TRI-LAKES TRIBUNE(USPS 418-960)

By Tribune Staff

The next Art Hop in historic downtown Monument, on June 16, will feature more than a wide collection of galleries and shops open late with special events like artist receptions and book signings and the like.

Visitors attending the monthly third-Thursday evening event will be treated to a new assortment of public art on display.

That day, new sculpture will be added pedestals around Monument and Palmer Lake in the annual rotation by Tri-Lakes Views, the non-profi t that has been bringing public art to the region since 2003.

The group will be placing new pieces on its ArtSites locations, including the sculpture park along 2nd Street on the grounds of the Lewis-Palmers School District ad-ministration build-ing.

Most of the 20 pieces of public art are temporary and change annually, ex-cept for fi ve perma-nent pieces of the collection. A sixth piece will be added at the end of June when “Aspen Grove” is installed in the round-about on Old Denver Highway and West Baptist Road.

Monument Police notifi ed;security expert hired

By Bill [email protected]

The Lewis-Palmer School District 38 is overhauling its online security pro-cedures after a breach of its computer database exposed detailed informa-tion of students and their families.

A note sent to parents on June 8 an-nounced the district had turned over to the Monument Police Department information on the breach from its own internal investigation.

In addition, the district told parents it was hiring an independent internet security expert to audit its information technology systems to determine what changes are needed to protect student privacy.

D-38 spokeswoman Julie Stephen explained the actions in response to inquiries from The Tribune related to parents’ complaints.

“On May 25, we sent an email to all families stating that we had discovered a possible security breach,” Stephen said. “It appeared that one individual with legitimate access to our system may have accessed a few secondary school student . . . accounts.”

The breach involved the district’s “Infi nite Campus” system, a computer database which stores detailed pro-

fi les of thousands of students and their families. Parents use it to track student performance on daily homework and check grades or to see the time and lo-cation of their child’s bus stop, for ex-ample.

The district also uses Google Apps For Education, an online program which allows teachers and students to collaborate on shared documents. Students can write in Google docu-ments simultaneously with other classmates as teachers watch in real time and even comment or edit and grade them.

Using the Google documents re-quires each student have a gmail ac-count, which was assigned by the dis-trict with uniform log-in and password protocols involving each student’s individual identifi cation number and their dates of birth.

Apparently, the breach involved both Infi nite Campus and Google ac-counts.

“Due to these fi ndings, we shut down student portal Infi nite Campus access and Google email accounts,” Stephen said June 8. “We turned over our fi ndings to the Monument Police, and we hired a third party security experts to conduct a security audit of our technology systems to determine if other technology upgrades and/or changes are needed.”

Editor’s note: The debate over afford-able housing is a personal one for a member of The Tribune family. Here, longtime reporter Norma Engelberg gives her perspective.

Words carry a lot of baggage. Say “affordable housing” and some people think: riff-raff, trash, freeloader, crimi-nal, addict, “Welfare Mom.”

Change the labels to “workforce or senior housing” and the mental im-ages change to: grandparent, retiree, police offi cer, fi refi ghter, teacher, clerk and, yes, local reporter.

Funny thing is, it’s all the same housing. Just different labels.

And different baggage. I know, be-cause I carried the baggage for years. And I think our community should make room for affordable housing, or

whatever label you want to use. This is my story.My father was in the Army and

mom was Catholic so there were a lot of us children and we grew up poor, although we didn’t know it at the time. We played a lot of Army games (I was always a nurse, but I really wanted to be a gun-toting soldier.)

The woods and hills around us became Venusian swamps or Martian

deserts. We also spent a lot of time in local libraries and, at the end of the month, when food ran low, we ate so much popcorn that it’s a wonder any of us still like it.

I went to 13 schools between fi rst- and 10th-grade, when Dad retired. We were adaptable and learned a lot of coping skills.

I was 20 when I met and married my husband, Frank. He had been a type 1 diabetic for 10 years. The dis-ease made it diffi cult for him to get a job and keep it. Most company insur-ance policies wouldn’t cover diabetics, as a pre-existing condition, and most employers wouldn’t hire diabetics who didn’t have their own insurance poli-cies or coverage under a wife’s policy.

Frank always found work, but the pay wasn’t good. And diabetes is an ex-

pensive disease. Like most renters, we were always looking for a better deal, a house closer to work that was bigger but less expensive. These days, people use “cost burdened” to describe what we called “house poor.”

Frank fi nally found a good job in a union sheet-metal shop where he was covered by the company insurance. He worked full-time and repaired small engines on the side. I sewed every-body’s clothes, including a few brides, and gardened and canned anything I could get my hands on.

Once the kids were in school, I cleaned houses. We made do, but de-spite everything we did to make ends meet, it was never enough to pay for decent, cheap housing.

After a few years of this, we discov-See Housing on Page 12

Monument approves plan to lease baseball diamonds;

comprehensive plan review launched; ethics code shelved


A plan for Monument to take over maintenance and control of two base-ball fields owned by Lewis-Palmer School District was approved by the Board of Trustees on June 6, but only after a spirited discussion of the merits of the cooperative plan.

Town Manager Chris Lowe seemed surprised when he was questioned at length by Trustee Shea Medlicott and others about the wisdom of investing $7,500 to install irrigation and other improvements to the diamonds and take over renting and maintaining them.

It would be the first of several long discussions about town spending and how much power individual trustees should have to request staff to draft or-dinances or other micromanaging of staff.

When Medlicott insisted on details of the planned improvements in the proposed contract between the town and school district, Lowe said it was inexpensive and within the approved maintenance budget.

But Medlicott pushed for details, suggesting a five-year contract and $7,500 was a no-win proposition for the town.

“What do we get out of it?” he said. “It’s a win for them and a net loss of us.”

