Presentations rule at WP Council meeting Gold mine, city present annual reports, chamber names scholarship recipients

By Norma Engelberg Contributing writer

Jane Mannon, community affairs manager for the Cripple Creek-Victor Gold Mining Co., kicked off the March 6 Woodland Park City Council meeting with her annual report from the mine. Woodland Park was the last of several similar presentations she has made to various governmental entities including the Teller County Board of County Commissioners and city and town councils in Teller and Fremont counties.

The mine employs more that 500 area residents, including 90 with Woodland Park Zip Codes and pays millions of dollars in property taxes to state and county

governments. A technology glitch kept the audience from seeing the part of her presentation that covered the newly restored Colorado Capitol Dome but she had a lot of other photos that illustrated some of the mine’s work in 2013.

At the Feb. 20 Woodland Park City Council meeting, Debbie Miller, president of the Woodland Park Chamber of Commerce, presented the winners of chamber awards that will be handed out at the March 29 annual dinner. At the March 6 council meeting she was joined by Terry Harrison, founder of the Wagon Boss scholarship, to name this year’s scholarship recipients: Bryan Cosgriff from Woodland Park High School and Sarah Wywias from Cripple Creek-Victor High School.

Volunteer, government agencies come together Volunteer Organizations Active in Disasters works to become one-stop shop

By Norma Engelberg Contributing writer

During and after an emergency, volunteer and nonprofit organizations can provide food, shelter, clothing, behavioral and physical health care and other services but there are often so many of these organizations that it’s becomes difficult for emergency managers to know who to call.

Volunteer Organizations Active in Disasters wants to alleviate the need to call multiple individuals and organizations. Itself a volunteer organization, the group was formed last October in Colorado’s South Central AllHazards Region, which includes El Paso, Teller, Park, Lake and Chaffee counties, to bring local support organizations together into a one-stop-shop that emergency managers can use during an emergency.

On March 6, VOAD brought together representatives from more than 20 volunteer organizations, including the American Red Cross, Black Forest Together, Discover Goodwill, Global Food Exchange and a variety of faithbased groups, and representatives from almost 20 governmental agencies from the five counties for a workshop designed to build relationships and help agencies and organizations learn how to work together before a disaster hits.

The five-hour workshop,

Volunteers from Woodmen Valley Church served attendees at a joint volunteer organization-government agency emergency management workshop on March 6 in Woodland Park. Photos by Norma Engelberg which took place at Woodland Park Community Church, included a table top exercise and a scenario that is becoming all too familiar to Coloradans: a wildland fire.

“The Waldo Canyon Fire, the Black Forest Fire and subsequent flooding have offered us far too many opportunities to work together,” Teller County’s emergency manager Steve Steed said during opening remarks. “This workshop offers us an exceptional opportunity to maintain the relationships we’ve made during these emergencies.”

Nick DeSutter, South Central Region VOAD chair said the meeting was meant to expose volunteer agencies to the emergency management world and vice versa.

ment agencies and volunteer organizations.”

“Here in the West we `cowboy up,’” he added before sending the various discussion groups to six classrooms for the morning session. “This is one of the few places in the United States where people run toward the shots fired, the accident or the emergency.”

In each classroom, diverse groups discussed the same scenario and learned about the differences between the incident commander and the emergency manager and their various needs.

Agency representatives explained that an incident commander is in charge of tactics used to protect lives and properties and an emergency manager is in charge of evacuees, both human and animals, or as one manager said, incident commanders are in charge of “impact” and emergency managers are in charge of “splash.”

Each group came up with different solutions to similar problems, how to manage donations and spontaneous volunteers, how to make sure volunteers have the needed skills and are who they say they are.

Most people agreed that volunteerism needs to be encouraged but they also agreed that volunteers should be credentialed so that background checks can be made and they can be trained properly. Volunteers are encouraged to take basic Incident Command System, National Incident Management System training and/or Citizen Emergency Response Training. ICS and NIMS training is offered online free of charge at www.fema.gov/training.

Holmes reflects on her career

By Pat Hill

phill@colorado communitymedia.com Despite a strong show of support for Sue Holmes, the RE-1 School Board voted 3-2 not to renew the contract for the superintendent. The board voted after an executive session Feb. 24.

During the public meeting, there were no negative comments about the superintendent. “It was a packed board room and the most humbling thing I’ve ever been through,” Holmes said. “To listen to all these people talk about what I’ve done in the district was amazing.”

Dennis Jones is one of the three who voted not to renew Holmes’ contract.

“Decisions school boards have to make are difficult, not easy,” he said “You just don’t do it out of the clear blue sky.”

Jones was appointed to the board in April. “Many people shared their concerns,” he said. “A lot of them felt a change was necessary. She has done a lot of good things but there were other things you have to consider.”

Jones praised the district staff. “Our decision was for

the betterment of the staff and the students,” he said.

“There are two sides to the story.”

Jones, Don Daniel and Tana Rice voted to deny the contract renewal while board president Tim Braun and Lourdes Monger voted to renew.

Brent Kennedy, who served eight years on the school board, said, “I feel it’s a shame, the district is losing an exceptional leader,” he said. “I don’t know the reasons because they were discussed in executive session and hidden from the public. Unfortunately, a majority of the board voted so there must be a compelling reason.”

Kennedy praised Holmes and her eight-year tenure with the district.

“Sue is a fantastic leader who has accomplished a lot,” he said. “I didn’t see any of this coming when I was on the board. It’s something internal.”

While serving as president of the board, Kennedy worked with Holmes to create and facilitate the 21st Century Skills Forums with local businesses to seek input on what they need to see from graduates. “These are positive things to give students skills suited for the new century,” he said.

Holmes’ release from her contract was bad tim-

RE-1 School District Superintendent Sue Holmes has been denied renewal of her contract in a 3-2 vote by the board. Photo by Pat Hill ing, Kennedy added. “With just a few months left in the school year, and the retirement of Jean Olmstad, the district’s business manager, the timing is terrible,” he said. “Why didn’t they try to make remediation efforts for a year, if they thought there was something wrong? A lot of people are upset.”

Kennedy sent a letter of support which was read at

the board meeting. Among his comments: “A woefully incomplete list of accomplishments of the school district under Sue’s watch would include an innovative combination of literacy labs, math fundamentals work and vocational planning, which continue to further the directives of our district improvement plan, thus strengthening performance and growth in the

academic realm. Sue’s initiation of positive behavior support, her response to intervention through “Love and Logic” and “Rachel’s Challenge” as well as a solid disciplinary matrix have increased responsibility, accountability and behavior outcomes for all students.”

While absorbing the news of her release, Holmes said. “Three votes aren’t going to change my self-per-

ception,” she said. “I plan to just keep leading as I have led through the end of my contract.”

Nonetheless, Holmes expressed disappointment in the vote. “Unfortunately, it has affected people on the staff and I encourage them to keep working for the kids,” she said. “The school board voted to go in a different direction and I respect that.”

Florissant board issues plea to 54

By Pat Hill

phill@colorado communitymedia.com For 94 customers of the Florissant Water & Sanitation District, the election May 6 is crucial. With just 54 eligible registered voters in the district, the election is critical, a nail-biter.

At issue is the nearly $1 million in grants from the state of Colorado to modernize the aging water system, which, for the past several years, has incurred numerous violations.

There’s a catch, however. The money is only available if the voters, 54 of them, approve a release from the restrictions imposed by the TABOR Amendment, the Taxpayers Bill of Rights.

“We have to de-Bruce,” said Bob Faux, speaking to several district members in a public meeting March 5. The name refers to Doug Bruce, of Colorado Springs, who wrote the amendment that Colorado voters passed in 1992.

Under TABOR restrictions, special districts, or local entities, cannot receive state funds and go into debt without a vote of the people. As well, the board must have a reserve account to cover expenses for three months.

With the $1 million in forgivable loans (grants), the rewards for district consumers are clean and filtered water. “We want to build a water department from the ground up, put in a new filtration system which we do not have,” said Cathy Valdez, president of the board.

Currently, the district treats water with the outdated chlorine

method which imparts iron and nitrates into the water. While the water is safe, the new state standards require a filtering system.

“The new filtration systems are $287,000 apiece; and we need two of them,” said board member Bob Faux. “The system will take the manganese, the nitrates and the iron out.”

There could be 80 potential customers rejoining the district, Faux said. “They’ve chosen not to use the system because of the quality,” he added.

If it’s not one thing, it’s another for a board facing $100,000 in debt. “We owe the water operator, we owe us money, the chemical people, the county, IREA,” said Cynthia Russell, the district’s accountant. “We owe everybody.”

To top it off, the district isn’t collecting a sufficient amount of funds, due to meters that don’t work or don’t exist. With the installation of smart meters, the district could begin to cover the outstanding debt.

There’s hope. In addition to state money, the Rural Community Assistance Corporation has offered loan aid to help pay the current debts, but only if voters agree to “de-Bruce.”

For the tax-averse voter, Barb Faux, also a board member, assured the audience that “de-Brucing” won’t raise taxes.

Clay Brown offers advice Clay Brown, regional manager for the Department of Local Affairs, is the go-between the state and the district. Brown is a hero to local entities in Teller and western El Paso counties.

