LPES second-grade students meet pen pals Kids finally meet after writing for a year By Lisa Collacott
lcollacott@ourcoloradonews.com In a day and age when most communication is done via email and text, one Lewis-Palmer Elementary teacher wants to make sure her students know the art of letter writing. Kris Scarsbrook and Michelle Miller’s second-grade classes started a year-long pen pal project in September. Students have been writing back and forth to students at Bear Creek Elementary School and on May 15 the students finally met face-to-face. “I thought it was awesome. We exchanged addresses and we are going to have a play date this summer,” Raleigh
Eversole said. “I thought having a pen pal was really fun,” added Bella Cox. Scarsbrook said her and Miller did the assignment to give the children real life writing experience. “We wanted to teach them the format of letter writing,” Scarsbrook said. Students learned where to put the date, the greeting, how to end a letter, how to address an envelope and where the stamp goes. They drew their stamps on the letters and wrote the price of the stamp as well. Scarsbrook said it was fun for the kids to see how the price of stamps goes up. “I think it’s fun doing it the old way,” Eversole said when asked whether he thinks letter writing is better than sending an email. Trey Hitmann said he had fun writ-
ing back and forth to his pen pal because they got to tell each other what they did over the weekend. Marya Nay said she had fun meeting her pen pal because they got to work on a craft together. Second-graders had a time of meet and greet, made windmills, had lunch and popsicles with their pen pals. The four students said they would like to keep in touch with their pen pals and would encourage everyone to have a pen pal. They would like to have pen pals in other states or countries. “It’s nice that this has encouraged them,” Scarsbrook said, adding that she started writing to a pen pal in Canada when she was young and they still keep in touch. Scarsbrook said when she gets a personal letter in the mail she is excited to open it and worries that letter writing is disappearing.
The town of Palmer Lake is forming a committee to look at state marijuana regulations and to decide whether or not to allow the sale of recreational marijuana within the town. Voters in Colorado passed Amendment 64 in November legalizing the possession, sale and use of marijuana for recreational purposes. The amendment also allows local municipalities to prohibit the cultivation, manufacturing, testing and sale of marijuana through an ordinance. The Palmer Lake town council would like to have citizen input before making a decision on whether or not to allow it. The town is looking for as many people as possible to be on the committee including residents, business owners and those in the medical marijuana industry. The town had previously put together a committee prior to approving medical marijuana. The town of Monument and El Paso County have already passed ordinances prohibiting the sale and open consumption of recreational marijuana. Those who are interested can contact Tara Berreth, town clerk, at 719481-2953.
Gleneagle Spirits of Spring fundraiser sees big increase Funds help local charities, Sertoma programs By Norma Engelberg
nengelberg@ourcoloradonews.com Gleneagle Sertoma Club members are calling the ninth annual Spirits of Spring Wine and Beer Tasting fundraiser for charity a complete success. “We had a record number of people in attendance and raised about 20 percent more than last year,” said Eric Emde, who served on the event-planning committee. There were almost 300 people in attendance and, while the final total has yet to be calculated, Todd Sherman, another committee member, said he hopes the total will top $15,000. The name “Sertoma” was created from POSTAL ADDRESS
the phrase “Service to Mankind,” which sums up the mission of Sertoma Clubs worldwide. Proceeds from the Spirits of Spring fundraiser directly benefit Home Front Cares, Pikes Peak Hospice and Tri-Lakes Cares. The Gleneagle Sertoma Club will also use part of the proceeds to help low-income people to receive low-cost audiologist services and hearing aids through the Sertoma HEARS program. The club also supports local Boy Scout troops, the Mission Medical Clinic, Salvation Army, hearing-impaired students, Aspen Camp for the Hearing Impaired and other local organizations. Event attendees participated in both a silent auction and a live auction as well as taking the opportunity to tryout a variety of wines and beers and sample specialties
Gleneagle Sertoma Club’s ninth annual Spirits of Spring Wine and Beer Tasting and Auction charity event at the ProRodeo Hall of Fame on May 4 was well attended as can be seen from this panorama photograph. Courtesy photo dishes provided by local restaurants. It was also an opportunity to learn

