Maddux joins mayoral race By Pat Hill phill@colorado communitymedia.com In a late announcement last week, Mike Maddux, a 16-year resident of Woodland Park, joined mayoral candidates Phil Mella, former city councilman; Neil Levy, past president of the Greater Woodland Park Chamber of Commerce; and Gary Brovetto, current city councilman who was defeated in April by Dave Turley for the office of mayor. The Woodland Park City Council was expected to name a temporary mayor today.

Trial Ridge taking shape Expects October opening By Rob Carrigan

Trail Ridge at Woodland Park, the 168-unit apartment complex being built in the heart of the city, is a little behind schedule, but pleased with local response to the
project. “We have had wonderful feedback, Nothing but positive response from the community.” says property manager Connie Woodworth. The project’s original schedule called for them to have leases beginning in September but has been delayed for about a month. “We were hoping for Sept. 12, But it looks like Oct. 13 to Oct. 30,”
says Woodworth. Leasing is going well anyway, with already 45 leases, she said. “We lost a few because we were not quite ready for those that needed the earlier date because they had children in school.” January was the original completion mark, with hopes of one building per month occupied. But set backs to date have pushed that back a bit. Ground was officially
broken on Nov. 13, last year. The project calls for amenities including a clubhouse, health club, cyber lounge, outdoor fireside lounge and car care center. On nine acres, the complex at 311 E. Sheridan Ave., is the result of $1.2 million tax-increment financing between Woodland Park Associates and the Downtown Development Authority.

The expansion at the Teller County Regional Animal Shelter has kicked into high gear. Windows are where doors used to be and doors are where windows used to be. You will have to pardon our dust during this exciting time. There are still many great dogs and cats looking for their forever homes. “Come on up to say hello to them. The entrance to the shelter is changing almost daily. Please follow the signs to the entrance when you visit and try not to get lost. We are not sure that any of the dogs here are rescue dogs!” says Mary Steinbeiser from TCRAS. The shelter is still in need of monetary donations to finish the expansion and to purchase the new habitats to comfortably house the cats during their stay. Those interested can donate online at tcrascolorado.com, stop by the shelter or mail the donation to PO Box 904, Divide, CO 80814. The expansion is slated to be completed by Sept. 15.

The Florissant Library’s Summer Drama Club will once again perform an old-fashioned western melodrama at the Florissant Grange this August. This year’s play is “Cowgirl Cookie and the Mysterious Disappearance of Grandma Sugar” and is a sequel to last year’s show, “Cowgirl Cookie and the Case of the Missing Chocolate Chips.” Written and directed by local children’s playwright Alexi Alfieri, the play will serve as a fundraiser for both the Friends of the Florissant Library and the Florissant Grange. Because of the popularity of last year’s show, there will be two performances offered this year: Aug. 22 at 6 p.m. and Aug. 23 at 5:30 p.m. The Friday performance is free to the public and will include a cookie sale fundraiser organized by the Friends of the Florissant Library. The Saturday performance will be a dinner theatre organized by the Florissant Grange and made available by reservation only. Tickets for Saturday’s show will go on sale at the Florissant Library beginning Aug. 4. Tickets are $12.50 per person, and audience members will be served their choice
of a pork loin or chicken entrée, along with dessert, during the performance. The Florissant Library’s Summer Drama Club is a group of 20 local youth, ages 10 to 16, who have been meeting weekly at the library to learn various drama skills and rehearse this year’s play. “The group is terrific this year,” said Alfieri, “and their positive energy during rehearsal just knocks my socks off. Everyone is working so hard and supportive of one another, and we are having just too much fun!” In addition to the drama club, the Florissant Library has also formed a video club for local youth this summer. This group, mentored by Ranganath and Yamuna Weiner, has been busy behind the scenes of the “Cowgirl Cookie” play learning video techniques and taping rehearsals. The video club plans to film the final performances and produce a promotional video for the Rampart Library District. “Cowgirl Cookie and the Mysterious Disappearance of Grandma Sugar” continues the story of Cowgirl Cookie, a young girl who is addicted to her local library and loves a good mystery. Being the heroine, she has a sidekick, Snickerdoodle, and has grown up in the Cookie
family of many girls (Oatmeal Raisin, Molasses Spice, Peanut and Butter). As the title reveals, their grandma Sugar has gone missing, and it’s up to Cowgirl Cookie to determine what happened. Other characters in the show include Mayor Macaroon, Sheriff Thumbprint, members of the villainous Mustache Gang (Mushy, Crummy, Soggy, Yucky, Bland and Burnt), the librarian Miss Butterscotch, the library’s Madam Director Fudge, and a special appearance of the accountant. Then there is the Granny Gallery (Miz Snappy, Miz Sticky and Miz Chewy) who serve not only as opinionated narrators but especially creative advertising for the local library. The play also features a sign holder who prompts the audience to applaud, cheer, gasp, boo or hiss at the appropriate moments. “I love to write a play which appeals to all ages, and when we spend a good deal of our time laughing in rehearsal, I know I’ve done my job,” says Alfieri. Come to the performance on Aug. 22 or purchase your tickets for the performance on Aug. 23 and support the local library and Grange. For more information, call the Florissant Public Library at 748-3939.
Shakespeare (sort of) comes to the Butte Theater Stage For the Courier Three madcap men in tights will weave their wicked way through all 37 of Shakespeare’s comedies, histories, and tragedies. Directed by Mickey Burdick and starring Butte actors Kevin Pierce (Nathan Detroit in TATC’s “Guys and Dolls,”) Matthew Krob (Sky Masterson in
“Guys and Dolls,”) and Levi Penly (Roy Glenister in “The Spoilers,”) this show is an irreverent, fast-paced romp. In the play’s own words, “I refuse to do dry, boring, vomit-less Shakespeare!” Over the course of 90 minutes, these pranksters introduce the audience to Shakespeare via a cooking show, a football game and even a rap song.
IF YOU GO The show is staged by Thin Air Theatre Company and will open at the Butte Theater on Sept. 5. Due to some content, this show is rated PG-13. The show runs Sept. 5 to 27 Ticket Prices: Ticket prices range from $12 to $18 per person. To make reservations visit ThinAirTheatre.com or call 719-689-3247.

