Council hears Pro-Challenge recap Group approves resolution accepting funds for a U.S. 24 tra� c study By Norma Engelberg Contributing writer

With only one resolution, one appointment and no ordinances on its Sept. 18 meeting agen-da, Woodland Park City Coun-cil heard several presentations. These included an update from Mike Perini on the USA Pro Chal-lenge Cycling Race Stage 5 Start on Aug. 22 in Woodland Park and an update from Downtown De-velopment Authority CEO and Economic Development Director Brian Fleer.

First, however, Mayor Neil Levy accepted a special poster/plaque from the Above the Clouds Cruis-ers Club acknowledging the city’s continued help with the Cruise Above the Clouds Car Show. Later Levy accepted an appointment to the Utilities Advisory Board.

Perini said the race brought 8,000 to 10,000 spectators to Woodland Park and prompted Pro Challenge CEO and co-chair Shawn Hunter to say during an interview on 850 KOA radio show that Woodland Park had the big-gest crowd he had ever seen.

“We were mentioned in media around the world,” Perini said. “That kind of promotion is price-less.”

During the 2013 budget sea-son, City Manager David Buttery asked for $65,000 from to bring the start to Woodland Park.

“I underestimated the cost,” he said. “The total expenses were $152,000. We made $62,000 in di-rect revenues and spent $90,000.”

He added that most of expen-ditures went to local businesses and that many these goods pur-

chased are reusable. Donations from 25 partners, including Wal-Mart, Peak Internet, UPS and the Woodland Park Chamber of Com-merce, also helped defray costs. The indirect revenues, including sales taxes, have not yet been cal-culated.

Of course, it didn’t help that the weather was the worst in the race’s four-year history.

“Mother Nature is not a cy-clist,” Perini said. “The bottom line is about exposure, about a moment in time, you can’t put a price on that. One youth summed it up when he said ‘My town is fi -

nally cool!’”There will be a “Hot Wash”

meeting with Pro Challenge of-fi cials on Oct. 22 at the Ute Pass Cultural Center.

Council approved a resolution to accept an $80,000 Colorado Department of Transportation grant to conduct a traffi c study of U.S. 24 through town. The city’s match is $13,768. The study is ex-pected to take six to nine months.

Councilmember Gary Brovetto said he hopes the study will come up ways to make the city more pe-destrian friendly.

“That’s what we anticipate but

we’ll have to wait and see,” said Public Works Director William Alspach. “The study will look at different routes … there might be things we can do ourselves.”

During public comment, Tom Lichina, owner of Lichina Auto-motive, told council he will not improve drainage at his site even though that was a condition of the conditional use permit he re-ceived at the Sept. 4 meeting al-lowing him to expand.

“That’s not in my budget,” he said. “This is the worst Park Street has ever been; people are parking on both sides and have turned it into a one-lane street. It would only cost you $20,000 to fi ll in the ditch and give me back the parking you stole from me when Woodland Hardware went in.”

Buttery said the city didn’t steal his parking because the public parking lot that was lo-cated across the street wasn’t his. He explained that other city public parking lots are located on private land because the city has an agreement with the property owners. Because of that agree-ment, the property owners do not have designated parking within these lots.

Alspach said the city hasn’t al-located funds to fi ll the ditch be-cause Park is just one section of nearly 55 miles of streets the city manages.

“I deserve that ditch to be fi lled in,” Lichina said.

Councilmember Bob Carlsen said he would bring up the sub-ject at budget hearings this fall and see what can be done about it.

Carlsen said a public informa-tion meeting is planned for Oct. 6 at the Ute Pass Cultural Center on the aquatic center bond ques-tion on the November ballot and

WP plant expansion ready to go Project will take three years, cost $8.2M By Norma Engelberg Contributing writer

The loans are guaranteed and a con-sultant has been hired but there won’t be much to see at least until 2016 now that Woodland Park has embarked on its waste-water treatment plant expansion project.

City Utilities Director Kip Wiley and John McGinn, of JDS-Hydro Consultants Inc., conducted a public meeting on Sept. 17 to explain the process for expanding and updating the city’s 20-year-old plant. Unfortunately, with the exception of a few city offi cials, the public was notably ab-sent.

McGinn said the existing plant was ex-tremely well planned but wastewater con-ditions and regulations have changed dur-ing the past two decades.

One change is growth, which has in-creased wastewater’s organic load even as water conservation has lowered its hy-draulic component.

“This is happening in many Front Range communities,” McGinn said. “Your plant does really well on organic loading.”

The existing plant is working at 111 per-cent of capacity for organic loading and is still meeting state clean-wastewater stan-dards, Wiley said. Other communities are not doing as well, McGinn added.

Other changes come from the state in

the form of new and pending legislation.“Wastewater treatment regulations al-

ways change and they never get easier; they’re always more stringent,” McGinn said. “Technology also advances – there are better ways to clean up wastewater.”

In the past, wastewater treatment has focused on organic materials, but now the focus is also on nutrient removal, fi rst ni-trogen and then, by 2022, phosphorus.

“That’s what’s around the corner in the wastewater world,” McGinn said, adding that the expansion will also take advantage of new ultraviolet technology that does away with the use of chlorine and sulfur dioxide gases for disinfection.

McGinn said a preliminary engineering report was conducted in 2008 when Jim Schultz was the utilities director. At that time, the plant was performing well and the plans for expansion were put on hold. Now, six years later, a new preliminary en-gineering study has been conducted and submitted to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, which has given its approval.

Through its revolving loan fund, which is administered by state health, Colorado has guaranteed the $8.2 million loan the city will take out to complete the project. Because of its “green” component, $2 mil-lion of the loan will be interest free; the other $6.2 million will likely have an inter-est rate of no more than 3.5 percent. Debt repayment should take 20 years.

Wiley said the expansion should have no impact on rates. “We’ll review rates again in fi ve years,” he added.

Expansion timeline and componentsThe fi nal design contract should be

awarded by city council in November. Site approval is set for February by the city with comments from state health. The process design report should be fi nished in May and plans and specifi cations will be sub-mitted to the state in July. The city should receive comments from state health next September. The fi nal plan should go to bid

in November/December 2015 and should be awarded the following February. Most of the construction should be completed by August 2016 but fi nishing up will likely go into 2017, McGinn said.

The expansion will have seven compo-nents:

But each year, southern Colorado tackles those threats with some of the greatest suc-cesses in land and water conservation – successes that are championed by people who devote their lives to the protection this unique region by making innova-tive, educational and advancing strides to ensure a sustainable future. On Oct. 16,

Palmer Land Trust will honor fi ve of these conservation trendsetters at the SCCA.

El Paso County Commission names ‘Creek Week’Sta� report

The Board of El Paso County Commis-sioners at its regular meeting on Thursday approved a proclamation proclaiming Sept. 27 through Oct. 5, as “Creek Week” in El Paso County, and encouraged all citi-zens to help protect, restore and maintain the waterways by participating in “Creek Week” activities.

“Creek Week” is a week-long; clean-up effort that begins at the Colorado Sustain-ability Conference on Sept. 27 and runs through Oct. 5 with a special added proj-ect on Oct. 11 in Fountain Creek Regional

Park.“Citizens of El Paso County are blessed

with extensive and diverse natural resourc-es, including forests, grasslands, riparian areas, lakes, creeks and a wide variety of open spaces,” said Chair Dennis Hisey as he read the proclamation into the record.

“Fountain Creek, along with its tributar-ies and related wetlands, trails, and recre-ational opportunities, is an important re-source and asset to the people of El Paso, Teller and Pueblo counties.”

“This is something that affects the en-tire community,” Hisey added.

Citizens can either join a public clean-

up or lead their own group or individual effort.

“We believe in good stewardship of our parks and waterways,” said Commissioner Sallie Clark. “We have an incredible volun-teer base. It’s a water quality issue, and it is a quality of life issue.”

The Fountain Creek Watershed Flood Control and Greenway District is partner-ing with El Paso County, City of Colorado Springs, the Trails and Open Space Coali-tion, and other organizations on “Creek Week” to promote cleanup, restoration and maintenance of the Fountain Creek water-shed. Area businesses, churches, schools,

nonprofits, neighborhood associations, youth groups, service clubs and individu-als are encouraged to form a “Creek Crew” to assist at a “Creek Week” project site: Pick a work date, pick a location, and pick it up.

To register for events in Fountain Creek Regional Park, contact [email protected]. Information, including “Creek Crew” registration details, can be found at fountain-crk.org under the Creek Week Cleanup icon. Keep America Beauti-ful and Lowes awarded a $20,000 Commu-nity Beautification grant to support “Creek Week” activities.

Tularemia found in wild rabbit in northeast Colorado SpringsSta� report

El Paso County Public Health con-firmed Tuesday, Sept. 16, that a wild rabbit in northeast Colorado Springs died of tula-remia infection, and are asking residents to remain cautious around wild animals.

The rabbit was tested after a resident in the Park Vista subdivision, located near Austin Bluffs Parkway and Stetson Hills Boulevard, found several dead wild rabbits near a property and notified Public Health.

Laboratory tests confirmed the animal died of tularemia, also known as “rabbit fever.”

Tularemia was also confirmed in wild rabbits near Yoder, in eastern El Paso County, in late August. No human cases of infection have been reported. Public health specialists continue to monitor tularemia activity, and are providing public -health information to residents in the area.

Residents who find dead animals, es-pecially wild rabbits, on their property are advised to dispose of animals by taking the following steps: apply insect repellent, wear gloves, and use a shovel to place the remains in a double trash bag. Dispose in a trash receptacle. Wash hands well with warm soapy water.

“Because tularemia is endemic in El Paso County, precautions to prevent tula-remia infection should always be taken,” said Program Manager Lee Griffen, REHS. “Now that tularemia is confirmed in more populated, urban areas, it’s important to take steps to protect pets and children by keeping them away from wild animals.”

Tularemia is a bacterial infection most commonly transmitted to humans by the handling of sick or dead animals infected with tularemia. Infection can also arise from the bite of infected insects, most commonly ticks and deer flies. Hunt-

ers who skin animals without gloves and are exposed to infected blood through an open wound are also at risk.

Typical signs of infection in humans are similar to plague and include fever, chills, headache, muscle aches, chest pain and coughing. Tularemia can be effectively treated with antibiotics. Those who have any of these early signs are urged to con-tact their medical provider. El Paso Coun-ty’s last reported human case of tularemia occurred in 2010.

Dogs and cats also get tularemia by eat-ing infected rabbits or other rodents and through tick and deer fly bites. If one’s pet shows symptoms of illness including fever, nasal and eye discharge and skin sores, owners are advised to take it to the veterinarian promptly. Tularemia is easily treated if diagnosed early in dogs and cats.

Recommended precautions include:Do not handle sick animals. If a dead

animal must be moved, follow the steps outlined above.

Leash pets when outdoors and keep them away from dead animals. When out-doors near places where wild rabbits or ro-dents are present, wear an insect repellent containing DEET. Wear proper footwear outdoors where dead animals have been found.

