Maps showed 20 lots clustered on two new cul de sacs in the area where the clubhouse, tennis courts and swimming pool were located off Mis- sion Hill Way. Another nine lots would be created on a cul de sac off the south end of Gleneagle Drive. The remaining 27 lots would be carved out of space along Gleneagle, Mission Hill and scattered along Pauma Valley Drive, Huntington Beach Drive, Doral Way and River Oaks Drive. Developer Scott Gratrix, of G&S Development Inc., said lots would average about one-third of an acre. “We felt that size lot was the right size for the community,” Gratrix said. “Just about every lot backs up to open space. So there’s no need to cre- ate huge lots.” Gratrix said the lots have not been priced and he planned to sell the lots to builders – mostly smaller, custom companies. Several people asked if he’d consider selling lots to individuals. “I haven’t ruled it out,” he said. He said he intends to develop about 45 acres and give the remaining 90 acres to the Gleneagle Civic Association homeowners group for trails and open space. “It’s our gift to the community,” Gratrix said. But the crowd didn’t embrace his gift and Gra- trix was peppered with questions from a skeptical crowd. Many asked why neighbors would want to shoulder the burden of watering, mowing and paying property taxes on the 90 acres. They sug- gested he give the land to El Paso County for a park. “The county doesn’t want the ground,” Gratrix said. Some wanted to know about the impact of in- creased traffic. Others wondered about the fate of the clubhouse, pool and tennis courts. Might they become a community center? No, Gratrix said. They would be removed and houses built.

    Palmer Lake Elementary School was awarded the Closing the Achievement Gap Award by the Colorado Board of Education earlier this month.

    In accepting the award, Peggy Griebenow, principal of Palmer Lake, told the board Feb. 10 that closing the achievement and growth gap for students also helps close the hope gap.

    Teaching students to read, do math and write gives them hope, she said. It helps them feel empowered and gives them confidence to choose to do any-thing, go anywhere and be anyone they want to be, Griebenow said.

    With the award, Palmer Lake Ele-mentary received a banner to hang at the school and a $10,000 check.

    Since 2006, Colorado, in conjunc-tion with the National Title I Associa-tion, has selected examples of superior Title I school programs for recognition through the National Title I Distin-guished Schools program.

    Schools are selected in one of two categories:

    Exceptional Student Performance for two or more consecutive years.

    Closing the Achievement Gap be-tween Student Groups.

    Schools are selected based on a combination of academic achieve-ment of the students in the school and the creative and innovative programs that contribute to their success. These Colorado schools join hundreds of other distinguished schools nation-wide making a difference for our Title I children.

    In order to be eligible, schools must meet the following criteria:

    Poverty rate of at least 35 percent;Demonstrate high academic

    achievement for two or more consecu-tive years;

    Meet or exceed state criteria for at least two consecutive years.

    From among more than 750 Title I schools in the state of Colorado, one school receives this award in each of the two categories.

    The long-awaited adoption of new water rates was delayed yet again by the Monument Board of Trust-ees in response to complaints from the community about the impact of large increases on the poor and area businesses.

    Before the rate increase could even be considered, Town Manager Chris Lowe made an abrupt offer to try one more time to look for ways to soften the im-pact on the poor and elderly on fixed incomes.

    We think weve received some really good infor-mation from members of the community, Lowe told the board. Id like some time to come back and give you revisions. We need to make sure everyone in the community has an opportunity to talk to us about this rate.

    His request caught several trustees by surprise, including Jeff Bornstein, who said he came prepared to vote against the rate increase, as proposed in late December.

    But the board agreed unanimously to delay pend-

    ing a town hall meeting Feb. 22.Lowe had asked approval to increase the cost of

    water for average households by 50 percent this year, to be followed by 8 percent rate increases each year until 2021.

    Under the plan, people using 3,000 gallons of wa-ter or less a month would pay a flat monthly rate of $40.

    During the winter, the average monthly bill would jump from $33.75 currently to about $52, or a 54 per-cent increase. That is based on an average consump-tion of 5,000 gallons a month.

    In the summer, when water use is much heavier, the average bill would jump from $88.66 last year to $134, or a 51 percent increase. That is based on an average of 14,000 gallons used per month.

    Lowe blamed the need for such a large rate in-crease on 20 years of inaction by previous boards, causing the water enterprise to lose money and re-quiring $435,000 in transfers from the town general fund in recent years to keep it solvent.

    But some question why the town is trying to re-verse 20 years of damage in just six years.

    Such dramatic increases concern people like John Dominowski, who came to Monument in 1985,

    bought the Coffee Cup cafe, and then bought the en-tire Front Street Square center in 1992.

    Im concerned about the size of the water in-crease, Dominowski said. We share expenses with our tenants. This is such a huge hit the first year.

