DCC students visit space for a day Third annual Space Day gets students interested in space and potential careers By Lisa Collacott
lcollacott@ourcoloradonews.com It’s interesting to find out what happens to a balloon filled with air when it is placed in a bowl of liquid nitrogen. Elementary students at Discovery Canyon Campus learned that the balloon deflates and when taken out of the liquid nitrogen it fills back up with air. This experiment is one of the many activities that K-12 students at DCC took part in during the third annual Space Day. Topics and experiments ranged from physics, space, chemistry, the Mars Rover, robotics, astrobiology, rocket science and satellites and guests included speakers from the Challenger Learning Center, the Air Force Academy physics and aeronautical engineering department, a NASA astronaut, Cool Science, Center for STEM Education at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, the Space Foundation and Mohawk guy, also known as the Mars

Monument town manager Cathy Green has been asked by the Monument board of trustees to resign from her position. Her resignation was effective Jan. 11. Green, who has been working for the town of Monument for nearly eight years, said she did not know the reasons behind the board’s decision but she was asked to resign and did. “I asked why and they didn’t want to talk about it,” Green said. Green said the board isn’t required to give her a reason. Green She said according to her employment contract the board of trustees can let her go and give a reason for the termination but she wouldn’t be entitled to any severance or they can let her go and give no reason and allow her to take settlement compensation. She said the board may be going in a different direction with the town than when she was first brought on as town manager. A different board was in place at the time she was hired for the position. Green was originally hired as the town planner. Prior to working for Monument she worked as a city planner in Pueblo for 13 years. As the town manager Green helped implement town policies and the enforcement of laws and ordinances, worked on the budget and also worked closely with the police department and public works. She was considered a contract employee and made an estimated $102,000 per year. Monument Mayor Travis Easton said he could not comment on Green’s resignation but in an email did state that he would like “everyone to know that the board of trustees takes their job very seriously and places the taxpayers at the forefront of every decision.” Green is not sure what she will do next but lives in Monument and would like to continue to work with the downtown merchants.
County Commissioners approves ban on retail pot stores Ordinance passed, does not affect medical marijuana facilities By Lisa Collacott
lcollacott@ourcoloradonews. com El Paso County Commissioners approved an ordinance banning retail stores of recreational marijuana in unincorporated El Paso County. Despite a public hearing in which many citizens spoke out against the ordinance and asked the commissioners to wait and receive direction from the state, commissioners approved the ordinance during the Jan. 15 BOCC meeting. This is the second and final reading of the ordinance. The first reading was approved at the
Dec. 18 meeting. Commissioner Peggy Littleton voted against the ordinance both times. The ordinance prohibits the operation of marijuana cultivation facilities, product manufacturing facilities, testing facilities and retail stores in unincorporated El Paso County. The ban does not affect medical marijuana facilities. Additionally the ban does not apply to areas within incorporated municipalities of Colorado Springs, Monument, Palmer Lake, Green Mountain Falls, Manitou Springs, Fountain, Calhan and Ramah. Those jurisdictions can develop their own regulations according to Amendment 64.
With many citizens asking commissioners to carefully consider holding off on approving the ban, one citizen asked commissioners to be leaders in the state and to not sit around and wait to see what the state is going to do. Littleton opposed the ban saying the BOCC should hold off on the ordinance and give careful consideration and not act in haste. She said although she did not vote for Amendment 64 her district overwhelmingly voted for it and she told her constituents she would represent them. Littleton’s district sits within the city of Colorado Springs. “I am willing to propose that we take this and look at this in the

