Simtable tells what-if? By Pat Hill [email protected]

It looks like a large board game. Players move according to the colors on a surface of crushed walnut shells that feel like sand. Actually, it’s a Simtable, a computer-based analytic tool that can highlight the direc-tion, elevation, speed and intensity of fi re in wilderness or urban areas.

“We did strategy and tactics training with the table for our crews,” said Vern Champlin, fi re marshal with Northeast Teller County Fire Protection District. “The simulations have an elevation layer in the program and a layer of fuel types and den-sity - trees vs. grass.”

The table is an interactive map of Wood-land Park\Rampart Range Road area and was on loan last month to the fi refi ghters from the Black Forest fi re department.

Director of the training show, Cham-plin “lights” a fi re someplace on the table, moving the computer-based fl ashlight to determine the intensity and location, each denoted by a color, red for elevation, green for grassland or forest, for instance. From there, crews play their roles in simulated situations.

“Fire runs more quickly up a south slope that’s preheated, warm and dry from the sun and slower down a northern slope which is cooler,” Champlin said. “The

table has all that in there so you can watch the fi re move in a simulated event in real time.”

Real time means how long it takes for a fi re engine to get to the fi re, Champlin said, incorporating the type of road, speed limit and distance from the station.

“The reality is that we have limited resources and when we commit those resources and the fi res still burns outside our capabilities - that is a very realistic simulation,” he said. “So much of it has to do with topography, temperature, wind and emergency resources.”

Last month, Champlin invited city lead-ers as well as representatives from Coali-tion of the Upper South Platte and U.S. and state forest services to view the table.

“We’ve been sort of noodling on this for the last couple weeks, just doing scenarios because we only have one factor we can control, fuel,” said NETCO board chairman Jim Ignatius. “So when the Community Wildfi re Protection Plan was developed in 2005, we tried to protect the most-heavily populated areas in this county.”

Over the years, Ignatius, at the time a Teller County commissioner, helped the county and the city bring in grants for fi re-mitigation projects outlined in the protection plan. “Zone 1 is from Painted Rocks Road to the Lions Camp which was a big fuel break we put in,” he said. “Zone 2 connected to that and went out to Cedar

Mountain Road.”Left to mitigate is everything south

of U.S. 24, or the city of Woodland Park, he added. “That’s one of the important reasons you are all here today, to show how fast we can lose control of this,” Ignatius said.

Champlin warns against complacency. “Just because there’s rain doesn’t mean that we’re not in a wildfi re-prone environment,”

he said. “It’s not too early to prepare.”While some subdivisions have certifi -

cation as FireWise communities, Cham-plin recommends going a step further by checking www.fi readaptedcommunities.com. “Fire-adapted community principles include not only fi re-wise and vegetation management but also fi re-resistant con-struction and ignitability,” Champlin said.

Fire risk less with wet weather Area trending toward a cooler, wetter summer By Ashleigh Hollowell Contributing writer

For a state that proudly advertises having more than 300 days of sunshine each year, the weather this past May has been very abnormal. However with the lingering rain clouds comes good news.

Because of the large amounts of rain the area has recently received, there are no fi re bans in place for Teller County, the overall drought level in the state has been drastically reduced, and fi re danger levels in the area are predicted to stay lower than previous years throughout the rest of the fi re season as the rainy weather con-tinues.

“The outlook is determined by examining several variables such as precipitation, snow-pack, wind events, relative humidity levels, temperatures, sea surface temperatures, ex-pected weather patterns, fuel dryness, and drought conditions,” explained Ralph Bellah, fi re prevention offi cer for the Forest Service over the Pike and San Isabel National Forests as well as the Cimarron and Comanche National Grasslands.

“We are trending toward a cooler and wetter summer. The fi re outlook for our area, with the favoring of above normal precipitation, is for the fi re season to be below normal,” said Tom Magnuson, warning coordination meteorolo-gist for The National Weather Service in Pueblo.

Additionally, because of the above average precipitation levels in the area the actual on-set of fi re season will be delayed for the state as a whole according to the National Signifi cant Wildland Fire Potential Outlook developed by the Predictive Services National Interagency Fire Center that was issued May 1, 2015.

According to the May 2015 drought update produced by the state’s Water Availability Task Force, 42 percent of the state is drought free which is a signifi cant jump compared to the previous month’s 25 percent. However, recre-ationally it is still too early to tell how this cli-mate improvement will impact local Fourth of July fi rework plans.

“We do not know as of yet what conditions will be present if at all on July 4th or in the fu-ture,” said Lt. Marc Porcelli of the Teller County Sheriff’s Offi ce.

Although the area is expected to see a wetter season, being fi re season conscious and ready is always a good idea especially in a climate where the weather is known for changing in the blink of an eye.

“April and May has been wetter across the Pike and San Isabel National Forest which in-cludes Teller County area compared to March. This has caused the fi re danger to be in the low to moderate range, but if the moisture pulses stop then the fi re danger will climb to the high to very high range within a week or two,” said Bellah.

“Take personal responsibility and prepare long before the threat of a wildland fi re so your home is ready in case of a fi re,” he said.

To ensure your home and property are not a fi re hazard, Bellah recommends taking steps such as clearing brush and debris away from your home, using fi re-resistant landscaping, and hardening your home with fi re-safe con-struction measures.

For Teller County, a community that sits be-

tween two large burn scars: The Hayman and The Waldo, burn risk is actually lowered due to a direct impact from the previous fi re damage.

“Because of the two wildfi res there is cur-rently less vegetation (fuel) to burn surround-ing the Teller County area, thus helping to re-duce the overall risk of it burning,” said Bellah.