Routinely use a tick and flea preventa-tive on pets. Avoid mowing over dead ani-mals.

Those who hunt, trap or skin animals can take these additional steps: Use im-pervious gloves when skinning or handling animals, especially rabbits. Cook the meat of wild rabbits thoroughly to a tempera-ture of 165 degrees or higher.

Urology clinic opens at PPRHSeptember is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month

By Pat [email protected]

First up was the 15-bed hospital dedi-cated Oct. 1, 2007, in Woodland Park. As time went by, Pikes Peak Regional Hos-pital added physicians while expanding health services.

This month, Pikes Peak Urology opened an office in the hospital building to see pa-tients once a month.

“As we have seen the city grow and the hospital develop we wanted to expand and provide a service that is lacking,” said Richard Walsh, M.D. “We have quite a few patients from Teller County and obviously would like to shorten their travel time.”

A fitting announcement last week, as September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. “We educate our patients on the importance of screening,” Walsh said.

For men between the ages of 55 and 70, Walsh recommends annual screenings. “If they have a family history we’d broaden that age range,” he said.

The clinic offers pediatric and adult urology services, including robotic sur-gery, radiation therapy and vasectomy. As well, the physicians treat female voiding dysfunction. “That’s the broad spectrum of what we do,” he said. “Nearly a third of what urology does is female-related.”

The physicians start seeing patients in October. For an appointment, call 531-7007.

Moody named outstanding trustee Woman recognized by state library associationBy Pat [email protected]

Sylvia Moody has been named Out-standing Library Trustee by the Colorado Association of Libraries. Moody, board chair of the Rampart Library District since 2011, was instrumental in bringing to fruition the new libraries in Woodland Park and Florissant.

“Sylvia served on the development, election and building committees,” said Anne Knowles, executive director of the Rampart Range Library District. “The ideas had to be developed, community surveys done, public opinions changed, funds raised, land obtained, buildings designed, 2 mill levies passed and Sylvia was front-and-center on this.”

Voracious reader whose interest in education propelled her service to the library, Moody is a 17-year volunteer, beginning in the little log cabin, the original location of the Woodland Park library.

When the new libraries opened in 2004, Moody joined the district’s board of directors.

In addition to the library district, Moody served on the Ute Pass Sympho-ny Guild, the board of directors of the Holiday Home Tour and the Westwood Lakes Homeowners’ Association.

“Sylvia has been a strong and hands-on leader to all the organizations she has been a part of in Teller County. She has

had a significant and positive impact in our community and she will be sorely missed,” said Sandy King, who is taking over as board chair.

Sylvia and her husband, Bob, are mov-ing this month to Henderson, Nev. to be closer to their daughter Tracy, who is a script supervisor in Los Angeles.

Moody plans to accept the award at the Colorado Association of Libraries Conference Oct. 17 in Loveland. “I’m so pleased,” she said.

Volunteers launch community gardenBy Pat [email protected]

A fitting celebration for Local Food Week, volunteers built 12 raised beds for a community garden Sept. 17 at Woodland Park Community Church.

Winter is coming, but the volunteers have their eye on next year’s planting sea-son. For pre-school students who attend the Learning Center at the church, the garden will double as an educational ex-perience in the gifts of the earth – with the payoff all those fresh vegetables.

A portion of the fresh produce will be donated to the Community Cupboard.

The garden is a collaboration of The Harvest Center, the church and the Com-munity Partnership Family Resource Cen-ter. Foxworth-Galbraith donated the wood for the beds.

Yellowing Pine needles normal in autumnSta� report

Although thousands of evergreen trees along the southern Front Range are be-ginning to display dying yellow or brown needles, most are simply going through a natural shedding process – and are not in-fested by bark beetles or tree disease.

“Fall needle cast is usually brought on by seasonal changes and weather events. We commonly see conifers shed their needles in September and October,” said Michael Till, forester at the Colorado State

Forest Service Woodland Park District.Every autumn, many Colorado ev-

ergreen tree species shed some of their older, interior needles as part of an annual growth cycle.

Needles on the lower portion of the crowns or closest to the trunk are most commonly shed, but trees stressed be-cause of drought or root damage may shed more needles to keep the tree in balance with its root system. Soon-to-be shed nee-dles typically turn yellow first, then a red-dish-brown color before dropping off; very

small branches with few needles on them also may die.

In the CSFS Woodland Park District, which includes El Paso, Teller and Park counties, conifer species that commonly shed needles in the fall include ponderosa pine, douglas fir and Colorado blue spruce.

Evergreen trees that shed fall needles have a different appearance than trees infested by bark beetles. The needles on a beetle-infested tree typically change color throughout the entire tree, initially starting with an off shade of green and turning to

reddish-orange by the following summer. In addition to changing needle color, bark beetle-infested trees will show other signs of attack, such as fine sawdust at the base of the tree.

The seasonal discoloration and loss of pine needles frequently is called “needle cast,” but the term also refers to a fungal disease of spruce and fir trees.

For more information about tree and forest health, contact the CSFS Woodland Park District at 719-687-2951 or visit csfs.colostate.edu.

Robert Jackson’s photo one of the most famous in history

If you’ve read any of my previous col-umns, you know I am very intrigued with former President John F. Kennedy and the many odd coincidences that bring us together. It’s more like a “two degrees of separation” with me and JFK.

I’ve watched about every television documentary and movie regarding JFK and his assassination, which took place Nov 22, 1963. I was a little over fi ve months old at the time he was shot by Lee Harvey Oswald.

Ten months after JFK’s assassination the Warren Commission Report - on Sept. 27, 1964 — was issued stating a lone gun-man had been responsible for the assas-sination of JFK. That lone gunman, the report said, was Oswald.

I also am convinced Oswald is the only person who fi red at the President that day.

Whether or not Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, the Soviets, the mob or anyone else had a hand with the assassination is some-thing most of us will likely never know.

Of course, the Oswald saga did not end with the shooting with JFK, or with his murder of Dallas police offi cer J.D. Tippit - about an hour after he killed Kennedy.

On Nov. 24, 1963, about 48 hours after

he assassinated Kennedy, Oswald himself was killed by a lone gunman named Jack Ruby. That historic moment was seen on live television by millions of Americans. Several photographers also took very good photos of the event.

But the most famous of all the photos showing Ruby shooting Oswald was taken by current Manitou Springs resident Rob-ert “Bob” Jackson, who was then working for the Dallas Times Herald.

Just 29 years old at the time, Jackson telephoned his editors shortly after the shooting and told them he thought he had “some pretty good photos” of Ruby shooting Oswald. As it turned out, Jack-son’s photo won him a Pulitzer Prize that included $1,000 cash award.

Following his tenure at the Times Herald, Jackson worked for the Denver Post and the Gazette-Telegraph. He retired from the Gazette in 1999 — two years before I joined the staff.

Jackson, now 80, still gets calls for in-terviews about those historic three days in Dallas 51 years ago.

Jackson was a general beat photogra-pher for the Dallas Times Herald in 1963 and covered the arrival of Kennedy and fi rst lady Jackie Kennedy at Love Field - in Dallas via Forth Worth - and followed them on the motorcade traveling Dallas streets.

Jackson took photos of the Kennedys as they worked a crowd at the airport, and he then photographed well-wishers on the motorcade route minutes later.

Jackson, while between rolls of fi lm, has said many times that he witnessed a rifl e being pulled back from the sixth fl oor of the Texas School Book Depository Build-ing, which was allegedly Oswald’s perch.

Interestingly, following a hectic day on Friday, Nov. 22, Jackson was given the day

E� ort hopes to honor Bu� alo Soldiers for helping tame West

This weekend I was asked to drop by a fundraising event at Jim Wider’s South-winds Fine Art Studio at Roller Coaster Road near where Hodgen and Baptist road connect.

Being historically inclined, three things captured my attention.

One, the invitation concerned a fund-raiser for the Buffalo Soldier Community Memorial Project, which has a relatively obscure, but important impact on our his-tory locally, and Colorado generally.

Two, the invite promised that the site would also have several fascinating Ute Indian Prayer Trees located on, or nearby, the property.

And three, the invitation came from former El paso County Sheriff John Anderson, who has just fi nished a book about the signifi cance of local Ute prayer trees and is working on another historic account of El Paso County’s fi rst sheriff. Anderson began the fi rst book in the inter-est of preservation of remaining prayer trees after the Black Forest Fire.

This event was raising money with the

expressed purpose of building a memo-rial (bronze statue) to Buffalo Soldiers in the northeast corner of Memorial Park in 2016, in time to mark 150th anniversary of Congress authorizing the establishment of the Negro regiments.

Host Jim Wider, gallery owner and a nationally recognized artist, displayed several outstanding paintings of the Buf-falo Soldiers and artwork of other local artists, including a few of John Anderson’s oil paintings and art photography.

“After the Civil War, Congress autho-rized the establishment of six Negro regiments in the summer 1866. They

recognized the military merits of blacks by authorizing two segregated regiments of black cavalry, the Ninth United States Cav-alry and the Tenth United States Cavalry and the 38TH, 39TH, 40TH and 41ST In-fantry Regiments, “ says Dennis R. Moore, working on the project since inception.

“Orders were given to transfer the troops to the western war arena, where they would join the Army’s fi ght against the hostile Native Americans. In the 1869 troop reduction the 38th, 39th, 40th and 41st Infantry Regiments were consolidated into the 24th and 25th Infantry Regi-ments. The 9th and 10th Cavalry and 24th and 25th Infantry Regiments Soldiers were called Buffalo Soldiers by the Na-tive Americans, some say because of the tenacity with which they fought, some say it was because of the texture of their hair reminded them of the Buffalo.”

Moore notes that elements of the 10th Cavalry were stationed at Fort Lyons, and

OBITUARIES

troops of the 9th Cavalry were at Fort Garland Colorado. These largely un-known soldiers assisted civil authorities in controlling mobs, pursued outlaws, cattle thieves, and even Mexican revolutionaries along the U.S. Mexican border. Addition-ally, these soldiers served as the first US Border Patrol, rode “shotgun” on stage coaches, and delivered mail longer than the Pony Express. Their outposts were lo-cated in Arizona, Colorado, both Dakotas, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming. Buffalo Soldiers were also involved in nu-merous confrontations with hostile Native Americans. Among the most famous con-frontations are: Beecher’s Island in Yuma County; Milk Creek in Northern Colorado; and the White River Reservation.

Several Buffalo Soldiers were awarded

the Medal of Honor for bravery in combat, Moore says.

off on Nov. 23.But he was on duty Nov. 24 and was

assigned to cover the transfer of Oswald from the Dallas Police Department to the Dallas County Jail. The transfer of Oswald was supposed to happen at 9:30 a.m. Jack-son’s editors told him that after he took photos of that event, he was supposed to go to his next assignment; to cover Nellie Connally’s press conference. Connally and her husband, Texas Gov. John Connally, were passengers with the Kennedys in the presidential limousine the day of the assassination.

Gov. Connally was seriously wounded. Nellie Connally and Jackie Kennedy were not injured. Connally’s press conference was set for 10:30 a.m.

