Dave Paul. “It’s a great honor to be the guest conductor,” Paul said. Admittedly a novice at directing a professional orchestra, Paul will be granted one rehearsal before the big evening. However, Paul has one up on the new experience. “From my mother’s attempts to provide me with culture I do know how to read music,” he said. Perhaps a bit daunted by the challenge, Paul acknowledges a sense of gratitude for the musical selection. “I’m assured it’s going to be a march which should make any errors I make easy for the symphony to overcome,” he said. Paul is among the regu-

The hills are alive with sound of music every July 5 as Symphony Above the Clouds reaches new milestones. Photos by Rob Carrigan lars who spend the evening listening to the annual event sponsored by the Ute Pass Symphony Guild. “This is a significant event for Woodland Park; it’s attended by 5,000 to 7,000 people, it’s patriotic and smalltown,” said Woodland Park city manager David Buttery. “It’s just wonderful, families, generations, neighbors, friends, visitors enjoy the most beautiful music in a beautiful setting. Because there is no fee, businesses and individuals support the annual concert.” Woodland Park Mayor
Dave Turley highlights the ritual aspect of the event. “The July 5th Symphony Above the Clouds brings together our entire community and out-of-town guests for a glorious event with good times, great music, great food and a great celebration of the birth of our nation,” he said. “The 1812 Overture, fireworks (hopefully), and the Fort Carson cannons conclude an evening of fun and remembrance!” For many residents and tourists, the celebration that honors America’s inde-
pendence from England is two-day occasion. “The 4th is always a good time in Memorial Park while the Symphony Above the Clouds is icing-on-the-cake,” Turley said. “We all owe so much to the Ute Pass Symphony Guild for ensuring the success of this great event centered around the performances by the Colorado Springs Philharmonic. Everyone should come. Elevate your spirit and enjoy this great evening in the shadow of Pikes Peak. Life is good in Woodland Park!”
Marijuana ordinance on hold in Green Mountain Falls By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews.com As some nearby municipalities have dodged the marijuana bullet by prohibiting anything to do with the now-legal substance, the Green Mountain Falls’ board of trustees delayed their decision on the issue. Swayed by several public comments at the meeting June 18, the board tabled the issue until July 2. “What are you all scared of? It’s been here for 50 years; why don’t you make a little money off it?” said Kim Wert,
who owns the town’s liquor store. Joanna Bartko agreed. “Everybody else is doing it, as long as you have a handle on it. If we can make money off it, as opposed to charging for other things, I think it’s something you should consider,” she said. Jeremiah Nelson emphasized that Colorado votes legalized recreational marijuana. “Why don’t we treat it like alcohol and make money off it,” he said. “It’s a lot better than alcohol; I don’t see people going around getting DUIs; you can’t overdose on it, you’ll fall asleep first.”

‘If we can make money off it, as opposed to charging for other things, I think it’s something you should consider.’ Joanna Bartko Mike Urban drew a laugh with his comment. “I would say with age, marijuana becomes less recreational,” he said. Defending their decision for prohibition on the first reading of the ordinance, the trustees spoke out. “Ours was a not a kneejerk decision; we did a lot of research,” said Margaret Peterson. Howard Price offered reassurance. “If the ordinance passes, it does not mean you cannot smoke grass in Green Mountain Falls,” he said. With all the distance restrictions on marijuana establishments, the town is pretty much locked out of earning revenue from the sale of the substance, said Ralph LoCascio. “If we say it’s legal why do we make it so
difficult?” Tyler Stevens offered another reason for not supporting the ordinance for prohibition. “I think it’s premature until we receive guidance from the Department of Revenue, and what that’s looking like around the nation and statewide,” Stevens said. “I do see it as a potential opportunity for our community. I think we’re foolish to shut the doors immediately without evaluating the opportunities.” In the end, the board agreed to look at placing a moratorium on marijuana-related business rather than an outright prohibition. In another decision, the board voted unanimously to limit the new town hall to one story, with no basement.

GMF board meeting chaotic By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews. com Angry and ready for confrontation with the Green Mountain Falls’ board of trustees, about 20 citizens showed up at the meeting June 18 to offer support for Police Chief/Marshal Tim Bradley. Rumors had been flying around town, fueled by the thread of comments on Mayor Lorrie Worthey’s Facebook page, that the marshal had been canned. While trustee Howard Price denied that Bradley had been let go, the crowd was ready to do battle over the marshal, due to a leak relayed over Facebook. “I would like to see the marshal given a one-year contract,” said Billie Harwood, a summer resident who is an active participant in the mayor’s Facebook thread, with most of her comments berating the board for their decisions, including its denial of a service dog. Dick Bratton, former four-time mayor and perennial member of the board, referred to the Facebook comments by a few residents. “There is a persistent rumor that this board is out to get the marshal, to ask him to resign,” he said. “Your timing is really poor.

Our mayor ran on a platform of having better communication with our citizens; it hasn’t happened.” Bratton then took a pot shot at “some members of the board” who, he said, have the ax out for the mar-

shal. “You may have good reasons but you are a total board and employment is the function of the entire board,” he said. With an ongoing string of burglaries and a few marijuana cultivators in town, in addition to the threat of another fire, Bratton urged the board to retain the marshal. All comments were followed by raucous hoots, hollers and clapping from the audience. In a department with only two employees, Lori Van Sant asked what happened to deputies Ken McQueen and Felix Torres. “Why are we getting rid of something we need?” she said. Joanna Bartko praised Bradley’s handling of the recent food drive for victims of the Black Forest Fire as well as the Pony Run at Ute Pass Elementary School. In a plea for harmony, Jon Harwood intercepted the negativity. “If we could all just behave and get along, make an attempt to see the other side, I’d appre-
ciate it,” he said. After the public input, Price explained the limits imposed on the board by Robert’s Rules, particularly as they relate to the issue of the two deputies. “We as a board cannot discuss that; it is a personnel issue and we will turn that over to the town attorney,” Price said. “It was not this board’s decision to dismiss either of the two deputies.” Bradley agreed. “I am 100 percent behind this; these are issues that can’t be discussed,” he said, adding that he is interviewing four possible deputy candidates. In her usual calm voice trustee Margaret Peterson repeated what she said last month, protesting the verbal “pitchforks” against her and the board, most of them via the thread of comments via Worthey’s Facebook page. “I appreciate the comments of tonight; they were constructive but illustrate the point I was making,” she said. The crowd was in no mood for conciliation, with

one asking the marshal if he were asked to resign. “I was not asked to resign; I was asked to find another job,” he said.
Two days later, Price responded to Bradley’s outburst. “Bradley’s comment was totally and absolutely incorrect,” he said.

Drought alters way of living By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews. com The cultural and human costs of the ongoing drought are changing the way of life in the West. As fires threaten several areas in Colorado, with close to 1,000 homes destroyed within a year of each other in Black Forest and Colorado Springs, new conflagrations break out every day, many of them in Teller County. “They’re all droughtrelated,” said Leon Kot, consultant with the Natural Resources Conservation District. Kot, who retired several years ago, has been called back to NRCS to help steer fire-mitigation projects in the area. “Droughts and fires go together. The
Hayman (which burned 137,000 acres in 2002) came after the worst drought in 300 years.” In Teller County, the severe drought has impacted the area’s ranchers, with some forced to shut down their operations. “We at NRCS advise people to find other pastures, reduce their herd size, whatever it takes,” Kot said. The drought is eerily similar to another time in America. “If cows overgraze, the land not only loses its cover but it starts blowing. They’ve had dust storms in eastern Colorado, straight out of the 1930s,” he said. One local rancher gave up and sold out. “He told us he couldn’t take it anymore,” said Pat Galvin, director of Teller-Park Con-