Despite the rain, the 2014 Teller County Fair was deemed by many to be a success in as far as attendance and money raised. Although the official numbers aren’t yet tabulated, Teller County Association of Fairs and Shows Board President Randy Snare said that he was pleased with the turnout. “We had a little bit of a rain problem but I think it was well attended. We had over 1,000 people attend each day for the rodeo and demolition derby. I was well-pleased with the outcome,” Snare said. This year’s Teller County Fair theme was “Country Pride — County Wide” and the TCAFAS board ensured the fair schedule had a wide variety of activities including: ATV/Dirt Bike Rodeo, Equipment Rodeo, Horse and Dog Show, 4-H Animal Auction, Fashion Revue, Ice Cream Social, Rocket Launch, Carnival, Magic Show, Country-Western music concert and dance, Demolition Derby, Cowboy Church plus steak, barbecue and pig roast dinners. On Friday, Aug. 1, a 4-H Livestock Auction was held following a “Buyers Dinner.” The auction is held to raise money for the 4-H participants who raise animals to present for judging at the fair. The livestock auction is an opportunity to help fund 4-H youth

There were more than 30 buyers participating in the 4-H Livestock Auction with purchasers including Double M Concrete, Bronco Billy’s Casino, Cripple Creek and Victor Gold Mining Co. Murphy Mine, Jeff Gaul, Shawn Tomlinson, Park State Bank, Mid Colorado Investments and A-Kin LLC. Baked goods were also auctioned off with proceeds going toward the Ankrum-Nolan Scholarship Fund. “It was the best livestock auction that Teller County has ever seen. It was an even auction in that the kids received about the same amount of money across the board,” Snare said. Open class exhibitors presented

School, library re-enter negotiations By N. W. Oliver
Contributing writer There was not a vacant seat in the house during the Aug. 6 city council meeting in Cripple Creek. Members of the Franklin Ferguson Memorial Library board, the RE-1 School Board and concerned community members filled council chambers. A request by the Southern Teller County Public Library District to approve the relocation of and retain the name of the Franklin Ferguson Memorial Library. Tom Litherland, a board member of STCPLD, was the first to speak on the subject. He began by describing the library’s plan to move to 123 Bennett Ave., the previous location of the Golden Horseshoe Casino in down town Cripple Creek. According to Litherland, the new location would allow the library to offer better services to all of their patrons, expand its selection and offer a new reading program for schoolchildren. Questions from the council about the plan’s economic feasibility were addressed. When the argument for better services was challenged by Councilmember Chris Hazlett who asked, “how can it be better for the kids,” alluding to the three to four block separation between the school and the proposed new library location as well as the division of reading materials that would lead to, according to Librarian Mike McDonald, a 26-percent reduction in the elementary school collection and a 66-percent reduction in the middle and high-school collection, Litherland began to reveal the core of the problem. “None of (the library board) wants to move that library,” said Litherland, according to him, the problem began when “one tax district tries telling another how to spend money.” Litherland was referring to a signed Memorandum of Understanding presented to the library board from the RE-1 School Board President Tim Braun, requesting several expansions of services and other expenditures to be incurred by Franklin Ferguson Memorial. Litherland, and the rest of the STCPLD board perceived the memorandum to be non-negotiable because of Braun’s presentation of the document. “We have been intimidated,” said Litherman. Allegations of “playground bully” tactics during the negations of the memorandum were further supported by Mike McDonald. “I have seen it, I have heard it, I have experienced it,” said McDonald, “the issue is that we
cannot trust the school board.” Dennis Jones, RE-1 school board member, tells another story. “We have tried to compromise,” said Jones, detailing his and other board member’s multiple attempts to get the library board to tell them what exactly it is that they cannot abide in the submitted Memorandum of Understanding. According to McDonald, when the library board asked about whether different aspects of the memorandum were negotiable, Tim Braun flatly said “no.” “After that, I saw that it wasn’t going to go anywhere,” said McDonald. After nearly two hours of reviewing accounts and hearing arguments from both sides, the city council and the gathered crowd had heard enough. “You are acting like children,” said Councilman Zoellner, “you need to sit down and talk, with a mediator, because this is stupid.” At this point, the newly appointed RE-1 Superintendant, Les Lindauer, rose from his seat and asked for the podium. He announced that, as the point of agency for the school district, any negotiations should go through him and then be presented to the school board for approval. He offered the present associates of the library a chance to address all of their concerns with him personally. “We want to make this a better library than it has ever been,” said Lindauer in closing. The crowd responded positively. Councilman Hazlett then reminded Litherland and McDonald that the library and school had been partners in grants and neighbors for nearly 40 years. “It would be a shame for a 40-year partnership to dissolve over a disagreement with a group that only serves for four years,” he said. When Litherland reclaimed the podium he appeared exhausted but renewed. “This has hurt the community and we know that. We will agree to renegotiate with a mediator; somehow, someway we know we can work this out.” Because of the volume of the applause and from the crowd, the announcement to begin a private executive session, likely in which the council discussed the arrangement of a nonbiased mediator, had to be made three times before the council chambers were emptied. Prior to the library discussion, the council addressed the less-controversial issues. Among them were congratulations from City Administrator Ray White to the Cripple Creek Fire Department for their part in assisting with the Victor structure fire. “Our guys

responded quickly, and it is thanks, in part, to them that the fire was contained to one building,” said White, “they really made a difference.” The CCFD responded to the fire in a new fire truck that was purchased by the city earlier this summer. Features and attractions of the upcoming veterans rally were also announced. The event, to be held on the 15th, 16th and 17th of August in Cripple Creek, will feature a POW/MIA remembrance ceremony, a POW/MIA recognition ride, a Veteran’s Parade, VIP guests and speakers including family members of one of the Navy SEALS who fell during Operation Redwing (the operation on which the film Lone Survivor was based), a veteran’s poker run, aircraft flyovers, wild west gun fighters and street vendors. The city also passed an ordinance banning the use of compressed flammable gasses in residential structures for the purpose of THC extraction from marijuana plants.

