Christmas in the Gold Camp PHOTOS BY NORMA ENGELBERG The Sounds of Christmas filled the air during Gold Camp Christmas, starting with the Winter Wonderland Reception on Dec. 6 at the Aspen Mine Center in Cripple Creek where a harpist and Santa entertained the visitors and kicked off the event-filled fourday weekend. Events included two parades, a Parade of Lights in Victor on Dec. 7 and the Gold Camp Christmas Parade at noon the fol-
lowing day in Cripple Creek. There were also bazaars in both cities, the Church in the Wildwood Bell Choir, Colorado Springs Chorale and the holiday community theater production of “A Cripple Creek Christmas Carol” at the Butte Theater. The events also included several different kinds of food; everything from S’mores roasting marshmallows prepared over burning barrels on Bennett Avenue to the annual Soup for the Soul and Cookie Contest and the community spaghetti dinner.

Approves budget, pot, domestic fowl ordinances By Norma Engelberg
nengelberg@ourcoloradonews.com The last regular Woodland Park City Council meeting of 2012 was all about
budgets, birds and bud. First up for council was appointing Tanner Coy, president of Tweeds Fine Furnishings, to the Downtown Development Authority board. The POSTAL ADDRESS
other applicant to fill the seat vacated by Jennette Brown in October, Realtor Scott Davis, did not meet the qualifications for the position. Two ordinances were approved on ini-
tial posting. The first was an amendment to the public-notice requirements streamlining and standardizing the city’s public notification timelines for many cases going before the city’s planning commission, council or board of adjustment. Public notice requirements for subdivision development permits and zoning changes, for example, ranged anywhere from 5 to 15 days. Council continues on Page 9

Fire danger remains in winter McAfee detained in Guatemala By Pat Hill
Cooler weather helps, drier weather doesn’t

After a summer of major fires and another winter that’s shaping up so far to be drier and warmer than usual, a lot of people are wondering what they can do now to mitigate the chances of a wildfire next summer. One thing they can do is call their local fire department and ask for a fuels mitigation inspection on their property. “We have limited funds,” said Jim Lee, firefighter, emergency medical technician and station manager at Divide Volunteer Fire Department’s Shoemaker Station. “But we would be happy to come out to your property and help you figure out the best way to make your property more defensible during a wildfire.” Candy Shoemaker of Cripple Creek Emergency Medical Response said Cripple Creek Fire and Northeast Teller County Fire Protection District also offer property inspections. Creating defensible space around a home can save that home during a wildfire when firefighters look at properties to decide which homes can be saved. “We call it triage,” Lee said. “It’s hard but we have to do it to use our limited resources wisely.” Lee added that winter is a good time of year to prepare for next summer by cleaning up slash around the property. If the county does get some snow, that would be a good time to do some permitted burning, Lee said. “Make sure you get a permit from the sheriff’s office,” he said. “And make sure
you call the sheriff’s office before you burn. Even if they’ve issued you a permit, that doesn’t mean every day will be a good day to burn. Calling before you start notifies the sheriff’s office about the smoke people will be sure to call in and the office can tell you if that day is a safe day to burn.” “Be careful,” said Divide fire medical Capt. Mike McFain. “Fire danger isn’t as high in winter because of the cold but it’s really dry out there.” Winter is also a good time to put emergency supplies in order, including the family’s evacuation or go bag, which is filled with a 72-hour supply of items needed if the family has to evacuate during an emergency. This should include important paperwork, spending cash, medications, clothing, easy to carry food items. For more information and a checklist, visit www. readycolorado.com. “For general information about defensible space go to Firewise.org,” McFain said. “It’s a national website and doesn’t narrow things down to the local level but it’s a good place to start.”
Former Woodland Park resident John McAfee, 67, remained in detention in Guatemala City, after fleeing his home in Belize, where he is wanted for questioning in the murder investigation concerning his neighbor, Gregory Faull. According to a Dec. 7 article in the Los Angeles Times, McAfee, who developed anti-virus software that carries his name, was hospitalized for chest pains after seeking asylum in Guatemala. His request was denied and according to the article, McAfee’s extradition has
been delayed. While living in a mansion in Woodland Park, McAfee opened a yoga and naturalhealing center. Author of “The Fabric of Self,” McAfee writes in the chapter titled “World: “We have created a world of conflict through our self-centered activities and, that world of conflict, in turn, has created self-centeredness in the individual. It is an unending circle. Our relationship to the world will continue to be one of conflict and illusion as long as we relate from our center of selfishness.” According to the LA Times article, McAfee was accompanied by his 20-yearold girlfriend.

Weather good for construction projects Authority to start planning for next year By Norma Engelberg
nengelberg@ourcoloradonews.com Warm and dry winter weather might not be good for the environment and next year’s fire danger but it has been good for local construction projects. Woodland Park Downtown Development Authority Executive Director Brian Fleer told the authority board at its Dec. 4 regular meeting that because of the warmer temperatures and lack of precipitation, the Family Dollar store at Tamarac Center, next to Gold Hill Square South, is on track to open before New Year. The Woodland Hardware project at Woodland Station is also benefitting from the mild

“If Woodland Park could be named to the Main Street program that would open up state historic funding for redevelopment of the downtown with a historic perspective,” he said. For more information about Main Street, visit http:// www.preservationnation.org/main-street/. “We’re also talking about forming a mural program,” Brovetto said. “We’ll be looking at buildings as potential targets for murals. … Murals bring character to the town.” Woodland Park City Manager David Buttery said there is a small amount of money set aside in the city’s 2013 budget for murals. The next Downtown Development Authority meeting is at 7:30 a.m. on Jan. 8. The monthly meeting is usually on the first Tuesday of each month but the first Tuesday in January is New Year’s Day.

weather, he said. Fleer also talked to the board about an upcoming retreat. Because more than two board members will be present, the retreat, scheduled for Jan. 28 and probably at Sturman Industries, will be posted as a public meeting according to state sunshine rules. The purpose behind the retreat is to introduce new board members into the group and to talk about a 12-month strategic plan. “I am happy about this board,” Fleer said. “There is a lot of passion here; a lot of passion for the community. Our objective is to bring the board’s energy into our planning. We have a very active year coming up.” Gary Brovetto, Woodland Park City Council liaison to the authority board, serves as council liaison to the city’s Historic Preservation Committee. He told the board that the committee is exploring the Main Street program.

