Ensminger one of multiple plaintiffs By Pat Hill

phill@ourcoloradonews.com Teller County Sheriff Mike Ensminger is one of 54 Colorado sheriffs suing the state of Colorado in federal court over two gun bills passed by the state legislature on March 20. At issue are laws that ban the sale of ammunition magazines that hold more than 15 rounds and require universal background checks. “I don’t think any sheriffs are opposed to keepings guns out of the hands of criminals,” Ensminger said. “But that’s not what these bills are geared to do. The criminals are laughing at us because these laws are geared to take guns out of the hands of lawabiding citizens.” Armed with statistics, Ensminger argues against two parts of the bill, citing the Violent Crime Control Act that banned assault weapons from 1994 to 2004. “During that 10-year period, there was an average of 7.1 deaths per 100,000 people in the nation from any kind of gun,” he said. When the ban expired, the ratio went down and, between 2004 and 2010 there were 3.2 deaths by any type of gunfire per 100,000 people. “Only two percent of deaths in America happened with assault rifles in 2010,” he added. The number-one killer of law enforcement officers is a .22 caliber gun, which is easily concealable, he said. “I don’t think any sheriff in this state is opposed to curbing criminal activity, especially for our own good,” he said. “But these bills don’t do that.”

Neither do the background checks. “If background checks were geared to keep weapons out of the hands of criminals I don’t think anybody in this country would be opposed,” he said. However, Ensminger opposes background checks that affect law-abiding citizens and their family members. To support his inclusion on the lawsuit, Ensminger throws out another statistic. “In 2010, we had 47,956 felons who attempted to possess, or possessed, a weapon,” he said. “Of that number, our Justice Department prosecuted only 44 cases, of which there were only four convictions.” Warming up, Ensminger continues. “In 14 years, we’ve had 51 deaths from shootings at Columbine, Sandy Hook and Aurora,” he said. As he has before, Ensminger cites the number of children’s deaths from brutalization by an adult. “In America today we lose five children a day to child abuse by non-lethal means,” he said. If not killed by gunfire and abuse, children die by inertia on the part of industry, citing the tornado in Oklahoma City that killed nine children May 20. “Those children died because they didn’t have a tornado shelter; they build them in homes in Oklahoma,” he said. “What is our responsibility as a government to the realities of what happens in America, instead of some political agenda?” In Ensminger’s view, the new laws are driven by politics rather than a desire to legislate effective policies. “We, law-enforcement officers, are here to look at sta-

Photo by Pat Hill tistics and to curb criminal activity to the best of our ability based upon the reality of those statistics,” he said. “That’s what governs law enforcement.” In the meantime, the lawsuit has been filed in federal court; Colorado’s Attorney General John Suthers will argue the case for the state. In addition to the 54 sheriffs,

the plaintiffs include retired law enforcement officers, disabled individuals, civil rights and disability rights organizations, licensed firearms dealers, associations of law-abiding gun owners, hunting outfitters, the firearms industry and a manufacturer of firearms accessories. “We are a gun-toting state, no

matter which way you look at it,” he said. “We are a hunting state and have good responsible citizens. The people who have been involved in these shootings have had some type of documented mental-health issues, every single one of them. We need to address that.” Ensminger continues on Page 5

City considers local recycling center By Pat Hill

Jay Baker and Teller County Waste are close to opening a recycling center in Woodland Park. If all goes well with the bureaucratic hoops, Woodland Park residents can expect to have free recycling by the first part of July. The center depends upon the company’s securing approval from the city for the annexation of 1.84 acres on West Street, the current site of TCW, as well as a zoning change from commercial to Community Commercial. “The city is recommending approval of the annexation and zoning,” said Sally Riley, the city’s planning director. “If approved, the next step is for Mr. Baker to obtain a conditional use permit for his contractor services and vehicle-maintenance facility.” As well, Baker will have to obtain a special-use permit for the recycling center, Riley added. This is Baker’s second attempt to host a recycling center. After a year of collection at the Woodland Park Walmart, when people put everything, including the kitchen sink, in the bins, Baker shut down the site in April 2009. This time around, Baker has built in safeguards to ensure that infractions don’t occur. “The recyclables are fully contained in a regular trash truck; the site will be staffed six days a week,” Baker said. “We’ll lock it in the evening.” In response to negative comments from a few neighbors, Baker is implementing an improvement plan to include: screening and landscaping, updated traffic flow, new location for vehicle parking, buffer screen, new grading and video surveillance. Baker, who declined to name an esti-

mate, has gone to considerable expense to open the recycling center. In addition to funding a drainage study and vehicle-traffic count, he has pledged to maintain the integrity of the county’s portion of the road from the site to U.S. 24. In opening the center, Baker is responding to customer demand, opinions gleaned from a survey. “Ninety percent of our Woodland Park customers said they would support a recycling center,” he said. “We take it straight down to Best Way recycling, no sorting, everything stays in the truck.” Recyclables are paper, cardboard, glass and plastic but not batteries, appliances or vehicle tires. Baker’s site is in response to the city’s strategic plan which includes goals to become sustainable and encourage recycling among the citizens. “Ninety-percent of what goes into these trash trucks that go to the dump are recyclables,” he said. Through the years, Baker has been a vital contributor to the city’s wellbeing. He and his company support 10 athletic teams and his beneficiaries include the Main Street Makeover, Habitat for Humanity, Choices and Help the Needy. In his spare time, he is the volunteer bus driver for the city’s senior citizens for day trips and some overnight outings, Cheyenne Frontier Days this summer, for instance. The recycling center, at 1000 and 1050 West Street, if approved, is free to the public and will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday. “We will continue to offer curbside free recycling to Teller County Waste customers,” Baker said.

Celebrate 10 years of keeping WP beautiful Volunteers needed for city’s 11th annual Great American Clean-up By Norma Engelberg

nengelberg@ourcoloradonews.com For more than 10 years, Keep Woodland Park Beautiful has been working toward creating a cleaner, more beautiful and safer Woodland Park. The organization will host its 11th annual Great American Clean-up on June 8 in Memorial Park. This communitywide event

At last year’s Great American Clean-Up, volunteers picked up more than 20 cubic yards of litter from all over Woodland Park. This year the Keep Woodland Park Beautiful Committee is hoping to get enough volunteers to pick up twice that much.

will begin with registration at 9 a.m. and will conclude with a free barbeque lunch starting at noon. The Keep Woodland Park Beautiful Committee welcomes residents and visitors, new-comers and old-timers, families and individuals, business owners and retirees. The public invitation adds that this event is a chance for people to show pride in their city, catch up with old friends and make new ones. To get ready for the annual event, on June 3 Woodland Park city planner Lisa Parnell and four members of the Keep Woodland Park Beautiful Committee will conduct a litter survey to determine where the most litter is located. “We’re waiting until after Memorial Day Weekend because we know there will be more litter left behind after the holiday,” she said. “We’ll look at each quadrant of the city and use that information to set priorities for clean-up.” Last year more than 20 cubic yards of trash were picked-up during clean-up day. “We hope to pick up twice that much,” Lisa said. “But that will depend on how many volunteers come out to help.” At Memorial Park this year, there will be maps Adopt-a-Spot maps available so that volunteers can sign up to keep their spot cleaned up year round. Tonya Sharp, area wildlife manager for Colorado Parks and Wildlife, will have a Bear Aware table at the park to help educate people on bears and Woodland Park Parks and Recreation director Cindy Keating, representing the city’s Arbor Day program, will tell participants about drought-resistant plantings. Coffee will be donated by Gold Hill Java, soda will come from BierWerks Brewery and the city will provide a free barbecue lunch to all clean-up participants. Park High School graduate Isaac Leigh will provide musical entertainment. “The Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts have already said they will come,” Parnell said. Teller County Sheriff’s Deputy Renee

RELATIONSHIPS RIGOR OPPORTUNITY

Great American Clean-Up volunteers spend the morning picking up litter around Woodland Park and then relax in Memorial Park afterward for food and entertainment. This year’s clean-up is planned on June 8. Courtesy photos Bunting, newly appointed Keep Woodland Park Beautiful Committee member, said there should also be help from Woodland Park High School athletes. “The district’s new rule for athletes this year is that in order to earn their letters they have to perform at least four hours of community service a year,” she said. “This would fulfill their obligation in a single morning.” Picking up trash once a year is only a small part of the Keep Woodland Park Beautiful mission, which is to protect the community, both people and wildlife, and its natural beauty by enlisting support of vol-

unteers to help reduce litter, junk, refuse, and rubbish. The organization promotes the responsible handling of trash, refuse, and solid waste through education, recycling, and enforcement, while encouraging the enhancement of public views and spaces and recognizing businesses, groups, and individuals for their commitment to community. Trash bags, rubber gloves and safety vests will be provided. Participants should bring water, work gloves, and sunscreen. Please call Lisa Parnell at 687-5209 for more information.

