Holmes, RE-1 super gets voted out by board By Pat Hill [email protected]

In a 3-2 vote the RE-1 School board voted Feb. 24 not to renew the contract for the superintendent, Sue Holmes. “It was a standing-room only affair full of Ms. Holmes’ supporters, many of whom tes-tifi ed in her support,” said Teller County commissioner Marc Dettenrieder in a re-port to the commissioners Feb. 27. “They shared many compelling stories of her successes as a superintendent over the past nearly eight years.”

There were no calls that evening for Holmes’ removal, Dettenrieder said. “In the end, I was disappointed to see that the school board voted 3-2 not to renew her contract,” he said. “Under Ms. Holmes’ tenure great strides have been made; the district and the community will certainly miss her leadership, involvement and vi-sion for this district.”

The board voted in executive session and announced the results after the ses-sion.

Tim Braun, president of the board, and Lourdes Monger voted to renew Holmes’ contract while Don Daniel, Dennis Jones and Tana Rice voted to deny renewal. In a call to Braun, he declined to comment as the vote was taken during executive ses-sion, he said.

However, former school board member, Karen Casey-Svetich, is not constrained by legislative rules. “I know that Sue will land on her feet; she’s a brilliant leader. My big worry is for the kids,” said Casey-Svetich, former member of the school board.

Holmes is one of three leaving the dis-trict next year; Jean Olmstead is retiring as the business manager and Trudy Vader, principal of the high school, resigned last week.

“I am so disappointed that people in leadership’s position either aren’t using their leadership skills or are unwilling to get the skills,” she said. “With a pretty new whole board, it would be really important for them to come in, and if they had con-cerns, sit back for a year as a group and gather information.”

In her tenure as the superintendent, Holmes changed the culture of the school, Casey-Svetich said. “The kids were ex-pected to behave,” she said. “And the kids responded to that.”

The decision was uninformed, Casey-Svetich said. “In my opinion it wasn’t well thought out,” she added. “It’s such a deep disappointment. I think you expect more of our community leaders.”

The fi rst project to be completed within Woodland Station, Gene and Kelly Rodarmel’s Woodland Hardware is 22,000 square feet of new inventory.

The store opened during the last week of February, a few days ahead of schedule.

The off-site improvements around the hardware store include sidewalks, street lights, landscaping, storm drainage as well as the construction projects on Center Street and Saddle Club Drive.

Projects within the Downtown De-velopment District are funded with tax-increment fi nancing; in this case, the fi nancing will be used to pay off the bonds purchased through Vectra Bank.

“The store is the fi rst in Woodland Station; we have other developers interested in the station,” said Brian Fleer, executive director of the city of economic and downtown develop-ment.

Driver Safety sponsors essayBy Pat [email protected]

In memory of Kevin McDonald, Driver Safety Consultants sponsors an essay contest on texting and driv-ing. McDonald, a student at Wood-land Park High School, was killed in a car crash last year at the intersection of U.S. 24 and the entrance to Pikes Peak Regional Hospital, at the top of Bluebird Hill.

The two winners, male and female, will receive a 36-hour defensive driv-ing course at Driver Safety Consul-tants. The essay, to be titled “Distract-ed Driving,” should be 500 words or

less and include a short video clip, no more than five minutes.

The deadline for submissions is April 30 and the winners will be an-nounced on May 16. Essays should be submitted to [email protected].

Tom Antkow founded Driver Safe-ty Consultants as a response to the death of his daughter, Melissa, who was killed by a 16-year-old driver in Phoenix. Antkow attributes the trag-edy to the inexperience of the driver. Today, he is dedicated to teaching young people how to drive safely.

Driver Safety Consultants is in the Woodland Professional Building at 400 W. Midland Ave. in Woodland Park.

Accessory dwellings move on to councilWP Planning Commission recommends approvalBy Norma EngelbergContributing writer

Woodland Park city planners have been working on an ordinance to allow homeown-ers to add accessory dwelling units, often called “mother-in-law apartments,” on their properties since September. The planning commission has worked on this ordinance in three work sessions but on Feb. 27 they were ready to take on the ordinance in pub-lic meeting.

Planning Director Sally Riley went over the ordinance paragraph by paragraph. She said these kinds of small rental units are an answer to the city’s “Silver Tsunami,” the in-flux of aging Baby Boomers whose housing needs are increasing.

“These units will allow our elders to age in place and help homeowners earn extra income,” she said. “They’ll also answer the area’s high demand for rentals.”

Besides suggestions made by commis-sioners during work sessions, the ordinance incorporates changes made by Utilities Director Kip Wiley and City Attorney Erin Smith.

While a number of Colorado cities and

counties have accessory dwelling unit codes, only a few have density codes that limit how close together they can be built. The ordi-nance, as presented, replicates density codes adopted by the city of Boulder. This means that in urban residential and most commer-cial zones there can be only one accessory dwelling unit per block. In suburban resi-dential zones these units can’t be built within a 600 foot radius of other units.

Accessory dwelling units that already ex-ist are to be grandfathered as legal, noncon-forming. The planning department will map them but they will not be required to meet current building codes unless their owners make changes.

The planning commission voted four to one to recommend approval. Commissioner Tom Rollinger cast the nay vote. Before the vote, Commissioner Marti Propes said this ordinance will be a huge plus for the city, es-pecially with its aging population.

Commission Chair Jon DeVaux wanted to assure city residents that building accessory dwelling units on their properties will not turn them into commercial properties that are taxed at a much higher rate than residen-tial properties.

The ordinance will move on to city coun-cil on March 6 on first reading and on March 20 for public hearing. The commission’s next meeting is scheduled on March 27.

By Sta� report An annual social gathering for a cause, the Feb. 15

Sweetheart Ball is Woodland Park’s entrance into the realm of high-class charity fundraisers. Held at Shining Moun-tain Golf Club, the event includes dinner, live and silent auctions, a well-known local master of ceremonies and dancing. The fundraiser benefi ts Help the Needy, a Wood-land Park nonprofi t organization that fi lls gaps in tempo-rary needs.

“Our Sweetheart Ball was a huge success. We had over

two-hundred attendees, and raised a greater amount of much needed funds than in past events. This was due to our having a number of great auction items and four amaz-ing sponsors – Exostrategies, Vanguard Skincare Special-ists, Creative Providers Foundation and Steve and Debbie Jeroslow. We are so thankful for everyone who made this event such a success – our great volunteers who orga-nized the event, and the terrifi c supporters who attended. Thanks to their support Help the Needy will be able to as-sist Teller County people in need during 2014,” said Vince Scarlata, executive director of Help the Needy.

CC & V: economic multiplierBy Pat [email protected]

With 522 employees and a $47 million annual payroll, Cripple Creek & Victor Min-ing Co. contributed $5,414,461 to the Teller County tax rolls last year. By 2015, CC & V expects to increase the number of employ-ees to 630, in addition to 275 contractors on-site.

The enhanced hiring is related to the expansion of the mine as well as the mill. “We accept applications for open positions only,” said Jane Mannon, community af-fairs manager, in her annual report to the Teller County commissioners. “We get such

a flood of applications that our HR (human resources) department is literally buried.”

