4 now vie for mayor’s seat By Pat Hill

phill@colorado communitymedia.com The Woodland Park City Council will choose the next temporary mayor of Woodland Park in a special public meeting Aug. 12. To date, the residents who have submitted applications are Phil Mella, former city councilman; Neil Levy, past president of the Greater Woodland Park Chamber of Commerce; and Gary Brovetto, current city councilman who was defeated in April by Dave Turley for the office of mayor. Gretchen Bundy-Ladowicz, a U.S. Naval Officer with NORAD, submitted paperwork Friday. Turley resigned as mayor several weeks after being arrested on suspicion of sexual assault on a child by a person of trust.

The people of Victor have responded to a cry for help from Barbara McMillan who was feeling a sense of despair over the potential loss of the Western Federation of Miners Union Hall. “I’m emotionally wrecked,” she said, three days after fire blamed on a lighting strike tore through the historic building July 26. Yet within days of the fire, a group of residents known as the Bucket Brigade kicked off a benefit series that included a street party Aug. 2 and an address for a crowdfunding campaign at crowdrise. com/victormuh. “We just want Barbara to know we’re wrapped around her, that she has community support,” said Becky Parham, coordinator of Victor’s Main Street Program. “I can only imagine what it must feel like to think you’ve lost that building.” While Parham isn’t sure if the funding streams will raise enough to help McMillan recoup her investment on the uninsured building, it’s a start. And for the city of Victor, which is recognized statewide for its turnof-the-century architecture, the building is a vital part of the street scene. “We don’t want to see an empty shell or something damaged downtown,” Parham said. “But we want Barbara to know that we will do everything we can to help.” For the Colorado Historical Society, the hall is a critical piece of

not only Victor’s but the nation’s history, as it relates to the labor movement in America. Two days after the fire McMillan met with an engineer and an architect from the historical society. “Everybody is hopeful; it’s very important to save the building,” she said. “The engineer has a plan to shore up the building, to save the walls.” McMillan has applied for a grant from the historical society to stabilize the façade. “You just have to go through the channels,” she said. “I don’t have any more money; it’s kinda scary.” The Southern Teller County Focus Group is leading the campaign to help McMillan. Last week, the Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Co. offered its support to save the hall, which was built in 1899.

Ornate brick work characterized the building built more than a century ago after another big fire.

Unwelcome daylight characterizes the view from outside in, now in a rear window.

The city of Woodland Park has been accepted as a candidate into the Colorado Main Street Program. The program provides resources, training and technical services in economic restructuring, historic

preservation, organization and promotion. Woodland Park’s application was led by the Main Street Committee, whose chair person is Vera Egbert and vice-chair, Gary Crane. “We’re excited about being accepted into the program, particularly as it relates to other Main Street Communities’ candidates,”

said Brian Fleer, executive director of Economic and Downtown Development. “The hard work, including the community support during the community assessment, helped drive the successful designation. We will continue to build on our experience with the Main Street Program as an outreach to local businesses, as we

leverage the historical and cultural aspects as the basis for economic development.” The program is sponsored by the Colorado Department of Local Affairs. Along with Woodland Park, the city of Buena Vista was accepted as a candidate. It takes about 2-4 years to become a fully-designated Main Street community.

WP Council de-bundles bond question Voters could be asked to approve Aquatic Center funding By Norma Engelberg Contributing writer

Woodland Park City Council had a special meeting on July 30 to hash-out details for funding three proposed city construction projects, the Woodland Park Aquatic Center, a Memorial Park upgrade and a new fleet maintenance facility. As recent as a month ago, City Manager David Buttery was working toward putting a bond question on the November ballot that would bundle the funding for these three projects. Since then he said he realized there were easier ways to get the funding for the park and maintenance facility without raising taxes or asking voters to approve a complicated bond question that also would not raise taxes. His suggestions called for funding the park upgrade and maintenance facility through a certificate of participation and asking voters to approve a bond question for the aquatic center. Buttery explained that certificates of participation borrow against collateral and that bonds borrow against city revenue streams. In the past, the city used a certificate of participation to fund the construction of the Public Works Facility and the Police Operations Center. As collateral, these two facilities would provide up to $3.55 million for construction of the two new projects. In addition, because the new certificate of participation would have substantially lower interest than the earlier certificate, the city would save $140,000 a year in interest over the next five years by rolling the older certificate into the new 20-year certificate. “I’ve tried to take a very conservative approach,” Buttery said. “I have deliberately underestimated expected revenue streams and overestimated projected city expenses to make sure the city has enough

Photo by Norma Engelberg money in its budget to pay off the COPs and any bond the voters approve.” The estimated annual payment for the two projects will be $366,418, with 77.42 percent of the money coming from the city’s general fund, 14.29 percent coming out of the 410 street fund, 4.7 percent coming from the 510 water fund and 3.6 percent coming out of the 520 wastewater fund. Because the aquatic center is much more costly, coming in at an estimated $10.1 million (not including interest) for land purchase; designing, constructing and equipping the facility; and designing and creating the associated infrastructure, Buttery said he thought it made more sense to ask citizens to approve a 20-year bond. In the past, members of the Woodland Aquatic Project Board have estimated that the aquatic center will cost $7 million to

build and that still holds true but there is more to constructing an aquatic center than just the building itself, Buttery said. “For many years, Woodland Park residents have said they want an aquatic center,” Buttery said. “There is an emotional component to this that wasn’t there for the other two projects. We need to ask the citizens if this how they want the city to spend their taxes.” He reiterated that the kind of bonds the city will be asking citizens to approve will not raise taxes. Both the bond payment and the COP payment can be covered by projected city revenues. “We have to be disciplined to keep costs down,” Buttery said, adding that every amenity added to the aquatic center design will come with a cost. “If you want another water fountain get someone to donate one.” Because it will take a while for the aquatic center to open and start generating revenue, if the bond question passes,

the plan calls for making an interest-only payment of $196,950 in 2015, and an interest-only payment of $393,900 in 2016. In 2017 and thereafter, the annual payment was estimated at $815,621. “There are some scary numbers involved with this bond question,” acting Mayor Carrol Harvey said. Other council members agreed and told members of the aquatic project board that they would have a steep road ahead of them educating the public to approve the needed funding. “If they don’t approve the funding, this all goes away,” said Councilmember Bob Carlsen, who is the council liaison to the aquatic project board. The council approved Buttery’s suggestions unanimously, allowing the city’s bond counsel to create the bond-question language in time to bring it to the Aug. 7 council meeting as an ordinance on initial posting. The public hearing would take place on Aug. 21.

