Weather wreaks havoc on area Businesses impacted by floods, road closures By Jenette DaPolito Special to Courier
While the summer was enjoyable, it definitely has had its challenges. The flooding, mud slides and road closures over the past few months have wreaked havoc on all local residents. Our community as a whole has been affected, virtually being turned upside down. What has been the effect on local businesses? The community thrives on tourism and much of that tourism comes from Colorado Springs by way of Ute Pass. Each business is affected differently, depending on their location, what they offer and what their hours are. Adele Faber, the owner of Joanie’s Deli, had positive words to say, “Our business has not been adversely affected by the flooding, I think it’s because we serve breakfast and lunch and people have been concerned about flooding in the afternoon. Also, people are stuck up here, so when the pass has been closed during the day people need a place to go and hang out and so, we’re one of the places they go. If there is any light in that tunnel, this is it.” Of course, tourists aren’t the only ones who support the community. Adele expressed her appreciation for locals saying,

Photo courtesy of Jenette DaPolito “We have a lot of customers who live up here, who are regular customers, and they support us. And that is good for us.” Renae Trichell, the owner of Brenda’s Boutique, described the mixed effects of the road closures on her business saying,
“Good and bad, of course I can see the drop off in the afternoon when people want to get back to Colorado Springs. And then sometimes during the day they’re stuck here so they come in and that’s a good thing. They may not buy anything
but at least they’ve stopped in, they now know the store is here. People have said ‘we almost didn’t come because of the flooding.’” The Dinosaur Museum, which is tied largely to tourists coming and going, has certainly faced a lack of business because of the closures of major tourist routes. “We’ve been a lot lower than we normally are as far as business goes. We are hurting on account of the flooding and fires,” said John Daigle, an employee at the museum. Cascade has been greatly affected by flooding and road closures one business that has been affected repeatedly over the past several months is the Wines of Colorado. This restaurant and winery even offers its guests creekside dining. Marv Parliament who owns the restaurant holds an admirable anxiety-free view of the flooding. “Its been an impact on our business but we’re still hanging in there. Its a natural problem and we can’t do much about it. We do get quite a bit of business when the road is closed, so that helps. But people are hesitant to come up the pass with threats of flooding and threats of road closure, so hopefully its about over. We have to be optimistic.” Clearly, impacts on local businesses have been significant. Whether the effects are good or bad business owners portray a positive outlook. Certainly optimism on the part of all residents is crucial to get through a trying time for the community.

Business owners share secrets of success Value and reward good employees a point in round-table talk By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews.com Be nice, return phone calls, open the doors, welcome change, value and reward good employees. In a roundtable discussion Sept. 11, 26 Teller County business owners shared ideas on how to improve the bottom line. All agreed that adapting to change is the key to survival. “Now that things are coming back around we’re seeing new opportunities, finding the right ways to take advantage of those and trying to enhance our company within its industry,” said Tanner Coy of Tweeds Fine Furnishings. Andy Jacobson, owner of Andy’s Plumbing, said he gets discouraged by customers who take the easier, shorter route to saving money, rather than adopting a long-range view. “We’re trying to open their eyes to a little more quality, instead of buying something that only lasts three months,” he said. In a small town, the successful business becomes part of the culture. “We want to remain a community bank, know everybody by a first-name basis,” said Drew Austin, mortgage professional at Peoples National Bank. “Our customers like the coffee, the cookies. We try to stay away from that big-bank mentality.” Austin, who is new to Woodland Park, commented on the roundtable sponsored by the Greater Woodland Park Chamber of Commerce. “You don’t have chambers like this in the city; that’s been a big eye-opener for a new person in town,” he said. Dean Buysee, who with his wife, Kathy,
Jan Cummer, owner of Vintage Vines, Staircase Gallery and Curves, advises Woodland Park business owners to be open when they say they will. Cummer was one of 26 proprietors who attended the Business Roundtable Discussion Sept. 11. The next day, as flooding occurred all around the area, Cummer kept her word about being open. Photo by Pat Hill own the Edgewood Inn, expressed concern about the frequent closures of U.S. 24 because of the recent heavy rainstorms. After adding an area for wedding receptions and family reunions, the Buysses are crossing their fingers about the weather. On the other hand, the couple is enjoying another aspect of the road closures, welcoming guests who decide to make a holiday out of the inconvenience. When it comes to satisfying the customer, the owners of Ace Electric responds to all requests for service. “We go anywhere, to the top of Pikes Peak or anywhere in the winter time, even if driveways are straight up,” said Lisa Baker, who with her husband, Mark, owns the business. As she has in the past, Jan Cummer,

owner of Vintage Vines, Staircase Gallery and Curves, repeats her mantra of be open, be open. “Every Monday I hear ‘you’re the only one open,’” she said. “I don’t know what it is about Mondays, restaurants close; even if you just get one person who comes in and looks, they’re in your store.” Cummer, too, has adapted to customer demand, adding new clothes, accessories and wine tastings, along with the consignment items. “The store is not the same as it was two years ago – you have to listen to what people are asking for and accommodate that,” she said. Keep up with technological changes and take the blinders off, said Jerry Musselman, an advisor with SCORE for clients in El Paso
and Teller counties. “I have two clients who want to open a liquor store. There’s a good possibility that grocery stores are going to be able to sell hard liquor,” he said. “We try to caution our clients to be aware of what’s going on around them. As well, find a unique corner that only you offer.” Jeff Peck follows that advice. “I do wildfire-mitigation assessment,” said Peck, who recently opened a home-inspection business. No matter what technology brings to commerce, the old-fashioned way of advertising is still around. “I’m amazed at how many people don’t have business cards” said Lenore Hotchkiss. realtor. Along with working across cultural lines, with clients in China as well as the United States, Susan Wong, partner in a graphicdesign business, said she continually learns something new from the artists who work for the company. In a discussion among the owners about how difficult it is to find good help, Musselman added another thought. “Part of the problem, I think, is that everybody is trying to get more for less,” he said, referring to the employer who runs a business shorthanded. On a twist of what Jacobson said about buying quality products, Musselman highlighted the value of quality employees. “We’ve proven time and again that, if you’re going to pay an employee $8 an hour, more than likely they’re going to walk,” he said. While it’s okay to initially pay a low wage, Musselman advises giving the good employee incremental raises. “It’s cheaper to have one $20 employee than it is one $10 employee. That person is representing you and it’s worth it.” While it may run the costs up, Musselman said, in the long run, good employees are vital to the success of a business. “They’re going to generate more business. So we’re trying to change that mentality, get away from the cost of the employee.”

