Recent rains combined with snow melt runoff has saturated the South Platte River to the point of overflowing its banks in areas located throughout the watershed. The U.S. Forest Service Pike and San Isabel National Forests Cimarron and Comanche National Grasslands office in Pueblo, Colo. has issued an order closing Eleven Mile Canyon Rd., Happy Canyon Campground and the Platte River Trailhead parking area. The purpose of the order dated June 22, 2015 is to “protect public health and safety.” An updated U.S. Forest Service press release dated June 25, 2015 says the “Pike National
Forest-South Park Ranger District continues to experience high water flows in the South Platte River within Eleven Mile Canyon. “These conditions require that access to the South Platte River and all Forest Service campgrounds within Eleven Mile Canyon remain temporarily closed to public use until further notice.” Denver Water spokesman Travis Thompson said that Denver Water is allowing the same amount of water to be released as is coming into the reservoir - to pass through at the same rate it is coming in. “Obviously there have been high flows as a result of the rains and snow melt run-off. We (Eleven Mile Reservoir) are definitely at capacity. A lot of water has been spilling over the dam as it

Your local newspaper, the Pikes Peak Courier, got a whole lot more local when it was purchased Friday by longtime residents of the Pikes Peak region: Cary and Bill Vogrin of Colorado Springs. To buy the Courier, the Vogrins teamed with Susie Burghart and Rich Tosches, who also have deep roots in the community. The two couples formed Pikes Peak Newspapers Inc. to purchase the paper from Colorado Community Media in Highlands Ranch. Terms of the sale were not disclosed. “Cary and I are thrilled to immerse ourselves in the communities served by the Courier,” said Bill Vogrin, who will serve as editor and write a weekly column. He will join longtime publisher Rob Carrigan, who will remain in that position. “We have accompanied Rob and his wife, Niki Miscovich, on frequent visits to the area,” Vogrin said. “With them, we have enjoyed tours of open houses, festivals, discovered great restaurants and pubs and made friends across Woodland Park, Cripple Creek and Victor and Divide.” The Vogrins have long admired the area. “Cary grew up in rural Wisconsin and we love the character, charm and friendly people unique to small towns. We know there are great stories to tell here and we’re excited to practice community journalism at its purest level.” The Vogrins and Rich Tosches are familiar names in the region, having worked 20-years plus at area newspapers. Cary Vogrin worked at the Rocky Mountain News and then the Colorado Springs Gazette after arriving in the area in 1994 from the San Francisco Bay Area where she was an award-winning editor at the Contra Costa Times daily newspaper. In 2007, she left The Gazette to start a Papa Murphy’s Take ‘N’ Bake pizza franchise. Bill Vogrin came to the region in 1994 after 13-plus years writing for The Associated Press in Missouri, Kansas and Illinois. He held various writing and editing positions at The Gazette, including City Editor, before launching his Side Streets neighborhood column in 2002. Tosches was a reader favorite as a columnist at The Gazette, the Colorado Springs Independent, the Rocky Mountain News and the Denver Post. He came to the region in 1993 from the Los Angeles Times, where he was a sports writer and humor columnist. He started his career at United Press International. And Burghart is well-known as a longtime resident, Colorado College graduate, philanthropist and member of her alma mater’s Board of Trustees. “The very best newspapers are the ones that readers, customers, sources and the community itself, take great pride of ownership and trust in. Bill and Cary, Rich and Susie understand that. I am proud to be associated with owners that demonstrate such high ideals Courier continues on Page 3

For the first time, the American Legion held the pig roast June 20 at the Ute Pass Cultural Center. The highlight of the event was a presentation by Robby Cox, a past Post commander, honoring the POW/MIAs. The event included a silent auction with $7,000 worth of prizes donated by local businesses. “It was good to see the interaction between the citizens of the community and the veterans,” said Larry Ingram, the legion’s spokesman. “Many sea stories and war stories were passed around and there was good camaraderie for all. “
Third annual Disc Golf opens July 5 Staff report
Zak Menz, Josh Stover and Riley Youngman come home every summer to participate in the memorial event. More than 100 people took part in the 2014 event, many from Colorado Springs, who found out about the event on the Professional Disc Golf Association website at pdga. com. Courtesy photo
The Third Annual Nick’s Soaring Eagles Disc Golf Open is from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. July 5 at the Woodland Park Middle School. Fun for all ages, the Disc Golf Open is a great way to spend time outdoors while supporting a good cause. The course was developed and installed as part of Nicholas Naples’ Eagle Scout Management Project. Scouts from Woodland Park Troop 230 assisted in the building and installation of the course. Collectible commemorative discs will be available for $10 and the event will feature the popular raffle for Discraft Weekender bags with four discs. Each year a local organization is selected as the beneficiary of the proceeds. This year’s proceeds will benefit the Woodland Park Nazarene Church Youth Group activities. Last year’s beneficiary was the Little Chapel Food Pantry in Divide. This annual event is a memorial event honoring Nick, who was killed in June 2012 in a traffic accident with Paul Kekich and Alex Ragan, two other scouts from Troop 230, as they returned home from Boy Scout summer camp. An adult leader and a toddler also were killed in the crash.

GoCo awards $350,000 to city By Cindy Keating
WP Parks and Recreation Great Outdoors Colorado Board approved $350,000 for the Memorial Park ReDevelopment Project on June 18. Memorial Park is the original and oldest park in our city. This 3.32-acre park was dedicated to the city in 1938. The park has a unique setting, showcasing panoramic views of Pikes Peak, framed by large stands of Blue Spruce and Ponderosa pine with a pond, evoking memories of the city’s rich history. The last significant improvements made to this park were in 1984. This project will completely renovate and update the park with new facilities and accessibility. New amenities include a large group picnic shelter, small group picnic shelters, gazebo,

