Tamarac scores county offices By Pat Hill
phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com Goodbye Manor Court and the Cobblestone building, hello to the Tamarac Business Center. With the stroke of a pen, Teller County commissioners agreed to combine the county offices in Woodland Park into one site on N. Colo. 67. The move ends a tradition of conducting county business in both buildings. From Aug. 1 on, Teller County residents will renew their drivers’ licenses, check in at the building/planning department, visit Social Services or the extension office in the Tamarac Center. “One of the first things I got involved with as a commissioner was looking for efficient and inexpensive ways to get out of leasing those two buildings,” said commission chair Dave Paul, speaking at the meeting March 13. Originally owned by the county, the two buildings were traded to the State Land Board. “We’ve been renting them at what was a very favorable situation,” Paul said. “But as the market began to reduce rates, the rent became average.” Two years ago the county tried to buy back the two buildings, expecting to save around $30,000 a year, Paul said, adding that the land board directors were not interested in discussing a deal. Under the current lease the county is responsible for maintenance. “And those buildings are getting old and have had issues,” he added. “Tamarac will provide a much more professional environment.” There’s a bonus involved in the move. “This is going to save us about $57,000 a year over what we’re paying now,” Paul said. “Had we been able to buy those buildings we would have seen a savings but we are not going to be responsible for the maintenance of Tamarac - we will have some responsibilities for cleaning and general upkeep.”
Teller County offices in Woodland Park will be combined in the Tamarac Business Center. As a result, Manor Court and the Cobblestone Building will no longer be the place to renew driver’s licenses or visit Social Services. Photo by Pat Hill
Local SWAT team honored by FBI By Pat Hill
phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com In the zenith of gratitude ceremonies three FBI agents paid tribute to the SWAT team, a volunteer unit that includes lawenforcement officers from the Teller County Sheriff’s Office and Woodland Park Police Department. The team helped capture the fugitive Timothy Vigil who fled to Teller County Dec. 27 in an attempt to escape arrest in Colorado Springs. Sheriff Mike Ensminger introduced the ceremony at the Ute Pass Cultural Center. “The team works hard at what they try to achieve, whether it’s emergency call-out, partnering with our community members or educating our citizens,” Ensminger said. “I watched the operation from beginning to end. It was probably the smoothest errorfree operation I’ve ever had a chance to witness.” Special Agent Jon Cronan addressed the team. “I came out here with one other guy on Dec. 27; three people had kidnapped two men, tortured and held them for ransom, tied `em up inside the house,” Cronan said. “They had every intention of killing them after they got the ransom.” But the captives escaped and reported that the three men had left the house in POSTAL ADDRESS
Teller County Sheriff ’s deputies and Woodland Park Police Department, members of the Emergency Response Team, were honored by Sheriff Mike Ensminger along with three representatives of the FBI in a ceremony March 10. The team, along with the FBI, captured Timothy Vigil Dec. 27 in Teller County. Vigil was on the lam for kidnapping, torture and ransom in Colorado Springs. Photo by Pat Hill Colorado Springs. “The men said that Timothy Vigil was the one to watch,” Cronan said. “We were just following leads and told Commander (Jason) Mikesell that we’d be in the area.” From tips, the FBI learned that Vigil was holed up in a house in Divide. Mikesell called in the SWAT team. “There’s no way in the world we were going to be able to extract this guy inside this house with all his buddies, their guns and all the other things they had inside this house where they had bar-
ricaded themselves,” Cronan said. While the team’s detective worked on a search warrant other detectives canvassed neighborhoods trying to develop probable cause for the warrant. “The team went out in this field and it’s freezing cold, dogs are barking, people are coming outside their houses and we’re sitting out there shivering for hours,” Cronan said. “These are volunteers; I was struck at how professional these guys were. This is not anything out of the ordinary for these men and women; they did

Former Deputy outlines platorm By Uriah Speight My name is Uriah Speight and I am a former Teller County Sheriff Deputy seeking to be on the ballot for the Republican primary. I believe I present a unique candidacy in the fact that I am the only candidate who has worked for the Teller County Sheriff’s Office as a deputy and a supervisor (corporal), placing me in a position to understand the needs firsthand of the deputies (having worked with and supervised them directly) and the community. This is necessary because the Teller County Sheriff’s Office has been plagued by extremely frustrating and disappointing levels of deputy turnover rate for several years now. Some of this is due in part to the higher wages offered by some of the surrounding agencies but many of the deputies who have either left on their own accord or been forced out over the recent years, will tell you that the negative politics, inconsistent discipline and low morale play a large role in their departure. Many have personally told me that they enjoyed working for a smaller agency on many levels and would have stayed for less pay if it wasn’t for the disconnect between upper levels of administration and the deputies, citing they simply did not believe the administration cared whether or not experienced law enforcement officers left, taking their desperately needed experience with them. The lack of experienced law enforcement officers hurts the community when life-changing decisions are made that impact the lives of Teller County’s citizens. I also believe that I offer something unique to politics in general. Honestly, I can’t offer the voters a squeaky clean and perfect background but I can offer them an up front and honest candidate who has learned valuable lessons. I have made my share of mistakes as a law-enforcement
Uriah Speight, former Teller County Sheriff ’s Deputy, announced his candidacy for Teller County Sheriff in the November election. Courtesy photo officer and one of those mistakes earned me a disciplinary. It is not uncommon (although technically against policy) to notice crude humor and joking among lawenforcement officers. My past view (not current
view) had been that if this is the way they choose to blow off stress and laugh, without being in front of the public, then so be it. On one particular shift the deputies I was in charge of were joking with crude humor and instead of do-
ing the right thing and ending it, I instead chose to join the humor and a few months later received disciplinary for it. At the beginning I must admit, having seen so many deputies and supervisors get away with worse behavior but receive less punishment, I felt that my punishment of demotion and pay decrease was not warranted. It did not help that the deputy making the accusation was widely known for inappropriate humor within the agency or the fact that later this deputy would make multiple accusations in the future against other supervisors. I can’t tell you how many supervisors and deputies approached me to say that given the actions they had witnessed of others as well as the accusing individual, they could not understand what had happened. At the end of the day I had to realize that, regardless of whether or not everyone else was doing it or receiving punishment equal to their actions, I had to accept responsibility for my role and the choices I made. My action also went against my own personal belief in how God wants us to live. This particular mistake was embarrassing and I have to admit I was not sure if I could do this because I did not want my mistakes to be publicly noticed, but after much prayer and thought, I decided that my mistakes did not outweigh the needs that I witnessed at the Sheriff’s Office during my employment and the positive changes I believe I can bring. I have been approached by many ex-deputies as well as current deputies and encouraged greatly to open up to the public about the state of the sheriff’s office and make this attempt to run. I do not believe one individual can shoulder blame for the mess. I do not believe the current sheriff needs to be dragged through the mud over this since the culture dates back long before his swearing in, but I can tell you the future for
the agency can be bright with the correct attitude changes starting at the top. I acknowledge this is an uphill battle and it will take every resource to get my message to the voters of our county but I was brought up to believe that if you are unhappy with your situation, don’t complain about it, do something about it! That is exactly what I would like to ask the voters of Teller County for an opportunity to do.
Political stances • pro-gun: I oppose the recent gun legislation. Citizens do not need the government to tell them how to defend themselves • pro-life: It is important to me that we defend the rights of the unborn as strongly as we fight for the rights of the living • pro-individual liberty: I don’t believe the government is very good at doing very many things. I believe more decisions need to be put back into the citizens’ hands and out of the government’s. • pro-God (and religious freedom): My faith is the most important aspect of my life. I see myself as a Christian who makes mistakes often but is striving to correct and learn from my mistakes and live the life God wants me to. • pro-traditional marriage: While I support individual freedoms as Americans, I cannot support what the Bible clearly defines as a sin. This does not mean that I believe the gay and lesbian community should be treated any less than any other human beings! I just simply cannot be a part of the growing movement of individuals jumping on this support train as it conflicts with my biblical beliefs but I can say that as Sheriff I would not deny any gay or lesbian their right to be afforded the same protection from harm that we all deserve as human beings. In fact I believe it is very important to demonstrate love and compassion as I have needed in my life toward me

