Aquatic center to offer multiple benefits By Pat Hill
phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com Basketball, volleyball and running in the water, kayaking, a triathlon opportunity and scuba instruction in the lap pool, with offerings like these, Woodland Aquatic Center could soon be on the map of places to go for adventure. “Obviously, the lap pool is for swimming laps, swim teams, training and competitive swimming, the masters, but we can also use it for water sports,” said Cindy Keating, director of the city’s parks and recreation department. In two public presentations April 30, city officials and board members of the nonprofit Woodland Aquatic Project unveiled a concept plan for the facility- to be located at the south end of Center Street. The leisure pool, for instance, could be used to hold safety programs for the fire department, or for fitness training for residents, Keating said. The therapy pool could also double as a place for youngsters to get acclimated to water, she added. The party room could be used for team meetings and community gatherings as well as birthday and graduation parties, Keating said. “I’m really excited about this!” she said. “We’ve been attending a lot of training and getting great ideas on programming.” However, throughout the years of planning, the WAP board has had the youth and the elderly in mind for the pool, said Gerry Simon, president of the board. “Those are
the folks who don’t necessarily get out hiking, running or biking; these are the people who need swimming for safety reasons and physical activity,” Simon said. “All along it’s been to improve the health and well-being of Woodland Park.” As far as the exterior is concerned, the facility features glass, natural stone and earth tones. “We believe we have an obligation to provide for the community a facility that’s in keeping with our architectural standards,” said city manager David Buttery. “We’re being very careful because we want to ensure that there’s a view of Pikes Peak from the sun deck.” The facility will be available to residents and non-residents, who contribute to the facility with sales-tax dollars, Buttery said. After a year of satisfying infrastructure requirements, construction is expected to begin in May 2016, with an opening around May 2017, Buttery said.
The deal about naming rights While the city has the money and the bonding capacity to build the facility, bonus amenities must come from fundraising from corporations, foundations and individuals, said Steve Jeroslow, board member of Woodland Aquatic Project. The extras might include a baby-changing station, bleachers, ADA lifts for the lap pool, fireplace, diving board, scoreboard or spray pool/toys for children. There are options for each pool. “We hope the leisure pool will become an essential feature, regardless, but if someone wants naming rights we can accommodate
If all goes well with the infrastructure for the Woodland Aquatic Center, the city expects to break ground in the fall. The center is located at the end of Center Street, across the street from Woodland Hardware. Photo by Pat Hill you,” Jeroslow said. “By the way, the estimated value of the leisure pool is almost $800,000.” However, naming rights could be had for about one-third of the entire cost, he added. Or there’s always naming rights to the lap pool for one-third of $940,000. Other options for funding include a climbing wall, flagpole, warm-water therapy pool and a water slide, for instance.
The donor wall For individuals who donate at least $100, their names will be engraved on a donor wall, like the one at Pikes Peak Regional Hospital.
The hospital, the library and the Pavilion were each funded, in part, by individual donors. “The aquatic center is another one of those projects that will substantially improve the quality of life for all of us,” Jeroslow said. “We will actively pursue major foundations such as El Pomar and others.” To get the tax credit, donors can write check to the city of Woodland Park or the Woodland Aquatic Project, a nonprofit organization. To donate online, go to www. Woodlandaquaticproject.org. “We think we’ve created a pool and an aquatic center that the community will be proud of, that will serve our citizens from 3 months old to 100 years,” Buttery said. “That’s our goal, to have a facility that will serve every aspect of our community.”

Sheriff launches safety zone By Pat Hill

To ensure that Teller County residents have a safe place for the exchange part of purchasing through the online Craigslist, Sheriff Mike Ensminger launched a safety zone last month. The zone faces U.S. 24 in the parking at the
sheriff’s office in Divide and is equipped with two cameras on each side of the building. “Seven days a week, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., people can come and do their exchange and we’ll have them on camera,” Ensminger said. “But the cameras are on 24/7.” While there haven’t been any crimes associated in the county due to the exchanges, Ensminger isn’t taking any chances. “There is a
list of problems and crimes that have occurred with Craigslist, which echoes back almost to the conception,” he said. For the sheriff, the exchange issue hits home. “My wife likes to buy and sell on Craigslist but it is way too scary; I always go with her with the exchange,” he said. “What better place to have the exchange than a law enforcement agency?”