has been designed to do,” Thompson said. “Between the water passing over the spillway and use of valves there is no cause for concern at any of our facilities,” Thompson said of Denver Water’s management of the reservoir. Regarding the closure of the canyon road, Thompson said “The Forest Service is using an abundance of caution with regards to recreational interests to make sure people remain safe.” Because of the concerns over public safety and road and bridge conditions, the Park County Road and Bridge Dept. has also closed several roads throughout Park County including County Rd. 59 near Hartsel and County Road 112, the access
restrooms, fishing dock, playground equipment, basketball court, benches, picnic tables, bike bollards, flag pole and drinking fountain. Concrete walkways will be placed throughout the park, with light bollards providing day and evening accessibility. This community park is centrally located in our city, just one block north of downtown and is heavily used by the entire community. The Re-Developed Memorial Park will attract new users and will be able to accommodate more users at one time. The community event shelter over the pond will host weddings and community activities. The additional open space will provide an area for passive and active recreation. Memorial Park will continue to be the ideal location for community special events such as the Fourth of July Celebration, Cruise Above the Clouds Car Show and
Art Festivals. Great Outdoors Colorado invests a portion of Colorado Lottery proceeds to help preserve and enhance the state’s parks, trails, wildlife, rivers and open spaces. GOCO’s independent board awards competitive grants to local governments and land trusts, and makes investments through Colorado Parks and Wildlife. Created by voters in 1992, GOCO has funded more than 3,500 projects in all 64 counties without any tax dollar support. The grants are funded by GOCO’s share of Colorado Lottery revenues, which are divided between GOCO, CPW, the Conservation Trust Fund and school construction. For more information, visit goco.org. This grant, along with 37 others just awarded by GOCO, support Gov. John Hickenlooper’s Colorado Beautiful initia-
tive by identifying and filling critical gaps in connectivity for trails and open spaces, and GOCO’s new “Protect, Connect, Inspire” strategic plan, which focuses on land preservation, trails, and encouraging more youth to get outdoors. GOCO is presently seeking applicants for its new Inspire Initiative, which offers between $1 million to $5 million in grants to selected communities to encourage kids to have more outdoor experiences. The program focuses on creating outdoor destinations like parks, improving access to outdoor location through new or improved trails, and expanding existing youth programs that introduce kids to the great outdoors.

route to Sportsman’s Paradise just outside of Lake George. There are alternative routes to both areas. On Thursday, Jun. 25 and Friday, Jun. 26, several U.S. Forest Service employees were stationed at the entrance of Eleven Mile Canyon Rd. with blockades and signage in place stating the road is closed. Although no camping or other public access is allowed in the canyon, Camp Alexander Boy Scout residents and campers and the two dam caretaker’s employed by Denver Water are still allowed access. At one point last week, Camp Alexander’s entire fleet of vehicles were parked at the Lake George Community Park as a precautionary measure but have since been returned to the camp. New campers are ferried in and out from the blockade site each week to and from the camp location. U.S. Forest Service South Park District Ranger Josh Voorhis said although the Jun. 25 order states that Eleven Mile Canyon
and the other areas will be closed until Aug. 31, 2015, “there is no expectation that it will remain closed for that length of time.” However, Voorhis added that forest service engineers will inspect the roads for underscoring and bridges for scouring and make any repairs, if necessary before the areas will be allowed to open. Voorhis also said that there are several areas affected by the closure where the water is only “one- to- two inches below the height of the road bed. Lake George- based Coalition for the Upper South Platte (CUSP) Executive Director Carol Ekarius said that although the amount of water is unprecedented in its scope of flooding, the non-profit’s efforts in restoring the health of the South Platte’s watershed has probably lessened the potential damage that could have occurred. “The (water) flows are way beyond the river’s capacity. Until the water recedes,
we won’t be able to know what damage has been done. However, the (extent of damage) will be much lessened because of what we have done,” Ekarius said. The mission of CUSP is to protect the ecological health of the 2,600-square-mile watershed, covering 1.6 million acres of land that varies in elevation from 6,000 to above 14,000 feet above sea level, reaching from the Continental Divide to the Strontia Springs Reservoir, southwest of Denver. Some of CUSP’s efforts to maintain a healthy river include strategic placement of logs and boulders to reinforce river banks and to redirect the river’s flow and the planting of willows to prevent erosion. According to its website, “Working with volunteers, we plant thousands of trees each year, restore habitat, and improve recreational opportunities. Our crews also remove damaged and diseased trees, and help reduce wildfire threats in our communities.”

I plan to do my level best, to seek that trust and partnership with the community,” said Carrigan, who will continue to write his “Restless Native” column for the Courier but will shift more of his attention to expanding services to subscribers and advertisers. “Our goal is to build on the strong foundation Rob has in place at the Courier and make it even better,” Bill Vogrin said. “We want the Courier to tell folks things they didn’t know about the Teller County region, to entertain them,

introduce them to their neighbors and be a place to turn to for help when they have problems.” Gerald Healey, publisher of Colorado Community Media, said he and his wife, Ann Macari, were happy the paper would stay in local control. “We’re pleased to sell to a local family with a strong newsroom background
who is committed to community journalism,” Healey said. “The newspapers will benefit greatly from having Bill, a longtime area resident who understands local issues, as editor and president.” Healey said the sale would allow CCM to sharpen its focus on its 15 suburban Denver publications.

Cefus family: Cyclists extraordinaire
By Pat Hill
phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com
In a place with glorious scenery, mountain terrain and people who ae invigorated by physical exertion, the Cefus family earned a triple bonus June 20 at the Mountain Top Cycling Club Experience Ride. Bonding over a grueling 50-mile ride through Teller County, three generations, Lou, 75, Eric, 48, and Ethan, 14, crossed the finish line together. “We wanted to do something that was manageable for all of us. I’m just thankful that my dad can be a role model,” said Eric Cefus. “My job is to be a role model for my kids.” For Lou, the ride was worth some bragging points, as he’d only returned to high altitude the month before. The elder Cefuses split their time between Aiken, S. Carolina and Divide. “It’s a hard 50 miles with a lot of long climbs,” Eric Cefus said. “I don’t think there are many 75 year-olds who could do something like this.” However, the senior citizen follows a rigorous routine that includes running, cycling and walking every day with his wife, Bozena. For the Cefus family, the experience was multi-faceted. “It’s emotional, knowing that we have an opportunity like this, with three generations and my wife Kathy,” Cefus said. “The other piece is pride - seeing my 14 year-old son, hands-down the youngest person there.” Cefus, too, felt pride that his father could do the ride. “I know he was tired but he had a great attitude and I think he was excited that he could do the ride with his grandson,” he said. “Ethan’s going to remember this forever.” The ride put the spotlight on the nonprofit organization, Mountain Top Cycling Club. “There were people from other countries, people who drove down from Denver just for this ride,” Eric Cefus said. “I think this is great for our community, for our businesses. What a great opportunity to show off our community.”

