The Farmers Market: A Weekly Summer Party Vendors, customers, organizers all share the benefits By Jenette DaPolito Special to the Courier
Each year when the weather starts to get warmer and vegetation sprouts with a fresh, vibrant green the question arises, ‘When does the farmers market begin?’ The local farmers market is something that so many in the community eagerly anticipate and thoroughly enjoy. It begins on the first Friday of June and ends on the last Friday of September, every Friday from the start to the finish is a bustling day for all of Woodland Park. The market includes fresh produce, plants grown locally, cheese, skin care products, foods prepared by those in the community, as well as clothing and jewelry. Anyone who has had the opportunity to go to the farmers market would agree that preparation and organization is evident to an immense degree. Judy Crummett, one of many large contributors putting the market together, was asked what some challenges are involved in preparing. She responded, “So many . . . we have 100 vendor spaces so it takes a lot of organizing. We open our summer application in January if that gives you any clue. Summer market is June- September. It is so big that it takes a great deal of organization, that’s the only way it succeeds is to be organized. Many vendors tell us that it is the best organized market that they attend.” The next question, without a doubt, would be, is it worth all that effort? She responded positively. “It’s been going 23 years and it is still run by a board and volunteers, so if we didn’t like doing it we certainly wouldn’t do it. We’ve gotten old in this thing, some of our volunteers are over 80 now. I think of it as a weekly summer party!” Vendors face similar challenges with preparation and organization. Several said
they were up late into the night before the market, and woke up at a shocking hour in the morning to be there and ready for their customers. Consistency in plants, produce and ingredients in certain foods is sometimes an additional issue. One vendor, named Florence, who sells the plants that she herself grows, says “It takes all week, I’m working at this all week long either transplanting or planting and keeping it all in good shape to bring and then getting everything packed.” Despite all of that hard work she added “But I won’t give up this market because its such a great market, and the people are so nice.” Customers are certainly grateful for all the hard work that is put into this weekly event. One customer Samantha said “It is nice getting to know whats in the community, because you don’t even realize that some of this exists until you come here, and then to see the talent of the people in the community.” Another customer Eva, appreciates the market so much she makes an effort to be there each week. “I always come, I try never to miss it because I just love everything that is growing and is natural and just the friendliness of the people. There is always something to discover, every week you get new produce, you meet new people, you see the animals and hear the music. I meet a lot of friends and make this my place to buy something for lunch and then I sit by the lake and eat.” A major focus behind having a local farmers market is to benefit the community. One vendor, Gene, put the benefits of the farmers market to the community this way, “We have good camaraderie, everybody knows each other and it brings a nice kind of family atmosphere to the market and the community.” Certainly, the local farmers market is something we can all enjoy, along with the whole family, contributing to the closeness of our community. All can be excited for a summer party each Friday from June to September, year after year.

A small group of disgruntled citizens is in the process of initiating a recall election of several members of the Green Mountain Falls’ board of trustees. In an informal meeting July 14, about 20 people, summer and full-time residents, aired their grievances. Mayor pro tem Jane Newberry attended the meeting and gave a report to Mayor Lorrie Worthey and the trustees July 16. “Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think we made some really good inroads and answered some questions,” she said. “There are some things we can’t answer by law but we did answer some procedural questions. I felt pretty good about it.” According to Newberry’s notes, the group discussed a move to unincorporate the town, complained about the delay in the video-taping of board meetings as well as the lack of communication between the board and the citizens. On the issue of the recall, Newberry wrote that Billie Harwood reported that she has secured an attorney to advise the group about recall procedures. Harwood is a summer resident from Texas. Worthey bristled at Newberry’s notes stating that Judy Lofland Weidner “informed the group that Mayor Worthey is trying to get the $60 fee waived to receive state archives for Green Mountain Falls
‘I am not getting involved with this, never said anything about paying money and the $60 fee. I want to make that public, that this is incorrect.’ Mayor Lorrie Worthey and if she cannot get the fee waived, Mayor Worthey will pay the fee herself.” Worthey kept her cool but denied the report. “I am not getting involved with this, never said anything about paying money and the $60 fee,” she said. “I want to make that public, that this is incorrect.” Newberry stood her ground. “I just wrote down what people said,” she said. The next day, Worthey commented, “It is not true that I offered to pay the $60 fee,” she said. “I don’t know where that came from. As an elected official I was not involved in the request for the archives or the town charter.” At the request of Dick Lackmond, Worthey set the board meeting of Aug. 6 for a public discussion.

Community Cupboard moves to ”67” By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews.com After 18 years in dark and cramped quarters in the heart of Woodland Park, the Community Cupboard is greeting clients in spiffy new digs at 414 N. Colo. 67.While the move June 30 was a major undertaking, for an organization dedicated to helping others, the move was a time for others to give back. “Ralph Arthur and the Geezers Motorcycle Club were amazing,” said Janey Child, the cupboard’s executive director. “They came in with power tools, men and a flatbed truck.” In a kind of choreographed dance, the bikers removed shelves while the Holders, Wade and Gina and their family, loaded up freezers and refrigerators, the procession culminating in a power-washing display at the new place. “There was so much action going on over here you wouldn’t believe it,” Child said. “It was exciting; volunteers just came forward and were there. I almost wanted to cry.” The new quarters include two buildings, one used by the 30 or 40 volunteers to stock canned food, prepare boxes for cupboard clients and accept donations. A second building houses the offices. For cupboard clients, the waiting room is cozy and inviting, spruced up with pillows and a quilt handmade by Margaret Foster. Floral pictures and antique cans of food add interest to the area. “That’s important to me,” Child said. On a sadder note, the cupboard’s client
Jennifer Forbes, left, and Janey Child, assistant and executive director, respectively, of the Community Cupboard welcome clients these days at their new location on N. Highway 67 in Woodland Park.

base is increasing. “We’re so busy; the first day we opened we had 14 families,” Child said. “People can’t make ends meet, either because food stamps have been cut back, or due to illness or lost jobs.” In two hours recently, the cupboard gave away 1,000 pounds of food. “We’ve had
more record days like that,” Child said. Food donations come regularly from City Market, Safeway, Starbucks, nonprofit organizations, individuals and churches. However, for the organization itself, the costs of moving and purchasing the two buildings have put a dent in the building fund. “With the unforeseen circumstances our

