Levy named mayor of Woodland Park By Pat Hill

phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com What may have been the best show in town was in council chambers Aug. 12 when Neil Levy was named Mayor of Woodland Park, the result of winning the draw over runner-up Phil Mella. Of five candidates hoping to replace Mayor Dave Turley, who resigned in June, the two beat out the opposition by capturing three votes apiece from six councilors, including Mayor Pro Tem Carrol Harvey. The council voted by secret ballot. The city’s charter approves the unconventional method of choosing a mayoral replacement when there seems to be no end to the tie vote. The candidates, Levy, Mella, Gretchen Bundy-Ladowicz, Mike Maddux and current city councilor Gary Brovetto, were questioned by the council on issues ranging from business, education, housing and marijuana, the latter from John Schafer. Of the five, Levy, Mella and Brovetto had Neil Levy assumes his post as Woodland Park’s new mayor Aug. 12.

lighting his managerial skills as the owner of the Swiss Chalet in Woodland Park and the Peppertree restaurants in Colorado Springs. “My managerial style is simple; I let people take ownership because they love to do that,” he said. “Most of the staff at the Swiss Chalet has been with me between 10 and 16 years. That’s unheard of in our business.” To a question about how to build the future for Woodland Park, Levy named the aquatic project along with generating a stronger business climate and increasing affordable housing. “You can’t pay teachers $30,000 a year and expect them to live here,” he said. Brovetto, from his seat on the council, asked how Levy would get the public involved in the political process. “If I was mayor and as a result of the people I know and have created relationships with, I think I could help build excitement and encourage people to step up a little bit more and follow my lead, because I’ve been that person,” he said. As the father of three boys, Levy is a perennial volunteer in the RE-2 School District, service he encourages others to follow. Asked about his interest in education, Levy emphasized his role in developing the alternative education program while being on the community task force to review the district’s curriculum. “In terms of athletics I’ve coached baseball for the last 40 years, the last 15 in

Racing teams and provisional rosters have been announced for the 2014 USA Pro Cycling Challenge and on Aug 22, many of the best riders in the world will ascent upon Woodland Park. Headlining the impressive group of riders is 2013 USA Pro Challenge champion — and fifthplace finisher in last month’s Tour de France — Tejay van Garderen. Van Garderen, who makes his home in Aspen, will be joined by 2014 Tour de France KOM Jersey winner Rafał Majka, as well as teammate and Tour de France stage winner Michael Rogers. The USA Pro Challenge takes place Aug. 18-24 and will travel through 10 official host cities on a scenic tour of the Colorado Rockies. Colorado Springs will host Stage 4 of the event on Aug. 21. Woodland Park will be the starting point for Stage 5 on Aug. 22. Many of the riders recently competed in the Tour de France. Three riders competing in the 2014 Pro Challenge finished in the top-12 places at this year’s Tour de France, including van Garderen, Leopold König (seventh) and Frank Schleck (12th). Majka also won two stages. Additionally, the race also will feature two riders that finished on the podium in previous years of the Tour de France — Ivan Basso,

who also is a two-time Giro d’Italia winner, and Schleck — and multiple riders who captured a stage win — Jens Voigt, Basso, Schleck, Rogers and Majka. “The best of the best in professional cycling will charge the streets of Colorado,” said Shawn Hunter, CEO of the USA Pro Challenge. “The competition this year will be tough and it’s going to be a great show for fans around the world.” Emphasizing the competitive level of the field, the current and former USPRO National Champions in road race will line up in Colorado (Eric Marcotte (2014) and Fred Rodriguez (2013). In addition to Marcotte, the race will include three other current national champions - Schleck (LUX), Hayden Roulsten (NZL) and Riccardo Zoidl (AUT). Other international stars competing in the this year’s Pro Challenge include current junior world champion Matej Mohori , Tour of Slovania winner Tiago Machado, Columbian climbing sensation Janier Acevedo, and Michael Markov and Matthew Lloyd, who both won stages in the Giro d’Italia. The 2014 USA Pro Challenge will include five of the top-six finishers from last year, including van Garderen, Gregory Brenes, Tom Danielson, Janier Acevedo and Lachlan Morton. Almost all of the jersey winners from 2013 will be back to defend their titles The elite professional roster of teams, which includes 128 riders from 30 countries, is comprised of six teams that competed in the Challenge continues on Page 5

Kids celebrated at Pro Challenge By Pat Hill

phill@colorado communitymedia.com When more than 100 cyclists begin Stage 5 of the 2014 Pro Challenge in Woodland Park the morning of Aug. 22, the event has spawned an all-day celebration. “We want to create a festival so that we keep people in town,” said Karen Casey-Svetich, director of education for the Pro Challenge in Woodland Park. Coordinator for North Teller Build a Generation, Casey-Svetich is clued in to what attracts adolescents and teenagers. “We do prevention work, so decided to do

a pro-social event for our kids the day of the race,” she said. A BMX demonstration by Stunt Masters leads the Youth Expo kickoff at 2 p.m. on the green at the Ute Pass Cultural Center. As well, the Stunt Master will do a charactereducation presentation. While some kids might not believe nutrition is important, the expo includes the Flying Carrot bus, a collaboration of the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs and the Pikes Peak Community Foundation. “Inside the bus there are bicycles set up and they create smoothies — kids can

Lichina Automotive gets ready to expand Fred’s Towing puts expansion on hold By Norma Engelberg Contributing writer

Drainage issues have derailed David Zeiler’s plans to expand Fred’s Towing. He wanted to add a U-Haul truck and trailer rental to his towing business located at 314 N. U.S. 24. An inspection by the city engineer and inspector found that paving his parking lot, ordinarily a requirement for this kind of expansion, might worsen already existing drainage issues in that area. They suggested that he could leave enough of the lot to accommodate five or six U-Haul trucks unpaved for up to two years but that once the business was up and running or within two years he would have to comply with a drainage study and make necessary improvements. City Planning Director Sally Riley informed members of the Woodland Park Planning Commission at their Aug. 14 meeting that Zeiler is withdrawing his request for a conditional use permit and will reassess his plans and the drainage issues after the current rainy season and the opening of the nearby Tractor Supply Co. Tom Lichina, owner of Lichina Automotive on Park Street, also has plans to expand but they are still moving forward. The commission voted unanimously to recommend the approval of his request for a conditional use permit to add an 800-square-foot building, including a fourth automotive repair bay. Keith Meier is his architect. Lichina Automotive has been operating at its current site for 20 years. The new building will remedy some vehicle and parts storage issues and will allow Lichina to work on larger vehicles out of the weather. Kelly Rodarmel, co-owner of Woodland Hardware, sent a letter stating concerns that increased parking on Park Street if Lichina expands will hinder deliveries to his business.

