Loft House to re-open in 2013By Pat [email protected]

When Homer and Ron Bullard paid $153,000 for the Loft House in 2010, a motel destroyed inter-nally by vandals and drug deal-ers, they figured the tax bill would align with the rundown condition of the property.

The Bullards purchased the property, which had been in foreclosure, from an out-of-state bank.

This month, the father-son team won a kind of victory as Teller County commissioners dis-agreed with the assessor’s valua-tion of $268,597 and a tax bill of $6,634. In a unanimous decision Dec. 6, commissioners Bill Buck-hanan, Jim Ignatius and Dave Paul settled on a valuation of $195,000.

Ron Bullard is still upset, but no doubt he’d be more upset if the assessor’s initial valuation of $405,845 had stuck. “The initial valuation was based on the as-sumption that there were no en-vironmental concerns,” said the assessor, Betty Clark-Wine, at the public hearing. “At the time of the appraisal we did not know what the environmental condition was.”

The hearing followed a series of

appeals by the Bullards, their ar-guments based on a valuation of $75,700 by an independent ap-praiser. Even more galling for the Bullards was a revised valuation of $50,000 during the arbitration process.

“The arbitrator said the land is worth $90,000 and the cost for cleaning up the asbestos is $40,000, therefore, the place is only worth $50,000,” Ron

Bullard said.There’s no doubt the Loft House

is in sub-standard condition but the assessor based the valuation on the income approach, stating in a report to the commissioners that the projected income could be between $400,000 and $441,000 at some time during 2008.

Bullard is astounded at the es-timate, as the property has been closed since Jan. 1, 2009 and does not meet the requirements for a certificate of occupation until the asbestos and lead are removed.

Nonetheless, the Bullards in-tend to go ahead with the remodel on the Loft House, once the fi-nancing for the project is secure. With a target opening date of Me-morial Day, 2013, the property will return to its original status as an extended-stay motel, with 13 units and an office. “We expect the remodel to have a standard of

a three-star or four-star motel,” Bullard said.

Still burned over the tax abate-ment, Bullard goes for the last word in the process. “My com-plaint about this whole thing is that this process took a year and a half,” he said. “Obviously, the county has spent energy on this, and time is money, so every time a county employee has to deal with this, to get penalized by the arbi-trator, it cost taxpayer money.”

At the same time, Bullard ques-tions the customer-service aspect of Teller County. “By the same to-ken, the tax issue is driving away business people like me. I know we spend at least $40,000 a year as a county on economic devel-opment,” he said. “We get them here and then we turn around and spend another $40,000 fighting them on their tax bill. So we drive them away.”

The Loft House, once a thriving business under the ownership of Jack Maher, had fallen into disrepair and was lost in foreclosure. Ron and Homer Bullard purchased the property in 2009 for $153,000. Since that time, the Bullards have ap-pealed the county’s initial valuation of $405,845.

School districts respond to school violenceTake another look at security a�er shootings in ConnecticutBy Norma [email protected]

Tragedies affecting schools and children come in all sizes, from traffic accidents that affect just one school district to events so vi-olent that they send shock waves around the globe. Such a shock happened on Dec. 14 when a gun-man killed his mother and then, forcing his way into a Newtown, Conn., elementary school, used guns from his mother’s collection to kill six other adults, 20 young children and himself.

No matter the tragedy, its size or origin, local schools have to be prepared to deal with security is-sues, disbelief, fear, anger, grief and recovery. They must also be prepared to answer questions from parents and students about the unthinkable and do whatever they can to make students and parents feel safe.

As soon as news went out about the shootings in Connecticut, lo-cal school superintendents went into immediate action, making counselors available and sending messages of reassurance to par-ents and staff, expressing condo-lences and making suggestions on

how to talk to children about what happened in Connecticut and school violence in general.

“As you may be aware, 27 people, including 20 children, were shot today at an elementary school in Newtown, a small town in southwestern Connecticut,” Manitou Springs District 14 Su-perintendent Ed Longfield states in his letter. “Our hearts go out to the families of Newtown after this terrible tragedy and their incalcu-lable loss.

“Some parents have called today expressing their concerns about our own students’ safety in light of these events. While we were not on lockdown today, we were on heightened alert, check-ing doors and monitoring halls and entrances throughout the day. We will continue our extra vigilance next week as students return.

“Please know, as well, that our regular daily security measures in-clude locking all entrances except the main office entrance each day; monitoring that entrance contin-uously with personnel and cam-era surveillance; and requiring all visitors to sign in and wear a visi-tor’s badge. We also practice lock-down procedures school-wide each year and update our emer-gency procedures with the Mani-tou Springs Police Department, which is one-half block away from our front door.”

“Our hearts and thoughts go

out to all of the victims, families, school staff members, and com-munity of Newtown, Conn,” Crip-ple Creek-Victor RE-1 School Dis-trict Superintendent Sue Holmes states. “The recent school shoot-ing at Sandy Hook Elementary School shocked and saddened us as a nation. As a school district, we grieve for the innocent lives af-fected but we also turn our atten-tion to our priority of safety and security for our children.

“We want assure our com-munity that we have many safety measures in place. We conduct regular emergency drills in our

schools (often in conjunction with local police and fire departments), have strict visitor procedures, and utilize video cameras within our district. As a district, we are also very attentive to our students and their behaviors, conversations, and writings. Any red flag that is detected is referred to proper per-sonnel to ensure the safety of all people in our buildings.”

