A tumultuous reign for Mayor Worthey By Pat Hill

phill@ourcoloradonews.com Pent-up anger that erupted in rage, trustees in Green Mountain Falls let loose April 2 on Mayor Lorrie Worthey. At issue is the missing paperwork for what turned out to be a $14,046 loan from El Paso County to cover emergency expenses during the Waldo Canyon Fire. “Anything with regard to money you need to write down,” said the town attorney Lisa Tormoen Hickey. Trustee Howard Price started the tirade over the lack of communication from the mayor, about the loan. “We were told it was a gift; now we find out it’s not a gift and we have to pay it back,” he said. “I can get no history on this.” Why was there no intergovernmental agreement with El Paso County over the loan, Price said. “I did not vote on a loan so I’d like to know how a gift became an indenture to the town,” he said, raising his voice a notch. “What are you doing behind closed doors and where is the transparency in this? I want to know.” Reticent for the most part, Worthey did say the issue of the funds had been discussed among the trustees, particularly during executive sessions. Trustee Ralph LoCascio didn’t buy it. “You’re not giving us answers, Lorrie, which makes us very uncomfortable and not trustworthy. How did we end up this way?” he said. “If you don’t give us answers, I can only conclude that you are doing this in a malicious manner. Explain to us how it is not.” While Worthey didn’t react, trustee Mac Pitrone was revved up, raising his voice with each sentence. “If there had been some communication this would all be done; but it never happened,” he said. “We are now finding ourselves with $14,000 of our contingency fund at risk. Because if we write POSTAL ADDRESS

Some trees in Green Mountain Fall’s iconic park lean toward the shore. Several trustees from the usually tranquil town, critical of Mayor Lorrie Worthey’s actions related to a loan, did a bit of leaning of their own at a recent meeting.

The Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Co. is continuing construction of its new Valley Leach Field in Squaw Gulch between Cripple Creek and Victor. That means people are starting to see some changes and might have questions. Jane Mannon, the mine’s community affairs manager, is all set to answer questions, listen to comments and dispel or confirm rumors. She recently received this question about the disappearance of the old blacksmith building and trees in Squaw Gulch Yikes! What has happened to the blacksmith shop in Squaw Gulch? And all the trees? She answers: The blacksmith shop was prominently located north of the horseshoe bend in Highway 67, in Squaw Gulch, at the end of the Cripple Creek & Victor Narrow Gauge Railroad tracks. It was built to support mining activities at the Anaconda Mine, and appears to have been active form the mid1890s through 1904. The blacksmith shop survived the 1904 fire that burned the town of Anaconda. It is likely that the surface plant at the Anaconda did not operate after 1904, when ownership transferred to the Mary McKinney (Mine). This area has been approved for construction of a valley leach field for extension of the mining life and relocation of Colo. 67. In 2010, Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Co. purchased a portion of the railroad’s right-of-way, an area that included the blacksmith shop, for the leach field construction. With the hard work of local contractors Klaus Hoehne and Conley Construction, CC&V successfully moved the historic structure to the Maryland Claim, north of the Ma Beard reclamation site. The building is visible from C0lo. 67 and the narrow gauge railroad tracks. Trees in Squaw Gulch have also been removed in preparation for the leach field construction. The trees have been stockpiled and as soon as access to the stockpile is open, our contractor will begin moving the trees to designated cutting locations in Victor and Cripple Creek. The trees are delivered as the contractor has available time, and offered to the public on a first come, first served basis. It is not possible for the mine to give advance notice of deliveries, nor to save wood for individuals. She adds, “To have your question, comment, or rumor answered contact Jane Mannon 689-4044 or JMannon@AngloGoldAshantiNA.com.”

this grant and it’s refused and the county wants its money back, that’s where it’s going to come from.” With an eye on setting precedents, Pitrone continued. “If we let this slide, there’s no telling where it will go,” Pitrone said. The grant refers to a pending application to FEMA to cover the loan from the county. According to mayor pro tem Jane Newberry, if the application is successful, FEMA would grant 75 percent of the total while the state would pick up the remainder. “The state

has funding for situations like ours,” she writes in an email. With the funding issue still brewing, the trustees moved on to the subject of a grievance with the board filed recently by public works director Rob McArthur. “We are not going talk about details; this is not on the agenda,” Hickey said. In fact, Hickey was at the meeting to go over procedures, including the role of the mayor as well as the board. But with the grievance brewing that evening, and the trustees, LoCascio in particular, seeking a solution to the issue, the board adjourned in executive session after the meeting. According to Worthey, the session lasted Printed on recycled until nearly 11 p.m. “At the board’s request, I am considering newsprint. Please recycle this copy. drafting a comprehensive memo,” Worthey said the next day. Worthey declined to comment on the subject of the grievance or the memo but did emphasize the word “considering.” The next meeting of the board is April 16.

The blacksmith shop in Squaw Gulch is the only building remaining in Anaconda, one of the Cripple Creek Gold Mining District’s many small mining towns, after a fire destroyed the town in 1904. The building, seen here as it stood in January, has now been moved to a new location to preserve it from destruction as the Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Co. constructs a new leach field as part of its Mine Life Extension II project.

phill@ourcoloradonews.com In an article in the March 27 edition of The Courier, a customer and representative from the Water Quality Division of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, talks about the brown water delivered by the Florissant Water & Sanitation District. This week’s article includes comments from a board member. In an update, the water customer featured in that article, Denise Marie Anne, reports that she is still receiving a bill from the district, despite the fact that she has no water and no sewer service.

