Community gets informed about fire action plans Meeting held to discuss emergency preparedness, mitigation and the Waldo Canyon Fire
‘We would like to see everywhere in the district a proactive approach
By Lisa Collacott
from homeowners to help
lcollacott@ourcoloradonews.com Woodmoor and other Tri-Lakes residents attended a community meeting about emergency preparedness and putting together a personal wildfire action plan. The meeting, on April 30, was hosted by the Woodmoor Improvement Association Firewise committee and featured three experts in the area. Bryan Jack, interim fire chief for the Tri-Lakes Monument Fire Protection District, Kathy Russell, head of emergency preparedness for El Paso County and Dave Root, assistant district forester for the Colorado State Forest Service discussed the Waldo Canyon Fire, mitigation and evacuation plans. Jack talked about how the TLMFPD has prepared to respond to incidents and what their capabilities are. Jack said it is vital to use 911 to call in a wild land fire because that sets the stage for their response. Seven fire trucks and 14 people will initially respond from the TLMFPD as well as 7-14 firefighting vehicles and 40 personnel from the eight other districts that are part of the mutual aid partnership. “That plan is already prearranged and it’s been in effect for several years,� Jack said. He said as far as evacuations go they are going to look at the incident and get a good size up of the fire. If at any time they believe the fire exceeds their capabilities they will call in ad-

They will tell the incident management team that the fire is going to expand beyond their capabilities and they need to get people out of there. He said the sheriff will issue the evacuation notice. One of the questions posed to Jack was why go through all the trouble with of preparing for wild land fire when there has not been a major fire in Woodmoor and they have what they consider adequate protection from the fire district. “It’s kind of clichĂŠ and I’m sure you’ve heard it lots of times, it’s not if but when.
How can we be proactive to reduce the effect when that fire occurs? From an agency standpoint that’s what we’re looking at,� Jack said. “We would like to see everywhere in the district a proactive approach from homeowners to help us help you.� Russell said the emergency management office is continuing preparations based on lessons learned from the Waldo Canyon fire because there will be another response. She said the county learned many lessons from the fire. “Personal preparedness is absolutely essential. You can’t expect to have a fire truck
parked in your driveway. You can’t expect to have a fire truck come to your neighborhood and we saw this in Waldo Canyon. On average in the United States of America you have one uniformed first responder for every 800 citizens and most of the time that works out just fine because not everyone is having a problem at the same time. When everybody is having a problem at the same time we call that a disaster and the rules are radically different in that case,� Russell said. Russell said in wild land firefighting triage training her instructor once told the class, “Don’t be afraid to write-off a house, I write-off whole neighborhoods.� “Personal preparedness is absolutely critical. You can’t wait for a call. You can’t wait for a knock on the door. You’ve got to have your plan in place and be ready to pull the trigger yourself,� Russell added. Russell said when you’re talking about planning your worst case scenario assume Fire continues on Page 9

D-20 selects CSPD commander Special to The Tribune
Brian Grady, commander and executive officer for the Colorado Springs Police Department, will be the new executive director for security in Academy School District 20. Grady’s appointment was approved by the D-20 Board of Education on May 2. He replaces D-20’s Chief of Security Larry Borland who will be retiring at the end of June. “I am very honored and humbled to be selected from a field of highly-qualified candidates to become the next executive director
for security in Academy District 20,” Grady said. “I look forward to working with and leading the dedicated professionals who are part of the security team. After a 36-year career with the Colorado Springs Police Department I am excited to begin a new career ensuring the safety and security of the students, parents, staff and administrators of Academy District 20.” Grady began his law enforcement career with the Colorado Springs Police Department as a patrol officer in 1977. He has served the Colorado Springs Police Department as a detective in juvenile and
HAP health fair offers screenings, resources 11th annual health fair in conjunction with D-38, Beth-El College of Nursing By Lisa Collacott
lcollacott@ourcoloradonews.com For health screenings and resources the community is invited to the Tri-Lakes Heath Advocacy Partnership’s annual health fair. In the past HAP has partnered with 9 Health Fair but this year is partnering with the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs Beth-El College of Nursing and Lewis-Palmer School District 38 to provide health screenings. The health fair is also being moved to the D-38 Administration Building also known as Big Red. “We wanted to access people on the west side of the highway,” Larry Lawrence, health fair organizer, said. The health fair generally take place in one of the high schools but Lawrence said holding at the administration building will hopefully draw people in who live on the west side and haven’t attended a health fair because of the location. The health fair is free but there is a
$7 charge for anyone wanting a blood glucose or cholesterol screening. It is recommended that anyone getting these screenings fast for 12 hours to get more accurate results. Blood screenings will not be done on youth 18 and under. Also available will be blood pressure screening, hearing tests, alcohol screenings, and calculations of Body Mass Index, stress and depression screenings. There will also be information available on nutrition, tobacco use and CPR demonstrations. The Tri-Lakes Family YMCA, Monument Pediatrics, American Red Cross, American Cancer Society, the Tri-Lakes Monument Fire Protection District, Tri-Lakes Cares, Pikes Peak United Way and Vitamin Cottage will also be available to offer health resources. Approximately 200-300 people turned out at last year’s health fair and Lawrence said HAP is hoping for just as many people this year. “We would like it to be a successful event. The community really gets involved,” Lawrence said. The health fair is in its 11th year. The health fair will take place from 7:30 a.m. until noon on May 11. The D-38 administration building is located at 146 Jefferson Street.
property crimes. He has also served as a lieutenant overseeing Patrol, Central Division and the Major Crimes Unit. In his current position as commander/executive officer he manages Internal Affairs, Public Affairs, Community Relations, the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, the Training Academy and the Planning, Research and Grants Unit. Grady will begin his duties in D-20 on June 10. “We are fortunate to have been able to select a highly-experienced law enforcement executive to lead our school security team,”
said D-20 Superintendent Dr. Mark Hatchell. “Brian Grady brings a wealth of expertise to our district and has the added advantage of already knowing our community.” Grady will lead the 33-member school security and safety team for D-20 which serves more than 24,000 students and nearly 3,000 staff members in northern Colorado Springs and on the United States Air Force Academy. The district made significant improvements to safety and security beginning in 2008 when voters approved a mill levy override that promised improved safety infrastructure, security technology and additional officers.