The Cripple Creek-Victor Dis-trict website, www.ccvschools.org, has and information sheet from the National Mental Health Association titled “Talking to Kids about School Safety.”

“We are all in disbelief for this senseless and unthinkable tragedy,” Woodland Park RE-2 School District Superintendent Jed Bowman states. “Our deepest condolences go out to the Sandy Hook Elementary School families, friends and community that will forever be affected. Student safe-ty will continue to be one of our highest priorities.

“We practice scenarios every year and continue to hone our procedures. This week we have asked for greater adult diligence by their presence and to help our students feel as safe as pos-sible. We have also worked with local law enforcement agencies to have an increased presence at our school sites. We are fortunate to have both (Woodland Park and Teller County) agencies in close proximity to our schools. Addi-tionally, we are grateful for our partnerships as we all are con-cerned and committed to student safety.

“Parents often ask for guidance on how to talk to their children when dealing with violent acts such as this one. We have pro-vided a summary for parents from the National Association of School Psychologists that can be found under the `Important Announce-ment’ section on our website at www.wpsdk12.org. Again, we will continue to hone our procedures to keep our students safe.”

Doors were locked, cameras went up and signs like this one at Cripple Creek-Victor High School went up in schools across the nation in response to several incidences of school violence. In the wake of the violence on Dec. 14 in Connecticut, local school districts are once again taking stock of their vulnerabilities and looking for more ways to keep students safe.

POLICE NEWS IN A HURRY

Sheri� ’s o� ce experiencing large volume of concealed handgun permit requests

The El Paso County Sheriff’s Offi ce is expe-riencing an unusually large volume of phone calls requesting appointments for concealed handgun permits.

The increase began shortly after the tragic events which took place in Connecticut and the subsequent talks of more gun control by the federal government. The sheriff’s offi ce is asking those who have contacted the Con-cealed Handgun Program have left a message to please be understanding.

The Concealed Handgun Program has received a record 106 messages on Dec. 18 re-questing information and/or appointments. The sheriff has implemented changes to the duty hours of staff to specifi cally address the volume of phone messages and better ac-commodate the community by returning the messages as timely as possible.

Further changes will be evaluated as nec-essary to help expedite the concealed hand-gun permit process. The public’s patience is greatly appreciated.

WPHS starts e-waste recycling programPartnership helps students, community, environmentBy Norma [email protected]

It’s been a while in coming but a new electronic waste-recycling program is ready to start up in the Woodland Park RE-2 School District.

“E-waste recycling program is a high school program but just to confuse things it will be located at the middle school,” said. Elizabeth Connell, program specialist for the School to Work Alliance. “The program will be good for our students, good for our community and good for the environment. Most people want to recycle electronic waste ethically.”

Once the e-waste depot is open at the middle school’s empty industrial technolo-gies classroom, individuals and business owners will be able to drop off their elec-tronic waste, which until now they’ve had to take to Colorado Springs, hold until annual e-waste recycling programs at Woodland Park High School or Cripple Creek-Victor High School or take to a landfill.

“This program will keep this waste out of the landfills,” Connell said.

While such things as old computer towers will be accepted without charge, there will be nominal fees to recycle most electronic items. “It will be set mostly by weight,” Connell said.

Once the items are stockpiled, they will be taken apart by special education stu-dents, a process called “de-manufacturing,”

pieces will be sorted and separated and then sent to Blue Star Recyclers for further processing. The program is a partnership that includes the district’s special educa-tion and transition program students, Blue Star’s Vocational Electronic Recycling Net-work and Woodland Park High School’s SOS Club.

“The program will provide opportuni-ties for our special education and transition students to learn work skills,” said Transi-tion Program Coordinator Kelly Smith.

Transition students are special educa-tion students ages 18-21. “There aren’t a lot of job training opportunities for people with special needs here in Teller County,” she said. “We’ll be able to train two or three students at a time.”

The e-waste depot will kick off with a collection event 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Jan. 19.

“People will be able to drive through the

middle school parking lot and leave their

old computer monitors and TVs for a small

fee,” Connell said. “We’re hoping that peo-

ple will hold until the event the electronic items they’ve replaced with new electronics during the holidays.”

Electronic waste includes anything that runs on electricity or batteries, everything from toasters to old projection-screen TVs.

The e-waste collection depot will be open from 8-10 a.m. Tuesday through Thursday starting Feb. 5. It will be open only on days that the district is open.

There will be more information on the district website, www.wpsdk12.org as open-ing day draws nearer. In the meantime, any-one with questions may call Connell at 686-2037 or Smith at 686-2088. Also call Connell with questions about the School to Work Alliance, a program that helps youths ages 16-25 years old gain job-seeking skills and find jobs.

For more information on ethical elec-tronic-waste recycling, Connell suggest-ed the following link: http://www.npr.org/2010/12/21/132204954/after-dump-what-happens-to-electronic-waste.

Pastor hopes to revive Clothes ClosetSpecial to the Courier

When the Clothes Closet in Woodland Park closed, the shuttering left a gap among the needy. However, for the past two years, Trish Sinclair, pastor of Living Streams Church, has been collecting clothes for the nonprofit or-ganization. The clothes have been washed, sewed and dry-cleaned.

But Sinclair needs help and is looking for quarters in Woodland Park to re-open the Clothes Closet. “We are looking for a location with reasonable rates, or rent-free, to provide the space where we can provide the dona-tions we have received, to give back to the community,” Sinclair said.