    Nobody disagrees there may be a need for a water rate increase. But we need to slow this down. They cant fix this overnight.

    Dominowski said he worries a simple water leak could devastate a business or homeowner.

    Weve had a toilet run all weekend, he said. We had a huge water bill because of it. What if that happens again? Can you imagine what well be hit with?

    Mayor Rafael Dominguez was emphatic that the board would no longer abdicate its responsibili-ties.

    We have a duty up here and we dont want to be like the federal government, Dominguez said. We have a $19 trillion national debt because they dont have a backbone. The rates will go up. Unfortunately, its going to have an impact on the community. We will be voting on the matter.

    Dominguez said the board would vote on the new rates at its March 3 meeting.

    Water rate hike vote delayed until public meeting

    A 17-year-old youth was arrested by Monument Police on Feb. 18 on suspi-cion of engaging in a mini crime spree that included shooting through a win-dow of a westside home, burglarizing another house and even arson.

    He was arrested and charged with suspicion of three felonies: criminal mischief, second-degree burglary and illegal discharge of a firearm. He also faces several misdemeanors.

    The youth, whose name was not released, was arrested as police in-vestigated a string of midday emer-gency calls that started with reports of shots fired in the 500 block of Trum-bull Lane, south of Dirty Woman Creek Park.

    Police Lt. Steve Burk said in a news release that responding officers discov-ered one bullet had been fired into the front window of a home. No one was hurt in the incident.

    Shortly after noon, as officers were

    still on the scene at Trumbull, a call came in from the 300 block of McShane Place, about a half-mile north, report-ing a structure fire.

    Firefighters found a fire burning in the garage of the home and quickly ex-tinguished it. The cause remains under investigation.

    Meanwhile, police contacted and arrested the 17-year-old suspect and found him carrying a handgun and an iPad.

    Later that day, a resident of the 600

    block of Trumbull Lane called to report a burglary. Police said a handgun and iPad were among the items stolen.

    Officers said they later connected the same suspect to area of the struc-ture fire.

    The juvenile was transported to Spring Creek Youth Services Center and held pending disposition of seven assorted criminal charges.

    Anyone with information regarding the incidents is asked to call the Monu-ment Police Department at 481-3253.

    Art and the ice business, Palmer Lake and Cripple Creek, Prof. Ferdi-nand Hayden and the U.S. Geological Survey, local architecture, and Rudyard Kiplings Nobel Prize for Literature . . . all roads lead to Paris.

    Walter Paris, that is. He arrived in the Pikes Peak area in

    the summer of 1873. As a young man, Paris, an esteemed English-trained ar-chitect, had been appointed assistant architect in Bombay, by the English government. He had befriended John Lockwood Kipling, who was profes-sor at the Bombay School of Art, at the time.

    One morning, December of 1865, John Kipling rushed over to Paris bun-galow to announce that his wife had given birth to a 12-pound boy. A few days later, Paris went to see the infant and held him in his arms. The infants name was Rudyard Kipling, who grew up to be one of the most famous Brit-ish writers in India and the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature 1907. Paris maintained a friendship with the Kiplings and their son, and by 1899, when Rudyard Kipling was living in Vermont, Paris rightfully consider himself Kiplings oldest, friend, writes Palmer Lake historian Daniel W. Edwards, in a historical paper for the Palmer Lake Historical Society in July 2010.

    By 1873, Walter Paris was painting watercolor sketches around the Pikes

    Peak region. He continued to design buildings in Colorado, including an office building on Tejon Street in Colorado Springs, and a school in west Denver, but also set in motion plans for an Ice House near Divide Lake in northern El Paso County.

    Divide Lake (later rechristened Palmer Lake) was leased from the railroad and Paris built an ice house there that could store 2,000 tons of ice to be sold in Denver, Colorado Springs and Pueblo.

    Paris and W.S. Hannaford estab-lished the Fountain Ice Co., and pur-chased existing ice houses in Colorado Springs and Manitou.

    The companys ice house at Palmer Lake was completed by the end of 1873, and there is one tantalizing reference to Paris sending carpen-ters to build, if not the beginnings of town, at least some houses at Divide Lake where workers at his plant could spend the winter. If Paris did con-struct housing facilities, it indicates there was a small settlement at the

    future site of Palmer Lake long before Thompson began his development ef-forts in 1883, writes Dan Edwards.

    Paris joined the Prof. Ferdinand Haydens U.S. Geological Survey team that documented first into Yellowstone region of Wyoming in the early 1870s was working as an artist for the survey in the fall of 1874.

    Mr. Walter Paris, who has been accompanying Prof. Haydens party in their trip northward from Colorado Springs, along the base of the moun-tains, has made a number of sketches of scenery in Pleasant Park and other localities along the route, and extends and invitation to our citizens to call at his studio and look them over, reported the Colorado Springs Gazette on Oct. 24, 1874.

