Fountain Creek floodwaters rage Green Mountain Falls sees four inches of rain, hail By Pat Hill

phill@ourcoloradonews.com His emotions running from anger to resignation, Ben Stephens surveyed the damage the morning after floodwaters inundated his property, The Pantry Gardens. Stephens blames the most of the destruction on the slope of the land next door, the Green Box grounds. “All that water went right there,” Stephens said, pointing to the spot where the water from Fountain Creek passed through the Green Box property and roared through the gardens, effectively closing the restaurant for the remainder of the season. When the water came raging through around 6 p.m. on Aug. 22, customers were dining and listening to the music of Ted Newman. “Ted’s amplifier got drowned,” Stephens said. “The water was just pouring through here.” Not only was it pouring in Green Mountain Falls, but upstream in Woodland Park, 4 inches of rain and hail pounded the city and flooded Fountain Creek. With rain and water coming from everywhere, Stephens couldn’t catch a break. As water from the adjacent property flooded the front side of the gardens, the overflow from the creek came in the back side. While Stephens carries liability and other insurance on the property, he didn’t expect a flood. “I can’t afford flood insurance; my house in Chipita Park is right in the Waldo burn area, so I have flood insurance on my house,” he said. With the gardens shut down for the season, Stephens estimate the losses at $25,000 to $35,000. A short distance away, Fountain Creek

‘There was a 12-foot wave of water coming out of the creek banks.’ Kathy Blough, Gafford’s daughter rushed toward the home of Barbara Gafford while chiefly missing the two adjacent homes. “There was a 12-foot wave of water coming out of the creek banks,” said Kathy Blough, Gafford’s daughter. The raging waters flooded the entryway as well as the basement of the Gafford home. About the time the storm hit, Clay Gafford and Jeff Blough were traveling west on U.S. 24, a few miles from Green Mountain Falls. “Jeff and I saw the water, 7 to 8 feet high, flowing down the creek behind the Crystola,” Clay Gafford said. “We called Kathy and told her to get mom out of there immediately.” The next morning, the Gafford home was filled with neighbors and friends who arrived with shovels and gloves to help. Ken Nord, who owns Stones, Bones and Wood, led the team. At the age of 84, Barbara has endured more than her share of drama. In February 2011, her home was damaged when arsonists torched and destroyed the historic town hall. The hall was located a few feet from her home. Gafford escaped both destructive forces and today remains in her home.

Teller County settles out of court Former sheriff ’s deputy sues sheriff, county, cites constitutional claim By Pat Hill

phill@ourcoloradonews.com Teller County commissioners agreed to a settlement in the civil lawsuit filed in federal court by Josh Weatherill, former sheriff’s deputy, against Sheriff Mike Ensminger and Teller County. Weatherill sued the two parties, citing a constitutional claim as well as a violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act. “The claims are for unpaid time for his three dogs that were part of the canine program established years ago,” said the county’s attorney Chris Brandt, speaking to the commissioners Aug. 22. “The county disputes and denies the claims,” Brandt said. Should Weatherill prevail in the lawsuit, the county would be liable for all attorney fees, in addition to the court costs. In a similar case, another county lost the suit and was liable for nearly $300,000 in attorney’s fee, Brandt said. With no guarantee of success and the risk of a significant adverse award, the insurance defense counsel recommended the settlement. “I would have to agree; I think it’s the prudent thing to do,” Brandt said. Of the $58,000 settlement fee, the county’s portion is $33,000; the remainder, including attorney’s fees to be paid by County Technical Services, Inc., which represented the county. “Although, in my heart, I’d like to fight this case because we do have good defenses and a good basis to fight it,” Brandt said. The commissioners agreed. “This is one of those decisions; we get to pick the lesser of two evils,” said commission chair Dave Paul. Of interest to the citizens of Teller County, the commissioners reported:

commission believes the new culvert will be 10 times the capacity of the existing infrastructure,” Dettenrieder said. • More than 35 organizations are working together to limit the flows of water along U.S. 24. “More than $31 million has been spent so far to mitigate those floods,” Norm Steen said. “They estimate that the catchment ponds have already caught 12,000 pounds of sediment that would have been on the

highway in the flood of Aug. 9.” • The Pikes Peak Workforce Investment Board will meet Oct. 4 in Cripple Creek. Commissioner Paul is chairman of the executive board. The board is dedicated to meeting the needs of the business community in both counties, Paul said. • The 12-year lawsuit against Jay Baker and Teller County Waste is ongoing; however, the commissioners and the attorney declined to talk about details.

Woodland Park bids farewell to Ft. Carson regiment By Special to the Courier Several members of the Woodland Park community attended a ceremony Aug. 19 at Fort Carson as another element of the city’s partnership with the 4th Engineer Battalion.

GMF services impacted by potential recall Citizens charge trustees with making decisions behind closed doors By Pat Hill

phill@ourcoloradonews.com Green Mountain Falls faces a deficit of $6,000 or more if the recall committee obtains enough signatures on a petition that has circulated among registered voters. The committee, Concerned Citizens of Green Mountain Falls, targets trustees Mac Pitrone, Ralph LoCascio, Margaret Peterson and Howard Price as well as Mayor Pro Tem Jane Newberry. Mayor Lorrie Worthey and trustee Tyler Stevens are not on the committee’s target list. In a public announcement Aug. 20, the citizens announced their intentions to file a recall petition in addition to seeking the removal of Chris Frandina, town clerk, as the election official. Responding to documentation presented to the board that evening, Worthey and the trustees authorized Lisa Tormoen Hickey, the town attorney, to seek an agreement with El Paso County to conduct the election. The authorization is a preliminary to the committee’s collecting enough signatures on the petition. If that happens, the

county has agreed to step in, Hickey said. The citizens were galvanized earlier in the year when the board held several executive sessions, which by law are closed to the public. The citizens have charged the trustees with making decisions behind closed doors. As a result, the rumor mill is rampant as it concerns Police Chief Tim Bradley. Among the rumors is the possibility of Bradley’s alleged forced resignation. To date, the rumors are unfounded; nonetheless, several citizens have expressed their support for Bradley at the past few board meetings. With an annual budget of $440,000, a recall election would impact public services, including road and parks’ maintenance, administration and law enforcement. A report from Bradley highlighted the impact of a recall election. “I reviewed my budget and, again, we’re at a point where we are heading into the last quarter of the year and there just aren’t sufficient funds,” Bradley said. “However, with luck, hard work and a great community, we’re just not that active this year. I’ve never seen anything so smooth and quiet.” While the search for a second full- or part-time deputy has been unsuccessful, Bradley emphasized the bright side, that the salary savings could be used to update the office. “Our office is in bad

While the Axios Youth facility shut down last year, after the program director of the girls’ side was arrested and charged with sexual assault on a child by one in a position of trust, the investigation is ongoing, Police Chief Tim Bradley said. Bradley’s office is credited with initiating the investigation of Michael Broadnax, who allegedly assaulted a resident of the facility on Hondo Avenue in Green Mountain Falls. Broadnax was arrested by the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office in May 2012 and was released on a $25,000 bond. “We were supposed to go to trial last week but the defendant in the Axios case

is playing hopscotch, which is pretty common because there is a lot to lose,” Bradley said. “We will meet him in court when he runs out of contingencies.” The investigation of incidents at Axios is ongoing. “I am happy that we took a proactive approach,” Bradley said. “Axios is gone. I believe that Tim Thomas, of the Boston Bruins, bought the facility and we’re hoping it will be a successful venture for him.” Thomas is expected to open a hockey camp in the Axios facility.

shape; we have a toilet that hasn’t worked for a year,” he said. “But it takes money, so there are things we need to focus on; we can really use the money from the (unfilled) position.” Bradley said he intended to fill the position with a volunteer reserve officer. A story reported in the Courier last month charged that Bradley had failed to install a computer donated by Multi-Net Marketing, after the story was published, an offer was to do the connection at no charge. “We haven’t installed it yet be-

cause we haven’t needed to,” he said. While each department will be affected by the recall election, the initial cost is an estimate. “Lorrie will have to approve the budget expenditure, shut down some other services in the town,” Hickey said. “It’s going to be an expensive, timeconsuming and very expensive process. Everyone needs to know that.” According to Hickey, the board can expect to approve the intergovernmental agreement with El Paso County at the next meeting Sept. 3.

Common Core debuts at RE-2 School District Standards set by community leaders, teachers By Pat Hill

phill@ourcoloradonews. com Along with the excitement and trepidation of returning to school, students in the RE-2 School District will be tasked with meeting the new standards adopted by the Colorado Department of Education in 2010. The requirements are in line with the Common Core state standards developed by governors and teachers, as well as university and business leaders around the nation. “The standards are more rigorous than what we used to have and more defined and specific,” said Linda Murray, the district’s assis-

tant superintendent. “In Colorado, our district included, we decide what textbooks and reading material to use as well as the curriculum. Teachers decide what projects to do, how to grade,” Murray said “These are not determined by the Common Core. We have control over what we do.” The standards are for students from preschool through high school.

