WP Council revisits city Aging symposium tackles tough ﬁnances, DDA ﬁnances, emails issues facing senior citizens By Norma Engelberg njengel60@gmail.com The only thing missing was Hillary Clinton and Russian hackers. Talk of thousands of missing emails, questions about deletions and ownership of the electronic messages highlighted action at the Aug. 18 Woodland Park City Council meeting. Of course, the conversation revolved around the Downtown Development Authority board, which is the town’s urban renewal agency, its former executive director, Brian Fleer, and a bloc of his emails that disappeared starting Oct. 25, 2015, through June 10, 2016, his last day on the job. The DDA recently discovered the gap and asked the city to find the emails. It did, with some help from Peak Internet, but questions linger about the emails, what was in them and whether they were intentionally deleted. During the public comment portion of the meeting, cty resident Ralph Taylor asked who really owns the emails: the city or the Downtown Development Authority? “They can’t be owned by both,” he said. City Manager David Buttery disagreed, explaining that Fleer was a city employee with two roles – director of the city’s Office of Economic Development and the DDA’s executive director. After the DDA filed a request under the Colorado Open Records Act, or

CORA, for all of Fleer’s emails, the city handed over 73,000, Buttery said, including the 23,000 emails that had disappeared. DDA board member Jerry Good asked if there was any way the city can determine whether the emails were missing because of an technology error or a deliberate deletion. City Attorney Erin Smith said determining that would be a law-enforcement issue, not a City Council issue. Good also wanted to be sure that Fleer hadn’t deleted any emails. “We can’t guarantee that we got all of them, but there were no obvious gaps,” Buttery said. “We recovered more than 20,000 emails within that (seven-month) window. It wasn’t an IT glitch, but a misunderstanding of the level of our contract. We’ve upgraded to avoid this kind of problem in the future.” Mayor Pro Tem Carrol Harvey said she deletes spam and personal emails as a matter of general housekeeping. “The DDA has all the emails,” Councilman Noel Sawyer assured Good. “A person can delete personal emails and spam but (recovering) 23,000 emails means he (Fleer) didn’t delete many.” Good still wasn’t buying the explanations. “In my opinion, the DDA has been attacked,” he said. “We want all the information. That work is open and public and I’m concerned that that hasn’t taken See “DDA finances” on 2A

Editor’s note: Sunday was National Senior Citizens Day and, in Woodland Park, the Senior Expo is from 5 to 7 p.m. Aug. 25 at the Ute Pass Cultural Center. By Pat Hill pathill@yourpeaknews.com With so many pitfalls attached to growing older in America, the Aging in Place Symposium this month presented warning signals about the lurking psychological challenges. “As people age, they wonder if their life will have meaning, if they can be useful,” said Paula Levy, in a panel discussion with Kathy Sparnins and RoMa Johnson. “When they retire, they fear losing their identity.”

The downside to aging includes feelings of insecurity, anxiety and, in many cases, the loss of a loved one, Levy said, adding that when older people lose a spouse, they often question their own survival. “That’s a tough one to answer,” she said. As well, there’s an underlying fear of losing mental faculties and, consequently, independence, with the advancing years. “I work with families who are dealing with dementia,” said Levy, who opened DayBreak, an Adult Day Program last year. “Having to take the (car) keys away from someone who has dementia is one of the hardest ones to deal with.” For the younger senior citizen who wants See “Aging symposium” on 3A

National Parks anniversary party at Florissant Fossil Beds By Courier staff All year, the National Park Service has been celebrating its centennial. But now the actual day is upon us. And as a gift to us, national parks including the Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument will be free Aug. 25-28. The big party is planned Aug. 25, the day in 1916 when President Woodrow Wilson signed the agency into law. Festivities at Florissant Fossil Beds that day include a guest speaker, the legendary Theodore Roosevelt at 3 p.m.. And, of course, there will be cake following his talk. Already, the Fossil Beds has celebrated with the opening of a new Geology Trail in June at the 5,998-acre park located about 15 miles west of Woodland Park on Teller County Road 1. You may not have known the Fossil Beds is one of 409 National Park units scattered across 50 states and territories. It was created after a long fight involving scientists and grassroots activists. Eventually, the monu-