Just trying to tell stories and be round “Everything an Indian does is in a circle, and that is because the power of the world always works in circles, and everything tries to be round.” — Black Elk (Hehaka Sapa) Certainly newspapering and telling stories is a circular process. Back in 2007, when I wrote (what I thought at the time) was probably my last column for a certain newspaper, I mentioned the basic truth that, in communities like these, a person never runs out of good stories to tell. Having spent so many years with the same newspaper company, many of them in the Teller County and Monument areas, I have even acquired a few stories of my own. I recall spending more than $700 one week to clear snow from the parking lot in Monument (when we were in the building that now houses Expectations Salon) after the October 97 blizzard. Jeremy Bangs and I logged a lot of hours in those days addressing Tribunes by hand and prepping bags for the mail. One of the funniest newspaper tales I have ever heard involved having to face the crazed meanness in the eyes of a publisher who had just figured out he only has flats for 34 pages of a 36-page paper when he arrived at the offsite printing facility. I guess that is what happens when rushed and, in haste, you throw completed flats in the back of the pickup where they can be sucked out a crack between the endgate and the topper latch on the way to the printer. Not everyone knew of the secret escape hatch through the closet in the editor’s office (and out to the back door) in the stucco house on the corner. I never had an opportunity use it, but still found it comforting in case of an irate advertiser or an enraged reader. I also recall watching out the front window of the Ute Pass Courier newspaper office in Woodland Park, as the police, including local city and county officers, and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, FBI and federal marshals, arrested members of the Texas Seven in the Coachlight mobile home park directly to the east of us. “No information at this time,” from emergency personnel, was the only explanation offered for the six or seven ambulances and various police cars lined up in our parking lot for a full twenty minutes before they could tell us what was going on. It was another media circus, but perhaps more dangerous one to staff and the community, when the Hayman Fire burned out of control for three intense weeks in June of
2002. For members of our staff at the newspaper, the weeks of stress related to intense long-term sustained coverage of a big story was compounded by whether or not their house, or place of employment, or both might burn. And all their friends and neighRob Carrigan bors were in a similar predicament. RESTLESS But among the “big NATIVE stories,” was always that small but important thread that needed to be pulled for goodness sake. It seems to me like I followed around in Ernest Chapin Gard’s footsteps – just about 100 years after he first made his appearance in Colorado. I published the Cripple Creek Gold Rush, which was a direct descendent of Gard’s Cripple Creek Crusher. I managed the Tri-Lakes Tribune in Monument and the Palmer Lake area, a century after Gard’s Palmer Lake Herald and Monument Register. I had worked at papers that covered Mono County in California that had ties, and had a friend that edited the paper in Gardnerville, Nevada with links to Gard. All were temporary haunts of the bombastic journalist, newspaper publisher, and mining promoter. For a while there, I thought there was some sort of weird Ju-Ju between me and the guy, 100-years-displaced. Then I figured out that this fellow started or promoted a paper in most every promising mining camp in the West. “E. Chapin Guard was at Palmer Lake much of the time between 1888 and 1895,” wrote my friend Daniel W. Edwards in a paper for the Palmer Lake Historical Society in July of 2010. Edwards recently retired from the U.S. Department of Commerce in Washington, D.C. and authored the book Dr. William Finely Thompson: Dental Surgeon and Founder of Palmer Lake. “He published Palmer Lake’s first newspaper, served on the first town council, was town attorney, a justice of the peace, filed claims to local mining properties, and wrote a booklet boosting Palmer Lake. Yet, being a restless and ambitious man, Gard could not stay put for long. He established, published, or edited 11 Colorado newspapers during his career, and his articles appeared in at least six others. As a roving journalist and newspaper editor in Colorado, Gard often resorted to
poetry, humor, and sarcasm in his writings and fully exercised his right to freedom of the press. He did contribute to the dialog of democracy by criticizing public officials, but his unrestrained enthusiasm and often bombastic, intemperate rhetoric also provoked strong opposition. Many newspapers of that era practiced a similar style of journalism.” The Mountain Democrat of Placerville, California, had this to say about E.C. Gard, near the end of his colorful career in its June 4, 1926 edition. “Thirty years ago, when new mining camps were constantly springing up in the state of Colorado, each new mining camp had a newspaper that boosted everything from the skies above to what was expected to be found thousands of feet underground, and in most cases the name of the editor was E. Chapin Gard. There were two things that Gard could do more of and do better than anyone else in camp, one was write boost articles and the other was to drink good whiskey. He did both constantly and consistently, and helped many men become wealthy but never saved any money himself … E. Chapin Gard, still boosting, with more pep than half the men we meet every day, who has probably been compelled to forget his age in order not to become old, an example of what it means to always look on the bright side, to look for sunshine instead of clouds, to side-step gloom and cultivate happiness and contentment.” Of course Gard made enemies, often with his own rhetoric. “Don’t send your pennies to India,” Gard is quoted in the Pagosa Springs News on July 1, 1898. “The Hottentot can get along for awhile without your contributions … We need missionaries and money and tornadoes of prayers and rivers of tears to civilize the heathens in darkest America. Turn your gospel machines loose on Denver’s gates of Hell. Batter down the stone walls of Capitol Hill and see Satan and his imps scamper. Go into the big department stores and offices, where physical serfdom cringes and moral ruin crouches and weeps, and rescue the perishing. Lift the mask from some of our courts and begin to get to your work of salvation as rapidly and vigorously as possible. Pry up a few boards under the altar in front of some of our pulpits and see if we don’t need several tons of saving grace right here in Colorado.” E. Chapin Gard, was just getting warmed up. And Rob Carrigan is just circling around behind him.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor: Letter to the editor per our conversation a few days ago concerning the article in the June 10 paper titled, “No more helicopters in four mile.” To preface my comments I am ex military and every time a chinook, blackhawk or huey chopper flies at treetop level over our house at any time day or night my chest swells with pride and I hold my head a little higher with respect to our military. My only regret is I cannot get them to land In the field in front of my house and get one more flight in the back of the chopper. Thus my following comments on these people with their complaints of the training our brave troops must do to maintain Proficiency in flying their aircraft in dangerous areas to include specifically mountainous and high altitude terrain. I am looking at the picture of these five individuals with their smug smirks on their faces thinking they are some kind of heroes with utter and complete contempt and disdain. They should be hanging their heads in shame. They have absolutely no respect or consideration for our troops flying these aircraft or the troops in the back depending on their proficiency when and if they get sent into combat. Again, all I can say as I look at these people in utter disgust knowing they enjoy their dwindling freedoms and liberties do to and even more dangerous world both externally and internally do to the loyalty and sacrifices our troops make every single day.