    But he became restless. In January 1875, Paris wrote to Hayden in Wash-ington, at the time.

    I feel that a reputation is not to be gained in an out-of-the-way place like Colorado Springs, and the best plan to make ones self known is to come East and exhibit my works, and should I succeed in getting commissions to paint views of this part of country I can come West in May or June next

    He did so by March of that year, as reported in Washington papers, but still had not sold all of his property in Colorado as late as 1881, when records show as owner of an ice house and nine acres of land in Colorado Springs.

    Paris returned to Colorado sev-eral times in the ensuing years and sketched a number of scenes in and around Cripple Creek in 1892.

    Mr. Walter Paris has returned from Cripple Creek bringing with him some excellent sketches of the town from various points in the vicinity and two water colors of mountain scenery. He also has a very vigorous sketch the main street while the fire was in prog-ress Wednesday night, reported the Colorado Springs paper.

    Described as a large man, broad-shoulders, well-built, and wore a mustache and full beard squarely cut, in the Dictionary of American Biogra-phy, he seemed to be well-connected here in the U.S. and his native England, in fact attending a White House reception hosted by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1905. He died in Washington in November 1906 at the age of 54 from the effects of a stroke.

    He had a dignity which verged on pomposity and was slow and heavy in movement and speech, and latter distinctly British in accent... Of his own work and attainments he held high opinion, and not infrequently frankly expressed, and he was intoler-ant of criticism, but this characteristic also may been only the armor worn to protect a super-sensitive nature, ac-cording to the Dictionary of American Biography.

    A confession. One of my guilty pleasures is reading those Worst cit-ies rated types of stories that pop up constantly on the Internet.

    Or Worlds richest people. Or Big-gest party schools. Or Best places to retire. You get the idea.

    So I had to look when RoadSnacks.net posted its list of Colorado Cities with the Most Ashley Madison Ac-counts.

    Who is Ashley Madison and why would anyone have an account with her?

    Well, Ashley is no relation to former First Lady Dolley Madison who be-came a national hero for saving White House treasurers from British troops in the War of 1812! In fact, Ashley is no lady at all.

    Ashley Madison is a dating website for married people. In other words, its a website for cheaters. Its not-so-subtle motto is: Life is short. Have an affair.

    Since 2002, it has invited paying customers to create anonymous ac-counts to discreetly solicit for sex. Cus-tomers can advertise for all kinds of partners and all manner of fantasies.

    You may remember the huge scan-dal that erupted last July when hackers breached the website database and stole personal information on millions of clients including names, home and email addresses, sexual fantasies and credit card data.

    Then, in August, the hackers posted

    all the confidential information online, revealing some famous names among the clients including politicians and even family-values activists.

    Now, the website RoadSnacks.net has analyzed the hacked data and compiled lists rating cities across America based on the number of resi-dents with Ashley Madison accounts per capita.

    Kind of a Top 10 Cheating Towns list. An infidelity index.

    And they broke down their lists by states, including Colorado. I had to look. RoadSnacks reported that Colo-rado had more than 207,920 accounts created with Ashley Madison.

    Thats a lot, considering that the entire population of the state is 4 mil-lion, RoadSnacks reported, noting there are more than 32 million Ashley Madison accounts worldwide.

    In explaining its methodology, RoadSnacks said it created a list of 139 Colorado communities with 2,000 residents or more. (Actually, the list is based on ZIP codes and includes communities like Divide, which had

    just 127 residents based on 2014 U.S. Census projections.)

    Finally, we used an estimate for the population of the ZIP codes to identify the number of cheaters per capita, the website said.

    Guess what Tri-Lakes area com-munity ranked No. 1 in Colorado for Ashley Madison accounts per capita . . . the Air Force Academy!

    RoadSnacks reported it found 464 accounts among the 3,711 people liv-ing at the academy, or 12.5 percent of the population.

    Again, I think those numbers are skewed. The U.S. Census put the acad-emys population at 6,680 in 2014.

    The next-highest rated town in the region was bucolic Palmer Lake, popu-lation 2,112, which checked in with 146 counts or 6.9 percent.

    Colorado Springs wasnt far be-hind with 27,348 accounts among its 413,348 residents listed by Road-Snacks, or 6.6 percent.

    Monument rated 61st on the list with a population 695 accounts among a population of 18,806 people for 3.7 percent. Of course, the U.S. Census Bureau listed Monuments population at 6,391 in 2014. So it seems Road-Snacks is pulling in unincorporated areas like Woodmoor, Black Forest, Gleneagle and others.

