Mitigation is working Closures still in the picture on U.S. 24
By Pat Hill phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com Rocks, floods, rain, hail, snow, cascades of water, Ute Pass is filled with potential danger. “Mitigation has not eliminated the risk,” said R.C. Smith, El Paso County Recovery Manager. “We’re going to be dealing with this for the next 5 to 8 years; it takes the forest that long to regenerate to hold the water.” Smith was one of several officials speaking to more than 100 Ute Pass residents May 12 at the elementary school in Chipita Park. “Once the burn scar materialized we dedicated one forecaster to look at the radar just for the burn scar,” said Tom Magnuson, with the National Weather Service. “Our goal is to provide minutes of lead time - that’s all you’re going to get.” On a gloomy note, Magnuson predicted above-average rainfall for June, July and August. “It could be a rough summer,” he said.
Since the fire of 2012, whose cause has never been determined, the Waldo Canyon Recovery Group meets once a month. “We get updates from all of the partners,” said El Paso County Commissioner Sallie Clark, who moderated the meeting. “We’ve probably spent $50 million on U.S. 24, with all the different resources.”
Ken Quintana, Colorado Department of Transportation
As of May 1, CDOT is monitoring the rain gauges on U.S. 24. “As soon as the gauges hit a one-inch accumulation in a five-day period, that will enact our monitors,” Quintana said. A flash-flood warning, however, triggers the monitors, even without the oneinch reading, he added. CDOT will not close the highway unless sediment or debris threatens to block traffic, Quintana said. The good news is that mitigation is working, he said. Granted, CDOT closed the highway for a short period of time during the three-day storm in May but that was due to hail. “We got a little over 4 inches of rain and didn’t have any issues,” he said.

s the new coordinator for the Main Street program, Darlene Jensen is bursting with ideas to enhance the city of Woodland Park. Hired by the Main Street board, whose members secured the designation, Jensen is writing grants and hatching plans. “City Above the Clouds is our slogan but give us a theme to wrap our hands around so when people drive through town they go, ‘I want to be part of this,’” she said, adding that the theme could be Western or one that capitalizes on the history of the Midland Railroad, for instance. To highlight the city’s offerings, Jensen envisions effective signage and a set of kiosks around downtown, particularly in Woodland Station. Raring to get started, Jensen is ready for the next step. “I’ll be going out to businesses, asking their opinions and reporting to the board and the various committees,” she said. “There are so many impassioned people here, all bringing their desire to be here to the table.” To address the gaps in retail, the empty buildings downtown and closure rate of new businesses, Jensen plans discussions about what needs to happen for businesses to flourish. “In other words, is there a better location and is the time right for that type of business, so it’s not just hit or miss.” The costs of closures impact the community, she said. “The goal is to help the landlords and investors define the best retail tenant, there’s no question about that,” she added. “To have a vacant building downtown is an absolute negative.” Along with the board, Jensen envisions the discussions as a collaboration of the chamber and the city’s economic development office. “I’d love to see young business investors because they have young families,” she said. “With the aquatic center, that’s a catalyst for the expansion of not just Woodland Station but for our city.”

What is Main Street?
Who is Darlene Jensen?
The Main Street Program is made up of volunteers on four committees: • Organization: handles development of bylaws. • Economic restructuring: includes efforts to revitalize the retail sector downtown • Promotion: education and collaboration with other entities. To begin the education piece, the board distributes the brochure, “Shop Dine & Unwind,” which features shops, restaurants and activities. “But I don’t want to limit Main Street support strictly in retail but include medical services, realtors, businesses that have established themselves in downtown,” Jensen said. “We’ve discussed featuring a business in our monthly newsletter.” • Design and historic preservation: “My job is to bring in resources to the program - I’m currently working on a mini-grant application to the Department of Local Affairs,” she said, referring to the Colorado division that administers the program. If successful, the grant would be used to support the historic mural, a project of the Woodland Park Arts Alliance, and the aquatic center. Both projects align with the goals of the Main Street program, to expand jobs and preserve history.
Jensen graduated from DePauw University in Indiana with a degree in the areas of economics/business and environmental science. After graduating, she went on to legal studies at Denver Career College with a focus on legal research and legal writing. After receiving a position with the County of DuPage in the Chicago region (comprised of 750,000 residents), she worked in the public works and zoning departments, and assisted the state attorney’s office in contract development and management and ordinance modifications. She then returned to Colorado “so my children would have the opportunity to grow up in the Pikes Peak Region,” she said. “I was fortunate to work with El Pomar Foundation in support of the work of El Pomar’s Legal Counsel and Director of Operations.” Along the way, Jensen served was the director of Colorado Association of Conservation Districts, executive director of the Catamount Institute and volunteered with the nonprofit Green Cities Coalition.

Students collect prizes for entries Young artist display their talents By Pat Hill
phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com Fifty student artists showed their works last month at the Woodland Park library in a show sponsored by the Mountain Artists. The exhibit was the 20th for the nonprofit organization which promotes art education for the area’s young people. The winner in each category, oil, acrylic, drawing, mixed media and watercolor, received recognition and $1,500. The judge, Pamela McCreight, teaches art at Bemis School of Art at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center. In addition to judging, McCreight talked to each winner about their art. Mountain Artists hosts one of the most popular events in Woodland Park, the outdoor art show on the first weekend in August on the green at the Ute Pass Cultural Center.
Winners in various categories in the Mountain Arts student art show last month: front row, left to right, Erin Babinski, Teagan Couch, Grace Medran, Jared Brady and Marisol Gonzales; back row, left to right, Pamela McCreight, the judge; Madison Kleppe; Kayla Liller, who won Best of Show; Caleb Yarger; Sophie Rossi and Mackenzie Burgess.

