner of the People’s Choice Award received $25.

“As is tradition, the winners donated all or part of their winnings back to the Grange for this fundraising event,” Caldwell said.

For the silent pie auction, 17 pies were donated with none going for less than $10 and the top bid for the maple creme apple pie coming in at $32. The homemade pies were donated by community supporters and Grange members and included blueberry tarts, apple strudel and chocolate creme, to name a few.

“The silent pie auction is always so very much fun and a great way to raise money for our new roof at the Grange. We are not there yet ... but we are on our way. Hopefully this summer we will get a new roof,” Caldwell said.

Entertainment included award-winning cowgirl poet, singer and songwriter Susie Knight, local musician and songwriter Rich Currier, vocalist and guitarist Mel March, the Elbert Sisters, vocalist and guitar-ist Tom Mnich, Jim and Jean DeSmidt who played bluegrass-style mu-sic accompanied by bass player Paul, Leisha Lanz and Alan and Renee Caldwell.

“The Chili Cook-off and Entertainment and Pie Auction is the largest fundraising event each year at the Grange. The Grange wants to thank everyone who attended and helped to make the event a success once again,” Caldwell said.

Summit students pick up tips from JABy For the Courier

More than 30 volunteers participated in the Junior Achievement in a Day curricu-lum April 4 at Summit Elementary School in Divide.

Guided by classroom volunteers, more than 285 students learned about finan-cial literacy from interactive programs designed to teach personal finance, work readiness, entrepreneurship, and econom-ic skills to empower young people to own their economic success.

Business volunteers represented the

North Teller Build a Generation, Vectra Bank, Peoples Bank and Woodland Park SCORE. Mayor Dave Turley, Teller County Sheriff Mike Ensminger, Woodland Park City Attorney Erin Smith, Teller County Commissioner Marc Dettenrieder and Woodland Park Councilmen Robert Carl-son and Gary Brovetto also participated. Service club volunteers represented the Kiwanis Club of Ute Pass.

JA’s volunteer-delivered, K-12 programs foster work-readiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy skills and use experi-ential learning to inspire kids to dream big and reach their potential.

Through engaging activities students also learned about science, technology, engineering, and math skills and resourc-es. “The fourth-grade curriculum can be fairly sophisticated,” Erin Smith said. “Summit Elementary school teacher, Me-lissa Bucher, was a wonderful resource to have in the classroom and she had great conceptual input.”

“The students and staff of Summit El-ementary had a fabulous day of learn-ing and exploration as they were lead through multiple lessons with their com-munity volunteers,” said Katie Rexford, the school’s principal. “The volunteers were

fun and engaging as they brought learning to life for our Summit Eagles! Thank you Junior Achievement for making this day possible.”

Summit Elementary School sponsored breakfast for the JA volunteers and the sheriff’s office provided Domino’s pizza for lunch. The JA in a Day event was made possible in large part by a grant from the Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Co.

JA in a Day program will be held at Gateway Elementary May 19. For more in-formation, contact Sherri L. Albertson at (719) 650-4089 or via email to [email protected] for more information.

Ages mix at high school eventBy Pat [email protected]

The jazz band played on, the Madri-gals sang and the Pitch Perfect Panthers serenaded 70 senior citizens at the annual breakfast hosted by the Woodland Park High School student council.

Honored guests were treated to kid-glove service by council members as well as middle-school students from the Builders Club.

Efficient and engaged, the servers made sure glasses were kept filled with orange juice and cups re-filled with coffee.

“It’s nice being with the crowd,” said Joan Stover who, with her husband, Jim, was enjoying the breakfast of scrambled eggs, potatoes, bacon and fresh-baked pas-tries, courtesy of the school’s pastry chef, Angie Hensinger. “And it’s fun to get out.”

For Superintendent Jed Bowman, the event is a way to honor the area’s senior citizens while, at the same time, showcase student talent that included the choirs from the middle school and Summit El-ementary as well as the jazz band from the middle school.

“I love it because we get the opportu-nity to reach out to the community,” said Ellie Miller, 11th-grade student at the high school. “The seniors are so kind.”

Pat Danielson, who is known for cook-ing at the senior center, considers the en-tertainment a key part of the occasion. “We always enjoy the Madrigal Singers,” she said.

