Cripple Creek donkeys given free rein for another season Filming for reality show ‘demo-reel’ to be conducted through Aug. 7 By Sonja Oliver
Contributing writer The City of Cripple Creek passed its annual ordinance allowing the small herd of donkeys roaming rights throughout the mining district from Apr. 15 through Oct. 15. During the cold winter months, the donkeys are kept on a ranch. Each year, the city renews the ordinance dating back to 1977, addressing “livestock at large” pertaining to the donkeys. However, in addition to the renewal this year, the council amended the ordinance to limit the herd number in the future not to exceed 20 donkeys. Currently the herd consists of 16 donkeys and is believed to be made up of several direct descendants of donkeys that were used to work the mines in the
Cripple Creek and Victor mining district in the early years of the gold camp. When miners left the district, the donkeys were left behind to fend for themselves. In recognition of the donkey’s historic place in the formation of Cripple Creek and Victor, the city passed an ordinance allowing the distant relatives of the original donkey herd to roam throughout the gold camp area. Today, the Two Mile High Club, which maintains the free-roaming herd, is dedicated to the donkey’s health and welfare. According to their website, the club is the oldest incorporated civic organization in the State of Colorado and hosts Donkey Derby Days, now in its 83rd year. The origins of this popular Colorado donkey festival dates back to 1933, when two local businessmen came up with the idea of holding a Donkey Derby in Cripple Creek to encourage tourism. The donkeys are no longer ridden, but races are held by leading the donkeys through a series

Proceeds from the weekend are used by the club to provide feed and veterinary services for the herd. This years’ Donkey Derby Days will be held over the weekend of June 27-29 and features a Western Pack Burro “ASS-ociation” race between the cities of Victor and
Cripple Creek. Reality show to feature Cripple Creek? City Administrator Ray White presented a “Confidentiality and Exclusivity Agreement” between the city and PSG Films which states that Cripple Creek will not talk to any other filming company regrading a reality show from
now until Aug. 7. PSG Films is a subsidiary of PSG Motion Pictures and produces popular reality series on National Geographic, Discovery and Travel Channels including “Alaska State Troopers,” “Blood and Oil” and “The Long Haul,” to name a few. According to the agreement dated Apr. 7, 2014, PSG Films is looking at the city for a possible reality series and will be conducting “reality-program style videotaping in connection with the production of a demo-reel... and any subsequent series, program, pilot or episode based on the (demo reel). The agreement was approved for the requested duration.
Other council action In other Cripple Creek business the city council made three appointments to the Historic Preservation Commission. Local 20-year resident Melissa Trenary Donkeys continues on Page 15
Semi-new WP council sworn in Saying goodbye to Eric Smith, new Mayor Pro Tem chosen By Norma Engelberg Contributing writer
The first thing a Woodland Park City Council does at its first meeting after a regular municipal election is to say goodbye to out-going members and swear in newly elected or reelected councilmembers and the mayor. It then choses a new Mayor Pro Tem and assigns councilmembers as liaisons or voting members to boards, commissions and committees. Doing that took up more than half of council’s April 17 meeting. Before the meeting started, the city provided a farewell buffet for Eric Smith, who decided not to run for reelection. He served as a planning commissioner for six and a half years before being appointed to city council where he served a total of six years. He has decided to concentrate his time and energy on developing new construction projects, which means he will not become a stranger to council. He will be appearing on future agendas as an applicant. In fact, later in this meeting he appeared at the podium on an item that pertained to his development of the Trail Ridge Apartment complex off Sheridan Avenue. Once the meeting was underway, Mayor Dave Turley and the other councilmembers had good words to say about their service with Smith. In turn, he thanked them, saying it has been an honor and privilege to serve with them. He asked council to prioritize three items: build a municipal reservoir, continue supporting the Downtown Development Authority and get the aquatic center built. As a going away present, Smith received POSTAL ADDRESS

Not pictured is Deirdre Arnold from planning. Photos by Norma Engelberg a framed photograph of Pikes Peak. His 12-year-old-son Parker received flowers to give to his mother, who had to leave early. After that, Turley was sworn in for a second 2-year term as mayor. Ken Matthews and John Schaffer, who were incumbents on the April 8 election ballot, and the new face on council, Noel Sawyer, also were sworn in. Councilmember Carrol Harvey is now Mayor Pro Tem and Sawyer has been named an alternate to a committee at Pikes Peak Area Council of Governments where Turley also serves, and council liaison to the Woodland Park Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. He has also been tasked with restarting the city’s Youth Advisory Board. Once all the assignments were made, council’s next order of business was to appoint Don Sloan and Anna Weiland to the Keep Woodland Park Beautiful committee.
Council also unanimously approved three ordinances on first reading: a conditional use permit to convert a model home in a neighborhood commercial zone into a residential property, a conditional use permit to change the Tabeguache Steakhouse, located in a community commercial zone, into an Arby’s Restaurant and an ordinance accepting a utility easement and temporary construction permit by Peoples National Bank to add an eastbound rightturn lane on U.S. 24 at Sheridan Avenue. It was on this last ordinance that Smith spoke. Developers in Woodland Park pay a transportation impact fee whenever one of their projects will impact traffic on highways eligible for federal funding, including U.S. 24 and Colo. 67. Smith, as co-owner of Trail Ridge Apartments, has paid for transportation impacts as have Peoples National Bank and the owners of the Keller

By Norma Engelberg Contributing writer
Woodland Park Public Works and Schmidt Construction recently collaborated on a road improvement project that caught the eye of the Colorado Asphalt Paving Association. Work on Trout Creek Road included 8,000 tons of asphalt, roadbed reconstruction, chip seal, culverts and other improvements that have made the road project a model of construction and cooperation. The project has earned the Best in Colorado Award for rural new resurfacing. Tom Petersen, representing the association came to the April 17 Woodland Park City Council meeting to present the award to the city and Schmidt Construction representatives.

toric Green Mountain Falls Foundation has protected another property from development. “Dewey Mountain is one of only five properties owned by the Foundation, all of which have been acquired with the community’s future in mind, ensuring they are maintained and can thus be enjoyed for generations to come,” said Christian Keesee, chairman
of the foundation. The foundation is patterned after the Colonial Historic Williamsburg (Virginia) Foundation, said Keesee, speaking by telephone from Oklahoma City. “Our mission is to buy and remove buildings, hotels and houses that are eyesores, obtrusive, such as the hotel on Ute Pass Avenue, a terrible eyesore,” Keesee said, referring to
the dilapidated set of cabins that was torn down and replaced by open space known as Mountain Road Corner. The corner park reflects the foundation’s goal of adding open space to the landscape. “Green Mountain Falls has vacant lots and not much green space,” Keesee said. The 120 acres on Dewey Mountain, which the foun-
dation purchased from Ray Burgess, protects the town’s backscape as well as the trail system. “By stopping the land from being developed, the foundation ensures that people will not scrape out the mountainside for one house, for instance,” Keesee said. “We want to keep the charm and beauty of the town so we felt like stepping up. The land is
held in perpetuity and not for development. Dewey Mountain is held in trust for the citizens of Green Mountain Falls.” The foundation’s future plans are to hire an arborist and forestry expert to complete an assessment in 2015. “We want to protect the animals as well as the Dewey continues on Page 10

