Roundabout to be built in location of Gleneagle Drive, Struthers Road Roundabout won over tra� c signals By Danny Summers [email protected]

Motorists that have approached the three-way stop at the corner of Glenea-gle Drive and Struthers Road are all too aware of the chaos that can sometimes ensue.

A bright morning sun can lead to a plethora of problems. That same blind-ing afternoon sun sometimes makes things even worse.

But if all goes according to plan, a roundabout will be built in the location by the spring or summer of 2015.

“We did a study and what the study recommended is a roundabout,” said El Paso County engineer Andre Brackin. “A signal would not make sense there. Plus it would be too costly.”

Brackin and his team have been monitoring the intersection for years. In early 2011, the Board of County Com-missioners voted to approve a profes-sional service contract to Wilson and

Company for Civil and Traffi c Engineer Planning and Design Services. The traf-fi c study examined possible ways in which to make the intersection safer.

“We did the study because we need-ed to fi gure out a way to make that inter-section safer,” Brackin said. “Ultimately this is all about safety.”

There is an all-way stop sign located at the intersection. Brackin said there have been several accidents over the years caused by motorists running the stop signs.

The county added fl ashing beacons atop the stop signs in 2010.

Brackin said that it is not uncommon for motorists to use Struthers as an arte-rial for Monument, and at times a front-age road for Interstate 25. Many times, when the interstate is closed between Northgate Boulevard and Baptist Road, motorists use Struthers, which creates heavy traffi c.

The traffi c in the area is expected to get even heavier with the future inter-change of Powers Boulevard and I-25 near North Gate.

According to Brackin, an outside consultant group will design the round-about. It will be two lanes on each side.

“At some point the County Commis-

sioners will weigh in on the issue again,” Brackin said. “If they okay it we will go ahead and hopefully have this complet-ed by the second or third quarter of next year.”

Brackin added that funding for the project is the biggest factor slow-ing the completion of the roundabout. He estimated that it should cost under $200,000. That fi gure includes the de-sign of the roundabout, a site survey, construction, and the purchase of some land west of Struthers.

“There are some other things that would need to be done along the way; some grading issues and some drainage issues,” Brackin said. “The total cost of the project could be $125,000 on the low end and $200,000 on the high end.”

The roundabout idea won out over a traffi c signal for a couple of reasons.

“The roundabout will keep traffi c fl owing at a steady pace,” Brackin said. “A traffi c signal in that area would prob-ably cost at least $250,000. “We just put one in at the Constitution and Powers and it cost $240,000 to $250,000.”

Last fall, three roundabouts were constructed on North Gate, south of Struthers. Funding for that came from the I-25 expansion project.

Tri-Lakes mayors weigh in on pot vote Marijuana measure lost by a 3 to 1 margin in Larkspur

By Danny Summers [email protected]

On April 8, residents of the Town of Larkspur voted against allowing recre-ational marijuana facilities in the town. A week earlier, a similar measure fell in Palm-er Lake.

As far as new Monument mayor Rafael Dominguez is concerned that is great news.

“After noting the results of the defeat of ballot measures associated with the ques-tion of recreational marijuana sales, it is clear the region is against it,” Dominguez

said.“Despite the prospect of sales tax rev-

enues from the sale of marijuana, the people voted in favor of public safety and maintaining the quality of life in their com-munities.”

Dominguez has been strong on his stance against the sales of recreational marijuana.

The Larkspur vote was defeated 3 to 1. The ordinance would have allowed for a minimum of three recreational pot shops as well as a number of grow facilities on the north end of town.

Another ballot question asked residents whether they were in favor of an excise tax of 5 percent. It would have given residents a share of the profi ts from the facilities. It also lost by a 3 to 1 margin.

The Palmer Lake vote lost 538 to 481 on April 1.

Palmer Lake mayor Nikki McDonald was open to the prospect of having a recre-ational marijuana shop in town so that the town could collect profi ts from sales. She

said she was not surprised by the Larkspur vote.

“I had been hearing that most of the citi-zens that could actually vote were not in fa-vor of it,” McDonald said. “Especially when it was for three stores.

“Our ordinance, if it had passed, only al-lowed for one store. We used Manitou’s or-dinance as a guide. They allowed two shops for 5,000 residents. Palmer Lake’s commit-tee thought that was a great way to do it. Since our population is almost 2,500 they wrote it for one for every 2,500 people.”

McDonald added that as far she knows the Town Council will uphold the citizens’ vote.

“To do another vote will have to be done by a citizens’ referendum and not by the Council,” she said.

Health fair comes to Tri-Lakes Area in May Sta� report

Once again the Tri-Lakes area will host

a health fair. As with the 2013 health fair, this year’s fair is being organized and run by students of the UCCS Beth-El School of Nursing and Health Sciences.

The Fair will be Saturday, May 3, from 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. A variety of free and low cost health screenings, tests, and con-sultations will be available.

Past year’s fairs have included hear-ing and eye tests, skin cancer screenings, cholesterol tests, immunizations, blood pressure screenings, and a wide variety of health- related vendors. This year’s offer-ings are still in the deveolpment stage be-cause the event is a fi nal course project for the senior class of student nurses to com-

plete immediately prior to their May grad-uation from UCCS. The students arrange

all the details for the fair, obtain the health services to be provided, solicit ven-dors and sponsors, arrange for publicity and run the actual event. As in all past Tri-Lakes health fairs, this event is presented by Tri-Lakes Health Advocacy Partnership in

conjunction with the Tri- Lakes Cham-ber of Commerce and UCCS.

As the planning for the fair proceeds, details on specifi c offerings at the fair will be updated on the HAP website at www.TriLakesHAP.org/HealthFair.