New flash flood protocol for U.S. 24 Staff report The Colorado Department of Transportation is updating its protocol on Ute Pass when flash flooding threatens U.S. 24, west of Colorado Springs. On May 1 CDOT Maintenance crews were dispatched to three locations along the corridor — at Cave of the Winds Road, at Cascade and in the Green Mountain Falls area. “We understood the preemptive closures were creating a hardship for residents and businesses alike to the west of Colorado Springs so we reviewed how best to still keep traffic moving without compromising public safety,” said CDOT Regional Transportation Director Karen Rowe. “We believe this new protocol is the best option for everybody who travels U.S. 24.” When a storm does hit the area, a plow truck will continuously travel up and down the corridor for monitoring purposes, ensuring water or debris flow is remaining off the roadway. If the highway needs to be closed, CDOT and the Colorado State Patrol will then sweep the corridor to ensure there are no individuals and/or vehicles remaining in the closure area. Before the highway is reopened to traffic, CDOT will assess the condition of the roadway, making sure any storm-related debris has been removed and the highway is safe for travel. This protocol continues through Sept. 30.

TCRAS celebrates expansion By Pat Hill phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com

The grand-opening reception for the expansion of Teller County Regional Animal Shelter was a chance to honor people who donated time, energy and money to the project. In her opening remarks, Mary Steinbeiser, TCRAS executive director, paid tribute to the late Tom Kongs, represented that day by his wife Sue. Member of the board for the nonprofit organization, Kongs is credited for overseeing the maintenance/repair needs of the shelter. Kongs worked directly with Steinbeiser and had a major impact on the beginnings of shelter improvements as well as the addition. “He was such a huge support for me and will always be missed not only from us at the shelter but from all of those whose lives
he touched during his lifetime,” Steinbeiser said. Caught after the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Steve Kopp, owner of Above Treeline Construction, said he donated the company’s work on the excavation, in addition to coordinating the sub-contractors on the project. Kopp estimates the project at $40,000. Jeff Smith, Smith Woodland Construction, donated the funds associated with pulling permits for the expansion project. Kopp emphasized that he and Smith were two of 40 people who contributed to the TCRAS expansion. “A lot of people donated time and materials,” Kopp said. “We loved doing it!” TCRAS volunteers offered tours of the facility, along with showing off the cats and dogs available for adoption and a pep talk about each.
Little Beaver Inn distinguishes GMF
By Pat Hill
phill@colorado communitymedia.com
Luxury in the mountains, rooms with a view, proximity to hiking trails and a hot tub to inhale the fresh air, Little Beaver Inn in Green Mountain Falls offers a peaceful sojourn. The former 1950s motor lodge has been transformed by Christian Keesee into a place to come to, a destination for the weary, the wanderer, the adventure-bound. A reception April 24 officially launched the inn as another of the amenities offered in Green Mountain Falls. “This summer we will be providing, in addition to our romance packages, a wonderful assortment for the makings of S’mores and
drinks out by the fire pit,” said Rachel Shortt, marketing director for the Historic Green Mountain Falls Foundation and Green Box Arts Festival. As well, the inn provides a hiking package, with maps and lunch available at Duckies coffee shop across the street. The inn is the second lodging option in the Keesee portfolio in Green Mountain Falls; in 2012, he bought and renovated the historic Outlook Lodge, once the parsonage for Church in the Wildwood. The lodge amenities, kitchen, outdoor fire circle and al fresco dining are available to guests who stay at the Little Beaver next door. Each is known for its collection of original art by American artists. “The Little Beaver Inn provides a secluded retreat from reality,”
said Keesee, in a press release. “Nothing can compare to the scents and sounds of nature that surround the property. It is the ultimate experience in relaxation and rejuvenation, right in the heart of this charming mountain village.” The inn and the lodge complement this summer’s Green Box Arts Festival founded by Keesee, chairman of Kirkpatrick Bank and Kirkpatrick Oil Company. The festival is from July 4 to July 11. The festival lineup includes art installations in town, a progressive concert by Manitou Springs’ native musician and composer David Siegel, a bluegrass concert and concert by Kyle Dillingham and Horseshoe Road. For more information, go to www.greenboxarts.org.
A reception for the locals at the Little Beaver Inn in Green Mountain Falls combined an introduction to the inn and a pep talk about the Green Box Arts Festival in July.

