Choices launches teen program By Pat Hill

Along with the expansion of Choices to 2,500 square feet, the nonprofit organization launches teen and fatherhood programs. “If dads come in for the ultrasound, they’ve seen the child and it makes a difference,” said Kathryn Sneckner, the executive director. “Suddenly their heart is bonded and, while most of them don’t have the skills to stay in the relationship, if they have someone walking beside them they can develop the skills.” The fatherhood program is another step in the organization’s crisis intervention in unplanned pregnancies. “Most of our clients are not still in the relationship with the mother by the time the child is born but the key is to keep the father engaged in the child’s life,” Sneckner said. “We even teach them the skills to treat the mother with respect, which just gives the child a much more stable start.” The fatherhood program is run by volunteers. “The fathers have an experienced dad meeting with them once a week who is available around the clock for questions and concerns,” Sneckner said. “We try to get the dads connected to the parenting program right away because that increases the bonding and even more so with the fatherhood program,” Sneckner said. The teen program, on the other hand, focuses on developing healthy relationships. “We want kids to think about future goals and
what choices they’re making today that either work toward those goals or could derail those goals,” Sneckner said. With a move-in date the week of Oct. 19, Choices features a baby boutique in pink and blue, separate rooms for consultations, ultrasounds and classes. “We have a two-fold goal, to impact teen pregnancy on the front end and also to improve the outcome for children born to young unprepared parents,” Sneckner said. A tour of the addition highlights the work of Choices and efforts to foster a sense of connection for teenagers who seek help. “We have wonderful clients and it’s so satisfying because we can see the progress they’re making in their lives,” Sneckner said. “A lot of these kids have never had healthy parenting modeled for them.” At $360,000 for the addition designed by David Langley Architects, Choices is down to the last 10 percent of fundraising. “The goal is to have absolutely no long-term carried debt. Park State Bank & Trust has given us temporary financing to cover pledges and grants, on a six-month basis,” Sneckner said. “Vectra Bank has donated thousands of dollars’ worth of furniture.” This weekend, Jayson Baker and Peak Internet sponsor a fundraiser for Choices. A Rocky Mountain Christmas Boutique is from noon to 7 p.m. Nov. 2 and from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Nov. 3 at the Ute Pass Cultural Center. The boutique features handmade gift items and gourmet food baskets.

A significant victory for Teller County, this year’s Limited Gaming Impact grants were right on. “We got full funding for everything we requested,” said Jim Ignatius, Teller County commission chair. In a squeaky time for balancing the county’s budget, the grants are spread around the county, with various agencies and organizations scooping up the extra funds: • Teller County jail, $450,000 • Teller County Sheriff’s office patrol division, $224,792 • 4th Judicial District Attorney’s office, $223,188 • Peak Vista Community Health, $56,000 • Prospect Home Care & Hospice, $60,000 • Court Appointed Special Advocate, $53,400 • Community of Caring, $190,250 • TESSA, $10,000 With $4.8 million in requests and only $3.5 million available from the Limited Gaming Impact Funds, Teller County scored in the 100-percent category. “We did very well,” Ignatius said. More than a mere crap shoot, Ignatius credits Teller County Sheriff Mike Ensminger for the county’s hitting the jackpot. “Mike did a presentation with visual handouts; it was an unbelievable presentation,” he said. “He did a knockdown drag-out presentation.”

Community stands with GMF police officer Woodland Park Fundraisers help defray medical costs of lifethreatening illness By Norma Engelberg
nengelberg@ourcoloradonews.com When Felix Torres suffered a severe and costly illness, community members rushed in to help. Help is coming from the Green Mountain Falls Police Department where the father of three has been an officer for the past year and a half; the city of Colorado Springs IT department, friends on the Colorado Springs Police and Fire departments; and from the Pikes Peak Young Marines where he is an executive officer. “About three months ago I went to the emergency room with stomach pain,” he said. “I was told I had diverticulitis and was sent home with antibiotics. I have had cancerous polyps removed from my colon before so I set up a follow-up appointment with a specialist.” Before he could keep that appointment, however, the pain returned with a vengeance. “That was the worst pain I have ever felt,” he said. “But I was acting police chief that night so I couldn’t just leave. I thought I was going to have to wait until morning but another officer came in earlier than I thought he would so I was able to go to the hospital that night.” When he arrived, hospital staff rushed some tests and three surgeons came in to talk to him. “That was scary,” Torres said. “They told me that the infection from the diverticulitis was spreading and that my bowels had exploded. I needed emergency surgery but it took four days before I was stabilized enough for them to do it.”
Officer Felix Torres, a member of the Green Mountain Falls Police Department, recently suffered a catastrophic illness that has brought members of several local communities together to raise funds to help with medical bills. Courtesy photo Later one of the surgeons told him that if he had waited until morning before coming in as he had planned he would probably not have survived, Torres said. The surgeons removed part of his bowel and he was sent home with an ileostomy in which the end of a loop of small intestine is connected through the abdominal wall to the outside, allowing waste to be collected into an ileostomy pouch or bag. “I had to use the ileostomy bag for a few weeks and then had a second surgery to put things back together,” Torres said. While all of this was happening bills mounted up. “I was a contractor for Colorado Springs and didn’t have health insurance,” he said. “And because of budget cuts, my hours at the police department were also cut so I didn’t have insurance
there either.” It was at this point that Torres discovered how many friends he has. “Even my daughter’s high school had a benefit,” he said. He said it was heartening and humbling to realize how many people have come together to help him. “I may not be blessed with riches but I am blessed with friends,” he said. “People I didn’t even know were calling me, sending text messages and emailing me. People usually love their firefighters but everybody hates a cop so that outpouring of support really helps; it feels good to know people care.” There could also be more bills coming as doctors decide whether the surgery was enough or if there will be a need for chemotherapy or radiation treatments. A friend, Mary King, is planning the next fundraiser for Torres from 1-4 p.m. Nov. 11 at Joyland Church at the Rocky Mountain Christian Center, 10605 Green Mountain Falls Road. “It will be a bake sale but much more than that,” King said. “Local people have donated gift certificates, crafts and pies and cupcakes to raffle and El Paso-Teller 911 Authority and other public safety organizations will be there, too.” These safety organizations will give presentations and demonstrations so the event will not only help Torres but will also be educational for the public, King said. To volunteer or to make a donation, call King at 719-291-1754. Torres’ friends have also set up a medical fund at Pikes Peak Credit Union, 1616 N. Circle Drive, Colorado Springs, CO 80909. Anyone who wishes to make a donation can send a check payable to the “Felix Torres Medical Fund.” Write “30707483” and “account # 37945-3” on the memo line.

