Cloud City introduces Green Box By Pat Hill

phill@ourcoloradonews.com A hullabaloo and yowzah! experience for the residents of Green Mountain Falls, the 20-ton sculpture with 16 modules is guaranteed to be the biggest thing that ever hit town. A gift from the town’s benefactor, Christian Keesee, the aluminum sculpture launches the Green Box Arts Festival, which begins June 23. Founder of the festival in 2007, Keesee continues to surprise audiences with a rich variety of culture, including theater, art and sculpture, dance, literature, the culinary arts, photography and jewelry. But Cloud City is the ultimate, to date. “The sculpture reflects what the clouds look

Assembly for the 20-ton, 16-module sculpture, is a three-day process for the crew that hauled the “Cloud City” sculpture from the rooftop of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan to Green Mountain Falls. The sculpture, by Tomas Saraceno, is part of the Green Box Arts Festival, whose founder and owner of the aluminum sculpture is Christian Keesee, a part-time resident of the mountain community. The festival is from June 23 to July 3, and the piece will be on display until July 13. Photo by Pat Hill

like,” said Graham Stewart, architect for the project who traveled with the piece from New York City to Green Mountain Falls. Eight full-size semis, two modules each, carried the clouds into town the week of June 3. Visitors are invited to meander in the interactive piece through the platforms and staircases to view the landscape from each of the 12 x 12-foot aluminum modules. “The piece reflects the environment from all different angles,” Stewart said. The sculpture is by Tomas Saraceno of Argentina. “Saraceno pushed the limits of the uses of materials, takes them to a different level,” Stewart said. “Cloud City” is free and open to the public from 1 to 7 p.m. during the festival June 23 to July 3, with an extension for viewing until July 13. For visitors not able to maneuver the platforms, there is a virtual tour available at the Green Box campus office on Lake Street. This year’s festival artists include the Colorado Springs Youth Symphony, folk band Haunted Wind Chimes, fiddler Kyle Dillingham, dance performers Keigwin + Company and Pulitzer Prize winner Blake Bailey. The entire schedule is available at www. greenboxarts.org.

Capitol Dome project links to Teller County By Pat Hill

phill@ourcoloradonews.com With gold mined in Teller County, the Capitol Dome in Denver is being restored with a donation of 72 ounces of gold from the Cripple Creek & Victor Mining Co. According to Jane Mannon, community affairs manager for CC&V, the price of gold at the time of the donation, September 2011, was $1,500 an ounce. “They send the pure gold bars to Italy where they make the gold leaf,” Mannon said. “There is nobody in the United States who makes gold leaf anymore.” The project includes removing most of the copper and gold elements from the building, which have been damaged from more than 100 years of weather, including the freeze-thaw cycle of Colorado climate. “We are repairing the plaster under the gold dome to better support the watertight system that will create the new copper and gold dome on the Capitol,” said Chris Derington, restoration superintendent with GH Phipps Construction. The Capitol, an architectural landmark built in 1908, was adorned with gold donated by past owners of the same mine in Teller County. Currently covered with a white shrink wrap plastic, the lower and upper drums have been sandblasted to remove all of the previous layers of paint. Three coats of high-performance paint have been applied, Derington said. “All of the windows from the upper portion of the building have been removed and sent off site to be stripped of paint, repainted and reinstalled as the scaffold is being removed from the building,” he said. In a ceremony at 11:45 a.m. June 18, the gold is scheduled to be turned over to Gov. John Hickenlooper. According to Mannon, CC & V employees will gather in a line on the Capitol stairs before the ceremony.

The Colorado Capitol building in Denver is wrapped in scaffolding and covered with scrim, the white shrink plastic, in preparation for a coat of gold. Gold from Cripple Creek & Victor Mining will be turned over to Gov. John Hickenlooper during a ceremony at the Capitol on June 18. Photo by Pat Hill Application of the gold leaf is scheduled to begin in August and is expected to take several months. “Most of it is gold leaf in a roll 65 feet long,” Mannon said. The last phase of the restoration is sandblasting and painting the base of the drum, repairing and reinstalling the windows. The Dome continues on Page 14

Green Mountain Falls board goes at it Mayor’s web postings anger several trustees By Pat Hill

phill@ourcoloradonews.com Bad blood between Green Mountain Falls’ Mayor Lorrie Worthey and five of six trustees came to a head June 4 over the town’s electronic-media policy. At issue is the mayor’s use of her Facebook account as well as her blog to offer personal opinions, and in some postings, stir up controversy. In reviewing the resolution, Trustee Margaret Peterson highlighted the issues that concern the board. “Don’t post things that were said in executive session. Don’t stir the pot. Don’t put only half of the story on there,” she said. “I think that’s the gist of where the policy needs to go.” From there, the meeting descended into a rant, with four of the trustees calling out the mayor for her social-media postings. As Worthey struggled to control the meeting, gavel in hand, Mayor Pro Tem Jane Newberry led the charge. “You certainly have every right to put everything you want on your blo,g but I would respectfully ask that you take down ‘Green Mountain Falls Mayor,’” she said. With the “mayor” moniker, Worthey represents the town, Newberry added. “And I personally have been hurt and offended at the conjectures; I’m tired of going to the post office, the grocery

Communication seems to be at the heart of a rift between Green Mountain Falls trustees and Mayor Lorrie Worthey. New electronic media policy was approved by the board 5-1 and includes the stipulation that social-media users are personally responsible for the content of their electronic postings. Photo by Rob Carrigan store or getting phone calls in the middle of the night having people telling me what horrible things are said about me when I really spend a lot of time and effort on the town,” Newberry said. “I think it’s a shame we need to put rules in place to ‘play well with others.’” While Newberry has said she doesn’t personally read Worthey’s blog, others have and report the postings.

Trustee Margaret Peterson was next, referring to the postings and chain of replies. “I’m the new person here but I’ve already been hit with it. Hey, stop with the pitchfork, stop with the mentality of us not being good people,” she said. “I don’t like being judged about the job I’m doing here by people who don’t know me. I’m here to represent the town, am a secondgeneration council member.”