7 Things You Must Know Before Putting Your Home Up for Sale Woodland Park – A new report has just been released which reveals 7 costly mistakes that most homeowners make when selling their home, and a 9 Step System that can help you sell your home fast and for the most amount of money. This industry report shows clearly how the traditional ways of selling homes have become increasingly less and less effective in today’s market. The fact of the matter is that fully three quarters of home sellers don’t get what they want for their homes and become disillusioned and – worse – financially disadvantaged when the put their homes on the market.

council made the decision to appoint her alternate, Jeanne Harrington to the position of president. “We will miss her,” said Zoellner, a councilmember and a member of the cemetery board. A new alternate will be needed soon. Duties include attending a one-hour meeting every other month to decide how best to manicure and maintain a peaceful place for visiting departed loved ones at Mt. Pisgah. Applicants should inquire at city hall. A letter of commitment was also ordered drafted by the council that could result in a major expansion in child care in Cripple Creek. According to Patty Waddle, the director of early childhood education at RE-1, there has been a lack of appropriate childcare in southern teller county since 1996. Cripple Creek in particular is in dire need because of the nature of the gaming industry. Constant care for all age groups is the dream that the city’s letter could help achieve for Waddle and Cripple Creek through a government grant program that will reimburse the city for all of the expenses associated with hiring and retaining the necessary staff to provide such care. “We need this for all of our children who do not have licensed care,” said Waddle.
As the report uncovers, most home sellers make 7 deadly mistakes that cost them literally thousands of dollars. The good news is that each and every one of these mistakes is entirely preventable. In answer to this issue, industry insiders have prepared a free special report entitled “The 9 Step System to Get Your Home Sold Fast and For Top Dollar”.

Rule of three, shots fired, making hay Every storyteller knows about the rule of three. Beginning, middle, and end. Tension, build up, and release. Omne trium perfectum (Latin for ‘every set of three is complete’). I have early experience with the concept. Ranchers were scrambling to gather the last loads of hay at the end of one summer in the early 1980s. I was helping Dale Johnson and his wife Joy, after I got off work at the hardware store. The three of us were bucking bales out on the Ridge, and hauling them by trailer to their place up river. Usually, because we didn’t get started until after 6 p.m., only about two loads a night. But we were almost done, and going to try for three this evening. Three in the truck, three miles from town. Three loads to go. As Dale maneuvered around trees from what used to be an apple orchard, and into the hay field out there, he spied a prairie dog, about 30 yards out. My experience with prairie dogs was they were universally hated by anyone in the farming and ranching industry. So, it was no surprise to see him stop the Chevy pickup, jump out, pull a Winchester Model ‘94 (.30-.30) out of a gun rack behind our heads, lay the rifle over the corner of the hood, and take a shot. Report. Missed. About three inches high, and from what I could see, as the slug
thudded in the yellow dirt behind, and maybe tad to the right. I filed away that info, and the varmit made itself scarce for a while. We had no time to worry too much about that, with maybe 300 bales to get in the barn tonight. We load the bales on the trailer as quickly as we can, keeping with the schedule. Back in the truck, we are sweating like a doughnut at the police station. Schlitz beer on the ride back to the ranch. Unload when we get back there, with help from Dale’s and Joy’s three daughters. And then back out to get another load. Pulling into the field again. Prairie dog is in the same place. Stop, Dale grabs the rifle again. Braces, at about the same distance, fires. Same result. Three inches high, a little to the right, thump in the dirt. I take note. Varmit evaporation. No time to worry about that. We are
burning daylight. We are going to have to hustle to get three loads tonight. And hustle, we do. Trailer is full again, we are sweating like a long tailed cat in a rocking chair factory. Another Schlitz on the ride to the barn. Go for the gusto. Unload, quickly, and back to finish the job in hay field before pitch dark. In the growing twilight, the Chevy pickup eases around the apple trees and sure enough, the king of all prairie dogs on his hind legs in the center of the hole. Once again, Dale jumps out, grabs the .30-.30 and levels it across the corner of the hood. But just as he is about to squeeze off another one, ... Joy says, “Why don’t you let Rob give it a shot?” Dale finds logic in the suggestion. And hands me the rifle. I am little too short to lay the walnut of the carbine over the hood. So I crouch in the dirt, steady, work the lever, steady again, and remember three inches high, little to the right. Adjust slightly, and pull the trigger. Dead ‘dawg’ parts fly all over the back side of the hole and into the yellow dirt behind. We load the trailer’s third load before dark. Over 300 bales in the barn by that evening. Sweating like Elvis at the breakfast buffet. Third Schlitz on trip in. The three girls help us unload the trailer when we get there. A beginning, middle and... the end.
Construction for Berlin Wall began Aug. 13, 1961 If you were of age in 1987, you will likely always remember the immortal words spoken by then United States President Ronald Reagan on June 12 when he challenged Mikhail Gorbachev, who was then the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. “…Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!” The wall went down 29 months later as an emblem of Gorbachev’s desire to increase freedom in the Eastern Bloc through glasnost (“transparency”) and perestroika (“restructuring”). By the end 1989, official operations to dismantle the wall began. With the collapse of the Communist governments of Eastern Europe and, eventually, the Soviet Union itself, the tearing down of the wall epitomized the collapse for history. In September 1990, Reagan, no longer President, returned to Berlin, where he personally took a few symbolic hammer swings at a remnant of the Berlin Wall. Reagan, perhaps the greatest American president of all-time behind George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, uttered those words as the world cried out for the end of a
very long Cold War. Started on Aug. 13 1961, the Berlin Wall became known as a symbol of communist oppression. In the 1963 “Ich bin ein Berliner” speech, President John F. Kennedy stated the support of the United States for democratic West Germany shortly after the Sovietsupported Communist state of East Germany erected the Berlin Wall as a barrier to prevent movement from East to West. President Reagan’s 1987 visit was his second within five years. It came at a time of heightened East-West tensions, caused in particular by the debate over the stationing of short range American missiles in Europe and the United States’ record peacetime defense buildup. Reagan was scheduled to attend the
1987 G-7 summit meeting in Venice, Italy, and later made a brief stop in Berlin. I was born in 1963. The end of the “Baby Boomer” generation. All I knew growing up was that the Soviets were scary dudes and that they could nuke us at any moment. If you attended grade school in the 1960s and 1970s you remember nuclear drills in which we got under our desks or went into shelters that were supposed to protect us in the event of a nuclear war. We would have all been vaporized, of course, if an actual nuclear bomb went off in our area, but at least our schools wanted us to be prepared for such an attack. The Berlin Wall came into existence after the East German government closed the border between east and west sectors of Berlin with barbed wire to discourage emigration to the West. The barbed wire was replaced by a 12 foothigh concrete wall eventually extending 103 miles around the perimeter of West Berlin. The wall included electrified fences, fortifications, and guard posts. It became a notorious symbol of the Cold War. Summers continues on Page 9

