Question and answer with Corban Bryant of Purnaa Tribune: Going forward, what plans are in the works for recovery?

Bryant: Our plan is to start work on Tues-day! We’ve had some gifts from friends in the U.S. that have helped our employees with emergency cash and we plan to support those that have to relocate.

Tribune: Does this change your mission there,

from what you initially envisioned?

Bryant: This doesn’t change our mission.

We are here to create good jobs for people with

no opportunities. Now is a time our work is es-

pecially needed.

Tribune: Can you tell us anything about how you and family are dealing with the crisis on a personal level?

Bryant: Our family are all very tired and frazzled, but we can’t imagine leaving. There have been over 50 aftershocks and each one gets our hearts racing.

Local man describes conditions in Nepal Purnaa factory created by Tri-lakes resident, and Air Force Academy graduate By Rob Carrigan [email protected]

Former Tri-lakes resident, Ne-pal factory owner, and Air Force Academy Graduate Corban Bry-ant, said his family and employees are holding up, despite the dire circumstances in Kathmandu, and offers suggestions on how to help.

As the fi rst supplies of food aid began reaching remote, earth-quake-shattered mountain villag-es in Nepal, thousands clamored to board buses out of Kathmandu, either to check on rural relatives or for fear of spending yet another night in the damaged capital.

“In general, the best way to help now from the U.S. is to give,” said Lewis-Palmer High School Alum Corban Bryant. He said a fund was set up through YWAM in Colorado Springs and people can give directly by visiting www.ywamsf.org/respondtonepal/. He was reached Saturday morning in Kathmandu, Nepal, via email.

“Thanks for checking in and

thanks for the offer of help.”Bryant describes his experi-

ences so far:“The day of the quake, we initi-

ated our staff phone-chain, while most of the team leaders rushed out to areas with collapsed build-ings to help search for survivors. One of our sewers had attended a fi rst aid training at Purnaa. These trainings are surprisingly uncom-mon in Nepal. Immediately after the fi rst shocks he was able to res-cue two people from the rubble and provided fi rst aid to at least eight people,” Bryant said.

“By evening, we were able to contact about 80 percent of our 32 staff by phone. The next day we were able to verify everybody was safe either by phone or by driving motorcycles to their homes. None of our staff had collapsed houses, so we asked them to shelter in open spaces near their homes with family and neighbors for the fi rst three nights. Most neighbor-hoods quickly set up community make-shift tents with tarps in gar-dens and fi elds.”

Palmer Lake Business “Beauti-ful & Beloved Boutique” owned by Amber Newberry sells products produced in Purnaa, Bryant’s fac-tory in Nepal, said she had spoken with Corban prior to Thursday, and employees at the Purnaa fac-tory were generally fairing OK, considering the circumstances.

“The next couple days we spent our time looking for ways to help around town. This resulted in assistance to an orphanage that borders our sourcing manager’s home. The staff had abandoned the children there with the guard and the cleaning lady, who were quite overwhelmed. We were able

to set them up with good shelter and supervision until we were re-lieved by an NGO that funds the home. A handful of our team lead-ership attended a quick, unoffi cial class with a visiting architect who offered an earthquake damage as-sessment training,” Bryant said.

“On Tuesday, we called all of the staff to our facility. We cooked food, processed traumatic events together, paid out emergency spending money, and did a quick needs assessment with everybody. Among our group, there were three deaths to extended fam-ily, many unaccounted extended family, and several serious inju-ries to close family. Although it was the third day after the quake, nearly everybody was too afraid to go back into their homes, and

many did not have good shelters in their neighborhoods. Food prices had escalated and many of the tent areas did not have good drinking water or toilet access. We scrounged tarps, plastic, mats, and blankets and set up tents for those who did not have good shel-ter near their homes (about 20 people.),” he said.

“Yesterday we invited all the staff to the offi ce for food again. We worked on trying to get cash to pay monthly salaries on time. Most banks have just re-opened yesterday and are limiting cash. We also ran around town visiting employee houses to check for sig-nifi cant structural damage. Fortu-nately, it appears all but a few will be able to move back into their homes tonight.”

One of the biggest challenges has been scarcity of tarps.

“It’s rained Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. All the relief agencies heading into the heav-ily affected areas to the North are also scrambling to fi nd them. A second challenge is that banks didn’t re-open until yesterday and now they are limiting cash with-draws. We want to pay monthly salaries to our staff today because they need more emergency cash. We can deposit in their accounts, but they’ll have to wait in lines at ATMs to get it out,” Bryant related.

“Fortunately, we’re in an area of town where power was restored in about 48 hrs. Without this, we’d have no phone battery or internet access. Most of Kathmandu is still without power.”

At the time this photo was taken: “We have con� rmed about 90% of Purnaa sta� are OK after the earthquake. We are trying to contact a few remaining people,” Bryant said. Courtesy photo s

One of our employees, Bikash G, found a group of 40 small girls from an orphanage that have been left to fend for themselves. We were able to buy them food and a tarp to keep them out of the rain and Bikash is staying with them to make sure they are OK. So many people left to take care of themselves. Courtesy photo

The last few days all of the Purnaa sta� have been coming to the o� ce for community lunch. We’ve processed the trauma of the quake together and tried to meet immediate needs. The kids are waiting patiently for food to be ready. #respondtonepal #purnaa

‘The Snorkel’ remains a concern for Trails End residents Bulk � ll water station a ‘nightmare’ for some home owners By Danny Summers [email protected]

When Tammy Barber and her family moved into the Trails End neighborhood six years ago, they were happy to be away from the noise of the city and in the peaceful sur-roundings of southwest Monument.

But that all changed last year when the Town of Monument allowed a bulk fi ll wa-ter station to be built across the street from Barber’s home. Soon, trucks of all shapes and sizes - including 18-wheelers — were entering the neighborhood and fi lling up at what Barber and other residents of the de-velopment refer to as “The Snorkel.”

“It looks like the hangman you would draw if you were playing the game,” Barber said. “If it wasn’t such a nuisance we might think it was funny. But it’s not funny. We’re

very unhappy this was put in our neigh-borhood. Five homes in our neighborhood have to look at this every day.”

