Show will bring Narrow Gauge RR era to life Slim Rail Club shares sights, sounds Nov. 15-16 at Cultural Center By Norma Engelberg Contributing writer

After almost 100 years, steam train engines will be heard in Woodland Park when members of the Slim Rail Club bring their 33rd-annual award-winning, op-erational, model-train modules to a new venue: The Ute Pass Cul-tural Center.

“Some clubs have operating layouts that try to emulate real operations,” said club president John Campbell, who lives in Mon-ument. “Not our club. Our pur-pose is to display our work and talk to people. We want to show accurate scale models of rolling stock and share the history, cul-ture and scenery along the lines.”

The club has two divisions, HOn3 and On3. HO refers to a scale with a ratio of 1:87 or slight-ly less than 1/8th inch per foot. The n3 signifi es narrow gauge railroads, which have rails set 3 feet apart. O scale has a ratio of 1:48 or about 1/4 inch per foot.

There are other scales used to model trains, including the

S-scale used by Woodland Park Public Works Director and club member Bill Alspach for his own home layout. S scale is 1/64th inch to 1 foot. While many mod-elers pick an era, Alspach’s home layout uses a specifi c date: Sept. 23, 1945.

“It was after the war, times were good and I can use fall col-ors,” he said. “It’s the narrow gauge train that ran between Gunnison and Sargent. You can get a lot more of the world into smaller scale layouts.”

No matter what scale is used, if the scale designation isn’t fol-lowed by “n3,” it’s modelling stan-dard-gauge trains which have rails 4-feet, 8.5-inches apart.

Campbell said Gen. William J. Palmer based his Denver & Rio Grande Rail Road on the nar-row trains used in Welsh coal mines. He thought they would be ideal for the mountainous ter-rain found in Colorado’s mining towns. The narrow trains would use less space and be able to take curves better.

Narrow gauge lived up to its promise of high effi ciency at a lower cost but there was a prob-lem. Narrow gauge and standard gauge trains could not share tracks, so wherever they met, freight and passengers had to be transferred. It wasn’t long before Palmer transformed most of his D&RG lines to standard gauge.

“There are a few narrow gauge trains left but they’re all tourist trains,” Alspach said.

The club uses module displays 20-28 inches wide, depending on the scale, and 4-feet long. They’re constructed using certain me-chanical and electrical standards so they fi t together seamlessly along a wall. The club provides end modules that allow the mod-el trains to run in a continuous loop.

The club focuses on the Colo-rado mountain mining era: 1900-1950.

“You won’t see a Kansas wheatfi eld on our modules but you will see our interpretations of narrow gauge in the Colorado

Rockies during the Gold Rush,” Alspach said.

Campbell, who works in both divisions, has a module that de-

picts the town of Fremont, which was combined with Hayden Plac-er to form Cripple Creek in 1893. Like a historical novel, much of Campbell’s Fremont is based on reality but with some fantasy thrown in.

For example, real-estate bro-kers Horace Bennett and Julius Myers bought the land they in-corporated as Fremont and, later as Cripple Creek, from a rancher named Levy Welty. However, in Campbell’s Fremont, Bennett and Myers own a men’s clothing store and the local gasoline station is called Welty’s service.

Other buildings and business-es are named after things Camp-bell became familiar with during

Narrow gauge railroads worked in the Colorado Rockies from about 1900-1950. Here is one of Woodland Park Public Works Director Bill Alspach’s home model train layout.

Slim Rail Club President John Campbell will be bringing this modular narrow gauge model to the Model Railroad Exhibition Nov, 15-16 at the Ute Pass Cultural Center. The module depicts the real town of Fremont, which later became part of Cripple Creek. At the show he’ll talk about how he makes his models and modules and the history of the town of Fremont and the man the town was named after, John C, Fremont. Courtesy photos

Bad Rock Automotive set to expand Owner wants to sell used cars, waits for council approval By Norma Engelberg Contributing writer

Garland “Mac” McClung appeared before the Woodland Park Planning Commission on Oct. 23 with a conditional-use-permit request to construct a 15,022-square-foot parking lot behind his automotive repair business at the corner of U.S. 24 and Mountain Glen Court.

He plans to use his older lot in front of his business and the new lot in back to sell used 4 by 4 and All-Wheel-Drive cars and trucks. The new lot would give him employee parking and overfl ow parking for vehicles awaiting repair or pick-up by customers. Currently, employ-ees park on Mountain Glen Court, which has caused problems for residents.

The lot would be separated from nearby residential properties by landscaping, split-rail fencing and a natural ridge.

Commissioners unanimously recommend-ed approval of the conditional use permit after a public comment period that included ques-tions from neighbors about snow storage and removal, on-street parking and landscaping. Commissioners also had questions about Mc-Clung’s plans to construct a small hard-surface display area in front of his repair business parking lot.

McClung agreed to work with resident Arnie Sparnins on extending a fence and in-creasing a buffer zone along Mountain Glen

Court. Commissioner Marti Propes easily convinced McClung to limit the number of ve-hicles he will display on the hard-surface pad to fi ve.

“I doubt if I could squeeze even fi ve vehi-cles into that space and show them properly,” he said.

Several conditions were included in the per-mit approval besides the one that Propes pro-posed, including the installation of sidewalks and curbs along Mountain Glen Court at the owner’s expense. Sidewalks and curbs from the automotive repair business to the highway will be constructed by the city using funds Mc-

Clung paid in lieu of sidewalks when he built his repair business in 2005. He would also have to make any changes to the layout if suggested by the Colorado Department of Transportation.

A letter from concerned Woodland Park citizens Kenneth and Helga Kacir is available in the Oct. 23 planning commission packet at city-woodlandpark.org.

This case will go to Woodland Park City Council for initial posting on Nov. 6. The pub-lic hearing is set for Nov. 20. Commission Chair Jon DeVaux encouraged the public to air their concerns again at the public hearing.

Diamond initiates knitting group Knitting found e� ective for women diagnosed with breast cancer By Pat Hill [email protected]

Founder of the Happiness Knitting Proj-ect, Lisa Diamond is launching a knitting circle for women being treated for breast cancer. “Knitting helps people reduce stress and increase relaxation,” said Dia-mond, N.P and chief of nursing operations at Pikes Peak Regional Hospital. “Breast cancer is the No. 1 cancer in the county and the state.”

Recognizing the stress that accompa-nies chemotherapy treatments, Diamond touts the benefi ts of knitting with others in a group setting. “Because you use both hands, you therefore use both sides of the brain so that invokes a relaxation response and increases serotonin levels,” she said.

Studies have shown that women under-going breast-cancer treatments who have some form of relaxation have improved immune function, Diamond said. “There-fore, they have a better response to their chemotherapy,” she added.

Designed for women who have been di-agnosed in the last year, the knitting group begins Nov. 10 at the hospital. “Everybody is coming from the same place; they can help each other and learn a relaxation technique that is very portable,” she said. “It’s inexpensive and pretty much anybody can learn.”

Before setting a time for the weekly Monday knitting group, Diamond plans to coordinate with women who express inter-est. “It’s fun,” she said.

For more information, call Diamond at 686-5704.

Modelers build using “practices of the day.” For example, buildings with doctor, dentist and law offices on up-per stories were typical at the turn of the 20th century. Modelers also use “selective compression.” Campbell’s Fremont module has only one sa-loon while Cripple Creek had many.

“When they see our modules, people want to know different things,” Campbell said. “They ask whether we use kits or build from scratch, did this scene really exist, how we made the rocks, trees and dirt. Some parents want to talk about techniques they can use to make di-oramas with their kids.”

