Commissioners lean toward prohibition By Pat Hill
Carrie Weeden, administrative assistant in the sheriff’s finance department, receive high praise from her boss, Sheriff Mike Ensminger, along with the five-year service employee award. Looking on is Commissioner Marc Dettenrieder. Photo by Pat Hill Because the state is mandated to adopt regulations and establish an excise tax by July1, commissioners Marc Dettenrieder, Paul and Norm Steen are caught between the proverbial rock and a hard place. “There is the opportunity to rescind the ordinance,” Fetrow said. Several members of the audience argued against the prohibition. “Amendment 64 states that the first $40 million of tax revenue will go to improve our schools,” said Woodland Park attorney Michael Slivka. “The Department of Revenue is moving rapidly to set up the required infrastruc-
ture.” Slivka then threw a verbal dart. “We should not allow ignorance and fear to continue to be exploited by those with a political or financial stake in continued prohibition,” he said. Charles Houghton, an attorney in Colorado Springs, urged the commissioners to ease the transition for owners of medicalmarijuana establishments who want to sell recreational marijuana. “I hope you will recognize that these people have spent Prhibition continues on Page 5
Ideas abound for farmers market Nonprofit of the year and probably the most consistently successful event to hit Woodland Park, Farmers’ Market is evolving to include a feasibility study by consultant Aaron Zaretsky. “Public markets tend to be places where all kinds of different people come together on common ground to rub shoulders, feel safe and secure in an exciting environment,” said Zaretsky, speaking to a group of residents including the market’s founders Earlynn Cowman, Judy Crummett and Lois Sill. “Woodland Park is a terrific farmers’ market; people really love it.” While the study is in progress, Zaretsky made suggestions for “tweaking” the market: ● Add indoor space to counteract the mountain weather patterns. “The goal, or the mission of the market, should be to provide a place where people shop, week in and week out to

It was only the first reading of an ordinance that prohibits anything to do with recreational marijuana in Teller County but the commissioners appear to be leaning toward approving the prohibition in the future. “We’re in a position where the federal government has a law that says `this substance is controlled, aka, illegal,’” said commission chair Dave Paul at the meeting March 14. “The Controlled Substances Act needs to be repealed or amended on a states’ rights’ basis.” Jan Fetrow, senior planner with Community Development Services Department and her staff recommended denial of the ordinance. This, despite the document’s recognition that President Barack Obama recently stated that marijuana issues would not be a federal priority. “Nonetheless, as a complex and novel issue, this topic will remain at the forefront,” states the ordinance, in part. The complexity stems from Colorado voters’ approval of legalizing recreational marijuana, which is in direct contrast to federal-government laws. In Teller County, 51.5 percent approved the measure in Nov. 2012. The county’s proposed ordinance deals with recreational marijuana and leaves in place regulations regarding medical marijuana in Colorado. “We have four medicalmarijuana establishments in the county and they won’t be affected at all,” Fetrow said.

Summit Elementary School Principal Eric Owen moving on at the end of the school year and Woodland Park RE-2 School District hopes name a new principal by April 26. At the March 13 RE-2 board meeting, Superintendent Jed Bowman and Assistant Superintendent Linda Murray talked about their recent meeting with Summit staff and parents to see what they want in a new principal. “They really just want Eric to stay,” Bowman said. “We’re all sad to see him go.” Next fall, Owen will be the new principal at Mountainside Elementary School in Fountain-Fort Carson School District 8. Bowman also reported on two school finance bills. A new school finance bill, Senate Bill 13213, has been presented at the General Assembly by Sens. Michael Johnston and Rollie Heath and Rep. Millie Hamner. “This bill is a complete replacement of the (School Finance) Act of 1994,” Bowman said. “I’m not clear on all of its provisions but I believe that if it passes districts, such as ours, whose mill levies are less than 25 mills will have to ask voters for an increase or lose funding. …Our district would probably lose $750 per child.” The forecast under the state’s current school finance bill also isn’t as good as he hoped it would be. “We’ve been hearing generally positive news all year and now the state is saying something else,” Bowman said. “We thought we would be receiving an additional $220 per pupil but now the estimate is only $120 per pupil.” Because of the district’s declining enrollment, even with the full $220 per pupil increase, budget cuts were in the offing. “We’ve gone from $500,000 in cuts to $800,000 in cuts,” Bowman said. “I’m really tired of this…I’m frustrated…I’m a little bummed out.” School Psychologist Adric Arndt reported on proposed changes to the district’s preschool program. Each elementary school in the district has three half-day preschool sessions four days a week. He is proposing that one of the half-day sessions be changed into a full-day session, five days a week. This change is needed because several local childcare facilities have closed, he said, adding that the state only allows the district a set number of preschool slots. If the new school finance act is approved as submitted, schools will be allowed to enroll all of the 3-, 4-, and 5-year-old preschool pupils who apply but they would still only be funded as half-day pupils. “We’re hoping a full-day preschool program will help us to retain more students for kindergarten,” Arndt said. The next regular board meeting is scheduled for April 10.

GMF moves ahead on hall By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews.com In a joint meeting March 12, the Green Mountain Falls planning commission and the board of trustees moved ahead on a proposal to purchase the Elk-Crossing site for the new town hall. Destroyed in an arson fire in February 2012, the hall is irreplaceable as the heart of the town, with its historic significance, yet officials are upbeat about the new plans. According to mayor pro tem Jane Newberry, who was recently appointed public information officer for the hall, the architect, Ron Seevers, of Keystone Associates, is designing the building to accommodate the needs of the town clerk as well as the marshal. “We received some public input about accessibility and aesthetics, although in the next meeting we’ll discuss the `looks’ a bit more,” Newberry writes in an email. Elk Crossing is the land between Joyland Church and the condominiums on the adjacent hill. The next joint meeting and public workshop is March 26 with the public hearing scheduled for April 9. In addition to being appointed PIO for the project, Newberry is also the manger of grants.

Good/bad news for GMF post office C ‘C By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews.com
In a time when the U.S. Postal Service is bleeding money, the tiny facility in Green Mountain Falls has escaped the ax. “The people at the headquarters in Washington D.C. did an about-face about a year and a half ago,” said John Munoz, manager of post-office operations. Speaking to about 15 residents in Green Mountain Falls March 12, Munoz assured the group that the post office would remain open but with hours reduced from eight to six. “Going down to six hours says a lot about the people who work here,” he said. “They’ve been able to generate revenue, which is why the hours were only diminished by two.” The reduced hours, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., with a half-hour for lunch at noon, will begin the week of April 21. The specific hours are the result of a survey of Green Mountain Falls’ postal customers. While just 35 percent of 569 customers responded to the survey, 93 percent of respondents voted for the “realignment” of hours. Three people requested home delivery. “The return rate wasn’t very good,” Munoz said. “That’s where the community had a voice to talk about what was going to happen to their post office.” While it’s generally known that the post office is in financial trouble, Munoz emphasized the reasons behind the downhill slope. “The economy took a hit and businesses stopped mailing,” he said. “For instance, you can get catalogues on the Internet now.” Not only did the economy tank but the busiest day of the year for the post office is

