Recreating a local landmark

Local UFO buﬀ hosts packed lecture on ‘NORAD incident,’ area ‘sightings’ By Avalon A. Manly avalonmanly@yourpeaknews.com

Plan launched to rebuild Antlers Arch for anniversary By Pat Hill pathill@yourpeaknews.com In conjunction with the city’s 125th anniversary, the Woodland Park Arts Alliance is reviving the signature Antlers Arch Breezeway downtown. Once a popular landmark for locals and tourists alike, the sculpture of antlers, between Dana’s Dance and Cowbells gift shop, was removed due to the deterioration and instability of the structure. “The arch was a draw; people would stand right there in front of it and have their pictures taken,” said Ralph Holloway, who founded and continues to serve on the board of the nonprofit organization. The piece will be crafted from antlers shed by deer and elk. “We’re still in the planning stages, trying to pin down an artist and a final cost,” said Laurie Glauth, who with board members Holloway, Renee Bunting and Jan Wilson, is heading up the project. Carla Clausen is a fan. Owner of Banana Belt Liquors, Clausen is sponsoring a wine and microbrew tastings fundraiser to get the revival project off the ground. The event is from 6 to 9 pm. May 13 at the Ute Pass Cultural Center. “Ever since the arts alliance got going in 2004, Carla has always been supportive,” Holloway said. “We’ve had a number

of wine tastings with Carla that she has funded to provide public art, scholarships and programs or just general running of the arts alliance.” Glauth, too, lauds the efforts of Clausen. “This is truly about small town, about community and an individual who values the arts,” she said. “The alliance as well as the community is fortunate to have a small business owner like Carla who is willing to give so generously.” The board intends the project to be a collaborate effort among the alliance, the Downtown Development Authority, the city, local businesses, residents and Main Street. “The breezeway is all part of enhancing downtown, from a walkability and beautification perspective,” Glauth said. “There is a study going on to make Woodland Park a more pedestrian-friendly area.” Since 2004, the alliance has taken tiny steps to promote public art, beginning with the artistic benches at various places around town. In 2015, the WPAA launched the most dramatic art project to date: “The Story of Us,” the 145-foot mural that covers the exterior east wall of the Ute Pass Cultural Center. The mural incorporates the history and the frontier roots of Woodland Park. The mural, painted by Lois Sprague of Woodland Park, is startling, an eye catcher for people entering the city from the east. “This arch project is a basic building

VFW and American Legion Hall makeover in progress WP chosen for 2016 volunteer project By Suzanne Core Contributing Writer The sagging old frame building with the chipped white paint on Highway 67 north of Woodland Park was built as a church in the 1930s. Then, for years, it was the Manitou Park Grange, hosting the historic fraternal organization that advocated for American farmers. In recent years, it has been the shared home of the American Legion and the VFW. But the years have not been kind to the old structure as it deteriorated in the harsh, high-altitude climate. Now new life is being injected in the old building, according to VFW Post Commander Andy Tyler.

It wasn’t a celebrity drawing a crowd to the Woodland Park Public Library last week, requiring employees to bring in racks of extra chairs for the dozens of attendees. Instead, it was UFO hunter Steve Alexander whose lecture packed the library with people interested in learning more about UFOs and the infamously unexplained “NORAD incident.” Besides wanting to hear Alexander, Colorado Springs resident and founder of the local chapter of UFO Institute International, the crowd also came to share personal stories of sightings of unexplained phenomenon and contact with what some believe were extraterrestrial in nature. “There’s something out there,” said Alexander, who retired as a lieutenant colonel in the Army Reserves. “I’m pretty convinced.

On May 11, more than 100 volunteers with the Home Depot Foundation were to descend on the structure to give it a total renovation. A grant from the foundation is making possible repairs that were beyond the resources of American Legion Eric V. Dickson Post 1980, which meets there, and the building’s current owner, VFW Thomas E. Kelley Post 6051. “Between the American Legion and the VFW, we have tried various avenues in the past (to repair the old building) on meager budgets,” Tyler said. The building needed much more repair than the combined efforts could manage. “When the work began,” Tyler said, “we had some former Grange members call, worried, afraid it was being demolished or that old records and Grange items were being thrown out. That’s not happening.” Instead, according to Tyler, the Team Depot volunteers will be painting the building inside and out, installing a cedar fence, adding a jungle gym for a playground, and a Tuff Shed, and doing some landscaping. “Home Depot Foundation is handling all the costs,” Tyler continued. “DMI Builders, of Woodland Park, is coordinating all the labor, including the demolition, already underway. “The building was gutted, walls and ceiling,” Tyler said. “There is new insulation and drywall. Electrical, which was the old cloth-covered wiring, is being brought up to code. There is a new furnace and hot water heater, new footers and flooring, and a new fenced picnic area.” The donation of money and manpower is appreciated by American Legion Post adjutant Dan Weber. “It is great to have the Home Depot Foundation come into our community and do this and the Loft House,” Weber said, referring to the 200 Team Depot volunteers also coming on May 11, to help repair and renovate the Loft House motel in Woodland Park, helping Habitat for Humanity with its housing project. Weber sounded as if he could hardly believe everything Home Depot was doing. “It is new everything!” he said. “Home Depot contacted us to see if we’d be interested. “We said ‘sure,’ and directed them to the VFW. They have worked in the Colorado Springs area for years and look for local projects.”

NO CITY SALES TAX

Tyler said approval had to go through Home Depot headquarters. “The (foundation) crew came from Atlanta and loved the project, and it was a go,” he said. Home Depot’s Christina Cornell said the VFW building and the Lofthouse renovation for Habitat of Humanity are exactly the kinds of projects the foundation likes. “Since 2011, the Foundation has focused on veterans,” Cornell said. “We have invested $138 million through a variety of programs, like the Team Depot associate volunteer force. Our goal is to get employees out of the aisles and into our communities.” Cornell said the Foundation has provided 25,000 housing units for veterans since 2011. It did three projects in Colorado Springs in 2014 and another three in 2015, including modifying a home for an aging veteran, creating a safe and accessible backyard for a disabled vet, providing home upgrades for a medically-discharged vet, working on repairs for homeless veterans housing, building raised garden beds for a veterans services facility, and upgrading VFW Post 6461 in Foundation. The two veterans organizations support local veterans and the community in a number of ways, including joint ceremonies to honor veterans. The American Legion, which

has about 140 members, has an annual pig roast and sponsors an oratory competition, Boys State, and the Adopt a Highway program. The VFW traces its roots back to 1899, for veterans of the Spanish-American War (1898). The first national convention of the American Legion was held in 1919. According to Tyler, the VFW Thomas E. Kelly Post was named for a Woodland Park resident and World War II army veteran. It was originally the Gold Nugget Post. After the war, Kelly returned to Woodland Park and helped build Rampart Range Road. In 1946, he served on the Woodland Park Town Council. In 1962, he and his wife, Leoma, moved to a ranch near Mueller State Park. The Post's name was changed after his death. The American Legion Post is named for Marine Lance Corporal Eric V. Dickson, the first Teller County serviceman to die in the Vietnam War. The June 6, 1968, edition of the Ute Pass Courier reported Dickson was killed in action in Quang Tri when hit with “fragmentation wounds” from a “hostile explosive device.” He had graduated from Woodland Park High School the previous year. Weber said the Home Depot volunteer workday will begin with an opening ceremony at 7:45 a.m.

