Building department ready to go

By Norma Engelberg Contributing writer

Effective Nov. 30, Teller County will no longer provide building services for Woodland Park. That revelation, from the county commissions a couple of months ago left the city with the task of creating a building department of its own. In those two months, City Planning Director Sally Riley and her staff in the Woodland Park Planning Department have done just that through an agreement with Pikes Peak Regional Building Department, joining seven other communities that use their services: unincorporated El Paso County, Colorado Springs, Manitou Springs, Green Mountain Falls, Fountain, Palmer Park and Monument.

As one of its last steps toward setting up the department, at its Nov. 7 council meeting Woodland

Park City Council approved an intergovernmental agreement between the city and the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department.

The city will provide office space and equipment and one half-time permit technician. All operating costs, including the half-time employee’s salary, will be paid through building permit and inspection fees. Pikes Peak Regional Building will operate the department and provide two inspectors, who will be on hand in Woodland Park four hours a day five days a week, to start.

“If construction picks up and we need more inspectors and longer hours, we’ll add them,” said Pikes Peak Regional Building Official Henry Yankowski.

As part of the agreement, Woodland Park will establish a board of appeals to handle building and construction questions.

Regional building will provide le-

gal counsel for the appeals board.

The city will also set fees for commercial and residential building permits and adopt, with a few minor modifications, the 2011 Pikes Peak Regional Building Code, the 2009 International Building Code and several other building codes.

“The codes are structured such that we can avoid most appeals; modifications are allowed at times,” Yankowski said. “Some of the fees will be higher than Colorado Springs’ fees but lower than Teller County’s.”

The council approved, on first reading, the ordinance adopting the new codes and creating the board of appeals and set Nov. 21 for the public hearing. The resolution setting fees was handed out at the Nov. 7 meeting for the council to look over before making a final decision, also at that Nov. 21 meeting. If the ordinance and fee structure are approved at that time,

When asked why the city will also retain its board of adjustment,

Riley explained that the board of adjustment only deals with zoning questions while the new board of appeals deals only with construction and building-code issues.

WPPD officer helps solve cold case Police chief accepts severance package

Teller County sues city to reverse recent annexation

By Norma Engelberg Contributing writer

In 1993 in Suffolk County, United Kingdom, an armored car guard took off with £1.2 million (about $1.9 million in today’s dollars) and disappeared. Last year Suffolk County Constabulary followed a lead the put the thief in Teller County and called the Woodland Park Police Department for help.

The case was assigned to Officer Nikki Tezak, who discovered that the man bought a home near Woodland Park, paying for it with cash from a Swiss Bank account.

That information and some other tidbits lead the two constables she was working with to arrest the culprit, who plead guilty in Crown Court in 2012. For her work in solving this 19-year-old international cold case, Tezak was presented with a plaque by Woodland Park Police Chief Robert Larson at the Nov. 7 Woodland Park City Council meeting.

For the first time in more than a month, Mayor Dave Turley was back in his place on the council. He is recovering from a motorcycle crash that happened in early October.

He gave his thanks to the Woodland Park community for its support during his surgery and recuperation.

“This community is a wonderful place,” he said, commenting on all the prayers and thoughts that went out to him, the get-well cards from Woodland Park students, multiple visits by his “baseball kids,” the Pikes Peak Regional Hospital where he was stabilized after the crash and the hard work of a Colorado Springs surgeon who, he said, saved his life.

One the first orders of business after Turley picked up the gavel was the approval of an intergovernmental agreement between the city and the Woodland Park RE-2 School District for assigning a second school resource (police) officer to the district. In 2014, the city will pay the full operating costs for both officers, with the district agreeing to pay for equipping and POSTAL ADDRESS

Photo by Norma Engelberg training the second officer. By 2017, 80 percent of the operating costs for the second officer will be paid by the school district with the city paying the rest. The city will continue to fund operational costs for the first officer.

The newly elected RE-2 Board of Education will have to ratify the agreement at its next school board meeting before it will become effective.

Before the meeting, the council met with City Attorney Erin Smith to discuss a lawsuit filed by Teller County in district court. The county wants the city to reverse the Southwest Valley Annexation decision it approved in late August. The annexed property is proposed as a new Teller County Waste facility. County officials tried to appeal council’s decision directly but submitted that appeal after the deadline.

During the regular meeting, a scheduled ordinance hearing on the facility was

tabled to the Jan. 16 council meeting at the request of Teller County Waste owner Jay Baker and Erin Smith was directed by council to defend the city’s decision in the lawsuit.

The council also decided not to set a work session to go over plans for Memorial Park. Members agreed that they have enough information to make a decision on the two park-renovation plans submitted last month by Land Patterns Inc. The city’s Parks and Recreation Advisory Board submitted a letter to support the plan that doesn’t set aside space for an aquatic center in the northwest corner of the park. The letter states that preserving green space in the park is a top priority and that the aquatic center has other options.

Woodland Park Economic Development Director Brian Fleer, also executive director for the Woodland Park Downtown Development Authority, updated council on various projects, including Woodland Hardware’s plan to have a grand opening in mid February and groundbreaking for Trail Ridge Apartments on Nov. 13.

He also talked about the holiday season Printed on recycled newsprint. Please that has already started in the city. In conrecycle this copy. junction with the Woodland Park Chamber of Commerce, 5,000 “Elevate and Celebrate the Season” brochures have been mailed to Officer continues on Page 4

Green Mountain Falls Police Chief Tim Bradley has accepted a severance package of $12,000 to leave his post as the town’s chief law enforcement officer. As a result, Bradley submitted a letter of resignation on Nov. 7.

Bradley was not fired, said Howard Price, the town’s liaison to the department. “Tim has done a good job,” Price said. “But we are redesigning the marshal’s office.”

The redesign is the result of Price’s initiation of a pending agreement with El Paso County Sheriff Terry Maketa to open a substation in Green Mountain Falls. If the agreement is accepted by El Paso County, the sheriff’s law-enforcement officers will patrol the area from Crystola to the first exit to Manitou Springs. The deputies will also investigate crimes and provide prosecutions for criminal activity.

“With a substation in town the deputies can respond faster to calls in our area,” Price said at the board meeting on Nov. 5.

In a town patrolled by a marshal for the past century, Bradley’s farewell is monumental, and the ushering in of a new era in Green Mountain Falls.

Bradley incurred public censure by Price for patrolling U.S. 24 rather than remaining exclusively in town. While Bradley won high praise from vocal citizens, others were enraged about the number of speeding tickets he has issued.

Bradley was also recognized by the town’s school children for his morning patrols on Ute Pass Avenue near the elementary school.

In the afternoon of Nov. 8, the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office issued a release stating that, effective that day, the office will assume all law-enforcement duties and responsibilities for the town.

Public hearing set for Dec. 3

By Pat Hill

phill@ourcoloradonews.com Town manager or not in Green Mountain Falls? After weeks of talk and presentations, the board of trustees set Dec. 3 for a public hearing on the issue.

Mayor Pro Tem Jane Newberry presented a draft ordinance to Mayor Lorrie Worthey and the board of trustees Nov. 5. The ordinance establishes the position and lays out the responsibilities of the manager. “The board would appoint the town manager by a majority vote,” Newberry said.

While the board approved the motion for the public hearing, trustee Tyler Stevens was not in agreement. “I will not be supporting the motion,” he said. “I think it’s premature; I’m very interested in the subject but I do not see the urgency. Our due diligence is clearly not the best.”

Newberry disagreed. “We’ve talked about

Worthey’s letter

Editor’s note: Green Mountain Falls Mayor Lorrie Worthey released a letter she wrote to the board of trustees Nov. 5. See an additional letter from Worthey on Page 7.

To the board of trustees, Once again we find ourselves on the verge of making some very important decisions — decisions that will impact our community long after you and I have served as elected officials. The three decisions that rest in our hands should not be made quickly without any thought to the longrange consequences. The decision to hire a town manager in our town, if done correctly, takes about six months. To think we can rush into this because it is now budget time and we need to get this in place, is simply irresponsible for us to do. There are things that need to be done prior to hiring a town manager. We must look at our ordinances and change the structure of our government including rewriting our town codes, which currently mention trustees serving as liaisons. We also need to hear from our citizens and give them the opportunity to weigh in on what they want for our town.