Catamount Institute in idyllic setting By Pat Hill

phil@coloradocommunitymedia.com The creek meanders through the park, beavers build dams, unaware of the show-and-tell nature of their work, and birds greet the day with song. A place for the study of nature in an urban wilderness, Sonderman Park in Colorado Springs is the ideal setting for the Catamount Institute. “We have a real treasure here and the staff at Catamount knows it very well,” said Alicia Archibald, who was recently named executive director of the nonprofit organization. “When you go on a nature hike with them, they can tell you anything. They’re young, fresh out of college.” Along with the lessons in natural science, the educators instill a sense of nature’s vibrancy, its connection to a broader world. “It gives them hope. A lot of the kids we serve come from homes that have very tight incomes,” she said. “We tell them that the creek back here is in a city park.” Dedicated to youth development through education and adventure, the institute is designed to incite curiosity about nature and the role of all creatures in the order of things. Archibald started out as a volunteer to help the organization fulfill its mission of teaching children to be stewards of the environ-

For the first time, the institute hosts summer camps at three ranches in Teller County. Photo by Pat Hill ment. With an energetic board of directors the institute has a renewed sense of vigor. “The board members are actively involved and doing a phenomenal job of fund raising,” Archibald said. The fundraising ensures the continuation of the Young Environmental Stewards - YES - program at Columbine, Summit and Cresson elementary schools in Teller County and the Lake George Charter School in Park County. The Outdoor Club serves students at the Woodland Park Middle School. The students learn about underground eco-systems, about caving, bugs, soil and
bats. “Bats, for instance, control the moth population.” Archibald said. For some lessons, bugs in the park do the trick. “It’s important for kids to understand the value of animals and bugs,” she said. The field trips, at the park and around the Pikes Peak Region, accentuate the science curriculum in area schools. The programs are timely and intended to foster awareness in youngsters of what’s happening around them. Building wind turbines, for instance, points to the state’s push for more sources of renewable energy. For Archibald, protect-
ing the environment is paramount, a lesson brought home when her father died of lung cancer at the age of 59, after spending years as a body-shop painter. “I didn’t realize until two years after he died that it was bad air,” she said. “I don’t know that we know how important it is that we have clean water and clean air, soil that’s good for growing food. We take that for granted.” As the director of an organization whose primary goal is to ensure the vibrancy of the environment, Archibald finds rewards in little things that, in the end, have a global effect. “It’s seeing lives change.

But when it came to the resolution’s granting exclusive control and authority over the meeting agenda, town attorney Matthew Krob intervened. “I will make it clear again that this was not provided to the town attorney,” he said.

What Town Hall a go in GMF now for GMF? By Pat Hill
phil@coloradocommunitymedia.com
In a final order of business, the outgoing Green Mountain Falls’ board of trustees approved the construction agreement for the new town hall at the meeting April 15. The agreement was Rob McArthur’s farewell to serving as the town’s public works director, interim town manager and town-hall project manager. McArthur wrote the successful application to the Colorado Department of Local Affairs, which awarded the town a $500,000 grant for the construction. McArthur also secured a flood-mitigation grant from DOLA for $220,000 and another $15,000 from CIRSA, the town’s insurance provider. An $800,000 project, in addition to
By Pat Hill
phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com In her last stand as a Green Mountain Falls’ trustee, Margaret Peterson brought rumors into the open at the meeting April 15. Peterson expressed concern about El Paso County employees rumored to be looking around the town’s maintenance yard. “I’d just like to know if anybody knows anything about this,” she said. Peterson questioned whether the town would continue to receive funds from the Pikes Peak Rural Transportation Authority if the county were to take over maintenance. At that point, Rob McArthur, public works director, had not yet resigned but Peterson was responding to rumors. Outgoing mayor pro tem Jane Newberry agreed. “I’d like to know the same thing; I’ve heard several reports,” she said. “It’s a huge impact on PPRTA. If the county takes over it will mess with the road budget; the money that comes with the PPRTA is likely to go away.” Green Mountain Falls is among the municipalities, in addition to El Paso County, that receives a portion of the 1 percent sales-tax reserved for maintenance and capital-improvement projects. In an email written two days after the board meeting, Newberry repeated her concern. “PPRTA’s portion that we receive is based on how much money we budget for roads,” she wrote. “So if the new board cuts the public works budget, yes, the PPRTA will take back or cut down their money.” After the signing of the town-hall contract, trustees Peterson, Newberry and Mac Pitrone left their seats and were greeted by a round of applause from the audience and expressions of gratitude for their services.
the grants, the hall is funded by $151,000 from CIRSA and $50,000 from Regional Building, with the remainder from inkind donations. McArthur introduced the players, which included Rob Seever, architect with Keystone Associates and a resident of Green Mountain Falls. “My part of this is making sure we stay within budget,” Seever said. Of seven bids received, Ed Green Construction won the contract with a bid of $506,000. A fourth-generation family business, Green’s sons represented the company that evening. In addition to the funding stream, the town contributed $50,000 for the road and parking lot, to be done by Lamb Plumbing and Excavation. “With Rob’s departure, we needed to fill that gap; that’s why Lamb is doing the town’s
piece,” Seever said, as McArthur added, “That comes out of the town’s public works budget. $50,000 was set aside for the in-kind portion and Lamb has met the requirements.” In addition to Green, Lamb and Seever, Ken Murphy, of K.T. Murphy Construction reported that he would be the go-between for the town and CIRSA. “We brought in all these people to say that it’s going to take a team to build the building,” Seever said. McArthur then requested that the board sign the contract. Worthey balked and initially voted no but changed her vote to yes after the board voted to have Jane Newberry, outgoing mayor pro tem, sign the contract. As a result, Worthey agreed to sign. McArthur walked out after the signing and resigned his position the next day.

nial figure head of the municipality,” states the resolution in part. The second resolution appoints Tim Bradley to his former position as the town’s police chief. Bradley resigned in November with a $12,000 severance package. As well, the board approved Bradley’s request last year for a service dog. The resolution authorizes Worthey to negotiate the re-hiring within the budgetary constraints of the current approved 2014 budget. A third resolution restores the system of government that has each trustee assigned as the liaison between the board and each department. In a departure from tradition, Worthey appointed Chris Frandina as the town clerk, with conditions,
while removing Frandina as the town’s treasurer. For that position, Worthey appointed Michael Butts to prepare the town’s budget and to oversee all the town’s financial assets. Worthey appointed Stevens as the mayor pro tem and as the town’s representative on the Pikes Peak Area Council of Governments and the Pikes Peak Rural Transportation Authority. For all liaison positions, Worthey named herself as the alternate. Once again, Krob repeated that resolutions do not supersede ordinances. As a result, Krob was asked by the board to review the resolutions, according to protocol. After the election, trustees Howard Price announced his resignation from the board. Dave Kosley and Lori LoCascio also resigned their positions on the planning commission while Rob McArthur and his entire staff resigned April 16 — effective immediately.
Bradley returns to GMF
Tim Bradley was sworn into office April 18 as the Green Mountain Falls marshal. Former marshal/police chief, Bradley resigned in November after being offered a severance package by the town board. With the election of three new members of the board and the re-election of Mayor Lorrie Worthey, Bradley accepted an invitation to resume his position.