Power of social media overwhelming when it hits close to home PIKES PEAK BILL Bill Vogrin billvogrin@yourpeaknews.com

Last Monday, I received an urgent request to share an alert about a missing young man on my social media sites. No doubt you’ve seen similar postings if you are on Facebook or Twitter and the like. A young person deemed at risk, or a person of diminished mental capacity such as an elderly person suffering from dementia, goes missing and loved ones ask for help locating them. In the past, I have routinely shared such alerts, hoping my 2,500 “friends” on Facebook will recognize the person. Or they will similarly share the post and somewhere down the line another FB user will help find the person at risk. These alerts work. I’ve seen the power many times. A few years ago I shared photos taken from a camera found on a mountaintop and one of my FB friends recognized the couple in the photos. They were reunited with the camera

as a result. I’ve also helped people find lost pets. And law enforcement often credits social media for helping track down missing persons. But Monday was different and I have to admit it shook me when I got the request. The missing young man was a family friend. We’ve known his family nearly 10 years. His older sister is a friend of my daughter. So it was shocking to read the words his mother had written about him. She said he had left all his belongs with a goodbye/suicide note and disappeared. After sharing the alert with his photo and the details of his disappearance, I found myself seriously distracted and upset. The photos of him provided by his family showed a young adult. Tall. Handsome. In some photos he was smiling and clearly goofing around. I couldn’t help but think of him as a young boy playing with my own son, years ago. They are about the same age and I choked up as I contemplated the nightmarish morning his family was enduring. They were so scared for him. And their fear rippled across Facebook and washed across me. Then came a stunning post from another friend and former colleague on my Facebook page, responding to my alert. He’d seen the young man downtown. He actually

watched the young man jump from a bridge over the railroad tracks in downtown Colorado Springs. Honestly, I couldn’t believe it. But it was true. My friend was driving across the bridge and looked straight at the young man the moment before he jumped. Their eyes had met for an instant. And then he vanished over the guardrail. Hours later the disturbing image still haunted my friend. Of course, he stopped and raced to the edge of the bridge where he saw the young man in a mangled heap below. Alive. But just barely, it seemed. My mind raced and my emotions overwhelmed me. I was scared for the victim, of course. And I was so sad for the family. They would be devastated at the news. But they were also relieved he’d been found. They even were thankful for the postings on Facebook because it helped authorities identify him at the hospital. As the crisis of the disappearance gave way to relief he was still alive, the reality set in about his future. The family faces a whole new set of fears about the extent of his injuries and what led him to make that terrible leap. My family and I will help any way we can. And as difficult a day as it was, I’m so glad I had the reflex to share the alert and spread the word. And I’m so grateful to all the people out there who pay attention and care enough about a troubled young stranger to get involved and respond. Thanks to you all.

Valuable tips for avoiding and treating altitude sickness FIT AND HEALTHY Cord Prettyman cordprettyman@msn.com

Ahhh, spring is upon us with summer not far behind. And with the onset of summer comes the flatlanders to our high-altitude paradise with the obligatory visits to the ER for those wondering who hid the oxygen. I thought the topic of altitude sickness might be of interest to those of you who are expecting visitors this summer, as a trip to Teller County can be a very unpleasant experience for some flatlanders. Can you recall your first visit to Teller County? Does any of the following sound familiar: headache, fatigue and weakness, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, lightheadedness, dizziness, difficulty sleeping, increased urination and flu-like symptoms? Chances are you were suffering from high altitude sickness, also known as acute mountain sickness or AMS. AMS is a mild form of altitude sickness that affects 20 to 30 percent of all visitors to Colorado. Most people experience the symptoms of AMS within the first three days after arriving at high altitude with the symptoms usually dissipating by the fourth day. There is no difference in the percentage of oxygen at

Rocky Mountain National Park, a popular summer hiking destination, at dusk. sea level and higher altitudes. The air is comprised of 21 percent oxygen everywhere on the planet. As one ascends through the atmosphere, however, barometric pressure decreases and every breath contains fewer and fewer molecules of oxygen. There are certain normal physiologic changes that occur in every person who goes to a higher altitude. Hyperventilation, shortness of breath during exertion, increased urination, changed breathing pattern and frequent awakening at night are to be expected. No specific factors such as age, sex or physical condition can predict susceptibility to altitude sickness. Some

people get it and some don’t. Certain diseases, however, can make going to a high altitude dangerous. Those with lung disease, emphysema or severe heart disease are at greater risk. The majority of those who experience mild AMS get better with no treatment. People with moderate to severe symptoms need to seek medical assistance. The No. 1 suggestion for avoiding AMS is “staging” in changing altitudes. For example, if you are coming from sea level, it is better to spend the night in Denver or Colorado Springs prior to coming to Teller County. In addition, the diuretic Diamox, taken one to two days prior to arrival, can help your body prepare for higher altitude. You may want to talk to your doctor about this prescription medication. Once you arrive at a higher altitude, avoid alcohol, sleeping pills and narcotics as they intensify symptoms. And drink plenty of water. It is, also, advisable to avoid strenuous exercise the first few days and do not ascend to a higher altitude until your body has had time to acclimate. Home oxygen can relieve symptoms and is safe, cheap and easy to use. It can be used at night when symptoms are worse and on and off during the day, as needed. And finally, if nothing is helping alleviate the symptoms, or if the symptoms get worse, return to a lower altitude and seek medical aid.

Hibernophobia, Great Hunger, self-improvement all drive Irish to Colorado mines RESTLESS NATIVE Rob Carrigan robcarrigan@yourpeaknews.com

There is a strong tradition of anti-Irish sentiment, known as Hibernophobia, that predates the “an Gorta Mor” or “The Great Hunger.” It has led to fighting and sectarianism and cultural discrimination of Irish emigrants and their descendants for about 1,000 years now. The “Troubles,” “Bloody Sunday,” and “No Irish Need Apply,” are some of its manifestations. But just because we are paranoid, doesn’t mean they weren’t out to get us. “At the extremes of the debate, the famine has been described as an unavoidable tragedy caused by the destruction of the Irish potato crop by a sudden infestation of late blight, a disease of potatoes that had spread from continental Europe, or, alternatively, as an attempt by the British government to use the crisis as means of destroying the Catholic culture of the west of Ireland in what amounts to a case of genocide,” writes Bill Price in his popular book, “Fifty Foods that Changed the Course of History.” Irish immigrants arrived in Colorado with the discovery of gold in the late 1850s. Many, fleeing the potato famine on the “old sod,” they came to Colorado as miners or railroad workers calling themselves “terriers.” They settled in the mining camps seeking a better life and freedom from the discrimination they experienced in eastern cities. By the early 1860s, the Irish comprised the one of the state’s largest and most visible immigrant groups. In the mining camp of Leadville, for example, they represented nearly 20 percent of the population. “In the 1870 Census for Denver, 60 percent of Irish men are listed as common laborers, while 70 percent of the single Irish women are listed as domestic servants. Hibernians in early Colorado lifted, hauled, dug, fought, cleaned, fed and scrubbed. They were the sweat, blood and muscle of an expanding American empire, extracting precious metals, laying new roads of iron and steel, and tending to the needs of the privileged,” writes Dennis Gallagher, Tom Noel and Jim Walsh in the introduction of their