This lot at the corner of Colo. 67 and Tamarac Parkway is part of an effort to re-zone eight lots in Tamarac Tech Park. If the rezoning is approved by the Woodland Park City Council as recommended by the planning commission, three of the lots would be zoned for multi-family residences. Photo by Norma Engelberg “The Rodarmels should have thought of that before building,” Lichina said. “I brought that up when they were getting their permits.” In his letter, Rodarmel suggested that the city create a 20-30-foot no-parking zone along the west side of Park Street south of his driveway but the commissioners said the

hardware store has another delivery entrance it can use and recommended denial of his request. Lichina’s conditional use permit ordinance will go to city council for first reading on Aug. 21 and public hearing on Sept. 4 In her monthly report to the commission, Riley said that between Jan. 1 and July 31 the

Turley case Online lottery sales banned postponed as new law takes effect Bill received unanimous support in Senate, strong bipartisan backing in House

By Pat Hill

phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com It’s another postponement for former Woodland Park mayor Dave Turley. Scheduled for arraignment in Teller County district court Aug. 11, Turley and his attorney Cynthia McKedy, were told to return at 1:30 p.m. Sept. 22. There was no comment from Sharon Flaherty, prosecuting attorney with the office of district attorney Dan May. Turley was arrested May 29 by the Woodland Park Police Department on suspicion of sexual assault on a minor by a person of trust. He posted a bond of $10,000.

By Vic Vela vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com A law that temporarily prohibits lottery tickets from being sold online took effect earlier this month. The law was a response to a 2011 decision by the U.S. Department of Justice that opened the door for states to allow lottery ticket sales over the Internet. But many Democrat and Republican lawmakers this year were concerned that online sales would hurt small businesses, particularly convenience stores that rely on lottery ticket sales.

THINGS TO DO

Lawmakers were also worried that online sales would make it easier for minors to gamble and that online lottery ticket sales would be akin to the expansion of gaming in the state. The law puts a three-year hold on online lottery ticket sales, to allow for more study on its impact. “Allowing lottery tickets to be sold on the Internet had the potential to undermine the strong and successful partnership between local businesses and the state of Colorado,” State Sen. Jeanne Nicholson, D-Gilpin County, said through an emailed statement. “In addition to helping keep lottery tickets out of the hands of minors, this law protects entrepreneurs and helps strengthen Colorado’s economic recovery by encouraging customers to shop at local grocery and convenience stores.”

Nicholson sponsored the bill in the Senate with Canon City Republican Sen. Kevin Grantham, where it received unanimous support. The bill also received overwhelming bipartisan support in the House, where Republicans unanimously backed and 23 Democrats voted in favor of it as well. Rep. Dan Pabon, D-Denver, one of 14 Democrats to vote against the bill, argued during a Feb. 24 House floor debate that denying lottery ticket sales online takes away potential revenue from the state and that it’s nearsighted to contain modern market forces. “This is, in a very simple way, a protectionist measure to simply stop the market forces, stop technology from emerging and simply keep the status quo in place,” he said. The law took effect Aug. 6.

curbing mental health-related tragedies, including suicide. Colorado continues to have one of the highest suicide rates in the nation. “We do not want to lose one more person to the tragedy of suicide, gun violence, substance abuse or mental illness,” Gov. John Hickenlooper said through an emailed statement. The hotline is part of a legislative package that recently became law, which made improvements to services that

are provided by the Department of Human Services. The changes also include more walk-in and mobile crisis services as well as a staterun public information campaign that raises awareness of mental health issues and services. “Colorado made an unwavering commitment to redesign and strengthen our mentalhealth service support system, and this is a critical step,” Hickenlooper said. Callers to the hotline can

speak with mental-health professionals at any time of the day. The counselors are available for emotional support and also to provide referrals for mental-health services. “Mental health is a key component to overall health, wellness, and public safety,” said state Sen. Irene Aguilar, D-Denver, who is a physician. “When Coloradans are healthy, the entire state thrives.” The hotline number is 844493-TALK (8255).

Church in the Wildwood in Green Mountain Falls completed the fiveweek observation of its 125th anniversary Aug. 10. In a reference to the

years between 1989 and 2014, the Rev. David Shaw talked about struggle and chaos, that of the church as well as a natural part of human life. “Fear and turbulence can happen from time to time,” said Shaw, in his sermon during the service. Over the past 25 years, the church twice experienced a philosophical

split within the congregation but today the members are united and the church remains a vital part of the Green Mountain Falls’ community. “In 2007, there was a lot of chaos here,” he said. “But wonderful things can happen after chaos.” The event concluded with a reception in Tatter Hall.

“In terms of athletics I’ve coached baseball for the last 40 years, the last 15 in Woodland Park,” he said. Noel Sawyer asked how Levy would bring the “wow!” to the city. “The ‘wow!’ is the support that I’m going to get from the community because of the relationships I’ve created over the years,” he said.” I love this community; I work hard and will do anything I can to put a great face on this community.” To a question about marijuana, Levy had the answer. “I’m in favor of recreational marijuana. That means that we should have a ballot initiative and let the people in this community decide,” he said. “I see what other communities are doing; I see the tax revenue that is generated and would love to have those resources. I believe marijuana is here to stay. In my opinion, 10 years from now we’ll have more than two states that will allow marijuana.” From the audience, several residents praised Levy’s qualifications, including his oldest son, Max Levy, who called his dad “my hero.”

To continue the emphasis on nutrition, volunteers from the Harvest Center in partnership with Randy James, M.D., Jane Enger and Enger’s intern will offers samples from the garden at Aspen Valley Ranch. “We want kids to see what fresh foods taste like vs shelf food,” Casey-Svetich said.

Do wolverines live here in Colorado? My dad, a life-long resident of the state until his death last year, insisted that there are wolverines in Colorado. Not only that, but he claimed he had spotted the beast twice in the last few years. “From an official standpoint,” noted Tyler Baskfield, spokesman for the Colorado Division of Wildlife, when I asked him about it several years ago, “They do not exist here in the state.” “There are reported sightings throughout the state – mostly at higher elevations,” Baskfield acknowledges. The animals are difficult to document because “they roam 60 or so miles a day, that makes it hard to keep up with them.” Not far from here, in February of 1966, came the report of the slaying of wolverine, at that time, the first verified in Colorado in more than 25 years. “The animal was shot Friday by Roy Goecker of 4900 S. Wadsworth Blvd., Littleton, a professional guide, while he was hunting mountain lions along Pine Creek near Rampart Range in Douglas County,” wrote Al Nakkula of the Rocky Mountain News more than 48 years ago. “Goecker told game officials his three hunting dogs came across the scent of the wolverine and pursued it into a rocky draw where the animal was cornered in deep snow. The guide said he was compelled to shoot the wolverine because of the known ferocious nature of the animal, to save his dogs.” Nakkula’s Rocky Mountain News story at the time cited Herman Schultz, a wildlife conservation officer for the State Game, Fish and Parks Department, as saying the that the wolverine easily could have destroyed Goecker’s hunting dogs. “He estimated the brown-black wolverine, a female about three feet long and weighing