Section 504 ensures that a student with a disability has equal access to education by providing accommodations for the student. Students who qualify for a 504 plan cannot be denied the opportunity to participate in any aid, benefit, services and/or activities that are available for students without disabilities. This includes school-sponsored non-academic and extra-curricular services and activities�. http://www.clcm.org/ed504plans.html
Q:
When we requested that our child be evaluated for Special Ed services during his 5th Grade year, we were told that she was ineligible even to be evaluated for SPED, because, since I am Spanish, she is then required to be serviced through the ELL program. Her problem is not the English language, which is what we speak in our hom e. Her problems are learning disabilities with reading, cognition and math. Can we get the same services thro ugh ELL rather than SPED?
Q:
Our child is falling behind in scho ol, and has developed nervous tics and mom ents where he just seems to “zone out� during class. We requested that he be evaluated for eligibility for SPED services, and were told by the school that he is NOT eligible, as his problem is just shyness. What can we do?? ??

I am told that this is after they were included in the December “count� for federal funding. I do not understand why my child is not eligible for cont inued SPED services – his qualifications for eligibility have not changed. What should I do?

DCC student dies playing choking game Parents ask school to encourage families to make safe decisions By Lisa Collacott
lcollacott@ourcoloradonews.com The Discovery Canyon Campus community is grieving the loss of one of their own after a student tragically died engaging in what is known as the “choking game.” Freshman Sean Hill died on April 26 and students and parents of DCC were informed the following Monday morning. The family has asked for privacy and the district isn’t releasing any more details. Hill’s parents gave the district permission to share how their son died and also warn parents. In an email sent to parents the school stated, “We have extended our support to Sean’s family and we are honoring his family’s request for privacy at this time, by only releasing information that they had approved. Out of sincere concern for our students and community, Sean’s parents have given us permission to share that Sean died accidentally while experimenting with what is commonly referred to as “the choking game,” and they have asked us to encourage you to make safe decisions.” The choking game is an act of suffocation that is done purposely in order to get high. When a person engages in the choking game, blood flow to the brain is cut in order to experience lightheadedness. A belt, rope or bare hands can be used. According to The Centers for Disease Control
A makeshift memorial sits in front of the DCC high school entrance on April 29. A freshman accidentally died while playing the “choking game” a few days before. The parents gave the school administration permission to share how he died and urged everyone to make safe decisions in their lives. Photo by Lisa Collacott it only takes a matter of seconds for someone to become unconscious. Within three minutes, memory, balance and the central nervous system fail and death usually follows. Even if someone does not die, they can end up in a coma or have seizures. Dr. Kathleen Foote, pediatrician at Monument Pediatrics, said any lack of oxygen is dangerous. “When you have a lack of oxygen you
can’t think clearly. Just like drugs or alcohol, a lack of oxygen kills brain cells. Adolescent brains are very fragile,” Foote said. Foote said it varies from individual to individual how long it takes for them to lose consciousness or to die. And if someone has an underlying health issues it can cause more damage to the brain. Kids between the ages of 11-16 are most likely to play the game according to G.A.S.P.,
which stands for Games Adolescents Shouldn’t Play. GASP is a nationwide organization that aims to educate the dangers of the choking game and put a stop to it. It reports that an estimated 200-1,000 kids die each year though statistics are hard to track because many of the cases are reported as suicides. The CDC reports that 87 percent of the deaths from the choking game have been boys and nearly all the kids that died from playing the game were alone. The choking game is known by other names including: the pass-out game, suffocation roulette, the fainting game, blacking out, flat liner and purple hazing. This is the second time in two years that the D-20 community has lost a student to the choking game. In August of 2011, 12-year-old GianLuc Jordan, a seventh grader at Mountain Ridge Middle School, died while playing the game. Jordan died after being in a coma for several days. His parents have worked to create awareness about the game since Jordan’s death. The CDC lists on its website the warning signs to look for to determine if a child or teen is playing the choking game. They include: discussion of the game or its aliases, bloodshot eyes, marks on the neck, frequent and severe headaches, ropes, belts and scarves tied to furniture or door knobs and pinpoint bleeding spots under the skin of the face, particularly the eyelids. “It’s not a game. It’s not fun at all,” Foote said, adding that parents need to be aware of just how dangerous the choking game is.

Maketa talked about the gun legislation and how it impacts law enforcement. He also outlined what he finds wrong with the laws and how he considers them overeaching. House Bill 13-1229 requires that universal background checks be done
before any weapon can be transferred, either by sale through a licensed dealer, or by sale or gift between private parties. He said this means he couldn’t leave his gun with his wife, if he was going to go out of town and be gone 72 hours. He would have to get a background check on her before he left it with her so she could protect herself. “That is overreaching,” Maketa said. “They (legislators) are criminalizing law abiding citizens. When we pass laws I think the laws ought to target what we are trying to accomplish. If it is to keep guns out of the hands of criminals let’s target those people.” Maketa said people are worried about the bad guys getting guns but unfortunately the focus is not on laws that address how they really get them. He said that is why he has been staunchly opposing that law. He said he’s not opposed to back-
ground checks. Maketa also said he was opposed to HB 13-1224, the ban on high capacity magazines. He said it will be a challenge for law enforcement to enforce. Anyone who owns or purchases a high capacity magazine before July 1 will be grandfathered in but to purchase or transfer those magazines after July 1 will be illegal. Maketa said there was a previous ban from 19932003 however those magazines are now back in circulation because that ban sunset. There is a mixture of magazines that are in circulation that someone cannot look at and identify when it was made. “I cannot establish probable cause or even a threshold of reasonable suspicion to begin questioning you as a suspect. To do so would be a violation of your constitutional right of your fifth amendment,” Maketa said. Adding to that, he said
there is a provision in there that states if a magazine has a removal base plate, even if it holds 10 rounds, and can be modified and extended, it will be illegal after July 1. Maketa said it should not be declared illegal just because it has a removable base plate, but to wait until it is extended. He said he is not against preventing mass shootings, but studies done during the last ban, found that the bans had no effect on the number of gunshot wounds to a victim or the number of victims involved in one incident. “Columbine occurred during one of these bans,” he said. “If the intent is to ban these to keep mass shootings from happening we are not going about it the right way and by the way we’re setting law abiding citizens up to be charged at a higher rate, to be criminalized at a higher rate than the criminals we’re supposed to be targeting. I have a prob-