The positions are posted on the CC & V website and at InfoMine website.

The average salary and benefits for em-ployees is $85,000, the average hourly wage $32. Last year, the mine produced 230,794 ounces of gold.

Of $6.1 million the mine paid in state taxes, $1.9 million was a severance tax, some of which comes back to the county in the form of energy/mineral impact grants.

The realignment of Colo. 67, funded by CC & V, is the result of the mine-life exten-sion to 2026. The road opened last Septem-ber.

Along with producing gold from the land, CC & V has pledged to rehabilitate the land. “We start some tree removal in the north Cresson area, which is in the Cripple Creek view shed,” she said. ”One of the things we committed to outside of the mine area was to thin some of the pine trees in the aspen grove which, hopefully, will help propagate those aspen groves.”

In addition to the news about the mine’s economic heft, the mine’s donation to the capitol dome brought the most publicity statewide.

“Our favorite project of the year is the state capitol dome,” Mannon said, clicking on a photograph of the completed dome in

Denver. “They actually flew a drone to take the picture.”

The mine donated 75 ounces of gold which was sent to artisans in Italy who transformed the gold into gold leaf. The leaf covered 5,689 square feet of the entire dome.

“They supported the copper from be-hind, so, hopefully, it won’t get so beat up by hail,” Mannon said, adding that state officials have schedule a dedication and ribbon-cutting ceremony Aug. 1.

Mannon was accompanied at the com-missioners’ meeting by the mine’s General Manager Ray Dubois and Environmental Manager Tim Comer.

Father enraged over vicious catBy Pat [email protected]

Sorrow over his daughter’s injury coun-tered by anger at his seeming helplessness, Matt Teschendorf caused a stir at the coun-ty commissioner’s meeting Feb. 24.

“I’d like to show you a picture of my beautiful 6-year-old daughter,” he said.

The photo showed the little girl’s face scratched and scarred.

Teschendorf, who gave his address as 415 N. West St. in Woodland Park, prefaced the exhibit with a reading of a Teller County ordinance which only addresses dogs, at-large, vicious, rabid or barking.

According to the ordinance, the own-ers of such dogs are subject to civil and/or criminal prosecution for bodily injury. “The description of bodily injury includes the breaking of skin and flesh,” he said.

Heads in the audience shot up when Te-schendorf said the injuries were caused by a cat, the neighbor’s cat which entered his property and cause the bodily injury to the little girl.

Teschendorf was livid that the ordi-nance only considers dogs. “This falls under ‘vicious animal,’” he said. “If it had been a dog it would have been locked up, with a court date or euthanasia.”

When he turned to the county’s animal-control division, he was told they had no

legal recourse to intervene in incidents re-garding cats. “How do we fix a problem like this?” he said. “I am not allowed to trap that animal on my property; the animal control people told me I’d be stealing somebody’s personal property.”

In essence, Teschendorf asked that the wording be changed from “dogs” to “ani-mals.” “It will give law enforcement the ability to do their job and allow me, on my property, to properly defend my family from unwanted visitation from domestic animals.”

Commissioner Norm Steen agreed to meet with Teschendorf later to discuss his requests.

On another issue the economic threat to the county has reared its head again. Two measures on the November ballot would allow slots, table games and video lot-tery terminals at the state’s horse tracks in Arapaho, Mesa and Pueblo counties.

“Speaking for myself, as you might ex-pect, I will oppose any measure of that sort that affects the state constitution, the his-toric mining districts and historic preser-vation, as it relates to gaming in the state,” said Commissioner Marc Dettenrieder, re-ferring to grants from the Limited Gaming Impact Fund.

If passed, the funds are slated to gener-ate revenue for K-12 public schools.

Wisdom comes with silver tsunami By Pat Hill [email protected]

Braced with wisdom and buoyed by a sense of vitality, Dee Breitenfeld, 76, Vir-ginia Shippey, 86, and Pat Danielson, 81, are meeting their twilight years head-on. Part of the silver tsunami, a reference to the rash of people 65 and older, the three are amid the 36 percent of Coloradans who live alone.

As statistics go, they are also in the fast-est-growing group of households in Colo-rado with a sole occupant.

While the state demographer considers single older women most at risk fi nancial-ly, these three are mortgage-free and, thus, not faced with choices between utilities and food.

They are, like many of their peers, gen-erous with their opinions, particularly on staying vibrant and engaged. As a result, the three harbor a certain sense of having lived well.

But when it comes to glamorous adven-tures like traveling or competing in athletic events, they agree that energetic experi-ences are for seniors who may have recent-ly retired and are still vigorous.

“Around 70, things change,” Danielson said. “You’re missing a spouse or develop medical problems. That’s when you need help, maybe with transportation.”

As single women, the three harbor some of the same fears, among them, dy-ing alone. “What if I didn’t wake up? How long would I lie there?” said Breitenfeld, a self-described old-maid spinster. “I have friends with the same concerns.”

Shippey counts on the neighbors to check on her. “But if they move away, where am I? Maybe we could give welfare calls to people in the fi re district,” she said.

Nursing homes are another bugaboo for the three. “Our home is our castle; we want to be in our own homes,” Shippey said.

Danielson agrees. “There’s nothing like your own home,” she said. “There are peo-ple who don’t have anybody; we need to look out for them.”

For people in the tsunami, the potential for feelings of loneliness and helplessness cast a negative pall on what is pegged as the golden years. “How many days has it been since I used my voice?” said Shippey, in self-examination.

Shippey, however, is blessed with a positive attitude and still belongs to the

Ute Pass Crickets, an RV club (she stays in a cabin), the Mountain Artists and the se-nior citizens’ club. “Very shortly after Har-old passed away two-and-a-half years ago, I said ‘I’ve got to get out of the house,’” she said.

Danielson, also a widow, is aware of the pitfalls attached to loneliness. “I can’t cook for one so I eat at the senior center,” she said. “This is my life activity; I have devel-oped a real companionship here, these are my friends.”

Appreciated for her cooking, for prepar-ing meals when the Golden Circle Nutri-tion program doesn’t deliver, Danielson is concerned about people with attitudes. “Some view the senior center as a place ‘where all the old people are,’” she said.

On the other hand, Breitenfeld is a rebel of sorts. “I have to admit I don’t avail myself of senior-center activities,” she said.

Known for being on the go, Breitenfeld is vice-chairman of Teller Historic and En-vironmental Coalition, member of the Ute Pass Historical Society and antique dealer. “I’ve seen people retire and, because they had no other interests outside of their work, literally fall apart,” Breitenfeld said. “The biggest thing is being involved.”

Yet Breitenfeld continues to cheat death, having survived breast cancer only to be diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer. “I think God isn’t fi nished with me yet,” she said. She is currently being treat-ed with a series of oral chemotherapy.

Breitenfeld’s humor is part of her char-acter, her strength. “I have a strong faith; if I didn’t have that faith in God, I don’t know what I’d do. I don’t know what God has in mind for me, but it’s kind of interesting.”

On another issue, the three express concern about the availability of prescrip-

tion and over-0the-counter drugs. “I see too many people of all ages, especially older people, who are over-prescribed,” Breitenfeld said. “Doctors really aren’t trained to treat older people.”