As well, the organization needs volunteers. For information, call Sinclair at 598-0185.

CASA volunteers shut out by state Special to the Courier

Since 1992, volunteers for Court Ap-pointed Special Advocate domestic-rela-tions program have been advocating for the best interests of the children in highly-con-flicted custody disputes.

Judges request CASA’s services for fact-finding on these domestic-relations cases and a CASA volunteer is appointed to the case after completion of the core initial ad-vocacy training.

With a new directive by the Colorado Su-preme Court, CASA’s ability to participate as child advocates in a volunteer capacity has been nullified. With the directive, CASA would no longer be allowed to provide training or supervision to these volunteers; instead, they would be required to attend state training and be certified by the state as private, independent child and family investigators.

Therefore, the CASA board of directors

determined the domestic-relations pro-gram no longer fits the organization’s mis-sion to provide a volunteer’s voice in court for children and the program will be dis-solved.

“We are saddened and disappointed that we will no longer be able to provide this program in the region,” said Trudy Strewler Hodges, CASA’s executive director. “Children caught in the middle of extreme divorce disputes will no longer have a CASA volunteer advocate’s voice in court.”

However, the directive does not affect CASA’s other programs, including the core volunteer advocacy program for abused and neglected children involved in depen-dency and neglect cases.

As well, the supervised exchange and parenting time program and the children and families in transition class are operat-ing normally. A description of the programs can be viewed at www.casappr.org/pro-grams.

IREA beats small-claims suit Plaintiff vows to keep fi ghting for fi scal transparency

By Norma Engelberg [email protected]

Phillip Ramey might have lost his fi rst salvo at Intermountain Rural Electric Association but he isn’t ready to give up the fi ght to make the company more fi scally transparent to its member/cus-

tomers.In late October, Ramey fi led

a claim for $540 in Teller County small claims court. He tried to prove that the member coopera-tive didn’t have the right to spend customer dividends on communi-ty involvement projects. However, Judge Linda Billings Vela ruled on Dec. 14 that he hadn’t met his bur-

den of proof.Ramey stated in an email dated

Dec. 10, after reading statements made by Mike Kopp, IREA man-ager of corporate affairs, in an article that ran in the Dec. 5 Cou-rier and The Tribune, stating that, “When Mr. Kopp states the Colo-rado Constitution clearly gives IREA authority to make such do-nations he is leaving out one very important piece of information. IREAs Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws DO NOT permit such spending so regardless of what Colorado law says, IREA is bound by the more restrictive agree-ments they have with Members. Mr. Kopp also states the amount spent is `marginal’ but fails to disclose just what that number is. Through our backdoor account-

ing we believe that number to be in excess of $1 million per year, or well over $15 million in the last 13 years, $500,000 spent on educa-tion grants alone.”

Ramey says he can fi nd no one who thinks spending money on community involvement is necessarily bad. “However, IREA members should be given the money due them in the form of rebates and then they can decide for themselves where they spend the money,” he states, adding that electric rates are going up by 300 percent from 11.9 cents to 30 cents per kilowatt hour.

He said the judge’s ruling leaves him with only one option: “To force IREA to take this issue to its members and ask for a vote on this discretionary spending,”

he stated in a second email dat-ed Dec. 17. “Several other (IREA) members have sent certifi ed let-ters to Mr. Mooney, general man-ager of IREA, requesting informa-tion about the amount of money spent on community involvement items. We assume he will refuse to provide this information to them as he did me.”In the absence of fi -nancial information, Ramey plans to run for Woodland Park resident Gene Sperry’s IREA board direc-torship next year and plans to submit an application to IREA af-ter Jan. 15. He plans to run on the platform of “not spending mem-bers’ money on anything not di-rectly related to IREA’s stated mis-sion.” He also plans to refuse the stipend that would come with the directorship if he is chosen.

Media and tragedy: Wind in Wyoming and wishful thinkingSaw a grade-school, crayon drawing of

angels moving around the internet. And an admonition, first attributed to Morgan Freeman, and then debunked personally by him, regarding the press making the Connecticut tragedy worse. Perhaps, but at times, people write about what keeps them up at night. One of those times, I wrote the following about a similar feeling, long ago. Only the time references have been updated, 26 years now -- one each for the 26 innocents at Sandy Hook Elementary -- and I guess in retrospect, what was wishful thinking.

Today the wind blew with force and power. It doubled over trees and sent trash, cans and all, bouncing down the street. It reminded me of my Wyoming days and I thought of evil winds and angels.

I had to fight wind 26 years ago on the way to the high school to meet up with the track coach in Saratoga, Wyo. I was working on a preview story before they left for the state track meet in Casper early the next day. When I arrived that Friday afternoon, the coach was shaken.

Miles away on the western edge of the state in Cokeville, Wyo, 154 students in addition to teachers, school workers and others, were held hostage in a 30-by 30-foot elementary classroom. Hometown

Saratoga competed against Cokeville’s students on occasion.

In Cokeville that day, David Young, 42, and his wife Doris, 47, had pulled their white van up to the Cokeville Elementary School in the middle of town and calmly unloaded three gasoline bombs, nine handguns and four rifles into a grocery cart at about 1 p.m. on a Friday afternoon and then herded everyone into the cramped room.

