Sheri� ’s O� ce makes arrest in burglaries 20 businesses were targeted in Black Forest By Rob Carrigan [email protected]
The El Paso County Sheriff’s Offi ce arrested two men for a string of burglaries in the Black Forest area.
According to a report from the El Paso County Sheriff’s Offi ce, two sus-pects were arrested on Oct. 3 for more than 20 business burglaries in the Black Forest area and three in the Cimmaron Hills area.
The burglaries have in-volved multiple business suites in the 12600 and 11500 blocks of Black For-est Road, the 6800 block of Silver Pond Heights and one burglary in the 6900 block of Shoup Road.
The investigation also identifi ed similar bur-glaries in the 7300 block of McClain Point, 500 block of Hathaway Drive, and 700 block of Valley Street in the Cimarron Hills area. Hunter Cody Shackelford, 23, was ar-rested and booked into the El Paso County jail
on one count of second degree burglary concern-ing theft of prescription drugs a Class 3 Felony and multiple counts of second degree burglary a class 4 felony. Shackelford is held on a $10,000.00 bond.
Kylie Jo Mardon, 22, was arrested and booked into the El Paso County jail on two counts of false in-formation to a Pawn Bro-ker a class 6 felony and posted a $1,000 bond.
Since Sept. 22, the El Paso County Sheriff’s Of-fi ce has been investigat-ing reports of more than 20 business burglaries in the Black Forest area.
In each case, the sus-pects forced entry into the businesses and a variety of property items were taken. The investigation resulted in the arrests of these two suspects and the recovery of a large amount of stolen property, reports said.
As the investigation continues additional charges are anticipated and the business owners affected by these crimes will be contacted to iden-tify the recovered prop-erty.
Anyone who believes they are a victim of similar crimes is encouraged to contact the Sheriff’s Offi ce at 390-5555.
Thousands a� ected locally by shutdown Air Force Academy chapel, fossil beds among landmarks closed By Danny Summers [email protected]
The Air Force Academy commissary was extra busy on Tuesday, one day after the partial U.S. government shutdown.
That’s because an announcement was made earlier in the day that beginning Wednesday, the commissary would be closed until further notice.
That scenario was just one of many in-volving government-run agencies in the Pikes Peak region.
According to sources, most Defense De-partment offi ces employees showed up for work Tuesday morning, but the majorities of those workers received furlough notices and were sent home.
The federal government shutdown also affected the area’s only national park, Flo-rissant Fossil Beds in Florissant. Folks who visited the Fossil Beds’ web site on Tuesday were greeted with this message:
“Because of the federal government shutdown, all national parks are closed and
National Park Service web pages are not op-erating. For more information, go to www.doi.gov.”
The Colorado Springs Convention and Visitors Bureau released a statement Tues-day morning that stated that the Air Force Academy Cadet Chapel and Peterson Air & Space Museum were closed temporarily because of the current government status.
The statement also read that even though Pikes Peak is federally owned, the mountain is operated via a permit from the National Forest Service with the city of Colorado Springs.
“All attraction employees, including for-est rangers, are employed by the city and thus not affected by the shutdown. Pikes Peak, the Summit House and the Pikes Peak Highway, are all open and operating nor-mally,” the statement read.
“At this time, travel for all intercollegiate athletics is canceled – this includes the Air Force-Navy game on Saturday, Oct. 5.
The statement also said that Air Force will attempt to play all home intercollegiate athletic contests but those may be can-celed, as well.
By Tuesday afternoon there was talk that the football game - which is sold out and scheduled to be televised nationally by CBS – might be back on because of private fund-ing.
According to various Colorado Springs news outlets, a military source said that
there is a 50/50 chance that the game will be played with conference fees, conference television money and ticket revenue mak-ing up for a lack of government funding.
A decision must be made by 10 a.m. Thursday or the game will be canceled or postponed. A likely makeup date is Dec. 7. In the meantime, Air Force is practicing as if it might travel to the East Coast to play the game.
Even some Air Force Academy civil-ian employees were furloughed Tuesday, including public affairs offi cers John Van Winkle and Meade Warthen.
“We will start our furloughs today and we will be on furlough until further notice,”
Van Winkle said in an email. “We are not allowed to work, or volunteer assistance. Likewise, all government cell phones that we use are off and turned in for the dura-tion of the furlough/shutdown.”
Congressmen Doug Lamborn, whose constituents area spread over a large part of El Paso and Teller counties, furloughed 43 percent of his staff in Washington, D.C., according to his spokesman Catherine Mortensen.
The government shutdown wasn’t felt on Wall Street on Tuesday as the Dow Jones In-dustrial Average fi nished up 62.03 points at 15,191.70. The S&P 500 and NASDAQ were also up.
The lights are still on, but local federal installations were aff ected by the government shutdown. Photo by Rob Carrigan

Monument winery expected to open in early 2014 Woodworth receives medals for winemaking
The new winery, which is both the in-spiration and lifelong dream of longtime Monument merchants Woody And Cathe-rine Woodworth, will open its doors in early 2014. The building, at 243 Washington St., will be, in only a few months, the home of Catriona Cellars. The Catriona Cellars com-plex will house a tasting room, a café that includes outdoor patio seating and a pro-duction facility.
Clifford “Woody” Woodworth will serve as the winery’s chief winemaker. Wood-worth was awarded silver and bronze med-als earlier this year for his custom wine en-tries in the 2013 WineMaker International Amateur Wine Competition, the largest
wine competition of its kind in the world. Woodworth’s silver medals were awarded in the categories of Sauvignon Blanc and Oth-er Red Vinifera Blends. His bronze medal was awarded in the category of Other Red Vinifera Varietals.
Woodworth was noti-fi ed only recently about the hon-ors his wines had garnered, and in his words, was “surprised and quite delighted” with the news.
