Commissioners say no to ‘68’ By Pat Hill
phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com With only a few weeks away from the November election, Teller County commissioners are sounding off on Amendment 68. “This would have a devastating effect on the two existing gaming communities, Teller and Gilpin counties, if this measure passed,” said Marc Dettenrieder at the commissioners’ meeting Sept. 11. If approved by voters, the amendment would allow horse-racing tracks in Arapahoe, Pueblo and Mesa counties. In addition to betting on the races, gamblers could play casino-style games. “They could add
slot machines, craps, the full gamut. So we have a keen eye on that right now,” Dettenrieder said. Action 22, a lobbying group of 22 southern Colorado counties, including Teller, passed a resolution recently opposing the amendment. “We’re pleased with that outcome; it’s very important,” Dettenrieder said. As well, the Colorado Municipal League has formally opposed the ballot measure. “We’re pleased to see that,” he said. Supporters of the measure have said that 34 percent of the adjusted gross proceeds would support K-12 schools in Colorado.

Traditional Oktoberfest with a Rocky Mountain twist By Norma Engelberg Contributing writer
T
he Greater Woodland Park Chamber of Commerce once again presents its Rocky Mountain Oktoberfest Plus 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sept. 20-21 at the Ute Pass Cultural Center and the Midland Pavilion on The Green. This is the chamber’s biggest fundraiser of the year. It starts with the National Anthem at 11 on Saturday. Two minutes later the ceremonial keg will be tapped by Woodland Park Mayor Neil Levy and Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Co.’s community affairs director Jane Mannon and then two-days of fun begins. A combination of traditional Oktoberfest music and food and local alternatives, the Rocky Mountain Oktoberfest Plus offers a good time for the entire family. There are childrens’ activities in-
cluding a climbing wall, bounce house, face painting and a toddler zone for the youngest participants. For grownups, there’s traditional German music and a dance floor inside the cultural center and jazz, rock and country on the Pavilion stage. “I love to watch the people,” said chamber president Debbie Miller. “Some of them come in costume. They bring their kids inside to dance and make memories.” Food and drink are always a big part of Oktoberfest. This year’s traditional menu includes German wine and beer, brats and sauerkraut, pork schnitzel and German potato salad. America alternatives include BBQ beef brisket, Dino legs, funnel cakes, curly fries, kettle corn, cotton candy and root beer and other soft drinks. The festivities also include at least 29 vendors offering merchandise and information. Woodland Park has a special connection to the military and the soldiers stationed at Fort Carson. “Every year we go out the fort to promote Oktoberfest,” Miller said. “They tell us they’ve

‘She was a fighter’ Dee Breitenfeld dies By Pat Hill
phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com The loss is palpable, an empty spot in the hearts of people who loved and revered Dee Breitenfeld who died Sept. 7. She was 77. “It has just been heartbreaking,” said Marion Vance, fellow volunteer with Teller Historic Environmental Coalition. “I saw her bounce back so many times.” Known for her wry sense of humor, an uncanny ability to ignore things that hurt, the need for a cane, for instance, Breitenfeld defied the odds for more than three years. Breast-cancer survivor only to face a diagnosis of terminal pancreatic cancer, Breitenfeld kept up her active schedule. “She just beat the thing back,” Vance said. Vance recalls Breitenfeld’s energy for preserving history, as a member of the coalition, the Ute Pass Historical Society, Teller County Historic Advisory Board and the county’s Centennial Committee. “In so many ways Dee was the heart of the volunteer community,” Vance said. “She really had a long-term creative vision.” Breitenfeld helped develop the text for the coalition’s mobile app. Recently, Vance, with the coalition’s chairman, Dave Martinek, delivered a surprise, that the app would be dedicated to Breitenfeld. “It brought tears to her eyes,” Vance said. As chairman of the restoration project for the Midland Depot at Divide, Martinek credits Breitenfeld for her inspiration. “I consider her a mentor,” he said. “We’ve lost a veritable library of historical information locked up in that head of hers.” Martinek recalls Breitenfeld’s knee surgeries, the operations, the chemotherapy, the diminishing capacity. “She accepted her affliction with such nonchalance that you wondered when she got home at night and crawled up in bed if she had the same attitude as she presented to the public about what was happening her,” he said. While mourning the loss, Betty Merchant recalls the good times. “We took lots of fishing trips – went camping and fishing, all across the Continental Divide,” she said.
Dee Breitenfeld, 77, died Sept. 7 after a long battle with cancer. File photo Merchant accompanied her friend on traveling tours, where they sold books for the Historical Society at craft fairs and festivals. “She was a social butterfly – she’d be out socializing and I’d run the booth,” she said. “But that was Dee.” Their last appearance together was Aug. 2 where they sold books at the land office
in Green Mountain Falls during Bronc Day. “She was in bad shape,” Merchant said. “But we had a good time – she was a fighter.” Passionate about preserving the past by treasuring the present, Breitenfeld collected stories. “She helped get oral history from people before they died,” said Donna
Finicle, president of the historical society. “These are priceless stories from the oldtimers. We were able to get her oral history in the last year of her life, too.” Judy Perkins, who is on the staff at the society’s office in Woodland Park, relied on Breitenfeld’s memory for facts. “She was always here – like magic – when somebody came in and I didn’t know the answer to a question,” Perkins said. She helped make the community special, said Jan Pettit, Ute Pass historian. “She just loved the area and showed up for everything,” Pettit said. “I knew something was wrong when she didn’t come to the ice cream social in Cascade at the end of July. I just had a feeling.” Like the others, Pettit praises her friend’s energy and spirit. “I don’t think anybody who ever knew her didn’t love her at first sight,” she said. “I did.” Recognized for her commitment to historic preservation, Breitenfeld received the Centennial Award in 2012 at the Teller County Cares ceremony. She accepted the honor on a blustery day in Cripple Creek, obviously suffering the effects of her illness. “We are so sorry to hear about the passing of one of our community’s stars,” said Lisa Noble, coordinator of Gold Belt Build a Generation, which co-sponsors the event. In an interview with The Courier newspaper in March 2013, Breitenfeld explains her energy. “I think God isn’t finished with me yet,” she said. “I don’t know what God has in mind for me but it’s kind of interesting.” Mary Ann Davis, who has written a history of Green Mountain Falls, shared a passion for preservation with Breitenfeld. Davis remarked on her friend’s resilience. “One of the things that kept her going was her garden,” Davis said. Breitenfeld’s death was publicly noted by Teller County Commissioner Marc Dettenrieder. “We thank her for her service over nearly a quarter of a century,” he said at the meeting Sept. 11. With her death, Breitenfeld has left a legacy. “It’s amazing how many people she touched,” Martinek said.

Ute Indian Trail dedicated By Pat Hill
phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com As fog lingered on the mountain and morning clouds gave way to sunny skies, the dedication ceremony of a three-mile segment of Ute Pass Regional Trail was in a glorious setting. More than 70 people attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony Sept. 6 at the interpretive loop near Long’s Ranch Road, on a mountain top above U.S Highway 24 east of Cascade. The participants were bused to the entrance and either walked or rode in a four-wheel drive vehicle to the site. Officials from El Paso County hosted the ceremony that paid tribute to the Native American influence of the Southern and Northern Ute tribes. Representatives of both tribes, in addition to the Colorado Springs Indian Center, highlighted the sacred nature of the land. “We’re really teaching people about Ute Pass in addition to providing recreational opportunities,” said Tim Wolken, the county’s director of community development services. El Paso County commissioner Sallie Clark recognized the contribution to the project of former mayor of Green Mountain Falls and vice-president of the American Discovery Trail, who was in the audience. “Dick Bratton was one of the catalysts and driving force behind the Ute Pass Regional Trail project,” Clark said. “Dick chairs a variety of local trails committees – we want to thank Dick Bratton.” The three-mile segment is a link to the larger system. “El Paso County constructed the first section in 2003, which links Green Mountain Falls to Ute Pass Elementary School in Chipita Park,” said Jason Meyer, the county’s park planner. The second section, completed in 2005, connects the west side of Green Mountain Falls to the line between El Paso and Teller counties. The two segments connect on Ute Pass Avenue through Green Mountain Falls.
Far above U.S. Highway 24, participants in the dedication ceremony get a history lesson about the Native-American influence on the area – before the ribbon cutting that officially launched the three-mile segment of the trail that is accessed from Manitou Springs. Photos by Pat Hill “With completion of this segment, the Ute Indian Trail, the county is one step closer to completing the trail from Manitou Springs to the Teller County line,” Meyer said. In part, the project was funded with a $120,000 grant from the Colorado Parks and Wildlife. The trail is now only accessed from Manitou Springs, near the Incline. Last week, Bratton provided a perspective on the project.
“It’s been a long wait! Ute Pass Historical Society began efforts to preserve the history of the trail 38 years ago when Jan Pettit produced a map of the Ute Indian Trail and a published ‘A Quick History of Ute Pass.’” Eighteen years ago, members of the Ute Pass Corridor Trails Committee started provided guided hikes along the original trail route. Both organizations helped El Paso County Parks write successful grant requests for construction funding
and donated matching funds. Both organizations also did extensive research to provide accurate history for five large interpretive panels installed along the trail. Pettit provided years of research materials. Members of the research committee were Donna Finicle, George Parkhurst, Dick Bratton, Karla Schweitzer, Jan Pettit, Dee Breitenfeld, Paul Loyd, and Victor Wells

