Climbing team eagerly awaits new wall Donations pay for construction, which is expected to be complete by July

By Kaitlyn Pratt

Contributing writer Woodland Park High School plans to have a new rock-climbing wall built by the end of June. The wall, which will be built in the auxiliary gym, will be 26 feet tall and will have six lanes for the students to climb.

The construction of the wall is based on a $16,000 dollar budget, which has come largely from donations.

Woodland Park High School’s climbing team is particularly excited about the new wall. The team, which is coached by Nathaniel Owen, is currently preparing for state finals on Feb. 21. The team practices weekly and meets for competitions monthly at City Rock in Colorado Springs. The students compete both individually, and as a team. The meets usually consist of five or six different schools from the region, but there will be 25 to 30 schools from all over Colorado competing in State Finals.

The team was started two years ago when a student asked Owen, who has

climbed since he was a high school student himself, about rock climbing competitions.

Soon after that Mr. Owen put together a team to compete at City Rock. There are about 10 students who meet regularly, and that number grows in the spring when the team starts the outdoor climbing. Kathryn Kananen, the team captain, said that it is a great team for anyone to be involved in.

“Climbing gets you into shape at your own pace,” she says. “It isn’t too time consuming, and we have a diverse group of kids.”

The climbing wall will allow the team to have regular climbing practice, but for now they get creative about how they prepare for the climbing meets. The team has managed to find creative ways to build their climbing muscles without a wall, mainly through calisthenics exercises that work the core and fingers, such as pull-ups, sit-ups, and L-sits. In the spring and summer the team gets together for outdoor climbing at Red Rocks and other sites. The outdoor climbing provides its own challenge as students learn climbing skills such as lead climbing and belaying.

“I encourage the students to push their comfort zones so that they can get to know themselves better,” says Owen. “This is an

Once the climbing wall is built, the high school will be able to integrate climbing courses in to its physical education curriculum. Rock Climbing provides a different sort of challenge to students both physi-

cally and mentally. In addition to building muscle and strengthening the core, the mental aspect of climbing allows students to conquer fears and build confidence.

“Climbing is an intellectual sport because it requires unique problem solving and creative body movement,” said Owen.

Woodland Park and Teller County have an opportunity to join El Paso County’s Enterprise zone.

In his monthly economic development update, Brian Fleer, Woodland Park economic development director and Downtown Development Authority executive director, said that by state statute there can be only 16 enterprise zones in Colorado and the only way to become part of one of these zones it to be invited to join an existing zone.

According the Colorado Department of Economic Development website, “Colorado’s Enterprise Zone program provides tax incentives to encourage businesses to locate and expand in designated economically distressed areas of the state — those having a high unemployment rate, low per capita income, or a low population growth rate.”

Teller County qualifies to join El Paso County’s Enterprise Zone because its population dipped in 2013.

“They (El Paso County Economic Development Office) are likely to invite all or part of Teller County to join their enterprise zone,”

Fleer said.

Benefits include tax credits, grants, help for nonprofits, job training, business incentives and more.

Fleer said 2015 will be a “project management year.” Other economic development news includes the following: The Family Entertainment (bowling alley and more) facility that is slated to be constructed next to the Woodland Aquatic Center in Woodland Station is getting ready to break ground.

Projects in Woodland Station Lot 2 are in their final planning stages prior to also breaking ground.

Development of workforce housing nonprofit and steering committees are continuing and Councilmember John Schafer said the steering committee plans to make workforce housing project recommendations in December.

Woodland Park Main Street Committee and North Teller Build a Generation will be taking over the Old-Fashioned Fourth of July Celebration. Previously, this celebration was sponsored

by Community Partnerships. Because of construction at Memorial Park, the event will move to the Ute Pass Cultural Center and Pavilion on the Green.

The annual Teller County Economic Forecast meeting is scheduled from 8 to 10 a.m. on Feb. 18 at the Ute Pass Cultural Center. County Assessor Betty Clark-Wine and other local offi-

cials will be speaking at the meeting and light refreshments will be served.

Council authorized the issuance of the $10.1 million bond for the Woodland Center. City Manager David Buttery said the city has interviewed underwriters and will soon announce its choice. Once the funding is secured, design work and construction can start.

Council also approved an ordinance that rescinds an old city ordinance that required a 25foot setback for vehicle retail properties and a $2 million, interest-free loan for the wastewater treatment plant upgrades. An additional $6.5 million will be borrowed at about 3.5 percent.

Money to repay the loan will come out of the city’s water and wastewater enterprise funds.

Utilities Director Kip Wiley told council that the city has an opportunity to buy 2.3 Twin Lakes water shares. He will be bringing the acquisition back at a future council meeting. The additional shares will not affect the city’s buildout plans, he said Wiley said the number of gallons in a TwinLakes share depends on snowpack but is usually around 325,000 gallons. Snowpack across the state is at 75 percent of normal for this time of year.

Woodland Park Finance Director Wallie Dingwell has been appointed and sworn in as city treasurer. JR Gatling was appointed to the Keep Woodland Park Beautiful Committee and as an alternate to the city’s Utility Advisory Committee.

Moose lets loose in Woodland Park

By Pat Hill

phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com Here, there, everywhere, an unidentified moose is running around Woodland Park from Feb. 7 through 22. To date, no one has pegged who plays the moose, but whoever it is, the horned animal signals a bargain somewhere in town.

Tanner Coy of Tweeds Fine Furnishings initiated the “Moose of Loose Fest” 15 years ago to inject consumer fuel into a typically slow month. “It was a way of setting ourselves apart from competitors,” Coy said.