Photo by Pat Hill servation District. “He took his cattle with him and bought a ranch in Arkansas, where it rains.” As water becomes more precious, statistics strike home. For instance, agricultural enterprise, private or corporate, uses up to 80 percent of the water in Colorado, Kot said. “Drought, agriculture, water supply, they’re all inter-woven,” he added. If the drought weren’t bad enough, the lack of an adequate supply of water dates back to the Colorado River Compact of 1922. “A lot of Colorado water goes to Palm Desert, Calif. so they can water their golf courses,” Kot said. “That’s not good but that’s the way it is.” As creeks go dry and animals look for other sources of feed, some happen upon the killer, loco weed. “It’s toxic at any stage and it’s addictive; if you catch it early enough you can wean them off of it, but if you don’t, there’s no cure for it,” Kot said. “Drought has other long-lasting effects that you don’t even think about.”
JANE LASS AT SILVER SPRINGS RANCH IN WOODLAND PARK
A lifestyle that combines hope with resourcefulness, ranching in Teller County these days takes a toll on the family enterprise. “Ninety percent of the nation’s ranches are owned by families,” said Jane Lass who, with her husband, Dick, owns Silver Springs Ranch in Woodland Park. It’s the hog and poultry farms that have gone corporate, she added. As the drought worsens, ranchers, especially the younger ones, are getting out, thus affecting the nation’s food supply. “My concern is that the national herd is getting less and less; it hasn’t been this low in 60 years,” she said. With the loss of the younger generation to carry on the tradition, even a sud-

Courtesy photo den change of mind may not save the family ranch. “These folks are depleting their herds, culling deeply, but when conditions get better and they want to restock the herd, the price is going to be a factor in replenishing,” Lass said. “My concern is for the younger ones; some of the older ranchers have weathered this over the years.” As established ranchers, the Lasses do what they can to battle the elements yet, at times, feel closed in, particularly, as a water source on one of their leased pastures is expected to dry up. “We’ve leased this land for 18 or 20 years; this has never happened,” she said. Not only are the Lasses affected but so, too, is the landowner, who will probably lose income on the property. Another of their pastures is on U.S. Forest Service land but the Lasses feel time may be running out, with water evaporating out of creeks and ponds. “We’re aware that we may not be

The ongoing drought is affecting the pastures around Teller County. As a result, ranchers are leasing rangeland in a variety of places to try and keep their cattle healthy. Photo by Pat Hill able to be on it as long,” she said. “Obviously we’re going to have to find other places.” Keeping one step ahead of the other side of dry, Dick Lass developed a spring in a cost-sharing enterprise with Natural Resource Conservation Service. “So that’s really improved at least one pasture because the water source was becoming a little iffy,” she said. “With the hot windy weather we’re
just watching the grass burn up.” In what seems like a doomsday scenario, Lass is struck by a common thread in the agricultural community. “Ranchers are eternally hopeful, say the rains will come; they try to be resourceful, to look at all their options but sometimes you run out options,” she said. “Timely rains could help. That’s all we’ve got to hope for now.”

Black Forest residents return home Fire at 100 percent containment By Lisa Collacott
lcollacott@ourcoloradonews.com Just a little over a week after the most destructive fire in Colorado history started the fire was called 100 percent contained on Friday evening and most residents have been allowed to go home. As of June 20 the fire, which started on June 11, burned 14,280 acres taking 511 homes with it as it devoured anything in its path. As of the morning of June 20 the fire was 95 percent contained and Rich Harvey, incident commander, was hoping for 100 percent containment by the evening. Harvey and his Type I incident command team were getting ready to leave and move on to another fire and the Type 3 management team was scheduled to take over on June 21. “The fire is not a done deal. The fire will not be left unattended,” Harvey said. The fire also tragically took two lives. The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office has identified the victims as 52-year-old Marc Herklotz and his wife 50-year-old Robin Herklotz of 6720 Jicarillo Drive. El Paso County Sheriff Terry Maketa has said the couple were found in their garage and appeared to be getting ready to evacuate. During a news briefing when Maketa first announced two victims had been found Maketa said that someone who had spoken with the couple the afternoon of the fire said the two had said there was a glow to the west and they were preparing to leave. During a second conversation with
the couple popping and cracking could be heard in the background. Marc Herklotz was a civilian contractor and Robin Herklotz was an Air Force contractor according to a press release issued from Air Force Space Command. “The men and women of Air Force Space Command are saddened by the loss of these two members of our AFSPC family,” said Gen. William L. Shelton, AFSPC commander, in a statement. “I extend my deepest condolences to the family and friends of Marc and Robin during this very difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.” Most areas of Black Forest re-opened at 10:00 a.m. June 20 for residents to go back home or to their properties except for Darr Circle, Peregrine Way, Falcon Drive, 12715 Milam Road and 4150 and 4350 Shoup Road. These areas are still closed due to an active crime scene investigation. Residents with Black Forest Fire Re-Entry Information Packets and red placards were allowed open entry to the burn areas. Access was allowed for residents at all road closure points and without restricted hours. The National Guard and law enforcement agencies that have been assisting El Paso County Sheriff’s Office will no longer be needed to secure check points after 8:00 a.m. June 22 when roads will be open except those around the crime scene. Maketa thanked the law enforcement agencies that have assisted them and said there are many stories of heroic acts from law enforcement and firefighters. He also said there were seven burglaries in the evacuation areas and they are being investigated. The June 20 press briefing was the last formal press conference.

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS
Fearing fire in a crowded mining camp Colorado is not alone in fearing fire. But with the ramshackle, haphazard, tent-city way many of the mining districts sprang into being, coupled with high altitude, windy, dry weather in the state — entire cities could disappear in a puff of smoke. “Nothing scared the residents more than the dreaded cry of fire.” according to Duane A. Smith in his recent book, San Juan Legacy: Life in the Mining Camps. “Camps and towns all heard it eventually. It was hoped that the fire laddies were up to the challenge.” The fire could come from anywhere. “A forest fire which was started from a camp fire last evening had been burning all day north of the mining camp of Gold Hill, a town of 500 inhabitants, fifteen miles from here. The timber was dry as powder, and a fierce wind carried it over five miles of dense timber in a short time,” read the Nov. 16, 1894, dispatch of the New York Times from Boulder. “Fifty people came into Boulder this afternoon in wagons from Gold Hill. They report that the business men and miners were carrying what goods and property the could into the mining tunnels, and had abandoned hope of saving their stores and their dwellings.”
Early property loss estimates for the first day of that fire was over $1.5 million. “The residents of Gold Hill, who have not come to Boulder, have assembled at the top of Horsefel Mountain, and are watching the progress of the flames as they consume their former homes. The wind is blowing furiously, and drives the fire before it in larges sheets of flame,” said the Times. With the threat of fire came the development of various innovative warning systems. Cripple Creek, for example, after suffering through two devastating fires early in its existence, was particularly jumpy. “The town itself was visible from almost all of the railroads and mines …” wrote
turn-of-the-century-era resident Raymond Colwell in 1962. “Occasionally, we would be awakened by a chorus of short, sharp toots from trains and mines in the dead of night, and we’d roll out to see where the fire was. A fire, even though just starting and very small, almost sure to be seen by some train crew or mine engineer who would start his whistle going, with the chorus taken up by others as they heard the alarm,” according to Colwell. “Another commonly used fire alarm was five or six pistol shots as fast as the gun could be discharged. The townspeople were naturally fire conscious. Some of them remembered the big fires of 1896, and everyone realized that like all mining camps, another such conflagration could occur at any time.” But, in addition to whistles and pistol shots, other ‘modern’ alarm methods were beginning to be used as well. “I have a card listing the locations of the 26 fire alarm boxes in Cripple Creek, about 1903 or 1904,” Colwell said. “It would probably be difficult now to even locate some of the street intersections themselves, and I’m sure most of the buildings near them have been torn down. The
boxes were numbered from 5 to 45, and when a box was pulled, the number rang in all the stations, and also on a big bell on the Central station which could be heard all over town. Box Number 12, for instance would be one stroke, a pause, two strokes then a longer interval, and repeat. That was great for us kids, because if we were not otherwise engaged we knew just exactly where to head to see the excitement.” Getting to the fire was also dangerous in the mining camps at times. “Driving a spirited, excited team to a fire wagon could become quite a trick on some of the streets in Cripple Creek, especially when there was snow on the ground. Going uphill, the men used to hop off and push when the going got rough, but the hardest thing was to hold the outfit back when going downhill. I well remember one bad crackup when No. 2, The Old Town Company, came down Fourth Street and tried to turn on Eaton. The horses, a beautiful team, slid around and into the fire plug there and turned over. I believe the driver was fatally hurt and two other firemen put in the hospital. The wagon was completely wrecked, and I think one of the horses had to be shot,” recalled Colwell.
Black Forest will rise from the ashes Like everyone else I am still shocked by the fire that burned through Black Forest. What happened is exactly what Black Forest firefighters and board members have feared for a long time. I’ve heard time and time again it’s not `if’ but `when.’ I knew it was a matter of time before there would be a fire of this magnitude somewhere in the Tri-Lakes area but I honestly didn’t think it would be so soon after the Waldo Canyon Fire. I think the fact that the fire happened nearly two weeks before the first anniversary of the Waldo Canyon Fire came as a shock to everyone. The community is still healing from that. My aunt and uncle nearly lost their home during the Waldo Canyon Fire and I know people that lost their homes in this fire. The Waldo Canyon Fire was hard to swallow but I think because I spend more time in Black Forest, after all it is part of my coverage area,
it has affected me more. Countless times I have gone down Shoup Road to get to Edith Wolford Elementary School, The Pinery or the Black Forest Community Center. Once I had to go to the area around Peregrine Way and Darr Drive to take a picture for a story about some new homes being built.