renovation costs have skyrocketed,” she said. “We are hurting.” The Community Cupboard is open from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday. To help with the building fund, donors can send checks to The Community Cupboard, PO Box 999, Woodland Park, CO 80866. For information, call 687-3663.
A yearly celebration of Colorado¹s rich Western history, Florissant Heritage Day will be held on Saturday, July 27 throughout the town of Florissant. Festivities include singing, museum tours, historic reenactments, dancing, vendors, food and games. According to organizers Renee Caldwell and Celinda Kaelin, the purpose of the yearly event is to educate and celebrate the historic roots of Florissant. The event attracts community members, tourists and history buffs who want to take a 143-year journey back to the Colorado territory of the 1870’s. There, the meeting of Ute Indians and pioneers from the east, the controversy of the Civil War, and the boom and bust of trade in the area can be witnessed in action, forming this historic town. Florissant is located on U.S. 24 just four miles east of the Park/Teller County line and approximately 15 miles west of Woodland Park. The event is sponsored by the Pikes Peak Historical Society and the Florissant Grange No. 420, and in partnership with Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument, Florissant Fire Protection District and other community entities to build a stronger sense of community. “We need these activities to continue building our community ties,” Kaelin said. Florissant Heritage Day has been celebrated “at least since 1989,” according to Kaelin. Prior to that, the festival was known as Flo-Geo Day, when the communities of Lake George and Florissant got together to celebrate their connection and history. At 7 a.m., the Florissant Fire Department will sponsor a traditional Volunteer Firemen¹s Pancake Breakfast at the fire house until 11 a.m. From there, visitors can go to the Pikes Peak Historical Society Museum, Costello Street Coffee House (home of Judge
Costello, founder of the trading post that later became Florissant), Florissant Cemetery, Hornbek Homestead or the Old School House (Florissant Grange); all located within in close proximity to the town and each offering different aspects to the celebration. Festivities at the Florissant Grange No. 420 begin at 9 a.m. where burgers, brats and hot dogs will be served for lunch and live entertainment and a Victorian-style ice cream social will be held all day. Feature acts include award- winning cowboy poet Susie Knight and magician Dwayne Faux, along with ongoing live music featuring the Elbert Sisters, Mel March, and Rich Currier. Vendors and crafters will be on hand with handmade crafts and many other offerings. There will be historic readings and reenactments throughout the day including performances of gun shootouts and a historic plays. There will also be guided activities for children, including games and horseshoe throwing, and barrel train rides for smaller children. Bringing life back to the Hornbek Homestead, the Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument will hold an open house at the historic ranch where National Park Service staff and volunteers dressed in period clothing will demonstrate period crafts, lead pioneer games, churn butter, and bake bread using a wood-burning stove. Tours of the historic homestead will be conducted from10 a.m. until 3 p.m. Admission will cost $3 for adults 16 and older while children will be admitted for free. The Hombek Homestead is located down Teller 1, approximately 1.5 miles south of Hwy 24 out of Florissant. The Florissant Pioneer Cemetery will be open from 1-4 p.m. At 2 p.m. Knut and Donna Knudten will introduce some of the cemetery¹s most esteemed “residents” and conduct a scavenger hunt for both adults and children. For more information about Florissant Heritage Day, call Renee Caldwell at 719-748-0358 or Celinda Kaelin at 719748-3562. For more information about the Hornbek Homestead tours, call 719-7483253.

Ute Pass Protection Plan revived Spraying resumes on noxious weeds By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews.com After several years of dormancy, the 2007 Ute Pass Comprehensive Wildfire Protection Plan is being resurrected. In a report to the Green Mountain Falls board of trustees, Steve Spaulding, forest consultant, praised the original organizers of the plan, Kathy and Randy Backe. When the Backes moved from Chipita Park to Wisconsin, the energy and momentum behind the plan were lost. “The Green Mountain Falls/Chipita Park fire department has been kind enough to manage the plan, with debris chipping for free,” Spaulding said. “So we have a little bit of a budget
‘It’s time to get this organization rolling again and get the community involved, which is a key component.’ Steve Spaulding, forest consultant left; our next step is to bring the organization back.” To date, as a result of the protection plan, forested areas near the North Pole as well as in Cascade have been mitigated, Spaulding said. In Green Mountain Falls, 2,500 beetlekill and other dead trees were removed, with funds from federal and state grants. “The plan is good for five years; I don’t think we’re under any gun but we should do it by
2014,” Spaulding said. “The reason the plan is important is because it allows us to apply for grants.” Spaulding conveyed a sense of urgency in forming a volunteer board of directors to get the plan moving again. “You are at risk here; I don’t need to tell you that,” he said. “In my professional career of fighting fires I’ve never known fatalities and high loss of homes in two fires within 20 miles of one another, back to back.”
According to Spaulding, the odds aren’t good for the area’s escaping another disaster. “If I were a betting man, sometime around June next year, it wouldn’t shock me to see another one,” he said. Spaulding announced the first revival meeting the next night July 17 at the fire department. “I think the past two years have definitely given everybody a kick in the pants,” he said. “It’s time to get this organization rolling again and get the community involved, which is a key component.” In another mitigation effort, spraying for noxious weeds in town rights-of-way will begin the week of July 22, as a result of a grant through El Paso County. The work is done in conjunction with the town’s forestry consultant, Jinnie Grigsby. Grigsby also oversaw the removal of the 2,500 trees in Green Mountain Falls over the past eight years.

Depot Kiosk an Eagle Scout project Menz designs and constructs kiosk By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews.com An Eagle Scout project with long-term effects on the community, the kiosk at Midland Depot at Divide has put Zachary Menz in the limelight. The depot, a restoration project of Teller Historic Environmental Coalition, lacked an information kiosk. Menz designed the kiosk, secured the funding and materials and led a construction team of fellow scouts who built the kiosk over two weekends. “We provided him with some pictures so he could do a pictograph on one side of the history of the depot,” said Dave Martinek, project coordinator for THE coalition. “The other side holds a picture of the depot. And the wood for the kiosk is about the same color as the depot.” The restoration of the depot, which
served the Colorado Midland and Midland railroads until the mid-1900s, is being done in phases. “The next phase is the code work, the plumbing, the electricity and the heating,” Martinek said. With the kiosk Menz earned his Eagle Service Leadership badge. “He did an excellent job,” Martinek said. “The kiosk really does enhance the property.” Menz worked with graphic designer Miriam LeBold who designed the signs and had them printed at no charge while Foxworth Galbraith donated the materials for the project. The information kiosk provides a pictographic history of the depot from its inception in 1887 to the present. The original depot burned in the 1800s and the current depot was built in 1904 and will someday house historic exhibits, interpretive signage, educational programs and trailhead facilities. Menz, whose parents are Steve and Mary Menz, graduated in May from Woodland Park High School and will attend Colorado State University in Fort Collins in the fall.
Ice Cream social this Sunday The Cascade Women’s Social Club hosts the annual Ice Cream Social from 11 a.m.to 4 p.m. July 28 in the Cascade Park Pavilion. In addition to ice cream and hot dogs, the event includes live music and a silent auc-
tion. Guests are asked to bring a can or box of food for the community food pantry. For information, call 332-6418.