Governor’s task force will tackle fracking Beauprez says panel seeking solutions will hurt drilling By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Gov. John Hickenlooper on Sept. 9 announced the formation of a task force that will be charged with finding legislative solutions to issues surrounding hydraulic fracturing. The 19-person commission is made up a broad cross-section of members representing various interests, all of whom will try to craft recommendations for lawmakers on issues that have yet yield compromises. Hickenlooper told reporters during a Capitol press conference that he understands the weight of issues surrounding oil and gas drilling and the importance of the members coming together to find solutions.
“I think this is one of the most important issues I’ve ever worked on in my 12 years of public service,” the Democratic governor said. A primary area of focus for the commission will be to find solutions regarding how much control local communities have over fracking — the process by which water, sand and chemicals are blasted deep underground to free up trapped oil and gas. The lack of legislative solutions has resulted in several Colorado communities taking matters into their own hands regarding local control issues. A handful of cities have at one point voted to restrict or ban fracking, which has led to court battles that continue to play out. The task force was born from a compromise that Hickenlooper struck with Democratic U.S. Rep. Jared Polis in August that kept Polis-backed anti-fracking measures Fracking continues on Page 4

from appearing on the November ballot. Hickenlooper said those concerned about the economic impact of the ballot measures “breathed a communal sigh of relief” when the compromise was reached. The initiatives would have essentially crippled an industry that pumps millions of dollars into the state’s economy. “Now it’s just a matter of rolling up our sleeves,” Hickenlooper said. The governor said that his office re-

ceived hundreds of applicants to join the task force and that he feels good about the commission’s makeup. “We wanted to have many different selfinterests represented here,” he said. The task force will consist of members representing the industries of oil and gas, agriculture and home builders. Conservation groups will also be represented, as well as local governments. The commission will be chaired by La Plata County Commissioner Gwen Lachelt and XTO Energy president Randy Cleveland. The task force’s creation was greeted with optimism by groups representing var-

Colorado Oil and Gas Commission President Tisha Schuller said she “hopes the task force provides information and insight into what is already a robust regulatory system with a strong role for local governments.” Pete Maysmith of Conservation Colorado said Coloradans are “eager for solutions” on issues surrounding oil and gas drilling. “Colorado is a fantastic place to live and raise a family,” Maysmith said in an emailed statement. “We cannot let this oil boom derail the Colorado dream and unique quality of life.”

Republican gubernatorial hopeful Bob Beauprez does not share those sentiments. Beauprez has coined the task force the “Polis Commission,” a body that will produce recommendations that will bury the oil and gas industry with more regulations, he said. “The creation of this panel will, unfortunately, accomplish little beyond enabling an extremist element that wants to stop oil and gas production in Colorado,” Beauprez said. The governor’s office expects the commission to meet “immediately,” with the expectation that it will provide recommendations to the Legislature by March.

Ready or not, the future is here PPWFC hosts State of the Workforce By Pat Hill
phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Pikes Peak Workforce Investment Board hosted more than 200 business people and public officials in the first annual State of the Workforce Sept. 5 at Library 21c in Colorado Springs. The keynote speaker, Thomas Frey, futurist and executive director of the DaVinci Institute, drew laughs with his predictions of products that will provide jobs in the future. For instance, a biometric coffee pot knows how much caffeine one should have. Smart homes, door locks, chairs and pet doors respond to the needs of the user while electronic menus are tailored to the diner’s tastes. These types of jobs will replace, in part, what Frey predicts are the loss of 2 billion jobs. “Most industries today are in the second half of the bell curve,” Frey said. “Most of the big profitable industries that are making the most money are on the downhill side - they’re being asked to do more with less on a regular basis.” The theme of the day was the future. “Over the last program year the Pikes Peak Workforce Center refocused its mission and vision to align our services with the future workforce,” said Dana Barton, director of business relations and employment development. In the meantime, the workforce center, which has 52 employees and offices in El Paso and Teller counties, served 62,204 job seekers and provided employment resources to more than 1,750 employers last year, Barton said. The center hosted 127 customized hiring events attended by 3,341 candidates, 26 percent of those were offered jobs. Last year, 40 area employers benefited from grant funding tied to on-the-job training. “These employers received a wage reimbursement of up to 90 percent to offset the cost of training,” Barton said. With all the good news and statistics, a talk by Charlie Whelan, the center’s director and chief executive officer, was compassionate and penetrating: “What really motivates and inspires us are the people, the lives that we touch every day. We witness the despair, the dire straits and lost hope that weigh so heavily on many of our customers. We spend half of our adult lives working. Work defines
Young people enrolled in the Workforce Investment Act Program, in conjunction, with Concrete Couch, created the mural, ”The Future is Now,” which will hang in the Pikes Peak Workforce Center’s main office on Garden of the Gods Road in Colorado Springs. Photo by Pat Hill who we are. When people lose jobs they sometimes lose themselves. “At the Workforce Center we get wonderful joy when someone finds work. We have a tradition where we celebrate with the ringing of the Gong. When someone gets a job we make an announcement and the entire staff moves into a room called the `Career Center’ and we honor the celebrant and let them tell their story. Recently we had a gong event with a girl named Maxine.” After nearly eight months of looking for work, Maxine attended a hiring event at the workforce center and was hired. “It’s moments like these that just light our fire and make us want to come back every day,” Whelan said.

Lawmakers react to Obama’s ISIS speech Udall digs in heels about requirement for congressional approval By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Colorado’s congressional delegation offered various responses to President Obama’s prime time address on Sept. 10, where he laid out a plan to defeat Islamic terrorists. It’s an issue that had already been playing out in the state’s U.S. Senate race, on the heels of comments made by Democratic Sen. Mark Udall during a recent debate. Obama told the nation that the U.S. will expand its air campaign against the Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS), a militant organiReport zation that has taken over large swaths of northern and western Iraq and has also been responsible for numerous brutal killings. The president said the U.S. will up its bombing effort in Syria as part of a “relentless effort” to take out the terrorist group. The president said the U.S. will not be alone in working toward dismantling the group and that the effort will be born of a “broad coalition” to defeat the terrorists. “Our objective is clear,” said Obama. “We will degrade and ultimately destroy (ISIS) through a comprehensive and sustained counter-terrorism strategy.” As expected, Colorado’s congressional delegation offered various viewpoints on the president’s address. The most interesting of those came from Udall. Udall distanced himself from Obama by saying the president must first receive approval from Congress to act on his proposed military actions. “The American people must be assured that we are not pursuing another open-ended conflict in the Middle East, and I will not give this president — or any other president — a blank check to begin another land war in Iraq,” Udall said in an emailed statement. Udall - who is a member of the Senate’s Armed Services and Intelligence Committees - continued by saying that he would “demand that the administration provide a very clear picture of its goals and objectives.” Obama did say during his address that his military strategy will not include any American troops being deployed on the ground to fight the group. Udall’s signal of caution to the Obama

administration is a nod to a public that demands action against the militant group, but is also war-weary. The senator’s message to Obama is also part of a continuing balancing act that Democrats nationwide have struggled to find in responding to a president with low approval ratings. Udall’s opponent this November, Republican U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner, said he supports Obama’s plan for increased airstrikes, but did not express much confidence in the commander in chief. “The president’s mishandling of our nation’s foreign policy and his failure to formulate a clear strategic vision to confront these threats has led us to the tragic series of events unfolding across the Middle East and the world,” Gardner said through an emailed statement. The ISIS issue surfaced in the Senate race earlier in week, following a comment made by Udall during a Sept. 6 debate in Grand Junction. Udall ended up apologizing for saying during the debate that two U.S. journalists who were beheaded by ISIS members would agree that the U.S. shouldn’t be “impulsive” in dealing with ISIS. Journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff were recently executed, and the militant group has promised there would be more killings if the U.S. did not halt its targeted airstrikes against the group. “Steve Sotloff and James Foley would tell us, `Don’t be impulsive,’” Udall said during the debate. “Horrible and barbarous as those executions were, don’t be impulsive, come up with a plan to knock (ISIS) back.’” Udall apologized two days later for invoking the journalists’ names. And — although Gardner said nothing to Udall about his comments during the debate — he blasted Udall’s remarks, after Udall had issued his apology. Obama’s speech received different reactions from two congressmen who are also seeking re-election this year. Democratic U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter, who is running for a fifth term representing the 7th Congressional District, voiced support for the president’s ISIS response. Perlmutter, who is running against Republican Don Ytterberg this fall, said Obama’s response was “strong and direct.” Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman is in a tough re-election battle with former state House Speaker Andrew Romanoff in Colorado’s 6th Congressional District. The realities of Coffman’s diverse district — which was recently redrawn — has forced him to come across as a moderate in key areas of policy, as indicated by his response to Obama’s speech. “President Bush did too much, getting us involved in a costly and unnecessary occupation, but President Obama has done too little to take the fight to those who seek to do us harm,” Coffman said.