If, after proper research, we decide to hire a town manager, we must go about doing that correctly. To place someone in a position without having an open, competitive hiring process could possibly hinder our ability to get funding to help pay for a town manager or receive any help from outside agencies.

There is a structure to doing this that must be followed. To put the cart in front of the

this intensely in the last six weeks, had three experts come up and discuss it,” she said.

“We had a workshop at which time you refused to discuss the goals I had brought for the town manager. But that’s your choice.”

“I will not be supporting this as well. I believe we need to do more research and talk about it more, instead of rushing this through,” Mayor Lorrie Worthey said. At this point, Worthey distributed a copy of a letter starting her views on the subject.

“I feel that by not allowing a discussion (public hearing) of a town ordinance you are not listening to what we talked about for the last several weeks,” Newberry said. “I don’t believe we’re rushing and I think our town will benefit.”

The public hearing is at 7 p.m. on Dec. 3 in the temporary town hall. The discussion will include a proposal to appoint Rob McArthur, the town’s public works director, as the town manager.

horse is not what we were elected to do. We cannot simplify the complicated.

I believe we need to spend these next few months preparing our town for a town manager structure of government. It is not best practice for us to decide who our new town manager is going to be. Think about it for a moment. In April we will have a new board of trustees seated. Three trustees and I are up for re-election or term-limited. Why should we make a decision that, ultimately, the new board should make? The town manager works directly for the board. Our town will suffer if the board and the town manager do not work well together. It is not worth the risk, in my opinion, to make a decision that really isn’t ours to make.

I will not support the decisions to have a town manager or make our public works director our town manager unless we do our due diligence. We must have an open, competitive hiring process and we must be in agreement with one another on what we want from a town manager. What roles and responsibilities will this person have? Let’s lay a good foundation for the new town board. Let’s leave a great legacy, knowing that our commitment to doing this right will affect future generations. If we approach this decision in the above way, I believe we can make tremendous progress for our town. However, if the majority of you choose to do otherwise, I have concerns that these decisions will have devastating consequences on our community for years to come.

Dick Bratton, former four-term mayor who also served as a trustee over the past two decades, reacts to being recognized by trustee Howard Price at the board meeting Nov. 5. Price recommended that the driveway leading up to the new town hall (which is still in the planning/development stage, be named “Bratton Way.” Photos by Pat Hill

Green Mountain Falls’ Mayor Pro Tem Jane Newberry presented a draft ordinance establishing the position and responsibilities of a town manager. In a 5-2 vote, the board approved a motion to hold a public hearing on the issue Dec. 3. Mayor Lorrie Worthey and trustee Tyler Stevens were the two “nays.”

Flood monitoring devices to be set-up Staff report

the following days, about every 10 minutes:

The Colorado Department of Transportation and the U.S. Geological Survey will install rain monitoring equipment in Waldo Canyon next week, which will require several minor traffic stops each day.

A helicopter is required to install the equipment, necessitating quick over-flights of U.S. 24 at the west end of Manitou Springs. Ten trips in and out of the canyon are expected each of

• Tuesday, Nov. 12 from 9 a.m. to noon • Thursday, Nov. 14 from 9 a.m. to noon The helicopter will be stationed on the southeast corner of the Highway 24/Serpentine Drive/Cave of the Winds Road intersection, and that traffic signal will be manually operated, stopping traffic for about 30 seconds each time the helicopter is taking off or landing, allowing it to safely cross the highway

without flying over vehicles.

Installing the video monitoring equipment will provide: • A real time video feed camera, providing CDOT and USGS with the ability to see if a rain event is producing debris flow or just water • A non-contact stage gauge, measuring the depth of flow in Waldo Canyon with radar • An additional rain gauge, bolstering CDOT/USGS’s network of rain gauges in the canyon burn scar area

Woodland Park to host Stage 5 of 2014 USA Pro Cycling Challenge The event is set to come to Woodland Park Aug. 22, 2014

By Danny Summers

Dsummers@ourcoloradonews.com The City of Woodland Park will be a host to the nation’s most prestigious cycling race in 2014 when the USA Pro Cycling Challenge comes to the Pikes Peak region.

Woodland Park will be the starting point of Stage 5 of the seven-stage event that takes place Aug. 18-24.

“This is a great opportunity to showcase the city,” said City of Woodland Park city manager David Buttery. “This is the first time we’ve done a start, so we expect there will be a lot of people come up here from Colorado Springs and other neighboring communities.”

Buttery was the point man for the City in its negotiations with Pro Cycling Challenge organizers.

“Because it takes municipal involvement I got involved,” Buttery said. “But I will quickly be taking a back seat.”

Mike Perini, who owns Woodland Parkbased Perini and Associates, will chair the local organizing committee. His advertising firm will do much of the groundwork required to put on an event of this proportion.

The organizing committee will consist of about a dozen members with specific duties.

Woodland Park had the race pass through the

town in 2011 and 2012 and went to great lengths to make sure the event went off without a hitch while in Teller County.

“We have to get a lot of things in place between now and the time of the race,” Buttery said. “Things like the festival, logistics, hospitality and a VIP tent.”

Buttery estimates there were as many as 5,500 people lined up along Highway 24 when the race came through town in 2012. He believes that many more will make their way up Ute Pass to see the start and then follow the riders to Breckenridge - the ending point for that day’s stage.

Paul Magnuson, owner of Team Telecycle, expects the city to see a huge increase in business in the days leading up to, and after the Woodland Park stage.

“This is going to be huge for the city,” Magnuson said. “Having a start is like being on the national stage. The television cameras will show Pikes Peak and city will get some valuable exposure.”

The Pro Challenge came through Colorado Springs in each of its first two years, 2011 and 2012, but went elsewhere this past August.

The 2014 event will feature its first mountaintop finish with a stage ending atop Monarch Mountain west of Salida. With a base elevation of 10,790 feet, it will be the highest stage in North America.

Race officials unveiled host cities Nov. 4 and are leaving it to fans to determine the final stage route. The host cities and stages are:

Deputy injured in attack

By By Pat Hill

phill@ourcoloradonews.com El Paso County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate the assault on Green Mountain Falls’ deputy, Sgt. Susan Barnes. Barnes is off-duty and receiving workman’s compensation insurance, according to Sgt. Joe Roybal, public information officer with the sheriff’s office.

Stage 1: Monday, Aug. 18 — Aspen Circuit Race.

Stage 2: Tuesday, Aug. 19 — Aspen to Mount Crested Butte.

Stage 3: Wednesday, Aug. 20 — Gunnison to Monarch Mountain.

Stage 4: Thursday, Aug. 21 — Colorado Springs Circuit Race.

Stage 5: Friday, Aug. 22 — Woodland Park to Breckenridge.

Stage 6: Saturday, Aug. 23 — Vail Individual Time Trial.

Stage 7: Sunday, Aug. 24 — to be determined.

Online voting at www.prochallenge.com/ PickStage7 will determine the finish. The options are: Denver circuit race similar to this year’s; Golden to Denver; Boulder to Denver; Boulder to Golden.

Some of the elite cyclists have long lobbied for a mountaintop finish.

“Colorado has some of the most beautiful mountains in the world and the USA Pro Challenge draws some of the best riders in the world, so it makes perfect sense to add in a challenging mountaintop finish,” said Tom Danielson of Team Garmin-Sharp.

Colorado Springs has already begun assembling a local organizing committee for its Stage 4 finish: Peter Scoville (Cushman & Wakefield), Chris Carmichael (Carmichael Training Systems) and Meredith Vaughan (Vladimir Jones), along with Sports Corp President and CEO Tom Osborne and Chris Jenkins (Nor’Wood Development Group).

Pot taxes prevail

By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com A year after Colorado voters made retail marijuana sales legal, voters on Nov. 5 cleared the way for pot smokers to fund the regulations that will be tied to the newlycreated industry.

Voters overwhelmingly supported Proposition AA, a measure that will slap a 25 percent tax on retail pot sales that were made legal across the state as a result of last year’s passage of Amendment 64.

The measure was receiving about 65 percent of support, with 91 percent of precincts reporting as of the early morning of Nov. 6. Most of the money that will be collected through marijuana sales taxes will go toward regulating pot shops that will operate across the state, beginning on Jan. 1.