And everyone who provided props and labor. Sincerely, Karen Morrison Victor location manager for Carnival of Crime Dear Editor: Thank you for your front page article “Ignatius Sounds Off.” It was informative, a bit infuriating, and ultimately sobering. Unfortunately, what is legal and permissible, and what is right are often two different things. I suppose hindsight is easy, but the resource strain should have been anticipated at the time approvals for this project were given- and negotiations for payments hammered out when the county and city had some type of leverage. I am sure the various approval authorities made the best decisions they could at the time, given the information they had. But, now that it is a bit clearer with whom the county and city are dealing, I think
it is worthwhile to consider a more aggressive “go forward” strategy. If the County Fire Board has deemed Charis Bible College a “systemic” (my words) or sizeable fire risk to the surrounding communities and continued negotiations for PILT contributions continue to fail, then I would suggest the following to the county and city for their considerations: • Hire the best municipal law attorney you can afford and thoroughly understand your prospective legal options; • Teller County and the city of Woodland Park might thoroughly review their zoning ordinances and rules for non profits and implement any necessary new ordinances or rules that ensure that the county, the city, as well as Charis or any other non profit are protected in the event of a fire and that approvals for any facilities expansions or changes for any non profit are contingent upon payment of fees to cover these incremental costs; • Ensure that those who increase the fire risk, pay the incremental costs. Since the vast majority of students are renters with no long term commitment to the area, consider some type of annual county renters flat tax paid at the time of rental or renewal to cover this additional risk and resource need. Or the county could add a student tax for students of any non profit. • Charis could add a charge to all their full time, part time or any other paying student that would be refunded to the county for fire protection. Colleges are as creative as the airlines at add on fees! It may be legal for non profits to free ride on the backs of for profit businesses and individual property tax payers. When the non profits are small and diffuse, no one really Letters continues on Page 23

Florissant School House and Museum offer a glimpse of the past By Sonja Oliver
Contributing writer
Florissant School
Built in 1887 with an addition in 1889, the wood framed rural schoolhouse with an L-shaped floor plan has an enclosed entry topped by a bell tower with a pyramid-shaped roof and flared eaves. The original windows, chalkboards and wooden floors still remain along with pictures of a few presidents hanging on the plastered walls. The school building is recognized on the official Colorado State and National Historic Registers and is located at 2009 Teller County Rd. 31 in Florissant. The schoolhouse was purchased by the Florissant Grange no. 420 which has opened it up to the public for numerous community events and activities. For more information call 719-748-0358.
Schoolhouse Museum
The smaller building adjacent to the school is the Schoolhouse Museum, which is part of the Pikes Peak Historical Society Museum. The Schoolhouse Museum or “teacherage” was the home dwelling for the teacher who taught rural children who either walked, rode or were brought in by wagons or buggy’s for their classes. The museum features authentic schoolroom artifacts from the late 1880s until the mid- 1900s. Tours are by appointment only but offer a glance into a pioneer schoolhouse setting from over 100 years ago. For additional information visit www.pikespeakmuseum.org or call 719-748-8259.

Homestead house first brothel museum in country By Sonja Oliver
Contributing writer The Old Homestead Parlor House, located at 353 Myers Avenue in Cripple Creek, was once the most famous brothel in Cripple Creek and is one of only three historic structures of its type known to exist in the country. Meyers Avenue was considered to be the “red light district” of the city, where brothels lined the street. Pearl DeVere arrived in Cripple Creek and established her business in 1893. The Old Homestead Parlor House catered to the more refined “gentlemen” of Cripple Creek with its opulent decor and extravagant amenities such as running water and electricity. The current house is a museum and was constructed from brick in 1896, after the original house burned during the devastating Cripple Creek fire that had burned most of city to the ground. One year later, in 1897, Pearl was found unconscious in her bedroom and is said to have died tragically from an overdose of morphine. She is buried at the Mt. Pisgah Cemetery, just west of town. In 1958, the house was made into a museum - the first brothel museum in the country - which has been restored to its original Victorian splendor with crystal light fixtures, velvet bedspreads, lace curtains and handmade wooden furniture. For museum hours of operation go to: visitcripplecreek. com/businesses/old-homestead-house-museum or call (719) 689-9090.

Pikes Peak Historical Society Museum is preservation gem By Sonja Oliver
Contributing writer Located in Florissant, Colo. just off of U.S. HWY 24, the Pikes Peak Historical Society Museum is a small gem dedicated to the preservation of the history of Florissant and the western slope of Pikes Peak. Through its exhibits, the museum relays the history of the Ute Indians, early explorers, mountain men, and pioneers and the impact they had upon the region. The museum has included in its collection, information and artifacts that reflect the time from when buffalo forged trails from the salt marshes of Bayou Salado to the base of Pikes Peak, to the Ute Indian tribe making their sojourn to the mountain of their legendary origins, to the Spaniard conquistadors, mountain men, pioneers, and on to the industries that were brought to the area such as railroad, ranching, agriculture and mining. The unique geology
of the western slope is displayed in rock and mineral collections as well as plants and animals indigenous to the area. The museum’s collections consist of artifacts and information about the region, history and displays about early pioneer life and one of the best cultural interpretations of the Ute Indian tribe. Gem and mineral exhibits include the largest smokey quartz crystal found in North America weighing in at 439 pounds. The Pikes Peak Historical Society Museum, is located at 18033 Teller County Road 1 across from the Florissant Post Office, and the Schoolhouse Museum located at the cross section of Teller County Road 31 and Wildhorn Rd.