Avery Roelof, who belongs to the Build-ers Club, joined the food line after serving beverages. “I like the seniors’ sense of hu-mor; they are really interesting,” he said. “Sometimes they want three cups of cof-fee!” Seventy senior citizens enjoyed breakfast at Woodland Park High School, courtesy of the student council and members of the Builders Club at the middle school.

and City Manager David Buttery both said there is little they can do except moni-tor the situation because the highway be-longs to the state.

“We have the same concerns about traffic as you do,” Alspach said. “We re-ferred the traffic study to our own traffic consultant and even called in (Colorado Department of Transportation). This proj-ect meets the standards. We all know that drivers do wild and strange things. We can’t

mitigate everything.”On this project, Robert Kenny, owner of

Transportation Engineering Solutions Inc. said the restaurant would likely generate slightly fewer than 25 vehicle trips an hour at peak, just shy of enough traffic to trigger the need for a traffic light, a deceleration lane or other improvements.

However, at Sheridan Avenue and U.S. 24 where People’s Bank and the Woodland Exchange building are located, additional traffic generated by the Trail Ridge Apart-ments complex will be just enough to trig-ger highway improvements and CDOT re-quires the addition of a deceleration lane on eastbound U.S. 24 at the intersection.

This project will cost $241,000, of which

$177,522 will come from the city’s Trans-portation Capital Fees collected from de-velopers for use in street-improvement projects and $63,482 will come from Wood-land Park Associates, which owns the Trail Ridge development. Because the new de-celeration lane will change the topography at Sheridan, the city will make street and drainage improvements down Sheridan to the tune of $86,512.

The use of transportation capital fees for this project is based on an ordinance passed by city council in 1999. Buttery said at that time council decided that “when a project adds the ‘straw that breaks the camel’s back,’ the last straw shouldn’t be blamed for all the other straws.”

Despite language issues council had with the ordinance, City Attorney Erin Smith said using these funds this way is consistent with the state law on which the ordinance was based.

“This is in accord with the intent of the ordinance,” Turley said. “But we need to re-draft it to make that intent clear and soon.”

Woodland Park citizens will be seeing other road improvements this summer. Instead of focusing on improving indi-vidual streets as it has done in the past, public works will focus geographically, Al-spach said. Almost all the streets in a grid that runs from U.S. 24 to Kelley’s Road and from Colorado 67 to Park Street will be chip sealed this summer.

Where are they going to live? By Pat Hill [email protected]

Editor’s note: This is the sixth in a series about the ”Silver Tsunami,” a rush of baby boomers expected to be 20 percent of the U.S. population in the near future. Unlike in years past, the trend is the increase in life expectancy, thus putting a strain on services to accommodate senior needs, which in-clude housing.

As a fl ood tide of senior citizens hits the nation in what is known as the “silver tsunami,” the numbers challenge precon-ceived notions about morality, responsibil-ity and common sense.

The statistics are eye-popping. In Woodland Park, people 65 years and older are forecast to be 21.4 percent of the to-tal population, or 6,217 senior citizens by 2020. From 2000 to 2010, the 65-plus group grew from 7.5 to 13.2 percent.

“This could become a crisis. We, as a community, aren’t prepared to support that kind of growth, certainly not in hous-ing,” said John Schafer, who is dedicated to providing affordable housing for seniors as well as the city’s workforce.

Two years ago, he accepted a request to fi ll a vacancy on the city council. “I saw this as an opportunity to be a champion for af-fordable housing here in Woodland Park,” he said. “Maybe I could do some good there.”

Schafer’s fi rst victory was the council’s approval of accessory dwelling units, or “mother-in-law” apartments. “I worked a year on that,” Schafer said. “One thing I’ve learned is that you can’t get into too big a hurry with city government.”

Shrewd and savvy by now, Schafer asked for help. “I realized I didn’t have a lot of his-tory in the housing arena, or politics here, so I set up an advisory committee,” he said.

The committee members are people who have a stake in the community: Jim Ig-natius, Norm Steen, Steve Randolph, Brian Fleer, Jason Roshek, Bill Blackburn, Sally Riley and Schafer. “We began to recognize that the senior population was growing

rapidly,” he said.One member of the committee is the

executive director of the Offi ce of Down-town and Economic Development. “Brian (Fleer) and I talk about twice a month about how we might get together to build some senior housing,” Schafer said. “That’s what he and I are wrestling with.”

