145-foot mural unveiled, tells story of ‘Us’ Councilmember Brovetto resigns By Norma Engelberg Contributing writer

At the Feb. 19 Woodland Park City Council meeting, artist Lois Sprague and Woodland Arts Alliance representative Scott Stearman unveiled the rendering for a new mural covering Woodland Park’s history from its Ute Nation days to the 1950s. “The art’s alliance board of directors feel that public art done well will have a positive impact on the tone of our community,” Stearman said. “This new mural gives us an opportunity to make that positive impact.” He explained the reasoning behind the board’s choice for the first mural in the city’s mural project. “This first mural has to be a home run, something beyond whimsy and decoration,” Stearman said. “We all came here by choice and we want to tell the story of those who came before us and made Woodland Park the place where we chose to live. We want to tell the story of us, starting with the Utes and ending with a time when cars and horses still shared our streets.”

The board chose Sprague, a local artist noted for her portraiture, to create the mural and chose for its location the 145-foot wall of the Ute Pass Cultural Center that faces The Green and Midland Pavilion. To prepare the Ute Nation portion of the mural, Sprague and Stearman visited the Northern and Southern Utes, including Roland McCook, the great, great grandson of Chief Ouray and Chipeta. McCook’s face will dominate that section of the mural. The mural will be completed in three sections with each section unveiled separately. Sprague said McCook might be available for the first section’s unveiling. She plans to start preparation work in May and start painting in June. Other sections of the mural will cover lumbering, trains and the Ute Stampede Rodeo. Each section will include both text and a QR code leading to recordings by local voices explaining that section. “The city has set aside $3,000 in its 2015 budget to help with this project,” said City Manager David Buttery, adding, “This is not the season for painting but it is the season for fundraising.” The arts alliance will solicit donations and the faces of big donors could become faces in the mural, Sprague said. Buttery explained that there is no liability involve with painting a mural on a city building, saying, “We’re just repainting the building in an artistic way.” Councilmember Gary Brovetto provided the impetus that led to the city’s acceptance into the state’s Main Street Program and the possibility of creating a mural project and starting a creative arts district but at the end of the Feb. 19 meeting he resigned. “I did as much as I could to enhance our community and its economic development,” he said. “I’m losing my motivation so now it’s time for someone else to take over. I’m going to take some time off and veg-out. Some people come to Woodland Park to do that and then take on too much work.” Councilmembers and Mayor Neil Levy thanked Brovetto for his hard work and Councilman Ken Matthews led council and the audience in giving Brovetto a standing ovation.

The face of Roland McCook, great-great grandson of Chief Ouray and Chipeta. will be 20-feet tall when Lois Sprague finishes the Ute Nation section of a new mural she will be painting on a wall of the Ute Pass Cultural Center that faces The Green. A black and white rendering of the full-color mural was unveiled at the Feb. 19 Woodland Park City Council meeting. Photos by Norma Engelberg According to the city charter, council has 30 days to appoint a new councilmember to take Brovetto’s place. Advertising for letters of intention to serve has already started. The city’s recently reactivated Charter Review Advisory Committee will likely take a look at amending that 30-day timeline. Three councilmembers serve on the committee and council also appointed community members Gretchen Bundy-Ladowicz, Peter Scanlon and former Councilmember Eric Smith, leaving one more vacancy to fill. The committee’s first meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. on March 4 in the city hall upstairs conference room. All such meetings are public. Council also appointed Kathryn Kindt to the Keep Woodland Park Beautiful Committee. There is also one more opening on that committee. At the Feb. 5 council meeting, Buttery introduced an ordinance that continues the budget appropriations to pay the city’s 1999 Certificates of Participation just

Council gave final approval to

the ordinance and also approved a resolution supporting a request for a $350,000 grant from Great Outdoors Colorado for Memorial Park.

Economy on the upswing; real estate a mixed bag Divide has large increase in land sales By Pat Hill phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com While commercial property and land in Teller County and Woodland Park remain in the shadow of the Great Recession, there are silver linings in the economic forecast. “In Teller County, you cannot underestimate the positive impact of Charis Bible College,” said Mark Weaver, president of Ascent Commercial Group. “You’ve got the potential of 2,500 students and, for a town this size, the college is an enormous generator of people and employment.” Weaver was among the professionals predicting the future at the third annual event hosted by Betty Clark-Wine, Teller County’s assessor.

Since 2013, rental rates for the average apartment have increased by $300 a month, said Sharon Roshek, owner/broker with the Roshek Group at Coldwell Banker 1st Choice Realty. However, Trail Ridge Apartments have helped reduce the need for rental units, she added. Real estate is a mixed bag. For instance,

homes in the $150,000 range are selling but there are fewer of them while homes priced at $400,000 or above are not selling, Roshek said. In 2009, the median sales price was $187,850; in 2014, the median in 2014 in Woodland Park was $229,000. “Divide is the only area that actually went down in median price,” she said.

Revenues down, optimism up By Pat Hill phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com For a city that depends on gaming for its revenue stream, Cripple Creek had a bad year in 2014. “We’re cautiously optimistic for 2015,” said City Manager Ray DuBois, speaking at the Teller County Economic Forecast forum Feb. 18. Gaming provides 61 percent of the city’s revenue, the amount dependent upon the number of devices, such as slot machines, in the city’s casinos. In the last ten years, however, with the closures of several casinos, gaming revenue is down by 30 percent, from $2.6 billion in 2004 to $1.8 billion last year, DuBois said.

DuBois attributes the drop to the expansion of gaming around the nation, including several operating on Indian reservations. “Plus, Black Hawk has changed the game a little bit with their Las Vegas-style gaming,” he said. “Cripple Creek has really stayed with the historic aspect; Cripple Creek is a model for what was voted in by the people in the early `90s.” The Waldo Canyon Fire and subsequent flooding in 2012 and 2013, followed by construction on U.S. 24, affected Cripple Creek’s gaming revenue, DuBois said. Despite all the negatives, which temporarily included a $4 million construction project on Bennett Avenue, DuBois offered reasons for his optimistic outlook. “We now

the number of riders on the trolley car increased by 33 percent. “We’re seeing more families coming up,” DuBois said. In a nod to the business owners in the audience that day, DuBois cited that 32,000 cars were counted on Colo. Highway 67 and Teller 1 the second weekend in February. “Take an average of two people per car, you’re talking the number of potential customers who might stop here and shop is anywhere from 3,000 to 60,000 a day,” he said. “Think about that.” DuBois was one of several speakers at the forum but the only one focused on Cripple Creek.