All roads lead to Walter Paris Art and the ice business, Palmer Lake and Cripple Creek, Professor Ferdinand Hayden and the U.S. Government Geological Survey, local architecture, and Rudyard Kipling’s Nobel Prize for Literature ... all roads lead to Paris. Walter Paris, that is. He arrived in the Pikes Peak area in the Summer of 1873. In his youth, Paris, an esteemed Englishtrained architect had been appointed assistant architect in Bombay, by the English government. He had befriended John Lockwood Kipling, who was professor at the Bombay School of Art, at the time. “One morning December of 1865, John Kipling rushed over to Paris’ bungalow to announce that his wife had given birth to a 12-pound boy. A few days later, Paris went to see the infant and help him in his arms. The infant’s name was Rudyard Kipling, who grew up to be one of the most famous British writers in India and the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature 1907. Paris
maintained a friendship with the Kiplings and their son, and by 1899, when Rudyard Kipling was living in Vermont, Paris rightfully consider himself Kipling’s oldest, friend,” writes Palmer Lake historian Daniel W. Edwards in a historical paper for the Palmer Lake Historical Society in July of 2010. By 1873, Walter Paris was painting water color sketches in around the Pikes Peak region. He continued to design buildings in Colorado, including an office building on Tejon Street in Colorado Springs, and a
school in west Denver, but also set in motion plans for an Ice House near Divide Lake in northern El Paso County. Divide Lake (later rechristened Palmer Lake) was leased from the railroad and Paris built an ice house there that could store 2,000 tons of ice to be sold in Denver, Colorado Springs and Pueblo. Paris and W.S. Hannaford established the Fountain Ice Company and purchased existing ice houses in Colorado Springs and Manitou. “The company’s ice house at Palmer Lake was completed by the end of 1873, and there is one tantalizing reference to Paris sending carpenters to build, if not the beginnings of town, at least some houses at Divide Lake where workers at his plant could spend the winter. If Paris did construct housing facilities, it indicates there was a small settlement at the future site of Palmer Lake long before Thompson began his development efforts in 1883,” writes
Dan Edwards. Paris joined the Prof. Ferdinand Hayden’s U.S. Geological Survey team that documented first intoYellowstone region of Wyoming in the early 1870s was working as an artist for the survey in the fall of 1874. “Mr. Walter Paris, who has been accompanying Professor Hayden’s party in their trip northward from Colorado Springs, along the base of the mountains, has made a number of sketches of scenery in Pleasant Park and other localities along the route, and extends and invitation to our citizens to call at his studio and look them over,” reported the Colorado Springs Gazette on Oct. 24, 1874. But he became restless. In January 1875, Paris wrote to Hayden in Washington, at the time. “I feel that a reputation is not to be Carrigan continues on Page 7
Aaron was great, but the ‘Babe’ is a legend Sixty years ago, on April 23, 1954, Hank Aaron belted his first major league home run as a member of the Milwaukee Braves. “Hammerin’ Hank” went on to wallop 754 more home runs. He played through the 1976 season, retiring as a member of the Milwaukee Brewers. Many people, including myself, consider Aaron the all-time home run king. True, he is technically second behind Barry Bonds’ 762, but few folks boastfully place Bonds at the top of the leader board. By now, most baseball fans are well aware of Bonds’ troubles as related to steroid accusations. Aaron, of course, broke Babe Ruth’s all-time record of 714. He did so on April 8, 1974, when he took Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Al Downing over the left-field wall at Atlanta’s Fulton County Stadium. What made the moment that much more significant was that Aaron and
PIKES PEAK COURIER
Downing were both black ball players. Aaron performed his remarkable feat while playing in a baseball world that allowed people of all races, nationalities and color. Interestingly, Aaron got his start in professional baseball in the Negro Leagues. I don’t know if anyone else has looked at this way, but this is how I jokingly break down the home run records of Ruth, Aaron and Bonds. Ruth is the alcoholic home run king. Aaron is the organic home run king.

Bonds is the anabolic home run king. The “Babe” was, and still is, the most hallowed figure in the history of sports - at least in America. He is arguably the most recognizable sports figure - still - in the world today. And he’s been dead for 66 years. Ruth, you see, was a mythical legend in his time. To understand Ruth you must first understand the legend. And what a man and legend he was. Ruth debuted in major league baseball 100 years ago, on July 11, 1914. He was as a pitcher, of course, and threw seven innings of 8-hit ball against Cleveland. He got the victory by allowing three runs (two earned), while striking out one batter and not walking anyone. Ruth was 0 for 2 at the plate that day with a strikeout. Almost from the beginning of his time as a professional player in the minor
leagues with the Baltimore Orioles of the International League, Ruth overshadowed the game - both figuratively and literally. He played hard and lived hard and enjoyed life to the fullest. Perhaps that is why he died a relatively young man at the age of 53 from throat cancer in 1948. The National Baseball Hall of Fame has allocated 180 square feet to Ruth - an inaugural member in 1936. I have been to the Hall three times and have spent many hours looking over Ruth’s memorabilia and posing next to a life-sized stature of him that is in the main lobby. Ruth was arguably one of the best lefthanded pitchers of his time. He might have gone down as the greatest left-hander in history if he wasn’t’ such a great hitter. From 1915 through 1917, the Babe won Summers continues on Page 7
Sheep stealing was in vogue in the 1890s Back in the 1890s, the sheep business was very important from Monument to Castle Rock; even up at Woodland Park. I found a story that goes to show just how strange this could get. The Seldomridge and Pebbles Co., of Colorado Springs had sheep to sell, and had advertised in newspapers as far as Omaha, Neb. A prospective buyer contacted Mr. Seldomridge, a prominent Colorado Springs businessman. Now I’m not sure where all of the sheep were located, but some were in Black Forest. This man by the name of Wilson in Nebraska, wanted 2,000 sheep. At the time, most of their sheep had already been sold, but Seldomridge knew of sheep that were available and could be available. Wilson came to Colorado Springs with letters of credit from a bank in Omaha, and other backers. He said cash was short in Nebraska, but had security he could offer, as well as cattle. Seldomridge took him to his banker to work out the details. The process of securing other credit for the deal took several days. The banker finally approved the deal and the sale was made. Wilson wanted to ship the cattle to Nebraska. The closest shipping point to the sheep was Falcon. It took a while to get the sheep moved east, but once on the railroad they had to go to Denver before they could go east, because of the railroad’s shipping route. It would take several days to get to Nebraska. The bank, at this time used mainly the mail to move credit information. It was not long before word came from every
direction that they had never heard of Wilson. For many hours the El Paso County Sheriff was busy sending telegrams, trying to locate Wilson and the sheep. The sheep were easy to find, reporting that some had gone to Omaha and others to Chicago. A few days later a telegram from the police in Omaha let the local sheriff know that Wilson was in jail. He was caught with most of the money, and a few unsold sheep. The banker from Colorado Springs went to Omaha to recover what he could. Wilson had already sold most of the sheep and had made a tidy profit in the deal. That money, after paying the shipping bills, more than covered the losses from Seldomridge and Pebbles. The remaining sheep were sold in Omaha. It was hoped that Wilson could be brought to Colorado Springs to stand trial, but it was discovered that there were already charges against him in Nebraska. I have been unable to track any other information on the events, but it seems like he spent some time in prison in Nebraska. In the end the sheep were paid for and Seldomridge and Pebbles, and their banker became a lot smarter about sophisticated sheep thieves.