ment was created by Congress and signed by President Richard Nixon on Aug. 20, 1969. It’s a great weekend to take advantage of the daily ranger programs that run through Labor Day. The list of daily activities includes: 10 a.m. – Ranger Talk in the Amphitheater 11 a.m. – Ranger Guided Walk on the Petrified Forest Loop, 1 mile 1-3 p.m. – Fossil Learning Lab (Yurt) 3-4 p.m. – Tour of the Hornbek Homestead Grounds And the anniversary weekend features a couple extra events. One is the Plein Air Paint Your Park Festival and Art Sale on Aug. 27-28. The other is the Kids Art Along offering great handson activities for kids including sidewalk chalk murals, clay play and face painting, also Aug. 27-28. On Sunday, there will be a wildflower walk, 9–11 a.m. Join Ranger Shawn for a weekly look at blooming flowers. This may be a one to two mile hike. Meet at the visitor center. On Saturday and Sunday, there will be ranger pro-

Today’s visitors to Florissant Valley see rolling hills and dry prairies, but 34-35 million years ago they would have seen a 12-mile-long lake dominated by and, in fact, formed by the Guffey Volcano Complex. Repeated eruptions formed the landscape and destroyed many of the lifeforms in the valley. But the ash and water also preserved their remains for present-day visitors. A trip to the monument starts with the Visitors Center where visitors can view a 14-minute movie called “Shadows of the Past.” It tells the story of how the landscape was formed, how more than 1,700 species of plants, insects and animals were preserved and later discovered and how this world-renowned scientific site was saved from developSee “Florissant” on 2A ers.

place. Maybe we don’t know that.” Sawyer, who also serves on the DDA board and is its information technology specialist, said the assumption that the board was looking for something specific in the emails is hearsay and misinformation. DDA Treasurer Tanner Coy reported that County Treasurer Bob Campbell found and fixed a software problem that led to the authority receiving less money than it expected from the assessor’s office. The authority has received an additional $76,000 from the county and its books are now in order. Coy also talked about the authority’s $1 million loan from the city. As an alternative to a bond issue or refinancing, the authority has also worked out a debt service schedule, which he gave to council members. He also asked the city for help with open records requests that have or will come in to the DDA. “If someone requests city records, we’ll send them to you,” Coy told the council. “The CORA request we’ve already received is huge and we’ll probably need help.” Smith explained that Colorado’s newly amended Open Records Law allows the records custodian to charge up to $30 an hour for research time, after the first hour. The city estimates the cost before the research takes place and typically requires a deposit. Attorney-client correspondence is privileged and is not covered under the Colorado Open Records Act, she said.

After the video, visitors can tour the center’s many displays before heading out into the monument. Digging isn’t allowed in the monument but just outside the center, some of the monument’s largest fossils, some of the largest petrified tree stumps in the world, remnants of 200-foot-tall redwood trees that grew some 35 millions years ago in a subtropical forest, scientists say. “There are no giant redwoods in Colorado now, but 35 million years ago they were scattered throughout the Northern Hemisphere,” said Ranger Jeff Wolin. “Now they live only in California and Oregon and there is another species in China. … Here in our backyard we’re preserving all of this history for future generations, unimpaired.” The monument is a great place for families. Kids can explore the past in the Fossil Discovery Lab and become Junior Rangers using a new book that is coming out this year.

The monument’s 14 miles of trails are great for hiking and some are suitable for people with disabilities; trail-suitable wheelchairs are available in the visitor’s center. “Our trails are not as heavily used as some others in the area,” Wolin said. “We have guided hikes, workshops and a Night Sky Program in partnership with the Colorado Springs Astronomical Society.” The monument also participates in the National Park Service’s Every Kid in a Park program for all fourth-graders nationwide. On a typical day, the park entrance fee is $5 per adult (16 years and older); children and federal pass holders are free.