NEWS IN A HURRY Is it open or closed?

With the recent torrential rainstorms it’s a full-time job to figure out if U.S. 24 is open or closed. After the four-hour closing from 3 to 7 p.m. July 19 and the subsequent hours-long traffic jam, drivers are wary when the skies open up. For instance, the week of July 28 the rains came every day and the highway closed periodically. Because the final word on closings and openings comes from the Colorado Department of Transportation, the Teller County Sheriff’s Office is encouraging drivers to sign up for email notifications on their cell phones. They will then receive emergency alerts about highway closures, openings and other emergency information. The Nixle alert system can be accessed at: http:// www.nixle.com or from the sheriff’s office page at: co.teller.co.us. There is a Nixle icon at the bottom of the front page.

Patrick Cummins, purchasing manager for the public works department, is among Teller County’s longest employees. After 30 years of service to Teller County, Cummins was honored recently by the commissioners.

With the move this month of Teller County’s Woodland Park offices from Manor Court to the Tamarac Business Center, Cummins is charged with overseeing the furniture aspect of the move, which includes deciding which to keep and which to donate. The county offices resumed business hours Aug. 4.

Neighbors on the look-out By Pat Hill

phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com As Woodland Park grows and the number of subdivisions increases, creeping crime comes along with the economic infusion provided by new residents. Out in front of the trend are the residents of Forest Edge/Country Ridge Estates who have initiated the Neighborhood Security Network. “The Forest Edge neighborhood is probably a higher-crime area for us in Woodland Park,” said Officer Brian Martinez. “We’re had multiple burglaries, thefts and drugs in that area.” Martinez initiated the security group through a social-media contact, nextdoor. com. “It’s a quiet town but it’s slowly getting larger,” he said. “We’re trying to form the group to prevent future problems in our neighborhoods.” Forest Edge has a split personality. “We have our trouble spots there and then a block away it’s a real nice neighborhood,” Martinez said. Beginning with Forest Edge neighbors, Martinez hopes to get the ball rolling for other subdivisions to begin a security pro-

gram. “It’s not for us to take charge, it’s for us to work together with the community, for the true meaning of community policing,” Martinez said. The program is not intended to signal a crime wave in the city. “There is not a lot of crime in Woodland Park but we’re trying to keep it that way,” Martinez said. “But we are seeing more drugs, thefts and burglaries, most of them coming out of Colorado Springs and up to our community.” Cord Prettyman is among the neighbors in on the initial push for a security program. “As a resident of Country Ridge Estates, I’m very grateful for the time and effort that Officers Brian Martinez and Andrew Leibbrand are putting into establishing a watch program for the Forest Edge/Country Ridge Estates community,” he said. “At a recent organizational meeting at the Woodland Park Police Department, several neighborhood residents reported home break-in attempts and suspicious activity in our area, so there’s obviously a need for such a program.” For information about the program, call Martinez at the police department at 6879262 or email to bmartinez@city-woodlandpark.org.

VA overhaul garners overwhelming support Move comes on heels of series of revelations By Vic Vela vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Congress last week passed a bill aimed at reforming the Department of Veterans Affairs, an agency that has been the subject of intense scrutiny over a number of departmental failures. The $16 billion legislation would provide money for new VA medical facilities and the hiring of more doctors and nurses. The bill would also allow veterans to see doctors outside the VA system if they are unsuccessful in obtaining an appointment. A congressional conference committee

worked to merge efforts by the Senate and the House of Representatives and came up with a compromise bill that passed the Senate on July 31 with overwhelming bipartisan support. It passed the House the day before. “I think veterans are going to be better served now and the VA is going to be a better organization by veterans being able to vote with their feet if they’re not getting adequate care,” said Rep. Mike Coffman of Aurora, a Republican and veteran who serves on the House Veterans Affairs Committee. The bill is a response to several alarming departmental failures that came to light in recent months. A federal audit shows that more than 57,000 veterans have waited at least three months to see a doctor, while others who asked for appointments never received

one. Some veterans died while waiting months for an appointment. Other findings have shown that VA employees — whose bonuses are tied to wait time reductions — falsified reports to hide information about long wait times. The scandal led to the resignation of department director Eric Shinseki in May. The Senate on July 29 confirmed Robert McDonald as the department’s new secretary. The bill would require that the agency send veterans to private health providers when the department is unable to provide care within 14 days. The legislation would also ban bonuses for VA employees and puts in place greater oversight over the department’s operations. Democratic Rep. Ed Perlmutter of Golden said he is particularly happy about be-

ing able to provide funding for more doctors and nurses, which he hopes will put an end to extraordinary wait times for appointments. “I think this is going to benefit our veterans in both the short term and long term,” Perlmutter said. Members of Congress hope the legislation is the beginning of the end to an embarrassing ordeal. “Our veterans have made incredible sacrifices and we owe it to them to fulfill the promises we have made,” said Republican Rep. Cory Gardner of Yuma. “What’s happened at the VA over the last several years has been shameful and unbecoming of the type of respect and the oath we have made, the solemn obligation we have made to our vets.”

Congress leaves town as border crisis drags on Legislation is DOA; races spark breaks with party By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Facing a humanitarian crisis along the U.S.-Mexico border, Congress responded last week with go-nowhere legislation that left the issue unresolved as members headed home for the summer recess. And — proving just how dicey immigration politics are for elected officials — two Colorado Republicans who face tight races for separate offices this fall bucked their party by voting against a GOP-sponsored measure to halt an Obama administration program that shields young undocumented immigrants from deportation. Reps. Cory Gardner of Yuma and Mike Coffman of Aurora voted against a bill that sought to end a program called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. The 2012 executive order that was put in place by President Obama protects immigrant children who grew up in the United States from being deported. Gardner and Coffman were among 11 Republicans who voted against the DACA bill. Four Democrats voted in favor of the measure. That bill and a separate border funding measure passed the House of Representatives late Aug. 1. But neither bill will become law. The Democrat-controlled Senate — which failed to pass its own border funding bill — had already adjourned prior to the House voting on the measures, but the bills would not have passed that chamber anyway. After the bills passed the House, the president scolded Republicans for passing “extreme” and “unworkable” measures

