Teller County has Colorado’s smallest dairy Farmstead produces goat cheeses, lotions, soaps By Norma Engelberg

nengelberg@ourcoloradonews. com When someone says the word “dairy,� Teller County does not come to mind. That might be so but there is one state-licensed dairy in the county, Stone Creek Farmstead north of Divide. The farmstead, owned by Bob

and Diane McMillan, is the state’s smallest licensed dairy farm and it has the smallest licensed pasteurizing unit on the market. “It is illegal to sell cheeses made from unpasteurized milk in the United States,� Diane McMillan said. Bob McMillan said the farmstead has 11 goats. “We milk seven goats each day,� he said. “That makes us the state’s smallest commercial dairy by a really wide margin. Each goat provides about 8 gallons of milk at a milking and we produce about 60 pounds of goat cheese and oth-

Coming from Minnesota, as soon as they arrived in alpine Colorado the McMillans started looking at crops and animals that would thrive at 9,100 feet. They learned that in the late 1890s and early 1900s the Divide area was known for its commercial potato farms, so now they grow potatoes. Because of an abundance of wildflowers they added bee keeping. Then they asked themselves what kind of a farm it would be without chickens so they added Silver Laced Wyandottes, which Bob McMillan said is adapted to high elevations. Finally, they added a small goat

herd. “We have two kinds of goats, Nubians and Swiss Oberhaslis,� Bob McMillan said. “Combining their milks makes the best cheese.� He added that part of the farmstead’s mission is education. “Goats have had a lot of bad press over the last few thousands of years,� he said. “We’re trying to dispel those notions. Goats are wonderful, gentle creatures. They’re comical animals.� The goats were recently on “maternity leave� for a few months and milking has just started up again for the summer season. The cheeses made in the Farmstead’s commercial kitchen in-

clude Chevre, Crottin, Bloomy Bleu, classic and applewood smoked Gouda, Cabra el Vino and Camembert. These cheeses are sold onsite but also at the Woodland Park Farmers Market during the summer and at the Mountain Naturals Store, also in Woodland Park. The website, www.stonecreekfarmstead.com, states that some of the goat cheeses are also featured in recipes at The Warehouse Restaurant in Colorado Springs. Besides making and selling goats-milk products, the farmstead also offers classes in cheese making, bread making and soap making. Check out the website for more information.

The Aspen Mine Center in Cripple Creek was jam-packed the afternoon of April 30 as 100 people formed a long line hoping to find the source of a paycheck. With 15 businesses to choose from, the potential applicants found a variety of skill demands at the fair sponsored by the Pikes Peak Workforce Center. “There are 100 jobs available here today,� said Bob Gemignani, business specialist for the workforce center. For Kristen Start, who recently graduated with a degree in creative writing and a minor in psychology, the fair was an opportunity to learn about businesses in Teller County. “I have student loans to pay off,� said Start, a new resident from Maine. To pay the bills, Start works as a consultant for Mary Kay cosmetics in addition to selling her crafts in various venues. On the other hand, Courtney Ankrum is caught in a vicious circle. “People won’t hire me because I don’t have any job experience,� she said. “I have a little boy to take care of; I’m just barely making it through.� Another new resident, Domenica Hillgrube, is confident in her skills and hopeful she’ll find a match. “I’ve done it all, medical records, receptionist, secretary, administrative assistant,� she said. Representatives of Camp Alexander in Lake George, Johnathan Bowerman and Denison Wiedman, were hoping to hire an aquatics director and a maintenance person. At Prospect Home Care & Hospice, Christine Faughn, Helping Hands coordinator, and Barb Owings, director of opera-

tions, spent the afternoon talking up the organization to job hopefuls. “We have openings for personal-care providers and people with homemaking skills,� Faughn said. “We also need volunteers.� The timing of the fair is no coincidence. “This is the time casinos are hiring, so that’s why we chose this date,� said Hank Nelson, the workforce center’s coordinator in Cripple Creek. As well, with the expansion of the Cripple Creek & Victor Mining Co., the work done by Ames Construction, both businesses, along with the casinos, attracted dozens of applicants. One of them, Wyatt McClure, learned that he been chosen for a paid internship at the mine. McClure has been accepted at the Colorado School of Mines in the fall. McClure was one of 27 job seekers from the Cripple Creek & Victor High School, all of whom had taken Loyd Mowery’s careerreadiness class. While partaking of the free food at the fair, one of the students was overheard to say, “If I can’t find job, at least I can eat.� For some people in Teller County, the effects of the Great Recession linger on. “We need to do this job fair because it’s been so tough,� said Ted Borden, director of the Community of Caring which hosted the event. “If they haven’t landed a job by now, it’s panic time.� There’s reason to panic. With unemployment in Teller County at 8.7 percent, up .3 percent from December, more than 1,000 people are out of work. The statistics don’t include those who have given up. In El Paso County, with an unemployment rate of 8.6 percent, more than 25,000 people are out of work.

WP implements Level 2 watering restrictions Makes board, committee appointments By Norma Engelberg

nengelberg@ourcoloradonews.com A relatively wet April has lessened the ongoing drought for all but southeastern Colorado but Woodland Park isn’t taking any chances when it comes to saving water for the rest of 2013 and 2014. Woodland Park Utilities Director Kip Wiley told the Woodland Park City Council on May 2 that even with recent gains, the city’s share of transbasin water transported from the Western Slope through the Homestake Pipeline is well below average. Transbasin water makes up 25-35 percent of the city’s physical water supply and is used as augmentation water, replacing what the city draws from local water sources. “Augmentation water makes it legal for us to use our local water sources,” Wiley states in his staff report to council. “…The physical water needs of the city are not expected to be a problem in 2013. However, the outlook for future years is uncertain at this time and we are planning for future years.” To help save augmentation water for the rest of 2013 and 2014, he recommended that the city implement Level 2 watering restrictions, starting May 9. Level 2 restrictions allow watering only two days a week. Details will be posted on the city website, www.city-woodlandpark.org, once the restrictions take effect or call 719-687-5208 for more information. “Level 2 is our strictest level,” Wiley said. “If the drought gets worse we will have to take a new look at our codes.”