D-38 to change online curriculum Board hears first reading of plan By Lisa Collacott
lcollacott@ourcoloradonews.com The board of education heard the first reading of the online curriculum adoption at the most recent school board meeting. Dr. Lori Benton, director of assessment, gifted education and technology and Lewis-Palmer Middle School Principal Seann O’ Connor went before the board of education to request new online curriculum. The present online curriculum, Novel/Stars, was purchased seven years ago. “It was the best we could find for what our needs were at the time and our main focus was high school credit recovery and graduation requirements that we require
for incoming seniors that would be new to our district,” Benton said. Benton said that Novel/Stars will no longer be available after next year and is not meeting the current needs the district has. She said the need for online learning has expanded and their goals have changed so it was actually good timing that the curriculum was no longer available. The present curriculum also does not meet the needs of middle school and there’s a need for online curriculum for grades 5-12. O’Connor said one of the things he looked at when looking at curriculum for students at the middle school level was students who miss school for a long time. He said online tools provide a means of getting communication and education to the students so they can get caught up. He also looked at students who may be in special education and are in self-contained classrooms and who need curriculum delivered
to them for all core subject areas. “Sometimes the curriculum that they need isn’t always on grade level. Being able to get effective curriculum into the hands of teachers so that they can do the best thing they can for that child so that they can begin to learn and grow. The online product offers a lot of opportunity there,” O’Connor said. O’Connor also said they are looking at remedial instruction to augment the curriculum for students who are struggling in class and he hopes to create a summer school for students to rekindle the love of learning and the online curriculum will help in this area. Benton said the high school need is no longer just credit recovery but supplemental as well. There is also a need for curriculum for homebound students at the upper elementary level. Teachers, special education department,
student services department, the director of assessment and administrators looked at the products available. Two products, Plato Courseware and A+nywhere Learning System were looked at in depth and Benton said those who looked at them preferred A+. Benton said A+ offered product and price needs. Benton said the curriculum would cost approximately $26,663 and includes training. A+ offers licenses instead of slots. The current system is slot based. She said Novel/Stars assigns a slot so whether the student is online or not the district is paying for that slot. She said the licenses would be a cost savings. Each high school has a budget for the licenses and the middle school will as well. There will be a community meeting to demonstrate the curriculum at 9:00 a.m. on May 23 at the Lewis-Palmer School District 38 administration building.
Prescibed burn at AFA helps state-protected species Special to The Tribune A closely coordinated prescribed burn was scheduled at the United States Air Force Academy last week to help a state-protected species known as Plains Ironweed. “A prescribed burn is a controlled burn designed to meet a specific objective,” said Diane Strohm, a natural resource manager at the academy. “In this case the objective is to enhance a rare plant population, one of only two
known populations of this plant in the state.” The burn will clear out up to one half of an acre of Smooth Brome, a grass competing with Iron Weed, growing just northeast of the 10th Medical Group clinic. The burn was coordinated between the academy’s 10th Civil Engineering Squadron, its fire department and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It lasted a few hours and firefighters were on scene to ensure no threat to surrounding areas and a safe route for drivers.
Portion of LaForet Trail temporarily closed Special to the Tribune
YOU TRAIN, WE PAY!
A small portion of the LaForet Trail under Interstate 25 is closing for several months to accommodate the I-25 expansion project construction. The trail closed May 16 and will be rebuilt. The trail, located between Interquest Parkway and North Gate Boulevard, is widely used by employees and residents east of I-25 to access the Santa Fe Trail, west of the interstate. While the trail is closed the suggested three-mile detour route goes north from
the LaForet Trail, via Voyager Parkway and North Gate Boulevard. Users can then access the Santa Fe Trail from North Gate. “We understand this trail closure inconveniences many outdoor enthusiasts but once construction ends in the area this summer, runners, hikers and bicyclists will have an improved trail under I-25,” said Colorado Department of Transportation Project Manager Dan Hunt. “The detour is a bit of a loop around the closure point and not as convenient as we would like but it’s short-term. Please remember this project is all part of improving travel for motorized and non-motorized users in the Pikes Peak Region.”