“That said, there is still enough vegetation that will respond to an ignition source to have more wildfi res … the one key difference be-tween the burned areas and unburned areas is in how intensely they might burn if they do ig-nite. The burned areas will burn with less inten-sity because many of the heavy fuel concentra-tion were removed or modifi ed by the previous burning event,” he said.

Coupling the low fi re danger expectations for this season with informed and responsible locals will allow this fi re season to be one for the history books in a positive way.

“Brush, grass, and forest fi res do not have to be disasters. Homeowners can prepare their home and communities to reduce the risk of wildfi re damage. Take responsibility for wildfi re risk and become fi re adapted,” Bellah said.

Sheri� ’s o� ce gets a re-do Road crews working overtime By Pat Hill [email protected]

At a time when the main subjects in Teller County are rain and roads, the pub-lic works department under Fred Clifford sent a letter to county administrator Sheryl Decker to read at the commissioners’ meet-ing May 28.

“Due to the extremes in weather we have been experiencing since mid-April, Teller County crews have been deal-ing with road closures, sinkholes from high groundwater, drainage concerns, potholes and extremely muddy condi-tions. Crews have been working overtime and holidays to make sure the roads are passable for citizens and emergency-re-sponse personnel.

Teller County Department of Trans-portation supervisors are evaluating work orders and reported issues through-out the county and are prioritizing re-pairs based on safety and infrastructure protection as a priority and then will be working on other issues as time allows.

Pothole repairs and routine grading may be suspended if it is necessary to re-spond to more serious issues; however, as conditions allow, we will ensure that crews continue to attend to these issues as well. We ask that everyone be patient and understanding of the challenges pre-sented by our extreme spring weather.

Everyone should be mindful of the conditions — do not drive through run-ning water, do not cross roadways if you notice sinkholes and please report these issues to our office at 687-8812.”

In other business, commissioners Marc Dettenrieder, Dave Paul and Norm Steen approved the interior remodel and addi-tion to the Harris Building, where the Teller County Sheriff’s offi ces are located in Di-vide.

For the architectural services, Rob Seev-er’s Keystone Associates won the contract for $8,740. The work is expected to be com-pleted in the June-September time frame. The architectural fi rm is based in Green Mountain Falls.

Page Construction of Woodland Park won the contract to remodel the interior, the cost not to exceed $68,000.

Teller organization becomes Fuller Center a� liate Mission is to � nd safe, a� ordable housing for poorest residents By Norma Engelberg Contributing writer

Walter Miranda, board member and founder of New Beginnings, introduced his organization and talked about affordable housing at the May 21 Woodland Park City Council meeting.

Miranda, formerly of Teller County Hab-

itat for Humanity, created the nonprofi t or-ganization in April 2014. He said that Habi-tat is a wonderful organization but that with so many other nonprofi ts drawing on local volunteers there just aren’t enough people to go around. He said New Beginnings is looking for other ways to provide housing for the working poor who make $16,000 a year or less working minimum wage jobs in Teller County. His organization will also help people with limited income make re-pairs on the homes they own.

Collaboration between local organi-zations that provide help to low-income residents needs to be stronger he said. He

hopes that soon with that strong collabora-tion, New Beginnings will be able to rehab existing homes as well as build new simple homes. His goal is one he borrowed from the Fuller Center for Housing, an interna-tional charitable organization dedicated to providing simple, safe and affordable hous-ing to each person who needs it.

Millard Fuller founded Habitat for Hu-manity in 1976 and then launched the Full-er Center for Housing in 2005.

Besides rescuing homes and providing them to low-income families, New Begin-nings will offer training to help people be-come fi nancially stable. Miranda said peo-

ple can help the organization in numerous ways: donating cash, land or homes, volun-teering for everything from bookkeeping to repairing homes. He is also looking for housing applicants.

More information about the Fuller Cen-ter can be found at www.fullercenter.org. There is a New Beginnings link under “Lo-cations” on the Fuller Center website or visit http://dp1c.com/newbeginningsFCP/ for more information. There will be a New Beginnings community meeting at 6:30 p.m. on June 4 at the Ute Pass Cultural Cen-ter in Woodland Park and at 6 p.m. on June 9 at Bronco Billy’s Casino in Cripple Creek.

Sheri�’s o�ce gets a re-do

Beer, wine coming to WP StarbucksGirl of the West, Aide present 75th Pikes Peak or Bust RodeoBy Norma EngelbergContributing writer

In the race to win city council approval for beer and wine liquor licenses, the Woodland Park Starbucks lost to a Star-bucks in Breckenridge by two days. Wood-land Park Council approved the license at its May 21 meeting but store manager Levi Harris said he won’t start serving alcohol until mid-August.

Starbucks regional director Jeff Wills said the new program was developed to

give people another family-friendly place to bring friends. The concept has been tested in about 30 cities in almost as many states and the company will be rolling it out nationwide by the end of summer. At first, beer and wine will be served in five Colorado cities but eventually the com-pany plans to serve alcohol at around 30 Colorado Starbucks stores.

Wills said no under-aged employees will be allowed to work at the Evening Program Starbucks but the company will find other stores for displace employees, which it calls “partners.” In addition, all patrons who appear younger than 40 will be carded before they are allowed to imbibe and there will be no alcohol served through the drive thru. Beer and wine will be served

from 4-9:30 p.m., with last call 30 minutes before the 10 p.m. closing time.