This year’s competition included a re-cord 4,564 entries and included 2,282 total judging hours using the well-established U.S. Davis 20-point wine scale evaluating appearance, aroma, taste, aftertaste and overall impression. Entrants represented all 50 states, eight Canadian provinces and nine countries in total.
“I was delighted to be so honored by the judges as I know the competition was stiff,”
commented Woodworth, who has been making wine and custom blends for more than a decade.
Catriona, which is the Gaelic version of the name Catherine, is aptly named for Catherine Woodworth, who will also be the
co-owner of the winery and the proprietor of The Café at Catriona. Her planned menu will include offerings selected to pair with or include wine as a key recipe ingredient and will also offer non-alcoholic offerings. “I’m looking forward to sharing our passion for wine and food pairing with the larger community,” added Catherine Woodworth. “It’s a dream very soon to come true for both of us.”
Catriona’s tasting room will offer sam-ples of Woodworth’s signature blends of red and white wines and will offer wines by the glass and by the bottle to enjoy in the Café at Catriona. Cases of wine will also be avail-able for purchase on premise. His vision is to create wines that transcend standard varietals to become the “sum that is greater than its parts.”
For more information, visit www.catrio-nacellars.com.
FAST-GROWING INDUSTRY
Catriona Cellars will soon join the ranks of Colorado-based wineries, a fast-growing and robust industry that included more than 100 wineries in 2010, compared to only � ve in 1990, and attracts visitors and wine enthusiasts from all over the world. Catriona’s investors, who are often seen touring the rapid construction progress, are particularly excited. Diane Wisdom, co-proprietor of Wisdom Tea House in Monu-ment, and one of Catriona Cellar’s investors observed, “Tom and I are honored to be a part of this important business, which will be a truly invigorating addition to Monument!”

Tips on how to prepare for winter Precautions need to be taken in the coming months for safety By Sherri Albertson Contributing writer
October is the time of year for winter readiness in the mountains. Here are some preparation tips to help get started.
There is snow in the forecast again, but before getting dependent on running the heat at night – it’s important to do two things. One, have the furnace inspected and two, schedule a visit from a local chimney sweep. Maintaining the furnace will keep it running effi ciently, reduce energy costs and keep everyone safe and warm. Remember to change the air fi lter and have a licensed service technician clean the fl ame and heat sensors, the burner and the oil pump and the stack control, as needed. Also, check the
outside vents for any blockages like leaves or nests.
According to the U.S. Fire Administra-tion, a branch of FEMA, more than one-third of Americans use fi replaces, wood stoves and other fuel-fi red appliances as primary heat sources in their homes. Heat-ing fi res also account for 36 percent of resi-dential home fi res in rural areas every year. Often these fi res are because of creosote buildup in chimneys and stovepipes.
In addition to having the chimney in-spected and cleaned annually by a certifi ed chimney specialist, homeowners should keep the area around the hearth clear of fl ammable debris; leave glass doors open while burning a fi re to ensure that the fi re receives enough air to ensure complete combustion and keep creosote from build-ing up in the chimney and close glass doors or metal mesh screening when the fi re is out to keep air from blowing hot embers in the room.
Remember to burn seasoned hardwoods whenever possible, never burn cardboard
or trash in the fi replace or woodstove and store stacked fi rewood at least 30 feet away from the home. Also check around the chimney for any low hanging branches that may catch fi re from a spark. Daylight-saving time ends on Sunday, Nov. 3 – so this is also the time to change the batteries in smoke detectors and carbon monoxide monitors.
By this point, the fi rst frost has already happened, so it’s time to tuck in the garden and yard for a long winter’s nap.
Those who haven’t already, need to fer-tilize the lawn and aerate, if needed, and blow out irrigation systems. Also carefully prune any dead branches from trees and shrubs, but keep up with watering new or young plantings until the ground freezes completely.
It’s now time to dig up fl ower bulbs like dahlias and gladiolus and to plant tulips for next spring’s showing. Seeds can also be saved from many types of annuals. Gen-tly clean off dirt and store bulbs and seeds in paper bags in a cool, dry location away from direct light. Also apply a thick layer of mulch (3 or more inches) to any bedding areas to help insulate them throughout the coldest months.
Once fi nished with the outdoor garden-ing task, don’t forget to clean, sharpen and lubricate tools before storing them. While
checking off outdoor preparation chores, take a moment to clean the leaves out of gutters to prevent ice buildup and tune up tractors and snowplows so they’re ready to go.
Winter activities are the reason that many have moved to this area, but there are precautions to keep in mind as well. The coming months are not only popular for skiing, snowmobiling and other outdoor sports, they are also well-liked by hunters. Those who have plans for hiking or back-country skiing should be aware of their surroundings and remember to wear some type of blaze orange clothing or accessory. Stay on the trail, take extra supplies, never hike alone and make sure someone knows where one will be and when they plan to return.
It’s also wise to keep an emergency kit in the car during this season. According to AAA Colorado, the kit should include, but not be limited to, a fl ashlight and spare bat-teries, a gallon of water, a water-repelling blanket, a container of non-clumping cat litter, a shovel, snow brush and fl ares.
By preparing ahead of time, everyone can get the most enjoyment out the com-ing season. As Ben Franklin once said “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

‘Snow’ much to learn about winter Silver Lake holds record for 76 inches of white stu� By Metro Creative Connection
Snow is much more than white, wet and cold. There are many different facts about snow that make it unique and one of the more complex types of precipitation.
• Although snow appears white because of the countless tiny surfaces of each snow-fl ake crystal refl ecting most of the wave-lengths of light, snowfl akes are actually colorless. Snow may take on other colors thanks to particulates in the air or even from different strains of algae.