As the time ticked past 9:30, Jackson and others of the media became impatient as they waited in the police department basement. Jackson placed a call to his city desk to learn the reason of the delay. He was told that the police were “not in any hurry.”

Jackson’s superiors still wanted him to cover the Connally press conference, but Jackson said he was not leaving his spot in the basement of the police station.

Finally, about 11:15 a.m., word came to the media that the police were to move Oswald in five minutes. He was to be transported in an unmarked car, brought into the basement via the ramp from out-side. Jackson pre-focused his camera to a little more than 10 feet.

All of the sudden a man in a dark suit jumped in Jackson’s way. It was Ruby, a Dallas night club/strip club owner and self-proclaimed devoted Kennedy ad-mirer.

“He took two steps and fired, and I fired,” Jackson has said on many occa-sions.

This all happened at 11:21 a.m.Jackson wound his camera and shot

again and again. Jackson shot photos of the Dallas police wrestling Ruby to the floor, and then later of Oswald being put onto a stretcher and into an ambulance that was brought into the basement.

Oswald died about an hour later. Ironi-cally, he was taken to the same hospital - Parkland — that JFK was taken after he was shot by Oswald.

The Warren Commission called Jackson as a witness during its investigation. He testified mainly about seeing a rifle pulled from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository building on Nov. 22.

Jackson maintains to this day that Oswald acted alone.

What do you think?

Question of the day for parents with school childrenHere’s the question of the day for those

parents who have children in our pub-lic school system. Is your child playing at least one organized sport during the school year?

According to the Aspen Institute’s Proj-ect Play, of the estimated 51 million U.S. children ages 6 to 17, about 27.4 million participate in a sport. Of those, only 15.7 million play on a regular basis.

If those stats are true, that potentially categorizes 70 percent of America’s youth as sedentary. Is that your child?

The President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports reports that 10 percent of toddlers between the ages of 2 and 5 are overweight. And, for the first time ever, physicians are reporting the onset of Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, once thought to be age-relat-ed diseases, in our country’s children and adolescents.

With the Kaiser Family Foundation contending that the average child and teen spends 4 hours a day in front of the

television and another 2 hours in front of their computer playing video games every day, the fact that America’s youth are sedentary pudge-balls should come as no surprise. In one research study, when a child was asked why he didn’t play outside he responded, “Because there are no elec-trical outlets.”

Here are some tips gleaned from numerous websites on how to get your children moving.

Start early. From ages 2 to 5, focus on improving your child’s basic movement skills by catching, rolling, bouncing and

kicking a ball. Get you kid jumping, hop-ping, skipping, running and pedaling a tricycle.

Experts recommend that from ages 5 to 8 you should enroll your child in non-competitive sports or group movement classes. A wide range of physical experi-ences will help your child figure out what he or she likes and dislikes.

After the age of 8, a parent’s job of keeping their children physically active becomes more challenging. Not every kid is into sports but that doesn’t mean they should be glued to a TV or computer.

If your child isn’t drawn to organized sports, look to other activities like danc-ing, rock climbing, swimming or martial arts. Don’t be afraid to join in the game, kids love it when their parents play with them.

Be sure to lead by example. If you’re vegetating in front of the TV with the re-mote in one hand and a bag of chips in the other, you’ll lose credibility.

Offer positive feedback by praising

your child when they accomplish a physi-cal goal. Kids who aren’t naturally athletic may be self-conscious about their lack of physical skills and fearful of public embar-rassment … be supportive.

Make sure to establish a regular routine so your children’s fitness is plugged into the family schedule the same way as their school commitments and chores. Fitness should be part of the fabric of your fam-ily’s life.

And finally, take a non-negotiable position. Going to school, brushing your teeth or wearing a seat belt isn’t a subject of debate in your home? Neither should exercise.

LETTERS TO THE EDITORDear editor:

My opponent makes the following claims on his website and in his video:

“Mandated subdivision patrols in which office averages 1500 monthly.”

“We’ve increased subdivision patrols with hundreds per month. As a result, burglaries and crimes against properties have decreased dramatically.”

Unfortunately, these claims cannot be backed up with actual data:

Per the Teller County Property Record database, there are almost 375 subdivi-sions in Teller County. 1500/375 means that a patrol officer visits a subdivision four times per month on average. How often do you see a sheriff’s deputy in your subdivision?

Have these increased patrols been ef-fective? The Colorado Bureau of Investiga-tions report crime statics every year for each agency in Colorado: crimeinco.cbi.state.co.us

Based on this data (an in-depth analysis is available on my website: mark4change.com), the reported burglar-ies for 2010-2013 breaks down as follows: 41 in2010, 36 in 2011, 29 in 2012, and 42 in 2013. The rate of larceny/theft breaks down as follows: 40 in 2010, 47 in 2011, 48 in 2012, and 44 in 2013.

As you can see, the increased patrols have had no impact on reported burglary

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Homecoming parade brings out hundreds By Norma Engelberg Contributing writer

Woodland Park High School home-coming week kicked off on Sept. 15 with a Spirit Assembly but the town businesses were already wearing their homecoming spirit on their windows with help from students.

In the middle of Spirit Week the en-tire school district turned out for the homecoming parade down Midland Avenue, which the Colorado Depart-ment of Transportation closed for the occasion. The parade had cheer-leaders, the school’s award-winning marching band, all the teams, students from all of the elementary schools and the middle school and vehicles from local law enforcement agencies and fi re departments. The WPHS bonfi re at followed the parade at Gateway Elementary School.

Spirit Week ended with another assembly on Sept. 19, along with an

alumni tea, a tailgate party and, of course, the big homecoming football game against Sierra High School.

The Woodland Park High School Marching Band struts its stu� through downtown Woodland Park at the beginning of the annual WPHS Homecoming Parade on Sept. 17. See additional photos on Page 11. Photos by Norma Engelberg

The Woodland Park High School volleyball team rides on a big wagon in the Homecoming Parade on Sept. 17. The softball team came in a boat.

WPHS celebrates homecoming with spirit

or larceny/theft crimes in Teller County. Furthermore, the data shows that the overall rate of reported crimes (around 150) has been fl at since 2009 with a sudden in-crease 2011 (216) just to return to around 150 in 2012 and 2013. My opponent’s policies had absolutely no impact on crime in Teller County! He has not made you safer.

Even worse, my opponent’s administration has not been able to solve major crimes that have plagued our county the last few years. For example, the arsonist that terrorized Teller County still remains at large, Teller Coun-ty now has its fi rst cold-case homicide in decades, and the bomb threat against the Cripple Creek courthouse was never solved.

I plan to address the above issues by introducing com-munity orienting policing techniques to the Teller County Sheriff’s Offi ce and by changing the overall image of the agency. An immediate step will be to return the offi cer uniform to the traditional green and tan uniform.

Also, we will change the usage of SWAT to a last resort resource rather than a fi rst response resource as seen with my opponent’s administration. Pictures of my opponent typically show him with individuals dressed in threaten-ing paramilitary garb rather than with the average com-munity member.

But, community oriented policing is much more than just changing the look of our offi cers and the proper use of SWAT. In this system, law enforcement emphasizes community partnerships and community involvement.

Example: Crime data might show that a subdivi-sion has issues with burglaries. In such a situation, my organization will work with members of different sub-divisions to determine what issues are of most concern. Through such interactions, we might learn that the big issue is related to meth labs, which is leading to the burglaries. Therefore, our resources should be prioritized

on addressing the meth lab situation. Community input is crucial when making priority calls like shown in this example.

Community Oriented Policing emphasizes problem solving techniques in a multistep process that consists of: identifying and prioritizing problems, researching what’s known about the problems, developing solutions that bring about lasting reductions in the number and extent of problems, evaluation of the success of responses and so on. In other words: community oriented policing is not about mandating meaningless activities to improve statistics, like counting subdivision patrols. Instead, com-munity oriented policing depends on true community partnerships and building relationships.

As you may have seen during my campaign, members of my team and I have been out talking with as many people in our community as possible. We will continue to meet with you when I am elected sheriff. If you want discuss issues or ask questions, then please give me a call at my personal phone number 719-322-1284.

Teller County deserves – and should demand – better law enforcement that it getting with my opponent. You can change this. Please vote on Nov. 4. I respectfully ask for your vote so that we together can bring positive and professional law enforcement to Teller County.

Thank you,Mark Manriquez, unaffi liated candidate, Teller County

Sheriff

Dear editor:I was surprised to read Miss Jineen McWherter’s invita-

tion to a meeting at the Divide Community Center. If you were serious about your invitation, you would have called and personally invited me to join you at this event.

I would have politely refused and apprised you of a tactic written by Sun Tzu, 2,200 years ago, in which he

said, “When your opponent is making a fool of them-selves, stay out of their way.”

I will now give you some information that can be checked and verifi ed since it is a part of the public record, unlike yours, which is fi ctitious. Our beloved Sheriff Ens-minger does not equivocate when he tells us that:

The crime rate in Teller County is at an all-time low.Sub-Division Patrols have increased resulting in lower

burglaries and property crimes.There is a reduction in juvenile related offenses due to

the Sheriff’s Juvenile Diversion Program.Our beloved Sheriff was selected by a democrat gov-

ernor to sit on the Colorado State Child Fatality Review Board. While on this statewide board, Sheriff Ensminger has seen domestic violence and child fatalities decrease signifi cantly.

Your silly statements that there is a high turnover rate in the Sheriff’s department is negated by the fact that Teller County has one of the lowest turnover rates nationwide the average turnover rate is 14 percent. Teller County’s turnover rate is 13.89 percent.

Facts Matter!Keith McKim

Dear editor:

This letter is in regard to the Teller County Sheriffs race. This week I spoke with a gentleman at my offi ce about the upcoming election. He asked me why I had re-elect Mike Ensminger signs posted at our business.

I told him that Mike was the only qualifi ed person run-ning for the job! Mike is the only one, in this race, who has graduated from high school and college and has taught law enforcement, at the college level, for more than 25 years.

Mike is a man of integrity, he is the same man in pri-vate as he is in his public job. Most importantly, he speaks the truth. When he’s wrong, he’ll be the fi rst to admit it.

Many things that have been said and written, about Mike by the Manriquez side, are absolutely wrong! If Manriquez were a man of integrity, he would have stopped the lies. Several weeks ago his supporters wrote that Sheriff Ensminger, “at his discretion” had revoked more concealed carry permits than any other sheriff, more than10 percent. Here are the facts: In 2013 over 680 permits were issued and signed by the sheriff, 12 were revoked. Of those 12, none were discretionary, all were mandatory revocations under law. Hardly the “over 10 percent” that the Manriquez clan is alleging.

The Manriquez side has also repeatedly stated that the sheriff has mismanaged the county jail. Again, here are the facts: Sheriff Ensminger has improved the manage-ment of the county jail and has increased the revenue by 70 percent!