The commercial bulk station was put into use last May. It was about that time that Barber and other Trails End homeowners contacted their homeowners association to see what, if anything could be done to have the bulk station shut down and removed.

“Our lawyer told us there is nothing we can do to fi ght it, at least not as an HOA,” Barber said. “If we individually wanted to bring lawsuits we could, but that could get very costly.

“This has created tension among the neighbors about how we go about fi ghting this.”

Barber and her neighbors are concerned mostly over the safety of their children and that property values could decline. Homes in Trails End typically sell in the high $200,000s to mid $300,000s.

“It really doesn’t affect me as much as it does our neighbors who live directly across from it,” said Trail End resident Kim Bran-don. “The traffi c and big trucks it brings to our streets where children are playing is

what concerns me most. For instance, an 18-wheeler was there recently fi lling up his truck with water.”

In June of last year the site was used 506 times for commercial vehicles and only a few times for residential vehicles, accord-ing to Barber.

“We’ve addressed the town’s board of trustees and they all agree it needs to be moved,” Barber said. “We asked them to give us a timeline and they won’t give us one.”

Town Manager Pam Smith said the Town hopes to have the issue resolved this month.

“Staff is continuing their discussions with El Paso County on performing repairs to the Santa Fe Trail underneath Highway 105,” Smith said. “This will have an impact on maintenance responsibilities with the county Park-n-Ride, CDOT Bustang proj-ect, and the Town’s desire to place the bulk fi ll station in the CDOT Right of Way north of Conoco.

“Staff is looking into a private real estate purchase of land to relocate the bulk fi ll sta-tion. No further information can be given at this time as we are in early negotiations.”

Smith added that town is on track for prohibiting all commercial accounts from the bulk fi ll station and purchasing more construction meter hydrant connects with a target date of May 1.

“The hours of operation did change from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. effective March 30,” Smith said. “(Public Works Director) Thom-as Tharnish is ordering a placard with the hours and will have it posted as soon as it arrives.

“Our water billing administrator is work-ing with the current users in ensuring they are operating under the proper hours.”

Monument Mayor Rafael Dominguez has said that since the Town does not yet have a location to move the tank, they cannot make promises on when it could be moved. Dominguez added that he is in communication with the Colorado Depart-ment of Transportation about locating the tank at the original site the town had cho-sen, between the Conoco station and Arby’s on Highway 105.

“CDOT is the most bureaucratic organi-zation in the state,” Dominguez said.

Large trucks drive the streets of the Trails End development in Monument use the bulk � ll station. Trails End residents have voiced their concerns over the unwanted tra� c and noise pollution the � ll station and trucks have brought to their neighborhood. Photos by Tammy Barber

A bulk water � ll station was constructed in the Trails End home development in Monument about one year ago. Neighbors have raised concerns with the Monument board of trustees and town mayor Rafael Dominguez. So far, no resolution has been reached.

Sheri� ’s o� ce responds to stabbing Sta� report

A mother and her son, 11, were hospital-ized Friday after he reportedly stabbed her several times, then they somehow fell from a third-story window.

El Paso County sheriff’s deputies were called to a home on Burning Bush Point in Monument just before 5:30 p.m. after

receiving a “hysterical” call regarding a disturbance between a parent and child. A spokesperson with the sheriff’s offi ce said it was unclear who made the call.

When deputies got to the townhome, they found the mother with several stab wounds. The boy was then found sprawled on the ground in front of the house. It’s un-clear if the boy jumped out the window or

fell during some sort of struggle.“It has not been determined exactly

what happened. All I can say is that we have an open window here, we have a screen on the ground and we have the child laying on down on the driveway in front of the house when fi rst responders got here,” said Sgt. Robert Stone with the sheriff’s offi ce.

Stone said both mother and son were

still conscious when fi rst responders got on scene.

Both were rushed to separate local hos-pitals Friday, then later taken to Denver-ar-ea hospitals, said Jacqueline Kirby, sheriff’s offi ce spokesperson.

The sheriff’s offi ce has detectives inves-tigating the incident.

District 38 Schools has space for another host family

Duane Slocum, international coor-dinator for exchange students within the Pikes Peak region, issued a plea for a host family within the District 38 boundaries. Slocum said, “The Host Families can live anywhere within Dis-trict 38, however if they reside outside the boundaries; they will be responsible for transporting their student to the high school each day.”

Exchange students come with good English speaking and writing skills, spending money and health insurance. Most students arrive the first week of August or at least one week before school begins. A girl from Italy has already been accepted at Lewis Palmer High.

Anyone interested more information should contact Slocum at 719-599-8955 or via email at [email protected]. The Aspect website is www.aspect-foundation.org.

Aspect Foundation recently an-nounced there is a $100 referral fee paid to any person who refers a host family

Meeting to discuss threats to Black Forest lifestyle

Black Forest residents can learn about issues that threaten their rural lifestyle, at a public meeting 6:30 pm Wednesday, May 13, at the Black Forest Community Hall, 12530 Black Forest Road.

The meeting will be hosted by a new non-profit organization, Friends of the Black Forest Preservation Plan.

Black Forest residents who are ex-perts on this plan will lead discussion on changing land use priorities, the aftermath of the Black Forest Fire, deep-well water mining and ground water ex-port, sustainability of private wells, and large scale commercial development.

The Black Forest Preservation Plan was created in the early 1970s, when Black Forest residents worked with El Paso County to develop the first citizen-based land-use plan in the state of Colorado. Since then, residents have ad-vocated to County staff and leaders that they follow the Plan when approving subdivisions, roads, water use, commer-cial development and other factors that affect the rural residential lifestyle.

The Black Forest Preservation Plan has been largely successful in preserving Black Forest community values of quiet environment, dark skies, and low-den-sity housing. Friends of the Black Forest Preservation Plan is working to renew the awareness of the Plan and why it is still appropriate and timely.

To learn how to defend Black For-est’s rural lifestyle and attend the May 13 meeting, go to www.FOBFPP.org, and like the Friends of the Black Forest Pres-

ervation Plan on Facebook.

Academy coordinates prescribed burn last week

A closely coordinated prescribed burn was scheduled Thursday at the academy to protect a state-protected species known as Plains Ironweed.