Along with the optimistic outlook for next year, DuBois offered a long-range view of the economy in southern Teller County. “Heritage tourism, think about that,” he said. Some visitors are. Attendance at the Butte Theatre was up by 8.2 percent, or 20,000 people, while 46,000 people went to the Heritage Center in 2014. Visits to the jail museum were up by 9 percent and

CC & V awards Prospect $25,000 By Pat Hill

Good numbers follow festival’s first weekend City to purchase new shuttle with the help of federal grant By Sonja Oliver

Contributing writer Cripple Creek City Manager Ray DuBois reported some very good numbers for the Ice Festival’s first weekend, Feb. 13-15. DuBois said the highway traffic counters tabulated approximately 55,000 cars which is “up 30-35 percent over a regular (wintertime) weekend” and, weather permitting, they expect an increased number of visitors for the second weekend. Following the official finish of the ice festival, DuBois said that the ice sculptures will remain on Bennett Ave. for the next few weeks or until they are deemed to be “unsafe.” Some of the sculptures are interactive, such as the polar bear slide and a castle

maze, and can still be enjoyed by the public. In DuBois’ report to council, he said that the city was seeking public input before the next council meeting, scheduled for Mar. 4, concerning outdoor common consumption areas for alcohol. DuBois said the city was looking at the allowance of alcohol outside of establishments, but only in “certain designated areas” with “definite physical barriers.” DuBois also wanted to bring to council’s attention some interesting numbers concerning gaming money in Colorado that is “put down on tables and in slot machines.” Last year’s gaming revenues were $1.8 billion, 30 percent down from 2004’s high of $2.8 billion. However, he said the 2015 January numbers are strong locally; only threetenth’s of 1 percent down from last year. “Cripple Creek is a destination location with lots to do in addition to gaming,” DuBois added. In other city business on the agenda for

the Feb. 18 meeting, the council approved a 5311 federal transportation grant agreement that will move forward the purchase of a new shuttle. The budgeted price for the shuttle is $80,000 with the 80 percent federal share to be $64,000 and the city’s share coming in at $16,000. Transportation Manager Ted Schweitzer said that the shuttle to be replaced had 157,000 miles and they were “hard miles because they were short miles.” In addition to the federal share for the shuttle purchase, another 5311 federal transportation grant was approved by the city which will pay for a portion of administration and operating costs with regards to the city’s new shuttle. The federal government will share 80 percent ($38,100) of the administrative costs with the city’s obligation to be $9,525. Operating costs, which include fuel, salaries and maintenance, will be shared equally with the city at $120,520 each for a t

Schweitzer said the city had been bearing 100 percent of these costs. The city council complimented Schweitzer for his initiative for pursuing the grant. Acting as the Planning Commission, the council approved the vacation of lot lines for lots one through nine on property owned by St. Peter’s Catholic Church located at 316 N. Third St. In the submitted letter of intent the applicant stated, “There are no plans at this time for any additional development or construction.” However, the church is looking at the use of the property for a parking lot and eventually a Parish Hall at some point should funds become available. It was noted that a parking lot would alleviate congestion from street parking at that location on Sundays. The council will have a final vote regarding vacation of the lot lines at its next scheduled meeting on Mar. 4.

The Florissant Grange No. 420 will host gardener Kathy Kniss for the first of two gardening classes on Saturday, March 7 from noon to 3 p.m. The second class will be held on Friday, April 10 from 6 to 9 p.m. Gardening at high altitude can be tricky and Kniss will teach about the type of plants that grow best in this area, how to start a garden and the many nuances that make a successful garden.

The class will cover seed selection and garden design, container gardens, garden towers, sunken cold frames, critter protection, propagation, transplanting, soil building, composting, organic gardening, season extension and preservation of the bounty (harvest). “People think mountain gardening is difficult, but you can still garden up here and it’s easy if you know what to do,” Kniss said. “Some plants that do well in this area are peas, greens, onions, herbs, potatoes, lettuce, broccoli, beets and carrots — even tomatoes. It’s the (seed) variety that makes the difference,” Kniss said. Kniss said there will be an emphasis on budget-friendly methods

which makes gardening affordable, and added that people think it is an expensive endeavor — but it doesn’t have to be. Kniss said she will show attendees steps on how to build a garden tower on a budget. “(The towers) can go for $1,700 retail but I built mine for $60, and that includes the peat moss, pearlite and worms.” Kniss said. Kniss will be also cover the many reasons to garden — environmental, economic, health, biodiversity — in an entertaining and informative format. In addition, Kniss says she has an organic approach to gardening. “Part of why I teach is because of all of the additives and GMO foods

out there. I am still eating off of my own produce from last season and I know where it comes from,” Kniss said. The classes will cover garden projects which are documented with step by step, along with do-ityourself photos as well as gardening technique photos from around the world. Starter sets of seed packages will also be available for purchase at an incredible discount. A suggested donation of $5 per class will benefit the Florissant Grange for ongoing restoration of the 1880s era schoolhouse. For more information, call 719748-5004.

Florissant back in favor with health department By Pat Hill

phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com After being sanctioned for noncompliance with state water-quality standards, the Florissant Water & Sanitation District is back in the good graces of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. With a new board dedicated to improving water quality and reducing debt, the CDPHE awarded the district a $950,000 grant last year, added $200,000 recently, to improve the infrastructure with a WesTech Microfloc filtration system. In the past, many of the district’s 94 customers were turning on faucets that delivered brown tap water tainted by nitrates, iron and manganese. While the water was deemed safe, nonetheless, the state mandated that the district upgrade the aging system. “We’ll replace pipes and filtration systems inside the building,” said Barb Faux, who, with her husband, Bob Faux, is on the board of directors. As well, the improvements include three holding tanks outside the facility. “The neat thing is that, as a board, we went to the Woodland Park Water Department, and saw the same system on a much larger scale,” Faux said. “It’s a wonderful system and

The organization relies on grants, donations and fundraisers to fill gaps in its $1.2 million annual budget. “Employee salaries and wages are in line with the market,” Barrowman said. “Prospect has to have extremely skilled nurses, physical and occupational therapists, speech/language pathologists, home care aides, personalcare providers.” Barrowman is proud of her staff of 10 full time and 20 part-time employees. “They are sophisticated, highlyeducated and in short supply nationally, let alone in Teller County,” she said. “Of those experts, Prospect seeks employees who choose to work in the mountains.”

Prospect’s staff works in less-thanideal conditions at times. “They drive treacherous, icy, muddy roads, in order to come into the home and personally take care of people in their environment,” she said. “It’s a lot of windshield time, alone time; you’re not sharing this wound care or this need with another partner or the next shift.” Costs are higher for an organization that serves a small market. “We see about 40 hospice patients, 275 home-care patients and about 80 in the Helping Hands program a year,” Barrowman said. “Those numbers are what competitors would have on a daily basis.” The CC &V grant is a gift that helps the organization continue its work. “They have a special corporate philosophy - they give back, they care,” Barrowman said. “I feel strongly that our citizens deserve the same right as an urban population. And Cripple Creek & Victor Mining Co. has made that possible.”