Fundraiser for girl diagnosed with leukemia set for Nov. 11 By Norma Engelberg
nengelberg@ourcoloradonews.com The bills are already piling up for a Woodland Park girl recently diagnosed with leukemia. Aspen Heidikruger, 13, is not only facing months of treatments in Colorado Springs but also has other health problems related to multichemical sensitivities and allergies, something that runs in the family. Her younger brother Isaac has severe enough sensitivities and allergies that their mother, Audrey Heidikruger, has to home school him. There is also an older sister, Ashley Heidikruger. To help the family defray the costs of fuel and other travel expenses, along with medical items and treatments not covered by insurance, April McMicken and the staff of Summit Salon and Beauty School in Woodland Park have planned a fundraiser from noon-5 p.m. on Nov. 11 at the salon and school, 110 W Midland Ave. “In Aspen’s support we’ll be shaving heads and giving people orange hair streaks,” McMicken said. “Orange is the ribbon color for leukemia but it also happens to be Aspen’s favorite color.” For more information or to make a donation, call 719-686-0205.

Guffey `hero dog’ dies WPPD credits kids Stacey Mae brought cheer, Teddy Bears to local patients
for quick thinking
By Norma Engelberg
nengelberg@ourcoloradonews.com Stacey Mae, a Greater Swiss Mountain Dog and winner of the 2011 Therapy Dog division of the American Humane Association Hero Dog Awards, died on Oct. 6. She lived with her owner Guffey resident Maria Mandel and was the inspiration behind the Teddy Bear Project. Through Stacey Mae’s personal Facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/ StaceyMaeTBP, Mandel has collected thousands of Teddy Bears and other soft toys to give to patients in hospitals and nursing homes throughout the Pikes Peak region. While Mandel attended a school in Massachusetts, her parents Richard and Pam Mandel and Stacey Mae personally handed out the toys. Just before this year’s Hero Dog Awards ceremony, it was announced that 5-yearold Stacey Mae had died after choking on a dog biscuit. In her memory, fellow Hero Dog finalist Ricochet and actress Betty White have started a fundraiser. Proceeds will go to Betty White’s Humane Heroes Club, which provides first aid, shelter and adoption services to animals affected by natural disasters and other catastrophic events. White will match the first $25,000 donated dollar-for-dollar.

2012, a year of challenges for GMF Special to the Courier Rob McArthur, public work director for GMF It started out with the Fire-bombing of the Town Hall in February, and then the successful election in April. In June we experienced the Waldo Canyon Fire and evacuation, and the subsequent flooding. Yet through all of that, the trustees, commissioners and municipal staff stayed focused on issues at hand. With minimal interruption, day to day operations continued with assistance from the community and CIRSA (the municipal insurance carrier). Even the Economic Sustainability Committee carried on with its goals to pass a mill levy increase, upgrade the municipal fee structures, reinvigorate the Triangle Chamber of Commerce, and focus on grant writing. The municipality has had success in 2012 with grants from the Department of Local Affairs, Pikes Peak Area Council of Governments and Great Outdoors Colorado. Public Works was even able to attain funding from the Pikes Peak Re-

gional Building Department (Floodplain Authority) for a creek side vegetation mitigation project associated with Fountain and Catamount creeks within the incorporated Township public land. This will be a good example or reference for private property owners on the importance of keeping the creek bed running through their property free of debris, and what the creek side should look like. The debris that builds up in the creeks has a negative effect on everyone downstream. As the waters rise and flash floods occur in the summer months, all that debris gathers together and forms a mass the size of a Mack Truck ripping down through the creek system. The collateral damage can be expensive and exhausting for all the downstream neighbors. The town of Green Mountain Falls attained a grant in 2010 from the Department of Local Affairs for a bridge replacement after the debris in Fountain Creek wiped out a culvert bridge in El Paso Avenue July 4th of that year. This funding from PPRBD has been a much needed light at the end of a very long and dark tunnel.

Woodland Park Police credit quick thinking on the part of two juveniles approached in separate incidents by strangers in vehicles. The most recent incident occurred around 11 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 21, when an eight-year-old boy was approached by a white male in a blue Wrangler Rubicon at Forest Edge Circle and Forest Edge Road. “The man opened the passenger side of the vehicle and asked the boy if he needed a ride,” said Detective Sgt. Tom Kinney. “The boy ran off to the neighbor’s house.” The man was thin, wore a black shirt and had a dark-colored beanie cap on, Kinney said. On Sept. 13, a 14-year-old girl was approached on Kelley’s Road by a man driving a Toyota 4Runner. The girl was carrying a cellphone which she put up to her ear and the man drove off, Kinney said. “We are still looking for the sus-
pect; we haven’t gotten a lot of leads,” Kinney said. Concerned about the effects of the two incidents on the community, Kinney stressed that the city is safe. Nonetheless, Kinney cautions parents to talk to their children about “stranger danger,” when approached by an unknown person. “Talk to your children, make sure they know what to do if approached by a stranger,” he said. If a stranger says he/she has lost a puppy or that the child’s parents were expecting them to be taken home, don’t believe it, Kinney said. “Have the child take a picture of the vehicle if he or she carries a cellphone,” he said. The two incidents happened after the kidnapping and murder of 10-yearold Jennifer Ridgeway in Westminster. “Since that time we’ve had these two incidents within a month of each other,” Kinney said. “We usually see two in a year.” In late-breaking news Oct. 24, Westminster police reported the arrest of a 17-year-old suspect in the murder of Jennifer Ridgeway.