To the issue of meters and

Board members of the Florissant Water & Sanitation District listen to concerns expressed by water customers of the district at a meeting March 5. Photo by Pat Hill customers who have avoided payments, Brown offered a word of advice. “You gotta pick up the other folks; you can’t be part of the district and not play,” he said.

“They have the benefit of the water system, the benefit of any insurance deductions.”

With no records of past elections or payment on a federal loan of $200,000 of some years ago, the board is, in essence, starting from scratch. ”You gotta get on your feet this time,” Brown said. “And the state health department has come in and offered this great package of dollars.”

When it comes to raising revenue, the smart meters are the ticket. “If you have a leak, the

smart meter will know,” he said.

“Our advice is to put the meters in, get a year’s worth of data and then, if you have to adjust the rates, do it but don’t do it right away.”

From the audience, Russ Howard, who owns the Thunderbird Inn, raised the issue of a time when 300 water taps were sold to people in the district. “There should be a record of who bought the 300 taps,” he said. “That was a debt-reduction fee so we wouldn’t be this far in the hole. The fees were probably never collected.”

A man in the audience highlighted the thefts that occurred in the Cascade and Arabian Acres water districts. “What safeguards

do we have that it won’t happen here?’ he said.

Brown acknowledged the thefts in Cascade and Arabian Acres but said that Florissant had passed audits over the past four years; as well, all checks are signed by two board members.

But the ultimate question was what happens if the 54 voters fail to approve the measure to deBruce. “You’d have cisterns and have to haul water,” Brown said.

“But you’d still be paying for the district’s debt. We (the state) can’t dissolve a district that has debt.”

The board intends to hold a second public meeting April 8.

Teenager’s body found

The school provided grief counselors Monday during the day and evening, said the district’s media relations specialist, Stacy Schubloom.

Some want marshal, some don’t

the one that a recent call to the Blue Moose bar took 35 minutes for the deputies to respond, after being called by the local fire department. “That has since been debunked by the fire chief,” Guthrie said, referring to Steve Murphy, chief of the Green Mountain Falls/Chipita Park Fire Protection District. The chief’s rebuttal was posted on Facebook.

Law enforcement in Green Mountain Falls costs more per crime than in any other town in the county, Guthrie said. To a question by Mayor Lorrie Worthey, Guthrie said she obtained the information from the sheriff’s department.

Ann Pinell looked back on the town’s history. “The marshal’s office is part of our heritage, the heartbeat of our town,” she said. “Over the years, I’ve just seen thoseheart-to-heart connections.”

As an example, Pinell said that former GMF deputy marshal Susan Barnes helped catch a dog running loose; the dog has

phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com Both sides had a chance to express their opinions about law enforcement in a public workshop in Green Mountain Falls March 4. While deputies from El Paso County patrol the town, in addition to the State Patrol and Teller County, several citizens want to return to the tradition of having a town marshal, specifically, former marshal Tim Bradley. Others are satisfied with the current coverage.

Former mayor Dick Bratton led the charge for returning the position of marshal. Reading from a two-page document, Bratton said that a local marshal knows the residents, where they live and thus can respond quickly to emergency calls. Bratton’s letter is published in The Courier this week.

In response, Katharine Guthrie questioned Bratton’s statements, particularly

since been adopted by a resident.

Jim Van Scoten referred to Bratton’s reference to the citizens’ fears about safety in a town without a marshal. “From what Dick said, it seems to me that Cascade, Chipita Park and Crystola are unsafe towns because they do not have a marshal,” he said. “We know that not to be true. This town is not unsafe.”

Mayor Pro Tem Jane Newberry challenged the audience to become volunteers through the sheriff’s training program.

“They train for motorists’ assists, traffic control, parking complaints, crime-prevention assistance to include vacation and business checks,” she said. “This is a lovely opportunity for everyone to step up and become an active part of your community.”

To a question from Tammy Seabourn, former deputy Susan Barnes said the department had about 200 calls for service a month. “That included everything,” Barnes said. “We had about eight to 20 cases a

month, anything that would require pulling a case file.”

Darin Searbourn lauded the sheriff’s deputies, one of whom he saw doing a vacation check, walking up and down a steep outdoor staircase. “I was in awe,” he said.

“And it takes a lot to awe me. I think these men here (sheriff’s deputies in the audience) will protect us with their lives.”

Trustee Margaret Peterson, a candidate in the April 1 election, responded to Seabourn. “This corroborates what has been said; I’ve seen a lot more patrols in town recently,” she said.

Kimberly Christianson recalled the days when Bradley followed the school bus.

“When I took my kids to the school bus and the marshal was behind the school bus; it was just nice having that presence, with so much going on with schools… and things,” she said.

But GOP lawmakers say measure will have little impact

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com A Democrat-sponsored bill that aims to provide more access to affordable housing in Colorado passed the House on March 4, following a partyline vote.

Democrats see the bill as an overdue piece of legislation that would help struggling families obtain roofs over their heads, including those who were affected by last year’s flooding that ravaged parts of the state.

But House Republicans said Democrats’ own policies have contributed to the lack of affordable housing and that the bill’s effort to help flood-impacted families doesn’t go far enough.

House Bill 1017 would provide tax incentives to developers who construct affordable or reasonablypriced homes. The bill also gives the state’s Home Investment Trust Fund the ability to make more low-interest

loans available for the purposes of affordable housing construction.

The bill would impact the state’s General Fund by $40 million over the next decade.

Rep. Crisanta Duran, D-Denver, the bill’s sponsor, said the legislation is a response to the increasing need for affordable housing in Colorado, where rents continue to rise, causing more people to become priced out of their neighborhoods.

“It is an issue that has hit every single corner of our state, in both urban and rural areas,” Duran said just before the House vote.

A bill amendment that was added prior to the House vote would give housing priority to those who were affected by last year’s floods in the northern part of the state.

However, House Republicans said they needed more assurance that the bill would give priority to flood victims and proposed an amendment that would require 50 percent of the money to be set aside for that purpose.

That and several other Republican amendments failed.

And Republicans wondered whether this bill would do anything

to help the state’s affordable housing issues, to begin with. Rep. Cheri Gerou, R-Evergreen, said that Democrats’ own regulations on the construction industry - which were meant to provide more consumer protections have raised insurance costs and have made it less desirable for developers to build affordable homes.

“We’ve basically killed affordable housing in the private sector and this bill does nothing to help that,” Gerou said.

House Minority Leader Brian DelGrosso, R-Loveland, agreed with his Republican colleague.

“We think we’re going to dangle a few dollars of a credit in front of someone and that it’s somehow going to solve the problem?” he said. “We’re kidding ourselves.”

But Rep. Jonathan Singer, D-Longmont, quoted Chinese philosopher Confucius as he accused Republicans of playing politics for not getting their way in the amendment process.

“While on the road to revenge we need to be prepared to dig two graves,” Singer said. “We as a body cannot afford to waste time with petty partisanship when it comes to the flood or this bill.”

Child care tax credit advances Bill aims to help low-income families with child care costs

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Low-income families who struggle to pay for child care could get some relief, under a Democrat-sponsored bill that cleared its first legislative hurdle on March 5.

But Republicans on the House Finance Committee called the effort a “Band Aid” approach to a problem that they believe is not up to government to solve.

House Bill 1072 would create child care

tax credits to families who make less than $25,000 a year in federally-adjusted gross income. The credit would be equal to 25 percent of a taxpayer’s child care expenses.

The new credit — which is capped at $1,000 — would only be available to those who do not qualify for existing child care tax credits that are tied to federal returns.

Rep. Brittany Pettersen, D-Lakewood, a bill sponsor, told the committee that parents in poverty often face two choices — either give up their career endeavors to take care of their children or use a large portion of their incomes to pay for child care.

“This bill will increase self-sufficiency by allowing parents to stay in the work-

Agencies

force,” Pettersen said. “Our child care expenses are one of the most expensive in the nation.”

Marlana Wallace of the Colorado Fiscal Institute, a nonpartisan economic think tank that supports the legislation, said that Colorado ranks as the fifth least affordable state for infant care and that child care costs often soak up as much as half of a low-income family’s income.

Only those who support the legislation provided testimony, including Megan Smith, an Alamosa single mother of a 7-year-old child. Smith said she moved to Colorado from Chicago to attend Adams State University five years ago and that she

initially struggled to pay for child care.

Smith said that she now has a goodpaying job with the university and currently wouldn’t qualify for the tax credit. However, she told committee members that she remembers what it was like to struggle and that she hopes the legislation could help others going forward.

“If I had that kind of assistance... it would have been a huge impact,” she said.

“Every little bit helps.”

Supporters of the bill said the legislation would fix a loophole that disqualifies many low-income families from receiving a tax credit that was set up by the state in 1996.

to get the Creative Arts District going, a request council granted. The creative arts district board has submitted a letter of intent to the state and is waiting to see if the city will be chosen as one of 15 applicants that will need to present a full application.

If the city is chosen for the “short list,” as some councilmembers called it, the money will be used to hire someone to complete the extensive application. The state will use the applications to designate five new creative arts districts. If the city isn’t chosen this year, there is a fair chance that it will be chosen next year, in which case another $10,000 might be needed. Fleer doesn’t anticipate asking for any more funding after 2015.