Shippey agrees. “I think a lot of the doctors are so busy they don’t really go into it,” she said. For her part, Danielson is disgusted about the number of television ads touting all kinds of medicine. “I take nothing,” she said.

All agree that drugs aren’t the answer to feelings of isolation or trying to do away with aches and pains. “There is noth-ing that’s going to make our life perfect. There’s a beginning and an end,” Daniel-son said. “There’s nothing you can take to change that; we have these different feel-ings and attitudes that change over the years and you’ve just got to go with the fl ow. Accept it.”

Dee Breitenfeld, Virginia Shippey and Pat Danielson talk about their fears, their joys and the issues they face as part of aging. In the next several years, people over the age of 65 are expected to overwhelm senior services in the Pikes Peak Region. Photo by Pat Hill

THINGS TO DO

Help us keep the Pass openTo many, it offers a path from one

world to another. It has been for years.“The pass includes the towns of Cas-

cade, Chipita Park, Green Mountain Falls, Crystola, Woodland Park, and Divide. It skirts the north side of Pikes Peak through the Fountain Creek canyon west of Manitou Springs, and climbs 3,000 feet to its summit in Divide at 9,165 feet,” by de-scription of the Ute Pass Historical Society.

Now U.S. Highway 24 snakes its way up the the old Indian trail as a gateway to the mountains, and to slightly different ways, and a slower pace beyond.

The county of origin’s name is even de-rivative. One of the original 17 territorial counties garnered the Spanish designa-tion El Paso, or “the Pass” in 1861 when Territorial Governor William Gilpin asked the new territorial legislature to extend boundaries across the entire territory. In 1899, when Teller County was carved out, a portion of one county’s namesake fell into another.

Today, “26,000 vehicles per day travel on this critical U.S. Highway connect-

ing the Front Range to the mountains,” according to a recent presentation to Congressman Doug Lamborn created by El Paso County officials.

The presentation notes that the Waldo Canyon Fire, which started June 23, 2012, near Colorado Springs in western El Paso County, killed two people, burned 18,247 acres, destroyed 347 homes, and has required more than $30 million spent on fire recovery and flood mitigation to date. That does not even consider the amount that the Colorado Department of Trans-portation has spent.

The problem in the Pass, of course,

is there is no buffer zones between the canyons and communities and the an-cient path is closed anytime the National Weather Service issues a flash flood warn-ing.

El Paso County Commissioner Sallie Clark calls attention to an unprecedented coordinated regional effort and alphabet soup involved. The players striving to mitigate flood risk include El Paso County, U.S. Forest Service, City of Colorado Springs, Colorado Springs Utilities, City of Manitou Springs, Flying W Ranch, El Pomar Foundation, Coalition for the Upper South Platte (CUSP), Navigators/Glen Eyrie, Rocky Mountain Field Institute (RMFI), Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), U.S. Congressional rep-resentation, U.S. Weather Service, just to name a few. The recovery group for 2013, spent more than $30 million and needs ongoing funding to continue and main-tain completed projects.

As of September 2013, 45 detention basins had been created, 30,560 feet of reshaped channels worked, 2,383 derbis

deflectors installed, and 89 hand treat-ments completed to reduce catastrophic events.

But this is what the collective recovery group has identified as what they need.

• Emergency Watershed Protection Program funds to initiate and complete mitigation projects.

• Funds to restore healthy forests and prevent catastrophic wildfires and dam-age to watersheds and communities.

• Aid for healthy forests and hazardous fuel reduction.

• Continuation of Good Neighbor Authority and Forest Stewardship Program under the Farm Bill, critical in mitigation projects.

• Fund (Hazard Mitigation Grant Pro-gram) needed to purchase private prop-erty that is repeatedly flooded to reduce long-term risk and insured losses.

Perhaps, with some success in securing these needs, the path from one world to another can remain open and accessible, as it has been for years.

Memories of Alan Roach and the Sky SoxFor those who have listened to 850

KOA radio for any amount of time, sports anchor Alan Roach is a familiar name. His booming voice is unmistakable.

But Roach is more than a radio guy. He was the long-time public address announc-er of the Colorado Rockies. He is the PA announcer for the Colorado Avalanche and Denver Broncos. In addition, he has served as the PA announcer for eight consecu-tive Super Bowls and numerous Olympic hockey events.

But did you know that Roach’s first PA announcing job was with the Colorado Springs Sky Sox? Roach was hired in 1990 to fill in for the team’s PA announcer, who was on vacation. At the time, Roach was working as a disc jockey for KKFM. His on-air name while spinning discs was Kelly O’Shea.

Much like the famed Wally Pipp-Lou Gehrig scenario, Roach was so good he was

asked to stay on permanently. The “old” PA announcer never got his job back.

“He was head and shoulders above any-one else we ever heard,” said Marty Grantz, the long-time official scorer of the Sky Sox. “He was quick enough and smart enough to get it. Real savvy. He understood the makeup of the event as a whole.”

Roach was an instant hit with Sky Sox fans and players. So much so that it didn’t take long for him to be noticed by those in more influential positions.

“I just remember talking to him through the open scoreboard window between rooms during games,” recalled Dave Hostetler, who worked the scoreboard for the Sky Sox during Roach’s days in Colo-rado Springs.

Roach was hired as the Rockies’ first PA announcer prior to the start of their inau-gural 1993 season when the team played at Mike High. In 14 seasons (through 2006) he missed just one Rockies home game. It occurred Saturday, June 9, 2001, when he announced the Avalanches’ historic Stanley Cup Game 7 win over the New Jersey Dev-ils. Roach announced the post-game cer-emony in which Joe Sakic famously handed the Stanley Cup to Ray Bourque.

In 2008, Roach became the Broncos’ PA announcer, replacing Alan Cass, who did the team’s home games for 20 seasons.

Roach was already the voice of NFL events worldwide at that point. He was the

PA announcer for eight consecutive Super Bowls starting in 2006. He was bumped from his gig last month when the NFL rules prohibited him from working a game in which his team (the Broncos) was involved. The Broncos could have used his magic against the Seahwaks.

Roach is also the voice of the annual Pro Football Hall of Fame ceremonies in Canton, Ohio.

Travelers to Denver International Air-port are also familiar with Roach. His voice is currently featured on the underground train system along with Denver television anchor Adele Arakawa.

I don’t know who the Sky Sox’s PA an-nouncer will be this season, but whoever it is the bar has been set pretty high by Roach.

And to think, Roach once walked among us here in the Pikes Peak region. You just never know who will go onto greatness.

Kids are less fit than their parentsIt may turn out that Rich Killingsworth,

a Centers for Disease Control scientist, may have been a soothsayer a decade ago, when he warned that, “The lifestyle of most American families is so unhealthy, so toxic, that we may be witnessing the first generation of kids ever whose life expec-tancy is less than that of their parents.” A recent worldwide Australian research study examining the difference in fitness levels between today’s children and their parents appears to support Killingsworth’s fears.

