Arrest made related to gun that killed director ClementsWoman purchased gun and allegedly transfered it to Evan EbelBy Lisa [email protected]
The Colorado Bureau of Investigation has arrested a 22-year-old Commerce City woman for illegally transferring the firearm used in the shooting death of De-partment of Corrections director Tom Cle-ments.
Stevie Marie Vigil was arrested on March 27 and is being held at the Arapa-hoe County Jail on $25,000 bond.
She is charged with one count of an un-
lawful purchase of a fire-arm, a class four felony.
Investigators believe that Vigil purchased the firearm from a licensed firearms dealer in Engle-wood, and allegedly trans-ferred the gun to Evan Spencer Ebel, 28, in what
is known as a “straw purchase.” Because Ebel was a convicted felon, he could not legally possess a firearm.
The weapon was recovered in Texas after Ebel was involved in a shootout and car chase with law enforcement on March 21.
Ebel shot a deputy after being pulled over. Ballistic testing done by the Colorado Springs Metro Crime Lab determined that
the gun Ebel used to shoot at law enforcement officials in Texas, was the same gun used to kill Clements.
Clements was killed March 19 after he answered the door at his home. Ebel died in the hospital, after sustaining a headwound
during the shootout.Investigators are still trying to deter-
mine what motive was behind the shoot-ing of Clements. Some news outlets are speculating that it may have been a hit, ordered from prison from members of the 211 prison gang, a white supremacist gang.
Ebel was reportedly, a member of the 211 gang. He was released from
prison in January.However, Sgt. Joe Roybal, public infor-
mation officer for El Paso Sheiffs Office, said the sheriff’s office has never said that the 211 gang may have ordered the hit.
“We are looking into all associations of Evan Ebel. We are trying to determine if he acted alone or if he did it in conjunction with his associations,” Roybal said.
Ebel is also suspected of killing Domi-no’s Pizza delivery driver Nathan Leon, in Denver on March 17. A Domino’s jacket, as well as a pizza box warmer, was found in Ebel’s car.

I-25 postponed and rescheduledInclement weather postponed the start date of expansion project by four daysBy Lisa [email protected]
The first phase of the Interstate 25 ex-pansion project scheduled to start on March 24 was postponed due to a snow storm that hit the area that weekend.
The project was delayed four days but was able to proceed on March 28 with re-striping and other tasks in preparation for concrete barriers to be put in place start-ing April 1.
The barriers will be put on outside lanes of both north and southbound I-25 and create a protected work zone.
The Colorado Department of Transpor-tation (CDOT) said barrier placement will be done Sunday through Thursday and will take up to three weeks, depending on the weather. Drivers can expect single lane closures from 8:30 p.m. to 5:30 a.m.
The two areas to be worked on first will be to reduce the number of northbound through traffic lanes from three to two between Woodmen Road and the North Academy Boulevard interchange. The Bri-argate Boulevard interchange to just north of the Interquest Parkway interchange traf-fic will shift toward the highway median as crews prepare to demolish and rebuild the outside lanes of the Black Squirrel Creek Bridge just north of Interquest Parkway.
The Ackerman Overlook on south-bound I-25 just north of the Briargate Bou-levard exit will close on April 1. CDOT says the overlook will be reconstructed north of the current location at a later date.
The expansion project will expand 11 miles of the interstate between Woodmen Road and Colo. 105 in Monument to three lanes in both directions. The project is expected to be complete by December of 2014.
For questions or comments call the project hotline at 719-247-8339. Project in-formation is available at www.southi25ex-pansion.com.

The fire department has two main fund-raisers a year, the pancake breakfast and the chili supper, to help bring in money for the fire department. The fire department has a limited budget from the town of Palmer Lake that helps pay for training, insurance, maintenance of fire trucks and equipment and other expenses.
“This will all go towards gear,” Capt. Abby Vierling said of the proceeds from the luncheon.
Vierling hopes the fundraiser will be a huge success.
Reservations are encouraged and can be made at [email protected], but walk-ins are welcome. Texas Roadhouse encourages everyone to support the fire department.

Fire� ghters battle garage � re Hampered by snow, cold, explosions By Norma Engelberg [email protected]
Firefi ghters from seven fi re departments and districts converged on a structure fi re 4200 block of Walker Road that destroyed a garage and two vehicles. According to the Tri-Lakes Monument Fire Protection Dis-trict, the fi re started just before 10 p.m. on March 24.