WP planning considers two requests Also takes another look at city alternate-route traffic survey By Norma Engelberg
phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Woodland Park Planning Commission had only two cases on its May 14 meeting agenda. The first was a request to extend the Top of Paradise master plan for another five years. The second was a request for a minor subdivision at the Teller County Waste property on West Road (CR 231), owned by Jay Baker. Commissioners also discussed issues raised by an on-going alternate route traffic survey in the city. “It doesn’t sound good,” said Commissioner Jerry Penland. “We’re looking at about $10 billion worth of (local-area infrastructure) costs and the state has set aside only about $2 billion. Also we have almost no control over what happens on U.S. 24.”
Top of Paradise has three owners
In 2005, developer Will Brown received approval to build 175 homes in his 198.5acre Top of Paradise subdivision, although by code he could build as many as 190 homes. His daughter Andrea Rodriquez and investment partner Kenneth Bauer requested a five-year extension to the master plan for their combined 139 acres. Planning Director Sally Riley said the city requires a master plan when only part of a subdivision receives both a preliminary and final plat. The master plan allows the city to make sure development on the remaining lots keeps up with new code requirements. Park State Bank’s 58 previously platted lots are not part of this action. The commission recommended approval and council will hear the case on May 21.
Teller County Waste on track
Last November, when city council approved Baker’s conditional use permit, special use permit and site plan, it included several conditions. One of these required Baker to combine the property’s five parcels into a single lot before seeking
Traffic study taskforce looks at options
Five parcels that make up the Teller County Waste property, owned by Jay Baker, need to be combined into a single lot as a condition of permits the Woodland Park City Council approved in November 2014. Photo by Norma Engelberg permits to remodel buildings and make other improvements. Riley said Baker’s request for this minor subdivision fulfills that condition and shows that he is on track to complete the work on the site, which includes a recycling collection center, an equipment and vehicle repair facility and an office building. This case goes before council on June 4.
Commission Chair Jon DeVaux said the city’s traffic has some positive points even though, as Penland pointed out, the news isn’t all good. For example, Pikes Peak Area Council of Governments has offered technology that can track individual vehicles through town in real-time, making it easier to spot congestion and other traffic issues. The Colorado Department of Transportation has also made changes at most of the city’s traffic lights to help prevent red-light running and there will be other changes in the near future. Unfortunately there will be no lowering of the speed limit through downtown. Riley said the traffic study taskforce will be working with consultants to set priorities and a public community meeting is planned for September. There are things the city can do about traffic even without state funding, she said. There will not be a planning commission meeting on May 28 but there could be a meeting on June 11.

Turley formally sentenced By Pat Hill
phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com Former Woodland Park Mayor Dave Turley has four years to complete the conditions of his deferred sentence. In February, Turley pled guilty to criminal attempt to commit sexual assault on a minor by one in a position of trust. In a formal hearing May 11, 4th Judicial District Court Judge Theresa Cisneros laid out the conditions of Turley’s sentence: • Participate in Sex Offender Intensive Supervised Probation until further order of the court • Abide by all terms and conditions for adult sex offenders • Have no unsupervised access to computers • Enroll in offense-specific treatment and cooperate with all conditions of treatment • Register as a sex offender • Have no contact with anyone under the age of 18 without prior approval of the probation officer • Pay all standard court costs: sexoffender surcharge, $750; special advocate surcharge, $1,000; substance-abuse assessment, $75 ( Turley’s attorney, Cynthia McKedy, told the judge that Turley has a prescription for hydrocodone); Crimes Against Children, $375. • Report to probation officer no later than May 12. “Do you have any questions?” Cisneros said, to which Turley replied, “No, ma’am.” “Good luck, Mr, Turley,” Cisneros said. Before imposing the conditions Cisneros laid out the rules. “I don’t know if you are prepared for how intense the treatment is going to be; they’ll give you some opportunity to get you out of the denial stage and into a stage where you can be successfully treated,” she said. “Whether or not you get to that stage will be entirely up to you.” Cisneros continued. “If you don’t suc-

to accept responsibility and he needs to continue to accept responsibility through his treatment,” the attorney said. “If this defendant does not abide by these rules, the deferred sentence will be revoked and prison is an option.” At one point in the hearing, Cisneros asked Turley if he had a comment. Information about the conditions of his sen-
tence had been provided to his probation officer, Turley said. “Obviously, sure wish I weren’t here but I am here, so I’m going with it,” he said. “I look to move forward.” Cisneros set Turley next court date to 9 a.m. May 13, 2019.

Despite rain, grapple, a little snow and some sleet, more than 100 runners showed up to run the 20th annual Pony Run at Ute Pass Elementary School. Even the little ones
were undaunted by the weather conditions on the morning of May 9. The run is a fundraiser for the school; this year’s funds will help build the trail around the perimeter of the playground, which has been rebuilt after being destroyed by flood in the summer of 2013.