According to an AP press release, the study, which was featured at an American Heart Association conference this past November, analyzed 50 independent stud-ies on running fitness involving 25 million children ages 9 to 17 in 28 counties from 1964 to 2010. The cardiovascular testing measured how far children could run in 5 to 15 minutes and how fast they could run specific distances of a half-mile to 2 miles.

The results are worrisome. Today’s chil-dren are 15 percent less fit than their par-ents were at the same age.

Lead researcher Grant Tomkinson, Ph.D., says the reason is simple … they’re carrying too much fat making it “more difficult to move through space.” Besides battling obesity, kids also have to contend with an environment that is toxic to activ-ity, he says.

During the past 50 years, the prevalence of childhood obesity in American has near-ly tripled leading to alarming increases in both type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease among America’s youth.

In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention predicts that one in three

children who were born in or after the year 2000 will develop type 2 diabetes. Many others will face chronic obesity-related health problems such as heart disease, high cholesterol, asthma, high blood pres-sure and cancer.

What’s a parent to do? The answer is simple … get your children to move!

Here are some suggestions gleaned from Weight Watchers and WebMD.

Think outside the playing field. Not all children are drawn to organized sports like soccer or baseball. Look for other activi-ties that might strike your child’s fancy like dancing, rock climbing or martial arts.

Buy video games that make them sweat. Opt for the Wii Fit system or one of the Dance, Dance Revolution videos over a sedentary video game.

Rotate active chores among your chil-dren. Shovel snow, take out the trash, rake up pine needles, haul fire wood, vacuum the house … they all count. Change the chore assignments every week so every-body gets to do something different and gets to work different muscle groups.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Dear Editor:My name is Daniel Carr, and I am a

high school junior in Woodland Park. I have been homeschooled up until my sophomore year of HS, and now attend college classes full time as a concurrent enrollment student.

In the three years that I have lived in Woodland Park, I have had constant involvement in community service and community projects. I serve as the only youth intern at Woodland Park City Hall. I serve as the Youth Advisor for the Wood-land Aquatic Project Board of Trustees. I have acted as a photographer and re-searcher for the Ute Pass Historical Soci-ety, and have been involved in the Pikes Peak Rotary Club. I have always sought to give back to the community, and I want to continue doing so, which is where JSA comes in.

The Junior State of America Summer Program provides an opportunity for high school juniors to participate in rigorous academic programs at several prestigious universities. I have set my sights on the 3-week program to Georgetown Univer-sity in Washington, D.C. The Georgetown program is very politically oriented, which would help me in my dream to serve as a government offi cial or representative. The JSA program will enrich my education and my understanding of political science and philosophy, and will surround me with other HS students with similar interests in the political arena. This program is of utmost importance to me, as it will act as a crucial stepping stone toward my dream of becoming a highly-educated, well-round-ed representative of the United States, and will put me in a position to serve my com-munity on a grander scale.

However, I need help to achieve this dream. I was privileged and honored to receive the largest scholarship amount that JSA has ever offered, but I still need close to $4,000 to reach my tuition fund-raising goal. If you are interested in lend-ing a fi nancial helping hand, please visit my online fundraising page at fundraise.jsa.org/danielcarr. If you are not in a posi-tion to offer fi nancial assistance, please send my fundraising page to everyone who might be able to help. Together, we can make my dream come true.

I hope this information will be of use to you. Let me know if there is anything else I can do.

Best regards, Daniel Carr

Dear Editor:I am very pleased to strongly endorse

Lorrie Worthey for re-election as mayor ofGreen Mountain Falls. She carefully

listens to the citizens and pays attention to their concerns. That is the kind of mayor we need.

Lorrie has worked hard to keep the residents informed on what is happening in town government despite repeated ef-forts of certain members of current board of trustees to keep important information from being revealed to the public.

She has not been afraid to ask ques-tions that the citizens of Green Mountain Falls deserve answers to.

Lorrie has demonstrated steadfast integrity under duress. For example, she refused to sign a grant request that con-tained infl ated cost fi gures.

Her outstanding success in working with regional offi cials has gained their respect.

So far, she has been endorsed by the mayors of Woodland Park, Manitou Springs,

and Monument. She has worked espe-cially well with El Paso County Commis-

sioner Sallie Clark.Lorrie has stood tall in the face of

adversity. She has had to try to work with a dysfunctional board of trustees that has been out of control with embarrass-ing behavior making board meetings the laughing stock of the area.

Lorrie has endured personal attacks in public by certain members of the current board and they have shown an egregious lack of respect for the offi ce of mayor. Some of those trustees are now the subject of a recall election.

Lorrie Worthey shares the citizens’ concern for safety and security and advo-cates the restoration of the town marshal’s department.

Re-elect Lorrie Worthey!Sincerely,

Dick BrattonFormer mayor of Green Mountain Falls.

Dear Editor:In response to Dick Bratton’s misin-

formation in this week’s Courier, Mayor (un) Worthey is the villain. She indebted the town by borrowing money she had no authority to do. If she had known or cared she could have simply requested the use of contingency funds that were reimbursed by FEMA.

As far as integrity is concerned I think ginning up bogus charges against an em-ployee to shift the focus away from herself shows a decided lack of integrity. Mr. Bratton disassociates the receipt of FEMA funds with the act of fi lling out, signing and submitting the grant application. FEMA doesn’t send you a check because they have too much money lying around. You actually have to prove a need for it.

As far as costs are concerned (un) Worthey saved us nothing. In fact staff spent hours checking and rechecking time sheets and fuel logs wasting time on a fool’s errand when they should have been doing the town’s business. Not only did she cost us in employee time wasted but we had to pay attorney’s fees to boot. In regard to respect, most people who have it earn it. She’s done nothing to earn respect from anyone for anything she’s done in Green Mountain Falls. In fact I’d be inter-ested in seeing a list of her accomplish-ments since becoming mayor.

By the way, with the exception of the word “unfairly” the only accurate sentence in Mr. Bratton’s letter is the last one in which he describes my attempt to dis-credit (un) Worthey. She has been nothing but divisive and accusatory. Her claim of being transparent and accountable is a joke! Frankly her whole term in offi ce has been a sad joke on the residents of Green Mountain Falls.

On the other hand there are viable can-didates out there who are anxious to serve. Jane Newberry, running for mayor, is eminently qualifi ed to hold this position. A trustee for eight years she made every one of them count. Total involvement in matters that benefi t Green Mountain Falls is her unspoken byword. It’s about time somebody gave her the credit she deserves. She is the go-to guy if you need something accomplished in town at the board level. A list of her achievements will be impressive.

Margaret Peterson came to the board just over a year ago. It took her a month or so to come out of her shell, but since then she’s made a positive impact on ev-ery project she takes on. She doesn’t do a lot of talking but when she does her topic has been well researched, well thought out, and accurate. My personal opinion is that she is too self-effacing. She knows what she’s talking about when she talks.

She’s been an asset to Green Mountain Falls since she took on her responsibilities and it makes no sense to change that.

If you’re tired of reading my opinion of what’s going on in GMF, imagine how I feel about being compelled to write it. In my entire life I’ve written six letters to the editor, fi ve so far this year (four this month) all regarding the political mess that. I won’t deny that I bear some of that responsibility. If I had followed my gut feeling and insisted on having Mayor (un) Worthey removed in late 2012 or early 2013 we wouldn’t be in the spot we are now but I let myself be talked out of it by our well-meaning attorney. But that’s a story for another day.