Parade committee in high gearBy Tracie BennittFor the Courier

The 2014 Lighter Side of Christmas pa-rade committee is back at work planning events and activities for the 26th anniversa-ry of the Lighter Side of Christmas Parade at 6 p.m. Dec. 6 in downtown Woodland Park. The parade theme this year recognizes the impact the Beatles had on America 50 years ago with “Here Comes the Sun Snow – Cel-ebrating 50 Years of Beatlemania.”

The parade theme this year celebrates the 50th Anniversary of the Beatles’ album release in the United States and The Fab Four’s first live appearance on “The Ed Sul-livan Show.” This singular event changed America forever and provided a seismic sociological shift in our culture. With John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, the band became widely

regarded as the greatest and most influen-tial act of the rock era and according to the Recording Industry Association of America, the best-selling band in the United States.

Each year, the committee chooses a re-cipient for the parade fundraising effort. “Keeping with the music theme of this year’s parade, The Ute Pass Symphony Guild is the recipient for 2014,” said committee chair Tracie Bennitt.

The primary mission of the volunteer Ute Pass Symphony Guild is to present the annual “Symphony above the Clouds” fea-turing the Colorado Springs Philharmonic. This was the 34th year that family and friends enjoyed, at absolutely no cost, this premiere summer event.

The Guild also purchases tickets to the Colorado Springs Philharmonic special performance for elementary students. Tell-er County and Lake George children in the

fourth grade, their chaperones and spon-sors are able to enjoy a concert designed to promote the education and appreciation of orchestra music.

Support of The Ute Pass Symphony Guild helps defray the cost of bringing the Philharmonic to Woodland Park and to the school children. Their success is measured by the ever-growing number of attendees, as well as the strong support of the Teller County community, businesses, individuals and the Woodland Park Government.

The “Fill the Van” campaign is going to take place again this year, with parade at-tendees being asked to bring nonperishable food items to fill the Community Cupboard van following the parade during tree light-ing and awards ceremony at the Ute Pass Cultural Center.

The Annual Crazy Hat Contest, spon-sored by Williams Log Cabin Furniture, will

take place the night of the parade. The com-mittee is organizing the annual city wide “Holiday Treasure Hunt” that will kick off at the Nov. 14 with the first clue. The individ-ual who finds the committee’s “Yellow Sub-marine,” based on weekly clues provided at sponsor businesses, will win a gift basket full of goodies from local businesses, val-ued in the past at over $1,000. The Rampart Library District is also hosting the annual Gingerbread Contest.

CC & V fuels CUSP �re�ghtersBy Pat [email protected]

Mitigation and restoration saviors of land burned in the Waldo Canyon and Springer fires, Coalition for the Upper South Platte recently added fire-fighting to its list of accomplishments.

In a financial cheer for CUSP’s addi-tional skills, the Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Co. donated $10,000 to the nonprofit organization. “The funds helped us get the truck outfitted according to na-tional wildfire standards and helped us get personal protective equipment,” said Jonathan Bruno, CUSP’s director of opera-tions. “And the funds have helped provide training opportunities.”

For CUSP, adopting new skills fills gaps in an area where many fire departments rely on volunteers.

“Over the years, volunteer fire depart-ments in Colorado are having a really hard time recruiting volunteers,” Bruno said. “So a lot of these volunteers are older po-tentially-retired individuals. Fighting wild-fires isn’t something that’s easy.”

While Bruno expresses hope that younger volunteers will sign on, in the meantime, CUSP has on staff eight em-ployees certified to fight wildfires. “We spend a lot of time running chain saws in the South Platte watershed, so we’re very comfortable working in that environ-ment,” Bruno said. “Often times we’ll get a call and we could be a block away. So we act as initial attack on a fire.”

Physically fit because of their mitigation work in high altitudes, CUSP firefighters are the go-to guys when it comes to attack-ing a fire. “We are the mountain goats,” said Jeff Tienken, CUSP’s deputy operations director. “When they tell us there’s smoke on the other side of the canyon, to go find it, we are more adept at doing that kind of stuff because that’s what we do every day.”

In a ceremonial jaunt from the office in Lake George to Victor, Bruno and Tienken delivered a certificate of appreciation to Jane Mannon, the mine’s community af-fairs director.

“This is very exciting and it helps the communities where our people live. I think we all see the need for something like this,” Mannon said. “We view the fire truck as a rapid-response vehicle.”

The truck, purchased from Florissant Fire Protection District, carries 250 gallons of water along with fire-fighting foam do-nated by Mountain Communities Volun-teer Fire Department.

Colorado Springs Health Partners sold For the Courier and Tribune

DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc., a lead-ing provider of population health and kid-ney care services, today announced that HealthCare Partners has entered into an agreement to acquire Colorado Springs Health Partners (CSHP), a multi-specialty medical group with more than 100 physi-cians at 11 locations throughout the Pikes Peak region.

“By combining a nationally recognized patient-centered physician practice with our existing international footprint and extensive clinical capabilities, we are cre-ating a new paradigm of high-quality, af-fordable, personalized health care in Colo-rado,” said Kent Thiry, co-chairman and CEO of DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. “We are especially excited about grow-ing in our home state and look forward to more.”

CSHP, established in 1946, has been “Patient Centered Medical Home” certifi ed by the National Committee on Quality As-surance since 2011 and has been nation-ally recognized for its success in improv-ing patient blood pressure results through the American Medical Group Association’s “Measure Up, Pressure Down” project. CSHP is one of the 74 medical practices

in Colorado selected to participate in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Ser-vices’ Collaborative Primary Care Initiative and its care model has statistically shown improvement in patient outcomes along with cost effectiveness.

“We have long focused on a physician-driven, patient-centric approach to deliv-ering the right care, in the right place, at the right time,” stated Deborah Chandler, executive vice president and CEO of CSHP who will remain in her role as Colorado Springs market president after the transi-tion. “CSHP is excited to join forces with HealthCare Partners given their nationally renowned leadership in providing coordi-nated care that is physician-led, value and outcomes focused, and cost effective.”

Chandler and her executive team are anticipating expanding on their success-es with the additional support available through the new partnership.

Since 1992, HealthCare Partners has been committed to developing innova-tive models of health care delivery that improve patients’ quality of life while con-taining health care costs. It takes clinical and economic accountability, and man-agement responsibility for nearly all of the health care needs of a patient popula-tion. This includes the provision of profes-

sional services rendered by primary care and specialty physicians as well as the coordination of hospital and other ser-vices. HealthCare Partners manages and operates medical groups and affi liated physician networks in California, Nevada, Florida, Arizona, New Mexico, Pennsyl-vania – and now Colorado – in its pursuit to deliver excellent-quality health care in a dignifi ed and compassionate manner. HealthCare Partners provides integrated care management for more than 800,000 managed care patients.

The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close during the fourth quarter of this year.

Ute Pass Elementary goes all spookyBy Pat [email protected]

If it’s time for spooks and goblins roaming around, it’s high time for the Halloween Carnival at Ute Pass Elementary School in Chipita Park.

Not just any carnival, however, this one has a robotic knight in shining armor greeting visitors to a house that happens to be haunted. Oh, and there’s a mummy waiting in the wings.

For the past six years, Todd Reavis has been the mastermind behind the Haunt-ed House. A software engineer, Reavis

designs the system, the gears, wheels and motors to get the robot popping up in the house from seemingly out-of-nowhere.

Reavis has created an eerie atmo-sphere, with fog, thunder and lightning, a breathing door and darkness. “The overall ambiance is a foreboding manor,” he said. “We’ll have lots of loud music and thunder.”

Coach of the robotics team at Manitou Springs High School, which competes nationally, Reavis employs some of the same technology for the knight of the Haunted House.

He’s even brought in the high-school competitors to be part of the act. “The audience here is from preschool to middle-schoolers,” he said. “So we have different levels of what the actors will do; we’ll tailor it as best we can.”