Mystery of murdered miner never solved “Old men’s prayers for death are lying prayers, in which they abuse old age and long extent of life. But when death draws near, not one is willing to die, and age is no longer a burden to them.” — Euripides (438 B.C.)
Clement S. Parks lived alone in an old two-story house on South Second Street in Cripple Creek in the winter of 1944. The building had 10 rooms but he kept to only three of them. He had arrived in the mining district in the heyday of 1896 and worked at the Portland for 32 years, but in 1928, his failing vision forced him to retire. His vision continued to falter quickly. By 1944, as he had aged, he became increasingly more feeble and his sight had slipped so far that he could barely tell daylight from dark. In his eighties, the retired miner came to depend on the kindness and generous nature of his neighbors. At least twice a week, his neighbor W. R. Thumback, an elderly man himself, would saunter by to help Parks in obtaining food and essentials, and with whatever the blind old man needed. On the morning of Dec. 28, 1944, when Thumback came calling, his friend’s outside door was unlocked when he entered at 7 a.m. Parks, the harmless, old, blind miner that was not known to have an enemy, was found dead in his bed, shot once through the head.
Thumback had notified Mrs. A. W. Oliver, in charge of the Teller County welfare office, who in turn called A.C. Denman, corner, who went to house immediately and found Park’s body still warm, according to a paper written for the Denver Westerners by Carl F. Mathews in 1962. Mathews was the former superintendent of the Bureau of Identification for Colorado Springs Police Department. “Sheriff Cecil Markley and Police Chief Steve Playford said they had a murder mystery in which they found no clues. At the end of a day’s work on the case they had no idea who fired the shot,” wrote Mathews. “Markley said an extensive search failed to reveal the presence of a gun, thus putting the question of suicide out of the question. In the hip pocket of Park’s trousers, which hung at the head of the bed, the officers found a wallet containing $445. The bullet, a .38 caliber, had passed through the man’s head and the officers found it embedded in the wall. The shot
had evidently been fired from the direction of the outside door. Parks was not believed to have had any money other than that in his pocket, the officers said, nor anything else of value… They said it would not have been necessary for anyone to kill him to rob him.” According to reports, both officers said that while Thumback had been questioned at length, no suspicion fell on him. The Sheriff and the Police Chief made a thorough search of the entire building but nothing in fingerprints, tracks other indications had been found that would throw any light on the mystery. Markley said he could find no grounds for supposing that treasure of any kind was hidden in the old building. A.C. Denman, coroner held an inquest at Law Mortuary in Cripple Creek on Dec. 29 and reached the conclusion that Parks had come to his death by gunshot wound to the head, inflicted by a person or persons unknown, and that his death was felonious. On Sunday, Jan. 8, 1945, Sheriff Markley said “everything is at a standstill,” in efforts to solve the case. According to all subsequent reports, nothing more was ever learned. To this day, there is no clear picture who, or why, someone would choose to shoot a blind, feeble, retired miner, more than 80 years old, in the head as he lay in his own bed.
Were you at Spurgeon Field on May 7, 1988? If you were at Memorial Park’s Spurgeon Field on May 7, 1988, you witnessed the wildest game of professional baseball the Pikes Peak region has ever seen. The Colorado Springs Sky Sox defeated the Phoenix Firebirds, 33-12, in the Saturday afternoon affair that featured 13 home runs as wind gusts up to 50 mph aided baseballs flying over the fence at a ferocious pace. Before the game was over, Phoenix pitcher Ed Lynch, once a successful major leaguer, returned to his team’s locker room located at Sertich Ice Rink, showered, dressed and retired. Lynch allowed 15 runs on 14 hits in 3 2/3 innings. Lynch started 119 major league games for the Chicago Cubs and New York Mets and had a 47-56 big league record before retiring for the first time following the 1987 season. His start that May 7 against the Sky Sox ended any ideas Lynch had of returning to the majors as a player. Later in his baseball career Lynch was the general manager of the Cubs. Many other former and future major leaguers saw action in the game. Among the stars for Phoenix were Charlie Hayes (2 home runs, 4 RBIs), Alan Cockrell (3 for 5, 3 runs), Matt Williams (home run, 3 RBIs) and Kirt Manwaring (1 for 4). Of note, Hayes, playing for the New York Yankees in 1996, caught the final out in Game 6 of their World Seriesclinching victory over the Atlanta Braves. Cockrell is now the assistant hitting coach of the Yankees. Williams was a five-time major league all star third baseman and is now manager of the Washington Nationals. Among notable players for the Sky
