Much of the May 7 Woodland Park City Council meeting centered on highways, streets and trails.
Colorado Department of Transportation
Karen Rowe, region 2 director for the Colorado Department of Transportation, gave a presentation on new protocols for U.S. 24 closures in Ute Pass. Unlike last year when the highway was closed as a precaution based on weather projections, this year there will be team of three people assessing the highway when inclement weather begins. They will be looking mostly for dangerous debris flows especially in the area between Cascade and Chipita Park/Green Mountain Falls. If debris flows are spotted, these three
will be able to close a series of gates to keep traffic out between Green Mountain Falls and the Cave of the Winds exit in Manitou Springs. Media and law enforcement will be notified and information will be posted on electronic message boards. Where possible, Rowe said detours could be put in place to relieve traffic congestion. Councilmember Bob Carlsen asked her about lowering speed limits in downtown Woodland Park to 25 mph and raising them to 60 mph between the city and Cascade Rowe said the speed limit through town must remain at its current 30 mph but that the state could possibly conduct a speed survey east of town to determine if raising the speed limit is feasible. State transportation is also working with the city to adjust traffic signals to make intersections safer and local law enforcement and the Colorado State Patrol are working together on enhanced surveillance at signals to deter red-light running.
Pikes Peak Area Council of Governments
Pikes Peak Area Council of Governments’ Transportation Director Craig
Casper and Transportation Planner Emily Lindsey reported on the organization’s Regional Nonmotorized Transportation System Plan, which will cover El Paso County out to Calhan and Teller County up to Divide and stretch out to 2040. Lindsey said the planning goal is to develop infrastructure for biking, walking and other nonmotorized uses that are safe, connected, easy to use, and well-maintained. Creating the draft plan took two years by a taskforce with 45 participants. Some of the highlights of the plan included creating better east-west connectivity throughout the region, creating a way-finding signage system and finish connecting local trails to both the American Discovery Trail and the Colorado Front Range Trail. There will be a Ute Pass Trail public meeting from 5:30-7:30 p.m. on May 20 at the Centennial Building on S. Cascade in Colorado Springs. Casper said nonmotorized trail and open space usage has a big economic impact on the Pikes Peak Region. Citing just one example, he said bicycling alone pumps more than $27 million directly into the economy.
This figure doesn’t include additional indirect economic impact. He encouraged Woodland Park and Teller County residents to visit www.walkbikeconnect.org to comment on the draft plan and make suggestions.
Woodland Park Public Works
Council approved several contracts for city street improvements and construction projects starting this summer: Golden Triangle Construction Inc. will receive about $1.65 million to renovate the city’s Fleet Maintenance Facility. This work would have been funding by a certificate of participation but City Manager David Buttery said that with a generous grant from the Colorado Department of Local Affairs and some rearranging of the budget, the city will be able to pay cash for the work. Complete Koncrete Inc. was awarded $28,175 for assorted concrete repairs in the city. SNS Enterprises LLC was awarded $26,824 for street stripping. Other contracts for street repair work were awarded in April.

Report centers on collaborative decisionmaking, investing in preparedness By Rob Carrigan
rcarrigan@colorado communitymedia.com Colorado U.S. Sens. Michael Bennet and Cory Gardner received recommendations from a report Bennet commissioned over a year ago. The report, presented at a Fire and Forestry Summit Saturday in Colorado Springs, suggests steps the federal government can take to better support Colorado’s wildfire mitigation efforts. The senators were presented with those recommendations by more than 40 fire and forestry experts from across the state who worked to compile the report. El Paso County Commissioner Sallie Clark, representatives from the U.S. Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management, Colorado State University, the Colorado Water Congress, County Commissioners from across the Front Range and West Slope, and other members of the forestry, conservation, and wildfire prevention community all contributed to the development of findings. Following the summit Bennet
RECOMMENDATIONS INCLUDED • Focusing on collaborative decision-making processes that advance conversations between federal decision makers and community leaders to address wildfire prevention, forest management, and regulatory processes. • Increasing education and outreach to homeowners and communities regarding their responsibility to mitigate fuels and property conditions and the actual risk of wildfire. • Investing in preparedness, collaborative planning, capacity building, and proactive work before wildfires occur. • Investing federal resources to support community forest health and wildfire prevention leadership. • Encouraging land management agencies to evaluate their current work and develop new methods that focus on effectiveness across the landscape. • Requesting that federal forest planning information be more accessible to local and regional groups engaged in complementary work. toured the Navigators Glen Eyrie property to highlight the post-fire flood mitigation efforts in El Paso County. The Navigators have spent more than $7 million on such efforts. “Colorado has a vast and deep knowledge of forest health and fire mitigation. It’s based on real-world experience and the federal govern-

The recommendations we received today will help us develop effective, collaborative policy to help deal with the growing threat of wildfire. We are thankful to everyone who contributed to this important conversation and came out today.” “Preventing wildfires when possible and preparing for when they do occur is everyone’s job,” Gardner said. “It’s critical for officials from the local level to the federal government to be on the same page, and today’s summit was an important step in ensuring that they are. We must con-
tinue to be diligent in our efforts to prevent these incredibly damaging natural disasters and their equally destructive effects.” In March 2014, Bennet convened a large group of Colorado leaders in forestry and fire mitigation to discuss ways the federal government can best work to support collaborative, on the ground fire protection and forest health efforts. The group spent a day with Bennet and USDA Under Secretary for Natural Resources and Environment Robert Bonnie, discussing their real-world experiences working in Colorado forests and communities. At Bennet’s request, the group then worked together to develop a detailed report on the outcomes from that conversation, with specific recommendations for federal policy.

Mural project in high gear By Pat Hill
phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com A mural that tells the story of Woodland Park, its history as well as the residents who have given the city its sense of place, “The Story of Us” is a project of the Woodland Park Arts Alliance. A draft of the mural in pencil is on display this month in the Eichman Gallery at Park State Bank & Trust. “We start with the Ute Indians,” said Lois Sprague, who will start painting the mural next month on the east wall of the Ute Pass Cultural Center. “I spent a weekend in Montrose talking to Ronald McCook, the Ute historian with the Smithsonian Institution for 10 years.” McCook is the great-great grandson, by adoption, of Chipeta and Chief Ouray. “We’re going to put QR codes periodically along the mural so that people with smart phones, especially children, can take a pop off the code and it will kick them right over to the website, which will tell the story of what’s pictured,” said Scott Stearman, chairman of the WPAA. The stories will be narrated by locals. From photos at the Ute Pass Historical Society, Sprague has drawn historical scenes, including one from the Midland Railroad days. “Here’s the Methodist
Church (on Henrietta Street) and here is a scene from the rodeo day and the Ute Trail Stampede,” Sprague said. Another scene, around the Woodland Hotel shows a baseball game. “It was illegal to play baseball in the Springs on Sundays so they had a baseball field in front of the hotel,” she said. With dude ranches, rodeo queens, cars and horses “parked” along Midland Avenue, the mural is a history lesson in images. Currently, the arts alliance is conducting a fundraiser to complete the project. Donors have the option of having their portraits in the mural, which concludes the history lesson in the 1950s. “I’ll have one day where I take photographs of all the people we’re adding in,” she said. “I’ll be painting all summer during activities.” The first recipient of a donation is Woodland Park Police Chief Bob Larson on his horse. Larson retired last week and the gift was a tribute from people in the community steered by the police department. “The portraits will be part of the crowd,” Stearman said. The Historical Mural Fundraising Campaign for the first phase of the mural ends May 17. Donations can be made by visiting www.kickstarter.com and searching “Woodland Park Mural.”

Hail closes U.S. Highway 24 Saturday Minor mudslide impacted ramp into Manitou Springs Staff report U.S. Highway 24 in the Cascade area was closed due to excessive hail in a short
period of time on Saturday from about 1:40 p.m. to 3:40 p.m, according to Colorado Department of Transportations officials. “The minor mudslide impacted only the ramp/road from U.S. 24 to Manitou Avenue on the west end of Manitou Springs - U.S. Highway 24/Business,” said CDOT officials in a release.

Police catch area robbers For the Courier On the night of Tuesday, April 28, and the morning of Wednesday, April 29, Chimayo Turquoise shop and the Woodland Pawn and Loan as well as 21 storage units on Colo. 67 in Woodland Park were broken into and items stolen. On May 1, the Woodland Park Police Department received information that a business in Manitou Springs had been contacted by an individual who wanted to sell items similar to jewelry stolen from Chimayo.
Acting on this information, arrangements were made to meet and determine if these were the stolen items. After positive identification of the stolen items two individuals were arrested after a short foot pursuit through Manitou Springs. Brandon Wilson, 19, and Corey Stevens, 22, were booked into the Teller County Jail. On May 4, two search warrants were executed on a vehicle and residence and additional items reported as stolen or used were located. A third individual, James Hayes, 21, was arrested and also booked into the Teller
County Jail in connection with these cases. The investigation is still ongoing and anyone who has not contacted the Woodland Park Police Department regarding items stolen from the storage units, do so to assist in the investigation by calling 687-9262.

Ride of Silence raises safety awareness By Pat Hill
phill@coloradocommunitymedia. com A solemn event, the annual Ride of Silence in Woodland Park is a tribute to cyclists who have been injured or killed by motorists in the past year. “It’s a short slow-paced ride to raise awareness for cycling safety,” said Jackie
Grabbert, secretary of the Mountain Top Cycling Club which sponsors the event. In Colorado, 10 cyclists were killed by motorists last year. Mayor Neil Levy opens the event with a proclamation at 6:30 p.m. May 20 at the Pavilion in downtown Woodland Park, followed by a ceremony that distinguishes the ride. “The Riderless Bike is a symbol of those riders who

The ride is free but participants are asked to register at GetEvent.com. “We’ll do the post-ride at the Pavilion,” Grabbert said. The ride is 3.5 miles through Woodland Park.