For Dee Breitenfeld: It was all about the history Many years ago, I think I first encountered Dee Breitenfeld at the first meeting of the Teller County Centennial Committee, way back before the most-recent turn of the century, in the fall of 1998. Liz Hook, working for the County at the time, pulled together a ragtag group of local notables that included, among others, Dee, Greg Winkler, Ed and Jeanette Zupancic, and several others, including myself. Our mission, should we decide to accept it, was to mark, and call attention to, the county’s 100-year birthday. Within, a few moments of that first meeting, I recognized one self-evident truth. Dee Breitenfeld, in all her years with the Ute Pass Historical Society and other organizations, residency in Teller all of her life, and innate understanding of area — was markedly more valuable in this endeavor than any three, to five, of the rest of us. Marion Vance recalls Breitenfeld’s energy for preserving history, as a member various coalitions, the Ute Pass Historical Society, Teller County Historic Advisory Board and the county’s Centennial Committee. “In so many ways Dee was the heart of the
volunteer community,” Vance said. “She really had a long-term creative vision.” Breitenfeld’s take on history was somewhat like Winston Churchill’s, only without the arrogance. “History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it,” Churchill said at one point. Dee efforts were similarly driven, but without the selfish bent and concern about her place in that history. She wanted to get all down — it was important — no vital — but she didn’t suffer a lick from selfimportance. Tiring of having to go all the way to Colorado Springs to register land, mining, and other official documents, and see-
ing their tax dollars travel down the hill, mine owners and others pushed hard for the creation of Teller County is the 1890s. Teller County was created out of western El Paso County and the Northeastern tip of Freemont on March 23, 1899. McDougall built a 100-foot wide, twostory brick building that the Palace Hotel leased and after Teller County was established, county offices resided. In 1900, the county purchased the property and proceeded on plans to build a grand courthouse building. Architect A.J. Smith of Colorado Springs designed the building and general contractor J.E. Devy was hired to build. After being finished in 1904 at a cost of $60,000, the Courthouse proudly displayed the following features: gilt chandeliers, oak paneling with mahogany trims, skylights, gold standing electric fixtures (the building originally required 400 electric lamps to light it), standpipes with hose nozzle attachments, public drinking fountains, two

Broncos head to Seattle for what they hope will be a better outcome The Ray Rice domestic violence issue and Roger Goodell saga may be filling many of the sports and news headlines of late, but come Sunday, Sept. 21, a huge chunk of America will be focused on the happenings at CenturyLink Field in Seattle. That’s because the Denver Broncos get their chance to avenge - sort of - one of the most lopsided losses in Super Bowl history when they take on the mighty Seahawks that afternoon beginning at about 2:25 p.m. Mountain Daylight Time. As SNL’s Hans and Franz would say “hear me now and believe me later,” but I was probably the only person in Colorado not surprised by Seattle’s 43-8 dominating victory over the Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII. I actually picked Seattle to win that game 37-20. I thought Denver and its marvelous quarterback Peyton Manning would at least put up a fight. I was wrong. But as we all know, Seattle head coach Pete Carroll - love him or hate him - built a team that proved to be far superior to any club the Broncos had faced during 16 regular season and two playoff games leading up to
February’s Super Bowl. What people forget is that as great as the Broncos and Manning appeared to be last year, they lost four games - three in the regular season to go along with the Super Bowl disaster. Manning threw a record 55 touchdown passes during the regular season, including a record-tying seven on opening day. He also passed for an NFL record 5,477 yards and was named the NFL’s MVP for a record fifth time. Impressive as Manning was, however, he looked pedestrian - at best - in Seattle’s easy Super Bowl romp. Maybe he just bad day (34
of 49 for 280 yards with one touchdown and two very costly interceptions - one returned for a touchdown)? Or maybe Seattle was really as good as advertised last year? And still is? The Seahawks, in my opinion, are the best team in the NFL. Even if they lose to the Broncos, or the Broncos beat them - we’re talking semantics - will it really give Broncos supporters any sort of redemption? I would think not. I believe that the 35-point loss Denver suffered in the Super Bowl - and it very well could have been a 45 or 55 point loss if Carroll didn’t call off the dogs - will stick in the minds of sports fans much longer than a possible Week 3 regular season victory over Seattle on Sept. 21. If you are a Broncos fan, you are probably already angry at me for pointing out what you perceive to be so many negative facts. Remember, though, I did mention Manning’s great stats and fifth MVP in this column. Facts are facts and Peyton Manning has Summers continues on Page 13

Yes, we were into our dreams In the 1970’s in a land far away known as Santa Barbara, a much more metaphysical me led a dream workshop. Every Tuesday night, 6 to 8 of us would gather in a member’s home and take turns sharing a recent dream. We all keep a dream diary by our bedside and would sit up in the middle of the night to record a particularly lucid and insightful dream. And in an effort to enhance our dreams, we all drank a Celestial Seasoning herbal tea called Sleepytime before going to bed and gathered a purported dream inducing plant called mugwort and put it under our pillow. Yes, we were in to it. I never failed to be amazed the revealing and intimate look a person’s dream gave into their life and psyche. And it also never failed to amaze me how … despite their contention to the contrary … most people knew exactly what their dream meant. Clinical psychotherapist Jeffrey Sumber, who studied global dream mythology
at Harvard and Jungian dream interpretation at the Jung Institute in Zurich, says, “Dreaming is the communication between our conscious mind and unconscious mind. Dreams allow us to process information or events that may be painful or confusing in an environment that is at once emotionally real but physically unreal.” “Dream analysis is a key component in the process of becoming whole as a person,” he continues. “Analyzing your dreams helps you gain a deeper understanding of yourself.”
Here are Sumber’s guidelines for analyzing your dreams. Record your dreams. Keep a journal by your bedside and recall your dreams as best you can, even if it’s only a few words or sentences that encapsulates the dream. Often, that will be enough to connect the unconscious to the conscious. Identify how you were feeling in the dream. Sumber suggests asking yourself, “Was I scared, angry, remorseful, etc. Do I still feel those feelings the morning after?” Identify recurring thoughts in your dreams and daily life, such as “I don’t understand.” Or “I’m not going to make it.” Next ask yourself if you have these thoughts throughout the day. Consider all the elements of a dream. You can show up in your dreams in various roles. Ask yourself, “What’s it like to be the villain or the victim in your dream?” Put down the dream dictionary. Sumber concedes that, while there may be some universal meaning for dream symbols, he urges being committed to
understanding your unique relationship to those symbols. And finally, remember you’re the expert. “There are no experts other than yourself, when it comes to your own psyche so trust your own inner guide to your unconscious,” says Sumber. A dream can rarely be fully understood or interpreted but the process of trying to understand your dreams matters. You may not come up with one answer but rather with a number of ideas and questions that you can further explore in your waking life. Nighty night and sweet dreams. I’m off to the national forest to gather some mugwort. Cord Prettyman is a certified Master Personal Trainer and owner of Absolute Workout Fitness and Post-Re-hab Studio in Woodland Park.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear editor: Rob, your dad was right. There is, without a doubt, at least one wolverine living in (or passing through?) Elbert County. And it is black, or dark brown, or both. My mom and I saw it, crossing the road about four miles west of the town of Elbert three weeks ago. We first spotted it in the pasture, about two blocks away, headed for the road. I slowed the car; then stopped and watched with curiosity and amazement. You don’t see wolverines every day, so my brain didn’t seem to hold any relevant reference. I didn’t know what I was looking at. I asked mom, “What is it?!” But she didn’t know, either. It was traveling at a trot, going north. Since we were headed west, it crossed right in front of us giving us a long look at its profile from ... less than a block away. When it finished crossing the road it slowed, then sat in the ditch with just the top of its head visible above the grass and looked at my car as intently as we were peering at it. Then it turned and slunk over to the edge of the plowed field, and disappeared. I drove up to the point where it crossed the road and got out to look for prints on the road, but there were none. Then I looked for a den or burrow for it to have dropped into. There wasn’t one, but I found where it had turned east, right at the edge of the plowed field, leaving footprints: one fore print over-printed by a hind paw, and several less distinct indentations indicating it had followed the edge of the field, using the tall grass as cover. I took a picture (with my cell phone) of its footprints, with my hand in the photo for a size comparison. The prints were about as big as those made by an Australian shepherd, but not so large as a German shepherd. Three inches? The claws indented the soil about 3/4 inch beyond the toe pads. At the time, I was not sure what we (my mother and I) had seen. I knew it was too far off the ground and too big to be a badger, but as I commented to mom it had a similarly bushy coat. I observed aloud as we watched it, that it had shorter legs than a dog would have for such a long body so that its belly appeared to be only about 8 or 10 inches off the ground. It had a bottle-brush tail which curved to follow the top of the soil but without dragging; and it had a LOT bent over for feet (compared to a dog). It wasn’t low-slung enough to be a badger, and it had no silver skirt or stripe like a badger. In fact it looked either solid black or blackand-dark-brown. Although it was the size of a medium-sized dog it seemed to lack ears (other than just bumps) which made me even more certain it wasn’t a dog of any sort. I honestly could not remember what a wolverine was supposed to look like, so I did not know what the heck we were looking at. After I finished the day with mom and got her home I called my brother. I felt very awkward not knowing how to tell him I had seen an animal I could not identify, so I said, “Hey Leonard ... guess what?! Mom and I saw ... a ... uh ... carnivore ... “ After my description and answering lots of questions (How much would you say it weighed? At least 50 pounds. Were you near a forested area? Yes. Did it look anything like a bear? Only its hair coat ... and feet sorta — it wasn’t a bear. Did it look anything like a weasel? If you disregarded the hair coat and size ... yes; it was long like a weasel. But it wasn’t a weasel. Did it have any white or tan on it anywhere? Not on
the right profile or front. Describe the ears. Bumps. Describe the tail. Bottle brush. Bent in an s curve.) Eventually Leonard hazarded a guess: “Well then, I’d say you saw a wolverine.” I admitted I couldn’t remember what they were supposed to look like, so he recommended, “When you get home, Google ‘wolverine animal’ and see whether that is what you saw.” I did that. Although the animal we saw seemed to travel with less of a hump in its back as it crossed the road than those in the photos on line, I can confidently say that’s exactly what we saw. I read your article with fascination! Thank you for the great info! I am writing so you can be sure — your dad was right. Wolverines can still be seen in Elbert County, Colorado! As for why they are at such low elevation, maybe they do as the cougars do: follow the prey along wooded waterways, then wind up having to circle the cities for miles. Using available cover would put them in the northern, ragged edge of the black forest all the way from the Colorado Springs area right through Elbert north to the Bijou Springs watershed, and from there they could finally go west and north along the creeks back to the foothills and mountains. That’s my theory, anyhow. By the way, when I was a kid growing up, we used to hear about a “black panther” roaming the prairie gulches. It supposedly was “different from a cougar, not the same thing at all, really.” Of course cougars and panthers are the same thing, so if their black critter was different, I wonder now whether that could have been a poorly-sighted wolverine? Thanks again for the terrific article, Sincerely, Linda Braddy Dear editor: Although I live in Missouri, we do own a vacation home south of Florissant and we spend a good deal of time in Woodland Park when we’re in-state. I also happen to be an environmental geologist, and your recent reporting on the flooding issues along Fountain Creek caught my attention. Emotions appear to running high. This is my take looking from the outside in. In the recent series of Pikes Peak Courier articles posted online, residents of Crystola and points downstream blame runoff from Woodland Park for flooding and channel erosion in their communities. The Woodland Park City Manager responds that the city requires that detention structures limit runoff to historical discharges for the 100year precipitation event. City Manager David Buttery correctly points out the numerous inflows to Fountain Creek other than runoff generated in Woodland Park, and that the city’s requirements for runoff detention structures exceed those of most other municipalities. Yet downstream residents seem to be adamant in their contention that more water is coming at them from the city than in previous years. It could very well be that both sides are right. And in the most recent article (Aug. 27), Teller County officials appear to have a reasonable appreciation of the issues. It is not the amount of water that Woodland Park detains, but the amount that still enters the stream channel that may cause problems. The design criteria for detention basins are fine, but they are not absolute. They are based on point-in-time calculations that should be constantly updated to reflect changing hydrologic conditions.
The term “100-year event” does not represent a constant value of either rainfall or flood discharge. This kind of label is used to describe a statistical calculation based on historical data, and every year the quantitative value associated with the term changes. Because rainfall patterns change, a detention basin that is designed using data available when it was built may or may not meet the requirements as time passes. I do not know whether the city requires annual recalculations for each basin, but I suspect not. Aside from storm characteristics there are numerous other factors that could be affecting the volume and flow velocity of water leaving the urbanized area. For example, what percentage of the area in the Fountain Creek drainage basin is urbanized, and how much is actually controlled by detention basins? What modifications have been made to the Fountain Creek channel that might affect flow characteristics downstream? How has sediment load changed in response to flood control measures?
But those living downstream also have a responsibility to assure that channel and riparian encroachments do not hinder flow. Is the capacity of the channel known? Are zoning restrictions appropriate? What changes have occurred in the last few years? Regardless of the volume of water released at the city’s south limit, the channel downstream has to be able to accommodate it. And it may be the case that old culverts and channel geometry are not adequate to carry present discharge. The interaction of these variables emphasizes the fact that flood management must be done at drainage-basin scale to be effective. And without quantitative data to support anyone’s contentions, placing blame is counter-productive. Productive discussions among Woodland Park, its downstream neighbors and Teller County to identify and quantify all inputs to Fountain Creek are imperative. And I think it would be quite useful to install gauging stations to collect the data needed to quantify the discharge characteristics of the creek. Sincerely, Charles Spencer, Ph.D., Lee’s Summit, MO

