Monument names new town manager Interim town manager named to the position a� er six months By Lisa Collacott [email protected]

Pam Smith, who has been the interim town manager for the town of Monument for the past six months, was named town man-ager at the last board of trustees meeting.

Smith was sworn at the June 3 board meeting. She stepped into the position in January after town manager Cathy Green was asked to resign on Jan. 11.

Smith, who was previously the town treasurer, said she took the position to fi ll a need but said she has thoroughly enjoyed working in the position and has had a lot of positive feedback from staff, the board of trustees and citizens.

“It’s been very challenging. There’s so much to do. But most of my life has been in management and it’s going well,” Smith said.

Smith said there have been some changes to her contract that differ from Green’s but will result in salary savings for the town.

She has received a $10,000 raise bringing her salary to $96,700. Green was paid $102,000.

In addition Green’s contract stated that if she was asked to re-sign she would be paid six months’ severance.

Smith said that six months was too excessive for a severance package and an agreement was

made for her contract to instead include a 90-day severance pack-age.

Smith said the new town trea-surer is also receiving a raise but it will be approximately $12,000 lower than what she was making as treasurer.

Smith was planning to retire in fi ve years and had been training Monica Harder to be town trea-surer however the permanent po-sition as town manager changes things.

“I couldn’t do this without the full support of the other managers (at town hall) and the board. We are a team here,” Smith added.

Monument gets a new town treasurer Monica Harder has been training for the position By Lisa Collacott [email protected]

The town of Monument has a new town treasurer. Monica Harder was named to the position at the most recent board of trust-ees meeting.

Harder has been fi lling the position for the past six months after town treasurer Pam Smith stepped up to fi ll the role of in-terim town manager after Cathy Green was asked to resign from her position as town manager.

During her swearing in as treasurer at the June 3 board of trustees meeting, Hard-er got choked up while taking the oath.

“It’s just a wonderful feeling. It’s a bit overwhelming,” Harder said. “I’m the cus-todian of all the citizens’ funds.”

Harder said it’s been her goal to become town treasurer one day and has been taking the steps to learn and train for the position for quite some time.

Smith was originally planning to retire before the town manager position came along and was training Harder to take her place.

Harder has a background in fi nance hav-ing worked for fi nancial institutions for

many years. She was originally hired as the fi nance assistant for the town of Monument in 2007.

The town of Monument is her fi rst gov-ernment job and she said it’s been a whole new learning curve.

I’m honored to be in this position,” Harder said.

The town of Monument has named Monica Harder to be the new town treasurer. The position was left open after the former town treasurer stepped into the interim town manager position six months ago. Harder has been � lling in as town treasurer since and was sworn in at the June 3 board of trustees meeting. Photo by Lisa Collacott

Sheri� ’s o� ce investigates shooting in Black Forest Special to the Tribune

On June 7, 2013, at 1:13 p.m., the El Paso County Sheriff’s Offi ce dis-patched deputies to the 7000 block of Shoup Road in Black Forest after receiving a call from an adult male in-

dicating he had been shot and was in-jured. It was not apparent to the man where the shot came from.

During the investigation, deputies learned the victim was a workman do-ing work on a vacant property. A man living at the adjacent property fi red at a squirrel on his property and a round

struck the victim. The victim received minor injury and sought treatment at a local hospital.

The suspect, 70-year-old Gregory Watson, was served and released on a summons and complaint for third-degree assault and prohibited use of a weapon, both misdemeanors.

Eagle Forest subdivision � nal plat approved Board of county commissioners approve with an amendment By Lisa Collacott [email protected]

The El Paso County Board of Commis-sioners approved the fi nal plat for the Eagle Forest subdivision in Black Forest with an amendment.

The meeting was continued to May 28 from May 14 and during the initial meeting the commission questioned a clearance let-ter needed from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as a condition of approval.

Before the fi nal plat went before the county commission, the planning commis-sion approved it subject to conditions and notions.

Conditions state:• No. 1 — “The developer shall comply

with federal and state laws, regulations, or-dinances, review and permit requirements and other agency requirements, if any, of applicable agencies including, but not

limited to, the Colorado Division of Wild-life, Colorado Department of Transporta-tion, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service regarding the Endangered Species Act, particularly as it relates to the Preble’s Meadow Jumping

Mouse as a listed threatened species.”• No. 3 — “Prior to issuance of a con-

struction permit, the applicant and / or de-veloper shall provide a clearance letter from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.”

During the May 28 meeting, commis-sioners said they do not support condition three because the applicant is already com-plying with the law in condition one.

“Condition one covers exactly what we need to cover under the law,” Commission-er Amy Lathen said.

Commissioner Darryl Glenn made a mo-tion to approve the fi nal plat excluding con-dition three.

“I believe that if we did not have condi-tion one that we would be required to have condition three. I believe that we are on ac-tual notice. I believe that condition one sat-isfi es those requirements by incorporating that into our approval,” Glenn said. “I think we have satisfi ed those requirements.”

The BOCC unanimously approved the fi nal plat excluding condition three.

The subdivision is to have nine single-family lots on a little more than 44 acres with the lot sizes three to fi ve acres and fi ve acres of open space.

The Eagle Forest subdivision � nal plat was approved with an amendment by the county commissioners at the May 28 BOCC meeting. The subdivision is located near Shoup and Back Forest Roads. Photo by File photo

I-25 expansion project update for week of June 9 Special to The Tribune

Construction crews will place con-crete barriers this week to create a new work zone on the inside lanes of In-terstate 25 between Baptist Road and Black Squirrel Creek, which is between North Gate Boulevard and Interquest Parkway.

Northbound and southbound traf-fi c will be reduced to one lane be-tween 8:30 p.m. and 5:30 a.m., each night from June 9 to June 13.

Once the barriers are in place driv-ers will fi nd the traffi c lanes in this seg-ment are narrower than before.