Besides damaging the trees with their nests, the beetles also carry a deadly blue fungus. The adult beetles create galleries under the bark for their eggs. The eggs hatch, the larvae overwinter, grow into adult beetles in spring and start the cycle over in July. In early spring, Jim McDermott, the city’s contract forester, searches for beetle infested trees. Because newly infested and dying trees still have green needles, he looks for other signs, such as small piles of sawdust at the bottom of the tree and pitch tubes in the bark that develop when the trees try to expel the smaller-than-a-grain-of-rice invaders with copious amounts of pitch. Sometimes the tree is successful so foresters who see pitch tubes will check under

dy is Five members of the wearCripple Creek-Victor Pioneers in Public Service and Philanthropy chose to award grants to seven nonprofit organizations that help southern Teller County. Cripple Creek-Victor High School students used to disburse grants as part of the El Pomar Youth in Community Service organization. However, when the El Pomar Foundation disbanded its EPYCS program, the new student organization was formed for a similar purpose. The Pioneers have two grant cycles each year. Grant funds come from annual gifts from the Gary and Wini Ledford Fund and from city’s Community Allocation Fund. Gary Ledford is a former city council member and owner of Carr Manor and the Imperial Hotel. The students, under the direction of sponsor Michael McDonald, reviewed applications and interviewed representatives from each of the requesting nonprofits. They made their recommendations to Cripple Creek City Council on April 3. Olivia Ruiz presented both Woodland Park Community Cupboard, which will receive $2,500 to replace two old refrigerators, and $2,500 to Cripple Creek-Victor Mountain Health Center, which will

Photo by Norma Engelberg use the funds to hire a licensed service to pick up and transport prescriptions from Woodland Park pharmacies. She said in 2012 the Cupboard served 3,648 people in southern Teller County and the health center treated 441 Cripple Creek children. Nikolai Louritt presented Teller County Search and Rescue, which will put its $2,500 grant toward the purchase of a new incident command trailer. Darien Carrillo presented The Resource Exchange, which asked for $2,500 but only received a recommendation of $1,200. The organization is based in Colorado Springs but the funds will be used to provide an infant and toddler playgroup and caregiver services for 15 families with disabled children in the Cripple Creek and Victor area. Halley Hute presented $800 to Court Appointed Special Advocate to train another advocate to Teller County children who are victims of abuse, neglect or domestic conflict. She said the group decided against

awarding CASA its full $1,500 request to train two advocates because the second advocate would likely work almost entirely with El Paso County children. The Aspen Mine Center-Community of Caring received a grant for $2,900 for its Summer Kids Enrichment Program, which helps low income families participate in Cripple Creek Parks and Recreation programs during summer break. Council approved the students’ recommendations unanimously and thanked them for their diligence and hard work. Council then also approved a $1,636 reimbursement to cover a short fall from the Gold Camp Victorian Society’s annual Victorian Ball. Society President Howard Melching pointed out the many ways the city benefits from the society’s presence in the area. Treasurer Carl Poch said he hopes that changes the society is implementing will make this the last time he will be requesting a shortfall reimbursement from council.

the bark for the tell-tale blue fungus stains and egg galleries. According to Woodland Park Code Enforcement Officer Rick Cirka, McDermott finds fewer beetle-killed trees every year, proof that the management plan is working and that property owners can manage the beetles on their own properties even when neighbors don’t. This year McDermott identified 10 infested trees whose owners were sent letters in March. They are required to remove the trees and treat them in specific ways to prevent the beetles from infesting other trees. Noncompliance earns them a warning letter. “If they don’t comply by June 15, the city will hire a tree service to remove the tree and the property owner will get the bill,” Cirka said. “People can look up city ordinance 8.08.220 at the city website (www.city-

woodlandpark.org) to get more ideas on beetle management.” The first letter also lists 18 tree services that property owners can hire to help them remove and treat the trees. “We’re a small city but we have a lot of trees,” Cirka said. “We might miss a few. If you think you have a beetle infested tree, call me and I will come out and take a look.” Don Doty, owner of Timberline Spraying, outlined in a letter ways for property owners to prevent beetle infestations; annual spraying, for example, but also removing damaged and diseased trees and making sure the remaining trees are healthy and not overcrowded. He suggested calling the Colorado State Forest Service office in Woodland Park 719-687-2951 or 719-687-2921 or email CSFS_WoodlandPark@mail.colostate.edu for more information.

WP takes first steps toward small annexation Approves two multi-family water taps By Norma Engelberg

nengelberg@ourcoloradonews.com Woodland Park has started the process to annex four parcels of land divided between two plats in the Southwest Valley subdivision in the county on West Street (County Road 231). The annexations were requested by property owners Karl Hirschbeck and Donald and Beth McCarl. The properties are under contract to Jay Baker, owner of Teller County Waste. He is leasing the properties and using them for maintenance and vehicle storage. If the annexation, zoning and land-use requests are approved, he plans to purchase the properties and make several improvements that could include adding office space and a waste recycling center. Woodland Park City Council took the first step in the annexation process, approval of two resolutions finding that the annexation petition is in “substantial compliance” to the state annexation statutes. Approving these resolutions, which council did unanimously at its April 4 meeting, sets the first public hearings for May 16 at which time there will be a first reading of the Annexation Agreement and a first reading of

The city will now begin advertising for a new alternate member. Photo by Norma Engelberg the zoning ordinance as recommended by the planning commission. City Planning Director Sally Riley said the zoning would likely be Community

Commercial and that the outside vehicle portion of the operation would need to have a conditional use permit and that the recycling center would take a special use

permit. Council also approved a request by developer Eric Hemmingway for the reservation of two multifamily water taps for the construction of two duplexes in the Shining Mountain Planned Unit Development north of Woodland Park. Originally known as Sawgrass at Shining Mountain, the subdivisions was approved by a previous council for 13 duplexes and three single family patio homes for a total of 29 taps. Eight taps have already been used but because of the economic slowdown, the rest of the taps have reverted back to the city’s multifamily tap bank. City Councilmember John Schafer said that while he agrees that this particular development, where homes are priced at around $350,000, might not be the best place to start when it comes to affordable housing, he thinks that at some point the city is going to have to get serious about encouraging developers to build affordable homes. He said Teller County Habitat for Humanity sets local affordable home prices at $160,000-$185,000. “You make a valid point,” said Mayor Dave Turley. “But that is not part of the decision making process for this project. It’s always about who is willing to spend their money to build something.”

