A man’s home is his castle Election

period ends on April 8

Woodland Park man builds his dreams

By Rob Carrigan

rcarrigan@coloradocommunitymedia.com Herman Beeh, of Woodland Park, always liked Gypsy wagons, he says. And as with so many things that he likes, he decided to go ahead build one. That is also how he got the full-size castle in his back yard. For that matter, the beautiful log cabin and garage appeared the same way, over the years.

His latest project, a replica of an Irish Gypsy wagon, was built over the last year, starting with nothing more than a photo that he pulled from the Internet.

Beeh did all the welding, and wood work, and most of the sheet metal work for the Gypsy wagon project, and even build the cast iron stove from scratch.

But Beeh is used to building his own stuff from scratch. He first began building his log cabin here in Woodland Park in 1975 from the foundation up, with the help of two high school kids. He finished that project in 1978, and later added the garage and started the castle in the back yard beginning in 2003. He finished the castle, complete with four-story, three-story and two-story turrets, wine cellar and medieval kitchen about a year ago. Thus, the Gypsy wagon emerged as the new project to concentrate on.

Beeh, a tool and die maker by trade, having worked for Hewlett Packard for more than 30 years, is able to build almost anything.

“When I told my wife I was going to build a castle, I think she thought it was going to be a smaller-scale version. I am from Europe and always wanted a castle.

Everyone should have their own castle.” he said.

Woodland Park voters have already received their mail-in ballots for the April 8 municipal elections. City Clerk Cindy Morse wished to remind voters that in order for their votes to count their ballots must arrive at City Hall by 7 p.m. on April 8. If they don’t want to mail them in, voters can always drop their ballots off at City Hall.

Voters will have two choices for mayor: Dave Turley has decided to run for the office again and City Councilmember Gary Brovetto has decided to run as a write-in candidate. He said he threw his hat into the ring to give voters a choice.

Three council seats are also up for election but there are also only three candidates running for the open seats. Ken Matthews and John Schafer have decided to run for their seats and Noel Sawyer will be running for the seat being vacated by Eric Smith.

Voters will also have an opportunity to approve or deny a change in the use of a 5.7 percent lodging tax that was approved in the 2002 municipal election. If approved the city would continue to use the funds for downtown streetscapes, landscapes and signage but expanded uses could include capital improvement projects for downtown as well as economic development projects that would promote the city.

It was pointed out on Feb. 20 when Woodland Park City Council approved the referred ballot measure that approving this measure will not add any new taxes and that local residents rarely pay lodging taxes.

WP planning commissioners looks at two transformations City starts Comprehensive Plan action-items update

By Norma Engelberg Contributing writer The Woodland Park Planning Commission made short work of the two items on its March 27 agenda.

erty. The upper level of the 3,187-squarefoot building would be used as a residence while the lower level will continue to be used as an office space at this time. The owners, however, asked that their request to allow the transformation to residential property cover both the building’s lower and upper levels so that the lower level can be turned into a residence at a later date.

The applicants stated in a letter to the city that the residential use of this property would help fill the city’s need for more rental units.

City Planning Director Sally Riley explained that with commercial property downstairs and residential upstairs, the

property would be considered a “classic mixed use” building but if both levels become residential it would just become apartments.

The planning commission recommended approval of the usage on condition that the owner process the change in use and evaluate the building’s septic system to determine if it can handle increases water usage.

An application by Arby’s for a conditional use permit to transform the former Tabeguache Steakhouse at 407 E. U.S. 24 into a fast food restaurant was tabled to the April 10 planning commission meeting to allow more time for the completion of a

Lake George welcomes new district wildlife manager

By Sonja Oliver

Contributing writer Colorado native, nature lover, hunter, fisherman and backpacker Ian Petkash is in his element as the region’s new District Wildlife Manager for Colorado Parks and Wildlife. Petkash was recently assigned as the wildlife officer for the Lake George district in Area 1, which is comprised of approximately 750 square miles of land in Park County.

The position became open upon the retirement of Lake George resident and Wildlife Officer Ron Zaccagnini who had been a part of the community’s fabric for many years.

“I am following the footsteps of someone who has been here a long time,” Petkash said of his predecessor.

“There’s a lot of people he needs to meet and I encourage everybody to take the initiative and to reach out and welcome him. And I believe he will be able to carry on the mission of Colorado Parks and Wildlife.” Zaccagnini said of Petkash.

Petkash is already becoming a familiar face in the community and has been seen at the Lake George Pizzeria and Cafe, the Post Office, Charter School, General Store and all parts in between.

“Everybody that I’ve met has been so nice and helpful. I’m looking forward to meeting those who I haven’t had a chance to cross paths with,” Petkash said of the community’s residents.

His assignment began in January following what he describes as a whirlwind of intense training over the period of one year and after a four-month hiring process.

During this past summer and finding time between his demanding training schedule, Petkash also married his wife, Maria. They both reside in the Lake George area.

“I have never had a year go by so fast,” Petkash said of the changes he has seen

During that year of preparation for becoming a wildlife officer, Petkash attended three months of law enforcement training where he was certified alongside nine other wildlife officers and 21 police officers. His training included the full complement of law enforcement tactics, including race and pursuit and learning to drive at 60 mph in reverse.

Furthering his training with Colorado Parks and Wildlife, Petkash was also provided broad-based training in areas covering survival tactics, orienteering, horse pack, snowmobiling, flight survey and classification, and animal tranquilizing to name a few.

Teller County Cat House

Needs You!

The long-anticipated expansion to the Teller County Regional Animal Shelter (TCRAS) is well underway. The project will double the size of the current cat room and add a quarantine room for the cats. The expansion also helps by:

• Increasing the number of cats that the shelter is able to care for.

Fewer cats will need to be turned away.