Information for potential vendors and sponsors is also available at that same lo-cation or by calling HAP at 719 464-6873.

THINGS TO DOContinued from Page 2

Coal county in these partsI have done columns about the area

around us that was at one time the center of coal mining activity.

Franceville was named for Matt France, an early Colorado Springs man. Not far away was McFerran, named for Judge J.H.B. McFerran, who at first farmed that area before learning of the coal. It was the building of the railroads here that really got this area going.

In the 1870s the coal all around this area was found to be in a huge crescent starting near Garden of the Gods, almost all the way to Fountain. When the Denver and New Orleans railroad was building south from Falcon in 1879, they built a branch line to the Franceville mines, and later to McFerran.

The little town of Franceville is long gone, but in 1890 it boasted more people than Monument. The area produced about 500 tons of coal every day, about half of that used in the local markets. The smaller McFerran operation was purchased from the judge, by eastern interests. Most of their coal was used by the railroads, or shipped east. The little towns almost all the way to Omaha could buy the coal mined in McFerran. The little community rivaled that of Franceville. It had houses, hotels a company store and even a school.

Franceville was an interesting commu-nity. The last time I was able to visit, I had a guide who had lived there as a child. He knew the location of the old stores and we found the remains of the old school house. They had around 30 or 40 houses for the miners, generally a “company town” and typical of many of the coal camps. That

community consisted of about 25 houses, a general store, and a boarding house for single miners, even a hotel for visitors, as well as a school.

The remains of McFerran were removed many years ago, but the rubble from the old mines at McFerran was visible not far off Colorado 94 as late as 2000. The Rock Island railroad was being built from Falcon into Colorado Springs in the mid 1890s when they learned about the coal mines. They built a line from a place called Els-mere into McFerran. After World War I, this line was removed. In the early 1940s it was rebuilt with a new destination, Peterson Air Force Base. These tracks were used during WWII to access the base. The base, used for training during the war saw hundreds of train loads of men coming in on the Rock Island. The base became active again dur-ing the Korean War. The area between U.S. 24, Colorado 94 and Marksheffel Road was a big railroad center called Manitou Junc-tion up to a hundred years ago!

Coal was mined near Franceville as late as the 1970s. McFerran pretty well was done by the 1930s. Oh, Elsmere is now called Cimmaron Hills.

Jackie Robinson and baseball’s color barrierApril 15 was Jackie Robinson Day

across Major League Baseball.Players on all 30 teams wore No. 42 on

their jerseys in honor of Robinson.Robinson’s importance to baseball is

significant on a number of fronts. He was the first black player to appear in a major league game in the 20th century. He fought the odds while playing at a very high level and helping the Brooklyn Dodgers to six World Series in his 10 years with the team.

Now here’s the rest of the story.Robinson probably was not the best

player in the Negro Leagues. Other Negro League stars like Josh Gibson and Satchel Paige were past their prime.

But Dodgers general manager Branch Rickey believed Robinson was the right player for a variety of reasons. The former UCLA multi-sport star (he also played football, basketball and ran track for the Bruins) was educated, married and raised in an environment in southern California that was a melting pot for people of all races and color.

Rickey selected Robinson from a list of promising black players. Rickey was especially interested in making sure his eventual signee could withstand the inevi-table racial abuse that would be directed at him.

In a famous three-hour meeting on

Aug. 28, 1945, Rickey asked Robinson if he could face the racial animus with-out taking the bait and reacting angrily. Robinson was beside himself. He said “Are you looking for a Negro who is afraid to fight back.” Rickey replied that he needed a Negro player “with guts enough not to fight back.”

Robinson gave the commitment to Rickey that he would “turn the other cheek” to racial antagonism. On Oct. 23, 1945, Rickey signed Robinson to a contract for $600 a month and assigned to play for Triple-A Montreal in the International League for the 1946 season.

In the fall of 1946, following the base-ball season, Robinson returned home to southern California (he was raised in Pasadena) and briefly played professional basketball for the short-lived Los Angeles Red Devils.

The Dodgers signed Robinson to a major league contract just five days before the start of the 1947 season. Baseball people, especially those in Brooklyn, were still digesting the previous day’s news of manager Leo Durocher’s one-year suspen-

sion (for conduct detrimental to baseball), when the story broke of Robinson’s pro-motion from the Montreal Royals.

Martha Maxwell and womans’ work“Historians relate not so much what is

done as what they would have believed.” — Ben Franklin, 1743

I was reminded recently that one must be careful in considering history. It often depends on who wrote it. Traditionally dominated by white men in the winner’s circle, their fantastic adventures, war sto-ries and “important” achievements take on nuances that cast their kind in favor-able or at least forgiving, light.

Their kind is my kind. Maybe that explains my predisposition to consume and my historic inclinations. But, in the interest of equal time, or at least a feeble attempt to acknowledge others might have had a role in what came before, I discuss today, one of my young daughter’s heroes.

Martha Maxwell, a self-educated natu-

ralist and artist, first came to Colorado during Pikes Peak Gold Rush in 1860 with her husband, a Pennsylvanian coal miner. Reportedly, her childhood affinity for animals developed into a taxidermy hobby and eventually an all-consuming nature study .

“In an effort to preserve a record Colo-rado’s wildlife, Maxwell created dynamic

displays of wild animals.” notes Women of the West Museum. “ She single-handedly mounted and arranged them in detailed realistic habitats. In 1876, she exhibited one such diorama at the Philadelphia Centennial under the title ‘Women’s Work.’” Maxwell dedicated her life to taxidermy and considered it “as a fine art, subservi-ent to science.”

According to Bios In History, Maxwell was the first woman to collect and prepare her own skins and mounts. “She spent nearly eight continuous years in the field in the Rocky Mountains, documenting the presence of species previously not known to live here.”

