WP Council wraps up 2014 Appointments made, ordinances, liquor licenses approved By Norma Engelberg Contributing writer

At its Dec. 4 meeting Woodland Park City Council decided not to reappoint Dan Vogel to the planning commission and instead appointed a fourth applicant, Gerald Penland, to fill one of three vacancies on the commission. However, commissioners Geoff Watson and Tom Rollinger were reappointed to their positions. Vogel missed seven of 16 commissioners’ meetings during his term because of family commitments. He said he made sure he attended the most important meetings and promised to try to do better. Mayor Neil Levy voted for Penland after commenting that it’s ironic to dismiss one person because of his attendance and approve another who didn’t make it to his own appointment hearing. Penland retired from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and is a two-year city resident.

This Woodland Park Webelos Cub Scout Troop 20 Color Guard opened the Dec. 4 City Council meeting. Photos by Norma Engelberg Levy commended Vogel for his commitment to his family and encouraged him to think about coming back to the commission in the future. Council then approved two liquor license transfers and one ordinance on second reading. The transfers were for the Valero/Diamond Shamrock on U.S. 24 and for the Historic Ute Inn. Almost all Valero/Diamond Shamrock stations in the DenverColorado Springs area have been bought up by Quick Way Retail Associates and the Ute Inn was bought by former employee Elijah Murphy, owner of Never Ending Inc.

Charis debuts dinner theatre By Pat Hill

PHONE: 719-687-3006 A legal newspaper of general circulation in Teller County, Colorado, the Pikes Peak Courier is published weekly on Wednesday by Colorado Community Media, 1200 E.

Woodland Park City Council approved the conditional use permit that will allow Radiant Church to demolish this home, built in 1930, to make way for a modular building that will be used by Radiant Church for youth services.

asked if the 215 fund budget reflected the revenue the authority will receive when the city buys land in Woodland Station for the Woodland Aquatic Center. City Manager David Buttery said it didn’t because the $100,000 in cash to be paid to the authority will be immediately turned around to buy vacant land from Vectra Bank. The remaining $369,000 in costs for the aquatic center land will be taken off the $1 million the authority owes the city. Council then approved the city’s property tax mill levy of 16.249 mills as presented by Finance Director Wallie Dingwell. The levy has remained the same since 1991. When asked about lowering the levy in the future, Buttery said that’s easy but raising it back up takes a vote of the people. Finally council approved the 2014 supplemental appropriations ordinance and the 2015 appropriations ordinance.

A theatre debut at Charis Bible College offers entertainment as well as an opportunity to view the expansive college, which opened in January in Woodland Park. With 650 students, some of them professional actors, the college has an in-house foundation for theatre productions. “December seemed like a good time to do the dinner theatre,” said Marcia Alverson, assistant director. “Andrew Wommack (the college founder) loves Christmas as we all do.” Adam Stone, a student from England, wrote the script for “The Gift,” which launched the dinner theatre Dec. 4 and 5. Alverson, whose background is in music, works with the director, Daniel Amstutz, for two of the productions. “One of the things Daniel loves to do is empower people through their gifts. To us, there’s no better way than to watch so many gifts come alive in people,”

she said. “Our students are being trained and are able to express themselves.” The second production, “God with Us,” is written by the husband-wife team, Robert and Elizabeth Muren; the couple is also making a movie titled, “Yeshua.” While most of the cast is from Norway, where the couple lives, the college has provided some of the actors and musicians. “The Murens brought 24 trunks of costuming,” Alverson said. The play revolves around the history of the bible and culminates with the story of Jesus being God with us, Alverson said. The dinner-theatre production, Dec. 12 and Dec. 13, is $100 per person for premier seating and $80 a person for regular seating. The dinner is catered by Three Tomatoes of Denver. The third production, Colorado Cowboy Christmas, features two singers from the Flying W Wranglers and is catered by Rudy’s Barbecue in Colorado Springs. Tickets for this performance Dec. 18 and 19 are $70 per person for premier seating and $50 for

The dinner is from 6 to 7:30 p.m. and the per-

formances begin at 7:30. All shows include free valet parking. Charis Bible College is part of Andrew Wommack Ministries and is one of 40 extension colleges around the world.

A solemn time during the annual Lights of Love ceremony is the lighting of the candles to honor those who are memorialized in the reading of the names. Photos by Pat Hill

The Woodland Park Madrigal Singers are a vital part of the annual Lights of Love ceremony.

LIGHTS OF LOVE

Music helps to connect to that other world By Pat Hill

phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com Distinguished by the music, the Wind Symphony Brass, the Methodist Church Handbell Choir and the Woodland Park

High School Madrigals, the Lights of Love ceremony is a solemn yet inspiring interlude in December. “Music helps us to connect with that other world,” said Connie Campbell, who directs the Madrigals at the high school.

“Please be sure to embrace life,” he said. In a change of tradition, the ceremony did not conclude with the lighting of the tree outside the Ute Pass Cultural Center. The tree had been lit and the people gathered inside for refreshments.

The annual ceremony, a fundraiser for Prospect Home Care & Hospice, includes the reading of names of those who have died, while loved ones light candles during the reading. Spiritual counselor Earl Melin concluded the ceremony with a reflection.

Founder of Woodland Music series Powell dies By Pat Hill

phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com With the death of Bob Powell, Woodland Park has lost a man who brought jazz to the city. Founder of Woodland Music Series, Powell helped the organization celebrate the 10th anniversary this summer. “He did all of the jazz bookings; that was his passion,” said Ralph Rothstein, volunteer and founding member of the music series, a nonprofit organization. “He loved music and loved the community”

Beloved by various sectors of the community, Powell, a licensed social worker, worked tirelessly to bring Pikes Peak Regional Hospital to Woodland Park. He was among the original fundraisers and organizers of the hospital, which opened Oct. 1, 2007. “Single-handedly, Bob raised almost $3 million for the hospital,” Rothstein said. “The funds were significant - in order to get the grants and loans they needed to finish the hospital; the agencies they were dealing with required a commitment from the

community. Bob spearheaded that effort.” Known for his devotion to Stella, the Golden Retriever listed on the building register, along with her owner, Powell brought the dog to area schools, believing that the presence of a dog was good for children’s concentration. Powell was legally blind, a fact not known by the general public. “He never let that stand in his way of doing anything. He was a big outdoor guy,” Rothstein said. Powell, 70, died of natural causes Nov. 16. He is survived by his wife of 47 years,

Powell Carol, and their son, Dustin and his wife, Robyn, and their baby, Haleigh Olivia. According to Rothstein, more than 250 people attended Powell’s services Nov. 22 at Mountain View United Methodist Church.