It’s not all scary and creepy at the Hal-loween carnival, which includes a cake walk, laser tag, a jail (for the principal, Chris Briggs-Hale), a fishing game and prizes for the best costume and best carved pumpkin.

Senate candidates target Ebola responseGardner, Udall di�er on approach to travel banBy Vic [email protected]

The government’s response to the Ebola virus became a new focal point in Colorado’s U.S. Senate race last week.

During an Oct. 15 debate in Denver, Democratic Sen. Mark Udall and his Republican challenger, Congressman Cory Gardner, sparred over the effectiveness of the re-

sponse to the virus by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Gardner called for an immediate travel ban to and from West Africa, where the current Ebola outbreak resides.

“Not tomorrow, but now,” Gardner said at the KUSA-TV-sponsored debate.

But Udall said that decision should come from doctors and other health professionals who know more about the virus than politicians.

“If they believe we ought to close our borders and re-strict flights to and from West Africa, let’s listen to them,” Udall said. “But senators and congressmen shouldn’t make those decisions.”

Later that week, Udall called on the CDC and the Trans-portation Security Administration to restrict those who are being monitored for Ebola symptoms from boarding airplanes.

The Ebola virus outbreak has killed more than 5,000 people in West Africa and the World Health Organization recently said that about 1,00 new cases were appearing each week.

A man who was diagnosed with the virus in the U.S. died earlier this month. The two nurses who treated him have also contracted the disease, which is transmitted through blood and bodily fluids.

The Pentagon announced on Oct. 19 that it will build a rapid-response medical team that will provide assistance to civilian doctors and nurses who come in contact with

the virus.Gardner was critical of the government’s response to

the virus, saying that not having a total travel ban to and from West Africa poses an “unacceptable danger.”

Gardner said, “We lack a strategy to deal with the Ebola virus,” and scolded the CDC for using funds to back other, less-important areas.

“Perhaps the CDC should stop spending money on things like Jazzercise, urban gardening and massage ther-apy and direct that money to where it’s appropriate to pro-tecting the health of the American people,” he said.

The next day, Gardner asked CDC Director Tom Frie-den why a travel ban has not been put in place. Gardner’s questions came during a congressional hearing where top Obama Administration officials provided testimony re-garding the government’s response.

The CDC has said a travel ban would make it more dif-ficult to track the virus because people coming to the U.S. may find other ways to get here, under the radar.

Udall said during the debate that he has full confidence in Frieden and supports the agency’s efforts. He also criti-cized Gardner’s lack of support for the CDC, claiming he had previously sought $770 million in cuts to the agency’s budget.

“We’re not going to beat Ebola by cutting back the CDC and our public health systems,” Udall said. “That’s the dif-ference between the two of us.”

Chamber players mix it up Bene�t concert Nov. 9By Pat [email protected]

A concert that includes the music of Rachmaninoff and Billy Joel as well as Ga-briel’s Oboe from “The Mission,’ the Ute Pass Chamber Players pack a variety of sounds into the benefit performance Nov. 9.

A cultural gift to the community, the professional musicians play four con-certs a year at High View Baptist Church in Woodland Park. The November perfor-mance is a benefit for other nonprofits in the region; this year’s beneficiaries are the Woodland Park Senior Citizens’ Club and Mountain Top Cycling.

Both organizations are dedicated to making a difference for the people they serve.

“Each year we try to do a good deed by giving back to the community,” said Debo-rah Maresca, Mountain Top founder who took up cycling as a hobby.

As the face of the club, Maresca tends to be seen here and there in Woodland Park, all with the intention of putting the club’s nonprofit status in front of the public.

The year after its founding in 2011, the club’s board of directors donated 26 jer-seys to the Woodland Park Middle School Mountain Biking Club.

This year, Maresca has her eye on form-ing a mountain bike team at Cripple Creek & Victor High School. To date, Mountain Top has funded training and certification for the team’s volunteer coach Gary Hor-ton, whose day job is environmental coor-dinator for the Cripple Creek & Victor Min-ing Co.

Despite a few setbacks this season, Mar-esca is determined to get the club rolling in 2015. “I want to get the bikes, give them to the coach; the cycling club will cover all the expenses, in addition to providing the bikes, helmets and jerseys,” she said.

Along with helmets and jerseys, each team member will have a bicycle to ride in state competitions, courtesy of the cycling club. When the season is over, the cycles remain with the school for the next sea-son’s riders.

On the other hand, the senior citizens’ club is dedicated to enhancing the emo-tional lives of the older population. “At the club we provide activities, education and

social time,” said Pamela Argo, the club’s activities coordinator.

Ultimately, Argo would like to see a larger facility for the organization, which recently gained 501c(3) nonprofit status, a vehicle for tax-deductible donations.

Five days a week, the club is a center of activities for seniors, from card games to socialization over lunch. Once a month, the club’s president, Pat Danielson, pro-vides a meal with home-style cooking.

The activities counteract the tendency of some senior citizens to want to isolate,

Argo said, citing studies, along with anec-dotal evidence, that enforces the idea that socialization is critical to maintaining vi-tality during the aging process.

For the chamber players, the benefi-ciaries each year highlight the role of non-profits in Teller County, including their own 501c(3) status.

“We’re excited about the pairings, we’ve got older people and students, you have chamber music and bikes,” said pianist Barbara Riley-Cunningham. “We like the fact that it supports both the northern and

southern ends of Teller County.”For the bashful, the reluctant concert-

goer, Riley-Cunningham hints at a sur-prise. “I’m not going to tell which one - and we’ll also have other surprises as well,” Riley-Cunningham said. “I hope people are courageous and decide to check us out even if they’ve never come to a concert be-fore.”

The concert is at 3 p.m. Nov. 9 at High View Baptist Church. Tickets are $15 and available at the door or at www.utepass-chamberplayers.com.

State’s two big races closer than expectedGubernatorial, Senate contests have incumbents on edgeBy Vic [email protected]

There will be no need for manicure ap-pointments this week for the four candi-dates involved in Colorado’s gubernatorial and U.S. Senate races — because Election Night is expected to be a real nail-biter.

“This is one of the most exciting elec-tions in Colorado history,” said Bob Loevy, a longtime state political observer and political science professor from Colorado College. “I can’t recall a governor’s race and a Senate race neck-and-neck, right at the same time.”

The question for the Democratic in-cumbents, Gov. John Hickenlooper and Sen. Mark Udall, is whether they will be able to ride out an expected national Re-publican wave on Nov. 4.

Loevy said the wave historically is a re-liable one, and it’s one that could sweep U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner into the Senate and could help former Congressman Bob Beauprez become the next governor of Colorado.

Loevy calls it the “six-year pushback,” which occurs every sixth year of a U.S. presidency. The pushback is born from a midterm election political environment that historically favors the party that does not control the White House.

Loevy said the wave goes back as far as 1938, when Democrats lost seats in Con-gress during Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s presidency. More recently, Democrats dominated the 2006 midterm elections, which were held during George W. Bush’s sixth year as president.

Bill Clinton proved to be the exception

in 1998, when Democrats performed well during that year’s mid-term election cycle, a result of voter backlash against the per-ceived overreach of Republicans’ response to Clinton’s affair with Monica Lewinsky.

The wave doesn’t just just impact fed-eral races, Loevy said.

“If you back me into a corner, I would say I think the Republicans are going to win the governorship because of the six-year pushback,” he said.

If that happens, Hickenlooper support-ers surely will be asking themselves how things ever got to that point.

“That would be most inexplicable to me,” said Eric Sondermann, an indepen-dent political analyst. “If you would have told people six months ago that when bal-lots are being sent to mailboxes, it would be a dead-heat race, a lot of people would have taken that bet.”