The normally mild-tempered Jim Ignatius is so concerned about the county’s budget he can’t contain his anger these days. In a second public blasting of the clerk and recorder, J.J. Jamison, Teller County commission chair explained the change of temperament. “The reason I brought this up again is that we got taken to the woodshed three years ago when we had issues with Kevin Dougherty, our sheriff at the time, because we felt like we could handle it internally,” Ignatius said at the meeting Dec. 6. “We will be transparent, accountable, focused on service levels and outcomes; that’s the reason this was brought up two weeks ago.” While the issues with Dougherty were more personality differences, with Jamison, it’s fiscal, he said. “We’re already up to $263,655, which means it’s going to be more frustrating next year in order to accomplish what we can’t accomplish this year,” Ignatius said, referring to expenses incurred in the general election. “We don’t have a contingency fund when elected officials don’t do their job.” In chastising the clerk once again, Ignatius cited three outside reports, including one from Scott Gessler, the Secretary of State, on Jamison’s inability to perform her duties. “These are outside experts looking
Kim Mauthe, second from right, executive director of the Teller County Department of Social Services, paid tribute to her staff for their skill at maneuvering the cumbersome Colorado Benefits Management System, CBMS. While each claim takes two days to process, Mauthe’s staff has been honored by the state of Colorado for its 95 percent timely completion rate. Mauthe made the announcement at the Teller County commissioners’ meeting Dec. 6. Photo by Pat Hill down on what the deficiencies are with the leadership in that department,” Ignatius said. Gessler’s office took over the election responsibilities of the clerk’s office after the primary election in June. In addition to the additional expense of the election, the finance department has had to step in and reconcile the books related to license-plate and specific-ownership fees collected by the clerk’s office. As a result, some bills have not been paid, Ignatius said, adding that the
actual amounts would be revealed publicly this month. “This is costing us a fortune, breaking the bank of Teller County,” Ignatius said. “The public needs to know about what’s happening in the clerk’s office.” The county’s budget for 2013 at $26,008,674 includes a reduction in funding capital-road projects. As well, the county’s budget will be negatively affected in 2014-2015 with the anticipated reduction of property-tax revenue, a result of the flat economy.
Pre-trial confinement ordered for AFA cadet Special to The Tribune and Courier U.S. Air Force Academy
On Dec. 3, an Air Force Academy Squadron Commander ordered pretrial confinement for a cadet involving a new allegation of misconduct in violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. The commander ordered Cadet Second Class (Junior) Jamil D. Cooks to pre-trial confinement in the Teller County Jail to preclude any potential threat to himself or others. On Sept. 18, 2012, Cooks had two charges preferred against him.
Charge one has one specification of violating Article 80 for attempted sodomy. Charge two has three specifications of violating Article 120, one for aggravated sexual assault and two for aggravated sexual contact. The Air Force Office of Special Investigations is invesJamil D. Cooks tigating the new allegation. At this time, charges are merely accusations. The accused in each case is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
An Article 32 hearing for Cooks from the Sept. 18 charges is currently scheduled for Dec. 18, 2012. An Article 32 hearing is the military equivalent to a civilian grand jury proceeding. An investigating officer presides over an Article 32 hearing and submits his or her report of the proceedings with recommendations to the Cadet Wing Commandant as Special Court-Martial Convening Authority. The Commandant will then decide whether to dismiss the case, recommend it go to a General Court-Martial, or dispose of the case through some other disciplinary or administrative action.

Study designed to create Sturman buzz By Pat Hill

GED is a hand up By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews. com In a capitalistic system that can be brutal on those without an education, the people who teach GED classes are passionate about helping kids gain a foothold in the new economy. “These kids have given up and then realize they can have success in their lives,” said Larry Black, volunteer teacher for the program at Community Partnership Family Resource Center in Divide. “They’ve had too many negative strikes against them and with this one-on-one format we form a bond which gives them a sense that somebody cares about them.” Black cared enough about 17-year-old Billy Scott that the boy is close to earning his certificate. “I was not focused on school at all,” Scott said. “It’s hard to find a job without an education.” Scott is one of 175 teenagers and adults who earned certification through the program initiated six years ago. To make college appear less threatening, the curriculum includes a tour of Pikes Peak Community College. “I’ll probably get into mechanics at the college,” Billy said. “It would make me happy.” Judy Ivory, coordinator of the adult-education program, and Elaine Gould,
who initiated the program and stayed on as a volunteer, oversee the curriculum. “Elaine has been so dedicated we feel strongly there wouldn’t be a GED program without her,” Ivory said. Gould added, “Judy and I have been partners in this since Day One.” Brianna Kornylak, 17, is a vivacious teenager who has blossomed under Ivory’s and Gould’s guidance. “I was nervous about coming here because I thought it would be just like school,” Kornylak said. “But it just feels comfortable and you can go at your own pace and not feel rushed.” In Kornylak’s case, peer pressure is a motivator. “Bianca, one of my best friends, got her GED here and now she has a really good job,” she said. “Another friend is a certified nurse’s assistant (CNA), just bought a car and lives in his own apartment.” Ultimately, Brianna wants to be a nurse. “I’m obsessed right now to do all the things my friends are doing,” she said. Brianna’s story is one that acts as messenger for the partnership’s mission. “I would love for every student to get a high-school diploma but, if they can’t, we are such an important safety net,” Ivory said. “More and more we are seeing non-traditional students who have been in the workforce but were laid off.” While there is no tu-
Trustees balk, clerk records donations By Pat Hill