Council approved the implementation unanimously. It also appointed Renee Bunting as an alternate to the Utilities Advisory Committee. There were also three positions open on the city’s Parks and Recreation Advisory Board and four applicants. Council approved Patrick Pine’s reappointment to the board and a new appointment for Bill Sinclair but couldn’t decide between incumbent Donna Engle and new applicant Stacey Leichliter. They’ll vote again at the May 16 meeting. Council also recognized Lt. Col. Dan Hibner, Commander of the 4th Engineer Battalion and his wife Teresa. The city’s relationship with the battalion started 1992. The battalion was disbanded for a while but when it was reestablished the relationship was reestablished, as well. “It’s an honor to have you here in Woodland Park,” said City Manager David Buttery. “We appreciate all you do for our county,” said Mayor Pro Tem Eric Smith “You (Woodland Park) do so many things for our community,” Hibner answered. “It’s an honor for us to be looked after so well.” The city flies the battalion flag at Lions Park whenever any part of its companies are in harm’s way, Buttery said. Smith gave Hibner a city pin and gave red roses to his wife.

The relationship Woodland Park has with the 4th Engineer Battalion at Fort Carson was celebrated at the May 2 Woodland Park City Council meeting where Battalion Commander Lt. Col. Dan Hibner and his wife Teresa were introduced. Photo by Norma Engelberg

nengelberg@ourcoloradonews.com The federal Affordable Health Care Act goes into full effect Jan. 1. It sets the threshold for part-time workers to earn health insurance from their employees at 32 hours a week. That’s why at its May 1 meeting Cripple Creek City Council approved a change, cutting part-time hours for its part-time employees to 29 hours or fewer per week so that the city won’t have to provide their health insurance. Despite the fact that there were a dozen items on the council-meeting agenda, councilmembers, keeping an eye on the snowstorm outside, managed to clear the agenda in about 30 minutes. A couple of agenda items were pulled either by the applicant or by city attorney Lee Phillips, another was postponed to the May 15 council meeting and the rest, a rezoning of Mt. Pisgah

Small turnout decides Victor special election Teller County arrests By Norma Engelberg

nengelberg@ourcoloradonews. com The question was should the city of Victor repeal its building codes. The short answer, according to a handful of voters on April 30, was “no.” Several months ago, two longtime Victor residents Marshall Winblood and Don Daniel, a former Victor councilmember and current Cripple Creek-Victor RE-1 School District board member, circulated a petition asking if citizens wanted the city council to repeal it building codes. Daniel said the building codes provided by the county were not friendly to the city’s many centuryold buildings and that the repeal was a wake-up call to city council to replace the codes with something better for local property owners. After the petition signatures were declared sufficient, Victor City Council had two options: repeal the

Victor City Administrator Debra Downs. File photo codes immediately or have a special election to decide the matter. They went for the second option, unanimously. Mayor Buck Hakes said at the time that the city was already work-

ing on new codes and that leaving the city with no codes for several months wasn’t wise. Voters agreed with him by a vote of 21 to 18 with one provisional vote remaining to be resolved. “We will repeal the existing codes at a better time when we have something to replace them with,” said City Administrator Debra Downs. “We’re planning a town hall meeting at 6:30 p.m. on May 29 to answer questions and get feedback from residents on new codes.” Residents will have an opportunity to ask questions, give their opinions and talk to members of the building-code revision committee, as well as to the consultants hired to help the process along. Special elections come at a cost but Victor City Clerk Sandy Honeycutt doesn’t have the final pricetag, yet. That will be announced at a council meeting after the bills arrive.

The following list of arrests is provided by area law enforcement agencies. An arrest is not an indication of guilt or innocence and there might be several people with the same name living in the county.

Cripple Creek Police Department April 27 Stephen Fioco, 45, of Florissant was summonsed and released with charges of driving under restraint and speeding. April 29 Robert Donnelly, 30, transient, was arrested and booked into the Teller County Jail on charges of unlawful possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and driving under restraint. Bond was set at $1,000. May 2 Eric Davis, 24, of Cripple Creek was arrested and released on summons on charges of

driving under the influence and careless driving. May 3 Christopher Phillips, 38, of Cripple Creek was arrested and booked into the Teller County Jail on charges of domestic violence, violation of restraining order and menacing. Bond was set at $4,000.

Teller County Sheriff ’s Office April 21 Monica Nancy Paradise, 24, of Cripple Creek was arrested on a warrant charging failure to comply on an original charge of forgery. Bond was set at $20,000. April 23 Daniel Joseph Montesano, 30, of Woodland Park, while incarcerated, was served with a warrant charging failure to appear on an original charge of harassment. Bond was set at $10,000.

Levy named Volunteer of the Year By Pat Hill

NATIONAL ALZHEIMER’S PROJECT ACT

phill@ourcoloradonews.com Recognized for her work with caregivers of loved ones who suffer dementia, Paula Levy of Woodland Park has been named Volunteer of the Year by the Alzheimer’s Association. “While Paula is very visible in the community hers is a quiet visibility,� said Barbara Caudle, the association’s regional director. “She is humble, never seeks attention for herself and is always trying to think of ways she can help the families in this community.� Levy leads a support group for caretakers in Teller County, which meets twice a month at the Woodland Park library. “Paula has been an advocate for people with dementia and their caregivers for many years,� Caudle said. “As well, she has been a wonderful supporter of our events. A lot of times the quiet folks are the ones who don’t get the recognition.� Last month, Levy offered information, along with hope, for a group of caregivers at the Lunch and Learn series sponsored by the Greater Woodland Park Chamber of Commerce. “For this community, Paula is really the face of the Alzheimer’s Association. People up here know and trust her, feel comfortable using our services through her,� Caudle said. “Like many nonprofits we would not exist without our volunteers. It’s about people connecting with other people.�

Chamber eases path to health insurance By Pat Hill

phill@ourcoloradonews. com A maze, aggravating, perplexing and potentially beneficial, the Affordable Care Act and the attendant health-insurance policies have most people in a quandary. Among the flurry of health-insurance plans is one by HumanaSelect, an exclusive plan offered only to members of the Greater Woodland Park Chamber of Commerce. “Businesses with up to 99 employees are eligible for the plan which is for businesses, not for individuals,� said Debbie Miller, the chamber’s president. “But it can be a business of one.� Depending on the benefits offered, businesses can save up to 10 percent on a comparable plan from other companies, Miller said. “This is something I’ve been working on since I got here.� For chamber members there’s a convenience factor built in, as the healthprovider network includes Pikes Peak Regional Hospital in addition to Memorial and Penrose-St. Francis health systems.

Lena Farmer, of the Insurance Connection, devised the plan more than five years ago, for the Colorado Springs Chamber of Commerce. “The product is an HMO and is not available to anyone else other than a chamber member,� Farmer said. “Because of the program’s uniqueness, we were able to negotiate stronger contracts with the hospitals as well as Colorado Springs Health Partners, which has a clinic in Woodland Park.� The options include medical, vision and dental coverage, in addition to the HumanaVitality benefit. “It’s a wellness program with incentives for employees to take better care of themselves,� Miller said. Under the benefit, employees can talk to a health coach by phone, enroll in online programs for tobacco cessation and weight management or enroll in clinical programs to help manage chronic conditions. With the Humana dental coverage, members can save up to 28 percent by using dentists in the network. With the vision plan, employees receive discounts on lenses, lens options, contact lenses and Lasik procedures.

