By Pat Hill

phill@ourcoloradonews.com As conveyor of history, the new water tower at the Cripple Creek Heritage Center tells a story while heralding the evolution of water storage as well as transportation. The tower is significant, a towering presence announcing the historic treasury inside the center, with photos and stories of farming, ranching and transportation in the beginning of the 20th century. Bill Wells, Rich and Lee Johnson donated the water tank last year while the city of Cripple Creek’s building department put the finishing touches on in September. “The water tank was put together in South Dakota in the 1940s from a kit,” Wells said. According to history compiled by Wells, the tank supplied water for the farm owned by Pete and Zelma Divan for more than 35 years. By 1970, the tank was obsolete, replaced by a submersible pump. In a serendipitous connection with Teller County, the tank wove its way through Divan family ties, passed down from one generation to the next. POSTAL ADDRESS

In a carefully-planned execution the building department in Cripple Creek put the lid on the water tank adjacent to the parking lot at the Cripple Creek Heritage Center. When the Divans’ son, Butch, married Linda Johnson, the fathers of the couple struck up a bond over the tank. In a reversal of the kit assembly, Ernie Johnson and Pete Divan took the tank apart, numbering each piece of redwood in order to reassemble the structure at Johnson’s cabin in the Four Mile area.

They hauled the pieces to Teller County on a trailer hooked up to Johnson’s 1965 Chevy pickup. “The tank was reassembled here and used until 2000,” Wells said. “The tank tapped into a spring that was actually on my property as well.” For the past 13 years, the tank was only a charming piece of history sitting in the woods between the Johnson and Wells properties. “It needed to be in a place where people could see it,” Wells said. On the hill a few miles from the city, Printed on recycled Wells’ wishes have been met, the visibilnewsprint. Please ity heightened by the lettering “Midland recycle this copy. Terminal Railway, Cripple Creek, Co.” Jeff Kurka, manager of Cripple Creek’s building department, designed the roof while Ed’s Custom Sheet Metal did the assembly. The project was estimated to be around $2,000.

There’s a storm brewing in Green Mountain Falls over a proposal by Mayor Pro Tem Jane Newberry to initiate a new form of government under a town manager. Along with her suggestion at the board meeting on Oct. 1, Newberry asked for a vote to name Public Works Director Rob McArthur to the position. Mayor Lorrie Worthey balked at the suggestion, citing the suddenness of the proposals as well as the specific recommendation of McArthur. While supportive of the idea, Worthey emphasized the need for research. Worthey effectively stopped the vote that evening. In a follow-up interview, Worthey emphasized her concern over the proposal. “If we decide to do this, appoint a town manager, we need to look for applicants for the job,” she said. “There are many people who would love to live and work in Green Mountain Falls.” Worthey is particularly disturbed over the perception that the proposals would be voted on that evening. “To bring this up on a moment’s notice is not good practice,” she said. “You don’t just put something on the agenda without having the citizens weigh in on this.” The issue is complex, Worthey said. “What is the relationship between the town manager and the board? Is the town manager the ultimate authority?” she said. “Do we split the duties between the town clerk and the town manager? We don’t know.” While a town manager would remove any personality issues that crop up between the board and the liaison to the trustee, Worthey said, on the other hand, there could be auxiliary issues. “We also need to talk to other communities that have this form of government,” she said. “It’s a lot about the personality of our town.” Another snag is the upcoming election, when a new board will be seated in April. “I just don’t think this is the direction we need to take,” she said. “I suggest we do the research between the first meeting Jan. 7 and after the election in April.” Naming McArthur to the position without doing the research also is a concern for the mayor. “To have a person already picked out is not good practice,” she said. McArthur disagrees. “There are many projects lined up for the near future, and GMF needs someone with a proven record for getting things done. I have a lot of postsecondary education, but a master’s degree is not going to get the work accomplished.” Because McArthur is already is a fulltime employee, he considers his candidacy viable. “All the trustees are volunteers who are elected officials and do not have the time to invest in gaining a complete understanding of the municipal functions, especially if they are in for one term only,” he said. “There needs to be one individual with an understanding of this community’s municipal idiosyncrasies, methods, codes, infrastructure and resident population.” Among the arguments against a town manager is the idea that a town manager would cost the town an additional salary. “The proposal is not for a standalone town manager, but rather a town manager\public works director who, in this case, is not asking for a wage increase,” he said. “This Falls continues on Page 11

Commissioners approve proposed budget By Pat Hill

phill@ourcoloradonews.com In approving the proposed balanced budget for 2014, Teller County commissioners recognized the value of the county’s employees and department heads who held the line on requests. Balanced at $26,854,722 for 2014, the proposed budget, presented to commissioners Oct. 10 by Vicki Caldwell, is both sacrificial in some ways and optimistic in others. “While the county survived the 2012 fire season, we are still waiting to see the financial impacts of this year’s flooding,” the budget message said. The message recognizes the county’s conservative spending practices, in addition to employee cohesion and unity in limiting requests for operations. The message states that the county continues to function at about 80 percent of the 2010 workforce levels which results in reduced personalized services. The message offers a hopeful tidbit for county employees with a “compensation pool” set aside within the budget. Employee benefits include health and retirement plans. However, in a year when property valuations were expected to go down, they did, but not to the extent planned by the budget office. Last year, the county collected $7,606, 662 in property-tax revenue, a 2.6 percent decrease from the year before. The loss was, in part, neutralized by the value of mineral production, resulting in a small increase in the total county assessed values. “We are cautiously optimistic that everything will go well,” said Dave Paul, commission chair. Commissioner Norm Steen added, “I’m really impressed with the level of engagement, fiscal responsibility, professionalism and expertise.” Commissioners are scheduled to ap-

Posusta has accepted a position with a consulting firm that specializes in capital fundraising for hospitals. “He’s going up to the oil-boom area of North Dakota,” Dettenrieder said.

Mayor injured in motorcycle crash By Staff report

Woodland Park Mayor Dave Turley was injured in a motorcycle crash on Tarryall Road on Oct. 8 and is now suffering with five broken right ribs with multiple breaks. His right lung was also partially collapsed. Turley was still in the hospital Monday. The mayor told his trainer, Cord Prettyman, that it could be at least an eight-week recovery process. Prettyman said Turley was wearing a good helmet and appropriate outerwear but was still scraped up, in addition to his other injuries. Turley said the crash occurred about a mile and half north of U.S. 24, on Tarryall Road headed south. He estimated he was going about 35 to 45 mph and hit gravel and sand in a turn. He said he brought the bike up from the slide but too late and was carried down a

side embankment. He said he had a great helmet and great protective gear with boots, pants, jacket and gloves. The mayor was unable to move for about 15 minutes from that location. “Finally a lady driving north saw me and told me she would drive back to Lake George to get a cell signal and call 9-1-1. Two outstanding gentlemen — they are angels to me — stopped, comforted me and helped keep me calm until the paramedics arrived. They were doing all the stuff to stabilize me and then the rescue from Ute Pass/Woodland Park arrived and they all got me up the hill on the backboard and then transported me to Pikes Peak Regional Hospital in Woodland Park. Emergency room staff was on me right away ... my many thanks to the good Samaritans, the EMT’s and everyone who helped me and got me to the hospital,” Turley said in Facebook post.

Annual potato soup supper slated Event celebrates agricultural, ranching, railroad heritage As the days become shorter and the chill of autumn is in the air, what could be more alluring than a hot bowl of soup, a program about the history of the area and the company of friends old and new? One can find all of this and more on Oct. 25 at the annual potato soup supper held at the Pikes Peak Community Club, 11122 U.S. Highway 24, in Divide and sponsored by Ute Pass Historical Society. This annual tradition and fundraising event for society celebrates the agricultural, ranching and railroad heritage of the Ute Pass area. This year, the society is pleased to announce that longtime Woodland Park resident Larry Black will present “Pikes Peak’s Shadow,” a history of Teller County from its early ranching and lumbering days through the discovery of gold in Cripple Creek and the railroad era. The program is based on a video of the same name created in 1999 to commemorate Teller County’s Centennial celebration.

When Ann Humphrey received news recently that she was being furloughed as part of the federal government shutdown, she immediately drove to Rep. Ed Perlmutter’s Jefferson County office and sought answers, while wiping away tears. “I was very upset,” the Lakewood woman said. “I just wanted to vent and let them know how upset I was. I didn’t know if I was going to be getting paid or how long this would last. It was really scary.” Humphrey has been a government employee for the last 25 years, most recently as a management assistant with the Department of Treasury. She’ll probably end up getting back pay, but in the meantime she has no income and plenty of bills to deal with. “I called Wells Fargo to see if they would defer my house payment and they wouldn’t do it for me,” she said. “It’s really stressful. It really is the fear of the unknown.” Humphrey wasn’t the only one facing uncertainty amid the shutdown. Mickey Devitt of Denver is an attorney for the National Labor Relations Board. Her position was furloughed and she, like Humphrey, has been faced with uncertainty about what the immediate future will bring. “I have two young kids and I’m the breadwinner for my family,” she said. “I have half a paycheck to last me until (Oct. 10) and I don’t what’s going to happen after that.” While Humphrey and Devitt triage their bills and forgo unnecessary expenses, politicians point fingers. “We’ve done everything we can to keep this government funded and we are doing everything we can now, knowing that we don’t have a Senate or a president who wants to have a conversation with us,” said Republican Congressman Cory Gardner. “We now have a shutdown of the government, there’s now this overarching threat of the United States defaulting on its full faith and credit and not paying the bills,” said Congressman Ed Perlmutter, a Democrat. “And these guys (Republicans) have been holding the economy and working people hostage. “It really is unforgivable.”

