Local businessman Tom Carrick dies By Pat Hill
phill@colorado communitymedia.com Woodland Park lost one of its most colorful residents when Tom Carrick died July 17 at the age of 64. Known for his quirky sense of humor and, at times, irreverent comments about official and unofficial goings-on, Carrick gave his time tirelessly to make Woodland Park a better place. Founding member and chairman of the Downtown Development Authority, former planning commissioner and shrewd businessman, Carrick was a vital part of the city’s march to progress, which includes development of Woodland Station. “He loved the DDA and everything going on in town,” said his wife, Ellen Carrick. Ellen and Allie (Carrick) Secretan, 26, the couple’s only child, along with Ellen’s sister Elizabeth Fleming, were taking care of details the day after Carrick’s death. “We keep thinking he’s going to walk in and make some kind of sarcastic remark,” Ellen said. “He made me laugh for 41 years.” Carrick had the right balance as a dad, Allie said. “He combined tough love with being a softie,” she said. As the owners of Travel Trek,
the Carricks fed their lust for travel with voracious research. “Allie had been to all seven continents before she was 13,” Ellen said. While the Carricks sold the business, they continued to travel — and had just gotten back from a trip around the Southwest when Carrick got sick two weeks ago. “It was one of our favorite trips,” Ellen said. Carrick died from pancreatic and kidney failure. The Carricks moved to Woodland Park after he retired as a major with the U.S. Army Infantry, Ranger Airborne division. “He was very proud of that,” Ellen said. Woodland Park’s city manager David Buttery, veteran of the U.S. Army, connected with Carrick on many levels. “Tom was a true servant. He served his country as a soldier and his community as a quiet but well-respected and listened-to volunteer,” Buttery said. “I will miss his wisdom, counsel and humor.” Dale Schnitker, chairman of the DDA, highlighted Carrick’s generosity and concern for others. “I just loved the man,” he said. “He was an inspiration, a Woodland Park-er for sure.” Carrick took a keen interest in Schnitker’s daughter Danielle. “When she got promoted to ma-
jor, Tom put together a ‘major’ package for her that we took to her when she graduated,” he said. But it’s mention of Allie that has Schnitker choked up. “He was just over-the-top about Allie and so excited about her successes,” he said. Schnitker, who also has a sense of humor, said Carrick used a lot of big words. “That was a little tough on me,” he said. Jon DeVaux, whose Alpine Firearms is in the Carricks’ former Travel Trek building, pegs Carrick as a steady force who was dedicated to doing the right thing. “He had a logical mind,” he said. “He always opened the DDA meetings with a joke.” A voracious reader, Carrick shared newspaper clipping about guns, whether from the Wall Street Journal or the New York Times, DeVaux said. Like the others, DeVaux remarked on the relationship between Tom and Ellen. “They did everything together,” he said. Glenn and Lois Sill count the Carricks among their closest friends; both couples were part of the Friday Night Club. “We’re going to miss that friendship,” Lois said, adding that she worked for the Carricks at the travel agency for 10 years. “I enjoyed every day of it.”
Tom and Ellen Carrick were named King and Queen at the Mardi Gras celebration in Woodland Park. The Carricks were part of the Cavaliers. The photo was taken in 2002. Courtesy photo While grieving over the loss, Glenn manages a laugh over one of Carrick’s many adventure tales. “He told me that while he was in parachute school all of his jumps were at night,” he said. “I asked him why at night and he said, ‘because my eyes were closed all the way down.’” Brian Fleer, executive director of the Downtown and Economic Development, first met Carrick when he inquired at city hall about opening a travel agency in 1994. At the time, Fleer was the city’s planning director. “Tom was an old-school guy with an intellectual edge. There
are very few of those left anymore,” he said. “His presence cast a huge shadow over the town.” Carrick also understood that the DDA would truly benefit the community, Fleer said. Among the distinguished residents who have been named “Wagon Boss,” by the Greater Woodland Park Chamber of Commerce, Carrick also served as the chamber’s president. There are no public services planned for Carrick, but the family asks that donations be made in his name to The Alzheimer’s Association, 2315 Bott Ave., Colorado Springs, CO 80904.

Summer has not been kind to Green Mountain Falls or the Ute Pass area. In the mother of all storms, July 14 brought another round of hail and torrential rain. As residents crossed their fingers that Fountain Creek would stay within its banks, the creek actually did just that. Driving along Chipita Park Road around 2:45 p.m. that afternoon, Myrna Wey, who has lived in Green Mountain Falls most of her life, thought the town was in for another deluge. “I could see the water come up over the deck of one of the houses on what we call “Preacher’s Row,’” she said, adding that the homes were near the intersection of Fountain Road and Ute Pass Avenue. About that time residents were advised to evacuate to the Ute Pass Elementary School and several did. Last year’s floods wiped out the playground at the school but that area as well as the surrounding school property has been secured with a wall. “The wall held through both storms, Monday and Wednesday,” said Chris Briggs-Hale, the school’s principal. As Wey continued her ride home from Chipita Park, she wondered if she’d be allowed to cross the bridge to her home. Wiped out last year from the floodwaters, the bridge, at the east end of Gazebo Park, had been repaired. “An El Paso County deputy was standing at the bridge, said it was safe to cross,” Wey said. Two days later, torrential rainstorms in the afternoon and eve-
Karen Watson watches as floodwaters threaten her home in Green Mountain Falls July 14.
Little did Karen Watson know that the rainstorm of July 14 would be the first of many that week. Watson snapped a series of photos, hoping she would not be part of the water and mud. A quiet summer day soon turned into a torrent for residents of Green Mountain Falls. Karen Watson caught this photo during the storm July 14. Courtesy photos ning brought another two inches of rain and hail. Again, Wey watched the creek rise but stay within its banks. Across the highway, in Sand
Gulch, Jan Petit, Ute Pass historian, rated the ultimate result of the torrents on the road. “It was horrible,” she said. “But our neighbor has a tractor and he put the road
back together.” This year’s floods, however, were less onerous on Sand Gulch, which was impassable after last year’s deluge. “I just kind of ignore floods, anymore,” Pettit said. The July 19 storm, however, caused a mudslide on U.S. 24 and backed up traffice for two hours.