Lowe countered that $7,500 was a small price for the town to acquire two baseball fields for the community’s Lit-tle League teams, which currently don’t have fields for their own.

“We do not have any fields,” Lowe said. “We saw the opportunity to pro-vide ballfields. These are not used by the school district. I would never de-scribe improvement of our parks de-partment as a loss. We thought this was a strong win-win.”

Eventually the contract was ap-proved, 7-0, on Medlicott’s motion. But it signalled an ongoing friction between the new board and the town staff.

Ultimately, the board seemed to agree that staff should provide detailed fiscal impact statements on even items they might deem minor, like the ball-field spending.

The town staff received another tongue-lashing from Trustee Greg

Coopman who again complained he still hadn’t received detailed financial data the staff had used to justify steep increases to water rates for 1,000 or so westside residents who use town water.

“It has been months and I am yet to receive the full documentation,” Coop-man said, describing himself as frus-trated with the lack of response from Lowe and his staff.

Medlicott joined Coopman in de-manding answers.

“We need numbers, numbers, num-bers,” Medlicott said.

Lowe promised to have new spread-sheets with updated financial data on water rates posted on the town website soon. And the data was posted the next day.

Mayor Jeff Kaiser initiated a lengthy debate about the role of trustees in asking for ordinances to be drafted by town staff and getting issues placed on the agenda for future meetings.

Trustee Dennis Murphy seemed to sum up the consensus when he said the trustees needed to “let the town manager do his job” with feedback and direction from the trustees sitting as a board, not as individuals.

A proposed code of ethics again sparked spirited discussion as Kai-ser seemed to campaign for the code, noting it was a priority of the previous board. He even read long passages and offered edits to the document even though several trustees seemed to re-jected it entirely.

Again, Murphy seemed to sum up the mood of the majority when he denounced language that demanded moral behavior by trustees.

“Morality is a shifting thing,” Mur-phy said. “My private affairs are not something you need to be regulating.”

He suggested the board consider a much simpler and concise ethics code similar to one pledged by cadets at the Air Force Academy. Trustee Jeff Born-stein also suggested a much simpler ethics code be considered and Coop-man strongly urged the board “scrap this” proposal.

It was not adopted and trustees opt-ed to discuss the issue at an upcoming retreat.

The board voted 6-0 to hire a Little-ton consulting company, Community Matters, to update the town’s Compre-hensive Plan. The same company wrote the existing plan in 2003. The contract is for $60,000 including a $25,000 state grant secured by town Planning Direc-tor Larry Manning.

Little Leaguers get fields to call home

June 15, 2016 The Tribune 3www.trilakestribune.com


Ella Malcho was awarded an A+ from the Monument Police De-partment for a project she worked on this past school year at Lewis-Palmer Middle School.

The seventh-grade student said she learned about the concept of spending 20 percent of your day time brain-storming ideas and inno-vations.

And she’d had heard of police departments that equip patrol cars with teddy bears to be

distributed to children as comforters when police respond to calls.

So Malcho, 12, came up with the idea of “Bears that Care” and set out collecting donations of bears for the Monument Police Department.

“I had a goal of raising $100 to buy 20 bears,” Malcho told the Monu-ment Board of Trustees on June 6.

Setting up a table at Walmart on Jack-son Creek Parkway, she ended up raising $270 and buying 54 bears which she presented to the town at the trustees

meeting.“You have really paid

it forward,” Police Chief Jake Shirk said in prais-ing Malcho for her work. The board and those in attendance gave Malcho a standing ovation.

There will be no methadone clinic/dispensary in downtown Monument, no more tense public strategy meetings and no trial in a lawsuit fi led against the town by Orlando, Fla.-based Colonial Management Group, which wanted to open the methadone facility.

And, soon, there will be no more No Methadone in Monument, the grass-roots group that rose up last summer to rally the community to stop CMG.

Tom Allen, leader of the No Metha-done group, said last week that legal fees have nearly wiped out the $56,000 or so the non-profi t group collected to fi ght CMG’s plans for a methadone facility at 2nd and Front streets, across from Limbach Park in downtown.

“We’re still paying bills and we’re down to about $6,800 left,” Allen said, providing complete copies of bank statements showing payments to at-torneys and all balances. “By the time we’re fi nished, we’ll be lucky if we have a few hundred dollars left.”

After the tentative lawsuit settlement agreement was announced March 11 by then-mayor Rafael Dominguez, Allen said he hoped to have enough money left over to perhaps erect a water fea-ture in Limbach Park to commemorate the efforts of townspeople.

But the group’s attorneys stayed

busy as the actual fi nal contract took weeks to formally resolve. It wasn’t of-fi cially signed by Mayor Jeff Kaiser until April 14.

“As a party to the lawsuit, we had to review the outcome of the settlement,” Allen said. “Our lawyers went through it with a fi ne-tooth comb.

“The No Methadone in Monument group was the last one to sign off on it.”

They are still not quite fi nished. The group’s attorneys plan to look over the fi nal language of new zoning rules be-ing developed by the town under an emergency moratorium enacted last fall at the height of the methadone fu-ror.

And when those attorneys are earn-ing upward of $585 an hour combined, Allen said, “it doesn’t take long to burn through a lot of money.”

Bank statements from the No Meth-adone account at First National Bank detail the income from donors start-ing with a deposit of $3,869 on July 24, 2015, from money raised at the fi rst public rally.

Subsequent rallies and online fun-draising efforts led to a string of de-posits over the next few weeks ranging from a few bucks to $2,900 on Dec. 11 to $4,900 on Jan. 14. The group cut off fundraising in March shortly before the town announced a tentative settlement of the lawsuit with CMG.

It was one of the highlights of my career and life to twice meet a true hero and inspiration: Muhammad Ali.