Gerig pokes holes in past opinions By Pat Hill
phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com In the second-to-last meeting before voters decide on a changing of the guard in Green Mountain Falls April 1, one resident questioned the legality of election coverage in various media sources. “I have read a lot of ugly and untrue statements in the newspaper and various other forums; I was just wondering — am I free to say anything I want, write anything I want about anybody, with impunity?” said Katharine Guthrie to the town attorney Matt Krob. The First Amendment is broad, Krob said, at the meeting March 4. “To the extent of what you say is true or not, I would say don’t publish anything that is not true. But libel and slander are purely a civil matter,” he said. However, when a board member, employee or representative, acting on behalf
of the town, makes a statement that is untrue, the courts are usually going to say the statement is coming from a citizen, Krob added. “The board puts itself at a risk of liability if it starts responding to letters to the editor when citizens say things about other citizens.” In a town torn by rancor and division for the past two years, the resignation of Marshal Tim Bradley, a result of the board’s eliminating his position, has some of the residents all riled up. However, Gail Gerig, former residenttrustee who helped design the town’s comprehensive plan in 1982, took issue with just how many citizens consider a marshal’s department vital to the town’s safety. “I spent the last week reviewing for hours the comprehensive plan and the surveys starting in 1982, 1996, 2007, 2011,” she said. “I would address the specific issue of the marshal’s department.” Over the years, just 30 percent of peo-
ple who responded to the surveys felt the marshal’s department was beneficial, Gerig said. “You do not get a majority opinion through that mechanism and I would say that many opinions you hear at these meetings are still individual opinions.” In reviewing the surveys, the main complaints in the town were about barking dogs, junk and bears, she said. “The issue of having ‘police’ did not come out in these reports,” Gerig said. “In 2011 under ‘improved governmental efficiency and effectiveness, one line item come out — and many on the board are familiar with it - and that goal was to establish a regional law-enforcement district,” Gerig said. “I want to thank this board in addressing these issues that were more than 30 years old.” Recently, some citizens have complained about the size of the new town hall to replace the historic building that was destroyed by arson in 2012.
Gerig took that one on, too. Going back in history, the comprehensive-plan committee in 1982 listed the inadequacies of the town hall, she said, among them, that the hall is inadequate, has no offices, meeting room of fire-proofing. “I would like to thank the majority of the board members here who have developed a plan for the new town hall,” she said. “You used foresight; I commend all of you for a good plan.” Near the end of the meeting, mayor pro tem Jane Newberry, who is running to unseat Mayor Lorrie Worthey, challenged her opponent to a debate. “I really appreciate that opportunity but for the last two years I’ve debated, you, in particular, at every board meeting,” Worthey said. “I don’t see the reason or the necessity to debate.”
Masons promote Child ID packets By Pat Hill phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com In a time when 113,400 children between the ages of 6 and 11 are missing in the United States, the Mason Lodge in Teller County is part of a nationwide project to be part of the solution. Four times a year, the Masons issue child ID packets that include photographs, fingerprints, fingernail clippings and hair roots. “It helps the sheriff’s office if, God forbid, there is a missing child,” said Paul
Thies, who heads up the project in Teller County. The service is free and the packets stay with the parents. “This is information that is readily available and instantly grabbed when the parents are under stress,” Thies said. Parents are invited to renew the packet every year as the child grows and changes. “We have 9,000 lodges around the country that perform this program,” Thies said. “In the last 10 years they’ve produced 1.5 million packets.”
The Sheriff’s open house July 12 is one of the four venues. “The Masons are a big organization that has been known to service our community in so many different areas,” said Sheriff Mike Ensminger. “The ID packets are something specific that could be a real help to the community.” The packet includes a large version for law enforcement, wallet size to have available when traveling and information on measures parents can take to protect their children. Commander Jason Mikesell, who has
led a team that found a lost child this month, said, “The open house is a partnership through the sheriff’s office; it shows a clear presence about what we are doing with the community.” The four venues to pick up a packet are: Family Fun Day June 7 at the Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center, the Woodland Park Old Fashioned Fourth of July in Memorial Park, at the Sheriff’s Open House July 12 and Oktoberfest in Woodland Park. The Masons recommend changing the packets every two years.
School board transparency bill dies By Vic Vela
vvela@colorado communitymedia.com Legislation aimed at creating greater transparency for what happens behind closed doors at school board meetings will not happen this year. A bill sponsor on March 12 asked a Senate commit-
tee to indefinitely postpone the legislation, meaning that the bill is dead this year. The legislation would have required that all conversations that take place during school board executive sessions be recorded, including those involving attorney-client discussions. Sen. Mary Hodge, DBrighton, said she had

enough votes for House Bill 1110 to clear the Senate Judiciary Committee. However, getting it past the full Senate was going to be an entirely different story. Hodge — who sponsored the bill with Rep. Cherylin Peniston, D-Westminster — said the bill was one vote short of the support needed to pass the Senate. That vote belonged to Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver. Steadman said he had concerns that the bill only targeted school boards and no other governing bodies, such as city councils. But Steadman’s “overriding” concerns had to do with attorney-client matters. Current law already requires that school board executive sessions be recorded. The bill would have
expanded that requirement to include attorney-client conversations. All Republicans and a few Democrats voted against the bill in the House, in part over concerns that lawyers wouldn’t be able to have effective conversations with their clients, if there was a possibility that those discussions could be made public. “I think there’s some concerns for me about the precedent it would have set,” said Steadman, who is an attorney. Under the bill, recordings of executive sessions would have been stored and would be made available through a court petition process. A judge would have listened to a recording upon a filer’s request and would have been tasked
with determining whether that information should be made public. The bill was a response to recent controversies over transparency issues involving school boards in Douglas and Jefferson counties. The Douglas County School Board has been the subject of criticism over its use of executive sessions. The conservative board has pushed for controversial reforms, including those that would limit the influence of teachers’ unions. New conservative members of the Jefferson County Public Schools Board of Education have also received criticism over transparency issues. In December the three new members approved a lawyer’s contract without disclosing the

terms during a public meeting. Potential misuse on the part of school board members is a concern that is shared by Sen. Linda Newell, D-Littleton, the vice chairwoman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. But Newell said that although she would have voted the bill out of committee, she was torn over how she would ultimately vote once it got to the Senate floor. “I am a big transparency fan and I absolutely believe that there are potential misuses going on,” she said. “But it really is a tough bill.” Hodge said she is disappointed over the outcome of the bill, but that she expects this effort to be taken up again next year.