Concerts and crafts highlight December By Pat Hill

phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Christmas season in southern Teller County started with a tea in November and will conclude with a community dinner Dec. 20 at the Victor Hotel. Called “The Spirit of Giving,” the season includes a bazaar and craft fair Dec. 13 at the Aspen Mine Center in Cripple Creek. One of the highlights of the season is the annual concert featuring the Woodland Park Community Singers, the Church in the Wildwood Bell Choir and the Colorado Springs Chorale. The musicians are at different venues

and times Dec. 13. The bell choir is at 11 a.m. at the Butte Opera House; the singers perform at 11:30 a.m. at the Aspen Mine Center and the chorale is at 3:30 p.m. at the Cripple Creek Baptist Church. Also that day, the Christmas parade, which runs along Bennett Avenue, is at noon Dec. 13. The concluding dinner Dec. 20 is from 12 to 4 at the Victor Hotel and is open to the public. All of the holiday events are the result of the volunteerism of the Gold Camp Community Christmas Planning Committee, along with volunteers from the cities of Victor and Cripple Creek.

Town left out of the mix of the 2015 USA Pro Cycling Challenge Colorado Springs also will not have the race come through town By Danny Summers dsummers@colorado communitymedia.com Organizers of the USA Pro Cycling Challenge have announced the host cities for the 2015 edition of the

race and Woodland Park is not on the list. In fact, it does not appear that the race will come anywhere close to the Pikes Peak region as Colorado Springs also will not be having the race come through its city. “The start and finish cities for the 2015 USA Pro Challenge are going to create some unique challenges for the riders while also showcasing some of Colorado’s most beautiful re-

gions to our worldwide audience,” said Rick Schaden, owner of the USA Pro Challenge. “We are always humbled by the amount of interest we receive from cities across the state that want to host the race and we feel confident that the partners we’ve selected this year will help us continue to raise the bar for professional cycling in America.” Colorado Springs Sports Corporation President and CEO Tom Osborne is hope-

T E L L E R

ful that the race will return to the region in the coming years. “The feelings should not be negative, not in any way,” Osborne said. “Those who launched the inaugural Pro Challenge at the Garden of the Gods in 2011 have nothing but respect and praise for the way in which America’s Olympic City has handled the three Cycling continues on Page 17

Turley trial postponed By Pat Hill

phill@colorado communitymedia.com In a hearing Dec. 1 for former Woodland Park mayor Dave Turley, 4th Judicial District Court Judge Theresa Cisneros approved a motion by prosecuting attorneys to disclose all recovered text messages from Turley’s phone. “I talked to Mr. (Matthew) James and he said he cannot access the messages,” said Cynthia McKedy, Turley’s defense attorney. “We will make that happen in the next two weeks.” Turley was arrested in May under sus-

picion of assault on a minor by a person in a position of trust. He has pled not guilty and was scheduled for trial Feb. 24. However, Cisneros canceled the trial date and scheduled a motions hearing Jan. 26. While agreeing to the release of the text messages, McKedy objected to the prosecution’s intention to use allegations by a witness about something that happened in Virginia. “These allegations are unfounded; if that’s the evidence they’re trying to bring in, they’re completely false, not true, not real,” she said. To a request by McKedy, Cisneros ordered the prosecution to provide the

victim’s confidential contact information only to the defense attorney and the investigator, Francisco Salazar. McKedy asked if the prosecution would be using an expert witness and James agreed to provide the information within 30 days. In addition, the judge granted McKedy’s request for the release of the therapist’s report held by the Woodland Park Police Department within two weeks. The therapist interviewed the victim before Turley’s arrest. Turley’s next appearance in court is Jan. 26.

Council Continued from Page 1

Two resolutions were also approved, one will allow the city to reimburse itself from bond and certificates of participation fund for survey and other kinds of work it might perform for the aquatic center, fleet maintenance facility and/ or Memorial Park projects. The second resolution adopts the city’s fund balance policy, codifying the city’s intent to keep a 10 percent fund balance in the general fund at all times. Buttery said the resolution doesn’t keep the city from using the fund balance in a fiscal emergency. With its 2014 business completed, council voted to cancel its Dec. 18 meeting and regular meeting that would have landed on New Year’s Day. A special meeting before the Jan. 15 regular meeting could be arranged if needed. The city hired Jessica Memmer, former Cripple Creek Deputy Clerk, as the new Woodland Park Deputy Clerk. New City Clerk Suzanne Leclercq introduced Memmer at the beginning of the meeting.

Pikes Peak – America’s Mountain celebrates record attendance Staff report Thinking of driving to the top of Pikes Peak – America’s Mountain? You are not alone. The Pikes Peak Highway recently exceeded the annual attendance record of 340,329 that was set in 1971. Pikes Peak – America’s Mountain has enjoyed a 23 percent increase from 2013 and 28 percent more than 2012. The trend of increased attendance continued dur-

ing the summer of 2014 when the highway welcomed more than 55,000 visitors in June and 80,000 in July, which was an 18 percent average increase from the previous year. The regional impact of reaching this milestone is great since 70 to 80 percent of our visitors are from out of state and most, typically, extend their stay over several days to visit other local attractions and venues. There have been changes on Pikes Peak – America’s Mountain since the 1971 re-

cord was set. The North Slope Recreation Area opened in July 1992 bringing more than 25,000 visitors annually to Pikes Peak to explore the three fishing lakes, numerous hiking trails, and outdoor recreation activities. In 2012, the completion of the expanded Gateway to three lanes has allowed Pikes Peak Ranger staff to welcome guests more efficiently and minimize potential wait time in line. “We thank our many guests who have come to visit us this year and every year,”

says Sandy Elliott, Parks Operations Administrator. “We have had a terrific year and are grateful that so many come to experience this spectacular place.” On Dec. 5, guest Zackry Cary stationed at Ft. Carson, CO., broke the 1971 attendance record and in celebration was presented with an assortment of gifts including a gift certificate to spend at one of the gift shops on the mountain and an annual pass to visit America’s Mountain again.

