Women give hand-crocheted mats to homeless; come away moved

By Bill Vogrin

Four women from the Church of Woodmoor went to Acacia Park in Colorado Springs last week on a mission of mercy to distribute gifts to the homeless.

Instead, they say the homeless they met gave them a bigger gift in return: a willingness to open up and share their stories and gratitude.

The women, Kellie O’Regan, Donna Newhaus, LaVonne Putman and Angela Rose, went to the park with four handwoven sleeping mats to give away.

These were no ordinary mats. They were made by the women using ordinary plastic grocery bags that the women folded, cut and weaved together.

“It takes more than 500 bags to make one mat,” Putman said. “When we weave them together, they become our yarn that we crochet into mats.”

Each mat was six feet long and almost four feet wide and each represented 60 hours or more of tedious, finger-numbing work by O’Regan, Newhaus, Putman and fellow weaver Kay Holt, who was unable to join them at the park last Tuesday.

Newhaus was the inspiration for the project, having woven a mat for her sister in Virginia in a similar “mats for the homeless” church initiative.

When Newhaus asked friends at church to bring her their plastic bags,

Bradley Keith and Donna Newhaus share a laugh in Acacia Park in Colorado Springs on Sept.

27. Newhaus and three other women from Church of Woodmoor went to the park to distribute hand-crocheted sleeping mats to homeless people. Keith, of Albuquerque, N.M., said he had been stranded in Colorado Springs six months, working day jobs and sleeping in a homeless camp.

O’Regan said she became curious.

“We all said ‘what are you doing?’”

O’Regan said. “We thought it was a great idea.”

So the Church of Woodmoor women started collecting bags and producing plastic yarn to crochet.

“It took me most of the summer to crochet one mat,” O’Regan said. “A lot of time and a lot of effort goes into these mats.”

“I’d estimate I spent 60 hours total on my mat,” Newhaus said.

D-20 bond information meetings set

By Rob Carrigan

Each Academy District 20 school, including The Classical Academy, will receive funding for capital projects and identified priorities if voters approve bond funding in November.

A bond information session is scheduled Oct. 12, at 6 p.m. at Discovery Canyon Campus (DCC) Auditorium. Edith Wolford has a similar presentation scheduled for 6 p.m. on Oct. 25, at the Elementary Gym. “The information sessions are not specific to any school. Rather, information sessions have been scheduled in five geographic regions to allow patrons access to the same basic information included in board resolutions 205-16 and 206-16,” says Allison Cortez, communications for D-20.

“The same information will be presented at each of the five sessions.

There have been no changes to either resolution since August 18. There has been a commitment made to enlarge

the DCC HS gym to at least the size (in sq ft) of the gyms at RHS, LHS, and PCHS,” Cortez said.

Among the identified projects locally in the Tribune readership area are: • Adding 10 classrooms at DCC estimated at $4,750,000.

• Creating more parking area at DCC estimated cost of $300,000.

• More than $230,000 in improvements at Antelope Trails Elementary.

• Estimated $1 million to remodel Da Vinci Academy to allow for lockdown capability.

• Another $1 million to improve D-20 Stadium.

From bond proceeds, DCC will receive an addition to the building of at least 10 classrooms (enrollment growth), expanded parking, additional tennis courts to provide a total of six, technology infrastructure improvements, solutions to drainage issues, $1.1m to spend on capital needs defined by the school community, and See D-20 on Page 8

When all four mats were finished, the women then faced the question of what to do with them. They decided to visit Colorado Springs where there is a large population of homeless people who are easily found downtown in Acacia Park, at the Marian House Soup Kitchen and nearby Monument Valley Park.

“I wanted to make a personal connection with the people we give the mats to,” O’Regan said. “I want them to know there are people out there who

care about them. We care about them.”

Somewhat apprehensively, the women approached a man sleeping on a bench near the Uncle Wilber Fountain in Acacia Park last Tuesday morning. Startled, the man politely declined their offer of a sleeping mat.

They had better luck when they approached a nearby man and woman sitting on the edge of the bandshell stage.

“We were praying over these mats when we were making them and we’d like you to have one,” Newhaus said as she offered one to the man, who identified himself as Bradley Keith, 47, of Albuquerque, N.M. At first, he declined the offer, saying he had two sleeping bags at his camp.

But Newhaus persisted and soon he agreed to accept the gift on one condition.

“I’ll trade you,” Keith said, handing her a folded pair of denim overalls.

“Pass them on to someone who can use them.”

The women also gave a mat to his companion, who identified herself only as Roberta from Colorado. Unlike Keith, who openly told the women of his life, Roberta was clearly uncomfortable with the attention and answered “It’s touch and go” to most questions posed to her.

Empty Bowls dinner to bring hundreds together to help needy

By Tribune staff

It started in a church basement with about four dozen Crock Pots of soup and has grown into the Tri-Lakes region event of the season bringing hundreds together to help the needy.

It’s the Empty Bowls Dinner and Silent Auction, sponsored by the Monument Hill Kiwanis Club, and it is tonight, Wednesday, Oct. 5, at LewisPalmer High School.