Students train for active shooter scenario M By Kaitlyn Pratt
Contributing writer As school shootings have made the headlines multiple times in recent years, school districts across the nation have started to realize that old lockdown methods have become obsolete. The Woodland Park School District has implemented a new lockdown policy in order to train their students to deal with a potential armed intruder situation. While old lockdown policies focused on hiding and waiting for the police, the new ALICE program is completely different; students and staff are learning how to actively respond in an active shooter situation. “Myself as a parent, I would much rather have my kid fighting for their lives instead of sitting in a corner being a victim. That is the message that goes out very clearly- we are not going to lay down and let you come in and hurt people in our building. We are going to take a stand and fight back,” said Sean Goings, the Safety and Security Coordinator for the Woodland Park School District. ALICE stands for Alert Lockdown Inform Counter Evacuate. Alerts are anything that warns the students and staff of an intruder. Lockdown involves locking the door and turning out the lights, as has been done
before, but now students are being taught to barricade the door to make it difficult for an intruder to enter. Inform means that students and staff are being kept up to date on the location of an intruder in order to facilitate safe evacuations. Counter is a last resort, but could be a lifesaving action. Students are being taught to arm themselves with anything they can find in the classroom; from textbooks to tissue boxes to throw at the intruder in order disorient and distract him or her. The students are taught to then either subdue the intruder, or evacuate. The Woodland Park High School Drama department put together a training video to demonstrate the ALICE strategies. The students are now doing drills regularly so that they will be prepared to fall back on that training if a violent situation were to occur. “We do fire drills every month mandated by the state, and in 56 years we have not lost a child to a fire in a school building. Why? Because we train. But every month we lose children to violence in schools, and there hasn’t been an emphasis in training for that,” said Sean Goings. The ALICE program provides a strategy that allows students and staff to play an active role in their survival until the police arrive. • “It takes the police department 2 to 5

So far the response of
students, parents, and staff has been mostly positive. • “Their level of empowerment was instant and amazing. You saw a change in ‘I’m actually going to do something instead of just hide in a corner.’ It was really cool to watch that and it carried on to every building,” said Sean Goings.
Brovetto awarded for service to WP Council appoints new planning commissioner, approves defense of lawsuit By Norma Engelberg
Contributing writer
On May 7, Woodland Park City Council recognized former Councilmember Gary Brovetto for his service to the city. Mayor Neil Levy said that during Brovetto’s three years on council he had a huge impact on the city’s economic future, especially its downtown.
Brovetto promoted bringing the state’s Main Street Program to the city and continues to promote the formation of a Creative Arts District and development at Woodland Station. Brovetto encouraged the city to continue to support these projects. It took three votes, but council appointed former Planning Commissioner Ken Hartsfield to the planning commission to replace Phil Mella, who was appointed to city council to replace Brovetto when he resigned in March.

Memorial Park upgrade funding set to go City to refinance certificates of participation, receives a $40K grant By Norma Engelberg Contributing writer At its May 7 meeting Woodland Park City
Brovetto Continued from Page 4
Hartsfield was one of three applicants. The others were Robin Pasley, who also applied to serve on council when Mella was selected, and George Long, a retired U.S. Army Colonel and a former Woodland Park teacher. The first vote ended with three votes for Hartsfield and a tie between Pasley
Council approved the refinance of certificates of participation for the public works building and the 1999 construction of a new police station. The refinance will include funding for Memorial Park renovations that are slated to cost about $2.5 million. The city was going to use both the public works and police operations building as collateral for the park renovations but now
will only be collateralizing the police structure, worth about $3.5 million. With work on the park pending, several events that usually take place in the park have been moved to different venues. These include the annual citywide cleanup, the summer Farmers Markets, the Old Fashioned Fourth of July and the Cruise Above the Clouds Car Show.
A $40,000 grant from Fishing is Fun will help pay for work on the Memorial Park Pond, which will be reshaped and deepened so that the water will stay cool enough for fish to survive in the summer. Bonds are also going on sale to fund the Woodland Aquatic Center at a lower than expected interest rate.
and Long. The second vote eliminated Long and the third vote ended with four votes for Hartsfield and three votes for Pasley. Council authorized City Attorney Erin Smith to defend the city from a lawsuit filed by Dale and Debbie Carley, whose rental property was flooded in November 2013 when a city-owned water main broke. The suit for more than $100,000 in damages was filed in Teller County Combined Court on April 22. Auditor Wendy Swanhorst of Swanhorst & Company and city Finance Director Wal-
lie Dingwell presented the annual audit for 2014. Swanhorst said that, as usual, the city had a clean audit. The only problem she found was with the way the city handled grant money, a minor problem she chalked up to inexperience. This was Dingwell’s first year as finance director. Council approved a new beer and wine license for Paul Lavigne for Wild Wings & Things. Lavigne assured council that he will serve alcohol responsibly and that the “Chicken Man” is here to stay. Both he and
his wife have donned the chicken costume and held up signs and danced on the edge of U.S. 24 in front of the Safeway Plaza. He said it was a lot of fun and that his wife is better at it than he is. Council also proclaimed its support for the Mountain Top Cycling Club Ride of Silence on May 20 to honor cyclists who have been injured or killed while riding on public roads and highways. This ride has become an international event since its inception in 2003.

Celebrating the life of Johnny Pritchard Lazy Old Dogs has played its last gig By Pat Hill phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Crystola Bar and Grill was packed the evening of May 4 when more than 300 people gathered to celebrate the life of the late Johnny Pritchard. Pritchard, 78, died April 1 and with his death, the band,
Lazy Old Dogs, has played its last performance. “I’m done,” said the drummer Rob McArthur. `It’s too sad without Johnny.” McArthur and Pritchard, along with Cy Sumner, were known for their performances at retirement homes, saloons and special events. “The Lazy Old Dogs band was formed around Johnny’s voice and Cy Sumner’s saxophone,” McArthur said. “It is ironic that it should all end exactly 5 years later, in the same place (Crystola) with the same venue.”
Pritchard was known for his repertoire of 1,000 songs, to which he had instant recall, McArthur said. “Johnny was one of the best people I ever knew, and I know that sounds like a cliché but, in his case, he truly was,” he said. “He was quick to smile, and was singing to the nurses in the hospital during his final days. He had a passion for life and for music that will remain unparalleled.” From now on, a band from Colorado Springs, Old Dog Band, will play at the Crystola on Monday nights.

