Lights of Love is a celebration of life By Pat Hill

phill@colorado communitymedia.com The names, hundreds of names read aloud in hushed voices, provide the solemn ambience for the annual Lights of Love event sponsored by Prospect Home Care & Hospice. A gathering of survivors who honor their loved ones with candles lit in unison, Lights of Love is a peaceful interlude. “We pause once a year to get together in a social environment,” said Mary Barrowman, Prospect’s president and chief executive officer. A place to grieve in the company of others yet a time to reflect in solitude, Lights of Love draws people, despite the cold evenings, to the Ute Pass Cultural Center. “But the reason people come is to hear the names of their loved ones. And that takes a lot of strength,” Barrowman said. “Some of them can’t come every year and some need to come every year and, even though there are tears in the room, it’s a chance to appreciate love.” Above all, Lights of Love is a

celebration. “It’s a time to think about how lucky we are to love and be loved, to embrace those minutes, to try and use it to live a better life,” Barrowman said. “It takes two hours out of our crazy busy holiday winter time to just think about your parents, your friends, sons and daughters who have passed before you. And having it together as a community just makes you feel good.” After the names are read and the music played, the people gather outside for the tree-lighting ceremony, returning inside for hot cider and snacks. “Prospect feels privileged to do this service,” Barrowman said. “We’re a tiny little organization devoted solely to the Teller County/Ute Pass area.” Lights of Love is a fundraiser for Prospect, which extends its services to people with Medicare, Medicaid or private insurance. “But we are serving a small population in the mountains so we still have a gap in 25 percent of our clients,” Barrowman said. “Some of that is charity care - we take people with no funding, no resources or insurance; we need a little extra just to continue to

to the community. ”When I’m in the Lights of Love event, I just know that Prospect couldn’t survive without people contributing, using our services, caring for us

Cripple Creek dedicates Bennett Avenue improvements $4.3 Million project completion officially marked with ribbon cutting By Rob Carrigan

rcarrigan@coloradocommunitymedia.com The sometimes problematic summer construction of Bennett Avenue in Cripple Creek was completed and capped off great fanfare and an official ribbon cutting ceremony Wednesday, Nov. 19. The $4.3 million project officially began with a groundbreaking on June 5. Road construction on Bennett Ave., the city’s main thoroughfare, was completed earlier this month.

According to Public Works Director Jim Blasing, for all intents and purposes construction and paving was completed in late October. And although the downtown construction has caused inconveniences for businesses, residents and visitors throughout this past summer, the final product from all of the growing pains will leave the city with attractive, navigable streets and sidewalks that are pedestrian and business friendly. Cripple Creek Mayor Bruce Brown, and other officials, cut the ribbon at an afternoon ceremony held on Bennett Avenue and witnessed by dozens of well-wishers, dignataries and project participants. A performance by The Butte Theatre actors, complementary freshly-based cookies and

“We are so excited to show off all the improvements we have made to our main street in Cripple Creek.” Brown said.

How to treat a family member with dementia this holiday season World-renowned expert shares 5 helpful tips By Kerry Mills, MPA

engagingalzheimers.com Whether it’s mom, dad, grandma or grandpa – or your spouse – the “holiday quarter” can present special challenges for families with a loved one suffering from dementia. “We have an expectation that loved ones should never change from the person we’ve perceived them to be for years, but everyone changes significantly over an extended period, especially those diagnosed with dementia,” says Kerry Mills, a sought-after expert in best care practices for people with dementia, which includes Alzheimer’s. November is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month. “Dementia encompasses a wide range of brain diseases, which means it’s not the fault of a Grandma if she has trouble remembering things or gets flustered. Empathy for what she’s experiencing on the level of the brain will help your relationship with her. Do not expect her to meet you halfway to your world; you have to enter her world.” Spouses have a particularly difficult

time coping with their partner’s dementia, Mills says. A spousal relationship is a team and is central to the identities of both people. So, while you’re paying special attention to a parent’s or grandparent’s condition, extend it to his or her spouse, she says. Families tend to have a hard time coping with a loved one’s dementia during holiday gatherings. Mills, coauthor with Jennifer A. Brush of “I Care, A Handbook for Care Partners of People with Dementia,” (engagingalzheimers.com), offers tips for how to interact with a loved one – say, Grandma – whose brain is deteriorating. • Do not get frustrated. “First, do no harm” – the excellent maxim taught to medical students, is also a great first principle for those interacting with Grandma, who may be experiencing a level of frustration and anxiety you cannot comprehend adequately. She simply doesn’t have access to certain details, but she is still a conscious and feeling person who has plenty to offer. If you get frustrated, she’ll pick up on it. • Dedicate someone to Grandma during the gathering. Of course, loving families will want to include Grandma in the group, but be careful not to overwhelm her with attention. Her brain, which has trouble processing some information, could use assistance – a liaison to help her pro-

cess things. Grandpa could probably use a break; her son or daughter may be the best handler during a gathering. • Give Grandma purpose; give her a task in the kitchen. Keep Grandma, who may’ve been prolific in the kitchen in the past, engaged! Simple tasks, such as mashing potatoes or stirring gravy, may be best. Engage her in conversation about the food. If it’s Grandpa whose suffering dementia, include him in a group. Give him a cigar if the other men are going outside to smoke. Engage him in a conversation about football, which may allow him on his own terms to recall details from the past. • Use visual imagery and do not ask yes-or-no questions. Again, asking someone with Alzheimer’s to remember a specific incident 23 years ago can be like asking someone confined to a wheelchair to run a 40-yard dash – it’s physically impossible. Don’t pigeonhole her. Direct Grandma in conversation; say things to her that may stimulate recollection, but don’t push a memory that may not be there. Pictures are often an excellent tool. • Safety is your biggest priority. Whether during a holiday gathering or in general, Grandma may commit herself to activities she shouldn’t be doing, such as driving. “She’s been driving for decades, and then she develops a memory problem, which not only prevents her from remem-

bering her condition, but also how to drive safely,” Mills says. “This major safety concern applies to any potentially dangerous aspect to life.” “Currently, there’s a stigma with the condition, but I’d like to change the baseline for how we regard dementia,” Mills says. “As with other medical conditions, Alzheimer’s should not be about waiting to die – patients often live 15 years or more after a diagnosis. It should be about living with it.” About Kerry Mills Kerry Mills, MPA, is an expert in best care practices for persons with dementia both in the home and in out-of-home health care residences and organizations. She is a consultant to numerous hospitals, assisted livings, hospice, home care agencies, senior day care centers and nursing homes. In her twelve-year career in health care, she has served as executive director and regional manager for numerous long-term dementia facilities.

