One last look: Dozens take tour of iconic American Eagles Overlook By Audrey Jensen ajensen.yourpeaknews@gmail.com Dozens of people donned protective vests, glasses and helmets and trudged up a steep path Saturday, May 21, to take one last tour of the historic American Eagles Scenic Overlook above Victor. The tour was hosted by the Southern Teller County Focus as a fundraiser for the Victor Lowell Thomas Museum. The tour included Jack Henris, general manager of mine, and Brad Poulson, CC&V community affairs specialist, who spoke to the tour group. For over 20 years, the overlook was open to the public, offering visitors panoramic views of the gold mine and the Sangre de Cristo Mountains beyond. Over 6,000 people visited the site each year, Victor tourism officials have said. They say the loss of the overlook could be a severe blow to the tourism economy of Victor. It became a major tourist attraction in Victor

among folks drawn to its iconic 1895-circa headframe, massive hoist, blacksmith shop and other historic artifacts at the highest mine in the district at 10,700 feet. The March 21 tour included more than 100 guests who paid $10 apiece and carpooled to the overlook, which permanently closed to the public in April due to safety concerns of tourist traffic crossing a haul road used by huge mining trucks. Gary Horton, senior environmental coordinator for the CC&V Mine’s parent company, Newmont Mining Corp., gave guests a 30-minute informal presentation explaining the history of the overlook and the mine, which was discovered and purchased by Winfield Scott Stratton in 1895. The May 21 tour included Colorado Springs resident Marilyn Gosch, who said she used to visit Cripple Creek and Victor when her son was young. Photo courtesy of Greg Loskorn Gosch said she believes the overlook’s closing is Jack Henris, GM of the Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mine, and Brad Poulson, throwing away history that can never be regained.

By Pat Hill pathill@yourpeaknews.com Jayson Baker’s Peak Internet is closing in on connecting the entire city of Woodland Park with a high-speed, fiber-optic network. And he is doing it despite an interruption last fall that resulted in a tense confrontation with city leaders. “Last year we were half-way through the build-out when the city changed the rules for working in the rights-of-way,” Baker said last week. Over the course of three months, Baker worked with the city to develop an ordinance that refined the rules, which took

effect in January. “With the new ordinance, we have to apply for a permit to work in each public right-of-way, or every 5,000 feet,” Baker said. The new rules resulted in Baker’s hiring Austin Weatherford, a recent graduate of Woodland Park High School. “Austin does the design work for our plans that we turn in to the city,” Baker said. “And now he’s taken on a lot of other duties.” Of course, whenever you dig in the streets, you are bound to break a pipe or sever a cable from time to time.

the project has caused some grumbling from homeowners. “When you have infrastructure that’s 40 or 50 years old, some of it is not locatable – so you’re bound to run into cables, water, sewer or phone lines, for instance,” Baker said. “We’ve had a handful of incidents in town where we’ve damaged something. But we repair everything.” In Paradise Estates recently, the company caused damage to a homeowner’s underground cable provided by CenturyLink. “As soon as the damage was discovered, we contacted CenturyLink and they dispatched a technician to inspect the damage,” Baker said. “Peak Internet assisted with the repair by excavating down to the damage so their technician could make the repairs.” Peak Internet will cover the cost of the

repairs, Baker said. To guard against cutting lines, the company uses the directional boring machine, which operates remotely. “The machine is similar to an oil well drilling rig that goes in the ground and spins toward a certain direction,” Baker said. When the technicians drill near a gas line, they call the gas company out to monitor the operation. “It’s a lot cheaper to locate the line and go underneath it,” Baker said, adding that technicians have never hit a gas line. Baker’s goal is to have the project completed by the end of the summer. “We deliver the fastest speed in Woodland Park, the only company that can deliver 1 Gbps, to homes,” he said.

