Flash flood kills Teller County man U.S. Highway 24 reopened, extensive damage in Manitou By Rob Carrigan
rcarrigan@ourcoloradonews.com A Teller county man has been identified as the victim of Friday evening’s flood in the lower Ute Pass area on U.S. Highway 24. “The victim who died along Highway 24 near mile marker 297 during the flash flood on August 9, 2013 has been identified as 53-year-old John Collins of Teller County. Mr. Collins’ body was recovered from a large amount of debris which covered the westbound lanes of Highway 24. His vehicle was in the same general area but further west on Highway 24; it is unknown if Mr. Collins exited his vehicle by choice or if the rapidly rushing water and debris forced him from his vehicle,” according to a release from El
Paso County Sheriff’s Office. “According to the El Paso County Coroner’s Office, the cause of Mr. Collins’ death is believed to be drowning,” the release said. “The Sheriff’s Office extends its heartfelt condolences to the family and friends Mr. Collins leaves behind. The Collins family has asked members of the media to respect their privacy during this trying time.” “The body was not inside a vehicle and much of the body was buried beneath significant amounts of debris on the westbound lanes of Highway 24,” said an earlier release from El Paso County Sheriff’s Office. Nearly 1.5 inches of rain fell in 30 minutes on Friday night in an area devastated by a wildfire last year, causing a creek to overflow its banks and cascade across a state highway and into the town of Manitou Springs, about 6.5 miles west of Colorado Springs. Manitou Springs Police Chief Joe Ribeiro told a news conference on Saturday that Flood continues on Page 13

Top day hikes in Teller County Well over 1,000 trails to choose from By Sherri Albertson No matter the season, Teller County offers up some of the most beautiful hiking trails in Colorado. There are well over a thousand trails to choose from mostly ranging from easy to moderate - and suitable for families to enjoy a pleasant day in our amazing moun-
tain habitat. Trails zigzag across the entire county including the communities of Woodland Park, Divide, Cripple Creek and Florissant and branching out into the Pike National Forest, Mueller State Park and Eleven Mile State Park and more. Let’s take a look at a few of the most popular “Great Hikes Above the Clouds”
POSTAL ADDRESS
day hikes according to the Greater Woodland Park Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau.
The Crags
Distance: 4.2 miles round trip (out and back) Located only minutes from Divide heading south on Hwy 67, this family and dog-friendly trail features streams, meadows, forests, amazing rock formations and great views. Although a branch of this trail is avail-
able for more experienced hikers to climb to the summit of Pikes Peak, the easy to follow main branch will lead you to a fantastic lunch spot where you can oversee the North and South Catamount and Crystal Reservoirs. Don’t miss the incredible, natural cave about halfway to the top.
By the end of September, Woodland Park will have a new look and a positive direction. The economic snap is a result of the work by the Downtown Development Authority authorized by district voters more than 10 years ago. “It’s been an up and down relationship with the community relative to project activity,” said Brian Fleer, executive director of the city’s office of economic and downtown development. Fleer’s list of DDA projects begins with the construction of Woodland Hardware and the buildout of Center Street south of U.S. 24 to Saddle Club Drive. The name, Saddle Club, pays tribute to the city’s frontier past and the vitality provided by the ranchers and cowboys, who held rodeos and gymkhanas where Woodland Station is today. Today, the Downtown Development Authority owns the property that, when developed and enhanced, contributes to the authority’s coffers with taxincrement financing for new projects. In the hopper are a beer garden expected to open by Arden Weatherford and several investors on Lot 2
within Woodland Station. Now in the due-diligence phase, nonetheless the garden is expected to be open by mid-August. “We’re going through design considerations,” Fleer said. As the Great Recession caused a rash of foreclosures in Woodland Park, those losses are now providing the fuel for new projects. “Within the DDA boundaries, a lot of bank-owned buildings and properties went back to the lender and have been acquired or are under contract, for development,” Fleer said. Another project, with a TIF agreement, is Trail Ridge Apartments, a $19 million project with 168 units west of Safeway in the former location of a trailer park. Close-mouthed about the developer of a large project, Fleer nonetheless divulges the particulars about land at Midland and Colo. 67, which was sold by the owners of FoxworthGalbraith to a national chain. While out of the DDA boundaries, the proposed nursing facility by MidStates Senior Living is moving along. “I’ve just submitted a grant to DOLA for water lines around the hospital for the nursing facility that’s going to start construction this year,” Fleer Downtown continues on Page 13

aspen Mine Center reaches out ‘We’re asking more and more of our clients to
By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews.com A fashion show and a musical bash, for Community of Caring Foundation and the Aspen Mine Center, two recent fundraisers have thrust the organizations into unfamiliar territory. “We’ve never actually done fundraisers but they’re a great way to promote community involvement, to get the word out about what we do,” said Ted Borden, the center’s director. The area’s perennial contributor, Cripple Creek & Victor Mining Co., donated $5,000 to the fashion-show fundraiser in May that helped raise nearly $8,000 for the foundation whose chief executive officer is Mary Bielz. For the past 11 years people in need in southern Teller County have found some kind of sustenance through the foundation at the Aspen Mine Center, whether through the commodities program, the food pantry, seniorcitizens’ club or Mountain Alternative School. “The biggest thing is just being a safe place for people to find reassurance that the problems they’re going through are not going to last forever and that we’ll walk alongside of them as long as they’re willing to do the
give back, whether it’s volunteering here or helping a neighbor.’ Ted Borden work,” Borden said. As the organization gives, it also expects. “We’re asking more and more of our clients to give back, whether it’s volunteering here or helping a neighbor,” he said. As the effects of the Great Recession linger throughout southern Teller County, Borden and his staff view the reciprocal nature of giving while receiving. “The best way to help is to get them involved in some aspect of the community that will bring them out of that funk. It’s a great way to help others while helping themselves,” Borden said. “Especially if people are out of work and depressed, not able to find jobs for months or even years, or not working in the capacity they once worked in.”
There’s a sense of spiritual ambience that hangs over the Aspen Mine Center. “Teller County is blessed with great people and I think asking them to give back is almost an expectation of theirs,” Borden said. “I think this is a way to build positive community and to build accountability for people who are asking for assistance.” As the mine came forward in May, Mark Rabaut, who owns the Country Lodge in Woodland Park sponsored the concert Aug. 11 on the new deck at the lodge. “I think Mark is impressed and passionate about what we’re trying to do for Teller County,” Borden said. The concert featured the music of Kenny Johnson, The Key of Joy, Spider Murphy and Hope Smith.