Cautious about revealing too much too soon, Schafer nonetheless hints at possi-bilities for private developers. “There are over 500 vacant lots within the city limits and there are some other parcels around that could become candidates,” he said.

To strengthen the argument that con-siders need and opportunities, Schafer

cites a bill, passed in 1986 by the U.S. Con-gress, that grants tax credits to developers to build affordable housing.

Several years ago, Woodland Park vot-ers turned down a ballot issue to give the city permission to offer incentives to bring businesses and developers into Wood-land Park. “There is a segment of people here who are not interested in growth or change,” Schafer said. “How do we ap-proach this in a way that overcomes some opposition?”

To answer his own question, Schafer suggests assigning a task force to lay out the issues. “I think the most important thing is getting the right people talking to

one another to identify the gaps and the overlaps,” he said. “We also have a goodly number of seniors in these discussions, so the right kinds of questions are being ar-ticulated. But that’s kind of the next chal-lenge.”

Schafer’s arguments for pressing his case for accommodating the silver tsuna-mi encompass urban planning, logic and something more intrinsic, a shared sense of community.

“I think you’ve got to make people be-lieve that this is something we ought to do for our seniors,” he said. “Otherwise, I think city services could be overwhelmed. If we do nothing, what happens?”

John Schafer, Woodland Park City Councilman, is dedicated to providing a� ordable housing, for seniors as well as the city’s workforce. Schafer, along with an advisory committee, is working on possible solutions to what is billed as the “silver tsunami,” of senior citizens over the next several years. Photo by Kathy Fleer

Lambert bill passes senate; headed to house Electronic dissovery bill passed by 35-0 vote Sta� report

An electronic discovery bill — the

fi rst of its kind in the United States — passed the Colorado State Senate April 30 on third reading in a 35-0 vote. The bill is sponsored by State Senator Kent Lambert, R-Colorado Springs, whose territory includes northern El Paso County and Teller County.

Discovery, in legal proceedings, concerns the exchange of evidence between prosecutors and defendants to ensure that both sides are working from the same information. This of-ten requires pages and pages of docu-ments printed at taxpayer expense.

In contrast, the E-Discovery pro-cess would digitize these documents and make them sharable via the inter-net, drastically cutting back on paper, wasteful retyping, and the cost associ-ated with producing multiple copies of documents for all parties, accord-ing to the language in the bill.

Colorado is pioneering the use of E-Discovery with this bill,” Lambert said. “E-Discovery will allow both sides in legal proceedings to save mil-lions of dollars and the time wasted by paper documents.

“I’ve been fi ghting to make E-Discovery a reality in Colorado. I’m extremely proud of my colleagues for passing it through the Senate and for the unanimous support from all sides of the judicial and legal community.”

The bill to establish an E-Discovery system (SB-190) will now go on to the House for consideration.

Medical marijuana not approved for PTSD Two Democrats join Republicans in killing bill, 6-5, in committee By Vic Vela [email protected]

A bill that would have allowed marijuana to be used as a treatment option for post-traumatic stress dis-order failed in a House committee on April 28.

House Bill 1364 would have added PTSD to a list of eight other condi-tions that qualify sufferers for medical marijuana treatment.

Rep. Jonathan Singer, D-Long-mont, a bill sponsor, argued that those with PTSD should be given the option to consult with doctors as to whether medical pot is a viable treat-ment option for their condition.

That’s better practice than suffer-ers having to resort to fi guring out their best pot pathway through retail pot shop clerks, he said.

“Should it be the bud-tenders on Colfax or the doctors at Kaiser?” Sing-er asked the House State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee.

Colorado voters, through the 2000 passage of Amendment 20, approved eight conditions that qualify for med-ical pot treatment, including cancer,

glaucoma and AIDS.The Colorado Department of Pub-

lic Health and Environment has the ability to add other conditions to that list, but it has not done so since Amendment 20 passed.

Several witnesses testifi ed that marijuana has helped alleviate their PTSD symptoms, including military veterans who served in confl icts and wars, ranging from Vietnam to Iraq and Afghanistan.