Julie Matthews, who owns the Insurance Center in Woodland Park, highlights the auxiliary benefits of providing insurance for employees. “By taking advantage of this program, business owners are supporting the local economy by supporting other businesses through the Chamber,� she said. As the chamber benefits the community, so, too, does the plan benefit the members. “Offering group health coverage is a way to attract and retain employees, so by offering benefits and doing so through the chamber option, it goes back to that support of the local economy, on several levels,� Matthews said. With all the controversy surrounding the Affordable Care Act, Matthews offers a calm-down bromide. “The ACA is here to stay, so it’s important that individuals and businesses are aware of guidelines and deadlines,� she said. “It’s important to be aware of what options are available and what penalties or benefits will affect them. What is a good fit for one business may not be the best for all, so meet with a broker and be advised.�

Life is good for Sue Wright these days. Colorado Physical Education Teacher of the Year, Wright scooped up another award, this one for Summit Elementary School in Divide. Last month the school earned designation as Healthy School Champions by the Colorado Legacy Foundation. The award comes with $1,000 in seed money for programs that promote health and wellness. With the initiation of a jump-rope team, Wright has, over the years, made physical activity the in-thing at school. “Seven years ago, I had maybe 10 on the team; this year I have 35,” she said. “I like to think it’s enthusiasm, wordof-mouth and it’s cool. The students are advocates for healthy nutrition and physical activity.” Armed with data that connects health with academic

achievement, Wright takes a long view of physical education. “A healthy active lifestyle is like an insurance policy for one’s life,” she writes in an essay outlining her educational philosophy. The award encompasses the students, the entire staff and the parents’ wellness committee, headed by Kathy Cefus, parent as well as the healthy living coordinator at the Community Partnership Family Resource Center. Under Wright’s direction, the students have become believers. “I think that students are becoming more empowered because they’re taking charge,” she said. As the physical education teacher, Wright is out in front on preparing the students for the future. “I think that students are becoming more empowered because they’re taking charge,” she said. “I believe that healthy active children learn better. And that’s what drives me.”

Lake George Charter School

The National Wildlife Federation generously donated 75 sapling trees to Lake George Charter School as part of the 75th Annual National Wildlife Celebration. During the last week of April students planted them on the new school property and learned how trees benefit wildlife, people and the environment, as well as how to identify native species, such as pinyon pine, Douglas fir, Ponderosa pine and the Colorado blue spruce.

Teachers and volunteers help Lake George Charter School students plant 75 trees on school grounds. The seedlings were donated to the school by the National Wildlife Federation as part of the 75th annual National Wildlife Celebration. Students learned about the value of trees in nature.

A snow and ice storm hit Teller County on May 1 and, according to Wes Ashton, Black Hills Energy senior program manager for Colorado, the ice that built up on the lines during the storm caused a couple of insulators to fail.

“The area where the insulators failed was quite a ways off the road and we couldn’t send a truck in,” he said on May 3. “To get the power on as quickly as possible, our guys had to walk in and do a workaround, bypassing the failed sec-

tion. It took about two hours. On Monday (May 6) they’ll go back in and replace the equipment. No outages are expected and no interruptions to customer services. Residents shouldn’t even notice a blip in their power.”

Charlie Goodnight rode high in the saddle To steal a line from Willie Nelson, “my heroes have always been cowboys, and they still are it seems.� But whom do cowboys choose as their hero? I think it just might be Charlie Goodnight. Locally, the Goodnight-Loving portion of the Santa Fe Trail, and perhaps even the naming rights for Cripple Creek are attributed to him. “I was on the frontier carrying a gun when I should have been in school,� an aging Charles Goodnight told his biographer years later. Goodnight was born in the farming region of Macoupin County, Illinois, (three days after the forming of the Republic of Texas) on March 2, 1836. His exploits are legendary and are woven into the very fabric of the West in general, and the histories of Texas, New Mexico, Colorado and the cattle industry in

specific. “He rode bareback from Illinois to Texas when he was nine years old. He was hunting with Caldo Indians beyond the frontier at thirteen, launching into the cattle business at twenty, guiding Texas Rangers at twenty four, blazing cattle trials two thousand miles in length at thirty, establishing a ranch three hundred miles beyond the

frontier at forty, and at forty-five, dominating nearly twenty million acres of range country in the interest of order. At sixty, he was recognized as possibly the greatest scientific breeder of range cattle in the West, and at ninety, he was an active international authority on the economics of the range industry.� So wrote J. Evetts Haley in his 1936 book “Charles Goodnight - Cowman and Plainsman.’ “He always rode beyond the borderlands, upon the ranges of unspoiled grass. He knew the West of Jim Bridger, Kit Carson, Dick Wooten, St.Vrain and Lucien Maxwell. He ranged a country as vast as Bridger ranged. He rode with the boldness of Fremont, guided by the craft of Carson. The vast and changing country which he

moved, the fertility of a mind that quickly grasped the significance of climate and topography, the inexhaustible energy of his mind and body, and the long period of time which he constantly applied himself to the Western World, operated to produce in this man an ample nature surpassing many more famous characters of frontier history‌ Now, a hundred years after his birth, his massive frame looms strong among the horsemen of the storied West,� wrote Haley. Much of Charlie Goodnight’s early experience was in fighting Indians, particularly Comanche raiders on the edge of the Texas frontier, first serving in the local militia, then as a Texas Ranger, and with the onslaught of the Civil War, as part of the Confederacy. But that was only the start.

