Getting to know the director of planning, Mike Pesicka Monument projects, development take considerable coordination, time By Jennifer Cunningham
Contributing writer
Although behind the scenes, the town of Monument Planning Department plays a major role in the overall look and feel of the town. Mike Pesicka, the director since August 2014, manages a wide variety of tasks regulated by zoning, permitting and various approval processes. Planner Morgan Hester and Tom Martinez, engineering assistant, round out the entire department. Monument is overlaid by numerous special districts. At present, nine separate entities play a role in the planning and development of the town. The largest entity is the Triview Metropolitan District, enveloping 2,580 acres, including the Jackson Creek area. According to their website, the district was formed in 1985, but was annexed into Monument in 1987. It operates like a town, providing water, sewer, road maintenance and public safety in the form of traffic control devices. They do not control zoning of this area, which the town retains, but Triview must review and approve any changes.
POSTAL ADDRESS
Other significant districts include Woodmoor Water and Sanitation, Monument Sanitation District, which has its own board of directors unaffiliated with the town, and the Tri-Lakes Fire District. Parts of Monument are tied to the Palmer Lake Sanitation District. It is understandable residents are unclear on who to contact when issues arise. “For a town this small, it’s a lot of different districts,” said Pesicka. He is used to working with special districts. Prior to Monument, Pesicka was a principal planner with the city of Centennial. There he dealt with similar issues and concerns. Aside from coordinating with multiple districts, Pesicka also works closely with El Paso County. Numerous properties in Monument, especially commercial use, access county roads. The county also controls the vast unincorporated areas surrounding Monument, so open communication is vital. Perhaps the most important task on Pesicka’s desk is the comprehensive plan. Its last formal review was in 2003. He immediately recognized the need to update the document and approached the board in January to begin the long process. This document determines community goals and aspirations in terms of development. It dictates public policy for transportation, utilities, land use, recreation and housing. Because of manpower constraints, the plan will be done via contract. Prior to sending out a request for proposal, assuming the budget allows, will be approval of the timeline by the town’s board of trustees. The completion of the comprehensive plan is at least one year out. When the process launches, a committee, with supporting sub-committees, will be formed to garner input from the town and surrounding area residents. “It is vital to get communities’ input on issues that concern the town although they’re not in the town,” Pesicka said.
Monument Director of Planning, Mike Pesicka, reviews one of many projects currently in process. There are multiple steps a developer needs to take prior to beginning any new venture. Photos by Jennifer Cunningham Pesicka’s biggest surprise has been how busy Monument is for its size. He has 20 planning requests for approval in process. They are evenly divided between residential and commercial proposals. His role is first working with the developer to prepare their package for public
hearing. He reviews codes, land use and buffer zones, and recommends changes prior to submittal. Once the developer meets requirements, the package goes before the Planning Commission for review. This panel, made up of ideally seven members appointed
by the trustees, meets publicly on the first Monday of each month. They can approve, deny or approve with conditions. If the package is approved, it then proceeds to the town council. Once the Planning Pesicka continues on Page 3

Flower beds on town property need constant attention to maintain beauty By Jennifer Cunningham Contributing writer
The role of town gardener is more than planting flowers and trimming trees. In fact, Sharon Williams often laments not being able to get outside more. The resident expert for more than seven years, Williams plays a tremendous part in the health and visual appeal of the town’s flora. She received her master gardener certificate in 2008 through the Colorado State University Extension Master Gardener program, then continued on to gain Native Plant Master credentials. Annual renewal of these credentials involve graduate-level continuing education, serving the public at the CSU Extension El Paso County Master Gardener Help Desk, working on various community projects, and developing, providing, and presenting public education. She is also a member of the Colorado Native Plant Society and Colorado Weed Management Association. As the town gardener, she is responsible for many state-mandated plans. The noxious weed plan, which every municipality is required to have, identifies potential risks specific to the town property. Some weeds can pose significant health risks, so it is important to identify their locations and know proper mitigation techniques. A plan Williams hopes to never implement
is the Invasive Disease and Pest Prevention and Response Plan. She is constantly observing plants looking for disease or pest intrusion. The plan identifies the process to report occurrences, along with elimination and recovery procedures. Crucial to the town’s future aesthetics is the tree inventory, soon entering its second phase. Early this year, state officials urged cities to gather as much urban tree data as possible to determine the ash tree population. Concerns emerged in September 2013 when the Emerald ash borer, an insect whose larvae feed on the inner bark of the tree, disrupting its ability to transport water and nutrients, was identified in Boulder. It subsequently devastated their ash population and led to a quarantine on Boulder County restricting the transport of ash wood into or out of the area. In response, Williams wants to ensure Monument has a wide variety of trees to combat a potential mass devastation due to any sort of disease or infestation. “It’s not a matter of if, but when, the ash borer will hit any of our communities in Colorado,” she said. Colorado is the 27th state and the first western state to feel the effects of the infestation. As tree data is gathered, it will be entered into a statewide database, giving a comprehensive picture of the state’s arbor assets. More projects on Williams’ plate include revitalizing the beds in the Monument Cemetery and along Third Street, creating new planters along Second Street, and sprucing up Limbach and Lavelett parks. Williams points out, “This is a combined effort among the Public Works department
Sharon Williams, the Town Gardener, maintains planting beds and shrubs around town-owned buildings and properties. Photo by Jennifer Cunningham personnel when it comes to landscape maintenance of Town of Monument properties. All of us assist and observe for each other.” The Parks Foreman oversees irrigation, turf and tree trimming, snow removal and more. In addition to the above, Williams is responsible for 16 beds, forty barrel planters, and trimming shrubs throughout the community.