opinions / yours and ours
Tobin arrived early, tracked his way into history A legend in Colorado’s history on several fronts, Tobin left his own tracks. His father Irish, and his mother a Delaware Indian, Tobin, and his half brother Charles Autobees, arrived in Colorado as early as 1837 with Ceran St. Vrain and worked as trapper and scout for St. Vrain and his partners, the Bent brothers, at Bent’s Fort, as well as Taos, New Mexico. “Tom Tobin was a picturesque figure. He rode a black horse and wore a black hat, shirt, trousers and boots. He kept two loaded revolvers in his gun belt, one on each side. Although illiterate, Tobin actively supported the local school system and eventually became president of the school board,” wrote Ken Jesson in “Colorado Gunsmoke.” Tobin also garnered a reputation for being able to “track a grasshopper through the sagebrush” and was skilled with a rifle, pistol and knife. He counted among his good friends, the likes of Kit Carson, “Uncle Dick” Wooton, Ceran St. Vrain and Charley Bent. It was his tracking ability that got him the job that was to make him famous as a bounty hunter. Jose Filipe Nerio Espinosa and his brother Vivian Espinosa began their murderous rampage in San Luis Val-
ley and had extended it over Ute Pass and into Dead Man’s Canyon near Fountain. One of the Espinosas was killed but Vivian and a younger cousin carried on. Basically, they declared war on all Anglos and by their own reporting, had killed 22 people in Colorado, mostly miners in the California Gulch area from Fairplay to Red Hill, in South Park. In an interview from Oct. 10, 1946, Kit Carson III, the grandson of Kit Carson and Tom Tobin, and the proprietor of Kit Carson’s Trading Post in Sanford, Colorado, told the following tale of the end of the Espinosa’s reign of terror. “Colonel (Sam) Tappin considered Grandpa Tobin the best tracker in the country, had him brought in and asked to
catch the Espinosas, the reward was not mentioned. Grandpa was told “kill them for humanity’s sake,” nothing said about any reward.” Tobin tracked them to a draw near LaVeta Pass. “The Espinosa’s had been working their way from Colorado Springs going south killing anyone they came in contact with.” By noticing a bunch of crows circling, Tobin identified the murderous villians’ campsite. “He found them busy making a meal,” related Kit Carson, III. “The older Espinosa was squatting in front of the fire, while the younger one was hobbling the horses. Grandpa waited till the younger one came near the campfire, not wanting anyone to get away in the heat of battle. Hiding behind a rock, Grandpa sighted in on the older man and shot him, he fell face first into the fire, grandpa loaded a charge and spit a bare ball into the old Hawkin rifle and killed the younger Espinosa.” Tobin finished off the elder outlaw with his knife and took the Espinosa’s heads in a gunny sack to prove the job was done.
“When arriving at Ft. Garland, the Colonel, some of his officers, and their wives had been out riding, an announcement was made that grandpa was there to see the Colonel. He was brought into a large room where the officers and wives were relaxing after their ride. The Colonel asked, `Any Luck, Tom?’ Grandpa said, “So-so,” and he held the gunnysack upside down rolling the heads out onto the floor, ladies were screaming, the officers and Colonel even looked a little green.” Interestingly enough, Tom Tobin’s son, also Thomas Tobin, was the first state correctional officer killed in the line of duty. On June 26, 1899, Officer Thomas Tobin was stationed at Bridge Seven, a few miles below Florence, during the search for escapee Charles Nichols. Nichols was serving a life sentence for the murder of the marshal of Victor. “In the darkness, one of the sheriff’s posse shot Tobin in the center of his chest, thinking the man on the bridge was the escapee. Tobin was brought back to Canon City in a railroad car; he died a few days later on July 4, 1899,” according to information from the Colorado Department of Corrections.
Memorial Day is a day to remember and honor Next week we will have the opportunity to honor our men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. On Memorial Day, which will take place on May 27 this year, there will be ceremonies all over the country with speeches, concerts and the graves of all veterans decorated with flags. I will be honoring several family members on that day but one veteran I will honor is my dad. He didn’t die while serving in the military but he did serve and I am very proud of him. My dad served in the United States Marine Corps from 1963-1967. Part of his time spent in the service was spent in Vietnam. He never talked about it so we don’t know much about his time there.

I asked him about it he shrugged it off or changed the subject. I do know that, after he came back, he told my mom on his first day he and another marine were in a bunker together and they got hit. The other marine died but my dad’s life was spared. That’s the only thing he ever told my mom about his time there. Though we don’t know this man’s name we honor him

