Test scores first out of the chute By Pat Hill

phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com It’s a whole new world out there for students who are now being tested exclusively on the computer. Gone are the paperand-pencil tests, the painstaking procedure where erasers have been replaced by cursors. Tested online in April for the first time, with scores released last week, students in the Woodland Park School District showed varying results. In social studies, for instance, just 13 percent of fourth-grade students and 17 percent of seventh-grade students showed a strong command of the subject. This year was the first for students to be tested in social studies. In science, however, 37 percent of fifth-grade students and 36 percent of eighth-grade students showed a strong command of the subject. “We were higher than the state average, which was in the 30s,” said Linda Murray, the district’s assistant superintendent. “We are asking our students to think more critically and explain their answers.” No doubt about it, the online testing is a challenge. “The students certainly have to have the ability to manipulate the laptop

computer,” Murray said. “We do some typing at school but now we have to do a lot more.” As well, the new Colorado Academic Standards are demanding, as Murray demonstrates in a practice social-studies test on her laptop. The test offers a selection of answers from primary and secondary sources. In a study of Leadville in the past century, for instance, fourthgraders are asked to write about what features might have attracted immigrants to the city at high altitude. As well, fourth-graders are asked to write about the challenges Leadville residents might have faced due to the physical environment. These are practice tests, Murray emphasizes. Another practice-test question has the students matching the names of Colorado cities on the online map, via the cursor. Along with the academics the new testing depends upon the district’s acquiring the laptops. “We bought a couple hundred laptops across the district so we’d have enough in every building in every grade,” Murray said. “Then we have the problem of some computers locking up — then we have to start over.” The district isn’t alone in dealing with new issues. “We have

The district’s test scores were higher last year in science than in social studies. The scores were released last week by the Colorado Department of Education.

have an opportunity to show what they know,” she said. “Everybody across the state is look-

ing at how we make sure students have opportunities to be prepared, regardless of what grade.”

As the new vice president and general manager of the Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Co., Lowe Billingsley oversees the expansion of operations, mine-life extension 2. “We started the Cresson project in 1994,” he said. “I remember the first scoop of rock that was blasted — it was pretty amazing.” Billingsley has a history with the county’s gold-mining district, first as an ore control geologist in 1989 with Texas Gulf’s Gold Star Project near the old town of Altman. “That was my first real exposure to operations,” he said. “There were only about five or six of us, so we got to do everything. It was an exciting and challenging time.” In August of that year Texas Gulf sold the company to Nerco Minerals and subsequently, Billingsley transferred to the company’s silver mine in Nevada. When the price of silver collapsed, he was asked to return to Teller County in 1991. “It was the first time in modern times that there was a large enough land package to where they could actually look at mining in a bulk massive open-pit scale,” he said. “That was the big catalyst that led to where we are today.” Sometime in the late 1990s, ownership of the mine changed to AngloGold Ashanti. For the next several years Billingsley served a variety of roles, ore control geologist, mine supervisor, chief engineer, manager of technical services and project manager for construction of the mine’s leach-pad phases. “As we started getting into more construction on the leach-

pad phases 4 and 5, I took over the strategic planning of all these activities, which we are executing today,” he said. Billingsley left the district in April 2009 to work with AngloGold America’s regional office in Denver, eventually becoming vice president of planning and strategy while managing the company’s operations in Cripple Creek, Brazil and Argentina. As a fifth-generation Coloradan, Billingsley carries an intimate history with the state through his ancestral lineage. “My grandfather and his two brothers actually worked at the Golden Cycle Mill on 21st Street in Colorado Springs,” he said. “They also worked on the railroad; all of them rode the train back and forth to Cripple Creek.” All these years later, Billingsley presides over what he views as a tenuous and challenging time for the industry. “We’re coming off what has really been a 10-year run on an increase in gold prices. In 2002, we were in a gold-depressed model where gold was about $245 an ounce,” he said. “It was a slow climb up to about 2007 when the price recovered. In early 2013, we were seeing gold prices touching $1,900 an ounce.” However, by late October gold slid to around $1,200 an ounce. “The exciting part for CC & V is that we are constructing the only major project for AngloGold globally — $580,000,000 in process facilities,” he said. “Fifty percent will have been invested by the end of the year which gives us the opportunity to produce higher-grade ore.” In the next three years, CCV plans include building the second gold-recovery valley-leach facility. The next milestone for CC & V will be around the fourth quarter of 2015 when the mine expects to celebrate 5 million ounces of gold

‘It was the first time in modern times that there was a large enough land package to where they could actually look at mining in a bulk massive open-pit scale. That was the big catalyst that led to where we are today.’ Lowe Billingsley produced since 1994. “At the same time we anticipate that we’ll claim there will be a fully-commissioned

100 percent production on the mill facility, so it will be two things at the same time.”

Woodland Park honored City recognized by USA Pro Challenge By Pat Hill

phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com It’s official. The city of Woodland Park won the award for the Best Stage Start Host City for the USA Pro Challenge. The city hosted the Stage 5 start Aug. 22. To welcome the racers from the USA Pro Challenge, the city threw an all-day party, with center stage on the green at the Ute Pass Cultural Center.

Mike Perini was the city’s chairman of the Local Organizing Committee and one of a team of officials who participated in the After-Action Review in Denver in October. “All participating communities were present. We had great dialogue, sharing of good news and sharing of things we can improve upon,” Perini writes in an email to members of the LOC committee. “Your hard work is being recognized and I am so proud of each one of you for your role in the Stage 5 Start!!” There were seven stages of the Pro Challenge race, with 6 stage-start host cities.

Historic Mary McKinney Mine logs to benefit museum Staff report Mine cribbing logs from the historic Mary McKinney Mine will go on sale to the public Nov. 14 and 15. The Mary McKinney Mine was founded in May of 1891 and produced almost $6 million in gold at 1932 pricing. The large cribbing wall was built to prevent the mine’s dump rock from falling onto the railroad bed. As part of the Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Co.’s permitted operations extension and ongoing effort to save historic structures in the mining district, logs from the decaying Mary McKinney crib wall were utilized by CC & V’s in the realignment of Highway 67, between Victor and Cripple Creek, to preserve a por-

tion the landmark and construct a scenic overlook of the Arkansas River Valley. Other logs from the wall were donated for use to the city of Victor and other nonprofits for smaller landscaping projects in the area. More than 1,000 of these historic logs remain and will be made available for sale to the community at only $10 per log with all proceeds being given to the nonprofit Victor Lowell Thomas Museum. Although they vary in quality and are not guaranteed as to their structural integrity, these logs have historical character and could be used to make distinctive retaining walls and landscape improvements that relate to the district’s mining heritage. They vary in dimension ranging from 9 to 12 inches in diameter, with lengths from 6

to 12 feet. Because of years of exposure to the elements, the logs are weathered and very heavy. These logs will be sold on Friday, Nov. 14, and Saturday, Nov. 15, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at a site near CC & V’s Ironclad Operations Center Site northeast of Cripple Creek. From Highway 67 take Teller County Road 82 to the Intersection with the Ironclad Access Road (from Teller County Road 81, take Teller County Road 82 to the same intersection.) This intersection is near the historic Hoosier Mine Complex above Cripple Creek. Signs will be posted at the intersection — follow the gravel road for less than one mile to the site located on the right hand side of the road. Cash buyers only will be allowed to

purchase as many logs as will fit on one trailer or in one pickup truck — one load per buyer so they can be spread throughout the community. Buyers will be required to sign security and liability waiver forms and must load their own logs. For safety purposes, hard hats and safety glasses will be required and loaned at the site. Also, all buyers must wear appropriate clothing, closed toe shoes, and bring gloves. Note that if this sales event is canceled because of weather, or if the log inventory sells out, a voice message will be left on the following number. For more information, call Brad Poulson at 719-689-4052 or email bpoulson@anglogoldashantiNA.com.

Cycling challenge brings in $130M in revenue Event a financial loss for Woodland Park By Danny Summers

dsummers@coloradocommunitymedia.com Sponsorship Science, a global sports research firm, conducted a survey after last summer’s sevenday USA Pro Cycle Challenge and found that the economic impact on the state was $130 million. In Woodland Park, race organizing officials estimate the race cost the city money — at least in the short term, but will return benefits in the long run. “Of our investment of $152,000, we raised about $62,000 in total revenue,” said Brian Fleer, the executive director of the Office of Economic and Downtown Development. Fleer and dozens of other local residents, worked with the Woodland Park local organizing committee that put together the local portion of the race. Woodland Park was the starting point for Stage 5 of the race on Aug. 22. The race finished that day in Breckenridge. According to Fleer, of the $90,000 expense the city incurred, $85,000 of that was put right back into local businesses and the community. “You will always have some taxpayers saying `Why are we subsidizing local businesses with tax dollars?’” Fleer said. “But in the long run it can be a boon to local businesses. “I think we will see the impact of this race, from an economic standpoint, over many months.” Nearly 10,000 race fans and curious onlookers made their way to Woodland Park for Stage 5. Of the $62,000 generated in rev-

enue, about $12,000 came from merchandise sales, while $40,000 was in sponsorships, according to Fleer. Race day also brought with it unexpected damp and cool air, and a morning weather forecast that called for rain; which is odd for the summertime in Woodland Park. “There were reports that (Ute Pass) was closed,” Fleer said. “That may have had an effect on some people coming up. We think that impacted our numbers. According to the report by Sponsorship Science, race fans living inside and outside of Colorado who traveled at least 50 miles to watch a stage contributed $130 million on food, lodging, transportation, and entertainment during the race. That is a 12 percent increase from the 2013 total. Sponsorship Science claims the increased spending was due to fans staying more nights in hotels and an increase in hotel fees. “We have 85 hotel rooms and they were all filled,” Fleer said. “I think we definitely benefited in that way. The people who stayed here — mostly race officials — spent money on fuel, food and other items.” The report by Sponsorship Science said that almost 71 percent of people who traveled to the race from outside the state said they would return for the 2015 edition. “Seeing the enthusiasm and passion from the fans lining the streets during the 2014 USA Pro Challenge really gave a sense of the growing support for the sport of cycling in the U.S.,” USA Pro Challenge owner Rick Schaden said in the report. “This race showcases Colorado to the world and creates an incredible economic impact locally that can be