Two grants update services for TCSAR By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews.com In the old days Teller County Search and Rescue just looked in the vicinity of where people were estimated to be lost or injured. But nowadays the volunteers use new-age equipment for the hunt. With a $3,000 grant from the American Kennel Club, the SAR club purchased GPS tracking units for its six bloodhounds. “The units track trails and provide good evidence in court cases,” said Janet Bennett, the club’s spokesperson. “We can actually use the track from the GPS to show where the person was.” Cell phones, too, help in rescue efforts,
particularly with lost or injured hikers. “Cell phones make things a lot quicker,” she said. In a bonanza of donations this month, the SAR unit received a $500 grant from the Mountain Top Cycling Club in gratitude for providing traffic control during the Ride of Silence and Mountaintop Experience Ride. Of the 65-member crews, 30 are trained in rock-climbing and mountain rescues. “We have EMTs and medical equipment at the base,” Bennett said. For mountain rescues estimated to be several miles away, the rescue crews use ATVs and horses. “Or we just hike,” Bennett said. Teller County Search and Rescue works under the jurisdiction of Teller County Sheriff Mike Ensminger.

County relinquishes permits for WP
THRO

phill@ourcoloradonews.com In a separation of powers, Teller County commissioners voted to terminate the Intergovernmental agreement with the city of Woodland Park as it relates to buildingcode services provided by the county. “There has been friction between the two entities for many years,” said county administrator Sheryl Decker, at the commissioners meeting Aug. 8. “We have worked hard to improve services where we could, where we weren’t doing things as well as we could have.” Decker praised the staff in the community development services division, i.e. building department. “They need to be commended on the improvements and how they’ve done it with such a short staff,” Decker said. “They have made huge strides in that department.” While most issues go along smoothly, in some cases the city has waived the requirement for building permits for projects in Woodland Park and, thus, the county loses the permit fee. “Our controversies are at a minimum but I feel this is a good time to evaluate how we provide services,” Decker said. “The city, throughout the years, desires a lot more flexibility than we are able to provide.” Commissioner Marc Dettenrieder agreed. “This is in line with other municipalities (Cripple Creek and Victor), which conduct their own building services and gives the city more flexibility and local control,” he said. Commissioner Norm Steen was in. “Our building department operates entirely on fees and in the case of Woodland Park, we’ve operated on a $200,000 deficit for many years,” Steen said. “This is a tough decision but we’re looking at declining revenues and expect falling tax revenue from lower home values.” In effect, the decision by the county moves the process from one entity to another, Steen said. The change is appropriate, said commission chair Dave Paul. “About one-quarter of our revenue is on assessed value of properties, personal and commercial,” he said. “We are facing over the next two years the ramifications of the down market. The city of Woodland Park is in a different situ-

After the unanimous vote by the commissioners, Decker said, “It’s kind of bittersweet.” Reporting on an issue that affects Teller and Park counties, Dettenrieder highlighted the renewed effort of the U.S. Forest Service to prohibit explosive targets in the forest. “The crackdown is actually taking place
in five states, Wyoming, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas and Colorado. According to a recent article in The Denver Post, at least 16 fires nationwide are attributed to explosive targets, Dettenrieder said. “The Springer Fire in our own backyard was started by an explosive target,” he said. As well, in the past several years, six fires in the Rainbow Falls area off north Colo. 67 were started by explosive targets, he added. In a county where the needs are great and the budget expected to decrease as a result of reduced property valuations, a report by Linda Johnson and Brad Shaw was akin to a wish list. Nonetheless, Johnson listed the five top
priorities for capital-improvement projects for 2014: • Upgrade control system in the jail, a critical infrastructure need for future contracts and safety • Do sidewalk repair around the Centennial Building in Cripple Creek • Improve parking lot at the sheriff’s office in Divide • Replace copiers in administrative offices • Give sheriff’s deputies laptops in their vehicles. “This does not mean these projects will be funded,” Decker said. “It ultimately is the board’s decision.”

Optimism drowns on the line Everyone needs to dream: track engineers, land speculators, town planners, and folks determined to find a shorter, easier route. Word of such a dream swirled around at the turn of the last century in the form of a new railroad line, to be built by the Colorado & Southern that was to snake its way up the south fork of the Platte River on western edge of Douglas County. Optimism ran rampant. “That the line will become a part of one of the greatest trunk system s in country there can be but little doubt. For over a week the presidents of the Colorado & Southern, Colorado Midland, Rio Grande Western and Denver & Southwestern railroads have been in secret conference at New York, considering, it is said, the formation a new trans-continental line, in which the Burlington, also, will have a hand,” suggested the March 24, 1900, edition of the West Creek Mining News. The line was to substantially reduce the distance between Cripple Creek and Denver as well as fuel consumption because of reduced grade. “From Leadville to Salt Lake the distance by the Midland is few mile shorter than by the
Rio Grande, but by the projected new line to Los Angeles, the distance to salt water will be greatly reduced. Altogether the little stretch of track now being built along the western edge of Douglas County seems destined to become a very important link in American railroading,” read the Mining News. “From Denver to South Platte station, the distance is 29 miles. From there to Horse Creek to Lake George is about 25 miles, making Lake George 69 miles from Denver. From Lake George to Denver by the present route of the Colorado Midland is 120 miles. The dif-
World’s Highest Highway Yes that is what it was called when it was built, the Pike’s Peak highway. The old carriage road was built in the late 1880’s as the short route to the top. A longer road was built up the south side many years before. By the turn of the century few were getting to the top on the road. The first automobile to the top went up the railroad tracks! Three men pooled their ideas, N.L. Drew of the Colorado Midland Railroad, E.A. Sunderlin and Charles E. Noble, prominent Colorado Springs businessmen. Drew was the most familiar with the wagon road, as the railroad had used the station at Cascade for trips up the trail. After raising basic funds with local investors a plan was in place, and permission was sought. The U.S. Forest Service was in control of most of the land, and permission to cross took the most time. The old road was considered a public road, and both Teller and El Paso Counties needed to approve any work including changes. The city of Colorado Springs had water rights all over the mountain, on the north side reservoirs were being built at the time also. Private owners along the way held important sections needed for the work. The biggest road block was that the government disliked toll roads. Once these steps were cleared a consulting engineer was secured to find a better route than the wagon road. Once the plans were complete, additional approval steps had to be taken, with plans in hand. Mr. L. Shoemaker, forest supervisor from Denver came down for a look. He approved the basic plans and route, and submitted papers for a permit to build the road. It was a big uphill fight, not just the one up the mountain. It would take considerable proof that it could only be accomplished by the men. It could not have rival roads, built