“This was about fulfilling the promise of Amendment 64, saying that we’re going to regulate this industry, but were also going to tax in a way that lets marijuana pay its own way,” said Rep. Jonathan Singer, DLongmont, a sponsor of House Bill 1318, which put in place the marijuana tax system.

Officer Continued from Page 1

city residents and 50,000 post cards advertising two months’ worth of holiday events are being distributed throughout the Pikes Peak region.

Dec. 7 will be a busy day in the Woodland Park community, starting at 8:30 a.m. with the Kiwanis Breakfast with Santa and culminating at 6 p.m. with the 25th annual Lighter Side of Christmas Parade, which is followed at 7 p.m. in the Ute Pass Cultural Center by a performance by the Woodland Park Wind Symphony, Crazy Hat judging and city’s annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony.

The community is also welcome to fill the Community Cupboard van with nonperishable items. The council also finished going over the 2014 budget draft. The budget ordinance will be presented at the Nov. 21 meeting for first reading. The public hearing and final approval is set for the Dec. 5 meeting. If it is approved at that time it’s likely that the council will cancel its Dec. 19 meeting.

A66 Goes Down Measure would have created new taxes to fund school funding overhaul

By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com A ballot measure that sought to overhaul the way that Colorado schools are funded suffered a sound defeat on Nov. 5.

Voters by a resounding margin rejected Amendment 66 on Election Night, a measure that would have created at least $950 million in new taxes annually to fund major school reforms across the state.

It was never close. After early returns showed the measure to be doomed, the only matters in question were how wide of a margin the ballot measure would fail and at what time would supporters publically admit defeat - that occurred about an hour after 7 p.m. poll closings.

As of the early morning of Nov. 6, Amendment 66 had been rejected by about 66 percent of voters, with 91 percent precincts reporting.

“Perhaps this wasn’t the right transaction,” Gov. John Hickenlooper acknowledged to a room of muted and disappointed supporters from inside downtown Denver’s Marriot Denver City Center.

Trying to remain positive, the governor also said that “no one fought against” the measure’s vision of making funding for Colorado schools a model for the rest of the nation. Hickenlooper said he will continue to strive toward achieving that goal.

“Every great social victory in the history of this country was based on a number of failures,” Hickenlooper said.

Meanwhile, Amendment 66 opponents

crowed.

“Colorado families spoke loud and clear,” said Kelly Maher, executive director of Compass Colorado, a group that worked to oppose Amendment 66. “We need substantive outcome-driven reforms to the educational system before we ask families and small businesses to foot a major tax bill.”

The measure sought to fund full-day kindergarten, preschool for at-risk youth and would have provided more resources for English language learners, special education students and children who are in gifted and talented programs.

Additionally, the measure aimed to reduce class sizes and would have reformed per-pupil funding statewide in a more equitable fashion, proponents argued.

While the reforms may have sounded good to many people, even the governor acknowledged that the hefty price tag associated with overhauling the new funding system was responsible for turning off many voters.

The measure would have raised taxes on all Colorado taxpayers. The two-tiered proposal would raise income taxes to 5 percent on everyone earning $75,000 or less. Those who earn over that amount would pay 5 percent on the first $75,000 in taxable income and 5.9 percent on taxable income above $75,000.

Colorado’s current income tax rate is a flat 4.63 percent, regardless of income level.

The measure sought to put in place

Legislation that was enacted through Senate Bill 213. The Democrat-sponsored bill which was signed by Hickenlooper in June - did not receive a single vote from Republican lawmakers.

Republicans and other critics blasted the school funding overhaul as a “billion dollar tax hike” that comes at a time when Coloradans are barely coming out of a recession. They also argued that Senate Bill 213 did not put in place the kind of reforms to warrant that kind of a tax increase.

Opponents also argued that much of the revenue that would have been raised through Amendment 66 would have ended up going to school districts other than the ones where taxpayers’ children attend.

The measure was rejected in just about every area of the state. For example, late returns showed that the measure was failing badly in Adams, Arapahoe, Douglas, El Paso and Jefferson Counties. The only large counties that could end up seeing majority support when the votes are officially tallied are Denver and Boulder.

The campaign that drove Amendment 66, Colorado Commits to Kids, had a huge fundraising advantage over its opposition, having collected more than $9 million for the measure’s messaging efforts.

“Honestly, you could have had the best messaging in the world, I just think that people felt it was too expensive,” Hickenlooper told reporters after his remarks.

Maher said afterward, “Never has so much been spent by so few to accomplish so little.”

Museum to participate in Colorado Gives Day The Victor Lowell Thomas Museum will participate in Colorado Gives Day 2013 – an initiative to increase philanthropy in Colorado through online giving to Colorado charities. Presented by Community First Foundation and FirstBank, Colorado Gives Day is a 24-hour period to “Give where you live” by making online donations to the hundreds of charities featured on Community First Foundation’s online

giving resource, ColoradoGives.org.

The museum is in the midst of a fundraising campaign to acquire funds for the installation of a heating system. The museum building, built in1899, has no heat and no running water. The project will make it possible for the museum to be open longer into the colder months of the year and accommodate school groups, as well special events during the fall and spring months.

The heating system will also make it possible to provide a better temperature control for the museum’s sensitive artifacts such as historic newspaper, photographs and mining artifacts.

The museum is also planning another dinner-auction fundraiser next March.

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS

Heartfelt messages from the front In 1941, thousands of Coloradans joined the fray in WWII when the 45th Infantry Division became one of the first National Guard units federalized from state control into the regular army force.

Intense fighting followed in the invasion of Sicily, the attack on Salermo, and brutal battles at Anzio and Monte Cassino. And those were just warm ups for landings in France, during operation Dragoon, and final drive into Nazi Germany and physical liberation of the Dachau death camp.

My Uncle “Stub” was a medic attached to 157 Infantry of 45th Thunderbirds, and an old friend of mine, from my hometown in Dolores, was in the same unit.

“A few lines to let you know where I am, and answer your letter,” wrote my uncle, to my father (who was still in High school at the time, in Meeker, CO) on Nov. 12, 1942 from New York, NY, as they prepared to depart for Europe after training there, Fort Sill, OK, and other places.

“I don’t know much that would interest you, but will try to let you know how things are with me. It snowed last night and today so have had a little fun. We are having snow-ball fights, for this is the most snow I have seen since I was home last winter, and tonight there is about two inches.”

The uncertainty of what was to come,

was touched on in my uncle’s letter.

“I still don’t know for sure whether I will get to come home not, so don’t look for me till you see me in person, and then you won’t be disappointed,” he wrote.

The letter broke off a few lines later, but resumed, with a different ink.

“I started to write this letter but the lights went out for about an hour, so it stopped me from finishing my scandal.

Well, I guess there is no more to say, so till next time, goodbye for now.”

My dad says he didn’t hear much from Uncle Stub again, until my other Uncle, Bill, who served in the U.S. Navy, searched for his unit, and tracked him in France one day. “Been busy,” Uncle Stub told my Uncle Bill at the time. Perhaps an understatement, when you review the history.

From another account, this one from

Paul Butler (I knew Butler, later, while growing up in Dolores, Colo.), who was a corporal in the same 157th regiment of the 45th Thunderbirds: “We were under machine gun fire all night long, laying on the ground. Machine gun fire killed my Sergeant. The Italians weren’t very good fighters but the Germans were, they were always blowing up railroad tracks and bridges. I saw a U.S.O. show with Bob Hope,” Butler told a nephew who compiled his story for the 157th regiment’s page for WWII Recreation Association page.

“We traveled on foot a lot under General (George) Patton’s command. He gave a speech to about 2,000 of us and we were told we’d hit the mainland of Italy. I remember him saying, ‘If those SOBs don’t back up, take your bayonets and make them.’ Patton had to return to the states over the incident where he slapped the soldier with battle fatigue, so we went on without him,” according to Paul’s account to his nephew.