He suggested looking for opportunities to amend the bills and to at least bring some reasonable common sense to them.
Crime trends in Tri-Lakes
Maketa also talked about criminal activity in the TriLakes area. He said one common crime they are seeing, is mailbox smashing. He said property crimes are going up county-wide. He also said there is an increase in stolen vehicles in the county because people leave their keys in the car. “We need to not make it easy for criminals to victimize us,” he said. He said they have seen an increase in lower-level property crimes, or people who enter vehicles and homes to steal. There has been a real fluctuation in burglaries over the past three years. These are usually crimes committed by youth who live in the area. He said what people can do, is go back to the basics of protecting their homes and property and
avoid being an easy target. Maketa said in 2012, there were 22 business burglaries, up three from 2011. There were 65 residential burglaries, up 12 from 2011. There were 12 robberies. However, theft overall is down 10 percent. Crimes against a person are down 16 percent. There was one homicide in the Tri-Lakes area in 2011, none in 2012 and one in 2013. He said in response to that, they have 48 new deputies in the sheriff’s office academy, and another 40 in the law enforcement academy, and nine lateral transfers from other law enforcement agencies. Another academy will soon be starting. “The tax increase that the voters granted under 1A, those tax dollars are at work,” Maketa said, adding that the goal is to get 140 people hired. “I would say that county residents should begin seeing more presence of marked patrol units throughout the community.” They have also ordered another type three wild land fire truck, as well as a crew carrier, which should arrive mid-summer.

Local historian puts area history on ice
You are invited to Mountain View Electric Association’s 72nd Annual Meeting of Members
By Norma Engelberg
nengelberg@ourcoloradonews.com
This month’s Palmer Lake Historical Society program is about ice and its connection to railroads and local history. The society invites the public to “Colorado Ice Houses,” a presentation by historian Bill Reich, at 7 p.m. on May 16 at the Palmer Lake Town Hall, 28 Valley Crescent. Reich will relate the results of his research into railroad ice houses in Colorado, including the local Doyle Ice & Storage Co., which, at the turn of the 19th century, was located on the eastern edge of what is now called Monument Lake. An ice harvesting operation was also located on the southwest side of Palmer Lake at about the same time. There was a strong tie between ice houses and the railroads, which led to the establishment of many ice storage houses and businesses devoted to harvesting, storing, and shipping ice along local train routes. Some of these establishments were located on the Palmer Divide. Reich’s presentation will include photographs showing various aspects of the ice industry, such as the cutown ting of ice on lakes and the loading of Lisa large ice blocks into railroad box cars. Commercial ice harvests were a major business in this area 100 years ago. He is the author of three books on Colorado’s historical industries. “Colorado Railroad Ice Houses” and “Colorado Rail Annual No. 29 Black Smoke and White Iron: A History of Colorado Kilns, Ovens, Furnaces and Rails” are

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS
Charlie Goodnight rode high in the saddle To steal a line from Willie Nelson, “my heroes have always been cowboys, and they still are it seems.� But whom do cowboys choose as their hero? I think it just might be Charlie Goodnight. Locally, the Goodnight-Loving portion of the Santa Fe Trail, and perhaps even the naming rights for Cripple Creek are attributed to him. “I was on the frontier carrying a gun when I should have been in school,� an aging Charles Goodnight told his biographer years later. Goodnight was born in the farming region of Macoupin County, Illinois, (three days after the forming of the Republic of Texas) on March 2, 1836. His exploits are legendary and are woven into the very fabric of the West in general, and the histories of Texas, New
Mexico, Colorado and the cattle industry in specific. “He rode bareback from Illinois to Texas when he was nine years old. He was hunting with Caldo Indians beyond the frontier at thirteen, launching into the cattle business at twenty, guiding Texas Rangers at twenty four, blazing cattle trials two thousand miles in length at thirty, establishing
a ranch three hundred miles beyond the frontier at forty, and at forty-five, dominating nearly twenty million acres of range country in the interest of order. At sixty, he was recognized as possibly the greatest scientific breeder of range cattle in the West, and at ninety, he was an active international authority on the economics of the range industry.� So wrote J. Evetts Haley in his 1936 book “Charles Goodnight - Cowman and Plainsman.’ “He always rode beyond the borderlands, upon the ranges of unspoiled grass. He knew the West of Jim Bridger, Kit Carson, Dick Wooten, St.Vrain and Lucien Maxwell. He ranged a country as vast as Bridger ranged. He rode with the boldness of Fremont, guided by the craft of Carson. The vast and changing country which he
moved, the fertility of a mind that quickly grasped the significance of climate and topography, the inexhaustible energy of his mind and body, and the long period of time which he constantly applied himself to the Western World, operated to produce in this man an ample nature surpassing many more famous characters of frontier history‌ Now, a hundred years after his birth, his massive frame looms strong among the horsemen of the storied West,� wrote Haley. Much of Charlie Goodnight’s early experience was in fighting Indians, particularly Comanche raiders on the edge of the Texas frontier, first serving in the local militia, then as a Texas Ranger, and with the onslaught of the Civil War, as part of the Confederacy. But that was only the start.
What to do this summer Keep eye out for falling rocks Summer break! The countdown begins for many students and probably teachers to. Local schools are scheduled to end the school year in about three weeks. But what do kids do during the summer? Most of them just enjoy those first few days sleeping in, watching television and just relaxing. But do we really want our kids sleeping until noon every day and gluing themselves to the television or video games. Not me and that’s exactly what my kids will do if I let them. And with my husband and I both working all day it’s a little hard to monitor. And let’s face it after a couple weeks what do we hear coming out of their mouths? “I’m bored.� I’ve been thinking a lot lately what my kids will do once school’s out. My 17-year-old is job hunting right now so hopefully something comes up so he can occupy himself with that. But my 14-year-old is a different story. She’s the one that will most likely plant herself in front of the T.V. set since my older one rarely watches T.V. Just this morning I took them both to the doctor for a check-up and the doctor suggested they do some volunteer work this summer. I thought that was a great idea. I’ve been trying to instill in them how important volunteer work is. I know a lot of organizations require a parent to be with a teen if they are going to volunteer so if you work maybe you can work something out with a grandparent or a parent of your kid’s friends. If that is not an option your kids can always find neighbors, especially elderly neighbors, who need weeds pulled, lawns

