WP plant expansion ready to go Project will take three years, cost $8.2M

By Norma Engelberg Contributing writer

The loans are guaranteed and a consultant has been hired but there won’t be much to see at least until 2016 now that Woodland Park has embarked on its wastewater treatment plant expansion project.

City Utilities Director Kip Wiley and John McGinn, of JDS-Hydro Consultants Inc., conducted a public meeting on Sept.

17 to explain the process for expanding and updating the city’s 20-year-old plant.

Unfortunately, with the exception of a few city officials, the public was notably absent.

McGinn said the existing plant was extremely well planned but wastewater conditions and regulations have changed during the past two decades.

One change is growth, which has increased wastewater’s organic load even as water conservation has lowered its hydraulic component.

“This is happening in many Front Range communities,” McGinn said. “Your plant does really well on organic loading.”

The existing plant is working at 111 percent of capacity for organic loading and is still meeting state clean-wastewater standards, Wiley said. Other communities are not doing as well, McGinn added.

Other changes come from the state in

the form of new and pending legislation.

“Wastewater treatment regulations always change and they never get easier; they’re always more stringent,” McGinn said. “Technology also advances – there are better ways to clean up wastewater.”

In the past, wastewater treatment has focused on organic materials, but now the focus is also on nutrient removal, first nitrogen and then, by 2022, phosphorus.

“That’s what’s around the corner in the wastewater world,” McGinn said, adding that the expansion will also take advantage of new ultraviolet technology that does away with the use of chlorine and sulfur dioxide gases for disinfection.

McGinn said a preliminary engineering report was conducted in 2008 when Jim Schultz was the utilities director. At that time, the plant was performing well and the plans for expansion were put on hold.

Now, six years later, a new preliminary engineering study has been conducted and submitted to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, which has given its approval.

Through its revolving loan fund, which is administered by state health, Colorado has guaranteed the $8.2 million loan the city will take out to complete the project.

Because of its “green” component, $2 million of the loan will be interest free; the other $6.2 million will likely have an interest rate of no more than 3.5 percent. Debt repayment should take 20 years.

Wiley said the expansion should have no impact on rates. “We’ll review rates again in five years,” he added.

Expansion timeline and components

The final design contract should be awarded by city council in November. Site approval is set for February by the city with comments from state health. The process design report should be finished in May and plans and specifications will be submitted to the state in July. The city should receive comments from state health next September. The final plan should go to bid

in November/December 2015 and should be awarded the following February. Most of the construction should be completed

by August 2016 but finishing up will likely go into 2017, McGinn said.

The expansion will have seven components: Expansion continues on Page 22

Group approves resolution accepting funds for a U.S. 24 traffic study

By Norma Engelberg Contributing writer

With only one resolution, one appointment and no ordinances on its Sept. 18 meeting agenda, Woodland Park City Council heard several presentations.

These included an update from Mike Perini on the USA Pro Challenge Cycling Race Stage 5 Start on Aug. 22 in Woodland Park and an update from Downtown Development Authority CEO and Economic Development Director Brian Fleer.

First, however, Mayor Neil Levy accepted a special poster/plaque from the Above the Clouds Cruisers Club acknowledging the city’s continued help with the Cruise Above the Clouds Car Show. Later Levy accepted an appointment to the Utilities Advisory Board.

Perini said the race brought 8,000 to 10,000 spectators to Woodland Park and prompted Pro Challenge CEO and co-chair Shawn Hunter to say during an interview on 850 KOA radio show that Woodland Park had the biggest crowd he had ever seen.

“We were mentioned in media around the world,” Perini said.

“That kind of promotion is priceless.”

During the 2013 budget season, City Manager David Buttery asked for $65,000 from to bring the start to Woodland Park.

“I underestimated the cost,” he said. “The total expenses were $152,000. We made $62,000 in direct revenues and spent $90,000.”

He added that most of expenditures went to local businesses and that many these goods pur-

Every year the mayor of Woodland Park chooses the winner of the Mayor’s Award at the Cruise Above the Clouds. This year Mayor Neil Levy gave the award to this 21-window 1972 VW van. He said it’s hard to believe that this vehicle is now worth more than $100,000. Photos by Norma Engelberg chased are reusable. Donations from 25 partners, including WalMart, Peak Internet, UPS and the Woodland Park Chamber of Commerce, also helped defray costs.

The indirect revenues, including sales taxes, have not yet been calculated.

Of course, it didn’t help that the weather was the worst in the race’s four-year history.

“Mother Nature is not a cyclist,” Perini said. “The bottom line is about exposure, about a moment in time, you can’t put a price on that. One youth summed it up when he said ‘My town is fi-

nally cool!’”

There will be a “Hot Wash” meeting with Pro Challenge officials on Oct. 22 at the Ute Pass Cultural Center.

Council approved a resolution to accept an $80,000 Colorado Department of Transportation grant to conduct a traffic study of U.S. 24 through town. The city’s match is $13,768. The study is expected to take six to nine months.

Councilmember Gary Brovetto said he hopes the study will come up ways to make the city more pedestrian friendly.

“That’s what we anticipate but

we’ll have to wait and see,” said Public Works Director William Alspach. “The study will look at different routes … there might be things we can do ourselves.”

During public comment, Tom Lichina, owner of Lichina Automotive, told council he will not improve drainage at his site even though that was a condition of the conditional use permit he received at the Sept. 4 meeting allowing him to expand.

“That’s not in my budget,” he said. “This is the worst Park Street has ever been; people are parking on both sides and have turned it into a one-lane street. It would only cost you $20,000 to fill in the ditch and give me back the parking you stole from me when Woodland Hardware went in.”

Buttery said the city didn’t steal his parking because the public parking lot that was located across the street wasn’t his. He explained that other city public parking lots are located on private land because the city has an agreement with the property owners. Because of that agreement, the property owners do not have designated parking within these lots.

Alspach said the city hasn’t allocated funds to fill the ditch because Park is just one section of nearly 55 miles of streets the city manages.

“I deserve that ditch to be filled in,” Lichina said.

Councilmember Bob Carlsen said he would bring up the subject at budget hearings this fall and see what can be done about it.

Carlsen said a public information meeting is planned for Oct. 6 at the Ute Pass Cultural Center on the aquatic center bond question on the November ballot and Council continues on Page 22

Palmer Land Trust Awards offered Oct. 16 Staff report Registration for Palmer Land Trust’s 5th Annual Southern Colorado Conservation Awards is officially open.

The event features a farm-to-table dinner and a film premier highlighting the work of this year’s winners.

The event will take place on Oct. 16 at 5 p.m. at the Cheyenne Mountain Resort, 3225 Broadmoor Valley Road, in Colorado Springs.

Each year, Colorado loses an average of 90,000 acres of land to development. This

type of land conversion affects the Coloradoan’s very own identity in the west by converting large open spaces, significant wildlife habitat, recreational opportunities, historic farms and ranches and those scenic views that fill back yards. But each year, southern Colorado tackles those threats with some of the greatest successes in land and water conservation – successes that are championed by people who devote their lives to the protection this unique region by making innovative, educational and advancing strides to ensure a sustainable future. On Oct. 16,

Palmer Land Trust will honor five of these conservation trendsetters at the SCCA. This year’s award recipients are: Steve Wooten – Stuart P. Dodge Award in recognition of lifetime achievement Nancy Butler, Executive Director of the Rio Grande Headwaters Land Trust – The Friends of Open Space Award in recognition of recent land protection achievements The Coalition of the Upper South Platte – Stewardship Award in Conservation The Mile High Youth Corps, Colorado Springs – Stewardship Award in Educa-

tion in recognition of exceptional environmental stewardship Gary & Georgia Walker of Turkey Creek Ranch – Innovation in Conservation Award in recognition of innovative projects and programs Scott Campbell – honorary recognition Registration is open online at palmerlandtrust.org The event phone number is 719-6323236, Ext. 102.

El Paso County Commission names ‘Creek Week’ Staff report The Board of El Paso County Commissioners at its regular meeting on Thursday approved a proclamation proclaiming Sept. 27 through Oct. 5, as “Creek Week” in El Paso County, and encouraged all citizens to help protect, restore and maintain the waterways by participating in “Creek Week” activities.

“Creek Week” is a week-long; clean-up effort that begins at the Colorado Sustainability Conference on Sept. 27 and runs through Oct. 5 with a special added project on Oct. 11 in Fountain Creek Regional

Park.

“Citizens of El Paso County are blessed with extensive and diverse natural resources, including forests, grasslands, riparian areas, lakes, creeks and a wide variety of open spaces,” said Chair Dennis Hisey as he read the proclamation into the record.

“Fountain Creek, along with its tributaries and related wetlands, trails, and recreational opportunities, is an important resource and asset to the people of El Paso, Teller and Pueblo counties.”

“This is something that affects the entire community,” Hisey added.

Citizens can either join a public clean-

up or lead their own group or individual effort.

“We believe in good stewardship of our parks and waterways,” said Commissioner Sallie Clark. “We have an incredible volunteer base. It’s a water quality issue, and it is a quality of life issue.”

The Fountain Creek Watershed Flood Control and Greenway District is partnering with El Paso County, City of Colorado Springs, the Trails and Open Space Coalition, and other organizations on “Creek Week” to promote cleanup, restoration and maintenance of the Fountain Creek watershed. Area businesses, churches, schools,

nonprofits, neighborhood associations, youth groups, service clubs and individuals are encouraged to form a “Creek Crew” to assist at a “Creek Week” project site: Pick a work date, pick a location, and pick it up.