Liaison helps homeless students Survey shows at least 25 CC-V students meet federal homeless criteria By Norma Engelberg nengelberg@ourcoloradonews.com

Alice Baker’s new job makes her cry. Along with her duties as the Cripple Creek-Victor RE-1 School District Step-Up Program and attendance coordinator, as of August, Baker is also the district’s homeless student liaison. “I’m new to this and I have a lot to learn,” she told the district school board at its Oct. 22 meeting. When she was asked to become the liaison in June, her first step was to read the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, which, among other things, sets the criteria schools use to determine which students are considered homeless and mandates what services districts need to provide for its homeless children and youths and their families. According to the act, a child or youth is considered homeless if they (and/or their families) are sharing housing with other persons “due to loss of housing, economic hardship, or a similar reason; are living in motels, hotels, trailer parks, or camping grounds due to the lack of alternative adequate accommodations; are living in emergency or transitional shelters; are abandoned in hospitals; or are awaiting foster care placement; … are living in cars, parks, public spaces, abandoned buildings, substandard housing, bus or train stations, or similar settings; and migratory children. “You wouldn’t think so but sometimes it’s hard to tell who is homeless and who isn’t,” Baker said. “You have to read between the lines. Kids might not think they live in substandard housing even if it doesn’t have running
water or heat. If they’re living with a grandparent they might be homeless if the grandparent doesn’t have legal custody or guardianship.” At the beginning of the school year, Baker sent a housing survey home with all students. Results have been used to identify about 25 students and/or families, from preschool to 12th grade who fit the criteria. Others have been found through word of mouth. “Kids will talk,” Baker said. “I have heard some stories that make me cry at night.” When she first heard about students who were hungry, she opened a small pantry in her classroom. “I had to close it because as soon as the people these kids were living with found out they could get food from the pantry they quit feeding them,” she said. “Now I take hungry students to the school cafeteria. … I’ve learned that you can’t just throw money at the problem. Sure, if a child needs shoes or a coat you can get them but you also have to teach them life skills appropriate to their ages.” She gave the example of a high school senior who was taught how to find resources and apply for higher education. “How does a homeless 17-year-old get a birth certificate without identification?” she asked. “That’s something I’ve had to learn.” Other things Baker has learned have to do with the housing survey, “the questions need to be more specific,” she said, and what resources are available both within the school district and in the community, such as the school counseling office and the Aspen Mine Center. “I am thankful we have so many resources in the area,” she said. When school board member Nancy Byers asked what the board can do to help, Baker said she was still trying to figure that out and would let them know.

Bowman reaches out to business leaders By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews.com A $25 million company with 320 employees, the RE-2 School is the third-largest employer in Teller County. However, with fewer students as well as significant funding cuts from the state, the district faces the same financial struggles as the city’s business owners. “We’re kind of at a crossroads as a community and as a school district,” said RE-2 superintendent Jed Bowman. “I don’t know how you can separate the two; I think the more we work together the more we are one.” Speaking to members of the Greater Woodland Park Chamber of Commerce Oct. 17, Bowman presented the district’s business plan for the future while seeking unified solutions to the persistent economic stagnation, at least in some quarters.
Jed Bowman, Ph.D., superintendent of the RE-2 School District, reached out to area business leaders, members of the Greater Woodland Park Chamber of Commerce, in a luncheon Oct. 17.
“It tugs at my heart when I see businesses that have had to shut their doors,” he said. “It’s tough, really tough, and I think everyone in this room has been impacted and the school district, to0.” In reaching out to business leaders, Bowman highlighted the detrimental effects of the Gallagher Amendment on the commercial sector. “I think about the injustice of the Gallagher Amendment and how its ratcheted tax base has businesses paying three times as much as residential,” he said. Under the amendment, passed by Colorado voters in 1982, businesses are assessed at a rate of 29 percent, which is 55 percent of the total property-tax revenue collected in a year. Residential is taxed at 7.96 percent, or 45 percent of the total. Since the tax revolt of 1982, however, residential makes up 75 percent of the state’s total property-tax revenue yet businesses still pay 55 percent. In a what-if scenario, Bowman proposed a community-wide sales day. “We do a day for senior citizens who volunteer 13 hours a year in our district to offset the tax bill by $100,” Bowman said. “Why can’t we also, as a school district, think about a business offset program? You’re the first to hear this; it’s something to think about for our future, something that might be beneficial to our business owners.” With parents, guardians and friends of 2,600 students, the district impacts about 6,600 people, Bowman said. “What can we do? Do we have a preferred vendor, preferred businesses, where our employees get a discount? That’s real simple thinking but it could have an impact.” The district could promote the business on its website, Bowman added. “If
Members of the Greater Woodland Park Chamber of Commerce were invited to a brainstorming session Oct. 17 with Jed Bowman, superintendent of the RE-2 School District. Photos by Pat Hill we have a strong business base, or if we improve the one we have, then for all of us in the business world, it increases that constant bottom line we can depend on,” he said. “I have a feeling from the different entities I serve that we can grow that constant for all of us by having these purposeful relationships.” In a time of diminished revenue, the district has rearranged its business plan to include out-of-the-box methods such as the retired-educators program. “Our business is to educate students to grow
up and be successful citizens in the twenty-first century,” he said. “It’s also about asking what we can do to connect our community with our kids and our kids with our community. We need to get some thinking and new eyes on things to help us.” To that end, Bowman asked for help by passing around a volunteer sign-up sheet. “If you have any interest in being part of our thinking, I’d love for you to invite you we need to get new thinking new eyes on things to help us.”

Pioneer weapons won the West
PLHS presentation starts with mountain men By Norma Engelberg
nengelberg@ourcoloradonews.com For more than 40 years, Jerry Wlodarek has been restoring history in one way or another. Now he is sharing that love of history and restoration with the public during occasional monthly presentations for the Palmer Lake Historical Society. The next one, “Pioneer Weapons,” presented with Johnny Mulligan, will be at 7 p.m. on Nov. 15 at the Palmer Lake Town Hall. “We’ll talk about and show all kinds of weapons used
by pioneers to hunt and protect themselves,” he said. “We’ll start with flintlocks, move on to cap-lock rifles and end with cartridge guns.” The presentation covers weapons of the period between about 1765 when the first pioneers were mountain men to the post-Civil War period. Wlodarek learned to make guns of the period before mass production by apprenticing to a gunsmith at the age of 14. Even before that he learned a lot about historical restoration from his father and his mother’s brother as a young child in New York. “They mostly worked on 1600 and 1700’s stuff and I went along with them,” he said. He joined the military
in the 1960s and became a weapons specialist. “When I got out of the military I found my niche making all kinds of early American weapons,” he said. “It used to be that there was a gun maker in every township as people moved west. I make guns the same way the gun makers originally made them.” He has worked as a contractor but his love of historical restoration is being put to good use now that he and Mulligan work for Douglas County as restoration specialists. “The county has acquired some 100-year-old ranches and we’ve been bringing the buildings and barns back to their former state,” Wlodarek said. “We’ve done a few histori-

