Ceremony pays tribute to Colorado’s fallen

By Pat Hill

phill@ourcoloradonews.com In a time when most people are celebrating summer, Teller County residents paid tribute to the 96 members of Colorado’s military who have died in the wars on terror. In a ceremony June 30 that highlighted the cost of war and those who pay the ultimate price, the traveling memorial, “Remember Our Fallen — Colorado,” reflected the theme.

“We want to recognize the Gold Star Families,” said Woodland Park Mayor Dave Turley, referring to survivors of those who gave their lives in military service.

To date, 6,693 members of the American military have died as a result of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, most of them having signed on after Sept. 11, 2001, said Brig.

Gen. Dana Capozzelli, commander of the Colorado National Guard and a Woodland Park resident. “We are still at war, in Afghanistan and other parts of the world, so let’s take a moment of silence to pray for them and their families.”

Less than 1 percent of American citizens serve in the military, Capozzella said. “It is up to us to ensure that our heroes, our loved ones, are remembered, that their stories are shared so that our country will never forget their sacrifice in ensuring that the other 99 percent are safe and free.”

This war on terror is different from past wars, said Norm Steen, retired brigadier general and Teller County commissioner.

“We have sent our young men and women into battlefields to preserve not just our country but our very lives,” Steen said.

“There are people out there who want to destroy our way of life. I’m glad there are still patriots alive who carry on the fight.”

Chuck Gardner, commander of the American Legion Post #1980, read a passage from a celebration that took place at the Vietnam Memorial. “Because of your service and your sacrifice we remain at lib-

Scout leader, Ferguson considered service to his community a high calling, said city manager David Buttery.

As the day was set aside to memorialize the fallen, Turley recalled the death of the Boy Scouts Nick Naples, Alex Ragan and Paul Kekich, along with their leader Richy Kleiner, who were killed in a car accident June 30, 2012.

Contributing to the patriotic and somber occasion was vocalist Mia Troxell, 13, who sang “The Star Spangled Banner” and “Amazing Grace.” Her father, Brian Troxell, pastor of Church of the Nazarene, gave the invocation.

In addition to the city of Woodland Park and the American Legion, VFW posts 5061 and 11411 in Woodland Park and Lake George took part in the ceremony.

In today’s world of organized retail crime, the cops in Woodland Park are arresting a multitude of Walmart shoplifters.

“We’re not dealing with `little Johnny’ stealing a candy bar anymore,” said Detective Sgt. Tom Kinney.

As the largest store in town with plenty of inventory Walmart is the prime target of organized shoplifters, with 26 reported cases in 2012 and 60 so far through June.

But the police are gaining on the criminals, figuring out all the tricks. “You see a lot of other crimes; they’re using stolen vehicles while they execute the thefts,” Kinney said.

Police Chief Bob Larson added, “A lot of the stolen vehicles are not high-value cars.”

Some steal license plates and do a switch while some arrive with a shopping list and rely on their accomplices to keep an eagle eye out for receipts dropped by paying customers.

“They’ll steal the exact items from the shelves, bring the receipt they found to customer service and ask for cash back,” Kinney said.

Sometimes thieves will take the goods to a “fence” in a kind of auction. “They’ll take bids on items such as laptops, or iPads to see how much they can get,” Larson said.

“There’s quite a bit of that sort of thing where groups of people are independent but have cooperative working relationships with other criminals.”

While the getaway car is still used during theft executions, today’s crooks use cell phones. “They’ll alert the driver of the car which door they’re coming out and the person will be right there,” Kinney said.

“They’re usually in groups, with one acting as a distractor because they know people are watching.”

Apparently some criminals haven’t gotten the word yet about what’s going on in Woodland Park. “We’re arresting suspects from Denver, Pueblo and Fairplay, for instance,” Kinney said.

To share information with other lawenforcement agencies as well as the retail segment, the department meets monthly with the Colorado Retail Crime Alliance to discuss shoplifting cases.

But the police credit Walmart manager William White and his staff for the increase in theft reports. “We have a good working relationship with Walmart and if it weren’t for that bond we probably wouldn’t have 60 arrests,” said Deputy Chief John Gomes.

“A lot of these arrests are done off warrants because we can get positive ID’s with the advances in technology that we didn’t have 10 years ago.”

Along with the change in technology, Walmart is adapting to the times. “They are more sophisticated in their loss prevention and have doubled their staff,” Larson said.

As well, the officers are encouraged by the recent change in state laws. Today, criminals who steal at least $2,000 worth of items in multiple thefts within six months can be charged with a felony.

At the same time, law enforcement takes a dim view of thieves. “Now we’re looking at whether the person is a member of our community, has a criminal history and a record of multiple thefts,” Kinney said. “If so, we’re more than likely going to take that person to the Teller County jail.”

As shoplifting becomes a multi-billion business in the United States, stealing by children is no longer the order of the day.

“In the past 20 years the drug culture has evolved,” Gomes said. “We have more people dependent upon illegal substances and they have to fund their addiction somehow.”

Westbound Highway 24 closed for about 90 minutes on July 1 Flash-flooding in the Manitou Springs area intensified by Waldo Canyon burn scar More than a half inch of rain fell in 20 minutes on July 1 near Manitou Springs, causing the closure of the west bound lane of Highway 24 near Manitou Springs, as well as the destruction of other property in the area.

Mud flowed into 20 homes, and 11 vehi-

cles were damaged in Manitou Springs and the west side. More than 160 people were also briefly evacuated from a low-lying trailer park in the area.

Manitou Springs police Chief Joe Ribeiro said at least three homes were total losses.

The flash flood was intensified by black mud and debris that found its way down the mountain near the burn scar left by the massive 2012 Waldo Canyon Fire.

Within 25 minutes of the rain fall, Manitou Springs issued a Reverse 911 call notify-

ing folks in the area of flooding near Highway 24 and Manitou Ave. National Weather Service meteorologist John Kalina said the damage could have been much worse if the storm had settled over the area.

Westbound Highway 24 was closed from 31st St. in Colorado Springs to Fountain Avenue in Cascade for about 90 minutes.

It reopened at 7:15 p.m. after Colorado Department of Transportation workers used snow plows to remove the mud and debris

as rush hour traffic backed up in both directions.

In June, the U.S. Agriculture Department said it was sending nearly $20 million to repair watersheds and mitigate flood potential in both the Waldo Canyon and High Park Fire burn areas. Work includes mulching, re-seeding and shoring up water channels.

Kalina warned that more flash-flooding could occur in the area as we approach the monsoon season in July and August.

SWAT demonstrations and training July 20-21 Teller County Sheriff’s Office and the Honorary Deputy Sheriff’s Association host the 3rd annual SWAT tactical demonstration and public-training event from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. July 20-21. The two-day event is a fundraiser for the Teller County Emergency Response Team to buy equipment and attend training classes.

“Due to the nature of extremely vi-

olent criminals who carry assault-type weapons today it’s necessary that ERTs have the skills to protect citizens and enforce laws,” said Commander Les Lewis, in a press release.

Participants are asked to bring a handgun and 150 rounds each day. For a one-day session, the cost is $175 and $300 for two days.

The Honorary Deputy Sheriff’s As-

sociation was started in January 2011 and consists of business people who want to make a difference in the community by supporting those who serve through the Sheriff’s Office with augmentation, public education and fundraising responsibilities.

1 Fires’ link to beetles not cut-and-dried

irec-

mentConventional wisdom comes on to under scrutiny poHigh

By Kevin Vaughan and Burt Hubbard ulchI-News at Rocky Mountain PBS han-

Colorado’s 4.3 million acres of beetleding decimated forests represent a catastrophe h the in the making during another devastating wildfire season.

Or do they?

That is the conventional wisdom as another summer unfolds with destructive blazes that have left skies along the Front Range choked with smoke, but the reality is not so simple.

“The issue is not will beetle-kill forests burn — they certainly will,” said Monica Turner, a University of Wisconsin professor who has done extensive research of wildfires in the West. “The question is, are they burning worse — more severely — than if the forest was green?”

And the answer to that question is a matter of ongoing scientific debate, wrapped in factors that include the amount of time that has passed since the beetles did their damage, the number of trees that survived the infestation, other species of plants in the area and weather patterns.