The new board started the upswing with the installation of smart meters, which are read by Bob Faux and Penland. “We’re actually billing customers for what they’re using,” Faux said. “We were getting false readings for years.” With accurate readings, district customers are paying more for their water while helping to put the district in the black. “We’re managing our debt better because we have taken out a consolidation loan, lowered our payments and spread them out over a longer period,” Barb Faux said. Bob Faux added. “It’s taken a long time to get to this point, but it’s nice,” he said. “The best part is that the customer is going to have very good water.” If the water infraction weren’t bad enough, the district was also cited by the state for its wastewater treatment system, which was unable to meet pending discharge permit limits. For now, the board has its collective fingers crossed that the CDPHE will look favorably on its application for another $950,000 grant to replace the wastewater lagoon system. “The lagoons are an archaic system,” Barb Faux said. If the district wins the grant, construction is a year or two out.

Medicinal whiskey and ‘the loophole’ During prohibition in the ‘20s and early ‘30s, it was often referred to as “the Loophole.” Section 6 and 7 of the Volstead Act, provided a way to legally purchase and sell Whiskey at a time when it was otherwise — a criminal activity. “No one shall manufacture, sell, purchase, transport, or prescribe any liquor without first obtaining a permit from the commissioner to do so, except that a person may, without a permit, purchase and use liquor for medicinal purposes …” There was more legalese, stipulations and etceteras, of course, but the lawyers saw light in Section 6, and Section 7 gave some power to the doctor. “No one but a physician holding a permit to prescribe liquor shall issue any prescription for liquor. And no physician shall prescribe liquor unless after careful physical examination of the person for whose use such prescription is sought, or such examination is found impracticable, then upon the best information obtainable, he in good faith believes that the use of such liquor as medicine by such person is necessary and will afford relief to him from some known ailment.” Men of vision, like pharmacistturned-lawyer George Remus, memorized the Volstead Act and imagined and realized tremendous profit from its “Loophole.” Remus bought his first pharmacy when he was only 19 but tired of the business and became a lawyer at 24, according to author Thomas M. Coffey, in his 1975 book “The Long Thirst – Prohibition in America, 1920-1933.” Remus specialized in murder cases and at the beginning of prohibition he noticed that many of his clients, of whom he had no great respect for their

intelligence, were making a tremendous amount of money. About the same time he began an affair with his secretary, Imogene, divorced his wife, and decided to use his knowledge of the law to profit from prohibition. He and Imogene were soon remarried (she had a 13-year-old daughter, Ruth), and they moved to Cincinnati to be near the bourbon distillery country. Remus bought distressed distilleries and pharmacies and amassed a network that sold and transported legal whiskey from his distilleries to his pharmacies scattered across the country in specially designed trucks. Much of the product, somehow “fell off the truck” on the way to its destination. In his first three years at that business, it was reported that he made $40 million. By New Year’s Eve of 1922, he was making so much money and spreading it around so quickly that all the female guests at a party at his mansion, hosted by he and his wife Imogene, received a new car. But not to leave out the men; diamond watches were offered for their husbands. The wives and husbands just happened to be well-connected politicians, policemen, government officials, and such. “The Loophole” was very good to George Remus.

It, and the path it carried him down, also eventually landed him in jail. Perhaps because of something that “fell off the truck.” And, while he was in jail, his wife Imogene, ran off with a “revenuer” (Franklin Dodge, prohibition agent) and “liquidated” his fortune. When he got out, he tracked her down and killed her in front of her daughter Ruth, and then successfully defended himself in court with a “temporary insanity” plea. But Remus wasn’t the only one that saw benefits in “The Loophole.” Though prohibition killed many good whiskey distilleries, some of the oldest operations surviving today found shelter in the medicine business at that time. American Medicinal Spirits, for example, was formed around 1920 and preserved such longtime brands as Old Grand Dad, Mount Vernon, Hermitage, Tip-Top and Old Crow. All of these brands as a result were well positioned after repeal. Interestingly enough, the decriminalization of marijuana, decided by Colorado voters in 2000 with a constitutional amendment that allows people with “debilitating medical conditions” to register with the state to use marijuana and allows “primary care givers” to legally supply for medical conditions — sounds more than vaguely familiar. A Colorado constitutional amendment was OKed by voters in November 2012, after 55 percent of voters said yes to legalizing recreational marijuana. Colorado pot sales began in 2014. In some ways, it seems the “medicinal” marijuana change foreshadowed the “recreational” one — perhaps 21st Century equivalent “The Loophole?”

Baseball’s spring training has finally arrived On Feb. 27, the Colorado Rockies will hold their first full workout of the 2015 season at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick near Phoenix. By the end of the week all 30 major league teams will be at their spring training complexes in Arizona and Florida. For many fans of the game, spring training is a great time to get an up close and personal look at their favorite major league stars and prospects. The spring training complexes and ballparks offer easy access for fans and the weather is usually perfect. You would not want to be in downtown Phoenix of Fort Lauderdale in the middle of summer. In Arizona, they call spring training the Cactus League. In Florida it is called the Grapefruit League. In my opinion, spring training is unmatched by any other major sport. Does anybody really go hog wild over NFL training camps in July and August? Or NHL or NBA camps in September and October? Major League Soccer has a training camp, but the families making vacation plans around the Columbus Crew preseason workouts are few and far between. From its early days — at least since the early 1900s — baseball’s spring training has had a held a special place in the hearts and minds of much of the American public. It is increasingly becoming a bigger deal to large multitudes of fans in Latin American countries and the Far East. The beauty of spring training, in large part, comes from the busy off-season, or Hot Stove League. During the late fall and winter months, fans keep the

game alive with talk of the next season. Somehow, someway, teams that finished in the back of the pack one year become contenders five months later. Hope springs eternal for “dem Bums,” “Halos,” “Fightin’ Phils,” “Brew Crew,” “Twinkies” and “The Sox.” It’s been a while since I covered spring training. The last time was 2002 when I went to Arizona on assignment for The Gazette and San Bernardino (Calif.) Sun newspapers. In those days, the Rockies shared Hi Corbett Field in Tucson with the Cleveland Indians. The dilapidated complex was not pretty to look at, but it had a wonderful spring training feel. The players were easily accessible and generally very friendly to fans and the media. Larry Walker and Todd Helton were kings and in very big demand. The Seattle Mariners, who I was there to cover for The Sun, were training in Phoenix. They were coming off a 116win season. Mariners’ outfielder Ichiro Suzuki was the reining American League MVP and Rookie of the Year. Lou Piniella was the manager of the club and the Mariners were about the coolest thing in all of baseball.

