Dungan promoted to captain Mill-levy increase boosts service By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews.com Robert Dungan earned his way up the ladder to be named captain last month at Northeast Teller County Fire Protection District. After all, not many firefighters in today’s world volunteer 48 hours, two 24hour shifts a week, for two years to cajole their way into a job. Dungan did just that in 1999. Persistence paid off, however, and Dungan was hired in 2001 as a firefighter\EMT. As the team’s new captain, he replaces Doug Koldenhoven, who retired. Dungan credits his teacher, Ed Kirtley, professor of fire science at Pikes Peak Community College, for igniting an inherent passion. “I was just eating it up,” he said, adding that he earned a firescience degree while volunteering at the department. Dungan’s rise through the ranks reflects the evolution of the industry and the people who fight fires. At the time of his volunteer training period, Dungan
was in construction with his father. “In the old days firefighters were construction workers, plumbers or tradesmen before they were firefighters,” he said. “We needed a good understanding of how buildings are put together. So I could take what I knew and do something exciting and make a huge difference.” However, construction is not firefighting. “It was a steep learning curve,” he said. “I could hardly roll a hose. I remember the crews getting so frustrated with me.” From aggravating at times to promotion to an engineer, Dungan eventually learned the ropes. At NETCO, which covers about 86 square miles, 60 percent of the calls are medical and responded to in conjunction with Ute Pass Ambulance District. On duty the day after Christmas, Dungan is easing into the new job, enjoying the break in emergencies. “We see an increase in calls during the holidays; I think it’s because people are doing things they normally wouldn’t do,” he said. “We have a big increase in suicide calls, especially

How are some ways City For Champions project will impact area? By Danny Summers
Dsummers@ourcoloradonews.com

s Colorado Springs truly a City For Champions? That propaganda has been splashed all over the news in recent weeks, but will the nearly $250 to $300 million project give the city, and the surrounding communities, the distinction that would set the Pikes Peak region apart from the rest of the state? “No more brand campaigns; no more hiding in the shadows of Peyton Manning’s Denver; no more telling the relatives in Nebraska, or Ohio, that Colorado Springs is a great place just to visit to see Pikes Peak, America’s Mountain, and ride the cog railway to the summit,” said Mike Moran, the chief spokesman for the United States Olympic Committee for 25 years. “Colorado Springs is now officially the City For Champions!” Moran believes that in time — less than 10 years — Colorado Spring “will be known and recognized by millions across the nation.” Moran was one of the loudest supporters of the City for Champions project. One of the key components that he lobbied for was a multi-million dollar professional baseball facility that would become home to the Colorado Springs Sky Sox. The Sky Sox have been the Triple-A affiliate of the Colorado Rockies since 1993. But Sky Sox ownership, namely Dave Elmore - a member of the Colorado Springs Sports Hall of Fame — was not keen about getting on board with the project. Elmore, after all, owns his own stadium — Security Service Field — in what used to be the remote Stetson Hill area of town off of Powers Boulevard. The Rockies, also, were not interested in dumping any money into the project, much less fundraising. According to the City for Champions proposal, there will be several huge benefits. Among them are 449,000 net new out-of-state visitors to Colorado annually; $6.9 billion in net new state retail sales over 30 years; $201.7 million in net new sales tax revenue over 30 years; more than $312 million in net new local sales tax revenue over 30 years; more than 750 new direct permanent jobs and more than 310 new construction jobs. Some of the specifics of the City For Champions project include a new $25 to $30 million Air Force Academy Visitors Center; a $59.4 million museum that would display Olympic exhibits and a $92.7 million Colorado Sports Event Center that would have a 10,000-seat outdoor stadium and a 3,000-seat indoor arena. The University of Colorado at Colorado Springs would get money toward a $27 million project that would include a state-of-the-art rehabilitation clinic. Air Force Academy officials have stated that they see groundbreaking on a new visitors center in two to three

Plans call for the Air Force Academy to build a new multi-million visitors center as part of the City for Champions project. years. The Academy will get about $6 to $8 million in state funds for the new visitors center. “They make up the historic package that will change the city’s image, impact and prestige like nothing else in history,” an enthusiastic Moran said. On Dec. 16, the Colorado Economic Development Commission approved an estimated $120.5 million over the next 30 years to help finance a package of four worldclass venues. “That will put the city in the same league as Indianapolis, Omaha, Oklahoma City and a handful of others that have blasted away old stereotypes and created, mostly
through sports and sport venues, sleek, modern images and made them top-drawer destinations for thousands of visitors and big-time sports events,” Moran said. Colorado Springs gained importance on a grander stage when USOC moved here in 1978. It had a staff of less than 25 people and a yearly budget of around $12 million. Today, the USOC is joined by more than two dozen National Governing Bodies contributing an annual economic impact to the city of over $300 million. The organizations employ more than 2,500 people. And while the U.S. Olympic Training Center is not located in the most ideal part of town (Boulder and Union), it still averages about 140,000 visitors annually. From a sports perspective alone, the city could experience an economic boom not seen in decades. Into the 1960s, Colorado Springs was known as “City of Millionaires” in large part because of the money that was made a century ago in mining and other industries unique to the region. Moran envisions Olympic Trials, Qualifiers, Playoffs and World Championship events that would draw thousands of athletes and spectators from around the country. In order to make the project a reality, however, a huge fundraising effort will have to take place over many months and years. The landscape of downtown Colorado Springs could change significantly in the next five years. Supporters still need to find other sources of financing to complement state funds. The projects must be started within five years and completed within a decade. Otherwise, the state will not award the money.