Sox were Terry Francona (5 for 7, 4 RBIs, 4 runs), Luis Medina (3 for 5, 2 home runs, 5 RBIs, 4 runs), Ron Tingley (4 for 7, 2 home runs, 7 RBIs, 4 runs) and Paul Zuvella (1 for 6). Francona is the current manager of the Cleveland Indians (for whom the Sky Sox were affiliated with from 1988 through 1992). He piloted the Boston Red Sox to World Series championships in 2004 and 2007. The Sky Sox trailed the Giants 3-2 after one inning that May 1988 afternoon. But by the seventh inning stretch Colorado Springs had built a 27-11 lead. Since the Sky Sox were the home team, they only batted just eight times in the game. Surprisingly, no Pacific Coast League records were broken that day. Lynch wasn’t the only pitcher to have a bad time on the mound. Giants relievers Randy McCament and Deron McCue combined to give up 16 earned runs and 18 hits. Sky Sox starting pitcher Joe Skalski allowed 11 runs in 6 1/3 innings. He did strike out nine batters. Cockrell, who I recently wrote about in this column, finished out the 1988 season with Phoenix and then spent two seasons as a player with the Portland
Beavers before joining the Sky Sox in 1990. In 1,594 at bats with the Sky Sox, Cockrell had 478 hits and 286 RBIs. He is also the only member of the clubs’ two PCL championship teams in 1992 and 1995, and was inducted into the Sky Sox hall of fame in 2002. It should be noted that Cockrell lived in Colorado Springs until a couple of years ago when he got remarried - his beautiful wife is Polly - and moved to North Carolina. Polly joins her husband on many of the Yankees’ home and away games. The 33-run outburst has not been replicated in the team’s 28 seasons in Colorado Springs. On June 28, 2005, the Sky Sox scored 25 runs against the Fresno Grizzlies at Security Service Field. They scored 24 against Fresno on May 29, 2011, also at Security Service Field. Sky Sox historian Chris Moyer recently informed me of another fun fact in Sky Sox history. On June 26, 1990, the Sky Sox played a night game in Phoenix. The temperature at first pitch was 120 degrees as a paid crowd of 3,010 endured the suffocating heat. Phoenix set a record that day with a high temperature of 122 degrees. Sky Sox play-by-play announcer Dan Karcher was in his first season calling games for the club. It was so hot in the broadcast booth that Karcher moved his equipment outside to the top of the press box and called the action from there. The next day things cooled down to 118 in Phoenix with a game-time starting temperature of 115. Karcher, by the way, has announced more than 3,500 Sky Sox games during his storied career.

Welcome to the world of orthorexia nervosa Does the thought of food worry you more than three hours a day? Do you feel guilty when you violate your healthy eating rules? Do the words “eating raw, clean or paleo” make you salivate? If you are fixated on “righteous eating” with no sugar, gluten or dairy allowed, you may have just ingested your way into an eating disorder. Welcome to the world of orthorexia nervosa. American doctor Steven Bratman coined the term in 1997 after his experience in a commune in upstate New York, where he developed an unhealthy relationship with “proper” food. “All I could think about was food,” says Bratman. “Even when I became aware that my scrabbling in the dirt after raw vegetables and wild plants had become an obsession, I found it terribly difficult to free myself. I had been seduced by righteous eating.” Although it’s not officially classified as an eating disorder in the Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, mental health profes-
sionals nationwide claim they’re seeing an increase in patients who are obsessed with eating only healthy food. Unlike anorexia, which focuses on the amount of food a person eats, orthorexics concentrate on exactly what they eat. According to Brainphysics.com, when it comes to food, trends like gluten-free and eating-paleo and focusing on food origin have pushed people toward obsessive tendencies. For some, self-esteem becomes wrapped-up in the purity of their diet with positive and negative self-image closely linked with the success or failure of eating clean.