Overshadowed by war The threat of being drawn into to World War II was hanging heavy over the United States when Divide rancher Sumner Alfred Osborn went missing in October of 1941. The first indication that something was terribly wrong surfaced when Sumner Osborn’s mother, Mrs. A.H. Osborn, 215 South 11th Street, called Sheriff Sam Deal’s office. Undersheriff Roy Glasier investigated and was told by Mrs. Osborn that on the night of Oct. 16, a man she did not know, came to her house and requested S.A. Osborn’s mail, saying that he had been instructed by Osborn to pick it up. There was no mail that day, so he returned the next, and she gave him a letter: She told Glasier that the letter had not been sealed properly and she looked in it, seeing a check made out to Sumner Osborn for $55.62, according to a 1962 account related by Carl F. Mathews. Mathews worked on unsolved crimes as superintendent of the Bureau of Identification in the Colorado Springs Police Department for years before he retired in 1952. “The man told her that he and Osborn had sold a load of posts to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo and the check was in payment, Glaiser investigated further and found the check had been made out for the sale of four horses to the zoo: the check was traces and endorsement was found to have been forged by one of the trio (George Marion Betts, John Cahill and Lester Cahill, brothers, all of Divide) and cashed at the Broadmoor Garage on Oct. 17,” Mathews related in his paper about unsolved crimes. Sheriff Deal was immediately in touch with Sheriff Cecil Markley at Cripple Creek and a trip was made to Osborn’s ranch. The last time that Sumner Osborn was seen was Oct. 16, when he walked to neighbor’s ranch and asked if someone could take him to the highway as he wanted to go to Colorado Springs to report that four horses had been stolen. Unable to get ride, he continued on foot. “Betts in his confession admitted he went to Mrs. Osborn’s home and obtained the check after Lester Cahill brought him from Divide. He said Johnny Cahill endorsed the check but that he and Lester stayed in the auto while Johnny went into into the garage to get the money.” The Cahills also, according to the confession, drove the herd of 14 Osborn cattle to the the Cahill ranch, loaded in a truck,
and took them to the stockyards in Denver and sold them for $599.99. “Betts declared the check was made out to ‘Earl Osborn’ and the two Cahills went to a Denver bank and cashed it. He asked the Cahills where Osborn was and they said they didn’t know.” A heavy snow covered the region and made a search for Osborn difficult. By Nov. 2, Sheriff Markey had made the determination that foul play had occurred. A $100 reward was offered. By Nov. 4, Lester Cahill indicated that he wanted to plead guilty to the cattle rustling, and authorities had been questioning both the Cahills, but they insisted that did know what had happened to Osborn. Lester admitted selling the cattle, but John denied any involvement. By Nov. 6, Sheriff Deal, acting on a hunch, surveyed an abandoned mine pit called the Little Annie. the 300-foot shaft had the reputation of being a ‘bad hole’ and full of water at the bottom and plagued by deadly gas fumes in the bottom. The tried to lower a miner down into the shaft in a bucket but abandoned that effort when more bad weather arrived. a second attempt later, using more equipment, including a portable winch. George Gotham went down to 110-foot level, but declared the effort useless with such a short cable. The next day, another experienced miner, Andy Kuhlman, was lowered to 250 feet, but said he found no gas, no water, and no body. “He reported he descended to a point where the old timbers had fallen from the top and closed the lower part. The next day, Frank Mayes, deputy game warden, his nephew Fred, Willis White, nephew of Osborn, and Andy Kuhlman explored and ice cave east of Midland some 60 feet deep, known to but a few residents. And also and old mining tunnel, 600 feet deep, but
without results. They reported the area was full of abandoned workings, many of which had not been touched for years,” wrote Mathews in his unsolved crimes paper. By Nov. 15, the Cahill brothers were willing to plead guilty to the horse and cattle theft but when questioned repeatedly on the whereabouts of Osborn “they had nothing to say.” By the end of the month, they were charged, as was Betts, who was only involved in the horse theft. “On Dec. 5, Harry Sollo, a real estate agent and self-styled ‘student of psychic phenomena’ said had received a ‘message’ which ‘told him within a half-mile of where Osborn’s body was lying.’ He said he would leave an envelop, sealed and not to be opened until Monday, giving the location so the accuracy of the message could be proved after the search,” according to Mathew’s account. That following Sunday, a procession of about 70 cars that included Sollo and four sisters of Osborn, was taken to a spot five miles east of the Cahill ranch, but the ‘student of psychic phenomena’ claimed they were taken to the wrong spot. And while they were, the body was being removed. According to a message left at the Gazette and Telegraph office later, “the body was in a well five miles east of the Cahill place; Sollo also claimed that he had received information giving the actual location, and that Osborn had been shot with a revolver and beaten to death.” From that time on, after the dry psychic hole, the Osborn case was overshadowed by news of the war, and in effect, moved to the back burners of local investigation. At their cattle rustling trial in February, the state Brand Inspector Earl Brown, testified that one of men selling the cattle, filled out paperwork that the car they were driving belonged to Alf Coulsen, a former Teller County Commissioner, and that the driver was “Earl Osborn,” a brother of Sumner Osborn, who had been been dead for a year or more at the times the crimes were committed. The case went to jury, and the Cahills were sentenced to terms of eight and 10 years. Betts, only involved in the horse theft, received probation. The Cahills served their terms at the Colorado State Penitentiary, and were later released. Sumner Alfred Osborn’s body was never found.
Looking back on the ABA’s Denver Rockets I had the pleasure of interviewing former Denver Nuggets star basketball player, head coach and Basketball hall of Fame member Dan Issel last week at the 30th Annual Colorado Springs Leadership Prayer Breakfast at the Colorado Springs Marriott. It was the second time I’ve interviewed Issel in the last 10 years and each time he has been very cordial. I was a big basketball fan as a small tike beginning in the late 1960s. I followed the NBA very closely, especially the Lakers with Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West and Elgin Baylor. Issel, of course, didn’t play in the NBA until his sixth professional season. That’s because after graduating from the University of Kentucky in 1970, he chose to sign with the Kentucky Colonels of the American Basketball Association. Issel was drafted by the NBA’s Detroit Pistons, but elected to sign with the rogue ABA. The ABA was around for nine seasons (1967-68 to 1975-76). As a kid growing up in southern California, I was much bigger fan of the NBA; especially the Lakers. I realize the Lakers are not a fan favorite of folks here in Colorado; especially long-time (50plus years) residents of the state. But if you were a kid growing up in southern California back in the day, it was tough not to love Chamberlain, West, Baylor, Gail Goodrich, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, James Worthy and Jamaal Wilkes. Those Lakers teams from the late 1960s through the late 1980s were pretty special. The ABA had a team in southern California, but few people really cared about them. The Anaheim Amigos were a charter team of the ABA and played in Orange
County for one season. The Amigos were not successful on the court. They lost their first five games, including the first-ever ABA game; a 134-129 loss to the Oakland Oaks on the road. After losing two thirds of their first 36 games head coach Al Brightman was fired and replaced by Harry Dinnel. The Amigos finished the season with 25 wins and 53 losses, fifth place in Western Division. They Amigos averaged just 1,293 fans per home game and their games were broadcast on radio and sometimes on television. However, they lost approximately $500,000 on the season and were sold for $450,000 to James J. Kirst, who moved the team to the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena, where they became the Stars. But after two seasons in Los Angeles, the Stars relocated again — this time to Salt Lake City — and became the Utah Stars. I was a huge fan of Issel’s from the time he played his first ABA game. I didn’t see a lot of ABA games on television, but I collected basketball cards and loved those colorful jerseys and the unique red, white and blue basketball. The ABA also had the three-point shot long before the NBA adapted it.
In the spring of 1967, Denver received a charter ABA franchise by default when the original owners of the Kansas City franchise couldn’t get their act together in time. The league needed solid ownership for the franchise, which it eventually found in the form of Denver trucking executive Bill Ringsby. Ringsby was the owner of the Denverbased “Ringsby Rocket” Trucking System. Therefore, it made sense for the team to be nicknamed the “Rockets.” The team’s unique colors (orange and black) and logo (the “Ringsby System” logo) were borrowed directly from Ringsby’s trucks. The team’s first year on the court (196768) was considered mildly successful. Only 2,748 fans attended the Rockets’ first home game against the Amigos. But attendance picked up over the course of the season as Colorado residents gradually warmed up to their new pro team. In their inaugural season, the Rockets averaged a healthy 4,128 fans per game. This figure encouraged the Ringsbys and confirmed that Denver could, indeed, support a pro basketball franchise. The Rockets were good, but not great. They had two powerful offensive weapons; Larry Jones, who played for Wilkes-Barre of the old Eastern League, and Willie Murrell (also from the Eastern League). Jones was one of the quickest and best shooting guards in the ABA. On Nov. 28, 1967, he scored 52 points at home against the Oaks. He averaged 22.8 points per game that first year, and was named FirstTeam All-ABA. Despite Jones’ spectacular play, Murrell was voted the team’s MVP. Murrell averaged 16.4 points and 9.0 reSummers continues on Page 7

Moderate exercise may make cancer treatments more effective This hot off the press from Kansas State University … moderate exercise may make cancer treatments more effective. Brad Behnke, associate professor of exercise physiology and a team of kinesiology researchers have demonstrated that moderate exercise on a regular basis enhances the flow of oxygen to cancerous tumors. This tumor oxygenation helps destroy cancer cells, which the researchers believe will enhance treatments for cancer patients, including radiation treatments. According to Behnke, when a tumor has low oxygen, it is often very aggressive. As a result, hypoxic tumors tend to be resistant to traditional cancer therapies, such as radiation therapy. “If we can increase the efficacy of radiation treatment, then the patient’s prognosis is enhanced,” says Behnke. “Exercise is a type of therapy that benefits multiple systems in the body and may permanently alter the environment within the tumor,” he continued. “Because oxygen is a radiosensitizer, it helps destroy cancer

bounds for the season. Other standout original Rockets were Byron Beck (out of Denver University), Wayne Hightower (from the Detroit Pistons of the NBA), Lefty Thomas (from the Harlem Clowns), Julian Hammond (out of Tulsa), and Tom “Whammy” Bowens (out of Grambling). Under head coach Bob Bass, Denver finished a respectable 12 games above .500 and third place in the Western Division. Denver played the powerful New Orleans Buccaneers (led by Coach Babe McCarthy and All-Stars Doug Moe and Larry Brown). At New Orleans, the Rockets lost the first two games of the best-of-five series. They also lost Jones to a broken arm. The series seemed over, but the Rockets surprised everyone by winning the next two games of the series, both played in Denver. In the absence of Jones, Murrell shouldered the scoring burden in Game 4 at the Denver Coliseum, scoring 14 points in the first seven minutes of the fourth quarter, and 28 in the game to propel Denver to the series-tying win. The rubber game of the series was played back in New Orleans, where the Bucs nipped Denver, 102-97. The Bucs eliminated Dallas in the conference finals and almost defeated the Pittsburgh Pipers, led by Connie Hawkins,
cells.” The key to exercise aiding radiation treatments is that it be moderate. Too little exercise may have no effect and too much may have a negative effect shutting down blood flow to the tumor or impairing the immune system in general. Moderate exercise is defined by Behnke as an activity that employs 30 to 60 percent of one’s aerobic capacity. Using age-predicted exercise target heart rate, that formula would be 220 minus your age times 30 percent for the lower range and times 60 percent for the upper.
in the first ABA Championship Series. Long before Issel became one of the most popular Nuggets of all time, there was Spencer Haywood. The 6-foot-9 Haywood had played only two years of college basketball, one at Trinidad Junior College and the other at the University of Detroit. But having averaged 32.2 points per game at Detroit (he was an All-America choice as a sophomore), and having sparked the U.S. Olympic Basketball Team to a gold medal performance at the 1968 Mexico City Summer Games, Haywood was bored with college ball. Despite protests from the NCAA and the NBA (and even some ABA owners), Haywood was allowed to play for the Rockets. Team ownership publicly explained it as a “hardship” exception, designed to allow Haywood to provide for his large family (including his mother and nine brothers and sisters). Haywood led the Rockets to a 51-33 regular season record during the 1969-70 campaign and averaged 30 points and 19.5 rebounds per game. At the ABA All-Star Game in Indianapolis, he won the MVP award. And at the end of the season, he was voted the overall ABA MVP (also making the All-ABA First Team), and the ABA Rookie of the Year. The Rockets defeated Rock Barry (who lives in the Broadmoor area) and the Oaks in the first round of the playoffs, but lost to the L.A. Stars in the second round. By the next season Haywood moved onto the Seattle Supersonics (now Oklahoma City Thunder) of the NBA.
Black Forest fire survivors received 10,000 trees
Groups combine efforts
Staff report
On Saturday, May 9, 238 Black Forest families picked up free seedling trees to help restore their burned land. A total of 10,000 trees have been donated to Black Forest fire survivors, through the combined efforts of the Colorado State Forest Service, the Arbor Day Foundation, FedEx, the National Wildlife Federation and Black Forest Together. Black Forest Together volunteers worked side-by-side with FedEx volunteers, Colorado State Forest Service personnel, and Black Forest Fire/Rescue firefighters to direct traffic through the pickup area, and load each family’s pre-reserved trees. Partnerships and grants have made this tree giveaway possible. The cost of growing 5,000 of the seed-
lings was provided by the Arbor Day Foundation’s Community Tree Recovery program, an ongoing effort that is currently supporting community disaster recovery in 11 states. FedEx is a National Program Sponsor of the Community Tree Recovery program. The cost of the other 5,000 seedlings was provided by the Wildlife Enhancement Program of the National Wildlife Federation. The CSFS Woodland Park District selected five tree species for this giveaway: Ponderosa Pine, Douglas-Fir, Quaking Aspen, Limber Pine, and Colorado Blue Spruce. All seedlings were grown in the CSFS Nursery in Fort Collins. To better reach families affected by the Black Forest Fire, the CSFS Woodland Park District partnered with Black Forest Together to organize a single process to distribute all 10,000 trees. Each family whose land has been burned was allowed to reserve up to 50 seedlings.

