Spring 2019 Sanborn Western Camps Alum News

The

Alum News Spring 2019

editor’s letter appy spring! (at least we hope spring is here) Having survived the March “Bombagenesis” (what a word!) blizzard which dumped more than a foot of snow on camp, we are looking forward to a summer of green meadows, abundant wildflowers, and full ponds.

You will notice that we are featuring another camp story written by alum TOM WEED (BS 64-67, Staff 68, 72) in this issue. Tom has been great about writing down his memories of camp and sharing them with us. We want to encourage other alums to do the same. It is not difficult to get published in the Alum News and our per word pay scale is simple and easy to understand. It is $0.0 per word, but you will receive our gratitude. If your story is so hair-raising that it could damage our reputation with current camp families, we may not publish it, but we will keep it forever in a “Story” book Jerry has made for eventual inclusion in a Sanborn history museum.

(Times have changed, and what may have been considered acceptable in 1960 is no longer in the “best practice” realm).

Anyway, please follow Tom’s lead and write your camp stories and share them with us. We would love to know what moments made an impact on you, and your story may provide a moment of happy nostalgia for another alum.

We have also included a story written by another alum, CARRIE BROWN (HT Staff 86, 88)-Wolf.

While not originally written for the Alum News, Carrie has given us permission to reprint it here. We hope the Summit Daily News paid her, because we did not. It is a fun and entertaining read.

We also have a lot of news in this edition—most of it comes from holiday cards, but we do snatch some of it from Facebook posts, Instagram, etc. If you have news that is not reported here, please e-mail us at alum@sanbornwesterncamps. We’re also slightly concerned about the shortage of marriages and births included in this edition—especially births, since we are already looking forward to camp enrollment in 2029. Please let us know immediately if you have a baby—we will send a “Future Sanborn Camper” T-shirt that will make him/her a crawling billboard for Sanborn Western Camps.

Have a wonderful summer. You will hear from us again next fall!

Best Regards,

Send us your news!

STORIES FROM THE SHACK

regarded rivers and creeks in the area to fish.

The building started as retired Trolley Car #71 which had been hauled up Ute Pass from Pueblo, CO, in the late ‘30s

Mike was especially talented in creating decorative walls and counters of silvered weathered corral wood from the newly acquired Witcher Ranch.

Joined by MIKE ROSELIUS (BS Staff 67-68, 70, 73) the crew unearthed the dome of the trolley car removing layers of paint from the original mahogany and brass, crafting the stained glass windows, and mounting velvet fabric on the curved ceiling above the windows.

Brothers PETE (SWC Staff 63-78) and BILL (SWC Staff 63-71) HEISLER (builders of High Trails) rearranged the walls to create a large and a small dining room, installed modern restrooms, and opened up two rooms that became the gift shop. Jane and Laura wallpapered the restrooms and entryway.

amilies bringing campers to camp this summer will notice a new business in downtown Florissant at the junction of Hwy 24 and Teller 1. The building is not new, however, and it’s a small slice of camp history.

and operated as a restaurant known as the Sidetrack Inn. During the 1950s the sign on the building said, “VAL’S TAVERN, Good Food, Bar, Dancing and Liquor Store.” It was well known up and down the Pass as a notorious gambling hall.

In the early 1970s Sandy and Laura bought a quirky building and opened a restaurant called “The Shack.” A handful of camp staff helped renovate the structure and created a popular eatery and gift shop at the crossroads of western Teller County.

By the time Sandy and Laura acquired the building, rooms had been added to the original trolley car through the years and there were 15 large and tiny rooms, including a photography lab and a creepy cellar full of cobwebs. At the east end was a two-room living quarters with a bathtub in the hallway.

The previous business was known as “The Fishing Shack” featuring equipment and licenses for local sportsmen, a blue ceiling with glowing stars, a bamboo bar, and exquisite chromeplastic furniture. It catered to folks who were headed for Elevenmile Reservoir, Lake George and the highly

A demolition crew of JOAN SANDELL WALLACE (HT 62-64, Staff 70-75), TINA MOSCHETTI McNEW (HT Staff 70-71), and MIKE RUMMERFIELD (BS Staff 70-72) had a great time knocking holes in the sheetrock and tearing out some of the walls.

During the fall that the building was being transformed, we decided to have a Halloween party at The Shack.

The building was probably haunted, right? The staff raided the costume box for some crazy outfits, loaded up “Fat Albert,” the most famous of Sanborn buses, and headed out. Sandy was driving, and as we turned on to the highway from the camp road, he held a lighted jack-o-lantern in front of his face. Imagine the astonished gazes from passing motorists as we drove the half mile to The Shack.