too. Somewhere out there is a family whose heart’s still break because he didn’t come back alive. My dad had pictures from his time in Vietnam and showed them to me years ago. I would love to know about his time there and only wish he would have finally told us about it before he died. I have met many veterans through my job as a reporter and have told them about it and they have told me the same thing. When someone comes back from war they don’t want to talk about what they saw. Another veteran I will honor is my grandpa. My grandpa served in the U.S. Army during World War II. Sometime after he died, my grandma told me that grandpa was sent to Germany right after the war ended and went to Auschwitz to help with clean-up. I can’t even imagine what that
must have been like. I wish I would have known that when grandpa was still alive. I probably would have asked him about it. Other veterans I will honor will be my two uncles. Uncle Bobby fought in the Korean War. He was also a Marine. My uncle George was in the Army. He didn’t go to Vietnam but did serve his country stateside during that time. Memorial Day dates back to 1868 when flowers were placed on the graves of Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery and was passed by Congress in 1971 to be observed on the last Monday in May with the National Holiday Act. Cemeteries across the country will be decorated with flags, wreaths and flowers. It really is a beautiful sight. In Arlington National Cemetery more than 250,000 graves will be decorated with flags.
Some things in life should not be forgotten May is National Historic Preservation Month and Colorado Archaeology and Historic Preservation Month. As the saying on The History Channel goes, history is made every day but bits and pieces, and sometimes entire chunks of it are lost every day, too. This often happens because people don’t see the intrinsic value of items they take for granted until they’re gone. For example, one of my first jobs out of high school was working the concession stand at the 8th Street Drive-in Theater in Colorado Springs. At that time there were drive-in theaters all over the region; besides the 8th Street, there were the Starlight, Vista Vu, Arcadia, Sky Vu and Falcon drive-ins. Of the 64 drive-ins that used to exist in Colorado, seven are still open, including the Mesa Drive-In in Pueblo. My employers also owned the Chief and Peak theaters in downtown Colorado Springs. During the two years I worked in the outdoor theaters, the Arcadia was badly damaged by fire and the Chief Theater was torn down. We did, however, get to tour the great old building for a glimpse of its cinema and stage history before demolition. Too bad it’s gone. The drive-ins had a lot of stories to tell. Twice in the two years I worked at the 8th Street someone lobbed a teargas grenade over the fence and we were also robbed at gun-point a couple of times. There was this one patron who regularly rode his horse in on Saturday nights to watch the movies; I think he hung the speaker from his saddle horn. One time, lightning struck the sound system three hours before show time and the entire staff was called in to repair 500
damaged speakers. We finished just in time for the Disney triple feature and the arrival of about 1,000 kids. At the Sky Vu Drive In, a young man climbed to the top of the screen and threatened to jump. A friend of mine climbed up and talked him out of it but then neither one of them could get down without help from the fire department. We had “ramp guards,” usually Colorado College exchange students from Finland, Sweden and Great Britain, to watch out for people during the movies and a security company that would visit the drive-ins at random times after hours. Each security guard kept a log in which he (they were always men in those days) entered the times and places he visited as he made his rounds. One log stated that the driver had visited the Arcadia at 2 a.m. and “all was quiet.” He failed to mention the massive fire and the three fire engines that were on the scene at 2 a.m. Let’s make it a point to show our kids a part of American history before it disappears by taking them to the drive-in this summer and give some thought to all the other ways

Approval of Eagle Forest subdivision continued Preble’s Meadow Jumping Mouse condition discussed By Lisa Collacott
lcollacott@ourcoloradonews.com No action was taken on the Eagle Forest subdivision final plat at the May 14 El Paso Board of County Commissioners meeting and instead the commissioners voted to continue it on May 28. The subdivision, located in Black Forest, is to have nine single-family lots on a little more than 44 acres with lots ranging from three to five acres, and more than five acres of open space. The initial planned unit development and preliminary plan was approved back in 2005 and a revised one was recently approved by the county planning commission. The developer appeared before the BOCC seeking approval for the final plat. Residents bordering the development have had many concerns regarding the development and they include the layouts of the lots, the septic systems, asbestos from a building on the property that was built in the 1950s and torn down, possible contamination to Burgess Creek and the possible existence of the Preble’s Meadow Jumping Mouse. Raimere Fitzpatrick, project manager for the development services department, said he explained to residents the review process and when they notify certain agencies. He said it was agreed to apply a 300foot buffer around mapped waterways. When that buffer hits a property, whether it’s through a stream or flood plain, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is notified and the applicant goes through their process to get a clearance letter. “When you look at this buffer in accordance with our agreement with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Ser-
vice the county would not have been required to send them notice for Preble’s Meadow Jumping Mouse,” Fitzpatrick said. “Now does that mean because there is a buffer here, does that mean there’s Preble’s Meadow Jumping Mouse? No.” Fitzpatrick said the purpose of the buffer is not to say it identifies the mouse, but rather to say that potentially there are characteristics that would support that type of habitat. The chair of the planning commission instructed staff to notify U.S. Fish and Wildlife as a courtesy, and as a recommended condition of approval. He said U.S. Fish and Wildlife sent a letter, and because of the way it was worded, staff agreed prior to issuance of construction permits the applicant would provide something from U.S. Fish and Wildlife. This was more to protect the county based on the wording of the letter. Commissioner Amy Lathen said she didn’t like the condition and she feels that staff has shown that it is not necessary. Lathen said now the commissioners have to decide whether they think U.S. Fish and Wildlife is going to interpret the map differently and require the letter. There was also concern that it could be concluded that the area is in the buffer area, and proceeding without the letter, risked that U.S. Fish and Wildlife saying was it improper or illegal. “I don’t want to put lot owners in that position. You can see a mouse run across your feet and think you’re in Preble’s Meadow Jumping Mouse (habitat). I don’t want to debate the whole philosophy. I don’t believe in it, I don’t buy it and I don’t agree with it and I can’t wait for the day we get out from under it and I hope that we’ll be fighting for that in every way possible,” Lathen said. “That said, I’m concerned that they are going to come back and say we saw a mouse and you’re going to stop construction.” Lathen said she feels the county
Welcome to the Community
is in a game of chicken with regards to the interpretation of the map and they need to make a decision whether or not this condition stays in the record. Fitzpatrick said U.S. Fish and Wildlife has tested the area before and set traps but has never found the jumping mouse in that area, but had received calls from citizens that said they have seen them. Now U.S. Fish and Wildlife is concerned that they have moved upstream. Commissioner Daryll Glenn asked the county attorney if they needed to discuss this in executive session to review their legal liability with regards to constructive notice, and the county attorney said that would be her suggestion.
Other concerns
Residents were also concerned that approval was made without the proper planning and regional building department requirements and those requirements were attaching addresses to the final plat drawings, a house that was built on one of the lots and there were concerns about a septic system for the house that remains unfinished. They also want commissioners to require that property owners downstream be notified when any development is built along a creek or river. The applicant, Dean Mabe, said they followed all county regulations and he had an affidavit stating the demolition was inspected and materials disposed of correctly. He said he hired a licensed Colorado demolition contractor to inspect the area and the contractor found no sign of asbestos. Both Glenn and Commissioner Chair Dennis Hisey agreed that the downstream notification may be a policy discussion that may be done at another time. Hisey said the issue with the addresses is any easy fix and a house can be built on a lot according to current state regulations.