I had a great week in Arizona covering the Rockies and Seattle. I collected several foul balls, kicked back in the desert warmth and enjoyed the games. Growing up in southern California, the then California Angels used to train in Palm Springs. The Angels trained there from 1961 through 1992. The stadium was about a one-hour drive from my house in Redlands. Opened in 1949, it was more of a city park — much like Spurgeon Field in Colorado Springs — than the lavish spring training facilities of today. The memories I made there have lasted me a lifetime. Seeing Nolan Ryan, Frank Tanana, Bobby Bonds, Reggie Jackson, Joe Rudi, Bobby Grich and Don Baylor up close was the thrill of a lifetime. I will never forget a time in 1982 when the late Billy Martin came to town as manager of the Oakland A’s. I got his autograph on a ball after one game. He was pretty cool. If you get the chance to make it to spring training, I hope the memories are as wonderful for you as they are for me. And if you do make it down to Arizona you may want to stop by Maryvale Baseball Park in Phoenix and check out the Milwaukee Brewers. After all, the Brewers are the new Triple-A affiliate of the Colorado Springs Sky Sox. Get familiar with their players. Just in case you were wondering, the first regular season major league baseball game is April 5 between the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals. Opening Day is April 6. The Rockies will be in Milwaukee that day.

No substitute for being educated According to the CDC, the measles outbreak that had its genesis in the Disneyland complex in Anaheim, California in mid-December of last year is showing no signs of waning. CBS news reported on Feb. 17, that there have been 141 reported cases in 17 states, including one in Colorado. The reemergence of a disease declared eradicated by the CDC in 2000 has reignited the contentious debate over vaccines and immunizations. The website http:// thinkprogress.org/ reports that, in lieu of vaccinations, some California parents are holding “measles parties,” where their unvaccinated children can have a play date with kids infected with the measles. The theory is that exposing the well children to the sick children will help build up the “natural” resistance of the well child. Good idea? “Measles is a serious illness that can have significant consequences,” says California state epidemiologist Dr. Gil Chavez. He added that 30% of people who have been infected in the current outbreak have

been hospitalized. Regardless if measles parties are a good idea, many parents are questioning the safety of childhood immunizations wondering if the vaccines cause more harm than good. Even with the knowledge that vaccines save lives, there exists an uncertainty about what response a particular vaccine may trigger in a child’s body. There is little argument about the efficacy of the immunization process in protecting both children and adults from disease. Vaccines are arguably the greatest medical success story of the twentieth century. The average number of annual smallpox

cases from 1900 to 1904 was 48,164. There have been no reported smallpox incidents in the United States since 1950. Paralytic polio cases from 1951 though 1954 averaged 147,271 per year. The last case of naturally occurring paralytic polio in the United States was in 1979. Get the idea? Vaccines work by injecting an inactivated (dead) agent or, in some cases, a weakened live organism into a child, which stimulates the body’s immune system into reacting as if there were a real infection. The immune system then attacks the “pseudo infection” and remembers the organism, so if it enters the body in the future, the immune system can quickly fight it off. Proponents of the immunization process are hard at work attempting to dispel numerous myths that are prolific throughout the Internet. One is that there are “hot lots” of vaccine that are associated with more adverse reactions. The other common myth is that vaccines cause many harmful side effects,

including death. The CDC says both are false. Immunizations opponents are not so easily convinced contending that placing the testing process in the hands of manufacturers is akin to putting the fox in charge of the chicken coop. In addition, they refer to numerous antidotal reports that link vaccines to adverse side effects. So, where does that leave you as a parent who wants the safest and most effective health care for your children? You might want to visit http://vaccines.procon. org/, where you’ll find a balanced presentations of the arguments for and against vaccines. There’s no substitute for being educated.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor: I am announcing that this is my last council meeting. I have dedicated myself for the last three years and feel I did as much as I could to enhance the quality of life of Woodland Park citizens. I started the dialogue which created the main street program and creative arts district. These two programs, I believe, are vital to the economic development of Woodland Park. Economic development is important to create an environment to help existing businesses thrive and to encourage new quality businesses to our town. This enhances our Community to provide an environment which will give our citizens a reason to come downtown to socialize and recreate. This will also give us the possibility to increase sales tax revenue so that we can do more for our citizens than just provide the basics. Without economic development we may not have sales tax revenue to do such things as pay off the aquatic center impending debt, operating and maintenance costs. I encourage the council to continue their support of both mainstream and creative arts district programs. I have also helped the dda establish a vision for woodland station. I still have a vision for a thriving, community friendly, woodland park. Under the current circumstances, I have lost my drive, motivation and enthusiasm to continue. I, therefore, believe it is in the best interest of our community to resign and provide the opportunity for someone

else to serve. I thank each councilmember, city staff, and all the great volunteers for their service to sustain a vibrant Woodland Park. Gary Brovetto Dear Editor: The Green Mountain Falls Board of Trustees are now offering workshops, regular/special meetings, executive sessions that last until 1 a.m. — yes, a.m. and as of Feb. 17 — potentially disastrous financial news. First was the Special Meeting of Jan. 27, 2015 that was immediately called into executive session over “municipal contracts” and continued from 8 p.m. to past 10 p.m. What “municipal contracts” were publicly reported? One for a small fence and concrete work and a discussion on the Town Hall audio/visual needs for live streaming. Could that really take 2 hours? Then came the workshop/special (regular) meeting on Feb. 4. Why Wed. and not the regular Tues. scheduled meeting? The Clerk “forgot” to post the meeting. Revising the law for passing town ordinances (laws) was the topic of discussion. For at least 38 years Green Mountain Falls has followed the law designated for cities along with Woodland Park and Cripple Creek. But in December when the Board of Trustees failed to publish and provide a public hearing for budget approval Trustee Tyler Stevens stated this inconvenience was just further evidence “that the Ordinances just don’t work for us.” What would work for this board of trustees? The clerk could

Life is a highway I mentioned earlier about the change in the highway from Colorado Springs to Pueblo. Today I want to go deeper into the story. It was January 1928 while the highway department was looking to build a safer highway. It was not called US 85-87 yet. The highway was dangerous. It was still just a gravel road. It crossed over the two sets of railroad tracks that connect Denver and Pueblo nearly 50 times. Only one of these very dangerous crossings was just north of Monument. The state visited town several times in 1927 with plans for the new road. Monument was not very happy about the ideas about where they wanted to build the highway. At this time the highway followed an old wagon road north from Colorado Springs, through Monument. What really upset Monument was the new highway would not come through town, but down a new street. The city wanted the highway department to build an underpass at the two crossings north of town. They were unable to get all of their ideas changed in the plan, and five miles of the new paved road was already nearly finished south from Castle Rock. Paving started from Pueblo in March. A paving plant was soon to move to an operation at Palmer Lake, where the new highway was progressing south from Larkspur. Once that stretch was finished, that plant would move south to Monument, where the road

would not use the main street, but build east around their downtown. This crew, like the crews working north from Pueblo worked in five mile jumps. The crew working north from Pueblo was nearing the Pueblo-El Paso county line. At Monument there were big changes north of town. To eliminate the dangerous grade crossings, both the Rio Grande and Santa Fe would have new underpass bridges built. The new highway would come south from Palmer Lake, under the bridges, then swing south, following the Santa Fe all the way south to Pring (where Baptist Road crosses.) There was still a grade crossing in Monument, over the Santa Fe, but it was not as dangerous as the one north of town. This road was the route used until the 1950s when the new US 85-87 was built over Monument Hill. A few years later it became Interstate 25. As you travel through the Air Force Academy you can still see bits of it. It is still used from Baptist Road to Larkspur.