If the Manriquez supporters think that Mark is the man for change, just what kind of change do they want? Mark says he’ll support the unconstitutional laws that will take away our guns. He will also eliminate the county swat team. He says that he’s supported by the fraternal order of police. Is he planning to unionize the sheriff’s department? If Mark is so qualifi ed to be sheriff why is he still a low-level gaming offi cer in Cripple Creek? Why wasn’t he even considered for an interview when he applied for the Cripple Creek police chief job? The kind of change that Mark Manriquez wants to bring to Teller County is certainly not what we want!

We need the kind of leadership that Mike Ensminger has brought these past four years with honesty and in-tegrity. Crime rates in Teller County are at an all-time low. The county jail is run responsibly.

Most importantly, with Sheriff Ensminger, our consti-tutional rights are respected and defended.

That’s why I have re-elect Mike Ensminger signs posted at our offi ce, and that’s why I’m asking you to vote for Mike.

David Rusterholtz, Florissant

A healthier way to raise funds in WPFor the Courier

Rather than selling coupon books, candy, or magazines, all three elementary schools in the Woodland Park School Dis-trict are raising funds a healthier way this year. Students are asking for monetary pledges to sponsor them for a walk/run-a-thon.

The first event was a Walk-A-Thon at Columbine Elementary on Sept. 16. This is Columbine’s annual fall fundraiser to raise funds that directly support the school.

“The Walk-a-Thon raises money while celebrating and strengthening the school’s values,” said Veronica Wolken, Columbine’s principal. “A joyful day outdoors, walking and running alongside classmates, teach-ers, families, and friends, inspires active and healthy living. At the same time, every penny raised supports Columbine’s strate-gic goals, without having our children sell merchandise for outside vendors. This way, 100 percent of donations stay here, bene-fiting every child.”

Columbine students of all grade lev-els walk/jog/run around a 1/8-mile track, completing as many laps as possible in 30 minutes. Last year, they walked just over 714 miles and raised more than $14,000.

Second in line is Gateway Elementary. Gateway is holding a Fun’d Run on Sept. 26 at the Woodland Park High School track. The day will include an obstacle course, energizing music and an appearance by the school mascot.

“The purpose of the Fun’d Run is to promote wellness while raising money for field trips and school programs,” said Kay Lynn Waddell, Gateway’s principal. “We maintain an annual commitment of pro-viding every student at Gateway with a free field trip each year. Every penny collected will go directly to all students in preschool through fifth, including students in the Cottage School and online programs.”

Summit Elementary will hold its Walk-A-Thon on Oct. 8 in conjunction with Na-tional Walk/Bike to School Day. Since the

school is located off U.S. Highway 24 in Divide, it is difficult for students to walk or bike to school. The Walk-A-Thon has the added benefit of allowing Summit students to participate in the national event.

“The point and purpose of our Walk-A-Thon is to get all the kids moving and participating while the funds raised go directly to our school,” said Katie Rexford, the school’s principal.

To make a donation, visit each school website for more information at wpsdk12.org.

It’s back to the old days when students ran around during recess to throw o� some of that unquench-able energy. By combining running and walking Sept. 16, students at Columbine Elementary School raised money for their school.

City of Cripple Creek wins transit award By Pat Hill [email protected]

Ted Schweitzer and the city of Cripple Creek received the Small Transit Agency of the Year award this month.

“This is a performance award for milestones in ridership for the Cripple Creek/Victor shuttle,” said Schweitzer, the city’s transporta-tion manager.

The Gold Camp Connector pro-vides shuttle service for residents of southern Teller County for a variety of reasons, from shopping, sight-seeing and/or dining in both cities. As well, the connector stops at the grocery store, gas sta-tion and medical clinic in Cripple Creek.

The connector runs four times a day and is $1 a round trip for residents. The shuttle, which is

wheelchair accessible, is funded by the cities of Cripple Creek and Victor, local casinos, the Federal Transit Assistance Program and is administered by the Colorado De-partment of Transportation.

The service is free for seniors 60 and older, handicapped individu-als and children under 12 accom-panied by an adult.

As well, the city of Cripple Creek operates an in-town shuttle service between May 15 and Oct. 15. The cost is $1 for adults and free for children under 12 accom-panied by an adult.

The Cripple Creek Trolley, which also runs from May 15 to Oct. 15, has fi xed stops at casinos and others visitor sites in the city.

Schweitzer received the award at a dinner Sept. 11 hosted by the Colorado Association of Transit Agencies. For information, call 689-3753.

Trimble completes Paci�c Coast TrailBy Pat [email protected]

Dangerous and peaceful, challenging and fulfilling, for Wesley Trimble hiking the Pacific Coast Trail broke bar-riers and added a notch to

his list of physical accomplishments.Graduate of Woodland Park High

School, Trimble, 26, who lives in Flo-rissant, was born with a mild form of cerebral palsy, leaving the right side of his body weak, a condition that impacts his balance.

The disability would turn out to be critical two weeks before he reached the finish line.

He started the hike April 16 at the border town of Campo, Calif., the south-ern point of the trail that ends 2,667 miles ahead in Canada.

“The first day is the hardest, because the trail is dry — there’s a lake and a campground 20 miles from the Mexican border,” he said. “A lot of people try to get there, for the water and a safe place to be.”

Pain and blisters came early in the hike. “I had to take two days off to rest and allow my legs to recover. That was hard because I had a schedule for my trip,” he said. “I was pretty discouraged over having problems early-on.”

The two days restored his energy. “I started off again – I think I pushed myself too early,” he said. “But the trail will con-dition you.”

The on-trail shape-up prepared him for the desert. “I’ve done tons of hiking in Colorado but nothing in the desert southwest so it was quite the adventure,” he said. “Probably the biggest challenge is dealing with waterless and long stretches of trail.”

Along the way, amid mountains, ice, snow, creeks, wild animals, and the un-known, Trimble encountered the trail an-gels. “They’ll let you camp in their yards, give you a place to shower or do your laundry,” he said. “There are a handful of trail angels who have been doing this for a good number of years.”

Having survived the desert, the snow-packed cliffs in the High Sierras, Trimble came upon Mt. Adams Creek in Washing-ton where his disability played a key role in the trek.

Already soaking wet from hiking all day in a rainstorm, Trimble lost his balance and fell into the glacial creek. The fall was a test of physical and mental endurance.

“Every day was a constant struggle and I really wondered why I was putting myself through this,” he said.

Yet he trudged another eight miles and came to a reckoning. “If I were to quit I definitely knew I’d look back and regret

the decision,” he said. “I didn’t necessarily want to keep hiking but I knew that get-ting to Canada was worth all the pain and suffering.”

He finished the hike Sept. 1 after crossing the Canadian border where his parents, Carl and Diana Trimble, were waiting.

Trimble was one of 1,300 people who applied for a permit to hike the PCT. “Ever since ‘Wild’ came out, the numbers of people doing the trail has increased quite bit,” he said, referring to the book and movie by Cheryl Strayed.

Reflecting on the experience, Trimble counts his disability as a prime force. “The more resistance I face in overcoming an obstacle the success of the challenge is that much sweeter,” he said. “I think the constant struggle makes me appreciate the successes.”

While Trimble has a degree in Environ-mental Design and Architecture from the University of Colorado Boulder, he hasn’t quite made a decision on a career path.

“I feel the trail widens your horizons to new potential, new possibilities,” he said. “It’s easy to figure out a career out of obli-gation or fear but once you do something of that magnitude, it shows perseverance and determination.”

In the meantime, there’s always an-other trail beckoning. “I’d like to do the Continental Divide Trail,” he said.

The starting point of the Paci�c Coast Trail from the south is at Campo, Calif., a few miles from the Mexico/California border.

Wesley Trimble met a fellow hiker on the Paci�c Coast Trail who took his picture at Eagle Rock.

The aptly-named Desolation Wilderness in Southern California was among the initial challenges of the Paci�c Coast Trail.

County’s �rst medical directory availableSta� report

The Pikes Peak Regional Medical Center Association has pub-lished the first resource for Teller County’s growing list of medical professionals. The directory is available for the public, businesses and medical professionals.

“We listened to the community who asked for a one-stop resource to find local medical professionals,” said Curt Grina, the association’s president. “To better meet this growing demand of both an increas-ing number of medical professionals in our community as well as a requirement to be able to locate them, we decided it was time to produce this valuable resource.”

The book lists 114 medical professionals in Teller County and offers information about the association as well as the Pikes Peak Medical Center Foundation.

The directory acknowledges “premier supporter” providers. “These medical practitioners are each identified in the directory with a medical symbol,” Grina said. “This recognition showcases those who demonstrate special loyalty to our community. We wanted you to know which are most actively helping to build the best health care capability for our community.”

The directory is available at Pikes Peak Regional Hospital as well as at various business and community locations, or by contacting the PPRMCA email at pprmc.org.

How does our garden grow?Teller Park Conservation District provides answers at annual meetingBy Pat [email protected]

The peer pressure is on, as almost everybody seems to be joining the move-ment toward healthy living through gardening.

Never mind that Teller County land is higher than 8,000 feet and summer lasts, maybe three months in a good year, the garden-ing craze is growing.

“We’re all trying to grow produce up here – so we know where our food comes from,” said Mary Menz, manager of Teller Park Conservation District.

As a result, the district is devoting the annual meet-ing Sept. 27 to talk about small farms and sustain-able living, which, in some ways, is a throwback to the

last century. “There’s a long history of growing up here, potatoes and lettuce in Di-vide; years ago they were shipped as far away as Chi-cago,” Menz aid. “It can be done; people just have to be patient.”

An example of patience is the meeting’s keynote speaker, Craig McHugh. Founder of the Pikes Peak Small Farm Project, which is under the umbrella of the Pikes Peak Commu-nity Foundation, McHugh and his family lived off the fruits of the land for four years.

They raised pigs, goats and chickens while grow-ing fruits and vegetables to achieve a completely sus-tainable lifestyle. “He’s re-ally inspiring,” Menz said.

A nonprofit organiza-tion, Teller Park Conserva-tion District is dedicated to helping landowners main-tain healthy growing con-ditions. “Everything starts with soil and water,” she said. “If we don’t have that we can’t do any of this.”

In addition to tips about

small-acreage farming, meeting topics include beekeeping, holistic pas-ture management, noxious weed management and aquaponics and hydropon-ics.

“I’m so excited to live in a place where we have this kind of information being shared,” Menz said. “We’re helping people create tiny farms.”

For the reluctant, a small farm doesn’t have to be a 500-acre operation, Menz said. “I grow pota-toes, carrots, cucumbers, pumpkins, broccoli, zuc-chinis and tomatoes on less than one-fourth of an acre,” she said.

The meeting, open to the public, is from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., Sept. 27 at the Lake George Charter School. Lunch is provided by Lake George Pizza.

For information and to register, contact the district office at 686-9405 x 104. Specific information will be posted at tellerparkcd.org.

There is $5 refundable deposit to hold the spot.

Personhood backers take new tack Story of unborn child lost in crash comes to fore By Vic Vela [email protected]

Could revised ballot language and a “human face” approach to this year’s ver-sion of a personhood amendment pay dividends for backers — or is the measure destined to fail like previous efforts?The last three efforts to pass a constitutional amendment that would essentially ban abortion in Colorado have failed badly.