This new lane confi guration may impact drivers entering southbound I-25 at Baptist Road.

Crews also will be working from 8:30 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. June 12-13 in

the median of I-25 between Woodmen Road and North Academy Boulevard.

This work also will require left lane closures to help ensure worker and driver safety.

Allow extra driving time and slow-down in construction zones. Resi-dents, commuters and others who drive I-25 between Woodmen Road in Colorado Springs and Monument are reminded to allow for extra driving time and to pay attention to reduced speeds in construction zones.

A detour established for wide-load vehicles. Vehicles exceeding 13-feet in width are required to use a Colorado Department of Transportation ap-proved detour to avoid the I-25 expan-sion work zone.

The detour is necessary because lane widths have been reduced in sev-eral areas between Monument and

Woodmen Road in Colorado Springs.For northbound vehicles the de-

tour is: US 24 Bypass, Mile Marker 139, east to Powers Boulevard; north on Powers Boulevard to Colo. 83; north on Colo. 83 to I-225; west on I-225 to northbound I-25.

For southbound vehicles the de-tour is: I-225 east to Colo. 83; south on Colo. 83 to Powers Boulevard; south on Powers Boulevard to US 24 Bypass; US 24 Bypass west to southbound I-25.

Gun law a� ects domestic abusers Restrictions got no GOP support in Legislature By Vic Vela [email protected]

Domestic violence offenders will fi nd it more diffi cult to own or trans-fer guns under a bill that was signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper on June 5.

Senate Bill 197 places greater gun restrictions on persons who either are convicted in cases involving domes-tic violence, or those who have been served with a court-issued protection order.

Prior to the bill being signed, Colo-rado law had already prohibited do-mestic violence offenders from having guns.

The new law puts in place a system by which state courts ensure that of-fenders relinquish their weapons.

Sen. Evie Hudak, D-Westminster, a bill sponsor, said an incident from about 20 years ago motivated her to carry the bill.

A former teacher, Hudak said that a student of hers was shot to death by an ex-boyfriend, who had a restrain-

ing order against him.“I’ve wanted this to happen for a

very long time,” Hudak said. “I think a lot of women and children will be safer because of this.”

Under the new law, persons who have received court-imposed protec-tion orders must relinquish any fi re-arms and ammunition in their pos-session for the duration of the court order.

The same rules will apply to per-sons convicted of domestic violence cases.

They can then either sell or transfer their weapons to a licensed gun dealer or to someone who has successfully completed a gun background check. The weapon may also be given to a law enforcement agency for storage.

Before transferring a gun back to the offender, a fi rearms dealer or lo-cal law enforcement agency will be re-quired to request a background check from the Colorado Bureau of Investi-gation, to ensure that the person can lawfully possess the weapon.

The bill was part of a package of Democrat-sponsored gun-control bills that passed the Legislature and have been signed into law by Hicken-looper this year.

Republican lawmakers unani-mously opposed the bill. Hudak’s sponsorship of the legislation, along with her votes on other gun bills, led to a recall petition effort being waged against her.

That effort recently was suspended by recall organizers.

Licenses for illegal immigrants become law � ree Democrats broke with party to oppose plan By Vic Vela [email protected]

Undocumented immigrants living in Colorado will soon be able to obtain driver’s licenses under a bill that was recently signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper.

Senate Bill 251 allows immigrants to apply for “separate category” types of state-issued IDs that can only be used for driving purposes.

The licenses will indicate that the user is a non-citizen, and they will not be able to use the IDs to obtain ben-efi ts, board planes or register to vote.

Hickenlooper and other support-

ers of the legislation, which was spon-sored by Democrats Sen. Jessie Ulibar-ri of Commerce City and Rep. Jovan Melton of Aurora, argue that people who are here illegally are driving any-way, and that it’s in everyone’s best in-terest that they can do so lawfully.

During the legislative process, bill supporters cited data from other states that have similar laws, such as Utah and New Mexico.

Statistics from those states indi-cate that the numbers of insured mo-torists rose substantially after the laws were enacted.

“You’re gonna have to have a driver’s license that allows people to drive to get to work … to make sure they have insurance, make sure they can testify in an automobile accident (court hearing), but at same time identifi es that they aren’t full citizens,”

Hickenlooper told reporters on June 5, the day he signed the legislation.

The law, which takes effect in Au-gust, requires those applying for these types of licenses to show certain forms of legal documentation, such as an ID from their native countries, and proof that they have fi led state and federal income taxes. That’s in addition to standard driving tests.

The bill did not garner a single Republican vote in the General As-sembly. And three Democrats voted against the bill in the House of Repre-sentatives.

Sen. Kevin Lundberg, R-Berthoud, said during an April 10 Senate com-mittee hearing that he didn’t think the bill would make roads safer, and wor-ried that more people would come to Colorado illegally for the driving privi-lege.

Cloud City introduces Green Box Arts Festival

By Pat Hill [email protected]

A hullabaloo and yowzah! experi-ence for the residents of Green Moun-tain Falls, the 20-ton sculpture with 16 modules is guaranteed to be the big-gest thing that ever hit town.

A gift from the town’s benefac-tor, Christian Keesee, the aluminum sculpture launches the Green Box Arts Festival, which begins June 23. Founder of the festival in 2007, Keesee continues to surprise audiences with a rich variety of culture, including the-atre, art and sculpture, dance, litera-ture, the culinary arts, photography and jewelry.

But Cloud City is the ultimate, to date. “The sculpture refl ects what the clouds look like,” said Graham Stew-art, architect for the project who trav-eled with the piece from New York City to Green Mountain Falls. Eight full-size semis, two modules each, carried the clouds into town the week of June 3.

An interactive piece, visitors are invited to meander through the plat-forms and staircases to view the land-scape from each of the 12 x 12-foot aluminum modules.

“The piece refl ects the environ-ment from all different angles,” Stew-art said.

