Commissioners deny Sanborn request By Pat Hill

phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com In a unanimous vote, Teller County commissioners Marc Dettenrieder, Dave Paul and Norm Steen denied a request from Sanborn Western Camps to amend text in the county’s Land Use Regulations. At issue is Sanborn’s request for a minor expansion by remodeling current cabins to add 40 beds, a 1/2-acre project on the camp’s 3,200 acres in Teller County. “We would like to rebuild the 53-year-old cabins at the girls’ camp,” said Jane Sanborn, chief executive officer. While the county’s planning commission, a volunteer body, approved the request in March, the planning staff recommended denial. Under the current regulations, Sanborn must apply for a special-use permit that requires applicants to hire civil engineers, an architect and complete studies for traffic and drainage/erosion control before beginning construction.

“Those are some of the more onerous requirements when they just want to do a minor expansion on one of their buildings, to add a little extra floor space to make it more comfortable,” said Andrea Barlow, professional planner with NES, Inc. “Keep in mind that these buildings were constructed in the ‘60s and ‘70s. There was a need to just modernize.” Sanborn added that, in 2012, the board of commissioners approved a change to the land use regulations that allowed the camp to rebuild a structure in its own footprint. That change was the crux of the issue three years later, which left the door open for Sanborn to go back to the drawing board. Sanborn remained calm throughout the proceedings. “If we believed it would be simpler and cheaper to try to comply rather than want to change the land use regulations we would certainly do so,” Sanborn said. “Our board continues to consider the Teller County Land Use Regulations the biggest threat we face to our continued ex-

istence.”

Why it matters The commissioners agreed with the staff that creating a new section for existing recreation, camps and retreats without a special use permit will only create confusion and inconsistency in the regulations, as stated in a document read by Lynda Morgan, director of community development services. Commissioner Paul added, “Part of my heartburn comes from making a regulation that only affects certain people,” he said. “That’s a slippery slope.” Paul added a zinger that opened the door to a solution. “If we can create a regulation that would codify the type of repair, maintenance or minor expansion that would limit it to the bubble in which that building exists — in addition to being able to simply show there is an excess of the required setbacks — would that be helpful to what you’re trying to achieve?” he said.

There were a few silent moments before Tim Siebert, also with NES, said the final decision needs to come from the board. “We would like to take your comments and respectfully request that you ask staff to work with us to try and address those concerns in a holistic manner,” he said. Paul spoke of his role as a commissioner. “These regulations can be changed but we have to look at changes from the parameters of our oath of office and what’s going to happen when you are no longer in charge of the camp,” he said. However, County Administrator Sheryl Decker offered hope to the applicants. “We will look for changes we can make and look for solutions that work for everybody,” she said. There were several in the audience who spoke in support of the request; as well, the city of Woodland Park submitted a letter of support. However, several neighbors wrote letters in opposition.

‘Do something,’ says Bratton to board By Pat Hill

phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com To feed or not to feed the wildlife, that remains the question in Green Mountain Falls, as the board of trustees has delayed a decision for the past seven months. Former four-term mayor Dick Bratton chastised the board for the delay at the meeting April 21. “This has been put off long enough,” he said. The issue became hot when Ann Pinell, who regularly feeds the ducks and geese and “adopted,” the domesticated goose Roy, was issued a ticket on Sept. 14 — and

paid a $50 fine. From there, the residents got involved, some pro, some con. But nothing was decided and Pinell remains in limbo over the issue. “I am chagrined at what has happened to Ann,” said Joe Olds, who was in the audience. From the podium, Pinell highlighted the issue of people using the Gazebo Lake as a dumping ground for ducks and geese, in addition to the threat to the wildlife from being caught in yards of fishing line. The stand-off became more complicated when Mayor Lorrie Worthey changed each trustee’s responsibilities, including

switching the position of parks’ liaison from David Cook to Barbara Gardiner. Bratton was clearly frustrated. “Do something!” he said. In response, Worthey requested an update from Gardiner for the meeting May 5. Clerk Mary Duval reported that the Department of Local Affairs has approved the final reimbursement to the town of $86,426, the last piece of detail for the building of town hall. After a three-hour meeting, the board adjourned in executive session, requested by town attorney Matt Krob.

K-Kids get valuable lesson For the Courier Julie Nelson, fundraiser for Teller County Regional Animal Shelter, greets a group of K-Kids from Gateway Elementary School. The K-Kids donated $100 to the shelter, funds earned by selling Valentine cards, which they crafted, to members of the Kiwanis Club. The group figured out that they could feed five dogs for 20 days with the funds. They were working hard to understand how much it cost to feed animals.