“This is a field of study that we just don’t have all the answers for,” said Matt Jolly, a researcher at the Missoula Fire Sciences Laboratory in Montana whose work has looked extensively at the way plants burn in wildfires.

Millions of acres affected

Anyone who has spent any time in the Colorado high country has seen the damage done by mountain pine beetles — vast swaths of formerly green forested hills painted red, or gray, by dying and dead trees.

The most recent count by the Colorado State Forest Service showed 3.35 million acres affected by the mountain pine beetle and 924,000 acres attacked by a different bug, the spruce beetle.

An I-News examination of state maps found that hundreds of thousands of those acres are in the so-called “red zones” — the

high-fire danger areas primarily along Colorado’s Front Range and up the Interstate 70 corridor. State officials use a number of factors to determine what constitutes a red zone, including development (primarily homes), the type of vegetation in the area and the slope of the land.

So as the West Fork Complex fires continue to burn in the beetle-damaged forests of southwest Colorado, and as the state reels from blazes like the ones that destroyed 511 homes in the Black Forest, it’s tempting to look at all the dying, dead and decaying trees attacked by beetles and conclude that massive wildfires pose a real threat to all affected areas sooner or later.

Not so fast, according to some of those who have dedicated years to studying the ways that trees and other vegetation burn in wildfires.

Man has changed forests

Today’s forests are vastly different than those of previous centuries. A century of aggressive firefighting efforts have left many areas overgrown and choked with downed and dead trees. Added to that, development has left many forested areas peppered with homes, and parts of the West are experiencing prolonged, even historic drought. So the propensity for big, destructive fires is a near constant. Those conditions fuel blazes known as “crown fires,” which burn through the tops of the trees as if they were torches, spreading rapidly and generating tremendous heat.

Those massive, fast-moving fires — like the Black Forest blaze last month north of Colorado Springs, where some beetle-kill trees were present — make for mesmerizing television and are the subject of extensive research.

Turner and researcher Jesse Logan, a former U.S. Forest Service scientist and college professor, are among those who believe that beetle-kill forests go through a predictable cycle — one in which they are at times much less volatile than green forests. It starts with a beetle infestation, and it will take three or four years for the bugs to inflict all the damage they will on a section of forest. The trees in that stage turn red — and there’s little dispute those needles are

While the thieves vary in gender, age and ethnicity, one commonality is drugs, Larson added. “Sometimes we’ll find a small amount of meth or heroin,” he said.

highly combustible. But over the next couple years, the needles fall to the ground and begin to decompose.

“The overall trend would be that immediately after trees are killed and they still have all those fine fuels, needles in particular, on the tree, then it’s highly flammable, probably more flammable than a green forest,” Logan said. “But after those needles fall and that can be, like in lodgepole, a couple years after the tree is killed, then the standing forest is actually less likely to lead to a crown fire than a green forest.”

The reason? Green needles contain oils that are highly flammable.

But that strange juxtaposition — that green, seemingly healthy forests might burn with more fury than dead ones — is difficult for many people to comprehend.

“I think that one of the reasons that this seems counter-intuitive to people in terms of its effect on fire is that when we burn a fire in our fireplace, we put dead logs in there — we don’t put green branches,” Turner said.

“But in a forest fire it’s those green needles that are extremely flammable, and that’s what gives you the amounts of fuel up in the canopy in the forest and its conductivity.”

One of the difficulties in getting answers is that it has been difficult to build realistic fire models to examine the effect of beetlekill trees. At the same time, studies that have looked at actual fires in beetle-kill areas are still in the review process, and the results have not been made public.

their needles. His research has shown that dead, red needles burn faster and hotter than green ones — but that’s only part of the reason for being circumspect.

“It’s just not that simple,” he said. “A standing gray tree, particularly one like a spruce … will have a lot of really, really fine dead branches. It may not have needles, but it will have those fine branches that will also burn and support a crown fire.”

In addition, even areas with heavy beetle-kill have some trees that survive, and many have other kinds of trees mixed in among those that die.

And then there’s another huge factor: the combination of weather and climate.

Logan pointed to the massive Yellowstone fires of 1988, which took down every kind of forest — beetle-kill and green alike.

“It all burned, just because conditions were so volatile,” he said. “In any situation, what’s driving it is fuel — you’ve got to have fuel. And the fuel can be green, red, gray, or gray on the ground, and if the weather conditions are right, and you get a lightning strike or some idiot with a match, it’s going to go. And if the weather conditions are like they’ve been in Colorado these past few years, or like they were in ‘88, it’s going to go big, regardless of what anybody can do.

“As humans, we have this idea that we can control nature, and we often can — we turn on the air conditioner and things like that. But these are forces of nature you’re not going to control.”

Gomes credits the size of the department as well as the cooperation among the retailers for the increase in shoplifting arrests. “It doesn’t mean that crimes aren’t occurring in El Paso County or other counties but they have higher crimes to prioritize while we still can focus on shoplifting,” Gomes said.

Greenhouse thrives on brain power

By Pat Hill

phill@ourcoloradonews.com In the gardener’s constant battle to outwit Mother Nature in Teller County, or at least come to terms with what Lee Willoughby calls “climate chaos,” the winner is one who adapts rather than surrenders.

“It’s not just the drought but the uneven temperatures,” said Lee Willoughby, project coordinator for The Harvest Center greenhouse at Aspen Valley Ranch.

With warm temperatures in April and weekly blizzards in May, gardening these days seems like a quest for power. Willoughby, however, comes armed with tricks such as soaker hoses, drip irrigation and mulch.

Recently, Willoughby raised the ante on working in conjunction with the drought, which, to lesser gardeners, threatens the entire season. However, by studying the ins and outs of plants, he’s generating a thriving garden.

“Plants are sort of like people; they’re mostly made out of water,” Willoughby said, adding that plants receive moisture through the roots. “When that process is interrupted it makes the plant more vulnerable to insect damage, disease and, in the extreme, of dying.”

As the drought impedes the growth cycle of plants and flowers, things go haywire in other areas. “You don’t see as many bees if there aren’t as many flowers,” Willoughby said.

While Teller County is not in dire straits yet, Willoughby offers advice, courtesy of the Harvest Center. “This year we are encouraging people to pay attention to the watering process,” he said.

For openers, Willoughby advises watering plants and flowers by hand, letting the water soak into the ground. “The worst thing you can do is have a hose and spray all the plants; it’s not good for water conservation and getting the plants wet like that tends to encourage disease,” he said.

In a drought, fertilizing is a no-no.

“When you don’t depend on Mother Nature for most of the water, the last thing you want to do is encourage growth,” he said.

“Just leave it alone as far as fertilizer goes.”

In a drought, weeds are the bad guys.

“Weeds compete for water,” Willoughby said.

In somewhat wishful thinking, Willoughby recalls weather patterns of days gone by. “There’s something magic about rainfall,” he said. “When it rains a nice slow gentle rain, things seem to pop up.”

As the drought takes a stranglehold, Colorado State University extension office assumes a prominent role, particularly as an alert system for the next three months.

“We’ve got a double whammy hitting us, high temperatures and low precipitation,” said Mark Platten, CSU Extension’s local director. “That combination is just a killer for

Platten is not encouraged by the colorcoded drought map of the west where brown, which denotes severe conditions, is gaining on Teller County. “With the high temperatures we’re getting we may be in the brown in the next few weeks,” he said.

“The southern half of Teller is in extreme drought.”

As conditions worsen, the extension office hosts Master Gardener workshops for area homeowners.

With the lack of rainfall, the city of Woodland Park has initiated water restrictions, which, in turn, generate grumblings.

But the Harvest Center looks on the bright side. “Restrictions force us to do things we’ve put off; in our case, drip irrigation,” Willoughby said. “As you get to understand what’s behind the policy, we’re primarily talking about convincing people not to use the overhead spray or sprinkle at the wrong times because some of it isn’t even hitting the ground, it’s going up in the air.”

In the eyes of an optimist, restrictions increase brain power. “It’s made us be a little more inventive,” Willoughby said.

phill@ourcoloradonews.com After a campaign to raise money for Welcome Home, Warrior, Doloretta Barber helped the organization raise more than $3,000.

Barber led the yellow-ribbon campaign, which sought $1 per ribbon. In a ribbon-tying ceremony hosted by the city of Woodland Park June 30, Barber and a team of volunteers tied a string of ribbons, 8,465 of them, on the large tree in Lions Park.