Early dude ranch fantastic, but almost forgotten
Dude, I want to be a cowboy. Perhaps more than almost any other fantasy (if you disregard some of my racier ones) as Willie Nelson said, “I grew up dreaming of being a cowboy, and loving the cowboy ways.” It has always been simmering in the background. Growing up in the West, that is probably no surprise. But obviously, I am not alone. “A famous early dude was Theodore Roosevelt. After World War I the popularity of dude ranches increased enormously and during the 20s and 30s they were the main tourist attraction in the Rocky Mountain area. Writers like Owen Wister, Zane Grey and Mary O’Hara and painters like Remington and Russell brought the fabulous romance of cowboy life on an open frontier to millions throughout the world. Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show was an unprecedented success in Europe and the East,” according to Bayard Fox, who established “The Bitteroot” ranch in Wyoming in 1972. “Perhaps no other era in recent times has provided such picturesque color unless it is the East Africa of Isak Dinesen (Out of Africa), Beryl Markham (West with the Night) and Earnest Hemingway during much the same period. Two people who saw both cultures and wrote about them were Hemingway and Theodore Roosevelt though Roosevelt especially concentrated heavily on the hunting aspects of his long trip to Kenya.” From The Dude Ranchers’ Association based in Cody, Wyoming: “Dude ranching did not begin at a defined time. It evolved slowly from several divergent sources in different locales. The first organizational gathering of these independent- minded pioneers occurred in Bozeman, Montana in September of 1926 at the urging of the Northern Pacific Railroad. The rail road, looking for an additional source of revenue and a means to combat the new method of travel, the automobile, saw the dude ranches of the area as natural partners in the burgeoning
tourism industry of the West. This meeting of ranchers from the Yellowstone area led to the formation of The Dude Ranchers’ Association,” according to the organization’s website. “The Association’s original membership of thirty-five ranches from the Yellowstone area has now grown to 100-plus member ranches in 12 western states and two Canadian provinces. In spite of this growth, the Association today remains dedicated to preserving the beauty, Rob Carrigan natural resources, and the original western RESTLESS ranch experiences that NATIVE attracted the first visitors.” Within this framework, the association regulates standards, and promotes dude ranch vacations. The Dude Ranchers’ Association is a diverse group, composed of cattle ranches who accept paying guests and mountain top lodges that offer a ranch atmosphere. “The formation of lasting bonds and memories still brings families back to ranches generation after generation. This is truly a living testimony to the timelessness of the values and standards of the original dude ranchers. Today, as it did over a century ago, the western dude ranch experience offers relief for both the body and spirit of those seeking refuge from the pressures and routine of modern life.” So while recently sifting through old photos in Denver Public Library’s historic archive, I was fascinated by shots of Skelton Ranch early in the last century. Erik Swab, a former computer programmer turned historical researcher, apparently had a similar experience. Although Swab was first directed to the early ranch in Teller County by
the United States Forest Service, his research for them, and his interest in hiking in the Pikes Peak area, according to a March story by Dave Phillips in the Colorado Springs Gazette. “When I first started asking about this place, there were so many rumors: It was a Japanese internment camp or a brothel or other things,” he is quoted in Phillips story. In fact, he said, it was a dude ranch — one of the first in the state. It was many things over the years, including a resort that courted the moneyed class, and a place where locals attended community dances and suppers, according to the account. The Skelton Mountain Ranch apparently operated from 1905 to 1916 and was situated three and half miles west of Woodland Park, with 400 acres there, and an additional 1,140 acres near Divide, according to Swab’s research. “William Skelton was born in Kentucky in 1864 and married Lizzie Butler in 1885. They moved to Denver in 1898, where Skelton was a member of a law firm and briefly held the position of Judge. The couple left Denver in 1906 to reside in Woodland Park at the ranch,” writes David Martinek in Pikes Peak Country, citing Swab’s research. “The resort ranch was famous. It had 30 log guest cabins, a 10-room house and log dining house, a large three-level barn, and a 104foot long chicken house and an assembly hall with a large stone chimney. The promotional literature claimed that each cabin had indoor plumbing, but the reality was that there were surely several outdoor privies, instead. The ranch could accommodate up to 250 people at $15/week. And they only accepted “refined people as guests,’” writes Martinek. According to Swab’s research, a fire in 1908 destroyed several buildings and may have cut short its life as a dude ranch. It was sold to a St. Louis shoe company executive named F.A. Sudholts, in 1916, and was to focus mostly on raising stock, but was largely vacant after that until the 1940s.
Lindbergh, Earhart and the wonder of flight He was a national hero who later had to endure the horrible pain of losing a child at the hands of a murderer. She was also a national hero who likely died a tragic death at the height or her popularity. The two will forever be linked by their braveness to achieve the impossible. In the world of aviation, May 20 is synonymous with two very important groundbreaking events. It was on May 20, 1927, when Charles Lindbergh, a 25-year-old aviator, took off at 7:52 a.m. from Roosevelt Field, Long Island, in the Spirit of St. Louis attempting to win a $25,000 prize for the first solo nonstop flight between New York City and Paris. Thirty-three hours later, after a 3,600 mile journey, he landed at Le Bourget, Paris, earning the nickname “Lucky Lindy” and becoming an instant worldwide hero. Coincidentally, on May 20, 1932, Amelia Earhart became the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic. She departed Newfoundland, Canada, at 7 p.m. and landed near Londonderry, Ireland, completing a 2,026-mile flight in about 13 hours. Earhart wasn’t so fortunate five years later when, along with her navigator Fred Noonan, she disappeared while trying to fly her twin-engine plane around the equator. To this day the wreckage of her plane has never officially been recovered. She was just 39 years old. A little more than two months (March 1, 1932) before Earhart made her recordflight, Lindbergh’s 20-month-old son, Charles Augustus Lindbergh, III, was abducted by an intruder from his crib in the second-story nursery of his family’s rural home in East Amwell, New Jersey, near the town of Hopewell. The child’s remains were
found by chance by a passing truck driver six weeks later on May 12 in roadside woodlands near Mount Rose, New Jersey. The abduction and murder of Lindbergh’s son by Bruno Richard Hauptmann, a 34-year-old Danny Summers German immigrant BEYOND carpenter, who was MAIN STREET arrested near his home in the Bronx, New York, on Sept. 19, 1934, became known as the “Crime of the Century.” Interestingly, Hauptmann was identified by the license plate number of his automobile, which a gas station attendant had written on the bill after receiving it from him in payment for services.) A stash of cash containing $13,760 of the ransom money he received six months earlier was subsequently found hidden in his garage. Hauptmann was charged with kidnapping, extortion, and first-degree murder, Hauptmann went on trial in what was reported as a “circus-like” atmosphere in Flemington New Jersey on Jan. 2, 1935. Six weeks later, he was convicted on all counts when, following 11 hours of deliberation, the jury delivered its verdict late on the night of Feb. 13, after which trial judge Thomas Trenchard immediately sentenced Hauptmann to death. Hauptmann was executed April 3, 1936 at Trenton State Prison. Lindbergh became somewhat of a recluse after the trial. An intensely private
man, he had a self-imposed exile in Europe from 1936 to 1939. He died Aug. 26, 1974, on the island of Maui, Hawaii. He spent his final years on the island leading up to his death. Much of Lindbergh’s life is shrouded in mystery. He was thought to be a Nazi sympathizer and actually fathered several children outside of his marriage. Lindbergh elucidated his beliefs about the white race in an article he published in Reader’s Digest in 1939, stating “We can have peace and security only so long as we band together to preserve that most priceless possession, our inheritance of European blood, only so long as we guard ourselves against attack by foreign armies and dilution by foreign race.” Experts believe that Earhart likely disappeared over the central Pacific Ocean near Howland Island. Fascination with her life, career and disappearance continues to this day. Among the many myths, legends and claims about Earhart’s disappearance include her spying on the Japanese during World War II, dying at the hands of the Japanese, was one of the many “Tokyo Rose” radio voices during World War II, and even moved to New Jersey and changed her identity. Like Lindbergh, Earhart was a widely known international celebrity during her lifetime. Her disappearance only led to her fame in popular culture. The kidnapping and murder of Lindbergh’s son also led to his fame and legacy. How odd that two aviation pioneers are often remembered more for tragic events rather than celebrated for their amazing accomplishments.