Last year, the dinner drew an estimated 1,200 people who sampled donated soups, bread and desserts from 50 restaurants and businesses.

The result came a few weeks later when R.F. Smith, president of the Kiwanis Club, presented a check for $21,730 to Haley Chapin, executive director of Tri-Lakes Cares, the region’s food bank, at the club’s Dec. 12 meeting.

That check ceremony capped six months of planning and the volunteer efforts of more than 60 Kiwanis club members.

Trustees to hear Jackson Creek Assisted Living Center plans

Movie Night – Saturday, Oct. 8

By Bill Vogrin

A proposal to build a three-story assisted living center on 6.5-acres along Jackson Creek Parkway was among the major items on the Oct. 3 meeting agenda for the Monument Board of Trustees.

If approved, the $27 million Jackson Creek Assisted Living would be built by Greenwood Partners of Denver on the east side of the parkway north of Harness Road. A self-storage facility is under construction across the road near an electric substation.

Plans submitted with the application show a large 128,500-square-foot “H” shaped building, 43-feet tall, featuring two prominent stone pillars in the front.

In its first phase, the facility would consist of 27 independent-living units, 76 assisted-living units and 28 memory-care units along with 18 garages. A future phase would add 31 units.

Traffic access would be directly from the parkway and Harness Road and the site plan calls for 122 parking spaces.

Take a break from reality TV and tune in to real-life at Town Hall It’s hard to turn your eyes away from the absurd reality TV show that our campaign for the White House has become. It’s a complete train wreck.

But how can you not watch it play out?

Still it’s important you focus on something else: the action in upcoming weeks at Town Hall.

Big decisions will be made in the next few meetings of the Board of Trustees by our elected officials on how to spend millions of dollars of our tax money.

These are important decisions about where your property taxes and sale taxes and fees and other revenue will be spent in 2017.

We’re not talking about some vague, federal programs in Washington D.C. that seem so remote and inaccessible that you need not bother trying to influence the outcome.

This is your local government deciding things that directly impact your life. It’s seven elected leaders and

PIKES PEAK BILL Bill Vogrin

billvogrin@yourpeaknews.com

a handful of town staff making decisions on things like whether to spend $500,000 to renovate Limbach Park and install a splash ground and new playground equipment.

Wouldn’t you like to have a voice in that decision?

In fact, you already did if you showed up at the parks department community meetings last fall and spoke up about the amenities you’d like to see in Monument parks.

Now you can influence whether the project stays in the 2017 budget or gets eliminated in favor of someone

else’s pet project.

From now until Dec. 5, the folks at Town Hall will wrestle with a host of spending questions. Should they give raises to town staff? Should they approve spending to push ahead with a new water tank or $12 million water recycling plant?

Maybe you’d rather see new shuffleboard and horseshoe pits at Lavelett Park. Or a zipline across Interstate 25.

Whatever.

You have to show up and speak up.

That means taking a couple hours away from the latest “breaking news” about emails, foundations, bankruptcies and the latest insults.

And you need to do a little homework before you go. Start by checking out the rough draft of the budget prepared for the Board of Trustees at its Oct. 3 meeting.

You can find it by going to the TownOfMonument.org, clicking on “meetings” and “documents on de-

mand.” There you will select “Board of Trustees” and then click on “BOT Packets” then “2016” and finally “Oct. 3, 2016.”

Whew! Not exactly intuitive, eh?

Start scrolling through the agenda and supporting documents until you find the budget at the bottom. It’s quite long but not hard to understand.

Look hard at where your money is going to go. Maybe you have a better idea of how to spend your tax dollars.

Believe it or not, your elected leaders would welcome your input. They are people, just like you, trying to do what they think voters want done. Too often, they are left guessing the will of the people because so few bother to get involved.

So start clicking, brush up on the budget and then show up at the upcoming budget hearings and let your voice be heard.

Don’t worry. You won’t miss much with the circus, I mean the race for the presidency.

40 Years Ago Tri Lakes Tribune October 7, 1976 Monument Historical Meeting: Monument Historical Group met on September 30. Mrs. Alma Hallingsworth, who lives southeast of Elbert in the Table Rock area, presented an interesting slide show. She is a member of the Archaeological Society of Denver.

She has found bones of ancient animals, Indian head arrows, one which dates back 10,000 years. She also has marbles made of stone which she feels were a part of Indian games.

Highway Maintenance Facility: The maintenance facility is not compatible with the area where it is now located and is considered an eyesore.

Michael Nusca of Woodmont Realty drafted a peti-

tion and got more than 300 people to sign. Jack Kinstlinger, executive director of the highway department, agrees it is and eyesore. Plans are being made to relocate as soon as a suitable location is found.

Monument Man killed in Crash: A one car crash 3 miles east of Monument killed Richard J. Pfrang.

His vehicle, a 3 day old sports car, failed to negotiate a curve, traveled along the ditch on the opposite side of the road, became airborne and hit a tree at 54 inches above the ground. A newspaper carrier spotted the car at 5:05 a.m. Pfrang is survived by his wife, Eve, and 2 year old daughter.

