Potential oil, gas drilling in future Forest Service is reviewing stipulations and is seeking public comment By Lisa Collacott [email protected]

Residents of the Tri-Lakes area were invited to a public scoping meeting about potential plans by the Bureau of Land Management to open drilling leases.

The meeting, which was one of five meetings that took place across Colo-rado and Kansas, took place May 22 at Bear Creek Elementary School in Monu-ment. Other meetings have taken place in Fairplay, Walsenburg and Springfield and Elkhart, Kan.

The meeting was put together by the U.S. Forest Service and Oscar Martinez, ecosystem staff officer for the forest ser-vice.

Potential oil and gas drilling could take place in the Pike and San Isabel National Forests and the Cimarron and Comanche Grasslands.

A review of stipulations is being done by the Forest Service.

Oil and gas stipulations are restrictions that are put on federal surface lands that are designated to protect an identified re-source from potential oil and gas leasing impacts.

“We are in the early stages of the Envi-ronmental Impact Statement for a review of stipulations for drilling should it occur on that surface,” Martinez said, adding that the forest service owns the surface rights and BLM owns the sub-surface rights.

According to the Code of Federal Regu-lations, 36 CFR 228.102(e) (1), if there is significant new information or circum-stances requiring an environmental anal-ysis, an environmental analysis must be done before leasing decisions for specific lands shall be made.

The forest service wants input from citizens to identify cultural, social, eco-nomic or environmental importance that could be impacted by oil and gas leasing. Resources to be considered would be rec-reation, wildlife and their habitat, visuals heritage, ground and surface water, range, noxious weeds, air quality, special interest

areas, paleontological, research natural areas, soils and oil and gas resources.

The forests have a potential for coal-bed methane wells and oil and gas wells while the grasslands only potential for oil and gas wells according to information that was given to citizens who attended the meetings.

Maps of the study area were shown at the meetings.

Maps as well as additional informa-tion are available at http://www.fs.usda.gov/detai l/psicc/landmanagement/projects/?cid=stelprdb5418254.

The public has until June 20 to turn in comments about their concerns or possi-ble alternatives that the forest service has not considered.

Comments can be sent electronically at the website or they can be mailed to: PSICC Oil and Gas Scoping Comments, PSICC Supervisor’s Office 2840 Kachina Drive Pueblo, Colo. 81008.

Martinez said the draft should be ready by fall and then there will be an opportu-nity for public input again.

“We’re still about a year-and-a-half away from the final decision,” Martinez said.

Trees along Second Street dying � ree trees have been replaced but several more need attention By Lisa Collacott [email protected]

The road to historic downtown Monu-ment is lined with trees and while it is an improvement to the landscape many trees have not survived the winter.

As Tom Tharnish, director of public works for the town of Monument told the board of trustees at the last board meeting, “There are several trees on life support.”

Tharnish has received several calls from citizens regarding the trees and told The Tribune that three trees were replaced about three weeks ago. He has concerns about several others.

“Eight trees might not make it,” Tharnish said.

He said he has emails into Timberline Landscaping, the landscaping company that originally planted the trees along Sec-ond Street in the early fall, but as of May 24 he had not heard back from them.

He said when the trees were planted they were put in with a two year warranty.

He said the trees that were not replaced were injected with Superthrive, a vitamin and mineral supplement to help them grow, but said the trees look worse than they did

before. He said he wants to know what Tim-berline Landscaping’s plan and schedule is regarding the trees that are dying. Tharnish said the public works department might have to take steps to remove the trees them-selves until new ones are planted.

“In the end we’ll get what we paid for and they will get replaced,” Tharnish said.

There were a total of 43 trees planted measuring 12-15 feet tall.

The comparison of the live trees and one that is dying is evident on the south side of Second Street. Several of the trees that were planted in the fall have died and three have been replaced. The town of Monument is expecting to have the others replaced because there is a two year warranty on the trees. Photo by Lisa Collacott

Kinetic sculptures make their way through MonumentThe first kinetic sculpture derby will take place on Labor DayBy Lisa [email protected]

A kinetic sculptures derby may be for-eign to some but if all goes as planned peo-ple will flock to Monument year after year just to watch the event.

On Labor Day the first annual Monu-ment in Motion Kinetic Sculpture Derby will take place. The race will start in Monu-ment, make its way up to Palmer Lake and then head back to Monument.

“We wanted to bring an event here that is known to Monument,” Lynn Manzer, vice-chair of the Tri-Lakes Chamber of Commerce, said.

Manzer said kinetic sculptures are hu-man powered works of art. They are custom built and Manzer said typically they are made with two bicycles welded together.

The idea for kinetic sculpture racing started in 1969 in Ferndale, Calif. when a local sculptor, Hobart Brown, decided he wanted to improve the appearance of his son’s tricycle. He welded two additional wheels on the tricycle and after a fellow art-ist saw it he challenged Brown to a race.

Terri Hayes, executive director of the Tri-Lakes Chamber, said Manitou Springs is known for its annual coffin race and she is hoping that the kinetic sculpture derby is something Monument becomes known for.

“We really want to make this a legacy,” Hayes said.

But Manzer said they first have to get it off the ground. She said they need entries. The chamber is hoping for 20-30 entries the first year. It is their hope that when people come out and see the kinetic sculptures and the race they will want to get involved next year.

The Monument Hill Kiwanis is building one with the Emily Griffiths Center.

The sculptures must be no more than 8 feet wide, 13 feet high and 35 feet long. Each sculpture must have one or more pilots and

each pilot must have one human ground crew.

Each sculpture can also have one doolie or passenger. At least one pilot must be 18 years or older.