The Woodland Park stage was featured during the television broadcast. The Sponsorship Science report also had some other interesting information Spectators traveled in groups, with the average party consisting of three people. The average hotel stay for spectators was 5.3 nights, an in-

crease in from 2013. Fifty-three percent of race attendees live in households with income exceeding $85,000, and within that group 32 percent had household incomes in excess of $120,000. More than half of spectators in attendance reported they ride a bike for fitness, with 47 percent saying they engage in road cycling a lot. The 2014 USA Pro Cycling Challenge had 128 cyclists, many of whom have competed in the Tour de France and other major cycling events around the world. The Pro Challenge is considered the toughest road race in America. Sponsorship Science, LLC de-

signed the study from the outset to deliver consistent, defensible results which address many of the contentious issues surrounding economic impact reporting. Fleer said Pro Challenge organizers are already working on next year’s event. “We should know in the next 30 days if we get a call asking us if we want to be part of the event in 2015,” he said. “If we do get involved again, whether that’s next year or down the road, maybe we go after bigger sponsors. “It would be nice to plan it out three to five years so we can broadcast it to the greater community and we can make more plans that can benefit the community.”

Pikes Peak Region to recommend improvements for walking, biking For the Courier The Pikes Peak Area Council of Governments, in partnership with El Paso County and the cities of Colorado Springs and Woodland Park, has reached a major milestone in shaping the future of the region’s transportation network for bicycle, pedestrian and other nonmotorized users. The PPACG board of directors recently approved routes where infrastructure improvements are recommended, as part of the Regional Nonmotorized Transportation System Plan. The goal of this planning effort is to make nonmotorized activities a more attractive transportation alternative by ensuring the region’s on- and off-street bike system, multi-modal trails, sidewalks, road

crossings and other infrastructure are safe, connected, easy to use and well-maintained. The project team used local input to develop an Existing Conditions Report and a network of 68 improvement corridors that provides an outline for where to focus federal and state funding for future nonmotorized projects. After refining prioritization criteria with Technical and Stakeholder Task Force groups, a list of ten improvement corridors for more detailed recommendations was developed. The team also developed a design guidelines report that recommends different types of improvements based on how safe and easy it is to bike or walk in an area. “This Plan is critical to securing funding for improvements,” said Craig Casper,

Regional Transportation Director. “Projects must be included in the Regional Transportation Plan in order to be eligible for Federal Transportation Alternatives Program funding.” The Nonmotorized Plan is a section of the RTP. Other potential funding sources include the State Safe Routes to Schools Program and the Pikes Peak Rural Transportation Authority. The project website at walkbikeconnect. org allows people to place comments on a map in order to suggest improvements or highlight issues with the current network. The comments will be incorporated into the project planning process and will help inform the future of nonmotorized transportation in the Pikes Peak region. The website also provides more detail on the planning process, frequently asked ques-

tions, and components of the draft plan. The draft Regional Nonmotorized Transportation System Plan is expected to be released for public comment in January 2015. Community members will be welcome to attend a series of public meetings in late January to learn about the recommendations and provide feedback.

About PPACG

PPACG is a voluntary association of 16 municipal and county governments serving the Pikes Peak region. Since 1967, PPACG has worked to ensure that local governments have a forum to discuss issues that cross their political boundaries, identify shared opportunities and challenges, and develop collaborative strategies for action.

New location for Choices’ benefit Shining Mountain hosts boutique Nov. 7 and 8 By Pat Hill phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com A new venue along with an opportunity to do lunch and shop, the fourth-annual Rocky Mountain Christmas Boutique offers a social occasion and browsing experience at Shining Mountain Golf Club. A cornucopia of hand-crafted items, the boutique is a benefit for Choices, a nonprofit organization that helps young people who encounter unplanned or crisis pregnancies. The boutique fosters camaraderie among the crafters, who spend all year on design and creation. “There are so many nice craft fairs around that we try to make unusual items,” said Dianna McMillan, cofounder of the boutique committee. The crafts are varied and include gift baskets for newborns, holiday decorations, children’s furniture, quilts, an arrangement of baked goods and a bucket filled with makings for S’mores. While working together taps their creative buttons the crafters are dedicated to helping young people who come to Choices. “We feel like we are contributing to Choices in a way that we use our gifts,” McMillan said. “We kind of feel, like back in our grandparents’ day, we are continuing the quilting- bee concept.” The crafters emanate rays of sunshine. “When I went to visit the arts room of `glory and goodness,’ there was so much joy and happiness you could feel it,” said Christine Lukasavige, marketing director for the benefit. “So you know these crafts are made with enthusiasm and love.” With offices in Woodland Park and Cripple Creek, Choices has served 218 clients for more than 1,400 visits this year. “Since January, we’ve had 25 babies born in our organization,” said executive director Kathryn Perry. Most of the visits were for the parenting program, a weekly class for young mothers

and fathers, she said. Choices has a wealth of stories about young people caught in traumatic situations “A couple of months ago, a young woman came in who was scared to tell her mom she was pregnant; her boyfriend was pressuring her to abort,” Perry said. “By coming in here, the client advocate helped her `role-play’ talking to her mom about what was going on in her life.”

The advocate helped the young woman feel empowered, Perry said. “By the time she came in the next week her mom was by her side, committed to being with her as she addressed the relationship issue, dealt with the abuse and the pregnancy,” Perry said. The advocates change lives by offering emotional support. “We didn’t do anything other than provide a safe haven for her to recognize her own strengths and re-

sources,” Perry said. “We didn’t provide any resources other than giving her a place to stop and think through how she was going to proceed.” In its fourth year, the boutique contributes 6 percent of Choices’ annual budget of $200,000. “That’s huge,” Perry said. Rocky Mountain Christmas Boutique is from 9 a.m.to 6 p.m. Nov. 7 and 8 at Shining Mountain Golf Club. The club offers 10 percent off on lunch during the boutique.

GIs jam state’s schools after World War II “Education is an ornament in prosperity and a refuge in adversity.” __ Aristotle, 4th Century B.C. With the G.I. Bill authorized by Congress in 1944 and signed into law by Franklin D. Roosevelt on June 22 of that year, returning veterans flooded into Colorado institutions of higher education after World War II. The Serviceman’s Readjustment Act, as it was officially labeled, provided for college or vocational education and a year of unemployment compensation. My father, graduating from high school just as the war was ending, tells of a freshman year sleeping in the Field House on College Avenue in Fort Collins. The building had been set up as a makeshift dormitory at Colorado A & M (before it was Colorado State University) because the influx of returning soldiers. “All told, some 117,000 Colorado veterans took advantage of the opportunities the nation offered them (both World War II returnees and, later, those returning from the Korean conflict) to study at college or a university,” according to “A Colorado History,” by Carl Ubbelohde, Maxine Benson, and Duane Smith. “But this was only a part of the story. Another 9,400 veterans received vocational rehabilitation training; another 77,800 used the home loan benefits provided; 5,200 qualified for similar facilities for purchasing farms, and 2,200 for business loans. The impact on the state’s

economy, its educational facilities, and on the returning veterans themselves, stands a marked contrast to the earlier experience of the month’s and years that followed the Armistice of 1918.” At Colorado A & M, the school switched from a semester to a quarter system to expedite the enrollment of former servicemen and the enrollment almost doubled in a single year. About 1,040 students began in the fall of 1945 but by spring, 1946, 1600 were enrolled and two thirds of the new student population was veterans in need of immediate place to stay. By late 1946, 3,500 students jammed the institution and in an effort to provide quick and cheap housing, Quonset huts had been set up at the corners of West Laurel and Shields Street. A trailer court also appeared beside Veteran Village in the fall of 1946. Additionally, the school lost nearly 50 faculty to other colleges and universities that were able to attract them away higher salaries as they struggled with their own swelling student populations

brought on by the same circumstances across the country. The University of Colorado at Boulder also experienced doubling of its enrolled population and they established a similar Quonset hut village. “Trailers, followed by 60 Quonset huts purchased from the Federal Housing Authority, were installed on land at the corner of 24th (now Folsom) and Arapahoe for married students and their families; the area quickly became known as ‘Vetsville,’” according to Coloradan, The University of Colorado alumni magazine. “Vetsville Council, children’s holiday parties and P.H.T. (Putting Hubby Through) commencement ceremonies for supportive wives helped establish a close-knit community. To the regret of students who paid only $62 rent each month, the Quonset huts were demolished in 1973.” There was still a few remaining Quonset huts on campus in the early 1980s in Fort Collins when I attended Colorado State University, though I think they were used for storage, rather than housing. With only 400 square feet of living space, cold steel walls, and the odd rounded corners to deal with, former students I’ve spoken with who lived in them (though they appreciate the experience and the low rent at the time) tell me, they understand why they were abandoned.

Fall prep sports season winding down The high school fall sports scene is winding down and soon the winter games of basketball, wrestling, hockey and girls swimming will take center stage. I am fortunate as a reporter for Colorado Community Media to write for two of our papers - the Tri-Lakes Tribune and Pikes Peak Courier View. The high schools I cover for the Tribune include Lewis-Palmer, Palmer Ridge, Discovery Canyon and The Classical Academy. In Teller County I cover Woodland Park and Cripple Creek-Victor. Before we transition into winter sports, there are still a few fall sports still in full swing. The Lewis-Palmer volleyball team will take its No. 1 state ranking to the Denver Coliseum this weekend (Nov. 7-8) and join 11 other Class 4A teams in a battle for the Golden Ball. The Rangers (25-0) are vying for a second consecutive state championship. Lewis-Palmer has won 31 consecutive matches dating to Nov. 2, 2013.