New Chalice for Monument Church: A silver chalice made by silversmith Cecil Colyer, a retired schoolmaster of Shillingston in Dorset and a member of the Society of Designer-Craftsman, is now the

Pestal Communion Cup of the new Episcopal Mission in Monument. Major-General and Mrs. Roger M. Lilly were visiting their daughter in England and commissioned the chalice as a gift to St. Matthias. A matching Paten was also executed.

Mansion Tour October 19th: Residents are invited for a tour of the Molly Brown home and Governor’s Mansion. A bus will leave Woodmoor Country Club at 8:30 a.m. and expected to return about 3:30 p.m.

Please make reservation by October 12.

The Tribune 5

You can learn from the paper today, perhaps more than you ever could Always, there is the struggle for relevance.

In the San Juans of Colorado, where I grew up, the arrival of a newspaper meant the town had also arrived.

Creede, for example, in the 1890s started out with four newspapers. Telluride had as many six papers operating in the heyday.

And locally, there were as many as seven different papers practicing the craft in Cripple Creek District, at least two of them as daily publications. But, just as today, nothing is guaranteed.

“Rico, for instance, during the first 20 years of its life had ten different newspapers, only one lasting longer than six years,” notes John L. Ninneman and Duane Smith in their recent book “San Juan Bonanza.”

Mining areas, though desperate for service provided by a newspaper, often struggled for the technology to catch up. Boomtown Fairbanks in Alaska, with about 1,000 people, and only 387 houses either finished or in the process of construction, six saloons, and no churches in 1903, had one of the most expensive newspapers in the world at the time, at $5 per copy for “The Fairbanks Miner.”

The editorial policy of The Fairbanks Miner was straightforward, wrote Terrance Cole in his book “E.T. Barnnette” about the founder of Fairbanks.

“Published occasionally at Fairbanks, Alaska, by a stampeder who is waiting for the snow to melt and the ice to go out in the rivers . . . If you don’t like our style, fly your kite and produce your 30-30,” wrote Judge James Wickersham, who started the “Miner” to raise cash to finance a trip to climb Mount McKinley.

Wickersham and a public stenographer named G. Carlton Woodward, who had brought a small Empire green-ribboned typewriter with him from Dawson in Yukon territory, typed the entire issue. They made seven copies, and three were put in the saloons and one was mailed to Sen. Charles

Fairbanks.

Only one issue of “The Fairbanks Miner” was published because the ice went out, just as they were going to press.

The landscape for newspaper survival outside the mining districts was not much better.

The first newspaper in Monument was established by A.T. Blachly in 1878, and called the “Mentor.” It only lasted until 1880, but the Monument Journal picked up the torch briefly. By 1885, another paper, called the El Paso County Register, was going and survived until 1889.

In 1890, another publication, the “Monument Recorder” lasted less than a year, but about the same time, the “Monument Messenger” arrived and lasted until 1911.

A replacement didn’t hit the scene again until “Preacher Sam,” who lived near Monument Lake created the “Lake View Press” in the 1950s. The “Columbine Herald” appeared on the scene about the same time. Then in the 1960s, our forerunner, the Monument Palmer Lake News, which later included the Woodmoor News, was first published

by George Kobolt of Castle Rock.

Critics of print in general, and our paper specifically, brush us off as relic of some not-too-distant past. They talk of a bygone era where the country editor might lead varied life. He usually had useful knowledge in every subject, was a good debater, a good listener, an instructive talker and generous to the limit of his ability.

“He had been from devil, up to pressman, in a printing office,” wrote

An old Linotype from earlier days of the Cripple Creek Times provides a backdrop for a Royal typewriter in the foreground. The two have rested there for years at City Hall in Cripple Creek.

M.V. Atwood in “The Country Newspaper” describing this individual.

“He could sweep floors; clean cuspidors, set type; make up forms; run job press, cylinder, stitcher, binder, or engine; could repair them all if they got out of order; could write news, or editorial; correct proof; and sell papers on the street. He learned all he knew in the office. The modern efficiency and ‘spe-

cializing’ methods have eliminated this relic of olden times, but there is just as much to be learned in the printing office, as there was then,” wrote Atwood in 1923.

Don’t count us out in the innovation arena, and be careful of, and perhaps show respect for, the idea that there is just as much to be learned in the local paper today — as there ever has been.

More tales of predecessors to the current summit house A while back, I told of the plans for a new Pikes Peak Summit House. So, how did the story come out?

Remember, the U.S. Forest Service took over the operation of the Pikes Peak highway from Broadmoor founder Spencer Penrose’s company.

He had started operating the toll road in 1916.

The first “highway” summit house was built on the southwest corner of the top of the mountain, right where the road reaches the highest point.

In the early days of the forest service operation, a new summit house was planned. My earlier story described some pretty interesting ideas.

In 1938, the new summit house

CABOOSE COBWEBS Mel McFarland

opened. It sat just where the old one had been. This one was built of concrete on a concrete slab. The earlier wooden building had a reputation of blowing in the breeze.

The more solid building would stand boldly. It had a tower, like the railroad’s building across the summit,

but this one was enclosed against the weather.

