Editor’s NoteIn the last 20 years,

enrollment at Teller County’s school districts has plunged.

In Cripple Creek-Victor School District RE1, enrollment is in a freefall from a peak of 657 students in 1997 to just 384 students registered in the fall of 2014.

The drop in Woodland Park School District RE2 has been signifi cant, as well. Enrollment eclipsed 3,000 for the fi rst time in 1995. The next few years, enrollment hovered around 3,200 students, peaking in 1998 at 3,281. By last fall, it had slipped to 2,450 students.

The Courier examined the declining enrollment trends to identify reasons for the drops and understand the impacts.

For example, there are simply fewer families with children.

In 2000, according to

U.S. Census data, there were 20,555 people in Teller County including 6,515 in Woodland Park and 1,115 in Cripple Creek. Of the total, 33.6 percent of the households were families with children under 18.

By 2010, the county had grown to 23,350 with 7,200 in Woodland Park and 1,189 in Cripple Creek. But the percent of households with children under 18 had fallen to 24.2 percent.

Then there’s the issue of

open enrollment draining students from the county. Last year, Woodland Park lost nearly 200 students to other school districts, including nearly 100 to Manitou Springs, according to the state Department of Education. Cripple Creek experienced the same trend, losing more than 100 students to other districts, including more than 60 to Woodland Park.

The ironic thing about that migration pattern is

that in the earliest days of the Woodland Park school district -- its fi rst school was built in 1890 and had two teachers -- it had no high school and all students were forced to attend Manitou Springs High. Shortly after World War I, voters approved a bond issue to pay for a new building. The fi rst high school graduation was in 1926.

Some blame the lack of affordable housing for the recent drop in families with school-age children.

Others say larger districts in Colorado Springs are luring students with iPads in every classroom and better opportunities for athletes and musicians to showcase their talents for college recruiters.

Still others cite the high percentage of commuters -- 83.8 percent of Woodland Park residents and 65.3 percent

of Teller County residents commute out of the area for work, making it easier to take kids out of the district each day.

Whatever the reason, the impact on the districts is severe. Each student represents an average $6,400 in funding from the state. As the numbers drop, the districts face budget cuts, which result in programs being slashed along with teacher salaries.

In fact, fi rst-year teachers in Woodland Park earn the lowest salaries of any in the Pikes Peak Region at $30,225 a year.

To meet some of the students who leave, and learn why, as well as to learn what school district offi cials say and what they are doing to combat the problem, please turn the page.

Sets goal to keep medical services localNorma [email protected]

Suffering from a brain tumor? Maybe you need surgery to treat pain caused by such conditions as trigeminal neuralgia, which causes intense facial pain. Or perhaps you need spinal surgery to repair a herniated disc in the neck and back.

Woodland Park now has services of a neurosugeon to tackle those complex procedures.

He is Dr. Todd P. Thompson, the newest member of the neurosurgery team at Memorial Hospital/University of Colorado Health.

Thompson joined the team three years ago because his goals matched the team’s goals: to provide full medical services in Colorado Springs so that patients don’t have to leave the area to fi nd the specialists they need.

By providing offi ce hours in Woodland Park, at the Colorado Springs Health Partners building, Thompson is doing his part to expand the team’s goals to the entire region.

For now, he’ll only be here one day a month, but those hours will expand based on patients’ needs.

Thompson grew up in Pennsylvania and received most of his education in the state. He went to college in Chapel Hills, N.C., but came back to Pennsylvania for his medical education.

Show organizers expect 200-250 entriesNorma [email protected]

There’ll be plenty of chrome in Woodland Park and Cripple Creek when the 24th annual Cruise Above the Clouds Car Show rolls into Teller County Sept. 12-13.

The show is open to all kinds of vehicles from turn-of-the-20th-century steamers to hot rods and restored classics to tricked-out sports cars and motorcycles.

Marshall Sanders, representing the Above the Clouds Cruisers Club, which sponsors the annual event, said that in each of the past two or three years the show has earned more than $28,000

for distribution to local charities.

“Typically, we give money to the same charities year after year,” he said. “When we get a funding request from a new charity, the club membership votes on it. The checks are usually handed out in October.”

With entry fees set at only $35, most of the funding for the show comes from businesses and organizations that sponsor trophies. Each entry also gets a T-shirt and extra shirts are sold to visitors.

In past years, the club has set up its registration tents in Woodland Park’s Memorial Park. This year the park is under construction but the club has a plan for the Woodland Park portion of the show.

“Not much has been done to the streets

around the park so we’ll start at the edge of the park and work outward,” Sanders said. “We’ll be using the parking lot between City Hall and the (New Covenant Christian Fellowship) Church and we’ll set up our tents in the grassy area next to the church.”

Entries will also park in the lower parking lot behind City Hall and they will use half of the Woodland Park Senior Center parking lot. More entries will be parked on Henrietta Avenue and Park Street. The club also has permission to use part of Lake Avenue if necessary.

“We also have a back-up plan if something changes,” Sanders said.

The Woodland Park Chamber of Commerce started the show in 1991 with only fi ve vehicles. See “Car Show” on page 9

The saga of the Wildwood Casino’s convenience store and gas station continued before the Cripple Creek City Council.

Wildwood general manager Kevin Werner asked permission to amend the Wildwood’s convenience store and gas station site plan to add a recreational vehicle dump and fi ll station on the site. It would be located northeast of the fuel pumps, along the current alley.

Werner explained that the Wildwood plans a small, nine-space RV park at the Gold King Mountain Inn. The Wildwood owns the Gold King and is buying additional properties in the casino and motel area.

“We originally planned to put the RV dump up there but then we thought moving it to the gas station site would service more people,” Werner said. “The RV spaces at the Gold King will have electric power but no water.

“There will be no charge for this service.“It will have easy access. It is as far from homes as we can make it and we believe there will be no odor.”

City administrator, Ray DuBois, noted there are two RV dumps in town, at Eagle’s Landing and Hospitality House. He questioned whether the new dump would be equitable to everyone as to costs.

Council members also expressed a mild concern over the impact on water and sewer rates. The sewer rate is based on water consumption.

“I cannot quantify the impact on the City at this point,” DeBois said.

As far as any increased impact on the sewer system itself, public works director, Jim Blasing, said “We have no problem.”

Eventually the Council unanimously approved an amendment to the convenience store site plan to add the RV dump.

In Other NewsIn a brief Cripple Creek City Council meeting Aug.

19, the Teller County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan was adopted. City administrator Ray DuBois presented the resolution.

DuBois said the 320-page Plan was prepared and

updated in accordance with FEMA requirements, the Disaster Mitigation Act and the Robert T Stafford Act, and was mandatory. The parties to the Plan include Teller County, Woodland Park, Victor and Cripple Creek.

“With the City adopting it,” DuBois said, “all parties have now adopted it.”

On fi rst readings of proposed ordinances, Council voted to repeal an out-dated parking ordinance and to vacate a portion of an alley right-of-way on West Warren Avenue. Other portions of the alley have already been vacated in prior years. A local property owner requested the vacation in order to build a residential garage on his property.

The repealed ordinance, which was put in place when gaming was fi rst approved, has not been enforced for some years. It prohibited on-street parking in much of the downtown area.

In reply to a citizen question, DuBois said parking changes in the 200 block of Bennett have been put on hold. Bus loading and parking remains the same for now. There will be further discussions.

There is a lot more under Woodland Park’s streets than meets the eye and protecting what’s under those streets with a new ordinance was discussed at a work session before the Aug. 21 Woodland Park City Council meeting.

The session was run by City Manager David Buttery, City Attorney Erin Smith, Public Works Director William Alspach and Utilities Director Kip Wiley.

Smith explained that cities own their public rights of way, usually roads and streets. The city does not own utility easements.

“Because they own their rights of way, cities get to say who can operate in them and how they can operate,” she said.

The new ordinance would beef up the city’s control and of work in its rights of way and would allow the city to set fees that refl ect the actual costs involved in issuing permits. It also would give the city better enforcement tools.

Tribune staff report

A Woodland Park couple, Robert and Marcia Konczak, have been ordered to pay nearly $1 million for a federal Small Business Administration loan related to their failed restaurant business.

“They owe the U.S. government $884,666.09 from an SBA loan guarantee they failed to pay,” said Jeff Dorschner, spokesman for U.S. Attorney Tom Walsh in Denver. “We sued them in March 2014 on behalf of the SBA when administrative debt collection was not productive.”

The Konczaks were ordered to pay by U.S. Magistrate Judge Craig Shaffer who found them liable for the original loan and subsequent expenses trying to recover it.

According to court documents, in 2003, “Konczak’s Koncepts,” a Woodland Park restaurant company run by the couple, obtained a $684,000 loan from the SBA under its “504 loan program.”

Under that program, the SBA guaranteed 100 percent of the Konczaks’ debt through a debenture, which is not secured by physical assets or collateral. As part of the loan terms, the Konczaks also guaranteed the loan, making them personally liable for the debt.

When Konczak’s Koncepts failed in 2007, it also defaulted on its obligation to repay the loan. The SBA then honored its debenture and paid the loan off, assumed the debt, and attempted to recover on the Konczaks’ guarantees.

But the Konczaks refused to pay, Dorschner said Friday. After several years of unsuccessful collection efforts, the SBA referred the matter to the U.S. Attorney’s Offi ce for enforcement.

After a trial, Shaffer ruled the Konczaks are liable for the full amount of the loan guarantees, plus other mandatory statutory fees resulting from the SBA and Department of the Treasury’s collection efforts.

Robert Konczak is the former owner of Johnny Nolon’s Saloon and Gambling Emporium in Cripple Creek as well as the former owner of the Zak’s Tavern and Grill and Primo’s restaurants in Woodland Park. Both restaurants eventually closed and today, Denny’s is in the same location.

Approves ordinance amending rules for constructing elder-care facilitiesNorma [email protected]

Woodland Park City Hall was packed with law enforcement offi cers and offi cials as deputy Police Chief Miles DeYoung was appointed by Woodland Park City Council to head the Woodland Park Police Department.

Spectators included most of the Woodland Park offi cers, police chiefs from Cripple Creek and Green Mountain Falls, District Attorney Dan May and others. After his mother and wife pinned on his new insignia, DeYoung was sworn in and took his place at the dais.

At its Aug. 21 meeting, council also appointed Peter Scanlon and Patricia Hyslop to the planning commission, Gene Mertlick to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board and Anita Illingworth to the Keep Woodland Park Beautiful Committee. The city will continue to advertise to fi ll the remaining KWPB open position.

During public comment, Paul Oppman presented fi ndings on how other cities handle cat licensing. Councilmember Phil Mella suggested that people who want the city to license cats and hold their owners responsible if their cats damage neighboring properties should start and present a petition to the city rather than to continue presenting anecdotal information about a potential cat problem.

Public Works Director William Alspach said pavement maintenance projects in the city will be completed within the next week or so.

Council approved:• An ordinance on fi rst reading

that would allow Woodland Park Community Church to convert a basement into a temporary

emergency shelter. • An ordinance on second reading

that deletes a minimum one-acre lot size and 100-foot setbacks for construction of elder-care facilities next to single family residential districts and would add these facilities as conditional uses in multi-family zones.

• A conditional use permit for Douglas Potter and Candace Quist-Potter to convert a commercial property in the city into a residential property. Councilmember Bob Carlsen voted against the permit because, in his opinion, the building will not be aesthetically pleasing.

• A one-year franchise agreement extension for TDS Baja Broadband.

After adjournment, council went into executive session to receive legal advice on negotiations related to acquiring property for the aquatic center.

Two weeks after construction crews discovered human remains while demolishing an old cabin along Rampart Range Road, the identity of the body remains a mystery.

According to Teller County Coroner Al

Born, the autopsy includes examining the jaw and the teeth.

“The dentist has received all the materials and we’re waiting for the identifi cation,” Born said.

When the remains were found, Born, along with the Woodland Park Police Department and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, opened the investigation.

Alspach said service providers used to fi x their mistakes and many still do but it’s becoming more common for some companies to make messes and then walk away.

“We have 55 miles of streets,” he said. “We need to protect that investment. … I don’t have any way right now to make companies fi x their work. When it’s shoddy, it’s the property owners who are left holding the bag.”

Wiley used maps and photos to show council the problems the city faces when there are so many service providers using city space.

“It’s getting crowded down there,” he said. “More and more infrastructure is going underground. When we need to make repairs we fi nd lines on top of lines.”

The city’s current ordinance doesn’t address newer practices such as directional boring, which does away with many pavement cuts and trenching but also can send service lines through city sewer mains, for example.

The new ordinance will list new

responsibilities for permit holders and new enforcement policies that will allow the city to remedy problems without going through the courts.

Alspach said the new ordinance:• Standardizes and updates

permits for a level playing fi eld.• Creates fl exibility.• Gives the city enforcement

powers when companies choose to do poor work.

• Extends the work schedule to 120 days.

• Clarifi es and establishes work boundaries.

• Protects pavement and infrastructure.

• Regulates directional boring.

The ordinance, if approved, would give staff guidance to create new regulations and fee structures, which can be approved later by resolution. The proposed ordinance will be part of the Sept. 3 city council packet available online at www.city-woodlandpark.org.

RESTLESS NATIVE

Giving credit where it’s due to overlooked community memberBy Bill [email protected]

Shame on me. In praising our generous readers for pitching in

to help Woodland Park observe its fi rst ever National Night Out, I overlooked someone who deserved a ton of credit for helping make the evening a success.

Maybe it was because he’s a member of the Courier family. Don’t we always take for granted the work of those who are closest to us?

How often do we thank our spouses and kids for all that they do? We just expect the meals to be cooked, the dishes washed, the clothes cleaned and dried. Oh we might complain when the chores go unfi nished but do we ever genuinely thank them for their daily contributions? That’s just what they’re supposed to do, right?

Perhaps that’s how I overlooked Cord Prettyman, our fi tness guru who weekly offers insight and advice on maintaining our physical and mental health.

I don’t know Cord well. But from my few interactions, and as a fan of his writing, I can tell he’s genuine in his concern for his fellow man and his community.

And no doubt that’s what motivated Cord to get involved in the National Night Out event. Genuine concern for the community and the need to bring Woodland Park residents and its police force closer together to avoid the kind of fear and paranoia that exists toward police in other cities.

I knew Cord was interested in National Night Out because he had approached me to see if the Courier

might publicize it. Of course I was happy to because I’ve seen just how effective the National Night Out program and its related Neighborhood Watch programs are nationwide. They turn neighbors from strangers into friends and, as a result, slash crime rates because the new friends take an interest in each other and call police when they suspicious activity.

But it wasn’t until later I learned the true extent of Cord’s involvement.

Less than three weeks before the event, he was asked if his company, Absolute Workout, would help sponsor it. He did much more than just write a check. He quickly got busy designing a marketing program.

Cord and his secretary made phone calls to get the information on all the town’s electronic signs and spent more than $800 on supplies and on printing 750 fl iers that were distributed throughout the community. He also sent out three mass emails to spread the word and personally visited businesses to circulate the fl iers.

How’s that for a mere “sponsor” of the event?Without his diligence, I would not have known of

the National Night Out and it’s doubtful many would have come out in support.

Truth is, the best neighborhoods typically have one or two people who are the catalysts for the barbecues and the picnics and potlucks that make a

place special.Same for our schools, church groups, businesses

and communities.Without people like Cord Prettyman who are

willing to fi ll the void and give of their bank accounts and of themselves, we’d be just another place to live.

Luckily, we have a lot of great people, like Cord and the folks who responded to the National Night Out and who give of themselves every day to make this place so special.

So at the risk of embarrassing Cord, this my overdue thank you. (And, while I’m thinking of it, thanks for the columns you write each week. For free. I really appreciate and enjoy them. And so do our readers!)

Lost cities on Pikes Peak: Maybe it’s something in the waterRob [email protected]

Real estate people will always tell you it is location, location and location. And they are right to a degree. But when speculating, luck also seems to play a strong hand as well.