But with this year’s effort, in the form of Amendment 67, the ballot language is dif-ferent — some argue confusing.

And supporters hope that voters will not think of the “personhood amendment” when they vote on Amendment 67 this year, and instead think of the the “Brady amendment,” named after an unborn child lost in a 2012 car accident.

The personhood makeover is leaving opponents nervous, even though Colo-rado voters have overwhelmingly rejected previous efforts.

“I’m not as confi dent as I’d like to be,” said Jann Halloran, a reverend at Prairie Unitarian Universalist Church in Parker. Halloran is one of more than 80 Colorado faith leaders who are opposed to Amend-ment 67.

“It’s a different approach for them that doesn’t look quite like what the amend-ment actually means.”

‘Brady’ emphasized

The language of Amendment 67 reads:“Shall there be an amendment to the

Colorado Constitution protecting preg-nant women and unborn children by de-fi ning `person’ and `child’ in the Colorado criminal code and the Colorado wrongful death act to include unborn human be-ings?”

Supporters of Amendment 67 have dubbed it the “Brady Amendment,” named after the unborn child of Heath-er Surovik. The Longmont woman was eight months preg-nant with Brady when she was struck by a drunken driver in July 2012.

Surovik survived the accident, but her unborn child did not.

The driver responsible for the accident pleaded guilty to serious charges, but they did not include charges related to the loss of Surovik’s unborn child. That’s because Colorado law considers a fetus to be a part of its mother’s body until its birth, and not afforded the constitutional rights of chil-dren who are born.

“Heather was told that her 8-pound, 2-ounce baby was not a person,” said Jen-nifer Mason, the communications director for Personhood USA, the group behind the ballot measure.

“Every mother can imagine this same situation happening to them.”

As part of its mobilization effort, Per-sonhood USA has launched a website

campaign called “A Voice for Brady,” where Surovik tells her story and encourages viewers to vote yes on Amendment 67.

Mason acknowledges that the cam-paign effort involving Surovik and Brady humanizes the effort behind the ballot measure.

“Putting a face to unborn children in Colorado is very important,” she said.

Opponents see trickeryBut the wording behind Amendment 67

is “designed and disguised as something it’s not,” said Cara DeGette, the communi-cations director for No on 67.

The group argues that because the term “unborn human being” has no legal or medical defi nition, it would grant legal and constitutional protections for the un-born at all stages of pregnancy, including when an egg becomes fertilized.

That would make abortion a crime, re-gardless of circumstances such as rape or incest, and women could face prosecution for terminating a pregnancy at any stage.

Backers of Amendment 67 acknowledge that they want to end abortions, but they are more focused this year on highlighting stories like Surovik’s.

That could be because ballot language in past years has failed to win over voters. In 2008, Amendment 48 sought to defi ne personhood as being “from the moment of fertilization.”

Voters rejected that amendment by a ratio of 73-27 percent.

In 2010, Amendment 62 sought to de-fi ne a human being as “from the beginning of the biological development of that hu-

man being.”That effort received only about 29 per-

cent of the vote.A 2012 personhood effort failed to re-

ceive enough signatures to qualify for the ballot.

This year’s language doesn’t try to de-fi ne the point at which personhood be-gins, but opponents believe the end result would be the same.

“This one seems particularly vague be-cause it looks like it’s supportive to helping pregnant women,” Halloran said. “But, if you’ve done your research, there are crimi-nal and civil ways to help pregnant women already.”

Halloran was referring to the “Crimes Against Pregnant Women” legislation that Gov. John Hickenlooper signed into law in 2013.

The legislation allows prosecutors to charge criminals who harm an unborn child during a crime.

However, the majority of Republican lawmakers voted against the legislation because the law did not provide person-hood protections for the unborn child. The language of the bill also excluded from prosecution “medical care for which the mother provided consent.”

Mason does not know if this year’s re-vised effort will make a difference in the minds of voters.

However, she does know that the effort will not end if it fails again in November.

“We are committed to this,” Mason said. “We’re not going away because we really believe that children and pregnant women should be protected in Colorado.”

Polls pingpong in governor’s race Hickenlooper campaign calls pro-Beauprez survey ‘� awed’ By Vic Vela [email protected]

Trying to make sense of multiple — and wildly confl icting — governor’s-race poll-ing results released on Sept. 17 was a bit like shoveling the sidewalk while it’s still snowing.

Throughout the day, separate polling agencies released surveys hours apart from one another, with their fi ndings re-sulting in a 17-point swing from one pos-sible extreme to another — with Demo-cratic Gov. John Hickenlooper leading in two polls.

But the most eyebrow-raising results came from a Qunnipiac University poll that showed Hickenlooper losing by 10 percentage points among likely voters to Republican former Congressman Bob Beauprez.

The fi ndings show Hickenlooper trail-ing Beauprez 50-40 percent, with the gov-ernor losing in support among women, 47-46 percent, and trailing badly among men, 54-34 percent.

“Pundits were predicting that Gov. Hickenlooper faced a close race for re-election,” said Tim Malloy, the poll’s as-sistant director. “Instead, he’s got a mad dash to make up a double-digit defi cit. The Democrat does not get the traditional strong support from women to offset Bob Beauprez’s army of support from men.”

The poll, which has a margin of error of 2.8 percentage points, was conducted Sept. 10-15, with 1,211 likely voters re-sponding.

Beauprez issued a statement of cau-tious optimism, saying in a press state-ment: “We’re going to run like we’re be-hind.”

“Our state desperately needs stron-ger leadership and with 48 days left to go, we are not going to let this or any other poll distract us from getting the job done and giving Colorado the leadership it de-serves,” Beauprez said.

But the Hickenlooper campaign blast-ed the Qunnipiac poll as an outlier that is “fundamentally fl awed” and pointed to several other polls that show the governor leading the race.

Two other surveys released on Sept 7 showed Hickenlooper with leads — one as high as 7 points.

That poll was conducted by Progress New America, a Democratic-leaning poll-ing outfi t, which polled 1,350 likely voters Sept. 7-14. The other, a USA Today/Suffolk University poll, which polled 500 likely voters, had Hickenlooper up 2 points.

In a statement, the Hickenlooper cam-paign also pointed to polling from last week by the Denver Post and NBC/Marist that also showed the governor with slight leads.

“Right now we are leading in support, fundraising and polling, and that’s be-cause folks support John’s work to help Colorado grow and strengthen our econ-omy,” said Hickenlooper campaign man-ager Brad Komar.

Colorado Community Media also ob-tained a memo Komar sent to campaign staff, where he addressed the fi ndings of the Qunnipiac poll. Komar said that the Hickenlooper campaign’s internal polling samples party registration percentages similar to those that turn out in competi-tive, off-presidential year elections, such as 2010.

But Komar said Qunnipiac’s poll-ing does not do that and instead the poll “weighs results entirely on party self-iden-tifi cation.”

“Despite what an outlier poll says, the governor is in a strong position for re-elec-tion,” Komar said.

Gessler is hot potato in race for his o� ce Williams, Neguse treat incumbent as pariah By Vic Vela [email protected]

In the race to become Colorado’s next secretary of state, two candidates are tout-ing their qualifi cations while distancing themselves from the man who currently holds the post.

Republican El Paso County Clerk and Recorder Wayne Williams will take on Democrat Joe Neguse, a University of Colorado regent, in a race to become the state’s elections chief.

The two are seeking to fi ll a seat that will be soon vacated by current Secretary of State Scott Gessler. The Republican opted against seeking a second term and instead launched an unsuccessful bid for governor earlier this year.

Gessler has famously earned the nick-name “honey badger,” born from a style of bare-knuckled politics that has rallied Re-publicans and roiled Democrats. Gessler has had several public battles with Gov. John Hickenlooper and legislative Demo-crats over election policy and his handling of the secretary of state’s offi ce.

That style is something that both Wil-liams and Neguse say they want to avoid if elected as Gessler’s successor.

“I think some of the ways he presented things were too polarizing,” said Williams.

Williams said Gessler “has done a lot of good things,” but added: “We have differ-ent styles.”

However, Neguse sees a lot of Gessler in Williams. Neguse believes Williams has a record of “focusing on efforts that make it harder for people to vote.”

“For me, it is important to have a secre-tary of state who is not only going to pro-tect the right the vote, but empower more people to exercise that constitutional right because it is a right that we shouldn’t take for granted,” Neguse said.

W i l l i a m s said Neguse’s characteriza-tion of him just isn’t the case.

“I’m the only one (in the race) who has run an offi ce and run elections and I’ve done it well,” he said.

Backgrounds di� erWilliams served for eight years as an El

Paso County commissioner prior to being elected county clerk and recorder in 2010.

Williams said he is proud of the custom-er service he has provided for four years and is especially proud of his work during the 2012 Waldo Canyon Fire, when many voters were being evacuated the same day of a primary election.

“We counted every ballot, made sure they were all secure and made every statu-tory deadline despite being evacuated for the fi re,” Williams said.

Williams has also presided over three recall elections in as many counties. He was asked by offi cials in Teller and Sagua-che counties to handle local recall elec-

tions there, and he oversaw his own coun-ty’s highly publicized recall election, which led to the ouster of then-state Senate Presi-dent John Morse.

Neguse was elected to represent the state’s 2nd Congressional District on the CU Board of Regents. His public service re-cord also includes having served as a com-missioner on the Boulder Housing Author-ity and being a Capitol staffer for former state House Speaker Andrew Romanoff.

Neguse is a fi rst-generation American whose parents are from Africa.

“The right to vote really is sacred and, as the son of immigrants, I can tell you in a very visceral way what it means to be able to have the right to vote and to exercise that right to vote,” he said.

If elected, Neguse said he would work to create a “one-stop shop” business plat-form to make it easier for business owners to navigate service options. He also wants to dispatch offi ce representatives across the state for greater service accessibility.

Divided on reformsNeguse and Williams have different

opinions on key voting issues that will shape their policies.

Neguse is a supporter of a 2013 elec-tions overhaul law that created same-day registration in Colorado and requires that all ballots be mailed to registered voters.

Neguse believes the law will enable more people to participate in elections, but Williams has been an outspoken critic of the law. Williams said the law is costly to counties and is unfair to voters who don’t wish to receive ballots in the mail because of security issues.

Williams — whose opposition to the elections reform law puts him among the minority of county clerks in the state — also is concerned that the law will lead to increased cases of voter fraud.

“Colorado had the highest percentage turnout in the country in 2012,” Williams said. “The system was working very well as it was.”

Neguse believes Williams’ opinion on the law misses the mark. He points to safe-guards that are in place that allow clerks real-time information when votes are be-ing cast, which is intended to root out fraud.

“Same-day registration has existed in Wyoming for decades,” Neguse said. “It has existed in Idaho for decades. It’s worked well. Empirical evidence shows more people participate.”

Williams supports voter identifi cation laws and doesn’t think that showing a util-ity bill is a valid form of ID. He concedes that voter fraud is rare, but he cites two recent El Paso County elections that were decided by a single vote.