Donala community meeting addresses issues Assistant manager discusses water district’s actions By Lisa Collacott
lcollacott@ourcoloradonews.com Customers of Donala Water and Sanitation District learned about the long-term and short-term issues the district is facing and how the issues are being addressed during a community meeting last week. Kip Petersen, assistant manager, said the increasing costs of delivering of renewable water and electricity are the primary challenges. The district’s renewable water comes from the Willow Creek Ranch near Leadville and is passed through the city of Colorado Springs infrastructure as well as the Bureau of Reclamation and the Pueblo Board of Water Works infrastructures. Other issues include aging infrastructure, declining aquifers, (leading to increased pumping costs,) and the weather cycles. “It’s getting hotter. It’s getting dryer, less rainfall, less snowfall in the winter. Winters are drier and warmer. That creates more of a demand for water and water is already in short supply,” Petersen said. Petersen told customers that in 2013 renewable water costs are expected to be $1.7 million. That includes transportation through Colorado Springs Utilities, the Pueblo Board of Water Works, water rights and storage costs in Pueblo Reservoir. Normal operating and maintenance costs is $2.26 million to maintain district facility, fuel costs and pay for personnel,

He said those costs are expected to go up and future increases with Colorado Springs are being projected for the next two to three years at 10 percent. “Southern Colorado Delivery System, they have an impact on that.

Petersen showed a rate comparison chart from last fall to customers in attendance. If a customer of Donala uses 20,000 gallons of water they will pay $145. The same amount of water would be

Petersen said the way they are responding is through the renewable water supply, conservation, education and cooperation. The Willow Creek Ranch provides approximately 280 acre feet of water annually. He said he was up at the ranch recently and there is no snow on the ground. There is snow higher up on the mountain and Donala is hoping for a slow snow melt. Petersen said the ranch is only one source of renewable water and they are looking into other alternatives or more renewable water but it’s not easily found. Petersen also talked about the current water irrigation standards and the Donala Gardens located on Gleneagle Drive where customers can get ideas for xeriscaping plants. He told customers that they can find an extensive library at www.donalawater.org to assist with consumer education for water conservation as well as other additional resources for xeriscape information. He said cooperation and partnerships are very important because water projects take time and are expensive. It’s not just Donala that is dealing with the drought, he said, and they have to keep their options open. “Conservation will not solve the longterm drought issues. It’s a part of it but we can’t conserve our way out of the drought. We have to find alternative sources or renewable water,” Petersen said.

Ask about our happy hour! When people mention Mexican Food, we immediately think enchiladas, tacos, burritos and tamales. Mexico actually has a very diverse food history. The food items mentioned above are actually a very small part of the food culture in Mexico. One must remember that France and Spain played a major role in the evolution of the Mexican culture and in their cuisine. At Carlos Miguel’s, we bring you an enticing sample of what Mexican cuisine is all about. You will see food from Baja, the Yucatan, the Northern frontier, the coastal regions and more. You will taste it in our sauces, salads, and seafood. As a chef, and a very strong food critic, I am proud to serve the authenticity of Mexico that Carlos Miguel’s brings to Colorado. I invite you to visit our Monument location and experience the diversity Mexico has to offer. Come enjoy a true Mexican Culinary experience! ~ Rick Matthews

