Peak Vista abruptly closes popular CC-V

Health Center Health care jeopardized for

students, families, community

By Suzanne CoreContributing writer

The families of the Cripple Creek-Victor School District, as well as the broader Southern Teller County community, received a shock with the abrupt Dec. 8 closure of the Cripple Creek-Victor Moun-tain Health Center.

In a letter, Peak Vista Community Health Centers president Pamela McManus said Peak Vista was closing the center because of dif-fi culty fi nding and retaining an on-site physician, nurse practitioner or physician assistant.

“Due to a national shortage of providers who are interested in serving only pediatric patients in rural areas, Peak Vista is no longer able to provide services,” McManus said in the letter.

Skye Ciccarelli is described as bilingual, a product of being born in Japan to an American father and Japanese mother.

But after just three basketball games for Woodland Park High School, it’s clear Ciccarelli is fl uent in another language: hoops.

Ciccarelli, a 5-foot-10 freshman point guard from Okinawa, has burst onto the Teller County basketball scene. After just three games, Cicca-relli is averaging 24 points per contest.

More than a year after voters

approved building a $10.1 million Aquatic Center, and following nearly four months of heated public debate over its location, the Woodland Park City Council will hold a public hearing on where to build the controversial facility.

At 7 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 17, the Woodland Park City Council is scheduled to publicly consider a land contract to build the Aquatic Center on high school property.

The proposed agreement, unveiled at a Dec. 3 meeting, would grant the city free ownership of a 1.74-acre par-cel near the high school in exchange for guaranteed use of the Aquatic Center for 50 years by Woodland Park High School students and future swim teams.

Darrel Jones, 83, passed away Dec. 4th after a battle with cancer. He was born April 11, 1932 in Vernon, CO to Frank and Leora Jones and moved to the Pikes Peak re-gion in 1942.

He graduated from Monument High School in 1950 and joined the Navy Seabees at the start of the Ko-rean War. He worked in accounting for many years and later owned an auto detailing business.

After retiring in 1994 he spent most of his time in his wood shop near Woodland Park, where he has lived since 1963. He was a very talented craftsman and made so many beautiful things. He also loved photography and horseback riding. He recently convert-

ed his wood shop into a pool room and enjoyed beating all of us in a good game of pool. He also enjoyed visiting family and friends in Ohio, New Hampshire and Georgia.

He is predeceased by his parents and older brother Harold Jones. Sur-vived by his sister Virginia Dechenne, daughter Pam (Brian) Leiendecker, sons Bruce (Mary) Jones, Brian (Debi) Jones along with their children Bayli and Conor Jones, and three other grandsons, Justin and Andy Jones and Brad Walter. He also has two great grandsons. He leaves behind many other relatives and wonderful friends. We will all miss him GREATLY!

A celebration of life will be held at a later time. The family would like to express our sincere gratitude to Gen-tiva Hospice and Brookdale Senior Liv-ing for the wonderful care and compas-sion they provided to all.

OBITUARY

Mountain Health Center (MHC) opened its own building on-site. Just two months ago, the Peak Vista board voted to extend services to include staff and families and possibly the larger community.

“It is true, we have been pursuing expanding services to families and the wider community,” McManus said, “but had made no announcement of that and then our provider resigned.”

Peak Vista, as the partnering medical clinic agency, was responsible for providing an on-site physician.

The closure upset RE-1 school superintendent Leslie Lindauer, who had a harsh analysis of what transpired.

“This past year, Peak Vista fell fl at on their face,” Lindauer said. “We went fi ve months without a provider. Then it was off again, on again. It completely eliminated the momentum of getting students in there. Then, when the most recent hire resigned, they pulled out.”

Its closure was devastating to many. Health center program director Laureen Murray, who is a registered nurse and holds a

bachelor’s of science in nursing, was crushed.“My heart is broken,” said Murray. “This is a huge miss for

our kids. There has been so much progress, especially in behav-ioral health. Every Cresson classroom was served, along with one-on-one sessions. My heart aches for our kids.”

Others echoed Murray’s sentiments. “This is such a huge negative impact on our kids and their

families,” said Wanda Eppes, school psychologist and part of the center’s behavioral health team.

“The transportation barriers to health care were removed by this center,” Eppes said. “But Colorado law requires a doctor, nurse practitioner or physician assistant on-site. So the day after the practitioner resigned, Peak Vista announced immedi-ate closure. My funding is gone.”

As a registered nurse, Murray cannot prescribe or see patients. A school-based health center must have an on-site doctor, nurse practitioner or physician’s assistant. Lindauer said the most recent practitioner had offered to stay, on a per diem basis, but Peak Vista refused.

“It’s shameful” said Lisa Noble of Teller County Build a Generation. “The economic impact on families here is going to be most devastating.”

City Administrator Ray DuBois found it “bewildering.” “The city was asked if we would support expansion of MHC

and we would,” DuBois said. “The city had no other involve-ment. My understanding is that the school board wanted a cooperative agreement between Centura and Peak Vista before expanding the MHC services to adults. That agreement was to the effect that Centura and Peak Vista would provide different but overlapping services, with a family practice model at MHC.”

The anger and disbelief was compounded by the lack of warning: For the past year and a half, according to Murray, Lindauer and others, the school district and Peak Vista had been working toward expanding the health center.

“From expansion to closure in two months,” said Murray, somewhat in disbelief.

“I’m extremely disappointed in the whole process with Peak Vista,” Lindauer said. “I think they changed their minds. It isn’t the fi rst time they have pulled out of Southern Teller County.”

Patty Waddle, who runs the Head Start, Early Head Start, and Early Head Start Child Care Partnership programs, was focused on what happens now.

“I want families to know that, while this impacts our programs, it does not endanger them,” Waddle stressed. “Our grants are not dependent on on-site health care but merely on access to health care. So we will have to go back to how we pro-vided access before 2009, in terms of transportation especially.

“But we depended on the MHC for well checks, immuniza-tions, chronic and acute family services, ear infections, medi-cine management for fragile kids. We are going to miss MHC!”

Waddle said the main issue now is cost of transportation.“We do have to help families access needed care,” she said.

“We have to go back to what we did before we had the MHC. “Other providers in the community are really stepping up to

the plate and working really hard on this.”All parties acknowledged the diffi culty fi nding and retaining

physicians in rural areas.In Peak Vista’s defense, McManus cited statistics that show

it takes 10 to 18 months to hire for rural areas. But that doesn’t absolve Peak Vista for its handling of the health center, most agreed.

Still, McManus tried to offer hope the center might return.“If there is an opening in future, we want to be available,”

she said. “Meanwhile, the Ronald McDonald Mobile Care will continue and we are looking for local partners for transporta-tion, and proactively reaching out to the community.

“We want to be part of supporting the community any way we can. The school district has been wonderful to work with.”

Others have given up on Peak Vista and are moving on in hopes of resurrecting health care in the area.

“I want people to know that some partner services will still be available,” Murray said. “Aspen Pointe and Doug Randolph will still offer some services and I believe I will still be there some time each week.”

Her optimism was echoed by Lindauer, despite his obvious disgust with Peak Vista.