David Young, the former Cokeville town marshal, had been fired eight years before for being overzealous, according to Time magazine, and was known to dress up like and old-time sheriff and brandish his pistol at the slightest provocation.

“Eventually, Young sent out his de-mands to the police officers who had surrounded the school. He wanted $300 million in ransom for the 167 hostages he

held--students, teachers, school work-ers, and a UPS driver, nearly a quarter of Cokeville’s population. He also wanted a personal phone call from the president of the United States,” according to an account in “Angels on Earth” by Ron Hartley, a Lin-coln County sherriff’s investigator whose four children were among the hostages.

“After 2 1/2 hours of terror, the bomb went off accidentally. Seventy-nine people were injured, but the Youngs were the only ones to die — David Young shot his severe-ly burned wife, then himself,” according to an August 31, 2002 follow-up story by Alan Edwards in the Deseret News about the youngest survivor of the ordeal, Gina Taylor Madsen who was married that fall.

The grocery cart which was full of the three gasoline bombs and outfitted with five blasting caps and a “dead man’s switch,” went off when Doris Young mo-mentarily forgot her husband had rigged the switch to detonate by raising her wrist above her head.

“We will seeing those poor kid’s inju-ries for years,” worried the Saratoga track coach at the time. But fortunately, most of hostages injuries were relatively minor.

I recall reports in the Casper Star-Tribune, Denver Post, Associated Press and other media that related an account

of the children held hostage in the room. The swirling stories reported that those children passed the time making drawings that seemed to depict angels. Several of the children, swore “guardian angels” reduced their fear and protected them through the Cokeville horror. The book “Closer to the Light: Learning from the Near Death Expe-riences of Children,” by Melvin Morse also recalls the “angel incident.”

Susan Fiscus, who when contacted several years ago, served as webmaster of cokevillewy.com, says the town has moved on.

“I personally, did not live here at the time, and most of those people who lived through the experience are somewhat reluctant to share information about it,” she said. “One gentleman whose wife was a teacher and also had children in the elementary school is trying very hard to get some type of memorial/museum here in town celebrating the fact that all of the innocents survived. Unfortunately it is somewhat of an uphill battle for him.”

I don’t know if guardian angels do that sort thing — protect the innocents and sur-gically smite those that are evil. But it was a nice thought — especially today, with such an evil wind blowing.

Just in case, I’m planning for 2013I’m writing this column on the assumption that

we survived the End of the World on Dec. 21 and that everything is business as usual. If we didn’t, you won’t be reading this anyway but, if we did, I’ll need a column by Dec. 19 for Dec. 26.

2013 will soon be here and I’m making plans. First, I want to expand my garden; more garden, less mowing. Seed catalogues are already arriving in the mail and I spend evenings when I’m not covering meetings looking at heirloom tomatoes, assorted hot peppers, bush beans and French pumpkins. I might plant some hardy grapes, too, so I can relive my wine-making, not-really-a-Hippie days.

I also need to paint the house and the garage and put up a fence so the chickens and ducks can occasionally run free. Of course, I will have to keep an eye out for the neighborhood predators: fox, raccoons, coyotes, dogs, big house cats and even the occasional cougar or bear (I’m pretty sure I couldn’t stop either), licking their chops at the thought of poultry for dinner.

The poultry also need a new coop that will be easier for them and easier for my brother, the coop cleaner, and me, the assistant coop cleaner. We need something that we won’t crawl under to find the hidden duck eggs. The chickens lay in their nesting boxes but the ducks lay wherever they happen to be when the urge toward motherhood hits them.

What else? I could finish the two quilts I started last year and maybe start a couple more. In fact, I have a lot of UFOs or Un-Finished Objects that could be completed, such as the second sock in the pair I started months ago. Second Sock Syndrome also applies to mittens, teddy bear parts and even

sleeves.I could write the Great American Science Fiction

Novel. I’ve been thinking about the plot and charac-ters for years, usually at bedtime. I find that this is a great way to get to sleep, which doesn’t bode well for my future as a best-selling author. Besides, I really do need set-in-stone deadlines to get things done.

I might even make a few resolutions such as vowing not to read the ending of a new book before finishing the first chapter. I might wait until chapter three, for example. It’s not that I don’t finish the book after reading the ending; I just don’t read the chapters in order. Maybe, if I’m feeling a bit self-righteous, I could vow to actually read a book straight through, occasionally. How’s that for self-discipline?

I could also vow to move more, lose weight and eat better, numbers two, five and six on the USA.gov most popular New-Year’s-Resolutions list. Of course, those three are also lumped together at No. 1 on the Time magazine most commonly broken New-Year’s-Resolutions list.

So what are your plans for 2013? Don’t wait too long, you might need them.

Setting goals for �tter 2013

Christmas is over. Whew! Now, it’s time to turn your at-tention to your 2013 exercise regime.

If your idea of exercise is to sit in the bathtub, pull the plug and fight the current, this column is for you. Ac-cording to the most recent U.S. Surgeon General’s Report, only 15 percent of American adults exercise often and vigorously enough to gain any health benefits.

If you are one of the seden-tary majority, don’t take comfort in the old adage of “safety in numbers.” A sedentary lifestyle is a primary risk factor for a whole host of disease processes, including a low-quality of life and morbidity.

Here’s the good news! The health and fitness benefits of exercise are front-end loaded. A moderate amount of exer-cise reaps the majority of the benefits.

