Holiday marketplace goes online By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews.com Six Brazilian cowhides, 10 baseballs autographed by U.S. presidents and an electric guitar signed by the rock band Def Leppard. These are just a few of the favorite things to be sold on the first online auction for the 2012 Tweeds Holiday Home Tour. A fundraiser for Teller Senior Coalition, Woodland Park Hockey Association and Woodland Aquatic Project, the auction is in conjunction with the home tour Dec. 1 and 2 and replaces the arts and crafts market of previous years. A new venture for the home tour committee, the Virtual Marketplace offers browsing and shopping from the comfort of home or office. “You get to the marketplace and can peruse the items,” said Cord Prettyman, who with Karolyn Smith spearheaded the new venture. “Or if you’re interested in art, you can click on ‘art work’ and there will be photos of every piece. The photos were taken by Sheena Harper.” During the auction period, the art
works will hang in the Eichman Gallery at Park State Bank & Trust from Nov. 19 to Dec. 9 when the online buyer may collect the purchase. To date, the marketplace features 78 items ranging from wedding dresses to a 1982 Corvette and a 2007 Pontiac Solstice, each in mint condition. The auction items present possibilities for weekend mountain sojourns, at the Edgewood Inn in Woodland Park whose owners donated the entire inn, or at Bronco Billy’s Hotel in Cripple Creek, which includes meals and gaming money. An overnight at Upstairs at the Swiss Chalet includes dinner and breakfast. For the quirky collector, the auction features six baseballs signed by political figures such as Fidel Castro. “There’s not going to be a whole bunch of places on the planet where a Fidel Castro baseball is going to be available,” Prettyman said. In the ooh-ah category is the lot at Paradise at Pikes Peak that comes with a retail value of $189,000 and a minimum bid of $150,000. “Every item has a verbal description,
a minimum bid and a buy-now price and where the item can be seen around town,” Prettyman said, adding that Paula Levy wrote the descriptions. While some of the donations are glamorous and dramatic, most of them have opening bids from $25 to $100. While most of the items were outright donations others, such as the autographed baseballs, were donated on a reserved-bid basis Acknowledging the technological challenge of implementing the site, Prettyman credits Matt Upton, of MNM WebWorks, for compiling the information. As well, Upton will monitor the bidding action. In a media splash for the Holiday Home Tour, which features six area homes, the Virtual Marketplace Online Auction goes public during Media Night Nov. 16 at Tweeds. The auction opens that evening at 5 p.m. and concludes at 10 p.m. Dec. 9. The site is at www.wphht.org. Click on “marketplace” in the tool bar and follow the directions. Payment is collected through PayPal.
When Colorado voters approved the legalization of recreational use of marijuana, not everybody was stoked over the approval. To date, marijuana remains illegal under federal law; if that weren’t enough of a downer, the state may not gain tax revenue if voters were to deny a ballot measure seeking an excise tax. In Woodland Park, Debbie Upton, coordinator of North Teller Build a Generation, is upset over the vote. “This will make my job and the coalition’s job harder. All the factors will be in place for increased use, not just for youth but for all…availability, price reduction and increased acceptance toward the substance and its risk,” Upton said. “Our local youth rate of marijuana use already increased in the last few years, so I can only imagine what the increase will be with the passing of recreational use.” Upton’s concern is echoed by Ernie Martinez, president of Colorado Drug Investigators Association. In an email, Martinez writes: “Last night we witnessed an event that will have significant impact on our state and country as well as could determine the future we pass down to our children.” Martinez cites the organization’s partnership with Healthy and Drug Free Colorado, Colorado`s police chiefs, sheriffs, district attorneys and other anti-legalization groups to oppose the measure. “However, this effort could not compete with the millions of dollars poured into the campaign to legalize marijuana from outof-state sources,” Martinez adds. For Teller County Sheriff Mike Ensminger, the vote leaves too many questions. “According to the Federal Drug Administration, marijuana is a Schedule 1 drug, so how is legalization in Colorado going to work?” he said. “There are no legal guidelines for what level of THC equals the intoxication level of alcohol.” For law enforcement, the lack of scientific information about marijuana complicates things. “We don’t know how THC is ingested, what effect it has on the body and how the drug is eliminated from the system,” he said. “We don’t know how THC attaches itself it to the body, don’t know how long it stays in the body.” Questions continues on Page 5
County keeps nose to GOP grindstone Presidential vote replay of 2008 By Norma Engelberg
nengelberg@ourcoloradonews. com President Obama won Colorado for the second time in his successful re-election bid, but as in 2008, Teller County went approximately two-for-one for the Republican candidate. Election results available from
the secretary of state’s office show few surprises for a county that has consistently sided with the GOP for decades. The tally was 7,909 votes for Mitt Romney to 3,894 votes for Obama — about the same ratio as when county voters went to the polls in 2008 and gave their support to John McCain. Republican Congressman Doug Lamborn handily won re-

election in District 5. In Teller County he received 7,802 votes, outgunning his closest rival Dave Anderson (Unaffiliated) by more than 6,000 votes. There were five candidates on the ballot, none of them a Democrat. GOP candidate Polly Lawrence won the state House District 39 seat, beating Democratic candidate Carla Turner by a vote of 7,286 to 3,303 in the county. Libertarian Donna Price came in a distant third with 734 votes. All sitting judges kept their seats. Republican Brian Davidson failed in his run for the University of Colorado Regents at-large seat, losing to incumbent Democrat Stephen Ludwig, despite getting 6,847 votes in Teller County compared to 3,151 for the statewide winner. University of Colorado Regent for District 5 Kyle Hybl, a Republican, was re-elected with support from Teller County voters. Hybl is well known locally as vice
president and general counsel for the El Pomar Foundation. Northeast Teller County Fire Protection District won its bid for more money. Its mill levy increase was approved by fire district voters 4,282 to 2,022. In western El Paso County Commissioner District 3, Sallie Clark beat Democrat John Morris 34,276 to 25,557. There were a few surprises, however. One was the voter approval of Amendment 64, which legalizes the possession of small amounts of marijuana. Early returns showed it losing in Teller County but the final count showed the constitutional amendment squeaking by 6,140 to 5,769 — 52 percent to 48 percent. The
amendment won statewide by 10 percentage points. Another surprise for many was the strong approval of Amendment 65, which encourages campaign-finance reform. This one was approved by Teller County voters 8,266 to 3,176. At the end of the day, according to election consultant Al Davidson, the county still had slightly less than 100 provisional ballots to verify. These must be counted by Nov. 14. The final county canvass, which determines the official county election results, will take place on Nov. 16. Of the county’s 19,945 registered voters, 12,234 ballots were cast for a turnout of 61.34 percent.