May 20, 2015
Trying to find the ‘Flow’ On January 25, 1987, the New York Giants met the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XXI. In the biggest game of his life, Phil Simms, the Giant’s quarterback, completed 22 of 25 passes with 2 of his 3 incompletions dropped by his receivers. With Simms in “the zone,” the Giants spanked the Broncos 39 to 20. There may not be a better example in sports for what psychology professor Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, director of the Quality of Life Research Center at Claremont Graduate University in California, calls “flow.” Csikszentmihalyi says, “Flow is the experience people have when they are completely immersed in an activity for its own sake, stretching body and mind to the limit in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult and worthwhile.” In his best-selling book “Finding Flow: The Psychology of Engagement with Everyday Life,” Csikszentmihalyi tells the story of a woman with severe schizophrenia, who had been hospitalized for 10 years in the Netherlands without improvement.
The woman’s medical team arranged for her to participate in Csikszentmihalyi’s flow-monitoring program. A timer went off throughout the day, signaling her to complete a minisurvey on her emotions, thoughts and level of engagement. The study showed that her only positive moods occurred while she was manicuring her fingerCord Prettyman nails, so the medical team arranged for FIT AND her to be trained as a HEALTHY manicurist. She began offering manicures to other patients and soon was mentally stable enough to be discharged. A year later she was leading a self-sufficient life as a manicurist.
The concept of flow originated with Martin Seligman, author of the book “Authentic Happiness,” which introduced the concept of positive psychology to the world. Csikszentmihalyi was a member of the team that worked with Seligman in defining what determines happiness and satisfaction in one’s life. Csikszentmihalyi portrays flow as a “channel” representing an optimal balance between one’s perceived abilities and the perceived challenge of the task at hand. When optimal balance is present, there is neither boredom in the form of too much skill for the challenge nor anxiety from too much challenge for the skill. This balance enables a person to be fully engaged in an experience for its own sake or to be in “the zone.” The characteristics of flow include clear goals, decisiveness, the merging of action and awareness, complete concentration, loss of self-consciousness, an altered sense of time, immediate feedback and an experience where one is focused solely on
the activity itself. Extensive research shows that increasing flow experiences in our life results in increased satisfaction, better quality of life, more positive emotions and higher self-esteem. The importance of finding flow in one’s life rests in studies demonstrating that life satisfaction and happiness correlates with better health and improved longevity. Researchers contend that happy people are more likely to engage in healthy behavior and get sick less. Used paperbacks of “Finding Flow: The Psychology of Engagement with Everyday Life” are available on amazon.com for as little as $2.83. Seems like a pittance to pay for a Phil Simms-like Super Bowl experience.

All excited about garbage It makes the city pretty, helps community and the world By Pat Hill
phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com
W
hile picking up trash may not sound all that great, especially to a kid, but students at Cresson Elementary School in Cripple Creek got all excited last week about garbage, icky stuff, in the streets. “It makes our city pretty,” said a first-grader whose group was on Carr Street. “It helps our community and helps the world.” Another youngster had another view. “Trash gets into animals’ bodies and make them sick,” he said. “They could die.” The students were part of a team that included employees of the city as well as the Park and Recreation Department. “At Cresson, the kids are learning that it’s important to give back to the community,” said Miriam Mondragon, the principal “The city helped us pick the safest spots.” Mondragon credits city employee, Deb Hack, for organizing the cleanup campaign May 14.

Rabaut knows his airports Woodland Park resident dedicated to Eliminate program By Pat Hill
phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com Over rickety and pitted roads in Third World countries, where a health clinic can be miles away, Mark Rabaut of Woodland Park travels in risky conditions to manage projects for Kiwanis International Foundation. President-elect of the foundation, Rabaut is dedicated to delivering vaccines as part of the Kiwanis Eliminate Neonatal Tetanus Program. “We’re vaccinating pregnant women from 14 to 49 for tetanus,” he said. For Rabaut, sacrifice is relative, the inconvenience, the temporary deprivations, when it comes to saving lives. In the often-unclean birthing process in Third World countries, tetanus spores kill about one-third of mothers and all of the babies, Rabaut said “It’s a very painful death; the baby usually dies in 7 to 8 days; they’re very sensitive to light, touch and noise,” he said. In most cases, the vaccinations are
given by the medical staff in schools or health clinics. “Pregnant women from outlying villages walk for a day to get the vaccination,” Rabaut said. Fresh in his mind is a trip to Kenya, where he and six Kiwanis volunteers, along with staff from UNICEF (United Nations Children’s Fund) brought the vaccine to a village. “We were in Land Rovers, great vehicles, but you could still only travel about 10 kilometers an hour; the infrastructure, the roads are just so terrible, we got stuck several times,” he said. “You need something like a backhoe to pull you out.” Rabaut is liable to turn up anywhere. “There was one village in Kenya where the tribal chief said we were the first white people to ever visit,” he said. “The village was in the woods - how the UNICEF drivers ever found it I have no idea.” Observer of human nature, Rabaut is struck by the character of people who live in African villages, often in huts made of cow dung, straw and mud. “It’s amazing how little they have but all the kids seem to me to be happy, with virtually nothing - they’re dancing, singing, having a good time,” he said. To date, tetanus has been eliminated, due to the Kiwanis program, in 39 countries with 23 left to do. For nine years he traveled for Kiwanis to Jamaica, to manage a team building orphanages near Montego Bay. “I would