Council gives parking sign ordinance initial approval Teen Court volunteers sworn in, Teller County Waste requests tabled again By Norma Engelberg Contributing writer
Woodland Park City Council usually doesn’t hear discussion during the initial posting of its ordinances. The posting of a Parking Lot Signage Enforcement ordinance at the July 17 council meeting would likely have been no exception if it hadn’t also been the subject of comments made by the owners of the Summit Salon and Beauty School later in the meeting. City Manager David Buttery told council that signs posted in community parking lots, such as “no parking on snow days” and “compact cars only,” have been respected without creating any enforcement issues but when the city added “twohour parking” signs it was discovered that the city’s parking lot sign ordinance didn’t include enforcement provisions. The new ordinance was created to remedy that problem. The council approved the ordinance on first reading and set the public

Woodland Park High School ninth-graders Sylvie Vogel, left, and Gracie Forbes have volunteered to serve as prosecutor and defense attorneys respectively on the Woodland Park Teen Court. The two girls were sworn in at the July 17 Woodland Park City Council meeting. Behind them is Teen Court Coordinator Beverly Hodges. Photo by Norma Engelberg hearing for Aug. 7 but salon owner April McMicken asked that any signs placed in these public parking lots be realistic and make sense. Her husband, Brian Babin, said the salon’s efforts during the past year and half to change what he called the city’s “parking culture” have not been acknowledged. Salon students are now parking on the north side of the school because of issues raised by a nearby property owner. He asked that a new property owners’ agreement be worked out between all of the owners involved and that any owner who doesn’t sign the new agreement should lose tax-exempt sta-
tus for the portion of their properties that the city administers as public parking. “I think the city should have this ordinance but I am concerned that signs will keep people from visiting,” he said. He was asked to come to the public meeting to voice his concerns. After Woodland Park Teen Court Coordinator Beverly Hodges introduced two Woodland Park High School ninth-grade Teen Court volunteers Sylvie Vogel and Gracie Forbes, city Deputy Clerk Suzanne Leclercq swore them in. Teen Court provides an alternative for teens who have violated certain mis-
demeanors. Young first offenders are judged by their peers and are given an opportunity to have their records expunged if they successfully complete their sentences. Vogel will be a defense attorney and Forbes will be a prosecuting attorney. Requests by Teller County Waste owner Jay Baker for a conditional use permit, a special-use permit and a site plan review have been floating around unresolved since council’s approval of the annexation of his property at 1,000 and 1,050 County Road 231 was appealed to district court by Teller County. Baker plans to use the property
to provide contractor services, vehicle repair and maintenance and a recycling collection center. His request has been tabled to the Aug. 21 meeting to give him time to work out technical solutions to mitigate road issues. City Planning Director Sally Riley said the annexation agreement called for chip and seal on the road but the county says chip and seal is not adequate. The council approved the tabling. The council also approved a temporary use permit for Holly Morrell to host “Movies Above the Clouds” in July and August after Third Friday Art Walk
at the Midland Pavilion on the Green. A temporary use permit is required for events that will run past 9 p.m. Because of daylightsaving time, outdoor movies can’t even start until around 9 p.m. Finally, the council set the fees for 4-inch commercial water and wastewater taps at the request of Charis Bible College owner Andrew Wommack. The city has fees set for 3-inch taps but not for 4-inch taps. The city will multiply its base water tap rate and base sewer tap rate, both of which change annually, by 16.736 to come up with new fee structure for these larger taps. The associated water rights fee will be $11,060, making the 2014 fee for a 4-inch tap $279,723 plus the Physical Connection Fee, which is based on the actual costs of connecting the taps to the water and waste water system. Because Andrew Wommack Ministries Inc. has already paid for the 2-inch tap it will upgrade to 4 inches, the total cost of the 4-inch tap will be about $200,000. Utilities Director Kip Wiley said the change in commercial tap size will not affect the number of residential water taps available for future construction. He added that last year’s higher than typical rain and snow fall have put the city’s water reserves in good shape. “There won’t be any water restrictions this year,” he said.

Florissant Water District updates By Pat Hill
phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com Energized by voter approval to go ahead and update operations of the Florissant Water & Sanitation District, the board of directors is on a roll. Within the next month, the board expects to install “smart” meters
in homes and businesses for the district’s 94 customers. According to board member Barb Faux, the directors will accompany the installation contractor to survey the needs and requirements necessary to bring each home in the district into compliance with the new system. The members will answer
any questions or address homeowners’ concerns, she said. As a result of voters’ approval in the district election May 6, the board has begun paying off its debt, thanks to a $1 million loan from the state of Colorado. The board’s accepting the loan depended on the approval. As of last month, the board began pay-
ing off its $100,000 debt. As a result, the district is now meeting its monthly obligation instead of adding more debt, Faux said. “This was a requirement from the state before the district could accept nearly $1 million of principal forgiveness loans for the capital improvements necessary to stay in business,” Faux said.
Wikerson Pass paving project begins For the Courier Road Improvements are underway on an 11-mile segment of U.S. 24 in the Wilkerson Pass area. The Colorado Department of Transportation project consists of milling off the old pavement and replacing it with new asphalt and chip seal from just west of Lake George to the west end of 9,507 foot Wilkerson Pass. New guardrails and rumble strips also will be placed along the shoulders. Flaggers are alternating eastbound and westbound traffic through a one-mile long work zone between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., Monday through Friday. Delays up to 20 min-
utes should be expected. The speed limit is reduced to 40 mph during work hours. Chip seal operations are expected to begin in August, with a pilot car alternating traffic through the work zone. CDOT is combining asphalt and chip seal to maximize the surface improvements. The highway will be paved with asphalt to repair the roadway’s foundation. Then it will be chip sealed, improving the smoothness and extending the drivable life of the highway. A & S Construction Co. of Canon City is the contractor for the $2.7 million project. It is scheduled for completion in September. Additional information is available by calling the proj-