Gottlieb Fluhmann’s ghost wanders Puma Hills Ghosts are particularly restless if left to wander in the shroud of mystery — and when an acutely wicked deed goes without answer, explanation or justice — for years upon years. Such was the case of the tiny immigrant from Switzerland, Gottlieb Fluhmann, murdered in the Puma Hills above Lake George in 1892. “Fluhmann was a small stocky man scarcely 5’4” tall and was subjected to much ridicule because of his height and broken English,” writes author Midge Harbour in her 1982 book “The Tarryall Mountains and the Puma Hills: A History.” “In 1890, on one of his infrequent trips to town, he stopped off at a bar,” according to Harbour. “While sitting at the end of bar, he became the subject of Ben Ratcliff’s attention. Ratcliff had long been suspected of stealing some of Fluhmann’s cattle and now taunted Gottlieb with the prospect that he was eating a juicy steak from one of his missing cows. Since Gottlieb Fluhmann had each of his cattle named, and had made each a special pet, this was indeed a humiliation.” Later , two of Ratcliff’s sons extended the insulting behavior as they rode near Fluhmann’s home. “Gottlieb’s anger had become an obsession and he awakened at night hating the name Ratcliff. When he saw the two boys, he ordered them off his land. The younger lad taunted him as he had previously seen his father do. `You can’t make us do anything!’ Gotlieb waved his pistol, which he always carried with him. `You can’t shoot us. We’re only kids.’ … The older boy rode up to the corral rode and spit tobacco juice in the face of Fluhmann’s horse. This triggered Fluhmann’ temper and he began firing over the heads of the boys and they rode rapidly away,” writes Harbour.
“When Ben Ratcliff heard of the incident, he sent his daughter to warn Gottlieb that he would be the target of her father’ bullet when he came hunting in October.” According to another account of the exchange in Celinda Kaelin’s 1999 book “Pikes Peak Backcountry: The Historic Saga of the Peak’s West Slope,” Ratcliff’s reputation insured the danger of actually carrying out such a threat, so the little Swiss man decided to create and emergency plan. “He would relocate to a cave he had found in the rocky cliff about a mile above his home. He secretly made a new home within this five- by fifteen foot cavity, installing a strong door at the entrance for added protection and a glass window for surveillance,” says Kaelin’s book. “When Fluhmann first disappeared, everyone, including the local sheriff assumed he had returned to Switzerland. But not Rattcliff. He knew his prey would never leave his beloved animals unattended. When they still appeared wellcared-for after several months, he began a systematic search for the little foreigner.” He eventually discovered the cave one evening after months of searching. “Ratcliff waited on the ledge above the cave until early the next morning. As Fluhmann cautiously opened the heavy door to greet the new day,Ratcliff fired
sending a fatal bullet through the stock of Fluhmann’s gun and into his chest. He then climbed down to his victim and dragged him back into the cave,” writes Kaelin. The little man and his mongrel dog’s skeletons were found more than 50 years later by a hunter in the fall of 1944. “Master Sargent Francis Brahler of Peterson Field discovered the old cave while he was hunting,” reported the Nov. 1, 1944 Gazette Telegraph. “He spotted the old window frame on the ledge and upon investigating, found the cave entrance. The big dishpan was still suspended with the letters, pipes, and other items including two gold inlaid flintlocks. He took many of the items back with him to his campsite and returned the next day. This time he found a human skull and the bones of what appeared to be the skull of a dog.” Kaelin notes that Ratcliff never did pay for this particular diabolical transgression but was called to account for other misdeeds. “…Fate did collect him from killing three school board members on May, 6, 1895. His children were again the catalyst for his dangerous temper, and he unleashed his fury when he learned they were having a special meeting to discuss them. He rode up to school house, dismounted, and walked in, shooting Samuel Taylor, Lincoln McCurdy, and George Wyatt… He later turned himself in to the sheriff at Como, was tried, convicted, and later hanged at the Colorado State Penitentiary in Canon City,” wrote Kaelin. Perhaps, the ghost of a sawed-off Swiss immigrant, befriended by his own livestock and his loyal mongrel dog, still wanders in the hills and hides in the caves in the Puma Hills above Lake George. I recentlty was sent the following com-
munication from a descendant of Benjamin Ratcliff. “Several Colorado residing descendants of Benjamin Ratcliff report that they have never heard the tale of Gottleib Fluhmann. The references cited seem to be based on exaggerated local commentary and contain inaccurate facts. So without proof, they feel that Benjamin has been unfairly accused of the serious charge of being Gottleib’s killer.” “However, in the matter of the Bordenville school board, this is the account from Benjamin’s oldest child - and Only son - as told to his grandson: Some time around 1875 Benjamin and his wife moved from Missouri to Park County, Colorado, and established a farm about seven miles from Bordenville. Their son and two daughters were born there. His wife died there in 1882 while the children were still very young. Benjamin raised the kids there until 1895. He had a running battle with the local school board in 1894. He wanted them to provide a summer school program, allow the school books to be loaned out, or set up a school closer to his ranch. He taught his children at home, and wanted some help with that. Winter weather was too bad to make the trip to school. Late in 1894 unsupported gossip spread that incest involving Benjamin and his older daughter spread around the local area. He became enraged. The man most responsible for spreading the gossip was on the school board. Benjamin’s temper escalated and he ended up shooting all three members of the board as they met together at the school May 6, 1895. He turned himself in the same day as the shooting. Eight months later, on the evening of February 7, 1896, he became the ninth execution by hanging (out of 45 in the history of the state) at the prison in Canon City. “
Time to take back our 59 minutes
Energy drinks, a danger?
Summer officially ended on Sept. 22 with the first day of fall, but for much of the world, the last day of summer is actually marked by the end of daylightsaving time or “summer time,” as it is called in many other countries. Daylight-saving time is abbreviated DST in the United States. Every spring we move our clocks ahead to add an hour of sunlight to the after-work evening. On Nov. 4 we take back that hour by moving our clocks back. My brother says we actually only get 59 minutes back because “the government always keeps something.” The idea of DST was first floated by Benjamin Franklin in 1784 when he was the U.S. envoy to France. According to “Benjamin Franklin: America’s Inventor” written by Seymour Stanton Block and published in the February 2006 issue of American History Magazine, Franklin calculated that “if all the families of Paris who caroused until late at night and then slept until noon would arise with the sun six hours earlier, 64 million pounds of candle wax would be saved in six months’ time.” He proposed to ring Parisian church bells at sunrise and, if that didn’t work, set off cannon fire in every street to “wake the sluggards.” Franklin’s suggestion was supposed to have been satire but this was Franklin so who knows? Whatever he meant, the idea wasn’t presented again until 1895 when New Zealand entomologist George Vernon Hudson presented the idea of a two-hour time change to the Wellington Philosophical Society. The conception of DST as we know it is usually credited to English builder William Willett who, in 1905, presented the idea of advancing clocks one hour
The ongoing controversy over energy drinks came roaring back into the national spotlight last week. The parents of 14-year-old Anais Fournier filed a lawsuit against Monster Energy claiming the caffeine in the company’s drink killed their daughter. According to the New York Times, the young girl consumed two 24-ounce Monster Energy drinks in 24 hours, each containing 240 milligrams of caffeine or 7 times the amount of caffeine found in a 12-ounce cola. Her autopsy attributed her death to “cardiac arrhythmia due to caffeine toxicity.” The Times also reports that between 2004 and June of this year the Food and Drug Administration has received reports of five deaths and 37 adverse events linked to Monster drinks ranging from stomach pain to vomiting and abnormal heart rate. While investigating the allegations, the agency is also stating that the reports do not necessarily prove a causal relationship. The results of the FDA’s inquiry should be of some interest to America’s youth. It seems that high school and college athletes are increasingly consuming large quantities of these caffeine and sugar-loaded drinks to boost athletic performance or lose weight. Supercharged beverages have also found favor at colleges as a study aid for sleepy students and as a mixer for alcohol for late night partying. According to recent research, about a third of 12- to 24-year-olds say they regularly consume energy drinks catapulting the energy drink industry to a whopping $6.2 billion in yearly revenue. Marketing themselves as sources of increased energy, improved athletic
during the summer months. After years of deliberation, daylight-saving time was finally adopted in 1916 to save energy during World War I, first by the Germans and then by most of the rest of Europe and the United States. DST went away after the Great War but came back year-round during World War II when, in the United States, clocks were moved ahead one hour and the result was called “War Time.” UnitedKingdom clocks were moved two hours ahead for “Double Summer Time.” War Time went away in 1945 and DST didn’t come back to much of the Northern Hemisphere until the 1973 energy crisis. It’s been with us ever since. Residents of Hawaii, Arizona, Midway Islands and Wake Island don’t change their clocks and DST is seldom, if ever, used in most tropical countries (lucky them). After more than 35 years of twice-ayear clock changing, no one is sure that DST actually saves energy or if its advantages to some sectors of the public aren’t outweighed by its disadvantages to others, such as farmers whose day starts at dawn no matter what their clocks say (my chickens and cats are also unfazed by the time change.) One thing everyone is sure of is that the time change is a great time to change the batteries in our smoke alarms.
performance and invigorated mental alertness, the industry’s websites feature high-flying motorcyclists and upsidedown skateboarders as dynamic embodiments of the concentrated energy that is held in their little can of liquid dynamite. The primary horsepower behind these super-charged sodas are caffeine and sugar. The average energy drink contains 80 to 90 mg of caffeine, which is approximately the amount found in a cup of coffee. Some brands, however, offer as much as 3,200 mg of caffeine in an 8 ounce serving. When you combine that with an average dosage per can of 25 to 38 grams of sugar, roughly 6-9 teaspoons, you’ve got yourself a beverage with some serious kick. There’s no shortage of anecdotal tales of emergency room visits by youngsters who have over imbibed on an energy drink. In 2007, Doherty High School in Colorado Springs banned the energy drink Spike Shooter, which boasts 300 mg in caffeine, after several students became sick after drinking the beverage. In Broward County, Florida, four middle school students were rushed to the emergency room suffering with heart palpitations after drinking Redline. And