87 percent of active voters cast ballots Teller County goes overwhelmingly for GOP By Norma Engelberg
nengelberg@ourcoloradonews.com With 19,945 registered voters in Teller County and 12,234 ballots cast, the voter turnout for the Nov. 6 general election was 61.34 percent. Most people would consider that a good turnout, but when the number of ballots cast is compared to the number of active voters in the county, 14,202, the turnout hit, 86.78 percent. County election Director Al Davidson said the election was a great success with no unpleasant surprises. “We’re very pleased,” he said. “We had good mail in numbers and about 2,000 early
votes, plus around 3,000 voters at the polls on election day. Our longest waits were only about 10 minutes at the busiest times of the day.” The fact that it takes some time to count mail-in ballots was typical for these kinds of elections, he said. “That’s the nature of mail ballots,” he said. “You get the last of them on Election Day and it takes time to count them. Still we had our count to the state before half of the other counties in the state reported.” Considering that the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2011 estimate of Teller County’s population was 23,356 and 20 percent of its citizens were too young to vote, about twothirds of Teller County citizens voted in the general election. “We had a lot of first-time voters who were very excited about participating in the process,” Davidson said. “We also had
30 student election judges. They have to be at least 16 years old and they were working for volunteer credits. It’s an eye-opener for these kids to see what goes on in an election.” While about two-thirds of the voters supported GOP candidates, sometimes there were no choices. Candidates running unopposed were Marc Dettenrieder with 8,756 votes for County Commissioner Dist. 1, Norm Steen with 8,522 votes for commissioner district 3 and 4th Judicial District Attorney Dan May with 8,841 votes. There were 16 candidates for president on this year’s ballot. President Barack Obama and Gov. Mitt Romney took the lion’s share of the votes but the other candidates received a total of 395 votes: 211 for Libertarian Gary Johnson, 40 for American Constitution Party candidate Virgil Good, 39 for Green Party candidate Jill Stein, 25 for
Peace and Freedom Party candidate Roseanne Barr and 54 votes for various write-in candidates, one of which was rumored to be Scooby Do. One might consider these votes as an endorsement for “none of the above.” While the majority of Teller County voters voted on the conservative side of the ballot, they didn’t vote that way on constitutional Amendment 64 legalizing marijuana, Amendment 65 setting limits on campaign finances from corporations or on the revenue hike for Northeast Teller County Fire Protection District. Final vote tallies will be determined on Nov. 16 during the county canvass but, with fewer than 100 provisional ballots to count there should be no change in the winners and losers categories.
LEAP stoked over 64 By Pat Hill

Colorado voters spoke loud and clear Nov. 6 about legalizing marijuana for recreational use. “It’s a bipartisan issue for both Democrats and Republicans, a signal that people are tired of the War on Drugs,” said Jason Thomas, spokesperson for LEAP, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition. “The vote is more than a symbolic step.” Amendment 64, which passed with 55 percent of the vote, would allow persons 21 and older to possess 1 ounce of marijuana and grow six plants. However, if the state were to gain additional revenue, voters would be asked to pass an excise tax, according to stipulations of the Taxpayer Bill of Rights. For now, Thomas celebrates the victory while expecting the vote to be challenged in
a federal court. “Personally, I believe the Supreme Court is the body that will hear the argument,” he said. Former detention officer and marshal’s deputy in southern Colorado, Thomas is among Colorado’s law enforcement officers who joined the campaign to legalize marijuana. “People respect police,” he said. “It’s a real honor to be able to get out and educate people about something I’ve lived with in my career.” With the vote on Nov. 6, Colorado and Washington are the only two states whose voters approved legalization of marijuana. In a press release from the LEAP organization, former Seattle police chief Norm Stamper is effusive in his praise for Washington voters. “I cannot tell you how happy I am that after forty years of the racist, destructive exercise in futility that is the war on drugs, my home state of Washington has now put us on
a different path,” Stamper writes in an email. Stamper considers drug cartels and street gangs among the losers on Nov. 6. “And those who profit from keeping American incarceration rates the highest in the world,” Stamper writes. “For the rest of us, however, this is a win. It’s a win for taxpayers, a win for police and a win for all those who care about social justice.” With President Barack Obama securing a second term, Thomas is optimistic about the conflict between the states and the federal government. “I see him as more tolerant,” he said. “Romney once stated he would shut down the marijuana industry, whether the substance was legal or illegal, said he believes marijuana is harmful.” While it’s uncertain how Obama will react to the legalization vote, Thomas considers the presidential election a hopeful sign. “It’s better to go with the devil you know…” he said.

Mayor goes off on development authority Asks for more due diligence, better communications By Norma Engelberg
nengelberg@ourcoloradonews.com Drainage work at Tamarac Center where the Family Dollar and O’Reilly Auto Parts stores are being constructed is complete, which allows the city to move the contractor over to the Woodland Station site for infrastructure work there. That work will not be as extensive as Woodland Park Downtown Development Authority board members planned. Some items, especially some of the parking and landscaping, had to be put on hold when costs began to go over budget. “We’ll have to roll that part of the infrastructure over into the next project,” said board President Dale Schnitker at the Nov. 6 authority board meeting. “Money makes the clock tick and in order to keep the project moving we had to leave a few things behind.” It was that “leave a few things behind” that brought Woodland Park Mayor David Turley to the meeting. “We’ve spent a lot of money on Woodland Station, including a $1 million loan,” he said. “I know your intentions are good but there’s not much to show for (the money spent). The latest thing is this underestimate of the costs.” He said the authority came to the city in March to ask council to sponsor a $1.3 million bond. “This was supposed to cover everything that needed to be done and then you ran over by $500,000,” he said. “… When parking came up you said it would be there but now it won’t be there. I’m concerned that you’re on a path where costs are (consistently) underestimated. … Your
weak points are your credibility … communications are important. When you tell the community you’re going to do something, you also need to tell the community when you can’t.” Schnitker pointed out that the authority stopped the work before spending into the $500,000 overrun. “If we go ahead and build (without the funding) that would be irresponsible,” Schnitker said. He then asked Turley for constructive suggestions. Turley said the board needs to do more due diligence and to base projects on what it has learned from its last attempt. “I’m afraid this will always be a red flag moving forward,” he said. Brian Fleer, who on Nov. 5 started his new job as executive director for both the authority and the city’s Office of Economic Development, said he will put on his developer hat and come up with a working process so that when the authority goes to the city with the next deal, he won’t have to say “oops.” During general discussion, board member Michael Faber said he was troubled by Turley’s comments. He said he joined the board with an awareness of the authority’s history and that the current board puts in hours and hours of work and is doing the best it can. “Everything that went on before is ancient history,” he said. “We need a way to brief the mayor so that when we go to city council we won’t feel like we’re in hostile territory. People tell us we’re the only game in town when it comes to attracting new businesses. We have to be unified: we have to work together.” Fleer said he will be working on the communications issue.