To register for events in Fountain Creek Regional Park, contact dananordstrom@ elpasoco.com. Information, including “Creek Crew” registration details, can be found at fountain-crk.org under the Creek Week Cleanup icon. Keep America Beautiful and Lowes awarded a $20,000 Community Beautification grant to support “Creek Week” activities.

Tularemia found in wild rabbit in northeast Colorado Springs Staff report El Paso County Public Health confirmed Tuesday, Sept. 16, that a wild rabbit in northeast Colorado Springs died of tularemia infection, and are asking residents to remain cautious around wild animals.

The rabbit was tested after a resident in the Park Vista subdivision, located near Austin Bluffs Parkway and Stetson Hills Boulevard, found several dead wild rabbits near a property and notified Public Health.

Laboratory tests confirmed the animal died of tularemia, also known as “rabbit fever.”

Tularemia was also confirmed in wild rabbits near Yoder, in eastern El Paso County, in late August. No human cases of infection have been reported. Public health specialists continue to monitor tularemia activity, and are providing public -health information to residents in the area.

Residents who find dead animals, especially wild rabbits, on their property are advised to dispose of animals by taking the following steps: apply insect repellent, wear gloves, and use a shovel to place the remains in a double trash bag. Dispose in a trash receptacle. Wash hands well with warm soapy water.

“Because tularemia is endemic in El Paso County, precautions to prevent tularemia infection should always be taken,” said Program Manager Lee Griffen, REHS. “Now that tularemia is confirmed in more populated, urban areas, it’s important to take steps to protect pets and children by keeping them away from wild animals.”

Tularemia is a bacterial infection most commonly transmitted to humans by the handling of sick or dead animals infected with tularemia. Infection can also arise from the bite of infected insects, most commonly ticks and deer flies. Hunt-

ers who skin animals without gloves and are exposed to infected blood through an open wound are also at risk.

Typical signs of infection in humans are similar to plague and include fever, chills, headache, muscle aches, chest pain and coughing. Tularemia can be effectively treated with antibiotics. Those who have any of these early signs are urged to contact their medical provider. El Paso County’s last reported human case of tularemia occurred in 2010.

Dogs and cats also get tularemia by eating infected rabbits or other rodents and through tick and deer fly bites. If one’s pet shows symptoms of illness including fever, nasal and eye discharge and skin sores, owners are advised to take it to the veterinarian promptly. Tularemia is easily treated if diagnosed early in dogs and cats.

Recommended precautions include: Do not handle sick animals. If a dead

animal must be moved, follow the steps outlined above.

Leash pets when outdoors and keep them away from dead animals. When outdoors near places where wild rabbits or rodents are present, wear an insect repellent containing DEET. Wear proper footwear outdoors where dead animals have been found.

Routinely use a tick and flea preventative on pets. Avoid mowing over dead animals.

Those who hunt, trap or skin animals can take these additional steps: Use impervious gloves when skinning or handling animals, especially rabbits. Cook the meat of wild rabbits thoroughly to a temperature of 165 degrees or higher.

Urology clinic opens at PPRH September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month

By Pat Hill phil@coloradocommunitymedia.com First up was the 15-bed hospital dedicated Oct. 1, 2007, in Woodland Park. As time went by, Pikes Peak Regional Hospital added physicians while expanding health services.

This month, Pikes Peak Urology opened an office in the hospital building to see patients once a month.

“As we have seen the city grow and the hospital develop we wanted to expand and provide a service that is lacking,” said Richard Walsh, M.D. “We have quite a few patients from Teller County and obviously would like to shorten their travel time.”

A fitting announcement last week, as September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. “We educate our patients on the importance of screening,” Walsh said.

For men between the ages of 55 and 70, Walsh recommends annual screenings. “If they have a family history we’d broaden that age range,” he said.

The clinic offers pediatric and adult urology services, including robotic surgery, radiation therapy and vasectomy. As well, the physicians treat female voiding dysfunction. “That’s the broad spectrum of what we do,” he said. “Nearly a third of what urology does is female-related.”

Moody named outstanding trustee Woman recognized by state library association

By Pat Hill

phil@coloradocommunitymedia.com Sylvia Moody has been named Outstanding Library Trustee by the Colorado Association of Libraries. Moody, board chair of the Rampart Library District since 2011, was instrumental in bringing to fruition the new libraries in Woodland Park and Florissant.

“Sylvia served on the development, election and building committees,” said Anne Knowles, executive director of the Rampart Range Library District. “The ideas had to be developed, community surveys done, public opinions changed, funds raised, land obtained, buildings designed, 2 mill levies passed and Sylvia was front-and-center on this.”

Voracious reader whose interest in education propelled her service to the library, Moody is a 17-year volunteer, beginning in the little log cabin, the original location of the Woodland Park library.

When the new libraries opened in 2004, Moody joined the district’s board of directors.

In addition to the library district, Moody served on the Ute Pass Symphony Guild, the board of directors of the Holiday Home Tour and the Westwood Lakes Homeowners’ Association.

“Sylvia has been a strong and handson leader to all the organizations she has been a part of in Teller County. She has

Volunteers launch community garden

By Pat Hill

phil@coloradocommunitymedia.com A fitting celebration for Local Food Week, volunteers built 12 raised beds for a community garden Sept. 17 at Woodland Park Community Church.

Winter is coming, but the volunteers have their eye on next year’s planting season. For pre-school students who attend the Learning Center at the church, the garden will double as an educational experience in the gifts of the earth – with the payoff all those fresh vegetables.

A portion of the fresh produce will be donated to the Community Cupboard.

The garden is a collaboration of The Harvest Center, the church and the Community Partnership Family Resource Center. Foxworth-Galbraith donated the wood for the beds.

It’s fun to volunteer to make 12 raised beds for the garden at Woodland Park Community Church – at least that’s what it looks like from the smile on the face of Anne Cowles, foreground. In the background are Dave Fahler, left, and Lee Willoughby. The three are volunteers for The Harvest Center.

Yellowing Pine needles normal in autumn Staff report Although thousands of evergreen trees along the southern Front Range are beginning to display dying yellow or brown needles, most are simply going through a natural shedding process – and are not infested by bark beetles or tree disease.

“Fall needle cast is usually brought on by seasonal changes and weather events.

We commonly see conifers shed their needles in September and October,” said Michael Till, forester at the Colorado State

Forest Service Woodland Park District.

Every autumn, many Colorado evergreen tree species shed some of their older, interior needles as part of an annual growth cycle.

Needles on the lower portion of the crowns or closest to the trunk are most commonly shed, but trees stressed because of drought or root damage may shed more needles to keep the tree in balance with its root system. Soon-to-be shed needles typically turn yellow first, then a reddish-brown color before dropping off; very

CSU Extension offer preserve class Staff report Colorado State University Extension will offer a second class on how to safely preserve fruit as jelly or fruit spread. Like the first, this class will be primarily a lecture with some demonstration. It will cover the basics of water-bath canning – a great class for beginners or those wanting a review. The class will be held Oct. 4 from

10 a.m. to noon at the El Paso County Extension Office, 17 N. Spruce St., Room 202 (a teaching kitchen), Colorado Springs, CO 80905. The cost is $20; price includes handouts, samples and tested recipes.

small branches with few needles on them also may die.

In the CSFS Woodland Park District, which includes El Paso, Teller and Park counties, conifer species that commonly shed needles in the fall include ponderosa pine, douglas fir and Colorado blue spruce.

Evergreen trees that shed fall needles have a different appearance than trees infested by bark beetles. The needles on a beetle-infested tree typically change color throughout the entire tree, initially starting with an off shade of green and turning to

reddish-orange by the following summer.

In addition to changing needle color, bark beetle-infested trees will show other signs of attack, such as fine sawdust at the base of the tree.

The seasonal discoloration and loss of pine needles frequently is called “needle cast,” but the term also refers to a fungal disease of spruce and fir trees.

Effort hopes to honor Buffalo Soldiers for helping tame West This weekend I was asked to drop by a fundraising event at Jim Wider’s Southwinds Fine Art Studio at Roller Coaster Road near where Hodgen and Baptist road connect.

Being historically inclined, three things captured my attention.

One, the invitation concerned a fundraiser for the Buffalo Soldier Community Memorial Project, which has a relatively obscure, but important impact on our history locally, and Colorado generally.

Two, the invite promised that the site would also have several fascinating Ute Indian Prayer Trees located on, or nearby, the property.

And three, the invitation came from former El paso County Sheriff John Anderson, who has just finished a book about the significance of local Ute prayer trees and is working on another historic account of El Paso County’s first sheriff.

Anderson began the first book in the interest of preservation of remaining prayer trees after the Black Forest Fire.

This event was raising money with the

expressed purpose of building a memorial (bronze statue) to Buffalo Soldiers in the northeast corner of Memorial Park in 2016, in time to mark 150th anniversary of Congress authorizing the establishment of the Negro regiments.

Host Jim Wider, gallery owner and a nationally recognized artist, displayed several outstanding paintings of the Buffalo Soldiers and artwork of other local artists, including a few of John Anderson’s oil paintings and art photography.

“After the Civil War, Congress authorized the establishment of six Negro regiments in the summer 1866. They

recognized the military merits of blacks by authorizing two segregated regiments of black cavalry, the Ninth United States Cavalry and the Tenth United States Cavalry and the 38TH, 39TH, 40TH and 41ST Infantry Regiments, “ says Dennis R. Moore, working on the project since inception.

