“I resign as the Mayor of Woodland Park effective today. July 14, 2014 David J. Turley “Public statement to accompany my resignation – July 14, 2014 “Upon being elected Mayor of Woodland Park I took an oath to faithfully to faithfully serve this community. Since then I have devoted myself fully to the mission of serving this great city and its people. However, over the past several weeks, after false allegations were made, it has become impossible for me to fulfill my obligations to this community in the manner this city and its people deserve. Therefore, so that the city may pursue its business free of these distractions, I respectfully tender my resignation as Mayor of Woodland Park effective July 14, 2014. “While I would be my preference to continue my service as Mayor of Woodland Park, the reality is that the given the allegations against me and the legal constraints placed upon me I cannot continue to provide the attention to the City of Woodland Park that it so richly deserves. “I want to state very clearly that I am innocent of the allegations that have been made against me and I look forward to having my name cleared of such in a court of law.

In a place with magnificent mountain scenery, artistic vibrancy and architectural distinction, the charm of Victor is enhanced by its people. “We don’t do things like other people do,” said Becky Parham, manager of Main Street, a grant-funded program designed to revitalize downtown areas. Parham combines a sense of pride and desire to share the secrets of a place with less than 500 residents who live at an altitude of nearly 10,000 feet above sea level. “There are so many hidden gems around here,” she said. There’s Timmy the Hobo stirring up a pot of green chili on the stove at the Fortune Club. The stove happens to be right there in the eating area. Later in the day, the owner, Sue Kochevar, will be baking pies, with the finished product a show-stopper for the customers. Parham is especially proud of the new laundromat on Fourth Street. “It’s so neat and tidy and it smells good,” Parham said. “I just love coming here because it’s so clean.” Deb Downs, the city administrator, agrees. “The new laundromat has been a great boon to this community. People come in, not just from Victor but from Cripple Creek, too,” she said. “Things are starting to happen.” Proud of their quirks and a fine appreciation for the turn-of-the-century (19th) buildings, albeit some in disrepair, the city applied for Main Street designation and succeeded. As a result, Victor is eligible for technical assistance along with grants to spruce up the place. “They loved what Victor was doing, grassroots, volunteers, community members and no staff,” Downs said. “Leaders in the community stepped up and said ‘let’s do something.’” Just in case somebody missed the memo on refurbishing, the Façade Squad knocked on doors, in addition to calling absentee owners. “They’re a bunch of retired guys led by Mike Wallace who, with a grant from the mine (Cripple Creek & Victor Mining Co.) were able to leverage that money with Sherwin Williams (paint store) to get a huge discount on materials,” Downs said. “And the fellas began working with a graphic artist who donated his time to come up with historic color schemes.” From paint to restoring historic windows,

The sculpture garden at Fourth and Diamond streets in Victor was an Eagle Scout project accomplished by Spencer Hoover. the squad became experts in preservation. “They just wanted to do something for their community,” Downs said. And with the Main Street Program, administered by the Colorado Department of Local Affairs, the city has access to architectural assistance. “They’ll actually come in and suggest professional assistance to the businesses by

people we just couldn’t afford to hire,” Downs said. With the infusion of money and energy, Victor is capitalizing on the out-of-the-box ideas, some dreamed up by Parham. “Becky is expanding the season by planning more events such as Steampunk and Sinkhole de Mayo,” Downs said, the latter a celebration spawned by a large sinkhole that, in other places, could have been a negative. Parham relishes the independent spirit that characterizes Victor, particularly when it comes to the amphitheater project that will include the historic rock wall. “We’re being very careful so that what we end up with doesn’t look plastic, we don’t want anything to look too municipal,” she said. Walking along the avenue, Parham points to several of 12 benches around a four-block area. “We figure a walkable city has places to sit down,” she said. “It’s kind of rough terrain.” Despite the empty buildings scattered around, Parham and her Main Street committee have taken great pains to jazz up empty Victor continues on Page 3

Maketa will not be recalled Sheriff expected to complete his term into next January By Danny Summers

dsummers@coloradocommunitymedia.com It appears that embattled El Paso County Sheriff Terry Maketa will serve the final six months of his term. That was the word on July 12 after a recall group, led by Randy Stagner, did no collect the necessary amount of signatures it felt it needed to pass the signature verification process “We didn’t have the buffer we wanted,” Stagner said during a brief press conference in front of the El Paso County Courthouse on July 12. Stagner and his crew scrambled up to the July 12 deadline to collect at least the 44,387 valid signatures needed to put Maketa’s name on Nov. 4 ballot. That total number of signatures is based on 25 percent of the people who voted in the sheriff’s race in the 2010 election. Stagner told a group of reporters and citizens that this group collected 48,000 signatures by noon on July 12. He added that the group felt it needed at least 58,000 signatures by the 1 p.m. deadline. Had Stagner’s group collected the necessary signatures, they would have delivered them to the El Paso County Citizen’s Service Center, 1675 W. Garden of the Gods Road. “The Colorado Constitution bans any further attempts to recall Sheriff Maketa as he will be within

six months of the end of his term after ( July 12),” said Ryan Parsell, a spokesman with the County Office of the Clerk and Recorder. Maketa’s final day in office is Jan. 13, 2015. Parsell added that that even if Stagner’s group delivered the signatures, the process to validate them could take up to 15 business days. That would likely have been followed by a Maketa protest. “This whole thing could have dragged on for another couple of months,” Parsell said. The November election is all mail-in. Maketa was extremely popular among the majority of the county population until recent controversies surfaced. In May, he was accused of misconduct, abuse of power, affairs with subordinates and creating a hostile work environment. El Paso County spokesman Dave Rose said that nine claims seeking $3.9 million in damages against Maketa have been filed. On May 19, the El Paso County commissioners voted unanimously (5-0) to ask Maketa to step down. “We can’t make him resign,” said County Commissioner Darryl Glenn, who oversees the Tri-Lakes are. “Only voters have the power to do that. “We may want the sheriff to step down, but he was elected by the people. Not us.” Glenn added that any effort to have Maketa recalled would not have affected the sheriff’s pension. Maketa’s supporters criticized the recall effort, citing that it was waste of taxpayer money. “It would have cost us about $20,000 to pay for temporary employees to verify the signatures,” Parsell said.