GMF board tables electronic media By Pat Hill

‘Everyone insists that we be in the 21st century, which

phill@ourcoloradonews.com The Green Mountain Falls’ board of trustees once again delayed passing a resolution concerning the town’s electronic media policy. With Mayor Lorrie Worthey leading the charge in offering information about the town on her Facebook page, the trustees have been more skeptical about social media. Nonetheless, the board is receptive to adopting a resolution that outlines town policy concerning social media. In part, the resolution was drafted by Cameron Thorne, who is one of the town’s planning commissioners. The resolution is specific on what is allowed as well as what is not. A sentence in the resolution reads: “The Town does not

I don’t disagree with, but along with current policy comes responsibility.’ Jane Newberry sponsor, promote, approve or authorize any postings on any social media outlets other than on the Green Mountain Falls website maintained by the Town for Town business.” The two-page resolution is a warning to town officials to stick to the rules, that social-media users could be held personally liable for damages resulting from their

postings. From the beginning, trustee and mayor pro tem Jane Newberry has been skeptical about town officials’ using social media. However, at the meeting May 21, she seemed to give a little, albeit, with advice about possible pitfalls. “Everyone insists that we be in the 21st century, which I don’t disagree with, but

along with current policy comes responsibility,” Newberry said. “Part of that responsibility is knowing how to behave with others included on electronic media. While these are pretty common-sense guidelines, we don’t know what comes along and I think it’s not a bad thing to have guidelines for the future.” In the absence of Thorne as well as trustees Ralph LoCascio and Howard Price, the board agreed to table the decision until June 4. The meeting began with a presentation by Larry McKnight, pastor of Joyland church, who handed a landline telephone set to Police Chief Tim Bradley. In other positive news, trustee Tyler Stevens announced that he has been elected vice president of the board of Pikes Peak Area Council of Governments.

Major road improvements are on tap at Mueller State Park beginning May 28. “The park will be open every day, but visitors might encounter some inconveniences during paving operations,” said park manager John Geerdes. “The work is scheduled to be completed by the middle of July.” Crews will repave and rebuild roads and parking lots between the entrance station and the campground registration building. “The trail system, picnic areas and campgrounds will still be accessible, but we are asking visitors to drive safely through the constructions zones,” Geerdes said. At least one lane of the main road will remain open at all times, but visitors may encounter 15-30 minute delays at times. Work will be limited to weekdays 7 a.m.-7 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and 7 a.m.-3 p.m. on Fridays. There will not be any roadwork on the weekends. The paving contractor will use the livery parking lot for equipment. The crews will attempt to keep the lot open, but it may be necessary to divert horseback riders to another location at times. Some parking lots will be closed on days when paving is underway. When the Visitor Center parking lot is closed, visitors can park at Outlook Ridge, which is less than 50-yards away. Updates will be posted on the Mueller State Park web page at www.parks.state.co.us/Parks/Mueller/ .

State ramps up enforcement for Click it or Ticket Colorado officials Special to The Tribune The Colorado State Patrol and 63 law enforcement agencies across Colorado are joining the nationwide Click It or Ticket campaign by increasing enforcement of seat belt and child passenger safety laws. The ramped up enforcement began May 20 and continues through June 2. The goal is to get more Coloradans to buckle up and ultimately save lives across the state. In 2012, 159 people who weren’t buckled up lost their lives in traffic crashes on Colorado roadways, which are down from 185 unrestrained fatalities in 2011. The Colorado Department of Transportation is focusing its public awareness campaign on male pickup truck drivers between the ages of 18 and 34 as they have the highest propensity for not wearing their seat belts. Sixty-one men between the ages of 18-34 who died in a crash were not wearing a seat belt. And pickup trucks have a seat belt usage rate of 72%, which is 10% less than the state average usage rate. “Troopers at the Colorado State Patrol are reminded nearly every day of the needless deaths that occur when someone neglects to wear a seat belt. And we are relieved when we respond to a crash where everyone survives be-

cause they took two seconds to buckle up,” said Colonel Scott Hernandez, chief of the Colorado State Patrol. “We would much rather write a seat belt citation than a fatal crash report. That means no excuses and no warnings if you’re not buckled up.” “We’ve made progress over the past year in reducing the number of people killed on Colorado roadways but still far too many motorists aren’t buckling up,” said Darrell Lingk, CDOT’s director of highway safety. “The Click It or Ticket campaign gives us an opportunity to remind everyone that seat belts save lives and that there are serious risks when people don’t buckle up.” High-visibility enforcement such as the Click It or Ticket mobilization is credited with increase seat belt use in Colorado. Since Click It or Ticket started in 2002 seat belt use has increased from 72% to 82% in 2012. There has also been a 58% decline in unrestrained deaths—380 in 2002 and 159 in 2012. During the Click It or Ticket enforcement the Colorado State Patrol also will be asking motorists to buckle up with radio messages as part of its commercial vehicle summer-long safety campaign which reminds motorists to give trucks more room on our roadways.

Last year during the May Click It or Ticket enforcement period, 8,803 seat belt violations were issued. Colorado’s Seat Belt Laws •Adults - Colorado has a secondary enforcement law for adult drivers and front-seat passengers. Drivers can be ticketed for violating the seat belt law if they are stopped for another traffic violation. Click it or Ticket enforcement focuses on speeding and aggressive drivers. Drivers who are stopped for a traffic violation and are not using a seat belt will be ticketed. The minimum fine is $65. •Teens - Colorado’s Graduated Drivers Licensing law requires all drivers under 18 and their passengers, no matter what their age, to wear seat belts. This is a primary enforcement, meaning teens can be pulled over simply for not wearing a seat belt or having passengers without seat belts. •Children - Colorado’s child passenger safety law is primary enforcement, meaning the driver can be stopped and ticketed if an officer sees an unrestrained or improperly restrained child under age 16 in the vehicle. Please find more information about the laws and how to properly restrain children at www.seatbeltscolorado. com and www.carseatscolorado.com.

Commissioners recognize top squadron at USAFA Special to The Tribune At their regularly scheduled meeting on May 21, El Paso County Commissioners adopted an official proclamation recognizing the 2013 “Top Squadron” of the United States Air Force Academy. This year’s winner, as selected by academy Superintendent Lt. Gen. Michael Gould, went to Cadet Squadron 22, The Raptors. This is the third consecutive year that the Raptors have won the honor, beating out 39 other squadrons. On hand to receive the proclamation was Col Joseph Sanders, Director of the Center for Character and Leadership Development and Lt. Col. Brandy Walton, Air Officer Commanding, CS-22. Also in attendance were members of Cadet Squadron 22: Cadet First Class William Suys, Cadet Second Class Jaime Ramey, Cadet Third Class Andrew Miller-Bissell and Cadet Fourth Class Anne Von Seggern. Lt. Col. Walton, who has been in command of The Raptors throughout their three year run as top squadron, thanked the commissioners for their recognition and praised the time and effort the squadron has logged in the name of excellence. “I can’t tell you how proud I

am of my squadron,” said Lt. Col. Walton, “These cadets behind me epitomize the Air Force core values and have built a culture of excellence within the Air Force Academy.” District 1 Commissioner Darryl Glenn, who presented the proclamation, spoke to the cadets on a personal level. “It’s unbelievable what you are doing and what you’ve stepped up to do, volunteering to serve this country. I am incredibly proud of you and I want welcome you to the Air Force family.” Commissioner Glenn, who is a 1988 academy graduate, plans to the make the top squadron proclamation an annual presentation of the board. The proclamation, coincidentally, came on the same day the BOCC adopted a proclamation in honor of Memorial Day. Chair of the Board Dennis Hisey spoke to that connection and thanked the cadets for their current and future service to the nation. Commencement exercises for the newest graduating class at the United States Air Force Academy will be held on May 29 at Falcon Stadium starting 9:40 a.m. with gates open at 7 a.m. Air Force Secretary Michael Donley will deliver the commencement address.