Researchers have shown that the lower your fitness level, the greater your health benefits with any increase in activity. In study after study, regular exercise has proven to have a positive impact on heart disease, cancer, hyper-tension, diabetes, osteoporosis, arthritis, high cholesterol levels, obesity, menopause, chronic pain, resistance to illness and in-jury, flexibility, balance, posture, mental health and quality of life.

Fired-up and ready to get started? One minute, please.

The two biggest mistakes people make in starting an exer-cise program are setting unreal-istic goals and doing “too much, too soon.” That combination is a slam-dunk formula for injury and failure.

The most important aspect of establishing personal fit-ness goals is identifying in what ways you want to become more fit. If your goal is weight loss, your approach to fitness will be different than if your goal is improving your golf game. Once you’re clear on your motivation, you can plan how best to achieve

your goals.Set specific and attainable

long-term goals that err on the side of being conservative. If your goal is weight loss, write down how much? If you wish to improve specific skills, like skiing or tennis, list them.

Next, you need to establish short-term “working-goals,” which are the baby-steps that will help you attain your long-range goals. As an example, for my weight-loss clients, we never set a goal of trying to lose more than 10 percent of their existing weight.

Focus on improving your en-ergy level, reducing your chronic aches and pains and gaining an improved sense of well-being, rather than whether or not you can get into your high-school graduation outfit. And, avoid the classic mistake of doing “too much, too soon.”

If you are unsure of the prin-ciples that drive a safe and effec-tive fitness program, consider hiring an expert to show you the ropes. Be sure to choose a place for exercise that offers a conve-nient location, accommodating hours of operation and class ses-sions that fit into your schedule.

Make sure to select an exer-cise routine you enjoy. Your exer-cise sessions should be fun. And, finally, keep in mind that getting in shape is a little like eating an elephant, you can only do it one bite at a time.

Sunday 10:30 AM

Gathering new ideas for history columns I regularly get asked where I get ideas for my column.

Simple answer is readers like you! This being the start of a new year I am getting ready for new material. My favor-ite place to look is in libraries. I sometimes spend hours looking at the old newspapers on microfi lm in the main Penrose Library in Colorado Springs.

On rare occasions I go to the Rawlings Public Library in Pueblo or up to Denver to read papers at the state histori-cal society. I can even fi nd some newspapers and other in-formation sources online. There are several places that are digitizing the old papers they fi nd, which makes searching quicker but I still like microfi lm!

It has been mentioned here before, but there are a few-gold camp newspapers to be found. Penrose Library has just added quite a few years of district papers. The Pueblo Library also has a pretty good collection, some of which Tribune/Courier reporter Norma Engelberg has used in her columns and on the history page she used to create for

the Courier each week.I enjoy just reading these old copies. Other really good

sources for old news and good ideas are school build-ings! Eighth-graders used to study Colorado History and many of their teachers over the years had collected some interesting things. Because I’m a retired teacher, many of them share the things they fi nd with me. I also often visit the Cripple Creek District Museum, Ute Pass Historical So-

ciety, Palmer Lake Historical Society and Western Museum of Mining & Industry.

I meet many of you in my searches, and when I am out giving talks. I am regularly asked about a story I did that had information in it that was pretty obscure. It is fun to learn about people we know, or have heard about. I like to fi nd out things about the schools, but my favorite is rail-roading! We would not be here if it was not for the trains. Most of you also know I have a strong interest in tourists and those mountains around here.

I thank all of you for the ideas you send me. I do write columns for a couple other newspapers in the area and sometimes those readers ask interesting questions that I think you might enjoy. Mayan Calendar aside, I think we can look for another year of interesting stories!

Mel McFarland, artist, author, retired teacher and railroader, is a Colorado Springs native who has a strong interest in the events of this area’s past.

What’s in a signature? By Judith “JJ” Jamison Teller County Clerk and Re-corder

I began life as a “South Paw” and quickly became ambi-dextrous. In the fourth grade my teacher smacked me over the knuckles with a ruler and exclaimed “Make up your mind which hand you are going to use and use the right one!” To this day I can still hear the crack of the ruler and feel the sting on my hands. The mes-sage was evident.

My father told me that it is important to develop a signa-ture you are proud of, one that shares your personality when you endorse a check or perform other important life tasks. I suppose I fi nally did that by high school. It does amaze me how similar my hand writ-ing is to my father’s when he was always right handed and

I’m a frustrated “South Paw.” I checked with all our schools in Teller County and I am happy to report they are still teaching cursive handwriting. I under-stand that some other districts are not.

In this “off season” for elections you might consider confi rming your information. If your signature has changed with maturity or you’ve chosen to sign your name differently contact the clerk and recorder’s offi ce to complete a form with your updated signature.

Some of the things we discovered that caused frustra-tion and longer waits for some voters were: Name misspelled in the SCORE system (State of Colorado Registered Elec-tor system), and signature mismatch. You can go to www.govotecolorado.com and confi rm your information. You can’t confi rm your signature

there, staff must accomplish that for you. So, don’t be shy about a visit. It is easier for us to help you with that now in the “off season.” If you don’t like computers we are happy to help you. Just ask.

Reminder: I’ve heard a lot from you about the “Courtesy Cards,” the card we send you to remind you about renew-ing your license plates. The state Department of Revenue changed them and our fi rst “new and improved” cards went out for the month of October. They no longer contain the return peel-off blue label. Now you are telling me you don’t recognize them. This is just a reminder that these are now simply white cards; the same size, just no blue return label.