“We got the call at 10:10 p.m. and dis-patch told us that the attached garage and two vehicles were fully involved,” said the district’s acting Chief Bryan Jack. “The fi re extended into a loft above the garage and into the house. There was a lot of smoke damage on the home’s second fl oor.”
A lot of factors hampered fi refi ghters that night, including explosions of un-known origins emanating from the garage.
“The cause of the explosions hasn’t been determined,” Jack said. “The road was icy with snowpack and six inches of new snow. The address was on Walker Road but there was a mile and a half of narrow dirt road just to get to the driveway. … An El Paso County Department of Transportation road grader stayed with us the whole time, keep-ing the road open.”
Another problem was that the area doesn’t have hydrants.
“We had to form a water shuttle using tenders,” Jack said. “And it was so cold, only about 5 degrees, that some of our fi re hoses froze. There were also some trees near the house.”
Other fi refi ghting agencies responding with Tri-Lakes Monument Fire included Palmer Lake, Larkspur, Black Forest, Don-
ald Wescott, Falcon, Franktown and the area fi re rehab unit that provides water, food and shelter to fi refi ghters.
“Colorado Springs Fire Department and American Medical Response moved up to cover Tri-Lakes Monument and Wescott while we fought the fi re,” Jack said. “We
had the fi re fully contained at about 1 a.m. Monday and it was controlled by 5 a.m. but it wasn’t out until 12:30 p.m.”
The El Paso County Sheriff’s Offi ce fi re investigators are still investigating the cause of the fi re.
“Without a cause we don’t have a fi re
safety message to go with this fi re,” Jack added. “Messages like keep your chimneys clean, don’t store fl ammable materials near heaters and keep portable heaters away from curtains. All good things to remember but we don’t know if any of them apply to this fi re.”

Flowers for Felines hosts fundraiserSpecial to The Tribune
Spring is almost here and that means that the traditional kitten sea-son is fast approaching! It also means an outpouring of funds from the Wild Blue Animal Rescue and Sanctuary’s budget to go toward spay and neu-ter surgeries costs and other medical needs for these little cuties.
Wild Blue’s spring fundraiser is a flower bulb and plant sale through an organization called FlowerPower Fundraising, www.flowerpowerfund-raising.com.
Purchase top-quality flowers and bulbs and any of these beautiful gar-dening products: freesias, dahlias, lilies, gladiolus, buttercups, sunflow-ers and more by going to this spe-cialized Wild Blue order page http://www.flowerpowerfundraising.com/i/t/321094/Y6FM9481Y0BF. Orders will be shipped directly for only $5!
“FlowerPower has a wonderful se-lection of bulbs and rooted plants,”
said Lauri Cross, executive director of Wild Blue. “This will be Wild Blue’s third year participating in `Flowers for Felines’ and the sanctuary will re-ceive 50 percent of all sales.”
Since opening in 2010 Wild Blue has rescued more than 425 dogs, cats and kittens.
The number of cats highly out-weighs the number of dogs with more than 320 cats rescued and adopted out. 2012 saw the number of dogs and cats rescued and placed into lov-ing homes at over 195 with nearly all of those animals being cats.
“There are many animals out there who need saving and that’s what we’re all about,” said Cross.
For more information contact Wild Blue at (719) 964-8905.
Additionally the Wild Blue Ani-mal Rescue and Sanctuary recently received a $4,000 grant from the Best Friends Animal Society, www.bestfriends.org, to lead a six month Trap-Neuter-Return coalition project called The Fix Is On! that will focus on
spaying and neutering 200 feral cats outside Colorado Springs city limits. The operation will primarily focus on the 80908, 80911, 80915, 80917, 80926 and 80831 zip codes.
The term feral, or wild, cat sim-ply means that the cat is living in an outdoor colony with multiple other cats and very little human interac-tion. Some people refer to them as al-ley cats. “Feral cats are a man-made problem,” said Cross. “The problem begins with irresponsible cat guard-ians who for one reason or the other dump their intact pet cats outside to roam around breeding and creating more cats.
Wild Blue Animal Rescue & Sanc-tuary is a nonprofit, no-kill rescue located in Black Forest and founded in 2010.
Our mission is to save the precious lives of cats, dogs and horses that are abandoned, abused, neglected or surrendered and to find them perma-nent homes or provide them with a lifetime of sanctuary.

Colorado arrives early to the moviesThe truth is, Thomas Edison liked to
play hardball when it came to patents. He could, and did, wear people out by bringing law suits against them, and came to dominate the movie industry. William Selig, the father of Hollywood, was no exception.