Bennet, Udall differ on pipeline vote Outgoing senator opposes plan that some see as environmental threat By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Colorado’s two Democratic senators split votes on a failed effort in the U.S. Senate on Nov. 18 to move forward with construction of the controversial Keystone XL oil pipeline. Sixty votes were needed to pass the bill in order to prevent a filibuster. The bill fell short by a single vote, 59-41. Sen. Michael Bennet voted for the bill, while fellow Democratic Sen. Mark Udall voted no. The bill sought to expand construction of an existing pipeline that would ship crude oil from Canada to the Gulf Coast, cutting through six states. The pipeline would not run through Colorado. Supporters of the pipeline say there are very few risks associated with the project and argue that thousands of jobs would be created if President Obama moves forward with the effort. Obama is waiting for the State Department to conclude its review to determine whether the pipeline is in the best interest of the country. The agency is holding off on submitting its findings until the outcome of a Nebraska Supreme Court case is known, which could affect the pipeline’s route. Opponents cite environmental concerns associated with project. The extraction of crude oil from oil sands would pump greater amounts of greenhouse gases into

the air. Opponents also express concern over the potential impacts on underground water reserves, all for a project that would result in very few long-term jobs once the pipeline is completed, opponents argue. Bennet joined 13 other Democrats in voting for the bill, just hours after protesters gathered outside his Washington office to voice their opposition to the legislation. Bennet spokesman Adam Bozzi said through an emailed statement that although the senator voted for the bill, “He would prefer that instead of focusing our political debate on a narrow issue that we develop a broad and comprehensive energy strategy to reduce carbon pollution and support renewable energy.” The effort received bipartisan support in the Senate, but all the bill opponents were Democrats. They included Sen. Mark Udall. Udall had previously voted no on the bill in a Senate committee and wants to see the review process come to a completion before Congress takes action. “Sen. Udall’s position on the Keystone XL Pipeline has not changed,” Udall spokesman Mike Saccone said through an emailed statement. “He continues to believe Congress should not be injecting politics into the ongoing

review.” Area environmental groups hailed Democrats like Udall for thwarting the effort. “As a nation we need to rise to the challenge of reducing carbon pollution and not advance projects, like the Keystone XL pipeline, which will continue to add to the threat of climate change,” said Pete Maysmith, executive director for Conservation Colorado. But the bill’s defeat does not mark the end of the pipeline expansion effort. Republicans will control both the House and the Senate beginning in January and it is expected that the new majority will continue to pressure the president on the issue. And Udall will be among a handful of Democratic senators who will not be back next year to vote against the effort. Udall lost his re-election bid to current Congressman Cory Gardner, a Republican who calls the construction of the pipeline “long overdue.” “The result of tonight’s Senate vote is another example that some in Congress would rather play partisan political games instead of supporting a common sense project that would put thousands of Americans back to work,” Gardner said through an emailed statement.

Vandals correct, but probably confused, misguided

Building defaced at 1200 East Highway 24 By Rob Carrigan

rcarrigan@coloradocommunitymedia. com On Sept. 18, as a nation we celebrated the 227th anniversary of the signing of the United States Constitution. Most people often mistakenly refer to our nation as the greatest democracy on earth.They are mistaken because we are not an absolute democracy; we are a constitutional republic. The vandals, however misguided or confused, in this case were correct. But unfortunately were in direct contrast of American ideals framed by the American Constitution. Accurately defined, a democracy is a form of government in which the people decide policy matters directly--through town hall meetings or by voting on ballot initiatives and referendums. A republic, on the other hand, is a system in which the people choose representatives who, in turn, make policy decisions on their behalf. The Framers of the Constitution were altogether fearful of pure democracy. Everything they read and studied taught them that pure democracies “have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths,” as outlined in the Federalist Papers.

O U R S

Thank people when you can Ten years ago, shortly after attending this game, homecoming and giving thanks was on my mind. I stared at the photo of my buddies at the football game for the longest time without realizing what was wrong. Something was missing. Then, after tossing the photo on the scanner, the image software forced me to put a name to the puzzle. “Where’s Leavell?.jpg” the label now reads. In the photograph there is an empty seat in the front row on the right-hand side. A brain tumor killed our friend Lynn Leavell more than six years prior, but that didn’t stop him from leading us home. Lynn was our quarterback for the Dolores Bears in 1978 and ‘79. He later coached, taught and served as principal in Akron, Colo. In November, Dolores and Akron met leading up to the Colorado Single A football quarter finals. If played in Akron, the game would have been played on Lynn Leavell Field. But in Dolores that fall, Lynn reined in absentia over an important homecoming. When I showed up at the game in November, it was out of respect for Lynn’s memory and the circular coincidence surrounding a Dolores/Akron playoff game. Others, I think, showed too, for similar reasons. His cousin Scott Weinmaster, picked me up in Colorado Springs in a rental car after a flight to Denver from his home in Florida. We spent a lot of time talking about Lynn, on the way down to Dolores, and then with others when we arrived. To us he was not really a hero figure but just an above average cat. In examining the hole he left in our lives, we struggled for a better grip on understanding our own existence. In the words of our coach, Carl Rice, “Lynn’s talent was that he was cool under pressure and the most stoic youngster I have ever met.” He was a planner who usually had a laser beam focus. He set his goals early and often. As a result, he generally had a pretty good success ratio, and a facade of at least appearing calm. His public persona was of one of a man way beyond his years. It was

as if he knew his ticket was punched for the matinee only. Lynn was also an assistant coach in Akron under Rice. Carl Rice later lived, coached and served as principal back in Akron, after Lynn’s death. “He was like a son. I was and am proud of him. His flaws, like all of ours, are better left to the wind,” says Rice. “We each have a responsibility to teach honor within the confines of our own life.” “He was his own worst enemy because he acted like he needed nothing but he needed support so much he felt guilty. You guys think he was different than you. I don’t see him that way. He just didn’t ask as much.” But as usual, in that November, we were asking a lot from Lynn and his memory.