Another board member, Elijah Murphy, said the city has an image problem. “I like this town, but I think there is an image problem because of way things are done here – the ‘Good Ol’ Boy Network.’” he said. “Don’t hold back information. Bad things don’t get better with time.” Developer Arden Weatherford asked the city to make DDA reports an agenda item so people don’t have to attend or watch the meeting to find out if DDA business will be discussed. Mayor Neil Levy said the council could easily add DDA reports to the agenda, but it won’t restrict people from talking about authority issues during public comment. Kellie Case, who served for 17 years as city finance director, said she is alarmed about city finances. “We used to keep an unrestricted fund balance of more than $400,000, now it’s only $100,000,” she said. “Cash on hand used to be $2 million, but now it’s only $65,000 because of increased debt. “You say we’re still solvent and in excellent financial condition, but I can’t see how that can be when the fund balance won’t cover even two weeks of payroll. I don’t recognize this council. The council I worked for was always careful. I think this is risky. City services could be affected.” She ended by commending councilmembers on some of their decisions, but asked them to think carefully.

Aging symposium Continued from page 1A to start a second career, age discrimination can be a stumbling block. “There’s a stigma attached to getting old,” said Levy. “So people who go into a second career are faced with the belief that old folks are set in their ways.” Yet the losses, physical as well as emotional, reflect the levels of grief on the aging ladder. “We lose our physical abilities, feel like we’re not completely safe in our homes, so there is a grief attached to that,” said Sparnins, grief counselor with Prospect Home Care & Hospice. “It’s important to identify grief because once you name it, then maybe you can pull up some compassion.” Grieving while aging is normal, Sparnins said. “Give yourself some mercy for the process you’re in – it’s natural and normal because you’re not just grieving one loss but about 17 losses,” she said. There is growth in grieving, Sparnins said. “Grief is a spiritual time, no matter what the grief is or your spiritual path is,” she said. “Grief is a consequence of love.”

Johnson enhanced the theme of spirituality attached to loss and grieving. “My passion is to work with people who are aging and going through these various stages,” said Johnson who recently earned a master’s degree in theology. “It’s pretty clear that one of the most important things is to find meaning in the experiences of our life.” In her practice, Johnson helps clients deal with the emotional and physical paralysis that often accompany aging. “People at this stage of life need respite; sometimes we get so subsumed in what’s going on we can’t see our way out – so we need a break,” Johnson said. Taking a break also means reaching out to others. “We need reassurance – it’s free and something we can give to each other,” she said. “We need somebody to tell us ‘’hey you’re doing a good job.’ We need compassion, companionship and connectivity rituals.” For seniors in El Paso and Teller counties, the Area Agency on Aging is a resource for seniors, she said. “It goes beyond feeling bad, sad or inadequate – it goes to

Amid all the pitfalls, perhaps Levy’s observation casts a brighter light on the aging journey. “There are a lot of old folks who are vibrant, healthy and ready to take on anything that comes their way,” she said.

Back to school often means back to bullying and stress PIKES PEAK BILL Bill Vogrin billvogrin@yourpeaknews.com

As anyone with children knows, it was back to school recently for children in Teller County and the region. Parents know this because they are facing the bills for all the new school supplies, laptops, calculators, backpacks, clothes and more. I hope everyone’s first day went better than one my daughter experienced years ago when she had a wardrobe crisis. I’m sure others can tell of a hair crisis or a carpool failure of some other issue that made for a memorable first day. We’d all like to think the worst our kids have to worry about as they go back to school is getting to their bus stops on time. Or remembering their locker combinations. Or whether they got their favorite teacher. Sadly, the real world is much more complicated. And, as I learned recently from listening to two national experts, back to school often means back to bullying and back to stress and back to dark thoughts that can lead to suicide attempts for some of our children. So I’m urging all parents to have the kinds of conversations my wife and I have engaged in recently with our 17-year-old son. They are conversations my own parents never would have dreamed of initiating. They are frank inquiries about how he’s doing, what he’s feeling and thinking. Don’t get me wrong. We’re so proud of Ben, of how he’s matured and blossomed as a student, as an artist, as an animal-lover, on his team and in his quest to go to college. It made him uncomfortable when we told him why we were asking about his psyche. But he knows it comes