Sept. 6, 1903. book “Irish Denver.” “Most of early Colorado’s Irish miners migrated through other mining communities such as the copper mines of the Beara Peninsula in western County Cork, the Pennsylvania anthracite coal region, and copper country of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Others mined regions in Scotland and England before moving to Colorado. Many of Colorado’s Celts came via Canada,” says Irish Denver. “By 1880, Leadville boasted nearly 3,000 Irish-born residents and a sizable number of Irish Americans who had migrated from North American mining areas,” wrote James Walsh in a recent History Colorado piece for Colorado Heritage magazine. “Leadville became the most Irish place in Colorado and one of the most Irish places in the United States,” according to Walsh. The miners’ union, led by 28-year-old, Dublin-born Michael Mooney, quickly shut down Leadville’s silver mining operations when they walked off the job in May 1880, to protest low pay, unsafe conditions and a new rule that banned miners from talking while they worked. The backlash was severe and immediate. “Nearly all of Colorado’s newspapers declared the strikers were members of the legendary ‘Molly Maguires,’ a secret society of Irish tenant farmers that was said to have been responsible for the murders of several mining executives and other professionals in the Pennsylvania’s anthracite coal region during the 1860s and 1870s,” Walsh says. The strike and the resultant hysteria led Gov. Frederick Walker Pitkin to declare martial law less than two weeks later in

Leadville, even though no violence preceded the declaration. More than 250 miners were arrested by Colorado National Guard troops and others. They were then forced at gunpoint to build roads on chain gangs. Similar tactics were used again in Leadville in 1896 and 1897 to break up another strike of the Western Federation of Miners. The incident ultimately led to resisting Irish miners being killed and buried in secret graves. “Hibernian miners led two major Western Federation of Miners strikes in Cripple Creek. Irish American John C. Sullivan led the Denver-based Colorado Federation of Labor during the 1903-04 Cripple Creek Strike. Mother Mary Jones was jailed in Trinidad, Colo., when she became active in support of the striking coal miners and families during the time of the Ludlow Massacre,” notes “Irish Denver.” In another example of anti-Catholic and anti-Irish sentiment, when a fire broke out in Cripple Creek on April 25, 1896, it had apparently started in a brothel in the Myers Avenue red light district during a dispute regarding customer service. That fire was extinguished, but another, more devastating fire broke out four days later and burned most of Cripple Creek. A member of the American Protective Association took advantage of that second fire by attempting to dynamite St. Nicholas Hospital and rid Cripple Creek of its Roman Catholic institution. He did some damage to the hospital kitchen, but he also blew off his own leg. Sister Mary Veronica Sinnott and the other Sisters of Mercy moved him and their other patients to Dr. Whiting’s hospital, where they nursed the bomber back to health, for which he was reported to have been grateful. Many Irish women were among the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth, the Sisters of Mercy, and the Sisters of Loretto, who served the needy and built hospitals (many of them in mining camps) around the state. “Like other major American cities, Denver had a strong Irish political presence. Families like the Carrigans, Currigans, and McNichols have served the state and the city in many capacities, as have renowned early politicians such as John A. Carroll, Edward Costigan, Edward Keating, Robert Morris, and Thomas Patterson. More recently, such figures as Joan Fitzgerald, Dennis Gallagher, Cary Kennedy, Mitch Morrissey, Mary Mullarkey, and Bill Owens have continued this long tradition of Irish political involvement.” More than three million people in Ireland were entirely dependent on the potato, and the failure of the crop left them destitute. About 1 million Irish perished in the famine, and another million emigrated during a five-year period. About 72 percent of the Irish population even today is Catholic.

Eleven Mile Canyon Road was once a railway CABOOSE COBWEBS Mel McFarland

We tend to forget that Eleven Mile was once a railroad. Some who drive it think it still has wooden ties in the road, because of it’s washboard nature! These bits of history date from 1922. Bids were closed on the Eleven Mile Canyon project, between Lake George and Howbert, at the state highway department in Denver. There were eight bidders and the contract was let at a figure slightly below $60,000. Work of converting the Colorado Midland roadbed

along this stretch into a highway, 16 feet wide, began immediately after the contract was awarded. The road was called a highway by 1922 standards. It followed the old Colorado Midland roadbed, which was given to the state for use as a road by A.E. Carlton, the King of Cripple Creek who started a freight-hauling business from Divide, built an empire and invested in mines, banks and railroads. Eventually, he owned the mighty Cresson Mine and the Colorado Midland Railroad. (He also built the Carlton House in Pine Valley, which became a country club, then served as a high school before Air Academy High was built and then became the residence of the superintendent of the Air Force Academy.) The Eleven Mile project covered 11 3/4 miles, extending from Lake George to Howbert, and passing through the scenic Eleven Mile canyon. The state appropriated $60,000 for this work, and the contract was about $2,000 under that figure. The next link was between Lake George and Florissant.

Following its completion, the road was extended to Divide, the western terminus of the Midland line. The contract for the section of the old Midland grade that was converted into a road was let to William Norton by the fifth state highway division office. Norton had a saw mill five miles below Lake George. When the weather conditions became favorable, highway crews tore out the ties, widened the roadbed and repaired tunnels through Eleven Mile canyon. Several new bridges were then built in the canyon. Some of the old railroad bridges lasted until the 1965 flood. It took nearly three years to complete the entire conversion job, due to weather problems. In 1932, a new road over Wilkerson Pass was built when Denver’s water board started construction on a huge dam at Idlewild, on the west end of the canyon, a mile east of Howbert. The dam took a couple years to build and Eleven Mile was not made a park for another three years. Did you know there was a town under the lake?

The enthusiasm was cooled somewhat by the lack of response to the interviews held.

May a month of celebrations at Cripple Creek Care Center GOLDEN BRIDGE Amanda Shalhout Guest Columnist

Every year starting on Mother’s Day, nursing homes nationwide honor the hard work of their residents and staff. The week of May 8-14 is National Nursing Home Week and we at the Cripple Creek Care Center will be celebrating it and its theme: “A Small World with a Big Heart.” The theme highlights the connection between staff and residents. It’s a busy month as we are also celebrating Nurses Week and Older Americans Month.

