Every business in need of a disaster plan

A COMMUNITY EFFORT

Heading off disaster starts with the paperwork By Norma Engelberg Contributing writer

a collaboration of 22 library systems in Colorado. “With Marmot, it’s not just access to books on the shelves but to e-books and audios, for instance,” said Antonia KrupickaSmith, adult-services librarian. “So it’s going to be an increase in accessibility of resources and materials for all members of our community.” Marmot thrusts the district into a higher realm, at least for this month. “When we moved in here 10 years ago we thought the new library was the ultimate,” Knowles said. “And every year it’s gotten better. And now we’re taking another big step.” With the addition of Krupicka-Smith, the library will be a source of continuing education, with programs in science, technology and healthy living. “We are trying district’s two libraries will have 3 milto bring the community together, to lion items available through Marmot, get people excited about all the new opportunities and resources we have,” she said. As some lament the perceived passage from real books to e-books, Printed on recycled Knowles offers encouragement. “I don’t newsprint. Please think books will ever go away. There’s recycle this copy. nothing that can replace curling up with a good book in front of a fireplace,” she said. “Books are here to stay; we just

If Teller County business owners took only one suggestion away from Business Continuity Planning training offered at the Ute Pass Cultural Center on Oct. 30, it should have been: “Records, records, records.” “I can’t emphasize enough the importance of documentation,” said Steve Steed, director of the county’s Office of Emergency Management. The training session started off with a few words from Teller County Sheriff Mike Ensminger who said business continuity in the face of disaster is vital to the health and wellbeing of Teller County, adding, “I’ve been working with Steve to develop this plan; we have to stay on top of things 100 percent of the time.” Steed, in partnership with Woodland Park Chamber of Commerce President Debbie Miller and Brian Fleer, director of the Woodland Park Office of Economic Development, then introduced the subject of the Teller County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan to the group of about 15 people representing a variety of county businesses and organizations. The creation of a multi-hazard mitigation plan was mandated by the federal government, which required that the plan be updated every five years. County employees recently completed the update and then Steed used the plan’s conclusions and suggestion to create the “Ready Your Business: Business Continuity Planning Guidebook,” a “12-Point Program for Success” that is designed to be an easily updated living document for local business owners. “This isn’t rocket science; it’s common sense,” Steed said. “My goal today is to imbed this thought process into your mindsthat when you develop a business plan you should also consider disaster planning. Ask yourself ‘what happens to my business if there is a disaster or even a government shutdown?’” He pointed out that Teller County has had its share of disasters and near misses. For example, he said the 2012 Waldo Canyon Fire could easily have moved into Teller County instead of El Paso County. He added that even though ultimately went east, its impact on Teller County at the time was huge and that the flooding in the burn scar area that closed U.S. 24 several times this summer is likely to reoccur for the foreseeable future and will continue to impact county businesses. “It’s important for businesses to stay in business,” Steed said. “Staying open offers a lot of opportunities. With the flooding that closed the highway keeping visitors here longer than they planned, you could be asking yourself how you can provide for their needs.” It was after making this point that Steed brought up the importance of record keeping, especially when seeking state or federal disaster assistance. “If you say you had this much loss you’re going to be asked to prove it,” he said. “You’ll need to justify how you came up with your loss estimates.” He suggested piling redundancy on top of redundancy, making hard copies of all important documents because hard copies “are always required when requesting (state or federal) aid,” keeping sets of copies off site as well as in a quick-to-grab Go Bag or box just in case the business is destroyed or has to be evacuated and using

Library throws a party Community welcome to observe 10th anniversary By Pat Hill

welve years after Woodland Park voters said a resounding “yes!” to a comprehensive library, including a funding stream for operations, the staff and board of trustees will observe the library’s 10th anniversary on Nov. 16. “This was a true community effort; the library would not be here without the efforts, input and contributions of everyone in this community,” said Anne Knowles, executive director of the Rampart Library District, which includes the library in Florissant. In the age of e-books and cheap books via the internet, this library remains a vital part of the community. “Our collection has more than doubled and our circulation has skyrocketed,” Knowles said. “We’re at capacity, pretty much, as far as space for our collection.” When it comes to keeping up with trends, the library is on target with 70,000 resources that include e-music, e-magazines and e-movies. “That’s a whole other area that has just opened up in the last few years,” Knowles said. The library also provides computer access, wireless connection and a range of online research data bases. By the end of November, users of the POSTAL ADDRESS

Group seeking public input on walking/biking in the region Staff report The Pikes Peak Area Council of Governments is helping to shape the future of the region’s transportation network for pedestrians, bicyclists and other nonmotorized transportation modes. In collaboration with El Paso County and the cities of Colorado Springs and Woodland Park, the group is in the process of updating the region’s nonmotorized plan. The goal of the plan is to ensure the region’s trail system is well connected, easy to use and well maintained. The project’s success is dependent on input from people who live in the community. PPACG launched a website, www. walkbikeconnect.org, and will conduct a series of public meetings in November. “The website and the public meetings will be a great opportunity to let us know what you think,” says Brian Vitulli, PPACG’s senior transportation planner. “We want to know if it’s too difficult to get around town by foot or bike. How can we make it easier?” The group is seeking input from all people, whether or not they currently use trails. The website allows people to place comments on a map in order to suggest improvements or highlight issues with the current network. The comments will

All four public meetings will have an open house, brief presentations and plenty of opportunity to interact with planners and other enthusiasts. “Nonmotorized really means anything not in a car,” said Vitulli. When asked if that included horses, he laughed. “Yes, if it means getting from point A to point B in the region without a car, even horses.”

Groundbreaking scheduled for Trail Ridge By Pat Hill

phill@ourcoloradonews.com Seven buildings, 168 apartments, landscaping, exercise facilities and a business/ media center, Trail Ridge at Woodland Park features upscale amenities. Another project of the Downtown Development Authority, Trail Ridge is the first of its kind in Teller County. “This project will compare to anything going on in Colorado Springs,” said Brian Fleer, executive director of the city’s economic and downtown development. The city and the DDA will host a groundbreaking ceremony at 10:30 a.m. Nov. 13 to launch the first phase, which is scheduled to open in May. An $18 million project on 9.17 acres, Trail Ridge is south of the veterinary clinic on U.S. 24 and is accessed from Sheridan Street. The apartments are three-story gardenstyle walk-ups with one, two and three bedrooms. The 48 one-bedroom units range from 605-700 square feet; the two bedrooms are 920-to 11,175 square feet and the threebedroom, two-bath units are 1,330 to 1,400 square feet. Each rents for $1 to $1.15 a square foot. The amenities include a 24-hour clubhouse, indoor kitchenette with serving bar, hot tub, outdoor fireside lounge, amphitheatre, landscaping, pet park, children’s playground and car care center. Trail Ridge represents a $1.2 million taxincrement-financing agreement between Woodland Park Associates, LLC, and the DDA. “It’s a classic example of how the DDA can help leverage capital; the DDA aspect of this project was absolutely critical to the decision to come here,” Fleer said. Under the agreement, the company receives a 75 percent return on annual property taxes of $131,600 for the first seven years, 50 percent for the next three years and 25 percent for the last three years. The

Photo by Pat Hill funds are passed through the county treasurer’s office to the DDA. “The city is not able to do those types of things so we are that vehicle,” said Dale Schnitker, DDA chairman of the board. “That was the intent of the DDA since we started — for projects like this. Apartments

like these are what everybody’s been looking for, especially in the downtown area.” Cedarwood developed the complex, TriC is the construction contractor and Riverstone is the management company. “For

multi-family housing, this absolutely sets a new standard for Woodland Park, no question about it,” Fleer said. “I think people will be pleased with the final outcome, the quality and amenities.”