Body recovered from Fountain Creek Man, 54, found near Nevada and Las Vegas streets identified By Rob Carrigan
rcarrigan@ourcoloradonews.com The Colorado Springs Police Department noticed what appeared to be a body in the water near Nevada and Las Vegas streets at 4:15 a.m. on Sept. 12, while they conducted flood patrols
in the area. The police notified the Colorado Springs Fire Department Heavy Rescue Team at 4:19 a.m. to respond to the scene. The team recovered the remains of an unidentified adult male at 4:55 a.m. The El Paso County Coroner’s Office completed an autopsy and has identified the man as Danny Davis, 54. Davis’ next of kin have been notified. “No other information is available,” said a re-
lease from CSPD Thursday afternoon. Flood patrol crews from Colorado Springs Police, Fire and Public Works worked throughout the night to monitor conditions and respond to potential flooding along the Westside of Colorado Springs. Citizens are encouraged to stay alert to news and weather alerts; avoid ditches, flooded and low-lying areas. More information will be released as it becomes available, reports said.
President approves disaster assistance for Colorado President Barack Obama approved a request from Gov. John Hickenlooper for federal disaster assistance related to the flooding in Boulder, El Paso and Larimer counties. The Federal Emergency Management Agency and Colorado Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management announced Sunday that 12 additional counties have been added to the September 12, 2013, presidential emergency disaster declaration for the Colorado flooding in Boulder, El Paso and Larimer counties.
The additional counties include Adams, Arapahoe, Broomfield, Clear Creek, Denver, Fremont, Jefferson, Morgan, Logan, Pueblo, Washington and Weld counties. Emergency assistance is designed to supplement state and local efforts to provide life-saving and lifesustaining measures to areas affected by the severe storms, flooding, landslides and mudslides. Direct federal assistance includes a range of assistance undertaken by federal partners, including urban search and rescue teams, air operations, food, water, cots, gen-

erators, and emergency flood control measures. In a separate action on Saturday, Sept. 14, President Barack Obama also declared a major disaster declaration for Boulder County. The President’s declaration makes federal assistance available to individuals in Boulder County for temporary housing and home repairs, low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses, and other programs to help individuals and business owners in their recovery. FEMA’s mission is to support our citizens and first responders to ensure that as a nation we work together to build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards.
“The Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency is authorized to provide appropriate assistance for required emergency measures, authorized under Title V of the Stafford Act, to save lives and to protect property and public health and safety, or to lessen or avert the threat of a catastrophe in the designated areas,” a notice to the Governor’s office said. The disaster declaration triggers the release of federal funds to help with emergency protective measures. Additional support may be made available at a later date when damage assessment can be done. – Special to Courier

Zombies coming to Fox Run Regional Park El Paso County Parks showcase emergency preparedeness event By Danny Summers
Dsummers@ourcoloradonews.com If you are a zombie, ever played one on television, or aspire to be a zombie, then Fox Run Regional Park is where you’ll want to be on Sept. 28. That’s when El Paso County Parks will hold “Be Prepared…Don’t Be A Zombie” 5K and 3K Zombie Run. The organizers plan to hold the event annually. “The first time out we should expect around 200 people,” said Joel Quevillon, El Paso County public information officer. “We already have more than 100 people signed up. It’s open to people of all abilities.” The event is more than just an excuse for zombies to gather in a beautiful wooded area of the county. Organizers are hoping to showcase the need for all residents to develop their own family and workplace emergency preparedness plans. Two devastating fires – Waldo Canyon and Black Forest – occurred less than 365 days apart and destroyed nearly 850 homes and charred 30,000 acres in the Colorado Springs area. In addition the subsequent flash flooding this summer off the burn scars has brought emergency preparedness clearly into focus our community. “The ‘Don’t be a Zombie’ run is a fun way to provide educational information to the public and showcase the value of being prepared,” Quevillon said. “These types of races are happening all over the country. We want to use it as a way to increase people’s awareness.” The Zombie Run consists of two types of events; a traditional 5K (though participants can modify their traditional running apparel to dress as zombies) and a 3K Zombie Run, where participants will be chased by zombies attempting to avoid zombies. The runners in the 3K race will wear “life flags;” similar to those in flag football. The zombies will try to steal the flags, but runners who lose both flags will get a chance to answer an

who are casual runners and long-time serious runners to come together for a great cause.” Pre-registration is required for participants by going to http://dontbeazombie2013.com.

P Women, liquor and the local option opinions / yours and ours
The “liquor question” was considered early in most of the Rocky Mountain West, by some accounts, because of the political power of various women’s movements in the region. Groups like the Anti-Saloon League and the Women’s Christian Temperance Union pushed for voluntarily abstaining from the demon “John Barleycorn,” but organization’s like Prohibition Party sought direct legislation. In Colorado, the anti-liquor forces couldn’t universally agree on tactics. Local option laws, in place in some of the state’s communities continuously since the 1880s, showed a wide range of ideas. “The town was full of idle and vicious men, driftwood from railroad and ditch camps, irresponsible creatures, without home or friends who hung about the saloons and brothels,” according to Ansel Watrous’ “History of Larimer County.” “With an increase in crime and arson,” wrote Erin Udell in a recent article in the Rocky Mountain Collegian. “The city kept raising liquor license prices until they reached $1,000 from the original $300. Eventually in 1884, the Fort Collins city council took its first stab at prohibition, making the sale and consumption of alcohol illegal.” Udell says fines for distributing alcohol were lower than the original liquor license prices and the city lost money, so it reinstated the sale of alcohol. By that time, Christian temperance
movements had become prominent in the West, placing added pressure on city officials to reinstate prohibition. “In 1895, many Fort Collins residents got their wish when Frederick R. Baker, a known advocate for the temperance movement, became mayor and put prohibition in effect the next year, 24 years before the nation-wide prohibition of alcohol.” Udell quotes Treloar Bower, the curator of education for the Fort Collins Museum. “Prohibition started earlier here than in other parts of the county most likely because of the greater influence and louder voice possessed by the women of our community, many who were for temperance … in general, women in the West held greater standing in society than back east.” “While Colorado was the second state to give voting rights to women — Wyoming was first — Colorado was first to do so by public referendum. This means the majority of voting men in the state voted to allow women that right,” notes Udell.
“In 1912, an amendment to prevent the manufacture and sale of liquor was submitted to the electorate,” wrote Carl Ubbelohde, Maxine Benson and Duane A. Smith in “A Colorado History.” “The voters defeated the proposal. But that defeat stirred the various groups to common action. Submerging their differences, they sponsored another amendment two years later. This time the voters answered the question of ratification affirmatively, approving an experiment in social engineering, despite a two-to-one rejection of the amendment in Denver. The ‘wet’ forces in the capital city threatened to use the new ‘home rule’ prerogatives of the city to escape the effect o the law, but on Jan 1, 1916, prohibition became the rules in Denver and all of Colorado.” Colorado was joined by six other states, (Iowa, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Arkansas and South Carolina) at that stroke of midnight as 1500 saloons, 500 hotels, restaurant and drugstores stopped selling and 12 beer breweries closed. “As first passed into law, Colorado’s dry period was peppered with loopholes. One was letting residents purchase alcohol for religious and medicinal purposes. Shortly after the law went into effect, the city issued 16,000 prescription forms for doctors, who could prescribe four-ounce doses of liquor for needy patients with each form. One particularly pious congregation was nabbed by authorities for consuming 400 gallons of “sacramental wine” in a month.