Hoarding disorder often starts in childhood I personally collect nothing and save and store very little, however, the act of hoarding fascinates me. To that end, this headline recently caught my attention: “Las Vegas Hoarder Among Worst Case Ever Seen.� It seems 55 year-old Kenneth Epstein had hoarded so much that the duplex he lived in was stacked from floor to ceiling with stuff. The only means of moving through the house was to literally crawl on top of the piles. Most of Epstein’s belongings were contaminated with cockroaches, bedbugs and spiders. When a junk-removal company hauled away 22 truckloads in clearing just 60 percent of the house, they found among the debris 9 dead cats, 33 living cats and six refrigerators of food decaying so badly that the meat had liquefied. “We want to get this person in compliance with code but also show a little compassion for the man,� said Las Vegas City Councilman Stavros Anthony. “I went out there to talk with the gentleman and I could tell he needed some help.�

“I told him I wanted to help him,� Anthony continued. “He looked at me and said, `You know, you’re the first person to ever say that.’� According to Wikipedia, compulsive hoarding or “disposophobia� is the excessive acquisition of possessions and failure to use or discard them, even if the items are worthless, hazardous or unsanitary. The International Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Foundation identifies compulsive hoarding when a person displays all three of the following: collects and keeps a lot of items, even things that appear useless or of little value; these items clutter the living

spaces and keeps the person from using their rooms as intended; and these items cause distress or problems in day-to-day activities. Hoarding behaviors can begin as early as one’s teenage years, although the average age of a person seeking treatment for hoarding is around 50. Hoarders, often, have endured a life-long struggle with the disorder. What kinds of stuff do people hoard. Well, just about anything - mail, newspapers, magazines, books, clothing, containers, plastic bags and animals to name a few. Treatment generally includes office and home visits with a therapist who focuses on organizing, decision making and problem solving. In one trial study published in Behavior Research and Therapy, moderateto-severe hoarding patients who received comprehensive sessions over a 7 to 12 month period were much improved. Simply cleaning out a hoarders home without treating the underlying problem seldom works. Families and community

agencies can spend countless hours and thousands of dollars clearing a home only to find that the problem recurs, often within a few months. Serious hoarding usually requires professional help. Some options for treatment include support groups such as Clutterers Anonymous, http://sites.google.com/site/ clutterersanonymous/Home?pli=1, and the International OCD Foundation - Hoarding Center, http://www.ocfoundation.org/ hoarding/. Then there’s science fiction writer Phillip K. Dick’s take on hoarding captured in the word “kipple,� which he coined. According to Dick, kipple is the sinister type of rubbish that reproduces itself, like cardboard or shrink wrap that will eventually lead to the entire world being in a state of kipplization.

Watch for falling rocks It’s spring (finally/maybe). It’s time for aspen to leaf-out, bears to come out of hibernation, bedding plants to be set out too early and rocks to fall on Colorado’s mountain roads. The winter 2008 issue of the Colorado Geological Survey’s Rock Talk! magazine is all about “Rockfall in Colorado.� It states that the most dangerous times for rockfalls are springtime, after heavy rains and at night. It isn’t so much that more rocks fall at night; it’s just that you can’t see them. The headline on one of its stories says it all-“Random Acts of Gravity? When Rockfall Happens.� The article starts out with “Gravity never sleeps in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains,� then explains: “Gravity’s constant pull is actively operating on rocks high on steep slopes. When these rocks (both large and small) become destabilized, gravity causes them to roll, slide, or fall onto adjacent valley floors. When people, buildings, vehicles, or highways are in the path, these rockfall events can lead to tragedy—property loss, personal injury, or even loss of life.� The full issue is available online at http://geosurvey.state.co.us/pubs/Documents/rtv11n2.pdf. Most people who have lived in Colorado’s mountains for a while probably have falling-rock stories. After nearly 14 years of driving up and down Ute Pass, I have a couple, too. Once a small rock landed on top of my car and bounced around behind me on the pavment. Another time I came around a curve and had to swerve to miss a breadbox-sized rock in the middle of the right lane. Thankfully it was daytime and I was going the speed limit so I had time to get around it. In fact, lives are saved when drivers cut their speed in areas and at times when

rockfalls are likely to happen. Of course, anyone driving on Colorado’s always-under-construction highways is going to get windshield dings, road rash and sand-blasted. I ended up with about a dozen windshield dings after driving through a whirlwind pebble storm (kind of like a dustdevil but with small rocks instead of light sand or dust) at the entrance to the Cave of the Winds in Manitou Springs. And threeyears of driving between Colorado Springs and Pueblo when I was in college left me with, count ‘em!, 23 rock chips. My insurance company was not happy. There was a rockfall in Ute Pass on April 23. CDOT announced that the large boulders slid or rolled into U.S. 24 rather than falling onto the pavement, which means they didn’t do much damage. Crews pushed the rocks out of the way and came back with heavy equipment a few days later to start hauling them away. Of course, not all rockfalls happen on roads. There are incidents of rocks falling on homes, businesses and trails. Thousands of mostly tiny rocks fall from the sky every day; we call them meteors if they burn up in the atmosphere and meteorites if they hit the ground. I wouldn’t worry about meteorites though; we have closer rocks to worry about.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Partnerships build community resilience

The Waldo Canyon Fire tested El Paso and Teller counties, the Ute Pass Region and Colorado in ways that few had ever imagined. During this terrible crisis, Ute Pass communities, including Green Mountain Falls, came together to defend our homes and property from the ravages of a dangerous wildland fire. We watched in awe as our first responders held the lines and kept us safe. This event made it necessary for Green Mountain Falls to take our intergovernmental relationship with El Paso County to a new level. Prior to the fire we worked together to help make the Pikes Peak Rural Transportation Authority successful. Green Mountain Falls was an active participant in the Pikes Peak Area Council of Governments as well as the Storm Water Task Force. Relationships with our neighbors have always been something that we value. However, the fire brought those relationships to a new and different level. It tested our resources and it stretched us. During the fire, El Paso County stepped out and provided assistance to Green Mountain Falls when it was needed most. For that, we will always be grateful Most believe the crisis is over when the fire has been contained. But the Hayman Fire and its post-fire impacts on infrastructure

To that end, we continue to work closely with our neighbors in both El Paso and Teller Counties. Green Mountain Falls will remain committed to serving our citizens. It promises to be a tough summer for us here in the Ute Pass area. The potential for floods and fire can’t be understated. Sustaining these inter-governmental relationships with our neighbors allows us to pre-

pare together. As we look toward the busy summer and fall seasons, it’s important that our community builds upon the lessons learned from last year’s disaster.