It was fun for tourists to take a picture from the railroad tower, then go over and get one looking back from the road tower. Inside the building a cafe served the traditional summit donuts and hot chocolate, just like they did over in the railroad summit house.

Both buildings were operated by the same company, for the most part.

Each had their own tourist items and the employees had a friendly rivalry.

The company liked to employ young men from other parts of the country.

One summer, most were from a variety of Kansas towns.

In the late 1950s, both buildings burned and were torn down, replaced by a single building that is now destined to be replaced by another new summit house.

It was recently announced that work was soon to start on this more spectacular building, some 100 years after the first highway summit house opened.

The floor of the 1938 summit house can still be found in the rocks near where the finish line of the famous hill climb marks history.

The spot is also not far from where an airplane was placed in the 1960s, only to be dismantled by the mountains winds.

Palmer Lake voters to answer three pot questions Nov. 8

By Bill Vogrin

In Palmer Lake, some questions never seem to get answered.

And moratoriums really don’t mean anything.

Just ask voters who, on Nov. 8, will again be facing the question of legalizing retail sales of recreational marijuana.

It will be the third time they’ve answered the question. And it is being asked again even though a supposed three-year moratorium on the issue has not expired.

In addition, voters will be asked to impose a 5 percent tax on retail pot sales, if the first question to legalize recreational pot sales is approved.

In a separate, third question, voters will decide whether to impose a 5 percent “excise” tax on marijuana currently being grown in the community Of 2,600 at the base of Sundance Mountain and distributed on a wholesale basis.

The two questions related to retail sales of pot were put on the ballot after a petition campaign by longtime Palmer Lake resident Brenda Woodward and her daughter, Melissa Woodward.

Brenda’s late father, George Reese, was on the Board of Trustees in Palmer Lake and her late mother, Janice Reese, was involved in the arts community.

Brenda is co-owner, with her brother, Curt Reese, of Premier Organics, a pot grow facility in Palmer Lake.

She and Melissa organized Regulate Palmer Lake

to push for legalization of recreational pot. They wrote their petition to allow just one retail pot shop licensee for every 2,000 adult residents, to ensure the town wouldn’t be overrun with shops.

They also want to limit operating hours for stores and only allow existing marijuana businesses to be licensed. That language would narrow the field of eligible retail shop licensees to the Woodwards and Dino Salvatori, who operates another grow facility in Palmer Lake and runs the town’s only medical marijuana dispensary, Palmer Lake Wellness.

The companion measure to the legalization petition is the request to impose a 5 percent retail sales tax. The Woodwards told The Tribune in August the tax would generate $500,000 in revenue during the first year, providing funds the town could use for wildfire mitigation work, to build sidewalks, curbs and gutters and to maintain streets.

Town manager Cathy Green said the Board of Trustees consulted with its attorney about the petitions and learned the previously approved moratorium only applied to questions sponsored by the board.

“Citizens have the legal right to petition and over-

ride the moratorium and that’s exactly what they did,” Green said. “Nobody can stop that.”

But that doesn’t mean the board endorsed or supported the effort. Prior to being appointed mayor in April, John Cressman Jr. announced his opposition to retail recreational pot sales in Palmer Lake. Other trustees also are on record opposing it. Green said nothing has changed.

“The trustees honored the citizen’s right to petition,” she said. “But I don’t think they support it.”

In fact, she’s not sure who supports the questions because she isn’t hearing a lot of talk about them around town.

Certainly there hasn’t been any spirited debates, like those that surrounded past efforts to legalize retail pot sales in Palmer Lake. The most recent attempt came in April 2014 when a record voter turnout saw rec pot sales defeated 538 to 481.

Green suggested the town’s land-use rules prohibiting any pot shops in the downtown area might explain the calm around the issue this time.

“Because of the way our land-use codes are written, it’s always going to be pushed to the edges of town,” she said. “We’ll never have a marijuana shop next to O’Malley’s or by the park.”

Green is equally unclear how voters will respond to the trustees’ effort to enact an excise tax on wholesale pot distribution.

“It’s a 5 percent tax and we calculate it would generate $90,000,” she said. “I haven’t heard a lot of talk either way.”

Draft of 2017 budget includes splash ground in Limbach Park

By Bill Vogrin

A splash ground, which combines playground structures with water fountains’ cannons and other spray features, is one of the major items in the first draft of the 2017 Monument town budget.

There’s also money for engineering of a new water tank planned at 744 Forest View Way west of Monument Lake.

The town recently bought the lot for $204,000 in anticipation of building a large storage tank on the site. It is expected to cost upward of $1.5 million to build, although construction is still a ways off.

Raises and health benefits for employees are other major line items in the budget draft, released last week in advance of the Oct. 3 meeting of the Monument Board of Trustees.

The budget will be debated in coming weeks and shaped into a final budget to be presented Dec. 5, with a final vote by the board planned Dec. 20.

Town treasurer Pam Smith struck a cautionary tone in her written introduction.

“As the town’s population continues to grow and citizen expectations remain high regarding the scope and quality of town services, the needs of the community far outweigh the available resources of the town,” Smith said.

Nowen!!