“A prescribed burn is a controlled burn designed to meet a specific ob-jective,” said Diane Strohm, a natural resource manager at the academy. “In this case, the objective is to enhance a rare plant population, one of only three known populations of this plant in the state.”

The burn was to clear out up to one acre of Smooth Brome, a grass compet-ing with the Ironweed, growing just northwest of the Air Force Academy Fire Department’s Fire Station 2, off Acad-emy Drive.

The burn has been coordinated be-tween the Academy’s 10th Civil Engi-neering Squadron, its Fire Department and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

It lasted few hours and firefighters were on scene to ensure no threat to surrounding areas and a safe route for drivers.

100+ Women Who Care to meet Local foundation raises support for special causes By Jennifer Cunningham Contributing writer

Tonight, members of the 100+ Women Who Care, Tri-Lakes chapter, will meet at DeVine Grill, 5:30 p.m., to select and give an organization or group a financial gift. The recipient and amount will be deter-mined by the women who attend.

100+ Women Who Care is a national movement, taking root in Jackson, Mich. in 2006. While each chapter conducts their meetings slightly differently, the basic premise involves women commit-ting one-hundred dollars at each meet-ing that will in turn be donated to an or-ganization voted on by the members in attendance.

The Tri-Lakes chapter held its first semi-annual meeting last October, where

23 women donated $2,300 and voted on Sister’s Hope as the recipient. Tonight’s meeting is expected to have at least that many, with new members in attendance.

“To be a member, women just need to show up and commit to contributing $200 over the course of a year,” said Kar-en Stensland, one of the event organizers and secretary for the Tri-Lakes Commu-nity Foundation, the event sponsor.

This second meeting of 100+ Women Who Care, Tri-Lakes, will choose between Tri-Lakes Cares, Tri-Lakes Views, and po-tentially the TLCF, if no other nomina-tions are put forth. Organizations were encouraged to submit an application by May 1, but others may be considered during the meeting. The only qualifica-tions is that the funds given will benefit Tri-Lakes residents.

The event sponsor, Tri-Lakes Com-munity Foundation, is a nonprofit estab-lished in 2010. Then executive director of the Tri-Lakes Chamber of Commerce,

Dave Van Ness, envisioned the organiza-tion as an umbrella group to help other nonprofits or local groups raise money. According to Van Ness, the chamber did little with the foundation upon his de-parture, so he took over to revive its in-tent.

According to the TLCF website, they are “a resource for support and facilita-tion of public projects and events for benefit of the community at large.” If an individual or group, that is may or may not be an established nonprofit, wants to raise money for a specific cause or event, the TLCF will act as a fiscal agent. This al-lows supporters of that particular cause to give non-taxable donations. Van Ness believes they are the only such organiza-tion with this mission in the Tri-Lakes area.

During its � rst meeting in October 2014, 100+ Women Who Care, Tri-Lakes, gave $2,300 to Sister’s Hope. The money was raised from the twenty-three women who attended the meeting. Courtesy photo

Were you at Spurgeon Field on May 7, 1988?

If you were at Memorial Park’s Spur-geon Field on May 7, 1988, you wit-nessed the wildest game of professional baseball the Pikes Peak region has ever seen.

The Colorado Springs Sky Sox de-feated the Phoenix Firebirds, 33-12, in the Saturday afternoon affair that featured 13 home runs as wind gusts up to 50 mph aided baseballs flying over the fence at a ferocious pace.

Before the game was over, Phoenix pitcher Ed Lynch, once a successful ma-jor leaguer, returned to his team’s locker room located at Sertich Ice Rink, show-ered, dressed and retired.

Lynch allowed 15 runs on 14 hits in 3 2/3 innings.

Lynch started 119 major league games for the Chicago Cubs and New York Mets and had a 47-56 big league record before retiring for the first time following the 1987 season. His start that May 7 against the Sky Sox ended any ideas Lynch had of returning to the majors as a player.

Later in his baseball career Lynch was the general manager of the Cubs.

Many other former and future major leaguers saw action in the game. Among the stars for Phoenix were Charlie Hayes (2 home runs, 4 RBIs), Alan Cockrell (3 for 5, 3 runs), Matt Williams (home run, 3 RBIs) and Kirt Manwaring (1 for 4).

Of note, Hayes, playing for the New York Yankees in 1996, caught the final out in Game 6 of their World Series-clinching victory over the Atlanta Braves. Cockrell is now the assistant hitting coach of the Yankees. Williams was a five-time major league all star third baseman and is now manager of the Washington Nationals.

Among notable players for the Sky

Sox were Terry Francona (5 for 7, 4 RBIs, 4 runs), Luis Medina (3 for 5, 2 home runs, 5 RBIs, 4 runs), Ron Tingley (4 for 7, 2 home runs, 7 RBIs, 4 runs) and Paul Zuvella (1 for 6).

Francona is the current manager of the Cleveland Indians (for whom the Sky Sox were affiliated with from 1988 through 1992). He piloted the Boston Red Sox to World Series championships in 2004 and 2007.

The Sky Sox trailed the Giants 3-2 after one inning that May 1988 after-noon. But by the seventh inning stretch Colorado Springs had built a 27-11 lead. Since the Sky Sox were the home team, they only batted just eight times in the game.

Surprisingly, no Pacific Coast League records were broken that day.

Lynch wasn’t the only pitcher to have a bad time on the mound. Giants reliev-ers Randy McCament and Deron McCue combined to give up 16 earned runs and 18 hits.

Sky Sox starting pitcher Joe Skalski allowed 11 runs in 6 1/3 innings. He did strike out nine batters.

Cockrell, who I recently wrote about in this column, finished out the 1988 season with Phoenix and then spent two seasons as a player with the Portland

Beavers before joining the Sky Sox in 1990. In 1,594 at bats with the Sky Sox, Cockrell had 478 hits and 286 RBIs. He is also the only member of the clubs’ two PCL championship teams in 1992 and 1995, and was inducted into the Sky Sox hall of fame in 2002.

It should be noted that Cockrell lived in Colorado Springs until a couple of years ago when he got remarried - his beautiful wife is Polly - and moved to North Carolina. Polly joins her husband on many of the Yankees’ home and away games.