by any other group, city or other governmental agency. The help of Senator Thomas, Representative Seldomridge and a Washington D.C. lawyer helped obtain permission from the Secretary of Agriculture to issue a permit. Finally work could start, but the mountain’s weather ruled the progress. It took construction company months to get to Glen Cove, where an extended delay was unfortunate. It took almost a year to reach this point. Spencer Penrose and his associates Charles M. MacNeill, William Otis and Albert Carlton were early investors, but here they came to the rescue. Their financial aid and expertise pushed the road to completion the next year. The opening of the road in 1915 was a grand affair, and to advertise the road, an automobile race was planned. Initially that was to attract the best auto racers of the day, but most were frightened by the location of the road. It would be local drivers who dominated the race over the years. Penrose controlled the operating company until his death, when it passed to the city of Colorado Springs. I often get asked when it was made a toll road. It generally always has been, even though the toll has fluctuated greatly over the years. During the Depression it was minimal.

ference in the two routes is not alone the 51 miles of track saved, but also the avoidance of the heavy climbs over two divides, Palmer Lake and Ute Pass, both of which are very expensive in time and fuel.” The Mining News followed the progress of the proposed line extension later in 1900. “The long-talked-of railroad is at last a reality. All this week work of construction has been in progress between South Platte and Nighthawk on what will undoubtedly be a through line from Denver to Cripple Creek,” read the paper upon those developments, though it did note a hitch. “A slight impediment in the Colorado & Southern’s plans came Wednesday when the Denver Power & Irrigation company swore out an injunction preventing the railroad from interfering with the latter’s rights on the quarter section where it proposes to construct a dam. As the rails had already been laid through the greater part of this piece of land, and as the railroad was not enjoined from working on other parts of the proposed route, the interference amounts to little. The only
result of the Power Company’s complaint thus far has been to spur the railroad constructors to greater haste in their work,” wrote the Mining News. Susan Conola Appleby, in her 2001 book, Fading Past, noted that other factors had a hand in its ultimate demise. “However, On May 3, 1900, before the railroad advance much further toward completing the line to Cripple Creek, a flood immersed the area,” she wrote. The flood, according to the Denver Republican, “descended like a tidal wave fourteen feet high, ruining roads, destroying buildings and floating away everything portable in its place.” Appleby says it was the lawsuit over disputed land that put the final nail in the line’s coffin. “Ultimately, (Walter) Cheeseman and the Denver Union Water Company retained control over the disputed area, and the railroad scrapped its mountain route to Cripple Creek and instead took over the Colorado Springs & Cripple Creek District Railway, which previously built a standard gauge line to the booming mountain town,” Appleby wrote.
letter to the editor Privatization Too high a Price for green Mountain Falls Public Safety There has been a lot of talk lately about public safety in Green Mountain Falls and many of our citizens have contacted me with their concerns. I wanted to address the public safety issue and why as mayor of Green Mountain Falls and a fellow resident, I believe preserving the current law enforcement leadership and the police department is critical to maintaining what we have all come to expect and love about Green Mountain Falls. When the Waldo Canyon Fire was at our back door, it was our public-safety department that took the lead in organizing emergency operations for the town. It was this department that was first contacted about the fire and it was this department who kept our town safe from looters who would have had a very easy target. As you may recall, no homes were broken into in Green Mountain Falls during the seven days we were evacuated. What we have learned through the Waldo Canyon Fire is that our community values and respects the need for professional and full-time law enforcement through our safety net. Some have suggested that we look into the possibility of privatizing our law enforcement or even having El Paso County provide that service for us. I have to disagree with both ideas. A private security company cannot provide our town with the quality of services that a police department can. How would a private security company provide the needed support and the professional law enforcement backup needed in case of an incident such as another fire or when crimes occur? A private security company would not be able to perform the statutory duties or the certifications necessary to keep the peace. And, we know we cannot call on the El Paso Sheriff’s Office every time there is an incident in Green Mountain Falls. As far as safety goes - would it be in the best interests for the Fire District Board to contract out for a private fire department? Just as in the case of our police department - absolutely not! Having El Paso County provide service to our town is something I cannot support. While we appreciate the partnership and mutual aide that the sheriff’s office provides, the cost associated with having a substation in Green Mountain Falls would outweigh the current budget of the department. Why would the board even consider such an idea? When the last flood event occurred, it was our police department that was first on scene. The westbound lanes of U.S. 24 were covered with water. Water was also covering the eastbound lanes in Cascade. It took 20 minutes for the sheriff to get up the pass. In that 20 minutes our police department had closed the eastbound lanes and had already diverted traffic back up the pass so that no injuries would occur. We are living with the constant concern that one day there will be a major flood. When the flood event happens, Ute Pass is going to be closed. No one knows
how long or when it will happen. What we do know is that we are going to need law enforcement around when it occurs. I am not willing to risk the safety of the citizens of Green Mountain Falls to save a few dollars, even if the presumed savings have not been vetted through any potential proposal. Our town could just as easily contract out for public works, but that too would be a safety issue, knowing the flooding and infrastructure needs our town has. I realize that sometimes mistakes are made that put us in opposition of law enforcement, but that does not justify reducing the public safety of our town. I see citizen transparency and support of our public safety department as my priority. Maintaining the quality of service and professionalism of the police department in Green Mountain Falls is critical to the future of our wonderful community. Sincerely, Lorrie Worthey Mayor Green Mountain Falls
City of woodland Park has ignored our concerns Dear Letter to the Editor: Picture a piece of Woodland Park City property being plopped down among Teller County residents without any representation (from the County or the City.) This is the current scenario as the City pushes the annexation of two plots of land on Country Rd. 231. This is being done in order to have a recycling facility for the city provided by Teller County Waste (TCW) formerly operating as Woodland Landscape Materials (WLM). However, plans to accomplish this are being pushed through with little regard for the surrounding neighborhoods. TCW is currently being sued by Teller County for ongoing land use violations and operating without a permit at this location. A court date is set for November 19, 2013 (a former court order was issued in 2005, but not enforced). William Louis, attorney for TCW, (who spoke at the May 23rd hearing) stated that he plans to request an immediate dismissal of this court case upon the successful annexation of this property. This has confirmed our suspicion that TCW was seeking refuge from the City of Woodland Park to avoid facing the upcoming court hearing with the County! On May 23, 2013, the City of Woodland Park Planning Commission unanimously voted to approve the needed zoning changes to permit TCW to operate a recycling center at this site and in addition park their trucks overnight containing trash. This was in spite of a number of residents speaking against the proposal (our concerns were totally ignored). This recycling plant will be operating along with the current trash operation that is already in violation with the County. We believe that TCW is hiding behind the mantle of “recycling” so they can continue operating their trash business in this location. Let it be known that Letters continues on Page 7