• There will also be the ability to accept additional cats during natural disasters (think Waldo Canyon fire).

• New office and general use space

GoAL $70,000 $63,000

Over ½ of the anticipated budget has been raised, but additional funds are still needed to outfit the cat room with larger more comfortable habitats, paint the exterior and add landscaping to make the shelter a great place to visit.

You can donate by mail, telephone or on our website.

Every donation helps us to reach the goal of $70,000 to complete this very necessary expansion to the shelter.

Your donations are tax deductible and very appreciated.

As a wildlife officer Petkash has the same arresting authority as any sheriff’s deputy, police officer, park ranger or state trooper. While conducting his duties, Petkash said he will work in close relationship and share information with the U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management and Colorado State Parks.

However, Petkash said his mandate is to oversee the protection of and laws pertaining to big game, small game, fish, and non-game species that are not hunted including raptors, amphibians and songbirds. His duties will also have him looking for invasive plant species, aquatic nuisances or insect infestations.

In order to qualify for the position, Pet-

kash said he underwent examination by an oral board, answering queries on how he would handle a conflict situation or conduct a presentation for a land developer. “(The diversity) is the most attractive part of the job,” Petkash’s said.

His responsibilities will range from teaching hunter safety courses and checking fishermen for their licenses to flying in an airplane and counting pronghorn on Bayou Salado or responding to a wounded wildlife call.

Bill would make one-year changes to teacher-evaluation process Measure’s opposition wants permanent modifications

By Vic Vela vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com School districts would have greater flexibility in deciding how much weight student academic performance would have in evaluating teachers under a bill that passed a Senate committee on March 26.

But Republicans who voted against the bill would rather let districts make that decision permanently, rather than the oneyear freedom that the bill allows.

Right now, school boards are required to establish a principal- and teacher-evaluation process that bases at least 5o percent of an educator’s annual evaluation on the academic growth of students’ standardized testing scores.

The weight of poor student performance can adversely impact educators facing evaluation, which critics of the current law say is unfair because districts may not have the resources to follow through with the requirements.

The current requirement is mandated through 2010’s Senate Bill 191, which set a standard for educator performance evaluations.

Senate Bill 165 would allow school districts to decide how much - if any - student test data will factor into an educator’s performance evaluation, for the 2014-15 school year.

“This is a good compromise between moving forward (with the desire for sound academic requirements) and also being fair to students and education professionals across the state,” Sen. Andy Kerr, DLakewood, a bill sponsor, told the Senate Education Committee.

Supporters of the legislation say that

districts are already having a difficult time shifting their focus toward new testing this year, without having to keep up with existing mandates. Schools are moving from Transitional Colorado Assessment Program (TCAP) testing to a new system that will incorporate tests from a multi-state consortium.

The bill gives districts time to analyze the new student assessments before they’re used to evaluate teachers and principals.

The 50 percent student test data threshold will still be used for the current school year, but in a “hold harmless” manner, meaning educators cannot be adversely affected at evaluation time.

The bill received supportive committee testimony from key education groups.

Jane Urschel, of the Colorado Association of School Boards, said the bill “provides considerable relief for teachers and administrators.” And Kerrie Dallman of the Colorado Education Association said the

bill gives districts “more time and training before high-stakes decisions are made about teachers.”

The bill has Republican sponsorship in the House with Rep. Carole Murray, of Castle Rock. But the vote in the Democrat majority Senate Education Committee fell on party lines.

Sen. Vicky Marble, R-Fort Collins, offered an unsuccessful amendment to the bill that would have allowed districts to decide the weight of student test data in educator evaluations on a permanent basis. Marble said that educators are buried in testing and evaluation mandates and that it’s unfair to ask districts to shoulder any more burdens.

“I cannot support this bill for a year, but I can support this bill in perpetuity,” she said.

The bill now heads for a vote in the full Senate.

WPHS art students represented in juried show at MAC

By Mary Menz For the Courier

Two WPHS students from Ms. Stacia Ray Adamson’s art classes are represented in the Manitou Art Center’s Wunderkind 2014 Annual Juried High School Exhibition. This exhibition opened with a reception March 21. In its 15th year, the exhibit runs through May 10 in the MAC’s Hagnauer Gallery.

Asking an artist to state in words how he

put down an animal. We want to give it the benefit of the doubt, ” Petkash said, saying also that action sometimes must be done to prevent the animal from suffering.

Petkash says he will be answering questions based on his daily observations such as relating to fly fishermen which hatch is out or informing hunters what type of game he has seen and where.

Originally from Lakewood, Colo. Petkash is a wildlife biology graduate from

creates art is like asking a writer to draw in pictures how they compose a novel. Jackson Youngman, WPHS junior, had a quick and thoughtful answer to the question, however, at the Artist’s Talk the second day of the show.

“I like to base my art off of things I see in nature,” said Youngman. “As a downhill biker, I like to take in what I see on my rides and put it down on paper.”

Also represented in the MAC show is

MacKenzie Burgess, with two works: “Freedom,” a work in ink of a crane in flight, and “In the Savanna,” a batik painting of a zebra on silk.

Youngman’s “Forest Ride,” a torn paper collage, depicts a mountain bike rider taking a spin on a treed trail, much like the trails Youngman rides in his spare time.

Youngman used old issues of National Geographic Magazine to create his color palette. Last month, Youngman’s “Forest

Ride” was awarded Second Prize in the 5th Congressional District’s High School Art Show. The Congressional Art Competition was created by Senator James Jeffors (Vermont) in 1982 while he was a member of the House of Representatives. Every year, congressional offices across the nation initiate the Congressional Art Competition in their own home districts. Colorado Representative Doug Lamborn presented Youngman with his award at that show.

Colorado State University Ft. Collins.