Shutdown puts lives in limbo Politicians point fingers as workers face uncertainty

Easily

IF YOU GO

On Oct. 10 and 11, some movement was made toward a shutdown resolution, as House Republicans — stinging from national poll numbers that show they are receiving the lion’s share of the blame for the

shutdown — began submitting short-term proposals to raise the federal debt ceiling and reopen the government. But ending the shutdown is only one step in the process. Congress still must deal with long-term budget and debt-ceiling issues, something it hasn’t been very good at in recent years. “I hope my Republican colleagues come to their senses, because this is not the way to run anything — a government, a family, a business, anything,” Perlmutter said of Congress’ knack for creating self-imposed crises. “It’s drama, after drama, after drama.” Perlmutter also blasted House Republicans for their reasons behind shutting down the government in the first place, what he sees as an obsession with either crippling or dismantling the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. Obamacare is up and running, in spite of Republican efforts to halt it. “These guys continue to want to do something about that, but they’ve lost every time,” he said. But Gardner insists that Republican efforts to derail President Obama’s biggest legislative achievement have to do with ending “unfair” individual mandates on health insurance coverage and getting rid of burdensome taxes placed on medical devices. “Just because a law is the law doesn’t mean the American public should be burdened with it, if it has components in that are bad,” Gardner said. Gardner also said he pays no attention to polls that show the public has grown tired Congress as a whole, but has soured on Republicans, in particular. “I don’t think anybody ever tried to think that Congress was a popularity contest,” Gardner said. “Whether or not Congress is seen in a good light or a bad light (has to do with) whether we’re doing the right thing for our nation.” While the political back-and-forth continues, lives continue to be affected. “Here I am, trying to do my job and the government lays me off,” Humphrey said. “I don’t want to sound political, but it’s really getting old. I just want to go back to work and do my job.” Devitt had to put an important dental procedure on hold because she didn’t know if she was going to have the money to pay for it. But money is only part of her frustration; there’s also her belief that the public doesn’t fully appreciate the “value” of government employees. But while Devitt believes that “federal servants are often treated like a piñata,” she has no intention of leaving her position for a private-sector job. “What I do is important, whether people see it or not,” she said.

Downtown development moves forward Propane tank removed as part of beautification project By Pat Hill

phill@ourcoloradonews.com On the surface, moving the Amerigas propane tank from the middle of downtown Woodland Park was just an exercise in getting rid of an unsightly object. However, the removal reflects 20 years of planning by the city of Woodland Park. The tank was on two lots in the area slated for improvements by the Downtown Development Authority, one of them in the Woodland Station, the other expected to be part of the station this year. “This is a culmination of a lot of work to get a development entity involved,” said Brian Fleer, executive director of the Office of Economic and Downtown Development. The property’s local owners are Arden Weatherford and Steve Randolph, in partnership with out-of-state developers. In addition to signaling future development within the station, the removal of the tank contributes to the city’s dedication to beautification, a project of the Keep Woodland Park Beautiful committee. The tank’s removal signals a flurry of development within Woodland Park station, with Center Street realigned to cross U.S. 24 to the property. Woodland Park Hardware is in the final phase of construction.

With the removal of the Amerigas propane tank from the center of Woodland Park, the city’s beautification plan got a major boost. The tank has been part of the city scene for the past 20 years. Photo by Pat Hill

Stephens announces run for U.S. Senate Monument lawmaker one of four GOP challengers to Udall By Staff report Rep. Amy Stephens, a Republican from Monument, formally announced her candidacy to become Colorado’s next U.S. senator Saturday. Stephens will challenge Democratic U.S. Sen. Mark Udall in 2014. The GOP primary now will have four candidates vying to unseat Udall, who has extensive name recognition. Weld County District Attorney Ken Buck, who ran last time against Udall, and state Sens. Randy Baumgardner of Hot Sulphur Springs and Owen Hill of Colorado Springs, have already announced their candidacies for the GOP nomination for

U.S. Senate. Stephens, with the help of former Republican U.S. Sen. Hank Brown, made her announcement at the Classical Academy in Colorado Springs on Oct. 13. Stephens labels Udall “out-of-touch” and vows to “fight against Obamacare’s negative impact on seniors, doctors, families and job creators until the day we’re finally able to repeal it.” Stephens sponsored bipartisan legislation some called “Amycare.” She won a very close primary race with former Rep. Marsha Looper that was forced by state redistricting. Stephens worked for Focus on the Family and founded her own consulting firm. “Some people say America’s best days are behind us,” Stephens says in her announcement video. “I believe our country’s best days are ahead.”

Mystery of murdered miner never solved “Old men’s prayers for death are lying prayers, in which they abuse old age and long extent of life. But when death draws near, not one is willing to die, and age is no longer a burden to them.” __Euripides (438 B.C.) Clement S. Parks lived alone in an old two-story house on South Second Street in Cripple Creek in the winter of 1944. The building had 10 rooms but he kept to only three of them. He had arrived in the mining district in the heyday of 1896 and worked at the Portland for 32 years, but in 1928, his failing vision forced him to retire. His vision continued to falter quickly. By 1944, as he had aged, he became increasingly more feeble and his sight had slipped so far that he could barely tell daylight from dark. In his eighties, the retired miner came to depend on the kindness and generous nature of his neighbors. At least twice a week, his neighbor W. R. Thumback, an elderly man himself, would saunter by to help Parks in obtaining food and essentials, and with whatever the blind old man needed.

On the morning of Dec. 28, 1944, when Thumback came calling, his friend’s outside door was unlocked when he entered at 7 a.m. Parks, the harmless, old, blind miner that was not known to have an enemy, was found dead in his bed, shot once through the head. Thumback had notified Mrs. A. W. Oliver, in charge of the Teller County welfare office, who in turn called A.C. Denman, coroner, who went to house immediately and found Park’s body still warm, according to a paper written for the Denver Westerners by Carl F. Mathews in 1962.

Mathews was the former superintendent of the Bureau of Identification for Colorado Springs Police Department. “Sheriff Cecil Markley and Police Chief Steve Playford said they had a murder mystery in which they found no clues. At the end of a day’s work on the case they had no idea who fired the shot,” wrote Mathews. “Markley said an extensive search failed to reveal the presence of a gun, thus putting the question of suicide out of the question. In the hip pocket of Park’s trousers, which hung at the head of the bed, the officers found a wallet containing $445. The bullet, a .38 caliber, had passed through the man’s head and the officers found it embedded in the wall. The shot had evidently been fired from the direction of the outside door. Parks was not believed to have had any money other than that in his pocket, the officers said, nor anything else of value… They said it would not have been necessary for anyone to kill him to rob him.” According to reports, both officers said

that while Thumback had been questioned at length, no suspicion fell on him. The Sheriff and the Police Chief made a thorough search of the entire building but nothing in fingerprints, tracks other indications had been found that would throw any light on the mystery. Markley said he could find no grounds for supposing that treasure of any kind was hidden in the old building. A.C. Denman, coroner, held an inquest at Law Mortuary in Cripple Creek on Dec. 29 and reached the conclusion that Parks had come to his death by gunshot wound to the head, inflicted by a person or persons unknown, and that his death was felonious. On Sunday, January 8,1945, Sheriff Markley said “everything is at a standstill,” in efforts to solve the case. According to all subsequent reports, nothing more was ever learned. To this day, there is no clear picture who, or why, someone would choose to shoot a blind, feeble, retired miner, more than eighty-years-old, in the head as he lay in his own bed.

‘World Series’ has a long and storied history Towards the end of the classic movie “Field of Dreams,” the character played by James Earl Jones (Terrence Mann) makes a speech talking about why baseball is more than just a sport. Jones said in part: “The one constant through all the years has been baseball. Baseball has marked the time. This game is a part of our past. It reminds us of all that is good. And it could be again.” The World Series is set to begin Oct. 23. It will be the culmination of nine months of hard work and dedication for players and coaches on both teams. Pitchers and catchers reported in February before the trees bloomed. By the time the final pitch is thrown at the end of this month, snow will be falling in parts of the country. Like most things Americana, the Fall Classic, as we know it today, had somewhat rocky beginnings. The modern World Series started in 1903 when Boston’s American League team (Americans or Pilgrims - later the Red Sox) defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates five games to three. Major League Baseball had several versions of a post-season championship series in the late 1800s. In 1884, the Providence Grays of the National League outplayed the Metropolitan Club of New York from the American Association three games to zero for what was originally called “The Championship of the United States.” Several newspapers penned the Grays as “World Champions” and the new title stuck. The American Association, which started play in 1882, was a second major league. The National League started play in

1876. It was formed from the old National Association (1871-75). Starting with that first World Championship, over the next six years, different variations took place between the National League and American Association pennant-winners, ranging in length from six to 15 games. In 1887, Detroit of the National League defeated St. Louis of the American Association 10 games to five. In 1885 and 1890 the series ended in ties with each team winning three games and one tie game. The American Association folded unexpectedly after the 1891 season forcing a suspension of the series. The following year, the National League absorbed four of the American Association’s former franchises and expanded to 12 teams in an effort to promote the growth of baseball and maintain the public’s interest. They played a split season in which the first-half winner played the second-half winner for the league championship. In 1892, the Boston Beaneaters defeated the Cleveland Spiders five games to zero with one tie.

Many fans did not support the new system and the split season was promptly dropped in 1893 with no World Series being played. In 1894, Pittsburgh’s owner William C. Temple offered a championship trophy to the winner of a best-of-seven-game series between the National League’s first and second-place teams. In addition, he stated that the winning franchise would receive 65 percent of all ticket sales and the losing team would pocket 35 percent. Temple’s novel idea lasted through 1897 and built the foundation for baseball’s postseason popularity. Temple Cup winners included the New York Giants, Cleveland Spiders and Baltimore Orioles (twice) There was no World Series in 1898 and 1899, but in 1900 the Chronicle-Telegraph Cup was played. It was one by the Brooklyn Superbas. The American League was established as a major league in 1901, much to the dismay of the senior circuit. Suddenly, baseball found itself engaged in a civil war over players as both rival leagues competed separately for the fans’ loyalty and attention. Two years later a truce, previously known as the “National Agreement,” was redefined outlining baseball’s employment, salary and travel requirements. The 1903 compromise produced the business blueprint for major-league baseball and resulted in a merger that has lasted to this day. Boston, as noted above, won the first modern World Series that season. But even this latest attempt at World Series continuity failed - for a while.

In 1904, the National League’s New York (now San Francisco) Giants refused to play the American League’s Boston Americans. At that point there was no governing body for the World Series nor any requirement that a Series be played, even though the league’s had agreed to hold a “World’s Championship Series” in 1904. With no binding contract, Giants’ owner, John T. Brush, refused to allow his team to participate in such an event, citing the “inferiority” of the upstart American League. John McGraw, the Giants’ manager, even went so far as to say that his Giants were already “world champions” since they were the champions of the “only real major league.” By 1905, the two sides patched things up and the World Series has been played every year since. Not quite. The only other season in which the modern World Series was not played was 1994 when a prolonged strike cancelled the event. Here’s an interesting fact, only once in modern baseball history has a team with the best record failed to play in that year’s postseason. It occurred during the 1981 strike season when the Cincinnati Reds posted a 66-42 overall record. The season was split into two halves and the Reds did not win either half, so they were left out of the postseason, despite their major leaguebest mark. No matter who wins this year’s World Series, one thing is for certain, baseball is a part of our past. Hopefully it remains a part of our future.