DCC junior to spend week at space center Haleigh Flaherty chosen to take part in workshop By Lisa Collacott
lcollacott@ourcoloradonews.com For many students, it would be a dream to spend a week at Johnson Space Center in Houston learning about space exploration and surrounded by experts in the field. Discovery Canyon Campus junior Haleigh Flaherty will get to do that this summer when she takes part in the NASA Women in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) High School Aerospace Scholars Summer Workshop. Flaherty is one of 80 high school junior girls from around the country chosen to participate in the program. Flaherty is excited to have been chosen especially since she loves science. Her plans are to attend the University of Colorado after she graduates and become an aerospace engineer. “It (the workshop) will definitely determine for me if aerospace is the way I want to go,” Flaherty said. Flaherty found out about the summer workshop through a friend and applied. Only 300 students were accepted to take part in an online course. Students were asked to create designs for possible space technologies. They had to create a lunar base, Mars Rover, International Space Station technology and a space ship and submit graphic designs. Flaherty found this to be a lot of fun since she likes art. Out of the 300 students 80 were chosen. “It will be so cool,” Flaherty said. While in Houston, the girls will create a Mars Lander, payload lofter and a Mars Rover. The workshop is an all-expense paid trip. Flaherty hopes there will be scholarship opportunities through the program but if anything it will look good on a college application.

Local roundtable brings stories, facts from Civil War home Group meets monthly in Monument By Norma Engelberg
nengelberg@ourcoloradonews.com The Rocky Mountain Civil War Roundtable meets once a month in Denver but TriLakes history buff Leon Tenney got tired of the drive. In February he started a Civil War Roundtable in Monument to give local aficionados a chance to share what they know. “The idea behind a roundtable is that everyone participates and no one is in authority,” he said. “Everybody gets to speak their mind.” He added that there have been roundtables all over the nation for more than 100 years. “A lot of roundtables gravitate to having a speaker each month,” he said. “After a while you exhaust what your group knows but we’re not there yet.” Since February, roundtable subjects have included the battles of Gettysburg, Chickamauga and Chattanooga. The subject for the next meeting is chosen by those who attended the last meeting. “The Civil War was special in that we know a lot about it,” Tenney said. “A lot of the volunteers those first few years were very literate. They wrote letters and if they survived the war they wrote books. …There are more books about the American Civil War than any other single subject.” One of his favorites is “The Gettysburg Companion” by Mark Adkin, who has also written books about other wars and battles
Union Gen. Ulysses S. Grant left, and Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee are still considered to be two of the most notable leaders of the American Civil War. Their names come up often at Civil War Roundtable meetings around the country. Photo by Courtesy photo from Waterloo and Trafalgar to the Charge of the Light Brigade and Afghanistan’s war with Russia. “Probably the most definitive single book
about the American Civil War is `Battles and Leaders (of the Civil War)’ published in the 1880s,” he said. “It was based on articles written by Union and Confederate soldiers
for Century magazine (1884-1887). It was then published in four volumes but has since been edited down to one volume. The beauty is that old books have no copyright.” All four volumes are available online at eHistory, ehistory.osu.edu, a website maintained by the College of Arts & Sciences at Ohio State University. “More Americans died in the Civil War than during all other wars involving Americans combined,” he said. “The single bloodiest day in American history wasn’t Sept. 11 (2001) but instead it was a single day during the Civil War (the battle of Antietam/Sharpsburg) and the last song Lincoln requested before he was assassinated was `Dixie.’” Many people might have wondered how history would have been different if that assassination five days after the South surrendered hadn’t happened. “We already know that,” Tenney said. “Lincoln had devised a plan to bring the southern states back into the Union. Congress wanted revenge but Lincoln didn’t.” He added that what Lincoln wanted was there is his second inaugural address. “Lincoln said `with malice toward none with charity toward all,’” he said. “He outlined his plan to (Ulysses S.) Grant and when Congress tried to arrest (Robert E.) Lee a few years after the war, Grant came to his rescue. These were remarkable men.” The roundtable meets at 7 p.m. on the second Wednesday of each month in the conference room at the Monument Sanitation Office, 130 Second St. For more information about the roundtable call Tenney at 719-481-4407 or just show up.

AARP members honored Special to The Tribune The prestigious 2013 AARP Chapter and REA Unit Community Service Award was presented to Ray and Lin Rozak at the May meeting of the Black Forest AARP Chapter No. 1100. The award included a congratulatory letter signed by AARP President Rob Romasco and AARP CEO Allison Barry Rand. The presentation included a framed certificate and individual distinctive lapel pins for both Lin and Ray. The Rozaks were recognized for their sustained exemplary service to the Black Forest Chapter and the Black Forest community. Their outstanding contributions include organizing and managing a free document shredding and food donation collection event the last four years with each event
exceeding the expectations and community benefits of each previous year. They also planned a chapter assistance project of moving senior home residents to a new facility and led an effort to help clean up at the Flying W Ranch after the devastating 2012 Waldo Canyon fire. The Rozaks were also instrumental in the daily and monthly routine of all chapter business and activities. To a large extent the work of the Rozaks has resulted in the Black Forest AARP Chapter being designated the most outstanding AARP Chapter in Colorado for Community Service the past four years in a row. Black Forest AARP Chapter membership and meetings are open to persons of all ages.