Under a later revision, individuals were allowed two pints of wine and 24 quarts of beer each month for personal consumption. Denver city auditor Fred Stackhouse Th noted in 1917 that the city issued 59,339 velop liquor permits to individuals,” wrote Dick Kreck in a 2009 story for The Denver Post. summ W “Another loophole allowed beer and to fin spirits to be imported for personal use from wet states. Starting in 1916, an esti- in th mated $3,000 to $5,000 of whiskey a month was pouring across the Wyoming-Colorado deve If border. One ‘importer’ was nabbed with 2,000 pints of whiskey disguised as olive oil Woo comi and salad dressing,” said Kreck. Th “Despite several failed attempts to open let Denver go its own way on the issue (including a measure to allow beer but not with hard liquor), the city joined the rest of Col- Woo orado when the state officially went dry on also Th Jan. 1, 1916. The state legislature tightened the law in November 1918, banning any park form of alcohol. Citizens were allowed to At keep alcohol in their homes, but since its Thea manufacture and distribution were illegal, Thea it was a moot point — although it made ed op enforcement even more difficult.” cinem With prohibition, many saloons became soon lunch counters and soft drink fountains bran and for the first time, women (other than In those working the saloons) were wela Dis comed. with “Dainty, high-heeled feet rested on the familiar brass rail, accustomed in the past to nothing but a trousered tread,” reported the Rocky Mountain News at the time.
Down the wrong track Air Force Academy I get asked regularly about train robbers. We are close to the range of the wellknown “Hole In The Wall Gang,” which included Sundance and Butch, but they were mainly in Wyoming. There were a few along the Front Range, near Denver. The track south from Denver got steep here and there, which resulted in a slowrunning train. I found a 1902 story in the Cripple Creek newspapers which falls into this category. In early 1902, a train was robbed on the Denver and Rio Grande as it climbed Marshall Pass, west of Salida. The railroad immediately sent out detectives to track down the bad man. The government was involved too, because the loot included mail. Three of these men arrived at a hotel in Victor, Colo., and arrested a single man. He was loaded onto the next train to Colorado Springs. He was allowed to write a letter, which was mailed on the way to the train. The letter was to a gent who lived in Cripple Creek. In it, the fellow said that he had been

He blamed his friend for his arrest. “They seem to think they have one of the party of train robbers,” he said. It seems he had worked for several men in Cripple Creek, and had gone prospecting in the Gunnison district. He had recently returned to Cripple Creek, but told friends he thought he was being followed. He related that he was close to the railroad at the time of the crime. A friend suggested he stay, perhaps in a secluded area, until things cooled off. He must have tried to do that, but the McFarland continues on Page 7

In June, I had the unique honor of writing a story about Air Force Academy Basic Trainees who marched into Jacks Valley. As I stood among the 1,000-plus firstyear trainees, a song played over the loudspeaker that brought the moment home: “Off We Go Into The Wild Blue Yonder.” Having lived in the Pikes Peak region since September 2001, I have grained a greater appreciation for the Academy, as well as all of the dedicated men and women who are based at various military installations in our area. The Academy, of course, is one of three such military facilities of its kind in the United States. The others are Army (established in 1802) in West Point, New York, and Navy (established in 1845) in Annapolis, Maryland. The Air Force Academy is by far the youngest of the three service academies. It wasn’t established until 1950 and ground wasn’t broken for the construction of buildings on the current site until 1954. The first graduating class was 1959. But what many people don’t know is that the actual Air Force didn’t even exist until the National Security Act of 1947. The legislation was introduced in July of that year. Two months later, September 18, 1947 (66 years ago today), the Air Force was officially born as a separate military service. Colorado Springs wasn’t immediately selected as the site of the new Academy. The original 582 proposed sites were cut down to three - Alton, Illinois, Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, and Colorado Springs. On June 24, 1954, the Secretary of the Air Force, Harold E. Talbott (more on him below), announced the winning site. The advisory board that considered the sites consisted of some heavy hitters, including Charles Lindbergh, General Carl Spaatz, and Lieutenant General Hubert R. Harmon, who later became the Academy’s first superintendent. Nobody can say for certain, but there’s a good chance that then President Dwight D. Eisenhower had at least some influence over Colorado Springs being chosen as the site. In January 1950, the Service Academy Board, headed by Eisenhower - then president of Columbia University - concluded that the needs of the Air Force could not be met by the two existing U.S. service academies and that an air force academy should be established. Eisenhower spent significant time in Colorado before and after his presidency. He was a frequent visitor to The Broadmoor
and played the golf course several times. It is no coincidence that the Air Force Academy golf course is named in honor of Eisenhower. The early Air Force Academy leadership faced monumental tasks, including the development of an appropriate curriculum, establishment of a faculty, design of a distinctive cadet uniform, as well as oversight of the construction of the permanent site and the creation of a structure for military and flight training. To establish the foundations of the Academy program, officials ultimately drew from sources within the Air Force, West Point and Annapolis. The Academy’s permanent site had not yet been completed when the first class entered, so the 306 cadets from the Class of 1959 were sworn in at a temporary site at Lowry Air Force Base in Denver on July 11, 1955. The Academy’s dedication ceremony took place on that first day and was broadcast live on national television, with the famed Walter Cronkite covering the event. Cronkite, by the way, also was a frequent guest of The Broadmoor. While at Lowry, the cadets were housed in renovated World War II barracks. There were no upper class cadets to train the new cadets, so the Air Force appointed a cadre of Air Training Officers (ATOs) to conduct training. The ATOs were junior officers. Many of them were graduates of West Point, Annapolis and The Citadel (the military college of South Carolina in Charleston established in 1842). Lieutenant general Arnold Braswell was commander of the original four cadet squadrons at the academy 1955 to 1958. Braswell is 87 years old today and resides in Sterling, Virginia. Secretary of the Air Force Harold Talbott was in charge of developing the distinctive uniforms for the cadets. He looked to Hollywood for help. Famed director Cecil B. DeMille (of Ten Summers continues on Page 7