Fundraisers bring out community despite weather By Sonja Oliver

Contributing writer Spring brings out increased activities and increased fundraising opportunities and on Saturday, April 18 two events drew out quite a few people, despite the snowy weather.

LGCS raises more than $1,000 for playground

Between 200 customers, 29 booths, 22 vendors, plus the Lion’s Pride silent auction, candy bar and cookbook sales, the Lake George Charter School Craft Sale held on April 18 raised an estimated $1,100 toward the school’s desperately-needed new playground. According to Lion’s Pride president Cori Freed, the money will add to the $13,000 in donations raised thus far. The school is awaiting word from the Colorado Department of Transportation regarding a grant to help fund the playground.

Grange chili cook-off

More than 50 people attended the Florissant Grange No. 420 annual Chili Cookoff an Pie Auction on Apr. 18 as the Grange

continues its efforts to raise funds for a new roof. The iconic 1886 white schoolhouse with green roof and trim is a familiar landmark in Florissant and has been the location for numerous community events such as Florissant Heritage Days and the annual Children’s Christmas Party. The cold and snowy Saturday brought out 50 people to sample 10 chili entries and compete for 15 donated home-baked pies. Chili contest winners were: Linda Appelbaum — first place; Polly Roberts — second place; Alan Caldwell — third place, with Linda Appelbaum also winning the People’s Choice. Supporters were encouraged to bid higher on the 15 homemade pies donated for the pie auction. The highest bids were for a cherry pie baked by Carole Larkey which went for $76 and a blackberry cobbler baked by Pam P. going for $75. Entertainment was provided by local musicians Donnie Derby, Jim and Jean DeSmidt, Rich Currier and the Florissant Jammers, plus four members of the Woodland Park High School Men’s Choir “Tempest” a Barber Shop Quartet.

Lake George Charter School’s craft fair held on Saturday, April 18, brought more than 200 people, 29 crafters and more than $1,100 in monies raised which will go toward a safe, new playground for the children. Photo by Sonja Oliver

Business owners prepare for change By Pat Hill

phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com

A new location for the Friday Farmers Market, Memorial Park shut down for updates and the ongoing threat of rainstorms closing U.S. 24, for Woodland Park business owners, 2015 is going to be a summer of change. If that weren’t enough, the 25th annual Old Fashioned 4th of July has a new location on the s ygreen at the Ute Pass Cultural Center. “Have a positive attitude about it,” said Shawn Keehn, local realtor. Keehn and other business people tossed around possible solutions in a forum April 22 sponsored by the Greater Woodland Park Chamber of Commerce. On the good news side, the Colorado Department of Transportation has issued a more le-

nient policy about highway closures, said Debbie Miller, the chamber’s president. “But the gates (closure gates on U.S. 24) are an issue.” At the Edgewood Inn last summer, one highway closure affected a wedding party when one of the guests gave up on taking a longer route to the inn. “We have concern for the brides,” said Kathy Buysse, the inn’s co-owner. “We tell them ahead of time there is more than one way to get here.” But Rampart Range Road may not be one of them, added Miller. “The road will close during rainstorms,” she said. The group discussed alternate routes, through Canon City, Pueblo or Sedalia. “The roads into Woodland Park are really scenic,” Buysse said Having survived a summer of severe rainstorms, Tanner Coy, of Tweeds Fine Furnishings, expressed optimism for the summer of 2015.

“The worst part is over and we have endured,” he said. “All of the things we can influence are being influenced, the communication, the notification systems and the way businesses handle the closures.” However, Coy acknowledged that parking during Farmers’ Market could be an issue. From Henrietta Street, the market is moving to the area between Kavanagh Field and Vectra Bank. With the market now on the other side of the street, some business owners are concerned about parking, Coy said. “I think walking will draw people to our downtown by getting them out of their vehicles,” he said. “I think this move may be a positive thing. If there is any business in town with a surplus of parking, it’s Vectra Bank.” There were no negative opinions expressed that day among the business owners. “We go back to normal next year in 2016,” Miller said.