By Lisa Collacott
lcollacott@ourcoloradonews.com Lewis-Palmer School District 38 is moving forward with the security and safety council that they are putting together. During the Jan. 17 school board meeting Assistant Superintendent of Operations Cheryl Wangeman reported that they have
input regarding new or enhanced security systems including cameras, doors and panic buttons. The council is being formed in response to the mass shooting at a Newtown, CT elementary school in December and will be made up of 10-15 citizens who have some type of expertise in the area of security and safety. Wangeman said she has spoken with people who have said that if the district needs any kind of expertise they can find it in Monument. “There are leaders in this area with national and international experience (who) are coming to our aid. So I think that’s going
to be great” Wangeman said. Wangeman also added that district staff members are bringing great ideas forth as well. “People are taking things seriously and certainly stepping up to the plate as always,” Wangeman said. “Interest in our safety and security is still very high for all the right reasons. We’re having good discussions in every one of our buildings as far as making sure we’re very clear about what’s in place now and are there things we can do better,” Borman said. The application deadline is Jan. 23.
Accident on I-25 claims one life Smoke detector saves home, family Car rolled at Baptist Road on-ramp
ries. Both were wearing seatbelts. In a press release sent out by CSP the Mazda was travelling southbound on I-25 when it veered onto the narrow eastern shoulder. The driver overcorrected as she attempted to bring the car back to its lane causing the Mazda to begin rotating clockwise. The Mazda continued to spin across the southbound lanes before it travelled off the western edge of the road. The Mazda went across a grassy median that separates the lanes of the interstate from the on-ramp to Baptist Road and began to overturn when it reached the onramp. The car continued to roll across the on-ramp and down an embankment before it came to rest on its wheels facing north. State troopers believe alcohol was a contributing factor and the accident remains under investigation.

Black Forest home received minimal damage By Lisa Collacott
lcollacott@ourcoloradonews.com A Black Forest home received minimal damage in an early morning fire. Residents of the home were awakened by the smoke detector around 1:00 a.m. on Jan. 15. As they entered the living room they noticed a small amount of smoke coming from the wall around the edge of the fireplace mantel and the wall above the fireplace was hot to the touch. They immediately left the house and called 9-1-1.
Kathy Russell, public information officer for Black Forest Fire and Rescue said in a press release that firefighters arrived on scene assisted by Wescott Fire Protection District and the Tri-Lakes Monument Fire Protection District. She said firefighters broke open the drywall at the hottest spot and extinguished the small fire that had begun to char the wall framing. Firefighters also used an advanced thermal imaging camera to determine were the fire was hidden. Russell credits the quick action by firefighters, the smoke detector and the clear thinking of the residents for the fire resulting in minimal damage. At this time the cause of the fire is unknown.

Texas Longhorns ride the streets Local Monument herd draws a crowd in Denver By Mike Searle
Special to the Tribune With local ranchers “riding point,” a herd of Texas Longhorn cattle from Monument, ambled down 17th Street last week, providing the main attraction in the annual Stock Show parade. Encouraged by temperate weather, a crowd estimated at 25,000 lined sidewalks from Union Station to Tremont, to get a close up view of the big horned cattle. This re-enactment of the trail drives of 140 years ago utilizes cattle from Searle Ranch, which has its headquarters a few miles east of Monument. The Longhorn cattle with their sweeping horns and variety of colors - genetic trademarks that go back 500 years - are direct descendants of Spanish cattle brought to the Americas by Columbus. Now some 70 Colorado ranchers raise these historic cattle — which a century ago were nearer extinction than the bison. Contributing to the appeal of the Longhorns, besides the genetically lean meat, spectacular horns and color, is a special connection with Colorado history. After multiplying into millions in the brush lands of the Gulf Coast, Longhorns were rounded up after the Civil War to feed a depleted nation. Millions of head were driven north to railheads like Dodge City, Abilene and Ogallala to be shipped to eastern markets. Thousands more were trailed north to stock the farms and ranches from California to Canada. Famous Texas Ranger and trailblazer Charles Goodnight, with partner Oliver
Modern day Texas Longhorns provide excellent lean beef for American families, as well as the spectacular horns that gave them their name. This bull co-owned by Searle Ranch has horns measuring over seven feet, tip-to-tip. Loving, established a trail through New Mexico, over Raton Pass into Colorado Territory. Passing just east of the present site of Colorado Springs and following Cherry Creek, drovers brought the Longhorns into Denver. As a footnote to history, it was the epic journey of Goodnight and Loving that inspired the McMurtry book and film, Lonesome Dove. Stan and Lorna Searle raise Texas Longhorns on their Monument ranch and on several thousand acres near Ellicott. In addition to providing registered breeding stock to ranches across the country, they sell packaged grass fed beef to an expanding customer base. Providing Longhorns for the National Western Stock Show “not only promotes the event, but helps remind folks that the Western way of life is still alive,” says Stan. “Ranching and cowboys are still a vital part of the Colorado economy.” A Texas Longhorn steer was literally the center of attention at last weekend’s Wild West Show in Denver, as the history of today’s beef industry was traced to the great
Longhorns and cowboys provided a lunch hour spectacle for office workers as well as visitors to downtown Denver during last week’s Texas Longhorn cattle drive. Photos by Mike Searle northern migration of its ancestors. In the spotlight was a young steer with six-foot horns. He is also being featured this week in the closing ceremony of the National Western professional rodeo, with two performances per day through this Sunday. Registered Longhorns from Searle Ranch will also compete with cattle from Colorado and other states at the National Western this week. While the genetically lean Longhorns maintain a foothold in the ranching business, Searle notes that they have been mostly replaced by other breeds selected for the ability to assimilate grain and corn in the feedlot. Searle Ranch is among a handful of pro-
ducers that raise cattle strictly on grass, without the steroids, hormones or antibiotics used to achieve rapid growth. “Health conscious consumers tend to favor our naturally raised, 100 percent grass fed meat,” he says, “to the point that it’s sometimes a challenge to maintain availability.” The next occasion for a “downtown Longhorn cattle drive” will be in Colorado Springs on Friday, July 5 when Stan Searle and his ranch manager and partner Gary Lake, of Ellicott, Colorado will lead cowboys and cattle down Tejon St. to promote the Working Ranch Cowboys Rodeo and the annual Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo.