His previous work includes two major research studies with Colorado’s bighorn sheep, a boreal toad study at Rocky Mountain National Park, a wolverine study in the North Cascades of Washington and a brown bear study on Alaska’s Kodiak Island. “(The bear study) was one of the neatest experiences in my life. It was hair-raising to have a Kodiak sow bear with her two cubs charging at you. She broke off with a ‘bluff charge’ at the last minute but we were prepared to defend ourselves,” Petkash said.

For Petkash, the Lake George-based

district assignment was at the top of his request list; he grew up fishing and hunting in the area from a very young age.

“We are an outdoor family. I recreated in this district and my grandpa (who had a cabin in Woodland Park) taught me how to fish in the South Platte,” Petkash said, adding that he has backpacked extensively in the Lost Creek Wilderness area.

Petkash said he made the decision to become a wildlife professional when he was in the eighth grade and, while on his first deer hunt with his family, his license was checked by a game warden.

“It solidified my future. I knew what I wanted to do from there on out,” Petkash

said.

When he received his assignment Petkash said he made it a point to read up on the area.

“I read a book on the history of South Park called “Bayou Salado; The Story of South Park” by Virginia McConnell, and it whet my appetite about the mining and livestock industry and history and everything in between,” Petkash said.

Settling into the Lake George area and into his new position, Petkash said from this point forward he is focusing on “learning more about the community he serves and “helping to manage the wildlife resources of the area.”

Little Chapel pantry nears goal Officials from Care and Share cheer for the goal

By Pat Hill

phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com, As the fundraiser for Little Chapel Food Pantry nears the finish line, officials from Care and Share Food Bank of Southern Colorado paid a rah-rah visit to Divide.

The nonprofit organization provides 50 percent of the food distributed by the pantry, which is managed by Ken and Judi Hesselberg. “We came up to see the amazing work they do here,” said Lynne Telford, chief executive officer of Care and Share.

“It’s fun to hear about the capital campaign.”

There’s a catch to the fundraiser, however, as an anonymous donor has pledged to match the amount, but only if the pantry raises the $25,000. With just a few days left, Ken Hesselberg is optimistic. “We’re very close,” he said.

The food pantry is also a nonprofit organization that depends upon volunteers to distribute food baskets twice a month

outside, no matter what the weather.

If the campaign is successful, the Hesselbergs plan to break ground on a new building this spring, funded by the $50,000, plus $30,000 in reserve.

“Ken and Judi are great people doing a wonderful job,” said Wallie Dingwell, chief financial officer for Care and Share. “As a Teller County resident, it’s comforting to know that a neighbor in need has a wellrun facility like the Little Chapel Food Pantry to turn to for help.”

Care and Share provides food to organizations in 31 counties in southern Colorado. “We could not do what we do without our partner agencies,” said Jennifer Mariano, the nonprofit’s director of programs.

“We distribute 18.5 million pounds of food a year.”

In a race to the finish line March 31, Ed Lawrence at Wild Wings has jumped in with an offer to donate 10 percent of all ticket sales from 11 a.m. to 10 pm. March 29 to the campaign.

Donations to the food pantry are taxdeductible. Make checks payable to Little Chapel Food Pantry and mark “building fund” on the check. Send to 69 County Road 5, Divide CO 80814. Bottom of Form

April 2, 2014

opinions / yours and ours

The craft: passed from one generation to the next Fifty or sixty years ago, you could wander into a newspaper office and take up a craft that was pretty much same as it had been for 150 years.

Now, as noted in a recent CBS Sunday Morning story, there is really only one Saguache Crescent, run by Dean Coombs, last of the hot-type publishers.

“The press itself dates to about 1915 — about as long as the Coombs family has been publishing the Crescent, every week, since 1917. The same intricate choreography — perfected and passed on, one generation to the next,” according to CBS. “They hooked my baby carriage to the back of that press,” Coombs said. “The carriage would go back and forth,” rocking him to sleep.

“To put it another way, Benjamin Franklin or Mark Twain could walk into the Crescent office and go right to work.

The Linotype machine might be a novelty to Franklin (Twain lost heavily with an investment in a competing machine which, he claimed, “could do everything a human printer can do except get drunk on Saturday night,”) but the cases of hand-set type

would be familiar, as would the mutton quads, rules, dingbats, platen pins, chases, quoins, galley trays, and proof press,” wrote the late Ed Quillen, way back in 1995.

“I don’t actually think there might even be another newspaper in the world” using Linotype, Coombs said. “There are none on the United States.”

The Courier, which is a direct descendant of several papers from from Teller County, started by one Ernest Chapin Gard, who also founded The Palmer Lake Herald, and the Monument Register, as well as about 20 other papers around the country, 11 of them in Colorado.

Gold’s discovery in the Cripple Creek

District precipitated Gard and his partner’s race to become the first newspaper in Cripple Creek. He pulled out all the stops to beat William McRea by four days, publishing the first edition of the Cripple Creek Crusher on Dec. 4, 1891. Descendant of the Crusher and other consolidations, The Cripple Creek Gold Rush still published until 2007 when it became incorporated into Pikes Peak Courier View, of Woodland Park.

It is now simply the Pikes Peak Courier.

Gard, and partner W.S. Neal, celebrated the feat by printing in gilded ink — a layer of gold over the regular ink — for the inaugural edition. McRea, four days late and perhaps more than a dollar short, sported vermilion headlines that said “New Gold Field.”

To confuse matters a bit more, the Geddes family armed with a loan from the Golden Cycle Corporation, Kenneth and Margaret, bought the daily Times-Record of the district on April 1, 1941. Descendant of the Crusher and the product of consolidations of the Victor Record and the Cripple Creek Times, the Geddes closed on the deal, and then

had to turn around and get an eight-page paper out that afternoon.

“We went to the office the morning after we settled the deal and realized we have to fill up eight pages in time to distribute by 5 p.m.,” wrote Margaret Geddes in “Gold Camp Indian Summer.”