These events give us a chance to recognize the camaraderie of our staff and the unique, individual, and personal relationships we have with our residents. In a nursing home, there are many connections formed between residents, their families and staff. Families depend on the staff to provide quality care and dedication to their loved ones. Many people find pleasure in helping to improve our elderly population’s quality of life. Our nurses, certified nursing assistants and environmental staff are the heart of the Care Center. The nursing staff works around the clock providing personalized care for each resident. We value our nursing staff for the care they provide to our residents, giving the residents a place they feel they can call home. To kick off the celebrations and honor residents and staff, Cripple Creek Care Center had Cripple Creek-Victor High School Band performed for our residents and staff. Dietary Manager Kirk Ferguson and Housekeeping Man-

ager Lois Mace hosted a Mother’s Day Brunch for residents, their families and staff. The Dietary Department created an exquisite meal to accompany the beautiful atmosphere that Lois Mace created for all to enjoy! We should value all ages in our communities from the very young to the very old. But the oldest of old in nursing homes and assisted living facilities often feel isolated and excluded. Developing stronger connections between these older adults and their community can have tremendous benefits for everyone involved. Even older adults with serious memory loss or cognitive limitations can still enjoy a visit, even if they don’t remember it later. Throughout the month of May there will be many festivities for the residents and staff at Cripple Creek Care Center.

Amanda Shalhout is admissions director at the Cripple Creek Care Center.

Fire department fills in for missing marshal By Pat Hill pathill@yourpeaknews.com The new mayor in Green Mountain Falls, Jane Newberry, started making her mark on May 3. For openers, there was an empty chair where the town attorney, Matt Krob, normally sits. “You’ll notice he’s not here,” Newberry said, responding to a complaint from Mac Pitrone about the expense of spending $145 an hour in attorney’s fees every two weeks. In a more conciliatory tone, Newbery said the two had reached an agreement. “He doesn’t feel the need to be here,” she said. The other empty chair once belonged to Police Chief Tim Bradley, who, with his three volunteer reserve officers, walked off the job soon after Newberry’s election. In the process, Bradley received $12,000 in severance pay. In absentia, Bradley took a verbal blistering from the audience during a workshop, which preceded the actual Board of Trustees meeting. “The police presence here has been excessive,” said Karen Watson. Craig Peterson, who sells Harley Davidson motorcycles, said that his clients stay away from the town and “the ticket-happy cop.” Because it’s known as a speed trap, the town is losing revenue to businesses west of town, he added. “Our reputation is out there,” he

said. Peterson took another potshot at the system. “The reality is that if there is anything major in this town, murder, armed robbery, traffic, the (El Paso County) sheriff and state police are going to come in, not the local marshal,” he said. “I’d like to see more money put into the infrastructure to clean up the parks.” Peterson suggested hiring a code enforcement officer who would be paid on an on-call basis. But the absence of a marshal will hurt town revenues, which depends heavily on traffic tickets. “The revenue stream is going to be deeply affected by law enforcement not writing tickets in Green Mountain Falls,” said Mac Pitrone, a former trustee. Bradley’s walkout generated a blitz of national media attention, enough to spark at least 40 letters of inquiry expressing interest in the job, Newberry said. For now, Newberry is planning to continue the marshal system of law enforcement, stipulating that the winning candidate be hired by a volunteer review committee. In the meantime, Bradley’s absence left a gap in the annual fundraiser run at Ute Pass Elementary School. “Our fire department has stepped up to provide security for the Pony Run,” Newberry said, of the race May 7. Throughout the workshop and the following meeting, every issue indicated a new direction for the board.

Mayor Pro Tem Cameron Thorne proposed changing the rates, as well as the hours, for the town’s swimming pool. As a result, the fees for residents and visitors will be the same, $5 a day, with a 50 percent discount on Tuesdays. In a compromise with the lifeguards in the audience, the board voted to open the pool from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p. m. Next up on Newberry’s list was to re-key the locks on every door in town. “This is a practical thing to do when we’ve had the turnover over the last year,” she said. In yet another change, Newberry proposed the town return to the Pikes Peak Courier as the legal paper of record. Last year, under Mayor Lorrie Worthey, the board voted to place the town’s legal notices in The Gazette. “The Gazette is something like $1.64 a line while the Courier is 50 cents a line,” Thorne said. Newbery added: “I will instruct the attorney to draft a resolution to be voted on next time, in accordance with our wishes.” With the ongoing vacancy in the clerk’s position, Newberry proposed forming a hiring committee to find a replacement. In the fast-paced workshop, Thorne produced the current budget and asked for a quarterly review by the board. In yet another departure, Newberry proposed reviewing a town-manager system of government, to be discussed at the next meeting May 17.

Ready for what? Spring Cleaning! Spring Changes! Spring Opportunities! Springing into Action! Now is the time to analyze what needs CLEANED, CHANGED, CREATED OR IMPLEMENTED. Any business can do these. When was the last time you CLEANED (really deep cleaned)? Is it time to CHANGE? Have you considered a new product line, new location, alternative menu items or updated your website? Are you on Social Media? Have you CREATED a welcoming environment? Welcoming for your customers, employees and others. What new policies will you IMPLEMENT this season? Is everyone trained and ready for those implementations. All these seem simple – Right? The real answer - not so much. Any type or size of business is focused on doing business and thus the bottom line. We forget the items mentioned above will have a positive impact on your bottom line. Taking our own advice, let me share a what we have done to get READY. A thorough deep cleaning to include waxing floors, cleaning windows, new paint, new blinds and clean rugs. We changed our Signature Events Poster (which we still have), but created a “Rack Card” with every event for Businesses to promote the Signature Events in the Region. Inside the Visitor Center we implemented a “Charging Station” for visitors to charge Cell Phones, Tablets and more. Stop by for a quick “charge”. And each day we create a “one of kind” experience for our Residents, Members and Tourists. While we put a smile on their face, they bring a smile to our hearts for knowing we have assisted them in creating the perfect vacation, answered a business question or provided information about a local event. In closing, ask yourself…Are you Ready? What will you and your Business be doing to Clean, Change, Create or Implement for 2016!

Although there are many evidence-based, peer-reviewed analyses that confirm this, one of the best is John Lott’s book, “More Guns, Less Crime,” which analyzes crime data from every county in the U.S. from 1977 to 2005. Each edition of his book was referred by the University of Chicago Press. His conclusion supports the logical reasoning that criminals are deterred by the risk of attacking an armed victim, which has resulted in significant reductions in homicide rates.

To the Editor, Two variables have accompanied nearly every recent mass shooting in America: the individual was mentally unstable and his target was a gun-free zone. Those who argue against allowing lawabiding citizens to carry concealed weapons have a remarkable capacity to ignore the facts.