• Many places around the world hold certain world records pertaining to snow. The most snow to fall in a 24-hour period occurred in 1921 in Silver Lake, where 76 inches of snow fell. However, the most snow to fall in one year took place on Mount Bak-er in the state of Washington. This area saw more than 1,000 inches of snowfall during the 1998-99 season.
• The world’s largest snow sculpture was called “Romantic Feelings” and was 656 feet long and 115 feet tall. The sculpture was on display at the International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival in Heilongjiang Province in China.
• Snowfl akes come in many different
shapes, and their sizes are determined by how many ice crystals connect together.
• It can be too cold for snow to form. Without enough water droplets in the air, snow will not fall during extremely cold weather.
• The largest snowfl akes ever recorded fell in the state of Montana. The snowfl akes were 15 inches in diameter.
• The average snowfl ake falls at a speed of 3.1 miles per hour.
• Snow that has been compacted after multiple melting and refreezing cycles is known as snow pack.
• A snow storm describes a heavy snow-fall that results in several inches of snowfall. A blizzard classifi es a snow storm combined with wind, obscuring visibility.
• Snow will either melt or sublimate. Sublimation is when snow turns from a solid form into a gaseous form without an intermediary liquid phase.
• Snow can be heavy or light depending on its water content.
• An avalanche occurs when snow that has accumulated on a mountain is dis-turbed by a thermal or physical impact, which causes the snow to rush downhill in a large mass.
Preceding an avalanche is a phenom-enon known as an avalanche wind caused by the approaching avalanche itself, which adds to its destructive potential.

Fire� ghters extinguish Burgess Road house � re Other agencies respond to evening blaze By Sta� report
Black Forest fi refi ghters quickly responded to a house fi re Sept. 30 on Burgess Road, just east of Vollmer.
All damage was contained to the structure, with no spread to the sur-rounding forest. No people or animals were injured.
Early in the evening, the homeown-ers noticed the smell of smoke in the house. When they investigated, they found smoke rising from the chimney and heavy smoke in the garden-level basement. A smoke alarm on the up-per level had begun to sound.
The family immediately left the house, not even stopping for their shoes. They called 911 from a cell
phone and stayed safely outside.Only a few minutes after the own-
er’s call to 911, fi refi ghters arrived from Black Forest Station One. The house is only two miles from the station.
“When a fi re is quickly discovered and quickly reported, that always helps fi refi ghters,” noted Black Forest Fire Chief Bob Harvey. “We can do an even better job when smoke detec-tors are installed on every level of the home, to give homeowners an even earlier warning of a fi re.”
The fi rst-arriving fi refi ghters in-cluded both paid and volunteer fi re-fi ghters who were on duty. When they arrived, they saw well-developed fl ames in one of the rooms of the gar-den-level basement.
More Black Forest volunteers ar-rived within minutes, along with engines and fi refi ghters from the Wescott, Tri Lakes – Monument, and
Falcon fi re departments. Deputies from the El Paso County Sheriff’s Of-fi ce shut down a section of Burgess Road to allow fi re trucks to safely op-erate.
Fire damage was mostly contained to two rooms, but the rest of the house was heavily damaged by smoke. The family has been temporarily dis-placed, and was offered immediate support from the Pikes Peak Chapter of the American Red Cross.
Firefi ghters removed drywall from several walls and ceilings to ensure that the fi re was not smoldering un-seen. A Black Forest team remained at the house for the rest of the night, watching to make sure that the fi re did not re-ignite from hidden embers.
The fi re is under routine investiga-tion by the El Paso County Sheriff’s Of-fi ce, which has not yet determined the cause.
Retro Scary Movie Nights in Monument sure to spook Four classic Halloween-type movies being shown this month
By Danny Summers [email protected]
The fi rst, the original and the soon to be legendary – at least according to the Town of Monu-ment– Retro Scary Movie Night’s are taking this place this month during specifi c evenings.
“The Halloween scene is rolling around so we fi gured this would be a great time to show some solid family movies,” said Josh Steinfeld who handles marketing for the town of Monument.
“The movies are a good bal-ance of fun, a little bit of scary, and great for the family.”
The movies are being shown at the Monument Marketplace in Jackson Creek near the Clock-
tower. Popcorn and beverages are being provided free of charge by Wal-Mart.
Hot chocolate will be donated by It’s a Grind.
The event kicked off on Oct. 3 with the showing of the 1983 clas-sic “Ghostbusters.”
More than 100 people showed up and watched the fi lm, which screened at 7 p.m.
“We’re pleased and excited by the turnout,” Steinfeld said. “We expect a much larger turnout next week.
“We’re not taking the whole event too seriously. We just want people to come out and enjoy themselves.”
“Attack of the Killer Tomatoes” is scheduled for Oct. 10. The fi nal two movies are “Gremlins” (Oct. 17) and “Beetlejuice” (Oct. 26).
“These wonderful commu-nity events represent the fi rst of many new initiatives based on a recently launched marketing ef-fort the town has begun to en-tice people from Denver, Pueblo, Colorado Springs and across the Front Range to visit our wonder-ful hamlet,” said Pamela Smith, Monument town manager.
“We look forward to hosting movie enthusiasts or just people looking to come to Monument for dinner, shopping and an old fash-ioned fun night out underneath the stars.”

we’re in this together
Dropping names before Yankees were strongIt is weird, but I think I ran into Rick
“Goose” Gossage when walking the dogs today.
He was jogging, but said “hello.” I thought about legacy, coincidence,
high-powered names and old-time base-ball. I didn’t have my Yankee hat on, and the dogs didn’t recognize him, or if they did, they didn’t realize he was in the Base-ball Hall of Fame.
So much for dropping names.Long before the Yankees were strong,
Carrigan was a household name in Boston, Maine, and all over New England.