Members of Squadron 22, The Raptors, received the honors of top squadron at the Air Force Academy for three consecutive years. On May 21 they were recognized by the El Paso Board of County Commissioners when commissioners adopted a proclamation recognizing the top squadron. Courtesy photo

It looks like another effort to recall a Democratic state lawmaker could end up failing. Organizers who were seeking to recall Sen. Evie Hudak, D-Westminster, are suspending their signature-gathering efforts, according to an email obtained by Colorado Community Media on May 22. Organizers told recall volunteers in the email that they are making a “strategic decision” to suspend their efforts to recall Hudak, so they could focus on the ongoing recall efforts aimed at state Senate President John Morse of Colorado Springs, and Sen. Angela Giron of Pueblo, both of whom are Democrats. The organizers said in the email that they intend to “restart” their petition efforts against Hudak after they are successful in their recall attempts against Morse and Giron. However, the clock is ticking on that effort. Organizers only have until June 10 to submit more than 18,000 recall petition signatures to the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office. “The problem is, they pretty much have poisoned the well at this point,” said Arvada resident Dave Palm, who supports the recall effort against Hudak. Palm said it would be difficult to match the effort’s early energy and then come back to it again, after efforts have been suspended. Votes on gun-control bills are the primary motivation behind the recall efforts focused on four Democratic legislators: Hudak, Morse, Giron and Rep. Mike McLachlan of Durango. A recall effort against McLachlan died

on May 21, after organizers failed to submit enough signatures to the Secretary of State’s Office by that day’s deadline. Hudak was the sponsor of Senate Bill 197, which places gun restrictions on domestic violence offenders. The bill passed the General Assembly without any Republican support, and is awaiting Gov. John Hickenlooper’s signature. Hudak also voted for House Bill 1224, which limits the amount of rounds that a high-capacity ammunition magazine can hold, and House Bill 1229, which puts in place universal background checks on gun sales. Hickenlooper has already signed those pieces of legislation. Hudak also made headlines for what she said to a rape victim during a legislative committee hearing on Senate Bill 197. A Nevada woman testified that she could have defended herself against her attacker had she had a gun. Hudak responded by telling the victim that “… actually, statistics are not on your side, even if you had a gun.” Hudak later apologized for her comments. Organizers needed 18,962 petition signatures by June 10 to force a recall election against Hudak, who was first elected to office in Senate District 19 in 2008. The number of signatures required to force a recall is a percentage of the number of votes cast in the last election of that particular district. Hudak told Colorado Community Media that she wasn’t surprised the recall effort was suspended. “It was a single-issue campaign,” she said, referring to organizers’ focus on her gun votes. “When people would hear `recall,’ they would ask, `Well, what did you do wrong?’ People’s idea of why somebody is recalled would be because of wrongdoing, not because of how you vote. “I think it validates my support in the community.”

A Stratton’s philanthropic legacy celebrated Western Museum of Mining & Industry to open new exhibit in June By Norma Engelberg

nengelberg@ourcoloradonews.com

The Western Museum of Mining & Industry has long been a repository for Winfield Scott Stratton’s papers and other artifacts and Stratton owned some of Colorado’s richest mines so it’s fitting that the museum offer a glimpse into the life of this man in a new exhibit called “Scott Stratton-Gold King of Colorado and His Charitable Legacy: The Myron Stratton Home.” The exhibit will open at 5:30 p.m. on June 20. The opening will be followed by a lecture by Mark Turk, Executive Director of the Myron Stratton Home, at 7 p.m. Stratton struck it rich on July 4, 1891 at the Independence Gold Mine in the Cripple Creek Gold Mining District.

THE TWO LAWS THAT ARE THE SOURCE OF THE LAWSUIT

At issue for the sheriffs are the bills that ban all ammunition magazines sold or acquired after July 1 that hold more than 15 rounds of ammunition. HB 1224 also bans most other magazines of any size because it prohibits smaller magazines that are “designed to be readily converted” to hold more than 15 rounds of ammunition. As well, HB 1229 requires “universal” background checks before any sale or transfer of a firearm can occur, with some exceptions. Even considering the excep-

tion, the bill prohibits a wide range of common temporary or permanent transfers or loans of firearms between lawabiding citizens in violation of the Second Amendment. The statute allows gifts or loans between some family members, but excludes many common family relationships, such as former spouses, other partners, stepchildren and second cousins. Therefore, a person may not loan or give a firearm to a former spouse, even when the former spouse has temporary or permanent custody of the couple’s children and needs the firearm for protection of children. “I think our governor is smart and has made some good decisions but in this case he fell short,” Sheriff Mike Ensminger said. “By filing this lawsuit we hope it is going to bring wisdom, discretion and reasonableness to these bills.”

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS

Always a double feature for Alexander Film In an almost-forgotten time, my family would all pile into the sky blue and white Chevy 2 (precursor to the Nova), armed with blankets and pillows, and make a beeline to the Arroyo Drive-In Theatre near Cortez. Always a double-feature, usually including a John Wayne film, and frequently $1 a car -- my parents and a carload of kids would arrive before sundown to get a tolerable parking spot. The kids would utilize the playground equipment directly in front of the big screen until the countdown clock appeared and we realized we only had three minutes to run to the snack bar for one of those “Orange Balls” -- a round orange plastic container with a green top with a straw in it, filled with orange soda. That countdown clock, and most of the other snack bar reminders were produced at Alexander Film Company at its 18 acre “campus” on Nevada Avenue in the north end of Colorado Springs. “Alexander had a hand in many, if not most, of the intermission announcements clips that drive-in fans remember so fondly - not to mention the countdown clocks that let moviegoers know when the film was due to start, the warnings to remove speakers before driving away, the request that they dim their lights until exiting the theater,” wrote Mark Wolfe in an edition of “Colo-

rado Heritage,” produced by the Colorado Historical Society several years ago. “At the company’s peak in the mid-1950s, as many as 2,700 advertisers were using Alexander’s products. The company distributed the ads to 2,500 theaters nationwide, where they were seen by about 10 million people every week,” says Wolfe. Recently Alexander Film Company existed as Alexander Film and Video Services. “Over the last couple of decades our primary business has been with film and tape transfers, duplications, and replications. But we have recently resurrected our video production department with the hire of an award winning production team and the purchase of new state-of-the-art equipment,” according to the surviving compa-

ny’s web site. The company employed 300 people in 1928 when they built offices at 3200 N. Nevada and many of the other buildings on the 18-acre site. They moved the business from an Englewood site that they outgrew and the two Alexander brothers, J. Don and Don M. Alexander, even built their own airplanes to control the costs of shipping the trailer films from the centralized location here in the Springs. One of their aircraft is on display at the Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum in Denver. “In its heyday, Alexander Film Company’s lot hosted 32 full-size motion picture sets, modern film and audio laboratories, a sound recording department, an art department capable of creating cartoon animation, stop motion, backgrounds and other special movie effects, an engineering department and a full service print shop,” according to Alexander Film and Video Service, the surviving company. “To run this massive complex Alexander employed over 600 people locally and the annual payroll exceeded $2.5 million. A client list included a “who’s who” of the nation’s leading manufacturers including General Motors, Ford, U.S. Rubber, Philco, and Seven-Up. Regional offices were es-

tablished in Dallas, New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Los Angeles.”. “The late 1950’s saw the remarkable collapse of Alexander Film Co. through the advent of television and the closing of many local theaters throughout the country. What dealt the most crippling blow; however, was the fact that Alexander was a non-union shop which caused them to be “blacklisted” by industry professionals making it impossible for national advertisers to use Alexander produced commercials,” according to company information. “AFCO was a great place to work during the time I was there,” recalled former employee Sebastian Speranza in article posted on www.driveinworkshop.com. “People were treated kindly and with respect and were really friendly towards one another. I guess starting in the late `60s and thereon, things started going downhill … Yes, the drop in drive-ins and TV accounted for the decent of AFCO, but also so many different owners and changes in attitudes and the politics also contributed to its downhill slide. Sad.” The Arroyo Drive-In closed in 1988 and screen itself was removed in the mid-1990s. The Chevy 2 has been restored by a collector and I still like orange soda and John Wayne movies.

Weather is weird stuff, especially here This is Colorado, AKA Weird Weather Central, the state you know you’re in when you use the air conditioner and the furnace on the same day. Lately it seems weirder than usual doesn’t it? The Colorado State University’s Colorado Climate Center website, http://ccc. atmos.colostate.edu/, welcomes visitors with a message that pretty much says it all: “The climate of Colorado is fascinating in every way. Being located as a midlatitude interior continental state (and having the highest average elevation in the United States), combined with complex topography, results in dramatic climate differences from place to place and from year to year. From the Great Plains of eastern Colorado to the high peaks of the Rockies and the Continental Divide, to the valleys, canyons and plateaus of western Colorado, the various climates are each very different.” You might want to add `day to day’

and `hour to hour’ after that part that says “year to year.” Weather in Colorado is a quick-change artist. It doesn’t take long for a beautiful warm sunny day to become cold and stormy and vice-versa. At altitude and in our dry climate, which doesn’t hold heat well, even stepping into a shadow can feel like a 10- or 20-degree drop in temperature. There are a few things Coloradans have learned about climate and weather. For

The Dinky Train on Pikes Peak So, after I did that last item on the Dinky up Ruxton, I was asked, “What happened after the line closed?” Now usually that is not much of a good story, but this one is. Of the three cars that were used on the line only one is still known. I suspect the other two were scrapped. One car was taken up on the cog track to Minnehaha. The track maintenance crew, commonly known as “section crews” since they were assigned to a maintenance section of the track, lived on the mountain in the summer. They would walk their section to do the repairs. There were three section crews, Minnehaha, Mountain View and Windy Point. The section houses, where they lived, are still at the upper two, most visibly, Windy Point, which is a stone building. Mountain View used one of the cog’s old passenger cars and part of it is still used as a shelter. The Minnehaha building is gone. The Minnehaha section house was a little frame building, but in the 1930s the enclosed dinky was moved up and placed next to it. It was used for more storage. I would not know this had it not been for the Taggart family. Johnny Taggart’s father, Brough Taggart was the Section Boss at the cog for many years. He lived as a kid in the section houses along the line, later working in the shops and as an engineer. He had a collection of old family pictures, a couple of which showed the dinky at Minnehaha. There were stories that it was a car from the Midland Terminal, but once I saw the pictures I knew what it really was. The whole set of buildings there were removed in the early 1960s. The Windy Point building is still used

example, we learn a lot about graupel, including how to spell it. Graupel is also called soft hail or snow pellets and it looks like Styrofoam beads. It’s defined by the climate center as “snowflakes that become rounded pellets due to riming.” You experience riming every time you chip frozen fog from your car windshields. If I recall, I was doing that just last month or was it last week? The same thing happens to form graupel but, instead of your car, the nucleus is a snowflake and the rime ice isn’t thick enough around it to turn it into hail. Another thing we learn is that there is never a good time to pack away your winter things. Even when you no longer need them in the daytime, you’ll probably need them at night. After spending a lot of time traveling across the region to get the story, I’ve also learned that it always pays to carry water