Volunteers needed: Waldo Canyon Fire restoration For the Courier On Saturday, July 26, the statewide nonprofit Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado, in partnership with the Coalition for the Upper South Platte, is seeking volunteers to help with critical fire restoration efforts at the Waldo Canyon burn scar area. The 2012 18,500-acre Waldo Canyon Fire went down in history as the single most expensive wildfire in Colorado state history only to be eclipsed by the Black Forest fire

in 2013. Of those 18,500 acres, 20 percent were burned so intensely that they were likened to moonscape by the Burned Area Emergency Response team. The severity of the damage will both dramatically slow the recovery of the ecosystem and present near-constant flood risks-risks which experts say may threaten the area for the next decade. Volunteers on this project will help mitigate flooding and repair fire damage. These burn areas are now subject to erosion

Commmissioners deny request Residents request word changes By Pat Hill

phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com Teller County commissioners Marc Dettenrieder, Dave Paul and Norm Steen voted to deny a request to remove words from the land-use regulations. Stephen Storrs, Thomas and Denise Worley and Denali Davidson requested an amendment to the regulations to remove the words “Town or Rural Resort” from the Divide Region Growth and Conservation Map as well as the Divide Town Growth

and Conservation map. As well, the four requested a moratorium on the use of the term “Rural Resort.” The county’s planning department, and senior planner Lor Pellegrino, recommended that the commissioners deny the request. In a battle of wits, the applicants failed to overcome the language set forth in the Divide growth plans as well as the county’s land-use regulations. The four were vocal opponents of the commissioners’ approval of Golden Bell’s request for a “rural resort” designation earlier in the year. The approval grants the church camp permission to expand the operation. As a result, the four applicants

are concerned about what may happen to their own properties, which are all within the range of the camp. While the four continued to question the use of “rural resort,” the commissioners stuck to the map first developed in 1998 by the Divide Planning Committee and, after years of public hearings, adopted into the county’s land-use regulations. While the four had no intention of giving up their request, commission chair Dave Paul offered an explanation of why the request would subsequently be denied. “If you are in those zones, you have another layer of public process before you apply for a conditional use permit,” Paul said, referring to possibilities and attempting to

allay the fears of the four about potential applications for conditional-use permits. An application to achieve “rural resort” status is necessarily restrictive, Paul said, because it adds another lay of public process in those designated areas for changes to be made. “This is not a benefit to a property owner who applies for a CUP but rather a restriction,” Paul said. “It adds to their line of items they need to complete in order to do what it is they propose for the property. Whether or not it will be approved, they have an additional layer to go through.” Paul’s explanations were significant as he voted to deny Golden Bell’s in July 2013 for Rural Resort designation.

Manitou moose transported to better habitat For the Courier The moose that had been spotted in several backyards in Manitou Springs over the past week has some new neighbors to meet. Colorado Parks and Wildlife transported the moose to better habitat Friday morning, in the Signal Butte area, north of Divide in the Pike National Forest. “We were hoping she would move out of

the area on her own but it became apparent she was getting a little too comfortable in Manitou Springs,” said Frank McGee, Area Wildlife Manager. “We decided in this situation it was best to move her out of the area, for her safety and for the safety of nearby residents.” Moose are not typically aggressive, but can be, especially in situations where dogs are involved.

“A moose’s only natural predator in the wild is a wolf, and a dog looks a lot like a wolf to a moose,” McGee said. Colorado’s moose population is thriving and more human/moose interactions are likely. Anyone who comes across a moose should give the animal plenty of space and observe from a distance. The Signal Butte area provides excellent habitat for moose and Colorado Parks and

At Fourth and Diamond streets, the sculpture park transformed a weeded lot into a visual treat. An Eagle Scout project led by Spencer Hoover, the park is the result

of collaboration among the scouts, the mine, the artists and the property owner. Another treasure is the Ag and Mining Museum, a collection of tractors and an old-fashioned lathe, each the result of donations byMilford Ashworth. In a city that begs to be different, a place graced with people who exhibit a sense of mountain independence, the project is a rallying cry for an economic resurgence by the Main Street committee. “We call ourselves ‘the bootstrappers,’” Parham said.

By N. W. Oliver

Contributing writer At the regular Cripple Creek City Council meeting on July 2, three residents approached the council during the “public comment” section to address letters they had all received about sheds and storage units on their property. According to the Cripple Creek Municipal Code, certain outbuildings and storage units are only permitted in zones designated as “industrial.” The residents however, argued either that their particular out building was not detrimentally visible from main Cripple Creek thoroughfares, had been there for many years, or was nearly impossible to move. One resident, who’s property had come under council scrutiny at least once before in the past, said that he “felt discriminated against” and that he was tired of being harassed over “pet-peeve things.” Another resident, Mary Benson, claimed that she had received permission from the clerk’s office before purchasing and having her storage unit installed. “It cost me over $2000 to have it delivered … the truck barely made it and it took hours of work to get it into position.” The cost of having it removed would be “more than I can afford right now,” said Benson. In order for the outbuildings to stay, the Cripple Creek City Council would have to pass a variance for each of the protesting residents. The council agreed to put all of the residents’ variance requests on the agenda for the July 16 meeting.

Jim Druck of Big Jim’s Gambling Hall and Saloon also requested a variance to municipal code at the July 2 meeting, a variance that is essential to reopening the now shut down casino. Big Jim’s has been closed since a stream of financial troubles forced Druck to shut the doors in late June. Before closing, Big Jim’s employed 37 employees and ran more than 100 gaming devices, devices with which the variance is concerned. According to city code, each casino is expected to pay $300 per machine per month, a balance which is to be paid in lump or in payments each quarter based on the count of the machines each casino declares at the beginning of the quarter. As Big Jim’s closed before July but is still liable for device fees for the rest of the quarter, the July and August bills pose a serious obstacle to the casino’s reopening. If Druck can get the variance, removing the debt owed for July and August, he plans to reopen with only coin operated machines in the style of “old Vegas.” He implored the council to make haste with the decision, “We have to get people back to work,” said Druck. In response, the council agreed to add the variance request as an emergency ordinance for the next meeting on July 16. In the mean time, Bronco Billy’s Casino, next door, has agreed to adopt Big Jim’s player club members by offering special promotions upon presentation of a Big Jim’s player card.