with her caveat to nixing the idea of weed in town. “I’m going to say something that I never thought, especially in the 70s, I’d say but I would like to move to prohibit marijuana facilities, effective immediately, based on what we’ve already looked at,” she said, referring to two public hearings on the first reading of the ordinance. “This is a bandaid
Green coming and going
aying -way ult ofBy Vic Vela workvvela@ourcoloradonews.com s forgsby There’s going to be a lot of green comtreesing and going from storefronts when retail eightmarijuana businesses start opening up in Colorado next year. Nevermind the drug, it’s the color of money. Stores that are legally able to sell pot typically operate on a cash-only basis because federal laws prohibit banks from doing business with them. But Colorado Rep. Ed Perlmutter is hoping to change all of that through a bill that would allow legitimate pot shops the ability to access banking services. “We gotta do it,” Perlmutter, a Golden Democrat, told Colorado Community Media in a recent interview. “We have got to get away from having them only deal with cash, which creates a lot of problems.” Perlmutter, along with Rep. Denny Heck, D-Washington, have introduced the Marijuana Business Access to Banking Act in Congress. The bill would shield banks and credit unions from prosecution for doing business with places that sell pot. “Right now we have a situation where a banker tells someone, ‘Wait a second, I’d love to do business with you, but I have law enforcement agencies watching me,’” Perlmutter said. “We have to move away from that.” Perlmutter said that operating on a cashonly basis invites crime, such as robbery and tax evasion. But, right now, federal law
does not allow exceptions to banking rules for states like Colorado, where either retail or medical marijuana businesses are legal. Retail pot shops will begin to open next year, under last year’s voter-approved Amendment 64. The Colorado Legislature recently put in place regulations on the new industry, but marijuana use and sales are still illegal under federal law. Perlmutter’s bill is receiving support from Colorado’s congressional delegation, with Reps. Jared Polis and Diana DeGette, both Democats, and Mike Coffman, a Republican, on board. The bill is being cosponsored by a bipartisan group of 16 lawmakers. But getting the bill through the rest of the Republican-controlled House of Representatives is a whole other story. “This will be a tough climb,” Perlmutter acknowledged. “I don’t want to kid you on that.” Perlmutter said that there will be hesitation from members of Congress who are not from states that allow marijuana sales. “A lot of folks are fearful of marijuana and it’s use and they’re resistant,” Perlmutter said. “So, we’ve got some work to do.” The bill has been assigned to the House Financial Services Committee. Perlmutter said that he has asked the committee chairperson to hold a hearing on the bill, but said that it’s still “very early in the process.” “It’s not going to be easy, but I think we can do it,” Perlmutter said.
situation.” Over the past few months, the board has expressed concern about going against federal law that prohibits the use and cultivation of recreational marijuana. The nay vote does not have to be permanent, Peterson said. “Our attorney (Lisa Tormoen Hickey) pointed out that this ordinance can be reviewed, amended or re-

Joseph Lesher had faith in Silver In 1873, the nation’s currency was placed on the gold standard. By 1893, the U.S. Government stopped buying silver all together. The price of silver plummeted as a result, and Colorado’s economy fell, head-over-heels down a mineshaft. With the destruction of the silver market, came the rise of Populist-Democratic politics in Colorado and the advocacy of return to bi-metalism via the free-silver movement. Joseph Lesher, a veteran miner of the silver camps of Georgetown, Central City, Leadville and the Silver San Juans, had by a stroke of fortune, switched metals at just the right time. But he wasn’t happy about it. Lesher invested in infrastructure and real estate in Victor and the Cripple Creek area in the early days of the “world’s greatest gold camp.” And he had become, according to the Victor Daily Record,
“one of the monied men of the camp.” But, noted the Record, “Mr. Lesher has faith in silver. He also has a sincere desire for its enlarged use.” He also still owned a silver mine in Central City. “Mr. Lesher had believed that it would be possible as well as beneficial for Colorado the coin its depreciated silver and use it to facilitate exchange and promote business,” said the November 13, 1900, Record.
To such ends, Lesher and others in Victor came to the following conclusion. “Victor has everything any other city has. Denver has a mint, so a Victor man has established a mint also. The Victor mint will coin nothing but silver dollars and the dollars will be worth 25 cents more than the Denver product.” Thus, the Lesher Referendum Medal was born. According to research Adna G. Wilde, of the American Numismatic Association in Colorado Springs, between 3,000 and 3,500 of the Lesher medals of different types were struck. The research involved interviews by Farran Zerbe of Lesher himself in 1914 (when Lesher was 74 years old.) Once again, as reported in the Record, “He calls them ‘referendum dollars’ because no one is compelled to take them against his will. In other words, they are referred to the
people for acceptance or rejection.” “Although Mr. Lesher is convinced that the intrinsic value of an ounce of silver is $1.29, he does not insist that everyone shall accept his valuation and is prepared to guarantee the parity of his dollars by redeeming each coin in lawful money of the United States. He keeps his cash at the Bank of Victor and expects to arrange with the cashier to cash the ‘referendum’ dollars in the same manner that checks are cashed.” Today, examples of the first 100 Lesher ‘Referendum’ medals struck that first day in Lesher’s residence in Victor, grace such prestigious collections as the Chase Manhattan Money Museum at the Smithsonian and of course, the American Numismatic Museum in Colorado Springs. Adna Wilde, Jr. of Colorado Springs is the recognized world authority on Lesher dollars and an ANA Hall of Famer.
Program digging deeper into public policy
Singing can make you happier and healthier “I’m singing in the rain. Just singing in the rain.” “What a glorious feeling. I’m happy again.” Can that be true? Could Gene Kelly have really been happy, while singing soaking wet? A series of recent research studies has found that people who sing in choirs are not only happier than the average bear they report greater satisfaction with life, have a more positive assessment of their overall health and may even have healthier hearts. According to researchers, choral singers tend to have a “stress-free zone” that is nurtured by their social commitment and interaction with other choir members and enhanced by the physical act of singing. The physiological effect of singing has been well documented in the study of songbirds. When male songbirds sing to their female counterpart, their brain releases chemicals akin to the “feel-good” endorphins released in the human brain during exercise. Interestingly, those chemicals are not released when the birds sing in solitude. According to an article on the Huffington Post website, Norwegian researchers recently found that singing in a choir helped form social bonds among 700 men and women employees who worked at two county hospitals. The individuals were divided into 21 choirs who met for monthly choral practice over a six month period. During the research study, several music videos of the choirs were recorded and four concerts were performed at the end of the six months. After the project, 426 of the choir singers were surveyed along with 1,000 other hospital employees who chose not to participate in the singing experiment. Those who had participated reported a higher commitment to their workplace with twice as many singers reporting an improvement in their overall general health compared to non-participants. Another study out of Sweden contends that singing in a choir not only helps promote mental and emotional well-being
but may contribute to good heart health as well. The research project at Sweden’s Gothenburg University studied the heart rates of the members of a high school choir, while they sang. The results were pretty amazing. Not only did the choral members’ heart rates slow down as they began to sing but their heart rates gradually synchronized eventually beating as one with the song’s tempo. “When you exhale (as you sing) you activate the vagus nerve, we think, that goes from the brain stem to the heart,” says Musicologist Bjorn Vickhoff, lead researcher. “And when that is activated, the heart beats slower.” Other experts say that the fact that choral singers need to concentrate on their music and technique during the singing process gives them a break from the stress and worries of everyday life. Plus, they need to learn new songs; harmonies and tempos, which keeps their brains active helping to fend off depression and dementia. Perhaps the next time you’re feeling blue or your find your heart racing, you should break into song – no matter where you are. Ella Fitzgerald would approve. She said, “The only thing better than singing is more singing.” Cord Prettyman is a certified Master Personal Trainer and the owner of Absolute Workout Fitness and Post-Re-hab Studio in Woodland Park.