21 pounds, was about 20 years old. Although the animal still had long sharp claws, her normal large fangs were nearly worn down to the gums because of age,” the report said. According to San Francisco State University Department of Geography, the species officially named Gulo Gulo, but commonly known as wolverine, glutton, skunk bear, Indian devil, and carcajou, is a fairly elusive critter. “Basic information on wolverine habitat relationships is almost non-existent,” says the University’s web site. “They generally inhabit areas above timberline, oftentimes preferring lower-elevation forests during winter. Wolverines occur in such low numbers across most of their remote habitat, and are so mobile; that it has been is extremely difficult to study them.” “Healthy populations of wolverines appear to exist in Montana and Idaho, but scientists have been unable to locate populations in other plausible mountain locations, such as southwest Colorado or the Cascades of Washington,” says San Francisco State University’s site, “They have evaded trap and camera in California for over 75 years.” The Department of Geography at Michigan State University (Wolverines) notes that extensive scientific efforts in California and Michigan have failed to prove that they still

inhabit those states. “Since 1979 Colorado wildlife officers have investigated more than 100 sightings and snow tracks, but by the time they return with a camera, the tracks have invariably drifted over. The closest they’ve come to a real wolverine was in 1982, when they nabbed an escapee from a Colorado Springs zoo who had gotten himself hopelessly tangled in a Denver window well,” according the Michigan State University’s Department of Geography web site. The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) announced on Aug. 12, that it has withdrawn the proposed rule to list wolverine as threatened in the contiguous United States under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) supports the USFWS for careful scrutiny of the available science on potential impacts of climate change on wolverine status, according to a release from CPW on Thursday, Aug. 14. “CPW believes that state wildlife agencies within the wolverine range have developed conservation programs that are effective in maintaining wolverines within the lower 48 states, as evidenced by expansion in distribution of the species. The USFWS simultaneously withdrew a proposed “nonessentialexperimental” population designation for the southern Rockies.” In July 2010, the Wildlife Commission (now the Parks and Wildlife Commission) authorized staff to begin having conversations with conservation partners and stakeholders about the potential reintroduction of wolverines. CPW intends to reconvene the stakeholder group and continue those discussions in light of the recent Federal decision not

Did you know that Bill Parcells once lived among us here in the Pikes Peak region? I watched the Baseball Hall of Fame induction ceremonies on television a few weeks ago. One of the people in Cooperstown, New York, supporting Joe Torre was his good friend Bill Parcells. Parcells, of course is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame and still is one of the most recognizable people in all of American sports. With the start of the NFL regular season just two weeks away, seeing Parcells reminded me that he once lived, worked and played right here in the Pikes Peak region. Several years before he was a two-time Super Bowl-winning coach, Parcells spent a brief, albeit reflective, time in Colorado Springs. The “Big Tuna,” as Parcells would later affectionately be called, was the head coach of the Air Force Academy in 1978, and later a

high school football color commentator for local KRDO-AM radio. Jeff Thomas, who worked as the play-byplay announcer alongside Parcells in the fall of 1979, once told me “Bill was a pretty good commentator. He added insight and seemed to really enjoy himself. Parcells, who turns 73 on Aug. 22, coached the Air Force Falcons to a 3-8 record in 1978

- clearly not an indication of better things to come for the future Pro Football Hall of Famer. He was “replaced” after the season. Always the optimist, Parcells admits he disliked the Academy facilities - especially his small office. He also was unhappy that the Falcons played as an independent and drew small home crowds. But Parcells was not out of work long when he was offered a position as the defensive coordinator for the New York Giants - the team for which he would gain his most fame. I just felt like going to pro football was something I wanted to try to do,” Parcells once told me. Parcells’ then wife, Judy (he divorced her in 2002 after 40 years of marriage), and their Summers continues on Page 9

Hanging out at the cafe In many towns, one of the first businesses was a cafe, or someplace to get a meal. I have traveled the great plains from Canada to Texas and have this image of a typical plains town of the 1940s or early 1950s. This was before the interstate highways. As a kid, my parents traveled across the country several times on summer trips. Without super highways it took a long time to get from Colorado to east of the Mississippi. Think about a two lane road, generally on one side is the railroad track, and it serves grain elevators and maybe even a bulk oil dealer or two. Perhaps there are some buildings, like gas stations, feed stores, maybe a “dime store.” There might be several rows of streets

with big trees lining them where a few people live. A school, even more than one if it is a county seat. The main street has a cafe or two. These open about the time the sun comes up, and outside sit pickups, a truck or two, and maybe a big tractor or two. It might have a big sign that just says

“eat” or “food,” but most have windows so you can see inside to the counter. Lined up at the counter are several suntanned gents, wearing faded coveralls with caps with various company names on them. Perhaps the cook has the radio on with the latest farm reports. KOA and KLZ radio in Denver used to have seemingly endless reports on the latest hog, cattle, wheat and corn prices in Omaha and Chicago that could be heard all across Kansas and Nebraska. As the customers drink their coffee — some have a full breakfast — and try to solve the problems of the outside world and their own area. On the counter are the essentials: Napkins, salt, pepper and sugar. The world of spice like tobacco has not arrived yet. There is usually a jukebox with the

latest country and western and bigband tunes, maybe even a rock and roll tune, but they wait until after lunch to be used. Do not forget the menu in its cellophane folder with stitched edges, hand lettered, typed, and in prosperous places, printed pages. Perhaps the tables have waxy covers of red and white. The customers, and the staff, belong in a Norman Rockwell painting or magazine cover. As an artist, I have painted variations of this scene several times, but I do not think the places still can be found. Then I make a trip and come home knowing, yes they do, but they are getting more difficult to find! I even have my favorite painting of such a spot hanging in my living room.

Internet addiction in China Think Internet addiction is an imaginary disorder invented by out-of-touch parents of Millennials and Gen X-ers? Check out this tale published in the London Mirror. Groggy from playing World of Warcraft for 40 straight hours, Isaac Vaisbery slumped to the floor and wept as he realized the Internet had taken over his life. He hadn’t left his Washington DC apartment for five weeks, had not showered, had 132 missed calls on his phone and had put on almost 40 pounds. The floor was littered with fast food containers and a promising career as a lawyer lay in tatters. “For me, gaming was like crack cocaine,” said Vaisbery. As obsessive and compulsive behavior on the Internet makes its way to a fullblown classification as a mental health disorder, the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders … often called the bible of psychiatry … labels Internet addiction a condition worthy of further research. WebMD cites

to list wolverine. Approvals to undertake a reintroduction would be necessary from the Parks and Wildlife Commission and the State Legislature. “Historically, Colorado was home to wolverine, but due to trapping, predator control and other activities, the species was extirpated from the state. Although there are currently no documented wolverines in Colorado, the state has a substantial amount of high quality habitat, and there continues to be interest in wolverine conservation in Colorado,” according to the CPW. Prior to 2009, the last known wild wolverine in Colorado was recorded in 1919, says Matt Robbins of Colorado Parks and Wildlife. When I asked about the 1966 report, he