Citizens react to state Legislature OKs civil unions ‘Civil Unions’ bill Some lament, others applaud By Norma Engelberg
nengelberg@ourcoloradonews.com
A civil union bill is on its way to Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper’s desk. On March 12, the state house of representatives passed the bill that will allow gay and lesbian couples to enter into civil unions by a vote of 3926, including two Republican representatives who crossed party lines to vote and joined house Democrats who gave their unanimous approval. The bill cleared the state senate in February by a vote of 20 Democrats and one Republican to 14 Republicans. Once Hickenlooper signs it, same-sex couples will be able to seek civil union licenses on or after May 1. While civil unions are not equal to marriage, the bill will afford people in same-sex unions rights similar to those of marriage, including enhanced inheritance and parental rights, the ability to make medical decisions for their partners and collect survivors’ benefits after a partner dies. Colorado is one of 30 states with Constitutional amendments declaring marriage as the union of one man and one woman. With the passage of this bill, the state becomes the 18th state to offer comprehensive benefits and obligations to same-sex couples. There have been a number of reactions to the bill’s passage across the state and locally. For example, Roman Catholic Bishop Michael J. Sheridan of the Colorado Springs Diocese and Catholic Charities of Central Colorado states at www.diocs.org, where his letter is available in its entirety, that Senate Bill 13-011 “not only threatens the traditional understanding of marriage as a life-long union of one man and one woman for the procreation and rearing of children, it also lacks any meaningful conscience protections for Coloradans.” He added that passage creates “the real probability that a bill advanced in the name of equality and tolerance will be used as a tool for antireligious discrimination against others, including faith-based adoption agencies” and said similar bills have been used to discriminate against religious organizations in other states. Sheridan also said that without conscience proothtections this bill says in essence “that many Colorabeen dans with sincerely held religious beliefs are unfit to be in the marketplace and Public Square even they though their faith requires them to be active there.” Park On the other side of the issue, the Human Rights reat. Campaign, the nation’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexuoffice al and transgender civil rights organization, comrges. mended the Colorado General Assembly for passing the Colorado Civil Union Act. d the “The Colorado legislature has taken a definitive ng of step forward in the march toward equality,” said h the campaign President Chad Griffin. “The passage of d an civil unions in the Centennial State is further proof ched e re-
that full equality for committed and loving gay and lesbian couples is in sight. From now on LGBT couples in Colorado will no longer be legal strangers in the eyes of their state, but rather recognized and supported by the law.” When the passage of the Civil Unions Act was announced, Colorado Springs Pride invited supporters to celebrate with the organization because “Civil Unions has passed in Colorado and history has been made!”
As of March 13, Colorado county clerk’s offices were already receiving information from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, which handles birth, death, marriage and divorce records, on the creation and dissolution of civil unions. The bill summary states: “The bill creates the `Colorado Civil Union Act’ to authorize any 2 unmarried adults, regardless of gender, to enter into a civil union. Parties wanting to enter into a civil union apply to a county clerk and recorder for a civil union license. Certain persons may certify a civil union. After the civil union is certified, the officiant files the civil union certificate with the county clerk and recorder. A priest, minister, rabbi, or other official of a religious institution or denomination or an Indian nation or tribe is not required to certify a civil union in violation of his or her right to free exercise of religion.” It also states: “The same processes that are provided in law for dissolution, legal separation, and declaration of invalidity of a marriage apply to dissolution, legal separation, and declaration of invalidity of a civil union. … The Act shall not be construed to create a marriage between the parties to a civil union or alter the public policy of this state that recognizes only the union of one man and one woman as a marriage.” The complete bill can be read online at: http://www.leg.state.co.us/clics/clics2013a/csl.nsf/fsbillcont3/35CE5FDC5F04 0FF487257A8C0050715D?Open&file=011_ rev.pdf.
Hickenlooper expected to sign landmark bill By Vic Vela
vvela@ourcoloradonews.com For gay couples in Colorado, the third time turned out to be the charm. Legislation that legalizes civil unions has now cleared the state General Assembly, following passage through the House of Representatives on March 12. The passage follows two unsuccessful attempts at getting the bill through prior legislative sessions. The measure now goes to Gov. John Hickenlooper, who is expected to sign it. “We are fulfilling a promise we made at the end of the last session, and we made to the people of Colorado, that we would get this done,” said House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, D-Denver. “And now, it’s headed to the governor’s desk.” Senate Bill 11, which would allow gay couples to enter into commitments that are similar to marriage, passed the House on a 39-26 vote. Two Republicans voted for the bill: Reps. Carole Murray of Castle Rock and Cheri Gerou of Evergreen. “I’m a Republican and a conservative and I like this bill,” Gerou said from the House floor. “I know this is the right thing to do.” Murray and Gerou joined Sen. Ellen Roberts of Durango as the only Republican lawmakers to vote for civil unions this legislative session. But the majority of Republicans had concerns with the bill. Chief among them was their belief that the legislation does not go far enough in allowing exemptions for entities that have religious objections to civil unions.
“I think it’s unfortunate that we didn’t provide that clarity in that law,” said Rep. Chris Holbert, RParker. Several Republicans, including Rep. Lori Saine of Dacono, argued that civil unions are akin to gay marriage — something that Coloradans voted to ban in 2006. That same year, voters rejected a bill that would have put in place something similar to civil unions. “We won’t get to debate this again here, we will debate this in a court of law,” Saine cautioned. But Democrats believe that times have changed and that the public — and history — is firmly on their side on this issue. But they also said that more work needs to be done to achieve equality. “Changing the conversation in politics isn’t just about taking a vote,” said Sen. Jessie Ulibarri, D-Commerce City. “It’s about talking with your neighbors and sitting down one-on-one and having people see your family and recognize that you deserve protection under the law.” With civil unions soon to be a reality, Democrats are hopeful that a forthcoming U.S. Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage bans will pave the way for the Colorado to join other states that recognize same-sex marriages. Sen. Pat Steadman — who lost his longtime partner to cancer last year — said that getting civil unions through the Legislature marks a “joyous occasion,” but that “we’re not there yet.” “I don’t want anyone to think that we’ve reached the peak and climbed the summit of that mountain that challenges us in terms of full inclusion of equal participation in today’s society,” he said. “Civil unions are lesser and not equal and that really is not good enough.”

CIVIL UNIONS REACTIONS MIXED With the passage of the Civil Unions Act on March 12 by the state house of representatives, reactions from clergy were mostly but not unanimously negative. Brian Troxell, pastor of the Woodland Park Church of the Nazarene said legislation like what has been passed by the state legislature is a problem. “I’m very uncomfortable with government stepping in on issues like this,” he said. “…Civil Unions are such a polarizing subject but God has set parameters. The church is challenged on how to love unconditionally while at the same time keeping to our core values.” He also said the while he understands how a same-sex couple who say they love each other would believe they should have similar rights to man and woman couples. “But I can also see why it terrifies the churches to see where the country is headed,” Troxell said. “Times have changed what is considered normal now would have had nothing normal about it 100 years ago. How does the church intersect a world that is always changing when God never changes?”
While some churches and religious organizations are outspokenly against civil unions others offer a different message. For example, the All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church in Colorado Springs states at its website: “We are proud to be a welcoming congregation. Whatever your ethnicity, class, gender or sexual orientation, we welcome you!” Many of the mainstream Christian denominations are divided on homosexuality, some calling it absolutely a sin, others saying it absolutely isn’t a sin and many falling somewhere in between. A few religious organizations have even split over the issues. When it comes to non-Christian religions, according to the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life, Buddhists and Hindus have no official stance on either homosexuality or same-sex marriages. Islamic law condemns homosexuality and in many Islamic countries the practice is not only considered a sin, it’s also considered a crime. Judaism is divided with the Reform, Reconstructionist and Conservative Jewish movements allowing same-sex marriage while it’s condemned by Orthodox Jews.