Dolores football and seeing old friends was one thing. But personally, I hoped for connection. The kind of connection to a group where you can finish each other’s stories — even if you haven’t seen other members of the group in more than 20 years. As we settled into old familiar roles, I found some of that connection. At one point, in an argument with Weinmaster and James Biard about what to make of Lynn’s death, I asked for peace. I think they both misunderstood me. I wanted peace, not in the sense that he was gone, and I needed to accept it. But peace in what his abscence represented. With Lynn’s abscence—without him being in the picture anymore— two lessons were driven home with the force and violence of helmet-on-helmet, head-on tackling drills. First, that life is short and you need to make the most of it. Thank people when you can. And related to that, we would never again be 17-years-old with plans to live forever. We would never again be connected by the same passion and change. I, for one, find no peace in that. The empty seat in photo still brings me great saddness.

Gregg winning in and out of trenches If you are a fan of the 1960s Green Bay Packers football teams you might be interested to know that a few of the players have homes in the Pikes Peak region. The list includes Hall of Famers Forrest Gregg and Willie Davis (both take up residence in the Broadmoor area) and Don Horn, the Packers’ first-round draft choice in 1967 (he lives in North Gate). While all three have wonderful stories to share from their days playing under legendary coach Vince Lombardi, Gregg might be the most interesting of the bunch. From his home in Stone Manor Heights above The Broadmoor, Gregg seems a lifetime removed from the Frozen Tundra of Lambeau Field. The former offensive lineman gained fame there in the 1960s while playing for the most storied franchise in National Football League history. With his help, the Packers won the first two Super Bowls and five NFL titles with Lombardi at the helm. “That was a unique time,” said Gregg, who turned 81 on Oct. 18. “It was a much simpler time. The whole attitude toward the game was different.” Gregg moved to Colorado Springs from Dallas 12 years ago with his wife, Barbara, of 54 years. They enjoy the beauty of their surroundings. “We have the mountains on one side and the city on the other,” said Gregg, who was stationed at Fort Carson in 195758. “We really enjoy it here. We like the weather and the traffic is not that bad.”

In 2009, Gregg wrote a book describing his journey in football. It is called Winning In The Trenches: A Lifetime of Football. The book is co-authored with Andrew O’Toole. The 320-page hardback is loaded with black and white photos. It is a fascinating book and I am proud to say that I own a copy. Winning In The Trenches is a unique glimpse of a bygone era in professional football from Gregg’s perspective. With candor, insight, and love for the game, he takes readers through his professional playing career that began in 1956 with the Packers and ended - 188 consecutive games later - with the Dallas Cowboys in 1971. The last game he played in was Dallas’ 24-3 victory over Miami in Super Bowl VI. Gregg was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1977. Colorful stories of the Lombardi years show how the famed coach turned the dismal Packers into the most dominant team in the sport, despite playing in the toughest division in football. Later chapters chronicle Gregg’s coaching career,

including his four tumultuous years as the Packers’ head coach in the 1980s. Gregg also coached the Bengals to their first Super Bowl appearance (1981 season). After its release Gregg went on a rigorous tour to promote the book. But his active lifestyle was altered a few years ago when he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s. “It seems like everywhere I go I run into Packers fans - even around here in Colorado Springs,” Gregg said. Gregg has not allowed Parkinson’s to rule his life. He has teamed up with “More than Motion” on Facebook to further tell his story. Through a series of videos, he hopes to show people how they can combat the brain disease without a cure. If you go to the Facebook site you will see Gregg’s friendly mug and a link to a story written on him. By staying active, Gregg’s been able to prevent his Parkinson’s from worsening. That’s the message he’s trying to spread. He believes that such activities as walking the trails of a park near his home he has slowed the symptoms. Gregg’s reputation as a player was sterling and his stature as a gentleman is without question. He is one of a handful of people to have played and coached in a Super Bowl. “I don’t know as many people in the NFL as I once did,” Gregg said. “But I still follow the game very closely.” If you get the chance please visit “More Than Motion” to learn more about Parkinson’s and Gregg.

Keep public notices truly public Originally published in The Aspen Times When government is adopting new zoning regulations, reviewing applications for retail marijuana licenses or inviting dialogue and discussion about any number of the myriad powers it may exercise, it is required by Colorado law to notify the public. Since statehood, Colorado’s public has relied on local newspapers to publish such notices. Colorado Counties Inc., the association of county commissioners, has voted to pursue state legislation to allow counties to post their legal notices on individual county websites instead of in community newspapers. Similar legislation was defeated in 2013. In 2014, the Colorado Press Association won approval of legislation to create www.public noticecolorado.com, a free, searchable, digital compilation of public notices published in Colorado newspapers. It provides 24/7 access to statewide notices about foreclosures, hearings, advertisements for bids, financial reports, ordinances and other government activities required to be published. This is a public service that takes advantage of modern technology. It provides an archive of notices - proof for the government agencies that they provided legally

OUR VIEW required notice. (It already is required that newspapers provide third-party verification.) It’s unreasonable to expect the public to keep track of governmental activities in a decentralized state such as Colorado, which has 1,800 government entities - counties, municipalities, school boards, irrigation districts, fire districts and more agencies, boards and commissions - that must notify the public of planned actions. We want independent publication to help prevent cozy contract deals or simple mistakes by careless bureaucrats. We also know the costs of legal advertising. The counties’ proposal could end up costing money as counties examine the personnel and equipment they might need to post and maintain legals in a way that satisfies people who read legals; professionals who use them in their business and, in many cases, older residents who have long scoured legal notices to be aware of their

government’s plans. The counties association proposal - on which Pitkin County has not taken a position - would not apply to any other government bodies, an odd proposition that’s hard to justify. Why should counties notify the public any differently than the rest of government? The proposal also is a step backward. It doesn’t feel right to do away with third-party verification, a permanent print and digital archive and distribution platforms known to Coloradans for more than 100 years. We have a much more modern system in place now that better serves the public. We question whether it makes sense to ask government to control the very business it is required to share with the public. If a government website crashes during the period of time that a citizen is looking for a particular liquor hearing, who will be responsible for helping that citizen to attend a meeting designed to encourage dialogue? How will that citizen get the information she needs before it’s too late? And how will the impact be measured if local voices aren’t heard on topics of community interest? Worse, who is responsible when a notice is published to the Web with a mistake? Do we