Home destroyed by fire in Florissant By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews. com There were no injuries in the fire that destroyed a home at 90 Manchester Circle in Florissant Nov. 12. Firefighters from Divide and Florissant responded to the call around 9:19 a.m. and stopped the fire from spreading to nearby
homes. The fire started in the wood stove, said Teller County Sheriff Mike Ensminger. “No other properties were destroyed but some trees caught on fire,” Ensminger said. “We were fortunate there was no wind, as there was yesterday, because the home is in a subdivision.”

Lamborn retains seat for fourth term John Denver’s music to Favored candidate in El Paso and Teller Counties By Lisa Collacott lcollacott@ourcoloradonews.com U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn has secured a fourth term in Colorado’s 5th Congressional District. Lamborn took the lead with 65 percent or 106,797 votes. Independent candidate Dave Anderson trailed behind with 19 percent of the vote while Liberterian Jim Pirtle had seven percent and Misha Luzov of the Green Party had six percent of the vote. American Constitution Party
Candidate Kenneth Harvell had four percent of the vote. Democrat Bob Evans of Palmer Lake, an adjunct history professor from Pikes Peak Community College, was to run against Lamborn but suspended his campaign in January. Lamborn was elected to office in U.S. Rep. Doug 2006 and represents Lamborn El Paso, Teller, Park, Lake, Fremont and Chaffee counties. He received 59 percent of the vote in El Paso County and 69 percent of the vote in Teller County.
Lamborn was pleased with his victory and reacted to President Barack Obama’s reelection. “I wish President Obama well with our troubled economy. I sincerely hope he will make an effort to work with republicans during his second term. My Republican colleagues and I stand ready to work with him on reducing the deficit and getting spending under control,” Lamborn said. “I believe those two things are absolutely essential to boosting our stagnant economy and creating jobs. Republicans are looking for solutions but not at the expense of compromising our bedrock principles on which we have been elected.”

its patrol area, with Mikesell as manager of the division. “It’s working out great,” he said. “It’s a nice community and I enjoy the people.” These days, Mikesell is part of Sheriff Mike Ensminger’s team dedicated to capturing the arsonist who set multiple fires in May and early June, each ignited near a public road in Teller County. “We needed so many people to stop the arsons from happening,” he said. “During the arson, Waldo Canyon and Springer Gulch fires we came together and became such a team. It was a flawless direction for the agency and the community.” The team includes nearly 140 volunteers for the Search & Rescue organizations, the sheriff’s posse and reserve units, in addition to the county’s commissioners as well as the fire departments. “That says a lot from what I remember as a deputy and the direction we were in before,” Mikesell said. “It’s been a unique situation.” Graduate of Cripple Creek/Victor High School, Mikesell joined the department in 1997 and served under sheriffs Guy Grace, Frank Fehn, Kevin Dougherty and for the past two years, Ensminger. “He was my college professor when I was in high school, taking Advanced Placement Classes in criminal justice at Pikes Peak Community College,” Mikesell said. “The department, under this sheriff, has made huge strides in becoming open to the public; he brought in the values of honesty, dignity and respect within our agency.” With a new sheriff in town, Mikesell’s career has a touch of Old West drama with the new wave of open communication.
phill@ourcoloradonews.com For Lt. Jason Mikesell, it’s been one adrenaline rush after the other. “There’s always something major happening,” said Mikesell, reflecting on his 15-year career with the Teller County Sheriff’s Office. From pulling SWAT-team duty during the now-legendary Texas Seven escapade in 2002 in Woodland Park to evacuating the area as the Hayman Fire closed in, Mikesell is right where the action is. In 2002, however, the SWAT team was a local phenomenon, particularly after the spectacular smoking-out of the Texas gangsters from a trailer park. Ten years later, the team is ranked ninth in the nation. On the gaming beat for the past several years, Mikesell credits the sheriff’s office with mitigating what could have been chronic crime, particularly, as it relates to drugs. “This agency has been proactive. When I first started here, we had a methamphetamine problem but over the years you don’t see it here as much,” Mikesell said. “We’ve done it with limited budgets and manpower. We’ve been so proactive in teaming with the communities that we’ve knocked a lot of stuff down.” Recently, Ensminger’s office accepted a request to include the city of Victor in

Bennett Avenue now belongs to Cripple Creek Extensive enhancement work planned for 2013 By Norma Engelberg
nengelberg@ourcoloradonews.com
The Colorado Department of Transportation is divesting itself of short sections of state highways that run through small towns. That effort is paying off for Cripple Creek. At its Nov. 7 meeting, Cripple Creek City Council accepted a deal from CDOT that will give the 1.6 mile section of Bennett Avenue that is Colo. 67 to the city along with $2.6 million to bring the avenue up to standards, upgrading underground utilities and replacing asphalt, curbs and gutters. “This work should revitalize the look of the city’s main business corridor,” said Ray White, Cripple Creek city administrator. “We’ll completely resurface the road and refurbish the retaining wall in front of City aHall.” That wall dates from the city’s “period of ehistoric significance” and will be preserved -in a way that is more historically authentic rthan what White called “the I-25 look.” The city also accepted a $510,000 state highway and safety enhancement grant for work on a portion of Teller County Road s1 inside the city limits where there have ebeen fatal accidents in the past.
Work on both projects will begin in 2013. “Planning work has already started so we’ll be shovel-ready as soon as the weather allows,” White said. “Bennett Avenue is important to our downtown businesses and the construction and events seasons coincide so we’re going to do everything we can to mitigate the impact. We’ll give contractors well-defined timelines; when construction can take place and firm completion times.” The city is also continuing work on enhancing its transit service. “We’ve received grants to buy two more shuttles we can use between Cripple Creek and Victor,” White said. “We’ve also received a grant for our trolley service. We’ll be able to have a free circulating trolley on Bennett Avenue and to the museums.” Finally, the city has decided to accept an offer from Black Hills Energy for lighting enhancements that will save energy and beautify the city. White said some street lights and municipal buildings lighting will be upgraded yet this year and that street lighting on Bennett Avenue will be upgraded at the same time as the avenue’s construction is completed. “We’ll be replacing our high-pressure sodium lights and other city lights with magnetic induction and LEDs lights,” he said. “It should give the city a whole new look. Exciting things are coming for Cripple Creek in 2013.”