Clearly exasperated, Green Mountain Falls’ mayor Lorrie Worthey sought the advice of the town attorney Dan Stuart at the board meeting Dec. 4. At issue was the trustees’ failure to agree on a candidate to fill the vacancy left by the resignation of Scott Useman in July. For the past several months, candidates Michael Butts, David Cook and Margaret Peterson have been in limbo waiting for a board decision. Butts and
Cook were in the audience that evening. Hoping for a solution Worthey initiated a call to Stuart who suggested the trustees come to an agreement that night or do nothing and maintain the status quo, with the vacancy intact. In what must surely be a precedent, the call to Stuart failed to resolve the impasse when trustees Howard Price, Mac Pitrone, Jane Newberry and Ralph LoCascio declined to secure four votes for a candidate. Trustees continues on Page 9
ition, students are asked to pay $20 to register, $30 for remedial classes and $150 to take the GED test, an increase this year. “We would never make money a reason somebody couldn’t come here,” Ivory said. In a time when the recession and the dynamic nature of the job market impacts employment statistics, the partnership fills gaps. This year’s GED program was funded by a $10,000 grant from the Adolph Coors Foundation. The funds run out in January. For information, call 686-0705.
Jaquline Bullard
Jaquline “Jackie” Bullard was born April 21, 1961 in Marysville, Kansas where she lived until her family moved to Michigan where she graduated high school and then married Ron Bullard on Aug 8, 1981. They later moved around until they landed in Woodland Park, CO in 1995. She later became a stay at home mom to her 4 children while playing a major role in operating the Historic Triple B Ranch in Woodland Park, CO. She enjoyed being a wife, mother, grandmother, fishing, four wheeling, being with animals, and spending time with loved ones. She was preceded in death by her father, Robert Charles Martin. Jackie is survived by her mother, 2 sisters, 3 brothers, husband, Ron Bullard and 4 children: Cortney and Aaron Smith, Travis and Alisha Bullard, Justine Bullard, and Kelly Bullard. As well as 4 grandchildren: McKenzie, Aiden, Kieley, and Jace, and multiple cousins, nieces and nephews. Jackie passed away Nov. 24, 2012 after a long battle with Melanoma. Contributions to a memorial fund in honor of Jackie Bullard can be made at Park State Bank in place of flowers.
A pilot study intended to elicit the wow! factor among the general public about sustainability and the Sturman digital valve is about changing the message. “You lose your audience if you try to go into an in-depth technological explanation of the subject,” said Allison Frederick, who is doing the research for a master’s degree in corporate sustainability from Harvard University. As Sturman’s energyAllison Frederick saving innovations are recognized worldwide by the automotive industry, the average person is unaware of the revolutionary aspect of the digital-valve technology. Frederick’s paper is about creating a “buzz” around the company based in Woodland Park. As a pilot study, the paper has universal appeal for other businesses as well. “I want to focus less on the technology aspect of the digital-valve fuel injection which is not in the every-day person’s vocabulary,” Frederick said. However, if a driver in California were
told that modernizing the controls of an engine would make it easier to pass emission standards, for instance, perhaps the issue would resonate, Frederick said. In California, where highways are choked with traffic, inhaling the exhaust would be removed with the digital-valve technology. “I can connect with that,” Frederick said. Frederick relates the study to the Intel television commercial that created a buzz about the chip. “I wanted a computer with the Intel chip in it even though I didn’t know what it was,” she said. “It’s that kind of model we are aiming for. We don’t have to understand how the technology works.” While more than 14 million Sturman digital valves have been manufactured for the control of fuel injectors since 2002, the buzz is about a grassroots effort to save the planet. In addition to the valve, other companies are introducing innovations in wind and solar. “People will gravitate to what they understand,” Frederick said. “Sturman has the technology to broaden the market base. This is the first step in a new direction for Sturman to help people, including municipalities, to understand the benefit and value of the technology.” Frederick presents the paper next month.