ask the government to supervise the government? That’s an unreasonable request regardless of the organization. Even if we made the assumption - which we won’t do - that government would flawlessly execute public notices, the data tells us that transparency will be reduced if notices move from newspapers and newspaper sites to government websites. For example, in September, Pitkin County’s website, which is a shared site with the city of Aspen, had 29,671 users and 97,156 page views. The Aspen Times had 139,903 users and 932,872 page views that same month. It simply makes sense to continue with the modern practice in place: a digital approach that grew from a practice of publishing such notices in newspapers that is as old as the state of Colorado. We’d be remiss if we didn’t address the 800-pound gorilla in the room. Some newspapers get paid to publish legal notices. Paid publications are paid according to rates established by state statute and unchanged since 1993. Public-notice advertising rates are the lowest ad rates that newspapers offer and the costs amount to less than 1 percent of county budgets.

Tips for surviving holiday eating binge Here we go again. We sit poised on the official opening of the “Creeping Obesity” season. The average American puts on four to seven pounds during the six week period between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day, then spends the rest of the year trying to take the weight off, often unsuccessfully. It is possible to enjoy the season’s festivities and its treats with little or no damage to your waistline. Here are some Holiday Eating Survival Strategies. Rather than wait until January 1st to begin your exercise program, start today. The combination of an aerobic and weight-lifting program not only will help keep your calorie equation in balance, it will provide you with an outlet for stress during what can be a very stressful time. Increase your intake of water throughout the day. Water is an essential nutrient and drinking cold water serves as a mild appetite suppressant that burns calories. Try grazing throughout the day on lowcalorie foods such as fruits and vegetables. This will give you a few more calories and fat grams to play with during evening festivities. Focus on weight maintenance, not weight loss during the holidays. This is

not the time to start a diet. Plan on NOT dieting after the New Year. Anticipation of food restriction sets you up for binging over the holiday by rationalizing that after January 1st, “You’re never going to eat again.” When entertaining at home, serve white-meat turkey, which has both less calories and fat than dark meat. Put your gravy through a skimmer before serving and you’ll cut the calories by 80 percent. Make sure to serve as least one item low in calories and fat, such as a fresh fruit salad or steamed vegetables topped with lemon juice and herbs. Serve your dessert offering topped with non-fat frozen yogurt. Choose your beverages wisely. Alcohol is high in calories. Liquors, sweet wines and sweet mixed drinks contain anywhere

Mail by aircraft In the 1920s the use of airplanes to speed delivery of mail was a big thing. One of the things that brought one of the most famous mail pilots to the attention of the world was this service. If you have ever seen the old movie about Charles Lindbergh’s flight across the Atlantic, you may remember that he was a mail pilot. He even flew routes in this area. I have done a couple of these columns about landing strips that were around here. Colorado Springs actually had several airstrips that were used by mail planes. They did not have what we now know as the Colorado Springs airport until the 1930s. The postal service helped secure that location. In the 1920s they were looking for locations for delivery of mail by their airplanes. This brought the building of larger, better and more reliable landing fields. In addition to the regularly used air strips, they were also starting to develop emergency fields. In emergencies pilots tried to land safely in open fields, but in many places that was not always possible. There are records in Palmer Lake that show that the highway was used by pilots as an emergency landing strip in bad weather. Even Lindbergh landed there and spent the night at the hotel! The post office helped establish a landing strip 10 miles south of Denver, near Castle Rock, near Larkspur, Greenland and other more recognizable

locations. Denver, Colorado Springs and Pueblo had full service landing facilities. The lights of communities along the way also assisted in guiding the mail flights. A couple other areas were being looked at for strips, mainly for emergency use. One of these was near Pring, which now days is near where Baptist Road and Interstate 25 meet. The W.C. Higby ranch had a good long stretch of flat land not far off the Denver road. The second was at the Stelson Ranch, just north of the El Paso-Pueblo county line near Wigwam. Plans to run a power line for a beacon, from Fountain was also in the plan. I do not know how many of you are familiar with Pueblo, but their first airport was nowhere near the present one. The originally used airport was in the southwest part of town, only a short distance from the fair grounds. I lived in Pueblo in the 1960s and a couple of the old buildings, including the terminal, were still standing. Then Lindbergh became famous for his transatlantic flight.

from 150 to 400 calories per glass. Undoubtedly, the greatest challenge comes in the dreaded Holiday party circuit, where you have no control of the caloric cost of the food. You can, however, exercise control over how much damage you do by adhering to the following advice. Eat a small nutritious meal prior to leaving for the party and you’ll be much less likely to arrive at the party famished. Wear a snug belt and refuse to loosen it one iota. Volunteer to be the designated driver, avoid salty or hot foods that start an eatdrink-eat cycle, peruse the buffet before picking up a small plate and only select the three or four foods you really want.

Sit down to eat and top off your meal with a cup of coffee or tea so you can feel you’re partaking in the dessert course without adding the additional calories. Do yourself a favor this holiday season. Take control of, instead of being controlled by the “Holiday Feeding Frenzy.” Maybe, you won’t have to lie down on the bed to get into your favorite jeans on January 1st.