The sculpture is by Tomas Saraceno of Argentina. “Saraceno pushed the

limits of the uses of materials, takes them to a different level,” Stewart said.

“Cloud City” is free and open to the public from 1 to 7 p.m. during the festival June 23 to July 3, with an ex-tension for viewing until July 13. For visitors not able to maneuver the plat-forms, there is a virtual tour available at the Green Box campus offi ce on

Lake Street.This year’s festival artists include

the Colorado Springs Youth Sympho-ny, folk band Haunted Wind Chimes, fi ddler Kyle Dillingham, dance per-formers Keigwin + Company and Pu-litzer Prize winner Blake Bailey.

The entire schedule is available at www.greenboxarts.org.

Assembly for the 20-ton, 16-module sculpture, is a three-day process for the crew that hauled the “Cloud City” sculpture from the rooftop of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan to Green Mountain Falls. The sculpture, by Tomas Saraceno, is part of the Green Box Arts Festival, whose founder and owner of the aluminum sculpture is Christian Keesee, a part-time resident of the mountain community. The festival is from June 23 to July 3, and the piece will be on display until July 13. Photo by Pat Hill

Hepatitis A outbreak in frozen fruit blend Special to The Tribune

El Paso County Public

Health is urging residents who have consumed a fro-zen fruit blend potentially associated with a multi-state Hepatitis A outbreak to get a Hepatitis A vaccine within 14 days of eating the food.

El Paso County Public Health is working with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environ-ment, the Centers for Disease Control, Food and Drug Ad-ministration and other state health departments to inves-tigate the outbreak potential-ly associated with Townsend Farms Organic Antioxidant Blend from Costco.

As of June 5, El Paso County Public Health has investigated three suspected Hepatitis A cases associated with this outbreak. So far, cases have been reported in seven states: Colorado, New

Mexico, Nevada, Arizona, California, Utah and Hawaii.

“We urge people to check their freezers. If you have the product, dispose of it. Do not eat it,” said El Paso County Public Health Director Jill Law.

Hepatitis A is a highly contagious liver disease that results from infection with the Hepatitis A virus.

It can range in severity from a mild illness lasting a few weeks to a severe illness lasting several months.

The Hepatitis A vaccine can prevent infection if given within 14 days of infection. If you have received Hepatitis A vaccine in the past you do not need to be revaccinated.

Residents can seek the vaccine from a health care provider or local pharmacy. El Paso County Public Health will also be offering free Hep-atitis A vaccines at the Im-munization Clinic, 1675 W.

Garden of the Gods Road.The earliest case was re-

ported April 29. The number of cases in this outbreak may change because on average it takes 30 days to become ill with Hepatitis A after eating contaminated food.

The outbreak is be-lieved to be associated with Townsend Farms Organic Antioxidant Blend purchased from Costco.

This blend includes cher-ries, blueberries, pomegran-ate seeds, raspberries and strawberries. Environmen-tal Health Specialists with El Paso County Public Health have confi rmed that Costco has voluntarily removed this product from its two Colo-rado Springs stores.

Grass � re in Palmer Lake quickly contained Fire was started near railroad tracks by a blown transformer By Lisa Collacott [email protected]

A small fi re in Palmer Lake near the railroad tracks was quickly contained before it spread.

The fi re, which was caused by a blown transformer, started around 4:45 p.m. on June 3. The fi re was located off of Spruce Mountain Road just north of County Line Road near the Doug-las County line.

Palmer Lake Volunteer Fire Department Capt. Abby Vierling said fi re crews had the fi re con-

trolled 15 minutes after being called to the scene. She said the fi re was fully contained by 9 p.m. and crews remained on scene throughout the night to make sure it didn’t fl are up again.

She said the fi re was contained to a small area on the east side of the railroad tracks. It burned scrub oak and cattails.

It also burned the communi-cation power line poles for the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway.

There was no interruption to the train schedule.

Denver Capitol Dome project has link to Teller County

By Pat Hill [email protected]

With gold mined in Teller County, the Capitol Dome in Denver is being restored with a donation of 72 ounces of gold from the Cripple Creek & Victor Mining Co.

According to Jane Mannon, communi-ty affairs manager for CC&V, the price of gold at the time of the donation, Septem-ber 2011, was $1,500 an ounce.

“They send the pure gold bars to Italy where they make the gold leaf,” Man-non said. “There is nobody in the United States who makes gold leaf anymore.”

The project includes removing most of the copper and gold elements from the building, which have been damaged from more than one hundred years of weather, including the freeze-thaw cycle of Colo-rado climate.

“We are repairing the plaster under the gold dome to better support the water-tight system that will create the new cop-per and gold dome on the Capitol,” said Chris Derington, restoration superinten-dent with GH Phipps Construction.

The Capitol, an architectural landmark built in 1908, was adorned with gold do-nated by past owners of the same mine in Teller County.

Currently covered with a white shrink wrap plastic, the lower and upper drums have been sandblasted to remove all of the previous layers of paint. Three coats of high-performance paint have been ap-plied, Derington said.

“All of the windows from the upper por-tion of the building have been removed

and sent off site to be stripped of paint, repainted and reinstalled as the scaffold is being removed from the building,” he said.

In a ceremony at 11:45 a.m. June 18, the gold is scheduled to be turned over to Gov. John Hickenlooper. According to Mannon, CC & V employees will gather in

a line on the Capitol stairs before the cer-emony.

Application of the gold leaf is sched-uled to begin in August and is expected to take several months. “Most of it is gold leaf in a roll 65 feet long,” Mannon said.

The last phase of the restoration is sandblasting and painting the base of the drum, repairing and reinstalling the win-dows.

The entire project is expected to be completed by the summer of 2014.

A $17 million project, a portion of the money is from Limited Gaming Impact fund. “So they cut way back on gaming grants for historic projects because it went to the dome,” Mannon said. “We’ve been told that funds are going to be tight because a lot of the money is going to the Capitol.”