Paperboy: Those who can afford it the least, most generous The ice and snow was melting fast enough that three inches of water ran below the white crust in the low spots of the street. Step off a curb in low-topped shoes or boots, and a person ran the risk of filling shoes with water. But the temperature was dropping fast and it would all be ice again by sundown. The 12-year-old newspaper carrier was trying get all his papers delivered Friday afternoon, Christmas Eve. And He wanted to still drop off a few calculated Christmas cards to soft-touch subscribers that might pop for a tip now that the temperature was dropping with the setting sun. He knew he looked cold enough, right now, that the German lady was good for at least a cinnamon roll. But he might have to pick the raisins out. The paper boy wanted to leave enough
shacks lined one side of the street near the river but an open field on the other side marked where the narrow gauge tracks for the `Galloping Goose’ once ran. Most of the tracks had been pulled up sometime in the `50s. In a few out of the way places, like Lost Canyon, you could still pick up spikes and telegraph insulators. Tony Martinez, one of his subscribers on Railroad Avenue, invited him in one of the shacks and gave him five bucks. Candles burned in the holiday spirit in a small religious shrine. When he left Tony’s, he angled back through the real hard-luck section where the old Victorians were nearly falling down from neglect. Some of them were missing newel posts and had holes in the porch floors. Behind one of these rotting relics, his
time to go by the hardware store before it closed to get a hot cup of Joe. All the high school kids that worked there would either be shoveling snow on the warehouse docks, or salting ice back near the gas meter. They always offered coffee but warned him that it would stunt his growth. He slogged on through the soggy, icy streets into the poor part of town -- not that any of it was very rich. Low-roofed shotgun
newest customer lived and he had to navigate past Jake, a particularly menacing Black Labrador. Show no fear. Growl back. Stand tall, and be prepared to run if that didn’t work. But today, Jake didn’t think biting him was worth getting his feet wet. The building looked like it had been a two-car, detached garage converted into single-family dwelling. And these folks had five or six grubby, curtain-climbers stuffed into there, all gathered around the wood stove. They invited him also, and gave him an army-surplus wool scarf, his best gift to date. Isn’t it interesting that those that looked like they could afford it the least, were the most generous. The paper boy thought about that, and waddled, wet-duck style, toward home through the soggy, freezing streets.
Government gift ideas Fitness trends 2013 I’m a sucker for gift shops, especially those attached to museums, hospitals, railway stations, airports and visitors centers. I love these gift shops because they’re so eclectic; you never know what you’re going to find in them and half the fun is in the browsing. This is just as true of brick and mortar shops as it is of online shops. Of course, it’s always best to support local gift shops first but some of my favorite online gift shops are attached to U.S. and state government agencies. Where else can you get such items as inflatable space shuttles, Drug Enforcement Administration and FBI (both Full Blooded Italian and Federal Bureau of Investigation) baseball caps and Central Intelligence Agency playing cards? The Library of Congress Gift Shop, which isn’t all about books, is a great place to start. You can find everything from Banned Book bracelets and “Legal Latin” ties to “Little Bookworm” T-shirts for toddlers and World War II plane-spotter playing cards. That inflatable space shuttle is from the Kennedy Space Center gift shop, www. thespaceshop.com, where you can also get National Aeronautics and Space Administration mission patches. Also check out www.spaceshoponline.com for the Goddard Space Center and www.shopnasa.com for the Jet Propulsion Lab. The CIA playing cards are at The White House Gift Shop, www.whitehousegiftshop.com. This shop also has Air Force One hoodies, busts of past presidents, presidential apparel for the entire family and a presidents’ collector baseball. The U.S. Government Printing Office, bookstore.gpo.gov, is a great place to shop for books, pamphlets, posters and magazine gift subscriptions, including everything from Civil War battle guides to National Park posters and a subscription to the Marine Fisheries Review. Some of the printing office titles might seem a bit bor-

The results of the 2013 American College of Sports Medicine Worldwide Survey of Fitness Trends is in and a newcomer to the Top 10 list, but a form of resistance training that has been around for centuries, Body Weight Training has come roaring onto the scene in the No. 3 spot. In their seventh annual worldwide survey, the college garnered 3,346 responses to their questionnaire from just about every continent on the planet. First the bad news: for the third consecutive year Pilates, Stability Ball and Balance Training failed to make the top-25 trends relegating them to the category of fads and not trends. Snagging the No. 1 spot for the sixth year in a row is Educated, Certified and Experienced Fitness Professionals. There has been an exponential growth of educational programs at colleges and universities with the U.S. Labor Department predicting that jobs for fitness professionals will rise much faster than the average for all other occupations. Strength Training grabbed the No. 2 slot for the second year in a row showing that it continues to be a strong trend. Most who are exercising incorporate some form of weight training to improve or maintain their muscle strength. At No. 3 is the newcomer Body Weight Training, which has the advantage of using minimal equipment such as the TRX and The Rack, includes push-ups, pull-ups, planks and squats. Exercise programs aimed at the problem of childhood obesity came in fourth as a major fitness trend. Exercise and Weight Loss pulled down the fifth slot with researchers saying that most popular diet plans incorporate exercise to encourage weight loss. And, Fitness Programs for Older Adults came in No. 6 as Health Clubs initiated more age-appropriate exercise programs. No. 7 is Personal Training as more and
more personal trainers become certified and are accessible outside of the gym in a variety of setting, such as corporate wellness programs and community-based and medical fitness programs. Functional Fitness, which came in as the eighth Top Trend, uses strength training to improve balance, coordination, force, power and endurance to perform the activities of daily living. Slipping onto the list at No. 9 is Core Training using equipment like Stability Balls and wobble boards to incorporate specific exercises to strengthen the stabilizing muscles of the body’s midsection. And rounding out the top ten fitness trends is Group Personal Training, an attractive alternative for the budget conscious where personal trainers provide services to small groups of two to four people at deep discounts. There you have it folks: what’s hot and what’s not in the world of fitness for 2013. Regardless of exercise trends and fads, my observation over three decades of being in the fitness industry is that the very best exercise is the one you will actually do. Be sure to choose a mode of exercise that you have time for, is convenient and that you have the skill set to execute. Do that and you too will experience the miracle of exercise.