“The (health center) has been in jeopardy for a year and a half because Peak Vista failed to provide staff,” Lindauer said. “I’m disappointed in Peak Vista, but I’m optimistic we’ll fi nd another partner and a new grant. We have an opportunity to get a good provider in to rebuild, enhance and expand the MHC.”

Even in winter, summer concert series not far from thoughts

Already we’ve been hit with significant snowfall and, officially, it won’t even be winter for another week.

But that doesn’t stop Ralph Rothstein from dreaming about sitting in the grass outside the Ute Pass Cultural Center on warm summer evenings and enjoying free con-certs at the Midland Pavilion.

Maybe you are one of the many folks who attend the free concerts sponsored by the Woodland Music Series each summer.

Then you know just how much the nonprofit Music Series adds to the community. And perhaps you’ll consider making an end-of-year donation to help keep the music alive.

I met Ralph last week when he dropped by the world headquarters of The Courier to introduce himself. I’m glad he did. Though I’d seen listings for the concerts in our cal-

endars, I didn’t know much about the music series.

He told me the Wood-land Music Series will celebrate its 12th annual season in 2016 and bring another great mix of music to town.

There will be classical in June, bluegrass in July, jazz and blues in August. The prestigious Colorado College Festival Orchestra will make its annual ap-pearance with an outreach concert, among the other highlights.

Though the concerts are free, the bands gener-ally don’t play out of the goodness of their hearts. It costs money to bring them up the pass to our moun-tain village.

How much does it cost to stage eight or so con-certs featuring 10-15 bands each summer, I wondered? As much as $15,000 to $20,000,

Ralph informed me, to my surprise.

And the Woodland Mu-sic Series has aspirations beyond just putting acts on stage. In fact, there’s the issue of the stage itself.

“We’re are trying to ear-mark some money to make improvements to the pavil-ion,” Ralph said. “We’d like to add permanent lighting. And heating.

“And we’d like to im-prove the shutters in back that we use to enclose three sides of the pavilion in bad weather.”

It’s hard to get your groove on if you are freez-ing your bassoon off.

To pay for all its ex-

penses, the group recruits corporate sponsors and hosts a golf tournament each June. It’s a major fundraising event, generating $5,000-$10,000. But it’s not enough.

Ralph would love to add more sponsors. You can help.Go to its website, WoodlandMusicSeries.org, and be-

come a sponsor. Individual sponsorships are $25 and fam-ily sponsorships run $45. Heck, that’s like buying a couple craft beers and burritos!

When you do, I predict the good feeling you get will warm you, even as the temperatures drop.

And think how much better the concerts will sound next summer knowing you helped keep the music playing!

Ralph L. Carr cut his teeth in the news game in the rough and tumble streets of turn-of-the-century Cripple Creek. At the same time, he matched wits with friendly competition and rivalry of the caliber of Lowell Thomas.

You would think that the publishing business would have been his legacy.

Carr became more famous for his politics.But it didn’t affect his friendship with world-renowned

newsman Lowell Thomas. The two were steadfast buds up until Carr’s death in 1950. They became pals in their days as rival newspaper editors, covering many of the same stories.

Carr edited a rival paper in Cripple Creek, The Times, at the same time Thomas was at the Victor Record and News.

But between 1939-1943, Colorado had one of the most courageous and independent governors ever to be elected, by many accounts.

Ralph Lawrence Carr was born in Rosita, Colo., and educated in the Cripple Creek school system. After receiv-ing his LLB from the University of Colorado, Carr moved to Victor, Trinidad and then Antonito where he practiced law and became a publisher.

Carr served as a county attorney of Conejos County, and then as Colorado Assistant Attorney General. The apex of his legal career occurred when he became a U.S. District Attorney.

As a Republican, Carr lost this infl uential post when the Democratic “New Dealers” began to dominate national politics. Despite this loss, he was able to stay in the public eye by becoming a powerful and prominent water/irriga-tion lawyer.

In 1939, a struggling Republican Party supported Carr as its gubernatorial candidate, and he won. Within the fi rst half-hour of his term, Carr proposed a plan for a balanced budget by transferring state income taxes from public schools to the state’s general fund.

These immediate fi scal measures helped to save our state from imminent bankruptcy. Also due to Carr’s leader-ship, the Legislature passed the State Reorganization Act, which greatly increased the effi ciency of state government.

As a result, Carr is one of the few governors known for making the Colorado bureaucracy more operative.

While Carr’s policies were aimed at dismantling the ex-pensive bureaucracy of the New Deal, Carr still supported Roosevelt’s foreign policy and favored American entrance into World War II after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941.

The war with Japan initiated a chain of events that bred discrimination and intolerance toward Japanese-Ameri-cans. In 1942, an estimated 120,000 Japanese-Americans were stripped of their property and possessions.

These displaced citizens were resettled in land-locked states by the War Relocation Authority so the supposed

“yellow peril” could be con-tained.

The question on many Colo-radans’ minds was not whether American citizens of Japanese descent should be stripped of their rights and put in intern-ment camps, but where the camps should be.

The overwhelming opinion of the populace was typifi ed by a series of highway billboards proclaiming, “Japs keep going.”

In other states, the governors took aggressive stances against allowing relocation camps in their States.

The governor of Wyoming went as far as saying: “There will be Japs hanging from every pine tree” if the federal government tried to relocate West Coast Japa-nese Americans there.

One of the few voices of rea-son during wartime was Gover-nor Carr, who continued to treat the Japanese-Americans with respect and sought to help them keep their American citizenship. He sacrifi ced his political career to bravely confront the often-dark side of human nature.

At one time, the New York Times considered him as being on the path to become president of the United States.

“If you harm them, you must harm me. I was brought up in a small town where I knew the shame and dishonor of race hatred. I grew to despise it because it threatened the happiness of you and you and you.”

Carr’s selfl ess devotion to all Americans, while destroying his hopes for a senate seat, did, in the end, become extolled as, “a small voice but a strong voice.”

The principled politician: The Ralph Carr Story by 9News reporter Adam Schrager, has brought new atten-tion to the forgotten hero and recently they renamed U.S. Highway 285 from Denver to the New Mexico state line the “Ralph Carr Memo-rial Highway.”

“Truth” About the Aquatic Center Location Finally Comes Out

To the Editor,

Well, now we know why the City Council was so adamant about build-ing the Aquatic Center on the high school property: a swimming pool for the school without taxpayer approval.

The article in the Dec. 9 Pikes Peak Courier is much more revealing than the council would really like, I’m sure.

The first paragraph exposes the true reason for the location: “guaranteed use of the pool for its high school swim team and physical education classes for the next 50 years!”

After reading the details and concessions to the high school for swim teams, locker rooms and parking

lot spaces, that likely leaves a small window of opportunity for the citizens between midnight and 5 a.m., but only if the center stays open 24 hours a day.

Not likely. And with the school parking lots full

and students parking on side streets during the day, I’m guessing that would be the only time a citizen could find a parking place within hiking distance.

Now the question is: Will you, the citizens of Woodland Park, allow your elected officials to unilaterally decide to ignore your desires, or will you stand up and say: “NO!” Your choice: do something now, or pay for it when the revenues fail to support another gran-diose boondoggle.