“During the recession our sales dropped substantially along with those of many retailers.”

The moose theme struck a chord with Tweeds’ customers — but the recession prompted Coy to launch what would become a citywide event. “We were looking for creative ways of increasing the effectiveness of the campaign without increasing the cost,” Coy said. “But that wasn’t an option at the time with budgets dropping, so we reached out to other businesses and offered to promote them in our `Moose is Loose’ marketing materials.”

Subsequently, the event evolved into one of the main events of the year. With a red-carpet theme, a slick brochure of shopping, service and dining options, each touting a special deal, the Moose is Loose is a classy affair.

This year, Park State Bank & Trust sponsors the festival which is publicized by Perini & Associates, Molly Wells, of Design Savvy Graphics, and Melinda Truscelli, the bank’s executive assistant and director of business and community development.

“Park State Bank & Trust has recognized the value in this, to the businesses and the residents and has sponsored the event rather significantly to help us build this into something that’s even more valuable,” Coy said. “And local businesses are rolling out the red carpet.”

For 15 days in February, there’s a moose running around loose, stopping off unannounced at various places. In fact, the

In the effort to publicize the “Moose is Loose Fest,” Tanner Coy, founder of the citywide event, has decorated parts of Tweeds Fine Furnishings with a bevy of moose, including ski slopes and mountain ranges. For two weeks, a large moose will be running around Woodland Park – wherever he shows up, the businesses offers a special deal or sale.

moose may show up Friday the 13th at the Country Lodge when people will be playing karaoke.

“The moose will be there doing his best performance,” Coy said. “When the moose comes to visit, the businesses have special events and deals.”

If not karaoke with a moose, it might be dancing, playing virtual golf, making cook-

ies or ice skating at Meadow Wood Park — it’s all up to the anonymous moose. “The majority of activities are at no charge for participating in these activities,” Coy said.

“Wherever the moose goes there will be a sign and a red carpet.”

There’s even a game involved, with the prize $500 in moose bucks. Participants are asked to “make tracks on the Moose Pass”

by receiving a sticker at five of more than 30 businesses for a chance to win.

A charming part of the campaign is the essay and coloring contest. A week before the launch, Coy had received more than a dozen posters. “It’s been fascinating to see kids’ interpretation of the campaign — they definitely have made the connection between the commercial aspect and the

Monte Carlo Emporium premiers at Cripple Creek Ice Festival ‘Soft’ opening slated for Feb. 13-15, 21-23

By Sonja Oliver

Contributing writer For more than a century, the city of Cripple Creek has been a place where prospectors and entrepreneurs took a chance with hopes for success.

Gary and Wini Ledford, owners of the historic Imperial Hotel, Midland Depot Restaurant, Red Rooster Bar, Carr Manor and Gold Bar Theater have stepped up their stakes in the historic city with another business venture: the Monte Carlo Emporium, a retail endeavor catering to both tourists and locals.

After having previously renovated the Imperial Hotel and transforming the Cripple Creek High School into Carr Manor, a bed and breakfast, the Ledford’s have embraced a new vision; the establishment of the Monte Carlo Emporium to further grow the City of Cripple Creek into a destination that fulfills visitors’ expectation’s of a town reminiscent of Colorado’s Western heritage.

The Monte Carlo Emporium, located at the heart of downtown Cripple Creek at 279 E. Bennett Ave., is an multi-faceted, retail business with an emphasis on select art, antiques, home decor and unique gift items.

With its central location on Bennett Ave, Cripple Creek’s main thoroughfare, the Emporium will be a hub of activity with a portion of the ground-floor filled with antiques, works of art, gifts and, opening this summer, an old-fashioned soda fountain, ice cream parlor and hamburger cafe.

The new Monte Carlo Emporium in Cripple Creek will provide photo opportunities for visitors with an authentic gold mining cart and and pan filled with “gold.” Photo by Sonja Oliver Plans are underway to develop other venues on the upper two floors of the Bennett Avenue building as well as a revival of the historic Gold Bar Theater, located at the Imperial Hotel.

The emporium’s current inventory offerings include antiques and art that have come directly from original furnishings at the historic Imperial Hotel and a certificate documenting the authenticity of the furnishing’s origination from the Imperial Hotel will be provided for purchasers.

“This is a rare opportunity to acquire a piece of Cripple Creek’s history,” Emporium Manager Ellen Moore said.

For those who are looking for Western authenticity and original souvenirs to

retain their memories of Cripple Creek, Moore said she has select gift items including gold-dipped aspen leaves and vintage cut-glass crystals from some of the Imperial’s original chandeliers.

The Emporium will also feature quality antiques for consignment to keep their inventory fresh and relevant.

“We are trying to stay true to Colorado, Cripple Creek and the Western tradition in the way we represent our selection of art, antiques and history,” Moore said.

Some examples include: a solid-oak fireplace frame and mantle, antique copper and bronze bed frame, buffalo print with the original wooden backing and a framed 45 record of John Denver’s “Rocky Mountain High.”

In addition to the antiques and gifts, visitors to the store are treated to a vast selection of original art, signed prints and limited edition giclee prints. The Emporium also represents several bronze artists including Mark Hopkins, Victor Issa and Bob Booth and will be considering other select artist’s work to consign and display.

The Emporium will be offering select artists’ of all disciplines the opportunity to display their artwork for consignment.

The Emporium is located at the Northwest corner of Bennett Ave. and 3rd St. and will be open to shoppers during the Ice Festival event which will be held over the weekends of February 13-15 and February 21-23. For more information and hours of operation call 719-689-2561

Building a heritage

The building that now houses the Monte Carlo Emporium has played many parts in Cripple Creek’s history since 1896, when it

was built following the fires that destroyed most of the city in April of that same year.