post a new law on Monday at 5 p.m. and the board of trustees could approve it at 7 p.m. the next day at a regular meeting. This is “convenient” for seven people in GMF but what about the other 600? Citizens voiced a need for a public hearing but the board (and with Town Attorney Matt Krob’s insistence) would only offer the option of a “workshop” which is usually held at 6 p.m. when the average citizen returns from work and/or is having dinner. This workshop ended, the special meeting (minutes provided by Jane Newberry) ended with the town clerk apologizing for “what I’ve missed” and executive session (with all employees) started at 10 p.m. lasting three hours. A few citizens stayed waiting in the hallway. While chatting the Marshal came out of the meeting and said, “Keep quite or just leave.” Nice way to get citizens to remain interested in Town meetings. Mac Pitrone and Jane Newberry stayed until 1 a.m. What took three hours?

The bombshell came Tuesday, Jan. 17. Look at the January 2015 balance sheet and January expenditures on Lorrie Worthey’s Facebook page or call town hall. January expenditures were $43,941.36 and revenues $24,462.07! That’s negative $19,379.29. Salaries and benefits for the month: Marshal $5,519.90, clerk $5,270.78 and 1.5 Public Works employees $6,580.92 for a grand total of $17,371.60. Then it was announced the town is short of their matching funds for the DOLA grant for the town hall project and the town needs to come up with $86,000 to satisfy the requirements of the grant. DOLA is withholding a payment which appears to be the $144,020 on the balance sheet. Another note — no bills were paid from Feb. 1 through Feb. 17, according to the agenda. Maybe the Town should hire a second attorney who specializes in municipal bankruptcy. Gail Gerig

LIFE Greek Theatre? No problem at Ute Pass 8 Pikes Peak Courier

February 25, 2015

P I K E S

By Pat Hill

phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com This is the fourth in the series that examines education at Ute Pass Elementary School. This month, the school features students performing plays by Shakespeare and Aeschylus. Tapping into a child’s natural flair for drama and lack of inhibition, Candy Mowery has first-graders at Ute Pass Elementary relishing their roles in Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night.” Undaunted by big words or larger meanings, the budding thespians are hamming it up, emitting the proper emotions with lines such as “Alas! Today!” The kids are almost giddy over the drama, especially in the scene where giant waves cause a boat to split in half and throw a man overboard. To portray the impact of the storm, two youthful actors flap their arms, the waves signified by lengthy sleeves on a large shirt. “It’s an awesome ocean,” Mowery said. Two weeks before the real thing on Feb. 25, the kids are having so much fun with Shakespeare’s drama that Mowery has to remind them of a few things. “You guys be serious: this is rehearsal, okay? We’re not first-graders anymore - we have a part to play,” she said. It’s obvious that Mowery has stretched the students’ imagination and taken them back to 1600. “These kids are sharp enough to play Shakespeare,” she said. As incentive to paying attention to the script, Mowery offers a carrot. “Get to know your lines better and you get a costume,” she said. “Earn your costume.” Most of the students earned costumes. The Shakespeare production is a collaboration of Mowery and Beth Romano, who teaches classical literature. “We’re doing classics because there are universal themes about life, betrayal, loyalty, friendship, all those kinds of things, written in such an eloquent way,” Romano said. “I read portions of books to try to give them a taste, to whet their interest, bring the level up as much as I can.” Among the books students are reading are, in addition to Shakespeare, are: “The

Princess and the Goblin,” “Little Women,” “Charlotte’s Web,” “Winnie the Pooh,” and “Brave Irene” by William Steig. A peek into Romano’s classroom is to see students engaged, at times, singing songs from America’s folk and fairy tales - accompanied by the teacher playing her guitar. To enhance the study, Romano highlights the poetry of Robert Frost. “What a wonderful American image,” she said. The classics include the study of Greece back to 525 B.C. As a result, Mowery and Romano have the fourth-graders performing “Agamemnon” by Aeschylus. In rehearsal, Grayson Rockenbach gave a ringing speech by the hero that begins with “Rejoice, Rejoice ye..,” his performance a testament to the power of the teachers’ belief in the dramatic ability of youngsters. For the school’s principal, Chris BriggsHale, educational philosophy at Ute Pass is strengthened by research into the mindset of children and adults. Rather than stroking a child’s self-esteem, research shows that approaching goals with a “growth” rather than a “fixed” mindset is the key to accomplishment. The studies are the subject of a book written by Carol S. Dweck titled “Mindset: The New Psychology of Success.” To encourage the students, Briggs-Hale has a number of posters in the hallways espousing the growth, or can-do, attitude. The teachers are on board. “The principal felt the classics would be a great addition to our program to raise the level of literacy and give the students a chance to think about things that are a little more grown up,” Romano said. Mowery and Romano remain undaunted by what some might consider obstacles to learning Shakespeare, particularly for kids who can barely read. “Whatever I think I can do, I know the kids can,” Mowery said. “The kids aren’t the problem; it’s our own handicaps we put on ourselves.”