“Orders were given to transfer the troops to the western war arena, where they would join the Army’s fight against the hostile Native Americans. In the 1869 troop reduction the 38th, 39th, 40th and 41st Infantry Regiments were consolidated into the 24th and 25th Infantry Regiments. The 9th and 10th Cavalry and 24th and 25th Infantry Regiments Soldiers were called Buffalo Soldiers by the Native Americans, some say because of the tenacity with which they fought, some say it was because of the texture of their hair reminded them of the Buffalo.”

Moore notes that elements of the 10th Cavalry were stationed at Fort Lyons, and

Robert Jackson’s photo one of the most famous in history If you’ve read any of my previous columns, you know I am very intrigued with former President John F. Kennedy and the many odd coincidences that bring us together. It’s more like a “two degrees of separation” with me and JFK. I’ve watched about every television documentary and movie regarding JFK and his assassination, which took place Nov 22, 1963. I was a little over five months old at the time he was shot by Lee Harvey Oswald.

Ten months after JFK’s assassination the Warren Commission Report - on Sept.

27, 1964 — was issued stating a lone gunman had been responsible for the assassination of JFK. That lone gunman, the report said, was Oswald.

I also am convinced Oswald is the only person who fired at the President that day.

Whether or not Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, the Soviets, the mob or anyone else had a hand with the assassination is something most of us will likely never know.

Of course, the Oswald saga did not end with the shooting with JFK, or with his murder of Dallas police officer J.D. Tippit about an hour after he killed Kennedy.

On Nov. 24, 1963, about 48 hours after

he assassinated Kennedy, Oswald himself was killed by a lone gunman named Jack Ruby. That historic moment was seen on live television by millions of Americans.

Several photographers also took very good photos of the event.

But the most famous of all the photos showing Ruby shooting Oswald was taken by current Manitou Springs resident Robert “Bob” Jackson, who was then working for the Dallas Times Herald.

Just 29 years old at the time, Jackson telephoned his editors shortly after the shooting and told them he thought he had “some pretty good photos” of Ruby shooting Oswald. As it turned out, Jackson’s photo won him a Pulitzer Prize that included $1,000 cash award.

Following his tenure at the Times Herald, Jackson worked for the Denver Post and the Gazette-Telegraph. He retired from the Gazette in 1999 — two years before I joined the staff.

Jackson, now 80, still gets calls for interviews about those historic three days in Dallas 51 years ago.

Jackson was a general beat photographer for the Dallas Times Herald in 1963 and covered the arrival of Kennedy and first lady Jackie Kennedy at Love Field in Dallas via Forth Worth - and followed them on the motorcade traveling Dallas streets.

Jackson took photos of the Kennedys as they worked a crowd at the airport, and he then photographed well-wishers on the motorcade route minutes later.

Jackson, while between rolls of film, has said many times that he witnessed a rifle being pulled back from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository Building, which was allegedly Oswald’s perch.

Interestingly, following a hectic day on Friday, Nov. 22, Jackson was given the day

Question of the day for parents with school children Here’s the question of the day for those parents who have children in our public school system. Is your child playing at least one organized sport during the school year?

According to the Aspen Institute’s Project Play, of the estimated 51 million U.S. children ages 6 to 17, about 27.4 million participate in a sport. Of those, only 15.7 million play on a regular basis.

If those stats are true, that potentially categorizes 70 percent of America’s youth as sedentary. Is that your child?

The President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports reports that 10 percent of toddlers between the ages of 2 and 5 are overweight. And, for the first time ever, physicians are reporting the onset of Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, once thought to be age-related diseases, in our country’s children and adolescents.

With the Kaiser Family Foundation contending that the average child and teen spends 4 hours a day in front of the

television and another 2 hours in front of their computer playing video games every day, the fact that America’s youth are sedentary pudge-balls should come as no surprise. In one research study, when a child was asked why he didn’t play outside he responded, “Because there are no electrical outlets.”

Here are some tips gleaned from numerous websites on how to get your children moving.

Start early. From ages 2 to 5, focus on improving your child’s basic movement skills by catching, rolling, bouncing and

kicking a ball. Get you kid jumping, hopping, skipping, running and pedaling a tricycle.

Experts recommend that from ages 5 to 8 you should enroll your child in noncompetitive sports or group movement classes. A wide range of physical experiences will help your child figure out what he or she likes and dislikes.

After the age of 8, a parent’s job of keeping their children physically active becomes more challenging. Not every kid is into sports but that doesn’t mean they should be glued to a TV or computer.

If your child isn’t drawn to organized sports, look to other activities like dancing, rock climbing, swimming or martial arts. Don’t be afraid to join in the game, kids love it when their parents play with them.

Be sure to lead by example. If you’re vegetating in front of the TV with the remote in one hand and a bag of chips in the other, you’ll lose credibility.

Offer positive feedback by praising

your child when they accomplish a physical goal. Kids who aren’t naturally athletic may be self-conscious about their lack of physical skills and fearful of public embarrassment … be supportive.

Make sure to establish a regular routine so your children’s fitness is plugged into the family schedule the same way as their school commitments and chores. Fitness should be part of the fabric of your family’s life.

And finally, take a non-negotiable position. Going to school, brushing your teeth or wearing a seat belt isn’t a subject of debate in your home? Neither should exercise.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear editor: My opponent makes the following claims on his website and in his video: “Mandated subdivision patrols in which office averages 1500 monthly.”

“We’ve increased subdivision patrols with hundreds per month. As a result, burglaries and crimes against properties have decreased dramatically.”

Unfortunately, these claims cannot be backed up with actual data: Per the Teller County Property Record database, there are almost 375 subdivisions in Teller County. 1500/375 means that a patrol officer visits a subdivision four times per month on average. How often do you see a sheriff’s deputy in your subdivision?

troops of the 9th Cavalry were at Fort Garland Colorado. These largely unknown soldiers assisted civil authorities in controlling mobs, pursued outlaws, cattle thieves, and even Mexican revolutionaries along the U.S. Mexican border. Additionally, these soldiers served as the first US Border Patrol, rode “shotgun” on stage coaches, and delivered mail longer than the Pony Express. Their outposts were located in Arizona, Colorado, both Dakotas, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming.

Buffalo Soldiers were also involved in numerous confrontations with hostile Native Americans. Among the most famous confrontations are: Beecher’s Island in Yuma County; Milk Creek in Northern Colorado; and the White River Reservation.

The transfer of Oswald was supposed to happen at 9:30 a.m. Jackson’s editors told him that after he took photos of that event, he was supposed to go to his next assignment; to cover Nellie Connally’s press conference. Connally and her husband, Texas Gov. John Connally, were passengers with the Kennedys in the presidential limousine the day of the assassination.

Gov. Connally was seriously wounded.

Nellie Connally and Jackie Kennedy were not injured. Connally’s press conference was set for 10:30 a.m.

As the time ticked past 9:30, Jackson and others of the media became impatient as they waited in the police department basement. Jackson placed a call to his city desk to learn the reason of the delay. He was told that the police were “not in any hurry.”

Jackson’s superiors still wanted him to cover the Connally press conference, but Jackson said he was not leaving his spot in the basement of the police station.

Have these increased patrols been effective? The Colorado Bureau of Investigations report crime statics every year for each agency in Colorado: crimeinco.cbi. state.co.us Based on this data (an in-depth analysis is available on my website: mark4change.com), the reported burglaries for 2010-2013 breaks down as follows: 41 in2010, 36 in 2011, 29 in 2012, and 42 in 2013. The rate of larceny/theft breaks down as follows: 40 in 2010, 47 in 2011, 48 in 2012, and 44 in 2013.

As you can see, the increased patrols have had no impact on reported burglary Letters continues on Page 10

Finally, about 11:15 a.m., word came to the media that the police were to move Oswald in five minutes. He was to be transported in an unmarked car, brought into the basement via the ramp from outside. Jackson pre-focused his camera to a little more than 10 feet.

All of the sudden a man in a dark suit jumped in Jackson’s way. It was Ruby, a Dallas night club/strip club owner and self-proclaimed devoted Kennedy admirer.

“He took two steps and fired, and I fired,” Jackson has said on many occasions.

This all happened at 11:21 a.m.

Jackson wound his camera and shot again and again. Jackson shot photos of the Dallas police wrestling Ruby to the floor, and then later of Oswald being put onto a stretcher and into an ambulance that was brought into the basement.

Oswald died about an hour later. Ironically, he was taken to the same hospital - Parkland — that JFK was taken after he was shot by Oswald.

The Warren Commission called Jackson as a witness during its investigation. He testified mainly about seeing a rifle pulled from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository building on Nov. 22.

Jackson maintains to this day that Oswald acted alone.

WPHS celebrates homecoming with spirit

Homecoming parade brings out hundreds

By Norma Engelberg Contributing writer

Woodland Park High School homecoming week kicked off on Sept. 15 with a Spirit Assembly but the town businesses were already wearing their homecoming spirit on their windows with help from students.

In the middle of Spirit Week the entire school district turned out for the homecoming parade down Midland Avenue, which the Colorado Department of Transportation closed for the occasion. The parade had cheerleaders, the school’s award-winning marching band, all the teams, students from all of the elementary schools and the middle school and vehicles from local law enforcement agencies and fire departments. The WPHS bonfire at followed the parade at Gateway Elementary School.

Spirit Week ended with another assembly on Sept. 19, along with an

or larceny/theft crimes in Teller County. Furthermore, the data shows that the overall rate of reported crimes (around 150) has been flat since 2009 with a sudden increase 2011 (216) just to return to around 150 in 2012 and 2013. My opponent’s policies had absolutely no impact on crime in Teller County! He has not made you safer.