Orthorexia starts out innocently enough as an effort to eat a more healthy diet. The website for National Eating Disorders claims that the rub comes when orthorexics become obsessed with what and how much to eat and how to deal with slipups. Eventually food choices become so restrictive in both variety and calories that one’s health suffers, which is an ironic twist for an effort that started out dedicated to healthy eating. There is a blurry line between “normal” healthy eating and orthorexia nervosa. One criteria for defining the condition is when eating healthy causes significant distress or negative consequences in one’s life. If you are plunged into gloom by eating a piece of bread or find yourself anxious about when your next shipment of kale or chia is coming, you may have a problem. If you sequester yourself at home where you can tightly control the menu eating only super-foods, while avoiding meals with family and friends, you may also have a problem. Following a healthy diet does not mean
that you are orthorexic. There is absolutely nothing wrong with eating healthy. However, if eating healthfully is taking up an inordinate amount of time and attention, if deviating from your diet fills you with guilt and self-loathing or if you’re using your healthy eating habits to avoid people and life’s issues, you may want to talk to your doctor. You can test your own tendencies towards orthorexia nervosa by taking the Bratman test at http://www.eatingdisordersonline.com/explain/bratman.php or by visiting NEDA at https://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/orthorexia-nervosa. Remember this mantra ... moderation in all things. Cord Prettyman is a certified Master Personal Trainer and owner of Absolute Workout Fitness and Post-Re-hab Studio in Woodland Park. He can be reached at 687-7437, by email at cordprettyman@ msn.com or though his website at www. cordprettyman.com.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor: Hello to all. My name is Mike Isele and I am the Event Lead for the American Cancer Society’s 2015 Ute Pass Relay For Life. I am reaching out to everyone in the Ute Pass area and asking for your support and help in our efforts to finish the fight against cancer. I am not a doctor and I can not help you when you are sick and I am not a scientist and I will not be able to find a cure for cancer. However, I can help raise funds so that these doctors and researchers can continue the search for a cure. Many strides have been made and your odds for surviving cancer are 68 percent today compared with 42 percent in 1968. With your support we can make the survival rate a lot higher. Cancer has devastated so many of our friends, family and acquaintances and you do not have to look far to see someone affected by cancer. Federal funding for cancer research has dropped but with your help we can make a huge difference!
I would encourage your participation in our June 12th relay and if you could help us get the word out to your families, friends, schoolmates, workmates, businesses and all the other people you know. We do have a monthly meeting at Peoples Bank and the next one is Tuesday May 5th at 6 pm. Also Tracy at McGintys Pub in Divide has generously provided us a table on May 8th for kick off and sign-up. This is the second time we have had help from Mcgintys and please come out and sign up and enjoy the wonderful food! Also May 9th, city market will let us have a table in front of their store for a sign-up. Thank you Glenda. Todd and Scott at Ute Pass Brewery let us have a tap night at their pub and I would like to thank them. There are many others that I would like to thank that have helped but space is limited in this article. Call Tyler Schultz at 630-4978 or get on line at www.relayforlife.org/utepass and join us!

Optimism reigns at job fair By Pat Hill
phill@colorado communitymedia.com The mood was upbeat from the 19 employers at the job fair on April 29 sponsored by the Pikes Peak Workforce Center. “It’s pretty awesome and we’re getting qualified resumes,” said Brenda Riley, director of human resources at Bronco Billy’s Casino. “This is our busiest season.” With the major expansion in downtown Cripple Creek, which includes a new restaurant, Bronco Billy’s offers a variety of opportunities for employment. Along with the expansion into the former Gold Rush Casino, Bronco Billy’s will introduce the ale named for the casino and crafted by Bierwerks in Woodland Park, Riley said. “We expect to have a soft opening this month.” Riley credits Ted Borden and his team at the Aspen Mine Center for hosting the annual job fair in Cripple Creek. Along with providing possible employment opportunities for at least 80 people that day, the workforce center holds a job-preparedness seminar for youth in the community. “They give the students a career assessment,” said Hank Nelson, employment specialist for the workforce at the Aspen Mine Center. Roaming around that day was a man in a suit and tie who was perus-