Thank you, Buck DuggerWoodland Park

Hubby of GMF mayor still unhappy with Courier coverage

To the Editor,Subject: Article dated 9 December 2015:

”GMF Mayor’s Husband Attacks the Courier”Message: Mr. Pitrone’s CORA request (via

Ms. Anne Esche) is his right and I applaud him for taking an active interest in the town of Green Mountain Falls. Reporting on his concerns is a freedom afforded to the media by the Constitu-tion. Unfortunately “how” things are reported range from fair journalism to unfair.

I maintain my assertion that in the article in question that your coverage was very unfair. Here are some important facts to consider when read-ing the article in question.

1. Mr. Pitrone’s Comments were made dur-ing the public comment agenda item. Public comment is a time allotted to citizens and other interested parties to address the board on mat-

ters they are concerned about. The Town Board does not respond to these comments in the same meeting as a matter of procedure.

2. Failure to understand how public comment works is how your reporter erred. The Courier’s reporter (as they should) took down notes for a news story during Mr. Pitrone’s comments. However, your reporter did not follow up with the town PIO and ask for the town’s comments on the accusations leveled at the board by Mr. Pitrone’s interpretation of the town’s records.

3. Your reporter only reported his accusa-tions. By definition that is reporting one side of the story.

If the Courier truly has zeal to “be a watch-dog” and to dig into town issues “with vigor,” they should consider speaking with board mem-bers when accusations are leveled at them. Get both sides of a story. This simple step will enable the Courier to polish its reputation.

Cat truths (and art) are stranger than fiction for Manly household

Guest Columnist Avalon A [email protected]

My editor doesn’t believe a word of this story.He doesn’t believe that, when I stay at my parents’

house, I wake up with Beanie Babies in my shoes, on my pillows, lining the stairs or displayed in perfect circles on the rugs.

He especially doesn’t believe that it’s the work of our cat, Charade.

But as every writer knows, editors are wrong all the time.

We adopted Charade from the Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region when she was just a few weeks old, a puff of gray fur with enormous, careful eyes.

She joined our menagerie, which includes a tortoise-shell who spends most of her time sleeping on her back with her paws in the air, and a red-and-white Australian shepherd.

A few years after Charade joined the family, she dis-covered my childhood stash of Beanie Babies, little stuffed animals, in a basket in the guest bedroom.

I don’t include these details just to bore you. They come into play later.

One morning during my high school years, we awoke to a number of Beanie Babies spread around the house, with no idea of how they got there.

The mystery was solved about a week later when Cha-

rade strolled into my parents’ bedroom in the middle of the night, meowing loudly through the cotton and plush of the Beanie Baby in her teeth.

That’s how it began and it continues still, nearly 10 years later. Most every night, Cha-rade digs through the Beanie Baby baskets, hauls them around the house and arranges them in ornate patterns.

(That sound in the background is my editor guffawing in disbelief.)

We call it her art.Charade is at her most artistic during times

of transition, when one of us leaves on a trip, or returns from being away, or we put up the Christmas tree.

We’ve even concluded that Charade associ-ates certain Beanie Babies with my parents and myself. For me, she uses an owl with a mortar board on its head (at least she thinks

I’m smart) and two white cocka-toos that frequently inhabit my shoes when I stay over.

For my mother, Charade uses an angel bear. Dad is a dragon.

Charade even has stuffed animal repre-sentations of herself and our other pets. The fluffy gray cat Beanie Baby – the one that most resembles Charade – is frequently found in her favorite places: in the office chair or under the Christmas tree.

When my mother, a counselor, sees clients at home, and they start to cry or become upset, Charade brings them Beanies and a meowing chorus to comfort them. When I adopted two cats myself, they made their way into Cha-rade’s displays as a pair of leopards.

A family friend and veterinarian, Gary, thought we were crazy until he stayed with us a few nights and saw Charade’s artwork for himself.

For a professional opinion, I called Suzanne Hetts, of Animal Behavior Associates, Inc. in Littleton, who is a PhD and certified applied animal behaviorist. I explained Charade’s noc-turnal displays, half expecting the same kind of snickering I get from my editor.

But she actually seemed to believe me. And she speculated that Charade, as an indoor cat, might be bored at night, while we all sleep, and is practicing hunting on the Beanies.

What about our belief Charade is capable of creating complex displays and using Beanie

Babies as abstract representations of other creatures? That’s absurd, right?

“It sounds like there’s a couple of possibilities,” Hetts said. “Obviously there’s something she enjoys about that process. ...Maybe she finds it comforting. Maybe to her, those are her buddies, so to speak.

“If she’s doing it when she might be stressed or there’s some sort of upset... having these items around could be somehow stress-relieving. If she’s viewing these stuffed animals as peers, and she likes hanging out with them, that might be the case.”

There are examples, Hetts said, of pets manipulating stuffed animals, piling them up and hiding them about when they’re bored or worried.

There is even precedent of animals creating art – even

art that clearly acts as an abstract representation of some-one or something else. It’s just that such works are usually made by creatures like elephants, whose reasoning skills far exceed those of house cats.

After checking out some of our photos of Charade’s art, Hetts commented on the cat’s precise placement of the Beanies.

“The orderliness of her behavior is quite striking,” she said. “(I’ve) not seen such careful arrangement before.”

Hetts conferred with a colleague, and they suggested the potentiality of maternal behavior – that Charade is acting out a scene in her head and the Beanie Babies are her kittens. But that’s odd, considering her age and the fact that she, as a spayed rescue, never had a litter.

My dad says that Charade, like Walter Mitty, has a rich inner life. Her art has gotten nothing but grander over the years. And I’m not sure that Hetts, for all her wisdom on the topic, can boil her nocturnal creativity down to base animal instinct.

Whether you believe me or not, I’ll still have to check my shoes for cockatoos and an owl this holiday season.

Parties, shopping, cooking, cleaning, entertaining and unwelcomed guests … the Christmas to New Year’s festivities present a dizzying array of demands. For many, the stress of the holidays results in fatigue, insomnia, illness, anxiety and depression, rather than peace and joy.

When I googled “Holiday Stress Tips,” I was referred to over 1 million websites. Think there might be a problem with stress during the holidays?

Here are some words of wisdom gleaned from numerous websites. First, learn to recognize common holiday triggers, so you can disarm them before they lead to a meltdown.

Start with relationships. Misunderstandings with fam-ily and friends can intensify during the holidays, especially if you’re thrust together for several days. Make a conscious effort

to set aside your differences during the holidays. Next, be proactive in dealing with the financial demands

of the season. The added expenses of gifts, travel, food and en-tertainment can put a serious strain on your finances and your peace of mind. Set a budget for the holidays and stick to it.

Another common holiday trigger centers on the physi-cal demands of shopping and socializing. Being exhausted increases your stress and sets you up for illness. The perfect antidote is exercise and sleep.

Acknowledge your feelings. If someone close to you has recently died or you can’t be with loved ones for the holidays, realize that it’s normal to feel sadness and grief no matter what the season.