mowed, dogs that need to be played with or walked. Explain to your kids that they are doing this to lend a helping hand not necessarily to get paid since most elderly people have a limited income. If money is what they are looking for then they might make some flyers to start a lawn mowing or weed pulling business or even babysitting. On www.kidshealth.org there is an article on “Tips for Surviving Summer Break.� In the article it suggested that exercising is a great way to stay busy. Teens that were surveyed said they were planning on spending the summer swimming and one suggested signing up for tennis, volleyball, baseball, etc. That is a great idea. The summer is a perfect time to try a sport you don’t know how to do or get better at one you do. There are also day camps kids can go to or sign them up for cooking classes, dance, drama classes or guitar lessons. They can do something science related if they are more into the sciences instead of the arts. Teens might even like to spend an afternoon at a museum and learn about a little history.

It’s spring (finally/maybe). It’s time for aspen to leaf-out, bears to come out of hibernation, bedding plants to be set out too early and rocks to fall on Colorado’s mountain roads. The winter 2008 issue of the Colorado Geological Survey’s Rock Talk! magazine is all about “Rockfall in Colorado.� It states that the most dangerous times for rockfalls are springtime, after heavy rains and at night. It isn’t so much that more rocks fall at night; it’s just that you can’t see them. The headline on one of its stories says it all-“Random Acts of Gravity? When Rockfall Happens.� The article starts out with “Gravity never sleeps in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains,� then explains: “Gravity’s constant pull is actively operating on rocks high on steep slopes. When these rocks (both large and small) become destabilized, gravity causes them to roll, slide, or fall onto adjacent valley floors. When people, buildings, vehicles, or highways are in the path, these rockfall events can lead to tragedy—property loss, personal injury, or even loss of life.� The full issue is available online at http:// geosurvey.state.co.us/pubs/Documents/ rtv11n2.pdf. Most people who have lived in Colorado’s mountains for a while probably have fallingrock stories. After nearly 14 years of driving up and down Ute Pass, I have a couple, too. Once a small rock landed on top of my car and bounced around behind me on the payment. Another time I came around a curve and had to swerve to miss a breadbox-sized rock in the middle of the right lane. Thankfully it was daytime and I was going the speed limit so I had time to get around it. In fact, lives are saved when drivers cut their speed in areas and at times when rock-
falls are likely to happen. Of course, anyone driving on Colorado’s always-under-construction highways is going to get windshield dings, road rash and sand-blasted. I ended up with about a dozen windshield dings after driving through a whirlwind pebble storm (kind of like a dust-devil but with small rocks instead of light sand or dust) at the entrance to the Cave of the Winds in Manitou Springs. And three-years of driving between Colorado Springs and Pueblo when I was in college left me with, count ‘em!, 23 rock chips. My insurance company was not happy. There was a rockfall in Ute Pass on April 23. CDOT announced that the large boulders slid or rolled into U.S. 24 rather than falling onto the pavement, which means they didn’t do much damage. Crews pushed the rocks out of the way and came back with heavy equipment a few days later to start hauling them away. Of course, not all rockfalls happen on roads. There are incidents of rocks falling on homes, businesses and trails. Thousands of mostly tiny rocks fall from the sky every day; we call them meteors if they burn up in the atmosphere and meteorites if they hit the ground. I wouldn’t worry about meteorites though; we have closer rocks to worry about.
1899-Cripple Creek train wrecks near Monument The Cripple Creek Express train, which left Cripple Creek at 3 p.m. on Dec. 29, 1899, was wrecked at a point between Monument and Palmer Lake on the Santa Fe line six hours later. Edner Jones, engineer of engine 917 hauling the fast freight from Denver, was killed, and fireman Leavitt of the freight and Engineer Turk of the Cripple Creek express train were injured. The wreck is supposed to have been caused by a failure of the orders given to the freight to locate the whereabouts of the Cripple Creek train. The latter train was supposed to have left Colorado Springs at 6:50 p.m. but was two hours and 10 minutes behind time, owing to western Colorado Midland connections. It left Colorado Springs at 9 p.m. The passengers were badly shaken up, but none was hurt. The Santa Fe continued its train traffic over the Colorado and Southern tracks, by way of Elizabeth, into Denver. At the scene of the wreck, the two engines were a mass of entangled iron and steel and were so tightly wedged that “considerable trouble will be experienced today clearing the wreck.� The wrecking train was at work shortly after midnight. Now if you are not a real student of railway history, you might wonder, why did
the wreck happen there? In 1899 a train between Cripple Creek and Denver ran four times a day, every day. Two went south through Florence and Pueblo on the Denver and Rio Grande. Two went over the Midland Terminal, then Colorado Midland to Colorado Springs and on the Santa Fe to Denver. According to the newspaper story, the delay on this train was caused, in part, by the Colorado Midland’s train from the west, which also had cars to go to Denver. The freight train, coming south from Palmer Lake should have waited for the passenger train before heading to Monument, but probably thought it had already gone by. The agent at Palmer Lake should have held it, knowing that the passenger train had not gone by.