But in the early days, you could say Colorado was bigger than Hollywood, in the eyes and lens of filmmakers. “Colorado has been the location of choice for filmmakers for well over 110 years. The earliest filmmaking in Colorado dates to 1897 when the “Festival of the Mountain & Plain” was filmed,”according to the Colo-rado Office of Film, Television and Media. “Many feature films followed immediately thereafter. Since then, hundreds of other filmmakers have come to Colorado to shoot such notable films as “True Grit”, “Cat Ballou”, “How The West Was Won”, “The Searchers”, “Sleeper”, “City Slickers” and “Thelma & Louise”.
H.H. “Buck” Buckwalter, the western agent for the Selig-Polyscope Company of Chicago who made short films in Colorado from 1904 to 1909 is a case in point. Some of Buckwalter’s films starred Gilbert M. Anderson before his “Bronco Billy” days. Another Selig troupe arrived in 1911 in-cluded future cowboy star Tom Mix. In his book “Hollywood Colorado - The Selig Polyscope Company and the Colo-rado Motion Picture Company,” David Em-rich, a film and video editor in Denver who spent 15 years researching the Colorado film industry, tells stories of Tom Mix and his buddies shooting lemons off the glasses in local bars to see who would buy drinks, and relays the legend of the night Mix hid in the awning of the Elk’s Club so his angry wife could not find her errant husband. Actors behaving badly, apparently, is noth-ing new.
Mix and others in his troupe risked their lives to make movies in Colorado, accord-ing to Emrich, and he notes Mix endured multiple stays local hospitals during this period of his career. Selig company soon left Colorado for the promise of 300 days of sunshine and a wider variety of scen-ery established Southern California’s first permanent movie studio, in the historic Edendale district of Los Angeles.
The formation of the Colorado Motion Picture Company in 1913 by former Selig employee Otis Thayer, who selected Cañon City because of scenery, and finnancial support via the local sale of $5,000 in stock on the first day of the company’s existence, is also related in Emrich’s book.
But the company was not destined to last long.
The drowning deaths of star Grace McHugh and cameraman Owen Carter during a river-crossing scene in “Across the Border” (1914), and the resultant law suits from the families, bankrupted the com-pany and virtually put an end to filming in Colorado for nearly 30 years.
McHugh, as many actors and actresses at that time, did many, or all, of their own stunts, and was riding along the Arkansas River, when her horse spooked and tossed her in the river. Carter jumped in to try and save her, and almost did, but ended up being carried away in the swift current as well. Their bodies were found separately, days later, downsteam.
But back to Edison, Selig, Buckwalter and Mix.
“Edison assembled representatives of the nation’s biggest movie companies—Biograph, Vitagraph, American Mutoscope, and seven others—and invited them to sign a monopolistic peace treaty,” writes Matthew Lasar in ARS/technica. Starting in 1891, after he filed his first patent on a motion picture camera/film system, his lawyers had launched aggressive infringe-ment suits against others
“But the old man wanted it all, so he as-sembled his rivals and proposed that they join his Motion Picture Patents Company. It would function as a holding operation for the participants’ collective patents—sixteen all told, covering projectors, cam-
eras, and film stock. MPPC would issue licenses and collect royalties from movie producers, distributors, and exhibitors,” Lasar says.
“To top it all off, MPPC convinced the Eastman Kodak company to refuse to sell raw film stock to anyone but Patent Company licensees, a move designed to shut French and German footage out of the country”
“Make no mistake, had Thomas Edison succeeded in this scheme, he would have killed the motion picture industry or at least delayed its flowering by a generation. The good news is that the Patents Com-pany foundered for a couple of years, then was declared in violation of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act by a federal court,” writes Lasar.
As for William Selig and Selig Polyscope Company, he and the company produced hundreds of early, widely distributed commercial moving pictures, including the first films starring Tom Mix, Harold Lloyd, Colleen Moore, and Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle. The business gradually became a struggling zoo attraction in Los Angeles as it ended film production in 1918.
Denver blogger Brad Weismann notes the connections.
“Selig recruited pioneer Denver still photographer H. H. “Buck” Buckwalter as his cameraman. By 1902, Buckwalter had begun his work for Selig on dozens of short films. He took footage of local sights -- “Ar-rival on Summit of Pike’s Peak,” “Runaway Stage Coach,” and “Panorama of Denver from Balloon at Elitch’s.” In a promotional stunt, Buckwalter advertised the mild climate by filming Denverites strolling 17th Street in their shirtsleeves one January day in 1905 (after unexpected snow canceled a couple of earlier tries). “Denver in Winter” may rank as one of history’s first filmed commercials,” Weismann writes.