The doors, windows, and wooden floor are now gone. The building got a new roof years ago, and the openings filled in. Plywood covers the doors and windows, but the marmots chew on the wood. A few years ago one door was eaten away up as far as the marmots could stand. The section crew put in a new door cover, but rather than have it just bare wood it was painted. Now if you go by the building it looks like it has nice doors and windows. Those are only “scenery,” actually painted to look like that. The door even has Brough Taggart’s name on it. One end, where the Taggarts lived has a face looking out that is supposed to be Johnny Taggart! The scenery was painted, and is maintained by a local artist, me. It is fun to each spring to touch up the artwork. It gets rather beaten up in the winter winds. Each year it is a bit different, flowers and curtains in the windows for example. It is fun to see a hiker walk up to a door and try to grab the door knob that is only painted on the door!

Good things about aging, how to get there Three retirees, each with a hearing loss, were playing golf on a fine March day. One remarked to the other two, “Windy, isn’t it?” “No,” replied the second man. “It’s Thursday.” Then, the third man chimed in, “So am I. Let’s go have a beer.” Aging can be entertaining…sometimes. I turned 67 a couple of weeks ago and my mind went to that contemplative state it has the past few years pondering the deleterious process of aging and assessing just exactly how I’m faring. Two quotes repeatedly rang in my head that day. One is attributed to the late actress Betty Davis, “Getting old ain’t for sissies.” And the other arrived compliments of my older sister who admonished me just before I ran my last Pikes Peak Ascent, “Do you know how old you are?” The May issue of Consumer Reports on Health arrived just in time to buoy my spirits. The lead article listed five ways you get better with age, touting the possibility that “old age can rank among the best years of your life.”

Number one was that anger, stress and worry are less common in people in their 70s and 80s than in any other age group. The finding was based on a Gallup telephone survey of more than 340,000 Americans of all ages. An increase in wisdom was the second perk in aging. Research suggests that, unlike memory and some other cognitive capabilities, the brain clings to its experience-based knowledge well into old age. Ranking third is the fact that marriages get healthier as we get “long-in-the-tooth.”

The Feb. 1, 2011 issue of Journal of Social and Personal Relationships reports that married seniors have greater satisfaction and more positive experiences with their mates than younger married couples do. An increased satisfaction with social relationships pulled down the number four slot as seniors typically have a smaller but closer circle of friends than younger adults. And finally, those of us on the short-end of the aging stick seem to be happier in our day-to-day life with fewer negative emotions. So how do we reach that Mecca of oldage well-being? Some suggestions come from the Harvard Study of Adult Development, which according to WebMD is the longest and most comprehensive examination of aging ever conducted. Researchers followed 800 men and women starting in the 1930s from adolescence to old age seeking clues to the behaviors that translate into happy and healthy longevity.

The investigators, expected to find the predictable factors of genetics, stressful life experiences, cholesterol levels and quality of childhood. Instead, they discovered that none of those factors were major contributors to successfully moving from middle age into your 80s. Rather than obsessing about your most recent blood panel or the genetic hand you’ve been dealt, the Harvard study found you’d be better off being preoccupied with the following: avoiding cigarettes; developing good coping skills, such as learning to make lemonade out of lemons; maintaining a healthy weight; exercising regularly; maintaining strong social relationships, including a stable marriage; and pursuing education.

WP 7th grader picked for state Geo Bee Local winner participates in 25th annual National Geographic contest By Norma Engelberg

nengelberg@ourcoloradonews. com A Woodland Park Middle School seventh-grader was one of 100 semifinalists eligible to compete in the 2013 Colorado National Geographic Bee in April. He didn’t win, that honor went to a seventh-grader from Aurora, but he still had a good time. After competing in schoolwide contests for fourth through eighth-grade geography students to determine the school’s winner and completing a qualifying test to send to the National Geographic Society, Darwin Edie, son of Kathleen and William Edie of Woodland Park, earned an opportunity to go to the state Bee on April 5 in Sturm Hall at the University of Denver. “It was a lot of fun,” he said. “They had this map that showed where we were from. I was in a green square all by myself. … It was a lot of work but worth it to see how much I could accomplish in a short period. It was a great ex-

perience.” Edie said he didn’t start to learn much about geography until sixth-grade but as soon as he was taught it he liked it. “It’s fun, it’s friendly and it requires you to think,” he said. He competed in the Woodland Park RE-2 School District’s preelimination rounds with about 50 other students. “We were broken into two groups,” he said. “The top five students in each group go to finals. I was in the tie-breaker group, the second 10 students. After the finals, there was the championship round with three questions. The student with the best score got to complete the multiple-choice qualifying test.” As for why he thinks he has made it to state, he said: “I have a pretty good visual sense; I can imagine how things look. I also have a good memory.” At the state contest Edie said the contestants were split into five groups of 20. “I thought I did ok,” he said. “There were some really hard questions; a lot on culture that I wasn’t prepared for.” The state winner received $100, the “Complete National Geographic on DVD” and a trip to Washington, D.C., on May 20-22 to compete in the national finals at the National Geographic Society headquarters.

Colorado planes once topped the world Alexander Aircraft Company made famous by barnstormers By Rob Carrigan

rcarrigan@ourcoloradonews.com At one time, from 1928 and on into 1929, the largest aircraft manufacturer in the world operated right here in Colorado. Even today, as you wander through Denver International Airport (DIA) you can still see a reminder of the once successful Colorado plane company hanging at the west end of Concourse B. An Alexander Aircraft Company 1930 Model A-14 Eaglerock that the Antique Airplane Association of Colorado took 25 years to restore, resides there in the upper reaches of the airport to greet air travelers from all over the world. “The Eaglerock biplane, made famous by barnstormers during the 1920s, was manufactured in what is now downtown Englewood, Colorado, and later in Colorado Springs, by the Alexander Aircraft Company. Barnstormers landed the Eaglerock in farm fields across rural America in the 1920s and ‘30s, giving rides in these `new flying machines’ to the brave souls willing to take the risk of flight. Ten-minute rides sold for 50 cents to a dollar,” wrote Ronald E. Newberg, exhibits manager at Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum in SWAviator in 2000. An older Model 24 Alexander Eaglerock aircraft also can be found at the Wings Over

The Rockies Air and Space Museum, (also rebuilt by the Antique Airplane Association). The Alexander brothers, J. Don Alexander and S. Don Alexander first business venture was in selling street advertising, and after a brief detour in the chicken business, they established the Alexander Film Company which focused on big screen advertising. As the business grew, they relocated to Englewood, Colo., from their home state of Washington in order to be more centrally located. “It was J. Don Alexander who came up with the idea of equipping his growing sales force with airplanes. This would serve two purposes: first, it would attract attention, and second, it would expedite distribution of the advertising films. The first plane, purchased by older brother S. Don Alexander, was a 1920 Laird “Swallow,” powered by an OX5. When the Swallow arrived in Denver it landed at Lowry Field, located at 38th and Daliah Streets in Denver. The next additions to the Alexander aircraft fleet were Longren biplanes,” according to Newberg. “J. Don Alexander wanted to purchase some forty to fifty planes for his salesmen. However, no one, not even the government, was buying that many aircraft in the 1920s, so the existing aircraft manufacturers would not take Mr. Alexander’s proposal seriously. This prompted him start his own aircraft manufacturing company,” Newberg said. The company built more than 900 planes