Buckle up and be safe out there, folks. Happy Holidays from your clerk and recorder and staff.

CC-V helps high school students Dream BigDistrict wins five-year grant for a�er-school, summer programsBy Norma [email protected]

Cripple Creek-Victor RE-1 School District already has Soaring Without Limitations, an after-school, full-day Friday and summer program for junior high students but, with the help of a five-year, $700,000 federal grant, the school has recently started a similar program for its high school students.

Called Dream Big, the pro-gram is open to all high school students. It offers students op-portunities to increase their Science, Technology, Engineer-ing and Mathematics, or STEM, skills while learning to serve their community and finding their futures through career and

education exploration.The Dream Big staff, a

group of people Debbie Mor-rill, director of the district’s 21st Century Learning Center, calls her “Dream Team,” includes Program Coordinator Clau-dia Koesler, last year’s district volunteer-of-the-year Teresa Mauter and Alice Baker, di-rector of the district’s Step Up program and homeless student liaison.

“There were two ways to qualify for the grant,” Morrill said. “Our student math and reading scores have climbed too high to use them for a criterion so we had to use our homeless students, or kids in crisis, and at-risk student rates instead. We won the grant award and start-ed up the program this year.”

Service Learning plays a big part in the Dream Big mission. Students are encouraged figure out needs in their communi-ties and find ways to fill those

needs.“They research, plan, ex-

ecute and celebrate,” Morrill said. “These service learning projects are completely student motivated. They take ownership of the projects they choose.”

Their first project, a fund-raiser to buy a mechanized bed for a student who recently had back surgery, was a success.

“They had a `Julia Project’ bake sale and raised $579 in one week,” Morrill said. “They baked for days and set up a table at Venture Foods. They didn’t set prices for the baked goods; they just asked for do-nations. The kids were amazed at how many people made do-nations without even taking a product and at how many peo-ple hugged them.”

The Aspen Mine Center added another $220 to the total, which brought it up to enough to buy the bed.

The students’ second proj-ect was also a success. They decorated a Christmas tree with handmade donkey ornaments for the Gold Camp Christmas Tree contest. After the Gold Camp Christmas weekend, the decorated trees were given to

families who couldn’t afford trees of their own. The winner of the contest received $500. This year the winner was actu-ally split between two organi-zations, Dream Big and Teller County Courthouse.

The students used half their winnings to buy presents for students “who need more than Santa can provide,” Morrill said. The rest was used to take Dream Big members to a sit-down res-taurant meal, she added. “That’s something these kids never get to do,” she said.

According to the Dream Big program calendar for Janu-ary through July, the students will be working on the school year book, conduct technology projects using digital devices bought with the grant funds, play sports and learn archery with Cripple Creek Parks and Recreation, learn to cook nutri-tious foods for themselves and their families with Community Partnership and Family Center, learn about their “True Colors” with Teller County Colorado State University Extension Di-rector Mark Platten, go on field trips and catch up on classroom and homework every Thursday.

THE STORY OF CINDERELLA, THE DREAM BIG MULE

Students in the Cripple Creek-Victor High School Dream Big program wrote the following poem to go with a donkey-decorated Christmas tree they submit-ted to the Gold Camp Christmas Tree Contest. All the trees in the contest are donated to needy families living in or near the Cripple Creek and Victor Gold Mining District.

‘Twas the night before a Winter Wonderland Galaand all through the school,not a critter was stirringexcept for a mule. She ran through the halls looking for friendsand ended up at a Big dead end. She found a teacher and asked for some help,only to find out the teacher wasa Behavior Modification Specialistwho could figure it out. Ms. Baker seemed puzzled as (to) what to do,But then she used her mindto think it through.She knew of some kidswho had ideas that most would dig,So she called Ms. Koesler,who could really DREAM BIG…Ms. Koesler had friendswho knew just what to do.So they took Cinderellaand went to the zoo.They searched for some donkeys,but none could be found.So they called Ms. MauterWho helped rummage around.Ms. Mauter was puzzled,but she found many clues.Let’s make her some friends!Now that some good news!So the Dream Big Kids ventured to schoolWith a loud yelp.Ms. Mauter found Julia and said“Let’s get help”.Julia called Garth and Judythand NickNick then called Linda, Sebastian, Patrick.After that it was Sarah and Maggie and ChrisAnd said, WE NEED HELP!!With all this great help,They just couldn’t miss.So with all the kids’ help,Cinderella had faith.That all would be finesince it was only the eighth.One by one,the kids had ideasto make little donkeyswho love sopapillas,They worked to figure out Christmasand help her feel fine,to make a bright holidayfor her family and mine.For almost a week,the kids helped make friendsand decided to take herto a BIG party in the end.The donkeys lined upand showed her the way.They were hoping to seeSanta Claus in his sleigh.We went to the Galaand what lights did we see,but a string of dim bulbs,barely hanging on the tree.The kids went to lookand what they foundwere lots of tangled lightto be unwound.They strung up the lightsand with the donkeys in a row,they stretched and they smiledin awe by the glow.By the end of the Gala,the tree looked so grandand Cinderella was ecstaticthrilled with the beautiful garland.With all of her friendsSurrounding the donkey and the treeWere all of her friendsso happy with glee.