Plans to major in biochemistry at CU-Boulder By Norma Engelberg
nengelberg@ourcoloradonews.com Lewis-Palmer High School senior Adam Schiefer knew that his college money worries were over when he received a letter from the Daniels Fund on April 24 announcing that he was a finalist for this year’s round of scholarships. “I was getting ready for work when mom gave me the letter,” he said. “It was crazy emotional. I was shaking; I couldn’t feel my face. Then two minutes later I left for work.” Schiefer, who delivers pizzas for the Monument Dominos, knew he was a semifinalist for the scholarship in January or February. He applied for the scholarship in November. “The process was kind of long,” he said. “There were a lot of forms, a few essays and I had to get recommendations.” But despite the paperwork, sending in the application was well worth it. “Now I can go to (University of Colorado) Boulder without having to worry about student loans,” he said. Schiefer took biology in ninthgrade at a school in Park City, Utah, and barely passed but, after moving to Monument in his sophomore year, he took chemistry and made good grades. “Instead of taking physics in my junior year like most students do, I took (Advanced Placement) chem-

He wants to eventually become a marine biologist. Photo by Courtesy photo istry and I loved it,” he said. “I want to earn my bachelor’s degree in biochem and then get a master’s in marine-biology. CU sends a group of students to Mexico to study coral reefs; I want to get in on that.” Schiefer attended kindergarten through sixth-grade in Utah. “Because of my mom’s job, we moved to Colorado when I was in seventh-grade and stayed here through eighth-grade,” he said. “We went back to Utah for ninthgrade and then moved back here for 10th.” His mother, Regina Schiefer, was a financial advisor but now she works
as a study-hall teacher at LewisPalmer High School. His father still lives in Utah. One might say that CU-Boulder is a family thing. Both Schiefer’s mother and older sister went there. “I always knew I wanted to go there, too,” he said. “The Daniels Fund scholarship is needs based so it will pay for everything that isn’t already covered by other scholarships or what little my mom can pay with her income. It’s essentially a full-ride for four years.” Lewis-Palmer High School and Palmer Ridge High School seniors graduate on May 24.

schedule on May 9. These drought designations also do not bode well for hay and feed prices later this year and, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the high hay prices that became common in 2012 are likely to continue in 2013. However, improved snowpack and strict water conservation will not change the fact that Colorado has a semi-arid climate where drought it the norm rather than the exception. The National Atmospheric and Oceanic Administration says weather determines what a person is wearing today, a sweater or a sleeveless shirt; while climate determines how many sweaters or sleeveless shirts are in that person’s closet. The state recently opened the Colorado Drought Response Portal, www. coh2o.co, where visitors can find information on drought and water conservation and where communities that choose to participate can post watering restriction information.

According to the Colorado Snotel Snowpack Report for the week ending May 3, recent storms have increased snowpack in several of the state’s river basins. The Upper Colorado, South Platte, Laramie and North Platte and Yampa/ White River Basins are currently between 103 and 95 percent of median. The Gunnison and Arkansas River Basins are hitting at about 75 percent of median and the Upper Rio Grande and San Miguel, Dolores, Animas and San Juan basins are 41 percent of median or less. A report from the Natural Resource Conservation Service in April said the snowpack is holding steady in all but those river basins located in southwestern Colorado.
The U.S. Drought monitor through April 30 is also showing some improvements to the drought situation in northern and northeastern Colorado, but its report is tempered by the fact that areas of severe, extreme and exceptional drought are still growing in the southeastern part of the state. According to the U.S. Drought Monitor Map for Colorado, Teller County and El Paso County are both part of that spreading drought area. Teller is mostly D-3 (extreme drought) with a small section of D-2 (severe drought) in its northern reaches. El Paso County has a sliver of D-2 in the northwest and a sliver of D-4 (exceptional drought) in the southeast. The rest of the county is D-3. That’s why cities and towns across the region are implementing water restrictions and encouraging residents to conserve water in other ways, as well. Colorado Springs moved to a two-day-a-week watering schedule more than a month ago and Woodland Park will implement a similar

‘We expect it to be $40,000 that we give to the community this year.’
lcollacott@ourcoloradonews.com The Monument Hill Foundation, the granting arm of the Monument Hill Kiwanis Club, is once again seeking applicants for the 2013-2014 granting year. The foundation will start distributing grants in October and the deadline for all grant applications is the end of June. The grants will be distributed through September of 2014. The foundation was started in 2010 and gives to many different organizations throughout Northern El Paso County. “Our priority is the Tri-Lakes area and as Kiwanians we support youth but we aren’t exclusive to it,” Scott Ross, granting direc-
Scott Ross tor, said. Over the years the foundation has supported the Tri-Lakes Health Advocacy Partnership, Tri-Lakes Views, CASA of the Pikes Peak Region, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Lewis-Palmer School District 38 Adaptive Physical Education and Griffiths Center for Children, Soap Box Derby, Ronald McDonald House Charities Mobile Clinic, TriLakes Monument Fire Protection District and the Tri-Lakes Athletic Association, plus many more.
“We think it’s important the community knows what the foundation is and what it does,” Ross added. The foundation gives mostly to nonprofits but has given to other organizations as well. Last granting year the foundation received grant requests in the amount of $70,000 and was able to give approximately $40,000 to 26 organizations. Money for the grants comes from fundraisers such as Bingo and the Palisade peach sales as well as other internal club activities. “We expect it to be $40,000 that we give to the community this year. We hope to grow that. In fact we expect to,” Ross said. To apply for a grant go to www.monumenthillfoundation.org. All applications must be in by June 30. For questions send an email to granting@monumenthillfoundation.org. Ross said this past year the foundation gave to a number of organizations that they had never given to before and they want to increase that number.