Projects progressing in Woodland Park Downtown Development Authority updates residents on developments
The Woodland Park Downtown Development Authority has had a very busy summer. We hope you like what you see. Read on to find out more about what’s happening in the district.
Development projects
If you’ve been watching the progress on Woodland Hardware, you can see it’s really coming along. This project is underway and hopes to open its doors in February of 2014. Along with Woodland Hardware, the associated Woodland Station Infrastructure Project is also progressing. The improvements will include streets, parking and related public improvements. At the Gold Hill Theatres Expansion, Theatre 3 is now open and construction on Theatre 4 will resume soon with a predicted opening of Nov. 1. Conversion to digital cinema is now complete. We hope you will soon take the family to see a movie in the brand new theatre section. In March of 2013, the DDA entered into a Disposition and Development Agreement with Woodland Park Beer Garden, LLC. at
Woodland Station, Lot 2. The Beer Garden is now open through Oktoberfest as a temporary use; a market test for 2014. The rest of Lot 2 is still to be developed. At the Aug. 6 DDA meeting, the board approved a Redevelopment and Reimbursement Agreement for Trail Ridge Apartments, a 168-unit complex which will include one, two, and three bedroom units. Amenities will include garages, a club house and a pet park. Additionally, the project is located adjacent to the American Discovery Trail.
Tools for business success
The office of Economic & Downtown Development, in cooperation with the Woodland Park Chamber of Commerce, is now offering the Tools for Business Success website with an array of tools for businesses. If you are a business owner, you must take a look at this site. The site can be ac-

Commandments fame) came up with designs that were pleasing to the Air Force and Academy leadership. DeMille’s designs of the cadet parade uniform were ultimately adopted and are still worn by cadets today. On August 29, 1958, the wing of 1,145 cadets moved to the Academy’s present site. The first graduation class was commissioned less than a year later on June 3, 1959. The Class of 1959 established important traditions that are still in use today.
That class adopted the Cadet Honor Code and chose the fierce falcon as the Academy’s mascot. In 1957, the Air Force cadets marched in President Eisenhower’s second inauguration parade in Washington, D.C. Not everything was in place when the cadets finally moved into their permanent home. The football stadium, for example, was not constructed until 1962. As a result, Air Force football teams spent their first seven seasons as traveling nomads. The Falcons played their home games at various sites across Colorado. Most games were played at the University of Denver, but several were played in Colorado Springs, Pueblo, and the University of Colorado’s Folsom Field in Boulder.

age boys fret about the inadequacy of their builds. Here are some suggestions gleaned from numerous websites to help parents foster a healthy body image in their child. Model a healthy relationship with food. Separate food from feelings and discourage dieting. Teach your children that all foods provide nutrition although some provide more than others. Also, don’t use food as a punishment or reward. Stress the importance of inner beauty rather than looks. Children need to realize that their physical appearance is only one part of who they are. Help your child develop immunity to the steady stream of media messages touting the perfect male and female looks and body. Teach your youngsters that nobody looks as good as the kids in Teen Vogue without digital enhancement. Instill in your children a respect for different body sizes and types. They need to learn to avoid stereotypes and realize that fat does not mean ugly or lazy anymore than thin is synonymous with smart and beautiful. And finally, don’t be overly critical of their appearance or your own. You are your child’s most important role model.

MAIN STREET’S FOUR POINTS
Body image for children McFarland is a learned behavior Here we are a month into the new school year and the season of adolescent peer scrutiny is well underway. I thought it might be pertinent to revisit the 1998 headline of a Harvard Medical School research report, which read – “Sharp Rise in Eating Disorders in Fiji follows arrival of TV.” At the time, this was startling news for an island society that traditionally prefers robust shapes for both men and women and considers “going thin” a reflection of a social problem. The Harvard research team began the study in 1995, immediately after the introduction of TV on Fiji and at that time only 3 percent of teenaged girls reported vomiting to control weight. In a follow-up 1998 survey, just 38 months after the influx of Western culture and values via television, 15 percent of adolescent girls admitted they had vomited to control their weight. Researchers reported that 74 percent of Fijian girls felt “too fat” and 62 percent of confessed to dieting in the past month. As one girl in the study put it, “We see teenagers on TV that are slim, very tall and cute. We want to look like that.” The Fijian girls had fallen prey to the American cultural phenomena known as “Looksism.” From magazines to the big screen to television, the societal message is clear … you can never be “too thin or too cute.” The media sends a powerful message that outward appearance is somehow a reflection of inner quality and worth, which has created a body image crises for American youth. This is an area of concern because body image disturbances are often a precursor to eating disorders. It is now believed that a person’s body image is determined by age 6. A U.S. Department of Health and Human Services task force reports that 80 percent of girls in third through sixth grades have negative feelings about their bodies and teen-

Pastor emphasizes biblical relevance Allen believes strong faith can overcome odds By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews.com The new pastor at High View Baptist Church loves a good story. With the Bible as inspiration, Steve Allen weaves a narrative with villains and heroes. “Right now I’m preaching through the book of Philippians. I call it the happiest book in the Bible because Paul talks about joy over and over,” Allen said. “But it’s written in a very difficult circumstance in his life; he’s writing in prison in Rome.” Paul’s joy is not dependent on circumstances but on his faith in Jesus, Allen said. “We’re called to be different, to follow Christ in the Christian life,” he said. “Even though we go through difficult times, experience pain and struggles in our life, we can still be joyful because of Christ in our life, our fellowship with other believers.” In seeking the position with the High View congregation, Allen was mindful of the serendipitous connection with the church in Woodland Park. “My father-in-law, a pastor in southeast Texas, led a group of volunteer Christian builders for 36 years, going all over the country helping to build churches,” Allen said. “In 1993, they helped build this church, so that was the first time I’d ever heard of Woodland Park. I never thought that, 20 years later, I’d be the pastor.”
The As
Steve Allen is the new pastor at High View Baptist Church in Woodland Park. Photo by Pat Hill Allen’s pastor experience includes several years as the associate pastor of a Baptist church in Pueblo. At High View, music is a vital part of the Sunday service. “We do a blended mixture of hymns and contemporary music, with a bass guitar, electric guitar, piano, keyboard
and drums,” he said. The piano allows the church to hold the series of concerts performed by the Ute Pass Chamber Players. The next one, to be held Oct. 27, is a fundraiser for Teller Senior Coalition. High View is part of the national Southern Baptist Convention; the Woodland Park congregation has about 100 members, a cross-section of people of all ages, Allen said. “I think this is one of the friendliest churches I’ve ever seen,” he said. Introducing himself to the congregation,
Allen revealed a flaw as well as a sense of humor. “I told our church that I’m not perfect; if you’re perfect, you probably need to find another church, because you’re going to mess us up,” he said. “Nobody’s perfect and that’s OK.” An avid fly fisherman, evidenced by the photos on the wall of Allen and his catches, the new role fits his lifestyle. “I’ve been coming up here for years to fish in Deckers and 11 Mile Canyon,” he said. Allen and his wife, Beverly, who teaches English as a second language in the RE-2 School District, have two adult children.