Iguanas expand scope of Americana on new album Juarez Woodland Park appearance July 26 at Aspen Valley Ranch By Staff report The Iguanas, taking their cues from all of the above influences and then some, Juarez, the band’s first studio album since 2012’s Sin to Sin, redefines the notion of Americana, crossing cultures, styles, eras … and even languages. Based out of New Orleans since their inception in 1989, the members of the Iguanas have played or recorded with everyone from Charlie Rich, Alex Chilton, and Willie DeVille to Emmylou Harris, Allen Toussaint, and Pretty Lights. After a quarter-century together that’s seen them through eight studio albums, countless tours and JazzFest appearances, and a flood that did its best to take their adopted city with it, the band continues to create better and more adventurous music than ever and is solidly at their musical peak. Now, with their most diverse collection of songs just released, The Iguanas are embarking on their most extensive tour in four years, a 32-day journey that will see them play 21 shows across the United States and Canada.

Area product Brandon McCarthy has had a fine major league career Brandon McCarthy made his first start in New York Yankees uniform July 9 at Cleveland. The 6-foot-8 right-hander allowed one earned run over 6 2/3 innings. The Yankees won 5-4 in 14 innings. I am writing about McCarthy this week because he once faced the Woodland Parks and Lewis-Palmers of the Pikes Peak region when he was pitched for Cheyenne Mountain High School. McCarthy’s rise from an average high school pitcher to quality major league starter is one of inspiration and oddity. McCarthy, 31, graduated from Cheyenne Mountain in 2001. He was nothing special in high school. He went to Lamar Community College as a 6-5, 150-pounder he was hoping to earn a spot on the team. He topped out at just 83 mph on his fastball in high school, but one year later he was throwing 90, gained 25 pounds and was the 17th draft selection of the Chicago White Sox in the 2002 amateur draft. During his one year at Lamar he took his team to a third-place finish in the Junior College World Series. McCarthy spent the first decade of his life in southern California. He was an Orel Hershiser fan. When Pat McCarthy, his father, took Brandon to Chavez Ravine to watch the Dodgers’ star, his son would proceed to recite a litany of Hershiser stats. Pat McCarthy told me back in 2002 - when I wrote my first story on Brandon - that he decided to move his family to Colorado

Springs in 1994 after thieves broke into his family’s Pasadena home for the third time. Pat decided he’d rather relocate his family to Colorado Springs for safety reasons, among other things. Brandon’s favorite pitch has always been a flat four-seam fastball that stayed up in the strike zone. What he lacked in deception, he more than made up for with moxie. He knew how to throw strikes. Along the way, Brandon added a nasty 12to-6 curveball and decent changeup. Brandon catapulted through the White Sox’s minor league system; Great Falls, Kannapolis, Winston-Salem and then Double-A Birmingham. He just kept throwing strike after strike. He made his major league debut May 22, 2005, in the finale of an electric interleague series against the cross town Cubs. The Cubs’ starter that day at Wrigley Field was Mark Prior. Brandon excelled, pitching 5 1/3 innings, striking out six, walking just one and

leaving with his team ahead 2-1. His second career start, against the Rangers, didn’t go nearly as well. The rookie gave up four homers in only five innings, including two to Alfonso Soriano. The White Sox went on to win the World Series in 2005 as McCarthy posted a 3-2 record in 12 games (10 starts). At the age of 22 he had his first World Series ring. McCarthy’s nine-year big-league career has seen him pitch for the White Sox, Texas, Oakland, Arizona and now the Yankees. He has a lifetime record of 45-60. “Brandon is excited, of course,” Pat told me the night his son got traded to the Yankees on July 6. “He’s already had a pretty full career. Ups and downs, but twice as long as the average pitcher. “Now he’s on a big stage and in a playoff race. It’s always a plus over no chance at the playoffs. Success, challenges, trades, high, lows and injuries. Some of it’s magic, some of it’s tragic, but it’s been a great ride all in all.” In my 14 years covering high school baseball in Colorado, McCarthy is still the only local product to pitch in the major leagues. It is rare if a prep player from these parts even goes on to play in college, much less ever throw one pitch in the major leagues. Way to go, Brandon. By the way, McCarthy’s contract for the 2014 season is $10.250 million. Not bad for a guy who was not drafted out of high school.

With Gold Rush Days coming, mining’s on my mind With Victor’s Gold Rush Days coming up this weekend, and having just visited with Jeff Tapparo at the annual open house of the Western Museum of Mining and History, (Tapparo is on the museum’s board and gets to operate the Osgood steam shovel,) I have mining on my mind. He called my attention to the following story in the Cripple Creek Morning Times death notices of 1898. The Times is actually an ancestor to the Courier. I felt was appropriate to remember how dangerous the industry once was. Sept, 20, 1898: Victor: “The remains of E.O. Alexander will be buried today from the residence of his daughter in Strong’s camp. Sickening Catastrophe in a Mine. – Patrick Fitzpatrick and Mathew Branigan were killed yesterday and W.D. Crawford terribly injured by one of the most shocking accidents since the day of the Anna Lee disaster. “They met their death under a falling car in the shaft of the Union company’s Orpha May mine on Bull Hill. All three of the men were employees of the Union company, and were employed in sinking the shaft, working at a depth of 900 feet below the surface.

“Several of the upper levels are operated by lessees, whose rock is hoisted by the company for a consideration. H.P. Funk, a trammer, working on the lease at the fourth or 200-foot level, yesterday morning pushed a car of rock up to the shaft, to await the cage which would hoist it to the surface. The shaft is guarded by a chain, which is always fastened across except when a car is being rolled onto the cage. “The car, weighing, with its load of rock, 1,700 pounds, rolled against the guard with such force that the chain was broken, and the car, load of rock and all, toppled down the shaft on the heads of the men 700 feet below. The unlucky trammer, knowing that men were at work in the shaft, driven mad by grief and fright at what he had done,

climbed up the ladder and took to his heels. “Below, the men at work in the shaft never knew what happened. Fitzpatrick and Branigan were working and the awful force of that load falling 700 feet struck them squarely. When their mates went below to hoist their bodies, they were so crushed beneath timbers, rock and the wreck of the car, that they could hardly be identified at all. “The car had gained such momentum that it took out the bulkhead at the twelfth level, and two sets of timbers lower down, as if they had been made of straw. The whole mass of wood, iron and stone struck the men as swiftly as the lightning’s bolt. Branigan was found under the car, with his head split wide open, and nearly half of it shorn away. “His body was reduced to a pulpy mass of flesh, bone and cartilage absolutely indescribable. Fitzpatrick was pinned down under rock and timbers, his head mashed flat, and his body a veritable jelly of flesh and crushed bone. Crawford’s escape from instant death is little short of miraculous.