Sincerely, Mac PitroneGMF trustee

Dear Editor:The Cripple Creek-Victor School Board,

Teller County RE-1, met on 2/24/2014. The room was overfl owing with representatives from community agencies and concerned citizens. Approximately 20 speakers spoke in behalf of CC-V District Superintendent Sue Holmes, whose contract was up for renewal. Among the community organi-zations represented were: Teller County Public Health, Headstart/Early Headstart, Parks & Recreation, Build a Generation, and two former school board members, among many current and former staff members. Also, a Teller County Commis-sioner spoke in her support.

Although many readers do not reside in the election districts which contribute school board members to the CC-V School Board, all voters should be aware of their responsibility to become informed about their elected offi cials, and how they act “in their constituents’ behalf.” This is especially true if the elected offi cials have been given the sacred trust of protecting the youngest and most vulnerable of our citizens, our children. In this case, I am writing to inform the public of what trans-pired that night.

All speakers praised Mrs. Holmes’ lead-ership and reported the progress made in the district following her arrival. The facts

included the creation of student support programs, increase in student perfor-mance, improvement in teacher account-ability, her outreach to the community (a charge from the previous board) and her ability to hire skilled professionals to implement these improvements.

The result of the vote in favor of not re-newing the contract suggests that three of the School Board members either did not hear the many voices of support for Mrs. Holmes in the public session, or had other information about Mrs. Holmes which was not made public.

This letter is a request for the School Board Members who voted YES (to NOT renew Mrs. Holmes’ contract) to publicly explain and justify their vote. They did not receive any negative information in the session, so one must wonder about how reliably they are listening to their constitu-ents and following their direction. I chal-lenge Mr. Jones, Mr. Daniel and Mrs. Rice to explain their positions so that informed citizens can decide on whether or not they best represent the majority of the voters in their districts.

Respectfully submitted, Wanda Eppes, Psy. D., Park County resident, retired CC-V

District Psychologist

Deadline looms for ACA sign-up By Pat Hill [email protected]

A result of the Affordable Care Act and the individual mandate to carry health in-

surance, the sign-up procedure is at Con-nectforHealthCO.com.

“Some people need a lot of help through the system and others just need a little guidance,” said Anita Riggle, the hospi-tal’s ACA-website counselor. “I’ve had cli-ents come in who don’t have computers so they’re computer-shy.”

With Colorado among the states whose governors agreed to expand Medicaid cov-

erage under the ACA mandate, Riggle helps clients determine their qualifi cations. “If they’re denied coverage they come back and we review other health-care options,” she said. “We can help provide direction, answer questions.”

For Barbara Lee, the Medicaid option was a life-saver until she turns 65 next year. “I went online - I thought I was fairly smart but I couldn’t answer some of the ques-

tions,” Lee said. “So I went back to Anita and we sat there together - took about 45 minutes. Within a week I got a letter saying I was insured, retroactive to Feb. 1.”

Lee and her husband moved to Teller County in January after retiring in Loui-siana. “Insurance was my biggest worry

Festival draws enthusiasts from throughout the stateBy Sonja OliverContributing writer

Based on scientific theory, technology imagination and creativity, Steampunk is more than just the outward appear-ance of gadgets, goggles and Victorian-themed fashion as seen by the uniniti-ated.

Over the weekend of Feb. 21-23, the city of Victor hosted “steampunk” enthu-siasts at the Steampunk Festival II.

With its roots in the 19th century, the town of Victor is an ideal location for those who participate in the “ste-ampunk” movement which celebrates steam-powered technology and Victo-rian lifestyle. Attendees from Denver, Pueblo, Divide, Florissant as well as Victor residents came to the numerous events for a step back in time or into to the future — depending on their “steam-punk” perspective.

Steampunk?The term “steampunk” originated in

the 1980‘s from “speculative fiction,” a literary sub-genre of science fiction and fantasy writing.

The steampunk movement incor-porates the social or technological as-pects of the 19th century (the steam) and then de-constructs and re-imagines this theme in an alternate universe (the punk).

The themes and settings usually oc-cur within the backdrop of a re-envi-sioned history of the “Victorian British Empire” or “America’s Wild West” where modern technologies are re-created and realized through the arts, fashion, de-sign, engineering, technology and life-styles from the industrial revolution and modern age.

Through these dystopian hypotheses, one can envision the adventures of fa-mous or historic individuals whose paths may never have crossed, but are now somehow able to co-exist in an entirely different dimension or space in time.

Science fiction novels such as Jules Verne’s “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea” or H.G. Wells’ “The Time Machine,” as well as fantasy and horror themed-nov-els unite in an alternate universe that envisions what the past would look like if the technology of the future had been present.

Wild Wild West and Sherlock Holmes are examples of recent movies that have incorporated elements of the steampunk phenomena into their themes.

Technological and engineering he-roes of the steampunk movement in-clude inventors such as Nichola Tesla and Thomas A. Edison, whose original thought and creativity lend credence to the supernatural themes embraced by their admirers.

Enthusiast’s re-imaginations and re-creation of technological items such as cell phones and timepieces, appliances, cars, and motorcycles have incorporated steampunk design aesthetics of hand-polished brass and copper, hand-carved wood, and intricate engravings. Think antiques with an edge. Clothing and jew-

elry made in the steampunk style have a Victorian appearance, although with a technological slant.

Victor’s Steampunk Festival IIThe Steampunk Festival II was orga-

nized by several entities and organiza-tions in the City of Victor.

According to Ruth Zalewski, board president of the Southern Teller County Focus Group and Lowell Thomas Mu-seum, the three-day event was well at-tended with more than 250 people who participated throughout the weekend.

On Friday, the Lowell Thomas Mu-seum offered a Paranormal Investigation event. Saturday, the Cripple Creek and Victor Gold Mining Co. conducted tours of the modern gold mine. At the Gold Coin Club on Saturday, a fascinating presentation: Battle for Power — a His-tory of the Skagway Hydroelectric Plant and LaBella Steam Power Plants in the Mining District was given by Colorado Spring Utilities Operation Supervisor Chris Thompson.

A total of $1,050 in proceeds for the events benefitted the Lowell Thomas Museum’s operating costs. Victor resi-dent and businessman Jim Watson of 2 Mile High Mining LLC conducted tours of the Strong Mine to benefit the South-ern Teller County Focus Group. Those proceeds will go toward historic preser-vation and trail maintenance.

According to Elks Lodge No. 367 Ex-alted Ruler Bruce Beckman, more than 125 people attended the Steampunk Ball on Saturday evening and 75 people came to see Nikola Tesla impersonator Rich-ard Marold on Sunday. Beckman said proceeds from the Steampunk Ball and Tesla event are designated to go towards the Elks Lodge No. 367’s building main-tenance and utilities funds.

Throughout the weekend, there were ongoing Steampunk art and vendor em-poriums, historic downtown tours and ice skating at Brian’s Park as well as a “Broomball Tournament” on ice.

