However, at CC &V, mining operations con- tinue, with expansion plans up to 2026. In the meantime, CC & V is looking at mining under- ground. “We’ll put a portal and tunnel to start underground exploration,” she said. As buzz continues about a possible sale of the largest employer in Teller County, Mannon has a reminder. “This is not unusual as there have been several owners of this property,” she said. Teller County Commissioner Marc Dettenrie- der represents the people of the southern part of the county. “It will be interesting to see what bids AngloGold receives from interested parties. I expect a number of the big players in the gold mining industry to take a hard look at an out- right acquisition of this property or consider a joint venture opportunity,” Dettenrieder writes in an email. “AngloGold has exhibited exemplary corpo- rate-stewardship qualities throughout their ten- ure here in the Gold Camp district and I wish the company well in their future endeavors if they do end up selling the CC&V mine. The gold reserves are here in the ground in Teller County so I an- ticipate mining operations to continue for years to come, regardless of the company name.” Despite news of a possible sale, Cripple Creek & Victor Mining Co. continues operations, with expansion plans up to 2026.

Town asked to plan for pedestrian traffic Public invited to suggest transportation solutions By Norma Engelberg Contributing writer During public comment at the March 5th Woodland Park City Council meeting Steve Jeroslow, who serves on both the Woodland Aquatic Project committee and the Main Street Committee, asked the city to begin making plans now for increased pedestrian traffic when Woodland Station is built out over the next five to 10 years. Jeroslow was referring mainly to getting pedestrians safely from the north side to the south side of the city’s downtown at Center Street and U.S. 24. Plans for safe crossing could include a traffic signal, a pe- destrian overpass or a tunnel. Public Works Director Wil- liam Alspach said the city has convinced the Colorado Depart- ment of Transportation to install a HAWK-High-Intensity Activated crossWalK beacon system at that intersection probably in October. When the beacon is activated by pedestrians, it starts flashing yellow lights, then red lights and finally a steady red light. Vehicles must stop for these lights and yield to pedestrians. “This is a great interim mea- sure,” Alspach said. “It doesn’t quite make Center Street a signalized intersection,” City Manager David Buttery add- ed.

Silver Key replaces Golden Circle By Teller Senior Coalition For the Courier

Members of the Woodland Park Senior Citizens’ Club have been enjoying daily hot meals furnished by the Golden Circle Nutrition Program for many years. The program pro-vides nutritionally-balanced meals while allowing opportunities for socialization among our 60-plus senior residents.

A nominal suggested donation of $2.25 is asked of each diner 60 and older, but no one is ever denied a meal if unable to pay.

Formerly managed by Colorado Springs Housing Authority, management of the pro-gram was transferred to Silver Key Senior Services Jan. 1.

Teller Senior Coalition, the subcontractor for the program in Teller County, is excited to be working with Silver Key to ensure the continuation of this important program. Silver Key has no plans to make changes to the program.

Silver Key replaces Golden Circle By Teller Senior Coalition For the Courier

Members of the Woodland Park Senior Citizens’ Club have been enjoying daily hot meals furnished by the Golden Circle Nutrition Program for many years. The program pro-vides nutritionally-balanced meals while allowing opportunities for socialization among our 60-plus senior residents.

A nominal suggested donation of $2.25 is asked of each diner 60 and older, but no one is ever denied a meal if unable to pay.

Formerly managed by Colorado Springs Housing Authority, management of the pro-gram was transferred to Silver Key Senior Services Jan. 1.

Teller Senior Coalition, the subcontractor for the program in Teller County, is excited to be working with Silver Key to ensure the continuation of this important program. Silver Key has no plans to make changes to the program.

Town set to change city’s tobacco de� nition Ordinance to set tap fees for mixed use construction gets initial nod By Norma Engelberg Contributing writer

Before the regular March 5 Woodland Park City Council meeting, council spent 1.5 hours interviewing candidates for dep-uty municipal judge. One of the fi rst things it did during the regular meeting was to in-struct City Manager David Buttery to make offers to two of the candidates. Council also designated John Bruce as presiding munici-pal judge.

Council also reappointed Jon DeVaux, Sue Griswold and Darwin Naccarato to the Community Investment Funding Commit-tee and announced that the deadline for ap-plications to fi ll the council seat vacated by Gary Brovetto is noon on March 13. Council must appoint someone to the vacant seat at the March 19 meeting. Tanner Coy, owner of Tweeds Fine Furnishings was presented with this year’s fi rst Business Beautifi cation Award from Keep Woodland Park Beautiful.

Council approved four ordinances on initial posting and set the public hearings on March 19.

The fi rst ordinance sets the process for determining the cost of water and sewer taps for mixed-used construction. Build-ings that have both residential and com-mercial components are considered mixed use and the city code doesn’t address how tap fees will be assessed for these kinds of buildings, said Utilities Director Kip Wiley.

His department and the city’s Utilities Advisory Committee worked together to come up with an equitable plan the city can use to set fees on a project-by-project basis. The ordinance they came up with combines the methods the city uses to set residential tap fees and commercial tap fees. More de-tails about the ordinance will come out at the public hearing.

The second ordinance allows the city to buy 2.3 water shares from the Twin Lakes Reservoir and Canal Company at a cost of almost $91,000. The extra shares will ensure that the city will have enough augmenta-tion water to replace the water it pulls from local aquifers. Water from these additional shares will not increase the number of wa-ter customers the city can serve in the fu-ture.

The third ordinance adds e-cigarettes and nicotine vaporizers to the city defi ni-tion of tobacco products. This amendment will bring city code into alignment with state statute. It will also allow cases involv-ing the illegal use of these products by mi-nors or sale to minors to be handled in mu-nicipal court. Without these amendments, any juveniles cited for using these nicotine delivery devices would have to be tried in district/county court.

“We like to keep these small offenses out of county court when possible,” said Wood-land Park Police Chief Robert Larson. “The county docket deals with major crimes … and it takes a long time to fi t these smaller cases in. Kids can get on our docket quickly and we can set local penalties such as Teen Court.”

The fi nal ordinance allows the city’s wa-ter enterprise to repay a loan of $300,000 from its wastewater enterprise. The loan was made in 2012 to ensure that there would be a three-month reserve in the wa-ter fund. Currently that fund has a 12-18 month reserve so it’s time, according to city Treasurer Wallie Dingwell, to pay back the loan.

Council also approved a resolution sup-porting State Senate Bill 15-177 to add the ability to arbitrate construction defect cas-es instead of always having to take these cases to court, which is both costly and time consuming and poses a barrier to at-tainable and affordable homeownership. The resolution will be sent to the Colorado Municipal League to be forwarded to the state senate.

House OKs ban on gay conversion therapy for minors By Associated Press

Colorado mental health professionals would be barred from practicing gay con-versation therapy with minors under a bill given initial approval last week by the state House.

The sponsor of the bill, Democratic Rep. Paul Rosenthal, a gay lawmaker from Den-ver, said the goal is for therapists to help youths pursue acceptance and support for who they are.

“Helping the youth explore their iden-tity, who they are, not who the therapist thinks they are or who the therapist thinks they should be,’’ he said.

The House advanced the bill on an un-recorded voice vote. A fi nal vote soon could send the proposal to the more conservative Senate, where its chances were less clear.

The measure would forbid therapists from trying to change the sexual orienta-tion or gender identity of a person under 18. Therapists who do not follow the rule

would face disciplinary action from their licensing board.

Republicans worry that therapists could be punished for merely being perceived as trying to change someone’s sexual orienta-tion.

Rep. Brian DelGrosso, the Republican House leader, said he’s concerned about unintended consequences.

He asked what would happen in situa-tions when a youth is confused about sex-ual orientation.