WP seeking applicants for new mayor City sets Aug. 1 deadline for submitting letters of intent By Norma Engelberg Contributing writer
Woodland Park Mayor Dave Turley’s resignation on July 14 leaves the city with at least one seat to fill. The former mayor is fighting felony charges of sexual abuse of a child by someone in a position of trust. “We’re happy he made the right decision,” said Mayor Pro-tem Carrol Harvey. “It really shows his concern about the distraction to the city.” “I agree with the previous mayor’s statement that he is innocent until proven guilty but that this involves the city,” Councilmember Ken Matthews said. “I think he made the right decision.” “We’re not looking back,” Councilmember Gary Brovetto said. “I wish Dave (Turley) the best and hope he can gain back
what he has lost but the city has to move on.” Deputy City Clerk Suzanne Leclercq explained that filling the mayoral seat is treated like filling any other seat on the city council. According to the city charter, any vacant seat on the council must be filled within 30 days, which means the appointment must be made at the Aug. 7 council meeting. Until that time, Harvey will be acting mayor. “We need to have letters of intent in time to place them in (the council) meeting packets in time,” Leclercq said. “Anyone is eligible to fill the mayor’s seat as long as he or she meets the city’s eligibility requirements: a U.S. citizen for at least seven years, at least 21 years old, a resident of Woodland Park for at least one year and have no felony convictions.” Notices advertising the open position have been posted on the city website and Facebook page and in the local newspaper. The notice sets the deadline for letters to be submitted by noon on Aug.1 either by
email to Leclercq at sleclercq@city-woodlandpark.org or delivered to city hall at 220 W. South Ave. More information is available by calling the city clerk’s office, 6875295. Applicants for the position must be available for public interviews at a special council meeting at 7 p.m. on Aug. 12. If council decides to fill the mayoral seat from within its own ranks, it will have another 30 days to fill the vacant council seat using the same process. So far, only Brovetto has submitted a letter of intent. He ran against Turley as a write-in candidate in the April 8 municipal election for the stated reason that he didn’t want it to be a one-candidate election. In his letter, Brovetto states that he desires to be mayor of Woodland Park “to enhance the quality of life of its citizens, motivate its citizens to get involved in their community and to foster programs which will increase the economic development of the city.” Councilmember Noel Sawyer is con-
sidering submitting a letter of intent but also said he is open to voting for the best candidate. He did not want to say anything about the resignation. Matthews said he has no intention of seeking the mayoral position. The city charter allows for only two seats on the city council to be appointees at any time. That means that if the council appoints Brovetto or another councilmember to the mayoral seat and fills the vacant council seat with another appointee, a special election will be required if another councilmember leaves council for any reason, including moving away from Woodland Park, resigning, becoming ill to the point where he or she can no longer serve, death or receiving a felony conviction. A special election would not be required if the council seat becomes vacant within 90 days of a regularly scheduled municipal election. “County elections wouldn’t count,” Leclercq said.

Shooting ban rules an educational process Visitors contacted, advised of requirements By Rob Carrigan
rcarrigan@colorado communitymedia.com Forest service officials say enforcement of new rules banning target shooting in the Mount Herman area between Woodland Park and Monument is an education process, but is going well. “The implementation of the recreational shooting closure on the Pikes Peak Ranger District continues to be generally well received,” said Barb Timock, Public Affairs Officer for Pike & San Isabel National Forests, on July14. “Many of the issues since implementation on July 8 stem from confusion over the signing, a lack of understanding of what area the closure covers and people not reading signs. The U.S. Forest Service continues to make contacts, issue warnings and educate visitors every day,” Timock said. The map shows areas that are closed on the Pikes Peak Ranger District only. Those planning to shoot elsewhere on the National Forest are advised to contact local Forest Service offices regarding safe alternatives. The area was placed off limits to recreational target shooting July 7, when the Pike National Forest — 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,” releases from the district said. Forest and Grassland Supervisor of the Pike & San Isabel National Forests, Cimarron & Comanche National Grasslands Erin Connelly 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
Officials say new signage is all part of the education process. Photos by Rob Carrigan Mount Herman Road (Forest Service Road 320) from Monument, 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. Because of the proximity of this area to Denver and Colorado Springs, the volume of recreational shooting has increased substantially in recent years,” releases said. Hunters are unaffected by this Closure. The order does not impact individuals with valid State of Colorado hunting licenses who are actively involved in hunting during an open season, according to Forest officials.

Making no difference at all It is the most horrible story I have ever had to tell, I think. Until now, I have tried to forget it ever happened. Don’t even know why I’m even trying to get it out now, except maybe it will quit torturing me. A year or two out of high school, in a crisis of confidence, I guess, I began an emergency medical technician course in at the Vo-Tech near where I lived at the time. I was already going to college, studying, of all things, history, but having a down summer and just then figuring out the world was not as it appeared as senior in high school. I felt betrayed by that. Perhaps you know what I am talking about. One minute, small school, big fish in tiny pond, rule of the roost, and world by its mid-section handle … then comes your education. Not only do the rules of the real world not work like you think they do, you barely recognize the game anymore. That isolating bit of knowledge led me to the idea of the EMT course. “To make a difference,” I told myself. If I have to flop around our here in the real world, the least I can do is try to make some kind of difference. So several summer nights every week, and grueling all-day Saturday sessions, suffering though school on the weekend hangovers, and the general boredom that comes from being cooped up in a dingy, sweat box lecture hall, on everyone else’s day off, I skated though
the classroom portion. Then, in those days, for EMT Basic certification, you also needed something like 20 hours in the emergency room experience. I thought would be the easy part. Oh, they tried to prepare you, saying that you might see terrible, evil things in that emergency room, stuff that would be hard to bear. Right from the start, I found it an ugly world, with some showing their best, and many at their worst. The first 16 hours, I saw heroes and cowards, survivors and victims of the world… predators and prey. Of course, the presence of so many children bothered and surprised me. The darkness of those emergency room halls crept under my skin and affected me. I hated it. With just a few hours left in what I began to think of as a sentence, rather than prescribed hours of service for certification, I was camped in the darkness of the hall on a bench, looking though the bluish green drapes when the ambulance arrived at the entrance
and the paramedics busted through brightly-lit area (there was mostly darkness everywhere else) much like you see in the movies. Of course, what followed was much different. The kid on the gurney was alive, I guess. The vital signs gave that indication. The transparent green mask held to his face by one, another still doing CPR as he was wheeled in. Not very far to where the docs and nurses could work on him. His long dark hair contrasted starkly against the bright white of the linens. A terrible purple and black bruise area ringed his neck. Continued chest compressions. The paramedic had kept it up all way from the jail, where they found him hanging in his cell. Arrested for some minor offense. Continued chest compressions. They asked me to spell the paramedic. Continued chest compressions. For what seemed like an hour (but probably wasn’t) we traded back and forth. Continued chest compressions. Last few trades, you knew, no one was there. Gone. “Stop chest compressions.” Death is weird thing to look at, so closely. I didn’t ever want to see it again. Though, in the years since, I have seen it proceed in a dignified manner. That night however, there was no dignity and it was horrible. We … no, I, failed to make any difference at all.
Billy Martin had close ties with Colorado Springs If you live in a town long enough you hear a lot of rumors and big fish stories. One of the best I’ve ever heard in the 13 years I’ve lived in the Pikes Peak region is how the late Billy Martin was hired to the manage the New York Yankees for the first time in the summer of 1975. Martin began the 1975 season as manager of the Texas Rangers. But on July 20, 1975, with the Rangers reeling at 44-51, he was fired. Out of a job, Martin spent much of his time in pubs drinking his days and
nights away. Among his favorite spots was Benny’s Restaurant and Lounge, located at 517 W. Colorado Ave. in Colo-
rado Springs. Martin was a good friend of the owner of Benny’s dating back to the 1950s when the former Yankees second baseman was stationed at Camp Carson. Colorado Springs was almost like a second home to Martin, who was regular at many of the city’s pubs while in the army. As the story goes, Martin headed to Colorado Springs after the Rangers fired him to gather his thoughts and Summers continues on Page 7