that do nothing to address the thousands of children who have migrated from Central America to the Texas border. “That means while they’re out on vacation, I’m going to have to make some tough choices to meet the challenge, with or without Congress,” Obama said during a White House press conference. The president had asked Congress for $3.7 billion in emergency funding to increase border security and hire more immigration court judges to deal with the crisis. Since last year, tens of thousands of immigrants have fled Central American countries to the U.S. border to escape gang violence and poverty in their homelands. House Republicans instead passed a $659 million emergency funding package that would have provided some of the money needed for the Border Patrol, the National Guard and more judges. However, the bill also included changes to a 2008 anti-trafficking law that would have sped up the deportation of immigrant children. The bill came a day after House Republicans pulled a vote on an earlier version of their funding package that failed to attract support from Tea Party conservatives. Democrats blasted Republicans over the border measures. Rep. Ed Perlmutter of Golden called the original bill “a poor piece of legislation” that wouldn’t have done anything to crack down on organized crime that is causing the immigration crisis to being with. “I think it’s a microcosm of the Republicans’ inability to get anything done of significance in this Congress,” Perlmutter said. But it was the vote to upend DACA that caused a political stir in Colorado. Gardner is running to unseat Democratic Sen. Mark Udall while Coffman is fighting off a chal-

lenge from former state House Speaker Andrew Romanoff for his 6th Congressional District seat. Colorado’s growing percentage of Latino voters will play a key role in November, as indicated by Coffman’s and Gardner’s no votes on the DACA legislation.

‘Middle path’ sought Coffman said in an interview prior to the votes that the DACA bill was “challenging” for him and that he had not yet made up his mind on how he was planning to vote. “I think that there should be a middle path on this, but we shouldn’t have open borders, and I think the situation we have right now on the border is just unsustainable to this country,” Coffman said. Coffman later explained his no vote on the DACA bill through an emailed statement. “Kids who grew up here, know of no other country, and were brought here through no fault of their own, deserve our compassion and an opportunity to earn a path to citizenship,” he said. Romanoff spokeswoman Denise Baron issued a statement that mockingly thanked Coffman for casting what Romanoff believes is the proper vote. “It’s a shame that it took a strong opponent and a tough election to get the congressman to reverse his votes for the moment and suspend his attack on DACA,” Baron said. Gardner also said prior to the bills being brought for a vote that he wasn’t sure how he would end up voting, saying he had yet to see the “final details of the language.” Gardner ended up voting against the DACA measure, a move that drew a quick

reaction from the Udall campaign, who implied that Gardner wouldn’t have voted the same way had he not been running for Senate. “While this may seem like a sudden about-face, Coloradans know that Congressman Gardner is only trying to hide from his true agenda and that the only thing that has changed are Gardner’s ambitions,” Kristin Lynch, a Udall spokeswoman, said through an emailed statement. The immediate border crisis aside, Congress has gone yet another period without passing anything close to comprehensive immigration reform. And, with Latinos expected to make up about 12 percent of the electorate this fall, Democrats will surely use the issue to their advantage in trying to paint the GOP as a party that refuses to do anything about this issue. But Gardner said election-year politics isn’t what matters when it comes to the issue of immigration reform. “I don’t think you can look at it through the eyes of elections,” Gardner said. “I think you have to look at it through the eyes of what’s happening. We have a broken immigration system that needs to be fixed, regardless of any election.” “When things don’t get fixed, I don’t care who the voter is, they’re going to carry that out on anyone who is in charge.” But Perlmutter said Gardner’s party is being run by the wrong people and said he hopes that Republicans will pay the price come November. “You have the real ideological purists who don’t like immigrants and don’t like immigration, who don’t think there is any role of government in just about anything ...” Perlmutter said. “Right now the purists and the ideologues are running the show.”

Vote for lawsuit spurs another partisan split GOP claim against Obama has Democrats shaking heads By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Colorado congressional Republicans insist that last week’s vote to sue President Obama was a necessary response to “overreach” on the part of his administration. But their Democratic counterparts slammed Republicans for taking time just before leaving Washington for the summer recess to hold a purely partisan vote to sue the president rather than address issues that actually matter to Americans. “What they’re doing certainly doesn’t do anything to help the middle class of America,” said Democratic Rep. Ed Perlmutter. The Republican-led

House voted 225-201 to approve a resolution to authorize House Speaker John Boehner to sue Obama on claims that the president has abused his power and has ignored the Constitution. No Democrats voted for the lawsuit and five Republicans also voted no. Republicans claim that Obama has overreached on a number of areas where he has taken executive action. But the lawsuit focuses specifically on the president’s decision to delay key provisions of the Affordable Care Act. Republicans are unhappy that the president did not consult with Congress prior to taking action to delay the requirement that businesses provide health coverage to their employees. Democrats find it funny that the lawsuit focuses on a provision delay of Obamacare — a health care law that Republicans didn’t want to see implemented to begin with.

Republican Rep. Cory Gardner said he voted for the lawsuit because “we have an obligation to uphold the Constitution and the Constitution requires a separation of powers.” “The president has stepped across this line and has engaged in unilateral lawmaking,” Gardner said. “He’s weakened the legislative branch and strengthened the executive branch at the expense of the legislative branch.” Republican Rep. Mike Coffman said that if Democrats valued the preservation of constitutional separation of powers, they should have joined Republicans in voting for the lawsuit. “It absolutely should have been bipartisan because I think that anybody serving the Congress ought to be concerned about executive overreach, whether it’s a Republican in the White House or a Democrat in the White House,” Coffman said. “I think that

we are co-equal branches of government and anybody serving in the Congress ought to be interested in preserving the power of the institution.” But the public doesn’t seem to agree. Although Obama’s approval ratings continue to be anemic, results from a recent CNN/ ORC International poll show that respondents oppose the lawsuit by a 57-41 percent ratio. Coffman said he doesn’t concern himself with the possibility that voters might respond adversely to Republican efforts to sue the president. “I only focus on what I’m doing,” he said. “I don’t focus on the Republican Party. I don’t focus on Washington, D.C. I focus on what the voters in the district focus on.” But Perlmutter said if that’s the case, then why aren’t Republicans focusing on passing legislation that matters to the public? “That’s what they’re

spending their time on,” Perlmutter said of the lawsuit. “Instead of getting things done for Americans across the country, they’re suing the president and

they can’t get done immigration reform, infrastructure, education, retirement security ... stuff that’s important that doesn’t get done.”

