WP Council listens to comments
Subjects include question for mayor, traffic, water rates, economic development By Norma Engelberg Contributing writer
After a 38-year partnership between the RE-1 School District and the Franklin Ferguson Memorial Library District, the entities are splitting up. As a result, the library’s board of directors intend to find a new location for the library and will be taking most of the inventory along. At right, Tim Braun, president of the RE-1 School Board, delivered a bombshell at the city council meeting July 2. In a dispute between the school board and the library board, which has the library packing up and moving, Braun thought he played the winning card – with a 1990 contract between the two.

Partnership dissolves for library/school By Pat Hill
phill@colorado communitymedia.com After 38 years of serving patrons at the Cripple Creek/Victor High School, the Franklin Ferguson Memorial Library is severing relations with the RE-1 School
District. At least that’s the way it was on July 3. Since the city council meeting the night before, the story’s ending is a moving target, with members of both boards drawing a line in the sand. Tim Braun, the school board’s president, presented to the council a man-
agement agreement from 1990 that gives ownership of the library’s inventory as well as control over its location within the high school to the city of Cripple Creek. For Braun, it was a bingo! moment but School continues on Page 4

park was filled with families enjoying food and music. A mainstay of the annual Fourth of July celebration in Memorial Park is the ride on a fire truck provided by Northeast Teller County Fire Protection District.
Besides the usual items on the July 3 Woodland Park City Council agenda, there were also a number of reports and public comments. During public comment on items not on the agenda, city resident David McCray asked Mayor David Turley to “step away” until allegations of sexual abuse of a child by someone in a position of trust against him are resolved. Turley thanked him for his input but made no further comments. Woodland Park utilities customer Todd Wiseman, whose home is located in one of the county “doughnut holes” surrounded by the city, asked if something could be done about high water costs now that building is picking up. As a nonresidential water customer, he pays double water rates for the 5,000 gallons he uses each month. City Manager David Buttery said he and Utilities Director Kip Wiley will meet with Wiseman to discuss the issue. Woodland Park Chamber of Commerce President Debbie Miller said she and other county community members have met with Sen. Michael Bennett and Colorado Department of Transportation officials to discuss how closures on U.S. 24 in Ute Pass will be handled. “We want eyes on the ground,” she said. “We don’t want CDOT to close the road based just on weather forecasts without even a drop of rain.” She announced that the city has recently welcomed 1,600 visitors as part of a Charis Bible College conference and the college expects to host another large group Aug. 12-15 at a Healing Conference. In his monthly report, Brian Fleer, director of the Woodland Park Office of Economic Development and executive director of the Downtown Development Authority, said the city’s Main Street Program application has been sent to the Colorado Department of Local Affairs and approval or denial should be back by mid-August. A group from the city will also be presenting a hard copy of the application to DOLA for some face-to-face time. Fleer also showed off the city’s new tear-off maps and two new brochures that he said will help him “tell the story of Woodland Park” to visitors when they stop at the Centennial Trailhead where Fleer’s office is located. “We always encourage people to stop at the visitors center if they haven’t already been there,” he said. A $436,000 Community Development Block Grant that will complete a water-line loop near the hospital has been approved. The grant was linked to the building of an 85-bed skilled-care facility next to the Pikes Peak Regional Hospital that will create jobs. Councilmember Gary Brovetto also brought up the problems with traffic on U.S. 24 through the city that inhibit the city’s ability to be pedestrian friendly, a problem noted on a recent Main Street Assessment. In answer to Brovetto’s comments, Buttery said he recently told the CDOT that the city is tired of more studies and that it’s time to do something about traffic. The city and CDOT will make seven changes on the highway that are designed to encourage behavioral changes, including adding orange flags to the 30 mph speed-limit signs, the addition of a third Council continues on Page 5

WP Council approves new rules Brew pub license, street name change round out July 3 agenda By Norma Engelberg Contributing writer
The Woodland Park City Council hadn’t met for a month but got back to business at the July 3 meeting where councilmembers approved a liquor license change for Ute Pass Brewing Co., changed a street name, approved the city’s new building department’s board of review rules of procedure, updated the city’s public records and research fees policy and heard an economic development report. Ute Pass Brewing is adding a brewing room and has requested a brew pub license. Owners Todd DeRemus and Scott Jones said they have their federal license and construction at their building at 209 E. Midland Ave. is going ahead. They will soon be able to sell beer brewed onsite. In 1948, a roadway in the Dewell Addition was platted as Circle Drive Avenue and in 1978, when the addition was replatted, the roadway’s name remained Circle Drive Avenue. Now, in line with the city’s street naming protocol that streets have only one roadway designation, Planning Director Sally Riley asked the council to ap-

prove dropping “avenue” from the roadway name. “The majority of the 15 residents on that roadway have already dropped ‘avenue,’” she said, adding that the name change is considered a housekeeping item and should also make the roadway name less confusing for first responders. Many building departments have boards of appeal but in Teller County and at the Pikes Peak Building Department this kind of board is called a board of review. With that said, for consistency the city’s new building department will officially call its appeals’ board a board of review. Other new rules of procedures cover board membership, selection of officers, meetings, powers and duties; procedures for hearing cases, rendering decisions, determining findings and how their decisions can be appealed; stay of proceedings, the giving of informal advice (just don’t, Riley said) and amendments. The state general assembly made changes to the way public entities produce copies of public records and how much can be charged for research and copying records. City Attorney Erin Smith said these changes must be implemented by the city, including a provision that requires posting its public record policy. The resolution passed by the city council allows the city clerk to update these policies without hav-