Tri-Lakes athletes shine at state track meet
secutive 3A team title, and seventh in eight years. TCA’s boys also won its second straight team title, and third in four years. “(Winning the state title) is always in the back of our minds, but we don’t overstress that kind of thing,” said TCA coach Tim Daggett. “We don’t want to create pressure. We feel that if we do things the right way it will come together.” On the girls side, senior Alexa Chacon repeated as state champ in the 100 and 300 hurdles. Juniors Hannah Carr (shot put and discus), Lauren Hamilton (1,600 and 800) each won two individual events. Junior Brianne Hoglin won the 400 meters. Hamilton won the girls’ 800 state title Friday, jumping over a fallen girl on the second lap to grab the victory in 2:19.23. Carr became the school’s first-ever athlete to win a field event when she claimed the discus title. Carr’s throw of 136-8 set a personal best and a school record. Carr’s championship throw was only five feet shy of the 3A state meet record. The girls also won the 3,200 relay. The Titans’ boys were led by senior Collin Scheer, won the triple jump (44-0.75) on May 16, and by sophomore Nick Deray, won the 400 on May 18.
The Classical Academy wins boys, girls state team championships By Danny Summers LAKEWOOD – It was a memorable state track and field meet for Tri-Lakes area athletes last week at Jefferson County Stadium in Lakewood. Ten individual titles were won by students from Lewis-Palmer, Discovery Canyon Campus and The Classical Academy. On May 16, Discovery Canyon junior Jackson Spalding earned the first gold medal of any Tri-Lakes area athlete when he won the Class 4A shot put title. In doing so, Spalding also became the school’s firstever male track athlete to be crowned state champion. Two days later, Spalding added a second state championship when he won the discus championship. “I was feeling it in shot put,” Spalding said on May 16 after he threw the sphere a career-best 52 feet, 9 ¾ inches. “I hadn’t even thrown a shot put for a while, but it just really felt good today. It was that perfect combination of everything.” Spalding entered the shot ranked ninth in 4A. His mighty heave came on his second of six attempts. Sand Creek’s Nathan Dunivan finished second, two inches back of Spalding. On May 18, Spalding won the discus with a heave of 159-9. He was ranked second in the event heading into the state meet. The Thunder boys finished sixth as a team, thanks in large part to senior Nick Betz, who was second in the 110 hurdles (14.42) and third in the 300 hurdles (38.51). Thunder teammate Jared Parker was ninth in the 800 (1:59.73). The Thunder girls finished 11th. Senior Kaydee Valliere was second in the long jump (17-6 ½) and seventh in the 100 dash

Palmer Ridge loses in semis; TCA advances to State Finals Tri-Lakes girls soccer teams advance deep into the playoffs
By Danny Summers The Lewis-Palmer and Discovery Canyon boys swimming and diving teams enjoyed successful state meets last weekend. Lewis-Palmer, competing in Class 5A, finished sixth as it had two divers finish in the top five. Discovery Canyon came in fifth at the 4A meet as senior Luke Robert medaled in the top four in two individual events. “We were ranked eighth going in, so I would say this was a successful meet for us,” said Lewis-Palmer coach Alan Arata. “I think we’re happy with where we finished.” Arata’s enthusiasm was a bit tempered. His Rangers swam school-record times in the prelims on May 17, but that all changed the next day when it was discovered the pool at Colorado Mesa University in Grand Junction was too short. “Somebody measured the pool and it wound up being 1/10th of an inch too short,” Arata said. “The rules state the pool can be too long, but it can’t be too short.” Officials spent much of Saturday afternoon “lengthening” the pool, delaying the start of the finals by an hour. When the pool was remeasured, it wound up being five inches too long. “That kind of threw everybody off,” Arata said. “Everybody who swam all these really fast times on Friday was swimming a lot slower. You had to ignore the times and focus on your
The Bears’ girls took 10th in 4A, while the boys finished 21st. Palmer Ridge junior Ali Deitsch had a memorable meet, finishing third in the 800 (2:13.55). Also on the girls side, junior Lauren Cherry was seventh in the triple jump (3500.50), while the 800 sprint medley relay team was eighth (1:50.88). Gemma Tedeschi finished fifth in the pole vault (10-6) and teammate Libby Acker was ninth (10-0). Leading the way for the boys was senior Nathan Mills, who was seventh in the 800 (1:58.10). Junior Nathan Brock finished seventh in the pole vault with a leap of 13-6, while teammate Kyle Roder was ninth at 13-0 feet.