Op

She laid the economic forecasts used as the premise for projected revenue increases.

“Economic growth has continued to slowly improve across the nation and locally,” she said, noting some concern as “consumers struggle with the effects of volatile energy prices, a stabilizing housing market and slow job growth.”

Still, there are enough positive signs in the economy for the town to project continued revenue growth.

“We remain cautiously optimistic that the Monument area will continue to support a strong economy,” Smith wrote.

General fund net revenue is projected to increase 4.2 percent, or $343,000, in the budget draft.

Revenue in the water enterprise fund is expected to increase 8.6 percent, due mainly to the water rate increase passed earlier in 2016.

The increased income won’t be enough to cover the cost of paying engineers to come up with a treatment solution for radium in water from well No. 9, so the budget anticipates borrowing $100,000. The town is pursuing a low-interest loan from the U.S. Department of Agriculture through the Colorado Rural Water Association.

Officials have suggested the actual solution could cost upward of

$400,000, depending on whether a filtering system is installed or some other fix.

“We’re planning to spend about $45,000 this year and $100,000 next year on engineering,” Smith said in an interview. “We won’t get down to the physical equipment part of it until mid- to late-2017. We’re very early in the process.”

The budget includes proposed spending of $1.85 million in “capital asset improvements” that presume $375,000 acquired in matching grants and $410,000 in new capital leases.

The budget assumes general fund sales tax revenue of $5.4 million in 2017, up slightly from a year earlier.

Sales taxes are important because they represent 54 percent of the town revenue stream.

But the combined sales and use taxes, paid on items bought on the internet or by mail order, are expected to result in an overall decrease of 2.2 percent in the revenue due to sagging use tax collections.

Property taxes represent 16 percent of the town income and they are projected to generate $904,000 in 2017, or a 5.5 percent increase.

The budget anticipates $432,000 from franchise fees paid by electric, phone, cable television and other utilities.

Liquor licenses, court, land-use and various other fees are projected to produce $285,000.

Among the new, big expenses in the budget is an anticipated 10 percent increase for employee health benefits.

The budget also proposes merit pay increases ranging up to 3 percent for town employees.

Combined, those represent hefty line items because salary and benefits for the town’s 53 employees represent 55 percent of the town’s budgeted expenditures.

Among other expenditures is money for water distribution lines, upgrading of water mains and emergency generators. There is no money in the budget to install an emergency connection with another water system in the region to provide backup if Monument ever experienced the type of leak and emergency that plagued Tri-View Water District last summer. Such an emergency connection was to be discussed Oct. 3 and the costs run over $1 million, depending on the partnering district chosen.

Likely to be more popular when it comes to spending is the proposed town expense of $150,000 for splash park and other improvements at Limbach Park. Splash parks are a trendy alternative to swimming pools and See Budget on Page 8

The money would be used to match a $350,000 grant from Great Outdoors Colorado, or GOGO, the state agency created in 1992 when voters approved the Colorado Lottery and designated proceeds to go into a trust fund to pay for trails, parks, wildlife, open spaces, playgrounds and more.

Smith said the $500,000 project would include installing the splash ground, resurfacing the existing playground with a softer material, buying new playground equipment, building a trail around the park as well as installing more seating at the pavilion

and park.

“It’s a major re-do of the park focused on children and family,” Smith said. “It’s a result of the community discussions related to the park master plan. Now it’s gotten wrapped into the town comprehensive plan.”

Smith said she hopes the Limbach Park renovation is the first in a series of major park overhauls.

“We look at Limbach as our family park,” she said. “We see Dirty Woman as the place for parties and sports events and teens. We’d like make some changes to turn Lavelett Park into the seniors park. That would give each park an identity.”

At the time, Raycraft projected a 1214 month construction period, meaning the center could open in January 2018.

The Jackson Creek project closely followed a March announcement of plans for Bethesda Gardens Monument, a $13.5 million, 60-unit senior apartment project on Beacon Lite Road, on the west side of Interstate 25.

Construction of that project is well underway.

The Jackson Creek facility will employ 35 people and offer 24-hour staffing and a wide range of amenities.

Planned services will include: individual dining areas on each floor, and

social and cultural, as well as educational and physical activities.

The facility will provide concierge services, a barber and beauty salon, short-term respite care, separate office space for medical, dental, optical and podiatric services, as well as a chapel, bistro café, community store, and guest apartments.

A Colorado Springs construction company will build the Jackson Creek facility, with tentative plans for a November groundbreaking and grand opening in January 2018.

accompanying his old girlfriend when she drove up from New Mexico.

“I’ve been stuck here six months,” he said. “I’ve been doing day work. Just trying to find jobs from anyone who will hire me.”

Keith said he appreciated the gift but he had mixed emotions.

“It’s embarrassing to me that someone wants to give me stuff,” he said. “It makes me feel OK.” The women assured him that he was not being judged and they valued him and would be praying for him.

“We’re all God’s children,” Keith replied.

Roberta said she was “new to this” and didn’t want to talk with the strangers.

“But I appreciate the gift,” she said.

Next, the women approached a man who was nearby and angrily re-arranging his bags and gear. Like Roberta, the man was not interested in talking, although he thanked them for the mat.