Kids do the dumbest things If radio and talk show personality Art Linkletter’s “House Party” were to be reincarnated today, his wildly popular segment “Kids Say The Darndest Things” would be recast as “Kids Do The Most Dangerous Things.” There’s an ever growing list of dangerous and disturbing trends among young Millennials and Generation Z to prove my point. A warning has been issued by Colorado’s top fire officials about a new game being played by adolescents and pre-teens known as the “Fire Challenge.” There’s a rapidly growing body of YouTube videos and Facebook posts showing kids dousing themselves with a flammable liquid and setting their bodies on fire, while a friend records the incident. Doctors claim that children have been setting themselves on fire for years but that a resurgence in the moronic practice has occurred in the past five years due to the pervasive growth of social media. The University of Kansas Hospital says it sees about 10 “fire challenge” cases a week dur-

Kennedy and Reagan made notable appearances at the wall accompanied by speeches denouncing Communism. The wall was finally opened by an East German governmental decree in November 1989 and torn down by the end of 1990. I never had the opportunity to visit the wall, but I did have friends who went there. They described walking from West Berlin to East Berlin as walking into death. It was dark and dreary and a place you did not want to be for any longer than your curious mind would allow.
ing the summer months. Most at least have the intelligence to set themselves on fire in a bathtub or near a water source so the flames can be quickly doused and they’re left to suffer only first or second degree burns. However, James Shores, a 15-year-old Buffalo, New York youth covered himself in accelerant, set himself on fire and burned to death. Although Shores’ friends tried to put the fire out, it seems they neglected to have water nearby. It would be disconcerting enough if our youngest generations were only trying to
West Germans and citizens of other Western countries could generally visit East Germany, often after applying for a visa at an East German embassy several weeks in advance. Visas for day trips restricted to East Berlin were issued without previous application in a simplified procedure at the border crossing. However, East German authorities could refuse entry permits without stating a reason. In the 1980s, visitors from the western part of the city who wanted to visit the eastern part had to exchange at least DM 25 into East German currency at the poor exchange rate of 1:1. It was forbidden to export East German currency from the East, but money not spent could be left at the border for possible future visits. Tourists crossing from the
What about those Indians? I’ve mentioned Jimmy Camp, and the Indians. The old western movies gave us a twisted image of the Indians in the west. True, there were a few that tried to give us a different look at the relationships. One of my favorites was “Little Big Man” since I know the area where it was supposed to have happened. Some half dozen major Indian tribes could be found in Colorado after 1800. They were mainly the Utes, Cheyenne, Kiowa, Arapahoe, Sioux and Comanche. There were also smaller bands, mainly in isolated parts of the country. The Apache of Southwest fame also visited this area. Some find it interesting that New Mexico has a big Apache reservation. There were occasional marriages between different tribes. On that same note, some of these tribes fought intense territorial battles with each other. The tribe we hear about most often are the Utes. The tribe, actually several distinct bands, made its home in the mountains from Wyoming to New Mexico. The Utes are related to the Shoshones, and speak a similar language. The Cheyenne, Sioux and Arapahoe came into the west as a result of the arrival of the white man. Their movement goes
back as far as the arrival of the pilgrims. This area was largely open territory as Zebulon Pike explored it in 1806. The Kiowa had lived further north, but moved south, away from the Sioux. The Cheyenne also lived in the northern plains. The Cheyenne and the Kiowa were quite nomadic, and camped seasonally in areas we would recognize. In recent years, evidence of their visits have been found near Greeley, Denver and Rocky Flats, as well as Limon, Calhan and Pueblo. In the early days of Colorado Springs, their Indian heritage around Garden of the Gods and Manitou was used prominently. In the 1920s they took a step away from that, but have seen a return to some pride in the Native American history.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor: I would like to Thank Robert at Big O Tire in Woodland Park. When we were in need of help Robert and his crew offered Big help with mechanical and tires. Big O is the place to go! Thank you, Robert Cimino Dear Editor: My name is Keith McKim, a Teller County resident since 1995. Recently I have been reading in your paper some disparaging letters about our beloved Sheriff Ensminger. I use the word beloved for several reasons: (1) the Teller County Assembly voted unanimously to support his bid for a second term as our sheriff, (2)when traveling around the county and interacting with
businesses, churches, governing agencies and individuals he is spoken of respectfully for the changes he has brought to Teller County, (3) Mike is an active member of his church, a devoted and loving husband to his supportive wife (4) he is a hands on law enforcement officer who trains and encourages his deputies to treat all people with courtesy and respect (5) He honors his oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States as well as enforcing the laws of Colorado and Teller County, (6) he has brought dignity to the office of the Teller County Sheriff and pride to Teller County citizens. Ensminger and his deputies have introduced a new sense of security, safety Letters continues on Page 10
self-immolate themselves but this is just one of many disturbing “games” our youth are playing. There’s the Choking Game, where you choke yourself to the point of losing consciousness in order to achieve a high. The problem is every time a child does this, they lose brain cells that can never be regenerated. The practice of inhaling the aerosol spray from a computer dust cleaning product is known as Dusting. Numerous cases of permanent brain damage have been reported due to this practice. Then there’s Boozy Bears and Eyeballing. In Boozy Bears, gummy bears are soaked in rum or vodka and eaten in order to get drunk and eyeballing is where kids put vodka directly into their eyes in an effort to get high. Some have found this practice leads to permanent blindness. Planking, car surfing, pharming … the list goes on. Have our youth gone mad? According to experts, the adolescent brain isn’t fully developed until around
age 25. This doesn’t dismiss expecting good judgment but it does mean we shouldn’t expect an adult level of functioning. A recent study at New York University reported in LiveScience looked at risky behavior in both adolescents and adults and concluded that in risky situations where the outcome was known, teenagers didn’t take more risks than adults. The adolescent subjects, however, went for the risky option more often when the outcome was ambiguous. One expert suggests talking to your children about the possible consequences of participating in dangerous and risky trends. Teens may be short on impulse control but they do have a memory.