Staff report
The Air Force Office of Special Investigations is investigating the death of an Air Force Academy cadet who died Thursday, April 2. Cadet 1st Class Alexandre Quiros, 21, assigned to Cadet Squadron 31, from Colorado Springs, was found with injuries in his dormitory room and pronounced dead at the scene at 3:43 p.m. The cause of death is not known at this time. The next of kin have been notified. Cadet Quiros was a senior majorQuiros ing in astronautical engineering. He made the dean’s list (grade point average of 3.0 or higher) and commandant’s list (cadets with military performance averages of 3.0 or higher) multiple times. “Our deepest sympathies and sincere condolences go out to the family and friends of Cadet Quiros. Yesterday, we lost a member of our Air Force Academy family, and it’s a loss felt across our entire institution,” said Lt. Gen. Michelle Johnson, Air Force Academy superintendent. “Right now, our focus is on providing all possible support to the friends and loved ones of our fallen airman.” Funeral arrangements are underway. The cadet was attended to by emergency medical personnel as soon as he was discovered in his dorm room with injuries. “The Academy family is deeply saddened by the death of one of our own,” Johnson said in a statement. “Our heart-felt condolences go out to the family and friends of the cadet. Our Air Force family is grieving this loss, and we are committed to helping the family through this extremely difficult time.” Academy public affairs officer John Van Winkle said more information will be released as it becomes available. Winkle added that the academy canceled evening activities and was trying to determine the whereabouts of all 4,000 cadets on the campus.
Plans submitted for water park at InterQuest Marketplace Old Renaissance Hotel, started in 2007, would also be completed By Danny Summers
dsummers@coloradocommunitymedia.com One water park and hotel has been in the planning stages for years at Polaris Pointe (formerly Copper Ridge at North Gate). But less than two miles south another hotel and water park is also being planned. Great Wolf Resorts Holdings, Inc, a Wisconsin owner and operator of water parks, plans to complete the partially finished Renaissance Hotel (which shut down construction more than five years ago) and build an adjacent water park at the InterQuest Marketplace, according to a proposal submitted in early March to Colorado Springs city planners. InterQuest marketplace is located near Interstate 25 and InterQuest Parkway. According to the proposal, Great Wolf resorts would complete the 300-plus room hotel. The project would be renamed the Great Wolf Lodge at InterQuest Marketplace, according to the proposal. Construction on the Renaissance Hotel originally began in 2007. John Q. Hammons, the late Missouri hotel developer, was forced to stop construction two years later when he couldn’t come up with additional funding. The hotel has been boarded up ever since. There are signs around the entrance of the hotel warning trespassers to stay away.
The 20-acre Renaissance Hotel site is next to the InterQuest Marketplace retail complex. The complex is home to a 14-screen Regal movie theater complex, a Brunswick Zone XL entertainment center, Cheddar’s Casual Cafe and Colorado Mountain Brewery, and a Kum & Go. A 180-room Drury Inn and Suites is expected to open at the complex in June. According to Polaris Pointe developer Gary Erickson, his company plans to break ground in May for the Colorado Grand Resort and Hotel that would feature a water park. Erickson originally announced his plans for a water park in 2012. The Colorado Grand Resort and Hotel will have 165 rooms — in its first phase — and a 60,000-square-foot, 10-slide indoor water park. Erickson estimates the project will cost $50 million to $60 million. The second phase would include another 165 to 200 rooms. Two other water parks are also in the early planning stages in northern and southern Colorado. A water park is expected to be built in Loveland as part of Larimer County’s recently submitted application to the state for Regional Tourism Act funding. Wisconsin-based Resort Development Group LLC is seeking to build a nearly 150,000-square-foot indoor water park near the Budweiser Events Center. As part of its expansion of the Historic Arkansas Riverwalk of Pueblo, the city plans to build a water park and aquatics center in the downtown area.

Commission has approved the request, the trustees normally follow suit. The busyness of the town is also Pesicka’s greatest challenge. He admits keeping packages on track and coordinating with more than twenty referral agencies allowed review
and comment can be time consuming. It limits resources available to tackle the department’s many additional responsibilities like code review, town project oversight and general community engagement. Pesicka said everyone’s concerns are important. “There are no stupid questions. We can’t work in a vacuum and appreciate attendance and comments.” For questions or more information, Pesicka can be reached at mpesicka@tomgov.org.

Drury Inn and Suites expected to open in June Construction crews working at vigorous pace By Danny Summers
dsummers @coloradocommunitymedia.com Construction on the new seven-story Drury Inn and Suites, located at Interstate 25 and InterQuest Parkway, is moving right along. Crews are working vigorously to meet June’s grand opening deadline. The hotel’s website states that it is currently accepting reservations for arrival June 15 and beyond. The new Drury Inn and Suites is located on four acres and will have 180 rooms. Among the amenities are free HBO; flat panel LCD televisions in every room; free
parking; free in-room coffee service; 24hour business center; 24-hour fitness center; indoor/outdoor pool and whirlpool; and microwaves and refrigerators in all rooms. The new Drury Inn and Suites won’t have a restaurant, meeting space and other amenities associated with a full-service hotel. The St. Louis-based Drury Inns began work on the new hotel, located at Marketplace shopping center, in February 2014. The new hotel will join a 14-screen Regal movie theater complex, a Brunswick Zone XL entertainment center, Cheddar’s Casual Cafe, Colorado Mountain Brewery and a Kum & Go convenience store at InterQuest Marketplace. Drury completed acquisition of the site from InterQuest Marketplace developer Nor’wood Development Group of Colorado Springs, according to El Paso County records.