three children (Jill, Suzy and Dallas) very much enjoyed living in northern Colorado Springs. Jill and Suzy were students at Air Academy High School, and Dallas attended the base’s middle school. Parcells had moved his family plenty in the early stages of his coaching career, which included stops at Wichita State, Florida State and Vanderbilt. But his wife and girls were reluctant to make another move. So Parcells went to New York alone, but after eight weeks into his new job, he quit to head back to Colorado. Parcells, a lawyer by trade, landed a job with Gates Land Company out of Denver and sold real estate, bought Denver Broncos season tickets, worked as a color commentator for KRDO, and directed recreation activities (swimming and tennis outings) for members of the Country Club of Colorado. “I think it was a good time,” Parcells said of his year away from football. “I had been grinding the wheel there for 15, 16 years in a

a study of 60 adults average age 24, where researchers concluded that Internet addition was associated with mood disorders, depression, impulsive nonconformity and autism traits. Not one to wait on the rest of the world, China has become the first country to declared Web addiction a clinical disorder and has established over 400 treatment facilities. Given there are an estimated 200 million Internet users ages 15 to 35 in China, it appears the country has its work cut out. A new documentary by Shosh Shlam

checked into it, and said that in that instance, the wolverine turned out to also be an escapee from Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. “The animal was not originally native here, but was moved in from another area.” And I guess while we are talking about moving in ... In June 2009, “M56,” the moniker given to a male wolverine trapped and given an abdominal implant near Grand Teton National Park, was photographed in Rocky Mountain National Park. “CPW biologists and pilots monitored his whereabouts and determined his locations for the next several years. In addition to being photographed in the park, he was photographed near Guanella Pass in April 2012. He was last located in October 2012. It is unknown why efforts to obtain additional locations were unsuccessful – he may have left the state, or the battery in the transmitter may have died,” Robbins said. row on the collegiate level, and it kind of got things on a better perspective for me.” Thomas remembers one fall Friday night with Parcells in 1979 as the two sat in Thomas’ car waiting at a traffic light at 8th St. and Cimarron St. They were returning to KRDO after a high school football broadcast. “Bill turned to me and wondered if he had ruined his chances of getting back into pro football,” Thomas said. “I guess he didn’t.” By 1980, Parcells was ready to get back into football. Suzy graduated from Air Academy that spring and he accepted a position as the linebackers coach of the New England Patriots. A year later he was back with the Giants as an assistant coach, and was named head coach of the team in 1983. Four seasons later the Giants were Super Bowl champs for the first time. Parcells concedes that he was not well suited to be a college coach. But he does keep a close eye on the Falcons. “I’m better suited for the professional game than I probably was in college,” he said. “Recruiting is not my favorite thing. I try to keep an eye on (Air Force) and I’m really happy about their success.” And that is - as Paul Harvey would have said - “the rest of the story.”

and Hilla Medalia entitled “Web Junkie” took a look at one of the Chinese treatment centers. It’s not a pretty picture. The two filmmakers, surprisingly, were able to talk their way into Daxing Boot Camp in Beijing … a former military installation … that treats young addicts, most of whom are teenage boys. Some of the boys reported being brought to the camp by being tricked or drugged by their parents after other measures had failed to curtail their time spent on the web. According to an online movie review by A.O. Scottaug, the place is run by Dr. Tao Ran, who delivers scientifically questionable lectures wearing a gold-braidbedecked uniform. The center’s treatment methods focus on calisthenics, family discussion sessions, punitive stints in solitary confinement and electric shock therapy, which was recently banned. China’s National People’s Congress has estimated that 10 percent of the country’s Internet users younger than the age of 18 are addicted. Chinese psychologists define

being addicted as spending more than six hours a day online playing games or watching pornography, rather than working or studying. The severity of China’s Internet addiction treatment protocol hit a new low in June, when Deng Senshan, 15, was allegedly beaten to death a day after his parents dropped him off at a camp in southern Guangxi province. Deng was found vomiting and was taken to a clinic where he died. Fellow students say he was beaten by a teacher. So … next time your child or significant other won’t get off the computer, threaten to send him to China for treatment.

WATER, WATER EVERYWHERE

Crystola residents concerned about flooding By Pat Hill

phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com Water, water, everywhere and where it stops ... is Crystola, Green Mountain Falls, Chipita Park and Cascade. With the recent rainstorms in Ute Pass, landowners in Crystola are feeling like victims. In mid-July, water took out bridges, culverts and threatens at least one leach field in the area. “If more water breaches the leach field, all of that waste will go into Fountain Creek,” said Sally Clark who, with her husband Bill Clark, lives in Crystola Canyon in Teller County. Clark and her neighbors are concerned that federal authorities are planning to extend floodplain boundaries by 200 feet on either side of the creek, making insurance that much more difficult to get. “The overflow is not from the creek,” she said. “Either culverts, the bridges or any upstream mitigation failed or was never planned at all.” Marco Biswas has lost nearly 10 acres as a result of the floods that deliver sand and debris to the property. It’s his leach field that’s threatened. Biswas bought 15 acres and the home at 404 Teller County Road 21 in 1996. Until three years ago, the creek stayed within its banks, with only a small stream, a trickle, he said, running through his property. “The flow was controlled by the city’s water-purification system and the retention ponds,” Biswas said. “The flow wasn’t bad because the businesses weren’t all paved.” Today, that purification system has been moved to north Colorado 67. Biswas says that, during heavy rainfalls such as the two-day storm in mid-July, water flowing down the creek from Woodland Park meets dirt running along CR 21 at the southend of Wal-Mart. “The only way to improve the stream is not to put sand and debris into it,” he said. Biswas’s proposed solution is to pave a few more roads in the area and channel

The people in Crystola are upset about water that flows from Woodland Park past Walmart and on down to the creek by their homes. The concrete blocks serve no purpose at all. This photo was taken in early August.

While the Clarks’ property has escaped flood damage, she is organizing the neighbors into a coalition with the idea of scheduling a town-hall meeting. “I want to make people aware of what the risks are and what it can cost them financially, get them involved so that we get the proper mitigation,” she said. “If the work had been done properly to begin with, this never would have happened. So all of these people are going to be penalized and some may not recover.” Clark isn’t laying the blame entirely on Teller County or Woodland Park. “You can’t predict the weather, we all know that,” she said. In the meantime, Clark encourages her neighbors to contact local officials. “They need to tell us what we can do now to protect ourselves,” she said. “We need to take some responsibility and do a temporary fix so that we can protect our property, our animals and our families.”

GREEN MOUNTAIN FALLS

A detention pond in the vacant lot in front of Woodland Hardware is designed to hold water from a 5-year to a 100year flood. Photo by Pat Hill all of the water into a pipe-delivery system installed under CR21. “Teller County and Woodland Park need to get together — it’s

going to cost money but if they keep doing what they’ve always done, the same thing is going to happen,” he said.