Colorado Torpedo like an alligator with talons The last of the native wolves disappeared from Colorado in the 1940s. No Grizzly Bears were seen here from 1952 until 1979, when a hunting guide unexpectedly killed one in self-defense in the San Juan range in southwestern Colorado. Wolverines -- maybe they are here and maybe not. But what is the lot of the Torpedo? Luke Tierney, one of the 13 members of the Russell prospecting party that remained in the gold diggings on banks of the Platte in 1858 (before the Pikes Peak Gold Rush and ‘59ers of the following summer) wrote about the Torpedo in his journal. The book, with help from promoters like D.C. Oakes, Steven W. Smith and others paved the way for the Rush that populated early Colorado. “… Near a rivulet called Bijou creek … was a pond, about thirty feet in diameter, densely thronged with a singular fish known as the Torpedo. It is of grayish color, has four feet like an alligator, four talons or fingers on the two forefeet, and five on the hinder ones, with one continued fin from tip to tip. Its bite is said to be incurable,” wrote Tierney in the “History of the Gold Discoveries on the South Platte,” published in 1859. “Bijou” was the nickname of Joseph Bissonette, who was Stephen H. Long’s guide in 1820,” according to historian James McTighe. “Cherry Creek heads about eight

miles east of Monument. Exit 161, and ten miles beyond that lies the head of West Bijou Creek.” In his 1984 book, “Roadside History of Colorado,” McTighe speculates, “The Torpedo most likely is the prairie cousin of the Loch Ness monster.” Though he does allow, “The creature may not be imaginary. Colorado wildlife official Robin Knox indicates that a mutant form of the Tiger salamander, known as the axolotl, seems to fit Tierney’s somewhat lurid description. Found in ponds thoughout the region, the axolotl is usually eight to twelve inches in length, but like the salamander, is nonvenomous.” According to the Columbia Encyclopedia, the axolotl is a salamander, Siredon mexicanum, found in certain lakes in the region of Mexico City, which reaches reproductive maturity without losing its larval characteristics. “This phenomenon is called neoteny;

in salamanders it is apparently caused by certain environmental conditions, particularly a low level of iodine in the water, which affect the functioning of the thyroid gland. Axolotls are permanently aquatic, never undergoing the metamorphosis to a terrestrial form characteristic of amphibians. They grow larger than ordinary larval salamanders and develop sexually, but they retain external gills and a well-developed tail,”according to Columbia. In captivity, the mutant salamander can live as long as 25 years and is fully capable of limb regrowth. The axolotl was not recognized as a salamander until 1865, when several specimens at the Jardin des Plantes in Paris suddenly underwent metamorphosis. After some experimentation it was discovered that when their pools were dried up most of the animals changed into the adult form. Axolotls will also mature normally if fed thyroid gland extract. “The related North American tiger salamander, Abystoma tigrinum, often exhibits neoteny in the Rocky Mountains, where the iodine content of the water is low. The axolotl has a broad head and bushy gills; its skin is a black-speckled dark brown. It may grow as long as 13 in. (33 cm), ” says Columbia. In certain area of Mexico axolotls are considered delicacy when roasted.

Lamarr Houston stood out like a man among boys when he was at Doherty The first prep football games of the 2014 season begin in a little over two weeks. That’s when a few teams from around the state are allowed to play what is commonly referred to as “Zero Week” games. Most of them will take place Aug. 22. Locally, The Classical Academy plays at Delta in a 7 p.m. start on the 22nd. That means the Titans will have a Week 9 bye week heading into their regular season finale against Pueblo Central. “We think that will be an ideal situation for us,” said TCA athletic director Gary Geiger. “Teams are usually a little banged up at that point of the season and it will give us as chance to get healed up.” The prep football season, in my opinion, is the most exciting time of the year. That’s when we hear about blue chip prospects and the possible college choices of those players who are talented enough to play at the next level. It is generally in the junior year of a player’s career when he is heavily recruited by Division I colleges. Such was the case of former Doherty star running

back/middle linebacker Lamarr Houston. I was working for The Gazette a decade ago and was basically assigned to cover every Doherty game - home and away. Houston was a junior on the 2004 Spartans’ teams that featured star senior running back Shaun DeWitty. Doherty was coached by Mike Sirko. DeWitty rushed for 2,225 yards and scored 39 touchdowns in 2004 as Doherty played a tough Class 5A schedule. DeWitty eventually committed to play for Division I Arizona State. I remember being at his signing party in February 2005. Houston was there as well. It was a media circus since DeWitty

was one of the most highly recruited players to come out of the Springs in recent years. But many of the media that day - including me - gravitated toward Houston. As great as DeWitty was for that 2004 Doherty team, it was obvious that Houston was the guy who would likely have the best chance to end up playing on Sunday afternoons. “We’ll see him playing on Sunday’s,” then Palmer coach Rod Baker told me. Baker knew, like every other coach who saw Houston play as a junior, that there was something special in his talent, style and size. He was 6-feet-2 and easily 255 pounds as a junior. He was faster than just anybody on the field and when he hit an opposing player you could hear it in the press box. I am serious. Very rarely in my career covering high school football games have I consistently heard that sound coming from the impact of one player on another. Houston was an absolute stud his senior year. He was a prep all-American Summers continues on Page 9

Improve everything with regular exercise The headline in the August issue of the Harvard Health Letter spoke to me like a message from above. “Is exercise really medicine?” the article queried. As research study after research study pours in, the answer is affirmative. “Yes, I do think of it as medicine and, even better, it’s medicine that’s free and has very few side effects,” says Dr. I-Min Lee, a Harvard Medical School professor who specializes in the role of physical activity in preventing disease and promoting well-being. Experts are now contending that regular exercise can reduce your risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, a variety of cancers, depression and falling. It can also improve the quality of your sleep, your overall endurance and even improve your sex life. A new research study published in the February issue of the British Medical Journal has found that in the case of some diseases, exercise can be more effective than certain medications. The study looked at the impact of medication versus exercise

in 340,000 patients who had suffered from a heart attack or stroke in preventing a second incident. In the case of stroke, physical activity was found to be more successful than some drugs in preventing death and equally as effective as certain drugs in keeping those who had had a cardiac incident from suffering a second. The researchers also examined patients at risk for developing diabetes concluding that exercise was as effective as medication in preventing early death. An April, 2014 study in the British Journal of Sports Medicine claims that

regular aerobic exercise can boost the size of the hippocampus … the area of the brain associated with verbal memory and learning. From improving heart function, to regulating blood sugar levels and cholesterol, to reducing knee and hip arthritic pain to improving cognitive function the list of the benefits from exercise is impressive. Researchers are now asking … Is physical activity an effective treatment for disease processes without being coupled with pharmaceutical drugs? And if not, does it make medications more effective? “We don’t know that yet,” says Dr. Lee. “But physical activity should be regarded as a first-line therapy, together with pharmaceutical treatments.” So, how much exercise dosage is enough to elicit health benefits? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that children aged 6 to 17 years-old do 60 minutes of physical activity every day. Be sure to include muscle strengthening activities,

such as gymnastics or push-ups, at least 3 days per week as part of your child’s 60 minutes. And adults aged 18 and older should participate in 2 hours and 30 minutes of moderate intensity cardiovascular exercise every week or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobics. The CDC also recommends two or more days a week of muscle-strengthening activities that work all the major muscle groups. If you’ve been sedentary or under a doctor’s care, consult with your primary physician prior to starting an exercise routine. The benefits of exercise are front-end loaded with a moderate effort reaping the majority of health and wellness rewards.