Library serves as the center of the community By Ashleigh Hollowell Contributing writer
The Oxford English Dictionary defines “library” as “a building or room containing collections of books, periodicals, and sometimes films and recorded music for people to read, borrow, or refer to.” Here in Woodland Park, however, it is much more than that. “It is so much more than a building; it is the center of the community. The library is here to reach out and meet the needs of everyone in the community and provide opportunity,” said Anne Knowles, Director of Woodland Park’s Public Library. Knowles has worked in libraries all across the country for more than 40 years, and has worked at the Woodland Park Public Library for 10 and a half. For two and a
half of those years, she has worked as the director. “The people are what make it so wonderful. The staff and our community members make the library what it is,” she said. The Woodland Park Public Library has been around since 1966, and first moved to the building where it is now located in November of 2003. Moving to a larger building has given the library more space to offer more to the community. Activities, programs, new resources and even a Lego club are just a few of the countless tools and events the Woodland Park Public Library offers to service the local community members. “It has been truly amazing. With the technology advancing, it gives us more opportunities to offer to the people. We have so many online resources and e-books

This program is extremely beneficial to Woodland Park Public Library and allows them to continue to offer as much as possible to the community despite recent lower property assessments that have resulted in less funding. As for the future of Woodland Park Public Library, Knowles sees only good things. “2014 is going to be a big year for the library. I can’t wait for the community to see what we have in store.” For more information about the Woodland Park Public Library and to learn more about the programs and events offered, visit www.rampart.colibraries.org.

We evolve with the technology. People will always have a reason to come to libraries. They are a forever place.” By offering a variety of programs, resources and events the library is able to involve members of all ages from the community. “Libraries are the only facility other than hospitals that service every age from newborns to the grave. Our motto is ‘Something for everyone!’ and we really live up to that I think,” Knowles said.

Lake George Charter School students get involved with community projects Says YES mitigates forest fuels with CUSP; Food drive nets 1,300 pounds By Sonja Oliver
Contributing Wrtier Lake George Charter School students have taken on fun and productive projects to help the communities of Teller and Park counties with a YES Club mitigation project and a food drive. Both projects impacted specific needs that were identified to benefit the local community so that the students could make a tangible difference in people’s lives. YES Club members from the Lake George Charter School engaged in a community environmental project with the Coalition for the Upper South Platte to help an elderly couple with a mitigation project on their property located near the Eleven Mile Reservoir. YES is an acronym for the Colorado Springs-based Catamount Institute’s Young Environmental Stewards program and is a science-based program designed for fourth and fifth grade students where students study riparian (near water) ecosystems. The YES program combines environmental science, community service, technology and leadership in a hands-on after-school program designed to get students excited about science Students engage in exploring plants, insects, wild animals and human relationships to water through handson science experiments, guest speakers, field trips, and research. According to their website, Catamount Institute’s programs seek to “heighten the community’s awareness of environmental and sustainability issues in order to inspire ecological stewardship.” Although Lake George students don’t attend school on Fridays because of a four-day instruction week, eight fourth- and fifth-grade club members and their families worked from 9:30 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. on Nov. 15 as volunteers on a CUSP mitigation project. The Lake George-based CUSP coordinated the effort as a forest restoration project to increase forest health and resiliency to disease, insects and fire. Mitigation reduces forest fuels to protect the community from catastrophic fire. The project included volunteers moving piles of tree slash for chipping, with CUSP providing the chipper and the crew who operated the equipment. Fourth- and fifth-grade science teacher Kathy Reimer assists students in selecting the projects and coordinates the activities. “This (school year) we’ve been studying wildland fire ecology,” Reimer said. Students learned about ladder fuels, what mitigation is, how to mitigate and how to make property more easily defensible from the standpoint of facing a fire “so that the firemen can get in and do their jobs,” Reimer said. The students selected the mitigation project so they could help someone in the community. “They wanted to give to somebody who really needed help,” Reimer said. For five hours the group of 19 volunteers carried limbs and branches from slash piles scattered throughout the property to where CUSP staff were operating the chipper. Some of the terrain was very steep which made the task of moving the brush a strenuous operation, according to CUSP volunteer coordinator Lisa Patton.
YES Club participants from Lake George Charter School teamed up with CUSP staff and volunteers to help with a mitigation project for community residents. Photo by Sonja Oliver “There were some tough slopes to navigate and (the students and family member volunteers) were some incredible troopers,” Patton said. CUSP has worked with Lake George students for many years in service learning projects Patton said, calling the school’s participation “instrumental” in their volunteer efforts with CUSP. Last fall, the students had the opportunity to participate along with other local clubs working on the South Platte River in-stream restoration service project at the Happy Meadows Campground, just off Park County Rd. 77. In Teller and Park counties, YES Club involvement includes fourth- and fifth-grade students from Cresson Elementary, Summit Elementary and Columbine Elementary. Although this most recent project is just one of many efforts to maintain or restore an ecosystem, Patton says “every effort matters.” “We are very grateful for their help and enthusiasm. The whole county, surrounding counties and entire state benefits from mitigation projects like these. Fire does not respect property lines,” Patton said. Reimer said the students came away from the project with a sense of accomplishment and a healthy respect for hard work. “It was so neat for us to come together as a group and accomplish things that help the community and environment,” Reimer said.The students recently attended a YES