OPINION
April 8, 2015

Suffering from a crazed sort of meanness Some places in this world suffer from a crazed sort of meanness – violence, if you will. I have felt it in some parts of Nebraska, Nevada, areas in California, but maybe only in one locale in Colorado. To put a name to it — we might call it many things. Chunks of emptiness carry names like Cajon Canyon, McElmo, Hovenweep, the lower Dolores watershed, the Paradox Valley, Outlaw Trail, and (appropriately enough) Disappointment. The vast stretches of canyons and mesas run up the edges of Colorado and Utah. It is remote, water-challenged, and easy to get lost and stay lost there. Even the rivers sometimes run the wrong way. I, along with a lot of others, thought of that crazed meanness the day Dale Claxton was murdered. On May 29, 1998 Cortez police officer Claxton was following a water truck that turned out later to be stolen. He had already radioed for backup when the truck pulled over on the edge of city limits and at least one of the three men inside jumped out with a SKS 7.62 mm assault rifle and began firing, eventually unloading the 30 round clip at least once into the squad car and Claxton. The officer was hit 18 times. The three men immediately ditched the water truck and acquired by gunpoint a flatbed truck leading law enforcement on an intense chase and series of gun battles out into the canyon and mesa country along the Colorado and Utah border. Before the rampage had ended, two Montezuma County deputies had been wounded, over 300 officers from four states and the National Guard had enlisted in the chase and search. Police eventually identified three suspects that they were looking for. Alan Pilon, Jason Wayne McVean and Robert Mathew Mason residence yielded evidence the three had practiced as weekend warriors and survivalists in nearby areas. Pilon actually grew up not too far from there near the town of Dove Creek. In June, another shooting occurred involving a San Juan County, Utah, deputy Kelly Bradford, who was shot twice responding to reports of shots being fired at social worker in a remote Utah area. A new manhunt ensued and Robert Mathew Mason’s body was eventually found in that area, dead from what authorities at the
time described as a self-inflicted gunshot administered shortly after the exchange with Bradford. Alan Pilon’s body was discovered nearly 16 months later by a group of hunters in the same general area on the Colorado side of the border. A long-time friend of mine from that area, whose opinion I trust, doesn’t believe either Mason or Pilon took their own life. “I have followed up with the cowboys that have grazing permits in that area,” he said, and he had somewhat of a role in the search. “Two points from your blog: Why a water tanker? And Mason did not kill himself...the exceptionally well qualified Medical Examiner in Salt Lake that did the post mortem reported the fatal injuries could not have been self inflicted. (Pilon either, for that matter.)” My friend suggested I read Dan Schultz’s well-received 2013 book on the subject “Dead Run.” I did so, and the author puts together a pretty good case. “Pilon was overweight, out of shape, unhealthy and injured. But he had contacts with various militias, constitutionalists and knew explosives, as they all did. (Their reading material was fascinating also.),” noted my friend in his observations and read of the book. “I don’t think there is any doubt that McVean killed Pilon and the evidence on scene supported that. Mason is another matter. McVean might have gotten him also, but there is evidence he was killed by a third party or parties. There was reports of a sighting of a boat with two unidentified people in it. Law enforcement may have done curb-side justice, but there were too many players out there to keep that quiet. What is unofficial, but confirmed, is that he didn’t shoot himself as Sheriff Lacy insisted and Mason’s mother agrees. Mason had significant damage to
his groin that he surely didn’t do to himself. There is no doubt that McVean had help after the fact; the Navajo Police documented that, but they were all discounted by (San Juan County, Utah Sheriff Mike) Lacy. “ Folklore of the area (and Schultz’s book) has the final fugitive and murderer living long past the suggested death a few days after the murder. Longtime cowboy Eric Bayles in San Juan County, Utah finally discovered Jason Wayne McVean’s body, on June 10, 2007. “Teams of deputies and police officers searched the area and found a rusted AK-47 rifle with magazines holding about 500 rounds of ammunition, five pipe bombs, several bottles with water still in them, some survival food, a jacket, a hat, camouflage gear, amber-colored glasses, a watch that stopped at 6:35 on May 30, 1998 and most importantly, parts of a human skeleton including pieces of a skull and a jawbone with teeth,” according to Hal Mansfield in a June, 2007, article for Crime Magazine. “The remains turned out to be those of Jason Wayne McVean, one of three fugitives sought for the murder of Cortez, Colo. Police Officer Dale Claxton,” wrote Mansfield. But some don’t buy the timing. “McVean’s skull has significant damage ... was it after death or cause of death?” And what were they planning? “Yes, it was a 10-wheel water tanker stolen in LaPlata. There is a period of time from the theft until Dale’s murder that cannot be accounted for. Why a tanker? Why the short ladder on the truck? Why did they not shoot at civilians, only law enforcement? What was in the metal drums they were seen with in Grand Gulch? That said ... what would make a better large directional bomb than a water truck parked so that the weaker end was aimed at a target ... like Glen Canyon dam? Oklahoma City showed what a truck bomb could do.” “Just musing of an old man, late at night, Rob. May something like that never happen again, but it will.” Still, no one really knows what kind of crazed meanness possessed the three outlaws who killed Officer Claxton. I guess the answers are like everything else out there in the dry, wind-swept canyons, mesas and draws. As I think I mentioned, it is easy to get lost, and stay lost, out there.
Cockrell makes his splash in the Big Apple For a guy who played in just nine major leagues, Alan Cockrell has had quite a baseball career. A long-time resident of The Broadmoor area, Cockrell is beginning his first season as assistant hitting coach for the New York Yankees. It is Cockrell’s big splash back into professional baseball since he was fired as Seattle’s hitting coach in 2010. The 52-year-old Cockrell served as the Arizona Diamondbacks’ roving hitting coordinator from 2011-13. He also was a part-time assistant coach for his daughter’s Cheyenne Mountain High School softball and travel teams. I first got to know “Ace” - as he is more commonly called in baseball circles — when I was the beat writer for the Colorado Springs Sky Sox in the early 2000s. He was the Rockies’ roving hitting instructor. In the those days Cockrell was still developing his craft as hitting coach when he got the call to become the Rockies’ interim hitting coach in 2002 after Buddy Bell was fired as manager of the Rockies. Then Rockies’ hitting coach Clint Hurdle was promoted to manager. Cockrell was back in Colorado Springs as hitting coach of the Triple-A team in 2003 and remained with the club through 2006. Along the way he made some major changes in his personal life and concentrated on spending more time enjoying time with his wife, Tameson, and their four children.
Cockrell’s change in lifestyle led to better opportunities as a hitting coach. He was hired as the Rockies’ full-time hitting coach in 2007. That fall the club played in its first World Series as it completed an amazing September and October run through the final month of the regular season and playoffs. Cockrell was let go by the Rockies following the 2008 season, but he was hired by Seattle in 2009. Two seasons later, he and the Mariners parted ways. That’s when he was hired by the Diamondbacks. Cockrell’s role with the Yankees is as more of a listener. The Yankees primary hitting coach is 68-year-old Jeff Pentland. “I’m here to assist Pent,” Cockrell said. “In a nutshell, that’s what I’ll do. We have like philosophies. That’s pretty much it. “We’ve talked about (splitting video research duties). I’ll do some. He’ll do some. We’ll split some cage duties. It’s kind of turned into a two-man job, really, over the
last five or six years.” Cockrell is about a million miles away from where he started. He attended the University of Tennessee, where he was an All-American baseball player. He was named to Tennessee’s All-Century Team in 2009. He was also the Volunteers’ starting quarterback for two seasons (1982 and `83) and helped led the Vols to a Citrus Bowl victory in 1983. He was the first-ever true freshman to start at quarterback at Tennessee before having season-ending knee surgery. Interestingly, two of the Tennessee quarterbacks that followed Cockrell in the next decade were former Rockies first baseman Todd Helton and current Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning. Cockrell graduated from Parkwood High School in Joplin, Missouri, in 1981, where he played baseball, basketball and football. He was the first-round pick (ninth selection overall) of the San Francisco Giants in the 1984 amateur baseball draft and was thought to be a star in the making. He didn’t reach the major leagues for 13 seasons (including several with the Sky Sox), and then had just a proverbial cup of coffee in “The Show” before going into coaching. As a minor league outfielder, Cockrell played in 1,414 career games from 1984-96 and batted .278 (1,322-for-4,760). He made his major league debut with the Rockies Summers continues on Page 7