GMF board opts for ‘Marshal’ American Eagles over ‘Police Chief’ for title By Pat Hill pathill@yourpeaknews.com Police Chief or Marshal? Does the moniker make a difference in perception and effect of law enforcement in Green Mountain Falls? Is “police chief” too uppity for a small town of 800? Does it send the wrong message? Apparently, the majority of the new Board of Trustees thinks so. With two trustees dissenting, the board passed a resolution May 17 that returns the title of “marshal” to the top law enforcement officer. The resolution sets the stage for the board’s vote to hire a marshal to replace former Police Chief Tim Bradley, who resigned a few days after Mayor Jane Newberry was elected April 5. In essence, the resolution was a slap at Bradley. Hired under the administration of former mayor Lorrie Worthey, Bradley was granted approval by the former board to change his title to “police chief.” He cited concerns about safety and professionalism in requesting the change. In approving Bradley’s request, the former board abandoned a traditional title of “marshal,” which had been used for more than a century. At the meeting May 17, Trustee Tyler Stevens balked at the resolution. “It is imperative for officer safety that ‘police’ is primary for identification,” Stevens said, adding that keeping the title of “marshal” is fine for secondary identification. Newberry disagreed, siding with tradition. “The resolution allows for the use of both terms, but I’ve heard over and over that people want to see ‘Marshal’ as the primary term,” she said. “Although I understand your concern for safety, there are marshals all over the state and the title doesn’t seem to be jeopardizing their safety.” And other newly elected trustees agreed with Newberry. “I feel this resolution is in keeping with

ing out here, risking their lives? We’re so spoiled,” Gosch said. Gosch added that the overlook is a special opportunity to the community and hopes they will make more overlooks in the future. Also on the tour were Jim and Lynda Ertel, also from Colorado Springs, who have visited Victor at least 10 to 15 times and have brought friends and family from out of state to see the mine and overlook. Jim Ertel also helped build a new road off of Highway 67 near Victor in 2002. “(I like) the history, what went on here and what it was like,” Jim Ertel said. “I hate to see it go, but I understand the mine situation.” His wife agreed that moving tourists to a safer overlook is a good compromise. “As long as they can relocate, citizens will be OK,” Lynda Ertel said. Mine spokesman Brad Poulson said CC&V decided to close the access to the mine because they became very concerned with public safety. “If there were ever an accident, it could affect 580 people that work here,” Poulson said. Since the closing was announced last October, area residents have mourned the loss of the overlook and its link to the legendary Stratton, the eccentric bachelor carpenter from Colorado Springs who struck it rich at the Independence mine, made $11 million and then spent much of at the American Eagles sinking three shafts in search of the “bowl of gold” he believed was buried beneath. Little is left today of 1890s gold camps that brought tens of thousands to Teller County. Gone are the mining towns like Altman, Independence, Mid-

citizens’ wishes and feel this is the framework within which we want to hire a marshal,” said Mayor Pro Tem Cameron Thorne. Stevens, along with Trustee David Cook, both members of the previous board, voted against the resolution. Along with passing the resolution, the board set June 2 as the deadline for applications. “Citizens have told me that a candidate who would feel uncomfortable being called ‘marshal’ is the wrong candidate,” Thorne said. While El Paso County, with backup from Teller County, has agreed to handle emergency calls, Newberry repeated Thorne’s view that the townspeople want a local officer. “People who live here would like to see someone come in and enforce the town’s ordinances,” she said. “We’ve had a lot of discussions about dogs off leash – and with summer approaching we need to move as swiftly as we can.” Applications for the job have come in from around the country, Newberry said. “We’d like to have a final decision by July 5,” she said. In addition to hiring a marshal, the board intends to appoint a committee to review applications for a town clerk or a town administrator. The hiring can’t be too soon, as interim clerk Renee Price announced that she has cut back her hours to two days a week. A few days after the meeting, Newberry said in an email that representatives from the state Department of Local Affairs will be coming to town May 23 to discuss some options. Newberry explained Price has had temporary help in the office and the board may look to hire more temporary help. “Or perhaps DOLA will help us find a semi-retired clerk for a couple days a week,” Newberry said. More turnover in town staff was revealed as Michael Cullinane, director of public works, announced that his assistant, Shawn Vigil, has resigned.

The American Eagles Overlook was the most visible of the few sites still surviving. Poulson said about 400 people live in Victor and 1,400 people live in Cripple Creek. In 2015, over 3,000 cars visited the mine and tours were provided to over 3,500 people. Last year, 190,000 ounces of gold was mined and this year, Poulson said their goal is to increase this number to 350,000. “Mining provides natural resources for our modern day lifestyle,” Poulson said. Poulson said he doesn’t believe there will be a loss of tourism with the attractions that Victor still provides. Newmont and CC&V expect to have another overlook open this summer and a second overlook open by this November. Visitors have access to general tours and 12 miles of hiking trails as well as access to the town’s shops and history. More information can be found on victorcolorado.com.