Exchange students thrive in WP By Pat Hill

phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com Some foreign-exchange students in Woodland Park think Americans are uptight while others dig the teenage life, the easier courses and the freedom to participate in extra-curricular activities. And for some host families, the difference in study habits is glaring. “Rika was up every night studying until midnight or 1:30 a.m., so now I make her go to bed at 9:30,” said Leonard Arias, speaking of Rika Sasaki, 15, who is from Tokyo, Japan, and attends Woodland Park High School. On the other hand, the people in Sasaki’s country are probably not uptight. “The Japanese culture is very therapeutic; a lot of the homes will have a garden where they can sit and meditate,” said Arias, who, with his family, spent 10 years in Japan with the U.S. military. Arias and his wife, who have four boys, enjoy having a girl in the house. “She can experience our lifestyle,” he said. Like the Arias family, Jennifer and Mark Manriquez expect their exchange students to fit right in. “We don’t treat them any different than we treat our kids,” said Mark Manriquez. This year, the Manriquez family hosts Patxi Colet-Juiz from Spain. “It’s pretty exciting to give young people the opportunity to come here. It’s interesting why they come,” he said. “Patxi wanted to play football - he played for Joe Roskam, so he was able to live that dream.” For Colet-Juiz, life is pretty good here in Woodland Park, with only a few glitches. “I miss the beach and my soccer (professional) team in Barcelona,” he said. Intrigued by South Korean culture, Christine and Justin Lukasavige traveled to Seoul, with their three young daughters, to pick up their house guest, Songhyoen “Lucy” Park. “We got to meet most of her family, which eased my mind,” Christine Lu-

kasavige said. “It was such a good experience - for my kids to see where she is from and to see the difference.” Granted, life with a teenager is demanding, especially with one who is in the high-school marching band along with other activities. “The best part is that we live close to the school, so dropping her off and picking her up is not as hard as I thought,” Lukasavige said. “It’s a pleasure.” With the exchange students in the classroom, discussions include comparisons and differences. “They talk about the common stuff, like whether pot is legal or why Germans start drinking early. Aside from getting the curiosity dealt with, once you get past the Nazi question, you talk about why these kids are so different in their perspectives,” said Andrew Pappadakis, who teaches social studies and coaches girls soccer. “They wonder why we’re so uptight - it’s a recurring theme. They say we have so many rules, so many warnings, what’s the hang up?” For kids in Woodland Park, the exchange program is a foray into curiosity. “We’re in an insular kind of community here - so just getting outside this community is big enough but going out into the world is a different story,” Pappadakis said. WHY DO THEY COME HERE? Foreign-exchange students have various motives for traveling abroad. “For me, it’s seeing American teen life in the movies,” said David Rutzen, from Bremen, Germany. “It’s kind of a stupid reason but it’s so fascinating. I pretty much knew that the people in America would be more open than the people in Europe are.” However, for Rutzen, traveling to America is language immersion with bonuses. “I wanted to speak better English, open my mind and see the world, go adventuring,” he said. For Torje Rolfsen, from small town in Norway, the decision was easy. “Why not? I had never heard of Colorado before I knew I was going here,” he said.

Homework did the trick for Park. “I was kind of tired of going to school; all we do is study,” she said. FOOD IS A BIGGIE There are definite differences in the food category among the students. When it comes to food, the Arias family is accommodating. “Rika loves lettuce - it’s unbelievable.” Arias said. “Lettuce, lettuce and more lettuce; no dressing.” Nearly all of the students mentioned the free refills in America. “In Europe, soda costs several dollars, so Patxi couldn’t believe that we have free refills here,” Manriquez said, adding that Europeans notice the large portions served in American restaurants. American teenagers’ appetite for soft drinks is legendary. “They can’t believe we drink so much coke (Coca Cola) and we get refills for free,” Pappadakis said. “At certain places they’ll actually refill them for you.” While Rutzen enjoys fast food, it took a while. “Fast food here is so cheap,” he said. “But the food here is heavy, too fatty.” Speaking of food, Angie Cunningham, who teaches cooking at the high school, takes advantage of the various cultures represented by her students. Next month, the students share their recipes for holiday foods. WHAT ABOUT THE PARENTS BACK HOME? Simon Aagren of Sweden: “I think our parents have faith in us; otherwise, they wouldn’t let us go. They pretty much know we will do fine. But I miss my brother, he’s like my best friend,” he said. “We do everything together.” THE FUTURE Torje Rolfsen: “I’m almost certain that after I finish high school in Norway, I’m coming back here to the U.S. to go to college,” he said. Simon Aagren: “There’s a difference in colleges. I think I’m going to stay in Sweden because we have free colleges, so it’s easier there,” he said.

David Rutzen: “After I finish high school, I want to travel a lot but I wouldn’t want to live permanently in the U.S. If I want to study here it would cost so much money,” he said. “I just like the system better in Germany, the social system. No one gets left behind.” Songhyoen Park: “I’m kind of thinking of staying here, moving to the United States, graduate and then go to college,” she said. Max Enger, a senior who lives in Woodland Park, enjoys the students. “Their academic rigor is different from ours; it’s much harder for them,” Enger said. “They know multiple languages where the average American only knows one, maybe two. Exchange students are such a pleasure to have in school.” LOCAL EXCHANGE COORDINATOR Gary Brovetto is the local International Exchange Coordinator for the Education First High School Exchange Year. His students this year are Aagren and Rutzen. “It’s probably one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had in my life, helps me understand their culture and provides the opportunity to understand America,” he said. “Over there, we don’t have such a good reputation; they get distorted views of what a typical American is.” Like the others, Brovetto is putting miles on his car. Rutzen, for instance, practices gymnastics three days a week at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. Aagren plays soccer and is going out for track and field at the high school. “At the end of the school year I take them on a road trip to Los Angeles,” he said. The problems are few when it comes to hosting the exchange students. “They may have a little bit of homesickness but we try to get in sports and other activities,” said Mark Martin, a school counselor. “The main thing is helping them find happiness and success while they’re here for nine months.”

Trustees inaugurate town hall By Pat Hill

phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com The first official meeting in the new town hall in Green Mountain Falls was noteworthy only in the absence of hard news the evening of Nov. 18. After only a half-hour, the board closed the public meeting to go into executive session, at the request of town clerk Mary Duval. There was no resolution to the nail-biter about the feeding of wildlife, i.e., ducks and geese, as the decision on the ordinance was delayed once again. This time around, trustee David Cook was given the go-ahead to form a committee to take another look at the ordinance that prohibits feeding the wildlife. The feeding issue exploded when Ann Pinell was issued a ticket and a $50 fine by Police Chief Tim Bradley, who cited her for feeding the ducks and geese. In a nod to the past, during the time

reserved for public comment, Gail Gerig highlighted the contribution to the town by former public works director Rob McArthur. “The town benefited from Rob McArthur by grant money for over $1 million in funds from the Department of Local Affairs which provided for this building and many things in public works, like equipment,” she said. In a report on the current series of budget meetings, trustee Michael Butts indicated that negotiations have been ongoing. “There were some pretty tough cuts last night but staff is working on trying to come up with a plausible budget,” he said. The town traditionally approves the budget for the coming fiscal year in December. In a light moment, Dick Bratton handed Mayor Pro Tem a check for $1,800 for the town, the funds to be used for Bradley’s department. Mayor Lorrie Worthey was absent, because of illness.