My first interview with Ali was in 1986 when he was visiting the gov-ernor of Kansas. I was a Statehouse reporter for The Associated Press and I managed to spend about 30 minutes talking privately with Ali before he met the governor.

Ali was in the news at the time because he had just returned from Mexico where he had taken experi-mental treatments for his Parkinson’s syndrome.

I was awestruck, not by his box-ing accomplishments or his massive celebrity, but because of his achieve-ments as a human being.

Ali is a hero of mine. His courage was incredible. I remember watching the abuse he took for changing his name, his religion and daring to refuse to fight in Vietnam as a conscientious objector.

He risked his career, sacrificed mil-lions in earnings and jeopardized his very life by taking supremely unpopu-lar positions and standing by them.

In 1986, I found him humble, au-thentic and sincere.

“Once, I was the greatest champion in the world,” he whispered to me that day. “Now, I’m just a broken-down old bum.”

He brought tears to my eyes because the pain was so obvious in his eyes.

He drooled constantly from the ef-fects of medication and his voice was barely audible. He leaned in close to me to talk. Instead of signing auto-graphs, he handed out printed cards with verses of scripture and his auto-graph.

Despite his obvious pain, he still flashed his famous smile when the cameras arrived. When the gover-nor came in, Ali really lit up. He even

turned to me and threw a combination of punches at me. I jumped and he laughed.

I also remember his hands. When I shook his, it was like a child shaking an adult’s hand. His hands were the size of catcher’s mitts. And still powerful.

The next time I saw him was in August 1989. I was a roving correspon-dent for the AP by then, reporting to the Chicago bureau. I heard Ali was in Macomb, Ill., helping his 19-year-old twin daughters move into a dorm at Western Illinois University.

It was quite a scene by the time I got there in early afternoon. Macomb is a county seat with a courthouse and classic small town square in the middle of its business district.

I arrived to find a huge crowd in this otherwise quiet town of about 20,000. Despite stifling heat, there were people in a line that wrapped around the square.

At the front of the line was Ali, standing on a corner in his short-sleeved, white dress shirt. He was patiently greeting people, one-by-one, handing out his signature cards and scripture verses from the Koran.

Paul Astrouski, owner of Journey Comics for 30 years in Macomb, recalled the visit recently for Western-Courier.com.

“It was like nothing I’ve ever seen on the square,” Astrouski said. “His daughters worked at the cake shop on the corner . . . he was in there and took a stroll around the square and

kids started seeing him and the word spread. He was out there almost all afternoon.”

Astrouski, who moved to town in 1965, described Ali’s visit as “easily” the most excited he’s ever seen Macomb.

“It wasn’t so much what they were saying, but that they were so excited,” Astrouski said. “They were so excited to see Muhammad Ali. It was something they never expected to see in Macomb, and they loved it.”

They loved him, I think, because they saw in him some of the same traits I saw.

Sure, he was a flawed man, like all of us. But I consider him the transforma-tive person of my lifetime.

So many people achieve fame for no good reason and do no good with it.

Ali gained notoriety as a gifted athlete with a magnetic personality. People loved or hated his brash and boastful nature. Most admired his eloquence and there was no denying his powerful charm. Sure he was a re-lentless self-promoter, who leveraged all his wits to sell boxing tickets and himself.

But he also used his gifts to fight for civil rights, equality, respect and religious freedom. And to the very end of his life he preached love.

Imagine that.I remember leaving our interview in

1986 sad because Ali was clearly suffer-ing and struggling.

Seeing him standing in the hot sun in Macomb only reinforced my opinion of his true character, of the strength of his conviction to be a force for good, to lift up others and to love his fellow man.

And I’ve admired his willingness to persevere through his illness, to stand before the world in 1996 in Atlanta at the opening of the Olympic Games, his arms shaking as he held the torch.

Would I want the world to see me unable to control my limbs? Especially if I’d been so outspoken in my youth about my pretty appearance and great-ness? Could I set aside my ego to be an example of strength and courage to others who are suffering and inspire them to fight on?

Ali did. Rest in peace, Muhammad.

Ali was a hero for his life beyond the boxing ring

“Why would anyone do more than necessary?”

— Mark Sanborn, The Fred Factor

Last month, I encouraged you to be reflective this summer. My own reflec-tions find me revisiting a book I read years ago, “The Fred Factor” by Mark Sanborn.

Mr. Sanborn developed the ideas in this book from his relationship with his mailman Fred, a post office worker who went above and beyond the tasks of his job and got to know and care about those he served. The book promotes the idea that anyone can be exceptional and make a difference.

The question quoted above is an interview question suggested by San-born for hiring potential “Freds.” I like this thought-provoking question. Do-ing more than necessary immediately brings to mind positive intent. Going the extra mile expresses generosity. When we infuse meaning into our

everyday tasks, we add value. Having a purpose inspires and encourages us when difficult situations arise. Author Elizabeth Gilbert speaks of this as well when she says, “How we behave matters because within human society everything is contagious – sadness and anger, yes, but also patience and generosity.”

In other words, our actions impact those around us.

Teachers and staff in Lewis-Palmer School District uphold our reputation of excellence not by merely maintain-ing the status quo. We know why we

do what we do, and we exceed re-quirements at every level. We touch the future every day. We touch lives every day. We build and invite relation-ships every day. An education built on good relationships builds trust and a willingness to take risks and try new things. We practice this concept in our classrooms and in our offices. We serve our public with excellence, making a positive impact.

Relationships are risky. I find that when I assume those we work with have the best of intentions instead of hurtful intentions, I am able to re-spond out of an appropriate mindset. LPSD offers personal services, not machinated processes. Real humans work diligently providing safe and nurturing learning environments. We respond to feedback and adjust our processes. That’s what people in rela-tionships do.