from a place of love, not anything negative. I became convinced we had to be more aggressive probing his well-being after I heard a recent talk by Scott Poland and Richard Lieberman, nationally recognized psychologists who specialize in suicide prevention and recovery from cluster suicides. Academy School District 20 in Colorado Springs brought in Poland and Lieberman to train district administrators and staff, mental health providers, nurses, its crisis team and counselors. And they spoke to a packed auditorium at Discovery Canyon Campus, site of a shocking string of suicides among students last school year. As Poland and Lieberman stressed, DCC is not an island of dysfunction in a sea of tranquility. Quite the opposite. Schools across the region and nation suffer similar episodes of suicide and self-harm at rates that would shock you, if they were better publicized. We know this. DCC wasn’t the only school in the region to find itself reeling from the sudden and rash decision of young people to end their lives. No one is immune. That’s one of the big takeaways for me from Poland and Lieberman’s chilling discussion. The statistics were alarming: more young people have died from suicide than from cancer, heart disease, HIV/AIDS, congenital birth defects and diabetes combined in recent years, Poland said. Lieberman drove home the impact bullying plays in youth suicides. It is particularly severe among lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender, or LGBT students. I sat shaking my head at a 2014 survey of Colorado children that he quoted. It found that 24 percent felt sad or hopeless, in general. But among LGBT students, the number was nearly 60 percent. In the survey, 14.5 percent of students, in general, said they had seriously considered suicide. Among LGBT students, the number was 48.5 percent. That same survey revealed 6.6 percent of all students had made one or more suicide attempts in the previous 12 months compared to 28.2 percent of LGBT students. Stop and re-read those survey responses. From

Colorado kids. It made me incredibly sad to consider how many hopeless, suicidal children we have in our midst. And then Lieberman warned that the start of the school year is a critical time for any student at risk. Many kids dread going back to school. They drift through school, unable to fit in. They are not athletes or brainiacs, band members, actors, artists or members of any of the other cliques to which many kids belong. They don’t feel cool. They feel lost. They get picked on. They suffer. Or they do fit in but are suffering and no one notices. How could a star athlete who makes the honor roll and has so many friends be suicidal, we wonder. Both experts strongly urged parents to reach out to their children. Talk to them. Be calm and non-judgmental. Talk to their friends, too. Make sure your kids know they are loved and you consider them to be indispensable members of the family. And break down any barriers that stand between you and your children. If you have turned your child’s room into a fortress, you must penetrate it. Don’t let them get swallowed up by their smartphones, tablets, laptops and whatever sewage they happen to find floating by their screens on the internet. Isolation and feeling they don’t belong are powerful motivators for self-harm, Poland and Lieberman said. And be just as aggressive about confronting issues of bullying at school. It is a cancer that can be fatal if it is not cut out. And it can mean talking to teachers, counselors, vice principals, principals and district staff, if necessary. Fight for your kids. With passion. Like you would if they suffered a bad call on a soccer field. Think about those statistics, how 14.5 percent of Colorado students surveyed said they had seriously considered suicide. Then think about how many in our own community have done more than think about it and actually done it. I wasn’t willing to spend the rest of my life wishing I’d had that talk with our son.

Sending children off to college is no time to relax FIT AND HEALTHY Cord Prettyman cordprettyman@msn.com

So you think are over the hump as parents now that your children have graduated from high school and is headed to college? Think again. Figuring out how to squeeze all their stuff into their postage-stamp-size dormitory rooms may be the least of their problems. According to the website Live Science, college students face myriad challenges to both their physical and mental health that may have a long-term impact far past their undergraduate years. Stress, binge drinking, depression, weight gain, casual sex and financial debt top the list of the collegiate gauntlet. Stress is the No. 1 factor affecting academic performance, according to a 2012 survey of 90,000 college students. The lack of structure, alone, can create an overload

of stress that leads to poor grades, sleep deprivation and depression. Experts advise seeking help from the campus counseling and health centers. Binge drinking is reported by 40 percent of college students. Not only does heavy drinking create abnormalities in the brain, it can have long-term residual effects as well. A survey of 1,972 college students found that collegiate binge drinkers were more likely to experience alcohol dependence later in life. Research shows that freshmen suffer the highest level of depression and anxiety as they attempt to adjust to a new, challenging environment. Often, the result is increased substance abuse, poor academic performance and, in the extreme, suicide. The good news is the rate of reporting depression is on the rise, which experts attribute to better psychotropic medication and less stigma. While the fabled “Freshman 15” is not as prevalent as believed, the typical college freshman does put on 3 to 5 pounds the first year and it’s usually not muscle. For whatever reason, college students are prone to eating more high-calorie food and tend to do so late at night, while studying, and they seldom get enough exercise. With improvement in both caloric information and food choices in college cafeterias, and the existence of state-of-the-art exercise facilities on most college campuses, weight gain during your college career is not inevitable. Then there’s the challenge of rampant casual sex,