Wings of Blue wins medal at national competition Special to The Tribune The United States Air Force Academy’s Wings of Blue parachute team won 46 medals and set five national collegiate records at the National Collegiate Parachute Competition in Eloy Ariz., recently. Wings of Blue skydivers took home 13 gold, 18 silver and 15 bronze medals at the competition which took place from Dec. 29 to Jan. 2. The Air Force Legacy team set a record for most points ever scored in a single round of four-way competition skydiving. Bill Wenger, part of the Air Force Wild Team, set two records with his build in speed in the six-way acrobatics category. Cadet 1st Class Dustin Weeks, who won the outstanding competitor award, set the record for best average score in sport accuracy and most consecutive dead-centers in the same category with four deadcenters.

The Wings of Green, Wings of Blue’s training team, augmented the team during the competition, allowing this level of success to continue for many years to come, said Master Sgt. Bryan Stokes, the 98th Flying Training Squadron superintendent. “The Wings of Green made a commitment to take things to a whole different level,” Stokes said. “Their work ethic and dedication was the best I’ve ever seen.” The 98th FTS operates the Wings of Blue, which comprises 75 cadets and approximately 35 staff members. The team performs more than 40 nationwide demonstrations annually to an estimated combined audience of 12 million people. The 98th FTS also operates the Air Force’s most prolific parachute program, executing 20,000 jumps and 3,500 UV-18B flight hours each year. The program allows more than 800 cadets per year the opportunity to earn their basic parachutist badge.

nengelberg@ourcoloradonews.com Heritage, the official magazine of History Colorado, gave Palmer Lake an eight-page spread, complete with historic photos, in its January/ February 2013 edition. The article, “Palmer Lake-Remembering the `Chautauqua of the West’” by George U. Hubbard, calls this small town on the Palmer Divide the “cultural and recreational center of the Rockies.” It briefly touches on the days when the Ute, Arapaho, Kiowa, Cheyenne and other American Indian nations called Palmer Lake home but it focuses on the town’s development that started
with the railroads. The lake that gave the town its name, previously called Divide Lake, Summit Lake and Loch Lomond, appeared on maps as Palmer Lake in 1884. Even though the name wasn’t set, the area was already a recreational destination by 1873 when the Rocky Mountain News extolled its virtues as “beautiful picnic grounds on the Divide.” The article also mentions the many historical characters who were prominent in the area, including William J. Palmer, who started the Denver & Rio Grande narrow-gauge railroad that brought visitors to the area; and Dr. William Finley Thompson who became the town’s first mayor when it incorporated in 1889. Thompson also built the Estemere mansion, starting in 1887. The town got its name, “Chautauqua of the West,” when from 1886-1910 the town offered a series of summer classes, lectures, concerts and other cultural and recreational programs based
on the pattern established by Bishop John H. Vincent in Lake Chautauqua, N.Y. The Rocky Mountain Chautauqua Assembly ended with the advent of the automobile. Other notables mentioned in the article were B.E. Jack, founder of Palmer Lake’s 500-foot, fivepoint star, which is still lit at Christmas, Fourth of July and on other important occasions; and Lucretia Vaile who founded the town’s annual Yule Log Hunt. Vaile left a bequest that started the Palmer Lake Art Group and the Palmer Lake Historical Society runs the Lucretia Vaile Museum.