The Discovery Canyon football team will enter the 3A playoffs as the No. 1 seed in the 16-team bracket for a second consecutive season. The Thunder concluded its first-ever undefeated regular season on Oct. 31 with a thrilling 34-32 overtime victory over Canon City for the Southern League title. The Thunder is looking to win its firstever playoff football game in its third try in as many seasons. The Palmer Ridge football team, which plays in 4A, needed a victory over No. 1 ranked Pine Creek (the defending state champion) on Halloween to secure

a trip to the playoffs. The Bears lost 4814, ending their year with a 6-4 record, a one-game improvement over 2013. Unfortunately for Woodland Park and Cripple Creek-Victor, there will be no playoffs for their football or volleyball teams. The Woodland Park football team ended its season on a down note by losing in overtime to Mitchell, 42-40. The Panthers were 2-8 this season after going 5-5 in 2013. Woodland Park coach Joe Roskam has worked tirelessly in his four seasons after inheriting a team that was winless in 2010. Roskam has combined record of 15-25, including a pair of 5-5 campaigns. CC-V endured tough seasons on the gridiron (0-9) and on the volleyball court (0-19). But the gritty Pioneers are resilient and they will rebuild their sports programs much sooner than later. Declining enrollment has not helped

If you thought Halloween was scary... Welcome to American Diabetes month. If you thought Halloween was scary, wait until you read about the devastating effect diabetes has on the human body. According to the American Diabetes Association (http://www.diabetes. org/), nearly 30 million adults and children in the United States have diabetes. Another 86 million have prediabetes and are at a high risk of developing full-blown type 2 diabetes in the next 5 to 10 years. I know a little bit about the toll diabetes can take. My mother died of complications from the disease. It was a painful death to watch as the degradation of her health went on for years. First there were the ministrokes that increased in frequency and intensity, until one put her in a coma leaving her bedridden. Although, she regained consciousness, she was never able to speak or care for herself again. Next came the lost of vision culminating in near-blindness followed by a small bedsore on the heel of her left foot that ended with the amputation of her leg. And finally, congestive heart failure mercifully ended her life. I’d like to urge you to be proactive in the battle against diabetes. Let’s talk prediabetes. The Mayo Clinic defines prediabe-

tes as a state

where your blood sugar is higher than normal but not yet high enough to be classified as type 2 diabetes. To draw an analogy, prediabetes is akin to being pre-hypertensive or having osteopenia. The exact cause of prediabetes is unknown. What we do know is that people who have the disorder are not processing glucose properly anymore. This causes sugar to accumulate in the bloodstream, instead of being taken up into the cells of muscle and other body tissues. The diagnosis of prediabetes serves as a warning that a person is at risk for developing not only type 2 diabetes but cardiovascular disease and stroke as well. The problem is that 90 percent of those with prediabetes are unaware they have it. The ADA says the chances of having prediabetes goes up if you’re 45 years-of-age or older, have a parent or sibling with diabetes or are overweight or sedentary. You’re also

at risk if you are hypertensive, have low HDL’s or had diabetes during pregnancy or have been diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome. Often, prediabetes has no signs or symptoms. Classic red flags are increased thirst, frequent urination, persistent fatigue or blurred vision. Acanthosis nigricans … a condition resulting in darkened skin … is one of the few discernable signs suggesting you’re at risk. Common areas affected include the neck, armpits, elbows, knees and knuckles. I saved the good news for last. Prediabetes is not a death sentence but rather an opportunity for you to improve your health. Progression to type 2 diabetes isn’t inevitable.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor: Regarding Rev. David Shaw’s letter concerning his being “thrilled” with the legalization of samesex marriage in our state, I feel that I must respond by simply quoting the Bible, which is God’s own clear perspective on this issue, and by which all men and women will be ultimately held eternally accountable, whether they believe it or not. The Old Testament, Leviticus 18:22, written by Moses, states: “You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination”. In the New Testament, Romans 1:18-32 is very clear when it comes to homosexual practices. Here are some excerpts: v.18: “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodli-

ness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness.” v.24: “Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them.” V.26-28: “For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error. And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do

the Pioneers’ cause as their pool of athletes has dwindled significantly over the last decade. I like covering high school sports for a number of reasons. There’s something about the purity of the games, excitement of the crowds and sounds of the school marching bands or pep bands that so many people can quickly and easily identify with. The state cross country meet, held Oct. 25 at Norris-Penrose Events Center, brought together nearly 1,000 runners from across the state. It was one of the most exhilarating events I’ve covered in a while. Those kids left it all on the course and held nothing back. I have enjoyed getting to know the coaches and school administrators in my 14 seasons covering sports in the Pikes Peak region. I was sad when Lewis-Palmer football coach Tony Ramunno stepped down last summer (for health reasons) after 30 years on the sidelines. He is an institution in Monument and well respected by coaches all over the state. It’s also a pleasure to talk with athletic directors. Go to a Lewis-Palmer vs. Palmer Ridge event and you will likely see AD’s Nick Baker and Jimmy Porter, respectively, joking and laughing. I have known TCA athletic director Gary Geiger since his days at Pikes Peak

those things which are not proper.” There are many other significant and powerful words throughout scripture which encourage us to live holy and pure lives according to the clear standards of what constitutes Godliness, and complete and absolute forgiveness for those who realize they are doing wrong, ask forgiveness of their loving Creator, and turn away from their sinful behaviors, whatever they may be. As a 36- year Christian Missionary who has worked extensively with transvestite street prostitutes in Singapore, as well as in the prison system there, and with strippers, lesbians, and others with gender/sex related issues for many years, as well as 14 years with Native Americans on their Reser-

Christian. We ran into each other on Nov. 1 at Lewis-Palmer, where TCA was playing in a regional, and again at TCA, where the Titans’ boys’ soccer team was hosting quarterfinals playoff game. Discovery Canyon athletic director Sharon Lauer - a Lewis-Palmer alumnus is as passionate about all of the Thunder teams as anybody in her position I have ever met. In Teller County, Woodland Park AD Michael DeWall has made the transition from head football coach to administrator and lobbies hard for his players to get the best recognition possible. CC-V athletic director Jim Bertrand - a former Woodland Park coach - is the glue that holds the athletic department together. Bertrand’s battle with cancer over the last three years is an inspiration to me and many more people. While I wish I could be at many more athletic events and write dozens more stories on players and coaches, I am bound by my inability to be in more than one place at one time. That is where you come in. If you know of interesting sports stories, or take interesting photos at games, please email me or call me. I will do my best to get that information in the papers and make sure athletes, their coaches and teams get the credit they deserve. As a community newspaper we strive to serve you the best we can. We may fall short at times, but please know we care very much about the people we serve.

vations, I have experienced the genuine, unconditional, limitless love that God the Father has for them and all of us, without exception.

Oil

Over the years I have run across unusual stories about our oil boom. Yes, they found oil as far north as Monument, and west at Colorado City. I found this very early item quite interesting because of who was one of the investors. Oil had been found in Colorado City in the 1880’s, and it quickly became a gas well. Natural gas was used in homes in that area very early. The search for oil in this area started in the 1880’s. Many exploratory wells were drilled before anything was found. For three months in early 1901 a well actually was found just outside Colorado Springs to be able to produce reasonable oil. Now in 1901 a reasonable amount of oil was anything over a barrel an hour! This first producer was a mile west of the railroad station at Buttes. That would put it just about on Fort Carson. A company was already buying the oil, being loaded at Buttes. There was talk of building a pipe line over to Buttes for loading. You may know Canon City is a big oil producing area starting also in the 1880’s. A refinery was built at Overton, just north of Pueblo in the late 1880’s. The oil exploration and discoveries in the area between Fountain and north Pueblo was quite sporadic, but it lasted for nearly thirty years, with several good wells. The oil was not very deep, as oil goes, but most were short lived and mainly produced gas. Modern day Fracking is a process that can bring life back to old wells, but so far these areas have not proved to be large enough to be worth reopening. The part I found most interesting was that W.S. Stratton was one of the primary investors in these 1901 wells. He was a recent millionaire, having sold his Independence Mine near Victor. He was doing a good job at spending his fortune. He also purchased the Colorado Springs street car line, and was looking at extending it all the way to Canon City, by way of Florence. He never did this, but he certainly spent a fortune on the Colorado Springs street cars. He was also buying up old mines in Cripple Creek, but never did as well as the Independence, which was just outside Victor. His oil wells never amounted to much, but some of the land he purchased became Myron Stratton Home, named for his father, at the south end of Colorado Springs, and he owned many major buildings in downtown Colorado Springs.

Poe spirit at CC homecoming week By Nina Philips For the Courier

The “Masque of the Red Death” by Edgar Allen Poe is not usually a thought that goes through a student’s head at Cripple Creek-Victor Junior/Senior High School. But the homecoming theme, chosen by Voices of Youth Changing Education, was “Masque of the Red Death.” The short story is about a prince of England who struggled to avoid the Red Death by hiding in his castle. While he was there, he helped the other rich families avoid the plague and had a grand party to distract from the chaos outside the walls. There were seven rooms and each was designed with a different color theme, blue, purple, green, orange, white, violet and black.

VOYCE students decided that grades would get colors to represent them during the homecoming week — picked by the representatives in the group. Seniors got white, the central color of the dance. Purple was given to juniors, green to sophomores, orange to freshmen, and blue to junior high. Each grade was allowed to decorate a specified hallway in the school, to be judged on aesthetic appeal. The tenth grade won and the students received the school’s two stuffed donkeys. There were also themes given to days of that school week from Oct. 6 to 9. Monday was pajama day; Tuesday, sport/hat day; Wednesday, Wacky Wednesday, superhero/tutu/ugly sweater day; and Thursday was the regular red/white/blue day, but with a mustache.