To help Barber achieve her goal of $8,465, donors may send checks to Welcome Home, Warrioer, PO Box 7217, Woodland Park, CO 80863.

Ghosts of populations past in Teller County Among the first things a modern-day visitor notices when they first drop down into the bowl that is Cripple Creek, is the ghost, or “presence” of populations past.

It is a similar feeling in nearby Victor.

At one time, about 1900, Cripple Creek was the fourth largest city in Colorado, and boasted a population of 25,000 people, along with a fair amount of dogs, and donkeys. Today’s population figures put it closer to 1,200.

The mining district at the time, of course, also counted the camps of Cameron, Altman, Independence, Elkton, Anaconda, Midway and Gillett. Most estimates put the district at a population of nearly 50,000 at the height of the boom.

Victor had a population of nearly 12,000 residents itself in 1900 according to the census. Today roughly 400 people live in Victor.

Goldfield, at the time, claimed 3,500 residents, and Altman and Midway com-

bined added another 1,500. Independence counted 1,500 for its own. Anaconda, weighed in with 1,000, Gillett and Cameron each put forth 1,000. Even Beaver Park, (or Love, as it was also known), contributed 75 to the count in 1900. Elkton, which included Arequa and Eclipse tossed in another 2,500.

Of course, there was also the lumber town and health resort of Woodland Park.

When it was incorporated on Jan. 26, 1891, 38 votes were cast in favor of incorporation and 14 voted against. The “City Above the Clouds,” Woodland Park has grown some, tipping the scales recently at 7,200 residents.

Between Divide and Woodland Park, the

settlement of Edlow had its own rail depot, school, and 10-room hotel. Estimates by the Ute Pass Historical Society a few years ago had nearly 2,000 residents living between Green Mountain Falls and Divide at the 1900-year-mark.

Divide, itself was a stage stop, and a tent city for rail workers, as branch lines from the gold district joined the mainline of the Colorado Midland there. Florissant, had nearly 300 residents in in 1890s, but boomed as well by the turn of the century as it became a pathway into the camps.

Today, Teller County’s population is estimated at about 24,000 residents. Just a little shy of Cripple Creek by itself, at the height of the boom around 1900.

Thirdhand smoke damages DNA It’s a no-brainer that smoking cigarettes is a killer and hardly news that secondhand smoke is bad for you. But here’s a new shocker – thirdhand smoke damages the DNA of human cells and exposure to it, especially for children, may be more injurious than smoking.

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, thirdhand smoke is the smoke left behind where people have previously smoked. It can be found in vehicles, furniture, carpets, curtains, walls, elevators and the hair and clothing of smokers or that of those who have been around a smoker.

Long after the smoker and secondhand smoke have disappeared, this toxic brew of gases and particles clings to the surroundings. A New York Times article lists the chemicals found in thirdhand smoke as hydrogen cyanide, which is used in chemical weapons; butane; toluene, which is in paint thinners; lead; carbon monoxide; and polonium-210, a highly radioactive carcinogen. Nice.

It turns out that the burning of tobacco releases nicotine in the form of a vapor that absorbs onto indoor surfaces that can linger for days, weeks and in some cases months. Scientists have known for years that tobacco smoke sticks to surfaces, where it can react with other chemicals.

However, a new study published June 13th in the journal Mutagenesis and reported in LiveScience shows that the residual nicotine found in smoke reacts with molecules in the air forming a compound called tobacco-specific nitrosamine or TSNA. The researchers contend that this residue significantly damages DNA in human cells.

In the study, scientists put paper strips in smoking chambers where some of the samples were left for only 20 minutes, after which the tobacco residue was measured.

The researchers called this “acute exposure.”

Other paper strips were left in the chamber for 200 days, which was ventilated so it would be exposed to chemicals

normally found in the air. Researchers labeled this “chronic exposure.”

Human cells were then exposed to the extracted chemicals from both samples with surprising results. The chronic samples had a higher concentration of thirdhand smoke residue than the acute samples and also caused higher levels of DNA damage.

“The cumulative effect of thirdhand smoke is quite significant,” said researcher Lara Gundel, of Lawrence Berkley National Laboratory in California. “The findings suggest the materials could be getting more toxic with time.”

One important characteristic of thirdhand smoke is that its residue can interact with other compounds in the air, such as ozone, and produce new toxins, the researchers said. And, it is difficult to say when it is safe to enter a place where a smoker has formerly lived as the emission seems to continue for a long time.

Cleaning a car or a home or even painting the walls doesn’t solve the problem.

Rally calls for immigration reform Activists lean on GOP to back bill that passed Senate

By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com A group of immigration activists rallied in Denver on July 2 to call on Colorado’s Republican U.S. representatives to support an immigration-reform bill that recently passed the Senate.

“We are calling on our Republican congressional delegation leaders to step up, to exercise leadership, to show bipartisan willingness, to follow the will of the people of Colorado,” said Julien Ross of the Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition, during a rally that was held outside of Denver’s Republican Party headquarters.

The group waved Americans flags and held signs that signaled its desire for immigration reform at the federal level. Immigration reform is high on President Obama’s second-term priority list, but it’s an effort that faces an unknown future in the Republican-controlled House.

The bill — which passed the Democratic-controlled Senate by a 68-32 vote on June 27 — overhauls immigration laws by allowing a pathway to citizenship for about 11 million undocumented workers. It also puts provisions in place that strengthen border

security.

Many House Republicans have expressed concern over security issues in the bill, and some party members are opposed to a bill that they believe grants amnesty for those living here illegally.

House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, has said through national media outlets that he will not bring the bill up for a vote if the majority Republicans in his caucus do not support it.

The purpose of the Denver rally, which was organized by Coloradans for Citizenship Now, was to put pressure on Colorado’s four House Republicans — Reps. Mike Coffman, Doug Lamborn, Cory Gardner and Scott Tipton — to support the Senate bill.

Through a statement issued after the rally, Democratic Rep. Ed Perlmutter joined rally organizers in calling on House Republicans to pass immigration reform, saying that by allowing undocumented persons a pathway to citizenship it would “lead to increased job growth and a stronger economy.”

“I hope House Republican leadership will work with Democrats in a bipartisan way to protect our borders and ensure those who are working hard, paying taxes, getting an education, learning English and not committing crimes are able to achievecoun their American Dream as a citizen of our C Rally continues on Page 7cern enou Coffm when tion enfo prom Woodland Park district forester, Bonnie “I Sumner and Scott Lord, who are responthat sible for having their subdivisions declared to no “Firewise Communities.” that With the catastrophic fire season underthe s way in the Pikes Peak Region, agency repC resentatives as well as the Firewise volunnot w teers shared information about resources, the s including Coalition for the Upper South Platte.

Love planted here sprouts in Africa On an unseasonably cold April day three years ago, snow broke from the sky and chilled business for a Castle Rock garage sale. But high school student Hanna Tenerowicz and her friends in the French Honor Society slapped high fives in jubilation.

They had raised $150, enough to pay for two Congolese girls to stay in school another year and lessen their risk of being married at 13 or 14 in exchange for money to feed their families.

“They were just so excited that we raised enough to sponsor a girl,” said Anne Damanti, Hanna’s French teacher at Castle View High School.

But Hanna, 19, a wisp of a young woman who just completed her freshman year at Wellesley College near Boston, wants to do more.

Two weeks ago she left for the Democratic Republic of Congo to document the lives of schoolgirls, bring back their hopes and ideas for community transformation, and establish connections to help those dreams come true.

“Gender equality makes a difference,” Hanna, whose soft voice conveys conviction with quiet, deep passion, said before leaving. “It’s a domino effect on all kinds of things.”

The story of how this came to be — that a girl so shy Anne often couldn’t hear her speak in class has grown into a young woman daring to change lives — converges on a shared connection to the French language and a motivation to help.

It is a story of compassion, determination and, quite simply, courage. Because it takes bravery to stretch beyond the familiar, to push cultural boundaries, to try to make a difference in a world so big and complicated we sometimes wonder whether what we do matters.

Finally, perhaps most importantly, it is a story of empowerment.

And it begins with Sandra Bea, who emigrated to Colorado in 2001 from the French-speaking D.R. Congo to continue her studies in education. A French teacher, she graduated from Metropolitan State

University of Denver and today is dean of students at Global Village Academy, a language immersion school in Denver.