Galvin bids farewell, Menz steps in By Pat Hill

phill@ourcoloradonews.com After nine years as manager of TellerPark Conservation District, Pat Galvin said goodbye to the board of directors, staff and friends at a potluck lunch on Oct. 31. Under her guidance, Teller-Park has risen to one of the Top 10 in the state, a leap from a position in the middle tier of 76 conservation districts. At that time, the district’s main function was to provide grass seed to the community and talk about planting methods. Galvin was the only employee in the part-time position; today there are three part-time employees. Galvin credits the district’s weed-management program for the enhanced recognition and contracts with the Colorado Department of Transportation, the U.S Forest Service, Teller and Park counties and private landowners. For her continuing education, Galvin pays tribute to the district’s board of directors as well as Leon Kot, former manager and current consultant for Natural Resource Conservation Service. “Leon has helped me so much with what I’ve learned,” she said. Along with the land-management and noxious-weed herbicide programs, the district staff forms relationships in both counties. “Of all the jobs I’ve had in my life, this is by far the best,” Galvin said. “The people care about the land and our environment. It’s been a blessing to have been a part of this agricultural community.” Galvin hands over the position to Mary Menz, the district’s education specialist who heads up the junior conservation program. As the manager, Menz contin-

Pictured with Galvin is her replacement, Mary Menz. The two were guests at a potluck lunch Oct. 31.

to landowners in Black Forest,” Menz said. Teller-Park Conservation District was founded in 1942, a result of the Dust Bowl

after the 1930s. Before joining the district, Menz was a technical writer.

Wildlife vehicle collisions increase in winter Wildlife may not have to wrestle with changing the time on their microwave oven but the weather and human clock changes can pose some challenges for animals moving to lower elevations in advance of the coming winter. Colorado Parks and Wildlife is reminding drivers that with dusk arriving earlier, the chances increase for collisions with deer and elk on Colorado’s roads. “November is a dangerous month for motorists and wildlife,” said Colorado Parks and Wildlife Watchable Wildlife Coordinator John Koshak. “Commuters will be driving at dusk when visibility is poor and when wildlife is most active.”

Koshak noted that along with reduced visibility for drivers, deer are also more vulnerable because November is the peak of the mating season, resulting in more mobile, easily distracted animals, he said. He also cautioned drivers to be aware that deer and elk often travel in herds. If you see one animal on the road, generally there s another one coming, Koshak said. During the fall months, large groups of deer and elk will move from high-altitude summer range into low-elevation valleys where they can more readily find food to survive the winter. Those lower valleys are also where many roads and communities are found, increasing the likelihood of hu-

While some collisions may be unavoidable, motorists can reduce the likelihood of an accident by taking the following precautions: Slow down! Driving more slowly increases reaction time and reduces the chance of a collision. Stay alert while driving at dusk and dawn.

Marshal department in GMF? By Pat Hill

phill@ourcoloradonews.com In a town patrolled by a marshal for more than 100 years, days may be numbered for the policing tradition in Green Mountain Falls. As budget time approaches this month, the marshal’s liaison on the board of trustees, Howard Price, is preparing two proposals: one for $120,000 that would retain the department under Police Chief Tim Bradley; and another for $50,000, which would

fund a 30-hour-a-week deputy. According to Price, El Paso County Sheriff Terry Maketa has agreed to provide daily coverage in a sub-station in town. Maketa’s offer is the result of voters’ approving a .23 increase in the sales tax to fund enhanced patrols. The measure is expected to raise $17 million a year for law enforcement. “There will be no Green Mountain Falls’ marshal sitting on U.S. 24,” Price said. Mayor Lorrie Worthey and the board of trustees votes on the initial proposal Nov. 5.

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS

Calling attention to their service Upon reflection, of the veterans I have known, many were not inclined to tell war stories or call attention to their service. Paul Butler was a case in point. When I delivered papers for the Durango Herald as youngster, Paul had me set up a paper tube on the corner of my folk’s property, so he could come down Dunlap Hill to pick up his papers every day on his way to the Pondarosa Restaurant. The family farm on Granath Mesa, north of Dolores, was too far out for most kinds of deliveries. Occasionally, when he needed to make a winter trip, he would have me and my dad go check and make sure things didn’t freeze up or something during his absence. According to his obituary in the Dolores

Star a few years ago, Paul joined the Army in 1941. “He was due to be discharged when Pearl Harbor was bombed. Paul was quickly involved in World War II.” After training in Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana and New York, he shipped out across

the Atlantic with the rest of 45th Thunderbird Division on the Susan B. Anthony, the same outfit as my Uncle “Stub.” “He took part in beachhead landings in Sicily, Anzio Beachhead in Italy, and in France. He was involved in liberating the Dachau Death Camp near the end of the war. For his exemplary service he was awarded the Bronze Star.” After World War II and buying the family farm on Granath Mesa, he married and raised four kids with his wife Marge. He was known as excellent fence builder and a perfectionist at everything he did. He served on the Dolores school board, was a member of the Baptist Church for over 80 years and hiked down and out of the Grand

Canyon more than 50 times. “Paul was concerned citizen and a passionate advocate of causes he believed in. He was patriotic and proudly displayed the American flag,” according to the Star. “He was known for his outspoken, blunt personality. One always knew where he stood on any subject, yet he had a sense of humor and a soft heart.” There were lots of other good deeds that Paul did and many noteworthy accomplishments in his long, full life. But just like many veterans, he really wasn’t inclined to call attention to all of them. We should probably consider that on Nov. 11, and every day for that matter. Remember all who served.

selected and placed aboard a ship to Washington D.C. This unknown soldier was to fill the new “Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.” It was a much hyped and heralded event that received press coverage from coast to coast. Thousands of people flocked to see the body lying in state in the Capitol rotunda. There was a funeral procession down Pennsylvania Avenue. Each state (there were 48 at that time) sent in floral arrangements to adorn the tomb. President Warren G. Harding laid a wreath of flowers on the casket. “Taps” was played. The casket was placed into the tomb at 11 a.m. The president requested that all flags be flown at half-staff. Today, the “Tomb of the Unknowns” - as it is now unofficially known — is found in Arlington National Cemetery. I am fortunate to have visited that tomb four different times in my life. I have been blessed to have my son, Garrison — now