“We discovered how our lives would be changed on the first day. We met the force, which included a foreman, two Linotype operators, two men for general shop work — and then there was Freddie., who admitted he had a difficult time with second grade,” Geddes wrote.

“Freddie had a little boy, Eugene, who also had trouble with second grade. Eugene was bound to be musical, his daddy said, ‘since he was brought up around a piano.’”

My own history is reflected similarly.

Having grown up watching the hot-type Dolores Star being put to bed every week, I was bound to be inked-stained, as I was brought up around a Linotype. The craft, it seems, is passed on from one generation to the next.

ing together to make sure the experience leaves a lasting impression on the audience members.

My buddy Steve Dodd is coming in from Texas to play the role of Maximus this year. He will be the most blinged-out centurion of all. Leon Lowman is Steve’s right-hand man, and Greg Jones is the centurion with the coyote on his head.

I first became involved with The Thorn seven years ago. I always thought it might be cool to be a centurion. I also liked the idea of joining a group of guys who appeared to be having fun, yet serious about telling the Passion story in a deep and meaningful way.

As a “rookie” you are more of a support staff for the “veterans.” You do what they ask and have a servant’s heart.

This year I am especially blessed with

several key roles. After the “Heaven and Hell” opening scene (this scene includes the creation story, Adam and Eve, the fall of Lucifer, Moses and Pharaoh, the parting of the Red Sea, etc.) I charge the stage with my fellow centurions and ransack Jerusalem. I am the last centurion on stage and I get to (fake) kill a guy who is upset that his daughter was just (fake) killed by one of my fellow centurions. He charges me wanting revenge, but I quickly end his life.

After the “My Deliverer” scene comes “Miracles.” I am the dead girl’s dad. In other words, I approach Jesus with my dead daughter and my Roman wife and ask Jesus to heal her. When he does I am overjoyed and thank him. Of course, I will later be one of the centurions that arrest him.

The final act of the first part of the performance is “Triumphal Entry.” This is where Jesus enters Jerusalem. Joyful people are waving palms and cheering for him. The centurions walk through the audience and we work our way onto the stage. In this scene we almost arrest Jesus, but the Pharisees, led by Caiaphas, order us to hold off for the time being.

The whole mood of the play changes after intermission. After Judas agrees to betray Jesus, the centurions appear in the

“Garden Scene.” This is where we arrest Jesus. I am one of two lead centurions who carry a torch and lead our company away.

The play quickly shifts to the “Mob Scene” where the crowd is thirsty for blood. I, along with my son, Garrison, lead out Barabbas and show him to Jesus’ mother and to the crowd. Jesus is brought onto the other part of the stage by two more centurions. The crowd eventually asks for Pontius Pilate to release Barabbas; and so we do.

Next up is the “Whipping Scene.” This is where Jesus is given 40 lashes. I am on stage during this scene cheering for the whipper to all but kill Jesus.

Next up, “Road to Calvary.”

This is the most emotional part of the play. By now, most of the 4,000 people in the audience are crying. The centurions walk through the audience screaming at the top of their lungs while Jesus is carrying his cross.

I am on stage during this time, making sure the two thieves get nailed to their crosses and preparing for the upcoming crucifixion of Jesus. I then help secure Jesus’ cross into place, and then oversee

The Thorn and my role as a Roman centurion Each year during the Easter season, New Life Church hosts The Thorn.

The Thorn is a visually dynamic and heart-stirring theatrical portrayal of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The Thorn is not your average Passion play. This production is rated PG-13. And for good reason. The second half of the play is dominated by the Roman centurions who arrest Jesus, beat him, whip him and ultimately crucify him. There is hardly a dry eye in the house when he is being nailed to the cross at center stage.

I am one of those Roman centurions.

Though I have attended Woodmen Valley Chapel for 10 years, I am involved in The Thorn because I enjoy telling the Passion story. In my opinion - and from what I understand from doing research and talking to others - there is no better Passion production in the United States.

The show is an interactive play complete with martial arts, powerful music, live vocal performances, a narrator, pyrotechnics, burning torches, fake blood (that looks real), and of course real props. You would not want me to stab you with my sword or dagger.

The cast includes up to 500 actors, as well as dozens of stage crew and directors and behind the scenes folks, all work-

One big school district I told this story some years ago, but I often get asked about the school districts and what the numbers mean.

El Paso County, at one time, had one superintendent, and the county was divided into community districts. In the 1960s the County superintendent was eliminated.

The school districts go back to 1874, and that is the primary division of the schools I told about earlier. It seems that most of the county superintendent’s records before 1900 were destroyed in about 1907.

In 1907 there were 86 teachers in the smaller districts in the county, 63 of which were in one room schools. There were four primary districts; Colorado City, No. 1, Colorado Springs, 11, Fountain, 8, and Manitou, 12. All the others were secondary in size. One of the differences was that only these districts had a high school. The average salary for these teachers was $50 a month.

In 1910, the eastern portion of the county was granted permission to build a new high school at Calhan which was a Union High School serving all the rural communities east of Colorado Springs.

In 1903, there was a consolidation of the school districts around Fountain, eliminating many districts with only one school, a couple without any school!

Just after World War I the consolidation idea spread. District 40 and 23 combined

as did 22, 52 and 55. District 3 absorbed the one room schools for Tructon and Drennon at this time too. Districts 32 and 18 consolidated in 1918 and a new district was formed at Table Rock, near the Douglas County line. The consolidation of Falcon’s schools into District 49 saw District 4, 24 and 17 go away.

A later consolidation saw the schools around Monument, 5, 6, 10 and 19 including Table Rock, and later, Palmer Lake with others to make that all one district.