Consider the communities of Jones Park, Lake Moraine and Seven Lakes.

“It was rather diffi cult to climb to the summit of Pikes Peak until the observatory of the U.S. Army Signal Service was established there 1873 and a trail built up the southeast slope of Pikes Peak,” notes Ivan W. Brunk in his 1989 book “Shattered Dreams on Pikes Peak.”

“It was a long journey, but hotels at Lake Moraine and Seven Lakes enabled travelers to make the adventure a less arduous two-day trip to the peak,” writes Brunk.

“However, these hotels survived only a few years because of the opening

of a much shorter route to the summit in 1880. The settlement at Jones Park lasted for a number of years, and there were many plans for rather grandiose developments, including railroads, resorts and a dam. But for one reason or another, none of these projects materialized.”

Partly because travel to them was primarily by burro or horseback, and partly because most things had to be hauled in by those means because very little agricultural produce was possible at that altitude, the populations remained small.

In 1890, the city of Colorado Springs purchased 784 acres in the Bear Creek drainage including Lake Moraine to improve the city’s water supply. Shortly afterward they enlarged the natural dam there.

In the Seven Lakes area prior to 1902, various major historic players vied for the water rights (and then the property itself) until the city was

ready to complete its storage project there. Among those involved in such acquisitions were historic fi gures like Irving Hobart, The Woods Investment Co., and Dr. Mayo G. Smith.

By the authority of an act of Congress on May 1, 1902, the city was authorized to purchase 7,000 acres from the U.S. government for $1.25 per acre. Shortly after they began a storage project that the city staff completed in 1905.

During that effort, the city’s contractors took 17 feet of water out the fi rst lake and the bottom could not be found. At that time, the chairman of the water committee, a man by the name of St. John, said: “When the dam is built, the lakes of apparently no bottom will be covered by a large body of water, and one of the prettiest to be found in the state.”

A tunnel 2,330 feet long though the divide of Seven Lakes transports water to Lake Moraine and is called the St. John tunnel.

In 1948, the city of Colorado Springs bought some of the land that had included Jones Park and then purchased the remainder in 1952.

Lake Moraine and the Seven Lakes area, and to a lesser extent Jones Park, continue to provide water for Colorado Springs

though the area is only open to the public by reservation and severe limits, being a primary drinking water source for the city.

Location and luck certainly has had a lot to do with development (or lack of) for these communities.

But maybe it was something in the water.

Letters to the Editor

You might fi nd this shocking! When The Lights Went On!Mel McFarland

We think nothing of it now, but electricity didn’t come to Monument and Palmer Lake until 1932.

The communities up Ute Pass -- Cascade, Green Mountain Falls, Chipita Part, with the exception of Woodland Park -- were getting electricity from the power plant in Manitou.

But not the Tri-Lakes region. It fi nally came to Monument and Palmer Lake because of an idea from a man from Kansas! And it was not so much for homes, but mainly to light the streets.

Dwight Chapin, of Wichita, Kan., applied to both communities for a franchise to build a power line from the closest available line. That line was actually at Elizabeth, Colo.

The line his company built ran from

there to Greenland, where it split, sending one line to Larkspur the other to Palmer Lake following the “Denver Road.”

Now, I have talked about the old road in the past, but the original road followed the railroad lines between Palmer Lake and Larkspur. The newer, shorter,

more direct route was still under construction in 1932.

New equipment was being installed at Elizabeth, along with bigger generators, needed for the new

coverage. It would be ready once the new power lines were fi nished.

The primary function was to provide the street lighting, but it was immediately available for residents in the communities, as well as anyone along the new line.

Many year-round residents, and a few seasonal ones, were lining up to get the service. A few of the homes and farms had their own generators, but most people were still using oil lanterns.

The new power line would not extend past Monument south or east until it was seen how many customers would need to be served.

By late summer the construction of the power line was well in place. Crews did not reach Monument until winter.

At fi rst the power was only on limited

times. Electricity generally came on in the late afternoon until about 10 p.m. During the day, the power was turned off as crews worked on the extension of the lines. Even then, the demand was such that power was unpredictable.

As the lines were extended, many of the ranchers along the way paid for construction of lines to their properties. The power plant at Elizabeth was rebuilt to handle the unexpected demand. It was well into 1933 before power was available 24 hours a day.

The extension into Black Forest would take quite some time, as the number of potential customers was quite small, but as more power lines circled the area new lines were built.

Mental Health: As Colorado turns the corner, still work aheadDr. Mick PattinsonGuest Columnist

One in four people has a mental illness each year. Less than half will seek treatment due to stigma and lack of access. These are our friends, family members, coworkers and fellow students who suffer unnecessarily. Today, it is time to increase mental health awareness and care in our communities.

Crisis stabilization services, initiated by Gov. John Hickenlooper and the Colorado Department of Human Services late last year, are providing care for anyone, regardless of ability to pay, with walk-in and telephonic support. The crisis centers, including the one in Colorado Springs, have been game-changers for Colorado, saving lives and families through intervention and prevention.

To improve access to our Colorado Springs-based Crisis Stabilization Unit for residents in neighboring counties such as Teller, the Ute Pass Ambulance provides emergency transportation as needed.

If you need help, call the Colorado Crisis Services toll-free at 1-844-493-8255, for confi dential and immediate professional help 24 hours-a-day, 7 days a week or visit www.ColoradoCrisisServices.org.

Additionally, health care access for low-income Americans has improved under the Affordable Care Act, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) “State Mental Health Legislation

2014” report. Colorado is participating in this Medicaid expansion, thereby growing the eligibility and coverage of behavioral health care.

As the Medicaid provider for El Paso, Teller and Park Counties, AspenPointe has seen a 50 percent increase in patients. We are deeply committed to providing services to those families and individuals who were previously uninsured. The recent Teller County offi ce relocation has allowed for the expansion of adult, children and group services, thus increasing access.

We will reach even more people by integrating physical and behavioral health services in order to achieve quality, effective and timely whole-person care. According to some studies, as many as 70 percent of primary care visits stem from behavioral and social issues. While patients typically present with a physical health complaint, data illustrates that underlying behavioral health needs including mental health or substance abuse issues are often triggering these visits.

Primary care providers can fi nd immediate solutions to assist with the behavioral health needs but can become challenged to navigate the unfamiliar systems. In other situations, they lack the time to fully address the wide range of behavioral issues that are presented by the patients.

Best practice models that are working to improve the whole-person-care experience include integrating behavioral health care consultants into primary care.

In Teller County, AspenPointe integrates direct care with Peak Vista Community Health Centers in Divide to deliver this best practice to patients for ease of access and care at several sites in Colorado Springs.

Of course, everyday people may or may not know they have a mental illness. They may not tell their primary care physician that they are “depressed,” but they may disclose sleep issues, anxiousness, diet changes or increased alcohol consumption. All of these behaviors can be symptoms of a behavioral health issue that a primary care physician is not comfortable or capable of treating.

We are honored to partner in Teller County with other local mental health advocate organizations to include the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) and its Provider Education Program as well as the Colorado Department of Human Services and the Department of Social Services.

I am encouraged by the increased mental health awareness in our community, yet fully understand that access and stigmas prevent many from receiving the health care they need. We are dedicated to overcoming these and other barriers in providing exceptional health care.

Dr. Mick Pattinson is president and chief executive offi cer of AspenPointe.

Snap, crackle, pop of joint pain can signal serious health problemsCord Prettyman

The timeless joke goes: “You know you’re getting old, when your joints are more accurate at predicting the weather than the local weatherman.”

Sad but true. That snap-crackle-and-pop you

hear with every step you take and every move you make is not the Rice Krispies in your pocket. It’s what’s known in the health and fi tness industry as crepitus … as in decrepit.

According to the August 2015 issue of Health Radar, achy or stiff joints can not only make your life miserable … they can kill you. Not quickly like a heart attack or stroke but slowly, like a dripping faucet, limiting your ability to move, which can trigger a medical death spiral.

“Inactivity is comparable to smoking a pack of cigarettes a day and it’s four times as prevalent as smoking,” says renowned cardiologist James Rippe. Rippe is the founder of the Rippe Lifestyle Institute, a research

and educational organization.

“Joint problems are the leading cause of inactivity and the condition is not only painful but a serious threat to overall health, says Rippe.”

With seven in ten Americans over the age of 34 reporting some form of joint stiffness or pain,

experts say there’s a serious problem brewing.

WebMD educates us that joints form the connections between bones providing skeletal support and the structure for movement. Knee pain is the most common culprit with shoulder and hip pain closely behind. However, joint pain can affect any part of your body from your feet to your neck and every joint in between.

A multitude of conditions can lead to painful joints, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, bursitis, gout, strains and sprains, as well impact injuries. Osteoarthritis is the most prevalent form of arthritis affecting approximately 27 million Americans and holds the distinction of being the main cause of joint pain.

According to the National Institute of Health, back in the mid-70’s and 1980’s, osteoarthritis and its resultant joint pain were considered an inevitable consequence of aging or injury about which little could be done. Patients were told to take anti-infl ammatory pain relievers, rest their joints and avoid exercise.

Today, instead of rest, the NIH recommends moderate exercise as one of the fi rst treatment modalities for joint pain. Clinical trials have shown that exercise reduces joint pain and stiffness, increases fl exibility and muscle strength and improves cardiac fi tness and endurance.

Exercise can also result in weight

loss, which is no small matter when it comes to your joints. Each extra pound of body weight adds three pounds of extra pressure on knee joints and six pounds of extra pressure on hip joints.

Do the math. If you’re just 10 pounds overweight, that extrapolates to an additional 30 pounds of pressure on you knees and 60 pounds on your hips.

Given the obesity epidemic in America, it should come as no surprise that there are 719,000 knee replacements and 332,000 hip replacements every year.

Tune in next week for the skinny on treatment options for achy joints and joint replacement.

Community made Mountain Arts Festival a success

Dear Editor,

The Mountain Artists want to thank the Pikes Peak Courier and the community of Woodland Park for contributing to the success of our 30th Annual Mountain Arts Festival.

Our visitors from town and the surrounding communities have, as always, been wonderfully supportive.

A special thank you to Pat Hill for her article on Gail Duesler, who is one of our members.

We are also grateful to Debbie Pinello, from the UPCC, and the rest of the staff at City Hall who were instrumental in assisting us with all the preparations for a successful event.

We look forward to our 31st festival in 2016.

Sincerely,

Carolyn Dimig

Wedding chapel dispute no ‘feud’ and certainly no laughing matter

To the Editor, It was disappointing to see the

story headlines “Neighborhood feud silences wedding bells” as an attempt to minimize the true nature of the problem being debated at the Aug. 11th Planning meeting. This was a problem that focused on an organization that was purposely and defi antly being non-compliant with their granted conditional use permit. This debate was not the result of a “feud.” It was an attempt to have the nonresident Lodge operators bring the usage back into compliance as a retreat center for single women, not as a expanded event and wedding center. The original use permit did not permit this level of activity. While it is true that we were supportive of the Lodge’s ministry, we were led to believe by the operators that their permit allowed the expanded and weekly events? It was only after the activities became too disruptive, did we discover that the Lodge was operating totally out of compliance with the original intent, as represented to the neighbors in 2007. What was originally represented as a quiet ministry for single women, had turned into a commercial event center.

During the Planning Commission hearing a number of negative comments

were made regarding ourselves and the Lehmann’s (neighbors bordering the north edge of the lodge property). These were unwarranted and an attempt to turn the conversation into an emotional debate, and avoid the legal debate so well defi ned by the county planning team; Lynda Morgan and Dan Williams. Due to the defi ance by which the Lodge operated, the county accepted the Planning Department’s recommendation and revoked the Lodge’s Conditional Use Permit.

I take personal exception that the Courier thinks that this has been a fun and entertaining experience for either us, or the operators and owners of the Lodge. The closing comment to “hold onto your popcorn” suggests that this is a trivial matter. On a personal level, I challenge anyone to choose to live next door to a commercial enterprise that is focused on weekly celebrations with all of its associated noise, lights and people. As a citizen of Divide, this debate is critical as we work to enforce the community’s intent for a rural environment which protects the tranquility, natural beauty and water resources of our town. Feel free to visit the Facebook page “Save Rural Divide” for more information. This further defi nes how the Divide Regional Plan works to protect the rural qualities of the Divide area.

In the 21st century, school districts rely on marketing to tout the advantages of their schools above all others. The competition is fi erce, a result of school choice, charter schools, budget cuts and changing curriculum.

In a drive to stay on top, two years ago, the Woodland Park School District initiated a volunteer 23-member task force to plan the future of a district which loses students every year, for one reason or another.

And always, the district battles the rumor mill, accusations of drugs by students and a mediocre curriculum.

“There is so much good stuff happening here; unfortunately, people hear the bad stuff, the rumors and make assumptions based on that,” said Mark Platten, extension agent for Colorado State University and member of the task force.

In the past two years, the district has implemented several programs that offer students a range of academic advantages.

“The charge was to help us, as a school district, come up with ideas around attracting and retaining families,” said district superintendent Jed Bowman.

He said the district listened and is implementing change.

“We’ve tried to take what families have said they want and try to match that,” Bowman said.

Here are some of the issues and the district’s response:

SCIENCETo enhance the science curriculum,

the task force suggested the district hold classes outside. As a result, in a partnership with the Catamount Institute, students from kindergarten through fi fth-grade spend one day a week in at Aspen Valley Ranch for environmental studies, part of the Elevate Environmental Education curriculum.

“This makes it a magnet to draw families in,” Platten said.

The Institute’s executive director, Chris Aaby, highlights the importance of the E3 program:

“I want to see a day when all children have outdoor experiential learning as part of their school day and in the elementary schools in RE-2 that is exactly what is happening. The E3 program truly embodies Catamount Institute’s mission of developing ecological stewards through education and adventure. These young students will grow up learning all about the ecosystems, weather, trees, and plants in the area they live. This will create a love for the land and community they call home.”

COLLEGE CREDITSA partnership with Pikes Peak

Community College offers high-school students the opportunity to earn college credits.

“A child can choose not to graduate and go a fi fth year to Pikes Peak Community College,” Bowman said. “We’re just trying

to understand the astronomical cost to families for college.”

ONLINE EDUCATION

As 21st century education evolves to include curriculum via computer, some families choose schooling away from school.

“One of the biggest areas where we saw people leaving is due to the online education program and the one they’ve chosen is not the one we offer. We offer a robust k-12 online, too,” Bowman said. “That’s had a big impact on our district.”

To compete in the online market, the district increased its liaison program.

“We’ve always had a liaison for the elementary school,” Bowman said. “But we bolstered the liaison for middle and high school so that we have a place where people can actually come and get help from a human being here.”

DRUGS “When kids make bad decisions and

come to school under the infl uence or come to school with drugs on their person, they get expelled,” Bowman said. “We have zero tolerance.”

When students do make bad choices, the district offers helps through educational programs such as Rachel’s Challenge, North Teller Build a Generation and Why Try?

“I will say, for any parent and any child in that situation, it is a problem,” he said. “It’s something we need to work together on; it’s not a school problem, it’s a community issue that always gets put on the school.”

MONEY Along with fewer babies born and

parents taking advantage of choice, the district has suffered a loss of $5.5 million over the past four out of fi ve years, Bowman said.

The funding loss keeps salaries in the district the lowest in Colorado; a fi rst-year teacher earns $30,225, before taxes. In the Cripple Creek/Victor School District, fi rst-year teachers earn $30,500.

To offer competitive salaries, a property-tax increase may be sought.

“I think the board is exploring this right now. I think we have to; we just can’t compete,” Bowman said.

Then there’s the issue of affordable housing. Often, teachers are priced out of the Woodland Park housing market. It’s one of the reasons backers recently proposed a new lower-income housing project.

While a necessary step, it nonetheless bothers Bowman.