As well, Mannon expresses concern about the ongoing maintenance of the Capitol. “Is there a source of funding be-cause they let it go for so many years,” she said “On the one hand it’s good that the gaming dollars are there, but on the other hand, this is a function of government; they need to maintain their facilities.”

Colorado Preservation Inc. heads up the fundraising campaign in a partner-ship with the private Share in the Care organization.

Gold shining on Colorado’s domeGold is an impressive and appropriate

material to cover the top of the state’s top government building. The precious metal helped build and pay for much of the `Centennial State’s’ growth and expansion.

It called out to the first Argonauts of 1859 and inspired their push for “Pikes Peak or Bust.” Later, the yellow metal made possible `the greatest gold camp in the world’ at Cripple Creek and Victor.

Money earned in that district, trans-formed Colorado Springs into a world class tourist destination and paid for city, county and federal buildings all over town.

Huge lumps were pulled from Clear Creek and the central mountains near Breckenridge. If California hadn’t beaten us to it by 10 years, we probably would be known as the Golden State.

But the dome wasn’t always golden. In fact the whole building had a bit of a troubled history.

Henry Brown, (the same Brown who built another Denver landmark, the Brown Palace Hotel) donated the land for the building a full eight years before statehood in 1868, but because no fundraising was occurring at the time Colorado became a state, he filed a law suit, and put up a wooden fence around the property.

The suit went all the way to the United States Supreme Court where Brown’s revo-cation of the property was rejected. Even so, builders didn’t turn a shovel on the new structure until 1886.

And it was slow going for years after-ward.The first contractor encountered cost overruns early on and was replaced.

The Detroit architect who designed the building, Elijah Meyers, was fired after two years on the job. The second architect, Pete Gumry, was killed in an explosion of another building. Striking quarry workers slowed construction. The third architect, James Murdoch, resigned after three years.

Local architect, F.E. Edbrooke, (who had designed many local buildings including the Brown Palace) finally finished the job. It was Edbrooke who suggested that the dome be gilded with real Colorado gold.

But that part of the project didn’t hap-pen until 1908.The original dome’s copper sheathing turned a dull greenish hue shortly after completion.

A donation of 200 ounces of real Colorado gold, produced by the Colorado Mining Association at the urging of San Juan road-builder, newspaper founder, and

general all-purpose pioneer, Otto Mears -- finished off the building. Of course, the price of gold wasn’t over $1,200 an ounce at that time.

It was re-gilded in 1948, again in 1980 and once more in 1991.“Atop the dome is a glass globe four feet in diameter that sur-rounds a beacon-like light bulb. Originally it was thought that a statue, of the “most beautiful woman in Colorado” was the most appropriate way to adorn the dome.

One board member suggested his own daughter and with the female members of the legislature voting for themselves, the board did the politically correct thing and voted down the proposition,” according to virtual tour information at the state’s web site.In 2009, Governor Bill Ritter an-nounced that plans to repair the golden dome were put on hold.

The cast iron that makes up the bulk of the dome is rusting and crumbling. “But the state officials say the public is not in any danger.

Visitors have not been allowed on the walkway around the dome since a 10-pound piece of cast iron fell off in 2007,” said a June 30, 2009 article by Claire Trageser in the Denver Post.

Times were tough, but thanks to the mine and the casinos, at least Coloradans decided they could afford gold for the roof over our head.In September of 2011, Cripple Creek & Victor Mining delivered a 72-ounce, solid, gold button that will be

used to produce gold leaf for Colorado the Capitol Dome. At prices at that time, that was nearly $130,000 worth of gold.

“The dome now needs $17 million in urgent repairs that the state doesn’t have to spare, and gold is once again booming, with prices near all-time highs,” accord-ing to a Sept. 23 story by Kirk Johnson in the New York Times.“It’s your gold,” Mark Cutifani, the chief executive of AngloGold Ashanti, the parent company of CC & V, was quoted in the Times. Cutifani handed over the gold to Governor John Hicken-looper at a ceremony at the Capitol.

The company has owned CC & V Min-ing since 1999 and averages as much as 700 ounces of gold a day at its operation between Cripple Creek and Victor. It is the largest private employer in Teller County.

“But in another twist of history, much of the real money for the building’s broader repairs could also come, indirectly, from the once-moldering old mining towns themselves.”

The Times piece cited the gambling tax that goes to a statewide historic preserva-tion fund that state lawmakers used to begin the restoration process.

Colorado Preservation, Inc. was pushing to restore the fund, which they say would be exhausted if it has to pay for the entire project.

The repairs were to concentrate on the painted and gilded metal-clad areas and was expected to be completed in mid 2014.

Experience camping in colorful ColoradoJune is finally here! Not that we had an

extremely cold or snowy winter or spring but a few weeks ago when it was still cold I was ready for summer.

I’ve spent some time outdoors lately pulling weeds and planting flowers but summertime means camping time. June is after all National Camping Month. It’s time to pull out those sleeping bags and coolers and bring out the tent unless you own a camper.

I am personally done with tent camp-ing. We camped in a tent for many years but now that I am older I prefer to sleep off the ground and would like to stay dry if it should rain. We got soaked once while camping. We didn’t have the best tent and everything got wet. It was a good thing it was our last night of that camping trip

because it was not fun. We invested in a better tent the next time we went camping.

Now I just want to be warm and com-fortable and living in Colorado I have no desire to do any tent camping. I don’t want an encounter with a bear.

A couple of summers ago we made the six-hour drive to Ridgeway State Park

located between Montrose and Ouray. It is a beautiful place with plenty of camping sites. There is lake with a beach, plenty of places to hike or bike, fishing and for those die-hard golfers there are golf courses nearby.