“In Sicily I was transferred back into an Anti-tank company and I hauled 60mm Mortar rounds. On Sept. 8, 1943 we hit Salerno Beach. There, I drove a White half-track pulling a 37mm gun. I drove the half-track onto the beach head. On the

way into Italy, the Italians surrendered, but the Germans fought furiously. That winter we were foot soldiers in the mountains of Italy. A lot of G.I.s got trench foot, frozen feet and lost toes. Then, on January 29, 1944 we hit Anzio Beach Head. The Germans had all the high ground and we were pinned down on the beach every day for 4 to 5 months. Every day was like a D-day,” he said.

“I built a cellar that kept shell fragments out. It was a foxhole with a timber and sandbag roof. We had a gas stove and played cards sometimes with a candle, when the candle went out you knew you had to get out to get oxygen. The Germans had this big gun we called Anzio Angie and when the big shells were fired, it sounded light a freight train coming. The gun was placed back in a tunnel on a railway car.

They had a 6 barrel mortar that sounded like a screechin’ tomcat, but the toughest were those German 88’s. Us half-track drivers had to drive back up this road one time so we could hide and camouflage our vehicles. Most of my 37mm gun crew was killed then. They gave me the Bronze Star for delivering ammunition while under

Chiefs, Broncos will be seen in prime time The scuttlebutt around the state is that a huge football game is taking place Nov. 17 at Denver’s Sports Authority Field.

The UNDEFEATED Kansas City Chiefs are making their way to the Mile High City for a showdown with the mighty Peyton Manning-led Broncos.

It is clash so big that NBC revamped its Sunday Night Football schedule so it could feature the game in prime time.

This is one of those regular season tilts that will get even the casual fan interested. It trumps Mike Shanahan’s return to Denver last month. It makes the Broncos’ season opener with the Baltimore Ravens seem like a walk in the park.

In other words, this clash of titans is huge.

The Chiefs are the only undefeated team in the made-for-TV National Football League. That means that 31 other squads - including the Broncos - have tasted the bitter agony of defeat.

This is the same Chiefs team that was 2-14 a year ago. It is the same Chiefs team that traded for much scrutinized quarter-

back Alex Smith; the No. 1 overall pick by the San Francisco 49ers in the 2005 draft.

The Broncos have the 1998 No. 1 overall pick under center in Manning. The muchbeloved Papa John’s pizza spokesman is enjoying another fine regular season and has the Broncos looking like more of a contender than a pretender.

Manning will do his best to confuse the vaunted Chiefs’ defense with his pants-onfire style of play. The Indianapolis Colts did not fall for his razzle-dazzle a few weeks ago, however, and my guess is that the Chiefs will also read Manning like a book.

The No. 1 key to defeating Manning is to not let him get in your head. He is arguably one of the top five regular season quarterbacks of all time. He is a master of making the opposing team doubt its game plan. He seemingly brings grown men to their knees with a flick of his wrist.

The Chiefs are not 9-0 because they are lucky. Their head coach, Andy Reid, is one of the best in the game. He took his former club, the Philadelphia Eagles, to four consecutive NFC Championship games and one Super Bowl. The Eagles lost to Tom Brady’s Patriots following the 2004 season.

The Chiefs have not allowed more than 17 points in any game this season.

Opponents are scoring an average of just 12 points per contest against the scarlet red, gold and white clad men from Middle America.

Conversely, the Broncos, or Donkeys as some people around the state like to call them, have allowed 19 or more points to every team they have played.

So, who will win? My guess is that this will be a close game. The Chiefs will put a

ton of pressure on Manning. He won’t have time to survey the field the way he normally likes to do. And history has proven that when Manning is hurried he tends to throw interceptions; many of them for pick sixes.

The Broncos will have to rely on a consistent running game to keep the Chiefs’ defense off balance.

Likewise, Smith will have to step up and perform the way he did when he led the 49ers to a wild 36-32 playoffs victory over the New Orleans Saints in 2012.

The Chiefs running game, led by Jamaal Charles, will have to put a hurt on the Broncos’ defense so that Smith is not forced to win the game by himself.

Final score: 27-20 Chiefs.

And after the Chiefs win the game to improve to 10-0, they will be in the driver’s seat to win the AFC West. If that plays out, the Broncos would end up being a wild card team and on the road for the first round of the playoffs. I guess given that scenario, this is a must-win for the Broncos.

There’s oil in them hills Over the years I have run across unusual stories about our oil boom. Yes, they found oil as far north as Monument, and west at Colorado City. I found this very early item quite interesting because of who was one of the investors. Oil had been found in Colorado City in the 1880s, and it quickly became a gas well. Natural gas was used in homes in that area very early.

The search for oil in this area started in the 1880s. Many exploratory wells were drilled before anything was found. For three months in early 1901, a well actually was found just outside Colorado Springs to be able to produce reasonable oil. Now in 1901 a reasonable amount of oil was anything over a barrel an hour! This first producer was a mile west of the railroad station at Buttes. That would put it just about on Fort Carson. A company was already buying the oil, being loaded at Buttes. There was talk of building a pipeline over to Buttes for loading.

You may know Canon City is a big oil producing area starting also in the 1880s.

A refinery was built at Overton, just north of Pueblo in the late 1880s. The oil exploration and discoveries in the area between Fountain and north Pueblo was quite sporadic, but it lasted for nearly 30 years, with several good wells. The oil was not very deep, as oil goes, but most were short lived and mainly produced gas. Modern day fracking is a process that can bring life back to old wells, but so far these areas

have not proved to be large enough to be worth reopening.

The part I found most interesting was that W.S. Stratton was one of the primary investors in these 1901 wells. He was a recent millionaire, having sold his Independence Mine near Victor. He was doing a good job at spending his fortune. He also purchased the Colorado Springs street car line, and was looking at extending it all the way to Canon City, by way of Florence.

He never did this, but he certainly spent a fortune on the Colorado Springs street cars. He was also buying up old mines in Cripple Creek, but never did as well as the Independence, which was just outside Victor.

His oil wells never amounted to much, but some of the land he purchased became Myron Stratton Home, named for his father, at the south end of Colorado Springs, and he owned many major buildings in downtown Colorado Springs.

November 13, 2013

letters to the editor Dear Editor: This is in reply to Karen Mitchell’s letter to the editor in the Pikes Peak Courier View, volume 52, issue 42, dated October 16, 2013, where Ms. Mitchell elected to quote me.It is apparentthat Ms. Mitchell has only listened to the information given

by Doug Pearson of Golden Bell.He likes to represent that the Dan Walker Memorial Chapel is the only issue here.Actually, anyone who will spend just a little time reading the application, will discover that this has nothing to do with the chapel, but in reality with the +17,000 sf conference center.You know, the one with the commercial catering kitchen, elevator, and on one of the plans submitted, will hold over 900 people.Mr. Haase, Chairman of the Planning Commission, placed an arbitrary number of 450 people.This is also the little chapel that is going to take a year to build.

Golden Bell has a chapel already.Why not just name it the Dan Walker Memorial Chapel?This will not happen because Golden Bell wants to make a lot of money on this building by renting it to anyone willing to pay the price.

Mr. Pearson has stated on the record that the camp can sleep 551 people per day.He has also stated that the gym/activities center currently is used for large meetings (weddings, conferences, family reunions, etc), which is open to the public and anyone willing to pay the price.He balked at the suggestionfrom the Planning Commission that he not use this facility if he is going to use the new conference center.Mr. Pearson has previously said that this gym/activities center can hold up to 400.Do the math: 551 camp attendees + 400 gym/activities center + 450 conference center = 1,401 at the camp on one day.All of this on rural land.

Ms. Mitchell appears to know what the meaning of “rural resort” is.I challenge her to explain it.Nowhere in the Land Use Regulations, Growth Management Plan, or Divide Regional Plan is a definition.“Rural resort” is just a map overlay that gives no special meaning, use, or rights to a property.It does not change the zoning of the property, which remains zoned A-1 Agricultural.

Ms. Mitchell states “It is clear to me that the surrounding homeowners built their homes well aware that they were bordering a camp.”“Golden Bell already owned the property they sought to have re-designated with a map change.” I beg to differ.Homeowners built bordering agricultural land, not a camp. With the behind the scene purchase of the 154 acre Maytag

fire. I was just one of the lucky ones who didn’t get hit. A lot of men were captured, then escaped and rejoined us. One unit lost all but two of its men.”