Odds did not favor a Republican gu-bernatorial win this spring. Hickenloop-er’s quirky personality and his insistence on never running a negative campaign seemed to resonate with voters through the early part of his first term.

The state’s economy had been gain-ing steam under Hickenlooper’s steward-ship, and early Republican primary polls showed polarizing former Congressman Tom Tancredo leading the pack of GOP pri-mary hopefuls.

Instead it was Beauprez who won the nomination in June — the man tagged as “both ways Bob” when he was badly beat-en by Bill Ritter in the 2006 gubernatorial race. Beauprez’s baggage from his previous run left Hickenlooper supporters feeling good about their chances come November.

However, for months, the Beauprez campaign has hammered away at Hick-enlooper’s perceived lack of leadership in several areas. At the top of that list was the

governor’s decision to grant a reprieve for death-row inmate Nathan Dunlap, who killed four people at an Aurora Chuck E. Cheese’s restaurant in 1993. Hickenlooper received criticism for taking a middle path rather than going forward with either an execution or clemency.

The governor also caused a media stir over the summer during a gathering of state sheriffs, where he fumbled comments on gun-control legislation that he signed into law the year before.

Meanwhile, Beauprez has mostly run a mistake-free campaign. But will that be enough to take down a likable governor of a state that typically doesn’t oust incum-

bents from the job?Norman Provizer, a political science

professor at Metropolitan State University, said Beauprez seems to have learned from his “disastrous” 2006 bid and that part of his strategy this time is to simply stay out of Hickenlooper’s way while the governor makes mistakes on the campaign trail.

“It’s basically don’t do anything stupid and don’t say very much,” Provizer said.

Sondermann agrees, but added that Beauprez needs to do more than that in or-der to be successful Nov. 4.

Bad luck in the mine, or is she just no good?

Almost universally, superstitions about women in the mines bringing bad luck appear in various cultures.

This, despite evidence suggesting women entered the mines as workers in various locales, both above and below ground, very early in the history of min-ing.

As early as the second century B.C., women commonly worked in the Egyp-tian gold mines. Until it was made illegal in 1842, female miners were also fairly common in Scotland, Yorkshire, Cumbria and throughout the United Kingdom.

Still, they weren’t always welcome. Cornish miners, who have been unafraid to venture underground for more than 1,000 years, have passed on a tale from father to son, of a race of beautiful women living long ago in the forest, that tempted men by luring them away from home and family.

“To punish them the gods blasted their forest homes, changing the stately trees into black rocks which were covered by

earth,” writes Mara Lou Hawse.“Into these carbonized rocks the spirits

of the sirens were driven for an imprison-ment that would last for centuries. After serving their long period of penance, these sirens came out to wreak vengeance on mankind. Thus whenever an explosion occurred in the mines, it was a sign that more of these mythological sirens were escaping from the wall of coal, accompa-nied by the poisonous gases which carried death to every miner in their path.”

In Russia, Italy, and in the American West, similar stories of bad luck and taboo

rose to the surface. And the superstition has persisted almost right up to modern days.

When First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt vis-ited Willow Grove Mine in St. Clairsville, Ohio in March of 1940, miners warned that there would be trouble. To lend cre-dence to their stories, on March 16, a few days after her visit, an explosion ripped through the mine killing 72 miners.

Here in Colorado on Nov. 9, 1972, sixty miners walked off the job at the Straight Creek Tunnel when Janet Bonnema, an engineering tech for the Division of High-ways challenged the idea that a mine or tunnel was ‘no place for a woman.’

Bonnema took the Colorado Civil Service exam for an engineering position Division of Highways in 1970.

“She was notifi ed via letter (addressed to Mr. Jamet [sic] Bonnema) that “he” had qualifi ed for a job at the Straight Creek

Dravecky’s amazing story never gets old Dave Dravecky’s story is one of salva-

tion and has helped changed lives in a spiritual way.

His well-documented journey from a successful major league pitcher to cancer survivor still serves as an inspiration to the many millions of fans who followed the career of the San Francisco Giants star.

The former Monument resident – he lived there from 1993 through 2009 – has worked as an ambassador for the Giants since 2011. He and his wife of 36 years, Jan, now live in the Bay area and attend as many Giants games as time will allow.

Dravecky was at AT&T Park in San Francisco for games 3, 4 and 5 of this year’s World Series, cheering on his beloved team and hoping to acquire a second World Series championship ring in three seasons.

Despite his now grey hair, Dravecky, 59, is easy to spot wherever he goes in the Bay area. He still maintains that youthful smile that helped make him popular in the 1980s when he was a star pitcher for the club. And though he’s sometimes reluctant to talk about his playing days, he’s well aware that his fans and admirers thirst to know more. If given the opportunity, he takes the conversation to a deeper level.

“My challenge to people is to discover

who they are in relationship to God,” he told me recently.

For those who know his story, Dravecky’s career in baseball is secondary to his battle with cancer.

“Dave Dravecky has given God the glory, even in the adversity he has gone through,” Brett Butler, one of Dravecky’s former Giants teammates, once told me.

Butler, like so many other Giants, will never forget Aug. 10, 1989. That was when Dravecky –10 months removed from an eight-hour operation to remove a cancer-ous tumor in the upper part of his left arm – pitched eight innings to defeat the Cincinnati Reds 4-3 in front of 38,291 at Candlestick Park.

“I normally don’t go down to the bull-pen, but that day I did,” Roger Craig, the Giants’ manager at the time, told me. “I

told David he looked great. Then when he went out to pitch, I just kind of hung back. It was all for him.”

After the game, Dravecky – who allowed four hits and three runs while striking out fi ve and walking one – stood on the mound and “gave thanks to almighty God” for the miracle that enabled him to per-form against incredible odds.

Dravecky’s comeback that day in 1989 was nothing short of remarkable, con-sidering that 50 percent of his left deltoid muscle in his pitching arm was removed during the intense surgery. Doctors told him “short of a miracle” he wouldn’t pitch again.

“It was almost like you witnessed some-thing you shouldn’t see,” Craig said about the comeback game.

Dravecky was fi rst diagnosed with the tumor on Jan. 26, 1988, when tests indi-cated the lump was probably benign.

He defeated the Dodgers on opening day 1988, but made only six more starts before having season-ending surgery on June 11. On Sept. 19 of that year, Dr. George Muschler of the Cleveland Clinic indicated that Dravecky’s lump may be

An early visitor and a grand memorial In the Pikes Peak Region we hear a lot

about Gen. Palmer’s days. He brought a lot of other people into the area. Some of these are often forgotten, and Palmer is given credit for what they did. This is one of those stories about a man who has largely been forgotten around here.

One of Palmer’s surveyors for the Kansas Pacifi c Railroad, which was what brought him to this area, was sent out to look for a likely route into the mountains. Out on the Smoky Hill Trail, a popular route from Kansas to Denver, the surveys for a line west was still in question. The railroad was building in Kansas, but Colo-rado was still unknown land, Denver was the western end of the Smoky Hill Trail,

but was it the best way to get to the moun-tains? Palmer had followed Zebulon Pike’s path along the Arkansas River and south to New Mexico, but the area between the Arkansas and Smoky Hill Trail was pretty unknown.

In 1868 Palmer sent H.L. Holbrook to

look at this area. It was Holbrook’s second visit to the area, and he brought another surveyor to help draw the maps, Lewis Kingman. They started at a point called River Bend out on the trail. He discovered that a dark area to the west was a forest, which hid a ridge which ran almost di-rectly west. It separated the Arkansas River watershed from the South Platte water-shed to the north. The trip west gradually climbed with regular hills along the way. As the men traveled the mountains to the west came into view, from Long’s Peak all the way south to Pikes Peak and beyond. At the end of their survey, they found a gap in the ridge, where it met the moun-tains, and a little lake. Along the way they

had crossed several trails, some very old. They had also seen some pretty spectacu-lar rock formations.