Incline reopens Scores with the Incline Nation step up Staff report After being closed since Monday, Aug. 18, the Incline reopened Friday, Dec. 5, about 11 a.m. with scores lined up to take a look at just what is involved in a $1,586,486 expenditure (and four months of repairs) related to the trail improvement project. The project, according to officials had four major goals: improved safety, enhanced user experience, long-term sustainability of the trail and increased accessibility. Work on the Incline included repair and replacement of damaged retaining walls, cleanup of rebar and loose debris, construction of additional drainage structures, stabilization of existing ties and stabilization of surrounding slopes. The new drainage structures will significantly reduce the velocity of water, a critical factor in reducing erosion and ensuring the Incline’s longterm sustainability. Funding for the project came from the following sources: • FEMA – $556,486 • Great Outdoors Colorado Grant – $350,000 • Colorado Springs Utilities – $250,000 • State Trails Grant – $200,000 • Colorado Springs CTF Program – $80,000 • Incline Friends – $60,000 • Colorado Springs TOPS Program – $50,000 • Manitou springs Barr Parking Lot Fund – $40,000 During construction, Barr Trail, Ute Indian Trail, Interman Trail, Red Mountain Trail, and the COG Railway remained open in their entirety. “These facilities are within walking distance of the Incline and utilize the community shuttle stop as the incline. Manitou springs will continue to operate its free community shuttle with a drop off location at the Iron Springs Chateau,” says a joint release from Manitou springs and Colorado Springs. Hiking the Incline during construction was prohibited for safety reasons. “The Incline will be closed while the the trail is under construction. While the construction is underway, equipment will be in use and the hiking surface will be impacted. Staging of materials will be located at the base of the Incline. Please give construction crews a break and resit the urge

RULES TO INCLINE BY After being closed for three-and-a-half months, the incline reopened on Friday, Dec. 5 after a reopening celebration. There are rules to the Incline. This is an extreme trail, so those who use it are urged to do so at their own risk. Do not attempt this trail if not used to hiking at altitude or have trouble climbing a standard flight of stairs Consult with a doctor before adding the incline to an exercise routine Those who medical attention on the incline are cautioned that it could take First Responders over an hour to get to you Incline hours are dawn to dusk. Be respectful of the neighbors who live on Ruxton Avenue. No dogs are allowed, dogs off leash or dogs on long leashes become hazards to other hikers and to themselves. The excessive amount of dog waste that has been left behind is becoming a health issue. Uphill only is recommended. Use Barr Trail for the descent. Please be respectful of all hikers, stay on the designated trail corridor. Slower hikers stay to the right. Pack out trash. Utilize the port-a-lets before starting a hike. These rules and regulations were vetted during the master plan process and are required by the property owners. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in permits and agreements being revoked. to to sneak up the Incline while no one is looking,” releases from the city say. “Citations will be issued for anyone trespassing on the Incline during construction. The citation will be $100. Please adhere to the closure or you will be ticketed,” city officials said.

History of the Mt. Manitou Incline Under the ownership of Dr. Newton Brumback, the Manitou Incline was originally constructed as a one-mile cable tram for the purpose of providing access to water tanks at the top of the mountain that would provide gravity-fed water pressure to the cities of Manitou Springs and Colorado Springs. Shortly after its completion in 1907, the tram was opened as a tourist attraction. The Incline boasted a 16-minute ride to “scenic splendors” and 10 miles of hiking trails in Mt. Manitou Park, and claimed to be the “longest and highest incline on the globe.” The Incline’s 2,741 steps make up one of the most challenging and popular recreation sites in the nation. The trail is a one-mile ascent with an elevation gain of 2,000 feet, and the average grade is 43%, reaching 68% at the steepest point. Nearly 20 years of unmanaged trespass and use of

After four months and more than $1.5 million in repairs, the Incline, in Manitou Springs reopened Friday, Dec. 5, at about 11 a.m. and it seems almost everyone with the Incline Nation showed up to test the new facilities. Photo by Rob Carrigan the Incline have resulted in significant erosion on the mountainside and dangerous trail conditions. In 2010, the three property owners – Colorado Springs Utilities, the COG Railway, and the US Forest Service – together with the cities of Colorado Springs and Manitou Springs, agreed that serious safety and lia-

bility concerns, including the trail’s condition and impact on nearby neighborhoods, called for development of a Site Development and Management Plan to address these issues, allow the Incline to open for legal use and to capitalize on the Incline’s benefits. The Incline is now officially open and legal for recreational use.

Gomes named undersheriff By Pat Hill

phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com After 28 years with the Woodland Park Police Department, Deputy Chief John Gomes has accepted a position as the undersheriff with Teller County. “John is very well-known in this county. I think he’s very gifted — philosophically, our management styles are much the same,” said Sheriff Mike Ensminger. “We’re just real excited that he’s coming on board.” Gomes, 57, has had a distinguished career in law enforcement. The first officer to lead the metro narcotics unit in Teller County, Gomes recalls a memorable drug raid in the mid-1990s. “After about a nine-month investigation we did 11 search warrants in and around Cripple Creek,” he said. “Back then there was a lot of cocaine - heroin is making a big comeback now.” The county’s narcotics unit was an addition to the regional Metro Vice Narcotics, where Gomes represented the Woodland Park Police Department. Along with Gomes, the county’s narcotics team included representatives of the Division of Gaming, the police departments in Cripple Creek, Woodland Park and Colorado Springs as well as El Paso County. “We worked a lot of illegal activities in

Cripple Creek,” he said. “Heroin was big 15-20 years ago, then we had crack, cocaine, meth - meth, of course, is still there; it’s so highly addictive, that’s what’s tough.” Reflecting on his career in Woodland Park, Gomes counts the arrest of the Texas Seven among the highlights. “Everybody worked that,” Gomes said, adding that the seven fugitives were arrested by Teller County Sheriff Frank Fehn on county land. A certificate from the FBI Academy in Virginia hangs on the wall in Gomes’ office. “It’s an honor to be selected for the academy,” he said. The wall is a reflection, too, of Gomes’ contributions to the community. Member of the boards of directors of Safe Passage, Northeast Teller County Fire Protection District, Victim Advocate Law Enforcement and the 911 Authority, where he represents Teller County. As well, he has volunteered with Boy Scout Troop #43. “I’m sure there are things I can volunteer for in the county,” he said. “The thing I’ve truly enjoyed about the community is the people. But it’s not like I’m moving. I’m not even moving out of my house.” As the new undersheriff, Gomes expects to review policies and implement audits, as he does with the police department. “Plus, I’ll be giving guidance to the commanders, helping them make decisions, giving them a resource to go to,” he said. The career switch is from a department

John Gomes, deputy chief with the Woodland Park Police Department, has accepted a position as the Undersheriff of Teller County, serving under Sheriff Mike Ensminger. Photo by Pat Hill of 30 to one with 85 employees. “So one of the first things I want to do is meet everybody,” he said. There’s a chance, too, that he’ll be seen in a patrol car. “Riding around with an officer kind of keeps you in touch with what’s going on, gives you a realistic perspective,” he said. “It’s one thing to talk about something — if you don’t actively involve yourself you lose touch. I want to see what the

officers’ expectations are of me and see how I fit into all of it.” Gomes’ last day in Woodland Park is Dec. 30 and he’ll be sworn into office as the county’s new undersheriff the next morning. “I’m looking forward to it - it’s going to be fun to learn from them,” he said “Hopefully, we can benefit each other. I’m not sure how everything runs but I’m sure I’m going to find out.”