ing opportunities in the information-technology field; however, the man declined to give his name. “I’m just fishing,” he said. At the table hosted by the city of Cripple Creek, Heather Hildebrand, human resources assistant, was also fishing. “It’s hard to find a good employee,” she said. “People come and go; we compete with the mine for employees. But last year we got a great one at the fair.” Stopping to chat at the table hosted by Rosalita Perez, recruiter for the May Trucking Company, Bever Branson, 59, feels she is at a crossroads and may want to change jobs. She currently works at the Double Eagle Casino, as a night cleaner who always shows up to work. “I’m up in the middle of the night, hiking through the snow to get to work,” she said, “It was a bad winter.” At the table for IGI Advisory Services, which specializes in cyber security, Frank McIntire was crossing his fingers. “There are a lot of techies up here in the mountains,” he said. “They’re hiding out!” McIntire was expecting his company to win a large contract with the U.S. Navy and, if so, would hire up to 18 employees. Later in the day, McIntire reported to Bob Gemignani, the workforce business specialist, that he had found at least one potential employee that day. At the Cripple Creek Care Center table, Susan Amiot, human re-
Richard Olachia, right, is pretty sure he nailed a job at the Pikes Peak Workforce Center Job Fair April 29 at the Aspen Mine Center. He shared the good news with Workforce staff members, Hank Nelson, employment specialist in the Cripple Creek Workforce office; and Bob Gemignani, business specialist for the Workforce. Olachia applied for the position of security officer at three casinos and hopes to snag one of them. Photo by Pat Hill sources, and Lois Mace, head of housekeeping, were at the fair with the intention of hiring. “We’re always looking for certified nurses’ assistants,” Amiot said. “It’s a hard job where you’re pretty much running your legs off. You have to be strong.” Perennial employers Cripple
Creek & Victor Mining Co. was looking for mechanics and heavy-equipment operators. There were people of all ages at the fair. “We came to find a job so that when we get out of high school we have something,” said Justin Cochran, 18.

Funeral home director reflects on bombing Wood teaches a course at Charis Bible College By Danny Summers
dsummers@coloradocommunitymedia.com Paul Wood was at work in Oklahoma City the morning of April 19, 1995, when he heard a loud explosion at 9:02 a.m. The three-story funeral home he was working in rattled from the shockwaves of the blast. Broken glass from windows was everywhere. Wood, after making sure nobody in his building was injured, walked five blocks toward the smoke and fire at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. There, he saw the devastation caused by a massive bomb that had been set off only minutes earlier on what had been a peaceful Wednesday morning. Sensing the worst, Wood returned to his funeral home a few minutes later and met with staff. For the next five days, Wood was at the funeral home nearly round the clock; going to his own home each night just long enough to get a few hours of sleep. The immediate hours that followed the blast were some of the most hectic and chaotic times of Wood’s life. “The ambulances began to stage in the front parking lot of our funeral home, and the fire department was staging out of our back parking lot,” Wood said. “One of the things that happened quickly was that we handed some of our supplies (personal protective equipment) out to some of the first responders. “From there, I got a phone call and I was asked to transport some of the deceased from St. Anthony’s Hospital over to the medical examiner’s office.” As the day progressed, more people and agencies came together to help coordinate the emergency efforts. “Probably about 2 or 3 o’clock I got a phone call from the medical examiner’s office to see if some of the funeral directors could help gather information from people who were missing,” Wood said. “We started gathering the ante
mortem information — information about the person before death. What were they wearing? What kind of surgeries had they had. Did they have scars? Did they have tattoos? All of that information was gathered in the event a body was discovered in the identification process.” The bombing was a domestic terrorist attack carried out by Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols. The deadly explosion killed 168 people and injured more than 680 others. The blast destroyed or damaged 324 buildings within a 16-block radius, destroyed or burned 86 cars, and shattered glass in 258 nearby buildings, causing at least an estimated $652 million worth of damage. The victims, including three pregnant women, ranged in age from three months to 73 years. Of the dead, 99 worked for the federal government. Eight of the victims were federal law enforcement agents. Nineteen of the victims were children, 15 of whom were in the America’s Kids Day Care Center. The bodies of the 168 victims were identified at a temporary morgue set up at the scene. Wood, like hundreds of thousands of other Oklahoma City residents and those from nearby towns, will never forget the events of that terrible day in April 1995. Twenty years later, Wood owns and operates The Springs Funeral Services in Colorado Springs and he teaches a class to third year seminary student at Charis Bible College in Woodland Park. “The class I teach deals with death and grief,” Wood said. “We talk about the importance of funeralization, memorialization. We talk about some of those circumstances that would help somebody working in ministry establish that point of death. “One of the things we did in the bombing was very specific. We had to identify that the person was killed in the bombing and they are dead. They are not passed away. They are not gone. They are not asleep. We have to establish that it is a death to help with that reality.” Wood, 56, has dealt with death in the funeral home business for 26 years. Prior to that, he worked as a pastor from the age of 18 with Free Will Baptist Churches in the state of Washington and Oklahoma.