Juvenile delinquents throwing stones A real problem was raising the ire of school boards, teachers and parents 100 years ago. Now, there was a resurgence of concern in the problem after World War II, and some think even today, but I find the problem from back then quite interesting — maybe you will too. Up in the Cripple Creek District in the spring of 1903, seven students from Victor’s Washington School had a day in court. The children between 12 and 16 needed to appear before the county judge on interesting charges. A complaint comes down mainly to the violation of the school’s rule that prohibits students from chewing gum during school hours. This was a rule that was rarely followed by the students! The principal of the school, Miss Howard, was trying to get things under control. She had observed the continuing problem, and ordered confiscation of any gum found in the school. In addition, she ordered any students that were chewing gum to surrender their gum, and a drop of quinine would be added to the gum, and the student was then to continue chewing it. The quinine was a bitter medicine, which was harmless, but made the gum

quite unpleasant. In this case, one of the youngsters was caught with gum and given the penalty. At lunch the brother of this student verbally assaulted the principal, and the young man was ordered to go home after their skirmish. After school, the two children and five friends pelted the principal and another teacher with stones, rotten food and other available items. The principal made her way to the police station, followed by these children and their assault. When an officer came out, the attack continued briefly. Names were taken and tickets were issued. This was not the only incident, and the whole district was upset over the conduct of the area’s children. The children in

Stroke damage could be irreversible If you or a loved one were having a stroke, would you recognize the symptoms and know what to do? If not, the damage sustained could be irreversible, life changing or even fatal. The Mayo Clinic says stroke is a medical emergency. Prompt treatment is crucial and early intervention can minimize brain damage and potential complications. Pikes Peak Regional Hospital states on their website, pikespeakregionalhospital. com, that you need to “Act F.A.S.T.” The F stands for Face. Ask the person to smile. Is one side of his/her face drooping down? A is for Arms. Ask the person to raise both arms. Can they? S stands for Speech. Ask the person to say his/her name. Is the speech slurred or confusing? And T is for Time. Time is critical. Stroke is an emergency. It’s also critical to note the time of “Last Known Normal,” which is the time symptoms began. That is a major factor in determining treatment protocol.

Every second counts in minimizing the damage caused to the brain. During a stroke, an estimated 30,000 brain cells die every second — meaning time lost is brain lost. Here’s some great news for Ute Pass residents. PPRH now offers the latest in stroke technology to quickly and effectively treat stroke patients. Our local hospital is linked robotically with Swedish Medical Center, the leading stroke treatment hospital in Denver. Swedish is Colorado’s first Comprehensive Stroke Center certified by the Joint Commission, a national medical accreditation commission. According to Rodney Bice, the hos-

pital’s chief nursing officer, the hospital now has immediate access to experienced stroke neurologists from Swedish in the local emergency room using telemedicine technology and advanced robotics. With portable two-way audio/video equipment, Internet-enabled computers and remote access to medical devices, including electronic stethoscopes, otoscopes and monitors, neurologists specializing in stroke from Swedish can instantly appear on screen at a stroke victim’s bedside at the hospital. A hypothetical scenario would unfold like this: You recognize the symptoms of a stroke and call 9-1-1. The ambulance arrives and the EMT’s suspect the same. They call PPRH and alert the emergency room staff that they are transporting a possible stroke victim. The doctor then fires up the portable robotic device, which stands about 5 feet tall on wheels and is comprised of a video screen, camera, microphone and telephone. The ER doc picks up the phone and calls Swedish Hospital. By the time the ambulance arrives at

the hospital, the neurologist at Swedish is on the screen waiting to communicate with you, family members and hospital staff in a video conferencing format. The specialist quickly evaluates stroke symptoms interacting with the patient and family members. They can rapidly access monitoring devices and vital signs that allow them to collaborate with onsite emergency-room physicians. With all this critical data, the neurologist can then format a treatment plan, which could include a helicopter ride to Swedish, treatment on site at PPRH or no treatment at all. “With a stroke, you want to come to the closest hospital,” says Bice. “Ask the ambulance driver to take you to the closest facility.” Remember, time lost is brain lost.

Homecoming week deemed a success Cripple Creek-Victor Jr/Sr. High School celebrated homecoming week sponsored by Voices of Youth Changing Education. This week long tradition involved spirit week, pep rally, bonfire and homecoming parade and dance as well as the homecoming volleyball and football games. This year’s homecoming court, those students who were voted in by their peers to be eligible for Homecoming King and Queen included the following; ninthgrade, Bella Skottegaard and Conner Brown; 10th-grade, Julie Brown and Parker Theisen; 11th- grade, Michelle Brown and Cody Rice; and 12th-grade, Sarah

Wywias and Toby Wuellner. In the end after the entire student body voted, the seniors Sarah Wywias and Toby Wuellner took home the titles and were crowned at Saturday’s football game during halftime.

Unfortunately, the annual bonfire that takes place at Teller County Fairgrounds was canceled because of weather. The annual parade was also fun for the student body at CC-V. It started on B Street and allowed all of Cresson Elementary School to attend as the floats drove by and threw out candy. The parade route went down Bennett Avenue and eventually ended back on the football field where the 10th-grade class were declared the winners of the float competition. And lastly was the homecoming dance, the theme was “Hawaiian Luau.” We had a great turnout and the DJ services were provided by Dennis Thorn-

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor I learned recently that the Teller County Planning Commission denied Golden Bell Camp and Conference Center in Divide, a Conditional Use Permit to build a chapel on their property. This decision came just four months after the same planning commission approved a map change from “rural lands” and “rural residential” to “rural resort” for the same organization. I cannot understand denying Golden Bell the opportunity to build a chapel on their property. I understand many surrounding residents are opposed the map change. I have read the staff report used to make the decision to approve the map change, as well as the complaints by many of the residents who opposed any change. (And I should point out that many surrounding residents were in favor of the map change, citing Golden Bell as a polite and respectful neighbor.) Golden Bell has always been a conscientious, gracious and generous business in Teller County. I have never attended a church-sponsored camp there, but I have attended 4-H camps and activities, swim lessons with my children, swim events and numerous birthday parties. I know that schools, both private and public, utilize the camp’s facilities for sports camps and other retreats. I am ashamed that our county would now tell Golden Bell that they cannot build a chapel on their own property. The chapel itself is not going to generate a larger influx of people, so the complaints of increased traffic don’t apply to this permit application. As for changing the character of the area, it is obvious that the location of Golden Bell is no accident. The staff wants to bring campers up so they can enjoy the majestic surroundings of the Rocky Mountains. To build a “Disneyland” as one resident suggested would happen, would be completely counter-intuitive to what Golden Bell desires to offer their campers. I have also read the story behind the young man, Dan Walker, who will be the chapel’s namesake. Dan obviously loved this area as much as we all do. The Golden Bell Camp and Conference

Center was built in 1967. In his letter to the editor for the Gazette, Thomas Worley, a neighbor of Golden Bell, pointed out that when Golden Bell was built, “it was the only thing in the area. Now it is completely surrounded by rural residents and open pasture land.” It is clear to me that the surrounding homeowners built their homes well aware that they were bordering a camp. Golden Bell already owned the property they sought to have re-designated with a map change. Moreover, in regards to the chapel, the staff report conducted in response to Golden Bell’s application to change the Divide Region Growth and Conservation Map states that “the expansion area does have an appropriate land to serve as buffer to protect surrounding residential and agricultural areas from impacts.” The chapel falls within this expansion area. Under the cost/benefit analysis section of this same report, the benefits clearly outweigh the costs. “Specific benefits to the general Teller County community do exist including the preservation of a large undisturbed open space within the site, the provision of land for recreation that would enhance and provide opportunities for surrounding communities and residents, and the availability and adequacy of surrounding infrastructure.” You can read the entire report at www.co.teller.co.us/CDSD/Planning/PCAgendasBell.pdf. The requested map change has already been made to the Divide Region Growth Map and I understand that people are angry about this. I, too, have had to deal with growth that impacts my amazing views of this beautiful area, but the chapel is not the issue. The chapel has very little impact on traffic, water, sewer and noise. Many community and even state-wide organizations depend on these facilities to host camps, meetings and other events. In light of these facts, I would ask Teller County to reconsider the decision to deny the Conditional Use Permit for building a chapel at the Golden Bell Camp and Conference Center.

Children are taught valuable safety lessons Lake George Fire Protection District hosts students during Fire Prevention Week By Sonja Oliver

Contributing writer Every year, Lake George Charter School students look forward to Fire Prevention Week, a national observation of fire safety and awareness. The Lake George Fire Protection District has been conducting a program, now in its 26th year, to give schoolaged children the tools and confidence they may need in an emergency situation. During the week of Oct. 7-11, an array of fire trucks and emergency vehicles could be seen on display in front of the firehouse, complete with flashing lights and sirens blaring so that students could tour them and get a sense of how they work. Following the classroom instruction inside the fire station, all children were directed to the emergency vehicle and equipment bays and given a chance to dress up in authentic fireman’s bunker gear complete with boots, coat, gloves and helmets. The children were disappointed that Smokey the Bear was not outside to greet them as he has in years past. The U.S. Forest Service had furloughed Smokey because of the government shutdown. Prior to Fire Prevention Week, the students had been “geared up” by their teachers with classroom activities in preparation

and to reinforce their learning experience with the fire department. For some, especially the preschool students, it may be the first time they have heard about the dangers of fire and to see a fireman and fire truck up close. During the class held at the firehouse on Oct. 7, volunteer firefighter John Nixon donned the full uniform of a firefighter, complete with SCBA and face mask so they could hear what talking and breathing sounds like through the respirator. According to Kleinhesselink, this familiarization alleviates the possible fear a child could experience should they see a fireman in their bedroom telling them to come with him in an emergency situation. “The firefighter is your friend,” Kleinhesselink said to the class. “No, he is your superhero,” a young student responded.