Littleton, Maketa host town hall Speaks on General Assembly’s gun legislation By Norma Engelberg
nengelberg@ourcoloradonews.com If numerous standing ovations and prolonged applause were any indication, El Paso County Commissioner Peggy Littleton and Sheriff Terry Maketa’s town hall meeting was a real crowd pleaser. The two spoke on the state General Assembly’s pending gun laws to a packed house on March 14 in the Commissioners Hearing Room in Centennial Hall. Littleton introduced the subject by reading the county commissioners’ “Resolution in Defense of 2nd Amendment Rights,” which was approved on Jan. 22. “I know I’m preaching to the choir here,” she said. “From your response I have to say this might just be the safest room in all of El Paso County.” Maketa then went through the pending legislation bill-by-bill, giving his interpretation on what each might mean to citizens and law enforcement agencies if passed. “Some of them are so poorly written that I don’t know what they’re trying to say,” he said, adding later in the meeting that the laws are written in ways that will be almost impossible to enforce. In order by house and senate numbers, the pending bills include: HB 13-1224: Prohibiting possession and use of large-capacity ammunition magazines and would limit magazines to 15 or fewer rounds. Colorado manufacturers would have to date stamp and add a serial number to all large-capacity magazines manufactured after July 1. Maketa said that if the idea behind this law is to save lives, it’s a big lie. “Who will comply with this? Law abiding citizens!” he said, to which an audience member shouted, “No we won’t!” This law doesn’t apply to local, state or federal law enforcement agencies, to people serving in the military or to people who bought the ammunition before July 1, 2013. Maketa said if he sees people with large-capacity magazines, he will just assume they bought them before July. HB 13-1228: Sets the payment for background checks to actual costs. The fee will be paid by the person purchasing the weapon. HB 13-1229: Requires universal background checks before weapons can be transferred either by sale through a licensed dealer or by sale or gift between private parties. Maketa said he considers this law to be unconstitutional but at very least it violates private property rights and criminalizes law-abiding citizens. “Criminals won’t worry about background checks,” he said. SB 13-195: Requires, for the purpose of obtaining a concealed weapon permit, that gun-safety training would have to take place in a physical location rather than online. Maketa gave this bill only a cursory mention. SB 13-197: Requires people served with protection orders to prevent domestic violence to turn over any weapons they own. “They used a bizarre kind of logic with this one,” Maketa said. “The protection order keeps them from going home but this
law says they have to go home to get their weapons so they can turn them over to a designated third party.” However, the bill’s most recent amended version (as of March 14) states that it “shall require the person to relinquish any firearm or ammunition in the person’s immediate possession or control or subject to the person’s immediate possession or control (italics added).” The following related bills are still in committee and weren’t mentioned at the town hall meeting: HB 13-1085: Amends the list of felonies that make it possible for previous offenders to possess firearms. Currently no convicted felons are allowed to possess firearms but this new bill would prohibit the possession of firearms by a previous offender to those who have been convicted to certain violent crimes. HB 13-1169: Allows persons to satisfy federal and state background check requirements by presenting a valid concealed-carry permit. If any of these pending gun bills pass, and some of them already have or are close to passage, Gov. John Hickenlooper has vowed to sign them. Maketa said the governor has also vowed to keep an open mind. This statement was greeted with jeers and shouts of “Marxist!” and other epithets. “You need to know that the `Dems’ aren’t listening,” said Commissioner Amy Lathen, who also attended. “You need to contact the governor and ask him to take the ink out of his pen.” Commissioner Dennis Hisey sat with Lathen in front of the crowd and later made a statement on the proceedings while Teller County Sheriff Mike Ensminger sat in the audience giving Maketa his support. After presenting the bills, the rest of the meeting was a question and answer session with Littleton reading questions submitted by audience members and Maketa answering. At one point he made it clear that if these laws are passed by the legislature and signed by the governor he would be obligated to enforce them until they are declared unconstitutional or are repealed. “I will never compromise the Board of County Commissioners,” he said. “If the court orders me to seize weapons and I don’t and someone dies I would be putting the board in a position of liability.” That said, however, he added that he will do everything in his power to protect each citizen’s Second Amendment right to possess and bear arms. “I need to speak up for what’s right,” Maketa said. “We need to hold our legislators accountable for what they do. … Remember that on election day.” He added that once the laws are signed, they go to the state attorney general’s office for interpretation. “At that time I hope we can get some court action going,” he said. Littleton said citizens will be able to view the entire meeting on YouTube through a link at the El Paso County website, www.elpasoco.com. Also available at the site on the sheriff’s webpage are several articles by Maketa describing his attempt to testify against these bills at the state capital and other related subjects.

but any elected official who approves illegal operations will be held personally responsible,” Paul said. “When you get to something where you have the full force of the federal government threatening you and holding you personally responsible for the acts of other people, just because you’ve approved an ordinance, that’s a very strong statement.” Yet the county has set aside 30 days for the public to submit comments for or against the ordinance. “When the ordinance comes back for the second reading, we’ll track all of the requests for changes, make changes and the board will decide at that point what the final format will look like,” said county administrator Sheryl Decker. Paul emphasized the level of uncertainty attached to the proposed ordinance. “I don’t know what we’re going to do,” he said. “That’s why this is on paper. We not chiseling it in a piece of granite but, in order to protect ourselves, the state has to make its regulations first.”

a lot of money in your county, put people to work,” Houghton said, who represents several medical-marijuana centers in Colorado. “The businesses have proven to be benign and don’t drain county resources.” In fact, one of the recommendations of the state’s task force, Houghton said, is that only people with existing medical-marijuana licenses would be eligible to apply for a recreational-use license, at least for the first year. “I think what we’re asking for is relatively easy to grant because it’s probably going to be forced on you, anyway,” he added. Joel Stanley, who owns medical-marijuana facilities in Colorado Springs and is licensed to grow plants in Teller County, highlighted the tax benefits of recreational marijuana. “Those who choose not to grow their own will drive to another jurisdiction, pay their tax dollars there and bring the same amount of marijuana back here,” Stanley said. If the commissioners approve the prohibition of recreational marijuana, they have turned away the opportunity for revenue, said Bob Armstrong. The issue is uncertain, commission chair Paul said. “There’s a real conundrum and there’s nothing I’ve heard this morning that I would disagree with,” he said. “The real problem is the federal government.” In arguing the position of the commissioners, Paul cited a letter from the Colorado representative of the Department of Justice. “The letter states specifically that not only are the feds still enforcing the law,