    One of the most chaste commu-nities in the area is Larkspur, which ranked 132 on the list with just 99 accounts among its 4,843 residents, or

    just 2 percent.The community at the bottom of

    the list, coming in at 139, was West-cliffe with just 47 accounts among its 2,984 residents for 1.6 percent.

    The list, available at roadsnacks.net/cities-with-the-most-ashley-mad-ison-accounts, is kind of interesting.

    Heres a snapshot of some area towns.

    1. Air Force Academy, population 3,711, accounts 464, percent 12.5 percent

    6. Palmer Lake, population 2,112, 146 accounts, 6.9 percent

    8. Colorado Springs, population 413,348, 27,348 accounts, 6.6 percent

    Ever have that feeling that things or stuff dominate your life, encroach-ing on your relationships and filling you with empty activity calories? Meanwhile, all your meaningful time is compressed almost to the vanishing point?

    In moving to our new home, we sorted through years of accumulated stuff, things once necessary or stylish. We ruthlessly tackled our stuff an overflowing array of plentitude includ-ing household devices, specialized machines, books and toys, tools et al.

    We re-evaluated our belongings and their value, discarding some, hand-ing some off to our kids, all the while grumbling, mumbling, wondering and pondering: How much is enough?

    In setting up my home office, I happened upon a letter from my older brother, Skip, a deep thinker and gifted writer, lives in Minneapolis.

    Over the years, weve maintained

    a fairly regular correspondence and he has authored literally hundreds of old school handwritten letters. Ive saved these meaningful, artful and often-profound musings, thinking that someday, maybe, I can package them into some sort of family notebook, or maybe even get them published.

    This particular letter laid out Skips life concept of Enoughness. In neatly printed words and lines, he spoke in piercingly clear language and deli-ciously meaty reflections across the miles and years.

    Rereading his letter led me to long-delayed soul searching and re-evalua-tion of my values and priorities.

    Here it is: Enoughness Have it all Give your all Just do it Just live itKeep up Settle inMore is better Less is more Life on steroids Natural lifeFaster, quicker Speed kills Simple juxtapositions, yet vivid,

    thought-inducing words. Opposite ends of a choice continuum thats common to all but almost always submerged in lifes busyness and materialism.

    We all too readily tend to race to-ward ever newer, faster, bigger things. His wickedly clever wordplay jolts and confronts us with stark reality, forcing us to think about the core of who we are and how we live.

    Enoughness calls out for us to name and live our true, deep-seated values

    and principles. There is a difference between life

    rich, and money rich; and its to be found in that individually defined space of enoughness.

    Somewhere over the years, I came across I Wish You Enough by Bob Perks. His quiet words seamlessly con-nect with enoughness:

    I wish you enough to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain you. I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright. I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more. I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive. I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger. I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting. I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess. I wish you enough Hellos to get you through the final Good-bye.

    How much is enough?

    Old letter asks exactly how much is enough for one life?RETIREMENT YEARS Dave [email protected]

    For The Tribune Stan BecknerBlack Forest AARP/PR

    In observance of Febru-ary as heart month, the Black Forest AARP Chapter hosted a stroke and heart attack aware-ness program presented by Jim Rebiski, Black Forest Fire and Rescue assistant chief and paramedic.

    Rebiski identified distress symptoms and described how they differ in men and women, stressing that 47 percent of deaths in the U.S. are due to coronary disease, split evenly between men and women.

    Strokes result in 16 percent

    of the deaths in the U.S. and Rebiski discussed them and risk factors including poor eating habits, smoking, lack of exercise, high physical stress jobs or recreation activities, and family history.

    Rebiski noted that Black Forest Fire and Rescue is available do free house and property inspections, and pro-vides recommendations on how to mitigate fire potential and hazards. Residents can call Black Fire and Rescue at 495-4300 to schedule a free home and property inspec-tion.

    The meeting began with the usual potluck lunch and Kay

    Zvonkovich was recognized for her recent 93rd birthday. Kay has been an active mem-ber of the Black Forest Chapter for 29 years.

    Chapter President Chuck Karlstrum announced that the Black Forest AARP Chap-ter had logged 7,225 hours of community service in 2015, earning recognition from the AARP Western Region director.

    Information on AARP events can be found on the chapter web page: aarpchap-ter1100blackforest.weebly.com.

    For more information on the Black Forest chapter, call Chuck at 749-9227.

    One of my favorite old radio shows was Gunsmoke, and when it made the transition to television, that was even better.

    The radio series ran from 1952-61. The television series ran 20 years, 1955 to 1975, and it holds the record for the longest-running prime time, live-ac-tion drama with 635 episodes.

    Gunsmoke was set in Dodge City, Kan., during the thriving cattle days of the 1870s.