If the number of vehicles and the number of visitors is any measure, then the 23rd annual Cruise Above the Clouds Sept. 13-14 in Woodland Park and Cripple Creek was a complete success. Excellent weather after a day of almost winter had a lot to do with
bringing out the crowds to see the show entries. More than 250 vehicles of all ages and types were on hand in Woodland Park on the first day of the event. Officials said at least 170 of the vehicle owners planned to take their entries on to Cripple Creek for the second day of the show. This is a far cry from the five cars that entered the first show in 1991 when the show was sponsored by the Woodland Park Chamber of Commerce. The Above the Clouds Cruisers Club was formed specifically to take over the show and has been doing so since 1998.
Proceeds from the annual shows help fund programs provided by local charities and civic organizations. The club was named Non-Profit of the Year in 2009 by the Woodland Park Chamber of Commerce and was featured on an episode of “My Classic Car” with Dennis Gage in 2012. Food was provided as a fundraiser by Help the Needy and the circa 1950s and 1960w Rock that accompanied the classic vehicles was provided by DJs Nick Donovan and Wallace Cotton.

Volunteer fire agencies struggle with staffing Much of state relies on unpaid emergency crews By Katie Kuntz and Burt Hubbard Rocky Mountain PBS I-News
Volunteer firefighters protect about half of Colorado’s residents, with solely volunteer departments being responsible for about 70 percent of the state’s land surface. And they are significantly understaffed. The Colorado State Fire Chiefs Association estimates that Colorado is short 3,500 volunteers in meeting National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) standards. That would require an increase of more than 40 percent to the present force. “Generally, all fire departments that have volunteers need more volunteers,” said Garry Briese, executive director of the fire chiefs association. Like their career counterparts, volunteers are expected to respond at all hours of day and night, often over extended distances, and in all weather conditions. They face the same obstacles, inherent health risks and physical dangers. The difference is that they don’t get paid. There are 198 all-volunteer departments in Colorado serving more than 450,000 residents, and an additional 137 agencies that are a combination of career and volunteer firefighters. These “hybrid” stations serve 2.2 million residents, and 33 of them have only one or two paid firefighters. To give perspective to the size and shape of all-volunteer fire departments against their vast responsibilities, they average nine firefighters per 1,000 residents and six per 100 square miles, an area about two-thirds the size of Denver.

A Rocky Mountain PBS I-News analysis of state fire agency records highlights the critical role played by volunteers, as well as the impact of shortages on response times and numbers of responders. The data show: At least 43 departments are completely within the Colorado red zone — the territory most prone to destructive wildfires. Twelve of those departments are made up entirely of volunteers and 25 are hybrid departments. The red-zone departments protect more than 300,000 Coloradans.
Response times suffer
On average, all-volunteer departments took 30 minutes to muster six firefighters to a wildfire, while hybrid departments averaged almost 45 minutes to reach similar incidents with fewer than five responders, according to a state survey. The average response time to all fire categories was 18 minutes with fewer than six responders, numbers below recommendations set by the NFPA. A volunteer department in a designated rural area should send at least six respondents to an incident within 14 minutes. The standards allows for four respondents in designated remote areas. The majority of areas protected by volunteers in Colorado are considered rural or remote. “Volunteers go out sometimes with two or even just one person,” Briese said. “But the optimal number is four and we want no less than three — but to do that we would need a pool of about 30 volunteers (for each department).” Of the 198 all-volunteer stations, 162 departments — or 82 percent — have fewer than 30 volunteers.

a population of more than 10,000 Coloradans and 110 square miles, but has only 15 volunteers. Mike Heckard, volunteer lieutenant in Peyton, said the obligations faced by volunteers, primarily work, and their short numbers, can mean that only one volunteer will respond. “Sometimes we have volunteers who will be at the station, and when we get a call they can respond straight from here,” Heckard said. “But a lot of our members work in Colorado Springs, which is about half an hour away — so it really depends on the time of day we get the call.” Heckard said night and weekend emergencies see faster response times and more responders. “Obviously, time is a concern for us,” said Daniel Hatlestad, deputy chief of the Inter-Canyon Volunteer Fire Department in Jefferson County. “Fires change — it is extremely rapid in a house fire, where it can literally double in just a matter of minutes.” But with few volunteers available, especially during the work week, longer response times can be inevitable. “One of the things about our department is that because we are all volunteers, we can always use more volunteers,” Heckard said. “That’s kind of a volunteerwide problem right now.”
Small department struggles
The Rock Creek Volunteer Fire Department covers about 350 residents in north Eagle County. Volunteer fire chief Brita Horn said her department’s operations are critical, but with only about 12 total volunteers, it’s difficult to muster a big response. “The people who actually live here in this area, who can actually make the call, there are probably six to eight who can actually respond,” Horn said. “We are lucky to get two people to respond. “Most of us work during the day and we work in other communities and might be even an hour away,” said Horn, who is the Routt County treasurer, on top of her duties with Rock Creek. “We do have rolling tires within six minutes of receiving a call, but we respond from our homes or our work or our ranches.” The Rock Creek district covers some 250 square miles. “We can call up a strike team from other fire departments, but it can take about an hour for anyone to show up,” Horn said. In 2012, the Inter-Canyon volunteers were among the first responders to the Lower North Fork Fire, one of the first in a series of highly destructive fires that year. “It destroyed 28 structures (including 22 homes) and three people died,” Hatlestad said. “Ultimately, it took hundreds of firefighters, volunteers and career, to beat that one. “This year we have had only two very, very small wildland fires,” he said. “It’s all dependent on the weather — but in other
years we will have tremendous land fires.”
Most runs aren’t fires
Volunteer firefighters are also first responders in case of medical emergencies, motor vehicle accidents and natural disasters. Only 15 percent of their calls are to actual fires. “People see the fire department as that one source for emergencies,” Hatlestad said. “We have assisted in horse rescues, hazardous materials, rope rescues — like in searches near the canyons — and that’s a completely different set of talents and knowledge to complete those kinds of rescues.” Last September’s flooding along West Creek devastated Glen Haven, an unincorporated community northeast of Estes Park, with volunteer firefighters acting as first responders, community organizers and cleanup crew. “We were lucky the new (fire station) building was about 90 percent complete by the flood — because our old one was washed away,” said Jason Gdovicak, volunteer chief of the Glen Haven department. “The new station became the sort-of town center and now we are kind of getting back to normalcy.” The flood pushed many residents to volunteer, and to seek to join the fire department. But Gdovicak had to draw the line — the department simply could not afford it. “It costs about $5,000 per volunteer,” he said. “That covers their training and safety equipment so the firefighter doesn’t have to put any money up.” Training and protective gear are critical elements to maintaining an effective and safe volunteer force. But in Colorado, it’s all voluntary. There is no statute requiring firefighters to become certified, even though many departments push it. “We do tons and tons of medical training, and we have to restart every year,” said Rock Creek chief Horn. “It’s all basic medical first responder — stop the bleeding, start the breathing.” Volunteer departments often use training as a way of maintaining interest. “The fewer fires you have, the fewer activities, the more volunteers will drift away,” Briese said. “We have to have a purpose and there are a lot of demands on our time right now.” But training can also cost a significant amount of time and money. Then there is fundraising, which can be burdensome. “Many of the all-volunteer departments raise their money with things like pancake breakfasts,” Briese said. They host fundraisers, apply for grants, or establish support through local tax levies. “It’s all through fundraising and donations,” Gdovicak said. “We’re not a tax district, and so in the middle of this summer Agencies continues on Page 13