Bill “Rough”Carrigan was “deadball-era” catcher and played 10 seasons for the Bos-ton Red Sox. In the middle of the season in 1913, he replaced defending World Series manager Jake Stahl as a player manager. Later, he returned as Boston’s manager in 1927 and stayed until 1929. Carrigan was fairly small for major league baseball, only about 5 feet, 9 inches tall, and weighed about 175 pounds.
“In the spring of 1906, Carrigan was signed to a Red Sox contract by Charles Taylor, the father of Red Sox owner John I. Taylor. Carrigan joined the struggling Red Sox directly in the middle of the season, immediately catching the likes of Bill Din-neen and Cy Young,” according to Mark Amour, for the SABR Baseball Biography Project. The next few seasons established him as a reliable contributor on the field and in the box.
“In July 1913, the Red Sox were grap-
pling with a series of injuries, fighting among themselves, and limping along in fifth place. Team president Jimmy McAleer fired manager Jake Stahl just months after his World Series triumph, and replaced him with his 29-year-old catcher. Car-rigan liked Stahl, as did most of the team, and was reluctant to take charge of a team filled with veterans, many of whom were just as qualified for the job as he. McAleer persuaded Carrigan to take it. The Red Sox were a team fractured along religious lines, as Protestants like Tris Speaker, Joe Wood, and Harry Hooper often crossed swords with the Catholics on the team, including Carrigan,” says Amour.
“Smoking Joe” Wood began his baseball career on town teams in the Colorado San Juans, playing for Ouray teams in Telluride, Rico and Silverton, before his outstanding major-league run.
“The well-mannered Carrigan earned the nickname ‘Rough’ for the way he played. He was a well-respected handler of pitchers, and had a fair throwing arm, but
it was his plate blocking that caused Chi-cago White Sox manager Nixey Callahan to say, “You might as well try to move a stone wall.” On May 17, 1909, he engaged in a famous brawl with the Tigers’ George Mo-riarty after a collision at home plate, while their teammates stood and watched. He had a fight with Sam Crawford a couple of years later, and maintained a reputation as someone who would not back down from a confrontation,” according to Amour.
After he replaced Stahl as manager, he led Boston to a second-place finish in 1914 and then, two world championships in 1915 and 1916, stacking up an 8-2 record as a manager in World Series play. Until Terry Francona duplicated the feat in 2007, he was the only manager to have won two World Series titles with Boston. Babe Ruth called Carrigan the best manager he ever played for.
“The most important event of the 1914 season was the purchase, at Carrigan’s urging, of pitchers Ernie Shore and Babe Ruth from Baltimore of the International League. Although Ruth gave his skipper a lot of credit for his development as a player, Carrigan was humble in his own assessment: “Nobody could have made Ruth the great pitcher and great hitter he was but himself. He made himself with the aid of his God-given talents.” Old Rough did allow that his protégé needed quite a bit of discipline, and Carrigan was there to provide it, even rooming with Ruth for a time. Carrigan caught Ruth in his pitching
debut, on July 11,” wrote Amour.“In early September 1916, Carrigan an-
nounced that he would be leaving baseball at the end of the season. He had actually wanted to quit after the 1915 Series, and had so told owner Joe Lannin, but his owner talked him into the one additional campaign. Carrigan later wrote, “I had become fed up on being away from home from February to October. I was in my 30’s, was married and had an infant daughter. I wanted to spend more time with my family than baseball would allow.”
He retired to his hometown of Lewiston and embarked on careers in real estate (as co-owner of several movie theaters in New England) and banking. A few years later he sold his theaters for a substantial profit and became a wealthy man.”
He returned home to his banking career, eventually becoming president of People’s Savings Bank in Maine. In 1946, he was named to the Honor Roll in the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame, in 1968 was named to Holy Cross College’s Hall of Fame, and in 2004 named to the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame. “Rough Bill” Carri-gan died in a Lewiston, Maine, hospital in 1969 at the age of 85.
Today, it occurs to me, that legends and names are relative. So much for dropping names.
Our name is written in the dirt along-side the plate.
But the umpire can sweep it away – the next time there is a close call at home.
Can a train be repossessed?I ran across this story in an old Cripple
Creek paper, and all I could think of was the various TV programs about repossess-ing cars!
Sheriff Henry Robertson of Cripple Creek, on Oct. 5, 1903, repossessed the Pullman palace car “Chamita” standing at the Midland Terminal depot for the nonpayment of $663.21 in taxes. The Pull-man Co. had never paid any county taxes, according to county assessor Lysight.
In order to make sure the Pullman Co. could not pull the car out of the county, Robertson secured a large log chain and a heavy padlock. He placed the chain about the axle of the car and passed the chain under the steel rail and then locked it. Charley Hoskins was made custodian and occupied the car until the taxes were paid. In addition there were two Pullman employees in the car, who could not leave their posts. If the county went so far as try-ing to sell the car, it might be quite difficult to find a buyer. The car was worth about $5,000.
The company and the Midland Ter-minal road reacted by abolishing their
Cripple Creek sleeping car service that night and no Pullman Palace cars came into the district. No attempt was made by any of the company’s employees to move the car.
The sleeper stood on the Midland Ter-minal siding, chained to the tracks through the day and night. In the morning, word went out that Deputy Treasurer Gus Trolich had not received any word from any of the Pullman officials, whose principal office was in Chicago.
Owing to the incident, there were no Pullman cars coming into the Cripple
Thanksgiving holiday has a confusing history
I want to be the first to wish everyone in the Pikes Peak region a Happy Thanksgiv-ing! And make sure you save room for a piece of pumpkin pie.
If you’re like most Americans, you likely celebrate the truly American event the fourth Thursday in November. But, like many things American, that day has little to do with the actual first Thanksgiving.
Of course, nobody actually knows when that first Thanksgiving was, or if it even involved Pilgrims. We grew up reading and learning about the Pilgrims and of the great feast they had with their American Indian friends in 1621.