And go ahead and cry. You can’t force yourself to be happy just because it’s the holiday season.

Reach out. If you feel lonely or isolated, seek out commu-nity, religious or other social events. Volunteering your time is a good way to lift your spirits and broaden your friendships.

Be realistic. The holidays don’t have to be perfect or just like last year. As families grow and change, traditions and ritu-als often change as well.

Learn to say no. Saying yes when you should say no can leave you feeling resentful and overwhelmed. Friends and colleagues will understand if you can’t participate in every activity.

Don’t abandon healthy habits and let the holidays become

a pagan free-for-all. Overindulgence only adds to your stress. Take a breather. Set aside some time for yourself to clear

your mind and refocus yourself. The holiday season is not a wind sprint.

And seek professional help if you need it. Despite your best efforts, you may find yourself feeling persistently sad or anxious, plagued by physical complaints, unable to sleep, irritable or feeling hopeless and unable to face everyday activities.

If these feelings persist, talk to your doctor or a mental health professional. Mental health experts contend that de-pression peaks during the holiday season, affecting some 17.6 million Americans.

A recent study by Pacific Health Laboratories found that 34 percent of men and 44 percent of women reported feeling “blue” this time of the year.

And finally, make the commitment to take control of the holidays this year. Take the necessary steps to short-circuit stress, fatigue and depression.

Holidays a time of peace, joy and stress, if you let them be

When we left off, we were discussing the winter of 1934-35 and its odd weather.

The spring produced a series of snow storms. In early May, a cloudburst brought mudslides in the Manitou Springs-Colo-rado Springs area.

A 12-inch snowfall, which extended from Cripple Creek to Cascade, halted train service, cut all telephone lines, impeded automobile traffic and closed most activity in the district.

Steam shovels worked on the Midland Terminal in Ute Pass a short distance above Manitou in an effort to clear a mudslide which covered the tracks.

Progress in clearing away the side was slow as a soak-ing rain continued all day, bringing additional dirt from the mountainside down on the tracks.

The cloudburst brought water 12 inches deep through the streets of Manitou, but little damage was reported.

Snow 12 to 16 inches deep fell from Cascade to Divide during the night. The fall was lighter in the district and was melting rapidly. Traffic was moving on the roads, but motorists are cautioned of the potential of rock slides in Ute Pass.

Small mudslides were reported, but none of them large enough to block traffic. After a 48-hour blockade due to the mudslide near Manitou, the Midland Terminal was able to resume service.

A five locomotive train of empty ore cars was hauled to the Cripple Creek District during the night, returning with as many loads on Monday morning. Another full train of emp-

ties was ready for the regular freight train in order to fill the demand for cars in the district.

In addition to the mudslide, the wet weather caused rocks from above the new concrete bridge to block the highway above Manitou. Similar problems are expected on both the railroad and highway as long as the rainy weather continued. This was not the end.

On Memorial Day a thunderstorm passed over Woodland Park to Palmer Lake, dumping several inches of rain. The wa-ter in Monument and Fountain creeks rose immediately. The ground was already saturated from nearly six weeks of rain.

The people in Monument reported that the lake, used still for making ice in the winter, was full before the storm started. Streams could be seen where there normally was none.

Colorado Springs was hit with water from the north and west. The Memorial Day flood of 1935 is the worst flood that this area would see until it was hit by a similar storm 30 years later. The odd part about this one, though, is that it started after a serious drought.

Letter to the eDitor

City manager criticized for ‘inaccu-rate’ statements on Aquatic Center

To the Editor,

I read City Manager David Buttery’s guest column in the Dec. 2 Courier in which he discussed the location of the Aquatic Center. It is easy to conclude that the Woodland Station location would be much more costly. I don't believe any Woodland Park resident is arguing that point. But his conclusions on the benefits of the school land lack objective findings in

several areas.I live in Forest Edge and have to travel

past the schools throughout the day. There is always traffic. The necessary 20 mph speed limit makes through-traffic even slower and cars are often backed up on Baldwin in all directions.

The school may not be in a residen-tial area, but it borders a residential area and with access only on the west side it is always congested. Buttery states: “Will it create significantly more traffic? No. Our staff doesn't think so." And "we don't think that the surges (in traffic) will have a huge impact on traffic flow."

Who is “your staff" and is that opinion from someone who is a traffic engineer? You cannot assume 120 drivers are going to arrive every 7.5 minutes!

Buttery’s comments on pool use are not accurate. I swam at the Downtown YMCA for years. There are several peak hours throughout a day. You cannot conclude that “eight people per hour” will use the pool unless you are going to control entry and use. Swimmers routinely use a pool early morning, noontime, later afternoon and early evening. Peak use is after school/work when you seem to indicate the WP swim team would then have priority use.

Having "a view" from the site should be a non-issue. If you are coming for pool activities, a view is not important.

I don't believe the other sites were even thoroughly investigated and considered and this is a detriment to the citizens of Woodland Park. I will be sorry I voted for the Aquatic Center if it is placed at the school location and instead becomes the school district pool facility.

Sincerely,

Gail GerigWoodland Park

trary to public survey results, which didn’t give that site as an option.

• There could be other sites that would be suitable without incurring the costs of using the Woodland Station site and without the issues presented by the school property.

• A possible conflict of interest on the parts of Mayor Neil Levy and Councilman Noel Sawyer, who both are employed as coaches by the district.

• At least one councilmember, Phil Mella, is concerned that the decision-making process hasn’t been transparent and hasn’t been open for enough public comment and debate.

At the Dec. 3 meeting, Mella voted against moving forward with the deal, harshly criticizing the way it was handled.

“I will be voting against this ordinance,” Mella said. “My vote . . . it should not be misconstrued as a comment on the loca-

tion near the school.

“It’s a com-ment on the process that has arrived at the deci-sion. I believe strongly that the process was not in keeping with full transpar-ency with re-spect to public input and a public debate by Council.

“I feel strongly it was not in keeping with best prac-tices of political governance.”

Mayor stands by decision to move Aquatic Center near high schoolBy Pat [email protected]

Despite growing controversy about the decision to move the Aquatic Center out of downtown, Mayor Neil Levy said he views the project as a huge accomplishment for Woodland Park and its leaders, in remarks during his annual State of the City speech.

“After almost 30 years of discus-sion and financial restraints and, with the approval of our voters, we are finally able to build an indoor aquatic facility with no increase in taxes,” Levy said, speaking to more than 100 business leaders and officials at the Dec. 9 event. “That

speaks to our city government and how they’ve saved your pennies and made it affordable for us to have this amenity.”

And Levy was firm about the city’s decision to build the center adjacent to the Woodland Park High School despite complaints at recent City Council meetings from members of the public, letters to the editor expressing outrage and even allegations of conflict of interest.

“We are finalizing an agree-ment with the school district to build the aquatic center on land that is currently owned by the dis-trict,” said Levy. “This agreement outlines the details of mutual ben-

efit to both par-ties; there will be a public hearing on Dec. 17 and the City Council will help finalize the process.”