Coin not really worth anything to anyone but me It was about Christmas time, three years ago I think, when he pressed the big round steel coin in my hand at the nursing home as I was leaving. The coin was bigger than a dollar, with a Big Horn Sheep on it. But Dad knew I always liked coins and this one appealed to me, for its heft and size, its weight, and art. I think it appealed to him for similar reasons. Not really worth anything to anyone but me. I had a hard time figuring out what had happened to him. He had always been solid as a rock, and still was in most, important ways. Except he really did not know what was going on. It was like the the record-player was skipping. He talked about the way “they” had changed the maps on him. Moved all the streets around. I think he felt the county was responsible, or the state. Maybe even the army. My dad was in the army, in the ‘50s, and knew that they required respect, but you have to keep an eye on them.

He would tell you he was making good money at “Cornbinder” in Detroit when when the army needed diesel mechanics for International Harvester powered tanks. He thought it was just cheaper for the army to draft him and pay him corporal wages, instead of contracting IH, in the buzzing ‘50s. Oh well, they could have sent him to Korea, but instead, tank school in Japan. His two older brothers had been at war with Japan in WWII, he was teased, but he went over there to educate them. How to fix tanks. He was a monkey under a hood ...

Popeye arms and a sense of how the gear turned, where the cog fit, sound of the click ... part of the machine. I never understood that sense. I liked cars, respected them, sometimes even knew how they worked. Never felt them, like he did. He could just drive any of my beat-up old rigs for a few days and the vehicle would run better for a time. I think it was different in later years. The sensors, computers, putting it on the monitor to read the chip, he tried to keep pace, but by the time he retired, he had enough, I think. And after that, it was even more confusing. He still kept pretty busy after retirement, helped on wrecker calls for years. My friends in the Dolores all marveled at his dedication to walking Amos, my brother’s part Great Dane, that he reverseinherited and the damn dog dragged him around the river city. When the dog was gone, he still liked to

and Christmas Day to mingle and exchange food and souvenirs. The troops also shared cigars, walked together, and played soccer with one another, which seems to be one of the truce’s most enduring images (as seen in the commercial). There were also joint burial ceremonies and prisoner swaps. Several meetings were said to have ended in the singing of Christmas carols. The friendly, almost joyous, truce did not take place everywhere along the front, however. In other areas the sides settled on little more than arrangements to recover bodies. The Christmas truce of 1914 is fascinating for many reasons. Though World War I had been raging for only four months, it was already proving to be one of the bloodiest wars in history.

The Christmas truce of 1914 I’m a stats, numbers, dates and history freak. Sort of like a walking encyclopedia (yes those were once used by a lot of people) on various subjects. Among the topics that interest me is war. My favorite wars to study are the American Revolutionary and Civil wars, and the two World wars. Recently, my editor and I were sitting around the office talking about war stuff. That got me thinking about the Christmas truce of World War I. The next day I was scrolling through my Facebook page when I ran across a British television commercial that described the very subject. That amazing commercial - which can be found at https://www. youtube.com/watch?v=NWF2JBb1bvM caused me to do explore the matter a little deeper. According to various first-hand and eye-witness accounts, series of widespread - but unofficial - ceasefires took place along the Western Front leading up to Christmas Day 1914. In the week leading up to Christmas Day, German and British soldiers crossed trenches near the Ypres Salient in France to exchange seasonal greetings and talk. In some areas, men from both sides ventured into “No Man’s Land” on Christmas Eve

sides were trapped in trenches, exposed to the cold and wet winter weather, covered in mud, and extremely careful of sniper shots. Machines guns had proven their worth in the war, slaughtering soldiers with the greatest of ease. The Christmas truce of 1914 seems to have brought out the best in the soldiers. Those men who lay shivering in the trenches embraced the Christmas spirit; if only temporarily. One of the most extraordinary accounts of the Christmas truce was described by British General Walter Congreve in a letter to his wife. According to a British news site www. telegraph.co.uk, Congreve, who led the rifles brigade, was positioned at British headquarters near Neuve Chapelle in northern France. In his letter, he recalled how it was the Germans who had called for a day’s truce, which was agreed to when one of Congreve’s men bravely came out of the trenches. In the letter, Congreve also talks of his reluctance to join in the truce for fear that the Germans might shoot him because of his rank. Summers continues on Page 9

Holidays can derail the most dedicated Can you feel the holidaze, yet? Has the frenzy of the season put your workout routines on the back burner? The holiday season can derail even the most dedicated exercise fanatic. Here are some tips on how to stay active and squeeze some workouts into the madness of the season from yours truly and some of my favorite fitness websites. First and foremost, this is not a time to start a new exercise routine or go on a diet. Let maintenance be your mantra until 2015 arrives. That said, let’s deal with the excuses for blowing off your workouts during the holidaze. It’s too cold, I don’t have the time, I need to travel, It’s too dark outside, I have too many parties to attend and I’ll start fresh in January … I’ve hear them all. Layered workout clothes or exercising indoors answers the “too cold” argument. Layering for exercising in cold weather has become a science … go to rei.com. For those who think they don’t have

time, cut back a little on the frequency and duration of your workouts. Then, schedule them into your day planner or iPad just like you do your business and social commitments. If you’re traveling, plan ahead. Take the time to research the exercise options at your destination location. Search for walking, running or park trails nearby. If you’re staying in a hotel, find out if they have an exercise room or if there is a public gym in the area. If all else fails, design your own work-

out routine using your body weight. Pushups, lunges, sit-ups or walking the stairs all fit the bill. Check out http://greatist. com/fitness/50-bodyweight-exercisesyou-can-do-anywhere. If the short days and long nights are standing in the way of your exercise regime, either switch to an indoor routine or invest in gear made for exercising in the dark. You can start with reflective clothing to help keep you safe, a headlamp to light the way or just visit http://greatist. com/move/gear-for-running-in-the-dark, where you’ll find 22 items made specifically for working out in the dark. Finding yourself a little too popular and being invited to every major party in town? Pick and choose the parties you really want attend and offer gracious “sorry, can’t make it” excuses to the others. Limiting the number of holiday events you commit to will help keep your stress level down and free up some time for exercise. I know this is un-American but

there really is such a state as “too much of a good thing.” And finally, as for “I’ll start fresh in January,” … don’t go there. I don’t care whether it’s your aerobic conditioning, strength workouts or flexibility sessions that you’re neglecting starting over is no fun. Trust me, I’ve been there and done that. So go out there and enjoy the holiday season and its festivities but do so in moderation allowing time for a scaled down exercise commitment. That way you won’t have to lie on the bed to get into your favorite jeans on January 2nd.