Seger releases book to celebrate mothers Work a collection of quotes from author’s mother, friends By Pat Hill

phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com Linda Seger, script consultant, author, doctor of theology, professor and Cascade resident, has released her latest book “What Our Mamas Taught Us.” The book is a series of quotes from her mother as well as those gathered by her friends. Among them is this advice from Mama Agnes: “If there’s only one time in life to travel someplace, do it if you possibly can. You may never have another chance.” The book’s illustrations are by Cascade artist Linda Crawford, who also designed a series of notecards that complement the book’s theme. “What Our Mamas Taught Us,” is available in Woodland Park at Snippets `n Scraps and My Sweet Escape Bakery — and at Barnes & Noble in Colorado Springs where Seger is signing books from 1 to 3 p.m. May 3. This summer Seger is teaching a series of classes in Vienna, Ludwigsburg, Germany; Paris, Munich, London and Cambridge, where she is taking a two-week course to study Shakespeare at the university.

Atomic PC donates to WWH For the Courier For veterans served by the Wounded Warrior House in Woodland Park, the donation of a new Atomic PC, gaming computer is one more benefit offered by founders of the nonprofit organization. “We are excited! The gaming system adds tremendously to our facilities and the capabilities we have to offer our veteran guests,” said Ryan Creel, who with his wife, Vanessa Valentine, founded the organization. Atomic PC Inc President and Founder Jerome Evans Sr. and Chief Executive Officer Gaynell Coolidge presented the computer to Creel, Valentine and Kevin Hough in a ceremony in April. Evans, a Vietnam War Army veteran, has dedicated Atomic PC Inc., part of the Evans Corporate Conglomerate, Inc. to the memory of his brothers who did not return from

war and those veterans who he now considers his children and grandchildren of the modern wars, Valentine said. “Teller County based Atomic PC Inc. has donated many high-tech computers to deserving veterans locally and nationally,” she said. Wounded Warrior House is a veteranowned nonprofit organization that facilitates outdoor recreational activities and services to medically-retired veterans of the United States Armed Services. “We are also very thankful to Donna Finicle of Welcome Home Warrior for introducing us to Jerome and Gaynell,” Valentine said. Kevin Hough, a guest at the WWH, added, “The kindness of strangers continues to inspire me to give back to fellow veterans,” he said. “Luckily, they’re not strangers to us anymore.”

NEWS IN A HURRY County awarded DOLA grant

OPINION

April 29, 2015

Town disappears from sight, but not memory Nearby dairies would load the milk cans off their wagons on to the rail platform for pickup. If you look hard enough, you still might find remnants of the cement underpinnings of that platform on the edge of the jogging trail today. Husted station, back in the day. Look hard enough again, and you might see the last vestiges of the road that arched around the flat that was once the perimeter of the town. “Just north will be the main entrance to the Air Force Academy. Here will be a national monument, one of the finest service schools ever conceived man. Thousands of future officers of the United States Air Force will get their training here. They won’t know about Husted, and they won’t care. Anymore than they care about Ramona, Glasstown, Frog Hollow, Piedmont, Lihue, Montclar — other towns swallowed up by progress in the Pikes Peak region. On February 19, 1956, J.C. Kinner told a Colorado Springs Gazette and Telegraph reporter that there was once a grammar school there in Husted, until

the days of consolidated schools made it obsolete. “It had a saloon, which became a store, which became a post office, which in turn became a church. Finally the same frame was used to make the present forlorn Branding Iron Cafe,” Kinner said. The reporter from the Gazette and Telegraph described the Branding Iron Cafe’s state in early 1956. “Has a ‘no trespassing’ sign. Jones General store has a few boxes of Wheaties, some Certo; a couple of cans of sauer kraut still on it shelves, but the store is closed. The empty gas pump at the Allison’s Service Station reads: this sale, $0.00.”

The forlorn description goes on. “Tourist and truckers speeding thru Husted don’t know that in the window of the store there’s a plaid calico camel. It’s been tossed aside. It gathers dust. It’s unwanted. But once upon a time some child hugged that plaid calico camel with tender love.” The town of Husted was like that. From the 1956 description: “A dozen or so building make up Husted today. The Branding Iron Cafe still has its paneled knotty pine walls, its coffee counter, its sink. Picturesque symbolic menus boasting ‘we sell soup in pints and quarts’ are scattered over the floor. A year ago you could get a minced ham and scrambled eggs with toast for 48 cents. The ubiquitous tumble weeds in the the back room tell a different story today.” Homes, shacks, pigpens, garage, and the train station... all abandoned. “Once an important stop on the Santa Fe and Rio Grande railroad, once a bustling center of ranchers and lumbermen, is a dead town — sacrificed on the altar of progress.”