Volunteers on front lines for major fires Volunteer firefighters have played key roles in fighting some of the most destructive fires in Colorado’s recent history. Here is a rundown of the state’s largest forest fires since 2010 and the role of volunteer fire departments.
hills near Fort Collins. It destroyed 259 homes and killed one person. The Rist Canyon Volunteer Fire Department was the first to respond. It has 36 volunteers and no government funding.
Fourmile Canyon Fire
The fire erupted June 23, 2012, in the Colorado Springs foothills and nearby national forest. It destroyed 347 homes, killing two people. The Forest Service was the first responder, but residents in Manitou Springs, Crystal Park, Green Mountain Falls and Chipita Park were evacuated. The towns all had volunteer fire departments totaling seven career firefighters and 78 volunteers.
The fire erupted on Labor Day, Sept. 6, 2010, in the canyon west of Boulder. It destroyed 168 homes. Four fire districts were among the first responders: Fourmile, Sunshine, Sugar Loaf and Gold Hill. Combined, they have one paid staffer and 106 volunteers.
Lower North Fork Fire The fire began March 26, 2012, after a prescribed burn in the Jefferson County foothills got out of control. It destroyed 22 homes and killed three residents. Three fire districts were the first responders: Elk Creek, North Fork and Inter-Canyon. Between them, they have eight paid professionals and 150 volunteers.

gear has been donated, as well. “We are always asking for donations from the community and I write a ton of grants every year to try to pay for things,” she said. “We have to get equipment, radios and wildland gear, and these things are really expensive.” Most volunteers face the struggle of balancing their careers, families and futures with the time commitment to train and the physical risks of volunteering. “For me, the biggest challenge is the
responsibility of getting everyone home, making sure everyone is safe,” Gdovicak said. “It’s a struggle at times and you just do the best you can do, the best for the community.” As these volunteers consider the needs of their community, they say the benefit of taking on these challenges outweighs the risks. “It’s what I love to do. I love helping people, I love the family that we have down here, I love everything about it, to be hon-
est,” Heckard said. “There’s no paycheck that they can write you for the feeling that you get when you are able to help someone.” Colorado Community Media brings you this report in partnership with Rocky Mountain PBS I-News.

Silence is the loudest sound of the night I have always lived near either a busy street or railroad tracks. If you do not, you may have other sounds you hear in the night. Like the airplanes and the airport! For the most part, you get used to the sounds, but not all them. Another of my favorite stories is about aromas – but this is sounds. Living near the highway, the main times I really noticed it, other than the sirens at unexpected times of the day, was in the winter. I could tell what the weather was doing without getting out of bed. If it was dead silent, oh man, it must be really snowing. Friends of mine in Palmer Lake and Monument agree with me.

distant whistles. They are not as musical as they used to be. The train’s engineer pushes a button on the computer controlled whistle. In the days of steam engines every engineer had his own “touch.” Some wives could recognize their husband’s signal. I remember years ago spending the night in a motel near a railroad crossing. After all, I lived by the tracks, but that was not the problem. Those trains did not blow their horns at the crossing, nor were there bells! When the first train went by, I came straight up out of bed, but after that I can’t tell you if any others went by. There is a federal law as to how and when trains blow their horns. A friendly

engineer might give a toot – that is allowed – but he might also really lay it on if he thinks there is a problem. In a few places they have rules about not blowing the horn so much. It regularly comes up, after an accident where a train is involved, “did the horn blow?” As I said, most of the people who live near the area get used to it, unless something is different. In the cold winter nights the sounds carry further. Where I live now, I rarely hear horns, but I can tell the growl of a train coming up hill. But, in the winter I sometimes hear horns that I know are from many miles away.

Supplement Facts:
Part 1 of 2
Soy Isoflavones Soy Isoflavones are phytoestrogens, daidzein, genistein and glycitein extracted from soy. Soy Isoflavones have a protective component against cancer. Rutin Rutin is a flavonoid related to Quercetin. Rutin is nutritionally supportive for fragile capillaries, bruising and swollen ankles. Rutin prevents oxidation of LDL cholesterol by “recharging” Vitamin C. Inositol Hexaphosphate Inositol is the energy source for germinating seeds. It aids in the metabolism of insulin and calcium, hair growth, bone marrow cell metabolism, eye membrane development, and helps the liver transfer fat to other parts of the body. Choline Choline is used by the body to manufacture phosphatidylcholine found in every cell membrane. This component helps cells to remain flexible enough to travel around tight corners of blockages in the body. In the nerve cells and brain cells it protects the interior of the cell from trauma, toxins, infections, and oxidation. Spirulina Spirulina is a blue-green algae containing 65-71% complete protein. It is a balance of all the amino acids. Barley Grass Barley Grass improves digestion and supplies powerful nutrients and enzymes. Apple Pectin Apple Pectin is a wonderful dietary fiber, lowers cholesterol and triglycerides levels, aids in the removal of toxins and helps prevent colon cancer, diabetes, GI disorders and heart diease. Oat Bran Research shows that oat bran lowers cholesterol levels thus promoting a lower risk of heart disease. Oat Bran is a great fiber source of Vitamin B1, iron, phosphorus, and potassium. Ginkgo Biloba Ginkgo Biloba increases circulation and enhances brain function. Research may show that Ginkgo has been helpful in lowering cardiovascular disease. Gotu kola Gotu kola is “brain food.” Gotu kola is known as a blood purifier, diuretic and helps relieve muscle cramps. Flax Seed Flax Seed is a rich source of Omega 3 and Omega 6 essential fatty acids. This anti-inflammatory supports the joints, assists the body in the fight against allergies, cancer, cardiovascular disease and cholesterol balance. Citrus Bioflavonoid Citrus Bioflavonoid provides protection of capillaries and is an antioxidant. Co-Q10 Co-Q10 is needed for a healthy heart muscle. Co-Q10 is used by every cell in the body to capture electrons release as the mitochondria release the energy by combing sugar with oxygen. Green Tea Extract Green Tea contains compounds know as polyphenols that function as antioxidants combat bacteria and abnormal cells, inhibit the oxidation of LDL, cholesterol are found in green tea. OPC-50 Grape Seed Extract and Pine Bark These ingredients are rich in proanthocyanidins (PAC’s) providing extreme antioxidant protection. Quercetin Quercetin is a flavonoid with anti-allergenic, antihistaminic and anti-inflammatory activity.
Enzyme Complex
Amylase Amylase digests Carbohydrates Lipase Lipase digests fats Cellulase Cellulase breaks down non-digestible fiber found in plants. Papain Papain is a rich source of digestive enzymes. Bromelain Bromelain is a protein digestive enzyme that helps the body release toxins and waste products from the body. Licorice Root Licorice Root strengthens adrenal gland function, relieves pain and inflammation, relaxes muscle spasms, lowers cholesterol, and acts as a mild laxative. Siberian ginseng root Siberian ginseng enhances energy out put, regulates blood pressure, reduces cholesterol, stimulates immune functions, and promotes a general sense of balance. Mushroom Complex Mushroom Complex has been found to reduce lipid and serum cholesterol levels, provides strong adaptogenic tendencies, anti-tumor and immune-potentiating properties, and can be used in the treatment in various cancers. Garlic Garlic stimulates coronary circulation, supports immune function, anti- parasitic, stimulates digestive fluids, and combats infection, reducing blood pressure and heart rate. Vegetable Complex The vegetable complex is derived from sources such as broccoli, celery, parsley, cauliflower, carrots, and spinach, yam, collard greens, kale, and brussel sprouts. These are foods richest sources of vitamins, minerals and enzymes. They assist in alkalizing the body; they are rich in nutrients such as Vitamin K, chlorophyll, beta-carotene, and provide excellent free radical support. Fruit Complex The fruit complex is derived from oranges, lemons, tangerines, grapefruits, and limes. The components of these fruits are nature’s richest sources of citrus bio-flavonoids, vitamin C, and powerful antioxidants which may reduce clotting tendencies and inhibit oxidation of LDL cholesterol. Research confirms that a diet high in bioflavonoid contributes to a reduced risk of heart disease.

ob Schleicher wore a radiant smile at the groundbreaking ceremony Sept. 5 for Forest Ridge, a skillednursing facility adjacent to Pikes Peak Regional Hospital. A project that took four years to reach the construction stage, Forest Ridge, expected to open in the fall of 2015, offers post-hospital recovery as well as skilled nursing. With 80 private guest suites and multiple dining and living areas, Forest Ridge features a flexible design to accommodate memory care and other levels of long-term care. For Schleicher, the ceremony was vindication for the doubters in the community. “It has been almost four years that I first met with the association board (Pikes Peak Regional Medical Center Association). For three hours I got raked over the coals, mainly by Mark Sumner, who is an attorney,” he said. “At the end of it, I was doubting whether I should do this or not. But they did grant me exclusive development and operating rights for the project.” Schleicher introduced his development partners, principles with OnPointe Health, a privately-owned company which will manage the facility. “I needed the right team to work with the hospital and integrate the level of care that our community deserves,” he said. In a time when the population of people in Teller County 65 and over is expected to increase by 157 percent over the next 20 years, Forest Ridge is in a prime spot. “It’s very cutting edge,” said Horace Winchester, a principle of OnPointe. “It’s hard to build a facility like this in a town this size. That’s why we praise Bob – he did an awesome job. He’s really done something extraordinary.” Curt Grina, president of the PPMCA, emphasized the grassroots nature of the project. “You have got to get the right mix of support, talent and a couple of key people that have a missing piece in their education.” Schleicher, in particular, had no idea that building a nursing home in Woodland Park would meet with such skepticism from people who said it couldn’t be done. “He never learned that,” Grina said.
Bob Schleicher welcomes the people at the groundbreaking ceremony Sept. 4 to launch Woodland Park’s first skilled nursing facility, Forest Ridge. Schleicher is the facility’s developer who has been recognized for his tenacity in getting the project moving. Photos by Pat Hill
Jerry Williamson, another OnPointe principle, said. “Towns of this size do not get facilities of this breadth and quality anymore – they just cost too much, have too many moving pieces,” Williamson said. “So Bob did the impossible. This is realty a blessing for the community and it’s because the community made it happen.’ Forest Ridge is expected to hire from 85 to 100 full-time and some part-time employees. The facility is licensed to accept residents who qualify for Medicaid. “This is a very nice facility for one that takes Medicaid,” Williamson said. For rehabilitation services for people 65 and older, Forest Ridge accepts Medicare, which pays for up to 100 days for short-term stays. The project is financed by Sunflower Bank in Salina, Kan., designed by Architectural Nexus and built by Golden Triangle Construction of Colorado Springs.