Moderation in all things Sorry but I’m on a rant about excessive exercise. I’m surprised to find myself taking this position having been a marathoner, who logged far more 70-mile weeks running that common sense would allow. However, the tsunami of people dedicated to excessive exercise today, be it running or participating in the current intense exercise crazes of P90X, Insanity, Cross-Fit, Tough Mudder and their ilk, concerns both me and, evidently, the medical profession. Recent studies coming out the Mayo Clinic and the Cardiovascular Research Institute at the Lehigh Valley Health Network have shed a light on heart damage that appears to be connected to high-mileage runners resulting in shorter lifespans. The conjecture is that the “wear and tear” on the heart from excessive exercise may expose a “tipping point,” where exercise becomes “too much of a good thing.” Unfortunately, the point was well made on Sunday, April 13th, when two runners died in North Carolina’s Rock ‘N’ Roll half-marathon. A 35-year-old man col-
lapsed and died between mile 10 and 11 of the race and a 31-year-old man died just before the finish line. Granted deaths in marathon races are a rarity, however, they are not a rarity for those who die. So what is the optimal dosage of running for achieving the known health benefits without dropping dead in your $150 Nike trail shoes? A study out of the University of South Caroline of 52,656 adults found that those who ran one to 20-miles per week at an average pace of around 10 to 11 minutes per mile reduced their risk of dying more effectively than those who didn’t run. The
surprising result was that the moderate runners also had a lower mortality rate than those subjects who ran more than 20 miles a week or ran at a pace faster than seven-miles per hour. “These data certainly support the idea that more running is not needed to produce extra health and mortality benefits,” says Dr. Carl J. Lavie, one of the study’s authors. “If anything,” he continued, “it appears that less running is associated with the best protection from mortality risks. More is not better, and actually, more could be worse.” There are a multitude of warning signs of overtraining, whether running, working out at the gym or exercising in front of your TV. The American Council of Exercise (ACE), a fitness industry certifying and educating organization, defines overtraining as “constant intense training that does not provide adequate time for recovery. The symptoms you’re getting “too much of a good thing” express themselves both physically and psychologically. The physical markers of overtraining are a
decrease in performance, loss of coordination, prolonged recovery time, elevated morning heart rate and elevated resting blood pressure. Additional physical signs are headaches, loss of appetite, chronic muscle soreness, gastrointestinal disturbances, depressed immune system, increase frequency of injuries and sleep disturbances. The psychological and emotional markers are depression, apathy, difficulty concentrating, emotional sensitivity and reduced self-esteem. If any of the above symptoms resonates, here’s a mantra for a healthy relationship with exercise … “Moderation in all things.” Cord Prettyman is a certified Master Personal Trainer and owner of Absolute Workout Fitness and Post-Re-hab Studio in Woodland Park.He can be reached at 6877437, by email at cordprettyman@msn.com or though his website at www.cordprettyman.com.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor: I went to meetings on the “Main Street Project.” The recommendations I heard were not worth accepting money from the Colorado Department of Local Affairs and having the city of Woodland Park have to report to them. I am concerned about possible connections between this project and Agenda 21. I understand board members of “Main Street” in WP have been asked to research this. One lady at the “Main Street” meetings said she went online and read assess-

65 games as a pitcher. He then transitioned to the outfield in 1918 and led the American League with 11 home runs, while posting a 13-7 record and 2.22 ERA on the mound. By the way, he led the American League in ERA (1.75) in 1916 while posting a 23-12 record and leading Boston to a World Series title. He won 24 games in 1917. In fact, the Red Sox won three World Series titles in Ruth’s six seasons with the club. Most everyone knows the popular famous story of how Boston owner Harry Frazee sold the “Sultan of the Swat” to the New York Yankees following the 1919 season. Frazee, apparently in desperate need of cash to finance his Broadway musical “No, No, Nanatte” sold Ruth to the Yankees for $125,000. Other versions of the story suggest that Frazee just needed cash so that he could meet player payroll and help pay off his debt to former Red Sox owners. In either case, Ruth was shipped off to Boston and the rest is history. Ruth led the American League with 29 home runs and 113 RBIs as a member of
ments of towns evaluated by this consultant group and found that they recommend the same things in other towns. I do not believe having government programs try to make Woodland Park look like a lot of other cities in Colorado will make more people come here. Now that we have the assessment, I think we should get together, pick one item to implement and work on it as a community. Since we would have to match the funds for DOLA grants anyway, let’s get busy and raise the money to do
one thing at a time without government funds. The reason I don’t shop on “Main Street” is a lot of retailers charge like we are Aspen or Vail. If we make Woodland Park look like Aspen or Vail, the retailers will raise their prices. The restaurants where I eat out in Woodland Park are on the outskirts of town because their prices are more reasonable. The thought of taking Highway 24 back down to two lanes so people will drive through our town slower was obviously
made by someone who doesn’t live here. Having lived here 25 years and remembering how slow traffic was before; if you make it two lanes again, I will again not be able to come into Woodland Park during morning or evening rush hour. Carol Soderstrom
Creek in 1892. “Mr. Walter Paris has returned from Cripple Creek bringing with him some excellent sketches of the town from various points in the vicinity and two water colors of mountain scenery. He also has a very vigorous sketch the main street while the fire was in progress Wednesday night,” reported the Colorado Springs paper. Described as “a large man, broadshoulders, well-built, and wore a mustache and full beard squarely cut,” in the Dictionary of American Biography, he seemed to be well-connected here in the U.S. and his native England, in fact attending a White House reception hosted by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1905. He died in Washington in November of 1906 at the age of 54 from the effects of a stroke. “He had a dignity which verged on pomposity and was slow and heavy in movement and speech, and latter dis-
tinctly British in accent... Of his own work and attainments he held high opinion, and not infrequently frankly expressed, and he was intolerant of criticism, but this char-
acteristic also may been only the armor worn to protect a supersensitive nature,” according to the Dictionary of American Biography.
the Red Sox in 1919. He also went 9-5 on the mound. In 1920, his first season as a Yankee, he belted 54 homers and drove in 135 (both league highs). Ruth followed that with a league-leading 59 home runs and 168 RBIs in 1921. The Babe played 15 seasons for the Yankees and led the club to four World Series titles and seven total appearances in the Fall Classic. Twice he hit three home runs in a World Series game. Ruth played for the National League’s Boston Braves in his final season in 1935. On May 25 of that year at Pittsburgh, a fat and out of shape 40-year-olf Ruth belted three home runs against the Pirates. The last one cleared the roof at old Forbes Field and in doing so Ruth became the first player ever to accomplish that feat. “The Bambino” played his last game on May 30 at Philadelphia, grounding out in his only plate appearance. As far as Aaron is concerned, I have dear memories of watching him play in person and on television when I was child. I had the opportunity to watch Bonds play many times in person and interview a number of times. He was actually a delightful person to talk with. But for my money, nobody can ever replace George Herman “Babe” Ruth as the most significant figure in the history of baseball and sports.