Divide that number by 6 and you have your target heart rate for 10 seconds. Exercise heart rate is taken at your carotid artery with your index and middle finger. For most people that intensity can be accomplished with a brisk walk or a slow jog. The American Cancer Society recommends 30 to 60 minutes of exercise at least 5 days a week. Start slowly and progress moderately. If you’re in treatment or are a cancer survivor who has not been exercising regularly, begin with as little as ten minutes at 30 percent of your aerobic capacity. You don’t have to run out and join a gym. Take the stairs, instead of riding the elevator. Park your car at the far end of the parking lot, when shopping. Buy a pedometer and increase your number of steps daily in small increments. In short, what the K-State research results tell us is that you can help the efficacy of your cancer treatment by simply moving.
That advice reminds me of Professor Matsui in my Biology 101 class at the University of Delaware in 1964. He walked to the blackboard and without saying a word proceeded to write the seven requirements for something to be included in the study of Biology. The very first item was … “Does it Move.” If it doesn’t move, then it’s not alive and therefore will not be included in the study of Biology. To those of you who are fighting the battle with the beast and those of you who are cancer survivors, the message is clear … get moving!

Community bids farewell to chief By Pat Hill
phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com More than 200 people said goodbye to Woodland Park Police Chief Bob Larson May 5 at the Ute Pass Cultural Center. After 44 years as a law-enforcement officer, Larson is retiring and, with his wife, Chris, plans to move to Charlevoix, Mich. Praised for his quiet leadership, inspiration and wisdom, Larson joined the department nearly 36 years ago, serving as chief for the past 16. “Bob Larson has dedicated his life to law enforcement and leaves a department that is well-run, wellequipped and fully understands the role of policing in a small mountain town,” said David Buttery, city manager and master of ceremonies. A parade of accolades was an insight to Larson’s intrinsic leadership abilities. “I enjoy Bob’s wisdom, his wisdom his wit - it’s as dry as a west Texas breeze,” Buttery said. “He’s been a wise counsel to me through many cases, officer-involved
shootings, fires, floods; he was always there to give me sound advice so that we could make the best decisions for our community.” Deputy Chief Miles de Young referred to Larson as a pillar of the law-enforcement community. “His leaving is going to be felt,” he said. “He’s so much more than just a police officer.” Beverly Hodges, the chief’s administrative assistant, was emotional. “He is a man of many strengths who led the department into the 21st century,” she said. Mike Rulo, who preceded the chief as the top cop, pinpointed Larson’s leadership of a team that, in many respects, is like a family. “You’ve got spouses, significant others, children and dogs, emotional problems, financial problems, things that you are there to support a team working under such difficult conditions,” Rulo said. “Bob is one of the great survivors, dominators of the profession.” During times of turmoil, Larson steered the team as well as the community through
the Hayman and Waldo Canyon fires, along with the homicides, a few bomb threats, drug labs, parades and fireworks displays, said John Gomes, former deputy chief under Larson and current Teller County Undersheriff. “In the midst of all of that, the chief provided operations, made sure accidents and drug labs were investigated, made sure criminal investigations happened,” Gomes said. “He guided everybody though that.” Mayor Neil Levy added a perspective of Larson who, with his family, would have Sunday Brunch at the Swiss Chalet, “I could see in his eyes how much he enjoyed his family - they always came in after church,” said Levy, who owns the restaurant. Larson’s quiet leadership provided the community a sense of safety, Levy said. “You’ll be missed and we can never repay what you have done for our community,” he said. As a permanent sign of gratitude, a painting of Larson on his horse will grace the “History of Us” mural on the east wall
of the Ute Pass Cultural Center. “Chief, this is not just a gift from your colleagues and friends, this is a statement from the community that says, `thank you,’” said Scott Stearman, sculptor and chairman of the WP Arts Alliance, which sponsors the mural to be designed and painted by Lois Sprague. After all that praise, Larson was invited up to the podium, where, as expected, his words were brief. “People have said a lot of nice things about me; the stuff we’re talking about are things that we have done, not things that I have done,” he said. Reflecting on comments from an officer who arrived at the small department after serving in Colorado Springs, Larson repeated the officer’s musings. “He said there’s a big difference here because `people like us,’” Larson said. “We had tough times and good times but people like us. Thank you all.” And Larson left the stage to a standing ovation from 200 people.

Update on the Dachshunds By By Pat Hill
phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com A story in the April 2 edition of the Courier tells of the rescue of 10 Dachshunds from a home in Cripple Creek. As of last week, seven of the 10 had been adopted. However, in the first part of May, the city’s animal control officer found out that there had been 11 dogs in the house. “The lady’s son let me in and I was able to catch the dog and she is now at the shelter,” said Nancy Mann in an email. To date, Mann has found homes for 9 of the 11 Dachshunds. As for the elderly homeowner whose “911” call alerted the emergency services, she is now in a facility in Canon City and doing well, Mann said.
Shannon Lemons, left, DVM with Teller Park Veterinary Service, checks out the teeth of the two dogs, which were rescued and are being cared for by Nancy Mann, Cripple Creek’s animal control officer. Wallaby, 4, and Boots, 6, are two of the 10 Dachshunds, or Dachshunds-mix, taken from a home in Cripple Creek. Lemons discounted her prices to treat all 10, each of which had decaying teeth. Boots had been adopted but two still need homes. Photo by Pat Hill

Carver protects El Paso County flood mitigation projects Staff report State Representative Terri Carver’s bill to protect flood mitigation projects passed the Colorado House of Representatives by an overwhelming bipartisan vote. El Paso County, Colorado Springs, Flying W Ranch, Manitou Springs, and Colorado Department of Transportation have spent over $4 million in detention basins and flood mitigation efforts, to protect our citizens from flash flooding in the aftermath of the Waldo Canyon fire. These essential flood mitigation efforts were put in jeopardy when the Colorado Division of Water Resources (DWR) indicated these efforts might trigger a water court decree process, absent a change in state law. The DWR ruling also negatively impacted city and county stormwater drainage infrastructure operations. Carver joined the efforts by State Senator Sonnenberg and State Representative Winter to protect flood mitigation projects and stormwater infrastructure operations from costly water court adjudications. Carver represents the Mountain Shadows and Peregrine areas affected by the Waldo Canyon fire, and the areas in western Colorado Springs, Cascade, and Green Mountain Falls impacted by flash flooding in 2012 and 2013. The bill (SB15-212) clarifies that “post-
wildfire” flood mitigation projects and storm water infrastructure operations do not injure water rights. The bill recognizes the importance of city and county actions to protect lives and property. The bill sets specific criteria for stormwater and postfire flood mitigation facilities to ensure that downstream water rights are not harmed, without the need to go to water court. This bill was supported by cities and counties across the state. El Paso County, Colorado Springs, Fountain, Manitou Springs, Woodland Park, Pueblo, and Pikes Peak Area Council of Governments supported the bill. “We know flash flooding from intense storms over the Waldo Canyon burn scar area are a serious threat to our local communities,” stated Carver. “Residents in El Paso and Teller counties have volunteered thousands of hours to assist with debris removal and re-vegetation, after the Waldo Canyon fire. Our flood mitigation efforts, including the construction of numerous detention basins and other structures, are essential to slowing down the water flow and reducing the flash flooding hazard. We cannot tie up these life-saving efforts in costly, time-consuming water court litigation. I was honored to work with State Senator Jerry Sonnenberg and State Representative Faith Winter in this bipartisan effort to protect our communities.”

t was a different world back then.
In 1965, Lyndon Johnson was president, Operation Rolling Thunder has just began in Viet Nam, civil rights unrest in the States, Charlie Brown (the comic strip) makes the cover of Time magazine. Here in Woodland Park, an important convergence was taking place. Three forces were emerging on the landscape, that were to forever change the Pikes Peak region. A bank, an iconic western retail store, and newspaper, opened doors for business — and immediately became institutions — that for the next 50 years would weave their way into the fabric of what means to live above the clouds. With this edition, we salute those 50 years of blood, sweat and tears endured. We mark the successes, rises to challenges, and the dreams, both realized and ‘back-burnered.’ We welcome in the next 50 years, expecting nothing less from the venerated institutions they have become, looking always forward to the wonders the years will bring to us at Park State Bank. Cowhand, and the Courier. May our home always be too small, to hold all of our friends.