Much of her camping and hunting for unique animals took place in the moun-tains around Boulder and many of her

diorama display techniques are still used in museums today.

For these notable contributions, the respected ornithologist Robert Ridgeway named a new variety of screech owl (some accounts say she discovered the first one) Scops asio maxwelliae or Mrs. Maxwell’s owl after her. She is the first woman to have a subspecies named after her.

“To a naturalist, intent upon know-ing the secrets of the natural world, the capture of the smallest bud or insect gives as much pleasure as to have outwitted and slain the fiercest grizzly in the mountains or the largest buffalo on the plains,” wrote Maxwell in 1878.

That is different historic perspective than I’m used to. As I said, we must con-sider who has been writing all the history.

We think of Robinson as a second base-man, but he actually played fi rst base his fi rst season with the Dodgers. He manned the base on April 15 when the Dodgers hosted the Boston Braves at Ebbets Field.

Rumors of a sellout may have discour-aged some fans from attending, but what-ever the reason, a crowd of only 26,623 saw Robinson’s debut. Robinson was 0 for 3 and scored a run in the game.

According to reports, there was hardly a mention of his debut in the papers the next day. Likewise, Dodgers radio an-nouncers Red Barber and Connie Des-mond didn’t make much mention of the historic nature of Robinson’s appearance on a major league fi eld.

As the season went along, however, more and more people took notice of Robinson’s play and the exemplary way he carried himself on and off the fi eld.

On May 9, a strike threatened by the St. Louis Cardinals was abruptly stopped by National League President Ford Frick who stated “...The National League will go down the line with Robinson, whatever the consequence.”

On July 5, the Cleveland Indians an-nounced the signing of 22-year old out-fi elder, Larry Doby of the Negro Leagues’ Newark Eagles. He became the American League’s fi rst black player and second overall behind Robinson.

On Aug. 27, the Dodgers brought up their second black player, 27-year old Dan Bankhead; a strikeout pitcher from the Memphis Red Sox.

On Sept. 23, with permission from the Dodgers, Robinson admirers staged a “Jackie Robinson Day” for him at Ebbets Field where he and his wife Rachel were presented with a new Cadillac. Robinson was also presented with an interracial goodwill plaque from Jack Semel, a season box holder and supporter. Bill “Bojangles” Robinson, a great entertainer, presented Jackie with an inscribed gold wristwatch from Tiffany’s, which he cherished and always wore. The Robinson’s also received a television and cash gifts that day.

In October, Robinson was voted the

fi rst-ever major league Rookie of the Year. Robinson also fi nished fi fth in the National League’s Most Valuable Player voting.

Most people in 1947 - and even today - were unaware that Robinson was not the fi rst black player in the major leagues. That distinction goes to Moses “Fleetwood” Walker.

In 1883, Walker began his professional career with Toledo in the Northwestern League. A more than average hitter, Walker was among baseball’s fi nest catchers almost from the beginning of his career. When the Toledo club joined the Ameri-can Association in 1884, Walker became the fi rst black player to play with a major league franchise.

In 1886, Walker was in the minor leagues with other black stars John W. “Bud” Fowler, George Stovey and Frank Grant. Doubtless, many other black players were playing with teams in the “outlaw” leagues and independent barn-storming clubs. At least in the North and Midwest the best black players found a measure of tolerance, if not acceptance, in white baseball until the end of the 1880s. But in 1890 this situation abruptly changed.

As the season of 1890 began there were no black players in the International League; the most prestigious of the minor league circuits. Without making a formal announcement, a gentlemen’s agreement had been made which would bar black players from participation for the next 55 years.

Though black players continued to fi nd work in lesser leagues for a time, within only a few short years no team in orga-nized baseball would accept black players. By the turn of the century the color barrier was fi rmly in place.

As for Robinson, he played 10 marvel-ous seasons for the Dodgers, helping them to a World Series title over the New York Yankees in 1955. Robinson was traded to the New York Giants for pitcher Dick Little-fi eld and reported $35,000 in December 1956. A month later he retired, nullifying the trade.

He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1962. He died in 1972 at the age of 53 from a heart attack.


Summers

Busy time with summer recruiting season With just a few weeks left in this school

year, our school staff members and students are very busy with events, fi nal projects, testing and a variety of activities. It’s also a very busy time of year for our hu-man resources department as it gears up to replace retirees and think about the sum-mer recruiting season for new teachers.

I recently sent a memo to our staff members conveying my optimism about the state’s budget situation for funding K-12 education. Because of the mea-sured recovery of the state and national economy, our district is in a position to be competitive in the regional and state market to attract and retain the best teachers. We are not considering any program cuts or reductions in services. Our district’s enrollment continues to grow and we will make every effort to meet the needs of all of our students. Even during very lean budget years, we did not have to employ the strategies taken by other local school districts. Those measures included furlough days, salary cuts and reductions

that resulted in increased class size. Our community supported a mill levy override six years ago that assisted us through those very diffi cult years and we remain grateful for that support.

InitiativesOne of my initiatives for this school

year is to continue to address the achieve-ment gap among students in our district. Our learning services department is implementing several strategies to assist teachers. Among those strategies is identi-

fying teachers who are especially adept at differentiated instruction. Several teachers who are using the best principles of dif-ferentiated instruction have been identi-fi ed. Our 20TV broadcasting team will be fi lming those teachers during the next two months to create a video that will be used this summer to help develop differentiated instruction skills in more teachers.

Another initiative this year is our effort to use personal computing devices in our classrooms. Fifth-grade students at Moun-tain View Elementary, students at Chal-lenger Middle School, and students at Pine Creek High School have been involved in this pilot year. For 2014-15, a cohort of teachers at Pine Creek has been expanded. All teachers who have students involved in the 1:1 personal computing device initia-tive will receive an iPad next school year to begin their professional development in using the devices for effective academic achievement.