Chipeta among the great Utes In August 1924, a noted Indian leader died. It was significant for many reasons. The fact that it was a Ute tribal leader was almost minor compared to other facts in the story. At the time the Ute Indians had recovered from some very bad times, and this person was there for all of it. The other most unique feature of this series of events was that this was a woman. Leaders were always men at this time, and among Indians this was definitely true. Ouray was almost the most well known chiefs of the Uncompahgre Utes at the start of the 20th century. When Ouray was striving to settle some of the Ute tribe difficulties, Chipeta, his wife,

take time to reflect. But prior to that he interviewed for the Yankees’ managerial job. Then Yankees manager Bill Virdon was on the hot seat and Yankees owner George Steinbrenner was in the market for a new skipper. Virdon was fired by Steinbrenner in early August. Steinbrenner was set to hire Martin, but - as legend goes - the forwarding number Martin gave was Benny’s Bar. According to rumors that have been passed down over the years, a member of the Yankees’ front office brass called Benny’s, where Martin was having a cocktail and telling baseball stories with
was right there. The Utes, made up of various bands, were scattered across Colorado and Utah on different reservations. The Meeker incident brought the troubles of one band of the Utes into the news. Over all the Utes were one of the friend-
liest tribes in the west, and it was Ouray and Chipeta who helped things to stay that way. It was Gen. Adams, who had a home between Colorado City and Manitou, who helped resolve their problems at Meeker. Both Adams and Ouray did not get to see the 20th century, but both of their wives did. Chipeta and Mrs. Adams would see each other, usually in Colorado Springs. After Ouray’s death, Chipeta spent much of her time helping orphan children, Indian, Mexican and white. She had done so many acts of kindness around Grand Junction the town treated her as royalty. In 1913, the Pikes Peak Region started a Ute gathering and Chipeta was one of
the usual guests. It was during one of these visits that the two wives met for the last time. When Chipeta died she wished to be buried next to Ouray. Ute chiefs are not buried in marked graves, but usually at some special place, away from public view. It was thought however, to make an exception in this case. Near her home at Bitter Creek, near Watson in southwest Colorado is the marker for Chipeta and Ouray. The town of Ouray in southwest Colorado is named after the chief. The town of Chipita Park, in Ute Pass is named for Chipeta, and yes, they are spelled differently.
some of the folks in the bar. Martin took the call, was offered the job, and before the day was over was on a flight and headed to wherever the Yankees were playing that night to take over the club. The Yankees finished the 1975 season 30-26 with Martin at the helm. That was good enough for the Yankees to retain him for the 1976 season. That year, he directed New York to its first World Series appearance in a dozen years. The Yankees were swept by the Cincinnati Reds in the 1976 Series. The Yankees advanced to the World Series again in 1977, where the Martinled squad defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers four games to two. Martin was fired during the 1978 season (the first of five times he was fired by Steinbrenner). The Yankees went on to defeat the
Dodgers in the 1978 World Series with Bob Lemon as their manager. Now back to Benny’s. Whether or not Martin was actually at Benny’s when he was offered the Yankees; job will probably never be known. I would like to believe it is true. That kind of a story would go along with the kind of reputation Martin had as a player in the 1950s and 1960s, and as a manager for 25 years until his death on Christmas Day 1989 at the age of 61. He died from an automobile accident. It is a fact that Martin loved Colorado Springs. He was here as early as October 1953 when he traveled to town with a group of major league all stars to play in a post-season exhibition game at Memorial Park. Among the future Hall of Famers who played in that chilly afternoon game were Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, Enos
Slaughter, Eddie Mathews, Bob Lemon, Robin Roberts and Nellie Fox. In 1954, Martin was drafted into the army where he was stationed at Camp Carson. He became manager - at the age of 26 - of the base team. He was stationed there through most of 1955, until being discharged and joining the Yankees for the last 20 games of that season. I met Martin just once. It came in the spring of 1982 when he was managing the Oakland Athletics. I went to Palm Springs (where the then California Angels) trained to watch a spring training game with Martin’s A’s. After the game he signed a program for me. He was very nice and I will always remember him for that. Rest in peace, Billy Martin.
Breaking the (black, fuzzy) mold Been wet enough for you lately? Are you starting to see some black fuzzy or slimy patches appearing around the house compliments of our intense monsoon season? Check out this tale. In October of 2009, Deborah Rumberger, a first time homeowner, and her two daughters moved into their dream home in Helena, Mont., an arid area like much of Colorado. By December, after three months of the entire family suffering from respiratory infections, chronic sinusitis, skin sores and lethargy, they were driven from their dream home by three types of toxic black mold, which doctors said were causing their illnesses. It turns out that 20 years earlier, a pipe had burst in the house during a severe cold snap. After an air test confirmed the presence of a variety of toxic black mold, a contractor started looking for the source finding black mold in the bathroom, under the upstairs carpeting, in the attic under the insulation, in the stairway and in the rafters. Rumberger finally moved out and sold her house at an $80,000 loss. Not a happy story. Molds are microscopic fungi that live on plant or animal mater. No one knows how many species exist but estimates range from tens to hundreds of thousands. They come in all sizes and colors ranging from black to orange, blue to white and yellow to green. Their spores can easily spread through the air, when blown or disturbed in any manner. They’re literally as old as dirt and are found in virtually every environment, both inside and outside your home. Mold growth is encouraged by warm, wet and humid conditions - like the current Ute Pass summer. For those who are sensitive to molds, exposure can cause respiratory problems, nasal and sinus congestion, eye irritation, skin rashes, wheezing and a dry hacking cough. Others suffer severe reactions, such as fever and shortness of breath. Molds are opportunists that can grow and multiple, whenever the conditions are
right. Flooding, leaky roofs, sprinkler spray hitting the house, plumbing leaks, steam from the shower or cooking, humidifiers and even drying wet clothes indoors can create a favorable environment for growth. Exposure to indoor mold is not healthy for anyone. However, those with existing respiratory conditions, weakened immune systems, the elderly and infants and children are most susceptible to health consequences. The National Center for Environmental Health offers the following recommendations to reduce your risk of mold exposure in your home. Keep the humidity level in the house below 50 percent and be sure your home has adequate ventilation, including exhaust fans in the kitchen and bathrooms. Clean bathrooms with mold killing products and do not carpet bathrooms and basements. And finally, be sure to add mold inhibitors to paints prior to application. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment Mold Fact Sheet located at colorado.gov does not recommend routine sampling for mold. The process can be expensive and standards for judging what is and is not an acceptable or tolerable concentration of mold have not been established. Gotta go.