We know your kids well. We want to know you well, also. Sanborn states

that “in any job or business, relation-ship building is the most important objective because the quality of the relationship determines the quality of the product or service.” The quality of our service to this community, the quality of the education we provide, is vital.

I invite you to join the LPSD com-munity in supporting the Tri-Lakes community at our small town 4th of July festivities. We invest in this community year-round. I will extend additional invitations to you as we kick off the 2016-17 school year in a couple of months. There will be productions and concerts and meetings. All of these invitations are opportunities for you to participate in our community and schools in a positive manner, to make a difference and to do more than necessary.

Timing is about right to talk about John William Pring.

I say this because it is close to Fa-ther’s Day and this fellow ranks in local history as the father of Pring Station, the first John Deere Hand Corn Planter, the Colorado draft horse industry for dairies, the beginnings of the gold rush in Cripple Creek, and (with his wife Mary Jane Beer), nine children.

“Pring Station was three miles south of Monument,” writes Lucille Lavelett in 1979, in her book Monument’s Faded Neighborhood Communities and Its Folklore.

“The land was bordered on the east by the Santa Fe Railroad, and on the west by the Denver & Rio Grande Rail-road. The only public buildings it has were the depot and and the one room school.”

In today’s world, if my calculations are correct, three miles from Second Street in Monument puts it right about where the new roundabout is at the intersection of Baptist Road, Wood Carvers and Old Denver Highway.

It is a happening place with the new Forest Lakes development and the new railroad overpass improving access out through Hay and Beaver Creek.

John Pring was able to get a lot done in his lifetime. Apprenticed as a carpenter, and later a contractor and builder in Devonshire, England, at 15, as a young man he built stores, houses, hotels and even became the personal cabinet maker for Queen Victoria.

But by 1871, he had migrated to America and bought the Utility Works in Rock Falls, Ill., which manufactured

wooden items. He sold that after two years and by the Centennial year, and statehood for Colorado, he purchased, sight-unseen, a 240-acre tract that was later to become the area around Pring Station.

According to obituary accounts in local papers: “He found the place a barren waste, without, apparently, enough upon it to keep a rabbit alive. Although making up his mind that he had made a most unfortunate trade, he determined to settle here. He, at once, began to cultivate and improve the land, upon which he engaged in stock-raising and general farming. Since then, he has brought the tract under irrigation, built fences around it, and erected substantial farm buildings, so that the place has been made one of the best farms in El Paso County. It is situated 15 miles north of Colorado Springs, on both the Santa Fe and the Denver & Rio Grande Railroads, at Pring Station, which was named for him. His specialty has been the raising of graded Shorthorns. Prior to his re-moval to Colorado Springs, he engaged in the dairy business and for seven years furnished the milk for the Antlers Hotel, whose bill amounted to more

than $18,000. Shipments of milk were made over the Rio Grande road. In ad-dition to this place, he owns a farm at Gwillimville, five miles east of Monu-ment, where his son superintends the cultivation of the 440 acres comprising the estate; and he is also the owner of three other farms in the same vicinity, all of which were improved by him-self.”

Lavelett said he invented the first hand corn planter and sold his inven-tion to the John Deere Implement Co. I called archivists at John Deere, and, so far, haven’t be able to secure the details of that transaction. But because of relationships with Utility Works (men-tioned earlier) and John Deere strate-

gies at the time, it is no surprise.“The money he obtained from sell-

ing the invention he used to purchase more land,” Lavelett said.

“Since coming to Colorado he has given his attention principally to raising draft-horses, graded stock, and to the dairy business, in which he has been successful. His home is now at No. 318 West Kiowa St., Colo-rado Springs. When the Cripple Creek excitement began, he was among the first in that district, and is still inter-ested in mines there, owning the Bon-nie Nell and Raven Hill, and having an interest in other claims there. In politi-cal views he is a Republican. He takes an interest in public affairs, but has always refused to accept public office,” obituary accounts said in several local papers in November of 1922, shortly after his death.

Ranches on Hay Creek and Beaver Creek continued to prosper in the last century and at one-time the 1,065-acre ranch on Beaver Creek belonging to Barry Hill was being considered as a purchase by town of Monument for water rights. It is not clear to me from Lavelett’s records, but possible, that a railroad tank from Pring Station might have still been in use by town of Monu-ment as recently as 1979.

“When the railroads stopped using the steam engines and no longer need-ed the water, the town of Monument bought the water tank and is the tank the town uses it for water storage,” she said in 1979. “This storage tank is near the Number Two well near the Lamp-light restaurant.”

This may amuse you if you are an old movie fan. I was off to Durango recently and dropped in to see an old friend, Emma Sweeny.

Maybe you know Emma for her movie roles, or from her stint on the old TV series, Petticoat Junction. She is in her “upper 60s” now, those roles coming when she was young.

I have seen her before, a couple times and recently we met again in a park in southern Durango. Sitting in a pavilion in the park, she looks quite well.

She has suffered quite a bit of ne-glect since her movie and TV days.

You’ve probably guessed by now Emma is not an actor. Emma was a prop – a full size model of an actual steam locomotive, now at the Colo-rado Railroad Museum in Golden.

She was built of wood, as an ex-act scale stand-in for the operating locomotive. The wooden model was mainly used in the movie “Ticket to Tomahawk,” where it was taken apart as part of the plot of the film.

The railroad was racing to Toma-hawk, portrayed in the movie by Silverton, but the mountain blocked the way. The parts were much easier

for the actors to carry as the train was moved over a mountain.

After the filming, Emma was moved to California and stored until they needed a stand-in for another real steam engine.

Her next big break came in 1963 when Emma starred in the popular TV comedy Petticoat Junction as the Hooterville Cannonball.

When the show ended in 1970, it was again stored and eventually was sold to a restaurant, where it sat outdoors, slowly loosing parts and rotting!