Relay rally Cripple Creek Fire Chief reports to council Focuses on to ‘auction’ history, envisions local celebrities department’s future By Norma Engelberg

By Norma Engelberg

nengelberg@ourcoloradonews.com Several local celebrities have volunteered to be auctioned for Purple, the ribbon color denoting cancer survival, at the Teller County Relay for Life kickoff rally on April 16 in the Colorado Springs Christian School Woodland Park gym. The celebrity auction is a new part of the Teller County Relay Committee’s fundraising efforts. The celebrity or local official who earns the highest auction price at the rally will dress completely in purple and walk around at the June 14 Woodland Park Farmers’ Market. The rally, which runs from 6-8:30 p.m., is being planned as a fun way to learn more about cancer and what to expect on Relay night. 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.

nengelberg@ourcoloradonews.com The Cripple Creek fire and police departments are Cripple Creek’s most expensive departments to run, each is currently budgeted at more than $1 million, making public safety a top priority. During a workshop before the April 3 Cripple Creek City Council meeting, Fire Chief Randall Baldwin presented an overview of his department since he arrived in 2008. Baldwin said the department had overtime and high turnover issues. In 2008 many people called it a “stepping stone fire department” or “a good place to start,” he said.

“Before taking the chief’s position I talked to a previous chief,” he said. “He told me this is not a place I’ll want to stay.” In 2009 two Baldwin full-time firefighters left, another left in 2010 and four left in 2011. “They all left at about the same time,” he said. “It takes almost a year to be hired by another department so it was just bad timing. …it was discouraging.” In 2011, his final research paper for a four-year executive fire officer course was on solving the turn-over problem. “I think I have a handle on it,” he said. “There were no unanticipated resignations in 2012 and, knock on wood, there won’t be this year.” Many of the department’s recent accomplishments are also factors in the solution: more

professional development and the creation of a rank structure, which allows firefighters to advance without leaving. “Before the new rank structure our people had nowhere to grow,” Baldwin said. In 2008 only two firefighters were certified to operate the engine and pumper trucks. “That didn’t mean other firefighters didn’t know how to operate them but now all of our full-time employees are certified to operate them,” Baldwin said. Also in 2008 there were no certified ladder truck operators, no certified fire officers and no certified fire instructors. Now all current ladder truck operators are certified and all captains and engineers are certified fire officers and fire instructors. Cutting overtime by 40 percent since 2008 has involved several factors, including Chief Baldwin, who is salaried, covering shifts; the creation of a re-

opinions / yours and ours

‘Black time’ for devil’s friends Ask the devil whose side she’s on. Evil, I guess, resides in all of our souls. That truth was illustrated in the summer of 1904, when all hell broke loose in the form of the Cripple Creek labor wars. “Most devilish deed ever committed by any human beings,” screamed the Cripple Creek Times on June 7, 1904. “The cause of the deaths and injuries was an infernal machine or a lot of dynamite which was exploded by some fiend under the platform of the F. & C.C. (Florissant and Cripple Creek Railroad) depot at Independence, while the men were waiting upon the platform for the train that was to carry them to their homes in Goldfield, Victor and Cripple Creek.” The terrorist attack ended the lives of 13 non-union miners in Independence, on Bull Hill between Victor and Altman, and another 14 men waiting at the platform were gravely injured. The same issue of the newspaper carried a story about two killed, and many injured, in a riot in Victor, as well as government ordered closing of the saloons in Cripple Creek, searches of

the Union Halls, and new sheriff and corner appointed for Teller County after forced resignations. Sheriff Henry Robinson was under intense pressure to resign, according to the Times. “When the Sheriff was first approached about resigning he refused, but after seeing a rope, which was thrown at his feet, and being informed that the great crowd of angry and determined men who thronged the street outside the building, were anxious to receive him and the rope, he changed his mind, and attached his name to the written resignation.” By the next morning’s paper, martial

law had been declared and by Thursday violence flashed here and there all over the district. The printing plant of the Victor Record, which less than a year previous, had been forced to close at the hand of Colorado Adjutant General Sherman Bell, was destroyed while the employees were held at gunpoint. The Record, considered a Western Federation of Miners (W.F.M.) mouthpiece, was still smarting from the previous closing in which Bell ordered45 armed militiamen to haul off editor George Kyner and four employees. This time Bell publicly denied any responsibility. “I had not heard of the damnable outrage done at the Record office. It certainly was not sanctioned by anyone in authority. It was un-American and perpetrators should be punished to the full extent of the law. I cannot express myself sufficiently strong in condemnation. I shall personally investigate this matter and see the guilty parties are punished,” Bell issued in a statement to the Times. The plant, worth $15,000 at the time,

suffered about $8,000 worth of damage, according to Kyner and reported in the Times. The telephone, typewriter, linotype machines, presses and forms were completely demolished. Eight men, armed with Winchesters and revolvers ordered the men working in the office to “line up and hold aloft their hands. The command was immediately complied with and then work of the destruction started,” said the report. An editorial on Friday’s Times noted that “If the policy of the Record was obnoxious, a way might have been found for the proper and sensible remedy without resort to an act of vandalism such as that employed.” This period, labeled “The Black Time” by Cripple Creek historian Marshall Sprague in his book “Money Mountain,” resulted in 225 W.F.M members being deported on one-way trains out of the district. “The dynamiting of the Independence depot was the ghastly event that made it possible for the mine owners to drive the W.F.M. out of the Cripple Creek and Colorado for good,” wrote Sprague.