19 — with me on three of those occasions. The “Changing of the Guard” ceremony that takes place every 30 minutes to two hours, regardless of weather. It is a jawdropping ceremony that I highly recommend everyone see at least once in their life. Now back to Veterans Day. The U.S. Congress passed a concurrent resolution on June 4, 1926, requesting that President Calvin Coolidge issue another proclamation to observe Nov. 11 with appropriate ceremonies. On May 13, 1938, a congressional act made the 11th of November in each year a legal holiday. In 1945, World War II veteran Raymond Weeks had the idea to expand Armistice Day to celebrate all veterans, not just those who died in World War I. Weeks led a delegation to General Dwight D. Eisenhower, who supported the idea of National Veterans Day. Weeks led the first national celebration in 1947 in Alabama — his home state — and annually until his death in 1985. President Ronald Reagan honored Weeks at the White House with the Presidential Citizenship Medal in 1982 as the driving force for the national holiday. In 1954, U.S. Representative Ed Rees from Kansas presented a bill establishing the holiday through Congress. President Eisenhower signed the bill into law on May 26 of that year. Congress amended the act a week later,

replacing “Armistice” with “Veterans.” In 1958, two more unidentified American soldiers were laid to rest next to the unknown soldier of World War I. One of the soldiers was killed in World War II, and the other in the Korean War. In 1984, a fourth unknown serviceman was added to the tomb. He had died in the Vietnam War. But in 1998, the identity of the Vietnam War soldier was discovered through DNA testing, and his remains were returned to his family. The crypt reserved for the unknown soldier from the Vietnam War is now empty. Today, the Veterans Day National Committee coordinates all federal ceremonies relating to Veterans Day. Every Nov. 11, a ceremony is held in Arlington National Cemetery, at the “Tomb of the Unknowns.” The president recreates the original event by placing a wreath at the tomb, and “Taps” is played. The Committee coordinates similar ceremonies at regional sites across the country. Sadly, in recent months two veterans of World War II were murdered in senseless acts of violence. Those men escaped death on the battlefield, but could not escape the hands of their killers who hunted and stalked their prey like animals. The next time you find yourself face to face with a veteran, especially one who served on a battlefield, take the time to thank them for their service. Without them, we might not have the liberties we enjoy today.

Veterans Day has a long and storied history Living in a military area, we usually don’t have to stray too far to find a man or woman in uniform. Their dedication to our nation to honor and serve is greatly appreciated. Veterans Day is Nov. 11. It coincides with other holidays such as Armistice Day (celebrated by New Zealand, France, Belgium and Serbia) and Remembrance Day (observed in Commonwealth countries). Veterans Day marks the anniversary of the end of World War I. Major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, when the Armistice with Germany went into effect. Many people confuse Veterans Day with Memorial Day (celebrated the last Monday each May). Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S. military veterans, while Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving. The first Armistice Day, as Veterans Day was known a nearly a century ago, was proclaimed by President Woodrow Wilson for Nov. 11, 1919. On Nov. 11, 1920, England laid to rest an unknown soldier in Westminster Abbey, a way to commemorate their losses in the war. France had carried a similar act the same year at the Arc de Triomphe. On Nov. 11, 1921, the United States followed-up with its own version. An unknown soldier, who had already been laid to rest at a cemetery in Europe, was

Where was the first station? The “Original” Divide; the station on the top of Hayden Divide had little importance before there was a Cripple Creek. The earliest we know of the town is in 1891 when the little station on the Colorado Midland was the north end of the Cripple Creek Toll Road. Florissant had been the jumping off point for people heading into the district. Divide was closer, but until the road was built, there was no way to get there. The Colorado Midland wanted to build south, but it was 1892 before they started south. In 1895, they finally saw the Midland Terminal, a little railroad they had helped get built made it. The Colorado Midland had a depot and it was alone, that is without other structures. When they started building, they used the same station, and a track at the east end of the Colorado Midland’s yards went to Cripple Creek. A fire in the 1890s swept through Divide, and the Midland’s depot was burned down. Other fires also took other buildings in the town. The Midland had only a temporary depot for a while. That changed in 1904 when a new station was built. This station would serve both the Colorado Midland and Midland Terminal. It is the building that is still standing at Divide. The question is, “Where was the first station?” The answer starts with pictures of Divide, which are rare. The Ute Pass Historical society has a few, but most are around 1900. There is a well-known picture of a stage coach at Divide before the Midland Terminal was built. It gives us a look, but a building behind the train is not the depot. There is a second picture of businessmen from Cripple Creek standing at the

depot. This is after Cripple Creek was there, but no Midland Terminal yet. All the other known pictures are after the redo, until now! In the last few years I have looked for pictures of the Colorado Midland and Divide. I got lucky and found undiscovered views of Divide from the early 1890s. I have two fabulous pictures! One clearly shows the CM track and timbers for Cripple Creek and the loading area. The other picture shows the equipment for the graders to build the MT! In it is the depot surrounded by other structures. One thing I spotted was a little building. Using these two pictures I have pieced together information about the location of the depot. Today little of this is visible. I found when searching for the locations of the photographers in both pictures that the land has been graded, and is different. I think I located these spots, using the old pictures I lined up about where the station was. There happens to be a street near that spot. There is a nice, freshly paved parking lot below the sheriff’s office on the grade of the old railroad. Curiously, there are a few trees just west of here, to help locate the spot. This is where I think the depot was originally located.

Mindlessly going through the motions? Do you feel that life is flying by at the speed of light? Have you ever performed a routine task like getting the mail from the mailbox and have no recollection of doing so? Are you living your life on “autopilot,” mindlessly going through each day? The website psychologytoday.com tells the tale of a harried young man who was attending the eclectic electronic arts and music festival in Black Rock City, Nev. known as Burning Man. He came upon a phone booth in the middle of the desert with a sign that said, “Talk to God.” The idea was that God, or someone pretending to be God, would respond to your phone call and ease your pain. The young man picked up the phone and when God answered, he asked, “How can I live more in the moment?” “Breathe,” replied the soothing male voice. “Whenever you feel anxious about your future or your past, just breathe deeply.” Despite being put off by the new age mantra, the young man thought, when

God talks — you listen. As he started focusing on his breathing, the cacophony of self-consciousness and anxiety and the constant buzzing of his mind were silenced and he was in the moment achieving a state of mindfulness. Helpguide.org, a nonprofit that collaborates with Harvard Health Publications, defines mindfulness as the practice of purposely focusing your attention on the present moment and accepting it without judgment. The state of being in the moment is now being examined scientifically and has been found to be a key element in

one’s happiness. The cultivation of mindfulness has its roots in Buddhism but most religions embrace some form of prayer or meditation technique that allows you to divorce yourself from your usual day-to-day worries and preoccupations redirecting your energy toward an appreciation of the moment and a broader perspective on life. We live in a frenetic world where family, professional and social and community commitments fragment our focus. Toss in the distraction of social media and the relentless onslaught of texts, emails and phone calls and it’s not difficult to see why time rushes by unobserved. When we’re at work, we fantasize about being on vacation. When we’re on vacation, we worry about the work piling up on our desk. We fret about the future and lament the past. All the while, the precious moments of the present slip by unnoticed. It’s becoming increasingly common for mindfulness meditation to be combined with psychotherapy and cognitive

behavioral therapy. Both therapies share the common goal of helping people gain control of irrational and self-defeating thoughts. And there are plenty of pragmatic reasons to engage in mindfulness with researchers saying that mindfulness meditation can improve both physical and mental health helping to relieve stress, lower blood pressure, reduce chronic pain and improve sleep. It has also become an important modality in treating depression, substance abuse, couples’ conflicts and eating and anxiety disorders. Tune in next week for the skinny on how you can get started being in the moment on your own.