which many students believe their peers are participating in. But researchers say it ain’t so. A recent study of 1,800 college students, who had completed at least one year of college, found that students weren’t any more promiscuous during their first years of college than they were in the years prior to college. Whether that’s true or false, casual sex comes with health risks, including sexually transmitted diseases, emotional and mental distress, sexual violence and unintended pregnancy. Statistics show that, despite access to testing, treatment and prevention options, STD’s are a major health issue on today’s college campuses. And the final factor in the collegiate health mine-field is the psychological impact of the crushing debt that most college students face upon graduation. Researchers have found that students with debt are more likely to suffer from anxiety, stress and sleep deprivation. On the up-side, college graduates tend to enjoy better health throughout their lives and live an average five years longer than high school dropouts.

In the name of Chipeta RESTLESS NATIVE Rob Carrigan robcarrigan@yourpeaknews.com

I know of at least four places in Colorado called Chipeta Park. All are named after the famous Ute leader Ouray’s wife, Chipeta. There is, of course, the local version in the Ute Pass, which was renamed that in 1927, but spelled slightly different with an extra “i.” City parks in Poncha Springs, Nederland and Montrose also carry the moniker. Ouray, himself, has more than a few things named after him in the state, among them, the southwestern town and county down in the San Juans. Many label Ouray the last great chief of the Utes, but historian Abbott Fay says it isn’t so. “Ute Indians roamed the mountains in extended family groups but did, on occasion, elect a spokesman, called ‘Avought Datwdtch’ for each particular band. These representatives were therefore considered leaders only in a vague sense. Certainly Ouray served the purpose on occasion for the Uncompahgre Utes, his own band, but probably had no real leadership over the other four groups,” Fay wrote in “I Never Knew That About Colorado.” “There were five bands of that tribe here in Colorado, but white military men and politicians liked to deal with Ouray,” according to Fay. Perhaps Ouray was just in the right places at the right times, and knew the right people, in order to secure such a prominent role in Colorado history. More than a few historians link him and Kit Carson, as they grew up in New Mexico. He learned to speak both English and Spanish and had additional knowledge of the Jicarilla Apache culture of his father’s family. When the Kit Carson Treaty was breached by silver miners in 1872, Ouray met with Otto Mears, who had begun work on a new toll road in affected areas even before Congress ratified the treaty in April of 1874. Mears reportedly offered the Utes (represented in this case by Ouray) an annual annuity of $25,000 a year and Ouray himself would also be paid $1,000 per year, to allow relocation again, according to historians John H. Monnett and Michael McCarthy. He was also asked to travel to Washington, on the government’s dime, to meet with the president. But who was Chipeta? According to the Women of the

West Museum in Denver, White Singing Bird, as Chipeta was also known, was born in 1843 and grew up in the south central mountains of Colorado. She married Ouray when she was 16. Press reports commented on her beauty and grace. She was called Queen of the Utes, though the term was meant in a derogatory way by a Rocky Mountain News reporter who described her presiding over Ute “vermin” in her buckskin. But then Denver poet Eugene Field wrote a poem dedicated to Chipeta and her role in saving white hostages from Utes after the Meeker Massacre, and an adoring public embraced her for her wisdom, beauty and grace. She became as famous as Ouray. Today, there are streets, places and organizations all over Colorado and Utah named after Chipeta, writes Dr. Colorado Thomas Noel. Other items share the name as well. For example, the Colorado moth Tricholita chipeta and the potato variety developed by agronomist at Colorado State University in Fort Collins. “When Chipeta was a baby, a band of Tabeguache Utes found her crawling in the ruins of a Kiowa Apache village, the only survivor of a savage attack. The Utes adopted her and raised her as their own. She became a caretaker for Ouray’s son after Ouray’s first wife died. The two became close and married. Ouray and Chipeta were inseparable. It was rare for Ute women to travel with their men, but the two traveled together as Ouray negotiated with whites and other Ute leaders for Ute lands. Ouray received a salary for his role as an interpreter and hunter for the Los Pinos Agency. Other Utes became suspicious and assumed that the money he received was in return for selling off Ute lands.” Noel writes. But while Ouray was no longer welcome with certain Ute bands, Chipeta was accepted with open arms by everyone, according to Noel. “The counsel she kept with other Utes became invaluable to Ouray. Soon, Chipeta was giving counsel to visiting chiefs, tribal headmen and U.S. functionaries. She continued in this role for the rest of her life. It was Chipeta who stayed up all night with Ouray as the White River Utes fought with the U.S. Cavalry up north, convincing him not to ride to their aid and thus, preserving what peace the Utes had left. After Ouray died and the Utes were stripped of their remaining Colorado lands, she continued to advocate for her people and for peace.” The U.S. Government moved the Uncompahgre Utes to the Uintah Reservation in Utah. Ouray himself died in 1880. Three years later, Chipeta remarried and later adopted four children, says Women of West Museum. “After being banished to Utah, she was forgotten. On the Uintah Reservation, the Utes faced a harsh climate far differ-