Our research and design team is charged with visiting top-performing

districts around the country to learn from them and share ideas and recommenda-tions with our district educators. This team will be visiting schools in the Boston area at the end of April.

End-of-year celebrationsOur high schools are working to rein-

force messages to our students to be safe during the upcoming prom and gradu-ation season. Parents and community members can reinforce these efforts by reminding young people to make good choices to keep their friends and them-selves safe. We all want to see our students succeed and thrive.

7 Things You Must Know Before Putting Your Home Up for SaleTri-Lakes – A new report has just been released which reveals 7 costly mis-takes that most homeowners make when selling their home, and a 9 Step System that can help you sell your home fast and for the most amount of money.

This industry report shows clearly how the traditional ways of selling homes have become increasingly less and less effective in today’s mar-ket. The fact of the matter is that fully three quarters of home sellers don’t get what they want for their homes and become disillusioned and – worse – financially disadvantaged when the put their homes on the market.

As the report uncovers, most home

sellers make 7 deadly mistakes that

cost them literally thousands of dol-

lars. The good news is that each and

every one of these mistakes is entirely

preventable. In answer to this issue,

industry insiders have prepared a free

special report entitled “The 9 Step Sys-

tem to Get Your Home Sold Fast and

For Top Dollar”.

Tri-Lakeslife8 The Tribune April 16, 2014

During a special presentation the history of the Palmer Lake star is toldBy Lisa CollacottContributing writer

Even during the country’s times of tribulation the Palmer Lake Star has continued to shine brightly. Through wars, economic hardships and terrorist attacks the star has been a symbol of hope and perse-verance to the Tri-Lakes commu-nity.

On April 8 Tri-Lakes residents packed the Palmer Lake town hall to learn the 78-year-old story of the star, which sits on Sundance Moun-tain, and the names of those that made it happen. Some folks already knew much of the history but others were hearing it for the first time.

Presented by the Palmer Lake Historical Society the special pre-sentation was given by Jack Antho-ny, who worked tirelessly to get the star on the Colorado State Register of Historic Places.

“Sundance Mountain by itself re-ally doesn’t tell a story. But there’s a hidden story in it,” Anthony said.

The star was originally called the Star of Bethlehem and was birthed in 1935. B.E. Jack, the regional man-ager of Mountain Utilities, came up with the idea for a star on the moun-tain that would shine throughout the Christmas season. Jack shared

his idea with Bert Sloan, owner of Sloan’s Cafe. The two men, along with others, began meeting at the café. Sloan’s Café is known as the birth place of the star.

In his presentation Anthony said that the star was a, “symbol of deter-mination during a time when some-body needed to step up and say we’ve got courage. We’re going to get through this little pesky thing called the Depression.”

The land on Sundance Moun-tain was donated by Arthur and Reba Bradley. The land was eventu-ally deeded to the town of Palmer Lake. Local surveyor Byron Medlock designed the five-point star while Mountain Utilities lineman Rich-ard Wolf and C.E. Radar helped with the electrical wiring. Jesse Krueger, Floyd Bellinger, Gilbert Wolf, George Sill and other Palmer Lake residents helped in the construction of the star.

Krueger’s sons Harry, Orville and Kenny were tasked with replacing

burned out bulbs for many years. Mountain Utilities donated poles and electrical cables for the star and the town contributed $140. Sloan’s dog Dizzy even pitched in by haul-ing supplies up the mountain.

In 1976 Harry Krueger and Col. Carl Frederick Duffner came up with the idea to update the star’s wooden posts to steel posts and update the wiring as a bicentennial project. An-other update was done in 2002 to replace more posts, bring the wir-ing up to code and it was wired so that the star could be turned on by a remote control. This project was spearheaded by Todd Bell, a Palmer Lake Volunteer firefighter.

When Anthony was preparing the nomination for the Colorado State Register he needed additional information about the star and re-ceived it from surveyor Tim Wag-ner. Anthony said the registry board wanted to know details such as how many acres the star sat on, how many light bulbs there were, the dimensions of the star and many more specifics.

“Tim saved me. When I got up there they (the committee) had their questions ready and by golly because of Tim Wagner I was bullet proof,” Anthony said, adding that Wagner is a hero of the star.

The five-point star sits on 14 acres of a 58 percent slope of Sundance Mountain. The star has an elevation difference of 252 feet. The star has 91, 40 watt five-filament bulbs. It stands 404.8 feet tall, 457.3 feet wide and 434.3 feet on the diagonal of the star. It is the largest out-door illuminated star in the world. There is an initiative at Palmer Lake Elementary School to change all the bulbs to LED bulbs.

days after the History Colorado committee voted unanimously to approve the star for the state registry.

Another fact that Anthony shared with those in attendance was about the wild fi re that threatened the mountain and star in 1985. The fi re on Sundance Mountain but was quickly put out before it got out of control.

“Our mountain and the star has been tested by time and fi re. It symbolizes a shining holiday spirit in Palmer Lake,” An-thony said.

Every year the fi re department in Palm-er Lake hosts a chili supper after Thanks-giving to light the star and usher in the holiday season. The star is also lit on the Fourth of July. Last summer the star re-mained lit for 20 days in honor of the 20 Granite Mountain Hotshots who lost 19 fi refi ghters during a wild fi re. The volun-teer fi re department has been the keeper of the star since 1937.

Felony DUI bill advancing House expects to pass repeat drunken-driving crackdown bill

By Vic Vela [email protected]

A bill that would create a felony DUI in Colorado is gaining momentum at the Capitol.