Questions: July 1 is regulation deadline
HAVE A QUESTION?
Pikes Peak Courier View, P.O. Box 340, Woodland Park, CO 80866.
Questions continued from Page 1
The issue gets more complicated with the state’s failure to properly regulate the medical-marijuana e industry. “We have one e person doing background - checks for people who - want to open dispensaries in southern Colorado,” - he said. “We have cartels transporting drugs from our state to other states. We are arresting people who have six medical-marijuana cards, so the system is not working.” As well, it’s still up in the air if Colorado is to generate tax revenue from the sale of marijuana. According to TABOR stipulations, voters must first approve an excise tax for the sale of marijuana. On the plus side, if voters approve the tax, the
amendment designates the first $40 million collected to be used for constructing schools. As a result of the vote, John Suthers, Colorado’s attorney general, has scheduled a meeting with the U.S. attorney. “Suthers is on top of this,” Ensminger said. The time line for implementation is lengthy. While the amendment requires the state’s Department of Revenue to establish regulations by July 1, local governments, ordinances and regulations are required by Oct. 1. Municipalities may issue prohibition or a moratorium but the issue of legalization locally is decided by a vote of the people in the general election Nov. 4, 2014.

A man reportedly called into a local radio station last year during the Great American Smokeout and told the talk show host that his wife had given him an ultimatum: until he quit smoking, he wasn’t going to get any sex. The host asked him, “How long do you think you’ll be able to hold out?” The caller replied, “Until my girlfriend dies.” Funny joke but, unfortunately, smoking is not a very funny topic. Nov. 15 is the 37th Great American Smokeout. Cigarette smoking is the leading preventable cause of disease and premature death in the United States killing more than 440,000 people a year. It is estimated that adult males and females lose an average of 13.2 and 14.5 years respectively from their life span because they smoked. According to the American Cancer Society, as of 2010, there are 45 million who still smoke cigarette, 13.2 million cigar smokers in the U.S. and 2.2 million who smoke tobacco in a pipe. Tobacco is conclusively linked to an increased risk of lung cancer, heart disease, stroke, hypertension, pneumonia, bronchitis, emphysema, chronic airway obstruction and osteoporosis. Nicotine, the active ingredient in tobacco, is so deadly it is commonly used in large doses in insecticides. Think of that next time you light up. So if smoking is so bad for you, why don’t people just quit? Nicotine is an additive drug. It impacts the chemistry of the brain and central nervous system affecting both the mood and temperament of the smoker. Those who are “hooked” experience both physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms when they stop smoking. It takes the average smoker four attempts to successfully quit this dangerous habit, it can, however, be done. There are over 46 million ex-smokers in the United States today. The first question smokers need to an-
swer is “Why should I quit?” You can start with your family, which needs your emotional and financial support. If you die prematurely from a smoking-related illness, who will do what you do for your family. How about quitting for your kids? Children exposed to secondhand smoke at home are more prone to colds, ear infections and allergies that children of nonsmoking parents. Researchers say that by age 7, they are shorter than their friends, lag behind in reading skills and have more behavior problems. And finally, why not quit for yourself? You’ll feel better, look better, improve your quality of life and probably live longer. “Free” telephone quitlines have emerged as the most effective way to stop smoking. Smokers who use the quitlines are having twice the success rate as other smoking cessation programs. Trained counselors answer the calls and help each person plan a unique quitting strategy around his or her smoking habits and personal concerns.