    Critics praised the show for its unprecedented realism. But watching them they are available on cable TV the one thing that never came out right was the scenery. The show was filmed in California, which bears little resemblance to Dodge City.

    And in the heart of town, we rarely saw trains. But in the real town, the

    Santa Fe takes up a big chunk of land. The other thing that often caught

    my attention was the mention of towns that were yet to be started!

    One of the towns sometimes men-tioned is Cripple Creek, which most of us know developed in the boom that followed Bob Womacks discovery of gold in October 1890. Thats some 15 or 20 years after Dodge City was the shows subject.

    Ive watched lots of western mov-ies that mentioned Cripple Creek, but in most of them, there was no clue to the real mining town. In fact, in many of the movies it is a cow town, with no mention of the mining.

    Strangely enough, a few silent movies were filmed around this area a century ago. A famous cowboy actor, Tom Mix, was even in a few.

    One of my favorites is The Great K&A Train Robbery, filmed partly in the Royal Gorge, and in Glenwood Canyon, too. It used Denver & Rio Grande trains for a big part of the ac-tion. It shows up in silent film histories when they talk about westerns.

    There was a film company in Denver that shot features on many of Colorados railroads, but all of the films seem to be lost. The material in

    the film base was quite flammable and deteriorated after time as well.

    Real films of Cripple Creek, Leadville, even Aspen were taken in their hay days, but seem to be long gone. One such film even featured a train passing through Palmer Lake. We only know that because these films were mentioned in the old newspa-pers.

    Some of these old films were shown on big outdoor screens in the areas where they were filmed. It must have been quite an event to go out in the evening and see a film on a screen hung between trees!

    There was no sound, but musicians sometimes played along. What a night out on a summer evening! Meanwhile, back in the dusty streets in Dodge City...

    Marshal Dillon sometimes spoke of Cripple Creek . . . before it existed!

    While the wrongful death suit has been dismissed, the criminal case of Dylans death, which was ruled a ho-

    micide last year, remains open. Mark Redwine was named a person of in-terest in the case last summer, though no arrests have been made and the La Plata Sheriffs Offi ce has named no of-fi cial suspects.

    MoratorimContinued from Page 1ning Director Larry Manning joined the town staff after the moratorium was enacted.

    Weve been working several months on this issue, Lowe said. We want to ensure this ordinance, when enacted, does the best job possible.

    The staff hired an attorney to ad-vise it on the best way to regulate clin-ics and recommend changes to zoning codes, as necessary.

    The moratorium was a response to public outrage at Colonials plan to dispense methadone to heroin addicts and abusers of opiate-based painkill-ers seven days a week in a residential neighborhood near a school, churches and a popular park.

    When Lowe arrived in October, he

    plunged into building the 2016 budget, rewriting water rates and immersed himself in a lawsuit Colonial fi led against Monument over the metha-done issue.

    Weve been looking into the attack on the town of Monument by CMG, Lowe told the board. Weve asked our attorney to come up with opinions and strategies we can offer the board. But we have not completed those analyses.

    Lowe said he and the staff planned to fi nalize the analysis of the options and present them to the trustees with recommendations before the new deadline of May 24.

    He said he plans to obtain public input on the preferred options before holding a formal public meeting before the board.

    FIRE MITIGATION

  • 10 The Tribune February 24, 2016www.trilakestribune.com

    We take over 80 billion snapshots a year with our cameras, phones and tablets in an attempt to cap-ture the moment. These moments might be from family vacations, hiking in our magnificent moun-tains, sporting events, wildlife, people or anything that catches our fancy.

    We download them into digital files on our com-puter, share them on Instagram, Facebook and other social media platforms, but we print less than 1 percent of these photos.

    Why dont we print more of our photos and dis-play them in our homes and offices like we do other art? Because, despite our fancy cameras, equipment and our best intentions and the latest Photoshop programs we arent fine art photographers.

    We didnt truly capture the moment. We dont naturally grasp the concepts of lighting, composi-

    tion, focal points and the same principles of design that make all art pleasing and to be enjoyed daily.

    Now we have a chance to see how its done. The best photographers in our area will be dis-

    playing photos they turned into fine art at the 7th annual Visions of Light show at the Tri-Lakes Center for the Arts in Palmer Lake.

    The Palmer Divide Photogra-phers is an organization dedicat-ed to the fine art of photography and they will show their work, judged by Mark Kirkland of Mark Kirkland Photography in Palmer Lake.

    Mark will judge the entries based on twelve elements have been defined as necessary for the success of an art piece or im-age. These elements include the emotional impact on the viewer and the technical excellence of the print. Creativity, style and composition will be judged as well as presentation, color bal-ance, lighting and the focal point of the piece. How well the pho-tograph fulfills the subject matter and how it tells a story are also important elements in judging the final product.