They started the tradition of beginning their Thanksgiving Day by playing a game of flag football in the local park and then watching the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys on a little black and white televi-sion. That night they ate pumpkin pie and capped off the evening by taking in the latest Hollywood blockbuster.
The actual truth is much different.Researchers at the University of Florida
claim that the earliest Thanksgiving service in what is now the United States, was cel-ebrated by the Spanish on Sept. 8, 1565, in what is now St. Augustine, Florida.
Of course, that claim contradicts the folks in the little town of San Elizario, Texas, a community near El Paso, boasts it celebrated the first Thanksgiving on Ameri-can soil in 1598.
For several years, the town has staged a reenactment of the event that culminated in the Thanksgiving celebration; the arrival of Spanish explorer Juan de Onate on the banks of the Rio Grande. De Onate is said to have held a big Thanksgiving festival after leading hundreds of settlers on a gru-eling 350-mile long trek across the Mexican desert.
Virginia also lays claims to the first Thanksgiving in 1619. The first Virginia Thanksgiving - which some say actual dates to 1607 - took place at the Berkeley Plantation on the James River on Dec. 4. Every year since 1958 the folks in that area have reenacted the event. This Virginia Thanksgiving was actually recognized by President John F. Kennedy in 1963 as the official first Thanksgiving.
Another President, George Washington, made the first official Thanksgiving procla-mation on Oct. 3, 1789. By doing so, he cre-ated the first Thanksgiving Day designated
by the national government of the United States. His proclamation read, in part:
“Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor, and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an op-portunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.
“Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glori-ous”
Washington again proclaimed a Thanksgiving in 1795. President John Adams declared Thanksgivings in 1798 and 1799. No Thanksgiving proclamations were issued by President Thomas Jefferson, but President James Madison renewed the tra-dition in 1814, in response to resolutions of Congress, at the close of the War of 1812.
Madison also declared the holiday twice in 1815. However, none of Madison’s Thanksgivings of 1815 were celebrated in autumn.
For the next 40 years, governors of states everywhere were issuing Thanksgiv-ing proclamations. By 1858, proclamations appointing a day of thanksgiving were is-sued by the governors of 25 states and two territories.
Finally, on Oct. 3, 1863, President Abra-ham Lincoln announced that the nation will celebrate the official Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday of each November. But the madness didn’t end there.
Moving on up to a higher altitude“I hear there are people who actually
enjoy moving. Sounds like a disease to me — they must be unstable. Though it does have its poetry, I’ll allow that. When an old dwelling starts looking desolate, a mixture of regret and anxiety comes over us and we feel like we are leaving a safe harbor for the rolling sea. As for the new place, it looks on us with alien eyes, it has nothing to say to us, it is cold.”

We moved to Colorado last November from Iowa.
It’s been almost a year now.I had been out of Iowa before — but it
had been many years. I was used to my home state. It was like a well-worn pair of jeans. It was a soft blanket. It was my com-fort zone with a Walgreen’s and a Dillard’s right around the corner. It was everything a girl could want — all of my essential “go-to” places within reach. McDonald’s was nearby too, which was handy on nights when I needed to pick up a fast dinner.
I didn’t want to move to Colorado.It wasn’t just the familiarity that held
me back in Iowa — I had just secured my dream job that I had sought since I was 18.
It was an editor position at The Omaha World-Herald just across the line in Nebraska. It was a stone’s throw and then some from where we lived. It was perfect.
My kids’ schools were nearby and they had friends. I had friends. I had co-workers that I liked. I was in a good place in my life, it seemed.
I thought, “we won’t move just when I got this job — something will happen to stop it.”
Nothing happened to stop it. There was no 11th-hour “save the day” moment like in the movies. This was really going to happen.

Our reason for moving was a job change for my husband. His company wanted him to relocate to Denver. He found a lovely home to make an offer on in a place called Castle Rock.
I had never heard of Castle Rock.I reluctantly agreed to make an offer.
I was still holding out for something to sweep in and save us from this life-chang-ing event.
We got the house.So we began to pack up the home we
had lived in for 12 years and raised two little boys in.
We had too many things. As an occa-sional hoarder, I found many odd objects that I was holding on to for no apparent reason other than “I may use that one day!”
One day never came — in the trash they went. Unlike those people on the “Hoard-ers” TV show, I didn’t have to see a therapist to get over my cast-off items.
When we finally accomplished packing up, we started our journey to Castle Rock and our new life.
In my tiny car we packed our three cats, my son Danny’s pet crab and various other household things. My father-in-law drove my car, while my husband drove the moving truck and my mother-in-law drove our larger vehicle — she had my kids with her, then 13-year-old Max and 11-year-old
Danny.It was just my father-in-law and me in a
tiny Chevy Aveo with three very upset kit-ties and a usually silent crab making loud chirping sounds.
It was surreal at 2 a.m. along a dark highway. It was like we were hauling a miniature zoo.
We finally arrived and tried to settle in. There was a King Soopers and liquor store down the street, but precious little else. I longed for my McDonald’s and Walgreen’s. I had no idea where anything was in this strange little town. Would I ever learn?
• • •
I kept a tight grip on my GPS for the first six months.
I found that a lot people are impatient drivers out here, much different from the slow and steady drivers back home.
And I was terrified of Colorado snow. I had heard that snowstorms were numerous out here. I wasn’t sure how I would be able to cope with a new place and new snow.
But cope I did.I got a job at Colorado Community Me-
dia in Highlands Ranch, which was about 30 minutes from Castle Rock. My work-place was so easy to find, even I could get there. Me — the person that got lost trying to find the nearest pizza place.
So terrified was I of getting lost that I actually gave up my favorite pastime for a spell — shopping.
I didn’t think I would ever get new clothes again, even with Castle Rock’s out-let malls in close proximity.
But they were difficult for me to find. Anxiety gripped me whenever I ventured out, so I just went to and from work.