Phantom Canyon Road offers interesting sites
By Sonja Oliver
Contributing writer
Phantom Canyon Road is considered to be one of the most scenic and historic drives in Colorado. The route increases in elevation from 5,500 to 9,500 feet and offers the chance to see a wide range of plants and wildlife in their natural setting. From Teller County, the road can be accessed after leaving Victor and following Highway 67 south. The road follows the route of the Florence & Cripple Creek Railroad built in 1894 as a connection from Florence to the goldfields of Cripple Creek and Victor, known as the “World’s Greatest Gold Camp.” Twelve stations were established along the F&CC Railroad grade to service the trains hauling coal and supplies upgrade towards Victor and Cripple Creek and gold ore downgrade to Florence’s smelters. The unique bridges and railroad tunnels offer a visual link to the area’s historic past. Interpretive displays and signs designate the historic sites along the Gold Belt Line of the Gold Belt Scenic Byway. The gravel roads, along with bends and turns and narrow bridges encourage people to slow down and view the scenery. Allow two hours to travel between Florence and Victor on Phantom Canyon Road. Make plans to stop and enjoy the grassy, meadows and cottonwood trees lined along the creek which are contrasted by high, steep canyon walls; travel time can be extended by several hours or even days. For maps and other information to explore Teller County’s other scenic byways, Shelf Road, High Park Road and Teller One, go to www.goldbeltbyway.com.

The dramatic views of Wilkerson Pass By Sonja Oliver
sonjaholiver@gmail.com At an elevation of 9,504 feet, Wilkerson Pass is a short drive west from Teller County on U.S. Highway 24, 14 miles outside of Lake George. The summit of Wilkerson Pass provides three- hundred and sixty degree vistas of breathtaking, spectacular displays that include twenty-three mountain peaks towards the west at the Continental Divide, the dramatic expanse of South Park’s Bayou Salado (French for salt marsh), Pikes Peak towards the east, Badger Mountain directly across the highway to the north at an elevation of 11,000 feet, and the Puma Hills to the south. Wilkerson Pass, the mountain pass in the Rocky Mountains is located within the Pike National Forest and marks the eastern
boundary of Park County. The visitor center provides interpretive exhibits that retrace 10,000 years of local history and natural history from the buffalo who grazed the nourishing grasses, the nomadic Tauguache Ute Indian peoples who sojourned east to Pikes Peak, to the Spaniards, mountain men and pioneers who eventually settled the land. Trailheads for a few short and easy hiking trails begin at the U.S. Forest Service visitor and interpretive center. The pass is surrounded by peaks towering over 14,000 feet with the Front Range’s Pikes Peak to the east and the Collegiate Peaks of the Sawatch Range to the west. The trek along a one-mile loop is a worthwhile, but not strenuous hike and provides a chance to discover evidence of the area’s wildlife such as pronghorn, ground squirrels, blue jays as well as native grasses, wildflowers, sage, aspens and coni-

Cripple Creek and Victor gold mine tour enriches By Nick Oliver
Contributing writer Hugging the west face of Pikes Peak, approximately thirty miles south west of Woodland Park, is located one of the world’s largest and most productive gold mines. This incredible mine features the world’s tallest leech field, seven square miles of mining operation and a pit that delves 1000 feet below the surface. The tours of the mine leave from the Lowell Thomas Museum, a collection of historic photos, documents, and artifacts from the mining industry of the late 1800’s. From there, the tour continues to historic mine sites where the mining practices from more than one hundred years ago are explained in detail.
Next, the tour continues to the depth of 1000 feet, into the heart of the cripple Creek and Victor Mine. Here, the tour vans will drive wheel to wheel with some of the largest land vehicles built by man. The wheels alone on the hauler trucks are taller than the average human, weigh over 1500 pounds and cost more than $40,000 apiece. These goliath vehicles run for twenty-three hours a day. According to PR Director, Brad Poulson, the mine moves over 60 million tons of dirt per year. “The volume of earth we move makes us unique for a large-scale modern mine; the landscape is constantly changing,” says Poulson. In 2014 the mine produced 210,000 ounces of gold and 110,000 ounces of silver. At today’s gold and silver prices, that equates to over
Mining practices, both old and new, are shown during the Cripple Creek and Victor Gold Mine tours. Courtesy photo $250,000 a day. While the normal tour ends with the exploration of the mining pit, an extended tour can be booked for groups larger than ten. This extended tour offers a rare
look at the CC&V mineral collection plant. Here, the gold and silver cyanide solution is pumped in from the leech fields and the precious metals are extracted. Viewing this amazing process allows
tour takers to see the final results of the massive operation; gold and silver powder being turned into large ingots. A number of items to bring on the tour, suggested by Poulson, are water bottles, a hat, a camera, closed toed shoes, a jacket and your sense of adventure. He also suggested several local destinations that might complete the Historic Mining District experience. These are, the Gold Camp Bakery, located in Victor and famous for its peanut butter pie, the Fortune Club, also in victor for burgers and ice cream, the Victor Agriculture and Mining Museum, and Head Frame Tavern for pizza. Tours of CC&V operations begin on Memorial Day and end on Labor Day. Reservations can be made at www.victorcolorado.com or by calling 719-689-4211.

Associate Conductor Thomas Wilson is currently Music Director of the Chamber Orchestra of Colorado Springs (known locally as “Chamber Orchestra of the Springs”), Associate Conductor of the Colorado Springs Philharmonic, and serves on the music faculties at Colorado College and the Colorado Springs Conservatory. He maintains an active schedule of guest conducting and composing, and is an arranger and orchestrator for several studios and prominent solo artists.
In January 2012, Rob Carrigan returned to the Courier after an absence of more than five years. From 1997 to 2007, Carrigan had previously served as publisher of the Courier, and also the Tri-Lakes Tribune in the Monument area.

Ute Pass Symphony Guild The Ute Pass Symphony Guild, a 501c3 non-profit corporation, began in 1979 for the sole purpose of funding concerts by the Colorado Springs Philharmonic Orchestra. The mission of bringing the very popular Symphony Above the Clouds to our area has not changed. After all these years, we remain an all volunteer organization with very low overhead and administrative costs ~ two aspects of which we are very proud and which we work very hard to maintain. We also have a second mission. Each year we provide the funding and training required to send fourth graders from all Teller County schools ~ including those home schooled and Lake George Elementary ~ to a Philharmonic Kids concert presented at Pikes Peak Center. It is a joy to add to the knowledge of our children by introducing them to symphonic music. Symphony Above the Clouds is truly a community effort. We use the Woodland Park Middle School football field for our venue. Concessions are provided by the Panther Pride Athletic Boosters. Our local police, fire and ambulance departments help assure safety at the event. The City of Woodland Park provides for sanitary needs, plus safety lighting and our fireworks display. Area churches and other schools offer their parking lots to concert-goers. Your donation will help maintain the tradition of an admission-free concert.