1899-Cripple Creek train wrecks near Monument The Cripple Creek Express train, which left Cripple Creek at 3 p.m. on Dec. 29, 1899, was wrecked at a point between Monument and Palmer Lake on the Santa Fe line six hours later. Edner Jones, engineer of engine 917 hauling the fast freight from Denver, was killed, and fireman Leavitt of the freight and Engineer Turk of the Cripple Creek express train were injured. The wreck is supposed to have been caused by a failure of the orders given to the freight to locate the whereabouts of the Cripple Creek train. The latter train was supposed to have left Colorado Springs at 6:50 p.m. but was two hours and 10 minutes behind time, owing to western Colorado Midland connections. It left Colorado Springs at 9 p.m. The passengers were badly shaken up, but none was hurt. The Santa Fe continued its train traffic over the Colorado and Southern tracks, by way of Elizabeth, into Denver. At the scene of the wreck, the two engines were a mass of entangled iron and steel and were so tightly wedged that “considerable trouble will be experienced today clearing the wreck.” The wrecking train was at work shortly after midnight. Now if you are not a real student of railway history, you might wonder, why did the wreck happen there? In 1899 a train between Cripple Creek and Denver ran four times a day, every day. Two went south through Florence and Pueblo on the Denver and Rio Grande. Two went over the Midland Terminal, then Colorado Midland to Colorado Springs and on the Santa Fe to Denver. According to the newspaper story, the delay on this train was caused, in part,

by the Colorado Midland’s train from the west, which also had cars to go to Denver. The freight train, coming south from Palmer Lake should have waited for the passenger train before heading to Monument, but probably thought it had already gone by. The agent at Palmer Lake should have held it, knowing that the passenger train had not gone by. The other interesting aspect of this is the Santa Fe detouring their trains over the Colorado and Southern, which connected with their tracks at the Colorado Springs station. A train would have to go east from Colorado Springs to Falcon and north. This would add a couple hours to their trip, going through Elizabeth, east of Castle Rock and Parker to get to Denver. This line was taken up in the 1930’s. In 1917 this situation was resolved by the Rio Grande and Santa Fe changing the way their trains operated between Denver and Pueblo. Basically the trains going south ran on one line and the other line ran north. This eliminated the potential of running head on into another train. Mel McFarland, artist, author, retired teacher and railroader, is a Colorado Springs native who has a strong interest in the events of this area’s past.

Triple B hosts FAM run May 11 By Pat Hill

“When you’re older and get three severe sunburns, you’re at 75 percent higher risk.” In a shrewd bit of marketing, the two have succeeded in gaining five sponsors for FAM: Bronco Billy’s Casino, Schommer Construction, CH2M Hill, Clif Bar and Auto Paint, in addition to the Triple B Ranch. The race times are staggered, with the 5ks starting at 8, 8:30 and 9 a.m. and the 2ks at 9:45 and 10 a.m. The all-day festivities are from 8:00 a.m.to 4:30 p.m. and include horseshoes, face painting, a bounce house, volleyball, inflatable jousting, a silent auction and a snack shop. To register, go to www.thefightagainstmelanoma.org or www.active.com. The entry fee for the 5k is $40, for the 2k the fee is $30.

phill@ourcoloradonews.com After months of hard work and finelytuning details, Kelly Bullard and her sister Cortney Smith have everything in place for the Fight against Melanoma run May 11. The 2k or 5k FAM run, a fundraiser, is dedicated to their mother, the late Jackie Bullard, who died of melanoma Nov. 24, 2012. “The money goes for education and research; hopefully, when we get bigger we can do scholarship-type funding to help families with their medical bills for melanoma treatments,” Bullard said. The event is attracting people who are affected by the disease, many of whom are entered in the race. The sisters are dedicated to warning others about the harmful effects of sun and tanning booths, including speaking to a health class at the Woodland Park High School. “Melanoma is the fastest-growing disease among people 16 to 28,” Bullard said. Smith added. “They say that one time in a tanning booth can increase the odds of getting melanoma by 75 percent,” she said.

Daniels Fund ends student’s college money woes

Pikes Peak Courier View 9

Plans to attend Colorado College in Colorado Springs By Norma Engelberg

nengelberg@ourcoloradonews.com

Woodland Park High School senior Anjolenna Lutz’s plans for college are up in the air but not because of money. As a 2013 Daniels Fund scholarship winner, she will not have to take out loans to go the college. “That’s really important,” she said. “My dad went back to school and graduated in 1999. He’s still paying off his student loans. The Daniels Fund covers everything not already covered by other scholarships or that we can pay.” Lutz has attended school in Woodland Park since second grade and recently newtook part in the Columbine rma-Elementary School 25th anniversary celebration. She l useapplied for the scholarship uncilin November kfast “I was applying for a Boettcher scholarship at the , hassame time,” she said. “The ppleDaniels Fund scholarship is more character-based. ns toThere were a lot of short anue inswer questions, essays and I had to get two recommendations.” Many college-bound high school students know exactly what they want to take in college. Not Lutz. For “I have three majors in pace,mind, French, physics and 02 orsomething unique to CC, `Classics, History and Politics,’” she said. “I’m interested in physics because I love math and the other major just sounds interesting. Dad wants me to study physics as a career option but for me being in college is a chance to keep learn-

Photo by Norma Engelberg ing.” She took three years of French in high school and would have taken a fourth year if enough students had signed up. “I need to have French if I become a missionary in West Africa,” she said. She has already gone on three missions to Holbrook, Ariz. “There are a lot of really poor people there,” Lutz said. “For two of the missions we ran a Vacation Bible School. The third year we helped people paint

buildings.” She could have gone on a fourth mission but instead saved up her money for a three-week trip to France. Missions and other extracurricular activities are important to the scholarship application process but the Daniels Fund looks at how much students do for their communities not how many activities they are involved in. “They ask `how much’ not `how many,’” she said, adding, “I wish I could stay in school forever.”

Of yellow ribbons and sheriff’s volunteers Two local organizations plan fundraisers for their causes By Norma Engelberg

nengelberg@ourcoloradonews.com There are no big oak trees at Lions Park in Woodland Park so Welcome Home Warriors will be tying yellow ribbons to a large pine. Doloretta Barber and Donna Finicle have planned the yellow ribbon fund drive not only to raise money to support returning soldiers, veterans and their families who need help coping with the effects of war and family separation, but also to create a Guinness World Record. Barber appeared before the Woodland Park City Council on May 2 to tell them about the event and seek support. The organization will be taking donations for yellow ribbons and hope to decorate the tree with 8,465, one ribbon for each foot in elevation the town is above sea level. “This town has attitude but it also has altitude and we want to use that altitude to support out returning warriors,” Barber said. “People can get a ribbon for as little as a $1 donation but we’re hoping for larger donations. For an $80 donation you can get your name and logo on a commemorative poster.”

Volunteers are also needed to make the bows, collect donations and decorate the tree. For more information, contact Finicle at welcomehomewarrior@comcast.net or at 719-439-3621 or Barber at rabarber4@ gmail.com or 719-687-6542. Also at the Woodland Park City Council meeting, Teller County Sheriff’s Office’s Lt. Jason Mikesell talked about the Honorary Deputy Sheriff’s Association’s annual Charity Golf Tournament. This year, he said, the association is partnering with the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb Association and the June 25 tournament will be at the Shining Mountain Golf Course in Woodland Park. The fundraiser is being developed to raise money for the Sheriff’s Office Auxiliary, which includes the Sheriff’s Posse and other volunteer programs. The deadline to sign up and pay the entry fee is June 1. The event, which starts at 7 a.m., is open to both individuals and groups and sponsorships are available.