Even worse, my opponent’s administration has not been able to solve major crimes that have plagued our county the last few years. For example, the arsonist that terrorized Teller County still remains at large, Teller County now has its first cold-case homicide in decades, and the bomb threat against the Cripple Creek courthouse was never solved.

I plan to address the above issues by introducing community orienting policing techniques to the Teller County Sheriff’s Office and by changing the overall image of the agency. An immediate step will be to return the officer uniform to the traditional green and tan uniform.

Also, we will change the usage of SWAT to a last resort resource rather than a first response resource as seen with my opponent’s administration. Pictures of my opponent typically show him with individuals dressed in threatening paramilitary garb rather than with the average community member.

But, community oriented policing is much more than just changing the look of our officers and the proper use of SWAT. In this system, law enforcement emphasizes community partnerships and community involvement.

Example: Crime data might show that a subdivision has issues with burglaries. In such a situation, my organization will work with members of different subdivisions to determine what issues are of most concern.

Through such interactions, we might learn that the big issue is related to meth labs, which is leading to the burglaries. Therefore, our resources should be prioritized

on addressing the meth lab situation. Community input is crucial when making priority calls like shown in this example.

Community Oriented Policing emphasizes problem solving techniques in a multistep process that consists of: identifying and prioritizing problems, researching what’s known about the problems, developing solutions that bring about lasting reductions in the number and extent of problems, evaluation of the success of responses and so on. In other words: community oriented policing is not about mandating meaningless activities to improve statistics, like counting subdivision patrols. Instead, community oriented policing depends on true community partnerships and building relationships.

As you may have seen during my campaign, members of my team and I have been out talking with as many people in our community as possible. We will continue to meet with you when I am elected sheriff. If you want discuss issues or ask questions, then please give me a call at my personal phone number 719-322-1284.

Teller County deserves – and should demand – better law enforcement that it getting with my opponent. You can change this. Please vote on Nov. 4. I respectfully ask for your vote so that we together can bring positive and professional law enforcement to Teller County.

Thank you, Mark Manriquez, unaffiliated candidate, Teller County Sheriff Dear editor: I was surprised to read Miss Jineen McWherter’s invitation to a meeting at the Divide Community Center. If you were serious about your invitation, you would have called and personally invited me to join you at this event.

said, “When your opponent is making a fool of themselves, stay out of their way.”

I will now give you some information that can be checked and verified since it is a part of the public record, unlike yours, which is fictitious. Our beloved Sheriff Ensminger does not equivocate when he tells us that: The crime rate in Teller County is at an all-time low.

Sub-Division Patrols have increased resulting in lower burglaries and property crimes.

There is a reduction in juvenile related offenses due to the Sheriff’s Juvenile Diversion Program.

Our beloved Sheriff was selected by a democrat governor to sit on the Colorado State Child Fatality Review Board. While on this statewide board, Sheriff Ensminger has seen domestic violence and child fatalities decrease significantly.

Your silly statements that there is a high turnover rate in the Sheriff’s department is negated by the fact that Teller County has one of the lowest turnover rates nationwide the average turnover rate is 14 percent. Teller County’s turnover rate is 13.89 percent.

Facts Matter!

Keith McKim Dear editor: This letter is in regard to the Teller County Sheriffs race. This week I spoke with a gentleman at my office about the upcoming election. He asked me why I had reelect Mike Ensminger signs posted at our business.

I told him that Mike was the only qualified person running for the job! Mike is the only one, in this race, who has graduated from high school and college and has taught law enforcement, at the college level, for more than 25 years.

Mike is a man of integrity, he is the same man in private as he is in his public job. Most importantly, he speaks the truth. When he’s wrong, he’ll be the first to admit it.

Many things that have been said and written, about Mike by the Manriquez side, are absolutely wrong!

If Manriquez were a man of integrity, he would have stopped the lies. Several weeks ago his supporters wrote that Sheriff Ensminger, “at his discretion” had revoked more concealed carry permits than any other sheriff, more than10 percent. Here are the facts: In 2013 over 680 permits were issued and signed by the sheriff, 12 were revoked. Of those 12, none were discretionary, all were mandatory revocations under law. Hardly the “over 10 percent” that the Manriquez clan is alleging.

The Manriquez side has also repeatedly stated that the sheriff has mismanaged the county jail. Again, here are the facts: Sheriff Ensminger has improved the management of the county jail and has increased the revenue by 70 percent!

If the Manriquez supporters think that Mark is the man for change, just what kind of change do they want?

Mark says he’ll support the unconstitutional laws that will take away our guns. He will also eliminate the county swat team. He says that he’s supported by the fraternal order of police. Is he planning to unionize the sheriff’s department? If Mark is so qualified to be sheriff why is he still a low-level gaming officer in Cripple Creek? Why wasn’t he even considered for an interview when he applied for the Cripple Creek police chief job? The kind of change that Mark Manriquez wants to bring to Teller County is certainly not what we want!

We need the kind of leadership that Mike Ensminger has brought these past four years with honesty and integrity. Crime rates in Teller County are at an all-time low.

The county jail is run responsibly.

Most importantly, with Sheriff Ensminger, our constitutional rights are respected and defended.

That’s why I have re-elect Mike Ensminger signs posted at our office, and that’s why I’m asking you to vote for Mike.

David Rusterholtz, Florissant

A healthier way to raise funds in WP For the Courier Rather than selling coupon books, candy, or magazines, all three elementary schools in the Woodland Park School District are raising funds a healthier way this year. Students are asking for monetary pledges to sponsor them for a walk/run-athon.

The first event was a Walk-A-Thon at Columbine Elementary on Sept. 16. This is Columbine’s annual fall fundraiser to raise funds that directly support the school.

“The Walk-a-Thon raises money while celebrating and strengthening the school’s values,” said Veronica Wolken, Columbine’s principal. “A joyful day outdoors, walking and running alongside classmates, teachers, families, and friends, inspires active and healthy living. At the same time, every penny raised supports Columbine’s strategic goals, without having our children sell merchandise for outside vendors. This way, 100 percent of donations stay here, benefiting every child.”

Columbine students of all grade levels walk/jog/run around a 1/8-mile track, completing as many laps as possible in 30 minutes. Last year, they walked just over 714 miles and raised more than $14,000.

Second in line is Gateway Elementary.

Gateway is holding a Fun’d Run on Sept.

26 at the Woodland Park High School track.

The day will include an obstacle course, energizing music and an appearance by the school mascot.

“The purpose of the Fun’d Run is to promote wellness while raising money for field trips and school programs,” said Kay Lynn Waddell, Gateway’s principal. “We maintain an annual commitment of providing every student at Gateway with a free field trip each year. Every penny collected will go directly to all students in preschool through fifth, including students in the Cottage School and online programs.”

Summit Elementary will hold its WalkA-Thon on Oct. 8 in conjunction with National Walk/Bike to School Day. Since the

school is located off U.S. Highway 24 in Divide, it is difficult for students to walk or bike to school. The Walk-A-Thon has the added benefit of allowing Summit students to participate in the national event.

“The point and purpose of our WalkA-Thon is to get all the kids moving and participating while the funds raised go directly to our school,” said Katie Rexford, the school’s principal.

City of Cripple Creek wins transit award

By Pat Hill

phil@colorado communitymedia.com Ted Schweitzer and the city of Cripple Creek received the Small Transit Agency of the Year award this month.

“This is a performance award for milestones in ridership for the Cripple Creek/Victor shuttle,” said Schweitzer, the city’s transportation manager.

The Gold Camp Connector provides shuttle service for residents of southern Teller County for a variety of reasons, from shopping, sight-seeing and/or dining in both cities. As well, the connector stops at the grocery store, gas station and medical clinic in Cripple Creek.

The connector runs four times a day and is $1 a round trip for residents. The shuttle, which is

wheelchair accessible, is funded by the cities of Cripple Creek and Victor, local casinos, the Federal Transit Assistance Program and is administered by the Colorado Department of Transportation.

The service is free for seniors 60 and older, handicapped individuals and children under 12 accompanied by an adult.

As well, the city of Cripple Creek operates an in-town shuttle service between May 15 and Oct. 15. The cost is $1 for adults and free for children under 12 accompanied by an adult.

The Cripple Creek Trolley, which also runs from May 15 to Oct. 15, has fixed stops at casinos and others visitor sites in the city.

Schweitzer received the award at a dinner Sept. 11 hosted by the Colorado Association of Transit Agencies. For information, call 689-3753.

A PEACEFUL PLACE

Aloha Lake in the High Sierras captured Wesley Trimble’s attention while he was hiking on the Pacific Coast Trail. Courtesy photos

The aptlynamed Desolation Wilderness in Southern California was among the initial challenges of the Pacific Coast Trail.

Wesley Trimble met a fellow hiker on the Pacific Coast Trail who took his picture at Eagle Rock.

Trimble completes Pacific Coast Trail

angerous and peaceful, challenging and fulfilling, for Wesley Trimble hiking the Pacific Coast Trail broke barriers and added a notch to his list of physical accomplishments.

Graduate of Woodland Park High School, Trimble, 26, who lives in Florissant, was born with a mild form of cerebral palsy, leaving the right side of his body weak, a condition that impacts his balance.

The disability would turn out to be critical two weeks before he reached the finish line.

He started the hike April 16 at the border town of Campo, Calif., the southern point of the trail that ends 2,667 miles ahead in Canada.

“The first day is the hardest, because the trail is dry — there’s a lake and a campground 20 miles from the Mexican border,” he said. “A lot of people try to get there, for the water and a safe place to be.”