Originally, the brick building housed shops, offices and apartments. However, for more than 50 years the building was best known to be part of the Imperial Hotel and for the melodrama plays and acts at the popular theater that brought so many visitors to the area and gave numerous actors their first break.

In 1953, the building had been purchased by Dorothy and Wayne Mackin who used it to expand their thriving hotel, restaurant and melodrama theater with additional dining space, bar, motel rooms and, later, a custom jewelry shop.

The Mackin’s sold their business in 1991 when the gaming industry came to Cripple Creek and the buildings became a part of the Imperial Hotel and Casino which closed in 2010.

Retired developers and experienced builders Gary and Wini Ledford purchased the Imperial complex in the fall of that same year, with the intent to preserve and restore the historic structures and making the hotel and restaurant into viable business enterprises, currently with continued success.

In mid-2011 the Bennett Avenue portion of the buildings was leased to Big Jim’s Gambling Hall which late closed in June of 2014.

In its new venue, the Monte Carlo Emporium provides visitors to the area with numerous retail options with antiques, artwork and gifts, and coming this summer, an old-fashioned soda fountain, ice cream parlor and hamburger cafe. For more information and hours of operation, call 719689-2561.

Foreclosures down last year

By Pat Hill

phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com Foreclosures were down by 40 percent in Teller County in 2014 from the year before.

In a report to county commissioners Feb. 5, Treasurer Bob Campbell said that fewer people lost their homes in 2014. “In the fourth quarter of last year, there were 25 foreclosures, which brings our annual total of 72 for the year,” Campbell said.

“That’s a pretty good low number, compared to the history of the last three, four, five years.”

In 2013, foreclosures totaled 119, he

added.

The long-anticipated construction project on Interstate 25 and Cimarron is now estimated to increase in cost from $95 million to $112 million, said Commissioner Norm Steen, who represents the county on the state’s transportation advisory committee.

Steen, who is also working on bringing broadband to the county, reported that requests for proposals for a planning study are due Feb. 26. “We have a number of players interested,” Steen said, emphasizing that the study’s purpose is to identify broadband needs in Teller County.

In another transportation/budget issue, the county spent $22,000 repairing

guard rails on County Road 81.

In an area devastated by the Hayman Fire in 2002 and the Waldo Canyon Fire in 2012, the appointment of commission chair Marc Dettenrieder to the state’s Emergency Fire Fund committee gives the county a heads-up.

“We do annual reports on the fund and annual assessments,” he said. “The committee basically has authority over the fiscal matters regarding the EFF.” In other business, the commissioners approved a professional services agreement with Daniel Edward Williams, with True North Consulting, to continue developing the county’s strategic plan. The amount of the fee is not to exceed $3,500.

“As you know, the strategic plan is heavily referenced and used in our budget process,” said Cathy Fabiano, the county’s deputy administrator.

Over the past several years, the county awarded the contract to Barbara RileyCunningham. “We’d like to thank Barbara Riley-Cunningham for the years of her service,” said Commissioner Dave Paul. “In this capacity, she has retired.”

As well, the commissioners approved the renewal of the contract with Mary Kay Hogan for her services as a lobbyist, at $2,500 per month. “Ms. Hogan worked well for us in the last legislative session,” Dettenrieder said, as Paul added. “It’s a little insurance.”

Pikes Peak One Act Festival held in WP

By Pat Hill

phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com For Sara Lee, theatre arts teacher at Woodland Park High School, great drama taps into emotions perhaps unexplored in the past.

As the school’s entry into the Pikes Peak One Act Festival Feb. 6, Lee selected “A Rare Condition,” by Alan Haehnel, a play about a

girl dealing with a terminal illness.

“The play is about how she interacts with her friends and family, living her last days to the fullest,” Lee said. “It’s a great lesson in appreciating every moment and truly being who you are.”

Lee is emotional over the reaction the play has generated among the students.

“The kids have just grown tremendously, especially with all the losses we’ve had here,” she said. “The play has been a very

healing play for us to do.”

Eighteen students in Lee’s advanced theatre class opened the festival with the 45-minute play. “The conversations that have come out of the play have been so profound,” Lee said.

This year, Woodland Park hosts the festival that includes 10 one-act plays from schools around the region. “Each school gets one hour to set their stage, perform and then clear the stage,” Lee said.

As the hosts of the event, the school district featured lunch catered by Lauren Stuart’s Junior Chefs who served more than 250 students.

The judges are Mel Moser from the Butte Theatre, Teri McClintock, founder of the Jr. Woodland Players, and Jenny Maloney, who performs with theatre companies in Colorado Springs. The winners will be announced next week.

‘Wrenching dramas’ to be performed at high school

By Pat Hill

phill@colorado communitymedia.com With two theatre productions at Woodland Park High School this month, Sara Lee is stretching her students’ view of the world in penetrating, sometimes wrenching, drama.

For the school’s entry into the Pikes Peak One Act Play Festival Feb. 6, Lee directed “A Rare Condition,” about a girl facing terminal illness.

In directing and producing “The Children’s Hour,” by Lillian Hellman, Lee has her students tackle the oftencontroversial subject of homosexuality. The play was written in 1934.

The protagonist is a little girl who attends a boarding school run by two women, Martha and Karen. “She is a little snot, lies about everything, and the women hold her accountable,” Lee said.

To get back at the women, the little girl tells her wealthy and powerful grandmother that Martha and Karen are lesbians. “Grandmother clears the school out and tells everybody,” Lee said.