The lake is what we know as Palmer Lake. Holbrook and Kingman, after this survey was fi nished, both took jobs with the Santa Fe railroad, who was needing surveyors for their construction through New Mexico and Arizona to California. Both had stations on the railroad named after them, now well-established towns. Holbrook returned to Colorado at the turn of the century, and is buried in one of the cemeteries in Pueblo.

I know people see his big memorial, and walk by, never knowing the signifi -cance.

Welcome to age of embeddable implants Remember Lee Majors as astronaut

Steve Austin in the 1970s TV series The Six Million Dollar Man? Austin was severely injured in the crash of an experimental aircraft.

His right arm, both legs and left eye were replaced with bionic implants that enhanced his strength, speed and vision far beyond human capabilities. Pretty far-fetched, huh?

Fast-forward 40 years and welcome to the age of embeddable implants. Soon, you may be able to forget about all the wearable tech gear on the market, today and have a new generation of devices surgically implanted in your body, which could change not only the way you live but the way you experience life.

Here’s one example. Smart phones are great for getting directions, until you lose your server’s signal leaving you lost in the woods.

Electronic engineer and biohacker Bri-an McEvoy, however, has designed the fi rst internal compass and plans to be its fi rst

test subject. Biohacking is the process of tinkering with DNA and other aspects of the human body as an amateur and McE-voy is known as a Grinder, who are people designing and implementing technologies to be directly integrated into the human body.

According to CNN TECH, McEvoy’s device, known as the Southpaw, works by sealing a miniature compass inside a sili-con coat within a Titanium shell to be im-planted under the skin. An ultra-thin whis-ker juts out, which is activated when the user faces north to lightly brush an alert on the underside of the skin.

The plan is to have the device located near the shoulder. McEvoy says, “I don’t foresee and safety issues,” however, he is working with experts to minimize the risk before proceeding.

In other developments, Grindhouse Wetware CEO Tim Cannon embedded a micro-computer called the “Circadia” in his arm, which collects and transmits tem-perature data via Bluetooth technology. And Rich Lee, another Grinder star, has pioneered the use of implanted magnets.

Lee embedded a magnet in each ear that converts sound into electromagnetic fi elds and transmits music through a wire coil he wears around his neck creating the fi rst internal headphones. “It’s a sixth sense,” says Lee. “I can hear heat from a distance and I can detect magnetic and Wi-Fi signals, so much of the world that I had no awareness of.”

Sensory delight is not the only arena for implantable devices. Researchers from the University of Texas and the University of Tokyo have created electronic devices that

become soft, when implanted inside the body, and can grip large tissue, nerves and blood vessels inside the body.

These biologically adaptive and fl exible transistors may one day help doctors learn more about what is happening inside the body potentially reshaping medical care.

If you’re thinking about implanting a small electronic device in your body your-self, which many biohackers do, you may want to heed the words of Dr. Anthony Guiseppe-Elie, professor of bioengineer-ing at the University of South Carolina. “Anyone doing this to themselves should stop.”

Like so much of what is going on today, time will tell.

cancerous, and a biopsy was needed. The tumor was removed two weeks later.

Shockingly, Dravecky’s comeback lasted only one more start.

Five days after defeating the Reds, Dravecky was on the mound in Montreal against the Expos. In the sixth inning as he delivered his 69th pitch to Tim Raines, his left arm broke in two places and he fell to the ground in agonizing pain.

Dravecky’s arm was put in a cast and he left the team to recover at home. Two months later he joined in the celebration after the Giants won the National League pennant. He was inadvertently hit from behind and thrown into the pile. His arm fractured again.

On Oct. 27, doctors found that the cancer had returned. Dravecky retired on Nov. 13, 1989.

Two more surgeries and radiation failed to eliminate it. On June 18, 1991, Dravecky’s left arm and shoulder were amputated.

“I look back on this now and God’s hand is so clear,” Dravecky said. “The can-cer, the comeback, the broken arm. Being a major league baseball player and having all that exposure. Establishing a platform as a result of that gift. To be able to share God’s love is the most important aspect of him life with those who are hurting, just like I hurt. With those who have struggled just like I’ve struggled. That is why this story continues to go on.”

Hall of Fame pitcher Rich “Goose” Gos-sage, a resident of Colorado Springs, was a teammate of Dravecky’s in San Diego and San Francisco.

“He didn’t clean up his life after this happened to him; he was already strong in his faith,” Gossage told me. “It’s his courage and faith and family that defi ne Dave. What he’s done for so many people is remarkable. It shows what kind of a person he is.”

Dravecky and Jan started Outreach of Hope ministry in 1991. It was based in Gleneagle for many years. The ministry is now called Endurance.

Dravecky used to spend much of the year traveling and sharing his story with cancer victims and those facing life-alter-ing affl ictions. He spent many hours each day answering email and calling people.

Dravecky still shares his story when time allows, but from the start of spring training in mid February to the end of the season, he is a regular at baseball parks, usually with Jan, cheering on his beloved Giants.

And while it might seem that Dravecky has it all together, he knows that his story is not complete.

“I would be willing to admit today that I have grown more through the bad and the ugly than I ever did through the good,” he said. “Without Jesus I’m nothing.”

Dravecky often points to the Bible verse in I John 3:18 when sharing his story.

“Loving with actions and in truth, and then offering a hope, is what God desires of me,” he said. “The hope is not here on this earth. I cannot offer anyone hope that they will survive while they are here on this earth. But one thing that I can offer through Jesus Christ is an eternal hope that will last forever.”

Most of us have walked through many fi res and faced adversity we never thought we would get through. Knowing Dravecky’s story I am humbled and in-spired and honored to call him my friend.

Experience His PresenceEncounter His PowerExpand His Kingdom

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear editor:

Last year we discovered that a few of the powers in Teller County had caused a change to the offi cial Divide planning map where the term “Rural Resort” was placed on a few select properties.

It was believed that this designation would give these properties perceived special status, and that these properties would be allowed to expand without the necessity of public scrutiny. They were wrong, and have been fi ghting an uphill battle ever since. Pat Hill of the Courier View, attempted to report about this in her article in the July 16th paper. She did not have a clue as to what she was writing since she only reported what she heard during a 20 minute hearing. Ms. Hill never took the time to ask any questions of the group who were trying to keep the County honest. A reporter should search out all sides of an issue before submitting the article for publication.

Now these powers have come up with a new way to screw the people of Teller County. LUR 00043(14) is titled as a text amendment, but if anyone reads beyond the second sentence they will see that it is an attempt to change the zoning regula-tions for Teller County. This application strives to make Campground/Retreats/

Educational Facilities an approved use on A-1 (Ag) land. This means that if you live anywhere in the rural area of Teller County, and you have any A-1 land next or near to you, you may have a shock when you see the construction equipment on this land. If it is granted as a right of use on A-1 land, no one must notify you when it is planned for a new Campground/Re-treat/Educational Facility. If you already have one of these next to you, you will never know when they decide to do an-other expansion or decide to construct a new soccer fi eld, rifl e range, etc. Some of the things that will be a right of use under this proposal will be recreational vehicle (RV) parks, sports fi elds, zip lines, etc. By being a right of use, again, you will never know of it until it is done. There would be no Planning Commission hearing, and no Board of County Commissioners. No over-sight, no transparency, no accountability.

You need to contact the Teller County Planning Department of one (1), and get a copy of the application. Read it. Watch for the hearing announcement in the paper. Write a letter, or better yet, show up at the hearing at let everyone know that you care about what is going on around you.

Tunnel. When she called to discuss the salary, the state employment offi cer the offer had been for a male (he thought Jamet was James), and that she didn’t want the job because women were not al-lowed in the tunnel,” according to recent story in Colorado Heritage by Dianna Litvak.