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS
157 Infantry, 45th Thunderbirds: Paying tribute to those who served In 1941, thousands of Coloradans joined the fray in WWII when the 45th Infantry Division became one of the first National Guard units federalized from state control into the regular army force. Intense fighting followed in the invasion of Sicily, the attack on Salermo, and brutal battles at Anzio and Monte Cassino. And those were just warm ups for landings in France, during operation Dragoon, and final drive into Nazi Germany and physical liberation of the Dachau death camp. My Uncle “Stub” was a medic attached to 157 Infantry of 45th Thunderbirds, and an old friend of mine, from my hometown in Dolores, was in the same unit. “A few lines to let you know where I am and answer your letter,” wrote my uncle, to my father (who was still in High school at the time, in Meeker, CO) on Nov. 12, 1942 from New York, NY, as they prepared to depart for Europe after training there, Fort Sill, OK, and other places. “I don’t know much that would interest you, but will try to let you know how things are with me. It snowed last night and today so have had a little fun. We are having snow-ball fights, for this is the most snow I have seen since I was home last winter, and tonight there is about two inches.” The uncertainty of what was to come, was touched on in my uncle’s letter. “I still don’t know for sure whether I will get to come home not, so don’t look for me till you see me in person, and then you won’t be disappointed,” he wrote. The letter broke off a few lines later, but resumed, with a different ink. “I started to write this letter but the lights went out for about an hour, so it stopped me from finishing my scandal. Well, I guess there is no more to say, so till next time, goodbye for now.” My dad says he didn’t hear much from Uncle Stub again, until my other Uncle, Bill, who served in the navy, searched for his unit, and tracked him in France one day. “Been busy,” Uncle Stub told my Uncle Bill at the time. Perhaps an understatement, when you review the history. From another account, this one from Paul Butler (I knew Butler, later, while
growing up in Dolores, Colo.), who was a corporal in the same 157th regiment of the 45th Thunderbirds: “We were under machine gun fire all night long, laying on the ground. Machine gun fire killed my Sergeant. The Italians weren’t very good fighters but the Germans were, they were always blowing up railroad tracks and bridges. I saw a U.S.O. show with Bob Hope,” Butler told a nephew who compiled his story for the 157th regiment’s page for WWII Recreation Association page. “We traveled on foot a lot under General (George) Patton’s command. He gave a speech to about 2,000 of us and we were told we’d hit the mainland of Italy. I remember him saying, `If those SOBs don’t back up, take your bayonets and make them.’ Patton had to return to the states over the incident where he slapped the soldier with battle fatigue, so we went on without him,” according to Paul’s account to his nephew. “In Sicily I was transferred back into an Anti-tank company and I hauled 60mm Mortar rounds. On Sept. 8, 1943 we hit Salerno Beach. There, I drove a White half-track pulling a 37mm gun. I drove the half-track onto the beach head. On the way into Italy, the Italians surrendered, but the Germans fought furiously. That winter we were foot soldiers in the mountains of Italy. A lot of G.I.s got trench foot, frozen feet and lost toes. Then, on January 29, 1944 we hit Anzio Beach Head. The Germans had all the high ground and we were pinned down on the beach every day for 4 to 5 months. Every day was like a D-day,” he said. “I built a cellar that kept shell fragments out. It was a foxhole with a timber and sandbag roof. We had a gas stove and
played cards sometimes with a candle, when the candle went out you knew you had to get out to get oxygen. The Germans had this big gun we called Anzio Angie and when the big shells were fired, it sounded light a freight train coming. The gun was placed back in a tunnel on a railway car. They had a 6 barrel mortar that sounded like a screechin’ tomcat, but the toughest were those German 88’s. Us half-track drivers had to drive back up this road one time so we could hide and camouflage our vehicles. Most of my 37mm gun crew was killed then. They gave me the Bronze Star for delivering ammunition while under fire. I was just one of the lucky ones who didn’t get hit. A lot of men were captured, then escaped and rejoined us. One unit lost all but two of its men.” `Operation Shingle’ and the allied landing at Anzio was significant because the American 5th Army was surrounded by Germans in the caves of Pozzolli in February of 1944. It sustained heavy casualties. “One day when we had a break in the shelling and I was horsing around with some other fellas and one threw a dirt clod and gave me a black eye. They sent me to the hospital. They wanted to give me a Purple Heart, but I told the truth and said I’d rather have some aspirin. During the second night, the Germans shelled the hospital and I crawled under my cot. I told them it was safer where I had been, and I asked to be sent back to the front. “The last part of May, we broke out of the beachhead and headed for Rome. On June 6, 1944, D-Day, we were headed into Rome after 5 months of fierce fighting on Anzio. Because the Pope was in Rome, we were sent back to the beachhead for more training until Aug. 1. On the 15th of August we hit the Southern France beachhead near the French Riviera. It was an easy landing with very little resistance. We spent the winter in the Vosges Mountains. It was really cold. I remember the sap freezing in the trees and they’d blow up just like shells. In November of `44 we went into Alsace, an area along the German-French border. There was heavy fighting from town to town. I was a Transportation Corporal at
the time and I drove a Dodge 6x6 pulling a 57mm Gun behind it. We were under blackout operations most of the time. We crossed the Rhine River on an Army built bridge and into Aschaffenburg about 2 weeks after General Patton entered the city. We were in and out of buildings and German Snipers were firing at us all the time. Our commander told us that the end of the war was getting close and he didn’t want to see any more of us get killed, so we pulled out and the Air Corps bombed the city,” according to Butler’s account. “My last day of combat was April 30, 1945, my 511th day. That day I visited the Nazi concentration camp at Dachau. The day before, I company of the Third Battalion had been the first to Dachau. Some of my buddies went over that day, I figured I’d better see it too. I didn’t really want to, but I did. Them pictures you’ve seen, it was the truth. We had been fighting for two years and we were hard. We had seen things -our friends killed and you kind of got used to it, maybe your emotions sort of die,” Butler said. Both Paul Butler, and my Uncle Stub, were among the fortunate from 45th Thunderbirds that were able to return to Colorado after WW II, and resume their lives in the Centennial state, though my Uncle battled with health issues related to the shrapnel that he picked up in both Anzio and Sicily. The unit was briefly deactivated and then reactivated and restricted to Oklahoma soldiers in 1951, and finally deactivated in a downsizing of the National Guard in 1968. The former division was restructured into an infantry brigade, an artillery group, and a support command, with state headquarters providing general administrative and logistical support. This did not mean the end of the Thunderbirds; the Thunderbird patch was retained by all the organizations, with the exception of the state headquarters, which continued to be identified with the Indian-head patch. The 45th Infantry Division Museum in Oklahoma City still pays tribute to those who served valiantly over the years.
Perfect storm brings imperfect results Like Katrina and several other strong hurricanes before it, Hurricane Sandy will have a lasting impact on the nation even for those of us living where there haven’t been any hurricanes since the Western Interior Seaway disappeared at end of the Cretaceous Period. Almost a week before the Eastern Seaboard was in Sandy’s crosshairs; meteorologists were already calling it a superstorm. Sandy wasn’t that strong, only a category 1, but she made up for that in size. At 1,100

York harbor since 1900. Add in the effects of high tides and you have recipe for disaster. Scientists are saying that Sandy was only a warning. Using a variety of sources, the Discovery Channel show “Curiosity” listed the top 10 worst effects of global warming: Rising sea levels: Since most of the world’s population lives on coasts, even a rise of 2-3 inches will affect billions. Shrinking glaciers: According to the New York Times, the 150 glaciers that gave Montana’s Glacier National Park have shrunk to just 35 and The Washington Post reports that Himalayan glaciers, which provide drinking water for more than 500 million people, are shrinking by 1,200 feet per year. Heat waves: A heat wave in 2003 killed more than 35,ooo people across Europe and scientists are saying that heat waves are 3-4 times more likely now than they
were 50-100 years ago. Storms and floods: Think about more storms like Katrina and Sandy. Drought: A years-long drought in the heart of America’s hay and bread baskets has increased food prices for both man and beast and our drought isn’t an isolated incident. Disease: Tropical diseases such as mosquito-borne West Nile Virus have infected thousands of people in the United States and Canada and The Washington Post says that more than 150,000 people die each year from climate-change related illnesses. Economic consequences: Tufts University suggests that global warming will cost the worlds’ economies $20 trillion by the year 2100. Conflicts and war: How are countries are going to react to a loss of drinking water and arable land? Many of them will react with war. Loss of biodiversity: Scientific American estimates that 35 percent of the species alive today will be extinct by 2050. Destruction of ecosystems: Coral reefs are bleaching, rainforests are shrinking, deserts are expanding and plants and animals are moving northward with their habitats. The news isn’t all dire. There are still things we can do now to turn back the destruction but we need to have the political and individual will to do them.

In a town whose history remains a vital part of its character, the Outlook Lodge today is in good hands with Christian Keesee, who has restored the magnificent luster of the Victorian treasure.
Built in 1889 as the parsonage for Church in the Wildwood, the house served as a temporary home for visiting ministers. Until 1950, the church was primarily a place to hold services during the summer. In 1924, Mrs. W. F. Hunter bought the house from the church to open a hotel with four rooms available. Twenty-two years later, Russell and Aimee Samuel, teachers from Wichita, Kan., bought the establishment as a stop for summer tourists. Russell Samuel built the wood exterior staircase. This spring, the Outlook’s new owner, Christian Keesee, replaced the wood with a stone staircase.