They were told to farm, but most of the land wasn’t arable. The government allowed miners and others to trick the Utes and steal land from them. Chipeta survived on government commodities. Then the government subdivided the reservation and took more land away. Yet Chipeta’s spirit wasn’t broken and she still spoke for many Utes. In 1897, her brother McCook represented her opinions in Washington D.C.,” according to Noel. The public began to notice her again. People sent her gifts. She was invited to Colorado to visit Montrose and the Uncompahgre Plateau. “President Taft insisted she ride with him on his train to watch the opening of the Gunnison Tunnel. She was once again Queen of the Utes,” Noel said. She died in 1924 on the reservation in Utah. “When she died, the city of Montrose insisted she be exhumed from her humble grave in Utah and buried in Montrose in an elaborate ceremony,” Noel said. “Her brother McCook agreed and today, she rests there in her ancestral homeland.” Chipeta, who had been known to dine with Kit Carson’s family and in the lavish homes of Indian affairs agents, was eulogized in Washington D.C. newspapers and was wellloved.

Thanks to all who made Aging symposium a success To the Editor, A huge thank you to the many people who dedicated a beautiful Saturday afternoon to process the issues surrounding Aging In Place in our community. Based on the survey results from about 60 percent of the attendees, and the many glowing comments, it was a discussion worth having. Indeed, many felt it was imperative information. The success of the event was made possible with broad community support and in particular Park State Bank and Trust, Mountain View United Methodist Church, the Community Church, Teller Senior Coalition, the Golden Bridge, Vectra Bank, the chamber and Mayor Neil Levy and City Manager David Buttery. The results of the survey spoke loudly about the many strengths of our community as a place to age well. The surveys also pointed to some interesting areas of opportunity for a community that is aging rapidly. We will strive to

share that information on a larger scale in the near future. Lastly, organizing an event of this magnitude is a lot of work. The fortitude and intelligence of Nancy Thompson and Sam Gould proved that they are both huge natural resources to our community.

Regards, Dan Nicholson Woodland Park

Victor renews tradition of celebrating the arts By Pat Hill pathill@yourpeaknews.com Maybe you’ve seen them around Victor and the surrounding countryside with their paints, easels and canvas. From Aug. 19 through Sept. 1, hundreds of paintings are being created on location within 10 miles of the Victor City Hall, as well as in Cripple Creek. The artists are part of a tradition that began 16 years ago when several Victor residents launched an event that brings artists from all over the West to set up a canvas outside and paint. The event culminates on the Labor Day weekend when Victor Celebrates the Arts showcases the city, its Victorian architecture, landscapes and, always, the people. “Our mission statement is to promote art, culture, education, and business development locally,” said

Marilyn Fay, co-founder of the nonprofit organization. “We bring art and art education to a city known to have few cultural events.” The weekend bonanza is from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 3 and 4; from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sept. 5 at the Elks Hall Ballroom. Additional events, in Wallace Park, include the Brush Rush timed competition, from 9 a.m. to noon Sept. 4; and the Quick Draw and Sell, from 9 a.m. to noon Sept. 5. The sales are in the Elks Hall. As well, area students in CC/V schools participate in Young at Art, an event geared toward introducing youth to the elements of En Plein Air. Their paintings are displayed and judged at the Elks Lodge Gallery during the show. For more information, go to www.victorcelebratesthearts.org, or call 719-689-5836, or 303-781- 2643.