The 33-run outburst has not been replicated in the team’s 28 seasons in Colorado Springs. On June 28, 2005, the Sky Sox scored 25 runs against the Fresno Grizzlies at Security Service Field. They scored 24 against Fresno on May 29, 2011, also at Security Service Field.

Sky Sox historian Chris Moyer re-cently informed me of another fun fact in Sky Sox history. On June 26, 1990, the Sky Sox played a night game in Phoenix. The temperature at first pitch was 120 degrees as a paid crowd of 3,010 endured the suffocating heat. Phoenix set a re-cord that day with a high temperature of 122 degrees.

Sky Sox play-by-play announcer Dan Karcher was in his first season calling games for the club. It was so hot in the broadcast booth that Karcher moved his equipment outside to the top of the press box and called the action from there.

The next day things cooled down to 118 in Phoenix with a game-time starting temperature of 115.

Karcher, by the way, has announced more than 3,500 Sky Sox games during his storied career.

Higby’s jet engine would have cost millions

As early as 1928, William Eugene Higby had formalized his idea to move a plane along the ground or in the air by means of a blast of air projected from the plane. His early model for jet propulsion took the form of a patent at the U.S. Pat-ent Office filed on Jan. 24, of that year.

Higby, a prominent cattleman in the Monument area, and later the lieutenant governor of Colorado, was granted the patent March 12, 1929.

“But because of the cost of developing the idea, for one thing, nothing was done about suiting the theory to practice,” according to article appearing in the Palmer Lake – Monument News in April, 1965.

“It would have cost millions to de-velop,” Higby was quoted then.

After the attack on Pearl Harbor and the U.S. entry into World War II, Higby was approached by the government, seeking permission to use his idea.

“Higby gave his permission but, heard no more from the government,” the 1965 article said.His patent also outlined a method of guiding a plane both vertically or later-ally by means of air blasts, which would be adjustable for both direction and intensity.

“His invention was aimed at be-ing simple, economical and efficient. It provide for an engine ahead of the cockpit, as used in propeller planes, but the engine would propel a centrifugal fan, whose intake would project from the nose of the fuselage. The air would be discharged through a pair of pipes, one of each extending rearwardly from each of the wings.”

A British jet flight-tested in 1964, used similar designs to those patented by Higby, according to Walt Shaw, a prelimi-nary design engineer for Hamilton Stan-dard Division of United Aircraft Corp., of Windsor Locks, Conn.

“… the British have tested an airplane making use of the same principles that are covered in the patent which you hold

on the use of controllable jet blast for the purpose of maneuvering the air craft. Perhaps you were you were just too far ahead of the times,” read a 1965 letter to Higby from Shaw.

His considerable prowess as an inven-tor was extended to other endeavors. Higby also seemed to have a knack for politics. In addition to his service as lieutenant governor for Colorado from 1943 to 1947, he also managed stints in Colorado state house of representatives from 1933 to 1940, speaker of the Colo-rado House of Representatives from 1939 to 1940, and in the Colorado state senate from 1941 to 1943.

An obituary in the Palmer Lake – Monument News penned by Jean Evans upon his death in March of 1967 waxed poetic.

“As we walked with Mr. Higby daily we did not comprehend the full meaning of his greatness … He took kindly the coun-sel of years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. He nurtured the strength and spirit that shielded him in sudden misfortune. With all the sham, drudgery and broken dreams, he knew the world was beautiful. He will go down in history as part of our American way of life.”

Another school year has come and gone

It is hard to believe that yet another school year is coming to an end! This time of year there are many end of the year events. Be sure to thoroughly read this month’s newsletter, as well as check your child’s Friday Folder and Black-board Connect emails for reminders regarding some of the special happenings taking place over the next few weeks. Our Wolford Parent Teacher Organization is a valuable and much appreciated group of parents and staff. The resources and support they provide are critical to the continuing success of our school.

At the April meeting, elec-tions were held to elect our PTO officers for the 2015-2016 school year. Our new officers will be: Vice President, Melissa Harding; Secretary, Matt Mayberry; and Treasurer, Raina Seabaugh. We are still in need of a PTO President. Please consider support-ing our school in this position next year—you would receive lots of help and I know many peo-ple who will be forever in your debt! We hope to see you at the last PTO and School Accountability Committee meet-ings of the year on Wednesday, May 13. I would like to thank this year’s offi-cers for all of their efforts on behalf of our students, staff and school: Co-Presidents, Natalie Anderson and Kim Dowden; Vice President, Melissa Harding; Secretary, Carol Ann Lopez; and Treasurer, Alison Ludwig. They have done an outstanding job!

Speaking of parental support and in-volvement, I am seeking the help of in-terested parents in serving as the Wolford representatives on the District Account-ability Committee and Parent Sounding Board. Each committee offers diverse and valuable perspectives on the district as an organization and support for our students and their education. Each group meets no more than once a month, during the school day. If you would be willing to pro-vide a voice for our school, or would like more information before deciding, please contact me at your earliest convenience,

either by phone or email.Next year, instead of sending home a

classroom supply list for parents to pur-chase, the district will be using its vol-ume discounting and tax-exempt status to make the purchases of these supplies. Details are currently being worked out as to the fee, but as a parent myself, I can al-most guarantee it will be less than what you would pay going out and buy-ing supplies yourself. Additionally, we will be collecting a fee for consumable materials, which, depending on the grade level, may be used for planners, Time for Kids, Na-tional Geographic for Kids, cooking fees, workbooks, etc. More details will be forth-coming in August, when you receive our annual back to school letter. In the mean-time, rest easy knowing that you will not be fighting the crowds to purchase school supplies this summer.

Sadly, we must say goodbye to Kelly Farmer, as she begins her new adventure as Principal at Douglass Valley Elementa-ry School. While we are excited for her and this new opportunity, she will be missed! Be sure to give her a high five, hug, or big thank you for her service, the next time you see her.

Thank you for helping to make this year at Edith Wolford Elementary another outstanding and educational one! I can’t imagine a better place to be! I wish you all the very best summer, with plenty of qual-ity fun family time!

We’ll see you in August!, warm regards,

Bob Wedel, Principal [email protected]

LETTER TO THE EDITORDear Editor:Thank you Mr. Summers for your article

on Tim Tebow. We have had the privilege of meeting him on three occasions. He is not only a fine athelete, but an outstanding example of character and integrity.