Murder at red Cloud: Cascade murder never solved “A blue-white gibbous moon hung above Ute Pass on Jan. 18, 1949, and Walter (Joe) Parsons, an 18-year-old waif who did painting and other chores for his board and room at the picturesque Cascade inn, had plenty of light to see by 9:30 p.m. when he left his employers house to walk 50 paces to his cabin,” wrote Bernard Kelly, in the Denver Post’s Rocky Mountain Empire Magazine, Sunday, May 1, 1949. “Ivan Waugh, proprietor of the inn, and his wife, Florence, heard the crunch of his feet on gravel, gradually fading. Although they didn’t know it then, that sound in the crisp winter air was the last they’d hear from the youth they had befriended. The Waughs had been good to the boy. He usually ate his meals with them. that night they had whole corn for supper. It was good, and Parsons had eaten well. Next morning Waugh went to wake the boy when he didn’t appear for work. He found the cabin door open and the heater going. But Parsons wasn’t there. and his bed looked as if it hadn’t been slept in. Not alarmed, because Parsons often left the resort for a day or so without leaving word, they wondered where he had gone. “He had gone into eternity. Two days later, on Jan. 20, a Colorado Springs couple, driving toward the city from Garden of the Gods, saw a chalk white on a hill slope before them.. They stopped the car. The woman screamed...,” by Kelly’s account. This is how Carl F. Mathews described it in a paper he wrote for the Denver Westerners in March, 1962, about unsolved murders in the Pikes Peak region. Mathews was superintendent of the Bureau of Identification in the Colorado Springs Police Department for more than 32 years. “Mr. and Mrs. C.W. Boyer were driving on Garden of Gods Road when Mrs. Boyer looked up the embankment toward the top of the mesa. and saw what appeared to
be a body of a person or animal; they then reported the find to the Police Department, but before officers could reach the spot, members of the road crew working nearby, and curious motorists had ruined whatever clues might have been picked up,” wrote Mathews. Chief Bruce stated in the Gazette, Feb. 4, 1949, “In the first place, after Parsons body was found, a great host of people descended on the spot, obliterating tire marks with the tires of their own vehicles and mussed up whatever marks were adjacent to the body.” Coroner Henry Maly and police and sheriff’s officers came to the scene. There was a body, nude except for a pair of white socks. It was Parsons and he had been stranggled to death. His clothes were neatly tied in a bundle and thrown out beside him. They showed no violent usage. The strangulation weapon was not found. It was believed to be a rope. “His clothing, part of which had been just laundered and never worn since, had been stuffed into the trousers he had been wearing and thrown next to the body, according to Mathews in his paper. “He had been wearing blue Levis, a white undershirt, tan, army-type shirt and red plaid jacket. (Strangely, his shorts were missing,)” by Mathews account. From Henry Maly’s Coroner preliminary
examination of the body, he said there were two possible causes of death: a blow on the head and strangulation. “Around the youth’s neck was a narrow crease and the impression of a rope. he had been struck on the left side of the head with a heavy instrument. an autopsy could not be preformed until late in the afternoon, the body being frozen,” reported Mathews.The temperature Tuesday ranged from 13 to 19 degrees above zero; on Wednesday night, 6 to 8 degrees above. “Dr. Maly said he had been dead somewhere between 24 and 48 hours., and thought he had been dead when tossed or carried to the spot. Deep scratches were found on his back, evidently caused by his 15-foot slide down the embankment. Maly also said the scratches had not bled, indicating that he had been dead when dumped. The strange discovery touched off one of the greatest manhunts in El Paso County in recent years. Police Chief I.B. (Dad) Bruce and Sheriff Norman Short both joined the search and were assisted by Special Agent Michael J Grant of the Santa Fe Railway, a noted and successful sleuth. Dozens of persons were questioned, according to Kelly’s story in Empire. Mathews says a Green Mountain Falls man, Ralph Elder, was questioned as a suspect by police officers and sheriff’s deputies; police said a bloodstained lariat was found in his car. He was released after two days, having satisfied officers as to his whereabouts previous to the tragedy. The Waughs actually ran the Red Cloud Inn, in Cascade, according to Mathews account. After a more extensive autopsy performed at Blunt’s mortuary on Friday, Jan. 22, provided the following findings: 1. Parsons died from strangulation. 2. He was strangled by a rope, marks of which were found on his neck. 3. He was unconscious when strangled 4. The blow on the left of
his head was caused by a heavy instrument but not sufficient to cause death. 5. The blow on the head did not cause a fracture. 6. The brain was not damaged and there was no hemorrhage. It was also shown that his last meal was composed mostly of corn. From that rate of digestion of the corn, it was determined that Parsons must have died before midnight. “The blood on Ralph Elder’s lariat was proved by laboratory tests to be that of an animal and he was clear from complicity. Elder admitted he had served eight years in San Quentin on two morals charges,” reported Mathews. Feb. 6, a waitress from the West Side of Colorado Springs, claimed she had talked to the killer and “Almost drove her employers crazy by her running around and talking it over with everyone. So they called the police and she was brought in; when questioned she stated that a man calling himself ‘Bill Osgood’ had asked her to drink with him, and that, over their beers, he had said he was the murderer. After talking with her, Chief Bruce stated he was confident she was lying but until something definite came up, she would remain in jail. Two day later, she admitted to Chief Bruce and special Agent Mike Gran, that her story was a lie, claiming she was tired of working and she wanted publicity,” wrote Mathews. Rewards for information about the case from various businesses and groups totaled more than $600, but failed to turn up much. According to Mathew’s paper, “Rumors that Parsons had been involved in sex affairs caused the arrest of a number of perverts of one kind or another and charges of sex offenses were lodged against some of them. No real clues to the killer of Parsons have ever been found.”
New research, new hope for mentally ill It’s unfortunate that a lot of people still think mental disorders are self-inflicted. With a brother who developed schizophrenia in his late teens, I’ve heard it all: “He must have used (fill in the blank: LSD, heroin, marijuana, peyote, etc.) when he was a teenager,” “He lacks discipline; he just needs to buckle down,” and “He’s faking.” The unspoken thought for every hurtful statement is “Since he brought this on himself, he isn’t really worth helping.” If they don’t blame the patient, they blame his or her mother or, occasionally, both parents. Can you imagine the guilt involved when a supposedly well-educated psychiatrist tells you your son is sick and it’s entirely your fault? Slowly the true physical causes for schizophrenia and other mental disorders are coming out. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, “Most research-

ers do not believe that substance abuse causes schizophrenia.” There’re always a few hold outs. One connection with drugs is clear, while schizophrenics are more likely to abuse drugs and/or alcohol than the general population, their drug of choice, by far, is nicotine. Studies show that people with any diagnosed mental illness are 70 percent more likely to smoke than the

general population. Dr. Thomas R. Frieden, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in an article about smoking and mental illness at www. psychcentral.com: “There are some effects of nicotine which can mask some of the negative effects of mental illness.” A report on mental illness and drug abuse by the National Institute on Drug Abuse goes farther. It says: “Mental illnesses can lead to drug abuse. Individuals with overt, mild, or even subclinical (not yet noticeable) mental disorders may abuse drugs as a form of self-medication.” Because certain mental illnesses tend to run in families, scientists have long thought there must be a genetic component. The NIMH says on schizophrenia: “The illness occurs in 1 percent of the general population, but it occurs in 10 percent of people who have a first-degree relative with the disorder, such as a parent, brother, or sister. People who have second-degree relatives (aunts, uncles, grandparents, or
cousins) with the disease also develop schizophrenia more often than the general population. The risk is highest for an identical twin. ... He or she has a 40 to 65 percent chance of developing the disorder.” New research published in The Lancet on Feb. 28 by the Cross-Disorder Group of the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium compared the complete genetic profiles of 33,000 psychiatric patients to 28,000 people without mental illness and found a common genetic root for the five most common mental illnesses: autism, attention deficit disorder, bipolar disease, schizophrenia and major depression. The various studies show that these disorders are most likely inherited but also that there are other factors involved. After all, even a schizophrenic’s identical twin doesn’t develop the disorder 100 percent of the time. Identifying the genes involved and those other factors might lead to a cure or at least preventive measures. Hope is a good thing.