In a small new study published in PLOS ONE - an international, peerreviewed, online scientific publication – Norwegian researchers found that, when it comes to your negative health markers, it may be more important to reduce your hours sitting than it is to exercise vigorously. According to an NBC news report, when the volunteers in the study spent two hours standing and four hours walking, they had healthier insulin levels and lower triglycerides that when they logged an hour a day busting their buns cycling in a gym. The research project required 18 college students of normal weight to spend several days participating in one of three regimes. The first group sat for 14 hours a day with no exercise; the second control group sat for 13 hours but logged an hour a day of vigorous cycling, while the third group sat for only 8 hours a day, walked 4 hours and stood for 2 hours. The scientists measured the subjects’ insulin sensitivity and blood lipid levels after each phase of the experiment. There was no surprise that the sedentary group had the worst insulin, cholesterol and triglyceride scores. The interesting finding was that the control group that stood and walked for a total of 6 hours a day had markedly better blood panel scores that the vigorous exercisers. Triglyceride levels barely improved for the cyclists but were 22 percent better when the volunteers only sat 8 hours a day. These new findings continue a research trend in the embryonic science of “Inactivity Physiology” demonstrating that sitting has a negative impact on a whole host of disease processes. A 2010 study found that even among those who were regular vigor-
out to Black Forest. I was a junior in high school and one of my closest friends moved up north to Briargate and started attending Rampart High School. It was the first year the school was open. We got the brilliant idea to tell our moms we were spending the night at each other’s houses in order to stay out all night. We ended up staying the night at one of her friend’s houses after we realized there was not much to do. Her friend lived in Black Forest and I remember driving on a winding road that seemed to go on forever, in the pitch dark. When we woke the next morning I saw that I was surrounded by trees. The area was very beautiful. Another one of my aunt and uncle’s lived out in Black Forest until they decided it was too hard to get into town for work during the winter. My family was in the pre-evacuation zone. So I worked from home to get the up-

Scientists have recently reported research showing that baby boomers are less healthy than their parents at the same age, which is attributed to the fact that the Greatest Generation spent much more time doing chores and walking out of necessity. Experts say the remedy for the ills of sitting is to move and stay active even while at work. Stand up and walk around the office every 30 minutes. Make every coffee break a walking break; take the stairs; do chair squats at your desk and then move the chair and do desk pushups. Perform body lifts by placing your hands on the arms of your desk chair and lifting yourself up off your chair. You can work on your buns-of-steel while sitting at your desk by squeezing your buttocks for 5 to 10 seconds ten times 3 times a day. And finally, switch between your desk chair and a Stability Ball every couple of hours to work your core muscles. The message from the world of science is clear … get off your duff, it’s killing you.

dates to my editor so he could get them to our readers’ right away. He was in the preevacuation zone as well as was many of our readers. Many of you were in the mandatory evacuation zone. And as you know it was very frightening and stressful. Our fear was that the fire would jump Colo. 83 and into Flying Horse and roar through our Gleneagle neighborhood. We all saw what the Waldo Canyon Fire did. And while the fire was burning uncontrollably in Black Forest the Royal Gorge Fire had jumped the Arkansas River. Never underestimate what a fire can do. I’m glad you are all safe and my heart goes out to those who have lost their homes and pets and to the family of those that lost their lives. The people of Black Forest are resilient and strong and the community will come back.

A special seminar, titled School in the Woods: Lessons Learned from Creating a Nature Based School seminar will be offered, Tuesday, July 2, 2013, 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. at the Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument. Description: The two teachers who created Academy School District #20’s School in Woods will share learning experiences inspired by nature which teachers can implement in their classrooms, on their school m togrounds, or on field trips. Activities will be pre-integrated with state standards in Science, f ourReading, Writing, and Social Studies. Teachnda-ers should come prepared to spend an acow ittive day outdoors. Please wear appropriate fear and Glet the e fire orest kana fire As officials allow some Colorado residents back into the wildfire areas, there are heart important steps homeowners can take to omes begin the recovery and insurance claims t lost process, says the Property Casualty Insurers Association of America (PCI). lient “Although losing a home and personal ome belongings can be overwhelming, the good news is that by working with your insurance company, there are things you can do to ease the recovery process,” said Kelly Campbell, vice president for PCI. “Homeowners insurance is a partnership and the sooner you contact your insurance company or agent, the sooner you can start returning your life to normal. Insurers are ready to work with policyholders to help them understand the claims settlement process and offer customer assistance. ” By following these four steps you can take positive actions that will speed up the claims process: Step One: Contact Your Insurer and File a Claim. Filing a claim gets an insurance adjuster from your company assigned to you. If a home is uninhabitable after a covered loss, the Additional Living Expenses (ALE) provisions of a typical policy will help the homeowner find temporary housing white the home is rebuilt. Homeowners should keep all receipts for hotels and restaurants for reimbursement. ALE does not cover all living expenses, but it does cover the increase over normal living expenses. Homeowners should continue paying their mortgage and property taxes on their home. Step 2: Make a Home Inventory. Homeowners with a total loss should begin making lists of their personal belongings in each room so your adjuster can understand what needs to be replaced,” said Campbell. “Go room by room and write down furniture, accessories, electronic equipment, kitchen housewares, clothing, jewelry, linens and toiletries. Step 3: Work Closely with the Claims Adjuster. Public adjusters are independent business people that have no relationship with your insurer. These individuals may solicit homeowners after these fires. For a fee, a public adjuster will help a homeowner document the loss, schedule inspections and negotiate a settlement. It is important to understand that the fee to pay the independent adjuster comes out of the settlement provided by the insurer. Your company adjuster will walk you through the claims process, answer questions, estimate the damage to your property