YOUR VIEW Help U Club says thanks
As a member of the Help U Club, I would like to thank everyone who made our 30th annual bazaar the biggest success ever. First, I would like to thank Joan Tomlinson, our president and leader for all the time and effort she put into this event. Second, I would like to thank all the family members (husbands especially) who braved the cold and hard work to set up the event. Third, I would like to thank the generous donations for our silent auction including Century Casino, Bronco Billy’s, Double Eagle, and the Cheyenne Mountain Resort. A big thank you to all the merchants who allowed us to distribute fliers in their business: both Venture Foods, City Market, Mc-
Ginty’s, Divide Mercantile, Ancestral Arts and The Ute Pass Cultural Visitors Center. Our members are hardworking, giving ladies. Thanks to them and thanks to everyone for their support and generosity, because without your help, we would not be able to help those in need in our community! Judy Hummer Help U Club

Compassion not destroyed in GMF fire
Earlier this month, an astounding 24,311 Operation Christmas Child shoebox gifts were collected in the Colorado Springs Area, including Woodland Park and Buena Vista! The Operation Christmas Child Area Team would like to thank this amazingly generous community, for once again blessing children in need around the world. Samaritan’s Purse, the ministry that coordinated hundreds of volunteers to sift through the ashes of burned homes here this past summer, is the same organization that heads up Operation Christmas Child. The shoebox gifts contain small toys, school supplies, hygiene items and candy. The boxes from our area are already on their way to the Philippines, Mexico and native American reservations in Arizona. More than 9 million boxes from the rest of the United States and other sending countries will be heading to about 100 countries where children live in poverty and deep need. If readers missed the opportunity to do a shoe box gift, they may still participate by using Operation Christmas Child’s “Build-a-Box” tool online at www.samaritanspurse.org/ occ. Thank you, again, Colorado Springs, for blessing less fortunate children around the world! Sheila Cain, Area Coordinator Operation Christmas Child Colorado Springs

More funding needed for forest restoration
The Coalition for the Upper South Platte is actively working on many projects to protect the Upper South Platte Watershed and areas in our neighboring communities. CUSP has been working to restore the Hayman Fire burn scar since the largest fire in Colorado history ravaged our area, and we continue this work as we acknowledged the 10th anniversary of the fire throughout the year. As we move forward with restoration in the Hayman burn area, our resources are being stretched because we have stepped in to help our neighbors in the Waldo Canyon Fire save their properties, protect their water and guard their safety. CUSP was called upon to help with the Waldo Canyon Fire by the US Forest Service and other agencies with whom we have partnered with over the years on Hayman recovery projects because they know we
understand the work that needs to be done over time. Our community certainly understands that once the flames are out and the smoke has dissipated, the work of recovery and restoration has only just begun. We are taking the many lessons from the Hayman Fire and using them to help the community devastated by the Waldo Canyon Fire. We know how to do this and we know what to expect over time. Implementation just takes money… We really need your support as we look toward a very busy year working on Hayman restoration, Waldo Canyon recovery, and a variety of other initiatives designed to protect our water and sustain the beauty of our area. Please consider giving to CUSP through the Indy Give! Campaign at www.indygive.com/cusp. The campaign runs through midnight, December 31st, and donors who give $50 or more can choose from a variety of great, local rewards. The Cripple Creek and Victor Gold Mining Company has provided a generous matching grant opportunity for this campaign and we need YOUR help to meet that match! We truly appreciate your support at any level and could not continue this vital work without you. Wishing you and yours a wonderful holiday season and a happy New Year! Sincerely, The Coalition for the Upper South Platte www.uppersouthplatte.org www.indygive.com/cusp
About “Jamison excoriated” Courier Dec. 5; the infrequent use of the term “excoriated” hides its familiarity. Being that we are a “Field & Stream” county, many of us have seen the skinning of an animal or at least witnessed a carcass. Excoriated presumes death. JJ Jamison is not dead. Yes, her skin has been torn, her flesh has been exposed. Yet this scarring and disfigurement does not paint her whole portrait. For the last 25 plus years, her efforts on behalf of Teller County Salvation Army have been dedicated and laudable. She has helped grow us from a $2,500 a year organization to a $70,000 vital county emergency anthrope assistance resource. In reflecting on this, two biblical theories come to mind. First, is the “rock in the pocket” theory. He who is without sin cast the first stone. The second, the “thorn in the flesh” theory, is: Grace saved a wretch like me. Our hope and prayer for JJ Jamison, as well as for ourselves, is “May God who began the good work in all of us bring it to completion!” Peace. Mary Bielz Chairman, Teller County Salvation Army a brand communications agency

Dear Editor, It was with great sadness that I read the Courier article on the Zach Shaffer’s sentencing in the Nov. 28 edition. Lives and history were changed forever and the impact of Mr. Shaffer’s decision on Feb. 23 went far beyond town boundaries. The miracle of that early-morning destruction was that our dearest Town Hall neighbor, Barbara Gafford, was not injured and, due to the quick actions of her granddaughter Nicole and her Oak Street neighbors, taken to safety. Imagine how it must have felt to an 80-year-old woman waking to the sounds of that blast and to be covered with glass in her bed. Barbara’s safety and physical and mental healing from this event becomes part of the town’s legacy. Her family and countless friends rallied around her and for more than three months of her being displaced got her home and possessions reconstructed and ready for her return. She has been a community matriarch for more than 40 years and is our continued inspiration. This quiet, underlying compassion and unity is what we have in Green Mountain Falls that could not and will not be destroyed. Sincerely, Chris Frandina Town Clerk

Columbine Kids for Critters help homeless pets Project teaches community, service economics By Norma Engelberg
nengelberg@ourcoloradonews. com Columbine Elementary School fourth-grade teacher Claudia Miller has been teaching children the basics of economics through her Kids for Critters project for 18 years but this is the first year for
Columbine. She started the project back in Ohio, working with third-graders, and has also taught it at Summit Elementary School. She has two objectives for this service-learning project: to help children help the animals and to teach them basic economics and business concepts. “We’re looking at homeless animals as a community issue that the kids can actually do something about,” Miller said. “We also connect the project to the literature