Awards confirm what readers know: Courier dedicated to local news PIKES PEAK BILL Bill Vogrin billvogrin@yourpeaknews.com

I admit I was thrilled when the slides flashed on huge screens in front of a packed Denver-area ballroom recently announcing The Courier had won top awards in a Colorado Press Association contest for our work in 2015. Typically, I avoid journalism awards banquets. I’m not much of a mingler or small-talk artist. And, to be honest, I don’t like to lose. Who wants to sit through hours of awards presentations only to pick up an “honorable mention” certificate? Readers are the only judges I need. And they aren’t shy about letting us know if we are screwing up. Fortunately, the overwhelming response has been praise for the work we’ve done since buying The Courier last June. Credit goes to our staff, which has busted its collective butts to dig up compelling news, to profile interesting people in Teller County, provide in-depth coverage of politics and local elections, to report important community events and document the growth of our area children and students. Readers certainly have responded. We have seen subscriptions climb along with advertising growth. We regularly hear from people who drop by the office to pick up extra copies of a particular edition and thank us for a well-written story, like Danny Summers’ excellent piece on Aspen Heidekrueger, who overcame cancer to become a cross-country running sensation. Others go out of their way to compliment Rob Carrigan for his well-researched commentaries on the history of the region. It’s not uncommon to hear praise for Pat Hill’s coverage of area schools and the ongoing saga of Green Mountain Falls. And our team has been widely praised for its dogged reporting of the Aquatic Center move, the open meetings violations, the one-sided agreement between the city and school district, and whether the city had done its home-

work exploring operating issues, staffing and cost questions. I was most proud of our role in providing a platform for all sides to debate the issues, pro and con. A few cynics chided us and accused us of tabloid journalism. But I will never apologize for raising important issues, the questions we asked, the changes in the contract we helped facilitate and the light we shed on open meetings laws. Still, I wanted to know how the work of my team was viewed by our peers. I wondered how they would judge The Courier in comparison to other small weekly newspapers. And how would we compare to The Courier of past years? The paper has fared well in previous Colorado Press Association contests. I hoped I hadn’t dropped the ball. In fact, our work earned us two first- and two secondplace awards from the CPA judges. Most satisfying was being recognized for our coverage of schools and examining why many in Woodland Park drive right past our community schools to take their children to Manitou Springs or Colorado Springs schools. Our investigation, led by Pat Hill, won first place from CPA judges. I hope it contributed to a better understanding of conditions in Woodland Park schools and maybe helped convince voters to invest more in their schools when they passed a sales tax increase in April. But that wasn’t the only award CPA judges bestowed on The Courier. Reporter Sonja Oliver also won a first place investigative award for her reporting on elevated fluoride levels in Cripple Creek water. It’s a great example of the kind of journalism we value at The Courier. Oliver had noticed the Cripple Creek Public

Water System’s annual report on a bulletin board in the Post Office. Curious, she took a copy and began reading. Buried deep inside was an alert to the public about city drinking water. “IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER - Elevated Fluoride Levels Detected,” read the report. Further, it warned that children, ages nine years old and younger, “should be provided with alternative sources of drinking water or water that has been treated to remove the fluoride to avoid the possibility of staining and pitting of their permanent teeth.” Oliver was tenacious in getting experts to explain the dangers to the public and options. As well, Danny Summers won second place awards for his story profiling Aspen, and another for a timely piece he wrote on the dangers of playing football, in light of revelations about concussions and other head injuries. Of course, we’re far from perfect. During the year we made our share of mistakes and missed some stories we should have reported. But we’re trying and, as always, we need your help. Please don’t hesitate to email me at billvogrin@yourpeaknews.com with story ideas, questions, comments or complaints. You never know when your little nugget of news will turn into next year’s CPA award-winner!