WPHS student Cirka wins design contestBy Pat [email protected]

Picking up on the mobile app craze, the Heritage Tourism Initiative touts Teller County’s history with a 21st-cen-tury motif. Scheduled to launch in June, the app features a logo designed by Alec Cirka.

Cirka, a senior at Woodland Park High School, was one of 24 entrants for the contest opened to WPHS, Cripple Creek/Victor High School and home-school students.

The logo highlights the splendor of the landscape, mountains, trees, sun, and includes the county’s railroad and mining history. “I thought of what best represents Teller County and all the things I like,” Cirka said.

A reflection of technological artistry, Cirka’s logo is a combination of website photographs and creative ingenuity. “I took non-copyrighted images from the

Teller County website and kind of made it my own,” he said. “The things are eas-ily identifiable for tourists.”

Cirka is a student of Lindsay Orellana at the high school. “I’ve definitely seen a lot of growth in Alec,” Orellana said. “He is thoughtful and very professional. We’re proud of him.”

The logo will be on the splash page of the app, said Mary Menz, board mem-ber of Teller Historic and Environmental Coalition, which sponsored the contest. “The Initiative identifies the county’s historic locations, scenic byways, bird-ing sites and ranches,” Menz said.

Alex Cirka, 17, created the logo for the Heritage Tourism Initiative, a project sponsored by Teller Historic and Environmental Coalition. With Cirka is his art teacher Lindsay Orellana at Woodland Park High School. Photo by Pat Hill

Animals are running for mayor of DivideStaff report

2014 is an important election year.Unlike the bickering and stalemated

politics as usual of Washington D.C., the candidates running for the coveted po-sition of mayor of Divide in Teller Coun-ty, are running on a platform of honesty in politics.

They want the public’s vote and they want it often. They all promise, all the time. What do they promise? They promise to do absolutely nothing, but that doesn’t mean that these candidates aren’t serious about their candidacy. In this election, every vote will cost the public $1. Every dollar goes toward sup-porting the animals of the Teller County Regional Animal Shelter. The 11 candi-dates for mayor are animals — literally

— and they are running on behalf of their homeless comrades.

This year’s candidates include a fe-line, a donkey, a mustang, a wolf, a hedgehog and six dogs. They encourage everyone to vote often, for as many can-didates as they choose.

Online voting runs through 7 p.m. on April 8. There are also physical voting locations in Teller County.

Visit www.tcrascolorado.com for the photos and bios of the candidates and to cast a vote. TCRAS is a nonprofit, no-kill animal shelter. All donations are tax deductible. This election is all about the animals.

when I retired; that’s why I got a part time job,” said Lee, a lab technician at PPRH.

“With the Affordable Care Act, I don’t have to work quite as long. There are a lot of people in that 60-65 range who can’t get Medicare yet,” she said.

While Lee is insured through Med-icaid, others may qualify for tax cred-its; however, there may be tax conse-

quences in April, Riggle said.Under the ACA, clients have multi-

ple options for coverage; Riggle com-pares the choices to options available for vacation rentals. “You might need three bedrooms, an ocean view and the computer pops up with maybe fi ve options,” she said. “When buying health insurance, you can list what you want the deductible to be, for in-stance,” she said. “Some options may not fall within clients’ parameters.”

In the same building at the medi-cal center, health-care providers at Mountain View Medical Group are already seeing the results of the ACA.

“We’ve seen folks who haven’t had in-surance before,” said Suzanne Roelof, practice manager. “They are fi nally starting to take care of their medical needs.”

The new patients are all ages, in-cluding younger people, she said. “People are putting a value on their health care and taking care of them-selves in the process.”

In Teller County, ACA website help is also available at Community Part-nership Family Resource Center and Peak Vista Community Health. To schedule an appointment with Riggle at the hospital, call 687-2848.

New concept at Your Neighborhood Realty By Pat Hill [email protected]

Same Realtor, different name, Mike Sla-back recently opened Your Neighborhood Realty in Woodland Park.

Formerly with McGinnis/Better Homes and Gardens which later became Real Liv-ing Select Properties, Slaback founded the new business after the death of John Mohr and subsequent closing of the realty of-fi ces.

“John started McGinnis 30 years ago,” he said, adding that Charlie Brown was a partner in the business.

When the space adjacent to the Hun-gry Bear opened up, Slaback and his staff jumped on it. “Walk-in traffi c is great,” he said.

For the agents who work for the compa-ny, Slaback charges each Realtor a fl at $395 per closing. “I felt it was important to give agents the freedom to spend their money as they choose,” Slaback writes in an email. “I can still offer them the benefi ts of work-ing with a company, benefi ts such as a professional offi ce and conference room, signs, collaboration, group advertising and a positive working environment.”

With 60 closings to date, Slaback is bull-ish on the Teller County market. Some of the buyers are with the Charis Bible Col-lege, he said. “They want to buy or rent,” he added.

For information, call 687-2222. Mike Slaback recently opened Your Neighborhood Realty in Woodland Park, From left, are: Stacey Lehner, assistant, Mary Sekowski, Realtor, Debi Main, Realtor, Slaback and Melissa Joy, accountant. Photo by Pat Hill

Hickenlooper touts ‘rigorous’ new oil and gas rules Says air will be cleaner‘than it was before fracking’ By Vic Vela [email protected]

Gov. John Hickenlooper was lauded by energy industry leaders and environmental groups on Feb. 25, two days af-ter a state commission approved sweeping new air pollu-tion rules that will regulate oil and gas activity in the state.

The new rules will make Colorado the fi rst state to im-pose regulations designed to detect and reduce climate-harming methane emissions.

“They are the strongest rules on air pollution ever ad-opted in the U.S.,” said Fred Krupp, the national leader of the Environmental Defense Fund. “It is really a model for the nation.”

The rules, approved by an 8-1 vote of the Colorado Air Quality Commission on Feb. 23, came as a result of Hick-enlooper’s calls for tougher rules aimed at protecting Col-orado’s air.

“We (now) have the most rigorous air and water regula-tions around oil and gas in the country, without question,” the governor said at a Capitol press conference. “I think that goes a long way toward demonstrating to people that this trio of (environmental) nonprofi ts, the (oil and gas) in-dustry, and the government, that if we work hard enough and are willing to make those compromises, we can make real progress.”

Larry Wolk, director of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, said the adoption of the new regulations “truly are a signifi cant achievement.”

Wolk said the new rules will reduce more than 92,000 tons of organic compound emissions annually. The VOC emissions contribute to “ground-level” ozone depletion and smog, which can lead to health affects such as in-creased asthma attacks and respiratory conditions.

The rules will also reduce 60,000 tons of methane emis-sions each year. The natural gas causes a greenhouse effect when it leaks into the atmosphere. In addition, the rules target hydrocarbon emissions that also have ozone and climate change impacts.

The new rules are expected to take effect mid-April. However, Wolk said it will take several years to implement all the regulations. The key will be the installation of infra-red cameras that will be used to detect air pollution at oil and gas sites, he said.

The work in getting the regulations put in place made for strange bedfellows among environmental advocates and those in the energy industry.