conference in Denver to share what they learned with YES participants from schools throughout the state. In another community-oriented project, the Lake George Charter School Student Council held a food collection drive involving the entire student community who collected 1,300 pounds of non-perishable food. The school’s student council chose and coordinated the effort as their first community service project for the year. Students had a timeframe from Nov. 4 through Nov. 19 to bring in food intended for donations at various pantries. “In 10 days, the kids collected 1,300 pounds,” said student council advisor and fifth- grade teacher Suzan Steinke. Because of the four-day school week, participants had only 10 school days to accomplish the task. With the promise of a pizza party for the winners, the competition became fierce between the classrooms with even the parents getting involved. Food donations from each class were weighed, and the class whose contributions weighed the most won the lunchtime pizza party. Fourth-grade students from Kathy Reimer’s class grade won first place with 311 pounds of food donated. Thirdgrade students in Cheryl Kuntz class came in at a very close second place with 301 pounds and Steinke’s fifthgrade students won third place with 181 pounds. Following the contest and just in time for the Thanksgiving holiday, students helped with loading the food into cars destined for the two organizations selected as beneficiaries. Of the 1,300 pounds of food, 1,150 lbs was given to the Divide Food Pantry at Little Chapel in Divide with the remaining balance donated to the Community Cupboard in Woodland Park. Steinke said that the students understood that even though (the food collection drive) was a competition between classrooms the real winners were “the needy families.” The pizza party for the winners was held on Dec. 5. “It’s always good for (students) to learn how to give back to the community,” Steinke said.

around Christmas to New Year’s.” Most of the suicide calls are from spouses or friends, he said. “We go out and try to help,” Dungan said. “It’s tough, because I lost a friend to suicide. I had to run that call.” With the latest promotion, Dungan is right where he wants to be. “My crew and my chief (Tyler Lambert), who was my mentor all along, the captains I’ve worked under, it’s just the fact that everybody here has placed so much trust in me,” he said. “My promotion is an honor and I’m really thankful.” Dungan and his wife Danielle have two children, Keegan Hayman, 10, and Kiana, 8. With the voters’ approval of a mill levy increase last year, from 9.42 to 13.182 mills, the department sends crews of five to each call, has replaced a ladder and purchased a new engine for $600,000.

Joiner tells tales of corruption in Louisiana By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews.com Of crime and corruption, greed and graft, “Badge of Dishonor” exposes a scandal that occurred at the highest level of the police department from 1962 and 1976 in Shreveport, La. Written by Jere Joiner, former government reporter for the Pikes Peak Courier newspaper, the narrative is the author’s story as a former police officer who worked under George D’Artois, Shreveport’s Commissioner of Public Safety. D’Artois was ultimately convicted of murder and public corruption. “The reason for the book is to tell the story of what happens when there is a lack of accountability in government; and when the bright light of day doesn’t shine on government,” Joiner said. “Law enforcement is a part of government.” Because most of the main players are still alive, Joiner took some risk in releasing the book this month. “I’m only worried about one person who probably won’t like what I had to say,” he said. “But that’s part of being a writer, a reporter.” Almost as an aside, Joiner nonetheless emphasizes the role of the media in exposing dastardly deeds by elected officials. “I hope people will pay attention and the media, of course, because the media are the watchdogs for society,” he said. “The media represent the little people, not the big people in power, in government. We don’t have that in Washington, D.C.; we have a supine press.” While the corruption of George D’Artois and the scandal is now legendary in Shreveport, the story remains relevant today, a not-so-subtle reminder of the officials who trade honesty for power. “Lord Acton said ‘Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely,’” Joiner said. By the time it was all over, one reporter/ advertising executive, Jim Leslie, had been murdered and the owners of the newspaper and the local television station were exposed as pawns of the public-safety