Changes coming to GED More expensive, better college preparation By Norma Engelberg
nengelberg@ourcoloradonews.com The GED testing program will see big changes in 2014. The GED test was first offered to soldiers returning from World War II in 1942. It began offering testing for high-school diplomas to civilians in 1947. It was last updated about 10 years ago. The 2014 Series test is being touted by the GED Testing Service, a division of the American Council on Education, as “a stepping-stone to a brighter future.” The current test, the 2002 Series, covers language arts-reading, language artswriting, mathematics, science and social studies. Students enrolled in classes for the current series should plan to take the tests before the end of 2013. Those who don’t finish the program in 2013 will have to start over, studying for the 2014 Series test, which will cover four core study areas: literacy, mathematics, science, and social studies. The new test, which was created in partnership with Pearson LLC, a United Kingdom company that specializes in education curricula and assessment programs, will be computer-based and will require computer and keyboarding skills. According to a “Conversation about the GED® 21st Century Initiative,” delivered in
September, 2011, accommodations will be made for people with special needs. While it will be computer-based, it won’t be available over the Internet but only at official testing sites. Just as in previous tests, those who pass the new GED test will earn a high-school equivalency diploma. However, according to the testing service they will also be more likely to have gained skills that will help them compete in a two-year or four-year college or vocational school. While the GED curricula will be more rigorous and will likely be better for students, especially those who plan to move on to higher education, that rigor might also make it more difficult for some students to pass. The increased cost of the test will impact those who will be paying for the curricula and testing, the individual taking the test and the organizations offering it. Tri-Lakes Cares will pay the testing fees of its clients but the nonprofit organization is neither a study center nor a testing site. The current testing fee is $150. “We refer our clients who need a highschool diploma to one of three organizations,” said Tri-Lakes Cares program manager Diana Brown. “We just don’t have many clients in this area who need GED.” These organizations are Urban Peak at www.urbanpeak.org or 719-630-3223, Aspen Pointe at www.aspenpointe.org or 719-896-0013, and School District 11 Adult and Family Education at http://adulted. d11.org/Pages/default.aspx or 719-3283000.

in haste,” Commissioner Sallie Clark told Littleton. “We are doing this in a thoughtful process and trying to get our arms around it.” In unincorporated areas of the county 55 percent of voters voted against Amendment 64. Commissioner Darryl Glenn, whose district 1 covers a large area of unincorporated El Paso County, said there are legal issues that need to be addressed. “We clearly have a situation where federal law and our state constitution are in conflict. And if you look at case law, if you look at the interpretation of this, it is very clear that the United States Constitution takes precedent on this particular issue,” Glenn said. “We have a responsibility as policy makers here that if we somehow send a signal that we are not going to follow federal law it is within the federal government’s authority to withhold any sort of funding any grants.” Glenn the county is putting their finger in the chest of the federal government and
“We are doing this in a thoughtful process and trying to get our arms around it.” Commissioner Sallie Clark saying they need direction and clear guidance by passing the ordinance. “This gives us time to reflect and see what’s going to happen at the state level by putting something like this in place by not allowing it until we know what it is we are allowing,” Clark said. A governor-appointed task force has been put together to come up with its recommendations to the state by February. Retail licenses for recreational marijuana won’t be accepted by the state until at least October.