Associationu rges homeowners to contact insurer and fairly and promptly settle your claim. Regular communication with your adjuster will make the settlement process move efficiently and smoothly. The adjuster will work with the homeowner and their contractor to develop a scope of work. This is a detailed building plan used to reconstruct the home. The adjuster will use the previous floor plan, square footage and interior finishes like carpet, counter tops, cabinetry and plumbing. Homeowners with a replacement cost policy will cover the cost of rebuilding the house with materials of like, kind and quality subject to limits and terms of the policy. Step 4: Understand your Coverage and Ask Plenty of Questions. It is important to understand the separate types of coverage under a policy. ALE will cover temporary living expenses during rebuilding process. Coverage A covers the cost of rebuilding the home. Coverage B covers detached structures like a garage and is generally a percentage of the Coverage A limit. Coverage C covers the contents and personal possessions in the home and is generally a percentage of the Coverage A limit. As the rebuilding process gets under way homeowners will hear different terms like Coverage A and Coverage B. Homeowners need to understand the type of policy they have and which expenses are paid for under what coverages. There are two kinds of policies: A replacement cost policy will generally repair or replace damage personal property. While an actual cash policy only provides reimbursement for the depreciated value of covered personal property. Homeowners should always be comfortable to ask questions and don’t be afraid to talk to a supervisor within your insurance company. The Colorado Department of Insurance is available to answer questions or assist with a claim. Consumers should know their rights and what resources are available. PCI is composed of more than 1,000 member companies, representing the broadest cross-section of insurers of any national trade association. PCI members write over $190 billion in annual premium, 40 percent of the nation’s property casualty insurance. Member companies write 46 percent of the U.S. automobile insurance market, 32 percent of the homeowners market, 38 percent of the commercial property and liability market, and 41 percent of the private workers compensation market.

June is Elder Abuse Awareness Month By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews.com
A recent bill passed by the Colorado legislature states guidelines to protect at-risk adults. In Teller County, Mary Kottwitz, adult protection caseworker for the Department of Social Services, says the number of reported elderly abuse cases has risen. June is Adult Protection Month. Photo by Pat Hill
Next year, at-risk adults and those 70 and over will have added protection as a result of a Colorado Senate bill that mandates reporting of suspected abuse. “If they fail to report, they could be charged with a misdemeanor,” said Mary Kottwitz, adult protection caseworker for Teller County Department of Social Services. Kottwitz is the face of the county’s adult protection team. Dedicated to helping the elderly, Kottwitz is making a difference in the lives of adults who face financial or other exploitation in addition to sexual, physical or emotional abuse. In Teller County, reports of abuse have increased since Kottwitz joined the team. “We’re out there more, in the public talking about the kinds of things people see,” she said. “We see dementia issues and lots of self-neglect.” With June recognized as Elder Abuse Awareness Month, Kottwitz and her supervisor, Mary Longmire, hope to make a difference in the lives of the county’s elderly, especially those who are caught in abuse situations. At-risk adults may have suffered traumatic brain injuries, are medically fragile, frail and elderly, mentally-ill or substance abusers. However, adults are not required by the bill to accept help. “Adults, unlike children, have the right to make bad decisions,” Longmire said, referring to a substance abuser who refuses help. When an elderly person has been the subject of a report, DSS has an assessment team that considers several factors in determining if help is needed, including those facing danger, are vulnerable, have compli-

The grand finale after the ceremony at the Capitol in Denver when the Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Co. donated 65 ounces of gold for the restoration of the Capitol Dome. Photos by Pat Hill
CC & V recognized as celebrities By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews.com Decked out in black matching shirts with an imprint of the Capitol Dome on the back, employees of the AngloGold Ashanti/Cripple Creek & Victor Mining Co. lined the stairs of the state capitol to hand over 65 ounces of gold to Gov. John Hickenlooper. In a ceremony June 18 in Denver to celebrate the restoration project, with gold mined in Teller County, CC &V’s general manager Ray DuBois highlighted the company’s corporate culture and values. “At CC & V, safety is our number-one priority. We understand the need for safety in our daily workplace. But gold presents another value, that we leave the community and society in which we operate better for us having been there. Colorado gold
on Colorado’s capitol dome demonstrates this value. “Gold mining was Colorado’s first industry and remains a vital part of the state’s economy today. Currently CC & V is in the beginning stages of a new project that extends the active mining operation to 2025. CC & V employs over 500 employees and 200 contractors so, with the mine-life extension, that number will grow to over 625 employees as well as over 400 contractors during the construction phase. Each CC & V job supports 4.6 jobs in Colorado.” For the donation, CC & V shipped 65 ounces of gold bullion to the Guisto Manetti Battiloro company, which transformed the gold into gold leaf, DuBois said. “Manetti, founded in 1820 in Florence, Italy, is one of the very few operations worldwide capable of producing gold leaf,” he CC & V continues on Page 11

said. “Ten ounces of gold dore´buttons will be kept by the state for future replacement and repair. The total value of the donation, including the refining charges, is approximately $125,000.” The donation reinstates a tradition started in 1908 of using only pure Colorado gold on the dome. “We all take pride in knowing we played a role in the restoration of the Capitol Dome,” DuBois said. “Gov. Hickenlooper, it is my honor to present you with gold from the Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Co.” Dazzled by the lustre of the gold leaf, Hickenlooper reacted. “This is so cool. In my entire life did I ever think I’d be touching pure gold leaf,” he said. More formally, the governor continued. “It’s going to take about 140,000 sheets of gold leaf to gild the dome; we’re going to begin this process this summer. Historically, this dome has been a beacon for the entire state, a beacon of opportunity, of economic development, of the state coming together and solving our problems,” he said. “Not looking away but working toward solutions and really defining our state as a magnet for entrepreneurs, for small businesses. I think that innovation is going to define our future and in many ways this dome is a symbol of the connection between our past and our future.” For Marie Patterson, who has 23 years of mining experience, the ceremony was momentous. “I’ve watched this through the whole process,” said Patterson, manager of state government affairs for Anglo Gold Ashanti in North America whose offices are in Denver. In 2006, Patterson made the connection with the state, offering gold from the mine in Teller County for the gilding. The 10 dore´

Patterson is so involved in the enterprise she traveled to Florence, Italy to watch the gold being turned into gold leaf by Manetti. “The gold leaf is five miles long when rolled out, like a thin pie crust,” she said. “For the dome, the gold is alloyed with silver and

Fossil discovery celebrated By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews.com A lucky break for science, the discovery of a bird fossil from 34 million years ago, happened in a classroom at the Discovery Canyon School in Colorado Springs. “I instructed the students how to go about splitting shale to find fossils,” said Shawn Frizzell, interpreter at the Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument. “A little girl picked up a piece of shale, proceeded to split it open and there was a fossil in it. She had no idea what it was, thought it was a fish and wanted to split it open again.” Frizzell intervened in the student’s next move. “I looked at it and said `oh, wow! There’s the head, the eye socket, part of the beak, feathers, legs,’” she said. “It’s a wonderful educational tool to use.”
But for Frizzell’s trained eye, the shale might have gone unnoticed. “I’m really glad I was there because I have been looking at these fossils for 14 years,” she said. Linden’s discovery was a fluke, one that had Frizzell and the students scrambling. “I tried to find all the other parts to it, the rest of the beak, but we couldn’t find it,” she said. Today the fossil is in the research center at the Monument and Linden is a National Park Service celebrity who was honored in a ceremony last month. “It is one of those life-changing events because she is very interested in science, wants to study wildlife and plants,” Frizzell said. The shale came from the Florissant Fossil Quarry, a private quarry owned by the Clare family.

HISTORY
We started as pick-up band for Steve at the June 20th, 2002, Mountain Acoustic Music Association Celtic Concert. Steve had met Kent Hiestand, a piper, and Ron Sommers at the Sunday afternoon Irish Traditional Sessions at Jack Quinn's Pub. Then Ron started asking first Steve then Kent to fill in for Finn MacCool at a regular gig until they were the only ones showing up. Finally they were asked to fill in at an Open Stage performance at BRAS when Ron suggested adding Heidi with whom he had played in Finn MacCool, and Steve and Kent knew from Sunday Sessions, and we decided to officially make ourselves into a band. In March 2003, Kent left the band and
Kari Wilson joined. Kari previously sang and played bodhran with Finn MacCool. Kari plays bodhran and flute. Her strong vocals opened the door for beautiful harmonies, allowing Ceol Céilí to interweave the traditional Irish instrumental dance music with Ireland’s favorite ballads. In June 2009, Ron left the band and Roy Jackson joined in as fiddler. In August 2011 Heidi decided to step back a while. Ceol Ceili then "proposed" to Cyndi Fallon. Now with the combination of two fiddles, two whistles, two bouzoukis and four vocalists the band is sailing in uncharted waters discovering a whole new and dynamic sound.