We realize it takes more than a good name to play in the NFL, but he is a born

leader who can step up to the mark when given a chance. We do not believe he was treated fairly with the Jets nor New Eng-land; only time will tell if he makes it with the Eagles.

Our bet is on Tebow!

LIFET R I - L A K E S Black Forest Fire Insurance deadlines nearEl Paso County issues important alert for Black Forest Fire victimsSta� report

With the two year anniversary of the Black Forest Fire approaching El Paso County reminds property owners to keep in mind important insurance deadlines.

“Residents impacted by the Black For-est fire need to meet certain deadlines in order to preserve their rights under the terms of their policies,” said Commis-sioner Darryl Glenn who represents the Black Forest area.

“Fire victims should pay attention to the information provided by the consum-er protection organization United Policy Holders so that they do not miss any of these important deadlines.”

United Policy Holders, a nonprofit consumer organization which provided information and assistance offers as-sistance through a number of recovery meetings following the Black Forest fire reminds residents that the second anni-versary of the fire will be June 11.

Typically policy holders can expect the following to take place on the two-year anniversary of the fire:

• The expiration of additional living expense/loss of use benefits

• A firm deadline for suing an agent, broker or insurance company

• A deadline for collecting full replace-ment value on contents or dwelling

Those who have not reached an ac-ceptable insurance settlement should communicate with their insurer as soon as possible. Many insurers will grant ex-tensions of deadlines for a good cause. United Policy Holders offers sample let-ters that can be customized to send to an insurance company.

Victims are urged to ask for exten-sions well in advance of the deadline. If the insurer says no, contact The Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies. The contact email for the Insurance Division of DORA is [email protected] The toll free phone number for DORA is 800-886-7675.

Policy holders should make every at-tempt to get written confirmation prior

Bags and boards come of ageA simple, yet addictive game sweeps the nationBy Jennifer CunninghamContributing writer

A not-so-new game is sweeping the nation: cornhole.More familiarly known as beanbag toss, or bags, this

game of questionable origin, makes sport of tossing a bag of corn into a hole on a board. Despite the simplistic description, there are specific measurements, rules and terminology associated with this pastime.

Popular folklore puts the origin of cornhole in Cin-cinnati, thereafter quickly sweeping across the Midwest. A more historic belief includes a German farmer, circa 1325, who came across children throwing rocks into holes in the ground. He felt the rocks posed a safety risk, replacing them with corn-filled pouches.

Whatever the birthplace, this game is contestant-friendly. It can be played by anyone, anywhere. The only equipment required is a board with a hole and eight bags. The game can be set up in back yards, driveways, or even indoors.

More serious participants play in tournaments, with the final team or individual named champion. By regu-lation, corn-filled bags weigh one pound and measure 6 by 6 inches. Each team holds four bags, normally red or blue, and alternates tossing them, ideally into a 6-inch hole that is 33 feet away.

According to the American Cornhole Organization, matches are divided into innings or frames. Players al-ternate tossing their bags until all eight are thrown. Scor-ing varies depending on where the bag falls. If it simply lands on the board, that counts as one point. Making it into the hole garners three points. The bag can go di-rectly in, slide in or be knocked in. Bags that have landed on the board can be knocked off, resulting in no score. Matches continue until the first player or team reaches or exceeds 21 points.

As with any trending activity, there is specific corn-hole lingo. Wikipedia lists many, some of which are puns, like “cornament,” or “cornfusion,” when players can’t agree on scoring. Others are descriptive, like “jumper,” for bags that hit another bag causing it to jump into the hole, or “dirty bag,” for one that lands on or partly touches the ground. And then there are the not-so-obvi-ous terms. A play is called a “Leprechaun” when all four bags land on the board without any going in the hole. The ultimate is a “gusher,” when all four bags drop in.

On Sept 7, the Tri-Lakes Chamber of Commerce is hosting the first “Beers and Bags” Cornhole Tournament.

This Labor Day event will include a beer garden, mu-sic, food vendors and business booths. Teams will be

able to register to participate in the tournament, with the champion receiving a trophy and cash prize.

Local businesses are encouraged to run their own mini-tournaments during June through August. The

winning team from each mini-event will be granted free entry into the Labor Day competition.

For more information on the event or to register, con-tact the chamber at 719-481-3282.

July 7-11 marks the tenth anniversary of the American Cornhole Organization’s Worlds competition. Singles, doubles, women and seniors from mainly Midwestern and southern states will compete for cash prizes in Knoxville, Tenn. (Photo courtesy of the American Cornhole Organization)

The 2-inch by 4-inch cornhole boards come in unlimited designs and can be constructed of wood, plastic or any �rm material. The design is simple enough to be made at home. (Photo courtesy of cornhole-bagtoss.com)

Tri-Lakes Rebuilding Together team helping local neighborSta� report

The newly-formed Tri-Lakes Team of Re-building Together is conducting their first project on Saturday, May 9, in Monument. Volunteers will make repairs; add safety features; install smoke and CO detectors; and (weather permitting) make safety im-provements to the front entry of the home.

The team is working with the Colorado Springs affiliate of Rebuilding Together and their partnership with Home Depot. Local contractors, businesses and organizations are involved, including Prime Roofing, Tri-Lakes Tile, Rosie’s Diner, Mountain Com-munity Senior Services, Health Advocacy Partnership and Tri-Lakes Cares.

Rebuilding Together focuses on helping people with low-income, disabilities and on aging populations to maintain a safe, warm and dry home. This may include critical home repairs, accessibility modifications and energy-efficient upgrades.

If residents in the Tri-Lakes area would like an application for assistance, addi-tional information, or are interested in volunteering or making a tax deductible donation, send an email to [email protected] or contact Michael Winton at 937-430-4139. Addition-al information can be found at the Colo-rado Springs affiliate website, www.rebuild-ingtogether.org.

Policy holders should make every at-tempt to get written confirmation prior

to the two-year anniversary stating that:• An insurance claim will remain open

and payable past the two-year anniver-sary

• An insurer will continue to honor its obligation to pay all benefits owed, in-cluding replacement values past the two-year anniversary

• An insurer agrees that it will not en-force any “suit against us” provision that may arise at the two-year anniversary

Courts enforce law suit deadlines strictly, so those who feel that their in-surer has acted unreasonably should get a review of your situation from a qualified Colorado “bad faith attorney” well before the anniversary date.