Setting up the kitchen at the west end of the building was a challenge in itself. Pete and Bill had to dismantle part of the outside wall to get the stove moved in. Fortunately, a crew from camp got the job done with a big assist from KEITH WILLIAMS (BS 64-67, 69, Staff 70-77) and his muscles, along with brothers LYNN (BS 59-60, Staff 64-65, 67, 72) and TED (BS 65, Staff 68-69, 72) SANDERS.

Atop the roof (The massive façade was added later.) was a six-foot metal buffalo sculpture designed by Paul Hathaway, a Woodland Park artist friend of Sandy and Laura. The iconic piece ti-

CONLEY (SWC Staff 74-87), and steak soup. The Shack gradually became a “destination restaurant,” especially after Sandy managed to acquire one of the first machines to make curly fries, which were cutting-edge at the time.

The east end of the building became a popular gift shop, managed by BETTY McLAIN (SWC Staff 66-89), featuring local crafts, Christmas ornaments and pine cone wreaths, macramé, stained glass, decoupage art, and candles.

tled “Survivor” was later purchased by the Fine Arts Center in Colorado Springs and is now permanently displayed in front of their building.

(Paul also crafted the retired High Trails gong, the tops of the camp flagpoles and the metal medallions hanging from poles at High Trails and The Nature Place.) Patterned brick floors, sun snatching skylights, and collages of historic relics gave The Shack a truly unique atmosphere.

While staff members such as LOU KILLACKEY (BS 63-78, Staff 72-74), STEVE JONES (BS Staff 69-73), and ROGER PROFFITT (BS 61-65, Staff 68, 71) took their turns at the grill, the skilled cook was MARGARET McCUTCHAN HEISLER (Staff 70-73). (Margaret and Pete Heisler were married in 1978, Camp Marriage #15, at ages 67 and 69!) Margaret was famous for her homemade pies, along with CHERYL PRIESTLY FUQUA

JANE SANBORN, ADELE WALTERS CARLSON (HT Staff 70-81), SCOTT CAMPBELL (BS 62-66, Staff 69, 73), JUDY SMITH SCHOEDEL (HT 65-69, Staff 70, 74-75), BECKY PROFFITT COOK (HT 65-66, 69 Staff 74), KEN WALLACE (Staff 71-75) and JIM “HERC” ROTH (BS 63-67, Staff 68-71) were among the camp staff who helped manage the restaurant and serve the diners –- often after a full day at camp, or getting bales of hay in the

barn, or teaching classes in the outdoor education program.

It was fun for a while, but in the long run Sandy, Laura and the supporting staff didn’t really want to be in the restaurant business. The Shack was sold in 1975 and became “The Fossil Inn.” The new owners built a high profile roof on the squatty building and made it much more visible. It continued to attract diners for many years and finally closed in 2007. The building recently housed a “flea market” store and now is home to Rocky Mountain Motor Sports.

Those of us old enough to remember all this might have forgotten a few minor details. Please let me know if you have any information to add to the story.

O

camp marriage #77

•

n March 11, 2019, MARTIE ADAMS (Staff ‘14Present) and TAYLOR JONES (Staff ’14-Present) traveled to Peoria, Arizona to say “I do.” Amidst close family and friends they exchanged vows between the raindrops to become camp marriage number 77.

Taylor and Martie have both worked at camp for the last five years. Taylor currently works on maintenance; he enjoys doing woodwork and painting the signs around the ranch. In his spare time he creates bookshelves and tables out of local rough cut lumber. Martie is the Program Director for Big Spring who delights in creating and facilitating programs. They met at a Fall gathering of camp staff. Afterwards, they began to adventure around the west together: climbing mountains, mountain biking, snowboarding and hiking with their two pups. As a tribute to their love of adventuring they created a cairn during their wedding ceremony.

They had guests of the wedding bring rocks from significant locations and built the cairn as a memorial to the covenant they made together that day.

With the skills learned and honed while working at Sanborn, Martie and Taylor look forward to many more years of adventuring and exploring.

Time traveling to 1977: Can a modern kid survive? he first few days of summer are the best. So good, in fact, that some parents take a day or two off, so they might revel in the well-remembered feeling. No more school. No more tests. No more teachers. No more social pressures. No more responsibility. Kids sleep in, hang out in pajamas and eat pancakes. It’s great. Until about the third day.