An additional in-depth view on a tough question is always valuable. That’s the result we are hoping for following the announcement last week of an economic measurement initiative backed by several regional entities and tasked to be conducted by the Business Research Division of the University of Colorado at Boulder’s Leeds School of Business. The school will run the program on behalf of main funding sponsors the Metro Denver Economic Development Corp., the Denver South Economic Development Partnership and the Common Sense Policy Roundtable. This econometric model developed by Regional Economic Models Inc., or REMI, promises to break out costs, benefits, positives and negatives of state issues in greater detail for lawmakers, business leaders and in turn the public. The first project will take on Initiative 22 — expected to be on the ballot in November — which is a great choice. Gov. John Hickenlooper has already given an initial nod to Initiative 22, the type of tax measure that usually needs a push from the sitting governor to have a shot. The initiative asks voters to increase the state income tax rate from 4.63 to 5 percent for those making an income of $75,000 or less and 5.9 percent for income above that amount. Under the measure, the Legislature has put forth a plan to infuse the state with about $950 million for education. We are starting to see many questions generated about what the real impacts will be and where the money will actu-

our view ally go. So we are very pleased to see this economic model launched in time for this momentous decision. Typically in coverage of these major measures, we come across various evaluations, but too often the information comes from parties with clear interests — in extremes that can extend from hardened opposition to increased taxes to open arms for all funding for education. Kevin McCasky, president and CEO at Jefferson County Economic Development Corporation, is among those who welcomes the added analysis. He said that while the state does well breaking out the expenditures behind major policy changes, the full fiscal impacts are not as clear. In addition to producing more complete analysis, he said the econometric model will be neutral, not colored by political frameworks. We have been reminded that the econometric model is a tool, but at first look it appears to be a very good one. Our hope is that this new analysis offers a valuable breakout that covers key factors quickly and clearly in a way that cuts to the core of issues more quickly. Further we hope to see the process have an impact in the vetting process for public policy in formative stages.

Mayor pro tem fights back on recall Newberry releases letter addressed to “Friends”
Dear Friends, I’ve been notified that I - along with the majority of Board of Trustee members of the Town of Green Mountain Falls-- are under a recall attempt. While I support the right of anyone to try to recall anyone else in the democratic system, I feel that we have been portrayed falsely in this age of Facebook innuendo and blogging hype. So I’m jumping on my soapbox and hoping that the word gets out. Please do not take offense if I’m saying “You.” I don’t mean you personally, but you’ll get the drift. 1) I am dismayed at the charges leveled against the board about not including the mayor or the public regarding possible changes in the marshal’s department. Nothing has been brought before the board, because only research has been done. No proposals have been made, nothing has been brought forth to be changed. Before any change could be made a proposal would have to be brought before the Board, and time allowed for research, reading, discussion and most certainly public comment. The mayor charged all of us as a board, to “think outside the box. Don’t do things the way they’ve always been done just because they’ve always been done this way.” Instead of congratulating a board member for at least thinking about what can be changed - and perhaps saving money—we have been vilified, and now are being threatened. If you don’t think recall is a threat, perhaps you’ve never been scrutinized like this. Additionally, most of the Board members do research on a variety of subjects. This is a small town and since we are limited in staff, it is necessary to be creative. Not all things come up before the board. Do you really want to hear about the six different accounting packages we researched? I didn’t think so. 2) Charges that we don’t listen to the citizens. I attended the “Recall the Board” meeting held last Sunday. I felt that we had a very civil discourse, that I answered a lot of questions and that most people left feeling a bit more satisfied. 3) Part of the “Recall the Board” group - a very vocal part - is being led by a group of citizens who would prefer that the town be unincorporated. If this happened by a majority vote of the registered voters, the town of Green Mountain Falls - and indeed the neighboring communities-- stand to lose a lot. Un-incorporation would mean that Town Hall would be gone, Public Works would be gone and the Marshal’s office would be gone. El Paso County has already said they do not have the budget to maintain our parks. So say good-bye to the pool, the tennis court and the basketball court. They may or may not be able to mow. Watering of the grass will be over. Say good-bye to the lake. It will get filled in and with luck they’ll maintain the gazebo and Land Office building. Or not, it depends on their budget. No more lighting in that park, that costs money. Volunteers may fill in for these needs for a while, but anyone who has been in a volunteer organization knows how hard it is to keep that going. El Paso County Sheriff would cover for the marshal’s office. It works, but believe me - they will not do code enforcement. So - without that service, your property values will decrease. No Town Hall - no permitting (except through Regional Building), no planning commission which will decrease your property’s value. It’s just the way it is. Oh, your roads will get plowed but you won’t get them plowed in the timely manner you’re used to. The roads won’t be
maintained as well as they are now. We will definitely be way down on the County’s priority list because they are used to us taking care of things ourselves. They will do it, but they really don’t want to take on any further burden. And trust me on this - you think that your board doesn’t listen to you? Try bringing some of your grievances before the El Paso County Commissioners. Instead of being a citizen in a town of about 700, you are now one of 644,964 (2012 estimate). 4) Why are people so enamored with Facebook and blogging? Is it because they can hide behind the computer and become the person they wish they were out in the real world? Proclaiming non-existent superiority and fanning rumor flames? Is it the fantasy of being a hero of the people, when in reality they are spreading misinformation, lies, speculation? Rumors are juicy, no doubt. The truth is often much more dry, much less amusing and much less controversial. Why ask someone else, when you can get together with your Facebook friends - some of whom you probably wouldn’t even recognize if you saw them on the street - and go wild, building up a world that may not be so. 5) I have knowledge and education about our town and the state. This is my second full-term in office (I also served a partial term for someone who left). I have educated myself on our town codes, and on state statutes. I have attended multiple Colorado Municipal League meetings and workshops. I have met the governor and the mayors of neighboring towns. Please do not accuse me of being uneducated or say that I do not care about the laws. I absolutely do not know everything but I have a pretty good idea of whom to ask or where to look. I learned how to write ordinances and research items by doing. That is part of having a solid work ethic. 6) I have a solid track record of good work for the town. I’ve brought in a grant to refinish the tennis court. I brought in a grant to get a new fence at the pool and redo the basketball courts. I have challenged the federal census numbers to try to bring more money into the town. I’ve written a fair number of ordinances to bring about better ways of doing things. I signed - and worked on -- the FEMA grant to bring money back from the federal government to pay back the county. And further - I will bet you that everyone on the Board that is now under recall has important, interesting things to bring to the table. They may not have served as long, but they definitely have experience in business, or in volunteering or in just flat caring about what happens. Some have served longer than I have - they know things. They know how to do things and in a town our size, that experience and that ability and willingness to do work is very important. I would say it is more important than just giving lip service to their opinions. I used to say that everyone on the board had their heart in the right place about the town, even if we didn’t agree about everything. But now I am not so sure. It seems that there are egos in play here, but they are not from the people who are doing work. I’ve kept my head down, hoping that time and education would create more harmony and less conflict. Unfortunately the opposite has been true. Rumors abound, but since we now care more about having an online profile than a genuine friendship, no one cares to ask for the whole truth. Sincerely, Jane Newberry Mayor pro tem Green Mountain Falls