“It makes me sad that you have to use ‘affordable housing’ and ‘teachers’ in the same sentence,” Bowman said. “That’s not a great statement for our society.”

But you can’t eat the scenery.. “We have a great place to live, great

setting, and we’re working every day on our climate and culture,” Bowman said. “But there is this point in time, and we’re there now, when we have to fi nd a way to provide better funding for our staff.”

He hopes the public will agree and invest in schools, teachers and children.

“Nothing should be more important than educating our youth,” Bowman said. “That should be our highest priority.”

Want to know why Paula and Neil Levy kept their three sons in Woodland Park schools when dozens of others abandoned the district for schools in the Colorado Springs region?

Just attend one of the annual awards ceremonies, she said. You’ll get your answer.

“Honestly, all someone has to do is sit in the auditorium during the awards ceremony at the end of the year,” Paula Levy said. “That’s all you have to do.”

During the annual ceremony, hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships and awards are handed to graduating seniors.

“Most of those students have gone all the way through the Woodland Park schools,” she said. “School is what you make of it.”

Levy is proud their sons, Max, Sam and Lou, have been educated solely within the district. Max graduated two years ago and is a junior at the University of Colorado Boulder.

“Woodland Park schools, every single one of them, have so much to offer to different kinds of students,” she said.

In a district that sometimes gets a bad rap, the evidence of academic excellence is apparent, Levy said.

“You don’t have to look far for the great teachers,”

she said.As an example, Levy

cited Laren Lehmann, who is beginning her 17th year teaching visual arts in the district’s Gateway Elementary School.

“My kids still talk about Lauren Lehmann,” Levy said.

For her part, Lehmann waxed poetic about what she does and why she has stayed so long at Gateway.

“There has to be a place in children’s lives where they can interact with the material world, make careful observations, think deeply and differently about ideas, pretend and imagine,” Lehmann wrote in an email. “There has to be a place where they can be artful, smartful and heartful!

“I stay at Gateway because the arts program is supported fi nancially and philosophically. I have the freedom to create a vibrant, standards-based curriculum.”

A parent, caught while registering her 16 year-old daughter for the upcoming year, stopped to chat.

“I believe the school offers a good education, especially in the arts and music,” she said.

But Lehmann summed up best the attraction of the local schools.

“I stay at Gateway because I want to continue to collaborate with my colleagues to prepare our students for a dynamic and creative future,” Lehmann said.

Academic excellence keeps some families from leaving

Several athletes have chosen to head down Ute Pass to attend high schoolDanny [email protected]

Open enrollment in Colorado means that kids have the choice to attend schools outside their boundaries, or even in other districts and cities.

While the practice is fairly common these days, far more kids – even many quality athletes or skilled musicians – choice out of Woodland Park and head down Ute Pass to attend other schools than come up U.S. Highway 24.

Last year, the state Department of Education reported nearly 200 Woodland Park students opted to choice out of the district, the bulk, about 100, ended up in Manitou Springs.

Here are a few of the athletes and musicians who, in recent years, made the daily trek down the pass. Some of their special circumstances might surprise you:• Kelee Suggs, a Divide resident,

attended Manitou Springs High School. But because Manitou Springs did not fi eld a softball team, Suggs played for Woodland Park. She was named MVP of the 2013 squad that advanced to the postseason. She graduated from Manitou Springs in 2014.

• Natalie Diviney, another player from that 2013 Woodland Park softball team, lived in Woodland Park, but she

attended Cheyenne Mountain High School. However, Diviney transferred to Woodland Park prior to her senior year and played for the Woodland Park softball team. At semester, Diviney transferred back to Cheyenne Mountain, where she graduated from that school in the spring of 2014.

• Tyler Wilson, a 2012 Air Academy graduate, lived in Divide. He attended CSCS in Colorado Springs before transferring to Air Academy for academic and music reasons. He helped Air Academy win three state marching band championships.

• Austin Lopez, a 2015 Palmer graduate, lived in Woodland Park. He played football for Palmer for four years. He is now playing for the University of Wyoming, where he is listed as a linebacker.

• Lucas Rodholm, a Woodland Park resident, is a junior at Manitou Springs. He led the Mustangs in scoring with 15.4 points per game last season, helping Manitou Springs to a 16-8 record and berth in the state Class 3A state tournament.

Rodholm’s older brother, Marcus, also attended Manitou Springs and played basketball for the school.

“With open enrollment you see kids going all over the place these days,” said Brian Gustafson, Woodland Park’s golf coach and the district’s director of business services. “You see it a lot more in Colorado Springs than up here. There’s not a lot of kids who live down in Colorado Springs that choose to go to school up in Woodland Park.” //See “Open Enrollment” on page 8

Open enrollment//continued from page 7

One Teller County family has sent all four of their children to Manitou Springs dating back nearly a decade. The family’s older boys played baseball for the high school, one earning a college scholarship. The family’s youngest son is a current member of the baseball team.

The family said they chose to send their children to Manitou Springs because – at the time – the school had about half the student population of Woodland Park. But with the decline in enrollment at Woodland Park over the last decade, and with a slight rise in enrollment at Manitou Springs, the family might reconsider their decision today.

The most recent enrollment statistics

provided by the Colorado High School Activities Association show Woodland Park around 800 students and Manitou Springs at about 550.

The family also told the Courier that another factor in sending their children – especially the boys – to Manitou Springs was because they felt their sons might have a better opportunity at a college scholarship because the school was closer to Colorado Springs.

“There’s nothing you can do about things like that,” said former Woodland Park baseball coach Cliff Richardson. “You hope that kids who live around here stay here and go to your school, but they have the right to go anywhere they want.”

Offers unique programs to retain, attract students


To combat plummeting enrollment, Cripple Creek-Victor RE-1 School District is using a variety of programs designed to keep students in school, bring back students who drop out and even attract new students.

In line with its mission “Building Excellence One Student at a Time,” the district’s ongoing programs are designed to attract families. These include free healthcare for students and their siblings from pre-birth to age 21, an Early Head Start/Head Start that serves about 50 families per year, free breakfasts for all elementary students, online classes and no activity and athletic fees.

The district also offers Project Respect, a program developed in conjunction with the Aspen Mine Center for all grade-levels that works with families and the community to help students succeed both academically and socially.

District Superintendent Les Lindauer said he isn’t sure why the school has seen a drop in enrollment in recent years, but he thinks is has something to do with changing demographics.

“There’s more (factors) than what we can easily pinpoint,” he said. “It’s too early to tell but I hope enrollment will level off this year. We won’t really know until the (statewide) October count.”

Another thing he hopes has leveled out is the homeschooling trend.

“We lost some kids to homeschooling, but I don’t think as many families are doing that now,” Lindauer said.

He is pinning his hopes for an enrollment turnaround on a few new programs.

Starting with its fall semester, which began Aug. 17, the district is offering advanced placement English, science, math and social studies.

There is also be a design manufacturing class which uses technology to design projects and then build them. Family studies/consumer science classes are also making a comeback.

“We used to call these

County school districts work to increase enrollmentclasses home economics, but they are more than that,” Lindauer said. “We’ll be doing things in the medical fields and offering work-force development classes.”

The district’s alternative education program also is up, running and fully staffed in partnership with Community of Caring.

“We want to bring back kids who have dropped out,” Lindauer said. “We’re trying to make our schools as attractive to families as we can. We’ve had summer programs and summer camps. We still have no fees and our football season starts in two weeks.”

Because of all the new programs starting this fall, the district fell behind getting its class schedule online. But Lindauer is confident the district is on the right track.

“We have new and exciting things on tap,” he said. “We’re generating a lot of interest.”

LAKE GEORGELake George Charter

School is part of Park County RE-2 School District. The school and the Lake George Library used to be in the same building but because of a Building Excellent Schools Today grant, the district built a new, state-of-the-art, energy-efficient school building in 2012.

The grant pays for new, safer and more efficient schools but do not pay for making the schools bigger so the Lake George Charter School is still designed for a limited number of students.

“We average about 130 students a year,” said school administrator Zach Gibson.

A small student body also means a small teaching staff and small class sizes. Gibson said teacher salaries are on par with other area schools and its Colorado test scores are higher than many of the surrounding schools.

The school offers preschool through sixth grade, with online curriculum for third through eighth-grade, no tuition, a four-day week; Monday-Thursday; smaller

class size, Free breakfast for all students, home-cooked cafeteria meals, physical education, art and music and a winter skiing and snowboarding program on Fridays.

New this year are computer classes for fifth and sixth-graders.

Because of its location at the boundary between Teller and Park counties, the school draws students from both counties. Conversely, when students leave sixth-grade, they go back to the other districts. About the same number of students, 33 percent, go on to Cripple Creek-Victor Junior/Senior High and Woodland Park and Park County middle schools and high schools.

CSCSColorado Springs Christian

Schools of Woodland Park is another small school. As a private school it does not receive state funding like other local schools. Private schools do compete with public schools, but they are also one of the most expensive ways to educate students.

Private-school families pay higher tuition rates that can’t be deducted from taxes or earn a tax credit. Also they pay property taxes that are, in part, used to fund public schools.

For many families, it’s worth the cost to give their children a faith-based education that they won’t get in public schools. With only 65 students in kindergarten through fifth-grade, the Woodland Park campus also offers small class sizes and a challenging academic curriculum.

Woodland Park Campus Principal Mike Aragon said about 99 percent of its graduating fifth-graders go on to the CSCS middle school in Colorado Springs. A shuttle picks up and drops off middle and high school students at the Woodland Park Campus and at two other sites in Colorado Springs.

He earned his medical degree from the Temple University School of Medicine in Philadelphia and completed his residency at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center where he also met his wife, a psychiatrist. He started practicing in 2001 and they practiced for seven years in Honolulu before coming to Colorado.

“We used to vacation in Colorado and we fell in love with the Colorado Springs area,” he said. “We came to Memorial Hospital because we liked what we saw.”

He knew he wanted to be a surgeon before entering medical school but credits his professors with making neurosurgery look exciting.

“My personality also fi ts well with neurosurgery,” he said. “I’ve always liked looking at the details, and the brain has a lot of details.”

It took 15 years of higher education to become a neurosurgeon; four years in college, four years in medical school and seven years perfecting his specialty; so it was quite a time commitment.

As a neurosurgeon, Thompson performs surgeries commonly connected with the

title, such as removing brain tumors.But his fi eld emcompasses much more,

especially complex spine surgery. “Our bread and butter is herniated

disc repair in the neck and back,” he said, adding that there are ways to prevent spine injuries.

“There are three ways to prevent coming to doctors like me,” he said. “Maintain a good weight, exercise regularly and don’t smoke. Too much weight can start spinal degeneration and smoking accelerates that degeneration.”

He added that the average person with back pain will not need surgery and that surgery is sometimes indicated when there is radiating pain down arms or legs or there is numbness or tingling in extremities.

Thompson is committed to staying in Colorado for the long term. He wants to help build his team’s practice and make the Pikes Peak region medically independent from Denver.

It’s no mystery that motorists speed through Woodland Park and Teller County.

Some are headed to the casinos of Cripple Creek. Others are bound for the high country to ski, hike, fish or camp. Yet others are on cross-country adventures.

Whatever their destination, it seems far too many confused U.S. Highway 24 with an interstate freeway where their speedometers can spin wildly.

Spend any time on the roads and you’ll see them . . . the impatient drivers who tailgate, cut in and out of traffic to gain a few extra seconds, dangerously pass others, even blow through red lights.

So here are a few factoids you should know before hitting the road.

Speed reduction in Woodland Park?City Manager David Buttery is “furious”

when it comes to people running red lights in Woodland Park.

It’s something he sees every day while driving through town. Buttery knows how dangerous it is and it so offends him that he’s even been known to follow a scofflaw and confront them about their traffic sin.

He believes one solution is lowering the

speed limit on U.S. 24 through town. But those limits are the responsibility of the Colorado Department of Transportation.

He requested CDOT reduce the speed limit from 30 mph to 25 mph in the central part of the city. But CDOT denied his request.

Buttery still hopes to see the speed limit reduced one day.

Drag racing on Highway 24Jon DeVaux is the owner of Alpine

Firearms in Woodland Park, and he often sees cars drag racing past his shop.

Noticing this reckless behavior, he bought a radar gun. Based on his own observation, DeVaux said the average motorist travels 10 mph over the limit.

If the city is making an effort to stop speeding, DeVaux said, he hasn’t seen it. As far as he’s concerned, this is a problem

of manpower. There simply aren’t enough patrol cars to catch speeders in downtown Woodland Park, he said.

With two major highways cutting through the town, it’s challenging to get

traffic running smoothly and safely at peak volumes. What’s the big deal, you might be asking.

Miles DeYoung, chief of the Woodland Park Police Department, explained the risks of racing through any community, but especially in a place like downtown Woodland Park with a lot of tourists who might not know their surrounding or where they want to go and make sudden stops and turns.

“People tend to speed through Woodland Park, which increases the distance they need to stop when someone pulls out in front of them or they need to react to a hazard on the roadway,” DeYoung said.

The risks are multiplied when NASCAR wannabes travel in packs through town.

“This is where you end up with multiple vehicle accidents because there’s no reactionary gap between the motorists and the vehicle they’re following,” he said.

The Walmart intersection has a high crash probability, said Woodland Park

Patrol Sgt. Ryan Holzwarth. Red light enforcement has been enhanced in this area, but speeding isn’t limited to Woodland Park.

Green Mountain Falls Chief of Police Timothy Bradley has clocked people traveling 30 miles over the speed limit on U.S. 24.

The problem is just about as bad through town. Bradley has seen motorists roar through Green Mountain Falls going double the 25 mph.

“If that is not unsafe,” he said, “I am not sure what is.”

After seeing a trend

of dangerous driving habits in Green Mountain Falls, Bradley started a traffic enforcement program just 30 days after he joined the town’s police department in 2011.

He says the agency attaches bright orange flags to speed limit signs on both ends of town to draw attention to the posted speeds.

“We target a reasonable speed over the speed limit before we consider citing drivers,” Bradley said, noting that his officers don’t issue speeding tickets if a driver is traveling less than 10 mph over the limit.

As of early July, Green Mountain Falls police have issued 225 speeding tickets and 278 warnings in 2015. And contrary to the myth of bad drivers from Texas, the offenders were largely homegrown.

“Most of the drivers we have cited are from Colorado,” Bradley said.

The speeding problem seems to be less severe in Cripple Creek. Only five speeding tickets have been issued since June 1.

Despite the overwhelming amount of tourists this area sees during the summer, only one of those tickets was issued to someone from out of state, said Jesse Avery, dispatcher for the Cripple Creek Police

Department. It’s not about the moneyAnd contrary to the image of the small

town speed trap reaping huge financial windfalls for City Hall, traffic fines only comprise a small percentage of city budgets.

Speeding ticket revenue typically does not stand on its own as a statistic, and the data is usually reported alongside other fines.

As of July, Woodland Park has collected $21,048 in traffic fines. Overall, this is only 0.44 percent of the City’s $4,757,271 budget, reported Wallie Dingwell, Woodland Park finance director and treasurer.

Mary Duval, town clerk and treasurer for Green Mountain Falls, said that court revenue, which includes speeding tickets,

accounts for 6 percent of the town’s total annual budget.

Cripple Creek combines speeding ticket revenue with all other revenues generated from the police department and court. Fines and forfeitures, which include speeding tickets, totaled $11,595 in 2014 which only made up 0.0926 percent of the City’s $12,524,704 budget that year.

“As you can see, speeding tickets are quite insignificant in the big picture,” said Cripple Creek Finance Director Paul Harris.

While speeding ticket revenue might not be very significant overall, enforcing speeding laws is.

“The only correct answer to why anyone should enforce traffic laws anywhere is and should always be public safety,” Bradley said.

Since 2012, Woodland Park Deputy Chief of Police Miles De Young said drivers stopped for speeding have been given warnings about 50 percent of the time.