“What I’m worried about is if that line is kind of blurred, that me as the counselor, I would be scared to ever go down that road and have that conversation,” DelGrosso said.

Rosenthal said he’s simply trying to align state licensing standards to medical stan-dards that have long dispelled homosexual-ity as being a mental illness.

New Jersey and California have passed legislation banning gay conversation ther-apy, Rosenthal said.

Council interviews potential judges � ree candidates available for deputy municipal judge position By Norma Engelberg Contributing writer

Woodland Park began looking for one or more deputy municipal judges after former Deputy Municipal Judge Doug Pryce re-signed recently because of a new case he is taking on that could create a confl ict of in-terest. Presiding Judge John Bruce was con-fi rmed in his position in municipal court during the regular meeting.

Six candidates came forward but three were eliminated before interviews began on March 5 before the regular city council meeting. The three remaining candidates were Debra Eiland, the Manitou Springs Municipal Court Prosecutor; Elizabeth Mc-Clintock, who recently opened her own practice in Woodland Park; and Neil Bruce (no relation to Judge Bruce), who recently retired from active practice. All three are Teller County residents.

Each was interviewed for about 30 min-utes by the full council, with a few addition-al questions from Judge Bruce and Court Clerk Carla Collins. When all the interviews were completed, council deliberated and then instructed City Manager David But-tery to make offers to two of them. If they both accept, McClintock would become the primary deputy judge and Eiland would be her backup.

What the interviewers were looking for was a combination of good demeanor, ex-perience and fl exible schedules.

Judge Bruce told council demeanor is critical. The job of a judge is to sit and listen. “That’s sometimes diffi cult when they’ve been advocates for years,” he said. “Also civil law is different from criminal law.”

In Woodland Park, of the crimes most of-ten seen in municipal court, more than 50 percent are traffi c related, the rest include juvenile, code enforcement and barking dog/dog-at-large cases, which Judge Bruce called with tongue in cheek: “everybody’s favorites.”

Before entering private practice, Mc-Clintock was a deputy district attorney for the 4th Judicial District in both the traffi c and juvenile crime divisions. Eiland regu-larly prosecutes traffi c and juvenile crime

in Manitou Springs. Bruce had no prior ex-perience with municipal courts but his for-mer law partner is Colorado Springs Munic-ipal Judge Patrick R. Salt. All three said they would make sure their schedules would not hinder their service to the city.

One of the questions asked by Council-member Bob Carlsen was related to two statistics: that only 6.7 percent of all traffi c stops result in tickets and that fi nes only cover about 1.7 percent of the Woodland Park Police Department’s budget. “We’re not a town that makes money on traffi c stops,”

he said, adding a question about what these statistics say about Woodland Park.

Eiland said the low number of tickets is-sued is unusual and said that most traffi c stops in Manitou Springs result in tickets and fi nes. McClintock said “These statis-tics refl ect well on the community and that when someone is ticketed they’re not going to be penalized excessively. That’s a good thing.” Candidate Bruce said the two statis-tics didn’t give him enough information to make a judgment.

In the end, councilmembers said they

thought McClintock had more fl exibility than Eiland but that both would make good deputy judges to fi ll in when Judge Bruce takes a vacation or is otherwise unable to preside in court.

According to the city charter, coun-cil gets to actually interview and hire only three city positions: municipal judge, dep-uty municipal judges and the city manager. Other hiring is handled by the city manager and staff. City judges must keep their state attorney’s license current while serving.

Theater shooting trial could begin sooner than expected By Associated Press

With jury selection moving faster than expected, a judge last week set two pos-sible dates in April for opening statements in the Aurora theater shooting case.

The trial had been expected to open in May or early June, but Judge Carlos A. Samour Jr. tentatively scheduled the start of the death penalty case for April 21 or April 27.

Jury selection began Jan. 20 and attor-neys have been questioning prospective jurors about their views on capital punish-ment, mental illness and other issues.

Defendant James Holmes has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to charges of killing 12 people and injuring 70 in the July 20, 2012, shooting. If jurors decide he was sane during the attack, they would then determine punishment.

Jury selection has been a testament to

the logistical hurdles of trying a case of a mass shooter who survives his attack.

About 9,000 prospective jurors were summoned in what experts called the big-gest jury pool in U.S. history. The fi gure was nearly nine times the number sum-moned in the Boston marathon bombing trial.

During the fi rst phase, thousands of people fi lled out lengthy questionnaires and Samour dismissed more than 1,000

who brought doctors’ notes, weren’t U.S. citizens, had family problems or weren’t Arapahoe County residents.

Hundreds were asked to return for indi-vidual questioning that began Feb. 11.

Thus far, Samour has asked more than 50 prospective jurors to return for the next round of screening in which he hopes to fi nd a pool of 120 people to winnow to 12 jurors and 12 alternates.

OPINIONY O U R S & O U R S

You know more than myself It is close enough to St. Paddy’s day

to relay the ancient Irish yarn of the old crow teaching the younger crow. I first heard the story as it was retold by Conrad Bladey from his Black Box of Irish stories and has its origins in 18th century Ireland.

There was an old crow long ago, and he made a nest. After a time, only one of his brood remained with him.

One day the old crow took the young one out into the field to teach him how to fly.

When the young crow had learned how to fly and was able to go to any part of Ireland, the old crow said, “I think that you are able to fly anywhere now and make your living by yourself. Before you go, I want to give you a little advice that will protect you from dan-ger, as it has protected myself.”

“Tell it to me,” said the young crow. “If you are ever in a potato field or cornfield and see a man coming toward you with something under his arm or in his hand, fly off immediately, fearing he may have a gun and may shoot you” “I understand,” said the young crow.

“Another bit of advice to you,” said the old crow. “If you see a man bending down as he comes toward you in the field or on the road, fly off as fast as you can, for he will be picking up a stone to throw at you. If he has nothing under his arm and if he doesn’t bend down, you’re safe.” “That’s all very well,” said the young crow, “but what if he has a stone in his pocket?” “Off you go,” said the old crow. “You know more than myself!”

Such is true of the Irish in the mines of Colorado and particularly Teller County. Somewhere between 15 and 20 percent of local residents claim Irish ancestry. Perhaps, some of them have their own stories to tell ...

I can however relay a few stories with

links to my own Celtic mining family.As starter fuel, now the story of

“Powder Keg Carrigan of the infamous, or depending on who you speak with, famous Molly Maguires. This story is from the Archives of the Pinkerton Detective Agency, by Cleveland Moffett, McClure’s Magazine, 1894, pp. 90-100. This story relays how “Powder Keg” acquired his moniker, among other things.

“Some years before, while working in a mine at Beckville, he had come into the slope one cold morning when the men were crowding around a huge sala-mander heaped with burning coals. He carried on his shoulder a keg of powder, and, seeing that there was no place for him at the fire, he leaned over the circle formed by his comfortable comrades, and, placing the keg of powder on the red-hot coals, remarked coolly:

“As long as you boys won’t move, I’ll have to make a place for myself.”

The men scattered in terror right and left, whereupon Carrigan coolly lifted the keg of powder off the salamander, sat down upon it, lit his pipe, and began smoking.”

According to Pinkerton Detective Agency records, “Powder Keg” himself was the man at whose instigation the murder of police officer Franklin B. Yost had been committed.“Carrigan explained to him that they had killed the wrong man, his griev-

ance having been not against Yost, but against another policeman, Bernard McCarron, who had aroused “Powder Keg’s” enmity years before by frequently arresting him for disorderly conduct. Carrigan nursed the memory of this treatment, and when he had became a body-master at once proceeded to arrange for the killing of McCarron. Having applied to Alexander Campbell, the body-master of Landsford, Carbon County, as was customary, for two men to do a “ clean job,” he brought the men to a retired spot on McCarron’s beat. Later in the night, when a policeman passed by, the two men shot him, ac-cording to orders, and then started for their homes. But on that night McCar-ron had exchanged beats with Yost, who accordingly came to a violent death, although neither the Mollys nor anyone else in the region had any but kind feel-ings toward him.