What if doctors were Soda: ‘Too much of a bad thing is a bad thing’ replaced as robots
we w
d any st but ng our takes aw I

erely, rthey Falls
What if doctors were replaced with robots? Or even a simple checkup was done entirely through communication with an automated robotic system? If your blood pressure just sky rocketed in fear of either of these becoming realities, then I suggest you go speak with your robotic doctor. The modern world in the medical industry is becoming advanced faster than we can say the phrase “an apple a day keeps the robotic doctor away”. So what exactly can we expect to see in years to come and what kinds of robotics are out there? The medical industry will always be a field where technological advancements are the norm. We are aspeciesthat constantly will need medical attention in each of our lives. With the demand so high, it seems only logical to explore our own technological world for assistance. The answer lies in Telemedicine, which is the use of telecommunication and information technologies in order to provide clinical health care at a distance. The premise for robots in the medical field at this time is very broad and can cover a multitude of performances. Medical robotics includes a number of devices used for surgery, medical training, rehabilitation therapy, prosthetics and assisting people with disabilities. A recent article from the website FastCompany discussed a prototype robot that is now drawingblood entirely on its own! Veebot, the robotic prototype, will be able to locate veins and draw blood for analysis completely unassisted. Although this sounds a little creepy, the advancements are astounding. Surgical procedures arebeing done robotically more and more. Current procedures include knee replacements, joint replacements and even open heart surgery. Surgeons can control robotic arms from a few feet away with immense precision and detail. Doctors are also able to check on pa-
tients from miles away through robotics. If a problem arises, the doctor is alerted via phoneand simply remote controls his robot to the patients room and can assess the situation through a Skype-like interactive screen. “There’s a tremendous amount of medical care being provided from a distance today through technology like this,” said Jonathan D. Linkous, executive director of the American Telemedicine Association. The idea that doctors can become less involved in the hospital and can literally be two places at once is proving to be beneficial and time efficient. Though we might think that our near future holds a “do everything” robot like Rosie from the Jetsons, who cleans, talks, runs errands, and can take care of us when we are sick, science is still in its adolescent stages of medically sound and independent robotics. It may seem a bit frightening as if we are entering aworld like the Hollywood thriller “Terminator,” where we are being taken over by robots; the reality is quite the contrary. Doctors still run the show in every aspect of the game but, with the recent advancements, it is not hard to imagine that one day soon we could be reliant on robotics to be involved in our health in a multitude of ways.

He fulfilled his degree required 360 hours of internship at the Absolute Workout in Woodland Park this summer and hopes to enter the fitness world after graduation.
Two-thousand years after its discovery, carbonated water is still making front page news and it’s not good news. Dr. Sahil Parikh, a cardiologist for UH Case Medical Center in Cleveland recently categorized soda as, “Too much of a bad thing, is a bad thing.” It was Hippocrates who first suspected that mineral water bubbling up from the earth could have medicinal properties by bathing and relaxing in it … not by drinking it. It wasn’t until 1767 that an English doctor made the first drinkable glass of carbonated water. Three years later, a Swedish chemist invented an apparatus that could make carbonated water from chalk by using sulfuric acid, which allowed imitation mineral water to be produced in large amounts. It wasn’t until 1810 that the first U.S. patent was issued for the “means of mass manufacture of imitation mineral water” and, in 1832, American John Matthews invented the apparatus for making carbonated water and the, now $92 billion a year, “Big Soda” industry was born. The initial purveyors of soda pop were pharmacists touting the beverage as a health drink and lacing the drinks with flavorful herbs, such as birch bark, dandelion, sarsaparilla and fruit extracts. Although the medicinal properties of soda proved nonexistent, drugstore soda fountains became a popular part of American culture. Attesting to the lasting popularity of soda pop, according to a 2011 study by Yale University, the average American consumes 45 gallons of sugary, sweetened beverages per year. Meanwhile, the country’s obesity epidemic is in full-swing with more than 69 percent of adults considered overweight or obese, which many health experts blame on Americans’ soda addiction. “The main thing is excess calories,” says Dr. Christopher Ochner, assistant professor of pediatrics and adolescent medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Si-
nai. “If everything else in their diet is equal, a person who has a can of Coke a day adds an extra 14.5 pounds per year, just from the calories alone.” That is a frightening stat as carbonated sodas are the single biggest source of calories in the American diet, accounting for 7 percent of total calories, It’s even scarier for teenagers who get a whopping 13 percent of their daily caloric intake from the combination of carbonated and non-carbonated soft drinks, which provide the average 12 to 19-year-old boy with the equivalent of 15 teaspoons of refined sugar a day and girls 10 teaspoons per day – all empty calories. A 12-ounce can of soda contains 41 grams of sugar, 30 milligrams of sodium and 39 milligrams of caffeine. Throw in some phosphoric acid and artificial coloring and you have what many experts consider carbonated death. Researchers, according to a Fox News report, have linked heavy soda consumption with weigh gain, poor dental health, diabetes and cardiovascular disease, which can ultimately lead to heart attacks, stroke and premature death. Perhaps the next time you feel compelled to drink a soda, you should consider bathing in it, instead of drinking it. That’s what Hippocrates would do.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
ty Teller Continued from Page 6 tas is we are not against “recycling”, we just the believe that violations will continue at ntry this site. If the annexation goes through, have the zoning of this site will be Community by Commercial (CC). This designation is the p- same zoning that is currently specified ials for McDonalds and Walgreens. But, this this facility will continue servicing and usgard ing heavy commercial trucks and equipment which should require an industrial ler type zoning with regulations designed to protect local residents and provide setback requirements.. The lighter Community ber Commercial Zoning proposed will allow TCW to continue operating in our neighm borhood with minimum restrictions and is a downgrade from the current County ans zoning of M-1 (Industrial). This is of great his concern considering TCW has a history of tion non-compliance with County regulations. ur These regulations are designed to protect the health and safety of our families. In e oid addition, we collected 76 signatures from th the Gray Horse Ranch and Sunny Slope Acres subdivisions. We have been iny on formed that only the Gray Horse Ranch ded signatures count because they are in the ate a City. The majority of the signatures from the County (those closest to TCW) aren’t ning valid. This proves our lack of representaresi-tion in this matter. We have been told ur by the City Planner, Sally Riley, that TCW is not deemed a “transfer station” and will not be “transferring trash” which by the city’s definition is “Refuse”. The W.P. Municipal Code 8.04.010 defines that “Refuse” e means and includes…containers, boxes, g ey glass, cans, bottles, garbage, waste…. si- (which will all be stored and then transthat ported from this site.) We recently spoke to the State of Colorado, Dept. of Health who stated that a transfer station is one in which “refuse” generated off-site awaits
transportation to an approved permanent disposal site (TCW transports the current “refuse” to Bestway in Colorado Springs and proposes to do the same for the recycling.) In addition, State Reg. 6 CCR 10072, section 7.2.2., F. states that there must be a buffer zone of 200 feet around the active operating area of a transfer station to the nearest resident. There are currently 5 residential County properties within that minimum requirement. However, Sally Riley has stated that this has no affect on the proposed annexation even though it violates State regulations. According to the State, this site is a “transfer station” and does not meet the minimum setback requirements and should not be allowed to exist in the County or the City. In conclusion, virtually every true local resident opposes this proposed annexation and yet the City of Woodland Park has ignored all of our concerns. The actions of the City lack transparency and appear not to be aboveboard. At the last public hearing, we presented a suitable site for this existing business (and proposed recycling center) to the City Council that is within the City Limits (no annexation needed) and has the same desired zoning (no rezoning needed). Sadly, once again the City has ignored our highly logical suggestions. Respectfully submitted by those listed below. If you are a Concerned Citizen, please plan to attend the next critical Public Hearing that will be held at 7 p.m. Thursday, August 15, 2013 with the City of Woodland Park City Council in the Council Chambers.