Panther Pride Athletic Boosters will be selling hamburgers, snacks and drinks. No dogs, smoking or alcoholic beverages will be allowed on the field.
The Ute Pass Symphony Guild has, for over 33 years, worked hard to achieve one goal - to bring high quality music to the people of the Ute Pass Region, both through our very popular and well known Symphony Above the Clouds and our less well known program that provides funds for the 4th grade children throughout Teller County to attend the annual Children's Concert performed by the Colorado Springs Philharmonic at the Pikes Peak Center. We work throughout the year to raise the significant amount of money necessary to carry out this goal and are so very grateful to all the private and corporate donors, as well as the Teller County Board of County Commissioners and the City of Woodland Park. And we simply could not begin to complete the task of staging Symphony Above the Clouds without the City of Woodland Park and Park State Bank. For most of these 33 years our partner for Symphony Above the Clouds has been the Colorado Springs Philharmonic Orchestra. They have performed so magnificently even when the weather has been less than perfect. It is their willingness to step up and go that extra mile for us that makes them such a wonderful partner in this event. I'm sure last year's Waldo Canyon Fire remains firmly in everyone's mind. The orchestra performed only shortly after the highway opened and evacuations were lifted - but while the air was still fairly thick with smoke. So, thank you to everyone who makes this evening possible - the orchestra, all the community volunteers, the board of the Ute Pass Symphony Guild, the City of Woodland Park and most especially our fabulous sponsors.

In tornado country, what goes around comes around DIA twister is reminder of Colorado weather patterns By Kevin Vaughan and Burt Hubbard I-News Network
The tornado sighting that set off alarms and frightened passengers at Denver International Airport on June 18 was a startling reminder that Colorado is indeed twister country. Since 1950, only six other states have experienced more tornadoes than the 1,948 documented here, an I-News examination of federal weather data found. And two of the state’s fastest-growing counties — Weld and Adams, which surrounds DIA — had the most tornadoes during that 63-year span. Combined, they accounted for 410 tornadoes, more than one of every five. In addition, the Weld County town of Windsor experienced the most destructive twister in state history. And then there’s the airport sitting on the high plains 25 miles from downtown Denver. On an average day, DIA sees about 145,000 passengers, and at any given time as many as 20,000 people may be in the terminal and concourses. Officials there are keenly aware that the airport could become a tornado bull’s-eye at any given time. Two separate tabletop exercises conducted earlier this year for just such an eventuality became showtime reality June 18. “We followed protocol and everything went very smoothly,” Laura Coale, director of media relations at DIA, said June 19. There were no reported injuries, damage or calls for paramedics, she said. The tornado was preliminarily rated an EF1 by the National Weather Service, and touched down between two runways on the airport’s east side.
DIA has safe spaces
Even in practice scenarios that assumed backedup traffic at DIA with larger passenger loads, the airport has a safe place for everyone. In addition to the bathrooms and stairwells, the airport can evacuate people to the underground baggage tunnels if necessary, officials have said. On May 8, 1975 — long before DIA was even conceived — an F3 tornado touched down near 56th Avenue and Picadilly Road and tracked to the northeast. It was on the ground for four miles and was a quarter-mile wide. Back then, the area was farmland, and the twister did no damage. But if that historic tornado had been the one to hit June 18, it could have been a different story. That tornado’s track went directly across present-day Pena Boulevard, across a runway and into the west-side parking lot next to the main terminal. While it’s true that tornadoes are much more common in Colorado than one might realize, it’s equally true that they are not likely to pack the power of those
that hit farther east — such as the destructive and deadly twisters that ravaged parts of Oklahoma in May. “They certainly do occur in Colorado,” said Josh Wurman, of the Center for Severe Weather Research in Boulder. “Sometimes they can be quite major — there have been famous tornadoes, like the Limon tornado and the Windsor tornado, which have caused a lot of damage. There probably have been a lot of tornadoes capable of causing F4-, F5-type damage that just have churned through open rangeland, and prior to recent decades not have even been reported at all, even as a tornado.”
State racks up twisters
An I-News examination of data since 1950 kept by the National Weather Service showed that Colorado experiences frequent if not always powerful tornadoes: • Five of the 10 counties with the most tornadoes were along the Front Range. In addition to Weld and Adams, they included El Paso, Arapahoe and Elbert counties. • Despite their frequency, tornadoes have killed only five people in Colorado since 1950 — two people near Holyoke in 1960, two people in Holly in 2007, and one person in Windsor in 2008. • A total of 283 residents have been injured by 53 tornadoes since 1950. More than 40 percent of the injuries came from two tornadoes — the Windsor tornado, which injured 78, and one in Thornton in 1981, which injured 42. • The greatest concentration of tornadoes took place in the four-year time period from 1990 to 1993, spawning 283 twisters — or about one of every seven recorded since 1950. However, recordkeeping in the 1950s and 1960s may have undercounted tornados. The national database shows only one tornado taking place in 1959 and only two each in 1950 and 1964. • At least 10 tornadoes have caused $1 million or more in damage. Beginning in 1971, tornadoes in the United States were categorized on what was known as the Fujita Scale, a six-step ranking — from F0, the weakest, to F5, the strongest. The different categories accounted for potential for damage inflicted by a particular tornado. In 2007, the Enhanced Fujita Scale was adopted, which updated the rating system to include a specific range of wind speed for each category of tornadoes. The new system ranked tornadoes from EF0, the weakest, to EF5, the most powerful.
Few powerful tornadoes
Since 1950, a tornado rated either F5 or EF5 has never been recorded in Colorado. Only one twister was rated as either F4 or EF4 — a twister in 1977 in Baca County — and 21 were categorized as either F3 or EF3. The rest were less powerful — 111 that were F2 or EF2; 531 that were F1 or EF1; and 1,229 that were F0 or EF0, including a small but dramatic tornado that
An aerial view on May 23, 2008, shows parts of Windsor, Colo., which was hit by a massive tornado early the day before. The storm killed a man and damaged or destroyed at least 100 homes. File photo startled motorists at nearly 12,000 feet on Mount Evans road last July 28. An additional 55 of the state’s tornadoes were listed as “unknown.” “The good news is that the vast majority of our tornadoes are weak — EF0, EF1 — so those winds go up to maybe 130 mph or so, and those tornadoes don’t cause a lot of damage,” said Bob Glancy, the warning coordination meteorologist at the National Weather Service’s Boulder office. Two EF5 twisters that hit the Oklahoma City area in late May took more than 30 lives and injured nearly 500 people — one in the town of Moore, and one near the town of El Reno that took the lives of two wellrespected Colorado storm chasers. At one point that twister was 2.6 miles across — the widest ever recorded. Those tornadoes were part of large, rotating storms known as supercells
— which are much more common as you move east out of Colorado. Although they can occur here, they are less likely, in part because the moisture flowing north from the Gulf of Mexico doesn’t often reach Colorado. But that doesn’t mean there can’t be big trouble here.
Windsor storm unusual
“Nothing’s impossible in meteorology, and the Windsor storm is an example,” Glancy said. That tornado, which touched down about 11:30 a.m. on May 22, 2008, was rated an EF3 and it was unusual in many respects — it hit before noon, it was a mile wide, it was on the ground for 38 miles, and it traveled from the southeast to the northwest. It also killed one person, injured 78 others and inflicted $147 million in property damage, making it the
most destructive tornado in state history. “It wasn’t an EF5, but that’s an example of what could happen here,” Glancy said. The I-News analysis also found that other historic twisters that in decades past hit harmlessly in open land could have different consequences if they struck the same places today. On May 20, 1961, for example, a twister hit open land just outside Castle Rock where the Douglas County Courthouse stands today, and on July 19, 1985, another touched down on land where Lone Tree’s Sky Ridge Medical Center is now located. While there’s no way to predict the future, it’s inevitable that the state will experience more tornadoes. Still, Wurman, the Boulder-based weather researcher, said he’d advise people to be aware but also not overreact. There’s no
reason to dig a hole in the backyard and construct a tornado shelter, he said. “If I were going to list ways to spend your money to stay safe, I would list getting a new car with better air bags higher than building a tornado shelter, because that’s more likely to save your life than a tornado shelter,” he said. And he brings the perspective of having been close to twisters many times — including in May outside El Reno, when his team turned away from the tornadoes that ultimately claimed nine lives, including those of Colorado storm chasers Tim Samaras and his son, Paul. “We don’t know exactly what they did that day,” Wurman said of his fellow storm scientists. “There’s always a tension between being ambitious and going in and being safer and staying away. Tim has a reputation of being a reasonable guy. We don’t know what happened.” Still, he said, “A tornado is pretty unlikely to be your cause of death, whether or not you live in Colorado, or in Oklahoma and Kansas, because the number of people killed every year in tornadoes, typically, is less than 100. “People shouldn’t live in fear of tornadoes.” I-News is the public service journalism arm of Rocky Mountain PBS.