DDA Beauprez stands by ‘47 percent’ comments just Video surfaces as governor candidate touts running mate, party unity By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com On a week when the Bob Beauprez campaign was buoyed by a poll that showed him in a 44 percent tie with Gov. John Hickenlooper, it was instead a different number that stirred a media buzz. Hours into a statewide Republican “unity tour” on July 2 — where Beauprez traveled with former GOP rivals and his newly pegged gubernatorial running mate — Beauprez’s campaign ended up having to deal with the resurfacing of old comments. A 2010 video obtained by the Denver Post shows Beauprez making comments to the Denver Rotary Club that were reminiscent of those made by former presidential candidate Mitt Romney in 2012 - ones that ended up derailing the Romney campaign. “I see something that frankly doesn’t surprise me, having been on the Ways and Means Committee: Forty-seven percent of all Americans pay no federal income tax,” Beauprez said. “I’m guessing that most of you in this room are not in that 47 percent — God bless you — but what that tells me is that we’ve got almost half the population perfectly happy that somebody else is paying the bill, and most of that half is you all.” Beauprez said “there is a political strategy” on the part of Democrats to keep a large number of people dependent on the government because it helps their party create a “permanent ruling majority.” Democrats pounced on Beauprez’s comments. “When he was catering to his Tea Party base to win a primary, he warned of an impending ‘civil war’ and attacked 47 percent of Americans, including veterans and seniors, as lazy,” said Jennifer Koch, executive director for the Colorado Democratic Party, through an emailed statement. “Now he is trying sell his ‘Unity Tour’ across our state.”
But the Beauprez campaign stood by the comments. Campaign manager Dustin Olsen said in an emailed statement that Beauprez was making the point that “it’s sad more people are not doing well enough to pay federal income tax.” Beauprez does refer to income tax in his comments, which is a more accurate assessment than the one Romney made when he was speaking to Republican donors in 2010. Romney said that 47 percent of the country would end up voting for President Barack Obama “no matter what” because Beauprez they are “dependent on the government.” Still, Beauprez’s and Romney’s comments have a similar tone. Romney said that 47 percent of the country considers themselves victims and feel they are “entitled” to government benefits. Beauprez said that many people are “happy” to let the wealthy class take care of them. Olsen said the attack over Beauprez’s comments from four years ago is a futile effort on the part of Democrats to distract them from recent news in the race. “Clearly Hickenlooper and his radical liberal allies are desperate following the recent Rasmussen poll showing Bob Beauprez tied with John Hickenlooper,” Olsen said. The poll, which was conducted in the days after Beauprez won the Republican primary, shows Beauprez tied with Hickenlooper, with both men garnering 44 of support from respondents. Eight percent said they were undecided, while 4 percent said they preferred another candidate. Rasmussen is considered a Republicanfriendly polling firm. As for Hickenlooper, he told reporters after an unrelated Capitol press conference on July 3 that he had not seen the Beauprez video. “I just haven’t had time....” Hickenlooper said. “I keep intending to get to seeing that video and understanding it, but as you guys all know there’s a bunch of other stuff (to deal
with). You tell me what I should be spending my time on?”
Beauprez touts party unity The comments surfaced the day Beauprez rallied Republican support on a statewide “unity tour.” The tour featured several prominent Republicans, including his former rivals in the GOP gubernatorial primary — former Congressman Tom Tancredo, Secretary of State Scott Gessler and former state Senate Minority Leader Mike Kopp. All three men attended a Lakewood stop, where they conveyed the importance of winning Jefferson County — a swing county that is sure to be a key battleground in the fall. “It’s a swinging county in a swinging state,” Gessler told the crowd that was huddled inside a Jefferson County Republican campaign office. “The way Jefferson County goes will be the way Colorado goes in November. He will win if you all deliver Jefferson County.” Beauprez also introduced lieutenant governor candidate Jill Repella as his running mate. The Douglas County commissioner and Colorado native touted her county for having one of the fastest job-growth rates in the country. She also said the Democratic-majority Legislature “has run amok” by creating laws that hurt local communities — Repella provided no specifics behind that claim. “I always thought of Colorado as a place where you can breathe freely,” she said. “I feel suffocated now. I fell suffocated because of the things that are being pushed down on us in our communities.” Beauprez made comments that were similar to those he has been making throughout the campaign — ones that try to paint Hickenlooper as a failed leader who believes that more government is the answer to Coloradans’ problems. “That’s the real question that’s on your ballot this fall,” he said. “Do we as voters believe and trust in the beauty and decency and the genius of people, or do we believe in government? I believe in people.”
says no By Pat Hill
phill@colorado communitymedia.com Bill Page lost his bid to have tax-increment financing restricted for businesses that move from Gold Hill South to other properties within the Downtown Development Authority. In essence, Page’s request goes against the idea of a DDA, whose objective is to prevent blight by responsible development in downtown areas. According to paperwork released by the authority, the committee felt that, though Gold Hill Square has contributed to the community during the past 40 years, Page has had ample opportunity to redevelop the center to be financially competitive with other shopping centers within the DDA. However, rather than a total shutout to the request, the committee recommended that Page present other proposals “that allow the existing tenants to thrive and grow within the existing footprint of Gold Hill South, or development scenarios that support longterm success for Gold Hill South.”

Grow 4 Vets distributes free cannabis School By Pat Hill
phill@colorado communitymedia.com Roger Martin of Woodland Park has no qualms about speaking ill of the Veterans Administration, especially when it comes to marijuana. Even before the recent scandal broke, Martin was disgusted by the VA’s refusal to sanction marijuana as a treatment option for veterans. “I started meeting these guys who had post-traumatic stress disorder and they introduced me to other veterans with medical issues,” Martin said. “I realized just how idiotic the VA’s stance was on marijuana.” Founder of Operation Grow4Vets, Martin and his team staged the organization’s first free marijuana giveaway for veterans May 26 in Memorial Park in Colorado Springs. “The marijuana that we distribute to veterans is donated to us by growers, some are veterans, some aren’t,” Martin said. “In addition we provide grow equipment for veterans.” Martin is quick to point out that Grow4Vets operates strictly under
Amendment 64 which legalized marijuana in Colorado. “This has nothing to do with medical marijuana at all,” he said. “Our primary purpose is to distribute marijuana or cannabis-related products to veterans who need it for such things as PTSD, traumatic brain injury, chronic pain, multiple sclerosis and a wide variety of other serious ailments,” he said. “We screen veterans to make Martin sure they have a medical need.” Ninety percent of what the organization distributes is oil, oil tinctures, and edibles, cookies and brownies, not in the form of bud, he said. “Our goal is to help veterans with their medical problems,” Martin said. On another note, the VA recently changed the rules, allowing the use of marijuana along with pharmaceuticals, Martin said. “We tell our vets that they should tell their doctors if they are using marijuana,” he added.
As a veteran who suffers chronic pain, Martin gave up opiates in favor of marijuana, albeit with a reduced amount of the psychoactive ingredient, THC. “Cannabinoids is the part that is medicinal; THC is what makes you high,” he said. “For me, it would be great to have something during the day, since I’m in pain 24/7, that had a lot of CDB (cannabinoids) and not a lot of THC.” As the executive director of the organization, Martin has a plan. “The scientists who work with us are developing a strain of marijuana,” he said. “There’s an Israeli strain that has an undetectable level of THC and is not real high in cannabinoids but you can breed it with other plants to make it higher in cannabinoids.” As well, the scientists are developing a strain of hemp crossed with cannabis to create oil in other products that will contain less than .3 percent THC and be distributed to veterans nationally, Martin said. “Anything that contains .3 percent of Grow continues on Page 5