The daughter of an engineer of a local mining company in Mbuji-Mayi, the country’s third largest city, Sandra grew up without worries: “I was eating three times a day; I went to school with a car. I grew up really easily. It was not hard like the other girls are facing right now. We never had any conversation about `You are going to get married in two days because we don’t have the money.’”

It wasn’t until she was 22 and student teaching in her former high school that she understood the reality. Every two weeks, it seemed, another student would leave.

They were, she learned, getting married.

“Why?” she asked.

“Because, Madam, we are not like you,” they told her. “You can afford it. We cannot afford it.”

“That,” Sandra said, “broke my heart.”

So, four years ago, she founded the nonprofit Muanjadi Organization, a women’s empowerment project that helps girls complete their high school education and avoid early arranged marriages.

“For many parents in the Congo, marrying off their daughters constitutes a source of revenue in a country where people live with less than $1 a day with a GDP per capita of $300,” Sandra writes on the organization’s website.

Through fundraising and donations, the organization — whose name means Brave Woman — provides tuition and supplies for girls in seventh through 12th grades at the same school Sandra attended.

Cost for one girl for one year of high school: $75.

Cost for one year of college: $350.

Anne, originally from Belgium, met Sandra and learned about Muanjadi at a state world language conference three years ago.

She brought the idea back to her French Honor Society, which was looking for a community service project.

Students learned how most girls eat just one meal a day and how the school has no water or electricity. They compared the cost of one year of high school to what teens here might spend on fancy jeans or a Starbucks coffee habit. “That’s not a lot to have the freedom to actually go to school and try to be something,” Anne said.

That, Hanna said, coupled with the specter of forced marriage, “was a pretty powerful thing to learn about.”

Last school year, Muanjadi sponsored 100 girls, 11 of them thanks to Castle View.

The honor society, which has corresponded with the girls through letters, phone and Skype, also is sponsoring a student in college — one of the girls it began sponsoring in high school three years ago. Other organization sponsors include Kent Denver Academy, Metro State, Colorado State University, a lawyers’ organization and many individuals and families.

But Hanna hopes to take the program one step further.

Her new project is Portrait of a Brave Woman.

Accompanied by Sandra, she has spent the past two weeks interviewing — in French — and filming girls at the school about their lives, but also about their ideas to implement change in their communities.

She plans to share the mini-documentaries with artists who will be encouraged to create paintings about a particular girl whose story connects with them. Proceeds from the sale of those paintings will go toward the girls’ personal and community goals, such as becoming a nurse or training midwives to decrease the high infant mortality rate.

The objectives are several: to empower

Congolese girls, improve their communities and create meaningful cross-cultural connections with Western artists and buyers.

“I hope community improvement brought about by women’s ideas will help to create more positive and respectful attitudes towards women in Mbuji-Mayi,” Hanna, also an artist, said. And “I hope the project empowers the girls themselves by helping them to personally make a difference.”

Her dream is unquestionably big.

But, Anne said, “There is nothing, anymore, that she can’t do.”

Hanna’s visit, Sandra said, is the concrete realization of what dreams and hard work can accomplish. And having someone their age talk to them and share ideas with them is inspirational: “You don’t know me, but you came to give me a chance to become someone.”

Which is exactly what Hanna wanted to do after reading “Half the Sky,” a book about the oppression of women and girls in the developing world.

“It really changed my outlook on the world,” she said. “I was really interested in doing whatever I could to make a difference.”

Hanna returns this week with her videos and interviews and dream.

“I’m definitely prepared for this to change my life,” she said before leaving.

Without a doubt, it will. But, in a school half a world away, girls are surely changed, too, because a stranger from a different life cared enough to learn about theirs.

That’s empowerment. The kind that makes a difference.

June 29, 1923 - November 19, 2012

country,” Perlmutter said.

Colorado House Republicans are concerned that the Senate bill doesn’t go far enough in strengthening border security.

Coffman said in a statement that in 1986, when Congress passed a major immigration reform bill, the promises made “on enforcement and border security were not promises kept.”

“I will look for solutions in the House that will provide for the reforms necessary to not only secure our borders but to verify that they remain secure,” Coffman said in the statement.

Coffman spokesman Dustin Zvonek did not wish to comment beyond what was in the statement.

Rally speakers brought up Coffman’s upcoming re-election race, a contest that surely will receive national attention.

“Latinos came out in record numbers in the last election,” said Olivia Mendoza of the Colorado Latino Forum. “This is just the beginning.”

Ezequiel Ramirez, 19, of Highlands Ranch, voted for the first time last year, and is one of Coffman’s constituents. Though he was born in the U.S., his parents were not.

“The message we want to get across is that this is potentially going to help out a lot of people,” Ramirez said. “It’s going to help us become a better country. There’s a lot of people counting on (Coffman) and it’s really important for him to put his vote into this.

Asked by reporters how he’d characterize Coffman’s re-election chances if he does not support the bill, Ramirez said, “Best of luck.”

Elizabeth Anne Lackman passed away peacefully on November 19, 2012, surrounded by her daughters, son-in-law, and friends. She was 89 years old.

Elizabeth was born in Fort Worth, Texas, on June 29, 1923.

She graduated from high school in Marshall, Texas, and attended business school there. She moved to Houston, Texas, where she became an executive secretary. She married Hugo Lackman in Houston on August 1, 1943, shortly before he deployed with the US Army to the Philippine Islands as a member of the 749th Transportation Battalion. Hugo and Elizabeth lived for many years in Longview, Texas, where they raised their family.

In 1988, following Hugo’s retirement from the Union Pacific Railway, they moved to their summer home in Cripple Creek.

They lived there while building their retirement home in Woodland Park, where they moved in 1990.

Elizabeth was a gregarious, curious person who loved to learn. She was drawn particularly to science, history, and art. While in Longview, she volunteered for many years at Good Shepherd Hospital in the emergency department. She also was very active in St. Michael and All Angels’ Episcopal Church, also located in Longview.

While in Cripple Creek, she served as a volunteer at the Cripple Creek District Museum and at the nursing home that once existed in a historic hospital building there. In Woodland Park, she belonged to and volunteered for Ute Pass Historical Society, Mountain Artists, and Ute Pass Symphony Guild. She loved to read aloud and for several years volunteered at Summit Elementary School in Divide to read stories to the children and help them with their reading.

She also volunteered for many

years at the Woodland Park Senior Citizens Club. With her husband, Elizabeth was active in the Pueblo Locomotive and Rail Historical Society, which became the Pueblo Railway Foundation.

Elizabeth was a member of both St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Cripple Creek and St. David of the Hills Episcopal Church in Woodland Park. She was very active at St. Andrew’s, where she held various positions on the vestry, and in the Episcopal Church Women organization, as part of which she served at the diocesan level.

Elizabeth’s family and friends knew that she loved to cook.

Her menus and delicious meals became part of her persona. She collected hundreds of cookbooks, showcasing cuisines from all parts of the world.

Elizabeth is survived by two daughters, both of Woodland Park: Mary Gillaspy and Sherri (Tom) Cheatham; a daughterin-law, Barbara Lackman, of Montrose; three grandchildren, Janet (David) Colson of Garden City, Kansas, Daniel Gillaspy of Lawrence, Kansas, and Erik Lackman of Montrose; three great-grandchildren, Cameo and Rosemary Colson and Annabel Gillaspy. Preceding her in death were her beloved husband of 66 years, Hugo Lackman (2009); her son, William Watson Lackman (2011); and her son-in-law, Jefferson Gillaspy (1992).

A memorial service and celebration of Elizabeth’s life will be held at St. Andrew’s on Saturday, August 3, 2013. Her remains will be inurned with her husband’s in the columbarium on the church’s grounds.

The family requests no flowers.

Instead, memorials in Elizabeth’s memory can be made to St. Joseph’s Indian School, P.O. Box 100, Chamberlain, South Dakota, or to either of the churches of which she was a member.

Public invited to envision Memorial Park

By Pat Hill

phill@ourcoloradonews.com Two public meetings this month launch the visioning exercise for the redevelopment of Memorial Park. With its view of Pikes Peak, the signature pond and urban location, the park is a vital piece of the city’s landscape.