“Cannabis made it to where I don’t have to take any of these prescription drugs,” testifi ed Sean Azzariti, an Iraq War veteran. “It saved my life.”

Singer said that it should be up to doctors to decide what is best for their patients and cited high suicide rates among veterans as reason enough to keep all treatment options open.

“I don’t think that every veteran who commits suicide… could have used medical marijuana and it would have saved their life. I don’t believe that for a second,” Singer said. “But I do believe that some of them might have been able to use this as a tool in their toolbox to have that conver-sation with their doctor to make the right decisions for them.”

Key opposition testimony came from Dr. Larry Wolk, CDPHE’s chief medical offi cer.

Wolk said that CDPHE already has a process in place that allows the de-partment to add health conditions to

the medical marijuana list. Wolk said the department has considered the addition of PTSD to the list twice be-fore and rejected it both times.

Wolk also said that there isn’t enough research to show that mari-juana is an effective treatment for PTSD.

Some committee members had le-gal concerns over the bill, with some wondering whether the legislation would be akin to lawmakers tak-ing it upon themselves to changing Amendment 20 language in the state Constitution.

“I don’t always think the right deci-sion for us to make is, `Well, let’s just let the courts decide,’” said Rep. Tim Dore, R-Elizabeth, who opposed the bill.

Rep. Kathleen Conti, R-Littleton, said her opposition to the bill was personal. She said that marijuana use on the part of her child led to addic-tions to more dangerous drugs.

“My personal life story is one that has shown marijuana to absolutely be a gateway drug and I watched it be-come a gateway drug from marijuana to Oxycontin to heroin for someone I love with all of my heart,” Conti said.

The bill died following a 6-5 vote. Two Democrats — Reps. Jeanne Labuda and Angela Williams, both of Denver — joined all four Repub-lican committee members in voting against the bill.

Panthers headed to Cheyenne Mountain for soccer playoff gameWoodland Park girls are the No. 32 overall seed in the Class 4A playoffsBy Danny [email protected]

The Woodland Park girls’ soccer team heads into the Class 4A state playoffs as the No. 32 seed out of 32 teams.

The Panthers (9-6) will play at No. 1 overall seed Cheyenne Mountain (13-0-2) May 7.

“It will be exciting to play them,” said Woodland Park junior Jenny Sells. “It will be good to play against some great com-petition.”

Sells leads the Panthers in goals (15) and assists (9). The center midfielder knows many of the Cheyenne Mountain players through club competition.

“We just really have to be on our game,” Sells said. “We have to play well and we have to have our best game of the season.”

Woodland Park is entering the playoffs on a high note after defeating Widefield, 5-0, on May 2. Morghan Seiracki scored three goals and added an assist. She is second on the team in goals (11) and as-sists (8).

Sells had a goal and two assists. Chey-enne Wilcox had the other goal for the Panthers.

The victory snapped a three-game los-ing streak for Woodland Park in which it was outscored 16-1; Mesa Ridge (8-1) and back-to-back losses to Coronado (7-0)

and (1-0).Woodland Park is the third-place team

from the Metro League. League champ Mesa Ridge is the No. 25 seed and plays at No. 8 Air Academy, while No. 30 Coro-nado plays at No. 3 Sand Creek.

Cheyenne Mountain went undefeated in the highly competitive Pikes Peak Ath-letic Conference.

The PPAC sent six teams to the play-

offs; three automatic and three wild-card bids.

Cheyenne Mountain’s ties are to Fos-sil Ridge (the No. 1 seed in 5A) and Dis-covery Canyon (the No. 27 seed in the 4A field).

“Anything can happen in sports,” Sells said. “We don’t have any pressure. The pressure is all on (Cheyenne Mountain).”

This is the second-consecutive year

Woodland Park has advanced to the

postseason. The Panthers were the No.

31 seed in 2013 and lost to No. 2 Palmer

Ridge, 8-1.

Woodland Park will remain in the re-

vamped Metro League in 2015. Coronado

is moving up to 5A. The Classical Acade-

my (the No. 8 seed in the 3A playoffs) and

Canon City join the league.