Park State celebrates 50 years

By Pat Hill
phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com There’s a certain Western romantic theme to the origins of Park State Bank & Trust. Tony Perry, the bank’s president, tells the story that begins in the 1800s when the Thatchers, John and Mahlon, left Pennsylvania in a covered wagon and settled down in Pueblo. “They had a little safe and called it a bank,” Perry said. The brothers eased into the business by offering “seed” loans to entrepreneurs, sugar farmers, or prospectors, for instance. “By the 1920s the brothers were worth around $20 to $30 million, with banks from New Mexico all the way to Wyoming,” Perry said. “This is the last bank the family owns; they’ve sold all the others over the years.” In 1891 John Thatcher built the threestory, 24,000 square-foot Rosemount mansion at 14th and Greenwood for his wife and family. Today, the mansion is a museum, a gift to the city of Pueblo from the Thatcher family. In Monument, the family of Mahlon Thatcher has endowed the Western Museum of Mining. Today, the bank retains its ties to the Thatchers. “The majority owner, Kit Spahn, is actually third-generation, along with her sisters,” Perry said, adding that Tiffany Spahn is the fourth-generation owner.
The family has historical significance in Colorado. Kit Spahn’s father was an attorney and her grandfather was the first attorney general in the state. “Kit still lives on the family ranch in Black Forest but spends winters in California; she’s still very involved in the bank,” Perry said.
Park State Bank & Trust Today
Fifty years after opening in Woodland Park the bank retains the home-town touch, one tinged with Western myth and a philosophical culture that ensures vibrancy and vitality. “What’s cool about the story is that they were always community banks, always supportive of the local communities and, more than 100 years later, we’re essentially doing the same thing,” Perry said. “For me, one of my personal check points is that I need to respect who I work for because I put a lot of effort and energy into what I do.” When the financial crisis that began in 2007 caused economic devastation among business owners, particularly those in the construction industry, the personal aspect played a significant role in the bank’s remaining vital. “I respect our shareholders and their commitment to the community, which really showed through in the crisis, where they stepped up and added additional capital to make sure we stayed on a strong footing,” Perry said.
Renee Taylor, who owns My Sweet Escape Bakery in Woodland Park, made the cake for the 50th anniversary party April 23 at Park State Bank & Trust. Photo by Ken Matthews Low-key rather than flamboyant, the shareholders usually stay in the background, Perry said. “But in our 50th year it felt right to spotlight them a little bit, just tell the story.”

and desist order from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Among the list of general concerns for all banks that receive the order is the lack of sufficient capital. “We’re not quite off the order yet but we’ve done enough work that we’re going to get there this summer after the next exam,” he said. “The positive is that I’ve gone from managing from a defensive posture to protect the bank to being proactive - what are the next 50 years going to look like?” The Great Recession and the subsequent FDIC order have influenced operations at the bank today. “As difficult as the last six years have been, I think the crisis made us re-evaluate a lot of things, not only as a bank and a business but as a community and a nation,” he said. “It’s time to re-think how we do some
things.” However, during the recession it was community banks such as Park State that continued to support economic activity, he said. “I think the real challenge for community banks is to find new ways to meet the regulatory burden of economies of scale,” he said. “We have to find ways to support the community, new ways to support our small businesses and our other customers. “I think it’s an exciting challenge, one that can be met. There are some creative things we can do which can change how business is done at a fundamental level,” he said. In August 2003, Park State Bank moved from its original location at the corner of U.S. 24 and Highway 67 to the architectural gem of glass, timber and stone. Perry, along with former president, Bob Eichman and several shareholders celebrated the bank’s 50 years with a ribbon-cutting ceremony April 23.

Cowhand looks toward future
By Pat Hill
phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com
Despite the tumultuous changes in the retail industry over the past 50 years, The Cowhand retains its hold on the market. “We’ve always tried to accommodate the needs of the community all these 50 years, which is probably why we’re still here,” said Merry Jo Larsen, co-owner with Marty McKenna, of The Cowhand, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. In the years before 83 percent of Teller County residents commuted to work, most of them to Colorado Springs, competition from other businesses popped up occasionally. “They come and they go but it’s hard to deal with the chain stores” Larsen said. With an evolving marketing plan, The Cowhand follows trends in its merchandising model. “We’re going to re-evaluate now, look at our customer base, who lives here now and who needs what?” Larsen said. “I think we’re into hiking and walking shoes and boots, hats that are more outdoors rather than Western; we’ll keep the Western because we still have that customer.” The re-evaluation is another in a long-standing tradition of filling gaps in consumer needs. “We’ve sold furniture, taxidermy things, sporting goods, bath towels, department-store things, because at that time no one had these,” she said. Known for their Western-themed hats, which today are fashionable even for those who are not part of the horse culture, The
Clothes to Cowhand culture, the store has be able to surprise folks for 50 years, and remains part of Woodland Park way of life. Cowhand distinguishes the city as a class act. “People who aren’t Western who live here - we can give them a unique look that fits Woodland Park,” Larsen said. For merchants who have staying power, some issues never seem to go away. “After 50 years we’re still fighting the same things, traffic, the bypass, locals shopping locally there are people who still shop in Colorado Springs - and those tax dollars are not supporting their community,” Larsen said. In a time when large chain stores buy merchandise in bulk, The Cowhand banks on personalized customer service and shopping with customers in mind. “It’s our faithful loyal customers - we recognize them and try to get things they want,” she said. “We try to treat customers right because we appreciate them.” No matter how frustrating the retail business can be, Larsen looks on the bright
The mother-daughter duo, Marty McKenna and Merry Jo Larsen, are partners in The Cowhand, which celebrates 50 years in Woodland Park this year. Photos by Pat Hill side. “It’s little stores like this that can shop around and be more consumer-friendly with the locals,” Larsen said. `It’s an interesting store, that’s what our customers tell us.” As far as the future is concerned, the
mother-daughter duo is staying put. “I don’t know how long that will be, don’t know how bad the traffic is going to get,” Larsen said. “Marty has no plans and I have no plans to leave. This is our home and we’re proud of our little town.”
We would like to thank all of Teller County and the Ute Pass Community for your continued support throughout our fifty years. We are proud to be a part of your community. We look forward to serving you for another fifty years!

About Us
Your Community Bank The majority shareholders’ family have been involved in
community banking in Colorado since the late 1800’s. “From the beginning, they supported entrepreneurs and small businesses,” said Tony Perry, Park State Bank & Trust President & CEO.
Even during the depression there was a legacy of support and giving back to their communities. The family donated the Rosemount and its contents to the City of Pueblo. In Colorado Springs they assembled artifacts and made an endowment to create the Western Museum of Mining & Industry.
“We thank our customers and the entire community for the support over the past five decades. We are proud to continue to offer unparalleled local service and expertise backed by a commitment to you and our community.”
The commitment by the family to our community was demonstrated by the purchase of Park State Bank; a decision that laid the ground work to celebrate today, our 50th Anniversary.
-- Tony Perry President & CEO Park State Bank & Trust
For the last half century, thousands of individual and business customers have turned to their community bank for their financial needs. Furthermore, the current majority owners of the bank continue to honor their heritage and display the same commitment to community and small businesses. During the economic crisis, arguably the most dramatic economic event in our lifetime, the majority and minority shareholders stayed resolute in their strong support of the bank and of our community. Our customers inspired us during this difficult economic time by fighting and finding new ways to survive the day, then week, then month and eventually years. We will always look our customers in the eye, take the time to hear their story and look for better ways to serve them and tell them how we can accomplish “Yes”. As we look to our next 50 years as your community bank, we will continue to find new ways to innovate as well as creative ways to earn and keep your business.

50 years with the same family
Three generations have bought boots, hats and more By Merry Jo Larsen For the Courier
The Cowhand is the only 50-year, same-family owned business in Woodland Park. We have sold hats and boots to three generations of families for 50 years. Folks who lived here in the past and returned all say it’s a pleasure to see a landmark/business they still recognize. The changes to our town are “pretty” but they aren’t Woodland Park. The Rodeo and Rodeo arena are gone, the horses are gone, the history of Woodland Park is gone. To the new residents moving to Woodland Park because they love our little town, be very cautious you don’t create the place you came from. In 1963 the Stulls and Mills owned a riding stable at the end of Paint Pony Country Club Golf Course. We provided horses to Mrs. English and her girls at Camp WaNaka. They had 25-30 head of horses. At that time you could not buy horse tack in Woodland Park. The Cowhand started out as a tack store and quickly became a full Western store. The first Cowhand, in 1965, was in the Wash House (where Curves is now). We remodeled, moved in the end of April 1965. It was very small, about the size of our boot room today. We outgrew that before we even moved in. Pete Brown had built Browncraft restaurant; he outgrew that and bought the Snake Pit (where Tweeds is today). We moved into the Browncraft log building less than a year later and were there through 1966. If 50 years determines a landmark, the horse on our roof is just that. He’s the same horse. If my memory serves me right, about four times he’s been taken on a ride or painted. He has been Buckskin, Bay, White, and now, Paint. When he went up as a Paint, we had a naming contest and “Arrow” won. If any of you out there were part of his excursions, we would love to hear the stories. I’m sure it was no easy task getting him off the roof. The Cowhand moved to our current location in the spring of 1967. It was Clifford’s Grocery store. We moved the store inventory in grocery carts from Les Clark at Circle Soopers. It took all our friends pushing carts to get us into our new home. The dressing rooms were walk-in coolers. The hats were in the meat department. The boot room was the pool hall. There is a lot of history in this old building. In 1979 the Stulls built a second Cowhand in Colorado Springs across from the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame. After managing the Cowhand for several years, Lloyd and Merry Jo Larsen bought The Cowhand from her parents, the Stulls, in 1982. Through those years The Cowhand sponsored Packing Seminars for the hunters and backwoods horse-
men. There were six horses, tents, factory representatives and more. It looked like a hunting camp behind The Cowhand. As well, The Cowhand co-sponsored a horses’ sale that was very successful. It was held at Bergstrom Arena. We co-sponsored a Longhorn cattle show that drove the cattle down U.S. 24 into the arena. The cattle were unloaded in the arena at Draggin Ass Ranch. Grey Horse Ranch was our horse pasture at that time. The cowboys circled the cattle around the pasture a few times to take the edge off. They brought them up West Street to U.S. 24, turned right, came down “24” to Park and then into Bergstrom Arena. The only casualties were the newlyplanted pansies at Mountain National Bank. They were good sports and the show was successful. Fun was had by all. The Cowhand did “Cowboys with Culture,” an art and fashion show at the Saddle Club. It was a formal Friday night party and sold several art pieces. There was a two-day show that was also successful. Dixie Clare from Florissant invited her artist friends from Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, Arizona and New Mexico. Thank you, Dixie. “Cowhand Cattle Drives and Ranch Rodeos” were one of our bigger undertakings; people came from across the United States as well as from other countries. Gary Keck and Deb Grant furnished horses from their Cripple Creek Stables; Carlton and Belinda Brown from Victor were with us for the first two years. It was hard work but we met some nice people and even changed some lives. We have some great stories. We couldn’t have done the drives and rodeos without Lloyd Larsen — a very heartfelt thank-you to him and all of our friends for their hard work and contributions. In the late `90s, Marty, my daughter, came home from the Navy. She grew up in The Cowhand, so it was a natural fit for her as a partner. Merry Jo was ready to do something else and close The Cowhand. Marty stepped in, remodeled and restructured operations, gave me a year off (until I decided I wasn’t ready to retire after all). With her enthusiasm and determination to make it to 50 years, here we are. In spite of a bad economy, Big Box, fires and floods, we have survived. The Cowhand has some very loyal customers and we send a sincere “thank you” for your support. They are why our doors are still open. Marty and I have no plans of going anywhere. We will be selling reasonably-priced, quality goods for years to come. Our old “sales rep” told me you “you can’t sell out of an empty wagon.” There are plans all year to celebrate our 50th year, sales, drawings, a street dance and more through New Year’s Eve. Stop by, sign up and see what we’re doing.