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of homecoming week held exciting events. Tuesday held a volleyball game of students against the fire and police department. Any student was allowed to sign up and those who did not participate cheered, stomped, and chanted as the game went on; rooting for their peers. Unfortunately, the students lost by just a few points in each game, even having a tie in the last one of the day. Wednesday’s event was a powder-puff football game. Female students had a chance to play flag football against each other. For both of the sports — and the parade after — the elementary-school students were allowed to come and watch. They had a wonderful time, helping to cheer for their favorite team and showing their spirit as well. During the football game,

some of the students brought posters and held them up as their favorite team. At the parade, they were given candy and sticky notes. Many ran out to try and get a highfive from the high-school students. The main event of homecoming, the dance, was Oct. 10. The theme of “Masque of the Red Death” was also applied to the cafeteria where the dance was held. Colored streamers, tablecloths, and food were placed around the room. It was a week full of spirit, fun, and activities. Everyone was eager and willing to participate in some way. Some of the students went all out, dressing up every day and participating in every event. It is a week that will be remembered throughout the school year.

Florissant Fossil Beds to waive entrance fees for Veterans Day Staff report In celebration of Veterans Day, Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument will offer free admission to the public on Nov. 11. This fee free day is offered to all visitors in honor of current members, retired members and reserve members of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families. This fee-free day has been observed since 2006. Waiving entrance fees to all Na-

tional Park Service sites on Veterans Day is one way to show appreciation for the millions of men and women who fight to keep America’s public lands accessible to all Americans. Veterans Day falls on Nov. 11 of every year. The holiday was created as a result of the signing of the armistice between Germany and the Allied nations at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918. In 1954, the U.S. Congress approved

Nov. 11 as the day to honor all American veterans for their service to and sacrifices made for the United States.

WPMS students just say no By Stacy Schubloom For the Courier

Red Ribbon Week is the nationwide campaign for students to say no to drugs. During the last week of October, Woodland Park Middle School students received three substance-abuse prevention lessons in their homeroom classes. They signed a banner during lunch pledging to be drug-free and designed their own posters with anti-drug/healthy body slogans for a schoolwide competition. To support WPMS, North Teller Build a Generation purchased the banner, bracelets, bookmarks and prizes for the poster contest. The winning classes received a yogurt parfait breakfast. “It is exciting that our schools and community organizations are partnering to make sure young people know how to be the best decision-makers in the future,” said Kate Kettler, counselor at the middle school. Sixth-graders, in Ms. Losoyas’s class, at the Woodland Park Middle School, are winners of the Red Ribbon Week poster contest.

Woodland Park student debuts on Broadway By Pat Hill

phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com Matthew McMahan made his Broadway debut as Feuilly in “Les Miserables” at the Imperial Theatre last month. McMahan, a 2005 graduate of Woodland Park High School, was a music student of the late Marta Dickson at Gateway. At her suggestion, McMahan tried out for and was accepted into the Colorado Springs Chorale. In middle school, he sang in the choir and was a member of the forensics team. In high school, McMahan studied music under Morton Dickson. “He was always part of the plays and musicals in the Woodland Park schools as well as the community,” said his mother, Misty McMahnn, in a press release to the newspaper. “I am so proud of him and am going to see him perform the first part of November.”

Whatever winter brings, roads crews are ready Plowing ahead, agencies prepare for the worst and hope for the best By Dave Smith

Contributing writer When it comes to guessing and making predictions one may think first of Las Vegas or even a local fortune teller. But there is another realm much closer to home that should not be left out – the local weather forecast. With forecasts drawn from numerous models, historical data and trends gathered and analyzed by sources ranging from the venerable Old Farmer’s Almanac to grandma’s gouty elbow people responsible for keeping area roads passable are taking a cautious approach in preparing for the coming winter. Bill Alspach, director of public works for the city of Woodland Park, doesn’t expect anything unusual this winter. Based on his weather forecasting resources Alspach is not planning anything drastic in the way of preparing for the snowy season. “The service that provides our weather forecasts says ours should be average,” Alspach said of local winter weather. “We have wanted average for a long time. We haven’t had an average winter in years, so it might seem extreme.” He said with Colorado winters being so unpredictable he takes a lot of the long range forecasts with a grain off salt. But even so, efforts to be ready for what may come are well under way. Salt and sand or stocked up and there should be no problems keeping the inventor stocked up like some places reported last winter when heavier than typical snow falls hit the eastern United States. Equipment such as plows and other heavy machinery, as well as the various attachments needed are inspected and prepared to go too. Personnel are trained and the seasonal transition is progressing as usual. Should things become extreme plans are in place to deal with those issues. “No, (we are not taking an) extraordinary or substantially varied approach,” Alspach said. A little higher up in the mountains a calm, but cautious approach is the plan. “We’re not going to panic,” explained Cripple Creek Director of Public Works Jim Blasing. “We are going about what we usually do, we would be negligent if we didn’t.” He said snow removal equipment is prepped and ready, training has been completed, and salt and sand mix known as Ice Slicer is ordered. About 1.5 times the typical amount was ordered, delivered in stages, to be on the safe side. The biggest concern in Blasing’s mind is safety above all else. Making sure people using the roads and the people keeping them clear are safe is the priority. To that end he said equipment is inspected and maintained in the best running condition, employees are regularly trained and plans in place, such as cross training equipment operators, to assure they are properly rested when working long hours removing snow. People walking in Cripple Creek during the winter have the advantage of heated sidewalks clearing the way for them. May parts of the downtown area have a glycolbased floor heating style system clearing the walkways when snow flies. The sysGET tems are powered by boilers located inside buildings. Brad Shaw, operations supervisor for the Teller County Transportation Department said he has no idea what this winter will bring. “We will be prepared for whatever comes, each storm is different,” Shaw noted. “We have everything ready and will attack each storm as we get them.” The county clears snow from about 600 miles of roads. Both Teller and El Paso counties, as well as Colorado Department of Transportation have agreements in place to work with communities and each other to make sure highways and rural roads are not neglected. “We cover the roads under our jurisdiction,” explained CDOT spokesman

Courtesy photos Bob Wilson. There are intergovernmental agreements where cities plow the state READY COLD WEATHER highwayFOR through town, such as Highway 24 in Woodland Park or parts of old Highway 67 in Cripple Creek. “We go into every year not knowing,” said Wilson. “We prepare for the worst and expect the best. Weather can change quickly so we always go into it full-force and that is what we are doing this year. We are not letting down our guard.” CDOT is responsible for 6 million lane miles. November is when the season starts to show itself, Wilson said so plans can begin to take further shape as the month progresses. Being Colorado, there could be more precipitation or less, lower temperatures or higher than normal and there is always the potential for major storms. With that in mind be sure to keep abreast of current conditions via media outlets and act appropriately to be safe.

Fire destroys home in Victor By Pat Hill

phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com There were no injuries in the fire that destroyed a single-family home at 105 S. 1st Street in Victor. The fire started at 4:45 p.m. Oct. 31 and was out by around 8 p.m., according to Sgt. Marc Porcelli, with the Teller County Sheriff’s Office. “There were three people in the house

but they were able to get out,” Porcelli said. Fire departments from Victor, Cripple Creek, Northeast Teller County and Divide responded to the fire. Firefighters stayed on scene throughout the night to check for hot spots, Porcelli said. As of Monday morning, the sheriff’s office was still investigating the cause. The home was owned by Stephen Castellani but occupied by renters.

Denver area joins list of locations for global jobs

Business developers said. weigh in on what it pple means to be 3 million ivide

d on By Amy Woodward r hot awoodward

@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Denver may be home to more than Cas- 600,000 people, but counties in and around the city—known as the Denver Metro area— are expected to grow collectively to 3 million people. In fact, it may have already happened, a milestone that firmly places the area on the international radar in the global competition for jobs. According to estimates from the State Demographer’s Office, the population may have hit the 3 million mark in mid-August, but demographers won’t know for sure until next July, said Elizabeth Garner, a state demographer. In July, the estimated population of the Denver area was 2.951 million people. “The growth that Colorado is experiencing right now is not that unusual,” said Garner, reporting an increase of 78,000 people last year compared to 120,000 people at one time during the 1990s. Typical or not, local political and business leaders are taking notice of the population growth and weighing in about that means for the area. “It’s a brave new world for us,” said Tom Clark, chief executive of the Metro Denver Economic Development Corp. and executive vice president of the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce. “At 2 million people, a metropolitan region becomes a perpetual job machine,” he said, citing a study conducted by a research economist in the early 1990s. At the 2 million mark, a city begins to grow its own jobs and becomes selfsustaining, Clark explained. Money stays within the community longer and exits later while wealth and income tend to go up. But at 3 million, a city or in this case - a metropolitan area -makes its debut on the world stage. “Three million begins to put you into a global competition for jobs,” Clark said. In the past, Colorado’s biggest competitors for job locations were Phoenix and Dallas. Today, Colorado’s direct competitors to the south are overshadowed by cities much farther away such as Dublin, Singapore and Toronto. Clark credits transportation build-out,

Eight homes have already been built in the area with square footage starting at 2,142 to 3,498. infrastructure and a highly diverse economy for putting the Denver area on the global market. He pinpointed specific areas of the state’s economy that are in line with the U.S. economy; green and fossil energy, health care and wellness, IT, telecomm, bio-tech, aerospace and financial services. Many of these industries driving the state’s economy are in Jeffco, with aerospace and bio-tech being some of the key influencers. Golden is perhaps the hub of cutting-edge businesses involved in biotech and clean energy solutions with dozens of companies representing these areas. (Quote from Dawn Smith, CEO of the Golden Chamber of Commerce about Golden businesses). The Jefferson County Economic Development Corp or Jeffco EDC, is the state’s oldest economic development organization and works closely with businesses and political leaders to build and sustain jobs in the county.