“Hot on the heels of the smash success of the first Western, pioneering Edison director Edwin S. Porter’s 1903 “The Great Train Robbery,” Buckwalter photographed Colorado’s first narrative film, a tale of violence and mob retribution -- “Tracked by Bloodhounds; or, A Lynching at Cripple Creek”. The true Western hadn’t arrived out West yet, however. A man would shortly be
arriving from Chicago who would change all that -- the creator of the cowboy hero, “Bronco Billy” Anderson.,” he says.
“In 1907, the ambitious Anderson went to Selig and convinced him to lend him funds and Selig’s Denver filming crew in order to make authentic Westerns on loca-tion, working in the Golden/Morrison area. Displeased with the results, he split with Selig and formed Essanay Studios with George K. Spoor, proprietor of the Na-tional Film Renting Company in Chicago. Anderson returned to Denver in the fall of 1909 with money, equipment, and a small company of actors. Here the inventive, resourceful Anderson began rehearsing the ideas and techniques that would culminate in the wildly popular adventures of Bronco Billy.”
The Denver Post described the outfit’s activities during the making of “The Heart of a Cowboy” in 1909: “G.M. Anderson ... has been in Denver for six weeks, `making pictures’ ... ‘Colorado is the finest place in the country for Wild West stuff’ (stated Anderson) ... the company reached Mt. Morrison at 9, where the train was met by a bunch of trained cow ponies and riders un-der the command of the Morrison brothers themselves.”
The Morrison brothers, Pete, Chick, Carl, and Bob, grandsons of the town of Morrison’s founder, George, took to the lu-crative pay and the excitement of slapping pictures together, Weisman writes. Interestingly enough, an unrelated young actor named Marion Morrison, nervous about being overshadowed by the Mor-rison legacy, decided to use the name John Wayne instead.
Tom Mix went on to make more than 160 cowboy films throughout the 1920s. Mix appeared with the Sells-Floto Circus in 1929, 1930 and 1931 at a reported weekly salary of $20,000.
The actor was killed in an auto accident by a large aluminum suitcase, (filled with cash, jewels, and travelers checks) when he wrecked his 1937 Cord 812 Phaeton between Tucson and Phoenix. The heavy suitcase flew forward and shattered his skull and broke his neck when he tried to stop quickly at barriers at a washed out bridge.
running on stress overloadEveryone deals with stress in their life
at some point, and a little bit of it usually doesn’t hurt.
In fact, a little stress can help. It gives us that boost we need, to give us the drive to get things done.
But then there is the stress that’s not so good for you. Some people get so stressed out about things and situations, that it literally makes them sick.
And if its stress that lasts over a long period of time, it’s known as chronic stress.
Things that cause chronic stress can be family situations, such as a divorce, or problems with a child, work, school, finances, unemployment, and even an illness.
According to www.medicine.net, stress can affect the entire body. When stressed, the body’s defense goes into a mode known as the “fight or flight” response.
Also known as stress response, ac-cording to www.helpguide.org/mental/stress_signs.htm. The stress response is the body’s way of protecting itself. It helps to stay focused, alert or energetic, and provides strength to defend.
However, it comes to a certain point, when stress is no longer helpful, and instead can cause harm.
The body releases the hormone cortisol, and adrenaline, which cause increased heart rate and blood pressure. It also increases the amount of glucose in the blood. Cortisol suppresses the im-mune system.
Symptoms of chronic stress can be physical, cognitive, behavioral and emo-tional.
They include anxiety, depression, an-ger and hostility and heart irregularities. It can also include insomnia, body aches, agitation, moodiness, upset stomach, headache, backache, rash or hives, feeling
fatigued or run-down, digestion prob-lems, weight loss and poor concentration, constant worry, feeling overwhelmed, increased use of drugs, or alcohol, and isolation from others.
When I get really stressed, I tend to get insomnia and have digestion problems. I feel agitated and overwhelmed and I lose my appetite, which causes me to lose weight and I feel extreme anxiety. The anxiety gets so bad, it borders a feeling of panic.
My stomach gets a fluttery feeling, like butterflies, and I will get shaky. I’ve had hives in the past.
Right now I’m on stress overload, and I think I have been for some time. Help-guide.org says that the most dangerous thing about stress is how it can creep up on a person.