The first presentation at the meeting was about the 75th annual Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo. Last year the rodeo began us-ing an invitational format, inviting some of the nation’s top rodeo athletes to compete for heavy purses. That format will continue again this year. Since the change, Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo Board President Scott Stewart said the rodeo has become one of the top 10 in the nation. As always, rodeo proceeds benefit veterans and active duty military and their families.

Dick Rackley talked about the Pikes Peak Range Riders, an organization created to promote the rodeo in particular and Western Heritage and The Cowboy Way

in general. The Riders will be riding in the Guffey area this year. Also promoting the rodeo were Girl of the West Rachael Braat-en of Black Forest and Aide to the Girl of the West Allison Mitchell of Teller County. Mitchell will next year’s Girl of the West.

The rodeo is an integral part of Pikes Peak Heritage Days, which started in April and will continue through the fall. Another popular event is the annual Western Street Breakfast, 5:30-9 a.m. on June 17 in Colo-rado Springs. For more information, visit www.cswesternstreetbreakfast.com. The rodeo event schedule is available at www.pikespeakorbust.org and the Pikes Peak Western Heritage Days event schedule is available at www.pikespeakrangeriders.net.

The application by the Woodland Park Starbucks to serve beer and wine, after 4 p.m., was approved by the city council last month. The service does not apply, however, to the drive-through window. Photo by Pat Hill

Aquatic Center land purchase contract approvedHospital water loop, county enterprise zone on trackBy Norma EngelbergContributing writer

The bond money is in the bank, the city has begun look-ing for a general contractor and on May 21 Woodland Park City Council approved a contract to purchase the property in Woodland Station that will become home for the new, voter-approved Woodland Aquatic Center.

The contract allows the city to pay the Downtown De-velopment Authority $100,000 and eliminate some of the authority’s debt in exchange for the land. The authority will not receive the cash until it completes negotiations with Vectra Bank to purchase property located to the south of the bank.

The city has also sent out Requests for Qualifications to find a construction manager/general contractor to put in charge of building the aquatic center. City Manager David Buttery said applicants will have until May 29 to submit qualifications. The city will select three-five applicants by June 3 and select a general contractor by June 25.

Buttery also said the center’s conceptual design is com-plete and work on schematic designs is beginning. Buttery said he hopes construction plans can be finished soon after the schematic designs are complete. Infrastructure work will begin this year, he said, and there might be a ground-breaking for the building foundation but actual construc-tion probably won’t begin during the 2015 construction season.

Buttery added that the $10.1 million to build the center comes to the city all at once but it is paid out in smaller increments. This gives the city the opportunity to invest the money and earn interest. The bond money won’t be just sit-ting there in the bank like money under a mattress, he said.

Downtown Development Authority updateBrian Fleer, Downtown Development Authority execu-

tive director and city economic development director, gave his monthly update.

The Pikes Peak Regional Hospital water loop has reached the halfway mark and work should be completed within 30-45 days.

The El Paso County Enterprise Zone expansion has re-ceived state permission to proceed with an application. El Paso County requested that Teller County and local cities Woodland Park, Cripple Creek and Victor join its zone. If the expansion is approved, it could mean state tax credits to create jobs and help local nonprofit organizations.

American West Housing Solutions representatives will

be meeting with the Colorado Housing and Finance Au-thority on June 10 to talk about a proposal to build 24 work-force housing units in Woodland Park at Valley View and Colo. 67. Fleer said the nonprofit organization should know by sometime this summer if its funding application is ap-proved.

Fleer introduced the city’s new Main Street Program Co-ordinator Darlene Jensen, who has previously worked with the Teller-Park Soil Conservation District, Catamount Insti-tute and the El Pomar Foundation.

The authority has worked out a Tax Increment Funding agreement with Eagle Fire Lodge for an expansion project.

Hanna Snare and Ricky Larsen, eighth-graders at Cripple Creek/Victor High School, took fi rst- and second-place prizes, respectively, at the district and state levels in the essay contest sponsored by the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks lodges across the United States.

The contest starts with the local lodges, progresses through district and state levels and ends with the naming of national win-ners at the Grand Lodge session in India-napolis.

The two won prizes on the strength of their essays on the subject “What the Pledge of Allegiance Means to Me.”

At the local level, the contest was sponsored by the Cripple Creek/Victor Elks Lodge No. 316.

Hanna Snare and Ricky Larsen took � rst and second place-awards, respectively, in the essay contest sponsored by the Cripple Creek/Victor Lodge #316.

Peak View Park opens in WP By Pat Hill [email protected]

As the trend in downsizing and simpler lifestyles affects homebuilding around the nation, Peak View Park is in the vanguard of the tiny-home movement.

A park model community on nine acres at the east entrance to Woodland Park on U.S. 24, Peak View offers a variety of options for the 399 square-foot homes. Each is customized, the proportions of the rooms up to the buyer at the time of purchase. Most of the models come with decks, some with two.

“Whatever you can imagine putting in a house, we can do,” said Pete LaBarre, who with Matt Fredell, is develop-ing the park. Customizing includes choices in cabinet fi nishes as well as fl ooring.

“In the last 15 years I’ve been involved in Teller County trying to provide affordable housing,” LaBarre said. “We have a mobile-home park and other properties that tend to fall into the category of workforce housing.”

The park model is an alternative to renting a home or apartment. “You buy it, own it and the monthly operating costs would be the equivalent to normal house mainte-nance,” LaBarre said.

The monthly lot rentals range from $425 to $500, de-pending on the location within the park. Rentals include water, trash service, road maintenance and hookups to the city sewer system.

The partners envision younger as well as older couples and maybe a single mom as potential buyers for the homes that range in price from $52,000 to $56,000. “If they’re working and have credit, they can do this,” LaBarre said.