•

friends—it gives them time to dry off on the way home.

Summer can become a parent’s nightmare. What if the kids never get out of their pajamas? What if they become zombies? What if they hook themselves to screens with an I-V, and their brains shrivel into peanut-sized capsules?

No pool? Use the hose. Sprinklers are fair game, but there aren’t any fancy slick and slides or super-soakers. Other alternatives? Kids can build forts, which might take all day.

Jars of paint and some rocks offer the opportunities for kids to become Picassos. Manic monopoly will likely become a parent’s new best friend—the game can take hours, even days. Even alone, a kid can play solitaire, figure out magic tricks and build card houses (psssst: engineering skills). In 1977, games rule, especially while drinking red pop and eating marathon bars (the chocolate and caramel kind, not the protein and chia seed kind).

For today’s parents, the pressure to create a summer experience is on. A child’s summer must be filled with brainbuilding, developmentally-appropriate and organicallyfilled activities. Life becomes complicated with carpools and play dates and field trips, and, before June is over, parents cry for a schedule that does not involved cleaning a kitchen that’s cluttered with bags of chips and boxes of Cheerios. No wonder day camps and summer classes have exploded in popularity.

Lunch? Whole Foods did not exist in the disco decade, so forget about quick trips for sushi or steamed Korean buns.

Stop at McDonalds or ask the kids to make their own sandwiches: peanut butter and jelly or marshmallow fluff, but they could invent something new—like fried bologna and egg with ketchup. Long afternoons? Naps are good. Books are better. Uber-active kids get sent back outside where they invent their own projects. Maybe they’ll build a boat made from milk cartons. Who knows? They’ll figure it out.

Call me crazy, but how about throwing a TBT day? Throw Back Thursdays to 1977, or for those brave enough, participating in a full week of TBT time travel?

Remember, technology is banned during 1977 week. It wasn’t invented. TV screentime is limited unless there’s a new episode of the Brady Bunch. Game of Thrones and How I Met Your Mother did not exist. There were no clickers back then, either. If kids do watch TV, they must get up, walk across the room and physically flip through channels—all four of them. CBS, ABC, NBC and PBS were the only stations that existed. Also, television went static in the middle of the night.

Here’s what it might look like: Breakfast? Forget about whole-wheat, flax-seed filled pancakes with pure maple syrup and fresh berries. Kids get Applejacks and a sliced orange.

In 1977, kids didn’t hang out in pajamas all day, so they must get dressed and make their beds. What’s next? That’s their problem, not yours, but here’s an idea: Open the door and send them outside. If they’re young, a parent can give them a pail and point to a pile of dirt. There’s no need to sit in the sandbox and create castles by using sophisticated engineering techniques listed in Parenting Magazine. This is 1977. Kids figure it out.

Fancy field trips? Nope. Indoor skydiving and zip-lining adventures have not yet been invented, but there is the library. It might be air-conditioned. Swimming is a crowd pleaser, but remember—parents don’t go. Not only is there a lifeguard to watch them flip into cannonballs, but parents didn’t drive their kids places in 1977. During a TBT day, kids ride their bikes to the pool or walk with a group of

•

After dinner (hot dogs, Kool-Aid, Jell-O salad, baked beans, and grape popsicles), kids may find a few neighborhood kids and play flashlight tag, but, if they’ve played long enough and hard enough, they might just collapse and fall asleep.

And voila. Like that, a day is done, and you’ve survived 1977. Good luck for the rest of the summer.

(Editor’s note: This is where you are really grateful that you have signed your kids up for Big Spring or High Trails, as Carrie herself did on several occasions) This article by CARRIE BROWN (HT Staff 86,88)-Wolf was originally published in the Summit Daily News in 2016.

bits of history

The Time We Treed the Bear

By Tom Weed

n Prehistoric Times, among the more splendid of the rapidly growing camp facilities was the beautiful and scenic Big Spring dump. Definitely predating modern ideas like “ecology,” “watershed protection,” and “recycling,” the dump took birth in a ravine to the east of where The Nature Place now stands. The lovely forested setting, featuring a breathtaking view of Pikes Peak, was the last stop on the daily rounds of garbage legends like “Nasty” Ned Douglas, Eric Weidmann, and Jim “Herc” Roth.

Beyond providing a meaningful career for these heroes of tidiness, the dump supported a large community of rodents, which complicated matters when the time came to set fire to the accumulated trash. In those days there was plenty of water and moisture in the ground, so there were few second thoughts about simply burning the dump when things piled up. The immense fire, started with the aid of a few hundred gallons of kerosene, would last for three or four days.