I felt my GPS urging me to give driv-ing around a try. It’s robot-like voice was calling to me. Slowly, I began to try to find places in my adopted town.
Gradually, I began to get a feel for the area.
I even took up shopping again.And I can get to the Walgreen’s in Castle
Rock with ease, so now I can resume buy-ing all the “As Seen on TV” stuff, much to my husband’s chagrin.
My boys have settled into new schools and have each had a birthday since we’ve been here. My oldest, Max, is now in high school.
I would have never thought that he would experience that milestone in a com-pletely different state.
• • •
My new home and its residents are growing on me now. It’s so nice to go to work and actually see some scenery. The mountains loom on the horizon, and they’re gorgeous.
I have seen more rainbows out here than I have ever witnessed in my life. And I have plenty of grainy cellphone shots to prove it.
There are still the occasional rough spots though.
I have picked up some new allergies out here. I’m allergic to aspen trees, which grow aplenty. Sagebrush too. But I’m han-dling it.
Baking, it turns out, is another struggle. My once special cakes now cave in the middle. So the high-altitude baking is something I need to get a handle on. It’s like a fine art. A small pinch here, a dash there. But the stuff still falls apart in the oven.
Oh well, baking is overrated anyway ...I guess what I’m trying to say is that
Colorado may not be to well-worn jeans stage, but it’s getting more comfortable by the day.
I’m even looking forward to the winter — sort of.

Students want to see Palmer lake restoredLewis-Palmer Middle School children take the lake on as a service projectBy Lisa Collacott
Seeing Palmer Lake filled with water doesn’t just mean something to the adults who live in the community. It means some-thing to the countless children who up un-til two years ago went fishing in the lake or watched a fireworks display over the water.
And because these children want to see the lake restored they will be working this school year to help raise funds and spread the word for the Awake Palmer Lake com-mittee, a committee formed by Palmer Lake businesses and residents to restore the lake.
The Lewis-Palmer Middle School eighth-grade blue team has chosen to get involved
in Awake Palmer Lake as their service proj-ect. They have learned a lot about the lake from their teachers Suzanne Magerko, Rick Bainer and Earl Hammond.
Magerko said during a recent field trip, the students hiked up to the reservoirs above the town of Palmer Lake so the stu-dents could see where the town’s watershed is.
“We talked about the fact that the reser-voirs used to help keep Palmer Lake filled, but that due to water rights issues, that is no longer allowed,” Magerko said.
She said afterward that the students were bussed to Palmer Lake so they could see how the lake has dried up. They dis-cussed how it has negatively affected the area both ecologically and economically. Magerko said the students talked about the size of the lake and then walked around the lake counting their steps. Once back at school, the students converted their steps into measurements so they could estimate the area of the lake and the volume of water it could hold.
“Our teacher really cares about the lake,” eighth-grader Mario Facinelli said.
Facinelli and fellow classmate, Kevin Eells, care about the lake just as much. They recall many fun times they have had at the lake growing up.
“We would go out fishing and play on the playground and I played ice hockey on it,” Facinelli said.
“We grew up around it and care about it. The lake has always been a part of our com-munity. It’s been a part of our lives growing up and we want it back,” Eells said.
Jeff Hulsmann, owner of O’Malley’s and member of the Awake Palmer Lake commit-tee said he is thrilled that the students are getting involved.
“I look at it as it’s their lake. I think it’s terrific that the kids are getting involved in environmental issues,” Hulsmann said. “The awareness is important.”
Stacey Nolan, another member of the committee agrees. “I think the most im-portant thing is awareness. If the students get involved their parents get involved and
other students get involved.”Nolan said she talks to people all the
time that have no idea what is going on with the lake. By the students getting involved it helps create more awareness.
One fun activity that the whole family will enjoy and will help raise money for the committee is the upcoming haunted hay-ride at the lake. The event will take place starting at 6 p.m. on Oct. 31. The hayride is geared towards older children, but there will be spooky stories, face painting and candy for the younger ones beginning at 4 p.m. by the gazebo.
Nolan has enlisted the help of the LPMS students as well as high school students to dress up as zombies and help sell hot chocolate. The hay ride will be $8 but Nolan said the students will help distribute $2 off coupons.
The LPMS students hosted an ice skating night at the Colorado Sports Center in Sep-tember and hope to host another one soon. The plan to make posters and write content for the Awake Palmer Lake website.

Monument Academy still looking for sponsorsBy Jim CunninghamPublic Relations and Community Outreach
Monument Academy received a record number of sponsors for its third-annual Read-a-thon pro-gram, but is still seeking sponsors for the February Walk-a-thon.
Monument Academy’s non-profit Parent Teacher Organization manages three annual fundraisers; the Read-a-thon for elementary students, a Walk-a-thon for middle school students and Eat Your Art Out, a fine arts showcase featuring music, art, silent auction and local restaurant cuisine. All three are de-signed to augment school funding gaps.
“We receive the lowest level of per-pupil funding of any school in the state,” said Julie Galusky, Mon-ument Academy PTO president. “We have to find ways to ensure our children and teachers have the resources they need.”
Last year’s Read-a-thon netted more than $25,000 and funded 12 grants to support students and teachers. This year’s money is ear-
marked for educational needs to include software, curricula sup-port materials and other classroom items. More than 800 people at-tended Eat Your Art Out last April and raised $10,000 for the Fine Arts Department to purchase new sound equipment to support choir and band performances.
“More than $30,000 in teacher grant requests have been sub-mitted for critical items this year that our school’s budget just can’t cover,” Galusky said. “While we received tremendous sponsor sup-port for this year’s Read-a-thon, we’re still 50 percent short of our overall goal.”
State funding for Monument Academy has dropped by nearly $1,000 per student in the past three years, making fundraising even more important.