The homes are energy-effi cient and each has gas heat. In the long run, the partners plan to have 100 to 120 park models in the community.

The models, built by Athens Park Homes, come with a 20-year warranty; the price includes transportation from the manufacturer to Peak View.

Last week, Laura and Paul Kraynick dropped in on a road trip and ordered one of the models. Familiar with a similar community in Texas, where they live in the Dallas area, the couple had their sights set on changing their lifestyle.

“We just fell in love with them; they’re so cute,” said Laura Kraynick, speaking from her home in Texas.

As the tiny-home movement takes holds in America, Kraynick considers the 399 square feet the right size. “This is not a tiny home — a tiny home is 250 square feet,” she

said.The Kraynicks plan on being semi-retired when they

move to Peak View Park this summer. Along with the cus-tom-built model, the couple ordered a 10 x 10-foot deck. “We’re going to be sitting on our front porch looking at Pikes Peak,” she said. “We’re so excited! We love the place.”

To top it off, the Kraynicks already know their neighbors - Laura’s sister and her husband will live next door when they arrive from California.

Granted, the models aren’t for everybody.“We’re minimalists,” Kraynick said.For information, call LaBarre at 502-7431.

One of the park model includes a loft. Pete LaBarre and Matt Fredell are developing the land as a park model community.

Wind storm of the century Almost anyone who has lived in Colorado

for more than a year probably has a “worst storm” story. But as noted with many less-than-promised weather conditions, ‘blizzard’ is a relative term. No one is disputing a severe storm that appeared on November, 21, 1900 claim and in fact, it has been considered “The worse storm in Colorado Springs history,” by some for more than 100 years now.

“Any resident of Colorado Springs No-vember 21, 1900 will never forget that day,” according to an article written by Edwin and Nancy Bathke for the Pikes Peak Westerners Posse. “A day and night of terror. No words can ever describe it; no pen can picture what the people of this city have known for the last 24 hours. At the present writing the wind has been blowing a gale that disorganized the city for more than 10 hours. We are shut off from communication with every other place, and people are huddled in their homes, praying that the calamity will not overtake them.”

The Bathkes pulled such a description out of one of the few newspapers that were able to print the following day. The Evening Tele-graph was unable to get out an issue at all but Gazette produced limited copies under most unfavorable circumstances.

Damage was reported in every section of the city. Telegraph, tele-phone, light and power poles were blown down all over the city. At least eight separate fi res broke out around the city destroying El Paso Ice and Coal Co.’s build-ing, Electric Light Com-pany’s powerhouse, Smith Green House and Shields-Morely Grocery, among other buildings.“On Tejon Street there was an indescribable scene. The business-

men were scurrying everywhere, trying to stay the damage. The iron roofi ng curled and tore off, landing in great heaps and littering the streets,” wrote the Bathkes.

“The six largest churches in the city suf-fered only nominal damage. The First Presby-terian, the stone coping on the west gable roof was torn away. Precautionary measures taken limited the losses. At the First Baptist Church the $1,000 stained glass window in the west

was saved with great diffi culty by stays erected in the interior. At St Mary’s Catholic Church, Father Bender hired carpenters to place stays across the west transept windows, thus saving the $1,200 memorial window.”

Other buildings were not so lucky. The Board of Brokers Building lost its roof on Te-jon Street. The Exchange National Bank build-ing was severely damaged by the fl ying debris. El Paso Bank block’s entire roof was gone and the skylights at the Mining Exchange building caved in. It blew all the windows out on the Giddings block.

Street cars were blown off the tracks in the Broadmoor area. At the roasting plant for the Standard Smelting Co., the sides of the building were torn away and the great smoke stack there was torn off its foundation. The Antler’s Livery barn caught fi re fi ve different times during the wind storm. Many trees were toppled throughout the city.

At Colorado College, the weather bureau registered wind at 82 miles per hour until the weather vane spun around so much that it became overheated and melted away.Wind speed has rarely been recorded at over 65 miles and hour in the same area since.

RESTLESS NATIVE

I’ve had an interesting last 12 months It’s been an interesting, thrilling and wild

last 12 months in the Summers’ household.June 6 will cap what has been one of the

most intriguing last 54 weeks of my life. For accuracy purposes, I am going back to May 19, 2014, to when I had double fusion spinal surgery at Castle Rock Adventist Hospital.

My back doctor told me the recovery time would be eight to 12 months. He was right. The fi rst fi ve months were brutal. I was in a lot of pain and wondered if it was the right deci-sion for me to have the surgery.

My goal prior to the operation was to lose 100 pounds in one year and hike to the top of Pikes Peak. Eight months post surgery I had gained 11 pounds and was weighing in at 324. On Jan. 20 of this year — with my health a serious concern and my son’s wedding just four months away — I decided make a drastic lifestyle choice.

I cut out all caffeine, sodas, carbonated drinks, sugar, salt and junk food. I limited myself to 800 to 1,000 calories a day. But most importantly I consumed 70 to 100 grams of protein per day.

I have always worked out at a health club, but this time I decided to do with a specifi c purpose. At least 35 minutes of cardio per day to go along with some light weightlifting and exercises that would help strengthen my back, trim my legs and rid my body of fat.

I am happy to report that on May 20 — four months to the day after I began my new lifestyle, I had lost 87 pounds. My waist went from a 46 to a 38. I went from wearing Double-X to Triple-X shirts to XL, and even large, in some cases.

My normal body weight from the age of

18 to 32 was 210 to 215. I was tone then because played a lot of basketball, base-ball and golf. I got as low as 182 pounds back in 1988, but that maintained by running three miles a day and eating like a bird.