GMF close to pinning badge on new town marshal By Pat Hill pathill@yourpeaknews.com After going marshal-less for nearly five months, Green Mountain Falls is moving closer to hiring a replacement for Tim Bradley. Bradley walked off the job after the municipal election in April when Jane Newberry was elected mayor. Because there was no head boss, the town’s three reserve officers were forced to abandon their posts. “The top three candidates have passed their background checks through El Paso County,” Newberry said at the trustee meeting Aug. 16. As a result, Newberry scheduled interviews with the three candidates and the board for the week of Aug. 22, with an announcement of the finalist in early September. Not only is a marshal expected soon, but the town received a $25,000 matching grant from the Department of Local Affairs to hire an interim town administrator/clerk. “This is excellent news,” said Mayor pro tem Cameron Thorne. The grant is in line with recommendations by DOLA as well as Colorado Intergovernment Risk Sharing Agency (CIRSA) and the Colorado Municipal League. In July, DOLA’s regional manager, Clay Brown, offered advice for the governmental change. “We want this person to develop relationships with the community and come

up with a plan on how to implement this manager position,” Brown said at the time. “The idea is to get people used to having that person here and see how it works.” The interim position is six months. “This is a contract position and we will have evaluations by the board and the public at intervals throughout that six months,” Thorne said. The board interrupted the meeting twice to hold executive sessions on two issues: •Michael Cullinane’s request for compensation-time payout. Cullinane, former public works director, resigned last month. There was no public report on a decision after the session. However, in the public meeting, the board approved hiring Jim Van Scoten on a temporary on-call basis to maintain the roads. “He has gone above and beyond the call,” Newbery said. •Reserve Deputy Molly Stearns request for unemployment, as a result of Bradley’s effectively disbanding the department. In the public part of the meeting, the board agreed to honor Stearns’ request. “I certainly don’t agree with paying the unemployment but it is hard as an employer to overturn employee-favorable claims,” said trustee Tyler Stevens. While the board was unclear on the amount Stearns would get, Stevens said the town’s employment insurance rate would increase slightly.”

New WP Public Works, Finance directors introduced By Norma Engelberg njengel60@gmail.com

Photo by Norma Engelberg Woodland Park City Clerk Suzanne Leclerqc swears in Jim Olson, right, as the newest Board of Review member while Darwin Naccarato waits to be sworn as the first member of the city’s Personnel Board. The Personnel Board needs two more members.

Two new department heads were introduced, appointments to various boards and commissions announced and beautification awards handed out at the Aug. 18 meeting of the Woodland Park City Council. City Manager David Buttery started by introducing the city’s new Public Works Director Daniel Munn and Finance Director Mike Farina. Munn, previously a facilities manager at Colorado Springs School District 11, replaces former Public Works Director William Alspach. Farina, formerly a finance director in Parker and in Arizona, replaces Finance Director Wallie Dingwell. Both Alspach and Dingwell retired. Long-time volunteer Darwin Naccarato is volunteering for another position. He is the first appointed member of the Woodland Park Personnel Board. Councilman Paul Saunier asked why the city was making an “end-run around city management” by appointing a board. He was worried about possible litigation if the board recommends an employee’s dismissal. Mayor Pro Tem Carrol Harvey explained that the board is mandated by the city charter and until the charter is amended by the voters, the city has to form the threemember board. Jim Olson helped the city create its Board of Review, which handles disputes related to construction. Now he’ll serve on that board after being appointed by the City Council. Ellen Carrick was appointed to fill an open position on the Woodland Park Planning Commission. Carrick was out of town but Naccarato and Olson were sworn into their positions at the meeting. The council approved on first reading, an ordinance to quit-claim a 10-foot wide utility easement along Old Crystola Road and three lots owned by Walmart at the request of Intermountain