What’s so supreme about you and me? We can be short or tall, light or dark. Our eyes can be brown, blue, green or many colors in between. Beneath everything that makes us appear different we are all very nearly the same; members of the same race, the human race. That’s why all these people who call themselves “supremacists,” no matter their self-proclaimed “race,” drive me crazy (that’s getting to be a short trip). Unless they’re justices in the nation’s highest court or members of a specific Motown singing trio, they have no reason to call themselves “supreme.” In fact, psychologists say people who think they are superior to others because of “fill in the blank” are suffering from the “Superiority Illusion.” If you want to feel superior, at least pick something based on your own deeds. Nobody gets to pick their parents. When asked about “race,” geneticist Spencer Wells, who heads the joint National Geographic Society-IBM non-

profit Genographic Project, said in a 2008 Harvard Magazine article: “Racism is not only socially divisive, but also scientifically incorrect. We are all descendants of people who lived in Africa recently. We are all Africans under the skin.” Wells added that the kinds of differences people notice, skin pigmentation, limb length, or other adaptations, are “basically surface features that have been selected for in the environment. When you peer beneath the surface at the underlying level of genetic varia-

Cripple Creek’s first mine Back in 1887 Cripple Creek was cattle country but without many cattle! An interesting tale about those days came from the 1899 district papers. A doctor in Colorado Springs was awakened one night in 1887 and summoned to help a man who had broken his leg. Back then this could happen! The lone man led the doctor on an interesting ride around midnight. The pair took the road up Cheyenne Canyon that led to Pikes Peak. The trail swung west at Lake Moraine into the rough country. It was daylight when the pair started down into the forest. The fellow pulled a revolver from his coat and told the doctor that he needed to be blindfolded for the rest of the trip. The doctor had a bandage that would do the job. The two traveled in silence until they headed down into a steep canyon. The man asked the doctor to get down off his horse. Once on the ground he removed the blindfold. He was at a stone cabin built into the hillside. He was taken inside a room where another man was lying in great pain. After a short time, the damaged leg taken care of and the doctor then asked, “Where am I?” “You are in the greatest gold mine the world has ever known,” said the first man. He then took the doctor through a door into a drift cut into the mountain. The walls looked like silver with chunks of gold. A closer examination of the area brought amazement! The man explained that the reason for the blindfold was to prevent him from knowing just where the mine was located.

tion, we are all much more similar than we appear to be. There are no clear, sharp delineations.” The fact that there is no biological basis for race or racism, for that matter, isn’t new. The Harvard Magazine article also cites Richard Lewontin, professor of biology and Agassiz professor of zoology emeritus at the University of California, Berkley, who more than 40 years ago said much the same thing after discovering “that of all human genetic variation (just 0.1 percent of all genetic material), 85 percent occurs within geographically distinct groups, while 15 percent or less occurs between them.” Scientists have continued to discover new information backing up their statements. They’re even coming around to the Bible’s one-genetic-mother, one-geneticfather, human-origins assertion but are people listening? Do they believe the science? Do they even believe the Bible?

He explained that they had been working in the area for several years, but due to the rough terrain the mine was still secret. They paid the doctor for his service with nearly pure nuggets. In turn he provided them with simple remedies. The doctor was again blindfolded and taken back to Lake Moraine. Later, the doctor retold his tale in the Denver papers. Another man came forward and claimed to have been part of the mining activity. The tale was supposed to have happened somewhere near the Cripple Creek District. The entire pocket of valuable mineral was supposed to have been removed and those involved had moved on. It was said that the Indians knew of the spot as early as Zebulon Pike’s trip in the area. The doctor in the 1899 story was still roaming around the district looking for the spot where he was taken! Mel McFarland, artist, author, retired teacher and railroader, is a Colorado Springs native who has a strong interest in the events of this area’s past.

For many the answer to these questions is “no!” Humans aren’t very good at basing decisions on facts, especially if those facts go against their deeply held views. In fact psychologists have discovered what they call the “backfire effect.” When shown facts contradicting their beliefs, many people hold on to those beliefs ever more tenaciously. And various studies also show that where people stand along the Liberal/ Conservative divide doesn’t make them any more or less amenable to fact-based persuasion. As one writer said, “We all have blinders in some situations.” Rather than trying to persuade people using facts, psychologists suggest starting with values. If the person giving them the facts is someone they believe shares their values, they are much more likely to believe them. It also helps to talk fast.

Living and dying to be ‘Paris Thin?’ “Paris Thin,” doesn’t that sound desirable ladies? If you could just achieve that, wouldn’t that make you feel better about yourself? Former longtime Vogue Australia Editor Kirstie Clements in a just released tell-all book called “The Vogue Factor” claims that, “When a model who was getting good work in Australia starved herself down two sizes in order to be cast in the overseas shows, the Vogue fashion office would say she’d become `Paris Thin.’” She also says that the models regularly resorted to eating tissues to help then feel full. Clements’ book exposes the dark side of the fashion industry that demands ultrathin female models to hang their clothes on. The models, who have been taking laxatives and diet pills to maintain a size zero figure, are then held up for the women of the world to admire and attempt to emulate. Reporter-turned-author Imogen Edwards-Jones in her 2006 book “Fashion Babylon” wrote, “You might be starving,

drunk and high with dried-up kidneys and the liver of a 55-year-old alcoholic but just as long as you can make it down the catwalk looking fabulous who cares?” All of a sudden, Paris Thin doesn’t sound so good. I’m not so concerned about fashion models. It’s a lifestyle they have chosen. What does concern me is the influence these unhealthy, anorexic and ill-advised images have on American women, teenagers and, yes, even little girls. The media manipulation of the desirable female body image is omnipresent with the average

woman viewing from 400-600 lookism-advertisements a day. It gets worse. One study found that 50 percent of Saturday morning toy commercials that were aimed at little girls emphasized physical attractiveness, while none of the commercials aimed at boys referred to appearance. Think this ubiquitous portrayal of the ideal female body might have some effect on American females and their body image? Here are data gleaned from the websites http://womeninads.weebly.com/statistics. html and http://www.dosomething.org. The average U.S. woman is 5-foot,4inches tall and weighs 140 pounds. The average fashion model is 5-foot, 11-inches and weighs 117 pounds. Exposure to the “ideal” body image has been found to lower women’s satisfaction with their own attractiveness, which is expressed in the statistic that 44 percent of women who are average or underweight think that they are overweight. In another