to the library board the document was outdated, replaced by a contract signed Feb. 26 by Braun and Penni Donatto, the library board’s president. However, that contract ended June 30. No matter, on July 3 board members, friends and librarian Mike McDonald were packing up the inventory, to be ready to move if negotiations for a new location could be finalized. The library will stay open through the month of July. In the flurry of the disagreement, McDonald had submitted a letter of resignation to the school board, leaving his position as a teacher/librarian. McDonald planned to stay on with the library district. In the past, the partnership was sealed with a memorandum of understanding between the two taxing entities. While the MOU was renewed every year, on May 29 the disagreement escalated, even though the issue had been percolating. According to Tom Litherland, the library board submitted a memorandum of understanding to the school board, as had been done in the past. In the event of termination of the agreement, the document states, all print and non-print materials and equipment shall go to the original owners. In the meantime, Braun took notice of the school district’s spending up to $150,000 a year to help cover library expenses. He submitted a one-page MOU prepared by the staff to the library board, a response to the MOU submitted by the library. “It was a starting point to tell us what the library’s expenses to the school were and how much it was costing us,” Braun said. “It wasn’t supposed to say ‘MOU.’” The document listed specific financial figures for services provided by each entity. “The minute you start adding numbers to an MOU, it becomes a contract; that’s how society works nowadays,” Litherland said. “It just blew me away.” With no response from the library board for a month, Braun said he drew up a service contract and presented the document May 29. The contract was not well-received. “They added $2 million for liability insurance — there’s a conflict here — because the school covers all the liability,” Litherland said. Braun explained. “The library is a public place; we have no control over who
comes in and out of there. They have to let perverts or sex offenders in,” he said. “If anything does happen with our kids there, we didn’t want that to fall on our insurance because then our rates would go up. It’s a real security problem. That’s why we asked them to carry their own insurance.” As well, the contract seeks $1,500 a month from the library for its share of utilities, maintenance and custodial services during the summer when the school is closed, Braun said. In the past, the school district contributed $426.04 toward McDonald’s salary, funds that were reimbursed to the school by the library. “They wanted to go through us so McDonald could get PERA benefits,” Braun said. “We stopped that. It’s costing the school district almost $100,000 a year for the librarian, which includes all benefits and PERA, on top of all the other expenses.” However, the library district has always funded the inventory. “We weren’t paying anything but at the same time our money went toward an assistant librarian, books, DVDs, computers and updating computers constantly,” Litherland said. As the situation looks bleak, despite the 1990 contract, Braun said. “We tried to be very reasonable; we submitted the contract to them because they never came back to respond to the negotiations. Ninety-nine percent of the contract I wrote was submitted to us by them (in the MOU). So what’s the problem?” Nonetheless, the library district rejected the contract. “It was not pleasant — believe me, we were all depressed as can be,” Litherland said. Donatto added, “It wasn’t a matter so much of not being able to afford it, we just felt we couldn’t agree to those terms,” she said. “We’ve been the school/library entity for the longest in the state of Colorado.” The decision to separate was made on the advice of legal counsel, Donatto wrote in a letter to Braun. School board member Don Daniel doesn’t agree with the contract, voted against it. “When you send a signed contract negotiations are over,” he said. “The partnership was a joint venture that was good for everyone. It’s too bad for the library district.” As each is a separate taxing entity, Daniel doesn’t think voters would pass an increase in property taxes for the library. “The economy is lousy and nobody is passing tax increases these days,” he said. “Even if we could change the contract, it’s too late to heal the wounds.”

Deer poached in Woodland Park neighborhood $500 Operation Game Thief reward offered Staff report Colorado Parks and Wildlife is looking for information about a deer that was shot over the last weekend in June in the Paradise Estates subdivision in Woodland Park. A district wildlife manager found the doe Friday. It had been shot with an arrow in the stomach. The deer was still alive and had to be put down. “The poacher used an arrow with a field or practice point, not meant for hunting, meaning that this animal definitely suffered,” said District Wildlife Manager in Teller County Tonya Sharp. Anyone who may have seen anything suspicious is asked to call Sharp at 719227-5281 or Operation Game Thief at 1-877-265-6648. “Poaching steals wildlife from everyone. Anyone with any information should call us right away,” said Sharp. Operation Game Thief is offering a $500 reward for information leading to a citation being issued or an arrest being made. Email tips can be sent to game.thief@state. co.us. Verizon cellphone users can dial #OGT. Callers to Operation Game Thief may remain anonymous if they wish.

THC is legal nationally.” In his advocacy for marijuana for veterans, Martin is compelled by the statistics. “Twenty-two veterans commit suicide every day and every 19 minutes in the United States someone dies of from a prescription-drug overdose,” he said. “A significant number of those people are veterans.” On the positive note, Martin cites the anecdotal evidence that marijuana is effective; some veterans, in fact, have reduced the amount of opiates they take for pain and, in some cases, eliminated all of them. “I get emails every day from veterans telling me they’re moving to Colorado because of Amendment 64 and what Operation Grow4Vets is doing,” he said. “They say they’re tired of being treated like criminals in the state they live in.” Grow4Vets collected marijuana donations during 4th of July celebrations in Colorado Springs. “By and large people are not aware of the real sacrifices that these veterans have made for them,” he said. Grow 4 Vets was featured in a CBS special June 25.

If the Green Mountain Falls board of trustees approves an intergovernmental agreement with six regional entities, the town would be eligible for funding for stormwater projects. The IGA is a preliminary to seeking voter approval in November to form the Pikes Peak Area Regional Drainage Authority. If approved, a single-family residence could expect to pay about $10 a month. The authority is expected to collect up to $52 million a year. At the meeting on July 1, the board heard details in a presentation by Dave Munger, member of the stormwater citizens’ advisory committee, and Carol Baker, engineer with the city of Colorado Springs. If the town joined El Paso County, the cities of Colorado Springs, Manitou Springs, Monument, Fountain and Palmer Lake, the list of stormwater projects would include those in Green Mountain Falls, Baker said. According to the IGA, any funds that are collected from a community will be given back to the community on a five-year rolling average. “So there will be time to come up with details about your highest-priority projects,” Baker said. Munger outlined the apportionment part of the authority. If approved by voters, 55 percent of the funds would be for capital projects, 35 percent for operations and maintenance, 9 percent for emergencies and planning and 1 percent for administration. With an estimated $700 million worth of delayed infrastructure projects and $14

million a year in maintenance, the authority could get a jump on trying to stay ahead of the latest storms. “If we had done this 25 years ago when the rest of the Front Range did it, it would cost us $30 million less a year,” Munger said. “The longer we wait the more it’s going to cost us.” As an economic infusion, the stormwater projects are expected to provide 350 local jobs while lowering insurance rates for homeowners, Munger said. The ballot measure is a response to the lack of a funding stream for stormwater projects in Colorado Springs and the surrounding area. “That’s one of the reasons we’re concerned about this. A year ago we found out what not paying attention looks like,” Munger said, referring to the floods of the summer of 2013. “We want to make sure we don’t have that same sort of problem again.” Munger strengthened his advocacy with an appeal to a shared sense of danger from flooding but one with a proposed solution. “There is some synergy we’re anticipating, both in the engineering and political sense that should save us money to do things that will have an immediate impact on communities,” Munger said. “Because it is taking combined resources of the entire watershed and addressing things that would take you years to raise and address them quickly because everybody else downstream will understand that the benefits go to them as well.” Before making a decision, Mayor Lorrie Worthey welcomed the two to come back July 15 for further discussion. On another note, the board delayed a decision on allowing trail building on Dewey Mountain. As well, the board hired Michael Cullinane as the new employee in the public works department.