a sports-related injury requiring medical treatment. Many are garden variety mishaps like a turned ankle or a bloody nose. However, one stat is disturbing. As many as half of all youth sports injuries are the result of overuse due to an adultdriven regimen of sports play and training so intense that a child’s body rebels. Overuse injuries were virtually unheard of before grownups began to dominate every aspect of child play. According to Dr. John DiFiori, chief of sports medicine at UCLA, children entertaining themselves at their own pace, in their own way, simply do not play sports until it hurts. The CDC estimates that youth sports injuries account for 4.3 million hospital emergency room visits annually with orthopedic surgeons seeing four times as many overuse injuries as five years ago. Twenty-one percent of youth athletes say they have been pressured to play with an injury and 62 percent of sports-related injuries occur during practice making for a bad situation. Overuse injuries are the direct result of “too-much, toosoon.” The “too-much” is easily identified. Adults across the country have organized intense weekend tournaments in a multitude of sports, where four to five games are played within a 48-hour period. Combine that with the “single-sport-athlete” syndrome,

where talented youth are directed by their parents or coaches to play only one sport, year-round, with little downtime and it’s no mystery injuries occur. As for the “too-soon” aspect, Mark Hyman says it best in an excerpt from his book on youth sports: “Until It Hurts.” “Recently, I came across an old photo of my son Ben, then 18 months old, taken in our front yard. He’s bundled in a snowsuit and knit cap, his red face barely visible behind layers of fleece,” Hyman wrote. “All around him is a blanket of fresh snow. It’s a classic wintry scene that would make for an excellent holiday greeting card, except for one unsettling feature: Ben is posed beside a batting tee.” “Grasped in his red mittens is a plastic bat. Whose idea was it to hone the swing of a toddler in the dead of winter? What was I thinking?” Hyman’s book has been called the sports Bible for every parent with a kid in youth sports and for every coach. Perhaps, you know an adult who should read it?

Ute Trail Stampede and a view from the circle RESTLESS NATIVE Rob Carrigan robcarrigan@yourpeaknews.com

Often change moves in a circle. Everything old might be new again. It becomes evident when you look at things like the Woodland Park Saddle Club and the names, and history past. This year, on July 28, 29 and 30, it will celebrate the 60th running of the Ute Trail Stampede, resurrected in the form of a National Senior Pro Rodeo Association sanctioned event, says Merry Jo Larsen, of the Cowhand in Woodland Park. The event has been dormant since 2006, when the last Stampede thundered through Woodland Park. Larsen says she expects timed events like barrels, team roping, calf roping, ribbon roping, bull dogging and much more on that Thursday, Friday and Saturday. A golf tournament and Calcutta, a Thursday Parade, a six-horse draft horse hitch visit, and a Lions Club pancake breakfast are all scheduled for Rodeo Week in Woodland Park. The setup sounds familiar. In July of 1950, the local newspaper at the time, Woodland Park View, reported a “Large Parade”

and “Exciting Rodeo” for the three-year-old saddle club. An earlier article outlined how the club came into existence. “Organized under a large pine tree in the south corner of the ball park, in August 1947, 12 charter members were present: Mr. and Mrs. Ira Hollingsworth, Mr. and Mrs. Bob White, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Bean, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Atwell, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Maximoff, George Klumph, and sister Catherine, Carl Silbaugh, and Jack Willis. Ed Bean was elected the first president, with Herb Lyons succeeding him,” according to the View, which itself was only in it second volume and year. It was undergoing some changes as well. “In true editorial fashion, the Woodland Park View is going from the old to the new this weekend. Moving from Mrs. Whitmore’s Antique Shoppe, where it has been comfortably located for more than two months, the View will make its new home in the very modern United Gas Co. building. We welcome you, your news and your patronage,” noted a front page box in the same issue as the story on the successful Ute Trail Stampede.

“Through the generosity of Bert Bergstrom, new rodeo grounds were made available in the fall of ’49. The new grounds are located in the center of town, south of the business section. With the cooperation of the people of the county and active members of the Saddle Club, the new grounds are being completed with a race track and a grad stand to be built later,” reported the View. Oscar Lindholm, before he died, remembered Bert Bergstrom as a “big, rough, tough Swede, saloonkeeper at the Ute Inn, 231 pounds, that could drink quite lot of beer.” Oscar says at that at that time he, himself, could put it away as well, but added that he hadn’t indulged in the recent 30 years. Oscar kept in fighting shape then by walking around the lake in Green Mountain Falls several times each day. “That’s the best medicine,” he said. But Big Bert and Oscar were not alone, especially when the Stampede was in town. “With the casino blaring away, all the local night spots lit up (and others?) and the square dance at the school ‘fillin’ up the floor’, Everybody had a GOOD TIME,” according the 1950 article in the paper. Cowboys and spectator alike agreed: “It is the best arena in the state and so beautifully situated with Pikes Peak and the breathtaking mountain scenery in