Sixth-graders, when reading narratives, are required to:

• Provide ideas and details and cite textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text; determine the theme or central idea of the

text and how it is conveyed through particular details • Provide a summary of the text distinct from personal opinions or judgments • Describe how a particular plot unfolds and how the characters respond.

Requirements for sixth-grade students who read technical texts:

• Understand non-fiction and analyze factual information, including science and social studies. “Students will be asked to cite textual evidence to support analysis of what it says,” Murray said. • Determine a central idea • Analyze in detail how a key individual event, or idea, is introduced and elaborate • Determine an author’s point of view and purpose • Integrate information presented in different media formats as well as in words to develop a coherent understanding of a topic or issue. “They have to be able to analyze the information and write about it. There are lots of vocabulary requirements, including knowledge of Greek and Latin affixes and roots as well,” Murray said. The standards do not dictate what reading program must be taught. “That’s up to the teachers to decide what materials they are going to use to help the students meet the standards,” Murray said. However, with Common Core, by the time students are in high school, they will have developed criticalthinking skills related to narrative as well as science and technical texts, Murray said. “And they’ll be able to write about these subjects as well.” Common Core math standards are rigorous as well. For seventh-graders, the standards involve solving real-world problems

Linda Murray, assistant superintendent of the RE-2 School District, is upbeat on the new Common Core State Standards, adopted by the Colorado Department of Education in 2010. Courtesy photo relating to area, volume and surface areas of twoand three-dimensional objects composed of triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, cubes and right prisms. According to the standards found on the website - in math, students use critical thinking to recognize problematic aspects of given situations, create mathematical models and present and defend solutions. To enhance students’ attention to detail, the RE-2 district offers a course on personal financial literacy. “This course is unique to Colorado in addition to the Common Core standards,” Murray said. “We want them to understand what

it means to borrow money and how banks work, those kinds of things.” The Common Core State Standards have been adopted by 45 states and the District of Columbia. The standards are in line with international standards. Granted, not all students will master the requirements. “In the state assessments we have kids who barely make it and kids who are way up in the advanced ranges,” Murray said. “At any given time we’re using that assessment data to see which students have mastered the requirements and what’s next. We are constantly pushing those kids

into the advanced ranges.” The standards are intended to help students who face challenges with changing schools. “At any given time, 15 percent of our students are mobile every year, so having students work on different levels is very confusing,” Murray said. “That’s why the states’ governors started this. We don’t have to choose one curriculum for the entire country but kids have to master the same kinds of things.” The Common Core standards are at www.cde.state. co.us/corereadingwriting/ statestandards and at www. cde.state.co.us/comath/ statestandards.

A better tomorrow for new businesses Program offered to those who want advice about career By Pat Hill

phill@ourcoloradonews.com A familiar refrain among new business owners is “I always wanted to open a ... ,” and in all too many cases the dream ends soon after the doors open. Some fall victim to a stagnant economy or incomplete business plan. With the online “Tools for Business Suc-

cess,” the Greater Woodland Park Chamber of Commerce, in conjunction with the city’s office of economic development, offers guidance for new or existing business owners. The online tool kit initially asks users to identify inherent risks, number of employees, partners and finance options. For existing business owners, the program unveils Colorado regulations. “Each month the program will pop up and tell you what forms you have to fill out, whether it’s about sales tax or quarterly reporting,” Debbie Miller, the chamber’s president, said. For potential business owners in Woodland Park, the online kit provides informa-

tion about signage regulations or permit requirements. “This is the best tool I’ve ever run across, one that will allow a business, existing or potential, to really have everything at one stop,” Miller said, adding that the program is Teller County based. “If you are just dreaming about something, this is the one area to go for answers,” Miller said. “For financing questions, the program tells everything you need before walking into the bank.” Acknowledging the risks involved in starting a business, Miller emphasizes the efficacy of pre-planning. “We have a lot of people who dream; that’s what America is all about,” she said. “People want to own their own business

Bigorexia takes over your life “It takes over your life. Every decision you make becomes the workout and how your body looks. I used to track and weigh every single ounce of food that went in my body.” “I used to wake up at 3 o’clock in the morning to drink protein shakes. I never missed a workout, ever, ever, ever,” Alfonso Moretti told CBS’s reporter Maurice Dubois. Early in his career, personal trainer Moretti, became obsessed with increasing his body’s muscle mass and in the process fell victim to “Bigorexia.” You guessed it … bigorexia is the antithesis of anorexia and experts say that it affects hundreds of thousands of American men with some estimating that as many of 45 percent of all male weightlifters suffer from the disorder to some degree. Technically, the condition is known as “muscle dysmorphia,” which is defined in a Men’s Health article as a combination of reverse anorexia and the Adonis complex. The disorder is defined by a person’s belief that they’re not muscular enough. No matter how big or ripped they get (women can suffer from the condition as well) they still perceive themselves as skinny. Their preoccupation with their physique expresses itself with bigorexics reporting that they check their reflection in a mirror an average of 12 times a day … as opposed to only

three times for regular weightlifters … and they’re never happy with what they see often hiding their body under big, baggy clothes. The downside is frequent injuries from excessive exercise and the pervasive need to exercise and control their diet at the expense of their health, their job and their family and social commitments. Psychological abnormalities such as irritability, angry outbursts, manic behavior and depression are also common. According to Australian clinical psychologist Dr. Stuart Murray, a groundbreaking researcher and expert in muscle dysmorphia, 90 percent of sufferers are men with the average age of onset of symptoms as 19. “More people than we know suffer from it because men don’t seek treatment,” says Murray. The causes are still to be discovered but one theory credits “threatened masculinity,” which contends that because society has become

more egalitarian, men have fewer domains where they can assert their dominance. Another possible cause is the increased use of ripped male images to advertise everything from cars to computers, which is a handicap American women have been dealing with for decades. Typically, men with bigorexia have low self-esteem with many reporting that they were teased in school about their physique. Researchers have also established that 29 percent have an anxiety disorder and 59 percent some other form of mood disorder. The biggest obstacle in treatment is that most bigorexics refuse to acknowledge that they have a problem. It just wouldn’t be the manly thing to do. When men have sought treatment, a combination of educational and psychotherapy techniques, similar to modalities used to treat anorexics, have shown promising results. Therapist put an emphasis on identifying and changing patterns of thinking toward more realistic and attainable goals.

Dsummers@ourcoloradonews.com Jim Stack grew up in Nebraska and experienced a variety of storms. But never in his 40-plus years had he experienced anything like what occurred on Aug. 22 when a ferocious rain and hail storm slammed parts of El Paso and Teller counties. “I’ve never seen that much rain at one time and I’ve never seen hail last as long as it did,” Stack said. At about 5:15 p.m., Stack arrived at The Classical Academy north campus to help coach football practice. He is a home inspector and roof inspector, as well as the offensive line coach for TCA. TCA is located on Stout Road, just west of Voyager Parkway - about a mile south of Northgate Boulevard. By the time Stack arrived at the school, dark storm clouds were brewing overhead with lighting and thunder several miles to the east and northeast. At that point, practice was still a go. But by 5:30 p.m., TCA head coach David Bervig made the call to move practice indoors. As players and coaches scrambled to put equipment in nearby sheds a heavy down poor began. “It was a hard rain followed by pea-sized hail,” Stack said. “The hail stopped after a little while, then it started raining again, and all of the sudden marble-sized hail came down. When I looked across the football field a few

Courtesy photo minutes later it was completely covered in white. “Things let up after about an hour, but the water in the surrounding areas was a minimum 6 inches deep.” The relentless rain and hail storm pounded parts of El Paso and Teller counties and forced the closure of northbound Interstate 25. It also caused Highway 24 to close in both directions. “We got a lot of rain, but I didn’t see a lot of damage,” said Craig Fleischmann, who lives near Fox Run Park in unincorporated El Paso County. “Along Baptist Road the water was going over road. At my house it was flooding over the gutters.” It took Fleischmann two and a half hours to get home from his office in Denver, near Littleton. He took Highway 85 south and picked up the freeway in Castle Rock. From there the drive home got even slower. “We’ve lived in our house for 15 years and that’s the most rain I’ve seen

since we moved in,” Fleischmann said. “I’ve never seen a sustained rain like that in the (30-plus years) I’ve lived in this area.” Fleischmann added that it was still raining hard at his house when he went to bed around midnight. According to the National Weather Service in Pueblo, a weather spotter about five miles southeast of Monument recorded 3.12 inches of rain by 7 p.m. The rain caused several streets across the Pikes Peak region to close because of flooding; including portions of Voyager Parkway near North Gate Blvd. Businesses in that area reported that business was slower than usual because of the storm. Nanette Anderson, the public information officer for Academy District 20, was in contact with schools in the North Gate area regarding possible damage. She said there were no reports of damage, but that there was still standing water in some areas as late as 3 p.m.