Hayes and Manzer hope that this is a fun event for spectators and those racing the ki-netic sculptures. Costumes are encouraged as well as team colors and cheering squads

and teams are highly encouraged to submit bribes for points.

The derby parade will begin at 10:00 a.m. on Sept. 2. Back this year will be the Labor Day Street Fair on Front Street. There will be games and music in Limbach Park and food vendors and a beer garden. Hayes said that any vendor who signs up for both the Fourth of July and the Labor Day street fairs

will receive a discount.Anyone interested in registering for the

Kinetic Sculpture Derby can download an application at the chamber website at www.trilakeschamber.com or for more informa-tion call 719-481-3282.

“We want to give Monument its own signature event. The town is really excited about it,” Manzer added.

The Monument Hill Kiwanis Club along with the Emily Griffith Center is working on a kinetic sculpture to enter into the derby which will take place Labor Day. Kinetic sculptures are usually made with bicycles that are welded together and have additional parts to it. This will be the first annual kinetic sculpture derby in Monument. Courtesy photo

Fishing derby draws casting crowd“Hooked on Monument Lake” brings out fishing fanatics in schoolsStaff Report

The Tri-Lakes Chamber of Commerce’s annual fishing derby drew quite the crowd, considering the less-than-perfect weather Saturday at Monument Lake.

Children 10 and under participated in the event that lasted from 8 a.m. to noon at Monument Lake.

The major sponsor of the derby was Cen-turyLink, and the Colorado Division of Wild-life provided a limited supply of rods and reels for the derby at no charge.

Monument bank robbed Sheri� ’s o� ce is asking for public’s assistance By Lisa Collacott [email protected]

The El Paso County Sheriff’s Offi ce is asking for the public’s assistance in iden-tifying a man who robbed the People’s Na-tional Bank.

A man walked into the bank, located on Woodmoor Drive, at approximately 1:50 p.m. on May 24 and demanded money

from the teller. The sheriff’s offi ce said he got away with an undisclosed amount of cash. The man is described as a white male, between 6 feet 4 inches and 6 feet 6 inches tall with facial hair. He was wearing a green t-shirt, black pants and a white baseball cap with it turned backwards.

As of May 28 Sgt. Joseph Roybal, spokes-person with the sheriff’s offi ce said no ar-rest has been made.

The sheriff’s offi ce is asking that if any-one recognizes the suspect from the pic-tures that were released to call 719-390-5555.

Clerk and recorder to serve as DEO for Monument area recall Special to The Tribune

The El Paso County Clerk and Recorder’s Offi ce approved as to form separate recall petitions for two members of the Village Center Metropolitan Board, a district locat-ed in the Monument area.

As of May 25 recall organizers have 60 days to gather 102 signatures to recall each respective board member Bruce Hacker and Steven Barr.

Due to the changes to Colorado State law made in House Bill 13-1303, Clerk and Recorder Wayne Williams will serve as the Designated Election Offi cial.

William’s offi ce will be responsible for the printing and mailing of ballots as well as establishing the four Voter Service and Poll-ing Centers mandated under the new law to serve the 254 eligible electors that make up the Village Center Metropolitan District.

The Clerk and Recorder’s Offi ce has esti-mated the cost of this potential recall elec-

tion for this district to be $3,422.41, a cost that will be charged to the Village Center Metropolitan District and not the taxpayers of El Paso County.

“It is disappointing that the state in-creased the costs of recall elections by en-acting HB13-1303 on a party-line vote,” noted Clerk and Recorder Wayne Williams, who testifi ed against the legislation be-cause of the cost increases. “Should the recall organizers gather the necessary num-ber of signatures to recall one or both board members I am confi dent that my able staff will run a fair and effi cient election given the changes to the law. Our Elections Man-ager Liz Olson and her staff are well quali-fi ed to provide the services now required to run this election.”

It also should be noted that the language included on the recall petition forms ap-proved by the Clerk and Recorder’s Offi ce should not be viewed as supporting or re-futing the allegations contained in the re-call petition forms.

‘Heat is On’ for another year Stepped-up DUI enforcement aims to keep roads safe Special to The Tribune State of Colorado

Just as Memorial Day weekend kicks off a summer fi lled with outdoor events, it also kicks-off the 100 deadliest days on Colora-do roads and highways and the 15th annual statewide “Heat Is On” campaign.

During 12 specifi ed national holiday periods and large public events through-out the year, the Colorado Department of Transportation, the Colorado State Pa-trol, and local law enforcement agencies throughout the state work together to en-sure Coloradans stay safe by stepping up DUI enforcement.

“Throughout the summer, law enforce-ment will work hard to protect lives and arrest those who choose to put themselves

and others in harm’s way,” said Col. Scott Hernandez, chief of the Colorado State Pa-trol. “The Colorado State Patrol enforces zero tolerance for impaired driving.”

“We launched the ‘Heat Is On’ campaign 15 years ago in response to the summer months being the deadliest time on Colo-rado roads,” said Darrell Lingk, Director of the Offi ce of Transportation Safety at CDOT.

“Our goal is to educate the public on the dangers of driving under the infl uence of drugs and alcohol, which can easily be avoided by designating a sober driver.”

During the Memorial Day weekend en-forcement period last year, there were 542 DUI arrests made statewide. To reduce the number of DUI arrests in Colorado, law en-forcement will be out on the roads, making sure that Coloradans are protecting them-selves and others by making safe travel decisions. More details about the DUI en-forcement plans and arrest results can be found at HeatIsOnColorado.com.

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS

A fond farewell: The last word, maybe This is (probably) the last column I will

write for Colorado Community Media. I re-tired on May 31, which was the drop-dead deadline for this week’s papers.