Photo by Pat Hill commissioner. The story takes place in a time “when cops ruthlessly enforced separation of the races,” Joiner writes in the introduction. “The n-word won’t be found, even though it was all-too-common expression when whites referred to blacks.” Joiner stayed out of trouble and worked for three more years after D’Artois’ fall from grace, retiring as a captain of the De-
tective Division. He and his wife, Connie, moved to Colorado Springs in 1979 where he worked as an intelligence officer for El Paso County Sheriff’s office before being promoted to captain of the Detective Division. He retired in 1986 when the Joiners moved to Divide. Today they are back in Colorado Springs. The book meets Joiner’s goal of empha-

opinions / yours and ours
It depends on where the light bulb is A new year reminds me of the process of changing a light bulb. Out with the old, in with the new. Simple. That is, depending on where the light bulb is, and how you have to change it. Many years ago, at one place I worked, the light fixtures were dropped three feet on swinging wire from 25-foot ceiling. There was a balcony all the way around the long narrow building at about the 12foot level. That balcony had a four-foot rail or banister all the way around with top of that being made from a regular 2-by-6”. To change a light bulb in that place, we had to stretch out a homemade cross platform across from banister to banister.
The platform was made from two 12-foot, 2-by-4s” with a 3/4”plywood base in the center between them. A person had to shinny out on the platform and unscrew the large glass globes to get to the bulb.
So there you were, 20 feet up from the hardwood floor, on a narrow platform made out of two boards and a piece of plywood, with one hand holding the exterior globe, one hand to hold on to the platform, and one hand trying to change the bulb (yes, I know that is three hands) and customers and other employees below — all with ample measures of advice and cautionary description of what you would look like if you fell from that height. Amazingly, you eventually reached a comfort level where it didn’t really bother you to change those bulbs. Or you didn’t bother to change them. Such is memory. Warren Kliewer wrote,
“Time passes and you accumulate a storehouse of memories. More time passes and you discover that looking up a long-lost friend is as interesting as making a new one, that revisiting a dreary neighborhood where you once lived is as stimulating as exploring a new place…I used to marvel at older people. ‘Why do they wallow in nostalgia?’ I wondered. I no longer regard it as frivolous.” In the New Year, I wish you good memories — and good luck with any light bulbs you must change. May the next year be all at ground level and a simple exchange — out with the old, in with the new.
Hope springs eternal with the start of the new year It’s here. The year 2014. And just like the experts predicted 40 years ago, the average person will be flying around the Pikes Peak region with the aid of jet packs, cruising over bodies of water on hover boards and flying to the moon in rocket ships. It’s funny how those bold predictions never came to fruition. None-the-less, hope springs eternal with the start of each new year. It’s interesting how people of nearly all ages and sizes are a little more optimistic when January 1 rolls around. You see it everywhere you go. The gymnasiums are packed with people. Businesses roll out new marketing schemes to attract new customers. Schoolage children vow to get straight ‘A’s.’ That same sort of optimism happens with baseball teams and their fans. It’s about this point of the year that all 30 major league teams believe they have an equal chance to win the next World Series. It’s odd how it works that way in base-
ball; more so than with any other sport. It doesn’t matter what happened the previous season or seasons. It matters little that your organization has had a history of losing. Even the fans seem to forget over the course of the fall and winter just how bad things got. They believe, just like the players, manager, coaches, owner and media outlets covering the team that “This just might be our year.” Usually, however, eight weeks into the season reality sets in for most teams and the dream of winning the World Series is