Council also approved on initial posting an ordinance that if given final approval, will allow city residents to construct accessory dwelling units as rental units. Ordinarily, councilmembers wait until the public hearing to vote against an ordinance if they are so inclined but that didn’t stop Councilmember Ken Matthews from casting a no vote. He said he has heard rumors from another Colorado town, which he admitted has a much different demographic than Woodland Park, that accessory units can cause problems and he didn’t think they are a good idea.

Utilities Director Kip Wiley reminded city water customers that their water rates will automatically rise by about 2 percent in April and City Manager David Buttery presented the city’s annual report for 2013, which for the first time included a full page about the North Teller County Build a Generation and Teen Center. He said the town is in great shape.

Fleer gave his monthly economic and Downtown Development Authority report. He said he is working, with some success, on finding tenants for several empty storefronts in the downtown district and was happy to report that Woodland Hardware is open in its new location in Woodland Station. He reported on development planned for Woodland Station Lot 2 and the former Amerigas property and that feelers are out for development of Lots 3, 4 and 5. “We’re working hard to pay off the DDA’s debt to the city,” he said.

The next council meeting will be on March 20.

response team commander for the Teller County Sheriff’s Office, said there are usually things he needs quickly at the beginning of an emergency. “In a fire, we might need to evacuate residents within the first 30 minutes or less,” he said. “We need temporary locations to send these people hours before the Red Cross shelter is up and running.

Time can become a big concern.”

He added that unsolicited donations can become a storage nightmare but they can also be a big help.

“We have our own stockpiles of socks, dog and cat food, hay and diapers,” he said. “When a highway is closed people could be in need very quickly.”

Halfway through the meeting, the groups broke for lunch that was provided and served by volunteers from Woodmen Valley Church. At the end of the day nearly everyone agreed that the meeting opened some eyes. Most said that a directory of services like the one published in Teller County can be of help. Teller County’s directory not only includes volunteer organizations but also lists schools, churches and businesses.

DeSutter showed the group an information card concept, similar to a baseball card that could make identifying volunteers and volunteer organizations easier. He also unveiled the South Central Region VOAD’s improved website, www.cosrcvoad.org. The site is still under construction but when it’s done it should provide a lot more information and links to various member organizations.

Other websites where people can find out how to help in an emergency include www.helpcoloradonow.org and www.coemergency.com.

Columbine student published

By Pat Hill

phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com Published writer, photographer and poet, Jerrod Gallup, 9, is surprised by his sudden fame.

After all, it’s not every day that a third-grader is published in a magazine with a worldwide distribution.

“I was surprised to see how they decorated the page, with the rocks on top,” said Gallup, a student at Columbine Elementary School in Woodland Park.

Gallup has a three-quarter page spread in “Deposits,” featuring his work on selenite, a mineral commonly found in Mexico and Oklahoma.

Gallup is a Pebble Pup, one of the budding scientists taught by Steve Veatch, Teller County’s own earth scientist. “The mineral really interested me and I didn’t know you could go to Oklahoma and do crystal digs,” he said. “I also learned that selenite is very fragile.”

An assignment from Veatch is comprehensive, includes facts, written text, a poem written in haiku form and a photograph of the mineral. “That’s how I get the students to do more expressions,” Veatch said.

Veatch is fairly bursting with pride, as the editors of “Deposits,” liked Gallup’s article so much they are using the spread to launch a regular column in the quarterly magazine, titled “Guide to Minerals.” The magazine is devoted to rocks, fossils and geology.

Columbine School principal, Veronica Wolken, is as proud as Veatch. “To see children engage in curiosity; I believe this is what school is for, an invitation to a place where passion meets curiosity.”

opinions / yours and ours

Guns, dynamite: Warford shoots from the hip Guns and dynamite, badges and bullets, labor versus mine owners – saddle them up with a talent for shooting (accurately) from the hips and mix in a reputation as a bad man, and a picture of Jim (Lambert) Warford emerges.

“People in Independence didn’t think much of him but knowing his reputation as a bad man, they kept their mouths shut,” wrote Mabel Barbee Lee in her classic 1958 book Cripple Creek Days.

“He boasted too loudly about his sharpshooting prowess and seemed proud of the fact both his father and grandfather barely escaped lynching because of their gun scrapes. Only a few years before, Jim himself, who had been Tom Horn’s chief triggerman during the Wyoming range wars, had fled to Colorado when Tom was finally caught and strung up. He hid out in the mining camps over in the San Juans, which at the time were involved bloody labor battles. But Jim couldn’t keep his presence secret for long. Two pistols which he could fire simultaneously from the hips always hung from his cartridge belt, and he never missed his target whether it was the heart of man or the beady eye of a blue jay. Few mortals, aware of the notches on his guns, had the temerity to start arguing with Jim Warford.”

According to the Daviess County Historical Society in Pattonsburg, MO, where Warford grew up as Jim Lambert, he lived in Independence Camp and became associated with the mine owners and prominent members of the Citizen Alliance.

“He soon became a troubleshooter to aid the effort to rid the district of unionism,” according to the society.

“His reputation spread with the shooting of Deputy Constables Miller and Lebo in the streets of Goldfield, Colo. Jim Lambert killed Miller and Lebo in self defense at the polling place ‘in an action of true grit.’”

Stories vary however on what really happened that Election Day, Nov. 9, 1904 Lambert (Warford) when he killed the two men.

“A cousin of the desperado, Tom Lambert of Pattonburg, says both men were shot at the same time, one gunshot each from the two guns in the hands of a man wearing a white hat. Both shots took effect at about the same place on both men,” according to Daviess County Historical Society.

According to a recent story in the Pikes Peak Courier View by Danny Summers, citing Michelle Rozell, manager of the Cripple Creek Outlaws and Lawmen Jail Museum as a source, “Warford was one of the deputy sheriffs charged with seeing that all went well in the pro-union town of

Goldfield. At election time in November of 1904, Warford ran across Isaac Leibo and Chris Miller, both constables at Goldfield.

The two lawmen were sitting on a fence near a polling place. Warford told them to move on. They just sat on the fence with their hands in their pockets, so Warford whipped out his pistols and killed them both. Warford was quickly jailed.

“According to Warford’s story, he fired in self defense. According to the autopsy report, the two men were shot in the back.

Warford was in and out of jail for years. As sentiment wavered, charges were dropped and re-filed.”

The Election Day ‘gun fight’ brought Warford (Lambert) five years but the Governor of Colorado, according to the Daviess County Historical Society, eventually pardoned him.

Warford (Lambert) had already enhanced his reputation in the district with other incidents as author Mabel Barbee Lee noted in her book.

“As the deportation lengthened, Sheriff Ed Bell and his deputy, Jim Warford, grew so ruthless that women trembled at the mere mention of their names. Then the commander of the troops said that something should be done to put a stop to the pro-labor editorials in the Victor Daily Record. ‘They are likely to incite riots,’ he asserted, ‘and lead to the destruction of life and property. A raid on the plant might teach the radicals a lesson or two.’

The job went to triggerman Jim Warford.

As herded the editor and four members of

the staff toward the door, Jim stopped and looked back at the wreckage. Only the big clock on the wall was running as usual.

It angered the deputy sheriff and, letting out a string of oaths, he shot off the clock’s minute hand. ‘There by God,’ he shouted, booting the editor, ‘that’ll learn you to mark time an’ get in step.”

Information from FindAGrave.com notes that Warford (Lambert) came to a violent end himself in 1912.

“On April 17, 1912, Jim Warford’s body was found frozen on Battle Mountain near Victor in Teller County. He was riddled with bullet holes. His Savage 30-30 rifle and someone’s sack of dynamite sticks were found near the body. The Teller County Sheriff said he believed Warford was killed the night of April 11 since Warford’s Colt .45 revolvers were pawned in Colorado Springs the next day by a person using Jim’s name.

Jim Warford’s murder was never solved despite much investigation. James Hanover Warford was buried April 21, 1912, at the Sunnyside Cemetery. Mr. R.E. Maupin, a Pattonsburg banker, paid for the services. Jim’s effects included a signet ring, a belt with buckle reading “Deputy Sheriff of the Black Hills,” and a star showing Jim may have been a deputy sheriff of Elkhorn, Nev. Jim was married to his cousin Sarah Adaline Rhoades, they married in Daviess County, MO., 20 Feb 1894. Jim and Addie had three children, Mable, Theodesia, and Freda Warford. James and Addie divorced prior to his murder.”

Consider getting involved in the election process As my son Garrison and I were sitting down to a meal of grilled tilapia, boiled asparagus, and julienne potatoes the other night, we heard a knock at our front door.

I was somewhat irritated since I was ready to chill out and watch a little Gilligan’s Island after a long day or writing. The man at our steps was gathering signatures of republican candidates to get on the June primary ballot.

At first I said I was busy and asked him to come back another time. But then I thought “I want to be of service in any way I can to help make this election the best it can be.”

Among the petitions I signed was for tea party candidate Owen Hill, who is running for senator against democrat incumbent Mark Udall. While I am not familiar with all of Hill’s positions, I have talked to a number of folks - including Palmer Lake councilman Michael Maddox - who has spent time with Hill at the state house. Hill, in case you don’t know, represents the east side of Colorado Springs as a state senator.