Color you can see from the air 1968 Ford Galaxie survives the Black Forest Fire By Rob carrigan
rcarrigan@ourcoloradonews.com Out there among the charred tree trunks, wreckage, incinerated dreams, ash-strewn memories, dust, and heartbreaking despair — I noticed some color. Bright orange red color. Ben Robinett, with his green jeans stained black, from days sifting around in the ash of what used be his home, the owner of that color had been looking for his car keys. He waved us over when we noticed the bright spot, during a media tour Friday, June 21. Black everywhere, but here, more than little bit of bright orange red. Robinett, a Fort Carson firefighter by trade, says it is color he has been told that you can see from the air. The color takes the form of a 1968 Ford Galaxie. “I have had it for about a year and a half. worked on it constantly. My dad was an auto mechanic, and I love to work on it for old times sake. Painted it (even inside the engine compartment, ) shined it up. It was about three quarters done. I know all about it. I was the fourth owner.” And that bright orange red was for a reason. “We called it ‘Birdy.’ I am a big St. Louis Cardinals fan.” Robinett was off shift when he learned the fire was burning and he and his family needed to evacuate. “Needed to get my six-year-old out of here. I had a trailer right over there and thought I might need it for a place to stay, and my 16-year-old drove her car out.” So, it was bye-bye Birdy, he thought. He had to leave it in the forest, in the minimal protection of the little hut. He expected to loose everything he had left behind. But today he is talking with the tow company, and despite looking through what are now the ashes of his house, he hasn’t found his car keys. It melted the gun safes, everything. The cover of the building is gone. And there is a little blistering of the paint on the passenger-side flank of the Galaxie.

The five-gallon buckets nearby, are melted through. All-in-all however, good shape. The paint is burnt off the license plate in back, but hardly any damage to the car itself. What a wonderful spot of color she is? Bright Orange Red. Cardinal Color. A bright spot, among the shades of gray and black.
Fire is fickle. ‘Birdy,’ this 1968 Ford Galaxy painted Cardinal red, survived in one of the hardest-hit areas of the Black Forest Fire burn area.

Bike Rodeo offers challenges
By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews.com A carnival of children and bikes, the annual Bike Rodeo at Meadow Wood Park June 19 brought out the competitive nature of kids, especially those on bicycles. From tiny tots on the pedal-less wood bicycles to older children up to 11 years old, the rodeo offers challenges that test the cyclists’ abilities, from riding a straight line to maneuvering a series of cones. “The event is about teaching kids to be safe,” said Chris Mirabella, who with his wife Erin, of Teller County Chiroprac-
tic, sponsors the event. The rodeo is specifically geared toward children in Teller County. “So many kids live on dirt roads they don’t have a chance to practice riding their bikes on pavement,” said Erin Mirabella. “We have an army of volunteers who help us with this event.” Paul Magnuson, of Team Telecyle in Woodland Park, offers free safety checkups for bicycles entered in the rodeo. To maintain the safety theme, the Mirabellas sell helmets for $4. The rodeo is supported by several local businesses.
Look Ma, no training wheels. Max and Sully Street, 4 and 2, respectively, enjoy bike riding on their new Strider wood bicycles. The two were at the 4th annual Bike Rodeo June 19 at Meadow Wood Park in Woodland Park. The event is sponsored by Erin and Chris Mirabella of Teller County Chiropractic.
Five-year-old twins Cody and Kenzie Kuyes practice their riding with a number of course challenges at the annual Bike Rodeo sponsored by Teller County Chiropractic.

Woman puts face on struggle to succeed Self-sufficiency is goal for student mom By Jim Trotter I-News
Jennine Jeffries is a woman with an engaging smile, a firm handshake and an articulate yet unvarnished way of telling her own story: broken and abusive childhood home, a frequent runaway and juvenile delinquent, alcohol and drug addictions as she became a popular bartender, a stint in jail. But her story doesn’t stop there. With determination and hard work, with help from those who believe in her, with an unfading desire to be something more for her own four children, she has pulled her life back on course. She’s carrying a shiny 3.97 grade point average at Metropolitan State University of Denver, with graduation set for next spring. Her 19-year-old son has made that possible in part by caring at home for her 4-year-old twins. She wants him to have a chance at education next. Jeffries has worked for Metro’s Institute for Women’s Studies and Services, and is now an intern at Project Wise, a Denverbased agency that offers counseling and other services to women. She knows who she is and what she wants to be. “Given the pain I have put my family through, given the pain I have put myself through, given the struggles I have been through, I want a career where I can help those who are like me, women in transi-
tion, women who feel that maybe they’re not worthy, or that they have no hope,” said Jeffries, 39. “I want to make a difference in people’s lives.” As she prepares for that day to arrive, making the long bus ride each day into Denver from her Section 8 apartment in Englewood, working low-wage jobs, volunteering, keeping up with her family life and her studies, she worries about how she will do it. Can she possibly make, as a new college graduate, the $40,000 or more it will take for her family to minimally survive the loss of the work support benefits she receives — housing assistance, food stamps and Medicaid? “I’m terrified that once I graduate I won’t be self-sufficient,” she said, but there’s no turning back now. “What do I next? I want to be the hell off assistance.” For more information about the cliff effect, go to inewsnetwork.org.

INEWS105 - Rachel Contizano, 32, works on a research paper in her apartment in Aurora, Colo., on Tuesday, May 28, 2013. Contizano, a single mother who lost her job in 2009, receives work support and public assistance, recently graduated magna cum laude from Colorado Women’s College at the University of Denver. She has calculated she needs to earn about $43,000 to make up for the loss of food stamps, child care assistance for her four-year-old son, Medicaid and rental subsidies she receives.