People get used to it, it starts to feel fa-miliar, and people don’t realize the heavy toll it is taking on them.
A survey done in 2010, by the American Psychological Association, reports that more than 40 percent of adults surveyed, lie awake at night because of stress. The APA said the key to managing stress, is to recognize and change behaviors that cause it.
I’m starting to realize that I need to do that. I need to pull on the reigns and take a step back from things that cause stress. Eating healthier, and taking vitamins wouldn’t hurt either.
Letter to the editorupholding journalistic standards
Dear Mr. Carrigan,I would like to thank you for upholding
the standards of journalism in your recent coverage of the slaying of my neighbor, Tom Clements. Numerous reports were made by the media, both print and televi-sion during this troubling time, that were based on rumor, speculation and fear, which did not truly reflect the facts. Your story in the Tribune gave the reader only the facts, with direct quotes from officials, detectives and those most closely associ-ated with the case.
This standard of checking the details of a story before releasing them to the public, used to be the standard in journalism, whether it was by the Washington Post or Walter Cronkite. Sadly, with instant inter-net news and round the clock tv reporting, this standard has given way to being the “first” with a story, whether it is factually true or not.
I commend you for not resorting to this new form of reporting and for giving the public news we can count on to be true.
Thank you,Nancy Bonig, Monument

To my mom, with thanks If we’re fortunate, someone in our
lives, a parent, a teacher, an author or even a boss, has inspired us.
My biggest inspiration is my mother. Her cooking was nothing to write home about but the rest of her was worth reams of letters.
Mom, Teresa Frances, was born in a house in what is now Old Colorado City. Her parents’ home was one of the fi rst houses in the neighbor-hood and Grandma Stella was also a Colorado native, born in Silver Cliff. Her parents came to Colorado in the 1860s after eloping.
I’m not a native; I was born in Wisconsin along with two younger brothers. Grandpa Daniel wasn’t a na-tive either; he came to Colorado from Illinois after serving in World War I.
Mom graduated in 1944 from Colorado Springs High School (now Palmer High School and my alma mater) and made carburetors during World War II at a converted ball-bearing plant in Colorado Springs. She was also a single mother with two sons from a fi rst marriage.
She married my dad, William H., when he was stationed at Fort Carson in the early 1950s. A day after the cer-
emony they left Colorado for Camp Lucas, Wis.
This was the fi rst time Mom had ever been out of state. Their fi rst stop was at dad’s parents’ home in Michigan. These were the days before almost everyone had phones and Dad was never much of a letter writer. Grandma and Grandpa Gibbs didn’t know they were coming.
I think Grandma Gibbs was one of Mom’s inspirations. I recall Mom say-ing: “She always treated the boys like they were her real grandchildren.”
That was just how Mom and Dad treated kids, anybody’s kids: like fam-ily. Along with my own four brothers, there were a lot of “adopted” brothers leaning over car engines and building forts in the back yard when I was a teenager.
Mom persevered through decades of being an Army wife, dragging hearth and home, and several chil-dren, across country at the whims of the U.S. government.
Whether it was the Wisconsin prai-ries, snowy Sault Ste Marie, Mich., or sweaty, dirty, snake- and bug-infested Fort Polk, La., (Let me tell you how I really feel about Fort Polk!) she always made it a home.
Mom rarely had a bad word for anyone but she could be tough; on occasion her vocabulary would have made a sailor blush (she learned that from Dad, who certainly didn’t learn from his strict Lutheran parents.)
She was also tender. She didn’t have to say, “This will hurt me more than it hurts you.” When she pun-ished you she cried right along with you.
I’m sure I was a bit of a trial to her but I always knew she loved me. She taught me to be kind and conscien-tious, to ask questions and not to let the odds against success stop me from trying.
I owe everything I am to her. She’ll be gone 20 years this summer and I’ll always miss her. Thanks Mom!
A lifetime train pass for Mr. William Goat I recently had a call from a railroad
collector friend of mine. He was told a story about a railroad pass but he didn’t really believe it. I had to tell him, as far as I know the story is true, as I had read in a 1907 Leadville newspaper the real tale!
A railroad pass was a business-sized card that allowed the holder to ride for free on a train. In most cases these were given to offi cials of friendly railroads and even allowed them to bring their family or even their own private railroad car. General William Palmer received dozens of these cards or passes each year. They have become quite collect-able. Most were good for one trip but
some were good for a year.This particular pass was unique be-
cause of its purpose and to whom it was issued. Many a crippled former employ-ee or retiree received a complementary pass. This pass, which may be in some-one’s collection, was probably lost or worn out.