Carrigan showed detective James McParland, who under cover and using the assumed name McKenna, was told of the revolver, a weapon of 32 caliber, with which the policeman had been killed, and explained that it had been borrowed from a Molly named Roar-ity by the two men, Hugh McGehan and James Doyle, who with others had done the murder. McGehan was the man who-fired the fatal shot. McKenna (aka McParland ) secured the names of every man concerned in the crime, and ultimately, on his evidence, it was pun-ished by the hanging, in Pottsville, of Hugh McGehan, Thomas Duffy, James Roarity, James Carl, and James Doyle.”

Carrigan somehow was able to es-cape the rope and as result, relayed his story to other Mollys.

But let’s get back to your own story. “Tell it to me,” said the young crow.

“Off you go,” said the old crow. “You know more than myself!”

Looking over a four leaf clover With St. Patrick’s Day just around the

corner, I thought I would share a little bit about its origins.

From the time we are small children we are told that we’re supposed to wear a little bit of green on March 17. If not, a pinch is sure to come. School chil-dren - and some adults - take time to hunt for lucky four leaf clovers. Most assuredly, there will be those who keep an eye out for Leprechauns and pots of gold.

And for fans of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and Boston Celtics, the world is a little bit better place on March 17.

I used to make it a point to indulge in a Shamrock Shake from McDonald’s each St. Patrick’s Day. I would imagine there is more corned beef and cabbage served on March 17 than at any other time during the year.

The origins of my family tree can be traced back to England, France and Ireland, to name a few, so I can, with all confidence, claim to have a little Irish in me. But we all know that St. Patrick’s Day is not reserved just for those with Irish heritage.

I was in Las Vegas on St. Patrick’s Day with some friends a few years ago and the scene was legendary. Walking down Fremont Street was like trying to catch a subway during rush hour in New York. Interestingly, the next morning Fremont Street was like a ghost town. I would imagine that the majority of those folks walking the streets the night before were dealing with the post ef-fects that come with many St. Patrick’s Day celebrations.

Here is the skinny, with some fat, on the history of St. Patrick’s Day. It celebrates the Roman Catholic feast day of the patron saint of Ireland. St. Patrick

was said to have died on March 17, 460 or 461. But did you know that he wasn’t even Irish?

Patrick’s birth name was Maewyn. He was born in Roman Britain. He was kidnapped into slavery at the age of 16 and brought to Ireland. He escaped to a monastery in Gaul (France), converted to Christianity and went back to Ireland in 432 as a missionary.

While Christianity had already taken hold in the country, tradition has it that Patrick confronted the Druids at Tara and abolished their pagan rites, helping to make Christianity more widespread.

There are several accounts of St. Patrick’s death. One says that St Patrick died at Saul, Downpatrick, Ireland. His jawbone was preserved in a silver shrine and was often requested in times of childbirth, epileptic fits, and as a preservative against the “evil eye.”

Another account says that St. Pat-rick ended his days at Glastonbury, England, and was buried there. The Chapel of St. Patrick still exists as part of Glastonbury Abbey. Today, many Catholic places of worship all around the world are named after St. Patrick, including cathedrals in New York and Dublin, Ireland.

Celebrations for St. Patrick in Ireland were not that big of a deal until a cou-ple of hundred years ago. When large

masses of Irish people immigrated to the United States in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, they created the bigger celebrations and parades known today.

Eighteenth century Irish soldiers who fought in the Revolutionary War held the first St. Patrick Day parades. The celebrations became a way for the Irish to connect with their roots after they moved to America.

According to legend St. Patrick used the three leaf clover (or shamrock) to explain the Trinity. Over time a four leaf clover became a symbol of luck.

The practice of dyeing a river green started in Chicago in 1962 when city officials decided to dye a portion of the Chicago River green.

Corned beef is actually an Irish-American dish. Many Irish Americans were so poor they could not afford certain meals. On St. Patrick’s Day, the best meal they could afford was beef and cabbage. It became a staple for the holiday.

Colorado Springs hosts an annual St. Patrick’s Day parade, although it rarely takes place on March 17. This year’s parade is scheduled to begin at noon on Saturday, March 14. The 31st annual parade will feature athletic events and tons of other fun things for people of all ages.

Over 100 parade entries, including bands, floats, flags, leprechauns, cars and fire trucks will highlight one of the grandest traditions in Colorado Springs, and one of the biggest events in the Pikes Peak region. More than 30,000 people are expected to cheer and line the streets as the parade winds through the heart of downtown to the sounds of bagpipes. And you can bet your bottom that more than one or two people will be wearing kilts.

OBITUARIES

Marjorie “Marge” J. Mc-Main died on Wednesday, Jan. 21, 2015, at home in Anchorage, AK, surrounded by family, after a six month battle with leukemia.

Two memorial ser-vices are planned, one in Anchorage on Thursday, February 5, 2015, at 3 pm, at First Presbyterian Church Anchorage, 616 W. 10th Ave.; and one in Albuquer-que on Saturday, March 21, 2015, at 3 pm, at Chelwood Christian Reformed Church, 2200 Chelwood Pk. Blvd. NE, Albuquer-que, NM. According to her wishes she will be cremated and ashes spread in AK, NM and MI.

Marge was born February 16, 1930, in Detroit MI to Herman and Esther Yost, the oldest of three children. She spent her youth in MI and attended college in Crete, NE, Doane Col-lege and graduated from Colorado State College of Education in Greeley, CO. Her teaching career took her from CA, MI, CO and fi-

nally NM. She raised four children, taught school full-time and achieved a Master’s of Arts degree. Colorado was her home from 1960-1972 and then New Mexico claimed her heart from 1972 until her move to Anchorage in July 2014.

Marge’s love for geol-ogy led her to meet and marry Albert McMain in 1989. They shared three short years together, but a lifetime of memories. Al’s large family became hers and she maintained a close relationship with them.

Marge was a loyal friend to many with connections ranging from geology, iris cultivation, world travel, reading, genealogy and volunteering at church and local civic organizations. Marge’s humor and “spark” marked her personality and

will be remembered fondly.A special thank you

goes to the Katmai Oncol-ogy chemo nurses and Dr. Shannon Smiley who touched Marge’s life with exceptional care and com-passion.

Marge is survived by her four children, Greg (Jeanie) Solsvig, LuAnn (Dale) Webb, both in Anchorage, AK, Lerre Solsvig in Little-ton, CO and Keith Solsvig in Wasilla, AK; 11 grandchil-dren, 13 great grandchil-dren and many step-grand and great grandchildren in the McMain clan.

In Loving Memory Did you know...Colorado Community Media was created to connect you to 21 community papers with

boundless opportunity and rewards.

Are your workouts too easy? Recently a friend I hadn’t heard from in

a while sent me an emails saying, “I joined a health club last year, spent about $400. I haven’t lost a pound. Apparently, you have to show up.”

My friend’s epiphany may help her get back in shape, but unfortunately a lot of people who are showing up at the gym complain of the same problem. They’re not getting the results they expected.

Even though they spent a couple hun-dred bucks on a stylish workout outfi t and get to the gym religiously 3 times a week, they may as well be phoning in their exer-cise sessions. If that’s you, chances are your workout routines are too easy.

According to the magazine Men’s Jour-nal, a new study by a team of Canadian researchers contends that people think they’re pushing harder in their exercise routines than they really are. The results of the study demonstrate that most people don’t really understand what moderate and vigorous intensity really mean.