Academy moving ahead with plans for new Gateway Visitor Center New AFA Visitor Center could open by late 2018 By Danny Summers

dsummers@coloradocommunitymedia.com The location has changed and price tag has gone up, but plans for the new Air Force Academy Gateway Visitor Center remain in place. “We are in the project development planning stage,” said Carlos Cruz-Gonzalez, the Academy’s director of installations. “At this point if everything goes according to plan we plan on breaking ground in late 2016 or early 2017. We’re probably looking at moving into the new facility in late 2018 or early 2019.” Gonzalez has been the point man for the Academy on the new Visitor Center project which - at least for the time being - is still part of the ambitious City For Champions venture. The City For Champions is a $250 to $300 million project that will give Colorado Springs, and the surrounding communities, the distinction that would set the Pikes Peak region apart from the rest of the state. “No more brand campaigns; no more hiding in the shadows of Peyton Manning’s Denver; no more telling the relatives in Nebraska, or Ohio that Colorado Springs is a great place just to visit to see Pikes Peak, America’s Mountain, and ride the cog railway to the summit,” said Mike Moran, the chief spokesman for the United States Olympic Committee for 25 years and a leading advocate for City For Champions. According to the most recent information provided by City for Champion organizers, there will be several huge benefits to having four anchor projects. Over 30 years, City for Champions proponents are projecting as many as 500,000 net new out-of-state visitors to Colorado annually; $6.9 billion in net new state retail sales; $140 million in net new sales tax revenue;

The Air Force Academy is moving ahead with plans for a new visitor center as part of the City For Champions project. This is a photo of the current visitor center. Courtesy photos more than $4.4 million in net new local sales tax revenue; more than 2,900 new and permanent jobs and more than 2,200 new construction jobs. In addition to a new $34 million Gateway Visitor Center (up from $30 million last fall), the City for Champions project includes a new $59.4 million museum that would display Olympic exhibits, a $92.7 million Colorado Sports Event Center that would have a 10,000-seat outdoor stadium, and a 3,000-seat indoor arena. The University of Colorado at Colorado Springs would get money toward a $27 million project that would include a state-of-the-art rehabilitation clinic. The entire City For Champions project is sort of a work in progress. Cruz-Gonzalez said that the Gateway Visitor Center will be about 36,000 square feet (up from 30,000 feet last fall) and include a 250-seat theater, conference room, merchandise store, interactive and engaging displays, and food center. There will also be plenty of parking for buses and automobiles. The site of the Gateway Visitor Center has already been moved from near Falcon Stadium inside Academy gates, to the northwest corner

of North Gate exit 256 - outside the Academy’s north entrance. “We looked at five different locations on the Academy and then trimmed it down to three,” Cruz-Gonzalez said. “Then we refined it to one location that will meet or needs and make it more accessible and more viable to the community.” By not having to pass through the entrances of the Academy, Cruz and his team are hoping to attract more visitors. Academy spokesman John Van Winkle said that that the current Academy Visitor Center had 440,996 people pass through its doors in 2013. “But that only counts the people who went to the Visitor Center during their visit to the Academy,” Van Winkle said. “We have many more visitors attending events at the Cadet Chapel, such as weddings, or Falcon Stadium for football games, lacrosse games, graduation and local band competitions. Or Clune Arena for (District 20 and District 38) graduations and sporting events, and many of those visitors don’t hit the Visitor Center based on their schedules and the time they’ve allocated. So the 440,996 people who hit the Visitor Center last year are just the tip of the tourism iceberg.”

Input sought on area transit, specialized transportation Staff report Mountain Metropolitan Transit and the Pikes Peak Area Council of Governments are holding a community meeting on Wednesday, November 19, 2014 from 4–6 p.m. at the City Administration Building, Room 102. . Those unable to attend can still participate during the meeting via Twitter using #2040Plan. Community members are encouraged to submit feedback via an online questionnaire through Monday, Nov 24th. The questionnaire and additional information is available at movingforwardplan.org/transit-and-specialized-transportation. Community members are invited to help shape the future of regional transportation in the Pikes Peak area. Input is needed to guide future planning for the region’s

fixed-route transit system and specialized transportation services that provide doorto-door transportation for people with special needs. The open house will include several opportunities to provide input and talk with project team members. There will be a presentation to describe draft recommendations at 4:30 p.m., followed by a question and answer period. Questions and comments can be addressed to Angel Bond (mobility@ppacg.org; 719-471-7080 x130). Example discussion questions include: Do you think the proposed recommendations for bus frequency will meet the needs of most users? Do you agree with the recommended core transit corridors? Under what circumstances would people with disabilities or limited mobility use local buses? Your responses to these important questions and more are vital to refining

draft recommendations for the 2040 Regional Transit and Specialized Transportation Plans. Despite the far in the future titles, these plans have more immediate consequences. They will outline a vision for both the near term, over the next five years, and a long-term vision for the next 20 years. They will ultimately feed into the 2040 Regional Transportation Plan. “Even if you don’t currently use the local public transportation services, this is an important issue for all citizens to weigh in on,” says Craig Blewitt, director of Mountain Metropolitan Transit. “Good public transportation is critical to a healthy, vibrant community and helps boost economic development.” Mountain Metropolitan Transit provides local fixed route bus service and Mountain Metro Mobility ADA para-transit service for Colorado Springs and the

Pikes Peak region. All buses are wheelchair-lift equipped. Mountain Metropolitan Transit also provides other services such as Mountain Metro Rides ridesharing, vanpool, and bicycle programs. For added convenience, there are bike racks on all buses for riders who want to utilize the bike-n-bus program.