Property dispute threatens food pantry

WANTED

By Pat Hill pathill@yourpeaknews.com A neighborhood property line dispute threatened to disrupt distribution of food to needy Divide-area residents last week. The trouble at the Little Chapel Food Pantry began innocently enough when the church hired a crew to fix a drainage issue on a half-acre behind the church. The problem surfaced during rainstorms in the spring of 2015. “The church has been flooding all year long,” said Judi Hesselberg, who runs the pantry with her husband, Ken. A neighbor behind the church became upset when the repair crew showed up with heavy equipment and began piling dirt on the property. The neighbor believed the crew was trespassing on his property. And he was upset the dirt was blocking views from his property as well. So he complained to the county, opening up bigger issues for the church and pantry. County officials discovered the land, used as a parking lot by the church, was zoned residential and parking is not allowed there. After 12 years of serving needy families, the pantry was given a cease-and-desist order from the county. “We were wrong,” said Pastor Steve Bunn. But the church wasn’t wrong when the crews graded the entire parking lot. The entire lot, including the disputed half-acre, belongs to the church. The church knew where the property line ended, the neighbor did not, Bunn said. Luckily, nearly one-half acre of the lot is zoned commercial, which means the church can allow pantry clients to use it. “We can use the commercial parking lot until we can get some kind of a variance,” Judi Hesselberg said.

“The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.”

When work crews hired by the Little Chapel of the Hills in Divide to grade the land and fix the ongoing drainage problems, the work opened up auxiliary issues that have aﬀected food distribution by the Little Chapel Food Pantry. /Photo by Pat Hill for The Courier As of last week, the Hesselbergs were planning to go ahead with the May 9 distribution, thanks to the cooperation of another neighbor. Pantry clients were to drive up the road adjacent to the church and exit through the property owned by Mountain Memorial Mortuary, whose owner, Steve Tomsky, has granted permission. “The county gave us a variance to use Steve’s property,” Hesselberg said. Still, the solution is less than ideal. “In the past, our clients could come in and have coffee and treats as well as the opportunity to talk to other people,” she said. “We’d call people in, 10 at a time, but now there’s nowhere for them to park.” The pantry serves up to 350 clients on the second and fourth Mondays. “There’s a lot of hurt in our community,” Hesselberg said. To help with the traffic flow on Monday, Sheriff Mike Ensminger planned to send in his volunteer posse, Hesselberg said.

UFO Continued from page 1A all his eggs in one basket – Earth? Maybe, somewhere else, they got it right.” Alexander, who has spent years in the world of UFO investigations, gave an overview of the infamous “NORAD incident,” which local aficionados consider of particular interest. The NORAD event took place over a sixweek period in the San Luis Valley, a place recognized internationally as a hotbed of unexplained and potentially alien activity. It started Nov. 30, 1993, and rolled on into January 1994, ranging from reports of fireballs, flying orbs and strange booming sounds that shook homes to increased area military activity and even some reported Bigfoot sightings and a strange cattle death. Some suggest the activity can be traced to sources out of this world. Others claim a military explanation of purely human makeup. When Alexander asked the audience – rows of people seated in the library’s large conference room, and lines of others standing in the back and along the walls – who among them had seen a UFO, dozens of hands shot up. Many shared their stories with the group, tales of unexplained lights in the sky or telepathic exchanges with entities seemingly beyond our world. Attendees at last week’s talk brought up shared interests, from “Ancient Aliens” on the History Channel to the Netflix Original Series “Unsealed.” Many also listen to the late-night AM radio show “Coast to Coast,” hosted by George Noory, or have visited the UFO Watchtower, a sort of hub and haven for those who have wit-

nessed sightings, just off the so-called “Cosmic Highway” near the San Luis Valley. Alexander also shared stories of his personal UFO sightings, including a horizon full of lights in 1994, where he and some military colleagues corroborated one another’s experience. Some members of the crowd talked about how they plan to vote for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton – not for any of her policies, necessarily, but because she has promised to disclose information about Area 51 and similar information pressure points. The meeting touched on a number of mysterious phenomena, from UFOs to stories of cattle mutilation to crop circles. “I just don’t believe that Elmer and Jethro got their 2-by-4, drank too much malt liquor, and did 17 fields in two nights’ time,” said Alexander, referring to one explanation for the appearance of crop circles in America’s heartland. “There’s too much (unexplained) stuff out there that’s too legit.” The meeting was so well-attended, in fact, that Alexander is considering hosting a monthly UFO discussion group at the Woodland Park Public Library. And that seems to be a trend: Alexander’s talks always attract more people than he could imagine. His first UFO Institute meeting in Colorado Springs, which he expected to be rather small, drew more than 200 people and five news teams. “It’s amazing to start a group and have something happen that quickly,” he said.

Mannon toasted after abrupt WP Parks & Rec board dismissal from gold mine opens to county residents WPPD to hire third school resource officer By Norma Engelberg njengel60@gmail.com

Jane Mannon, center, is pictured with Deb Idleman, left, and Julie Matthews. /Photo by Pat Hill for The Courier By Pat Hill pathill@yourpeaknews.com Jane Mannon was emotional at times, as more than 100 people from around Teller County gathered May 5 at Ralf’s Breakroom in Cripple Creek to pay tribute and offer best wishes. Mannon’s influence was legendary as she was the go-between for nonprofit organizations and the Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Co. Community affairs manager for the past 14 years, Mannon was let go last month by Newmont Mining Co., which purchased CC&V in June. “Thank you for all your contributions to this community, to the Gold Camp District, to Teller County,” said Commissioner Marc Dettenrieder. “Really, you’re a fixture, an institution. We want you to be successful, have a great life and keep in touch.” Mannon’s departure from the mine was unexpected. “We appreciate all you did for Victor,” said Mayor Buck Hakes. “You helped us out a ton, right up to the very end.”

Cripple Creek Mayor Bruce Brown added his own praise. “We appreciate your going to all the council meetings you did when you didn’t have to and all those functions - you were always there,” Brown said. “We really appreciate your being the link between us and the mine; communication is very important to us.” Each speaker highlighted Mannon’s and the mine’s contributions to organizations such as the Gold Belt Scenic Byway, Pikes Peak Regional Hospital, Ute Pass Symphony Guild, Gold Camp Victorian Society, Two Mile High Club, Victor’s DREAM (Downtown Revitalization and Economic Acceleration Movement) team, Teller Historic and Environmental Coalition, Teller County Planning Commission, Victor Lowell Thomas Museum, Penguins Hockey club, 4-H programs in Teller and Fremont counties, and the Teller County Focus Group. “Even on Saturdays, Jane would come and help us build trail,” said John Zalewski., with the focus group. “She could be on Victor’s Mount Rushmore!”