Dani Hainds and her family have lived near the banks of Fountain Creek in Green Mountain Falls for 24 years. “In the last three years I’ve never seen it this bad,” she said. To date, the family has lost several trees, including a 50-foot cottonwood, because of erosion of the stream bank. “We’re losing land,” she said. Hainds acknowledges that the creek bed narrows as water flows downstream. “But it’s been like that forever,” she said. “We’re in a floodplain and we have flood insurance.” With all the devastation up and down Ute Pass, Hainds is confused about whom to call for help. While she is concerned that water from the Safeway parking lot in Woodland Park increases the flow in the creek, still it’s the amount of rainfall, she said, that’s the main culprit. “It has been wetter in the last three years — it’s climate change,” she said.

A day after the two-day rainstorm in July, the Fountain Creek bed is dry between Walmart and the Crystola Inn. Yet there is plenty of water downstream but, obviously, it didn’t come from Woodland Park, the perennial scapegoat in the ongoing controversy over water among Ute Pass communities. Photo by Pat Hill

Floods caused by many sources By Pat Hill

phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com Editor’s note: In the next few weeks, the Courier will look at water issues in Teller and El Paso Counties. We’ll also hear from officials in Teller County in the series. In the blame game fostered by the axiom that water flows downhill, Woodland Park city manager takes exception to the charge that the city is responsible for the turbulence downstream on Fountain Creek. “I’m not going to deny that the City of Woodland Park, or development in the county, has increased the volume of water, the number of gallons, but the law only requires us not to increase the flow rate,” Buttery said. Within hours of a two-day rainstorm in July, Buttery points to the dry and sandy creek bed between Walmart and the Crystola bar and grill. “That’s because the sand is capturing that moisture,” he said. “Even though we’ve had all this rain there is nothing flowing down the creek. Nothing.” Driving along Fountain Creek, Buttery looked at other tributaries on the watershed that contribute to the flooding in

Crystola. “Water is coming from a ditch line, off their property, Crystola Creek, all this hillside, houses and roads contributing to the runoff,” he said. In addition, water flowing along the side of CR 21 is from Teller County and does not originate in Woodland Park, he said. “This water is all coming from the Fountain Creek Watershed, all from the county; in one place there is a little bit of city water from Grey Horse Ranch through a detention pond.” The people in Crystola say the flow is coming from Safeway and Walmart. While Safeway has no detention pond, on the recommendation of hydraulic engineers, the flow from the asphalt is intended to get ahead of the flow from upstream. “It gets the water in front of the flood wave. I can argue both sides of that but this is what was accepted in 1997,” he said. As for Walmart, the company built a large detention facility. “All the water generated from the parking lot and rooftops goes into that pond and gets released in a

Baby Boomers Benefit From Knee Arthritis Treatments Their Parents Could Only Dream About Cutting-Edge Treatments and Technology Are Helping Knee Arthritis Sufferers Avoid Knee Replacement Surgery and Stay Active In Their 50’s, 60’s, 70’s and even 80’s

If you would like to discover a safe and effective medical treatment for knee arthritis pain and stiffness that has already helped thousands just like you, this will be the most important information you ever read. Here is why: Back in 2010, a medical clinic in Colorado Springs, CO named Osteo Relief Institute did something that would change the lives of thousands and thousands of people. They developed a knee arthritis treatment program specifically designed for the knee arthritis sufferers who not only want to relieve pain and stiffness... but also want to stay active. As patients got results... the word spread like wildfire. Now the clinic receivesan overwhelming number of new patient inquiries per

month. It seems like every knee arthritis sufferer in the area wants this treatment. Some travel as many as 3 hours to be treated by the experts at Osteo Relief Institute. But here’s where the story gets really good... for YOU Because they knew how frustrating knee arthritis is and how life changing relieving their pain was... many patients wanted to share their story with others. That’s why they are willing to travel to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida and tell their stories for a special documentary being made about Osteo Relief Institute and their knee pain treatment methods. Patients like William La Spina flew to Florida and told how he couldn’t play golf due to arthritis pain - and now after

“ I wish I had known this 5 years ago...”

“ I just thank God for this treatment”

“I’ve had trouble with my knee walking. I’m a golfer and want to play golf but I couldn’t. I made the call and went down [to the Osteo Relief Institute] and it’s the best thing I ever did. It’s just – now I can play golf, I can walk, I can climb stairs, I can do things I did many years ago”. “It’s the smartest thing I ever did. Since I’ve been going to Osteo Relief for my knees I don’t take any pills, I take no over the counter medication...” “This is a good alternative to surgery. I am so glad I went. I’m so confident I feel so good about it and I recommend it to everybody.” “Call up Osteo Relief. What have you got to lose. Have them check it out and they may help you.” “I wish I had known this five years ago.”

“I really, couldn’t hardly walk. They wanted to replace both my knees, and I did not want both my knees replaced.” “Since I had the treatment I had been able to walk, I was able to walk up the steps. I was able to bend my knee and I’m able to shop in the supermarket with the carriage, which I was never able to do all the time - now I’m able to walk down the street and able to walk in the park. I’m able to even lift things and go up the steps which is a miracle. I just thank God for the treatment.” “It made me feel like a new woman. It was amazing.” ”I can’t thank that doctor and staff enough for what they had done for me. I would tell anyone who has gone through what I have to take the step.” ”I wish I’d known about this option years ago.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor: For well over 200 years now when this fine country of ours was in its infancy stages, journalists were hammering out stories on parchment newspapers. The most famous of statesmen, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and others too numerous to list believed in getting the word out to the colonists. Of greater importance was ensuring that their accounts of the day were fair, accurate, and free from the influence or pressure of outside sources. It was of the utmost importance to these young journalists that they maintained their personal integrity and that of their newspapers. My challenge to you and to your newspaper is that considering the current political climate in Teller County, you find the conviction and courage to do the same. In the July 30th edition of the Pikes Peak Courier View, Pat Hill wrote an article based on a one-on-one interview with Mr. Mark Manriquez, candidate for Sheriff. In reading Ms. Hills article, I couldn’t help but wonder “if Mr. Manriquez has the ability to sit and answer direct questions from a reporter, why was it the Mr. Ensminger was unable to do the same? Why, rather than dealing with the press directly, did he feel the need to have a press secretary respond for him? I will let the readers draw their own conclusions, just as I’ve drawn mine. What I find most disturbing from Ms. Hill’s article, were the references to Sheriff Ensminger’s “law enforcement” experience.” During the years 1977 thru 1979 a gentleman speaking on “behalf of the Sheriff” states that Mr. Ensminger worked for the Anaheim Police Department in the capacity of “reserve officer.” Not taking away from any contribution Mr. Ensminger may have made to the City of Anaheim, but reserve officers are typically not “front line staff.” They assist and they augment when needed. During the years 1979 thru 1982, Mr. Ensminger worked for the City of Imperial Beach