Greater Woodland Park Chamber of Commerce. “You can tell by the flow of traffic on the highway where they’re probably headed.” The aspen is the quintessential Colorado tree. The month of September is the ideal time to witness the changing of the leaves. The color lasts only about a week in most places. It is difficult to predict when exactly the leaves will turn in any given location. Because of the high elevation and other climate factors in Teller County, the aspen leaves – especially along Highway 67 from Divide to Cripple Creek – tend to transform earlier than other parts of the state. This next two weekends (Sept. 21-22 and Sept. 28-29), the 2 Mile High Club – based in Gold Camp – will be giving special Aspen Tours free of charge. Donations are encouraged and much appreciated. The first tour departs from the
Cripple Creek District Museum about 9 a.m. on Saturday. The last tour departs around 4 p.m. Tours are on a first come, first served basis. Reservations are not accepted. “From time to time we have people asking where to go to look at the aspens,” said Julie Matulas, office manager for the Tri-Lakes Chamber of Commerce. “We send them to Woodland Park and tell them to head up to Cripple Creek. That seems to be the most popular place around here.” The 2 Mile High Club (named so because Gold Camp is about 9,500 feet elevation – just below tree line) was formed in 1931 to care for the town’s free-roaming donkey herd. Donations from the Aspen Tours are applied to feed costs and veterinarian services required for the donkeys. The donkeys are believed to be direct descendents of those used by
miners during the region’s gold rush days more than 100 years ago. The Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Co. plays a key role in the Aspen Tours by providing buses, drivers and opens access to private land. The 2 Mile High Club provides tour guides and lots of local history. The buses make several stops, allowing participants photography opportunities not usually available to the public. Aspen viewing in the Pikes Peak region is best along Highway 67 and Teller County 1. But there is also a breathtaking drive along Gold Camp Road from Colorado Springs to Divide. Other viewing areas in southwest Colorado include US 285 from Conifer to Fairplay over Kenosha Pass; US 24 from Minturn through Leadville to Twin Lakes via Colorado 82, and back to Colorado 91 over Fremont Pass to Copper Mountain.

Rock-solid man of the land Fretterd’s passion for stones ignites interest in prospecting By Sonja Oliver
Special to the Courier
F
rom reading books about geology to reading rocks on a landscape, Rich Fretterd has found his passion, turning a young boy’s interest into a lifelong study of geology and a quest to find the rarest of gems. Fretterd, a Woodland Park resident, began his interest in rockhounding at the age of 8 after reading about rocks and geology in the children’s Golden Books series. Originally from Hudson, N.Y., as a child Fretterd found treasure on the East Coast in the form of shell fossils encased in limestone. He now finds treasure on The Weather Channel’s popular “Prospectors,” a reality-based show that focuses on people who must live and work in the element extremes and are dependent on favorable weather conditions. Fretterd, who makes his livelihood as a real-life prospector at locations such as the Tarryall Mountains, Mount Antero and Pikes Peak, battles the elements at high elevations which are prone to harsh weather extremes such as blizzards, hail and cold. As a young man, Fretterd moved out to Colorado where he was employed at the Cripple Creek and Victor Gold Mining Co., working his way from the ground up as a hard-rock underground miner, then running the mine’s milling system and later performing analysis in the geology department. He also worked as a full-time surveyor for a Woodland Park-based land survey company, but was laid off during the 2008 recession. Regarding his abrupt career change, Fretterd says, “I came home; I was not afraid that I got laid off. I got down on my knees and said ‘God, you’ve blessed me with these mining claims. I think it’s time I start doing something with them.’ So I just put my trust in Him. It’s my passion anyway.” Fretterd now has several successful claims in the
Pikes Peak region which have yielded significant findings such as the U.S. record-breaking sized smokey quartz crystal which stands at 4.5 feet in length. The noted crystal (one of two gargantuan smokey quartz finds) came from the “Godsend Claim” situated at the borders of northern Teller and eastern Park counties. That specimen was recently donated by Fretterd to the Colorado Schools of Mining and Engineering. The other specimen found by Fretterd is owned by the Pikes Peak Historical Society Museum in Florissant, Colo. Fretterd’s smokey quartz mining claim, is named the “Godsend” because he said he is “a man of faith.” “And I believed ahead of time, before I ever dug anything, that my heavenly father was going to bless me with good things ... I named it the “Godsend” before all of the good things happened,” Fretterd emphasized, referring to his other successful claims and his involvement with “Prospectors.”
Discovery process
Fretterd’s advice to those interested in looking for rocks and gems is to find books on the geology of the area and to join the local Gem and Mineral Club. “(Gem and mineral clubs) are just full of people who are willing to share their knowledge and information and take you out on field trips where you get hands-on and actually find something,” Fretterd said. “People want to know why I am so successful? I pray ahead of time. I say, ‘God, you’ve created it all. I know you want to bless me because you tell me so in your word and so I’m going to go out to these areas and ask you to just give me a peace when I should slow down.’ That’s my prospecting secret really. I’m in prayer before I ever go out and I know by faith, without seeing it, I know it’s going to happen. I can’t explain that to people unless they’ve really have lived that walk of faith. You’ve got to believe it. The things that you speak – they can be a blessing or a curse. This is what works for me and it’s what I stick with. And so when I speak and I say ‘I am going to find the largest quartz crystal in the National Forest’ – and I said that three years before it happened,”
Large piece of smokey topaz. Fretterd said. “A lot of (prospecting) is being able to read the rocks. I have a gift and I know how to look at rock types and think ‘Hey, there could be something there ... or not,’” Fretterd added. Rock-solid continues on Page 13

What lies underneath Veatch’s students publish poetry By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews.com Inspired by things of the Earth – fossils and gems – the youthful students of Steve Veatch have compiled their award-winning poetry in the booklet “Pikes Peak Pebble Pups and Earth Science Scholars Poetry Chapbook.” Veatch, earth scientist and Teller County resident, awakens curiosity within his students about what lies underneath the Earth’s surface and how it all relates to evolution and the changing dynamics through the centuries. The students are members of the Colorado Springs Mineralogical Society and the Lake George Gem and Mineral Club. The poems were written and illustrated by the authors: Blake Reher, Ciena Higginbotham, Gavin Noller, Reed Noller, Teddy Reeves and Zack Sepulveda. Higginbotham is the only member of the Lake George group
to be included in the book. Below is one of her poems included in the booklet. Gold Rush There was once a fellow from the days of old Who stumbled upon a chunk of gold. He tried to keep quiet but rumor got out; Everyone knew there was gold, no doubt. People everywhere, came from all around Hoping to find their own sparkling mound They knelt in the stream and sifted away Through rock and sand searching everyday They searched and searched and searched for gold Hoping to find some before they are old They persevered and never gave up And soon they had gold in their cap It all started when a fellow
Steve Veatch is justifiably proud of his earth-science scholars who have just published the first volume of “Pebble Pups and Earth Science Scholars Poetry Chapbook.” The authors are members of the Pikes Peak Gem and Mineral Club and the Colorado Springs Mineralogical Society.