One is the loneliest number The pop song “One,” written by Harry Nilsson and made famous by Three Dog Night in 1969, starts with the opening notes of a telephone busy signal and the memorable line … “One is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do.” Certainly more poignant but nowhere near as well-known are the words of Mother Teresa who called loneliness “the most terrible poverty.” Researchers at the University of Chicago are finding that loneliness can be far more that simply sad. In a study reported by Science Daily, Professor John Cacioppo and his colleagues claim that a prolonged sense of being lonely can increase one’s chance of a premature death by 14 percent. Another study contended that loneliness can have twice the impact of obesity on early mortality. The Chicago scientists examined the dramatic differences in the rate of decline in both physical and mental health as people age. They specifically looked at the positive role of satisfying relationships on the ability of seniors to develop a resilience

to life’s challenges, the ability to bounce back from adversity and grow from the stresses of life. A chronic sense of feeling isolated, which is not to be confused with living alone, can disrupt sleep, elevate blood pressure, increase levels of the stress hormone cortisol, suppress one’s immune system and increase depression and lower one’s overall sense of well-being. The result for many, say the researchers, is an increased risk of premature death. “We are experiencing a silver tsunami demographically. The baby boomers are

reaching retirement age and people need to think about how to protect themselves from, depression, low subjective well-being and early mortality,” says Cacioppo. No doubt, some people are perfectly happy to be alone but most thrive from quality social relationships in which they find support and enjoy good rapport. The research study identified three core dimensions to healthy relationships. The first is intimate connectedness, which has its basis in having people in your life who you feel affirms who you are. Relational connectedness comes from having face-to-face contacts that are mutually rewarding and collective connectedness is derived from feeling that you’re part of a group. For those feeling isolated and lonely, the July issue of the Mayo Clinic Health Letter offers the following tips on getting back into the flow of things. Attend community events looking for a group with similar interests in an activity, such as reading, gardening, and sports or crafting.

Volunteer. Offer your time and talents at a hospital, place of worship, museum, charitable organization or visitors or community center. Seek out a fresh new interest. Take a class at a community college or a course at the local senior center. Think beyond two-legged friends. Whether it has four legs or wings, a pet can offer many of the same companion benefits as human friendships. And finally, it’s important not to confuse loneliness with being alone. It’s not physical isolation that is the problem but rather the subjective sense of isolation that is so profoundly disruptive to one’s life and health.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor: As your newspaper has mentioned several times, election season is in full swing. I’m sure everyone is aware of the fact that voters will be casting their ballots for the next Teller County Sheriff. I have spent some time learning about the candidates; specifically their qualifications, and their visions for where they plan to take the Teller County Sheriff’s Office over the next four years. There has been “much talk,” about public mistrust, abusive and otherwise unprofessional conduct (at all levels of the department) and the pending lawsuits, which taxpayers will end up paying for.

was working in a corner of the shaft, doing single-hand work. He declares that he never heard a sound, or had warning of any kind of what was about to happen, and knew nothing of when it id strike. “The first thing he knew was the open air and the sunlight after he had been lifted to the surface and restored to consciousness.

What may have been overlooked here is … there is one more “tab” that the taxpayers may be picking up, and the cost of this bill may not be as easy to quantify. What is it … the cost of replacing deputies whom appear to be abandoning ship at a quicker rate than people were looking for life rafts on the Titanic. It costs money to recruit and train new staff, regardless of the position they fill. By some estimates and depending on the length and quality of the training, a department needs to retain law enforcement personnel for a “minimum” of three years just to break even (a U.S. Dept. of Justice statistic) on their investment.

Just for a moment, let’s suppose “this was all free … no cost at all.” Be it a privately run business, or a government organization, your retention rate should serve as your report card, a barometer or in the what the private sector refers to as the “corporate climate.” Staff that are properly trained, properly treated, and respected, stay. Staff that are compensated financially and that are provided with a path for growth and advancement “stay.” Being employed in an environment that does not provide for the “basic needs” of its people causes its people to leave “and leave in droves,” just as in the case of the TCSO. Let’s get back to reality though, the

Though not killed, he is still in a pitiable condition. His skull is fractured, and his head looks as if it had been slashed in a dozen places with a razor. His left hand is shattered, and his right foot crushed as flat as if it had been put through a cane roller. The knee joint of the same leg has been split open, and it is a question whether the leg will not have to be amputated above the knee. “The ambulance was called, and Crawford, accompanied by Dr. Johnson, who had dressed the wounds as well as he could temporarily, was brought to the hospital.

There Drs. Johnson, Chambers and Hassenplug amputated the leg about six inches above the ankle. The surgeons think the man has a fair chance for recovery, but state that the cut into his knee joint is the most serious of his many injuries. “Both the dead men were single, and about 30 years of age.

high attrition rate within the Teller County Sheriff’s Office costs, and the costs are considerable, not only in terms of dollars, but in terms of the protection the department is capable of providing to the community at large. The word is out that yet another Teller County deputy has resigned. The revolving door, known as the Teller County Sheriffs Office needs to stop; or at very least slow down. This can only occur however, unless under the helm of good, strong and tested leadership. It’s not my intention for this

at Central City, who has been telegraphed for, and Fitzpatrick has a brother at Goldfield, in this district. Both were members of the Miners’ union. The remains were removed to the rooms of Mulligan and Dunn at Victor, where they now lie. Arrangements have not been made for their interment.”

Radio Stations got an early start in Colorado As you turn on that radio you may not think about how long radios have been listened to by the public. In the early 1920s radio stations were rare, and many had private receivers where they could listen to distant stations. Often this was in an attic away from noise, and up high to get a better signal. It was seen by many as a passing fad. In December 1924 Colorado Springs got its first station. It broadcast from a tower in downtown Colorado Springs, where Penrose Public Library now stands. Denver had four stations; the newest was KOA. The others were KFEL, KFLE and KFUP. KOA started in December 1924 just before Christmas. The Rocky Mountain Broadcast Co. was part of General Electric’s radio stations. It was their third station. The first was in Schenectady, New York, WGY. The other one was in Oakland California, KGO. These early stations mainly used local talent for their broadcasts. Many had grand studios, but most used some local facility. KFUM, the Colorado Springs station used Perkins Hall on the Colorado College campus, as well as the Colorado School for the Deaf and Blind. KOA in Denver used various churches as well as their own studio. The stations were usually on the air only three or four hours a day, generally in the evening. Officials from state government were often fea-

tured. The newspapers carried lists of known radio stations. The signals from KOA were reported to be received as far away as Mexico City and Alaska. Most of the stations were east of the Mississippi. Chicago had several stations which could be picked up along the Front Range. Columbus, Ohio, Dallas, Texas, Davenport, Iowa and Kansas City, Missouri were the stations normally listened to in Colorado. As more and more listeners tuned in, they contacted the stations to let them know where they heard the signal. When KOA started the received hundreds such notes. People like GE started making better and smaller radios. Up until television, the radio was nearly as large as some refrigerators! Television was as not far behind the radio as some think. By the 1940s the first stations broadcasting television signals were send out to hundreds of early sets. Twenty five years after the first radio stations, Denver had television stations. Again GE was cranking out television sets in the 1940s.