I was a stay-at-home mom until circum-stances forced me to think about sup-porting myself and my kids. I went back to school on what turned out to be the fi ve-year plan.

I discovered I liked writing and was already used to being poor so I earned a degree in journalism.

I began writing columns and news sto-ries for student newspapers at Pikes Peak Community College in the mid-’90s and then at Colorado State University-Pueblo in the late ‘90s.

My fi rst job three days after gradua-tion in 1999 was at the no-longer-existing Pueblo Business Journal. It was only 25 hours a week and I still had kids to support and I was looking for a different job when

then-Ute Pass Courier editor Jim Lovely called me in August of that year. The rest is history.

For the last almost 14 years, I have come to know the local communities in ways I never thought possible. The fi rst time I went to Victor to interview a new police chief I still lived in Pueblo, almost one mile lower.

After climbing the stairs to his offi ce, the chief asked me if I needed CPR. He was

nice-looking and I should have accepted!The people and communities in

Teller County and the eastern edge of Park County have been fun to cover. Two years ago I added the northern El Paso County communities to that fun-to-cover category when I started writing for our sister paper, The Tribune.

I’ve had close encounters with Black Angus cattle sleeping on Teller County Road 81 after Victor City Council meetings, driven home at 3 a.m. after an election in Cripple Creek in the light from a full moon refl ecting off new snow on Colorado 67, waited for elk cows to amble across Teller CR 5, tripped over uncounted numbers of obstacles (klutzy children grow up to be klutzy adults), swerved for falling rocks and mule deer in Ute Pass, plowed through fog too thick to see the highway’s center line, lost my way in Black Forest and reported on two major fi res.

I’ve also learned a few things, including:Never write about goats; you’ll always

get something wrong.Facts are unlikely to change people’s

opinions.Deadlines are the only way some of us

get things done.Hold your breath when you snap photos

in subzero temperatures.Everyone has a story worth telling.Along the way I have met a lot of won-

derful people whom I will greatly miss. You know who you are: you’re the people who smile while you’re getting things done, keeping us safe, keeping us informed, teaching our children and helping our elderly and needy.

Some of you are dedicated volunteers while others perform work way beyond the job for which you are being paid.

Keep up the good work and thanks for the memories. Watch for me; I’ll be around.

Bankrupting more than the English language Fame is a magnifying glass that can,

over time, wither something away to noth-ing.

Or depending on a tender substance’s stability, ignite and eliminate it in a puff of smoke.

Almost literally at the turn of the centu-ry, Jan. 4, 1900, Irving Howbert turned the fi rst shovelful of dirt on Colorado Springs & Cripple Creek District Railway Company.

By April 8, 1901, the railroad com-monly known as `The Short Line’ began operations on the brief but `storied’ line.Some of the stories are true; but many are as spurious as some hard-luck miner’s ex-planation of what happened to his fortune and the related could-have-beens.

A rail jaunt along the these tracks be-came known as “The Trip which bankrupts the English Language.,” a phrase that is of-ten attributed to Teddy Roosevelt who vis-ited Victor and the Cripple Creek District on at least two different occasions via this rail route.

Despite its scenic excellence, the `Short Line’ had a very limited life span. By 1922, declining gold ore shipments forced aban-donment of the rails.

W.D. Corely, Sr., of Colorado Springs, bought the railroad in 1922 and junked the rails and equipment to convert the road-bed into a scenic highway.

Corely operated it as a toll road under permit with the U.S. Forest Service until

1939, when it reverted to the public as a free road, by terms of his permit.

A 1946 article in Highway Magazine by Ray Colwell, noted the diffi culties involved in building the original road.

“There were few places where locating engineers could not avoid the necessity of tunneling through the Pikes Peak granite. Tunnels were decided upon only as a last resort, for the Short Line was built entirely with hand labor, churn drills, black powder and horse drawn dump carts.

Tunnel construction was slow and cost-ly, but nine of them, ranging up to 550 feet in length, were fi nally completed,” wrote Colwell.

All of the high trestles, which carried the railroad, have since been fi lled or bypassed and the road has been rerouted around the various tunnels over the decades.

“Designed for the standard gauge rail-way, they (the tunnels) were large bores and

required a great many 12 x 12-inch timbers of coast fi r to hold the badly cracked rock, especially close to the portals. Although the good circulation of dry air 8,700 feet above sea level minimized rot, the crush-ing weight eventually had its effect.

Some of the 12-inch timbers were com-pressed to 6 inches or less in thickness and three of the tunnels gradually became un-safe for public use.

Two of them were bypassed by rerout-ing the traffi c over existing roads but “Tunnel Six” could not be replaced so eas-ily,” recalled Colwell in the 1946 article.This meant whittling several hundred feet of shelf road out of almost vertical cliff.

“Three men and a foreman, using mod-ern equipment and high explosives, built 1,000 feet of new road under very diffi cult conditions in 200-man-days. They moved 4,700 yards of solid rock and 500 yards of loose rock and dirt with the aid of 3,100 pounds of C-3 plastic explosive,” he said of the tunnel rerouting in the late 1940s.

Tunnel Three partially collapsed in 1988 and an eight-mile section of the original road was closed as a result.

The Old Stage Road began being used as an alternate way of getting around this section. In 1997, a group wanting to raise money to fi x the tunnel and the U.S. Forest Service responded with a multi-use plan in 1999 that supported this effort.

In 1998, a group called the Short Line to

Cripple Creek, Inc. successfully nominated the entire road as a National Historic Place.

Because of failure to secure enough funding for the repairs to the tunnel and controversy over what should be done, a new “scoping report” was ordered in late 2000 to look at the social and recreational impacts of repairing the road.