Rural Electric Association. The easement will be nonexclusive, meaning that other utility providers, including telecom, internet and cable companies, will be able to use it, as well. This item will be discussed in a public hearing at the Sept. 1 council meeting. The council also approved extending TDS Baja Broadband’s 15-year franchise agreement for another year so that City Attorney Erin Smith and Baja have more time to work out the details of a new 10-year agreement. Keep Woodland Park Beautiful gave Beautification Awards to Joanie’s Deli, Dana’s Dance and Curves of Woodland Park. KWPB secretary Dan Sloan introduced other board members in attendance, handed out the awards and encouraged other local businesses to beautify their own properties. In July, the council approved adding a ballot question to the Nov. 8 general election ballot regarding the city’s authority to provide telecommunications services (broadband). City Clerk Suzanne Leclercq reported that it will cost the city about $7,900, which was not part of the 2016 budget. She said $6,600 was left over from the April municipal election. Finding the rest shouldn’t be difficult, she said. Buttery reported that work on Memorial Park is accelerating and changes are evident every day. The city and Woodland Park RE-2 School District are working together to ensure the safety of students returning to school as construction continues on the Woodland Aquatic Center, Buttery said. Access to the construction site has been moved from Panther Way to a separate entrance off Baldwin Avenue. Fences and barriers have been installed and sidewalk and streetcrossing safety is being addressed. Concrete barriers currently in place at the Panther Way entrance will be removed within the next three weeks.

research and writings have put a human face on the hidden histories of prostitutes and the shady side of mining camps. “Wild Women of Prescott, Arizona” tells the stories of shady ladies in the uncivilized territory of Arizona. Prostitution was a widespread business in the West and often, as Collins found out in researching her latest book, some of the same paths crossed over into more than one mining camp. One such case was Lida Winchell, whose real name was Eliza Jane Crumley. Cripple Creek & Victor District historians will recognize the last name from the story about the shooting of mining mogul Sam Strong in the Newport Saloon on Bennett Avenue. As Collins found out, Lida is the niece of Grant Crumley who shot Strong in a gambling argument in 1901. Both Victor and Cripple Creek had active Red Light Districts in the gold rush days and Collins has captured several of the true stories of those who conducted business in the brothels and cribs. Collins will be at the Victor Lowell Thomas Museum at 3 p.m. Sept. 3 to relate stories about Crumley and others. She will also sign books, including “Red Light Women of the Rocky Mountains, Brothels, Bordellos & Bad Girls.” The public is invited to meet Collins at the museum and learn more about the women of the past. The event is free and will be held in the museum gift shop. For more information, call 689-5509. For more information on Collins, visit JanMackellCollins.wix.com/janmackellcollins.

Cripple Creek PD, Aspen Mine partner on Friendly Caller Program For The Courier The Cripple Creek Police Department is implementing a program to help senior citizens and at-risk individuals who live in the city limits of Cripple Creek. The Friendly Caller Program is a free service that checks on citizens with health problems, the elderly and those with disabilities who live alone. Registered citizens will place a telephone call to the police department each day at a scheduled time. If the telephone call is not made, the dispatcher on duty will try to call them. If the police department is unable to contact them, an officer will be sent to the residence to check on them.

This program provides participants with a sense of security, knowing that someone is looking out for senior citizens and at-risk individuals. It also gives the police department the opportunity to interact with members of the community outside of the scope of their regular daily activities. The department will be working with The Aspen Mine Center, TESSA and Community of Caring to educate the community, and to get citizens registered for the program. A registration form must be completed to participate in this program. They are available for pick-up at the Cripple Creek Police Department, or the Aspen Mine Center.

Panthers use Blue Mountain Ranch for team-building FROM THE SIDELINES Danny Summers dannysummers@yourpeaknews.com

When Joe Roskam took over the Woodland Park High School football program in 2011, one of the first things he did was bring back a program tradition: taking his team to Park County to spend a few days training – team-bonding really – at the legendary Blue Mountain Ranch. Last week, about 50 Panthers renewed the tradition when they joined Roskam and members of his coaching staff for three days at one of Colorado’s oldest private camps, founded in 1946 by Texas high school football coach Bob Allen. “Coming up here is awesome,” said Woodland Park junior running back Dominic Roskam. “This helps us become more of a team and we’re going to be better because of it.” Added Garrett Bonnelycke: “In order for us to win games, we have to work together as a team and not be individuals.” Blue Mountain Ranch has been the summer home to more

than 15,000 children. It all started in 1946 when Allen brought 23 members of his high school football team in Fort Worth, Texas, for training and team-bonding at an old potato farm near Florissant. Eventually, Coach Allen and his wife, Dorothy, paid $20 an acre to buy the farm, which evolved from a football camp into a full summer youth recreation program where they helped kids mature and learn to make good choices. The camp is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year.