SALOME’S STARSFOR THE WEEK OF ApRil 28, 2014

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) You might be tempted to be more assertive when dealing with a job-related matter. But a carefully measured approach works best at getting the cooperation you’re looking for.

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) While others urge you to act now, you instinctively recognize that a move at this time is not in your best interests. You should know when to do so by week’s end.

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) A busy schedule keeps you on the move for much of the week. But things ease up by the time the weekend arrives, allowing you to reconnect with family and friends.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Travel dominates the week, and despite some delays in getting to where you want to go, the overall experience should prove to be a positive one in many ways.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Your leonine self-confidence comes roaring back after a brief period of doubt and helps you get through a week of demanding chal-lenges and ultimately emerge triumphant.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Virgos who have made a major commitment -- personal or professional -- should be able to tap into a renewed reservoir of self-confidence to help them follow through.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) You soon could receive news from a surprising source that could cause you to change your mind about how you had planned to deal with an ongoing job-related problem.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A surprise move of support from a colleague who has never been part of your circle of admirers helps influence others to take a new look at what you’ve put on the table.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) While a bold decision to take an “i know what i’m doing” approach impresses some colleagues, it also raises the risk of causing resentment among others.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) A misunderstand-ing ‘twixt you and a friend might not be your fault at all, despite what he or she suggests. Talk it out to see at what point the confusion might have started.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Getting into a com-munity operation fulfills the Aquarian’s need to help people. it also can lead to new contacts that might one day help you with a project.

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) A minor problem could delay the start of a long-anticipated trip for two. Use the time to recheck your travel plans. You might find a better way to get where you’re going.

BORN THIS WEEK: You are a dedicated romantic who seeks both excitement and stability in your re-lationships.

Panthers end season with three-game winning streakWoodland Park’s baseball season comes to a closeBy Danny [email protected]

The Woodland Park High School base-ball team wrapped up its season with bang, winning five of its final six games.

“Once we said `If we screw up what’s another loss’ we started to play like we had nothing to lose,” said Woodland Park coach Cliff Richardson.

The Panthers defeated Widefield, 13-3, in their season finale on May 2. According to Richardson, it was Woodland Park’s first victory over Widefield in eight seasons.

“They’ve had our number, but today we were able to put it all together and come out on top,” Richardson said.

Junior left-hander Dakota Herman struck out eight Widefield batters in a game that was called after five innings due to the 10-run rule.

Herman, the ace of the staff, improved his record to 2-4. He had a 4.67 ERA with 41 strikeouts and 31 walks in 33 innings.

The Panthers had 11 hits against Wifde-field. Logan Watters had three hits and scored three runs. Kayden Osborn had three hits, two RBIs and scored two runs, while Herman had a pair of hits and two RBIs.

The victory improved Woodland Park to 9-10, 4-2 in the Class 4A Metro League.

The win over Widefield also marked the 100th career coaching victory for Richard-son. Forty-one of those have come with the core group of Osborn, Watters, Chase Fish, Cody Hedges, Sam Ballard and Keegan Harman.

“It’s going to be different making out the lineup card next year with those guys gone,” Richardson said.

It would have been understandable if Woodland Park packed it in with two weeks to play in the season. A 6-1 loss to Widefield

on April 18 eliminated the Panthers from post-season consideration.

But Richardson’s group still had seven games to play.

“They could have given up, but they didn’t,” the coach said. “They could have given up when we trailed Coronado, 5-0 (on April 29), but they didn’t. They stuck together and kept playing hard.”

Woodland Park began the seven-game stretch with a 12-1 loss to Skyline on April 21. The Panthers bounced back the next day with a 3-1 victory over Mesa Ridge. Two days later they defeated Sierra 15-1. How-ever, on April 25 Woodland Park was white-washed by Mesa Ridge 11-0.

The Panthers began last week with a

13-12 victory over Coronado on April 29. Woodland Park trailed 5-0 after two in-nings, but outscored the Cougars 13-1 over the next 4 ½ innings.

Coronado made a game of it, scoring six runs - the last two coming on a two-run homer by Emilio Martinez - to pull within one. With a runner on first, Herman struck out the final Coronado batter to end the game.”

Offensively, Herman had three hits and four RBIs, while Harman added three hits and two RBIs. Fish had one hit and two RBIs.