Police Department. As a young Navy man, I served “up the road” at the Naval Station, San Diego. During those years, the Imperial Beach PD was known for being corrupt, abusive, and almost driving to city to its knees, placing it on the brink of bankruptcy. As to avoid total collapse, the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department stepped in and assumed all law enforcement services. All but a handful of officers were terminated. Apparently, then Officer Ensminger was retained. In the years that followed, Deputy Ensminger worked for the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office from 1982 thru 1986. His tenure in San Diego was plagued by a Federal Violation of Civil Rights lawsuit, several years of light duty resulting from injuries he sustained during an excessive use of force incident (in connection with the aforementioned lawsuit). Deputy Ensminger would later be medically retired from the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department. It can be argued that from 1977 thru 1986 Mike Ensminger was a uniformed law enforcement officer of “some capacity.” What is extremely troubling, and what would anger present, past, retired, as well as the families of any “fallen” law enforcement officer is suggesting that “teaching criminal justice” from 1988 thru 2010,” in any way, shape or form equals law enforcement experience. Any man or woman who wears a badge and puts their lives on the line “daily” for the citizens they have sworn to “protect and serve,” would be angered at the notion. The suggestion by Mr. Mike Perini that the majority of Sheriff Mike Ensminger’s experience was in a classroom is insulting. It insults every man and woman that ever wore a uniform. Of equal importance, it insults the intelligence of the people of Teller County and the readers of Pat Hill’s paper at large. The facts speak for it self. The mounting costs associated with litigation, the skyrocketing and almost incomprehensible attrition rate, the level of mistrust

that the citizens hold for the Sheriff’s Office, not to mention “what appears” to be a corrupt and symbiotic relationship between the BOCC and the TCSO, speaks for itself. I therefore challenge the Pikes Peak Courier View to do as Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson has done and that is “get the word out, and do so in a fair and accurate manner, free from outside influence and pressure.” Respectfully Submitted: W. Lubliner, U.S. Navy (Ret.) Dear Editor: Thomas Jefferson once said that “Integrity is the first chapter in the book of wisdom.” This is exemplified in the way we all, as citizens of this county, expect the Teller County Sheriff’s Office to serve. I have been fortunate to know our current Sheriff Mike Ensminger and his team of dedicated professionals. It’s one thing to say, “I want to be a leader of law enforcement in this county,” versus making a personal investment as Mike has into the welfare and well being of this community. I know about investment in safety of our lives and property having served 30plus years in the defense of our nation. It is this same level of investment that defines Ensminger. He has molded his administration as “Servant Based Leadership.” Here are just a few examples of our sheriff’s willingness to participate with community partners. There are many more: • The Greater Woodland Park Chamber of Commerce • Woodland Park Community Church • Little Chapel of the Hills Food Pantry The sheriff represents the voice of this county by serving on the Colorado State DUI Task force, and standing up at the State Legislature in protection of our 2nd Amendment rights. Mike has appeared in front of the Colorado Senate in opposition of the proposed gun legislation. He has also been a guest on talk radio shows, both locally and nationally, fighting the push for unreasonable and non-enforceable gun laws. In case readers do not know, Mike was voted by the other sheriffs of this state to serve on the County Sheriffs of Colorado’s Executive Board of Directors. The governor directly appointed Mike to serve on the State Child Fatality Review Board, of which the benefits directly reach Teller County as well. The law enforcement success rate under Mike’s leadership is more than evident. Those successes include the nullification of the burglary spree of 2011, the safe and successful apprehension of the Lutheran Valley Ranch active shooter, the strategic response to our arson fires of 2012, the apprehension and prosecution of the counterfeiting ring of 2013, the pursuit and apprehension of a military member escapee, and the successful apprehension and prosecution of an offender charged with “sexual assault on a child by a person in a position of trust,” resulting in a 56-count conviction, to name a few. The economic status of the sheriff’s office is the best it has been in many years. Look at the facts: • The monthly income of our jail has increased by 70% • Through conservative spending, the budgetary level has been maintained due to successful fundraising for other immediate needs of the office. The Rev. Chuck Swindoll once said “critics’ demoralize while leaders encourage.” I believe this also to be true of all law enforcement leaders across this nation, and in particular our own sheriff. With this standard in mind, Mike has developed an office based leadership council in which his team is encouraged to lend a voice to the overall daily operations and procedures in safeguarding our citizens in Teller County. Additionally, he has developed an Honorary Deputy Sheriff’s Association whose members are encouraged to be community-based advisers and well as lending expertise in fundraising endeavors. Lastly, in my military days, and now as a small-business owner, learning from the past and planning for the future by focusing on today, is a gold standard for success. This standard is exemplified within the sheriff’s office and is a hallmark of Sheriff Mike Ensminger’s leadership. I encourage everyone to get out and vote for those servant leaders, like Mike Ensminger, who live to lead by encouragement, who have made an investment into our community, and are willing to stay on the high road of success to enhance the

quality of life for all who reside in Teller County. Michael B. Perini, Colonel, USAF-Retired Dear Editor: On Saturday, July 26, big and little hearts turned out for the Third Annual Coach D Day — A Day to Make a Difference. This fundraiser benefits the annual scholarship program in memory of Richard “Coach D” Dispenza. Coach D was a son, brother, friend, teacher, mentor and coach who, after his unexpected death the summer of 2011, left a tremendous void in our community and beyond. To honor his legacy and his commitment to the youth in the Pikes Peak Region, this 501 (c)(3) scholarship foundation was established to recognize young adults who are making a difference in their communities through selfless dedication, commitment, and perseverance. This yearly event, which is held the last Saturday in July, helps to keep his legacy alive in the hearts of our youth. We’d like to thank everyone who participated, volunteered, and donated money, prizes, supplies and equipment to help make this year’s event a tremendous success — especially the student volunteers led by Ms. Sara Lee; Mallett Excavating; Shamrock Foods; Pikes Peak Regional Hospital; Paradox Beer Company; McGinty’s Wood Oven Pub; Schommer Construction; Gold Hill Theatres; Powell Chiropractic and Fitness Center; Mother Bear Massage Therapy; Café Leo; Shining Mountain Golf Club; David and Tamara Buttery; WP Chamber of Commerce; City of Woodland Park-Parks & Recreation; and WP-RE 2 School District. At the end of the day, more than $5,000 was raised from the day’s three-part event which included a golf tournament, a character-building camp for kids and a community-wide spaghetti luncheon and prize giveaway. Please “save the date” — Saturday, July 25, 2015 — for next year’s Coach D Day and plan on making a difference! Paula & Neil Levy Coach D Day Event Coordinators Dear Editor: Thursday’s Meet and Greet in Cripple Creek was truly impressive. Mark Manriquez demonstrated and discussed expertly prepared graphic charts, which outlined four primary areas wherein the current sheriff is falling short. I personally appreciated being shown facts absent all attacks, gossip, or innuendo. The first eye-opening fact concerns excessive employee turnover and how that issue is connected to faulty use of human resource and what the problem is costing the taxpayer. The second eye opener is the incredulous foolishness surrounding costly lawsuits that the current sheriff has allowed to fester at the expense of the taxpayer. The third eye opener is Ensminger’s utterly unprofessional mis-use of SWAT at the cost of public safety. And the fourth disgrace being perpetrated against the taxpayer is the Enron style accounting surrounding the operation of our County Jail which Ensminger may have somewhat inherited inasmuch as the problem existed prior to 2010, however Ensminger has had nearly four years to get it on the right track but has failed to do so.Attendees were not just shown the failings of the current sheriff’s performance; we were shown specific and intelligent solutions to each of the current shortcomings. It is not all about what Ensminger is doing wrong; it is all about what Mark Manriquez will actually do right and how Mark Manriquez will get it done. I believe two things: Mike has had four years in which he has shown the taxpayer that his management skills are lacking; and Mark is proving that his management skills are based on genuine not invented experience which gives Mark superior skill and ability over Mike. When Mark becomes our new sheriff, for the first time in a long, long time I am confident that we may once again be able to trust and respect our local law enforcement. The only thing missing from the meet and greet was a reporter from The Courier. Everyone in this community owes it to themselves to attend one of Mark’s enlightening events, because Mark Manriquez is a 6-star candidate and he deserves to be wearing that very star. Jineen McWherter Dear Editor: We wanted to take this opportunity Letters continues on Page 16