In 1965 The Cowhand opened at 100 W. Moreno Ave. It remained there until late 1966; the painted horse Buckskin, fondly referred to as “Buck” stood out front. The business outgrew the building almost as soon as it
moved in and relocated to 200 W. Midland Ave. where it is today. The owners, Howard and Joan Stull, were partners with Jerry and Mary Linda Mills on the store and Dude Stables just north of town at the end of the Paint Pony Country Club Golf Course. As businesses continued to grow, the partnership was dissolved and The Cowhand remained with the Stulls and their daughter, Merry Jo. Specializing in hard-to-find sizes, shaping hats, stretching boots and making chaps The Cowhand was a regular shop for locals as well as those passing though, especially for the guests who stayed at the Paradise Ranch during its heyday. Merry Jo returned to work at The Cowhand in 1973 while starting her own family in Divide. The Cowhand hosted numerous style shows at various venues until Bob Yarbough who developed Cripple Creek Mountain Estates approached Howard and Joan to purchase land across from the soon-to-open Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame in Colorado to build the second Cowhand. They broke ground in 1978 on the new store, creating the opportunity for Larsen to become manager of the Woodland Park location three years later. The Cowhand was purchased by the second generation, Merry Jo and Lloyd Larsen, and became the first business account established at Mountain National Bank. The Cowhand sponsored style shows and supported local rodeo queens’ clinics until 1985 when the second location was closed as Howard and Joan retired. In 1989 The Cowhand hosted a packing and outfitting seminar in the back parking lot, complete with hunting camp, saddles and tack from four different companies, along with Randy and Brenda Myers of Mule Creek Ranch, with six pack horses and a mule. Two certified packing instructors from Wyoming taught the hands-on portion of the seminar for more than 15 participants. In 1986 they held the longhorn cattle drive and show co-sponsored by the Woodland Park Saddle Club. The cattle were provided by Darrell Dickson’s registered longhorns. The cattle were fathered at the Draggin Ass Ranch, which is now Grey Horse Ranch. The 80 head of Longhorn cattle were driven down West Street to U.S. 24 down Midland Avenue to Park Street and into the Saddle Club grounds. It was a parade of cowboys, horses and cows through the downtown business district of Woodland Park. The only casualties were the newlyplanted pansies at Mountain National Bank. In 1993 The Cowhand sponsored the first cattle drives over five years as well as ranch rodeos and a number of brandings. In 1995 Marty McKenna, the third generation, returned from the Navy to resume working at The Cowhand until 1999 when she took over as manager after Merry Jo’s brief attempt at retirement. Following the renovation of the interior, Merry Jo returned as a series of business-altering events changed the retail landscape of Woodland Park. Co-owned and operation by Larsen and McKenna, The Cowhand remains familyowned and operated today.

Local connection remains strong COMMENTS FROM READERS
By Pat Hill
phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com Known by the old-timers as the Ute Pass Courier, the weekly newspaper celebrates 50 years this month. While the paper is now called the Pikes Peak Courier, the local connection remains strong. Today, with one editor and a full-time reporter, along with a sports writer and a smattering of freelancers, the Courier covers the news and human-interest stories in somewhat the same fashion as always. From west El Paso County to the entire span of Teller County, the “Courier” has a presence in the communities. People call us with their news, whether sorrow or joyous.
THE SPERRY FAMILY Gene Sperry recalls the days when he and his wife Carol owned the weekly paper from 1978 to 1982. “They printed the paper in Littleton,” he said. “I’d drive the pages up there and wait and then drive back.” Rain, sleet, hail or snow, Sperry made sure the papers arrived in Woodland Park on time. “Later on, Intermountain Press open a press shop in Colorado Springs; that was better,” he said. When the Sperrys bought the paper the office was at 108 N. Park, where the Clothes Closet is today. While Gene sold ads, Carol did the bookkeeping. “We hired an editor, Chuck Manson,” Sperry said. Some of yesterday’s issues remain, Sperry said. “The roads, the snow, people were mad when the snowplows buried their driveways, same as today,” he said. Letters to the editor always posed a risk; for instance, during a race for sheriff, one of the candidates wrote a letter that Sperry deemed libelous. “I wouldn’t run it,” he said. Some comments from public officials made Sperry shake his head at times. “One of them told us `you put in what I said, not what I meant,’” he said.
On the other hand, Clarke Becker, perennial public official from 1986 to 2003, was chagrined at times over the “what I meant” issue. “Sometimes I’d think, `oh, did I really say that? That’s not what I meant,’” Becker said. “But Pat (Hill) always had her tape recorder on, so I knew I said it.” Becker remained good-natured, no matter what was reported. “I’ve always admired your newspaper. But you and Ruth (Zirkle, former editor) were not shy about holding my feet to the fire,” Becker said. “But I knew I could trust you because you both are responsible journalists. With other publications I felt I had to be guarded in what I said.” Becker recalls when he gave Hill a heads-up on the entrance of a large business into the area. “I was honest with you and promised to give you the story when it was time,” he said, referring to Sturman Industries. “It was important to me to have that announcement in our local newspaper. But we didn’t want anything to happen if we made the news public before it was time.” Executive director of the Colorado Rural Development Council, today Becker travels all over the state. “Wherever I go I tell public officials to develop a relationship with the press,” he said.
THE PAPER AND ECONOMIC GROWTH
Brian Fleer director of community and economic affairs in the early 1990s, played a key role in the growth of the city. “Woodland Park was a community that was ready to take off, so professionally I was interested in working here,” Fleer said. “We were long over-due from being just a one-grocery store town.” In those days, when Zirkle was the editor, Fleer’s kids were in the news. “It was always exciting to read about our kids,” he said. “I always thought the Courier did a good job reporting on sports, schools and special events. I thought Ruth was top-notch.” As a quotable public official, Fleer kept track of the paper. “I always thought the Courier did a good job of profiling leaders, which gave you
an understanding of what was going on in the community,” he said. “I always looked at the Courier as representing the pulse of Woodland Park.” Fleer left his position in in 1995 and, two years ago, returned as the director of Economic and Downtown Development. “I always looked at the Courier as a partner - I still do,” he said. Under Zirkle, news from the city council was enticing, particularly when Richard Carvel, a sometimes-thorn in the side of the council, showed up. “This community has always had a group of individuals who focused on making the community better,” Fleer said. In the past few years, the city has been the recipient of significant investments. “Millions of dollars have come into this community, from infrastructure and roads to commercial and housing,” Fleer said. “From 1995 to 2005 we had unprecedented growth and I think the Courier was supportive of that growth cycle, reported on the leaders that made that happen.”
A FORMER EMPLOYEE RECALLS THE GOOD OL’ DAYS
Peggy Ezard came to the Courier in 1986, one of 15 employees that included reporters, ad “reps” and production staff. “We set the type back then,” said Ezard, the paper’s production manager. “We’d pick fonts from strips, put them into the machines; sometimes they’d work, sometimes not.” In those days, the staff used a large table upstairs to paste the text to the flats. “Everybody helped,” she said. “We developed film in the dark room - we had two full-time photographers.” In 1998, Ezard and her staff were given Apple II computers. “The computers had little screens; they told us how to turn them on and off and said we’d have to use these to put the paper out next week. Yeah, we did it!” Ezard worked for the newspaper until 2004. “The best part of the job was the people,” she said. “We had hard-working people at the newspaper.” As it is today, something is going on all the time at the newspaper. “The Courier was a good place to work,” she said.
HEADLINES FROM THE PAST By Kathy Fleer
kfleer@coloradocommunitymedia.com Ute Trail Stampede July 23, 1964: The rodeo made the front page of the first Courier, as it did in many issues after that. The first issue was geared toward promoting the three day event. Street Signs June 10, 1965: That was before the city thought about paving streets. The proposal was for the small green and white street signs that still mark the roadways. Memorial Library Jan. 20, 1966: The first step toward gaining a library in the area. Later the city and county approved two library districts. The area now has five. Florissant Bill Jan. 25, 1968: This action was the first step to establish the Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument. The park is celebrating its 20th anniversary this summer. Eric Dickson June 6, 1968: The reality of war hit home
when Dickson was killed. He was Woodland Park and Teller County’s first Vietnam War casualty. Highway Expansion September 1971: The State Highway Department proposed four lanes for Highway 24 from Cascade west. The issue continued until bids were entered a couple years later. Bond Rejected Nov. 23, 1971: A bond issue for a new middle school was rejected, one of several rejections the school district faced. 7-11 Plans Store July 6, 1972: The first of several convenience stores announced plans to locate in Woodland Park. Brookhart’s also announced a new store in 1972. 24 Bypass Question March 14, 1974: With the widening of Highway 24, the issue of bypassing downtown Woodland Park became a heated issue. The question was put on the April election ballot in 1974 and met defeat by more than three to one. Rampart Reservoir Aug. 29, 1974: The public recreation area
opened Aug. 31. The reservoir area is one of the most well used recreational facilities in the Teller County area. Stoplight Scheduled April 22, 1976: The City’s first stoplight was proposed for Highway 24 and Fairview. One year later a study was proposed for a stoplight at the intersection of highways 67 and24. Teller Earthquake Jan. 11, 1979: An earthquake rated 2.5 to 3.0 on the scale shook homes around the area. Very little damage was reported. Medical Center May 15, 1980: Plans were made to establish an emergency medical center in Woodland Park. Langstaff-Brown Medical Center is operated by St. Francis Hospital and recently received a clean bill of health after reports of financial losses. New Bank in Town July 30, 1981: Mountain National Bank announced plans to build in Woodland Park. Jim and Charlie Oaks would go on to run the bank. Resignations
Jan. 31, 1985: Four key city employees left their positions, including city manager Kirk Relford, building inspector Mark Elder, parks and recreation director Sue Elder and public works director Larry Iverson. Bergstrom Dies March 13, 1986: Bert Bergstrom was a major figure in the development of Woodland Park and donated nine acres of land for the rodeo grounds. Bond Wins Big Oct. 9, 1986: Probably the biggest headline to run on the front page, this one announced a successful bond issue for a new elementary school. Crowd Opposes Center Dec. 19, 1987: Hundreds of residents and merchants packed Woodland Park City Hall to protest granting public funds to lure new businesses, specifically a shopping center with a Wal-Mart store. The issue ended up on the city election ballot and in a controversial court battle.