Views of security change over time It seems particularly important to reflect on security and how our views change over time. In response to a different threat and a different world back in the early 1980s, American civil defense planners became concerned about an evolving large-scale Soviet civil defense plan in addition to a Soviet nuclear threat and started drawing up their own blueprint for right here in the States. The “crisis relocation plan” as it was known nationwide at the time, called for each state to develop individual versions that could be integrated into an overall picture. Because the North American Air Defense Command system was headquartered in Colorado Springs, it was considered a likely target. Likely targets or “high risk” areas were to be evacuated and residents would be

moved to nearby safe areas in times of escalating tension between the two super powers. According to articles by staff writer Alan Gottlieb in early 1980s Ute Pass Courier, the El Paso County crisis relocation plan called for up to 8,000 people from the Springs to be temporarily housed in Teller County. Additional population was to be housed in eight other outlying Colorado counties:

Fremont, Chaffee, Gunnison, Sahwatch, Rio Grande, Mineral, LaPlata and Archuleta. In the event of an attack , the visitors would remain in the safe areas until harmful radiation effects had dwindled, according to Frank Mollner, acting regional director for the Federal Emergency Management Agency as reported by the Courier articles. These visitors were to be temporarily housed in public buildings like schools, courthouses, city halls and other similar locations. In addition, the articles by Gottlieb noted that some local residents had made preparations for such a dire occurrence as well. Woodland Park resident Richard Carvill began building a fallout shelter during the Cuban missile crisis in 1962 and still maintained it at the time of Gottliebs articles in the early ‘80s.

An electrical engineer at NORAD for 25 years prior to retiring, Carvill was quoted at the time on his beliefs that the Soviets would launch a first strike. “That is why I live up here instead of the Springs. I think there will be an attack, and it will be with nuclear weapons.” In tune with other survivalist philosophy at the time, Carvill told the reporter that his shelter was for his family only and he was prepared to protect it from trespassers with “a whole arsenal of guns.” “I built it for my family and there is just no room for anyone else,” he said. Other local survivalist expressed similar sentiments. Another Teller County man who also had built a shelter and stored food was also quoted anonymously. “Somebody who comes for my food is in trouble, big trouble,” he said. “He has two choices, go back or go down.”

Friday night lights will fill up skies this fall This week’s column has a sports angle. But it is also about community coming together and kids demonstrating their school pride. Most high school football teams around the state are kicking off their seasons this week. Football, especially under the lights, signals the start of a new school year. It means that fall is just around the corner. Summer fun under the sun is put on hold for the next nine months. Football is truly Americana. Its many moving parts on and off the field trump any other high school sport. Each year beginning the second week of August, teams gather for first “official” practices. Helmets and pads are issued. Locker rooms suddenly have that “sweet” stench that only a football player and coach can appreciate. In another part of the school, marching bands hold camps and work out some of the finer points of their musical selections and moves. Their commitment is just as demanding and just as involved as their athletic counterparts. Still in another part of the school, cheer-

leaders gather. They work out routines and come up with dance moves that - if executed properly - will get the crowd even more excited at the just the right moment. In cafeterias and homes around the area, members of the student body prepare signs in support of their favorite players and teams. They figure out unique ways to demonstrate their school spirit and, hopefully, rally their teams to victory. But there are still more moving parts leading up to the big game. School athletic directors and staff members hammer out last-minute, behindthe-scenes details. Maintenance workers feverishly prepare the field and do their best to make sure there are no hiccups come game day.

Finally, after weeks of preparation, everybody comes together for the three-hour event. In the press box, members of the media huddle in small rooms with their clipboards, notepads and rosters to make sure they detail each play between the two teams. Public address announcers call out the action on the field, while officiating crews implement their skills on the field to make sure the game has a steady flow, void of any controversy. Photographers and medical personnel line the sidelines, along with ball boys, water girls and other game support folks. People in the stands are the ones who seem to benefit the most from the weeks of preparation. The only thing they’re responsible for is having a good time. Usually, as long as they have their foam seats, hot chocolate and popcorn, the experience is a pleasant one. The game on the field has a flavor all its own. A keen football fan will break down a team’s offensive and defensive schemes, count the quarterback’s steps as he drops back to pass and study the linebacker’s movements just before the ball is snapped.

Mom and dad might see the game differently than grandma and grandpa. Some people might not even watch the game at all. Their reason for attending might be to hang out with friends and share good times. Long after the stands are cleared, the field is void of players and the parking lot is empty, somebody in some remote part of the facility turns off the lights and the stadium goes dark; signaling the end of a long day. No doubt, there are many details I’ve left out of this narrative. But hopefully you get the point that a high school football game is more than just an event that features players in pads and an odd-shaped ball. A lifetime of memories can be created by just one game. Dating back to the first game I attended as a fan in the early 1970s, high school football has held a unique place in my heart. I was blessed to play the game, and now write about it for more than a quarter century. My wish is that you get to experience this truly unique American phenomenon again this fall.

Train crew teaches rabble-rousers a lesson I found this story in a February, 1902 Cripple Creek newspaper, and found some very interesting things in it. First, let’s hear the exciting story of passengers on Saturday night’s northbound Midland train had an exciting experience just after leaving Cameron as a result of a fight between the train crew and a party of four men who persisted in smoking and using obscene language and indulging in other disorderly conduct in the ladies coach. The four offenders had boarded the train at Cripple Creek and before the train reached Cameron, their language and conduct had become so obnoxious that some of the passengers reacted and asked them to go to the smoking car. Those making the request were cursed and abused for doing so, and when pulling out of Cameron, one of them complained to Conductor Prosser, asking him to exert his authority toward keeping order. Prosser went to the men and told them that if they wished to smoke or indulge in such profane language as they had been using, they would have to retire to the smoking car. Their reply was a volley of curses, and Prosser took one of them by the collar to lead him to the smoker. Another of the party kicked Prosser in the stomach, and fighting began. Conductor Prosser and Brakeman Hoover used their lanterns over the heads of two of the men with telling effect, and in a very short time the entire party was perfectly tame and willing to go wherever the crew

directed. The loss to the Midland was two lanterns and a window glass in the coach. The remainder of the passengers were undisturbed from that point to the Springs. Two of the disturbers received severe cuts about the head and face, but their injuries were not serious. I have often wondered if this was a problem on the late night trains in the district, and this one is on a Saturday night! I had a brief meeting with this conductor as a little child, after the railroad had closed in the early 1950s. He was the conductor on the last passenger trains in 1949. He lived a few houses away from where I lived. In 1902 he must have been not yet 30 years old. He was of average height, and I would suspect in 1902 was in pretty good shape physically. These fellows were in for a good fight, and a lantern is a lethal weapon! I think the folks in the coach with the broken window probably had a pretty cold trip unless some way was found to cover it. A trip on a February night with the cold night air blowing on you for the two hours it took to get to Colorado Springs certainly was not pleasant.

Common Core is bad news for your child’s future Last week you sent your kids off for another year of school, most likely not even aware of the latest unconstitutional power grab on education, Common Core, nor how it will affect you and your child’s future. Common Core is a set of national K-12 content standards, currently in math and English/Language arts, developed without teacher or parental input and presented to the states in a glitzy “three for the price of one” package: 1. sign on to the national standards. 2. contract to set up a statewide data mining system. 3. agree to join one of two national assessment consortiums. The glitzy dangling money carrot … districts could write a grant for the chance to win additional federal funding. The catch … their particular state must have signed, contracted and agreed to the entire package in order for such district to even be eligible to win. Each of these three components will have liberty strippin’ effects for both you and your child.

Common Core standards:

According to experts in the fields of literacy and math, these standards deemphasize content, fail to foster critical thinking, and will close the door on inno-

only be found in Washington D.C.

Statewide Data Mining System:

vation. Both Sandra Stotsky, literacy expert, and James Milgram, math expert, refused to sign off on the standards, noting lack of evidence that they had been internationally benchmarked. Other noted “lowlights” are: 1. American students will most likely be at least two years behind mathematically by seventh grade. 2. Unproven experimental techniques are used to teach geometry. 3. Kindergarten through 12th-grade readers are required to spend 50 percent of instructional time in informational texts such as government regulation documents … invasive plant inventory and the recommended levels of insulation. 4. Copyrighted standards cannot be modified by states or individual districts. If you take issue with any of these standards … answers to any of your concerns will

Published U.S. Department of Education documents discuss educational data mining, stating that “in controlled laboratory settings, these kinds of performances are easily observable”. These documents go on to state: “Discrete emotions … may be measured through analysis of facial expressions, EEG brain wave patterns, skin conductance, heart rate variability, posture and eye tracking”. A minimum of 360 indispensable data points will be collected on all students, to include: Social security number, religious affiliation, voting status, blood type, health history, academic achievement and disciplinary records. Colorado has contracted with inBloom, Inc. for such data mining “services”. But don’t worry. Nothing could go wrong here.