Henrys named grand marshals By Pat Hill
phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com Volunteers extraordinaire, Martha and Kevin Henry have been named grand marshals of the Green Mountain Falls’ Bronc Day Parade Aug. 2. In its 76th year, Bronc Day is among the town’s most honored traditions, its grand marshals a reflection of people whose dedication distinguishes the small mountain community. Credited with reviving the nearly-defunct Triangle Chamber of Commerce, the Henrys were determined to help the businesses in Cascade, Chipita Park and Green Mountain Falls. “The chamber just kind of faded away and we were involved in the rebirth of it,” Kevin said. “Now it’s a living breathing entity; we just tried to string it together.” The Henrys own the Chipita Lodge Bed and Breakfast Inn in the historic log home built in 1927. For the past several years, the couple has produced the summer concerts on Gazebo Lake in Green Mountain Falls as part of their volunteerism for the chamber. The next concert features the Midland Brass at 7 p.m. on Aug. 6. The Henrys, too, recall a time when Bronc Day suffered from a lack of interest from the town but, thanks to several residents who came forward, the annual festival continues. “Now the town and the chamber work together, very closely,” Kevin said. “That’s what was needed to keep all this together.” As well as their service to the chamber, the Henrys are members of the Chipita Park Association which meets at the historic Marcroft Hall. Martha is the associa-

As the grand marshals, the Henrys expect to be riding in a convertible and dressed according to the theme: Wild Wild West Steampunk. “A lot of Steampunk is 1880s-style clothing and they try to inte-
grate the old steam engine type mentality with the Wild West,” Kevin said. As far as wearing Western garb, they’ve got it nailed. “We’re from Texas,” Kevin said. The parade runs along Ute Pass Avenue
and begins at 10 a.m. Aug. 2. The festivities include a pancake breakfast at 7 a.m. at the fire station and continue until 3 p.m. with arts and crafts booth and a performance by the Colorado Springs Indian Center. For information, check broncdayco.org
Teller County: The roads, more or less, traveled Upcoming road maintenance and information for 2014 By Ashleigh Hollowell Contributing writer
In the state of Colorado there are 85,400 miles of roadway, and 28 billion miles of
vehicle travel annually on these roadways according to the Colorado Department of Transportation. CDOT is responsible for the maintenance and care of 23,000 lane miles of roadway, only a fraction of the roads that exist in the state. Roads not maintained by the State Department of Transportation delegate the responsibility to smaller areas
County road crews are also hard at work to maintain area roads. Photos by Ashleigh Hollowell like County and City Public Works Departments, Forest Service and The Bureau of Land Management. In Teller County, CDOT has listed installing highway closure gates, electronic signs and CCTV along US 24 on a list of projects under advertisement. The project was scheduled for bid opening on July 17. The Teller County Department of Public Works Department of Transportation maintains 563 miles of roadway, 491 of which are entirely gravel. Their 2014 Annual Maintenance and Improvement Plan approved on June 12, states their primary maintenance emphasis this year will be on dust control, culvert installation, repair and patching of hard surface roads and pothole repair. The document shows that changes have been proposed to their original policy on hard surfacing and gravel roads where it makes financial sense for this year. We will contract out projects where they provide the best economic value for the County. Transportation constantly reviews past performance, work orders and condition levels so we can continually improve how we manage the road system, the document says. The Teller County Department of Transportation’s mission is to plan and use our resources wisely to provide safe and reliable transportation systems through maintenance and improvement. We will strive to accomplish this mission with a spirit of teamwork, by allowing open communications, and with a true sense of dedication and responsibility to our community, ac-

Lord to embark on Korean experience By Pat Hill
phill@colorado communitymedia.com With an innate sense of language as a pathway to understanding other cultures, Emily Lord, 18, is preparing for a nine-month study in South Korea. Lord, who lives in Green Mountain Falls, is one of 15 students headed for Korea as part of the National Security Language Initiative for Youth. The initiative is sponsored by the U.S. State Department. “I’ve always known I wanted to do languages — ever since my freshman French class,” she said. “I think languages are absolutely fascinating.” Lord’s interest in languages was piqued by learning Russian from an Azerbaijan exchange student who stayed with the family for a year. As a result, she added Russian to her list of foreign languages, French, German, Japanese and Greek. For Lord, who graduated in May from Manitou Springs High School, the trip to South Korea offers another chance to be immersed in the country’s culture. Two years ago, she spent six weeks in the city of Daegu where she was the only student in her class to sign on to the exchange program. “I didn’t speak a word of Ko-

rean at the time but I am really into Asian cultures,” Lord said. Reflecting on the Korean experience, Lord relishes the memories, of a budding friendship with Jina, the daughter of her host family, as well as the temple that contained all of the original works of Buddhism. While most people she met were Buddhists there’s a growing sect of Christianity, she said. As a tourist-student at the time, Lord was curious about her friends’ reaction to the country up north. “This is the younger generation and North Korea has never affected their lives,” she said. “No one talks about North Korea; they just want to avoid
the topic.” With more opportunities for immersion, this time around Lord plans to study math, science, English and Korean. “The point is to achieve proficiency in the Korean language,” she said, adding that she will be a junior in a Korean High School. With an eye on the future, Lord plans to begin college next year in or near Washington, D.C. Eventually, she has her sights sets on linguistics or foreign service. “Do I want to be an interpreter, a translator, or do I want to be a senator or an ambassador? Is it the political or language route I follow?” she said.
Undaunted by being steeped in the language of a faraway place, Lord is ready to embark on her next adventure Aug. 25. “I think in general I’m interested in cultures that are so different and I really like being in an environment where I have no idea what `s going on and it’s up to me to figure it out,” she said. “Korea is not even close to being in my comfort zone. I really like culture shock.” In addition to Korean, national-security languages include Chinese Russia, Hindi, Arabic, Turkish and Farsi. Lord is the daughter of Anna and Tom Lord.

local U.S. Forest Service Department stated. The U.S. Forest Service maintains 210.5 miles of roadway in Teller County. Landis stated their main goals for road maintenance in the Teller County region for the rest of 2014 are “public safety and basic maintenance.” Because of a lack of funding, departments have to maintain the roads on a hazard, public safety and high-use basis. Deciding which damaged roads take priority over other damaged roads is an ongoing process. “When headed out into the field, our staff observes the quality of roads and notes any areas that might need maintenance. Priority for maintaining roads depends on the quality and amount of use of the road,” said Kyle Sullivan, BLM Public Affairs Specialist for the Front Range District Royal Gorge office. The BLM maintains 4.26 miles of road in Teller County, all of which are gravel surfaced. The 4.26 miles of roadway is subject to a rotating maintenance schedule set up by the BLM, but priorities for road maintenance can shift based on known issues. “One of the biggest challenges we face in Teller County is the fractured land pattern that is left over from mining claims around Cripple Creek. There are hundreds of small, isolated and difficult to access parcels,” Sullivan said. “In some cases, these roads may be maintained by holders of right-of-way grants. For example, there is a communications site on Pisgah Mountain that is maintained by the permit holder so that they can access their communication tower.” Each department that cares for roads faces different challenges and therefore conducts different projects and have different ways of determining where mainBRING THIS COUPON FOR $1 OFF first.