Recently, the nation’s first Tiny House Jamboree was held in El Paso County. I’m told over 40,000 people attended. There is obvious interest among the public in joining the “Tiny House Nation.”

We’re talking homes with less than 400 square feet that sell for $60,000 or less.

But before you try and squeeze yourself into a tiny house, there are a few big facts you ought to know.

Factory-built tiny houses, or “park models” as they have been known for years, are built to meet the ANSI-RIVIA standards. Think recreational vehicle.

They are built on a trailer and can be moved. However, unlike RV’s, they are not designed to provide water and wastewater storage.

More important, the factory-built units do not meet the minimum standards in the International Residential Building Code, or the Teller County Building Code, for a full-time residence.

Therefore, Teller County will not be issuing building permits for these units.

We are checking with some of the other counties in the state to see how they are addressing tiny houses and park models.

In fact, I have some advice for

the manufacturers of tiny houses. They should consider changing their designs so they meet the requirements of the standard building codes. At this time, the factory built units can only be considered RV’s.

While doing limited research, I noticed the leaders of the tiny house “movement” actively promote building your own.

If you are looking to live in a smaller, more energy-efficient, affordable home, there is no reason that can’t

be accomplished by building a small home that would meet the minimum standards of the International Residential Code and the Teller County Building Code.

One more suggestion: you should check neighborhood covenants as well as zoning codes before you build. There may be minimum size requirements for homes in the area you want to live. Your tiny house may not be welcome.

On a related note, we will be putting out a revised Building Permit Application that we hope will make the process flow better for you.

It will be on our website soon. Until next month. You can send your questions to

[email protected] Terry Brunette is the building

official for the Teller County Building Department.

Baby Boomers Benefit From Knee Arthritis Treatments Their Parents Could Only Dream About

Cutting-Edge Treatments and Technology Are Helping Knee Arthritis Sufferers Avoid Knee Replacement Surgery and Stay Active In Their 50’s, 60’s, 70’s and even 80’s

If you would like to discover a safe and effective medical treatment for knee arthritis pain and stiffness that has already helped thousands just like you, this will be the most important infor-mation you ever read.Here is why: Back in 2010, a medical clinic in Colorado Springs, CO named Osteo Relief Institute did something that would change the lives of thousands and thousands of people.They developed a knee

arthritis treatment program specifically designed for the knee

arthritis sufferers who not only want to relieve pain and stiffness... but also want to stay active. As patients got re-sults... the word spread like wildfire. Now the clinic receivesan over-whelming number of new patient inquiries per

month. It seems like eve-ry knee arthritis sufferer in the area wants this treatment. Some travel as many as 3 hours to be treated by the experts at Osteo Relief Institute.

But here’s where the story gets really good...

for YOU Because they knew how frustrating knee arthritis is and how life changing relieving their pain was... many patients wanted to share their story with others. That’s why they are willing to travel to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida and tell their stories for a special documentary being made about Os-teo Relief Institute and their knee pain treatment methods. Patients like William La S. flew to Florida and told how he couldn’t play golf due to arthri-tis pain - and now after

treatment, “It’s the best thing I ever did. It’s just - now I can play golf, I can walk, I can climb stairs, I can do things I did many years ago.” And then there is Shirley S. who could barely walk and was facing total knee replacement in both knees and after treatment said, “I just thank God for the treatment... It made me feel like a new woman.”

Are These Result Typical?

Let’s be very clear about this: this is not a “miracle cure” for arthritis. This is a real medi-cal treatment that has worked very well for thousands and thousands of people. But we are not sug- gesting that everyone (or

anyone) who gets this treatment is going to get the same results others have gotten. As with all medical treatments - the response is individual. And no one can say what your re-sponse to treatment willbe. But we can say with100% accuracy that countless people have lessened or even elimi-nated their pain - and gotten their active lives back after this treatment. And that is en- tirely possible for you, too. And that’s why people from all over the area are flocking to Osteo Re-lief Institute to give this

prom- ising treatment a try. That’s why they are offering a no-risk, no- obligation knee screen-ing designed specifically to see if this treatment might help you. But the biggest prob-lem is keeping up with the overwhelming de-mand. That’s why they have had to limit the number of screenings per month. The good news is, if you call 719-323-6612 within the next 2 days - you are guaran-teed a screening.

“ I wish I had known this 5 years ago...”

“I’ve had trouble with my knee walking. I’m a golfer and want to play golf but I couldn’t. I made the call and went down [to the Osteo Relief Institute] and it’s the best thing I ever did. It’s just – now I can play golf, I can walk, I can climb stairs, I can do things I did many years ago”. “It’s the smartest thing I ever did. Since I’ve been going to Osteo Relief for my knees I don’t take any pills, I take no over the counter medication...” “This is a good alterna-tive to surgery. I am so glad I went. I’m so confident I feel so good about it and I recom-mend it to everybody.” “Call up Osteo Relief. What have you got to lose. Have them check it out and they may help you.” “I wish I had known this five years ago.”

William La S.

“The treatment was won-derful”

“Five years ago I had knee surgery, had a replacement, and I was not happy with it. The therapy was painful and I’m still numb on one side and you can’t – you cannot kneel on your knee once you have that done.” “I was not sleeping at night, my leg was pounding, I knew it was getting near the point where it was a knee re-placement or find something new.” “The first treatment I felt great and each treatment for the five weeks that followed it became better and better. I mean I was going out danc-ing. I have grand kids, I play with them, I run with them. I volunteer and... do playtime with little children and you know it’s picking up toys and I volunteer at a nursing home. So I’m walking around, I take animals to the nursing home, so I’m walking the different floors and I have no problem – no problem whatsoever.”

Karen R.

How To Guarantee You Get A No-Risk, No-Obligation Knee Screening

The popularity of this treatment is amazing. Osteo Relief Institute receives an overwhelming num-ber of new patient inquires every month. But because this is real medical treatment- it is not for every-one. That’s why the experts have set-up a quick and easy No-Risk screening visit. This screening will help determine if you are a candidate for further examination and treatment. This screening is offered without any obligation what-so-ever, and you will get all of your questions

answered and find outif this treatment is for you with zero risk. Just call 719-323-6612. “l’d like a No-Obligation knee screening.” They will take care of every-thing. Due to over-whelming demand, spots are limited - but if you call in the next 2 days, Osteo Relief guarantees you will get your screening. This treatment is covered by most insurance and Medi-care. If you have knee arthritis pain -call now to see if you can get help.

How It Works: Advanced medical technology has now made it possible to safely relieve knee arthritis pain for many.When you have knee arthritis, the natural lubricating fluids in your knee “dry up.” This causes abnormal friction. Bones rub against each other, leading to stiffness, pain and eventually total joint destruction. This treatment works so well because a special lubricating gel is put directly into the arthritis joint...Instantly allowing the joint to glide more smoothly. Imagine putting oil on a rusty door hinge. Osteo Relief uses state-of-the-art digital imaging to see inside the knee joint to make sure the FDA-Approved lubricating gel medicine is placed precisely where you need it to get the best possible results.

“ I just thank God for this treatment”

“I really, couldn’t hardly walk. They wanted to replace both my knees, and I did not want both my knees replaced.” “Since I had the treatment I had been able to walk, I was able to walk up the steps. I was able to bend my knee and I’m able to shop in the supermarket with the car-riage, which I was never able to do all the time - now I’m able to walk down the street and able to walk in the park. I’m able to even lift things and go up the steps which is a miracle. I just thank God for the treatment.” “It made me feel like a new woman. It was amazing.” ”I can’t thank that doctor and staff enough for what they had done for me. I would tell anyone who has gone through what I have to take the step.” ”I wish I’d known about this option years ago.”

Shirley S.

Participation is up nationally; Colorado ranks 20thDanny [email protected]

As a sports reporter and parent, I think this is great news: the number of kids playing high school sports keeps growing and breaking records.

For the 26th consecutive year, participation was up in 2014-15, according to a report by the National Federation of State High School Associations, or NFHS.

We’re talking 7.8 million kids involved in sports. It’s a U.S. record.

Colorado ranks 20th nationally with 128,600 participants.

Interestingly, participation by boys dipped slightly to 4.5 million while the number of girls keeps climbing, reaching a record 3.2 million.

It’s no surprise 11-man football remains the runaway leader in boys sports with 1.1 million players, followed by outdoor track and fi eld (578,632), basketball (541,479), baseball (486,567) and soccer (432,569). The remainder of the top 10 is wrestling (258,208), cross country (250,981), tennis (157,240), golf (148,823) and swimming/diving

(137,087).Girls favor outdoor track and fi eld,

volleyball and basketball, followed by soccer (375,681), softball (364,103), cross country (221,616), tennis (182,876), swimming/diving (166,838), competitive spirit squads (125,763) and lacrosse (84,785).

We’ve heard for years now that football participation is down among our nation’s youth. The common thought – and it’s probably true – is that parents and kids are concerned with the risk factor of the game. Coupled by the fact that soccer is becoming an increasingly more popular game among youth and it is easy to see why football participation is on a downward trend.

Among the top 10 boys sports, soccer registered the largest gain with an additional 15,150 participants. The largest drops were in wrestling (11,306) and, you guessed it, 11-man football (9,617).

Besides soccer, other top 10 boys sports that had increases in the number of participants were baseball (3,938) and basketball (425).

While boys are leaving wrestling, girls are discovering it as their participation increased by 1,592 for a total of 11,496.

“While football participation dropped this past year, the decrease

is not that signifi cant when you consider more than 1.1 million boys and girls are involved in the sport at the high school level,” said Bob Gardner, NFHS executive director.

And Gardner seemed to dispute the trend of kids abandoning their

high school teams in favor of playing for high-level club team.

“Despite other out-of-school opportunities that exist in some sports,” he said, “this year’s survey is yet another confi rmation that our model of education-based sports within the high school setting is the No. 1 choice for boys and girls nationwide.”

Among non-traditional sports, archery and rifl ery registered signifi cant jumps in participation. An additional 2,877 participants (boys and girls) in archery brings the overall total to 7,744 with schools in eight states sponsoring the sport. Rifl ery was up 1,010 participants for a total of 4,238

with competition in 10 states.In many instances, economic

conditions and the size of a school’s student body dictates how many sports are offered. Cripple Creek-Victor was forced to drop its wrestling program a few years ago because of the lack of participation. And declining enrollment forced the school’s football team to drop from 11-man to 8-man in 2012.

Woodland Park has also seen a sharp drop in enrollment at the high school level, which has impacted most of the school’s athletic teams. The only team sport to qualify for the postseason during the 2014-15 school year was softball and girls cross country.

In fact, softball is the only team sport to reach the postseason the last two years. The softball team has made the playoffs each year since 2011.

“There was a time when softball was not even mentioned up in the Woodland Park area,” said Woodland Park coach Dale Huntington.

There is no reason to believe Huntington’s crew will not make another playoff push this season with the return of several key players.

Whether or not the school’s football, volleyball, cross country, boys’ soccer and boys’ golf teams follow suit this fall remains to be seen.

High school sports participation up again

Woodland Park hoping to improve upon last year’s 2-8 markDanny [email protected]

There is no off-season and very little rest for the weary if you are involved with the Woodland Park High School football program.

The Panthers spent the summer lifting weights and conditioning several days each week, attending a football camp at Colorado State University, and a passing league in Colorado Springs.

They also helped organize a golf fundraiser at Shining Mountain Golf Club. And they put in countless hours moving hay bales and fi rewood, removing tree trunks, clearing brush, anytime of yard work, cutting down trees, painting houses and even helping people move.

All those activities were intended to draw the team closer together in preparation for what players and coaches are hoping is the most successful season for the school in more than a decade.

“This summer we really tried to focus on the team as a unit and as a family,” said Woodland Park senior quarterback Cecil Cox. “We learned to

depend on one another and work as a unit.

“As a result of all the things we did in the off-season we’re happy to see our buddies succeed. We know that our buddies have our back. We’re able to trust each other and the rollover effect has been amazing.”

The optimism among players and coaches has never been higher in recent years. Joe Roskam is beginning his fi fth season at the helm of the program. He inherited a team that had lost 19 of 23 games over two-plus seasons and quickly transformed the Panthers into a .500 team his fi rst year (5-5 in 2011). But the program has yet to improve upon that mark, posting consecutive records of 3-7, 5-5 and 2-8.

“I’m really thinking we should be a lot better,” said Roskam, who coached Cripple Creek-Victor once upon a day. “We have a great offense and a great group of returning guys.”

Roskam is moving back to defensive coordinator this season. Brett Nelson takes over as the offensive coordinator.

This year’s squad is stacked with seniors and a plethora of experience. Cox (some call him Matt) is a four-year starter and is ready to take the leap to the next level.

Last season, Cox completed 85 of 173 passes for 899 yards and fi ve touchdowns. He also led the team in rushing with 628 yards

on 116 attempts (5.4 yards per carry) and six touchdowns.

“Cecil had worked really hard so that he can have a better year,” Joe Roskam said. “I’m proud of him.”

Sophomore Dominic Roskam, the coach’s son, rushed for 532 yards and eight touchdowns on 98 carries (5.4 yards per attempt) and established himself as a legitimate threat in his fi rst high school season.

The top receivers are expected to be seniors Sam Garner (26 receptions for 251 yards) and Joey Ereon (11 for

120).Leading the way

on the offensive line is senior Devin Carter and junior Orion Drummond.

Senior defensive back Zak Hess will help anchor the secondary, which was extremely vulnerable last season.

The Panthers will unveil new uniforms this fall. They will have the same familiar green and white color scheme. The team used money raised from the golf fundraiser and “Labor Sales” to pay for the uniforms, new footballs, helmets and other equipment.

The total cost was about $14,000.

“We earned these uniforms and that means a lot more knowing that we earned them,” said junior lineman Orion Drummond.

Woodland Park opens its season at home Sept. 4 against Rampart. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. Rampart defeated Woodland Park in last year’s season opener 40-7.

Rampart is a 4A team and made the playoffs in 2014, losing in the fi rst round to Fort Collins.

Woodland Park

fi nished third in the 3A Southern Conference in 2014. The league boasts Discovery Canyon and Canon City, both picked in the top 10 in the CHSAANow.com preseason poll.

“I’m not going to make any predictions, but I just want to encourage our fans to come out and cheer us on,” Carter said. “I think they may be surprised.”

Drummond added: “To be the best you have to beat the best. I’m glad we play in one of the best conferences in the state.”

Strong off season has made Panthers a more cohesive group

BACK TO SCHOOLIt's the SeasonAugust 19, 2015

Panthers opened regular season play Aug. 25 against Valor ChristianDanny [email protected]

In her years playing softball for Woodland Park High School, Chrissy Cunningham has been a starting center fi elder, shortstop and now pitcher.

The senior is taking over the starting chores on the mound this fall and hopes to help the Panthers to another postseason berth.

Cunningham is the team’s third ace pitcher in three seasons, following Mallorie Trichell and Lexie Comer, who is now playing for Colorado Mesa.

“I defi nitely picked up my attitude on the mound from Lexie and how she carried herself,” Cunningham said with confi dence.

Cunningham appeared in just four games last season totaling 4.1 innings. She was lethal at the plate, where she sported a .446 batting average with four extra base hits and 13 RBIs.

When Cunningham is not pitching she will likely play a middle infi eld position. Other pitchers expected to see time on the mound are juniors Jayllan Krause and Kelly Marolf. Krause plays a strong second base and Marolf covers plenty of ground in the outfi eld.

Senior Savanna Simpson will be the team’s starting catcher. She was

injured part of last season and split the catching duties with Gabbi Talbot, who returns for her senior season. Simpson batted .596 (28 for 47) with eight extra base hits and 14 RBIs. Talbot, the team’s starting shortstop this season, batted .333 with six extra base hits and 17 RBIs in 2014.

“We don’t really have a big team this year, but we’re solid all the way around,” Talbot said. “A big part of that is just supporting each other.”