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS
Cattle mutilations, cults and ‘copters The fall of 1975 was a troubled one for cattlemen and livestock owners in this area. Collective nerves across the state and the rest of the western region were frayed by unexplained cattle mutilations. Speculation of the origin was rampant. El Paso County Undersheriff Gary Gibs, whose office was coordinating the original investigation with the assistance of the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, reported as many 60 mutilations had occurred in Colorado since April of that year, according to an August 10 Rocky Mountain News story by Kathy Gosliner. U.S. Atty. Robert G. Renner had initiated a probe from his office in Minneapolis utilizing agents from the U.S. Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms Division and Governor Richard Lamm called the mutilations “one of the greatest outrages in the history of the western cattle industry.” Regardless of what evidence he was able to offer, Renner attributed the phenomena to cult activity. “I am convinced there was involvement in some areas,” he said, adding there is “some indication” that certain cultists are involved and travel from state to state, as reported in the News story at the time. For weeks on end, bold headlines in the Tri-Lakes Tribune proclaimed the attention-grabbing possibilities. “Vigilantes? vs Satan Worshippers” and “Knifed - After Death” or “$10,000 Reward” and “Mutilated
Bull Staggers - Dies.” U.S. Senator Floyd Haskell asked the Denver office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to intervene and the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association and other livestock organizations contributed to the reward fund. One story in the Tribune suggested that a helicopter has been used by the mutilators. “Approximately 10 p.m., Monday (Aug. 11, 1975,) the foreman of the Newman Ranch, south and a little east of Franktown, just off Highway 83, along with the ranch owners saw a helicopter land within their 2000 (plus) acre ranch,” says the Tribune. “The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office and the Colorado State Patrol were notified and they converged on the Newton ranch. Private vehicles from the ranch aided in the search -- to no avail. Search called off at 11:10 p.m., approximately.” Even Colorado State University was drawn into the controversy when a nec-
ropsy report completed by veterinary staff at the vet school in Fort Collins came to the conclusion that animals sent there for study by investigators were `cut with a knife” several hours after death. Earlier mentions of such mutilations, such as the 1967 Alamosa case of “Snippy,” (the horse’s real name was Lady) reported initially in the Pueblo Chieftain, rose to the surface again and the incidents were blamed variously on UFOs, the government, cults, scavenger animals and even some of the investigating agencies. The reward package from stock growing organizations eventually climbed to $25,000. A report in mid-September in the Cripple Creek Gold Rush said Teller County Sheriff’s Department had reportedly confirmed two more mysterious cattle mutilations. “Sheriff Gary D. Shoemaker said Thursday three color photographs, taken by private citizens between Cripple Creek and Florissant with a 35 mm camera, clearly show an unidentified blue helicopter with an unusual V-type tail system. A plain white spot on the side of the craft appears to be some type of material to cover identification numbers.” “The blue helicopter shown in the photographs identically fits descriptions provided by at least six different witnesses last week. A similar chopper was observed near Gillett Sunday and Cripple Creek mountain estates on Wednesday,” reported the Gold
Rush and the Summit County Journal. “The Sheriff said he is further convinced the blue helicopter visible in three photographs is somehow involved in the mutilations, and that a ground crew is also assisting the helicopter pilot.” That same week the Pagosa Springs Sun had account of an additional incident in Hinsdale County on the Upper Piedra River and a few weeks later, a former publisher of the Brush Banner, Dane Edwards, who was working on a book about the cattle mutilations, was reported missing. He was never located but also left a substantial trail of unpaid financial obligations. Additional mutilation reports swirled around Colorado and the rest of the West for much of the remaining decade. In 1979, under pressure from organizations and the public wanting a definitive answer to what was going on; the FBI launched an investigation led by agent Kenneth Rommel. His report, costing nearly $45,000 and encompassing 297 pages concluded, with a few unexplained exceptions, that the mutilations were the result of animals dying through conventional means and experiencing natural predation or other documented phenomena. That report was supported by other federal, state and local investigation conclusions offered by ATF and some local investigators. Others, however dispute the findings to this day.
Insomnia: A struggle to catch some zzzz’s at night Another night spent tossing and turning, waking up practically every hour and just as sleep has finally taken over there is the shrill sound of the alarm clock. Sound familiar? We have all suffered from sleepless nights some time or another, some of us more than others. It’s called insomnia. People who have in insomnia have difficulty falling asleep and they wake up often and can’t get back to sleep. According to www.medicinenet.com insomnia occurs in 30 to 50 percent of the population. At least 10 percent suffer from chronic insomnia. There are two types of insomnia, acute and chronic. Acute insomnia is usually brought on by life stress including job change or job loss, a divorce or death of a loved one, illness, emotional or physical discomfort, environmental factors and any interference in normal sleep.