deep snow. On the highway the crew at Glen Cove, about half way up, were rescued at about the same time. When these people were brought down that ended the year’s visitors to Pikes Peak until the Adaman climb at New Years. I see that they are looking at building a new Summit House on the mountain. The story of the buildings up there has been told here before, but, yes they need a better building. The present building was opened more than 50 years ago, and was designed to serve about a thousand people a day. That was ideal at the time, but now on a really good day there will be three times that many in the summer. On the Pikes Peak Assent day about 10 years ago some 2,000 people were stranded in a storm and only about half could even get in the building! It was a mess. All the facilities at the top need attention. Then there is the car race. The car race was originally on Labor Day in September. It was moved to near July 4th, because of the unpredictable weather, which unfortunately even happens in July!

No, this is not the first time this happened, nor the first time I have seen the story. It still happens, and it still makes news. It is fun because I was with the cog railway on Pikes Peak when they started going up year round. They have quiet, mild winters, and they have wild, nasty winters. I have seen amazing times on the mountain, but it is in the late summer that it can change in an instant. It even happens in the middle of the summer Sometimes that gets on national news. This was in October 1928 when nearly a half dozen people — the summit house staff — was isolated on the mountain. If you have been here long you know we can get some nasty storms in October or November. They try to get the most out of trips up there every year, and when the first storm hits, that is when it was usually closed. Once this storm was over, rescue of the crews up there were started. As can often happen, the weather on various parts of the peak can be quite different. In this storm, the north side got hit hard. Both the highway and the railroad were being operated by Spencer Penrose. The cog railway crews and the road crews started up clearing snow. Usually the road went faster than the railroad, but this storm found only a little snow on the railway. A rescue train reached the summit after the two day storm with few problems. Several drifts required time digging out, but no really

Lewis-Palmer alumnus and Monument resident Miguel Dakota is making some good noise in the world of music. Less than a year ago he was working in construction. Courtesy photos
Catch Dakota and his band on tour Lewis-Palmer alum performed at the Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC home opener April 4 By Danny Summers
dsummers@coloradocommunitymedia. com A year ago, Miguel Dakota was hardly a blip on the music and entertainment industry’s radar screen. Today, the Monument resident is a rising star. Dakota is on tour, playing in just about any size venue that will host him and his band, The Differents. Dakota and The Differents are all Lewis-Palmer High School alums. “This is all a growing thing,” said Dakota, whose real last name is Nadal. “I just want to be connected to the music industry.” Dakota became very well connected with the music and entertainment world last summer when he was a finalist on the hit television show America’s Got Talent. During the show’s finale, he played on stage at Radio City Music Hall with rock legend Lenny Kravitz. “That was an incredible experience,” Dakota said. Dakota, 23, is a 2010 Lewis-Palmer graduate. He released his first album, “Love & Freedom” on Feb. 14 and quickly scheduled a rigorous tour that has kept him and his band mates busy. He co-wrote many of the songs with fellow Lewis-Palmer alum Ryan Wagner, the band’s backup vocalist/guitarist. Other members of The Differents (formerly Spiral Lion) include bassist Ryan Martin and drummers Brian Nolan. “It’s been very different working with a band now, but we will be playing as a band from now on,” Dakota said. “Since it was
Miguel, second from right, is pictured here with his band, The Differents. The members of his band include Ryan Wagner (backup vocalist, guitarist), Ryan Martin (bassist) and Brian Nolan (drummer). They were all classmates at Lewis-Palmer High School. new to me, we flipped things around a lot during the recording. We just added things to the record as we went along and it came out great.” Love & Freedom is available on iTunes and at MiguelDakota.net. “Love is true when it is spread without bias or motive; spread love, be free,” Dakota said. Dakota performed on AGT several times, but it was his rendition of the Beatles’ Classic “Come Together” that caused a major stir among the shows judges and executive producer Simon Cowell.
Cowell gave Dakota high praise after his first performance when he tweeted that Dakota “ ... was destined for stardom.” Dakota’s sound is infectious and up-lifting. His band’s music draws on the soulful sounds of the funk and blues rock of the 1970s and adds in meaningful and storied lyrics; all while maintaining a modern feel. Two weeks ago, Dakota and The Differents played in Stockton, Calif. Last week they played Herman’s Hideaway in Denver. On April 4, they performed at the Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC home opener. Dakota owes his success to hard work
and never giving up on his musical dream, despite setbacks. He also is thankful for the opportunity AGT gave him to provide him a platform for his music. “My experience on AGT was completely incredible,” Dakota said. “It was nerveracking, but I loved it. I loved everything about it and I really loved being in New York.” Even though Dakota did not win AGT, his star power offered him the chance to go on tour with the other finalists, performing a show at the Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas last fall. In between, he did a show at TriLakes Center for the Arts and performed an impromptu mini concert during a LewisPalmer High School assembly that celebrated homecoming week. He even took a ride around the Don Breese Stadium track during the homecoming football game ceremonies. Over the last few months, Dakota and his band have also done shows in Cripple Creek and at the Pikes Peak Center in Colorado Springs. Dakota has had a love for music since a young age. His first encounters with music came from his parents who took him to the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival when he was just 10 days old. The festival celebrated the music of B.B. King, Aretha Franklin and Eric Clapton and left a lasting impact on Dakota’s heart for music. Dakota received his first guitar at age 11 and soon began learning to play and write music. “Ever since then, I’ve been in love with music and just how you can evoke emotion through music and connect with a crowd,” he said. Dakota has more than 38,000 followers on Twitter. “Love takes time. Success takes time. That is why they are worth it,” Dakota recently tweeted. There are a lot of people excited to see what becomes of the Tri-Lakes star as time moves on.