On February 13, 2006, a fi re destroyed much of the timber supports in Tunnel Three and though arson was assumed to have caused the fi re, the tunnel was then too dangerous to conduct a proper inves-tigation.

Among the fables surrounding the road and the tunnels is a tale of a mythical school bus fi lled with elementary students on a fi eld trip from a Cripple Creek elemen-tary school that was buried in a tunnel col-lapse on Tunnel Three.

Hauntings, characterized by bleeding walls, fi ngerprints on cars, giggling and laughing of school children in the fi rst two tunnels and screams from Tunnel Three. No such accident ever occurred.

Additionally, the area has gained a repu-tation as a `body dump’ for homicide vic-tims according to the lore.

Recently, in February of 2009, hikers found a human jaw bone and later police investigators, using cadaver dogs, located additional human remains including ribs and long bones in the general area accord-ing to reports at the time.

Dogs truly are man’s best friend It’s always hard to say goodbye to a fam-

ily pet. They become part of the family so losing them is so diffi cult.

On May 15 we had to say goodbye to our beloved Labrador-German Shepherd mix Rocky. Rocky was almost 14-years-old. We got him from the Nevada SPCA No-Kill Animal Shelter in Las Vegas when he was 10-weeks-old. Our daughter had just turned seven-months-old and at fi rst I was against it thinking it would be too much to care for a puppy and a baby at the same time but my husband had his heart set on this little puppy. So with two kids in tow I went down to the shelter to see the puppy.

The shelter wanted to make sure he was okay around kids and he was so gentle I gave in. That started the many happy years with Rocky. He grew extremely attached to us as well. If we were leaving for vacation he would panic that we were leaving him be-hind. We always took him with us camping or on trips to Colorado to visit my family.

Rocky used to like to eat rocks and that was after we gave him the name Rocky. We used to joke that we should get a female dog and name her Adrianne, you know like the Rocky movies, or name the dog Bull-winkle. My husband used to pick the dog up and cradle him like a baby in his lap even though Rocky weighed nearly 75 pounds.

When we fi rst brought him home our son, who was three at the time, used to try to kick the dog not knowing that’s not how one treats an animal. When our son would go out to the backyard to play he would ask how come Rocky keeps trying to bite his shoes and I replied, “That’s because you

keep trying to kick him. You aren’t supposed to kick a dog.”

Rocky was a very good watch dog. He had a deep bark. He loved to go for walks and actually walked us because he pulled whoever was walking him. He thought every dog wanted to be his friend so we didn’t go to dog parks very often. The only person he ever bit was my three-year-old niece who went to pet him while he was eating. That story is a whole column in itself. He got in a lot of trouble and wouldn’t even look at her the next day.

Rocky’s back legs weren’t working well and sometimes he could barely walk. He was also having seizures.

We had been preparing ourselves that the end was near and even took him to the vet a few weeks ago to put him down but brought him back home with some medica-tion instead. The night before we put him down he started having seizures and never came out of them. He might have even had a stroke so we had no choice but to take him in. Though he’s no longer suffering our hearts are left with a void.

He was truly the best dog.

Roy A. DavisFebruary 9, 1925 - May 27, 2013

Roy A. Davis, age 88, passed away in his Colorado Springs home on May 27, 2013.

Roy A. Davis was the fifth of 14 children born to Al-bert and Ella Davis. He was born on February 9, 1925 and spent his formative years on the family’s farm in the Clarence Center, NY area. Although beginning his school years in a one-room school, he eventually completed his secondary education at Messiah Acad-emy, now known as Messiah College, in Grantham, PA. After short stints of farming, manufacturing, and working in California orange groves, Roy began his 38-year pro-fessional career working for a large Western New York school district. Starting as a maintenance worker, he rose through the ranks to even-tually become the Director for nearly the entire non-teaching part of the district. During his school career, he also functioned as the school district’s manager for 3 large, multi-million dollar school building projects. During his working life, he also served his community as a church leader, volunteer firefighter, and eventually Chief of his local volunteer fire company.

As a life-long adventurer, Roy loved travelling and ex-ploring. Whether camping, hiking, hunting, or pursuing any of his outdoor passions, he always enjoyed new plac-es and new things. Roy and

his wife, Gail, shared their love of travel by organizing and leading many group hiking trips to England. Roy and Gail also founded the Niagara Frontier American Volkssport Association Club and organized walking tours of the Buffalo and Niagara Falls, NY area. After mov-ing to Colorado Springs in 2001, as health permitted, they continued to enjoy hik-ing and travel. Roy also en-joyed recreational aviation, becoming a licensed private pilot and active participant in the operation of the Ak-ron, NY airport.

Roy’s wife of 56 years pre-ceded him in death in 2011. Survivors include two chil-dren, Ken (Julie) Davis of Colorado Springs, and Ann (Donald) Lowe of Spen-cerport, New York, and six grandchildren, Matt, Au-brey, Nick, Nate, Margy, and Katie. He is also survived by 5 of his 13 brothers and sis-ters.

The family would like to thank the Mountain Com-munity Mennonite Church, Saint Matthias Episcopal Church, and Tri-Lakes Cha-pel families for their prayers and support.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests a memo-rial contribution to Messiah Lifeways, Attn: Gift Develop-ment, 100 Mount Allen Dr., Mechanicsburg, PA 17055.

First class to attend all DCC schools graduatesThird annual commencement for Discovery Canyon CampusBy Norma [email protected]

The Discovery Canyon Campus High School seniors who graduated on May 23 at Clune Arena at the U.S. Air Force Academy were the first students who have attended all three levels of Discov-ery Canyon Campus schools.