It was the duty of the dishwashers (as AC’s were then called) to tend the burning dump through the night. The main challenge was staying awake to keep the fire from spreading.

A big problem was the tendency of the rodents to postpone their evacuation just a little too long, which, a few times a night, would send the bleary-eyed fire detail into quick action. Luckily things never got too out of hand, and the rodent colony never seemed much diminished.

But not all the rodents in the dump were pocket sized, and one day a contingent of three or four dishwashers crested the entrance to the surprise of a moderate-sized black bear.

The startled bear reacted by scrambling up a large pine nearby. Our little group vaulted out of the truck gleefully.

We had captured a bear.

Endless possibilities began racing through our minds. Even though the bear – thirty feet up in the tree – didn’t look very big or ferocious, it wasn’t likely that one of us would be able to take it home at the end of the summer and persuade the family to keep it as a pet. Better would be to sell it to a zoo and make a lot of money.

In the surrounding unburned debris, we found a large water tank, open at one end, in which the bear could reside pending zoo delivery. We rolled the tank to the base of the tree and began to address the matter of getting the bear into it.

First, we called up to the bear, pointing out the attractiveness of climbing down and being captured by us. Detecting

•

that our enthusiasm wasn’t matched, we escalated to beating on some old trashcan lids. The bear took all of this in attentively, but we realized that it was going to take something more to get it down the tree and into the tank.

As we pondered our next move, Budge Hickel drove up, behind the wheel of the Flame (aptly named and foremost among the camp’s trucks.) None of us were of a size comparable to the bear’s, but Budge was a big, strong guy, so his arrival was a real game changer. We looked at him and then at the bear, and the answer to our problem became obvious.

Budge could go up the tree and escort our new friend down into the tank.

We were vaguely aware that our plan omitted a few details. Like, how was Budge going to climb up beneath the bear and herd it downward? And how would it react to an invitation delivered at close range when it seemed so unimpressed by our plea from ground level? But we were mere dishwashers, while Budge was the Assistant Camp Director, so we figured that pretty much the only additional brainwork on our part was to pitch the idea to him.

Hard to believe in hindsight, but Budge seemed to think it was worth a try. With little hesitation, he grabbed a rope and started up. None of the rest of us could have scaled the tree even if the key to the camp store had been up there.

But we soon saw that tree climbing was among Budge’s many talents. And his ascent progressed rapidly.

Pleased with our smart thinking, those of us remaining on the ground began discussing which zoos might wish to bid for the treasure that would soon be ours. Our bear gazed down calmly, even as we were dancing around more and more nervously. It looked docile, even friendly. There was intelligence in its eyes, and its face reflected warmth and understanding. This was going to work out really well.

Budge paused about six feet below the bear, and the question of how he and the bear would trade positions seemed a little more urgently in need of an answer. As Budge rested, the bear seemed to conclude rather suddenly that all this had gone on long enough. With heart-stopping fury, the bear opened its mouth to produce a deafening roar and an impressive array of sharp teeth. It swung an immense paw down towards Budge’s upturned face, the razor-sharp claws missing their target by the slimmest of margins.

•

• Before the roar ceased echoing through the pines, we noticed that Budge was standing next to us on the ground.

Dumbfounded, we gradually resumed breathing, started chuckling, and finally began laughing, looking at each other in wide-eyed disbelief. The bear, unmoved, seemed to radiate a lot less good will than we had detected earlier. We backed away in defeat and turned toward the truck, leaving the water tank in case the bear wanted to come down and take up residence in it voluntarily. When we returned to check, there was no bear to be seen.

I don’t recall that we ever talked much about the escapade afterwards. Likely each of us privately concluded that our approach to animal collecting needed a little refinement.

Looking back, whether courage on Budge’s part or imagination on ours, none of us would ever doubt either. Nor, we think, would the bear.

THE NEW, OLD BIG SPRING LODGE Big Spring campers and staff will be excited to know that we are building an addition to the Lodge. During meals when everyone is in camp, the Lodge had begun to resemble a sardine can, so we are pushing out the East wall and creating additional space in the dining hall. We’ll have the same number of campers and staff we have always had, but everyone will have more elbow room. The enlarged space might even be less noisy, but we’re not promising anything.

The new wall on the addition will be constructed of logs to provide continuity with the original building. Every care is being taken to preserve the historic nature of the Lodge, which is one of the three oldest camp buildings.