study, 47 percent of young girls, who admitted being influenced by magazine pictures, wanted to lose weight but only 29 percent were actually overweight. Approximately 91 percent of women are unhappy with their bodies and resort to dieting in an attempt to achieve their ideal body shape. Unfortunately, only 5 percent of women possess the genetic propensity for the body type idealized in the media. And finally the truly scary statistic for young American women is that 95 percent of women with eating disorders are between the ages of 12 and 25. Only 10 percent of them will seek professional help. Turn in next week for the “skinny” from a Brown University study on what can be done to boost body image.

Victor Lowell Thomas Museum Stacks of photos, some faded, some sepia, some cracked from time-children smiling, women in tall hats trying to show poise in the stiff, proper posture of the day, men looking debonair or rough and ready to go 1,000 feet down in a mine shaft as their daily toil-photos that could tell a treasure of stories but bear no names and, thus, their stories lost. The Victor Lowell Thomas Museum has a trove of historic photos; many are of unidentified folks who came here in search of riches in the gold fields. These photos tend to sit in boxes or files and do not get the attention of the well-known and easily documented faces. This does not make them any less important in our mission to interpret the past or link the past to our future. Every summer in person, and every offseason by email, we experience the search for lost family. Relatives inquire about grandparents, parents and others who either passed briefly through Victor during the years of the 1890s gold rush or settled here to stake a longer claim in the history of the gold camp. In an effort to connect the living with those of the past, the museum requested a grant from the Colorado Wyoming Association of Museums to help fund a program to identify the lost faces of the gold rush. With the funding, as well as volunteer time, we were able to begin our project by scanning, printing and posting online more than 100 photos. The images have been posted on our website pages at VictorColorado.com (see link under Victor History) and have been printed and placed in a binder in the museum. Those seeking lost relatives can email identities from the website or come into the museum and

Celebrities reveal leadership tactics By Pat Hill

phill@ourcoloradonews.com In a marketing victory for Woodland Park, the Chick-fil-A Leadercast features celebrity personalities in live satellite broadcasts from Atlanta, Ga. Jack Welch, former chairman of General Electric and Condoleeza Rice, along with Coach Mike Krzyzewski, are among the speakers giving tips about leadership. In its third year in the city, this year’s theme is about leading with simplicity. “We have a culture that’s constantly changing and becoming more complex,” said Kirk Greenstreet, pastor at the Woodland Park Community Church, which hosts the event May 10. “As leaders we need to learn to simplify in how we lead in order to accomplish the mission that each of our businesses has.”

The speakers perpetuate the theme of leading simply. Navy SEAL Rorke Denver, who starred in the movie “Act of Valor” will talk about fighting for the mission at all costs. David Allen, who wrote “Getting Things Done,” will focus on bringing order out of chaos. “It’s about being more productivity in what we do,” Greenstreet said. “There’s going to be something for everyone.” Other speakers include: • Condoleeza Rice, former Secretary of State • Mike Krzyzewski, Duke University basketball coach • Andy Stanley, best-selling leadership author • Dr. Henry Cloud, author and leadership consultant • Sanya Richards-Ross, 2012 Olympic gold medalist in track and field

• John Maxwell, leadership expert From last year’s event I learned about putting certain systems in place that I’ve never had before,” Greenstreet said. “Once the system is up and running well, it’s taken the work load off of me.” For Neil Levy, past-chairman of the Greater Woodland Park Chamber of Commerce, which sponsors the event, the annual simulcasts encourage developing strategies. “The timing works well for me because it’s the beginning of the season so, for me, the leadercast just kind of gets me pumped up,” said Levy, who owns the Swiss Chalet restaurant which caters the event. “When you’ve been in the business as long as I have you need something like this to revitalize and recharge you. I know I’ll have some new ideas but more than that, I’ll just be ready to go. That’s the big thing the lead-

ercast does for me.” For Greenstreet, the camaraderie is as vital as the leadercast. “The other thing I get out of this is the connection with other leaders in Woodland Park,” he said. “This is very much a business-oriented leadercast, one of the best one-day conferences I’ve ever been to where you get at least something out of the day that really benefits.” Registration for the Chick-fil-A Leadercast begins at 8 a.m. and the first satellite talk begins promptly at 9 a.m. The day includes snacks and lunch catered by the Swiss Chalet. The event concludes at 4:40 p.m. Tickets, $57 for one and $52 apiece for three or more people, are available at www. woodlandparkcomunitychurch.com or by calling the chamber at 687-9885. Scholarships are available for highschool students.

Junior Conservator program is distinctive By Pat Hill

phill@ourcoloradonews.com For a place with only 23,000 people, Teller County scores high for innovative people. At Teller-Park Conservation District, education specialist Mary Menz is launching the Junior Conservator program, the only one of its kind in the West. A series of classes for youngsters from kindergarten through third-grade, the program is designed to highlight the earth’s dynamics throughout the four seasons. The ﬁrst class on April 27 focuses on trees. “We’ll talk about the water cycle and erosion as well as what happens when trees are taken away from the river,” Menz said. To instill a sense of reverence for the earth, Menz includes lessons about the consequences of human activity that go against the natural order. “When trees are taken away from the river, the soil erodes,” she said. The erosion lesson is heightened by the use of the district’s Riparian Trailer, one of only three in the state, to demonstrate erosion as well as methods to control erosion. For the summer session June 22, the students learn about garden plants and the water cycle while the classes Oct. 5 deal

Mary Menz, education specialist, introduces the Junior Conservator program for children from kindergarten through third-grade. The program, which begins April 27, focuses on the earth’s valuable resources such as soil and trees. Photo by Pat Hill with the region’s animals and their habitat. The year’s session wraps Dec. 7 with a lesson on snow.