In April, the city awarded a $24,320 contract to Land Patterns, Inc. to design the plan. “We envisioned the project in a community-driven process,” said David Morrison who, with Bryan Kniep and David Mijares, leads the public process July 17 and 24. “We want stakeholder involvement to make sure the community feels engaged and invested in the outcome of the master plan.”

The project springs from the city’s comprehensive plan which identified the redevelopment as the number priority for the parks and recreation department directed

by Cindy Keating.

“We want to have ideas flowing about how people use as well as perceive the park and how it all meshes together,” Morrison said.

A visioning exercise is a chance for the citizens to put voice to their dreams of how the park could enhance the community.

“Our design will be based on their input,” Morrison said. “Everybody’s going to have a different dream or idea and we cherish that, look forward to all the input we can get.”

While most cities have memorial parks, the visioning is designed to identify unique characteristics of the one in Woodland Park.

As well, the exercise is expected to identify the park user and to spotlight the amenities.

“Are the amenities sacred, should always stay there?” Morrison said. “Or are there amenities that don’t belong, don’t function well?”

Among the issues that may come up are parking, the desire for festivals and a place reserved for open space, Kniep said. “While we’re going through this, we’re also doing sight analysis, looking at viewsheds, doing an inventory of the trees and identifying the park’s features.”

After two public sessions, the landscape architecture and planning firm retreats to the drawing board. “We’ll take all the de-

To begin the public process, the company, along with the city, hosts two public meetings this month, July 17 and July 24. The final plan depends upon the public’s input.

sign ideas back to the office, filter through the information and see a theme start to evolve,” Morrison said.

The public is once again invited back in August to refine the preliminary plan, an

exercise followed by approval by the city’s parks and recreation advisory board. Ultimately, the Woodland Park City Council will approve the final plan. “If we need to, we will do the redevelopment in phases,” Ke-

ating said. “Grants are getting tougher and tougher to get.”

The public sessions are from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. July 17 and from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

July 24 at the Ute Pass Cultural Center.

Programs offered at Mueller State Park The following programs are offered at Mueller State Park. All offered programs are free, but you must have a $7 daily parks pass or a $70 annual pass on your vehicle to enter the park.

kImpostors posing as county employees Special to The Tribune

The El Paso County Assessor’s Office is warning residents that it has received a number of reports that residents in the Black Forest

fire area have been contacted by impostors who claim to represent the El Paso County Assessor’s Office.

Residents should not provide information to these individuals.

“My appraisers were out there the last two weeks doing property inspections. We finished up last Friday and won’t be out there again soon except to respond to a request from a property owner,”

Mark Lowderman, El Paso County Assesssor, said.

Employees of the County Assessor’s Office have county identification and business cards and drive official vehicles marked with

the words Assessor’s Department on the doors. The El Paso County Attorney’s Office warns that impersonating a public official to gather information for personal benefit is a felony.

Family looks for justice Fossil beds receives America’s Best Idea grant for Dylan Redwine Sheriff ’s office has not named any suspects, active investigation

By Lisa Collacott

lcollacottourcoloradonews.com

The bracelets read “Hope for Dylan Redwine” and for seven months his family and friends held on to hope that he would come home.

On June 27 the family was notified that the teen had been found but it wasn’t the ending they were hoping for. After investigators conducted a search of Middle Mountain Road near Vallecito Lake the La Plata County Sheriff’s Office received news back from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation that human remains found during that search were that of Dylan.

Now instead of searching for him investigators are now focusing on what happened to him.

“We have no new breaks in the case. We have not labeled anyone as a suspect,” Dan Bender, public information officer for the La Plata County Sheriff’s Office, said.

Dylan Redwine went missing Nov. 19, the day after arriving in Vallecito to spend Thanksgiving with his father during a court ordered visit. Dylan was 13-years-old at the time and was an eighth grader at LewisPalmer Middle School. Dylan and his mom had moved to the Monument area from andBayfield a few months before. Dylan’s father, Mark Redwine, said he left his home 0 toto run errands that morning and when he p.m.returned Dylan was gone.

During an interview with The Tribune in February Elaine Redwine, Dylan’s mom, said she had “hope that Dylan will come home safe.” Her thoughts were consumed with bringing Dylan home safe and wondering what happened to him. Elaine Redwine had to eventual return to her job but made the six hour drive to Durango every weekend to search for her son.

The search of Middle Mountain Road

JULY 11

was not based on any recent tips or new information.

“The search of Middle Mountain Road was one of a series of searches since the snow melted. It’s an area we have searched in the past and we always intended to go back there,” Bender said.

The La Plata County Sheriff’s Office along with several other agencies had been searching the area around Vallecito Lake since Dylan disappeared and had to wait for the snow to melt to go back into some areas.

According to the Durango Herald Mark Redwine met with investigators and was taken up to Middle Mountain Road where Dylan’s remains were found.

“It was horrific. It was unimaginable. No parent should go up there in a situation like this,” Mark Redwine told the reporter.

In that February interview with The Tribune Elaine Redwine said she believed that her ex-husband knew more than he was telling. The two appeared together on the Dr. Phil show in February and accused each other of having something to do with Dylan’s disappearance.

Since it is an ongoing investigation the La Plata County Sheriff’s Office won’t release any more details in the case.

Now that the search is over the family will now concentrate on bringing whoever is responsible to justice.

In a separate interview with the Durango Herald, Dylan’s older brother Cory Redwine said, “It’s sad to hear he’s no longer with us, but it’s better than not knowing, wondering every single second of every single day. It’s nice to have closure. We found Dylan. That doesn’t really mean all that much if we can’t find justice and bring peace for him.”

The Tribune attempted to contact Elaine Redwine for this story but did not hear back by the time of deadline.

A candlelight vigil took place on July 27 in Bayfield. Hundreds turned out for the memorial.

No word on whether or not there will be one held in Monument.

Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument is one of 34 national parks selected to receive a 2013 America’s Best Idea grant from the National Park Foundation, the official charity of America’s national parks.

Inspired by the critically-acclaimed Ken Burns’ documentary “The National Parks: America’s Best Idea” the program funds parks’ activities designed to connect diverse, underserved and under-engaged populations throughout the United States with their national parks in innovative and meaningful ways.

“One of the great things about our national parks is that every American can relate to these treasured places if given the

chance to experience them,” said Jonathan Jarvis, director of the National Park Service, in a press release. “It’s our mission to engage visitors from all backgrounds in the diverse stories that we tell in our national parks.”

Florissant Fossil Beds will use the grant money to fund its Post to Parks, an awardwinning outreach program designed to help connect the military community with the national parks.

The park in Florissant will conduct three programs this summer: a military teen youth mentoring program, a military teen photojournalism camp and a camping trip for military families.

Butte features Singin’ in the Rain Thin Air Theatre Company presents “Singin’ in the Rain,” at the Butte Theatre in Cripple Creek.

The play offers a lighthearted depiction of Hollywood, with the stars portraying performers caught up in the transition from silent films to “talkies.”

The show stars Mel Moser, Rebecca Myers and Kevin Pierce.

“Singin’ in the Rain,” runs from July 5 through Aug. 31 and rotates with “Girl of the Golden West.”

Thomas subject of forthcoming biography Former Ark building may become hockey sports camp

By Pat Hill

phill@ourcoloradonews.com From an empty building with a sad story to a future as a hockey sports camp for youth, the site of the former Children’s Ark, and later Axios, is expected to rise from the ashes courtesy of Tim Thomas.

Professional hockey player and former goalie for the Boston Bruins, Thomas recently purchased the building in unincorporated El Paso County, across U.S. 24 from Green Mountain Falls.

Founder of hockey camps for children across the nation, Thomas and his family recently moved to the area and his presence is generating buzz about the camps.

Another new resident of the area with his wife Sandi, Guy Scholz, is writing a biography of Thomas whom he met in July 2011.

As their relationship developed, Scholz agreed to tell Thomas’s story, giving up his position as the manager of a curling club in Michigan to be close to his subject.

“It’s a little bit of a risk but his story is the kind of stuff I’m looking for,” Scholz said.

“I’ve kind of fallen in love with the story.

Goalies are often quirky people and I’ve always been intrigued by that. They’re also very smart.”