Smithsonian hosts Carr family By James Carr For the Courier
Adam Carr, 16, and his family were the guests of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum this summer. Four years ago, Carr donated his contest winner to the Museum. In 2010, Disney Parks and NASA launched a contest for the most creative mission – patch design to honor Buzz Lightyear as America’s first and longestserving space ranger. In 2008, NASA flew a Buzz Lightyear toy to the International Space Station as a part of an educational project sponsored by NASA and DisneyPixar. Carr, who lived in Tampa, Fla. at the time, won the contest at the age of 11. Now a teenager living in Woodland Park, Carr visited the mall museum with his family to see the artifact on display. Space History curator, Margaret Weitekamp, was their host in the Moving Beyond Earth gallery’s space-shuttle mid-deck mockup. Moving Beyond Earth is an immersive exhibition that places visitors “in orbit” in the shuttle and space-station era to explore recent human spaceflight and future possibilities. An expansive view of the Earth, as viewed from the space station, drifts over one gallery wall while a fly-around tour of the International Space Station fills another wall. A presentation stage for live events, broadcasts and webcasts stands at the center of the gallery. The patch that Carr designed is exhibited in an interactive case inside a 12-foot tall mockup of the Space Shuttle Discovery’s mid-deck, the place where the astronauts would eat, exercise and sleep. The forward wall of mid-deck lockers has been transformed into exhibit cases with doors that can be opened, revealing the range of items flown in space by astronauts, including cameras, clothing, food and computers. Carr’s Buzz Lightyear mission patch shares a locker with the real space-flown Buzz Lightyear toy and a Magellan T. Bear that flew in space as a part of an educational project organized by Elk Creek El-

Other artifacts in Moving Beyond Earth include launch-vehicle models representing the quest for routine access to space as well as astronaut gear, spacesuit gloves and a trainer for Hubble Space Telescope components that convey the challenges of
living and working in space. The suit worn by space tourist Dennis Tito and the Robonaut suggest future prospects for commercial spaceflight. The Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum maintains the world’s largest and most significant collection of aviation and space artifacts, encompassing all aspects of human flight, as well as related works of art and archival materi-

For dad and daughter, a game that two can coach Caley Mitchell stands next to third base, a white baseball cap shading her eyes, a single braid running down her back. Intensity radiates from her small frame as she leans her hands on her knees and looks toward the batter at home plate. “OK, line drive, two-three, you can do it,” she says. “Big zone, fight it off. Good job.” She claps several times. “You can do it. Right here.” The batter strikes out. New inning. “All right, let’s go, hustle,” Caley tells her players as they run onto the field. “Hey, a lot of eyes … you never know, you never know.” In another ballpark, on another day, Toby Tabola, sunglasses perched atop the baseball cap on his head, paces next to third base, stops to send his batter her signals, then leans his hands on his knees. “Get it started, six. C’mon, you can do it,” he says, his voice quiet, confident. “Don’t give up here. You got it. Good job.” He claps and nods encouragement. “C’mon, six, go get it.” The ball pops up. New inning. Toby steps into the dugout, but his words follow the players as they take the field. “A lot of eyes, ladies. Let’s go!” If you listen and watch closely, the similarities between the two softball coaches are apparent. What they say. Mannerisms. How they play the game. Not surprising when you learn they are father and daughter. But what defines them is what you can’t see — the story behind the game, one that tells of family and love, legacies instilled, life lessons well learned. “Being part of something bigger than yourself, such as a team, teaches people to be humble and to put the greater good before yourself,” Caley says. “Being involved in a team sport is one of the best things that ever happened to me. My dad taught me this from a very young age, and I try to
instill that in my players — that belonging to a team, and experiencing the joys and challenges that come with it, is truly a blessing.” The story begins when Caley, now 29, was just 4. Her grandparents sponsored a longtime men’s fast-pitch team, Stenseth Agency. Toby, now 56, played on his own fast-pitch team. Caley always tagged along. “She grew up around the ballparks watching tournaments and watching me play,” Toby says. “She was kind of born into the culture.” Toby, a high school psychology and sociology teacher who retired in 2012 after 32 years, coached football in his early days. Friday night games meant Caley riding with the coaches, eating sunflower seeds, grabbing Cokes at the gas station. “I have vivid memories of sitting and coloring and listening to the coaches strategizing,” Caley says. “I was always part of a team situation. That’s why I love this.” Around 6 years old, Caley picked up a bat for T-ball. Softball started the next year. She joined a competitive summer team at 11, and Toby began coaching her then. “We had a very good father-daughter, coach-player relationship,” Toby says. Caley paid attention to fundamentals. She listened. She learned. She didn’t get angry when her dad corrected her. “She was a joy to coach.”
Caley laughs. She points out at her wedding, in his toast at the reception, Toby noted how “she was a very coachable kid.” In high school, Caley played second base and was good enough to earn allleague honors. A shoulder injury the summer before her senior year changed plans to play in college. Instead, she focused on becoming a social studies teacher. But during the 2006-07 school year, while she was student teaching, she also found her way back to softball as an assistant coach — for her dad, in his first year as head coach at Ponderosa High School in Parker. The next year, Castle View High School in Castle Rock hired Caley to teach. And after three years as assistant softball coach there, she became head coach. The two schools are league rivals. Caley: “The first time we played each other, my dad hugged me at the plate and … gave me a white rose.” Then they exchanged lineups. Toby: “It was a special moment. This is pretty cool to go up to home plate to compete against your daughter. I really didn’t care about winning or losing — it was a cool moment.” The two admittedly mirror each other in many ways. Caley: “I find myself saying things all the time that I think, `I must say that ‘cause you say that.’ ” Toby: “Our philosophies are way similar.” Caley: “Yeah, because I got it from you.” Toby: “A lot of thought went into that philosophy.” Caley: “It’s a great philosophy.” The philosophy is small ball or as Toby calls it, “smart ball.” Or as Caley explains, bunting. Toby: “She knows everything I’m going to do, pretty much. She knows when I’m going to bunt.”
Caley: “‘Cause it’s always when I would bunt.” They both believe in the life lessons taught by the game. Toby: “It builds character. You’re forced to face challenges; you don’t get everything you want when you want it. … You can’t be successful if you’re selfish. It forces you to be bigger than yourselves.” Caley isn’t surprised she’s walking in her dad’s footsteps. “I knew I wanted to be a teacher and a coach from a very young age,” Caley says. “I’ve had a really good role model. Even if other parts of his life were stressful, my dad would always say, `I like my job.’ He was always happy in what he was doing. … He showed that he could have such a large sphere of influence and that choosing a career based on what you love is way more important than money or status.” Toby, for his part, couldn’t be prouder of Caley. Facing her on the softball field — where their bond has been nurtured — is an unexpected bonus. “It’s been a blessing,” he says, “a total blessing.” Caley and Toby haven’t played each other yet this year. The matchup should be good — the teams boast two of the state’s best pitchers. Someday, Caley would like Toby to coach with her. They look at each other: Wouldn’t that be fun? And wouldn’t that just be a fitting end to the story behind this game. Ann Macari Healey’s column about people, places and issues of everyday life appears every other week.

Elk activity peaks in September The days are growing shorter now, the nights a little cooler, and the aspen and underbrush are bursting into shades of red, yellow, orange and gold. There may even be a light dusting of snow in the high country. It’s September, and for a few short weeks, thousands of visitors are attracted to this magical time in Colorado. It is also the time of the annual elk rut or breeding season, where the strongest bulls compete for the right to pass superior genes along to the next generation. Bulls will gather cows into a harem which they must defend night and day
from other bulls attempting to lure cows away. At times the action can be intense. The countryside rings with the sounds of bugling elk, a sound or shrill of several oc-

taves that once heard is not soon forgotten. The larger bulls will posture themselves and display their majestic racks in an effort to attract more cows and intimidate rivals. The action peaks when a couple of mega bulls lock their massive racks in combat. The fighting can go on for quite some time until one bull overpowers the other. While these battles are serious, they rarely end in death. One of the most popular elk viewing areas is Rocky Mountain National Park. Within the national park, the Moraine Park and Horseshoe Park areas are favorites. It’s easy to spot the action — just watch traffic,