U.S. exercise guidelines, which are very

similar to Canadian physical activity guide-lines, suggest 75 minutes of vigorous or 150 minutes of moderate exercise a week to achieve maximum health benefi ts. The researchers gather up 129 sedentary adults and educated them on the concept of light, moderate and vigorous exercise.

Participants were asked to walk or jog on a treadmill at their perception of “light,” “moderate” and “vigorous” efforts as scientists monitored their heart rate and peak oxygen uptake. While most nailed the defi nition of light exercise, their interpreta-tions of moderate and vigorous exercise

fell far short.The men in the study fared the worst

with 87 percent overestimating their ex-ecution of moderate intensity and 72 per-cent missing the vigorous intensity mark. Underestimating exercise intensity is a key factor in failing to get desired results.

Lead researcher Jennifer Kuk says, “It may be that they are not familiar enough with exercise, particularly more strenuous exercise, so they underestimate what they are capable of.” In the words of this old gym rat, “People quit mentally long before their body quits.”

So, how do you know if your workout is tough enough? The experts at the Harvard Medical School offer guidelines in “Per-ceived Exertion.”

Light intensity should feel easy. You are breathing easily, warming up but not sweating and able to talk or even sing.

A light to moderate exertion means you’re working but not too hard. You’re still breathing easily, sweating lightly and can still talk and sing.

If you’re breathing faster and there’s no doubt you’re working, you’ve achieved moderate intensity. Here you start to sweat more and are still able to talk but forget about singing.

Huffi ng and puffi ng, sweating and only able to talk in short sentences is the hall-mark of the moderate to vigorous stage. And when your perception of your work-out is very hard and breathing is hard and talking diffi cult, you’ve reached vigorous exercise.

If you’re just getting started on an exer-cise program, work your way slowly to the vigorous exercise stage. You seasoned gym veterans … pick it up!

Ute Pass development In March 1920, an entire Colorado town

was purchased by Thomas Cusack, known as the “billboard king.” (You know, highway billboards). This has been a huge mon-eymaker since the highway system really started when everyone stared traveling in a car.

Cusack’s company was from Chicago, and had billboards all over that area. The unique deal, which turned over, “lock stock and barrel” the town of Cascade, hotels, homes, sidewalks, light plant, water rights, and the town lockup (yes, a jail!). The Cascade Town and Improvement company made the sale, which was said to be with-out precedent where an individual is the purchaser. The town of Cascade had been incorporated in 1887, after the Colorado Midland railroad built up Ute Pass.

Cascade is situated in Ute Pass, 12 miles west of Colorado Springs in El Paso County. Its population ranged from 206 people in winter to 1,500 in the tourist season. There were 500 acres in the town site. Specifi cally mentioned in the deed of sale were the Hotel Ramona of forty rooms, the Cascade hotel of 40 rooms, fi ve cottages, water rights said to be of great value, including a lusty waterfall, 11,000 feet of ditch and piping the Deer Lick Springs pavilion, Cas-cade Lake and the insurance of the United States government against pollution of the water supply.

“It is the intention of Mr. Cusack to make the town of Cascade one of the great-

est mountain resorts in the world,” said Mr. Curran. “He already has architects at work preparing plans for a new resort hotel, which will be the center for a large number of cabin units built of logs.”

The resort represented an investment well in excess of a quarter million dollars. The town itself cost $100,000. Mr. Cusack moved to Cascade. “One reason for the purchase was to protect property Mr. Cusack owns on the Pike’s Peak road.” Mr. Cusack, who was 64 years old, started out in business as a wagon painter. He estab-lished his sign painting company in 1876 and now has billboard agencies in all large American cities throughout the east and mid west.

The old Ramona Hotel, a landmark in Ute Pass was replaced by the stone chapel. Cusack built a fi ne home, Merigreen Pines, just downhill from the town. We can still see most of the changes made at Cascade, even though the town has continued to grow far beyond any.

Feds need to help counties in West For decades, communities across Colo-

rado and the West have engaged in a contract with the federal government. This is because many counties have large swaths of federal land within their borders in the form of BLM land, national forests, and national parks and monuments.

These lands aren’t taxable, and local com-munities often cover the expenses of main-taining access to these lands and providing safety and other fi rst-responder services. To help offset those losses, the federal govern-ment has reimbursed states and counties through a program called Payment in Lieu of Taxes. It’s often referred to as PILT.

Colorado is 36 percent federal land, and some counties in the state contain more than 90 percent federal land, making PILT critical to their budgets and planning. Twelve coun-ties depend on more than $1 million a year in PILT funding, and Garfi eld and Mesa coun-ties rely on more than $3 million in funding. In 2014, Colorado counties were owed $34.5 million in total. Communities use this money to fund critical services, such as law enforce-ment, fi re protection, emergency response programs, road and bridge maintenance, and search and rescue operations.

In recent years, ensuring the federal government lives up to its end of the bargain has been diffi cult. With the end of mandatory funding due to congressional inaction, fund-ing now has to be reauthorized every year. With all of the dysfunction in Washington,

we’ve had some close calls. Many times coun-ties have been forced to wait until deep into the fi scal year. Two years ago, we were able to secure a one-year PILT extension in the 2014 Farm Bill after it was omitted from a govern-ment funding bill. For 2015, we funded it by cobbling together resources from two differ-ent bills. But there is no guarantee for 2016.

We’ve seen similar problems with a program called Secure Rural Schools (SRS), which has a similar purpose and has actually expired completely. Counties rely on the SRS program to provide critical services like maintenance projects and forest restora-tion, and it’s an important resource for rural schools. In 2014, Colorado’s rural communi-ties received more than $10 million in SRS money. With its expiration, many rural school districts are facing tremendous budget short-falls that will impair their ability to educate our students.

With these programs in jeopardy, we joined forces with Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon and Republican Sen. Mike

Crapo of Idaho to introduce a bill to restore mandatory funding for the PILT program and extend the SRS program for three years. It will provide roughly $360 million annually for more than 700 counties across the nation. These resources are an essential lifeline for communities facing continuously shrinking budgets, and it is funding the federal govern-ment owes to them.

We have worked with Colorado counties for years on these issues and have heard from county commissioners and school districts across the state about their signifi cance. The counties encompassing the San Juan Mountains rely on PILT funding to plow the region’s scenic mountain passes and roads, like Yankee Boy Basin Road in Ouray County, that attract thousands of visitors annually. In

Gunnison County, the funding is crucial for conducting search and rescue operations in the national forests, as well as for maintaining road access to the forests. In Silverton, SRS funding makes up a signifi cant portion of the school budget. If Chaffee County lost PILT funding, commissioners would be forced to make devastating cuts that could result in a loss of emergency medical services.

The federal government has made a promise to these rural communities. There is no reason for Congress to leave them in limbo year after year. Our bill ensures that local governments have the certainty they need to plan and budget so they can provide these crucial services. It’s time for the federal government to honor its contract with Colo-rado counties.

Kozleski adds partner, Gearhart joins CPA practice By Pat Hill [email protected]

Rather than winding down his CPA prac-tice, Gene Kozleski is expanding the busi-ness with a new partner, Thom Gearhart. “For years I’ve turned people away because I didn’t want to expand, so now we can,” Ko-zleski said. “We’re going to make ourselves available for all sorts of accounting.”

Gearhart brings 32 years of experience to the partnership at Kozleski Certifi ed Public Accountants, 25 of them in Colorado Springs and seven in Illinois. “I think there’s a great synergy between Gene and myself,” he said. “Gene’s just the best tax guy on the planet.”

The synergy sparks comprehensive ser-vices that include Gearhart’s focus on tax planning and Kozleski’s on preparing the return. “From a client perspective they can fi nd us all year long and keep more of what they make through planning and not just a reactive tax return at the end of the year,” Gearhart said. “We like the proactive ap-proach to accounting.”