Local sponsors needed to � ght cancer By Special to the Courier American Cancer Society

The American Cancer Society urges local companies to help support the fi ght again cancer if their communities by becoming sponsors of Relay For Life. Cancer touches everyone, and involvement in Relay For Life is a great way for companies to demonstrate their commitment to help the American Cancer Society save lives and create a world with less cancer and more birthdays.

Many options for corporate sponsorship are available, including forming a team at one or more local events, en-couraging employees to volunteer at events and collecting relay donations at places of business.

In Teller County and nearly 5,100 other communities around the globe, Relay For Life unites people to celebrate the lives of those who have faced cancer, remember loved ones lost and fi ght back against the disease. Relay For Life, the world’s largest grassroots fundraising movement, con-

tinues to grow as tens of thousands of people will partici-pate in a multitude of relay events across Colorado.

Teller County Relay For Life will be overnight from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. June 14-15. Individuals and relay teams “campout” inside the Colorado Springs Christian Schools Woodland Park Campus gym with the goal of keeping at least one team member on the track or pathway at all times throughout the event.

Teams do most of their fundraising prior to the event but some teams also hold creative fundraisers at their camp sites during relay. Relay brings together friends, fam-ilies, businesses, hospitals, schools, faith-based groups, people from all walks of life, all aimed at furthering the American Cancer Society’s efforts to save lives by helping people stay well, by helping them get well, by fi nding cures and by fi ghting back.

Last year’s Teller County Relay goal was $35,000 and teams reached and surpassed that goal by raising more than $40,000. This year’s goal is $50,000 and a generous anonymous donor has already pitched in the fi rst $5,000.

If you or your company would like to help the Ameri-can Cancer Society achieve its mission of saving lives, visit www.RelayForLife.org. To get help or to learn how to be-come one if the society’s more than 3 million grassroots volunteers, visit www.cancer.org.

CC-V cuts ribbon on a Head Start for babies District facilities serves children pre-birth-12th grade

By Norma Engelberg [email protected]

Cripple Creek-Victor RE-1 School District opened its Pioneer Pre-school 18 years ago, started its Head Start program for 3-5 year olds about 10 years ago and recently started a home-based Early Head Start pro-gram for infants and toddlers from pre-birth to age 3. Now, with the ribbon cutting on a new facility, the district can provide something Teller County has needed for a long time, a center-based, child-care facility for infants and toddlers.

Soon after district Early Childhood Education Director Patty Waddle was hired in 2001 she wrote her very fi rst

grant request for Head Start funding. She wrote another successful grant request for American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding in 2009 for Early Head Start. That was the be-ginning of the journey that led to the construction of a new state-of-the-art facility at Cresson Elementary School.

“With this facility we will be able to serve families from pre-birth to 12th grade,” Waddle said at the pre-ribbon cutting ceremony on Dec. 18 in the Cresson Elementary School gym. “This concept is becoming a national focus but we’ve already done it in lit-tle old Cripple Creek-Victor schools.”

The new building is a combination of two modular units created to order by Eagle Creek Modular Solutions.

“Some of our plans were given to

Eagle Creek on scrap paper and a few might even have been in crayon,” said program manager Krys Arrick. “But (company President) Daniel Rasmus-sen was able to use the plans to create exactly what we wanted.”

“We are working toward provid-ing more services but we needed this facility fi rst,” Waddle said. “This is something the Teller County Board of County Commissioners realized when they created the Taskforce for Infant and Toddler Care in 2009; that school readiness starts before birth.”

Waddle and Arrick thanked every-one involved in making the facility happen and then the gathered crowd walked over to the new building for the ribbon cutting, refreshments and a tour. Cutting the ribbon was Alanah Goldstein and her family, who were chosen to represent Early Head Start families.

Pikes PeakSPORTS Wrestlers pin hopes on going to state First-year coach challenges team By Danny Summers [email protected]

The Woodland Park High School wres-tling team is enjoying its most successful season in recent memory. And in so doing, the Panthers are exceeding the expecta-tions of fi rst-year head coach Keith Sieracki.

“I expected a huge improvement from last year, but I thought it would take a little bit longer,” Sieracki said. “Everybody is on pace. Everybody is doing what we asked and more.”

Sieracki set up a schedule that was meant to challenge his team and build mo-mentum.

“We have to fi nd some higher level tournaments,” Sieracki said. “Now we’re revamping the second half of the season and rethinking our expectations so we can get some kids to state and let people know Woodland Park is back.”

The Panthers fi red on nearly all cylinders out of the gate when they captured third place at the Lobo Invite in Conifer on Dec. 1. They were seventh at the same tourna-ment a year ago.

Senior Thomas Chisholm (160 pounds) and junior Josh Smith (170) captured tour-nament titles. Taking home second place honors were Sophomore Tommy Hancock (113), junior Abraham Adair (145) and se-nior Caelen Garner (220).

“I was pretty excited,” Sieracki said. “The one thing that hurt us was that we had to forfeit some open weights.”

On Dec. 6, the Panthers defeated Sierra, 58-24, in their Metro League opener. Re-cording pins for Woodland Park were fresh-man Drew Hovanetz (106), Hancock (113), sophomore Jesse Weatherill (132), junior Jake Morgan (152), Chisholm (170), Smith (182) and Garner (220).

The Panthers continued their impres-sive ways on Dec. 8 when they traveled to Buena Vista and captured the third-place trophy in the Demon Duals. The Panthers defeated Platte Canyon (66-15) and Glen-wood Springs (55-21), and lost to Buena Vista (43-21).