Pain and blisters came early in the hike. “I had to take two days off to rest and allow my legs to recover. That was hard because I had a schedule for my trip,” he said. “I was pretty discouraged over having problems early-on.”

The two days restored his energy. “I started off again – I think I pushed myself too early,” he said. “But the trail will condition you.”

The on-trail shape-up prepared him for the desert. “I’ve done tons of hiking in Colorado but nothing in the desert southwest so it was quite the adventure,” he said. “Probably the biggest challenge is dealing with waterless and long stretches of trail.”

Along the way, amid mountains, ice, snow, creeks, wild animals, and the unknown, Trimble encountered the trail angels. “They’ll let you camp in their yards, give you a place to shower or do your laundry,” he said. “There are a handful of trail angels who have been doing this for a good number of years.”

Having survived the desert, the snowpacked cliffs in the High Sierras, Trimble came upon Mt. Adams Creek in Washington where his disability played a key role in the trek.

Already soaking wet from hiking all day in a rainstorm, Trimble lost his balance and fell into the glacial creek. The fall was a test of physical and mental endurance.

“Every day was a constant struggle and I really wondered why I was putting myself through this,” he said.

Yet he trudged another eight miles and came to a reckoning. “If I were to quit I definitely knew I’d look back and regret

the decision,” he said. “I didn’t necessarily want to keep hiking but I knew that getting to Canada was worth all the pain and suffering.”

He finished the hike Sept. 1 after crossing the Canadian border where his parents, Carl and Diana Trimble, were waiting.

Trimble was one of 1,300 people who applied for a permit to hike the PCT. “Ever since ‘Wild’ came out, the numbers of people doing the trail has increased quite bit,” he said, referring to the book and movie by Cheryl Strayed.

Reflecting on the experience, Trimble counts his disability as a prime force.

“The more resistance I face in overcoming an obstacle the success of the challenge is that much sweeter,” he said. “I think the constant struggle makes me appreciate the successes.”

While Trimble has a degree in Environmental Design and Architecture from the University of Colorado Boulder, he hasn’t quite made a decision on a career path.

“I feel the trail widens your horizons to new potential, new possibilities,” he said.

“It’s easy to figure out a career out of obligation or fear but once you do something of that magnitude, it shows perseverance and determination.”

In the meantime, there’s always another trail beckoning. “I’d like to do the Continental Divide Trail,” he said.

The starting point of the Pacific Coast Trail from the south is at Campo, Calif., a few miles from the Mexico/ California border.

County’s first medical directory available Staff report The Pikes Peak Regional Medical Center Association has published the first resource for Teller County’s growing list of medical professionals. The directory is available for the public, businesses and medical professionals.

“We listened to the community who asked for a one-stop resource to find local medical professionals,” said Curt Grina, the association’s president. “To better meet this growing demand of both an increasing number of medical professionals in our community as well as a requirement to be able to locate them, we decided it was time to produce this valuable resource.”

The book lists 114 medical professionals in Teller County and offers information about the association as well as the Pikes Peak Medical Center Foundation.

The directory acknowledges “premier supporter” providers.

“These medical practitioners are each identified in the directory with a medical symbol,” Grina said. “This recognition showcases those who demonstrate special loyalty to our community. We wanted you to know which are most actively helping to build the best health care capability for our community.”

The directory is available at Pikes Peak Regional Hospital as well as at various business and community locations, or by contacting the PPRMCA email at pprmc.org.

How does our garden grow?

Teller Park Conservation District provides answers at annual meeting

By Pat Hill

phil@colorado communitymedia.com The peer pressure is on, as almost everybody seems to be joining the movement toward healthy living through gardening.

Never mind that Teller County land is higher than 8,000 feet and summer lasts, maybe three months in a good year, the gardening craze is growing.

“We’re all trying to grow produce up here – so we know where our food comes from,” said Mary Menz, manager of Teller Park Conservation District.

As a result, the district is devoting the annual meeting Sept. 27 to talk about small farms and sustainable living, which, in some ways, is a throwback to the

last century. “There’s a long history of growing up here, potatoes and lettuce in Divide; years ago they were shipped as far away as Chicago,” Menz aid. “It can be done; people just have to be patient.”

An example of patience is the meeting’s keynote speaker, Craig McHugh.

Founder of the Pikes Peak Small Farm Project, which is under the umbrella of the Pikes Peak Community Foundation, McHugh and his family lived off the fruits of the land for four years.

They raised pigs, goats and chickens while growing fruits and vegetables to achieve a completely sustainable lifestyle. “He’s really inspiring,” Menz said.

A nonprofit organization, Teller Park Conservation District is dedicated to helping landowners maintain healthy growing conditions. “Everything starts with soil and water,” she said. “If we don’t have that we can’t do any of this.”

In addition to tips about

small-acreage farming, meeting topics include beekeeping, holistic pasture management, noxious weed management and aquaponics and hydroponics.

“I’m so excited to live in a place where we have this kind of information being shared,” Menz said. “We’re helping people create tiny farms.”

For the reluctant, a small farm doesn’t have to be a 500-acre operation, Menz said. “I grow potatoes, carrots, cucumbers, pumpkins, broccoli, zucchinis and tomatoes on less than one-fourth of an acre,” she said.

The meeting, open to the public, is from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., Sept. 27 at the Lake George Charter School. Lunch is provided

Personhood backers take new tack Story of unborn child lost in crash comes to fore

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Could revised ballot language and a “human face” approach to this year’s version of a personhood amendment pay dividends for backers — or is the measure destined to fail like previous efforts?The last three efforts to pass a constitutional amendment that would essentially ban abortion in Colorado have failed badly.

But with this year’s effort, in the form of Amendment 67, the ballot language is different — some argue confusing.

And supporters hope that voters will not think of the “personhood amendment” when they vote on Amendment 67 this year, and instead think of the the “Brady amendment,” named after an unborn child lost in a 2012 car accident.

The personhood makeover is leaving opponents nervous, even though Colorado voters have overwhelmingly rejected previous efforts.

“I’m not as confident as I’d like to be,” said Jann Halloran, a reverend at Prairie Unitarian Universalist Church in Parker.

Halloran is one of more than 80 Colorado faith leaders who are opposed to Amendment 67.

“It’s a different approach for them that doesn’t look quite like what the amendment actually means.”

‘Brady’ emphasized

The language of Amendment 67 reads: “Shall there be an amendment to the Colorado Constitution protecting pregnant women and unborn children by defining `person’ and `child’ in the Colorado criminal code and the Colorado wrongful death act to include unborn human beings?”

Supporters of Amendment 67 have dubbed it the “Brady Amendment,” named after Report the unborn child of Heather Surovik. The Longmont woman was eight months pregnant with Brady when she was struck by a drunken driver in July 2012.

Surovik survived the accident, but her unborn child did not.

The driver responsible for the accident pleaded guilty to serious charges, but they did not include charges related to the loss of Surovik’s unborn child. That’s because Colorado law considers a fetus to be a part of its mother’s body until its birth, and not afforded the constitutional rights of children who are born.

“Heather was told that her 8-pound, 2-ounce baby was not a person,” said Jennifer Mason, the communications director for Personhood USA, the group behind the ballot measure.

“Every mother can imagine this same situation happening to them.”

As part of its mobilization effort, Personhood USA has launched a website

campaign called “A Voice for Brady,” where Surovik tells her story and encourages viewers to vote yes on Amendment 67.

Mason acknowledges that the campaign effort involving Surovik and Brady humanizes the effort behind the ballot measure.

“Putting a face to unborn children in Colorado is very important,” she said.

Opponents see trickery

But the wording behind Amendment 67 is “designed and disguised as something it’s not,” said Cara DeGette, the communications director for No on 67.

The group argues that because the term “unborn human being” has no legal or medical definition, it would grant legal and constitutional protections for the unborn at all stages of pregnancy, including when an egg becomes fertilized.

That would make abortion a crime, regardless of circumstances such as rape or incest, and women could face prosecution for terminating a pregnancy at any stage.

Backers of Amendment 67 acknowledge that they want to end abortions, but they are more focused this year on highlighting stories like Surovik’s.

That could be because ballot language in past years has failed to win over voters.

In 2008, Amendment 48 sought to define personhood as being “from the moment of fertilization.”

Voters rejected that amendment by a ratio of 73-27 percent.

In 2010, Amendment 62 sought to define a human being as “from the beginning of the biological development of that hu-

man being.”

That effort received only about 29 percent of the vote.

A 2012 personhood effort failed to receive enough signatures to qualify for the ballot.

This year’s language doesn’t try to define the point at which personhood begins, but opponents believe the end result would be the same.

“This one seems particularly vague because it looks like it’s supportive to helping pregnant women,” Halloran said. “But, if you’ve done your research, there are criminal and civil ways to help pregnant women already.”

Halloran was referring to the “Crimes Against Pregnant Women” legislation that Gov. John Hickenlooper signed into law in 2013.

The legislation allows prosecutors to charge criminals who harm an unborn child during a crime.

However, the majority of Republican lawmakers voted against the legislation because the law did not provide personhood protections for the unborn child.

The language of the bill also excluded from prosecution “medical care for which the mother provided consent.”

Mason does not know if this year’s revised effort will make a difference in the minds of voters.

However, she does know that the effort will not end if it fails again in November.

“We are committed to this,” Mason said. “We’re not going away because we really believe that children and pregnant women should be protected in Colorado.”

Trying to make sense of multiple — and wildly conflicting — governor’s-race polling results released on Sept. 17 was a bit like shoveling the sidewalk while it’s still snowing.