Art department explores self-expression The Art Corner – CC-V Junior High Arts

This past quarter in our junior high art program we have explored self-expression collage portraits, wheel thrown pottery, school decorative arts, still life and floral drawings, color wheels, positive and negative shapes and more. In our most recent art piece, collaged self-portraits, we created a background that expressed what we enjoy about life. Within our portrait area, instead of drawing our faces, we searched newspapers and filled the space with even more visual pieces of ourselves. As we are stepping into our next quarter, we are beginning a unit on assemblage sculpture that is to create a space

which will visually convey a message or idea to the viewer. Trinkets, beads, magazine pictures and bits of wood will be the main items we will be using to create these spaces. Be sure to watch for our assemblage

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor: We wish to thank Ute Pass Chamber Players for making Woodland Park Senior Citizens Club the recipients of their benefit concert. What a treat for all in attendance! We wish we could apply for this every year; whoever is awarded this opportunity next season is in for a wonderful charitable event. We would also like to thank High View Baptist Church for providing the venue and excellent piano as well as the musicians, Barb Riley-Cunningham, piano; Jay Norman, clarinet; and the Brown Family with all of their diverse instruments. We may not be your next benefit recipient, but we will definitely be in attendance at your upcoming concerts! Pamela J. Argo, activities director, Woodland Park Senior Citizens Club

Dear Editor: Thank you! I can’t thoroughly express how much I have appreciated all your support, cooperation and encouragement that you’ve given me during the past 30 years in my role as site coordinator for the Penrose-St. Francis Mobile Blood Drives

held at Our Lady of the Woods Catholic Church. But it has been 30 years — and I have realized it is time for me to step aside and let someone else have the opportunity to experience and be as touched as I have been by the goodness of so many people who for all these years have been so supportive. The blood drive would not have been nearly as successful as they have been without your supportive promotion and advertising. The drives will continue under Leo Vetter, who has graciously stepped forward to take over the task as site coordinator. I am truly grateful to him and ask your continued support of him and all the efforts he will be making to ensure the blood drives continue. The dates for the 2014 drives are: Jan. 13, March 10, May 12, July 14, Sept. 8 and Nov. 10. He will be contacting you to introduce himself and to ask for your ongoing assistance. I have enjoyed the interactions I’ve had with you and again can’t begin to thank you enough for helping me to have had such a wonderful experience. Sincerely, Anne Kozleski

This past month, CC-V Arts department has explored a variety of methods and processes in which to create our works of art. After we completed our piñatas, we moved onto landscape painting without using blue. We found that by mixing Phalo Green and Dioxide Purple it created a color very similar to blue and gave a calming feel to our paintings. Once our paintings were complete, we created a still life piece by giving ourselves a new method that was outside of our comfort zone. From beginning with

oil pastels to finger painting our way through, without pencils to guide us, it helped us to understand how art can be created in a loose and spontaneous style. Our final piece for the first quarter was a quick study of Harlem Renaissance Art. We applied the philosophy from this time period into our art piece in what we celebrate within ourselves.

Help! I can’t stop this crazy tractor It was a beautiful spring day. Full of promise and pollen, I was out at my inlaws with my husband and my oldest, then 2. My little boy loved to go for rides on my father-in-law’s tractor mower, it was a magical instrument to him, a vehicle that allowed him to see first-hand the grass that was taller than he was and the whole lay of the land. I was nine-and-a-half months pregnant and scheduled to be induced in a week. “You need to learn how to drive one of these,” my father-in-law said, gesturing toward his tractor mowers. Now, everyone knows that I can barely drive a car, let alone some other object with four wheels, a motor and some kind of weird stick shift. There was such glee on his face, I couldn’t say no. I picked the orange one. “This one is really easy to drive,” he said. He showed me the particulars, and I was off. This is easy, I thought. Why was I petrified? You can probably picture me, looking

a lot like Moby Dick, a smug look on my bloated face. Look at me, I’m on a tractor! I took my little boy for a spin and I could see the respect in his eyes. I felt like a pro, next to a NASCAR driver or something. My husband, Max and I went home, and I kept thinking about the next time I would be in command of the orange machine, or “orange crush” as I secretly called it. That fateful Tuesday came. “I’m ready!” I said to my father-in-law. I took my little boy for another spin. The baby in my tummy kicked, and I felt its respect, too.

I stopped and shut off the motor. My son went to join his grandpop on the other, more formidable tractor, the one with the bucket in front. I told them I would be driving around, if they needed me. They went in one direction and I went in the other, unaware of what was to happen next. I turned orange crush around and around. Now how do I stop? Like this? How do I accelerate? Where did the boys go? I can’t see them anymore. Do I pull this stick back to reverse? I headed for the house. I started up a steep hill and felt like I was going to topple over. So I headed back down. There’s a pine tree ahead… Oh, no. How do you stop? Well, I eventually stopped. The pine tree helped me, thank God. My father-in-law came running over to me to see if I was OK. I was fine, but shaky. I apologized for denting his tractor. The rest of the day, my father-in-law

and my husband traded jokes about women drivers. And if that wasn’t enough, they also made jokes about pregnant women drivers. When we went home that evening, I felt fine. Well, as fine as you can feel with something pushing really hard on your bladder. I tried to get some sleep, but felt really uncomfortable the whole night. I blamed the tractor fiasco. If I don’t get sleep, I won’t be fresh to be induced tomorrow. I finally got up at 5 a.m. I had to be at the hospital by 7 a.m. anyhow. Long story short … There was no need to be induced. I was already in labor. Darn tractor. I guess my youngest son’s demeanor, unpredictable and explosive, like that illfated ride on orange crush, comes honestly. Stephanie Ogren is married and has two children. She is employed at Colorado Community Media as the lead editorial page designer and a copy editor.