“When we’re seeing that population growth and we’re seeing that we’re becoming a major metropolitan area -and companies are recognizing that and wanting to set up shop here or they want to expand out here for existing business that we do have,” said Tom Livingston, economic development specialist with Jeffco EDC. “We want to make sure that we are able to accommodate that growth and there is a lot that goes with that as far as the residential aspect.” Balancing land use with continued growth will be a challenge in Jeffco where preserving open space is an important aspect and cultural identifier of the county, County Commissioner Casey Tighe said. “We just have to be smart about how we grow,” Tighe said. Urban centers which offer walkability and bike-friendly access in close proximity to mass transit seem to be the future for urban planning to attract millennials and

businesses to the area. “You’re starting to see that happening and we’re going to have to see about other locations,” he said, noting cities like Arvada and Lakewood that are building urban centers around train stations along the W Line light rail. The days of building homes with large backyards are fading away, Tighe said, so it is important to preserve the county’s aging stock to also reinvigorate neighborhoods. “We still want to give people these options to fit their lifestyles,” he said. In addition to challenges associated with land use, managing water resources and keeping the air clean will also be part of the balancing act for Jeffco businesses and political leaders. “We’re going to continue to grow whether we like it or not,” Clark said. “You need to be spending money to take good care of those assets that you don’t get back if you screw them up.”

With a little help, it’s a lot like home The door opens and a slight woman with a quick smile, round glasses, comfy gray sweats and short, snowy hair pushes her walker into the hall. Four months ago, Mary Clancy, 89, was living in her Lakewood apartment. But she just couldn’t do it anymore — the cooking, the cleaning, the driving. So she gave her car to a delighted nephew and moved into one of the 111 rooms at the Libby Bortz Assisted Living Center in Littleton. “It’s great here,” she says, unhesitatingly, as she makes her way down the floral-carpeted hall to find the Scrabble game. “If you can’t be at home, this is the next best thing.” The words gladden Dawn Shepherd, who stands nearby, eyes sparkling. But then, she knows the secret to this place. The brick-and-stucco structure was built on a foundation of innovative stubbornness and passionate concern for the well-being of the older community who needed, not only a place to call home, but also one they could afford. “It’s a love thing,” Shepherd says. “There’s tons of love in this building.” The center, just off Main Street in downtown Littleton, opened its doors 20 years ago last month as the country’s first affordable assisted living facility when Shepherd, now 68, was director of the Littleton Housing Authority. Back then, few assisted living centers existed — the concept was just becoming part of the senior landscape discussion. But what made this building particularly unique was its owner — a housing authority, an agency dedicated to providing housing for low-income families and individuals, one not usually in the business of assisted living. That meant the Libby Bortz center, which would help its residents with the daily care they needed, had to be affordable. To do that, the housing authority worked with a group of creative thinkers with experience in senior housing called The Raleigh Group and Kaiser Aerospace and Electronics, a now-defunct corporation and the tax credit partner that helped finance the project. “The team just got so close,” Shepherd

says. “It was really an amazing moment in time — everyone worked so hard toward an end goal.” The use of federal tax credits allowed the housing authority to save $200 a month per unit for the life of the building, Shepherd says. It also made the center one of the first — if not the first — in the country to be financed by tax credits. Today, a one-room apartment at Libby Bortz costs $1,784 a month, well below the national average for assisted living. That includes three meals a day, weekly housekeeping and laundry and medication supervision. The Genworth 2014 Cost of Care Survey, which has surveyed senior care services throughout the country for 11 years, found the national median monthly rate for assisted living was $3,500, an increase of 4.29 percent from 2009. Unforgivably, housing for seniors in this country — at a time in their lives when they should feel safe and comfortable — has instead become “a crushing burden.” The statement comes from SeniorLiving.org, a website dedicated to senior living and retirement, which reports that “finding affordable senior housing may be one of the biggest challenges facing seniors and their loved ones.” And the U.S. Small Business Development Center predicts a significant unmet demand for assisted living facilities by 2020 as the population between 65 and 84 grows by nearly 39 percent. So, where will we live? Most importantly, where can we afford to live with dignity? Shepherd pondered those questions long ago from her office in a subsidized senior apartment building in Littleton where she watched her seniors, as they aged, require more help with daily living

balconies with white wicker furniture face glorious mountain views. In one hallway is the Salute to Veterans Wall, where portraits of loved ones who served the country continuously flow across a television mounted on the blue wall. Jeanne Whalen, 72, sits on her walker across from the screen, watching for the photos of her two brothers, who served in the Korean War. “Not this one,” she says, eyes on the scrolling pictures. “Not this next one. “The next one is my two brothers. They were in the Korean War.” The photos, taken in the 1950s, identify Dan Whalen, Navy, and Paul Whalen, Air Force. A year apart, they were 10 years older than Jeanne. “I come here every day,” she says, because “I love them and I miss them.” Jeanne, who has emphysema, moved from New York a year ago to be near her daughter. The move has been good. “You get the help you need, and I’ve made lots of friends,” she says. “Praise the Lord for this place.” Downstairs, the only resident who has lived here since the first year arrives from an outing. Virginia Chynoweth, 92, carefully wheels her walker to a chair. She peers through her glasses. “I like everything about it,” she says about her home. She’s able to go wherever she pleases. And, “I feel safe.” In the end, that’s what a home should be — not a crushing burden, just simply safe. Especially when we’re old. For Dawn Shepherd, that means the world. If the time should come, she already knows which room she’d choose. It’d be easy, after all, to live in a place built with love.

activities. “Their only choice was a nursing home,” she says, “and they didn’t need a nursing home.” Shepherd — who retired from the Littleton Housing Authority (now called South Metro Housing Options) in 2001, but soon took a job heading the housing authority in neighboring Englewood until retiring definitively a year ago — decided to provide a choice. After eight years of planning and work, doors to the center, named after longtime Littleton social worker and housing authority board member Libby Bortz, opened in 1994. Shepherd interviewed all the prospective residents personally. The move, she says, almost immediately “enhanced their lives and prolonged their lives.” The apartment space was small. But it was their space. “There were enough things that they were giving up in the aging process without having to have a stranger as a roommate,” Shepherd says. “That’s not the way we wanted our grandmother or our own parents to live.” With no kitchens in apartments and a community dining room, the model encouraged socialization. Not isolation. Small changes, such as staff dispensing correct medication and providing laundry service, sparked dramatic changes. Less confusion, more pride in appearance, more confidence. And, there was the warmth that wrapped residents close, because, of course, this was a labor of love. •• • On a recent chilly afternoon, a few days after a 20th anniversary reunion and celebration, piano notes drift into the lobby from the finely appointed dining room.

Catamount Center makes national waves By Pat Hill

phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com An environmental school with a national footprint, the Catamount Center in Woodland Park vitalizes the vision of Howard Drossman and Julie Francis. Dedicated to promoting environmental stewardship through education, the couple bought land on the north slope of Pikes Peak in 1997 as a first step. Over the next several years, the land, 177 acres, would become an experimental laboratory for forest ecology and biodiversity, research initially led by Peter Marchand, Ph.D. But a key partnership with Colorado College, where Drossman is a professor in the education department, fostered an educational evolution at the center “And then we had this big idea - finally! - of what would be the best and highest use for the Catamount Center property,” Francis said. “Howard became interested in pedagogy, how people learn.” A pilot program this fall that relies on a partnership with Columbine Elementary School springs from Drossman’s curiosity. The pilot launches the center’s fellowship program where young college graduates teach natural science to fifth-graders, at the center as well as in the classroom. “Veronica Wolken (Columbine’s principal) is the brain child who has created the space and structure at Columbine for this to happen,” Francis said. “The education piece is probably some of the most innovative science education out there.” Budding scientists, the fifth-grade students are invited to devise their own experiments, some of them based on the research initiated by Marchand years ago. (Marchand is back at the center.) “For example, we have a study on the effects of elk on aspen while looking at aspen regeneration,” Francis said. “Now we have junior scientists out in the forest

doing inquiry.” The fellows, four this year, are teaching aquatic ecosystems and terrestrial ecology. “It’s about having one sample class of fifth-graders that we can work with to do both education and research,” Fancis said. “This is a leading-edge assessment that might change the way kids are tested. Instead of just taking a test, these studies can be a way that gets them to really think and problem-solve.” The fellows live on the property, in a LEED-certified (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) building. As the program evolves, Francis and Drossman envision including college students. “We’ll always have four to six fellows that will be the grad students,” Francis said. “The fellows are paid and also receive room and board at the center. They’re assistant professors who will be teachers and mentors to the undergrads.” As education and persistent innovators, Francis and Drossman have expanded their reach to effect change through the study of nature in a forest setting. “The partnership with Columbine is really cool,” Francis said. “I can’t think of a program in this entire country where college students get to live in a spectacularly beautiful place like the Catamount Center in a sustainable-living community where the building is heated with wood and they’re planning menus that are local.” The program is a holistic model of education that aligns with Colorado Academic Standards, perhaps one that could be called Teach above the Clouds, Francis said. “I think it’s important that people know the fellows and curriculum incorporate science,” she said. “If we do all these things right, then they lead toward stewardship and sustainability of the planet.”

Continuing work results in short-term speed reductions Staff report While driving speeds north of Briargate Parkway have returned to 75 mph, work zone signs will remain in place while crews put the finishing touches on the Interstate 25 expansion project. Drivers will encounter periodic, short-distance daytime and nighttime lane closures through much of November, which will require temporary speed reductions for driver and worker safety. Crews will continue to work on cleanup and on “punch list” items between early November and Thanksgiving.

Speed limits south of Briargate Parkway remain at 65 mph, which was the posted speed limit before construction began in early 2013.

levard. Work on the new overlook site is scheduled 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., MondayFriday.