    Here you will see the very best in landscapes, architecture, people and nature photography, as well as abstracts which focus on line, color and form.

    This show is not to be missed! The show runs from March 4-25 with an opening reception on March 4 from 5:30-7:30 p.m.

    Framed originals as well as prints will be for sale. To see the caliber of fine art photography in this show visit http://www.blurb.com/books/6752841-visions-of-light to see the exhibit from 2015.

    In other area art news, Front Range Open Stu-dios is looking for professionals who would like to participate in this years tour in September. Applica-tions are being accepted until March 30. The details and an application form are on the website, www.frontrangeopenstudios.com.

    Turner also defeated Sandoval for the state title in 2014, when he scored a 5-3 decision at 120 pounds.

    This feels amazing, said Turner, who is being re-cruited by several colleges. Im happy and I feel like I finished off my career the right way.

    Turner was 44-2 this season. He went 4-0 at the state tournament. He advanced to the finals without hardly breaking a sweat. He scored a first-round pin of Tanner Eshleman of Silver Creek, a 13-1 decision over Dante Madril of Pueblo West, and he advanced to the finals with a first-round pin of Braydon Besse of Thompson Valley.

    I felt pretty fresh going to the finals, Turner said.Turners only losses this season were to 5A state

    champ Ryan Deakin (51-2) of Legacy.

    By winning his third state championship, Turner became the second Discovery Canyon wrestler to do so, joining AJ Rees (2011-2013). Turner also is the 100th wrestler in state history to win three state titles.

    Turner won his 2015 state title at 132 pounds.Turner was second-place in state as a freshman in

    2013 at 106 pounds, when his older brother Steve who now wrestles for the Air Force Academy won his state championship.

    With Sam Turner leading the way at state, Discov-ery Canyon finished 7th as a team with 82 points. Pueblo Easily won the 4A team title with 203.5 points.

    Placing for DCC Patrick Allis (106, 5th), Jaden Por-reco (113, 3rd) and Schyler James (182, 3rd).

    Other Thunder wrestlers at state were: Brendan Byrnes (120), Jared Turner (Sam Turners brother, 126), Patrick Hana (132), Jasper Biddy (145), Spencer McCrary (152), Ryan Weber (170) and Kendall Carter (220).

    The Classical Academy finished 20th. Ben Hinds (182) placed 3rd, while Sam Raphael (160) was 5th.

    Continued from Page 1Others asked if plans could be altered to preserve

    their views.Lots 19 and 20 will wipe out our views of the Air

    Force Academy and Pikes Peak, said Lois Minkus, who lives on Huntington Beach Drive and overlooks the area that once was the seventh tee. Our views will be blocked.

    Gratrix said he was sympathetic to the home-owners whose views would be impacted. He said his design team, including land planner Bill Guman of William Guman and Associates of Colorado Springs, had worked hard to protect as many neighbors as possible.

    This is about our eighth or ninth revision of our plan, Gratrix said. Wed like it to be our last. This is our best effort.

    Several neighbors remained frustrated and sad at the idea their coveted views would be lost.

    We purchased our home 25 years ago because of the view, Minkus said later. We looked at 53 houses before we bought this one. Were disappointed.

    But that doesnt mean she and her husband will abandon Gleneagle.

    Well never move, Minkus said. We love our

    neighborhood and our neighbors. They are like fam-ily. We care for each other.

    Neighbor Jim Yagmin bought his home on West-chester Drive three years ago because he had a view of the 16th tee and three fairways. If Gratrix wins county approval for his plan, Yagmins view will be-come houses.

    Its a nice view, he said. But it will be gone.The new plan calls for 15 more homes than origi-

    nally reported and many wondered why Dona-la Water and Sanitation District decided to give Gratrix more than the 41 taps originally approved.

    Gratrix explained that under existing zoning, he could build 47 townhomes. So nine extra taps is not significant, he said. And he noted his 56 taps would actually require less water than the total amount ap-proved for the original 47 townhomes.

    Guman said the concept plan presented to the neighbors was not the final drawing and still could be tweaked based on comments.

    And he said the team was blown away by the turnout at the meeting.

    Most people in attendance seemed to realize that what we are proposing is the best of the alternatives, Guman said. Infill projects like this one are always

    the most challenging for us. But were committed to working with the neighbors to ensure that the result-ing development will be compatible with the charac-ter and feel of the existing neighborhood.

    Gratrix said he hoped to file a request to re-zone the property to allow purely single-family residential development and pursue all the neces-sary county approvals beginning around April 1. He hoped to complete the process and begin selling lots to builders by the fall.

    Top-ranked L-P enters playoffs on 21-game winning streak

    By Danny [email protected]

    The Lewis-Palmer boys basketball

    team is exactly where it wants to be . . . ranked first in Class 4A and on a 21-game winning streak heading into the madness.