Rivals differ on battle over gay marriage Coffman, Quick seek post of state attorney general By Vic Vela

vvela@colorado communitymedia.com Both Cynthia Coffman and Don Quick say their positions on how to handle gay-marriage court battles are in the best interest of same-sex couples who are seeking nuptials. The two candidates for attorney general discussed gay marriage and other topics during recent, separate sit-down interviews with Colorado Community Media. Coffman, a Republican deputy attorney general, and Quick, a Democrat and former Adams County district attorney, are locked in a key down-ticket race. Coffman, who is married to U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman, touts her experience in state government and knowledge of office operations as reasons for voters to support her candidacy. For his part, Quick, a Wheat Ridge native, boasts of his record as Adams County DA, including his prosecution of government corruption among of-
ficials there. The race is one of the most closely watched attorney general’s races in the country, with millions of campaign dollars having come in from outside donors. But, all of that aside, the race could come down to gay marriage. “There is no constitutional defense for treating gay and lesbian couples differently,” Quick said. “There are no second-class citizens.” But Coffman said Quick’s personal feelings about gay marriage have nothing to do with the role the attorney general plays in this issue. “I have a personal opinion about the issue, which I’m not going to share because to me, my personal opinion doesn’t matter,” she said. Current Attorney General John Suthers, a Republican who is termlimited, has defended the state’s 2006 gay marriage ban in court battles that reached new heights over the summer. In June, the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals — which has jurisdiction over Colorado cases — ruled Utah’s gay marriage ban to be unconstitutional. However, the court stayed its decision, knowing that the case would
ultimately be decided by the Supreme Court. The court’s stay didn’t stop the county clerk in Boulder from issuing same-sex marriage licenses. Shortly thereafter, a state district court judge in Adams County ruled in a separate case that Colorado’s gay marriage ban is also unconstitutional. That judge also issued a stay in the decision. Despite calls from gay lawmakers and Gov. John Hickenlooper not to appeal the Adams County ruling, Suthers has taken the case to the Colorado Supreme Court. And, along the way, Suthers has waged a court battle with the Boulder County Clerk’s Office in an effort to stop it from issuing more same-sex marriage licenses. Most recently, Suthers led a group of 17 attorneys general asking the Supreme Court to take up arguments on same-sex marriage bans in Utah and Oklahoma.
Suthers’ approach scrutinized
Critics have said Suthers is delaying the inevitability of gay marriage. Gay continues on Page 20

Cripple Creek waives fees, taxes for build By N. W. Oliver
Contribuing writer At the Council meeting at City Hall in Cripple Creek Sept. 3, the council approved tax and fee waivers for an upcoming build project for Habitat for Humanity of Teller County (HHTC). The request was presented by Executive Director for HHTC, Jamie Caperton. The new home will be built on a vacant lot located at 316 N. Florissant St. on the North side of town. Habitat for Humanity does not give away homes. Families that qualify for partnership with HHTC must have stable jobs where they earn 30 to 60 percent of the area median annual income, make mortgage payments on the land, and invest 300-400 hours of work on their home. These requirements ensure that the home will be maintained properly and that partner families become contributing members of the community. HHTC claims on their website that building such homes in a community brings economic investment and development to the area. For more information about Habitat for Humanity of Teller County, or to donate or volunteer for a build, please visit www.tellerhabitat.org Public Works Director, Jim Blasing delivered some hard news about the Bennett Avenue Project at the Sept. 3 meeting. He informed the council that the construction support services and consulting services for the project, provided by Parsons Brinckerhoff, have exceeded budget by $75,618. The complications which have led to the increase include undocumented sub-surface infrastructure, sub-standard concrete due to the travel distance between the project site and concrete plant, and inconsistencies in the elevations and angles of street front business entrances. On a lighter note, when a group of three Kiewit construction workers were asked if they had found anything “old or gold” in the historic street bed, “only this dirt; it looks pretty old,” was the only reply. While the project is still on schedule and over-all budget, the new complications and threat of an early winter could leave Bennett Avenue unfinished until spring. The main phase of the project is proposed to be finished by the end of September.

Woodland Park celebrates Local Food By Pat Hill
phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com As Colorado residents and farmers along the Front Range celebrate Local Food Week, people in Woodland Park are joining the parade with a two-day party the weekend of Sept. 20. “We’re celebrating the fact that we have growers in our Teller County area at 8,500 feet,” said Lee Willoughby, a volunteer with the Harvest Center, a nonprofit organization that initiated the first community garden in Woodland Park in 2009. Eating naturally, rather than opening a can, box or package of processed food is catching on. “We are so dependent on outside sources for our food that any progress we make toward getting a local-food economy established will be beneficial to the future of Woodland Park,” Willoughby said. While the Harvest Center cultivates the gardens at Aspen Valley Ranch for clients of the Community Cupboard, the seasonal Farmers Market is arguably one of the most popular attractions in the city. As well, Laurie Glauth and Jan Green, who opened Mountain Naturals at the Hackman House 23 years ago, have been in the vanguard of the local movement before it was cool. Today the store, now at Colo. 67 and Red Feather Lane, offers a cornucopia of local produce along with featuring the work of area artists. The store is a gathering place for locals, who exchange ideas in a cozy corner. “I think people have woken up and realizing that they need to take responsibility for their own health and well-being,” Glauth said. As the trend of ordering weekly boxes of produce from regional farmers grows, Mountain Naturals is a collection point for the CSAs, or community-supported agriculture. However, a movement isn’t really taking off without buy-in from the younger set. “Look what’s happening in our schools,” Willoughby said.
Laurie Glauth, co-owner of Mountain Naturals, and Lee Willoughby, volunteer with The Harvest Center, are dedicated to promoting healthy food and preparing for the Local Food Celebration Sept. 20 at Mountain Naturals. The shop is one of dozens along the Front Range celebrating local food week that begins Sept. 14. Photo by Pat Hill Indeed, times are changing in the lunch room. “I would say that 85 percent of our food is made from scratch,” said Lauren Stuart, food service director for the RE-2 School District. For instance, three days a week students can create their own stir fry from the Asian Nation buffet – rice and vegetables, two choices of protein, raw vegetables and three choices of sauce.
“The kids love it,” Stuart said. This year Stuart has launched a series of classes titled “Banking with Nutrition” for kindergarteners and first-graders at Columbine Elementary School. In addition, Stuart’s Junior Chef program focuses on teaching the participants to cook with fresh ingredients while incorporating the skills required to be successful as a professional. For its part, the Harvest Center has placed raised beds at the area’s elementary schools, Columbine, Gateway, Summit, Lake George and Guffey, as well as behind Little Chapel of the Hills in Divide. The Woodland Park Community Church is next up – with a garden-construction event at 10 a.m. Sept. 17, a collaboration of the Harvest Center, Community Partnership Family Resource Center, Community Cupboard and the church. “A portion of the food grown will go to the cupboard,” Willoughby said, referring to the food bank.

But Coffman believes her boss is doing the right thing — and that she would follow his path on his handling of this issue. Coffman said Suthers’ recent filing with the Supreme Court will end up fast-tracking the case toward a quicker resolution. When asked if one could make the argument that Suthers’ handling of the case is actually in the best interest of gay couples, because it could get the issue to the Supreme Court more quickly, Coffman said, “Yes, absolutely. I believe that.” But Quick doesn’t see how continuing to fight against gay marriage in court is helping same-sex couples realize their dreams of marriage equality. “I think for a large segment of society, not just gay and lesbian couples, but for people who have family members that are gay and lesbian couples,” it means they have to wait even longer, he said. Quick dismisses arguments against gay marriage that have nothing to do with the Constitution, especially those that cite procreation as a reason to prevent gays from getting married. “John Suthers hasn’t procreated in 30 years and I haven’t in over 20 years, but somehow I think our wives both think our marriages have value and they’re important,” Quick said. But Coffman said that perhaps Quick doesn’t understand that the role of the Attorney General’s Office is to defend the state’s laws, regardless of whether he likes them.
In a larger sense, the raised beds and gardens reflect a pathway toward unity. “The world ‘unity’ is what community is about,” Glauth said. “So with the church stepping up and embracing what that means is part of the enlightenment in the community where people are getting involved in ways they haven’t been before.” The Local Food Celebration at Mountain Naturals is from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sept. 20 and includes cooking demonstrations, local farmers and artists, entertainment, music, face-painting and conversation. The next day, Sept. 21, the Harvest Center hosts a potluck from 1 to 3:30 p.m. at Aspen Valley Ranch. Participants are asked to bring a dish with ingredients from the garden or the oven. “This is about a lifestyle, a way of life and something we believe in so there’s a passion to this, that we believe we’re doing a good thing,” Glauth said. “I think there was a need in this community but the timing had to be right.”
“(U.S. Attorney General) Eric Holder has been the poster child of picking and choosing what laws to defend,” she said. “I think he has violated his oath to defend the Constitution of the United States by picking and choosing. And to me, what Don is suggesting is the same thing: `I’m going to decide what is constitutional or not.’” Coffman said Quick forgets that Suthers took heat from conservative groups when his office filed a discrimination complaint against a Lakewood baker who refused to make a wedding cake for a gay couple. Suthers’ office also defended the state’s recent Democrat-sponsored gun-control laws in a court battle this year. Quick has also been critical of Suthers for joining several other attorneys general in opposing the Affordable Care Act’s birthcontrol mandate — the “Hobby Lobby” case that succeeded at the Supreme Court. Quick said he “strongly believes that a woman should make her health care decisions.” But Coffman finds those arguments offensive. “We have birth control available to women, abortion is available, and to consistently try to be deceptive and inflame women on those issues, I just think it’s politics. It’s irresponsible,” Coffman said. But Quick thinks that Coffman is the one who doesn’t have a grip on what the job of attorney general is all about. He believes that an attorney general has a duty to challenge a law if he or she “has grave doubts about constitutionality of the law.” “I’ll defend laws whether I agree or disagree, but if there is an intentional targeting of a group denying them a fundamental right, then I will not defend that law,” he said.