Scholz himself is part of the buzz around Green Mountain Falls. Ordained minister and writer who specializes in the psychology of athletes, Scholz wrote the Canadian best seller, “Gold on Ice: The Story of the Sandra Schmirler Curling Team,” which tells the story of the first Canadian team to

Tim Thomas, former goalie for the Boston Bruins, has purchased the building that formerly housed the Children’s Ark and, for the past couple of years, Axios. Thomas is expected to open another outlet in the building for a hockey camp for children. Photos by Pat Hill win the Gold Medal in the 1998 Olympics.

“They were the first women’s team that competed against men and won more

Swipe

games than they lost,” said Scholz, who is a native of Saskatchewan, Canada. “It’s the number one curling book of all time, which is kind of cool.”

His second book, “Between the Sheets: Creating Curling Champions,” Scholz coauthored with Cheryl Bernard.

Energized by his latest subject, Scholz zeroes in on Thomas’s distinctions. “He plays an unorthodox style of goalie,” he said. “He’s older, 39, articulate and one-liner funny,” Scholz said. “He takes the game seriously but in interviews he came across as being grateful to even be there.”

As far as the hockey camp is concerned, Scholz says it’s a work in progress. However, he divulged another tidbit about Thomas.

“Tim started missionary\humanitarian work in Kenya, opening a school, hospital and a church,” Scholz said. “He didn’t try to North Americanize people but went in there to benefit the people of Kenya.”

CHILDREN’S ARK The Children’s Ark, founded in 1994, was a treatment center for troubled and neglected children. About four years ago, the founders sold the facility to Axios, which ran into trouble when one of their employees was convicted of sexual assault on a child. As a result, Axios never recovered and was later shut down by El Paso County.

The closing leaves a gap in the treatment of troubled children.

As both their lives evolve, Scholz is writing the story as it happens. “I think Tim would consider missionary work I don’t think that was on his radar until about four or five years ago,”Scholz said. “He’s ready for the next chapter of his life.”

In the meantime, Scholz expects to send the book, tentatively titled, “No Regrets: the Tim Thomas Story,” to the publisher sometime next year.

Explore the past, present and future of the mining museum Presentation will be given July 18 at Palmer Lake town hall

By Lisa Collacott

lcollacott@ourcoloradonews.com Everything has a history and a future including the Western Museum of Mining and Industry.

On July 18 the public is invited to learn all about it when the Palmer Lake Historical Society will present “The Western Museum of Mining and Industry: Past, Present and Future.” Rick Sauers, executive director of WMMI, will present a slide show and walk through the history of the museum until now and talk about plans for the future.

The museum is located on a 27 acre parcel and Sauers said they are about to embark on major fundraising to add on to the museum. They also have plans to renovate the old farm house and will need to stabilize the foundation before it is open to the public.

“Eventually we would like to make it into a community center,” Sauers said.

Many people don’t know that the museum owns another 20 acres east of their current location at Interstate 25 and Northgate Boulevard.

The 20 acres is located off Voyager Parkway and housed the original museum. It is used now for archives and other equipment.

Sauers said during the Black Forest Fire everything in the original building had to be

moved out when that area had to be evacuated. They received help from the Pioneer Museum and the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs.

Sauer said he will talk about that during his presentation.

The long-term plan is to add a library on to the main museum to hold the archives.

“By the time I retire it will be one of the best museums in the country,” Sauers added.

Sauers said over the next few years they will eventually downsize the items in the warehouse and bring some back to the museum and give some items to other museums. The 20 acres will be sold.

The presentation will be at 7:00 p.m. July 18 at town hall in Palmer Lake which is located at 28 Valley Crescent.

It is free to the public and refreshments will be served.

Child-health law proves toothless Proposal was intended to spur more physical activity

By Kevin Vaughan I-News Network

A 2011 state law requiring 30 minutes of physical activity a day for elementary students was supposed to mark a new tool in the fight against childhood obesity — but in reality it did little more than reinforce the status quo, an I-News examination found.

The reason: The measure was so gutted during the legislative process that it has meant virtually no meaningful changes in the way elementary schools are operated. The standard imposed by the law — which allows recess to count as physical activity time — was already being met by districts across the state.

Two years later, the school day looks exactly the same for students across the state as it did before the law was passed.

“We didn’t change anything because we were already meeting it to begin with,” said Dave Eichman, director of athletics and physical education for Colorado Springs School District 11.

That sentiment was echoed over and over again by officials in the 10 largest Colorado districts — which account for more than half of the state’s 863,561 public school students — the I-News inquiry revealed.

Checks with smaller districts by I-News showed the same thing.

Still, supporters believe the law marked an important change in Colorado by instituting a standard where none previously existed.

“We felt like it was a step in the right direction,” said Reilly Pharo, of the Colorado Children’s Campaign, a nonprofit advocacy group that backed the measure.

“We know that obesity policy is complex, and it’s bigger than what happens at the state Capitol.”

Weight issues increasing

A far more encompassing measure was originally envisioned in an effort to fight the burgeoning child obesity problem — a growing concern among health professionals and policy makers who have seen a dramatic rise in the percentage of young people who are heavy. That reality concerns health officials — an obese child is at greater risk of such things as heart disease, Type 2 diabetes and sleep apnea, and is more likely to grow up to be an obese adult. In addition, obese children can suffer social discrimination.

“For kids, it has not only health consequences, but it

has emotional consequences, too,” said Janet Fulton, a lead epidemiologist and expert in physical activity at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“It is that double-edged sword.”

In 1980, about 7 percent of U.S. children ages 6 to 11 were obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control. By 2010, that number had jumped to 18 percent. Among adolescents ages 12 to 19, the jump was similar — from 5 percent in 1980 to 18 percent in 2010.

Colorado has not been immune to the problem, although the data here is less clear-cut.

For example, the Colorado Childhood Survey, conducted by the state health department, found that about 16 percent of children ages 1 to 14 were obese in 2011. But a different survey of high-school teenagers showed that about 7 percent of those students were obese that same year.

At the same time, other data paints a bleaker picture among children in a state ranked as the “fittest” by virtue of the fact that its adult obesity rate is the lowest in the country.

When it comes to childhood obesity, Colorado ranks 23rd of the 50 states, according to the CDC’s latest data. That data, which dates to 2007, showed that a little more than 14 percent of the state’s children were obese.

Trends are troubling

Other trends portend trouble on the horizon.

Latino children, who have overweight rates 60 percent higher than white children, according to the federal Office of Minority Health, are the fastest growing segment of the elementary school population.

And the percentage of poor children, also more likely to be overweight, entering the state’s elementary schools is also climbing.

Determining what constitutes “overweight” and “obese” requires determining what is known as body mass index — a formula that takes into account an individual’s height and weight.

In adults, it’s a simple calculation: Anyone with a BMI between 25 and 29.9 is considered overweight; anyone with a BMI of 30 or greater is considered obese.

In children, the calculation is more complicated.

Although the determination is still based on BMI, it includes a comparison to other children the same age and gender. A child is considered overweight with a BMI between the 85th percentile and 94th percentile as compared to children of the same age and gender.

A child who is obese has a body mass index in the 95th percentile or higher when compared to children of the

Grade-schoolers play during recess at Hutchinson Elementary School in Lakewood, Colo., near the close of the 2012-2013 school year. A 2011 state law written to incorporate physical activity into the daily schedule of elementary schools to help fight against childhood obesity has had little effect, according to an I-News examination. Photo by The I-News Network at Rocky Mountain PBS same age and gender.

Against that backdrop, legislators drafted a measure that would have required each school district to formally report how it was incorporating physical activity into the daily routine for elementary students. It also proposed minimum standards for what had to be reported — including the physical education curriculum used by schools, the number of minutes each week that students spent on things like exercise programs, recess and fitness breaks, and the qualifications of those who supervised students in physical activity. And it would have required the Colorado Department of Education to report the collected information and correlate it with the academic performance information for each elementary school.

But opponents, including the Colorado Association of School Boards and several school districts, chafed at the potential cost and at the intrusion of the state into an issue that many believe is one of local control. The proposal also banged into the philosophical question of who is responsible for making sure kids lead healthy lives — parents or schools?

Schools fought measure

Among the opponents were the Jefferson County, Adams 12 and Boulder Valley school districts.

“It was creating a mandate,” said Briggs Gamblin, spokesman for Boulder Valley Schools. “That was the height of the cuts, and we felt that we couldn’t support even well-intentioned pro-

grams at that time that were mandating new programs on school districts, many of them much more cashstrapped than us.”