The House on April 10 gave initial ap-proval to legislation that would require prison time for drunken drivers who rack up their third DUI in a seven year period, or for their fourth total.

The bill would create a class 4 felony for such offenses, which carries with it a pos-sible prison term of 2 to 6 years. Colorado is one of only a handful of states that does not have a felony DUI law.

The bill sponsor, Rep. Mark Waller, R-Colorado Springs, has been trying for the last few years to pass this type of legisla-tion. However, his efforts have hit stum-bling blocks, primarily due to the incarcer-ation costs that come with the bill.

“It does cost money to engage in the protection of the individuals of the state of Colorado,” Waller said.

This year’s effort carries a hefty price tag as well. Last week, the House Appropria-tions Committee approved $2.9 million in general fund dollars for the bill to a part of next year’s budget.

The cost to the state will increase sub-stantially over the next few years. The cost will rise to at least $15 million and then at least $26.8 million in subsequent fi scal years, according to an analysis by the Leg-islative Council.

Rep. Dan Pabon, D-Denver, thanked

those who worked “so hard to fi nd this money.”

“This is an expensive bill,” Pabon said. “This is an expensive cost to incarcerate this many offenders. And this money isn’t just found.”

Helping the legislation move forward was a compromise on treatment options that came out of a recent House Judiciary Committee hearing.

The compromise came about from growing concern over the bill not focusing enough on helping alcoholics and drug ad-dicts receive treatment.

The amended version of the bill re-quires that courts consider “all reasonable and appropriate alternative sentences” be-fore prison time becomes an option,” the bill’s fi scal note states.

Pabon said the “exhaustion of remedies” portion of the bill will ensure courts do ev-

erything they can “to put these people on the path to recovery before prison.”

The House gave initial approval of the bill following an unrecorded voice vote on April 10. The bill was scheduled for a fi nal vote on April 14, and was expected to ad-vance to the Senate with large bipartisan support.

Although it has momentum, it is not a foregone conclusion that the bill will be-come law. Last year, the bill passed the House, but never received a vote in the full Senate.

But there are lawmakers on both sides of the aisle who want to see the measure become a reality.

“This is a very serious offense,” said Rep. Beth McCann, D-Aurora. “We’ve talked about the fact that people need treatment and they get treatment, but it still doesn’t keep them from driving.”

Staff report

Cadet Samantha Reid, daughter of Jean Ann Reid of Colo-rado Springs, Colorado and John E. Reid, of Black Forest, Col-orado and stepdaughter of Jill Donahue Reid of Black Forest, Colo., helped the Army Black Knights clinch the “Star” Meet to snap an 11-meet skid against their service academy rivals, last winning an outdoor meet in the Series back in 2008. Army entered the final event, the 4 by 400 relay, with a 98.5-96.5 lead, which allowed Navy an opportunity to tie with a win in the event. In the anchor leg, Reid made up Army’s deficit by being able to overtake her competitor during the final leg and seal the Black Knight’s victory to capture a 103.5-99.5 victory for Army.

The native of Colorado Springs and 2010 graduate of The Classical Academy, added to her strong performance with a win in the 100-meter dash and a runner-up photo finish in the 200-meter dash as well as 2nd place in the 4 by 100 relay. Reid’s 200-meter dash time of 25.80 marked the fastest by an Army runner this season.

Reid was honored as Army Athletic Association Athlete Of The Week on Monday, April 7, 2014 following her strong over-all performances in a win over arch-rival Navy on Saturday, April 5th, 2014. Cadet Reid, class of 2015, is a junior major-ing in defense and strategic studies and hopes to branch into field artillery. Reid will begin her “firistie” (senior) year this summer participating in Cadet Leadership Detail Training at Camp Buckner and completing Air Assault training as well as taking an Advanced Individual Academic Development course which in turn will take her to France having studied the Battles of World War I involving France.

Apodacas honored at AARP meetingFor the Tribune

The highlight of the April 9 Black Forest AARP meet-ing occurred when Chapter President Chuck Karlstrum and Vice President Waldo Pendleton presented Les and Diana Apodaca with a 2014 National AARP Chapter and REA Community Service Award. The Apodacas were hon-ored for their exceptionally outstanding service to the Black Forest Chapter and the community. A letter and ci-tation, from the AARP national president, cited their ex-emplary service for the betterment of the community. The Apodacas were also presented with distinctive lapel pins that they can wear with pride.

Nicole Noll Volunteer Coordinator for the Ronald Mc-Donald House Charities of Southern Colorado presented the program during the chapter meeting. Noll discussed some of the charitable endeavors of the Ronald McDonald House that assist families of children undergoing hospital care. She also voiced the continuing need for volunteers with a large variety of facility maintenance and adminis-trative skills. Individuals interested in community service by volunteering at Ronald McDonald House can contact Nichole at 719-471-1814.

Assistant Chief Jim Rebitski assisted by several para-medic members of the Black Forest Fire and Rescue, pre-sented an overview of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

procedures and the use of an Automated External Defibril-lator before the regularly scheduled April 9 meeting. The presentation, sponsored by the Black Forest AARP Chap-ter, was free and open to the public. Twelve chapter mem-bers and nonmembers attended.

Chest Compression CPR is a procedure designed to keep heart, lungs and brain active in a person suffering from cardiac arrest (when the heart stops beating) un-til medical assistance arrives. Cardiac arrest is a medical emergency that, in certain situations, is potentially revers-ible if treated very quickly. The instruction described how to identify a person in cardiac arrest and what the immedi-ate actions are that must take place including CPR and the use of an AED.