“We don’t have bank robberies that of-ten either,” he said. “But (if a bank) put all its money in a pile and put a note on the pile and said, `Hey customers, just sign an affi davit that you’ve taken no more money than you have deposited in this bank,’ that would be an absurd result.”

But Neguse doesn’t think that voters want “a secretary of state who is going to be focused on dismantling those reforms.”

“That should be something we should strive for — making it easier to vote for those people who are eligible to vote,” he said.

Biden latest big name to stump in Colorado Each side jeers other as state’s pro� le grows By Vic Vela [email protected]

Vice President Joe Biden last week be-came the latest big-name political fi gure to visit Colorado to raise campaign cash in a state that is getting plenty of national at-tention for its high-profi le races.

Biden came to Denver on Sept. 19 to speak about domestic violence. Afterward, the possible 2016 presidential candidate headlined a fundraiser for fellow Demo-crat Andrew Romanoff.

The former state House speaker is seek-ing to unseat Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman in a 6th Congressional District race that has become this fall’s most close-ly watched race for Congress.

The Coffman campaign mocked the vice president’s trip, as well as recent visits to Colorado by other Democratic leaders, such as former House Speaker Nancy Pe-losi.

“It is offi cial. Every liberal in the free frickin’ world is calling in every favor they can summon to help Romanoff’s bid for Congress,” said Coffman campaign spokesman Tyler Sandberg.

In response, the Romanoff campaign

took the high road.“There are real issues at stake in this

race: creating jobs, growing the economy, strengthening the middle class,” said Ro-manoff campaign spokeswoman Denise Baron. “Congressman Coffman should take a break from character attacks and name-calling long enough to discuss the priorities that matter to the people of this district.”

Mockery has been a common reaction from Republicans anytime anyone from the White House has come to Colorado to stump for Democratic candidates. Ear-lier this summer, the GOP pushed a narra-tive that Democratic Sen. Mark Udall was avoiding being seen with President Obama during a Denver presidential visit.

Udall — who is locked in a tight re-elec-tion race with Republican Congressman Cory Gardner — did not attend a fund-raiser headlined by the president, nor was he in attendance for an economic speech given by Obama the next day.

But Democrats have had plenty to howl about over visits to Colorado by high-pro-fi le Republicans this year.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie stumped for gubernatorial candidate Bob Beau-prez and House Speaker John Boehner has raised cash for Coffman’s campaign. Both visits were greeted with ridicule by Demo-crats.

The high-profi le visits show just how

important Colorado politics have become on the national scene.

But do voters care about endorsements or whether a candidate avoids being seen

in public with an unpopular politician from the same party?

Independent political analyst Eric Son-dermann doesn’t think so.

Biden urges strength to stop domestic violence By Vic Vela [email protected]

Vice President Joe Biden came to Den-ver on Sept. 19 to urge men to stand up against domestic violence, saying that men have “an absolute obligation to inter-vene when you see violence taking place.”

“That’s manhood,” the vice president said. “That’s being a man.”

Biden gave his passionate remarks pri-or to taking part in a round-table discus-sion on domestic violence at a Safehouse Denver offi ce on Capitol Hill. The orga-nization provides services and shelter for battered women.

Biden’s trip marks the 20th anniversary of the Violence Against Women Act, which

he spearheaded as a U.S. senator.Biden recalled some pushback at the

time of the legislation, saying that some used to consider domestic violence “a family matter.” The vice president thanked the press for covering that effort 20 years ago, saying the media was “the reason why we’ve been able to put a face on domestic violence.”

Biden’s remarks came just a couple of hours after National Football League Commissioner Roger Goodell apologized to fans for his handling of recent inci-dents involving domestic violence among league stars.

“I would respectfully suggest to you had what has gone on in the NFL in the last four weeks been reported in 1984, I doubt

very much it would get the coverage it’s getting now,” Biden said, in a nod to the changing cultural attitudes toward domestic violence.

Biden was fl anked by Denver Mayor Michael Hancock and domestic-vi-olence advocates and sur-vivors.

Hancock — whose sister

was shot 12 years as part of ongoing domestic vio-lence suffered at the hands of her boyfriend — praised Biden’s work on the issue.

The mayor also touted the soon-to-be built Rose Andom Center — named after a domestic violence survivor who sat next to the vice president — which will serve as a “one-stop shop” for domestic-violence vic-tims to receive care and services. The center will have on-site police, mag-istrates and child and pet care services.

“Our goal here today is to shed light on the issue of domestic violence in our community,” Hancock said.

Biden reminded the au-dience that violence isn’t unique to certain groups of people. He said that gays and lesbians are also vic-tims, as are undocumented immigrant women, who may fear deportation by going to the police to report abuse.

And Biden urged college students to step up when-ever a violent act against a woman seems imminent.

“Turning away when you see a fraternity brother take an obviously, com-pletely, thoroughly drunk young woman and head to his room, you have a moral obligation — you are a cow-ard if you do not stop him,” Biden said.

Biden’s visit was also meant to call attention to a newly launched White House campaign that calls attention to domestic violence. The campaign, called “It’s on Us,” asks ev-ery man in America to sign an online pledge to inter-

vene in incidents involving domestic violence.

Biden said one of the ways the society “wins” the fi ght against domestic violence is when men real-ize that certain actions are never acceptable.

“(We win) when every young man in America knows there is not a single circumstance that exists that justifi es any man in this room or this nation raising a hand to a woman, other than in self-defense,” he said.

Florissant’s roots in potato farming celebrated By Sonja Oliver Contributing writer

In the late 1800s and early 1900s, high altitude potato crops were grown in Flo-rissant, Lake George, Divide and sur-rounding areas where the loose-packed

soil allowed for its growth. Potatoes were harvested in late September, early October and were then shipped by the Colorado Midland Railroad to the cities. During harvest time, the town of Floris-sant celebrated a festival in honor of the humble potato.

Last year the Florissant Grange No.

420 re-established a Potato Festival, with the second year celebrated on Sat-urday, Sept. 13. The festival featured participants’ favorite potato dishes, a potato dig, potato sack race, Mr. Potato Head contest and potato sack fashion show. Florissant Grange Secretary Renee Caldwell said that although the festival

was attended by a smaller crowd, fun was had by all.

“We had a baked potato bar, brats, burgers and hotdogs. The kids partici-pated in a sack race, potato harvest, and Mr. Potato Head contest,” Caldwell said. Photos by Susan Zaba

Ruth and Red celebrate 63Accident doesn’t keep this couple downBy Pat [email protected]

It’s 63 years for Ruth and Red (Gene) Williams who were married Sept. 23, 1951 in Glenwood Springs.

Founders of the Country Store in 1972, the Williams ran the business out of the large log cabin on Rampart Range Road.

In 1981 they changed the name to Mountain Home Furniture and closed the business in the spring of 1995.

While the party is still on, the celebra-tory mood was broken this month as the couple recuperates from injuries suffered in a car accident a few miles north of Bue-na Vista.

Red was driving as the couple returned from a camping trip with their 5th Wheel in the late afternoon of Sept. 18. “The profes-sional opinion is that I may have dozed off,” he said. “There were no skid marks.”

The hitch on the 5th Wheel held and ul-timately saved the camper. “I cussed that hitch for two years,” Red said, shaking his head.

Both suffered injuries to the knees and Red has deep contusions on the stomach. They were taken by ambulance to the hos-pital in Salida and released that day.

At home with a new 2014 Ford SUV in the garage, the Williams are planning the celebration party with family and friends.

that a resolution in favor of the aquatic center will be on next council meeting agenda.

Fleer said the bowling facility proposed for Woodland Station is moving forward and plans are aligning with construction on Lot 2 by Arden Weatherford and Kip Unruh.

“We hope to see an aggressive construction season in 2015,” he said.

He added that the water loop being constructed near the hos-pital will allow construction to start on the Forest Ridge Skilled Care facility, which will ultimately bring about 100 new jobs to the city. Woodland Hardware signage issues are also being resolved with help from Planning Director Sally Riley.

“This has also been an out-standing year for Off Highway Ve-hicle/All-Terrain Vehicle business-es,” he said. “We’re trying to get a handle on how much revenue hav-ing a multi-million dollar business in our back yard brings us.”


Council

Modification of the existing aeration basins to increase the facility’s organic and nitrification capacity.

Addition of a third secondary clarifier.Addition of tertiary filtration.Expanding disinfection and converting

to ultraviolet.Relocation and expansion of aerated

sludge holding.Upgrading to a new rotational press to

improve sludge dewatering capability, in-creasing solids-handling efficiency and

improving efficiency at the city’s sludge composting facility.

Adding septic truck screening, holding, aeration and equalization, which will allow the city to charge fees to local commercial septic cleaning companies that currently use facilities in Colorado Springs.

“This expansion is not a complete re-build,” McGinn said. “We’ll be reusing what

we can to save money and we’ll be plan-ning as best we can for other changes (in wastewater regulations and technology) that might come over the next 20 years.”

McGinn and Wiley gave kudos to Schul-tz for how well the existing plant has per-formed over the past 20 years and said they hope this expansion will perform as well over the next 20 years.

‘Art �rough the Ages’ sponsored by Hill Family Trust comes to Lake GeorgeLake George students experience ‘day at the museum’By Sonja OliverContributing writer

On Sept. 28, against the backdrop of classical music and natural light, Lake George Charter students walked into their gymnasium, now transformed into an art museum courtesy of the The Hill Family Trust’s “Art Through the Ages” traveling ex-hibit.

The art tour featured paintings, draw-ings, water colors, chalk and sculpture creations by famous artists dating from the beginning of the Renaissance period of the late 1400s to present time.

Students were surrounded by 39 works of art created by masters such as Pablo Picasso, Salvadore Dali, Leonardo Da Vin-ci, William Merritt Chase, Edgar Degas, Pierre Auguste Renoir, Marc Chagall, Henri Matisse, Eduarde Manet, and many more famous names whose creations are fea-tured at museums throughout the world.

The Hill Family TrustAs trustee and manager for the collec-

tion, Charles R. Hill, holds a Ph.D in fine art and art history and is continually search-ing the globe for lost works of art. In fact, Hill has been described by some as a mod-ern-day “Indiana Jones of the art world.”

Hill decided to make an art exhibit available to rural schools as a result of chil-dren’s reaction while attending an exhibit he brought to the Park State Bank in Wood-land Park in 2012.

In an earlier interview Hill said, “I was so overwhelmed by the kids’ interest (in the paintings) at the bank and by their questions, and realized that they don’t have an opportunity to see great works of art – especially in rural areas.”

Hill said that taking the show on the road to rural schools such as Lake George allows access to something neither stu-dents nor community members may ever experience in a lifetime.

The Hill Family Trust is comprised of 250 paintings dating from the 1300s to the present time. In sharing the world-class collection with schools, Hill hopes to en-hance art appreciation throughout Colo-

rado, especially among students.“I want to enhance young people’s

appreciation of the arts. Every culture throughout history where you have a posi-tive influence in art, you can also have a positive influence on youth and society,” Hill said.