Until the May 5 Woodland Park City Council meeting, the Woodland Park Parks and Recreation Advisory Board hadn’t been working at full strength for at least six months. Parks and Recreation Director Cindy Keating explained that the advisory board’s bylaws require all board members to be city residents. She requested council to approve a change to the bylaws, that would allow up to three members of the seven-member board to be Teller County residents. City Manager David Buttery said about 50 percent of Parks and Recreation participants live outside Woodland Park city limits. With that, the council approved the bylaws change and then approved four applicants for the advisory board. Three new members: Karla Schweitzer, Marty McKenna and Dee DeJong; are county residents. The fourth, Trudie Layton lives in Woodland Park and is a renewing board member. Woodland Park Police Chief Miles DeYoung has taken the initiative to find state funding that can be used to hire and train a third school resource officer to work with the Woodland Park RE-2 School District. He said the two current school resource officers are spending so much time handling incidents, investigating crimes and assisting with mental health issues and other conflicts, that they cancel about 50 percent of their DARE drug and alcohol classes and other educational/teaching obligations. A third officer would relieve some of that burden and make sure students’ educational needs are met. The new officer’s salary would be paid for with grants from a new law providing

marijuana education and prevention funding and another offering family support money. The department has the resources needed to train and equip the new officer and has been interviewing for the position. Buttery said that the funding looks as if it will be available for the long-term and will be budgeted the same as other grants. The council approved accepting the grants and hiring the officer. Ordinances approved on initial posting: No. 1239 is a request from Michael Webber, owner of 231/241 Thunder Ridge Drive, to vacate an interior lot line and a 10-foot utility/drainage easement. Public hearing was set for June 2. • No. 1280 for a conditional use permit request from Teller County Habitat for Humanity to transform the Lofthouse Motel into nine affordable condominiums. The public hearing is set for May 19. • No. 1281 would amend the city code and add a new section to allow property owners to create up to two dwelling units within the same structure as a permitted use conditionally in three of the city’s commercial zones. The public hearing is set for May 19.

•

Ordinances approved after public hearing: • No. 1278 is a conditional use permit for Carl Andersen, the owner of a cabin at 101 Boundary St., which was built as a home in 1965, and has been used as an office building for many years. The permit to change the official use to residential allows him to sell the cabin to his son as a residence. Carl Andersen Jr. has a VA loan that won’t allow him to buy the cabin as long as it remains a commercial property.

Gwinn’s baseball star continues to rise Former WP pitcher enjoying solid college career FROM THE SIDELINES Danny Summers dannysummers@yourpeaknews.com

Back in the spring of 2013, Jeremy Gwinn was a gangly right-handed pitcher enjoying a breakout season on the mound for the Woodland Park High School baseball team. Gwinn went 6-4 that spring, with a 2.25 ERA. He had 79 strikeouts and 20 walks in 53 innings while leading the Panthers to an 11-9 record and their first playoff appearance since 2007. Few would have predicted Gwinn’s success in his senior year, based on his junior season when he was 0-3 with a 6.33 ERA in 21 innings. It just shows what you can achieve with hard work, dedication and proper training. Gwinn was a young 17 when he graduated. Rather than try to play college baseball right away, he spent a year playing for Colorado Baseball Academy, while working out constantly and looked for better ways to improve his game. He also grew a couple more inches, hitting 6-foot5. “I didn’t have that many colleges looking at me out of high school,” Gwinn told me. Gwinn chose Colby

Community College in Kansas and enrolled in the fall of 2014. After a so-so freshman season for the Trojans. Gwinn became the staff ace this spring. Using an array of fastballs (he’s hit 95 mph on the speed gun) and sliders, Gwinn posted an 8-1 regular season record with a 3.60 ERA. He had 89 strikeouts in 73 innings, while issuing just 21 bases on balls. Gwinn’s performance at Colby earned him a scholarship to Division I Bradley University in Peoria, Ill. He signed with Bradley last November. “(Bradley coaches) told me I’m going to be a weekend starter,” Gwinn said. That means that Gwinn will be pitching in the bigger series Bradley plays. The Braves play in the Missouri Valley Conference against such opponents as Drake, Evansville, Northern Iowa and Wichita State. Before Gwinn takes off to Bradley, he will have a tryout for the defending World Series champion Kansas City Royals on June 4 at Kauffman Stadium. Gwinn will be among dozens of hopefuls trying to catch the eye of Royals scouts. The amateur draft,

all 43 rounds of it, takes place June 9-11. “My dream is to get drafted and play professional baseball,” said Gwinn, who cut his teeth in baseball playing for parks and rec in Woodland Park. “I don’t know if it will happen this year, but hopefully sometime in the future. “I’m going to keep working harder to get better.” Gwinn’s ascent to Bradley, and possible selection in the draft, got me thinking about whether his feat was rare one among athletes who played sports for either Woodland Park or Cripple Creek-Victor high schools. What I discovered blew my mind. As it turns out, only one player from those schools has ever been drafted. In 1966, CC-V’s Gerry McCabe was selected by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 29th round. A pitcher, McCabe played three seasons with the Pirates organization, posting a 4-6 record in 37 games. He reached as high as SingleA. Today, the 68-year-old McCabe lives in the Los Angeles area. The last Woodland Park baseball player to play at the D-I level is Drew Antonini (class of 2002). Antonini played three years Arkansas Little Rock after starting his career at Central Arizona College. Antonini, also a pitcher, was 1-0 in 22 games for Arkansas Little Rock from 2004 through 2006. Today, Antonini lives in Farmington, N.M. Very few Woodland Park

or CC-V athletes have ever gone on to compete at the D-I level. Most of them have done so in track and field, including the likes of Marissa Urban (WP, Arizona), Allison Hawes (WP, Colorado), Shawn Dubbs (CC-V, Air Force and Colorado State) and Drew Loftin (WP, CSU). I apologize if I have overlooked anyone. Now back to Gwinn. He will be playing for a Bradley program that has produced more than a dozen major leaguers. According to Baseball Almanac, Bradley has had 14 major leaguers, with the first being Lee Handley, who played 10 seasons in the 1930s and ’40s. The most famous Bradley alum to don a major league uniform was Kirby Puckett, whose Hall of Fame career with the Minnesota Twins included a pair of World Series championships. Puckett played the 1981 season for Bradley. Bradley currently has six players in the minor leagues. “When I visited (Bradley) they showed us all the things dedicated to their former players,” Gwinn said. “It was pretty impressive.” Nine Colby players have been drafted, the last being Daniel Devonshire in 2012 by Toronto in the 37th round.

Jeremy Gwinn is the ace pitcher for Colby Community College. He was Woodland Park HIgh School’s ace in 2013. / Photo courtesy of Jeff Gwinn many years he plays in college, Gwinn is eligible to be drafted following his junior and senior seasons at Bradley. If he continues to develop – he’s still only 20 which is young for a pitcher – he could vault himself into a high-round selection by his senior season. But even if he doesn’t get drafted or play professionally, he is preparing himself for life after baseball. He plans on majoring in criminal justice at Bradley. “I would like to be a police officer or border patrol

agent,” said Gwinn, who plans on taking summer classes at Bradley to be get better adjusted for the start of the school year. Gwinn has a lot of people rooting for him no matter what direction life takes him; whether that’s helping the Bradley baseball team to a conference championship, an opportunity to play pro ball, or working in his chosen field of law enforcement. Stay tuned. The Jeremy Gwinn story is only going to get more and more interesting.