“One of the first tasks of mourning is coming to understand the reality that someone is dead,” Wood said. “It’s blunt, but it still helps to establish that reality. “And it may not be so much that you have to be blunt, but you have to honest and be realistic with people. You share the news compassionately, but realistically.” The students at Charis typically range in age from 18 to 50. Wood teaches class sizes of 40 to 60 students. “The older students have had more experience with death so I think maybe they can relate to it as we go through the class,” Wood said. “Our whole emphasis is what bereavement is? What is grief? What is mourning? What are the tasks that you need to accomplish in mourning? How do you work through those key elements that you need to do. What are the things we go through that can really help us begin to cope with this loss, whatever that is.” Wood helped coordinate the funeral services of 15 to 20 Oklahoma City bombing victims. “That gave me a real sense of vulnerability that I didn’t have before,” said Wood, who relocated to Colorado Springs from Oklahoma City in 2007. Six years before the Oklahoma Coty bombing Wood was dealt a personal blow when his father was murdered at home by a pair of teenagers. Last month during the 20th anniversary remembrance of the bombing, former President Bill Clinton was one of the leaders who spoke at the memorial site. Wood watched the event on television and reflected back on that difficult time. “Grief is triggered more by the love and the relationship,” Wood said. “Frequently, dramatic deaths can have a bigger impact, but long term it can be whatever that relationship is. It can be that 90-year-old mother that died. That relationship was so close and a part of your life every day can be just as devastating as some of the others. “We cannot tell somebody how to grieve, how to mourn. You just can’t do it. Everyone is individual and they are going to grieve in their own way. It is not cookie cutter. It is messy. But I do know that dramatic deaths can have more of an impact.”

Panthers baseball team misses out on postseason Woodland Park finished fifth in Class 4A Metro League By Danny Summers
dsummers@colorado communitymedia.com If there was an annual award for the high school baseball team that comes closest to qualifying for the playoffs but doesn’t get its ticket punched, Woodland Park would have its corner of the trophy case filled to capacity. For the seventh time in the last eight seasons, the Panthers barely missed qualifying for the playoffs. The Panthers will finish in fifth place in the Class 4A Metro League this season. Woodland Park (8-10, 6-7) concludes its schedule this week against Harrison. The top three teams in the league advance to the postseason. The Metro League’s three representatives are Canon City (16-3, 14-0), Mesa Ridge (14-5, 12-2) and The Classical Academy (11-8, 9-5). “We’ve been very close many seasons,” said Woodland Park coach Cliff Richardson. “In 2012 we were one out away. Several other seasons it came down to us and Widefield for that final spot. This season we were in it until the last full week. Richardson has been the head varsity coach for four seasons. Prior to that he was the freshman coach under Chris Winstead. Richardson has been as frustrated as anybody about his club’s near playoff misses since 2008. “You can always look back at a bad inning here or a bad inning there, or missed opportunities,” he said. Each season from 2008 through 2012 the Panthers finished one league victory out of a playoff spot. The Panthers finished third in league in 2013 and qualified for the playoffs by defeating Mesa Ridge in the end of the season crossover tournament. The Panthers lost to Montrose, 10-0, in the first round of district play that season. Last year, Woodland Park finished fourth in league, one win away from qualifying for the playoffs. Woodland Park entered last week still

Levy, a sophomore, is batting .421 on the season. mathematically alive for a postseason berth, but everything had to go the Panthers’ way if they hoped to make the playoffs. They needed to defeat Mitchell twice and have TCA and Widefield split their two games with each other. That would have created a three-way tie for third place, forcing a tiebreaker. Woodland Park defeated Mitchell, 5-4, on April 28 as senior left-hander Dakota Herman threw a complete-game five-hitter.