Sunshine Laws invoked in GMF By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews.com What was intended to be a discussion on communication with the board turned into a slam fest against the trustees and a walkout by two of them. For the past three weeks, however, the town was abuzz about the meeting, with anticipation high for drama between the trustees and the Concerned Citizens Group. The group, led by former mayor Dick Lackmond and Judy Weidner, has initiated a drive to recall five of the trustees. “It is pretty evident that the board is non-functional,” said Lackmond, opening the discussion at the meeting. Mayor pro tem Jane Newberry interrupted. “I thought this was a discussion on setting a workshop-type meeting,” she said. “According to the Sunshine Laws we can’t answer questions that aren’t on the agenda and I don’t want you to waste your time if we don’t have the questions.” Nonetheless, Lackmond continued, charging the board with making town decisions on an individual basis rather than as a board. “Why?” he said. The board refused to answer, as the question was out-of-line with the Sunshine Laws. Lackmond was on a roll, however. “We request that Mr. Price be removed as the police liaison because of a conflict of interest with the police department,” he said, referring to trustee Howard Price. Trustee Ralph LoCascio said, “That’s not a question we can answer; it’s not on the agenda.” Mayor Lorrie Worthey persisted. “Can you explain what the conflict is?” Lackmond replied, “We don’t know what the conflict is.” Newberry suggested setting a time for a workshop to discuss issues in a public forum and in line with state law.
‘According to the Sunshine Laws we can’t answer questions that aren’t on the agenda and I don’t want you to waste your time if we don’t have the questions.’ Dick Lackmond
Ready to explode over the direction of the meeting, including the legality of seeking the resignation of the liaison position, trustees Mac Pitrone and LoCascio walked out. The two missed the ultimatum issued by Weidner, concerning the timing of the recall petitions, when and if they are submitted with the required signatures. “Chris Frandina (the town’s clerk/treasurer/elections clerk), will have two days to get the petition back to us,” Weidner said. Along with the two-day demand, Weidner requested that Frandina be temporarily removed from her position and that Sue Meals of Chipita Park be appointed as the town’s elections clerk, if the recall election goes through. Lackmond wasn’t finished, asked what happened to the live-streaming issue, as the meetings have not been recorded after the board approved an electronic-media policy recently. From the audience, Berkeley Davis, who with Cameron Thorne, volunteered to handle the live-streaming, said, “We are giving our time for that; it’s not something we’re paid to do so I can’t give you an answer on that. We are working on it.” The day after he walked out, trustee Mac Pitrone said that the meeting was on
the border of illegality as well as ethicallychallenged. “The board meeting ended up exactly like the lawyer from CIRSA told us not to do it,” Pitrone said, referring to an ethics meeting that day by the town’s insurance company. For instance, a board meeting is not the place for personal attacks or character assassination, Pitrone said. “The meeting started with character attacks on Howard Price (marshal’s trustee) and continued with a character assassination of Chris Frandina,” Pitrone said. “And we’re supposed to put up with that? I’m sorry but that was wrong.” As far as live-streaming goes, the board passed a resolution approving the practice. “All they have to do is ask,” Pitrone said. “The policy is in place; if somebody wants to bring their own camera all they have to do is follow protocol; it’s that simple.” The accusations against Price are unfounded, he said. “That meeting was designed to embarrass the five people being recalled,” he said, referring to himself, Margaret Peterson, Jane Newberry, Ralph LoCascio and Howard Price. Particularly galling to Pitrone were the charges against Price of conflict of interest in being the liaison to the marshal’s, i.e. po-
lice, department. When Price was approved as the liaison, Marshal Tim Bradley complained about only having one telephone, Pitrone said. “So Howard got him another telephone, at his expense,” Pitrone said. When Bradley complained that the office computers were outdated, Price donated two updated computers. “At his expense,” Pitrone said. “Does anybody know that besides the trustees? I don’t think so.” Incensed over the entire deal Pitrone added, “To this day, the computers are not installed,” he said. “That’s how much they appreciate the fact that they got two updated computers and they’re not even connected yet.” Price made the donations in the name of his company, Multi-Net Marketing. ●For her part, Mayor pro tem Jane Newberry said she felt blackmailed by Lackmond and Weidner. “They threatened us with recall if we didn’t set the workshop,” she said. “The workshops have to be posted ahead of time.” As she did in the meeting, Newberry stressed that, according to Colorado law, the questions have to be published in the agenda, so that the public can be aware of the issues, to ensure transparency from the board. ●Trustee Margaret Peterson felt that Mayor Lorrie Worthey allowed the meeting to get out of hand. “I was flabbergasted because there were no questions written down, nothing asked,” she said. “I don’t think we’re obligated to let the citizens berate us.” Like Pitrone, Peterson referred to the meeting on ethics that day. “The citizens group tried to browbeat us, intimidate us,” she said. Peterson is clearly upset by the division. “It’s just so ugly,” she said. “This community is broken and the factions started with this administration.”