Tebowmania resurrected Tim Tebow is back in the NFL and I am absolutely thrilled. Tebow is perhaps the most polarizing sports figure of the last 10 years. More so than LeBron James, Alex Rodriguez, Tiger Woods, Danica Patrick, Lance Armstrong, Yasiel Puig, Floyd Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao, Johnny Manziel or Serena Williams. The mention of Tebow’s name gets a reaction from just anybody who has ever heard of the former Heisman Trophy winning quarterback. He first gained national attention when he played for the University of Florida Gators, starting as a true freshman in 2006. Quite honestly, I have no idea why Tebow seems to have far more detractors than people cheering him on. At least publicly. I am not trying to play dumb here. I realize why Tebow has his critics - and supporters. We here in Colorado are fully aware of Tebowmania and how he electrified the pro football world during the 2011 regular season and playoffs with his flair for the dramatic. In a span of a q couple of months after the 2011 season, Tebow went from being Colorado’s favorite son to thrown off the bus because the Peyton Manning Show was headed to town to rescue the franchise. From what? I ask. If any of you have read this column in recent years, you are well aware that I am a huge admirer of Manning as a person, but not so much as a quarterback. Manning arguably has the best work ethic of any athlete in all of sports, but he also has one of the worst postseason careers of any athlete in history; which leads me to my next point. I thought the main objective of professional sports is to win. I am pretty sure that

Tebow has won on the field during crunch time (playoffs and big games) much more than he has ever lost. I believe he has one victory and one loss in the playoffs as quarterback of the Denver Broncos. I am pretty sure his Florida teams were 48-7 (three seasons of 13-1) during his four years as the team’s quarterback. And I am also pretty sure that Tebow was 8-5 as a starter for the Broncos during the 2011 regular season and playoffs when they lost to the Super Bowl-bound New England Patriots in the first-round (second weekend of games) playoffs. Need more proof that Tebow was considered a winner during his time here in Denver? He was on the cover of Sports Illustrated at least twice that season. Several other feature articles were written on him. Those accolades don’t make him a great athlete, but he pretty much was the main talk of the sports world for many months. And most of the talk was very positive. Then, in the spring of 2012, Broncos general manager and vice president John Elway decided Tebow must go once he signed Manning to a $100 million contract. So Tebow was shipped off to the New York Jets where he was used as a fullback, split end and part-time quarterback on trick plays. Then he was off to New England and cut by the Patriots before the start of the 2013 regular season.

A couple of weeks ago, Philadelphia Eagles coach Chip Kelly - whom I am a big fan - signed Tebow to a contract. There are no guarantees that the 27-year-old Tebow will make the team, but at least he has a realistic shot to compete for a spot. Back to Manning. Old Peyton - he is closer to 50 years of age than 25 - is 2-3 as a Broncos quarterback in the playoffs. Twice (2012 and 2014), his teams have been one-and-done in the postseason. In 2013, he led the Broncos to the Super Bowl, only to be trailing 36-0 to the Seattle Seahawks a few seconds into the second half. The Broncos lost that game 43-8. I have been asked the question many times, “Who would you rather have at quarterback, Peyton Manning or Tim Tebow?” That is like asking “Who would you rather have as your center, Bill Russell or Wilt Chamberlain?” Russell won 11 NBA championships in 13 seasons. Wilt won two in 14 seasons. Russell is the all-time greatest winner, but Chamberlain was hands down the most dominating player in the history of the NBA. Manning is neither the greatest quarterback in NFL history nor the greatest winner (in the playoffs). Tebow certainly is not the most skilled quarterback ever to put on pads in an NFL game, but he’s not the worst. Does anybody remember Bubby Brister or Brian Griese? They didn’t exactly electrify old Mile High Stadium. Again, I thought the whole idea in the NFL is to win, and I am pretty sure Tebow did that with the Broncos. So why are the Eagles are being lambasted for giving Tebow another chance? I, for one, hope Tebowmania takes the east coast and all of the NFL by storm again. I’m off to practice my Tebowing.