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Government out of control
A very good example of how Government is out of control was very apparent at the Teller County Board of Commissioners hearing on Monday night, July 8, 2013. A request to change the Divide Region Growth Map was presented to the Commission on June 27, 2013 at their normal 9 a.m. hearing. This change was being requested by the Golden Bell Camp and Conference Center, one of the largest religious camps in Teller County. This camp has already developed over 150 acres, and now wants to develop an additional 165 acres. When the camp formed in 1968 it was the only thing in the area. Now it is completely surrounded by rural residents and open pasture land. This map change will allow them to build soccer and ball fields, a shooting range, and maintenance facilities to name but a few of the projects, directly across from these rural residents. We bought and moved to the area for the beauty of the land, the wildlife, a! nd the quietness of the forest. If we had wanted to live next to soccer and ball fields, a shooting range, and maintenance facilities next to us, we would have stayed in the city. This area is designated as a scenic viewing area, and also designated by The Department of Wildlife as a high impact area for all forms of wildlife. There were so many local residents to speak against the change at the regular hearing, it was decided to continue to an evening time. This has not happened in most everyone’s memory. The hearing room was filled with residents opposed to the change. The Commissioners were given a petition with 173 signatures of residents protesting the change, yet the Commission voted to allow it. The people who spoke showed over and over that it was against the County regulations and plans. This had nothing to do with religion, but was just another developer trying to make more money at the expense of the local residents. Two of the Commissioners admitted that they could go either way with their decision, but decided to go with big business. This wasn’t considered newsworthy by the Courier, with no reporter present.

Why my flag is inverted
Dear Mr. Carrigan, My family and I have been the target of insults, rude comments and even overt threats because I have chosen to openly display my disagreement with the current federal administration and the recent extreme and restrictive laws passed by the current Colorado legislature. Because of these politicians’ unconstitutional laws and heavy-handed tactics, I fly my US flag inverted as a sign of my belief that the nation is in dire distress to the point of collapse. I have given over half of my life in service to this country that I love. I am also a 100% service-connect disabled veteran. Therefore, I have earned my right to an opinion, a freedom that I’ve defended with my life and my health. I would never desecrate the flag of the great nation that my family has defended for generations. Nor will I abide anyone doing so. Any person that does not see things my way is “free to disagree”—that’s what this country is all about. My only caveat is that it is done with civility. My family and I have endured statements like, “I hope you have good fire insurance.” Or “Why don’t you just move?” There have been others that are too offensive to discuss here. These types of rude comments reveal the intolerance and coarse behavior that now permeates the fabric of our nation by an increasingly reactive and abusive minority of the uninformed. American author and essayist Edward Abbey stated that, “A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government.” Andrew Jackson believed that, “One man with courage makes a majority.” But I suppose that I agree more with Barry Goldwater’s statement that, “Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. Tolerance in the face of tyranny is no virtue.” Buck Dugger, Woodland Park

No far-off land for these missionaries 10:45 a.m. Bob, 65, sits on a low shady wall in the small quiet park sandwiched between the state Capitol and Civic Center in Denver. Headphones in one ear, he is listening to Rush Limbaugh, his belongings packed tightly into the bulging backpacks on either side of him. Along with a few other men perched farther down the wall or lounging under leafy trees, he is waiting. 11:10. The park is suddenly busy. Within minutes, a cluster of young men and women have set up white tents and tables upon which a buffet of food begins to appear. 11:45. A line has started to form as trays of chicken shish kebab are brought to the tables, now laden with bowls and trays of watermelon and fruits, potato and green bean salads, chocolate chip cookies, water, lemonade and other flavored drinks. “They give a good meal,” says Bob, eyes crinkling under a blue winter cap, the muffs pinned above his ears, three binder clips snapped on the brim. A sparse, black beard and mustache streaked with thick gray whiskers frame his tanned face. The food is good. But the conversation is better. “They’ll talk to you,” Bob says. “It’s pretty neat.” ••• They are young Catholic missionaries, who since Thanksgiving 2011 have turned the second Saturday of the month into Lunch in the Park for the homeless in downtown Denver. With help and donations from church volunteers around the metro area, they bring home-cooked meals to Lincoln Park, in the heat of summer and the cold of winter. But the real gift they bring is one many take for granted — someone to talk to, someone to listen, a human connection. “This lunch is wonderful,” Bill, 60, says in a soft voice as he sits on the grass, eating. “But that doesn’t even touch what they’ve done for me. ... I got a lot of my dignity back from them.” The missionaries of Christ in the City, a Catholic service organization that asks young people between 18 and 29 to
dedicate one semester to a year working with the poor and other marginalized segments of society, come from throughout the country. They hope to grow spiritually while ministering — mind, body and spirit — to those in need. They find connections to resources and mental health support, if needed. They provide food, sleeping bags, clothes. They talk about God, if asked. But more than anything, they offer friendship. Under a blue tent just across from the buffet, Kati Belsole places a statue of the Virgin Mary on a card table in preparation for the recitation of the rosary, which takes place before food is served. She is 23, from New York, with a degree in theology, and she talks passionately about her desire to share God’s mercy with the poor and homeless. But “part of our ministry is just that conversation element, showing people they have dignity and they’re worth it,” she says. “They’re worth it just because of the fact they’re a person.” She arranges a vase of red and white fabric roses next to the statue, along with a large crucifix and wooden rosaries she’ll hand to those in the park who want them. “We really want to know the person, their joys and their struggles,” Belsole says. “It’s a relational thing. We really try to remember people’s names and their stories.” ••• Bill will tell you his story is one of redemption. The missionaries found him on the 16th Street Mall nine months ago. He was drinking every day. “They would stop and talk to me.” A

beauty that can be drawn in the middle of suffering — even if the situation is bad and ugly, good can be drawn from it.” On this Saturday in the park, he sits down next to Jessica. A pretty mother of two, she is 32. She has carefully braided her hair and shadowed her eyes. She wears hoops in her ears and bracelets, a bright red sundress and pink fingernail polish. She is homeless, she says, because of a series of bad decisions. Her children are with her mother. Jessica savors the home-cooked meals. “They’re always made with love, and that’s what gets me.” She is grateful, too, for Alex and the others. “They pray with us, and we need all the prayers we can get,” she says. “They’re here for us, for me. Just being there and listening.” She glances at Alex, arms hooked around his legs, whose year in Denver is almost over. “He’ll be leaving soon,” she says. “And then I’ll have to start all over.” ••• 1:15 p.m. Tables have been cleared and leftover food given away. Pockets of people remain, sitting on the ground or standing, missionaries and their street friends still deep in conversation. “The ‘64 Wildcat — the red one I was talking about?” a man with long, gray scraggly hair and beard says to his young listener. “That’s what it was called?” “I had to replace the windshield because it was cracked and I had to replace it with a clear windshield. I said, `Man, this windshield looks like my forehead!’” The two laugh. And the laughter lingers, its echo of a simple joyous moment a sweet reminder about the transforming power of human connection.