National Assessment Consortium:

Colorado has joined the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers, a 19-state consortium “winning” $186 million of those federal grant funds. PARC’s national assessments are slated to begin next school year (2014-15). Their proposal includes two assessments per subject per year … one computer-based and the second a combination of

essays and performance tasks … currently awaiting approval by the U.S. Department of Education. Another piece of the assessment puzzle … 50 percent of a teacher’s evaluation is based upon student-assessment performance. While such accountability might sound good, the result will be “high stakes testing on steroids”. Not only will teaching to the test be the norm of the day, but your child will be subjected to tests piled upon tests prior to the “assessments” to make sure they can regurgitate the “test”. You see … the assessments will become the curriculum. Every textbook’s table of contents will reflect the “test”. I don’t much care for the risks involved when playing poker, much less “liberty strippin’ poker”. We … you and me … must wake up and then stand up before the day comes when we will scrutinize our past actions and look upon our children in shame … finding that we have all been stripped bare of all of our constitutional rights, our God-given liberties … and along with it, all of our dignity.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Voters have right to recall

Dear Editor, There has been a lot of talk lately about recall. As I’ve said before, that is a citizen’s right as a voter, to recall their duly elected official. But I think a lot of people don’t realize the costs, both direct and indirect, that are involved in a recall election. Elections themselves are not free. That was an interesting fact I had not realized before my time in municipal government. Someone has to pay for the election judges, print the ballots, mail the ballots (if applicable), etc. That someone is you, the taxpayer. In a municipality, we budget for the election every two years. It is a budget item, and money is set aside to take care of the expenses. A recall, on the other hand, is not a budget item. Recalls themselves can occur anytime in the election cycle and, much like the weather, municipalities cannot predict them, and therefore can’t budget for the costs. I do not know what the exact cost of the recall will be; in fact, we will receive the bill after the fact. But the estimate from El Paso County is $5,000 which may be lower than the actual cost. This $5,000 is going to buy you, the citizen, this: Election judges Election monitoring Ballots (if you’re following local recalls currently occurring, please note that if a ballot must be reprinted, that cost must be paid as well). Counting the ballots/getting the results These costs will be incurred by El Paso County and charged back to Green Mountain Falls, because that is what happens during a typical election and insures the integrity of the vote. If we go with current Colorado census data of a population of 707 full-time Green Mountain Falls’ residents, this costs every man, woman and child living here $7.07. That’s not a bad cost unless you consider the following: This unbudgeted line item must come from somewhere. Indeed, Green Mountain Falls has a contingency fund, and we have used that fund from time-to-time to pay for emergency items, such as a new piece of road equipment, for a new transmission for a police vehicle, or to assure we could continue to function when Town Hall was burned down. Any money that comes out of contingency must be paid back, as dictated by our ordinances. This is not “free money” as some people are touting. Any money used is paid back by the department that used it; the money must be held in trust to support Green Mountain Falls. A recall cost will not be paid back by one department, but rather the burden will most likely be spread among every department.

So therefore, the $5,000 will impact the budget either now or later, but must be considered a loan that must be paid. Here is what $5,000 currently buys you, the citizen of GMF: 1. The plow blades, chains & fuel for the snowplows for the winter. 2. Three month’s salary for a 30-hour per week part-time employee in Public Works or the Marshal’s Office. 3. The fuel budget for the Marshal’s office for a year. 4. Twenty percent of the pool budget. 5. The electricity for the lights, the porta-pots and the trash disposal for the parks for the summer. Those are the direct costs for a recall, and those are actual line items in the town budget. Those are real costs and real benefits to you and me and every citizen and visitor to Green Mountain Falls. Now, let’s consider the indirect costs. I’ve heard more and more people outside of town deciding that GMF is not a nice place to come. They don’t want to get married at the Gazebo, because we are “so angry.” They don’t want to come to and enjoy a meal because they don’t want to be around “those people.” I’ve heard officials from other towns refer to us as a “joke” and “having real leadership issues.” Every week Green Mountain Falls seems to be in a newspaper for all the wrong reasons. Indeed, I’ve heard our own citizens refer to the board as “a circus, clowns and uneducated fools.” And it must be considered that this reputation will impact revenues and perhaps future grants. Let us recognize that much of the discontent and finger-pointing is coming from non-residents who have no stake in this municipality and have nothing to lose as they watch the bonafide taxpayers shell out. These recall supporters are unaccountable and irresponsible. Most definitely there is no winning in a recall election because one way or another, the taxpayer will pay. Unfortunately, no individual wins - but the taxpayer loses. And the town loses. And truly, there is an indirect cost concerning my time and skills. I believe my energy would be better spent as I’ve done in the past - researching and writing grant proposals, working on ordinances for the town, finding new opportunities to improve what we have here. Instead, I’m being distracted and worn down with attacks, accusations and red herrings. I, for one, refuse to be bullied into stepping aside. I firmly believe that I represent more than an angry group. I believe I represent you, the silent majority. And I know where I’d prefer my $7.07 to be spent. Sincerely, Jane Newberry Mayor pro tem

Go ahead, help make someone’s day They stand on a corner, three teenage girls in colorful summer dresses, their hands held high and clutching posterboards in neon green and pink scrawled with cheery messages: “Find the good.” “Smile - U - matter.” “Stay positive.” “Honk if you’re happy.” And many drivers do, creating an intermittent cacophony of horns of varying timbres and tempos. The girls respond with wide smiles and spirited fist pumps. Kinzi Kuhloie gives a thumbs-up as one driver leans on the horn repeatedly in a long series of honks. “Yeah!” she says excitedly. “They’re really pumped!” Kinzi is 17 and she’s been sign-holding, as she calls it, for two years. Her motivation is uncomplicated. “Life can get overwhelming and so many things can build up that you don’t find the good,” she says. “This reminds you to look for the good . . . and remember that it’s there.” Kinzi and her friends, Alyssa Hayne, 16, and Emily VonDongen, 19, have hit the streets in Highlands Ranch with their signs about twice a week this summer. The positive response, they say, keeps them coming back. “We’re making people happy,” Alyssa says, “one sign at a time.”

••• Kinzi, Alyssa and Emily are part of a growing grassroots crusade to spread positive thinking. She got the idea from a good friend, a student at Mesa State University in Grand Junction, who started a club to promote positivity by holding signs. In Anacortes, Wash., in May 2012, the Happiness Sprinkling Project was born when people gathered at a popular intersection and held signs saying “You are loved” and “Yes oh Yes.” The movement to

“sprinkle happiness” through sign-holding events has since spread to 20 cities and two countries, according to its website. Last year, in Washington, D.C., a 29-year-old man campaigned to make people smile by standing at street corners with friends holding posterboards declaring “Honk if you love someone,” “Be happy” and “Don’t be so hard on yourself.” Passersby loved them back. These spontaneous, informal events fit neatly into the emerging field of positive psychology and the study of happiness. Instead of trying to figure out why we feel sad or depressed, positive psychology focuses instead on how we can become happier and more fulfilled. The world-renowned founder of positive psychology, Dr. Martin Seligman, directs the Positive Psychology Center at the University of Pennsylvania. (You can take the free authentic happiness test on the center’s website at www.authentichappiness.sas.upenn.edu/Default.aspx.) He contends that happiness can be analyzed into three measurable elements —positive emotion, engagement and meaning — and that the ultimate goal is to reach a state of well-being. What Kinzi and her friends are doing may not be earth-shattering in terms of establishing lasting happiness, but creating moments that make us smile or laugh or lift our spirits can make a difference that matters. Kateri McRae, an assistant professor at

the University of Denver who researches emotions, notes that studies show our brains are wired in a way that tune in more quickly to negative information. “Evolutionarily, negative information is usually more critical to deal with — and to deal with quickly — and so our brains process negative information a little bit faster,” she says. For instance, “If we discover there is something that wants to eat us out there, (the brain tells us) we should run as fast as possible.” Our brains hone in rapidly on causes of negative emotion, too. “We tend to pick out a `frownie’ face out of a sea of smiling faces pretty quickly,” McRae says. “Negative emotions can even further narrow our attention and . . . remind us of other negative things,” generating a feedback loop that keeps circulating unhappy feelings. But those same reinforcing effects manifest themselves with positive emotion also. “Being in a positive mood tends to make you more aware of the more positive things around you,” McRae says. “Remembering positive things tends to remind you of other positive things.” What Kinzi and her friends are doing, McRae says, can be clinically described as “benefit-finding” — encouraging people to look for the hidden benefits in life — a component of many therapeutic interventions. “You never know what is going to send somebody up, flip around a downward spiral into an upward spiral,” McRae says. “There is potential a sign could do that. My best guess would be that it helps a small portion of the people who drive by. You never know what’s going to turn someone’s day around. . . . Sometimes, you just need a reminder.”

••• For Kinzi and her friends, much happi-

ness comes from making others happy. Yes, there have been people who flip them off or yell “You suck!” as they drive by. Kinzi’s reaction: “It’s really unfortunate you guys think that way, but you need the love the most.” But by and far, reaction is overwhelmingly positive. “Some guy pulled over last week and gave us $20,” Kinzi says. “He said, `You deserve some lunch.’ That was cool.” Another driver once parked to say: “I was having a terrible day and your sign completely turned it around and gave me hope.” And the driver of a Wonder Bread truck tossed out a box of muffins. Kinzi has plans to start a club that would take the positivity from the sign-holding to another level, something longer lasting — “the idea if I can change your day, you’ll change somebody else’s day.” But, on this afternoon, the girls enthusiastically wave their signs in the hope of bringing a little joy to someone who could use a pick-me-up. One driver shouts through a window: “Have a good day!” “Yeah!” Emily shouts back, glee in her voice. “You, too!” A car with two young men stops, waiting for the light to change. The driver leans over and yells: “What are you guys doing this for?” Emily grins: “To make you guys happy!” He pauses a moment, looks at her, then: “Thank you for making my day.” And he eases the car into the intersection, the smile on his face celebrating a moment of unexpected and simple pleasure.