I am losing weight at a much slower pace now — about 8 to 10 pounds per month. I should reach my goal weight of 199 by Sept. 1. I

am 6 feet, 2 inches tall, so I will be a bit on the skinny side for me, but feeling great nonethe-less. I plan to settle in around 210 pounds when all is said and done.

As for my son’s wedding; that blessed day took place May 24 in Temecula, Calif. The wedding venue was Secluded Garden Estate up in the hills of Pala. It was an amazing set-ting; sort of like hills and mountains around Colorado Springs.

My son Garrison is 21 years old and a se-nior at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. He will graduate in December with degrees in anthropology and history.

His bride, Julia, is 22 and a graduate of Cal-ifornia Baptist University in Riverside, Calif. She is so beautiful and so loving and such an amazing woman of God. Her outward beauty is evident, but it is her heart that makes her shine. Her smile lights up a room.

The wedding ceremony — it was outdoors — began around 4:20 p.m. It was rainy and cloudy in southern California the days leading up to the wedding, and there was a serious threat of rain the day of ceremony. But by the time Julia and Garrison took center stage the clouds began to break up.

The ceremony included Garrison and Julia washing each other’s feet, symbolizing their roles in the body of Christ. At the very mo-ment Garrison and Julia began to wash each other’s feet the sky opened and sun came down upon us. By the time they were done giving each other communion there was not a cloud above. It was awesome.

Julia’s father and mother — Roland and Christine — were absolutely incredible. They gave their daughter a wedding that will not soon be forgotten by the 200-plus people in attendance. They are a truly inspirational couple.

Garrison and Julia headed to Hawaii for their honeymoon. They returned to southern California earlier this week and drove to Colo-rado Springs to begin their new life together in North Gate.

On Friday, June 5, I will celebrate my 52nd birthday with them. On June 6, we will have a Colorado wedding reception ceremony at Fox Run Park.

The last year has also included me getting in a major automobile accident and partici-pating in my eighth year as a Roman centu-rion in the passion play “The Thorn.”

There’s no certainty what the next 12 months will be like in my life. My hope and prayer is that I seize each moment.

BEYOND MAIN STREET

VOICESLOCAL

Wishing in vain some rain stayed on the plain Has it been wet enough for you, lately?

Teller and El Paso counties’ spring monsoon season appears to have no end in sight.

There are the obvious problems and in-conveniences that come with incessant rain in the Ute Pass region. There’s the constant threat of the Pass being closed, trees falling on your property or across roads due to the saturated ground, springs popping up in in-convenient locations … like under dwellings … as the swollen water table seeks outlets and the undermining of our roads and the founda-tions of our homes.

The constant rain has a deleterious impact that is readily apparent to the eye but what about the not so obvious? What about the ef-fect the constant barrage of wet dreary days is having on your psyche and your health?

The fi eld of science that studies the effect of weather on our health is called human biometeorology. The International Society of Biometeorology defi nes the discipline as “the interdisciplinary science studying the interac-tions between atmospheric processes and liv-

ing organisms — plants, animals and humans.”

The most important question that biome-teorology answers is, “How does weather and climate impact the well-being of all living creatures?” Two of the topics included in the study of biometeorol-ogy are how weather impacts human health and calculating the level of tolerance of organ-isms to environmental extremes.

If you or your loved ones seem a little cranky these days, it seems that extreme rain brings out the worst in people. A 2013 study found a link between human aggression and heavy rainfall, which spiked in areas where high precipitation is not common.

Another study showed that women who were interviewed on days of heavy rainfall expressed decreased life satisfaction. When the same subjects were interviewed on sunny days, they reported higher life satisfaction.

There’s little argument that the lack of exposure to the sun (remember the sun) has a profound impact on one’s mood. The sun’s rays stimulate the production of serotonin in the brain, which is the body’s natural mood enhancer.

The scarcity of the sun in the Ute Pass these days may not just impact your mood and demeanor. Just ask people with rheuma-toid arthritis or those with joint replacement.

The change in atmospheric pressure that accompanies the storm cells as they roar through the Pass result in aches and pains in those folks that allow them to predict the weather better than most meteorologists. But then that wouldn’t take much would it?

With their no end in sight to our wet

Dear Editor:I volunteered for this year’s Ute Pass

Relay for Life Event to carry the torch for-ward; to fi nish the fi ght against cancer. My

Mom was a volunteer driver for American Cancer Society for over 25 years and she passed on last year. She started volunteer-ing after her Dad passed on from cancer and drove treatment patients until she gave up her Driver License.

You meet all kinds of folks in Relay that volunteer for all kinds of reasons. Mom always said every hour that a person vol-unteered made a difference. If I can help just one more person celebrate one more birthday, that’s worth my volunteer efforts.

Our local Relay is coming to Woodland Park Cultural Center Friday, June 12th from 4 P.M. – Midnight.

It’s not too late to join a team or volun-teer to help the night of the event. You can also support us by coming out to cheer on the walkers, enjoy the music, food, crafts & games that night. Go to www.relayforlife.org/utepass or call Tyler Schultz at 719-630-4978.

Congregation bids farewell to ShawBy Pat [email protected]

There were tears and sorrow, tinged with good wishes, at the final Sunday service led by the Rev. David Shaw May 24 at Church in the Wildwood in Green Mountain Falls.

Shaw, 37, has led the congregation, for nearly 11 years; he was ordained soon after he arrived, in a ceremony

with leaders of the Rocky Mountain Conference United Church of Christ.