Aerobics better for weight loss For those of you out there who are still struggling with the extra pounds put on during the 2012 Holiday Feeding Frenzy and those of you who have been on a lifelong journey to shed some weight, there’s some definitive news from researchers at Duke University Medical Center. The study, published in the December issue of the Journal of Applied Psychology and funded by the National Institute of Health, contends that aerobic exercise beats weight training for weight and fat loss. Previous studies have suggested that strength training may be a better approach to losing weight because it increases the body’s resting metabolic rate, the rate at which calories are burned when the body is at rest. However, with the effect of resistance training on fat mass a little murky, the Duke Research team was seeking definitive evidence on what was the best way for people to lose both weight and body fat. “Given that approximately two-thirds
of adults in the United States are overweight due to excess body fat, we want to offer clear, evidence-based exercise recommendations that will truly help people lose weight and body fat,” said Leslie H. Willis, a Duke exercise physiologist and the study’s lead author. To that end, the researchers enrolled 234 overweight and obese diabetes-free adults aged 10 to 70 in the study. Participants were randomly assigned to one of three exercise training groups. Prettyman continues on Page 7

Electric car service arrives in the Gold Camp No, not recently! This was in 1897 when the coaches for the Cripple Creek District Electric line arrived. They came through in 10 days from Dayton, Ohio. The initial track was complete and in a few days the cars were running, but only as a test. A week later, just after New Year’s Day 1898, the cars entered active service. At first one car made the trips between Cripple Creek and Victor, starting before sunup and running every 90 minutes until after midnight. The last car left Cripple Creek at 12:20 a.m. and started on the return trip from Victor at 1 o’clock. For the first two months the trip was made in 40 minutes, each way, as the company was using the power which was intended only for the construction car. The company utilized this power until the new water power plant at Skagway Reservoir was put to use.
The stations at first were only Cripple Creek, Anchoria-Leland, Midway, Dyer and Victor. Fare was 5 cents between stations, making 20 cents for one way and 40 cents for the trip from Cripple Creek to Victor and return. Only one car was being run, and this car was filled, every trip to its utmost capacity to accommodate the business. Two other cars were added as soon as switches were in place at Anchoria-Leland, Midway,
and Dyer to allow cars to pass, being run in opposite directions on the line. The power plant to supply power adequate to carry the long and heavy cars over the hills was finished and a speed of 20 miles an hour was then doubled. As soon as the transmission plant was finished the road was in a position to handle passengers and freight, to the great convenience of everybody, mine owners, residents and district shippers, alike. Their speed was certainly impressive on the hills of the district, which are remarkably steep. The road bed was one of the finest in the world, being laid, for the most part on solid granite. Mines later undercut the line and there were problems. Within a few years additional line all over the district and the line into Colorado Springs were added.

Prettyman: Balance aerobics with resistance Prettyman continued from Page 6
The resistance training group did weight lifting exercises only three days a week for an average of 180 minutes a week. The aerobic training group walked/moved 12 miles per week averaging a weekly time investment of 133 minutes. And the aerobic and resistance training control group took on both the strength training and aerobic assignments. At the end of the eight-month trial (of which only 119 participants finished), results were measured in body composition, weight and waist circumference. The aerobic-only group showed the greatest reduction in both weight
loss and fat mass, while the resistance-only group actually gained weight, which researchers attributed to an increase in muscle mass. The combo-group, while recording the largest decrease in waist size, did not lose more weight or body fat that the aerobics-only group despite spending twice as much time exercising. “Balancing time commitments against health benefits, our study suggests that aerobic exercise is the best option for reducing fat mass and body mass,” said Cris A. Slentz, the study’s co-author. “It’s not that resistance training isn’t good for you; it’s just not very good at burning fat.” However, before you trade in your weight-lifting gloves for a pair of walking shoes, you might want to

Inside the furnishings were of the best mahogany, a little short of luxurious. The company employed a large force of men. In addition to the office in Cripple Creek, there were many shop men, and crews all over the district.

CC/V seniors absorb professional help By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews.com In the often-lonely world of a teenager, particularly those who are unaware of possibilities, the senior seminar at Cripple Creek/Victor High School offers hope and a set of skills. “I really didn’t know anything about resumes or how to present myself in an interview,” said Darrien Carrillo, 18, speaking after a mock job interview with Kathryn Sneckner, executive director of Choices. “I am very quiet and shy but I don’t come off like that in an interview” Carrillo scored high in the mock interview with Sneckner, who was among the professional mentors in the three-week program. “You seemed very confident; didn’t come off as shy at all,” said Sneckner, who pretended to be the retail manager at Gordman’s in Colorado Springs. “Making eye contact and even sitting up straight, all of that carries over to me when I think about what impression you’ll make on my customers and what will it mean, financially, to my bottom line.” In fact, as a result of the seminar Carrillo scored a real job in the fall at Gordman’s whose district manager, Sonia Sullivan, was also a mentor in the program and was duly impressed with Carrillo’s new skills.
NEWS IN A HURRY THE sponsors Midland Days
The Midland Days Symposium for 2013 is from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. March 30 at John Wesley Ranch in Divide. The event features conversations among Mel McFarland, Art Crawford and Tom VanWormer about Colorado Midland Railway and Midland Terminal Railroad. Dave Martinek will moderate the discussions and do a presentation as well. As always, the symposium includes a special guest while featuring historical photos of the railroad days in Teller County. The symposium is $45 for the day which includes a continental breakfast at 9 a.m. and lunch at noon. Only advanced reservations will be accepted and can be made by calling Martinek at 687-1516 or emailing him at MidlandDays@yahoo.com.
Loyd Mowery, who teaches English and science at the high school, initiated the seminar in conjunction with Dana Taylor at Second Chance Ranch, a nonprofit organization based in Guffey. Taylor founded the organization to help homeless teens in southern Teller County. “Twenty-five percent of the graduating seniors at CC\V High School in 2011were homeless,” Taylor said. From helping the homeless, Taylor expanded the program to include all of the seniors, offering help with resumes, dressing appropriately for a job interview and developing healthy relationships. “We make sure kids have everything they need to succeed,” Taylor said. “These kids have huge hearts; they inspire me to keep going with the program.” In his mock interview with Tony Perry, president of Park State Bank & Trust, Wyatt McClure and Richard Larsen discussed their goals. While Larsen wants to obtain a college degree and be an attorney, McClure plans to earn a degree in petroleum and aerospace engineering at the Colorado School of Mines. “You will grow, adapt and find your place in the world. Don’t get uptight if things change,” Perry said. Not all students consider college the right approach to a career. “I am going to a trade school,” said Alex Hutson, who cur-
rently works at Family Dollar in Cripple Creek. “Before this seminar, I didn’t know anything about financial aid for school.” Hoping to avoid financial aid, Kayla Smith plans to work a few years to earn her college tuition while Rachel Kramp has been accepted to Colorado State University where she’ll study equine science. Commenting on the program, Perry said, “It’s been amazing to communicate with such high-quality kids.”
Also participating as mentors from Teller County were: Mike Perini, Perini and Associates, who helped the students craft their resumes; Lori Gray, Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Co.; Lance Roasa, Animal Medical Center; Galene Nedjoika, Wildwood Casino; Jessica Farley, Family Dollar and Mari Smith, CC Ace Hardware. The interviews March 13 concluded the three-week seminar.