Blue plays nice with people while green sometimes lashes out when interrupted. Gold, on the other hand, is predictable, likes to stay inside the box. But orange is all over the map, seeks adventure and drama. Unlike the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator test, personality evaluations based on primary colors breaks new ground in the eternal quest for success, by business leaders and employees as well as the younger generation. “If you understand a person’s primary color you can create jobs that fit those needs,” said Mark Platten, director of the Colorado State Extension office in Teller County. Platten, whose job description encompasses everything from agriculture issues to enhancing the lives of area youth conducts workshops based on “Follow Your True Colors to the Work You Love,” by Carolyn Kalil. “Once you understand your colors and how you work with others, we have found that several agencies have
shifted their job responsibilities to fit the needs of their employees,” he said. In essence, the color chart is a vehicle for self-awareness, empathy and efficiency that casts a new light on solving conflicts and engendering peaceful relations. The four colors run the gamut of human experience. “Greens are the educators, the wisdom keepers who tend to have lots of college degrees,” Platten said. “When greens start a business, they’re the entrepreneurs who know all the minutia of things because they want to succeed. They’re `techie’ people who tend to work in cubicles.” The golds tend to be accountants, people who keep things going. “They might say something can’t be done in a company because there’s not enough money,” Platten said. “Golds follow procedure.” Blues are the bleeding-hearts. “Blues want to take care of people and their needs,” Platten said. “As well, there’s a spiritual aspect to it; blues ask `why are we here?’” Orange is the do-and-think-later kind. “Oranges have lots of energy, like to be hands-on and the center of at-
tention,” he said. “They don’t like to have jobs that are repetitive.” Junior-high students tend to be in the orange stage, Platten said. “They’re exploring who they are, their sexuality, their friends and relationships,” he said. “It’s more than a career path we’re looking at but relationship patterns that are supporting rather than frustrating.” Platten, in conjunction with Lisa Noble, coordinator for the Gold Belt Build a Generation, is taking the program to students in the RE-1 School District. “With personality evaluations, kids can explore paths that really fit them,” Platten said. “When they go to college, or to a post-secondary job, they’ll have an ability to be clear who they are and where they are heading.” The evaluation is based on a 12-page questionnaire and explanations of the characteristics that distinguish the colors. “Most of us aren’t just one of anything but a blend of all,” he said. “But some people rank really high in one particular color and low in another and those are key items.” Platten talks about the program at the Lunch n’ Learn event Nov. 1.
Safe Driving class free for veterans
By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews.com
Ready or not, the aging process has a few down sides. A reality check for people over 50, maybe 55, means facing diminished eyesight and hearing. However, the AARP Safe Driving class is designed to reverse the adverse effects of aging, particularly as they relate to driving. In Teller County, getting behind the wheel can be hazardous, with mountain roads and unpredictable weather. “AARP recognizes that, as people get older, they’re not the same kind of driver they were at 20,” said Mike Storey, who is among the volunteers who teach the class. “The class is a way to give you back some of those skills.” For the reluctant, the come-on is that the class comes with a bonus. “The added benefit is that you’ll get a break on your insurance,” Storey said. For veterans and their families, the November classes are free. “Last year we impacted 100 veterans who came to six
classes, the third-highest number in the state; and we’re the smallest county in the state,” Storey said. “We just want people to know that this class is available and it’s free.” The four-class includes the workbook materials. “We re-connect people with the safety features on their cars, the antilock braking, for instance,” said Storey, a veteran and retired police officer. “We try to recapture some of your lost reaction time. Statistics show that we lost about .3 of a second in reaction time as we get older.” In the class, the instructors talk about air bags as well as the importance of seat belts. “I’ve been to accidents where people haven’t been wearing seat belts. I can relate to a lot of things we teach,” he said. “It’s a personal thing for me, too, because I’m a veteran. I’d like to see every veteran in Teller County take this class.” For non-veterans and their families, the class is $12 for AARP members and $14 for non-members. The classes are from 1 to 5 p.m. Nov. 1 at the Woodland