of Trout Creek Road, which was the last road in need of major maintenance and the work on the road was recognized as “Best in Colorado Rural Highway Reconstruction” by the Annual Asphalt Pavement Awards Dinner and Program presented by Wagner Construction Equipment Rental and CAT. 2014 has called for a new five-year plan that begins with a large $400,000 Chip and Sealing project to extend the life of pavement. The project will take of most of the City’s Department of Public Works budget for this year. Chip and Sealing began June 7 and will be about a two-week process focused in an area North of U.S. Highway 24, South of Kelley’s Road, East of Highway 67 and West of Park Street. A crew of seven takes care of the city streets and performs the plowing, maintenance and sign care. For the rest of 2014, the crew will be planning for next year, focusing on a restriping contract and performing pothole repair. All of the streets in the city were paved roughly around the same time so they deteriorate at the same rate which presents a large challenge to prioritizing what maintenance should be done where. “The city has a plan and we have been following it and we will continue to follow it. The public pays their taxes and so we try to be stewards and give the services they want, need and deserve. We take our job very seriously,” Alspach said. Smaller cities such as Cripple Creek and Victor face different challenges. Cripple Creek’s Department of Public Works maintains approximately 17 miles of roadway and has 10.5 budgeted positions, eight of which are construction. Jim Blasing, Director of Public Works in Cripple Creek said that the biggest challenges he and his team face are “Keeping up with extensive maintenance. At this altitude to keep up on the freeze/ thaw cycles that affect street integrity is a challenge,” as well as “Keeping up with THIS COUPONproducts FOR $1 OFF cost BRING escalation for petroleum related to asphalt and obtaining competitive bids from qualified contractors for smaller jobs.” The Cripple Creek Department of Public Works has embarked on a streetscape TH project on Bennett Avenue. Part of which was from CDOT for perpetual maintenance. The department is also looking at their 2014 budget to re-surface related commercial areas and resident streets. Victor’s Department of Public Works maintains a little more than five miles of roadway in the city with just under two miles being paved. A staff of five maintains the city roads in Victor. “The biggest challenge in this, as in most other endeavors, is funding, followed by having a relatively small staff. Our priorities are set based firstly on need, and then on availability of funding, manpower, etc.,” said Daniel DelBRINGtime, THIS COUPON FOR $1 OFF aney, superintendent of the Department of Public Works in Victor. Alongside some smaller current projects, the department is looking at major TH TH repairs to South Third Street to begin this summer or fall.

It is time for the Annual Teller Fair at the Cripple Creek Fairgrounds and our theme for 2014 is “Country Pride County Wide”. The Teller Fair has been an important part of summer fun, tradition and celebration for many decades in our community. There is something for everyone! There will be several traditional activities such as an ATV / Dirt Bike Rodeo, Carnival, Magic Shows, as well as additional divisions in the Open Class competition TWO full weekends of FUN! Our Silent Auction this year includes an opportunity to drive a Derby vehicle in on the events on Sunday, August 3rd (restrictions apply). I am very proud of all of the 4-H exhibits and the hard work that our youth put into these projects. They are excited to present them for you during the 2014 Teller Fair. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the businesses and individuals who support the Teller Fair through advertising, award sponsorships, and livestock purchases at the 4-H auction. We also are very thankful for all of our open class exhibitors. Without our sponsors and exhibitors there would not be a Teller Fair. They are truly the ones that make it all happen. As we recognize these fine people, I ask that we all support their businesses. If you've never attended the Fair come join us for a great opportunity for the entire family. We promise you good food, fun and lots of good FAMILY entertainment. Also remember that anyone of any age can enter items in the Open Class Exhibits and notice that entries are due and judging is on Thursday, July 31.

We would like to extend a special invitation to all of the Teller County Businesses and Casinos to attend the Buyer’s Dinner and Livestock Auction on Friday, August 1st. We invite everyone to come and support the Fair and the market livestock members.

Fountain Creek deals with sediment Heavy mud is side effect of heavy rains Staff report Almost every time it rains in the Ute Pass area, Fountain Creek runs red but the rains the area has received lately, especially in the Waldo Canyon Fire burn scar, have sent far more sediment into the creek than usual. The city of Woodland Park is doing its part to keep some of the local mud from draining into the creek. City Public Works Director William Alspach said his crews have hauled 17 truckloads of sediment from the area he calls “the Slope” between Walgreen’s and Wal-Mart on U.S. 24, adding that because erosion control in that area would be cost prohibitive, the city has settled for a sediment-control program instead.
Recent rainfall in the Fountain Creek watershed created raging torrents with so much suspended material, it made it difficult to tell the difference between water falls and land slides in the Ute Pass region. Photo by Rob Carrigan

The event is sponsored by the Pikes Peak Historical Society and the Florissant Grange No. 420, and in partnership with Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument, Florissant Fire Protection District and other community entities to build a stronger sense of community. At 7 a.m. the Florissant Fire Department will sponsor a traditional Volunteer Firemen’s Pancake Breakfast at the fire house until 11 a.m. From there,
visitors can go to the Pikes Peak Historical Society Museum, Costello Street Coffee House (home of Judge Costello, founder of the trading post that later became Florissant), Florissant Cemetery, Hornbek Homestead or the Old School House (at the Florissant Grange); all located within or in close proximity to the town and each offering a different attraction.

ers will be on hand with handmade crafts and many other offerings. There will be historic readings and reenactments throughout the day including performances of gun shootouts and a historic play. There will also be guided activities for children, including games and horseshoe throwing, and a barrel train ride for smaller children. Bringing life back to the Hornbek Homestead, the Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument will hold an open house and free family day at the historic ranch. There, National
Park Service staff and volunteers dressed in period clothing will demonstrate period crafts, lead pioneer games, churn butter and bake bread using a woodburning stove. Tours of the historic homestead will be conducted from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Hornbek Homestead is located down Teller 1, 1.5 miles south of U.S. 24 out of Florissant.