GALLERY OF GAMES

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) You enjoy the attention early in the week, but it might be a good idea to opt for some privacy by week’s end so that you can have more time to consider an upcoming decision. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) You unearthed some surprising facts. Now you need to consider how to use them to your advantage. Meanwhile, it might be best to keep what you’ve learned secret for now. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) A comment by a colleague piques your curiosity to know more. Best advice: You’ll find people more likely to offer information if you’re discreet when making your inquiries. CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Your energy levels begin to rise by midweek. This allows you to catch up with your heavy workload and still have plenty of get-up-and-go to go out on the town this weekend. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) You’re probably roaring your head off about a perceived slight from a longtime critic. Ignore it. That person might just be trying to goad you into doing something you might later regret. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) The early part of the week is open to spontaneity. Then it’s time to settle into your usual routine to get all your tasks done. A personal situation could require more attention from you. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) A meeting of the minds on a workplace project might well develop into something more personal for Libras looking for romance. Aspects are also favorable for platonic relationships. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A more-positive mood might be difficult to assume in light of a recent problem involving the health of someone special. But by week’s end, your emotional barometer should start to rise. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Look for a changed attitude from a former adversary once he or she realizes you have your colleagues’ full support. Now you can refocus your energies on that workplace project. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) This time, a difference of opinion might not be resolved in your favor. But be patient. It ultimately could all work out to your advantage, as new information begins to develop. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A tug of war develops between the artistic Aquarian’s creative aspect and his or her practical side. Best advice: Prioritize your schedule so you can give appropriate time to both. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) You could be entering a career phase awash with job-related demands. But avoid being swamped by the overflow and, instead, keep treading water as you deal with demands one by one. BORN THIS WEEK: You are an exceptionally loyal person, and you’re respected for your ability to keep the secrets entrusted to you. © 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

A lot of changes going on at the library Change is in the air. Not just with the weather, but also at the Rampart Library District. With so many new things around the corner, let’s take a moment to look at the things that will remain the same for everybody in the Woodland Park and Florissant communities. That is right, the Rampart Library District isn’t just Woodland Park Public Library; it is also Florissant Public Library. This means that with your library card from either Woodland Park or Florissant, you have access to everything either library has to offer. Between both libraries, the Rampart Library District has a location open seven days a week. Although this won’t change, what will change is that you will need to have your library card with you to use our computers and checkout materials. Library cards are free for your first one and $2 for a replacement. The library is also open 24/7 on our website, http://rampart.colibraries.org. This won’t change, but what will change is the look of our website and what our catalog has to offer. With this change there will

be an increased number of materials that you will have access to as well as a greater number of resources. We are hoping that these changes make it easier and quicker to find the information you are wanting. Already if you look around on some of the pages you will find much more information in a design that is easier to navigate. Besides our website we also have a number of social media outlets including Facebook, Twitter, a blog and Pinterest. Take a moment to follow, like, or friend us so that you can be up to date with the latest information right in your own feed. Even with these changes, we at the

Rampart Library District know that we wouldn’t be here without the wonderful communities that we serve. To celebrate the communities and all that the library has become, we will have a 10-year birthday celebration of the Woodland Park Library on Nov. 16 from noon until 3 p.m. This celebration is to recognize all the wonderful things accomplished in the last 10 years and to look forward at all that is to come. The whole family is welcome to help celebrate 10 years in our current Woodland Park building by enjoying music, food and other activities for all. Florissant Public Library will celebrate its 10-year anniversary on April 26, 2014. Although a major event in November, it is not the only upcoming program happening at the library. The Rampart Library District will give back to the community by partnering with the Community Cupboard of Woodland Park to host a Food For Fines program. For two weeks starting Oct. 28 and ending Nov. 9, the Woodland Park Public Library and the Florissant Public Library will accept non-perishable

food with $1 of fines waived for each food item donated. Restrictions do apply, so contact your local branch for more information. The children’s department will also celebrate the release of the latest “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” book on Nov. 5 from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. in Woodland Park. The book clubs in both Woodland Park and Florissant will meet to discuss “Where’d You Go, Bernadette?” by Maria Semple in Woodland Park on Nov. 5 at 10:30 a.m. and “Of Mice and Men” by John Steinbeck in Florissant on Nov. 20 at 10:30 a.m. The Florissant book club will also enjoy the movie based on their book selection following the book discussion. As always, there will be storytime as usual on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 10 a.m. in Woodland Park and 10:30 a.m. in Florissant. The Florissant themes are Nov. 7, teeth; Nov. 14 trains and Nov. 21, turkeys. Also in Florissant on Nov. 9 at 1:30 p.m., there will be a showing of the Youth Summer Drama Clubs production of “Cowgirl Cookie and the Case of the Missing Chocolate Chips.”

Lake George Charter School celebrates its 37th Halloween Fundraising event raises $2,900, draws crowd of 300 By Sonja Oliver

Contributing Writer Halloween can present somewhat of a challenge for rural communities and with Lake George Charter School’s centrality and core foundation for many of the families, the Halloween carnival has been a staple as one of the community’s biggest events of the year. Now in its 37th year, the carnival was held on Saturday, Oct. 26, attracting more than 300 participants and raising $2,900 to go toward school programs. Lion’s Pride, the school’s parent-teacher organization, organizes the festival and uses the money to enhance student’s learning and to pay for extras — items that aren’t covered by the school’s budget. Between raffle ticket sales, food sales and sponsorships, the fundraising effort brought in more than $3,900. According to Lion’s Pride Treasurer Denise Kelly, following $1,000 in expenses for food, candy and children’s prizes, the school netted $2,900. “Everything seemed to go very well, lots of people came and we had lots of volunteers,” Kelly said. The school was decorated with autumn and Halloween themes by volunteers who set up and manned game stations such as a spider web crawl and ring toss, and then passed out candy and prizes. The carnival also featured bingo, a cake walk and a rented bouncy house for children to jump in. Following the scheduled activities, participants waited in the gym for a raffle of gift items, certificates from local businesses and children’s toys purchased for the raffle by Lion’s Pride. In order to make the carnival possible parents, school staff and community volunteers assist with garnering donations from local businesses and received sponsorships and donations from more than 100 local business and individuals. Support for this year’s event came from local businesses from as near as Lake George, Florissant, Divide, Woodland Park, Guffey, Cripple Creek and Victor, and as far away as Colorado Springs and Pueblo.

God’s Message brings Hope, Joy, Love, and Life! “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him” (1 Cor 2:9). The Apostle Paul wrote these words to make plain the fact that it was now possible to know these things, because God has “revealed” it “by his Spirit.” God has spoken through his word – the Bible! If I told you that you also could know “these things,” including all the blessings that can be yours “in Christ,” would you believe it? Would you be interested?