field call. “Most of the things you can do in a general-practice clinic I can do right there at your house,” he said. “So I’m a niche.” Woodland Park ranchers Jane and Dick Lass are among Stubblefield’s clients. “We feel Britt is an asset to the community; there has been a shortage of large animal veterinarians here,” Jane Lass said. “With his state-of-theart equipment, he can do PAP, pulmonary arterial pressure, tests, which can detect high-altitude disease in cattle.” Observer of rural ranching in Teller and Park counties, Stubblefield adjusts to the dynamic of the changing times. “The amount of large herds in the cattle industry is diminished drastically from what it was when I started coming up here in 1995,” he said. Nonetheless, the veterinarian clients have adapted and initiated their own brand of marketing. “I have clients with 20 to 25 cows that have great niche markets selling natural grass-fed beef,” he said. “The niche markets allow you to make more money per animal.” A familiar figure around the rural areas of the counties, Stubblefield is a cutting-edge veterinarian who transports his fieldside manner. “That’s how veterinarians used to be, all mobile,” he said. “But then they started building big extensive clinics and now technology has gotten better where you put all the supplies in the vehicle. There’s a lot of technology you can bring to the field these days that you couldn’t bring before.”

Traveling around the rural areas of Teller and Park counties, Britt Stubblefield, DVM, is a twenty-first century veterinarian. With his ambulatory mobile vehicle, Stubblefield incorporates the latest medical technology while maintaining the image of the timehonored rural animal doctor. At the age of 38, Stubblefield covers 150 miles a day, sometimes 300, treating large animals, mainly horses and cattle. “I do about 10 percent of all the ,other livestock, sheep, goats, llamas -and alpacas,” he said. Stubblefield, who lives in Guffey, is a recipient of the USDA Veterinary Medicine Loan Repayment Program. “Park and Teller counties are designated by the USDA as a shortage area for livestock work,” he said. y Established by the U.S. Congress to address the shortage of rural veterinarians who treat large animals, the program pays the recipient’s student loans up to $25,000 a year for three years. h Teller/Park is one of eight designated shortage areas in Colorado. “The hprogram allows me to pay less on my estudent loans but I’m able to divert money for more technological and advanced services,” Stubblefield said. Stubblefield’s vehicle is a clinic on wheels. With digital radiography, laboratory and ultrasound machines, hot and cold running water, needles and medicines, the vehicle is retrofitted for emergencies as well as the routine

Censner returns but Panthers still fall Injured QB back under center for Woodland Park By Danny Summers
sports@ourcoloradonews.com COLORADO SPRINGS - Not even the return of Jacob Censner under center could change the fortune of the Woodland Park High School football team. Censner, who missed nearly four games with a broken left fibula, completed just 1 of 4 passes in the Panthers’ 4914 loss to Discovery Canyon on Oct. 27 at District 20 Stadium. It was Woodland Park’s fifth loss in six games and dropped its record to 3-6, 1-3 in the Class 3A South Central League. “It’s just fun being able to play my senior year the last two games,” Censner said. “I didn’t know if that was going to happen, so I’m glad it did.” Censner and his teammates had the unenviable task of going up against one of the best teams in the state. Discovery Canyon (8-1, 4-0) cruised to a 42-0 halftime lead, which meant that a running clock was implemented as Woodland Park attempted to work its way out of a hole. “We put in a new offense and we tried to adjust to that,” Censner said. “We usually throw it 20 to 30 times a game, but we tried to run it a lot more today.” The Panthers used a more traditional two tight end set with Nich Nunes and Robert Ensley, and a wing-T backfield that included Matt Cox, Dylan SchallerWard and Josh Smith. Cox got the bulk of the carries, rushing for a team-high 92 yards on 21 carries - 81 coming in the second half.
Woodland Park quarterback Jacob Cesnser, No. 5, returned from injury but it wasn’t enough to lead the Panthers past Discovery Canyon. Photo by Brian Arnold The Panthers’ offense was non-existent in the first half as the team managed just two first downs (one on a penalty) and failed to convert a third-down. Censner completed his only pass - a 22-yard strike to Jonathan Hinton - while running backs combined to game just six yards on 21 carries. Discovery Canyon - a dominant running team - seemingly had no trouble moving the ball through the air; scoring on six of seven possessions (it missed a field goal on the other). Quarterback Alec Wirtjes completed 6 of 9 passes for 161 yards and four touchdowns on strikes of 33, 48, 27 and 23 yards. Wirtjes threw just four touchdown passes in his first eight games. “I expected (Discovery Canyon) to throw it,” Woodland Park coach Joe Roskam said. “They have to get ready for the playoffs and they have to be able to