west had to also pay for a visa, which cost DM 5; West Berliners did not have to pay this. West Berliners initially could not visit East Berlin or East Germany at all. All crossing points were closed to them between 26 August 1961 and 17 December 1963. In 1963, negotiations between East and West resulted in a limited possibility for visits during the Christmas season that year.
Today, there is a Berlin Wall Memorial in Berlin. It is located in the middle of the capital. Situated at the historic site on Bernauer Strasse, it extends along one mile of the former border strip. The memorial contains the last piece of Berlin Wall with the preserved grounds behind it and is thus able to convey an impression of how the border fortifications developed until the end of the 1980s.
OBITUARIES PLUTT
Albert Plutt
Dec. 16, 1926 – Aug. 5, 2014 Haskell, Tx
Albert Plutt, former longtime resident of Woodland Park and most recently of Haskell, Texas passed away Monday afternoon, August 4, 2014, in Abilene, Texas under the wonderful care of Hendrick Hospice. Mr. Plutt was 87. Funeral services will be held at 2:00 p.m., Friday, August 8, 2014, at the First Baptist Church in Haskell with Rev. Jim McCurley officiating. Arrangements were made with Smith Family Funeral Homes. Per his wishes, he will be cremated and returned to his home in Colorado. The youngest of 4 boys, Al was born December 16, 1926, in Panama, Illinois to his Yugoslavian immigrant parents, Rosie (Pikon) and Matthew Plutt. His father passed away when Al was young and his mother was left with the responsibility of raising 4 young boys on her own. Al graduated high school in Hillsboro, Illinois in 1944 and on December 9, 1944, he proudly entered the United States Navy in Great Lakes, Illinois and served during WWII in Guam. Al was assigned to sea duty aboard mine sweeper USS YMS 353. He was honorably discharged in Los Angeles, California on August 9, 1946, as a Seaman First Class. He began his career with Pacific Bell Telephone Company in Los Angeles and soon met a pretty red headed Irish girl named Jeanne Sweeney. Al married Margaret Jean Sweeney in Whittier, California on November 20, 1949, at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church. They were married 63 years at the time of Jean’s death in October 2012. Al and Jean
made their home in Whittier and San Clemente, California for several years before being transferred to Woodland Park, Colorado where Al remained with Mountain Bell Telephone Company until his retirement in 1981. Al and Jean lived and raised their family in Colorado for more than 35 years before a short time in Arizona, and then moving to Haskell to live closer to their daughter and granddaughter. Al was a gentle and kind spirited man that loved his family. He enjoyed gardening, both vegetables and flowers, and was known to have the nicest garden in town. Everything was shared whether it be his potatoes and carrots from the garden or the beautiful bouquets of delphenians and lilacs he so proudly grew. Al served as President of the Telephone Pioneers Union; lifetime member of the Thomas E. Kelly VFW Post 6051 in Woodland Park, Colorado and the Elks Lodge #316 in Cripple Creek, Colorado. An avid fisherman, Al was happiest either out on the ice or on a bank fishing for hours - sometimes days. He enjoyed many fishing trips with his 2 sons to various lakes in Colorado and Nebraska. He has passed his
love of fishing down to all of his grandsons and not to mention a granddaughter or two. He is preceded in death by his wife, Margaret Jean Plutt; his parents, Matt and Rosie Plutt; and his 3 brothers, John, Frank, and Victor. Al’s memory will remain alive by his 2 sons, Steve Plutt and wife Kim of Lake George, Colorado, Stan Plutt and wife Carol of Florissant, Colorado; daughter, Meg Case of Haskell, Texas; grandchildren, Haley Smith and husband Brad of Haskell, Texas, Jim Plutt and wife Louise of London, Jen Plutt and wife Christie of Lake George, Colorado, Theresa Smith and husband T.J. of Florissant, Colorado, Daniel Plutt and wife Keisha of Florissant, Colorado, Doug Case and fiancé Erica Balcao of Lodi, California and David Case and wife Emily of Mesa, Arizona. Also surviving is his great-grandchildren, Camden and Henry Smith of Haskell, Karsten Matthew Plutt of London, Cy and Christopher Plutt of Lake George, Kyle Plutt of Florissant, Brycen and Shalyn Smith of Florissant, Addison Plutt of Florissant, and Claire Margaret-Jean Case of Mesa. Serving as pallbearers for Al are his 3 grandsons, Daniel Plutt, Henry Smith and Kyle Plutt, as well as Robert Tribbey, Steven Grand, Tim Larned, Heath Pinkerton, and Steve King. If desired, memorials can be made in Al’s name to Hendrick Hospice, 168 Hickory St., Abilene, Texas, 79601. Online condolences can be shared with the family at www.smithfamilyfh. com.

Alaskan Cripple Creek drainage shows plenty of color Dredging operation near Fairbanks complex, expensive By Rob Carrigan

A
s it turns out, there are about 15 different streams in Alaska that are called ‘Cripple Creek,’ but as usual, the one most remembered — is the one where the gold was. That one, first recorded in 1904, was very rich and flows down Chena Ridge into the Chena River, not far from Fairbanks. The mining at the Cripple Creek mine covered about one square mile beneath and south-southeast of the town of Ester, Alaska. The Cripple Creek pay channel was described as an ancient channel of Ester Creek which branched from the present course of Ester Creek roughly opposite the mouth of Ready Bullion Creek. “The auriferous gravels at Cripple Creek are very deep; they are overlain by several hundred feet of barren gravel and reworked loess or so-called muck that washed into valley from the surrounding hillsides. Beds of clay several feet thick were found at various elevations. Subsequent to deposition of the gravels there had been considerable faulting and tilting that has resulted in grades of 5 to 8 percent on the surface of the gravel as well as the bedrock The gravels vary in thickness from 60 to 167 feet; these are overlain by muck that varied in thickness from 100 to 187 feet. There was almost certainly deep, early drift mining on Cripple Creek in the early days of mining in the Fairbanks district but it was probably attributed to Ester Creek mine (FB034) or simply Ester,” according to J.C.. Boswell, in his book “History of Alaskan operations of United States Smelting, Refining and Mining Company published by Mineral Industry Research Laboratory, University of Alaska, (1979). United States Smelting, Refining, and Mining Company (U.S.S.R. and M) consolidated most of the property in Ester and Cripple Creeks in 1930, and this was one of the major centers of placer mining in the Ester area until the dredges stopped mining in the late 1960’s. U.S.S.R. and M. be-
gan extensive churn drilling on the Cripple Creek pay channel in 1933; they began stripping muck in May 1935 and barren gravel in September 1939. Dredge No. 10 started digging in August 1940 and, except for a closure during World War II, it continued on working Cripple Creek until 1964. It was the last dredge U.S.S.R. and M. operated in the Fairbanks area and remains in its pond south of Ester, says Joylon Ralph, founder of Minedat.org. There was almost certainly deep drift mining on Cripple Creek in the early days of mining in the Fairbanks district, but it was probably attributed to Ester Creek mine or simply Ester. In the 1930s, United States Smelting, Refining, and Mining Company (U.S.S.R. and M) consolidated most of the property in Ester and Cripple Creeks, and this was one of the major centers of placer mining in the Ester area until the dredges stopped mining in the late 1960s.