put on hold for at least another season. It’s sort of that way with our New Year’s resolutions. Many of us aspire to work out at the gym every day and replace 40 pounds of fat with 20 pounds of muscle. We pull out those size (fill in the blank) jeans and vow that were are going to fit into them no matter how much sweat and tears and starvation it takes. Some of us even buy swimsuits and clothes that we can’t presently fit in as motivation to chip away at our goals. But just like those baseball teams that seem to lose every year, when we feel defeated we tend to lose hope. So what’s it going to take to stay on task? Not just for a month or two, but for the rest of the year? The rest of our lives? In the 1991 comedy movie “What About Bob?” starring Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfuss, a psychiatric patient (played by Murray) regains his confidence and transitions back into society by taking baby steps. Dreyfuss, who plays Murray’s psychiatrist, wrote a book called “Baby
Steps” that Murray follows to the letter. By the end of the movie, Murray not only accomplishes his goal of breaking free from his chains, but he excels in his new world. Dreyfuss, in fact, ends up in a psychiatric hospital, largely due to the fact he has lost control of Murray. Baby steps just might be the best way for us to accomplish our 2014 goals. For me it’s losing weight and getting back into those size 34 jeans. I’ve worked out at the gym pretty much every day for 10 years, but I’ve also gained numerous inches and a lot of pounds along the way. Perhaps I need to take a different approach to my workout regimen and diet? I likely will lose my motivation if I don’t see serious results from the pain. But if I take baby steps and am content with losing four to five pounds a month, perhaps that will motivate me to stay with my plan. After all, the loss of five pounds a month equals 60 for the year. Watch out Kevin Costner, here I come.
Stretching the season I specifically mean the tourist season. Before World War II, the primary source of income in the area were the tourists. In places like Manitou, and even as far as Cripple Creek, the tourist dollar was most important. Businesses opened in the spring, and closed in the fall. Except for a few residents, many of these little towns were closed in the winter. This was long before the ski industry started. Even Aspen and Breckenridge were ghost towns in the winter. My experiences on Pikes Peak before they started going up there all year are only the most extreme in this area, but they make for great stories. The season is considered at least Memorial Day to Labor Day. As a teacher, I do not remember ever working where summer vacation was controlled by those dates. Anyway, back to Pikes Peak. The railroad, even 100 years ago, tried to open as early as possible, and stay open late into winter. The weather here, if you have been here less than a year, can be quite different. Our winters are at their worst in the months December until March, but not always. We can have serious storms as early as September and as late as May. The railroad, under normal weather, tried to open in late April or May. They usually did their heavy train repair and maintenance starting in February or March, followed by snow clearing. Before they had a big snow blower, it would usually take a month. With a mild winter they often started going up in March, and were shocked in May by a really big storm! A spring storm of around 8 feet of snow is

not unusual. Pushing the end of the season was rare. Often big storms in September and October would close the mountain. The road usually closed first. Occasionally the weather stayed nice until this time of year. They sometimes made it to December. In the early days of the road, there were two summit houses, one for the road and another for the railroad. Both buildings had crews that lived on the summit, day and night, through the season. Between the holidays was the most intense. On more than one occasion, year-end storms closed the mountain stranding crews on the summit. The snow plow on the railroad would go up followed by a passenger train to rescue the crews. The summit houses had hotel rooms and dining facilities, and usually plenty of food, so rescues did not have to be immediate. The Adaman Club, on their annual hike and fireworks, has access to the present summit house. Sleeping on the floor while they wait to go down, if it storms sometimes happens. There have been trains on the summit on New Year’s Eve Day, but not during the fireworks. They shoot them where the train parks! MaiL, e-MaiL or fax to:

Why not focus on building health? Let’s start off the New Year by learning a new word … “Salutogenesis” and perhaps, a new way to approach health. The word has its origin from the Latin word salus meaning “health” and the Greek word genesis meaning “origin” translating to “the origin of health.” The January 2014 issue of Mayo Clinic Health Letter poses the question, “Why not focus on building health, instead of just fighting disease?” The article suggests that embracing the concept of salutogenesis turns the focus to what factors in one’s life supports health and well-being, rather than what causes disease. The founder of this theory is the late Aaron Antonosky, an Israeli American academician and medical sociologist, who examined the relationship between stress, health and well-being. He began his work on salutogenesis after studying the narratives of Holocaust survivors surprisingly finding that 29 percent of the women who survived internment in concentration camps were not emotionally damaged by
the experience. Antonosky began exploring what factors allow people to maintain good health, despite finding themselves in extremely difficult circumstances. What accounts for the difference that some people succumb to life’s stressors, while others don’t. The two core concepts of the salutogenesis theory are “the sense of coherence” and “generalized resistance resources.” The concept of generalized resistance resources focuses on having the resources that help you structure your life. These resources are comprised of not just tangible
things like money and housing but knowledge, skills, life experiences, intelligence, social support and traditions. The sense of coherence is the ability to comprehend the whole of a stressful situation and the capacity to use your resources to address it. In other words, being able to make sense of the world and the situation you find yourself in and use the whole of your life’s resources to respond. Antonosky identified three childhood experiences that shape one’s ability to comprehend stressful situations. One is that life has a certain predictability … that it can be understood. The second is the importance of having sufficient resources to manage personal challenges. And the third is that it’s worth the energy to address life’s challenges because your life makes sense and has meaning. Salutogenesis is of particular importance in maintaining health during the aging process. Betty Davis is credited with saying, “Getting old ain’t for sissies.”
However, the experts at the Mayo Clinic suggest that aging is an ongoing and ever-changing process and it’s generally not helpful to dwell only on possible or existing health challenges. Instead, they say living life in the moment can be very helpful in dealing with a sudden health crises or coming to terms with living with a chronic condition. The World Health Organization offers a definition of health that you may want to embrace in the coming year … “Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity.” Perhaps, this is the year you focus on building health, instead of just fighting disease. May you have a salutogenesis 2014. Cord Prettyman is a certified Master Personal Trainer and the owner of Absolute Workout Fitness and Post-Re-hab Studio in Woodland Park. He can be reached at 6877437 or cordprettyman@msn.com.
Looking toward the future at the library With the holidays past us, often we look to the future and set our New Year’s resolutions. Some of the most commonly set resolutions are to get fit, lose weight, eat healthier, and manage stress. Starting in January, the Rampart Library District will be focusing in on ways to help you achieve these common goals. A new program series will begin on Jan. 10 for adults called the Get Active Series. There will be three programs, one each week, that will focus on indoor fitness programs. The first will be focused on the dance fitness program Zumba. The Woodland Park Parks and Recreation department has lent us their Zumba instructor, Sharron Johnson, to talk about what Zumba is, who does Zumba, and to demonstrate some simple Zumba moves. If you have always wondered what Zumba is all about, stop by on Jan. 10 at 2 p.m. in the Woodland Park Library’s large meeting room to learn more. On Jan. 17 at 2 p.m., the Get Active Series will continue with a look at the
practice of yoga with instructor Nancy Stannard. Stannard will talk about the history of yoga, who does yoga, different types of yoga and demonstrate some simple yoga poses. Finally, the series will conclude on Jan. 24 at 2 p.m. with a look at Tai Chi. A presentation will be given on the beginnings of Tai Chi and demonstrations will be done by the popular Woodland Park Tai Chi group. If you would rather learn about these fitness programs on your own, you can always view one of our many instructional
videos available for check-out from either the Woodland Park Public Library or the Florissant Public Library. We also have many books available that detail the history and health benefits of these and other fitness programs as well as instructions on how to get started. Also in January, we will continue to offer basic computer classes at both the Woodland Park Public Library and the Florissant Public Library. In addition to the usual classes, we will offer two new classes. In January, there will be a Facebook 101 class to help all of you already signed up with a Facebook account become more familiar with what you can do and how to be responsible Facebook users. In February, we will offer a Resume Basics class. In this class you will learn what should and
shouldn’t be on a resume and how to put together a solid job application packet to help you land the job. Both of these new classes will only be offered in Woodland Park. Other programs offered will be storytimes on Wednesday and Thursday mornings in Woodland Park at 10:15 a.m. and in Florissant on Thursday mornings at 10:30 a.m. Florissant’s themes for January will be Snowflakes, Shimmy & Shake, Shapes, Seals, and Shoes & Socks. Florissant will begin to have a dance party at each of their storytimes in January and Woodland Park will try out yoga at some of their storytimes. Woodland Park Public Library’s popular Lego club will also continue to meet on Friday afternoons from 3 to 5 p.m.

Wilson felt energized by Irish music By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews.com
A
s a traveler in a foreign land, Karilynn Wilson felt a sense of spiritual connection with the people of Ireland for whom music is an expression of sorrow as well as joy. “Everywhere I went I could hear tunes songs or tunes in my head,” she said. “Because there is music written about every place you go in Ireland.” Vocalist who plays the flute, Irish drum and penny whistle for the Celtic band, Ceol Ceili, Wilson recently toured southern Ireland, source of the “ceili,” the Gaelic word for a community gathering. Wilson and her husband, Rick Wilson, of Woodland Park were accompanied by their friends Julie and Derek Reid of Green Mountain Falls. With photos and a map, Wilson recounts the journey through a country with lyrical names, ancient burial grounds, music festivals and always, the ceili. At the Kyteleter’s Inn in Kilkenny on the River Liffey, Wilson became one with the natives in a debut appearance preceded by crossed fingers. “I was nervous; I brought my instruments and wanted to try and play some music,” she said. “So I got brave, not knowing what to expect or how I would be treated.” As luck would have it, her break-through included playing with a well-known Irish musician Anthony McCauley. “I played my drum and sang a lot; Anthony accompanied me,” she said. Absorbing the culture, Wilson continued her musical connection with the Irish. “It’s these little personal neighborhood sessions that I loved the most,” she said. In Dingle, where world-famous musicians gather annually to play music in the pubs, Wilson sang with children from the Gaeltacht school. “They teach the kids to speak Celtic; this is their local session in the midst of all the professionals,” she said. “It was just very cool, with wall-towall people. This was my big gift.” In Doolin, amid the Cliffs of Mohr, Wilson sang along with the locals. “This place was packed. There were people getting up and singing songs, playing instruments and the whole pub would sing along,” she said. “Somebody would get up and tell a story in rhyme and it’ll be funny. Everybody’s performing.” Back home in Woodland Park, Wilson reflects on the trip and its meaning to Ceol Ceili. “When I went to Ireland and listened to what people were playing, it so reinforced what we do here as a band,” she said. “And it just really encouraged me. I just felt, I don’t know, more confident in what we’re doing.” Wilson and Steve Hart are the original members of the band that recently added Cyndi Fallon and Roy Jackson. “We have a great mix right now and are coming in to a time of renewed inspiration and energy. I think going to Ireland really helped me with that.”