Nutrition is a vital piece of the treatment, one that brought Rosenau into the fold. “Jessie has a vision that matches mine exactly,” Rosenau said. “If they’re not getting the nutrients they need to heal — and they were depleted from the choices they were making — they’re not going to have the brain chemistry to make better choices once they leave.” Rosenau designs the menus. “We have 30 days where they are a captive audience and don’t have access to other foods,” she said. “We’re finding that, in the world of substance abuse, eating disorders often show up.”
However, there is some flexibility and animalbased foods are allowed. “But Jessie and I knew that the real powerhouse nutrients were going to be found in plant food,” Rosenau said. “So far, plant-based food hasn’t become comfort food.” The meals are catered by chefs who also cook for Springs Rescue Mission. “On Sundays, the residents make a family-style meal, with groceries we’ll shop for,” Rosenau said. “They can make whatever they want, because we do want to honor food as comfort.” The home in the woods, a former bed and breakfast inn, includes three cabins in the back, one for Holmes’ office, the others for art therapy and exercise with a personal-fitness trainer. “And, of course, hiking and being outside in this amazing place,” Holmes said. “We’re really trying to emphasize the robust image of the Colorado lifestyle, want people to be comfortable, to leave here feeling like they have the tools they need to cope with life.” STAR is another project of Irish Clover, Inc, whose principal owner is Chuck Murphy of Colorado Springs.

Annual Chili Cook-off returns as fundraiser for Florissant Grange Susie Knight, award-winning cowgirl, singer to perform By Sonja Oliver
Contributing writer Chili makers and tasters and pie lovers are invited to attend the Florissant Grange No. 420’s annual Chili Cook-off fundraiser to be held at noon on Saturday, April 26 at the Grange in Florissant. Featured is Susie Knight, an award-winning cowgirl poet, singer and songwriter with local connections to Teller County and who will headline the entertainment. According to Grange Secretary Renee Caldwell, the fundraising event is in its sixth year and continues to be part of an ongoing effort to raise money for the restoration of the historic 1880s era schoolhouse located in Florissant. The schoolhouse is used for numerous community functions throughout the year. In 2012, monies from the building fund provided for the painting of the buildings. Money raised from last year and this years’ upcoming fundraiser will go towards a new
roof which is needed, according to Grand Master Alan Caldwell. Last year more than 100 people from throughout the community attended the Chili Cook-off to support the Grange’s restoration efforts. Although the cook-off is not an officially sanctioned event, Caldwell says it is a “‘FUNdraising’ event with ‘fun’ being the key word,” and says the Grange employs a fair judging process. “We have four volunteer judges who do not know who cooked what chili, so it’s very impartial,” Caldwell said. The first place chili wins $100, second place, $75, third place, $50, and the winner of the People’s Choice Award receives $25. That award is earned by those who use their five tickets received when buying a bowl of chili and placing their ticket in the cup of their favorite chili. In addition to the chili competition, the Grange holds a silent pie auction of donated home-baked pies and bidding wars often ensue. “The pies always get a lot of attention. It’s great fun to see which pie brings in the most money for the Grange,” Caldwell said.
The Florissant Grange #420 Annual Chili Supper to be held on Apr. 26 will feature award-winning Cowgirl Poet/ Singer/Songwriter Susie Knight as the headline entertainment. Courtesy photo Entertainment will range from classic county music, to classic rock and western.

Taste of the Grape features 60 wines By Pat Hill
phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com A major fundraiser for the Ute Pass Kiwanis, Club Taste of the Grape features 60 wines and food from 10 restaurants. Mark Fusaris, of Gold Hill Wine and Liquor Outlet is the wine coordinator for the event in May. While the wines are from around the world, the food is from local purveyors. The idea is to pair the various wines from around the world with the types of food from the local eateries. “I’ll be walking around looking for that perfect pairing of food with the wine we have,” Fusaris said. As well, the Paradox Brewery will offer tastings of their microbrews.
The fundraiser highlights the work of the Kiwanis Club. “The proceeds from this event will go toward various things that involve children,” said Sandy Bridgewater, public relations coordinator for the event. The club provides scholarships, contributes to the leadership programs in the RE-2 School District as well as Court Appointed Special Advocate and the Ronald McDonald House. “Anything involving kids we’re certainly interested in supporting,” Bridgewater said. Taste of the Grape begins at 7 p.m. May 9 at the Ute Pass Cultural Center. Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 at the door. Tickets are available at the liquor store or info@utepasskiwanis.org.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Continued from Page 7
to thank the residents and property owners of Green Mountain Falls for the opportunity to serve the community as your CAO, town manager, and public works director. It has been my pleasure to work with you solving challenges, and learning about your individual history as it relates to your family’s experiences in the Ute Pass. I was originally hired with the priority placed upon roads, parks and infrastructure management. It is my belief that the municipal staff has answered that call, above and beyond anyone’s
expectations. For the record, over the course of my employment (3217 days) since June 22, 2005, with the municipality in Green Mountain Falls, this office has not only recovered annually the employment cost for myself, but through grant writing and other funding efforts, we have matched the general fund budget for our entire operation, exceeding $2 million more than nine years. This kind of efficiency, productivity, and innovation is unparalleled, and I am very proud of my Department of Public Works and administrative staff for working with this office to facilitate the needs of the property owners while off-
setting the cost to the municipality. The last election of April 1 resulted in a recalibration of priority for essential services. It is clear that the focus has shifted to public safety through law enforcement, rather than through infrastructure management. It is the opinion of this office that such motivation has no reasonable basis (dual taxation of property owners), and the facilitation of such procedure will end the ability of this office to perform at a level that is acceptable to the community. The result is my resignation as an employee for the town of Green Mountain Falls. I thank members of the community for
their encouragement. I thank the public works staff for their tireless work ethic. I thank the administrative staff for their unrelenting support. I thank the Planning Commission for their professionalism. I thank trustees King, Useman, Price, LoCascio, Pitrone, Peterson and Newberry for their continuous cooperation. This may have been the most rewarding job I have ever had. Rob McArthur