“Bennema said that indeed she did want the job, and accepted a position created for her in the tunnel offi ce. But she never received a hard hat, protective clothing or ID badge, like the male techni-cians, and was barred from the tunnel,” wrote Litvak.

Her lawsuit, with the backing of the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Colorado Civil Right Commission, eventually remedied that.

When the hard-rock miners warned she would cause a fatal accident and walked out, she was quoted, “When those guys buy the tunnel then I’ll say ‘Ok, it’s your tunnel’ and I’ll leave.”

Another relatively well-known charac-ter of the early mineral rush of Colorado

was Ellen Elliott Jack, or “Captain Jack’ as she was commonly known.

Ms. Jack headed west from New York looking treasure foretold by a gypsy and fi rst established a boarding house in Gunnison and began poking around the nooks and crannies of the hills there.

“During her trips to the mountains, Ellen discovered the very profi table Black Queen silver mine. The mine provided her with happiness as well as heartache,” ac-cording to the Dickson Research Center at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum.

It, and her rough and tumble life-style in the Colorado mining towns, also provided ample opportunity to use her shooting irons – with which, she became quite adept.

Late in her life, she always carried a pickaxe and a pistol where ever she trav-eled.

“I do not fear man or devil; it is not in my blood, and if they can shoot any straighter or quicker than I, let them try it, for a .44 equalizes frail women and brute men, and all women ought to be able to protect themselves against such ruffi ans,” Jack was quoted.

If you messed with her mine, I guess she believed in creating her own brand of bad luck.

Tea resonates with spirit of giving Event to be held Nov. 8 at Aspen Mine Center By Pat Hill [email protected]

A fundraiser with a touch of style and elegance, the Spirit of Giving Tea is an annual event that offers opportunities to get all dressed-up to sip and chat.

The theme ushers in the holi-day season in Cripple Creek, a town noted for the Aspen Mine Center as a focal point of com-munity, a place where the spirit of giving is present all year long.

The center, which houses doz-ens of nonprofi t organizations and agencies such as the Pikes Peak Workforce Center, is a coun-ter to the gaming and casinos in Cripple Creek.

But the tea highlights the theme and the tendency of peo-ple to want to give back in the time leading up to Christmas.

“I think it has to do with empa-thy,” said Laura Jeffery, one of the

town’s distinguished residents.Jeffery, who continues the Jef-

fery House Ministries, despite the death of her husband Bud, is hosting three tables at the Nov. 8 event at the center. In a time-honored tradition, Jeffery plans to make her famous bread, soup and cookies for her guests.

Otherwise, attendees are asked to supply the menu while the organizers will provide the tea and the coffee, if preferred.

The event is festive, a palette of design, as guests are invited to fulfi ll their inner artistry by setting their own tables, with tea pots and cups. “So you get a dif-ferent atmosphere and look at each table,” said Kathi Pilcher, a member of the Victorian Society who chairs the event.

At $15 apiece, the get-in-the-spirit tea is a fundraiser for the Cripple Creek and Victor’s Gold Camp Christmas celebration, Dec. 11, 12, 13 and 14.

The tea is at 11:30 a.m. Nov. 8 at the Aspen Mine Center. For in-formation and reservations, call Pilcher at 659-3599. The Spirit of Giving Tea combines elegance and philanthropy. The tea, at the Aspen Mine Center, is at 11:30 a.m. Nov. 8. Courtesy photo

Jazz great to appear in Woodland ParkBy Pat [email protected]

The sound of music emanates from the Ute Pass Cultural Center Nov. 7 as trom-bonist Bill Watrous appears in concert with the Swing Factory.

In demand by jazz groups around the nation, Watrous has played back-up for Chicago, Count Basie, Woody Herman and Ella Fitzgerald, among others. “It’s going to be an incredible experience for us to have a chance to work with a professional at his level,” said Craig Harms, who directs the Swing Factory. “He’s the trombone virtuo-so that jazz groups call in when they make a recording.”

A community event, the concert fea-tures a cocktail hour with appetizers and a cash bar an hour before the music begins at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 and are avail-able at the door or online at www.wood-landparkwindsymphony.com.

When expenses are met, the proceeds of the concert go to the Woodland Park Wind Symphony, which sponsors Wa-trous’s performance.

A bonus to having Watrous in town is the rehearsal from 7 to 9 p.m. Nov. 5 at the cultural center. The rehearsal is free and open to the public. Jazz great Bill Watrous is headlining a concert with the Swing Factory Nov. 7 at the Ute Pass Cultural Center. Courtesy photo

Habitat goes 6 for 6 at Las CasasBy Pat [email protected]

A grand day for Teller County Habitat for Humanity, the dedica-tion of yet another townhome at Las Casas at Forest Edge signals the completion of the six-home

project.The new owner, Anthonie Turnbull, was

the guest of honor at a reception Oct. 16 at the townhomes in Woodland Park. Turnbull is the foster parent of two special-needs teenagers.

“I want to thank everybody who worked long and hard - I know there are a lot of folks who have had their hands on this house,” said Jamie Caperton, executive director of the nonprofit organization. “We really appreciate each and every one of you.”

Every home built by Habitat for Human-ity requires what is known as “sweat equity,” where the homeowner and a team of vol-unteers build the homes. By completion, Turnbull’s three-bedroom townhome had absorbed 6,000 hours of labor.

“There’s snow, sleet, rain and rock,” Caper-ton said. “Oh, my gosh, the rock!”

In recognition of the large underground granite impediments, the organization has planned a “big huge slab of rock” at the en-trance inscribed with the words, “Las Casas: A Habitat Community,” to commemorate the aggravation part of the project.

“We love every ounce of that rock,” Caper-ton said. “To every family here, thank you for everything you’ve done.”

In addition to Turnbull and his family, townhome owners are: Heather and Sean Malone and two children; Jethro and Suzy Dilliard, four children; Rhiannon Carnahan and Skylar, 3; Lisa Saar and Luke, 6; and Gene and Riley Alston, the first Habitat recipients of the project, and their two children, Katari, 4, and Benji, 2. They were all present at the celebration.

Las Casas is the first build for the nonprofit organization in Woodland Park. Next up is another project in Cripple Creek.

The celebration included the announce-ment by Caperton that Summeril is now a staff member of the organization.

Big money takes aim at GMO label proposalFarm group backs plan that corporations opposeBy Katie KuntzRocky Mountain PBS I-News

Colorado’s voters continue to be pounded by multimillion-dollar political advertising campaigns, often with the two candidates or issue opponents fairly even-ly matched, with no respite in sight until Election Day.

But on one particular issue the cam-paign ads are entirely lopsided. Label-ing genetically modified food, commonly called GMOs — meaning “genetically modified organisms” — is on the ballot, and has become a nearly $12 million issue.

But the “No on Proposition 105 Coali-tion” has spent $6.8 million more than the “Right to Know Colorado” labeling advo-cates, and the anti-105 forces still have $4.1 million waiting to be spent.

“I can’t understand, why would they put $11 million into a Colorado campaign that

has less than $500,000?” asked Larry Coo-per, director of the “Right to Know” cam-paign. “What are they trying to hide?”

Sara Froelich, a campaign spokesper-son for the No on 105 Coalition, said in an email, “No one should be surprised that agriculture and food companies are step-ping forward to support their customers across Colorado who will be harmed by this measure.”

The agriculture and food companies against 105 include well-known names like Monsanto, Kraft Foods and PepsiCo. These three companies alone have contributed $7.4 million of the $11 million raised by this campaign.

The labeling advocates, however, have raised only $441,000, and have not pur-chased any television or radio advertising to advocate their position. The group is operating a grassroots campaign, knock-ing on doors and using social media to ad-vance their cause.