Throughout the day, separate polling agencies released surveys hours apart from one another, with their findings resulting in a 17-point swing from one possible extreme to another — with Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper leading in two polls.

But the most eyebrow-raising results came from a Qunnipiac University poll that showed Hickenlooper losing by 10 percentage points among likely voters to Republican former Congressman Bob Beauprez.

The findings show Hickenlooper trailing Beauprez 50-40 percent, with the governor losing in support among women, 47-46 percent, and trailing badly among men, 54-34 percent.

“Pundits were predicting that Gov. Hickenlooper faced a close race for reelection,” said Tim Malloy, the poll’s assistant director. “Instead, he’s got a mad dash to make up a double-digit deficit.

The Democrat does not get the traditional strong support from women to offset Bob Beauprez’s army of support from men.”

The poll, which has a margin of error of 2.8 percentage points, was conducted Sept. 10-15, with 1,211 likely voters responding.

Beauprez issued a statement of cautious optimism, saying in a press statement: “We’re going to run like we’re behind.”

“Our state desperately needs stronger leadership and with 48 days left to go, we are not going to let this or any other poll distract us from getting the job done and giving Colorado the leadership it deserves,” Beauprez said.

But the Hickenlooper campaign blasted the Qunnipiac poll as an outlier that is “fundamentally flawed” and pointed to several other polls that show the governor leading the race.

Two other surveys released on Sept 7 showed Hickenlooper with leads — one as high as 7 points.

That poll was conducted by Progress New America, a Democratic-leaning polling outfit, which polled 1,350 likely voters Sept. 7-14. The other, a USA Today/Suffolk University poll, which polled 500 likely voters, had Hickenlooper up 2 points.

In a statement, the Hickenlooper campaign also pointed to polling from last week by the Denver Post and NBC/Marist that also showed the governor with slight leads.

“Right now we are leading in support, fundraising and polling, and that’s because folks support John’s work to help Colorado grow and strengthen our economy,” said Hickenlooper campaign manager Brad Komar.

Colorado Community Media also obtained a memo Komar sent to campaign staff, where he addressed the findings of the Qunnipiac poll. Komar said that the Hickenlooper campaign’s internal polling samples party registration percentages similar to those that turn out in competitive, off-presidential year elections, such as 2010.

But Komar said Qunnipiac’s polling does not do that and instead the poll “weighs results entirely on party self-identification.”

“Despite what an outlier poll says, the governor is in a strong position for re-election,” Komar said.

Gessler is hot potato in race for his office Williams, Neguse treat incumbent as pariah

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com In the race to become Colorado’s next secretary of state, two candidates are touting their qualifications while distancing themselves from the man who currently holds the post.

Republican El Paso County Clerk and Recorder Wayne Williams will take on Democrat Joe Neguse, a University of Colorado regent, in a race to become the state’s elections chief.

The two are seeking to fill a seat that will be soon vacated by current Secretary of State Scott Gessler. The Republican opted against seeking a second term and instead launched an unsuccessful bid for governor earlier this year.

Gessler has famously earned the nickname “honey badger,” born from a style of bare-knuckled politics that has rallied Republicans and roiled Democrats. Gessler has had several public battles with Gov. John Hickenlooper and legislative Democrats over election policy and his handling of the secretary of state’s office.

That style is something that both Williams and Neguse say they want to avoid if elected as Gessler’s successor.

“I think some of the ways he presented things were too polarizing,” said Williams.

Williams said Gessler “has done a lot of good things,” but added: “We have different styles.”

However, Neguse sees a lot of Gessler in Williams. Neguse believes Williams has a record of “focusing on efforts that make it harder for people to vote.”

“For me, it is important to have a secretary of state who is not only going to protect the right the vote, but empower more people to exercise that constitutional right because it is a right that we shouldn’t take for granted,” Neguse said.

Williams said Neguse’s characterization of him just isn’t the case.

“I’m the only one (in the Report race) who has run an office and run elections and I’ve done it well,” he said.

Capitol

Backgrounds differ

Williams served for eight years as an El Paso County commissioner prior to being elected county clerk and recorder in 2010.

Williams said he is proud of the customer service he has provided for four years and is especially proud of his work during the 2012 Waldo Canyon Fire, when many voters were being evacuated the same day of a primary election.

“We counted every ballot, made sure they were all secure and made every statutory deadline despite being evacuated for the fire,” Williams said.

Williams has also presided over three recall elections in as many counties. He was asked by officials in Teller and Saguache counties to handle local recall elec-

tions there, and he oversaw his own county’s highly publicized recall election, which led to the ouster of then-state Senate President John Morse.

Neguse was elected to represent the state’s 2nd Congressional District on the CU Board of Regents. His public service record also includes having served as a commissioner on the Boulder Housing Authority and being a Capitol staffer for former state House Speaker Andrew Romanoff.

Neguse is a first-generation American whose parents are from Africa.

“The right to vote really is sacred and, as the son of immigrants, I can tell you in a very visceral way what it means to be able to have the right to vote and to exercise that right to vote,” he said.

If elected, Neguse said he would work to create a “one-stop shop” business platform to make it easier for business owners to navigate service options. He also wants to dispatch office representatives across the state for greater service accessibility.

Divided on reforms

Neguse and Williams have different opinions on key voting issues that will shape their policies.

Neguse is a supporter of a 2013 elections overhaul law that created same-day registration in Colorado and requires that all ballots be mailed to registered voters.

Neguse believes the law will enable more people to participate in elections, but Williams has been an outspoken critic of the law. Williams said the law is costly to counties and is unfair to voters who don’t wish to receive ballots in the mail because of security issues.

Williams — whose opposition to the elections reform law puts him among the minority of county clerks in the state — also is concerned that the law will lead to increased cases of voter fraud.

“Colorado had the highest percentage turnout in the country in 2012,” Williams said. “The system was working very well as it was.”

Neguse believes Williams’ opinion on the law misses the mark. He points to safeguards that are in place that allow clerks real-time information when votes are being cast, which is intended to root out fraud.

“Same-day registration has existed in Wyoming for decades,” Neguse said.

“It has existed in Idaho for decades. It’s worked well. Empirical evidence shows more people participate.”

Williams supports voter identification laws and doesn’t think that showing a utility bill is a valid form of ID. He concedes that voter fraud is rare, but he cites two recent El Paso County elections that were decided by a single vote.

“We don’t have bank robberies that often either,” he said. “But (if a bank) put all its money in a pile and put a note on the pile and said, `Hey customers, just sign an affidavit that you’ve taken no more money than you have deposited in this bank,’ that would be an absurd result.”

But Neguse doesn’t think that voters want “a secretary of state who is going to be focused on dismantling those reforms.”

“That should be something we should strive for — making it easier to vote for those people who are eligible to vote,” he said.

Biden latest big name to stump in Colorado Each side jeers other as state’s profile grows

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Vice President Joe Biden last week became the latest big-name political figure to visit Colorado to raise campaign cash in a state that is getting plenty of national attention for its high-profile races.

Biden came to Denver on Sept. 19 to speak about domestic violence. Afterward, the possible 2016 presidential candidate headlined a fundraiser for fellow Democrat Andrew Romanoff.

The former state House speaker is seeking to unseat Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman in a 6th Congressional District race that has become this fall’s most closely watched race for Congress.

The Coffman campaign mocked the vice president’s trip, as well as recent visits to Colorado by other Democratic leaders, such as former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

“It is official. Every liberal in the free frickin’ world is calling in every favor they can summon to help Romanoff’s bid for Congress,” said Coffman campaign spokesman Tyler Sandberg.

In response, the Romanoff campaign

took the high road.

“There are real issues at stake in this race: creating jobs, growing the economy, strengthening the middle class,” said Romanoff campaign spokeswoman Denise Baron. “Congressman Coffman should take a break from character attacks and name-calling long enough to discuss the priorities that matter to the people of this district.”

Mockery has been a common reaction from Republicans anytime anyone from the White House has come to Colorado to stump for Democratic candidates. Earlier this summer, the GOP pushed a narrative that Democratic Sen. Mark Udall was avoiding being seen with President Obama during a Denver presidential visit.

Udall — who is locked in a tight re-election race with Republican Congressman Cory Gardner — did not attend a fundraiser headlined by the president, nor was he in attendance for an economic speech given by Obama the next day.

But Democrats have had plenty to howl about over visits to Colorado by high-profile Republicans this year.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie stumped for gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez and House Speaker John Boehner has raised cash for Coffman’s campaign. Both visits were greeted with ridicule by Democrats.

The high-profile visits show just how

Biden urges strength to stop domestic violence

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Vice President Joe Biden came to Denver on Sept. 19 to urge men to stand up against domestic violence, saying that men have “an absolute obligation to intervene when you see violence taking place.”

“That’s manhood,” the vice president said. “That’s being a man.”

Biden gave his passionate remarks prior to taking part in a round-table discussion on domestic violence at a Safehouse Denver office on Capitol Hill. The organization provides services and shelter for battered women.

Biden’s trip marks the 20th anniversary of the Violence Against Women Act, which

he spearheaded as a U.S. senator.

Biden recalled some pushback at the time of the legislation, saying that some used to consider domestic violence “a family matter.” The vice president thanked the press for covering that effort 20 years ago, saying the media was “the reason why we’ve been able to put a face on domestic violence.”

Biden’s remarks came just a couple of hours after National Football League Commissioner Roger Goodell apologized to fans for his handling of recent incidents involving domestic violence among league stars.

But do voters care about endorsements or whether a candidate avoids being seen

in public with an unpopular politician from the same party?