Looking for a few good people By Pat Hill

phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com For people skilled in woodworking, clothing design, cameras/photography, leather craft, entomology, forestry, model rocketry or computers, Columbine Elementary School and the 4-H program have issued a call for help. “We’re looking for a few good people who have a passion in these areas who would like to teach for six or eight weeks,” said Mark Platten, executive director of Colorado State Extension which sponsors 4-H in Teller County. “We’re not asking for a lifetime. But if they want to come back and do multiples, more power to `em!” The trade classes are an addition to the master’s programs launched by Walken several years ago. “The partnership supports Veronica’s vision,” Platten said. “This is so unique. Instead of doing one thing we’re doing the entire year of master classes.” However, the program’s success rests with volunteers who have expertise in the range of subjects. “The classes give the teachers a break while giving kids some choices they might not otherwise have,” Platten said. “Veronica has created a block of time by bringing the community in.” Platten views the classes, which debut in the fall, as a way to shine a light on the RE-2 School District. “Now the community has a vested interest in those kids and the education system,” he said. “It’s much easier to support the school because we’re part of it. That’s huge for the school district and creating relationships as well.” For Platten, there’s an auxiliary goal. “It’s a natural feed-in for the more robust

different skills, so they’ve got options of choosing an area of interest that can lead to future career paths.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Continued from Page 7

letter to serve as a political endorsement of any candidate. It is simply as statement and assessment of the current situation, “the climate” within an organization. Here’s what things look like outside of Teller County. The U.S. Department of Justice, in conjunction with the Office of Community Oriented Policing have published the following statistics: 1) First year employees within either rural or financially challenged agencies “typically” experience attrition rates at or above 28.6 percent) The first year attrition rates among most metropolitan agencies providing employees with high levels of training, certification, and appropriate financial compensation experience a 12.7 percent to 15.5 percent first year attrition rate. 3) Nationwide, most agencies can expect to experience a 3 percent to 5 percent attrition rate among their more “seasoned” employees. In Teller County, depending on who you ask, attrition rates for employees with less than two years on the job is between 70percent (TCSO statistics) the County sees it as a bit higher, and my sources tell me the real numbers exceed105%. Where are these deputies going, and more importantly, why? The same way you were being somewhat satirical in your article “Cancel the Elections,” all I’m saying is “that if the voters go out and vote,” that they vote “informed.” Law enforcement personnel take an oath, they are “sworn to protect and serve.” The problem with the TCSO is there are not enough people to protect

and serve anyone, and the question you must ask yourselves is “who is best suited to correct what appears to becoming “a mass casualty of an agency.” See you at the polls in November. The choice is clear! W. Lubliner, U.S. Navy Retired Dear Editor: Thank you for writing such a nice article about the concert given by the Colorado Springs concert band in Green Mountain Falls. We all appreciated it — especially the band members! Thank you for all you do! Sincerely, Martha Henry Chipita Park Dear Editor: I have appreciated your coverage of the difficulties Mayor Turley finds himself in. However, I have been disturbed that the photos you have run in two editions of the paper were both mug shots. I have never met Mayor Turley, so this letter is not from a friend advocating for him. My appeal is for you to extend to him the grace anyone would wish for one who had not even been charged, let alone convicted, of a crime. Have you considered what lasting damage the published mug shots might bring if he were found innocent? I encourage us to pray for the mayor and for all of our city’s leadership as they labor in our behalf. Sincerely, Dave Keesling Woodland Park

The official groundbreaking for a joint Woodland Park RE-2 School District/city of Woodland Park community field at Gateway Elementary school took place on July 10.

Gateway ES field will go from brown to green

GOCO awards $350,000 grant to WP/RE-2 for new multi-use field By Norma Engelberg Contributing writer

Great Outdoors Colorado is probably best known for its lottery-funded grants that help municipalities, counties and nonprofit organizations upgrade or add parks, athletic fields, trails and playgrounds. Typically, though, these grants don’t go to public schools unless they partner with another organization. In order to get a $350,000 grant to replace the rocks and dirt open space behind Gateway Elementary School with a multi-use, artificial-turf athletic field, the Woodland Park RE-2 School District partnered with Woodland Park. The city received the grant notification and groundbreaking took place on July 10. “This is so great for our kids and our community,” District Superintendent Jed Bowman said. Woodland Park Parks and Recreation Director Cindy Keating pointed out that the city has lost the use of Kavanagh Park with the Our Lady of the Woods expansion. This new field will help offset that loss. Gateway Principal Kay Lynn Waddell said the combination of 200,000 pounds of red tire-based safety mulch and the bright green turf will make the school grounds “really POP.” GOCO Local Government Program Coordinator Jake Houston said his organiza-

A new multi-use, artificial turf athletic field will be going in behind Gateway Elementary School. Immediately before the field’s official groundbreaking on July 10, Woodland Park RE-2 School District officials, Woodland Park community members and local children work together with shovels.

In tandem with the Great Outdoors Colorado grant that will be used to install a new community/school multi-use athletic field behind Gateway Elementary School, a grant from the Colorado Department of Health and Environment funded the purchase of 200,000 pounds of red recycled tire safety mulch destined for school playgrounds. tion had just slightly less than $2.7 million to award this year and had about $11 million in requests from 63 applicants. “We awarded 18 or 19 grants this year,” he said. “We were looking for projects with great community buy-in and those with the high need or demand. This project has both.” “Ten percent of the city and district 30 percent match had to be in cash but the

rest can be in-kind donations,” Houston said. “The district’s (parent-teacher organization) raised the cash and a lot of contractors gave discounts that also count. Christine Fischer also worked with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment for a grant the paid for the red tire mulch. That grant was also used for the match.” Fischer owns Fischer Project Manage-

ment and Consulting Services and is a school district parent. She spearheaded the grant effort that will change an open field composed of gravel and rock into an artificial athletic field that will never need watering and can be used by the district when school is in session and by the community when it isn’t. “The community will be able to use the field evenings and weekends during the school year and every day and evening during the summer and school holidays,” she said. “Students will be able to use the field for recess, activities, PE and as practice fields for a variety of sports, including T-Ball for our youngest kids.” “We’re hoping to have the field completed before school starts but if all doesn’t go well it should still be ready by no later than mid-September,” Bowman said.