Victor museum welcomes Teddy Roosevelt to Historic Gold Coin Club Staff report Vice-presidential nominee Teddy Roosevelt visited Victor in September of 1900. The Rough Rider was run out of town by an angry mob but returned later to accept apologies and to speak at Victor’s Gold Coin Club. That event will be recalled as Roosevelt, portrayed by Don Moon of Colorado Springs, will appear at the Gold Coin Club Sept. 6 as a fundraiser for Victor Lowell Thomas Museum. The event includes a bully reception, silent teddy bear auction and the presentation. Teddy bears were named after Teddy Roosevelt who refused to shoot an old, defenseless bear as part of a hunting trip. Roosevelt’s first trip to Victor was not the typical political welcoming one might expect. In 1900, Danny Sullivan, postmaster in Cripple Creek, arranged for President William McKinley to send Roosevelt to the Gold Camp to round up votes of Silver Republicans and anti-gold standard Democrats. The details of Roosevelt’s trip are chronicled in Mabel Barbara Lee’s 1984 book; “Cripple Creek Days.” As the story goes, Roosevelt was feeling “bully” as he climbed down off a train at about 3 p.m. in Victor. Standing close by was a crowd of William Jennings Bryan supporters, who began shouting insults and waving “Hang T.R.” banners. Bryan, the Democratic nominee, was also campaigning in the district that year, running against McKinley. Sensing that the hostile crowd was not
going to settle down any time soon, Sullivan rushed Roosevelt two blocks to the to the Victor armory hall where he was to give a brief speech. On the way there, the hecklers waved placards, warning Roosevelt to get out, and threatened to “tar and feather him” if he didn’t do so. According to Lee, Roosevelt made it to the armory, but the angry mob was still in pursuit, and “started throwing rocks, sticks and tin cans.” Sullivan was able to get Roosevelt back on the train and he continued on his trip to Cripple Creek. In August of 1901, Teddy rode the Short Line Railroad over the scenic route which is now known as Gold Camp Road. At one point near Rosemont, where travelers could see all the way to Kansas, Roosevelt exclaimed, “this is the ride that bankrupts the English language.” This time, Teddy was all welcomed to Victor with open arms. He toured the Portland and Gold Coin mines. He dined with Gold Camp heavy hitters Spencer Penrose, Irving Howbert, Jimmy Burns and Warren and Harry Woods. He also shook thousands of hands at a reception in his honor and spoke at the Gold Coin Club. The event is being sponsored by the Victor Lowell Thomas Museum. Advance reservations are required and a maximum of 50 tickets will be sold. The event starts at 5 p.m. at the Gold Coin Club on Diamond Avenue west of North Fourth Street.

GERARD HEALEY President ROB CARRIGAN Publisher and Editor STEPHANIE OGREN Copy Editor PAT HILL Community Editor VIC VELA State Desk Reporter
Haunted by the ghosts in town I am haunted by the ghosts of a town. At the first of the year, I stood on the hill, looking down through valley and thinking how familiar this all was... But now also, how surreal. It had been years since I had been in town at all, and longer than that since I stood on the hill. The place doesn’t change much. Guess that I had changed a bunch. Or at least the fabric around me. Years ago, I might have been standing there with friends that also grew up there ... some of them long gone now, some passed more recently, some still around. Always, the river defines the valley, and the ridges on each side. I can look down and pick out my former boyhood home on the corner of Seventh Street, and Hillside Avenue, the empty lot where I once worked for Taylor Hardware, the building where the garage was in which my dad worked, even far off in the distance, the old football field and rounded rib beams of the old gym. Climbing up, to get an even better view I stumble over a blue, glass telephone insulator laying in the gravelly, blue-yellow dirt by a couple of Yucca plants and the Mountain Mahogany. I wondered if I strung some wire and hooked up the Groundhog line equipment I remembered as kid, with wooden boxes, bells and cranks ... I could dial up the past. Take me way back “Father Fray Francisco Atanasio awoke somewhat improved, and in order to change terrain and climate rather than to make progress, we set out from the camp and Rio de San Lázaro toward the northwest. We traveled a little more than a league, swung west by west-northwest, and went five leagues through leafy forests and good pastures. Then we turned west, traveled two and a half leagues through a chamise thicket with little pasturage, went a quarter of a league to the north, crossed Rio de Nuestra Señora de los Dolores, and camped on its north bank. This river rises on the north slope of the Sierra de la Plata, and runs southwest to this place, where it
makes a sharp turn. It is a little smaller than the Rio del Norte in this season. - Today a little more than eight and a half leagues,” wrote Francisco Silvestre Vélez de Escalante about the valley, on August 12, 1776. Not far from this very spot, hundreds of years ago. The next day, in the Diary and Itinerary of Fathers Dominguez and Escalante (English Translation), the padres found it hard to leave. “We remained in camp, partly so that the Father might improve a little and be able to go forward, and partly to observe the latitude of this site and meadow of the Rio de los Dolores where we were. An observation was made by the sun and we found we were in 38° and 13 1/2’ north latitude. Here there is everything needed for the establishment and maintenance of a good settlement in the way of irrigable lands, pastures, timber and firewood. On an elevation on the south bank of the river in ancient times there was a small settlement of the same form as those of the Indians of New Mexico, as is shown by the ruins which we purposely examined. Father Fray Francisco Atanasio felt better, and we decided to continue our journey next day,”Escalante writes August 13, 1776. Ancient times settlements were looked at again by the archeologists, or ‘Bonediggers,’ (as we were prone to call them) from Washington State and University of Colorado. I recall Dr. Bill Lipe’s visits, most afternoons in the hardware store. Odd how the friars thought of it as “ancient,” even a few hundred years ago. The padres followed the river for a while, to the North, as I did. “We set out from the meadow and river
of Dolores toward the north, and having traveled a quarter of a league we turned northwest for a league, and northwest by west five leagues through a somewhat difficult chamise thicket. We then entered a deep and broken canyon, and having traveled in it two leagues to the north, we arrived a second time at the Rio de los Dolores, which here runs northwest. We crossed it twice within a short distance and camped on the west bank, naming the place, which is a small meadow of good pasturage, La Asunción de Nuestra Señora. This afternoon we were overtaken by a coyote and a genizaro of Abiquiú, the first named Felipe and the second Juan Domingo. In order to wander among the heathen, they had fled from that pueblo without the permission of their superiors, protesting that they wished to accompany us. We did not need them, but to prevent the mischief which either through ignorance or malice they might commit by traveling alone any longer among the Yutas if we tried to send them back, we accepted them as companions. - Today eight and a quarter leagues,” noted the entry of August 14, 1976. Of all the changes, perhaps this northern swing has changed the most. The lake was a big deal when I was growing up. Tunnels moled. Gravel pits now under water, dig up parts of the graveyards to relocate, log off the gambel oak brush, houses abandoned, the old lumber town of McPhee submerged, dams built, lakes created, “Ancients” and their stuff recovered. Like Fathers Dominguez and Escalante, by now I’ve ‘wandered among the heathen’ for more years than I spent in the little town on the river. But I recall the time and place fondly and intensely... folks like my dad and mom, Merton Taylor, Don Ripley, Larry and Marilyn Pleasant, neighbors and even some of my girl friends (not that there were that many.) Old buildings, new shanties. Still, I find connections there on the banks. Still, I’m haunted by the ghosts. I say their name, but can’t always see or touch them. Always, they are there, part of the fabric.
Markus, Louise LeRoy, Jack and Bev Elwell. For many years, they solicited funds from local businesses, organizations and private individuals. The first year they presented one scholarship in the amount of $250.00. The extra funds collected were put into an interest bearing account. Over the years as the funds grew, and the committee changed, they were still able to increase the amount of the scholarship and also increase the number of WPHS seniors who could benefit. Because of all the past donations, the current committee was able to award five scholarships this year. Each of the five WPHS seniors was awarded $1,100.00. Sadly, this