Along with the Aquatic Center, Levy said, Woodland Park is being enhanced by projects such as the ongoing renovation of Memorial Park, which will be a “shining star” when completed this summer. The renovation is

funded by a $350,000 grant from Great Outdoors Colorado and $40,000 from Colorado Parks and Wildlife.

On the economic front, the Downtown Development Author-ity has provided tax incentives to attract businesses such as Tractor Supply Co. and the Trail Ridge apartments.

“Trail Ridge is already speak-ing about the possibility of an-other project in town,” Levy said. “Thank you, Brian Fleer (director of the DDA and Economic Devel-opment) for all the good work.”

As well, Levy praised Darlene Jensen, coordinator of the Main Street Program, and Deb Miller, president of the Greater Woodland Park Chamber of Commerce, for working to ensure the economic health of the city.

In a good new-bad news department, Levy praised Charis Bible College and its effects on Woodland Park’s revenue. For instance, the college intends to spend $175 million next year on construction.

However, Levy acknowledged criticism that the college does not, by law, pay a portion of its property taxes to the fire depart-ment, whose chief, Tyler Lambert, was in the audience. Some argue a fire at the college would leave the rest of the region at risk. They say Charis should contribute to the fire department so it can add

resources it needs to adequately protect everyone.

“We are working on some of the difficult issues with NETCO (Northeast Teller County Fire Pro-tection District), the city and the Downtown Development Author-ity,” Levy said. “I’m trying to figure out a way to close the gap on some of the issues.”

Another victory this year came in the area of affordable housing, Levy said. He credited Fleer and John Schafer (city councilman) for initiating the nonprofit organi-zation, Americawest Housing Solutions, which has begun con-struction on a 25-unit apartment complex.

“We will now be able to offer affordable rents for families with lower incomes in the near future,” Levy said.

Housing and aging are the driv-ing force behind two development projects.

“We are getting older as a com-munity,” he said. “So this older population is resonating with For-est Edge and Bob Schleicher.”

Levy was referring to the 85-bed skilled-nursing facility adjacent to the hospital scheduled to open this month.

“People thought Bob was nuts,” Levy said.

In addition, Eric Smith, former city councilman and principal of RTB Development, is opening an assisted-living facility, Aspen Bow-

ers, this summer. “These things are market-driv-

en,” Levy said. “We are an older community; for the 20-to-45-year demographic, it’s tough to find housing. It’s something that we’re working on.”

On a sour note, the school district has been adversely affected by the $17 million cut in public education over the past six years; as a result, the district’s teachers continue to be the lowest paid educators in the region.

Levy hinted at a possible ballot question next year.

“You will be given an oppor-tunity perhaps in the next few months to help in that regard,” Levy said, “There will be more information on that as we move forward.”

In conclusion, Levy asked that all people work together and take advantage of volunteer opportuni-ties.

“Take pride in our city; we have a great community; I don’t think anybody would argue with that,” he said. “Look at the smiles on everybody’s faces in this room. I’m fortunate to be mayor during this great time; you don’t want to be the mayor in the depth of the recession. Times are good right now.”

The Greater Woodland Park Chamber of Commerce sponsored the breakfast meeting at the Ute Pass Cultural Center.

The treasury of historic buildings in Woodland Park reflects an architectural narrative of the past along with the ingenuity of people for whom history is the wellspring of creativity.

In the catalogue of buildings whose owners maintain the historic lustre, the Hackman House and Studio West play a role in the image of Woodland Park as a place that cherishes its past.

The architectural styles are distinct. The Hackman House is a two-story Victorian, with gabled roof, promi-nent porch and decorative gabled ends. A block from the bustling Midland Avenue, the house stands out as a his-toric beacon amid twentieth-century modernity, asphalt parking lot, shopping center and auto parts.

Andrew Hackman and his wife Sophie built the home in 1887; the exterior is of native yellow pine with tiles from Van Briggle pottery around the fireplace.

The Hackmans were active in the development of Woodland Park. He served as town trustee and mayor from 1891 to 1897. His wife is credited with naming many of the streets such as Chestnut, Elm and Walnut, in addition to Gold Hill. From 1895 to 1897 she served as the town’s treasurer.

In 1929, the house was a hotel run by the Hackmans’ son, Abram, and his wife. From 1940 t0 2000, the house had several owners, including Marge Solsvig, a kindergar-ten teacher in Woodland Park; Pudge Walker, who opened an interior-design shop; Thomas and Margaret Collins, who ran an antique store; and David Mark, Don Rhodes, Ralph Schultz, Fred and Bernice Glauth.

In 2000, Bernice sold the house to her daughter, Laurie Glauth, who, with Jan Green, opened Mountain Naturals, the area’s first health-food store.

Building on success, Glauth and Green moved the busi-ness from the Hackman House to larger quarters on Red Feather Lane.

The information about the house was compiled by Barbara Darden, with Scheuber + Darden Architects, LLC and commissioned by the city of Woodland Park.

“If we don’t preserve our history, we lose our heritage,” said the city’s planning director, Sally Riley.

Ralph Holloway owns Studio West, a salon in the heart of downtown Woodland Park. Built in 1890, the structure was one of the original downtown buildings. A grainy photo from 1940 shows the building was originally a gro-cery store.

“When we did the Main Street Makeover, as we started pulling the front off to put the new façade up, we went through many layers and different signs – the one that was the most interesting said ‘”BREAD,’” Holloway said.

The late Cal Elder bought the building in 1980 from Ernest and Evelyn Zieroth. Elder renovated the building while maintaining the historic character. Elder sold the building to Holloway.

“Cal told me that there is a body under either this building or the Ute Inn,” Holloway said. “Nobody has ever put a date on when the person disappeared.”

However, according to an historical account main-tained by the city, there may be more than one body, possibly those of gambling inspectors who disappeared. Whether there’s a connection or not, Elder believed that the late Bert Bergstrom, the source of Woodland Park legend, once owned the building as well as the Ute Inn up the street.

According to the historical account, Bergstrom as involved in many of the gambling establishments in town, including the El Dorado Casino and the Thunderhead Ranch.

True or not, Bergstrom was one of several owners of the building since 1890. Dedicated to preserving a piece of Woodland Park history, Holloway didn’t count on the

mishaps. “Unfortunately, I found out after the fact that – as I was

walking across the corner of the building, I fell all the way through the floor,” Holloway said. “Come to find out when we started digging, the only thing holding the sides up were roof shingles because the foundation had completed rotted out.”

Today the building is in tip-top shape. For the salon’s customers, historic is hip.

“Usually when you think of a salon and spa, they’re real modern and we’ve found that the people who come in here say they like the wood, that old Western atmosphere,” said Holloway, who owns the salon with his wife, Darlene Holloway. “They like that warm feeling. Every once in a while, you’ll hear one of the old timers say they remember the building.”

A day that honors Teller County’s an-gels, people who give their time to others without seeking reward, depends on the energy of the nominators.

Certainly the Teller County Cares Volun-teer Service Awards is not a contest be-tween the southern and northern parts of the county. But, if it were, the south beats

the north when it comes to the energizer nominator.