The first Colorado train has unusual start I get asked now and then about the first railroad in Colorado. That is an unusual story, and I will share it today. On June 25, 1867, the first railroad rails were laid in Colorado. It was during the building of the Union Pacific’s part of the transcontinental railroad. The track layers were following the South Platte River from Nebraska. The line had been surveyed a year or more in advance of these workmen. The next day the tracklayers were back in Nebraska! Only a couple miles of the railroad actually crossed Colorado land. It then worked into Wyoming and that started one of the most famous railroad towns in the west, Cheyenne. In Denver there was a state of alarm. Certainly the town was

doomed. Denver had to be on the transcontinental railroad. After all it was an important mining town. The men were in panic mode. The camp, not even 10 years old, was surely important enough. The business leaders decided to build their own

railroad to Cheyenne. This brought one of the men who would change Colorado’s history. This is where Gen. Palmer comes back to Colorado. The general, on his first visit only crossed from the east to the south, generally following the Arkansas River to the mountains then south to New Mexico. He had made his survey traveling to California. When he returned to Kansas, the owners had given up their grandest scheme, and were going to build to Denver, and help them connect with Cheyenne. The General went to Denver to help organize and build a railroad which when finished would connect with a line coming through Kansas. Service started to Cheyenne in July of 1870. At the same time he was mak-

ing plans for a railroad of his own. I have told that story here before. The lines that Palmer built from Kansas to Denver, and from Denver to Cheyenne, are still there. Now part of the Union Pacific railroad, and I think he would be surprised to see that even his Denver and Rio Grande is now, also part of that big company. The folks at Strasburg like to point out that they were where the east and the west were really joined. The Kansas Pacific liked by rail to the east over bridges on the Mississippi River in Missouri, while the Union Pacific did not cross the Mississippi on a bridge. The UP crossed the Mississippi using barges at the time.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor: We are asking for your help, both monetarily and support. This lady who is very special and been a part of our community for more than 25 years needs our help. She has given to this community in so many ways behind the scenes. She now needs our help to get herself, her daughter and granddaughter through a very difficult time. You all know her as Teri from the Smokehouse Restaurant. She is the petite lady who always wore her hair in a long braid. She worked in the kitchen for over 14 years. She has just begun her second round of chemotherapy. Teri is very stubborn and prideful. I know she will fight this for as long as she can. I am afraid this second session will be very difficult for both her and her family. Please help in any way you can. Any donations you can give please drop off at the Smokehouse Restaurant. They will be happy to see she gets them. Please Woodland Park Community, this

My dad always, always, always understood that he was to take care of us, and my mom. Part of the job was, he knew, to get us to the point where we could take care of ourselves. He did that, I think. And take care of Mom. The challenges can creep up on you in

special lady and her family desperately need our help and support. Anything you can do would be appreciated! Thank you, The Smokehouse Restaurant Dear Editor: I was deeply saddened to learn of the death of Bob Powell, a Woodland Park resident who spent his career as a therapist helping those suffering from behavioral health problems. I got to know Bob when I was a member of Rotary, and although we were political opposites, it was years before I knew his political affiliation, because he was first and foremost a man with a deep understanding of and concern for the frailty of the human condition. Bob neither ignored nor avoided the undeniable emotional challenges people face.Rather, he confronted them in the arena where compassion and caring meet pain and suffering.Although I never had the need for his services, I know several people who did, and their lives were ma-

a lifetime. Cars and engines change from a thing you sense and smell, and feel, and know by their click. To something you need a $200,000 monitor to figure out. That monkey muscle gets tired, and your joints twist, and your cogs slip, and your gears don’t mesh. Reality becomes someone else’s. When you are used to taking care of things, it is really hard when you can’t. But you try with all your heart, and soul, and memory, of what once was. In the end, it is almost impossible ... painful ... frustrating ... But the coin he gave me has heft, and weight, and size, and art. It is not really worth anything to anyone but me. side prohibiting fraternization. Soldiers were no longer amenable to a truce by 1916. The war had become increasingly bitter after devastating human losses suffered during the battles of the Somme and Verdun. All totaled, more than 10 million soldiers were killed during World War I (1914 to 1918). The war was later dubbed the “war to end all wars.”

Bella the Wolf-Dog comes to Florissant Library

Library offers educational programs to all patrons By Norma Engelberg Contributing writer

During December, Story Time at the Florissant Public Library is sponsored by the letter W. At the Dec. 4 Story Time, W stood for Wolves and special guests, Bella the Wolf-Dog and her handler Phil Trella from the Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center. Before Bella was introduced to the more than 65 adults and children in attendance, Story Time host Mary Capps read “The Eyes of Gray Wolf” by Jonathan London and Trella answered questions about wolves and the wildlife center’s mission. Despite their name, Gray Wolves come in shades of black, white and tan. Gray wolves are always born with black coats and blue eyes but by age 2 they might have pure white coats and their eyes will have changed to gold. “You just don’t know what color you’re going to get,” he said. “But if someone says they have an adult wolf and it has blue eyes, it isn’t a pure wolf. Wolves don’t have curly tails either. Bella’s tail curls and that shows that she is a wolf-dog. She’s part husky but she does have golden eyes.” Litter size varies from 1-8, depending on the amount of food available. The mother cares for the pups by herself in a den until they are four weeks old then the entire pack helps with pup rearing. When wolves were first reintroduced at Yellowstone Park, one pack had 37 members. Most packs are much smaller. Officially, there hasn’t been a wolf pack in Colorado since 1937 but Trella said he wouldn’t be surprised if Colorado had a wolf pack or two hiding out in the mountains. Gray Wolves average about 3-feet tall from paws to shoulder, with Mexican Gray Wolves and Red Wolves a little shorter and Arctic Wolves a little taller. Bella, who at 3-years old is still considered a giant puppy, weighs about 70-80 pounds. When the questions ran out Trella brought in Bella and the children took turns greeting her and petting her and, of course, having their photos taken with her. Trella said again and again that wolves and wolf-dogs do not make good pets and