“Prospectors” Season 2
Currently, Fretterd is in the process of being filmed for the upcoming second season of “Prospectors” which will begin airing this fall. The filming is being done by Denver-based High Noon Entertainment, who also found Fretterd by word-of-mouth through the relatively small community of prospectors, rockhounds and geologists. Although the reality series focuses on weather extremes, Fretterd is especially excited about sharing the rediscovery of a mine that has yielded an extremely rare pink topaz, completing three years of research. Fretterd and his girlfriend, Jean Cowman, made the find on Dec. 8, eight days before his birthday. “I’ve been told (the pink topaz specimens) might be the finest in the world,” Fretterd said. Fretterd named his claim the “Agnus Dei,” Latin for “Lamb of God,” and the new pocket yielding the fabulous new topaz is called the “Tribute Pocket,” in honor of the two prospectors whose original discovery location secret was taken with them to their grave. “I spent three years of research trying to figure these guys out and think like a prospector,” Fretterd said. “The show, this season, is going to be better than last season. I know it’s going to exciting to the viewers. What I’m hoping for
Pink topaz from the local mine. Photo by Sonja Oliver this year, what I’m trying to get the message across the Weather Channel is gearing more towards actual prospecting and how it’s done. I (was able) to shoot a feature (showing how prospecting is done), going from point “A” to point “B” and the end result,” Fretterd said.
Words of inspiration Fretterd believes that everyone has a treasure that God has given them and perhaps it’s time for them to do a little prospecting in their own lives to discover that hidden gift or talent. “I believe there are a lot of people who may be unhappy with their employment – a paycheck – and they’re looking at it as a way to pay the bills. In life we are given a chance to get in touch with ourselves, with who we are and what drives us. The thing is to search out your passion, whatever it is. And it will happen, once you search it out and move forward with it and doors will open,” Fretterd said. Fretterd and his pink topaz display was at the Denver Mineral Show at the Merchandise Mart on Sept. 13-15.

With the addition of Brenda Mayfield to the staff at Teller County Public Health, smokers need to take heed. Passionate about halting the effects of smoking, especially on the youth, Mayfield will be a familiar figure around the county. Along with warning about second-hand smoke, Mayfield hopes to prevent others from starting while she helps adults to stop smoking. “I think the biggest thing we’re going to impact is our youth,” Mayfield said. In addition to highlighting the QuitLine, a telephone program with an online component, Mayfield will emphasize the fact that years can be added to a life span for those who quit – or don’t start – smoking. A 20-year resident of Teller County, Mayfield was among the first paid EMTs for Woodland Park ambulance, now Ute Pass Regional Ambulance District. A certified paramedic, Mayfield went on to earn a bachelor’s of science degree in nursing in 2009. Former emergency-department nurse at Memorial Hospital in Colorado Springs, Mayfield has switched career directions

with the move to public health. “I think the tobacco promotion she’s going to be doing was a little bit of a carrot,” said Martha Hubbard, director of public health. “The fact that she is answering our need made her a nice fit. Brenda is passionate about doing prevention instead of intervention.” The department’s renewed focus on tobacco education is the result of a state grant to the county where tobacco use is higher than average, Hubbard said. Mayfield added, “Tobacco causes so many health problems: I don’t think a lot of people realize all of the long-term chronic problems.” Mayfield’s focus is facilitated by the buyin of the community, of the schools, the police department and Build a Generation, an organization dedicated to addressing risk factors for teenagers. “The collaborative effort is going to make the difference, not just one agency,” Mayfield said. “Tobacco is addictive so quitting is not easy. But even just cutting back is a step in the right direction.” When she isn’t speaking about tobacco use, Mayfield will spend one day a week with children in the Early Head Start Program in Cripple Creek. Mayfield and her husband, Bill, have two sons, Matthew, a sophomore at Woodland Park High School, and Kenny, a fifth-grader at Summit Elementary School.
WOODLAND PARK – Pikes Peak Regional Hospital has opened an inpatient sleep study center on the hospital campus. The center offers patients – adults and children – comprehensive diagnostic testing for chronic sleep disorders specifically designed to help restore restful sleep and allow patients to resume a normal lifestyle. “Our goal is to provide patients a personalized approach to diagnosing and then treatment options for their sleep conditions,” said Rodney Bice, chief nursing officer at the hospital. “We want to help diagnose the disorder so patients can return to a productive lifestyle and avoid further health complications which can result from interrupted sleep patterns.” The new center will put more focus on high altitude sleep disorders. “Living at high altitude, especially above 8,000 feet, people tend to experience greater difficulty getting proper sleep,” Bice said. “And those who currently suffer with sleep disorders may experience abnormally low levels of oxygen
and, as a result, experience higher severity of symptoms.” Nationally, an estimated 40 million Americans annually suffer from chronic, long-term sleep disorders. Health issues that result from improper sleep can include serious conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity. Many are unaware, undiagnosed or unconcerned about the serious health consequences. Fortunately, most sleep disorders are readily treatable once they are diagnosed. The sleep center at PPRH can diagnose a broad spectrum of sleep disorders including sleep apnea, narcolepsy and parasomnias such as night seizures, sleep talking and sleep walking. The new center will allow patients to complete their entire sleep evaluation within six to eight hours. Patients will check in for monitoring overnight and leave early the next day. The center is located in a convenient area of the hospital so very few, if any, distractions will prevent patients from getting a restful night’s sleep while they are being monitored. The two sleep study rooms will be monitored from one central location, where technicians can watch patients simultaneously.