‘Literature enriches each day of our lives’ Matt Rogge, parent of Lairden and Karsten, fourth grade and kindergarten, respectively, speaks about the curriculum at Ute Pass and offers an opinion about mandatory state testing. “For us as parents, Greek theatre, classic literature and Shakespeare are just really the connections to all the joy and suffering of the human condition,” said Matt Rogge, who has two sons at the school. “That’s something Shakespeare captured more than 400 years ago.” The analogies and metaphors in the classics are relevant today, Rogge said. “Whether we’re a kid or an adult, literature enriches each day of our lives, makes us better students, better friends,” he said. “The richness of life is in those things.” While already cheerleaders for Ute Pass, Rogge and his wife, Ariella, who live in Florissant, were pleasantly surprised that

Lairden, their fourth-grader, would be part of Greek theatre. “There’s a lot of names in there you can’t even pronounce,” he said, with a grin. Rogge credits Mowery, the Ute Pass muse, for instilling energy and drama in her students, no matter what the century. “She gets access into their potential because she’s hard, demanding and has high expectations.” he said. “And they respond to that.” As far as all the controversy over testing, Rogge doesn’t consider the mandate a dealbreaker. “If the core values and education are there, then testing is what we have to do to get funding,” he said. “Testing is just a hoop you have to jump through. At Ute Pass they’re not forgetting all the important parts of education, not letting testing derail that.” — Pat Hill

Awards announced by Chamber of Commerce By Greater Woodland Park Chamber of Commerce One of the most prestigious awards presented by the Greater Woodland Park Chamber is that of Wagon Boss. A Wagon Boss should be a person of great ethical standards and a distinguished leader who is actively involved in the community. • Wagon Boss: Tony Perry, president of Park State Bank & Trust. Perry is a solid community leader with an established history of working behind the scenes to promote and improve life in the Woodland Park/ Teller County region. Admiration among his business peers stood out consistently throughout his nomination packet. Perry brings a thoughtful and ambitious perspective to some of the most important community activities in the region. Mayor Neil Levy, current Wagon Boss, said, “There is not a person among us who has done more for our business community over the last five years than Tony. His willingness to lead the Main Street Makeover and provide guidance in times of need is unmatched.” Perry is involved in helping the Pikes Peak Regional Hospital, El Tesoro Retreat Center, Pikes Peak Region Boy Scouts, Little Chapel Food Pantry, Ute Pass Saddle Club, Choices, Habitat for Humanity, Help the Needy, Ute Pass Symphony Guild, Woodland Park Aquatic Project and the Main Street Makeover. Terry Buckner, chief executive officer of PPRH, said, “Tony is a true advocate supporting our mission to provide top quality medical services for all Teller County residents.” • Volunteer of the Year: Shannon Hellman, branch manager of Vectra Bank.

Shannon works a full-time job but still manages to volunteer for organizations such as Junior Achievement, where she has taught at both Summit and Gateway elementary schools. Working with organizations such as Habitat for Humanity’s Women’s Build Day, a Torch Run for Special Olympics, bell ringing for the Salvation Army and Lions Club Donkey Basketball were just a few of the organizations noted in the nomination packet. When she leaves work she puts on the hat of Mom to two rambunctious twin five-year-old boys who keep her and her husband, Steve, on their toes. “Shannon is a unique individual who finds the time to give back outside of her career and family commitments. She is the epitome of what we seek in a volunteer candidate.” said Jed Bowman, chairman of the chamber board. • Employee of the Year, Renee Bunting: “Described as a blessing to the agency she works for along with being a chronic overachiever is a true description of our 2014 Employee of the Year,” said Debbie Miller, chamber president. “I am honored to have worked with her through a variety of programs, but more importantly to call her my friend, too.” Bunting arrived in Teller County in 2007 and promptly put her talents and skills to work for the betterment of the region. She joined the Teller County Sheriff’s Office in 2013, serving as the Director of Information and Events, a role that is significant to internal and external functions of the office. She approaches every task with diligence and conscientiousness. Her organizational skills and goal-oriented strategy allow her to effectively meet challenges head-on, which in turn relates to visible successes with her duties at the sheriff’s office. As Vice President of the Sheriff’s Leadership Coun-

cil, Bunting handles internal office issues as an ombudsman, balancing sensitivity for the employees involved with the ongoing need for discipline and structure within the organization. She serves as the critical conduit of information to the sheriff regarding public events, law enforcement publications and relevant pending legislation. “In a community where relationships are highly valued, Renee builds bridges and nurtures relationships on behalf of the sheriff’s office in a highly successful manner,” said David Buttery, Woodland Park City Manager. • Nonprofit of the Year: Charis Bible College. In January of 2014, Charis Bible College opened its Woodland Park campus to more than 600 students and a staff of 75 people. In keeping with their mission, the college equips men and women to have an impact in the world and their community doing the work of the ministry which includes graduates who go out as bible-school directors, missionaries, pastors and teachers. The school changes the lives of their students by teaching them to follow the truths of the Bible, which has a positive impact within their own families, their communities and their workplace. Many of the Charis students volunteer in projects such as cleanup efforts after the Waldo Canyon Fire, sprucing up at Garden of the Gods, cleaning up after the devastating floods in the Boulder area, and working with local Teller County charities such as Habitat for Humanity, the Clothes Closet, Choices, CASA and the Pro Cycle Challenge. In September, the college hosts a volunteer fair where nonprofits are invited to have a booth to share their needs with the students. “This one event alone has such a positive impact for nonprofits and businesses in the region” said Marilyn Dougall,

board member. • Business of the Year: The Edgewood Inn, owned and operated by Dean and Kathy Buysee. Kathy’s roots in Teller County can be traced back to her great-great grandfather who in April of 1896 was in Cripple Creek when the great fire began. He loaded up his family and moved them to safety. Her great-grandfather had a cabin on Preachers Row in the region. She spent many summers here visiting with relatives. Kathy had always dreamed of relocating to the area someday and building a home with a panoramic Pikes Peak view. It was a dream she shared with her husband Dean who helped find the perfect location for The Edgewood Inn. After opening June 1, 2012, the Buysees were forced to evacuate just 23 days later due to the Waldo Canyon Fire. The devastating fire news reported by the national press indicated Colorado was burning up, which in turn prevented many potential tourists from calling for reservations. Determined to share their home with others, the Buysees began hosting weddings in addition to their current bed and breakfast offerings. Visitors not only experience the graciousness of Dean and Kathy, but the allure to stay and play in Woodland Park and Teller County has been tremendous. Along with their B & B and wedding venues they are active in the local community hosting parties, fundraisers and their wonderful relationship with the Holiday Home Tour initiative. The awards will be presented at the chamber’s Masquerade Dinner March 13 at Cheyenne Mountain Resort in Colorado Springs. For tickets, call the chamber at 687-9885 or go to woodlandparkchamber. com.