Trustee Tyler Stevens stayed away from controversy, only expressing concern about creating more paperwork with more policies. On the other hand, Trustee Howard Price jumped in, addressing his remarks to the board. “I don’t like personal attacks. Freedom of speech is one thing, personal attack is another. I will be happy to explain to anybody

about why I vote the way I do.” Worthey responded. “I’m telling you right now, we cannot censure people simply for what they say,” she said. “I know that this policy is directed at my Facebook and my blog and I want to go on record tonight that I will continue to express my opinion. That is my First Amendment right.” She continued. “If you continue to censure me then I will be the most censured mayor in the state of Colorado,” she said. “But I am not going to stop.” After all the rancor and verbal shots, the board voted 5-1 to adopt the policy, which includes the stipulation that social-media users are personally responsible for the content of their electronic postings. In voting to oppose the motion, Worthey said, “No. No way.” The policy makes clear that a website will be the official site for the town. “There will be an official Green Mountain Falls website and you will get lots of information on that,” Price said. By the next morning, Worthey had changed her moniker from “mayor” to “citizen” and included a posting that the board had failed to approve a request from Police Chief Tim Bradley for a service dog for the department. Several negative comments about the denial followed Worthey’s posting. Still bruised over the meeting the night before, Worthey said, “This is the 21st century. Mayors all over the place are using social media. To try and censure and limit communication by social media is ridiculous.”

On a sunny, breezy Colorado morning, soldiers, family members, and community members from Woodland Park said farewell to the 4th Engineer Battalion as they depart for Afghanistan for a scheduled 9-month tour. On May 31 Mayor Dave Turley, County Commissioner Norm Steen, Chamber Board Chair Luke Conrad of Benchmark Mortgage, Chamber President Debbie Miller, and City Manager David Buttery were honored to represent Woodland Park at the casing ceremony of the Battalion’s colors. The Battalion flag is rolled up and “cased” symbolizing that they are leaving their headquarters at Fort Carson and the colors will be “uncased” upon arrival in Afghanistan symbolizing the establishment of their new headquarters there. Lieutenant Colonel Dan Hibner spoke sincerely of his appreciation of Woodland Park’s support of the Battalion, a history that goes back to 1992. He also spoke of the unit’s flag flying in Lions Park, at the intersection of Highways 24 and 67, for as long as a 4th Engineer Battalion soldier is deployed in harm’s way. It is a continual reminder to our community that we have friends defending our freedom and that we anxiously await their return. Courtesy photo

Council decides 3-2 to ban retail marijuana sales rcarrigan@ourcoloradonews.com Woodland Park council voted 3-2 Thursday to ban retail marijuana here in “the city above the clouds.” The city council decide 3-2 to prohibit marijuana cultivation, testing, product manufacturing, clubs and retail sales in Woodland Park. The law extends a temporary prohibition on marijuana that was set to expire July 1, and provides that new law will take effect as soon required public notice can be completed. Michael Slivka, an attorney and self-described Tea Patriots activist from Woodland Park, spoke against banning the substance. “I believe the members of this council are required to follow the law of the state constitution,” Slivka said. Colorado Constitution Amendment 64 was approved statewide and in Teller County in November decriminalzing marijuana in Colorado. Slivka was the only citizen speaking against the ban.

Councilwoman Carrol Harvey said in discussion before the vote that she would vote for the ban because, “It’s simple to me, it’s against the law.” Councilman Gary Brovetto asked if a law was neccesary at all because of the federal ban of marijuana as controlled substance. Brovetto and Councilman Robert Carlsen voted against the ordinance. Carlsen said he voted for Amendment 64 to end prohibition era-like hypocracy. “It is my little act of protest,” he said. Councilman Terry Harrison briefly appeared to consider the voters will in the state and Teller County, in comments, but voted for the ban, with Harvey, and mayorpro-tem Eric Smith. City Attorney Erin Smith advised members of council Thursday that if the law was not passed, they may have to make a number of decisions on the specifics of how to regulate the new industry. At minimum, a temporary ordinance providing for a moratorium on recreational marijuana businesses and clubs would expire on July 1, 2013.

Trustess just say no to marijuana Green Mountain Falls Mayor Lorrie Worthey and the board of trustees voted unanimously at the June 4 meeting to prohibit the operation of marijuana cultiva-

tion, product manufacturing and testing facilities as well as retail stores within the town limits.

create problems. According to those residents opposed to the city’s annexation of the property, 76 people have signed a petition reflecting that sentiment. Speaking against the anexation, several said there primary concern was the environment, and suggested there were “ongoing violations for years.” Nearby resident Diane Allen asked the council to prohibit it from moving forward, but barring that, “Can we just slow this down?” A number of city residents also spoke in favor of the free recycling operations and Baker’s communtiy activities.

“Big Bert,” Santa, and pocket full of cash Legend started Ute Stampede, but that wasn’t his first, or only rodeo By Rob Carrigan

rc a r r i g a n @ o u rc o l o r a donews.com When Woodland Park’s legendary figure “Big Bert” Bergstrom died on March 12, 1986, more than 500 people filed past his casket a few days later at Woodland Park Saddle Club Arena in the center of town. A fitting tribute for the founder and main benefactor of the Woodland Park Santa Claus Club, the man who donated the ground for the Saddle Club itself, and the owner of several area gambling dens and houses of ill repute.Even today, stories swirl around in the thin mountain air about the “big Swede” with heart of gold and a community conscience, along with the far-

reaching illegal operations to help finance them. In July of 1950, the local newspaper, Woodland Park View, reported a “Large Parade” and “Exciting Rodeo” for the three-year-old saddle club.An earlier article outlined how the club came into existence. “Organized under a large pine tree in the south corner of the ball park, in August, 1947, twelve charter members were present: Mr. and Mrs. Ira Hollingsworth, Mr. and Mrs. Bob White, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Bean, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Atwell, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Maximoff, George Klumph, and sister Catherine, Carl Silbaugh, and Jack Willis. Ed Bean was elected the first president, with Herb Lyons succeeding him,” according to the View, which itself was only in it second volume and year. It was undergoing some changes as well. “In true editorial fashion the Woodland Park View is