State rescues Florissant water New board of directors takes charge By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews.com Sanctioned by the state and besieged with customer complaints about brown tap water, the Florissant Water and Sanitation District is rising above the flood of bad news. With a new board of directors, appointed by the county commissioners, the district appears to be back in the good graces of the state. With $120,000 in state grants, and more to come, the district is receiving technical assistance that has resulted in an improved wastewater facility. “We’ve cleaned up the office as well as
the lagoons,” said Cathy Valdez, the president of the district’s board of directors. The board appointed Larry Waters to operate the drinkingwater system and Henry Cole as the wastewater operator. As a result of these changes, improvements are beginning to show. “They are testing and monitoring the systems,” Valdez said. Bob Faux, a new board member, has been approved as the district’s plant manager. “If we have anything we need to order or get done we call him, and he calls two others to approve the request,” Valdez said. “In the past, things were being bought and money was just going out, there was no paper trail.” In a district cited by the state for its failure to submit dis-
charge-monitoring reports as well as mandated audit reports, the two grants are a result of the new board taking over management. “It’s just great – fantastic,” Valdez said, referring to communication among board members, the operators and the engineering consultant, Adam Sommers. “Our customers are saying that the water quality has been excellent.” Recently the board has discovered discrepancies in the water-meter reading, Valdez said. As a result, the district may unearth additional meters and customers, she added. “It’s great to work with people who are enthused and want to move forward, to do good things, it’s just nice,” Valdez said.
Gun-rights backers drive point home Two recall elections show which side had more passion By Vic Vela
vvela@ourcoloradonews.com The message that was sent by Pueblo and Colorado Springs voters who turned out to defeat two Democratic state lawmakers in separate recall elections was clear: Don’t mess with our guns. There’s no question which side of the gun-control debate was more energized when the votes were cast Sept. 10. The day marked the defeats of Senate President John Morse and Sen. Angela Giron, in historic recall elections that were spurred by their votes on bills aimed at tougher gun-control laws. “I think we simply did not realize the extent to which those who support less firearm regulation... were motivated to get to the polls,” said Bob Loevy, a political scientist at Colorado College. “Those who opposed less firearm regulation felt more strongly than those seeking more firearm regulation.” Morse, of Colorado Springs, lost his Senate District 11 seat
by 255 votes, in an election that drew about 18,000 voters. Morse’s race was close; Giron’s wasn’t. The Pueblo lawmaker lost by more than 4,000 votes, from more than 34,000 that were cast in the Senate District 3 election. “Giron being recalled in a safe Democratic seat — I’ll say the word, shocking,” said Loevy. “I think the size of her defeat and the fact that the president of the Colorado Senate — somebody who has served in that body for seven years, who is widely respected in the state — sends a powerful message.” State Rep. Chris Holbert, R-Parker, said Morse has only himself to blame for the election loss, for insisting on pursuing “citizen-control” gun bills. “I am relieved to see that voters across the political spectrum stood up for their constitutional rights,” said Holbert. “We are elected to represent the people, not to negotiate with those rights. I hope that members of the other party, those who voted for the bills, will think about that.” But Democrats — while they certainly are disappointed with the election results — say it’s
THE MAJOR BAPTISMS OF THE BIBLE
important to keep the results in perspective, considering that the elections were decided by a small percentage of Colorado voters. “This was a very small number of voters that turned out,” said state Sen. Andy Kerr, DLakewood. “They were very passionate, but a small sliver of the total population of each district.” But Loevy doesn’t think it’s possible for the results to be overstated, arguing that the results — which received national attention — could cause Democrats everywhere to think twice about the future pursuit of guncontrol laws. “Each district makes up only 3 percent of the electorate in Colorado, but this election will have a tremendous impact in the state and beyond its boundaries,” he said. Democrats probably didn’t know at the time that gun-control bills that were being passed during this year’s legislative session would result in first-oftheir-kind recall elections. But they knew that the legislation had the potential of putting some Democrats in a tough spot with voters down the road.

Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life…” These words deserve more than a fleeting glance. The Bible testifies that “In him was life, and that life was the light of men” (Jn 14:6; Jn 1:4). His “life” is above all others because he practiced to perfection everything he taught! No one else can claim such authority and supremacy as does Jesus Christ. Do you desire the truth? Do you hunger for “the way” to have the “life” Jesus Christ promises?

Cripple Creek-Victor is ready to run a play against Pikes Peak Christian on Sept. 13. The Pioneers lost 50-0. Photos by Danny Summers
Pioneers’ football team battles through adversity Cripple Creek-Victor loses 50-0 on slick field By Danny Summers
Dsummers@ourcoloradonews.com Cripple Creek-Victor was short-handed in its 8-man football game against Pikes Peak Christian on Sept. 13. But the Pioneers were full of spirit to the last play, despite being on the wrong end of a 50-0 score. “I think overall the guys did a great job,” said first-year Pioneers coach Jordan Buss. “We’re going in the right direction. We have to keep pushing forward; not giving up and staying strong.” CC-V was without the services of several starters who were ineligible due to academic reasons. The Pioneers suited up just 12 players. The majority of those wearing CC-V blue and white never left the field of play. “We had a lot less breathing time on the sideline,” said CC-V quarterback/middle linebacker Scott Cain. “I was lucky. I got several breaks, but Cody (Rice) and Toby (Wuellner) played a lot and didn’t get a lot of breaks.” Cain added that the makeshift lineup may have been a reason for the team’s sloppy play at times. “We had a lot of new guys out this week,” he said. “I’m not going to say it was a catastrophe, but it wasn’t pretty, either.” The score was already lopsided by halftime as Pikes Peak Christian (3-0) rolled to a 30-0 lead. The Eagles pushed it to 44-0 with 3:21 remaining in the third quarter on a 35-yard touchdown run by Michael Braithwaite. Braithwaite’s score initiated the running clock, which occurs in Colorado when a team trails by 40-or-more points at any point in the game. Braithwaite scored the final touchdown of the evening on an 87-yard run with five minutes remaining in the fourth. Offensively, CC-V moved the ball effectively at times, but costly miscues (interceptions, fumbles, turnovers on downs) deep inside Pikes Peak Christian territory kept the Pioneers off the scoreboard. “We have to get the chemistry down,” Cain said. “We had new guys coming in for the first time, like Parker (Theisen) and Dustin (Theisen). This was also my first time playing with David (Burks). The Theisen brothers, along with Burks, are skill position players (mostly slot backs and running backs) who are expected to see a lot of touches. Cain puts the ball in the air more than half of the time (he’s averaged more than 20 attempts a game) the Pioneers are on offense. “We weren’t clicking tonight,” Cain said. “We tried to spread it out, but we just weren’t on the same page.” Wuellner, a tight end, said that he needs to elevate his game. “I know I need to run my routes harder,” Wuellner said. “I think we can bring this together. We just have to work together more as a team.” CC-V runs an up-tempo spread offense with a lot of different formations. Freshman Conner Brown (a 5-3, 122-pound slot back) scored the Pioneers’ only touchdown this season; a 13-yard reception in the season opener against Elbert. “Us being as small as we are we can’t power it up the middle as much as we would like to,” Buss said. “We have to do a lot of off-balanced stuff. Do different formations. Actually make the defenses think.” Despite his team’s 0-2, Buss is encouraged that things