s
throw. They have to do those things to geth ready.” l Woodland Park’s best drive came on itsn final possession when Censner marched the team 90 yards, capped by Schaller-i Ward’s 10-yard touchdown run with 5:35s remaining in the fourth quarter. The2 Panthers picked up seven first downs onl the drive as the freshman Cox ran for 79 yards. b “I’m excited about what he’s goingt to be giving us for the future,” Roskam said of Cox, who started three games ath quarterback in Censner’s absence. “He’s a young kid. He’s going to get better andn 2 better and better.” Schaller-Ward scored the Panthers’H second touchdown three minutes later when he picked up a Scott Betzer and gal-b s loped 25 yards into the end zone. “It does feel good to score and all, buth our first half wasn’t so good,” SchallerWard said. “We have to come out ands play a whole game. Just not a good second half. “We know where we’re strong. We put in a defense this week we know that can stop them. We know they put up 49 points, but overall I think we had a pretty good defense.” While Roskam and his team were noticeably down after the game, they were already looking ahead to the season finale Friday at home against Lewis-Palmer (5-4, 3-1). “We’re going to celebrate our seniors this week,” Roskam said “We only have a handful of them. That’s what we’re really going to focus on. “We’re going to put together a great game plan against Lewis-Palmer and see if we can’t get better.”
Rash of injuries leave local teams hurting By Danny Summers
sports@ourcoloradonews. com WOODLAND PARK - Injuries are a part of playing sports. But Woodland Park High School football coach Joe Roskam says enough is enough. “I’ve never seen anything like it in all my years of coaching,” Roskam said. “It’s been a rash of crazy injuries. It’s been a really weird, funky year.” Sprained ankles, sore calf muscle, tweaked fingers are ugly bruises are common among athletes. But broken legs and concussions have been more the norm for the Panthers football team. Such was the case during a 28-0 loss to Pueblo Central on Sept. 28 when four Panthers went down with game-ending injuries. “I knew right away when I got tackled it wasn’t sprained,” said Woodland Park senior wide receiver Joe Callahan, who suffered a broken fibula. “My right leg landed in an awkward position.” Callahan’s injury occurred in the second half. But just four plays into the first quarter Panthers senior quarterback Jacob Censner also broke his fibula. Later, junior defensive back Logan Watters suffered a concussion, and senior wide receiver/defensive back Adam Primrose left the game with severe shoulder and ankle injuries. A tough situation became
almost unmanageable during the football team’s 49-13 Class 3A South Central League loss to previously winless Wasson Oct. 5 at Garry Berry Stadium. With Callahan and Censner hobbled on the sidelines on crutches, and Watters and Primrose not fully recovered, three more key starters went down. Junior running back/linebacker Weston Shutts was lost for the season with a torn knee ligament, and senior defensive tackle Zach Menz and junior defensive end Shawn Didde were forced to leave the game with concussion symptoms. “I have never been through a season with these types injuries,” Callahan said. Neither has Woodland Park athletic director Michael DeWall, a former football coach. “You tend to go through cycles,” DeWall said. “Some years you avoid those types of injuries, and other years you can’t escape them. Right now, Joe is experiencing it all. You just have to chalk it up to a fluke. “Concussions are probably a product of increased awareness. A lot of it has to do with the fact our kids are bigger, stronger and faster than when I played. Coaches and our trainers are doing a great job of having the kids report.” The football program is not alone in dealing with severe injuries. Junior Paloma Juarros, a setter on the volleyball team suffered a concussion

The next day during practice, senior outside hitter Alli Buchholz suffered a concussion when he ran into the leg of teammate Elin Saxon. “The next day I couldn’t remember stuff and I couldn’t comprehend; I had a massive headache,” said Juarros about her concussion symptoms following the Coronado match. “It was just kind of weird.” Juarros was out for two weeks and was able to return to the team’s Oct. 23 match against Manitou Springs. Bu-
chholz returned for the Oct. t 27 Mitchell Marauder Tourna- r ment. a Even the cross country r team was subject to more than t its normal pulled muscles and a shin splints. “A lot of our girls came into the season with injuries,” said Woodland Park cross country coach Ron Payton. “I don’t really have a handle on it. They don’t do mega miles. I don’t have them training beyond what they can handle. “It almost seems like a curse on a lot of the Woodland Park athletes.” Or maybe it’s just one of those years?

Dillinger leads Panthers to top 15 finish Senior places 66th, The Classical Academy nabs 10th-consecutive crown By Danny Summers
sports@ourcoloradonews.com
COLORADO SPRINGS - Megan Dillinger closed out ther high school cross country career by leading Woodland Park to a 15th-place finish at the Class 4A state fisnals, held Oct. 27 at Norris-Penrose Events Center. d “I feel the course definitely ran faster, but I was giv-ing it my all because this is my last race of high school,” 5said Dillinger, who finished 66th overall with a time of e21 minutes, 35.4 seconds. “I’m very happy. It was a good nlast race.” 9 The hilly course was an unforgiving venue, marked by rough terrain, creeks and boulders. Several runners gtumbled and crossed the finish line with bloody knees. m “I’m really proud of everybody,” Dillinger said. “I’m thappy.” s Dillinger normally ran second this season behind judnior Savannah Ebhert. But Ebhert finished third (71st, 21:38.9) at the state meet behind super sophomore Lexi ’Harrison (68th, 31:36.8). r “I was in front, and the last 100 meters I saw Megan -behind me and she was running really fast,” said Harrison, who was injured much of the season. “I’m like, `It’s ther senior year. I might as well let her win.’” - Ebhert, a three-time state qualifier, said she ran a dstrong race, but found the hills challenging. - “I was with Megan a lot of the way, but the last hill
she passed me and I just couldn’t keep up,” Ebhert said. “It was definitely a painful race, but I pushed through it really well. It felt good afterwards.” Filling out the Panthers’ top five were junior Michaele McDonough (82nd, 21:49.40 and junior Anne Fisher (114th, 22:26.1). Two other Woodland Park runners ran, but did not figure in the scoring; Juniors Kelsey Seibel (129th, 22:42.1) and Brianna Austin (195th, 24:29.4). “As a team we stuck together the first part and we gradually filled out,” Ebhert said. “But there were still four of us together in the last mile, so that was good.” Woodland Park coach Ron Payton was pleased with the way his girls ran. “Four girls were right together and the fifth one wasn’t too far back,” he said. “You want the pack to be further up in the race, but I was still pleased.” Dillinger is one of the few seniors on the squad. She thinks the future is bright for the returning runners. “Savannah will take good care of them, and Lexi and Anne and everybody,” she said. “It will be a good team next year.” The Classical Academy won the race in relatively easy fashion, scoring 98 points. Two other Colorado Springs schools - Coronado (127) and Air Academy (131) ran second and third, respectively. Niwot’s Kelsey Cranny (18:41.3) won individual honors, crossing the finish line 1/100ths of a second ahead of Air Academy freshman Katie Rainsberger. The highlight of the day on the girls side was turned in by Pine Creek senior Heather Bates. She won the 5A race with a blazing time of 18:16.5 - more than 43 seconds ahead of second-place finisher Emma Gee of Legacy.