Lessons learned

While the younger children learn about what a firefighter in full gear looks and sounds like so as not to be afraid, the older children in fifth through seventh grades were given the opportunity to go outside and actually “extinguish” a fire. Three fourperson teams took turns manning the fire hose, guiding the pressurized stream of water to knock down a red, yellow and orange fire painted on big piece of plywood. The lesson, Kleinhesselink said, is to teach the children teamwork and for them to trust and depend on each other; one firefighter cannot effectively handle a 250

Studies have shown that young children who have never seen or heard what a firefighter looks and sounds like can become afraid of the person who can save their life. One of the lessons of the Fire Prevention Week program at Lake George Fire Protection District is deigned to familiarize school-aged children with firefighters in their bunker gear. Photo by Sonja Oliver p.s.i. fire hose on his own. Kleinhesselink has been teaching fire safety to children for the past 26 years, beginning in 1986 while working at the Camp Alexander Boy Scout camp. He partnered with the school and then continued with the program when he became fire chief at Lake George Fire. He is very serious with the children when talking about the safety aspect of fires, but he also knows the students will retain their lessons learned when

they remember the fun experience they had during their visit to the fire station. In his lessons, Kleinhesselink teaches each class about the pain and injury that fire can cause, as well as precautions that individuals and families must take in order to be safe and to save lives. He told the children to be especially

Might as well face it, I’m addicted to Pinterest Pinterest. It’s like chocolate. It’s addictive and can be fattening. For those not familiar with the website, it has photos, instructions and links to websites on every subject known to man that you can “pin” onto your own special boards to reference at a later time. The site reminds of the notebooks I used to keep in high school that held pictures from various magazines that I clipped out and glued within the pages. My clippings offered tips on makeup, clothing and the like. I’m so glad I discovered Pinterest — along with about a million other people. The site has given me fantastic ideas on what to do with my scarves, tights and odd-colored tops that are buried in my closet. I didn’t realize my old clothes could be so versatile. I also didn’t realize that I could become a cleaning guru. Recently, I dropped an eyeliner pencil on the beige carpet in my bedroom. I groaned at the black mark it left. I tried to remove the stain, but it was useless. That stain wasn’t going to budge. So, I consulted the oracle, Pinterest, to see if there were any tricks that I had not yet thought of to remove the mark. Sure enough, I found a do-it-yourself recipe for carpet cleaner that the description said could remove any stain. Hmm. Well, it’s worth a try, I thought. The results? It was like magic! The black mark disappeared almost immediately, with very little elbow grease from me. I was so happy. I gushed to my husband about my amazing carpet cleaner, and he was supportive, but clearly wondered why I was so excited about cleaning. Another area that I needed help in was microwave cleaning. Anyone that has ever attempted to clean a microwave knows

that it’s a painstaking process that usually leaves one tired, bitter and opting to just chuck the foul cooking device altogether. The food that was cooked in there seems to have taken permanent residence, and becomes something that’s akin to cement on the microwave’s surface. Knowing that there were others out there who had experienced my pain, I let my fingers do the walking on Pinterest for possible solutions. I found a recipe that a pinner said “totally works. No more scum, no funky smells. Easy peasy!” It involved using one cup of vinegar and one cup of hot water cooked in the microwave for 10 minutes. Essentially it steam cleans the microwave so all that you have to do after the 10 minutes is wipe the thing down. Since I had funky smells emanating from the microwave, I was all for it. I threw caution to the wind and tried it. It was a Saturday when I decided to test this out. The smell of the cooking vinegar drew complaints from children. I came out of my bedroom and saw my oldest son, Max, 14, standing on the stairs wearing a gas mask. Really. You can’t make this stuff up. He commented about the smell, but I couldn’t make out what he was trying to say because his voice was muffled by the old surplus gas mask. I was surprised that the mask actually worked, considering that last time it was probably used was

Dayspring Dayfair to feature local talents Proceeds from event to help Christians around the world A Woodland Park church will showcase the creative talents of local Christian artists and craftsmen from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Nov. 9 at the Dayspring Dayfair at Dayspring Christian Fellowship, 1061 Rampart Range Road. The event will feature unique treasures, including stained glass, watercolor paintings, stationery, jewelry, handmade lotions and natural products, devotional books and baked goods. Refreshments will be available throughout the event. The Rev. Teri Downs says the purpose of the Dayfair is twofold: To display the creative gifts of local Christians, and to support the suffering churches around the

world. Twenty percent of all sales from the Dayfair will go to The Voice of the Martyrs to help provide food, shelter, clothing, medical assistance and Bible materials to Christians around the world who are persecuted, imprisoned, tortured and left homeless because of their faith. Dayfair co-chairs Marijo Phelps and Elizabeth Summeril hope for an enthusiastic turnout and want to make the event an annual highlight of the fall shopping season in Woodland Park. “We think Dayfair attendees will be pleasantly surprised at the exciting variety of high quality, reasonably priced items for sale,” Downs said. “This is a perfect opportunity to support local artists and craftsmen, while sending help to hurting believers on a global level.” — Special to the Courier

Photo by Stephanie Ogren probably in the Korean War. “Take off the mask, I can’t understand you,” I said to Max. He removed it and said, “that smells horrible! Why do you have to put that stuff in the microwave?” I explained that I had obtained the recipe from Pinterest and was using it to clean out the nasty device. He rolled his eyes and said, “Pinterest again?” He then put the gas mask back on the walked the rest of the way down the stairs, shaking his head. This weekend, I intend to get the front yard ready for Halloween. The boys are going to help me. I ran some decorating ideas by younger son Danny, 12. “Did you find this stuff on Pinterest?”

he asked, proving that the boys are on to me. They know these wild ideas are not my own. I put my head down. “Yes,” I said, feeling a bit ashamed that Pinterest had become such a crutch for me. I almost can’t even get dressed anymore without looking on the site for outfit ideas. I’m addicted, it’s true. But hey, it’s more healthy than some other addictions right?

New principal is enthusiastic Rexford’s biggest goal is to allow everyone to do their best By Pat Hill

phill@ourcoloradonews.com Former math teacher and assistant principal at Liberty High School in District 20 in Colorado Springs, Katie Rexford accepted a position as the new principal at Summit Elementary School in Divide. “I’m excited to be back at the elementaryschool level,” she said. As the new principal, Rexford will help launch the Common Core state standards this year. “The standards are written in a way that our teachers are allowed to have autonomy in how they present the standards,” she said. “Our teachers have tremendous talent in the classroom

and when you allow them to capitalize on what they’re good at, they are really good.” Rather than initiating change at the school, Rexford is taking it easy. “My biggest goal in working with the people here is to allow everyone else to do their best,” she said. “Find the areas they’re passionate about and allow them to excel. If I can bring all those talents to the forefront, that’s how Summit is going to shine.” A nine-year resident of Woodland Park, Rexford enjoys the outdoors with her husband, Todd, and their year-old son, Benjamin. “We enjoy being together,” she said. In the meantime, Rexford revels in the new position. “I just love Summit; it’s a tremendous community, wonderful kids, wonderful staff, wonderful parents,” she said. “I couldn’t have walked into a better situation.”

Children taught importance of exercise Physical activities incorporated into Summit Elementary students’ days By Pat Hill

phill@ourcoloradonews.com As children around the nation took part in Walk to School Day on Oct. 9, students at Summit Elementary School in Divide adapted to their rural open-space environment. “We’re focused on walking at school and encouraging kids to take extra steps,” said Katie Rexford, the school’s principal. Children at Summit are no slouches when it comes to exercise. “We look for multiple ways to incorporate activity in a meaningful way that students will continue to do on their own,” Rexford said. “We’re talking about kids who are active by being out in the woods and exploring. I just think exercise is tremendous for their selfesteem.” Just in case children don’t get the message about the importance of exercise, the school offers several programs to move them along the healthy path. “Fuel up to

enjoy and take pride in being outside and want to be part of the activities,” Rexford said. “Rarely do we see kids sitting on the bench during recess.” To stimulate brain activity, Summit provides two 15-minute recess periods. “We do try to find that balance between what we need to cover in class and the time we have in a school day,” she said. “Kids are not productive 90 minutes in a row.” Summit is included in the RE-2 School District Wellness program, designed and coordinated by Heidi Howard. “The purpose of the wellness program is to get kids moving,” Howard said. “With a little bit of exercise, brain cells are ready to learn.” To promote healthy eating throughout the district, Howard initiated Harvest of the Month. In October, there’s a focus on pears — the main ingredient in the bread served as a lunch supplement. “The bread is something new for the kids,” Rexford said. “I love the way Heidi incorporates the harvest into the cafeteria. So, it’s not just lunch, but we’re fueling our bodies. It’s a little nutrition education.” The Wellness program is funded by a $150,000 three-year grant to the district. “We want exercise to become part of their lifestyle,” Howard said.

Residents experience computer scam Calls that claim to be Microsoft bilk unsuspecting computer owners out of money By Pat Hill

phill@ourcoloradonews.com Carolyn Sparkman is mad enough about being scammed by callers who identified themselves as “Microsoft,” that she’s going public with her story. Sparkman, who lives in Teller County, is just one of several, perhaps dozens, of people in the area who received the same type of phone call. For those who believe the calls are from Microsoft, the scam is expensive, nearly $1,000, by the time it’s all over. “I had sent several error reports to Microsoft in the weeks prior to this phone call, so I was quite interested in what they had to say,” she said. The caller said Sparkman’s computer had been hacked and if the incident were not investigated further, the hard drive would crash. Wary at first, Sparkman asked for proof the caller was actually from Microsoft. “They took me through several steps to get into the administrative part of my computer and read to me a number, which they said no one but the owner of the computer and Microsoft would have,” she said. “They took me to another section so we could check on virus activity, which showed 30 errors and virus items.” Thoroughly frightened by now that she would lose her work, Sparkman was convinced the caller was for real. “I allowed access to my computer for them

to clean up the damage and remove all of the hackers’ spyware,” she said. “They told me the hackers had gained access through the internet connection, so chances were that my laptop computer was also damaged. So I allowed them to check my laptop as well. The cost for all of this and a five-year warranty was $525.” Sparkman wasn’t the only one scammed. Within a day, a friend reported that she had experienced the same thing. “We naturally thought that if somebody had hacked me, they could have accessed her as well,” Sparkman said. “She went through the same thing I had gone through. This was no short process ... it took hours to go through this cleanup process with them.” The friend also wanted her laptop cleaned, and asked if she could call them in the morning. “They were very nice and gave her their phone number, after paying them $525 for their services,” Sparkman said. “She called the next day and could not get through to them, so thinking she had written down the number incorrectly, she called Microsoft directly.” The people at Microsoft said the company never calls people directly. “Microsoft told her they had been through this with several people and for her to contact her credit card company,” Sparkman said. “They then did the necessary steps to clean up her computer — costing her another $150.” Rather than call Microsoft, Sparkman took her laptop, which had locked up, to The PC Shop in Woodland Park. “They repaired the damage for $200, cleaned my computer and provided me with

a lot of help on how to protect my computer,” she said. Nic Bovee, technician and store manager of the computer shop has encountered the scam from a lot of customers, he said. “People will get a call from someone in India, or someone with a Middle Eastern accent, claiming to be Microsoft,” he said. Somehow the scammers got the phone numbers of potential victims. “Most likely they got the numbers from the user entering information on the computer,” Bovee said. “It could be anything, even dinner reservations, with a phone number. They are tracking every keystroke you make.” If a user receives a call about computer viruses, Bovee recommends bringing the machine to a technician. “We can do scans and make sure everything checks out,” he said. “There’s a good chance there’s something running behind the scenes and sending off different keystrokes and numbers that look like phone numbers, i.e., yours.” Once the user gives out the credit card number, the caller delivers the viruses. “And they will continue to offer their services for a certain amount of money,” Bovee said. Bovee offers a word of advice. “Any program that says it will help your computer will most likely not,” he said. The scammers billed Sparkman’s credit card company under the name “ENETS,” from Singapore. “They take control of your computer through a software program called ‘LogMEin Rescue,’” she said. “I have told this story in hopes that public awareness might help catch these people and perhaps prevent this from happening to someone else.”

is about bringing a sense of calm to what has become a volatile environment without giving up the proven functionality of the services provided.” McArthur touts his knowledge of the town as one of his qualifications for the position. “The need is for a facilitator, not the CEO of a bank. GMF is landlocked with limited economic means,” he said. McArthur states that a town manager could strengthen the town government. “My office is spending about 20 percent more time performing the same functions we did two years ago as a result of the dysfunction at the board level in its attempt to deal with the displeased concerned citizens group,” he said. “At the staff level we have continued to show up for work and fight the good fight, because ‘right is right’ and the residents have paid for our services.” Since Newberry proposed the change in government, the Concerned Citizens have renewed their efforts at recalling two current trustees. They also have voiced discontent in the past with McArthur. The Courier’s attempts to reach the group’s leader, Dick Lackmond, were unsuccessful as he has undergone back surgery. However, over the past week, he expressed his opposition to the proposal.