Players optimistic heading into break Woodland Park is 1-8 By Danny Summers
Dsummers@ourcoloradonews.com The Woodland Park boys’ basketball team hit the Christmas break with a 6936 loss at Discovery Canyon on Dec. 20 to drop to 1-8. While the score was one-sided, the Panthers left the gym with optimism and hope. “From where we started to where we’ve come is a big step,” said Woodland Park junior guard/forward Dakota Herman. “We didn’t play summer (ball) together because we didn’t have enough people come out, and then to come on the court (this fall) with 10 new guys you’ve never played with, it takes a lot of getting to know each other.” Herman had his best game of the season against Discovery Canyon, scoring a team-high 12 points on 3 of 9 shooting. He converted 5 of 6 free throws and pulled down five rebounds, which was tied for second on the team with junior forward Sam Hopfe. Sophomore Cecil Cox led the team with eight rebounds. “Our ability run the floor and our physicality will be a key for us this season,” Herman said. “We’re higher in elevation than all the schools in (Colorado) Springs, so we have to take advantage of that. “Because of our size we’re not going to jump through the roof against pretty much anybody we play,” Herman said. “We have to be able run with them keep up with them and make our own pace. We make the pace, not whoever we’re playing.” Panthers’ sophomore guard Dominic Cunico was unavailable for a big chunk of the game against Discovery Canyon after hitting the floor hard after a collision with a Thunder player early in the third quarter. Cunico was shaken up, but avoided serious injury.
“I hit everything (on my body),” Cunico said with a grin. “He jumped and pulled me down and there wasn’t anything I could do about it.” Cunico, a shooting guard, has been a bright spot. The first-year varsity player is averaging 8.0 points per game, which ranks second on the team to Hopfe’s 9.1. “We’re coming together more as a team communication wise,” said Cunico, who had a high game of 25 points against Dolores Huerta Prep on Dec. 7. “The more we communicate the more successful we’ll be.” Cunico is among several sophomores and juniors who are seeing considerable playing time this season. While he hopes the Panthers can find more wins after the break, he is looking forward to the coming years when he and the team gains valuable experience. “Once we get into our senior year it should be good,” Cunico said. Another sophomore who seems to be getting better with each game is point guard Trey Byers. He had six points - his season average - against Discovery Canyon. “I need to work on having less turnovers and we need to keep coming together more as a team,” said Byers, who has scored a season-high 11 points in a game twice this year. “We’re getting to click and we’re seeing improvement. We just need to play more.” The Panthers’ victory came over Salida, 48-33, on Dec. 16. Hopfe scored a careerhigh 19 points as he converted 8 of 19 field goal attempts. He also had a career-high 16 rebounds. Woodland Park returns to action Jan. 4 with a non-conference home game against Vanguard (2-5) at 4 p.m. It hosts Calhan (04) on Jan. 11 and then opens Class 4A Metro League action Jan. 14 at home against Sierra (1-5).
Big changes on the horizon for high school teams playing down a classification By Danny Summers
Dsummers@ourcoloradonews.com There appears to be a very good chance that the Colorado High School Activities Association (CHSAA) will change the bylaws allowing teams that are playing down a classification to compete in the postseason. Under the proposed change, teams playing down a classification will not be eligible for the postseason in their respective sport. The proposal is among many that will be addressed at the Jan. 30 council meeting in Aurora. The news comes a little late for several football coaches, athletic directors and principals in the Class 3A South Central Football League who were unhappy that Coronado was able to compete in the postseason this year. The Cougars, playing down from 4A for the fourth consecutive year, won their first state football championship with a 28-24 win over Silver Creek on the last day of November. Woodland Park lost to Coronado, 26-9, on Oct. 18. The Panthers trailed by five points with four minutes to play in the third quarter. Woodland Park had four turnovers and was outgained almost two to one on offense. PANTHERS GIRLS 2-7 ON BASKETBALL COURT The Woodland Park girls’ basketball team dropped to 2-7 with a 70-20 loss to Denver East on Dec. 20. Denver East led 41-7 at halftime. The Panthers return to action Jan. 4 when they host Vanguard in a 2 p.m. start. Vanguard is 6-1 and is led by first-year coach Larry Blondin. Woodland Park has four players averaging better than five points per game; Katie Stunkard (8.0), Lexie Comer (7.5), Jeannette Worscheck (7.1) and Darian SanFelice (5.5).