Branding with high altitude weight loss For 17 years I’ve watched the city of Woodland Park search for an identity that would attract both residents and tourists. There has been an attempt to brand the town as a World Theater center, an art community, a music Mecca, a youth baseball tournament town and a hiking, biking and fishing destination. I actually had the brilliant idea in 2005, after counting the 3,012 fast food outlets in the 1.5 miles of Highway 24 that runs through town, that the city should pitch itself as a place to come and “Eat-Yourselfto-Death.” For some reason, that never caught on. Finally, however, I think I’ve got it and it’s the antithesis of my previous brain child. There’s a growing body of evidence demonstrating that even stays as short as a week at high altitude locations can help people lose weight. With the CDC claiming that 69 percent of American adults are either overweight or obese and with a 2013 study showing that
Americans that live at sea-level are 4 to 5 times more likely to be obese that those who live in the high altitude communities of Colorado, I think I may have stumbled on to the perfect identity for Woodland Park … “Skinny Capital Above the Clouds.” We would, of course, need a new logo but that’s OK because the one we have now is stone ugly. Weight loss in the mountains has long been observed by mountaineers and a research study back in 1957 established that animals lose weight at high altitudes as
well. What we didn’t know until a few years ago was that a brief stay in the mountains could be a way to jump start your weight loss program. In 2010, scientists at Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich, transported 20 sedentary obese men average age 56 to a research center on Germany’s highest mountain, the Zugspitze, where they spent a week at an elevation of 8,700 feet. No restrictions were placed on what the men ate or drank but their exercise was restricted to leisurely walks inside the research facility. According to a report on WebMD, food intake and activity levels were closely monitored and the research team measured the men’s weight, metabolic rate, levels of hunger and satiety hormones before, during and after their mountain retreat. The men loss an average of 3.5 pounds and were able two of those pounds off a month after their return to Munich. The research subjects consumed fewer calories during their high altitude retreat
and also burned more calories in the mountains, even though they had exercised no more than they normally would have at home in Munich. Scientist believe their reduced food consumption was due to a spike in leptin, a satiety hormone. The men’s metabolic rate also spiked resulting in a higher caloric burn. I rest my case. “Get Skinny Above the Clouds” can bring thousands of tourist as well as new residents to our community, while solving Woodland Park’s identity crises. Now, we just have to figure out what we’re going to do with those 3,012 fast food outlets.

The Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo has long history A few years ago I was the home of local musician Floyd Frame and ran across a program of the “Second Annual Will Rogers Rodeo,” held Aug. 19-21, 1938, at the Will Rogers Stadium, near the famed Broadmoor. The program was in outstanding shape - call it near-mint to mint - and contained information on the rodeo, stadium and life of the late Will Rogers, who died in a plane accident in 1935 in Alaska. Rogers was a personal friend of Spencer Penrose, who gained his wealth in the mines of Cripple Creek and Utah - among other places - and was the city’s most influential philanthropist of all-time. And that comes with no disrespect to General William Palmer of Colorado Springs fame and many of his contemporaries. Penrose built the huge 304-feet wide and 539-feet long stadium on the grounds of the Broadmoor in honor of Rogers. The complete structural framework - almost ahead of its time - was erected by the American Bridge Company of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
The 10,000- seat outdoor stadium was covered and insulated for the best sound quality and was dubbed by Penrose as “the scene of some of the greatest sporting events in the United States.” The original stadium was dismantled and moved to its current location in 1974. Three men, Penrose, Charles Leaming Tutt, and Jasper Ackerman, are primarily responsible for creating three of this city’s most prominent rodeo organizations. Those organizations are the Colorado Rodeo Associations (CSRA), the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA), and Norris-Penrose
Unusual on Pikes Peak There are several unusual things that have been on the top of that mountain. But I was recently asked about this one. Now, I have told the story of Erin O’Keefe, the little child eaten by the rats. This never happened, but there was a wooden headstone for her on display up there for some 40 years! This is about Carl Lotave, an artist who had lived in Colorado Springs. He lived his last years in New York City. He was from Sweden, but had moved to Lindsborg, Kan., in the 1890s to teach painting. He had visited the Pikes Peak region to get inspiration for landscape paintings, and moved to the area in 1901. He moved to New York just after World War I. He had painted numerous portraits of many world leaders, and had done murals in New Mexico’s state house. In New York he was known as a portrait artist. When he became ill in 1924, he looked for a final resting place. In 1924, Spencer Penrose owned the automobile road up Pikes Peak. Lotave was familiar to Penrose, when he approached him with an idea. The idea was to start a very special cemetery on the summit, for special creative people. It would be the highest burial ground in the United States. Several others had thought of such a center, but it was Lotave who actually got Penrose to agree with the idea. The plan was for a special building to
tween the Los Angeles Bulldogs and the Pittsburgh Pirates of the old American Football League. The stadium was considerably larger than the present stadium. The cost of building it was $1 million and, as Penrose often pointed out, was “built without government money.” The Rodeo has been held every year, except 1942-1945. When it resumed after World War II it was dedicated to the men and women who had sacrificed their lives in the war. This tradition has continued to this day and is also the tradition now of the Norris-Penrose Event Center. The Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo runs this year from July 9-12. It used to be sanctioned by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA), but starting this year will no longer partner with the PRCA. In 2008, the rodeo was inducted into the PRCA Hall of Fame. The Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo has raised more than $5 million for military charities. It is/was one of the PRCA’s top 30 prize-money rodeos.