Tri-Lakes women’s club bake sale set
Many guests stop by The Bakery first and pick out their favorites and put them on hold while they shop the rest of the exciting show. Courtesy photos
For the Tribune Each year in the spring, the Tri-Lakes Women’s Club hosts the Pine Forest Antiques, Home Décor and Garden Show & Sale at Lewis Palmer High School. The name has changed this year to Pine Forest Spring Show. This sale is one of two big fundraisers for the club that grants thousands of dollars each year to the Tri-Lakes community. The show features beautiful antiques, a home décor area, and a great selection of plants to buy from vendors and The Bakery. Many guests stop by The Bakery first and pick out their favorites and put them on hold while they shop the rest of the show. The members of the club have made the sale so special not only because of the items they bake, but also the tradition to place the baked goods on beautiful plates, in decorated boxes, or in baskets. Members hunt all year for beautiful oneof-a-kind plates or other ways to display their baked goods. The club is known for its lavish displays of beautiful, delicious baked goods, candies and other treats that are decorated like special gifts. Last year, 575 recipes of baked goods were made by more than 100 of the mem-
bers of the club. The baked goods include a variety of cakes, fruit and pecan pies, cookies of all kinds, and lots of candies, bars and breads to choose from. An unusual hot seller that will be available again is the biscotti made by one of the members. Another member is known for her fudge that uses three different chocolates and is a family recipe. All items are labeled for any allergens or special ingredients. To help buyers with special diets, there will be a table that features gluten free and sugar-free items so all can enjoy something from the sale. This year, the bake sale will offer more of the 6-inch cakes and smaller pies to meet the needs of our customers who have requested smaller portions. A special subcommittee called the Baker’s Dozen ensures the sale has the pies and cakes and that the customers are looking for throughout the weekend. If the sale needs more pies, these ladies bake more on Saturday night to be sure the Sunday customers are not disappointed. They also help supply the sale with the gluten free and sugar free items that require unusual ingredients to bake.

New CSHP facility now open Urgent care patients being seen at Jackson Creek Parkway location For the Tribune Colorado Springs Health Partners’ new Monument facility on Jackson Creek Parkway is now open to family practice patients and will begin seeing Urgent Care patients on April 6. Drs. John Voth and Melissa Devalon, CSHP Family Practice physicians, have relocated from CSHP’s previous location on Deer Creek Road to the brand new 15,800 square foot facility located at 15909 Jackson Creek Parkway. CSHP broke ground on the building in June 2014, which they celebrated with next door neighbors Discover Goodwill, who opened their doors in January. CSHP’s new building has 26 exams rooms and utilizes a geothermal heating and cooling system. This system uses ground source energy — a geothermal heat pump technology that relies on the sun to heat the ground at the earth’s surface — which reduces the carbon footprint. Beginning April 6, the new facility will also house Urgent Care, adding to the walk-in lab and X-Ray services already available. This will be CSHP’s third Urgent Care location, including one centrally located at Medical Center Point and another located at 21st street and Highway 24 on the West side of Colorado Springs. The Monument location will also offer services from several CSHP specialists including Dermatology, Podiatry, and Otolaryngology (ENT — ear, nose and throat). CSHP will host a ribbon cutting and open house, in conjunction with the Tri Lakes Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday, April 28, from 5:30 to 7 p.m., to celebrate the new location. All are welcome.