Other things to do before the second an-niversary:

• Communicate with an insurer in writing, and where needed seek deadline extensions

• Customize and send a letter seeking an extension for good cause

• Organize and turn in receipts for reimbursement of additional living ex-pense benefits

• Correct any errors in payments or al-locations

• Read the policy “declarations” page and double-check the math: Were limits accurately adjusted for extended cover-age endorsements and inflation protec-tion?

Homeowners who suffered partial loss/damage should:

• Check the home and personal prop-erty carefully for additional, secondary or hidden damages and file the necessary documentation with an insurer to claim benefits for restoration or replacement well ahead of any deadlines. Homeown-ers will need time to secure estimates and recover any outstanding depreciation

• Look over delicate items that were cleaned to see if they are exhibiting yel-lowing or deterioration from the residues or cleaning process itself. This is known as secondary damage and should be cov-ered under most policies.

• Check exterior finishes for crack-ing and peeling caused by heat exposure from the fire or power washing to remedi-ate the smoke and soot staining

SPORTS

Going out in a BLAZE of gloryLewis-Palmer’s Nicole Montgomery is aiming for more state titlesBy Danny [email protected]

Nicole Montgomery is racing toward the finish line of brilliant high school athletic career.

The multi-talented Lewis-Palmer star is hoping to cap her senior season on the track with as many as four state titles at this month’s Class 4A state championships.

“I’m definitely excited, but I’m nervous,” Montgomery said with a smile. “I feel like people will be gunning for me. But I like the challenge.”

Montgomery, whose red hair and blaz-ing speed makes her stand out on any track, is a two-time defending state champion in the 400 meters and the defending state champ in the 200.

She finished third in the 200 as a fresh-man and sophomore. She was second in the 400 as a freshman.

She is currently ranked first in the state - among all classifications - in the 400 with a blistering time of 54.11 seconds, recorded April 18 at the Jaguar Invitational in Parker.

“I would like to get in the 52s at state,” a confident Montgomery said during a work-out at the school last week when the wind chill made temperatures plummet into the high teens in Monument. “I’ve always run my best times at state. I’m hoping I can get my goal time, but if not, college will break me down and redo me.”

Montgomery signed her national letter of intent with the University of Kansas last November and is looking forward to com-peting at the collegiate level. But her main goal right now is reaching her maximum potential at state.

Montgomery is ranked first in 4A in the 200 (24.49) and second in the 100 (12.17). Both of those marks came April 30 at the Pikes Peak Athletic Conference champion-ships.

Maya Evans, a freshman at Vista Peak Prep, is first in the 100 and second in the 200.

“I haven’t run against her, but I am look-ing forward to it,” said Montgomery, who helped the Lewis-Palmer volleyball team to back-to-back state championships in 2013 and 2014. “She’s a very strong runner and I love running up against great competition, especially in the 100 because that’s not re-ally my strongest race so I like to be pushed.

“I think it would be kind of cool to win the (100), especially if I can three-peat in the 400 and repeat in the (200). I don’t think I’ll be running (the 100) in college because they recruited me for the 400. But whatever happens happens.”

Montgomery also runs anchor on the Lewis-Palmer 800 sprint medley relay team, which is ranked first in the state (1:46.43). Other relay team members include Shelby Heins and Maddi Smith.

Montgomery ran anchor on the school’s state-winning 800 medley relay team as a sophomore, but did not compete in the fi-nals as a junior.

“It’s intimidating training with her, but she also pushes you a lot harder than you normally would,” Heins said. “Nicole has had a lot of good coaches, so she’s good at spreading her knowledge to the rest of us.

Smith often boasts about competing with Montgomery.

“I tell all my friends that one day she’s going to become famous and I’ll be able to tell people I ran track with her and relays with her,” Smith said.

Montgomery is looking forward to com-peting at the NCAA Division I level.

“I feel I will be able to maximize my po-tential at Kansas,” Montgomery said. “I feel right at home with the team, and I’m not too far from Colorado, so that’s cool.”

Lewis-Palmer track coach Nancy Pellow believes Montgomery will make a smooth transition to competing at the college level.

“She has yet to tap everything that she’s got.” Pellow said. “She won’t miss a beat in college. She’ll be able to compete as a fresh-man.

“She’s not afraid to work. She’s not afraid to hurt. She has a great attitude.”

Groundbreaking of New Young Life Wing at Tri-Lakes YMCASta� report

Through a collaborative effort between Tri-Lakes Young Life and YMCA of the Pikes Peak Region, a new Young Life wing is set to open at the Tri-Lakes YMCA in Monument in the fall 2015. The groundbreaking of this project took place on Saturday, May 2.

From the generosity of an anonymous donor, the YMCA of the Pikes Peak Region and Tri-Lakes Young Life received a dona-tion to fund the process of building a con-necting wing off of the Tri-Lakes YMCA building. This wing will be a place for Young Life kids to foster meaningful relationships, and will host Young Life events such as Club

– A Party with a Purpose, Campaigners – a weekly meeting for kids to learn and grow in their faith, and other Young Life area events. This will be a central location for the high schools associated with Tri-Lakes Young Life, including Palmer Ridge, Lewis Palmer, The Classical Academy and Discov-ery Canyon.

“We could not be more excited about the growth of Young Life in the Tri-Lakes area. This will be a great collaboration with the YMCA to positively impact the lives of adolescents. Asking for a building seemed like an impossible request, yet it was made possible,” says Tri-Lakes Young Life Area Director Jeremy VanHaitsma. “We are eter-

nally grateful and overwhelmingly blessed. We have seen incredible growth and it is our desire that the teen center will be a safe place where they can always come and feel welcomed, known, accepted and loved!”

“The Tri-Lakes YMCA is excited to part-ner with another organization that sup-ports kids, family and teens. The unique partnership will allow teens in the Tri-Lakes community a place to call their own. They will have the opportunity to build relation-ships and feel supported in spirit, minds and body,” says Tri-Lakes YMCA Executive Director Heather Steinman.