be constructed near the highway summit house where services would be conducted. A wall of stone from the mountain would have pockets for placement of the urns of the famous artists, writers, scientists and others. Lotave’s urn containing his ashes was ready in January, 1925, but official permission for the cemetery was not. In the end it was decided that there would not be a cemetery, but there is one grave. Carl Lotave’s marker can be found on the summit, if you know where to look. A plaque on a stone gives no clue that it is a grave marker. He is the only one buried on the top of the mountain with an official marker. I have seen the ashes scattered of others who wanted to be part of the mountain, but officially, it is not allowed. One of my co-workers on the railroad was scattered on his favorite spot on the mountain, but that was on land that was owned by the railroad.
Michael, 56, died peacefully on June 14, 2014. Mr. Wolff was preceded in death by his father, James A. Wolff and his brother Mark Wolff. He is survived by his mother Katherine M. Wolff, his brother James A. Wolff II, his sisters Kathy L. Wolff, Mary A. Pierce (Roger), Lynn A. Ball (BJ), and Susan L. Wolff. Michael was devoted to his faith, his family, his friends, his dog Boris, and helping anyone in need.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor: At the July 1 board meeting in Green Mountain Falls the trustees passed the payment of bills as one of their agenda items. Seemingly innocuous at first glance, if you look a little closer there appears a line item for the purchase of an automobile for the marshal’s department for $5,000. Just doing the town’s business — perfectly logical- probably a great deal
Event Center. Penrose was a man of considerable vision and believed that the Pikes Peak region could capitalize on the Pikes Peak or Bust Days celebration and beef up the tourist industry. The Pikes Peak or Bust Days celebration of 1936 had been particularly successful and had drawn a large number of tourists to the city. The following year, Penrose staged the first professional rodeo at the Cheyenne Mountain Polo Field on what is now Polo Drive. There was an immediate problem, however, as the polo stadium only provided seats for 500 people. Penrose immediately began plans for building a stadium that would contain 10,000 covered seats. In 1938 the “Will Rogers Memorial Stadium” was built on the west side of the Broadmoor Lake across from the hotel. It was opened, but still unfinished, and initially dedicated, in August 1938 and hosted the Pikes Peak of Bust Rodeo. It was re-dedicated in November 1938 when it hosted a football game be-
but it’s an unbudgeted capital expenditure! That means there was no money in the in the certified budget to handle this cost. Where does the money come from? Was it a gift? A grant? Did it fall out of the sky? If they had come across that kind of Letter continues on Page 10

Recycling bins set for use by Woodland Park Grant helps encourage recycling in public spaces, special events By Norma Engelberg Contributing writer
Usually grants mean money. For Woodland Park, however, the Coca-Cola Foundation/Keep American Beautiful Recycling Bin Grant means the city now has 18 tough new metal, 34-gallon recycling bins. According to City Planner and Keep Woodland Park Beautiful Committee liaison Lisa Parnell, these cans will be placed in city public spaces such as Meadow Wood Sports Complex, other city parks and city hall. They can also be used at special events, starting with the city’s Old Fashioned Fourth of July. Parnell stated in a news release that the recycling bin grant program started out nine years ago and has provided almost 4,500 bins to colleges and universities, nonprofits and local governments, with more than 65 percent of the total designed specifically for permanent, ongoing use in heavily-trafficked public spaces and events. “We’re going to track usage for the next six months with the help of a volunteer and teens from the Teen Center who will learn about recycling while they help sort,” she told the Woodland Park City Council on July 3. To learn more about helping with this effort, call Parnell at 719-687-5209.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Continued from Page 9
money it would have been cause for celebration. Heard anything like that? I haven’t. The fact is that this type of expenditure should be discussed in an open meeting. Why wasn’t it? Were the trustees afraid it might cause a controversy since two meetings back they were making pleas to anyone who would listen about how desperately the town needed donations to make ends meet this year? Or is it a case of the marshal just gets whatever he asks (or demands) for? Whatever the reason, it shows an abysmal lack of transparency and openness and inclusion on the part of
a group who touts their high standards in that respect. It may even be illegal. The town’s policy on department spending has always been to spend what you need to do the job as long as you stay within the budget. The cap on that has always been $1,000 (very liberal if you ask me). In other words, if your expenditures change over the course of the year you can rearrange them as long as you stay within your budget. Any deviation involving $1,000 or more would require an OK from the liaison/trustee as long as it stays within the budget. Any change beyond that requires a vote of the board in open session after discussion and justification by the department head. None of this took

place! The Marshal’s report made no mention of acquisition, cost, need of any kind or anything pertinent to the issue. The newer members of the board can probably plead ignorance this time, but both Mayor Worthey and Mayor Protem (Tyler) Stevens are well aware of how this works. Between them they compile around 20 years of experience in town procedures. Is this the kind of leadership we can expect? Where is all that transparency, information, inclusion and engagement? Does the BOT have any faith in the people they represent? Should we have any faith in them? This was no simple oversight. This was an attempt to acquire an asset they want (not need) without
disclosing the details or ability to pay for under current budgetary constraints. The idea that we “Just get it, we’ll find the money later” cannot work. It kinda smells like the “federal model.” We should be better than that. I, for one, will be holding onto my wallet a little tighter when dealing with these folks from now on. I’d encourage you to do the same. And, by the way don’t you think they ought to print out the “bills run” and post it at the same time they print out the agenda from now on? Sincerely, Mac Pitrone Former trustee

Organization says goodbye to Golden Circle By Pat Hill
phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com While the Golden Circle Nutrition Program for senior citizens in southern Teller County has been canceled, there’s a new plan in the works. “We have every intention of providing some type of meal program but we’re waiting for the results of the survey while investigating options and opportunities,” said Mary Bielz, president of Community of Caring which hosts the lunch five days a week in Victor and Cripple Creek. As results of the survey trickle in, it’s apparent that the Golden Circle program is not fulfilling the organization’s goal of providing nutrition along with socialization. “We’re not dropping lunch but just going to something that will be more effective,” Bielz said. “We’re really excited because it’s been awhile since we’ve done an assessment of this scope.” The revised plan could include lunch, along with workshops with topics relevant to seniors such as insurance issues, wills, caregiving or crafting, for instance. “They all come for lunch so let’s seize the moment and expand on that, in terms of socialization,” she said. Bielz lists three reasons why the federal lunch program is going by the wayside. “The rules and regulations from the federal government are becoming more restrictive and constrictive,” she said. In addition, the program is not cost-effective, what with paying for a cook, along with the cost of transporting food from Colorado Springs which makes each meal $8. “We live in a unique community where casinos are able to provide free or at greatly-reduced prices for meals for the senior population,” she said. The Golden Circle program is run by the Colorado Housing Authority. “You have to look at impact; we got a grant from the Colorado Housing Authority but we backed it up with funds from Community of Caring,”
Mary Bielz, executive director of Community of Caring, fills her office with years of memorabilia from the hundreds of projects she’s led to help others in southern Teller County. Recently, Bielz and the organization have quit the Golden Circle program only to replace it with something much better, to be announced in September. Photo by Pat Hill Bielz said. The third reason is that the program was having no perceived impact on the senior population. As a result, the survey, in part, seeks answers on what does impact senior citizens. “The survey assesses knowledge of current programs, opportunities and
prioritization, gauges needs and gaps in service to this demographic,” Bielz said. Bielz and her team at the Aspen Mine Center are persistent and expect feedback from close to 90 percent of the target group. Their tactics include going door-to-door in Victor and Cripple Creek, stationing vol-
unteers at both post offices and snagging people at the center. “We’re jazzed,” she said. “We want people to tell us. We’re exploring; we’ll have some kind of program that will be positive and engaging.” Bielz expects to have an announcement in September.