What are the advantages of living in incorporated township? I was talking with a citizen at the post office in Green Mountain Falls last week who asked what the advantages were of living in an incorporated township where the taxes were higher than in an unincorporated county community. I took the time to explain some of the advantages, but it inspired me to spend more time on the question when I got home. I sat down and made a list of the public assets in Green Mountain Falls and then consulted with members of town council, the administrative staff and two members of the Triangle Chamber of Commerce. We came up with a list within the communities of Chipita Park, Cascade and Crystola using the same standard as Green Mountain Falls, and then we compared the lists. It became clear that there are advantages to living within an incorporated community, as outlined below. Not mentioned are the municipal service advantages that are provided within Green Mountain Falls; the same services that received approval ratings between 65 percent and 85 percent in two surveys dated in 2007 and 2010. The bottom line appears to correlate with the adage “you get what you pay for”.

It appears that the property owners in Green Mountain Falls are seeing a fair return on their investment overall. Green Mountain Falls’ residents pay 4 percent higher tax than unincorporated EPC. What kind of benefits do the citizens of incorporated Green Mountain Falls have compared with neighboring unincorporated communities (see chart)?

A Navy veteran himself and a life-long biker, the long line of motorcycles brought back so many memories for McVey as he stood in front of Buck’s Saloon with his son, Rick McVey of Woodland Park.

Hoist a brew this Labor Day weekend Local choices abound around town By Sherri L. Albertson Special to the Courier

With Labor Day weekend approaching, what better time to visit one of the local brewpubs to enjoy a pint of specially-crafted Colorado beer. Colorado is known as a “great beer state” and no matter what someone’s preference may be, whether it’s a hoppy IPA, amber Belgian ale, bock lager or dozens of other varieties, it can be found right here in town. BierWerks opened in August of 2010 and is operated by an investment group led by Arden Weatherford. This popular, open-air, family and dog-friendly pub is the only true brewery pouring Woodland Park-crafted beers, created by brewmaster, James McGraw. McGraw trained at the prestigious Doemens Academy in Munich, Germany, and is enthusiastic and passionate about the various German styles of beer. McGraw came to BierWerks from Southern California where he worked for BJ’s Brewhouse and Tustin Brewing Co. The pub now has 10 beers on tap, their Helles, a Bavarian-style blonde lager and Hop Monster IPA, are the current favorites, plus they serve handmade rootbeer, orange soda, lemon-lime soda and hard apple cider, made in Ohio. Weatherford said that a comment he hears a lot from customers is that they “never went out for a beer in Woodland Park before BierWerks opened.” He credits their friendly servers, led by Amber Baldus and Alanna Snare, as an important part of the brewpub experience and their top-quality customer ser-

WHERE AND WHEN? BIERWERKS IS located at 121 E. Midland Ave., on

the corner of Highway 24 (Midland Ave) and Fairview Street next to The Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center. Call 719-686-8100. Open Monday through Saturday from noon to 10 p.m., Sundays noon to 8 p.m.

PARADOX IS located at 106 E. Village Terrace. Call 719-686-8081. Open Thursdays from 4 to 9 p.m., Fridays from 4 to 10 p.m., Saturdays from 2 to 10 p.m. and Sundays from 2 to 7 p.m. UTE PAS Brewing Co. is located at 209 E. Midland,

Highway 24, in downtown Woodland Park, directly across from The Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center. Call 719-686-8722. Open Tuesday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. vice keeps people coming back . Stop by for a brew and a wood-fired Gypsy Pizza or a barbecue plate from Phil’s Pig Out barbecue truck or customer’s choice “dutch lunch” plate of cheese and salami. Customers can also join the BierWerks’ mug club or meet up with the Bier Run & Ride every Monday evening. Stay tuned for their new beer garden location. Go to www.BierWerks.com for more information. Paradox Beer Co. – “Wayward Beers, Barrel Aged” – opened their beer tasting room this past March under the former Tweeds furniture store location. Their handcrafted “project beers” start the brewing process in Monument at Chris Wright’s Pikes Peak Brewing Co. and are then placed in specialized tanks and trucked up the Pass to their quaint establishment where fermentation, conditioning and bottling all takes place. Brewers Brian Horton and Jeff Aragon stated that barrel-aged, bottle conditioned beers are their forte. Accord-

Did you know Woodland Park’s best-kept secret? Did you know that Woodland Park is home to The Brewing Science Institute? This best-kept secret, established in 1996, is a yeast laboratory that sells yeast to breweries worldwide to BierWerks. Busi-

ness partners David Bryant and Bryan Pearson share more than 30 years of combined experience in microbiology and brewing technology. Find out more at www.brewingscience.com.

ing to Aragon, they couldn’t be happier about it. “We’ve been wanting to do this for a long time,” Jeff said. “These are the kind of beers that we like to brew, and the beers that we love to drink.” According to their website, Paradox now has more than 100 oak barrels to age their beer in. Some held Syrah wine, Bordeaux, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. Some held whiskey and rum. All of those original wines and liquors leave their essence in the barrel, and impart something special to the beer that comes next. Drop in for a taste of the customer favorites Trippel Double IPA, Pale Cask Skully No. 3 or Yang creation. Their brews are also sold at some of Colorado’s finest restaurants and liquor merchants, including Woodland Park’s Gold Hill Liquors and Paradise Spirits. Go to www.paradoxbeercompany.com for more information. Ute Pass Brewing Company also opened in March. The tavern has a charming lodge décor with game table tops and locallyhewn, beetle-killed pine paneling and is a dream venture in the works for owners Todd DeRemus and Scott Jones. Ute Pass hosts live musicians every week and has quite an impressive menu of sliders, paninis and brats and customer favorites, stuffed burgers and Wally’s Tamales World Famous Tamacos.

There are options for indoor and outdoor seating and children and dogs are welcome guests. Currently featuring seven guest beers crafted in Colorado from places like Left Hand Brewing Co. in Longmont, Pikes Peak Brewing Co., Bristol Brewing Co. in Colorado Springs and Paradox, DeRemus and Jones hope to have their own brewing operations up and running soon. “We have all the paperwork turned in and our plans are waiting to be realized,” DeRemus said. Go to www. utepassbrewingcompany. com for more information. For a complete guide to breweries, brewpubs and more across the state of Colorado, pick up a copy of “The Beer Drinker’s Guide to Colorado.” Published in Colorado Springs and now in its seventh edition, this is the self-proclaimed “ultimate map and travel guide” to all things beer related in Colorado. The map, plus more - more than $300 in free beer coupons, history and beer factoids - highlights nearly 225 establishments from Pueblo to the Denver area and Colorado Springs west to Grand Junction. Find them at www.beerdrinkersguidetocolorado.com or pick up a copy at Paradox Beer Co.

Academy on-ramp shortened Road work to be completed by end of September

Dr. Messner is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon specializing in general orthopedic care for patients of all ages, including:

• Sports related injures • Trauma/Fracture Care • Total joint replacement of the hip and knee • Arthroscopic and reconstructive surgery of the knee, shoulder, and elbow • Arthoscopic ACL reconstruction • Shoulder Rotator Cuff Repair • General Hand surgery including Carpal Tunnel Release, Trigger Finger Release • Surgical and non-surgical arthritis care, including cortisone and Orthovisc injections.

Drivers who enter southbound Interstate 25 from southbound Academy Boulevard have probably noticed the acceleration ramp has been shortened. Southbound I-25 traffic has temporarily shifted to the west to accommodate work in the interstate’s median. According to the Colorado Department of Transportation, the contractor is accelerating work in the segment of highway between Academy Boulevard and Woodmen Road and anticipates completion by the end of September. Once the widening work is complete

in the southbound lanes, traffic will once again shift to the east, which will result in a continuous acceleration lane between Academy Boulevard and Woodmen Road. Drivers who prefer to avoid this on ramp are encouraged to use an alternate route to southbound I-25. The recommended detour is Academy Boulevard south to Woodmen Road and Woodmen Road west to southbound I-25. Drivers who use the on ramp are asked to be patient and cautious as they merge with southbound I-25 traffic and drivers on southbound I-25 approaching the acceleration ramp from Academy Boulevard are asked to watch for merging traffic, the CDOT said. All work is subject to weather and road conditions.