Ackerman Overlook work continues and is progressing as scheduled

LaForet Trail upgrades

Work continues on the new Ackerman Overlook, which is being re-located to the north of the former overlook site. Construction is expected to continue into the winter and drivers will encounter large trucks and equipment entering and exiting the work zone as fill material is delivered from near North Gate Bou-

A portion of the LaForet Trail under I-25 has reopened with the completion of the new trail in the tunnel. The trail will close again for up to eight weeks so crews can complete reconstruction work under the bridge. Currently, there is no official start date for the remaining work. The trail is widely used by employees

and residents east of I-25 to access the Santa Fe Trail, which is west of the interstate. All work is subject to weather and road conditions. This is the last weekly I-25 expansion project construction update readers will receive. Future updates will be distributed only if there will be significant traffic impacts. Safety continues to be a priority for crews on the project. Drivers are urged to obey posted speed limits and to drive distraction free.

Review of El Paso County Sheriff’s Office completed Investigation confirms inappropriate relationships linked to preferential treatment Staff report An independent investigation into employment-related complaints from employees of the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office has been completed, and investigators say inappropriate relationships were linked to preferential treatment. An overview of the employment complaints investigation was presented to El Paso county Commissioners and made public last week. Investigators confirm: • That Sheriff Maketa engaged in inappropriate relationships with three female subordinates resulting in preferential treatment that allowed those individuals to disregard El Paso County Sheriff’s Office Policies and Procedures, abuse leave policies, ignore use of county property policies, chain of command procedures and the internal affairs process. • That Maketa and Undersheriff Paula Presley inappropriately attempted to influence internal affairs investigations and failed follow EPSO policies for initiating and conducting internal affairs investigations. • That Maketa and Presley, without good cause, opened an internal affairs investigation and a criminal investigation into an alleged missing internal affairs file on a former EPSO employee. • That Presley refused to cooperate with investigators and declined to be interviewed. To date, the county has received notices of intent to file suit from nine cur-

rent or former Sheriff’s Office employees. As of this date, none of these notices of intent to file have resulted in lawsuits actually being filed with the courts. In addition to and separate from the notices of intent, there have been three Equal Employment Opportunity Commission complaints filed and those are under investigation within that agency. Any questions about those complaints must be directed to the EEOC. As a result of information received during the course of the employment investigation and the first phase of the RuSheriff Maketa binBrown financial review the board of county commissioners has directed the county attorney’s office to coordinate with the incoming Sheriff on improvements and changes including: • A prior review of all adverse employment actions by the county attorney’s office before they take place • Providing employees with the ability to petition the county attorney for review prior to adverse employment actions. It has also affirmed requirements that all county related bank accounts be established through the county treasurer’s office and subject to all El Paso County audit and review procedures. One EPSO account has already been moved by official BoCC Resolution and another is undergoing audit review. The board of county commissioners applauds the public statements issued by the incoming sheriff in which he has pledged to move forward with adherence to nationally accepted best practices and work together with county attorneys and county administration to

assure that sheriff’s office employees are treated fairly. While the board directs its attorneys to protect taxpayers by defending vigorously against all frivolous lawsuits, the focus now is on moving forward to overcome hard feelings and heal old wounds so the hard working and dedicated employees of the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office can do the best job possible to ensure public safety. The office of the sheriff is an independent statutory office under Colorado law and the board of county commissioners has no ability to remove a sitting elected official. However, the board of county commissioners does have statutory responsibility for the oversight of all county finances as well as all county owned property, facilities and equipment. The board of El Paso County commissioners engaged the law firm of Sherman and Howard to initiate the investigation on May 13, after receiving a letter on May 12 that cited various employment related complaints from three commanders within the sheriff’s office. This was the first official employee complaint the BoCC received concerning the EPSO and Sheriff Terry Maketa. The law firm of Sherman and Howard, which has extensive expertise in employment, law was retained to protect the rights of employees involved, review and investigate the allegations and prepare for any possible future litigation against El Paso County. On May 29, the board of county commissioners, acting unanimously, cited concerns that distractions and disruptions within the sheriff’s office compromised the functionality of the office and asked Sheriff Terry Maketa to resign immediately. At the direction of the board of county commissioners, the county put in place procedures aimed at preventing retalia-

tion against employees who complained and securing data and records which could be useful to investigators. Those procedures included county attorney review of all payroll change requests coming from the sheriff’s office and securing computer hard drives which may have contained relevant communications. Additionally, the County Attorney’s Office took steps to monitor of the use of Internal Affairs (IA) investigations and providing direction related IA investigations. A complete report on the employment complaints investigation cannot be made public at this time because of pending litigation and at the request of the Colorado Bureau of Investigation which is conducting a criminal investigation on behalf of the district attorney’s office. During the course of the investigation into the employment related complaints, interviewers from the Mountain States Employers Council conducted sixty six interviews and reviewed hundreds of pages of documents. Former Colorado Springs Police Chief Lorne Kramer was also engaged as an expert with extensive experience in law enforcement investigations and command for the specific purposes of reviewing certain EPSO personnel practices, Internal Affairs procedures and outcomes. Most employees and former employees of the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office who were contacted by MSEC cooperated with interviewers but some declined their requests and refused to cooperate. Law enforcement agencies and District Attorneys by law have additional investigatory tools including subpoena power, the ability to apply for and execute warrants and district attorneys have the authority to convene a grand jury and compel witnesses to testify.

Now, was that Smith, or Jones? By Rob Carrigan

rcarrigan@colorado communitymedia.com Cowboy, Received from: Fremont County, Sentenced: July 15, 1894, Remarks: Has no wife or parents, features regular, small deep-set eyes, good conduct, Two cut scars on back of head, has a small red scar under left eye, red mark on left side of back, small brown mole on calf of left leg, a wellbuilt young man. Basically, on processing card, the convict lied. Cassidy claims to have been born in New York and his parents are deceased. Cassidy was in fact, born to Anne and Max Parker in Utah and was the eldest of 13 children: and called Robert Leroy Parker. Brother Dan Parker, inmate No. 164, was held at the Territorial Prison in 1890 for robbing the United States Postal Service. Nothing really new here, but I had encountered it before. Sutton’s Law is related to legendary 1930s outlaw Willie Sutton’s often quoted (and probably falsely attributed) response to a reporter who asked why he robbed banks. “Because that’s where the money is.” I have wondered out loud before why that law didn’t seem to apply for the “Wild Bunch” and the Cripple Creek District. As a kid growing up in southwestern Colorado, nearly every wide spot in the road down there claimed some connection to the heralded outlaws. With the gang holding up the San Miguel Valley Bank in Telluride, supposedly robbing the train at Stoner, holing up at Dunton Hot Springs, and several associated robberies in the Grand Junction, Delta and Vernal, Utah, areas, in addition to Harry “Sundance” Longabaugh’s stint working on his uncle’s ranch near Cortez as just some of the historically possible links - the stories were difficult to dispute. Then there is the haunting photograph of the five dapperly dressed fellows at the turn of the century, three seated, two standing behind. From left to right: Harry A. Longabaugh, a.k.a. “The Sundance Kid,” William Carver, Ben Kilpatrick, a.k.a. “The Tall Texan,” Harvey Logan, a.k.a. “Kid Curry” and Robert Leroy Parker, a.k.a. “Butch Cassidy.” The photo was taken Nov. 21, 1900, at John Swartz’s studio in Fort Worth, Texas, near the Hell’s Half Acre section of town the gang was known to frequent, and probably has appeared on more “wanted” posters than any photo in the last century. But the outfit is given credit for robbing trains, mines, banks and other businesses all over the West - Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico, Utah, Montana, South Dakota, Arizona, Texas, Nevada and Oregon. And their height of operation corresponds perfectly with the Cripple Creek District’s heyday. Why didn’t the “Wild Bunch” knock over any easy targets in the wild district? It was where the money was. Once I speculated that maybe the answer was Love. According to the information submitted to the Colorado Archives by the Pikes Peak Genealogical Society and posted by USGenWeb, “Love was the last community to officially debut in the Cripple Creek District, acquiring a post office in 1894.” Research by Jan MacKell indicated that village located at the far east end of the district was made up of ranchers, a few miners, sawmill workers and maybe dairy workers. But, notes the archive project, “Love was remote enough, however, that members of outlaw Butch Cassidy’s notorious Wild Bunch also felt secure in procuring a hideout there shortly after the community was founded.” Not only is that possible, I would guess, with the amount of money flowing around these parts at that time, it would be silly for an outlaw not to locate nearby. Jan MacKell, who served for years as the director of the Cripple Creek

iah “Kid” Curry, and Ben Murphy as Jeded l Heyes in “Alias Pete Duel as Hanniba y photos urtes Smith and Jones.” Co

“Alias Smith and Jones” was a western TV series that originally aired on ABC from January 1971 to January 1973, starring Pete Duel as Hannibal Heyes and Ben Murphy as Jedediah “Kid” Curry, outlaw cousins who were trying to reform. Duel’s character was supposedly the brains of the operation, and Murphy’s part provided a fast draw and muscle. The show was inspired, at least in part, by success of the 1969 blockbuster film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, starring Paul Newman and Robert Redford. The names “Smith” and “Jones” actually originated from a comment in the 1969 movie, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, when, prior to one of their final hold-ups, the characters are outside a bank in Bolivia and Sundance turns to Butch and says: “I’m Smith and you’re Jones.” The real “Kid Curry,” Harvey Logan, was actually a member of the real ‘Wild Bunch’ comprised the real Butch Cassidy, Sundance Kid, and other notable outlaws of the early 1900s. Logan, contrary to his TV counterpart, was a cold-blooded killer, reportedly killing as many as nine law enforcement officers, and several others. Unfortunately, actor Pete Duel died of a self-inflicted gun shot on New Years Eve in 1971. The series replaced him with another actor, and continued for another 17 episodes, but it never recovered. Fans, I guess, didn’t buy the identity switch. I’ve have been thinking about identity, and alias, and outlaws, as it relates to the old West and such, and the real Kid Curry, Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid, and how hard it was to keep track of people before the internet and search engines. A few weeks ago, when I visited the Wyoming Territorial Prison, of which Butch Cassidy was a short term guest, I noticed that amazingly enough, criminals such as Cassidy were not always completely honest in what they told prison officials.