opinions / yours and ours
Connected? Who is related? In history, you can never be completely sure what and who is related to whom and with what. As St. Patrick Day approaches, I submit the following. It is up to you to call ‘Blarney.’ “As North Denver’s pioneer parish, St Patrick’s has an exotic history involving a bitter struggle between Bishop Matz and a pastor powerful enough to twist the 20th Street Viaduct – Joseph P. Carrigan, who also inaugurated festivities that have evolved into Denver’s popular St. Patrick’s Day parade,” according ‘Dr. Colorado’ Thomas J. Noel. Michael J. Carmody first said mass in the fire station at 15th and Boulder Street but by 1885, Father Carrigan became the steady pastor and almost immediately set to work expanding the parish. Carrigan had previously served at St. Mary’s in Breckenridge and Denver as well as St. Ann. “North Denverites in those days were separated from the city by the South Platte River and a maze of railroad tracks, where trains killed and maimed people every year. Further more, the 15th Street bridge over the Platte was so rickety that the city posted a notice at either end: ‘No vehicles drawn by more than one horse are allowed to cross the bridge in opposite directions at the same time,’” wrote Noel in Colorado
Catholicism. “Father Carrigan and his parishioners joined the crusade to build a viaduct from downtown to North Denver as a safe crossing over river and rail lines. Mayor Robert W. Speer cleverly persuaded the railroads to put up most of the cost of the viaduct. Completed in 1911 for $500,000, this threequarter-mile-long trussed viaduct left Denver at 20th Street but landed in North Denver at 33rd Avenue – at the front door of St. Patrick’s. Parishioners praised God for what is now the oldest and largest trussed viaduct in Colorado, and North Denverites still call its bend ‘Carrigan’s Curve,’” according to Noel. Fighting City Hall was one thing, but Father Carrigan felt compelled to take on the Bishop as well. He was publicly critical of Bishop Matz diocese almost immediately
after he succeeded Bishop Machebeuf, some saying he wanted an Irish bishop instead of another Frenchman. “In defiance of his bishop, Father Carrigan, in 1907, undertook the erection of a new church. After touring Spanish missions of California founded by the Franciscan friar, Junipero Serra, Father Carrigan became enamored with the mission revival style. With architects Harry James Manning and F.C. Wagner, he designed a beautiful stone church with asymmetrical front bell towers connected by a curvilinear parapet. An arcaded cloister along Pecos Street connected the Church with a large courtyard and rectory. Fund-raising difficulties and Father Carrigan’s ongoing feud with the bishop prolonged construction for three years. Priest and parishioners finally celebrated completion of the new St. Patrick’s, a block northwest of the old church, in May 1909. A year later, Bishop Matz reassigned Father Carrigan to St. Stephen parish in Glenwood Springs. This solution followed a rather uncivil civil court case, numerous appeals to Rome, and a scandalous public fight from the pulpits,” wrote Noel. Father Carrigan is given credit for initiating St. Pat’s fundraising gala the old Broadway Theater in which it’s mostly Irish congrega-
tion donned costumes, played bagpipes and celebrated in collaboration with the Daughters of Erin, and the Ancient Order of Hibernians as early as 1885. “A more militant approach was taken on March 17, 1902, according to the Denver Times, by Captain Stephen J. Donleavy, secretary of the Denver Fire and Police Board: He announced plans to recruit a volunteer army in Colorado in order to invade England and free Ireland,” says Noel. Anti-immigrant organizations like the Ku Klux Klan wielded substantial power during the 1920s in Colorado, and ethnic celebrations such as St. Patrick’s Day fell by the wayside at the risk of appearing as “un-American.” The St. Patrick’s tradition was reportedly revived in 1962, when Denver Post columnist Red Fenwick and his “Evil Companions Club” staged a march. “Witnesses claim it was a short march: the paraders walked out of Duffy’s Shamrock Restaurant, went around the block, and back to the bar,” according to the Post. By 1974, the revived Denver March 17 celebration was claiming it was the second largest parade in the U.S.
George Karl should still be coaching the Nuggets I called former Denver Nuggets coach George Karl at his home last week and we chatted about a number of things; including the possibility of him returning to the NBA sidelines. The 62-year-old Karl was frank about his desire to lead an NBA team again. “I’d love to coach one more time,” said Karl while his daughter, Kaci, was playing in the background. “My plan was to coach three of four more years in Denver and then ride off into the sunset.” Karl coached the Nuggets for nine seasons; the longest stint of any of the five clubs he directed in a long and storied career. The Nuggets made the playoffs in all of Karl’s seasons, advancing to the Western Conference Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers in 2009. But apparently Karl’s five 50-plus win seasons with the Nuggets and career regular season winning percentage of .599 wasn’t good enough for Nuggets owner-
ship. Neither were his 22 playoffs appearances, 21 winning seasons and 1,211 victories (regular season and playoff). The Nuggets, instead, focused on Karl’s failures in the playoffs. His Denver teams lost in the first round nine times. They fired him last June with one year remaining on his contract. Denver hired Karl on Jan. 27, 2005. He orchestrated one of the most successful eras in Nuggets history. He had a regularseason record of 423-257 with the Nuggets, which ranks second in franchise history to

It is said that coaches are hired to be fired. But I believe Karl should still be coaching the Nuggets. As a fan, I would much rather have my team win 50 to 60 games every season and advance to the playoffs than to hope for a great season every now and then. Sure, it would be nice of the Nuggets played for a championship. But the NBA, probably more than any of the four major sports, has been dominated by a handful of teams for much of the past 35 seasons. Since 1980, six teams (Los Angeles Lakers, Chicago, Boston, San Antonio, Detroit and Miami) have combined to 30 championships. It looks like Miami might win its third consecutive title this season. The odds are pretty good that Karl will be back coaching an NBA team in the next year or two. And I would be willing to guess that he will have that team competing for a championship in a very short time. I just wish he was still coaching the Nuggets.