‘It’s a Small World’ performed Lake George Charter School celebrates ‘A World of Christmas’ By By Sonja Oliver Contributing writer Lake George Charter School students brought their audience with them as they journeyed around the world to celebrate Christmas. The auditorium was filled to capacity with over 300 parents, family and community members attending at the school’s annual winter music program, held on Dec. 12. Both educational and entertaining, the program was centered around the festive music and traditions of Christmas and the cultures and histories of different countries observing the birth of Christ. The program was MC’d by tour guides principal Bill Fredenburg and teacher Cheryl Kuhtz who interspersed their performance with interesting facts, anecdotes and humor. Under the direction of music teacher Deanna Daniel, students displayed their musical talents through songs, dance, drama, piano and a theme that asks the question: “What do all of these symbols and traditions surround-
Lake George Charter School preschool students sang “It’s a Small World” at the school’s winter arts and music program that featured Christmas celebrations around the world in “A World of Christmas.” Photo by Sonja Oliver ing Christmas mean?” and answering the question to “What is Figgie Pudding?” The origins of songs, such as the “Boar’s Head Carol,” “Silent Night” and an explanation of each of the gifts in the “Twelve Days of Christmas” was informative to many in the audience who have sung or heard those songs, perhaps over a lifetime, yet never knew their meanings. The “true love” of the line “my
true love gave to me” refers to God. The “partridge in the pear tree” is Jesus and the cross, and so on. According to some sources, the song was written by a priest as a teaching aid to children when Catholicism was outlawed in 16th century England. Another Christmas song, “Silent Night” was composed in 1818 by Fr. Franz Xaver Gruber with lyrics by Joseph Mohr. It was performed during midnight mass

on Christmas Eve at St. Nicholas parish church in Austria using a guitar as accompaniment because mice had chewed a hole in the organ bellows. Students played piano, rang bells and sang out songs from representative countries throughout the world including: England, Canada, Mexico, France, Scandinavia, Austria, Germany Russia, Africa and the United States. The audience was introduced
to Christmas customs and traditions of other cultures; for example Russia’s “Grandfather Frost and Angel Uballe- the Pure White Maiden, and were treated to student of Russian heritage Vance Thompson’s performance of a Russian dance. “The Huron Carol” the first Canadian Christmas carol was written in 1642 by Jean de Brebeuf to communicate Christmas and the gospel to the Huron Indian tribe. And it is well-known that, among other traditions, Germany gave western culture the Christmas tree. As for ‘What is figgy pudding?’ It’s a traditional English dessert that is also known as Christmas Pudding and is made with fruits, nuts, breads and brandies. The program’s finale ended in celebration of hope and joy with two songs, the contemporary “Light the Candles All Around the World” by Teresa Jennings and the traditional “Joy to the World” by Isaac Watts. “Light the candles around the world Pray the light will never cease Till the nations of the world Take each other’s hand in peace and show the way Make the night as bright as day And light the candles around the world”

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Your energy levels are high, and you feel you can handle everything that comes along. But try to take a break from your hectic pace for some quiet time with someone close to you. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Before you pounce on that shiny new opportunity, take more time to check it out to see how much substance actually lies beneath all that glitter. A family member has important news. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) A personal situation you thought was resolved resurfaces, thanks to a possibly well-intentioned move that went awry. Deal with it as soon as possible. Accept the help of a trusted friend. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) That goal you set way back when is finally in sight. Maintain your focus on achieving it, and don’t allow yourself to be distracted by unimportant demands for your attention. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A temperamental flareup creates negative feelings that need to be dealt with immediately. But things once again go well after the apologies are made and hurt feelings are soothed. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) An early impulsive act causes confusion. But all is smoothed over once explanations are made. Expect a friend or family member to ask for your kind and always wise advice. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) You might have to do some juggling of your priorities, as a personal matter appears to require more time and attention. Put your pride aside and accept help from those who offer it. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Your creative aspect is strong. Not only does it help you accomplish your goals, but it also inspires others. This could lead to a potentially rewarding collaboration opportunity. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Be careful about making major decisions when you’re not really committed to them. And resist any pressure to do otherwise. Better to delay action until all doubts are resolved. BORN THIS WEEK: You set goals and are rarely distracted by any attempt to move you off the path you’ve chosen to reach them. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

She got the bright idea to borrow some sidewalk chalk from the center and started writing the positive message on the sidewalks. People would stop and read what was written and each week there would be new messages. From there, Michele wrote the messages on cards. Today her friends Emma and Lara help color and tape the cards after she writes the messages so that they are readily available to hand out. Asked if someone inspired her to be so positive, Michele replied, “It’s always been there; I believe that positive messages can make people’s lives better even if they don’t know where the messages came from. There’s always good somewhere.”