Panthers hit the links in hopes of shooting par Brian Gustafson takes over as the program’s coach By Danny Summers
Dsummers@ourcoloradonews.com Brian Gustafson never got to play golf for Woodland Park High School when he was a student. That’s because the school did not field a team. So when Gustafson, a 1992 alumnus, came on board as a teacher in 1997, one of the first things he did was to convince the administration that a golf team should be formed. He coached the squad in varying capacities for the next 10 seasons, helping four players to qualify for the state tournament Gustafson is back in charge this fall and is doing his best impression of Phil Mickelson to help the next generation of Panthers golfers achieve success. “We want to establish a competitive golf program,” said Gustafson, who is the district’s director of business services for former varsity boys basketball coach and athletic director at the high school. “Golf is not just a recreational past time. Guys have to work on their game outside of the season. That means practice and playing tournaments. You just can’t show up and play. “The great thing about golf is that it’s one of the toughest sports to compete in, but it’s also one of the most rewarding.” Gustafson and his squad call Shining Mountain Golf Course home. It is a challenging course with lot of doglegs and sand. Senior Jonathan Worscheck is the only returning letterman. Gustafson believes the likeable left-hander could make a solid run at a state berth this year. “Jonathan could shoot in the mid to high 80s,” Gustafson said. “I think he has a great shot to go to state.” Worscheck was the second-best golfer on the team in 2012, behind Evan Lays. A two-year letterman, Worscheck devoted much of his time this summer to playing in Pikes Peak Junior Golf tournaments and getting private instruction. “I’m here at least five days a week,” said Worscheck between practice swings at Shining Mountain Golf Course. “My chipping and approach shots are probably the best parts of my game. I’m just trying to stay consistent and not change too much in my swing.” Worscheck is hoping for enough success to get few looks from college coaches.
Woodland Park senior Sam Ballard is expected to be on the mix this season for a top spot on the Panthers’ golf team. “I would love to play in college,” he said with a smile. “We’ll see what happens this year.” Gustafson said there is no true No. 2 behind Worscheck at this point of the season. Several golfers will rotate into the other three varsity tournament spots over the course of the season. They include seniors Sam Ballard and Keegan Harman, junior Sam Woldridge and freshman Sam Levy. “I was one tournament away from earning a varsity letter last year,” Ballard said. “I feel like I can improve a lot from last year. I know that if I practice a lot more I’ll have a lot more success.” Gustafson will have two qualified assistant coaches this
season in Jeff Gwynn and Scott Walsh. Woodland Park’s four golfers who have qualified for the state tournament are Zeph Pick (2000), Beau Havin (2002), Andy Fitzgerald (2006) and Matt Colligan (2009). Woodland Park opens its season Thursday in Pueblo West at Desert Hawk Golf Course. The Panthers will host the Panther Invitational at Shining Mountain on Sept. 10. The tournament will include perennial powerhouse programs Cheyenne Mountain, Palmer Ridge and Doherty. The Class 4A regional is scheduled for Sept. 16 at Walking Stick in Pueblo. The state tournament takes place Sept. 30 and Oct. 1 at Hiwan Golf Club in Evergreen.

Panthers prepare for Midnight Madness By Danny Summers
Dsummers@ourcoloradonews.com When Joe Roskam took over as Woodland Park High School’s football coach in 2011, he wanted to establish a tradition that would unite his team and bring the community together. Roskam thought it would be great if his players could celebrate their first day of putting on full pads with a celebration. He dubbed it “Midnight Madness,” after what many college basketball teams do to kick off their seasons. Tonight at 12:01 a.m. (or Thursday at 12:01 a.m. if you prefer), the Panthers will ascend in force on the school’s football field to the cheers of many as they assemble for a practice that will last about 90 minutes. “It’s loud and it’s fun and we get the crowd going,” Roskam said. “It gets the guys excited about football and it’s a great way to kick off the season.” Midnight Madness caps an exciting first three days of the start of the football season. On Monday, Woodland Park traveled to Blue Mountain Ranch in Florissant for three days of intense practice and instruction. They arrived back at Woodland Park High School this afternoon to get a little rest in preparation for tonight.
HILL CLIMB BY THE NUMBERS
The Colorado Springs Sports Corporation recently released statistical information from June’s running of the 91st Pikes
Peak International Hill Climb. A crowd estimated at 8,093 race fans, officials, accredited news media, driver and racer crews lined the course to watch the excitement of this year’s Hill Climb. It was by far the most viewed event in the nearly 100-year history of the famed race. A total of 4,600 general admission tickets were sold for the day. More than 170 news media from 20 nations were accredited to cover the race, including publications like Car & Driver Magazine (1.3 million readers), Hot Rod Magazine (650,928), Road & Track Magazine (608,266), Automobile Magazine (575,993) Auto Week (305,000) and the French national daily sports paper L’equipe (311,480). For the first time the event featured a worldwide live stream feature through Red Bull TV, and the site produced 899,593 live views of the stream on the web. There were also 163,317 live views of the race on the Red Bull TV App and 44,173 unique visitors on the App. The PPIHC website alone attracted 250,000 page views and the Timing and Scoring live website attracted 16 million views between Saturday and Monday. The Pikes Peak Facebook page friends count rose to 51,000 race fans over the weekend.
Woodland Park football coach Joe Roskam came up with the idea of “Midnight Madness” to kick start the Panthers’ season. It takes place Thursday morning at 12:01 a.m. on the school’s football field. The community is welcome to come out and watch. Photo by Danny Summers