Doug Moe (432). Karl was named the 2012-13 NBA Coach of the Year after leading the Nuggets to a team-record 57 games and the No. 3 seed in the West. Karl, while considered a brilliant motivator, strategist and evaluator of talent, has a long history of having his teams bow out of the playoffs early. Six other times his clubs lost in the first round. The only time he reached the Finals was with the Seattle Supersonics in 1996. They lost to Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls in six games. So, how are the Nuggets doing these days, you ask? At last check they were 27-36 and in fourth place in the Northwest Division. They are 10 games out of a playoff spot. I am a Karl fan. I love the fact that his Nuggets teams were fun to watch and competitive. I appreciated that they were in the hunt for a division title nearly every season. I looked forward to cheering them on in the playoffs.

In 1914, a story surfaced in the Cripple Creek newspaper that was quite curious. It talked of a strange gent who lived up on the hill above Cripple Creek. The newspaper called him “The Hermit of Tenderfoot Hill.” He kept to himself, and rarely spoke to anyone. The unknown gent seemed to be about 50 years old. He was known to the residents of Midway, a little community high in the hills. He had a cabin near the Jerry Johnson Mine. He had been in that cabin since about 1910, and was quiet and law abiding. A few attempts to learn more about him were about as successful as trying to get him to leave. The earliest anyone could remember was the one morning when he was seen walking through Midway toward Victor. The next day he was seen on the same path. This became nearly an every day event, even in bad weather. A few attempted to raise a conversation with him, but he rarely did more than just keep walking. He did not respond to questions or comments, even to smile or nod his head. In bad weather, his routine changed little. A few of the curious saw him in Victor, walking the streets, occasionally picking up a stray cigar or cigarette stub from the sidewalk. A few of the Midway folk had visited the cabin, while he was away. In it were only a few things, a broken down table and chair, a mattress and pile of blankets served as a bed, a washtub, and a box of ragged bits of clothing were
about all there was. The washtub served as a stove, as it was often filled with the remains of a fire. He occasionally was seen with lighter or heavier clothing, as the seasons changed, and other than having long scraggly hair and beard, he was fairly well dressed. No food was ever seen in his cabin, nor could anyone remember seeing him anywhere eating. A few reported seeing him near a few of the mines during meal time. The biggest challenge for those who saw him on a regular basis was to try to get a few words out of him. He solidly refused to speak, even a grunt or nod. A few miners who visited the Midway saloons had seen him late at night, but still, he never spoke. In following up on the story, there is occasional mention of him in later newspapers, but without any more information than in this story. It seems that a year or two later he just wandered away, as quietly as he had arrived. The cabin was burned in a fire in 1916, and only mention that it once had been his residence.

It’s time to spring into exercise Snow that is here today and gone tomorrow, rumors of black bears starting to stir and the crack of a bat hitting a hardball all herald the onset of springtime in the Rockies. The days are longer and warmer and the urge to dust off those running shoes, hiking boots, golf clubs, bicycle, western saddle or gardening tools grows more pressing every day … it’s time to spring into action! However, if you’ve been in hibernation this winter slumbering in the exercise doldrums telling yourself it’s too cold, too icy and too dark to exercise, you may be finding it a little difficult to get going again. Here are some tips to help you get out the door and keep you out of the ER. First, don’t fall prey to the number one nemesis of people returning to physical activity, which is doing too much, too soon. Don’t dust off your running shoes and go nail a 10-miler, don’t strap on your hiking boots and spend 8 hours in the
national forest, don’t show up at the golf course and play 27 holes and do not pull out your gardening tools and spend from dawn to dust in your garden. Start slowing and progress at a moderate pace. This will give your muscles, tendons and ligaments a chance to adapt to the specific movement of your activity so that the most you will experience is some mild muscle soreness and not an injury. Next, check out your gear. Do you need new athletic shoes or gardening tools that
are more forgiving on your back? Do you need to tune-up and re-grip your golf clubs or is it time for a new saddle? Never underestimate the motivational boost or safety aspect of new equipment. Make a plan for getting yourself back in shape. Set an appointment for yourself in your daily planner and keep a log of your activity, which will help keep your focused, motivated and insure you don’t do too much, too soon. The three components to manipulate, when getting yourself back into shape are frequency, duration and intensity. First on the list is frequency. Start off with 3 days a week of activity and gradually increase your frequency to 5 to 6 days a week. This will give your body a conservative schedule allowing it to respond by strengthening your tendons and ligaments and building some new muscle fibers. The next component in dusting off the
winter cobwebs is duration. Start off with a modest investment of time, such as … 9 holes of golf, a 30-minute bike ride, 3 to 4 hours of gardening, a three mile hike, or a one-hour horseback ride. Slowly and consistently increase the time you spend. If you find yourself struggling with getting going, enlist the help of a friend. Someone to ride with, hike or bike with, golf with or run with just might be the antidote to snap you out of the winter doldrums. So get moving. It’s springtime in the Rockies!

GUEST OPINION By Robert McArthur As a public employee, I am limited to what I should say during election times. However, at this moment I feel that I have nothing to lose by speaking up. I am tired of all the lies about myself, my staff and the five trustees who actually get things done in this little hamlet. Listening to how scared our “engaged” community leader is has exhausted me, I am weary from watching the manipulation of members of our fire department and the community as the misinterpretation of your local government has grown. Facebook and other media portals have become the devil’s radio, where misinformation is given credibility and offers fuel for an uncontrollable burn. In a word, the whole thing is “ridiculous.” For those of you who are not aware, there is a very critical election on April 1 in Green Mountain Falls. The Mayor and the Concerned Citizens of Green Mountain Falls appear to be attempting a hostile takeover of your municipality and if successful, all you property owners and residents are going to see some big changes, and you are not going to like them. All three of the CCGMF leaders have stated to me (either directly or in my presence) that they support the disincorporation of GMF, and have already put to motion damages that will take several years to reverse. They have implied that their wish is for El Paso County to take over the municipal operation and fold it into unincorporated Chipita Park and Cascade. Of course, no one has asked El Paso County what they think, and what services they will or will not be providing. We already know that a huge gap exists between what GMF offers and what the surrounding communities are missing. Does the CCGMF really wish to see the Gazebo Lake and the municipal pool filled in, and the parks and recreational opportunities dissipate, or are they still upset
because Dick Bratton lost the mayoral run in 2012? Then again, how can we expect the CCGMF to identify with fiscal responsibility when their intent is to bankrupt the town, made evident by recall petition applications and citizen initiative/referendum submissions, the cost of which is born on the GMF taxpayers via special elections. At a recent board of trustee meeting, one supporter even stated “It does not matter how much it costs; it only matters what the people want.” If I ran a business like that, I would be out of business very quickly. Green Mountain Falls is faced with the most important election in decades. The municipality has been operating with flatlined revenues and escalating costs for over ten years now, and has not had a good mayor for almost twenty. Finally there is a light at the end of the tunnel, someone with a torch who is unafraid and will do that which is necessary to save Green Mountain Falls from itself. If you are a registered voter in GMF and you are not voting, then you are part of the problem. For those of you who are voting, you need to think about who you are voting for, while you look at your property values. Research the candidate’s track record for helping your municipality, through grant writing and creating tangible improvements. The rest is just gas, and frankly I am tired of listening to it. This is where the rubber hits the road voters, and if the CCGMF is successful in their attempted coup d’état, it will take decades to reverse the damages done. You will get what you vote for, so quickly educate yourself and think about the immediate future. We are all depending on you, and it is the one anonymous thing you can do to help. Please, take 20 minutes and vote on April 1st.
GUEST OPINION By Sallie Clark Green Mountain Falls is fortunate to have Lorrie Worthey as town mayor. Green Mountain Falls is a friendly community, a Victorian charmer with two churches, a community pool, family activities, casual and world-class restaurants, and is a draw for summer visitors with beautiful waterfalls and hiking trails. As the El Paso County Commissioner for District 3, I am privileged to represent the Town of Green Mountain Falls. Over the years, I’ve worked with mayors and trustees and have great respect for both the town’s independent and collaborative nature. And, that collaborative approach is what Lorrie Worthey’s leadership has