As long as I am doing bits of ancient history, ever heard of Charles Aiken? He came to Colorado in the early 1870s, and became famous for the animals here in this area. He studied animals. And, back

then, his way of saving them was as a taxidermist! Yes, he stuffed animals. He had a little museum in downtown Colorado Springs. And he also sold examples of his skill. You may have even some of them. He even sent samples all over the world, but the best collection is at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. Aiken collected animals big to small, as well as birds and ducks. One of the real prizes in his shop were heads of bison, commonly known as buffalo. At the time it was thought that there were two varieties of them here, Mountain and

Plains Buffalo. It was later figured out that they were actually the same, but the ones in the mountains had longer hair and more fat. In this area the last “mountain” buffalo was shot up near Gillett, in 1879. The last report of a “plains” buffalo was east of Fountain in 1873. The lone buffalo was grazing near the site of present day Schriever Air Force Base. Two men, Hezekiah Bosworth and W.W. Perkins, were on the way to Perkins’ Sheep ranch when they saw it. They took after the big bull, but it turned and charged. Bosworth’s horse was knocked down, and the rider hit the ground. Perkins

shot the beast, and stopped it in its tracks. The animal was slaughtered and the head was sent to Aiken’s for mounting. There is another story of a lone buffalo wandering through Black Forest at about the same time. Tales of it do not include it being dispatched! When Aiken died, most of his collection went to Colorado College, which had a huge collection of examples already. One floor of a campus building was used as a museum. I understand Pioneers’ Museum has at least one of his mountings. I wonder . . . does the museum have the last buffalo’s head?

50 Years Ago – The Ute Pass Courier on May 26, 1966 Class of 1966: Baccalaureate services were held Sunday evening, May 22, at the Woodland Park High School gymnasium as 24 seniors received their diplomas in the 31st annual commencement exercises. This was the second class to graduate in the new high school. The invocation was followed by the address of Marian Ellen Evans, salutatorian, and Alana Parker, valedictorian. They told of the aims and aspirations of the class. Junior escorts were Christina Relindis Shaw, Merry Jo Stull, Boyd Leonard, Loren Lacy and Steve Eisele.

Mrs. Inman and Mrs. Denny went to Canon City to bring back the green and white reflective signs. Interesting roof: There has been considerable interest in the pre-stressed concrete roof being built on the Woodlane Bowling building. This is new in the construction field. It should demonstrate vividly the strength of the walls since the slabs swung into place last week by crane are double-decked. Bowling in Woodland Park is another of the town’s wishes, soon to be checked off the list.

Signs dedicated: An important milestone in the story of Woodland Park was marked Saturday morning as Mayor Glen Davis dedicated the first street sign erected at the corner of Park and Midland avenues. Mrs. Bess Inman, chairman of this $2,000 project, was recognized and thanks for the long hours she spent relentlessly gathering funds. She was assisted by other members of the Manitou Park Grange and received special donations from the Lions Club and Progressive Dames. It was a great day when

Set aside time this weekend to remember the ‘Forever Young’ Dan Williams Guest Columnist

The Memorial Day weekend is nearly here and for most it signals the beginning of summer. It means more trailers and boats will be passing through Teller County on U.S. Highway 24. School children will be home for the summer. And our snowbird population will be returning. All of these things are good and should be enjoyed. But whatever you have planned for Memorial Day weekend, I believe we should all set aside some quiet time to reflect on those who will always be “forever young.” They are the reason for the holiday, after all: the men and women who died, far too young, serving this country. Memorial Day was originally called Decoration Day and was started after the Civil War to commemorate and decorate the graves of those who died in that war. After World War I, the holiday changed to honor not just the Civil War dead but Americans who died fighting in any war. In 1971, Congress officially recognized it as Memorial Day and standardized on the last Monday in May. For me and other Teller County veterans, it’s a time when we remember those who never made it home, des-