Last summer we decided to try some-thing different and went to Cutty’s Hayden Creek Resort in Coaldale. We stood in a cabin. There are some really nice cabins there but we stood in one of the more rustic cabins. We had a great time but weren’t allowed to use a charcoal grill or have a campfire because of the high fire danger so that was a downer. The resort does have spots for campers and tents and they have two swimming pools, miniature golf, horseshoes and a basketball court. On our last day we decided to do something

we always wanted to do and that was go white water rafting. The Arkansas River is so close by there are plenty of places to go.

I’m told Mueller State Park is a great place to go camping. Although I’ve never been, my daughter has when she was in Girl Scouts; it’s much closer to home for a quick weekend camping trip. The park has 55 miles of trails and 132 camp sites to choose from. There are plenty of opportu-nities to view wildlife.

If the need arises to get out the park and take in some other attractions the Floris-sant Fossil Beds National Monument, Pikes Peak Cog Railway, Molly Kathleen Gold Mine and the Gold Belt Scenic Byway Tour is not too far way.

So how about a little camping this sum-mer?

Smart direction on school safetyArmed guards patrol banks, ballparks

and airports. It is rarely argued they are out of place in those venues.

Schools are different. They are places of learning, places for children, our na-tion’s most precious resource. Years after Columbine, months after Sandy Hook, talk of placing armed security personnel in schools evokes a broad range of reactions.

If done wrong, such a move could be disruptive and create fear among students. But if done right, there is little to lose and perhaps, lives to be saved.

We see a partnership in Douglas County between the school district and local law enforcement agencies as an example of a way to bolster security while allowing for an unfettered learning environment.

Beginning with the next school year in August, plain-clothes officers from the sheriff’s office and three police depart-ments will patrol the county’s public el-ementary and middle schools. At the high school level, armed resource officers have been a presence on campus for years.

A safety committee’s work on this new program began shortly after December’s mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elemen-tary in Connecticut. It is a multifaceted plan that incorporates security measures beyond the presence of officers, includ-ing improved screening of visitors and enhanced use of technology.

But the move to place armed officers on campuses, announced May 30, is what has made headlines. That’s understand-able. Creating a police state at our schools is not something anyone should want. To be clear, though, that’s not what is being

planned in Douglas County.The School Marshal Program will see

deputies and police officers assigned to schools in nearby proximity, and the offi-cers will be a daily presence at the schools. The plan is to allow for greater ability to respond to an incident, as well as be a deterrent to those with ill intent.

“We’re not aware of any other program like this in the country,” said Elizabeth Fa-gen, superintendent of the Douglas County School District.

Strengthening community bonds is among the most laudable elements of the program. Douglas County’s safety commit-tee has representatives from law enforce-ment agencies, the school district and various community members.

Some may question whether the pro-gram will be worth its price tag - at least $500,000 on the part of the school district and an undisclosed amount absorbed by the law enforcement agencies. It’s a fair question, but we’re not prepared to set a dollar limit on children’s safety.

Douglas County is among the most affluent areas of the entire nation, and the program’s cost may make it prohibitive for many school districts and communi-ties to fully implement. But the root ideas of a multi-pronged approach and com-munity cooperation are worthy of serious consideration in Colorado and around the country.

New sculptures dot Tri-Lakes landscapeNine pieces bring total to even dozenBy Lisa [email protected]

Tri-Lakes residents don’t necessar-ily have to go to an art gallery to view great pieces of art.

Thanks to Tri-Lakes Views and the outdoor sculpture exhibit, residents and visitors alike can see sculptures at various locations throughout the Tri-Lakes area. And as of June 5 there are nine new pieces to see.

Since 2009, Tri-Lakes Views has placed sculptures at the Tri-Lakes Center for the Arts, the Tri-Lakes Chamber of Commerce, the town of Monument and the sculpture park at the Lewis-Palmer School District 38 Administration Building also known as Big Red.

Betty Konarski, member of the steer-ing committee for Tri-Lakes Views, said a survey was taken a few years ago and it was found that people wanted to see art in their everyday lives and not just in art galleries.

The people were heard, and now once a year new sculptures are brought in.

There are a total of 12 sculptures with three of them being permanent.

Konarski said she likes that the other pieces are changed out every year. Sculp-tor Reven-Marie Swanson just had her fourth sculpture installed.

“She’s been here every year since we started. The beauty of her work is that she does something new every year,” Konarski said, adding that Swanson is the only art-ist that has had a sculptor on display all four years.

Swanson has contemporary sculptures throughout Colorado, including Pueb-lo, Castle Rock, Glenwood Springs and Grand Junction as well as in Texas, New Mexico, Wyoming and Washington. Her latest piece titled “Aspen” can be seen at the Tri-Lakes Chamber. “Aspen” is a kinet-

ic sculpture. Swanson works with several mediums that include metal, fiber, kinet-ic, stone, glass and ceramic.

“Betty has encouraged me to be here. It’s close by and it’s close to bike riding,” Swanson said.

Sculpture Jane Rankin has a piece in the outdoor sculpture exhibit for the first time. Her sculpture “My Book” has been placed at the sculpture park at Big Red.

Rankin said she was invited to apply to submit a piece and her sculpture was chosen.

“I feel honored,” Rankin said of being chosen.

Rankin uses bronze as her medium and has had sculptures in Breckenridge, Pueblo, Colorado Springs and Fort Collins as well as Florida, Iowa, California, Geor-gia, Mississippi, Illinois and Nebraska.

This year there are two new pieces at the TLCA, one at the Tri-Lakes Chamber, two at Monument town hall and four in the sculpture park.

Konarski said there will be an updated map available in August and if anyone wishes to be included in the map, they need to have outdoor art exhibit and con-tact Tri-Lakes Views at 719-481-2769 or send an email to [email protected].

An annual call to artists for the outdoor sculpture exhibit occurs from January to March each year.

Center for the Arts offers variety of eventsBy Lisa [email protected]

The long summer days can bring plen-ty of heat and thunderstorms but this summer will also bring plenty of events to the Tri-Lakes Center for the Arts.