The consolidations saw a better tax base for the districts as the county’s population grew. In the years after World War II there were few consolidations, but development of better schools as standard requirements for schools and teachers were brought in.

As the number of stronger school boards and superintendents grew, the county superintendent was eliminated.

The idea of consolidating districts into one comes up now and then, but I doubt it will be done, ever.

Hope you are setting up straight when you read this For years, I was convinced my mother had eyes in the back of her head. I can still hear her voice admonishing me to, “Stand up straight,” as I trailed behind her as we headed into church or with her back to me as I headed out the door for school.

It turns out that she was giving me much better advice than I ever imagined.

The healthcare industry is confirming that mom’s advice was spot-on.

People with poor posture suffer from a multitude of health issues. According to a report in Health Radar, uncorrected poor posture … especially in combination with age-related conditions like osteoarthritis and osteoporosis … can result in kyphosis, which the Mayo Clinic defines as an exaggerated forward rounding of your upper back.

Some rounding of the upper back is normal and is desired to help dissipate the effects of gravity. Pronounced rounding, however, results in a forward-tilted head, downcast eyes, rounded shoulders, a hunched back and a shuffling and un-

steady gait.

An exaggerated kyphotic curve has been linked with degenerative disc disease, chronic neck, shoulder and back pain and chronic fatigue. It can also deepen depression.

A recent Prevention Magazine article reported that slouching can cause career problems with potential employers not viewing you as vital. In addition, kyphosis has been linked to constipation, impaired blood circulation and shallow breathing, which in turn strains the lungs and taxes the heart.

And the problem isn’t just with poor posture, while standing. It turns out that

slouching in a chair isn’t good for you either.

An Australian study found that after the age of 25, every hour spent slouched in front of a TV reduced the viewer’s life expectancy by 21.8 minutes. Another study in England linked slouching while seated with a two-fold increase in developing diabetes and a 147 percent increase in developing cardiovascular disease.

The American Chiropractic Association defines good posture as “the correct alignment of body parts supported by the right amount of muscle tension against gravity.”

The ACA goes on to say that appropriate strength and flexibility in the hamstrings and back muscles are critical to maintaining good posture.

Numerous factors contribute to poor posture including stress, pregnancy, weak or hypertonic postural muscles and highheeled shoes. An ergonomically poor work environment, incorrect working posture and unhealthy sitting and standing habits are also players.

To determine if you have bad posture,

Dr. Michael Gleiber, M.D., a Florida-based orthopedic spine surgeon suggest the following. Place a piece of masking tape vertically down the center of a full-length mirror.

Then place two pieces of tape horizontally across the mirror … one at shoulder height and the other at pelvic height. Next, center yourself in front of the mirror and take a look.

Are you centered? Does your head tilt?

Is one hip or one shoulder higher? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, your posture needs improvement.

Check with your chiropractor or family doctor for a referral to the appropriate professional to work with you on correcting you posture.

Don’t give up on high heels just yet High heels. They’re pretty right?

They make a woman look dainty.

But let no one fool you: They are torture devices.

One of the promises I made to myself was that before I turned 40, I would wear high heels more often. The result? Blisters.

Achy ankles. Sore feet.

Yet, I keep wearing them every single day. Not the same pair, mind you.

I have a brown pair that makes me about two inches taller. I have a shiny black pair that goes with everything. I have another black pair with cute buckles on them. I recently bought a pair of nude ones as well.

I have many different looks to choose from. But they all hurt my feet. Every.

Single. One. Why do we as women subject ourselves to this form of punishment? Just to look fancier? Sure. Cooler? Oh, yeah.

As comedian Billy Crystal portraying Fernando Lamas once said, “It’s better to look good than to feel good, dahling.”

I guess you could say I’m a big believer in that philosophy.

I get up every morning and pile on anti-aging products. That’s not painful, but it sure takes a long time.

When I was in my 20’s, I’d just roll out of bed and go to work. My skin had that youthful vigor, an elasticity that I crave now. In my 30’s — things changed. I be-

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor: We have been hearing for months about different elections coming up.

Well, not much has been said about the race for the Mayor of Divide. There is one candidate who is highly upset about this.

His name is Pa Kettle and he is running for the mayor of Divide. I’d like the readers of this fine paper to have a little history on Mr. Kettle. Voters, please keep in mind that Pa Kettle is the only candidate with a last name and can also produce a valid birth certificate. He is the candidate with the longest ears — even longer than candidate Herbie. He is the only candidate with a real job and is on call 24/7 with his team from Teller County Search and Rescue. He is young enough to do the job and because he’s a dog, he is able to get out and about in the County to represent his constituents — unlike his competitor,

Jesus eventually dies and we go back on stage to remove him from his cross and carry him away to the tomb. But, as you may already know, the story does not end there. Jesus eventually is resurrected and ascends into heaven.

Buster the cat. This finicky feline happens to hold the lead right now, but Pa Kettle is right on his heels (or paws as the case may be). Pa Kettle wants your votes.

All kidding aside, the Mayor of Divide election is a fundraiser for the Teller County Regional Animal Shelter, your local no-kill animal shelter. Voting can be done in person at TCRAS (right behind the Sheriff’s office in Divide), at city hall in Woodland Park or wherever you see a ballot box. Or to make things even easier, go on-line to www.tcrascolorado.com and vote for PA KETTLE. Voting takes place up until April 8th. Each vote is $1 and you can vote as often as you’d like. Spread the word to family and friends and ask them to support PA KETTLE and a great cause!

Sincerely, Janet Bennett, Campaign Manager

I hope to see you at the performance.

came a mom. I would still roll out of bed and go to work many times sans makeup.

Fine lines started appearing.

I began to buy anti-aging makeup. I began to use — gulp — Oil of Olay.

In my youth, Noxema was my skincare regimen. Now, I have like five products that I use. All of them are expensive.