Hospital debuts fall-prevention system By Pat Hill phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com
Sherilyn Skokan, director of patient-care services at Pikes Peak Regional Hospital, shows how the CareView System works – by zeroing in on an at-risk patient’s room where an alarm sounds if the patients goes beyond the virtual barrier. PPRH recently launched the fall-prevention program as a safety measure. Photo by Pat Hill
If the CareView System alarm goes off, nurses at Pikes Peak Regional Hospital come running to the rescue. The alarm is designed to avert a fall by an at-risk patient in one of the 15 rooms at the hospital. A collaboration of the hospital and CareView Communications, the system includes a camera in the patient’s room and a computer monitor at the nurse’s station. The alarm sounds if the patient moves beyond the virtual rails on the bed, or chair. Specialized software trips the alarm. “If a person starts to get out of bed, the alarm goes off,” said Sherilyn Skokan, director of patient care services. “Research shows that it takes 10 minutes from the time a patient gets out of bed to when they actually fall.”
Frequently, the exit from the bed occurs when an at-risk patient tries to get up without assistance, “We had a patient whom we told to call for help but she couldn’t remember, had a little dementia,” said Phyllis Shirk, RN. “We caught that.” That incident and others like it point to the effectiveness of having virtual rails. “Every unassisted exit from the bed will alert the alarm,” Skokan said, adding that patients have the choice of opting-out of the service. In place since March, the system has to date proven effective. “To us it makes a world of difference for us to be able to step up our game,” Skokan said. “It’s the best kind of safety intervention we can have because it’s not obtrusive for the patient.” Along with the cameras in the room, the system includes free on-demand movies.

Victor receives Main Street designation By Ashleigh Hollowell Contributing writer
In the fall of 2012, the town of Victor adopted its own city-sponsored Main Street Program. The program focuses on enhancing Victor’s downtown business district aesthetically, socially and economically by holding civic engagement in the community, boosting resident’s pride and improving historic preservation. On April 4, the city-sponsored Main Street Program became officially designated as a part of the Colorado Main Street Program and the National Main Street Program. According to preservationnation.org, cumulatively since the National Main Street Program began in 1980, commercial districts throughout the country taking part in the Main Street Program have produced more than $55.7 billion in new investment, with a net gain of more than 473,000 new jobs and 109,000 new businesses and more than 236,000 buildings have been improved.
UPCOMING EVENTS Upcoming events related to the Main Street Program include: Sinkhole De Mayo, the Annual Gold Rush Days and celebrating Victor’s 120th birthday as a town. All events will focus on bringing together local residents, businesses and promoting the town to outside visitors.
“We originally felt that becoming involved in this program would be beneficial because we saw the benefit of the local engagements of the program. That was huge for us. We wanted to build up the relationships with local residents and businesses in a positive, lasting way,” said Becky Parham, Victor’s Main Street Program manager. The Colorado Main Street Program is a branch of the National Main Street Program, a nonprofit organization that assists qualifying local governments and downtown organizations seeking support in restoring and reen-
ergizing their historic downtown and commercial districts. The Colorado Main Street branch program is administered by Colorado’s Department of Local Affairs and funded by the state’s historical fund. “The big difference is that we went from a Main Street candidate to an officially designated Main Street Community. We’ve received recognition for staying on the course and continuing to work the program successfully. There is more posterity and recognition that comes with the new title. We do get more funding from grants and outside sources as well now so that is a big bonus,” Parham said. “The most impactful change has been seen socially. Just in the climate of how things are done, the citizen empowerment. We run with the methodology that nobody else is going to save our town. That being said, I think that it motivated a lot more people to say ‘hey I need to do something.’ It created a culture of empowerment.” The Victor Main Street Program is an addition to Victor’s DREAM — downtown revitalization and economic acceleration movement —Program led by community members dedicated to advancing and improving the town. In the beginning of the program, the Main Street organization faced many obstacles before they were able to even begin improvement. “At first, we really struggled with the building codes from Teller County. The codes didn’t make sense with some of our historic buildings. We couldn’t do any work to really improve them without drastically changing them to meet the codes and then that would take away from the historic part of the building. So we had business owners, citizens and our design committee sat at a table with the Colorado Code Consulting Co. and we were able to adapt the building codes to meet our needs as a town and stream line a process of people trying to pull permits as well as making sure occupants of the buildings were also safe,” Parham said. Victor’s Main Street Program has four committees each designed around the National Main Street Program’s four main points: promotion, organization, design and economic restructuring. Each committee sets its own
annual business plan with some guidance from the Department of Local Affairs that focuses on the goals designated to their respective committee in order to bring the most success possible to the program. The Main Street Program has brought significant success to the town. The Promotions Committee has become very active in making the town known through participation in local parades and events. The “Facade Squad,” a group of retired volunteers who live in Victor and are very actively involved in the city’s Main Street Program, have painted the facades of 14 of Victor’s downtown buildings to improve their aesthetic appeal over the course of the past two summers. The group plans to paint five more facades this coming summer as well as work on window displays to continue the aesthetic enhancement of the town. “Our biggest goal is to work on creating positive perceptions of Victor. In the past, we were known for being kind of ornery. You could say the name ‘Victor’ and what came to mind for most people was ‘the town that recalled their mayor every six months.’” Parham said. “But we’ve really turned that around in terms of cohesion and participation and making an improved effort. We have a really great mayor and city council right now and really active committees that are made up of our citizens and business owners.” Improvement and advancement processes have only just begun in Victor. There are still numerous things to be done. “We are still working on preliminary things that had to be put into place before we can really do anything with the marketing. We still have a huge vacancy rate within our downtown and that’s one of our goals. To be able to create additional primary jobs, homegrown businesses and a place where those opportunities are ready for people who want to take advantage of them. Before we can do that though, we have to build up better relationships with our building owners. Most of them don’t live in town; some even live out of state. It’s hard to get together with them because of geography, but we’re working on improving the relationships nonetheless,” Parham said.