The program builds upon conventional wisdom among today’s school children. “It’s amazing how much children know about

recycling and the soil,” Menz said. “Really, kids are so much more advanced and savvy than when I was growing up.” With the ongoing drought, Menz considers the classes a vital piece of a child’s education. “With the lack of rain and snowpack this year, it’s important for kids to know that we need to protect our resources, our soil, our water,” Menz said. Many of the county’s children received an unplanned lesson last summer as a result of the Waldo Canyon Fire. “They’ve been exposed to tragedy with the loss of all the trees in Waldo Canyon,” Menz said. “I think the conservator program will give them something positive and fun.” As natural resources become more precious, the conservator program is timely. “The kids are our future; it’s important for them to understand how important agriculture is, how important conservation is,” said Pat Galvin, the district’s manager. “Hopefully, conservation will become a passion for them.” The classes are from 10 to 11:15 a.m. and are free. Each student will receive a Ponderosa pine seedling, a reusable TPCD bag and a Junior Conservator badge. To register, call Galvin at 686-9405.

Kekich died last summer along with two classmates while returning from a Boy Scout camp in Wyoming. “We go out there and pray,” said senior captain Max Levy. “We’re trying to connect with each other and trying to connect with Paul. “We thank God for the day and the privilege and opportunity that He has given us.” On April 5, the Panthers

honored Kekich in a pregame ceremony at Panthers Field at Meadow Wood Park. The emotional and inspirational event was followed by an 8-1 Woodland Park victory over Mitchell as the two clubs squared off in a Class 4A Metro League game. “Hopefully this lights a little bit of a fire in us, Levy said. Woodland Park players and coaches presented three signed baseballs to members of Kekich’s family; his father, Gary, mother, Alanna Purling, and younger brother, Jason – a member of the school’s C squad team. The baseballs were inscribed with the words “We love you, Paulie.” The ceremony also included the dedication of a sign in the shape of a sun near the right field scoreboard. Written on it was the number “6.” The sun represented Kekich’s engaging spirit and personality, as well as his favorite song: “Here Comes the Sun” by The Beatles. It was played over the loudspeaker before the game as

A sign in the form of the sun with the number 6 was placed next to the scoreboard at Panthers Field on April 5. It honors late teammate Paul Kekich.

Woodland Park players line up for the pregame ceremonies on April 5. They honored their late teammate, Paul Kekich. Photos by Danny Summers many in the stands on the field were overcome with emotion. “This means everything to me and my family and my other son,” said Gary Kekich, who wore Paul’s No. 6 Panthers jersey. “This is where he spent most of his time. He loved this field. He loved to play here.” Kekich’s No. 6 will never be worn again by a Woodland Park player. Woodland Park public address announcer Larry Ingram read a prepared speech put together by Woodland Park mayor Dave Turley, Woodland Park baseball coach Cliff Richardson, and Woodland Park assistant baseball coach Jeff Gwinn. The players also had a say. “Outside of being a talented player, Paul had a fun-loving attitude that was contagious,” Levy said. Kekich’s mother said the ceremony helped with the healing process. “We’re coming together as a community,” Alanna said. “We’re like a family here. These are kids we’ve known since they were little. This means so much.” Woodland Park senior catcher Evan Lays also praised Kekich. “He’ll never be forgotten,” Lays said. “Paul was always looking out for everyone. Now he’ll always be looking over the field. “He was a really great baseball player. He would have been a big help to us this year.” Also recognized at the ceremony were four other

Woodland Park classmates who met untimely deaths in the past year. The list included Alex Regan and Nick Naples (the two students who were in the car crash with Kekich, former baseball teammate Chris Driscoll (who passed away earlier this year in Missouri) and Kevin McDonald (who passed away in a car accident last fall while on his way to school). Woodland Park’s baseball caps this season also pay tribute to Kekich, as well as Regan and Naples. The initials of each student are embroidered on the back. “Paul has been an inspiration to us all season,” Richardson said. “This is very healing for us.” With heavy hearts, Woodland Park took to the field and enjoyed its best all-around game of the season. Starting pitcher Evan Lays threw a completegame five-hitter and struck out 10 in the process. Woodland Park’s offense wasted little time making a statement, scoring three times in the bottom of the first inning. Levy singled home Dakota Herman with the first run. Two batters later, a Logan Watters single plated Levy and Lays. Woodland Park scored in each of the first five innings and had nine hits in all. Levy and Cody Hedges had two hits apiece. The Panthers stole 12 bases as a team, led by Watters’ four. The Panthers began the week with its league opener at Coronado on

Temperatures were in the 30s as a light rain fell. “I don’t know what the deal was,” Lays said. “Maybe it was the weather, but both teams had to play in it. “I feel like our defense can be really good. We just haven’t showed it so far. We still have time to get things going.” Woodland Park senior right-hander Jeremy Gwinn turned in another gem, striking out 11 and allowing three hits in six innings. Gwinn’s ERA fell to 0.45 covering 31 innings. “We just had to make seven outs behind Jeremy

and we had a hard time doing that,” Woodland Park coach Cliff Richardson said of the team’s shaky defense against Coronado. “We thought we had this figured out. We got things figured out and then we went into spring break. We have to figure things out.” Levy had the only Panthers hit – a single to lead off the fourth inning. “We lost a game against a team we probably should have beaten,” Levy said. The Panthers’ have three games this week, starting April 9 at Wasson. They play non-league game at St. Mary’s today and then host Harrison on Friday.