To get outdoors, walk a 5K and help out a local animal sanctuary the community is invited to participate in the Falcon Wanderers 32nd Anniversary Volksmarch. Participants can walk a 5K or 10K in Black Forest Regional Park on May 11. The walk is free except for Falcon Wanderer Club members who want to get International Federation of Popular Sports (IVV ) credit. Anyone participating is asked to support the Wild Blue Animal Rescue and Sanctuary by monetary donations or donations of cat food or kitty litter. “We thought it would be a good idea to partner with them,” Karen Seay, local club director, said. The Falcon Wanderers belong to the American Volkssport Association. Volkssports is organized, noncompetitive sporting events such as walking, swimming, biking and skiing and is geared for all ages. Volkssporting began in Germany in the 1960s. In 1968 the IVV was founded by Germany, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Austria to promote volkssports around the world. There are approximately 27 countries that are members. Volkssports were brought to the United States in 1976 and in 1979 the AVA was formed. The Falcon Wanderers started on the United States Air Force Academy in 1981. Seay said there are now more than 300 members. The club sponsors one weekend volkssport event a month. Events have taken place in Colorado Springs, Canon City, Salida, Fountain, Pueblo, the AFA, Manitou Springs, Fox Run Regional Park and the Garden of the Gods. Seay said the last volksmarch or walk had about 206 people and took place at the Garden of the Gods. “You don’t have to be a member to walk,” Seay said. “Anybody that wants to get out and walk and enjoy nature can come out and walk.” Members wishing to get IVV credit will have to pay $3 to participate in the walk. Walkers can start anytime between 9:00 a.m. and noon at pavilion one at the Black Forest Regional Park on Shoup Road and be finished by 3:00 p.m. Wild Blue will have several of their cats up for adoption at the event. “We at Wild Blue Animal Rescue are thrilled to be joining the local AVA club for their walk on May 11th! We appreciate this chapter’s continued support of our activities and of our rescue animals,” Lauri Cross, executive director of Wild Blue, said. “We will bring several of our adoptable cats and kittens to the walk. In addition to having cats and kittens for adoption we will have a table for folks to get more information about our rescue, donate, purchase items and learn about volunteering and fostering for us. Those interested can also check out our kitties at www.wbars.org and just click on Adopt!” To sign up for the walk or learn more about the Falcon Wanderers visit their website at www.falconwanderers.org or send an email to walking@falconwanderers.org.

Mountain lion activity up in Ute Pass Residents living in lion country should take precautions By Norma Engelberg
nengelberg@ourcoloradonews.com Over the last three or four weeks there have been at least four verified cases of one or more mountain lions catching and eating pet dogs in the area between Chipita Park and Crystola. “Mountain lion activities have increased in this area in recent weeks,” said Michael Seraphin, public information officer for Colorado Parks and Wildlife. “We don’t know if it is a single animal doing the killing or if it’s a loose family group with a female and older cubs.” Seraphin said lions, especially the males are great travelers; a 500-square-mile area is probably at the top of their range but they have been known to travel farther. “We had a documented case several years ago of a mountain lion hit by a train in Oklahoma that was wearing a tag from Yellow Stone, Wyo.,” he said. “That isn’t typical. What is typical is that they will stay in one part of their range as long as food is available and then move to a different part of the range.”
Mountain lion food is a big category. “They’ll pretty much eat any small to medium size mammal,” Seraphin said. “Their natural source is usually deer but they will eat dogs, goats, alpacas, even chickens if they can get them.” He suggested that homeowners keep their small livestock or outside dogs in covered pens or kennels or inside barns from dusk to dawn, the lions’ preferred time to hunt. “You want to keep the lions out and it protects your animals from more than one kind of carnivore,” he said. “It’s extremely rare for lions to attack people. We’ve found that they typically consider four-legged animals as prey and twolegged animals, humans, as dangerous but you should still keep small children close and supervised while they are outdoors. Better safe than sorry.” He said that humans can’t always say that a particular species was living in the habitat first but in the case of mountain lions in Ute Pass that’s probably true. “We share the habitat,” he said. “You have to take precautions. You can hope they’ll go away but if they do they’ll be back.” For more information about mountain lions, read or download “Living with Wildlife in Lion Country,” available at www.wildlife.state.co.us or the local Colorado Parks and Wildlife office in Colorado Springs.
Citizens urged to be ready for season Important information for protecting yourself and your home as fire season approaches Special to The Tribune We frequently see the charred mountainside that serves as a grim reminder of last year’s Waldo Canyon Fire. It has been predicted that this year’s risk of major forest fires is greater than last because of our extreme drought conditions. To address this extreme risk the Tri-Lakes Women’s Club, in cooperation with the Monument and Wescott Fire Departments, are holding two programs that will give you and your community vital information on how to protect