The bill was amended to simply require that each school board institute a policy stating that all elementary students would have “opportunities” for the equivalent of 30 minutes of physical activity a day.

Those opportunities could include gym class, recess, stretch breaks, and field trips that involve walking.

“It was a great bill in concept, but it got watered down,” said state Sen. Irene Aguilar, one of the measure’s sponsors, who is also a primary care physician.

Because there are no reporting requirements, there is no way to know with certainty exactly how schools are complying.

Aguilar said she hopes the legislature can come back at some point and push for more substantive changes.

Research has shown that physical activity is critical to maintaining a healthy body weight in adults — and, conversely, that it is almost impossible to do it with diet alone.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans call for children to get 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical movement a day.

That means moving with enough intensity to get winded. A variety of activities that promote aerobic development and muscle and bone strengthening is recommended.

And research has shown benefits far beyond healthy

body weight — things like attention, behavior and academic performance all improve when kids are active, according to multiple studies.

Trouble meeting goal

Kim Gorman, director of the weight management program at the University of Colorado’s Anschutz Health and Wellness Center, pointed out that even in the best possible scenario — every student getting 30 minutes of moderate to vigorous movement every day — it would account for only half that is called for. And it would account for only about 46 percent of the year.

But even the best case has problems. In some schools, recess is an extension of lunch — meaning students who spend more time eating can end up with less time to move around.

And recess doesn’t require a student to do anything — drive by an elementary when the kids are outside, and it’s not unusual to see groups of them standing around, or even sitting on the blacktop, talking.

Still, Gorman and others argued that it’s critical to get

youngsters moving, and it doesn’t have to be running laps.

Gorman’s idea is simple: She’d have 30 minutes of open playground time before and after school each day. And then she’d let the kids do whatever they wanted so long as they were moving — everything from jumping rope to playing basketball to dancing.

“It can be dancing — it absolutely can be dancing,” Gorman said. “It doesn’t have to be a punitive thing that kids don’t like.”

Community celebrates Old Fashioned 4th of July The Woodland Park Old Fashioned 4th of July Celebration at Memorial Park went off without a hitch to the delight of thousands.

The celebration lasted from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. with about 50 local non-profit organizations and businesses offering family activities.

“There was a steady stream of people,” said Cindy Keating, director of Parks and Recreation for the City of Woodland Park. “I know our sales and merchandise was up from the previous cou-

ple of years.”

A pancake breakfast kicked off the event.

Other activities included a fishing contest, fire truck rides, games, prizes, entertainment, food, arts and crafts, and more. Parks and Rec offered free volleyball and horseshoes.

A spectacular fireworks show was originally scheduled to take place at Woodland Park High School, but it was cancelled to a fire ban in Teller County.

A popsicle cold front was enough to put smiles on several Independence Day faces.

Even the refreshments were Red, White and Blue.

Loeb sets Hill Climb record French driver reaches peak in 8 minutes, 13 seconds

By Danny Summers

dsummers@ourcoloradonews.com The buzz surrounding Sebastien Loeb only seemed to grow for the two weeks leading up to the 91st running of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb.

Fellow drivers knew the Frenchman was capable of something special, but nobody anticipated the impossible.

Loeb, driving a 2013 Peugeot 208 T16 Pikes Peak, raced up the mountain on June 30 in blazing fashion that still has many folks wondering “How did he do it?”

His time of 8 minutes, 13.878 seconds was more than a minute and a half faster than the previous record time.

“I felt really good in the car, and I pushed it hard from the start to the finish,” said an elated Loeb, after reaching the top of the 14,110-foot summit. “I made no mistakes, and I felt the race was really good.

To drive a car like this and race up here (to the top) is what makes this special. It’s amazing.

“I’m really happy with the time I achieved. We’ll see in the future if we come back.”

Loeb maneuvered the mountain in relative ease, taking each of the 156 turns along the 12.42 mile course and making the pavement his own personal playground. He reached top speeds of over 150 mph, while averaging a mindboggling 87 mph.

“So many tears to break the 10-minute mark, and Sebastien just blows through this in less than nine minutes like it was nothing,” said longtime Hill Climb racer Layne Schranz, who finished second in the

Pikes Peak Open division behind his father, Randy.

“What a machine. What a driver.

“I know all of Europe was watching Sebastien blow that record, so congratulations to all everybody.”

Loeb’s incredible run was one of those moments that will forever be etched in Hill Climb lore. It was just two years ago that the elusive 10-minute barrier was finally cracked by Nobuhiro “Monster” Tajima — arguably the most popular and greatest racer in the Hill Climb history.

Tajima’s time of 9:51 was mind-blowing because it occurred when the final 2½ miles of road was still gravel. Competitors and fans alike understand the full significance of what Tajima accomplished on one of the most dangerous race courses in the world.

With the road fully paved for the first time last year, two more drivers — also from foreign lands — joined the 9-minute club; Romain Dumas of France (9:46.181) and Rhys Millen of Australia (9:46.164).

Dumas and Millin went head-to-head with Loeb this year, but with mixed results. Dumas’s engine blew up shortly after he left the start line. Millin ran an impressive time of 9:02.192.

Dumas gave Loeb an assist by loaning him his face video from last year’s Hill Climb.

“He didn’t need it,” Dumas said with a smile. “He’s good enough.”

In any other year, Millin’s fast run would have left fans in awe. But his run came after Dumas not only the conquered the mountain, but brought it to its knees.

“When you saw what he was doing in practice you knew he might be get into the low 8s,” said Woodland Park’s Clint Vahsholtz, who won the Open Wheel division with a time of 11:07.

Loeb, 39, came to Pikes Peak with already impres-

He finished second at the famed 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2006.

Peugeot was looking to make a statement at Pikes Peak. That’s why they dumped — by some reports — as much as $6 million into this race alone. They famous French car company said this was probably just a one-time venture, but many are wondering if they will make a return to “America’s Mountain” in 2014.

June 30 marked the first time Peugeot had competed at Pikes Peak since back-toback titles in 1988 and 1989

by Ari Vatanen and Robby Unser.

Twitter went crazy on the

afternoon of June 30 after Loeb’s record run. French men and women (the Hill Climb is more popular in Europe and Japan than in America) tweeted their praises to their beloved countryman.

The conditions were nearly perfect for Loeb, who took off up the mountain around 11:30 a.m. Temperatures were in the mid-60s and the moisture (rain and snow) was not to come for at least an hour.

As expected, numerous records fell at the historic race — the second oldest auto race in America behind the Indianapolis 500.

Tajima, 63, a nine-time Unlimited division champion, switched from his traditional gasoline-powered past to the Electric Auto Division last year. His first attempt failed when he had to shut down because of an onboard fire. But not so on June 30.

Tajima piloted his electric 2013 E-Runner Pikes Peak Special to victory with a new Electric record clocking of 9:46.530.

Veteran driver Paul Dallenbach of Basalt won the Time Attack division with a time of 9:46.001, driving the Hyundai Genesis Coupe that Rhys Millen drove last year.

Carlin Dunne of Santa Barbara, Calif. — who owns the race’s overall record for the motorcycles at 9:52.819 — again was the fastest motorcycle, clocking a time of 10:00.694 on his 2013 Lightning Electric SuperBike in the Exhibition Powersports class. France’s Bruno Langlois set a record on his 2013 Ducati Multi-

Michael Coburn’s 11:05.874 time on his 2013 Walsh 450R was a Quad Modified class record, and Woodland Park’s Codie Vahsholtz set a Pikes Peak 250 record with a time of 11:24.792 on his 1996 Kawasaki KX 250.

The race was delayed twice in the morning wave after a pair of motorcycle riders were injured after crashing off the course. Michael Applehns of Denver, racing in the Pikes Peak Superbike 750 class, went off the course in his 2006 Suzuki GSXR, and Alex Moreno of Dublin, Ohio, also crashed his 2008 Honda CBR1000RR off the course.

Both riders were airlifted to Colorado Springs-area hospitals for treatment.

Schranz family continues success on Pikes Peak Good day for locals at 2013 Hill Climb

By Danny Summers

dsummers@ourcoloradonews.com Randy Schranz’s 39th run up Pikes Peak was one of his most memorable.