“What this is about is smart and cost-effective regula-tions,” said Ted Brown of Noble Energy. “What this is about is making sure that oil and natural gas is developed in the safest way possible.”

Not everyone is in love with the new rules. The Colo-rado Oil and Gas Association argued for softer regulations. However, COGA’s Tisha Schuler, who attended the press conference, said her group is ready to move on.

“We did not get everything we wanted in this rule, but the rule passed so we’re focused on moving forward,” she said. “And we’re going to emphasize how can we imple-ment these rules cost effectively.”

Hickenlooper also used the press conference to main-tain his support of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, in Colorado.

Fracking has received a great deal of attention of late, with fi ve cities in the state having placed some form of ban or limitations on the practice — the state is currently suing the city of Longmont over its voter-approved fracking ban.

Add to that, a potential November ballot initiative would ask Colorado voters to give municipalities the abil-ity to decide for themselves what kinds of activities occur within city limits, including fracking.

The governor, who is a geologist, acknowledged the “friction” surrounding the fracking issue while voicing support of the practice.

“There is a group that wants to ban all hydrocarbons; they want to ban fracking,” he said. “I think what we dem-onstrated (through the new rules) is that we’re going to make the air cleaner than it was before fracking.”

Hickenlooper talked about the often-contentious split estate issues, where dual property ownership can lead to “character of neighborhood versus the value of retire-ment” battles over residents’ and mineral rights.

“These are closely held values that are hard to nego-tiate,” he said. “But in the end, when they’re in confl ict, we’ve got to fi gure out how to negotiate and how to fi nd a compromise.”

Discovery Canyon’s Sam Turner wins state wrestling titleMore than two dozen Tri-Lakes area wrestlers competed at the Pepsi CenterBy Danny [email protected]

It can be argued that the most nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat, high school event in Colorado is the state wrestling champion-ships that take place each year at the Pepsi Center.

Twenty-five Tri-Lakes are grap-plers experienced the thrill-a-minute happenings over the three days last week. In the end, just Discovery Canyon sophomore Sam Turner was crowned cham-pion.

Turner, wrestling in Class 4A at 120 pounds went 4-0 in the tour-nament, capped by a 5-3 victory over Pueblo County’s Chris San-doval.

It was the second time the two had met in a week. Turner came back late to pin Sandoval in the regional finals on Feb. 15.

Turner’s road to the state title was filled with drama. In the semi-finals, he endured a five-minute delay with only four seconds left in triple overtime to finish off Gavril Houston of Elizabeth.

Turner is the second member of his family to win a state title. His older brother, Stevie, won in 2012 as a junior.

Turner was joined by seven Thunder teammates at the state meet. The only other Discovery Canyon wrestler to reach the fi-nals was senior David Traynor (195). But Traynor came up short in his bid, losing to Mead’s Kyle Couch, 7-2.

Couch won the 182 state finals in 2013.

Traynor breezed to his sec-ond finals appearance when he pinned Jaime Ramos Vega at the 3:14 mark in the semifinals.

Also placing for the Thun-der were Spencer Reynolds (113, fourth) and Adrian Mack (170, third).

The Thunder finished sixth as a team with 94.5 points. Broomfield won with 127.5 points.

Woodland Park senior Logan Watters is expected to be the team’s regular catcher this season. He was a stellar outfielder last season when he batted .351 last with a team-leading eight doubles and 24 RBIs. The Panthers were 11-9 and advanced to the first round of the playoffs. File photo

Spring sports season is here for high school teams Woodland Park girls’ soccer team made state playo� s in 2013 By Danny Summers [email protected]

The high school spring sports season will be in full swing this week as Woodland Park and Cripple Creek-Victor teams begin their quests for success.

Cliff Richardson is back for his third sea-son as head coach of the Woodland Park baseball team. Richardson guided the club to an 11-9 record last season and a berth in the state playoffs.

The Panthers open their season this weekend with three games at the Fort Mor-gan Tournament. The Panthers play Ster-ling at 4 p.m. on Friday, followed with a 7 p.m. tilt with Fort Morgan. On Saturday,

Woodland Park plays Brush.The Panthers have a busy fi rst half of

their season with eight games before spring break. They play their home opener March 12 against Sand Creek. It begins a stretch of fi ve consecutive home games Meadow Wood Park.

The Cripple Creek-Victor baseball team will again be coached by Scott Davies. The Pioneers were 0-10 last season. They open their season March 14 at Cotopaxi.

The Woodland Park girls’ soccer team is coming off a successful 2013 campaign in which it posted a 10-5-1 record and a trip to the state playoffs. The Panthers were the No. 30 seed (out of 32 teams in the Class 4A bracket). They lost to Palmer Ridge, 9-1.

Leading the way on offense for the Pan-thers this season are juniors Jenny Sells and Morghan Sieracki. The pair scored 18 and 16 goals, respectively, last season. Sells also added a team-leading 14 assists.

The Panthers are once against coached

by Andrew Pappadakis and open their sea-son March 10 at Falcon. Their fi rst home game is the following day against Mesa Ridge at Meadow Wood Park.

Woodland Par and CC-V will both fi eld track teams again this season.

Woodland Park should be strong again in throws (shot put and discus).

CC-V’s top track athlete is senior Katie Tapia, who has qualifi ed for the state meet in the long jump each of the past three sea-sons. Tapia took the basketball season off so she could better prepare for track.

SIGNING DAYWoodland Park will honor standout vol-

leyball players Carli Vahsholtz and Paloma Juarros during a signing ceremony at the school on March 13 in the school’s library. The event begins at 3:30 p.m.

The two have committed to play volley-ball for Bethany College in Lindsborg, Kan-

sas.Both play club volleyball for Monument-

based Colorado Classix.

USA PRO CYCLING CHALLENGE NEWSIf you don’t know by now, Woodland Park

will be the starting point for Stage 5 of the prestigious USA Pro Cycling Challenge. The event takes place Aug. 22 with some of the top riders in the world descending upon the “City above the Clouds.”

But what you may not know is that Colo-rado Springs will host the Stage 4 circuit race the day before. The entire route, in-cluding the start to fi nish, will be within the city limits of Colorado Springs.

Pro Challenge organizers will announce the route by April 15. Woodland Park Pro Challenge offi cials are keeping a close eye on the proceedings. They want to make sure that the next day’s Woodland Park to Breckenridge stage is well attended.

More than 300 attend Teller Tea Party forum By Sonja Oliver Contributing writer

Teller Tea Party Patriots hosted a U.S. Sen-ate Candidate Forum on Feb. 22 at the Ute Pass Cultural Center in Woodland Park. More than 300 were in attendance at the event which featured conservative viewpoints on various subjects ranging from the country’s economic situation to constitutional issues such as the second amendment.

Some of the candidates who had been welcome but were not in attendance at Sat-urday’s event had either dropped out of the race or could not attend because of prior en-gagements.

Colorado State Sen. Owen Hill, District 10 was not able to attend the forum because of a schedule confl ict but is still in the running to represent the Republican ticket for the U.S. Senate to unseat Democratic Sen. Mark Udall.