Painting the Ute Trail Stampede Rodeo sign in about 1950. Bert Berstrom donated the land for the rodeo grounds in 1948. According to reports, there was only a fence at the grounds the first year, and about 50 contestants. It later became sanctioned by Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association and bleachers were donated by Fort Carson, as nearly 250 contestants participated in the late 1980s. Photos by Courtesy photos of Ute Pass Historical Society going from the old to the new this weekend. Moving from Mrs. Whitmore’s Antique Shoppe where it has been comfortably located for more than two months, the View will make its new home in the very modern United Gas Co. building. We welcome you, your news and your patronage,” noted a front page box in the same issue as the story on the successful Ute Trail Stampede. “Through the generosity of Bert Bergstrom, new rodeo grounds were made available in the fall of ‘49. The new grounds are located in the center of town, south of the business section. With the co-operation of the people of the county and active members of the Saddle Club, the new grounds are being completed with a race track and a grand stand to be built later,” reported the View.A few years ago, in a conversation with Oscar Lindholm, who was 93 at the time, Bert Bergstrom was remembered as a “big, rough, tough Swede, saloonkeeper at the Ute Inn, 231 pounds, that could drink quite lot of beer.” Oscar acknowledged, at the time, he could go through a fair amount of beer himself. But Big Bert and Oscar were not alone, especially when the Stampede was in town.“… With the casino blaring away, all the local night spots lit up (and others?) and the square dance at the school `fillin’ up the floor’, Everybody had a GOOD TIME,” according the 1950’ article in the paper. Cowboys and specta-

tor alike agreed, “It is the best arena in the state and so beautifully situated with Pikes Peak and the breathtaking mountain scenery in the background,” reported the View. The paper itself, published by Kenneth and Margaret Geddes, with Maurine Johnson as the city editor, only operated under that name for about five years, said Ken Geddes, Jr. the son of the former publishers and an attorney in Colorado Springs. He said when his parents sold the Cripple Creek Times to Blevins Davis, (who renamed it the Gold Rush) the View was discontinued. “But that is the reason my mother call it `The View,’ I think, Woodland Park has that great view of the Peak,” said Ken Geddes, Jr. in a conversation years ago.It was said that Bergstrom did all of his banking out of his shirt pocket.”He lived for his elk hunts,” reported Liza Marron, at the time of his death in the Ute Pass Courier. “Terry Morse, (then) current saldleclub president, can vouch for his generosity.” Morse went elk hunting with Bergstrom on the Dolores River, near Durango. “When we got ready to get in the motorhome, Clara (Bergstrom’s wife) tapped he shirt pocket and Bert nodded,” Morse said.Gabe Brock, longtime owner of the Crystola Inn, remembered the elk hunting trips on the Dolores River as well. According to Brock, as reported by Marron, he had been going to the same spot for 38 years and his reputation preceded him. People

Bert Bergstrom in front of his Ute Bar on Midland Avenue in Woodland Park. Bergstrom built the El Dorado, owned the Thunderhead Inn for a time, had a ranch north of town and his house where the Crest Hotel used to be. from Maine to Texas would show up at his camp just because they knew he was there.”He would bring all the food, beer and four or five cases of whiskey. He had a big tent and he was the host. Anyone who came would get fed. A lot people sponged off him but Bert was one who didn’t mind. As long as he was having a good time. He called them all friends,” Brock was quoted in 1986. Brock verified gambling in Woodland Park in the late 1940s and the early 1950s. “He had 75 slot machines and I had 75 slot machines. We pooled them and put them out all over the county. We had sanction from Teller County Sheriff. We went along there

for about four years without any trouble. We would rake a little off each week and with that we build the Woodland Park Community Church. The VFW was in trouble, and Bert bought them a building behind the Ute Inn,” remembered Brock, as quoted by Marron of the Courier. The Eldorado Club, which later became Preschool in the Pines, was also one of Bert’s gambling clubs, Brock told the paper.” The proceeds from gambling built a lot of Woodland Park,” he said, but it all ended in 1952 when a new mayor closed things down, according to Brock. Bergstrom is buried in Woodland Park Cemetery.

Woodland Park benefactor enjoyed the dance By Rob Carrigan

rcarrigan@ourcoloradonews.com Jim Curlee of Cleburne, Texas, had the following recent remembrances, shared by email. “Bert Bergstrom was a good friend of mine when I was stationed in Ft. Carson from ‘60 to ‘65. He did not associate with many soldiers but he did me. Bert kept me supplied with elk meat for many years.He was the Game Warden when I knew him.”Curlee described how he befriended Bergstrom. “Bert drove a Jeep station wagon with a rope winch on the front bumper. He used the winch to pull Elk up and down the hill in the High Country. It was a three-quarter

inch treated Sisal rope I scrounged up for Bert and it filled the drum. Bert was proud of that rope. He used to lead people outside to show them the rope.” Curlee noted that the big Swede liked to dance.” I travelled to Woodland Park one night a week and every weekend because it was cheaper to drink there. Bert loved to dance and he would pick up the girls and carry them around the floor. Their feet struck him about at his knees.” He also remembered the good times in then in Woodland Park. “Bert donated the land for the Ute Trail Stampede just across the street from the bar. You could sit in the grandstands and watch the Rodeo or you could lift your eyes and watch Pikes Peak.”