Nearby at a picnic table, the women found Dave Kaczor of Milwaukee, who happily accepted a mat, thanking them and repeatedly exclaiming “Happy Easter!”

Kaczor said he was retired from

Evinrude Outboard Motors in Milwaukee where he made boat motors. He was clearly grateful for the gift and the attention.

As they contemplated what to do with their denim overalls they had received from Keith, the women talked about their efforts and all agreed they were heartened by the people they met in the park.

“They are just people who need some help,” Rose said.

“They were so grateful,” O’Regan said.

“I think we confirmed we’ll make more mats,” Newhaus said.

Then there was the gift the women received.

“Each of them thanked us,” Putman said. “It was a beautiful blessing they gave us.”

On the front it just says From The Church at Woodmoor Made by the Knit Wits. Inside it said “This item was crafted with prayers for your healing body, mind and spirit by someone with the talent to knit or crochet. As you use it may you be comforted by the presence of those who love and support you and may you feel the warm embrace of our Heavenly Father.”

Then there is a Prayer of Blessing.

Gritty folk/rock followed by electronic pop headline TLCA this week Shows are Oct. 6 and 7 at Palmer Lake venue

By Danny Summers dannysummers@yourpeaknews.com

Back-to-back shows featuring vastly different performers highlight a busy week at the Tri-Lakes Center for the Arts in Palmer Lake.

On Thursday, Oct. 6, Joshua Davis, of “The Voice” fame, will perform his unique style of folk, gritty rock n’ roll and vintage soul.

Then on Friday, Oct. 7, Conjure One, a Canadian electronic music project, headed by Rhys Fulber, better known as a member of Front Line Assembly and Delerium, will perform its one and only Colorado show.

Both shows begins at 7 p.m. with doors opening at 6.

This is Davis’ second appearance at the TLCA. He performed there last October.

“We’re excited to have him back,” said TLCA executive director Michael Maddox. “When I saw him on ‘The Voice,’ I knew that I had to bring him to the Tri-Lakes Center for the Arts.”

Davis was raised in the folk tradition: the music, the social movements, the land. Performing Songwriter Magazine calls his music: “Some of the liveliest and most rocking roots music around.”

For over 15 years Davis has made his living sharing his songs, stories and knowledge across the United States and Canada at festivals, concert halls, coffee houses and dives, both as a solo act and front man for roots ensemble “Steppin’ In It,” classic swing band “Shout Sister Shout,” songwriter showcase band “The Starlight Six” and frequently as a workshop facilitator, presenter or instructor.

Davis’ music is steeped in ragtime blues, sweet jazz and real country.

He gained fame on The Voice last year when he finished No. 3 overall. He teamed with Maroon Five front man Adam Levine on the hit show.

Next up is Conjure One and Maddox believes TLCA guests will also take a liking to electronic

musician Rhys Fulber.

“If you have not already done so, I would strongly encourage you to listen to “Center of the Sun,” Conjure One’s haunting, ethereal hit song,” Maddox said. “When I first heard this song, it blew me away. I knew I had to pull out all the stops to bring Conjure One to the TLCA.” Advance ticket for Davis are $25 for TLCA members; $20 for non-members. Day of show tickets are $25 and $30.

Advance ticket for Conjure One are $22 for TLCA members; $25 for nonmembers. Day of show tickets are $25 and $28.

The TLCA is located at 304 Highway 105 in Palmer Lake. For more information, call 719-481-0475 or go to www.trilakesarts.org.

The TLCA has enjoyed a power-packed season with such acts as Ronny Cox, Phil Keaggy, Chuck Girard, Rufus and Bethany Yarrow (daughter of folk music legend Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paula and Mary Fame) and Judy Collins.

“Judy Collins was absolutely outstanding,” Maddox said. “Judy staged a classy show, which prompted several standing ovations.”

Sometimes, sports are about more than balls, strikes, wins, losses

Michael Hauser, a third-grader at Kilmer Elementary School, threw out the first pitch and then received high fives and fist bumps from players and coaches. He was presented with a softball signed by the Palmer Ridge players and he walked off the field to applause from the crowd.

Players from both teams wore gold ribbons in their hair.

Who is Michael Hauser, you ask, and why did he receive the royal treatment?

Michael is a cancer survivor. More important, last week Michael had his final chemo treatments. His scans are clear and he is considered NED (no evidence of disease) with this final scan coming up Oct. 14 at Children’s Hospital.

That’s certainly worthy of a celebration.

“After that scan, we will know the next phase of the plan,” said Michael’s mother, Janae.

But the Hausers can’t relax just yet.

And that’s why what the Bears did in honoring Michael and all the folks in the same situation is so important.

They took a break from worrying about their batting averages and fielding percentages to remember how lucky they are to be healthy and able to compete at a high level.

The Bears honored Michael as as part of the team’s first-ever “Go Gold for Childhood Cancer” game. I love it when coaches and teams make a point of recognizing those who can’t run the bases or swing a bat or may never hear the cheers of adoring fans.

These events are a great lesson for the athletes and a heartwarming moment in the spotlight for those like Michael.