From art exhibits to concerts to com-edies the TLCA has something for every-one to enjoy.

TLCA Executive Director Dr. Michael Maddox and the board of directors have dedicated themselves and worked dili-gently to bringing high quality shows to the Tri-Lakes area.

“It is rewarding to hear so many ex-claim that they love the idea they no longer have to go to Colorado Springs or Denver to attend music and theatrical events. They can attend great shows right here in their hometown,” Maddox said.

Black and White with Shades of Gray Exhibition

This photography and art exhibit will take place from June 4-29 in the main gal-lery. Works from several artists and pho-tographers including Sandra Dye, Char-lie Lehman, Debi Story Maddox, Alexa Mashour, Susie Rieple, Alyssa Rossbach, Carolanne Ryan, Dusty Severn, Lucy Simpson and Rich Spellman will be on display.

Lelia DeMello ExhibitionThe Lucy Owens Gallery will feature

the work of Lelia DeMello from June 4-29. DeMello is a self-taught colorist and has sold more than 900 paintings to collec-tors from around the world. Resorts have

commissioned her work and she has had 11 sold-out solo shows.

DeMello was born in Boston and raised on Cape Cod. She moved to Hawaii in 1982 and began her career in 1987.

Flying W Ranglers ConcertTheir home away from home, the Fly-

ing W Ranch, may have burned to the ground during the Waldo Canyon Fire but the Flying W Wranglers are still going strong, giving performances as often as they can.

They will bring their traditional cow-boy music to the TLCA on June 14.

The Wranglers have been a part of the Flying W Ranch for 54 years, making them the world’s second oldest singing group. Advance tickets for the concert are $15 for members and $18 for non-members.

Leon Littlebird EventLittlebird is a singer, songwriter and

performer who has roots both in the pio-neer and Native American cultures and will perform at the TLCA on June 21. Lit-tlebird combines Native American flute, guitar and percussion with storytelling.

A native Coloradan, his great-grandfa-ther was one of the settlers in Black Hawk but he also has roots that go back to the indegenous Navajo people of northern New Mexico.

Because of his heritage Littlebird has an understanding and love for the Colora-do mountains and the southwest. He has performed on world class stages.

Advance tickets for the Leon Littlebird Concert are $10 for members and $12 for non-members.

Kill the Critic Theatrical ProductionThis dramatic comedy will make it’s

debut at the TLCA with two performanc-es. The comedy was written by award win-ning playwright Todd Wallinger and will be directed by Nancy Holaday.

The story takes place in 1955 with a young actor, Trevor Stanton, getting ready to make his broadway debut. In order to avoid a poor review that could potentially ruin his career, Stanton decides to kidnap the most powerful New York City theatre critic and in the process accidently kills him.

In a press release sent out by TLCA Wallinger said, ”I’ve always loved the zany over-the-top humor of Mel Brooks and the Marx Brothers. But I wanted to go a little darker than they ever did. My experi-ence as a theatre critic gave me the inspi-ration for this play. I just hope it doesn’t give local actors any ideas.”

Wallinger was once the theatre critic for the Colorado Springs Gazette and cur-rently assumes that role for the Colorado Springs Independent. ”Kill the Critic” will debut at the TLCA on June 28 and 29. All tickets are $15.

Acoustic Eidolon ConcertThe duo of Joe Scott and Hannah Alkire

bring their music once again to the TLCA on July 13. They blend Celtic, Folk, Latin and World music with their double neck guitjo and cello.

The two have made nine CD’s and a DVD and have performed throughout the U.S., Europe, Australia and Canada. Ad-vanced tickets are $12 for members and $15 for non-members.

More lawns dying due to overwatering Special to the Tribune

The Colorado State University Ex-tension office has recently noticed a marked increase in the number of homeowners whose lawns are dying as a result of overwatering.

For drought-tolerant grass grow-ing in clay soil, prolonged watering often results in a soggy brown lawn.

With clay soil, if a person can push a screwdriver six inches into the ground then watering is not needed.

The amount of water a particular lawn needs on any given day is very much dependent upon the type of turf growing, the type of soil the turf is growing in and the weather.

For more information about keep-ing lawns green contact the Colorado Master Gardener Help Desk.

Colorado Master Gardener vol-unteers are available at 305 South Union Boulevard to diagnose plant problems and research and answer gardening and landscaping ques-tions from 9:00 a.m. to noon Mon-day-Friday.

Alternatively contact the help desk anytime by email at [email protected] or by phone 719-520-7684.

Pikes Peak International Hill Climb set for June 30More than two dozen local drivers will compete in the eventBy Danny Summers

With the 91st running of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb less than three weeks away, drivers and crews are putting the final touches on their cars and motor-cycles.

This year’s Race to the Clouds is being billed as one of the most exciting in the history of the event, which began in 1916. That year’s event was won by Fred Junk, who raced to the top of America’s Moun-tain in 20 minutes, 4.6 seconds. Junk’s winning time as been cut in half over the years.

Today’s event not only brings together top racers from around the United States, but drivers from all over the world. Up-wards of 20 nations will be represented at the June 30 event. They are coming from Japan, Latvia, France, Sweden, Canada, Brazil, Great Britain, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Italy, Scotland, Poland, Korea and New Zealand.

Colorado Springs and the surrounding area will be represented by more than two dozen drivers who hope to take home top prizes various divisions.

Woodland Park’s Clint Vahsholtz is pre-paring for his 23rd ascent up the moun-tain. Nineteen previous times Vahsholtz has come down a winner.

“We’ve been working pretty hard the last month,” Vahsholtz said. “We’re going straight-forward into this. It’s exciting.”

Vahsholtz will compete in the Open Wheel Division for the first time. He had competed in the Super Stock division for years, but race organizers eliminated that division this year.