The 5,000 square foot facility offers a gymnasium for sports such as, basketball,

volleyball, dodgeball and more. There will also be an area for socializing, gaming and creative outlets as well.

CEO and president of YMCA of the Pikes Peak Region, Boyd Williams, adds, “The partnership between the YMCA of the Pikes Peak Region and Young Life allows for teens to engage in various healthy activities in a safe environment, which is a fundamental component of the Y’s mission in our com-munity.”

Rangers up PPAC winning streak to 27 games Lewis-Palmer baseball team has won two consecutive league titles By Danny Summers [email protected]

The Lewis-Palmer High School baseball team improved to 13-0 in the Class 4A Pikes Peak Athletic Conference last week and won their second consecutive league title in most dramatic fashion.

The Rangers (16-2) defeated Air Acade-my, 8-5, in 10 innings on April 30 to up their conference winning streak to 27 games. On May 4 the Rangers played at Vista Ridge in their fi nal PPAC game, but results were not available at press time.

The last time Lewis-Palmer lost a PPAC game was May 6, 2013, against Palmer Ridge (9-0).

Over the past two seasons, the Rangers have lost just one game to a team from Col-

Rangers head to state soccer tournament with 13-1-1 record Lewis-Palmer’s only loss came in season opener to TCA By Danny Summers [email protected]

The Lewis-Palmer High School girls’ soccer team re-turned most of its crew this spring from its impressive run to state quarterfinals in 2014. As a result, the Rang-ers are enjoying one of their best seasons in school his-tory.

“We knew going into this season that things looked very bright,” said Joe Martin, who is the director of the Rangers’ program. “Our senior leadership has been very good and the rest of the girls have stepped up.”

Lewis-Palmer concluded its regular season tied with defending state champion Cheyenne Mountain atop the Class 4A Pikes Peak Athletic Conference standings. Both teams were 6-0-1 in conference. They played to a double overtime scoreless tie on April 9. Cheyenne Mountain (9-5-1) got the No. 1 seed from the league, however, by virtue of a tie breaker.

“We definitely wanted to beat them and I feel like we had the ability if we finished the chances that we had,” said Lewis-Palmer senior midfielder/defender Danielle Hatton.

Lewis-Palmer (13-1-1) has not lost since the open-ing match of the season when it fell 2-1 to The Classical Academy. TCA finished 15-0 in the regular season and easily won the 4A Metro League.

“That was definitely an early wake up call,” said Lew-is-Palmer senior midfielder Bella Mantaro about the loss to TCA. “I think that we assumed that coming from 3A they wouldn’t have that much experience in 4A and we would dominate the game. But they came out pretty hard and they shocked us.”

TCA also defeated Cheyenne Mountain this season.The Rangers rolled off seven consecutive victories

after the TCA loss before tying Cheyenne Mountain in what was the second PPAC match for both teams.

Lewis-Palmer had nine shutouts in its last 11 games,

allowing a goal each to cross town rival Palmer Ridge in a 2-1 overtime victory and Discovery Canyon in a 2-1 regulation win.

Martin credits his junior goalkeeper Haley Arsenault with playing a huge role in the team’s defensive domi-nation. Arsenault has allowed just six goals all season.

“She’s been playing out of this world at times,” Mar-tin said of Arsenault. “Against Discovery Canyon she

pinned a ball against the crossbar, held onto it as she fell and got kicked on the ground. It was amazing.”

Arsenault would like a rematch with TCA.“I feel that if we played them now things would be

completely different,” she said. “The first time we played team we hadn’t really played together. We just practiced. That was our first real game and we weren’t all on the same page. But we have really come together as a team.”

Mantaro agreed:“We just realized that it’s going to take a lot more

work to meet our goals,” she said. “The TCA game was the eye opener for us. We knew we had to work hard-er. We had to stay on track. Nobody is going to be easy competition in 4A or our league.”

Sophomore Bri Alger has had a breakout season, scoring as team-high 21 goals to go along with a team-best eight assists.

Junior Sarah Lyons is second in goals with 12, while Mantaro is third with six.

Alger and Lyons had the goals against Palmer Ridge.“That win against Palmer Ridge gave us a lot of con-

fidence,” Lyons said. “That was one of the things we re-ally wanted to achieve this season.

Lewis-Palmer senior midfielder/forward Allison Housum said it is critical the Rangers stay focused on each individual playoff game and not look ahead at the next opponent.

“We have to keep our confidence up and not get too cocky,” Housum said. “We have to work hard all the time. Anybody can beat anybody.”

Martin credits Lewis-Palmer co-head coach Ryan Parsons with being invaluable to the team’s success.

“If we had a symphony Ryan would be the maestro,” Martin said. “We work together and we talk through everything, but he just brings great playing experience and knowledge. The girls relate to him really well. He’s such a bonus for our program. A gift to our program.”

If Lewis-Palmer should happen to advance to the state semifinals, Martin made a deal with his team that he will dye his hair orange.

“There’s not much up there, but it will be orange,” Martin said with a smile.

Rangers up PPAC winning streak to 27 gamesLewis-Palmer baseball team has won two consecutive league titlesBy Danny [email protected]

The Lewis-Palmer High School baseball team improved to 13-0 in the Class 4A Pikes Peak Athletic Conference last week and won their second consecutive league title in most dramatic fashion.

The Rangers (16-2) defeated Air Acade-my, 8-5, in 10 innings on April 30 to up their conference winning streak to 27 games. On May 4 the Rangers played at Vista Ridge in their final PPAC game, but results were not available at press time.

The last time Lewis-Palmer lost a PPAC game was May 6, 2013, against Palmer Ridge (9-0).

Over the past two seasons, the Rangers have lost just one game to a team from Col-

orado as they’ve comprised a 33-6 overall record.

“Going 10 innings today, that was awe-some,” said Lewis-Palmer senior Colin Ci-cere, who knocked in the go-ahead run in the top of the 10th with an RBI single to score Paul Tillotson. “This is the way it should be. The two best teams going down to the wire.”

Bradley Kugler also drove in a run in the 10th with a double, and Hank Kuntzelman had a two-out, two-run single that gave the Rangers breathing room.

Senior right-hander Brian Tims pitched the final three innings for the Rangers to earn the victory. Tims struck out four and walked one, while allowing a solo home run to Ryan McCarthy in the bottom of the 10th.