Between my hours getting ready in front of my lighted mirror and my high heels, it’s a wonder I can even get to work.

I walk much slower in heels — my gait is a bit like C3PO — because I’m very clumsy and I fear I may trip.

My trek from the parking lot to the office feels like a journey through the wilderness, even though there are no trees in

my way. I feel like I show up to work with dirt on my face and a disheveled hairstyle.

Maybe even ripped slacks. But it’s all in my mind. In spite of all of this, I make it still wearing my shoes (nevermind blisters already forming on my feet).

Is this all worth it? This never-ending quest for perfection?

I say it is, because in the end, I do feel better about my appearance. I feel like I tried. And that makes me feel as good as I look. Even if I do get a wrinkle or two ...

Cripple Creek City Council approves signage variances to Wildwood Casino City to disburse $12,500 for community organizations

By Sonja Oliver

Contributing writer At their March 19 meeting, the Cripple Creek City Council approved two variances to the city’s sign ordinance, allowing applicant Wildwood Casino to erect a 106 sq. ft. free-standing monument sign where 16 square feet are allowed and to allow a 120 square feet electronic sign where ten square feet are allowed.

YESCO Electronics, a Colorado Springsbased signage company, gave a presentation regarding light output from electronic signs, seeking to dis-spell any negative considerations people might have about safety or over-abundance of light. The presentation cited higher resolution, lower light output and lower contrast as benefits to their product.

In discussion leading up to the council’s

vote, Historic Preservation Director Kathy Stockton told the council that at their Feb. 13, the city’s Historic Preservation Commission had voted to approve the variance for the free-standing sign but had voted 4-2 against the electronic sign. At that meeting, there were three residents who spoke out against the variance. Stockton reported that the city also received six letters of opposition and one neutral letter. In addition, a petition objecting to the signs was signed by city residents.

At the March 19 council meeting resident Susan Ward, who lives “right directly” across from the Wildwood Casino, said her residence was already “heavily impacted by (the casino’s) lights in the parking lot.”

Ward also cited safety issues because of the possibility of driver’s distractions from the sign’s location on the corner and the loss of the historic aspect of Cripple Creek.

“My biggest concern is historic. (The electronic sign) is not historic. If you want to lose the Historic Preservation aspect of Cripple Creek this is one, sure way to lose

Cripple Creek and Victor High School teacher and advisor Mike McDonald (r) and student participants in the Cripple Creek Pioneers in Public Service and Philanthropy program made recommendations approved by the Cripple Creek City Council for $12,500 in grants to benefit the community. The students made their recommendations for disbursement of Community Allocation Funds grant cycle at the Mar. 19 city council meeting. it,” Ward said.

Another resident, Steve Johnson, remarked on the possible trend toward “Blackhawk-like historic atrocities” referring to the more “Las Vegas-like” appearance that the casino sister city of Blackhawk now displays.

“We are invested with how we look and we don’t want to look like Blackhawk,” councilman Steve Zoellner said during council discussion.

Zoellner also said the people in his ward were not in favor of the electronic signage and that he would vote to reflect the wishes of “the people in my ward, the ward I represent.”

Councilman Chris Hazlett said he did not “see a safety issue” and commented that he was “glad (Wildwood Casino) are getting rid of the balloons and banners” and reducing the current “clutter” of signs that now exist on the property.

The city first approved a variance for an electronic sign in May, 2013 for a sign that was “not to exceed 100 square feet” at the Double Eagle Hotel and Casino.

According to Stockton’s staff report to the Planning Commission, it was stated that the (Double Eagle) approval was not “meant to set a precedent for future variance requests” and that “each request is to be considered on its’ own circumstances and situation.”

Also during discussion, Stockton informed the council that the location of the proposed variance for Wildwood’s sign is outside of the Bennett Avenue Historic District and that “some flexibility of strict historic guidelines could be allowed.”

The council, acting as the city’s Planning Commission, approved the variance voting 3-2 in favor of allowing the electronic signage variance. Then, bringing the ordinance variance forward as city council business, the ordinance passed with the same vote of 3-2 with Mayor Bruce Brown, Hazlett and Milford Ashworth voting in favor of the variance for the electronic sign and Terry Wahrer and Zoellner voting against the motion.

Cripple Creek to disburse $12,500 for community organizations In their second grant cycle for community allocations, the City of Cripple Creek council approved $12,500 in recommenda-

tions made by Cripple Creek-Victor High School students following a presentation at their Mar. 19 council meeting. The students participate in the Cripple Creek Pioneers in Public Service and Philanthropy program in conjunction with the city that allows participants to review and make recommendations for the disbursement of Community Allocation Funds.

Although the last item on the agenda, Mayor Bruce Brown said the students’ presentation was one of his was most favorite items to address when it comes to city business.

After reviewing grant applications and conducting interviews with applicants for the funds, teacher and advisor Michael McDonald said the student members made their decisions based on the needs of the organizations, benefit to the Cripple Creek community and availability of funds.

For this grant cycle, the amount the city has allocated in their budget line item under Community Allocation Funds to benefit the community is $12,500, which will be disbursed to the following organizations: CASA, $1,500 for Supervised Exchange and Parenting Time program; Choices, $1895 for STI testing and treatment; Community of Caring (Aspen Mine Center), $2055 for the emergency food pantry; Community Partnership, $1,250 for Cooking Matters nutrition classes; Cripple Creek-Victor Mountain Health Center, $2,000; for prescription medication pickup service; Teller County Victim Assistance program, $2,000 for child care for parents while at county courthouse; The Resource Exchange, $1,800 Toddler Playgroup.

Cripple Creek Rodeo coming June 13-15 Cripple Creek Rodeo organizing members were in attendance to present the city council with a certificate they received from the Colorado Professional Rodeo Association for the “Best New Rodeo of 2013.”