State draining Antero Reservoir Special to The Courier View Colorado Parks and Wildlife
Denver Water, in coordination with Colorado Parks and Wildlife, will close Antero Reservoir on May 1 to drain the reservoir to save water supply during the ongoing drought. Antero Reservoir has the highest evaporation rate of any of Denver Water’s reservoirs, so draining and storing the water in Cheesman and Eleven Mile reservoirs will reduce system evaporation losses by about 4,000 acre-feet. “We’re exploring as many ways as possible to be efficient with our water supply,” said Dave Bennett, water resource manager for Denver Water. “Antero is a drought reservoir designed to provide water to our customers during a severe drought. Moving water from Antero to Cheesman will allow us to make the water available for our customers and reduce evaporation losses to our system.” Denver Water is working closely with Colorado Parks and Wildlife to minimize the loss of fish during the drain and to allow the public to use the reservoir before it closes. Beginning March 20, the bag and posses-
sion limit on trout at Antero will be increased from two to eight fish with no minimum size restriction. All other fishing regulations apply. Immediately after the ice has melted off the reservoir, CPW staff will trap and relocate spawning trout. Once the fish have moved off the shoreline and inlet areas, the draining of the reservoir will increase significantly. CPW staff will install a series of screens below the reservoir to capture fish as they leave the reservoir. In March, the standard recreation regulations apply. South: Open 24 hours a day and camping is permitted. North: Open from a half-hour before sunrise to a half-hour after sunset. Beginning in April, Antero Reservoir will be open for recreational use from a half-hour before sunrise to a half-hour after sunset. No camping will be permitted. After the ice has melted, only hand-launched vessels will be allowed. No trailered boats will be permitted. Recreation will cease May 1. “The fish relocation effort and stream flow management plan will be closely coordinated with Denver Water,” said Jeff Spohn, aquatic
biologist with Colorado Parks and Wildlife. “We have come up with a plan to successfully remove as many trout out of Antero as possible to stock in other reservoirs in Park County. On a positive note, the water from Antero will be delivered to Cheesman at a flow rate that will benefit the wild rainbow trout fishery below Eleven Mile Reservoir.” Drought conditions will determine when the reservoir can be refilled. The reservoir was also taken out of service to assist with water management during the drought that began in 2002. “We have a blueprint on how to successfully rebuild the fishery at Antero,” Spohn said. “We will be putting a lot of our efforts back into the reservoir once it begins to fill again, and we hope to see similar trophy trout fishing that we saw last time the reservoir refilled.” Wildlife concerns and questions regarding fishing at Antero can be directed to Colorado Parks and Wildlife at 303-291-7227. For questions regarding Antero operations, contact Denver Water at 303-628-6117. For more information about Division of Wildlife go to: http://wildlife.state.co.us.

Pet legislation stirs division Feel-good animal bill hits snag By Vic Vela
vvela@ourcoloradonews.com It’s hard enough getting Democrats and Republicans to come together on much of anything without throwing cats and dogs into the mix. Our four-legged friends are getting caught in the crossfire over a bill that seeks to designate cats and dogs that have been adopted from Colorado animal shelters and rescues as the state pets. Sen. Andy Kerr, D-Lakewood, who is the sponsor of Senate Bill 201, said he wanted to recognize the “the excellent work that
our rescue groups and our shelter groups do in finding homes for dogs and cats that truly need them.” Jennifer Strickland, director of community relations and development at Golden’s Foothills Animal Shelter, said the bill “makes a lot of sense.” “I think any opportunity to be able to bring awareness to how wonderful shelter pets can be is a great thing,” she said. The bill will cost taxpayers just $650, in order to update state artwork and brochures, according to the Colorado Legislative Council. Kerr said he did not want to single out specific breeds in his bill, knowing how much controversy that could have led to. “This is a bill to bring all the factions to-
gether,” Kerr said. “Cat people and dog people can come together and support the bill. But don’t expect certain animal groups to roll over and play dead as the bill makes its way through the Legislature. “We don’t understand why it’s a bill,” said Dan Anglin of Anglin Public Affairs. “It doesn’t make any sense.” Anglin represents the Colorado Federation of Dog Clubs, which puts on dog shows in the state, as well as the Colorado Pet Association, which represents animal breeders, retailers and groomers. He claims the bill would “create a perception” that it’s better to adopt animals from shelters, as opposed to seeking other avenues. “This bill puts into state statute that the state pet is how you acquire it,” Anglin said.
Rep. Kathleen Conti, R-Littleton, originally was a House co-sponsor of the bill, but she said she plans on removing her name from the legislation, having looked it over more closely. Conti, a former pet groomer, said she “is very supportive of our local shelters,” but she, like Anglin, is uncomfortable in recognizing certain dog adoption groups over others. “How about we recognize what the dog ends up doing to help society and helps people, like service dogs?” Conti said. “I’d far rather see something like that than simply focusing on where you get the pet from.” Conti said she probably will vote no on the bill, but that she’s “not going to actively fight against it.”
Bill seeks privacy for child victims

Judges would gain leeway in clearing courtrooms
Colorado Community Media welcomes event listings and other submissions. Please note our submissions emails.
By Vic Vela
vvela@ourcoloradonews.com A bill that would give judges greater discretion when deciding whether to clear a courtroom during testimony involving cases of child sex abuse is making its way through the legislature. Under Senate Bill 198, courts would have the option of closing the courtroom to the public and the press “when it is in the best interest of the child” who is involved in the case. That includes when sexually explicit photographs of children are being shown, or when a child is testifying about sexual
abuse. The bill also would allow courts the option to close the courtroom whenever forensic interviewers provide testimony that is “directly related” to the child. The bill’s sponsor, Sen. Cheri Jahn, D-Wheat Ridge, said during a March 13 hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee that “we absolutely need to make this clear in our statutes.” “It is just putting the child in such a horrible place (whenever they have to testify about abuse in front of others),” Jahn said. Tammy Pitzen, the program manager of the Colorado Springs-based Safe Passage, which assists children who are going through abuse cases, said that having children testify about
sexual assault in front of TV cameras and strangers ends up “re-victimizing” them. “We ask child sex assault victims to do what none of us would feel comfortable doing,” Pitzen said. Jahn said that she “worked out First Amendment concerns” before presenting the bill. A committee-approved amendment to the legislation that was presented by Colorado Press Association changed the language to say that the court could close the proceedings “if it determines that the best interest of a child in a closed proceeding overrides the public interest in an open criminal proceeding.” The bill passed the committee unanimously and is expected to breeze through the legislature.