Seven years ago they were fifth-graders at the then brand new Acade-my School District 20 DCC Elementary

School.D-20 doesn’t choose valedictorians

and salutatorians so there were no vale-dictorian or salutatorian speakers, but there were plenty of musical numbers by the Discovery Canyon Graduation Ensemble, the Discovery Canyon a cap-pella singing group Prism — under the directorship of MaryAnn Brilleslyper — and seniors Anna Carrigan singing and playing the piano, Brennan Runzo sing-ing and playing the guitar and Chris Born on the violin.

Principal James E. Bailey told the students to choose to live a gracious life while District Superintendent Mark Hatchell, who started to work for the district when these seniors were in kin-dergarten, told them that graduation isn’t the end of anything but rather it’s a passage to the rest of their lives.

BOCC supports sheriffs’ lawsuit against gun lawsSpecial to The Tribune

The Board of El Paso County Commis-sioners unanimously approved a resolu-tion at their May 28 meeting supporting a lawsuit filed by 55 of Colorado’s 62 elected county sheriff’s and other citizens and groups seeking to overturn two recently signed Colorado firearms laws.

The resolution states that the sheriffs have determined that, “House Bill 1224 and House Bill 1229 are vague, overreaching and unenforceable and unreasonably re-strict the constitutionally guaranteed rights of law abiding citizens as outlined in the Second and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution.”

Included in the board’s action is official direction “that where legally proper, the county attorney staff is directed to assist in protecting the interests of the El Paso Coun-ty Sheriff’s Office and the citizens of the county in avoiding the unfunded mandates created by these new laws by filing amicus briefs designed to assist the court.”

County Attorney Amy Folsom told com-missioners that her office is researching all of the information provided in the lawsuit to determine if it provides additional in-formation which could helpful as the court considers the request for a permanent in-

junction against enforcement of the two new laws.

“This absolutely impacts all of our con-stituents,” said Commissioner Amy Lathen, in presenting the resolution. “We take ac-tions in order to protect and uphold the Constitution and to represent our constitu-ents.”

“What these bills are being represented to be is misleading to the public, which is why I have been so committed to getting the word out and I appreciate the board taking action on this today,” Sheriff Terry Maketa said.

“There is so much misinformation about these bills. Not a week passes where I don’t have somebody ask me why I have problem with background checks on firearm sales, but really these bills go far beyond that. I think we have an obligation to take this to the courts and seek clarification and that’s exactly what we’ve done.”

Commissioner Darryl Glenn agreed, “We have a Constitutional obligation to take ac-tion.

We get criticized sometimes for the reso-lutions and proclamations we put forward but we have the responsibility since we are statutorily obligated to make sure to speak up so good laws are adopted. We have a role in that process and we were denied that op-portunity here.”

GospelGrass Festival returns, expands Two days of Gospel-Bluegrass music at Church at Woodmoor By Norma Engelberg [email protected]

Families in the Tri-Lakes area are in-vited to spend two days listening to 12 Bluegrass/Gospel bands at the Church at Woodmoor.

On June 29-30, the church at 18125 Furrow Road in Monument will offer the 14th annual GospelGrass on the Divide, which Pastor Ellen Fenter describes as “a family-oriented music festival that focuses on bluegrass gospel music but stretches the boundaries to include other forms of acoustic gospel music such as folk, coun-try, cowboy gospel, and even a little south-ern gospel.”

The concerts and activities are free to the community but wouldn’t be if the 12 bands weren’t offering their music for free.

GospelGrass is the brainchild of Su-zie Solomon of Idaho Springs. She had the fi rst festival in 2000.

“From there we did them in a lot of dif-ferent states and did several (festivals) here in Colorado,” Solomon said. “We held them in different locations but for the last 5 years our biggest one had been in Calhan at the El Paso Country Fairgrounds.

Along with that we started GospelGrass

on the Divide in 2011 as an additional one day festival when someone introduced me to Pastor Ellen.”

Fenter has been the pastor at the Church at Woodmoor for four years. She said the fi rst time she saw the church’s pa-vilion she thought it would be a great place to have a family-friendly musical event.

This year’s festivities start at 10 a.m. on June 29. There will be music all day on two stages, one in the pavilion behind the church and the other in a glen at the back of the church property.

Throughout the day there will be ac-tivities for kids, including a bounce house, pony rides, animals from the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, storytelling, face painting and more. A classic car show will also be onsite.

The day will end with an all-ages, all-levels, old-fashioned barn dance at 7 p.m.

June 30 will start with a free pancake breakfast from 9-10 a.m. followed by a hymn sing.

Music will follow with the bands until 5 p.m. Concessions will be available on June 29 but guests are encouraged to bring a picnic on June 30.

Because cover is available, the event will take place rain or shine.

“We love having our friends and neigh-bors visit for GospelGrass.” Fenter said. “This isn’t the kind of event where people will be harangued to join our church. We are all God’s people and we just want to hang out together and listen to some great music.

Last year’s GospelGrass on the Divide at the Church at Woodmoor drew about 300 people for a single day of music and children’s activities. This year’s event, June 29-30, is expanding to two days. The event will feature two covered stage areas and will not be canceled or postponed by rain. Courtesy photo

Burling starting for Chivas USA; Goeas signs with Kansas; Wilson a champion skierBy Danny Summers

Lewis-Palmer High School alumnus Bobby Burling has played in 10 games (nine starts) this season for Chivas USA of Major League Soccer.

Burling, 28, is a defender for Chivas. He is in his second stint with the team after getting traded to the club in 2012 from the Montreal Impact.

He was selected by Montreal in the 2011 expansion draft, but never played a game for the Impact.

He was with the San Jose Earthquakes from 2009 to 2011.