‘Getting old ain’t for sissies’ Perhaps, Bette Davis said it best –“Getting old ain’t for sissies.” Ask any of the 27 million Americans suffering from osteoarthritis (OA) and you’ll find they concur. OA … also known as osteoarthroses or degenerative joint disease … is the most common type of arthritis. According to the Arthritis Foundation, it is a chronic condition that is characterized by the breakdown of the joint’s cartilage. Cartilage is the part of the joint that cushions the ends of the bones and allows for easy pain-free movement of the joints. The breakdown or degeneration of cartilage causes the bones to rub against each other causing stiffness, pain and loss of movement in the joint. Typically affecting the hips, hands, knees, low back and neck, OA is a major cause of work disability. Experts estimate that the disorder costs the U.S. economy nearly $128 billion per year in medical care and indirect expenses, including lost wages and productivity. The cause of degenerative joint disease

is one of the mysteries of the human condition. Researchers suspect a combination of factors … including the aging process, joint injury or repetitive stress, heredity, lack of physical exercise, muscle weakness, nerve injury and obesity. The symptoms of OA aren’t quite so elusive. Joint pain, tenderness and stiffness are the most common hallmarks, closely followed by loss of flexibility, bone spurs and a grating sensation when you move a joint. Diagnosis of the disease is based on medical history and an exam by a physi-

cian. Typically, X-rays or an MRI are ordered to rule out other causes of pain and to determine just how much joint damage has occurred. The sad tale is that there is no cure for OA and successful treatment can be elusive. “No one therapy is as effective as we’d like,” says Roy D. Altman, M.D., a professor of medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles. “So, patients are often best served by combining treatments.” There are no shortage of treatments. Most physicians start with lifestyle changes, which usually focus on weight loss and physical activity. For every pound of weight loss, there is a four-pound reduction in the load exerted on weight bearing joints, such as the knees. Aerobic exercise helps keep the joints flexible and lubricated and strength training builds the joint’s supporting muscles. Devices such as knee, back and wrist wraps and canes, crutches and walkers provide relief for some, while others turn to heat

and cold therapy. Many sufferers explore alternative therapies such as acupuncture and massage, while some experiment with glucosamine and chondroitin, ginger and a myriad of over-the-counter creams and gels. Some find relief in Tai chi and yoga and others turn to the pharmaceutical industry in the form of NSAIDS, anti-inflammatory steroids and prescription painkillers. If there ever was a medical condition that required those afflicted to be proactive in their care, osteoarthritis is it. If you think that you are suffering from OA, first educate yourself by going to the Arthritis Foundation’s website at http://www.arthritis.org/ and then, see your physician.

50 YEARS AGO April 22, 1965 Another first for Teller County-VA approved loans for Westwood Lakes Estates Homes. Dorrance R.

Call Gen. Palmer Call Gen. Palmer. But could you? Yes, as early as telephones arrived in Colorado Springs, he had a phone. Only you could not call him. He had a private line. Yes, even in 1885. His phone number was unpublished in the early phone lists, no phone books yet. Only his secretary was allowed to know its number, and use it. This was not out of the ordinary. Many of the area’s richest people either did not have a telephone, or kept it secret. Palmer refused to have a telephone for several years. He had an office downtown and it had a phone, but not Glen Eyrie. He had people to answer the business phone, and the secretary at home. He would only speak to a caller by prior arrangement. Such was the case with several visitors from the east. He let them know that they could reach him only from his office in the Antlers Hotel at a designated time. The people in the office placed the call and the secretary arranged the meeting. Later one of these groups decided they needed to talk to him again, and were understandably upset when they could not conclude their business over the phone, and that the General would not be available for a visit! W.S. Stratton the Cripple Creek millionaire did not have a phone even when

he was just a carpenter. After he reached a higher status, he was bothered by callers wanting money. He had to change his number regularly as a few stubborn individuals called enough numbers that they found him. I guess he did not have a secretary. He even called the phone office to have his number changed after midnight after someone called at the late hour. Some stores could not be bothered by the invention. Dry goods and grocers were the most common businesses without phones. One reason was the fact that they would deliver orders. It was feared that calls for small items would be using up their delivery time. Eventually they figured about minimum delivery orders. Many physicians felt that the telephone was a time wasting toy. Some people today share that thought about cell phones.