tined to remain in our memories “forever young.” Most found themselves thousands of miles away, far from loved ones, in places whose names they could not even pronounce. Yet they gave every ounce of their being, their very lives, in our defense. On Memorial Day, I’ll be thinking of Jimmy. In the days before the 2003 invasion of Iraq with the 3rd Infantry Division, I spent a lot of time with him. A new Army captain, Jimmy commanded a Blackhawk helicopter company. I was an Apache helicopter Battalion Commander at the time and we would fly escort and cover for his helicopters, which were often filled with soldiers and supplies. I remember how Jimmy was so very proud of his service. He showed me a watch that his dad had presented him before his combat tour. He always had a great attitude and a boyish smile. As we walked to our helicopters, he waved and said: “See you soon, sir.” I still see him like it was yesterday. Jimmy and eight other soldiers were killed when the helicopter he was piloting flew into the ground at night in heavy fog just outside of Karbala, Iraq. As I pushed my battalion to Baghdad, I sent helicopters back to the scene to recover bodies and equipment, include Jimmy’s watch. Today, Jimmy lies in Arlington National Cemetery. Some of his men lie a few feet away. White marble stones are etched with their names to remind the world they lived and died for this country. To me, Jimmy is forever young. I went on to serve my country another 11 years after his death. I took Jimmy’s memory with me each time I entered combat zones. His sacrifice was a beacon of inspiration. He remains an inspiration to me today. He reminds me

to cherish each day I have been given, to help others, to leave the world better than I found it. This Memorial Day, Teller County veterans will be remembering as well. The VFW, American Legion, Purple Heart Society, Special Operations organizations and others will visit the graves of every veteran buried in every cemetery in Teller County. They will place a fresh American Flag on every grave, pause to remember and offer a salute of thankfulness and honor. The most recently departed veteran buried in our county will have a special ceremony performed graveside, often with the participation of family members. I invite you to join us this Memorial Day. Stand before the graves and glimpse all the flags waving before you. Picture the young man or woman who died on foreign soil, so far from family and home. Listen to Taps and brace yourself for the gun salute. Take a few moments to remember the reason for the day. Remember those who left our country and their families full of hope, pride, bravery and service and made the ultimate sacrifice for each of us. Their sacrifices will have not been in vain as long as we remember and honor them and keep them in our minds, forever young.

Dan Williams is a 30-year Army veteran who served combat tours in Iraq, Afghanistan and Kosovo. He retired to Teller County and commands the American Legion Post 1980 in Woodland Park. He is the Teller County planner. His wife, Suzan, served 28 year in the Army Nurse Corps.

Lofthouse Condo plan gets the go-ahead Woodland Aquatic Center construction contract approved By Norma Engelberg njengel60@gmail.com Demolition at the Lofthouse Motel started May 11 when about 250 Home Depot volunteers came from all over the country to help. Now, with unanimous approval by the Woodland Park City Council at its May 19 meeting, the rest of the work on the Lofthouse Condominiums can start. Jamie Caperton, Habitat for Humanity executive director, and project architect Ken Hartsfield detailed plans to turn the abandoned motel into condominiums for families and individuals who meet Habitat home-ownership standards. Qualified families must make only 30-60 percent of the area median income, which for Woodland Park is about $78,000 per year. They also must have good credit, or a rating that is easily fixed. To qualify, each family must take a homebuyers’ education course and put in 300-400 hours of “sweat equity.” The Home Depot volunteers donated about 100 hours of sweat equity to each of the nine families that meet the requirements. About $300,000 in materials and labor has already been donated. Each condo will be owned by the family, who will be able to sell it after five years. “We think of these homes as starter homes,” Caperton said. “The owners will be allowed to sell them and move up, but the condos will never be rental units.” Meanwhile, the council learned Adolfson & Peterson Construction is about to begin building the Woodland Aquatic Center. Voters approved a $10.1 million bond to build the center. And the construction contract will not exceed $11.85 million. City Manager David Buttery said the extra $1.7 million will come from the city’s savings in key funds. The project also received a $50,000 boost from the El Pomar Foundation. According to Mayor Neil Levy, the foundation might also provide matching funds out of a different pot of grant money. The Woodland Aquatic Center groundbreaking ceremony is at 12:30 on May 26 at the building site, 111 N. Baldwin St. Among other presentations, the council heard from Ted Borden, of the Community of Caring Foundation and the Aspen Mine Center, and Ralph Power, the new Teller Senior Coalition executive director. Borden and Power talked about the “Teller County Five-Year Strategic Transit and Coordination Plan.”