that Bella is a bad example because she is way too friendly “I wish I could say I trained her to be this friendly but I didn’t,” he said. “She came to us this way. Wolves can be socialized but they can’t be trained. If you want them to heel, roll-over or play dead they won’t do it and trying to keep them past age 2 usually turns out bad.” In fact, wolf rescue organizations, such as the Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center, exist because it doesn’t work well when people try to own wolves and wolf-dogs as pets, Trella said. The center has 18 rescued wolves and wolf-dogs. “We’re trying to dispel all the `Big Bad Wolf’ stories,” Trella said. More information about wolves and the center and its educational programs is available at www.wolfeducation.org. Story-Time is designed for all gradeschool age children but winter participants are usually preschoolers. The Dec. 11 Story Time theme is “White” and at the Dec. 18 Story Time Mrs. Claus will be on hand with stories about “Winter.” Story Time is just a small part of the library’s educational mission. The library offers a book club, a summer reading program and computer classes. Roberts also encourages homeschoolers to take advantage of the library’s many resources. “We have great databases and with Marmot (an online interlibrary borrowing system) our horizons are expanding,” she said. “Marmot can get publications from all over the state and it works with four colleges and universities, Colorado Christian University, Adams State, Colorado Mountain College and Colorado Mesa University, for an incredible depth of information.” Because of a lack of TV or cable in the far reaches of the county, the library also circulates large numbers of DVDs, either from its own collection or through Marmot. In January, the Rampart Library District’s two branches will initiate a new program, Lawyers in the Library. Once a month, library patrons who sign up at either the Florissant or Woodland Park libraries will be able to share 20 minutes of Skype time with a lawyer to get answers to their legal questions. For more information about library programs, visit www.rampartlibrarydistrict.org or call 719-687-9281, ext. 102 in Woodland Park or call Roberts at 719-7483939 in Florissant.

Testing is not all there is By Pat Hill

phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com In the next few weeks, The Courier will examine education at Ute Pass Elementary School and what the school is doing to enhance curriculum while adhering to the state standards, which includes testing. The articles will include visits to the classrooms. In the quest to penetrate the mind of a child, to incite curiosity and instill a sense of joy in discovery, educators at Ute Pass Elementary School are turning things upside down. In the age of testing and increasing controversy from teachers and parents around the nation, Chris Briggs-Hale, the school’s principal, is looking beyond the educational box. “We scored perfect on the TCAP reading assessment; it was a team effort,” he said. “But is that what we want to be known for — only that? Do we want that to define us?” In a seize-the-day opportunity for inno-

vation, Briggs-Hale reached out to parents and residents of Chipita Park and Green Mountain Falls. “If we don’t define what’s important for our children, if we don’t have interactive conversations, then it’ll be done for us,” he said. “And it’s being done for us, far too often.” Granted, test scores are a valuable tool for the overall health of the school but not more important than, for instance, a cholesterol test for health, he said. “We are taking a position, not that tests are bad, but we have a responsibility to pay attention to a lot more than tests. Collectively, we are testing way too much,” he said. As the efficacy of testing continues to spark debate around the nation, particularly among teachers, Briggs-Hale, along with the entire Manitou Springs School District, focuses on tapping into a child’s normal curiosity as an education energizer “Let’s get really serious about curiosity. If they’re not curious what can we do better?” he said. “What inspires curiosity in

our children?” In today’s testing environment, fear of getting bad grades actually impedes learning, he added. “Fear is the number one obstacle to curiosity,” he said. While the principal and the district aren’t planning to throw textbooks in the trash, they certainly are adding to just-thefacts curriculum. “We have to be real about this - what leads to the highest level of discourse?” he said. Observer of the school’s environment, the principal believes the students at Ute Pass want to dig deeper into issues, past or present. “Kids want to know about Egypt, about race, about Christopher Columbus - they want to know why some people think he’s good and others think he’s bad and why there is a debate,” he said. “That’s what’s missing - we aren’t teaching kids the dialogue; there’s just division everywhere. So we avoid, avoid, avoid and sometimes our curriculum ends up devoid of a lot of things except process.” To enhance the educational experience,

the district includes hands-on learning. “We want to have rigorous content but we don’t want kids just preparing for a test,” Briggs-Hale said. “We want personalized learning, which means we want kids who know the outcome up front.” The state standards are a guideline to tell kids what they are going to be able to do and know, he said. “What do they need to get there? And when you ask kids that question - I don’t care if they’re from a low socioeconomic status or high, they rise up to answer that question,” he said. “So we’re being very careful about formative assessment. You don’t need a paper/pencil test to give kids feedback; you just need a lot of expert teachers. We want curiosity to be as big as perfect scores.” In an often confusing world, Briggs-Hale credits the students with an innate sense of curiosity. “Kids know very well that content is everywhere; it’s changing our role from just delivering content to being teachers of thinking and discernment,” he said. “Otherwise, we’re going to be irrelevant.”

Cahill keeps alive lost art By Pat Hill

phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com Signs that recall another era, a time when the American landscape was distinguished by landmarks painted by hand, Jeff Cahill creates his artistry in Woodland Park. Cahill’s clients are collectors of the past, keepers of an age when Standard Oil was king of all the nation’s oil companies. Cahill’s workshop rings with names famous back then in the early 20th century - Esso Oil (which sold fuel on the East Coast), Gillette Tires, Red Headed Oil and Gasoline, Purol Pep and Speed Wing, for instance. In a nod to the Internet and the way things are today, most of Cahill’s clients purchase the original posters on eBay, with the idea of memorializing signs according to the old-fashioned way. Cahill’s signs are painted on metal canvases, steel, aluminum, or bronze. His art is a throwback to a time when 98 percent of signs were hand-painted. Today, the statistic is reversed as signs created on vinyl by the computer are easier, faster and cheaper. “So we’ve totally flipped the whole thing around,” Cahill said. “Nobody is learning the artistry anymore.” The craft is demanding, takes up to four years to develop the hand-eye coordination as well as the muscle power to wield the brush. A Cahill sign, on an old window with let-

tering in gold leaf, hangs in the American Sign Museum in Cincinnati, Ohio. After winning an award for the work, Cahill donated the sign to the museum.

Cahill learned the craft as a teenager, beginning with pin-striping on race cars. In 1976, he opened Quality Signs & Designs in in Colorado Springs. Today, he creates

his signs from his workshop in Woodland Park. “This craft is so satisfying I’ll work `til I die,” he said.