IT’S 20 YEARS FOR UTE PASS PONY RUN By Pat Hill

phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com

fundraiser for Ute Pass Elementary School in Chipita Park, the 20th annual Pony Run is a celebration as well as a chance to stay fit and healthy. For a school that has survived fire and flood two years in a row, the Pony Run May 9 is happy time for students, parents and friends. This year’s funds are charted for building a trail around the perimeter of the playground, which has been rebuilt after being destroyed by flood in the summer of 2013. “The annual run unites the communities of Green Mountain Falls, Chipita Park and Cascade,” said Matt Rogge, race chairman and father of two sons who attend the school. “Maybe they don’t have kids in the school anymore but the Pony Run is a chance for them to connect and for us to connect with them.” The run begins at the school and continues on the dirt path adjacent to the creek and the woods. The run/walk is either 5K or 1 mile. “The town of Green Mountain Falls has been super-supportive by waiving the permit fee,” Rogge said. “And the Police Chief has been awesome over the years.” The fundraiser includes prizes, season passes to the swimming pool, for instance, as well as a silent auction, with items donated by area businesses. The items are on display at the school up until race day. “The proceeds from the run and the auction are funding sources for special projects at the school,” Rogge said.

Race details

The entry fee for the 5K run/walk is $22, the 1 Mile, $16, and, for families of four or more, $60. The fee comes with a t-shirt designed by the students of Beth Romano for young racers and a 20th anniversary t-shirt for the adult runners. The 5K begins at 9 a.m. May 9 and the 1 Mile at 9:30. Entrants can register at school or on the day of the race. Online registration, at www.tiny.cc/ponyrun2015, is an additional $3. The after-race celebration features free massages as well as coffee and snacks donated by the Mucky Duck.

One of the most popular events at Ute Pass Elementary School in Chipita Park, the annual Pony Run celebrates 20 years May 9.

Heads UP: Library party in July By Pat Hill

phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com With 140 patrons every year the libraries in Woodland Park and Florissant are among the most popular attractions in Teller County. As a result, both libraries are stretched thin when it comes to satisfying the demand for computers. For needs outside of regular operating expenses, the Rampart Library District Foundation acts as financial angels. “This year we’re starting a campaign for computers to replace the ones in both libraries,” said Jean Baldwin, the foundation’s president. To date, the foundation has provided $12,000 for 20 computers, the result of donations from individuals and businesses: Charis Bible College, Cripple Creek & Victor Mining Co., Denny’s, Ent, Friends of Florissant Library, IREA, Park State Bank & Trust

and Perini & Associates. But they need more, desktops as well as laptops. A life source for many in the community, the computers are used by the patrons to check email, do research and homework, build resumes, search for jobs, print an airline ticket and make reservations. Incorporated as a 501 ©(3) organization in 2000, the foundation has been in revival mode for the past three years. “Our mission is to support the libraries through fundraising and advocacy,” Baldwin said. Currently, the foundation provides the funds for prizes for the summer reading program. To enhance its mission and inform the community, the foundation hosts the first annual “Love your Libraries Fiesta” from 3 to 7 p.m. July 19 at the Country Lodge. Tickets will be on sale soon and information is available at www.Rampartlibrarydistrict.org.

Town to host Rocky Mountain SuperEnduro The high-caliber motorcyle event takes place June 20 at the Ute Pass Saddle Club By Danny Summers

dsummers@colorado communitymedia.com Woodland Park will be the host of the 2015 Rocky Mountain SuperEnduro on June 20. The race will be held at the Ute Pass Saddle Club off Highway 24. SuperEnduro is a hybrid motorcycle competition with a mix of supercross, trails, and enduro racing. Competitors maneuver off-road motorcycles over a hand-built offroad course covered with logs, earth-mover tires, boulders, rocks and water crossings. In this type of hybrid race winning isn’t necessarily about speed: it’s all about strategy. AMA Endurocross regulars Max Gerston, riding for Beta USA/Apex Sports in Colorado Springs, and Colton Haaker, who rides for Factory Husqvarna/Super B Batteries, have confirmed their appearance. Both of these factory riders will be competing at the X Games in Texas two weeks previous to the Rocky Mountain SuperEnduro. The race is being billed as “a riveting kick-off to Pikes Peak Speedweek,” which takes places June 20-28. The Pikes International Hill Climb is scheduled for Sunday, June 28. For more information and to purchase tickets go to www.rockymountainsuperenduro.com.