Interior of the Alexander Aircraft Factory in Colorado Springs in 1928. At the time, it was one of the largest in the country. in 1920s and 1930s, and by 1928, it needed to expand again. “Forced out of the Denver area by a landowner’s refusal to sell the land needed for expansion, Alexander Aircraft relocated to Colorado Springs.” “The Alexander Aircraft Company went on to build the unsuccessful “Alexander Transport,” a high wing, seven-passenger monoplane. However, other more successful models followed. In the 1928 - 1929 time frame the Alexander Aircraft Company was the largest aircraft manufacturer in the world, with the capacity of manufacturing eight airplanes a day,” according to Newberg. In 1927, J. Don Alexander wrote “Some fifteen months ago we of Alexander Industries began construction of a new light commercial airplane. The new ship’s performance was exceptional and price quoted in Denver was less than manufacturer’s costs on the first fifty produced. Therefore, as Emerson once said, `the world should have made a beaten path to’ the manufacturer’s door. But careful and expectant watching showed no signs of such a movement. We soon saw that we would have to carefully survey the path, pave it,

and put signposts up along its course before the public would even look in this very right direction.” That same year J. Don noted that only a year earlier, the company could only produce one ship per month but now were producing one per day and were still behind. “At this writing, we are forty-one ships behind sales.” But not all reports were positive. “One area manufacturer of planes about that time was the Alexander Company in Colorado Springs, which produced the Eaglerock plane. These aircraft...had more than their share of crashes. It got so bad that people made crude jokes about them such as: They call the planes Eaglerocks because they fly like an eagle and fall like a rock. Their track record finally became so bad that, as I understand, the authorities in charge of flying regulations banned further manufacturing of the Eaglerock,” wrote Robert Esterday in his 1993 book “A Kid’sEye View of Early Greeley.” Unfortunately, because of the depression, the company was forced to liquidate in the early 1930s, though remnants of the company lived on as Air Mechanics Inc., and even designed a five-seat low-wing monoplane in 1934.

nengelberg@ourcoloradonews.com Kathy Reynolds, director of the Cripple Creek District Museum, had big plans to celebrate the museum’s 60th anniversary. What she didn’t know until she started doing some research is that the day she chose to rededicate the museum was exactly 60 years after it was first dedicated on June 14, 1953. “We didn’t know June 14 was exactly 60 years, we just picked that date because there will be a lot of people in Cripple Creek because of the rodeo,” she told a gathering at the Headframe Tavern on May 21. The plans for the rededication have yet to be completely determined. As part of her presentation she read a resolution created by the state legislature and sent to then Gov. Dan Thornton commemorating the dedication of the

It was a tough row but worth the effort WPHS grad now graduating from AFA By Norma Engelberg

nengelberg@ourcoloradonews.com It might seem like yesterday that the Woodland Park High School community watched a Class of 2009 graduate accept an appointment to the U.S. Air Force Academy but Academy Class if 2013 graduate David Greenstreet, “yesterday” doesn’t come close

to describing his four years at the academy. “It seems a lot longer than four years to me,” he said. “Going to the Academy was tough and challenging.” He said the first year was tough physically. There was a lot of physical and military training involved. “The rest of the time was challenging academically,” he said. “The class load is 19 credit hours a semester. We had to take engineering even when we weren’t majoring in engineering, for example. Everybody works really hard because they want to have

the best chance to get the job they want.” Even though the work was hard, Greenstreet said it was all worth it. “Going to the Academy was the most incredible experience of my entire life,” he said. “I feel like I am capable of handling myself under pressure, of leading others in tough situations.” It wasn’t all grind, he said. “I had a lot of opportunities to jump out of airplanes, including five solo jumps,” he said. “You don’t get to do things like that just anywhere. The best thing about the acad-

emy is all the friendships I’ve made here.” Once he graduates on May 29, Greenstreet will receive his commission as a Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force. He plans to go on to intelligence school at Goodfellow Air Force Base in San Angelo, Texas. “I already have a decent understanding of how military intelligence works,” he said. Greenstreet is the son of Carol and Kirk Greenstreet, who live in Woodland Park. He has two younger sisters Becca and Sarah, who are also in college.

Palmer Land Trust preserves community values Conservation only part of its mandate

‘We don’t take a stand on land use. We work to preserve what’s important to our communities.’

By Norma Engelberg

nengelberg@ourcoloradonews.com For more than 36 years the Palmer Land Trust has been working toward protecting lands for public recreation and agriculture. The trust works in 10-county area of Colorado but the presentation given to the Woodland Park City Council at its last meeting by Executive Director Scott Campbell focused mainly on work the trust has done in Teller County to protect the slopes of Pikes Peak from development. “We wanted to form a continuous ring of public and private land around the Peak to protect it and agricultural land from growth,” he said. “We’ve been helped by Great Outdoors Colorado and the state conservation easement tax credit that was passed in 2000.”

Scott Campbell The Palmer Land Trust’s quarterly newsletter states that with help from other conservation groups and private land owners, the Pikes Peak Conservation Corridor, protecting the peak’s north face, is complete. The trust is driven by community values and is not an advocacy organization. “We don’t take a stand on land use,” Campbell said. “We work to preserve what’s important to our communities.” Using a map and slides, Campbell showed the areas around Pikes Peak that are already protected either as public land served by state parks and wildlife areas, National Forest or Bureau of Land Manage-

ment, or through conservation easements. The first of the land to be protected from development between Woodland Park and Divide was the Broken Wagon Ranch 1992 and the last of the large ranches in the corridor to be conserved for agriculture and to protect the view of Pikes Peak was the Markus Ranch in 2012. “This conservation corridor connects to Mueller State Park and Dome Rock,” Campbell said. “That park was formed when The Nature Conservancy and Colorado Parks acquired the Mueller Ranch in the 1980s. We’ve also helped preserve other agricultural lands and riparian areas along the

Gold Belt Scenic Byway.” Five years ago only 900 acres in those areas were preserved; now the number of preserved acres is 9,000, he said. He also pointed to fire mitigation work the trust performed on the Solitude Park Open space near the Cedar Heights in Colorado Springs. “It was to act as a buffer between the Pike National Forest and the high-density residential area but it also helped keep the Waldo Canyon Fire out of the neighborhood,” he said. “Contrast that with Mountain Shadows where no fire mitigation work was performed. We can help communities with conservation planning.” Since it began the Palmer Land Trust has protected more than 75,000 acres of historic farms and ranches, wildlife habitat, scenic travel corridors and recreation open spaces. This work has put the trust among the top 25 land trusts in the United States. For more information about the Palmer Land Trust, visit www.palmerlandtrust.org.

Cloud City coming to Green Mountain Falls By Pat Hill

phill@ourcoloradonews. com Christian Keesee has outdone himself this time. Founder of the Green Box Arts Festival in Green Mountain Falls, Keesee is bringing the 20-ton 16-module sculpture to the little town of about 900 people next month. The piece, by Tomas Saraceno, is titled “Cloud City” and, for six months last year, was displayed on the roof garden at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan, a temporary donation by Keesee. Viewed by more than 500,000 people, “Cloud City” is expected to jazz up the local economy, particularly during the 10-day festival in late June and the first part of July. While not every art collector switches from loaning pieces to a museum in New York City to a small lot in Green Mountain Falls, Keesee is not the average collector. With a generational attachment to the mountain town, Keesee spent summers with his family in the community. In 2006, Keesee emerged as a major force in the sleepy little town, buying and razing the motel on Ute Pass Avenue and establishing a park in its place. As well, he bought The Outlook Lodge and completely refurbished the historic building as a guest lodge, once the parsonage for Church in the Wildwood. In the former motel next to The Pantry, Keesee established a center for the festival which will eventually include an outdoor market. As a result of Keesee’s adoption of the town, Green Mountain Falls has become a place of enhanced cultural vitality, with dance, art, literature, theatre, music, craftsmanship, photography and the culinary arts.

The Haunted Windchimes headlines the Green Box Arts Festival in Green Mountain Falls. The popular group from Pueblo has fast become one of the most popular bands in the region. Photos by Christian Murdock This year’s festival is momentous, coming a year after the Waldo Canyon Fire in June when the entire town and the performers were forced to evacuate. “Despite the loss of the festival last year we realized how much we had to be thankful for,” said Ross Powell, marketing director for the festival. “This year’s will be the celebration we were not able to have; there will not be a dull moment.” This festival lineup includes a kick-off concert by the Haunted Wind Chimes from 7 to 9 p.m. June 26 on Ute Pass Avenue. Other performers are fiddler Kyle Dillingham and Keigwin + Company. The festival is sponsored by the Kirkpatrick Fam-

ily Foundation, in partnership with the town of Green Mountain Falls, Church in the Wildwood and the Pikes Peak Library District. For a complete list of events and times, check w w w. g re e n b ox a r t s. o r g . Registration is required for some classes and forms are available at the internet site.