    Its exactly where everyone expected given the senior-laden, playoff-tested lineup that, oh, by the way, includes Jonathan Scott, a member of Monu-ments basketball royal family.

    Now the question is whether the team will finish where everyone hopes . . . in Boulder, cutting down the nets of the University of Colorados Coors Events Center, celebrating the teams latest state championship and toasting a dynasty.

    The Rangers, 22-1, havent lost since falling to Pueblo South, 63-59, on Dec.

    3 in the second game of the season.Last week, the Rangers polished

    off defending state champion Air Academy with relative ease, building a 29-point second-lead before settling for an 81-54 victory. L-P junior reserve guard/forward Billy Cook put the final exclamation point on the evening with a thunderous slam dunk in the final seconds.

    Coach always tells us we have each individual role to fulfill, Cook said. Some nights it may be dish it to the scorers to get points. Other nights it may be to bring energy off the bench.

    This team is very special. Were very close with each other, and thats where it all starts. We push each other every day and thats how we get better as a team.

    Dating back to last season, Lewis-Palmer has won 38 of its last 42 games. Two of those losses came last season to Air Academy once in the Final Four.

    Bill Benton is in his fourth season as Lewis-Palmers head coach. He served as an assistant starting in 2008. During his tenure with the program, the Rang-ers advanced to six state Final Fours in seven seasons. They won state cham-pionships in 2012 and 2013.

    But as successful as the Rangers have been this season, and over the years, to a player and coach, nobody donning Lewis-Palmer black, orange and white is even talking about a sev-enth Final Four. They are focused on their first-round state playoff game on Feb. 26.

    Defense wins championships, said senior guard Jonathan Scott, who has lived up to preseason hype by leading the team in scoring with more than 17 points per game. If we play hard on defense and have the perfect effort then we will come out on top.

    Take one game at a time. Thats what our coach always stresses and thats what were going to do.

    The Rangers rely heavily on their starting five, all seniors. In addition to Scott, there is Joe DeCoud, Kyle Owens Charlie Hovasse and Sam Strasburger.

    Our focus is always defense, Strasburger said. Weve tightened up a lot of things on the defensive end. Its always our focus to limit teams to 50 points per game.

    Lewis-Palmer could have a playoff date down the road with Valor Chris-

    tian, the team it defeated for the 2013 state title. Valor Christian rolls into the state playoffs with a 22-1 record.

    In case you missed it, one of Valor Christians starting forwards is junior Dylan McCaffrey, who recently com-mitted to play football at the Universi-ty of Michigan. His brother is Stanford running back Christian McCaffrey.

    L-P and Valor have four common opponents: Liberty, Air Academy, Pueblo Central and Cheyenne Moun-tain. L-P is 6-0 against those teams, while Valor is 4-0.

    If things play out the way Lewis-Palmer hopes, with home court advan-tage, the Rangers wont leave the town of Monument until March 11, the day of the Final Four in Boulder.

    Thats the plan, Benton said. Thats why weve tried to put our-selves in this position.

    Good, Clean Advice: Wash Your Car More In WinterRemember that the most damaging thing you can do to your car during the harsh winter weather is nothing! Washing the salt, slush and mud off your car in cold weather is essential in safeguarding your vehicle from corrosion. Also, the chemicals used on roads can easily damage the flooring in your garage. Because concrete has pores, these chemicals can penetrate over time. Dont be afraid to wash your vehicle every few days if youve been driving on treated roads.

    FROM THE SIDELINES Danny [email protected]

    The Lewis-Palmer High School boys basketball team enters the Class 4A state playoffs with a 22-1 record. Head coach Bill Benton, gray suit, has been with the program since 2008

  • 14 The Tribune February 24, 2016www.trilakestribune.com

    Continued from Page 1 at Palmer Ridge. A statistics guru, he has been a team manager for the basketball teams since his freshman year.

    Mayer wanted to honor the hard-working Ben-naim, so he had him suit up with the rest of the team on Senior Night.

    It felt good to be on the bench with the rest of the guys, Bennaim said. But it felt great to get in the game and score.

    Before the game, Mayer approached Sand Creek coach Mark Bowers and informed him of his plans to play his hard-working manager.

    I told him if the game was lopsided, I might try to put Yariv in the last minute, Mayer said. If I was able to get Yariv in the game, I didnt want any special fa-vors.

    Sand Creek showed great character. I am very ap-preciative.

    Upon seeing Bennaim enter the game, Bowers called a timeout and huddled his players. But his play-ers took it upon themselves to script the fi nal minute.

    And there would be no gift buckets.They decided how everything was going to go

    down, Bowers said. We werent going to part the Red Sea. We were going to make sure he earned it.