Cripple Creek-Victor quarterback Scott Cain gets the play from the sideline during the Pioneers’ game at Pikes Peak Christian on Sept. 13. will turn around. “If we can take care of the small things and not give up the big plays, things will be different,” he said. “We should absolutely compete and get the scores a little closer.” Pioneers assistant coach Mark Speckman is also encouraged by what he’s seen from his team. “We have a good eight on the field at all times,” Speckman said. “The boys have a good attitude and they’re coming along.” The heavy rains that pounded much of the Teller and El Paso counties last week finally let up on game day. But Pikes Peak Christian’s field was a quagmire. The slick green grass and standing water resembled more of a slip-and-slide. “My shoes have got half the Atlantic Ocean in them,”
Wuellner said with a smile. There were concerns up until Friday morning that the Pioneers might not be able to make it down Ute Pass. Highway 24 had been shut down near Manitou Springs on several occasions last week. The team was prepared to go the long way around - about a two-and-a-half-hour drive through Canon City. Pikes Peak Christian usually plays its home games on Saturday afternoons. But because last Friday was its prom, school officials rented eight sets of construction lights that properly illuminated the field, located near the corner of Flintridge and Vickers. Pikes Peak Christian fund-raised the $1,200 needed to rent the lights. The Pioneers hit the road again this week for a Friday night game at Swink.

Woodland Park athletic teams affected by last week’s heavy rain Volleyball team was unable to get home one night By Danny Summers
Dsummers@ourcoloradonews.com The burn scar created by the Waldo Canyon Fire of 2012 has impacted the Woodland Park High School athletic teams. Last week, Panthers athletic director Michael DeWall spent much of his time on things other than scheduling umpires and making sure there was enough chalk to line the softball field. Instead, he was on the telephone booking hotel rooms, checking weather patterns on the internet and ultimately rescheduling numerous athletic events. “We’ve been dealing with snow for decades; we can plan for that,” Dewall said. “But rarely has rain been an issue.” Flash flooding caused by torrential rainfall meant that a portion of Highway 24 between Manitou Springs and Woodland Park has had to be closed multiple times this summer. Ute Pass was shut down
several times last week, due to concerns of possible flash flooding. That caused numerous Woodland Park athletic events - home and away - to be postponed. “We lost a lot of softball games,” DeWall said. “We’re running out of time to get them in, so they’ll be playing five games this week.” On Sept. 11, Woodland Park’s entire volleyball program (31 players, three coaches and a bus driver) was returning from a match at Vista Peak Prep in Aurora when it got turned away at Cave of the Winds because Ute Pass was closed. Players and coaches went to McDonald’s near 31st Street in Old Colorado City to wait out the storm. But by 9:30 p.m., with Ute Pass still closed for the foreseeable future, DeWall had to make reservations for the team to spend the night at the Comfort Inn in Old Colorado City. “The folks at Comfort Inn did us a solid,” DeWall said. “They gave us a great rate and made sure the kids got breakfast the next morning. “Most of the kids were in their classrooms by 8 a.m.” On Aug. 28, Woodland
Park’s softball team was unable to return home from Monument after heavy rains postponed a game at Palmer Ridge. The team tried to get through the pass in the team van, but the Panthers were turned around. DeWall secured hotel rooms for about a dozen players and coaches players and coaches at the Qualityy Inn and Suites on Garden of the Gods Road in Colorado Springs. Sierra came to Woodland Park to play a softball game on Sept. 3. The game was delayed by lightning. Sierra, concerned that it might not get back down Ute Pass if flash flood warnings were issued, decided to leave town before umpires ruled if the game would be postponed due to the lightning. DeWall hopes that his days of making hotel reservations for Woodland Park athletic teams is over for a while. “Those costs come out of our pockets,” he said. “In the playoffs if you have to travel and stay overnight (the Colorado High School Activities Association) gives you a small stipend. But it’s not much.”
Woodland Park junior infielder Lexie Comer and her teammates will be busy as a result of last week’s rain storms. The Panthers play five games in five days this week. Photo by Danny Summers DeWall added that he completely understands that safety comes first. “All of these road closures and cancellations are not matter of someone or some agency being overly cautious,’ he said. “These are real concerns and we just have to go with the flow.”

Dsummers@ourcoloradonews.com The Woodland Park High School football team improved to 2-1 last week with a 35-14 victory over Harrison. A dominating rushing attack was again the central theme for the Panthers, who piled up 324 yards on 59 attempts. Senior Josh Smith led the way with 120 yards and three touchdowns. Dylan Schaller-Ward had 88 yards on nine carries, while backfield mate Weston Shutts added 52 on 13 attempts. Sophomore quarterback Matt Cox displayed his talents by grinding out 59 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries, while completing 3 of 8 pass attempts for 25 yards and one interception that was returned for a touchdown. “Our kids are starting to get it,” said Woodland Park coach Joe Roskam. “They’re tough. Pumped. Flying to the ball. They’re playing smash-mouth football. We are very physical.” The Panthers led 6-0 following a Smith 9-yard touchdown on Woodland Park’s first possession. But Harrison answered with 14 points in under a minute on a kickoff return and interception return for touchdowns. It was all Woodland Park from there as the Panthers scored three more first-half touchdowns to take a 28-14 halftime lead. Woodland Park cornerback Jamie Ensley gave his squad the lead when he returned an interception 70 yards for a touchdown. Woodland Park is a two-point conversion from being undefeated this season. In Week 2 against Harrison, Roskam went for the victory in overtime against Liberty after his club

Woodland Park senior running back Josh Smith (#26) rushed for a game-high 120 yards and three touchdowns in the Panthers’ 35-14 non-league victory over Harrison on Sept. 13. Photo courtesy of Paul Magnuson scored a touchdown to pull within 28-27. The Panthers failed on the twopoint conversion. “I always go for the win,” Roskam said. “That’s just who I am. I’ll risk losing by 70 to win by 7.” The Panthers have been a dominant running team this season, averaging 322 yards per game on the ground. Smith leads all rushers with 319 yards and four touchdowns. About the only weakness the team has shown to this point, according to Roskam, is in the secondary. “We have to be better at pass defense,” he said. “That’s been our Achilles Heel. Every touchdown we’ve allowed this season is a result of guys giving up big plays.” The Panthers return to Harrison on Friday for a non-league game with Sierra. Roskam coached at Sierra from
2004 through 2010. The Panthers won’t play their first Class 3A Southern League game until Oct. 12 at Mitchell. “I’m closing my eyes to what’s going on down the road,” Roskam said. “Taking it one game at a time and not looking forward.”