District Museum, set me straight. “You referenced something I had written about it. Well alas, further research revealed that the Bob Lee I found in Love was not the Bob Lee of the Wild Bunch. (Bob was a cousin to Harvey Logan and was implicated in the 1899 robbery at Wilcox, Wyoming - the one where they blew the train car to smithereens). Still, the Wild Bunch did hang around in these parts, particularly after the robbery, and Bob Lee was arrested at the Antlers Saloon (formerly Uncle Sam’s Casino) in March of 1900. Just thought you would want to know.” Of course I would, and I asked about where her information originated. “Some of it came from Pinkerton files and other came from books about the wild bunch, I had many sources when I researched this. The Pinkerton files are tricky — some have been lost, some are open to the public and some are closed files. I got some information from Wyoming since that is where the Wilcox robbery was. J. Maurice Finn was Bob Lee’s lawyer and a newspaper account I read had him huffing and puffing all over the courtroom. Funny to picture.” Indeed it is. And while I was in the speculation mode, I have always wondered about whether Etta Place (Harry Longabaugh, a.k.a. Sundance kid’s love interest) might really be Ann or Josie Bassett as some historians have postulated. The Bassetts, of the Brown’s Hole area in Northern Colorado and Utah and famous for their interaction with Tom Horn, had numerous connections to the gang, but for whatever reason, have never been definitively linked and most discount the possibility. The first photo above is Ann Bassett and the second is image of Longabaugh and Place taken in New York. Incidentally, MacKell is the author of several books about rough and tumble times in the mining districts including “Brothels, Bordellos and Bad Girls,” and has a new title scheduled to appear in March called “Red Light Women of the Rocky Mountains,” but I guess that is all together a different kind of “love.” Additional speculation about who Etta Place was, is also intriguing.Others sources suggest that Etta Place may have in fact been Laura Bullion, who was a member of the gang. For several years in the 1890s, she was romantically involved with outlaw Ben Kilpatrick (“The Tall Texan”), a bank and train robber and an acquaintance of her father. In 1901, Bullion was convicted of robbery and sentenced to five years in prison for her participation in the Great Northern train robbery. She was released in 1905 after serving three years and six months of her punishment. Most experts agree that Butch and Sundance probably met Etta at a bordello around 1900, probably run by Fannie Porter, according to Tony Hays. “Near unanimous consensus among researchers is that Butch and Sundance met Etta at Fannie Porter’s brothel in San Antonio sometime in 1900,” he said. “The Pinkerton Agency, which had a strong interest in Etta, described her as attractive, speaking with an educated tone. Estimates of her birth year range from 1878 to 1882 or 1883. Rumors suggest that she was a cousin of Longabaugh’s since Longabaugh’s mother was a Place. Speculation is that she and Sundance had met sometime around 1900,” Hays says. “The last recorded appearance by Etta was in summer of 1909 in San Francisco, the

year after Butch and Sundance were reportedly killed in a gun battle with Argentinian soldiers. Indeed, there are those researchers who say that Etta died in South America as well. But a woman of Etta’s description attempted to secure documents declaring Sundance dead. She was unsuccessful, and the woman known as Etta Place rode off into the sunset.” Hays searched the census information and found Fannie Porter, running a “boarding house.” “Fannie, herself little more than a girl in 1900, claimed to be of British extraction. The birthdates did not help all that much. Of the five girls in Fannie’s “boarding house,” all were born in or around 1878-80. One girl in the household intrigued me beyond the others. Twenty-two year old Madaline Wilson appears in the census immediately beneath Madam Fannie. Like Fannie, she is listed as of English birth, immigrating to the United States in 1884 when she was six. Now here’s where the conjecture has to come in. It is quite possible that she had changed her name, but does that dictate that she would have changed her date of birth, country of origin, and date of immigration?” Hays asked. And a British accent, tempered by 16 years in America, might be described as “refined,” he speculated. And, Madaline Wilson disappears after the 1900 census, when Etta was in her period of historical significance as the historians would say. Of course, there was a bunch of secondguessing on whether Butch and Sundance had actually been killed in Bolivia. Misidentification had happened before, as early as 1898, when the Salt Lake Herald on May 17, 1898, reported “Butch Cassidy is still alive,” after first reporting he had been killed in Price, Utah. “Sheriff J. H. Ward of Evanston, Wyoming, who was probably the best posted man in the inter mountain states upon criminal matters, reached Price the morning of May 16, 1898, in response to a telegram calling him there to identify the men in jail, and the corpse supposed to be that of Cassidy. Sheriff Ward for 13 years past had been a sheriff in Wyoming, and during that time had Cassidy in his jail for three months and was with him daily,” reported the paper. “On inspecting the body, Sheriff Ward positively asserted that it was not Cassidy, and that while the complain and build of the men were very similar, the body in no other particular resembled Cassidy, and bore none of the battle scars of the famous robber. Sheriff Ward was of the opinion that the body was that of Bob Culp, Alias Red Bob, a notorious cattle thief, from Wyoming. Cassidy was in jail awaiting trial for horse tearing, and a close description was made by Sheriff Ward of all his peculiar marks, and he was absolutely positive that this was not the man,” the paper said. But Parker, Longabaugh, Logan and the others, for whom history has had a devil of a time keeping track of anyway, likely were among the neighbors next door. But we may never know because Butch might have been going by George Cassidy, Tom Gillis, James Ryan, Santiago Ryan, Santiago Maxwell, J.P. Maxwell, James Lowe, Santiago Lowe, George Ingerfield. And Sundance maybe he took up the name Harry Alonzo, Harry Place, Enrique Brown, H.A. Brown, Frank Smith, J.E. Ebaugh, J.E. Thibadoe, Frank Jones, Frank Bozeman, Harry Brown or Frank Boyd. Kid Curry also had a reputation of loving and leaving. Reports said he would often return from a train or bank robbery, get drunk and lay up with prostitutes until his share of the take was gone. Numerous prostitutes would name him as the father of various

“love childs” that sometimes were referred to as “Curry Kids.” Some sources credit Kid Curry with as many as eighty-five children, though the real number was probably closer to five or six. To complicate things on the Kid Curry front, in addition to the Wild Bunch, the Kid, Harvey Logan, also rode with Sam Ketchum, who was the brother of Tom “Black Jack” Ketchum and Ezra Lay. Also muddying the water, was the fact that Curry (Logan) liked to hide out in San Antonio, Texas. While there he met prostitute Della Moore (also known as Annie Rogers or Maude Williams), with whom he became romantically involved. At the time of their meeting, she was working in Madame Fannie Porter’s brothel, which of course, was a regular hideout for the Wild Bunch gang. In October 1901, Della Moore was arrested in Tennessee for passing money tied to an earlier robbery involving Curry. The gunman is credited shortly afterwards with killing two policemen in Knoxville in a shootout and escape on Dec. 13, 1901. On June 7, 1904, Kid Curry was tracked down by a posse outside of what is now Parachute, Colorado. Curry and two others had robbed

a train and they stole fresh horses owned by Roll Gardner and a neighbor. Gardner and the neighbor set out after them and joined up with a posse and continued tracking, caught up the outlaws, who then shot Gardner’s and his neighbor’s horses from under them. Gardner found cover while his neighbor started running. Kid Curry took aim at the neighbor and Gardner shot Curry. The wounded Curry then fatally shot himself in the head to avoid capture. The other two robbers escaped. But even in death, nothing is for sure. Rumors persist that Curry was not killed in the fire fight, and was misidentified, having actually departed for South America with Butch Cassidy and Sundance. Noted Pinkerton agent Charlie Siringo, who had pursued Logan for years, resigned Pinkerton’s shortly thereafter, believing they got the wrong man. Robert Parker’s sister (and others in the family as well) swears her brother visited the family in 1925 for a family reunion. Some say he lived in Pacific Northwest for years, after going straight. Actor Ben Murphy, went on to play many different characters since his stint as “Kid Curry” in the TV show “Alias Smith and Jones.”

‘Wishes Through Our Hands’ exhibit display quilts

By Clarke Reader

creader@colorado communitymedia.com There are many responses to tragedy and many different ways to reach out to those who have suffered enormous loss. When a 9.0 magnitude earthquake and tsunami with 133-foot waves struck Japan in 2011, quilters from all over the country responded by making quilts for those in need of comfort and as a way to comfort themselves as they processed the disaster. Miwako Kimura, Sachiko Yoshida, and Noriko Koyama, three noted Japanese quilt artists and teachers, joined with their students to support survivors in their quilt-making efforts. The Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum, 1213 Washington Ave. in Golden, plays host to 29 of those quilts in their “Wishes Through Our Hands” exhibit. The quilts will be on display through Jan. 24 and the gallery is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday. Kimura, the curator, is pleased and gratified to exhibit these quilts in America. “We have learned countless patterns and techniques for quiltmaking from your country, and we are thrilled to continue the `heartfelt gift in every stitch’ tradition,” she said. “We sincerely hope you can read our wishes and thoughts, stitched and sewn in these quilts.” The connection between U.S. and Japanese quilters began in the 1970s when American quilters toured the island, said Irene Berry, marketing and exhibits manager at the museum. “Japan has a tradition of needlework and recycling fabrics…” Berry said. “Women in Japan wanted to learn how to do American quilting and so a very specific way to teach them was established.” In addition to learning about pattern drafting and designs of American quilting, the women were also taught about the history of the American craft. As a result, even though the subjects and aesthetic are Japanese, the quilts still resemble

American examples. “There are two main fabrics used in Japanese quilts - indigo and silk,” Berry explained. “The indigo fabrics are used by those lower on the social scale and silk was employed by those higher up.” The 29 quilts on display vary from traditional to contemporary, but all reflect the devotion of teacher and student to their craft. In Japan, Berry said, once students decide on a teacher they commit for their entire instruction period.