The two plan to focus on small-and medium-size businesses. “Gene has a great depth of knowledge of the business climate here,” Gearhart said. “We hope our clients will feel like they have the best possible re-sources that are available in the state, and probably, national.”

Kozleski added. “So many people start businesses and fail within two years be-cause they don’t talk to anybody before,” he said. “I’ve just found, over the years, if they’d just come and talk to somebody about what can they expect, what forms do they need, simple things like that.”

Kozleski’s clients are keepers, whether they live in Woodland Park or not. “At one time I had clients on fi ve continents and maybe 12 countries, including the Central African Republic, Ivory Coast, Afghanistan, Germany, Canada, Australia, Saudi Arabia and the Philippines,” Kozleski said. “Last year I had people in 22 different states who continue to mail their information to us.”

Kozleski started his practice in Trinidad in 1978. Three years later, in a love-at-fi rst-sight visit to Woodland Park, the Kozleskis, Gene and Anne, packed up and moved.

“I looked in the phone book and there was one CPA here, so I called the number and got this message `this number has been disconnected,’” he said.

He opened the offi ce Jan. 12, 1981, in the offi ce building on Lake Street. “I sat here and waited for the phone to ring,” he said.

Kozleski credits the former Ute Pass Courier (now the Pikes Peak Courier) for introducing him to the community. “Gene Sperry owned the paper at the time and I asked if he’d do an article about me,” he said. “He took pictures, we did an article

and I got started that way.”Over the years, Kozleski has been a vital

part of the community, as a city councilor, planning commissioner and president of the Greater Woodland Park while being a member of various boards.

Kozleski’s offi ce at 210 N. Pine has been compared to a locker room, with pictures and certifi cates that refl ect his activi-ties, softball, ice skating, golf, family and community involvement. “This is my life I spend so much time here this has got to please me,” he said.

Kozleski and his wife Anne are a team. “She does everything out there, keeps the offi ce fl owing,” he said.

With Gearhart and his wife Teresa join-

ing the team, the founder’s

signature stays. “Gene’s name is so well re-spected we’re going to keep the fi rm name `Kozleski Certifi ed Public Accountants,’” Gearhart said. “That’s the heart part of this to keep the practice.”

The partnership is the second for the popular accountant who, several years ago, added Rick Chulick to the business - to be-come Chulick and Kozleski, whose offi ce is in a separate location.

At the age of 70, Kozleski doesn’t men-tion the “r” word. “My plan is never to re-tire,” he said. “I know that’s not practical - at some point, there’s retirement, but it cer-tainly isn’t going to be this year.”

At midpoint, lawmakers have plenty pending Weighty topics will likely be tackled by divided Legislature in second half By Ivan Moreno and Kristen Wyatt Associated Press

What’s been a sleepy legislative session is about to ramp up as Colorado lawmakers head into the fi nal two months with signifi cant debates pending, including the annual budget, increasing oversight on police, and whether to pass new fracking regulations.

At the halfway point of the session, few proposals have passed, and the ones that have succeeded have been minor or technical.

Call it a consequence of the division of powers at the statehouse, with Democrats controlling the House and Re-publicans the Senate.

As Democratic House Speaker Dickey Lee Hullinghorst bluntly put it: “We are killing a few of the ideological bills coming from the Senate. There are a few of ours that may get the same treatment.”

Whatever victories each party has achieved have been largely symbolic.

Senate Republicans are advancing a repeal of a 15-round ammunition magazine limit, and an expansion of back-ground checks for private and online sales. Both laws were adopted by Democrats in 2013 when they controlled both chambers.

While those repeal bills are expected to pass the Senate, they’re doomed in the House. Some have already been re-jected.

“We’re not going backwards,” Hullinghorst said.House Democrats, meanwhile, are advancing a bill to

keep a commission that studies pay disparities affecting women and minorities.

Senate Republicans have voted to disband the commis-sion that’s due to expire in July, and they’ll likely stop Dem-ocrat efforts to continue it.

Still pending for the second half of the session:

The state budgetAptly named the Long Bill, it details Colorado’s spending

for the next year. With divided chambers, negotiations be-tween the two parties are likely to be more intense than in prior years when Democrats held complete control.

Student testingA series of bills are still awaiting debate. Lawmakers

from both parties have expressed concern that Colorado students spend too much time taking standardized tests. Lawmakers will consider bills to limit testing to federal minimums and to eliminate some tests for the latest grades in high school.

Police oversightHouse Democrats are proposing several bills placing

limits on law enforcement and oversight on department practices. Measures include banning chokeholds, having a special prosecutor review decisions in cases of excessive or deadly force, and increasing the use of body cameras.

MarijuanaBoth parties want to see a measure asking voters to ap-

prove pot taxes a third time, a maneuver to overcome a quirk in Colorado tax law that could require the state to re-fund more than $44 million in new recreational pot taxes. Lawmakers say they’re holding off until a fi nal update on the size of the pot taxes, which is expected later this month.

Gateway hosts food festivalBy Pat [email protected]

With nine languages represented at Gateway Elementary in Woodland Park, the school is a veritable melting pot. “We have a rich cultural experience at school,” said the principal, Kay Lynn Waddell.

For the English Language Learners, Kathy Eans offers class-room support for students from countries such as Norway, Sweden, Germany, Mexico, Peru, China and Morocco. “The ideal is that I know the curriculum and can do a lesson to support the children in English instruction,” she said.

Unlike a bilingual program, all classes are conducted in Eng-lish. “They have the same testing that our other students do,” she said. For Spanish speakers, the school provides an interpreter, Irene Pedroza.

To engage the students, Eans gets the educational adrenaline going with classes that include persuasive arguments. Among the topics is the question of extreme sports and whether they are okay for kids or not.

“They have to support their arguments with facts,” Eans said. “I love the cultural diversity, love to see the kids shine when they see they can do what English speakers do.”

The students from other countries help the school unfold a world outside of Woodland Park and Colorado, in general. “Their ideas are so deep, there are layers they can give a classroom if they are allowed to share,” Eans said. “It’s good for them, good for the class and for our school.”

As a result of the range of students throughout the five schools, the district hired Bev Allen to facilitate programs for English Language Learners. “Every situation and every child is so different,” Allen said. “Some kids don’t have the background knowledge of where our kids are coming from so we provide visuals.”

The school celebrated the variety of cultures with a cooking festival March 3 that brought families and students together to share the foods of their countries.

“Cooking Around the World,” was organized by Tina Hancock, a Gateway parent, and Marci Nickelsburg, with Community Partnership Family Resource Center.

“The kids are so proud of their culture and the fact that they were doing the cooking as a family,” Nickelsburg said.

The partnership provided each family with $40 to pay for the ingredients for their dishes.

Habitat on a roll of good luck By Pat Hill [email protected]

It was the luck of the draw for Teller County’s Habitat for Humanity. Of 650 non-profi ts that responded to a survey, Habitat’s name was pulled out of the proverbial hat to win $500.

A project of the State of Evaluation and Learning, the survey sought information about how nonprofi ts view effective evalu-ations. “We want to know the end result of a Habitat homeowner,” said Jamie Caperton, executive director. “Will it improve their lives?”

The check is the latest in a string of good fortune. In what Caperton viewed as another long shot, the organization won a $40,000 grant from Habitat’s national offi ce. The grant will pay for a full-time assistant for one year.

If that weren’t enough, the Teller County organization recently won a $5,000 grant from Lowe’s to be used for building materi-als.

Every little bit helps, as the organization recently paid off a $500,000 loan from Park State Bank & Trust. “We have cash reserves to build a duplex in Cripple Creek,” Caper-ton said, adding that the recipients have been selected.