“My defense really backed me up today,” said Tims, who improved to 4-0 with a 2.43 ERA. “You could just feel the excitement to-day. We knew if we made little mistakes it could cost us.”

Tillotson started on the mound for the Rangers in search of his sixth victory. The junior right-hander allowed four runs on seven hits over six innings. He struck out

nine Air Academy batters, while walking two.

Tillotson has 97 strikeouts on the season to increase his team record.

The Kadets (14-4, 12-2) and Rangers en-tered the week tied atop the PPAC. On April 28, Cicere pitched a gem to lead Lewis-Palmer to a 9-4 victory. He struck out eight and walked one to improve to 7-0 on the season.

Despite winning the league title and be-ing ranked among the top three teams in the state, the Rangers will likely be on the road for districts when playoff pairings are announced this week.

That’s because the Colorado High School Activities Association (CHSAA) does its playoff seeding based on a wildcard point system.

Under the wildcard point system Lewis-Palmer is ranked 11th as of May 2. The top eight teams host districts.

“CHSAA will tell us what field we’re at and we’ll go play,” Tims said. “We won’t worry about it. We will go play Lewis-Palm-er baseball.

“We have our goals set on state, but this is just the beginning of the journey. It’s any-body’s ball game when you get to districts. Your stats can look pretty, but what matters is what’s on the scoreboard at the end of the game.”

While Lewis-Palmer players and coaches are keeping a positive outlook, they can’t help but recall that they were in a similar situation last year when they had to go on the road for districts.

“It’s frustrating, but it won’t be a big deal to us,” Cicere said. “I think we’ll have better pitching than most teams.

“We can see the state championship in our eyes, especially if we keep pitching the way we are. If we only allow three runs a game our offense should score at least three.”

Lewis-Palmer is batting .331 as a team. Tillotson is hitting .413 with five home runs and 25 RBIs. Cook (.455) and Tims (.410) have three home runs apiece to go along with 19 and 18 RBIs, respectively. Cicere is batting .380 with seven extra base hits and 17 RBIs.

Lewis-Palmer’s Brian Tims, batting, is a big reason why the Lewis-Palmer baseball team went 14-0 in the Class 4A Pikes Peak Athletic Conference for a second consecutive season.

Titans clinch playo� berth in �nal game of regular seasonTCA quali�es for postseason �rst year in Class 4ABy Danny [email protected]

When The Classical Academy baseball team began this season with six consecutive losses, including its first four conference games, few - other than those associated with the program - would have thought the Titans would be a playoff team on April 30.

But that became a reality in the early evening hours of April’s final day after TCA held on to defeat Widefield, 7-5,

to claim the third postseason spot in the Class 4A Metro League.

TCA (11-8, 9-5) will be on the road this Saturday for the districts. The single elimination districts are comprised of four teams. The winner moves onto the eight-team state tournament.

The Titans, coached by Matt Tisthammer, held their playoff destiny in their hands heading into the final week of the regular season. They needed to defeat Widefield twice to clinch a playoff berth. Two losses to the Gladiators, or a split, would have created at least a two-way tie for third place. Tiebreakers would have been needed to work out the mess.

But the Titans avoided the sticky situation by defeating

Widefield in both games. TCA won 9-7 on April 28. By do-ing so, the Titans won 11 of their final 13 games. Their only losses after March 21 were to Woodland Park (6-4) and a non-league match against Rampart (13-10).

TCA’s playoff-clinching victory on April 30 looked like it would be a walk in the park as the host Titans built a 7-1 lead heading into the bottom of the seventh inning. But Widefield scored four runs on two hits and two walks to make things interesting.

TCA was led offensively by Trent Warren (2 for 2 with a home run and two runs batted in). Teammate Colton Du-faud added a hit and a pair of RBIs, while Alec Van Eaton, John Bull and Joshua St. Marie had two hits apiece.

Junior Spencer Hamilton picked up the victory, allowing one run (unearned) on six hits over five innings.

TCA finished third in the Metro League behind Canon City (16-3, 14-0) and Mesa Ridge (14-5, 12-2).

The playoff pairings are based on wild card points. As of May 1, TCA was ranked 30th.

This is TCA’s first season playing in 4A. The Titans quali-fied for the postseason the three previous years in 3A.

SALOME’S STARSFOR RELEASE WEEK OF MAY 4, 2015

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The Lamb is usually excited about taking on a new challenge. But if that’s a touch of doubt you’re feeling, maybe it’s you telling yourself to go slow on this until you learn more about it.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Accepting new commit-ments when you haven’t yet finished the batch on hand could be a bit rash. Better to ease up on the new ones until you get further along with your current lot.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Reward yourself for what’s sure to be a dynamic week with a getaway to someplace wonderful, hopefully with a wonderful some-one. You’ll return refreshed and ready for what’s ahead.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Some people might be anxious about your plans. So you need to take time to explain what you expect to do and how you expect do it. And don’t forget to ask for suggestions.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Dealing with an unfamiliar problem can be difficult. The wisest course you can take is to ask for advice from those who have been where you are and have come through it. Good luck.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Tackle a frustrat-ing job problem by considering possibilities you might have ignored before. This reassures colleagues you’re serious about finding a solution, even if it’s not totally yours.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your balanced approach to life proves to be helpful this week when someone you care for needs your spiritual comfort, while someone else benefits from your tough-love practicality.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Once again, you’re likely to be asked to keep a secret for someone. But do you really want to do so? Be honest with your-self and with your needs before you make any such commitment.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Tak-ing a more direct approach from the more diplomatic one you’ve used before could make a difference in finally resolving a too-long-held disagreement. Try it.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Be-ing asked for advice is flattering to the Sea Goat, who has a habit of saying the right thing. This time, expect someone to be especially impressed and to act on that sentiment.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) With a num-ber of pressures easing, your project could be making a lot more progress than you expected by this time. That’s great news. But don’t let yourself be distracted; stay with it.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) An interesting challenge looms that could be exactly what you’ve been looking for. Discuss this with colleagues who could have much to contribute and who might want to join with you.

BORN THIS WEEK: Your heart is always open to offer loving concern for others. And they, in turn, reach out to complete the circle.