Independent political analyst Eric Sondermann doesn’t think so.

Biden was flanked by Denver Mayor Michael Hancock and domestic-violence advocates and survivors.

The mayor also touted the soon-to-be built Rose Andom Center — named after a domestic violence survivor who sat next to the vice president — which will serve as a “one-stop shop” for domestic-violence victims to receive care and services. The center will have on-site police, magistrates and child and pet care services.

“Our goal here today is to shed light on the issue of domestic violence in our community,” Hancock said.

Biden reminded the audience that violence isn’t unique to certain groups of people. He said that gays and lesbians are also victims, as are undocumented immigrant women, who may fear deportation by going to the police to report abuse.

And Biden urged college students to step up whenever a violent act against a woman seems imminent.

“We had a baked potato bar, brats, burgers and hotdogs. The kids participated in a sack race, potato harvest, and Mr. Potato Head contest,” Caldwell said.

“Turning away when you see a fraternity brother take an obviously, completely, thoroughly drunk young woman and head to his room, you have a moral obligation — you are a coward if you do not stop him,” Biden said.

Biden’s visit was also meant to call attention to a newly launched White House campaign that calls attention to domestic violence. The campaign, called “It’s on Us,” asks every man in America to sign an online pledge to inter-

vene in incidents involving domestic violence.

Biden said one of the ways the society “wins” the fight against domestic violence is when men realize that certain actions are never acceptable. “(We win) when every young man in America knows there is not a single circumstance that exists that justifies any man in this room or this nation raising a hand to a woman, other than in self-defense,” he said.

Ruth and Red celebrate 63 Accident doesn’t keep this couple down

By Pat Hill

phil@coloradocommunitymedia.com It’s 63 years for Ruth and Red (Gene) Williams who were married Sept. 23, 1951 in Glenwood Springs.

Founders of the Country Store in 1972, the Williams ran the business out of the large log cabin on Rampart Range Road.

In 1981 they changed the name to Mountain Home Furniture and closed the business in the spring of 1995.

While the party is still on, the celebratory mood was broken this month as the couple recuperates from injuries suffered in a car accident a few miles north of Buena Vista.

Red was driving as the couple returned from a camping trip with their 5th Wheel in the late afternoon of Sept. 18. “The professional opinion is that I may have dozed off,” he said. “There were no skid marks.”

The hitch on the 5th Wheel held and ultimately saved the camper. “I cussed that hitch for two years,” Red said, shaking his head.

Both suffered injuries to the knees and Red has deep contusions on the stomach.

They were taken by ambulance to the hospital in Salida and released that day.

At home with a new 2014 Ford SUV in the garage, the Williams are planning the celebration party with family and friends.

Lake George Charter teacher Donna Knox and a student display artwork by student artists, staff members, and family members who are currently completing their original works of art to submit to the second annual Square 1 Art fundraiser. Square 1 Art is a nationwide leader in art fundraising with high quality products featuring each student’s own art, turning art into useful keepsakes. Photos by Sonja Oliver

A Lake George Charter student gets up close with a clay sculpture “Bust of a Woman” by Auguste Rodin, a French artist considered to be the progenitor of modern sculpture.

Lake George Charter students conducted research and reported on some of the artists featured in Dr. Charles Hill’s “Art Through the Ages” show, a journey through the history of art from the Renaissance to the present.

Dr. Charles Hill stands in front of “Yosemite” a painting by his “great, great, great cousin” Thomas Hill, an English born American artist of the 19th century who painted American landscape masterpieces of the California Yosemite Valley and White Mountains wilderness of New Hampshire.

‘Art Through the Ages’ sponsored by Hill Family Trust comes to Lake George Lake George students experience ‘day at the museum’

By Sonja Oliver

Contributing writer On Sept. 28, against the backdrop of classical music and natural light, Lake George Charter students walked into their gymnasium, now transformed into an art museum courtesy of the The Hill Family Trust’s “Art Through the Ages” traveling exhibit.

The art tour featured paintings, drawings, water colors, chalk and sculpture creations by famous artists dating from the beginning of the Renaissance period of the late 1400s to present time.

Students were surrounded by 39 works of art created by masters such as Pablo Picasso, Salvadore Dali, Leonardo Da Vinci, William Merritt Chase, Edgar Degas, Pierre Auguste Renoir, Marc Chagall, Henri Matisse, Eduarde Manet, and many more famous names whose creations are featured at museums throughout the world.

The Hill Family Trust

As trustee and manager for the collection, Charles R. Hill, holds a Ph.D in fine art and art history and is continually searching the globe for lost works of art. In fact, Hill has been described by some as a modern-day “Indiana Jones of the art world.”

Hill decided to make an art exhibit available to rural schools as a result of children’s reaction while attending an exhibit he brought to the Park State Bank in Woodland Park in 2012.

In an earlier interview Hill said, “I was so overwhelmed by the kids’ interest (in the paintings) at the bank and by their questions, and realized that they don’t have an opportunity to see great works of art – especially in rural areas.”

Hill said that taking the show on the road to rural schools such as Lake George allows access to something neither students nor community members may ever experience in a lifetime.

The Hill Family Trust is comprised of 250 paintings dating from the 1300s to the present time. In sharing the world-class collection with schools, Hill hopes to enhance art appreciation throughout Colo-

rado, especially among students.

“I want to enhance young people’s appreciation of the arts. Every culture throughout history where you have a positive influence in art, you can also have a positive influence on youth and society,” Hill said.

Students were given a brief tour narrated by Hill, who held their attention with the stories behind the artworks, battles, dancers, intrigue and angst. They were given insight into the artistic styles, the artists themselves and the historic background of the paintings.

Hill kept his audience of students and community members spellbound, incorporating humor with interesting facts, bringing to life the specifically selected works of art to show each artist’s different styles, techniques, and biographies, and to discuss centuries of art history’s transition from the Renaissance of Leonardo da Vinci, to the Dutch masters, to the impressionistic and modern eras.

One of the collection highlights includes “Yosemite,” Thomas Hill’s signature oil on canvas. Thomas Hill is a “great, great, great cousin” of Charles Hill through his grandfather’s side of the family.

For Charles Hill, his passion for the hunting, researching, acquisition and restoration of fine art has become a life-long passion.

In a narrative that was almost as interesting as the artworks themselves, Hill related some of the unusual details about how some of the various works were acquired. For example, Salvadore Dali’s platinum relief of the “Last Supper” was rescued by Hill from an obscure antique store for a mere $300. That particular work of art can now be shared, to be viewed by rural communities as part of the trust’s exhibit.

dents excel in mathematics and science curriculum where schools have art enrichment programs because they complement each other.

To enhance the learning process, and in honor of the event, students in grades three through six chose and researched one of the featured artists in their computer literacy class, identifying when and where the artist worked, what mediums and style of painting the artist employed, the artist’s most famous works of art, and the most common subjects in the artist’s body of work. Each student was then encouraged to share their findings to the group as Hill presented each artist’s work.

Raising money for the school art program Lake George art teacher Donna Knox said that for a second year the school is participating in the Square 1 Art Fundraiser where student artists, staff members, and family members are currently com-

pleting their original works of art to submit to the fundraiser.

Square 1 Art is a nationwide leader in art fundraising with high quality products featuring each student’s own art, turning art into useful keepsakes. Each artist receives a free sheet of 20 stickers of their art work and a catalog of personalized products. All personalized products will arrive before Thanksgiving break to make unique holiday gifts for friends and family members.

“In these days of budget cuts and fiscal challenges, I hope to totally fund the art program this year with profits earned through our annual Square 1 Art fundraiser. All money raised will purchase student art items, including new paint brushes sets, tempura, water color and acrylic paints, clay and ceramic supplies, specialty papers and three-dimensional building materials for the current school year,” Knox said.

Arts in Education

Hill says his hope is to “plant the seed” of creativity in children and inspire them to “never underestimate their own abilities.”

“One of them could possibly be another Van Gogh,” said Hill.

Hill’s advice for encouraging young artists is; “Never say to a young person that (their creation) was bad. Nothing is ever ugly in the world of art. Instead, tell them they have potential. Art is a means to lift up, not tear down,” Hill said.

Hill also says it is a proven fact that stu-

Panthers’ offense starts with offensive line Woodland Park has a solid starting five in the trenches

By Danny Summers

dsummers@colorado communitymedia.com They may not have a cool nickname like “The Seven Blocks of Granite” or “Monsters of the Midway,” but the Woodland Park High School football offensive linemen are committed to becoming the best at their positions.

“We have a very solid line this year,” said Woodland Park head coach Joe Roskam. “We pull and trap a lot.

“It’s not very complicated, but guys have to do their assignments.”

Roskam especially likes the leadership of junior right guard Devin Carter, who also starts at nose guard on defense.

“He gets us where we need to be going

every down,” Roskam said. “Sometimes I go and ask him what he’s seeing out there.

He tells me and that helps us out.”

The 6-foot, 260-pound Carter enjoys being in the trenches.

“Some plays I pull and some plays I block down,” Carter said. “I like pulling better.”

Carter added that the offense is less complicated than last season when Rob Royer was the offensive coordinator. Royer left to be the head coach at Rampart, so Roskam switched back from defensive coordinator to offensive coordinator.

“I like the offense a lot better this year,” Carter said. “We have more variety in plays.”

Woodland Park is averaging about 300 yards a game on the ground.

“That means we’re doing our jobs,” said Panthers’ senior center Hunter Wilson. “We talk a lot on the line. We double check our assignments.