Sheriffs to speak on gun laws El Paso County Sheriff Terry Maketa and Teller County Sheriff Mike Ensminger will explain the new Colorado gun laws and the rationale behind the 55 of 62 county sheriffs’ lawsuit against the State of Colorado. Colorado sheriffs will be the featured speakers at two major Second Amendment rallies to be held in Colorado Springs and Woodland Park this month. El Paso County Sheriff Terry Maketa, who has been one of the leading spokespersons for the County Sheriffs of Colorado, will be speaking at 7 p.m. June 12 at the Stargazers Theatre in Colorado Springs. Teller County

Sheriff Mike Ensminger will speak at 7 p.m. June 13 at the Ute Pass Cultural Center. Both sheriffs will be updating the public on the reasons for their opposition to recent gun control laws passed by the state Legislature. Fifty-five of Colorado’s 62 sheriffs now stand united in opposition to these laws. They share the belief that these laws are politically motivated, will have no effect on reducing crime, are unenforceable and will infringe on the lawful exercise of the right to keep and bear arms. They believe that their oaths of office require them to stand up against these constitutional viola-

tions. Both men will be joined by Mike Holler, author of “The Constitution Made Easy” and chairman of Citizens For a Safer Colorado, a group that is sponsoring an amendment to the Colorado Constitution that would repeal the recent spate of gun control laws and refer all similar laws in the future to a vote of the people. Filmmaker Curtis Bowers will preview his award-winning documentary, “Agenda, Grinding America Down,” and share his findings on what is behind the attacks on the Second Amendment and the

Constitution. The documentary won “Best of Festival” at the 2010 San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival (SAICFF). Ms. Julie Naye and Keith McKim will lead in the singing of “The Star-Spangled Banner” and “God Bless America.” Defend Liberty LLC, headed by Joe Rodriguez of Guffey, and other groups are cosponsoring the events to inform the public. The public is invited and there is no admission charge. For more information visit www.defendliberty.us.

GMF denies request for service dog By Pat Hill

‘From what I’ve heard police dogs can be extremely

phill@ourcoloradonews.com When the Green Mountain Falls board of trustees voted 4-3 to deny a request by Police Chief Tim Bradley to use a service dog, several members of the audience walked out. In a meeting June 4 filled with rancor over the electronic-media policy, the denial of the service dog apparently was the last straw. Among those who left, however, at least one was not a resident of the town. The dog, Rico, a Belgian Malois/shepherd, is Bradley’s trained tracking dog. “This dog is not a bloodhound but tracks on ecological and environmental disturbances,” Bradley said. “These dogs are a phenomenal tool in the right environment. It doesn’t mean he can solve all the problems.” Before casting her affirmative vote, Trustee Margaret Peterson requested proof of the dog’s certification in addition to reworking the town’s service-dog policy. “I don’t think we should make decisions until we review the policy,” she said. Mayor Pro Tem Jane Newberry agreed. “The policy is very much outdated,” she said. But Trustee Tyler Stevens called for a deciding vote, either affirmative or negative,

useful and a huge benefit for our residents. And the price is right. The chief has brought this forward at no cost to the town.’ Tyler Stevens, trustee

while letting the policy temporarily stand. Riled by the request, Trustee Mac Pitrone erupted. “Green Mountain Falls has existed for 125 years without a service dog,” he said. “If the town doesn’t need a dog, why even discuss it?” Pitrone based his argument on the claim that, if the town needed a service dog, other agencies could provide one. “Everybody has unfunded needs but this is an unfunded want,” he said. “I see zero need for a canine.” And, by the way, Price said, the town will not need a dog to check for marijuana because the substance is now legal.

As Pitrone told the board that the use of a service dog could be secured, Price took another view. He claimed that, under state law, if other agencies need a service dog, the town is required to loan the dog and the police chief to go along with it. “That is a problem to me,” Price said. Price, who is the marshal’s (now Police Chief) trustee, tied the dog request to Bradley’s covering areas other than Green Mountain Falls. “I have numerous times spoken to the marshal/chief, or whatever, and explained to him how upset members of this board are that our tax dollars for his department have to go to cover other ar-

eas,” Price said. By then, Mayor Lorrie Worthey sounded exasperated over the expected negative vote on the dog. “I disagree,” she said. “It is evident to most people that our marshal’s department is severely underfunded. The dog is not going to cost us and we’d get coverage.” Nonetheless, the board denied the request, with only Worthey, Peterson and Stevens voting in the affirmative while Ralph LoCasio, Newberry, Pitrone and Price voted no. Stevens expressed his disdain for the result. “I think this is foolish and narrowsighted. In looking toward the future this town is clearly and loudly calling for public safety,” Stevens said. “There have not been adequate reasons to deny the request. From what I’ve heard police dogs can be extremely useful and a huge benefit for our residents. And the price is right. The chief has brought this forward at no cost to the town.” For Price, an overriding issue is the lack of personnel in the department, which now includes Bradley and one deputy. Over the past several months, two deputies, Felix Torres and Ken McQueen, have left. “We need deputies more than we need a dog,” Price said.

Gold shining on Colorado’s dome Gold is an impressive and appropriate material to cover the top of the state’s top government building. The precious metal helped build and pay for much of the `Centennial State’s’ growth and expansion. It called out to the first Argonauts of 1859 and inspired their push for “Pikes Peak or Bust.” Later, the yellow metal made possible `the greatest gold camp in the world’ at Cripple Creek and Victor. Money earned in that district, transformed Colorado Springs into a world class tourist destination and paid for city, county and federal buildings all over town. Huge lumps were pulled from Clear Creek and the central mountains near Breckenridge. If California hadn’t beaten us to it by 10 years, we probably would be known as the Golden State.But the dome wasn’t always golden. In fact the whole building had a bit of a troubled history. Henry Brown, (the same Brown who built another Denver landmark, the Brown Palace Hotel) donated the land for the building a full eight years before statehood in 1868, but because no fundraising was occurring at the time Colorado became a state, he filed a law suit, and put up a wooden fence around the property. The suit went all the way to the United States Supreme Court where Brown’s revocation of the property was rejected. Even so, builders didn’t turn a shovel on the new structure until 1886. And it was slow going

for years afterward.The first contractor encountered cost overruns early on and was replaced. The Detroit architect who designed the building, Elijah Meyers, was fired after two years on the job. The second architect, Pete Gumry, was killed in an explosion of another building. Striking quarry workers slowed construction. The third architect, James Murdoch, resigned after three years. Local architect, F.E. Edbrooke, (who had designed many local buildings including the Brown Palace) finally finished the job. It was Edbrooke who suggested that the dome be gilded with real Colorado gold. But that part of the project didn’t happen until 1908.The original dome’s copper sheathing turned a dull greenish hue shortly after completion. A donation of 200 ounces of real Colorado gold, produced by the Colorado Mining Association at the urging of San