This week, 15 college students from Michigan and Wisconsin will spend spring break working on the duplex, as part of the international Collegiate Challenge Pro-gram. “This is our fi rst year to host students and we are excited and blessed to have this rich resource,” Caperton said. “Just imagine what we will be able to accomplish with 15 sets of energetic college hands for a week!”

In May, Caperton and the board of direc-tors host a Habitat benefi t titled “A World of Thanks: An Evening Honoring Carol and Eddie Sturman.” The Sturmans, who live in Woodland Park, are known internationally for Eddie’s innovations that stem from his invention of the digital valve.

For information, call Caperton at 687-4447.

Sliding pay scale or Insurance Co Pay acceptedEvenings and weekends available

Older Americans Act stuck in Congress By Pat Hill [email protected]

Woodland Park senior citizens missed an opportunity to suggest a list of services that would make life easier while living in the mountains as the years creep up.

“We want to hear from folks who live and work in the three counties that we provide funding to,” said Carrie Schilling, who rep-resents Area Agency on Aging. “What works, what doesn’t work; what would you like to see more of?”

In a presentation March 3 there was only one senior citizen present to add input to a four-year strategic plan by AAA and Pikes Peak Area Council of Governments, which was represented that day by Rachel Beck. The counties are El Paso, Teller and Park.

The plan will be submitted to the state’s Unit on Aging, which regulates and moni-tors services available to seniors.

However, Schilling and Beck heard plen-

ty of opinions from several professionals who have a stake in helping people 60 and above. They all agreed that, when it comes to receiving money from the federal gov-ernment, there are too many rules, regula-tions and paperwork.

“I need fewer requirements, you need fewer requirements,” said Mary Barrow-man, executive director and president of Prospect Home Care & Hospice. “We spend more time doing this than providing the care.”

A national issue has recently come to light concerning regulations around meals served at senior centers. In Woodland Park, the lunches are funded, in part, by the fed-eral government.

“You’re not meeting a need because peo-ple are going elsewhere,” Barrowman said, adding that some seniors choose instead inexpensive meals at fast-food restaurants. “Lunches are too regulated, requiring a pre-cise amount of sodium and potassium.”

For agencies that depend on federal

money, the nutritional guidelines are a challenge, Schilling said.

In Woodland Park, however, the noon meal is well-received and is funded, in part, by AAA, Silver Key, Teller County and Teller Senior Coalition. “There are out-of-pocket costs for getting the meals here,” said Bar-bara Berger, executive director of TSC, which spends $12,000 a year supporting the program. “We’ll continue to help provide lunches because it’s important.”

In addition to the lunches, the federal government provides funding for insurance assistance, support for family caregivers, ombudsmen and resources for people with disabilities.

The services depend on funding, fun-neled through AAA and PPACG, via the Old-er Americans Act.

“As all the baby boomers grow older and become eligible for services, and as more need services, the funding has stayed the same,” Schilling said. “We’ve been fortunate in Colorado because Gov. Hickenlooper

sees the value in funding services to seniors and is pushing for an additional $4 million dollars in the state budget for 16 Area on Aging Agencies.”

The one senior citizen, Jean Billingiere, who wasn’t a professional, was at times dis-traught, said that older people have become a “throwaway society.” As well, Billingiere expressed outrage over the lack of response from Medicare, which raised her co-pay for a shot of insulin from $130 to $350. “I’ve cut my insulin down,” she said.

In response, Schilling suggested she call the Senior Insurance Assistance Program. (The number is 635-4891). “These folks are professional counselors; they can’t sell any type of insurance,” she said.

Billingiere perhaps spoke for a vast num-ber of senior citizens. “I just never thought that when I got to be this age, this would be happening,” she said.

Peak Internet expands broadband Baker to host public meetings By Pat Hill [email protected]

In a sign of progress for telecommunica-tions in rural Teller County, fi ve cell towers herald the introduction of broadband ser-vice provided by Peak Internet.

“We’ve developed a plan over the last few months and are putting that plan in place,” said Jayson Baker, founder and owner of Peak Internet. “The technology hasn’t been there for us to expand and offer the fast speed we offer in Woodland Park.”

By the middle of March, Baker expects to add three more towers, followed by 10 ad-ditional within the year.

In expanding service to Internet users in Divide, Florissant, Indian Creek, Lake George and rural areas around Cripple Creek, the company relied on patience to initiate the connection.

“The towers only serve a radius of fi ve miles, so we had to fi nd all these sites and everything that goes along with that,” Baker said.

For users whose only option in the past was connection via satellite, the new ser-vice by Peak Internet offers speeds from 12 to 100 Mbps. Along with the internet con-nection, the company includes land-line telephone service.

“We’re really trying to get to the per-son who is under-served, expanding into subdivisions such as Rainbow Valley and Woodrock,” Baker said. “All our sites are re-dundant so if one tower fails it doesn’t take down everything.”

Voted one of Colorado’s Companies to Watch, Peak Internet does all of its work with 13 employees who receive salary and benefi ts. “We’re not using contractors from out of the area, but hiring people who work for us out of this offi ce,” he said.

The expansion into rural Teller County is a response to a demand. “We’ve been get-ting calls for the past two years,” Baker said.

To gauge the needs of the people of

Teller County, Baker is planning a monthly town-hall style meeting, probably in April. “We want to explain our plans for expan-sion, where we’re headed, what areas we’re going to cover,” he said.

As well, residents are invited to suggest areas of expansion currently not served by Peak Internet. Baker expects to announce the time and date of the fi rst meeting.

New lawsLast month, the Federal Communica-

tions Commission ruled net neutrality, which was lauded by technology compa-nies and consumer groups but opposed by many Internet service providers.

In an email to The Courier, Baker stated Peak Internet’s position on net neutrality.

“The new laws mainly deal with three things; paid prioritization, equal ac-cess and censorship. Paid prioritization would allow companies like ESPN to pay a carrier like AT&T to handle their con-tent with more priority on their network and not count against a subscriber’s data usage. While that may seem like a great thing for ESPN, it may not be so great for smaller companies that can’t afford to pay the larger carriers to prioritize their content as well. Equal access goes hand-in-hand with paid prioritization, ensur-ing that all content is handled equally on a carrier’s network, no matter what the source. That restricts carriers from giving priority to your email messages and slowing down your Facebook access. Lastly is censorship; no carrier will be allowed to censor or block consumers’ access to any sites on the Internet. Peak Internet already believes in these things and has set forth internal policies which will already comply with these new regu-lations. We’re not expecting any changes or impacts to our services as a result of the new laws.”

Junior Chefs shine on breakfast By Pat Hill [email protected]

Top area chefs Bobby Crouch, Victor Matthews and James Davis judged a vari-ety of breakfast samples prepared by Lau-ren Stuart’s Junior Chefs in the kitchen at Woodland Park High School.

The entries included pancakes, Eggs Benedict, waffl es, eggs and fruit - recipes designed to wow the chefs and win the con-test March 4 sponsored by General Mills. The entries were judged on creativity, pre-sentation and taste.

In the end, the three chefs chose the breakfast dish of pancakes, Eggs Benedict and fruit, prepared by fourth-graders Sara Kuhn and Indira Yantorno, fourth-graders at Columbine Elementary School.

The winners will have their photos lami-nated on a box of Wheaties.

Stuart initiated the contest to celebrate National School Breakfast Week.

Avery Larsen, 9, and her sister, Emma Larsen, prepared waffl es topped with strawberries and whipped cream. Asked to reveal the secret ingredient of the waffl es, Avery said, “Vanilla.”