State high school track meet quickly approaching WP and CC-V could be represented By Danny Summers dannysummers@yourpeaknews. com With the state high school track meet a little over a week away, Woodland Park and Cripple CreekVictor might both have representatives at Jefferson County Stadium in Lakewood. And both are freshmen. Skye Ciccarelli has a qualifying mark in the high jump of 6-feet-1 for Woodland Park, which ranks him 15th in all of Class 4A. The top 18 advance to the state meet. CC-V’s Jordan Lanning is ranked 18th in the high jump in 2A with a top mark of 4-9. She is 8th in the 100 meter hurdles (17.43), 16th in the long jump (15-1) and 24th in the triple jump (30-10.5). But with the final regular season

meets this week, times and marks could drastically change. Woodland Park senior Devin Carter is ranked 31st in the discus with a top mark of 134-4. He needs to throw at least another seven feet to break into the top 18. Because of all the moisture this spring, many track meets have been postponed or cancelled. Teams are busy making up meets. Woodland Park had three meets last week. “It’s kind of hectic when you have three meets in five days,” said Woodland Park coach Ron Payton. “It is what it is. The kids are working hard to try and improve their times.” Woodland Park will compete in the Metro League finals May 12 & 14 at Garry Berry Stadium in Colorado Springs. The state meet is May 19-21. In the past, end-of-season league finals and regional meets played a big role in determining who advanced to the state meet.

Not anymore, since a new system of determining state qualifiers was adopted. But teams still look forward to the league meet. “It’s still nice to win the league meet,” Payton said. “But it’s really only for bragging rights.” Ciccarelli might have company at state. Woodland Park’s 4x800 relay team has been improving dramatically of late and has a chance to break through with a state qualifying time. The Panthers ran a 8:37 at the Coronado Classic on May 2, breaking the nine-minute mark for the first time this season. The team consists of Christian Cox, Jack Fisher, Jake Seib and Connor Traynor. “If they can shave another 10 to 15 seconds, they might get in.” Payton said. Last year, Hayden Erickson won the state shot put title, becoming the first Woodland Park athlete to win a state title in a decade.

Soccer season comes to an end for Panthers on ‘Senior Night’ Woodland Park was 4-10 this season By Danny Summers dannysummers@yourpeaknews.com The soccer season came to an end for Woodland Park High School on May 5 with a 5-0 loss to Vista Ridge in a non-conference game at home. It was “Senior Night” at the stadium as the program honored its five graduating players: Olivia Ostendorf, Savanna Simpson, Caitlan Thorne, Mary Paris and Carly Poe. The Panthers were 4-10 this season, 4-3 in the Class 4A Metro League. They were in the hunt for a playoff spot until the next to last conference game, a 9-0 loss to Mesa Ridge. But the losses didn’t diminish the hope for next year as younger players mature. The team was comprised mostly of underclassmen, as Thorne and Poe were the only regular starters among the five seniors. “These young girls are all competitive and they all want to win and they all strive to be their best,” Poe said. “They all want to get that ball and they all have that drive to succeed.” Among the underclassmen starters was freshman midfielder Elizabeth Blacklock. “We had an issue with not always bringing our game this year, but that will be different next year,” Blacklock said. “We will be ultra-competitive in every game.”

Sophomore goalie Maia Pappadakis echoed her optimism. “We had the potential to do a lot better than we did this year,” Pappadakis said. “We just couldn’t seem to make ourselves play well. “Next year we can take all the development that we learned from this season and add it onto another season and we can only get better.” The Panthers had trouble on both sides of the ball this spring, getting outscored 68-16. Sophomore Samantha Lecky led the squad in goals with five. She had 11 as a freshman. “We practiced shooting all the time (in practice), but when we got to games it didn’t really click,” Lecky said. Part of the Panthers’ downfall was an early season injury to junior defender Lexie Rees. She was counted on to be a stopper, but she was only able to play two games, forcing coach Andrew Pappadakis to adjust his scheme. Rees is scheduled to have surgery later this month. Among other Woodland Park underclassmen that started or saw considerable playing time this season were freshman Alaina Lafever, sophomores Madison Dixon and Jackie Korzekwa, and juniors Jaden Harford, Amelia Stein and Elise Lafever. “I’m looking forward to the responsibility that goes along with being a senior and bringing the whole team together,” Elise Lafever said. “We learned this year that when we don’t all work together things go badly. We will change that next year.”

WP closes out baseball season on high note

Woodland Park senior Jake Jansma delivers a pitch against Mitchell on May 5. /Photo courtesy of Paul Magnusen

Panthers win final three games to finish 12-7 By Danny Summers dannysummers@yourpeaknews.com Woodland Park ended its baseball season on a high note by winning its final three games last week to finish the season with a 12-7 record. “This season was great and it was everything I expected,” said senior right fielder Jason Kekich, who had a double, triple and RBI in a 10-4 victory over Mitchell on May 5 in the season finale. “The final game brought tears to my eyes because it was the end. Everything is wrapping up.” Kekich enjoyed an outstanding season at the plate. He batted .426 and led the team in RBIs (24) and extra-base hits (9). “I am so glad I got to play with these guys,” Kekich said. “I’ve had so much fun the last four years.” The Panthers had many offensive stars this season as they posted a .356 team batting average. Junior first baseman Mac McClintock led the team with a .434 average, while belting a pair of home runs (both coming in the

The Panthers won 10-4 to finish the season with a 12-7 record. /Photo courtesy of Paul Magnusen same game against Harrison on April 8) and 15 RBIs. Senior center fielder Zak Hess posted a .352 average with 12 RBIs and a team-leading 20 stolen bases, while senior shortstop utility player Jake Jansma batted .366 with 11 RBIs. Junior second baseman Sam Levy batted .414 with 14 RBIs and 13 steals. Levy got hurt in his final at bat when he hurt his right hip while taking a swing. “I got a good pitch to hit, extended through the zone and felt a pop in my right hip,” Levy said. Levy was unable to complete his at bat and was on crutches after the game. He was scheduled to see a doctor about the injury. “Golf was supposed to start for me after our last game,” Levy said with a smile. “I guess that’s on hold for a while.” The Panthers had an interesting season. Due to an unusually wet spring, they were only able to practice outside just five times since official practice got underway Feb. 29. “That’s not an excuse, because everybody had to deal with similar conditions, but I think the weather affected us a little more up here,” said first-year coach Neil Levy. “I’m really proud of the way the boys responded. They didn’t complain and they always kept a good attitude.” The Panthers got off to a rough start, losing three of their first four games. They arguably had their biggest win of the season on March 14 with a 7-6 walk-off victory over

The Tigers (17-2) are ranked 12th in all of Class 4A in Rating Percentage Index (RPI). “That was probably the biggest victory this program has had in a long time,” Neil Levy said. “Boy, I still get excited when I think about that game.” The most exciting victory of the season, according to Neil Levy and his players, was a 2-1 non-conference win over Manitou Springs on May 2. The Panthers won in the bottom of the eighth inning on Cole Trichell’s bases-loaded sacrifice fly that scored Kekich. “We played flawlessly,” Neil Levy said.11-4 “That game was our shining star of the year.” The season finale was the program’s “Senior Day.” As part of the festivities, Neil Levy started six seniors, including Dalton Lafever, who was in left field. Lafever was a fulltime junior varsity player who swung up for the finale. “It was great to see Dalton get a chance,” said senior SATURDAY shortstop Tyler Bates. Bates battled various illnesses all season, but was able NIGHT to bat .263. He hit .391 as a junior. He, like Kekich, is hop6:00 PM ing to play college baseball. “I’m going to play on a summer team and go to some PARTY showcases,” Bates said. “Hopefully I can find a place to WITH play next year.”