Dog days of summer Editor’s note: Today’s guest columnist is Lilly Prettyman, a 12-year old terrier mix, who was rescued by the Prettymans 9 years ago. A number of my canine buddies have been complaining about their owners taking them on long walks and runs during the heat of the day. Some, believe it or not, have even been left in steaming hot cars with the windows rolled up. The very first thing to understand is that dogs and people are different. Besides being innately more loving, dogs cool themselves very differently than humans. While people cool themselves by sweating, dogs can only cool-down by panting. Unfortunately, that is an ineffective way of getting one’s body temperature down – try it. Because most humans seem incapable of comprehending “dog talk,” it would be prudent to learn the physical signs that your dog is overheating and know what to do about it. A dog’s body temperature is normally between 101 and 102 degrees Fahrenheit. When we can’t pant fast enough, our body temperature rises. A rise to a temperature of 105 is all it takes to send us into a dangerous state. At this temperature, a dog is no longer capable of reducing her body heat. When a dog’s temperature hits 108 degrees Fahrenheit, her heart, brain, liver, kidneys and intestinal tract starts to break down. Even immediate treatment and cooling can leave her with long-term internal damage. The signs that your dog is suffering from the heat are excessive panting, falling behind on a walk and the inability to stand. Rapid breathing, dry mouth and nose, a rapid heart rate and gums that are deep red mark a pending heat stroke, which can be followed by collapse, seizure, coma and death. Here are some “nuggets of knowledge” to help you keep your beloved puppy cool

during the “dog days of summer.” Don’t confine your dog to a poorly ventilated area of the house and make sure there is access to plenty of water. Don’t succumb to those puppy dog eyes begging to go with you in the car on a hot day. It is far kinder to leave us home, where we’re not susceptible to roasting. If you are going to take us for a walk, carry a water bottle and teach us to drink out of it. There are water bottles made specifically for dogs. Search “dog water bottle” on Amazon. If you suspect your dog is suffering from heat exhaustion, cool her down immediately with cool water and place her in front of a fan or in a cool location in the house. Call your Vet, especially if your dog starts to vomit. Please ensure that your dog has shelter from the sun, adequate water to drink and a way to cool-off when the temperature starts to rise. We trust you not to put us in situations where we become overheated. Oh, and if you doggie freaks out during thunder and lightening storms, you might want to pick-up a ‘thundershirt” on Amazon. I love mine! Cord Prettyman is a certified Master Personal Trainer and the owner of Absolute Workout Fitness and Post-Re-hab Studio in Woodland Park.

Juan road-builder, newspaper founder, and general all-purpose pioneer, Otto Mears -- finished off the building. Of course, the price of gold wasn’t over $1,200 an ounce at that time. It was re-gilded in 1948, again in 1980 and once more in 1991. “Atop the dome is a glass globe four feet in diameter that surrounds a beacon-like light bulb. Originally it was thought that a statue, of the “most beautiful woman in Colorado” was the most appropriate way to adorn the dome. One board member suggested his own daughter and with the female members of the legislature voting for themselves, the board did the politically correct thing and voted down the proposition,” according to virtual tour information at the state’s web site. In 2009, Governor Bill Ritter announced that plans to repair the golden dome were put on hold. The cast iron that makes up the bulk of the dome is rusting and crumbling. “But the state officials say the public is not in any danger. Visitors have not been allowed on the walkway around the dome since a 10-pound piece of cast iron fell off in 2007,” said a June 30, 2009 article by Claire Trageser in the Denver Post. Times were tough, but thanks to the mine and the casinos, at least Coloradans decided they could afford gold for the roof over our head. In September of 2011, Cripple Creek & Victor Mining delivered a 72-ounce, solid, gold button that will be used to produce

gold leaf for Colorado the Capitol Dome. At prices at that time, that was nearly $130,000 worth of gold. “The dome now needs $17 million in urgent repairs that the state doesn’t have to spare, and gold is once again booming, with prices near all-time highs,” according to a Sept. 23 story by Kirk Johnson in the New York Times. “It’s your gold,” Mark Cutifani, the chief executive of AngloGold Ashanti, the parent company of CC & V, was quoted in the Times. Cutifani handed over the gold to Governor John Hickenlooper at a ceremony at the Capitol. The company has owned CC & V Mining since 1999 and averages as much as 700 ounces of gold a day at its operation between Cripple Creek and Victor. It is the largest private employer in Teller County.“ But in another twist of history, much of the real money for the building’s broader repairs could also come, indirectly, from the once-moldering old mining towns themselves.” The Times piece cited the gambling tax that goes to a statewide historic preservation fund that state lawmakers used to begin the restoration process. Colorado Preservation, Inc. was pushing to restore the fund, which they say would be exhausted if it has to pay for the entire project. The repairs were to concentrate on the painted and gilded metal-clad areas and was expected to be completed in mid 2014.