Residents welcome updated Outlook By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews.com In a coming-out party for the Outlook Lodge, Green Mountain Falls’ residents celebrated Victorian elegance and economic renewal infused in the refurbished historic lodge. On a balmy fall evening, guests ascended the stone staircase to be greeted by a contingent of hosts, an array of gustatory delights and a tour of the inn. Perched on a hilltop amid lush trees, the Outlook tickles the imagination as a kind of storybook house, particularly at night when the lights cast a come-hither look, a place to be warm and cozy. The rooms are vibrant with new furnishings and original art from the owner’s collection yet the designers have maintained the integrity of the historic inn, including the narrow winding staircase and exterior woodwork. The wraparound porch and back patio, enhanced with the gas fireplace in the center, accent the role of nature in the Outlook experience. The inn, in the main house and the adjoining carriage house, has six rooms, including a large suite on the upper level. A getaway for a family, the suite features a private sitting room with bay windows, the
ideal spot for meditation or reading. Guests are invited to use the common area in the main house as well as the full kitchen, library, living, dining and laundry rooms. The renovation is just one of many initiated by Christian Keesee, the inn’s owner, president of the Kirkpatrick Family Fund, and founder of the Green Box Arts Festival. Since 2007, Keesee has enhanced the town with national artists, sculptors and performers who come to Green Mountain Falls for a week in July. The festival always includes a large piece of sculpture in Mountain Park. However, this summer’s sculpture signals a feat likely unsurpassed anywhere in the world. Undaunted by the size and weight of the 20-ton “Cloud City,” a stainless steel structure by Argentinian sculptor Tomas Saraceno, Keesee is having the piece transported to Green Mountain Falls to grace the 2013 festival. For now, Keesee has loaned the piece to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan where he lives. While Keesee’s townhome was not in the path of Superstorm Sandy, he was unable to attend the coming-out party Oct. 29 due to the airport’s closure.
The back patio at the Outlook Lodge in Green Mountain Falls features an outdoor dining and gas fire pit.

The Samuels sold the lodge to Kay Ma- t son and, from there the trail of information a t gets murky. v Over the past 20 years, the lodge has a had a variety of owners, one of whom lost P the building to foreclosure.

Christian Keesee’s Outlook Lodge in Green Mountain Falls is the ideal place for famil reunions, weddings and corporate retreats.
Designers at Christian Keesee’s Outlook Lodge have comfort as well as luxury in mind when decorating every room in the main house as well as the adjoining carriage house.

On Nov. 7 10 Teller Trekkers hiked the Putney Gulch trail to the Horse Thief Park area near Pikes Peak and Cripple Creek. The Trekkers wandered a little bit on the return trip but had a beautiful blue-sky day for hiking. Total distance hiked was around 7 miles with about a 1,700 elevation gain and total hiking time was a little over 4 hours. This will probably be the last hike for the season but, as always that depends on the weather. Courtesy photo by Mark Ellingson

Public safety tax a victory for sheriff ’s department Tax will help put more deputies on street and jail and fund other urgent needs By Lisa Collacott

A sales tax increase that would help fund critical needs of the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office has passed with voters. Voters passed 1A, the public safety tax, with nearly 61 percent of the vote. The passing of 1A is expected to generate at least $17 million and will fund putting additional deputies on patrol and in the jail, replace obsolete equipment, cover jail maintenance costs and help with increasing food, fuel and mandatory medical costs. Citizens will pay twenty-three hundredths ($0.0023) of one cent per dollar which will go into effect Jan. 1. Maketa said he was shocked by the response of citizens and said that history has shown that if it passed it would be by a narrow margin. “To see it first flash at 64 percent, that was pleasantly shocking. Very pleasantly shocking,” Maketa said. “It really sent a message that we put together a program that the tax payers understood and that they believed in.” Sheriff Terry Maketa approached the El Paso County Board of County Commissioners during a special meeting in August about the need for a tax increase and commissioners approved the ballot measure to go to voters during the Sept. 6 BOCC meet-
ing giving the sheriff only two months to try to convince citizens of the urgent need. Maketa said one of the criticisms that came up was that there was not enough time to get the message out and there was no public process. “My argument was (that) I’ve been giving this same message for four years. It’s been four years of process and I think the voters demonstrated that. They have been listening, they have been paying attention and also I’ve responded to the feedback that I’ve gotten in the past couple attempts and framed this to meet their expectations,” Maketa added. Maketa said the sheriff’s office plans to start hiring new deputies in January and civilian positions immediately. The plan is to have two or three law enforcement academies and one lateral move academy. The academies are 22 weeks long so Maketa said they might phase the academies in or possibly overlap them. “I anticipate a lot of positions in the process of being filled or being filled by the end of January. We are going to be really aggressive. Our existing workforce really needs the support,” Maketa said. The sheriff’s office wants to be a transparent department and wants to be able to show online what the citizen’s tax dollars are being spent on.

Election a bah-humbug for commissioners By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews.com Two days after President Barack Obama was re-elected, Teller County commissioners looked downcast as they entered the meeting room in Centennial Hall. Seizing the opportunity in the time reserved for board reports Nov. 8, Bill Buckhanan and Dave Paul let loose. “Since I have the floor, I’d like to voice my disappointment in the American people in the election on Tuesday,” Buckhanan said. “I could go on but think I’ll stop right there.” Dave Paul added, “I was disappointed, too. I guess we’ll refer to it as losing forward, whether we want to or not,” he said. “I was disappointed, too, that we
don’t have a Republican House of Representatives in Colorado.” For Paul, the Democratic majority in the Colorado House poses potential conflicts when it comes to seeking grants and other financial nods by the state legislature for Teller County. “Right out of the block, let’s start building the relationships we’re going to need to defend ourselves,” Paul said, referring to relationships that can thrust Teller County’s needs to the forefront of state legislators. “I’ll just leave it at that.” Commission chair Jim Ignatius, whose second term ends in January, offered his best wishes. “It is going to be a challenge at the state level because this is going back to when Gov. Bill Ritter took office, the House, the Senate and the governor’s office
were held by one party,” he said. “Regardless of what side that is, it makes it very difficult, if you’re on the opposing side, to get stuff done. You’ve got to definitely build relationships. But it’s been done before, so good luck, gentlemen.” Buckhanan and Ignatius are both term-limited and will be replaced in January by Republicans Norm Steen and Marc Dettenrieder. According to a report by J.J. Jamison, the county’s clerk and recorder, 61 percent of registered voters cast their ballots in the general election. Of 19,945 registered voters in Teller County, 12,234 people voted. “The number was lower than I expected,” Jamison said.
PPRTA tax extension passes By Lisa Collacott
lcollacott@ourcoloradonews. com Voters in El Paso County gave their approval to extend a tax for 10 more years that helps pay for bridges and roads. Eighty percent of voters were in favor of extending the sales and use tax that funds the Pikes Peak Rural Transportation Authority capital program which will begin in 2015 and sunset in 2024. The current tax was approved by voters in 2004 and will sunset on Dec. 31, 2014. With the extension citizens
Silver in the hills north of Woodland Park In the rush to Cripple Creek, other areas claimed to have gold prospects just as good. In 1891 they found gold in Ute Pass as well as Woodland Park. In 1892 the area around Manitou Park was next. Manitou Park had already become known as a resort, with hotel and several dozen cabins, fish pond, and even a race track! A mine was started after a sample of fine ore was found a few miles north of Woodland Park. The camp, named the Manitou Park District, was 8-square miles, bordered on the east by the granite hills and the west by the stream running along near the old railway line. The discoveries ran about 4 miles through the district. The first exploration was at the Leonetti Claim. It was located by Jack Templeton and others in about 1890. It was abandoned until the spring of 1892. A Mr. Jenson of Colorado City reopened the workings. Gold and silver were found and, as the hole was
deepened, more silver was found. The hole went down about 100 feet. Several other prospect holes were started during the summer and several more were started in the fall. Names like, The Lizzie W., Savage, Red Bug, Robins Nest, Orphan Girl, Teller and Colorado City were a few of the claim names. The camp was busy as winter approached. Investments were the next order of business. Stock in the Leonetti was set for $1 million at $1 a share. Many prominent Colorado Springs businessmen invested in the claim and