Places you’ve probably never heard of in these parts I have a big map of Colorado from 1895. On it are the locations of towns most of you have never heard of. Even today when developers come in they only rarely use an established name for an area. Back then, Colorado was booming, and a few places used old names, but most were new. Around Black Forest are a dozen little spots like Bijou Basin. Most are now replaced by more modern names. Around here we have more, like Pemberton, or Ox Yoke you may not have heard of. You might know about West Creek, but did you know it was once the gold camp called Pemberton? Here are some that may be familiar as road names around Colorado Springs, and

how they got the name. Drennan, near the Colorado Springs airport, was a community just southeast of where the airport is. It was also called Douglas. It started about 1900 around a one-room school. A larger school was built in 1916. Not far away was Gleneath, which gave up and combines with Drennan in 1916.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor: I write to amplify a point made in the front page article from the July 30 Pikes Peak Courier about Sheriff Ensminger’s lack of experience. Among the credentials, Ensminger claims is a bachelor’s degree in organizational management and human resources from Colorado Christian University. But, his administration has been plagued by mismanagement, especially in the area of human resources. During Sheriff Ensminger’s administration, 96 people have left or been fired in an agency that only has 80 employees – that’s a turnover of more than 100 percent. That exodus speaks volumes about employees’ morale, motivation, and opinions about whether the Teller County Sheriff’s office is a good place to work. The cost of this extreme turnover rate exceeds $1,750,000, which has to be paid through taxation.

Summers Continued from Page 8

and finished his career with 3,325 yards rushing and 49 touchdowns. But it wasn’t his running abilities that attracted college recruiters. It was his ability to dominate on defense and force teams to go away from his side. Houston signed with Texas A&M and was converted to a defensive end in college, where he shined as a true freshman. He played for the Aggies in the 2010 BCS Championship game against Alabama. It came as no surprise when Houston was selected by the Oakland Raiders in the second round (44th pick overall) of the 2010 NFL draft. Houston (who reached a max of 6-3, 305 pounds last year) never missed a game in four seasons with the Raiders. Last season, Houston totaled a careerhigh six quarterback sacks, adding 16 quarterback hits and 41 quarterback hurries for his trouble. Despite starting the offseason with more than $60 million in salary cap space, the Raiders decided to let Houston test the free agent market. On March 11 of this year, Houston

Woodman is more than a road name. It is names for the Woodman Sanitarium, which was at the foot of the mountains at the top of Woodman Valley. The founders would not believe that the road east to Falcon is four lanes and paved today. Even Falcon and Peyton only go back to the 1890s as railroad towns. Truckton, or Dunkin City, started as a farming town. Now it is where a few live to escape the problems of the “big city.” The little spot called Wigwam was an oil boom town. Yes, we had oil wells near here for a while in the 1920s. Wigwam was mainly a spot on the railroad, but it was there, as a ranch and stage stop, before the building of the rails. The oil did not last long. Even Calhan had an

oil boom for a while. How about Franceville or McFerran? Both were in a coal mining region south of Falcon. They mined coal there until about 30 years ago. A former mayor of old Colorado City, Matt France, started the mines and the town. Not far away was Jimmy Camp, which was mainly a trading stop well before any town was built in this area. It was mainly the home of Jimmy, and his last name is subject of some discussion. In fact, there may have been more than one Jimmy. He kept a few supplies, and even traded with the Indians, until some raiders killed him. Oh there are a lot of little strange places like this.

WHAT'S HAPPENING THIS WEEK?

During Sheriff Ensminger’s tenure, the county – again, that means all of us as taxpayers – paid out more than $200,000 to settle sexual discrimination cases and a violation of the wage and hour rules of the Fair Labor Standards Act. In addition, there have also been two high-profile lawsuits brought against the Sheriff’s office for excessive force and false arrest/imprisonment. The price taxpayers will bear in those cases has yet to be determined. The Bauman case involved a botched Sheriff’s office SWAT unit raid. This raid was executed without a proper warrant under the guise of a “wellness check.” A report by an independent law enforcement expert with 52 years of experience concluded that the actions of the

Letter continues on Page 10

agreed to a five-year deal with the Chicago Bears worth $35 million; $15 million of which is guaranteed. Houston won’t play that old tackle/ end role in Chicago, nor will he line up with his hand off the ground outside the tackle as he did in 2013 with the Raiders. The Bears’ staff sees him as the logical replacement to Julius Peppers, who bailed for Green Bay in the offseason. Houston worked hard this offseason and, at last check, was down to 268 pounds, and over the last four years, he’d dropped his body fat from 15 to 8 percent. Over the years, the Colorado Springs area has produced about two dozen NFL players. But few have had as successful high school, college and pro career as Houston. By the way, another player I covered in high school was Fountain-Fort Carson’s Phil Loadholt. He has been a starting offensive tackle for the Minnesota Vikings since his rookie season in 2009. But I will save his story for another day. With all due respect to all of the prep football players who will suit up this fall, it is unlikely that there is another Lamarr Houston out there. He is one of a kind for this area and should see even better days ahead with what should be an improved Bears’ team this season.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Continued from Page 9

sheriff’s officers that lead to beating and arresting someone not suspected of any crime was due, in large part, to poor training and supervision. All these lawsuits were brought against the sheriff who claims special education/ experience in human resources. Ensminger claims that such lawsuits are the norm for law enforcement. His view appears to be that it’s OK to engage in wage and hour violations and sexual discrimination. That’s unacceptable. In contrast to Ensminger’s management, there were no sexual discrimination cases in the previous sheriff’s administration, and none brought against Teller County, which employs more than 200 people. No successful sexual discrimination cases were brought against casinos in Teller County, which employ hundreds of people and operates in an adult entertainment environment where one would expect such claims. What is Ensminger doing differently? In addition, to address chronic staff shortages in the jail, human resources expert Sheriff Ensminger fills the void with unpaid Sheriff’s Posse volunteers who are not certified to serve as law enforcement officers or trained to deal with jail issues. Per the American Correctional Association, the situation in the Teller County jail represents a “dereliction of duty, irresponsible as well as an extreme betrayal of public trust.” The ACA also states that the Teller County Sheriff is “willfully and knowingly putting the safety of innocent civilians, not to mention the inmate population at significant risk.”