‘Operation Shingle’ and the allied landing at Anzio was significant because the American 5th Army was surrounded by Germans in the caves of Pozzolli in February of 1944. It sustained heavy casualties.

“One day when we had a break in the shelling and I was horsing around with some other fellas and one threw a dirt clod and gave me a black eye. They sent me to the hospital. They wanted to give me a Purple Heart, but I told the truth and said I’d rather have some aspirin. During the second night, the Germans shelled the hospital and I crawled under my cot.

I told them it was safer where I had been, and I asked to be sent back to the front,” according to Butler’s account.

“My last day of combat was April 30, 1945, my 511th day. That day I visited the Nazi concentration camp at Dachau. The day before, I company of the Third Battalion had been the first to Dachau. Some of my buddies went over that day, I figured

property in 2003, it puts the camp right next to us.Oh, a speaking of the surrounding property owners in favor of the convention center, most all are on land either purchased from Golden Bell, rented from Golden Bell, are employed by Golden Bell, or are members of the owner of Golden Bell, the Church of the Nazarene.

Ms. Mitchell writes that Golden Bell met all requirements set forth in the application process.I again would like to direct her to the findings of the Planning Commission where in a vote of 3 to 2, it was decided that not only had Mr. Pearson not shown that all requirements had been met, but also showed that the Planning Staff had nothing to substantiate the findings.

Again, this has nothing to do with a little chapel, the ability of Golden Bell to provide any of their currentactivities, or interfere with their mission, but everything to do with the largest conference/ meeting facility in the rural area of Teller County.

Thomas Worley Dear Editor: Above the Clouds Cruisers would like to thank all of the participants, supporters, and staff for their involvement in the 22nd annual Cruise above the Clouds Car Show.

While the weather environment wreaked havoc around Colorado, we were blessed to have received two days of absolutely gorgeous fall weather in which to present the 22nd show. Even though the weather may have negatively affected our “normal” turnout of approximately 250 entries, we were still honored to have hosted 185 entrants who braved the threats of inclement weather. The day started out just a bit “soggy” but it progressed into a beautiful day here in the City above the Clouds.

Due to the generous support of our sponsors, participants and friends, we were able to raise $28,000 for our chosen Teller County charitable organizations.

The following agencies received funds: Prospect Homecare & Hospice, $5,000; Aspen Mine Center, $3,900; Community Cupboard, $3,900; Help the Needy, $3,900; Teller Senior Coalition, $3,900;WPHS Industrial Arts Scholarship, $2,000; Little Chapel Food Pantry, $750; Woodland Park Senior Citizen’s Club, $750; Teller County Search & Rescue, $ 750; Adoptable Animal & Rescue Foundation, $500; Teller County Regional Animal Shelter, $500; American Legion,$400; Rotary Club, $400; Ute Pass Kiwanis, $400; Lions Club, $400; New Covenant Christian Fellowship, $300; and Beer

I’d better see it too. I didn’t really want to, but I did. Them pictures you’ve seen, it was the truth. We had been fighting for two years and we were hard. We had seen things -- our friends killed and you kind of got used to it, maybe your emotions sort of die,” Butler said. Both Paul Butler, and my Uncle Stub, were among the fortunate from 45th Thunderbirds that were able to return to Colorado after WW II, and resume their lives in the Centennial state, though my Uncle battled with health issues related to the shrapnel that he picked up in both Anzio and Sicily.

The unit was briefly deactivated and then reactivated and restricted to Oklahoma soldiers in 1951, and finally deactivated in a downsizing of the National Guard in 1968. The former division was restructured into an infantry brigade, an artillery group, and a support command, with state headquarters providing general administrative and logistical support. This did not mean the end of the Thunderbird; the Thunderbird patch was retained by all the organizations, with the exception of the state headquarters, which continued to be identified with the Indian-head patch.

The 45th Infantry Division Museum in Oklahoma City still pays tribute to those who served valiantly over the years.

Thank you for your continued support!

Have a wonderful holiday season, and we look forward to serving you again at the 23rd Cruise above the Clouds Car Show Sept. 13 and 14.

Respectfully, The Above the Clouds Cruisers www.cruiseabovetheclouds.com Dear Editor: For those of you who have not participated in our Lights of Love, we would like to take this opportunity to let you know the history of this special evening. The Lights of Love remembrance began over two decades ago to honor loved ones we have lost and to take a few minutes to reflect on their memory.

The evening is full of joy and the pleasure of remembering the best of times — the smiles, laughter and hugs. With a common unity of missing someone, we gather together to honor them and rejoice in their lives. We open our hearts and let memories engulf us. You may see a few tears, but they are a release of emotions.

What you see and feel is the celebration of life, realization of how precious life is and how fortunate we each are to have loved and be loved.

The solemn part of the program is when we read the names of loved ones whose (symbolic) light shines on the tree outside. Over 300 people are remembered each year. In our crazy, hectic, multitasking world, it is comforting to slow down, take a few minutes and embrace the feelings and memories of those we miss.

I hope you allow yourself this indulgence.

We’d love to see you, remember those we cared for with you, and remember your own personal losses.

Mark your calendar — it is the first

Thursday of December at 6 p.m. at the Ute Pass Cultural Center. Light a Light for someone you love. Join us for a celebration of life with bell ringing, symphony sounds, singing and camaraderie. After the program, walk through the luminaries to our tree lighting and return to the warmth of delicious food and homemade desserts.

No better way to begin the season of peace and love then with Prospect Home Care & Hospice’s Lights of Love.

Barrowman CEO Prospect Home Care & Hospice Dear Editor: We wish to thank Ute Pass Chamber Players for making Woodland Park Senior Citizens Club the recipients of their first annual benefit concert.

30 vets honored at Lake George Charter School

By Sonja Oliver

Contributing writer Students and staff at Lake George Charter School presented a Veteran’s Appreciation program on Nov. 7, honoring 30 veterans from the Lake George and Florissant areas. More than 100 members from the community were in attendance.

In preparation for the event, students learned about what a veteran represents and about the military services. Following the teachers’ classroom instruction on veterans and patriotism, first-grade teacher Mary Doty said her students came away with the impression that “Courage was doing something even though we might be afraid.”

Principal Bill Fredenburg, an Air Force veteran during the Vietnam War from 197074, said he was able to share with students that his experience in the military challenged him to to his best even when in a difficult situation.

Beginning with a flag ceremony, the children sang five songs relating to the nation’s military; the Army Song, the Marine Corps Hymn, Navy Fight Song, United States Air Force Song and Semper Paratu (Always Ready) the United States Coast Guard Song. Veterans from the World War II, Vietnam, Korean War, Afghanistan and Iraq were represented in the 30 attendees who were honored at the event.

Presentations were given by each of the classes. The first grade students wrote their own quotes based on their impressions from visiting with some of the veterans.

“Veterans can help our country by going all over the world,” said one first-grader.

Another impression of a first-grade student was “Veterans can be girls too.”

Second-graders made their own poppies and performed the famous poem “In Flanders Field.”

Third-graders read a poem authored

by Cheryl Dyson entitled “Veterans Day”

The entire student population of the Lake George Charter School participated with songs, poems, skits and personal letters in a special program acknowledging approximately 30 veterans from the local area at their annual Veterans Appreciation Day event held on Nov. 7. Photo by Sonja Oliver which ended with, “Though we may not know each name, we thank ALL veterans just the same.”

Third- and fourth-graders also read original poem compositions, giving a copy to each of the veterans in attendance. The fifth grade students wrote and read letters of appreciation which were also given to

the veterans. An example letter from fifthgrade student Kendra Swenson stated; “Dear Veteran, Thank you for your service and dedication. Your bravery helped us have freedom. You get in harm’s way just for the United Staes of America. Thank you so much. With all my respect to you, Kendra Swenson.”

Sixth and seventh-grade classes wrote and performed a skit which defined what a veteran was and what they represent for the country.

Following the presentations, all in attendance sang along with the students “You’re a Grand Old Flag.”

Improvements planned for Bennett

By Sonja Oliver

Contributing writer The Cripple Creek City Council met on Nov. 6 to discuss the city’s upcoming Bennett Avenue street improvement project, conclude the liquor licensing hearing for the “Blazing Skull,” a proposed bar, and accept Finance Director Paul Harris’ recommendation for a new accounting software.