Treasurer’s race features big names Markey aims to take Stapleton’s job By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Two candidates with good name recognition are seeking a job as part of a downticket ballot race that isn’t getting the same kind of attention as other statewide contests. “It doesn’t get talked about compared to the congressional races, but the state treasurer is an important job,” said former Congresswoman Betsy Markey, the Democratic candidate. To succeed, Markey will have to take down current Treasurer Walker Stapleton. Stapleton is the great-grandson of former Denver Mayor Craig Roberts Stapleton and is related to the Bush dynasty that has produced two U.S. presidents. But Stapleton said what he’s accomplished as treasurer has little to do with his family ties. “I think I’ve proven that I have a track record of keeping my head down and
working for Colorado,” he said. “My message has resonated with the people of Colorado and I’m glad that it has.” The state treasurer oversees billions of dollars in state investments and also sits on the board of the Public Employee Retirement Association, among other duties. Stapleton has held the seat since 2010, after he defeated incumbent Democrat Cary Kennedy in a tight race. Stapleton believes voters will reward the accomplishments of his first term. He backed policies that consolidated debt and refinanced the state’s unemployment insurance system. Stapleton also touts treasurer’s officebacked legislation that carried with it overwhelming bipartisan support at the Legislature. “My perspective when I ran for office was when you get an opportunity to deal with economic policy issues, you have an opportunity to cross political alliances,” he said. Markey served in Congress from 20092011, representing the state’s 4th Congressional District before losing her re-election bid to current Rep. Cory Gardner. Following her loss to Gardner, Markey worked for the U.S. Department of Home-
land Security. Markey has experience in finance, having worked as a budget analyst for the Department of Treasury. “You’re working with the state legislature to promote economic development in the state, manage investments wisely and pay bills on time,” Markey said of the role of the state treasurer. “It’s an opportunity to work with legislators and the private sector to make sure were getting the best from our investments.”
PERA divides rivals
Markey and Stapleton have much different views on one key area — the handling of the state’s PERA fund. Stapleton has made PERA reform his chief cause since taking office four years ago and he has been critical of PERA for maintaining about $26 billion in unfunded liabilities. “That’s a figure that’s a staggering amount of money,” he said. “That’s larger than Colorado’s entire budget in any given year.” Stapleton tried to see how much money the state pays out to its top 20 percent of benefit recipients by filing a lawsuit seeking that information — an effort that was
supported by Gov. John Hickenlooper. However, the Colorado Supreme Court declined to hear the lawsuit, on the heels of a 2013 Court of Appeals decision that ruled that Stapleton could not have unfettered access to records. Markey said the failed lawsuit is an example of Stapleton being too focused on a single issue. “I haven’t seen him focus on anything other than PERA, quite frankly,” Markey said. “I don’t think you should use the state’s retirement plan as a political football. If you think there are structural problems in the program, then bring it to the state Legislature.” Markey said the state’s retirement system is in good shape. She points to 2010 bipartisan legislation that sought to shore up PERA by making changes to the state’s retirement age and also reformed employee/employer contributions. But Stapleton insists that the current PERA system is unsustainable and that the state needs a fiscally sound treasurer to stay on top it. “It’s easy to whistle a happy tune while walking past the graveyard,” he said. “We will have a math problem in this state, sooner or later.”

Levy leads a solid group of Panthers golfers Sophomore fired a career-best 78 Sept. 9 at Shining Mountain By Danny Summers
dsummers@coloradocommunitymedia.com Woodland Park sophomore Sam Levy appears to be well on his way to having an outstanding high school golf career. The multi-sport athlete, who also plays for the school’s baseball and basketball teams, fired a career-best 78 Sept. 9 at the Panther Invitational at Shining Mountain Golf Course in the final Class 4A Metro League match of the season. Levy’s 8-over on the par-70 course was good for a seventh-place tie overall. “Sam keeps the ball in play; that’s probably the strongest part of his game,” said Woodland Park second-year coach Brian Gustafson. “He’s good off the tee. He avoids a lot of trouble. He avoids a lot of penalty strokes and his approach shots are on or around the green. “He’s just steady. He implements good course management.” At the Woodland Park Invite, Levy hit 50 percent of his fairways and greens in regulation. Levy, who is the son of Woodland Park mayor Neil Levy, is hoping to become the first Woodland Park golfer to advance to the state tournament since Matt Colligan in 2009. Levy and his Woodland Park teammates played in a regional qualifying tournament on Sept. 16, but results of the match were not available at press time. “Sam doesn’t take a lot of big numbers (on holes) and that’s what you need to do if you want to advance to the state tournament,” Gustafson said. “He had 36 putts (at the Panther Invite). He probably needs to get into the low 30s if he hopes to advance to state.” The 4A state tournament is scheduled for Sept. 29-30 at Walking Stick Golf Club in Pueblo.
The Woodland Park golf team featured two teams at the Panther Invite on Sept. 9. Back Row from left to right are: Logan Herberger, Sam Woldridge, Josh Rayer, Eric Lays and Jace Cisneros. Front Row from left to right are: Kyle Plutt, Isaac Schnierle and Sam Levy. As a team, Woodland Park finished 9th overall at its invite, which included many 5A teams and strong 4A teams from the Pikes Peak Athletic Conference. The Panthers fielded two teams. Team 1 consisted of Levy (78), senior Sam Woldridge (106), senior Logan Herberger (106) and freshman Eric Lays (104). Woodland Park’s second team consisted of freshman Jace Cisneros (91), Sopho-
more Isaac Schnierle (100), sophomore Kyle Plutt (97) and senior Josh Rayer (109). As a team, Woodland Park finished third in the Metro League this season behind Mesa Ridge and Canon City. Levy was tied for fourth individually. “I think we have a very bright future as a team.” Gustafson said. “Our sophomores and freshmen are course rats. They are chomping at the bit to be at Shining
Mountain.” Gustafson complimented the Shining Mountain staff on allowing his team to play many rounds this season. “They have been great about working with us,” he said. Gustafson, a Woodland Parka alumnus, added that in order for his team to improve the players must take part in offseason tournaments.

Panthers enjoying solid start to volleyball season Woodland Park is seeking first league title in more than 20 years By Danny Summers
dsummers@colorado communitymedia.com It’s been more than 20 years since a new volleyball banner has been placed on the Woodland Park gymnasium walls. A lot of good Panthers’ teams have come and gone over that time, but none have been able to buck the trend and win a league title - or better. This year’s group, led by powerful middle blocker Maureen Cummings, savvy setter Jenny Lau and a tight-knit group, is on a mission to bring glory back to the program. “So far, our season has been everything we hoped it would be,” said Cummings, who has a team-leading 101 kills and 11 blocks. “We’re really coming together in a unique way. “We may not have a lot of the stars like we had in past year’s but we’re all working together toward the same goal.” Woodland Park improved to 7-3 on Sept. 11, defeating Harrison in three straight sets (25-7, 25-19 and 25-16) in its Class 4A Metro League opener. Cummings, or “Mo,” had a team-high eight kills, while senior Alex Ryan had six and junior Heather McDonald added five. Lau had 20 assists, while senior Katie Stunkard had a 95.2 serve percentage on 21 tries. As a team, Woodland Park hit 89.4 percent of its serves in bounds; a trend that pleases head coach Stacy Roshek. “We’ve served out of our minds this season,” Roshek said. “We only missed one serve in our win over Discovery Canyon. Making our serves makes all the differ-
ence.” It’s too early to tell if the Panthers’ straight-set victory (25-19, 25-21 and 2624) over previously undefeated Discovery Canyon on Sept 10 is a sign of great things to come, but it certainly gives Roshek hope that her team can play with a quality team from the mighty Pikes Peak Athletic Conference. The last six state champions have come from the PPAC, or previous versions of the conference. “Our defense is playing really well,” Roshek said. “Our back row defense is scrappy. “Both middles (Cummings and Ryan) and doing what we need them to do. If our passing is strong we do well. Jenny Lau is so quick and she reads the defense so well.” Lau and many of her Woodland Park teammates have played club ball together in the off-season in recent years. “Ninety percent of our team this year is 100 percent volleyball,” Lau said. “We have a few kids who play other sports, but otherwise we are committed to volleyball.” Stunkard, for example, plays basketball and soccer. But she has really focused on improving her volleyball serving and defensive skills. Her 65 digs rank second on the team to Michelle Cruse’s 94. Cruse’s 93 percent serve percentage ranks first, slightly ahead of Stunkard’s 92.5 percent. “We are so close as a team,” Cruse said “We’ve all grown to love each other.” Woodland Park is 21-6 in it victories and 1-9 in its losses to Buena Vista, Conifer and Niwot. “Our girls hate to lose,” Roshek said. “We weren’t prepared against Buena Vista and we got the short end of the stick on some bad reffing calls against Conifer. And against Niwot we were up 22-12 in the first game and ended up losing 25-23. We didn’t respond well from that.” Woodland Park has league matches this

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF SEPT. 15, 2014
ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) It might not be wise to pursue goals involving others, unless you can stop impulsively rejecting new ideas. Either open your mind or wait until next week, when this “ornery” mood passes. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) It’s a good time for the Bovine to be creative and practical for yourself and your surroundings. Shop wisely, not impulsively, and keep your Bull’s eye focused on quality, not quantity. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) You should feel more confident about moving ahead with plans that had to be delayed by an unexpected turn of events. Also, family matters might need more time than first anticipated.
crossword • sudoku & weekly horoscope
GALLERY OF GAMES
CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Be considerate of others as you move into a new area in your professional life. Take time to meet people and discuss mutual goals. The more you get to know each other, the better. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Creating a fuss could get your ideas noticed quickly. But it would be best to present your case, and then wait for a reaction to follow in due course, rather than try to force it to happen. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Unkept promises might cause plans to go awry this week. You can either grumble about people “letting you down” or find a way to make the best of it and move on. The choice is yours. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Putting off making a commitment early in the week could be a good move. Best to act when you know you’re making an informed decision. Expect more facts to emerge by the week’s end. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A recent act of kindness on your part could take on special meaning this week. Also, look for signs of upcoming changes in both your personal and professional relationships. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Many of the tougher communication barriers between you and others in the workplace or at home could begin breaking down this week. Expect some surprises to emerge. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Your “tough love” attitude toward someone you care for could be misunderstood. Try to be less judgmental and show more consideration in the way you relate to that person. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) An unexpected workplace challenge could be daunting. But take what you know (and you know more than you realize) and apply it to the problem, and you should see positive results. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Recent relationship changes for both single and paired Pisces continue to influence much of your week. Keep your focus on developing the positive aspects as you move along. BORN THIS WEEK: You set your goals with assurance and influence others to follow suit. You would be an excellent philosopher and teacher. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.