Former planning commissioner weighs the issues

A check with Cameron Thorne, former member of the planning commission, is guardedly on the pro side while addressing concerns expressed by the con side “I am still learning about the

Rob McArthur, public works director in Green Mountain Falls. concept and structure of a town manager but at face value I think Rob would be eminently qualified for the position, based on his experience leading a municipal department, with grant writing and his network of contacts in county, state, and federal governments,” Thorne writes in an email. “I know Rob has his detractors that would rather see us conduct a national search for a ‘city manager’ with a public administration degree and a big price tag. It is my opinion that over-educated, philosophical bureaucrats are the cause of everything that is wrong with Washington today. We don’t need that here. If those people got their way, what would be next? A GMF government shutdown amid political brinksmanship? “But it’s not his public works experience that has convinced me to come out in public support of Rob. He has a knack for understanding the big picture, but is also just as comfortable in the details and mining through data. In his committee work, he had no trouble understanding the citizen-survey results, nor its implications for what we could and could not do,” he said.

If something needs done, Johnson does it. “I mowed the field at Aspen Valley Ranch in September for Mountain of the Sun mu-

sic festival,” he said. “Search and Rescue provided security and we had a medical unit set up during the festival.” This summer, Johnson was the face of TCSAR, who highlighted the organization’s mission at the Woodland Park Farmers’ Market. “We sold our T-shirts there as a fundraiser,” he said. Johnson emphasizes that the searchand-rescue services are free. “One of the worst things that can happen is for people to wait to call us because they think we charge,” he said.

Costs uncertain in 51st-state plan Secession might leave urban areas better off By Burt Hubbard

I-News at Rocky Mountain PBS Colorado could stand to benefit financially and would see some improvement in the educational and economic standings of its remaining citizens if 10 northeastern counties should make good on their threat to secede and carve out a new state of North Colorado. By those measures, Colorado’s attitude might be: Have fun out there, new state! But what’s left of Colorado would also lose half of its lucrative oil wells, much of its prime farmland and some of the lowest crime areas in the state. By those measures, Colorado’s attitude might be: Can’t we just all get along? In addition to the 10 northeast Colorado counties that have a secession vote on November’s ballot, Moffat County in far northwest Colorado also will vote on whether to leave. But Moffat apparently wants to become Baja Wyoming. I-News at Rocky Mountain PBS analyzed census, budget, crime and voter records to develop profiles of a new 51st state and a truncated Colorado. Suffice it to say, Colorado would no longer be considered a square state. And, of course, neither would

Wyoming, with its new Moffat County panhandle. Residents of the 11 counties will decide next month whether to start the fraughtwith-difficulty political journey to leave Colorado and, in the case of the northeast counties, become a new state. West Virginia was the last state to manage such a separation, in 1863, during the Civil War, a move validated solely by a proclamation from President Lincoln, according to a state website. It isn’t that easy today. One impediment: Colorado and both house of the U.S. Congress would have to agree. But proponents of secession said rural Coloradans are tired of having unpopular laws like stronger gun control and mandatory alternative energy standards forced on them by a Front Range-dominated state Legislature. “What has happened is the urbanization of America has disenfranchised the rural population,” said Jeffrey Hare, one of the organizers of the 51st State Initiative.

Bills caused anger

John Straayer, political science professor at Colorado State University, said bills from the last legislative session appear to have aroused animosity toward the legislature. “In terms of the immediate trigger, guns and probably SB 252 (requiring use of alternative energy resources),” Straayer said.

“They allege that it is more than that, not being treated properly by the Legislature on a variety of issues for a long time.” The eventual exodus, if the constitutional minefield could be navigated, would create a North Colorado of about 336,000 people, supplanting Wyoming as the least populous state in the U.S. It would leave Colorado with about 4.7 million residents, dropping it to the 23rd most populous state behind Alabama. One of the key questions is the financial viability of a new state and its impact on the remainder of Colorado. Financially, state government in Colorado would probably come out ahead if the 11 counties left, according to I-News estimates of how much revenue the state receives from the counties compared to expenditures there. The counties generate between $360 million and $400 million yearly for the state in sales tax, state income tax and the state’s share of vehicle registration fees. That accounts for about three-fourths of the revenue Colorado receives from those counties each year from taxes and fees. Extrapolating forward, that would be the equivalent of between $500 million and $560 million in revenue lost to the state from the 11 counties. On the other side of the ledger, the state spends about $520 million in the 11 counties for K-12 school funding, incarcerating criminals from the counties, provid-

ing Medicaid, running the courts and the state’s share of running one university and three community colleges. Those costs equal about 84 percent of the state’s overall general fund spending in the secession-voting counties. Extrapolating forward, that would come to total spending of about $620 million. Bottom line: Colorado spends between about $60 million and $120 million or more per year in the 11 counties than the revenue it receives. “There’s still a lot of (state) money coming back to these counties,” said Brian Lewandowski, economist with the Leeds Business School at the University of Colorado at Boulder. By comparison, a similar analysis of Denver showed the county provides more tax and fee revenue to the state than it gets back in state funding for programs. “You’ve got densely populated areas where there is a lot of wealth like Denver County and Douglas County,” said Lewandowski.

Figures in dispute

However, advocates of secession disagree with the I-News analysis and point to their own report that shows the counties break even with state government on spending and revenue. Plan continues on Page 15

A brief history of skiing: It was transportation By Metro Creative Connection Millions of people flock to snow-covered mountains each and every year to experience the thrill of skiing. Resort towns cater to men, women and children who enjoy cascading along the fresh powder to test their skills on the slopes. Skiing is no longer relegated only to those resorts that have fresh snow. Resorts with the ability to manufacture snow can now cater to skiers regardless of the weather Skiing can trace its origins to what is now Norway and Sweden. Cave paintings dating back to 5000 B.C. illustrate a skier with one pole in the Nordland region of Norway, while remnants of a primitive ski were found in Hoting, Sweden. The term “ski” was actually derived from the Norse word “skio,” meaning “split piece of wood.” It is generally believed skiing evolved from snowshoeing, and the ski poles were developed from the walking sticks snowshoers used for balance. Skiing was initially a method of efficient transportation over the snow. The first skis were likely similar to the cross-country skis used today. Skiing as a sport came much later, and it wasn’t until the mid- to late-19th century that downhill skiing developed. Various engineers created bindings that enabled skiers to ski without the risk of losing their skis. Sondre Norheim of Norway is credited as one of the first developers of a downhill ski that enabled him to win the first Norwegian downhill competition. Mathias Zdarsky and Hannes Schneider were two other innovators that made subtle changes to Norheim’s designs, develop-

The differences between the two analyses involved spending figures on K-12 education, revenue from the state income tax and severance taxes from oil and gas development. Gov. John Hickenlooper’s office had no comment on what financial impact the secession would have on Colorado. The I-News analysis did not examine how much money the counties currently receive directly from oil and gas operations. That’s money that would help run a new state. More than half of Colorado’s oil and gas wells would reside in the new state, mostly in Weld. “It’s pretty amazing the amount of dollars that it generates,” Lewandowsk said. Weld County alone gets 55 percent of its property tax revenue from exploration. That has resulted in a current $100 million county contingency fund and no debt, said Weld County Commissioner Sean Conway, a leading proponent of secession who previously was chief of staff to former U.S. Sen. Wayne Allard, R-Colo. During the recent flooding, the county was able to reopen its roads on its own. “We’ve done this on our own,” Conway said. “We haven’t got help from the state.” Not all politicians in Weld County want to secede. Tom Norton, the mayor of Greeley and former Republican president of the state Senate, wrote in a column in The Greeley Tribune last summer that, while some state decisions have hurt rural Colorado, collaboration with the state, not secession, is the solution. Demographically and politically, the two states — North Colorado and Colorado — would look quite different, the I-News analysis showed. North Colorado would be predominantly Republican, with the fifth highest ratio of Republicans to Democrats in the U.S. Meanwhile, Democrats in Colorado would outnumber Republicans for the first time in years. “We would have a red state and a blue state,” Straayer said.

Education disparity

The would-be exiting counties are generally poorer and less educated than the rest of Colorado, according to Census data. College education levels in North Colorado

Skiing became more competitive when the first slalom races took place in 1921 in Switzerland. Skiing was later included as a sport at the 1924 Winter Olympic Games in Chamonix, France, where ski jumping and crosscountry skiing were introduced as events. Jacob Tullin Thams of Norway was the first Olympic ski jumping champion. The silver medal was awarded to Narve Bonna of Norway and the bronze went to Anders Haugen of the United States.

would be on par with those of Tennessee and Oklahoma, while college graduation rates would rise in Colorado to the second highest in the nation. North Colorado would have among the lowest crime rates in the nation, ranking from fifth to 11th lowest among states for rape, robbery, burglary and car theft. Colorado’s overall crime rates would go up, with motor vehicle theft rates almost three times higher than those of the 51st state. North Colorado would have a higher percentage of families among its households, be younger on average and have a higher percentage of Latinos. In fact, the new state would have the sixth highest percentage of Hispanics in the U.S. But its black population would only be about 1 percent, the fifth lowest in the U.S. And then, of course, there are the issues of marijuana and tornadoes. Legal pot would stop at old Colorado’s borders. About half of the state’s tornados touch down every year in the counties that would leave Colorado. Even if approved by the counties involved, secession would appear to remain a long shot, as it would require both Colorado and federal approval. State ratification could come in a citizens’ initiative — such as the one that legalized recreational marijuana — in a referred ballot measure from the legislature, or in an act of the legislature, said Richard Collins, professor at the University of Colorado School of Law. If that happened, it would then need approval by both houses of Congress. In the meantime, the effort has drawn national publicity and its share of political quips. Last month, when Hickenlooper was looking at flood damage in Julesburg, which would be part of the new state, he assured officials there that all Colorado would be working together to overcome the disaster, before quipping, “then you all can get back to seceding.” And Conway could not resist a dig at his two least favorite counties when talking about interest in secession being voiced elsewhere — including in some counties not involved in the current effort. “When we’re done, we might be voting Denver and Boulder off the island.” I-News is the public service journalism arm of Rocky Mountain PBS and collaborates with news outlets across Colorado.