FLAGS THROUGH THE YEARS Several flags have identified the front page of the Pikes Peak Courier throughout the yeas. The biggest design changes were mostly when the paper changed owners. The first flag was design around a horse back rider. Later, mountains were added to the design. This design was used longer than any of the others.
50 YEARS AGO The Church In The Wildwood is pleased to announce that the Rev. J. Paul Tatter has accepted the call to their church. His first Sunday in the pulpit as their minister will be May 16, 1965.

Cadets volunteer for wildfire preparedness Staff report U.S. Air Force Academy Cadets joined the Coalition for the Upper South Platte as part of National Wildfire Community Preparedness Day last week to raise awareness about wildfire risk and effective wildfire mitigation. This volunteer project focused on mitigating important transportation routes in the Palmer Lake area that will be critical for resident evacuation and firefighter personnel in the event of a wildfire. Efforts to haul, stack, and chip slash during this wildfire mitigation project will help protect homes, neighborhoods, and communities, while increasing safety for wildland firefighters. As evidenced by recent, devastating wildfires, high-intensity wildfire continues to pose a major threat in Colorado, particularly in the wildland-urban interface. Proven wildfire mitigation techniques greatly reduce the risk of wildfire to lives and property, and improve the health of our forests. Wildfire is a natural and inevitable part of our environment, so communities must work together to proactively prepare for wildfire. National Wildfire Preparedness Day is part of a nationwide movement to increase awareness about wildfire and motivate communities to prepare. About the Coalition for the Upper South Platte The Coalition for the Upper South Platte is dedicated to protecting the water quality and ecological health of the Upper South Platte Watershed, trough the cooperative efforts of watershed stakeholders, with emphasis placed on community values and economic sustainability. The 2,600 square mile Upper South Platte Watershed, located southwest of Denver and stretching from Strontia Springs to the Continental Divide, is a critical water source for the majority of Colorado residents, provides an abundance of recreational opportunities, and is home to unique ecosystems and rare species. Since 1998, CUSP has been working with partners and communities to sustainability manage the Upper South Platte Watershed and connecting watersheds for the benefit of all stakeholders, now and in the future.
May 2, Palmer Lake residents were assisted by 30 USAFA cadets under the direction of The Coalition for the Upper South Platte in community fire mitigation efforts.

WP woman initiates boutique for Nepal By Pat Hill
phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com Feeling isolated in Woodland Park from her loved ones in Nepal, Khandu Lama Joseph is wracked by the photographs from her mother’s village, which was destroyed in the earthquake last month. “What can I do? My heart is breaking for the children,” she said. Devoted to promoting education for children in Nepal, Lama Joseph has devised a way to help rebuild the school.
“I’d like to have a boutique sale of items of clothing, jewelry, bags and scarves,” she said. Because Nepal is a base for human traffickers, especially of children, Lama Joseph feels a sense of urgency. “The children are easy targets for traffickers,” she said. Looking at a photograph of a little boy crying for his mother after the earthquake, Lama Joseph is emotional. “I’m compelled to help,” she said. “I can’t just sit here and not do something.” Founder of Asha Gifts, an online shop that sells products made by villagers such as those in the Helambu area, Lama

Joseph hopes to recreate the theme with the boutique in Woodland Park. “I want to help my people,” she said. “I’m desperate to get back.” In addition to collecting items from the community for a sale, for which the date will be announced, Lama Joseph seeks donations online through the Mondo Foundation and the link “Donate Now.” For now, Lama Joseph has no immediate plans to travel to Nepal. “I am hoping to go at some point; I want to be involved,” she said. While the world and humanitarian organizations are focused on helping the people in Nepal, Lama Joseph sees an end to the interest. “Once the cameras are gone, they will still need help,” she said. “The suffering will still be there.” For information about the boutique, call Lama Joseph at 719 354-6438 or 719 343-7818.

Lake George Charter acknowledges 135 volunteers, 4,431 hours By Sonja Oliver
Contributing writer Lake George Charter is a small, rural elementary school with a current student population of 119 children, which is why the community volunteer participation is remarkable.
School Administrator Bill Fredenburg addressed volunteer’s accomplishments at a Volunteer Recognition reception held on Thursday, Apr. 23 saying that volunteers “make a world of difference” and, quoting James Allen ‘No duty is more urgent than that of returning thanks.’
Fredenburg cited some incredible statistics: 135 volunteers, 4,431 volunteers hours and a four-to-one volunteer to student ratio. Fifty of the 135 volunteers are not parents but community members who see the importance of investing in the future generation.
“Many are retired community members without direct ties to the school who share their resources and knowledge with us,” Fredenburg said. Fredenburg said volunteers help the school to expand its impact on children’s education in areas such as: tutoring for math
and reading, sports activities, arts in education, science and cultural programs, security, as well as fundraising efforts by Lion’s Pride. Fredenburg also cited another quote of which the author is unknown: “‘If you want to touch the future, touch (the life) of a child.’”

Western spruce budworm damages as destructive defoliator Pest prevalent in Teller County last few years By Mark J. Platten
Colorado State University Extension Director for Teller County The western spruce budworm (WSBW ), Choristoneura occidentalis Freeman, is the most widely distributed and destructive forest defoliator in western North America. An outbreak has been prevalent throughout Teller County over the past three-to-four years and is likely to continue into 2015. Their primary host is the Douglas-fir, although they will also be found on white fir, Engelmann spruce, blue spruce, and subalpine fir. The budworm larvae emerge from their hibernacula in early May through late June and begin feeding on old needles until the new buds emerge, hence their name. They emerge as tiny larvae, approximately 1/8-1/4 inch, with yellow-green bodies and a brown head. As the new needles continue to lengthen, the rapidly developing larvae continue to feed. It is during this phase that most of the damage occurs when they loosely web the new foliage together, feeding in relative protection from predators. You may not even notice them until they drop, or hang, from the affected trees, attached by what appears to be spider-like thread. They go through six stages of growth with the final larvae between 1-1.25 inches in length, with tan or light-brown heads, and brownish-olive bodies. Each mature body segment has two conspicuous pairs of white spots. This process of growth takes approximately 40 days, at which time the larvae pupates and the adult moths emerge 7-10 days later. Some of the first moths identified last year emerged from several Douglas-fir trees along the Lovell Gulch trail on July 15, 2014. After mating, the females lay masses of overlapping, green eggs on the undersides of host tree needles. The young larvae hatch in approximately 10 days and move to crevices under bark scales, or lichen, where they spin silken hibernacula and overwinter. This completes their cycle, with one generation per year. The greatest impact to mature trees is reduced growth because the new needles photosynthesize more efficiently than mature needles. Multiple years of defoliation can lead to branch tip loss, top death, and even tree mortality. Saplings and young stands directly beneath the mature host trees are especially affected as the larvae disperse from above, significantly reducing growth, killing tree tops, and potentially leading to mortality. Even if the WSBW doesn’t kill your trees, the injury and stress will make your trees more succeptible to secondary infestations of Douglas-fir beetles and other insects/diseases, which may lead to the death of your trees. Control: In most years, the natural predation via arachnids, parasites, climate, and birds will keep them in check. Adverse weather conditions, especially sudden freezes toward the end of May when the larvae have just emerged, could kill a significant portion of the larvae. Unfortunately, with our relatively mild winters over the past decade, this may not be likely. With three plus years of fairly heavy outbreaks in Teller County, you may want to consider other measures. Cultural practices such as thinning, watering, and fertilizing enhance tree vigor, which may help them withstand repeated attacks. Chemical control is often used to protect high-value trees, much the same way as we protect against mountain pine beetles. For more information on chemical use, please see Washington State University Extension’s Forest Health Note: http://ext.nrs.wsu.edu/forestryext/foresthealth/notes/ westernbudworm.htm One successful control agent is a naturally-occurring bacteria, Bacillus thuringiensis, or B.t. It is specific to larvae without having any adverse effects on the environment. See the CSU Extension Fact Sheet http://www.ext.colostate.edu/pubs/insect/05556.html for more information on B.t. It is often cost prohibitive to spray your entire property, especially if you have large parcels of land; although, there are several subdivisions in the county and adjoining areas that have conducted aerial spraying, generally ranging around $55 per acre. If you are interested in aerial spraying, contact Mike Till, a forester with the Colorado State Forest Service office in Woodland Park at 719-687-2921. He will put your name on a list since the sprayer requires a minimum of 450 acres for treatment. Even with aerial spraying, only the top of the canopy is covered. Between spraying and predation, hopefully the outbreak can be put in check and most of the trees saved. The best time to spray is the two-to-three weeks following bud break, generally occurring early, to mid, June. For a list of forest contractors who may be qualified to spray your individual trees, please contact the Colorado State Forest Service. Mark J. Platten is the Colorado State University Extension Director for Teller County. Extension’s focus is bringing the research-based information from the university to the community.