letters to the editor Editor’s note: Former Green Mountain Falls’ trustee Mac Pitrone is trying to stop the building of a trailhead on property owned by the Historic Green Mountain Falls’ Foundation. The letter is addressed to Liz Eickman, director of the Kirkpatrick Family Fund, an umbrella fund of the GMF foundation. Dear Editor: I don’t know how to convey this information without sounding like the grumpy old man yelling at the neighborhood kids to get off the lawn, but I guess I’ll just have to live with that. Since its inception, I’ve listened to members of the Green Mountain Falls trails committee, particularly its chairman Dick Bratton, claim that the trail system is the single greatest asset in the town’s possession — more than the lake or the gazebo or the pool. More than the history of the great families who have frequented the town since before it became a town or those that have lived here for generations keeping Green Mountain Falls as close to original as possible. Frankly, I’m fed up with the notion that if it wasn’t for the trails the town would dry up and blow away. These folks claim that the local economy depends so heavily on the trails that we can’t ever stop adding to them. For one thing, there is not a shred of evidence that hikers add anything to the local economy. No empirical data whatsoever. For another, there’s no empirical data that they don’t. So until you can find a way to definitively prove the issue one way or the other all you have is opinion. Contrary to the now-popular comment, perception is not always reality. Because of our opposition to the trailhead options proffered by the trails committee my neighbors, my wife and I, have been labeled as “trail haters,” “anti- social” and worse. Although we (my wife and I) don’t get out on the trails like we used to, we have been supporters of the trail
system for years, both with moral support and cash in the past. I believe our trails are as usable and pretty as any in the state and all the credit should go to the trails committee. They’ve done a great job and have something to be proud of. Until recently the 139-plus acres that has come under your control has been off limits to most people who were not acquainted with the owner. The offer by HGMFF to the town for the use of the property is most gracious. However, the options for the trailhead are a lot less gracious, and in my opinion, under thoughtout and in at least one case potentially dangerous. Mr. Bratton’s maps and dialogue about the conditions and history of the “Mt. Dewey Trail” are rife with misinformation, mislabeling and inaccuracy. His research is highly-flawed. For instance his mislabeling of the “old horse trail” jumps out as false to anyone who is familiar with horseback riding (you’d likely kill a horse on that trail). What he labels as the “existing Mt. Dewey Trail” is actually the true former horse trail used by the “Elkhorn Stables” into the late 1980s. You’ll have to draw your own conclusions as to the either uninformed or deliberate misinformation. What I can speak accurately about is the change in the quality of life that will occur on the route to and the positioning of the Mt. Dewey trailhead options. With the exception of Boulder St. the access routes to the trails are on wide dirt roads (Hondo Avenue) or paved roads (Belvedere Avenue). Both Hondo and Belvedere have gradual grades and both have turnaround space for drop-offs at the end of the street. On both Hondo and Belvedere, in most cases, the houses are set back fairly far from the road. Grandview, Florence, Catamount, Myrtle and Ora, on the other hand, are steep and narrow roads with the houses set very close to the road (in some cases closer than the codes allow), none of
which has space for a turnaround without driving on private property. Privacy is a huge issue in Green Mountain Falls (what with small narrow lots) and it will be degraded dramatically with dozens of hikers navigating their way to any of the options offered by the trails committee. It is my hope that the HGMFF will act responsibly and instruct the trails committee to find a trailhead or extend an existing trail away from such a denselypopulated area. There are other options. Sincerely, Mac Pitrone Dear Editor: For more than 25 years now Woodland Hardware, previously the How to Store has been a great neighbor in our community. They have generated tens of thousands of sales in tax dollars every year for our community and have donated generously to many community groups, organizations and charities. Since their move I have been to their store several times and recently caught Kelly in the store. I asked him after all this time in the new store why he did not have any signage up because you would not know from the highway whether the building was a warehouse, a manufacturing plant or a store, never mind what kind of store it is. He mumbled something that he is waiting on The Downtown Development Authority. I know that Woodland Hardware financially benefited from moving their store to the development area but I am sure they spent literally millions of dollars to build their store and to stock it. Not only did they build their store, the first one in the downtown development area, but now they will pay hefty property taxes on their building. Most citizens do not know that commercial real estate is taxed at almost three times that of private residences. Three times! The DDA is obviously trying to attract
businesses to their authority. Businesses that need to have signage up to let people know if the building is a store and what kind of store it is. Will another business want to move to the DDA’s property if you can’t put up proper signage? How much sales tax revenue is being lost to the city because Woodland Hardware has not had permission to put up signs to let people know that it is a hardware store especially those that pass through on highway 24 that are not local residents? I would like to think that the DDA and the City of Woodland Park would work together to get Woodland Hardware signs up and signs that can be seen from the highway. Sincerely, Joseph Tanis Dear Editor: Just a quick note to express my feeling that I totally agree with Dave Keesling’s letter to the editor in the July 16 edition of The Courier regarding the mug shots of Dave Turley in recent papers. I do not know Dave Turley personally, but most of us know all the volunteer time he has given to our city and county. When I saw the first small mug shot photo my heart was very sad. Then when the next paper had the same photo only bigger, I couldn’t imagine our paper doing that to anyone who had not been actually convicted. Very poor judgment, I feel. The Courier is the only newspaper I have received for more than 30 years and I have appreciated getting the local news, which is after all where my life is. However, I just feel that in this situation the choice of photo was inappropriate. Sincerely, Jane Lass Woodland Park

County fair features smash ‘em up derby By Pat Hill
phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Demolition Derby at the Teller County Fair taps into those latent feelings of aggression while offering an opportunity to do something not allowed in civilized society. For about three hours derby drivers can do their best to smash or cripple other cars, leaving the drivers to either dust off and start again or lick their wounds in the dirt. In its fifth year, the derby is the brainchild of Lance and Dee Schoendaller whose quest for inventory is a trash/treasure thing. “We take the old junker cars, old clunkers we don’t want to see go to the scrap yard,” said Lance Schoendaller. From clunker to prize, the car is transformed. “We take everything out that’s breakable, put a bucket seat in, build a cage, soup up the motor to make it sound better so it’s all pops and rattles,” Schoendaller said. From shop to bermed arena, the cars are the vehicle for the pending smash-up. “You’re trying to hit as many cars as you can, knock ‘em out, knock wheels off,” Schoendaller said. “The last one standing wins.” There’s strategy involved. “If you can push somebody up onto the berm they have two minutes to make a hit, or if your car dies you have two minutes to get fired up,” he said. The cars don’t necessarily die on the vine just because they’ve been derbied. There’s always a little life left in some of them. “We build pickups, too,” Schoendaller said.
Ouch!!! This year’s race is sponsored by Mark Mitchell’s Double M Concrete, which provides the prize money for the first three finishers in the car and truck divisions. For anybody who feels sorry for the cars, Schoendaller has soothing words. “All of our cars are just rusted out; we pull `em from back of the woods and give `em a second life,” he said.
The derby has become so popular over the past five years that the fair board has added the cars to the silent auction. “You can bid on an opportunity to drive a car in the derby,” said Connie Smith, member of the board. “So you don’t actually have to build a car.” The bidding on the cars closes at 1 p.m. and the derby is from 2 to 5 p.m. Aug. 3.
The silent auction is a fundraiser for the fair as well as the 4-H Foundation Scholarship Fund. The fair begins July 26, with Big D’s ATV/Dirt Bike Rodeo and concludes at 4 p.m. when the overall silent auction closes. Details and schedules are at www.tcafas.org. For questions about the derby, call Schoendaller at 687-2218.