It was the last dredge USSR and M. operated in the Fairbanks area and remains in its pond south of Ester, according to Boswell. There is no record of the amount of gold produced by dredging on Cripple Creek but it was undoubtedly large. Dredge No. 10 was a large, modern dredge when it was constructed, and it operated every year from 1940 to 1964, except for two years during World War II. One interesting aspect about the Cripple Creek, Alaska, mining operation was the role that water and hydraulic mining played. The Chena Pump House is emblematic of the engineering expertise and expense expended to make hydraulic mining work in the region. Around 1930, the chief engineer of the company (Fairbanks Exploration Company, a subsidiary of U.S.S.R. and M) derived a scheme of mining Cripple Creek by pumping water from the Chena River up over Chena Ridge. “This provided enough pressure to operate the hydraulic giants which were used to strip the overburden. The pump was

Today it is a popular bar and restaurant with National Historic designation. completed and began operation in 1933,” according to the Pump House application to National Historic Record. “Inside the building were 10, 14”, double suction centrifugal pumps rated at 6000 gallons per minute against 220 foot head and direct connected 400 hp electric motors. These pumps were mounted in a series, with tow each unit, through three, 26” pipelines against a total head of 440 feet. Water was delivered from there through a three mile ditch to the site of the mining operations where it was used for stripping and thawing and for make-up water for the dredge pond when needed.” According to Register application, The Fairbanks Exploration Company ceased operation about 1958, and the building set empty, surrounded by junk pipe, and rusting equipment, overgrown with willows, until 1978. It was reconstructed by its present owners as a restaurant and bar. “The basic structure of the building remains unchanged, and the original corrugated siding has been retained. On the interior, the main portion of the original building remains as an unbroken space housing the restaurant and bar,” according to 1982 Register application that was subsequently approved. In describing the significance of mining in this location, the Register information
Steam shovels, like this Bucyrus shovel that first dug part of the Panama Canal were used to free gravel for dredging operations. goes on: “The dredging of the Cripple Creek drainage was one of the most complex undertaken by the company. The time, effort, and equipment put into developing the prospect suggest that it was probably one of the richest area mined. The huge Dredge No. 10, constructed for the project in 1940 was the largest ever operated by the company, and the walking dragline, specially constructed for the stripping of barren gravels unique to the area, was the largest in North America at the time of its construction.”

Talk puts fracking front and center Remarks in spotlight
Hickenlooper says panel seeking compromise will be his responsibility By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Gov. John Hickenlooper said last week that he will be the one who selects the members of a task force that will be charged with finding a compromise on issues surrounding hydraulic fracturing. The governor also addressed concerns on the part of Republicans that the commission’s work could result in more regulations on the oil and gas industry. Hickenlooper talked about fracking during an Aug. 8 roundtable event with several business leaders at the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce in Centennial, as well as during an interview with Colorado Community Media afterward. The governor said his administration hasn’t quite figured out how the 18-member commission will be selected or how it will ultimately operate. But the governor put aside any question as to who will put the task force together. “People ask me, `Who’s gonna pick ‘em?’ I am,” Hickenlooper said. “The buck stops here and I guarantee you we’re going to have everybody pissed off again. The one criteria is that everyone who is going to be on that list is someone who believes we can get to a yes (on a compromise).” The task force was born out of a deal the governor reached with Democratic U.S. Rep. Jared Polis earlier in the week that will keep anti-fracking initiatives that Polis was backing from appearing on the November ballot. The measures would have required greater distances between wells and occupied structures and would have given communities more control over fracking - the process in which water and chemicals are blasted into the ground to free up trapped oil and gas.
Hickenlooper and the oil and gas industry were fearful that the initiatives would essentially ban fracking in Colorado and cripple the state’s economy. Instead of the voters, it will be the task force that will take up those issues and that will provide recommendations for potential legislation to the General Assembly. But Republican lawmakers are already feeling uneasy about the commission. And their concerns were heightened following comments Hickenlooper made during an energy summit in Denver earlier in the week. According to the Associated Press, Hickenlooper said the task force’s “success is dependent upon it ending in regulation.” That comment didn’t sit well with House Minority Leader Brian DelGrosso, R-Loveland. “We should go into it from the premise that the commission take a look at whether we actually need regulations,” DelGrosso said in an interview prior to the governor’s Chamber of Commerce event. “He’s starting with the premise that it’s going to be set up to regulate.” Hickenlooper, in an interview with Colorado Community Media, insisted that’s not what he said, even though he made his comments in front of a group of reporters. “What I said was legislation,” the governor said. “Go back and look at the quotes. I never said we needed more regulation. Now, we might. Again, this is the whole point of getting people from all the different viewpoints in the same room and letting them have a discussion in such a way to try to figure out: `Is there a compromise here?’” Hickenlooper said he would like to see the task force’s effort result in some kind of legislation, even if it’s merely “taking existing regulation and codifying it.” “Unless we get it into legislation, I mean we would have made progress, even if we just discuss it we will have made progress,” he said during the interview. “But I think that the best success will be if we get to some level of legislation.” Hickenlooper said the commission will have a “narrow focus,” one that he hopes will result in work getting done in a timely manner.

“We’re not going to be out there talking about air quality; we’re not going to be out there talking about water quality,” he said. “We’re really going to look into surface use issues, a very narrow set of issues to talk about.”
From 48 to 18
The governor said there were different opinions among his staff regarding the makeup of the commission, including an initial suggestion that the task force have 48 members. The governor believes that an 18-member commission will have the appropriate balance of interests being considered. “The idea is there’s six spots for the oil and gas industry, but that would include pro-industry sides like home builders and agricultural interests,” he said during the roundtable forum. “There should be six from the local control and the environmental side of things ... And then six civic leaders who as far as we can tell are not on the record one way or the other, who are what the Quakers call a fair witness.” The governor acknowledges that there are logistics that still need to be figured out. “We still have a lot to work through,” he said. “You know, (such as) if you want a representative from agriculture, is it from the Cattlemen’s Association or the wheat growers?” State Rep. Max Tyler, D-Lakewood, the chairman of the House Transportation and Energy Committee who crafted several pieces of energy-related legislation, said he is hopeful that the task force will result in legislation that is needed to tackle this “really thorny problem.” “We need to make sure that everybody has a voice,” Tyler said in a phone interview. “Ballot initiatives are a huge sledgehammer and you never know what the consequences are going to be and you can’t make changes. And that’s not good policy.” But DelGrosso said he doesn’t know “if you’ll actually see legislation come out of the commission.” And, when asked how a battle over fracking would rank on the list of other controversial measures taken up by the General Assembly in recent years, DelGrosso said, “Extremely high.” “The reality is the economic impact that the oil and gas industry has in Colorado is tremendous,” DelGrosso said.