An AED is a simple portable electronic device that is becoming increasingly common in public buildings. An AED automatically diagnoses the life threatening irregu-lar heartbeat in a patient and provides simple audio and visual commands so that a layperson is able to provide treatment that allows the heart to reestablish an effective rhythm. The hands-on instruction provided by Lt. Mac-Donald and the other paramedics provided a level of con-fidence that individuals need to effectively operate an AED in an emergency.

Individuals interested in learning about AED use or de-siring CPR Certification should contact Black Forest Fire

and Rescue at 495-4300.Black Forest AARP Chapter membership is open to in-

dividuals of all ages living in the greater Pikes Peak area. For more information, visit the chapter website at http://aarpchapter1100blackforest.weebly.com/index.html or call Chuck at 749-9227.

County’s work on tree removal completeFor the Tribune

El Paso County’s portion of the Black Forest Hazard Tree Removal Project has come to end. The county removed more than 5,000 trees next to trails in Black Forest Regional Park and in the rights-of-ways along coun-ty roads.

Mountain View Electric will con-tinue their Hazard Tree Removal Proj-ect in Zone 3 which may cause some temporary lane closures. Residents

are asked to be cautious of roadside workers and flaggers. The project is expected to be completed by the end of April.

“A special thank you is needed for the citizens of the Black Forest com-munity for their continued interest and cooperation throughout the proj-ect,” said Public Services Executive DirectorJim Reid.

Total number of trees cut/removed by the county: 5,499

• 4,803 of 5,499 trees were cut by

local contractors – 87 percents local work

Total trees used as erosion control logs in Black Forest Regional Park: 1,463

Three local subcontractors worked on the project:

• Gilbert’s Tree Removal, Colorado Springs

• Anderson Tree Removal, Foun-tain

• Tree Masters, Monument

Palmer Ridge boys aiming for track state titleBears have nine individuals or teams ranked in the top five in stateBy Danny [email protected]

The preseason predictions from those who keep a close eye on Colorado high school track and field were that the Palmer Ridge boys’ team would be a strong con-tender for the Class 4A state title.

So far that script is going according to plan.

The Bears have nine individuals or teams ranked in the top five in the state in numerous events. But more importantly, they are working as a unit to achieve a common goal.

“We’ve got the depth this year, defi-nitely,” said junior distance runner Eric Hamer. “We’ve got the field events, and distance and relays have it down. It’s just awesome.

“We’ve really grown close this year. Dis-tance and sprinters and field events have really come on the same page this year

and we have the same goal in mind.”Hamer is ranked second in the 3200

and sixth in the 1600. He is also part of the 4x800 team that is ranked fifth.

As a program, Palmer Ridge sent a school-record 31 athletes to the state track meet in the 2013. That many boys from the program could qualify for state this year. The top 16 individuals and teams in each event advance to the state meet.

To a person, the Bears concede that a huge reason for their success is the in-tense and grueling workout plan designed by head coach Josh Trahan.

“I’ve thrown up five times already,” said senior Marcus Garrison. “We had our hardest workout of the season on (April 8) and it was a breaking point almost. Half of us nearly didn’t finish.

“The entire time it was us just pushing each other to get the times that we were wanting to get.”

Garrison is part of the 4x100 and 4x200 relay teams that are each ranked third in the state. He is also on the No. 1-ranked 4x400 team.

“Coach keeps talking about us break-ing the state record in the 4x400,” Garrison said. “If we we’ll probably be in the top 50 in the nation. Last year we were 81st.”

A typical workout for Garrison and his crew includes a 300 meter run, followed by a 100 meter run, followed by another 300 meter run. That combination is done in sets of three at nearly full speed.

“It takes it all out of us,” Garrison said.The long distance guys have a similar

workout that consists of 20 400-meter runs at nearly full speed.

“This is the first year in my three years that we’ve ever gone this hard,” Garrison said. “This combined with winter track is pushing us as hard as we can.”

Sophomore Caleb Ojennes has already established himself as a prime player in the program. He is ranked first in the state in the 200 and second in the 400. He also runs anchor on the 4x400 and 4x200.

“I feel pretty good, but the work isn’t done,” Ojennes said. “We have so much more ahead of us.

“It feels like we’ve almost gone through all the season, but it’s only going to get harder to win and keep winning; especial-ly coming up with this next month at state. There’s going to be so much competition.”

Evan Malin is ranked first in the 300 hurdles and fourth in the 110 hurdles.

“I don’t like to think of myself as No. 1,” Malin said. “I’d like to think there is always

work that can be done; as a team and for myself alone.

“With coach Trahan pushing us as hard as he is, and with us throwing up and be-ing pushed to our breaking point, it can only help. It’s really hard, but it’s really one of the most enjoyable and greatest feel-ings ever to be able to push yourself past limits that you thought were impossible.”

Other Bears ranked in the top 10 in-clude: Thomas Busath (fourth in the 300 hurdles), Kyle Yoder (third in pole vault), Danny Baumgardt (fifth in triple jump), Josh Bethany (fourth in 800, part of 4x800), Logan Malone (two relay teams, fourth in 400, seventh in 200), Nathan Brock (sixth in pole vault) and Jacob Rother (eighth in pole vault).

“All of these guys work very hard,” Tra-han said. “They all ran indoor track for us as part of Exceler8 Track Club and I believe that is why we have had more success this year.

“They came into the season with a good amount of conditioning. They have pride in every rep at practice and believe in each other. All of them are very humble but very hungry to prove themselves every time on the track.”

The Palmer Ridge High School boys’ track team is hoping to make a serious run at the Class 4A state championship this season. Ten members of the team are ranked in the top five in the state.

Public NoticeMONUMENT TOWN OF 2014 Drinking Water Quality Report For Calendar Year 2013 Public Water System ID: CO0121475Esta es información importante. Si no la pueden leer, necesitan que alguien se la traduzca.