Chisholm was named the outstanding wrestler of the tournament.

“That was our fi rst piece of hardware,” Sieracki said. “That was pretty nice.”

The Panthers continued their winning ways on Dec. 12 when they defeated Mani-tou Springs, 57-21.

“I don’t think (Manitou Springs) expect-ed us to be where we’re at,” Sieracki said. “They didn’t have a lot of trouble with us last year.”

Woodland park pins went to junior Dan-iel Corbett (145), freshman Sam Garner (152), junior Jonathan Hinton (160), Ch-isholm (170), Smith (182) and Caelen Gar-ner (220).

Woodland Park improved to 2-0 in Metro League meets on Dec. 13 when it defeated Mitchell, 60-19. Pins went to Morgan (138), Corbett (145), Smith (182) and Caelen Gar-ner (heavyweight).

Chisholm is 12-0 this season and clearly the most consistent wrestler on the team.

“Thomas is up there on his own, bur the rest of our team is so well balanced,” Sier-acki said. “I think everyone is realizing the opportunity we have as a group. So many pieces have come together.”

Along with success, Sieracki has seen the program grow from 23 guys at the start of the season to 28.

Woodland Park’s last state champion was Jason Roshek in 1989. The only Panther to advance to last year’s state tournament was Cameron Arias.

“We want to get fi ve guys to state this year,” Sieracki said. “Our other main goal is to win league.”

The Panthers’ next meet is the Westside Tournament on Jan. 5. Their next home meet is against Mesa Ridge on Jan. 17.

Woodland Park champion goes to nationals Special to The Tribune and Courier Woodland Park Parks and Recreation

Congratulations to Colten Sell ! In Oc-tober, during half-time at a Denver Bron-co game, Colten took 1st place during the NFL Punt, Pass and Kick Team Champion-ships for 6- and 7-year-old-boys.

His score was to be compared to 32 other Team Championships nationwide, where he just recently found out that he

is the top scorer. Colten will now have the exciting opportunity to advance to the NFL Punt, Pass and Kick National Compe-tition which will be held during half-time of a NFC Divisional Playoff game on either Jan. 12 or Jan. 13. He won’t know which game he will compete at until one week before the championship competition.

Congratulations Colten, the Woodland Park Parks and Recreation Department is very proud of you. Good Luck!

PANTHERS GIRLS ENTER BREAK 1-7

The Woodland Park girls basketball team earned its fi rst victory of the season on Dec. 14 with a 45-40 victory over Pueblo Centennial. It was the Panthers’ third vic-tory in as many seasons over the Pueblo school.

Leading the way for the Panthers (1-7) were se-niors Hannah Erickson (14 points) and Elin Saxon (10). Three other Panthers scored six points apiece - Reanna Marcengill, Michelle Franke and Bella Fallon.

Woodland Park doesn’t play again until Jan. 5 when it travels to Vanguard. The Panthers open Class 4A Metro League at home on Jan. 10 against Wasson.

Water Buff alo grant independence By Pat Hill [email protected]

In Teller County’s own little melting pot, Ruth Parajuli is among the personality gems that add spice to the region.

Nepalese by birth, Parajuli divides her heart among Nepal and the United States, specifi cally, Woodland Park. Single mother

of two boys, Jakin, 12, and Jamie, 11, Paraju-li is vivacious, warm and active. Where she sees inequality, she works to effect change.

Founder of the Water Buffalo Project, Parajuli is dedicated to raising the standard of living in her native country. “I always want to help the poor, since I was a little girl,” she said.

Inspired by the American way of life, Parajuli transports that innate quality of hope, a defi ning characteristic of the Amer-ican character. “You have opportunities in how you want to live,” she said. “In my country we don’t have much opportunity.”

The wellspring for Parajuli’s project is her work with women, many of them from small villages, in Nepal. “There are a lot of women with a mindset of `I can’t do any-thing because I’m a woman,’” she said.

Since 1997, Parajuli has worked to change that mindset, to help women evolve from feeling inferior to believing in them-selves. Rather than marching for women’s rights, however, Parajuli introduced the benefi ts of the capitalistic system.

With a collective treasury and micro-loans at 2 percent interest, women can af-ford to start businesses, some that begin with a water buffalo. “If we give people a water buffalo, they can sell the animal

or sell the milk; they can have yogurt or cheese,” she said. “They will have money to send their children to school; the water buf-falo is the best gift you can give.”

Ever on the lookout for the exploitation of women, Parajuli took on the issue of human-traffi cking, of women tricked into becoming prostitutes in Mumbai, India. “When I heard this, my heart was broken, so I took a six-month training course to learn how to help,” she said.

Armed with compassion and carry-ing messages of hope, Parajuli traveled to Mumbai and rescued several women from their indentured servitude. “It’s just so horrible of a story; we taught them how to

read and write, showed them how to make sweaters,” she said. “We took them back to their villages in Nepal; and nobody would know they had been prostitutes.”

Until she met Gary Sprague, Parajuli was contributing money for the project on her own, with no outside benefi ts. “Gary told me about money being tax-deductible through his New Horizons Foundation, a nonprofi t organization,” she said. “I was screaming, crying and laughing.”

Parajuli’s project is today part of the Ne-pal Missions, which includes befriending the women benefi ciaries.

For information about contributing, call Parajuli at 617-417-9450.