Antler collectors warned not to stress wildlife Special to The Tribune and Courier Colorado Parks and Wildlife
As antler collectors travel Colorado’s backcountry this spring, Colorado Parks and Wildlife reminds them to avoid stressing wildlife still struggling to survive the cold weather and the lack of forage. Many collectors use freshly shed antlers to create artwork, furniture and other goods. Most collectors are responsible but there have been reports of people on motorized vehicles chasing elk or deer herds, hoping to collect a fresh pair of antlers dropped by a startled animal. Harassing wildlife is unethical and illegal and can result in significant fines for violators. “Loud noise, fast moving vehicles and other disruptive human activity is a serious concern because it can stress animals trying to conserve energy, leading to higher mortality, especially in fawns and calves,” said wildlife manager Lyle Sidener. In some cases, spooked animals seek shelter on private land, increasing the likelihood of game damage conflicts, or they may be injured while running across highways and railroad tracks. Some areas of Colorado are
closed to all human activity during winter and into early spring to protect wildlife, including migrating big game animals. Parks and wildlife officers can fine violators entering and collecting antlers in closed areas. Collectors should check with public land-management agencies and law enforcement organizations on the use of motorized off-road vehicles. They should also honor all “No Trespassing” signs. Soon after temperatures warm up in late spring, male deer, elk and moose begin growing a new pair of antlers. During the fall mating season, the bulls and bucks will display their fully-grown racks in an effort to attract females, or use them to joust with other males as they compete for a mate. After mating season ends and snow and low temperatures move in, the animals focus almost exclusively on finding food and surviving. By the end of winter, when forage becomes especially scarce and the animals rely almost entirely on their fat stores, bulls and bucks will shed their heavy antlers to conserve energy while they wait for spring. To avoid stressing animals, keep your distance and consider searching for shed antlers on foot or horseback instead of a motor-
Collectors go out in the spring to collect freshly shed antlers for art and furniture projects. Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials ask that collectors be careful not to stress wildlife and to keep their collecting legal and ethical. Courtesy photo ized vehicle. Wildlife managers advise pet owners to keep their dogs under control at all times in the presence of wildlife because even
the most domesticated pets can quickly revert to their primitive instincts and severely injure deer, elk or other animals. The public is reminded that in Colorado,
any law enforcement officer is authorized to take immediate action to stop dogs from attacking wildlife. To learn more, visit www.cpw. state.co.us.
Cadet faces Volunteers needed for board of adjustment Article 32 hearing Special to the Tribune
Special to The Tribune An Article 32 hearing took place March 14 at the United States Air Force Academy for a cadet who had sexual misconduct charges brought against him on Jan. 31. Cadet 1st Class Benjamin York is charged with aggravated sexual assault. An Article 32 hearing is equivalent to a civilian grand jury proceeding. An investigating officer presides over an Article 32 hearing and submits his or her report of the pro-
ceedings with recommendations to the Cadet Wing Commandant as Special Court-Martial Convening Authority. The Commandant will then decide whether to dismiss the case, recommend it go to a General Court-Martial or dispose of the case through some other disciplinary administrative action. It must be emphasized that charges are merely accusations and the accused is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

Cancer came out of the blue Woman had no family history of breast cancer By Norma Engelberg
nengelberg@ourcoloradonews. com Karen Mitchell’s breast cancer was a surprise. She was 38 years old, in good health and had recently weaned her son after breast feeding him for three years. “There was a swelling on my rib cage,” she said. “Because of the breast feeding I thought it was probably mastitis (a breast infection) like horses get sometimes so I did what you shouldn’t do; I ignored it.” Later, during a regular checkup, her doctor said it probably was mastitis but he sent her for a mammogram “just in case.” “That was on Dec. 22, 2009,” she said. “I had the mammogram and they called me back in for a biopsy the next day. It’s never good when they call you back. I had to wait for results through the holidays.” Just as she feared, the biopsy showed that the swelling was cancer. “It was a stage one/two cancer meaning that it had spread but was still confined to the breast,” Mitchell said. “I had a mastectomy on Feb. 15, 2010. It’s funny how you remember these dates.”
Karen Mitchell was diagnosed with breast cancer in late 2009. She is the event chair for this year’s Teller County Relay for Life. Photo by Norma Engelberg Then she had another decision. “I was at the border between take chemotherapy or don’t,” she said. “I decided to go ahead because I didn’t want to have any regrets later; to feel that I didn’t do everything I could.” Chemo was no picnic, she said. “I lost my hair and was sick all the time,” she said. “They don’t tell you how hard chemo is on your teeth and your body. There’s really nothing much good to say about chemo except that it might save my life.” The chemo ended in August 2010. “Funny how I don’t remember
the exact date,” she said, adding, “I hate cancer. I believe women should be serious about getting mammograms and other tests. The doctors said I had probably had cancer for at least 10 years.” Mitchell had no family history of cancer and wasn’t scheduled for her first mammogram for two more years when she was diagnosed. “If you have a family member who has been diagnosed with cancer, if possible get tested when you’re 10 years younger than when they were diagnosed,” she said. “Insurance covers mammograms and other tests but if you don’t have insurance there are other alternatives. I paid for my sister’s mammogram.” Having cancer has helped her to focus on what’s really important. “I don’t stay awake at night worrying about money and other things any more,” she said. “Surviving for my family and spending time with my kids is what’s really important.” In fact she took her 7-year-old son to Los Angeles on March 12 to attend a meeting. “I am president-elect of the National Association of Women in Construction,” she said. Mitchell was impressed by how many resources are offered by the American Cancer Society. “They kept asking me, `Do you need
this?’ and `What about that?’ They were great,” she said. That’s part of why she volunteers with Teller County Relay for Life. As the relay entertainment director, she hasn’t had time to start a relay team. She relays with the Colorado Springs Christian School team but she is trying to encourage the staff at Summit Elementary School to start a team. “I taught at Summit before I started working with my husband in his concrete business,” she said. “I know some of the teachers there have had cancer. In fact, I don’t believe there is anyone who doesn’t know someone with cancer.” This year is her second year heading the relay entertainment committee. “I really believe in the Relay and the American Cancer Society,” Mitchell said. “The society’s goal is that this will be the last century for cancer. I hope that if my daughter gets breast cancer, the doctors will be able to just hand her a pill.” Some of the moneys raised go to research but the rest stays in Teller County. “This is going to be a fun relay,” she said. “I encourage everyone create a team or join someone else’s team, buy a luminaria, make a donation or just come and relay with us. This is a great way for the community to come together.” The society’s theme this year
is “Hope Big, Dream Big, Relay Big.” The local relay has added “in Woodland Park.” “Our relay is unique in being indoors out of the weather,” Mitchell said. “We’re rearranging the track at Colorado Springs Christian School (Woodland Park) so that people can walk and still see the talent shows and contests we have planned. We’re also going to be showing Oscar-winning movies and creating a coffee area and a place where children can sleep.” Last year, Mitchell didn’t attend the Survivor’s Dinner before the relay but she’ll make it a point this year. “We’re each other’s hope,” she said, adding: “We went through so much adversity last year with the fires and the loss of the three boys in that accident that the cancer society gave us special award. Even with the evacuations we raised a lot more money than we expected.” Speaking of money, this year’s fundraising goal is $50,000. “We’re dreaming big,” Mitchell said. For more information about the Teller County Relay for Life, which starts at 7 p.m. June 14, visit www.tellerrelay.org. Anyone interested in becoming an event sponsor or forming a Relay team, should contact Stacy Schubloom, event chair, at relaywp@yahoo. com or call 719-650-0505.

Sophovent more midfielders Jenny Sells and eam,Katie Stunkard scored the Woodoom,land Park goals. Sells also added hoo. an assist. “We lost with a minute to go on a corner kick,” Pappadakis said. “We hadn’t been outside to practice at that point so we couldn’t work on corners. It was a tough was to lose, but the girls responded positively. The next day (March 12) the girls responded with a 3-3

tie against Mesa Ridge. Sells had two more goals, while sophomore forward Morghan Sieracki added the Panthers’ other goal. Woodland Park scored all of its goals in the first period. The teams were held scoreless through two overtime periods. On March 14, the Panthers shutout Buena Vista as Sells scored two more goals and an assists. Freshman midfielder Caitlan Thorne had the other goal. Junior goalkeeper Grace Wyka has seven saves for the Panthers. “We’re working hard,” said Sells, who is almost halfway to her team-leading 13 goals last season. “If we keep it up we might have a chance to win league and go far.” Sells has taken on the role as one of the team leaders this season. She has responded well, according to Pappadakis. “She is, without question, the heart and soul of our team,” Pappadakis said. “She is the center piece. She’s doing her job and she’s making her team better.” The Panthers close out the non-league portion of their schedule this week with games against Discovery Canyon (March 19) and Rye on Thursday at home. “I’ve never seen ‘em and I’ve never heard of ‘em,” Pappadakis said of Rye. “We’re just going to come to play.” Pappadakis’ teams usually