We are pleased to present to you this year’s water quality report. Our constant goal is to provide you with a safe and de-pendable supply of drinking water. Please contact STEVE R SHEFFIELD at 719-243-3312 with any questions about the Drinking Consumer Confidence Rule (CCR) or for public participation opportunities that may affect the water quality.

General InformationAll drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. More information about con-taminants and potential health effects can

be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791) or by visiting http://water.epa.gov/drink/contaminants.

Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immunocompromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV-AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk of infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. For more information about contaminants and potential health effects, or to receive a copy of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agen-cy (EPA) and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and microbiological con-taminants call the EPA Safe Drinking Water Hotline at (1-800-426-4791).

The sources of drinking water (both tap

water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dis-solves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activ-ity. Contaminants that may be present in source water include:• Microbial contaminants: viruses and bacteria that may come from sewage treat-ment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife.• Inorganic contaminants: salts and met-als, which can be naturally-occurring or re-sult from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming.• Pesticides and herbicides: may come from a variety of sources, such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses.• Radioactive contaminants: can be natu-rally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.• Organic chemical contaminants: includ-

ing synthetic and volatile organic chemi-cals, which are byproducts of industrial processes and petroleum production, and also may come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff, and septic systems.

In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment prescribes regula-tions limiting the amount of certain contami-nants in water provided by public water systems. The Food and Drug Administra-tion regulations establish limits for contami-nants in bottled water that must provide the same protection for public health.

Lead in Drinking WaterIf present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems (especially for pregnant women and young children). It is possible that lead levels at your home may be higher than other homes in the community as a result of materials used in your home’s plumbing. If you are con-cerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. When your water has been sitting for several hours,

you can minimize the potential for lead ex-posure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. Additional information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791) or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.

Source Water Assessment and Protection (SWAP)

The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has provided us with a Source Water Assessment Report for our water supply. For general information or to obtain a copy of the report please visit http://wqcdcompliance.com/ccr. The report is located under “Source Water Assessment Reports”, and then “Assess-ment Report by County”. Select EL PASO County and find 121475; MONUMENT TOWN OF or by contacting STEVE R SHEFFIELD at 719-243-3312. The Source Water Assessment Report provides a screening-level evaluation of potential contamination that could occur. It does

not mean that the contamination has or will occur. We can use this information to evaluate the need to improve our current water treatment capabilities and prepare for future contamination threats. This can help us ensure that quality finished water is delivered to your homes. In addition, the source water assessment results provide a starting point for developing a source water protection plan. Potential sources of contamination in our source water area are listed on the next page.

Please contact us to learn more about what you can do to help protect your drinking water sources, any questions about the Drinking Water Consumer Confidence Re-port, to learn more about our system, or to attend scheduled public meetings. We want you, our valued customers, to be informed about the services we provide and the quality water we deliver to you every day.

Terms and Abbreviations

• Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) − The highest level of a contaminant allowed in drinking water. • Treatment Technique (TT) − A required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water. • Action Level (AL) − The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment and other regulatory requirements. • Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL) − The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a

disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants. • Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG) − The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow

for a margin of safety. • Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal (MRDLG) − The level of a drinking water disinfectant, below which there is no known or expected risk to health.

MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants. • Violation (No Abbreviation) − Failure to meet a Colorado Primary Drinking Water Regulation. • Formal Enforcement Action (No Abbreviation) − Escalated action taken by the State (due to the risk to public health, or number or severity of violations) to bring a

non-compliant water system back into compliance. • Variance and Exemptions (V/E) − Department permission not to meet a MCL or treatment technique under certain conditions.

• Gross Alpha (No Abbreviation) − Gross alpha particle activity compliance value. It includes radium-226, but excludes radon 222, and uranium. • Picocuries per liter (pCi/L) − Measure of the radioactivity in water. • Nephelometric Turbidity Unit (NTU) − Measure of the clarity or cloudiness of water. Turbidity in excess of 5 NTU is just noticeable to the typical person. • Compliance Value (No Abbreviation)��ingle or calculated value used to determine if regulatory contaminant level (e.g. MCL) is met. Examples of calculated values

are the 90th Percentile, Running Annual Average (RAA) and Locational Running Annual Average (LRAA). • Average (x-bar) − Typical value. • Range (R) − Lowest value to the highest value. • Sample Size (n) − Number or count of values (i.e. number of water samples collected). • Parts per million = Milligrams per liter (ppm = mg/L) − One part per million corresponds to one minute in two years or a single penny in $10,000. • Parts per billion = Micrograms per liter (ppb = ug/L) − One part per billion corresponds to one minute in 2,000 years, or a single penny in $10,000,000. • Parts per trillion = Nanograms per liter (ppt = ng/L) − One part per trillion corresponds to one minute in 2,000,000 years, or a single penny in $10,000,000,000. • Parts per quadrillion = Picograms per liter (ppq = pg/L) − One part per quadrillion corresponds to one minute in 2,000,000,000 years or one penny in

SALOME’S STARSFOR THE WEEK OF ApRil 14, 2014

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) professional relationships grow stronger. But you might still need to ease some problems with someone in your personal life. One way could be to try to be less rigid in your views.

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) You might be too close to that perplexing personal situation to even attempt to make a rational decision about it right now. Stepping back could help you gain a wider perspective.