The Wildwood Depot and General Store, across the street from the Wildwood Casino in Cripple Creek, is expected to open in the fall. Courtesy image
Wildwood Casino to open conveniece store By Pat Hill
phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com The shuttle service from the Country Lodge in Woodland Park is part of a new business strategy launched recently by the Wildwood Casino in Cripple Creek. “We are so enamored with the Country Lodge - what a fabulous facility,” said Mike Chaput, director of planning and analysis. “So now we have a relationship with the lodge.”
The lodge owner, Mark Rabaut, has propelled the establishment into one of the most popular places in Woodland Park, due to the deck with a view of the city as well as the addition of a restaurant and entertainment. The shuttle, which leaves and returns four times a day, enhances the offerings by the lodge. For the Wildwood, the shuttle expands its reach through Teller County. In addition to the shuttle service, the Wildwood expects to open in the fall a 3,500-foot convenience store and Phillips
66 gas station across the street. “We feel the store is a good thing because there is really no facility on that side of town,” said Mike Chaput, director of planning and analysis. The Wildwood’s business plan includes expansion of the casino’s restaurants, from the addition of Boriello Brothers pizza to buffets in Maverick’s and a prime-rib special in the Saddle Bar on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. As well, Pho 54 leases space for its restaurant in the casino.
When the Wildwood opened seven years ago, the timing was less than ideal. “We were on the defensive, what with the smoking ban, the recession,” he said. “We’re not so much on the defensive anymore; we’re able to move to the offensive.” The offensive is energized with increased revenue from gaming. “There’s a little uptick this year, in comparison to last year and the year before, which had fires and roads,” he said. “For the most part, the road has been open, which is a very good thing for business.”
11 Mile Reservoir is Colorado’s geographic center By Sonja Oliver
sonjaholiver@gmail.com A visit to the heights of South Park’s Eleven Mile Reservoir State Park brings visitors to a place where they can enjoy numerous activities in one location. Beginning the day with a hike along the Coyote Ridge hiking trail and, following a picnic at the water’s edge, visitors can transition to easing a canoe into the waters at Corral Cove or fish along the shoreline. Setting up a day or overnight campsite at the waterfront camp sites opens up opportunities for scenic vistas, boating, hiking, fishing, rock climbing and relaxing.
Colorado’s geographic center
Eleven Mile State Park is located a few miles west of the Teller County line in Park County. South Park is a land that embodies the legend of the West; rich in beauty, majestic mountains, clear, sparkling rivers, diverse wildlife, geologic mineral wealth, and wide open grassland. The upland valley area of South Park is located in the geographic center of Colorado and is comprised of a large plateau occupying approximately 900 square miles, varying in elevation from 8500 feet to 10,000 feet above sea level. Eleven Mile Reservoir sits at approximately 8,600 feet. Formed behind the Eleven Mile Canyon Dam, the reservoir is located on the South Platte River at the southern edge of South Park. The 3,405 surface-acre reservoir features 23.9 miles of shoreline and offers nu-
merous recreational activities. Constructed in 1932, the dam was built upon a series of stair steps cut into the surrounding canyon walls of Eleven Mile Canyon rising 147 feet high above the bedrock and holding in the weight of the reservoir’s waters.
Covered in history
According to the Colorado Parks and Wildlife website, the waters of Eleven Mile Reservoir cover ranches and towns that once existed during the formation of the West. Prior to the construction of the reservoir, the former towns of Idlewild, Freshwater, Howbert and several surrounding ranches that were once thriving communities and hubs for the mining, logging and agricultural industries in the area. Now covered by the waters of of the reservoir, the town of Howbert consisted of a telegraph office, post office, grocery store, drugstore, butcher shop, hotel, two saloons, sawmill, depot, schoolhouse, cemetery, 25 houses and a 42-car capacity passing railroad track. The names of some of the surrounding mountains and campgrounds such as Witcher’s Cove at Eleven Mile State Park and Stoll mountain have been named after some of those towns and ranches whose land now lies underwater. At the turn of the century, the Colorado Midland Railroad transported visitors from Colorado Springs through Eleven Mile Canyon and to the area that is now the Eleven Mile and Spinney Reservoirs so they could
enjoy the wildflowers growing along the banks of the South Platte River.
Hiking the trails, rock climbing The Coyote Ridge Interpretive Trail, located near the reservoir’s edge at Corral Cove is a 1.35 mile self-guided nature trail loop that winds its way along a low, rocky ridge line comprised mostly of granite, and through canyons, hills, meadows and wetlands. Easily accessible for hikers of all levels, the easy to moderate trail forms a figureeight, splitting into two loops (Ponderosa and Aspen) that intersect in the middle. For a longer hike, the Midland and Black Bear trails range from easy to moderate with a few small hills to climb. The 25 natural, wooded and secluded Backcountry campsites are perfect for those who are willing to pack or boat their supplies into the sites. The Black Bear Trail is 0.6 miles long and spurs off of the Midland Trail and travels around the perimeter of the backcountry camping area on the peninsula. During the summer, guided nature hikes with park interpreters are available. A schedule is posted on the park’s website. Rock climbers have a wide choice of places to climb along the trail with various degrees of challenges.
Fishing, canoeing After working up an appetite following the approximate one-hour hike along the Coyote Ridge trail, a picnic beside the calm waters lapping at the grassy shoreline of
Corral Cove seems to be a natural progression. Following a respite of food, the short trek from the parking lot to the cove with a light canoe is easy. Beginning at the cove, a canoe trip can follow along the curvaceous shoreline or venture out into the open waters of the reservoir. Canoes and other types of boats can be rented from the 11-Mile Marina at an hourly or daily rate. Known by the locals as a great fishing hole, the reservoir is home to rainbow, brown and cutthroat trout, kokanee salmon, northern pike, small-mouth bass, yellow perch and carp. Anglers armed with baited hooks and patience are scattered in boats throughout the open waters of the reservoir and along the shoreline as they fish for their specific preference or whatever happens to be biting. Employees at the 11-Mile Marina or Eleven Mile General Store are happy to help out with information on the best places to fish, what is biting and bait options. Fishing licenses are available at the park office. For more area information or camping reservations go to www.parks.state.co.us/Parks/ ElevenMile.

Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument records prehistory By Sonja Oliver
Contributing writer A view into prehistoric Colorado can be found at the Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument located in western Teller County just outside of Florissant Colo., on Teller County Road 1. Nestled in the mountain meadows of the Rocky Mountains, the 6,000 acre park features a landscape of rolling hills in a grassland valley forested with ponderosa pine, spruce, fir and aspen; many of the living trees are more than 200 years old. The park provides excellent habitat for a variety of mammals including mule deer, bears, mountain lions, porcupines, ground squirrels, and a small herd of elk, as well as numerous species of birds. The park was established as a national monument in 1969 and is one of eight locations in the National Park System set aside specifically to preserve the country’s fossil resources. The fossil beds were studied as early as 1807 and noted as an area of extreme interest by scientists. During excavations, massive, petrified redwood stumps were discovered to have been entombed in up to 15 feet of mud and volcanic debris. Some of the remaining tree stumps are at least 12 feet in diameter and considered to be among the largest petrified tree stumps in the world. Prior to becoming a national monument, the fossil beds were known as Pike Petrified Forest, a privately owned and operated attraction that hosted visitors who stepped off the train at the depot in Florissant and walked along the tracks while gathering wildflowers during the late 1800’s and early 1900’s.

Prehistoric preservation
Due to the unique geological record of fossils from the Eocene period 35 million years ago, the fossil beds received recognition as a significant area for preservation. Imagine a warmer, pacific west coast, rainforest environment with tall redwoods, lush ferns and abundant birds, insects and
small mammals. During a significant geological event, the prehistoric flora and fauna were encased in sediment created by massive mudflows comprised of ash and water from what is known as the Thirty-nine Mile Volcanic Area which stems out from Guffey, Colo. This area is located approximately 15 miles to the southwest of the fossil beds and encompasses parts of eastern Park County and western Teller County. The powerful mud flows or “lahars” could travel 150 miles per hour down from the slopes of the volcano, covering and/or destroying everything in its path. In another geological event, thin layers of shale were formed from the rain of volcanic dust and ash which then settled at the bottom of ancient Lake Florissant, thus trapping and preserving other fossilized remains found at the site. Preserved over millennium, the fossil remains that lay underneath the current vista are considered to be of precious value. More than 50,000 specimens represented in collections include numerous species of birds, insects, fish, ferns, flowers and leaves. Many of these perfectly preserved fossils are located in museums throughout the world such as the Smithsonian and Denver Museum of Natural History as well as universities such as Harvard and Yale.
Visitor information
The park hosts an estimated 65,000 visitors yearly, including scientists and paleontologists who travel to the area from throughout the world to study the unique fossils and geological phenomena at the
paleontology laboratory located in the visitor center. Park programs offer workshops with volunteer geologists, daily ranger- guided tours for groups and individuals, informational films and interactive displays as well as outdoor exhibits and programs. Florissant Fossil Beds is an excellent place to observe the wonders of the night sky. offering night sky programs throughout the year. Structured health awareness programs such as Yoga or “Hikes for Your Health,” for better health through hiking and snowshoeing. There are 14 miles of trails to hike yearround including a one-mile, self-guided hiking trail. Horses are permitted off- trail throughout the park. The park is open seven days a week from 8 a.m. till 6 p.m. during the summer and from 9 a.m. till 5 p.m. in the winter, excepting Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s days. A typical visit usually takes about two hours. The three- dollar per adult (16 and older) admission for the entire day is well worth the price and is good for seven days. Children up to the age of 15 are admitted for free; children ages 4-12 are invited to participate in the Junior Ranger Program at no charge. The Adeline Hornbek Homestead, an excellent example of homestead life in 1878 Colorado and also a part of the park, includes a tour of the main house, bunkhouse barn, carriage shed and root cellar and is included in the admission.

Lake George Community Park and Richard Snair Cabin peeks at past By Sonja Oliver
Contributing writer
The Lake George Community Park sits on 22 acres in historic Lake George. The park borders Pike National Forest and is dog and horse friendly. There is a tennis court, basketball hoops, archery range, playground for small children, picnic tables and a covered pavilion that is available for larger groups. A horse arena is available for riders who wish to trailer their horses to the park. Also located on the park grounds, the Richard Snair Homestead cabin is used as an interpretive museum that depicts pioneer life. The 22 by 24 foot, one-and-a-half story cabin was constructed in 1875 using native adz-worked, square-cut logs. Square headed nails can still be seen in the window and door frames. The cabin is outfitted with a wood burning stove, furniture and artifacts from the turn of the century. For park and cabin information or pavilion reservations call 719748-3949. Recently, a new hiking trail was constructed for the park. It is a short, four- tenths of a -mile hike with a 75 foot elevation. The trail has interpretive signage along the path. The park also recently built a handicap accessible walkway into the pavilion and a handicap accessible picnic area with more to come this lsummer.
One of only a few remaining Nineteenth Century structures in Lake George proper, the homestead cabin was rescued from destruction and is now a an interpretive museum at the Lake George Community Park. Photo by Sonja Oliver