Economy Continued from Page 1

In 2009, the average house stayed on the market 101 days while in 2014 the average time was 109 days. “I take it as real estate agents being realistic with the client in helping them to know that prices have gone down,” Roshek said The housing market today tilts toward multi-family, a trend reflected locally in the build-out of Trail Ridge apartments, said Skip Howes, owner of Scott Homes, Ltd. and broker with ReMax Performance. With today’s tougher qualifying regulations, renting fits the needs of many of today’s potential homeowners. However, as the national economy strengthens, credit scores may drop, Howes said, but there are still people qualifying for conventional loans. “But the fun-and-games products are gone,” he said. A potential homeowner with an annual income of $40,000, for instance, could qualify for a $200,000 loan. “This ties in with what’s selling in the area,” Howes said. On a negative note, land prices are down considerably. “This is pathetic, sad. Land is where we have been hurt the worst,” Roshek said. In 2013, 20 parcels of land sold while in 2014, 21 sold. Divide had the largest increase in land sales, she said. “Land prices are extremely low, as much as 40 to 50 percent lower than what they were at the high,” Roshek said. “That is really tragic.” Land prices might be low, but for buyers planning to build a home, Schnitker advises paying 50 percent down but expect overruns on construction costs. “You need to build in some contingencies,” he said. “When you get ready to build part a home and that’s the last dollar you have, es in then you probably need to rent for a while.” said, Commercial property, on the other hand, is a good investment, Weaver said. Pass “As our population grows and the economy ma in slowly starts to turn around, commercial tury. is going to be an attractive investment,” beWeaver said. “Use a lot of equity, 25 to 30 high percent.” pond However, there isn’t a lot of commercial inventory, particularly downtown, added ting, Michael Harper, who is self-employed as a dealreal estate broker. “But what there is sells ation

’

for $40 to $170 a square foot, Harper said. “Commercial real estate is a lagging indicator, not a leading indicator.” Weaver added. “The price swings are crazy wild. A lot of these properties are owner/ real estate/bank-owned so that’s why you’re seeing some private owners selling at $100 a square foot,” he said. “Then you see pressure on lenders to sell for $40 a square foot.” No doubt about it, the sounds of development rang throughout Woodland Park in 2014, with the opening of Woodland Hardware, Tractor Supply Co. Arby’s, Trail Ridge, Our Lady of the Woods Catholic Church and the first phase of Charis Bible College. On the charts for 2015 are the completion of Trail Ridge and the second phase of Charis, which includes an auditorium that seats 3,200 and a five-story parking garage, said Sally Riley, Woodland Park’s planning director. At the east end of town, Starbucks and Verizon Go Wireless are opening in the multi-tenant facility adjacent to Walmart. The new businesses are two of the 600 building permits issued last year, resulting in more than $51 million in construction valuations. “That was partly because of Charis, the apartments and other construction projects,” Riley said. Charis contributed $100,000,000 worth of constructions costs to the city, said Brian Fleer, director of economic and downtown development. Not only is construction on a roll but sales reflect an improved business climate. “In 2005, sale-tax revenue was $1.3 million and $4.7 million in 2014,” Fleer said. “It shows on the radar that we’re able to lease things. Most everything we do is based on market study.” As he did last year, Brad Spivey, chief investment officer at Park State Bank & Trust, highlighted the role of the federal government in the national as well as local economy. “We see modest improvements from the Great Recession from 2008 and 2009 that required a tremendous amount of fiscal and monetary stimulus from our policy makers,” Spivey said. “We’re at the junction where many in the Federal Reserve feel they can remove some of that stimulus, that the economy has reached self-sustaining steam.”

Basketball seasons come to an end Panthers’ girls set team record for most victories; Hopfe stands out for boys By Danny Summers

dsummers@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Woodland Park High School boys and girls basketball teams saw their seasons come to an end last week with no postseason berths on the line. The boys finished 0-23 under first-year head coach John Paul Geniesse. The Panthers’ girls were 10-13 under first-year head coach Kris Kemp, setting a school record for the most wins in a season. The previous high was nine. The girls faded down the stretch, however, losing 10 of their last 13 games, and eight of their last nine. The girls began Class 4A Metro League play with back-to-back victories over Widefield and Harrison, and made it through the first round of conference action with a 4-3 record and very much alive in the playoff race. But things unraveled for the Panthers in the second round of league play as Woodland Park went 1-6; its lone victory coming over Harrison. During a 75-27 loss to Mesa Ridge on Feb. 18, Grizzlies standout center Kylee Shook record a rare quadruple double with 24 points, 22 rebounds, 12 blocked shots and 11 assists. The Panthers had stellar efforts from numerous players. Sophomore guard Mackenzie Porter led the team in scoring average with 12.2 points per game to go along with 3.2 rebounds and 2.1 steals. Senior guard Katelyn Kemp turned in a solid campaign with 11.5 ppg and 5.6 rebounds per game. Senior center Darian Sanfelice averaged 6.1 points and 6.6 rebounds per game. Other standout players included senior guard Lexie Comer (4.3 ppg, 5.1 rpg), senior guard Jenny Sells (5.2, 3.6), senior Jeannette Worscheck (3.3 ppg) and senior Katie Stunkard (3.2 ppg). The record may not indicate it, but the Woodland Park boys improved dramatically since early December. The Panthers came within an eyelash of winning two of their final three games. They took The Classical Academy to overtime in a 61-54 loss, and fell to Mitchell 69-67. Woodland Park senior Sam Hopfe distinguished himself from the rest of his teammates with consistent play all season. Hopfe led the team in scoring (12.7 ppg) and rebounds (5.4). He averaged 22 points per game over the team’s last three games, including a season-high 25 against Mesa Ridge in the final contest of the season. “Sam capped off his senior season with a great game,” Geniesse said “It was a great effort.” Junior point guard Dominik Cunico was second on the team in scoring 7.5 ppg, followed by junior Jason Kekich (6.0). Among the upsides for next season is that only Hopfe and Justin Logsdon graduate. Everyone else, including freshmen Josh Boldin, Kristian Hooker and Dempsey Battin, return next season.

Woodland Park senior forward Sam Hopfe, No, 20 in white, was arguably the team MVP this season. Hopfe led the team in scoring average and rebounds per game and was the most dominant player on the court for the Panthers. Photo by Paul Magnuson

Wrestlers pick up victories at state tournament Senior Tommy Hancock won a first round match; Garrick Arias won a consolation match By Danny Summers

dsummers@colorado communitymedia.com Woodland Park senior Tommy Hancock was the lone Woodland Park High School wrestler to win a first-round match at the state tournament last week at the Pepsi Center in Denver. Hancock, wrestling at 120 pounds, won his first-round match on Feb. 19, defeating Pueblo East’s Antonio Trujillo with a pin three minutes, 36 second into the match. On Feb. 20, the slender Hancock lost to Niwot sophomore Tommy Stager, 8-1, in the quarterfinals to fall into the consolation bracket. Hancock lost his first match there to Cheyenne Mountain freshman Mike McFadden, 5-3, thus ending his season at the prestigious event. Hancock, who also qualified for the state tournament as a junior, was joined at the Pepsi Center by teammates Garrick Arias and Jesse Weatherill. Arias, a junior, lost his first-round match to freshman Andrew Lucero of Pueblo East, 17-0. Arias came back on Feb. 20 and pinned Pueblo South freshman Andrew Martinez in a consolation bracket match. Arias then faced Discovery Canyon freshman Jaden Porreco, but lost 16-5. Weatherill, a senior, lost both of his matches. He fell to Pueblo South’s Seth Ortega, 10-2, on Feb. 19, and then lost his

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF FEB. 23, 2015

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) There could be some negative reaction to your tough stance when making a recent decision. But overall, your efforts result in wellearned recognition and all that can follow from that. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Your financial situation seems confusing, even for the fiscally savvy Bovine. Maybe it’s the conflicting advice you’re getting. Check it out before things get too tangled to unknot. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) A relaxed attitude goes a long way in helping you deal with any of life’s irritants that might be popping up this week. You’re also a reassuring role model for others in the same situation.