we’re reading in the classroom.” As part of the project, the children make pet-related items that can be sold to raise funds for local shelters. “They each bring in ideas for products, either a prototype or a drawing,” Miller said. “The kids look at each product and ask certain questions (listed on a bulletin board as thinking caps) that will help them decide which products should sell the best.” These questions include: Does the product have emotional appeal? Will it benefit the animal? Does the class have the resources to produce the product? Are there any creative ways to change the product to make it sell better? Are they safe for the animal? Which thinking hat question will best apply to this product? This year the class decided to make 18 products. Once that decision was made, they created production teams and have two days to produce the items. While they work on the project they learn about such things as marketing and advertising, pricing, production, customer relations, supply and demand and, finally, assessment.
Caelen Hobson, 9, makes a bucket for people to store pet supplies. The bucket is one of the products the children in Claudia Miller’s fourth-grade class at Columbine Elementary School will sell to raise money to help local animal shelters. The children will sell their items from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. on Dec. 8 at City Market in Woodland Park and at the Columbine Holiday Shop and Craft show, Dec. 11-14. Proceeds for the sales will be given to local animal shelters and organizations, including Adopt-
able Animal Rescue Force, Mariah’s Promise, Teller County Regional Animal Shelter, Catamount Wildlife Center and the Sunshine Shelter in Salida, which housed pets for people during the Waldo Canyon Fire. Unsold items will also be donated to the shelters.
Mauter spreads holiday cheer By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews.com The stories were heartbreaking, wrenching enough that Teresa Mauter turned herself into Santa Claus. Struck by stories of adolescents and teenagers for whom Christmas was a time of sadness and longing, a time when receiving gifts was only a pipe dream, Mauter generated an ambiance of cheer. “My main thing is that every kid has a present,” she said. “We don’t have a lot of families doing things together up here. Kids have to work or go home and babysit their brothers and sisters.” Founder of the Pioneer Pride Holiday Celebration, Mauter is spending her days preparing for the second annual event Dec. 20 at the Cripple Creek/Victor High School. “I have a lot of elves,” she said. Wrapped in memories of last year’s party, Mauter plans on repeating the experience, except for the initial shock. “We had 170 students enrolled in the school and we served
The Ute Pass-Kiwanis Foundation contributed $700 toward the Pioneer Pride Holiday Celebration, a party for junior- and senior-high school students in southern Teller County.

155,” she said. “When that bell rang and I looked down the hall packed with students, I panicked.” A year later, Mauter is still in awe over the donations that poured in, enough that every child received a gift. “When you do things
for the right reason and truly from your heart, it works,” she said. “My goal is to give the kids something special.” Mauter’s enthusiasm has staying power and the same donors are returning to help fund this year’s celebration. Among them is
the Ute Pass-Woodland Park Kiwanis Foundation which contributed $700. “The mission of Kiwanis is to help children, either in the community or worldwide,” said John Todd, the club’s president. As well, the owners and family at Double JJ Painting sacrificed their own Christmas presents last year to provide food for the 155 teenagers; they’re on board again this year. The Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Co. donated $1,000, the RE-1 School District provides the activities bus for transportation and the Gold Belt Build a Generation donated funds for a cash-cube machine. To avoid the last-minute rush, Mauter keeps ahead of the game. “I shop all year,” she said. In a holiday season that can be harried and frenzied, the celebration for middleand high-school students is an interlude that packs an emotional boost. “The kids are so appreciative, that’s why the night is magical and fulfilling,” Mauter said. “You just sit in the corner and feel so blessed that we are able to help these kids.”

“We want to standardize the requirements for posting signs and sending letters to 10 days and to the previous week for newspaper notices,” said Planning Director Sally Riley. “Standardization helps everyone.” The second ordinance pertains to possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia by minors. Current city code prohibits the possession of marijuana by everyone regardless of age. The new ordinance, prompted by the passage of Amendment 64 legalizing possession of 1 ounce or less of marijuana by adults, will allow youths ticketed for marijuana offenses to be judged in municipal court or in teen court, if it is a first offense. Woodland Park Police Chief Bob Larson said age 18 is the cutoff between juvenile and adult crimes and that this ordinance will protect younger citizens by

keeping them out of the juvenile justice system whenever possible. Council also approved an emergency ordinance, creating a moratorium on licenses for businesses related to marijuana. The ordinance expires on July 1 and allows time for the state to decide how Amendment 64 will be implemented. There were two budget ordinances on the agenda, both approved by council. One adjusted expenditures in the 2012 budget, the other sets up the 2013 budget. By state law, local governments, including municipalities, counties and special districts must submit approved budgets to the state by Dec. 15. Finally, council approved the domestic fowl ordinance. Several councilmembers asked why the keeping of domestic fowl, including chickens, ducks, geese, pigeons and turkeys, needs to be regulated at all. “If people want to have chickens and their (neigh-

borhood) covenants allow it, just let them have chickens,” said Mayor Pro Tem Eric Smith. City attorney Erin Smith said that city code doesn’t specifically list what it calls “accessory uses” on private properties, such as dog houses, swing sets and other items that are considered “natural or normal” in an urban area. Under that definition, coops are not accessory uses and need to be added to the code. Eric Smith countered that keeping domestic fowl is allowed in Denver, Colorado Springs and other areas of the state and more
and more across the nation and should now be considered both natural and normal. Before approving the ordinance, council made two changes. It changed the limit of six adult birds and six young birds to just six birds, period. It also lowered the Zone Development Permit fee from $34 to $10, with adjustments for inflation to be made when warranted. When the ordinance was approved, members of the audience applauded. The next regular meeting is scheduled for Jan. 3.