Mark Rabaut of Woodland Park travels all over the world to help women be vaccinated for neonatal tetanus, part of the Kiwanis International Eliminate Program. Rabaut, who owns the Country Lodge, is president-elect of Kiwanis International Foundation. Photo by Pat Hill hire a dozen Jamaicans; we were building an orphanage that would house 18 severely-handicapped orphans and three caregivers,” he said. Rabaut, who owns the Country Lodge
in Woodland Park, is energized by the travel. “It’s all good, a lot of fun. You meet the best of the best,” he said. “There are some great people doing service for others.”
LONGTIME MEMBER OF KIWANIS President-elect of Kiwanis International Foundation, Mark Rabaut has been with the organization since 1986. He was the Michigan District Governor from 1999 to 2000, overseeing 229 clubs which had 9,000 members. From 2003 to 2006 he was on the Kiwanis International Board. The traveling began when he chaired the committee
p h g m S s t t
dedicated to increasing the number of Kiwanis clubs, from 1999 to 2001. “I was building clubs around the United States,” he said. “They say the main reason somebody belongs to a service club is the day of the week it meets, the time and the location.” For the past five years, he’s been a member of the foundation board. Last month he was one of a 100 Ki-
wanians invited to the White House as part of a program on Leadership and Service In early May he talked about the foundation in a forum at UNICEF in New York City. “Thursday, I head to Indianapolis, world headquarters of Kiwanis,” he said.

Senior Highlights
Sam Hopfe – Valedictorian Sam Hopfe moved to Woodland Park when he was in 2nd grade and is the WPHS Class of 2015’s Valedictorian, which means he has the highest GPA in his class. “However, GPA doesn’t always reflect total knowledge,” he explains. In writing his graduation speech, Sam plans to include “both memories of the past and positive outlooks on the future.” While in high school, Sam was active in Cross Country, Soccer, Basketball, Track, National Honors Society, Beta Club, and Peer Tutoring. “My favorite class was physics with Dr. Boyer my junior year because we were taught a lot every day and Dr. Boyer made learning fun for me,” he said. Sam plans to continue working at Rainbow Twist Frozen Yogurt and enjoy time with his family and friends over the summer before attending California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo in the fall. He has received a Cal Poly scholarship and is waiting to hear about other possible scholarships. Some of Sam’s favorite memories was playing sports with his senior brother when he was a freshman and now trying to be a good role model for his sister who is a freshman this year. “I am excited to graduate,” Sam says. “I’m sad that I am leaving the school and all my friends, but I look forward to adapting to a new environment and getting the opportunity to meet new people.” Dakota Herman – Salutatorian Dakota Herman, who has attended Woodland Park schools since 8th grade is this year’s valedictorian. “I worked hard to maintain the second highest GPA in my class. It is an honor,” he says. He will also give a speech at Graduation. “I plan to encourage my fellow classmates about the opportunities that lie ahead of us in our future.” During his years at WPHS, Dakota was an active participant in: soccer, football, basketball, baseball, student council, National Honors Society, Beta Club, Boys State, Best Buddies, and Teacher Cadet. “Some of my best memories at WPHS are when I was competing on the field, court or diamond alongside some of the best men,” he says. His favorite WPHS class was Mrs. Stone’s Creative Writing class because “it was fun and also a challenging class that allowed me to express my thoughts and ideas in an imaginative and original way.” Dakota will be playing club baseball with the Colorado Travelers this summer before attending school (still undecided) to major in biomedical engineering. He has received many scholarships from schools he applied to as well as other local, state, and national scholarships. “I can’t wait to graduate!” Dakota says. “I’m excited to move out and experience the world on my own. I want to see what the future holds for me.” Ellie Miller Ellie Miller, a life-long Woodland Park student, has been very involved while in high school: publicist for national Honors Society; member of Beta Club and Thespians Society for three years; a member of student council for four years, and most recently the senior class president. She also participated in mentoring middle school students and high school freshmen. “All of my favorite memories are centered around my close-knit group of friends,” Ellie said. “I have been lucky enough to have the same group of friends since elementary school and it has been fun watching all of us grow into different individuals.” Her favorite class was AP American History. “It is critical to understand our nation’s past, in order to make sure we have a successful future,” she says.