Reynolds Ranch Harvest Festival a big hit Western Museum of Mining and Industry was site of annual event By Danny Summers

Dsummers@ourcoloradonews.com The Western Museum of Mining and Industry hosted the annual Reynolds Ranch Harvest Festival on Oct. 11 and 12. It celebrated the pioneer farming and ranching spirit that led so many to come to Colorado, and helped shape the towns of Husted and Colorado Springs. The weekend’s festivities included a pumpkin patch, hayrides, pioneer games, live music, food and drinks, a farmer’s market, animals, hands-on activities and crafts for the children, operating outdoor and indoor steam-powered machinery, “Spooky Histories” in the museum’s exhibit building, limited daylight tours of the Haunted Mines and early Christmas shopping. Historic tractor displays were also on display.

The Reynolds Ranch Harvest Festival featured donkeys that guests could pet and feed.

All Breed Rescue and Training was at the Reynolds Ranch Harvest Festival in an effort to get pets sponsored and adopted.

These dogs hunt Search and rescue training event to bring out dogs, handlers By Pat Hill

phill@ourcoloradonews.com

oodland Park becomes an exploratory area the weekend of Nov. 9 and 10. With at least 18 dogs and handlers from Search and Rescue Dogs of Colorado, the city turns into one big search site, with people hiding in simulated situations. The exercises are part of certification process hosted by the search and rescue operation, with Woodland Park serving as this session’s training ground. Barbi Atkins is a member of both SARDOC and Teller County Search and Rescue who is training her 3-year-old Weimaraner, Molly. An experienced handler, Atkins shares her skills at the two-day training event. “I love watching the dogs work,” she said. “We send subjects out and send the dog to find them.” The dogs will be “hunting” for people throughout the community, including the high school, Aspen Valley Ranch, Foxworth-Galbraith, the Woodland Park Community Church and neighborhoods around Memorial Park.

The dogs are not seasoned hunters, but rather are learning the ropes in the search for lost people. “It’s not hard to train a dog, but it’s time-consuming — takes patience,” Atkins said. “Most of us train at least once a week.” The handlers begin with the “runaway” caper. “If I’m going to be the handler and it’s my dog, then I run away because the dog is bonded to me,” Atkins said. In this initial exercise, another handler attaches a bell and a harness to the dog. From there, the handler hooks the dog up to a long lead. “And then I run away about 25 to 30 feet,” Atkins said. To begin the search, the handler gives the dog a scent along with the command, usually “find.” The dogs are clueless in the beginning. “It’s really amazing but they do start to put it together,” Atkins said. “Once you think they have it, you run away and hide behind a tree.” At this point, the dogs learn to put their noses to the ground and follow the scent. “Once they learn the game, then you are not the subject anymore,” Atkins said. With the November exercise, the dogs follow a scent that leads to the subject’s trail. “We’re all like little pig

Therefore, if a dog can cut a trail; we try to train the dogs to go to the freshest scent.” On the other hand, Atkins’ dog Molly is certified as an air-scent dog and trained to clear an area where the

subject may have gotten lost. “The area can be divided into sections,” Atkins said. Next month’s exercise is focused entirely on urban searches. “We’re searching more in the city, in buildings,” Atkins said. “Our mission is to get to the person as fast as possible,” she said.

There’s no shortage of ghosts in Cripple Creek A web search will yield many results about local hauntings By Danny Summers

Dsummers@ourcoloradonews.com This is the time of year that seems to bring out the best in ghost story tellers, ghost hunters and ghost lovers. And since there appears to be no shortage of ghosts in Cripple Creek, one doesn’t need to stray too far to see to be entertained. Ghost story tellers are a dime a dozen in the district. Many of them give tours of the area or run websites devoted to alleged paranormal activity. There are even those who produce films on the subject. A Google search will turn up many links to alleged paranormal activity in the district. Many of the sites are quite entertaining. According to the website mountainpeakparanormal.wordpress.com, the Outlaw and Lawmen Jail Museum, 136 W. Bennett Ave., is a great ghost hangout. The basement level is the area that seems to attract the most ghost hunters. In the northwest corner is a room with a coal chute that was used to store the coal for the old boiler. It is now used for storage. In the northeast corner is a small room

and as a temporary morgue. Apparently, some of these old guests never got a proper burial and have refused to relocate. The old Palace Hotel and Casino, 172 E. Bennett Ave., seemed to be a place that ghosts loved to haunt. According to the Southwest Ghost Hunters Association, the Palace Hotel was haunted by the ghost of one of the original owners, Miss Kitty Chambers. Chambers, according to SGHA. net, “likes to keep candles lit and placed in certain spots, just as they were when the Palace Hotel first opened” in the late 1890s. She is often spotted in Room 3, along with several other “unworldly” guests. Other reported activity in the hotel, according to the site, involved ghosts of a “blind piano player, a short fat man and a tall woman.” People also reported feeling as if “they were nudged” when they walked down the stairs. The website hauntedhouses.com adds a little more flavor to the hotel’s rich ghost history. The website states that a woman has been seen looking out the second floor window on the end, peering at the activity in the street, probably wondering when the living were going to come to her hotel again. It is thought to be Kitty, but it may also be another entity as well. Perhaps Kitty has some company? According to the website hauntedcolorado.net, the Last Dollar Inn, 315 E. Carr Ave., is one of the noisiest places in town when it comes to paranormal activity. Several guests have reported hearing a “phantom train” while staying in the back rooms. Guests of the Last Dollar Inn have also heard unexplained footsteps in the hallway. On occasion, it has been reported that there is an appearance of a ghost-child sitting at the desk in one of the bedrooms. Owners of the hotel have had multiple ex-

periences with an “invisible phantom that likes to sit in the window seat of a second floor bedroom.” In addition, there have been reports of a mysterious ghost of a train conductor seen in the living room. The Last Dollar Inn is under renovation, so perhaps the ghosts have fled to other parts of the city and will return when it reopens. Coloradoghosts.com also tells the story of strange happenings at the Imperial Hotel and Casino, 123 N. Third St. Some people have reported seeing a “man falling down the stairs” or a “young lady walking by wearing clothing from the 1800s.” Additionally, there have been reports of slot machines playing by themselves. The website legendsofamerica.com is chock-full of juicy nuggets about ghosts of Cripple Creek. The Hotel St. Nicholas, 303 N. Third St. — originally built as a hospital in the late 1890s — is home to a number of spirits, “including nuns, children and former mental patients of the hospital’s mental ward.” The most often seen ghost is one referred to as “Stinky,” who has been reported to lurk in the back staircase of the old hospital, making his presence known with a “sewage-like smell.” Bronco Billy’s Casino, 239-243 E. Bennett Ave., according to Legends of America, has the ghost of “Lilly” roaming its halls and rooms. Lilly is a 6-year-old girl who often plays with other little children, and she particularly likes “purple balloons.” Lilly is a friendly little girl who has “sometimes been seen sitting on stairs, cradling a rag doll in her arms.” She also has an artistic side, as her drawings, numbers and letters have been found “in the hallway at the top of the staircase.” The drawings are said to reappear, even after the walls are scrubbed down.

Victor Hotel spirits in the bird cage, down the hall By Rob Carrigan

rcarrigan@ourcoloradonews.com At 9,700 feet elevation on the south flank of Pikes Peak, winters are tough in Victor, even today. But in its boom times of over 100 years ago, absent the modern conveniences of backhoe, a person passing from this world into another, might have to wait for spring (or perhaps summer) until the ground was soft enough to be buried. Stories have it, that out of convenience, bodies waited for the thaw out in what is now the fourth floor of the Victor Hotel. “It is apparently many of these long dead Victor residents that haunt the historic hotel today,” according to Legends of America. “Though seemingly harmless, several people have witnessed the site of disembodied apparitions on the fourth floor. Reports include what look like doctors and patients, sometimes without arms, legs and even heads, moving about this place that once acted as a ‘holding cell’ for the dead.” The fourth floor functioned as a hospital of sorts, where medical staff performed operations such as an emergency appendectomy as early as 1906. Lowell Thomas’ father, physician H.G. Thomas maintained his office in the building as well. On the main floor, banks such as the First National Bank of Victor and later City Bank operated along side, at various times, grocery stores, restaurants, Barrett’s Furniture, the Colorado Telephone Company and Western Union Telegraph in the building. City Bank failed in the 1930s. After years of neglect, the Hotel underwent an extensive renovation in 1991 and 1992 under the direction of new owners rep-

resented by Marjoe D. Bandimere of Arvada. But the ghosts from the fourth floor are apparently not alone according to local folklore. “Our most famous ghost is Eddie, who lived in the Victor Hotel, Room 301 during the early part of the 1900s,” says the hotel’s web site. “Eddie worked in the mines wearing his heavy, steel-toed work boots. One night Eddie got up in the wee hours of the morning and pressed the Bird Cage elevator to go down. When the doors opened. Eddie got in, but there wasn’t an elevator there. He fell to his death and was later laid out for viewing in his room. Today, our 106-year-old Bird Cage elevator door’s open and close and at times the elevator goes up to the third floor without anyone touching the buttons. The elevator never stops on the second or fourth floors at these times, only the third. Eddie is still trying to get the elevator up to the third! Eddie is heard walking the halls at all hours of the night. Many times the guests have been awakened by loud footsteps in the hall. Upon looking out the door, no one is there.” But that is not end of the spirit business in the historic building. “Other guests have seen Charlie, who wears a black hat, torn jeans and a plaid shirt. Charlie is very friendly ghost who appears to be about 60-years-old and seems to have a good sense of humor. During the Christmas season of 2003, a young woman was seen several times in the lobby late at night walking around observing the decorations. She was seen on nights when absolutely no one was even checked into the hotel,” according to the hotel’s literature.