PIKES PEAK COURIER

Hill’s chances of getting the republican nomination took a hit last week when state representative Cory Gardner jumped into the race. That caused Monument resident Amy Stephens to jump ship in her run for the nomination, as well as the ever controversial Ken Buck.

I don’t know which republican senate candidate I am going to fully support at this point, but the main reason my son and I took the time to sign the petitions — as our tilapia was cooling down — was because we want to take an active role in the electoral process. Garrison, by the way, is a 20-year-old who is in his second year at the

I cover the issues and I talk with a lot of candidates running for different offices, but sometimes at the end of the day I just want to put it all behind me and go work out at the gym and sit in the sauna and relax.

I was disturbed to learn that in the 2012 general election only about 200 of the 1,900 registered voters in Palmer Lake cast their vote. I am no way picking on Palmer Lake, but often times people complain after an election about the folks who are elected or the issues that have been passed or defeated.

We may not always agree with the results, but at least by casting a vote we have a chance to make a difference. If we don’t like who got elected to office, we have a chance to vote in the next election and try to put our candidate into office.

I know a lot of you may think that even if you cast your vote it doesn’t make a difference. But it does. If you feel strongly for a candidate or issue, but choose not to vote, you are basically giving half a vote for the

person you don’t want to win or the issue you don’t want to pass.

I have been voting since 1981 when I first became eligible. I cast my first vote for President of the United States in 1984 when I checked Ronald Reagan’s name. It was a pretty awesome feeling walking out of that voting booth. I felt really patriotic.

I’ve voted in eight Presidential elections in all. My guy has won four times. While I may not agree with the politics of the guy who was elected over my candidate, I fully support him in his job and hope that he does the best things for our nation.

Over the next couple of months, municipalities all over El Paso and Teller counties will hold elections for mayors, councilman, fire board members and issues related to marijuana sales and other local concerns.

I encourage each and every one of you — whether you are of voting age or not - to find out about the issues and take an active role.

Altering the gene is an ethical hot potato Recently, the FDA began deliberations on whether or not to let scientists at Oregon Health & Science University in Portland pursue a controversial reproductive technology with humans using the DNA of three people to create a baby free of certain disease-linked defects. According to a Bloomberg report, the process works by replacing potentially variant DNA in the unfertilized egg of a hopeful mother with disease free genes from a female donor.

As always, the prospect of altering the human gene pool is an ethical hot potato.

Proponent Dr. Alan Copperman, director of reproductive endocrinology and infertility at Mount Sinai says, “The most exciting part, scientifically, is to be able to prevent or fix an error in the genetic machinery.”

A voice of caution comes from Phil Yeske, chief science officer of the United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation, who says, “Once you make this change, if a female arises from the process and goes on to have children that change is passed on,

so it’s forever.” That’s uncharted territory; we just don’t know what that means.”

A New York Times article describes the procedure in question as one that involves mitochondria, which is the cellular powerhouse that converts energy into a form that the cells can use. Defective mitochondria from the mother-to-be are replaced with healthy mitochondria from another woman, which can be done either prior to or after the egg is fertilized.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor: We need a town marshal: • To have a level of safety and security services that our residents have come to expect over the years that El Paso County cannot provide • To have better response times. It is true that a tax initiative provided the EPC Sheriff with funds to increase the number of deputies. However, it resulted in providing only one more deputy on duty (for a total of 2 at a time) to cover Patrol Area 8. That area extends from Old Colorado City to Crystola. In the past, the deputy was usually tied up on high-priority coverage at the “B” Street bar area just outside Fort Carson. As reported by a GMF bar owner, EPC was called about a recent fight in the bar and the response time was 35 minutes. Our Marshal is familiar with our local bars and can deal with problems more quickly and effectively than EPC. • To control our own destiny- A town marshal works for our board of trustees who can set policies and priorities. Sheriff’s deputies work for a boss in Colorado Springs who controls their activities and sets their priorities. With the vast area the Sheriff has to cover, Green Mountain Falls can never be a “top” priority for them.

• Residents feel more comfortable and safer having a marshal they know instead of an unknown Deputy. Officer Barnes testified on this subject at a board meeting.

• Our local marshal knows the town and the resident’s needs. A marshal knows the street system and where people live, thus, shortening the response times. This could save lives.

• Our Marshal can pick out strangers and keep an eye on them. GMF used to be known as a favored location for drug dealing • To enable effective community policing using the interaction of our local marshal with the residents. To enable an effective Neighborhood Watch Program.

EPC deputies simply do not have the time to get involved. .

El Paso County law enforcement in GMF is only temporary EPC Sheriff Maketa spoke to the Board on Nov 19. The Nov 26 Mountain Jackpot reported Maketa: “We are not here to take over. We consider that you have a vacancy (with your marshal’s department).” By law, he said, the sheriff’s department is required to handle law enforcement for GMF for an interim period of one year.

The town can afford to have a town marshal In November, Marshal Bradley submitted a budget for the Marshal’s Department with salaries totaling $65,000 which provided for a Marshal and one Deputy.

However, Trustee Price replaced that with his own budget that had no funding for a Marshal and Deputy but instead replaced them with two part-time “Code Enforcement Officers” for salaries totaling $30,000. It should be noted that the funds deleted from Bradley’s request by Price were added to the Department of Public Works Budget.

Prettyman Continued from Page 12

The Oregon researchers report that four macaque monkeys were born from just such a procedure in 2009 and three years later, they are said to be healthy. In fact, the genetic engineering was used in humans from 1997 to 2003 resulting in the birth of approximately 30 infants worldwide.

In 2003, the FDA slammed the door on the method of mitochondria being injected into fertilized eggs taking the position that genetically manipulated embryos are a biological product and subject to regulation resulting in halting the technique in humans. Research with laboratory animals, however, has continued and the researchers from Oregon claim that the mitochondrial procedure is ready for human consumption.

There are only two types of DNA … nuclear, which is handed down by both parents and mitochondria, which only comes from the mother. The implantation

The funding required to provide salaries for two Post Certified Officers (Marshal and one Deputy) then is $65,000 x .75 (only 3 quarters left in FY 2014= $48,750, minus $30,000 (already in Budget for COEs)= $18,750 needed.

RECOMMENDATION; Amend the 2014 Budget to transfer funds from Public Works to Marshal’s Department to pay for two Post Certified Officers for the remaining three quarters of FY 2014.

The Public Works Budget is $235,457 (including parks & open space and pool) which is 54 percent of the total Town Budget of $435,329.

Apply for Grants: Gaming Grants: Officer Susan Barnes told me she felt we could get a $25,000 gaming funds grant to pay for equipment and other expenses. She was preparing a grant request but we do not currently qualify since our Marshal’s Department is no longer “active.”

DUI Grants: We usually get a DUI Grant for $4,000 every year to pay for DUI patrols.

Chief Bradley said only 40 % of their time was spent on U.S. 24 and that 85 percent of the citations were not written on U.S. 24. These patrols save lives.

Sincerely, Dick Bratton Former Mayor Dear Editor: Woodland Park Senior Citizens Club would like to offer an enthusiastic “thank you,” to everyone who made our 3rd Annual Chili Cook-off a success, from the judges to the participants to the volunteers.

This year’s winners were as follows: 1st Place, Barb Asbury with Fire on the Mountain; 2nd Place, Fast Eddy’s Chili; 3rd Place, Uncle Jack’s (Berger) Elk Chili, 4th Place, Pat Danielson’s Buffalo Chip Chili. Honorable mention for Most Creative went to James Lott for Terri’s Terrific Texas Chili and People’s Choice Award this year went to Aline Joy Goodchild for her Lingering Bite Pork Green Chili.

Thank you to our judges who took time out of their busy weekend to be with us, Mayor Dave Turley, Sheriff Mike Ensminger, Commissioner Norm Steen and CEO of Pikes Peak Regional Hospital, Terry Buckner.

Also a big thank you to Ent Federal Credit Union and Pat Key, our major sponsor for the third year in a row. And thanks to Pikes Peak Regional Hospital for their sponsorship.

Great chili, great turnout and great fundraiser for Woodland Park Senior Citizens Club. Hope to see you next year!

road blocked off for the renewal of the diverter that runs water from Catamount Creek into Fountain Creek to keep the Lake from being fouled by run-off from upstream. Coupled with the re-pavement of the Hotel Street bridge (already complete), the repairs to the El Paso Street bridge and repairs to the Ute Pass Avenue bridge (still to come) plus last summer’s streamside mitigation and right-of-way mitigation (two separate programs, one of which is ongoing again for this year) we’ve brought in excess of $280,000 of improvements to GMF at exactly $0 cost to the tax payers.

In the very near future we will begin construction of our new town hall on a property recently bought for that purpose. By the time the building is complete there will have been spent in excess of $800,000 on behalf of GMF residents.

This is a structure that will serve the town well into the next century. Not just for municipal functions like business office, law enforcement, and court but also Chamber of Commerce or Boy / Girl Scout meetings, hopefully a park and rec. feature some time down the road.

There is any number of civic functions this building will serve. All at a cost to the taxpayers of exactly $0.

Because of technology advancements in HVAC, insulation techniques etc., we may even spend around the same amount to heat the new building as we did the old one.