Public Works Director Jim Blasing told the council that their next step in a process to go forward with a major street improvement was for council to approve a proposal from engineering firm Parsons Brinckerhoff, for final engineering design services.

The scope of services include Bennett Avenue improvements from Second Street to Fifth Street and the intersection of Fifth Street and Myers Avenue. Improvements to infrastructure, curbs and sidewalks are part of a possible $5.3 million dollar project. The project will also restore a historic viaduct wall in the center of Bennett Avenue located between Third and Fourth streets.

Some of the project goals are to stabilize the viaduct structure as well as provide a significant face lift to the historic 300 Block of Bennett Avenue. Work is to include both the restoration of the viaduct wall as well as the widening of existing sidewalks to enhance pedestrian traffic.

Other improvements are to include, but are not limited to, new curbs and gutters, improved streetlights, added drainage structures, asphalt removal and replacement and a reinforced upper “knee wall” and railing to facilitate vehicle safety.

Within this past year, the city received the amount of $2.6 million dollars from the Colorado Department of Transportation, a buyout for a section of Bennett Avenue that was part of Colorado Highway 67.

According to City Manager Ray White, the city was given that amount based on a formula which the state had determined as improvement costs for that portion of the highway. The city now holds the deed for that section of highway and has funds in its coffers to allow the city to go forward

with the improvements to Bennett Avenue, pending the council’s approval.

“This is the crossroads where we put it out for bid in a contract (so we can get) shovels in the ground this spring. It’s the culmination of all the meetings we’ve had,” Blasing said.

However, during discussion, Steve Zoellner, councilman, moved to table the agenda item prior to any vote requesting they have one more opportunity to discuss the proposal. A work session was scheduled for 4 p.m. on Nov. 12.

Liquor license hearing continued

With the Cripple Creek City Council acting in the capacity of “local licensing authority” on a liquor license request from Lisa Ross for a proposed tavern called “The Blazing Skull,” the hearing was in a continuation mode again.

The proposed bar would be located on the second floor above Sweet Baby George’s Pizzeria and Arcade at 123 E. Bennett Ave. and Ross would sublease the space for the establishment from George and Ana Sebok.

At the prior council meeting on Oct. 16, the hearing had been concluded however, because of questions regarding Ross’ background check, council members sent her a letter requesting her appearance at the Nov. 6 meeting in order to answer additional questions.

Because the council felt that the information submitted by Ross “seemed somewhat inconsistent” with Colorado Background Investigation results, the city asked Ross to return and respond to questions that arose regarding the inconsistencies. Ross submitted a letter to the council explaining the circumstances regarding her disclosure of a limited gaming violation — a misdemeanor — in 2005.

According to City Attorney Lee Phillips, criteria for consideration of a liquor license are: The needs and desires of the adult inhabitants near the location, reasonable requirements of the neighborhood60091665_2010_KPSA.MP_DPA_LclCmAdPhn_qtrPG_CMYK_SOCO_v1.indd and the good moral character of the applicant.

Ross was informed by the council that their decision would be made at the60091665_2010_KPSA.MP_DPA_LclCmAdPhn_qtrPG_CMYK_SOCO_v1.indd upcoming council meeting on Nov. 20.

Children thrive in monthly program Additional volunteers are currently being sought

By Pat Hill

phill@ourcoloradonews.com

F

oosball and pool tables, air hockey, arts, crafts, puzzles and blocks, children with disabilities find creativity in play during Woodland Park Break Time.

“The kids seem to enjoy the time so much,” said Jo Lied who, with Donna Richards, hosts the free monthly program.

“They like eating lunch together, sitting at round tables so they can see each other.”

For Anna Carrillo, break time gives her four hours to run errands or do chores.

“We love it!” said Carrillo, whose daughter, Maycee, 18, is a regular on Saturdays. “The program gives Maycee a chance to connect with others in the community. She enjoys it.”

Maycee is non-verbal and wheelchairdependent. “I don’t have any hesitation about taking Maycee there. There’s a huge need in the community for this,” Carrillo said. “Donna and Jo are generous in giving their time in this effort.”

The program is fulfilled entirely by Lied, Richards and several volunteers who have passed background checks and been trained in caregiving standards for the disabled.

Among the volunteers are teachers, physical therapists, a father as well as his daughter and an early childhood special-

ist.

In addition to the team, the program includes a registered nurse who sees that each child takes the proper medication and oversees all their hygienic needs.

“The break time has helped these children gain independence,” Lied said. “We have kids who are happiest when they are listening to music or watching videos, although that’s only part of it. We try to do things that are developmentally appropriate to give them enjoyment.”

There is no charge for the respite-care program which is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. the first Saturday of the month at Mountain View United Methodist Church, which contributes the room. The program is open to children and young adults from 6 months to 21 years.

“This time allows parents to run errands, to know their child is in a safe place and being cared for by professionals,” Richards said.

Richards has a degree in special education and is a para-educator in the RE-2 School District and Lied is a children’s therapist.

In order to serve more children and young adults, Lied and Richards are seeking more volunteers. “They don’t have to have prior experience with children with disabilities, they just have to have a heart for helping kids,” Richards said. “We will provide the training they need.”

Parents are asked to register for the program on the 15th of the month prior to the Saturday program. To register, call Lied at 687-1012 or Richards after 4 p.m. at 687-4393.

Donna Richards, volunteers her time to host a respite-care program once a month in Woodland Park. The program is open to people with disabilities from the ages of six months to 21 years. Richards and Jo Lied founded the program in 2012. Courtesy photos

Bud Jeffery remembered in community Man honored by city of Cripple Creek

By Pat Hill

phill@ourcoloradonews.com The memories linger of a man whose story elicits reverence, laughter and inspiration. James L. “Bud” Jeffery died Oct. 24 at the local care center.

“I met Bud when he came to my door wearing a pistol,” said Tas Blevins, a Vietnam veteran who spearheads the Toys for Tots holiday program While Blevins thought this might be his final curtain, it turned out Jeffery was coming in from chopping wood. “Most people who go out in the woods around here carry a pistol,” Blevins said by way of explanation.

“Bud hauled wood for people in need, told me the mine (Cripple Creek & Victor Mining Co.) let him go up to their property. He did so many things for people in the community.”

However, on a benign rather than ominous mission, Jeffery only wanted to see if Blevins could help a biker stranded on Teller 1.

But that was a long time ago. “He was my hero, a typical veteran of WWII who didn’t like to talk about the war,” Blevins said.

But give him a parade and he was all over it, slinging his M-1 rifle. “You put that old war horse in a line and it was all we could do to keep up with him,” Blevins said. “It made my heart sing.”

In a town where everybody knows everybody, the Jefferys stood out as a couple who loved and enjoyed each other. “They reminded me of two little 6-year-olds,” Blevins said. “Bud was what we all wanted to grow up to be.”

The Jefferys attended the Baptist church, whose pastor is the Rev. Dennis Peck. Peck laughs at one of his memories of Jeffery after the church bought the building from the Iliff School of Theology. “Bud cut the lock off the doors with bolt cutters,” Peck said, adding that the building was empty and in disrepair.

Devout Christians, Jeffery and his wife, Laura, were known around town for their ministry, the Tuesday lunches and Bible study, which are still going strong. “If we

Jeffery have done any good, it’s God’s doing,” she said.

Laura, too, cherishes the memories of her husband of 65 years whom she met on a hayride in Sacramento, Calif., where they lived at the time. “I was with somebody else,” she said. “Later, his brother called me and said Bud would like to go out with me, but he’s shy.”

On the second date, they went to a baseball game. “He held my hand so we wouldn’t get separated,” she said. “He never let go of it.”

They were married two years later, and in 1974 moved to Cripple Creek to care for their daughter, Judy, who was severely injured in a car crash. His first job was at the Rose Bud mine. Over the years, Bud worked as a janitor at the school as well as a bus driver.

“He took anything he could get,” Laura said. “He always felt that God saved him on the battlefield so he could take care of his daughter.”

For the past several years, Bud lived at the care center with regular visits home to be cared for by Laura and their friends. “He loved sitting on the porch watching the school bus after his Alzheimer’s set in,” Laura said.