“One Hundred Virtues” by Katsuko Yuuki. A silk, hand-pieced and hand-appliqued piece. The exhibit first came to the attention of the Rocky Mountain Quilting Museum thanks to a participant in the museum’s annual men’s showcase. The man knew about a Japanese quilt exhibit in La Conner, Washington, and was able to arrange for it to travel to Golden. “This is a rare opportunity to see quilts directly from Japan,” Berry said. “This is the only place outside of La Conner they can be seen and the quilts will be going back to Japan after our exhibit.” The rarity and quality of the quilts make the show a must-visit for those interested in culture and craft. “Visitors get to see a quality interpreta-

tion of American quilts through Japanese artists,” Berry said. “Their design sense is just spectacular and a lot of time goes into making these quilts exquisite.” For more information call 303-2770377 or visit www.rmqm.org. Curator Miwako Kimura says she is pleased and gratified to exhibit this group of quilts in America. She adds, “We have learned countless patterns and techniques for quiltmaking from your country, and we are thrilled to continue the ‘heartfelt gift in every stitch’ tradition. We sincerely hope you can read our wishes and thoughts, stitched and sewn in these quilts.”

Panthers lose heartbreaker to Mitchell, 42-40, in overtime Woodland Park’s football season ends in frustrating way By Danny Summers

dsummers@coloradocommunitymedia. com It’s not very often that Woodland Park football coach Joe Roskam is at a loss for words, but that was case minutes after his team’s 42-40 overtime loss to Mitchell Oct. 31 at Garry Berry Stadium. “I don’t even know what to tell you what happened,” Roskam said. “(Mitchell) had no chance) to win) and they did. We beat them 101 times out of 100. “We just gave up big play after big play after big play. I can’t believe it.” No matter which team you were rooting for, the final six minutes of the fourth quarter and overtime period were both thrilling and shocking. Woodland Park, leading 28-26, forced Mitchell to punt with a little over six minutes remaining in regulation. The Panthers then marched 61 yards in six plays, capped by Dominic Roskam’s 1-yard touchdown run, to put his team up by eight points with 1:45 remaining. Roskam scored two other touchdowns in the game on runs of 1 and 5 yards and finished with a career-high 139 yard on 24 carries. Woodland Park (2-8, 1-4 in the Class 3A Southern League) went for the two-point conversion after Roskam’s third touchdown, but Matt Cox’s pass attempt failed, meaning that Mitchell had a chance to tie the game with a touchdown and a successful two-point conversion of its own. That’s exactly what the Marauders (2-8, 1-4) did when quarterback TJ Conklin hit Keven Rovnan in the end zone on a 17-yard scoring pass and two-point conversion pass to Christopher Lane with 50 seconds remaining.

The Marauders were given two chances for the two-point conversion. Woodland Park was flagged for pass interference on Conklin’s first pass attempt. It looked like Woodland Park might win the game in regulation after Zak Hess returned the Mitchell kickoff 30 yards to the Panthers’ 45. Cox completed two passes to Sam Garner and another to Hess and the Panthers found themselves at the Mitchell 28 with 25 seconds remaining. But the drive stalled there, setting up overtime, where each possession began at the 10-yard line. “It was a good drive, but we didn’t get it done,” Cox said. “We didn’t win and that’s all that matters.” Woodland Park won the overtime coin toss, but deferred to Mitchell. Conklin scored on a 1-yard sneak on second down and then hit Rovnan with the two-point conversion to give his team a 42-34 lead. Woodland Park needed all four of its downs to score a touchdown in the extra period. The short drive was capped by a Cox 1-yard pass to Joey Ereon. But Cox was unable to complete the two-point pass play to Hess, sending the Mitchell fans into frenzy. “It was my bad,” Cox said. “Coach made the right call; I just didn’t put it in the right place.” Woodland Park ended the season with just three seniors healthy enough to play - Dylan Schaller, Joel Woolley and Hunter Wilson. Its other two seniors — Josh Woods and kicker/punter Dakota Herman — were out with injuries. Herman broke his right fibula against Lewis-Palmer and had surgery on it Oct. 27, where doctors inserted a plate and nine screws to hold the bone in place. “We were young this season,” said Schaller, who had a 7-yard touchdown run and 4-yard touchdown pass in the game. “That’s not an excuse, but when we started losing it seemed like we gave up, and it’s

for a better season next year,” Wilson said. “They deserve better. “I hope they can look back on their year and say it was what they wanted it to be.” Cox, who has started 25 games in twoplus seasons, said he and the returning players will use the season to work harder in the offseason. “We have to work on unity and being a family,” Cox said. “Holding each other accountable is the biggest thing. We have to do what we do and work hard at it. “I think this loss gives us more momentum until next year. I am really angry about this. I will be angry all the way until the first game next year.”

Struble inducted into CSU-Pueblo baseball H of F By Cord Prettyman For the Courier

On Oct. 17, local baseball phenom and Divide native Jeremiah Struble was inducted into the Colorado State University – Pueblo “Baseball Diamond of Fame,” which is the college’s equivalent of a Hall of Fame. Struble graduated from CSU-Pueblo in June of this year, where he majored in Exercise Science with a minor in Business. Locals may remember him from his outstanding baseball career at Manitou High School, where he was a four-time first-team all-conference selection and an all-state selection his senior year. He posted an incredible 15-2 won-loss record dur-

ing his high school pitching career. Struble continued his stellar baseball career at Pueblo as a walk-on his freshman year. He broke into the team’s starting pitching rotation his sophomore year and quickly became a pitcher to be reckoned with in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference. He lead the RMAC in complete games in both his junior and senior years and was named second team all-conference twice and 1st team all-conference his senior year. With a dominating fastball and a nasty curveball, he was RMAC “Pitcherof-the-Week 10 times and was the RMAC Tournament MVP in 2013. No stranger in the gym, Struble started

his personal strength training and sportsconditioning routine in high school and continued through college. His love of exercise and sports has led him to a career as a fitness trainer and a sports-conditioning specialist. After graduation, he returned to Teller County and spent this past summer as the personal trainer at Neil Levy’s High Altitude Baseball gym, where he trained young athletes aged 12 to 18 in a variety of sports specific programs including baseball, hockey, soccer and cross-country. In September, he was offered and accepted a personal trainer position with Redline Athletics (redlineathletics.com) in Colorado Springs. Redline Athletics is a

The sooner you stop procrastinating and start deciding where, when and how you’re going, the better. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Someone you’ve known for years might disappoint you, or even make you feel you’ve been betrayed. But check the facts carefully before you make charges that could backfire on you. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) A holiday plan might need to be revised to accommodate an unexpected complication. Come up with an alternative arrangement as soon as possible to avoid more problems down the line. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Don’t accept halfway explanations for a situation that requires full disclosure. The more you know now, the better able you will be to handle any complications that might arise. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) The cooperation you relied upon might not be easy to get. Maybe there’s an information gap. See if everyone understands the situation. If not, be sure to offer a full explanation. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Problems caused by that recent workplace distraction should soon be easing, allowing you to resume working at a less frantic pace. That personal matter also begins to ease up. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Changing your mind about a job decision isn’t easy for the usually committed Aquarian. But once you check it out, you’ll find facts you didn’t know before. And facts don’t lie. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Your unique way of sizing up a situation gives you an edge in resolving that upsetting workplace problem. Stay on your current course regardless of any attempts to distract you. BORN THIS WEEK: You are emotionally attuned to what’s going on around you, and you easily pick up on people’s needs. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

2) Review, Analysis and Risks. a. Within thirty (30) days following receipt of a completed application and site inspection, if necessary as determined by the City Administrator, as weather conditions permit, the City Administrator shall review the same and prepare an analysis of any factor that may be present or create a foreseeable risk of pollution to the water supply of Victor along with an analysis of the measures, including best management practices, if any, that are proposed by the applicant to obviate such risks and submit such analysis to the City Council. b. In undertaking the analysis of any proposed activity, the following factors, among any others that may be deemed relevant, shall be considered: 1. Nature and extent of the proposed activity. 2. Proximity and existing water courses. 3. Drainage patterns and control measures. 4. Soil Criteria. 5. Slope steepness and stability. 6. Effects of denudation. 7. Geological hazards, including, but not limited to, avalanche paths, flood plains, high water tables, fault zones and similar factors. 8. Point source effluent and emissions into air or water. 9. Ambient and non-point source emissions into air or water. 10. Vehicular and motorized activity. 11. Fire hazard. c. The City Administrator may classify in writing an application as minor impact based upon the analysis set forth above if the proposed activity clearly does not present or create a foreseeable risk of pollution to the water supply of Victor. Within thirty (30) days after any such minor impact classification, the City Council shall conduct the hearing required hereunder and render a decision regarding the issuance of denial of a Watershed District Permit to such applicant. The failure of the City Council to render such decision within the time limits herein set forth shall be deemed and considered affirmative action on the issuance of the requested permit for any application as minor impact. d. The City Administrator may classify a proposed activity as “no impact” in the following fashion. A potential applicant for a Watershed District Permit may apply for a “no impact” finding relative to the proposed activity. Such application shall be accompanied by such information, in writing, as the City Administrator needs to determine whether a “no impact” finding is warranted. Such information may be less than is required under Section 5(1), above, and required permit fees may be waived. Upon such application, the City Administrator shall determine whether the proposed activity is of a type or location that no negative impact on Victor’s water sources is reasonably foreseeable. If such a “no impact” finding is made, the City Administrator shall immediately issue a Watershed District Permit for the proposed activity. After issuance of said permit, the City Administrator shall report same to the City Council at its next regular or special meeting, and shall also keep a record of