The two women sue for liable and lose the case. One of the women is devastated by the losses that resulted from the lie, the lawsuit, her reputation and the position at the school.

“It’s very rough and sad,” Lee said.

But the turmoil causes a twist in the

drama.

Lee explains her choice of production. “We’ve done lots of comedy, melodramas and musicals and I feel it’s time to challenge our students with deep genres of theatre,” she said.

Lee is thrilled with the effect the drama has had on the students. “We’ve had the best conversations; the kids are asking questions, making comparisons,” she said. “They’re dealing with grief they didn’t know was there in a really positive way and not doing it alone.”

The cast includes actors from every grade level at the high school.

“The Children’s Hour” is at 7 p.m.

Feb. 12 and 13 in the Dickson Auditorium; tickets are $5.

Can’t get anymore stranded than that “I don’t know what they have to say. It makes no difference anyway. Whatever it is, I’m against it.” — Groucho Marx, from “Horse Feathers” Groucho actually began his career as a female impersonator, according to the March, 1974 issue of Playboy, playing a singer in a smalltime vaudeville troupe, The LeRoy Trio, in 1905.

“With the onset of puberty, and subsequent change of his voice, he was left stranded by the troupe in Cripple Creek, Colorado, and you can’t get any more stranded that,” said the magazine article.

Groucho told the tale in his book, “Groucho and Me,” which was first released in 1959. He went looking for the leader of the act, Gene LeRoy, only to find out he had been abandoned.

“I returned to our boardinghouse to question Larong (LeRoy) about our future plans, only to discover that the master showman had had hastily packed his blue kimono, his evening gown and his mascara and had taken it on the lam, never to be seen or heard from again,” according to Groucho.

After the LeRoy Trio fell apart, he tried work driving a grocery wagon between Cripple Creek and Victor.

“Though he had never seen a horse, he wrangled a job as a wagon driver until Miene or ‘Minnie’ (his mother) could send him his train fare home,” according to the Playboy article.

His next engagement ended almost as abruptly in Waco, Texas, when the Englishwoman who had hired him, ran off with a lion tamer who shared the bill.

“He then found a job cleaning actor’s wigs, which he describes as a ‘hair-raising experience.’”

His mother decide to take matters into her own hands and organized an act called the ‘Three Nightingales,’ which featured him, his brother Harpo -- who couldn’t sing at all, and a girl who sang off-key. They became the ‘Four Nightingales’ when brother Chico, who had lost his job as a lifeguard (he had to be saved

from drowning by another guard). His brother Gummo, eventually replaced the musically-challenged girl, and they became the ‘Four Marx Brothers. Gummo was later replaced by Zeppo, a younger brother.

The Four Marx Brothers knocked around vaudeville for years, finally hitting it big on Broadway in the two-year run of “I’ll Say She Is.” Other successes followed with “Cocoanuts,” and “Animal Crackers.”

Translated from Broadway to film, these and other monster smashes secured the Four Marx Brothers commercial success.

Groucho created his own solo success in radio programs like “You Bet Your Life,” which lasted until 1963, and with his brother Chico, playing the comic lawyers of ‘Flywheel, Shyster and Flywheel.’

“You can just imagine those naughty eyebrows waggling as he warbles, “She has eyes that men adore so / And a torso / Even more so,’ followed more double entendres than you can shake a stick at, if that’s your idea of a good time,” notes Ron Weskind, in his book “Groucho.”

Julius Henry (Groucho) Marx died Aug. 19, 1977, in Los Angeles, of pneumonia, at the age of 86.

Thomas Edison’s star is still burning bright Thomas Alva Edison, the “Wizard of Menlo Park,” is one of the greatest inventors in the history of the world. In his 84 years, Edison acquired a record 1,093 United States patents (singly or jointly) and was the driving force behind such innovations as the phonograph, the incandescent light bulb and one of the earliest motion picture cameras.

Of his patents, 389 were for electric light and power, 195 for the phonograph, 150 for the telegraph, 141 for storage batteries and 34 for the telephone.

But those are just a sampling of his greatest inventions, or refinements to inventions.

Born Feb. 11, 1847, in Milan, Ohio, Edison, known mostly by “Al” as a youth, went to school only a few months. His teachers thought he was very slow.

His mother taught him at home, and then he later taught himself by reading constantly and trying experiments in the basement.

He never attended any technical school, college or university. In later life, he said that his mother was the person most responsible for his success.

Edison had strong opinions about education. Most schools, he believed, taught children to memorize facts, when they ought to have students observe nature and to make things with their hands.

“I like the Montessori method,” he said. “It teaches through play. It makes learning a pleasure. It follows the natural instincts of the human being . . . The present system casts the brain into a mold. It does not encourage original thought or reasoning.”

One of Edison’s best-known quotes is: “Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.”

Edison received his first patent - U.S. Patent 0,090,646 - Electrographic VoteRecorder, in 1869. The device permitted a “yes” or “no” vote via one of two switches. Washington D.C. congressmen were not interested in the device and the

invention was unsuccessful.

Despite what most people have probably heard, Edison did not invent the first light bulb. For at least fifty years before Edison, inventors tried to light the world using electricity.

The inventors worked with two kinds of electric light: arc lighting, which is bright enough to light a city street, and incandescent lighting, which is soft enough for use indoors.

Charles Brush started his arc lighting business in 1877, two years before Edison’s breakthroughs with incandescent lighting.

Two things set Edison’s use of the light bulb apart from other inventors.

In 1879, he made an incandescent bulb that burned long enough to be practical and long enough to light a home for many hours. Then he and his employees invented the entire system needed to bring electricity into a home; dynamos to make the electric power, wires and fuses, and switches to turn the lights on and off. He basically invented the electric power system.