In 2010, it was sold to a group of men in Durango, who had just re-stored a real steam engine that had been used in the movies, too. The spot in the park where Denver & Rio Grande Railroad locomotive

No. 315 used to sit became home for Emma.

Many of the wooden parts have been recreated, but others are actually real locomotive parts. She is painted in all her colorful movie tones. On TV, she was just black and gray!

Though not quite finished, she already looks much better. This sum-mer, a sailing ship will be paint on the

sides of her coal tender. I’m happy to report she is slowly be-

coming Emma Sweeny again. Wonder how she got that name? Her engineer in the movie was Mr. Sweeny, played by Walter Brennan.

Knowing Emma as I do, she would be happy to see you if you drop into her park, just across from the railroad yards.

Cross Burned On Lawn: Someone poured fuel oil and gasoline in the pattern of a cross on the lawn of Earl Engel. They sped away in an automobile that Mr. Engel had seen on the street earlier. It was be-lieved by some that it might be Ku Klux Klan. Deputy Al Karns said “Ku Klux Klan? Don’t be silly. There is no Klan in this area and as far as I know there never has been. But we do have a few nuts capable of such antics.”

Clunkers Collected: If you have an old junker that isn’t road worthy, don’t abandon it on some guy’s ranch or a public road. Call the town mar-shal. He will be glad to have the clunker picked up and towed for free. He can also take steps to cancel registration. If you abandon it, the police have to go through a lot of work to fi nd out who it belongs to, or if it is stolen. They then have to get permission from the owner to dispose of it.

Youth Center to Reopen: Leo F. Kimminau has volunteered to lead the effort to make the youth center a going concern. Mr. and Mrs. Glen Clark, owners of the building, agreed to accept $150 a month rent, on a month-to-month basis. Laura

Shaffer and Mary Kimminau, both 16 years old, were appointed to lead the membership drive and plan to get in touch with eligible children in the area who indicated an interest.

Summer Program: Palmer Lake Elementary School will offer a playground program. It will be Monday,Wednesday and Friday from June 22-Aug. 13. Fee is $3 per child or $6 per family. Activities in-clude music, drama, arts, crafts, games and special events.

New Library Records: Check out the Palmer Lake Community Library for all the new records avail-able for children and adults. Some of the titles are: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Winnie the Pooh and Christopher Robin, The Beatles 1967/1970, The London Chuck Berry Session and Stevie Wonder’s Greatest Hits. A large selection of books on solar energy is also available.

Tabitha Bums a Ride: Dick Elliott will make sure he checks under his hood before taking a long trip in the future. When reaching Greeley, where he went to pick up his daughter, he decided to check his oil. The family cat, Tabitha, had gotten inside the engine and rode all the way to Greeley. Tabitha had a fi rst-class ride home in the cab of the truck.

Board of Directors

Continued from Page 1Payments from the account include

six checks and a cash withdrawal to-taling about $17,468 to attorney Bill Louis, who led the successful appeal of the zoning rules before the Board of Adjustment.

Another four checks, for a total of about $30,790, were written to the law fi rm of Sherman & Howard, hired to handle the lawsuit defense and any liti-gation.

Also in the payments was a check for $989.88 written in March to Allen for expenses he incurred registering the No Methadone group as a non-profi t corporation.

Allen said he expects to write more checks to the attorneys as they review new zoning codes drafted by the town. Once the new rules are enacted, in about 60 days, Allen said the group’s work will be complete and he’ll prepare a fi nal ac-counting for anyone interested.

“We have nothing to hide,” Allen said. “It’s all down at First National Bank. But we’re not done yet. Soon as we’re done paying the bills, we’ll put everything out and do a public ac-counting.

“If anybody in the community wants to come to the bank, they can look at every transaction in the account.”

Monument Mayor Jeff Kaiser was among several people who asked about the status of the group’s fi nancing in re-cent weeks.

“I heard other citizens express con-cerns and I passed those on,” Kaiser said. “I have no fi rst-hand knowledge of anything and I never accused any-one of doing anything wrong. Other people asked and I was relaying their concerns.

“I’m glad and not surprised to hear everything is above board and working properly. I expected no less.”

One “No Methadone” donor, Derek Araje, also said he heard talk in the community from people wondering what would happen to the money once the lawsuit was settled.

But Araje said he’s seen the bank re-cords and has no worries about how the money was spent.

“Tom has spent an enormous amount of time on this and he ran this account the way I run my business,” Araje said. “I couldn’t be more grateful to Tom for all he’s done with this.”

A 32-year-old woman was arrested Sunday, June 12, in connec-tion a stab-bing on Mount Herman Road.

Monument Police offi cers r e s p o n d e d around 2:25 p.m., Sunday, to reports of a stabbing on Mount Her-

man and Forest Service Road 320 C after a call for help about a man there bleeding.

Upon arriving, Monument offi cers discovered a man with stab wounds driving in a black Mazda SUV.

The victim was transported to a local hospital where he was treated for non-life-threatening wounds and released. His name has not been released.

Authorities later announced the ar-rest of Eslinger on suspicion of second-degree assault. She was being held at the El Paso County Criminal Justice Center pending formal charges, the El Paso County Sheriff’s Offi ce said.

The Black Forest AARP will host its 8th annual free document shredding event this Saturday.

The shredding is a fundraising event used by the group to collect food and cash for the needy. In the last four years, the event has collected almost 3,000 pounds of non-perishable food plus almost $1,900 in cash for the local food bank.

At the same time, the group has pro-vided shredding to more than 2,000 people who live in more than 20 postal ZIP codes.

The project has also yielded approx-imately 10,000 pounds of recycled pa-per each year for the last six years.