hat is bright orange and yellow, flies and appears once a month on the helipad at Pikes Peak Regional Hospital? It’s the remotebased Flight for Life helicopter. “When we come up here we’re closer to other agencies to help out,” said John Gilmore, paramedic with Centura Health, which provides the aircraft. Gilmore and his partner, Alethea Tafoya, RN, have seen it all. While some campers fall into campfires,
others fall off horses, motorcycles, ATVs and mountain bikes. “We have emergency gear for landing in the backcountry,” Gilmore said. “We have a high commitment to the wilderness.” The helicopter assists search and rescue teams in the wilderness and in avalanche country. As well, the crew includes a fire-watch team and offers tactical police support. In Teller County, the helicopter and crew are standby with sheriff’s SWAT team. The pilot, John Astrup, is a selfdescribed taxi driver. “We get real busy as the weather warms up,” he said. From the hospital helipad, the copter can make an easy jaunt to
Cripple Creek, if called. Victims of accidents who appear to have neurological injuries are flown to Colorado Springs, a 13-minute ride from that city. The air bus helicopter, built by Eurocopter, is the same model that holds the world record for landing on Mt. Everest. One of six in service in Colorado, the helicopter was stationed at Crystal Reservoir during the Hill Climb June 29 and will be available during the USA Pro Challenge Aug. 22. “We are a flying ICU that takes sick and injured people to the best place,” Gilmore said. The helicopter is stationed at the hospital on the last Friday of the moth in June, July and August.

Stories galore in the ER By Pat Hill
phill@colorado communitymedia.com Summer in the ER at Pikes Peak Regional Hospital reflects the Colorado lifestyle and the mishaps that come with over-indulgence amid nature’s splendor. “We certainly see a surge from about mid-May to two weeks after Labor Day,” said Sherilyn Skokan, director of patient care services. This summer’s visitors to the emergency room include a Boy Scout who suffered finger laceration from whittling too energetically and a flatlander RVer who had trouble breathing. “You’ll see RVs in our parking lot. We go out of our way to accommodate people such as making sure they can spend the night with their loved one,” Skokan said. With the variety of camps in the area, some of which serve children with chronic conditions, the hospital is a medical refuge. “We see children who have leukemia with an infection that could potentially be life-threatening,” Skokan said. For people who meet their match in recreational vehicles, the hospital has a name for falling off stuff — ejection from conveyance. “People get
onto things — it could be a horse, an ATV motorcycle or mountain bike,” Skokan said. “At some point they will fly off of whatever they were on and frequently alcohol is involved. We see quite a bit of trauma in the summer.” If all that weren’t enough, there’s the human-meets-wildlife factor. “We have seen motorcyclists who have hit bears or deer,” Skokan said. If it isn’t one thing it’s another. Take the teenager with a fish hook caught in her foot, for instance. “We take fish hooks out of all body parts, when necessary,” she said. In a fast-paced world, even a summer in the mountains, the hospital offers convenience while contributing to the fix-it-so-I-can-be-on-my-way mentality. “They’re here and if they had to leave the area, it just disrupts that whole plan,” said Eric Riggle, the hospital’s marketing director. “The emergency room here saves people a lot of aggravation and time. In most cases they can get back to their activities.” Compared to the larger hospitals east of Woodland Park, the wait time for service is no contest. “We’re constantly getting positive feedback from patients who have chosen to go down the hill on other occasions and waited hours,” Skokan said. “Here they were
seen immediately, treated in an expeditious fashion and able to go back to where they were.” Granted, the hospital is not equipped to treat every emergency but air ambulances can transfer the patient to the appropriate location, the burn centers in Colorado Springs. “But the sooner we can start treatment the sooner we can lessen the severity of the burn,” Skokan said. While a patient who has suffered a stroke will ultimately be treated at the larger hospitals, immediate treatment can be started at PPRH. “Stopping here gets you definitive care, possibly 20 minutes sooner,” she said. From a business standpoint, the emergency room has a multiplier effect on the bottom line. “In the summer in the radiology department, 35 percent of their volume comes from the emergency room,” Riggle said. Directed by Dr. Scott Sanford, the emergency room can be comfortable, despite the trauma. “One of the things that speak to our quality-of-life up here, the kind of care we’re able to deliver, is that we’ve a steady staff,” Skokan said. “There’s a great deal of satisfaction that we get being able to feel like we’re impacting people’s lives; it helps with job satisfaction. We know the people we’re taking care of.”

The new gift shop in Cripple Creek springs from donations of Jan Hubby and the Little Lode store on Bennett Avenue. After 37 years, Hubby retired and donated her inventory to the Community of Caring, a nonprofit organization whose work enhances the lives of the low-income residents in southern Teller County. For five years the organization sold the inventory from its offices in the Aspen Mine Center, until recently, when they ramped up the fundraising with a storefront. Today, the shop is managed entirely by volunteers while relying on donations of antiques and other treasures to keep the inventory replenished – and moving. Carol Noble, pictured, a generational resident of the town, and her husband, Taylor Noble, are among the people who help the organization thrive. “We’re trying our wings and the store is doing great!” said Mary Bielz, the organization’s executive director.

Lawmakers urge removal of gay-marriage roadblocks Steadman says same-sex nuptials in Colorado are ‘inevitable’ By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com A group of gay state lawmakers on July 3 called on Colorado officials to “concede” that the state’s ban on gay marriage is unconstitutional and to avoid putting up any more legal barriers that delay “inevitable” same-sex nuptials. That urging — and the state Attorney General’s decision that same day to take legal action against a county clerk who has been issuing “invalid” gay marriage licenses — capped a flurry of activity surrounding gay-marriage court battles from last week, an issue that is expected to become even more eventful in the coming weeks. The lawmakers, all Democrats, held a Capitol press conference to urge Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper and Republican Attorney General John Suthers to essentially get out of the way of legal battles over same-sex marriage that are consistently being won across the country by supporters of marriage equality. “It’s about to happen and now we’re seeing the end game,” said state Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver, who added that it is “inevitable” that same-sex marriage will

become legal in Colorado, as it has in several other states. The most recent victory for gay marriage supporters was a 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling in Denver last week that Utah could not prevent gays from getting married there. The appeals court stayed its ruling until the U.S. Supreme Court takes up the issue. And since the 10th circuit court includes the state of Colorado, it means that the state’s ban on gay marriage — which was supported by Colorado voters in 2006 — will remain in place, pending a Supreme Court decision. However, that did not stop Boulder County Clerk Hillary Hall from issuing same-sex marriage licenses almost immediately after the court’s decision. And Boulder County has continued to issue those licenses in spite of threats of legal intervention on the part of the Attorney General’s office. Those threats culminated in a lawsuit that was filed by the AG’s Office on July 3, which calls on Hall to stop issuing “invalid” marriage licenses. “Regretfully, our office was forced to take action against Boulder County Clerk Hillary Hall due to her refusal to follow state law,” Suthers said through an emailed statement. “While we would prefer not to sue a government official, Ms. Hall’s actions are creating a legal limbo for both the state and the couples whose relation-
ships she wants to champion. That limbo could have tangible and unintended consequences.” A hearing was expected to be held in a Boulder courtroom on July 9. Further showing that this issue moved at lighting-like speed last week, Suthers’ decision to sue Boulder County came just one day after Suthers and Hickenlooper asked a federal court to issue an injunction declaring the state’s gay marriage ban to be unconstitutional. That move deals with a lawsuit that was filed by six couples in a Denver federal district court who are seeking to overturn the state’s gay marriage ban. However, they are asking for that injunction to be stayed, pending a Supreme Court outcome. The move suspends all trial court litigation on the matter. Suthers is not a supporter of gay marriage. But he sees the reality before him — that all lower courts have ruled on the side of gay marriage supporters. So, Suthers does not see the point in continuing to drag the issue through the lower court process and using tax dollars to fight against something that is going to be decided by the highest court in the land anyway. “The motion we filed yesterday seeks to create a cease fire in the battles over samesex marriage in Colorado,” Suthers said. “We created a path forward to efficiently and decisively resolve several ongoing legal proceedings,”