Stilettos and Studs event to raise funds for Habitat By Pat Hill

phill@ourcoloradonews.com After lying dormant for a time, Teller County Habitat for Humanity is bouncing back into the public eye. With Jamie Caperton as the new executive director, Habitat is front and center with Stilettos and Studs on Nov. 16, the high-profile fundraiser that asks celebrants to put on their duds to help build three more townhomes. Caperton, who has more than 30 years of experience with nonprofit organizations, moved from consulting since March to the full-time director’s position in October. “We’ve put together a great team of volunteers to work with us in lots of different avenues, on the job site, as fundraisers and technical help,” she said. Since its inception in 2000, Habitat has built 24 homes; its latest project is Las Casas Townhomes in Woodland Park, which is now in Phase II. In addition to the “Stilettos,” Caperton is promoting the “I Love my Stud,” fundraiser. “We’re selling interior studs in the house; people can decorate them and they become the actual interior studs in the home,” she said. The studs are $100 a piece. To help fund the $75,000 in annual operating costs, which includes Caperton’s salary, Cripple Creek & Victor Mining Co. donated $5,000, which has been matched by Habitat donors. The mine donated the funds under the Heroes for Humanity fundraising project. To help fund construction costs for new projects, the Glove and Hammer Fund offers opportunities for funding partnerships with corporations and private donors. The new funding arms are designed to keep the organization going, as the board decided to close the ReStore in Woodland Park last month. “After a year of being opened, the ReStore just wasn’t turning the dollars we were looking for,” Caperton said. Under Caperton, Habitat is renewing

Jamie Caperton, (seated) executive director of Teller County Habitat for Humanity, and her team of volunteers are organizing the upcoming fundraiser for Habitat, Stilettos and Studs: from left, Kathi Wickizer, Aimee Kahl and Lesley Ludwick. The team includes Cindy Davis, Melinda Truscelli and Renee Bunting. Photo by Pat Hill its efforts at fundraising. “We’re going out talking to people, writing grants and concentrating on that one-on-one ask, getting out into the community,” she said. Caperton, with her husband, Ben, is the former owner of Charitable Treasures, founder of Charitable Treasures Workshop, and owner of The Cellar Door, which will

close this month. The Capertons also founded the annual Vino & Notes Jazz Festival in Woodland Park. With the new position, the Capertons have pledged to carry on the tradition with the proceeds to go to Habitat. Stilettos and Studs begins at 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 16 at Shining Mountain Golf Club.

The gala includes dinner, live music and entertainment. Among the auction items is a donation by the office of Sheriff Mike Ensminger for a weekend at the SWAT demonstrations. Tickets to the fundraiser are $45 for a single and $80 a couple. For more information, call 687-4447.

sprouts Vegetables elevated to new status in Cripple Creek By Pat Hill

phill@ourcoloradonews.com

n the old days, children turned up their noses at such things as spinach or radishes. But at Cresson Elementary School in Cripple Creek, suddenly even kale is cool. Rather than outsmarted, the little children, 3, 4 and 5 years old, are all over it when it comes to healthy eating. Members of 4-H Sprouts, the children play a key role in being responsible for their menus by growing their own food. Sponsored by the Early Head Start program and Colorado State University Extension, the program got a boost from Gary Horton, environmental engineer at the Cripple Creek and Victor Gold Mining Co. From planting vegetable seeds in two greenhouses provided by the city of Cripple Creek and the RE-1 School District, the chil-

dren and their families harvest and then dine on the results of their labor. “One of the things Head Start emphasizes is family involvement,” said Patty Waddle who heads up the Early Childhood Education program, including Head Start, for RE-1. “We do projects together and then have a homecooked family dinner.” Sprouts and their families, up to 30 these days, meet every two weeks at the school. “When kids grow things themselves they’re much more likely to taste, eat and actually enjoy vegetables because it’s something they’ve done themselves,” said Mark Platten, executive director of CSU Extension in Teller County. Waddle and Platten credit Horton for his enthusiasm in launching the program. “I was just interested in teaching kids about vegetables,” Horton said. “I wanted a sustainable project for the school-lunch program.” Horton, along with Platten, Waddle and a host of teachers and parents, help weed and water the gardens. “I wanted to give the kids the foods they grew themselves for the Head Start program,” Horton said.

Youngsters in the 4-H Sprouts program plant vegetables in the greenhouse behind the park and recreation building in Cripple Creek as well as the one at Cresson Elementary School.

The 4-H Sprouts program at Cresson Elementary School combines planting, harvesting and family time. The project is a collaboration of the Early Head Start Program, CSU Extension and Gary Horton, environmental engineer with the Cripple Creek & Victor Mining Co.

Old HigHwAy 24 reOpens

Large chunks of the road disappeared during the massive water rush. Photos by Rob Carrigan

Flood damage closed highway in August

The western Manitou Springs exit off of U,S. Highway 24 suffered severe damage in early August flooding and the death of Teller County man on the roadway prompted the reconsideration of Colorado Department of Transportation protocol for closing the highway through the lower Ute Pass during possible re-ocurrances.

Staff report A half-mile segment of U.S. 24 Business, Manitou Avenue, is open to traffic again after the Colorado Department of Transportation completed a majority of repairs recently. The highway, which connects to U.S. 24 at the west end of Manitou Springs, was closed to traffic on Aug. 9 after severe flooding damaged segments of the roadway, making it unsafe for travel. Two sections were washed out, both about 30 to 40 feet long and around 200 to 300 feet apart. Minor repairs also were required on the Fountain Creek Bridge. The cost was $500,000 to repair the highway. A closure of westbound Manitou Avenue still will be needed for curb and drainage work, most likely next week. Drivers will be able to use Serpentine Drive as the detour. Eastbound traffic will not be affected. About 4,500 vehicles use this segment of U.S. 24 Business daily.

Dori (Jennings) Mekelburg was recently named the 2013 Colorado Master Farm Homemaker. A graduate of Cripple Creek/ Victor High School in 1991, Mekelburg was a member of Teller County’s 4-H program and, in 1986, reigned as queen of the county fair. To qualify for the honor, the recipient must receive at least 51 percent of the family income from agriculture and be nominated by an organization. Mekelburg and her husband, Dick, live in Yuma County where they are partners in a farming and Mekelburg ranch operation. She is a member of the county’s Cattlewomen and represents the organization at the National Western Stock Show’s educational booth. In addition to leading a local 4-H group, Mekelburg participates in community activities and school events. With three teenagers and a 3-year-old, Mekelburg brings multi-tasking to new heights. An accomplished seamstress, Mekelburg is known for her Halloween costumes, Christmas ornaments, wall art and decorative paintings. Along with helping to run the farm, she has gone into business as a party decorator. Recently, she and a sister-in-law converted a house on the ranch to a guest lodge that caters to hunters and other visitors. She does most of the cooking for the guests. Mekelburg received the award Oct. 12 in a ceremony in Pueblo accompanied by her grandmother, Mary Campbell of Guffey. Campbell was honored with the same award in 1969. Mekelburg’s mother, Patti Clarke, grew up on the Campbell ranch.