This is good news folks!! So why the pushback? Why do we hear all the nasty comments about Taj Mahal Town Hall?

Why do Mayor (un) Worthey and Trustee Stevens carpet bagger cronies (you knowthe ones who don’t live in GMF but spew false or uninformed comments to interject themselves into GMF business) waste our time? Just lately somebody wrote to DOLA complaining that we (GMF) didn’t really qualify for funding because we aren’t adjacent to a coal mine. We don’t make up the rules, we just try to follow them. By the way, at the board meeting prior to the grant hearings, Mayor (un) Worthey announced that she would

attend the hearing and presentation because it was so important that the “Mayor” be present. It was so important to her, the crusader of “Transparency of Government and Government Accountability”, that she was a no-show. So once again Mayor ProTem Jane Newberry had to step up and make the official introductions for the presentation. This was only fitting since Jane actually participated in the grant application. The grant awarded to us was nearly half a million dollars.

These last few sentences make a lot of sense to me. If you want to lead people you lead by example and you treat people as equals.

Jane equals good. If you can’t get people to follow like some mindless automaton or they’re not impressed by your title you attack their integrity and honesty by attacking them on Facebook or accusing them of illegal acts. Lorrie equals bad.

Selfishly working to improve the community without changing its character.

Jane equals good. Character assassination and accusations to create suspicion without actual facts. Lorrie equals bad.

Need I say more?

Sincerely, Mac Pitrone GMF trustee P.S. I like Margaret Peterson for Green Mountain Falls Trustee and I’ll gush about her next time. M.P.

RESPONSE TO BRATTON According to Rob McArthur, Green Mountain Falls’ interim town manager and public works director, there were inaccuracies in Dick Bratton’s letter published this week. “There is no line item in the 2014 budget for two part-time code enforcement officers,” McArthur said. “There was no budget-amendment or transfer of funds from the marshal’s office to public works or administration.

The municipal budget was voted upon and ratified in December 2013 for this year and we will go through the process again in nine months for 2015.”

Dear Editor: With all the animosity involved in Green Mountain Falls’ politics these days you’d be amazed at what we should be celebrating. After flood, fire and bad attitude we still managed to provide our citizens with a damned fine quality of life. If you take a ride over to Lake Street in GMF you’ll see the bottom half of the

process replaces the donor’s nuclear DNA, which determines things like hair color and intelligence with the nuclear DNA of the prospective mother leaving the donor’s mitochondria in place.

The new designer egg is then fertilized with the father’s sperm in vitro and implanted in the mother’s womb. Scientist say the result will be a child that will be genetically free from a potentially fatal disease, yet still retain the physical characteristic of the parents.

“Every time we get a little closer to genetic tinkering to promote health … that’s exciting and scary,” says Dr. Copperman. “People are afraid it will turn into a dystopian brave new world.”

With the potential of irreversibly altering the human species, the question that the FDA will be struggling with is …

“Should we be doing this?”

Yoga for health and fitness

By Pat Hill

phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com Editor’s note: The article about Gentle Yoga 4 Healing + Wellness is the first of a series on health, including nutrition and exercise ideas.

In the race to be healthy, to adopt a lifestyle that enhances quality of life, yoga is among the options. “Yoga can improve flexibility, strength and balance,” said Nancy Stannard, who teaches classes in her home studio in Woodland Park.

In addition to the physical aspect, yoga is therapeutic and can be effective in treating heart disease, back pain or stress, she said. “Most of my classes focus on stress relief, because that hits everybody.”

In today’s frenzied on-the-go lifestyles, yoga is designed to help people relax. “Yoga means union of mind, body and spirit, has changed my attitude on how I handle my own stress, how I interact with people,” Stannard said. “Yoga has made me more thoughtful, more aware of everybody else.”

For the hesitant, the reluctant entrant into yoga, Stannard offers reassurance. “I’m not a pretzel-type person,” she said. “To me yoga is not exercise even though it has exercise benefits. It’s a way of being, a way of life.”

Stannard includes deep-breathing exercises in her classes. “No one ever breathes deeply,” she said.

Certified to teach yoga to patients being treated for, or having survived, breast cancer, Stannard helps her clients improve mobility and strength in the upper body.

“Yoga helps them get comfortable with their body again,” she said. “A lot of them tell me they feel like their body has betrayed them so yoga helps build that relationship with the body gently.”

For people who have never had yoga, Stannard has designed class titled “Yoga 101” and includes five sessions. “Once they’ve completed 101 they will feel more comfortable going into a yoga class,” she said.

Peggy Fields offers testimonial to the beginners’ class. “Nancy provides a warm, cheerful environment and you can go at your own pace,” she said.

Stannard’s “101 class” begins March 15.

Kellie Case offers another testimonial. “I am a new student with Nancy at her lovely yoga studio; however, I have practiced yoga most of my adult life. I couldn’t imagine a better yoga practitioner sharing her knowledge to help others learn the benefits and joy of yoga in one’s life.

I recommend her without reservations!”

Stannard has long-term expectations. “I can’t say enough about yoga,” she said. “I expect to be doing yoga until I’m 99 at least. It gets better and better.”

For information, call Stannard at 237-6547

phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com With the sale of the Hospitality House, a slice of Cripple Creek history changes course as the venerable hotel and RV Park take on new owners.

Bonnie Mackin sold the business Feb. 12 to Michael Duffy, Richard Leonard, Jr., Kay Duffy and Gail Diley, all of whom live in Denver. “They stayed in the RV park and the hotel; they kept coming back trying to make it work,” Mackin said. “As did so many people; I probably had 50 t0 75 people who wanted to buy the place but the problem was the financing.”

The four plan to open the 17-room hotel and RV Park in May and keep the business open all year.

Built in 1901 as a county hospital, the building, with its ornate sculpture and brick exterior, is an architectural tribute to the Victorian period, one of dozens that distinguish the city of Cripple Creek.

While the Hospitality House, as well as the Imperial Hotel, is a vital part of the Mackin family legacy, this last sale is, in essence, a farewell and the end of an era.

For Bonnie Mackin, widow of Stephen, and daughter-in-law of the late Dorothy and Wayne Mackin, the sale is a relief as well as a time to cherish the memories.

“Wayne and Dorothy bought the build-

ing, which had been vandalized, at auction in 1965,” she said. “They always did have great foresight in so many things, even buying the Hospitality House when it was just kind of a wreck.”

Bonnie joined the enterprise in 1967 when the Mackins brought 35,000 people every summer to Cripple Creek to see the melodrama at the Imperial Hotel.

Hired by mail as the secretary, Mackin, 21, drove to the mountains from her home in Kansas, arriving in an April blizzard. “I was scared to death, pulled into the Imperial parking lot and here came Dorothy and Fern Vetter (costume designer) to greet me,” she said. “I’d never been there, didn’t know where it was, but it sounded like the most exciting job.”

For $100 a month, plus room and board, Mackin paid the bills, did the payroll for 75 people and handled the reservations. “I checked out the five cash registers after the show started at 8:30 p.m. and then had to balance the books every night,” she said. “Six days a week.”

Those were the good ol’ days. “That was the most fun summer of my life,” she said. “We worked so hard, partied so hard.

Bonnie’s future husband was off traveling in Europe that first summer. “Steve came back. And that was it,” she said.

They were married in 1969 and opened The Crucible Shop next to the Imperial Ho-

tel where they sold his jewelry as well as the works of other artisans.

The Mackins sold the Imperial in 1992 ending nearly 47 years of ownership of the worldrenowned hotel and theatre. Gary and Winie Ledford bought the business in a foreclosure sale in September 2010.

Until the sale of the Hospitality House, and after the death of her husband, Bonnie Mackin managed the business by herself. “This will be my first summer in 47 years off,” she said.

“I can’t tell you how I’m looking forward to it.

I have taken care of tourists and been happy doing it, but I want to be one now.”

The new owners are dedicated to maintaining the city’s history harbored by the building.

“The names are still on the doors; you can stay in the emergency room, the operating room, which still has the old tile as well as the original operating table,” she said. “You can stay in maternity or intensive care.”

For Bonnie Mackin, the sale is entrusting a tradition as well as a heritage to the new owners. “I just feel like the reason it took so long for me to sell it is that it had to be the right people,” she said. “And these are the right people. They have dreams just like Wayne and Dorothy did. The Mackins struggled for many years but they ended up doing very well.”

‘Poor’ picture turns pretty Challenging life of many jobs in later years leads to art career, local gallery owner

By Virginia Grantier

vgrantier@ coloradocommunitymedia.com It might not have been a pretty picture to some people, seeing a 9-year-old girl, from a struggling family, scrubbing walls for 25 cents an hour so she could pay for a pair of shoes.

“But it made me what I am today,” said artist and art teacher Katherine McNeill, 72, of Larkspur, owner of McNeill Fine Art Gallery, 363 Village Square Lane, Castle Pines.

Now, there are a multitude of pictures, some valued in the multi-thousands of dollars.

On a recent night, a nearby restaurant, Duke’s, had a waiting line, so wait-listers wandered into McNeill’s gallery to drink in the art — and there were also drinks. McNeill offers a glass of wine, as well as a tour.

The gallery has some of her paintings, many of them aspen-tree scenes in oil.