With a passion for social justice, along with strong opinions about politics and issues of the day, Shaw was undaunted by pos-sible public censure. Indeed, a few years ago, he stood on a well-traveled corner in Woodland Park with a poster that demanded a raise in the minimum wage.

He risked censure by the community at large when he allowed a lesbian to serve an internship at the church several years ago. Some quit over it but most stayed and welcomed Clare Twomey with open arms. Today, Twomey is the pastor of the Vista Grande United Church of Christ.

As the minister of a church with parishioners older than he is, Shaw was beloved by the congregation — many of whom came prepared with tissues for the tears they knew would fall during the service.

At a reception and potluck, the congregation bid a fond farewell to Shaw and his wife Stacy and their children, Josie and Ben.

As a reminder of his first parish, the congregation gave Shaw a framed plaque with a commemorative plate and the words “Pastor David Shaw/First Calling/2005-2015.

Shaw has accepted a position as the pastor of a United Church of Christ parish in Montclair, N.J.

As a breather between parishes, the next day the family left for a vacation in Panama.

Local miner receives international awardBy Brad PoulsonFor the Courier

She smiles and a twinkle comes to her eye as Shannon Reyes talks about her three sons: Damian, 9, who is into sports and loves animals, Dylan, 7, who can put a smile on anyone’s face and Devon, 6, who wants to fix everything - even if it’s not broken!

These boys are the primary reason why Reyes performs the important, highly-skilled, and unique job she has. Other rea-sons include: she feels like her co-workers are her second family. “We care about each other. We watch out for each other,” she said. “It’s like playing in a big sandbox!”

But Shannon knows this isn’t play, be-cause she trains people for a serious busi-ness.

After returning from Bagdad, Ariz., Reyes is raising her boys where she grew up - the Pikes Peak Region.

In Arizona, she was mining copper and molybdenum, spent three years operating haul trucks for Freeport-McMoRan before returning home and joining the Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Co.

Within five months, she was designated as a field trainer and for the last year-and-a-half has performed as Haul Truck Training Coordinator.

CC&V operates 24 state-of-the-art and high-tech Caterpillar 793 Haul Trucks. Each truck is 27 feet wide, 22 feet tall and 43 feet long and has the capability of moving 250 tons of mined material per load.

After the mining operations have been publicly permitted, including approved and bonded reclamation plans, mining op-erations proceed like this: First, exploration takes place to identify rock-containing gold (known as ore). Then holes are drilled in the earth and loaded with explosives. After det-onation, the broken rock is loaded on enor-

mous haul trucks with mechanized shovels.The CAT trucks are powered by 2415 HP

diesel engines, have computer systems on board that monitor their operating condi-tions and cost around $5 million dollars each.

With the assistance of her mine opera-tions and maintenance team, it’s Reyes’ job to coordinate the training of operators on how to use the trucks efficiently. As she says: “If we take care of our trucks, they will take care of us!” And she is really good at her job.

In Feb. 2015, Reyes was recognized by Caterpillar, Inc. and received an interna-tional award for being CAT Global Site Plan-ner/Trainer of the month.

In addition, because of the conscien-tious effort made by all CC&V’s haul truck operators, CAT Global selected CC&V as Global Site of the month for its success in dramatically decreasing operator-induced errors.

These trucks are highly sophisticated, using computer hardware and software to track operating conditions such as physi-cal location, speed, emergencies, weights, engine rpms, operating temperatures and pressures, as well as transmission issues. This data is transmitted wirelessly to CC&V dispatchers, maintenance, mine opera-tions and CAT’s dealer in Colorado, Wagner Equipment. This data is then used to reduce operator errors - increasing the efficiency and life expectancy of a very expensive and large piece of machinery. With the assis-tance of Wagner/CAT, and the diligent ef-forts of CC&V’s haul truck operators, Reyes coordinated the training to reduce the op-erator-driven errors on CC&V’s trucks by over 50 percent since Nov. 2014.

Reyes’ professional experience has given her skills that are recognized by her man-agement, co-workers, and CAT Global.

Shannon Reyes brings her sons, Devon, Dylan and Damian, to work with her at Cripple Creek & Victor Mining Co. to celebrate her international award from the Caterpillar company. Courtesy photo

SPORTSLOCAL

Another busy sports year in Teller CountyA look back at 10 memorable moments and featsBy Danny [email protected]

When Hayden Erickson won the Class 4A state shot put championship last month, he became the first Woodland Park athlete to win a title in more than a decade.

But Erickson was not the only athlete to enjoy the spotlight. In no particular or-der, here are the Courier’s Top 10 highlights from the last 12 months.

CLINT VAHSHOLTZ WINS ANOTHER HILL CLIMB TITLE

Woodland Park native Clint Vahsholtz won his 21st championship at the 92nd run-ning of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in June 2014. Vahsholtz raced up Pikes Peak Highway in 9 minutes, 54.700 second; far short of what he was hoping for, but good enough to win his division and cement his place in history as the most successful driver ever in the “Race to the Clouds.” The Vahsholtz family of Leonard - Clint’s father, also known as “Pappy” - Clint and Clint’s son, Codie, has a record 41 titles. Leonard won 18, plus one exhibition cham-pionship in 2008 (his final year of racing), while Codie won his lone motorcycle title in 2013.

USA PRO CHALLENGE COMES THROUGH TELLER COUNTY

Last August, the USA Pro Challenge made its way to Teller County as Wood-land Park hosted a stage. The Pro Challenge brought together many of the top bicycle racers in the world for a thrilling day of ac-tion. Several thousand race fans and curi-ous onlookers made their way to Woodland Park for Stage 5. Race day also brought with it unexpected damp and cool air, and a morning weather forecast that called for rain; which is odd for the summertime in Woodland Park.