“To me, this is a slam dunk,” said Harv Hisgen, president of the Trail Association, who has been pushing to get a bill passed in the United States Senate for six years “It doesn’t cost that much to so the study. It comes out of their budget. It will answer all the questions they have.” Hisgen and his crew of supporters have worked tirelessly on this project. They appreciate the support they have been given by Colorado Senators Michael Bennet and Mark Udall, as well as congressman Doug Lamborn and others. But Hisgen, a retired teacher who resides in Conifer, is beside himself that this process is taking so long. “Just put this bill on the table and let Pike have his day,” Hisgen said. On July 31, Colorado senator Michael Bennet testified in front of the Senate Subcommittee on National Parks. He spoke for about five minutes, getting support from Udall. “Pike’s expedition - the first American-led effort to explore the Rocky Mountains - is an important piece of history for Colorado and for the American Southwest,” Bennet said. “A Historic Trail designation would ensure the trail’s recognition for generations to come and would create more opportunities for heritage tourism and related economic development in surrounding communities across Southern Colorado
For six years, the Pike National Historic Trail Association has been trying to get a 3,664-mile network designated a national trail in honor of Zebulon Pike. It was last presented to the United States Congress on July 31.
and the San Luis Valley.” Prior bills died without hearings, but Hisgen said there is hope for this bill. “We will have another hearing,” Hisgen said. “It might be in two years or it might be next week. We just don’t know.” There is still no timetable on when the bill will be passed, if at all. If it passes the Senate, supporters still need a sponsor in the U.S. House of Representatives. Pike’s amazing story is of legend. He led an expedition party from St. Louis in 1806 to explore the west. His journey took him through seven current states (including Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and Colorado) and Mexico. When the party arrived near present-day Pueblo in early November, Pike, as

legend has it, turned north to climb a mountain in the distance. He took a route that today would parallel Interstate 25 to the south side of Colorado Spring. It turned through the present day Broadmoor area to Old Stage Road and followed a dirt road to Mt. Rosa. Unprepared for the conditions, the party made it as far as Mt. Rosa to the southeast of “Pikes Peak,” and gave up the ascent in waist-deep snow. They had already gone almost two days without food. Pikes journaled: “… here we found the snow middle deep; no sign of beast or bird inhabiting this region. The thermometer which stood at 9° above 0 at the foot of the mountain, here fell to 4° below 0. The summit of the Grand
Peak, which was entirely bare of vegetation and covered with snow, now appeared at the distance of 15 or 16 miles (24 or 26 km) from us, and as high again as what we had ascended, and would have taken a whole day’s march to have arrived at its base, when I believed no human being could have ascended to its pinical [sic].” The Pike National Historic Trail would be a 3,664mile network of road signs and markers across seven states and Mexico. Hisgen believes it would bring even more notoriety to Pike’s amazing exploits and give the general the proper credit he deserves. “Pike did more for this country than Lewis and Clark ever did,” Hisgen said. “He captivated our young nation with his accounts.” After failing to reach the summit of “Pikes Peak,” Pike and his party headed south, and then west, to the upper Arkansas Valley and South Park. His expedition party was captured by the Spanish in the San Luis Valley and taken through New Mexico and Mexico. Pike was released into Texas and continued his journey. Pikes expedition lasted 351 days. Hisgen notes that Pike spent 30.4 percent of his time in Colorado. “I tell you what, if he had a better biographer than Lewis and Clark, and if he didn’t die in the War of 1812, Pike might have been president of the United States,” Hisgen said.

Lovell Gulch Trail
Distance: 5.5 miles round trip (balloon loop) This beautifully scenic trail is tucked in right outside of Woodland Park off of Rampart Range Road. The spot is popular with hikers and those folks riding bikes or horses. This is also a dog-friendly trail. Once you get through the initial section of backyard hiking the trail opens up to meadows, a nice stream and gorgeous views, including the Tarryall Mountains to the West. Be warned that toward the mid-section of the trail you will be not far from the Rampart Range shooting area, so take a short cut if you don’t want to get too close. On the way back the trail don’t miss taking a picture with the goal post tree! Please note that to make the most of the elevation gain it is advised to travel this trail in a counterclockwise direction from the start point.

Clean up work is expected to continue through Friday afternoon. Despite working in very dangerous conditions, there have been no injuries to emergency responders. “We would like to remind everyone to exercise caution in areas where equipment is operating. Please maintain a safe distance and be sure that the operator can see you if you need to pass,” Ribeiro cautioned. On Saturday, about 40 vehicles swept away in the torrent had been towed out of the debris, while six buildings had been deemed unsafe to enter and another 11 structures sustained limited damage from the flood and mud flow.

said. “It’s going forward.” Along with the development in the downtown center, Woodland Park has been accepted into the Colorado Main Street program which is managed by the Department of Local Affairs. The program relates to development, historical preservation, community design, organization, promotion and marketing. “The program is the umbrella to other organizations already in place, such as the chamber, DDA, school district, local government, faith-based groups, for instance,” Fleer said. “One of the challenges will be how to make Highway 24 work for us and not against us, as
a retail\commerce component.” Colorado Main Street Designation gives the city access to funding opportunities geared toward development of the downtown area, said Gary Brovetto, city councilman who is working on the project with Fleer’s office. The project takes off with an assessment of the downtown by Colorado Industries. “Before that we hope to have a board of directors and a coordinator, a paid position,” Brovetto said. “The design committee creates a vision for Woodland Park, develops projects to accomplish that vision and programs to protect community character while developing depressed areas for business opportunities.” Among the designated cities in Colorado are Lamar and Steamboat Springs.

With a number of artistic groups in town, such as the Woodland Park Arts Alliance, the district would unite the organizations under one umbrella. “Through that effort, we would create a synergy,” Brovetto said. “District designation would provide a platform to promote the Woodland Park creative arts community statewide and nation-wide.” In Colorado, arts districts are managed by Creative Industries, a division of the state’s office of economic development and international trade. “We’re trying to infuse new energy and innovation to enhance the economic and civic capital in the community and to vitalize and beautify Woodland Park,” Brovetto said. “Certification brings regional and international legitimacy and credibility to the business and arts organization of Woodland Park.”