Baseball out of the hunt for return to postseason Panthers can finish no higher than fourth place in league By Danny Summers
dsummers@ coloradocommunitymedia.com Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Woodland Park’s run at a second consecutive state baseball appearance ended April 18 with a 6-1 loss to Widefield. The defeat, coupled with a victory by Mesa Ridge and a loss by Coronado, all but eliminated the Panthers from post season competition. “The small mistakes happened and we tried to press,” said Woodland Park coach Cliff Richardson after the Widefield game. “Everybody tries to press and things kind of go down from there.” Widefield’s Jacob Volcic pitched a complete game for the Gladiators, striking out nine while giving up three hits and no earned runs. Andrew Miller had a two-run double in a four-run fourth inning for the Gladiators as they got to Woodland Park starting pitcher Dakota Herman. Four of the six runs allowed by Herman were unearned as four costly errors helped lead to the Panthers’ demise. Woodland Park is 4-8 overall, 2-2 in the Class 4A Metro League. Mesa Ridge is 5-0 in league, while Coronado is 3-1 and Widefield is 3-2. Widefield, Mesa Ridge and Coronado own tiebreakers over Woodland Park. Only the top three teams advance to the playoffs. “My expectation doesn’t change from here on out,” Richardson said. “We play for

Woodland Park’s Sam Ballard prepares to unload on a pitch during the Panthers’ game with Valor Christian on April 15. Photos by Dave Turley pride. We play for each other.” The Panthers have had an up and down season. The last five games are very telling. On April 7 they managed just two hits against a good Pueblo South team during a 10-0 loss by the 10-run rule. Four days later they defeated a bad Harrison team 30-1. Woodland Park followed that victory with a 6-0 loss to Valor Christian in which the Panthers got just three hits. A day later they defeated a winless Mitchell team 26-1. Then came the 6-1 loss to Widefield. “We haven’t been in this situation for a while,” Richardson said, referring to his club being out of playoff contention with
so many games remaining. Woodland Park still has seven games to play. Richardson is concerned how his team will respond. “Hopefully the guys respond positively or we deal with the repercussions,” he said. “We have to step up.” Woodland Park has played in the restructured Metro League the past two seasons. It is a league that allows the Panthers a chance to be much more competitive than in previous seasons when it had to face the likes of state powerhouses Cheyenne Mountain, Air Academy and Palmer Ridge.
Next season brings another change as Coronado moves to 5A. The Classical Academy and Canon City will join the league, bringing the membership to eight teams. TCA has advanced to the 3A playoffs each of the past two seasons and is on its way to another playoff berth this spring. Canon City is always a perennial playoff team. But unlike most leagues in the state where teams within the conference play twice during the season, the Metro League will continue to play each conference opponent just once. “I’ve petitioned our (athletic director Michael DeWall) to play a home-and-home series,” Richardson said. “It doesn’t look like it’s going to happen, but I would like to see the league go that way.”
Graf resigns as Woodland Park’s girls basketball coach New boys and girls coaches could be named as early as this week By Danny Summers
dsummers@ coloradocommunitymedia. com The Woodland Park High School basketball coaching door continues to revolve. The latest head coach to step down is David Graf, who guided the girls’ program for six seasons. Graf turned in his letter of resignation to Panthers’ athletic director Michael DeWall last week. Graf, an English teacher at the school, cited among other things that he needed to commit more time to recruiting young campers for his family’s summer camp - Blue Mountain Ranch in Florissant. “It’s a combination of a lot of things, but the tipping point was that my family needed me out there,” Graf said. “I haven’t been able to recruit for the camp the last seven years. I’ve been coaching basketball and baseball. “The prime months for recruiting are November through February and I haven’t been able to recruit for them for a while.” Blue Mountain Ranch has been in Graf’s family for 68 years. His mother and father run the camp, with the help of Graf when he has the time.
David Graf, center talking to players, resigned recently resigned as the Woodland Park girls’ basketball coach. Graf was in his position for six seasons. Photo by Danny Summers “My mother called and said she was worried about the business, and when that happened I decided I need to work for the camp a little bit,” said Graf, who is married and has a two-yearold daughter. “I can’t imagine not having my daughter grow up there because it’s been such an amazing place.” Graf, who will remain as the school’s head junior varsity base-
ball coach, never had a winning record during his tenure as the school’s girls’ basketball coach. The Panthers were 5-18 last season, and a combined 26-112 in his six seasons. Graf brought stability to the program. He took over a Woodland Park team in 2008 that was 2-19 the previous season under Roger Duroux. Clint Johnston coached the team during the
2006-2007 season to a 9-14 mark. “I gave it a go for six years and I felt like I gave it a good effort,” Graf said. “Basketball is a tough sport up here.” Graf has high hopes for next year’s Panthers’ team. “They’ll have a solid senior class next year,” he said. “I was pleased with what the junior class did this year. We probably should have won some more games, but
it didn’t work out that way. “When the team really wants to play well, they will. Perhaps a new coach will be able to motivate them in a little better way.” Graf is the second Woodland Park head varsity basketball coach to resign in a month. In March, boys basketball coach Joel Herman resigned after two seasons. DeWall said that he is ready to announce new head coaches for both programs this week, pending school board approval. “It’s tough to lose people who have been loyal to the District as long as Dave has, but this gives us a chance to go in a different direction and start fresh with new coaching staffs,” DeWall said. DeWall added that he believes Woodland Park will have consistently winning basketball teams sooner than later. “It’s not just about winning games, but it’s about developing a program that can be competitive and consistent, both in conference and at the state level,” he said. “We need basketball to be competitive and be in the top half of league. “Basketball should be one of our revenue generating sports. In most schools it is. I want to get to that point where it is for us. And that happens when you have quality programs that you put on the floor that are consistently in the mix for league titles and in the mix for going to the playoffs. We haven’t had that for a while. Hopefully this will get us in the direction of getting to that point.”

Girls soccer team headed back to playoffs Panthers can finish no worse than third in league By Danny Summers
dsummers@ coloradocommunitymedia. com A 4-0 loss to Mesa Ridge on April 15 all but eliminated the Woodland Park girls’ soccer team from winning the Class 4A Metro League championship, but the Panthers will be returning to the post season for a second consecutive season. That’s because they have won seven of eight matches and are playing very much like a team that is on a mission. The Panthers rebounded from their loss to Mesa Ridge last week with shutouts over Mitchell, 3-0, and Harrison, 6-0 to clinch a playoff berth. Junior Jenny Sells had a combined four goals and two assists in the victories, while junior Morghan Sierakci had a pair of goals and three assists. Also scoring goals for the Panthers were sophomores Caitlan Thorne and Jayne Welch, and junior Cheyenne Wilcox. “We had injuries and we had one kid sick against Mesa Ridge,” Pappadakis said. “We weren’t at our peak for that game. A 4-0 score was not right. Something
was not right there. “If you look back at our record it demonstrates that we are a good team. We are beating teams that we probably would have lost to in the past, but we can’t play high-quality teams in a weakened condition.” Woodland Park is 8-3 overall, 4-1 in league. The Panthers finished the regular season with Coronado (4-6, 4-1) on April 22, but results of that game were not available at press time. Woodland Park has outscored league opponent 21-5 this season. The Metro League has an end of the season crossover tournament where each team gets a guaranteed three games. Woodland Park is playing for as high of a seed as it can get in the 32-team playoff bracket. “Our goal is to beat Coronado, and then go into the tournament and beat both Coronado and Mesa Ridge,” Pappadakis said. “That might give us a higher seeding in the playoffs. I don’t know. But it will certainly show that we are capable of playing with some good teams.” In 2013, Woodland Park was the No. 31 seed and lost a firstround match to No. 2 Palmer Ridge, 8-1. This year’s playoffs begin the second week of May. “We don’t care who we play in the playoffs,” Pappadakis said.