OBITUARIES KoniK
Edward P. Konik
Oct. 13, 1916 – Mar. 6, 2014
Edward P. Konik of Colorado Springs, and previously Woodland Park, passed away peacefully with family at his side on March 6th, 2014. He was born in New Britain, CT on October 13, 1916 to his parents Jozef and Emilia Konik. He served in the United States Army from 1936 until 1958 earning the rank of Major. During his years of P.O.W internment in the pacific, Ed survived the Bataan Death March, in addition to, the Oryoku Maru, Enoura Maru, and Brazil Maru Hell Ships. He earned the Purple Heart with subsequent Oak Leaf Clusters and the Bronze Star. Upon retirement he settled with his family in Woodland Park, CO where he developed land and built houses. He was an early active member and
contributor to Our Lady of the Woods Catholic Church. He was preceded in death by his first wife Sharlet Hagan Konik (1922-1976) with whom he had four children. He was also preceded in death by four sisters; Helen Bukowski, Sophie Doubleday, Florence Wallace, and Cecilia Pilewski. He is survived by his sister Reggie Bowles, and his children; David Edward, Ann Sage, Teresa Osborne (Reed), and Paul Christopher; eight grandchildren, Sharlet Sage, Christopher Konik, Katie
Wilson, Andrew Wilson, Joseph Konik, Dylan Konik, Sean Malcolm Konik, and Tessa Konik. In 1979 Ed married Margaret Jordan, who survives. They settled in Colorado Springs where they enjoyed hosting many gatherings with their blended families including Marge’s children; Don Jordan (Betsy), Dave Jordan (Sue), Kathy Nimz (Curt), and Karen Densmore (Brad). Ed’s grandchildren will fondly remember his stories of being a gymnast, boxing and playing water polo in the Army, and his fondness for the accordion and Polka. They spent many joyful seasons picking peaches from his backyard orchard. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the Disabled American Veterans, www.dav.org.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor: Last issue I wrote that I’d be talking about Margaret Peterson so here goes. I’ve known Margaret for well over 25 years. I first met her when her dad was trustee for the municipal pool here in GMF. Walt treated that pool as if it was one of his kids. As a matter of fact after he died they found plans for a complete replacement pool that he had designed on his own and had been revising from time to time for years. By the way, except for the season the bath house was rebuilt, it is the longest continually operating municipal swimming pool in Colorado. After I met Walt I met Margaret’s mom, Rita. You always knew where you stood with Rita. She made no bones about saying what was on her mind. In my opinion, Rita was the impetus behind saving the annual “Bronc Day Parade.” With little help and almost no money she worked tirelessly to make the parade what it is today. So you see Margaret’s roots run deep. She has a heritage of public service to be proud of and use as a guidance tool. She is as dedicated to GMF as her dad and as honest and mindful of the town’s history as her mom. She’s just getting started and she’s got a lot to give. At last week’s board of trustees’ meeting a workshop of sorts was instituted by Mayor (un) Worthey to discuss the Marshal’s Department. It was attended by a fairly evenly mixed group of supporters and non-supporters. Nothing was accomplished. Pretty much the same people making the same arguments. Most vocif-
erous of the for the Marshal group was Dick Bratton with a prepared statement stating for the third consecutive time the same misinformation praising the marshal and running the sheriff’s department into the ground. There was a resident there who was very impressed by the fact that a sheriff’s deputy had taken the time to check on a vacationing resident’s home. Two days later I happened to stop at the entrance to town to make a phone call and encountered the same resident. As we finished our talk, a deputy drove by and we both waved. The deputy stopped and asked if we needed any help. We both apologized for causing her to stop because the wave was just recognition. We had a short conversation and discovered that she too was on her way to check on a vacation home. “It’s what we do” she said. So hats off to the department and Deputy Mindy Mangle. Real pros and a class act! I can’t impress on you more the fact that GMF is in a tiny financial box. We operate on just over $400,000 (down from around $460,000 in 2005). The town provides seven basic functions: administration, court, public works, which includes road maintenance, parks, pool and facilities management, and law enforcement. Until recently, we had three full-time employees and numerous seasonal and “as needed” part-time employees. You can imagine how difficult it is to stay inside that box. You have to pinch pennies everywhere. So you can understand my frustration when the town attorney sends us an itemized bill that includes a line item of $400
for “discussion with Mayor about mayors’ duties and responsibilities, how to run a meeting, and how to run an executive session.” Keep in mind that the attorney has only been in our employ since Jan 1 and the Mayor has been Mayor since April 2012. Also keep in mind that every trustee including the Mayor gets a handbook of basic duties and obligations at the beginning of their term in office. Also interesting is the fact that the Mayor participated in at least two workshops devoted to ethics and conduct at meetings by CIRSA, the town’s insurer, and the other by the Colorado Municipal League early in her term. Was she paying attention? I doubt it. So here she goes wasting town money on issues she should have had resolved in at least two meetings where there was certified expertise and countless reminders from board members and staff. And she still never got it. The work shops were designed as teachable moments! Now does anybody wonder why I refer to her as (un) Worthey. Sincerely Mac Pitrone GMF trustee Dear Editor: I am running for the position of trustee in Green Mountain Falls. I was a year old when my parents moved here in 1963. My parents were both involved community leaders. My father, Walter Peterson, was a trustee for many years. He was town

evacuations. Then the flash floods and local concerns over the town’s public-safety services. I first met Mayor Worthey during the Waldo Canyon Fire when she asked for assistance to visit the Type I Team Incident Command Post, so she could inform her town’s residents the specifics of the firefighting efforts. I’ve admired her perseverance to learn about municipal government, connect with other cities, towns and counties and their elected leaders, to understand the importance of networking to benefit her community. Lorrie and I walked Green Mountain Falls together with FEMA representatives after the floods last September, we toured the burn-scar area with the U.S. Forest Service to see firsthand the efforts being made in fire recovery. She’s consistently been engaged in discussions on everything from road projects to regional stormwater needs. She’s also willing to pitch in where needed and roll up her sleeves. I personally ob-
magistrate, mayor pro-tem and trustee in charge of the pool. My mother, Rita, planned many community activities including annual Halloween parties, Easter egg rolls, Yule Festival and Bronc Day. I feel that running for the position of trustee will continue the legacy of service to Green Mountain Falls that my parents started. Green Mountain Falls is my home, I wouldn’t live anywhere else. I grew up playing in the parks, swimming at the pool and tromping through the mountains that surround the town. I attended Manitou schools from kindergarten through 12th grade. When Ute Pass Elementary opened I was in the second grade. My grandson is now a kindergartener there.