slight man, he wears wire-rim glasses and a cap. “Without fail, if I was there, I would see them.” He pauses, takes a bite from his plate. “Well, I’ve had people make a little effort, but I’ve never had anyone come every day that I could count on.” Recently, Bill says, a car hit him as he was crossing a street. The collision put him in the hospital for three weeks. “They would come see me every day, pray for me. When I started getting better, they still came by.” Raised in the Catholic faith, Bill began talking about God. “They helped me get my life back spiritually, even physically.” He has not had a drink, he says, in five months. He is living at Samaritan House shelter, working toward a job and his own place. Early next month, he will see his sister from Indiana for the first time in 1½ years. “They’ll just take you on a human basis,” Bill says. “People who have been in the position I was in, we just don’t have many people who we can talk to on a normal level, whatever that might be. And they gave me confidence to talk to other people I normally wouldn’t have talked to.” He is quiet. “I don’t know how to put into words how thankful I am.” ••• Alex Lambis, 23, is a college graduate from Orlando with a degree in interpersonal communication. He spends two hours each day wandering the streets of Capitol Hill. He has come to know many of its homeless residents well. There’s Zachary, artistic and creative. And Art, tender and caring. Bernie is open and genuine. Jessica — loving, motherly. “I’ve had people ask me why I’m out there every day,” Alex says. “I say, `We’re just out here, to hang out with you guys and see how you’re doing.’ ... I think the constant presence makes a difference. It takes perseverance and constant effort and not giving up on people.” Alex has learned much about faith and human dignity from his friends on the street. He’s become more compassionate, he says.

IDIA hosts first Women’s Expo in WP By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews. com The Teller County Women’s Expo, a fundraiser for Safe Harbor, is from 11 a.m.to 3 p.m. July 27 at the Woodland Park library. In the article in the July 17 edition of the Courier, the date was wrong. The inaugural Teller County Women’s Expo takes off July 27 at the Woodland Park library. Hosted by IDIA, Independent Distributors in Action, the expo is a promotion for the group as well as a benefit for Teller Safe Harbor. The expo showcases women’s home-based businesses that include photography, skin care-products, juices, makeup and jewelry. “We do special events in the community and try to support each other’s businesses,” said Deb Idleman, who with Sheena Harper, Jana Lundh, Christian Vilgiate, Valerie Grubb and Donna Coyle, heads up the expo committee. “We chose the nonprofit Safe Harbor because it benefits women.” A grassroots effort, Safe Harbor was founded nearly 10 years ago by Jan McKamy, Victim Advocate for the Teller County Sheriff’s Office and the Woodland Park Police Department, along with Vickie Gudaitis, who markets Mary Kay products. Safe Harbor, a nonprofit organization, is dedicated to supporting men and women who are victims of domestic violence in Teller County.
Business owners from Independent Distributors in Action, IDIA, talk about the upcoming Teller Women’s Expo, a fundraiser they’re hosting for Teller Safe Harbor.

Front row, from left, Donna Coyle, Deb Idleman and Sheena HarperPhoto by Pat Hill “We will provide whatever services are needed in the short term,” said Doug Randolph, the board president. Recently, Safe Harbor added programs to help victims of sexual assault, an expansion for which Randolph credits Mark Manriquez, who is a board member of the organization. “Mark was in law enforcement in San Diego and was instrumental in getting
sexual-assault programs started there,” Randolph said. A common problem for support groups such as Safe Harbor is the reluctance of victims to report physical abuse; nationally one in seven victims come forward. “There are lots of reasons why they don’t reach out,” Randolph said. Some victims are con-
Pikes Peak or Bust I am regularly asked about this name. It was painted on covered wagons, even push carts, of people heading west. So were they coming here? No, they were actually heading for Denver! The problem was, in the late 1840’s no one ever heard of Denver, and as such it would be a couple years before there was a place called Denver. The one landmark that people had heard of was Pike’s Peak. We know Zebulon Pike was following the Arkansas River, southern limit of the Louisiana Purchase in 1806. Like Louis and Clark up north were looking for a route to the Pacific. Pike had followed the Mississippi River up into present day Minnesota before being sent to follow the Arkansas. He did alright until he headed south on his way back. He was up near present day Salida heading over the hills toward the San Luis Valley. Along the way the Spanish, or Mexican, soldiers arrested him and his crew as spies and took them on through New Mexico to Mexico. Eventually they let him go. He returned through Texas. When Pike returned to Washington, D.C. he reconstructed his notes, which the Spanish had confiscated. He called the mountain a grand peak. As his stories were published people started calling the mountain Pike’s Peak. In 1820, Dr. Edwin James, part of the General Stephen Long expedition to get more information in the Louisiana Purchase area retraced some of Pike’s area,
including taking a hike to the top of the mountain. After a three day summertime hike, James returned to the Long party with news of what he had found. Not only had he been on the summit, but he found plants and animals he had never seen before. Long christened the mountain James Peak, but thanks to the media of the time most still called it Pike’s Peak. The 1849 gold rush to California saw a little activity in Colorado, but most went south over the Santa Fe Trail, which was then inside the United States. Some of the travelers used the famous Oregon Trail, which just missed what would be Colorado. In the next 10 years more visitors found their way to Colorado. When gold was found near Cherry Creek, and the town started, it would be a while before it became Denver. The cry in the east was Pike’s Peak or Bust even though they were not headed here, yet. A few did find their way to behind the mountain, but that is another story!

cerned about their pets if they flee the domestic situation. “If pets need foster
care or a kennel, we will cover the cost for a few days until the person gets orga-
nized,” Randolph said. In the past the work of Safe Harbor was generally unknown. That has changed, as a result of two $5,000 grants from El Pomar Foundation. “Until a couple of years ago, Teller Safe Harbor operated on a shoestring,” Randolph said. “Now we can afford to put people up in a motel, either locally or not.” On a day in April, stylists at Capelli salon in Woodland Park held a fundraising event for Safe Harbor. With money in the bank, the organization is supporting more victims while maintaining its long-term goal of funding a safe house somewhere in Teller County. To raise funds for the organization, the IDIA women are donating their vendor fees as well as a portion of the profits from the day’s expo. “The expo is more of an opportunity to raise awareness for Teller Safe Harbor,” Idleman said. The Teller Women’s Expo is from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. July 27 at the Woodland Park library. For information about vendor booths, call 3395877.