Courtesy photo Ellie will be attending Arizona State University majoring in public service and public policy with a concentration in law and policy. She has received the WP Greater Chamber of Commerce Annual Wagon Boss Scholarship and the New American University Scholar Deans Award. “It is bittersweet leaving the only place I have called home, but it’s extremely exciting to begin my future,” Ellie says. “I look at it as the first step to making a difference in the world.” Mackenzie Burgess Mackenzie Burgess has always attended Woodland Park School District and will be going to Colorado State University in the fall majoring in Food Science and Human Nutrition. She has received the Green & Gold Scholarship at CSU and the Young Entrepreneur Scholarship Award. Her favorite class at WPHS was Production Journalism/Yearbook. “I have made some of the best friends from this class and had the great privilege and honor of being in charge of producing the yearbooks,” she said. Mackenzie was not only involved in yearbook, but also student council, art club, National Honor Society, Key Club, Freshman mentoring, Beta Club, Peer Tutoring, and talent show. She is in the top 5% of her class, receiving 7 honors letters, 3 varsity track letters, and was the Drive Smart overall campaign winner. Mackenzie describes graduating from WPHS as bittersweet. “I am counting down the days until graduation and the senioritis is so real, but then I stop and realize that some of these memories will be my last,” she says. “My last prom; my last time seeing some of my high school friends; my last time being a part of all these activities; and it’s sad. But ultimately I am so excited for all that the future holds!” Delaney Dixon After 13 years in WPSD, one of Delaney’s favorite memories is all the friends she’s made. “During my time at Woodland Park schools, I’ve gotten to know many amazing people including my five best friends,” she says. “We met in elementary school and have grown up loving each other and hav-
ing fun together.” Delaney was involved in Cross Country; served as the manager of the girls’ basketball team; and was a member of the National Beta Club and National Honors Society throughout high school. “AP Environmental Science was my favorite class because we got the opportunity to learn about many pressing issues our world is facing today,” Delaney said. “Not only did we learn about many interesting topics but we got to see and understand them on a variety of field trips.” Delaney will be attending UCCS in the fall to major in nursing. She received a National Beta Club Scholarship and the Believe in You Award, which was presented by the principal to one senior. “When I think about graduating, I feel both excited and scared. Woodland Park has been my comfort zone for so long that moving is going to be very different,” she said. “Not only will it be a different place, but all new people as well.” Max Enger Max has been involved in Save our Society Club, Student Council, and National Honor Society while attending WPHS. His favorite memories are participating in cross country all four years and also serving on student council. A Woodland Park resident for seven years, his favorite class was AP Environmental Science. “I was able to learn about the earth and how society affects it and also how to make our everyday life easier on the environment,” Max said. “I also liked it because it correlates with my major, Physical Geography, with a minor in Climatology and Certificate in Geographic Information Systems.” After taking a summer trip to Zion National Park with his friends, Max will be attending University of Montana, Missoula. He received the Western Undergraduate Exchange for University of Montana scholarship and the Arizona Excellence for University of Montana scholarship. “I’ve very excited to move to a whole new place, yet sad to see all my friends go. I know they will all go far,” Max said. “It has been a great four years!”
Micaela Davidson Micaela Davison, who has attended Woodland Park schools her entire childhood, loved AP Literature but rates Music Theory as her favorite WPHS class. “It is extremely challenging, but Ms. Campbell encourages creativity and learning in a subject that is completely new to almost everyone in the class,” she says. “My mind is blown every day in that class, it’s really neat to understand the way music works and why.” While attending WPHS, Micaela has been involved in Forensics, Journalism (as editor of the school newspaper for two years), choir (this year in Madrigals), theater productions (recently Annie and Footloose), Bata Club, National Honors Society, and Panther Youth and Community Service. “This school provided me with so many wonderful opportunities to be with amazing kids and teachers that helped shape me into who I am now,” Micaela says. “I think the most impactful memories I have are of having long, meaningful conversations with my teachers and peers. I had the honor of having Mr. Courtier his last year and talking to him, as well as Mr, Leonard when he came in and subbed for Courtier my freshman year. The relationships I had with my teachers (including Mrs. Gus, Mrs. Campbell and Mr. Lev) and fellow peers have meant the world to me.” Micaela plans to attend Seattle Pacific University in the fall. She has received the presidential scholarship to SPU, the National Choral Award, along with other scholarships. “I look forward to moving to another state and embracing a whole new life style. But I’m also a little scared. I’m moving away, leaving high school behind me. I have known this town and these people my entire life, it can be a little bit daunting thinking about knowing absolutely no one,” Micaela says. “But at the same time I am excited to meet new people, to be forced to make new friends, and to take on new responsibilities. I’ll miss this beautiful town and all these wonderful people. I’m happy to know I will always have this home and community to come back to.”

A Look Back on the Class of 2015 Although the school year may seem to go quickly for many people, senior students accomplish so much during their last year in high school. The Woodland Park High School counselors; Mark Martin, Jennifer Johnston, and Mary Foster, say they are all very proud of the class of 2015. “We are so delighted with the diverse acceptance rate to a variety of colleges and universities in and out of Colorado,” Martin said. Some of the schools WPHS students have been accepted to include: Brigham Young University, ID; California Lutheran University; CSU; Ohio State University; Pepperdine University, CA; PPCC; Santa Clara University, CA; Santa Fe University of Art & Design; Seattle Pacific University; South Dakota School of Mines & Technology; University of Arizona; University of California, Davis; University of Colorado; University of Oregon; West Virginia University; the list goes on. In addition to college and university acceptance rates, several students will be attending vocational, art, and culinary schools. This year, multiple students have enlisted into various military branches as well while others are continuing with their journey in the workforce. WPHS counselors meet briefly every Monday in senior English classes to review scholarship opportunities: the meeting is referred to as MoneyMonday. “The class of 2015 currently has earned over $1.7 million dollars by hard work and dedication through their scholarship, exemplary essays, interviews, letters of recommendation, and persistence with the scholarship process,” Johnston said. Senior scholarship recipients, departmental awards, and the top 5 percent of the classes of 2018, 2017, 2016 and 2015 will be recognized at the Annual Academic Awards Presentation on Wednesday, May 20 at 6:30 p.m. in the Woodland Park High School Dickson Auditorium. A special thank you goes out to Joyce Rucker, Counseling Secretary/Registrar, for her hard work and organization with the class of 2015.

Football club hosting golf tourney Club hopes to raise $20,000 for new football uniforms By Danny Summers
dsummers@coloradocommunitymedia. com William Shakespeare once wrote that clothes make the man. Members of the Panther Football Club (PFC) feel the same. “At the end of the 2014 football season it came to our attention that the high school was in dire need of new uniforms for both the varsity and junior varsity teams,” said board member Kasha Cox. “We knew that we would have to do much more than a few bake sales to raise enough money to outfit both teams.” According to Cox, $20,000 is needed to outfit the teams with new home and away uniforms. The current uniforms are at least

nine years old. Unless a bake sale involves gold-filled cookies, the only way the PFC can raise enough money in a relatively short amount of time is through major donations and a golf tournament. On June 14, the PFC will host a golf tournament and fundraiser at Shining Mountain Golf Course. The cost is $55 per player and includes 18 holes, cart, dinner and golf bag. Hole sponsorships are $250 to $500. There are prizes for closest to the pin, pitching contests and for the first hole-in-one on the par 3 6th. If that is accomplished, Daniels Long Chevrolet of Colorado Springs will give away a new truck. “We are hoping to provide a pancake breakfast for our veterans at the staging of the Salute to American Veterans Rally & Festival at Woodland Park High School in August, and several bake sales and car washes,” Cox said. “The (football) players will be doing community service around town to show their appreciation for (everybody’s) help while also volunteering at all our fund-

raising events.” Cox added that players will be selling “Panther Cards” for discounts at local business in the community starting in July. The PFC will also be running concessions at the Rock, Gem and Mineral show in August. The PFC recently reached out to Cripple Creek and Victor Gold Mining Company for a donation. “We sincerely appreciate (their) time and consideration for any donations,” said Amy Ereon, Fundraising and Event Coordinator for PFC. “(Donations) are 100 percent tax deductible and are going for a great cause.” PFC is a non-school 501c3 that raises money for football only for the students that go to Woodland Park RE-2 school district. The club was formed in 2012 because local Park and Recreation was not able to fill rosters to have teams for third through eighth grades. The first year PFC took over the youth football in the town it had 75 kids sign up. “We’re preparing young teams to be

successful at the middle school and high school level,” said Cox, who has two sons playing on the high school team. The PFC future goals include raising money the high school and grade level teams. The goals for the high school program include a synthetic field in the stadium, more stadium stands, a visitor’s side press box, indoor practice facility, and endzone cameras. The goals for the grade level teams include small shoulder pads and helmets for undersize kids that want to play, coaches headsets and weights. Most of the club’s future goals are to help support other students that participate in extracurricular activities such as, band, soccer, track, and everyone else that uses the weight room.