According to the staff memo from Historic Preservation and Planning Commissioner Kathy Stockton, the commission’s recommendation advised that Johnson be appointed to the one-year term because they felt his construction background would be beneficial and they wanted to avoid any negative public perception

“There’s no way to judge who we’re going to play. We just have to go out and play the best soccer we can play.” Pappadakis is still trying to figure out formations and improve
because Trenary is the sister-in-law of Mayor Bruce Brown. However, according to City Attorney Lee Phillips, there would not be a “conflict of interest.” Council also passed an ordinance to amend and update the city’s municipal code relating to the International Fire Code. The city’s last update was in 2003. The city will have the current fire code evaluated and updated in order to improve homeowners ISO (International Organization for Standardization) ratings which can help reduce homeowner’s insurance costs. In their final action for the Apr. 16 meeting, the council gave city staff the go ahead to research proposed revisions of the Cripple Creek Zoning Map and Development Code.
Some proposed revisions include: Changing the Bennett Business (BB) zone to Commercial-1 (C-1) zone south of Masonic Ave. Between South A St. and South 4th St. in a “T” shape south to the city limits and to include the former Hack Property; Change BB zone to C-1 in the area adjacent to the Gold King Mountain including the city-owned property and the state highway barn; Move PUD zone from West Eaton St. and North C St. (error) to West Eaton and Elizabeth St.; Within the BB zone, projets less than 3,500 sq. ft. do not require historic facade reviews and; Add “P” (permitted use) to text of Table1-2 for Gambling Halls in Gaming District for C-1 and C-2 zones

Decker successfully made the transition from gymnastics to diving board Woodland Park senior is headed to New Mexico State this fall By Danny Summers dsummers@ coloradocommunity media.com
Depending on how you look at, Sheridan Decker is either a gymnast who turned out to be a very good diver in a relatively short amount of time, or a good diver who happened to be a fantastic gymnast for a long time.
Either way, the Woodland Park High School senior will be diving for Division I New Mexico State this fall. “I like the environment (at New Mexico State), but what sold me was the people and the coach,” Decker said. “He was my old dive coach in Denver.” Decker dives for Mile High Dive Club in Denver five days a week. “She puts 1,000 miles on the car every week,” said Decker’s father, Doug. Decker performed 1-meter for her high school team (Manitou Springs) and 3-meters and platform

for her club team. Decker said that even though she will be graduating from Woodland Park, she felt a kinship with her teammates at Manitou Springs. “Last year I sort of half dove and I really wasn’t part of the team that much, but this year I felt a lot more included and I was part of something, so I didn’t feel like the school thing was any issue at all,” Decker said. Decker dove for Manitou Springs because Woodland Park does not field a team. Oddly, she practiced her diving at Cheyenne Mountain because the Manitou Springs pool does not have a diving board. Despite the unique circumstances Decker has turned out to be a pretty solid diver in a short amount of time. “We’re really excited for Sheridan,” said Manitou Springs diving coach Andrea Hassler. “She’s worked really hard. She really has the motivation and discipline to be able to excel as much as she has. “We’re looking forward to seeing her grow some more.” Decker qualified for the Class 4A state meet February and finished 16th overall. “She can be really tenacious with her diving,” Hassler said. “In diving there’s lot of fear involved. Fear of smacking the board. There’s a fear of smack-

So it can be a very heady sport, if you will. It can be intimidating. “Because of her prowess in gymnastics, she was able to bring that same thing to diving and was really motivated to learn new dives and motivated to excel and work really hard on her technique.” Decker is a level 10 gymnast and competed for Stars in Colorado Springs. She was a 7-time state qualifier before switching over to diving. She plans on majoring

in pre-Med and would like to be an emergency room physician. Decker will walk on her first year at New Mexico State - which is located in Las Cruces - and then have her scholarship paid for her final three years at the school. On a related note, two other Woodland Park athletes signed their National Letters of Intent on April 16. Kelee Suggs, a shortstop for the Panthers’ softball team who attends Manitou Springs, signed with Divi-

Earlier this year, Mallorie Trichell, a pitcher on the Panthers’ softball team, signed with Northeastern. “This says a lot about the dedication of the girls to the sport,” said Woodland Park softball coach Dale Huntington. “Every year now we are sending a kid or two to college.”
SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF ApRil 14, 2014
ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) You’re doing better on the flexibility issue, but you still need to loosen up a bit to show you can be less judgmental and more understanding about certain sensitive matters. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Your personal aspect continues to dominate this week. But try to make time to deal with important career-linked matters as well. A change of plans might occur by the weekend. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Excuses are not really needed for much of the confusion occurring this week. However, explanations from all parties could help in working things out to everyone’s satisfaction.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) That surprising (but pleasant) recent turn of events continues to develop positive aspects. But be prepared for a bit of a jolt on another issue that needs attention. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Creating a fuss might bring you that attention you want. But are you prepared for all the explaining you’d have to do? Better to use more subtle ways to make your bid. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) With education continuing to be a strong factor this week, this could be the time to start learning some new skills that can later be applied to a bid for a potential career move. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) You might do well to reconsider some of your current time priorities before you get so deeply involved in one project that you neglect meeting a deadline on another. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) With an important decision looming, you need to be careful about the information you’re getting. Half-truths are essentially useless. Get the full story before you act. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Find out what everyone’s role is expected to be before accepting that workplace proposal. Getting all the facts now could prevent serious problems later on. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) A flexible position on a workplace matter could be the best course to follow during the next several days. A personal issue also benefits from an open-minded approach. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) involving too many people in your workplace problem can backfire. Remember: Allegiances can shift. Ask trusted colleagues for advice, but don’t ask them to take sides. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Before submitting your suggestions, take more time to sharpen the points you want to make. The clearer the presentation, the more chance it has to get through when submitted. BORN THIS WEEK: Your clear sense of who you are gives you confidence when you need to tackle difficult situations. © 2014 King Features Synd., inc.