Artist adds buzz to

Golden Bee

By Pat Hill

phill@ourcoloradonews.com Dramatic and elegant, the entrance to the Golden Bee at the Broadmoor hints of transport to another time, to an experience first glimpsed by the stained-glass windows on the dark wood doors. Of rare antique European glass, the windows were designed and crafted by Jane Riege of Woodland Park. “It’s the Rolls Royce of glass, which is only handmade in Europe. I ordered every piece of antique glass I could just to get through that job,” Riege said. “I was scared I wouldn’t have enough.” Riege won the contract from the Broadmoor’s owner, Philip Anschutz, to design 49 windows in the remodeled historic pub. Facing a pending deadline in April, Riege distinguished

herself among the various craftsmen, designing stained, etched, leaded and beveled glass. “I was runnin’ on time, the only female contractor up there,” she said. There are many “firsts” for Jane Riege. “In 1973 I was the first female bell hop at the Broadmoor,” she said. “I broke the barrier. There were 35 men and me. And this was before `women’s liberation.’” In a career with glorious highlights, such as the contract for windows at Grace Episcopal Church in Colorado Springs, Riege came narrowly close to choosing a different path. “After high school, I wanted to study art but my parents said that artists starve to death and I should get a degree in something that means something,” she said. “I love horses and ani-

mals so I got a degree in veterinary technology.” By 1978, however, Riege was ready to indulge her passion, beginning with a five-year apprenticeship for Richard Finch, a noted stained-glass artist at the Glass Menagerie in Colorado Springs. Her training sealed, Riege bought the business from Finch in 1984 and moved the shop to the historic Victorian home at 1606 S. Tejon Street. Her first commission was for windows at Grace Episcopal. A blending of artistry and history, Riege’s designs depict reformers in the 1300s and 1500s, two of dozens commissioned for a refurbishing project in the historic building. “Not only was I the only living artist, I was the only female,” Riege said. “The contracts were always passed from father to son never father to daughter.” At 6 feet tall and intense penetrating eyes, Riege is both regal and down-to-earth, artis-

Photo by Rob Carrigan tic as well as tough, undaunted by installing windows at such a venerable establishment as the Broadmoor. “I do my own installation, with help,” she said. Riege’s portfolio is rich in design and theme, poetic expressions of emotions, from joy and sorrow to hosannas and whimsy, from mountain

scenes, flowers and sunbursts to nautical symbols. “When I draw up a design I totally see those windows built and installed, through the final phase,” she said. Rather than basking in the glory of her creations, Riege has switched focus to designing windows for The Tavern at the Broadmoor.

TC Relay picks author as keynote speaker Cancer survivor designs clothing for flat-chested women By Norma Engelberg

nengelberg@ourcoloradonews.com The Teller County Relay for Life is right around the corner and the relay committee is working hard to make this year’s relay for the American Cancer Society a success. The relay starts at 7 p.m. on June 14 but earlier that day at the summer’s second Woodland Park Farmers Market, Police Chief Bob Larson will start his day as relay’s “Town Official in Purple.” Besides the farmers market, Larson will wear his purple regalia about town and at the Relay for Life that evening. Fashion designer, cancer survivor, author and former Colorado resident Lynne Hanson has agreed to be the Teller County Relay for Life’s keynote speaker. She will be flying in from Washington, D.C., just for this event. According to a short biography, Hanson, who has helped design some of the nation’s best-known fashion labels, was diagnosed with pre-breast cancer at the age of 40. She had two mastectomies but rejected breast reconstruction and challenged herself to live as a flat-chested woman. She set out to design a line of clothes as an alternative to reconstruction and prosthetics. One of the results of that challenge is her first book “Do You Think I Need to Wear Boobs with This Dress?” She hopes the book will help start a national discussion on the complexities of mastectomies and body image.

Fashion designer Lynne Hanson’s new book asks a question many breast-cancer survivors can relate to. After two mastectomies, Hanson refused reconstructive surgery and designed a line of clothing for flat-chested women as an alternative to reconstruction and prosthetics. Photos by Courtesy photo

Graduation isn’t just matter of degrees A week ago, Ana Elfring, 18, graduated from high school. The event wasn’t particularly emotional — she was ready to move on, the diploma the required bridge to a university education and her future. Two weeks ago, T.J. Sweetin’s grandfather solemnly handed him a folded American flag that had flown over the state Capitol; his parents proudly pinned the rank of second lieutenant onto his dress blue uniform. A college degree in hand and four years of ROTC behind him, the 21-year-old was, officially, finally, a Marine. Around the same time, Ellen Theis exuberantly accepted her English degree, six years after beginning it — and more than 30 years after her first literature class — on the day before her 52nd birthday. “I would call it a milestone,” Theis said, “and a dream come true.” The school year’s end marks one of life’s milestones, the ritual of graduation, an acknowledgment of accomplishment, a rite of passage from one point in life to another, wrapped in assorted ribbons of meaning. Educational achievements aren’t the only milestones that become defining pieces of our stories. There are first drivers’ licenses, first jobs, 25th wedding anniversaries and 50th birthdays. They seem to impart needed stamps of approval on life’s timeline. Interestingly, studies show countries with well-established cultural rites of passage — “very distinct before and afters” — tend to have lower crime rates in young adulthood, said Kim Gorgens, an assistant professor of psychology at University of Denver. Just as compelling, added Gorgens, is the mind’s ability to hold onto noteworthy memories about ourselves. “We have this natural tendency to be storytellers,” she said. “The autobiographical episodic memory is particularly

resistant to decay. … As we are losing our capacity to define ourselves, the last thing to go is our recall for significant events. It has a natural buoyancy.” Perhaps that’s because they can be among our happiest times. For Ana Elfring, these moments are more a series of steppingstones than milestones. Her 4-foot-11 slight frame belies a fierce strength. Determined to gather the resources needed to get herself to University of Colorado at Boulder, she navigated the financial aid maze on her own, securing several scholarships and a work-study grant. “It makes me feel really accomplished,” Elfring says of her successful effort to pay for college. “It’s like a weight off my shoulders.” She is most excited about the independence to choose what her day will look like, from what she eats to when she studies to what she does for fun. She plans to study biology and considers that graduation from college will, perhaps, mean more than her high school steppingstone. “I like to live more in the present than looking forward to something,” Elfring says. “But just because I’m not as goaloriented doesn’t mean that I don’t strive to succeed. It’s just that I don’t look at things as `Well, at this point I should have

achieved this much.’ I just kind of do my best as I’m going and see where it takes me. And, so far, I’ve been taken to pretty decent places. I’m going to the school I want to go to. I have friends and I have a job. So I’m pretty happy.” Thomas Joseph Sweetin is a tall, adventurous young man called T.J. after his namesake, his great-grandfather. His father’s job with the Drug Enforcement Administration moved the family around the country and instilled a love for change and excitement of the unknown. He likes to look forward and mark the big moments. Earning an international affairs degree from CU was definitely more meaningful than receiving a high school diploma for Sweetin. “College was different because I put so much work into it,” he says of days that involved not only academic studies but also hours of training and community service for the 100 students in ROTC. But the greater milestone, he says, is being commissioned into the Marines. “So many of my friends were upperclassmen, and we saw them graduate and get deployed, and you’re counting down the days to that,” Sweetin says. “When you’re a freshman, it feels so far off. You’re kind of waiting … for that day. The entire culmination of that whole college career is summed up in the one commissioning day.” In October, Sweetin heads to Quantico, Va., for six months of basic officer training. The next benchmark, he says, will be deployment. “It feels really good,” he says. “Life — it’s exciting. I’ve been ready for a while to get on with it.” On a recent Sunday morning, at the athletic field of Metropolitan State University of Denver, Ellen Theis hurled her dark blue cap into the air in exultation. A wife and mother who describes herself as a “why not?” person, she had always felt

“less than” without a college degree. The achievement filled her to brimming. “When it really hit was when I picked up my cap and gown,” she says. “It was very surreal. It was joyous. … I was struck wordless by the profound feeling of satisfaction and deep pride in myself.” The journey had been long and circuitous. After high school, without encouragement or financial resources for higher education, Theis worked odd jobs and became a hairdresser. Children and family then became priorities. But hovering in the back of her mind, always, was a yearning for school: “I wanted to learn about James Joyce and Shakespeare, and I wanted always to know more.” Over the years, through four colleges and three states, she took a course here and there. At 46, when she saw friends pursuing degrees, she decided she could do it, too. She started with one course a semester and kept adding until she was juggling four at once. And on graduation day, she proudly hung a blue-and-gold cum laude cord around her neck. She briefly considered not attending commencement. Then she realized if she walked away, the moment might be lost. “It’s much sweeter,” Theis said, “when it’s not handed easily to you.” She needed to mark this passage well. So her dad and stepmother flew in from California. Her husband and daughters, 15 and 13, bore witness, too. After, she felt complete. “My ideal self,” Theis said, “has a degree.” And so ends this season of milestones.

These small drill holes are part of a geomagnetic study conducted years ago by students at Colorado College. Geologists can track the history of change in the Earth’s magnetic poles using these cores. Geologist Bob Carnein said the planet is overdue for another magnetic shift. Photos by Norma Engelberg Geologist Bob Carnein points to an out-cropping of sandstone surrounded by Pikes Peak Granite. The site is along the Ute Pass Fault in Crystola and the outcropping represents an enigma that has baffled a generation of scientists: How did the younger sedimentary rock become surrounded by the much older igneous rock.

nengelberg@ourcoloradonews.com Members of the Lake George Gem & Mineral Club took two days to learn the lay of the land. Geologist Bob Carnein recently led the small group on a geological tour of El Paso County and Teller County. He was joined on the second day by Paul Combs, a GED science and math teacher for Community Partnerships Family Resource Center in Divide who just happens to have a deep interest in marine invertebrate paleontology. Carnein started the tour at the overlook on Mesa Drive in Colorado Springs. There the group could see not only the red and white Lyons formation, remnants of the Ancestral Rockies, standing on edge in the Garden of the Gods, but also the basin where Colorado Springs sits, the Colorado Piedmont, and the two faults that have been shaping the area for millions of years-the Ute Pass Fault south of U.S. 24 and the Rampart Range Fault, which runs through the garden. “This is one of the best stratigraphic sections Faults continues on Page 17

Geologist Bob Carnein of the Lake George Gem & Mineral Club points out that about 550 million years ago, marine invertebrates tunneled through mud at the bottom of an inland sea that covered parts of Colorado leaving behind trails that became ‘ichnofossils’ or ‘trace fossils.’