Four steps to appeal a flood insurance claim Staff report As the November 14 deadline draws near for filing flood damage claims, survivors may have questions or need additional information regarding any determination their insurer might make regarding their claim. If an insurer sends a written denial of the claim or part of a claim, an owner can appeal this determination. To file an appeal, follow these four steps: • Talk with the adjuster first regarding any questions about the claim. • If a satisfactory resolution isn’t reached, get contact information for the adjuster’s supervisor. • If the adjuster’s supervisor can’t resolve the issues, contact the insurance company’s claim representative.Ask the insurance agent or company representative for assistance. • If questions or concerns remain after steps one through three are completed, send a written letter to FEMA within 60 days from the date the denial letter was received from the flood insurer. Address this letter to: FEMA Mitigation Directorate Federal Insurance Administration 1800 South Bell Street Arlington, VA 20598-3010 The letter should be written by the person named on the NFIP policy or by their legal representative. If someone other than the policy owner writes the letter, clearly identify the relationship to the insured. The letter of appeal must contain the following six items: • Policy Number as shown on the NFIP policy declarations page • Policyholder’s name as shown on the NFIP policy declarations page • Property address as shown on the NFIP policy declarations page (not a mailing address) • Contact information — where and how the policyholder can be reached • Complete details of the concerns • Dates of contact and contact details

National parks and the military have strong ties going back to the establishment of Yellowstone as the world’s first national park in 1872. The U.S. cavalry watched over America’s national parks and did double duty, serving as the first park rangers until the National Park Service was created 44

years later. During World War II, many parks were set aside for the training and care of military personnel. Today, dozens of national parks commemorate military battles and achievements. During the fee-free day, Florissant Fossil Beds will offer special ranger guided programs on Nov. 9. 10 a.m. Ranger Guide Hike Along Boulder Creek Trail Join Park Ranger (Air Force Veteran) Scott Harper for a guided hike along the Boulder Creek Trail.

Former coroner piques curiosity Books penned by Reason allow reader to guess how subjects die By Pat Hill

phill@ourcoloradonews.com Tapping into readers’ who-done-it curiosity, Richard Reason II twists and turns his experiences as assistant coroner in Los Angeles and Teller counties in “Murder, Suicide or Natural Causes?” Recently published by iUniverse.com, the book challenges the reader to guess how the victims perished. But, to ease the anguish of not knowing, Reason ends each chapter with the solution by the fictionalized hero, Rex Reedman. “The actual facts and the way the deaths are determined are 100 percent legit,” he said. “I tried to make it different with each chapter, to try to figure out how to fool, or play with, the reader.” With a bank full of cases, some unsolved, such as the death of movie star Natalie Wood, Reason changes the names to protect the innocent. A natural sleuth, Reason is the Sherlock Holmes of death investigations. In Los Angeles, some cases stand out. “The lady had a 9 mm bullet hole in her hand and it matched the one in her forehead,” Reason said. “It meant that she saw who was shooting her, put her hand up to say ‘please stop,’ and they shot right through her hand.” From nailing that one, Reason advanced to solving, or in some cases, remaining perplexed about conclusions by other coroners, particularly about Wood and actors William Holden and John Belushi. “I questioned every single one of them,” he said. Reason, who is a chiropractor during the day, has become a local celebrity with appearances at special events and various

Richard Reason, D.C., is making the rounds of Teller County book clubs and special events to introduce his first book, “Murder, Suicide or Natural Causes?” which asks the reader to guess how the victim died. Photo by Pat Hill books clubs. “Rick’s book is fun because, you, the reader, try to figure out the cause of death,” said Beth McCarl, member of the Afternoon Fiesta Book Club. “The names of people and places have been changed just enough to give clues to actual names.” Reason’s fictional account of the death of Natalie Wood is a hit with the clubs, her death reworked in the book with different

circumstances and names. “The case was re-opened about a year and a half ago,” he said. “There were odd bruises on her body, circumstances that probably weren’t the best to be revealed in public.” The book is the first of a trilogy with twists on Reason’s main theme. “The second book is ‘Murder, Mayhem or Just a Damn Shame,’ about people you don’t

care whether they die,” he said. “You know, the car thief who gets run over by a car.” The third is ‘Death, Disaster or Just a Day Job,’ which is about people who die at work. “You’d be surprised at how many murders and suicides happen at work,” he said. Reason’s “Murder, Suicide or Natural Causes?” is available on any e-book site.

Government Legals

The Colorado Libertarian Party filed suit in Denver District Court recently over the implementation of the new election law and the ensuing patchwork of residency requirements. The El Paso County Clerk and Recorder’s Office was named as a defendant in the suit, along with the Colorado secretary of state and three other county clerk offices. The crux of the suit is that the recently enacted HB13-1303 permitted sameday voter registration but did not change long-established residency requirements to vote in certain elections. Colorado law requires non-property owners to reside in a special district for at least 30 days in order to vote in an election for that special district. Similarly, voters must live in a school district for at least 25 days in order to vote for school district directors; but do not have a similar residency requirement to vote on other school district questions — like School District 38’s questions 3A — or on state ballot questions. The inconsistent requirements are a direct result of the newly enacted law and limit the opportunities of citizens who move less than 30 days before the election to vote on certain matters. The new law removed the right that those who recently moved had to cast a ballot for every ques-

tion at their prior residence. Seven hundred El Paso County residents may be affected by these varying residency requirements. El Paso County mailed each of these individuals a self-affirmation form to maximize voting opportunities. “We wanted to ensure that every citizen had the opportunity to vote on every race they legally could,” said El Paso County Clerk and Recorder Wayne Williams. “We submitted our procedures to the secretary of state to ensure compliance with Colorado law.” While El Paso County is following the law’s residency requirements, the suit alleges that some counties are not following the law, and that the application of the law should be uniform. In response to the lawsuit, Williams said, “this lawsuit illustrates one of a number of problems with the hastily passed HB13-1303. That is why citizens and newspapers alike from across the state urged lawmakers to slow down as the bill was rushed through the legislature. I urge the legislature to address the numerous issues with the law when they reconvene. Until they do so, Coloradans concerned about the issues with the law will continue to seek judicial solutions. While we will fully cooperate with the litigation process, fixing the issues with the law really is the responsibility of the Legislature.”

STORY OF HOW IT ALL BEGAN Woodland Park Public Library began serving the community Jan. 15, 1966 as the Woodland Memorial Library in Memorial Hall near the town pond.

Panthers wind up 5-5 on the gridiron Woodland Park football team drops season finale to Lewis-Palmer, 35-32 By Danny Summers

Dsummers@ourcoloradonews.com Woodland Park ended its football season with three consecutive losses to even its overall record at 5-5. The Panthers dropped their season finale to LewisPalmer, 35-32, Oct. 31 at Don Breese Stadium in Monument. Sophomore quarterback Cecil Cox accounted for three touchdowns for the Panthers; a 25-yard run, a 15yard pass to Logan Watters and an 18-yard pass to Joey Ereon. Cox also ran for a two-point conversion. Senior running back Weston Shutts scored Woodland Park’s other touchdown on a 16-yard scamper in the second quarter. Junior kicker Dakota Herman booted a 33-yard field goal, his longest of the season. “We were a physical team this year,” said Woodland Park coach Joe Roskam. “We ran the ball well and we were solid on special teams.” The Panthers ran for more than 2,300 yards as a team. Cox paced the way with 600-plus yards and seven touchdowns. He also threw seven touchdown passes. Josh Smith, Dylan Schaller-Ward and Shutts all had 500-plus yards on the ground. The Panthers began the season with three victories in their first four games; 35-12 over Englewood, 35-14 over Harrison and 29-7 over Sierra. Woodland Park’s early season loss was to Liberty, 28-27, in overtime when Roskam decided to go for a two-point conversion rather than kick the extra point and force a second overtime. After a disappointing 52-20 loss to Pueblo Central in Week 5, Woodland Park reeled off wins over The Academy, 34-0, and Mitchell, 23-20, to improve to 5-2. The victory over Mitchell turned out to be the Panthers’ lone Class 3A South Central League win. The Panthers ran into a buzz saw in Week 8 when it hosted Coronado, the state’s No. 2 ranked team at the time. The Cougars came away 27-9 winners. In Week 9

Dylan Schaller-Ward, with football, enjoyed a solid junior season for the Panthers. He will be one of key players in the success of next year’s team. Woodland Park hosted the state’s third-ranked team in Discovery Canyon and lost 42-0. “We’re still learning how to win,” Roskam said. “It’s going to take lots of hard work and lots of elbow grease and a lot of buy-in by everybody around us.” Things may not get any easier for the Panthers next season as there is talk of a super conference that would involve all of the Colorado Springs area 3A teams, as well as three Pueblo Schools and Canon City, which is dropping down from 4A.