Panthers finish baseball season 8-10 Woodland Park unable to get last game in due to inclement weather By Danny Summers
dsummers@coloradocommunitymedia.com Woodland Park’s baseball season ended early due to the forces of Mother Nature. The Panthers’ final game against Harrison, scheduled for May 5, was postponed and then cancelled as snow, rain, hail and wind wreaked havoc on all sports last week. Woodland Park finished its season with an 8-10 record. Interestingly, the make-up game against Harrison was a rescheduled game from earlier in the
season when that game was snowed out. The Harrison game was supposed to be Woodland Park’s day to honor its seniors. “Harrison told us they would only play on (May 5),” said Woodland Park coach Cliff Richardson. “We tried to schedule another team, but it didn’t work out. The only window we had would have been Thursday (May 7), but even then our field was still pretty damp.” Instead of a ball game to honor his seniors, Richardson took the team to AJ’s Pizza. “It sort of had that Little League feel to it,” Richardson said with a smile. “We didn’t have the flowers and all that stuff, but we had a great time.” The Panthers’ seven seniors are Anthony Woods, Justin Logsdon, Nash Grayckowski, Dakota Herman, Logan Herberger, Brandon Alex-
ander, Sean DeRamus. Barring any move-outs or transfers, Woodland Park should return eight players who either started or saw significant playing time this season. The list consists of junior catcher Zach Allen (.372 batting average, 11 RBIs), junior pitcher/ outfielder Jason Kekich (.315, 12 RBIs), junior outfielder Zack Hess (.389, 5 extra base hits), junior third baseman/pitcher Jake Jansma (.281), junior utility player Tyler Bates (.391), sophomore second baseman Sam Levy (.421), sophomore utility player Cole Trichell (.292) and sophomore outfielder Conner Elliott (.267). Woodland Park will play a freelance summer league schedule. Del Garrick, the school’s principal and former baseball coach, will coach the varsity, while Richardson works with the incoming freshmen and next year’s sophomores.

Three more Woodland Park student athletes ink college deals Katelyn Kemp, Tommy Hancock and Halle Brimm were honored during May 4 ceremony By Danny Summers
dsummers@colorado communitymedia.com Woodland Park High School student athletes Katelyn Kemp, Tommy Hancock and Halle Brimm were honored during a ceremony in the school’s gymnasium on May 4 as they signed their national letters of intent. Kemp, a basketball player who will attend Lamar Community College, was second on the Panthers in scoring last season with 11.5 points per game and helped Woodland Park to a 10-13 record. The victory total was the most in the history of the program. “I just visited (Lamar) not too long ago,” Kemp said. “I went to Otero and had a little tryout. It came down to deciding and I really liked Lamar. It’s a nice campus.” Kemp began her high school career at Fountain-Fort Carson. She transferred to Woodland Park prior to her junior year and was a two-year varsity starter. The 5-foot-11 Kemp joins a Lamar team that was second in the nation in scoring last season among all junior college teams with nearly 100 points per game. Runnin’ Lopes coach Tom Sutherland was on hand for the ceremony along with two of his players; one of which was former Coronado star Taryn Frazier, who averaged 15 points and 11 rebounds for Coronado as a senior.
“They rotate in and out every 30 seconds,” said Kemp, who plans to major in special education. “It’s a very fast pace. A lot of threes. It’s a really quick rotation so I’ll be seeing a lot of minutes. It will be a lot of fun.” Kemp is president of Woodland Park’s chapter of Best Buddies, a program for special education students that attend the high school. Kemp’s Woodland Park coach this past season was her mother, Kris. “She just wanted to study and play ball; it really didn’t matter where,” Kris said. “At one time she said `I want to play for Baylor.’ But when it came down to it she just wanted to be play ball somewhere and have it be a good fit.” Kris Kemp has two more daughters - Abby and Nikki - that will be involved in the Woodland Park program next season. Hancock, a four-year member of the school’s varsity wrestling team, will be headed Division II Colorado State University-Pueblo where he is a preferred walkon. If he makes the team he will go on scholarship. He decided on CSU-Pueblo over the weekend. He trains with the United States Army World Class Athlete program based at Fort Carson. “I’m in a lot of pain right now,” Hancock said with a smile. “My ear is swelled up, my elbow is hyper-extended, my tendon is damaged, my nerves are destroyed, and my back is just all messed up right now. And my knee is messed up.” Hancock, a two-time qualifier for the state wrestling tournament who was seeded fourth at 120 pounds as a senior, is excited to be training with the older wrestlers

at Fort Carson. “I’m picking up a lot of skill and techniques,” Hancock said. “They’re beating the crap out of me right now, but it’s making me better.” Hancock, who posted a 42-7 record as a senior, including a first-round victory at state, considered Marion Military Institute in Alabama, University of Northern Colorado and Kansas Northwest Technical College in Goodland. Woodland Park wrestling coach Keith Sieracki praised Hancock for his tremendous work ethic. “When most of the other kids decide they want to go home and do something else other than wrestle on the weekends, Tommy is willing to do the extra,” said Sieracki, who wrestled for the Army World Class program, for nearly two decades. “He’s willing to go to the tournaments 150 miles away where there are only six kids in his weight class. All that extra stuff is what gets you over the hump, and whatever I tell him to do he does it. “I always say if you listen and work hard you will be successful. He does all the above.” Brimm was a member of Woodland Park’s cheer team and will be taking her talents to Colorado State University in Fort Collins. Brimm won the Golden Megaphone Award given out annually by Woodland Park coach Allison Weismann. “After just a year of cheerleading for us she took on that leadership role,” Weismann said. “She came to us with a lot of dancing experience. Those skills, along with her hard work and dedication, allowed her to grow as a cheerleader.”

Erickson aiming for gold at state track meet Woodland Park senior Hayden Erickson is the favorite to win the Class 4A state shot put title this weekend By Danny Summers
dsummers@coloradocommunitymedia.com At 6-foot-5, 280 pounds, Hayden Erickson stands out in most crowds. The Woodland Park High School senior hopes he stands out as the top shot put thrower when the best athletes gather this weekend for the state track and field meet. “Now that I have more of my technique down it’s taken a little bit of weight off my shoulders knowing I can throw even farther than I have been,” Erickson said. “It feels really good to be up there in first place. I know that people are close to me, but it feels good to know that I can beat them if I have good throws.” Erickson is first in all of Class 4A in the shot put with a throw of 53 feet, 1.5 inches recorded at the Pueblo Twilight on May 1. Pueblo Central’s Beau Gordon is second (51-7). Erickson has been leading the pack most of the season. Erickson is ranked fourth in the state among all classifications. Mountain Range’s (5A) is first at 54-2. Erickson is ranked fifth in the discus. He had his best throw of 153-1 at the Cougar Classic on April 24 at Garry Berry Stadium. He is 11 feet back of Canon City’s Austin Bryan, who is first at 164-11. This is Erickson’s third trip to the state tournament, which takes place May 14-16 at Jefferson County Stadium in Lakewood. He placed ninth as a junior, one spot behind teammate Randy Westfall. Erickson did not place as a sophomore. He narrowly missed qualifying for state as a freshman. “I’ve put in a lot of practice, getting in the weight room every day,” said Erickson, whose best shot put throw as a junior was 50-6. “I’m getting stronger and working hard. “Throwing the shot is a lot of technique and strength. A lot of the strength comes from the legs and upper body. If you’re just throwing with your upper body it’s not going to go very far. You have to get your whole body into it.” Depending how you look at it, Erickson either trains at the ideal practice facility or the oddest. The Panthers’ throwers work out on the old asphalt tennis court in the front of the school while the rest of the track team is several hundreds of yards away on the other side of the school. When the weather conditions are poor, the athletes train indoors in the school’s gymnasiums or hallways. Woodland Park throws coach Brett Nelson has worked with Erickson the last two seasons.
Woodland Park senior Hayden Erickson shows off his tools of his trade – a shot put and discus – that he will be using at this weekend’s state track and field championships at Jefferson County Stadium in Lakewood. Erickson is ranked first in all of Class 4A in the shot put and fourth in the discus. Photo by Danny Summers “Hayden has pretty much dedicated himself to working year-round,” Nelson said. “He went to a (throws) camp in Washington over the summer and then when school started he was in the weight room lifting all the time, and then one day a week he and I were throwing outside at 6:30 in
the morning. We threw every week just to keep his technique down. It’s starting to pay off now.” Erickson has a younger brother, Hamilton, who is an equally imposing figure and just a freshman. He is also a thrower, already surpassing 37 feet.

SALOME’S STARS FOR RELEASE WEEK OF MAY 11, 2015
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A seemingly stalled romantic situation could benefit from your reassurance that you want this relationship to work. And if you do, use a tad more of that irresistible Aries charm. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Going to new places and meeting new people appeals to both the Taurean’s romantic and practical sides. After all, you never can tell where those new contacts can take you. Right? GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) That career-change opportunity that didn’t work out when you first considered it could come up again. But this time, remember that you have more to offer and should act accordingly.

GALLERY OF GAMES
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) There could be some tensions in relationships -- domestic or workaday. But a calm approach that doesn’t raise the anger levels and a frank discussion soon will resolve the problem. LEO (July 23 to August 22) It’s a good idea to begin preparing for that career change you’ve been thinking about for a while. Start to sharpen your skills and expand your background to be ready when it calls. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Bless that Virgo skepticism that has kept you from falling into traps others seem to rush into. But you might want to give a new possibility the benefit of the doubt, at least on a trial basis. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Travel and career are strong in your aspect. Perhaps your job will take you to someplace exotic. Or you might be setting up meetings with potential clients or employers. Whatever it is, good luck. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Someone might use deception to try to push you into making a decision you’re not fully comfortable with. But those keen Scorpio senses should keep you alert to any such attempt. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Romance dominates this week when Cupid spears the Archer, for a change. Positive things also are happening in the workplace. Expect important news to arrive by the week’s end. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Anyone trying to bully the Sea Goat -- whether it involves a personal or a professional matter -- will learn a painful lesson. Others also will benefit from the Goat’s strong example. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Congratulations. With things going the way they are, you should be able to spare some time and take a break from your hectic schedule for some well-earned fun and games. PISCES (February 19 to March 21) Your sharp Piscean intuition should be able to uncover the true agendas of those who might be trying to catch the Fish in one of their schemes. BORN THIS WEEK: Your flair for innovative art and design keeps you at least a step ahead of most everyone else. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