It isn’t every bed and breakfast inn that has its own theater but the Edgewood Inn Bed & Breakfast offers accommodations that are the height of luxury.

Tour combines places to go, places to stay Woodland Park Chamber offers annual familiarity tours By Norma Engelberg

nengelberg@ourcoloradonews. com The Woodland Park Chamber of Commerce takes chamber members and volunteers on a “Fam Tour” every spring and fall to familiarize them with what’s available in the area. In the past, the tour has gone to shops in Woodland Park, Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Co., hotels in Cripple Creek, cabins in the woods and other places in and near Teller County. The tour on April 30 followed a similar path. It combined lodging and destinations and took participants to see everything from dinosaurs to goats. The tour bus was chartered from Durham School Services, which provides bus transportation for local schools but also provides charter service to businesses and tour groups. The tour started with the Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center on U.S.24 in Woodland Park. Geri Lebold, the cen-

ter’s education director, led the group on the same tour her six guides offer to other visitors as part of the paid admission. “This is a world-class museum,” she said, adding that the center specializes in making casts of dinosaur, marine and flying reptile and fish fossils. “We display the casts here in our show rooms but when they sell we replace them with new casts. There are always new exhibits.” She explained that center crews digs for dinosaur fossils in Texas, Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota and for reptiles, `dinosaurs neither fly nor swim,’ Lebold said, and fish in Kansas, which used to be covered by the Western Interior Seaway back in the Cretaceous Period. From the dinosaur center the tour moved to Eagle Fire Lodge & Cabins, also on U.S. 24. Scott Downs led the tour through spaces representative of the lodge’s 17 units from recently redecorated railway-era cabins, highend luxury suites that used to be the lodge’s classroom and board room, units with loft bedrooms, a conference room that comfortably seats 40-72 people and the lodge’s nearly new patio picnic

A Woodland Park Chamber of Commerce group taking a familiarization tour stands around the kitchen in the Edgewood Inn Bed & Breakfast. The inn is filled with antiques and memorabilia. and barbeque area. “We cater to tourists who might only stay a night or two and to corporate clients who might stay weeks at a time,” Downs said. Next on the tour was Woodland Inn Bed & Breakfast/Pottery Gallery at 159 Trull Road in Woodland Park, owned by Susan and Frank Gray. The couple also owns Two Potters, a pottery gift shop where visitors can buy hand-thrown pottery fired on the premises. The B&B has eight cozy rentals and the Grays also offer pottery making lessons. Frank Gray offered the tour group coffee and piping hot coffee cake served in his hand-thrown mugs and on his matching plates.

Kathy Buysse, who with her husband Dean, owns the Edgewood Inn Bed & Breakfast. She led the group through the Inn’s five sizable rooms, which are furnished with a large selection of antiques. Most of the rooms have small kitchens, large tables and great views. The tour group also saw the conference area and the outdoor covered and open decks that are under construction for weddings and other large gatherings. The 12,000-square-foot home also has a theater where every seat is the best seat. The first half of the tour ended at the Bristlecone Lodge, which offers a combination of cabins and recreational vehicle sites. The lodge is owned by Ivan and Joyce

Mehlaff. Ivan Mehlaff led the tour group through a couple of the cabins and out into the RV Park, where there is a fire pit, a spa and showers. “We also rent out our showers to campers in the national forest,” he said. “All of the cabin and office decorations were made by Joyce. She never stops changing things.” Lunch, which was eaten on the bus regardless of the no-eating and no-drinking signs, was provided by Subway. There were only two stops in the afternoon, Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument and Stone Creek Farmstead. Then the bus headed back to Woodland Park.

A national park in county’s back yard Florissant Fossil ‘National parks tell the story of our country. Beds visitors center Preserving history is the service we provide ready to open By Norma Engelberg

nengelberg@ourcoloradonews. com One of the stops on an April 30 familiarization tour offered by the Woodland Park Chamber of Commerce was the Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument. Ranger Jeff Wolin talked to the tour group about the significance of having a national park in Teller County. The national monument is one of 401 National Park Service sites that preserved local and national history. The service oversees 84 million acres of parks, 6,000 acres of which are at the fossil beds; historic sites, national shorelines, Civil War battlefields and the National Natural and Historic Landmark programs. “National Parks tell the stories of our country” Wolin said. “I tell our seasonal employees, `when people come here to visit the fossil beds you are the Statue of Liberty, you are Mount Rushmore.’ Preserving history is the service we provide and you have a national

stop first at the Visitors Center,” he said. “The exhibits will show them what the monument is all about. Then there is a guided walk on our 1-Mile Trail and after lunch there are science demonstrations and activities for kids in the yurt from 1-3.” Behind the visitors center stand the park’s biggest fossils, the giant redwood stumps that were buried by a series volcanic mud flows called lahars 34 million years ago when the Guffey Volcano erupted repeatedly. The upper trunks of these 500-750-years-old trees, which weren’t buried in mud, decayed but the mud preserved the stumps and mineral-laden water petrified them. Redwoods are currently confined to California and a small portion of Oregon; a redwood cousin also grows in China, Wolin said. “These tree stumps show that redwoods had a much larger range in the past than they do now, probably worldwide,” he said. Pointing to the three conjoined stumps behind him, he added. “These are the world’s only known petrified trio of cloned redwoods.” The national monument, one of the world’s richest fossil deposits, is a day-use park that gets about 60,000 visitors a year. It has 14 miles of trails and scientists have found more than 1,500 different kinds of insect fossils. “We are an active research park,” Wolin said. “Please help us out. Stay on the trails, leave your pets home and remember that there is no collecting of any kind allowed in the park. Our mission is to preserve the park for future generations and to do that we need rules.” Another way to help out is to buy park passes at the monument. Passes range in price from free lifetime passes for disabled people to $80 a year for people who meet none of the criteria for

Mountain lion activity up in Ute Pass Residents living in lion country should take precautions By Norma Engelberg

nengelberg@ourcoloradonews.com Over the last three or four weeks there have been at least four verified cases of one or more mountain lions catching and eating pet dogs in the area between Chipita Park and Crystola. “Mountain lion activities have increased in this area in recent weeks,” said Michael Seraphin, public information officer for Colorado Parks and Wildlife. “We don’t know if it is a single animal doing the killing or if it’s a loose family group with a female and older cubs.” Seraphin said lions, especially the males are great travelers; a 500-square-mile area is probably at the top of their range but they have been known to travel farther. “We had a documented case several years ago of a mountain lion hit by a train in Oklahoma that was wearing a tag from Yellow Stone, Wyo.,” he said. “That isn’t typical. What is typical is that they will stay in one part of their range as long as food is available and then move to a different part of the range.”