The Panthers have been working together on a consistent basis since March. They are poised to make a run at a third consecutive Class 4A Metro League championship. Their team motto this year: “Today we will do what others won’t, so tomorrow we will do what others can’t.” It will be displayed on the back of their warm up jerseys.

“This is what we focus on every single day,” said senior fi rst baseman Hayley Corbiere. “This is why we started with conditioning in March; to stay in shape and to keep that banner.”

Coach Dale Huntington returns for his fi fth season at helm. He has directed the Panthers to four consecutive postseason appearances. Woodland Park is 62-23 under Huntington, including a school-record 18-4 mark in 2014.

Woodland Park has not lost a league game since 2012, winning 20 consecutive contests over the past two seasons.

“Our coaches always say ‘Nobody works harder than you,’” Talbot said. “That’s what we try to live up to every

day.”The Panthers sported a gaudy .429

team batting average last season. Corbiere believes the Panthers may be stronger defensively than in year’s past.

“I feel we’re more of a defensive team,” Corbiere said. “(Coach Huntington) wants the other teams to hit the ball so our defense can make plays. We feel like we can make the plays.”

Senior Bre Trucelli is expected to be the Panthers’ starting center fi elder.

Top sophomores include Celeste

Cervantes and transfer Jillian Lalaune.The Panthers opened their season

Aug. 25 at home (Woodland Park Middle School) against defending 4A state champion Valor Christian. Results of that game were not available at press time. Woodland Park lost to Valor Christian twice last season; in the season opener and in the district tournament. Both of those games were played at Valor Christian.

Woodland Park hosts Conifer on Aug. 29, and closes out the month with another non-league game at Vista Ridge on Aug. 31.

Panthers volleyball team ready to spike, dig, block and volleyWoodland Park volleyball team was 15-8 last fallDanny [email protected]

Will the “Great Eight” be good

enough to lead the Woodland Park High School volleyball team to its fi rst postseason appearance in fi ve seasons?

That question, of course, will be answered in the coming months as the Panthers and their eight seniors take the court for their last season as a unit.

“This team has been together since seventh grade, so our realistic goal is winning regionals,” said setter Jenny Lau. “We have a lot of heart in this team.”

This group might just have the right stuff to make a serious run at the school’s fi rst volleyball league

championship since 1992, when the Panthers fi nished as the Class 4A runner-up.

All eight started as juniors – although a couple battled injuries – to help Woodland Park to a 15-8 overall record, 9-5 in the 4A Metro League.

Panthers volleyball team ready to spike, dig, block and volleychampionship since 1992, when the Panthers finished as the Class 4A runner-up.



The Woodland Park volleyball team enjoyed its best season in many years in 2014 by posting a15-8 record. The Pan-thers return eight seniors this season. Pictured here, (back row left to right): Michelle Cruse, Sierra Wilson, Heather McDonald, Alex Ryan and Kylie Mitchell; (front row left to right: Laura Morand, Jenny Lau and Caitlan Thorne. //Photo by Danny Summers

//continued from page 14

They finished tied for fourth place, narrowly missing the playoffs.

“We have to have a lot of teamwork and a lot of sticking together,” said outside hitter Michelle Cruse. “We all know each other really well and we all know how each other plays. If we play together, really hard, we can make it to state.”

Rounding out the eight seniors are middle blocker Alex Ryan (at 5-foot-10 she is the tallest player in the team), right side hitter

Sierra Wilson (played only four sets in 2014 due to a torn ACL), outside hitters Heather McDonald and Kayla Woods, utility Kylie Mitchell, and defensive specialists Caitlan Thorne and Laura Morand.

“We’ve always been known as a scrappy team” Wilson said. “We’ve had success and we’re going to keep playing that way.”

Woodland Park has produced some great individual players in recent years; names like Hannah Sauer, Carly Vahsholtz, Linnea Sauer,

Paloma Juarros, Elin Saxon and Maureen Cummings quickly come to mind. They each one of them stood out, for one reason or another the team didn’t live up to expectations or underperformed at critical times.

“This is a true team,”

said Stacy Roshek, in her 10th season as Panthers’ head coach. “There’s not a go-to girl – yet. But they are a strong, cohesive team. They excel on defense and they’re very scrappy.

“We play in a tough league; a very competitive league.

We should make the playoffs if we play up to the level we’re capable of playing.”

The top 36 teams (based on a points system) qualify for the postseason. There are 12 three-team regionals, with the winner of each regional advancing to

the state tournament.Woodland Park

opens its season Sept. 1 at Buena Vista. The Panthers hosted a five-team scrimmage on Aug. 22 that included Air Academy, Coronado, Mitchell and Elizabeth.

The saga of the Wildwood Casino’s convenience store and gas station continued before the Cripple Creek City Council.

Wildwood general manager Kevin Werner asked permission to amend the Wildwood’s convenience store and gas station site plan to add a recreational vehicle dump and fi ll station on the site. It would be located northeast of the fuel pumps, along the current alley.

Werner explained that the Wildwood plans a small, nine-space RV park at the Gold King Mountain Inn. The Wildwood owns the Gold King and is buying additional properties in the casino and motel area.

“We originally planned to put the RV dump up there but then we thought moving it to the gas station site would service more people,” Werner said. “The RV spaces at the Gold King will have electric power but no water.

“There will be no charge for this service.“It will have easy access. It is as far from homes as we can make it and we believe there will be no odor.”

City administrator, Ray DuBois, noted there are two RV dumps in town, at Eagle’s Landing and Hospitality House. He questioned whether the new dump would be equitable to everyone as to costs.

Council members also expressed a mild concern over the impact on water and sewer rates. The sewer rate is based on water consumption.

“I cannot quantify the impact on the City at this point,” DeBois said.

As far as any increased impact on the sewer system itself, public works director, Jim Blasing, said “We have no problem.”

Eventually the Council unanimously approved an amendment to the convenience store site plan to add the RV dump.

In Other NewsIn a brief Cripple Creek City Council meeting Aug.

19, the Teller County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan was adopted. City administrator Ray DuBois presented the resolution.

DuBois said the 320-page Plan was prepared and

updated in accordance with FEMA requirements, the Disaster Mitigation Act and the Robert T Stafford Act, and was mandatory. The parties to the Plan include Teller County, Woodland Park, Victor and Cripple Creek.

“With the City adopting it,” DuBois said, “all parties have now adopted it.”

On fi rst readings of proposed ordinances, Council voted to repeal an out-dated parking ordinance and to vacate a portion of an alley right-of-way on West Warren Avenue. Other portions of the alley have already been vacated in prior years. A local property owner requested the vacation in order to build a residential garage on his property.

The repealed ordinance, which was put in place when gaming was fi rst approved, has not been enforced for some years. It prohibited on-street parking in much of the downtown area.

In reply to a citizen question, DuBois said parking changes in the 200 block of Bennett have been put on hold. Bus loading and parking remains the same for now. There will be further discussions.

Tribune staff report

A Woodland Park couple, Robert and Marcia Konczak, have been ordered to pay nearly $1 million for a federal Small Business Administration loan related to their failed restaurant business.

“They owe the U.S. government $884,666.09 from an SBA loan guarantee they failed to pay,” said Jeff Dorschner, spokesman for U.S. Attorney Tom Walsh in Denver. “We sued them in March 2014 on behalf of the SBA when administrative debt collection was not productive.”

The Konczaks were ordered to pay by U.S. Magistrate Judge Craig Shaffer who found them liable for the original loan and subsequent expenses trying to recover it.

According to court documents, in 2003, “Konczak’s Koncepts,” a Woodland Park restaurant company run by the couple, obtained a $684,000 loan from the SBA under its “504 loan program.”

Under that program, the SBA guaranteed 100 percent of the Konczaks’ debt through a debenture, which is not secured by physical assets or collateral. As part of the loan terms, the Konczaks also guaranteed the loan, making them personally liable for the debt.

When Konczak’s Koncepts failed in 2007, it also defaulted on its obligation to repay the loan. The SBA then honored its debenture and paid the loan off, assumed the debt, and attempted to recover on the Konczaks’ guarantees.

But the Konczaks refused to pay, Dorschner said Friday. After several years of unsuccessful collection efforts, the SBA referred the matter to the U.S. Attorney’s Offi ce for enforcement.

After a trial, Shaffer ruled the Konczaks are liable for the full amount of the loan guarantees, plus other mandatory statutory fees resulting from the SBA and Department of the Treasury’s collection efforts.

Robert Konczak is the former owner of Johnny Nolon’s Saloon and Gambling Emporium in Cripple Creek as well as the former owner of the Zak’s Tavern and Grill and Primo’s restaurants in Woodland Park. Both restaurants eventually closed and today, Denny’s is in the same location.

Museum fundraiser planned


Approves ordinance amending rules for constructing elder-care facilitiesNorma [email protected]

Woodland Park City Hall was packed with law enforcement offi cers and offi cials as deputy Police Chief Miles DeYoung was appointed by Woodland Park City Council to head the Woodland Park Police Department.

Spectators included most of the Woodland Park offi cers, police chiefs from Cripple Creek and Green Mountain Falls, District Attorney Dan May and others. After his mother and wife pinned on his new insignia, DeYoung was sworn in and took his place at the dais.

At its Aug. 21 meeting, council also appointed Peter Scanlon and Patricia Hyslop to the planning commission, Gene Mertlick to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board and Anita Illingworth to the Keep Woodland Park Beautiful Committee. The city will continue to advertise to fi ll the remaining KWPB open position.

During public comment, Paul Oppman presented fi ndings on how other cities handle cat licensing. Councilmember Phil Mella suggested that people who want the city to license cats and hold their owners responsible if their cats damage neighboring properties should start and present a petition to the city rather than to continue presenting anecdotal information about a potential cat problem.

Public Works Director William Alspach said pavement maintenance projects in the city will be completed within the next week or so.

Council approved:• An ordinance on fi rst reading

that would allow Woodland Park Community Church to convert a basement into a temporary

emergency shelter. • An ordinance on second reading

that deletes a minimum one-acre lot size and 100-foot setbacks for construction of elder-care facilities next to single family residential districts and would add these facilities as conditional uses in multi-family zones.

• A conditional use permit for Douglas Potter and Candace Quist-Potter to convert a commercial property in the city into a residential property. Councilmember Bob Carlsen voted against the permit because, in his opinion, the building will not be aesthetically pleasing.

• A one-year franchise agreement extension for TDS Baja Broadband.

After adjournment, council went into executive session to receive legal advice on negotiations related to acquiring property for the aquatic center.

Two weeks after construction crews discovered human remains while demolishing an old cabin along Rampart Range Road, the identity of the body remains a mystery.

According to Teller County Coroner Al

Born, the autopsy includes examining the jaw and the teeth.

“The dentist has received all the materials and we’re waiting for the identifi cation,” Born said.

When the remains were found, Born, along with the Woodland Park Police Department and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, opened the investigation.

Alspach said service providers used to fi x their mistakes and many still do but it’s becoming more common for some companies to make messes and then walk away.

“We have 55 miles of streets,” he said. “We need to protect that investment. … I don’t have any way right now to make companies fi x their work. When it’s shoddy, it’s the property owners who are left holding the bag.”

Wiley used maps and photos to show council the problems the city faces when there are so many service providers using city space.

“It’s getting crowded down there,” he said. “More and more infrastructure is going underground. When we need to make repairs we fi nd lines on top of lines.”

The city’s current ordinance doesn’t address newer practices such as directional boring, which does away with many pavement cuts and trenching but also can send service lines through city sewer mains, for example.

The new ordinance will list new

responsibilities for permit holders and new enforcement policies that will allow the city to remedy problems without going through the courts.

Alspach said the new ordinance:• Standardizes and updates

permits for a level playing fi eld.• Creates fl exibility.• Gives the city enforcement

powers when companies choose to do poor work.

• Extends the work schedule to 120 days.

• Clarifi es and establishes work boundaries.

• Protects pavement and infrastructure.

• Regulates directional boring.

The ordinance, if approved, would give staff guidance to create new regulations and fee structures, which can be approved later by resolution. The proposed ordinance will be part of the Sept. 3 city council packet available online at www.city-woodlandpark.org.

RESTLESS NATIVE

Giving credit where it’s due to overlooked community memberBy Bill [email protected]

Shame on me. In praising our generous readers for pitching in

to help Woodland Park observe its fi rst ever National Night Out, I overlooked someone who deserved a ton of credit for helping make the evening a success.

Maybe it was because he’s a member of the Courier family. Don’t we always take for granted the work of those who are closest to us?

How often do we thank our spouses and kids for all that they do? We just expect the meals to be cooked, the dishes washed, the clothes cleaned and dried. Oh we might complain when the chores go unfi nished but do we ever genuinely thank them for their daily contributions? That’s just what they’re supposed to do, right?

Perhaps that’s how I overlooked Cord Prettyman, our fi tness guru who weekly offers insight and advice on maintaining our physical and mental health.

I don’t know Cord well. But from my few interactions, and as a fan of his writing, I can tell he’s genuine in his concern for his fellow man and his community.

And no doubt that’s what motivated Cord to get involved in the National Night Out event. Genuine concern for the community and the need to bring Woodland Park residents and its police force closer together to avoid the kind of fear and paranoia that exists toward police in other cities.

I knew Cord was interested in National Night Out because he had approached me to see if the Courier

might publicize it. Of course I was happy to because I’ve seen just how effective the National Night Out program and its related Neighborhood Watch programs are nationwide. They turn neighbors from strangers into friends and, as a result, slash crime rates because the new friends take an interest in each other and call police when they suspicious activity.

But it wasn’t until later I learned the true extent of Cord’s involvement.

Less than three weeks before the event, he was asked if his company, Absolute Workout, would help sponsor it. He did much more than just write a check. He quickly got busy designing a marketing program.

Cord and his secretary made phone calls to get the information on all the town’s electronic signs and spent more than $800 on supplies and on printing 750 fl iers that were distributed throughout the community. He also sent out three mass emails to spread the word and personally visited businesses to circulate the fl iers.

How’s that for a mere “sponsor” of the event?Without his diligence, I would not have known of

the National Night Out and it’s doubtful many would have come out in support.

Truth is, the best neighborhoods typically have one or two people who are the catalysts for the barbecues and the picnics and potlucks that make a

place special.Same for our schools, church groups, businesses

and communities.Without people like Cord Prettyman who are

willing to fi ll the void and give of their bank accounts and of themselves, we’d be just another place to live.

Luckily, we have a lot of great people, like Cord and the folks who responded to the National Night Out and who give of themselves every day to make this place so special.

So at the risk of embarrassing Cord, this my overdue thank you. (And, while I’m thinking of it, thanks for the columns you write each week. For free. I really appreciate and enjoy them. And so do our readers!)

Lost cities on Pikes Peak: Maybe it’s something in the waterRob [email protected]

Real estate people will always tell you it is location, location and location. And they are right to a degree. But when speculating, luck also seems to play a strong hand as well.

Consider the communities of Jones Park, Lake Moraine and Seven Lakes.

“It was rather diffi cult to climb to the summit of Pikes Peak until the observatory of the U.S. Army Signal Service was established there 1873 and a trail built up the southeast slope of Pikes Peak,” notes Ivan W. Brunk in his 1989 book “Shattered Dreams on Pikes Peak.”

“It was a long journey, but hotels at Lake Moraine and Seven Lakes enabled travelers to make the adventure a less arduous two-day trip to the peak,” writes Brunk.

“However, these hotels survived only a few years because of the opening

of a much shorter route to the summit in 1880. The settlement at Jones Park lasted for a number of years, and there were many plans for rather grandiose developments, including railroads, resorts and a dam. But for one reason or another, none of these projects materialized.”

Partly because travel to them was primarily by burro or horseback, and partly because most things had to be hauled in by those means because very little agricultural produce was possible at that altitude, the populations remained small.