RADON TESTING and MITIGATION SERVICES: TELLER COUNTY RADON LEVELS:

The Average Level in Teller County is 11.4 pCi/L. Unfortunately, The EPA Compliance Level for a home is only 4.0 pCi/L. According to the Surgeon General, “Radon gas is the second leading cause of lung cancer next to smoking”. There should be no worries because any house can be safely mitigated to reduce dangerous Radon Levels.

As members of the Local Coordination Council, these two and others have been working on a countywide transit plan for about a year. A recent transit-needs study showed that 47 percent of county residents believe there aren’t enough transportation choices and 51 percent of residents would use public transportation if it were available between Woodland Park and Cripple Creek and perhaps Cripple Photo by Norma Engleberg Creek and Canon City. Ian Warner is the project manager for the Woodland Aquatic Center. His company, Adolfson The plan recommends & Peterson Construction, won the bid to build the facility.

Students find there’s a lot to be learned in the great outdoors By Pat Hill pathill@yourpeaknews.com Sixth-graders at the Mountain Academy for Arts and Sciences discovered their muse amid dirt, plants, branches and twigs. Asked to craft a sculpture of natural objects on the ground, the students designed a piece that could be destroyed within hours. The lesson is the temporary nature of natural artistry, the power of rain and snow as well as the dynamics of the outdoors. “The discoveries they make, such as making a sculpture with objects they find on site, is part of the value of time spent outside,” said Miles Groth, the academy’s teacher at Ute Pass Elementary School in Chipita Park. “The cool part is the unstructured play.” The creative exercise came on the third day of the academy’s outdoor classrooms the week of May 16. In addition to building the sculptures, the students crafted large birds’ nests along the trail behind the school. The week was not what Groth imagined when he scheduled the week of May 16 for the outdoor experience. On Monday, the weather turned, well, spring-like. “We built garden beds, filled them with dirt – and got a hailstorm in the middle of it,” Groth said. While they all ran for cover, within a half-hour the students were back outside. The next day, Tuesday, it snowed. No problem for these kids – they planted, hiked the trail and studied the flora and fauna. “The idea is to stay outside where the kids get dirty,” Groth said. On Wednesday, the wind blew in, and temperatures hovered in the 40s for most of the day with a little rain thrown in. “We were only indoors for about two hours all week,”

The sit-spot exercise counters the onslaught of technological screen devices in a students’ world today. “As a teacher, it’s hard to find a balance,” Groth said. “You don’t want kids to be obsessed with technology.” The week concluded with an overnight camping trip Thursday, returning Friday afternoon. For Groth, the outdoor education week is a look into the future. “We need environmental stewards, need them to become champions of the environment,” he said. “It’s a passion of mine.”

Photo by Pat Hill Students of Miles Groth are playing Scavenger, a hunt for objects that correspond to letters of the alphabet. Groth said. “They were outside for the snow, but they needed to warm up inside.” Wednesday’s events concluded with Groth’s “Sit Spot” exercise in the forest-like setting behind the school. Told to “go,” the students ran off to their chosen spots where they would sit for at least 10 minutes by themselves. “This is a common routine in outdoor education, to be quiet and still,” Groth said. “It’s a tough skill to learn.”

Pioneers band, choir win division and an overall award By Annie Durham Special Correspondent It was quite a roller-coaster ride for the Cripple CreekVictor High School Band and Choir at the 2016 Music in the Park Festival in Denver on Saturday, May 7. There are two options for schools that participate in the festival: they can either opt to perform at Elitch Gardens, receive a participation award, then explore the park for the day; or they can perform in a judged competition against other schools, then spend the rest of the day in the park. In past years, Dave Dunkin, Pioneers music program director, opted for participation in the performance portion, only. This year, he felt the band and choir were ready to engage in the competitive aspect of the festival. His faith was rewarded when both the band and choir earned first place awards in their divisions. Then came the overall competition awards, traditionally given to the largest schools with the most seasoned performers. Among the honors bestowed is the Esprit de Corps Award, given to the school that showed the best citizenship, most class, respect and pride at the competition. Again, Dunkin and his band and choir took home honors as they won the Esprit de Corps Award, beating out Cheyenne Mountain and Harrison high schools, among others.