Ranger District bans target practice because of abuses, close calls By Rob Carrigan

rcarrigan @coloradocommunitymedia.com A 12-mile section of the forest, in and around Mount Herman Road between Woodland Park and Monument, was declared off-limits to recreational shooting by new Forest Service rules last week. “The areas closed to target shooting are areas of concentrated activity with many nearby roads and trails, recreation sites, private land developments and livestockgrazing nearby. Resticting shooting in these areas reduces hazards to others who play, live, or work within these areas,” says material and a map put together by officials of the Pike and San Isabel National Forest. Jon Pfeiffer, reserve law enforcement officer and offhighway vehicle manager for the Pikes Peak Ranger District, said that enforcement of the new rules has been going well so far. Pfeiffer, and others, placed nearly 30 signs in the offlimits area last week after the new rules went into effect. He was patroling on Mount Herman road Friday, and noted that first sign crews put up Tuesday, did have ‘fake’ bullet hole stickers on it already. Barb Timock, public affair officer in the district’s Pueblo office, also said the public has been supportive of the new rules. She said near misses, whizzing bullets, and other dangers over time prompted the official action early last week, but the district had considered it carefully and was ready with signs, maps, educational material and an enforcement plan. “The Pike National Forest has many places enjoy your favorite recreational activities including target shooting if

done in a safe and responsible manner,” according to Forest Service material. Estimates from the district hold that 94 percent of the forest is still available for recreational target shooting. Exempt from these closure areas are: • Any person possessing a current and valid State of Colorado hunting license and who is actively involved in hunting during open season. • Any person discharging a gas operated paintball or airsoft gun. The original order with and effective date of July 7, 2014, says the Pikes Peak Ranger District has issued an Order closing a 9,567 acre area in El Paso County to recreational shooting. “The Order is necessary to provide for public safety and to protect natural resources and facilities. It prohibits discharging a firearm, air rifle or gas gun in the designated area,” according to a release by forest officials. Erin Connelly, Forest and Grassland Supervisor of the Pike & San Isabel National Forests, Cimarron & Comanche National Grasslands said, “My focus is on ensuring public and resource protection while more than 94 percent of the PSICC remains open to this sport. This closure will improve the overall safety for visitors to the PSICC.” The Order affects the area surrounding Mount Herman Road (Forest Service Road 320) from Monument, Colorado west to the Teller County line. “This area does not provide for safe or reasonable recreational shooting due to the steep terrain and concentrated public use. The area surrounding Mount Herman Road is particularly rugged and contains a variety of recreational opportunities. Due to the proximity of this area to Denver and Colorado Springs, the volume of recreational shooting has increased substantially in recent years.” More details may be found at: prdp2fs.ess.usda.gov

Linda Davison was the name she was known as when she was a student at WPHS. Now she is known as April Knight and Crying Wind. Knight is on a book signing tour with her 50th book, “NOBODY DIES IN KANSAS.” The book is based on the abuse she endured as a child, it is a dark story but one that many people can identify with. The author believes the key to becoming a successful writer is having a dysfunctional family, a horrible childhood and being bullied without mercy in school. Knight says being mistreated both at home and in school made her strong, made her a survivor and made her a writer.

Knight is also in negotiations with a Christian TV network to have her book “CRYING WIND” made into a movie. “CRYING WIND” is an award winning best selling book, in print for over 35 years and selling over three million copies worldwide. Knight divides her time between her homes in Seattle and Hawaii. NOBODY DIES IN KANSAS is available from Amazon, $16.95.

Three Teller County residents honored By Pat Hill

phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com Graduates of the 2014 Leadership Program of the Rockies, Marc Dettenrieder, Pete LaBarre and Violet Watt are among 65 Colorado citizens to complete the ninemonth program. “One-third of GOP state senators and one-half of GOP state representatives in the current legislature have graduated from LPR,” said Dettenrieder, a Teller County commissioner. Some come to the program from a political angle, Dettenrieder said, while others have a business emphasis. “It’s all about becoming a leader in action,” he said. “You have to go out and make it happen, spread principles of liberty and freedom and be committed to it.” LPR students are nominated to the bipartisan program. “LPR is fairly conservative but not `conservative’ like a lot of people think of ‘conservative’,” said Watt, financial assistant with Teller County. “It’s not a religious right-wing program.” Some discussions, however, revolve around religious freedom. “We talk about how religion influences people as opposed to writing laws forcing people to act in a certain way,” she said. The students review the Declaration of Independence and its lead-in to the U.S. Constitution, written after the Articles of Confederation of 1777. “For instance, the leaders looked forward to a time when slavery would be abolished,” Watt said. Other texts include “Atlas Shrugged” by Ayn Rand, the Federalist Papers and “Economics in One Lesson,” by Henry Hazlitt. The monthly classes include topics such as the morality of capitalism and how people do better with that system than under communism and socialism, Watt said. A multi-faceted program that combines study of the Constitution and free-market capitalism, LPR is dedicated to creating a better America, said LaBarre, chairman of the Teller County Republicans and owner of several Denny’s restaurants. The capitalistic system is responsible for expanding individual rights compared to what they had been in the past, LaBarre said. “If you lived in 18-century England or 17-century Germany you were born into what your father did,” he said. “There were

Courtesy photo no opportunities.” America, on the other hand, offered a different view. “Here the fruits of your labor were yours to do with as you wish,” LaBarre said. “People are more productive when they own their means of well-being, a plow, for instance, a loom or a sewing machine.” Bob Schaffer, chairman of LPR, imagines that today’s discussions are similar to those that took place in the days of Samuel Adams in Massachusetts. “They might ask questions such as what does a free person do and what is the best way to enshrine the virtues of human dignity,” said Schaf-

of how people view the role of government, LaBarre said. “There is an appropriate role of government but not where we are today,” he said. Because LPR students are asked to share their views and speak publicly, some may be taken out of their comfort zones. “We are asked to define what we stand for, what are the underlying principles of that?” LaBarre said. Founded as the Republican Leadership of the Rockies in the late 1980s, the program evolved to be non-partisan. “LPR has a defining philosophy,” Williams said. “We have passionate people.”