Mayor’s Cup a success!

At this point in the annual Mayor’s Cup race, all the participants look relatively happy and calm. The race is sponsored by the Woodland Park Parks and Recreation Department.

By Pat Hill

phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com Woodland Park runners showed up with energy and spirit Aug. 9 to participate in the 25th-annual Mayor’s Cup race. The star attraction, in addition to the finishers, was Prentis Porter, the race’s founding mayor. This year, Porter ran the .5 mile with his 8-year-old granddaughter Susie. To honor his launching of the annual event, Porter was given the No. 1 T-shirt. A fundraiser for the Woodland Park Parks and Recreation Department, the proceeds go toward the youth sports programs. “As always, it was a beautiful day and fun was had by all!” said Cindy Keating, the department’s executive director.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Continued from Page 14

to thank and commend the first responders from the Mountain Communities Fire Department/Westcreek, the EMTs from Ute Pass Regional Ambulance District/ Woodland Park and the crew of Flight for Life for their collective professionalism in their handling of an emergency stabilization and transport of Charlie Ghist, as a result of a critical horse and rider accident on Aug. 2. From a remote location in southwest Douglas County it took less than 30 minutes from the time of the accident for these heroes to stabilize and lift off for the hospital. That couldn’t have happened any faster even in the middle of town. We want everyone to know many of these folks are unpaid volunteers who train and work long hours to become proficient at what they do. Just as you thank our veterans for what they do, please thank our local emergency

Incline closes for repairs, expected to reopen in December Hiking prohibited during construction, violations ticketed, fined By Rob Carrigan

rcarrigan@colorado communitymedia.com The Incline closed Monday, Aug. 18, and will continue to be closed for about four months as repair workers begin on a $1,586,486 improvement project. Construction is expected to be completed in December. The project, according to city officials has four major goals: improved safety, enhanced user experience, long-term sustainability of the trail and increased accessibility. Work on the Incline will include repair and replacement of damaged retaining walls, cleanup of rebar and loose debris, construction of additional drainage structures, stabilization of existing ties and stabilization of surrounding slopes. The new drainage structures will significantly reduce the velocity of water, a critical factor in reducing erosion and ensuring the Incline’s long-term sustainability. Funding for the project comes from the following sources: • FEMA -$556,486 • Great Outdoors Colorado Grant $350,000 • Colorado Springs Utilities - $250,000 • State Trails Grant - $200,000 • Colorado Springs CTF Program - $80,000 • Incline Friends - $60,000 • Colorado Springs TOPS Program

-$50,000 • Manitou springs Barr Parking Lot Fund - $40,000 Area officials note that during construction, Barr Trail, Ute Indian Trail, Interman Trail, Red Mountain Trail, and the COG Railway will remain open in their entirety. “These facilities are within walking distance of the Incline and utilize the community shuttle stop as the incline. Manitou springs will continue to operate its free community shuttle with a drop off location at the Iron Springs Chateau,” says a joint release from Manitou springs and Colorado Springs. Hiking the Incline during construction will be prohibited for safety reasons. “The Incline will be closed while the the trail is under construction. While the construction is underway, equipment will be in use and the hiking surface will be impacted. Staging of materials will be located at the base of the Incline. Please give construction crews a break and resit the urge to to sneak up the Incline while no one is looking,” releases from the city say. “Citations will be issued for anyone trespassing on the Incline during construction. The citation will be $100. Please adhere to the closure or you will be ticketed,” city officials said. History of the Mt. Manitou Incline Under the ownership of Dr. Newton Brumback, the Manitou Incline was originally constructed as a one-mile cable tram for the purpose of providing access to water tanks at the top of the mountain that would provide gravity-fed water pressure to the cities of Manitou Springs and Colorado Springs.

Originally constructed as one-mile cable tram to service water tanks, it became a tourist attraction shortly after its opening in 1907. Photos by Rob Carrigan Shortly after its completion in 1907, the tram was opened as a tourist attraction. The Incline boasted a 16-minute ride to “scenic splendors” and ten miles of hiking trails in Mt. Manitou Park, and claimed to be the “longest and highest incline on the globe.” The Incline’s 2,741 steps make up one of the most challenging and popular recreation sites in the nation. The trail is a one-mile ascent with an elevation gain of 2,000 feet, and the average grade is 43 percent, reaching 68 percent at the steepest point. Nearly 20 years of unmanaged trespass and use of the Incline have resulted in significant erosion on the mountainside and dangerous trail conditions. In 2010, the three property owners - Colorado Springs Utilities, the COG Railway, and the US Forest Service — together with the cities of Colorado Springs and Manitou Springs, agreed that serious safety and liability concerns, including the trail’s condition and impact on nearby neighborhoods, called for development of a Site Development and Management Plan to address these issues, allow the Incline to open for legal use and to capitalize on the Incline’s benefits.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF AUG 18, 2014

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) A chaotic atmosphere taxes the patience of the Aries Lamb, who prefers to deal with a more orderly environment. Best advice: Stay out of the situation until things settle. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Tension runs high in both personal and workplace relationships. This can make it difficult to get your message across. Best to wait until you have a more receptive audience. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) This is a good time to take a break from your busy schedule to plan for some well-deserved socializing. You could get news about an important personal matter by the week’s end.