Steadman commended Suthers and Hickenlooper for filing the injunction. But he and other gay lawmakers would rather see the injunction filed without a stay. “I think we will find that the sun will still rise in the east the next day; life will go on unchanged,” Steadman said. “The only thing that will be different is that all families will have equal opportunity to protect themselves and their property and their children, just like everybody else.” Hickenlooper, who supports gay marriage, acknowledged to reporters later that same day that “there’s a great deal of frustration out there” on the part of same-sex couples who are seeking to marry. However, the governor said that the court system has a process that needs to be followed. “I’m not a lawyer, but as I understand the court of law, when the Court of Appeals issues a stay for their own decision to be judged by a higher court, legally you don’t have that right to go around it,” he said. But Steadman said that while the issue remains up in the air, some couples might be running out of time to see their dreams of marriage become a reality. Steadman’s own partner died of cancer prior to Colorado’s legalization of civil unions last year — a law that Steadman was instrumental in creating. “I can speak from personal experience,” Steadman said. “Not everyone can afford to wait.”

Donkey Derby Days brought extra traffic by the thousands Cripple Creek Butte Theater packs the house on opening night of ‘The Spoilers’ By N. W. Oliver
Contributing writer Cripple Creek’s Donkey Derby Days, an 83-year-old tradition for the city, brought visitors from around the state and beyond, to the city’s most anticipated event of the year. The three-day festival revolves around donkey races of several different classes beginning on June 27 and ending on the 29. Included in the fes-
tivities were a parade, a street dance with live entertainment, the Butte Theater’s production of “The Spoilers,” a melodrama, cowboy shootout skits, contests and various activities for the entire family; including gold panning instructions, courtesy of the Cripple Creek and Victor Mining Co., mechanical bull riding, donkey rides, face painting and games. Melissa Trenary, chief coordinator of the celebration, reported an influx of more than 7,000 visitors to the city over the course of the weekend. Along with the help of a healthy turnout of 69 vendors, the Two Mile High Club raised money to maintain the local, free roaming donkey herd around which the celebration originated. Proceeds from donkey race entries
also went to a scholarship fund for local high school students. Trenary also reported receiving “a lot of positive feedback” from visitors throughout the weekend and wished to express gratitude toward the volunteers for their “tireless effort,” the sponsors for their donations, and toward the construction workers on the Bennett Avenue Beautification Project who worked to ensure that the celebration was not detrimentally affected by the deconstructed state of the downtown area. On Friday, June 27 at 7 p.m. the Butte’s opening night of “The Spoilers” enticed its filled-house audience into roars of laughter and hisses of loathing with the cleverly directed, action-packed, melodrama.

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) A personal relationship seems to be demanding more than you feel you’re able to give. Best advice: Confront the issue. you could find the situation surprisingly easy to work through. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Resist being pressured into meeting your self-imposed deadline. This is important if you really feel that taking more time to finish a project could save time in the long run.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) A vacation choice seems less interesting than when you first made it. Could it be a matter of the place or the people going with you? Find out before you consider a change of plans. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Someone might be overriding your leonine logic to get you to agree to “favors” you would normally avoid. Take a new look at what you’ve been asked to do and see if you’ve been misled. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Try to keep that emerging “judgmental” aspect in check this week. Too many critiques on relatively unimportant issues could create a lot of negative bounce-back reactions. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Facing unpleasant facts about an associate isn’t easy. But ignoring them isn’t wise. Ask a trusted (and neutral) friend to help guide you on what to do and how you might do it. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A shift in opinion regarding a workplace situation could go a long way in vindicating the stand you’ve taken. But be aware that a satisfactory resolution could still be a long way off. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) It’s not like you to choose the easy way rather than the right way to do things. So, follow your instincts and feel assured they will lead you to the right decision. Good luck. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Hold off on making a personal commitment until you find out what it really entails and whose interests are actually involved. There could be hidden facts you need to know. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A new friend offers an unexpected opportunity that could lead to a career change. Check it out carefully and consider getting an assessment from someone familiar with this field. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) A surprising discovery leads to mixed reactions from those involved in the “revelation.” But as you come to appreciate the truth, you’ll be able to also come to terms with your feelings. BORN THIS WEEK: your love of travel helps you appreciate the wonders of the world. you would find a satisfying career in any travel-related industry. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

Woodland Park High School won’t play its first official basketball game until early December but that doesn’t mean the team isn’t busy at work laying a solid foundation. “We were at the Air Force (Academy) camp two weeks ago and it was a great opportunity for our kids to develop some cohesiveness,” said Panthers’ first-year coach John Paul Geniesse. “We’re developing some team chemistry. “The kids are dedicated about what we want and what we believe in.” In May, Geniesse became the program’s third coach in four years. He is attempting to build a positive atmosphere. “We want our kids to feel like they want to be in the gym; not like they have to be in the gym,” he said. “We want to have kids who don’t care about the glory. Kids who want to put in the time to make our whole team better.” For a couple of weeks — at least — those dedicated kids will have to find other gyms or outside courts to play on while the high school’s three gym floors are being resurfaced.’ “We’ll be back in the gym July 21,” Geniesse said. “Hopefully we can line up a few games to play in before school starts.” The Air Force camp involved about 35 teams from the Pikes Peak region and other parts of the state. Geniesse said he had about nine players show up on a regular basis. The group included junior point guard Dominik Cunico, senior forward/center Sam Hopfe and senior guard Justin Logsdon. “Sam has continued to develop this summer,” Geniesse said. “You can see that he really has stepped up his game. “We’re going to need his senior leadership - and that of a few other guys - if we’re going to be successful next season.” Geniesse said conditioning and defense will be two keys to the Panthers’ success. But he cautioned that a wins will come with a total team effort. “If winning were that easy everybody would do it,” Geniesse said with a smile. “We need to put the time in. Not just talk about it.” Woodland Park has not had a winning record in many years. The last time the boys won a postseason game was 2007 when they beat Rock Canyon, 73-71, in the first-round of the state tournament. Since the start of the 2007-2008 season, Woodland Park boys’ basketball teams have a combined record of 25-133. The Panthers have their first official winter practice in mid November. They play in a three-team scrimmage Nov. 29 at Kent Denver before opening the regular season. “The biggest thing for us between now and then is putting the time in the gym, and working on getting better,” Geniesse said.