Opinions of Halloween not only vary from person to person, but from family to family. Some people think Halloween is to be avoided at all costs because of its origins, whereas others will tell you that they feel it is harmless fun for children and adults to enjoy. Halloween is often thought of as an American holiday. However, in most areas of the world, a holiday that mimics Halloween and pursues the same purpose as Halloween, exists. What is that purpose? The Encyclopedia of American Folklore puts it this way, “Halloween is integrally related to the prospect of contact with spiritual forces, many of which threaten or frighten.” In addition to this underlying idea of Halloween, nearly every aspect of Halloween has some origins that most are unaware of. The tradition of wearing costumes is linked to the Celts who would wear masks that appeared frightening. The goal was scaring evil spirits so they would not bother them. Of course the costumes that are popular today such as witches, vampires, zombies and werewolves are all creatures that have been

Carved pumpkins have an origin with carved turnips. These turnips were also carved and lit by candle and were then put on display with the goal of keeping evil spirits away or repelling them. Some even believed that the candle inside of the turnip was representative of a soul trapped in “purgatory.” One sweet Halloween origin revolves around candy disbursement. Again originating with the Celts, candy was used as a way to gain the favor of wicked spirits. It was later encouraged for those that took part in the holiday to go door to door asking for food in return for a prayer for the dead. Born of this, is the trick or treat tradition that everyone is familiar with.

The ghost of Frank Vincent and other phenomena By Sandi Austin

saustin@ourcoloradonews.com As the setting sun cast shadows over the Los Angeles cemetery, Jari Mikkola was gathering up his homework when he first saw her. The crying woman walked past him and toward a mausoleum. She opened the door and walked inside, closing the door behind her. Being the good 12-year-old Boy Scout that he was, Mikkola followed the obviously distraught woman there to offer comfort, but she was gone. Two weeks later the same thing happened. Mikkola followed the woman into the same mausoleum and tried to capture her image with his Brownie camera, but it was to no avail. He never saw her again. The cemetery was a place of refuge for Mikkola in those earlier years after his father died. It was a peaceful place for contemplation – and homework. The cemetery was also the place that sparked his interest in paranormal happenings, prompting him to write about his experiences in a journal. Years later Mikkola founded the “In the Shadows Paranormal Project” research and investigation group while living in Brighton. That project has grown with its reputation and professionalism, and is operated by The Denver Chapter. They conduct investigations in the Denver Metro and Front Range areas as well as in Florida. Currently living at his second residence in The Hague, Netherlands, as an independent contractor for IBM, Mikkola began doing serious paranormal research from there and formed his international team. “Paranormal activity is anything that you can’t explain,” Mikkola said during a Skype webcam interview. “ Ninety-five percent of the time, there is an explanation of an anomalous occurrence. It could be creaky doors or wood expanding. When we go out, I try not to give the team any information on what to expect. It predisposes them to suggestion. This way the investigation is totally objective, and that’s the key.”

When someone enlists the help of paranormal investigators, it’s after experiencing strange events such as moving objects, odd sounds or voices, being touched or visual apparitions. “One case we had was a Littleton woman who came to one of our meetings and had questions about poltergeists – catalysts usually associated with teen females,” Mikkola recalled. “Quite upset, she called us at 1 a.m. one night after her sofa was turned over and all the pictures on the wall were knocked off. We went immediately to her house.” Mikkola sensed two things right away – there was an entity in the house, but it wasn’t the entity that disturbed the sofa and pictures. The teenage daughter did it because she was angry with her mother. During the investigation, though, Mikkola learned that the actual entity in the house was making itself known to the 6-yearold daughter in her bedroom. She told him things that she never shared with her mother. “Children are more apt to see apparitions or ghosts,” Mikkola said. “They are able to sense things that adults generally refer to as the child’s imaginary friend. The children are actually talking to an entity or spirit.” According to Mikkola, there are two types of hauntings – interactive and residual. In an interactive haunting, an entity will actually answer questions. Mikkola added that personal questions – such as “how did you die” or “did you know you’re dead?” – should never be asked of interactive entities. They may become offended and simply go away. In a residual haunting, an entity will play itself over and over again. This usually occurs in an area high in iron oxide. A good example of such a place is Red Rocks, Mikkola stated. “During one of our investigations, we were in the basement of the Red Rocks trading post where a lot of activity had been reported by employees,” Mikkola

Leap Castle in Ireland, site of many famous hauntings. said. “We found out that there was a flash flood in the late 1800s that killed some children. Employees had been experiencing children’s laughter and voices.” After being shown the location of the voices, Mikkola turned on his recorder while standing next to a jar of candy canes. When he played it back later, he could hear a child saying, “I want some candy, Mister.” One of Mikkola’s more memorable locations in Colorado is the town of Morrison. Numerous characters of the haunts in the area provided Mikkola’s team with plenty of fodder for investigation. Mikkola and his team have been to The Cliff House Inn – a bed and breakfast formerly called Morrison Inn – two times because of the paranormal activity reported there. During the second visit the team was packing up equipment at 2 a.m. when everyone’s EMFs (electromagnetic field meters) started going off. “People have experienced seeing an

image of a man with a peg leg and half an arm,” Mikkola said. “We got the sensation that the man lived in one of the bungalows. A maid reported seeing the man’s image by the garbage and said he then always went into the basement.” The team went into the basement and searched through all the items that had ever been stored there. Among them were old photos of a soldier – before and after he lost his limbs – and what was left of an actual artificial limb made of leather and wood. The team took photos of the items and later learned through their investigation that the soldier whose apparition appears in the middle of the night was actually Frank Vincent, an American Doughboy of World War I. Although most paranormal investigations are not frightening or threatening to Vincent continues on Page 21

CANCER (Jun 21 to July 22) New information about a past decision raises some unsettling questions from an old friend. Be prepared to explain your actions fully and, if necessary, to make adjustments. LEO (July 23 to Aug 22) This is not a good time to share personal secrets, even with someone you’ve known for a long while. What you don’t reveal now won’t come back to haunt you later.

Trained and ready Teller County Sheriff ’s deputies prepare for duty By Cynthia Sipes

Contributing writer At the Double Tree Hotel in Colorado Springs on Sept. 23, stood 40 newly sworn in deputies. They are the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office graduating class of 2013. Not all of the deputies will serve in El Paso County; one is a deputy from Teller County, Deputy William Sipes. Why is there a Teller County deputy in the mix? There is a professional courtesy between Teller County and El Paso County sheriff offices that allow Teller County to send two of their officers to the academy for each rotation. In order for an officer to be considered for the academy, he or she must have worked in the Teller County Jail for a minimum of one year and meet seniority criteria.The cost of the academy is paid for by the deputy; however, Teller County contin-

ues to pay their salary as they attend the five-month training.There is an agreement signed in advance by the officer, stating that they will remain with Teller County Sheriff’s office for a minimum of three years. If the contract is broken, the deputy will be legally bound to return all salary received during their training at the academy. The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office holds an academy once every four months.Teller County has two officers in the current class and looks to have two more in the January 2014 session. To be considered Police Officer Standards and Training certified, all participants must pass firearms by 100 percent, defensive tactics by 80 percent, driving 100 percent and the written test by 70 percent or better. Sheriff Mike Ensminger stated that Teller County deputies average in the high 80’s to low 90’s. He stated that local hires tend to be their best hires and do well at the academy. In Teller County, in order for a deputy to be on patrol or transport

prisoners, they must be POST certified. If someone has worked law enforcement in the recent past and can pass the POST certified test, they attend a “mini academy” which lasts two weeks. The training doesn’t stop there for Teller County deputies. Each team attends ongoing training twice a month. These trainings include CPR/first aid, civil trainings — such as sexual harassment — and certifications — which are learning about tasers, firearms and pepper spray. Once a deputy has been moved to patrol, he or she goes through the Field Training Officer program. This is seven weeks, where the deputy works with a seasoned partner. This training includes day and night training. Ensminger say Teller County Sheriff’s Office is hiring.The process includes background check, physical ability and written tests. If interested in working for the Sheriff’s Office, applications are available at the Sheriff’s Office in Divide or http://www. co.teller.co.us/sheriff/.

Insider tips for winter travel Metro Creative Connection

Winter has much to offer the eager traveler, including smaller crowds and entirely new scenery to admire. Cooler weather can make sightseeing more enjoyable, as it is often easier to warm up than cool down. Although the summer season is popular for travel, the winter months also are a busy time to get away, and being prepared can make traveling go that much smoother. The following are some traveling tips for those who can’t wait to get out of the house this winter. • Expect some setbacks.You never know what kind of weather you may encounter during your trip, therefore be ready to make changes at a moment’s notice. Always check flight status or other travel information before leaving home. Weather may delay flights or cause cancellations, so have an alternative plan available if the weather foils the trip. • Avoid nonrefundable tickets. If weather causes a cancellation, nonrefundable or nonexchangeable tickets can cost you money. Try to get the best price possible on tickets while still affording yourself the opportunity to amend travel plans if need be.

the team members, there are those that can make the neck hairs stand up. According to Mikkola, palaces, hospitals, insane asylums, old prisons and battlefields are examples of locations that have had the most trauma and are more likely to have intense paranormal activity. An investigation at the Leap Castle in Ireland was one of the more frightening experiences for Mikkola and his team. The castle had been undergoing reconstruction when workers experienced unexplained happenings to the point where they began abandoning their jobs.

• Book early. Ski resorts are quite popular in the winter, and reservations tend to fill up fast. If you hope to ski or snowboard, make a reservation as early as possible and then shop around for flights or aternative travel methods. If you prefer smaller crowds, plan a trip to a destination that caters more to warm weather activities. Visiting a seaside town or national park can still be beautiful and fulfilling in the winter. • Get a physical. Visit the doctor and be sure you are up-to-date with all immunizations. Now might be the time to get a flu shot, as traveling in close proximity to others during the wintertime increases your risk of contracting an airborne virus. Getting vaccinated can prevent illness from ruining your trip. • Pack accordingly. With ﬁckle weather you may have to pack a number of different wardrobe options to remain comfortable. Check the weather and the extended forecast for your destination. Include a number of clothing pieces that can be layered so you will remain cozy outdoors. Bring along comfortable walking shoes, but also pack a pair of winter boots in case the weather turns wet or snowy.

• Purchase travel insurance. Many people prefer to safeguard their travel investments with the purchase of travel insurance. While there are a number of companies to contact, insurance also may be offered through your credit card company provided you use that card to finance the trip. Should you need to cancel a trip for weather or illness, travel insurance can protect your financial outlay and you may get a refund for the full price of the trip. Vacation insurance plans also may include enhanced emergency medical coverage, trip interruption coverage due to professional obligations or involuntary job loss, or 24-hour travel assistance services. • Pack something to protect yourskin. Cold weather doesn’t mean you don’t need to protect your skin from the elements. The cold wind and winter sun are still powerful enough to cause damage. Wear ample sunscreen when traveling outdoors, and use a moisturizer to combat cold, dry air. Although many people flock to warmer climates in the winter, embracing the snow and chilly air and visiting a cool-weather destination can make for an ideal trip.