“It’s a pretty prestigious award. (The CPRA) are the premier sanctioning body in the state for professional rodeos.” City Manager Ray White said.

The Cripple Creek Rodeo, now in its’ third year, will be held on June 13, 14 and 15.

“To acknowledge us that early on is a feather in the cap,” White said of the award.

Lost city of Teller County: violence, fires and mines

By Ashleigh Hollowell Contributing writer

“It was a surprisingly rough and rugged miner town. When the Labor Wars of 1894 hit, the Union took over and residents of Altman couldn’t leave the town. They began killing each other. At one point violence was so common that an undertaker in the town offered to give group discount rates if killings were done on a Saturday.”

Trevor Phipps, Cripple Creek District Museum Assistant, explained.

In 1900, with a peak population of 2,000, Altman was named The Highest Incorporated Town in the World at an elevation of 10,500ft. Altman, which means ‘Wise Man’ in German, was named after Sam Altman who built the first stamp mill (a mill for crushing ore) in the area.

The infamous, violent mining town covered an entire hill top with various popular saloons, restaurants, and hotels. Ironically, the town’s most popular hotel, The Altman Hotel, brought Altman its final days when a human-caused fire began inside at approximately 2 am on May 24, 1903. “As the volunteer firemen found that their hose had been cut, the belief is generally held that the fire was of Incendiary origin. The Cripple Creek Fire Department responded to a call by telephone and the spread of the flames was finally checked by blowing up several buildings with dynamite. Among the buildings burned were several shaft houses,” an article from the Los Angeles Herald Volume XXX dated May 24, 1903, stated. Most of the town was completely incinerated. As a result of the fire, twenty five were injured, three were missing, and five were arrested in suspicion of causing the fire. Altman was never rebuilt and overtime became one of many ghost towns in the area. “There was too much damage to try and rebuild. They just let it go after the fire and residents moved to other nearby miner towns,” Phipps confirmed.

The location of the center of Altman was at 38ᵒ 44’10’’ N and 105ᵒ 08’02’’, but has been stripped away by the current Cripple Creek and Victor mining operation. Few

The American Eagle Mine that once dominated the town of Altman, Teller County, remains the highest mine in the area even today and is now a scenic, historical picnic spot for visitors. Photo by Ashleigh Hollowell structures remain due to the mining operation and the1903 fire, one of them being the American Eagle Mine, the mine that once dominated the town of Altman. The American Eagle Mine, the highest mine in the area even today, was purchased by Winfield Scott Stratton in 1895 and had the deepest shaft of over 1,540ft. It was officially shut down in 1940 and is now a scenic, historical picnic spot for visitors.

In addition to The American Eagle Mine, the mine’s original head-frame and hoist, a blacksmith shop, shifter’s office, and a few other miscellaneous buildings were also preserved.

Today, the Cripple Creek and Victor Mining Company has an ongoing project called The Altman Backfill Project. The operation consists of restoring the land once mined around the area. In 2012, the com-

pany won the Environmental Stewardship Pollution Protection award as well as the Excellence in Hard Rock Reclamation award. These awards were granted for the mine’s efforts with the Altman Backfill Reclamation project.

Recall elections bill passes Senate on party lines Republicans say measure tramples state constitution

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com A Democrat-sponsored bill that would re-shape how Colorado voters cast ballots in recall elections passed the state Senate on March 28, as Republicans cried foul.

The bill would allow people more time to vote and would provide more options for casting their ballots in recall elections — something that wasn’t possible during last fall’s historic legislative recalls, which resulted in the ousting of two Democratic Senate members.

But Republicans blasted the effort as an end-run around the state constitu-

tion that is clearly aimed at driving higher Democratic turnout in recall elections.

“Just because the constitution is an inconvenient truth, it’s still the truth,” said Senate Minority Leader Bill Cadman, R-Colorado Springs, in a Senate debate that preceded the vote.

Democrats say the idea behind Senate Bill 158 is to sync modern election code with outdated election language in the state constitution — which was written more than a century prior to last year’s recalls.

The Colorado Constitution states that a candidate has up to 15 days prior to Election Day to submit enough signatures to appear on a recall ballot.

The Democrat-sponsored bill would require candidates to submit signatures 15 days prior to when ballots are made available to voters, which

occurs long before the actual day of the election.

The changes would give county clerks more time to process mail ballots, something that didn’t happen during last year’s recalls — where Democratic Sens.

John Morse of Colorado Springs and Angela Giron of Pueblo lost their seats in elections that were spurred by their votes on gun-control legislation.

The elections were preceded by court battles that culminated with a Denver District Court judge ruling that the mailing of ballots could not be possible in those recalls.

Sen. Matt Jones, DLouisville, a bill sponsor, said that resulted in “terrible” voter turnout last year. Jones said that about 36 percent of eligible voters showed up to vote in Giron’s recall election, while only 21 percent of voters

cast ballots in the Morse contest.

Jones said that the lack of a mail ballot option particularly harmed military voters, the elderly and persons with disabilities, because they had a more difficult time getting to the polls on a single Election Day. “Nobody benefits from chaos, especially the voters,” Jones said. “This aligns the constitution in such a way so that people who want to vote can vote.”

Jones also cited bill support from the nonpartisan County Clerk’s Association.

Sen. Pat Steadman, DDenver, also a bill sponsor, said the bill “modernizes” recall elections in a way that Colorado voters have become accustomed to, through the current general election process.

“This is just taking the experience from last year

and making our laws more understandable for everyone involved,” Steadman said.

But Republicans blasted the bill for “running roughshod over the constitution.” They argued that the language in the constitution clearly defines that Election Day means just that — and not the weekslong early voting process that Democrats say it is.

“We’re redefining Election Day here and I don’t think that is something we can do,” said Sen. Scott Renfroe, R-Greeley. “That is

t e l l e r

unconstitutional.”