Jeffery’s memorial ceremony was Nov. 10 at the Baptist church. Jeffery is survived by his wife and their children, James, Judy, and Rick.

Known for his reverence for the Army, Jeffery was honored by the city of Cripple Creek and the Gold Camp Victorian Society in June 2008. Paul Harris, the city’s finance officer, interviewed Jeffery and told his story at the ceremony. Harris shared the interview with the Courier: The 76th Infantry Division arrived in Europe in late 1944. On Dec. 16, 1944, the Germans launched their last major offensive in the West — the famous Battle of the Bulge and Bud would find himself in the center of that Bulge. On the first day of the offensive, fighting was at close quarters and German SS troops lay dead only a few yards away from Bud’s position. After days of fighting, Bud and his unit had destroyed many German tanks with their cannons and in the process, many of Bud’s friends had been killed.

To the north of Bud’s position, the German army had initiated an attempt to break through the Allied lines with the objective of seizing the critically important harbor at Antwerp. The American forces at Bastogne had been surrounded by the Germans and were cut off from supplies and reinforcements.

There were insufficient Allied troops close enough to come to their aid. General Patton pulled some of his best units away from battlefields to the south where they were already engaged and told General Dwight Eisenhower that the Third Army, including elements of Bud’s 76th Division and the 101st Airborne, would get to Bastogne to relieve the weary U.S. troops.

Bud’s division began a 48-hour march through freezing temperatures, snow and ice-covered roads. Reaching Bastogne, they fought their way into the city and were immediately surrounded by the Germans.

Bud and his crew fired their 155 mm howitzer until they ran out of ammunition.

Bud then picked up his M-1 rifle and continued to fight the Germans as a foot soldier.

Bud fought inside the city of Bastogne until January 1945 at which time the Germans were pushed back and the original American

lines reestablished.

For his bravery in taking part in the desperate fight to save Bastogne, Bud and the other members of the 76th Infantry Division were awarded a special commemorative Bastogne medal by the exiled King of Belgium. Bud proudly displays this rare award with his other medals in his home. However, the battles were not over for Bud and the 76th Infantry Division.

After Bastogne, the division soldiers began fighting their way into Germany. Moving to the Rhine River Valley, the 76th took over the line from Boppard to St. Goar and crossed the Rhine River at Boppard, on March 27, 1945. The 76th Infantry drove east and took Kamberg in a house-to-house struggle. A new attack was launched on April 4th and the 76th reached the Werra River the next day. The attack continued in conjunction with the 6th Armored Division until Langensalza fell and the Gera River was crossed on April 11th. That same day, Bud and his company came across and helped liberate the German concentration camp at Buchenwald. He has carried the horrors of what he saw at that extermination camp quietly within him all these years.

On April 14-15th, the city of Zeitz was captured after a violent struggle and the 76th reached the Mulde River on the 16th, going into defensive positions to hold a bridgehead across the Mulde near Chemnitz until victory in Europe was achieved. When the war ended in May of 1945, Bud found himself in Cheimntz, a small city near Dresden, Germany. He had survived countless battles and endured many hardships. Bud was wounded during the Battle of the Bulge. He still has a large piece of a German artillery shell, which was removed from his leg and is displayed alongside his medals in a frame at his home.

For his efforts, Bud was awarded nine medals from the countries of France, Belgium, and Luxembourg. He also received eight American medals, including the Purple Heart.

Lighter Side honors Bennitts Weekend packed full of events

By Pat Hill

phill@ourcoloradonews.com It’s December in Woodland Park and the committee is in high gear planning the 25th anniversary celebration of the Lighter Side of Christmas Parade Dec. 7.

A major event in Woodland Park, the parade attracts hundreds who line up and down Midland Avenue to clap and cheer on the marchers — never mind the frigid temperatures.

This year, the committee has special praise for Tracie and John Bennitt who are credited with saving the tradition when others had given up on it. “John and Tracie said they couldn’t let the parade go, so they took it over,” said Gail Wingerd, a member of the parade committee.

For several years, the Bennitts worked alone to keep the parade going, until they were joined by Gayle Gross, Deb Idleman, Jan Cummer, Jamie Caperton and Marilyn Dougall.

From throwing a parade for fun to one with a higher purpose, the committee switched gears. “The committee created a beneficiary every year,” Wingerd said.

This year’s beneficiary is the Woodland Park Community Cupboard, a nonprofit organization under the direction of Janie Child. “Janie has been at the committee meetings all year,” Wingerd said, adding that beneficiaries are expected to put in the “sweat equity” to put on a parade.

The cupboard benefits through floatentry fees, as well as through non-perishable food contributions to signature van during the parade.

This year the city, through the Office of Economic Development, is on board with its buy-in of $5,000 for a brochure that highlights all the holiday events in Woodland Park.

Along with the beneficiary, the parade is distinguished by a theme, one that reflects the “lighter” side of the parade. This

year’s theme pays tribute to 90 years of films produced by Warner Bros. with special recognition to one of the company’s most famous characters, Bugs Bunny.

The parade, limited to 45 floats, begins at 6 p.m. Dec. 7 in downtown Woodland Park.

This year’s parade includes fireworks afterward. The parade committee includes the Bennitts, Cummer, David Mals, Wingerd and Doreen Ward. For more information, check www.lightersideofchristmas. com.

YULE LOG

A twist on the annual Yule Log Hunt is likely to have searchers running all over Woodland Park looking for a significant log, not just any old log.

The payoff is big if somebody finds the Yule Log, prizes are $1,000 worth of gifts from area businesses, including DVDs from 100 years of Warner Bros. movies.

The kickoff for the hunt is during the Friday Art Walk from 5 to 7 p.m. Nov. 15 in downtown Woodland Park. “We will announce the first clue,” said Doreen Ward, a member of the parade committee.

From that first clue, the parade committee will release another once a week on Fridays through Dec. 20. The clues will be at one of the business sponsors printed on the brochure “Elevate and Celebrate the Season.”

The brochures are available throughout the city.

The hunt challenges the searchers as the committee releases just five clues. The “I-found-it!” site of return is at Vintage Vines. “I’ll have identification on the log,” Ward said. The Community Cupboard van will also be parked at the Vines parking lot.

To enhance the weekend offerings, residents are invited to free matinees with Warner Bros. films at noon and 2 p.m., at Gold Hill Theater. Along with the movies, Carmen’s Tapas Grill features lunch from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. “It’s a great weekend to be in Woodland Park,” Ward said.

No matter how cold it is outside, hundreds turn out for the annual Lighter Side of Christmas Parade. This photo is from the 2011 parade. Courtesy photos

A scene from the parade of 2012 shows the broad range of the floats entered in the annual march through Woodland Park the first Saturday of December.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF NOV 11, 2013

crossword • sudoku

GALLERY OF GAMES & weekly horoscope

crossword • sudoku & weekly horoscope

GALLERY OF GAMES

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Keep your feelings to yourself as you work through an awkward circumstance. Complaining is useless, and also unwise since your words could come back to haunt you.

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) A sudden flash of Bovine practicality shows you how you might be able to turn your artistic pursuits into a profitable venture. A spouse or partner offers some sage advice.

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Be prepared with several “Plan Bs” that you might have to use as backups just in case you encounter some troublesome complications with your carefully constructed schedule.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) You might think you’ll never have a free moment again with the demands of the workplace piling on. Cheer up. The pressure eases as holiday time nears. An old friend brings good news.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Your Leonine pride might make it difficult to offer an apology to a co-worker you unintentionally offended. But a quick and sincere “I’m sorry” could prevent problems down the line.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) This is a good time to tackle those backed-up chores that have kept you from moving into other and potentially more worthwhile projects. A personal matter needs your attention.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) You usually have no problem rushing to the defense of someone you perceive as being treated unjustly. But perceptions could be deceiving this week. Check the facts before you act.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Before you point fingers at who might be to blame for the unexpected change in your plans, take a few moments to reflect on how this turn of events might be a blessing in disguise.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) You seek out advice in the first part of the week. But be careful not to let counsel from others overshadow your own sense of perception. Things become clearer by the week’s end.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) The trusted colleagues you relied on earlier continue to offer support with your project. But you take more control, and by the week’s end, you should be in full command.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Rely on your practical side while exploring investment possibilities.