Leap Castle is known to be the site of horrific torture and death of more than 300 people and is reputed to be haunted because of its extremely bloody history of murder and evil. The dungeon of the castle had a drop floor that, when opened, hurled prisoners to their deaths on spikes in the room below. Its reputation is so strong that the local people avoid it at night. Mikkola’s team had set up cameras in the dungeon area to begin their investigation of Leap Castle. One of the cameramen was going down the ladder into the hole, cables draped around his shoulders. They were about to go live when the camera started to fail. When the cameraman reached the halfway point on the ladder, something pushed it to the other side of the hole.

“He started screaming bloody murder,” Mikkola said. A wind gust of about 30 to 40 miles per hour came through there for about 15 seconds, during which time everyone was hollering at the cameraman to get out. When he finally reached the others, he pushed everyone out of his way in a frantic motion. “We felt uneasy there and decided to leave,” Mikkola said. “We were worried we were going to get hurt in that environment.” According to Mikkola, the objective of paranormal investigation is to sort through the riff-raff and decide what is an authentic case. Five percent of cases turn out to be authentic. “Of that 5 percent, there’s that one percent that will knock your socks off and that’s why I do it!”

Panthers’ softball season ends at regionals Woodland Park falls short of advancing to state By Danny Summers

Dsummers@ourcoloradonews.com Woodland Park’s run at a state softball championship ended Oct. 12 at Four Diamond Sports Complex in Colorado Springs. The Panthers saw their 10-game winning streak come to an end with losses to Thompson Valley, 7-3, and Green Mountain, 6-5, in the Class 4A regional tournament on a chilly and windy day. “From the beginning our energy wasn’t there,” said Woodland Park junior second baseman Lexie Comer. “We thought it was there, but it wasn’t. “In the Widefield game (Sept. 26 for the league championship) people were flying around and jumping. That part wasn’t here today. That kind of energy brings everybody’s game to a whole new level.” Woodland Park, the 21st seed, never led against No. 12 Thompson Valley, falling behind 7-0 after five innings. The Panthers’ defense was shaky as they committed three errors behind pitcher Mallorie Trichell, who allowed a pair of home runs among the nine hits she surrendered. Woodland Park scored three runs in the bottom of the seventh. The Panthers had just six hits as a team — their lowest output since Sept. 7 when they had five against Falcon during a 6-5 loss. “When people hit home runs or got on base we kind of panicked a little bit and didn’t really stick to the fact that we wanted to be here,” said Woodland Park senior Rebecca Roulette. “

Mallorie Trichell delivers a pitch for Woodland Park against Green Mountain during a Class 4A regional game Oct. 12 at Four Diamond Sports Complex in Colorado Springs. Comer had two doubles, a triple and three RBIs against No. 28 Green Mountain. As a team, Woodland Park had eight hits in the elimination game. “We couldn’t string hits together and we left 10 on base that game,” Comer said. Woodland Park had plenty of opportunities to tie the score or tally a go-ahead run against Green Mountain. In the bottom of the sixth the Panthers had runners on first and second with one out, but could

not move them around. “Once one of us hits we all just keep hitting and hitting,” said Woodland Park junior Brenna Peters, whose two-out double in the bottom of the seventh gave the Panthers a glimmer of hope. “We just couldn’t get the domino affect going today. Once one girl got on we’d have two people strike out and get a ground out. “It’s just too bad we couldn’t get everyone going at once.”

No Woodland Park players or coaches offered excuses for the team’s lackluster play. But they found it difficult to find a reason why they were less-spirited than at probably any point this season. “We’ve gotten here three years because we’ve wanted it, but once we get here it seems like nobody wants it,” Trichell said. “That’s just one thing the girls really need to work on next year. Finishing the year as strong as you start.” Woodland Park has advanced to the regionals three consecutive years, but has lost all six of its playoff games. “We have to figure out how to get over that hurdle somehow,” said Woodland Park coach Dale Huntington. “We have to figure out how to win when it’s getting down to crunch time. Obviously we haven’t figured that out. “We’ll give these guys a break and go to work in early spring. It means we have to pound them that much harder, I guess.” Comer and Peters, along with fellow junior Jeanette Worscheck, and sophomores Chrissy Cunningham and Morgan Suggs, figure to be the team leaders next season. Cunningham said the team’s goal is to get back to regionals. “Like coach Dale said, we have to wake up good in the morning and we can’t be grumpy and we have to have a good breakfast,” Cunningham said. “We have to start with energy and be pumped from the beginning.” Added Peters: “Next year we can always improve and go even farther. We can do better. We always can.” Woodland Park posted a 16-5 record this season and won its first league championship since 1999.

Woodland Park is 5-2 after 23-20 victory over Mitchell By Danny Summers

Dsummers@ourcoloradonews.com The Woodland Park football team spent early Saturday morning at Four Diamond Softball Complex in Colorado Springs cheering on the school’s softball team. The Panthers then boarded a bus and drove 15 minutes to Garry Berry Stadium, where they proceeded to defeat Mitchell, 23-20, in their Class 3A South Central League opener. “Mitchell is a good team,” said Woodland Park coach Joe Roskam. “This is a team that Harrison beat 188, and then we beat Harrison 35-18. “(Mitchell) gave us a run right down to the end. It was crazy.” The Panthers (5-2, 1-0) got strong efforts from their usual suspects on offense. Sophomore quarterback Cecil Cox completed 5 of 9 passes for 70 yards and a touchdown; a 31-yard pass to Logan Watters on a fourthand-15 situation early in the second quarter. Cox also rushed for 32 yards on 13 carries, including a 7-yard touchdown run with 11 seconds remaining in the second quarter to propel Woodland Park to a 20-12 halftime lead. Senior running back Josh Smith had 65 yards on 11 carries; including a 1-yard touchdown run less than three minutes into the game to give the Panthers a 7-0 lead. Junior running back Dylan Schaller-Ward had a team-high 76 yards on seven carries. He had a 42yard run that set up Smith’s touchdown scamper. Senior running back Weston Shutts had 27 yards on five carries, including a long run of 18 yards. While Woodland Park may not have been spectacular offensively, the Panthers’ defense stepped up and put in a solid effort, though to a player they felt as if there is room for

His 20-yard field goal - his first make of the season with 4:29 remaining in the fourth broke a 20-20 deadlock. “I missed an extra point earlier in the game so I was determined to make the field goal,” Herman said. “It’s exciting.” Herman had never played football before this season. A soccer player, he was encouraged over the summer by Roskam to try out for the team. Had Herman not come out, Cox would have handled the kicking duties “(Roskam) asked me to do it and I said `Sure, I’d love to,’” Herman said. “I like the energy around football. People are into football a lot more than soccer around here. It’s exciting.”

The Panthers’ schedule does not get any easier. They host Coronado (8-0, 2-0) and Discovery Canyon (61, 1-0) the next two weeks. Woodland Park finishes the season Oct. 31 at Lewis-Palmer (2-6, 0-2). “We have to do everything better,” Roskam said. “Coronado doesn’t do anything tricky. They do what (Mitchell) does. We just have to get better. We have to stop the run and force them to throw. “Coronado just opens it up and pounds on you. That’s what we’re going to get. We’re going to get a whole bunch of it here real soon.” Shutts added that Woodland Park will have to have a complete team effort to be competitive the state’s top teams in Coronado and Discovery Canyon. “We have to make sure our linemen don’t get moved around; we have to make sure our coverage is sound outside and stick to our responsibilities,” Shutts said. “It’s all about practice. When we practice good in a week we play good. Our practices need to be great.”

Cross country regionals set for this week Cripple Creek-Victor wins big volleyball match By Danny Summers

Dsummers@ourcoloradonews.com The cross country season hasn’t exactly gone according to plan for Woodland Park coach Ron Payton and his team. A rash of injuries, coupled with slower than expected times by the healthy runners, has led to some frustration. “It’s been terribly rough season for the girls,” Payton said. “We’ve had some injuries that have really hurt us. It’s just the luck of the draw.” The girls were expected to compete for a top 10 spot at this year’s Class 4A state meet. But now it looks like they might not even qualify. “We’re in the back half of every race we’re in,” Payton said. “That’s a total sur-

prise. We finished 16th of 24 teams at the Doherty Invitational. I never would have guessed that.” Senior Savannah Ebhert has battled knee and shin injuries and has raced just twice this season. Senior Michaela McDonough has yet to run an event. She just got out of walking boot last week. Junior Lexi Harrison missed the first month with a variety of injuries. All three girls were a key part of Woodland Park’s team that finished 15th at state in 2012. “Michaela is tough as nails,” Payton said. “She is such a competitor. Hopefully she can run at regionals.” The top performing girls this season have been seniors Anne Fisher and Briana Austin. On Oct. 11, the girls finished second at the Metro League meet, led by Harrison’s fifth-place finish. Payton is hoping to have his team at full strength for today’s state-qualifying regional meet at Pueblo City Park. The top four

teams advance to the state meet. Payton figures the strongest competition will come from Coronado, Cheyenne Mountain, Pueblo South, Canon City and Pueblo West. “We’re going to have to run a really good race to get one of those spots,” Payton said. “It’s going to be a long shot.” The Panthers’ boys team will have to run the race of their lives at regionals to get one of the top four spots. The top Woodland Park runners this fall have been freshmen Thomas Marshall and Jack Fisher. Other top runners are senior David Higgins and junior Neil Oppedal. The boys finished third at the league meet, with Higgins and Oppedal finishing 12th and 14th, respectively. WOODLAND PARK VOLLEYBALL UPDATE The Woodland Park volleyball team finished the Class 4A Metro League portion of it schedule on Oct. 8 with three-set loss to first-place Coronado at Panthers Gymna-

sium. Woodland Park (4-3, 7-8 overall) finished third in conference behind Coronado and Mesa Ridge. CRIPPLE CREEK-VICTOR WINS IN VOLLEYBALL The Pioneers won their first home game of the season Oct. 12 with an exciting fiveset victory over Center, 25-19, 22-25, 12-25, 25-23 and 15-9. Katie Tapia led CC-V with 14 kills, seven digs and three blocks, while Sarah Wywias added seven assists. CC-V (2-14) finishes the regular season on the road this Friday with games against Sanford and Sangre de Cristo. Both matches are at Sangre de Cristo. PIONEERS LOSE TO HOEHNE, 67-6 The Cripple Creek-Victor football team fell to 0-6 after a 67-6 loss to Hoehne (7-0) on Oct. 11. The Pioneers close out their season Friday at McClave (6-1).