Setting the vault bar high Panthers senior Elsa Huber hopes to compete in the pole vault at next month’s state meet By Danny Summers

sports@ourcoloradnews.com COLORADO SPRINGS – Elsa Huber is the youngest in a line of five sisters who have competed in high school track and field. She is hoping to leave her mark as the most successful of the bunch. “I sure hope so,” Huber said. “That’s my goal.” The Woodland Park senior plans to study pre-med in college at the University of Colorado. But before she leaves for Boulder in the fall, she is hoping to make a trip to next month’s Class 4A state meet at Lakewood’s Jefferson County Stadium. Huber is a dualevent star, excelling in the pole vault and sprints. “All my other sisters went to state,” Hu-

ber said. “It would be a nice way to finish my high school career.” Huber has extra motivation to succeed. He next oldest sister, Ana, owns the school record in the pole vault. She cleared 9 feet, 7 inches at the 2011 state meet to claim ninth place. Elsa’s best vault to date is 8-6 at last month’s Banana Belt Classic in Pueblo. “If anyone’s going to beat my record I want it to be my little sister,” said Ana, who attends the University of Colorado at Denver. “She can beat my record and definitely go to state. She just has to have the confidence.” Elsa began pole vaulting as a freshman with little success. She followed in the footsteps of Ana. Natalie, a 2006 Woodland Park grad and the middle sister of the bunch, did not pole vault. Elsa’s two oldest sisters ran track when the family lived in Wisconsin and also did not pole vault. “I was bad even last year,” Elsa said with a smile. “My best was like eight feet. It’s when the bar gets up there that I start to

psych myself out.” According to Woodland Park coach Ron Payton, Elsa has the talent to shatter the school record. “She’s going 9-8, 10 feet in practice,” he said. “She just has to do it at a meet. The ability is there.” Huber refined her technique over the fall and summer at the school’s indoor vaulting facility in the auxiliary gymnasium. She worked under the direction of Panthers vaulting coach Chris Erickson. “She’s a really competitive kid,” Erickson said. “She doesn’t like to lose. “We’re trying to take things step by step. Her speed and power are going to help her out a lot.” Huber’s sprinting ability is a big reason why she is a successful vaulter. She runs the 100 meters in the mid 12 seconds. The bar in pole vault is set back about 20 yards from the pit. “There’s a lot going on with pole vault,” said the 5-foot-2 Huber. “If you get too far

under you get ripped of your pole. I used to miss the box a lot, but once you’ve been doing it for a while it becomes second nature.” Huber is part of the school’s 4x100 and sprint medley relay teams along with Lexi Price, Gabby Ruddick, Kelsey Moore and Tehah Cilfuenius. More than not, Huber finds herself running sprints when she should be in line to pole vault. “A lot of the time I have to do my three attempts in a row,” she said. “I hate it. Huber kept in shape for the track season by serving as the school’s starting center fielder and No. 2 hitter on the softball team. “I like softball and track a lot,” said Huber, who maintains a 3.7 GPA and works as a surgical intern at Pikes Peak Regional Hospital. “Softball is a team sport, but I get my individuality from track.” Woodland Park’s next meet is the John Tate Invitational Friday and Saturday at Dutch Clark Stadium in Pueblo.

The Woodland Park girls soccer team upped its winning streak to four games with victories last week over Wasson (80) and Harrison (7-0) in Class 4A Metro League matches. Julia Briggs scored three goals in the victory over Wasson on April 2, while Jenny Sells added a goal and two assists. The stingy Panthers defense held Wasson without a shot on goal. On April 4, the Panthers shut out Harrison as Morghan Sieracki paced Woodland Park with three goals and an assist. Sells added two goals and two assists. She leads the club with 11 goals. Micaela Enger and Kayla Liller scored the other two Woodland Park goals. Woodland Park is 4-1-1 overall, 2-0 in league.

Cascade volunteers valiant By Pat Hill

phill@ourcoloradonews.com The Cascade Volunteer Fire Department is something like the little engine that could. At the apex of accidental drama near the intersection of U.S. 24 and the Pikes Peak Highway, the 15 volunteers perform Herculean tasks on a salary of zero. Traffic accidents, medical emergencies on Pikes Peak, an arsonist, forest fires and most recently, the Waldo Canyon inferno, the volunteers are a mighty force, dedicated to helping their community. Tom Harris, 60, joined the team 21 years ago and has his eye on retirement. In the meantime, he’s out there in frigid temperatures, particularly in February, when a rash of snowstorms made a skating rink out of Ute Pass. “The other day, we had five calls; we had one car go in the creek, one went into the wall and another one hit that car while we were there,” Harris said. “Every morning it’s like Parnelli Jones with people flying down the pass trying to get to work. I’ve personally run up the side of the moun-

tain trying to get out of the way.” If the volunteers were valiant before this summer, they are revered today for their heroic role in saving homes during the Waldo Canyon Fire. “We were lucky; probably within 20 or 30 minutes of being like Mountain Shadows,” Harris said, referring to the Colorado Springs subdivision that lost 346 homes in the fire that began June 23. “Had the wind been blowing more that weekend we would have lost every home up here. There would have been nothing we could have done about it.” On the front line for mishaps on one of the most famous tourist sites in the nation, the volunteers answer calls on Pikes Peak at least once a day. At 14,000 feet, Pikes Peak holds a certain mystique for the traveler, one that oftentimes involves the Cascade fire department. “It’s amazing; people come from all over the country, fly into Colorado Springs and they gotta go right to the top of the Peak and they’re from Kansas,” Harris said. “People who have just had open-heart surgery go up there. We get it all. People get up there

nengelberg@ourcoloradonews.com Despite the number of books written about Colorado’s favorite female mining legend Elizabeth Tabor, there’s more to tell and award-winning author Joyce B. Lohse has the scoop. The Palmer Lake Historical Society invites the public to hear “Mining For The Real Baby Doe” at 7 p.m. on April 18 at the Palmer Lake Town Hall, 28 Valley Crescent, for a fasLohse cinating presentation by Lohse about the woman who was nicknamed “Baby” Doe: The Miners’ Sweetheart while working the Fourth of July Mine in Central City with her first husband Harvey Doe. Baby Doe divorced Doe and secretly married the still-married Horace Tabor in September 1882. They married again for real on March 1, 1883. When silver crashed in 1893, Horace Tabor’s fortunes crashed with it. He died of appendicitis in 1899, leaving Baby Doe and their two daughters penniless. In early March of 1935, Baby Doe’s frozen body was discovered on the floor of a shack outside the Matchless Mine in Leadville where she had lived alone since about 1900. When she died, she was already a leg-