Photo by Kevin Christensen places.” The finals brought excitement as three Rangers divers earned points for the team. Zachary Mullins and Jordan Purdham finished fourth and fifth, respectively, helping the Rangers finish the meet with 134 points. Mullins scored 445.75, while Purdham scored 423.25. Hunter Bains took second in the 400 freestyle with a time of 46.37, just .04 seconds behind Fairview’s Miles MacKenzie. Bains took seventh in the 200 free (1:43.18). Rangers senior Michael Havenar had a strong showing in the 500 freestyle, finishing seventh (4:48.25). Two Rangers’ relay teams also performed well, finishing sixth in the 400 free (3:13.97) and eighth in the 200 free (1:28.31). On the first day of the meet – before the shorter distance of the pool was discovered – Havenar shattered the school record by nine seconds in the 500 free with a time of 4:42. The Rangers set two other school records as well.
DISCOVERY CANYON
At Thornton (Veteran’s Memorial Aquatics Center): The Thunder enjoyed its best state meet since the school started its program four years ago. Thunder senior Luke Robert led the way for Discovery Canyon, finishing third in the 50 free, fourth in the 100 free, and swimming the final leg of the 400 free relay team that took second place. The 200 free relay finished fourth. “I was looking to challenge for first or second in my individual events,” Robert said. My better swims individually were Friday. But I’m happy with the way I swam in my relays.” Robert won the 100-yard freestyle in prelims with an All-American-consideration time of 46.18 seconds. Thunder junior Daniel Liu finished second in the 100 butterfly in the finals to Air Academy’s Devon Davis. The Thunder turned in record times the first day of the event on May 17 when it set school records in all three relays. It also qualified six individual swimmers in the finals.
The high school girls’ soccer season ended for Palmer Ridge on May 18, while The Classical Academy played for a state title earlier this week. The Classical Academy (15-2-1) advanced to its third state title game in four seasons on May 18 with a 2-1 victory over Colorado Academy (135) at All-City Stadium in Denver. TCA, the No. 1 seed in the tournament, played No. 2 Peak to Peak (15-22) for the Class 3A state championship on May 21, but results of that game were not available at press time. Meanwhile, for the third consecutive season, Palmer Ridge lost in the 4A state semifinals. The latest setback for the No. 3 seeded Bears was a 2-1 loss to No. 2 Broomfield at Sports Authority Stadium in Parker.
Broomfield converted two first-half penalty kicks and the Bears were never able to claw their way back on top. Palmer Ridge scored its goal with 26 remaining in the second half on a header by Madison Thomas. Thomas’ goal came after a corner kick by Madison Tominello. Three of Palmer Ridge’s losses this season were to 5A teams. Their other loss was to Cheyenne Mountain, which plays Broomfield tonight for the state championship. TCA advanced to the finals in dramatic fashion on an overtime goal by Meghan Troupe. Colorado Academy’s goal was scored by speedster Marin McCoy midway through the first half when she redirected a free kick. The goal was the first allowed by the Titans in eight games. TCA tied the score on a Bonnie Buzzetta blast 10 minutes into the second half. Heading into the state championship game, TCA had outscored opponents 71-8 this season.

LAKEWOOD – Richard Stewart began coaching track and field at Lewis-Palmer High School in 1971. But until last weekend, he never had an athlete accomplish what Nicole Montgomery did in a matter of 24 hours at the state meet in Lakewood. The red-headed speedster won Class 4A gold medals in the 400 meters and sprint medley relay – setting two state records in the process at Jefferson County Stadium. She also broke her own school record in the 200. “My mom (Ramona Sysco) started crying before I even finished the (400),” an elated Montgomery said shortly after finishing with a record time of 54.24 seconds in the race that was run on May 18. “My original goal was to run the best race I could, but as soon as I started I said ‘I’m not going to lose this.’” Montgomery, a sophomore who attended Discovery Canyon Campus through eighth grade, blew by the competition, finishing 59/100ths of a second ahead of second-place finisher Abby Simpson of Pueblo County. Earlier in the day, Montgomery finished third in the 200, breaking her own school record in the event with a time of 24.93. “I had a good start out of the blocks, but I relaxed a little too much,” Montgomery said. A day earlier (May 17), Montgomery ran anchor on the 800 sprint medley relay team that set a state record for all classifications with a time of 1:45.42. It was also the second-fasted in the nation this year. The rest of the team consisted of seniors Kami Ahart, Jade Pantle and Rylee Newman. All four girls set personal records during the race. With less than 100 meters to go, Montgomery pushed past Harrison’s Alyssa Evans and never looked back. Harrison came in second at 1:45.74.

I couldn’t have asked for more.” Stewart was blown away at how flawless the girls were in their pursuit of gold. “Everything was perfect,” Stewart said. “Handoffs were perfect. You couldn’t tell when one girl stopped and the next one started. It couldn’t have been any better. It was the first time this year that all four girls ran the race together. “We practiced handoff Monday and Tuesday,” Stewart said. “The rest is history, as they say.” Stewart experienced a variety of emotions during the weekend.