School tip line now under state control
4.5% LISTING FEE! 719-238-9530
New laws include change for violence reporting system By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com The reorganization of a school violence hotline was among a handful of new safety laws that took effect last week. The Safe2Tell Act moves an existing anonymous tip line from the nonprofit sector to a state-run program that is operated through the Department of Law. The program was set to shut down due to a lack of funding before the Legislature unanimously passed a bill earlier this year that transfers its control to the state. The hotline was set up after the 1999 Columbine High School shootings as a way for students to provide anonymous reports of potential campus threats. The state claims that since its implementation, the hotline has prevented some school attacks and suicides and has led to intervention in more than 2,000 bullying instances. “Students are often the first to hear threats against a school, or to see bullying or drug use, so they play a critical role in preventing these problems,” state Senate President Morgan Carroll, D-Aurora, a bill sponsor, said through an emailed statement. “Safe2Tell empowers students to break the silence in an anonymous, proactive way so that kids can focus on learning while at school.” Also taking effect last week was a separate public safety effort that imposes new penalties on businesses that sell designer drugs. The law subjects vendors who sell synthetic marijuana, often called “spice,” to civil liability. Synthetic drugs have been known to be more dangerous than marijuana and have resulted in some deaths. “Despite their growing popularity, synthetic drugs are incredibly dangerous and this new law is a crucial step in taking action against these harmful substances,” state Rep. Lois Landgraf, R-Fountain, a bill sponsor, said through an emailed statement. “I’m comforted knowing this law is now in place to help keep synthetic drugs out of Colorado children’s hands.” Also taking effect last week is a new public safety law that makes operating a vehicle chop shop a Class 4 felony. The law is meant to curb cases of automobile thefts in the state.

fee for household paint purchases. The fee will go toward the creation of a paint recycling drop-off program. State Sen. Linda Newell, D-Littleton, who backed the legislation that led to the law, said she hopes the program will have a positive environmental impact. “It is the highest volume product that is not recycled,” Newell said of used paint cans. “It either ends up in landfills with paint inside cans or it ends up sitting in people’s basements, or it ends up in the water stream.” The drop-off centers will be located at home improvement and hardware stores, where cans can be recycled at no cost. “Retailers themselves don’t have to do this,” Newell said, “but the majority will want to be a retail recycling site because it drives traffic to their stores.” The process of creating the program began last week. After the new year, retailers will get together to discuss the full implementation of the program, Newell said. The per-can fee amount is not detailed in the legislation’s fiscal analysis, but it is estimated that at least $93,000 in fees will be needed to be collected in the first year in order for the state to cover administrative costs. The cost doesn’t sit well with Republicans, the overwhelming majority of whom voted against the bill earlier this year. “Once again Governor (John) Hickenlooper and the Democrats have created yet another burdensome program that heaps more unnecessary fees onto consumers in Colorado,” House Minority Leader Brian DelGrosso, RLoveland, said through an emailed statement. “Now that this law has gone into effect, Coloradans can thank the Democrats for the increased cost of paint.”

Stage 4 of Pro Cycle Challenge will be a big deal Colorado Springs hosts Stage 4 on Aug. 21 By Danny Summers
dsummers @coloradocommunitymedia.com On Thursday, Aug 21, bicycle racing fans can see Stage 4 up close and personal as the event moves to Colorado Springs for a circuit race. After a ceremonial start at The Broadmoor, the race will head into town and join up with a 16-mile circuit that will be raced four times. There will be climbs through Garden of the Gods, Mesa Rd. and the infamous Ridge Rd., which hits grades of nearly 17 percent. The route will present some challenges for the riders. The largest spectator event in the history of the state, the race will visit 10 official host cities for the starts and finishes of each stage, ranging from small towns to cities as large as Denver to as small as Woodland Park. The two new locations joining the 2014 race - Monarch Mountain and Woodland Park - each offer breathtaking scenery that will add to the overall excitement. Reaching a top elevation of 11,542 ft. on Hoosier Pass, the race will include a total elevation gain of nearly 40,000 ft. over the seven days. Two new mountains - McClure Pass and Kebler Pass - will help reach that number. The fourth annual USA Pro Challenge takes place Aug. 18-24, and invites the world’ top cyclists to race through the majestic Colorado Rockies in one of the largest professional cycling events in the country.