That game showed that we have a lot of heart,” Richardson said.

On May 1, Woodland Park defeated Col-

orado Springs Christian School 7-0.The Panthers begin their summer sea-

son May 27 with a game against Mesa Ridge. Woodland Park will play between 28 and 32 games this summer against a vari-ety of teams. But the Panthers won’t be in a league.

Among the other opponents on their schedule are Lewis-Palmer, Canon City, Florence, The Classical Academy and Man-itou Springs.

“Our furthest travel will be Canon City or Florence,” Richardson said. “Our season will end July 12. The guys will get in a lot of reps and still have a summer.”

Sarah Wywias was a four-sport star Cripple Creek-VictorSenior played volleyball, basketball, baseball and trackBy Danny [email protected]

Being her senior year, Sarah Wywias figured she would make the most of it. So when the baseball season rolled around, she strapped on her glove, laced up her cleats, and headed to the diamond to join the boys on the Cripple Creek-Victor team.

“I thought it would be a great opportu-nity,” said Wywias, who was a baseball team manager the previous two seasons. “I am so glad I did it.”

Wywias saw extensive time at shortstop and second base for the Pioneers. She even helped turn a double play against John Mall.

“A ground ball was hit to me, I tagged the bag and threw to Toby (Wuellner) at first base,” Wywias said.

“I like fielding a lot, but the first couple of games I wasn’t very confident batting. It was a learning experience, for sure.”

Wywias was also joined on the diamond a time or two by two other CC-V females; Bella Skottegaard and Autumn Herndon.

“Megan was our team manager, but we were short players one game so she played for us,” Wywias said. “Bella played early in the season, but she had to quit.”

Wywias is also on the track team this spring, where she competes in the 100, 200, shot put and discus.

Wywias started on the volleyball and girls’ basketball teams, making her a rare four-sport letterman.

I am so glad I was able to compete in all these sports my senior year,” she said.

Wywias is carrying a 3.7 GPA and is scheduled to be her class salutatorian. Wuellner is valedictorian. Graduation is May 24 at the school.

Wywias plans on attending Pikes Peak Community College in the fall. She has al-ready earned 22 college credits.

“I want to do something with animals,”

she said. “Maybe be an animal control of-ficer.”

REUNITED ON THE DIAMONDWoodland Park softball coach Dale Hun-

tington caught up with a couple of his for-mer players last month - Danni Lopez and Michaela Huntington (his daughter) - at a tournament in Utah.

Lopez plays for Friends University in Wichita, Kansas. Huntington plays for Beth-any College in Lindsborg, Kansas. The two starred for Woodland Park for four seasons (2010-2013).

“It was great to see the girls,” Huntington said. “I plan to see a lot of their games in the years ahead.

HILL CLIMB CLAMPS DOWN ON SPEC-TATOR VIEWING

New spectator regulations will begin with this year’s 92nd running of the world’s most famous hill climb and America’s sec-ond-oldest motor sports race.

Spectators will have viewing areas of the Race to the Clouds along the course at Dev-il’s Playground, Cove Creek, Glen Cove, Ski Area, Halfway Picnic Grounds, and the Start Line. These areas have been established to provide outstanding views of the race and most importantly to enhance spectator safety and control, according to Hill Climb CEO Tom Osborne.

Each of these areas will be patrolled to ensure a safe viewing area and spectators that venture outside of these areas will be subject to law enforcement action.

A general ticket will give spectators early morning access to any of the six viewing lo-cations.

Once fans settle into those locations they cannot leave for the duration of the race.

Since the inaugural race in 1916 specta-tors have been mostly unrestricted as they made their way to sites that would provide better viewing.

A crowd estimated at 8,093 race fans, of-ficials, accredited news media, driver and racer crews lined the course to watch the excitement last year.

The hope was to have rolled out these changes over a three-year window, but they will instead all be in place for the June 29

race. Law enforcement from El Paso and Teller counties will be on hand to issue tres-passing citations for those not following the new rules.

“We anticipate some pushback from people who have gone up there for many years and have their favorite spot,” Osborne said.

Huntington plays for Bethany College in Lindsborg, Kansas. The two starred for Woodland Park for four seasons (2010-2013). Photo by Dale Huntington