Panthers show grit on the diamond Woodland Park baseball team goes 1-3 last week By Danny Summers
sports@ourcoloradonews.com COLORADO SPRINGS – Nobody associated with the Woodland Park High School baseball program is hitting the panic button after three consecutive losses. But it sure will be nice when the weather warms up a little bit and the team gets a chance to practice outside on its own field. “You know what kind of weather you’re going to get up here in the early part of the season,” said Panthers coach Cliff Richardson. “We just haven’t been outside on our field very much. It’s been a tough adjustment for our guys after being in the gym for so much
of the time. “It’s affecting our hitting, too. It’s a short cage in the gym. It’s just not the same.” The Panthers played four games last week. Things began on a positive note with a 3-2 walkoff victory over Falcon on March 12 at El Pomar Sports Complex in Colorado Springs. Woodland Park was the home team. The game had to be moved because Meadow Wood Park was unplayable due to a snowstorm. The score was tied 2-2 heading into the bottom of the seventh. Sam Ballard led off with a fourpitch walk. Carl Loy pinch ran for Ballard and moved tosecond on a Jake Neal sacrifice bunt. Jeremy Gwinn then lined a 2-2 pitch over the head of the Falcon second baseman, scoring Loy with the game-winner. “It was nice to see the kids come together and execute,”
Richardson said. “That was a good win.” On March 13, the Panthers lost a 5-4 decision at Sand Creek. The Scorpions scored four runs in the bottom of the sixth off Woodland Park right-hander Evan Lays to overcome a 4-1 deficit. “Evan was pretty much cruising along until the sixth,” Richardson said. “We were trying to get him to 75 pitches, but he wasn’t conditioned to get that far.” With one out and runners on second and third and Woodland Park leading 4-2, Lays intentionally walked a Scorpions batter to lead the bases and set up a double play. But Lays followed with another walk that forced in a run. Lays was replaced by junior shortstop Cody Hedges. Gwinn moved to short with Chase Fish taking over at second base. The next Sand Creek lined a ball over Gwinn’s head to score two runs
and put the Scorpions on top. “That was heartbreaking to let that one get away,” Richardson said. “That was not even close to being our best baseball game.” On March 15, Woodland Park took a two-plus hour bus ride to Longmont for a game with Skyline. That resulted in a 12-4 defeat. Neal, a left-hander, made his first start of the season, allowed eight hits and seven runs (four earned) in 2 2/3 innings. Junior Kayden Osborn followed Neal, allowing two hits and one unearned run in one inning. Junior Keegan Harmen finished the game on the mound, giving up five hits and four runs (two earned) in 2 1/3 innings. The Rangers’ sloppy defense (they committed three errors) also played a key role in helping Skyline runners scamper around the bases.
The Rangers collected just five hits as a team against Skyline. Lays paced the way with a single, triple and RBI in three at bats. Watters had two RBIs on a pair of sacrifice flies. He walked his other two plate appearances. Osborn was 1 for 4 with an RBI double. The Panthers’ busy week concluded on Saturday with a 6-3 loss at Canon City. Just two of the runs were earned. “We still played a pretty good game,” Richardson said. “We just gave it away. We have to work hard on getting our defense shored up. “We made silly mistakes on basic plays and it ends up costing us. But that will correct itself.” Woodland Park has four more games this week, beginning March 19 at St. Mary’s. The Panthers open this weekend’s St. Mary’s Tournament against Brush at the Grace Center in Colorado Springs.

Cripple Creek-Victor baseball starts new season Coach confident team will show improvement By Danny Summers
tellsummers@aol.com Scott Davies returns for his second season as coach of the Cripple Creek-Victor baseball team. After a winless 2012 campaign, he is confident the Pioneers will show improvement. “This year is a new team with new kids,” Davies said. “I want a new attitude. It will be more fun for the kids if we’re in the games. Last year was tough. We weren’t as competitive as we hoped to be.” The Pioneers went 0-14, 0-8 in the Class 2A West Central League. They scored just 29 runs (two a game) while allowing 248 (about 14 per contest). “In order to build this program we have to have dedicated kids,” Davies said. “Some of our guys don’t pick up a ball until the start of the season. That needs to change.” Davies will rely on several key returners. Among them are junior third baseman Toby Wuellner and junior pitcher/infielder Scott Cain. “I’m hoping that Toby Wuellner will be one of the people I rely on,” Davies said.” Senior second baseman Kayla Smith has shown great athleticism and should be an important cog in the mix. “She’s got a great arm,” Davies said. “She’s been really impressive in practice.” Other key contributors should be sopho-
more first baseman Cody Rice, junior right fielder Dalton Hutson and sophomore catcher/second baseman Zion Dickerson. Another sophomore, Evan Arnold, has shown promise and could be a key factor. Davies will carry 11 to 12 players. The Pioneers will not field a junior varsity squad. They open their season Friday at Cotopaxi with game time scheduled for 11 a.m. The Pioneers’ home opener is March 29 against South Park.
meters. She broke the school record in the 800 last year with a time of two minutes, 49 seconds. Her older sister, Sydni, is a freshman at Colorado State University-Pueblo, where she specializes in the 400. The Pioneers’ boys team is led by senior Wyatt McClure, whose best events are the
high jump and triple jump. The rest of the squad consists of senior Darren Caddy (800, 400 and long jump), junior Robert Adams (distances) and sophomore David Burks (400 and discus). The Pioneers open their season Saturday at the Banana Belt Classic at CSU-Pueblo.
Pioneers track and field
Jill McCracken takes over as the Pioneers head track and field coach, replacing Jason Willems. McCracken previously worked as an assistant for seven years under Willems. “I’m excited,’ McCracken said. “I know the kids and they know me. It should be a fun season.” McCracken’s team should get to know each other quite well. It consists of just four boys and two girls. “I’d rather have six kids who really want to be there, than 15 who are not committed and don’t want to be there,” McCracken said. “These kids will get a lot of personal attention this year. Junior Katie Tapia and sophomore Savannah Riley make up the girls team. Tapia finished fourth at state (2A) in the high jump last year with a leap of 17 feet, 3.25 inches. She was fifth as a freshman in 2011. “She would love to jump at 18 feet this year,” McCracken said of Tapia. “She can do it if she really wants to.” Riley shines in the triple jump and 800

Students rock at Olympiad By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews.com As the nation lags behind other countries in elementary-school scores in science and math, Steve Veatch vows to fix the problem, one student at a time. “If we don’t catch up on science and math, we’re going to become a Third World country,” said Veatch, earth scientist and volunteer teacher of science to students in Teller and El Paso counties. With Hunter and Caleb Bickel, 12 and 15, respectively, Veatch thinks he’s struck gold, as the brothers were on the winning teams at the Science Olympiad in Colorado Springs this month. While Hunter’s team scored a third-place win in the rocks-andminerals category, Caleb and his partner, Michelle Franke, took second place. “I designed the test so that you had to know a little bit about everything,” Veatch said. Among the questions was a query about the most common rock found in the Oceanic Ridge.

Along with the academic angle,

Hunter, too, is in. “It’s so cool to see all the new stuff happening,” he said. “Science is important 1. CALL TO ORDER because it helps us define every2. ROLL CALL thing.” 3. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE 4.