“If you look at some of those schools, it’s just not the football team that’s good, every team (sport) is good,” Roskam said. “It’s a culture.” In addition to Cox and Schaller-Ward, the Panthers will return several other key players next season. Among them are sophomore wide receivers Ereon and Jamie Ensley, junior linebacker Joel Woolley, and Herman. “We’re going to give our guys a week or two off and after Thanksgiving we’ll get revved up again,” Roskam said. “We’ll come back in January and we’re rockin’.”

Woodland Park volleyball spiked way to solid season Panthers went 9-13 overall; finished third in Metro League By Danny Summers

Dsummers@ourcoloradonews.com Woodland Park’s volleyball season ended at the Mitchell Tournament on Oct. 26 when the Panthers dropped three of four matches to end their season with a 9-13 overall record. Woodland Park needed to win all four matches against Sand Creek, Pueblo County, Falcon and Elizabeth to have a shot at qualifying for the Class 4A regional tournament. Woodland Park defeated Sand Creek, 2-1, but lost to the other teams. “We played well, but when the girls get down a couple of points they seem to have a hard time coming back,” said Woodland Park coach Stacy Roshek. “They just don’t seem to have as much intensity throughout an entire match, but we’re getting there.” Woodland Park finished third in league behind Coronado and Mesa Ridge. The Panthers featured a senior dominated lineup this season. Outside hitter Carli Vahsholtz dominated the net, pummeling opponents to the tune of 218 kills and a 36.9 kills percentage. “Carli was a force for us,” Roshek said. Next on the team in kills were junior Maureen Cummings (98) and senior Alexa Garrick (87). Senior Paloma Juarros, was the team’s

usual setter, but she also saw time on the front line and blasted 40 kills. Junior Kelsey Black (38 kills) and sophomore Sierra Wilson (34 kills) gained some key varsity experience. Senior libero Linnea Sauer did her part to keep rallies alive by coming with 239 digs. Juarros was next with 117, followed by junior Kaitlyn Smith’s 105 and junior Katie Stunkard’s 92. Other key contributors in the dirty knees department were Garrick (37 digs), Black (22 digs) and Cummings (17 digs). Juarros directed the offense 80 percent of the time and distributed 387 assists. Senior Josie Westberg had 39 assists. The Panthers were well represented on the all-Metro League team. Vahsholtz was named to the first team, while Juarros and Cummings made the second team. Sauer was named honorable mention. Roshek plans to give the girls a few of months off before getting things ramped up again in the spring. “The future looks good,” Roshek said. “I think we’ll have a good mix of girls coming back next year.” Other key contributors next year are expected to be junior Kelsey Arseneau, and sophomores Heather McDonald, Kylie Mitchell and Jenny Lau. Roshek said that Lau and Arseneau will compete for the key outside hitter’s spot. “The sophomore girls on the (junior varsity) team hate to lose,” Roshek said. “You have to love that.”

Maureen Cummings will be counted on to play a key role for the Panthers’ volleyball team in 2014.

Chiefs were just plain poor If a poll had been taken prior to the NFL season asking which team would be leading the AFC West at the halfway point of the schedule, there would be fewer hands raised in support of the Kansas City Chiefs than from inside an 8th grade algebra class. The Chiefs were a poor excuse of a team last year. They were Oliver Twist poor. They were news reporter on a salary poor. They were just plain poor. But what a difference a year makes. In less time than it takes to thrust a tomahawk chop, the Chiefs have stunningly gone from being the worst team in the NFL last year, to having the league’s the best record, so far this season. So the Denver Broncos now have some competition for the AFC West title this year - and that’s the best thing that could have happened to the team in orange. After a bumpy 2-3 start last year, the Broncos steamrolled through their 11 remaining games, piling up an astronomical 346 points during that stretch, while allowing just 175. The Broncos’ dismantling of just about every team they came across made for some big-time Sunday yawners last year. Seriously, I found myself switching from

Broncos games to “Antiques Roadshow” replays, simply for the sake of getting a little drama in my life. And seeing Denver’s AFC West rivals pitifully try to keep pace with the Broncos high-octane scoring machine was like watching Jackie Gleason’s Sheriff Buford T. Justice chase after Burt Reynolds in “Smokey in the Bandit.” Like Sheriff Justice, AFC teams would mutter, “What we’re dealing with here is a complete lack of respect for the law,” as Denver whizzed up and down the field, scoring at will. The Broncos went 6-0 against the Chiefs, San Diego Chargers and Oakland Raiders last year, three teams that had a combined record of 13-35.

But Denver paid a mighty big price in the playoffs for their stroll-in-the-park-like schedule last year, when the battle-tested Baltimore Ravens came to the Mile High City and shocked the football world. But while the Broncos have won their share of blowouts this season, they’ve also had games where they’ve been tested. And I have a feeling that’s going to be the case the rest of the way, for the team’s betterment. In five of Denver’s eight games this year, the Broncos have either been trailing, tied or slightly ahead at halftime. The win against Dallas was a nail-biting shootout, while the Broncos had to rebound from a 21-7 3rd quarter deficit in their win against Washington. And, of course, we all know what happened in Indianapolis a few weeks ago, thank you very much, Ronnie Hillman. Heading into the second half of the season, the Chiefs, Chargers and Raiders already have more combined wins (15) than they had all of last year. And the AFC West has more wins than any other division in football. It’s not just the vastly-improved Chiefs that are providing more competition for Denver. Last year, throws by San Diego

quarterback Philip Rivers missed Chargers receivers more times than Von Miller has missed court dates. But this year, Rivers seems revived under new head coach Mike McCoy, the former Broncos offensive coordinator. And even the Raiders - yes, the Raiders! - are playing decent football, a team that is capable of pulling off a few upsets in the second half of the season. Three of Broncos’ next four games are on the road and their schedule in that stretch is brutal: at San Diego, Kansas City, at New England and at Kansas City. So Denver has its work cut out for them this year. And that’s a very good thing. Cakewalks may look nice on a Candy Land board game, but they don’t mean a thing once the postseason comes around. And the Broncos’ playoff opponents are certain to be more capable of catching them than Buford T. Justice.