He began his career with Chivas in 2007 Burling and Chivas lost to the Colorado Rapids, 2-0, on May 25 at Dick’s Sporting Good’s Park.

LPHS graduates look toward futureBy Norma [email protected]

Quotes from famous literary and cin-ema characters flew at the Lewis-Palmer High School Class of 2013 Commence-ment.

Speakers quoted Christopher Robin telling Winnie the Pooh “You’re braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think,” Star Trek’s Mr. Spock telling people to “Live Long and Prosper,” and John Wayne saying that courage is “being scared to death but saddling up anyway.”

LPHS Principal Sandi Brandl, who

became principal the year these seniors were freshmen, reminded the students one last time about the Lewis-Palmer School District 38 Five Pillars: academic achievement, school involvement, com-munity service, leadership and charac-ter.

She also commended the seniors for the courage they’ve shown and the achievements they’ve made.

The theme of bravery and courage continued through the end of the pro-gram that wasn’t the traditional “Fanfare and Recessional” by Sir Edward Elgar but was instead a medley from “Star Wars: A New Hope” played by the Monument Hill Brass Quintet.

With the traditional ‘Pomp and Circumstance’ in the background being played by the Monument Hill Brass Quartet, the Lewis-Palmer High School 2013 Commencement processional took graduates past their teachers at the start of the graduation ceremony on May 24 at Clune Arena at the U.S. Air Force Academy.

Bobby Hansen retires from professional baseball Lewis-Palmer alumnus pitched in the Washington Nationals’ system for � ve seasons By Danny Summers

Former Lewis-Palmer High School baseball standout Bobby Hansen has re-tired after five professional seasons.

Hansen, 23, made his decision in Janu-ary – prior to heading to spring training with the Washington Nationals. He will at-tend the University of Colorado this fall as a freshman.

“I’ve never regretted playing profes-sional baseball,” Hansen said. “It was al-ways my dream. It was a no-brainer when I got drafted. I got to play five years and had the greatest five years of my life.”

Hansen played his entire career in the Nationals’ organization. After undergoing back surgery in 2011, he advanced as far as high Single-A in 2012 with Portsmouth in the Carolina League.

He split time with Hagerstown in the low Single-A South Atlantic League in 2012, compiling a combined 5-6 record and 5.03 ERA in 20 games (17 starts).

“It was a disappointing and frustrating year in 2012,” said Hansen, who graduat-ed from Lewis-Palmer in 2008. “After the season I did a lot of thinking. A lot of soul searching. I thought it was best to close my chapter in professional baseball and go to school.”

Hansen was the Nationals’ 18th round pick of the 2008 major league draft. The 6-foot-6, 235-pound left-hander spent his first two seasons in rookie ball in the Gulf Coast League. He advanced through the system, but was slowed by back surgery in 2011.

He compiled a 15-13 record as a pro-fessional.

Along the way, Hansen played with or worked out with many of the Nationals’ top major league stars. Bryce Harper, the 2012 National League Rookie of the Year, was a teammate of Hansen’s with Hager-stown in 2011. He played with pitching sensation Stephen Strasburg in 2009 when the two were in instructional league.

“All those guys are really down to earth,” Hansen said. Hansen moved to the San Antonio area of Texas in 2010 so that

he could be closer to his parents (Bob and Babette). His younger brother, Richard (a 2011 Palmer Ridge graduate), is a sopho-more at the University of Colorado.

Long before he signed his profession-al contract, Bobby Hansen was thinking about life after baseball. He smartly nego-tiated a deal with the Nationals where the organization would pay for four years of schooling.

Hansen, who will double major in po-litical science and international business, chose Colorado so that he could be closer to his brother. In fact, the two will share a condominium together. They both plan on pursuing law degrees.

“My brother and I have always argued and we’re getting better and better at it,” Hansen said with a laugh. “He’s president of the law fraternity at Boulder.”

Hansen is keeping busy this sum-mer coaching an 18-under travel base-ball team in the San Antonio area, while also giving pitching instruction to Little League, PONY and high school players.

While Hansen has no regrets about walking away from professional baseball, he will miss it.

“I won’t look back 20 years from now and say the back injury stopped me,” he said. “It happened for a reason. I wish things did go in a different way. It sucks watching baseball sometimes — watching my former teammates on TV. I wish I was playing with them. But I plan to go watch the Nationals (at Coors Field) when they come to town to play the Rockies. I’ll have good tickets and I’ll have a lot of friends.”

Burling starting for Chivas USA; Goeas signs with Kansas; Wilson a champion skier By Danny Summers

Lewis-Palmer High School alumnus

Bobby Burling has played in 10 games (nine starts) this season for Chivas USA of Major League Soccer.

Burling, 28, is a defender for Chivas. He is in his second stint with the team after getting traded to the club in 2012 from the Montreal Impact.

He was selected by Montreal in the 2011 expansion draft, but never played a game for the Impact.

He was with the San Jose Earthquakes from 2009 to 2011.

He began his career with Chivas in 2007 Burling and Chivas lost to the Colorado Rapids, 2-0, on May 25 at Dick’s Sporting Good’s Park.

GOEAS REJECTS VOLUNTEERS, SIGNS WITH KANSAS

Former Lewis-Palmer star football player Colton Goeas decommitted to the Univer-sity of Tennessee last December. On Jan. 3, the stout linebacker committed to Kansas.

Goeas starred at running back and line-backer for Lewis-Palmer as a freshman and sophomore. He moved to Hawaii with his family after his sophomore year and at-tended St. Louis High School in Honolulu, graduating last week.

Goeas (6-foot-2, 245 pounds) commit-ted to Tennessee in July 2012 – prior to his senior year at St. Louis. But Tennessee went through a head coaching change last fall, with Butch Jones taking over for Derek Dooley.