County fair includes old and new Open class changes to Thursday By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews. com A change from the oldfashioned idea of the county fair, this year’s event in Teller County includes a leap into technology while maintaining its agricultural distinction. To enhance the pizazz on the county fair this year, the organizers are lengthening the event from one to two weeks, including two full weekends, from June 27 to Aug 4. In a time when young people are the technological gurus of the age, the fair offers an explosion of opportunities at Education Day July 30. A scavenger hunt, aka geocaching, for kids highlights this year’s theme of “Pioneer Days to Modern Ways.” Rather than running around looking all over the place for hidden objects, kids have a technological edge with a GPS locator.
The hunt and other youth activities are intended to spotlight the know-how of the county’s 4H members. “Ultimately, we’re hoping kids will get excited about 4H,” said Connie Smith, a fair volunteer. “The clubs give kids a different experience compared to what they might get sitting in front of the television or playing video games.” With robotics, gardening, cake decorating, petting zoo and show-and-tell exhibits on conservation and renewable energy, the kids’ activities combine the old and the new. In a rural county where learning to shoot is a rite of passage, Education Day offers enhanced opportunities. “We’ll have an air rifle booth and presentations about how fun shooting can be,” said Mark Platten, director of Colorado’s extension office in Teller County, which coordinates the 4H program. “Bob Tyler’s presentations are about understanding, respect, responsibility, safety and the mental aspect of guns.”
For adults as well as students, a vital part of the county fair is the open-class judging where residents get that yearly chance to exhibit their expertise in fields ranging from cooking and horticulture to arts and crafts. The organizers have emphasized that the deadline for entries has changed from the traditional Friday to Thursday, Aug. 1. Entries are accepted from 9 to 11:30 a.m. Another change is the time of the 4H livestock auction, which is at 6 p.m. Aug. 2. “A lot of kids are successful enough in the auction that they’re paying for their college,” Smith said. The fair opens on a sentimental note with a performance by the Flying W Wranglers, who lost their permanent home, the Flying W Ranch, in the Waldo Canyon Fire last year. The Wranglers perform from 7 to 9 p.m. July 27 at the fairgrounds in Cripple Creek. For information and a schedule, go to: http:// www.tcafas.org/schedule-map.html.

Fiddles, Vittles and Vino at Rockledge Ranch By Danny Summers
Dsummers@ourcoloradonews.com Fiddles, Vittles and Vino will take place Sunday, July 28 at Rock Ledge Ranch in Colorado Springs from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Fiddles, Vittles and Vino is an annual event that occurs at the historic site, located along 30th Street near the Pleasant Valley area on the west side of the city. It features
live bluegrass music and a tasting involving fine local restaurants as well as a plethora of wine and beer vendors. Among the acts scheduled to appear are Rockygrass winners (and newly minted winners of the 2013 Telluride Bluegrass Band competition) Front Country, The Honey Dewdrops, Jody Adams and the String Dudes, and I Draw Slow from Ireland. Tickets for the event are $45 for adults,
$20 for kids. Living History Association members can purchase tickets at the Ranch for a discount. Call 719-578-6777. Proceeds from the festival are donated to Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site. The event is put on by Club Nine, a non-profit consisting of local civic-minded chefs. They donate the proceeds from Fiddles, Vittles and Vino to further agricultural programs at Rock Ledge Ranch.
So far, the fruits of their labor include funding apple trees to rejuvenate the property’s orchard, as well as an asparagus and berry crop. Club Nine hopes to eventually fund larger projects such as the construction of a green house. Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site is an educational, non-profit living history farm and museum.
Residents asked to respond Survey to identify risks By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews.com With the ongoing threat of weather-related disasters, a 35-question online survey is designed to offer citizens the opportunity to help update the Teller County hazardmitigation five-year plan. “We’ve got to look at what things can cause problems,” said Sgt. Jim Halloran, emergency manager with the Woodland Park Police Department. “And then we rate them as most important and what we can do to make it better.” Teller County officials as well as those in Woodland Park and Cripple Creek rely on the public to express concerns about possible hazards. “We’ve got to get it done and to the state by the end of the year,” Halloran said.
While the climate and amenities in Teller County are ideal on most days, possible hazards the residents face are wildfires, prolonged electrical failure, drought, severe winter weather and landslides, for instance. Residents can make a difference. In the most recent five-year plan, Woodland Park residents who live near Aspen Garden Way and Fairview were concerned about flooding from stream runoff. “We had to upgrade the stormwater drainage,” Halloran said. “We have actually done what we were asked to do. So now we want to see what else we need to know and work on. Maybe we need public education.” Eleven years ago when the Hayman Fire destroyed 137,000 acres in June 2002, city and county officials were instrumental in securing grant-funded mitigation projects as a result of the Healthy Forest Initiative. “A picture of the forest hundred years ago is just amazing; the forest wasn’t so
hazard mitigation A press release from Laura Johnston, regional manager with Tetra Tech, the company hired to manage the update, offers additional information: Hazard mitigation planning is a proactive effort to identify actions that can be taken to reduce the dangers to life and property from natural hazard events. The development of short-, mid- and long-term strategies/action is the culmination of the mitigation planning process. These strategies can include planning, policy and regulation changes, educational programs, infrastructure projects and other activities intended to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to people and their property from hazards. It is a component of overall county comprehensive planning efforts that can
thick back then,” Halloran said. “We hadn’t been cutting trees down so we kind of need to go back to where we were. The HFI was great.”
help create a safer and more sustainable community The Federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 requires all jurisdictions that wish to be eligible to receive FEMA funding for hazard mitigation grants, to adopt a local multi-hazard mitigation plan and update this plan in five-year intervals. Public participation is an important part of this planning process and members of the Teller County and its communities are encouraged to submit comments and questions. There are actual statutory requirements regarding public participation. The online survey can be found at woodlandparkchamber. com or at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Teller_County_ Community_Survey_HMP_Update.
However, in a time of extreme weather patterns, with mud slides an ongoing concern on Ute Pass, the survey is a chance to help residents prepare for emergencies.

Every year, since 1895, ‘World Celebration’ occurs More than 500 attended this years annual Gold Rush Days in Victor. Gold Rush Days started in 1895 as the “World Celebration” in celebration of the town’s incorporation as a city July 16, 1894, and honored Victor C. Adams, one of Victor’s original settlers, and the man Victor was named after. Because mining moved into the area and changed the face of the town, the celebration was next billed as the “Annual Miners Reunion” and consisted of a carnival and street parade.

A member of Victor Heritage Society portrays one of Gold Camp’s most famous miners, Jack Dempsey in the Sunday afternoon parade. Dempsey worked at both the Portland Mine in Victor and Mollie Kathleen in Cripple Creek while training for his boxing career, which certainly brought him more fame and fortune.
Antique cars and tractors were everywhere in Victor this weekend as the city celebrated their rich and varied history in the gold mining area of southern Teller County.
Vintage trucks, cars and fire engines participated in the Gold Rush Days parade. Most were tossing candy out to the children who lined the streets with their parents. It was a mad rush to see who collected the most loot.
A parade celebrating the Gold Rush Days in the late 1800’s would not be complete without a few saloon girls dancing down Victor Avenue.