Produced by Thin Air Theatre Company, this show will offer a fun outing for the entire family and stars three of the Butte’s favorite actors; Mickey Burdick, Rebecca Myers and Nick Madson. From the mind of one of America’s comedic genius’ comes this story set in San Francisco of the late 1960s of what happens when you take a writer for a liberal extrem-

ist newspaper ... his editor (who will do anything to keep his newspaper going) ... and an all-American Southern girl with beliefs so conservative that she’d consider Bob Dole a radical ... add in a little unrequited love and shake. “The Star-Spangled Girl” first opened on Broadway at the Plymouth Theatre on Dec. 21, 1966. The original cast featured Anthony Perkins as Andy, Richard Benjamin as Norman and Connie Stevens as Sophie. The play was adapted into a movie in 1971. The show runs Thursdays through Sundays from Sept. 6 to 28. Ticket prices are adults, $16.25; senior, $14.25; child, $10.25; group of 12 and more, $13.25; group of 20 and more, $12.25 To make reservations visit ThinAirTheatre.com.

Lake George Charter School sees 200 at open house Enrollment for 2013-14 school year stands at 137 By Sonja Oliver

Special to Courier Focusing on the children, Lake George Charter School Administrator Bill Fredenburg encouraged a group of students to recite the school’s pledge to more than 200 in attendance at an open house held on Aug. 15. The pledge, which children participated in writing, said: “I promise to carry myself with pride and dignity; to treat all members of the Lake George Charter School with courtesy and respect; to uphold the honor of my family, my school, and my community in all my undertakings. I am proud to be a student of the Lake Charter School. I accept

the status, privileges, honor, and responsibilities of membership in the Lake George Charter School.” Students will recite the pledge every morning following the Pledge of Allegiance. The audience was then introduced to the staff who will work with the children for the 2013-14 school year. Parents and children were encouraged to meet with teachers and, for the new students, familiarize themselves with the school facility. “It went very, very well. Overall we had a great turnout. The parents have been very supportive,” Fredenburg said of the open house. Fredenburg has taken the reins as the school’s new principal following the retirement of Pat Lewis. The school day officially begins at 7:55 a.m., when the doors are locked, and ends

at 4 p.m. The school provides a free breakfast to all students from 7:30 to 7:55 a.m. Lunch is from 11:55 a.m. to 12:50 p.m., depending on classes. The schedule includes daily enrichment classes. Monday is music, Tuesday, art, Wednesday, physical education and Thursday, piano lessons, tutoring and lab. School Board President John Rakowski said that the board hopes are for the school’s progress to continue on the path of accomplishments the school has made so far. Rakowski also said the school board “has strong confidence in (Bill Fredenburg)” as the new administrator. “I think he’s going to do a great job with the kids,” Rakowski said. Fredenburg was known and well-liked by the students during his tenure as the sixth-

and seventh-grade teacher. Prior to his teaching position at Lake George, Fredenburg had retired as a school administrator in Missouri. Rakowski also said the teachers were really excited about the new math an science curriculum the school has recently adopted. “We are building on the progress that’s been made,” Rakowski said. Enrollment has increased, test scores have risen and the school’s classification with the state has jumped up two positions in a four-classification system in the last two years. The new building, now in its second year can house 140 students. According to school secretary Julie Gilley, this year’s enrollment stands at 137 students, which includes a morning and afternoon preschool program.

Annual Lake George Extravaganza attracts hundreds Locals, visitors turn out to support community By Sonja Oliver

Special to the Courier The small, mountain town of Lake George saw hundreds of people during this past weekend that attended several events at this years’ Lake George Extravaganza. The annual event is well-named because of the diversity of entertainment opportunities such as the Lake George Gem and Mineral Show, the fire department’s spaghetti supper, an antique tractor pull competition, library used-book sale, flea market and craft sale. The annual Lake George Gem and Mineral Show brought dealers from throughout the country and serious rockhounds who attended in large numbers. Dealers had on display and for sale minerals, fossils, jewelry, lapidary and local specimens of amazonite, smoky quartz, topaz, aquamarine and more. Also present at the show was Rich Fretterd, who was being filmed for a second season of “Prospectors” by a crew from The Weather Channel’s popular show. The show will focus on a very rare “new find” of topaz named Pike’s Peak Topaz. More information will be revealed once the show is aired. This will be the final year for the show’s display of a well-known, 4-and-a-halffoot tall smokey quartz crystal found at the Godsend Claim by Fretterd in the Lake George and Florissant area. Fretterd has donated the large specimen to the Colorado School of Mining and Engineering in Golden. Fretterd has been rock hunting since he was 8 years old and growing up in Colorado. He calls the state “a rockhounding paradise” and wanted to encourage children to “get out there and rock hunt.” He then drew attention to the “pebble pups” program through the Lake George Gem and Mineral Club which

Photos by Sonja Oliver teaches young people how to spot rocks and encourages them to write and do artwork in regards to their experiences. The Stock Antique Tractor Pull, sponsored by the Arkansas Valley Flywheelers, saw more than 40 competing tractors from throughout the state compete along with many local entries. There was a total of 143 “hooks” or pulls. Each tractor pulled a weighted sled in several weight classes along with different operators. According to estimates, attendance for the event was lower this year, although there was still a good turnout.

During the extravaganza, sponsored by the Lake George Community Association, the Lake George Branch of the Park County Library raised $400 at its annual used-book sale to benefit the library’s programs, according to Kim Plutt, librarian. Plutt also reported that the weekend event raised $100 for the Lake George Community Park; proceeds from the tractor pull and the flea market and craft sale. The Lake George Fire Protection District saw more than 200 people at its annual spaghetti supper fundraiser on Aug. 17 at the firehouse. Donations benefit the fire protection district and came to $1,328, according to Fire Chief Dutch Kleinhesselink.

People dined on spaghetti and danced to music provided by the Florissant Jammers, a group of local musicians. “The money raised will be used for training. For example, it will be used for sending three firefighters to the CSFA to further enhance their firefighting skills,” Kleinhesselink said. Kleinhesselink expressed his appreciation for the local support from entities such as Camp Alexander who donated the use of their kitchen, Dawn Williams and Laura Geyer and Blue Mountain Ranch. “I especially would like to thank the community for their attendance and financial support for the fire department,” Kleinhesselink said.

Student thrives with Woodland Park Arts Alliance Girl wins rave reviews for musical talent

phill@ourcoloradonews.com Joyous, playful, passionate and soulful, the music of pianist Rebekah Crampton covers a range of emotions as her fingers dance over the keyboard. In a world premiere of “Impressions on Color” at the International Music Syndicate in Colorado Springs on Aug. 20, Crampton won rave reviews from her audience of 160 people. Crampton, 13, a student at the Woodland Park Middle School, played the color “Yellow” in the seven-piece work by Kevin Olson, Ph.D., composer, pianist and professor at Utah State University. In addition to the debut piece, Crampton performed her own composition “Journey to Hope,” and received a glowing critique from Olson. “She doesn’t hesitate to get to the outer realms of the keyboard,” Olson said. “She is letting harmony and harmonic progression drive the piece.” Two years ago, Crampton received the first arts scholarship awarded by the Woodland Park Arts Alliance. “The scholarship has opened a lot of doors,” she said. “If I hadn’t had the scholarship I probably wouldn’t have met Abe or Phil,” she said. “Abe” is Abram Minzer, pianist and professor of music at Pikes Peak Community College and the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. The alliance funds Crampton’s lessons with the professor. “Rebekah had some great training but I pushed her beyond where she was,” Minzer said. “Some kids are a little timid, play nice pretty music but I put her into some powerful music.” As part of the push, Minzer introduced Crampton to “Orage” by Franz Liszt. “I gave that piece to her, not with the intention that she would perform it,” Minzer said. Crampton balked, Minzer said. As a result, Crampton played the “Orage” at Minzer’s Classically Alive concert. As luck would have it, Lawrence Leighton Smith, former conductor of the Colorado Springs Philharmonic, was among the listeners that evening. “Smith was impressed with her poise,” Minzer said. “Phil” is Phil Erklen, president of the music syndicate and founder of the Children for Children Program,

From left, Ralph Holloway, chairman and founder of the Woodland Park Arts Alliance, Rebekah Crampton and Kevin Olson. The photo was taken at the International Music Syndicate in Colorado Springs where Crampton was among the performers to introduce Olson’s work “Impressions on Color.” Crampton played the color yellow. Courtesy photo each of which offers Crampton the opportunity to study composition, studio recording and publishing. As Crampton’s artistic skills expand, she is the inspiration behind the WPAA’s next fundraiser, a concert that features Steve Barta Sept. 6 at the Ute Pass Cultural Center in Woodland Park. “The alliance showed me what they were doing. I felt that supporting such passion in a place like Woodland Park was extremely attractive,” Barta said. “I want to do what I can to support this honest effort by everyone. I’m following their lead in bringing my name and my music to this very strong effort.” Barta was nominated for a Grammy Award last year in the Best Children’s Music category, for the album “Jumpin’ Jazz: A Swinging Jungle Tale,” produced by Barta and Mark Oblinger. Barta wrote the orchestral score.