‘Cliff effect’ looms for achiever Magna cum laude grad in `really scary’ situation By Jim Trotter I-News
Rachel Contizano, a Denver native, moved to New York and finished community college there with highest distinction. She was employed by an apparel manufacturer, living independently in New York City, just as she wanted. Then she went on maternity leave before Christmas in 2009 and was soon notified that her job had been eliminated. She applied for unemployment benefits and received them for the full 99 weeks allowed, her job search fruitless month after month. “I got up the courage that I needed to move back home,” she said of those dark days. “It was just getting too difficult to survive.” Surviving didn’t turn out to be a picnic back in Colorado, even though her family helped. As she began to apply for work support benefits for herself and her son, Kingston, to try to get back on her feet, she encountered what she described as a very difficult process with Denver Human Services.
“I did everything I was supposed to do. I followed all the rules,” she said. “If I did what I was responsible for, then they were responsible to help me. And that wasn’t the case.” She determined that she needed to learn more about advocating for herself. Her eventual mastery of work support benefit rules led to her appointment to the Denver Welfare Reform Board. She was named a “Woman to Watch” by the League of Women Voters. She just graduated magna cum laude from the Colorado Women’s College at the University of Denver with a degree in business administration. Now 32, she wants a career in public policy to help others. She dreams of running for public office. But first there is a matter of finding a job. She has calculated she needs to earn about $43,000 to make up for the loss of food stamps, child care assistance for her son, now 4, Medicaid and rental subsidies she receives. Even for all of her accomplishments, avoiding the cliff effect is daunting. “It’s very hard to find a job in 30 days, something that is going to keep my head above water,” she said. “So that is something I’m really struggling with right now and that is really scary.” To learn more about the cliff effect go to inewsnetwork.org.

Pikes Peak International Hill Climb Has a Rich History The second oldest road race in America dates to 1916 By Danny Summers
Jdsummers30@gmail.com CASCADE - Blistering practice times by some of the world’s top drivers have people wondering if the elusive nine-minute barrier might be smashed at this Sunday’s Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. That was hardly the case on Aug. 12, 1901, when two Denver men named Yonk and Felker drove - and occasionally pushed - the first automobile to the summit of the 14,110-foot peak. It took them more than nine hours to get their two-cylinder “locomobile steamer” to the top. The horseless carriage descended the mountain in an August blizzard. About a quarter century earlier, a primitive road led to the top of the peak, where a weather station had been established. As more and more people became enamored with the majestic mountain, it didn’t take long for adventurists to contemplate the idea of driving an automobile to the top. In 1915, local financier Spencer Penrose - of Broadmoor fame - spent $263,000 to rebuild the road for automobile travel. The “World’s Highest Highway” featured 156 perilous turns, 10 percent grades and up to 2,000-foot drop offs with no guard rails. A year later, Penrose started the Pikes Peak National Hill Climbing Contest as a way to advertise the 12.42-mile Pikes Peak Highway, and to encourage growth of the burgeoning automobile tourism industry in Colorado Springs. Two of the more interesting stories in Hill Climb history occurred in the first few races when Rea Lentz and Noel Bullock turned more than a few heads. Organizers of America’s second oldest automobile road race (the Indianapolis 500 was born in 1911) had pretty lofty expectations from the very first event in 1916. Many of the cars were archaic by today’s standards, and from the beginning, fans and top drivers showed enthusiasm. Thousands of spectators gathered to watch the first running Aug. 10-12, 1916. Among the notable entrants in that inaugural event were Indianapolis 500 speed demon Barney Oldfield, who drove a big Delage, and Eddie Rickenbacker, later to become famous as a World War I flying ace. Duisenberg automobiles were driven, as were Cadillacs, Hudsons and a Stutz. Entry fees were $25 to $50, depending on the event. Entry fees today are around $1,500. First Prizes for that inaugural event ranged from $500 to $2,000 cash, again depending upon which event the driver entered. To further encourage competition Penrose offered a 43-inch trophy, overlaid in Colorado silver and gold, valued at $10,000. The winners could keep the trophy for a year.

Cottrell Has a New Football Coaching Gig Former Woodland Park coach takes over at Widefield By Danny Summers
Jdsummers30@gmail.com WOODLAND PARK - Brent Cottrell was planning on returning to Woodland Park High School this fall to continue his duties as a physical education instructor, as well as golf and track coach. Those plans changed, however, when the head football coaching position at Widefield became available. Cottrell, who coached the Woodland Park football team for four seasons, interviewed for the Widefield job earlier this
month and was hired shortly thereafter, ending his tenure of six years at Woodland Park. “I was totally committed to Woodland Park, but I’m a football coach,” Cottrell said. “Time away was very good for me. My life was out of balance and I needed to get some things in balance. I put things in perspective.” Cottrell, 50, conceded that he had been on the lookout for an administrative position in recent years, but was content to stay at Woodland Park in his current roles. That all changed after he received a telephone call from Widefield boys basketball coach Brent Garretson - a long-time friend and Woodland Park resident. “Coach Garretson told me `You need to do this,’” Cottrell said. Cottrell takes over a Widefield team that was 3-7 last season, 3-4 in the Class 4A
Foothills League. Widefield had won 17 of its previous 22 games. “Widefield has a lot of similarities to another school I was at in Alabama; good speed and a blue-collar work ethic that I associate with,” Cottrell said. “I’m really looking forward to working with these kids.” Cottrell, who lives in the Cheyenne Mountain area of Colorado Springs, coached Woodland Park from 2007 through 2010, compiling a 13-27 record, but just 3-17 over his final two seasons. Prior to coaching at Woodland Park, Cottrell was the head coach at Cheyenne Mountain for three seasons. He has more than 25 years of head coaching experience in Colorado, Alabama and Kansas. Cottrell was an assistant coach with the Panthers’ track and field program and worked tirelessly to build a strong throws
program at Woodland Park. Three of his pupils advanced to last spring’s state meet - Hannah Erickson (discus and shot put), Hayden Erickson (shot put) and Cody Westfall (discus). “The cupboard is not bare,” Cottrell said. “I had some great throwers coming back.” Hayden Erickson finished ninth at the state meet and will be the leader of the throwers this season. Other top returning throwers include Randy Westfall, Holly Erickson, Kelsey Arseneau, Grady Thayer, Karolyn Jones, Michelle Cruse and Thomas Doering. “Coach Cottrell recruited a lot of kids,” said Woodland Park head track coach Ron Payton. “He had as many as 22-23 throwers. “He knew a lot about throws. He was a real technical coach. He did a lot of research. He was real good at seeing what you needed to do.”