After Edison found success with his light bulb he is known to have stated: “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”

Edison was more than a gadget guy.

Among his patents was a way to preserve fruits and vegetables; patent 0,248,431, issued March 18, 1883.

Edison also earned at least several hundred - perhaps more than a thousand - foreign patents from Great Britain, France, Germany and other coun-

tries. Most of his foreign patents were similar to the American ones.

He also created the world’s first industrial research laboratory. He did most of his work in Menlo Park, New Jersey, and had become one of the most famous men in the world by the time he was in his 30s.

Of all the Edison stories I have ever read, it is his influence on film making I find most interesting. Edison invented the vitascope, essentially the first true film projector. Actually, others had a hand in inventing it, but Edison’s company built and marketed the product in the late 1890s. He was thus labeled the father of the motion picture.

Edison became obsessed with competitors. A decade later, after owning many of the patents to motion picture technology, the Motion Picture Patents Company came into existence. Composed of all the big film companies and known as the Edison Trust, the MPCC monopoly eventually became such a hindrance to producers and filmmakers that they fled the East Coast and headed to California. They tried to get far enough away from Edison’s Menlo Park headquarters so that they could make movies without fear of harassment from the trust. Thus, Hollywood was born.

Edison made the first “Frankenstein” movie in 1910. It was 13 minutes long.

After years of heated legal battles with his competitors in the fledgling motionpicture industry, Edison had stopped working with moving film by 1918.

Edison was given his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Feb. 8, 1960.

Edison also had success developing an alkaline storage battery, which he originally worked on as a power source for the phonograph but later supplied for submarines and electric vehicles.

In 1912, automaker Henry Ford asked Edison to design a battery for the selfstarter, which would be introduced on the iconic Model T.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor: Ding-Dong — It’s the Green Mountain Board of Trustees!

Again the GMF Board of Trustees called for a special meeting Tuesday night Jan. 27. The meeting which was called to order at 8:01 p.m. was to receive legal updates on “municipal contracts.” When the Attorney Matt Krob was asked which municipal contracts he stated the contracts were drafts and therefore not subject to the open records act. The public was cleared from the

room at 8:06 PM for the executive session.

Myself, Mac Pitrone and Jane Newberry were representing the public until the executive session ended and the meeting reconvened to determine if any issue discussed in executive session would be voted upon. It seemed unusual for the town clerk to leave the building a few minutes after the executive session started since the town clerk’s minutes need to reflect when the session ended, the meeting reconvened and when the meeting is adjourned.

We started to wait at 8:06 p.m. — and we waited until 9 p.m. — and we waited until 10 p.m. At that time I decided to leave and opened the door to exit. The loud “dingdong” doorbell went on and I then stepped back into the waiting area. I said to the two remaining people, “I wonder if I ring this doorbell two more times they will think we have all left and end the meeting?!” We all Letter continues on Page 9

Towns from another time I talked a while back about the town named Divide that we do not think of as that. I have a big map of Colorado from the 1890s. From time to time I spend a few minutes looking around at towns that are not around now. Some of these were not really towns, as we think of them, but usually railroad stations.

One hundred and twenty-five years ago, the railroads — and there was hardly a spot in Colorado that was not near a line — had stations about every five miles. The fun comes in when, like Divide, there are several of the same name. It was because of the post office that they had to sort out this problem.

Even around here there were stations on the railroad that really were not in the town whose name they carried.

One of my favorites is on the Air Force

Academy, called Husted. The first station came before there was a town. It was about underneath the bridge that comes from Interstate 25 to the academy’s north gate. It was on the Denver and Rio Grande.

Later there was another on the Santa Fe, almost two miles away. It was south of the I-25 exit at the north gate. It was on the old road before the interstate was

built. It went away when the academy was built.

Some of the names of these towns are still with us, because many had roads with their name on them. Others have been absorbed into other towns. For example on the academy there also was a town called Edgerton. It has had several names. Just north of the academy was a station called Pring. Both of these are named for families that lived in the area.

That happened often when they added stations after the line was built.

Some of my favorites are out on the plains. The Missouri Pacific built to Pueblo in the 1890s. Their stations are in alphabetical order, except for some that either were established before the railroad arrived, or changed them. Now these are on Colorado 96, like Brandon,

Chivington, Eads and Galatea.

Yes, there was an A, and D named station, but they are gone now. In other places they used company officers for town names. Out on the old Rock Island is Flagler and Seibert, also down in Colorado Springs was Roswell, all early officials of the line.

Out there on the plains also is Firstview, which was originally on the Kansas Pacific, now the Union Pacific. It was the spot where they saw the Front Range the first time, when they were building the railroad west. It is near Cheyenne Wells, which was there before the railroad.

Places like Parker, Elizabeth and even Elbert used to be railroad stations. Now there is barely a clue that there ever was one. Fortunately they are still there, but most of the little railroad stops are gone

Why we age: One of two things you can count on It is said there are two things you can count on in life … death and taxes. The establishment in 1862 of the office of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue guaranteed taxes as a sure thing, however, the process of aging that results in death, is not as easily understood.

The study of aging … gerontology … is a relatively new science that has made incredible progress over the last thirty years.

In the past, scientists searched for a single theory that explained aging, which focused on two main bodies of thought.

The first set of aging theories states that aging is natural and programmed into the body, while the second hypothesis claims that aging is the result of damage that is accumulated over time. With baby-boomers only a banana peel away from “old-age,” rest assured there will be a ton of research money spent trying to figure out how and why we age.