THE EMERGENCE OF RUNNING BACK DOMINIC ROSKAM

Woodland Park freshman running back Dominic Roskam emerged as a legitimate threat in the Panthers’ running game when he racked up 532 yards on 98 carries (5.4 yards per attempt). Roskam didn’t become a start until Week 5 when he rumbled for 75 yards on 12 carries against Conifer. He fol-lowed that up with a 121-yard effort against Harrison during a 34-20 Woodland Park vic-tory. Roskam, whose father Joe is the Pan-thers’ head coach, went over 100 yards two more times. 106 vs. Lewis-Palmer and 142 vs. Mitchell in the season finale.

WOODLAND PARK GIRLS MAKE STATE CROSS COUNTRY FINALS

The Woodland Park girls’ cross country team qualified for the state finals, held in late October at the Norris-Penrose Events Center in Colorado Springs. The Panthers

finished 22nd as a team. Senior Lexi Harri-son crossed the finish line first for Wood-land Park in a time of 22 minutes, 15.5 sec-onds. She was followed by freshmen Kelsie Bragg and Sandra Dillinger, .juniors Alana Dillinger and Erin Babinski, freshmen Dan-ielle Curtis and junior Joanna Waddell.

WOODLAND PARK SOFTBALL IN POSTSEASON AGAIN

The Woodland Park softball team made the postseason and played in a district tournament in Pueblo, winning one game and losing two. The Panthers easily won the Metro League and finished with an 18-4 overall record. Senior Lexie Comer was the Panthers’ MVP, batting a robust .538 with 19 extra base hits. She was also the team’s ace pitcher, posting a 17-4 record with a 2.19 ERA.

WOODLAND PARK GIRLS BASKET-BALL RECORDS 10 WINS

The Woodland Park girls’ basketball team posted a 10-13 record for its best sea-son in more than a decade. The Panthers were on track to have a winning record, but they lost eight of their last nine games. Sophomore Mackenzie Porter led the team in scoring with 12.2 points per game. Senior Katelyn Kemp was next with 11.5 ppg.

THREE PANTHERS GRAPPLE AT STATE TOURNAMENT

Woodland Park sent three wrestlers to the state meet in February at the Pepsi Center. Senior Tommy Hancock won his first-round match, defeating Pueblo East’s

Antonio Trujillo with a pin midway through the second period. Joining Hancock (37-9 record) at state were junior Garrick Arias and senior Jesse Weatherill. Arias was 1-2, while Weatherill was 0-2.

HAYDEN ERICKSON WINS GOLDWoodland Park senior Hayden Erickson

won the Class 4A state shot put title on his final throw at Jefferson County Stadium in Lakewood in mid May. The 6-foot-5, 280-pound Erickson, heaved the shot put more than 51 feet for the victory. By win-ning, he became the first Woodland Park athlete in more than a decade to claim gold at the state meet. Erickson also qualified for the state meet in the discus.

SAM HOPFE ENJOYS STELLAR SENIOR YEAR

Woodland Park senior Sam Hopfe let-tered in three sports (cross country, basket-ball, and track). He was the MVP of the bas-ketball team, leading the squad in points (12.7) and rebounds (5.4). He qualified for the state track meet in the 110 and 300 me-ter hurdles. He finished fourth in the 300.

SELLS WRAPS UP IMPRESSIVE SOC-CER CAREER

Woodland Park senior Jenny Sells wrapped up her impressive career on the soccer field by leading the team in scoring for a fourth consecutive season. The dimin-utive forward scored 21 goals and tallied 15 assists to help the Panthers to an 8-7 overall record.

SALOME’S STARSFOR RELEASE WEEK OF JUNE 1, 2015

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your Aries self-esteem level is high, as is your impatience to see more action come your way in the workplace. Good news, Lamb: It could start to happen sooner than you think.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Changing things now could upset a lot of people. But if you feel you’re acting because you believe it’s the right thing to do, others will understand and even come to support you.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A change of mind might not necessarily be a change of heart. You still want to go ahead with your plans, but you might see a better way to make them happen. So go for it.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) An old business dispute could re-emerge and possibly affect upcoming negotia-tions. Consider opening up the situation to include sug-gestions from others on both sides of the issue.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Some Leos and Leonas might find it somewhat difficult to get their ideas ac-cepted or even considered. But that’s only for a while. Things will soon return to the way you like them.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) The pace seems to be slowing down from the hectic on-the-job run you recently enjoyed. But be assured that you’re still in the race to pick up new workplace-related goodies.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Seasonal changes create opportunities for busy Librans. However, be sure to balance your workload with your personal life so that you don’t overdo it on one end or the other.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A former critic could make a surprise turnaround and become a supporter. But if your Scorpion sense suspects a questionable motive, who are the rest of us to doubt it?

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Data on a new project seems less than dependable. But it might turn out to be just the opposite. Consult with someone who knows how you might best be able to check it out.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Capri-corneans face many decisions this week, with the Sea Goat’s kids rating high on the consideration scale, espe-cially regarding vacations and upcoming school matters.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Showing that you care is what Aquarians do so well. It’s your very special skill. And this week, you’ll have several chances to show off that gift for a very special person. Good luck.

PISCES (February 19 to March 21) That streak of Pi-scean wariness should serve you well this week should you be among those who come up against a slippery character offering a fishy deal with nothing to back it up.

BORN THIS WEEK: You have an artist’s sense of how to help others see, as you do, the beautiful things about the world.