There are painted words on the painted tree trunks, meant to be like the wood carvings that Western Slope sheepherders long ago left on trees — now called “shepherd’s art,” she said. Other McNeill paintings are far and wide — in Europe, Latin America, Hawaii, elsewhere.

She has several artists’ work in her gallery — all Colorado artists — and stories about them: like the sculptor who can’t talk anymore, the result of a serious illness, but still creates his art; and the jewelry maker who mines his own topaz and other gems and cuts them himself.

But there’s also her story.

McNeill’s parents and seven children left Canada in 1951. Her jack-of-all-trades dad was hoping for better financial oppor-

tunities. She said things remained hard.

She dreamed of becoming a singer or ice skater, never thought about art, although she liked to work with her hands.

She fell in love right after high school — is still married to Robert McNeill after almost 54 years, and started raising kids, and working various jobs — was a cake decorator at one point, a hair dresser, seamstress and dental technician.

But eventually, she took an art class so she could paint the unique old oak trees in Santa Rosa, and she’d spend evenings sitting on the living room floor by the fireplace painting while her doting husband sat near her.

Robert managed a drug store, long hours, and eventually they decided to make a change so he could have more time with the kids. They bought a feed store in Woodland Park and moved to Colorado.

So, for a few years she was loading hay and grain into vehicles and then sometimes in the store she’d paint.

She said her first commission happened when a customer saw her painting and asked McNeill to paint Pikes Peak for him.

Then another admirer, George Peak, a successful investor, saw her work.

He told her he wanted to pay for her to be able to study and have time to paint.

She found out he had a habit of using his money to help. He had paid for college tuition for a couple of waitresses after finding out their stories, she remembers.

“He gave me an opportunity,” she said.

She started studying with instructors.

But later, the McNeills lost their store.

She also lost her desire to paint for a while.

They moved to Denver. She would get a teacher’s aide position and later a receptionist job at an environmental consulting firm and again just painted on the side.

What helped launch her art career happened after she learned there was a call out for artwork for the state’s capitol building.

In her off-hours, while her husband did

She is known for her oil paintings of landscapes, like the aspen trees in the background, but artist Katherine McNeill also teaches. She’s shown here finishing up a class project, a replication of a Monet painting. Photos by Virginia Grantier all the housework, she painted a 76-inchwide painting of Mt. Wilson.

It didn’t win a spot, but in 1993 the firm she worked for needed artwork for a new office. She told them they may not know that she painted, but she had a painting they might like. They liked: Bought it for $2,500.

But tough times weren’t over. Robert had started a new job in Nevada, then lost it. She, meanwhile, had given notice at her job to join him and her firm already had hired someone else. Now they both, getting on in years, were unemployed.

She said on her way to her last day of work she remembers crying, that she just wanted to paint, and remembers asking God to write something in the clouds telling her what to do.

When she got to work, the company president called her into his office, told her to sit down, and then slammed his fist on his desk.

He asked her what in the world had she been doing all this years — why hadn’t she been painting, that she could make a living doing it.

He then commissioned her to do eight paintings for the office.

Artist Katherine McNeill, owner of McNeill Fine Art Gallery, in Castle Pines, saw in the Grand Junction area “shephards’ art” carved long ago in trees, and now in her many painting of aspens she often replicates that idea.

It was standing room only for community members and professionals attending the 2014 Wildfire Preparedness Event March 1 at the Ute Pass Cultural Center. A riveting presentation by researcher and author Linda Masterson, “Surviving Wildfire: Get Prepared. Stay Alive. Rebuild Your Life” was enthusiastically received with gasps at the images of destroyed homes and heads

nodding in agreement at the call to be prepared.

Groups ranging from the Colorado State Forest Service, the Coalition for the Upper South Platte, Firewise Communities, Fire Adapted Communities, Pikes Peak Wildfire Preparedness Partners and others were on hand to share knowledge and effective strategies to mitigate wildfire risk in our area.

In addition, businesses involved in mitigation and insurance issues were there to lend their expertise.

Our firefighters from Northeast Teller County Fire Protection District, including those stationed in Woodland Park, Divide and Cripple Creek, mingled with the crowd to answer questions and even brought Smokey the Bear.

Although not many children attended, there was an interactive Kids Korner, which attracted parents, grandparents and teachers interested in the materials provided. It was fun to watch the adults who clamored to have their picture taken with Smokey.

This event was meant to be a call to action for a working day on May 3rd.

It is the hope that among the lessons learned is that we are all in this together.

A fire, caused by improper mitigation, does not know to hold back the embers that could ignite a neighbor’s house that has defensible space.

We have all chosen to live in this beautiful place and can also choose to live here wisely.

Foundation awards grant

By Sonja Oliver

Contributing writer Persistence and ongoing fundraising efforts by entities at the Lake George Charter School have paid off with the award of a $150,000 grant from the Colorado Health Foundation.

The CHF grant is the first of two grants that the school has applied for the construction of a projected $600,000 fitness trail, outdoor classroom and playground project.

The initial announcement was made to a crowd of 80 at the school’s Chili Supper fundraiser for the playground held on Feb. 22. A few days later on Feb. 24, students, staff and parents erupted into celebration when they were informed by Principal Bill Fredenberg at their Monday morning assembly.

Board member Reba Sonnier-Fertitta and Fredenberg were initially informed on Feb. 21 by Christine Fischer of Fischer Project Management and Consulting Services, that their grant application had been approved.

Lion’s Pride PTO President Cori Freed and fundraising coordinator said in an email she was overwhelmed by the news.

“My reaction to the first grant has been overwhelming. I am very excited that we were awarded the grant, and looking forward to the next step. I am thankful for all the folks who have dedicated hours of research and work to get this process going.

The children have already begun asking when the new playground is going to begin construction, so it’s a very exciting time for all,” Freed stated.

Fredenberg said that Re-2 school board members signed the documentation accepting the grant on Feb. 26 in Fairplay.

Colorado Health Foundation The Colorado Health Foundation’s (CHF) website states that the organization invests in grants and initiatives to encourage healthy living and to make Colorado “the healthiest state in the nation.”

Sonnier-Fertitta said the CHF grant provides the school with money to construct a

one-half mile, six-foot-wide crushed granite health and fitness trail to run along the perimeter of the 4.1 acre lot adjacent to the school and includes steps and rails on a path leading to the trail.

Along the trail will be five outdoor fitness stations and benches. In addition, there will be funds for safety fencing to surround the retention pond, rubber mulch to replace wood chips, a large outdoor play equipment (structure) for the kids, and a specific curriculum that goes with that equipment.

Sonnier-Fertitta said that since the school has received the CHF grant, they now have enough money in matching funds to apply to Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) in the amount of $340,000, the maximum allowable request. GOCO requires ten percent in matching funds in order to be eligible for the grant.

That grant request was turned in to GOCO by Fischer on Mar. 4 for the GOCO spring application cycle, Sonnier-Feritta stated in an email.

“We are very optimistic. Since we already have the matching funds, it looks like we have a good shot at it,” Fredenberg said, adding that they are in fierce competition with larger schools for the same grant monies.

According to Fredenberg, the school should hear whether they received the GOCO grant sometime in May. If they are awarded the grant during this cycle, construction could begin as early as June.

If the school doesn’t get the grant during this cycle, they will re-apply in the fall.

Fredenberg said construction won’t begin until the school has all of the money needed to complete the estimated $600,000 project.

GOCO grants are designated to use a portion of Colorado Lottery proceeds to preserve, protect and enhance the state’s wildlife, parks, rivers, trails and open spaces.

If the school does receive the GOCO grant, construction will include the replacement of outdated playground equipment that is not code-compliant, the

On Feb. 22 at a Chili Supper fundraiser, a crowd of 80 supporters from the Lake George area applaud at the news of the Lake George Charter School’s receipt of a $150,000 grant from the Colorado Health Foundation. Pictured are board member Reba Sonnier-Fertitta (l), Principal Bill Fredenberg, Lion’s Pride President Cori Freed and school board President John Rakowski. Photo by Sonja Oliver covering of the entire back play area with artificial turf that is eco-friendly, another outdoor play equipment structure, two outdoor classrooms - one for the regular classes and one for the special education department, a swing set for pre-kindergarden classes, rubber mulch, a play station, and the removal of large boulders from the playground.

In order to satisfy both grant requirements, the playground/fitness trail designs must focus on a public-use area for people living in the community or as a recreation site for visitors to the area, as well as being beneficial to the students of all learning levels.

Ongoing fundraising The Chili Supper held on Feb. 22 was a Lion’s Pride fundraiser as one of their ongoing efforts to raise funds for the muchneeded playground improvements.

Freed said the “Change Our Playground” fund currently has a balance of $8,819.27 in funds that have been raised over the past two years.

According to Lion’s Pride Treasurer Denise Kelly, over 80 people attended and the parent-teacher organization netted approximately $180. Kelly also said ongoing sales of chocolate candy bars has netted $1,050 although that amount has not yet been factored into the playground fund balance because that fundraiser is still ongoing.

Other Lion’s Pride fundraisers are in the works such as a Spring Craft Sale planned for Saturday, Apr. 19. Crafters and vendors are welcome and may contact the school at 719-748-3911 or Cori Freed at 719-6870178. Proceeds from the craft sale will go to the “Change Our Playground” fund.