Woodland Park native Clint Vahsholtz has won a record 21 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb races. He is competing in the famed Open Wheel Class again this year. The 93rd running of the Race to the Clouds is scheduled for Sunday, June 28. Photo by Danny Summers
Vahsholtz wins second Hill Climb championship Clint Vahsholtz finished third in Open Wheel class By Danny Summers dsummers@coloradocommunitymedia. com Clint Vahsholtz had his streak of seven consecutive Pikes Peak International Hill Climb championships come to an end on June 28 during the 93rd running of the event. But his son, Codie, a 24-year-old motorcycle speedster, won his second title in three years to make sure the Vahsholtz family was represented in the Parade of Cham-
pions. Codie, who makes his home in Woodland Park, as does his father and grandfather, Leonard, won the Pikes Peak Lightweight (450cc) class aboard a KTM in a blistering time of 10 minutes, 50.421 seconds. Codie reached the summit almost 13 seconds ahead of second-place finisher Joseph Connor Toner of Sterling. Darryl Lujan of Brighton was a distant third (11:38.282). Codie averaged 66.421 mph up the 12.42 mile course that has 156 harrowing turns as competitors raced to the 14,110-foot summit. Codie recorded the fastest times in all four stages of any of the 15 racers in his class.
Codie reached top speeds of about 120 mph on the straight-aways at Picnic Grounds, Bottomless Pit, Ragged Edge, 19mile and Devil’s Playground. Another Woodland Park resident, Tom Specht, also raced in class. Specht finished 13th (12:56.352). The race was Codie’s fifth Hill Climb event. he finished second his first two years (2011 and 2012), but won in 2013 atop a Kawasaki. He finished third in 2014. The title was the 42 for the Vahsholtz family. Clint has a record 21 class championships, Leonard won 18 class titles (plus one exhibition title). Leonard made his first run up Pikes Peak in 1977. As a family, the Vahsholtz’s hold the all-
time record with 42 titles. Clint finished an uncharacteristic third in the famed Open Wheel division. His time of 9:55.479 was just a second slower than his winning 2014 mark, but he was well back of winner Paul Dallenbach (9:36.496) of Basalt. Spencer Steele of Denver was second (9:53.494). Clint’s long-time friend and nemesis, Layne Schranz, raced in the Pikes Peak Open class, but was unable to complete the race. He had an oil leak just before reaching the summit, which ended his day. Dave and Lorie Wood of Woodland Park competed in the Open Wheel division, but they were not able to finish the race.
Rhys Millen wins Hill Climb in electric car Millen’s victory is the first-ever of its kind in the world By Danny Summers dsummers@colorado communitymedia.com For the first time in the 99-year history of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb an electric car won the overall championship. New Zealand native Rhys Millen, who makes his home in San Juan Capistrano, Calif., won with a blistering time of 9 minutes, 07.222 seconds during the 93rd running of the event on June 28. Millen averaged 78.944 mph up the 12.42
course that featured 156 winding turns and ends at 14,110-feet. He hit top speeds of more than 170 mph on straight-aways at Picnic Grounds, Bottomless Pit, Ragged Edge, 19-mile and Devil’s Playground. By winning America’s second-oldest auto sports race, Millen became the first driver in any global event to win in an electric car that bettered a field that included traditional internal-combustion engines. Nobuhiro “Monster” Tajima, of Japan, also racing an electric modified car, finished second overall (9:32.401). Paul Dallenbach of Basalt was won the famed Open Wheel Class and was third overall with a time of 9:36.496. Next up was Jeff Zwart in the Time Attack 1 Class (9:46.243). The only other cars
to crack the once elusive 10-minute barrier were also from the Open Wheel class; Spencer Steele (9:53.494) of Denver and Clint Vahsholtz (9:55.479) of Woodland Park. The fastest motorcycle time was turned in by Jeffrey Tigert of Torrance, Calif., who reached the summit in 10:02.735 aboard as 1200cc Honda. As is typical for the race, the road and weather conditions played roles in how drivers and riders were able to attack the course. Drivers talked about the slick conditions, which they said was a product of warm temperatures that caused the pavement to radiate heat. Because of that, the hot pavement dried the surrounding gravel, which in turn allowed sand to blow onto the road.
“In the days leading up to the race you adjust the car and try to get a good time,” Vahsholtz said. “On race it’s a driver’s adjustment. You want to keep the car tight, but you also want to make sure you reach the top safely.” Millen felt he could have turned in a faster time, but his Drive eO car lost a rear motor pack halfway through the race and had to finish at 50 percent of its power. Tajima, who has won seven overall championships, said his brakes failed near the summit. By mid-afternoon, lighting, thunder and hail caused the race to be delayed for more than an hour.

Big Daddy’s GMF barbecue smokes By Pat Hill
phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com
When Victor Matthews does barbecue it’s not just any ol’ barbecue. Famed chef who infused culinary gusto into Green Mountain Falls and launches the Black Bear Distillery this week, Matthews raised the ante to include Big Daddy’s GMF Barbecue. Just in time for the Green Box Arts Festival, the barbecue, Matthews’ style, features ribs and pulled pork, along with Cajun coleslaw. With a fancy new smoker several feet long, Matthews and his son and side kick, Kanji, 12, introduced the barbecue last weekend in anticipation of the grand-opening the weekend of July 3. The barbecue is an addition to the launch of the distillery and tasting room at the Black Bear. “The still is on the way from Maine,” Matthews said. The barbecue venture is a fundraiser for Restaurants as a Mission, a nonprofit organization that offers culinary opportunities for people in foreign countries. There is no set price for the barbecue but donations are suggested.
Victor becomes the movie Staff report The city of Victor was in the spotlight last week when Jessica Jones-Carson brought her film crew to the mountains to

Motorcyclist dies during Pikes Peak Hill Climb practice run Carlton Sorensen, 39, becomes sixth competitor to die during Hill Climb’s 99-year history By Danny Summers
dsummers@colorado communitymedia.com Three days before the 93rd running of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, a racer died during a practice run. Carlton Sorensen, 39, lost control of his motorcycle and flew off a cliff near the summit of the 14,110-foot mountain on June 25. Sorensen lived in Centennial and was participating in his third Hill Climb. He previously raced in 2012 and 2014. Sorensen’s death occurred several hours before the annual Media Day, where racers, Hill Climb officials and promoters gathered for what is usually a festive event. Tom Osborne, Chairman of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb Board of Directors held a moment of silence during the news conference at the Penrose Heritage Museum. “It’s a very sad day for the family of Carl Sorensen and the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb Board of Directors and all the riders and drivers,” Osborne said. Emergency crews rushed to the scene where Sorensen went off the mountain. Practice runs were stopped for the rest
of the day. Fellow racer Joe Prussiano had just finished his run a few minutes before the accident. The accident happened on a stretch of highway in an area known as Devils Playground. Motorcycle riders can reach speeds in excess of 130 mph during that straightaway. The Sorensen family released a joint statement with the Hill Climb: “(Carlton) will be remembered as a loving husband, father, son, brother, and friend with a tremendous sense of humor and a passion for racing.” While emergency crews were on the scene, a storm moved across the summit. Medical personnel had to evaluate six people after a vehicle was struck by lightning. One person was treated at the scene. Sorensen is the sixth competitor to die in Hill Climb history. Motorcycle racer Bobby Goodin, 54, died during last year’s race after losing control of his bike and crashing just after crossing the finish line. “Throughout the 92 years that this unique race has been conducted on `America’s Mountain,’ we have experienced the ultimate joy in triumph, the disappointment of failure and now the unexpected heartbreak of the loss of a competitor,” Hill Climb race officials said in a statement. “We mourn the tragic death of Carlton, and he will be in all of our hearts this Sunday for the 93rd ‘Race to the Clouds.’”