Hayden Erickson captures gold in shot put on final throw
Woodland Park teammate Sam Hopfe took fourth place in 300 meter hurdles
By Danny Summers
dsummers@colorado communitymedia.com
The shot put was rusty silver as it left Hayden Erickson’s hand at Jefferson County Stadium in Lakewood on May 16. But when it landed in the dirt 52 feet, 3 inches later it was a bright gold. The final throw of Erickson’s high school career vaulted him from fourth place to first at the Class 4A state track and field championships and gave him the title he has sought for many years. “This feels great,” Erickson said. “I feel like I’ve accomplished everything I needed to accomplish. “All those days getting up early in the morning and then working out in the gym have paid off.” Erickson, a senior who stands 6-feet-5 and weighs 280 pounds, was the favorite to win the shot put title heading into last weekend’s meet. But after five throws he wondered if it was meant to be. He was about two feet back of the leader Beau Gordon of Pueblo Central. “I think I was just not focusing on what I really needed to do,” Erickson said. “Going into my last throw I focused on my form and what I really had to do to get it out there. It felt really good when it left my hand.” Erickson had the full support of several fans that made the trek to JeffCo Stadium to watch him compete. Included in the crowd were his parents, Chris and Annie, his siblings, his throws coach Brett Nelson, head Woodland Park track coach Ron Payton, Panthers’ athletic director Michael DeWall and several members of the school’s student body.

“Hayden just did what he needed to do,” said an emotional Payton. “It’s just so cool. It’s a great story.” Erickson is the first Woodland Park athlete to win a state track and field title since Allison Hawes won the 400 meters in 2004. Hawes owns Woodland Park records in the 100, 200 and 400. “Hayden worked hard to get to this point and it’s just a storybook ending,” Payton said. “He was struggling early today. He wasn’t relaxed. He was pressing. But he got it all together for that final throw.” Erickson also qualified for the state meet in the discus. He competed in that event on May 14, but finished 17th out of 18 with a toss of 123-9 - about 20 feet below his personal high this season. The winner was Canon City senior Austin Brandt 159-9. The only other Woodland Park athlete at the state meet was senior Sam Hopfe. The 6-3 Hopfe finished fourth in the 300 meter hurdles and took his place at the podium. “I had two (personal records) in two days, so that’s nice,” a happy Hopfe said. “I felt like I was strong the whole race. I don’t think I could have gone any faster.” Hopfe’s time of 39.29 seconds was less than a second and a half behind the winner, Trenton Stringari of Canon City. “The amazing thing with Sam is that he never ran hurdles until his junior year,” Payton said. “His first two years on the team he did the high jump and triple jump.” Hopfe also qualified for the state meet in the 110 high hurdles. But he finished 14th with a time of 16.04 in the prelims on May 14 and did not qualify for the finals. “I was focusing on my form too hard as opposed to speed,” Hopfe said. “Going into this meet I wasn’t running as well in the 110s as I was in the 300.” Hopfe’s parents, Rodney and Ami, watched their son compete in the 110’s, but they were not on hand to see Sam medal in

I-25/Cimarron project begins By Pat Hill phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com After two years of planning and talk about improvements on the I-25/Cimarron Interchange, the project begins in June. “We are ready to break ground; it will happen next month,” said Teller County Commissioner Norm Steen, in a report May 14. The good news, Steen added, is that the project will not affect traffic until March 2016. “It’s a $116.1 million project,” he said. “The grading starts in June next year - they’ll be rerouting traffic; it is a major upgrade.” When complete, there will be no left turns at the interchange which will be similar to the one at Woodmen. “Traffic will move in a kind of curved path over the top of the bridge; there will be major considerations for bicycle and foot traffic, integration to the Main Street project.” There won’t be any disruptions to the Teller County, at least for a year, Steen said. Steen represents the county on the board of Pikes Peak Area Council of Governments, which issued the report In other PPACG news, as it relates to Area Agency on Aging, a recent report indicates a 34 percent growth in the number of senior citizens age 75 and above in Teller County. “Ages 85 and above is the fastest growing segment - over 30 percent growth in the next 15 years,” Steen said. The increase will result in about 1,300 more senior citizens living in Teller County, Steen said. “That presents a real challenge