The pass was issued by the Colorado Midland railway in 1907 to Mr. William Goat. It was noted to be a “lifetime” pass. It actually came in a little leather car-rier, because Mr. Goat did not have any pockets. He lived in the mountains high above Leadville. His job in life was car-ing for a fl ock of sheep but he seemed to occasionally desire the lights of the city.
He had slipped onto Midland trains as they were stopped on the mountain pass. The crew, when they saw him, were more concerned for his safety than his fare. They told the tale often enough that the offi cials in Leadville obtained permission for the pass. The pass be-came more of an offi cial recognition.

Pastel society brings “Springtime to the Rockies”Art exhibit to be at TLCA April 2-13By Lisa [email protected]
It’s springtime in the Rockies! The calendar says so, and plants and trees are starting to awaken from their dormant state.
It’s also the name of the new-est art exhibit by the Pikes Peak Pastel Society. “Springtime in the Rockies” will be on exhibit from April 2-13 at the Tri-Lakes Center
for the Arts with an opening re-ception taking place April 5. The exhibit and reception are free and open to the public.
Pegi Ballenger, one of the founding members of the Pikes Peak Pastel Society, said this will be the first time they have had an exhibit at TLCA in several years and they are looking forward to being there.
“It’s a part of town we haven’t reached,” Ballenger said.
Ballenger said the society was
formed in 2000 as a way for art-ists that use pastels to learn from each other and to expose people in the region to the medium. They currently have 30 mem-bers.
“A lot of people don’t know about pastels,” Ballenger added.
She said many people are fa-miliar with oils and other medi-ums, but not pastels.
When most people think of pastels, they think of colors as-sociated with spring and Easter, but Ballenger said a pastel is al-
most pure pigment. Pastels are a pure powder pigment and a binder.
“They are so much fun to work with. That’s how we get those rich colors,” she said.
Ballenger was an art major in college and said she learned how to use oils, charcoals, water colors and other mediums, but didn’t learn how to use pastels until later.
She said she loves it now and said pastels are the perfect medi-um when painting “en plein air,”
also known as open air.The Pikes Peak Pastel Soci-
ety has two to three exhibits a year in the Pueblo and Colorado Springs area.
They are a member of the In-ternational Association of Pastel Societies and occasionally host workshops for their members, inviting well known pastelists to show different techniques.
The opening reception will take place at 6 p.m., April 5. Original paintings are available for purchase.
Pastel paintings by members of the Pikes Peak Pastel Society will be available for purchase during the art exhibit “Springtime in the Rockies” at the Tri-Lakes Center for the Arts. Paintings like the one pictured “Barn and Grain Bin” by Margaret Zimbrick, will be on display April 2-13. Courtesy photos
Pastel paintings like “Little Dancer” by Judy Michael Myers have vibrant rich colors. The members of the Pikes Peak Pastel Society will have their work on exhibit and for sale at the Tri-Lakes Center for the Arts April 2-13.

The “New” MHC - Where Grace and Truth Abound
Meadowgrass returns Memorial weekend Tickets on sale, musicians plan workshops By Lisa Collacott [email protected]
Summer season once again kicks off with the annual Meadowgrass Music Festi-val in Black Forest.
The outdoor music festival features three days of bluegrass, indie folk, alt-country, funk, gypsy jazz, gospel, Americana, blues and rock-n-roll. New this year: workshops with the musicians, and evening concerts inside the historic Ponderosa Lodge.
For fi ve years the La Foret Conference and Retreat Center has put on the music festival every Memorial weekend, and each year it continues to grow.
Day passes to the festival will be sold, and festival goers can also tent camp on the grounds of La Foret.

Bears ready to give girls lacrosse another chancePalmer Ridge is young, but talentedBy Danny [email protected]
MONUMENT – For the Palmer Ridge girls lacrosse team, training involves mor-ethan a stick and a ball. Sometimes a hike up the Manitou Incline is the best way to start a day.
“The girls make it to the top a little faster than I do,” said Bears coach Don Bryant. “But we all have a great time doing it.”
Bryant is in his first season as the team’s head coach.
He brings a wealth of experience to the program, including the last four years as an assistant. He also runs the Rangers Lacrosse club program that includes 60 girls from second through eighth grades.
The Bears are off to a 4-1 start with victo-ries over Grandview (12-1), Cherokee Trail (11-10), Denver East (13-11) and Summit (18-3). Their loss was to Chaparral (15-10).