In 1890, the city of Colorado Springs purchased 784 acres in the Bear Creek drainage including Lake Moraine to improve the city’s water supply. Shortly afterward they enlarged the natural dam there.

In the Seven Lakes area prior to 1902, various major historic players vied for the water rights (and then the property itself) until the city was

ready to complete its storage project there. Among those involved in such acquisitions were historic fi gures like Irving Hobart, The Woods Investment Co., and Dr. Mayo G. Smith.

By the authority of an act of Congress on May 1, 1902, the city was authorized to purchase 7,000 acres from the U.S. government for $1.25 per acre. Shortly after they began a storage project that the city staff completed in 1905.

During that effort, the city’s contractors took 17 feet of water out the fi rst lake and the bottom could not be found. At that time, the chairman of the water committee, a man by the name of St. John, said: “When the dam is built, the lakes of apparently no bottom will be covered by a large body of water, and one of the prettiest to be found in the state.”

A tunnel 2,330 feet long though the divide of Seven Lakes transports water to Lake Moraine and is called the St. John tunnel.

In 1948, the city of Colorado Springs bought some of the land that had included Jones Park and then purchased the remainder in 1952.







You might fi nd this shocking! When The Lights Went On!Mel McFarland

We think nothing of it now, but electricity didn’t come to Monument and Palmer Lake until 1932.

The communities up Ute Pass -- Cascade, Green Mountain Falls, Chipita Part, with the exception of Woodland Park -- were getting electricity from the power plant in Manitou.

But not the Tri-Lakes region. It fi nally came to Monument and Palmer Lake because of an idea from a man from Kansas! And it was not so much for homes, but mainly to light the streets.

Dwight Chapin, of Wichita, Kan., applied to both communities for a franchise to build a power line from the closest available line. That line was actually at Elizabeth, Colo.

The line his company built ran from

there to Greenland, where it split, sending one line to Larkspur the other to Palmer Lake following the “Denver Road.”

Now, I have talked about the old road in the past, but the original road followed the railroad lines between Palmer Lake and Larkspur. The newer, shorter,

more direct route was still under construction in 1932.

New equipment was being installed at Elizabeth, along with bigger generators, needed for the new

coverage. It would be ready once the new power lines were fi nished.

The primary function was to provide the street lighting, but it was immediately available for residents in the communities, as well as anyone along the new line.

Many year-round residents, and a few seasonal ones, were lining up to get the service. A few of the homes and farms had their own generators, but most people were still using oil lanterns.

The new power line would not extend past Monument south or east until it was seen how many customers would need to be served.

By late summer the construction of the power line was well in place. Crews did not reach Monument until winter.

At fi rst the power was only on limited

times. Electricity generally came on in the late afternoon until about 10 p.m. During the day, the power was turned off as crews worked on the extension of the lines. Even then, the demand was such that power was unpredictable.

Mental Health: As Colorado turns the corner, still work aheadDr. Mick PattinsonGuest Columnist

One in four people has a mental illness each year. Less than half will seek treatment due to stigma and lack of access. These are our friends, family members, coworkers and fellow students who suffer unnecessarily. Today, it is time to increase mental health awareness and care in our communities.

Crisis stabilization services, initiated by Gov. John Hickenlooper and the Colorado Department of Human Services late last year, are providing care for anyone, regardless of ability to pay, with walk-in and telephonic support. The crisis centers, including the one in Colorado Springs, have been game-changers for Colorado, saving lives and families through intervention and prevention.

To improve access to our Colorado Springs-based Crisis Stabilization Unit for residents in neighboring counties such as Teller, the Ute Pass Ambulance provides emergency transportation as needed.

If you need help, call the Colorado Crisis Services toll-free at 1-844-493-8255, for confi dential and immediate professional help 24 hours-a-day, 7 days a week or visit www.ColoradoCrisisServices.org.

Additionally, health care access for low-income Americans has improved under the Affordable Care Act, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) “State Mental Health Legislation

2014” report. Colorado is participating in this Medicaid expansion, thereby growing the eligibility and coverage of behavioral health care.

As the Medicaid provider for El Paso, Teller and Park Counties, AspenPointe has seen a 50 percent increase in patients. We are deeply committed to providing services to those families and individuals who were previously uninsured. The recent Teller County offi ce relocation has allowed for the expansion of adult, children and group services, thus increasing access.

We will reach even more people by integrating physical and behavioral health services in order to achieve quality, effective and timely whole-person care. According to some studies, as many as 70 percent of primary care visits stem from behavioral and social issues. While patients typically present with a physical health complaint, data illustrates that underlying behavioral health needs including mental health or substance abuse issues are often triggering these visits.

Primary care providers can fi nd immediate solutions to assist with the behavioral health needs but can become challenged to navigate the unfamiliar systems. In other situations, they lack the time to fully address the wide range of behavioral issues that are presented by the patients.

Best practice models that are working to improve the whole-person-care experience include integrating behavioral health care consultants into primary care.

In Teller County, AspenPointe integrates direct care with Peak Vista Community Health Centers in Divide to deliver this best practice to patients for ease of access and care at several sites in Colorado Springs.

Of course, everyday people may or may not know they have a mental illness. They may not tell their primary care physician that they are “depressed,” but they may disclose sleep issues, anxiousness, diet changes or increased alcohol consumption. All of these behaviors can be symptoms of a behavioral health issue that a primary care physician is not comfortable or capable of treating.

We are honored to partner in Teller County with other local mental health advocate organizations to include the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) and its Provider Education Program as well as the Colorado Department of Human Services and the Department of Social Services.

I am encouraged by the increased mental health awareness in our community, yet fully understand that access and stigmas prevent many from receiving the health care they need. We are dedicated to overcoming these and other barriers in providing exceptional health care.

Dr. Mick Pattinson is president and chief executive offi cer of AspenPointe.

Snap, crackle, pop of joint pain can signal serious health problemsCord Prettyman

The timeless joke goes: “You know you’re getting old, when your joints are more accurate at predicting the weather than the local weatherman.”

Sad but true. That snap-crackle-and-pop you

hear with every step you take and every move you make is not the Rice Krispies in your pocket. It’s what’s known in the health and fi tness industry as crepitus … as in decrepit.

According to the August 2015 issue of Health Radar, achy or stiff joints can not only make your life miserable … they can kill you. Not quickly like a heart attack or stroke but slowly, like a dripping faucet, limiting your ability to move, which can trigger a medical death spiral.

“Inactivity is comparable to smoking a pack of cigarettes a day and it’s four times as prevalent as smoking,” says renowned cardiologist James Rippe. Rippe is the founder of the Rippe Lifestyle Institute, a research

and educational organization.

“Joint problems are the leading cause of inactivity and the condition is not only painful but a serious threat to overall health, says Rippe.”

With seven in ten Americans over the age of 34 reporting some form of joint stiffness or pain,

experts say there’s a serious problem brewing.

WebMD educates us that joints form the connections between bones providing skeletal support and the structure for movement. Knee pain is the most common culprit with shoulder and hip pain closely behind. However, joint pain can affect any part of your body from your feet to your neck and every joint in between.

A multitude of conditions can lead to painful joints, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, bursitis, gout, strains and sprains, as well impact injuries. Osteoarthritis is the most prevalent form of arthritis affecting approximately 27 million Americans and holds the distinction of being the main cause of joint pain.

According to the National Institute of Health, back in the mid-70’s and 1980’s, osteoarthritis and its resultant joint pain were considered an inevitable consequence of aging or injury about which little could be done. Patients were told to take anti-infl ammatory pain relievers, rest their joints and avoid exercise.

Today, instead of rest, the NIH recommends moderate exercise as one of the fi rst treatment modalities for joint pain. Clinical trials have shown that exercise reduces joint pain and stiffness, increases fl exibility and muscle strength and improves cardiac fi tness and endurance.

Exercise can also result in weight

loss, which is no small matter when it comes to your joints. Each extra pound of body weight adds three pounds of extra pressure on knee joints and six pounds of extra pressure on hip joints.

Do the math. If you’re just 10 pounds overweight, that extrapolates to an additional 30 pounds of pressure on you knees and 60 pounds on your hips.

Given the obesity epidemic in America, it should come as no surprise that there are 719,000 knee replacements and 332,000 hip replacements every year.

Tune in next week for the skinny on treatment options for achy joints and joint replacement.

Community made Mountain Arts Festival a success

Dear Editor,

The Mountain Artists want to thank the Pikes Peak Courier and the community of Woodland Park for contributing to the success of our 30th Annual Mountain Arts Festival.

Our visitors from town and the surrounding communities have, as always, been wonderfully supportive.

A special thank you to Pat Hill for her article on Gail Duesler, who is one of our members.

We are also grateful to Debbie Pinello, from the UPCC, and the rest of the staff at City Hall who were instrumental in assisting us with all the preparations for a successful event.

We look forward to our 31st festival in 2016.

Sincerely,

Carolyn Dimig

Wedding chapel dispute no ‘feud’ and certainly no laughing matter

To the Editor, It was disappointing to see the

story headlines “Neighborhood feud silences wedding bells” as an attempt to minimize the true nature of the problem being debated at the Aug. 11th Planning meeting. This was a problem that focused on an organization that was purposely and defi antly being non-compliant with their granted conditional use permit. This debate was not the result of a “feud.” It was an attempt to have the nonresident Lodge operators bring the usage back into compliance as a retreat center for single women, not as a expanded event and wedding center. The original use permit did not permit this level of activity. While it is true that we were supportive of the Lodge’s ministry, we were led to believe by the operators that their permit allowed the expanded and weekly events? It was only after the activities became too disruptive, did we discover that the Lodge was operating totally out of compliance with the original intent, as represented to the neighbors in 2007. What was originally represented as a quiet ministry for single women, had turned into a commercial event center.

During the Planning Commission hearing a number of negative comments

were made regarding ourselves and the Lehmann’s (neighbors bordering the north edge of the lodge property). These were unwarranted and an attempt to turn the conversation into an emotional debate, and avoid the legal debate so well defi ned by the county planning team; Lynda Morgan and Dan Williams. Due to the defi ance by which the Lodge operated, the county accepted the Planning Department’s recommendation and revoked the Lodge’s Conditional Use Permit.

I take personal exception that the Courier thinks that this has been a fun and entertaining experience for either us, or the operators and owners of the Lodge. The closing comment to “hold onto your popcorn” suggests that this is a trivial matter. On a personal level, I challenge anyone to choose to live next door to a commercial enterprise that is focused on weekly celebrations with all of its associated noise, lights and people. As a citizen of Divide, this debate is critical as we work to enforce the community’s intent for a rural environment which protects the tranquility, natural beauty and water resources of our town. Feel free to visit the Facebook page “Save Rural Divide” for more information. This further defi nes how the Divide Regional Plan works to protect the rural qualities of the Divide area.

In the 21st century, school districts rely on marketing to tout the advantages of their schools above all others. The competition is fi erce, a result of school choice, charter schools, budget cuts and changing curriculum.

In a drive to stay on top, two years ago, the Woodland Park School District initiated a volunteer 23-member task force to plan the future of a district which loses students every year, for one reason or another.

And always, the district battles the rumor mill, accusations of drugs by students and a mediocre curriculum.

“There is so much good stuff happening here; unfortunately, people hear the bad stuff, the rumors and make assumptions based on that,” said Mark Platten, extension agent for Colorado State University and member of the task force.

In the past two years, the district has implemented several programs that offer students a range of academic advantages.

“The charge was to help us, as a school district, come up with ideas around attracting and retaining families,” said district superintendent Jed Bowman.

He said the district listened and is implementing change.

“We’ve tried to take what families have said they want and try to match that,” Bowman said.

Here are some of the issues and the district’s response:

SCIENCETo enhance the science curriculum,

the task force suggested the district hold classes outside. As a result, in a partnership with the Catamount Institute, students from kindergarten through fi fth-grade spend one day a week in at Aspen Valley Ranch for environmental studies, part of the Elevate Environmental Education curriculum.

“This makes it a magnet to draw families in,” Platten said.

The Institute’s executive director, Chris Aaby, highlights the importance of the E3 program:

“I want to see a day when all children have outdoor experiential learning as part of their school day and in the elementary schools in RE-2 that is exactly what is happening. The E3 program truly embodies Catamount Institute’s mission of developing ecological stewards through education and adventure. These young students will grow up learning all about the ecosystems, weather, trees, and plants in the area they live. This will create a love for the land and community they call home.”

COLLEGE CREDITSA partnership with Pikes Peak

Community College offers high-school students the opportunity to earn college credits.

“A child can choose not to graduate and go a fi fth year to Pikes Peak Community College,” Bowman said. “We’re just trying

to understand the astronomical cost to families for college.”

ONLINE EDUCATION

As 21st century education evolves to include curriculum via computer, some families choose schooling away from school.

“One of the biggest areas where we saw people leaving is due to the online education program and the one they’ve chosen is not the one we offer. We offer a robust k-12 online, too,” Bowman said. “That’s had a big impact on our district.”

To compete in the online market, the district increased its liaison program.

“We’ve always had a liaison for the elementary school,” Bowman said. “But we bolstered the liaison for middle and high school so that we have a place where people can actually come and get help from a human being here.”

DRUGS “When kids make bad decisions and

come to school under the infl uence or come to school with drugs on their person, they get expelled,” Bowman said. “We have zero tolerance.”

When students do make bad choices, the district offers helps through educational programs such as Rachel’s Challenge, North Teller Build a Generation and Why Try?

“I will say, for any parent and any child in that situation, it is a problem,” he said. “It’s something we need to work together on; it’s not a school problem, it’s a community issue that always gets put on the school.”

Want to know why Paula and Neil Levy kept their three sons in Woodland Park schools when dozens of others abandoned the district for schools in the Colorado Springs region?

Just attend one of the annual awards ceremonies, she said. You’ll get your answer.

“Honestly, all someone has to do is sit in the auditorium during the awards ceremony at the end of the year,” Paula Levy said. “That’s all you have to do.”

During the annual ceremony, hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships and awards are handed to graduating seniors.

“Most of those students have gone all the way through the Woodland Park schools,” she said. “School is what you make of it.”

Levy is proud their sons, Max, Sam and Lou, have been educated solely within the district. Max graduated two years ago and is a junior at the University of Colorado Boulder.

“Woodland Park schools, every single one of them, have so much to offer to different kinds of students,” she said.

In a district that sometimes gets a bad rap, the evidence of academic excellence is apparent, Levy said.

“You don’t have to look far for the great teachers,”

she said.As an example, Levy

cited Laren Lehmann, who is beginning her 17th year teaching visual arts in the district’s Gateway Elementary School.

“My kids still talk about Lauren Lehmann,” Levy said.

For her part, Lehmann waxed poetic about what she does and why she has stayed so long at Gateway.

“There has to be a place in children’s lives where they can interact with the material world, make careful observations, think deeply and differently about ideas, pretend and imagine,” Lehmann wrote in an email. “There has to be a place where they can be artful, smartful and heartful!

“I stay at Gateway because the arts program is supported fi nancially and philosophically. I have the freedom to create a vibrant, standards-based curriculum.”

A parent, caught while registering her 16 year-old daughter for the upcoming year, stopped to chat.

“I believe the school offers a good education, especially in the arts and music,” she said.

But Lehmann summed up best the attraction of the local schools.

“I stay at Gateway because I want to continue to collaborate with my colleagues to prepare our students for a dynamic and creative future,” Lehmann said.

Several athletes have chosen to head down Ute Pass to attend high schoolDanny [email protected]

Open enrollment in Colorado means that kids have the choice to attend schools outside their boundaries, or even in other districts and cities.

While the practice is fairly common these days, far more kids – even many quality athletes or skilled musicians – choice out of Woodland Park and head down Ute Pass to attend other schools than come up U.S. Highway 24.

Last year, the state Department of Education reported nearly 200 Woodland Park students opted to choice out of the district, the bulk, about 100, ended up in Manitou Springs.