“One hundred percent of the funds go directly to school pro-grams,” said Galusky. “Sponsorship can be given at any amount, but a company’s logo will be placed on all event-related signs, banners and T-shirts for those who donate $100 or more.”
Music scene heats up at TLCAWildWood Station, John Adams Band coming to centerBy Danny [email protected]
Temperatures may be dip-ping, but the Tri-Lakes music scene is heating up.
Two special acts are coming to the area over the next few weeks. On Oct. 12, WireWood Station headlines Bluegrass, Beer and BBQ.
The event starts at 6 p.m. and ends at 9 p.m. at the Tri-Lakes Center for the Arts. Tickets range from $8 to $12.
On Nov. 1, the John Adams Band will awe listeners with a John Denver Tribune Concert at the Tri-Lakes Center for the Arts. Doors open at 6 p.m. with the concert beginning at 7 p.m. Tick-ets are $15 to $20.
Bluegrass, Beer and BBQ will feature $3 beer specials and $5 barbecue sandwiches and cole-slaw while WireWood Station
entertains folks with its unique blend of bluegrass music with a twist.
WireWood Station consists of Casey Cherry, Michelle Edwards, Herb Wetzel and Darin T. Whit-son.
WireWood Station’s mem-bers have performed all over the United States including stages in New York, Chicago, Branson and Nashville.
In August, WireWood Station was part of the Tri-Lakes Music Festival, which was headlined by Charlie Daniels. WireWood Sta-tion plays its own unique version of Daniels’s signature song “The Devil Went Down to Georgia.”
Edwards, the band’s violin-ist, has performed at the Lin-coln Center and Carnegie Hall, and has been a studio musician in Nashville. She has also per-formed with legendary Las Vegas entertainer Wayne Newton.
The John Adams Band has been providing audiences with an authentic John Denver tribute concert for nearly two decades.
They perform the music the way it was written, recorded and performed by the late Denver
himself. Their motto with the music is,
“If it’s not broke, don’t fix it.”The group has vowed to
never let the music of the Rocky Mountain legend be forgotten. The John Adams Band brings the music alive with classic hits like, “Annie’s Song,” “Sunshine on my Shoulders,” Leaving on a Jet Plane,” and “Thank God, I’m a Country Boy.”
John Adams met with Denver over a dozen times to talk about their experiences in China, love for guitars and concern about the environment.
Adams interweaves the stories he and John shared throughout the concert.
The John Adams Band has performed all over the world, including the prestigious Red Rocks Amphitheater. Adams had the privilege to perform with Denver in 1988, during a televi-sion special in Europe. Together they performed a duet of “Whis-pering Jesse.”

Students want to see Palmer Lake restored other students get involved.”
Nolan said she talks to people all the time that have no idea what is going on with the lake. By the students getting involved it helps create more awareness.
One fun activity that the whole family will enjoy and will help raise money for the committee is the upcoming haunted hay-ride at the lake. The event will take place starting at 6 p.m. on Oct. 31. The hayride is geared towards older children, but there will be spooky stories, face painting and candy for the younger ones beginning at 4 p.m. by the gazebo.
Nolan has enlisted the help of the LPMS students as well as high school students to dress up as zombies and help sell hot chocolate. The hay ride will be $8 but Nolan said the students will help distribute $2 off coupons.
The LPMS students hosted an ice skating night at the Colorado Sports Center in Sep-tember and hope to host another one soon. The plan to make posters and write content for the Awake Palmer Lake website.
Creek district. There were several trains with Pullman cars that did pass through the county on the Colorado Midland with stops at Woodland Park, Divide and Floris-sant.
The idea that the sheriff might do the same to other cars passing through the county gave considerable worry to the Pullman Co. and the railroad. Indeed the county treasurer let it be known that it was his intention to have the sheriff go to Divide and attach any Pullman cars that came through. This could probably bring endless suits brought by patrons who might be in the cars and would be detained
at Divide.The solution came two days later when
the Pullman sleeping car “Chamita” still sitting about 80 feet north of the Cripple Creek depot was released. It was attached to a Midland passenger train and pulled to Divide. Deputy U.S. Marshal Thomas Clark had arrived from Denver and served an or-der of release upon Robertson and County Treasurer Duncan McNeill.
The Pullman Palace Car Co. had posted a bond and the car was released. The Pull-man Co. paid plenty of taxes to Colorado and was not amused by this action. The company began an action against the county to recover damages on the grounds that the car was unlawfully detained. I understand that eventually an agreement was made and things quieted down on both sides.
In 1939, at the tail-end of the Depres-sion, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, hoping to boost the economy by providing shoppers and merchants a few extra days to conduct business between the Thanks-giving and Christmas holidays, moved Thanksgiving to November’s third Thurs-
day. In 1941, however, Roosevelt bowed to Congress’ insistence that the fourth Thurs-day of November be re-set permanently as the offi cial Thanksgiving holiday.
Now back to the Pilgrims. Nobody knows exactly when the Pilgrims cel-ebrated that fi rst Thanksgiving, but it likely occurred somewhere between September and December. That fi rst event lasted three days.
It was attended by about 50 Pilgrims and as many as 90 Native Americans, who,
by the way, were not invited.The Indians just kind of showed up with
all sorts of food and gifts. Actually, that’s kind of how it works today with relatives.
The term “Happy Thanksgiving” didn’t really take off until the 1880s. By the 1930s, the event really started to gain momen-tum. The Detroit Lions decided to host an annual football game on that day.
Today Thanksgiving is one of the big-gest annual events. Three NFL games are now played. Huge Hollywood blockbust-
ers are released that night. “Black Friday” begins for many at the bewitching hour.
I don’t really mind Thanksgiving the way it is now - minus Black Friday. It has a special meaning to me. The three or four days leading up the Big Dance (Turkey Day) seem to mark the beginning to the festive holiday season.