“Perhaps the thought of putting a nom-ination (or more than one) can be daunt-ing. However, it is pretty straightforward,” said Karen Casey-Svetich, director of North Teller Build a Generation, co-host of the annual event with Lisa Noble, director of Gold Belt Community Build a Generation (south Teller).

In just 400 words or less, nominators

have a chance to tell a story, to make the case that their nominee should be the win-ner. With 15 categories to choose from, the nominator can zero in on the target.

In the past 14 years, more than 250 volunteers have been recognized for their special talents that contribute to the qual-ity of life in Teller County.

The ceremony in February is an expose of sorts, a coming out of people who normally work behind the scenes. Most are stunned at being nominated.

“Gosh, yes, I was surprised,” said Jon DeVaux, who won the Les Mellot, Jr. award that recognizes volunteerism through long-term service to local governments.

Nominated by Sally Riley, Woodland Park’s planning director, DeVaux fits the profile. Current chairman of the city’s planning commission, member of Pikes Peak Regional Medical Association Board, Community Investment Board and Down-town Development Authority, DeVaux served nine years on the city council.

“You get caught up in this and try to do

the best you can for the community,” he said.

Looking back on the ceremony at the Cripple Creek Heritage Center last year, DeVaux said, “I didn’t realize the impact - we receive the awards in front of our peers, all those volunteers. It just feels good – and my name goes on a plaque in the council chambers.”

Ryan Baade and the team at Woodland Park Parks and Recreation Department scored the winning nomination in the Children/Youth category.

“The Woodland Park Hockey Associa-tion does a lot for the community, such as the exchange for people who can’t afford new equipment; they volunteer time for the skills and drills for recreational hockey,” Baade said. “They donate count-less hours, flooding the rink at Meadow Wood, doing the maintenance, things we couldn’t do without the help. We use the rink for open skating and open hockey for the community. Their programs definitely help the youth so we thought that war-ranted their nomination.”

Hospital promotes from within in selecting new CEOBy Pat [email protected]

Ditch the “interim” tag. Kim Monjesky is the new chief execu-tive officer of Pikes Peak Regional Hospital.

For the past six years, Monjesky has served the hospital as chief financial officer. Since October, she has filled the vacancy as the interim CEO.

Monjesky’s appointment last week stands out as she is the first ex-ecutive officer to have lived in Wood-land Park and hired in-house since the hospital opened Oct. 1, 2007.

“This has given me an oppor-tunity to build strong relationships with our medical staff, the Board of Trustees and our team,” she said. “This makes it really exciting to step into the CEO role, to move forward on that solid foundation.”

Monjesky beat out the competi-tion for the position after a full day of interviews with the trustees, the medical staff and IASIS Healthcare, which manages the hospital.

“We are pleased that Kim has ac-cepted the CEO role at the hospital,” said Ed Lamb, president of the West-ern Division of IASIS Healthcare. “I believe her extensive healthcare background will be a tremendous advantage.”

Undaunted by the fact that she follows a line of previous CEOs who suddenly left employment, most re-cently, Terry Buckner, who was let go by IASIS in October, Monjesky harks back to her experience at PPRH.

“There are lots of opportunities to move forward, grow and develop,” she said.

While some residents continue to receive healthcare services in Colo-rado Springs, many of them on refer-rals by their physicians, Monjesky is dedicated to the hospital’s expand-ing resources and services.

“We continue to do education on what services we have available, to promote the convenience factor for folks who want their health care close to home,” she said.

As the hospital’s leader, Monjesky outlines the components of her new role that includes developing:

• Strategy: “You have to make sure you’re looking at the big picture and what do we want the hospital to look like six months, one year or two years from now,” she said. “If you don’t continually work towards the future, you’re never going to get there. There always has to be an anchor point in the CEO role.”

• Relationships: “We have several different areas that get us connected to the community – the Senior Circle, for instance. We had 160

people come to the circle’s holiday luncheon this week,” she said. “We have more than 500 members. For me personally that is an exciting part of this new role. In the CFO role, you really don’t have that connection.”

• Holistic: “Making sure that our medical staff and our clinicians are solid. We need to focus on the whole team,” she said.

• Hire: Three positions, includ-ing that of chief financial officer. In October, along with Buckner, Luke Peterson, chief nursing officer, and Sherilyn Skokan, director of emer-gency department services, were let go suddenly. As a result, Trish Harris is the acting CNO and Heather Sieracki is the interim emergency department director while Wendy Westall will assume responsibility for acute care services.

Before joining PPRH, Monjesky was with St. Mary Corwin Medical Center in Pueblo, serving as both CFO and vice president of opera-tions. For five years, she commuted to Pueblo from her home in Wood-land Park.

Monjesky and her husband Ed-ward have two adult children, Steven and Rachel.

Ciccarelli’s father, Thomas, is of Italian heritage and a graduate of Woodland Park. His mother, Rimi, is Japanese. They met when Thomas was in the military and stationed in Japan.

He may struggle with English in the classroom, but his teammates understand him, loud and clear, when he’s got the basketball in his hands.

“He knows how to play and the language problem doesn’t affect anything we do on the court,” said Woodland Park senior guard Dominik Cunico. “He basically knows all the main words he needs to know. He’s always the one reaching out to us on Face-book.”

Ciccarelli, 15, attended a Japanese middle school prior to moving to Florissant in May, where he is living with his grandparents.

“My dad wanted me to study English for college

because he liked the United States schools better,” Cic-carelli said.

Ciccarelli’s middle school had about 70 students, less than one-tenth the size of Woodland Park.

Ciccarelli’s parents, as well as his three younger siblings, live in Japan. They accompanied him to the U.S. in May and stayed with him for a month.

“We ‘Face Time’ at least once a week,” Ciccarelli said with a smile.

The rest of the week, he has his teammates, who have embraced him.

“I was looking on film and I noticed that I got him quite a few assists,” Woodland Park sophomore guard Josh Bodin said with a smile regarding Ciccarelli’s 38-point game.

“He relieves the pressure off of some people on the team so they don’t feel like they have to do all the scor-ing. Skye’s here and he can

score great.”Woodland Park coach

John Paul Geniesse isn’t mak-ing any bold predictions on Ciccarelli’s basketball future, but he does like what the young man is bringing to the program so far.

“He’s extremely humble,” Geniesse said. “He’s a team-first kid and he’s extremely coachable. He asks appro-priate questions and he’s a student of the game.”

Ciccarelli lets his basket-ball do most of his talking on the court.

“Everybody is nice and I don’t have to talk much,” said Ciccarelli, who is considering running track or cross coun-try for the school. “I just have to go out there and play.

“I was a little nervous before school started, but everybody talked to me and helped me with stuff I didn’t know. I was able to make friends and that made things easier.”

Winter Hockey Classic likely to return to WPGame would involve Palmer and Coronado; seven WP students play for Palmer

It looks like the Winter Hockey Classic is returning to Woodland Park.

“We’re keeping our fingers crossed,” said Bill Edie, the rink maintenance coordinator for the Woodland Park Hockey Association. “We have the teams and the ice time. We just have to get all the details worked out.”

Scheduled for 7 p.m., Feb. 5, the classic would be played at the Meadow Wood Park ice hockey rink and feature Palmer and Coronado high schools.