Clearly, Ensminger’s claim that he has a special education in human resources reflects a management style that Teller County cannot afford to retain! Teller County can change this by voting for me in November. I would appreciate your support and encourage voters to learn more about me and these issues by visiting my website, mark4change.com Thank you, Mark Manriquez. Unaffiliated Candidate, Teller County Sheriff Former GMF trustee comments on the intergovernmental agreement signed July 29 by El Paso County and the city of Colorado Springs. The agreement would establish a Pikes Peak Regional Drainage Authority. Dear Editor: I am certain that the board of trustees in Green Mountain Falls will vote to join. This means that they will sign on to be part of this agreement, and that as written, it will move to a vote of the people in November. Here is what I find troubling about this IGA: • The IGA approves a fee to be levied on every private and public entity in the IGAdesignated area. This means that, if your area buys in, everyone pays. So you’ll be getting a new fee tacked onto your homeowner’s tax bill that averages $10 a month. Doesn’t sound bad, right? Until you consider that the clever writing of this IGA means all your schools and governments also have to pay the fee. So the taxes that you pay to your local school district will now be filtered to this new committee. Our schools, which most would agree

are already underfunded, will now have to give some of their money — our tax money — to stormwater. And how do the school districts and local governments make up for their new budget shortfall? They will have to ask for more tax money. Or they will have to make more cuts. How do the schools feel about this? Local governments will have to pay in. I know in Green Mountain Falls the budget is already very tight. What will be cut in order to pay this new fee? El Paso County will have to pay in — will they vote to raise taxes to make up their new budget shortfall? Or what will be removed from their current standing budget? • The IGA does not include eastern El Paso County. The representative of this IGA, Dave Munger, stated they didn’t need to be included because: “Eastern El Paso County is flat. It doesn’t flood out there.” I think after this past couple of weeks the residents of Ellicott and Hanover would disagree. It does indeed flood “out there.” • The IGA is written so that the committee can condemn properties as they deem necessary. To whom does a homeowner of a condemned property appeal? Can they take your home “for the greater good?” Does it seem right that a panel of experts, chosen by the committee, recommend that private property be condemned and taken away from private citizens? • One of the Green Mountain Falls residents stated, “Colorado Springs has made a mess of stormwater monies for years. Do we really want them to have the majority vote on this committee?” Good point. • Palmer Lake & Green Mountain Falls must share a representative, but Munger stated, “Palmer Lake hardly participates. Green Mountain Falls could have the sole

vote.” That seems like an odd gamble, and not very fair to either small town. I think the government entities involved see money dangling in front of their faces, and in light of our recent storms it does seem enticing. But considering all decisions will be handled by the IGA’s “team of experts” and voted on by the new bureaucracy — the IGA Committee — this new money really won’t be readily available on a local level. Something does need to be done about stormwater and drainage. But not this IGA. Not how it is currently written. Please take it back to the drawing board. Sincerely, Jane Newberry Green Mountain Falls’ resident Dear Editor: We are retired snowbirds who winter in Tucson, and on Saturday night we attended “A Midsummer Night’s Western” at Woodland Park High School. The play was performed by the Jr. Woodland Players, a very enthusiastic group of Teller County youth ranging in age from 8-18. We were absolutely amazed at the set design, elaborate costumes and most importantly the energetic and very talented performers. In March we had minor roles in Gilbert and Sullivan’s “Pirates of Penzance,” and it took us three months of very hard work to get our production to the point that it was presentable to the public. To think that the producer, director and all those involved with the youth’s play were able to accomplish such a feat in only five weeks is truly remarkable. This play is fantastic and so much fun to watch that we hope that you will all go see it! Fran and Karl Winckel

Holloway closes Seven Arrows By Pat Hill

phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com Passionate about promoting arts and culture in Woodland Park, Ralph Holloway has been a leader, an organizer, trail-blazer and energizer. So the announcement that he is closing Seven Arrows, the city’s only art gallery, signals another pathway for Holloway — and for the city. “Ralph’s gallery is a wonderful asset to our town, as is Ralph,” said Jan Cummer, who owns Curves and Vintage Vines. “Ralph is a team player and I will miss having him several doors away every day.” Founder of third Friday Art Walk, the Woodland Park Arts Alliance and scholarship program, the Public Art Benches as well as the Columbine Art Walk, Holloway’s influence is far-reaching. “We’re sorry to see Seven Arrows leave downtown Woodland Park. It has been so great to have them there all these years,” said Brian Fleer, executive director of Economic and Downtown Development. “Ralph Holloway has made and will continue to make tremendous contributions to our community.” While closing the gallery Holloway is directing his energy toward helping the city achieve designation as a Creative Arts District.

The scene is familiar to customers at Seven Arrows Gallery, Ralph Holloway checking on the latest in the arts scene around the nation. Holloway closed the gallery July 31, after six years of attracting customers from around the region. “I have very strong mixed emotions about this gallery closing but I feel confident that the creative arts district is going to move forward,” he said. “It’s not about an individual; it is about a group of people working together, along with the city, the businesses and Main Street (Initiative) to strengthen the economy.” But after six years, Holloway is ready to hang it up, hand over the reins of the arts alliance to the new board of directors. “To have a creative arts district is going to require a working board — and they’ve committed to that,” he said. “I kind of worked myself out of being chairman.”