Cripple Creek approves $47K agreement to begin project

By Sonja Oliver

Contributing writer Cripple Creek’s City Hall was packed full of business leaders, interested residents, contractors and city officials for a work session on Mar. 5 regarding the much-anticipated Bennett Ave. Improvement Project. Then, following the work session, the council reconvened at the city’s regularly scheduled council meeting and approved a $47,000 professional services agreement between the city and Kiewit Infrastructure Co. for the construction management portion of the project.

A selection team consisting of representatives from City of Cripple Creek staff, the project design team, and the general community of Cripple Creek assisted in recommendations regarding selection of the contractor for this phase of the project.

According to their website, Kiewit is “one of the largest employee-owned firms in the nation and is noted for broad-based ownership, with U.S., Canadian and Austra-

lian employee-shareholders.”

The website states that the company tackles building, mining, power, transportation, water/wastewater and oil, gas and chemical projects and, although they take on “billion-dollar mega-projects,” their organizational system of local operating districts enables (them) to also take on smaller contracts.

At the work session, Public Works Director Jim Blasing presented plans that had been fine-tuned and finalized for the project which will make improvements and enhancements to Bennett Ave., the city’s main thoroughfare.

The scope of the project for which Kiewit will be responsible for construction management includes overseeing the planning of the Bennett Ave. Project. That project will include the removing and widening portions of sidewalks between 5th and 2nd Streets, preserving existing

heated sidewalk sections, improving American Disability Act (ADA) accessibility, rebuilding a segment of a retaining wall, improving drainage, rehabilitating and protecting a historic viaduct (retaining) wall located in the center of Bennett Ave. between 3rd and 4rd Streets, purchasing and installing project amenities, milling and overlay of Bennett Ave. Additionally, the curve at 5th St. and Myers Ave. will be increased to better allow accommodation for large trucks.

Other council actions In other city business, the council voted to approve a professional services agreement for sewer repair/replacement services in the amount of $27,720 with Velocity Plant Services and heard an update on Cripple Creek and Victor Gold Mine operations as presented by Jane Mannon, Community Affairs Manager.

Fraudulent drug test bill fails in committee Republican-sponsored legislation would’ve fined those who cheat tests

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com A Senate committee on March 5 rejected a bill that sought to impose legal penalties in cases where employees try to cheat on company-mandated drug tests.

The Republican-sponsored effort had previously passed the House, but Democrats on the Senate’s State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee killed the legislation.

The committee chairman wondered how accusations involving a fake or diluted drug test would hold up in a court of law if there were no actual visual proof that the employee was trying to cheat by using a urine-cleansing device.

“Is it eye witness testimony that (determines that) this person used a Whizzinator or video proof that this person used a Whizzinator?” said Sen. Jesse Ulibarri, DCommerce City. “I don’t believe that government belongs in the bathroom or the bedroom.”

House Bill 1040 would have created a petty offense penalty for employees who attempt to defraud a drug test for occupations where the testing is required by law.

Police, corrections officers, and commercial vehicle drivers are a few of the professionals who would have been impacted by the bill. Under the bill, those who try to hide their drug use through fake or diluted urine samples would have been subjected to fines of up to $5,000, depending on how many times they tried to cheat.

The bill would not have applied in cases where business-mandated drug testing is not legally required.

Some who testified in opposition to the bill said the legislation is clearly aimed at targeting marijuana users, with one witness calling it “the marijuana testing bill.”

Sen. Mark Scheffel, R-Parker, acknowledged that Amendment 64’s legalization of recreational pot use has created a “vast unknown in a new permissiveness,” but said there needs to be some teeth in cases where employees knowingly attempt to defraud drug tests.

“As it stands now, other than (employee) dismissal, there is no penalty for what is described here,” Scheffel said.

The original version of the bill would have created new criminal misdemeanor drug offenses for those who cheat on drug tests, which could have resulted in jail time. However, prior to passing the House, the bill was amended to create only petty offenses that carry fines, rather than time behind bars.

Deputy Attorney General David Blake said the penalty would have been “a logical extension” of law that requires drug testing in certain professions. Blake also reminded those in the audience that employers are allowed to penalize workers for marijuana use, even though pot consumption is now legal.

But opponents of the effort said the bill is unfairly aimed at pot users. Terry Robnett, a medical marijuana patient and advocate, told the committee that because TCH metabolites are stored in fat cells, the drug leaves the body at a much slower rate than other substances. So, in many cases, marijuana will remain in a person’s blood 30 days after initial impairment.

“You can go out on a Friday night and paint the town red with meth or cocaine and come in Monday morning and test perfectly clean,” Robnett said. “But, with marijuana, you’re screwed.”

Denise Maes of the American Civil Liberties Union of Colorado wondered why the government should be involved in this process to begin with.

“There is a lot of discretion on the part of employer to fire at will,” she said. “It’s a matter left to the employer and employee.”

Ulibarri agreed, saying that the loss of income from being fired “is a significant penalty” and that the legislation attempts to “solve a problem that doesn’t exist.” The bill failed in the Democrat majority committee following a 3-2 party-line vote.

Tourism to fossil beds creates $3.3M in economic benefit Report shows visitor spending supports jobs in local economy Staff report A new National Park Service report shows that 62,637 visitors to Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument in 2012 spent $3.37 million in communities near the park.

That spending supported 47 jobs in the local area.

“Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument is proud to welcome visitors from across the country and around the world,” said Superintendent Michelle Wheatley.

“We are delighted to share the story of this place and the experiences it provides and to use the park as a way to introduce our visitors to this part of the country and all that it offers.”

Among the highlights of the report is that national-park tourism returns $10 for every $1 invested in the National Park Service. “We appreciate the partnership and

support from community members, local businesses, and neighbors and are glad to be able to give back by helping to sustain local communities,” Wheatley said.

In Woodland Park, the city’s sales tax revenue increased by 8 percent from 2012 to 2013. “It is evident that people are traveling through the area, staying at lodging establishments and eating in our restaurants,”

said Brian Fleer, executive director of the Woodland Park’s Office of Economic and Downtown Development.

The peer-reviewed visitor spending analysis was conducted by U.S. Geological Survey economists Catherine Cullinane, Thomas and Christopher Huber and Lynne Koontz for the National Park Service.

The report shows $14.7 billion of direct

spending by 283 million park visitors in communities within 60 miles of a national park. This spending supported 243,000 jobs nationally, with 201,000 jobs found in these gateway communities, and had a cumulative benefit to the U.S. economy of $26.75 billion.

Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell and NPS director Jonathan Jarvis released the report in a press conference call March 3.

In Colorado, 5,811,546 people visited the state’s national parks in 2012 and spent $347.4 million and supported 4,991 jobs in the state.

According to the report most spending by visitors supports jobs in restaurants, grocery and convenience stores (39 percent), hotels, motels and B&Bs (27 percent), and other amusement and recreation (20 percent).

If applicable, the owner pay fees for water plant investment fees, stormwater capital fees, park development fees and transportation capital fees.

4. The Planning Director, or designee, will review the application at the time of submittal for completeness and either accept the application or reject it and notify the applicant of the information required to make it complete.

5. The Planning Director, or designee will approve, approve with conditions or disapprove the application. Upon this decision, the 2 Planning Director, or designee, shall issue or deny the zoning development permit. An applicant whose application has been denied may re-apply or appeal the decision in accordance with Chapter 18.54.

6. A building permit and certificate of occupancy are required if structural alterations to any existing primary unit structure are necessary to create or add the accessory dwelling unit.

C. Annual Permit Renewal Required.

1. A zoning development permit is required to be renewed annually for as long as the owner plans to use the ADU. 2. To renew the permit, the applicant shall sign and submit the affidavit meeting the requirements contained in Subsection B.2. no later than February 1st of each year.

3. The Planning Director may revoke the permit if the property owner does not comply with other ordinances of the city which regulate property maintenance and nuisances and if: a. The ADU is substantially altered and is thus no longer in conformance with the plans approved by the Planning Director and the Building Department; or b. The property owner no longer owns the required number of off-street parking spaces; or c. The property owner ceases to own or reside in either the primary unit or the ADU. D. Standards. 1. Design and appearance standards. An ADU shall be designed to maintain the exterior architectural design, style, appearance and character of the single-family dwelling or garage in which the ADU is created or to which the ADU is added. If an ADU extends beyond the current footprint or existing height of the existing dwelling or garage, such an addition must be consistent with the existing façade, roof pitch, siding and windows. If an ADU is created by converting the upper level of an existing detached garage, the exterior architectural design, style, appearance and character of the garage shall be maintained.

2. Owner-occupancy requirement. At least one owner of the property must reside in the primary unit, as defined in Section 18.06.016, or the ADU. For purposes of this section owner means a person holding record title or a bona fide contract purchaser. No rooms in the owner’s unit may be rented. The ADU shall not be sold separately from sale of the entire property, including the primary unit, and shall not be sublet. The permit for an ADU runs with property owners, not the property. When ownership changes, the ADU shall be removed or the new owner must reapply. The property owner shall sign an affidavit before a notary public affirming that the owner complies with all of these requirements at the time of application for renewal of the permit.