Barber launches Mighty Moms By Pat Hill phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com Doloretta Barber has taken on another project for the families of the military in Woodland Park. Volunteer with Welcome Home Warrior, Barber has widened her scope to include the Mighty Moms of Walter Reed. The Mighty Moms are mothers of wounded American soldiers who go to Walter Reed to support and help care for their sons and daughters being treated in the hospital. Some of them have been there for three and four years, Barber said. To raise awareness of the need, Barber and the volunteers at Welcome Home War-

rior, a nonprofit organization founded by Donna Finicle, have initiated a Christmas Card Drive. The Christmas cards are available for a minimum $5 donation. The cards are printed and donated by Wildflower Promotions, Barber’s business. All of the proceeds from the sale go to Welcome Home Warrior. “While we can’t go to Walter Reed and care for soldiers, we can lend a hand to those in our community,” Barber said. To purchase the cards, call 687-6542 or email doloretta.b1@gmail.com. The cards are also available at the Olla Terve Center in Gold Hill Square North or by calling Finicle at 439-3621.

Legal notice forgotten; funds given By Pat Hill

phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com Stopped short of introducing the 2015 budget by political watchdogs in the audience, Green Mountain Falls’ trustee Michael Butts bowed to the criticism of Gail Gerig and Mac Pitrone. “I’m afraid you’re remiss. There’s been no public hearing,” Pitrone said. According to state statute, municipalities with budgets more than $50,000 must post a legal notice in the paper of record 15

editions of the race held here.” Colorado Springs hosted a stage in three of the four editions of the USA Pro Challenge races since it began in 2011. Woodland Park hosted a stage this past August, and has also had a stage come through town one other year. The event draws some of the greatest professional bicycle races in the world, including those that have won at the Tour de France, the Olympic Games and other top races in Europe. The 2014 USA Pro Challenge saw 128 of the best professional cyclists in the world compete in the toughest professional cycling race in the U.S. over the course of seven days, Aug. 18-24. Levi Leipheimer won in 2011, Christian Vande Velde took first in 2012 and Aspen resident Tejay van Garderen earned the yellow jersey as overall champion the past two years. “We look forward to returning to the (Pikes Peak region) in the near future, and our executive team is currently studying potential routes for 2016 and 2017,” said USA Pro Cycling Co-Chairman Shawn Hunter. The 2015 race is scheduled to begin Aug. 17 in Steamboat Springs, and conclude six days later with a stage from Golden to Den-

days before adopting the next year’s budget, Gerig said, reading from a state document. In this case, the legal paper of record is the Pikes Peak Courier. “The 15 days allows the public to review the budget and have the opportunity for selection of the budget and to protest any item they’d like to,” Gerig said. “That budget can’t be presented until 15 days after it’s published.” Not only was the announcement not in the legal section of the paper, Gerig said,

but the proposed budget posted on the town’s website was not balanced. According to Colorado State Statute, municipal, county and state budgets must be balanced. Butts requested advice from the town’s attorney, Matt Krob. As a result, Krob, Butts, Mayor Lorrie Worthey and trustee Chris Quinn conferred privately. “She was correct,” said Butts, after the confab. “We will publish it and have a special meeting to approve the budget.” According to the legal section of The

Courier, the budget hearing will be Dec. 30 in town hall. Unlike the city of Woodland Park and the county of Teller, the town of Green Mountain Falls does not publish a legal notice of their meetings. In other news, Henry Yankowski, director of Pikes Peak Regional Building Department, brought a check for $2,991, a gift to the town and a reimbursement of the permit fees for the new town hall. Police Chief Tim Bradley report that his office had received $31,436.97 in donations.

ver. The race has finished in Denver each year. Next year’s Pro Challenge has a decidedly ski-town feel with stops in Arapahoe Basin, Copper Mountain, Aspen and Breckenridge. The 2015 Pro Challenge will have a mix of new and prior host cities. The stages of the 2015 USA Pro Challenge include: Stage 1: Monday, Aug. 17 - Steamboat Springs Circuit Race Stage 2: Tuesday, Aug. 18 - Steamboat Springs to Arapahoe Basin Stage 3: Wednesday, Aug. 19 - Copper Mountain Resort to Aspen Stage 4: Thursday, Aug. 20 - Aspen to Breckenridge Stage 5: Friday, Aug. 21 - Breckenridge Individual Time Trial Stage 6: Saturday, Aug. 22 - To be announced Stage 7: Sunday, Aug. 23 - Golden to Denver Additional details regarding the exact start and finish locations of the 2015 race, as well as the specific, detailed route will be announced next spring. Earlier this fall, Pro Challenge officials said that after traveling to 10 host cities for the official stage starts and finishes - and passing through many other notable towns along the way — the estimated economic impact of the race to Colorado was $130 million. The study was done by Sponsorship Science, a global sports research firm.

According to the study, 56 percent of spectators claimed they would not have traveled to the state at this time if it were not for the race. And with that, 70.9 percent stated they are likely to return to watch the race next year. The race received coverage totaling 30

hours on NBC, NBCSports and Universal Sports in the U.S. Additionally, through 40 hours of international coverage, the race was seen in more than 175 countries and territories around the world.

Woodland Park boys host Discovery Canyon in first home game of season First-year basketball coach Geniessse used to coach Discovery Canyon By Danny Summers

dsummers@coloradocommunitymedia.com It’s not often that a non-league high school basketball game in early December is dripping with drama, but such is the case with the Dec. 11 matchup between Woodland Park and Discovery Canyon. Not only will host Woodland Park be looking for its first win of the season (the Panthers are 0-4), its new coach - John Paul Geniesse - is going up against the program he led to the state tournament just two seasons ago. Geniesse started the Discovery Canyon program from scratch in 2007 and remained there through the 2012-13 season. During his final campaign, the Thunder posted a school-best 17-8 record and advanced to the second round of the Class 4A state playoffs. “There will be some emotion involved with this game,” Geniesse said with a smile. “I hope our fans come out and support us and expect us to play at a high level.” Geniesse’s departure from Discovery Canyon (he left to become an assistant coach at Doane College in Crete, Nebraska) spelled disaster for the Thunder program. Discovery Canyon fell on tough times last winter. George German was hired to replace Geniesse, but the team floundered and finished with a 5-18 record - its worst record in school history. Meanwhile, Geniesse decided college was not his cup of tea - for the time being - and returned to Colorado, where he was hired to be Woodland Park’s new coach in May. “I am very happy to be back in this area coaching high school basketball again,” Geniesse said. Discovery Canyon replaced German with Al Blanc, one of the most successful coaches in the history of Colorado high school basketball. Blanc was brought into to restore order to what had become a dicey situation. With 42 years as a head coach under his belt, the 65-year-old Blanc is more than capable of getting Thunder turned around and headed in the right direction. “We’re trying to change the culture around here and be the best we can,” Blanc said. “We’re striving to be the best we can be.” Blanc’s resume will cause just about anybody to take a second, third and fourth look. The coach has 626 career victories to his name and numerous trips to the state tournament. Discovery Canyon is Blanc’s eighth stop at the high school level. He coached at Harrison the previous two seasons, compiling an 18-28 record. Harrison won both its games against Woodland Park last season during Class 4A Metro League action. Prior to Harrison, Blanc spent three years at Coronado, where he directed the Cougars to a 39-31 record and a couple of victories in the state tournament. “Coach is a student of the game and he’s been around it a lot longer than any of us,” said Discovery Canyon senior Jacob Hein. “We all respect his process and are going along with what he has to say.” All but one of the varsity players Geniesse coached during his tenure at Dis-