“We’re really young this year,” Bryant said. “We’ve done well so far, but it’s prob-ably going to take us a year or two to come together and gel.”
Bryant is taking a conservative approach to things. That’s probably because he has no seniors on the team, and just a handful of players who saw any significant time last year.
“We lost 13 seniors,” Bryant said. “It’s probably going to be a tough fight for us.
“My goal is to make this team a state
champion. I think we’ll get there.”While Bryant may not be setting lofty
goals for this season, his players certainly are shooting for the moon.
“I think we can make it back to state this year,” said junior co-captain Rachael Braaten, who plays midfield. “We devote so much time to the sport.
“We have some amazing sophomores and amazing freshmen on the team. And we all seem to click on and off the field.”
Braaten is one of the more electrifying players on the team. She has six goals and four assists. The other co-captain, junior Briana Knop, is a top defensive player on the team.
Sophomore midfielder Rachel Bryant (the coach’s daughter) leads the Bears in scoring with 13 goals. She scored a season-high four goals twice against Cherokee Trail and Denver East.
“The first couple of games we played as individuals, and then we started bond-ing and getting along better,” Bryant said. “I think we could give Chaparral a run for their money now.”
The Bears have a balanced scoring at-tack. Sophomore midfielder Ashley Walker
has 10 goals and four assists, followed by junior attack Morgan
Wolfe (8 goals) and junior midfielder Morgan Cogburn (7 goals, 3 assists). Fresh-men Mary Koch and Ali Walker (Morgan’s sister) have six goals and five goals, respec-tively.
“We have a good offense, but we have to get back more and help out on defense,” Rachel Bryant said. “Sometimes we attack and don’t get back as well as we should.”
The Bears play in the highly competitive Southern Girls Lacrosse Conference. It in-cludes defending state-champion Air Acad-emy and powerful Cheyenne Mountain.
Palmer Ridge finished second in the league last season behind Air Academy. The solid campaign also marked the first time a Bears team had ever defeated Cheyenne Mountain.
“I think we can beat Air Academy this year,” Braaten said. “I just have so much confidence in our players and our skills.”
Palmer Ridge plays at Air Academy on April 12 and hosts Cheyenne Moun-tain April 30. The Bears are at Rampart on Thursday in their first league match of the season.
Tri-Lakes girls golfers hit the linksArea golfers shooting for stateBy Danny [email protected]
MONUMENT – Frigid temperatures and snow usually cause the high school girls golf season to start about a month later than other spring sports.
Now that warmer weather is in the fore-cast, players from around the Tri-Lakes area are hitting the links. Their goal is to shoot near par and qualify for next month’s state tournament.
“Over spring break I tell the girls to spend most of their time chipping because that can save a lot of strokes,” said Palmer Ridge coach Paul Gagnon.
Gagnon inherits the program from his daughter, Lauren Besler, who is taking time away this season to spend more time with her family. Gagnon also coaches the school’s boys team.
Bears senior Maggie Geolat had the best finish of any Tri-Lakes area golfer last year when she was 30th at the Class 4A state tournament. Geolat, a three-time state qualifier, was second at her regional at the Country Club of Colorado. She has com-mitted to play for Colorado State Univer-sity-Pueblo.
“She’s very driven,” Gagnon said of Ge-olat, who is the team captain. “You don’t
find girls that often that are as dedicated to the game as she is.
She can finish in the top 15 in the state if she stays focused.”
The Bears will be young this sea-son. Those expected to make an impact are sophomores Teagan Sullivan, Dylan Brandt and Lexi Turenne, and junior Bri-anna Downs. The Bears moved their home course Monument Hill Country Club to Kings Deer this season. They will host their first meet of the season this Thursday with teams from tee Pikes Peak Athletic Confer-ence, including Lewis-Palmer and Discov-ery Canyon. Discovery Canyon also has a new coach this season in Erica
Saxer, who takes over the program from Lavonne Weinbender.
“I got the job in January,” Saxer said. “I was an assistant coach last year so I have familiarity with the girls.
“The girls have a really great attitude. They came in ready to grow.”
Among the top Thunder players is Sax-er’s younger sister, Lizzie.
“I feel like Erica pushes me harder,” said Lizzie, a sophomore.
“She can help me with different things I need to work on.”
Lizzie Saxer is finishing her season as a member of the Colorado Select Triple-A ice hockey team, based out of Denver. A defensemen, Saxer is headed to San Jose, Calif., this weekend for the nationals.