This could mean that Coloradans who receive their information solely from TV ad campaigns think Colorado farmers do not

support the labeling initiative — but that is only partly true.

The Colorado Farm Bureau has donated more than $7,000 to defeat the measure, but the Rocky Mountain Farmers Union, with more than 22,000 members in Colo-rado, Wyoming and New Mexico, actually endorsed the pro-labeling campaign.

“GMO labeling is one of the things that we support,” said Bill Midcap, director of external affairs of Rocky Mountain Farm-ers Union. “But we know it’s going to be tough for a single state to enact.”

This year, Colorado and Oregon are the only two states with GMO labeling on the ballot, and many of the same corporations are also spending millions in Oregon to de-feat the initiative there.

Maine, Vermont and Connecticut are the only states to have passed labeling re-quirements, but they will not be enacted until 2016 — or until a population of at least 20 million people in neighboring states require the labeling, too.

“How would you expect General Mills to label something special just for one state,

just for Colorado?” Midcap said. “Think about Kellogg or Coca-Cola. Are they will-ing to change just for Colorado? Maybe if 15 states did it — but this would be more effective as a national issue.”

In Colorado, a Citizens Initiative Review board evaluated the labeling measure and decided by an 11-to-9 vote to approve it. Those who voted against the measure, like Bill Wright, explained that his greatest con-cern was that many foods may be exempt from the labeling measure.

“Normally when you go into a store and read labels, you rely on the information and people want to rely on what they are being told,” Wright said. “It’s probably a lot of food (that would be exempt) and that’s going to be a lot more confusing than if you just don’t do it at all.”

The measure would take effect in 2016, if passed.

at the same time, glad I know for a fact that in some areas – 10 years, most likely will not be enough of an estimat-ed time for healing from flooding. Great to see beaming,

white and good-smelling Aspen trees, a few yellow leaves and five feet away on the side of the road, a ‘war zone~a look alike’ of total devastation.” Said local long-time resi-dent Clara Meury who toured the area in the first few days the road was open.

“Whew! Glad I went and saw and came down off the Ramparts...with hope. Very thankful to see acres, miles, and hillsides of hundreds of dedicated footprints of CUSP (Coalition for the Upper South Platte) volunteers back-breaking work that has been done, and more yet to hap-pen to protect our towns, and cities. Our communities. Our mountains. I love our Mountains,” Meury said.

Rampart Range Road offers an elevated vantage point to view the extent of the damage.

The fire, which was first reported June 23, 2012, had caused the evacuation of over 32,000 residents of Colo-rado Springs, Manitou Springs, Cascade, Chipita Park, Green Mountain Falls, Crystola, Woodland Park and par-

tial evacuation of the United States Air Force Academy. As many as 346 homes were destroyed by the fire. U.S. Highway 24, was closed in both directions for days. The Waldo Canyon Fire resulted in insurance claims totaling more than $453.7 million. Until the Black Forest Fire, it was the most destructive fire in Colorado state history, as measured by the number of homes destroyed, (Black For-est fire destroyed 486 homes and damaged 28 others).

“If you choose to go into the Waldo Canyon area, ex-pect a changed condition. It is not the same forest that many remember prior to the 2012 wildfire. There are many dangers so be very cautious with a plan of escape when the winds increase or it starts to rain. Your safety is our priority,”said Pikes Peak District Ranger Oscar Marti-nez, upon the road’s opening.

Visitors should use extreme caution and expect to en-counter falling dead trees and limbs, steep slopes, stump holes and the potential for flooding in this burned area.

The upper reaches of the ridges, of course were not spared, and ancient trees su�ered at the hands of the �re as well. Stripped of vegetation by the �re, deep grooves cut and make erosion a problem on the steep slopes.

Public Works in GMF and WP honored By Pat Hill [email protected]

The American Public Works Associa-tion Colorado Chapter paid tribute to Bill Alspach and Rob McArthur this month. Both received the awards from Pete Adler, president of the APWA board, and Renee Railsback, director.

Alspach, public works director for the city of Woodland Park, accepted the award for the Fountain Creek Channel Improve-ments Project that ended the erosion along the creek from Safeway to Sheridan Avenue.

It was the second award for the public works department under Alspach. Two years ago the city was honored by the asso-ciation for the Shady Lane Drainage Proj-ect that addressed the issues near Country Lodge.

McArthur was honored as the Public Works Employee of the Year. The APWA recognized McArthur’s work while he served as the director of the department in Green Mountain Falls. “I accepted this award on behalf of my staff and the trust-ees who enabled us to accomplish all that we did together in Green Mountain Falls,” he said, in an email to The Courier

The association praised McArthur for his skills in generating thousands of dol-lars in grants for Green Mountain Falls, for road maintenance projects, particularly after the fi res and fl oods of 2012 and 2013.

In paperwork provided by the associa-tion, McArthur was recognized as a Roads Scholar I, the fi rst one in the state to gradu-ate from the Road Master program. He is a member of Colorado Local Technical As-sistance Program.

McArthur resigned his position with the town in April.

Rob McArthur, former public works director for Green Mountain Falls, received the award for “Public Works Employee of the Year” from the American Public Works Association Colorado Chapter. McArthur is the only participant in the Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) to have achieved graduation in the three training program, which includes the Roads Scholar II program.

Bill Alspach, Woodland Park Public Works Director, accepts an award for his depart-ment from the American Public Works Association Colorado Chapter. The award recognizes the city’s Fountain Creek Channel Improvements project, citing innovation and excellence. The project addresses the erosion mitigation between Safeway Plaza and Sheridan Avenue. Alspach accepted the award Oct. 14 at a dinner in Denver.

No more freezing while waiting By Pat Hill [email protected]

With new bus shelters in Cripple Creek and Victor, waiting for the Gold Camp Connector is comfortable and free of the elements, rain, snow, sleet, sun and wind.

The shelters are the result of a $132,000 FASTER (Funding Advancement for Sur-face Transportation and Economic Recov-ery of 2009) grant awarded to the Cripple Creek Transportation Department.

According to the director, Ted Sch-

weitzer, the grant funded maintenance equipment as well as four shelters, three in Cripple Creek and one in Victor.

In response to citizen queries about the shelter entrances facing away from the street, each is ADA-compliant, offering access to wheelchairs from the sidewalk, Schweitzer said.

The grant covered $90,000 for the cost of the four while the city of Cripple Creek contributed $4,500 for each. The shelters serve clients who ride the Gold Camp Con-nector between Victor and Cripple Creek as well as the Cripple Creek shuttle.

Woodland Park girls battle heat, tough course at state cross country meetSenior Lexi Harrison was �rst to cross �nish line for the PanthersBy Danny [email protected]

It was a sight Erin Babinski had never seen in all her years of competing in cross country; girls lying down in agony or hunched over due to complete exhaustion; during the middle of a race.

“I think the hill was the hardest; go-ing up and going down,” said Babinski, a Woodland Park junior who joined her teammates in competing in the Class 4A girls’ state cross country meet Oct. 25 at Norris-Penrose Stadium. “You get to the top and you are just so tired. And it’s just so hot. All this heat just slams you.

“I saw people lying down all over the side. I’ve seen people stopped and throw-ing up during races, but I’ve never seen people lying on the ground.”

The 4A girls’ race started about 12:35 p.m. as the thermometer hit 80 degrees. It was much warmer than that on the desert-style course which included a huge hill at about the midway point of the 5K (3.1 mile race) that featured lots of rough terrain.

Woodland Park finished 22nd among 24 teams, but that didn’t discourage Babinski, nor her teammates or her coaches.

“I feel like we really bonded,’ said Babinski, who finished fifth on the team with a time of 24 minutes, 14 seconds. “We were together all day (Oct. 24) and really got pumped up. I think we were nervous this morning, but that’s probably to be ex-pected.”