And the last year has been quite a journey for Michael and his family, which includes his dad, Scott, brother, Jack (a sixth grader at Bear Creek) and sister Emma (a sophomore at Palmer Ridge).

In the summer of 2015, while on a summer vacation with his family in Missouri, Michael was diagnosed with medulloblastoma and underwent emergency surgery at a Columbia, Miss., hospital. He remained in that hospital from July 17 through Oct. 2, when he was flown to Children’s Hos-

pital in Denver.

Medulloblastoma is a cancerous tumor – also called cerebellar primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) – that starts in the region of the brain at the base of the skull, called the posterior fossa. These tumors tend to spread to other parts of the brain and to the spinal cord.

According to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, medulloblastoma is the most common malignant brain tumor of childhood, and it accounts for about 20 percent of all childhood brain tumors.

Between 250 and 500 children are found to have medulloblastoma each year in the U.S. Most medulloblastoma tumors are found in children younger than age 16, but they can rarely occur in adults, and it is slightly more common in boys than in girls.

Following Michael’s surgery, and for months afterward, he couldn’t walk, talk or eat on his own.

“He had complications after surgery,” Scott Hauser said. “He couldn’t

blink, anything. No response.”

Through extensive rehabilitation Michael slowly began his trek back toward being a healthy red-blooded American boy. So when the Palmer Ridge softball team wanted to honor Michael, the family felt comfortable enough to have him participate.

“I totally feel great that they asked us to be a part of this,” Janae Hauser said. “A year ago if you asked me, I don’t know how I would have felt. We were still in the hospital and this was all so new to us. But now, after having gone through this, anything we can do to raise the awareness of childhood cancer is so important.”

The idea to honor Michael came from Palmer Ridge sophomore catcher Kylie Walker.

Last fall, Walker and her Palmer Ridge teammates played a game at Valor Christian in Highlands Ranch.

The game was dedicated to breast cancer awareness.

Walker thought it would be great idea do something similar at a Palmer Ridge home game. So over the course of the next year, she explored various options. She talked with Michael’s sister, Emma, about the possibility of honoring Michael.

“We thought it would be really cool if we did this for children’s cancer,” Walker said. “Michael is a very sweet kid. It looks like he and his family have gone through such a hard time. But I’m glad he’s made it through ok.”

Palmer Ridge coach Daniel Tarwater was on board with the idea to honor Michael and to have him throw out the first pitch.

“This is not an inconvenience for the coaches to support anything like this,” said Tarwater, who stood next to Michael as he threw out the first pitch to Walker. “This is a great thing and we hope to do something like it every year.”

Walker’s mother, Heather, helped arrange the Go Gold day.

“We just want to bring awareness to childhood cancer,” Heather Walker said. “The girls have just been great.”

Palmer Ridge senior Sam Rippley was among those who took time to pose for photos with Michael.

“I hope this will open some eyes,” Rippley said.

Added Palmer Ridge freshman third baseman Carson Saabye: “It’s important as a community that we work hard to help each other out. I hope we can raise some awareness for childhood cancer.”

I am thankful that I’ve had the chance to meet Michael. And I am especially grateful that Kylie Walker was determined to bring childhood cancer awareness to the forefront.

The event she organized will have a lasting impact on the players, fans, coaches and umpires who were at that game.

I can’t wait until I get a chance to write about Michael’s own exploits on the field!

‘Mr. Inside’ and ‘Mr. Outside’ a lethal combo for Rangers

By Danny Summers dannysummers@yourpeaknews.com

Lewis-Palmer High School’s junior tailback Dieudonne Van Chea is fast.

His backfield mate, senior fullback Charley Young, is punishing.

Chea dashes outside for big gains while Young pounds out the hard yards inside.

Together, Mr. Outside Chea and Mr. Inside Young are putting up staggering numbers and scoring touchdowns at a frenzied pace for the Rangers football team.

Van Chea is so fast, in fact, that once the 5-foot-10, 180-pounder gets free from the first onslaught of defenders he usually makes it all the way to the end zone.

Through four games, he rushed for 811 yards and 10 touchdowns, including a career-high 299 yards against Pueblo County in a Week 4 42-22 blowout.

Not bad for a first-year starter.

“You give Dieudonne the ball and he just needs a small crease,” said L-P coach Dustin Tupper. “But Dieudonne

is not afraid to take it inside. He’s done a good job of taking contact. Taking the hits.”

Young, at 6-foot-1, 210-pounds, is a runner who, once he smashes into the open field, also has the ability to turn on his afterburners and jet away from defenders. He rushed for 492 yards and 10 touchdowns through four games.

“Charley is a great power back with a lot of speed and we complement each other very well,” said Chea, who is better known as ‘D’ to his teammates and friends. “He blocks very well and when he’s running I try my best to divert the middle linebackers for him with my fakes.”

Neither Chea nor Young is more valuable than the other in the Rangers’ lethal offense that is averaging more than 400 yards per game. “(Dieudonne) has really come into his own,” Young said. “It’s beautiful because there’s not one person leading the team. Nobody’s irreplaceable on this team.”