Other top Thunder players are senior
Hannah Brigger, junior Abby McCrary and sophomore Paige Anderson. Saxer and An-derson are long hitters.
“All the girls have come on strong,” Eri-ca Saxer said. “They just have to get rounds in.
Lewis-Palmer returns its whole team, led by junior Megan McCutcheon. The two-time state qualifier finished tied for 44th at last year’s state tournament.
Also back for the Rangers are seniors Rachel Hernandez and Jessica Hedgpeth, and junior Avie Marshall. The Rangers share Kings Deer with Palmer Ridge.
The Classical Academy returns three letterman – senior Miriam Douma, and ju-nior twins Sarah and Rachel Weber.
“Miriam is a long hitter and has a lot of potential,” said TCA coach Bob Gravelle. “The twins were shooting 105 at the end of last season. They need to get into the 90s to have a chance for state.”
Also expected to battle for the top four spots are sophomore Monique Prendez and freshmen Chloe Storm and Hannah Carter.
The Titans play in the Tri-Peaks League. Their only conference match is April 9 at Holly Dot in Colorado City. They host the Lady Titan Scramble May 16 at Glen Eagle.
“It’s a nice way to finish the season,” Gravelle said.
Regional tournaments take place may 6-10, with the state golf championships May 20-21.

Mountain lion sightings occur all year Parks and Wildlife o� er tips to avoid lion encounters By Lisa Collacott lcol [email protected]
Recently in Manitou Springs a man spotted three mountain lions out-side his house.
Near Cheyenne Moun-tain State Park, a mountain lion snatched a dog from its leash while its owner walked it. But, according to Parks and Wildlife offi cials, that doesn’t mean there’s a cause for alarm.
Mountain lions are ac-tive all year long, not just in the spring or summer. Michael Seraphin, spokes-person for Colorado Parks and Wildlife, said there is no particular timing asso-ciated with mountain lion sightings.
“There is no seasonal nature to them. They are ac-tive all year long,” Seraphin said.
Seraphin said that there could be more mountain lion sightings soon, be-cause people are getting outdoors more with the weather warming, and sun setting later.
“Most people that live in Colorado will never see a mountain lion in their life,” Seraphin said.
He said that mountain lions move around a lot and it’s not in their nature to stay in one tight geographi-
cal location. Mountain lions aren’t blood thirsty man eaters and their source of food is that of the four-legged kind, such as deer, rabbits and raccoons. But they will go after dogs and cats.
The mountain lion that snatched the dog from the leash as its owner walked it, Seraphin said, was ex-tremely aggressive. He said that when a mountain lion exhibits behavior that is more aggressive, action has to be taken.
According to the Colora-do Parks and Wildlife web-site, www.parks.state.co.us, mountain lions tend to be calm, quiet and elusive.
The website says there has been an increase in human/mountain lion in-teractions, in part, because people have moved into lion habitat. An increase in the deer population, and more people using hiking trails in lion habitat are also factors. Very few people get a glimpse of a mountain lion in the wild, according to the site.
Seraphin said they have not received any reports of mountain lion sightings this year in Palmer Lake and there was only one re-port of a sighting at the end of February in Monument.
Lt. Jason Vanderpool of the Palmer Lake Police Department said the last time there was a report of a sighting of a mountain lion in Palmer Lake was in the fall.
If someone comes across a mountain lion, Seraphin said, it is important not to run.
“Don’t turn and run be-cause it may trigger a chase response in the mountain lion,” he noted.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife provides several tips on what to do if stum-bling upon a mountain lion. When hiking, go in groups and make plenty of noise to reduce chances of surprising a mountain lion. Keep children close.
Don’t approach a moun-tain lion, especially one that is feeding her kittens. A mountain lion will try to
avoid confrontation, so give them a way to escape.
Make yourself look tall by raising your arms. Stop and back away slowly. If the mountain lion appears ag-gressive, throw stones, or branches, or whatever else you can.
Get on your hands, with-out crouching down, or turning your back. And if it does attack, fi ght back.
Seraphin said to keep dogs on a leash, and if they have a dog pen at home, make sure there is a cov-ering on top, to keep any wildlife out.
For more tips and infor-mation on mountain lions, visit www.parks.state.co.us and click on the education link. Then click “Living with Wildlife in Lion Country.”
Mountain Lions are active all year long and tend to not stay in one geographical location. Residents in Colorado will most likely never see one. Colorado Parks and Wildlife gives tips on avoiding confrontation if someone does come across one. File photo