Caution is still your watchword in these matters. Your social life takes a gratifying turn by the week’s end.

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) An already confusing situation appears to grow murkier during the first part of the week. But it all starts to clear by the week’s end.

Plan to spend the weekend with someone special.

BORN THIS WEEK: You have a passion for life that inspires others to follow your example. You could be a motivational speaker. © 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

Prep winter sports season is almost upon us

By Danny Summers

Dsummers@ourcoloradonews.com The start of the high school winter sports season is just around the corner.

Teams may begin interscholastic scrimmages on Nov. 19. All sports are regulated and monitored by the Colorado High School Activities Association.

Here’s a little background on CHSAA. In May, 1921, a group of superintendents and principals met in Boulder and organized the Colorado High School Athletic Conference. The purpose of this organization was to better regulate and develop the interscholastic school athletic program.

There were nine leagues by the time the first constitution was published, including the Northern, North Central, Western Slope, Suburban, Southeastern, Arkansas Valley, South Central and San Juan Basin leagues.

The first champions crowned that school year were Colorado Springs in football, Greeley in basketball, and Fort Collins in track and field.

In 1924, the Colorado High School Athletic Conference joined the National Federation of State High School Associations and has remained an active member of that organization ever since.

Loveland’s R.W. Truscott was the Association’s first president and Eaton’s J.C. Casey its first secretary (commissioner).

Truscott replaced Casey as secretary in December, 1926 and held that post until July, 1948 when Glenn T. Wilson became commissioner. Ray C. Ball took over the commissioner’s post in 1966 and remained in the office until August, 1986 when Ray Plutko assumed the duties. Bob Ottewill became the Association’s sixth commissioner in July, 1990, followed by Bill Reader who served as Commissioner from 2002 until 2010. Angelico assumed the reins on July 1, 2010.

CHSAA has had 58 presidents dating back to 1921. Its current president, Centauri High School Principal Curt Wilson, is in the first year of a two-year term as president.

CLASS 3A BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT MOVING TO AIR FORCE ACADEMY The Class 3A boys and girls state basketball tournaments are on the move.

The tournaments, held at Colorado State University’s Moby Arena since 2002, will move to the Air Force Academy’s Clune Arena beginning this season, according to assistant commissioner Bert Borgmann, who oversees basketball.

The move is being made in hopes that

Senior Josh Smith will be looking to pin a lot of opponents this winter for the Woodland Park wrestling team. Photos by Danny Summers it will re-energize the 3A tournaments, which have seen a recent decline in attendance.

Additionally, a survey of member schools revealed a desire to move the tournaments closer to a central part of the state.

Facilities in and around Denver were considered, but not available for the dates needed. This season’s tournaments will be March 13-15, and will remain at Air Force for at least the next two seasons. Air Force has previously hosted a number of CHSAA tournaments.

“We are disappointed that we have to leave CSU because we love the people, facilities, the hotels and the community, but we need to re-energize the tournament,” Borgmann said. “We are hoping that these changes help with that, and bring us closer to a majority of the schools that participate in the tournament. We are very excited to work with the Air Force Academy again.”

The 3A state tournaments at Clune Arena will comprise the Great 8 and beyond, including consolation games.

Sites for the other state tournaments have not changed. Thus, 5A and 4A will remain at THE University of Colorado, 2A at CSU-Pueblo and 1A at the Budweiser Events Center in Loveland.

CHISHOLM WRESTLING FOR UNC Thomas Chisholm, a 2013 Woodland Park alumnus, is wrestling for the University of Northern Colorado.

Chisholm, 5-foot-11, 157 pounds, plans to study business at UNC. TCA, CANON CITY HEADED TO METRO LEAGUE? CHSAA is expected to announce this week that The Classical Academy and Canon City will join the 4A Metro League for all sports expect football.

TCA is making the move up because of an increase in enrollment. Canon City is making the move as more of a geographical decision.

Woodland Park graduate Thomas Chisholm will be wrestling for the University of Northern Colorado this fall and winter.

It’s almost time to take the sports inside the gym

By Danny Summers

Dsummers@ourcoloradonews.com Today marks the first day that Colorado High School winter sports teams are officially allowed to hold practices.

Woodland Park has boys and girls basketball teams, as well as a wrestling squad.

Cripple Creek-Victor features boys and girls basketball.

Woodland Park’s boys’ basketball team went 6-17 last season; its best mark in years. The Panthers were just 2-12 in the Class 4A Metro League, however, with victories over Harrison and Mitchell.

Among the top returning players are junior swingman Dakota Herman and junior forward/center Sam Hopfe.

The Woodland Park girls were 3-20 last year, 2-12 in the Metro League.

The top returning player is senior post Alexa Garrick, The girls host the Mountain Madness Tournament again this season. Among the teams headed up the mountain are Lewis-

Palmer and Palmer Ridge.

Woodland Park’s wrestling team has several returning mat men who played a pivotal role in the success of last year’s team. Among them are seniors Josh Smith, Jonathan Hinton and Jake Morgan.

Cripple Creek-Victor has a new boys basketball coach in Jordan Buss, who takes over for Jim Bertrand. Buss, who doubles as the school’s football coach, inherits several returning lettermen, including Cody Rice and Toby Wuellner.

The Pioneers were 3-16 last season, 0-10 in the 2A Southern Peaks Conference.

The Pioneers’ girls will again be coached

by Michelle Eastman, who directed the club to a 2-16 record a year ago, 0-10 in conference.

The top returning players are senior guard Katie Tapia, junior Mikaela Schell and sophomore Julie Brown.

Buss and Eastman are both graduates of Woodland Park High School.

The first official winter sports games can take place as early as Dec. 2.

Woodland Park junior Sam Hopfe will be counted on to help lead the Panthers’ boys basketball team. Photo by Paul Magnuson

Anusara Yoga is a style of Hatha Yoga, blending together physical and strengthening through various poses while focusing on breath. The poses build core strength and toned muscles with emphasis on proper body alignment. The attention to breath will reduce stress and promote relaxation.

Chiste working to change atmosphere of Cripple Creek-Victor athletics

$67 95 68 95 74 95 79 95 87 95 89 95

At an age when most educators have long retired, Dolph Chiste is still very much involved in the process of helping young men and women realize their goals and dreams.

Chiste, 71, is a career guidance counselor and athletic director at Cripple CreekVictor High School. He joined the Teller County institution last summer and seems to be relishing his role.

“I love Colorado,” Chiste said. “I’m a history buff, so living and working here in Cripple Creek is a very nice thing.”

Chiste’s “full-time” residence is actually in Greeley. He and his wife live there because that location is closer her job at Denver International Airport, where she is based as a flight attendant.

During the week Chiste has a place in Cripple Creek so that he can avoid the sixhour drive commute from Greeley.

“This is working out pretty well,” Chiste said.

Chiste is fully aware of the challenge facing the athletes and coaches at the high school. Declining enrollment (there are 165 kids in grades 7 through 12) and participation have led to some rough times for Pioneers teams in recent years. Still, that does not detour Chiste from forging a new trail.

“We just have to keep working on getting students out,” Chiste said. “We have to work with what we have and keep a close eye on the process.”

Chiste has spent the bulk of his career in education in western Pennsylvania and Ohio. A lifelong counselor, he has coached various levels of football, baseball, wrestling and track.

“Growing up in western Pennsylvania it was football and when that was done you rolled out the wrestling mats,” Chiste said with the grin.

Cripple Creek-Victor was forced to shut down its wrestling program after the 2011 season.

Chiste retired a few years ago, but doing odd jobs and chores around the house was not to his liking. He worked at a couple of other schools in the state before landing at Cripple Creek-Victor.

The school’s athletic department has undergone several changes this year. Jim Bertrand was replaced as the athletic director (he is still the activities director), as well as football coach and boys basketball coach.

Jordan Buss, a Woodland Park graduate, was brought in to be the football coach and boys’ basketball coach.

“Jordan is building a program,” Chiste said. “I would hope within two years we would be competitive in football again.”

The girls’ basketball coach is Michelle Eastman, who is also a Woodland Park alum.

Cripple Creek-Victor offers just a handful of sports. In the fall, the football team went 0-7 while Amy Chistison’s volleyball team was 2-17. Chistison had just nine players on the roster.