The 65-year-old longtime Colorado Springs resident won the Open division during the 91st running of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb on June 30. He also clipped a spectator and destroyed an iPad with his 2013 Shelby Cobra. He later crossed the finish line

in first place (11 minutes, 21.410 seconds) — eight seconds ahead of his son, Layne.

“I didn’t know I had done damage to my car until I got to the top (of the summit),” Randy said. “I clipped a woman with my front-side fender and it tore the whole thing off.”

Randy later found out that the woman was taken to a local hospital. He was told she did not have lifethreatening injuries.

The incident happened in the first half-mile of the race. Randy thinks he was going about 80 mph at the time.

“She never moved,” he said. “She was standing in the dirt part of the road taking pictures.

“I had rain tires on the car, so I was taking it easy.

I could have been going 10 mph faster.”

Randy and Layne were hoping that they would finish first and second. But they both agreed it would probably be Layne coming out on top.

“All week long Layne was running about 30 seconds faster than me,” Randy said.

But the day of the race he had problems with his engine again.”

Layne spent his final day of practice on June 29 running his car around New Life Church, leaving burnt rubber on the road. But three times during race day his car — a 1999 Chevrolet Monte Carlo — either sputtered or stopped on the way up the mountain.

“I thought we had gotten things worked out, but we had a few problems today,” said Layne, who suffered a leg injury in mid-June, but was able to operate his car without any issues. “My car shut off at Double Cup, but I was able to get it restarted and finish the race.”

Layne switched to the Open division this year because there were not enough competitors in Stock Car. Clint competed in Open Wheel and won the class.

“This is the happiest I’ve ever been with second place,” Layne said with a smile. “I’ve had seven years

“My dad and I talked about it and we decided to run against each other. He ran really well all week and I am just so happy for him.”

Layne, a graduate of the now defunct Hilltop Baptist in Colorado Springs, has raced up Pikes Peak 20 times. Coupled with his father’s mark, the two own the record for the most starts by a father and son in Hill Climb history.

“We can sleep well tonight and have a good party with the team,” said Layne, who makes his home in Birmingham, Alabama. “All in all it was a pretty good day.”

Layne and Randy were

set up next to each other in the Pike National Forest, about 50 yards from the start line.

Randy said he would like to make at least one more run up Pikes Peak in 2014.

“That would make 40 and that sounds like a good round number to end on,” Randy said “That would be a good time to quit.”

Randy surpassed the famed Louis Unser a few years ago with the most runs up the mountain. Randy met Unser in 1972 after he had just retired.

Layne believes his father might run his last race in 2016—- the 100-year anniversary of the Hill Climb.

The oldest competitor in the latest edition of the

Hill Climb was 72-year-old Ralph Murdock of Colorado Springs in the Pikes Peak Vintage division. Murdock did not finish the race in his 1970 Chevy Camaro.

David Donner of Colorado Springs won the Time Attack Division in a blistering 9:53.581. Dan Berendes of Monument finished third in the 450cc motorcycle division, while Jeff Grace of Colorado Springs won the Heavyweight Supermoto.

Vahsholtz family makes history with multiple wins on Pikes Peak Clint, Codie win divisions at Hill Climb

By Danny Summers

dsummers@ourcoloradonews.com Pikes Peak might always be known as “Unser Mountain” to auto racing fans around the world. But the Vahsholtz family now owns it.

Woodland Park’s own Clint and Codie, also known as father and son, each won their divisions at the 91st running of the famed Pikes Peak International Hill Climb on June 30. Coupled with Leonard’s 18 wins (Clint’s dad/Codie’s grandfather) the Vahsholtz family now has 39 victories — one more than the famed Unsers.

“I always dreamed of getting our family to that next level,” said Codie, 22, a 2009 Woodland Park High School graduate. “I feel ecstatic now that it’s happened.”

Clint won in his first attempt in the Open Wheel Division — a 2013 Ford Open. His time of 11 minutes, 5.05 seconds was impressive considering the murky conditions he had to race in as clouds, rain and snow became an issue as the day wore on.

Codie competed in the 250cc motorcycle division, setting an all-time record in the class of with a time 11:24.494 — 28 seconds faster than second-place finisher Jason Archuleta of Colorado Springs. Archuleta held the previous record of 11:41, set in 2012.

“I’m really thankful to the Lord that he could give me the opportunity to do this,” said Codie, who also raced Pikes Peak in 2011 and 2012. “I felt focused all week. I felt really confident that I could make a good, clean run up the mountain and that we could walk away with a victory.”

Clint and Codie drove/rode in completely different conditions. When Codie took off about 9:30 a.m., temperatures were in the mid-60s at the start line with perfect visibility. By the time Clint made his run at about 3:20 p.m., he had to deal with clouds, fog and slick roads caused by rain and snow. It was not a “Race to the Clouds” for Clint, but rather a “Race through the Clouds.”

“I went through a dense fog patch below Mile Marker 16,” Clint said. “I thought it was raining. I could hardly see through my face mask.”

Clint cleaned the muck off his helmet by using paper towels as wiper blades that had been taped to his arms. By the time Clint was ready for his run, the mountain was under a flash flood warning.

The slick conditions caused the usually aggressive Clint to take things a little slower.

“A time or two the car chopped sideways,” Clint said. “I gave it the best run I

Codie Vahsholtz, leaning on motorcycle, won the 250cc motorcycle class and set a record in the process. He joins his father, Clint, and grandfather, Leonard, as members of the family who have won Hill Climb titles. Photos by Danny Summers could, given the conditions.

“You take it as you can get it. I’ll take it as a win and we’ll move forward.”

The Vahsholtzes have been competing on Pikes Peak as a family for nearly 40 years.

Leonard, the owner of Clint’s car, began his career in the 1970s, winning his last title in 2007. He also won an exhibition truck title in 2008, but the family does not officially count that as a victory.

The Vahsholtz’s arrived at the mountain early Sunday morning — about 3 a.m. — to get set up and ready for the long day ahead.

Clint visited with Codie prior to his run up the 12.42-mile course and gave him some final instructions. (Clint was a three-time winner in motorcycles back in the early 1990s and knows a thing or two about making a good run) While Clint ate a breakfast burrito, Codie got his game face on and waited in line for his run with members of his crew, as well as the bike’s owner, Gary Steinberger of Colorado Springs. Clint had no way to immediately congratulate Codie since telephone reception is non-existent on most of the mountain. So he had to wait about six hours until he reached the top.

“I was so excited for Codie to get that first win,” Clint said. “He had that eye all

Cycling Hill Climb coming to Pikes Peak July 21 Riders will be on the same course as the famous auto race

The 2013 Pikes Peak Bicycle Hill Climb is set for July 21.

Presented by The Broadmoor, the Pikes Peak Bicycle Hill Climb is a challenge cycling event for all comers. It includes a USA Cycling sanctioned bicycle race and an open “Fun Ride” that ascends to the summit of “America’s Mountain.”

The course is 12.4 miles - the same distance the automobiles use for the world renowned Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. The race and ride is a fully supported cycling event that provides a limited number of cyclists (maximum of 1,500) the chance to tackle one of the most challenging climbs in the world. Riders negotiate over 150 turns and climb over 4,700 feet on their way to the summit of Pikes Peak.

The race is now part of the Rocky Mountain State Games, which is held over the last two weekends of July.

This Bicycle Hill Climb takes place the day after the Mount Evans Hill Climb. Evans and Pikes Peak are the two highest paved roads in the United States, and for those cyclists that attempt to climb both of these 14,000 feet mountains on the same weekend it will take courage, heart and a great amount of endurance.

Pactimo, the Official Clothing Supplier of both Bicycle Hill Climbs, will be creating a special cap awarded to those that brave and accomplish the summit of these two great Colorado peaks.

This is the third year of the Pikes Peak event. The record is owned by LeRoy

Popowski of Colorado Springs, who ascended the mountain in one hour, eight minutes, 36.818 seconds. The women’s record is held by Katie Compton of Colorado Springs (1:30:46.157).

The first 500 Fun Ride registrants will receive a commemorative event T-Shirt. The Fun Ride will begin at 6 a.m. (one hour prior to the racers) and utilize the same course.

All Fun Ride participants who finish by 9:30 a.m. will receive a summiteer medal. Fun Ride will be hand timed.

Preregistration is $70 for the Hill Climb and $50 for the Fun Ride before July 15.