This lizard sunning on a rock at an old quarry in Manitou Springs doesn’t know that the tiny invertebrates that left their waste behind 550 million years ago to become ‘Green Stone’ would probably have been good eating.

in the county,” he said, pointing toward the Garden of the Gods and the exposed layers for rock in surrounding areas. “Normally this would all be buried about two miles deep but here it’s bent toward the surface by the Rampart Range Fault.” He explained the term “stratigraphic section” as sedimentary rocks piled up in sequence, usually with the youngest rocks on top. He added that the most important thing to remember about local geology is that the rocks get older as one moves west until they get to the area’s oldest rocks, the 1.07 billion year old Pikes Peak granite that formed this part of the Rocky Mountains. The same thing hap-

pens in reverse in South Park. “Geology is about being observant,” Carnein said. “You see something and try to explain how it happened.” That said, at every stop on the two-day tour he asked the participants what they saw. He pointed out examples of different formations with different characteristics and ages, made suggestions about how the formations developed and showed some of how geologists test their hypotheses. He also kept the group informed about the location of the two faults. The tour went into the Garden of the Gods, an old Manitou Springs greenstone quarry and up to the Cave of the Winds Parking lot. He explained how the green in the Sawatch sandstone is actually fossilize invertebrate dung and that compression and stretching during the Laramide Orogeny (mountain building) that formed the modern Rock-

ies about 40 million years ago also formed the mineral belt that has made the area famous for its gold and gemstones.” On the second day, the group started at the Cave of the Winds where they took a closer look at the William’s Canyon limestone formations. Most of the rest of the tour was in Woodland Park. The Ute Pass Fault, actually a fault zone rather than a single fault, runs close to Crystola and Carnein was able to point out a local mystery: How did the sedimentary sandstone become surrounded by the much older Pikes Peak granite? “If you ask 100 geologists you’ll get 100 different answers,” he said. “Since I’m the only geologist here today, you’re getting mine.” The tour was one of several geology field trips planned by the club through the summer. For more information about the club, visit www.lggmclub.org.

To geologists, the boulders that surround the parking lot at Woodland Park’s Memorial Park offer a long history or metamorphosis. The boulder between Paul Combs, left, who majored in marine invertebrate paleontology and geologist Bob Carnein shows a dark rock that has intruded into a piece of Silverplume granite, an igneous rock much older than the 1.07 billion year old Pikes Peak granite known locally.

School-finance overhaul signed Fate of measure will be in hands of voters By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Colorado public schools are a step closer to a major funding overhaul after Gov. John Hickenlooper on May 21 signed a new school finance act that proponents say would provide a long-overdue modernization of an antiquated school funding formula for classrooms across the state. But the governor’s signature doesn’t make the reform measure a done deal. Voters must give the go-ahead to the legislation’s price tag of about $1 billion in new taxes, something that Republican lawmakers are sure to rally against in the fall. If a vote falls short this November, the proposal could come back for funding votes through 2017. Hickenlooper, who was flanked at the Capitol bill-signing by legislative co-spon-

sors of Senate Bill 213, dubbed the “Future School Finance Act,” hailed the legislation as a way to “allow Colorado to vault to the top of every state” when it comes to school financing and transparency. “This bill really positions Colorado to be the national leader in terms of school reform, in terms of school effectiveness,” Hickenlooper said. The legislation would mark the most sweeping change to the state’s school finance formula that’s been seen in decades. The act would fund full-day kindergarten, provide preschool for at-risk children and would increase needs-based programs for special education students and children who are learning English. The legislation also would provide more funding for students who are involved in gifted and talented school programs. The bill would give school districts greater flexibility in being allowed the opportunity to have longer school years and school days, if they choose to do so. The bill also is expected to increase

per-pupil funding for most school districts across the state by way of a funding system that supporters say is a more equitable way of divvying up money. Under the new formula, the state would determine how much revenue individual school districts are able to raise, with the state backfilling the difference. The state also would provide more support for local mill levy-matching. And, the bill would create a new teacher evaluation formula that supporters say is badly needed. Sen. Mike Johnston, D-Denver, was the main driver behind the legislative effort. The former Thornton High School principal said the bill marks a “tremendous step forward” in making Colorado a school reform model for the nation. “Instead of forcing (students and teachers) to work in a system that was created before the Internet, email and cell phones ... they instead will work in a system that is built for the 21st century,” Johnston said. But Johnston’s efforts could be all for naught if voters do not approve funding,

which would come in the form of some sort of tax increase. Rep. Millie Hamner, D-Dillon, a bill sponsor, acknowledged that “the biggest challenge” will be in convincing voters to provide funding for the measure. Backers of the act don’t yet know what the tax measure will look like on the fall ballot. Hickenlooper would not say which tax measure he preferred, but did say that he “certainly” will campaign for the effort. The governor shouldn’t expect many Republican lawmakers to join him on the campaign trail. Republicans during the legislative session denounced the reform measure as a bloated effort that would lead to greater bureaucracy and doesn’t do enough to put in place necessary school reform measures. They also say the bill is nothing more than a $1 billion tax increase on the people of Colorado. The new school finance model would not take effect until the 2015-2016 school year. The 2013-2014 school funding model came in a separate piece of legislation.

Capstone Cyclogyro Project praised by Boeing Special to The Tribune United States Air Force Academy Cadets were recognized for their award winning design of a search and rescue and medical evacuation aircraft for the year 2045. Nine cadets from the Aeronautical Engineering 482 class designed “The Night Owl,” a futuristic cyclogyro that can direct thrust in any direction, allowing for a hover, forward or backward flight. The team spent a year on the capstone project and took first place May 9 in a Boeing competition against the U.S. Military Academy and U.S. Naval Academy. “This is a very impressive piece of work,” Dennis Muilenburg, Boeing’s executive vice-president, said to the cadets. “This competition gets tougher every year and you guys knocked it out of the park. Your ability to take ideas, put them into a design and build a working prototype is what differentiated the academy in the competition. Congratulations, this is clearly sophisticated work.” Cadet 1st Class Zachary Adams, chief engineer of the team, said the requirements set forth by Boeing included that the aircraft must have an operational radius of 100 nautical miles and would be able to complete its mission in an hour. “This was the toughest part of the requirements, since the aircraft had to be vertical takeoff and landing capable,” Adams said. “Speed was crucial to our design since seconds matter when someone’s life is on the line and it turns

they’ve got gloves on, blood all over the hands and they have to be sanitary for the patients,” said Cadet 1st Class Patrick Waters, who helped with communications and navigation for the project. “What we decided to go for was voice control; a lot of programs already use a similar voice control. While the technician is working they would say something like ‘blood pressure,’ and then it

would recognize what’s happening.” John Pletcher, an instructor in the academy’s Aeronautics Department who helped mentor the team, said cadets were excited about working on a real world project rather than simply an academic exercise. “Boeing provided $50,000 in gift funds for the project, which not only paid for the supplies and

materials to build two cyclorotors, but also allowed the cadets to travel to meet with Air Force experts in various disciples to determine Air Force needs, as well as new technology that is being developed in the Air Force Research Labs,” Pletcher said. Adams said the project has been a pioneering effort for everyone on the team. “Not many universities or organizations are conducting research on cyclogyros and by investing so much in a new concept our team has set out to accomplish cyclogyro ‘firsts,’ or in other words achieve something that has never been done before,” he said. “It certainly lends credibility to the academy’s undergraduate research programs and simply merits bragging rights.” Cadet 1st Class Lillian Pryor, program manager of the team, said the team hopes that flying this unique aircraft will inspire future cadets to attempt the impossible. “It gave us the opportunity to apply everything we learned as aeronautical, systems engineering aeronautical, mechanical and systems engineering management majors,” Pryor said. “We’re very excited that we’re able to show the cyclogyro’s potential and are attempting to achieve forward flight with our model, which would be the first recorded controlled forward flight of a cyclogyro.” The seniors involved in the project are Lillian Pryor, Zach Francis, Wolf Thielmann, Jordan Potterton, Luke Hantla, Kristin Long, Patrick Waters, Trey Cottingham and Zach Adams.

we’re po-By Norma Engelberg g tonengelberg@ourcoloraourdonews.com first flight The Headframe Tavern in Victor was hopping theplace when members of Zachthe Southern Teller County rdanEconomic Development ristinCoalition and the Cripple Cot-Creek and Victor business community came together for a “mixer.” The May 21 meeting, sponsored by the tavern, The Junk Posse, The Victor Spirit, the city of Victor, Black Hills Energy and

Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Co., was an opportunity to go over what the communities have accomplished and what’s coming up for the summer. This was the last such mixer until the end of summer. Coalition Executive Director John Posusta told the gathering that at the last mixer he was new and just learning the ropes. “Now I’m up to speed,” he said. One of the first things he talked about was the Cripple Creek 2013 Cowboy Gathering, which he said will involve the entire town and not just the Teller County Fairgrounds. While the June 14-15 Colorado Pro Rodeo Association sanctioned rodeo will be at the fairgrounds along with

That leaves the avenue

open for the other events taking place this summer, including all of the events happening at the end of June: the Once Upon a Time in the West Art Show, June 28-July 7, the 2013 Colorado State Gold Panning Championships June 28-30 and the 82nd annual Donkey Derby Days June 29-30. For a complete 2013 events schedule go to www.visitcripplecreek.com. Victor City Councilmember Veldean Petri talked about the work at the Gold Bowl to get it ready to draw in athletes who need a high-altitude training facil-

ity, the replacement of the ice rink and warming hut at Brian’s Park, the completion of the city’s 4th Street improvement project and a wayfinding project funded by a Scenic Byway grant. As towns along the Gold Belt Scenic Byway, Victor, Cripple Creek and Florence will all be a part of the wayfinding system. Many of these projects couldn’t happen without funding and volunteers from the Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Co., Petri said. For more information about Victor, go to www.vic-

torcolorado.com. Teller County Commissioner Marc Dettenrieder reported on the recent state legislative session. “We had a few scares but we made out relatively unscathed,” he said. “We live in the crown jewel of the Rocky Mountains. We have an opportunity to showcase our county and our municipalities by being extra friendly to visitors.” “You wouldn’t believe how many economic development wins happen because someone was friendly,” Posusta said.

Saxon Headed to Bethany College Woodland Park three-sport athlete will play volleyball for Bethany College By Danny Summers

jdsummers30@gmail.com WOODLAND PARK – Elin Saxon had the stage to herself on May 23 when she signed her national letter of intent to play volleyball for Bethany College in Lindsborg, Kansas. The event took place in the Woodland Park High School library in front of family and friends. “I realized I wanted to play college volleyball like now and be on the court and be a part of a team,” Saxon said. “I may not have had the opportunity to play right away at some of the other schools I was looking at.” Saxon was initially looking to play at the Division II level for either the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs or Colorado State University-Pueblo. Bethany, an NAIA school that plays in the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference, had been pursuing Saxon since last fall. “This is the right decision,” Saxon said. Lindsborg is a great community and Bethany is a great college.” Saxon was a middle blocker for Woodland Park High School. She will compete for a similar spot with Bethany. The Terrible Swedes have their first practice in early August and play first game Aug. 30 against Dallas Christian College in the Oklahoma Wesleyan Tournament. “It will be different,” Saxon said. “It will be more of a year-round sport from now on.” Saxon was a three-year starter for the Panthers. Last fall, she led the team in sets played (74), blocks (43), solo blocks (32) and digs (205). She was also third on the team in kills (119), kills percentage (30.9) and serve receives (184). A multi-sport athlete, Saxon was also a starting forward on the basketball team (6.6 points and 5.2 rebounds) and saw consid-

Saxon. “She truly dedicated. She’s a team leader on and off the court. She’s gotten to this point through a lot of hard work and dedication and pursuing her dream.” Bethany volleyball coach Nathalea Stephenson was on hand to support Saxon and help her through the necessary paperwork. “I can see Elin playing middle blocker for us,” Stephenson said. “We might also try her out at right-side hitter. She has nice ups. We’ll see how she does.” Stephenson is in her second stint at Wesleyan. She aggressively pursued a large signing that consists of nine freshman and four junior college transfers. “The pace in college is a little faster,” Stephenson said. “We worked Elinout earlier this month and she was very coachable.

She meshed well with the other players on the team. “A lot of her success depends on what she does in the offseason.” The fact that Saxon chose Bethany – a liberal arts college founded by Swedish immigrants in the Swedish-style city of Lindsborg – is just fine with Saxon’s mother, Teri. Teri is a full-blooded Swede who has spent lot of time in Lindsborg. “They have all kinds of neat Swedish things in Lindsborg,” Teri said with a big smile. “This is just meant to be.” Saxon is the second Woodland Park student-athlete to sign with Bethany. Earlier this year Michaela Huntington signed a scholarship to play softball for the school.

High-school racers get ready to drag Teens push cars to the red line at Bandimere By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Normally frowned-on activities like speeding and smoking the tires is encouraged May 27 for drivers competing in the Pepsi High School Drag Races at Bandimere Speedway. Mike Lawson said he has his pickup truck ready to race. “My older brother raced our truck last year and did OK,” the Littleton homeschool student said. “I want to do better than OK. I have been working to beef up the engine and I took some runs down the strip last year to learn how the race works. I think I am ready to go out and win some rounds of racing May 27.” Of course, winning rounds of competition will present a challenge because there will be several hundred young men and women pursuing the same goal. The majority of students are from the metro area and usually there is good representation from high schools such as Cherry Creek, Lakewood, Douglas County, Wheat Ridge and Englewood. But each year, there are drivers from other portions of the state as well as a handful of entries from neighboring states. Racing at the high school drags is limited to current high school students and 2013 graduates. There is also the opportunity for those 19 to 23 to drag-race in the alumni classification. To enter, the person behind the wheel must be a licensed driver. Rules also require the car to be equipped with seat belts, and the car must pass a technical inspection where the vehicle is checked to ensure the seat belts are securely fastened to the frame, the brakes are good and there is plenty of tread on the tires. The driver of any vehicle that makes runs down the quarter-mile strip faster than 14 seconds is required to wear a helmet. This year the gates open at 10 a.m., time trials begin at 11 and elimination races begin about 2 p.m. The event always draws a crowd on the track and in the stands. Last year, for example, even with the high cost of gasoline, about 450 drivers represented about 50 different schools in the drag racing competition. In addition to the races, there are contests to select the best-appearing car and the best-appearing crew. There are also

opportunities to line up and race against a police officer through the Race a Cop program. For information on ticket prices and more about the event, visit the website at www.bandimere.com or call the track at 303-697-6001. The annual event is very popular and drivers show up to race with all kinds of “wheels,” ranging from a hot rod that they drive in weekly races at the track to the family’s station wagon or sports utility vehicle. So, to make the competition as fair as

possible, entries are divided into two high school classes, one for the cars, trucks and motorcycles the kids drive on the street, and a different division for the drivers who will be behind the wheel of vehicles built to compete in drag races. Also, a handicap system called a dial-in is necessary because the field includes such a wide variety of vehicles. The dial-in time is set in time trials and the handicap system allows the slower vehicle in the head-to-head drag race to leave the starting line first. But, running faster

GUSTAFSON TAKES OVER GOLF TEAM

Former Woodland Park High School athletic director and boys basketball coach Brian Gustafson has been named the school’s new boys golf coach. Gustafson replaces Brad Eggspuehler, who coached the team for three years.

NEW FIELD TURF?

Woodland Park athletic director Michael DeWall said he is working on plans to have a new all-weather synthetic turf installed inside the school’s football stadium by the 2015 season.

Drivers get merchandise prizes each time they advance. The elimination races continue until a single driver captures the day’s championship. There a multitude of prizes given out during the competition and the day’s champion earns a shot at returning Labor Day to vie for the grand prize, a trip to Frank Hawley’s drag racing school in Florida.

Students express emotions in art By Pat Hill

phill@ourcoloradonews.com Expressions of loss and rejuvenation, the Legacy Project at Ute Pass Elementary School begins with the story of destruction of the playground by mudslide July 30, 2012. With the exterior rock wall near the playground as the artists’ canvas, fifth-grade students expressed their feelings in narrative, photographs and craftsmanship. “There has been so much change this year, because of the Waldo Canyon Fire that decimated the playground,” said Jennifer Hilyard, mother of a fifth-grader who took the lead on the project. “I had an idea of putting something together that would show the history of the fire, the flood, the mudslide and then the playground as it is now.” The story is in two chapters, on two exterior walls. One is a memory, of the way things were, of a playground that delighted students for years, a place where devastation by mud was unimaginable. “The students wrote the narrative about the original playground and what it meant to them,” Hilyard said. “The narrative includes a picture of the mud coming onto the playground and wiping it out. Underneath the picture is information about the Waldo Canyon Fire.” On the opposite wall is a happy tale, of a new playground with updated equipment and a soft surface. “The students did all the work, hand-stamped the tiles into the clay, wrote the narrative and drew the pictures which were fired onto the tiles,” Hilyard said. With tiles as chapters, the students express their sorrow with drawings of fire and of trees that were lost in the flood. “Most of them have something to do with the theme,” Hilyard said. For the school’s principal, Chris Briggs-Hale, the legacy project grants the students the opportunity to mourn but also to rejoice in the past. “I love the idea of memorializing the old playground and of the community coming together to build the playground,” he said. “The project captures the story and connects us to what

The Manitou Springs Women’s Club helped pay for supplies.