BUSINESS BUZZ Business helps seniors record memories
Jenine K. Holtz Dobie is founder of Senior Moments, LLC, a new business to help seniors record their memories for future generations. “It is devastating to see someone leave this world, taking their legacy with them. I find it exceedingly important for future generations to know where they came from and how our loved ones arrived at that point,” Dobie said “Our company meets with Seniors to help them capture their memories, through audio and/or video, plus we can transcribe the audio version into a notebook format. It is priceless for families to be able to see and hear their loved ones voices for years to come. It is exceedingly important to know and appreciate our roots and how far we have all come, to where we are currently.”

dsummers @coloradocommunitymedia.com The final of two Colorado High School Activities Association Legislative Council Meetings is scheduled for April 16 at the
Radisson Hotel/Red Lion Inn in Aurora. The meeting will be at 8:30 a.m. The CHSAA Board of Directors will meet April 15 in advance of the meeting. The CHSAA Legislative Council is the body that determines the rules for the student participants in the state of Colorado. Its 75 members represent all the individual athletic conferences, along with representatives from the Colorado Association of School Boards, Colorado Athletic Directors Association and Colorado Association of Secondary School Administrators.
The council will be voting on 10 sports proposals. There were no constitutional or administrative proposals submitted. The council will also vote on four administrative committee reports, two activities committee reports and eight sport committee reports. Additionally, the group will consider amendments to the Classification and League Organizing Committee, Baseball and Volleyball committee reports previously passed in January. The Legislative Council will vote on nominations to replace
members on the CHSAA Board of Directors and for President of the Board of Directors. All proposals and committee reports that will be voted on can be found on the CHSAA website (http://chsaanow.com/2015-0319/april-2015-legislative-council-meetingagenda-proposals-information/) under School Info. Also on the CHSAA website is information on 2015-16 school year championship dates, times and locations for the various CHSSAA sanctioned sports.
Hash explosions prompt proposed changes By Kristen Wyatt and Gene Johnson Associated Press
Alarmed by a rash of explosions and injuries caused when amateurs make hash, lawmakers in Colorado and Washington are considering spelling out what’s allowed when it comes to making the concentrated marijuana at home. The proposals came after an increase in home fires and blasts linked to homemade hash, concentrated marijuana that can be inhaled or eaten. In Colorado, at least 30 people were injured last year in 32 butane explosions involving hash oil — nearly three times the number reported throughout 2013, according to officials with the Rocky Mountain High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area, a state-federal enforcement program. Washington’s legal marijuana law in 2012 did not permit the production of hash or even edibles at home; it technically remains a felony even to use weed purchased at a state-licensed store to make brownies. Nevertheless, many people have done it. Federal prosecutors in Seattle have brought charges in five cases where hashoil operations blew up, including at one apartment complex where an 87-year-old former mayor of Bellevue died after sustaining an injury while trying to escape a fire that started in another unit. People make hash oil at home for the
same reasons they make beer, wine or booze — to save money, make it to personal taste, or as a hobby. Though there are safer methods, such as soaking marijuana in a vegetable-based glycerin, one common practice is to force a solvent such as butane or propane gas or liquid through leafy cannabis, a process that separates its psychoactive material from buds, leaves and stems. After the extraction, the hash-maker then releases the gas or boils off the liquid, leaving behind marijuana’s psychoactive material in a potent goop. The resulting product — called hash oil or shatter or wax in even more concentrated form — can be added to foods without the grassy taste raw pot imparts. Without proper ventilation, though, the gases can pool in a room, where a spark from an appliance can trigger a severe explosion, knocking buildings off their foundation in some cases. Washington lawmakers are proposing to allow limited home hash production, though butane or other explosive gases would be banned except for use by commercial producers. Safer methods would be OK, and adults would be allowed to use cooking oil, butter or similar substances to make edibles. “We have a little problem here with people blowing themselves up,” said Washington state Sen. Ann Rivers, the Republican
sponsor of that state’s measure. “Anything we can do to stop that from happening.’’ In Colorado, where hash regulations vary by jurisdiction, a bill up for its first vote next week in a House committee would establish a similar ban on the use of explosive gases to make hash. “People who make it at home, they can do so with alcohol or methods that are safe,” said Colorado state Rep. Yeulin Willett, a sponsor of the bill. Colorado’s largest jurisdiction, Denver, banned some types of home hash production late last year. A similar ban is under discussion in Aurora. But some marijuana activists argue that when pot is legal, concentrating it at home should be legal, too. They compare the hash explosions to fires caused by turkey fryers and call it a problem with a new product that is best addressed by consumer education. “Sure, there have been numerous dangerous explosions and fires from idiots who are determined to blow themselves up participating in activities which need considerable safety precautions,” said Timothy Tipton of the Rocky Mountain Caregivers Cooperative. Tipton insisted that butane extraction is perfectly safe with proper ventilation or when done outside. Supporters of home production also say Colorado’s law is on their side. The state’s

marijuana legalization measure specifically included concentrated marijuana and all its production methods. Just last month, the Denver district attorney dropped a case against a man facing felony charges of manufacturing marijuana concentrate and fourth-degree arson. The man, Paul Mannaioni, was charged last year after a hash oil explosion sent him and two other people to a hospital. Mannaioni challenged the legality of Denver’s hash oil ban, prompting Colorado’s former attorney general to say the marijuana amendment allows limits on home production. The charges were later dismissed after prosecutors said they couldn’t tie him to the explosion beyond a reasonable doubt, leaving the legality of the city’s hash oil ban unresolved. Some marijuana advocates said a statewide ban would invite more legal challenges. “It’s a patient’s right to make their medicine,” said Jason Warf of the Southern Colorado Cannabis Council. But Colorado lawmakers backing the homemade limits said the state should err on the side of caution. “This is something we need to nip in the bud,” Willett said.
SALOME’S STARS FOR RELEASE WEEK OF APRIL 6, 2015
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might be upset about having to deal with problems that are no fault of your own. But you can turn the annoyance into an asset by showing how quickly and how well you can resolve them. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The Bovine’s fondness for tidiness pays off when you untangle a situation that seems hopelessly snarled. You might later be surprised to learn who will be expressing his or her gratitude. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Although you can tackle your assignment the way you prefer, it might be a good idea to at least ask for suggestions. Who knows? One or two might even turn out to be helpful.