Mountain lion food is a big category. “They’ll pretty much eat any small to medium size mammal,” Seraphin said. “Their natural source is usually deer but they will eat dogs, goats, alpacas, even chickens if they can get them.” He suggested that homeowners keep their small livestock or outside dogs in covered pens or kennels or inside barns from dusk to dawn, the lions’ preferred time to hunt. “You want to keep the lions out and it protects your animals from more than one kind of carnivore,” he said. “It’s extremely rare for lions to attack people. We’ve found that they typically consider four-legged animals as prey and twolegged animals, humans, as dangerous but you should still keep small children close and supervised while they are outdoors. Better safe than sorry.” He said that humans can’t always say that a particular species was living in the habitat first but in the case of mountain lions in Ute Pass that’s probably true. “We share the habitat,” he said. “You have to take precautions. You can hope they’ll go away but if they do they’ll be back.” For more information about mountain lions, read or download “Living with Wildlife in Lion Country,” available at www.wildlife.state.co.us or the local Colorado Parks and Wildlife office in Colorado Springs.

Mountain Lions are active all year long and tend to not stay in one geographical location. Residents in Colorado will most likely never see one. Colorado Parks and Wildlife gives tips on avoiding confrontation if someone does come across one. File photo

Respect nature’s baby wildlife Special to The Tribune and Courier

Colorado Parks and Wildlife Despite the wintry weather in many parts of the state, spring is here, and with it comes the arrival of baby birds and mammals to Colorado. It’s a good time to remind citizens that newborn wildlife may be found in their yards, along trails, or in open spaces, and the best advice is to leave them alone. Each year, Colorado Parks and Wildlife receives scores of calls from concerned humans about wildlife that have been “abandoned” by adult animals. Many are tempted to “help” a young animal by picking it up or trying to feed it, how-

ever it is critical that people understand there is no substitute for their natural parents. Wildlife experts agree that it is quite normal for adult animals to leave their young in a safe place while they go forage for food. And often baby birds are learning to fly or fledging, near their nests when they are deemed abandoned. While well-meaning people sometimes gather up this baby wildlife and bring them to wildlife rehabilitation facilities, it is often the wrong thing to do. “Baby mammals are nearly scentless in order to prevent predators from finding them,” said Janet George, senior terrestrial biologist for CPW. “When humans touch these animals,

SNEAK PEEK

they are imparting them with a scent their adults will not recognize or even fear. This can result in true abandonment of healthy offspring.” Baby birds are a different story. They can be moved out of harm’s way or placed back in the nest if they are songbirds. However, do not try this with raptors! Greathorned owls and other raptors are territorial and have been known to fly at humans seen as a threat to their young. If you find young wildlife, enjoy a quick glimpse, leave the animal where it is, and keep pets out of the area. Quietly observe the animal from a distance using binoculars and don’t hover so close that the wild parents are afraid to return to the area. “If 24 hours go by and the parent does not return, it is possible the newborn was abandoned or something happened to the adult animal,” said Jenny Camp-

bell, customer service expert with CPW. “Call our office and we will work with a certified wildlife rehabilitation center to get aid for the wildlife if possible. Don’t move the animal yourself.” “It’s hard to stand back when your instincts are telling you to do something,” said Lea Peshock, animal care supervisor at Greenwood Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. “But the best chance these animals truly have is staying in the wild.” “The most important rule to follow when you encounter a baby mammal or songbird that you suspect may be abandoned is to wait at a distance and observe,” Peshock said. “There is a vast amount of information on our website, http:// www.greenwoodwildlife. org/foundananimal.php, to help people determine if an animal is truly orphaned, because it’s not always easy to tell.” If it’s established that the animal is an orphan,

Red fox kits like these are often endangered by well-meaning humans taking them away from where their parent left them. Please call Colorado Parks and Wildlife before intervening on wildlife’s behalf. Courtesy photo by Donna Forest remember not to feed it or even give it water. This can be a very hard rule to follow but there are good reasons behind it. “The animal can aspirate or consume the wrong type of food and die. If you feed a cold animal, it can die. Given there are so many variables, the most important thing you can do for it is let it be assessed by a licensed wildlife rehabilitator,” Peshock said. “As much as we feel the natural pull to help animals that we think are in trouble, sometimes it’s best to just leave the animal be.” In addition to potential harm for wildlife, humans need to recognize the potential harm to people and pets, as well. There can be risks associated with the handling of wildlife animals, including disease transmission of rabies, dis-

temper or other illnesses. Wildlife can also carry fleas that might subsequently spread disease to humans or pets. Finally, it is imperative for Coloradans to understand that it is illegal to own or possess wildlife in the state. People can avoid heartache if they don’t “adopt” the cute baby raccoon or skunk. Humanraised and hand-fed animals are rarely returned to the wild due to their lack of survival skills or imprint on humans. Licensed wildlife rehabilitators are trained to use methods that will give a wild animal the best chance of surviving upon release.

Panthers girls soccer team back in playoffs Woodland Park claims the No. 3 spot from the Metro League By Danny Summers

sports@ourcoloradonews. com WOODLAND PARK – Jenny Sells scored three goals and an assist against Widefield, and Morghan Sieracki added two goals and an assist, to lead the Woodland Park High School girls soccer team back into the postseason. The Panthers’ 5-0 victory over the Gladiators on May 3 guaranteed the club a spot in the Class 4A state playoffs, which got underway on Tuesday. Woodland Park (10-4-1, the No. 30 seed) played at No. 3 Palmer Ridge (11-3-1). Results of that game were not avail-

able at press time. “We pretty much expected that we would have to play a team like Palmer Ridge,” said Woodland Park coach Andrew Pappadakis. “We’re two teams with two totally different skill sets at work. “We have to work on keeping them out of our goal and getting a counter goal. You have to do the best you can to hold onto the ball.” Before the Panthers could even think about the playoffs, they had to first take care of business against Widefield in the third-fourth place game of the Metro League crossover tournament. “We kind of slept-walked through the Widefield game,” Pappadakis said. “We got up on them and took control. That gave us a chance to drop in some of the (junior varsity) kids.” Woodland Park was

forced into that position after losing to Mesa Ridge, 2-1, on April 30. Woodland Park goalkeeper Grace Wyka had 10 saves and turned in a sparkling performance against Mesa Ridge. She allowed two second-half goals to Darby Cross. Sieracki scored the Panthers’ loan goal in the second half on an assist by Sells. Woodland Park played Mesa Ridge two other times this season, losing once and tying once. The Panthers had confidence against Widefield, having defeated the Gladiators 5-0 on April 11. Sells (18 goals) and Sieracki (16 goals) have more than half of the team’s 66 goals this season. While