Manitou Lake has always been known for its wildlife, but this is a rare sighting. Photos by Glenn Walbek
A rare bird found at Manitou Lake By Aaron Driscoll Special to Courier
Way back in December 1975, we moved to a ranch that is approximately five miles north of Woodland Park on Highway 67. It was called the Ponderosa Ranch. Now it’s called the Tall Pines Ranch. The two years we lived on that ranch provided some of the best memories of my childhood. It was an awesome opportunity to go fishing, hiking, horseback riding, sledding, exploring, and dozens of other activities that my brothers and I would make up. One of the best memories was going to Manitou Lake. I really enjoyed the quiet atmosphere around that lake, and I really enjoyed the wildlife! Even in my adult life, I try to visit this area as much as possible. Over the years, I have become a member of a group of hobbyists that are called “birders.” We enjoy getting out in the great
outdoors to view all the amazing birds that come through and live in our wonderful state. This story is about one of these amazing birds. On June 27, 2013, Colorado residents Roger and Brenda Linfield were visiting Manitou Lake, enjoying the awesome birds that populate this area. In the middle of the lake, perched on the submerged tree branches, sat a Sandwich Tern. Most birders keep lists of the different types of birds they are able to see. The list could be the birds seen in a specific county, in a specific state, in the lower 48 states, on the North American continent, or a list of world birds. My list is for North American sightings. In addition to individual lists, our hobby has many blogs that are used to pass along any rare sightings, or even just ordinary sightings. When news of this bird was posted by the Linfield’s, birders from all over the state of Colorado came to see it. Based on the information that has been
collected for many decades, it was determined that this bird is the first state record for this type of tern. This makes sense as this type of tern is usually found on the marine coasts of the Southeastern United States and the Caribbean. Its primary food supply is obtained from diving for fish. For diving birds, Manitou Lake and the surrounding beaver ponds are a great place to find fish. On Sunday, June 30th, my family and I made the one hour drive from eastern Colorado Springs to Manitou Lake. We were able to take some decent photographs, but just being at the lake and seeing a new lifelist bird really made the day. We are also very fortunate to have made the trip on the 30th of June. The tern moved on apparently, as has not been seen since the 30th of June. We almost missed it! Whew!!! The one final thought I had when it had been determined that the tern was gone: what was a Sandwich Tern doing at 7,700’
A Sandwich Tern stayed at the Manitou Lake for about a week. This is the first recorded state record of this bird in Colorado. elevation in the middle of the state of Colorado? We’ll never know.

Finding Special to the Courier Imagine walking through some of the most beautiful mountain landscape, enjoying all of the nature Teller County has to offer. To top it off, finding treasure! Welcome to Geocaching at its best! Geocaching has been around at least since May 3, 2000, when David Ulmer came up with the first documented cache. Using the 24 satellites that had just been given select availability, he hid items in the woods and with GPS units, searchers combed latitude and longitude to find them. He called it “Great American GPS Stash Hunt”. He placed a black bucket in the woods near Beavercreek, Oregon. In the bucket was a logbook with pencil, and prizes such as videos, books, software and a slingshot. He then went online and shared the coordinates. Geocaching defined by www.geocaching.com: “Geocaching is a realworld, outdoor treasure hunting game using GPSenabled devices. Participants navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates and then attempt to find the Geocache (container) hidden at that location.” So how popular is Geocaching in Teller County? Within a 10 mile radius of the zip code 80863 (Woodland Park), there are 492 known caches. Within a 35 mile radius, there are 4,950 known caches. Caches can be hidden on personally owned prop-
Some caches are trackable.
erty, businesses, the woods, rivers, National Parks, and even cemeteries. Of course you shouldn’t just place a cache anywhere you want, unless it is your property. You need to get permission from the property owners. Caches can be in many sizes. They can be micro, small, medium, large and extra large, what is inside them can be different too. You may find only a log or you may find a log with trackables, prizes or things to exchange. Trackables are items that can be left in a cache for the taking; you then replace it with something else, go online and enter its tracking number into the website, and also log what cache you dropped it off at. You can watch the trackable travel all over the world. Geocaches are even in multiples, each stop gives you the coordinates to the next one, until you are at the last cache; like one in Woodland Park that starts at Meadow Wood Sports Complex and then takes you to a different county at the end. City Manager, David Buttery, knows Geocaching well, but was surprised when told how many caches there are in the area. He requests that before anyone places a cache on city property, that they please contact him first, including the local cemetery. Using official Geocache logos and markings will help ensure that city workers will know it is an official Geocache and will leave them where they are. Lately the Boy Scouts of America have added Geocaching to their program,

Variety comes to the Lake George Extravaganza Tractor pull, gem and mineral show, spaghetti supper, library book sale and flea market By N. W. Oliver The annual Lake George Extravaganza, scheduled for the weekend of Aug. 15-18, will draw both community members and visitors to the mountain town of Lake George. The “Extravaganza” will offer all types of family-style entertainment at the Lake George Community Park, located just off of U.S. 24 in Lake George. There will be a tractor pull, library used book sale, flea market and craft sale, games and fun kids’ activities, and a spaghetti supper. Food vendors will also be available to offer up breakfast and lunch for visitors. The annual Lake George Gem and Mineral Show, attracting seasoned geologists and amateur rockhounds from across the country, also includes itself as part of the
event.
Tractor pull
In conjunction with the Extravaganza, visitors will be able to see the Stock Antique Tractor Pull sponsored by the Arkansas Valley Flywheelers which is now in its 18th year. Over 40 tractors from as far away as Pueblo, Westcliff, Canon City, Salida, Colorado Springs and Denver are expected to compete along with many local entries from Lake George, Florissant and Woodland Park. A parking lot full of antique tractors with stationary, active engines will also be on display. Spectators will be able to view the competition from a covered grandstand as antique tractors dated from as early as 1917 up to 1963 pull a weighted sled. Eight different classes with two different hitch
heights will have participants compete for ribbons. Weigh-in begins at 8 am on Saturday, with the pull competition beginning at 11 a.m. In addition to the tractor pull, there will be free children’s rides on a barrel train pulled by a tractor. For more information on the tractor pull contact Ed Adams at 719-748-8383 or Bob Gilley at 719-748-8043 or check out the website at www.avflywheelers.com.
Gem and Mineral Show