Let’s take a look at a few of the major theories on aging with the thought in mind that a theory may be best defined as a clus-

ter of conclusions in search of a premise.

Currently, the two most widely accepted premise on aging are “wear-and-tear” theories and “genetic” theories.

Simply put, the “wear-and-tear” theory suggests that all cells, tissues, organs and systems of the body wear out as a result of continual use throughout life. This group of scientific thought, also, contends that internal bodily damage may hasten the aging process.

For instance, free radicals, which are scavenger molecules within the body that seek electrons from other molecules, and

cell disease are internal mechanisms that may promote aging and eventually death.

Also, under the umbrella of this concept is linking aging to external environmental agents, such as carcinogens, pollutants, viruses and radiation that may advance cell damage.

The genetic theorists, on the other hand, propose that all genes in the human body are age-coded from birth to death, which supports the concept that the life of human cells has a biological clock. Proponents of this theory point to chronological changes that occur throughout life, such as puberty in children, menopause in women and andropause in men, as proof positive.

And to include a wild-card, quite a few scientists are presently investigating the “Caloric Restriction Hypothesis” as the key to aging by better understanding why calorie restriction retards aging in rats.

Research has demonstrated that when rats consume 30 to 50 percent fewer calories,

while still getting an adequate amount of nutrients, they manage to avoid some of the major diseases of aging and increase their life span.

The underlying premise of this theory is that calorie restriction limits injury from highly reactive free radicals in the body to the cell’s mitochondria, which is the power plant of the cell.

While the gerontologists try to figure out this aging thing, I’d suggest you try to keep in mind the sage advice of Mark Twain, who said, “Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.”

laughed. I opened the door for one more “ding-dong” and then a third time as I exited.

Mac Pitrone reported it was 20 seconds after I left that the town attorney opened the meeting doors surprised to see two people still present. They were invited back in, the meeting reconvened at 10:14 p.m., they said everything discussed was attorney/client privilege and the meeting was adjourned at 10:15 p.m.

So what was really going on? How could a discussion of “municipal contracts” last over two hours since the only existing municipal contract appears to be the contract with the Town Attorney? If other contracts were discussed could they have been employee related? And why did the meeting immediately end after the doorbell rang several times?

Just another example of the continuing lack of transparency by this unprofessional governing body.

Matthews launches Black Bear Distillery

By Pat Hill

phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com Ancient stones, barley soaked in the water of Green Mountain Falls and donkeys employed as grinders, Victor Matthews has discovered the old-time recipe for Irish whiskey and Irish moonshine.

By this summer, Ute Pass residents can expect to taste the whiskey and take a tour through the Black Bear Distillery in Green Mountain Falls.

To accommodate his latest adventure, Matthews has completely torn out the kitchen of the former restaurant to make room for the distillery. The donkeys will be housed outside.

Matthews’ enthusiasm for all things gustatory is boundless. “What’s happening now is so amazing,” he said.

Granted, last year he was bent on distilling bourbon — but the process hit a few bureaucratic snags, so, in typical Matthews’ fashion, he’s on to something even bolder.

Matthews is a story teller. “I saw a video of this old Irish guy; he’s taking sacks of barley and soaking them in the creek to let them germinate and sprout,” he said. “And that’s how you malt the barley.”

Inspired by the “old Irish guy,” who was malting sometime in the late 1800s, Matthews took a trip back in time to repeat the process — but added the donkeys. “It occurred to me that I could track down farmers in Colorado, get a non-GMO (genetically modified organism) barley, soak it in the creek, the lake, or the well water here, to sprout it,” he said. “Let that sprout for a couple of days and that’s the process known as malting.”

For Mathews, malting is just one step.

“If I did just that, that would be crazy enough,” he said. “But that was the tip of the iceberg.”

Victor Matthews, of the famous Black Bear restaurant in Green Mountain Falls, is using ancient stones as barley grinders for his Irish whiskey. The stones were uncovered by a homeowner in Conifer. Photos by Pat Hill

Black Bear building is key

Matthews warms up to the story where the 1957-era building plays a vital role in the whiskey caper. For instance, the wood floor on the second level of the Black Bear, a former apartment, is the malting floor.

“The hard part is that you have to spread the barley out on the floor and turn it while it germinates,” he said.

The story expands and includes a snow shovel. “Split the bags open, or leave the barley in the bags, because you turn it with a snow shovel,” he said. “Because otherwise it will overheat, so you turn and aerate it. That’s why you need a malting floor.”

From malting to drying, Matthews hauls the barley downstairs to the fireplace in the former dining room.

“In Ireland they would dry the barley in big kilns,” he said. “The reason that Scotch tastes like it does is that they used peat from the bogs to make the fire, so they smoke and dry the barley.”

But Matthews isn’t making Scotch.

Turns out the Black Bear has one of the largest fireplaces in the state, one that bears the mark of the late Oscar Lindholm of Green Mountain Falls. A well-known blacksmith, Lindholm crafted the tools for the fireplace.

“We’ll build a fire, let it come down to smoldering, throw wet pieces of aspen to create smoke,” he said. “Then we’ll put the

Victor Matthews has left no barrel unturned in his new venture of making Irish whiskey. Matthews is pictured in the former bar at the Black Bear - which today features a backdrop of barrels as decorative art. racks full of barley in there, so now we’re roasting the barley in this fireplace.”

A snapshot of the process, he said, is that the barley is house-malted, creeksoaked and fireplace-dried. “So now we’re into less-than-10-in-the-world doing this,” he said.

Grinding with donkeys

The next step is grinding the dried barley. But Matthews couldn’t use just any

normal grinder, which could run up to $50,000.