Students were given a brief tour nar-rated by Hill, who held their attention with the stories behind the artworks, battles, dancers, intrigue and angst. They were giv-en insight into the artistic styles, the artists themselves and the historic background of the paintings.

Hill kept his audience of students and community members spellbound, incor-porating humor with interesting facts, bringing to life the specifically selected works of art to show each artist’s different styles, techniques, and biographies, and to discuss centuries of art history’s transi-tion from the Renaissance of Leonardo da Vinci, to the Dutch masters, to the impres-sionistic and modern eras.

One of the collection highlights in-cludes “Yosemite,” Thomas Hill’s signature oil on canvas. Thomas Hill is a “great, great, great cousin” of Charles Hill through his grandfather’s side of the family.

For Charles Hill, his passion for the hunting, researching, acquisition and res-toration of fine art has become a life-long passion.

In a narrative that was almost as in-teresting as the artworks themselves, Hill related some of the unusual details about how some of the various works were ac-quired. For example, Salvadore Dali’s plati-num relief of the “Last Supper” was res-cued by Hill from an obscure antique store for a mere $300. That particular work of art can now be shared, to be viewed by rural communities as part of the trust’s exhibit.

Arts in EducationHill says his hope is to “plant the seed”

of creativity in children and inspire them to “never underestimate their own abili-ties.”

“One of them could possibly be another Van Gogh,” said Hill.

Hill’s advice for encouraging young art-ists is; “Never say to a young person that (their creation) was bad. Nothing is ever ugly in the world of art. Instead, tell them they have potential. Art is a means to lift up, not tear down,” Hill said.

Hill also says it is a proven fact that stu-

dents excel in mathematics and science curriculum where schools have art enrich-ment programs because they complement each other.

To enhance the learning process, and in honor of the event, students in grades three through six chose and researched one of the featured artists in their com-puter literacy class, identifying when and where the artist worked, what mediums and style of painting the artist employed, the artist’s most famous works of art, and the most common subjects in the artist’s body of work. Each student was then en-couraged to share their findings to the group as Hill presented each artist’s work.

Raising money for the school art programLake George art teacher Donna Knox

said that for a second year the school is participating in the Square 1 Art Fundrais-er where student artists, staff members, and family members are currently com-

pleting their original works of art to submit to the fundraiser.

Square 1 Art is a nationwide leader in art fundraising with high quality products fea-turing each student’s own art, turning art into useful keepsakes. Each artist receives a free sheet of 20 stickers of their art work and a catalog of personalized products. All personalized products will arrive before Thanksgiving break to make unique holi-day gifts for friends and family members.

“In these days of budget cuts and fis-cal challenges, I hope to totally fund the art program this year with profits earned through our annual Square 1 Art fundrais-er. All money raised will purchase student art items, including new paint brushes sets, tempura, water color and acrylic paints, clay and ceramic supplies, special-ty papers and three-dimensional build-ing materials for the current school year,” Knox said.

For more information about the pro-gram, call 719-748-3911.

Lake George Charter students conducted research and reported on some of the artists featured in Dr. Charles Hill’s “Art Through the Ages” show, a journey through the history of art from the Renaissance to the present.

Bios on featured artists Include:Fred Hargrove: Through countless

hours in the saddle, raising cattle and horses, rodeo team roper, and managing the land, Fred Hargrove gained the knowl-edge needed to write and sing his original Cowboy Songs. Hargrove, of Monte Vista, worked as a cattle ranch manager and breeder for many years, which included a partnership in the Rocking 3M Cattle Co. with cowboy song and poetry icon Michael Martin Murphey, where they raised regis-tered Longhorn Cattle.

Hargrove has been performing on stage since 1992, has been a member of the West-ern Music Association since 1996 and has performed throughout the United States. He has traveled with Michael Martin Mur-phey, on what they called their “Lone Cow-boy Campfire Tour,” which started in the summer of 2005. Hargrove still books and opens many shows for Murphey.

Hargrove’s artistry and writing have been featured in numerous publications including the Colorado Farm Bureau’s “Colorado Way of Life” as well as in news-papers and at art exhibitions. His music and poetry has received nominations and acknowledgements from the Western Mu-sic Association and Academy of Western Artists.

Hargrove now has six CD’s available including “A Cowboy’s Dream,” “Cowpoke Folk,” “Campfire Cowboy – Back to the Fire,” “My Sacred Ground,” and “Watch-ing Eagles Fly,” which is about the plight of the ranchers and farmers in the San Luis Valley of South Central Colorado, and his newly released “Western Trains, and other Things.”

All and all, Fred hopes to continue sing-ing about agriculture, ranching, and the western life he lives, “as long as the Good Lord allows!”

Susie Knight – Celebrating 50 years on stage and in the saddle, Susie Knight is Colorado’s own all-around cowgirl enter-tainer. Former barrel racer, riding instruc-tor, and working ranch cowgirl, Knight hangs her hat in Conifer. With professional singers for parents, Knight debuted on

stage at the age of three – the same year, she rode her first pony – and began writing cowboy songs and poems at age 15.

Knight busted onto the cowboy poetry gathering scene in 2010, performing for audiences at campfire and concert hall settings throughout the West. Most recent-ly, Knight received awards including Cow-boy Idol Poet; 2013 Academy of Western Artists’ Cowgirl Poet; 2012-13 WMA Top 5 Finalist Female Poet of the Year; and 2012 Western Music Assn. Cowboy Poetry CD of the Year. Susie’s story-like cowboy poetry and western songs capture a woman’s per-spective on ranching, rodeo, and romance.

Sandy Reay – A songwriter and poet has realized a life-long dream to live on a horse ranch in the Colorado mountains. In 2010, Reay released “I Wanted to Fly,” a CD of her original and co-written songs of which one was a Western Music Association 2010 Fi-nalist for Best Original Song. Reay received the 2013 Academy of Western Music award as Cowgirl Poet of the Year.

Ray Delgado – Colorado Native from Greeley was born in the small community of Laird and played rhythm guitar in a high school rock-n-roll band with his brother and later in a country western band with his father-in-law.

Panthers’ o�ense starts with o�ensive lineWoodland Park has a solid starting �ve in the trenchesBy Danny [email protected]

They may not have a cool nickname like “The Seven Blocks of Granite” or “Monsters of the Midway,” but the Wood-land Park High School football offensive linemen are committed to becoming the best at their positions.

“We have a very solid line this year,” said Woodland Park head coach Joe Ros-kam. “We pull and trap a lot.

“It’s not very complicated, but guys have to do their assignments.”

Roskam especially likes the leadership of junior right guard Devin Carter, who also starts at nose guard on defense.

“He gets us where we need to be going

every down,” Roskam said. “Sometimes I go and ask him what he’s seeing out there. He tells me and that helps us out.”

The 6-foot, 260-pound Carter enjoys being in the trenches.

“Some plays I pull and some plays I block down,” Carter said. “I like pulling better.”

Carter added that the offense is less complicated than last season when Rob Royer was the offensive coordinator. Roy-er left to be the head coach at Rampart, so Roskam switched back from defensive coordinator to offensive coordinator.

“I like the offense a lot better this year,” Carter said. “We have more variety in plays.”

Woodland Park is averaging about 300 yards a game on the ground.

“That means we’re doing our jobs,” said Panthers’ senior center Hunter Wil-son. “We talk a lot on the line. We double check our assignments.

“I pretty much stay neutral, but when-

ever a guard pulls I block down to get the man they are pulling away from.”

Wilson missed last season with a con-cussion.

The rest of the starting line consists of right tackle Nick Hines, left guard Orion Drummond and left tackle Joel Wooley.’

“We try to hold each other account-able,” Wilson said. “For us to be successful we have to focus on keeping our heads on straight and focus on our assignments.”

Woodland Park offensive line coach Brett Nelson knows his guys are doing a good job when the Panthers’ defense is on the sidelines the majority of the game.

“That means we’re controlling the line on offense,” Nelson said. “We’re not mak-ing penalties and doing things that will slow us down.

“At Summit (on Sept. 12), we had a six-and-a-half minute drive and a nine-minute drive in the second half. Summit had the ball for like three plays in the third quarter. That’s what we want. That’s how

we want to control the game.”The offensive linemen are sort of the

unsung heroes of most teams. Nelson knows that, but he’s also aware of just how important his guys are to the success of the team.

“The season will go as they play,” Nel-son said. “They understand that. We have high expectations for them.

“They all work together. Devin has played just about every position on the line so he kind of helps everyone out. He calls out the alignments. With Nick be-ing new to his right he checks with Nick and then Devin checks with Hunter. And Wooley’s calling from the other side.”

Hines added that he and his fellow linemen are well aware when the offense is working well.

“When things aren’t going so well we try to keep each other pumped and re-mind each other that it’s just one play and move on.”

Woodland Park softball team thinking about postseasonPanthers are 13-2 overall and ranked 10th in the state in one pollBy Danny [email protected]

The Woodland Park High School soft-ball team is good. Very good.

But do these Panthers have what it takes to earn a high seed when District pairings are announced next month?

“We sure hope so,” said Woodland Park coach Dale Huntington. “We were ranked 10th in the state in the last poll I saw. That means we would play a #22 seed in the playoffs.

“I think that would be huge for us, but we still have to go out and perform and play to the best of our ability.”

Huntington is in his fourth season as coach of the Panthers (ninth overall). He guided the program to three postseason appearances in his first three seasons, but the Panthers wound up 0-6 in the playoffs.

“We’d like t change that trend this year,” Huntington said.

It’s not that Huntington, his coaching staff or his players are looking beyond the rest of their Class 4A Metro League schedule, but Woodland Park has already clinched at least a tie for the title.

The Panthers are 13-2 overall, 6-0 in league, and basically jockeying for as high

of a postseason seed as they can earn at this point.

“We want to see some good pitching so we can figure out what to do with it,” Hun-tington said. “There aren’t very many top-level pitchers in our league, so I’m hoping we can get a scrimmage with Pine Creek or Rampart before playoffs begin.”

Woodland Park has the best pitcher in its league in the name of senior right-hander Lexie Comer. On Sept. 16, Comer struck out 13 Canon City batters in a 7-0 victory. She allowed just three hits while keeping Tigers hitters off balance with her screwball, changeup and rise ball.

“Lexie could be all-conference and player of the year in our conference,” Huntington said. “That’s how good she is. She’s doing an excellent job. She just gets it done.”

Comer also added an inside the park home run, triple and single against Canon City.

What made the victory especially im-pressive was that Canon City’s pitcher, Bayley Hammel, entered the game with a 4-0 record and 0.27 ERA. She had 55 strikeouts and just eight walks in 25 2/3 innings.

But Woodland Park batters got her for 11 hits. In addition to Comer’s three hits, Chrissy Cunningham had three hits, while Brenna Peters and Hayley Corbiere had two hits each.

Comer has been batting leadoff or sec-ond most of the season. The usual top five

- but subject to change - of the batting order are Jeanette Worscheck (.556 bat-ting average), Comer (.558), Cunningham (.474), Celeste Cervantes (.469) and Cor-biere (.444).