The judges are well-known in the Pikes Peak Region. Couch is owner/chef of the Green Line Grill in Colorado Springs; Mat-thews owns the Paragon Culinary School and recently launch the Black Bear Distill-ery in Green Mountain Falls while Davis is the chef at 2 South in Old Colorado City.

Sheri� s sue Colorado over marijuana By Kristen Wyatt Associated Press

Ten sheriffs from three different states sued Colorado on March 5 for decriminalizing marijuana — joining a handful of recent legal challenges urg-ing courts to strike down the state’s le-galization of recreational pot.

The sheriffs from Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska say that Colorado’s 2012 marijuana legalization vote violates federal law.

Legislators eye more oversight for police Law enforcement balks at bill for data collection By Ivan Moreno Associated Press

Democrats are spearheading a package of legislation aimed at expanding oversight of Colorado law enforcement and placing limits on their power, a response to allega-tions of excessive force both in the state and nationally.

The proposals include collecting demo-graphic data on arrests, banning the use of chokeholds, increasing the use of body cameras, and appointing a special pros-ecutor to review decisions not to charge an offi cer when deadly force is used or exces-sive force is alleged. In all, Democrats are considering at least seven proposals, most of which are expected to be introduced this month.

Law enforcement groups have ex-pressed opposition to the data-collection bill, which is the only one that’s been fi led, calling it an unfunded mandate. In a letter to lawmakers, the Colorado Association of

Chiefs of Police said they “recognize that recent events throughout the country make it more important than ever to continue to fi nd ways to build trust with our citizens.” The group added, however, that it “will not support legislation that is punitive, ill con-sidered, or which negatively impacts the safety or due process of our citizens or of-fi cers.”

Colorado is the latest state to join the debate about what restrictions, if any, are needed in the aftermath of the death of Michael Brown, an unarmed black 18-year-old who was killed during a confrontation with a white offi cer in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson. The death of Eric Garner after he was placed in a chokehold by a New York police offi cer added tension to an already heated debate.

At least a dozen states have proposed legislation this year that mandate or ex-pand the use of body cameras. Lawmakers in other states have also considered the use of special prosecutors in deadly-force cases.

In Colorado, there’s been public unrest over the fatal police shooting in January of 17-year-old Jessica Hernandez. Authorities say Hernandez was in a stolen car that she drove toward an offi cer trying to talk to her.

Two offi cers fi red at Hernandez, and the case is under investigation.

Before that, there was community out-cry over the 2010 death of Marvin Booker, a black homeless street preacher in custody at Denver’s county jail. Deputies shocked him with a stun gun while he was hand-cuffed and put him in a sleeper hold to try to control him. His family said Booker, 56, was frail and had a heart condition.

Democrats pushing the bills in Colora-do control only one of the two statehouse chambers, the House, so the chances of their proposals advancing are unclear.

Collecting data on arrests and the dis-position of cases, Democrats say, will help determine whether minority groups are disproportionately targeted by police and the judicial system. But it’s unknown how the proposal will be funded.

State Rep. Daniel Kagan, D-Cherry Hills Village, is sponsoring the bill on special prosecutors and expanding the use of body cameras. He said he’s not implying there are problems with charging decisions now.

“But there is potential for mistrust when the police are the objects of investigation by the district attorney who works so closely with the police,” he said.

Other bills include:� Eliminating a fi ve-year sentencing min-

imum for second-degree assault on law en-forcement offi cers. Judges would still have the discretion to sentence someone to fi ve years, said Rep. Jovan Melton, D-Aurora. But he’s concerned that currently people feel pressured to plead guilty to a lower charge, even when they believe they’re in-nocent, to avoid a fi ve-year sentence.

� Forbidding law enforcement from con-fi scating recording devices during police-citizen confrontations unless there’s a war-rant or permission from the owner of the recording.

Some Republicans wonder whether law-enforcement reform is something that should be addressed in Colorado now.

“I’m a little concerned that we’re taking a broad brush to situations that may only ap-ply to one or two bad apples in the depart-ment across the state,” said Rep. Polly Law-rence, R-Roxborough. “And I’m concerned that we’re taking really extreme situations that happened outside of Colorado and ap-plying them to law enforcement agencies in our state.”

Junior Chefs shine on breakfast Snow keeps auto service companies busy Four-wheel drive is a good thing to have here in Teller County By Kaitlyn Pratt Contributing writer

The towing and auto repair companies have been put to work with the recent snow storms.

“We’ve been staying super busy with slide offs both from the roads and from driveways,” said Jeanette Zeiler from Fred’s Towing.

Driving in the snow is nothing that local residents aren’t used to, but accidents still do happen. Last week Fred’s Towing was called out to a rollover, in which the vehicle was completely demolished. The injuries to the elderly couple who were driving the vehicle were very minor.

“We attribute a lot of that to the fact that they were wear-ing seatbelts, and the work of the rescuers,” said Zeiler. “We see a lot of miracles,” she added.

The Crags campground and hiking area tends to see the highest volume of vehicles in need of a lift from Fred’s Tow-ing in the winter months. This is mainly because of the ter-rain and the amount of shade in the area that can keep the snow around until June.

“We can count on pulling at least two people out of the crags every weekend,” said Zeiler. “People get in there and don’t understand what is ahead of them.”

The shady curves on highway 67 just north of Woodland Park also make a prime spot for slide offs.

The greatest danger of winter driving is the amount of time it can take for rescue teams to reach the site of an acci-dent or slide off. The weather also makes it harder for any-one to locate a vehicle that has gone off the road.

“It can take a couple of hours,” said Mac McClung at Bad Rock Auto. “We have a lot remote areas.”

He suggested that one of the best things to do is to keep a kit in your car with blankets or a sleeping bag, and food and water. It is also good to make sure that the exhaust pipe is clear so that exhaust doesn’t back up into the vehicle.

“Several years back there was a slide off during snow, the tracks were covered, and it was days before it was discov-ered,” said McClung.

While that is a very rare eventuality, it is still good to be prepared.

In terms of cost, sliding off the road can be just a mat-ter of luck. Damages can range from costing nothing, to costing a small fortune. Recently Bad Rock Auto has seen

everything from $80 alignments to a 1999 Audi that had thousands of dollars in damage to the suspension, struts and frame. The cold weather has also caused a number of failed charging systems.

“Batteries and alternators take more abuse in cold weather. It takes more energy to get engines to run in the cold,” said Tom with the Home Town Garage. “Electrical systems operate at a lower effi ciency. Cold can make charg-ing systems go bad.”

Most auto body technicians all agree that, while four wheel drive is a good thing to have, putting good tires on

a vehicle is even more important, but the most important thing to do is drive slow.

The sheriffs from Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska say that Colorado’s 2012 marijuana legalization vote violates federal law.

“A state may not establish its own

policy that is directly counter to federal policy against traffi cking in controlled substance,” the sheriffs argue in the lawsuit fi led in U.S. District Court in Denver.

The lawsuit is the latest legal chal-lenge to legal weed. Nebraska and Oklahoma have appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court to strike down mari-juana legalization in Colorado. The Su-preme Court hasn’t said yet whether it will hear that case.

A group of Colorado residents have fi led their own federal challenge, say-

ing marijuana reduces property values.The sheriffs note that more than

half of Colorado’s recreational pot sales last year were sold to out-of-state visi-tors, according to data from Colorado’s marijuana regulators. The sheriffs say the weed is spilling across state lines. Even in Colorado, the sheriffs say, legal weed forces police offi cers to violate federal drug law.

“The scheme enacted by Colorado for retail marijuana is contrary and obstructive” to federal drug laws, the sheriffs argue.