Town celebrates new hall By Pat Hill

phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com There were fine moments in the grand opening celebration of Town Hall Nov. 15. The hall signals the beginning of a new era in Green Mountain Falls, a result of the arson fire that destroyed the original historic hall in February 2012. After the ceremonial ribbon cutting, Mayor Lorrie Worthey introduced the celebration. “We wouldn’t be here today in this beautiful building without the help of many people and I’d like to recognize those who contributed to this project,” she said. Among them, the board of trustees at the time of the fire: Tyler Stevens, the mayor, Jane Newberry, Mac Pitrone, Scott Useman, Dick Bratton, Marshall Worthey and Robert King. “You were the first people to gather at Church in the Wildwood to deal with the aftermath of the fire. Because of all of you, we were able to find another location to set up shop in Joyland Church,” Worthey said. Continuing with her gratitude list, Worthey named the trustees who joined the board in the interim: Howard Price, Margaret Peterson and Ralph LoCascio. “A special thank you to Rob McArthur and Chris Frandina for the countless hours they put in to this project,” said Worthey, speaking of the former public works director and former town clerk and treasurer. “They were the backbone behind this and we sincerely appreciate their work to get us where we are today.” Worthey’s list included Ed Green Construction. “And thank you to Colorado Municipal League and the Department of Local Affairs for funding this building, to Pikes Peak Regional Building Department, Colorado Springs Utilities, El Paso County, Joyland Church and Rob Seever,” she said. After the election in April, Worthey won a second term and in the introduction, thanked the new board members for their role in the project: Don Ellis, Michael Butts, Tyler Stevens, Barbara Gardiner, Chris Quinn and Dave Cook - along with Michael Cullinane, public works director and Police Chief Tim Bradley.

“Thank you for stepping in and working together,” she said. ”And thank you to the citizens of Green Mountain Falls. You watched from afar as the building was in construction and allowed the professionals to do their work. Hats off to you guys!” Pastor David Shaw, of Church in the Wildwood, followed Worthey with an invocation. In part, Shaw said: “Bless us this day as we celebrate. We give thanks for the minds that created blueprints, the hands that wove electrical work, crafted plumbing, laid concrete, hammered nails and installed heat on this winter day. “We give thanks for the land that holds this building upright and rises as do the mountains and the monuments of the people who have toiled long days to prepare a place for work and community gathering.” While the occasion was one of celebration as well as a pathway to the future, the presentation of framed stories and photographs by Chris Briggs-Hale, principal of Ute Pass Elementary School, highlighted the tragedy of the destruction of the historic town hall. “I remember that day very well. The town hall is the center of gravity, much like a school, a place where memories are made. Not only is it important to us as citizens of a democracy and a place where we come together but it’s important to children, too. It’s a place where stories are shared, where stories are kept. The children at Ute Pass knew there were a lot of stories and history that were in danger of being lost with that beautiful old town hall. “So the kids and the teachers decided that we would try to connect with and collect the history of the hall - and then it turned into the history of the whole Ute Pass area. The kids did a lot of research, collected old photographs, interviewed some of our elders and heard oral histories and stories. “And then they did a lot of writing about why our community is so important to us. They made a timeline of the history of the area and of town hall. To help us all connect that center of gravity that used to be with the center of gravity here in this room, we present this as a gift to the town.” Briggs-Hale collected the stories, photographs and art work, had the collection

The cake says it all. framed and published by the Pikes Peak Courier newspaper. The good feelings of the day were heightened by the $1,000 donation to the town from the Ute Pass Triangle Chamber of Commerce. Pastor Larry McKnight, Joyland Church, said a fond farewell, of sorts. “It’s been a real privilege to help the town hall through the transition. So we commit to going from being a mediocre landlord to a good neighbor,” he said. After reading from the Bookof Psalms, McKnight said, “It’s incredibly important when an event happens and people gather. Buildings of this sort are to house lives and the image and the vision that this place is going to reflect and contain are literally going to be carried in the hearts and minds of the people who are here,” he said. “I want to thank you for the future and the way that lives and destinies are going to weave together in this place.” A $700,000 project, town hall was chiefly funded by a $500,000 grant from the

Department of Local Affairs, with the intercession of regional director Clay Brown; $150,000 from CIRSA, the town’s insurance carrier, and $50,00 from the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department, whose director is Henry Yankowski. PPRBD paid for the furniture in the 2,880-square foot building. “The building is energy-efficient and fire-resistant,” said Rob Seever, the architect with Keystone Architects, whose assistant, Chris Feay, was part of the project. Acknowledging the occasional turmoil during the construction, which included elections, disagreements among board members and, in April, resignations by two staff members, Seever sounded relieved. “We had unanimous approval from the boards as well as from the professional team,” he said. “The political stuff stayed out of it and we were able to focus on the project.” As he observed the people in the room who were there to launch the new town hall, Seever said, “It’s about community.”

This is part of the 1930s village scene at the Model Railroad Exhibition Nov. 15 and 16 at the Ute Pass Cultural Center.

Railroad show attracts a crowd By Bonnie Sumner For the Courier

The Ute Pass Cultural Center was packed both days of the 33rd annual Model Railroad Exhibition, as fans and friends got a history lesson through the artistry and craftsmanship of the exhibitors. Most of the exhibits were based on replicas of Colorado’s vibrant mining industry between 1900 and 1950.

Featured at the show were “how-to clinics,” which included everything from the models to the tools needed to build a scenic layout. The stars of the exhibit were definitely the amazingly detailed dioramas including working trains, buildings, people and animals. The exhibit was the first for Woodland Park; in years past, the show was at Rampart High School in Colorado Springs. The Slim Rail Modular Colorado Narrow Gauge sponsored the exhibit.

This layout of a German city features a house that could be set on fire by pushing a button, which brings the fire department to the rescue.