Here are a few of the athletes and musicians who, in recent years, made the daily trek down the pass. Some of their special circumstances might surprise you:• Kelee Suggs, a Divide resident,

attended Manitou Springs High School. But because Manitou Springs did not fi eld a softball team, Suggs played for Woodland Park. She was named MVP of the 2013 squad that advanced to the postseason. She graduated from Manitou Springs in 2014.

• Natalie Diviney, another player from that 2013 Woodland Park softball team, lived in Woodland Park, but she

attended Cheyenne Mountain High School. However, Diviney transferred to Woodland Park prior to her senior year and played for the Woodland Park softball team. At semester, Diviney transferred back to Cheyenne Mountain, where she graduated from that school in the spring of 2014.

• Tyler Wilson, a 2012 Air Academy graduate, lived in Divide. He attended CSCS in Colorado Springs before transferring to Air Academy for academic and music reasons. He helped Air Academy win three state marching band championships.

• Austin Lopez, a 2015 Palmer graduate, lived in Woodland Park. He played football for Palmer for four years. He is now playing for the University of Wyoming, where he is listed as a linebacker.

• Lucas Rodholm, a Woodland Park resident, is a junior at Manitou Springs. He led the Mustangs in scoring with 15.4 points per game last season, helping Manitou Springs to a 16-8 record and berth in the state Class 3A state tournament.

Rodholm’s older brother, Marcus, also attended Manitou Springs and played basketball for the school.

“With open enrollment you see kids going all over the place these days,” said Brian Gustafson, Woodland Park’s golf coach and the district’s director of business services. “You see it a lot more in Colorado Springs than up here. There’s not a lot of kids who live down in Colorado Springs that choose to go to school up in Woodland Park.” //See “Open Enrollment” on page 8

Open enrollment//continued from page 7

One Teller County family has sent all four of their children to Manitou Springs dating back nearly a decade. The family’s older boys played baseball for the high school, one earning a college scholarship. The family’s youngest son is a current member of the baseball team.

The family said they chose to send their children to Manitou Springs because – at the time – the school had about half the student population of Woodland Park. But with the decline in enrollment at Woodland Park over the last decade, and with a slight rise in enrollment at Manitou Springs, the family might reconsider their decision today.

The most recent enrollment statistics

provided by the Colorado High School Activities Association show Woodland Park around 800 students and Manitou Springs at about 550.

The family also told the Courier that another factor in sending their children – especially the boys – to Manitou Springs was because they felt their sons might have a better opportunity at a college scholarship because the school was closer to Colorado Springs.

“There’s nothing you can do about things like that,” said former Woodland Park baseball coach Cliff Richardson. “You hope that kids who live around here stay here and go to your school, but they have the right to go anywhere they want.”

Offers unique programs to retain, attract students


To combat plummeting enrollment, Cripple Creek-Victor RE-1 School District is using a variety of programs designed to keep students in school, bring back students who drop out and even attract new students.

In line with its mission “Building Excellence One Student at a Time,” the district’s ongoing programs are designed to attract families. These include free healthcare for students and their siblings from pre-birth to age 21, an Early Head Start/Head Start that serves about 50 families per year, free breakfasts for all elementary students, online classes and no activity and athletic fees.

The district also offers Project Respect, a program developed in conjunction with the Aspen Mine Center for all grade-levels that works with families and the community to help students succeed both academically and socially.

District Superintendent Les Lindauer said he isn’t sure why the school has seen a drop in enrollment in recent years, but he thinks is has something to do with changing demographics.

“There’s more (factors) than what we can easily pinpoint,” he said. “It’s too early to tell but I hope enrollment will level off this year. We won’t really know until the (statewide) October count.”

Another thing he hopes has leveled out is the homeschooling trend.

“We lost some kids to homeschooling, but I don’t think as many families are doing that now,” Lindauer said.

He is pinning his hopes for an enrollment turnaround on a few new programs.

Starting with its fall semester, which began Aug. 17, the district is offering advanced placement English, science, math and social studies.

There is also be a design manufacturing class which uses technology to design projects and then build them. Family studies/consumer science classes are also making a comeback.

“We used to call these

County school districts work to increase enrollmentclasses home economics, but they are more than that,” Lindauer said. “We’ll be doing things in the medical fields and offering work-force development classes.”

The district’s alternative education program also is up, running and fully staffed in partnership with Community of Caring.

“We want to bring back kids who have dropped out,” Lindauer said. “We’re trying to make our schools as attractive to families as we can. We’ve had summer programs and summer camps. We still have no fees and our football season starts in two weeks.”

Because of all the new programs starting this fall, the district fell behind getting its class schedule online. But Lindauer is confident the district is on the right track.

“We have new and exciting things on tap,” he said. “We’re generating a lot of interest.”

LAKE GEORGELake George Charter

School is part of Park County RE-2 School District. The school and the Lake George Library used to be in the same building but because of a Building Excellent Schools Today grant, the district built a new, state-of-the-art, energy-efficient school building in 2012.

The grant pays for new, safer and more efficient schools but do not pay for making the schools bigger so the Lake George Charter School is still designed for a limited number of students.

“We average about 130 students a year,” said school administrator Zach Gibson.

A small student body also means a small teaching staff and small class sizes. Gibson said teacher salaries are on par with other area schools and its Colorado test scores are higher than many of the surrounding schools.

The school offers preschool through sixth grade, with online curriculum for third through eighth-grade, no tuition, a four-day week; Monday-Thursday; smaller

class size, Free breakfast for all students, home-cooked cafeteria meals, physical education, art and music and a winter skiing and snowboarding program on Fridays.

New this year are computer classes for fifth and sixth-graders.

Because of its location at the boundary between Teller and Park counties, the school draws students from both counties. Conversely, when students leave sixth-grade, they go back to the other districts. About the same number of students, 33 percent, go on to Cripple Creek-Victor Junior/Senior High and Woodland Park and Park County middle schools and high schools.

CSCSColorado Springs Christian

Schools of Woodland Park is another small school. As a private school it does not receive state funding like other local schools. Private schools do compete with public schools, but they are also one of the most expensive ways to educate students.

Private-school families pay higher tuition rates that can’t be deducted from taxes or earn a tax credit. Also they pay property taxes that are, in part, used to fund public schools.

For many families, it’s worth the cost to give their children a faith-based education that they won’t get in public schools. With only 65 students in kindergarten through fifth-grade, the Woodland Park campus also offers small class sizes and a challenging academic curriculum.

Woodland Park Campus Principal Mike Aragon said about 99 percent of its graduating fifth-graders go on to the CSCS middle school in Colorado Springs. A shuttle picks up and drops off middle and high school students at the Woodland Park Campus and at two other sites in Colorado Springs.

He earned his medical degree from the Temple University School of Medicine in Philadelphia and completed his residency at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center where he also met his wife, a psychiatrist. He started practicing in 2001 and they practiced for seven years in Honolulu before coming to Colorado.

“We used to vacation in Colorado and we fell in love with the Colorado Springs area,” he said. “We came to Memorial Hospital because we liked what we saw.”

He knew he wanted to be a surgeon before entering medical school but credits his professors with making neurosurgery look exciting.

“My personality also fi ts well with neurosurgery,” he said. “I’ve always liked looking at the details, and the brain has a lot of details.”

It took 15 years of higher education to become a neurosurgeon; four years in college, four years in medical school and seven years perfecting his specialty; so it was quite a time commitment.

As a neurosurgeon, Thompson performs surgeries commonly connected with the

title, such as removing brain tumors.But his fi eld emcompasses much more,

especially complex spine surgery. “Our bread and butter is herniated

disc repair in the neck and back,” he said, adding that there are ways to prevent spine injuries.

“There are three ways to prevent coming to doctors like me,” he said. “Maintain a good weight, exercise regularly and don’t smoke. Too much weight can start spinal degeneration and smoking accelerates that degeneration.”

He added that the average person with back pain will not need surgery and that surgery is sometimes indicated when there is radiating pain down arms or legs or there is numbness or tingling in extremities.

Thompson is committed to staying in Colorado for the long term. He wants to help build his team’s practice and make the Pikes Peak region medically independent from Denver.

“People should be able to get what they need right here,” he said.

The chamber withdrew its sponsorship in 1998 and the Above the Clouds Cruisers Club was formed to take over the event. While the show averages around 225 entries, in some years there have been more than 300 entries and in 2013, when rain on the Waldo Canyon Fire burn scar regularly closed U.S. 24, there were only 180 entries.

Cruise Above the Clouds event schedule:

Sept. 129 a.m.-3 p.m. in Woodland

Sanctioned race scheduled


It’s no mystery that motorists speed through Woodland Park and Teller County.

Some are headed to the casinos of Cripple Creek. Others are bound for the high country to ski, hike, fish or camp. Yet others are on cross-country adventures.

Whatever their destination, it seems far too many confused U.S. Highway 24 with an interstate freeway where their speedometers can spin wildly.

Spend any time on the roads and you’ll see them . . . the impatient drivers who tailgate, cut in and out of traffic to gain a few extra seconds, dangerously pass others, even blow through red lights.

So here are a few factoids you should know before hitting the road.

Speed reduction in Woodland Park?City Manager David Buttery is “furious”

when it comes to people running red lights in Woodland Park.

It’s something he sees every day while driving through town. Buttery knows how dangerous it is and it so offends him that he’s even been known to follow a scofflaw and confront them about their traffic sin.

He believes one solution is lowering the

speed limit on U.S. 24 through town. But those limits are the responsibility of the Colorado Department of Transportation.

He requested CDOT reduce the speed limit from 30 mph to 25 mph in the central part of the city. But CDOT denied his request.

Buttery still hopes to see the speed limit reduced one day.

Drag racing on Highway 24Jon DeVaux is the owner of Alpine

Firearms in Woodland Park, and he often sees cars drag racing past his shop.

Noticing this reckless behavior, he bought a radar gun. Based on his own observation, DeVaux said the average motorist travels 10 mph over the limit.

If the city is making an effort to stop speeding, DeVaux said, he hasn’t seen it. As far as he’s concerned, this is a problem

of manpower. There simply aren’t enough patrol cars to catch speeders in downtown Woodland Park, he said.

With two major highways cutting through the town, it’s challenging to get

traffic running smoothly and safely at peak volumes. What’s the big deal, you might be asking.

Miles DeYoung, chief of the Woodland Park Police Department, explained the risks of racing through any community, but especially in a place like downtown Woodland Park with a lot of tourists who might not know their surrounding or where they want to go and make sudden stops and turns.

“People tend to speed through Woodland Park, which increases the distance they need to stop when someone pulls out in front of them or they need to react to a hazard on the roadway,” DeYoung said.

The risks are multiplied when NASCAR wannabes travel in packs through town.

“This is where you end up with multiple vehicle accidents because there’s no reactionary gap between the motorists and the vehicle they’re following,” he said.

The Walmart intersection has a high crash probability, said Woodland Park

Patrol Sgt. Ryan Holzwarth. Red light enforcement has been enhanced in this area, but speeding isn’t limited to Woodland Park.

Green Mountain Falls Chief of Police Timothy Bradley has clocked people traveling 30 miles over the speed limit on U.S. 24.

The problem is just about as bad through town. Bradley has seen motorists roar through Green Mountain Falls going double the 25 mph.

“If that is not unsafe,” he said, “I am not sure what is.”

After seeing a trend

of dangerous driving habits in Green Mountain Falls, Bradley started a traffic enforcement program just 30 days after he joined the town’s police department in 2011.

He says the agency attaches bright orange flags to speed limit signs on both ends of town to draw attention to the posted speeds.

“We target a reasonable speed over the speed limit before we consider citing drivers,” Bradley said, noting that his officers don’t issue speeding tickets if a driver is traveling less than 10 mph over the limit.

As of early July, Green Mountain Falls police have issued 225 speeding tickets and 278 warnings in 2015. And contrary to the myth of bad drivers from Texas, the offenders were largely homegrown.

“Most of the drivers we have cited are from Colorado,” Bradley said.

The speeding problem seems to be less severe in Cripple Creek. Only five speeding tickets have been issued since June 1.

Despite the overwhelming amount of tourists this area sees during the summer, only one of those tickets was issued to someone from out of state, said Jesse Avery, dispatcher for the Cripple Creek Police

Since 2012, Woodland Park Deputy Chief of Police Miles De Young said drivers stopped for speeding have been given warnings about 50 percent of the time.

Recently, the nation’s first Tiny House Jamboree was held in El Paso County. I’m told over 40,000 people attended. There is obvious interest among the public in joining the “Tiny House Nation.”

We’re talking homes with less than 400 square feet that sell for $60,000 or less.

But before you try and squeeze yourself into a tiny house, there are a few big facts you ought to know.

Factory-built tiny houses, or “park models” as they have been known for years, are built to meet the ANSI-RIVIA standards. Think recreational vehicle.

They are built on a trailer and can be moved. However, unlike RV’s, they are not designed to provide water and wastewater storage.

More important, the factory-built units do not meet the minimum standards in the International Residential Building Code, or the Teller County Building Code, for a full-time residence.

Therefore, Teller County will not be issuing building permits for these units.

We are checking with some of the other counties in the state to see how they are addressing tiny houses and park models.

In fact, I have some advice for

the manufacturers of tiny houses. They should consider changing their designs so they meet the requirements of the standard building codes. At this time, the factory built units can only be considered RV’s.

While doing limited research, I noticed the leaders of the tiny house “movement” actively promote building your own.

If you are looking to live in a smaller, more energy-efficient, affordable home, there is no reason that can’t

be accomplished by building a small home that would meet the minimum standards of the International Residential Code and the Teller County Building Code.

One more suggestion: you should check neighborhood covenants as well as zoning codes before you build. There may be minimum size requirements for homes in the area you want to live. Your tiny house may not be welcome.

On a related note, we will be putting out a revised Building Permit Application that we hope will make the process flow better for you.

It will be on our website soon. Until next month. You can send your questions to

[email protected] Terry Brunette is the building

official for the Teller County Building Department.

If you would like to discover a safe and effective medical treatment for knee arthritis pain and stiffness that has already helped thousands just like you, this will be the most important infor-mation you ever read.Here is why: Back in 2010, a medical clinic in Colorado Springs, CO named Osteo Relief Institute did something that would change the lives of thousands and thousands of people.They developed a knee

arthritis treatment program specifically designed for the knee

arthritis sufferers who not only want to relieve pain and stiffness... but also want to stay active. As patients got re-sults... the word spread like wildfire. Now the clinic receivesan over-whelming number of new patient inquiries per

month. It seems like eve-ry knee arthritis sufferer in the area wants this treatment. Some travel as many as 3 hours to be treated by the experts at Osteo Relief Institute.

But here’s where the story gets really good...

for YOU Because they knew how frustrating knee arthritis is and how life changing relieving their pain was... many patients wanted to share their story with others. That’s why they are willing to travel to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida and tell their stories for a special documentary being made about Os-teo Relief Institute and their knee pain treatment methods. Patients like William La S. flew to Florida and told how he couldn’t play golf due to arthri-tis pain - and now after

treatment, “It’s the best thing I ever did. It’s just - now I can play golf, I can walk, I can climb stairs, I can do things I did many years ago.” And then there is Shirley S. who could barely walk and was facing total knee replacement in both knees and after treatment said, “I just thank God for the treatment... It made me feel like a new woman.”

Are These Result Typical?

Let’s be very clear about this: this is not a “miracle cure” for arthritis. This is a real medi-cal treatment that has worked very well for thousands and thousands of people. But we are not sug- gesting that everyone (or

anyone) who gets this treatment is going to get the same results others have gotten. As with all medical treatments - the response is individual. And no one can say what your re-sponse to treatment willbe. But we can say with100% accuracy that countless people have lessened or even elimi-nated their pain - and gotten their active lives back after this treatment. And that is en- tirely possible for you, too. And that’s why people from all over the area are flocking to Osteo Re-lief Institute to give this

prom- ising treatment a try. That’s why they are offering a no-risk, no- obligation knee screen-ing designed specifically to see if this treatment might help you. But the biggest prob-lem is keeping up with the overwhelming de-mand. That’s why they have had to limit the number of screenings per month. The good news is, if you call 719-323-6612 within the next 2 days - you are guaran-teed a screening.