Vahsholtz has taken the chasse off his Ford Mustang body and is using it for his new Ford Open car. It has wings and is

low to the ground.“It’s exotic,” he said. “We have a V-8

engine in it with about 860 horsepower, compared to 620 that we were running before.

“If we can figure things out with this car, I think it will run somewhere between (nine minutes, 40 seconds) and 10:15.

A time of 9:40 would break the exist-ing Hill Climb record by more than six seconds. It would also shatter Vahsholtz’s personal-best time by more than a min-ute. The field will include 91 autos and 71 motorcycles for 162 competitors who want to challenge America’s Mountain and its finish line at its 14,110-foot sum-mit.

Among the 30 or so drivers from the Colorado Springs and Tri-Lakes area are

Jimmy Kenney (Unlimited), David Don-ner (Time Attack), Fred Weitch (Time At-tack), Donner Billingsly (Open Wheel), Dan Novembre (Open Wheel), Chris Strauch (Open Wheel), Dave Wood (Open Wheel), Rod Moberly (Pikes Peak Open), Randy Schranz (Pikes Peak Open), Ralph Murdock (Pikes Peak Vintage), Chris Len-non (Pikes Peak Vintage) and Dan Elders (Pikes Peak Super Bike 750).

“You have drivers from every form of motorsport, every manufacturer, they have all done it and it’s great to be a part of this truly remarkable event,” Donner said. “My grandfather helped revive it after World War II, my dad won it three times in a Porsche, and my late brother Bobby won it in 1989. This event has so much personal meaning it’s difficult to

state.”The loaded Unlimited automobile di-

vision features the two drivers – French star Romain Dumas and veteran Rhys Millen – who took turns in breaking the all-time course record during last year’s race.

Millen set the course record of 9:46.164 in winning the Time Attack division, and Dumas broke the old mark a bit earlier in the race by clocking 9:46.181 in winning the Pikes Peak Open division. Both driv-ers moved to Unlimited this year, setting up a classic showdown in the same field.

Dumas, last year’s Rookie of the Year, will be joining the big cars in the Unlim-ited field with a brand-new Norma M20F-CPP prototype entry in hopes of even a faster time on the asphalt 12.42 mile course.

Millen has entered in a racy Hyundai PM580T. Millen has loaned out his re-cord-setting auto from last year – a Hyun-dai Genesis Coupe – to the veteran Paul Dallenbach of Basalt, who becomes one of the favorites this year in the Time At-tack division.

“I think we could see some times in the low 9s this year,” Vahsholtzsaid. “There are a bunch of good divers in the Unlim-ited

division with a lot of money backing ‘em.”*

There is also a huge buzz in the Electric Auto division, where one of the race’s leg-ends, Japan’s Nobuhiro “Monster” Tajima, is entered again in his Pikes Peak Special E-Runner. Tajima made headlines last year when his car caught fire and forced the former course record holder – the first to crack the 10-minute mark (in 2011) – out of the race. Tajima won the Unlimited division nine times on the Peak.*

*He will be up against another of the event’s legends, Rod Millen, the father of Rhys Millen, and winner of the Unlimited title five times. In 2011, Rod returned to Pikes Peak after a lengthy absence and triumphed in the Time Attack 2WD divi-sion.*

Air Force Football Coach Troy Calhoun to Headline Event

By Danny Summers COLORADO SPRINGS – Air Force Acad-

emy football coach Troy Calhoun will head-line the Colorado Springs Sports Corpora-tion College Football Luncheon on June 19.

Calhoun will be joined by other top foot-ball coaches from around the state at the event, which will be held at the Cheyenne Mountain Resort.

Taking center stage with Calhoun will be new University of Colorado head coach Mike MacIntrye, Colorado State coach Jim McElwain, CSU-Pueblo coach John Wristen and Northern Colorado coach Earnest Col-lins, Jr. Calhoun is the only Falcons coach in the 100-plus year history of service acad-emy football to lead teams to at least seven wins and a bowl game in each of his fi rst fi ve seasons.

Calhoun was a semifi nalist for the 2010 Paterno National Coach of the Year award for his efforts on and off the fi eld.

His players have also been amazingly

successful fi nishing their academic and leadership responsibilities.

The Air Force football team’s most recent NCAA APR is an astounding 980 which once again places the Academy amongst the na-tion’s top 10 in the sport of football.

Calhoun is 47-31 in six seasons after tak-ing over a program that had posted three straight losing seasons before his arrival. He has posted wins at Notre Dame and Utah, and led the Falcons to a school-record six straight bowl games.

Last season the Falcons competed in the Armed Forces Bowl andfi nished the season with a 6-7 overall mark.

In 2011, he led the school to its fi rst back-to-back Commander-in-Chief’s Tro-phy titles since 2002 with victories over Army and Navy.

In Mountain West Conference play Cal-houn is 29-18 and his conference winning percentage (.617) is the fi fth best in confer-ence history Air Force opens its season Aug. 31 against Colgate at Falcon Stadium.

THORNE, LARSEN SHINE AT COORS FIELDDerek Larsen and Carter Thorne, Palm-

er Ridge baseball players who helped the Bears to a postseason berth last month, got to display their talents at Coors Field on June 2 in the Colorado Rockies Futures game.

The game pitted seniors against juniors and took place after the Rockies’ 7-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. More than 50 of the state’s top prep players took part in the affair. The seniors won the game 4-1.

Thorne, representing the junior squad, doubled and struck out in his two plate ap-pearances.

Larsen played for the senior squad. He walked and grounded out.

Pedro was a Tewa Indian from the Santa Clara Pueblo in New Mexico, who became known locally as “Chief Manitou.” This program was rescheduled from February due to bad weather. Robert became interested in the history of “Chief Manitou” while exploring Pedro’s Cave near the Cave of the Winds, which was named for Pedro Cajete. Robert’s research uncovered information about “Chief Manitou,” his travels, and his impact on the tourist industry of this region in the early part of the Twentieth Century. He also found “Chief Manitou” was well liked wherever he went, and why, back in his Pueblo, Pedro became known as “The Great Storyteller.” This event is free and refreshments will be served after the presentation.