Letter to the editor enjoyed stained glass article

Dear Editor, I thoroughly enjoyed the article in last week’s issue on Jane Riege, the artist who designed and crafted all 49 windows for the Golden Bee renovation at the Broadmoor. I thought it might be of interest to your readers to know that Jane also crafted eight stained-glass windows for St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Cripple Creek about three years ago. The windows were designed by my husband, Stephen Mackin, and he and Jane worked closely together on this project and became good

By Pat Hill

phill@ourcoloradonews.com As apartheid ripped apart the country of South Africa, as subjugation of one people tore into the souls of the subjugators, Rosetta Stander experienced an epiphany. “I can’t hide behind it; we were living our lives but, with more television, we became aware,” she said. “Something in me changed. I was shocked, tremendously shocked and angry. I was angry at my people, at the church, at all the lies that were told to us.” Speaking to a group last month at Church in the Wildwood in Green Mountain Falls, Stander talked about her work with the Zulus, particularly women, in KwaZulu-Natal. “I made a decision to do something meaningful from there on,” she said. “Life would not be the same for me after that.” Nearly 20 years after being jolted out of complacency, Stander has been recognized by the South African government for the work of her nonprofit organization, Zimele, “stand on your own two feet” in Zulu. “The government has noticed

that women are responding to opportunities,” she said. Tapping into innate entrepreneurial talents, Stander and her staff help women start businesses that include day care centers, guest houses and retail outlets for crafts and jewelry. “They think of a business idea and I’m helping them to keep the idea going. I see the hard work and the tears that go into that business. And I tell them ‘welcome into the club of being a business woman,’” she said. “There are tears, of happiness, sometimes.” To Stander, the theme of her organization, developing community self-reliance, springs from her observations that charity given by foreign-aid groups has, in many ways, created a cycle of dependency. “If I build the capacity of the mother, bring opportunities to her, she will then give back to the children and the next generation will feel differently about life,” she said. Much of Zimele’s work is a response to the devastation of a people during the apartheid years. “In South Africa, we had what we call a ‘lost generation,’” she said. “Children didn’t go to school because they

Zimele helps the women market their products all over the world. Courtesy photo were all fighting against apartheid, so children were growing up without proper education. I became aware of what might create the second lost generation.” Today Zimele has broad reach across the provinces. “In the African context, you work with the women if you want change. So many of them don’t have husbands and many of them are the older generation whose children have passed away as a result of AIDS,” she said. “The consequenc-

es of AIDs are absolutely devastating.” Stander’s program begins with a foundation of hope. “I am building the capacity of women to realize their dream by building a support system and marketing their products,” she said. “It’s as simple as that.” To contact the organization, go to www.zimelecommunity.org or to reach the development director, email Christy@ zimelecommunity.org.

Remembering Our Fallen comes to WP By Pat Hill

phill@ourcoloradonews.com A solemn moment in a summer of festivities, a ceremony welcoming the “Remembering Our Fallen” memorial to Woodland Park is a time to pay tribute to the military members who died during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. “There are several families of the fallen we hope will come to the opening ceremony June 30,” said Chuck Gardner, commander of the American Legion Post #1980, which sponsors the memorial with the city of Woodland Park. At 45 feet long, the memorial, a wall of photographs, will be escorted into the city by the Patriot Guard and American Legion riders as well as members of the American Legion in Security. The opening ceremony is from noon to 12:30 p.m. June 30 at the Ute Pass Cultural Center.

“It is a great honor that our Woodland Park and Teller County community will have the opportunity to review, remember, and honor our Colorado Fallen,” said Woodland Park Mayor Dave Turley. “It is so important for each of us to appreciate those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in securing and protecting our liberties and freedoms.” According to an article found at the website www.rememberingourfallen.org, the memorial was initiated by Bill and Evonne Williams of Omaha, Neb. whose four sons served and continue to serve in the military. The initial memorial, launched in November 2010 in Omaha, included photos of the 98 fallen from Nebraska and western Iowa. From there, the exhibit expanded to include the fallen from several states. “Remembering Our Fallen,” will be on display for viewing until 2 p.m. June 30 and from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. July 1-5 and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. July 6 at the cultural center.

The city of Woodland Park and the American Legion Post #1980 are bringing “Remembering our Fallen” memorial to the Ute Pass Cultural Center June 30. The welcoming ceremony is from 12 to 12:30 p.m. June 30 at the cultural center. The memorial will be in Woodland Park for one week. Courtesy photo

New artist joins Once Upon a Time in the West By Pat Hill

phill@ourcoloradonews. com A creative magician with colorful stamps and a sparkling imagination, Ronnie Slancik has found her inner artist. The latest addition to the annual Once Upon a Time in the West, Slancik introduces another element to the show, hand-made greeting cards. Not just any card, however, as Slancik’s are stamped, embossed and glazed, to be sent, framed or used as decorative pieces. With a clever use of stamped images as well as a pair of scissors, Slancik has elevated greeting cards to an art form. “My part of the creativity is just putting it all together,” she said. In addition to stamped designs and curlicues, Slancik embellishes some of her cards with a print of her husband’s work. He’s Mike Slancik, the well-known sculptor and artist whose studio is in Cripple Creek. With her artistic wizardry, Slancik has broadened her reach with decorative ceramic tiles. Invited to join the juried and exclusive Once Upon a Time in the West, Slancik is on a new career path. “I was a nurse for 30 years,” she said. “And then I drove a haul truck at the Cripple Creek & Victor Mining Co.”

Ronnie Slancik has found an artistic niche with greeting cards crafted from stamped images, embossed and glazed. Slancik has been chosen to show her works at the annual juried Once Upon a Time in the West at the Cripple Creek Heritage Center. The opening reception is from 4 to 9 p.m. June 28 and the shows runs through July 7. Photo by Pat Hill The show is transformative, embracing the viewer in a kind of artistic cocoon with a forest environment to enhance the Native American theme. The Cripple Creek Heritage Center is the ideal venue for the show, with its panoramic view and the forest ambience. A seven-foot waterfall greets the visitor at the bottom of the stairs, while tree limbs and plants perpetuate the theme. The show is distinguished by the initial Native American blessing. This year’s art show is bittersweet, with the death last year of Steve Mackin countered by the recovery from cancer by the founder Rod

“Little Bear” Sutton. However, Mackin’s wife, Bonnie Mackin, will be there showing her husband’s work. Other artists in the show are Jon Zimmer, Jim Redhawk, Michael Slancik, Beth Redhawk, Two Dogs Doyle and Dixie Clare. Once Upon a Time in the West is sponsored by the Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Co., Bronco Billy’s, Feathers Gallery, Little Bear Expressions, Redhawk Originals, The Crucible, Ralf’s Break Room and Florissant Fossil Quarry.The artists’ reception is from 4 to 9 p.m. June 28 and the show is from 9 a.m.to 5 p.m. June 29 through July 7 at the Cripple Creek Heritage Center.