As of Feb. 28, Hill’s campaign coordinator Isaiah Hess said “We are fully committed to be in this race. We are absolutely in this race. We are more motivated than ever to carry the banner of liberty.”

Following the Pledge of Allegiance, Amer-ican Conservatives of Color representative David Dorty led the group in prayer.

American Conservatives of Color is a Col-orado Springs-based organization that holds to conservative values and embraces the motto “Truth Transcends Color.”

Candidates Ken Buck and Mark Aspiri were at the forum to fi eld their views as they vied for the Republican nomination to the Senate.

In his opening remarks, Aspiri said he was running for offi ce because he is “concerned about what is happening to this country.”

Aspiri said he was able to speak with all of Colorado’s 136 county commissions and 56 Republican county chairmen. He said only six of the county commissions had been

contacted by a current sitting senator, con-gressman or candidate.

“Leadership is about reaching out and taking (the people’s) concerns to Washing-ton,” Aspiri said.

Regarding Udall, Aspiri noted that Udall, who voted with the Democrat party 98 per-cent of the time, is “part of the problem” in Washington.

“Not only did he not listen to us but he also failed to listen to the voice of the con-stituents who voted him in,” Aspiri said.

“I want to bring your voice to Washing-ton. This is our country at stake,” Aspiri said.

Buck, who was also at the forum gave some insight into his philosophy regard-ing the Republican party saying “We are the party of inclusion” and the goal is to “attract people from across the spectrum.”

Buck spoke of Federal intrusion into ar-eas that he believes are not constitutionally mandated, such as the Department of Edu-cation’s Common Core program and Afford-able Healthcare Act.

“The Federal government cannot act out-side of its’ purview. If it is not a core (fi nan-cial obligation) it should not be funded. We need to take back the soul of this country,” Buck said.

On Feb. 26, Buck announced that he would drop out of the running for the Senate seat following the announcement that Rep. Cory Gardner, R., Colo., has decided to run for that position.

Buck also announced on Wednesday that he is running for Gardner’s congressional seat in the district which is located in the eastern part of the state and noted to lean heavily Republican.

Following Aspiri’s and Buck’s statements, Party of Choice co-founder Andy Peth spoke to attendees regarding the organization’s principle that “Conservatism embraces choices for all people, whereas Liberalism embraces control over the choices of others.”

CCHP o� ers $85K in grants By Sonja Oliver Contributing writer

The city of Cripple Creek is consid-ered a signifi cant historic landmark within the borders of Teller County and has been designated as both a National Historic District and a National Historic Landmark.

Each year, the city offers three grants from its Historic Preservation Depart-ment to address the needs of historic residential, commercial and public structures. The purpose is to promote the educational, cultural, economic and general welfare of the city as a whole.

According to Historic Preservation and Planning Coordinator Kathy Stock-ton, last year’s benefi ciaries included a small historic home located at 404 S. First St. that was in a “threatened” condi-tion before receiving grants in 2012 and 2013 which replaced the roof, chimney, foundation, siding and provided new, historically correct exterior paint.

The project which was undertaken by owners, Mark and Kathy Fleming, was a combination of city grant funds and owner’s funds

In the commercial category, the Gen-eral Store located at 246 E. Bennett Ave. was the recipient of a new roof using 50 percent city grant funds and 50 percent owner matching funds. The new roof solved a problem with ice build-up in the alley behind the store and will keep the historic structure waterproof for many years.

As last year’s Public/Non-Profi t recip-ient, St. Peter’s Chapel, 318 N. Third St., was able to restore the windows on the front façade and the bell tower, complet-ing the restoration of the historic stained glass windows, a multi-year HP grant project. One hundred percent of city funds were used on this showcase of 19th century historic church architecture.

Historic preservationIn recognition of Cripple Creek’s

unique historic signifi cance, the city passed an ordinance in 1991 establish-ing its support of historic preservation

practices for the “protection, enhance-ment, perpetuation and use of structures located within the city limits which re-fl ect elements of the city’s archaeologi-cal, historical, cultural and architectural heritage.”

During this process, the city’s Historic Preservation Department was created to establish “reasonable rules, regulations and guidelines for the enhancement, protection and preservation of the His-toric District sites, structures, objects and areas of historical, cultural, geographical or geological signifi cance located with the city.”

The intent is to “improve, maintain and promote the Cripple Creek com-munity through the preservation and protection of the city’s historic built envi-ronment and its National Historic Land-mark status.” A seven-member commis-sion makes grant decisions based on applicant’s meeting the criteria as de-fi ned each year.

GrantsApplications are available at the

Cripple Creek City Hall, 337 E. Bennett Ave., for requests for city historic grant funds to help with restoration of residen-tial, commercial and public/nonprofi t historic structures located in the City of Cripple Creek and constructed within a specifi c historic period of signifi cance. Criteria and grant amounts for the three grant categories are are as follows: Resi-dential — $40,000. Structures must have been constructed prior to or in the year of 1920; Commercial — $40,000. Struc-tures must have been constructed be-tween 1896–1910; and Public/Non-Profi t — $5,000. Structures must have been constructed between 1896–1910.

Applications for all categories must be submitted between now and Mar. 31. It is recommended that applicants meet with the Historic Preservation Department to discuss their plans prior to submittal of the application. Call 689-3905 to sched-ule an appointment. For additional grant criteria and information, contact Kathy Stockton in the Historic Preservation De-partment at (719) 689-3905.

SALOME’S STARSFOR THE WEEK OF FEb 24, 2014

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Try to say as little as pos-sible about the work you’re doing through the end of the month. Then you can make your announcement and accept your well-deserved plaudits.

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) You face a more dif-ficult challenge than you expected. but with that strong Taurean determination, you should be able to deal with it successfully by week’s end.

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) before you act on your “feelings” about that upcoming decision, it might be wise to do a little fact-checking first. You could be very much surprised by what you don’t find.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) A recent workplace success can open some doors that were previously closed to you. On a personal level, expect to receive some important news from a longtime friend and col-league.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Put your wounded pride aside and do what you must to heal that misunderstanding before it takes a potentially irreversible turn and leaves you regretting the loss of a good friend.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) One way to kick a less-than-active social life into high gear or rebuild an outdated Rolodex file is to throw one of your well-organized get-togethers for friends and associates.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Getting out of an obliga-tion you didn’t really want to take on can be tricky. An honest explanation of the circumstances can help. Next time, pay more attention to your usually keen instincts.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Use your Scorpion logic to push for a no-nonsense approach to a per-plexing situation. This could help keep present and potential problems from creating more confusion.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) A friend’s prob-lem might take more time than you want to give. but staying with it once again proves the depth of your Sagittarian friendship and loyalty.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) The Sea Goat can benefit from an extra dose of self-confidence to unsettle your detractors, giving you the advantage of putting on a strong presentation of your position.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) You might want to ask a friend or relative for advice on an ongoing per-sonal matter. but be careful not to give away informa-tion you might later wish you had kept secret.

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Use the weekend for a creativity break to help restore your spiritual energy. Once that’s done, you’ll be back and more than ready to tackle whatever challenge you need to face.

BORN THIS WEEK: You get great joy out of creat-ing beautiful things and sharing them with others who appreciate them.