‘I am very happy to be back in this area coaching high school basketball again.’ John Paul Geniesse covery Canyon have graduated. Senior Alexis Sotomayor is the only player on this year’s Thunder roster who played for Geniesse. “I was really surprised when he came back because I thought he would end up coaching at the college level for as long as possible,” Sotomayor said. Sotomayor added that he and his Discovery Canyon teammates plan to play with a lot of emotion when they meet up with Woodland Park. “I think we have something to prove and we want to go out there and play our best game,” Sotomayor said. “Coach Geniesse knows how we all play, so we have to make sure we don’t go back to bad habits he knows he can exploit.” Geniesse is familiar with most of the Thunder team, however, having worked with them while they were in the junior varsity and C squad programs at the school. Discovery Canyon lost its first game this season to Denver South, 100-75. The Thunder trailed 34-9 at the end of the first quarter, but the two teams played even the rest of the way. “I was impressed with the way we played, considering a lot of our guys didn’t play spring ball, summer ball or fall ball,” Blanc said.

Woodland Park girls’ basketball team revamped and retooled Panthers will play a more up-tempo style this season By Danny Summers

dsummers@coloradocommunitymedia.com Kris Kemp had already been serving in the Woodland Park girls’ basketball program when she took over as the head coach last spring. Her familiarity with the players, and many years coaching club ball, were some of the main reasons why she landed the job. Kemp didn’t wait long to implement her up-tempo style of play. The varsity took first place in their bracket at the Colorado State University-Pueblo camp last June, and built upon that success with a strong summer program by winning a tournament at Buena Vista. “We had a great springboard coming to this season,” Kemp said. “I think the girls have a lot of confidence and you are seeing it on the court.” The Panthers lost their season opener, 74-60, to Pueblo West on Dec. 2. While Kemp would have preferred Woodland Park be on the winning side of the ledger, she saw a lot of positives. “Pueblo West is a very good team,” Kemp said. “We played with them and never let up.” Playing in her first varsity game, Woodland Park sophomore guard Mackenzie Porter scored a game-high 29 points, while Kemp’s daughter, Katelyn (a senior) added 11. “We’re not afraid to shoot the ball,” the coach said. “That’s a different offensive philosophy than in years past. If they have an open shot I want them to shoot.”

The Difference is Legendary

**READY FOR A DIFFERENT, LOWER FEE STRUCTURE? SOMETIMES, YOU GET MORE THAN WHAT YOU PAY FOR!**

The Woodland Park girls’ basketball team has six seniors. Back row from left to right is Lexie Comer, Darian Sanfelice, Katelyn Kemp and Jeannette Worscheck. Front row left to right is Jenny Sells and Katie Stunkard. Kemp has her players working on a lot of shooting drills during practices, as well as offensive rebounds and put backs “Sometimes that extra dribble can get you into trouble,” she said. “I want us to shoot if we are in range.” The Panthers have a good mix of senior leadership and underclassmen. In addition to Katelyn Kemp, the other seniors on the team include Lexie Comer, Katie Stunkard, Jeanette Worscheck, Darian Sanfelice and Jenny Sells. Woodland Park hasn’t had a winning season for many years. The Panthers were 5-18 in 2013-2014 under David Graf. Graf coached the team to a 26-112 record in six seasons. In 2007-2008 Woodland Park was 2-18 under Roger Duroux. The last time a Woodland Park team won more than five games in a season was 2006-2007 when Clint Johnston coached the club to a 9-14 record. Despite years of disappointment, Kris Kemp believes this year’s team cannot only have a winning record, but qualify for the state tournament. “Our motto this year is `We Believe,’” Kemp said. “We’re going to make the state tournament. I’m even crazy enough to believe we can beat Mesa Ridge.” Mesa Ridge competes with Woodland Park in the Class 4A Metro League and is the defending state champion.

Porter was on the junior varsity team last season. Photos by Paul Magnuson “Our biggest competition in league this year will be Mesa Ridge, Sierra and Canon City,” Kemp said. “We’re preparing as if we’re going to compete with those teams and make the state tournament.” Woodland Park has three game remaining before Christmas break; Bishop Machebeuf (Dec. 9), Pueblo County (Dec. 16) and Discovery Canyon (Dec. 19).

And, as usual, you prove that when it comes to a challenge, you have what it takes to take it on.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Best not to ignore those doubts about an upcoming decision. Instead, recheck the facts you were given to make sure nothing important was left out. A weekend surprise awaits you. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) No time for a catnap -- yet. You might still have to straighten out one or two factors so that you can finally assure yourself of the truth about a troubling workplace situation. Stay with it. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) News from an old friend could lead to an unexpected (but nonetheless welcome) reunion with someone who had once been very special in your life. Be open to the possibilities. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) It might be time for a family council. The sooner those problems are resolved, the sooner you can move ahead with your holiday preparations. Don’t let the opportunity pass you by. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Take some time out to give more attention to a personal relationship that seems to be suffering from a sense of emotional neglect. Provide that much-needed reassurance. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Cheer up. That unusual circumstance that might faze most people can be handled pretty well by the savvy Sagittarian. Look at it as an opportunity rather than an obstacle. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Someone you believe has hurt you in the past might now need your help. Reaching out could be difficult. But the generous Goat will be able to do the right thing, as always. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Prioritizing is an important part of your pre-holiday scheduling. Try to give time both to your workday responsibilities and those personal matters you might have neglected. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) With the vestiges of your anger about that painful incident fading, you can now focus all your energy on the more positive aspects of your life, including that personal situation.

“Trust Us!” Without public notices, the government wouldn’t have to say anything else.

Public notices are a community’s window into the government. From zoning regulations to local budgets, governments have used local newspapers to inform citizens of its actions as an essential part of your right to know. You know where to look, when to look and what to look for to be involved as a citizen. Local newspapers provide you with the information you need to get involved.