The bill now heads to the House after it passed the Senate following an 18-17 party-line vote. The result did not sit well with Republican Sen. Ted Harvey of Highlands Ranch.

“The Democrats lost multiple court battles to stop the recalls, they then lost two Senators to recall elections, so today they are attempting to amend the constitution without a vote of the people,” Harvey said.

“Their disrespect of the voters of Colorado knows no bounds.”

Student returns from scholarship to space camp For the Courier Cripple Creek Victor student Jessica Seney of Divide is one of 304 student from 38 countries who won a Honeywell scholarship to space camp in Huntsville, AL. Jessica’s scholarship at the U.S.Space & Rocket Center ran from March 1-7 and the attached photos show her doing space activities at the camp.

Honeywell (NYSE: HON) announced that 304 students from 38 countries and 33 U.S. states and territories attended the Honeywell Leadership Challenge Academy (HLCA) this year. The unique leadership program runs over two consecutive weeklong programs from February 21 to March 7, 2014 at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center (USSRC) in Huntsville, Alabama.

HLCA uses interactive technology, science-oriented workshops and team exercises to teach children of Honeywell employees between the ages of 16-18 leadership skills in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Activities are delivered in fun and innovative ways that bring STEM studies to life. The program is designed to build students’ leadership skills and develop their capacities through hands on challenges.

During the program, the students meet scientists, engineers and former astronauts who reinforce core leadership competencies and share their first-hand professional experiences. Students engage in team-building challenges such as designing, building and testing their own rockets; participating in simulated astronaut training, shuttle missions and a moon walk; and conducting DNA extraction experiments on fruit.

“Our goal is to continue to develop a new generation of leaders, engineers, and scientists who can address the challenges of tomorrow,” said Tom Buckmaster, President, Honeywell Hometown Solutions, the company’s global corporate citizenship

Be sure to mark your calendars for our regular meetings on the third Tuesday of every month. The changes aging individuals experience are not necessarily harmful. With age, hair thins and turns gray; skin thins, becomes less elastic, and sags. However there are some simple tricks that we can do to help us counteract the aging process. Join Adriana Wichman to learn how foods, skin and hair products play a role in how we can age gracefully.

Not only was it a source of drugs and health-related items, the American drugstore was also a meeting spot, a lunch place and a community social center. As the population grew in the Ute Pass region, people needed medical preparations that a drugstore or general store could provide. In Green Mountain Falls, the Williams Drugstore was a gathering place for tourists and locals alike. The Harkins store was an integral part of the community in Divide, even serving as a cream station for local dairy farmers. Local residents in Woodland Park recall drugstore proprietors like Jack Embree and the Bonfields, who were respected friends and neighbors. These stories, vintage photographs and medical artifacts will be on exhibit through May in the Pikes Peak Regional Hospital lobby. Contact the Ute Pass Historical Society at 719-686-7512 or email at uphs@peakinter.net.

Artists should have plenty to draw upon as the 2014 Pro Challenge route guides the world’s elite cyclists through some of the most picturesque settings in the country.

“We’re looking for something that captures the unique landscape of Colorado Springs, as well as the extreme physical and mental fortitude required for success in the USA Pro Challenge,” said Peter Scoville, Colorado Springs LOC co-Chair.

“There have been some phenomenal artwork submissions through the poster contest in previous years and we expect to see some incredible submissions again this year. This contest gives fans and artists an opportunity to get involved in the premier professional cycling race in the U.S.” Mike Perini, the co-chair of the Woodland Park LOC, is hoping that the artists can take advantage of the breathtaking landscape of the beautiful Teller County town.

GALLERY OF GAMES

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Depending on a promise made becoming a promise kept could be more than a mite unwise at this time. It’s best to proceed on your own rather than wait for aid that might never arrive.

LEO (Jul 23 to aug 22) a recently revitalized relationship might not be quite what the Big Cat expected. But give yourself more time to deal with the changes. a little flexibility can go a long way. Good luck.

VIRGO (aug 23 to Sept 22) a major change could prompt more adjustments. Some of them might be difficult to deal with at first. But hang in there, and before you know it, you’ll be coasting to your next goal.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Your sense of justice prompts you to speak out against an unfair situation, even if you seem to be the only one who feels that way. But you soon learn that many others agree with you.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Creating a fuss is not usually your style. But that doesn’t mean you should tolerate an ill-mannered attitude. Speak up for yourself, and you’ll earn the respect of others.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) You might have a few loose ends to tie up before you can stamp your project as complete. But once that’s done, you might want to celebrate with someone special in your life.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Disappointment darkens the Goat’s mood. But close friends rally to pull you through with words of encouragement. Use their confidence in you to rebuild your own self-esteem.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) an upcoming decision might be more difficult with inaccurate information. Best to recheck the data you have at hand right now to be sure it won’t mislead you later.

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) an offer you previously turned down might no longer be available. But if you do some checking around, you could find something else that would suit you just fine.

As wildfire season approaches, several Colorado state lawmakers are pushing the state to secure its own aerial firefighting fleet. Republican State Sen. Steve King, Senate President Morgan Carroll and Senate Minority leader Bill Cadman are behind SB 14-164, a bipartisan effort that would give Colorado its own firefighting fleet. King and others hosted an open house on Wednesday, March 26 at Centennial Airport that featured a live water drop demonstration of the Martin Marietta C-130 Hercules Next Generation Airtanker, built

by Coulson Aviation USA. Last year, SB 13-245 created the Colorado Firefighting Air Corps, but the state has no such aircraft. Should the new bill pass, it would permit the state, for the 2014 fire season, to purchase, lease or contract for the use of up to three firefighting helicopters. For the 2015 fire season and beyond, the state could use up to four large aircraft from the federal government or other sources.