Palmer and Coronado were the obvious choices for this year’s game. Six Woodland Park students are on the Palmer team – about one-quarter of the Terrors’ roster. In past years, several Woodland Park players have skated for Coronado.

“It would be great to play high school hockey in my own town,” said Woodland Park sophomore Nate Bradley, who is a defenseman for Palmer.

Bradley grew up playing on the Meadow Wood Park ice as a member of the Woodland Park Hockey Association. So did his five classmates who skate for Palmer; senior Leanne Dwyer, sophomores Colton Ivory, Darwin Edie and Alex Hoagland, Colton Hudson and Robert Costello.

“If this comes together, this will be a great experience,” said Darwin Edie, a forward. “It’s unique to be able to play outside.”

The only high school game ever played at Meadow Wood occurred in February 2014 when Lewis-Palmer de-feated Pine Creek in a night game. Temperatures plunged into the low teens as a steady snowfall covered the rink.

“Kids paid to go onto the ice during timeouts to scrape the snow off the blue lines,” Bill Edie said with a laugh. “The snow made things kind of tough that night, but it was a really great experience for everyone involved.”

The second Winter Hockey Classic was supposed to take place last February, but an unusually warm winter forced the cancellation of the game when the ice became too slushy, making conditions unsafe for the players.

Bradley was a spectator at the 2014 Winter Classic game as an eighth-grader. Prior to that featured event, he played in a game involving Woodland Park Hockey As-sociation teams.

“You could hardly see the puck,” Bradley said with smile. “You’d get a breakaway and it would get stuck in the snow.

“But it was so cool to be skating outside when you see the moon and the snow coming down.”

The first time Bradley ever skated was on the Meadow Wood Park ice when he moved here from southern Califor-nia in 2006.

“The most ice I ever saw prior to coming here was a cool drink with ice cubes in it,” he said.

Palmer first-year coach Kevin Moore is excited about the chance of playing an outdoor game.

“It’s a really great opportunity for our kids,” Moore

said. “When you look back, hockey was played on outdoor rinks. There’s just something special about playing hockey outside.”

Bradley and his fellow Woodland Park classmates had the unique experience of playing on the outdoor Meadow Wood Park rink during their formative years of hockey. Each year in early December, members of the Woodland Park Hockey Association, in conjunction with the city of Woodland Park – which actually runs the rink – begin the process of laying down the ice.

“It takes several weeks,” Bill Edie said. “We hope to be done around Christmas, but with the warmer weather it may make things difficult for us.”

There is no permanent covering for the rink. Thin tarp-like shades are put into place on poles around the rink each season. Three poles are being replaced by the city because they are either broken or unsafe.

It looks like there will be a Winter Classic hockey game at Meadow Wood Park ice rink in February. The first Winter Classic in 2014 featured Lewis-Palmer and Pine Creek. //File photo

Panthers fall to Discovery Canyon 60-33 in boys b-ballBy Danny [email protected]

Coming off its fi rst victory in almost two calendar years, the Woodland Park High School boys’ basketball team got a reality check on Dec. 10 against a familiar foe.

The Panthers shot just 19 percent from the fi eld and 44 percent from the free throw line during a 60-33 non-league loss at Discovery Canyon.

Still, the game was much closer for three quarters than the fi nal score would indicate.

“It was really just shots not falling and us not rebounding,” said Woodland Park senior guard Dominik Cunico. “One of our biggest things right now is not getting off the ball and rebounding. I think if we make one quarter of the shots we put we are right in this game.”

Added Woodland Park sophomore Josh Bodin, who fi nished with six points on 2 of 13 shooting: “We had good shots and we had good looks, but we were rushing our shots too much and that’s why they weren’t dropping.”

Cunico and super freshman Skye Cic-carelli were the focal points of a stingy Discovery Canyon defense that focused on shutting down Woodland Park’s two scorers.

“We knew who (Woodland Park’s) scor-ers were and we had a game plan to take them out of the game,” said Discovery Can-yon senior forward Colin McGettigan, who scored a game-high 13 points.

Cunico made just 1 of 11 shots (a 3-pointer) on his way to a team-high nine points. He made 6 of 10 free throws before fouling out with 5:16 remaining in the fourth.

Ciccarelli, who averaged 24 points per game in his fi rst three contests to being his career, was held to just three points on 1

of 9 shooting. He was 1 for 3 from the free throw line.

“I just didn’t get open because they were on me the whole time,” Ciccarelli said of Discovery Canyon’s defense.”

Despite being outsized (Discovery Canyon’s starting lineup averaged better than 6-foot-3) the Panthers trailed by only 10 points (37-27) with about 90 seconds remaining in the third quarter following a Orion Drummond free throw. Drummond, who has taken on the role of super-sub, scored fi ve points and grabbed a team-high four rebounds.

“The way to beat taller men is to be physical; you gotta get them out of the way” said Drummond, who stands about 6-feet.

The matchup between the two schools also was a much-anticipated homecom-ing for Woodland Park coach John Paul Geniesse. The high-energy coach started the Discovery Canyon program in 2007 and coached the team through the 2013 season. He left to become an assistant at Doane College in Nebraska. He returned to coaching at the prep level in 2014 when he accepted the Woodland Park position.

“It was nice to come back and to see the kids and the parents who we had great relationships with,” Geniesse said.

“We had a job to do to come and in and win a basketball game. We didn’t do that, but I’m super proud of our kids’ efforts. They worked their tails off. They worked hard. They didn’t stop.”

Geniesse coached against Discovery Canyon last season, but that game was in Woodland Park. The Panthers lost 78-31.

“Our kids played hard tonight,” Ge-niesse said. “We had some shots that didn’t drop, but we battled and stayed with them most of the game. The score was not in-dicative of what kind of a game this was.

“I like where we’re headed. We’re headed in the right direction.”

Museum focuses on fundraising and community outreach

By Sonja OliverContributing writer

The Cripple Creek District Museum is working to “become more self suffi cient as quickly as we can,” director Richard Tremayne told the Cripple Creek City Council at its Dec. 5 meeting.

Tremayne and his team are pursuing grant funding from numerous sources as they pursue this goal.

Currently, the museum has acquired three outstanding grants, one of which includes a new roof on the depot building.

“The museum is a very big business in Cripple Creek. We are cited as one of the top ten museums in the west,” Tremayne said.

Over the past six months, the museum has participated in an increasing number

of city events. Tremayne says they will con-tinue to do so, citing “Winter Wonderland,” which was conducted as part of the city’s “Victorian Christmas in the Gold Camp” events.

For the museum’s part, the event fea-tures Christmas Carolers, hot chocolate, pictures with Santa Claus and more from noon until 4 p.m. on weekends through Dec. 20.

Tremayne said the museum has also held fundraising events such as “The Greatest Gold Camp on Earth” in which over 80 people attended.

“And we made money,” Tremayne said.Tremayne also took the opportunity to

thank the current Board of Directors which is “made up of bankers, comptrollers, au-thors and entrepreneurs and the museum has received so much help.”