Added Tupper: “That fullback plays a key part in getting that tailback loose.

Lewis-Palmer junior tailback Dieudonne Van Chea is enjoying a breakout junior season for the Rangers, rushing for more than 800 yards through the team’s first four games. He played in four games as a sophomore, topping 100 yards against Harrison in the regular season finale.

Lewis-Palmer senior fullback Charley Young is a three-year starter for the Rangers. He has 24 touchdowns in 16 games.

Charley has good legs. Good balance.

And he’s worked his way back from a lot of injuries to play tough football.”

Young had the more impressive resume coming into this campaign. A three-year starter, Young had a breakout sophomore campaign when he rushed for a team-leading 941 yards in six games, scoring six touchdowns (ranking him second on the team in that category) before a season-ending injury.

As a junior, Young had 365 yards and eight touchdowns before another injury ended his season after six games.

This season, Young has topped 100 yards in a game three times. The only time he failed to top the century mark was against Pueblo County when he rushed for 72 yards and two touchdowns on 14 carries.

“Those guys work hard and those guys are the root of our offense,” said L-P senior quarterback Kevin Tims.

“We have some of the best linemen in the state and they make their jobs easier opening holes for those runners.

“The run game takes L-P’s offense to the win.”

Chea began the season with a 170yard, three touchdown performance over Mead in a 50-35 L-P victory. A

week later he rushed for 150 yards and a score in a 42-0 win over evergreen.

But his breakout game was in Week 3 against crosstown rival Palmer Ridge when he used his 4.43-second speed in the 40-yard dash to run wild for 202 yards and three touchdowns in a 51-9 Rangers’ victory. His last score, a 47yard run, was followed by the L-P band playing the music to the Notre Dame fight song.

Young also shined against Palmer Ridge, tallying 140 yards and four touchdowns on 22 carries.

Young is quick to deflect the attention away for himself.

“We’ve got a tight senior group and our junior are helping us out, and sophomores are always helping us out at practice running scouts and everything,” he said. “We don’t struggle and fight with each other. Most of these guys played in middle school together.

We’re friends. We like each other and that helps on the field.”

The Rangers are 5-0 heading into this week’s Class 3A Southern League opener with Canon City. Can Chea and Young keep it up? Only time will tell.

But if they do it will continue to be a long season for tacklers trying to bring down Mr. Inside and Mr. Outside.

Thunder enter postseason as conference champs

By Danny Summers dannysummers@yourpeaknews.com

When Discovery Canyon High School junior ace pitcher Corah Price went down with a concussion during a Sept. 14 game with Falcon, it came at a time when the Thunder was just getting into the meat of its Class 4A Pikes Peak Athletic Conference schedule.

No worries.

Jessica Johnson ran in from the bullpen, recorded the last out in the DCC victory, and supplied some much needed relief over the next few weeks to keep her team on a steady course as it marched toward the league championship.

“Jessica has gained a lot of confidence and she’s Courtesy photo done a phenomenal job for us,” said DCC coach TanDiscovery Canyon senior catcher Larissa Lum is a four-year ya Ramsay. “Going into playoffs, this is probably the starter for the Thunder. first time we’ve had two pitchers we can put out there 10-hitter in a 5-3 Thunder victory as the team imand know we can get (wins) with.”

Johnson, a junior, started five games in place of proved to 7-0 in conference, 12-5 overall.

Price is 7-4 this season with a 2.49 ERA. Price, going 4-1 with a pair of shutouts. Three of those The Thunder closes out its regular season this victories were over PPAC foes. Her resume included a week with non-league games against Pueblo West and 13-3 win over crosstown rival Lewis-Palmer.

“My role is to help the team in any way I can,” said Pueblo Central.

“One at bat at a time,” said Lum, who is hitting .358.

Johnson, who has also seen time in the outfield this “A key for us this year is being together and not having season.

In 10 mound appearances (five starts), Johnson is any division between upperclassmen and lower classmen. I’ve never seen any of that with this team.”

4-1 with a paltry 1.75 earned run average.

Discovery Canyon played a tough non-league Thunder senior catcher Larissa Lum said Johnson was more than adequate as Price’s replacement.

“Jess is incredible,” Lum said. “She’s less experienced than Corah, but she Volume Discounts definitely makes up for it with a killer changeup. She looks sweet on the outside but her changeup is nasty and she hits her spots.”

Price made a return to Limited Offer the mound on Sept. 28 against Vista Ridge. She Family Owned Business tossed a complete-game

schedule, something Ramsay hopes will help set her team up for future success come district playoffs next week.

“It prepares for the kind of competition we’re going to see at the playoff level, and it challenges us throughout the season and hopefully gives us a good RPI (Ratings Percentage Index),” said Ramsay, who has guided the Thunder to the state tournament in six of the seven previous seasons.

The Thunder is ninth in RPI. The top eight teams host one of eight four-team district tournaments. The top two teams from each district advance to the state tournament.

The RPI system has its flaws. Air Academy, the second-place team in the PPAC, is eighth in RPI. The Colorado High School Activities Association will release the district brackets on Sunday, Oct. 9.