Herman struck out 11 and walked three while allowing just two earned runs. But Woodland Park lost to Mitchell, 8-7, at home on April 30. The Panthers built a 6-1 lead after five innings, but Mitchell scored two in the top of the sixth and five in the seventh to take command of the game. Woodland Park starting pitcher Cole Trichell turned in a solid performance, allowing three runs and five hits over 5 2/3 innings. Three relief pitchers couldn’t hold
the Marauders down. Meanwhile, TCA defeated Widefield twice to clinch the final playoff spot. TCA began this season with six consecutive losses. Woodland Park (with 881 students) is one of the smaller schools in the league in terms of enrollment. Mesa Ridge, Widefield, Canon City and Mitchell all have over 1,000 students. TCA is the smallest school with 618.

Panthers’ soccer team ends season on high note
Woodland Park won 2 of 3 games last week
By Danny Summers
dsummers@coloradocommunitymedia.com
The Woodland Park High School girls’ soccer season concluded its season on a high note last week, defeating Elizabeth, 4-2, on May 1 in a non-league match. The Panthers (8-7, 4-3 in the Class 4A Metro League) played three games on the road last week. On April 28, they defeated Mesa Ridge, 2-1, in the league’s end of the season tournament. Senior forward Jenny Sells scored her teamleading 20th goal of the season. Freshman Samantha scored the other goal. “Great performances all around in a highly competitive match,” said Woodland Park coach Andrew Pappadakis. “Maia (Pappadakis), Lexie (Rees), Katie (Stunkard), Sam, and so on, but Jenny turned in a complete package. There was a new level to her play as she essentially played every position at one time or another during the match; willing the team to win.” The Panthers traveled to Canon City on April 30 and lost to the Tigers, 5-1. Sells scored Woodland Park’s lone goal. “In another challenging game with scintillating performances from the usual cast, Caitlan (Thorne) came to play when her team needed her most,” Pappadakis said. “Exhausted, rife with injury, and with no subs, we needed a player to perform at a new level, and that was Caitlan. Great performance whistle to whistle.” The Panthers finished fourth in the Metro League this season behind The Classical Academy (15-0, 7-0), Mesa Ridge (8-7, 6-1) and Canon City (8-7, 5-2). The top three teams from the league earned playoff berths. The Panthers did not receive one of the at-large bids and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2012. Woodland Park outscored its opponents 55-4 in its victories. Oddly, the Panthers were outscored 35-3 in their losses. Barring players moving away or transferring to other schools, Woodland Park will return a plethora of talented players next season. The list includes Lecky, Rees, Thorne, Ashley Heidekrueger, Maia Pappadakis, Madison Dixon, Elise Lafever, Emilia Stein and Carly Poe among others.

SALOME’S STARS FOR RELEASE WEEK OF MAY 4, 2015
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The Lamb is usually excited about taking on a new challenge. But if that’s a touch of doubt you’re feeling, maybe it’s you telling yourself to go slow on this until you learn more about it. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Accepting new commitments when you haven’t yet finished the batch on hand could be a bit rash. Better to ease up on the new ones until you get further along with your current lot. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Reward yourself for what’s sure to be a dynamic week with a getaway to someplace wonderful, hopefully with a wonderful someone. You’ll return refreshed and ready for what’s ahead.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Some people might be anxious about your plans. So you need to take time to explain what you expect to do and how you expect do it. And don’t forget to ask for suggestions. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Dealing with an unfamiliar problem can be difficult. The wisest course you can take is to ask for advice from those who have been where you are and have come through it. Good luck. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Tackle a frustrating job problem by considering possibilities you might have ignored before. This reassures colleagues you’re serious about finding a solution, even if it’s not totally yours. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your balanced approach to life proves to be helpful this week when someone you care for needs your spiritual comfort, while someone else benefits from your tough-love practicality. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Once again, you’re likely to be asked to keep a secret for someone. But do you really want to do so? Be honest with yourself and with your needs before you make any such commitment. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Taking a more direct approach from the more diplomatic one you’ve used before could make a difference in finally resolving a too-long-held disagreement. Try it. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Being asked for advice is flattering to the Sea Goat, who has a habit of saying the right thing. This time, expect someone to be especially impressed and to act on that sentiment. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) With a number of pressures easing, your project could be making a lot more progress than you expected by this time. That’s great news. But don’t let yourself be distracted; stay with it. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) An interesting challenge looms that could be exactly what you’ve been looking for. Discuss this with colleagues who could have much to contribute and who might want to join with you. BORN THIS WEEK: Your heart is always open to offer loving concern for others. And they, in turn, reach out to complete the circle. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