But lest we forget, this is only October. The Great Pumpkin has not even arrived yet. Oh, what the heck. Happy Thanksgiv-ing!

VA � nalizes land acquisition agreement Sta� report
The Department of Veterans Affairs has announced that it has executed a sales agreement to purchase land for a National Veterans Cemetery in South-ern Colorado. It will next engage in the fi nal steps to complete a formal property acquisition.
“This welcome and long overdue news represents a signifi cant step to-ward fi nally building a cemetery vet-erans in southern Colorado can call their own,” Sen. Michael Bennet said. “We’re grateful to our troops, our vet-
erans and our military families for ev-erything they’ve done on behalf of our country. It’s time we delivered on this promise.”
The Pikes Peak area has one of the highest concentrations of veterans in the country, estimated at more than 100,000. This new cemetery will help ease demand for space at existing fa-cilities while signifi cantly reducing the cost and distance of travel for families of fallen soldiers.
The new cemetery will also enable veterans who reside in Southern Colo-rado to be buried near the communi-ties they call home.
Bennet led efforts in Washington to bring the cemetery to Southern Colo-rado. In March 2009, he introduced a bill with Sen. Mark Udall to create a cemetery in El Paso County. The fol-lowing year, he and then-Representa-tive John Salazar met with Secretary for Veterans Affairs Eric Shinseki to discuss the issue and shortly thereaf-ter, the President’s FY2011 budget in-cluded language for establishing such a cemetery.
In 2012, Bennet convened a meet-ing of the Southern Colorado Veterans Cemetery Committee to receive feed-back on potential site locations.

Tri-Lakes area represented well at state Nine local players vied for top honors By Danny Summers [email protected]
Nine Tri-Lakes area golfers competed in last week’s state golf championships.
The finals were help Sept. 30 and Oct. 1 at various ven-ues around the state.
The Classical Academy sophomore Noah Shin and St. Mary’s junior Jakob Bucher (a resident of Flying Horse) had the best finishes of any area golfers. They both ended up tied for 40th at the Class 3A state meet at Pueblo Coun-try Club.
Shin, a two-time state qualifier, had a two-day total of 171 (85-86, 29 over par). He was 57th at state as a fresh-man.
“Noah never really got it going,” said TCA coach Bob Gravelle about Shin. “He had really nice strokes. He had six pars on his last nine, but that was mixed in with two double bogeys.”
Bucher fell out of contention for the title on Day 1 when he shot a 91. But he regrouped and came back with a solid 80 on Day 2.
TCA senior Josh Gordon finished tied for 53rd. Gor-don was originally an alternate, but he found out about before the tournament that he would be able to play at state. He shot a 92 on Day 1, but came back with a solid 83 on Day 2 of the tournament.
“Josh had some nice shots the second day,” Gravelle
said. “It was a good comeback for him.”One other area golfer also played in the 3A tourna-
ment; Jimmy Velten, a St. Mary’s student who lives in Fox Run. Velten finished 67th with a two-day total of 182 (91-91).
Basalt’s Tristan Rohrbaugh won the 3A tournament at 1-under par. His two-day total included five birdies, 27 pars and four bogeys.
The 4A tournament was held at Hiwan Golf Club in Evergreen. Lewis-Palmer junior Marcus Fenimore had the best finish of the five area 4A golfers. He finished 56th
with a two-day total of 175 (92-83).Fenimore was sharp on Day 2, scoring three pars on
the front nine and six on the back. His downfall came on Day 1 when he shot a 49 (14-over par) on the back nine. The course was par-70.
Discovery Canyon’s Owen Pavogel, originally an alter-nate, finished in 61st place after firing a 177 (86-91). His Thunder teammate, Jacob Trujillo, was tied for 76th (190, 88-102).
Palmer Ridge also had two golfers at state. Devin Bruecken was tied for 62nd (178, 92-86) and Pierce Delacretaz was 71st (185, 89-96). Bruecken scored two birdies on Day 2.
Coronado sophomore Isaac Petersilie won the 4A title at 4-over par. He played very consistent golf, scoring five birdies and 22 pars over two days. He had nine bogeys and no double bogeys.

First ‘Don’t be a Zombie’ event draws 240 Citizens educated on emergency preparedness tools, strategies Sta� report
The kickoff zombie avoidance event
brought hundreds of runners to Fox Run Park recently, as well educated hundreds more about being preprared in case of a disaster.
Thanks to the response of partici-pants and the contributions of many vol-unteers and County staff, El Paso Coun-
ty’s inaugural “Be Prepared ... Don’t Be A Zombie” event was a success.
Two-hundred forty runners tempted the “undead” in the zombie runs on Sept. 28 at Fox Run Regional Park.
“Laughter mixed with screams and zombie groans were heard around Fox Run Regional Park,” said Todd Marts, recreation and cultural services division manager for El Paso County. “Feedback from the participants has been wonder-ful. People had a great time running in a beautiful park on a perfect fall day.”
Seventy runners participated in the more traditional 5K, which was the first run of the day. This was followed by the “heat races,” where runners were chal-lenged along the course by “zombies” in ominous makeup. In addition to the 310
runners, 40 volunteers served as zombies and helped with the event, surpassing the initial projection of 200 participants.
The event was designed to showcase the need for all residents to develop their own family and workplace emergency preparedness plans.
“The goal of providing a fun run to ex-pose and educate citizens to emergency preparedness tools and strategies was not only met but exceeded the expecta-tions of many,” said Commissioner Peggy Littleton.
“Citizens embraced the concept of being personally prepared and learned how to build a 10-minute, one-hour and one-day evacuation plan as well as how to shelter in place for an extended period of time.”
Hundreds of runners showed Saturday to outrun the undead in an event designed to call attention to preparing for disasters. Photos by Rob Carrigan