Fire� ghter labor bill signed June 5 Compromise measure allows ballot issues, talks on safety By Vic Vela [email protected]

In one of his fi nal ac-tions taken on bills that passed the Legislature this year, Gov. John Hicken-looper on June 5 signed into law a measure that ex-pands labor rights for fi re-fi ghters in Colorado.

There was uncertainty as to whether the gover-nor would sign Senate Bill 25, especially after he had threatened to veto the orig-inal version of the bill ear-lier this year.

Former Gov. Bill Ritter vetoed similar legislation while he was in offi ce.

But Hickenlooper did indeed provide his signa-ture to the Colorado Fire-fi ghter Safety Act, two days before the deadline passed for all bills to be signed into law.

The law allows Colorado fi refi ghters to have bar-gaining discussions on is-sues pertaining to job safe-ty, regardless of whether individual municipalities prohibit collective bargain-ing.

However, the legislation does not mandate collec-tive bargaining rights on compensatory matters, such as salary, as was laid out in the original ver-sion of the bill. Nor does it mandate union organizing without a vote taking place in that particular commu-

nity.Hickenlooper said the

fi nal version of the bill was a compromise that he could accept.

“Clearly we had to do something to allow fi re-fi ghters to meet and con-fer,” Hickenlooper told reporters after signing the bill. “It doesn’t make it any easier for them to get col-lective bargaining ....”

The legislation gives professional fi refi ghters the opportunity to put labor rights issues on the ballot and allows them the oppor-tunity to openly participate in the political process — something that is prohibit-ed by some municipalities.

Republicans argued during the legislative pro-cess that the bill usurps the authority of local govern-ments to make bargaining rights decisions on their own. And the Colorado Mu-nicipal League criticized the governor’s decision to sign the legislation.

Hickenlooper took issue with those concerns in a written statement that was distributed to reporters fol-lowing his remarks.

“As we witnessed last summer, fi refi ghters from various locales were de-ployed to risk their lives outside the boundaries of their own immediate com-munities,” Hickenlooper wrote. “Their safety and the effectiveness of their equipment and training are a matter of mixed state-local concern.”

The bill was sponsored by Sen. Lois Tochtrop of Thornton and Rep. Angela Williams of Denver, both of whom are Democrats.

Public NoticeMONUMENT TOWN OF 2013 Drinking Water Quality Report For Calendar Year 2012 Public Water System ID: CO0121475

Esta es información importante. Si no la pueden leer, necesitan que alguien se la traduzca.

We are pleased to present to you this year’s water quality report. Our con-stant goal is to provide you with a safe and dependable supply of drinking wa-ter. Please contact TOM THARNISH at 719-499-1126 with any questions about the Drinking Consumer Confidence Rule (CCR) or for public participation oppor-tunities that may affect the water quality. General InformationAll drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. More information about con-taminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental

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

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

The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs,

and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dis-solves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activ-ity. Contaminants that may be present in source water include:

•Microbial contaminants: viruses and bacteria that may come from sewage treat-ment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife.•Inorganic contaminants: salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming.•Pesticides and herbicides: may come from a variety of sources, such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses.•Radioactive contaminants: can be natu-rally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.•Organic chemical contaminants: including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are byproducts of industrial pro-

cesses and petroleum production, and also may come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff, and septic systems.

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

Lead in Drinking WaterIf present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems (especially for pregnant women and young children). It is possible that lead levels at your home may be higher than other homes in the community as a result of materials used in your home’s plumbing. If you are con-cerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead ex-posure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking

or cooking. Additional information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791) or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.

Source Water Assessment and Protec-tion (SWAP)The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has provided us with a Source Water Assessment Report for our water supply. For general information or to obtain a copy of the report please visit http://wqcdcompliance.com/ccr. The report is located under “Source Water Assessment Reports”, and then “Assessment Report by County”. Select EL PASO County and find 121475; MONUMENT TOWN OF or by contacting TOM THARNISH at 719-499-1126. The Source Water Assessment Report provides a screening-level evaluation of potential contamination that could occur. It does not mean that the contamination has or will occur. We can use this information to evaluate the need to improve our current water treatment capabilities and prepare

for future contamination threats. This can help us ensure that quality finished water is delivered to your homes. In addition, the source water assessment results provide a starting point for developing a source water protection plan. Potential sources of contamination in our source water area are listed on the next page.

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

The State of Colorado requires us to monitor for certain contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants are not expected to vary significantly from year to year, or the system is not considered vulnerable to this type of contamination. Therefore, some of our data, though representative, may be more than one year old. Violations and Formal Enforcement Actions, if any, are reported in the next section of this report. Note: Only detected contaminants sampled within the last 5 years appear in this report. If no tables appear in this section then no contaminants were detected in the last round of monitoring.

Additional Violation Information

Note: If any violation relates to failing to install adequate filtration or disinfection equipment or processes, or have had a failure of such equipment or processes then the water may be inadequately treated. Inadequately treated water may contain disease-causing organisms. These organisms include bacteria, viruses, and parasites, which can cause symptoms such as nausea, cramps, diarrhea, and associated headaches. Explanation of the violation(s) and the steps taken to resolve them:

Note: The Town of Monument Water Department would like to take this opportunity to explain the violation of the combined radium MCL. The Town of Monument�s water system consists of 9 groundwater wells that supply water to the distribution system at 7 different locations. The source of the combined radium violation was our well #6. Well #6 produces about 20 gallons per minute and accounts for 1% of our total water production. The Town of Monument has shut down well #6 until an engineering evaluation can be completed and the future of the well is determined. All other wells have tested below the combined radium MCL and are tested on a routine basis. The Town of Monuments� water system is constantly monitored, sampled and is safe to drink.