GALLERY OF GAMES

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Your aspect favors creativity, which should persuade you to work on your artistic projects. If time is a problem, prioritize your commitments so that your work isn’t compromised. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Scrutinize all the job offers that interest you. Most are honest and worth considering. But a few might not be completely forthcoming about what the job is and what the salary and benefits are. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) An unexpected snafu could delay the completion of a project you’re eager to finish. Find out what’s causing it, fix it, and if you need help, don’t be shy about asking for it. Good luck. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) An idea that could be helpful to you comes from an unlikely source. Listen to it. Discuss it. If necessary, adjust it. If it looks as if it might work out quite well, go ahead and use it. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Be careful about allowing someone to share a very personal secret with you. This could cause problems down the line with others who are involved in that person’s private life. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) A cooling down of a relationship could be the result of neglect, unintended or not. To save it from icing over, you need to warm it up with a large dose of hot Sagittarius passion. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) This is a good time to get involved with a number of family matters that involve money and other issues that might jeopardize the closeness between and among family members. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Cheer up. That difficult person who appears to be deliberately stalling your project might just need to be reassured of the value she or he brings to it. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Good news! Expect to feel re-energized now that you’ve gone through that stressful energy-depleting period involving a lot of changes. Now, go out there and show them what you can do. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a warm, giving nature that inspires many to follow your example. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

What Every Knee Arthritis Sufferer Should Know About This Often Successful Medical Treatment The Advanced Medical Treatment Every Knee Arthritis Sufferer Needs To Know - Before Thinking About Knee Replacement Surgery

El Paso County - If you suffer with knee arthritis pain, you have probably already tried many treatments... especially countless pain medications. Experienced doctors understand that, even though pain medications such as anti-inflammatory pain pills are part of the recommended early treatment plan for knee arthritis pain...they are rarely the answer. In most cases they have minimal results (if any) and have a laundry list of potential side effects. Some being serious and even life threatening. Are There Any Better Options? Thankfully, advancements in science and technology come extremely fast. And now there is a very good option for knee arthritis to help relieve the pain. An option that a lot of knee arthritis sufferers have never heard of... and even worse... have not been properly informed about. Before we get into the actual treatment, please understand this... Osteo Relief Institute is a real medical clinic that has treated thousands of knee arthritis sufferers. Patients travel from all over the country to be treated at their clinic because they want the best medical treatments available. What you are about to discover is a REAL medical treatment. Not a miracle cure you see on infomercials or on the internet. Know this fact: There is no cure for arthritis. But there is this treatment that... when performed correctly and with the proper technology... has already helped thousands

of knee arthritis sufferers possibly just like you. Even if you have heard of this treatment - or even tried it without good results - please read this. You will find out why it may not have worked for you and how you may be able to get much better results. What is This Treatment? This treatment is called viscosupplementation. And it has gained quite a bit of popularity in recent years and it has gotten mixed results for a couple of reasons. But before we get into that, here’s what you need to know about viscosupplementation. When you have arthritis, you suffer a decrease in the cushioning and lubricating fluids in your knee. In other words, your knee joint basically “dries up.” The lubricating fluid that decreases is called “synovial fluid.” Pharmaceutical companies (with the help of scientists) can now make natural synovial fluid gellike compounds that, during viscosupplementation treatments...doctors can precisely introduce directly into the knee and other joints. This helps replace the lubricating fluid to the knee joint - allowing it to move more freely and smoothly and often decreasing or even eliminating the pain. What Results Can Be Expected? Like all medical treatments, the results vary and can not be predicted. But many knee arthritis sufferers get dramatic results. It is not uncommon for patients to either postpone knee replacement surgery for years... or even permanently cancel it.

But There Is A BIG Problem The key is the treatment must be EXTREMELY PRECISE. If the injection is slightly off, the medication will not get into the knee joint and the treatment will not work. That’s why the experts at Osteo Relief Institute use advanced digital imaging so they can see the medicine going directly into the knee joint during the treatment. Research shows that doctors performing joint injections without imaging miss the joint as much as 30% of the time. If you have tried viscosupplementation without this special digital imaging without good results - this may be why. That’s why Osteo Relief Institute takes it even one step further. They do not just use one step process of advanced imaging during treatment - they use two in their “double confirmation” process. This is to ensure patients get the best possible results. Another Important Factor Viscosupplementation medications also come in several different brands and chemical make-ups. Just like all medications, some people respond better to some than others. While many doctors only use one brand, the experts at Osteo Relief Institute use several and great effort is taken to figure out what the best one for YOU is. One last thing: The experts at Osteo Relief Institute have found that the earlier you start Viscosupplementation the better. This is most likely because the longer you wait - the more joint destruction takes place. That’s why Osteo Relief

Advanced Imaging Allows Doctors To Pin-Point Treatments And Relieve Knee Arthritis Pain

Science rescues knee arthritis sufferers? Research shows joint injections done without advanced imaging misses the joint about 30% of the time. Now doctors can put lubricating fluid directly into the arthritic joint that may alleviate pain and restore function to many.

is now seeing so many patients as young as 45. Summary: If you have knee arthritis pain and have not tried Viscosupplementation, you should look into it as soon as possible. If you have tried it without good results, you may still be able to get great results with the proper imaging and specific medication Who Should Try This Treatment? Not everyone is a candidate for this treatment. But if you are, there is a good chance you may relieve some... or possibly all of your pain. You are a potential candidate for this treatment if you have knee pain and have not gotten good results from antiinflammatory medication or other common arthritis treatments. Especially if you have already tried viscosupplementation without good results. The best way to tell if you are a good candidate for this treatment is to be screened by one of

the doctors at Colorado Springs, CO. What To Do Next If You Are In Pain: Your Invitation Osteo Relief Institute offers a limited number of complimentary knee arthritis treatment screenings every month. These screenings are a way for knee arthritis sufferers to get some of their questions answered and see if they are a candidate for this treatment. If you would like a complimentary screening, just call 719-323-6612 and tell the scheduling specialist who answers the phone, “I would like a complimentary knee arthritis screening.” The screenings fill up fast every month. If you do not call in time to get one this month, the specialist will schedule you for next month. This screening is no cost and no obligation. This treatment is covered by many insurance plans and Medicare.