“There’s a guy in Conifer who found two giant stones (buried) in his yard,” he said.

The stones are the base and the top for an ancient stone-grinding set that probably came from a mill in France, he said.

“Now we’re talking about stone grinding with in-house stones that no one’s done in over 100 years,” he said.

And here come the donkeys. “Guess

what? We have to turn those wheels,” he said.

That’s where the animal power comes in. “We’re looking at donkeys or draft horses that are going to be housed here to run this (stone) wheel,’ he said. “It’s not strenuous work but you do need something that doesn’t mind walking in a circle for a couple of hours.”

Once ground, the barley mash resembles rough whole wheat or rolled oats.

“When you cook it, the enzymes turn the starches into sugar and the yeast, which will be proprietary, will turn those sugars into alcohol,” he said. “At that point it’s called `distiller’s beer’ and put in the still, which is being made by a coppersmith in Maine.”

As he did with the Black Bear restaurant, Matthews plans to distinguish the town in yet another way.

“When you add in the fireplace, the stones and the donkeys, you have the most artisan distillery in the entire world,” he said. “Literally, they’re going to be looking at Green Mountain Falls from Scotland, Ireland and Japan trying to utilize something like this. “ Matthews admits the process is out-ofthe-box. “The Black Bear Distillery is going to be the new definition of what craft and artisan means in the distillery world,” he said. “People think I’m crazy, they always have, but I’m telling you right now they’re going to book flights from Scotland to come here.”

75 turn out for tasting at Lake George Library Cook-off

By Sonja Oliver

Contributing writer The 2015 Lake George Library Annual Community Cook-off and Tasting Party held on January 31 brought out the best of Lake George chefs with community members bringing in their favorite egg recipes for an “EGGstravaganza” themed event.

More than 75 people attended the annual fundraiser to support the local library with 32 cooks submitting 34 dishes for the community to sample.

“We made a little under $400 which will be used to support the Lake George Library in a couple of ways. (Some of the money will be used) to buy books and DVD’s and some will be used to buy supplies for a new Science Fun Day program,” Library Assistant Tonya Favinger said.

Collaboration of schools enhances reading

By Pat Hill phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com In a time when collaboration is recognized as an effective teaching tool, one that spawns creativity, an evening devoted to literacy reflects the efficacy of working together.

Parents and students from Columbine, Gateway and Summit elementary schools gathered Jan. 27 at Gateway in Woodland Park to play literary games, read, write poetry and do artistic projects.

With a theme based on vehicle terms, such as “Power Up Your Engines with Poetry, or “Driving Away with State Testing,” where parents were able to view samples of state tests, and a game called “Fast Track,” the names were intended to convey a message about literacy.

Sponsored by the Pikes Peak International Reading Association, the schools and the district, Gearing Up for Literacy, attracted more than 300 students and parents.

Each child took home a book provided by the association.

“The goal of this was, not only to have children engaged in literacy activities, but also to have their parents come on board, engage with them and see the activities,” said Claudia Miller, fifth-grade teacher at Columbine and board member of PPIRA. “The evening was intended to spawn interest and provide a background for parents to carry on literacy at home. That was the big picture of it.”

The evening highlighted the district’s focus on encouraging a love of reading and writing. “It was the most beautiful evening, the most collaborative experience that I’ve had since I’ve been here. And Gateway was a wonderful host for us.”

Gateway principal added, “This is the first time all three elementary schools hosted a combined Literacy family event and it was a huge success!” said Kay Lynn Waddell. “We thank the Pikes Peak International Reading Association for their support and helping make this event possible.”

Who says kids don’t get thrilled with a new book? Here, Hadassah McRoberts shows her pleasure at receiving a free book at the Gearing Up for Literacy event Jan. 27. Courtesy photos Students from Columbine, Gateway and Summit elementary schools celebrated reading at Gearing up for Literacy! Night Jan. 27. With games, books and activities, the evening promoted reading as a path to comprehensive education.

Students from the three elementary schools in Woodland Park and Divide got excited over all the free books at the Gearing up for Literacy night Jan. 27 at Gateway Elementary School.

Basketball playoff hopes take a hit for Lady Panthers Woodland Park girls split a pair of games last week; boys remain winless

By Danny Summers

dsummers@coloradocommunitymedia. com The Woodland Park High School girls’ basketball team kept its playoff hopes alive with a victory over Harrison, 42-37 on Feb. 3. But a crushing 67-41 loss to Sierra on three days later may have ended those dreams.

The Panthers (10-9, 4-6 in the Class 4A Metro League) are two games back of Sierra for third place in league. The top three teams are guaranteed to make the post season. Five additional at-large teams will fill out the 32-team state bracket.

Woodland Park can still earn an automatic bid, but the road will be tough. The Panthers lost both league games against Sierra, so the Stallions own any tie breaker.

The chances of catching Canon City (190, 10-0) and Mesa Ridge (12-7, 8-2) are slim since the Panthers lost big in the first meetings with those clubs. Canon City is the No. 1 ranked team in the state.

Woodland Park’s other two remaining league games are against Mitchell (9-9, 2-7) and The Classical Academy (3-15, 0-10).

No matter how the season ends for the Panthers, it will go down as the most successful in school history record wise. No Woodland Park team had ever reached double digits in victories before this season.

The previous high for wins was nine.

Woodland Park will lose six seniors to graduation - four of them starters - but should return a strong team next season.

Among the top underclassmen is sophomore Mackenzie Porter, whose 12.8 points per game leads the team.