The shredding runs from 9 a.m. to noon, Saturday, June 18 at the Black

Forest Lutheran Church, 12455 Black Forest Road.

It’s a good opportunity to safely dispose of personal documents, out-dated fi nancial records and other items and protect yourself from iden-tity theft.

Mobile Record Shredders will do all the shredding on-site. Your donation of cash or non-perishable food items for the Black Forest Cares food pantry would be appreciated.

AARP ElderWatch, the Black Forest AARP Chapter and the Black Forest Lu-theran Church are partnering to pro-vide this service.

For more information, call AARP Foundation ElderWatch at 800-222-4444, option 2, or visit the Free Shred-ding page at aarpchapter1100blackforest.weebly.com.

Lottery scams. A plea from a “rela-tive” stranded overseas and needing cash. A caller claiming to be from the Internal Revenue Service.

These were some of the ways crooks try to cheat people out of their mon-ey, Offi cer Bob Harris of the Colorado Springs Police Department told the June 7 meeting of the Black Forest AARP Chapter.

And nearly everyone in attendance had his or her own encounter to report, fortunately without adverse results.

Harris captured full audience atten-

tion of the group as he discussed re-cent mail, email and telephone scams and identifi cation theft ploys that are making the rounds.

He also explained the diffi culty in tracking down these perpetrators is due to they way the telephone system can be manipulated to mask the callers location and the fact that many of the calls come from foreign countries that are outside the jurisdiction of U.S. law enforcement agencies.

Sadly, Harris noted that these crooks scam thousands of dollars each day simply by duping one or two of the hundred or more people they call.

Harris had other important remind-ers for members. For example, AARP chapter members were surprised to fi nd that the largest number of car bur-glaries occur in church parking lots. Seems that thieves understand that once the services begin, the cars in the parking lot will likely remain unguard-ed for plenty of time for them to do their dirty work.

And many churchgoers unwitting help the thieves because they do not lock their cars at churches.

Less surprising, he added that the worst locations for car break-ins are at public open spaces and shopping

malls.After the usual potluck lunch, the

business meeting focused on plans for the upcoming community service ac-tivities of the chapter.

Noteworthy is the June 18 free shredding event in Black Forest, the monthly Senior Social on June 22, and participation in the August 13 Black Forest Festival.

Information on these and oth-er chapter events and activities is available by contacting Chuck at 749.922 or logging on the Chapter web site at aarpchapter1100blackforest.weebly.com.

Continued from Page 1As the investigations get underway,

Stephen said the district would change the way student accounts are assigned.

“Student user names, email ad-dresses and starting passwords are all subject to change,” she said. “We will also make a determination regarding which systems may utilize shared au-thentication methods.”

Stephen said the district was con-fi dent it has stopped any widespread hacking of its database after discover-ing the single violation.

“The IP address for this individual was immediately blocked,” she said, quoting a notice to parents. “The in-dividual was unable to modify data or transfer data electronically.”

The district’s action came as par-ents complained that the district had known about the vulnerability of the system for months but did nothing to fi x the issue.

“They set up a system that used stu-dent IDs as the login and their birth-

dates as their password,” said Derek Araje, who has a 14-year-old daughter in school in the district.

“Then they announced it on the front page of the website. Worse, all the email addresses were visible to everyone on the site. You could see 2,843 people’s emails and you knew the emails were eight-digit student IDs with their names immediately next to it. And their passwords were their birthdates.”

Araje said a sexual predator could have used the poorly secured sys-tem “as a menu” for victims because they had access to photos of every child, shot records, locker numbers with combinations, class schedules, grades, even records of immuniza-tions.

“They could have seen when my beautiful daughter caught the bus, on exactly which corner and at the precise time,” he said.

Another parent who complained about the security of online data is

Melinda Zark, who spoke to the school board on May 19.

“The district had issued low-quality passwords for the main student data-base, Infi nite Campus,” Zark said last week. “And they dumped far too much information on it.

“I like checking my kids’ grades and assignments online. That was great. But why do I need to look to see who my kids’ classmates are. Who their par-ents are? Their home address or phone numbers?”

Zark said she sensed trouble with the system last fall, even going to talk to teachers and principals about her concerns.

“My concern was that they would be requiring the children to log in using their student ID numbers,” she said. “I knew you aren’t supposed to do that.

“I was told student ID numbers had

to be used for log-ins. They said they couldn’t make an exception for my kids and give them log-ins with avatars. I went along with it because I didn’t want my children pushed aside and left behind in the classroom.”

Zark decided to speak out after watching one of her children logging into the system and seeing far too much information available.

“I started clicking around to see how it works and I saw there’s a whole direc-tory available,” she said. “I’m shocked they set this up like this.

At this point, I’m very upset. When I went to them, I said ‘Please don’t give Google my kids’ ID number.’ Then they gave the whole district my students’ ID numbers.”

She also criticizes the district for not being aggressive in urging parents to change passwords from the auto-issued ones using birthdates.

Continued from Page 1ered that the Michigan town where we lived had a housing authority that controlled 50 rental proper-ties. Rents were determined by household income. Families enrolled in the program didn’t pay more than 30 percent of their income on housing and utilities combined.

We enrolled and that program was the only thing that kept our heads above water. It kept us from borrowing money to buy medicine and food. It kept us from slipping farther and farther into poverty.

Subsidized housing became a real godsend when Frank’s diabetes fi nally took its toll. It destroyed his kidneys and he went on dialysis. It destroyed his vision and he went blind. He lost half his foot, then

his whole foot and then his leg up to the knee when a small blister gangrened.

For eight-and-a-half years, I was his full-time caretaker.

I’m not sure what we would have done without subsidized housing. Maybe live in a car or under a bridge or in a friend’s spare bedroom. Frank would probably have died a lot sooner.