A Birthday Celebration to Remember Angels, Dodgers and Disneyland help make southern California a great adventure By Danny Summers ANAHEIM, Calif. – The older I get, the less meaningful birthdays seem to be. But since I was on the verge of turning 50 I decided to try and create a special memory of what would be my 18,263rd day alive on earth. Having lived in Colorado for 12 years, I have fallen in love with much of what the state has to offer. Not a day goes by when I am not thankful for my many wonderful friends and abundance of natural beauty. But being originally from southern California, I grew up partaking in numerous adventures in a state that seems to offer endless possibilities. So when planning my 50th, I looked west. The actual day of my birthday, June 5, had a lot of historical significance. It was the original date of D-Day (moved to June 6, 1944, due to inclement weather). It was also on June 5, 1963 (my actual birth date) that President John F. Kennedy delivered the graduation speech at the Air Force Academy. Five years later, on June 6, Kennedy’s younger brother, Bobby, was assassinated after delivering a speech at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. Being a baseball nut and Disneyland enthusiast, I decided to try and combine the two great outings for my birthday celebration. I pulled it off with the help of my 19-year-old son, Garrison – a sophomore at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs – who made the trek with me with me to California. Rarely do the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and Los Angeles Dodgers play home on the same day. It just so happened that they did on my birthday. The Angels hosted the the Chicago Cubs in a 4 p.m. start in Orange County, while the Dodgers hosted the San Diego Padres in a 7:10 affair at Chavez Ravine. I figured if I could pull of this rare doubleheader, I should easily be able to hit Disneyland the next day – as long as my body held up. And so the planning began.
ANGELS-DODGERS
Garrison’s girlfriend, Julia, joined us for the day’s events. She is a fan of the Angels and Dodgers, so her enthusiasm was much appreciated. We arrived at Angel Stadium around 3 p.m. Game time temperature was 83 degrees with an ocean breeze coming from the south. The Angels jumped out to an early lead on Cubs right-hander Matt Garza. It was fueled by a Howard Kendrick home run. The Cubs roared back and took a 5-4 lead after six innings. In the top of the seventh I made the call for Garrison and I to head to the car and
start making our way to Los Angeles. We hated to leave the Angels game without seeing it through to completion, but that was the only way we would be able to see most of the Dodgers game. Angel Stadium and Dodger Stadium are separated by about 35 miles. To our delight, Interstate 5 was wide open and we made it to Dodger Stadium in 40 minutes. We were anticipating the drive taking up to 75 minutes, so we were very fired. Dodger Stadium sits on a hill and you have to drive though Elysian Park to get there. Once you make to the top, the stadium jumps out at you like a castle on a hill. We made our way inside the ball park by the bottom of the second inning. The Padres mounted a 2-0 lead and went on to win 6-2. The game was even more exciting for because of the two broadcasting legends (my all-time favorites) calling the action for their respective teams; Vin Scully for the Dodgers and Dick Enberg for the Padres. We worked our way around the ball park to get a nice photo of the two calling the game from their broadcast booths.
DISNEYLAND
I first remember attending Disneyland in the late 1960s. In those days there was no Space Mountain, Star Tours, Thunder Mountain or Indiana Jones. The park has forever had that magical quality that only Disneyland offers, with rides like It’s a Small World, Jungle Cruise and ,of course, Pirates of the Caribbean. I know I am not alone when I say that Pirates is the greatest ride of all-time – at any amusement park – on the face of the earth. And for those who need clarity, the ride was around long before the popular Johnny Depp movies came into existence. Because California Adventure now exists where the old Disneyland parking lot once was, you now must park a mile or so away and shuttle to the parks. The shuttles run all day until 1 a.m., so there is hardly a wait. Upon reaching the front gates, I was given a “Happy Birthday” Disneyland button to wear with my name on it. I was told that park employees would greet me with a “”Happy Birthday, Danny.” And for the next 12 hours I was made to feel like a VIP. For those who have passed through the front gates at Disneyland, there’s nothing quite like a look down Main Street. The first thing my son and I did was find a locker to stash our home-made sandwiches, snacks, jackets and other items needed for the day. Next up: Tomorrowland. Disneyland implemented a “fast-pass” system years ago that allows patrons to get a ticket to return to a ride later in the day – avoiding what could be waits up to an hour or more. We grabbed a fast-pass ticket for Space Mountain and then headed over to Star Tours. Star Tours has been modernized in recent years and is absolutely delightful. Riders are in a simulator and wear 3-D glasses to get the full effect. The 20-minute wait to board the star ship was well worth the time

Me and my son , Garrison, at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers hosted the San Diego Padres. Photos by Danny Summers spent in line. We then headed over to New Orleans Square to experience Pirates of the Caribbean and the Haunted Mansion. They are located near each other overlooking the Rivers of America and its large vessels and canoes, as well as a splendid look at Tom Sawyer’s Island. Pirates used to be one of the longer waits in the park, sometimes taking more than 90 minutes to board a boat. But with the Fast Pass system (Pirates is not part of the system), all the rides in the park flow more smoothly. There is really no description of Pirates that does the ride justice. One has to experience it and breathe in the atmosphere. It feels like you are in another world – an enchanted state of being – that you never want to have end. A quick stroll over to Haunted Mansion began with a ghostly walk up to the front doors. Once inside, the adventure continued; again leaving you with a feeling of wonder and awe. I don’t think it is possible to experience the Haunted Mansion and not leave with a smile on your face. From there, we strolled over to Fantasyland in an attempt to ride the Matterhorn. The wait was about 40 minutes, so we decided to knock out some other rides and then do the Matterhorn after the sun went down. We tried to do the Tea Cups (I still say I can spin faster than anybody), but while we were in line the ride was shut down temporarily due to mechanical failures. So we headed to Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride for one heck of an adventure. From there, it was a mad flurry until dinner time. We enjoyed It’s a Small World, got our Fast Pass for Indiana Jones, road the Mark Twain Riverboat around Tom Sawyer Island, hustled over to Space Mountain for an exhilarating adventure, and checked out the Ironman display at Innoventions. We packed our sandwiches for dinner and ate them on a park bench looking down Main Street. While we were eating, Mickey and Minnie Mouse posed near us for photos with park guests. Pluto was off in the distance doing his thing. After dinner we decided to head over to California Adventure. This park opened in 2001 and is actually larger than Disneyland. Much of the park is dedicated to eating places and souvenir shops, but there are some awesome rides. We headed to Paradise Park and rode
California Screamin’. We only had to wait in line for 15 minutes. The ride features a revolution. We then worked our way over to Condor Flats to ride Soarin’ Over California. It is a simulated ride that takes you to many of California’s most amazingly beautiful destinations. Regretfully, we were not able to ride the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror in Hollywood Land. The wait for that ride was 70 minutes, so we headed back to Disneyland for the next couple of hours before the park closed at midnight. Disneyland really comes alive – even more – when the sun goes down. The parades are amazing and the shows seem that much more exciting. We worked our way back to New Orleans Square where we watched Fantasmic. It is a larger-thanlife musical spectacular featuring Mickey Mouse in a battle of good vs. evil. This show is a must-see. We made a quick jaunt over to Adventureland where we used our Fast Passes to ride Indiana Jones. Then we sprinted over to Space Mountain to get another Fast Pass and back over to Fantasyland to ride the Matterhorn. This time the wait was only 15 minutes. We were in need of fuel for our bodies, so we ventured over to Main Street and purchased a couple of awesome ice cream cones and enjoyed them while watching a parade. The last 90 minutes of our adventure was spent back at Pirates and Haunted Mansion, a quick ride down Splash Mountain in Critter Country and back over for a final ride of the day on Space Mountain, which ended at about 11:50 p.m. Unfortunately, many of the favorite things I enjoy in Disneyland had to be sacrificed due to time; things like Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln, Enchanted Tiki Room, Monorail and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad (which was closed the day we went). When my son was younger, we spent a lot of time in Fantasyland, which really is a dream come true for kids of all ages. All in all, I have no regrets of how I spent my 50th birthday celebration. Included in the four-days in California were wonderful times with my 69-year-old mother, Ruth, as well as moments with friends and revisiting old memories from my past. I don’t see my 51st birthday celebration being quite as extravagant, but then again, you never know.

Donkey Derby days famously features fun Games, live entertainment, heritage competition and more Special to the Courier
rcarrigan@ourcoloradonews.com Now in its 82nd year, June 29 and 30, Donkey Derby Days tops the list of favorite Cripple Creek events. People from all over the world descend on town, drawn by a chance to watch a race inspired by the town’s resident donkey herd, believed to be distant relatives of the original donkeys from the town’s Gold Rush days. Travelers to the district may enjoy games, live entertainment, heritage competitions and other fun family activities that will make your visit one to remember. The origins of this popular Colorado donkey festival date back to the 1930s, when local businessman Charley Lehew thought a Cripple Creek festival would attract people in the summer months. It wasn’t long before he and two business partners settled on donkey racing. Together, they built a race track, solicited advertising and arranged concessions and entertainment in time for the first-ever Donkey Derby Days festival. Today, this two-day jamboree is one of the most popular of all the Cripple Creek events held throughout the year, and admission to this exciting Cripple Creek festival is 100% free! The donkey races aren’t the only things going on this weekend, however. Visit street vendors, enjoy our live entertainment and participate in a host of other family activities such as our heritage competitions or our activities for the children, Don’t forget Fido - as derby days also feature a dog show where your best friend can compete for prizes.
Donkey races aren’t the only things going on at the 82nd annual Donkey Derby Days. Street vendors, live entertainment and a host of other family events, such as our heritage competitions are just some of activities scheduled for two-day celebration. Photo by Rob Carrigan