GALLERY OF GAMES
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Make all the changes in your plans or proposals that you feel are necessary before -- repeat, before -- you submit them to your colleagues. You’ll come off looking more decisive that way. LEO (July 23 to August 22) You might feel a mite intimidated in a new environment, be it a job, a classroom or meeting the future in-laws. But enter with a big smile, and everyone will see you as a real take-charge Cat. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) This could be a romantic time for you if you can set aside your cynicism and let yourself believe that someone really cares. If you’re already in a relationship, expect your partner to be extra-loving. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) It’s a good time to shed any doubts about your abilities. You’ve proved yourself in the past, so why not accept that you’ll do just as well, or better, in dealing with the new challenge ahead? SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your suspicions might be on the mark, but unless you can prove what you assume, you need to exercise that Scorpion discretion and let events unfold without your assistance. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Be careful not to go over the top this week. Avoid overeating (especially of the wrong foods), or drinking too much, or working too hard. You can do it all, but in moderation. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A family matter is given to you to resolve because you have the gift for bringing quarrelsome kinfolk together. But while you’re playing Dr. Phil, don’t neglect your career obligations. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Someone of importance shares your goals but disagrees with your plan to achieve them. Never mind. Defending your methods with logic and facts earns you admiration and respect. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Consider getting away, perhaps for the weekend, despite all the demands made on your time and energies. You’ll return refreshed and ready to tackle it all with your usual finesse. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a sense of honesty that makes people believe and trust in you. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

Lewis Palmer ace pitchers, junior Paul Tillotson, left, and senior Colin Cicere Photo by Danny Summers
Rangers have a pair of pitching aces Lewis-Palmer senior Colin Cicere and junior Paul Tillotson are posting staggering numbers By Danny Summers
dsummers@coloradocommunitymedia.com When most high school baseball teams are fortunate to have one ace pitcher, Lewis-Palmer boasts a pair of righthanders that usually dominates the competition. Senior Colin Cicere and junior Paul Tillotson are two very important cogs in the mighty Rangers machine that have owned Class 4A baseball in Colorado Springs the last two seasons. “They are both great kids and they work real hard,” said Lewis-Palmer coach Tom McCabe. “They’re not as good as they are because they don’t work. They follow instructions and they make the small corrections after every pitch they need to make to be successful.” Cicere (6-foot, 145 pounds soaking wet), signed his national letter of intent in February with Indian Hills Community College in Ottumwa, Iowa. Tillotson (6-2, a solid 205) gave his verbal commitment to the University of Nebraska in February. “My dream has always been to play major league baseball,” Cicere said. “I’m hoping to put on a lot of weight in college and see what happens with my career.” While Cicere may give away 60 pounds and a few mph on his fastball to Tillotson - Cicere has topped out at 85 compared to Tillotson’s high of 92 - he is every bit a gamer as any player in the Pikes Peak Athletic Conference. On March 31, Cicere took the mound against Sand Creek with a 101 degree temperature and proceeded to hurl a complete-game four-hitter. He struck out eight and walked four while tossing 109 pitches in the 9-1 Rangers’ victory. “When I got home that night my temperature was 103,” Cicere said. “Coach needed me to pitch so I went out there
and did my job.” McCabe was not aware that Cicere was feeling under the weather. “If I knew that I wouldn’t have sent him out there,” McCabe said. “But that’s the kind of kid Colin is. He`ll do anything to help the team.” Cicere, a guard on the school’s basketball team, has played varsity baseball since his freshman year. He posted modest numbers his first two seasons, but had a breakout junior campaign when he was 8-0 with a 0.69 ERA. He used his wild whipping motion to strike out 68 batters and walk just 15 in 51 innings. “I used to get mad at myself on the mound a lot,” said Cicere, whose favorite pitch is a changeup he learned over the summer. “I’ve tried to calm myself down and I think that has helped make a difference in the way I pitch.” Cicere more than held his own at the plate last season as the Rangers raced to a 14-0 league mark. He batted .456 with 21 RBIs. Tillotson is a power pitcher who is not afraid to go after hitters with his heater. He also throws a hard curveball and split finger changeup that looks like a fastball when it leaves his hand, but has the slow spin of a knuckleball by the time it reaches home plate and sinks. “I can’t go out there and try to blow guys away with fastballs every time,” said Tillotson, who threw a completegame two-hitter in a 10-3 Ranges’ victory over Falcon on April 4, striking out 11 in the process. Tillotson also played on varsity as a freshman. He had a terrific sophomore season when he went 6-1 with a 1.78 ERA, striking out 71 and walking 20 in 43 1/3 innings. He was even better with the bat, posting a gaudy .613 average with four home runs, nine doubles and 23 RBIs. Tillotson and Cicere were the dynamic duo in a key game against rival Palmer Ridge in 2014. Tillotson started on the mound and pitched into the seventh inning. He got one out, but two Bears runners reached base, so McCabe called time out and walked to the mound to have a chat
with his young protégé. “Paul wanted to finish it, but he looked at me and he told me straight up `I’m out of juice,’” McCabe said. “He could have tried to push through those two more outs, but he knew Cicere would come in and finish it off. That’s the kind of confidence they have in each other. “When you have players like that I think god things happen.” Tillotson may receive more accolades than Cicere - he was the PPAC Player of the Year in 2014 - but he has total confidence in his teammate. “I can rely on Colin,” Tillotson said. “He’s a solid pitcher. He knows what he’s doing out there. “Each of us will have our days when we pitch better. Each of us will have our off days.” The last two seasons the two Rangers aces have had very few off days. 5 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT Tillotson verbally committed to play baseball for the University of Nebraska in February. But a lot could happen between now and the June 2016 amateur baseball draft. Depending on if and which round Tillotson is drafted could play a role on him playing baseball in college. Cicere signed his national letter of intent with Indian Hills Community College in Iowa. Cicere hopes to use Indian Hills as a springboard to a 4-year college, or perhaps a shot at getting drafted by a major league team. In three-plus varsity seasons, Cicere has a 13-2 pitching record with 141 strikeouts and 53 walks in 126 1/3 innings. As a hitter he is batting .415 (39 for 94) with three triples, six doubles and 30 RBIs. In two-plus varsity seasons, Tillotson has a pitching record of 11-3 with 153 strikeouts and 42 walks in 94 2/3 innings. As a hitter he is batting .487 (55 for 113) with four home runs, two triples, 15 doubles and 28 RBIs. Since Cicere and Tillotson became the aces of the staff beginning with the 2014 season, the Rangers are a combined 23-6 overall, 17-0 in the PPAC.