In a series of seminars titled “2014: The Year of Financial Wellness,” Isbell starts the drum roll of saving and investing. “For people to make intelligent decisions they have to be educated,” she said. “That’s the foundation of everything.” The first presentation, in September, is “How to Raise Financially-Smart Kids.” As one who helps others prepare for the future, Isbell has an inside track on what’s going on. “A lot of people are getting their estate plans in place,” she said. “That’s been the trend this year, more than in years past.” The details of estate planning include wills, trusts, the transfer of assets and designating a power-of-attorney. Unlike in the past, Isbell’s clients this year are initiating the conversation. “That’s where I get excited — in the estate-and financial-planning aspects of the business,” she said. The opposite side of the coin of estateplanning is inheritance and all the issues surrounding a new pot of money. “When you’re receiving money you kind of learn a lot,” Isbell said. “If ‘mom and dad’ did not have an advisor, chances are the estate was a mess when they died.” The financial “mess” gets the inheritors thinking about their own estates, with the goal of avoiding probate. “A lot of people, quite frankly, don’t need a trust; it’s more a matter of talking,” she said. For Isbell, estates, wills and probate are all part of a puzzle with a financial advisor ensuring the pieces fit. “The whole ‘how money works thing’ is fascinating,” she said. “I love it. It may be a matter of add-

Photo by Pat Hill ing one little feature to an account to avoid probate.” As the person with the know-how to invest and retire, Isbell ventures a guess on the current stock market. “A pullback would be healthy; it would not surprise anyone if we had a little correction in the market,” she said. “But I think the United States in general is doing better — the numbers are

all showing we’re in a better place.” However, there’s the issue of interest rates. “We’re coming out of recession, stabilizing; interest rates are not going up anytime soon so that’s a big issue we have to resolve,” she said. “Obviously there are other features and products we have to take care of that.” Isbell’s financial advice is not confined

to customers of Park State Bank & Trust. “To access services here, people don’t have to be members of the bank,” she said. “That’s one of my obstacles that I’ve had a hard time overcoming. This is my own business within Park State Bank.” Isbell’s presentations are from 10 to 11 a.m. Sept. 20 and from 4 to 5 p.m. Sept. 23 at the bank.

A first for Woodland Park, CarFit is a national organization designed to help people get the proper fit in their cars. “Everybody has different problems in cars - getting the proper fit,” said Mike Storey, who heads up the event this month at the Woodland Park High School. Some drivers have trouble finding the right distance between them and the steering wheel for the air bag to deploy if needed, or getting the seat far enough up to use the pedals. “Cars are designed for the average-size person,” Storey said. The right fit is about safety. “When you take a long trip in the car, it’ll be so much more comfortable if the car just fits you,” Storey said. “We show you different ways to set the mirrors up, to minimize blind

spots. The goal is to get you outta there safer than when you came in.” Drivers are invited to take advantage of the one-on-one session with the experts. “You’ll have two people for each car - one person talks about the interior and getting the driver safely set up there,” Storey said. The second expert checks the car’s exterior. “We just try to make it a safer trip for drivers,” Storey said. “It’s a simple process, takes about 20 minutes and you never have to get out of your car.” Sponsored by AARP, Drive Smart and Penrose Hospital, CarFit is from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the north parking lot at the Woodland Park High School. While Storey suggests making a reservation, at 917-7765200, it is not absolutely necessary. “The goal is to keep people driving as long as they possibly can, comfortably and safely,” he said.

ABOVE THE CLOUDS

Symphony above the Clouds attracted a larger audience July 5 than ever before. And, in a time of daily rainstorms, the weather held. With a magnificent and glorious end to the Symphony Above the Clouds, the boom of the cannons and the light show of the fireworks, the evening of July 5 in Woodland Park was something to remember.

The Symphony Above the Clouds July 5 attracted thousands of people from around the region. A thrilling event, the symphony concluded with the boom of the cannons and the pop! of the fireworks, which, besides being a tradition, signaled the abatement of the drought. For 34 years, the Ute Pass Symphony Guild has enhanced the quality of life in Woodland Park with beautiful music played with the background of wondrous nature. Photo by Kathy Fleer

Obama makes visit to Denver ‘No doubt we are making progress,’ president says By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com President Barack Obama told a Denver audience on July 9 that the country’s economy is better off now than when he took office five years ago, and blasted Republicans in Congress who “have blocked or voted down every serious idea to strengthen the middle class.” But Republicans shot back against a “lonely” president whose low approval ratings they believe scared off some local Democratic officeholders from attending Obama’s speech in central Denver’s Cheesman Park. The president’s speech came the night after he raised money for Democratic Sen. Mark Udall, who is in a tight re-election bid against a challenger, U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner. Udall stayed in Washington for a vote on a Cabinet nominee and did not attend the fundraiser or Obama’s speech the next day. Obama touted an economy that has produced 10 million jobs since he took office during the Great Recession in 2009, and pointed to a national unemployment rate that is at its lowest point since that year. “What I want to make sure of is, as screwed-up sometimes as Washington gets, that everybody understands that there’s progress to be made and that there’s someone here who is fighting for them, even though it can feel like the system is rigged against them,” the president said. Obama pointed to an improved housing and construction environment; an automobile industry that is making strides; and greater energy independence as key factors that are driving an economy that was in dire straits prior to him taking office. “So despite what you may here, there is no doubt we are making progress,” Obama said. “By almost every measure, we are better off than when I took office.” The president also defended recent