Legislators eye more oversight for police Other bills include:� Eliminating a fi ve-year sentencing min-

imum for second-degree assault on law en-forcement offi cers. Judges would still have the discretion to sentence someone to fi ve years, said Rep. Jovan Melton, D-Aurora. But he’s concerned that currently people feel pressured to plead guilty to a lower charge, even when they believe they’re in-nocent, to avoid a fi ve-year sentence.

� Forbidding law enforcement from con-fi scating recording devices during police-citizen confrontations unless there’s a war-rant or permission from the owner of the recording.

Some Republicans wonder whether law-enforcement reform is something that should be addressed in Colorado now.

“I’m a little concerned that we’re taking a broad brush to situations that may only ap-ply to one or two bad apples in the depart-ment across the state,” said Rep. Polly Law-rence, R-Roxborough. “And I’m concerned that we’re taking really extreme situations that happened outside of Colorado and ap-plying them to law enforcement agencies in our state.”

Sells’ impressive soccer career speaks for itself�e Woodland Park senior has 47 career goals heading into senior seasonBy Danny [email protected]

When Jenny Sells plays her final soc-cer game for Woodland Park High School sometime in May, she will be remembered as one of the best players in the history of the program.

The diminutive forward is among the school’s career leaders in goals (47) and as-sists (27). And she has done all that in her first three seasons - all as a starter.

“When Jenny’s teams have needed her to raise her game she’s provided it,” said Woodland Park coach Andrew Pappadakis. “She’s like the mortar in our brick wall. She’s produced for her team.”

Sells made an immediate impact as a freshman in 2012, scoring a team-leading 14 goals to help the Panthers to a respect-able 6-8-1 record.

As a sophomore, Sells was even more le-thal, leading the team in goals (18) and as-sists (14). Her impact reverberated through-out the squad as the Panthers finished with a 10-5-1 record and their first post-season appearance in more than a decade.

Sells didn’t let up her junior season, lead-ing the team again in goals (15) and assists (9). She led the Panthers to a 9-7 record and another playoff appearance.

“It’s fun to score and have success in-dividually, but it’s a better feeling knowing our team is having success,” said Sells, who maintains a 4.0 GPA. “Our goal this season is to win our league. We want a better seed for the playoffs.”

Sells, who plays club ball for Pride Copa, has been center midfielder the major-ity of her high school career. Pappadakis is

switching her to forward this season in an effort to better utilize her talents.

“I praise Jenny for not being the type of player that wants to rule the roost,” Pap-padakis said. “She the ultimate team player and you can see that in the way her team-mates respond. She gets better quality out of the other players because of her ability to be a team player and not just try to do everything on her own.”

As skilled and as dominant as Sells is, she wouldn’t have achieved her success without a great cast of teammates. Fellow senior Morghan Sieracki has also started on varsity since her freshman year, scoring a combined 30 goals and 17 assists from the center midfielder position.

Sieracki and Caitlan Thorne are the primary center midfielders on this year’s squad. Their main job is to get Sells the ball in a position to score, or take advantage of the defense for when it tries to double and triple team Sells.

“I think we have a better team than in past years,” Sells said. “The key will be work-ing together and becoming a solid team.”

Sells has already signed with Hastings (Nebraska) College, an NAIA school. Her brother, Jake, is a midfielder at Concordia (Nebraska) College.

Hastings has one of the best NAIA pro-grams in the nation. It finished 16th in the country last season and advanced to the NAIA round of 16. Hastings has finished in the top 25 four of the last five seasons.

“I am very excited,” said Sells, who was a two-year starting point guard for the Wood-land Park basketball team. “It’s a smaller campus community and I think I will like it there a lot.”

Pappadakis believes Sells can play at any college level she desires.

“There’s no reason why Jenny can’t play at any level,” he said. “People will find out the truth about her size, but she’ll make up for that with her skill level.”

Baseball team loses a pair at Fort Morgan Panthers shutout by Fort Morgan, 3-0, and Brush, 14-0 By Danny Summers [email protected]

With no scrimmages or outside practices under their belts, the Woodland Park High School baseball team took a three-and-a-half hour road trip to Fort Morgan on March 7 to play their season opening games.

The Panthers were competitive in a 1 p.m. start against Fort Morgan, losing 3-0. Senior right-hander Anthony Woods looked sharp for the Panthers, allowing one run over four innings while striking fi ve.

The Panthers managed seven hits - as did Fort Morgan - but were unable to come up with the clutch hit at the right time.

In the second game against Brush, Pan-thers pitchers allowed four runs without a hit in the fi rst inning. They lost 14-0 in the shortened fi ve-inning game due to the 10-run rule.

“In the fi rst game we played beyond our expectations,” said Woodland Park coach Cliff Richardson. “Our pitching struggled at the beginning of the second game and we were never in it. You can’t defend walks.”

In an effort to be better prepared, Rich-ardson and company departed Woodland Park in their team vans early in the morn-ing so that they could squeeze in an hour of outside practice before the Fort Morgan game.

“We’ve got a book full of excuses we can use for the reason why we played today, but we’re not going to use any of them,” the coach said. “We just didn’t play well.

“This was sort of like our scrimmage, but it was for real.”

Woodland Park senior left-hander Dako-ta Herman was cleared by doctors to throw after rehabbing a broken ankle that he suf-fered last October. He pitched one inning against Fort Morgan. He loaded the bases, but got out of the jam without allowing any runs.

The Panthers don’t have a whole lot of

time to regroup. They open their Class 4A Metro League schedule at Canon City (no record) on March 14 with a doubleheader. That is followed with a home non-league game against Manitou Springs on March

16, and home-and-home league games at Harrison (March 17) and at Meadow Wood Park on March 19.

Richardson and his crew will spend the early part of this week trying to get the snow

off Panther Field and getting the facility in shape for baseball.

“Hopefully we can get outside and prac-tice on Tuesday or Wednesday,” Richardson said.

Woodland Park senior left-hander Dakota Herman is expected to the ace of the Panthers’ sta� this season. Herman missed the basketball season after su� ering a serious compound ankle fracture during the football season. Courtesy photo

SALOME’S STARSFOR THE WEEK OF FEB. 23, 2015

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Change is still dominant for Rams and Ewes, both in the workplace and their private lives. This is also a good time to look at a pos-sible relocation if that has been one of your goals.

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Doing things for others is what you do well. But don’t forget that Bovines thrive on the arts, so make some time for yourself to indulge your passion for music and artistic expressions.

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) While the Romantic Twin considers where to go for his or her upcoming vaca-tion, the Practical Twin will start making travel plans now to take advantage of some great bargains.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Your sensitive nature helps you deal with a difficult emotional situation. Be patient and continue to show your sincere support wherever (and for whomever) it is needed.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) You’re making progress as you move through some unfamiliar territory. And while there might be a misstep or two along the way, overall you’re heading in the right direction. Good luck.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Some good news arrives -- and just in time to remind you that you’re making progress. Perhaps things aren’t moving as quickly as you’d prefer, but they’re moving nevertheless.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) This is a good week to step back and assess the facts that have recently emerged to see where they can be used to your ad-vantage. Also, don’t hesitate to make changes where necessary.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) You should begin to experience some support from those who now agree with your point of view. This should help counter the remaining objections from die-hard skeptics.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Don’t let your aim be deflected by trivial matters as you try to resolve a confusing situation. Take time to find and thoroughly assess the facts before making any decision.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) The possibility of moving to another location has come up. But before you dismiss it as unworkable, it’s worth checking out just in case it does have some merit after all.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) New relationships -- personal or work-related -- show mixed signals. Best to assume nothing. Let things play themselves out until you have something substantive to work with.

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Your ability to make needed changes without causing too much, if any, negative ripple effect comes in handy when dealing with a sensitive matter either on the job or in the family.

BORN THIS WEEK: Although you like things to go smoothly, you’re not shy about making waves when you believe the situation calls for it.