stock was offered at ten cents a share to build a mill to process the ores found. An excursion on the Colorado Midland to Woodland Park and carriage rides to the camp were set up in December. Some 60 people made the trip. The group arrived at Woodland about noon and rode in wagons the 4 miles to the camp. The group went into the Leonetti and inspected it, along with the stock pile of ready ore. Wagons with the ore were ready to be taken to the railroad later in the week. Plans were also ready to build a generator and install electric lights in the mine. The group visited several other prospect holes up to 25-feet deep. Through the winter the mines worked continually, but unless you are new to the area, you may wonder about this camp. It seems that it was very short lived, as were the camps in Ute Pass.

Local parks are better when residents have a voice in their planning and development. This is why El Paso County is proud to announce the launch of PlanUpdate-ElPasoCountyParks.com, an online forum allowing residents the ability to influence the El Paso County Parks Master Plan. Pl a n Up d a t e - E l Pa s o CountyParks is being used by El Paso County Parks staff and a master plan committee of citizens along with GreenPlay, LLC., a parks and recreation management consulting firm, to comprehensively address the needs of parks, trails, open space and recreation services to update and revitalize the county parks master plan. The parks master plan is a guiding document that works with other county plans to maximize outdoor
recreation opportunities such as parks and trails, to ensure the long-term protection of open space and to allocate resources to facilities and services that citizens value. “We’re using the site to gather input from a larger more diverse cross-section of people who may not otherwise attend public meetings,” Elaine Kleckner, community services department planning manager, said. “Feedback is vital to this process. If the planning team and community leaders don’t have a clear understanding of what residents want from their parks it’s unlikely that the park system will evolve to meet the vision of the people.” The site gives participants the opportunity to suggest ideas for parks, share perspectives and provide recommendations on topics relevant to the plan from any computer.

First African-American academy graduate dies Special to The Tribune The first African-American to graduate from the Air Force Academy has died. Charles Vernon Bush, Class of 1963, died at his home in Lolo, Mont. Nov. 5 after battling colon cancer. He was 72. Bush reported as a cadet in June 1959. He distinguished himself as a squadron commander, a member of the academy’s debate Charles Vernon team and a member of the Bush Cadet Wing champion rugby team. After graduating in 1963 Bush received his Master of Arts degree in International Relations from Georgetown University in June 1964 and was inducted into the Georgetown chapter of Pi Sigma Alpha, the National Political Science Honor Society. He attended Air Intelligence Officers School and served at Westover Air Force Base where he taught undergraduate political science courses at American International College. Bush became fluent in the Vietnamese language at Sanz Language School. He was assigned to Vietnam in 1967 as an intelligence officer. In Vietnam he was responsible for the deployment and operations of six intelligence teams operating from a number of sites including Saigon, Bien Hoa, Nha Trang, Pleiku, Da Nang and Can Tho. The teams were involved with significant intelligence operations, particularly involving the attack on Tan Son Nhut Air Base during the Tet Offensive of 1968 and
the defense of the Marines and South Vietnamese at the Battle of Khe Sanh. After he returned Bush was assigned to Headquarters Air Force Special Projects Production Facility at Westover AFB. He resumed teaching political science courses at American International College. In 1970 Bush resigned his commission and attended Harvard Business School majoring in finance. He spent the rest of his professional career in numerous business enterprises serving as manager and senior corporate executive. Included among his many distinguished business and academic activities Bush was an Academy Falcon Foundation Trustee and a guest lecturer at the academy’s department of management. He was a diversity consultant for both the Air Force and Air Force Academy. Bush received many accolades in both his military and civilian careers. While in the Air Force he received the Bronze Star Medal, Joint Services Commendation Medal, Air Force Commendation Medal with one oak leaf cluster and the Air Force Outstanding Unit Award. “The United States Air Force Academy is saddened to learn of the passing of one our most notable graduates, Chuck Bush,” academy Superintendent Lt. Gen. Mike Gould said. “Our hearts go out to Tina, Chip, Kyra, Bettina and all of the Bush family.” “A member of the Class of 1963 and the first African-American graduate, Mr. Bush’s courage and commitment to enhancing diversity in the United States military will pay itself forward for many generations,” Gould added. “The academy family is truly proud to call Mr. Chuck Bush one of our own.”