it’s your worst case scenario. She said they also discovered in the aftermath of the Waldo Canyon Fire they underestimated how much planning they needed to help businesses. The business community was hit really hard. Russell reminded people to go over their insurance policies and take inventory in their homes. Many people in the Waldo Canyon Fire found out they were underinsured.
Mitigation and defensible space
Root talked about mitigation and creating a defensible space around a home. He said the basic idea for defensible space is to keep the fire on the ground around a home where it produces less heat and less extreme fire behavior that threatens a house. He said there should be space in the upper crowns of the trees of the forest. “If you walk through your yard or lay on your back in the yard and you see more trees than sky you’re probably in trouble. What you should be seeing is a lot more sky than tree limbs. If you see more trees than sky you
yourselves and your homes in the event of an impending forest fire disaster. Handouts will be provided that contain a checklist to assess the safety of your home and property and also one that describes important items to take with you in case you are told to evacuate. The programs will take place as follows: Saturday, May 11 10:00 a.m-Noon Lewis-Palmer High School Auditorium Tuesday, May 14 6:30-8:30 p.m. Palmer Lake Town Hall The presentations will feature John Vincent, fire marshal from the Tri-Lakes Monument Fire District and Margo Humes, fire marshal from the Wescott Fire District. They are free of charge and open to the public. need to do something to separate those tree crowns so that a fire can’t simply come at your house with a 100 foot flame length through the tops of the trees. There’s no stopping a fire like that,” Root said. He also talked about ladder fuels which are shrubs, low hanging limbs, lawn furniture under the trees or any other kind of fuel that a fire on the ground would use as a ladder to climb to the tops of the trees. “A well-managed, well maintained forest suffers less damage from a wild fire. It (also) gives the firefighters a safer place to work,” Root said. Root said homeowners should have 15-30 feet of defensible space around their home, more if their house sits on a slope. Most of the trees and vegetation should be removed from that area. He said homeowners should remove trees from near the deck and there should be approximately 10 feet of space between the widest branches of a tree from the one next to it. He also recommended that oak brush be removed about 50-60 feet away from the footprint of a structure. Homeowners should also remove flammables from under the deck, move woodpiles away from the house and clean the gutters of all leaves, twigs and pine needles.

Respect nature’s baby wildlife Special to The Tribune
Colorado Parks and Wildlife Despite the wintry weather in many parts of the state, spring is here, and with it comes the arrival of baby birds and mammals to Colorado. It’s a good time to remind citizens that newborn wildlife may be found in their yards, along trails, or in open spaces, and the best advice is to leave them alone. Each year, Colorado Parks and Wildlife receives scores of calls from concerned humans about wildlife that have been “abandoned” by adult animals. Many are tempted to “help” a young animal by picking it up or trying to feed it, however it is critical that people understand there is no substitute for their natural parents. Wildlife experts agree that it is quite normal for adult animals to leave their young in a safe place while they go forage for food. And often baby birds are learning to fly or fledging, near their nests when they are deemed abandoned. While well-meaning people sometimes gather up this baby wildlife and bring them to wildlife rehabilitation facilities, it is often the wrong thing to do. “Baby mammals are nearly scentless in order to prevent predators from finding them,” said Janet George, senior terrestrial biologist for CPW. “When humans touch these animals, they are imparting them with a scent their adults will not recognize or even fear. This can result in true abandonment of healthy offspring.”
Red fox kits like these are often endangered by well-meaning humans taking them away from where their parent left them. Please call Colorado Parks and Wildlife before intervening on wildlife’s behalf. Photo by Courtesy photo by Donna Forest Baby birds are a different story. They can be moved out of harm’s way or placed back in the nest if they are songbirds. However, do not try this with raptors! Great-horned owls and other raptors are territorial and have been known to fly at humans seen as a threat to their young. If you find young wildlife, enjoy a quick glimpse, leave the animal where it is, and keep pets out of the area. Quietly observe the animal from a distance using binoculars and don’t hover so close
that the wild parents are afraid to return to the area. “If 24 hours go by and the parent does not return, it is possible the newborn was abandoned or something happened to the adult animal,” said Jenny Campbell, customer service expert with CPW. “Call our office and we will work with a certified wildlife rehabilitation center to get aid for the wildlife if possible. Don’t move the animal yourself.” “It’s hard to stand back when your instincts are telling you to do something,” said Lea Pe-

shock, animal care supervisor at Greenwood Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. “But the best chance these animals truly have is staying in the wild.” “The most important rule to follow when you encounter a baby mammal or songbird that you suspect may be abandoned is to wait at a distance and observe,” Peshock said. “There is a vast amount of information on our website, http://www.greenwoodwildlife.org/foundananimal. php, to help people determine if an animal is truly orphaned, be-
cause it’s not always easy to tell.” If it’s established that the animal is an orphan, remember not to feed it or even give it water. This can be a very hard rule to follow but there are good reasons behind it. “The animal can aspirate or consume the wrong type of food and die. If you feed a cold animal, it can die. Given there are so many variables, the most important thing you can do for it is let it be assessed by a licensed wildlife rehabilitator,” Peshock said. “As much as we feel the natural pull to help animals that we think are in trouble, sometimes it’s best to just leave the animal be.” In addition to potential harm for wildlife, humans need to recognize the potential harm to people and pets, as well. There can be risks associated with the handling of wildlife animals, including disease transmission of rabies, distemper or other illnesses. Wildlife can also carry fleas that might subsequently spread disease to humans or pets. Finally, it is imperative for Coloradans to understand that it is illegal to own or possess wildlife in the state. People can avoid heartache if they don’t “adopt” the cute baby raccoon or skunk. Humanraised and hand-fed animals are rarely returned to the wild due to their lack of survival skills or imprint on humans. Licensed wildlife rehabilitators are trained to use methods that will give a wild animal the best chance of surviving upon release.