“We’ve got some hitters,” Huntington said. “They put a lot of work in.”

Woodland Park closes out its regular season league play Sept. 23 against Wide-field. The Panthers then play three games in the Metro League tournament, which has no bearing on the order of league fin-

ish. If all goes according to plan, Wood-land Park will finish the regular season 17-2 - its best regular season mark in school history.

Thirty-two teams qualify for the play-offs. There are eight four-team district sites with the top two teams from each site advancing to the state tournament.

“Boy, it sure would be nice to make it to the state tournament,” Huntington said. “These girls will give it everything they’ve got.”

Panthers battling on the soccer �eldWoodland Park is 1-5 overall, 0-2 in league playBy Danny [email protected]

Woodland Park soccer players, coaches and team managers knew they would have their hands full going into their Class 4A Metro League opener against The Classical Academy on Sept. 16.

Midway through the second half TCA went up 10-0 and the game was called due to the 10-goal rule.

While the outcome wasn’t the ideal sce-nario for Woodland Park, the Panthers did take away a few positives.

“If we’re going to improve we have to start every game off with more intensity,” said junior midfielder Nick McMorris. “We have to work it around the middle more and communicate more.”

Two days after the TCA game, Woodland Park was shutout by Mitchell, 8-0, to fall to 1-5 overall.

“We definitely have time to correct things, but we have to keep our heads up,” McMorris said.

Junior Cody Stroup is one Woodland Park’s team captains and is tied for the team lead in goals with five. He is very vo-cal on and off the field.

“We’ve played some very good teams this season,” Stroup said. “We just need to play smart and we need to work on our touches.

“Our problem is that we can’t look up and see the whole field. We’re just not there yet. But smart play is basically the thing we need to work on.”

The top three teams in the Metro League automatically advance to the post-season. At 0-2 in league, Woodland Park almost has to win out to grab one of the automatic bids.

First-year coach Noel Sawyer has about 30 players involved in the program and has seen improvement, despite his team being outscored 31-15.

Woodland Park’s victory came against 2A Evangelical Christian, 11-1.

“You will see huge improvement in this program next year and the years to come,” Sawyer said. “We have seasoned players, but a lot of them play other sports.

“We only have three kids who play club soccer. That needs to change if we’re go-ing to compete with the TCAs and better teams in the area.”

Sawyer noted that TCA, a traditional 3A state power playing its first season at the 4A level, has 14 club players. TCA defeated defending 4A state champion Cheyenne Mountain, 1-0, earlier this month.

“If you look around you will see that the better teams have most of their roster filled with club players,” Sawyer said. “That’s not an excuse. That’s just reality.”

Sawyer is hoping to have his players get involved in an indoor league over the winter and play club ball next spring and summer.

“We need to focus on getting our play-ers to play year-round,” he said.

Among the pleasant surprises for the Panthers this season is freshman Kristian Hooker, who has tallied five goals. Hooker, McMorris and Stroup are the only club players on the team.

“I have a feeling this program has a great future because coach is definitely dedicated,” Stroup said. “We’ve got an up and coming team.”

Woodland Park freshman Kristian Hooker, No. 11 in white jersey, has already scored �ve goals this season and is tied for the team lead in that department. Here is working against a defender from The Classical Academy in a game played on Sept. 16.

SALOME’S STARSFOR THE WEEK OF SEPT. 22, 2014

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) An offer to help with a stalled project should reassure you that you have a workable plan in spite of the problems in getting it up and running. The week’s end brings more posi-tive news.

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) A past problem about a workplace situation re-emerges early in the week. Talking things out helps ease tensions by midweek, but some hurt feelings could linger a few more days.

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) YOptimistic aspects dominate your efforts. However, expect to confront some criticism, some of which might be valid, so keep an open mind. But overall, it’s your views that will count.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Social interaction with new people, especially on the job, could be a bit strained in the early part of the week. But the awk-wardness passes as you get to know each other better.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Expect news about a follow-up to a workplace change that could make a differ-ence in your career path. Meanwhile, new friends wid-en the circle for all you Social Lions who love to party.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Enjoy your well-earned plaudits for a job well done. But be aware that some people might not share your colleagues’ admiration, and you might have to work harder to win them over.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) It’s a good week to re-check your probably already overlong “to do” list and decide what to keep and what to discard. Lose the clutter and focus your energy on what’s really impor-tant.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) This is a good time to take a new perspective on what you’ve been offered. Expanding your view could help to uncover any plus-ses or minuses that weren’t apparent at first.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Many of the tougher communication barriers between you and others in the workplace or at home could begin break-ing down this week. Expect some surprises to emerge.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) So what if fate throws some obstacles in your path this week? Just keep in mind that the sure-footed and resolute Goat can get past any barrier by focusing on the goals up ahead. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) This week calls for better communication with people in both your private life and the workplace. Start by asking questions, and then pay close attention to the answers.

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Potentially beneficial workplace changes could be closer than you realize. Make sure you know what’s going on so that you’re not left high and dry when the good things happen.

BORN THIS WEEK: You’re not timid about pushing to have your aims realized once you’ve set your mind to accomplishing your goals.

Baby Boomers Benefit From Knee Arthritis Treatments Their Parents Could Only Dream About

Cutting-Edge Treatments and Technology Are Helping Knee Arthritis Sufferers Avoid Knee Replacement Surgery and Stay Active In Their 50’s, 60’s, 70’s and even 80’s

If you would like to discover a safe and effective medical treatment for knee arthritis pain and stiffness that has already helped thousands just like you, this will be the most important infor-mation you ever read.Here is why: Back in 2010, a medical clinic in Colorado Springs, CO named Osteo Relief Institute did something that would change the lives of thousands and thousands of people.They developed a knee

arthritis treatment program specifically designed for the knee

arthritis sufferers who not only want to relieve pain and stiffness... but also want to stay active. As patients got re-sults... the word spread like wildfire. Now the clinic receivesan over-whelming number of new patient inquiries per

month. It seems like eve-ry knee arthritis sufferer in the area wants this treatment. Some travel as many as 3 hours to be treated by the experts at Osteo Relief Institute.

But here’s where the story gets really good...

for YOU Because they knew how frustrating knee arthritis is and how life changing relieving their pain was... many patients wanted to share their story with others. That’s why they are willing to travel to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida and tell their stories for a special documentary being made about Os-teo Relief Institute and their knee pain treatment methods. Patients like William La S. flew to Florida and told how he couldn’t play golf due to arthri-tis pain - and now after

treatment, “It’s the best thing I ever did. It’s just - now I can play golf, I can walk, I can climb stairs, I can do things I did many years ago.” And then there is Shirley S. who could barely walk and was facing total knee replacement in both knees and after treatment said, “I just thank God for the treatment... It made me feel like a new woman.”

Are These Result Typical?

Let’s be very clear about this: this is not a “miracle cure” for arthritis. This is a real medi-cal treatment that has worked very well for thousands and thousands of people. But we are not sug- gesting that everyone (or

anyone) who gets this treatment is going to get the same results others have gotten. As with all medical treatments - the response is individual. And no one can say what your re-sponse to treatment willbe. But we can say with100% accuracy that countless people have lessened or even elimi-nated their pain - and gotten their active lives back after this treatment. And that is entirely possible for you, too. And that’s why people from all over the area are flocking to Osteo Re-lief Institute to give this

prom- ising treatment a try. That’s why they are offering a no-risk, no- obligation knee screen-ing designed specifically to see if this treatment might help you. But the biggest prob-lem is keeping up with the overwhelming de-mand. That’s why they have had to limit the number of screenings per month. The good news is, if you call 719-323-6612 within the next 2 days - you are guaran-teed a screening.

“ I wish I had known this 5 years ago...”

“I’ve had trouble with my knee walking. I’m a golfer and want to play golf but I couldn’t. I made the call and went down [to the Osteo Relief Institute] and it’s the best thing I ever did. It’s just – now I can play golf, I can walk, I can climb stairs, I can do things I did many years ago”. “It’s the smartest thing I ever did. Since I’ve been going to Osteo Relief for my knees I don’t take any pills, I take no over the counter medication...” “This is a good alterna-tive to surgery. I am so glad I went. I’m so confident I feel so good about it and I recom-mend it to everybody.” “Call up Osteo Relief. What have you got to lose. Have them check it out and they may help you.” “I wish I had known this five years ago.”

William La S.

“The treatment was won-derful”

“Five years ago I had knee surgery, had a replacement, and I was not happy with it. The therapy was painful and I’m still numb on one side and you can’t – you cannot kneel on your knee once you have that done.” “I was not sleeping at night, my leg was pounding, I knew it was getting near the point where it was a knee re-placement or find something new.” “The first treatment I felt great and each treatment for the five weeks that followed it became better and better. I mean I was going out danc-ing. I have grand kids, I play with them, I run with them. I volunteer and... do playtime with little children and you know it’s picking up toys and I volunteer at a nursing home. So I’m walking around, I take animals to the nursing home, so I’m walking the different floors and I have no problem – no problem whatsoever.”

How To Guarantee You Get A No-Risk, No-Obligation Knee Screening

The popularity of this treatment is amazing. Osteo Relief Institute receives an overwhelming num-ber of new patient inquires every month. But because this is real medical treatment- it is not for every-one. That’s why the experts have set-up a quick and easy No-Risk screening visit. This screening will help determine if you are a candidate for further examination and treatment. This screening is offered without any obligation what-so-ever, and you will get all of your questions

an- swered and find outif this treatment is for you with zero risk. Just call 719-323-6612. “l’d like a No-Obligation knee screening.” They will take care of every-thing. Due to over-whelming demand, spots are limited - but if you call in the next 2 days, Osteo Relief guarantees you will get your screening. This treatment is covered by most insurance and Medi-care. If you have knee arthritis pain -call now to see if you can get help.

How It Works: Advanced medical technology has now made it possible to safely relieve knee arthritis pain for many.When you have knee arthritis, the natural lubricating fluids in your knee “dry up.” This causes abnormal friction. Bones rub against each other, leading to stiffness, pain and eventually total joint destruction. This treatment works so well because a special lubricating gel is put directly into the arthritis joint...Instantly allowing the joint to glide more smoothly. Imagine putting oil on a rusty door hinge. Osteo Relief uses state-of-the-art digital imaging to see inside the knee joint to make sure the FDA-Approved lubricating gel medicine is placed precisely where you need it to get the best possible results.

“ I just thank God for this treatment”

“I really, couldn’t hardly walk. They wanted to replace both my knees, and I did not want both my knees replaced.” “Since I had the treatment I had been able to walk, I was able to walk up the steps. I was able to bend my knee and I’m able to shop in the supermarket with the car-riage, which I was never able to do all the time - now I’m able to walk down the street and able to walk in the park. I’m able to even lift things and go up the steps which is a miracle. I just thank God for the treatment.” “It made me feel like a new woman. It was amazing.” ”I can’t thank that doctor and staff enough for what they had done for me. I would tell anyone who has gone through what I have to take the step.” ”I wish I’d known about this option years ago.”