Knee Arthritis Pain: One HUGE Mistake And Two “Smart Moves”
Doctor’s Simple Advice Gets Rave Reviews By Patients Lucky Enough To Give It A Try By Matt Edgar America’s Health Writer
El Paso County - Have you been told that exercise will help your knee arthritis pain? Well... has it helped? If it hasn’t, one local doctor has a very good reason why. Not only that - he says if you are trying to exercise with knee arthritis - you might be making a HUGE mistake. Sounds crazy? Yes it does. In fact, I thought it was a ridiculous thing to say. That is until I talked to some of his patients who gave him rave reviews. Many said he completely changed their life. When they first came to the office, their knee arthritis pain was so bad they could barely walk and were scheduled for total knee replacement surgery. In a relatively short period of time, they cancelled surgery and are enjoying their lives again. Why is exercising a HUGE mistake and what does this doctor recommend that is helping so many knee arthritis sufferers who come to see them from all over the state? His name is Dr. Swanson MD. Dr. Swanson is a Medical doctor and head of arthritis treatment at Osteo Relief Institute in Colorado Springs, CO. Double Edged Sword Dr. Swanson says that exer-
cising with knee arthritis is a double edged sword. It is true, your knee joints need motion to be healthy. And lack of motion can be very detrimental. Without motion joints become “sick.” And in theory exercising should help knee arthritis. But here is the BIG problem: Knee arthritis is condition that dries up the lubricating fluids in your knee. It also changes the joint surface and creates bone spurs. Because of these changes - exercising on an arthritic knee can cause more swelling, more pain and more arthritic changes. Imagine driving your car without any oil. What happens? The engine parts scrape together and wear out. You can’t simply drive your car more and make it better. And in many cases - you simply can’t just exercise your knee and make it better, either. What’s the answer? In a car it’s simple - put in more oil. And then make sure the oil level is correct and it is changed when necessary. With your knee joints - it is a little more complicated. The major lubricating fluid in your knee joint is called synovial fluid. Synovial fluid is the fluid that “dries up” when you suffer with arthritis.
Making Knee Arthritis Pain Worse: Research has discovered that people are suffering with arthritis much younger than expected. Making the right treatment choices now can possibly stop the progression and eliminate the pain.
But there is good news: Now doctors can inject one of the building blocks of synovial fluid directly into your knee joint. This building block of synovial fluid is called hyaluronic acid. And when hyaluronic acid is injected directly into the knee joint, many experts believe it helps lubricate the joint. Some say it is like squirting oil on a rusty door hinge. This allowed the knee joint to glide more smoothly and often reduces or even eliminates pain.
And here is the most important part: Now that the joint is lubricated and can move with less or no pain - specific exercises can be a tremendous help. That’s why the doctors (when patients qualify) treat knee arthritis patients with hyaluronic acid injections FIRST and then prescribe a very specific rehabilitation and exercise program specially developed to help knee arthritis pain. This comprehensive knee arthritis pain program is called, “P.A.C.E.” and has been getting wonderful results. So what is the HUGE mistake? If you suffer with knee arthritis and are exercising and the pain is either not getting better - or getting worse - you may be making a mistake. You may actually be making things worse. And that’s the last thing you want to do. What are the two “smart moves?” If you have knee arthritis pain, look into viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid. In many cases treatment with hyaluronic acid followed by a specific rehabilitation or exercise program can get results when everything else has failed. In fact, it is not uncommon to get pain relieve just from the hyaluronic acid treatments alone - without doing any rehabilitation or exercising at all. And the results can be dramatic. If you are thinking about giv-
ing hyaluronic acid treatments a try - this is VERY IMPORTANT: In our opinion the doctor you choose should use advanced imaging technology such as fluoroscopy to guide the injections and make sure the hyaluronic acid goes where it is supposed to. Laser guided digital imaging is one of the best technologies to guide injections. Research shows that without fluoroscopy, doctors miss the joint space up to 30% of the time. Obviously, if the joint space is missed - the treatment cannot work. If you have already had viscosupplementaion without this advanced imaging technology and it did not work - you may want to give it another try with a doctor who uses this cutting edge technique to get the best results possible. So, if you suffer with knee arthritis pain, talk to a specialist about viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid especially if exercise is not working or making things worse. And make sure the doctor you choose works in a state-of-the-art medical facility and uses advanced fluoroscopic imaging (Like laser guided digital imaging) to guide the injections to make sure the treatments have the best chance to work. For more information on viscosupplementation for knee arthritis or to get a free screening to see if this treatment is right for you, one of the specialists at Osteo Relief Institute can be reached at 719323-6612.
Knee Pain Treatment Craze In Colorado Springs After thousands already helped knee pain suffers face 48 hour cut off to get risk free screening for incredibly popular treatment
(ORI) - The clock is ticking. There is only 48 hours to go. If you suffer with knee arthritis pain and would like to get a risk free knee pain screening to see if the experts at Osteo Relief Institute in Colorado Springs, CO can help you with their extremely popular knee pain relief program read this right now. Here is why: For the past several years, the experts at Osteo Relief Institute have been literally swarmed with knee arthritis sufferers looking for relief. Nearly all these knee pain sufferers chose Osteo Relief for one reason - their top-notch knee pain relief program featuring viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid and specially designed rehabilitation program. The Secret To Success? The experts at Osteo Relief Institute believe one of the biggest reasons for their success is the fact that they have some of the best technology money can buy. Laser Guided Digital Imaging The clinic uses extremely advanced imaging equipment that allows them to see directly into the knee joint that they are treating. This advanced imaging is called, “Laser Guided Digital Imaging” and many experts believe is the difference between success and failure with this knee pain treatment. And probably the best thing about this technology is that is has allowed the experts at Osteo Relief Institute to get results with knee pain when so many others have failed. What Is This Treatment? This treatment is viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid (HA). Those are big medical terms that basically means this... When you have knee arthritis - the lubricating fluid (synovial fluid) in your knee joint dries up. This means instead of gliding smoothly - your bones start to rub
and grind against each other. This causes a little pain in the beginning - but over time the pain steadily gets worse until it is excruciating. Hyaluronic acid works so well because it is like “joint oil.” It is a natural substance and is one of the natural building blocks of the synovial fluid that lubricates your knee. Scientists and researchers discovered this natural building block to synovial fluid in the rooster’s comb - that big red thing on top of the roosters head. It is extracted from the roosters comb, purified and concentrated. When it is injected directly into your knee joint, it is like squirting oil on a rusty door hinge. Hyaluronic acid allows your joints to glide more smoothly eliminating a lot of the rubbing, grinding and pain. Why You Should Try This Even If You’ve Already Had Similar Treatments Without results... “We have been able to help so many knee pain sufferers - even many who have already tried other injections like Synvisc, Supartz, Orthovisc and even Hyalgan. We use special and very advanced low-dose video fluoroscopy imaging called “Hologic Digital Imaging” so we can see right into the joint. This allows us to put the Hyaglan exactly where is needs to be. Studies show doctors doing joint injections without fluoroscopy miss the joint up to 30% of the time.” said the director of Arthritis Treatment at Osteo Relief Institute. Osteo Relief Institute is a state of the art medical facility offering only the best technology. And that’s not all - Osteo Relief Institute has a complete knee relief program called “P.A.C.E.” to make sure you get the most pain relief and the best possible results from treatment. “Every case is individual.