3. Size. In no case shall an ADU be more than 40 percent of the single family dwelling primary unit’s total floor area, nor more than 800 square feet, nor less than 300 square feet, nor have more than two bedrooms. The Planning Department may grant minor variances to the size standards including bedroom number contained in this subsection D.3. where special circumstances of the primary unit exist.

4. Number of occupants. Occupancy shall be limited to the following: no more than four (4) persons in an ADU, whether or not related.

5. Parking requirement. In addition to two off-street parking spaces required for the single family dwelling primary unit, there shall be one (1) additional off-street parking space for every vehicle used by the occupants of the ADU. Useable garage space and carports may be counted for purposes of complying with these parking requirements. All off-street parking spaces shall be owned by the property owner and must comply with the City driveway standards. The property owner shall sign an affidavit before a notary public affirming that the owner complies with all of these requirements at the time of application for renewal of the permit.

6. Density controls. In the Urban Residential Zone District no more than ten percent (10%) of the properties within a 300 foot radius of the applicant’s property may have an accessory dwelling unit. In the Suburban Residential Zone District no more than ten percent (10%) of the properties within a 600 foot radius of the applicant’s property may have an accessory dwelling unit. In the Commercial Zone Districts no more than ten percent (10%) of the properties within a 300 foot radius of the applicant’s property may have an accessory dwelling unit. The radius measurement is taken from the center of the property or front door of the primary unit and includes rights-of-way widths. The Planning Director may grant variances of up to 20% of the radius measurement. In the Suburban Residential Zone Districts/Urban Residential Zone Districts, each existing legal nonconforming ADU within the 600/300 foot radius shall count as one ADU and each duplex within the 600/300 foot radius shall count as one ADU for purposes of this calculation. The property owner shall sign an affidavit before a notary public at the time of application for renewal of the permit acknowledging that in failing to annually renew the permit the owner may lose the right to use the ADU due to the effect of these density standards.

7. Maximum number of ADUs per lot. There shall be no more than one single-family residence with one ADU per lot. If the ADU or primary unit straddles a lot line then the property owner is required to vacate the straddled lot line and combine the lots into a single lot.

8. Home occupations. Home occupations may be allowed, subject to existing regulations contained in Section 18.33.150, in either the ADU or the single family dwelling primary unit, but not both.

9. Provision to encourage barrier-free ADUs. ADUs that accommodate people with disabilities are encouraged.

E. Legal nonconforming ADUs. Legal nonconforming ADUs are units that were in existence prior the adoption of this Ordinance.

Section 4. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect from after its publication as required by law.

Panthers hit the road to start the baseball season Woodland Park returns six starters from last year’s team that advanced to the postseason

By Danny Summers

Dsummers@coloradocommunity media.com Woodland Park’s start to the baseball season was interrupted by rain, snow and freezing temperatures on March 7. But the sun came out the following day and the Panthers responded by splitting a pair of games on the road.

Woodland Park pounded out 10 hits against Fort Morgan in a 7-4 victory in the morning. The Panthers never trailed; scoring two runs in each in the first two innings and three in the sixth to put the game on ice.

Woodland Park lost to Brush 14-7 in a late afternoon affair. The Panthers led 7-6 after five innings.

Kayden Osborn paced the offense against Fort Morgan with a two-run homer and a two-run single. Dakota Herman was 2 for 3 with a double and two RBIs. Herman also picked up the win on the mound, allowing three runs (two earned) on four hits over five innings. He struck out seven and walked three. Osborn picked up the save, striking out three in 1 2/3 innings.

Junior Nash Grayckowski had a good game at the plate against Brush; 2 for 4 with three RBIs. Sophomore Jason Kekich was 2 for 4 with a pair of runs.

Woodland Park returns the bulk of its team that finished 11-9 in 2013. The Panthers advanced to the postseason last year for the first time since 2007. Woodland Park has not won a league title since 1999. Cliff Richardson, left, is in his third season as head coach of the Woodland Park baseball team.

Dueling versions of a bill aimed at creating stiffer penalties for those who commit sex crimes on children were heard in legislative committee hearings last week, but only one survived.

The House State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee on March 3 gave unanimous approval to a Democrat-sponsored bill that would create a Colorado version of Jessica’s Law. The law is a national initiative that came as a result of the 2005 rape and murder of 9-year-old Jessica Lunsford of Florida.

The law would impose mandatory minimum sentences for sexual assaults on children.

House Bill 1260, sponsored by Rep. Mike Foote, D-Lafayette, creates a minimum sentencing structure of 10 years behind bars for crimes of sexual penetration of a child under the age of 12. The bill would also set a minimum sentence of 24 years for serious cases of sexual assault, and judges would be able impose life sentences, if they believe the punishment is warranted.

Meanwhile, a Republican effort to create a “Jessica’s Law” statute failed. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Libby Szabo, R-Arvada, would have created the identical version of Florida’s law, which imposes a 25-year minimum sentence for sexual assaults on children.

Foote, a Boulder County deputy district attorney, said Szabo lifted the Florida law “almost word for word.” He said her bill was “over-broad in its consequences” and would have been subjected to constitutional challenges.

Szabo’s bill failed in the same committee on a party-line vote. Foote’s bill now heads to the House Appropriations Committee, before it receives a full vote in the House.

regulatory reform bill dies

A Democrat majority House committee on March 5 killed Republican legislation that sought to ease penalties on small businesses that break new state rules.

House Bill 1033, sponsored by Rep. Libby Szabo, R-Arvada, would have allowed small businesses with 100 or fewer employees to receive warnings rather than fines when they commit first-time violations of state rules that are less than a year old.

The bill was backed by Republicans and several business groups. However, Democrats on the House State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee voted in unison against the bill. Szabo said Democrats got their marching orders from the AFL-CIO, the only group to testify against the bill during the committee hearing.

bill addresses statutes on sex crime-related offenses

A bill that does away with statute of limitations for crimes that accompany sex offenses is making its way through the Legislature with bipartisan support.

Right now, sex crimes that involve a DNA sample are not subject to statute of limitation guidelines, but crimes that often occur during the commission of a sex crime — such as burglary and kidnapping — do fall under statute of limitations laws.

Senate Bill 59 — sponsored by Sen. Lucia Guzman, D-Denver, and Rep. Polly Lawrence, R-Douglas County — would do away with those limitations, allowing courts to consider those crimes for sentencing purposes.

The bill sailed through the House on March 6, with only three Republicans voting no. The bill had previously passed the Senate.

The legislation now heads back to the Senate for consideration of the House amendments.

Local organizing committee springs into action for Pro Cycling Challenge Committee feverishly working to make Aug. 22 spectacular

By Danny Summers

Dsummers@coloradocommunitymedia. com This summer’s USA Pro Cycling Challenge will have a stage begin in Woodland Park. That means that a lot of planning and coordination will have to take place leading up to the Aug. 22 event.

As a result, a local organizing committee consisting of community leaders has been assembled.

“I believe we have put together a great group of community members to serve in supporting and coordinating `America’s Race’ while in Woodland Park,” said Mike Perini, the chairman of the local organizing committee.

The local organizing committee members are: Mark Rabaut and Laura Rabaut (operations/lodging meals); Locke Pierce and Paul Magnuson (technical); Sherri Albertson and Kellie Case (marketing/public relations); Renee Bunting (volunteers): Melinda Truscell and Brian Fleer (partnership); Lesley Ludwick and Robin Pasley (VIP/hospitality); Karen Casey-Svetich, Steve Jerman, Deborah Maresca and Paul Magnuson (education and community); Tamara Buttery (start festival/village); Cindy Keating (ancillary events); Terri Cain and Kathy Fleer (merchandise); Bob Larson and Jim Halloran (security/Woodland Park Police Department); Deb Miller and Sue Griswold

(Woodland Park Chamber of Commerce); Tyler Lambert and Eric Riggle (fire/emergency medical services).

Brian Fleer also serves as the co-director of the LOC. “We are thrilled that the USA Pro Challenge is coming back to Woodland Park in 2014 and that we have been selected as a host city venue,” said Woodland Park mayor Dave Turley. “I know how excited our community was in 2012 when we were selected as a sprint location.

“Being a host venue really is very special and we will be ready to showcase all who join us. It really is a strong indication of our passion for cycling, our beautiful location tucked next to Pikes Peak as well as the collaborative efforts and leadership we showed the cycling world last time around.”

The host cities play a key role in making the Pro Challenge a success.

“The host cities selected for the 2014 USA Pro Challenge will really highlight the majestic beauty of Colorado to our worldwide audience,” said Rick Schaden, owner of the USA Pro Challenge. “These cities are valued partners who help us continue to raise the bar for professional cycling in America.”

The host cities and stages of the 2014 USA Pro Challenge include: Stage 1: Monday, Aug. 18 - Aspen and Snowmass Village Circuit Race.

Stage 2: Tuesday, Aug. 19 - Aspen to Mt. Crested Butte.

Stage 3: Wednesday, Aug. 20 - Gunnison to Monarch Mountain (mountaintop finish).

The USA Pro Cycling Challenge is coming back to the Woodland Park this summer. The City will host a stage on Aug. 22.

Courtesy photo Stage 4: Thursday, Aug. 21 - Colorado Springs Circuit Race.

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

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