When he died at age 45, the inexpensive hous-ing meant we didn’t inherit a lot of debts. I was able to use his Social Security Survivors Benefi ts (about $1,000 a month) to keep our four kids in school and go to school myself.

With scholarships and student loans, which I’m still paying, I earned a bachelor’s degree in mass communications in 1999. After a couple of months

working for the Pueblo Business Journal, I was hired by the Ute Pass Courier, now the Pikes Peak Courier.

Three of our children have college degrees. One daughter has a master’s degree and is a nurse-prac-titioner/midwife. Another is working on her master’s in social work and is a certifi ed addiction counselor. My son is a journeyman carpenter, something he al-ways wanted to be. My youngest daughter is becom-ing quite the gardener and is thinking about getting a degree in botany.

All of this makes me sympathetic to the needs of people who can’t afford decent housing. We can’t always control what happens in our lives and many of us aren’t born with all the advantages.

But we’re not trash or riff-raff; we’re just people who need a hand up.

For the first time in years, the local fishing derby re-turned to a freshly-stocked Palmer Lake and officials expected hundreds of pole people to line the lake. They weren’t disappointed.

“We stocked about 600 Rainbow trout from a truck yesterday that came up from the Pueblo Hatchery,” said Steve Cooley, Wildlife Officer for Colorado Parks and Wildlife, during the derby Saturday morning. He said they will likely stock several more times before hot weather in July. Several other areas locally also re-ceived fish, he said.

The Palmer Lake Fishing Derby traditionally was held at Palmer Lake until drought and lack of water in the lake forced relocation to Monument Lake. Now sponsored by the Tri-Lakes Lions Club, the event co-incides with the Statewide Free Fishing Weekend June 4 and 5. A fishing license is not required this weekend.

“We are glad to build on what the Chamber has done in the past, and we are also happy to see it back here in Palmer Lake,” said David Prejean, Tri-Lakes Lions Club President. Prejean said that at least 15 of their members were volunteering at the derby Sat-urday and the group had gathered a lot of donated prizes from Bass Pro Shop, Sportsman’s Warehouse and other places. “We hope it will continue to grow,” he said.

Colorado residents and state visitors had the op-portunity to fish without a license on June 4 and 5 as

part of the annual “Colorado’s Free Fishing Days.” The free fishing days are set aside each year for the

first full weekend in June as part of ongoing efforts by Colorado Parks & Wildlife to introduce people to the sport of fishing.

During the free fishing days, anglers may fish with-out licenses. However, normal bag limits, possession limits and regulations will remain in effect. For more information on state fishing regulations, participants should consult the Colorado Fishing Brochure.

The CPW’s weekly Colorado fishing report has a list of where interested parties can take advantage of the free fishing days. The report contains angling information on bodies of water across the state, a list of recently stocked waters, weekly hotspots, and techniques that have proven successful for the state’s most productive lakes, reservoirs, streams and ponds.

Miles Teger, 8, drops the bait in just the right place, as his grandmother, Sally Shaw, smiles for his precision.

Fishing Derby returns to Palmer Lake

Photos by Rob CarriganWildlife Officer Steve Cooley is lining up equipment for his fishing friends at the lake. Colorado Parks and Wildlife re-quired no fishing licenses this weekend and hooked up 250 new poles with young fishing buddies at the derby Saturday.

Fishing wasn’t the only fun with face painting, tree climbing, people watching and more. No-lan Ryan Hazuka, 5, emerges as Spider Man at the hands of his Grandmother, Annette Hazuka.

Football championships aren’t won

in June. But the foundations of suc-cessful seasons are poured long before the first games are played.

That’s something Lewis-Palmer High School football coach Dustin Tupper and his players believe. For the last three years, the Rangers have headed to Fort Collins the first week in June to attend the Colorado State University football camp.

“It gets us tough,” said senior Jared Pope, a two-way starter at middle line-backer and left guard. “When we’re in those tough games late in the season, we can look back and know that we went through some really tough times in this camp that helped prepare us for that moment.”

This year’s camp took place June 5-7. L-P players roomed in the CSU dormitories, dined in the campus caf-eteria and practiced on the same field as the Rams.

There was little down time. When they had free time, the players were usually relaxing or sleeping.

“You wake up and it’s pretty much three-a-days,” said senior quarterback Kevin Tims. “We get our work in. That’s for sure.”

For decades, high school football teams have had summer weight lifting programs to prepare players for the rigors of the upcoming season. It was that way even when I played back in the stone ages. Now, teams take things to a whole new level with camps and 7-on-7 passing leagues.

Oh, did I mention that the CSU camp is full-contact? That’s something we weren’t able to do 35 or 40 years ago.

“You’re banging and the kids are sore,” Tupper said with a grin. “At the end of the day, you know your kids have worked hard because when the lights go out at 11, it’s quiet.”

The CSU camp, like all the other activities L-P does over the summer, is voluntary. But kids are highly encour-aged to participate.

“We had 71 kids at camp: 20 fresh-men; 20 sophomores,” Tupper said. “For a lot of our kids, this was their third year going to the camp.”

Aside from getting reps against other teams – L-P got more than 300 offensive and defensive reps under the guidance of CSU coaches – the team bonding that took place might be the most critical aspect of spending two nights and three days together in close quarters.

“It’s a big building time as a team,” said senior two-way tackle Sam Hough. “It helps you grow as a unit. It helps you to know where you are as a player and where you are as a team.”

Knowing you can count on your

teammates in good times and bad times is important. L-P went 7-4 last season and made the playoffs for the first time since 2011. The Rangers started the season 7-1, but when senior running back Nick Pavlik went down with a serious knee injury, the team faced its greatest adversity.

L-P lost its final two regular season games, as well as its first-round playoff game to eventual two-time defend-ing state-champion Pueblo East. But the Rangers never pointed fingers and never made excuses. They kept push-ing forward.