‘We pretty much expected that we would have to play a team like Palmer Ridge. We’re two teams with two totally different skill sets at work.’ Andrew Pappadakis, Woodland Park coach their statistics jump off the page, there have been other key contributors on offense and defense. Sophomore Katie Stunkard has seven goals and two assists, while Julia Briggs-Hale has five goals and a pair of assists. Baillie Perales is next with four goals and two assists, followed by Caitlan Thorne’s three goals and three assists and Carissa Hiteshew’s three goals. Either other

players have at least one goal. As solid as the Panthers are on offense, they might be even better on defense, having allowed just 18 goals all season. Wyka has 54 saves while allowing 15 goals. Elin Saxon and Mary Polgar also have seen time in goal. Woodland Park finished third in league during the regular season behind No. 1 seed Coronado and No. 2

Mesa Ridge. The last time Woodland Park was in the postseason was 2009 when it lost to Valor Christian, 10-0, in a firstround game. Valor Christian lost to Wheat Ridge in the finals that season. Woodland Park has enjoyed one of its best seasons in recent years. Three of their four losses are by one goal. Their other loss was by a 4-0 score to Coronado.

Woodland Park baseball team headed to postseason Panthers back in the playoffs for first time since 2007 By Danny Summers

sports@ourcoloradonews.com COLORADO SPRINGS – A sprained ankle didn’t keep Evan Lays from doing “his thing” in the biggest game of the season for the Woodland Park High School baseball team. Lays struck out 11 and threw a complete game four-hitter in a 5-1 victory over host Mesa Ridge on May 3 to lead the Panthers to their first playoff berth in six seasons. “We took care of what we needed to do and accomplished our No. 1 goal,” Lays said. “”We played a relaxed game and we didn’t play tense like we did against Coronado.” The Panthers’ postseason plans were put on hold after an 8-2 loss to Coronado on April 30. Coronado, the regular season’s league champion, got to Panthers ace right-hander Jeremy Gwinn for six runs (five earned) on 10 hits. Lays caught Gwinn, despite suffering a sprained ankle three days earlier while playing basketball. Lays favored the swollen ankle, but vowed after the game that he was going to do his “thing” against Mesa Ridge. “I’m going to go out there and get the job done,” Lays said following the Coronado game. I feel confident. I just need make consistent pitches.” Lays threw a season-high 126 pitches against Mesa Ridge. He walked three and was in com-

The run he allowed was unearned. “He was really dialed in,” Woodland Park coach Cliff Rich-

ardson said of Lays. “I was calling pitches and he was hitting his spots. He made me look good.” It was the second time Lays faced Mesa Ridge in 10 days. On April 23, he allowed four runs

(two earned) over 5 1/3 innings. The Panthers had a seven run lead when he was taken out, but ended up losing 12-11. That loss hurt Woodland Park in the seeding purposes for league, dropping the Panthers into the fourth spot,

while Mesa Ridge was the third seed. “I think that loss increased our awareness, but by no means was revenge on our minds,” Richardson said. “We were up 5-1 on Friday and we were aware the game’s not over until we get the last three outs.” The Panthers built a 5-0 lead the second go-around with Mesa Ridge, thanks in part to RBI singles by Lays and Max Levy, and a two-run double by Carl Loy. By advancing to the postseason, Woodland Park will play in one of eight Class 4A district tournaments this Saturday. The Panthers will find out their opponent this afternoon when brackets are released. “We’re hoping we don’t see somebody from our area,” Richardson said. “I’d rather go play D’Evelyn or Erie; somebody who doesn’t know us.” Richardson added that he doesn’t expect his club to get a very high seed based on wildcard points. Each district tournament consists of four teams. The Panthers will play likely get a four seed in the tournament, meaning they would play a No. 1 seed in the first game. If they win, they would advance to the finals later that day against the winner between the No. 2 and No. 3 seeds in the district. Woodland Park has not won a district game since 2001. “We’re going to have a good week of practice and go out there on Saturday and see what happens,” Lays said. “I expect us to play well. I think we can beat anybody.”

Signing day is a festive event for three panthers By Danny Summers

WOODLAND PARK – Jacob Censner, Joe Callahan and Hannah Sauer took in the moment as they sat at the main table in the Woodland Park High School library. The three seniors were celebrating the fact they received preferred walk-on offers, where they’ll have guaranteed spots on their college athletic teams. Joining them for the party were family, friends, fellow students, as well as faculty and

staff. “I’m very excited,” said Sauer. “This brings it to a whole new level.” Sauer was joined by her parents, Greg Sauer and Amy Stokka, as she inked her name to a deal with Western State in Gunnison. The volleyball star was a middle blocker for the Panthers and is expected to compete for playing time as a freshman. “If things go well, after my freshman year I could earn a guaranteed spot,” Sauer said. “That’s what I’m aiming for.” Sauer was a three-year

letterman for Woodland Park. She was given high praise by Panthers coach Stacy Roshek. “Hannah will definitely be missed,” Roshek said. She was a setter when she first came to us and we moved her to the middle where she excelled.” Sauer’s older sister, Kjirsten, is a senior at Western State, but did not play athletics for the school. Sauer’s younger sister, Linnea, is a junior at Woodland Park and plays volleyball for the Panthers. Censner and Callahan

both signed deals for Fort Lewis College in Durango. Their journey to the Division II school was marked by injuries their senior seasons which limited their effectiveness. Both players broke their legs in Week 5 against Pueblo Central. Censner was the team’s starting quarterback, while Callahan was a wide receiver and punter/kicker. “It’s through his hard work and dedication that Joe earned this,” said Woodland Park football coach Joe Roskam about Callahan. “He earned this spot

through work ethic and desire. He’s a role model for guys to overcome adversity.” Callahan was joined at the table by Rob and Jennifer Royer – both coaches and teachers at the school. “I’m pretty fortunate to get this since I broke my leg,” Callahan said. “I’m really looking forward to making the most of this opportunity.” Roskam said that Callahan will compete for the starting punting job right away. “He can place it and put it where he wants to,” Roskam said of Callahan’s punt-

ing ability. Censner was joined by his parents Gregory Censner and Bernie Vayle. “Jake will also battle for a spot right away,” Roskam said. Censner had a frustrating senior season. He threw for just 616 yards and five touchdowns. That was a sharp contrast from his junior year when he set school records for yards (2,006) and touchdowns (22). “I just want to get out there and prove what I can do,” Censner said. “I have a lot to make up for.”

Thank You! Become a Foster Parent