While Pitrone moved that Peterson be approved, his motion did not garner a second, nor did Stevens’ motion to approve Butts’ application. The only clue to the trustees’ take-no-prisoners’ stand was from Price, who asked if Sunshine Laws allowed the trustees to interview the candidates oneon-one. Stuart answered in the affirmative. So it was back to the drawing board and on to the first meeting in 2013 on Jan. 15. There was more agreement among the trustees who approved the budget for 2013 at $440,699. In a time of great emotional and financial stress on town officials after the arson fire in February that destroyed Town Hall, contributions, grants and donations helped fill funding gaps as a result of additional expenses incurred by each department. Among the contributors were: • Dick Bratton, $3,250 for the marshal’s department and $1,000 for the 2012 administrative budget for travel expenses, capital outlay and training • Nancy Brittain, $200 for the fuel budget for the marshal’s department • Great Outdoors Colorado, $32,434 grant to the parks’ department for upgrades on the tennis courts • Contingency fund transfer, $2,500 for transmission costs for the marshal’s department 2003 Ford Explorer • R.B.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife will offer a clinic for duck hunters at 6 p.m., Dec. 18 in the Hunter Education classroom at the CPW office at 4255 Sinton Rd. in Colorado Springs. The class is free. The clinic is a way for waterfowl hunters to learn about hunting regulations, duck identification and hunting tactics, all with the goal of increasing duck hunting success. “The class is designed for beginning duck hunters who want to learn how to get the most out of duck hunting,” said Allen Vitt, a Parks and Wildlife biologist. “The clinic will focus on understanding waterfowl habits and behavior and how to make sure you have a safe, successful, legal hunt.” Our goal is to help waterfowl hunters enjoy their experience and improve their
success, he added. In the Central Flyway portion of Colorado, there are now three duck season zones. Hunters should pay close attention to hunting dates, as they can be different in each zone in the regular season for ducks, coots and mergansers, as well as the youth waterfowl. In the southeast zone, including the area east of I-25 and south of I-70 and all of El Paso, Pueblo, Huerfano and Las Animas counties, the season dates are Oct. 24-Jan. 27. The next waterfowl hunting season in the Mountain and Foothills Zone, which includes the area between I-25 and the Continental Divide, is Dec. 21-Jan. 27. The class size is limited to 50. Hunters interested in attending should RSVP by calling 719-227-5200. Additional information can be found at: http://wildlife.state. co.us/Hunting/Waterfowl/Pages/WaterfowlHome.aspx.

Irelan stepping to forefront for Cripple Creek-Victor boys Tapia is taking charge for girls squad By Danny Summers
sports@ourcoloradonews.com
CRIPPLE CREEK - Cripple Creek-Victor High School boys basketball coach Jim Bertrand says a lack of confidence if the biggest reason why many of his young players don’t shoot the ball. That certainly is not the case with senior Chris Irelan. The 6-foot-1 swingman is putting the ball up a whopping 18 times per game. He leads the team in scoring (22.5 points per game), including a high of 28 against Mountain Valley/Moffat on Nov. 30. “Chris is beginning to take that leadership role we need to have,” said Bertrand, whose team dropped to 1-2 after a 53-48 loss to Colorado Springs School on Dec. 8. “He’s not being a ball hog. He’s taking the shots he needs to take.” Irelan, who transferred from Wheat Ridge midway through his junior year, is arguably the best all-around -male athlete in the school. He led the football team in touchdowns with nine, while playing in just five games due to injury. “Chris didn’t get into a lot of varsity (basketball) games last year because of the transfer rule,” Bertrand said. “Hopefully some of the kids are learning from him.” l The Pioneers are a young squad with 13 of their 16 players being underclassmen. Joining Irelan as the only seniors are Cale Brown (5.5 ppg) and Wyatt McClure (2.5 ppg). d Bertrand has mainly a six-man rotation that includes Irelan, Brown and McClure, along with sophomores David Burks, Cody Rice and Toby Wuellner. “I’m just trying to get these guys to play as a team,” Berstrand said. “Knowing we didn’t have a real strong returning group, it’s a matter of getting the team to gel.” The Pioneers opened their season with a 42-34 victory over Mountain Valley/Moffat, followed by a 69-40 loss to Platte Canyon. Cripple Creek-Victor’s girls are also 1-2 after a 61-36 loss to Colorado Springs School on Dec. 8. . Leading the way for the Pioneers is junior guard Katie Tapia. The talented Tapia - an outside hitter on the school’s volleyball team and a state-finalist long-jumper in track - is averaging 21 points per game. She had a career-high 32 in the season opener - a 58-39 victory over Mountain-Valley/ Moffat. “Katie got a lot of steals and layups in that first game,” said Bertrand, who also is directing the girls squad while first-year coach Michelle Eastman is getting her feet wet. “She anticipates well. She’s quick enough. She can get down the court in a hurry. The Pioneers have yet to play a game at full strength. They were without the services of three starters the first week of the season when Olivia Ruiz-Larsen, Sarah Wywias and Darien Carrillo were away at a leadership conference. Another key player, Autumn Herndon, was out of town dealing with family issues. Last weekend, Ruiz-Larsen, Herndon, Hannah Zoon and Julie Brown were competing for the school in the state spirit finals in Denver. “Hopefully, we’re getting to the point where we play together,” Bertrand said. “As soon as they get a little more familiarity with each other we could be okay. We could be pretty salty. We’ll keep hammering away and see what happens.”

PANTHERS HOST AD REUNION OF SORTS It wasn’t exactly a Mount y Rushmore moment, but several significant players in this history of Woodland Park High School athletics were in the school’s gymnasium at the same time during last Friday’s (Dec. 7) Mountain Madness Tournament.