Celebrate National Trails Day on Colorado trailsColorado Parks and Wildlife encour-

ages outdoor enthusiasts and recreation-ists to celebrate National Trails Day, Saturday, June 6, on Colorado trails.

Now in its 23rd consecutive year, and initiated by the American Hiking Society, National Trails Day, is the largest annual trails celebration and promises to deliver a wide variety of outdoor activities for the public to enjoy.

Get outdoors and experience the unique panorama of Colorado while horseback riding, hiking, biking or off-highway vehicle riding on more than

30,000 miles of trails throughout the state. Accept the challenge to explore a nearby trail, learn a new outdoor skills, or support the volunteer efforts of trail organizations with friends and family.

Recreation destinations may be closer than you think.

“There are lots of opportunities to get from urban, settled areas into more remote, rural areas on trails,” said Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s State Trails Manager Tom Morrissey. “Coloradans love their trails.”

The latest state recreation plan deter-

mined that Coloradans spent 250 million activity days, or almost 50 days per per-son on a Colorado trail.

Many trails in Colorado lead right to the mountains, like Horsetooth in Fort Collins, or Pikes Peak Trail in Colorado Springs.

Not sure what trail to visit? The CPW Parks Guide highlights the many trails in the state parks that are non-motorized, Off Highway Vehicle, and Horse accessi-ble. Go to: http://cpw.state.co.us/Docu-ments/ParksBrochureWeb.pdf.

Florissant youth set for lights, camera, actionDrama/Video Club ties summer production to summer reading themeFlorissant Public Library

It’s summer and that means the Floris-sant Public Library Youth Summer Drama/Video Club is ready for lights, camera, ac-tion!! Venturing in a new direction, this

year’s production will be a 100 percent kid created variety show that will tie into the li-brary’s Summer Reading Program theme of “Heroes”.

The possibilities for kids to showcase their talents are endless, whether helping behind the scenes with costumes, back-drops, or video/audio editing, or by per-forming on the stage or screen: the show will have both live and video components. With the generous support of the Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Company and

information, contact the Florissant Library

UPRAD now equipped with pet masksBy Pat [email protected]

In a time when 150,000 pets die in fires each year, the donation of two pet oxygen masks to Ute Pass Regional Ambulance District is significant.

The masks are the result of a donation to the district by Invisible Fence Pikes Peak Region. In a ceremony last week at UPRAD, Jennifer Way, with the fence company, staged a demonstration with the Labrador, Skylar, and Nate Boyce, EMT with UPRAD.

The donation is part of the nationwide com-pany’s Project Breathe. To date, the company has donated more than 11,500 oxygen masks to fire stations in the U.S. and Canada.

“This donation is going to be invaluable,” said Tim Dienst, executive director of the ambulance district. “It’s nice to have something specific for dogs and cats.”

According to a press release, Invisible Fence plans to equip every fire station in America and Canada with the masks.

The Labrador belongs to the company’s owner in Colorado Springs, Sherry Berger,

Jennifer Way, with the Invisible Fence Pikes Peak Region, and Nate Boyce, EMT with Ute Pass Regional Ambulance, demonstrate how the pet oxygen mask works on Skylar, the 11-year old Labrador.

Beer battle could head for ballot in ColoradoCra� brewers fear e�ect of change in grocery lawBy Ivan MorenoAssociated Press

Local brewers and liquor stores are bracing for another push to allow Colo-rado grocery stores to sell wine and higher alcohol-content beer, a move opponents see as a threat to the craft beer industry.

The debate has played out many times in the state Legislature, but this time it’s moving toward the 2016 ballot for voters to decide.

Although no paperwork has been filed yet, a group with backing from grocery

chains has started drumming up support through Facebook and an online petition to change Colorado’s Prohibition-era li-quor laws.

Brewers, meanwhile, have created a special beer dubbed “Keep Colorado Lo-cALE,” a pale ale made with state malts and hops to be served at local tap rooms. The brew is intended to be a conversation starter about the looming battle.

Colorado is among five states where gas stations, grocery stores and conve-nience stores are only allowed to sell beer with an alcohol content of 3.2 percent. However, grocery chains are allowed one liquor license to sell wine and stronger beer, but they can only do that at a single store.

WPHS celebrates 80th commencement Students, administration put the fun in graduation By Norma Engelberg Contributing writer

With 80 years of tradition to uphold, about 174 Woodland Park High School graduates put their own fun-fi lled spin on commencement exer-cises. As in previous years students were encouraged to make noise and bat beach balls around during breaks in the action as commencement took place on May 22 at the Pikes Peak Center in Colorado Springs.

Because Principal Del Garrick loves to fi sh, many students brought him live fi sh in small jars to trade for their diplomas. They also brought fi sh-shaped crackers and Nemo toys. One enterprising student, Delaney Kai Dixon, brought in a smelly plate of fi sh heads, which Superintendent Jed Bowman quickly removed from the stage.

Decorated mortar boards were also in evidence. Seniors decked out their caps with messages, fl owers and “jewels.” One senior replaced his board with a colorful pizza box while another senior covered his with a chef’s hat.

Bowman told graduates to be grateful for one thing each day and to “be happy for summer.” The class Salutatorian was Dakota Herman and the Valedictorian was Samuel Hopfe. Key Note Speaker Sara Lee told students to “live their choices to the full.”

Music was provided by the Madrigals and the Senior Choir.

It was a case of “goodbye and thanks for all the � sh” as volunteers pack up all the � sh Principal Del Garrick received during the Woodland Park High School’s 80th com-mencement on May 22.