served her compassion for others as Lorrie and her kids helped residents of Manitou dig out from devastating mud and debris after flash floods. During last year’s flooding and closures along U.S. 24, we connected by phone to share information about the conditions up and down the Pass. Being an effective leader is about building relationships and I know by our personal interactions that she truly has the town’s interests at heart. Her passion for public communication, open government, and her understanding of collaboration to leverage the town’s precious local resources is to be admired. While the town has been challenged with more than most mayors experience over years in service, Lorrie Worthey has been strong and caring for her community, remembering at every step of the way who put here there—the citizens of Green Mountain Falls. It is with admiration for her dedication to her community, hard work and leadership that I endorse Mayor Lorrie Worthey for re-election in Green Mountain Falls. Please join me in supporting Lorrie Worthey so she can continue as mayor to build upon her foundation of experience, important relationships and most of all, her efforts to get things done for the Town of Green Mountain Falls.
Matching Grant! Little Chapel Food Pantry has been given an amazing offer of a matching grant for $25,000 to help erect a new building to house our food pantry. Our faithful volunteers are currently working outside in every kind of weather. This building would bring them out of the cold before next winter, but we need your help! We are out of room in our current facility. In view of this amazing opportunity, we are hoping that the entire community will come together to help. If we can raise $25,000 by March 31st, we will get another $25,000 to match it. Those funds, along with the $30,000 we have already raised for the building fund, will give us enough to break ground this Spring, and to erect the two connecting steel buildings we have already had donated to us behind the current Food Pantry. A donation of any kind will help. Please make donations payable to Little Chapel Food Pantry and mark them “building fund” to make sure that it goes toward the matching grant. Send to: 69 County Road 5, Divide, CO 80814, or call us at 719-322-7610 to donate by credit or debit card. Thank you for helping us feed the hungry in Teller and Park Counties!

Green Mountain Falls Gazebo
A social monument for 126 years By Ashleigh Hollowell Contributing writer
T
he Green Mountain Falls Gazebo is listed on tellerlinks.com as a popular landmark, named “undoubtedly the most popular landmark in our town,” by greenmountainfalls.org and compared to a Norman Rockwell painting on discoverutepass.com’s list of venues, but few know the history or extent of impact this local landmark has had on the community of Green Mountain Falls. In 1888, the Green Mountain Falls Gazebo was built by the Green Mountain Falls Town and Improvement Co. The style of the gazebo represents a typical Victorian Gazebo of the 1890s, but a closer look reveals a very different paint job on the roof with symbols of a Spade, Diamond, Club and Heart. For many years the local, iconic gazebo was located on an island in the middle of the lake and only accessible by boat. The gazebo’s challenging access made any activities that occurred under the gazebo’s roof private and less likely to be detected. According to Mike Lohman of the Ute Pass Triangle Chamber of Commerce, in the late 1890s to early 1900s, the gentleman’s poker and the lady’s bridge games were held on the island under the gazebo away from those who would object to their gambling type games. The card symbols painted on the gazebo’s roof served as an indicator for those in the know of where a game could be found. The gazebo remained only accessible by boat until the 1930’s when a boardwalk was built to access it by foot. The gazebo in Green Mountain Falls no
The style of the gazebo represents a typical Victorian Gazebo of the 1890’s, but a closer look reveals a very different paint job on the roof with symbols of a Spade, Diamond, Club and Heart. The card symbols painted on the gazebo’s roof served as an indicator in the 1890’s-1900’s for those in the know of where a game could be found. Courtesy photo longer serves as an undetected refuge for card players, but many annual events and a wide variety of seasonal uses still draw a crowd. The gazebo’s circular topology provides good acoustics, diverse listening and viewing locations as well as the freedom to walk around while still being able to participate in the events, further enhancing the location’s popularity. The annual Bronc Day Festival held in August, the Thin Air National Car Show, and an An-
nual Winter Festival are just a few events that take place at the gazebo. “The typical use for a gazebo over time has been a place for social gathering and as such people are drawn to them,” Lohman said. “In many of the writings documenting the area’s history, one will find pictures of people boating on the lake and around the gazebo’s island, people gathering at the gazebo or on the lake shore listening to musical concerts, picnicking and fishing.”
During winter when the lake encompassing the gazebo is frozen, the site becomes popular for ice hockey games as well as ice skating. Green Mountain Falls does rent the gazebo to the public for weddings, parties and other social events with the charge of a fee for large gatherings: $100 per hour for residents and $200 per hour for non-residents. “The retail, restaurant and lodging businesses have experienced increased revenue during these events in the past and can expect to in the future,” Lohman added. Businesses located in close proximity to the gazebo also praise it for some of their success. “The gazebo is the jewel of the town. So many things take place there: weddings, concerts, any event. It is the center of the community. If it weren’t for the lake and the gazebo, the town would just be a boring place full of housing. I definitely credit some of our success to this location,” Ben Stevens, owner of the locally renowned Green Mountain Falls restaurant, The Pantry, said. The Pantry Restaurant is located on Lake Street, the same street the gazebo is on. The restaurant windows directly overlook the iconic gazebo and lake. “It makes the working environment more relaxed because of the scenery, and there’s a creek out back too. It’s beautiful,” Stevens said. Recent talk from Green Mountain Falls community members has involved the voiced interest in greater usage of the iconic gazebo. Possibility of hockey leagues, paddle boating, fishing contests and revival of the Winter Festival indicate the gazebo’s future popularity.