Ralph Holloway, founder and chairman of the arts alliance, is credited with making a difference in the lives of Teller County students. “For the past two years, the emphasis of the alliance has been geared toward our Scholarship Program,” Holloway said. “Every person who has attended any WPAA program recently has played a significant role in developing and furthering the talents of those who have been the beneficiary of a WPAA scholarship, like Rebekah.” In addition to the Barta fundraising concert, the alliance will hold the “Winter Wine and Microbrew Tasting” Oct. 11. The proceeds of both go to the alliance’s Scholarship Program. For information or to buy tickets, call Seven Arrows Gallery at 719-761-1676.

Children perform in original western melodrama Florissant Library production deemed a sucess By Sonja Oliver Cookies and western melodrama were partnered in a play presented by the Florissant Public Library’s youth summer drama program on Aug. 17 at the Florissant Grange. “Cowgirl Cookie and the Case of the Missing Chocolate Chips” was written and directed by Park County resident Alexi Alfieri and performed by 24 children from Lake George, Florissant and Woodland Park who participated in the Florissant Public Library’s Summer Drama Club. The story surrounds the mystery of a stolen bag of chocolate chip cookies and is written in the melodramatic style. Each character has a name associated with cookies or baking with Alfieri writing a speaking part for each child in the production. And, for those who did not want to speak, Alfieri made sure their character had signs to speak for them telling the audience

when to “applaud,” “boo” or “hiss.” This was the first year in the drama club for the group of young actors aged 10-16, and the program was deemed a success with indications that the library would offer the opportunity to area children next summer. Many people from the library and surrounding communities were involved in order to support the children in their acting pursuits; which included construction of sets, props, painting, costuming and baking of the cookies. The Florissant Grange allowed the use of their stage for the performance. According to Friends of the Florissant Library member Sheila Naviasky, the play attracted 130 in attendance at the Grange. “It was a wonderful, wonderful event. Every chair was filled,” Naviasky said of the evening’s performance, adding that many attended the dress rehearsal as well. Naviasky said all types of cookies were baked by Friends of the Florissant Library volunteers, parents and even young cast members as a way to fund and support the program for next summer’s production.

The cast of 24 children in the play, “Cowgirl Cookie and the case of the Missing Chocolate Chips,” take a moment to pose for a group picture at their dress rehearsal on Aug. 16 in preparation for their performance that evening at the Florissant Grange. The western melodrama was written by Alexi Alfieri, for the Florissant Library’s Summer Drama Club. Photos by Sonja Oliver

Panthers ready to pounce on the competition Woodland Park looking to rebound from 3-7 season in 2012 By Danny Summers

Dsummers@ourcoloradonews.com A new year brings a new outlook for the Woodland Park High School football team. “I guarantee this will be my best season as a football coach,” said Woodland Park head coach Joe Roskam. “I know the guys on this team will do everything in their power to make sure it’s a successful season.” Woodland Park finished 3-7 overall in 2012, 1-4 in the Class 3A Southern Conference. Four times in 2012, Panthers games ended with a running clock. It was humiliating for the players and coaches, especially since expectations were so high. But that was then and this is now, according to Roskam. “I evaluated the season as much as I could and then moved on,” Roskam said. Seemingly, all of the returning lettermen from last year have also put the troubled season behind them as well.

“We definitely use it as motivation,” said senior tight end/linebacker Nich Nunes. “It gives us more oomph to work harder and to just overall better ourselves.” Woodland Park’s 2012 season was also marked by a rash of injuries; everything from broken legs to concussions. In one game alone, the Panthers lost five starters to injury. By the midway point of the season they were down as many as eight starters on offense and defense. “I think things will be much better this year,” Nunez said. “Coming together and playing as a team is huge.” There were a number of bright spots last season. Freshman now sophomore, Matt Cox filled in nicely for the injured Jacob Censner at quarterback. In five starts he completed 17 of 41 passes for 261 yards and four touchdowns. Cox also was the team’s leading rusher with 459 yards and two scores. “The game changes so much between ‘C’ squad and varsity that the speed of the game would be really hard to just go right into,” said Cox, who also started at running back and safety last season. “I have those five games experience as a starting quarterback so it should be easier to cope with.

“I just want to do whatever is best for the team. If it’s passing the ball I’ll do that. If it’s running the ball I’ll run it.” Senior wide receiver Jon Jon Hinton is hoping his No. 16 gets called a lot. “I just want to catch all the balls he throws to me,” said Hinton, who caught a team-leading 13 passes for 200 yards and three touchdowns in 2012. Senior tailback/linebacker Weston Shutts had nearly 300 yards rushing and a team-leading five touchdowns before his season was cut short with a knee injury. Junior running back/linebacker Dylan Schaller-Ward rushed for about 100 yards and a pair of touchdowns in a reserve role. Other key returning starters are seniors Joe Pannozzo (two-way lineman), Justin Marsala (offensive line) Alex Salmons (offensive line), Ronnie Simonson (tight end/ linebacker), Logan Watters (defensive back), Josh Smith (linebacker) and Nathan Peterson (defensive line), and sophomore James Ensley (tight end). Defensively, Woodland Park allowed 396 points last season - an average of nearly 40 per game. Pannozzo said the team needs to become better fundamentally. “We have to be sounder as a team and

work together,” he said. Roskam will have a big say in that as he takes over as the defensive coordinator this season. He had been the offensive coordinator. “We built a different defensive scheme that will fit more of our personnel,” Roskam said. “I want to maximize our personnel and put us in the best position to be successful.” The Southern Conference is down to five teams this season due to the closing of Wasson last spring. But the league might be even better. Defending league champion Discovery Canyon defeated Pueblo Central, 28-7, in its season opener on Aug. 23, while Lewis-Palmer lost to Pueblo East, 35-13. Coronado had no problem disposing of Pueblo County, 43-0. Mitchell lost to La Junta, 39-14. “I think our league will have three of the top six or seven teams in the state,” Roskam said, referring to Discovery Canyon, LewisPalmer and Coronado. “We just have to line up and play them. If we’re afraid we’ll cancel the season.” Woodland Park hosts Englewood in the season opener on Friday. Game time is scheduled for 7 p.m.

Panthers have an adventurous start to softball season Woodland Park gets shut out of Ute Pass on Aug. 22 due to rain and hail storm; responds with a pair of victories over the weekend By Danny Summers

Dsummers@ourcoloradonews.com The Woodland Park High School softball team was supposed to play its first game of the season on Aug. 22 at Palmer Ridge. But Mother Nature had a different idea when a severe rain and hail storm pounded the

Pikes Peak region. Not only was the game postponed, the Panthers could not get back home. So they had dinner at Borriello Brothers near Coronado High School in Colorado Springs and spent the night at the Holiday Inn Express on Garden of the Gods Road. “We tried waiting the weather out for two hours because we really wanted to get that game in, but we finally had to call it,” said Woodland Park coach Dale Huntington. “Then we got shut out of the pass so we made the best of it.” Huntington, along with his assistant coaches and 10 of the 13 players on the team, settled in for the night at Holiday Inn and got up the next morning at 6:15 a.m. for

breakfast. They then headed Ute Pass without incident, allowing the girls enough time to get ready for school. “The bonding stuff that happened was just great,” Huntington said. “The whole thing might have been a big plus for us. We’ll find out.” Thanks to a gutty performance by the Woodland Park grounds crew, the Panthers were able to host Sand Creek on Aug. 23 and Conifer on Aug. 24. Woodland Park came out on top in both games by scores of 17-2 and 6-2, respectively. The victory over Conifer was Woodland Park’s first in at least five attempts, according to Huntington. Senior right-hander Mallorie Trichell

picked up both victories. She pitched three innings of the shortened four-inning game against Sand Creek, and went all seven innings against Conifer, striking out five and walking two. “Mallorie is looking fantastic as a pitcher,” Huntington said. “She really controls her drop ball. The bottom just drops out. She adjusted it to where it was bouncing in front of home plate.” Woodland Park got plenty of offense in the two games. Senior Kelee Suggs was a combined 4 for 7 with four RBIs, two home runs and six runs scored in the two games. Junior Lexi Comer was 4 for 5 with a homer, Soccer continues on Page 26

New look Pioneers ready for football season Buss takes over as new coach By Danny Summers

Dsummers@ourcoloradonews.com Jordan Buss takes over as the new football coach for Cripple Creek-Victor High School. At 21, he might be the youngest head football coach in the state. “I came up here two years ago and started coaching football at the middle school,” Buss said. “We played 11man at that time, then went to eight-man last year. “I know a lot of these guys and I think we have a pretty good relationship.” The fact that Buss is just a few years older than his players could be a plus. “I like his organization and leadership and everything that he does,” Pioneers senior quarterback Scott Cain said. “I like the coaching staff a lot. They seem to be really organized and on top of things. They were able to get a lot more (players) out than normal. I think it’s great,” Cody Rice, junior tight end/defensive end, said. Buss replaces Jim Bertrand, who was relieved of his duties last spring. Bertrand guided the Pioneers for two seasons. Buss is a 2010 graduate of Woodland Park High School, where he was a three-year varsity letterman. The young coach inherits a team made up of primarily underclassmen. One of the main exceptions is Cain, who started a handful of games at quarterback in 2012. “We have much better leadership this year and a whole lot more pride,” said Cain, who completed 14 of 88 passes for 72 yards and a touchdown last season. “It’s not our coaches’ jobs to get us motivated. We have to do that ourselves.” Cain is a double threat as a runner. He topped the team with 249 yards and five touchdowns last season. Other returning starters include junior tailback Zion Dickerson and junior two-way end Toby Wuellner. “We’re trying to build the program and get everybody better,” Buss said. “This year we might not be the most competitive team, but we’re going to play hard every game. I’m a competitive coach and I’m trying to teach them to be competitive.” The Pioneers had a rough go of things last year. They were 0-8, 0-5 in the eight-man Southern League. They struggled on both sides of the ball, allowing at least 50 points in every game, while scoring an average of just 14 points per game. “It’s a speed game,” Buss said of eight-man football. “You have to go outside the tackles to be successful.” Other teams in the eight-man Southern League are Swink, Fowler, Manzanola, Hoehne and McClave. The Pioneers open their season at home this Saturday against Elbert in a 1 p.m. start at Dial Field. “This team is ready to go and compete,” Buss said.

two RBIs and four runs scored. Suggs led off the bottom of the first inning against Conifer with a solo home run. She also belted a solo homer in the bottom of the second.