President Barack Obama talks about the economy to a crowd of supporters at Denver’s Cheesman Park on July 9. Photo by Vic Vela executive actions that have irked Republicans. Obama said he has taken it upon himself to make changes to immigration policy, rising student loan debt, and pay discrepancies between men and women, because the Republican-controlled House of Representatives has blocked his policy initiatives at every turn. Obama then took a shot at Republican House Speaker John Boehner for suing the president, on grounds that Obama has overstepped his authority by sidestepping Congress while taking his own action on certain policy areas. “Now, I gather that some of the Republicans in Congress are mad at me for go-

ing ahead and doing things,” Obama said. “They have a plan to sue me for taking executive actions that are within my authority, while they do nothing. “I have a better idea. They should do something rather than engage in political stunts that are a waste of time and taxpayer money; join me and let’s do some things together.” Instead of joining in, area Republicans pounced on the president’s visit to Colorado. They see Obama as a weak and unpopular president, being avoided by key Democrats running for re-election this fall. Polls show that Obama’s approval ratings are abysmal. And Republicans said it is no wonder that Democrats such as Gov. John Hickenlooper and Udall didn’t attend the president’s speech July 9. State Republican Party Chairman Ryan Call blasted Obama’s record as having failed working families and having caused many Coloradans to lose a previously existing health care plan as a result of the Affordable Care Act — the president’s signature piece of legislation. “President Obama, Sen. Udall and Gov. Hickenlooper have had their chance to make things better, but they have failed,” Call said in an emailed statement. “Coloradans are ready to elect new leaders who will listen to the people of Colorado, and not be a rubber stamp for President Obama’s same, tired policies.” Hickenlooper’s office said the governor was not dodging the president and that he had a prior engagement that had been booked well before Obama’s speech — which was announced on July 7. The gov-

ernor did get together with Obama to drink beer and play pool with him in downtown Denver the night before his speech. Udall, meanwhile, stayed in Washington to cast a vote in support of Obama’s nominee to head the Department of Housing and Urban Development — an appointment that was confirmed by the Senate with overwhelming support. The Udall campaign also shot back at Republican criticism about the senator’s absence from Obama’s events, citing a report that Gardner had attended a Republican event that was sponsored by GOP operative Karl Rove during last year’s budget shutdown. “Mark’s commitment to putting his job as a senator first stands in stark contrast to Congressman Cory Gardner, whose campaign has attacked Mark for NOT skipping today’s vote, and who famously hobnobbed with Karl Rove after voting to shut down the government last fall,” said Chris Harris, a communications director for the Udall campaign. In an effort to put aside the politics of his visit, Obama said in his Denver speech that he will continue to push policies on his own in polarized Washington — policies that he believes will help “ordinary Americans.” “We’re fighting for the idea that everybody gets an opportunity no matter what you look like or where you’re from or who you love or how you grew up or what your last name is,” the president said. “America is a place where you should be able to make it if you try.”

avoiding president By Staff report

Democratic Sen. Mark Udall said he was not avoiding President Barack Obama when he didn’t attend Denver events involving the president last week. Republicans mocked Udall for not attending his own fundraiser that the president headlined on July 8 and for not showing up for an economic speech that Obama gave in central Denver the next day. Instead, Udall stayed in Washington, D.C. “to do his job.” “I appreciate the president’s support,” Udall told reporters on July 11. “I wanted to be here but I had a job to do in Washington.” Udall said he stayed in Washington to cast votes for Obama’s Housing and Urban Development secretary and for key pieces of legislation. Republicans said that Udall — who is running in a tight re-election bid against U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner — was making a politically strategic decision to not be seen with a president with low approval ratings. “I’ll let the pundits talk about all of that,” Udall said. “I was in DC doing my job. Coloradans know that’s the number one focus I had. I appreciate the president’s support and, as you know, we had Vice President (Joe) Biden here last month and I was here to stand with him ... ”

Football season never ends for Panthers Woodland Park playing in a 7-on-7 league this summer By Danny Summers

dsummers@coloradocommunitymedia. com Each Wednesday for most of this summer, Woodland Park High School football coach Joe Roskam has taken a group of players down Ute Pass in vans to participate in 7-on-7 scrimmages with teams like defending Class 4A state champion Pine Creek. “There are always a host of schools there,” said Roskam, who is in his fourth season as coach of the Panthers. “We’re looking for everything we can do to get better. Playing against those teams helps.” The games are played at Pine Creek, St, Mary’s and Harrison. They are offensive oriented. Among the Woodland Park players who regularly partake in the drills are junior quarterback Matt Cox, senior running back Dylan Schaller-Ward and junior receiver Joey Ereon. “Joey is really improving,” Roskam said. “All the guys are getting better.” Ereon was second on the team in catches last season with 13 for 270 yards and a

touchdown. Ward was fourth in rushing with 581 yards and five touchdowns. But the key to offense once again will be Cox. As a sophomore, he completed 38 of 125 passes for 786 yards and seven touchdowns. He also led the team in rushing with 719 yards and seven touchdowns. “But he had 20 turnovers by himself; and that’s way too many,” Roskam said. “He has to improve. He has to get better.” Roskam lost 18 players to graduation from last year’s club that went 5-5 overall, 1-3 in the Class 3A South Central League. The league is up to six teams again this season and includes Discovery Canyon (the No. 1 overall seed in last year’s state playoffs), Lewis-Palmer, Harrison, Mitchell and Canon City, which is dropping down from 4A. “We’re in a tough league; there’s no doubt about it,” Roskam said. “We have our work cut out for us.” Roskam has been the most successful Woodland Park coach - in terms of wins and losses - in a decade. He turned a team that was winless in 2010 to a 5-5 club in 2011 - his first with the program. A rash of injuries in 2012 saw the Panthers fall to 3-7, before rebounding last season. Roskam will take over the offensive coordinator duties again this season with the departure of Rob Royer, who left to take

the head coaching job at Rampart. It just so happens that Woodland Park travels to Rampart for its season opener Friday, Aug. 29. Game time is scheduled for 7 p.m. at District 20 Stadium. “He knows our playbook, but then again we know his,” Roskam said with the smile. “We’re looking forward to playing them. It should be a good game.” Roskam was Woodland Park’s defensive coordinator in 2013. That duty will be han-

dled this season by Kenny Case, who has been with Roskam since his head coaching days at Sierra. The Panthers’ first official day of practice is Aug. 11. They will again have “Midnight Madness,” which starts at 12:01 a.m. on Aug 14 - the first day the team can be in full pads. “That’s always a lot of fun,” Roskam said.

advice of my attorney I will not be making any further public statements on this issue. “I would like to thank the members of the community for their support during my time on city council and as mayor. It is unfortunate that such serious, false allegations, can serve to derail my dedication to this wonderful community. I look forward to the time when both the City of Woodland Park and I are no longer burdened by these issues. I wish nothing but the best for the future of this city and its citizens.”

687-5225. Stage 5 of the race heads west on Highway 24, then north through some of the most picturesque terrain in Colorado. The 2014 USA Pro Challenge does not let up with Stage 5. This stage’s serene first 80 miles hide a vicious finish and a last chance for climbing specialists to really make a move. Many of the riders in this year’s event are current competing in the Tour de France. “I might add that only the Tour de France has more statute in the professional cycling world than the USA Pro Challenge,” said Mike Perini, head of the Woodland Park local organizing committee.