Palmer Ridge Earns No. 1 Seed in 4A Girls Soccer Playoffs TCA EARNS NO. 1 SEED IN 3A
The Classical Academy is the No. 1 seed in 3A By Danny Summers MONUMENT – Despite not winning its league, the Palmer Ridge High School girls soccer team got a very favorable draw in the upcoming Class 4A state playoffs. The Bears (11-3-1) are the No. 3 overall seed. They opened the playoffs Tuesday at home against Woodland Park (10-4-1). Results of that game were not available at press time. “We’re pretty confident with whoever we play,” said Palmer Ridge coach Nick Odil. “We don’t change when we play somebody else. We make them adjust to our style.” The Bears closed their regular season with a 3-2 non-league victory over 5A Doherty on May 2 on senior night. Palmer Ridge got second-half goals from seniors Taylor Schnorr and Madison Thomas to rally the club. Sophomore MacKenzie Gouner scored the third goal.Palmer Ridge finished second in Pikes Peak Athletic Conference behind Cheyenne Mountain (12-2-1), which earned the No. 1 overall seed in the tournament. The two teams would not meet until the finals if they both advance that far. “Cheyenne Mountain is a very good team,” Odil said. “Our league was very

I think we’re all aiming for a state championship, which is what we should want to do.” Also advancing to the 4A playoffs are Lewis-Palmer (9-5-1) and Discovery Canyon (8-5-2). The clubs ended in a tie for fifth-place in the Pikes Peak Athletic Con-
ference, but were looked upon favorably by the selection committee and earned enough wild-card points for consideration. No. 11 Lewis-Palmer hosted No. 22 Wheat Ridge (10-4-1) on Tuesday. Meanwhile, No. 21 Discovery Canyon played at No. 12 Durango (10-4-1) on Tuesday.
The Classical Academy Titans (11-21) earned the No. 1 overall seed in 3A and open the playoffs Friday at home against No. 32 Sheridan (11-4). If TCA wins, it plays on Saturday against the winner between No. 16 Sterling (11-2-1) and No. 17 St. Mary’s Academy (7-6-2). “I’m pleased with our seed, but I don’t put a whole lot into it,” said TCA coach Blake Galvin. “We have a lot of work to do.” This marks the second time in the last four seasons that TCA has earned the No. 1 seed. The Titans were the No. 1 seed in 2010, but lost the state championship game. They were the No. 2 seed in 2011 when they won their first state title. “We’ve got a tough bracket,” Galvin said. “Even our second round game could be tough. Both of those teams are very good.” Freshman Mikayla Murphy leads TCA in goals with 13. Also with double figures in goals are seniors Joanie Jacks (11) and Meghan Troupe (10). Troupe leads the team in assists with 12. Other key Titans players on offense include seniors Caitlyn Troupe (four goals, seven assists), junior Bonnie Buzzetta (three goals, three assists) and senior Kierra Mattingly (three goals, two assists). Galvin said his club is a little beat up, but should be fine by Friday. “By the time the playoffs hit we’ll be 100 percent,” Galvin said.

Two-time Olympian Simpson moves back to Boulder Simpson was a resident of Monument since 2011 By Danny Summers Two-time Olympian Jenny Simpson has left the Tri-Lakes area and has moved back to Boulder to continue her training. Simpson, who competed at Beijing and London in 2008 and 2012, respectively, sold her home in the Jackson Creek area of Monument and took up residence in Boulder earlier this year. Simpson, 26, is working under the direction – again – of University of Colorado coaches Heather Burroughs and Mark Wetmore. It was under their watch that Simpson became the top U.S. woman in the steeplechase. “Things ran their course there. It was time to go back to my roots,” Simpson said of her move back to Boulder. Simpson qualified for the 2008 Beijing Games in the steeplechase. She was enrolled at CU at the time and qualified for the U.S. Olympic team by finishing third in the steeplechase. At Beijing, she qualified for the first women’s steeplechase final in Olympic history by finishing third in her heat. She set a new American record of nine minutes, 22.26 seconds in the final and placed ninth overall. “In college, Jenny was naïve and wasn’t a great tactician,” Burroughs said. “In the last four years, she’s run some good races and disappointing races. She’s matured a lot.” Simpson made the move to the 1,500 meters around 2010 and excelled. She moved to Monument in early 2011 to work with former Olympic runner Juli Benson. Later in 2011, Simpson became the first American woman in almost 30 years to win the World Championship in the 1,500 when she crossed the finish line first in Deagu, South Korea, with a time of 4:4.30. “I crossed the finish line and realized I was the first one here,” she said. “I was in shock.” The last American woman to win the World Championships was the famed Mary Decker Slaney. “Going through the press line after the Championships a bunch of people were saying it’s been so long,” said Simpson, who is 5-feet-5 and weighs 110 pounds. “Somebody said‘1983.’ I thought ‘That was before I was born.” Simpson was riding a high following her

match, but still qualified for the state tournament as the No. 2 team. “They are probably the hardest hitting (No. 4) doubles team I’ve ever had,” Hiester said. “They hit the ball well and they move well.” Palmer Ridge had finished third in the regional in 2011 and 2012. The Bears failed to qualify anybody for state last year. Palmer Ridge is enjoying its best season in school history. The Bears swept cross-town rival LewisPalmer, 7-0, on April 27 as well as Discovery Canyon, 7-0, on April 13 in Pikes Peak Athletic Conference matches this season. Neither of those teams qualified anybody for the state tournament. “We’re happy to be queens of the hill,” Hiester said. “It was important for us to go
into (regional) seeding with as many points as possible. The talk wasn’t so much to beat up on L-P, but the girls went out and did a great job.” The Bears’ only league loss this season was to Air Academy, 2-5, on April 24. Among the Bears’ other top players this season were senior Shannon Babcock (No. 1 singles, qualified for state as a freshman), sophomore Julia Kerr and junior Kristine Pegues (No. 2 doubles), junior Emily Parker and freshman Katie Corkey (No. 2 doubles) and junior Shale Perconti and freshman Sandra Luksic (No. 3 doubles). The state tournament will be held at City Park in Pueblo. It gets underway Thursday and runs through Saturday. The semifinals are set for Friday morning.