Since 1953, the Cripple Creek District Muse-um has been a treasure trove of history. It is named as one of the top ten Western museums in the country. //Photo by Sonja Oliver /The Courier

Unique gifts can be found in off-the-beaten-path shopsBy Sonja Oliver

Contributing Writer

For the adventurous and discerning givers of gifts, go-ing off the beaten path for holiday presents can make for a satisfying shopping experience and picturesque excursion.

Teller County shop owners are staying current with unique gifts from the trending to the traditional.

The Courier stopped by to sample a few shops in Woodland Park, Cripple Creek and Victor in search of gift ideas. Here is some of what we found:

WOODLAND PARKThe Cowhand, a 50-year shopping tradition, has so

much more than western wear, although, according to owner Merry Jo Larsen, “western is never out of style.”

Trending this year, Larsen says that a more subtle “mountain western style” is more the rage with subdued leather wear and less bling.

Natural furs and feathers incorporated into fashion ap-parel adds a very classic look, says Larsen. And her unique gift ideas include tooled leather gun holsters and rifle scabbards, cowboy wild rags, scarves, Native American and Western jewelry, sheepskin slippers and much more.

The store carries cowboy and mountain western ap-parel including boots, hats, coats, vests and mens and ladies wear. Throughout the entire month of December up until Christmas, Larsen said she will be having daily and weekly specials with generous discounts.

If you’re looking for lodge style, mountain comfort, rus-tic elegance, or all of the above, Tweeds Fine Furnishings features a gallery of unique gifts for the home. In addition to furnishings and artwork, Tweeds has become a holiday tradition for many over the past 15 years.

According to co-owner Milt Sommers, Christmas orna-ments to reflect the personalities of the receiver and bat-tery operated luminary candles are increasingly popular.

“A lot of people are collecting Santa Claus’s and on a whimsical note, anything ‘moose’ is still trending,” says Sommers.

The store is decorated throughout to reflect the season with certain themes such as a musical section featuring an antique sleigh, carolers and a Christmas tree decorated

with ballerinas, nutcrackers and everything musical.Tweeds will be hosting a community open house in

conjunction with the upcoming Woodland Park holiday home tour over the weekend of Dec. 5-6.

Another Woodland Park favorite is Brenda’s Boutique, a resale store that carries both new and “gently-used” ladies and mens wear, plus cabin or ranch decor.

Owner Renee Trichell says that “bling” in contempo-rary ladies wear has made a comeback. The store also car-ries original and fashion jewelry, soaps, decorative items and even a few antiques.

CRIPPLE CREEKHeading up the mountain to the city of Cripple Creek,

a stop at 9494 Gifts with Attitude located on the 300 block of Bennett Ave. we found Chris Burcaw, co-owner with her husband, Bill Burcaw.

Chris Burcaw says coloring books with intricately beautiful and challenging designs for adults to color are really hot as gifts this year and are touted to be better than Yoga in the stress relieving department.

According to a London Guardian article, the coloring books are able “to help adults ‘de-stress and self-express’ with some of the books explicitly labeling themselves as ‘art therapy.’”

9494 also carries original artwork by local artists in-cluding handmade Santa Claus dolls by local artist Sharon Skogan, original Western art by Matt Atkinson, wildlife photography by Rob Palmer and ornaments and watercol-ors by Jo Ann Kincaid, among others.

On the other side of Bennett Ave. Creations Everlasting Boutique and Tea Room features contemporary clothing, home decor and official NFL merchandise. The store offers a smorgasbord of gift items selected by owner Edie Smith, who says entertaining has become more popular this year. For example, at her store and tea room, she has had hosted a Christmas gift, guests coming in for tea and then attending the Butte Theater performance of "The Christ-mas Donkey."

There are many more specialized shops and boutiques and a trip to Cripple Creek is well worth the drive.

VICTORA journey just a few miles further out to Victor rewards

with the Victor Trading Company and Manufacturing Works at 114 S. Third St.

Owners and artisans Sam and Karen Morrison began making brooms 25 years ago and, since that time, have branched out into tinsmithing, candlemaking, printing and antique purveying.

Karen Morrison says that aside from their own com-pany’s handmade letterpress antique prints, brooms, beeswax candles and tin cookie cutters and cans, the store carries wind-up toys by Kikkerland Design Inc. to provide a whimsical gift for both children and adults.

Kitterland holds design contests and manufactures the winning designs, staying fresh with innovative ideas.

A stop at the Victor Lowell Thomas Museum is also worthwhile with a wide selection of unique gift items including jewelry and antiques.

Following the visit to so many stores, all in one day, a stop right next door to the Victor Trading Co., is the Gold Camp Bakery owned by Gertrud Wuellner and Ralf Bock. The bakery features Christmas cookies, pastries, cakes and stollen, a German fruit and nut bread baked only during the holidays. The bakery does take special orders and is helpful with delicious dessert ideas for holiday parties.

Holiday cookies, pastries, cakes and Christmas stollen make great gifts and can be found at the Gold Camp Bakery in Victor. //Photo by Sonja Oliver

Hick picks Woodland Park men for judicial nominating commission

By Pat Hill

[email protected]

Phil Mella and Dan Nich-olson of Woodland Park have been appointed by Gov. John Hickenlooper to the 4th Judicial District Nominating Commis-sion.

“The commission convenes when there is a vacancy in the 4th Judicial District,” Mella said. “It’s seen as a fairly important post because the district has been hearing a lot of critical cases.”

Mella, who serves on the Woodland Park City Council, is known for his conservative philosophy.

“I’m looking forward to it – the jurisprudence also dovetails with my interest in the legisla-tive process and study of the Supreme Court,” he said.

Mella made news last week when his was the lone vote against building the Aquatic Center at the high school, not because he opposed the location but because, in his view, the

public had no chance to weigh in on the initial proposal by City Manager David Buttery.

Nicholson is a successful businessman who last year sold Mountain Home Medical to a large corporation.

“It’s an honor for sure,” Nich-olson said. “I’ve been interested in the political system for years, am a history buff, particularly interested in the Civil War.”

Like Mella, Nicholson con-siders the appointment a chance to be involved in the judicial process.

“I’ve hired and helped devel-op a lot of people over the years, worked with many attorneys,” he said.

Nicholson credits his refer-ences to helping him secure the appointment: Teller County residents, Sam Gould and Clarke Becker, along with Boul-der attorney Greg Smith.

Mella and Nicholson were nominated by term-limited Mary Barrowman, chief execu-tive officer of Prospect Home Care & Hospice.

“To be appointed by the Governor of Colorado to serve on the 4th Judicial Nominat-ing Committee was an honor,” Barrowman said. “Each judicial district in Colorado has a nomi-nating commission consisting of three attorneys and four non-attorneys who select nominees for county and district appoint-ments.”

During her six-year term, Barrowman participated in the nomination selection of approx-imately 20 judges, including two Teller County judges.

“There are not many oppor-tunities for individual citizens to contribute to our democ-racy. Paying taxes, voting and obeying the rules of society are elementary,” she said. “We must all strive to do all we can.

“I liken my time on the com-mission second to my service in the United States Navy. I am very pleased we will have strong Teller County representation with Dan and Phil.”