Panthers will miss soccer postseason

Woodland Park made the playoffs in 2013 and 2014

By Danny Summers

dsummers@colorado communitymedia.com

There will be no postseason game for the Woodland Park High School girls’ soccer team. A 4-0 loss to Mesa Ridge on April 16 sealed the Panthers’ fate. They will miss the playoffs for the first time since 2012. “We have an excellent team,” said Woodland Park coach Andrew Pappadakis. “We have kids that can get into the attacking third of the field and get after it. We just can’t finish it off.” Woodland Park (5-5, 3-3) will finish fourth in the Class 4A Metro League behind The Classical Academy (10-0, 5-0), Mesa Ridge (6-5, 5-1) and Canon City (6-4, 4-1). Only the top three teams earn automatic playoff bids from the league. Based on its strength of schedule and quality of the league, Woodland Park will likely not earn an at-large bid. “As a coaching staff, we’re proud of our kids, but we’re not happy with the results,” Pappadakis said. “We know what we can do. We should be a playoff team. We’re a better soccer team than all the teams ahead of us. Anybody who watches us knows we’re the better team. We just can’t get the goals.” The Panthers were shutout in their three games against TCA, Mesa Ridge and Canon City by a combined score of 16-0. Woodland’s Park was also shutout in its two non-league losses; Manitou Springs (20) and Vista Ridge (2-0). Conversely, Woodland Park easily handled the bottom teams in the league - Harrison, Sierra and Mitchell - outscoring them by a 31-0 mark. Woodland Park’s two nonleague victories are over Pueblo East (6-1) and Valley (2-0). The Panthers finish the regular season league portion of their schedule against Widefield (2-8, 2-3) this week. There is an end of the season league tournament that begins later this week in which Woodland Park will play TCA, Mesa Ridge and Canon City. Those teams will be playing for a higher seed in the playoffs. “We have some pride and dignity to play for,” Pappadakis said. “Those other teams are not going to lay down for us.”

The Woodland Park girls’ soccer team talks things over during a break in a match against Widefield on April 22. Photos by Paul Magnuson Woodland Park finishes it season with a non-league game at Elizabeth on May 1. The Panthers entered play last week with a chance to make the playoffs. They scored a 10-0 victory over Harrison on April 14. Pappadakis credited Panthers’ senior forward Jenny Sells with inspiring the team and keeping them focused for the match. “Jenny masterminded the play from whistle to whistle,” he said. “She used the advantage to drill and lead teammates on how to address shortcomings in anticipation for Thursday’s match (against Mesa Ridge).” Woodland Park qualified for the playoffs in 2012 and 2013, losing in the first round each season. “We have some good freshmen coming back next year and we have some good kids coming in from middle school,” Pappadakis said.

Woodland Park senior soccer players were honored before their match against Widefield on March 22. From left to right are Abby Hills, Jenny Sells, katyie Stunkard and Morghan Sieracki.

Postseason baseball future still undecided Panthers need to win final three league games and hope for some help By Danny Summers

dsummers@coloradocommunitymedia. com The pattern is a familiar one for the Woodland Park High School baseball team. And that’s what makes it so frustrating for players, coaches and fans of the program. With the regular season winding down, the Panthers find themselves with their playoff destiny out of their hands. They need to win their final three regular season games - two against Mitchell and one against Harrison - and hope that The Classical Academy and Widefield split their home-and-home series this week. That would set up a three-way tie for third place in the Class 4A Metro League. Tie-breakers would decide which team gets the final automatic playoff bid from the conference behind Canon City (14-3, 12-0) and Mesa Ridge (12-4, 10-2). “We’ll be doing a lot of scoreboard watching,” said Woodland Park coach Cliff Richardson. “We’ll know by Thursday night where we stand.” Woodland Park (6-9, 5-6) split with TCA and Widefield this season. The Panthers defeated Widefield, 5-3, on April 14, but lost to the Gladiators, 18-3, on April 25. Last week, TCA defeated the Panthers 12-2 on April 21, but Woodland Park scored a 7-4 victory over the Titans on April 23. The Woodland Park victories over TCA and Widefield were at home. “We play a different game at home than we do on the road,” Richardson said. “We’re