Disc Golf tournament a success at Shining Mountain 180 disc golfers packed course May 13-15 By Danny Summers dannysummers@yourpeaknews.com Could disc golf replace “ball golf” someday? For now, it’s growing as a force in sports and sharing space at Shining Mountain Golf Club, which was the site for the Third Annual Cinco de Mayo Meltdown disc golf tournament May 13-15 in Woodland Park. The tournament attracted 180 disc golfers from six states to compete on the par 62, 18-hole course for three days of fun. The field filled up in 12 hours after registration opened earlier this year. There were 32 disc golfers on the waiting list. “I had a feeling it was going to be a success, and it was,” said Woodland Park resident Bruce Derington, who designed the disc golf course at Shining Mountain a couple of years ago. “Everyone seemed to have a great time and we’re looking forward to having many more events out here.” Derington, an avid disc golf player for more than 30 years, competed in the event while the Palmer Lake-based company Throw Colorado ran the show. “We had so many people come up to us saying this was the best tournament in our state – ever!” said Eddie Wooters, co-owner of Throw Colorado. “Shining Mountain was a high caliber course and it was challenge to players of all skill levels. “The fairways were manicured, there were sand traps and

lots of (out of bounds), and we got to stare at Pikes Peak the whole time.” The event was sanctioned by the Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA). “We plan to have another sanctioned professional event at Shining Mountain this summer,” Wooters said. “We want to keep this great relationship with Shining Mountain.” Derington, 53, was the driving force behind Shining Mountain having a disc golf course. Three years ago he began playing “ball” golf and got into a conversation with some players on the course about possibly building a disc golf course on the site. “The management at Shining Mountain asked me what we can do to get more people out here,” Derington said. “I designed a course, put some poles in the ground and hung some baskets, and last November we had our first tournament.” Seventy-two players participated in the first event at Shining Mountain last fall, paving the way for the Cinco de Mayo event. “This is the first combined golf and disc golf course in the state,” Derington said. In recent months, Derington has designed a disc golf course at Aspen Valley Ranch in Woodland Park, with plans for another. “The plan is by next spring to have three of the best disc golf courses in the state right here in Woodland Park,” Derington said. Shining Mountain allows disc golf after 3 p.m. The fee is $10 per player per day; $5 for students and military with ID. Carts are also available for $10. “You can’t beat the views of our beautiful golf course,” Derington said.

Abbott helps team bring home gold at state track meet By Danny Summers dannysummers@yourpeaknews.com A Teller County athlete struck gold at the state high school track meet for a second consecutive year. Colorado Springs Christian School sophomore Lannan Abbott, a resident of Woodland Park, was part of the Lions’ 4x400 meter relay team that won the Class 3A title at Jefferson County Stadium in Lakewood on May 21. In winning, the relay team set a school record in the process. “We were all so motivated,” Abbott said. “We felt really good in prelims, so we said ‘Why not go for it?’ We had

a perfect opportunity and everything worked out.” Abbott ran the lead for the CSCS squad that finished in 4 minutes, 05.98 seconds. The other members of the team included senior Abby Skrastins, and juniors Julia Ridgway and Erika Thompson. They beat second-place Alamosa by 27/100ths of a second. “It has not really set in,” said an elated Abbott. “I feel so blessed with this wonderful opportunity.” Abbott joins Hayden Erickson, a 2015 Woodland Park High School graduate, who have won state titles in back-to-back years. Erickson won the 4A shot put title last spring.

Abbott competed in three other events at the state meet. She missed qualifying for the 100 finals 04/100ths of a second, she fell in the 300 hurdles finals and finished ninth, and was disqualified in the 4x100 relay due to a baton being dropped by one of the other team members. Cripple Creek-Victor freshman Jordan Lanning had a memorable meet competing in 2A. Lanning finished fourth in the high jump (5-feet, 1 inches – her best peal of the year), sixth in the 100 hurdles (17.25), 11th in the triple jump (52-6.25) and 17th in the long jump (13-11). CSCS was represented by several other athletes that call Teller County home. The Lions 4x400 boys relay team included Jacob Hoekert and Jake Zander finished fourth.