    Afterward, the opposing coach recognized his team had shared in a special moment.

    We were glad to be part of it, Bowers said.In addition to Phillips, who scored a game-high 27

    points, the other Sand Creek players on the fl oor were DShawn Schwartz (the 42nd ranked junior in Ameri-ca according to ESPN), Devon Young, Kamal Freeman and Bryce Petersen.

    Even though Palmer Ridge lost, there were tears of joy throughout the Palmer Ridge gymnasium.

    The Bears student cheering section, called the Ridge Rage, had dressed in nice shirts, ties, jackets and slacks to honor their classmate. And they held up signs cheering him on.

    They let out a thundering cheer when Bennaim entered the game. The thunder was even louder after each of his buckets.

    Yariv has already made a name for himself here,

    and being such the kind person he is, every person here knows the name Yariv and knows that hes just the greatest guy around, said fellow senior Ben Fa-ber, who heads up the Ridge Rage and is best friends with Bennaim.

    It came to the point as the game progressed we were cheering for Yariv to go in. The moment Yariv came in, we knew it would be the greatest thing weve ever seen. To see him score four points in a minute was probably the proudest moment of my life.

    Bennaims mother, Ilanit, had tears of happiness seeing her son play.

    This has been such a wonderful opportunity for him to share in what hes passionate about, Ila-nit said. He loves watching sports. He loves playing sports. He loves numbers. Anything to do with num-bers and statistics and dates, he just has a phenom-enal knack for history and numbers.

    According to Ilanit, her son is a high functioning autistic savant with super human memory capabili-ties and visual photographic memory skills.

    She believes his memory and love of sports and statistics will shape his fu-ture as an adult.

    He will undoubtedly benefi t any company ... not only for what he can do for their organization, if given a chance, but from the human spirit venue, she said. He ra-diates humor, happiness and shows that people with disabilities can do anything. What a great image he can add to any company.

    Yariv participates in Special Olympics in a va-riety of sports. He aver-ages about 34 points per game for the Sharks.

    Bennaim played for Palmer Ridges junior var-sity soccer team last sea-son and was also a mem-ber of the cross country team. He plans on run-ning track this spring.

    Teacher Spotlight: Hilary Penner

    Hilary Penner, Lewis-Palmer Middle School science teacher, grew up in Lewis-Palmer schools and graduated from Lewis-Palmer High School. Last year, she demonstrated her appreciation of her LP experience by writing a letter of recommendation for her fifth grade teacher Barb Elliott for the 2015 LPSD Hall of Fame. (Mrs. Elliott was inducted into the Hall of Fame last September.) After graduating from LPHS, Hilary traded in the mountains for the sea and earned her degree in marine biology which she taught while furthering her education and working as a sea turtle biologist. Hilary spent lots of time following tracks in the sand, marking and protecting sea turtle nests on the beaches of Florida, in addition to educating the public about sea turtles.

    Mrs. Penners favorite pastime is scuba diving, and her favorite locations are Curacao, Isla Mujeres, and the Grand Caymans. She spends some of her underwater time doing fish surveys, counting tiny fish which she actively searches out because they hide under overhanging rocks. The data that she and other scuba divers collect goes to a non-profit organization which tracks the health of our oceans by following some of its smaller inhabitants. Hilary also volunteered at the Oregon Coast Aquarium where the killer whale from Free Willy resided.

    Now that she is back in Colorado, she enjoys cooking and planning her next scuba adventure. These trips include the entire family. Now, her sixth grade daughter is a certified scuba diver. Hilary appreciates the support of her LPMS team mates as they work together developing techniques

    which break the science is hard barrier. Hilary uses hands-on activities making science relevant for her students.

    When asked if she preferred working with the large ocean inhabitants such as the killer whales or the teeny tiny fish, she responded, I like everything in the ocean, including me.

    Basketball Team Builds Relationships

    Third graders dont often get visits at school from varsity basketball players, yet this is exactly what happened to Ashley Moffett. Charlie Hovasse and Kyle Owens delivered a balloon and a bear to Ashley at Kilmer Elementary in January after she broke her leg while skiing. Ashley named the bear Kylie in honor of Kyle and Charlie. An avid reader and athlete (she enjoys volleyball, basketball, and cross country running), Ashley participated in the Lewis-Palmer High School youth basketball camp the past two summers where she and her sisters, Olivia and Emily, got to know the basketball team. Ashleys mom relates that not only do these young men play basketball extremely well, but they are also classy, stand-up kids. Team members remember the Moffett girls names and say hello whenever they run into them around town. In appreciation of the goodwill shown to the Moffetts, the family brought cupcakes to the basketball team at a recent game. Ashleys brothers (LPHS 2015 graduates) claim that she is more popular at LPHS than they were.