Black Forest Fire insurance claims nearing 4,000 The fire is the second most destrucive in Colorado history By Danny Summers
Dsummers@ourcoloradonews.com Reports in June indicated that the Black Forest Fire would likely make history as the most destructive in Colorado annals. But that might not be the case after all. Through July 15, the Black Forest Fire generated 3,630 claims, accounting for nearly $300 million, according to information released by the Rocky Mountain Insurance Information Association last week. Those numbers lag behind the 6,648 claims costing $453.7 million, from the 2012 Waldo Canyon fire - the most destructive in Colorado history. The Black Forest Fire destroyed 488 homes (that figure continues to be updat-
ed) and burned more 14,000 acres. Original reports had 511 homes destroyed, but that number was revised earlier this month. The fire began on June 11 and was finally out on June 20. The Waldo Canyon Fire consumed 347 homes and burned more than 18,000 acres. “Insured losses have so much to do with where a fire occurred and what type of properties were in that area,” said Carole Walker, executive director of the RMIIA, in a statement. Walker added that the Black Forest fire hit a more rural area containing a wide range of homes. They ranged from homes worth millions to dilapidated cabins and trailers. The Waldo Canyon Fire, on the other hand, hit the denser Mountain Shadows subdivision of northwest Colorado Springs where the majority of homes ranged anywhere from $300,000 $400,000, or more.
The value of claims from the Waldo Canyon fire rose nearly 29 percent from the preliminary estimate to a year after the fire, according to the RMIIA. Property owners have a year to file claims against their policies. Claims from the Black Forest fire are expected to rise in coming months. “Insurers think they have heard from those customers facing a total loss in Black Forest by now,” Walker said. Walker estimated that if the Black Forest fire could generate claims that would come in around $377 million. That would rank it as the second most destructive wildfire in state history in dollar terms. Walker and the RMIIA believes that due to the increase in wildfires in recent years, both homeowners and insurers seem to be better prepared to handle catastrophic losses.

By the end of July, 580 children and 150 teenagers registered for the programs at the libraries in Woodland Park and Florissant.

As recent incidents of flash flooding off the Waldo Canyon Fire burn scar have shown, wildfires dramatically alter watershed behavior; areas that have never experienced floods before may now be at risk for flash flooding. Residents are again reminded that there is a standard 30 day waiting period for NFIP
flood insurance to take effect. Through special legislation enacted after the Waldo Canyon Fire, the 30 day waiting period was extended but only for specific fires originating of federally owned land. At this time no waver of the 30 day waiting period is expected for the Black Forest Fire.

What If?
exercise lively Residents envision changes to Memorial Park By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews.com A chance to envision improvements to Memorial Park, a group exercise had residents in a collective huddle. “This diamond in our city, it’s a little rough right now,” said Dave Morrison who, with Bryan Kniep and David Mijares, hosted the session July 17 at the Ute Pass Cultural
Center. The three, with Land Patterns, Inc., were selected by the city of Woodland Park to design a master plan for the park. “As a design team we believe the most important aspect is your input,” Morrison said. “This park belongs to you folks.” Asked to identify the park’s character, the residents named the lake, its central location, a place for families, its beauty and meaning to the community. Morrison enhanced the group’s energy by asking for identity points such as the pond, the stone fireplace and the me-

morials. No matter how the plan shakes out, the residents agreed that the “sacred cows” must remain, although the pond might be reduced. Among the ideas flowing from the audience were a covered picnic area, a trail around the perimeter, benches around the chimney as well as the pond, a covered pavilion with larger seating for performances and more parking areas. “I want you to dream today; this is critical, a great design is based on great dreams, Morrison said. “If you had all the money in the world,
I want you to tell us what your dream park is going to include.” The three, along with Cindy Keating, director of the city’s parks and recreation department, host a second visioning session July 24. Residents have also been asked to express their opinions in a survey. As of late July, 170 responses had been received by the parks department. Land Patterns, Inc. is scheduled to begin the design process in August, with future public meetings and final adoption by the Woodland Park City Council.
This yellow building, once the luggage house for the Midland Railroad, and formerly the site of the Clothes Closet, may be used as a community restroom for the Memorial Park refurbishing project.

Sheriff Maketa has not announced he will run for a higher office and is concentrating on his responsibilities as sheriff By Lisa Collacott
lcollacott@ourcoloradonews.com El Paso County Sheriff Terry Maketa has received praise for his handling of the Black Forest Fire and his stance on gun control laws and many in the community think he should make a run for governor but he is not planning to run for office. According to an article in the Gazette Maketa said he will not run for
office and his announcement ends political speculation that he will. In the article the Gazette states that Maketa wants a break and will focus on a family owned Maketa business in Alaska when his term for sheriff ends in 2014. The article also states that although there are no plans to run for office now Maketa doesn’t rule out the possibility a few years down the road. However on the sheriff’s Facebook page Maketa said he never made an announcement and that he was asked to do an interview for a profile story. “There was no abrupt announce-
ment…he (the reporter) asked if I was looking at running for higher office. I told him no, and stated at this time I didn’t see myself running for another office. I clearly told him I may change my mind at some point but that I didn’t see that happening. It’s actually pretty upsetting that I am claimed to have made that announcement when I never made an announcement I was interested in running for a higher office,” Maketa wrote on his Facebook page. “I still am very invested in fulfilling my responsibilities in the current office I hold.” The Tribune attempted to contact Maketa for an interview but was told by the public information officer that he has chosen not to interview on this topic right now. The Tribune was referred to his Facebook page.

Woodland Park host of state tournament Meadow Wood Park will be the setting for eight-team tourney By Danny Summers
Dsummers@ourcoloradonews. com The American Legion state baseball tournament returns to Woodland Park this week. Eight teams from around the state will compete for the top prize in a double-elimination tournament at Meadow Wood Park. Woodland Park is hosting
the tournament for the first time since 2006, when it won it all. “Holding the state tournament gives us a chance to showcase our field,” said Woodland Park coach Cliff Richardson. “I believe we have one of the best fields in the state. We want to show off all of Woodland Park in the process.” The tournament involves “B” legion teams - the equivalent of each school’s varsity programs. Woodland Park gained automatic entry into the tournament because it is hosting. The championship game is slated for Sunday at noon. “This is really cool for us,” Rich-
ardson said. “It’s kind of exciting.” The tournament is being spearheaded by Woodland Park mayor Dave Turley, who oversees the Post 1980 Legion program. “As tournament chairman and Woodland Park’s mayor, I am doubly honored that we are the host for the Colorado American Legion State `B’ Tournament once again,” Turley said. “The competition from across the state is quite tough, but it gives our players great exposure to many teams that they normally would not see during the school year.

“We look forward to a great season of Woodland Park baseball in spring 2014. Legion ball is an essential part of the preparation for our local players. The Woodland Park Chamber of Commerce is preparing gift baskets for families of visiting teams. “It should be a great four-day event, and we encourage our community to stop out at Panther Field and enjoy some great youth baseball at one of the most beautiful settings for such games,” the mayor said. There will be an admission charge of $5 a day, or a family pass of $25 for the weekend. T-shirts, programs, collectable pins and concessions will also be made available for sale. Legion members who would like to come and watch get in free and will be able to sit in a special shaded seating section. Woodland Park had another successful summer, posting a 7-3 record in league play, 11-5 overall. They finished second in their league behind Liberty. Junior Dakota Herman, the team’s No. 1 catcher, emerged as a solid pitcher and is expected to see extensive time on the mound in 2014. Keegan Harman and Kayden Osborn also enjoyed success on the mound and will be counted upon to take charge next season. Logan Watters, the team’s starting center fielder and cleanup hitter, saw plenty of time behind the

Newcomers Nash Graychowski and Anthony Woods also made an impact. “We really played well as a team this summer,” Richardson said. “We had a lot of two-out clutch hits all the way up and down the order. “I think we found our identity as a team and we’re going forward in a positive direction.”