Kansas was among the original suitors

for Goeas’ service and remained in contact with him. The Jayhawks are coached by Charlie Weiss, who previously coached at Notre Dame and in the NFL.

PALMER RIDGE GRAD IS A CHAMPION SKIERKellyn Wilson, a 2013 Palmer Ridge grad-

uate, won the freestyle ski nationals in Janu-ary at Copper Mountain. The event was part of the 2013 USA Snowbaord and Freeski As-sociation National Championships.

Wilson slammed the competition in the women’s 16-18 division with a series of back fl ips, 360s and 540s. Her score of 74.3 was 21 points better than runner up Yakira Mi-rabito.

Wilson’s national championship came with a price, unfortunately. She suffered a torn left ACL and partially torn meniscus.

She underwent surgery about a week after the event to repair the damage. Wilson suf-fered the injury while attempting a 540 on her fi nal run when she put too much weight on the leg.

Wilson’s victory was even more remark-able considering she broke her back in Jan-uary 2012 on a failed back fl ip attempt. Wil-son did not compete at nationals last year after missing the remainder of the season due to her broken back. The injury did not require surgery.

Wilson fi nished second at the 2011 USA-SA National Championships.

Wilson will attend the University of Col-orado this fall, where she will study journal-ism. She plans on taking the second semes-ter off to enter ski tournaments outside of Colorado.

The “New” MHC - Where Grace and Truth Abound

Two free programs in June Palmer Lake Historical Society salutes fathers, a famous storyteller Special to The Tribune Palmer Lake Historical Society

The Palmer Lake Historical Society is of-fering two free programs in June, its regular monthly speaker presentation and a spe-cial event for fathers.

First, join the historical society from 2-4 p.m. on June 16 on the Village Green at Palmer Lake Town Hall, 28 Valley Crescent, for the society’s annual salute to fathers.

Each year the historical society provides ice cream, fruit pie, and music to bring families together in a celebration of “Dads” on Father’s Day. Last year, almost 250 fam-ily members ate their way through gallons of ice cream and uncounted slices of pie while listening to bluegrass music and en-joying the beautiful weather in wild and wonderful Palmer Lake. And the best part? IT WAS ALL FREE!

The society and its guests had so much fun that they’ve decided to do it again this year. So come join us for free ice cream, pie, and bluegrass music by Out of Nowhere. And don’t forget to bring Dad!

At 7 p.m. on June 20 the society will offer “Chief Manitou and His Contributions to the Pikes Peak Region,” a program that was canceled by bad weather in February, at the Palmer Lake Town Hall.

Robert Cronk will present an informa-tive evening about Pedro Cajete, a Tewa Indian from the Santa Clara Pueblo in New Mexico who became known locally as “Chief Manitou.”

Cronk 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. His research uncovered information about “Chief Mani-tou,” his travels, and his impact on the tourist industry of this region in the early part of the 20th century. He also found that “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. For more information about the Palmer Lake His-

torical Society and it’s programs, visit www.palmerdividehistory.org.

Out of Nowhere, a local Bluegrass band, will entertain dads and their families from 2-4 p.m. on June 16 on the Village Green at Palmer Lake Town Hall. The Palmer Lake Historical Society is sponsoring the entertainment, the ice cream and the pie for this annual free salute to fathers. Courtesy photo

Baby Boomers May Avoid Knee Surgery With Modern Arthritis TreatmentsDoctors say these two factors are the keys to knee arthritis treatment success and relieving pain without surgery

By Matt EdgarAmerica’s Health Writer

El Paso County - Everyone has said it at one time or another. If I had only known about “this” sooner - things would be very different today. That’s what many knee arthritis pain sufferers are saying about this technol-ogy and treatment. “We all know that countless lives are being saved every year because of early detection and better treatment of cancer,” one of the physicians at Osteo Relief Institute in Colorado Springs, CO. “The same holds true for treating knee arthritis pain. I believe we are having so much success at Osteo Relief Institute because of two factors: One is we are using advanced medical technology and treatments a lot of clinics do not use. And second, the word has spread to our community and so many knee arthritis sufferers are coming in sooner. And the

earlier we can treat knee arthritis - the better the results. The key to avoiding knee replacement surgery is doing the correct treatments as soon as possible.”

What is the “correct treatment?”

“That depends, there is no one answer when it comes to medical conditions and knee arthritis is no different. That’s why, if you have knee pain, you should have it evaluated by a doctor who deals with and treats knee pain every day,” stated the clinics director of services. For many knee arthritis pain sufferers the right treatment is viscosupplementa-tion. In this treatment, a preparation of Hyaluronic acid (such as Hyalgan) is injected directly into the knee joint. Hyaluronic acid is a natural lubri-cant and shock absorber of your joints and is found to be decreased in arthritis sufferers. This is similar to running your car low or without oil. Obviously, the

sooner you put oil back in the car - the less damage will be done. That’s why some doctors feel early viscosupple-mentation gets the best results and is so important for avoiding surgery. And the Doctors believe one of the most important factors for the success of viscosupplementation is making sure you are getting it into the joint space. That’s why the doctors at Osteo Relief Institute use advanced imaging technol-ogy called a “C-Arm.” A C-Arm allows the doctor to see into the joint and actually watch the injection go where it is supposed to. Re-search shows that performing injections without digital imaging can result in missing the joint space as much as 30% of the time. If you had viscosupple-mentation treatments without advanced imagining and did not get good results - this may be why. “If you have knee arthritis pain,

Can This Be Avoided? Total knee replace-ment is serious surgery requiring months of rehabilitation. Some doctors think modern treatments done early enough can keep baby boomers from going under the knife.

viscosupplementation might be the answer you are looking for. The keys are to not wait, get a good evaluation from an expert and make sure advanced digital imaging (C-Arm) is used to make sure you have the best chance for success.” was the advice of the doctors at the Osteo Relief Institute.