“I pretty much stay neutral, but when-

ever a guard pulls I block down to get the man they are pulling away from.”

Wilson missed last season with a concussion.

The rest of the starting line consists of right tackle Nick Hines, left guard Orion Drummond and left tackle Joel Wooley.’

“We try to hold each other accountable,” Wilson said. “For us to be successful we have to focus on keeping our heads on straight and focus on our assignments.”

Woodland Park offensive line coach Brett Nelson knows his guys are doing a good job when the Panthers’ defense is on the sidelines the majority of the game.

“That means we’re controlling the line on offense,” Nelson said. “We’re not making penalties and doing things that will slow us down.

“At Summit (on Sept. 12), we had a six-and-a-half minute drive and a nineminute drive in the second half. Summit had the ball for like three plays in the third quarter. That’s what we want. That’s how

we want to control the game.”

The offensive linemen are sort of the unsung heroes of most teams. Nelson knows that, but he’s also aware of just how important his guys are to the success of the team.

“The season will go as they play,” Nelson said. “They understand that. We have high expectations for them.

“They all work together. Devin has played just about every position on the line so he kind of helps everyone out. He calls out the alignments. With Nick being new to his right he checks with Nick and then Devin checks with Hunter. And Wooley’s calling from the other side.”

Hines added that he and his fellow linemen are well aware when the offense is working well.

“When things aren’t going so well we try to keep each other pumped and remind each other that it’s just one play and move on.”

Woodland Park softball team thinking about postseason Panthers are 13-2 overall and ranked 10th in the state in one poll

By Danny Summers

dsummers@colorado communitymedia.com The Woodland Park High School softball team is good. Very good.

But do these Panthers have what it takes to earn a high seed when District pairings are announced next month?

“We sure hope so,” said Woodland Park coach Dale Huntington. “We were ranked 10th in the state in the last poll I saw. That means we would play a #22 seed in the playoffs.

“I think that would be huge for us, but we still have to go out and perform and play to the best of our ability.”

Huntington is in his fourth season as coach of the Panthers (ninth overall). He guided the program to three postseason appearances in his first three seasons, but the Panthers wound up 0-6 in the playoffs.

“We’d like t change that trend this year,” Huntington said.

It’s not that Huntington, his coaching staff or his players are looking beyond the rest of their Class 4A Metro League schedule, but Woodland Park has already clinched at least a tie for the title.

The Panthers are 13-2 overall, 6-0 in league, and basically jockeying for as high

of a postseason seed as they can earn at this point.

“We want to see some good pitching so we can figure out what to do with it,” Huntington said. “There aren’t very many toplevel pitchers in our league, so I’m hoping we can get a scrimmage with Pine Creek or Rampart before playoffs begin.”

Woodland Park has the best pitcher in its league in the name of senior righthander Lexie Comer. On Sept. 16, Comer struck out 13 Canon City batters in a 7-0 victory. She allowed just three hits while keeping Tigers hitters off balance with her screwball, changeup and rise ball.

“Lexie could be all-conference and player of the year in our conference,” Huntington said. “That’s how good she is.

She’s doing an excellent job. She just gets it done.”

Comer also added an inside the park home run, triple and single against Canon City.

What made the victory especially impressive was that Canon City’s pitcher, Bayley Hammel, entered the game with a 4-0 record and 0.27 ERA. She had 55 strikeouts and just eight walks in 25 2/3 innings.

But Woodland Park batters got her for 11 hits. In addition to Comer’s three hits, Chrissy Cunningham had three hits, while Brenna Peters and Hayley Corbiere had two hits each.

Comer has been batting leadoff or second most of the season. The usual top five

Woodland Park junior Gabbi Talbot has helped the Woodland Park softball team to an undefeated mark in Class 4A Metro League play. Photo by Paul Magnuson - but subject to change - of the batting order are Jeanette Worscheck (.556 batting average), Comer (.558), Cunningham (.474), Celeste Cervantes (.469) and Corbiere (.444).

“We’ve got some hitters,” Huntington said. “They put a lot of work in.”

Woodland Park closes out its regular season league play Sept. 23 against Widefield. The Panthers then play three games in the Metro League tournament, which has no bearing on the order of league fin-

ish. If all goes according to plan, Woodland Park will finish the regular season 17-2 - its best regular season mark in school history.

Thirty-two teams qualify for the playoffs. There are eight four-team district sites with the top two teams from each site advancing to the state tournament.

“Boy, it sure would be nice to make it to the state tournament,” Huntington said.

“These girls will give it everything they’ve got.”

Panthers battling on the soccer field Woodland Park is 1-5 overall, 0-2 in league play

By Danny Summers

dsummers@colorado communitymedia.com Woodland Park soccer players, coaches and team managers knew they would have their hands full going into their Class 4A Metro League opener against The Classical Academy on Sept. 16.

Midway through the second half TCA went up 10-0 and the game was called due to the 10-goal rule.

While the outcome wasn’t the ideal scenario for Woodland Park, the Panthers did take away a few positives.

“If we’re going to improve we have to start every game off with more intensity,” said junior midfielder Nick McMorris. “We have to work it around the middle more and communicate more.”

Two days after the TCA game, Woodland Park was shutout by Mitchell, 8-0, to fall to 1-5 overall.

“We definitely have time to correct things, but we have to keep our heads up,” McMorris said.

Junior Cody Stroup is one Woodland Park’s team captains and is tied for the team lead in goals with five. He is very vocal on and off the field.

“We’ve played some very good teams this season,” Stroup said. “We just need to play smart and we need to work on our touches.

“Our problem is that we can’t look up and see the whole field. We’re just not there yet. But smart play is basically the thing we need to work on.”

The top three teams in the Metro League automatically advance to the postseason. At 0-2 in league, Woodland Park almost has to win out to grab one of the automatic bids.

First-year coach Noel Sawyer has about 30 players involved in the program and has seen improvement, despite his team being outscored 31-15.

Woodland Park’s victory came against 2A Evangelical Christian, 11-1.

“You will see huge improvement in this program next year and the years to come,” Sawyer said. “We have seasoned players, but a lot of them play other sports.

“We only have three kids who play club soccer. That needs to change if we’re going to compete with the TCAs and better teams in the area.”

Sawyer noted that TCA, a traditional 3A state power playing its first season at the 4A level, has 14 club players. TCA defeated defending 4A state champion Cheyenne Mountain, 1-0, earlier this month.

“If you look around you will see that the better teams have most of their roster filled with club players,” Sawyer said. “That’s not an excuse. That’s just reality.”

Sawyer is hoping to have his players get involved in an indoor league over the winter and play club ball next spring and summer.

“We need to focus on getting our players to play year-round,” he said.

Among the pleasant surprises for the Panthers this season is freshman Kristian Hooker, who has tallied five goals. Hooker, McMorris and Stroup are the only club players on the team.

“I have a feeling this program has a great future because coach is definitely dedicated,” Stroup said. “We’ve got an up and coming team.”

Baby Boomers Benefit From Knee Arthritis Treatments Their Parents Could Only Dream About Cutting-Edge Treatments and Technology Are Helping Knee Arthritis Sufferers Avoid Knee Replacement Surgery and Stay Active In Their 50’s, 60’s, 70’s and even 80’s

If you would like to discover a safe and effective medical treatment for knee arthritis pain and stiffness that has already helped thousands just like you, this will be the most important information you ever read.

Here is why: Back in 2010, a medical clinic in Colorado Springs, CO named Osteo Relief Institute did something that would change the lives of thousands and thousands of people.

They developed a knee arthritis treatment program specifically designed for the knee arthritis sufferers who not only want to relieve pain and stiffness... but also want to stay active.

As patients got results... the word spread like wildfire. Now the clinic receivesan overwhelming number of new patient inquiries per

month. It seems like every knee arthritis sufferer in the area wants this treatment. Some travel as many as 3 hours to be treated by the experts at Osteo Relief Institute.

But here’s where the story gets really good... for YOU Because they knew how frustrating knee arthritis is and how life changing relieving their pain was... many patients wanted to share their story with others.

That’s why they are willing to travel to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida and tell their stories for a special documentary being made about Osteo Relief Institute and their knee pain treatment methods.

Patients like William La S. flew to Florida and told how he couldn’t play golf due to arthritis pain - and now after

“ I wish I had known this 5 years ago...”

“ I just thank God for this treatment”

“I’ve had trouble with my knee walking. I’m a golfer and want to play golf but I couldn’t. I made the call and went down [to the Osteo Relief Institute] and it’s the best thing I ever did. It’s just – now I can play golf, I can walk, I can climb stairs, I can do things I did many years ago”.

“It’s the smartest thing I ever did. Since I’ve been going to Osteo Relief for my knees I don’t take any pills, I take no over the counter medication...”

“This is a good alternative to surgery. I am so glad I went. I’m so confident I feel so good about it and I recommend it to everybody.” “Call up Osteo Relief. What have you got to lose. Have them check it out and they may help you.”

“I wish I had known this five years ago.”

“I really, couldn’t hardly walk.

They wanted to replace both my knees, and I did not want both my knees replaced.”

“Since I had the treatment I had been able to walk, I was able to walk up the steps. I was able to bend my knee and I’m able to shop in the supermarket with the carriage, which I was never able to do all the time - now I’m able to walk down the street and able to walk in the park.

I’m able to even lift things and go up the steps which is a miracle. I just thank God for the treatment.”

“It made me feel like a new woman. It was amazing.” ”I can’t thank that doctor and staff enough for what they had done for me. I would tell anyone who has gone through what I have to take the step.” ”I wish I’d known about this option years ago.”