Garner top of the line for Woodland Park By Danny Summers
sports@ourcoloradonews.com WOODLAND PARK - Caelen Garner might not have been the biggest, fastest or strongest guy on the Woodland Park High School football team this fall. But he was arguably the most durable. In a season filled with injuries, Garner was the rock on the offensive and defensive lines, and somebody that Panthers coach Joe Roskam could count on. “Some teams game planned for him,” Roskam said. “You know a guy’s a good player when teams run away from him.” Garner, a senior, has been selected as the Courier View’s Football player of the year. A two-year starter, he led the team in solo tackles (30) while playing defensive end. He was also a key component in the running game at right tackle. “Caelen is a worker,” Roskam said. “He just does his job. He’s a leader by example.” Garner (6-foot-2, 215 pounds) was some-
what undersized at his positions for Class 3A, but he made up for his lack of size with intensity and a relentless desire to achieve. “Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work,” Garner said. “I liked defense the best. You get to fly around and hit people.” Football has been Garner’s passion for a long time. “I started playing flag football in second grade,’ he said. “As far as I can remember I was a lineman. In middle school I was a blocking back, and I played a little quarterback. But I should have been on the line. I was a better lineman.” Garner, as much as any player on the team, had high expectations coming into this season. The Panthers were 5-5 in 2011. They won just two games the previous two seasons. They were 3-7 this season. “I thought we’d be at least 7-3 this year,” Garner said. “We were working for a playoff spot, but sometimes things don’t play in your favor.”
Garner did all he could to keep a positive attitude as one teammate after another went down with serious injuries. In backto-back games in the middle of the season, senior quarterback Jacob Censner and senior wide receiver/defensive end Joe Callahan broke their legs, and junior running back/linebacker Weston Shutts was lost for the season with a knee injury. “You always expect to win,” Garner said. “You always have to have hope. You look for the brighter side.” Garner is also a member of the school’s wrestling team. Last year, wrestling at 215, he finished fifth at regionals - missing by one spot of advancing to state. “With wrestling you can focus on more on yourself than having to trust other people,” he said. “It’s still a team sport, but you wrestle for yourself.” Garner would like to play college football. “I definitely am hoping,” he said. “Maybe Division II?”
QUICK HITS SIERACKI STEPS INTO TOP SPOT Keith Sieracki has taken over as the head wrestling coach at Woodland Park High School, replacing Bill Barron. Seiracki previously was an assistant under Barron. Sieracki, 40, brings with him a wealth of experience that includes an 18-year career as a member of the U.S. Army wrestling program. He retired in 2008 after finishing third at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials. He won the trials in 2000 and 2004. He also operates Sieracki’s Mat Masters Wrestling based in Colorado Springs. BERTRAND TO DOUBLE UP Cripple Creek-Victor athletic director Jim Bertrand is a
coach for all seasons. And apparently nearly all teams. Bertrand, the school’s football coach, has also been Pioneers’ boys basketball coach for 11 seasons. This winter he will double up as the girls basketball coach. He will be working closely with Michelle Eastman, who he hopes will transition into the job full time. Last spring, Bertrand took over the baseball program for a week while John Thompson dealt with medical issues. Scott Davies eventually became the head baseball coach and is set to return in that capacity in 2013. HILL CLIMB REGISTRATION OPEN Three defending champions are among 46 competitors who
registered during the first week of the application process for the 2013 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. The race is set for Sunday, June 30. The registration process for the event continues until January 14, 2013. The 2012 champions who have registered are Spencer Steele (Denver) Open Wheel Auto; Doug Siddens (Austin, Texas) Exhibition Powersports Autos; and Jason Archuleta (Colorado Springs) 250 CC Motorcycles. Other top drivers and riders also registered include Greg Chicoine (Jefferson, S.D.) 2nd place, 450 CC Motorcycles; and Steve Goeglein (Falcon) 2nd place Super Stock Car. This summer, 83 automobiles and 87 motorcycles competed in the Hill Climb. A
total of 11 new records were set by drivers and racers from 14 countries. COX BROTHERS TO DOUBLE UP IN 2013 Woodland Park freshman Matt Cox started three games at quarterback this year after senior Jacob Censner broke his leg. Cox also saw significant time at running back and kick returner. Cox’s younger brother, Christian, is an eighth grader and was the quarterback for the Woodland Park Middle School team. “He’s going to be a good player, just like his brother,” Woodland Park football coach Joe Roskam said of the younger Cox. “It will be fun to have them both here next year.”

Teammates share top volleyball honors By Danny Summers
sports@ourcoloradonews.com WOODLAND PARK - If Elin Saxon and Paloma Juarros had their druthers, they would have been at the Denver Coliseum last weekend playing for a state volleyball title. The Woodland Park High School duo did their part in helping the Panthers to a solid season on the court. That’s why they have been selected as the Courier View’s co-Volleyball players of the year. “It was a big realization when it was all over,” Saxon said about her high school career coming to an end. “It really hit me when we were at our banquet.” Saxon, a 5-foot-11 senior, played middle blocker and helped the Panthers to a 10-13 overall record. She led the team in blocks (43) and digs (205), and was third in kills (119). “I liked getting the blocks and kills, but I also liked getting the digs and the floor burns,” Saxon said. Saxon was a three-year starter and an important cog in the Panthers- up-tempo style this season. “Elin was just a good team leader on and off the court,” said Woodland Park coach Stacy Roshek. “She stayed positive and you knew you could trust her.” Saxon hopes to continue her volleyball career in college. This winter, however, she will be a
starting wing for the school’s basketball team. “I’m looking forward to the basketball season,” she said. “I think we’re going to be improved.” Juarros may have been the most important player on the volleyball court at any one time for the Panthers. A junior setter, Juarros was like the quarterback on offense. “I learned to take charge more,” Juarros said. “I think we gained a lot more confidence as a team. Our offense grew a lot.” Juarros, a two-year starter, had 387 assists and just 35 errors. She was fourth on the team in digs (125) and third in blocks (13). She missed three games late in the season due to a concussion. Junior Josi Westberg took over in her absence. “It was really hard to just sit there and watch,” said Juarros, who plays club ball for Colorado Classix in Monument. “Josi did a great job. She took charge. But I still wanted to be in there.” Juarros (5-9) is part of a strong junior class that includes outside hitters Carli Vahsholtz, Linnea Sauer and Alexa Garrick. “We have some good outsides and our defense will be really good next year,” said Juarros, who maintains a 3.5 GPA. Juarros is hoping to play volleyball in college. “My dream school is (University of Arizona),” she said with a smile.

GMF delays decision on trustee By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews.com As the nation re-elected the president, the Green Mountain Falls’ board of trustees tabled a decision to fill a vacancy on the board. However, the three candidates were put on the proverbial hot seat in public interviews Nov. 6. While Michael Butts and David Cook named the municipal budget as the main issue facing the board, Margaret Peterson
considered the rebuilding of Town Hall as the key to moving ahead in 2013. The three agreed that maintaining the small-town character of the town is vital while, at the same time, increasing the economic viability was just as important. Each is vying for the position vacated by Scott Useman, who resigned this summer. Useman’s term is up in April 2014. Acknowledging the difficulty of making a quick decision, the board voted to select one of the three candidates at the meeting
Dec. 4, with the winner sworn into office in January. Trustees Howard Price, Mac Pitrone, Jane Newberry and Ralph LoCascio carried the vote while Mayor Lorrie Worthey and trustee Tyler Stevens voted against the delay. After two budget sessions, the board faces a $40,000 shortfall to reach a balance of $440,699,000. The final budget workshop, which is open to the public, is at 6:30 p.m. Nov. 26. In an unrelated issue, the board voted to approve a request from the Green Mountain Land & Cattle Company, dba as the
Outlook Lodge, to purchase 1,380 square feet of right-of-way adjacent to the lodge. In a high-ball offer, the company proposed, and the board accepted, $5,257.80 for the property, plus the cost of the ordinance publication, the appropriate filing fee and the quit claim deed. The board agreed to delay the decision on allocating the funds. Noticeably absent from the meeting that evening was the live streaming, which, over the past few months, has divided the board. While the videographer, Doug Estrada, was in the audience, there was no mention of live-streaming.