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Being asked to choose between the positions of two friends is an unfair im-position on you. it’s best to reject the “demands” and insist they try harder to work things out on their own.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) A change of mind about a workplace decision might be called for once you hear more arguments, pro and con. A personal event suddenly takes an unexpected (but pleasant!) turn.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Romance once again looms large for single leos and leonas, with Cupid favor-ing Taurus and libra to inspire those warm and fuzzy leonine feelings. Expect another workplace change.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) A surprise gift -- and, happily, with no strings attached -- could come just when you need it to avoid a delay in getting your project done. Expect education to dominate the week.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Someone close to you might ask for your support as she or he faces a de-manding personal challenge. Offer it, by all means. But be careful you don’t neglect your own needs at this time.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) An unexpected de-velopment could put your relationship with a partner or spouse to an emotionally demanding test. But your determination to get to the truth should save the day.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) A recent agree-ment appears to be coming apart over the surfacing of unexpected complications. You might need to have expert advice on how to resolve the situation.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Your keen busi-ness sense helps you get to the truth about a suspi-cious business deal. Expect to have many colleagues rally to support your efforts in this important matter.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Someone who once moved in and out of your life through the years might now want to come back in on a more permanent ba-sis. Give yourself a lot of time to weigh your decision.

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Showing frustration over a delayed workplace decision might get someone’s attention, but not necessarily make him or her move any sooner. Best advice would be to be patient and wait it out.

BORN THIS WEEK: You are drawn to excitement and enjoy fast-tempo music, with the more brass, the better..

Rangers, Bears ready to clash on baseball diamondMonument teams are both in the hunt for the PPAC titleBy Danny [email protected]

The rivalry between Lewis-Palmer and Palmer Ridge is going to get a little bigger this week when the school’s baseball teams meet for a critical home and home series.

The stage has been set for what appears to be a two-game tilt that could very likely decide the Class 4A Pikes Peak Athletic Con-ference champion.

“Lewis-Palmer is definitely for real,” said Palmer Ridge coach Steve Whiting. “They have some good pitching and they are hit-ting the ball well.

“It’s shaping up to be a big two-game se-ries.”

Lewis-Palmer hosts its rival on April 19, while Palmer Ridge gets home field on April 22.

Lewis-Palmer is enjoying its best sea-son in many years. The Rangers are 6-0 in league, 8-3 overall, and looking every bit like a team that could make a deep postseason run.

“I remind the boys that we don’t change our strategy against any team we play,” said Lewis-Palmer coach Tom McCabe. “We try to execute the game plan I put in place and so far we’ve been pretty successful doing that.”

The Rangers have three solid starting pitchers who have excellent strikeouts to innings pitched ratios; sophomore Paul Tillotson (2-1, 20 strikeouts in 16 innings), junior Colin Cicere (4-0, 35 strikeouts in 24 innings) and senior Carson Haws (1-1, 16 strikeouts in 12 innings).

Haws had arm trouble early in the sea-son, but he looked good in his last start against Sand Creek on April 10 when he

struck out eight in six innings and allowed three hits.

“Tillotson works hard and Cicere has re-ally come into his own this year,” McCabe said. “We’re still monitoring Haws.”

Veteran senior catcher in PJ Underwood has been solid behind the plate. He also is considered the team’s closer on the mound.

“PJ has done exactly what we’ve asked him to do,” McCabe said.

The Rangers are explosive offensively. Among the leaders are Tillotson (.697 bat-ting average, three home runs, 13 RBIs), Haws (.556, 2, 10), junior Conner Weeth (.542), Underwood (.444) and junior Hank Kuntzelman (.381).

More than a few baseball fans in the Pikes Peak region - and probably around the state - took notice when the Rangers swept Air Academy in a pair of games last week. Earlier this season, Lewis-Palmer took two from Cheyenne Mountain.

“You need good pitching and Lewis-Palmer has that,” said Cheyenne Mountain coach Mark Swope. “(Lewis-Palmer) is a good team. There’s no doubt about that.”

Palmer Ridge has been among the top teams in the Pikes Peak region for years. The Bears advanced to the postseason again in 2013 and hosted a regional.

The Bears are 8-3 overall, 6-1 in league.“We play in the best conference in the

whole state,” Whiting said. “There’s never and easy game with the way the schedule is set up.”

The Bears also have a strong pitching staff led by junior Jake Grubesic (3-0, 17 strikeouts in 17 innings). Junior Kurt Larsen is 2-0 with 16 strikeouts in 10 innings.

Offensively, Palmer Ridge is led by senior Carter Thorne (.500, team-leading 12 RBIs) and senior Jake Weems (.407, 10 RBIs).

Also enjoying fine seasons with the bat are junior Cole Hurford (.387), senior Billy Schulze (.375) and junior Jack Stamper (.321).

Palmer Ridge defeated Cherokee Trail, 20-6, on April 8.

Bryant had four goals and two assists. Koch had four goals, while Walker and Sam Rippley had three goals. Walker also had four assists.

The Bears are 6-2 overall and have six league games remaining.

Koch leads the team with 28 goals, fol-

lowed by Walker (21), Bryant (11) and Ali Walker (10).

TITANS BASEBALL OFF TO NICE STARTThe Classical baseball team improved

to 7-2, 3-0 in the Class 3A Tri-Peaks League, after a doubleheader sweep of Colorado Springs Christian School on April 12. The Titans won by scores of 10-6 and 15-0.

Kyle Jacobs’ .684 batting average leads the team. Peter Troupe is batting .600, fol-lowing by McKinnon Walker (.381) and Alec Van Eaton (.350).

RANGERS SOCCER REBOUNDS AFTER LOSSFreshman Brianna Alger had quite a

week on the soccer fi eld for Lewis-Palmer.She scored all four of the Rangers’ goals

over a three-game span, helping the team to a pair of victories.

On April 11, she scored in the second half against Evergreen and then won the game in the second overtime during a 2-1 victory.

On April 10, Alger scored Lewis-Palmer’s only goal during a 2-1 loss to Cheyenne Mountain in a key 4A Pikes Peak Athletic Conference match. It was the Rangers’ fi rst loss of the season.