One of Colorado’s most famous women, Baby Doe Tabor, is the subject of a new book by Joyce Lohse, who will make a presentation on Tabor for the Palmer Lake Historical Society on April 18. Courtesy photo end and a subject for operas, plays, musicals and numerous books and magazine articles. Lohse is the author of “Baby Doe Tabor: Matchless Silver Queen.” In her presentation, she reveals how she manages to tell a familiar story in a different light. She also describes her adventures while research-

ing the Tabor family tale so she could find new and interesting perspectives to share with her readers and audience. “I started working on Baby Doe just before the state historical library closed for two years,” she said. “I wasn’t ready but I ended up madly racing around the li-

brary. I didn’t know what I was looking at but I did take copious notes.” In a way, closing the state library was a blessing. The closure sent Lohse to places she would never have seen otherwise, including one that had a collection of her cookbooks. “At first I thought `oh, that’s nice’ but then I realized that these were the everyday things that were most important to her,” she said. “She wrote things in the margins, including home remedies. It was like looking into her medicine cabinet.” Besides this biography, Lohse has also written about such figures as Gen. William Palmer, Justina Ford and Molly Brown, as part of the “Now You Know Bios” history series for Young Adults published by Filter Press, a book publishing company based in Palmer Lake. Copies of her books and other Filter Press books are available at the Covered Treasures Bookstore in Monument and at www. filterpressbooks.com. Lohse has won acclaim for her young adult writing, including three Colorado Independent Publishers Association EVVY awards, a silver WILLA award and a Colorado Authors’ League award for Best Young Adult Nonfiction Book. She also accepted the induction of one of her subjects, the first of Colorado’s First Ladies Eliza Routt, in the Colorado Women’s Hall of Fame in 2008. She is the administrator for Women Writing the West. More information about Lohse is available at www. lohseworks.com. This event is free and refreshments will be served after the presentation.

Levy talks Alzheimer’s Disease By Pat Hill

In a presentation that highlighted the emotional and physical toll on caregivers of patients with dementia or Alzheimer’s Disease, Paula Levy shared wisdom and compassion at the April Lunch and Learn series. “Alzheimer’s is as much a disease for the caregiver as it is for the one with the disease,” she said. “The levels of acceptance are different for the caregiver and the person. Learn what you can about the disease and accept it. It is what it is.” Prolonged denial is debilitating for both. “Anger can turn into social withdrawal; the anxiety level builds because you’re not doing your regular activities,” Levy said. The negative effects of suppressed anger can explode into depression and illness. “I’ve worked with caregivers who have worked themselves into physical illness. Some caregivers end up dying before the patient does,” she said. “I’ve seen too many caregivers burn out, a few die. I’ve seen caregivers become resentful against their person. It’s a horrible disease.” In reaching out to the caregivers in the audience, Levy emphasized the danger signals, among them, exhaustion and irritability. “The days never end when you’re a caregiver; you sleep with one eye open,” she said. “Irritability can turn into abuse, physical as well as emotional, which can be dangerous.” Granted, adapting to change can be difficult, Levy said. “This disease can bombard

you; maybe one day the loved one can’t put sentences together and the next day the sentences may come back but they’re wandering,” she said. Accepting change is the key to surmounting challenges presented by the disease. “It’s hard, in today’s society, to be okay with a new normal. You have to step outside yourself and not just for a day, it’s for the long-term,” she said. Rather than feeling burdened with devastation over life’s changes, Levy urged caregivers to develop new attitudes, some laced with humor. “Stop and think about how you can turn challenging or painful moments into moments of discovery and opportunity,” she said. Throughout her presentation, Levy focused on the positive, on the rewards of caring for a loved one, despite suffering multiple losses. “Fear of the losses is what keeps you rooted in negativity,” she said. “Acknowledge the losses and that can sometimes set you free. If you wallow in the loss, it’s paralyzing.” While it may be difficult to care for a loved one, Levy suggested simplifying everything, from meals and holiday celebrations to conversations. “Think of something they like and talk about that; you’re going to make a connection with the person’s heart and soul,” she said. “There will come a time when the words just aren’t there. The biggest thing is to try to let go of what used to be.” As the caregiver gains perspective on the disease, Levy offered guidelines for caregivers in conversing with their loved ones:

• Always agree, never argue • Never try to reason • Never shame the person • Never lecture but rather reassure • Never say “I already told you that” • Never say “Remember when?” • Never say “You can’t” • Never command or demand • Never force the person • Never condescend • Never do for them what they can do for themselves. “The person still deserves respect and dignity,” she said. Some in the audience struggled with the idea of putting their loved one in a nursing home. To this, Levy was ready. “A facility has a full staff, nurses, housekeepers, dietitians, activities, maintenance, drivers and volunteers,” Levy said. “With caregiving, one person does all of those things.” Placing a loved one in a nursing home is not failure, she said. “When you find the right facility, you’re never going to find the perfect place, but all of those people are doing what one or two caregivers do at home.” In her compassion for the caregiver, Levy offered a possibly new perspective on nursing homes. “It allows you to be with the loved one, to visit with them and hold their hands, to get to know them again, to be their companion again,” she said. “It’s not failing; it’s a gift to you and your health, a gift to your family and a gift to your loved one.” The Lunch and Learn series is sponsored by the Greater Woodland Park Chamber of Commerce. The Historic Ute Inn catered the lunch.