Turner presented with ”Spirit of the Springs Award” Discovery Canyon Campus junior Sam Turner received award from Colorado Springs mayor Steve Bach By Danny Summers
dsummers@coloradocommunitymedia.com Discovery Canyon Campus junior Sam Turner won his second consecutive state wrestling championship in March at the Pepsi Center in Denver. On April 2, Colorado Springs mayor Steve Bach presented Turner with the prestigious “Spirit of the Springs Award” during a packed assembly in the DCC gymnasium. “It’s exciting to be able to represent my school with this award and I am happy to accept this award from the mayor,” said Turner, who is the first-ever Discovery canyon student to win the mayor’s Spirit of the Springs Award. “All my coaches have helped me along the way and they have made me the wrestler I am today.” Turner, who finished second at state as a freshman, will soon turn his attention to winning another state title his senior season. “I’m just enjoying the moment right now,” said Turner, whose older brother, Steve, wrestles for the Air Force Academy. Over the course of the last four years, Bach has presented more than 155 Spirit of the Springs Awards to people of all walks of life in the Pikes Peak region. “There is all kinds of news out there every day, but it’s not necessarily good news,” said Bach, who was accompanied by his wife, Suzi. “There are so many good things going on in our community. So many amazing things that bring great pride; not only to individuals, but the organizations they represent. We want to celebrate those successes. “We’ve certainly recognized athletes like Sam. We’ve also recognized high achievements academically. All groups of people.” To learn more about the mayor’s Spirit of the Springs Award go to www.bachsoffice.com and look for Building a Better Tomorrow. You will see a list of every Spirit of the Springs Award winner. “Sam has great pride, not only to his family and his school, but to the entire community,” Bach said. “We wanted to come out and pay tribute to Sam and his coach. They’ve done a great job.” Academy District 20 superintendent Mark Hatchell was also on hand for the event. “The mayor has been out to our district a number of times in the past couple of years to celebrate students that have done outstanding things and we really appreciate him doing it,” Hatchell said. “Whenever the mayor is here to give one of these things I try to show up and be supportive of our students and of the mayor. We are really appreciative of his efforts to celebrate the successes of our students and staff.” Discovery Canyon wrestling coach Ron Sukle was recognized during the assembly for being named the Class 4A Pikes Peak Athletic Conference Coach of the Year. Sukle praised his

He added that Turner winning the Spirit of the Springs Award was a great honor. “This award that Sam won is great for our team and our school,” said Sukle, who has coach seven individual state champions in his eight years at the school. “It’s awesome. It’s a great accomplishment. It says a lot about what he’s done and what we’ve done here.” Turner’s father, Steve - a graduate of both Air Academy High School and the Air Force Academy - said he was happy for his son’s success. “Sam has been wrestling since he was four years old and I am very proud of him,” said Steve, a former wrestler in high school and at the Air Force Academy, and long-time pilot. “He’s put in a lot of hard work. “You can’t take a state wrestling title for granted. It’s precious. Every championship is special. It takes a perfect storm to win a state championship because a lot of bad things can
happen along the way. You can get hurt. You can get sick. Anything can happen.” Steve Turner added that when his family moved back to TriLakes area six years ago they decided to buy a home in Gleneagle so that his kids could specifically attend Discovery Canyon Campus. “I was gone for 22 years and this place changed a little,” Steve Turner said with a laugh. “the only thing I recognized was Gleneagle.” Bach was the main attraction at the assembly that also recognized the accomplishments of other Discovery Canyon students. Discovery Canyon principal Jim Bailey asked students to stand up that participated in school athletics, all-state choir members, all-state band members, visual arts winners, student senate, academic letter winners, theater production, Principal’s Honor Roll and the Air Force Junior ROTC program. More than three-quarters of the one thousand students stood up to a rousing applause.

Bayaud Ave., Suite 390 Lakewood, CO 80228 (303) 679-8266 NOTICE OF ANTICIPATED EXPEDITED RELINQUISHMENT OF THE PARENT-CHILD LEGAL RELATIONSHIP TO: Matt (last name unknown), Respondent YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED, PURSUANT TO C.R.S. § 19-5-103.7, AS FOLLOWS: 1. You have been identified by Kierra Douglas as a possible birth father of her child, who has an anticipated birth date of May 19, 2015 in Colorado. 2. Ms. Douglas plans to relinquish her parental rights to the child on an expedited basis in the El Paso County District Court, State of Colorado, where the adoption agency has an office, pursuant to C.R.S. § 19-5-103.5 in order to make the child available for adoption. Placing a child for adoption requires termination of the birth mother and alleged birth father(s) parent-child legal relationships. Termination of parental rights means that pursuant to a court order, all rights powers, privileges, immunities, duties and obligations existing between a parent and a child are permanently severed, except for inheritance rights, which will be severed at the time of the final decree of adoption. Upon termination of parental rights, a parent shall: (a) no longer have the right to custody of, or parenting time with the child; (b) no longer have the right to any information concerning the whereabouts, activities, health, or well-being of the child; and (c) have no say in any further decisions concerning said child. 3. A birth parent of a child has the right to contest the termination of parental rights. 4. Failure to declare intent to contest the termination of parental rights may likely result in a termination of parental rights to the child. In order to contest the termination of the parent-child legal relationship, YOU MUST: • Request and then return a “Reply Form to Notice of Anticipated Expedited Relinquishment” to Adopt Triad Consultants at the above address or to Grob & Eirich, LLC, 12596 W. Bayaud Ave., Suite 390 Lakewood, CO 80228 by Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested, no later than twenty-one (21) days after the date of this notice or before the birth mother’s relinquishment petition is filed with the court, whichever occurs later.