QUICK HITS The last four Woodland Park athletic directors - dating to the mid 1990s - were in attendance during the boys and girls games. Current athletic director Michael DeWall was busy making sure things ran smoothly, but found time to pop his head in and out of the gym. Brian Gustafson and Bob Graf were seated in the
visitors section, while Del Garrick (the school’s principal) was making the rounds and talking to folks. LOPEZ COMMITS TO FRIENDS UNIVERSITY Woodland Park senior Dani Lopez has committed to play softball for Friends University. Friends is an NAIA school located
in Wichita, Kansas. Lopez will make things official in February. “I’m excited,” Lopez said. “I like the coach,. The campus. The team is great.” Lopez led the Rangers in batting last season with a .631 average. A slap hitter, she is projected to be a center fielder in college.
SELLS GETS FEET WET AT CONCORDIA Jake Sells, a 2012 Woodland Park graduate, was a midfielder this fall for the Concordia University men’s soccer team. A freshman, Sells played in 14 of the Bulldogs’ 19 games, starting four. He scored a goal and added an assist.

WOODLAND PARK - It hasn’t been the start to the season that Woodland Park High School girls basketball coach David Graf or his team had hoped for. But they are not thinking about throwing in the towel quite yet. “We’re keeping our spirits high,” said Panthers senior guard Shannon Bingen. “We’re going to keep our intensity high and keep giving each other high fives.” Woodland Park dropped to 0-5 after losing all three of its games last weekend in its own Mountain Madness Tournament. The Panthers’ losses were close - Vista Ridge (2524), Lewis-Palmer (32-27) and Florence (39-32). “We had the lead going into the fourth quarter against Florence,” Graf said. “We missed some opportunities to attack on offense, and we let (Florence) get back on defense. “I think we have to learn to handle success. We do some good things, and then turn right around and give it back.” That certainly was the case against Lewis-Palmer when the Rangers battled from 15-10 deficit
Senior Michaela Huntington brings the ball up the court during a Mountain Madness game. Photo by Paul Magnuson late in the second quarter to take a three-point lead two minutes into the third quarter on a pair of Alexa Garrick free throws. Bingen, who scored a team-high nine points, added a pair of short jumpers during the run. Lewis-Palmer regained the advantage 90 seconds later on an
Emma Weaver layup, but the Panthers answered with a Michaela Huntington layup to take a 20-19 lead with less than a minute remaining in the quarter. Unfortunately, Lewis-Palmer outscored Woodland Park 13-7 down the stretch. “We need to execute and make our free throws,” said Panthers se-
nior 5-11 post Reanna Marcengill. “We have to give that extra push when it counts. We have it in us. We have the ability to win.” The Panthers have lost by single digits in every game but the season opener - a 48-20 setback to Fruita Monument. Against Vista Ridge, Woodland Park was up by three points with 45 seconds remaining, and by two with 30 seconds. But the team’s inability to make free throws down the stretch contributed to the loss. “The last four games have been close,” Graf said. “We just haven’t had a girl step and take charge. Elin Saxon is capable of it. Hannah Erickson is capable of it.” Erickson and Saxon (both 5-11), along with Marcengill, give the Panthers a formidable inside presence. Erickson scored a team-high nine points against Florence. The Panthers close out the first part of the season with two more home games this week - The Classical Academy (Dec. 11) and Pueblo Centennial (Friday), and a road game at Salida on Dec. 17. “We’ve beat Pueblo Centennial the past two seasons,” Graf said. “Salida is pretty solid. “If we have two wins going into the break I’d be ecstatic. I know that once we get that first win we’ll get over the hump.”

`Christmas Carol’ returns to Butte stage By Norma Engelberg
nengelberg@ourcoloradonews.com Charles Dickens’ most beloved book, “A Christmas Carol” is as much a character in the Thin Air Theater Co. production of “A Cripple Creek Christmas Carol” as the other professional and community actors as Zachariah Gooch carries the book around while he learns the same lessons as Ebenezer Scrooge. Where Scrooge had three spirits guiding him to spiritual enlightenment, the miserly Gooch, played with wicked delight by Rob Scharlow, has only two; a reluctant, recently deceased Bob Womack, the founder of the Cripple Creek Gold Rush who plays the Ghost of Christmas Past and Present, and the Ghost of Christmas Future. The melodrama was written by Chris Armbrister, who plays Womack, and Chris Sorensen and directed by Mickey Burdick.
It first came to the Butte in 2002. Because this is a community show, the cast includes Cripple Creek and Victor residents and dozens of local children. Set in early 20th century Cripple Creek, the melodrama features some of the Creek’s historic characters, including Doc Susie, Mollie Kathleen (played by community member Steph Hilliard, her 10th time on the Butte stage) and Winfield Scott Stratton (JD Hilliard). Tom Crocket, the Bob Cratchit in this story, works for Gooch. His son, Little Tom, was hurt in an accident and the medical bills have mounted up to the point that father and son live in a tent on Tenderfoot Hill. Mel Moser, who has played Gooch in past productions, plays Fergus O’Flaherty, bar keeper with a heart of gold. Rebecca Myers, who recently played Eliza Doolittle in the Thin Air Theater production of “My Fair Lady,” plays Katie Larkin, the girl

Miser Zachariah Gooch, played by Rob Scharlow, takes it on the chin from Doc Susie (Madeline Fallier) while Big Tom and Little Tom Crocket (Kevin Pierce and Ryan Clare) look on in “A Cripple Creek Christmas Carol.’The returning melodrama features both professional and community actors and will run through Dec. 30 at the Butte Theater. Courtesy photo Gooch left behind. The melodrama has plenty of funny moments that are sure to keep the audience in stitches as they cheer on the good guys and boo and hiss Gooch, who is a better Scrooge than the Dickens Scrooge. Catch him singing “Christmas is for Suckers.” Not to give anything away but saving a handkerchief
for the ending is probably a good idea. The Christmas Olio after the melodrama also is a lot of fun and shows off the many singing and dancing talents of both the professional and community actors. The show debuted on Nov. 30 and runs through Dec. 30. For times and tickets, visit www.ButteTheater.com.