Senior Lexi Harrison was the first Pan-thers’ runner to cross the finish line with a time of 22:15.5. Harrison finished 67th

overall.Harrison also ran at the state cross

country meet with Woodland Park teams her freshman and sophomore years.

The next Woodland Park runner to enter the stadium to rousing cheers was freshman Kelsie Bragg (22:34, 77th).

“It was a tough course,” the soft-spoken Bragg said. “The hills and the heat were probably the toughest part.”

Rounding out Woodland Park’s top five were freshman Sandra Dillinger (23:54.7) and junior Alana Dillinger (24:00.7). Also running for Woodland Park, but not scor-ing, was freshman Danielle Curtis (35:04.5) and junior Joanna Waddell (28:04.4).

“It was a tough race,” Waddell said shortly after entering the stadium, “but we all finished.”

Woodland Park assistant coach Matt Levassiur was on the course encouraging his girls and pushing them to finish the race strong.

“People were dropping out there; it looked like a marathon,” Levassiur said. “We were further back than I would have liked to start the race, but when I saw them coming down the hill right about the two-mile mark I thought we were in trouble, but when I saw them at the quarter mark everybody had moved up about 20 spots, at least.

“These girls are built tough and they are built to work as a team. These girls are a testament to what can happen when people put their heads together and really bond and really want to accomplish some-thing together.”

Levassiur is expected to take over the team next year from Ron Payton, who is stepping down. Payton will remain on as the school’s track and field coach this spring.

Mountain View won the 4A team title with 127 points. Palmer Ridge was third with 144 points.

Panthers’ soccer season comes to an endWoodland Park posted a 1-14 record this fallBy Danny [email protected]

It wasn’t the outcome to the soccer sea-son Noel Sawyer envisioned when he took over as the Woodland Park High School boys’ coach in June.

The charismatic Sawyer, a former star player for Rampart in the late 1980s and later the University of Colorado at Colo-rado Springs, was hoping his skills on the field and knowledge of the game would translate into a winning season and poten-tial postseason berth for the Panthers.

Instead, his club went 1-14, losing their final 12 matches.

“These are the greatest group if kids I’ve ever been around,” said a confident Saw-yer, who also sits on the Woodland Park City Council. “They kept their heads up and they played hard.”

The Panthers finished 0-7 in the Class 4A Metro League, and also lost all three of its matches in the league’s postseason tournament. But they never stopped work-ing to improve their skills, according to Sawyer.

“At the end of a tough season you’re not in games as much as you’d like to be,” Sawyer said. “Unfortunately we lost a lot of games in big clumps.”

The Panthers landed three players on the all-league team. Junior midfielder Cody Stroup (11 goals, 3 assists) was named to the second team, while junior defensive

Panthers miss out on regional volleyball playo�sWoodland Park was 15-8 this seasonBy Danny [email protected]

A block here, a tap there, a kill in just the right place, may have all played huge factors in the Woodland Park High School volleyball team participating in the post-season field this fall.

Instead the Panthers end their season wondering what might have been.

Woodland Park finished tied for fourth among eight teams in the Class 4A Metro League with a 9-5 conference record. The Panthers were 15-8 overall - the best record team has had since the 2009 season.

However, the playoff system is based on a wildcard point system in which strength of schedule plays a major role. A win, or even loss, against a top tier opponent means more than dominating lower-level teams.

As a result, Woodland Park finished the regular season ranked out of the top 36. The top 36 teams play in 12 three-team re-gionals, with the winner of each regional

advancing to the state tournament.The Classical Academy (11-3, 15-7) -

playing its first season at the 4A level after many years in 3A - won the league cham-pionship. Woodland Park lost both of its matches against TCA.

Mesa Ridge also had an 11-3 league re-cord, but is the No. 2 seed from the confer-ence, even though it split its two sets with TCA. Woodland Park also split its two sets with Mesa Ridge.

The Panthers had several players post impressive overall numbers.

Senior middle blocker Maureen Cum-mings led the Panthers in kills (242) and blocks (40).

Cummings was honored in the team’s home finale on Oct. 23 at “Senior Night” along with Kelsey Arseneau (49 kills), Kai-tlyn Smith (first in serve receive with 177), and Katie Stunkard, who was first on the team in serve percentage (93.8), serve re-ceive (264) and third in digs (151).

Junior setter Jenny Lau led the team in assists (502) and service aces (24). She also had a 93 percent serve percentage, which ranked third on the team.

Woodland Park played for its only state championship in 1992, finishing runner-up.

midfielder Nick McMorris and freshman midfielder Kristian Hooker (10 goals, 3 as-sists) made honorable mention.

Sawyer said Hooker recently made an Olympic development team.

Woodland Park was challenged on both ends of the field. The Panthers were out-scored 92-30, but that is a bit deceiving considering the talented teams they faced. Six of the Panthers’ 12 opponents made the postseason, including No. 2 overall seed The Classical Academy (16-0). Wood-land Park played three teams twice.

Sawyer will return the bulk of his var-sity team next season as only four seniors graduate.

Sawyer is also looking forward to a tal-

ented class of junior varsity players chal-lenging for varsity spots in 2015. The JV team won just one game, but showed re-markable improvement, according to Saw-yer.

“We need enough players to come out to give ourselves tougher competition,” Sawyer said. “We didn’t have that internal competition this year, but I can see that being the case next season.

“Plus we have some good players in the middle school that look like they can play some pretty good soccer.”

Sawyer has already signed Woodland Park up for an indoor soccer league that is based in Colorado Springs. It begins play the first week of November.

He is also attempting to get a competi-tive outdoor team associated with Rush Soccer for the spring and summer.

“Indoor soccer is a very fast-paced game and I think that will help our guys out a lot,” Sawyer said.

“He’s been the person standing by the side of train tracks and seeing if the freight train derails,” Sondermann said of Beau-prez’s campaign strategy. “If it does, you’re there to pick up the pieces. Is the passive strategy enough to get him to get over the finish line or does he need a closer? My in-stinct is he needs a closer.”

Women’s rights in spotlightMeanwhile, the Udall-Gardner match-

up has been one of the most closely fol-lowed Senate races in the country.

Women’s issues have dominated the campaign, with the Udall team launching an early-and-often advertising blitz against Gardner, which has attempted to paint the conservative congressman as being out of touch or too extreme on issues pertaining to women’s reproductive rights.

But Udall has been criticized for having run what some perceive to be a one-issue campaign that is obsessed with capturing support of women voters.

Provizer surmises that the Udall cam-paign must be seeing internal polling num-bers that show the attacks against Gardner are working and that “it’s always a good po-

litical move to define your opponent.”“But it became so much of it that it lost

its effectiveness,” Provizer said.Also possibly working against Udall are

recent crises outside of his control that could favor Republicans this fall. Whether that’s fair to Democrats is another story.

Analysts agree that the rise of ISIS-backed terrorism in the Middle East and questions over the government’s response to the ongoing Ebola virus threat may help Republicans on Nov. 4, because those de-velopments happened on Obama’s watch.

“Just weeks before ballots are mailed out in Colorado, those are about the two worst things to happen to Democrats, not only for what happened, but the timing,”

Loevy said.“It is awfully a tough year to be carry-

ing the Democrat banner, particularly in a federal race,” Sondermann added. “The bloom has fallen off the rose for Obama, there’s ISIS, Ebola ... there’s just very little good news for any Democrat.”

But Democrats still have a major advan-tage going for them that gives supporters hope — the vaunted Democratic get-out-the-vote machine.

Democrats have lapped Republicans in voter efforts in recent elections, and their outreach to women and Latino voters helped Michael Bennet win a close 2010 Senate contest that he had been trailing in polls leading up to Election Day.