GALLERY OF GAMES

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) An offer of help could come just when you seem to need it. But be careful about saying yes to anything that might have conditions attached that could cause problems down the line. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Sometimes a workplace colleague can’t be charmed into supporting the Lion’s position. That’s when it’s time to shift tactics and overwhelm the doubter with the facts. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) You continue to earn respect for your efforts to help someone close to you stand up to a bully. But be careful that in pushing this matter you don’t start to do some bullying yourself. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Don’t ask others if they think you’re up to a new responsibility. Having faith in your own abilities is the key to dealing with a challenge. P.S.: That “private” matter needs your attention. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) This is a good time to use that Scorpian creativity to come up with something special that will help get your derailed career plans back on track and headed in the right direction. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) While change is favored, it could be a good idea to carefully weigh the possible fallout as well as the benefits of any moves before you make them. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) The Goat continues to create a stir by following his or her own path. Just be sure you keep your focus straight and avoid any distractions that could cause you to make a misstep. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A colleague’s demands seem out of line. But before reacting one way or another, talk things out and see how you might resolve the problem and avoid future misunderstandings. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) A personal matter appears to be making more demands on your time than you feel you’re ready to give. See if some compromise can be reached before things get too dicey.

Plenty of Pro Challenge coverage on television Woodland Park and Teller County will get world-wide attention By Danny Summers

dsummers@colorado communitymedia.com Bicycle racing fans in the Pikes Peak region and around the world will have several ways to catch all the action of the 2014 USA Pro Challenge professional cycling race, which takes place Aug. 18-24. With nearly 30 hours of coverage from NBC Sports Group and Universal Sports Network, and daily live streaming on the Tour Tracker, the coverage will feature

some of the highest climbs in professional cycling and jaw-dropping scenery. The USA Pro Challenge is more accessible than ever before, giving spectators a front row seat to the race from the comfort of their home or office. The 550-mile international professional cycling race started in Aspen and will take the riders and spectators through 10 official host cities, as well as many others, on the way to the exhilarating finish in downtown Denver. Featuring some of the best riders in the sport of cycling, the race comes on the heels of the 2014 Tour de France. “Each year we have more than one million live spectators at the USA Pro Challenge, and while that is the best way to watch the race, we want to be sure all our fans have a chance to check out the

action and excitement of professional racing in Colorado,” said Shawn Hunter, CEO of the Pro Challenge. “In 2014 we have an unprecedented amount of TV coverage through NBC Sports Group and Universal Sports Network, and we know our fans are really going to appreciate the various viewing options.” Television crews will be in Colorado Springs for Stage 4 of the event on Aug. 21. Stage 5 will begin in Woodland Park on Aug. 22. The final stage of the race will air live on both NBC and NBCSN on Sunday, Aug. 24.

Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen, the voices of cycling, will call the race action on site in Colorado for NBC Sports Group’s coverage, joined by analyst Christian Vande Velde and reporter Steve Schlanger. For the final two stages of the race, `Inside-the-Race’ correspondent Steve Porino will offer updates on race situations from aboard a motorcycle on the course. In addition, NBC Sports Group’s coverage will include highlights from cameras positioned on bikes, offering viewers another unique perspective of the course.

Woodland Park and Cripple Creek-Victor gearing up for fall prep sports season Cripple Creek opens its football season on Aug. 23 By Danny Summers dsummers@colorado communitymedia.com Believe or not, but the fall prep sports season is underway in Teller County.

controlled rate to the creek,” Buttery said. However, a key issue in the situation is the width of the creek bed, which, between Walmart and the Crystola bar is nearly 50 feet wide. “Look at how much space there is for the water to flow,” he said. “As we get closer to Green Mountain Falls the creek is constricted. Many of the homeowners built their houses close to a little tiny creek. You can’t cram a 50-year storm into a one-year channel.” As the creek flows toward Green Mountain Falls, through Pinecrest Stables, the bed narrows even more. “None of this water is from Woodland Park because it just hasn’t made it here yet. It will eventually get here but it’s not just Woodland Park,” he said. “Water is coming from the hillsides of the forest, from the other side of the road, in a beaver slide. When it rains hard up in the mountains water comes flying down these hills because they’re so steep.”

THINGS Requirements for Woodland TO DO Park detention stringent By Pat Hill

phill@colorado communitymedia.com The city of Woodland Park requires that detention facilities hold water volume from the five-year and 100-year storms. “We have stringent requirements in the city, stronger than anybody else in the region,” said city manager David Buttery. “Most cities only require detaining the 100-year storm.” The detention-facility system near Woodland Hardware illustrates the concept. “There are two holes, a bottom hole and a top hole and a grate on the top,” he said. “So there are tons of volume that can be stored and it can only release at the flow rate of the fiveyear or 100-year storm.”

New subdivisions, for instance, can’t exceed the historic flow rate. “We’re good upstream neighbors; we realize that with the steep terrain we needed to do more, which gives our downstream neighbors significantly more protection.” Buttery said. In addition to surface detention ponds, some developments such as Park State Bank & Trust use underground storage systems for detention. In 1994, the city initiated a stormwater capital fee for all new building projects, from single-family homes to subdivisions. “That’s why I’m not a big fan of joining this regional stormwater task force because we’re being good stewards already,” Buttery said. “With collected fee we have done many projects on Fountain Creek.”

School transparency issue heads to ballot Collective bargaining negotiations could be forced into public light By Vic Vela

An effort to require school boards to open up collective bargaining negotiations to the public has earned a place on the November ballot. The Secretary of State’s Office confirmed Aug. 13 that Initiative 124 earned enough valid petition signatures to qualify. If voters approve, the measure would require school boards to conduct meetings that involve collective bargaining or employment contract negotiations to take place in public. Similar efforts over the years have failed at the legislative level. John Caldera of the Independence Institute, the Libertarian-leaning think tank that is behind the initiative, said the measure is about providing more transparency to the school budget process. “The only people who love closed-door meetings are the ones who are behind the closed doors,” Caldera said. Personnel costs make up the lion’s share of school district budgets and Caldera said that it’s only fair for taxpayers to know how their money is being spent at their neighborhood schools. “Imagine if the Joint Budget Committee (the legislative group responsible for putting together the annual state budget) was closed-door and nobody could go in there to see how the largest part of Colorado’s budget is spent,” Caldera said. “People would be rightfully indignant.” But those who oppose the measure ar-

gue that opening up the negotiation process to the public would have an adverse impact on negotiations. And what works best for one school district isn’t necessarily a good fit at another. “When we have some of these issues that seem to be repeated every time, we think of a one-size-fits-all solution,” said Bruce Caughey, executive director for the Colorado Association of School Executives. “It doesn’t fit for every community. It attacks the autonomy of local school boards.” Caughey said that opening up contract talks to the public would have “a chilling effect on conversations between teachers and school board members.” Caughey also said that, if passed, the measure would lead to sensitive matters being aired for the public to see, a confidentiality issue that could be “ripe” for litigation. “The last thing we need to do now is drain money out of instruction because of increased cost in litigation,” he said. The initiative comes at a time when relations between unions and school boards are tense in some districts. That’s especially true in Douglas and Jefferson Counties, where reform candidates swept into power last year, putting the clamps on union power in those school districts. That’s one of the reasons why Caughey is concerned about opening up a delicate process that he believes already has enough built-in transparency. “This is just one more measure that has the potential of increased tension,” he said. But initiative backers aren’t persuaded by that argument. “The people who dislike this are the parties in the smoky back room,” Caldera said. “They will all hate it because they don’t want the accountability.”