Panthers season comes crashing down Volleyball team fails to earn xberth in regionals By Danny Summers
sports@ourcoloradonews.com COLORADO SPRINGS - This was not the way the volleyball season was supposed to end for the Woodland Park High School Panthers. Not for one of the most talented teams in Stacy Roshek’s seven years as coach of the squad. These netters had high expectations that included competing in at least the regional playoffs. But losses to Elizabeth and Falcon in the Oct. 27 Mitchell Marauder Tournament sealed the deal for the Panthers as their season came to an abrupt end.
Woodland Park (10-13) did defeat Pueblo County and Mitchell in straight sets in the tournament, but needed to win all four matches to even have shot at a postseason bid. “We just lose focus and can’t pick ourselves back up,” said junior outside hitter Carli Vahsholtz. “Half our team plays well, and then the other half doesn’t. We need to fix that.” Against Manitou Springs on Oct. 23, Woodland Park came out firing and rolled to a 26-24 first-set victory. But things unraveled from there as the Panthers lost the next three games - 13-25, 23-25 and 10-25. “We were passing well. We were hitting well. We were all kind of meshing together,” said senior middle blocker Elin Saxon. “Everything was clicking. We played very well and we fought really hard.
“I don’t know what happened the last three games. Things just kind of got away. It’s disappointing to know we have all the tools to do it. We’re just not there.” Saxon said the final week was a microcosm of the whole season. “It’s like a roller coaster effect, kind of,” she said. “We know we can win and we know how well we can play. We kind of get up and we get down, and we get back up. But it’s kind of too late, or the other team is really far ahead, and any mistake we make when we come back up it’s hard to recover.” It wasn’t for a lack of talent that Woodland Park couldn’t generate the kind of consistency that Roshek or the girls expected of themselves. Senior middle blockers Hannah Sauer and Saxon were strong up front. Junior setter Paloma
Juarros was solid in the middle, and junior outside hitters Linnea Sauer and Vahsholtz posed a formidable threat on the outside. Junior Alexa Garrick filled in nicely at middle blocker and right side hitter. “We just don’t play as a team at times and can’t figure out how to get out of the rut,” Roshek said. “My expectation was for everybody to play well. We have some great seniors. We have some great juniors. I was really hoping for more this year. To put some matches together and finish.” Vahsholtz is already thinking ahead to next year. “We definitely have some potential for next year,” she said. “We have some good passers and stuff. A lot of our talent is going to come back. It’s going to be exciting to see how we grow.”

Committee specializes in transportation Reports to PPACG on needs of elderly, disabled, job seekers By Norma Engelberg
nengelberg@ourcoloradonews.com The name of the committee is a little unwieldy and will likely soon change but the Coordination Committee on Specialized Transportation is chugging along. The committee started out about four years ago as the Specialized Transportation Subcommittee to the Pikes Peak Area Council of Governments’ Transportation Advisory Committee. Specialized transportation is also known as Human Services Transportation, a broad category that covers “persons with disabilities, elderly persons, low-income job seekers and newly-hired individuals, and other persons who may qualify for such services.” “A few years ago it was renamed and transformed into a full committee that reports directly to the PPACG Board of Directors,” said Lisa Thomas, Area Agency on Aging program services and contract administrator for the council. The committee’s purpose is threefold: To advise the PPACG Board of Directors and staff on current and emerging issues, goals, and plans relative to coordination of public, human service, and job access transportation services in the Pikes Peak region. To provide recommendations to the PPACG Board of Directors for coordination of public, human service, and job access transportation services in the Pikes Peak region.
To provide a forum for coordinating the services of those agencies providing public, human service, and job access transportation services in the Pikes Peak region. The definition of “Pikes Peak region” changes with the agency or committee. For the Area Agency on Aging, the region includes all of El Paso, Teller and Park counties but for the specialized transportation committee the region is defined by the PPACG’s Metropolitan Planning Organization and includes only El Paso and Teller counties. Currently, the committee is working on creating a job description and hiring criteria to be used by the PPACG to hire a new mobility manager. “A mobility manager is a job title kind of like `lawyer,’” Thomas said. “Lawyers specialize in Real Estate or water, for example, and mobility managers also specialize. Some of them are `big-picture’ and some are detail oriented.” According to Guy Dutra-Silveira, director the agency on aging, what the committee will be seeking is someone to coordinate transportation needs, create efficiencies, remove duplication and get “buy-in” from players in the community, including transportation providers, user advocates and funders. “We are seeking a grant through the city of Colorado Springs from the Federal Transit Administration,” he said. “If we get the grant we’ll be hiring a mobility manager in April.” The ultimate goal for the committee is to create a transit brokerage where people can go to fill all their transportation
Silver Key, an organization that fills a variety of needs for elderly El Paso County residents, is only one of many such organizations in both El Paso and Teller counties that are dedicated to helping specific populations, including the elderly, disabled, low-income job seekers and newly hire people and others who might need specialized services that could include access to transportation. Photo by Norma Engelberg
needs, Thomas said. “They’ll be able to make one phone call or visit one website, kind of a one-stop shop,” she said. “The idea is to simplify service for consumers and maximize resources by looking at the big picture of when, where and who participates in transit,” DutraSilveira said. “It will probably take us 10 years to get there from here but we’ll take it one step at a time.” In the meantime, the public can help
local human services provider agencies meet the needs of elderly and disabled populations by volunteering. These agencies include Silver Key, Comcor Inc., Community Intersections, Tri-Lakes Cares, Rocky Mountain Health Care Services and many others. Results of a recent human services transportation study can be found at http://www.ppacg.org/files/TRANSP/ LRTP-Jan2012/appenc_human_serv.pdf.