Tips and tricks for local residents By Ashleigh Hollowell Contributing writer
In a world filled with efficient technology, it is common to try and search for more efficient ways to improve tasks, ease chores, enhance health and make things run in a more effective manner with time and money being the ultimate goals to save and have a surplus of to enjoy. A common misconception is that it takes either time or money to ultimately make something more efficient in the long run. However, the efficiency of almost anything can be achieved and improved with common, low-cost, everyday household items and even just a change of habit. Ivonne Smith, para-educator at Woodland Park High School and resident, is known for being full of tips and tricks. “To clean your microwave faster, just put a bowl of water in and set the time on the microwave for about five minutes. The steam from the water will soften dried food and spills and you will be able to wipe it clean with ease,” she explained. “Also, for cleaning stubborn mineral deposits in the refrigerator or in the bathroom,
use a bowl of vinegar to coat the mineral deposits for a few hours. It will remove the mineral buildup quickly.” Patty Woods, also a local resident, recommended pouring one cup of vinegar into an empty washing machine and running a load to clean it effortlessly. “The hot water plus the vinegar will clean the washing machine entirely. Vinegar is cleaning’s best friend,” Woods said. She also proposed that pouring a small amount of hydrogen peroxide on blood stained clothing of any kind will remove it almost instantly. Aside from cleaning tips, often items needed to help accomplish tasks are broken, lost, or just used up. Running to the store right away could be an instinct, but there are helpful hints to still get the tasks accomplished temporarily and effectively without spending money right away. Running low on fire starters? Just run to the kitchen. “We use bacon grease to help start our fires.” Woodland Park resident, Pam Sirko, said. Known for low income and improvising with what items are available, college students are often in a position to find a “quick-fix” to still at-
tempting to use something without replacing it. “I’ve used cookie sheets as substitutes for lost pot lids when cooking before,” Harrison Cox, former Woodland Park resident and University of Colorado at Colorado Springs student, said. “I just didn’t have lids to fit the pots, so it was a free alternative.” Cleaning and using alternative items to accomplish tasks are not the only ways to improve efficiency in everyday tasks and experiences. Improvement can be made in cooking as well as what you ingest. In addition to previous cleaning tips mentioned, Smith also recommends drinking fresh mint tea for an upset stomach. “The freshly crushed mint leaves will soothe the stomach muscles instantly and prevent vomiting,” she explained. Additionally, Michael DeWall, local resident and assistant principal at Woodland Park High School, suggests making sure the grill is up to proper temperature putting any meat on it at all. “Frozen or not, having it up to proper temperature beforehand is best,” he said. “I also rarely clean my grill after using it. If you clean the grill right before you use it
To clean your microwave faster, just put a bowl of water in and set the time on the microwave for about five minutes. The steam from the water will soften dried food and spills and you will be able to wipe it clean with ease. Courtesy photo again and fire it up, the heat will cook off left over food and leave extra ‘grill’ flavor on your food.” Whether the task is cleaning, cooking, eating, or finding alternative methods to accomplish tasks, effectiveness and efficiency matters. A strategy or technique adopted in order to manage one’s time and daily ac-
tivities in a more efficient way in a fast-moving, technologically advanced world is beneficial. To learn more about tips and tricks to better manage daily tasks, time and use resources more efficiently, visit: http://twistedsifter.com/2013/01/50-life-hacksto-simplify-your-world/ .

Dear Editor: After attending all but two of the Town of Green Mountain Falls bimonthly meetings since September 2013 there is cause for significant concern. During the meetings Dick Bratton has dominated “citizen input” with his opinions primarily related to the issue of a marshal department. During a phone conversation I asked Mr.
Bratton why he thinks his opinion represents that of the citizens of Green Mountain Falls. He said it was reported in the 2007 survey. That survey and a later one represented 30-some percent of the population of GMF not the majority of the citizens. The citizen comments in these reports voiced complaints mainly about dogs, junk and bears. When the survey asked to name four priorities in order of importance safety and security was fourth followed by a phase “town police”. Mr. Bratton was reminded that “town police” could be in the form of a number of options. In fact in the Economic Sustainability Project report of 2011 “Establishing a regional law enforcement district” was identified to improve “Governmental/Organizational Efficiency/ Effectiveness”. At the Town meeting following our conversation Mr. Bratton again said citizens want a marshal. When I asked him who he was referring to as “citizens” he now replied, “People I meet on the street”. The majority of citizens in Green Mountain Falls do not walk up and down the streets of Town speaking with Mr. Bratton! Who does he confer with? He speaks with the Concerned Citizens group and the related minority of
followers. And who is in that group? Citizens who cannot spell the word “back(e)” on a protest sign, a representative at Town meetings who fabricated a local address and who lied about speaking with the DA on a Town matter and a group who forced a special election which will cost the Town hundreds if not thousands of dollars beyond the five thousand dollars a Concerned Citizen donated. And this group supports a Mayor for re-election who is unethical (placed a letter from a disgruntled former employee on Facebook before giving it to the Town attorney and/or the Board), unprofessional (makes claims to Town achievements when the work was done by others) and unaware of the true needs of the Town while appearing to want to be a “strong” Mayor instead of a person who should work well with a group of Trustees. Hopefully the majority of Green Mountain Falls citizens will recognize this vicious, detrimental faction and vote for Jane Newberry and Margaret Peterson and against the recall, initiative and referendum.

Fobes is part of the Silver Tsunami stopped working. “I didn’t know what I was going to do about it,” she said. For four months she hauled water in jugs from her neighbors’ wells. “Well, what else could I do?” she said, with that characteristic little smile.
By Pat Hill
phill@colorado communitymedia.com Braced with a sense of resilience which she attributes to her New England roots, Lori Fobes takes everything in stride, surmounts adversity with resolve. Blessed with a sense of humor, Fobes smiles easily, has a slight twinkle in her eye and talks fast, in clipped tones reminiscent of those early years in Massachusetts. At the age of 77, Fobes is part of the “Silver Tsunami” in the Pikes Peak Region, a tide of people from the age of 65 and up. In Teller County, the older segment is expected to increase 157 percent by 2020, while putting more demands on services. Many seniors have lost all or parts of their retirement funds in the recessions of 2002 and 2007-08. Some never had a retirement fund, for one reason or another. A nonprofit organization, Innovations in Aging, is dedicated to finding solutions to help seniors remain in their homes during the later years. Fobes lives in a small cabin and is mortgagefree. Like so many seniors in the tsunami, Fobes supplements her monthly Social Security check with crossed fingers and plenty of prayers. “I quit work about eight

With three adult children who live in other states, Fobes counts on friends and self-reliance to assuage the sadness that accompanies the rash of memories. “My life is not as good since my husband’s been gone but, other than that, it is a good life,” she said.

Lewis-Palmer and Discovery Canyon return several state qualifiers By Danny Summers
dsummers@ coloradocommunitymedia.com Both Tri-Lakes area high school boys’ swimming teams are hoping to make a huge splash in pools across the state this spring. Lewis-Palmer finished sixth at last year’s Class 5A state meet. The Rangers are a combined District 38 team with members from Palmer Ridge. The Rangers are once again coached by Alan Arata. Discovery Canyon came in fifth at the 4A meet; its best finish in school history. Terre Christensen is the coach of the Thunder. Lewis-Palmer returns a plethora of state qualifiers, led by senior diver Zach Mullins. Joining Mullins on the board is sophomore Devin Berry. Other returners include senior Hunter Bains (100 free, 200 free), junior Cade Bains (200 IM), sophomore Riley Delahoyde (200 IM), senior Billy Wells (relays), junior Philip Rygert (100 fly) and junior Daniel Deysher (200 free, 500 free). Arata says he has his largest team in school history. The Rangers had no problem in their season opener against Liberty on March 12, defeating the Lancers 237 to 73. Rygert picked up wins in the 200 IM and 500 free. He also helped the relay teams to wins in the 200 medley and 400 free. Wells took first in the 200 free and also was part of the 200 and 400 free relay team victories. Discovery Canyon returns several state qualifiers, led by senior Daniel Liu (100 butterfly, 100 backstroke). Liu is a three-time state finalist and was second in 2013 in the 100 butterfly. He was fifth in the 100 back last season. Other returning state qualifiers are junior Eric Pannell (200 freestyle, 100 back), junior Joseph Law (200 free, 500 free), junior Jonathan Donehower (200 IM, 500 free), senior David Keller (50 free, 100 fly) and junior diver Ryan Byrnes. The Thunder has come a long way in just four years. They were 20th at the state meet in 2010.
Lewis-Palmer senior Zach Mullins hopes to twist, turn and flip his way to another state another state appearance this season.