TCA , Canon City set to join Class 4A Metro League TCA is ultra competitive in most sports By Danny Summers
dsummers@coloradocommunitymedia.com In recent years, Woodland Park athletic teams have been part of an ever-changing Class 4A Metro League. In 2011-2012, for example, the league consisted of 16 schools. Just two years later the league was down to seven schools. Starting this month, and hopefully for at least the next two years, there will be eight teams in the league for most sports. Not every school participates in each of the sports sanctioned by the Colorado High School Athletic Association. Coronado is gone from the league this year, moving to 5A in all sports expect football. Coronado actually has the numbers to play at 5A in football, but based on the student count from October 2013 the Cougars will compete at 4A in football for at least the next two years. Joining the Metro League for the next two-year cycle are The Classical Academy and Canon City. Canon City was already playing at the level in a league with Pueblo schools, but in order to make an eight-team Metro League the Tigers made the move to the Springs. Meanwhile, The Classical Academy’s numbers (about 650 in their high school) put them over the 4A threshold of 601. So the Titans joined the league to balance things out with eight schools. “I think it will make things a little easier from a scheduling standpoint,” said Woodland Park athletic director Michael DeWall. “Plus, both Canon City and TCA are pretty competitive in every sport across the board.” TCA’s move to the Metro League made much more sense than it trying to join the Pikes Peak Athletic Conference, which includes schools like Lewis-Palmer, Palmer Ridge, Air Academy and Cheyenne Mountain. “Most of those schools participate in other sports than we do, `DeWall said.
The Classical Academy is joining Woodland Park and the rest of the Class 4A Metro League in all sports except football for the next two years. Courtesy photo “Like field hockey, lacrosse, ice hockey and swimming. “TCA doesn’t compete in any of those sports, either, so it’s much more of a balance for them to be in the Metro League.” TCA has traditionally competed at the state level (in many cases winning state titles) in every sport except softball. The Titans host Woodland Park Sept. 2 at El Pomar Sports Complex in Colorado Springs. “It’s been a pretty easy transition,” said TCA athletic director Gary Geiger. “The Metro League has been very respectful to us and I have had a chance to meet or talk most of the other athletic directors.
“We’ll be the little kid on the block. Our coaches know that, but we have such a high participation rate in sports I think we’ll be just fine.” Interestingly, TCA has already been competing at the 4A level in several sports, boys and girls cross country and boys and girls golf. TCA cross country coach Alan Versaw petitioned the Colorado High School Activities Association to allow his teams to move up to 4A beginning in 2012. The main reason was because TCA had dominated 3A for at least a decade and Versaw was looking for a challenge. His teams
have performed very well at the 4A level, especially at the state events. Golf has played at 4A because there is no 3A division; only 5A and 4A. TCA does not compete in every CHSAA sanctioned sport. The sports it will compete in the 4A Metro League are cross country, golf, boys and girls soccer, boys and girls track, volleyball, boys and girls basketball, wrestling and baseball. “Coming from the 3A Tri-Peaks League where we had to travel up to three-and-ahalf hours to places like Lamar, Buena Vista, Salida, La Junta and Trinidad, a 15 or 20 minute bus ride is nothing,” Geiger said.
Sports teams have official go-ahead to practice Most teams assembled Aug. 11; games start as early as next week By Danny Summers dsummers@coloradocommunitymedia. com Beginning on Aug. 4, Brian Gustafson was “officially” able to start working with his Woodland Park High School boys’ golf team at Shining Mountain Golf Course. But for the rest of the Woodland Park athletic teams the starting date was Aug. 11. “We’re excited to get back out there and get after it,” said Woodland Park football coach Joe Roskam, who is 13-17 in three seasons at the school. “We’ve been working here and there all summer on a lot of different things.” The Panthers open their season Aug. 29 against Rampart at District 20 Stadium. Rampart’s new coach is Rob Royer, served as Woodland Park’s offensive coordinator in 2013. The Woodland Park football team, like most prep sports teams these days, is allowed to assemble all summer in an unofficial capacity with the head coach and assistant coaches present. The only difference now is that the Colorado High School Activities Association sanctions practices and sets mandatory days, as well as when football teams can put on pads and have full contact.
Woodland Park volleyball coach Stacy Roshek had open gyms this summer (prior to the recent resurfacing of the three courts). Likewise, cross country coach Ron Payton had given his club a workout program for the summer. New boys’ soccer coach Noel Sawyer secured a field at Meadow Wood park this summer so that he can get closer a look at the players he will be working with this fall. “I wouldn’t say the rules are any different than they’ve been in the past,” said Woodland Park athletic director Michael DeWall. “It’s just that these days so many sports are played year round if you don’t have contact with your kids you fall behind.” The Woodland Park softball team has had the most success of any of the school’s fall sports teams in recent years. The Panthers have advanced to the postseason the last two years, and even hosted a 4A district tournament in 2013. Coach Dale Huntington lost a bevy of talented seniors, but returns numerous underclassmen. Most Woodland Park teams will again play in the 4A Metro League, which consists of new members Canon City and The Classical Academy, as well as Sierra, Mitchell, Harrison, Widefield and Mesa Ridge. Woodland Park’s football team plays in the 3A South Central League with Discovery Canyon, Lewis-Palmer, Harrison, Mitchell and Canon City. TCA, a new Metro League school this year, plays football in the 3A Southern League with Pueblo County, Pueblo East, Pueblo Central and Sierra.
At 12:01 a.m. on Aug. 14, the Woodland Park High School football team will hit Panthers Field for “Midnight Madness.” It is a ceremonial start to their season in which they practice about two hours. File photo

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF AUG 11, 2014
ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Dealing with a difficult person can be the kind of challenge you Aries Lambs love. Or it could be an energy-draining exercise in futility. Be certain your goals are worth your efforts. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) The Divine Bovine might be seeing red at having your crisis-resolution efforts overlooked. But others know the truth, and they can be expected to step forward when the time comes. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) You should be well on your way to finally making that important decision. Having the support of loved ones will help when crunch time comes. Keep a positive attitude.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Feeling uneasy about a move might not mean you’re having a case of Cancerian wavering. It could be your inner sense is warning you to reassess your situation before taking action. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Your pride could get in the way of admitting you might have erred. Best to ‘fess up now before a small mistake turns into a big misunderstanding. Make the weekend a special family time. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Trying to please someone with a less-than-glowing opinion of something you value could be a waste of time. If you like it, stay with it. The week’s end brings an answer to an old mystery. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) There might be time to make a change. But be honest with yourself: Is it what you really want, or one you feel pressured into making? Your answer should determine your next move. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Change is dominant, but so is caution: Proceed carefully, checking each step along the way to avoid encountering any unwelcome surprises that might be lurking along your path. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) It could be a mistake to rely on someone to keep his or her promise without checking out previous performances. What you learn now could save you from a painful lesson later. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Taking a strong stand on an issue you feel is too important to ignore could inspire others to follow suit. The weekend is a good time to socialize with old friends and make new ones. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Your sensitive nature gives you an insight into the problems of someone close to you. Your offer of support could be just what this person needs to start turning his or her life around. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Financial matters continue to need even more careful analysis than usual. Use caution with investment possibilities. A personal relationship might take an unexpected turn by the week’s end. BORN THIS WEEK: YYou appreciate the wonders of the world and enjoy sharing your delight with others. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

Without public notices, the government wouldn’t have to say anything else.
Public notices are a community’s window into the government. From zoning regulations to local budgets, governments have used local newspapers to inform citizens of its actions as an essential part of your right to know. You know where to look, when to look and what to look for to be involved as a citizen. Local newspapers provide you with the information you need to get involved.
Notices are meant to be noticed. Read your public notices and get involved!