Air Force football team is bowl bound Falcons have had a remarkable turnarond after worst season in school history By Danny Summers

dsummers@colorado communitymedia.com One year after suffering through its worst football season in school history, Air Force football is headed for its seventh bowl game in eight years under coach Troy Calhoun. The Falcons were 8-2 heading into their Mountain West Conference showdown at San Diego State on Nov. 21. Air Force hosts Colorado State (ranked No. 22 in the nation at last check) in their regular season finale Nov. 28. Air Force has had several key wins this season against some very good teams. None was bigger than its 45-38 overtime victory over Nevada Oct. 15 at Falcon Stadium. With temperatures dropping into the single digits due to the wind chill factor, 11,519 brave fans saw Shayne Davern run for two touchdowns, including the decisive score in overtime, as Air Force hung on for its fourth win in a row. Kale Pearson matched his career high with three touchdown passes, two to Jalen Robinette , and ran for a key fourth-quarter score for Air Force (8-2, 4-2 Mountain West), helping the Falcons remain unbeaten in five games at home this season. For this superb effort, Pearson was named as the MWC’s Offensive Player of the Week. Falcons’ sophomore running back Jacobi Owens became just the third sophomore in Air Force history to rush for 1,000 yards in a single season with 68 yards and two touchdowns against Nevada. He is the first sophomore tailback in team history to reach the milestone. The only other sophomores to do it are quarterback Dee Dowis (1,315 in 1987) and fullback Pat Evans (1,015 in 1984). Don Jackson ran for 123 yards and three

touchdowns for Nevada (6-4, 3-3), which saw its three-game winning streak snapped. The game included five ties, the last on a 22-yard field goal by Brent Zuzo amid snow flurries with 12 seconds remaining in regulation. Nevada is bowl eligible - as is usually the case - and will discover its postseason fate in the coming weeks. After the game, Calhoun was emotional about his team’s victory. “What a phenomenal football game,” said the coach, whose team has had the greatest turnaround of any Division I team in the nation this season. “Exceptionally well played. As good as a college football game as you’ll see. Truth is I don’t know if you’ll be a part of a better game. Truly awesome. We found another way today. “We found a few different ways (to win) this season and that’s the way at the Air Force Academy. It was unfortunate both teams didn’t win.” Just how impressive has Air Force been this season? For starters, the Falcons were picked to finish last in the Mountain Division of the Mountain West Conference, win three games and only one of those in conference play. The experts must have figured that Air Force’s 2-10 record last season would dictate another dreadful year. But that’s not what has happened. The Falcons have placed themselves in a position to achieve any number of things after the gutsy win over Nevada. If Air Force was able to win at San Diego State in a short-week, it would set up a collision with surprising Colorado State when the Rams come to Colorado Springs at 10-1 and likely ranked in the Top 20. That game will be carried by the CBS Sports Network nationally. Air Force received more good news on Nov. 18 when it was announced that Chad Hennings (Air Force Class of 1988) - a 1987 All-American defensive tackle - is the recipient of the 2014 Walter Camp “Alumni Award.” Hennings joins a distinguished list of

Air Force Falcons linebacker Dexter Walker (No. 5 in blue) moves in to tackle Nevada running back Don Jackson (No. 6). Temperatures were 14 degrees when the Falcons secured the 45-38 win in overtime on Nov. 22 at Falcon Stadium. Photos by John Van Winkle former “Alumni Award” winners, including Alan Page (Notre Dame), Bo Jackson (Auburn), Tony Dorsett (Pittsburgh), Herschel Walker (Georgia), Mark May (Pittsburgh), Derrick Brooks (Florida State) and last year’s recipient Ken Huff (North Carolina). The Walter Camp “Alumni of the Year” award is bestowed on a worthy individual who has distinguished himself in the pursuit of excellence as an athlete, in his personal career and in doing good works for others. He must be an individual who has exhibited dedication and good moral conduct in achieving success. In addition, he must be a compassionate and unselfish person who contributes his time and assistance in helping to encourage and comfort fellow human beings less talented and less fortunate than himself. He must also be an individual who takes pride in having been a Walter Camp All-American. “We are elated to recognize Chad Hennings with the Walter Camp Alumni Award,” said Foundation president James Monico. “Chad exemplifies the words leadership, character and commitment.” Hennings was drafted in the 11th round (Pick 290) in the 1988 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys. His Air Force military commitment lasted four years and he joined the Cowboys in 1992 as a 27-year-old rookie.

Temperatures were 14 degrees when the Falcons secured the 45-38 win in overtime Nov. 22 at Falcons Stadium. Air Force has gone from 2-8 at this time last year to 8-2 this season. The six-game turnaround ties a school record. The 1958 team also had a six-game turnaround, going 9-0-2 following a 3-6-1 mark in 1957. He spent nine years with the Cowboys, contributing to one of the top-ranked defenses in the NFL and winning three Super Bowls in four years. During his career he amassed 28 sacks in 107 games. During his years in the NFL he continued his military service in the Air Force Reserve.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF NOV 24, 2014

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) While it seems that chaos is taking over, you get everything back to normal, even if it means being more than a little assertive with some people. Expect to hear more job-related news soon. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Expect to be able to move ahead with your workplace plans now that you have a good idea of what you might have to face. You also can anticipate a welcome change on the home front. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) A quieter period settles in, giving you a chance to catch your breath, as well as allowing for more time to handle some important family matters. The arts dominate this weekend. Enjoy them. CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) The frustrations of last week have pretty much played themselves out. You should find things going more smoothly, especially with those all-important personal matters. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Once again, you find a creative way to resolve a pesky problem in short order. However, a matter involving a possible breach of confidence might need a bit more time to check out. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Reuniting with an old friend could lead to the sharing of some great new experiences. But be careful you don’t find yourself once again being super-critical or overly judgmental. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) You should be seeing some positive results following your move toward repairing that unraveling relationship. There might be some setbacks, but staying with it ultimately pays off. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Encouraging a friendlier environment in the home could go a long way to help dissipate anger and resolve problems, especially those affecting children. It won’t be easy, but you can do it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) A recent act of kindness is beginning to show some unexpected (but very welcome) results. On another note, expect to hear more about a possible move to another locale. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) The good news is that the sure-footed Goat can rely on his or her skill to get around obstacles in the workplace. The notso-good news is that new impediments could turn up later. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A change of pace is welcome but also confusing. Before you make decisions one way or another, be sure you know precisely what it is you’re being asked to do. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Don’t fret if you don’t get the gratitude you think you’re owed for doing a nice thing for someone. There might be a good reason for that. In any event, what’s important is that you did it. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a way of making the sort of wise decisions that ultimately shed new light on dark situations. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.