“ I wish I had known this 5 years ago...”

“I’ve had trouble with my knee walking. I’m a golfer and want to play golf but I couldn’t. I made the call and went down [to the Osteo Relief Institute] and it’s the best thing I ever did. It’s just – now I can play golf, I can walk, I can climb stairs, I can do things I did many years ago”. “It’s the smartest thing I ever did. Since I’ve been going to Osteo Relief for my knees I don’t take any pills, I take no over the counter medication...” “This is a good alterna-tive to surgery. I am so glad I went. I’m so confident I feel so good about it and I recom-mend it to everybody.” “Call up Osteo Relief. What have you got to lose. Have them check it out and they may help you.” “I wish I had known this five years ago.”

William La S.

“The treatment was won-derful”

“Five years ago I had knee surgery, had a replacement, and I was not happy with it. The therapy was painful and I’m still numb on one side and you can’t – you cannot kneel on your knee once you have that done.” “I was not sleeping at night, my leg was pounding, I knew it was getting near the point where it was a knee re-placement or find something new.” “The first treatment I felt great and each treatment for the five weeks that followed it became better and better. I mean I was going out danc-ing. I have grand kids, I play with them, I run with them. I volunteer and... do playtime with little children and you know it’s picking up toys and I volunteer at a nursing home. So I’m walking around, I take animals to the nursing home, so I’m walking the different floors and I have no problem – no problem whatsoever.”

Karen R.

How To Guarantee You Get A No-Risk, No-Obligation Knee Screening

The popularity of this treatment is amazing. Osteo Relief Institute receives an overwhelming num-ber of new patient inquires every month. But because this is real medical treatment- it is not for every-one. That’s why the experts have set-up a quick and easy No-Risk screening visit. This screening will help determine if you are a candidate for further examination and treatment. This screening is offered without any obligation what-so-ever, and you will get all of your questions

answered and find outif this treatment is for you with zero risk. Just call 719-323-6612. “l’d like a No-Obligation knee screening.” They will take care of every-thing. Due to over-whelming demand, spots are limited - but if you call in the next 2 days, Osteo Relief guarantees you will get your screening. This treatment is covered by most insurance and Medi-care. If you have knee arthritis pain -call now to see if you can get help.

How It Works: Advanced medical technology has now made it possible to safely relieve knee arthritis pain for many.When you have knee arthritis, the natural lubricating fluids in your knee “dry up.” This causes abnormal friction. Bones rub against each other, leading to stiffness, pain and eventually total joint destruction. This treatment works so well because a special lubricating gel is put directly into the arthritis joint...Instantly allowing the joint to glide more smoothly. Imagine putting oil on a rusty door hinge. Osteo Relief uses state-of-the-art digital imaging to see inside the knee joint to make sure the FDA-Approved lubricating gel medicine is placed precisely where you need it to get the best possible results.

“ I just thank God for this treatment”

“I really, couldn’t hardly walk. They wanted to replace both my knees, and I did not want both my knees replaced.” “Since I had the treatment I had been able to walk, I was able to walk up the steps. I was able to bend my knee and I’m able to shop in the supermarket with the car-riage, which I was never able to do all the time - now I’m able to walk down the street and able to walk in the park. I’m able to even lift things and go up the steps which is a miracle. I just thank God for the treatment.” “It made me feel like a new woman. It was amazing.” ”I can’t thank that doctor and staff enough for what they had done for me. I would tell anyone who has gone through what I have to take the step.” ”I wish I’d known about this option years ago.”

Participation is up nationally; Colorado ranks 20thDanny [email protected]

As a sports reporter and parent, I think this is great news: the number of kids playing high school sports keeps growing and breaking records.

For the 26th consecutive year, participation was up in 2014-15, according to a report by the National Federation of State High School Associations, or NFHS.

We’re talking 7.8 million kids involved in sports. It’s a U.S. record.

Colorado ranks 20th nationally with 128,600 participants.

Interestingly, participation by boys dipped slightly to 4.5 million while the number of girls keeps climbing, reaching a record 3.2 million.

It’s no surprise 11-man football remains the runaway leader in boys sports with 1.1 million players, followed by outdoor track and fi eld (578,632), basketball (541,479), baseball (486,567) and soccer (432,569). The remainder of the top 10 is wrestling (258,208), cross country (250,981), tennis (157,240), golf (148,823) and swimming/diving

(137,087).Girls favor outdoor track and fi eld,

volleyball and basketball, followed by soccer (375,681), softball (364,103), cross country (221,616), tennis (182,876), swimming/diving (166,838), competitive spirit squads (125,763) and lacrosse (84,785).

We’ve heard for years now that football participation is down among our nation’s youth. The common thought – and it’s probably true – is that parents and kids are concerned with the risk factor of the game. Coupled by the fact that soccer is becoming an increasingly more popular game among youth and it is easy to see why football participation is on a downward trend.

Among the top 10 boys sports, soccer registered the largest gain with an additional 15,150 participants. The largest drops were in wrestling (11,306) and, you guessed it, 11-man football (9,617).

Besides soccer, other top 10 boys sports that had increases in the number of participants were baseball (3,938) and basketball (425).

While boys are leaving wrestling, girls are discovering it as their participation increased by 1,592 for a total of 11,496.

“While football participation dropped this past year, the decrease

is not that signifi cant when you consider more than 1.1 million boys and girls are involved in the sport at the high school level,” said Bob Gardner, NFHS executive director.

And Gardner seemed to dispute the trend of kids abandoning their

high school teams in favor of playing for high-level club team.

“Despite other out-of-school opportunities that exist in some sports,” he said, “this year’s survey is yet another confi rmation that our model of education-based sports within the high school setting is the No. 1 choice for boys and girls nationwide.”

Among non-traditional sports, archery and rifl ery registered signifi cant jumps in participation. An additional 2,877 participants (boys and girls) in archery brings the overall total to 7,744 with schools in eight states sponsoring the sport. Rifl ery was up 1,010 participants for a total of 4,238

with competition in 10 states.In many instances, economic

conditions and the size of a school’s student body dictates how many sports are offered. Cripple Creek-Victor was forced to drop its wrestling program a few years ago because of the lack of participation. And declining enrollment forced the school’s football team to drop from 11-man to 8-man in 2012.

Woodland Park has also seen a sharp drop in enrollment at the high school level, which has impacted most of the school’s athletic teams. The only team sport to qualify for the postseason during the 2014-15 school year was softball and girls cross country.

In fact, softball is the only team sport to reach the postseason the last two years. The softball team has made the playoffs each year since 2011.

“There was a time when softball was not even mentioned up in the Woodland Park area,” said Woodland Park coach Dale Huntington.

There is no reason to believe Huntington’s crew will not make another playoff push this season with the return of several key players.

Whether or not the school’s football, volleyball, cross country, boys’ soccer and boys’ golf teams follow suit this fall remains to be seen.

High school sports participation up again

Woodland Park hoping to improve upon last year’s 2-8 markDanny [email protected]

There is no off-season and very little rest for the weary if you are involved with the Woodland Park High School football program.

The Panthers spent the summer lifting weights and conditioning several days each week, attending a football camp at Colorado State University, and a passing league in Colorado Springs.

They also helped organize a golf fundraiser at Shining Mountain Golf Club. And they put in countless hours moving hay bales and fi rewood, removing tree trunks, clearing brush, anytime of yard work, cutting down trees, painting houses and even helping people move.

All those activities were intended to draw the team closer together in preparation for what players and coaches are hoping is the most successful season for the school in more than a decade.

“This summer we really tried to focus on the team as a unit and as a family,” said Woodland Park senior quarterback Cecil Cox. “We learned to

depend on one another and work as a unit.

“As a result of all the things we did in the off-season we’re happy to see our buddies succeed. We know that our buddies have our back. We’re able to trust each other and the rollover effect has been amazing.”

The optimism among players and coaches has never been higher in recent years. Joe Roskam is beginning his fi fth season at the helm of the program. He inherited a team that had lost 19 of 23 games over two-plus seasons and quickly transformed the Panthers into a .500 team his fi rst year (5-5 in 2011). But the program has yet to improve upon that mark, posting consecutive records of 3-7, 5-5 and 2-8.

“I’m really thinking we should be a lot better,” said Roskam, who coached Cripple Creek-Victor once upon a day. “We have a great offense and a great group of returning guys.”

Roskam is moving back to defensive coordinator this season. Brett Nelson takes over as the offensive coordinator.

This year’s squad is stacked with seniors and a plethora of experience. Cox (some call him Matt) is a four-year starter and is ready to take the leap to the next level.

Last season, Cox completed 85 of 173 passes for 899 yards and fi ve touchdowns. He also led the team in rushing with 628 yards

on 116 attempts (5.4 yards per carry) and six touchdowns.

“Cecil had worked really hard so that he can have a better year,” Joe Roskam said. “I’m proud of him.”

Sophomore Dominic Roskam, the coach’s son, rushed for 532 yards and eight touchdowns on 98 carries (5.4 yards per attempt) and established himself as a legitimate threat in his fi rst high school season.

The top receivers are expected to be seniors Sam Garner (26 receptions for 251 yards) and Joey Ereon (11 for

120).Leading the way

on the offensive line is senior Devin Carter and junior Orion Drummond.

Senior defensive back Zak Hess will help anchor the secondary, which was extremely vulnerable last season.

The Panthers will unveil new uniforms this fall. They will have the same familiar green and white color scheme. The team used money raised from the golf fundraiser and “Labor Sales” to pay for the uniforms, new footballs, helmets and other equipment.

The total cost was about $14,000.

“We earned these uniforms and that means a lot more knowing that we earned them,” said junior lineman Orion Drummond.

Woodland Park opens its season at home Sept. 4 against Rampart. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. Rampart defeated Woodland Park in last year’s season opener 40-7.

Rampart is a 4A team and made the playoffs in 2014, losing in the fi rst round to Fort Collins.

Woodland Park

fi nished third in the 3A Southern Conference in 2014. The league boasts Discovery Canyon and Canon City, both picked in the top 10 in the CHSAANow.com preseason poll.

“I’m not going to make any predictions, but I just want to encourage our fans to come out and cheer us on,” Carter said. “I think they may be surprised.”

Drummond added: “To be the best you have to beat the best. I’m glad we play in one of the best conferences in the state.”

Strong off season has made Panthers a more cohesive group

BACK TO SCHOOLIt's the SeasonAugust 19, 2015

Panthers opened regular season play Aug. 25 against Valor ChristianDanny [email protected]

In her years playing softball for Woodland Park High School, Chrissy Cunningham has been a starting center fi elder, shortstop and now pitcher.

The senior is taking over the starting chores on the mound this fall and hopes to help the Panthers to another postseason berth.

Cunningham is the team’s third ace pitcher in three seasons, following Mallorie Trichell and Lexie Comer, who is now playing for Colorado Mesa.

“I defi nitely picked up my attitude on the mound from Lexie and how she carried herself,” Cunningham said with confi dence.

Cunningham appeared in just four games last season totaling 4.1 innings. She was lethal at the plate, where she sported a .446 batting average with four extra base hits and 13 RBIs.

When Cunningham is not pitching she will likely play a middle infi eld position. Other pitchers expected to see time on the mound are juniors Jayllan Krause and Kelly Marolf. Krause plays a strong second base and Marolf covers plenty of ground in the outfi eld.

Senior Savanna Simpson will be the team’s starting catcher. She was

injured part of last season and split the catching duties with Gabbi Talbot, who returns for her senior season. Simpson batted .596 (28 for 47) with eight extra base hits and 14 RBIs. Talbot, the team’s starting shortstop this season, batted .333 with six extra base hits and 17 RBIs in 2014.

“We don’t really have a big team this year, but we’re solid all the way around,” Talbot said. “A big part of that is just supporting each other.”

The Panthers have been working together on a consistent basis since March. They are poised to make a run at a third consecutive Class 4A Metro League championship. Their team motto this year: “Today we will do what others won’t, so tomorrow we will do what others can’t.” It will be displayed on the back of their warm up jerseys.

“This is what we focus on every single day,” said senior fi rst baseman Hayley Corbiere. “This is why we started with conditioning in March; to stay in shape and to keep that banner.”

Coach Dale Huntington returns for his fi fth season at helm. He has directed the Panthers to four consecutive postseason appearances. Woodland Park is 62-23 under Huntington, including a school-record 18-4 mark in 2014.

Woodland Park has not lost a league game since 2012, winning 20 consecutive contests over the past two seasons.

“Our coaches always say ‘Nobody works harder than you,’” Talbot said. “That’s what we try to live up to every

day.”The Panthers sported a gaudy .429

team batting average last season. Corbiere believes the Panthers may be stronger defensively than in year’s past.

“I feel we’re more of a defensive team,” Corbiere said. “(Coach Huntington) wants the other teams to hit the ball so our defense can make plays. We feel like we can make the plays.”

Senior Bre Trucelli is expected to be the Panthers’ starting center fi elder.

Top sophomores include Celeste

Will the “Great Eight” be good

enough to lead the Woodland Park High School volleyball team to its fi rst postseason appearance in fi ve seasons?

That question, of course, will be answered in the coming months as the Panthers and their eight seniors take the court for their last season as a unit.

“This team has been together since seventh grade, so our realistic goal is winning regionals,” said setter Jenny Lau. “We have a lot of heart in this team.”

This group might just have the right stuff to make a serious run at the school’s fi rst volleyball league

championship since 1992, when the Panthers fi nished as the Class 4A runner-up.

Panthers volleyball team ready to spike, dig, block and volleychampionship since 1992, when the Panthers finished as the Class 4A runner-up.



The Woodland Park volleyball team enjoyed its best season in many years in 2014 by posting a15-8 record. The Pan-thers return eight seniors this season. Pictured here, (back row left to right): Michelle Cruse, Sierra Wilson, Heather McDonald, Alex Ryan and Kylie Mitchell; (front row left to right: Laura Morand, Jenny Lau and Caitlan Thorne. //Photo by Danny Summers

//continued from page 14

They finished tied for fourth place, narrowly missing the playoffs.

“We have to have a lot of teamwork and a lot of sticking together,” said outside hitter Michelle Cruse. “We all know each other really well and we all know how each other plays. If we play together, really hard, we can make it to state.”

Rounding out the eight seniors are middle blocker Alex Ryan (at 5-foot-10 she is the tallest player in the team), right side hitter

Sierra Wilson (played only four sets in 2014 due to a torn ACL), outside hitters Heather McDonald and Kayla Woods, utility Kylie Mitchell, and defensive specialists Caitlan Thorne and Laura Morand.

“We’ve always been known as a scrappy team” Wilson said. “We’ve had success and we’re going to keep playing that way.”

Woodland Park has produced some great individual players in recent years; names like Hannah Sauer, Carly Vahsholtz, Linnea Sauer,

Paloma Juarros, Elin Saxon and Maureen Cummings quickly come to mind. They each one of them stood out, for one reason or another the team didn’t live up to expectations or underperformed at critical times.

“This is a true team,”

said Stacy Roshek, in her 10th season as Panthers’ head coach. “There’s not a go-to girl – yet. But they are a strong, cohesive team. They excel on defense and they’re very scrappy.

“We play in a tough league; a very competitive league.

We should make the playoffs if we play up to the level we’re capable of playing.”

The top 36 teams (based on a points system) qualify for the postseason. There are 12 three-team regionals, with the winner of each regional advancing to

the state tournament.Woodland Park

opens its season Sept. 1 at Buena Vista. The Panthers hosted a five-team scrimmage on Aug. 22 that included Air Academy, Coronado, Mitchell and Elizabeth.