Among the many team goals this season is going undefeated, winning league and winning a state champion-ship. In order to go undefeated, L-P will need to defeat crosstown rival Palmer Ridge in a Week 3 match-up scheduled for Sept. 16 at Don Breese Stadium. Palmer Ridge has won the last two meetings, including 48-14 last year.

“That was tough,” Pope said of the blowout loss. “It’s always embedded in my brain. I can’t go my entire career without beating Palmer Ridge.”

Good luck, L-P, as you strive for greatness again next season.

Major league baseball passes on TillotsonLewis-Palmer grad snubbed in last week’s amateur draft


Evidently, being named the Gatorade Colorado

Baseball Player of the Year doesn‘t carry as much clout in Major League Baseball, at least not when there are doubts about injuries.

That’s what Paul Tillotson, a recent Lewis-Palmer High School graduate, learned last week.

Despite a career of accolades which culminated with a scholarship to the University of Nebraska, Tillotson was not among the more than 1,200 play-ers who were selected in last week’s amateur baseball draft.

Tillotson was understandably miffed at first that his name was not called in the first 10 rounds of the draft. But his advisor, Jonathan Pridie, thinks he un-derstands the snub.

“He told me teams were concerned about my back surgery I had in January,” Tillotson said. “Teams didn’t medically clear me. They were concerned.”

In January, a month before L-P gathered for its first official practice, Tillotson had a screw put in his back. The procedure didn’t seem to affect him too much as he went on to post an 8-1 record with a 1.02 ERA and 86 strikeouts while leading the Rangers to their third consecutive postseason appearance. He walked just 17 batters while allowing a total of eight earned runs in 55 innings.

He hit 95 mph on the radar gun during the Rang-ers’ team trip to Arizona in March.

Tillotson was courted by numerous major league

scouts, who either called, texted or showed up at his home on a daily basis.

Based on the amount of interest he was receiving, Pridie told Tillotson all signs pointed to him being a draft pick. But after Day 2 of the three-day draft was in the books, Tillotson was not among those players selected in the first 10 rounds. Day 3 saw the conclu-sion of the draft, and after the 40th and final round was completed Tillotson went undrafted,

“The disappointment comes because it was medi-cally based, not performance based,” Tillotson said. “I guess I’ll just have to go to college and prove I can be healthy and pitch well.”

Unlike many players hoping to get a shot at the next level, Tillotson has a great fallback plan. Last November, he signed a scholarship to the University of Nebraska. He reports to Cornhusker nation July 9, where he will take two summer school classes and begin a highly monitored strength and conditioning program.

“I’m in a good situation,” Tillotson said. “At least I know where I’ll be playing.”

Tillotson tried to take his mind off last week’s draft by going fishing at Monument Lake with his father and spending time with friends. He was hounded by numerous media outlets hoping to get his reaction to getting drafted.

The 18-year-old won’t be eligible to be drafted again until after his junior year at Nebraska. Interest-ingly, he could attend a junior college, which would allow him to be drafted after his freshman and soph-omore year.

“I’m not going to a JC just so I have a chance at being drafted next year,” Tillotson said. “I am very much looking forward to going to Nebraska and get-

ting a great education.”Tillotson was hoping to become the third L-P

player to be drafted and turn pro. Reid Engel was selected by the Boston Red Sox in the fifth round of the 2005 draft, and pitcher Bobby Hansen was tak-en by the Washington Nationals in the 18th round in 2008.

Engel got as high as Double-A before his release following the 2009 season. Hansen reached Single-A before retiring after the 2012 season.

Paul Tillotson, Bri Alger andCaleb Ojennes earn top honors


Sometimes, the fun doesn’t end when you win a state championship.

Just ask Lewis-Palmer junior striker Bri Alger and coach Joe Martin.

Alger was named the Class 4A girls’ soccer player of the year after scoring 29 goals and leading the Rangers to the state titles by the Colorado High School Activities Association.

Martin, who won the state title while coaching his final game before retire-ment, was named the 4A coach of the year.

Two Rangers were named to the first-team, all-state. There are senior midfielder Sarah Lyons and junior de-fender Karly Sandoval.

The second-team included two players from The Classical Academy, junior midfielder Hannah Burgo and senior defender Aleesa Muir.

Honorable mention nods went to Discovery Canyon’s Alexandra Palmer and TCA’s Emily Mueller.

Three gold medals helped Palmer Ridge’s Caleb Ojennes earn honors as the Class 4A boys’ track athlete of the

year. Ojennes won three gold medals at last month’s state meet.

Making the first-team from Palmer Ridge were George Silvanic, Brandon Pappas, Bailey Rosenstrauch and Gar-rett Obermeyer; and from TCA was Conor Bertles.

The 4A girls’ first-team track squad consists of TCA’s Teresa Ambuul, Kend-ra Frieden, Bethany Johns, Andrea Wil-lis and Maggie Zielinski; and Discovery Canyon’s Lauren Gale, Ayannah Lang, Jenny Hall and Lianna Ubungen.

Although Lewis-Palmer right-hand-er Paul Tillotson wasn’t on a champi-onship team, he still was named the 4A baseball player of the year.

The second-team included Lewis-Palmer junior Billy Cook, while TCA senior Spencer Hamilton was named honorable mention.

TCA’s Tim Daggett was named the 4A girls’ track coach of the year.

Discovery Canyon freshman Mattie Kuntzelman made the first-team 4A girls’ tennis team.

L-P senior Gage Johnson made the 5A second-team boys’ lacrosse team.

Palmer Ridge sophomore Liz Phil-lips was named honored mention on the 4A girls’ lacrosse team.

Palmer Ridge junior Kellsey Sample made first-team in girls’ golf.