Seven Arrows Gallery provided a peaceful interlude for people to come and browse at the variety of art. The gallery was a main stopping point on the 3rd Friday Art Walk, initiated by the gallery’s owner Ralph Holloway, who closed the business last week. Photos by Pat Hill But working himself out of his role as a leader might be a Herculean task. “My name’s been associated, unfortunately, with this, and I’m getting tired of hearing my own name; I really am,” he said. “It’s time for the community to understand that this is a dedicated group of individuals who truly want to see something happen.” Whether or not the city achieves certification as an arts district, the gallery’s closing is nonetheless a strike against the monthly art walk. “Art walks will continue and there are some things, hopefully, in the making that will be coming down the road, in several months, but we’re not deserting all of this,” he said, referring to Darlene Holloway, his wife and business partner. “The reality is, we’re closing the gallery.” Gary Brovetto, city councilman and advocate for the designation, commented in an email from Europe. “I’m sad to see Seven Arrows go,” he said. “It is a wonderful gallery featuring many leading artists in the community. The gallery was a major part of third Friday Art Walk. The gallery will be missed; best wishes for Ralph Holloway.” Up the street from the gallery, Deb Nichols, who owns Cowbells and the Deersnake Gallery, finds a positive. “Ralph has been a driving force for the arts,” she said. “The good news is that he will continue to be that. His steadfast passion isn’t going to stop.” For his part, Holloway acknowledges the role the gallery played in the arts community. “I’ve been extremely blessed with the caliber of artist we’ve had in the gallery,” he said. Holloway’s discerning eye attracted viewers from around the Pikes Peak Region. “Ralph’s passion for his art gallery will be missed by the city. But how fortunate we are that he will devote his efforts toward continu-

Yet several factors influenced the decision to close. “When the economy tanked, people drew back; the fire (Waldo Canyon in 2012) obviously had an impact and the floods,” he said. “And I understand, but all of these have just had a major economic impact on the gallery.” Could it be that Holloway offers a hint? “But we’re going to do something and hopefully our job is to bring creative entrepreneurs to this city who will live and work here,” he said. “I’m not leaving the arts alliance, not leaving the creative arts district board.”

Bronc Day marches on By Pat Hill

phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com Tradition reigned in Green Mountain Falls Aug. 2, as residents and friends took their usual places along Ute Pass Avenue, to watch the parade and take pleasure in the fact that some things don’t change. Distinguished by entrants that range from horses and vintage cars to youngsters on bicycles and dancers from the Mountain Eire Irish Dance School, the parade must include the Grand Marshals, this year’s, Martha and Kevin Henry. As he has for years, former mayor and trustee Dick Bratton served as the master of ceremonies.

Martha and Kevin Henry, Grand Marshals of the 76th annual Bronc Day parade in Green Mountain Falls, get a double dose of star power for a day, as the parade marchers turn around at the four-way stop and comes back around.

The Foothills Animal Shelter held a petriotic special for its furry friends on July 4 with a $4 offer to adopt a homeless pet. A total of 90 cats, kittens, dogs, puppies and critters were adopted in three hours, a happy outcome for staff at the shelter. Foothills is one of 50 animal shelters that was picked in the U.S. to take part in the ASPCA Rachel Ray $100K Challenge, a contest for shelters to break their own records for saving the lives of animals throughout the months of June, July and August. Each competing shelter has to save more dogs, cats, puppies and kittens than they did during the three months in 2013, the web site reads. The contest runs to August 31.

Mahoney: Park State’s foreclosure expert By Pat Hill

phill@colorado communitymedia.com As the effects of the Great Recession rippled through Teller County in 2007 and 2008, Park State Bank & Trust gained a portfolio of foreclosures, particularly in the commercial sector. “My job is to evaluate the foreclosures, suggest remedies if they need fixing and then market those properties,” said Chuck Mahoney, the bank’s asset

manager. As the economy gradually improves, Mahoney is chalking off the foreclosed properties, which include homes as well as businesses. “The current inventory of residential properties is being absorbed, which actually helps the overall housing values in Teller County,” he said. As a result of the recent sales, it’s less expensive per square foot to buy rather than build a home, he said. For potential buyers of foreclosed properties, Mahoney’s services include

research on deeds and easements, facility evaluations and estimates of the cost of remodels or structural repairs, for instance. “I can evaluate whether or not it would be a good buy,” Mahoney said. “My services are an overall riskmanagement approach for the bank and potential customers so they can make intelligent decisions.” In Victor, the bank owns the Monarch building, which was once an art gallery. Built in 1899, the Monarch is one of two buildings of the original five left on the bank’s books in Victor. “I had structural-and electrical-system evaluations done by engineers to know whether or not the building was sound and what would be required to bring the systems up to code,” he said. “From there, I can assign a cost or value so that potential buyers understand that part of it.” For the bank’s clients, Mahoney, who has 30 years of experience in the construction industry in Teller County, is a resource for existing business owners. “We can put together an

Once the work begins, the organization has 60 days to complete the requirements stipulated by the Colorado Department of Transportation.

Included in the preliminary work is burying the underground power lines on the east side of the highway. The Ute Pass Saddle Club is a nonprofTay Jeffords it organization that holds the real estate and the financial assets of the organization. “We have $2 million in the bank,” Jeffords said. “We want to keep using the interest from that to build what we can pay for.” With its pay-as-you-go plan to

complete the project, the financing depends on the sale of the club’s 23 acres of land east of Woodland Park, Jeffords. The property in Divide is 40 acres, 22 acquired from Pete Kuyper and 40 from Bob Maytag. “It’s been eight years,’ Jeffords said “We’ve been very patient and the members have been very patient — a lot of people are excited to see this in Teller County.” To date, the club is up to 105 memberships The Purgatory Valley company is doing the highway work.

The 2014 Lake George Gem and Mineral Show will be held Aug. 14-17 from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. across from the Lake George Community Park at the field next to the Lake George Post Office is on U.S. Highway 24.

After several years indoors the Relay for Life of Teller County moved outdoors and changed it hours, hoping to avoid bad weather but the weather wasn’t in a cooperative mood. Local cancer survivors came for the Survivors Luncheon, participated in the opening ceremony at noon and then walked the Survivors Lap at 12:30 p.m. on July 26. About 30 minutes later a storm moved in with gusty winds that knocked over and broke canopies and torrential rains that drenched everybody who had gathered at the Woodland Park High School track field. Most of the participants went home to dry out but some came back and a few stayed and were entertained by Tay Jeffords, president of the Ute Pass Saddle Club but wearing his DJ hat, who kept the music coming. There were also performances by students from Cornerstreet Dance and Dana’s Dance. With another storm on its way, the Luminaria Ceremony, which traditionally takes place at 9 p.m. was moved up to 7 p.m. Gene Kozleski read the more than 100 names of family members, friends and neighbors who have either lost their battle with cancer or who are still fighting. This year’s Teller County Relay goal was to raise $40,000 for the American Cancer Society to use funding research, advocacy and local outreach programs. Because of the shortened program, only about half that amount was raised but Relay for Life Specialist Mary Catherine Sharp said donations can be taken until Aug. 31 at main.acsevents.org.