After advancing to the state playoffs in 2013, there is much optimism surrounding the Woodland Park girls’ soccer team. “It makes sense for us to take the next step this year,” said Panthers coach Andrew Pappadakis. “We’re going to make a conscience run for the league championship and we’re going to try and win as many of our (nonleague) games so we can get a better seed.” The Panthers went 10-5-1 last season and were the No. 30 overall seed in the Class 4A state playoffs. They traveled to Palmer Ridge for a first round game, where they lost 9-1. Palmer Ridge, the No. 3 seed, advanced to the semifinals. Pappadakis has challenged his club to approach each nonleague game with a different purpose than in previous seasons. “In the past it didn’t matter if we won our preseason games or not,” he said. “It was all about development. “You have to have a certain mindset that you’re going to win every game; not just compete.” Leading the way for the Panthers again this season is junior center midfielder Jenny Sells. The diminutive player scored a team-

Woodland Park lost to Canon City 4-3. With Canon City ahead in the middle of the ninth 4-2, Woodland Park tried to come back but could only produce one run in the bottom of the ninth losing the game. Pitcher Dakota Herman struck out seven batters and pitched six scoreless innings.

postseason. Pappadakis will be without the services of assistant coach Justin Stones this spring. The Woodland Park alumnus is now playing professionally in New Zealand. “It’s a great opportunity for him and we all wish him the best,” Pappadakis said.

high 18 goals and passed out a whopping 14 assists in 2013. “She has the license to go on the attack more this year,” Pappadakis said. “She already controls the game from our perspective and she gets other players involved.” Junior forward Morghan Sieracki played a key role in the success of the team last year, scoring 16 goals and adding six assists. “There’s a flow and a continuation to the attacking side of the game and Morghan understands that more,” Pappadakis said. Senior forward Olivia Shaw is the other forward. “She’s very athletic and she’s fast,” Pappadakis said. “She has a desire to go forward.” Junior midfielder Katie Stunkard had seven goals last season, but she is out until early April with a knee injury suffered during the basketball season. Among the other key contributors on offense is sophomore Caitlan Thorne (3 goals, 3 assists). The defense is led by senior Michaela McDonough. She has been named a captain along with Sells. “She’s vocal,” Pappadakis said. “That’s important for us.” Freshman Lexie Rees is already impressing folks. “She’s solid in the fundamentals,” Pappadakis said. “She’s aggressive, has good skills and has great knowledge of the field.” The Panthers lost their season opener last week at Falcon, 100. But they came back to defeat Buena Vista, 3-1, on March 13.

After entry of a decree, permit 263773 will be re-permitted consistent with the provisions of the augmentation plan. 9. Previous decrees for water rights to be used for augmentation: None. 10. Historic use: Not applicable. 11. Statement of plan for augmentation: Well permit 263773 is only permitted for indoor residential uses and noncommercial domestic animals. Applicant seeks approval of a plan for augmentation which will allow multiple uses from this structure, including without limitation indoor residential uses, commercial uses (drinking and sanitary purposes only), a detached home office or guest house, livestock water, landscape, orchard and garden (including greenhouse) irrigation, hot tub and/or swimming pool, and augmentation. The SEO has established an informal guideline of 0.2 acre foot annually for indoor residential uses. Waste water from indoor uses will be treated using a nonevaporative individual septic tank and leach field system (“ISDS”); annual return flows from water so treated will no be less than 0.18 acre foot. Such return flows will accrue to Burgess Creek, a tributary of Kettle Creek and Monument Creek. This plan for augmentation will allow annual pumping not to exceed 0.92 acre foot over a 250 year period, at which time stream depletions will equal 19.56% of annual pumping. By observing that pumping limitation, ISDS return flows alone will equal or exceed the 0.18 acre foot of maximum stream depletions during the pumping period. Applicant proposes to replace depletions during pumping with return flows from the ISDS, and to replace estimated (4) REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF acre post-pumping depletions of 207.5 ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR PUBLIC feet with the nontributary Denver aquifer water decreed herein, 212 acre feet of WORKS DUMP TRUCK/SNOW PLOW which will bePAUL reserved for that purpose.

Watt wins big at Republican assembly Staff Report
Teller County Republican Assembly delegates were up bright and early on Saturday to conduct their 2014 ballot determinations at Summit Elementary School in Divide. Candidates for county and state offices were there to make their cases for inclusion on the June 24 Republican Primary ballot. After credentialing and seating the delegates, the nomination process began with Sheriff Mike Ensminger, who was accepted by acclamation but has two challengers actively pursuing spots on the ballot through the petition process. Treasurer Bob Campbell, District 2 Commissioner Dave Paul, Coroner Al Born and Clerk and Recorder
Krystal Brown were also approved for the ballot by acclamation. In the only contested race, incumbent Assessor Betty Clark-Wine was challenged by former assessor’s office employee Violet Watt. After both candidates were nominated and made impassioned acceptance speeches, the votes were tallied and Watt was announced as the winner with more than 70 percent of the delegate votes. The tellers and designated observers representing the two campaigns did identify that they actually counted more votes than the prescribed 100 delegates seated, and the Teller County Republican Executive Committee Chair Pete Labarre, after a short meeting with all parties identified the issue. He announced that a delegate had
arrived late and joined the seated group after having been replaced by an elevated alternate during the seating process. In recognition of the error, the candidates were given the opportunity for a revote and both declined. The margin of victory for Watt was significant, as a candidate at the Assembly must garner at least 30 percent of the delegate votes to be included on the June 24 primary ballot. Should a vote of 10 percent support or less occur, the candidate is precluded from petitioning onto the ballot. The incumbent Assessor may still find her way to the primary through the petition process based on Saturday’s results. Clark-Wine departed from the Assembly well in advance of its adjournment follow-
ing the determination of her race. She did not make an announcement as to whether she would pursue the petition process and force a primary showdown with Ms. Watt. Also in attendance and speaking for their re-election through the State Assembly and District Assembly process were State Rep. Polly Lawrence, State Sen. Kevin Grantham and U.S. Congressman Doug Lamborn. U.S. Senate Candidate and current State Sen. Randy Baumgardner, Gubernatorial Candidate and current State Sen. Greg Brophy and Attorney General Candidate, State Rep. and 2013 House Minority Leader Mark Waller also made personal appearances to garner support from the Teller County Delegates.