“It’s awful nice to get that leadoff hitter on base, much less hit the ball out of the park,” Huntington said. “ Four other Panthers players had three hits apiece in the two games; Trichell (RBI and three runs), junior Brenna Peters (three RBIs, double), senior Natalie Diviney (three runs, triple) and sophomore Morgan Suggs (three RBIs, two runs). Senior Rebecca Roulette had two hits, three RBIs and two runs scored.

Woodland Park was active on the base paths, stealing 14 bases in 15 attempts, including a team-high four each from Trichell and Comer. Woodland Park plays at Palmer Ridge today at 4 p.m. The Panthers host Air Academy Thursday at 4 p.m. Woodland Park begins Class 4A Metro League action on Sept. 3 (the day after Labor Day) when it hosts Sierra. The Panthers play at Coronado on Sept. 5.

n Panthers ready to kick the ball around

6-2

Woodland Park looking for goals, victories this fall By Danny Summers

Dsummers@ourcoloradonews.com With just three combined victories the last two seasons, the Woodland Park High School boys’ soccer team has a lot of room for improvement. And while Panthers players and coaches aren’t talking state championship, they do believe that a playoff berth could be an attainable goal. “At this point it’s hard to say,” said Bryan Cosgriff, Woodland Park senior goalkeeper. “I feel that this year we have a much stronger team. We’re a lot closer this year. We’ll be able to work much better together. We’ll see how the season progresses.” The Panthers’ Achilles heel last season was their inability to score on a consistent basis. They had just 79 shots on goal and scored just six goals by six different players, while posting a 1-13-1 record. The victory was a forfeit win over Wasson, which closed its doors last spring. “Our play in the season will be determined by our practices now and how we grow as a team,” said junior midfielder Dakota Herman, who scored a goal in 2012. Herman, senior Chase Fish and sophomores Cody Stroup and Nick McMorris will be counted on to provide offensive opportunities. “Really everyone on top. If we can work together as a team we’ll gain more confidence in everything we do,” Fish said. Woodland Park coach Andrew Pappadakis was pleased with the style of soccer his club played. “Last year we would play very good soccer for about 10 minutes,” Pappadakis said. “We’d be pretty solid the rest of the game. But we just couldn’t finish on offense, and too many times we let the other team get by us.” Woodland Park allowed 74 goals, a respectable average of about five per game. Pappadakis is proud of this group. He knows his team will be competitive in every game. Whether they score enough goals to win is another story. “We will make playoffs a goal to shoot for this season,” he said. “I expect to score. I expect we will play a lot of close games.” Among the other players who are expected to see time this year are seniors Josh Longoria, Austin Weatherford, Brennan Arndt, Abraham Adair, Austin Hunt

The Woodland Park boys soccer team should be much improved this season. Leading the way for the Panthers are: (from front to back) Bryan Cosgriff, Cody Stroup, Chase Fish and Dakota Herman.

at Conifer. Their home opener is set for Sept. 7 against Manitou Springs in a noon start on the school’s football field. Woodland Park plays in the Class 4A

Europeans dominate in Colorado U.S. team loses Solheim Cup for first time on American soil By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com It was a historic day on Aug. 18 at Colorado Golf Club, but it didn’t involve a miracle on the greens. Team Europe retained the Solheim Cup with an 18-10 victory over the United States and won for the first time in seven events played in America. The win marked the first time a team from Europe has won back-to-back Cups and the margin of victory was the largest in the history of the event, which began in 1990. The United States went into the final day staring at a substantial five-point deficit. The Americans could not pull off a miracle comeback as the Europeans won 7½-4½ in the 12 singles matches played on Aug. 18. There were five singles matches that were halved, the most in history. “We took it to them and they couldn’t answer,” said Europe’s Suzann Pettersen who resides in Oslo, Norway. Pettersen was right. Team Europe played superior golf and putted much better on the quick greens. “They played some great golf this week and really deserved to win,” said U.S. captain Meg Mallon. “I give credit to them, they played well, had a hole-in-one (Anna Nordqvist on Aug. 17), a chip-in and we just didn’t have putts drop for us. The team gave it their all. I love my team. “This (Solheim Cup) is the greatest show in women’s golf. The way we played 16, 17, and 18 is what made the difference. It wasn’t for the lack of preparation because we played the golf course quite a bit. So it wasn’t like a surprise for us. It was just a matter of dropping putts on those holes and unfortunately it was the Europeans.” Over the last three holes, the Europeans held a 17-10 edge in holes won. “We just did not make the putts,” added Mallon. “I saw more putts go over the hole on our side. It wasn’t for lack of not having good rolls. We just didn’t make them. With such a young team (six European Solheim rookies) with nothing to lose, it just seemed like they were a bit looser, they were making more putts and we were not. And that’s what it came down to.” The Europeans wrapped up their second consecutive Cup victory on the 18th hole in the fifth singles match when Caroline Hedwall, a captain’s pick from Sweden who won a crucial half point to secure Team Europe’s victory over the United States two years ago

Overcome with disappointment, Michelle Wei drops to the green after missing a putt on the 18th green. Wie was defeated by Swede Caroline Hedwall, who sunk a putt on the same hole to ensure that Europe would retain the Solheim Cup. Photo by Deborah Grigsby in Ireland, once again delivered the clinching blow. She defeated Michelle Wie, 1 up, after coming back from a 56-minute lightning delay, with a 4½-foot birdie on the final hole. There were still seven matches left to be completed and all the Americans could do was play for pride. “I just can’t tell you how proud I am of all the players,” said European captain Liselotte Neuman. “They really played well. They just played tremendous golf.” Hedwall won all five of the matches she played becoming the first player in Solheim Cup to do so in a single tournament. “I don’t know what to say,” said Hedwall, 24. “It’s unbelievable. We knew we could win here. I was really pumped up on 17 when they blew the horn (for the lightning delay). I went in and gave a little talk to myself and I went out there and I was just as pumped up as I was before.” Stacy Lewis and Sweden’s Anna Nordqvist had the honors as the first twosome to tee off and wound up halving an up-anddown match. “I was hitting good putts, they were just

lipping out,” said Lewis. “That’s golf for you. You have to stay patient, stay positive. I hit a lot of really good shots. I felt fortunate to get a halve.” Charley Hull, the 17-year-old from Kettering, England, who is the youngest player in Solheim Cup history, picked up a point for Team Europe with a 5-and-4 win over Paula Creamer. “After the first day, I really got used to the golf course and I just relaxed and made quite a few birdies over the last two days,” said Hull who went 2-1-0 in her Solheim debut. “I really didn’t feel nervous. Because this is how I always look at golf, I’m not going to die if I miss it. Just hit it and find it and hit it again.” Creamer, one of America’s top players, didn’t have much positive to say. “I just didn’t bring it,” she admitted. “The Solheim Cup brings the best and worst out of you.” Europe’s Carlota Ciganda whipped Morgan Pressel, 4 and 2, to set the stage for Hedwall’s decisive win. Team USA trailed the Europeans the entire three days of the competition, falling

behind 5-3 after Foursomes and Four-ball on the opening day. The Americans closed to within 6½-5½ after the Foursomes Aug. 17, but disaster struck when the Europeans swept all four best-ball matches in the afternoon. The U.S. played well at times but not good enough. The Europeans made most of the big shots and big putts. The Americans had myriad putts roll inches past the cup or lip out. “Obviously, yesterday (Aug. 17) afternoon hurt us a lot,” said Lewis. “They holed putts when they needed to and hit the shots. There’s always pressure to win, whether we won it two years ago, whether we didn’t, whether we’re home, whether we are away. They’re (Europeans) getting better every year and they’re making this (Solheim Cup) what it should be. It’s good for the event.” The U.S. still leads the Solheim Cup alltime standings, 8-5, with the 2015 Solheim Cup scheduled to be played in St. Leon-Rot, Germany. “We have two years to get ready for Germany and we’re going to get that Cup back,” said Wie.