Florissant Heritage Day sees many visitors to the historic town By N. W. Oliver

Contributing writer On July 27, the town of Florissant welcomed visitors to celebrate with them the rich history of the area. The event opened with a free pancake breakfast at the Florissant Fire House at 7 a.m. Volunteers reported a good turnout, many local businesses contributing items to the silent auction, and an impressive volunteer force. The fire department had businesses from Woodland Park, Cripple Creek, Divide, Florissant and Lake George donate items for the auction to raise money for equipment and operating costs. On average, the volunteers spent more than 50 hours preparing for it. The massive task of cooking pancakes, eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy for more than 400 people was accomplished by fewer than 20 volunteers. Costello’s Coffee House donates the coffee every year and most of the food was donated by a distributor in Colorado Springs. Festivities at the Florissant Grange No. 420 began at 9 a.m. where burgers, brats and hot dogs were served all day and vendors and crafters sold handmade crafts, precious rocks and raffle tickets. According to Event Coordinator for the Grange, Renee Caldwell, the turnout was good for the Grange on Heritage Day, although there were fewer than last year. Caldwell thanked the vendors, crafters, and volunteers, “without you we could not do this and we love you all and appreciate you all so much more than you will ever know,” she said. The main stage included musical acts

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Don’t be too upset if your generosity goes unappreciated. These things happen, and rather than brood over it, move on.

GALLERY OF GAMES

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) You are pretty much in charge of what you want to do this week. However, it might be a good idea to keep an open mind regarding suggestions from people you know you can trust. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Another chance to shine (something always dear to the Lion’s heart) might be resented by others. But you earned it, so enjoy it. The weekend brings news about a family member. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) A suggestion that never took off could become viable again. Dust it off, update it if necessary, and resubmit it. In your personal life, a new relationship takes an “interesting” turn. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Confronting a new challenge to your stated position could work to your advantage by settling all doubts once you’re able to present a solid defense backed up by equally solid facts. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) You enjoy doing nice things for others. But this is a good time to do something nice for yourself as well. You might want to start by planning a super-special getaway weekend. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Some changes you feel you need to make might be reasonable and appropriate. But others might lead to new problems. Think things through carefully before you act. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Good instincts usually keep the sure-footed Goat on the right path. So, what others might see as stubbornness on your part, in fact reflects your good sense of what is worth supporting. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A period of introspection could lead to some surprising conclusions -- and also equally surprising changes -- involving a number of your long-held positions on several issues. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) The financially practical Pisces might want to take a sensible approach to spending as well as investing. Being prudent now pays off later. A romantic situation moves into another phase. BORN THIS WEEK: Your sense of curiosity keeps you continually alert for what’s new about people, places and things. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

Pine sawfly, a native insect that defoliates Ponderosa pines, has rapidly reached epidemic levels locally.

Pine sawfly outbreak emerges in ponderosa pine forests Staff report Pine sawfly, a native insect that defoliates ponderosa pines, has rapidly reached epidemic levels south of Denver. First detected just a few weeks ago, the outbreak is believed to have started near the border of El Paso and Elbert counties, and has now been detected on the northeastern fringes of the Douglas County border. Residents in the area can expect to see heavy defoliation of impacted pine trees and large numbers of visible sawfly larvae in the trees themselves and on the ground beneath them. Because of the significant larvae popu-

lation, experts with the Colorado State Forest Service and USDA Forest Service are actively monitoring the outbreak. They believe that many of the larvae are depleting their food source and dropping to the ground early, before they mature, and are expected to die before they can pupate. Mature larvae, which hatch in spring and feed on living needles until late summer, soon will drop from trees to pupate in the upper soil layer of the forest floor. Meg Halford, assistant district forester for the CSFS Franktown District, says that sawfly activity has been common and cyclic in the area for years. However, this outbreak is exceptional, possibly because of an unusually large number of eggs depos-

ited on pine needles by adult sawflies last fall. What environmental factors may have accelerated this spike in the sawfly population is unknown. â€œThis is perhaps the largest outbreak seen in this area,â€? said Bill Ciesla, an entomologist with Forest Health Management International, who has worked closely with the CSFS to monitor the outbreak. Natural control agents, including virus diseases, parasitic wasps and other predators, can combat sawflies. Direct control measures, in the form of chemical insecticides, also are effective in spring when the eggs begin to hatch. However, the most effective time for direct control this year has passed. The only areas where chemi-

cals may be effective now are where trees are showing only partial defoliation and the risk of larvae developing into adults is high, Ciesla said. Halford says that measures will be taken to monitor sawfly egg deposits this fall. This will help determine the potential for additional damage in 2015, so that landowners can take appropriate measures to control them next spring. Aerial surveys also are being conducted to map visible defoliation and assess the extent of the area that has been impacted.

Life of Coach D celebrated By Pat Hill

phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com The third annual celebration of the life of the late Rich Dispenza, better known as “Coach D,” attracted 91 golfers July 26 at Shining Mountain Golf Club. A fundraiser for the college scholarship in the coach’s name, the tournament was a prelude to the awards ceremony and spaghetti lunch at the Woodland Park Middle School. This year’s winner of the $1,000 scholarship was Myrrhiah Perkins who plans to use the money to help offset the $10,000 annual cost of room and board at Point Loma Nazarene University. The first two winners were Louie Neil and Jacob Censner, both graduates of Woodland Park High School. Paula and Neil Levy initiated the event a year after the death of their friend, “Coach D,” on July 4, 2011. Revered for his dedication to young people, through coaching as well as at the Children’s ARK, Dispenza was one of Woodland Park’s colorful characters. For several years, he organized a job fair for teenagers at the ARK. Jedd Hafer, former director of development at the now-closed ARK, introduced the ceremony in the morning before the tournament. The Coach D Scholarship Foundation is a nonprofit organization. The annual celebration includes a character-building camp for youth.

Above, Students in the Re-2 School District enjoyed a spaghetti lunch July 26 at the Woodland Park Middle School. The lunch was part of the 3rd annual Coach D Make a Difference Day, a tribute to the late Rich Dispenza, who died suddenly July 4, 2011. Paula and Neil Levy have kept “Coach’s” memory alive with a scholarship program and a golf tournament. At left, Woodland Park High School graduates, from left, Louie Neil, Josh Stover and Jake Censner paid their respects to the late Rich Dispenza at the annual celebration July 26. Neil and Censner received the first two scholarships awarded in Dispenza’s memory. Photos by Pat Hill