Jekyll and Hyde. It’s tough to say why.” TCA appeared to put itself in prime position after a 12-2 victory over Woodland Park at El Pomar Sports Complex. The Titans jumped all over Woodland Park ace left-hander Dakota Herman for nine runs (seven earned) in four innings. Herman walked four and struck out seven while allowing eight hits. The Titans lost their rematch with Woodland Park, 7-4, two days later, which put a major twist in their playoff hopes. Sam Levy led the Panthers with two hits and three RBIs. Cole Trichell, Herman, Jason Kekich and Nash Grayckowski had two hits apiece. Anthony Woods allowed four runs and six hits over six innings to earn the victory and even his record at 2-2. If TCA wins both games against Widefield they wrap up the third seed in league. If Widefield sweeps, the Gladiators are the third seed. If TCA and Widefield split - and Woodland Park wins out against Mitchell and Harrison, then tie breakers come into play. Mitchell and Harrison have just three league victories between them. “We needed to sweep TCA or Widefield to give ourselves the best chance,” Richardson said. “Looking at the schedule we knew these two weeks would decide whether we make it or not.” Woodland Park last made the playoffs in 2013, losing to Montrose in the first round. “We graduated seven seniors from last year’s team and those guys are tough to replace,” Herman said. “This year it’s more of a building block for next season. “We have a good group of sophomores and juniors that are playing very good baseball. We have the potential to play well, but it just doesn’t happen every game. We’re still a young group that’s learning our identity.”

If it’s May, it’s Karate time in WP

By Pat Hill

For the 21st annual Karate Gospel Demonstration the first Friday in May, Ken Valles is varying the theme a bit. “We’re going to feature an incredible Colorado segment, addressing amazing, weird, odd, funny, sad things about our state,” said Valles, of Karate Plus Ministries. When it comes to weather, Colorado, with about 40 tornadoes a year, ranks ninth of the 50 states, for instance. “Crocs and Chaco sandals are made here,” he said. “Telluride was the first town with electric street lights.” Valles adds an artistic touch to the Colorado facts with photos, many of them he took himself. In keeping with the gospel theme, the event features information about the role of faith in the early development of Colorado. “Our state motto is ‘Nothing without God,’” he said. As usual, the demonstration includes a range of the martial arts, basic karate weapons, judo throws and ju-jitsu, with students

Ken Valles’ Karate Gospel Demonstration combines the martial arts and faith. Courtesy photos and the demonstration team, including Black Belts. “We’ll share a couple of bible verses; the theme is ‘Power from Above,’’’ he said. “We share God’s good news.” The demonstration, which is free, is at 7 p.m. May 1 at the Ute Pass Cultural Center.

Last year’s Karate Gospel Demonstration highlights the students of Ken Valles, of Karate Plus!! In Woodland Park. The demonstration is at 7 p.m. May 1 at the Ute Pass Cultural Center.

Bye bye fat cells Woodland Park gets CoolSculpting By Pat Hill

phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com Fat cells disappear with the new CoolSculpting machine at Woodland Park Family Medicine. Scientifically researched and approved by the Food and Drug Administration, CoolSculpting is the latest in the eternal quest to firm up troublesome body parts. To date, the machine is approved to treat fat cells in the inner and outer thighs as well as the upper and lower abdomen. “It’s noninvasive so there’s no down time. I did mine in the morning and went to work the same day,” said Matthew Young, M.D. “We’ve done several patients so far and are starting to see efficacy.” Young and his staff at the medical practice tested the procedure on themselves first; the treatment includes a gel pad and applicator applied to the area; the applicator draws, or vacuums, the tissue into the suction cup. “Fat freezes at a much lower temperature than your surrounding skin - it has suction and sucks that portion up into the suction cup,” said Sarah Richards, a member of the CoolSculpting team. The procedure stops short of being the diet solution, in that it doesn’t halt calories accumulating from over-eating. “It’s not for weight loss but for those areas in the body-

and we all have them - that, no matter how much you diet or exercise, if you gain a pound or two, it goes to the exact same area every time,” said Geneva Lay, the clinic’s office manager. However, for advice about diets the clinic offers a nutritional program for patients. The team touts approval by the FDA as well as the clinic’s launch of the procedure in Woodland Park. “We’re so excited to be able to offer CoolSculpting to people up here,” Lay said. “It’s the latest greatest thing. Ever.” Treatments take from an hour to two hours. “The treatments are completely customized and the results are permanent,” Lay said. “It doesn’t do anything to skin because it’s only killing those fat cells, which don’t regenerate.” To date, the procedure is not covered by insurance and the costs are determined during the free consultation with Young and the team. “This is considered cosmetic but it’s worked so well; everything I’ve seen, especially in our practice, has been so promising,” Young said. `Not everybody is a candidate for this - it works for subcutaneous fat, like belly fat or around the thighs.”

Popcicles?

“Doctors noticed that children who ate a lot of popsicles had a noticeable lack of fat on the cheek they held the popsicle in, so it led to the research,” Lay said. “So that’s how they discovered that cold, for an extended period of time, kills the fat cells.” For information, call 686-2801.