Vahsholtz Ready to Attack Pikes Peak for 23rd Time Woodland Park native is in a new division this year By Danny Summers WOODLAND PARK – With a little more three weeks until the 91st running of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, drivers from around the world are putting the final touches on their cars and motorcycles. Locally, Woodland Park’s own Clint Vahsholtz is preparing for his 23rd ascent up the mountain. Nineteen previous times Vahsholtz has come down a winner. This year’s race takes place June 30. “We’ve been working pretty hard the last month,” Vahsholtz said. “We’re going straight-forward into this. It’s exciting.” Vahsholtz will compete in the Open Wheel Division for the first time. He had competed in the Super Stock division for years, but race organizers eliminated the division this year. Vahsholtz has taken the chasse off his Ford Mustang body and is using it for his new Ford Open car. It has wings and is low to the ground. He again has Cripple Creek and Victor Gold Mining Company as his primary sponsor. “It’s exotic,” he said. “We have a V-8 engine in it with about 860 horsepower, compared to 620 that we were running before. “If we can figure things out with this car, I think it will run somewhere between (nine minutes, 40 seconds) and 10:15. A time of 9:40 would break the existing Hill Climb record by more than six seconds. It would also shatter Vahsholtz’s personalbest time by more than a minute. He tested the car out several times last week with runs at Pikes Peak International Raceway and up Pikes Peak. The Race to the Clouds has reached true international status in recent years. This year’s event includes drivers from Japan, Latvia, France, Sweden, Canada, Brazil, Great Britain, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Italy, Scotland, Poland, Korea and New Zealand. The field will include 91 autos and 71 motorcycles for 162 competitors who want to challenge America’s Mountain and its finish line at its 14,110-foot summit. The loaded Unlimited automobile division features the two drivers – French star Romain Dumas and veteran Rhys Millen – who took turns in breaking the all-time course record during last year’s race. Millen set the course record of 9:46.164 in winning the Time Attack division, and Dumas broke the old mark a bit earlier in the race by clocking 9:46.181 in winning the Pikes Peak Open division. Both drivers moved to Unlimited this year, setting up a classic showdown in the same field. Dumas, last year’s Rookie of the Year, will be joining the big cars in the Unlimited field with a brand-new Norma M20FCPP prototype entry in hopes of even a faster time on the asphalt 12.42 mile course. Millen has entered in a racy Hyundai

PM580T. Millen has loaned out his recordsetting auto from last year – a Hyundai Genesis Coupe – to the veteran Paul Dallenbach of Basalt, who becomes one of the favorites this year in the Time Attack division. The talent-heavy Unlimited field also includes French veteran Jean-Philippe Dayraut, driving a specially-prepared 900 HP “No Limit” Mini Countryman for the first time on Pikes Peak. Dayraut was third in the Unlimited division in 2011, driving a VIP Challenge Dacia Duster and winning Rookie of the Year honors. The Unlimited division also boasts another French racing star in nine-time World Rally Champion Sebastien Loeb, who will be behind the wheel of a specially-built Peugeot 208 T16 Pikes Peak model. Loeb’s Peugeot entry marks the car’s first attempt on Pikes Peak since back-to-back triumphs in its 405 T16 model in 1988 and 1989, driven by Ari Vatanen and Robby Unser, respectively, in the Open Rally division

(now the Unlimited division). Driving for *Citroën’s World Rally Team, Loeb won every World Rally Championship from 2004-2012 and is running in second place in this year’s series. He’s being loaned to Peugeot for Pikes Peak in an attempt to win the famed race, which began in 1916.* *Loeb finished second in the 2006 24 Hours of Le Mans, and was named the French Sportsman of the Year in 2007 and 2009. “I think we could see some times in the low 9s this year,” Vahsholtz said. “There are a bunch of good divers in the Unlimited division with a lot of money backing‘em.” *There is also a huge buzz in the Electric Auto division, where one of the race’s legends, Japan’s Nobuhiro “Monster” Tajima, is entered again in his Pikes Peak Special E-Runner. Tajima made headlines last year when his car caught fire and forced the former course record holder – the first to crack the 10-minute mark (in 2011) – out of the

race. Tajima won the Unlimited division nine times on the Peak.* *He will be up against another of the event’s legends, Rod Millen, the father of Rhys Millen, and winner of the Unlimited title five times. In 2011, Rod returned to Pikes Peak after a lengthy absence and triumphed in the Time Attack 2WD division.* *Millen will be driving a new Toyota TMG EV POO2 model in the Electric field, which now numbers seven entries, including one of the year’s biggest surprises.* The Electric division also includes twotime Hill Climb champion Ikuo Hanawaof Japan, as well as decorated motorcycle racing legend Greg Tracy. Tracy, who has never been behind the wheel of an auto on Pikes Peak before, was second a year ago in the blazing 1205cc motorcycle division behind champion Carlin Dunne, who set the all-time bike record of 9:52.819. Tracy also shattered the elusive 10-minute mark with his clocking of 9:58.262.