Free Knee Pain Screenings Offered To Help Determine If Colorado Springs Area Residents Qualify For Popular Treatment

El Paso County area knee pain sufferers have limited time to claim knee pain screening to see if all-natural knee arthritis treatment might work for them

Advanced Medical Technology Can Make All The Difference: This advanced digital imaging called a C-arm allows doctors to see directly into the knee joint so treatments are precise and the Hyalgan actually goes where it is supposed to. Studies show that injections done without digital imaging can miss the joint up to 30% of the time. This is one reason Hya-lgan or other Viscosupplementation may not have worked for you. Osteo Relief Institute uses this C-arm for every Hyalgan treatment.

If You Can Answer Yes - You Are Eligible For A Knee Arthri-tis Screening With The Experts

At Osteo Relief InstituteDo you have pain and oteoarthritis (arthritis) of the knee?

Have you tried other treatments such as NSAIDS and other anti-inflamato-ry medications without success?

Have you already tried viscosup-plementation (Hyalgan, Supartz, Synvisc) without satisfactory results?

If you answered yes to any of these questions - give Osteo Relief Institute a call and schedule your risk free knee

pain screening 719-323-6612

If you qualify for this treatment, it might be one of the happiest days of your life. That’s because, this year, hundreds of knee pain sufferers have flocked to Os-teo Relief Institute located in Colorado Springs, Colorado. That’s when their specially trained doctors added Hyalgan treatments to their already successful and comprehen-sive knee pain relief program. Hyalgan is unique because - even though it is manufactured by a phar-maceutical company, it is in NOT considered a drug because it is a natural substance with an incredible story.

Why So Many Want It You see, when you suffer with arthri-tis - the lubricating fluid (synovial fluid) in your knee joint dries up. This means instead of gliding smoothly - your bones start to rub and grind against each other. This causes a little pain in the begin-ning - but over time the pain steadily gets worse until it is excruciating.

Like “Joint Oil” Hyalgan works so well because it is like “joint oil.” It is a natural substance that contains one of the natural building blocks of the synovial fluid that lubri-cates your knee. Scientists and researchers discovered this natural building block to synovial fluid in the rooster’s comb - that big red thing on top of the roosters head. It is extracted from the roosters comb, puri-fied and concentrated. When it is injected directly into your knee joint, it is like squirting oil on a rusty door hinge. Hyalgan allows your joints to glide more smoothly eliminating a lot of the rubbing, grinding and pain.

Can Supplements Do The Same Thing?

No. Glucosamine and chondroitin and other supplements are much differ-ent. You can only get this from a doctor and it often helps knee pain sufferers who got limited or no success from

glucosamine and chondroitin. Beware of unsubstantiated claims made by supplements that claim to do what this advanced medical procedure does.

Why You Should Try This Even If You’ve Already Had Similar Treatments Without results...

“We have been able to help so many knee pain sufferers - even many who have already tried other injections like Synvisc, Supartz, Orthovisc and even Hyalgan. We use special and very advanced low-dose video fluoroscopy imaging called “Hologic Digital Imag-ing” so we can see right into the joint. This allows us to put the Hyaglan ex-actly where is needs to be. Studies show doctors doing joint injections without fluoroscopy miss the joint up to 30% of the time.” said the head of Arthritis Treatment at Osteo Relief Institute. Osteo Relief Institute is a state of the art medical facility offering only the best technology. And that’s not all - Osteo Relief Institute has a complete knee relief program called “P.A.C.E.” to make sure you get the most pain relief and the best possible results from treatment. “Every case is individual. Some patients get quite a bit of relief right away - others take a little more time. But most have been extremely happy and the results usually last for at least 6 months. Patients who were suffering for years with bad knee pain are getting their lives back... going for walks again and exercising. It’s amazing to see. They tell all their friends - that’s why we are swarmed. I can’t tell you how many patients have cancelled their total knee replacement surgeries.” added one doctor.

How To Get It If you have knee pain, Dr. M. Swan-son M.D. and staff would like to invite you for a risk free screening to see if you are a candidate for Hyalgan treatments and the P.A.C.E program. All you have to do is call 719-323-6612 right now and when the

scheduling specialist answers the phone tell her you would like your risk free “Knee Pain Screening.” The specialists at Osteo Relief Institute can only accept a limited amount of new patients each month for this screening - so if you are interested please call now. Your risk free screening will only take about 25-30 minutes... you will get all your questions answered and leave knowing if you have possibly found the solution to your knee pain. And here’s something really important - Hyalgan treatments and the P.A.C.E program are covered by most insurance and Medicare. To schedule your screening today call 719-323-6612.

Everyone Wants Proof: In the artist simulated drawings above, picture #1 is a normal, pain-free knee. There is no arthritis and the knee can move and bend freely without pain

Pain - the red is a knee joint with painful osteo-arthritis. Arthritis causes the joint space to decrease, grinding, stiffness, decreased motion, bone spurs, swelling and a lot of pain.

Successful Treatment - Hyalgan (blue) being precisely injected directly into the knee joint using hologic digital imaging. Advaced imaging allows treatments to be as precise as pos-sible. Hyalgan can lubricate the joint and decrease pain.

Failed Treatment - the injection (and Hyalgan) misses the joint space. Re-search shows this occurs up to 30% of the time without the use of hologic digital imaging to guide the injection. This is why Hyalgan may not have worked for you.