No special session on fracking issue By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com The battle over hydraulic fracturing revved up last week as a diverse group of state, energy and business leaders joined Gov. John Hickenlooper in speaking out against potential ballot measures that would limit the oiland gas-drilling practice statewide. The move came on July 17, a day after Hickenlooper ended his long-shot effort at convening a legislative special session to deal with the highly contentious political issue. Hickenlooper had hoped to accomplish a legislative compromise over fracking issues in order to avoid an expensive, high-stakes battle at the ballot box this November. With no fracking legislation in place to stop ballot measures from moving forward,
Hickenlooper took aim at initiatives that he feels will have “potentially disastrous consequences” if they prevail in November. “With November’s election fast approaching, we all agree we must all turn our full attention to defeating these ballot measures,” Hickenlooper said at the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce. The governor was joined by business leaders and a bipartisan group of politicians to denounce fracking initiatives that could result in the loss of “thousands and thousands of jobs, billions of dollars in investment and hundreds of millions of dollars in state and local tax revenues.” The debate over fracking — the process in which high-pressure fluid is blasted deep into the ground to free up oil and gas — has reached a pivotal point, now that it appears

that voters will be weighing in on the issue in November. Supporters of fracking say it is a job creator and a vital part of Colorado’s economy. Opponents have serious environmental and health concerns. The proposals would allow communities to have more control over where drilling takes place. And one effort would amend the state Constitution to require that wells be placed at least 2,000 feet from structures, up from the current setback of 500 feet. Oil and gas industry leaders say the proposed setback requirement is tantamount to a drilling ban in Colorado. Hickenlooper said the proposed “arbitrary” setback limit “provides no room to adjust based on local conditions and realities in specific communities.” U.S. Rep. Jared Polis, a wealthy Boulder
Democrat who will largely finance the fracking-limits campaign, is backing the setback initiative. After seeing a potential legislative compromise fail, Polis said, “We must turn to the people of Colorado to solve this problem.” “I have said from the beginning of this debate that my one goal is to find a solution that will allow my constituents to live safely in their homes, free from the fear of declining property values or unnecessary health risks, but also that will allow our state to continue to benefit from the oil and gas boom that brings jobs and increased energy security,” Polis said through an emailed statement. “I stand by this goal, I am confident that the majority of Coloradans share this goal, and I am committed to continuing to work to protect our Colorado values.”
Only a ‘glimmer of hope’ for reopening Big Jim’s CC Council chooses flexibility over accommodation By N. W. Oliver
Contributing writer At the July 16 Cripple Creek City Council meeting the now closed Big Jim’s Gambling Hall and Saloon was dealt two major blows to its plan to reopen as a cash only casino. Gary Bedford, a partner in Big Jim’s, was there to represent the casino during the proceedings. According to plan, city’s attorney Lee Philips drafted an emergency amendment to the original city ordinance adding
that the city may wave the remaining months’ device fees for each gaming device in a casino should a casino permanently cease operations during a financial quarter. Bedford did not like the word “may” in the ordinance and thought that it did not provide enough certainty for a casino owner during a time in which “gaming is struggling in Colorado” so direly. He requested that “may” be changed to “shall,” however, Mayor Bruce Brown and the two councilmembers present, Milford Ashworth and Steve Zoellner, said they desired more flexibility. The ordinance passed as written.

Bedford was then disheartened to learn that, if the casino were to reopen in early August, as planned, the owners would have to pay full price for their machines for the quarter up front, and then receive a rebate at the end of the quarter for the time that they were not in operation. “We are not a new business though,” argued Bedford previously having assumed that Big Jim’s could pay monthly as it had before. If the billing procedure cannot be circumvented or altered through council action at the July 30 meeting, Bedford said, “We can’t do it… we won’t reopen.” In his closing statement, Bedford appealed to
the council, saying: “Three huge casinos just closed in Atlantic City. Gaming is struggling and other casinos may go out of business here, too… we need your help to keep going.” Also on the agenda was an administrator’s report on the progress of the Bennett Avenue Beautification Project and discussion of expanding the project to encompass more of the downtown area. According to the report, the project is still on time and budget and will minimally impact upcoming events such as the Salute to American Veterans Rally and the numerous block parties planned for weekends throughout the summer.
SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF JULY 21, 2014
ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Is someone at work resisting that Aries charm? Hard to believe. But seriously, Lamb, you might want to back up your ideas with some solid data, and then watch the yeas pile on. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Your hard work could pay off in ways you didn’t expect, but certainly deserve. Tend to that pesky health problem now so you’ll be in top shape to tackle the new projects coming up. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Planning a family event can be stressful unless you make it clear from the start that you’re in charge. You might accept suggestions, but it will be your decisions that count.

GALLERY OF GAMES
CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) You still have a way to go to bring that professional matter to a satisfactory conclusion. Meanwhile, an important personal situation could require more of your attention by week’s end. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) There’s something about you Fine Felines that makes people want to tell you secrets. But once again, be wary of who is doing the telling. You might not want to be that person’s confidante. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Creating a fuss about a family matter might get everyone’s attention. But it might be better to talk one-on-one with family members in order to spare a loved one unnecessary embarrassment. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) You’re making progress on that career move, albeit not as quickly as you had hoped. But stay with it. Your personal life takes an unexpected (but very welcome) new turn. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) If you feel you’ve been unfairly treated in a workplace decision, correct the situation now while there’s still time to do so. Arm yourself with facts, and go to it. Good luck. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Devising your own system of doing things might be the best way to handle an increasingly complex situation. But do it tactfully in order to avoid ruffling too many of your colleagues’ feathers. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) A family member’s health problem might once again require you to shift some of your current priorities around. But this time, make certain other relatives will be there to help. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Catching up on tasks you’ve left undone will take a while to accomplish. But the sooner you complete them, the sooner you’ll be able to take on another time-sensitive project. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) You might feel swamped by all that you’re expected to do. But take a moment to come up for air, then handle things one at a time, and you’ll soon get through them all.