Calhoun Heads Impressive List for Football Luncheon By Danny Summers COLORADO SPRINGS – Air Force Academy football coach Troy Calhoun will headline the Colorado Springs Sports Corporation College Football Luncheon on June 19. Calhoun will be joined by other top football coaches from around the state at the event, which will be held at the Cheyenne Mountain Resort. Taking center stage with Calhoun will be new University of Colorado head coach Mike MacIntrye, Colorado State coach Jim McElwain, CSU-Pueblo coach John Wristen and Northern Colorado coach Earnest Collins, Jr. Calhoun is the only Falcons coach in the 100-plus year history of service academy football to lead teams to at least seven wins and a bowl game in each of his first five seasons. Calhoun was a semifinalist for the 2010 Paterno National Coach of the Year award

for his efforts on and off the field. His players have also been amazingly successful finishing their academic and leadership responsibilities. The Air Force football team’s most recent NCAA APR is an astounding 980 which once again places the Academy amongst the nation’s top 10 in the sport of football. Calhoun is 47-31 in six seasons after taking over a program that had posted three straight losing seasons before his arrival. He has posted wins at Notre Dame and Utah, and led the Falcons to a school-record six straight bowl games. Last season the Falcons competed in the Armed Forces Bowl and finished the season with a 6-7 overall mark. In 2011, he led the school to its first backto-back Commander-in-Chief’sTrophy titles since 2002 with victories over Army and Navy. In Mountain West Conference play Cal-

houn is 29-18 and his conference winning percentage (.617) is the fifth best in conference history. Air Force opens its season Aug. 31 against Colgate at Falcon Stadium.

PANTHERS GO CLUBBING

Three members of next fall’s Woodland Park High School volleyball team played for the Colorado Classix Juniors volleyball team this spring. The club is located in Monument. Seniors Carli Vahsholtz, Paloma Juarros and Linnea Sauer all saw significant action and figure to be key members for the Panthers. The club season ran from January through late April and included games and tournaments. The 18s coach is Scott Nelson, a 1988 Air Force Academy graduate and former player for the team.

STRUBLE SHINES FOR THUNDERWOLVES

Divide resident Jeremiah Struble completed a great season on the mound for the Colorado State University-Pueblo baseball team. The right-hander went 9-4 in 15 starts with a solid 3.39 ERA. He had 78 strikeouts and 32 walks. Struble is a 2009 graduate of Manitou Springs. He went 15-2 during his high school career.

COTTRELL LANDS WIDEFIELD JOB

Former Woodland Park football coach Brent Cottrell has been selected as the new football coach at Widefield. Cottrell inherits a Widefield team that was 3-7 last season. The Gladiators had won 17 of their previous 22 games prior to last season. Cottrell coached at Woodland Park from 2007 through 2010, compiling a 14-27 record.

Boosters issue plea for help By Pat Hill

phill@ourcoloradonews.com They call it a “shoutout” for help to host the Booster Club vendor booth July 5 at Symphony Above the Clouds in Woodland Park. The call is a step-right-up to-the-plate and help club members sell hot dogs, cheeseburgers, brats and nachos as well as drinks and candy. A fundraiser for the Boosters, the vendor booths finance the club’s scholarship program. “We give scholarships to student athletes to attend college, including trade schools,” said Leticia Watters who with Denise Neal heads up the publicity committee. This year, the Boosters awarded $500 scholarships to five graduating seniors at Woodland Park High School. During the school year, the Boosters host the vendor booths at football and volleyball

games for the teams at the high school. In addition to Neal and Watters, Lori Lays and Shari Thorne are on the Booster board. In calling out for help, the women acknowledge that the time spent can seem long; however, that’s no excuse not to volunteer, they said. “Generally speaking, our volunteers are parents and more of the volunteers are working moms,” Watters said. “We do it for the young adults of our community and to encourage them, through spirit and monetary means, to continue their education.” There’s also an ulterior motive to their efforts. “Kids in athletics tend to be healthy, in mind and body,” Neal said. “As well, coaches encourage the athletes to take the right path, make the right choices.” For information about volunteering, call 686-1525, 687-0467, or email neal@hotmail. com.

Farm Bureau rips renewable law Special to the Courier Colorado Farm Bureau

After months of waiting, June 5 brought resolution to Senate Bill 252 when Gov. John Hickenlooper signed the bill. The legislation mandates that 20 percent of electricity used by rural Colorado come from renewable sources. “We are disappointed to see that Governor Hickenlooper was willing to sign a measure that will put an unnecessary burden on many Colorado farmers and ranchers in rural communities. This mandate will cost agricultural producers millions of dollars, and may put many family farms out of business,” said Don Shawcroft, Colorado Farm Bureau president. Hickenlooper also signed an executive order relating to the bill, which creates an advisory committee to the director of the Colorado Energy Office. However, a voice from agriculture was

not included in this committee. “It’s very disconcerting that Governor Hickenlooper did not acknowledge the agricultural industry by putting a farmer or rancher on the advisory committee,” Shawcroft said. “We tried to talk to him about our concerns and how this will affect agriculture, but yet again, he didn’t include us in the ongoing conversation,” he added. Colorado Farm Bureau supports using a variety of energy sources. “The member families of Colorado Farm Bureau believe in an all-of-the-above energy policy that increases energy production from wind, solar, nuclear, hydroelectric, coal and natural gas,” Shawcroft said. “We realize the need for reliable, affordable energy, and believe it will take this allof-the-above approach to meet that goal. However, mandating the use of a specific source of energy is the wrong way to address our growing energy needs.”

entire project is expected to be completed by the summer of 2014. A $17 million project, a portion of the money is from Limited Gaming Impact Fund. “So they cut way back on gaming grants for historic projects because it went to the dome,” Mannon said. “We’ve been

told that funds are going to be tight because a lot of the money is going to the Capitol.” As well, Mannon expresses concern about the ongoing maintenance of the Capitol. “Is there a source of funding because they let it go for so many years?,” she said. “On the one hand, it’s good that the gaming dollars are there, but on the other hand, this is a function of government; they need to maintain their facilities.” Colorado Preservation Inc. heads up the fundraising campaign in a partnership with the private Share in the Care organization.

Let them know how delighted you are they are shopping, dining or staying at your facility. Spruce Up or Touch Up your entrance! When is the last time you walked through your front entrance? Does it make the statement you want? This applies to ALL Woodland Park and Teller County Businesses! Information Sharing is a must.