The Woodland Park boys lost to Harrison, 63-43, on Feb. 3. Senior forward/center Sam Hopfe scored a team-high 14 points, while junior guard Dominik Cunico added 13 for the Panthers.

Woodland Park led 12-8 at the end of the first quarter and it looked like the Panthers might get their first victory of the season.

But Harrison, also called the Panthers, by 10 in the second quarter to take command of the game.

Woodland Park lost to Sierra, 100-46, on Feb. 6 to fall to 0-19, 0-10.

Sierra scored at least 20 points in every quarter and built a 56-25 halftime lead.

Four players scored in double figures for the Stallions.

Woodland Park has lost all but one game this season by double digits. But the future of the program is bright as just two seniors graduate - Sam Hopfe (the team’s leading scorer) and Justin Logsdon.

Arseneau signs for Lamar Woodland Park setter Kelsey Arseneau is excited about opportunity to play in college

By Danny Summers

dsummers@coloradocommunitymedia. com Kelsey Arseneau was all smiles as she sat center stage in the Woodland Park High School library on Feb. 4. That’s because she was being honored by her classmates and school as she signed her national letter of intent to play volleyball at Lamar Community College.

“It feels so great to know all my hard work has paid off,” said Arseneau, who was a setter and right side hitter for the Panthers. “I spent a lot of time in the weight room and I did a lot of stuff with my vertical.”

Arseneau was recruited by Lamar coach Brandon Stephenson to play setter. The Runnin’ Lopes were 20-13 last season.

Lamar is about a four-hour drive from Woodland Park. The closest game Lamar will play next season is at Otero College in La Junta, about two hours from Woodland Park.

“Lamar has a really well-rounded team and a great coach,” Arseneau said. “I just feel comfortable in the town and with the team and with the college.”

Arseneau did a lot of her own recruiting work.

“I got some video of us practicing and me setting and sent it to the Lamar coach,” she said. “He emailed me back and I went to Lamar for a tryout in November.”

Arseneau added that she contacted a few other schools in Colorado, but drew the most interest from Lamar.

Arseneau split time at setter with Jenny Lau last season. When she wasn’t setting she played right side hitter. Woodland Park finished 15-8 and enjoyed one its best seasons in several years.

Arseneau plays club volleyball for a team based in Woodland Park.

She played basketball her first three years at Woodland Park. She sat out this season to concentrate on volleyball.

Arseneau joins a growing list of former Woodland Park players that are playing volleyball in college.

Carli Vahsholtz, Paloma Juarros and Elin Saxon are all at Bethany College in Lindsborg, Kansas, and Hannah Sauer is at Western State in Gunnison.

Lewis-Palmer and Pine Creek set to skate in Woodland Park Winter Hockey Classic will take place Feb. 14 at Meadow Wood Park

By Danny Summers

dsummers@colorad communitymedia.com Woodland Park will again be host to the 2nd Annual Winter Classic Feb. 14 at the Meadow Wood Park Ice Rink.

The unique outdoor game will again feature Lewis-Palmer and Pine Creek high schools. Game time is scheduled for 6 p.m.

Lewis-Palmer won last year’s match 5-2. The game time temperature was 12 degrees as a steady snow fell throughout the match. Pine Creek led 2-1 at the end of the first period, but the Rangers got three secondperiod goals to take control

of the game.

The first game was the brainchild of Pine Creek coach Ken Martel, who made the arrangements with the City of Woodland Park and the Woodland Park Hockey Association.

This year, organizers had hoped to have two Winter Classic games; the other one featuring Palmer, which has four students from Woodland Park on its team.

“There were various internal politics and turf wars trying to get a District 11 game up here with Palmer,” said Bill Edie, one of the organizers for the event and the rink maintenance coordinator for the Woodland Park Hockey Association.

“We’re hoping to get an earlier start next year and pin down the right people and athletic directors and get everybody on the same sheet.”

Lewis-Palmer, which won back-to-back state championships in 2009 and 2010, is 8-7, 7-4 in the Peak League. Pine Creek is 7-5-1, 5-3-1.

Lewis-Palmer and Pine Creek will play in the 2nd Annual Winter Hockey Classic at the Meadow Wood Sports Complex in Woodland Park on Feb. 14. Game time is scheduled for 6 p.m. Last year’s game (pictured here) was full of fun and snow. Courtesy photo

Ute Pass Kiwanis sponsors fundraiser

By Pat Hill

phill@colorado communitymedia.com An opportunity to indulge the appetites while helping the children of Teller County, the annual Taste of the Grape has become a tradition.

“This event is the only true winetasting in Teller County,” said Sandy Bridgewater, public relations for the Ute Pass Kiwanis Club which sponsors the event. “There will be wines that stretch outside of Colorado, international wines and some from California.”

The fundraiser follows a national trend of pairing wines with today’s food styles, she added. Taste of the Grape shines a light on area restaurants and features appetizers and desserts along with the fruit of the

grape. This year’s tasting includes beer from Paradox brewing and Ute Pass Brewery.

Among past beneficiaries of the fundraiser are students at the high schools for a scholarship program, Court Appointed Special Advocate, Rampart Library District and Ronald McDonald House. “Almost anything that benefits children, we’ve donated to,” Bridgewater said.

The event is from 7 to 9 p.m. Feb. 20 at the Ute Pass Cultural Center.

Tickets are $25 in advance, $30 at the door and are available at Gold Hills Liquor whose owner, Mark Fusaris, is coordinating the tastings.

At press time, the restaurants donating food are the Swiss Chalet, A.J.’s Pizza, Carmen’s, Sweet Escapes and the Country Lodge Pub. For information, call 219-229-3666.