Woodland Park High School prepares for graduation For The Courier Get your caps and gowns ready. The Woodland Park High School class of 2016 will be celebrating its graduation on May 20 at the Pikes Peak Center in Colorado Springs. Doors will open at 6 p.m. for the 7 p.m. festivities at the center, located downtown at 190 S. Cascade Ave. The senior class is led by Valedictorian Alana Dillinger, who has attended Woodland Park schools since 4th grade. “I am by no means the smartest or most qualified person in my class to be the valedictorian,” Dillinger said. “But I think it is a testament to how hard I worked throughout the last four years to get the most out of my education.” By graduating at the top of her class, Dillinger earned the privilege of giving a graduation speech. “I plan to include memories from our four years at WPHS,” she said, including quirks about the teachers and some memories from classes. Dillinger was a member of the cross country team, track and field, Beta Club and National Honor Society. Her favorite class has always been math with her favorite high school memories centered around cross country. “I loved running with such a tight group and being a state qualifier,” she said. Another fond memory is eating lunch in the parking lot with her friends. Dillinger will be attending Gonzaga University in Spokane, Wash., where she plans on majoring in mathematics. She has received the Trustee Scholarship; the Dauna Leigh Bauer Scholarship from Gonzaga; and the AFCEA Rocky Mountain Chapter STEM Scholarship. “While I have really enjoyed high school and will miss everyone next year, I am very excited to be graduating and moving onto the next chapter in my life,” Dillinger said. “I cannot wait to be a ‘Zag’ this coming fall!” Another standout student is Rebecca Mijares, the class salutatorian. She has been a Woodland Park school student since attending kindergarten at Summit Elementary. “It is a great honor to be representing the senior class as Salutatorian,” she said. “I’m very thankful that I’m being recognized for my dedication to academics.” A member of Key Club, Beta Club and National Honor’s Society, Mijares is also in the Madrigals and played in the music pit during school musicals. She is principal cellist in the Colorado Springs Youth Symphony and traveled to

Provo, Utah, studying commercial music and neuroscience. She has received a music scholarship to BYU; a Colorado School of Mines scholarship; and a full-ride academic scholarship for her first year at BYU Provo. Other top students include: Trent Foky, a student in Woodland Park since kindergarten. He was a member of the cross country and track team, National Beta Club, and the National Honor Society. His favorite class has been AP Environmental Science where he “enjoyed learning about the natural world and how it collides/interacts with the anthropogenic world.” Trent has received merit-based scholarships for several schools such as: University of Puget Sound, Allegheny, Fort Lewis, and University of Vermont. • Jennifer Lau, who attended Woodland Park schools starting with kindergarten at Columbine Elementary. Her many activities included: volleyball, drama, theater, track, Key Club, National Honors Society, Beta Club, National Thespian Society, and choir. The past two years she participated in concurrent enrollment programs with UCCS/PPCC for the past two years, earning 60 college credits in Chinese, calculus, English and chemistry. She is headed to Pepperdine University in Malibu, Calif. She plans to major in mathematics on a pre-health tract. Her scholarships include: Calvin College Research Fellowship, Pepperdine Grant, Calvin College Diversity awards; Calvin College Academics award; Woodland Park Volleyball Club scholarship; Palm Beach Atlantic University Presidential Award; Colorado State University President’s Award; and Willamette University President’s Award. • Michael Gage, who arrived at Woodland Park High his sophomore year, was involved in band, theatre, National Honor Society, and drum line. “My favorite class was Chemistry,” Gage said. “My teacher made science fun and really sparked my interest in chemistry and science overall.” Gage plans to attend Colorado Christian University in Lakewood in the fall majoring in pre-medicine. He has received scholarships from: Wagon Boss, Trustees Scholarship from CCU, Daniels Fund Scholarship, Music Scholarship from CCU, and the Elks Foundation Scholarship.

Japan with the organization during the summer of 2014 for a performance tour. “One of the most incredible musical experiences I’ve had was when the Youth Symphony played the Japanese national anthem and the whole auditorium stood up to sing along,” Mijares said. “It was so inspirational to be bonded through music even though we didn’t speak the same language.” She is also the rehearsal assistant at the Little Mozart String program in Woodland Park and teaches private cello lessons. Her summer plans include playing in Carnegie Hall before going on to play in the Czech Republic and Germany. “I’m very excited to experience new cultures and see new places,” she said. Her favorite classes included music theory and math. “This year I was able to take Calculus II online through UCCS,” she said. “It was a great opportunity for me to have a taste of college and get some college credit while still being in high school.” Rebecca plans to attend Brigham Young University, in

Check out codes, contractors with Teller County Building Department TALKING BUILDING Terry Brunette Guest Columnist

Recently, I received an e-mail from an out-of-state financial adviser regarding a client she works with in Teller County. Her client had hired a contractor to do some work on her home. The contractor warned the homeowner that her home was unsafe because the wiring did not meet the electrical code. When the estimate for the work was too expensive for her to pay, the homeowner contacted her financial adviser to get the money transferred to her account. That is what prompted the e-mail to the Building Department questioning our local Building Codes for electrical wiring. I told the financial adviser that service work performed on an existing house does not require the entire house be

brought up to the current codes. Only new work is required to meet the current codes. Unless there was work performed that was not permitted and inspected, and therefore possibly unsafe, the house likely met the building codes that were in place at the time it was built. The only exception would be interior work done under a building permit, which triggers the mandatory installation of smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors to meet the current code. The International Code Council considers smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors to be critical life-safety features in homes. So the council added them to the code as the best way to bring as many homes as possible into compliance as quickly as possible. As far as the contractor’s estimate, there are contractors in Teller County, and everywhere, who use scare tactics to take advantage of our elderly and first-time homebuyers. I always recommend everyone get at least two estimates for any construction work you might be considering. Please don’t let anyone pressure you into signing a contract before you have time to do your research. This homeowner was fortunate to have a financial adviser

really watching out for her assets. Most older folks don’t have someone looking out for them, which makes them vulnerable targets for dishonest individuals. Please don’t hesitate calling the Building Department to ask the following questions: Does the work I’m considering require a permit and inspection? Is the company I am considering licensed to perform the work in Teller County if a permit is required? We cannot recommend specific contractors. However, you can access a list of all of the licensed contractors on our website. For questions my email is brunettet@co.teller.co.us, my direct number is 719-686-5408. Another resource for checking out contractors is the Better Business Bureau of Southern Colorado, which has a searchable online directory at www.bbb.org/southern-colorado. You can also call them at 636-1155. Be a smart consumer it could save you some headaches and possibly a lot of money.

Terry Brunette is the building official for Teller County Community Development Services.