physical discomfort. Because of my arm and hand I find it hard to get comfortable and it takes forever to fall asleep. And once I do I am constantly waking up. My husband is suffering from insomnia lately as well but he falls asleep easily and then wakes up at 2:00 or 3:00 a.m. and can’t go back to sleep. Insomnia is more than just a nuisance. It can be debilitating. It can cause fatigue, sleepiness, mood changes, poor attention and concentration, lack of energy, anxiety and headaches and can lead to one making increased errors and mistakes. So what can people who suffer from insomnia do to avoid it? Many people take prescription medication or over-the-counter medicines to help them sleep. Other people prefer to try a more natural approach and might take supplements containing melatonin, valerian root, bitter orange or St. John’s wort. I prefer drinking
chamomile tea. Others try yoga or meditation and some might soak in a warm bath. Medicinenet.com has some tips to avoid insomnia. They recommend having the right mattress to sleep on. Another tip is reconditioning one’s brain to associate the bed with sleep. That means don’t use the bed for watching television or reading. Get up at the same time every morning including on the weekends. Avoid taking naps because it will just be harder to fall asleep when it’s time for bed. Limit caffeine intake, especially in the evening. Coffee and soft drinks aren’t the only items that contain caffeine. Chocolate and hot cocoa contain it as well. Avoid alcohol and exercise during the day, not right before bedtime. Don’t eat heavily in the evening and before bedtime start to wind down and relax. Sorry but counting sheep didn’t make the list.
Will printed books disappear? A few weeks LinkedIn for Journalists started an extended discussion about the possible demise of printed books. The question was: “Are printed books really going to become obsolete?” For most of the journalists in the group the answer was “I hope not.” United Kingdom journalist Sue Fenton summed up my feelings on the subject nicely when she wrote: “I enjoy reading books but for me part of the enjoyment is pottering along to the bookshop or charity shop and browsing the shelves, picking up books, looking at them, selecting the one I like best. I spend more than enough time looking at a screen during the day; when I take a book to bed at night I want to relax and I don’t think I could do that by staring at yet another screen. I’m told that e-books are great for taking on holiday, but who wants to be stressing about whether their Kindle, or whatever it is, is going to be stolen or lost, or fall into the pool? Give me a proper book anytime!” I would have added another drawback: the discomfort of dropping the e-reader on your face when you nod off. I also totally agree with Lynn Greiner, a Canadian freelance writer. He writes: “The scary thing about this digital library replacing paper concept is that bytes and file formats are transient. I have paper books from the 1700s, and I can still read them. Just try to read a document from 20 years ago, if it happened to have been produced in WordStar or some other now obsolete format. And reading paper books does not rely on my reader being charged.” I might not have books from the 1700s but I do have books from the early 1800s.
They’re a little wordy but I can still read them. Unfortunately, some of my own articles and columns are likely gone forever either because I no longer have the software to read them or because of hardware changes. I try to transfer my archived articles and photos from old media to new media whenever I can, floppy disk to Zip drive to CD and now to DVD, for example, but sometimes the window of opportunity closes too quickly. Of course, I can still read the articles I kept as clippings or printouts. I hope there will still be books around when I’m old(er). I’m like Capt. Kirk in “Star Trek The Original Series,” known as TOS to fans. He liked real books, their feel, their smell and the thrill of the chase; like Fenton I think half the fun of owning books is in the finding. Of course, there is another reason to own books that, so far, none of these other journalists have mentioned. It’s how you know who your real friends are. They’re the ones who never steal your books and always help you move even when they know how many books they’ll have to help you carry. Unfortunately, while printed books probably won’t disappear, bookstores probably will.

Prickly Pear closing at the end of January Store has been a popular home accessory business in Monument
J. Frederic Dunckel
By Lisa Collacott
lcollacott@ourcoloradonews.com Another popular business in downtown Monument will soon be closing their doors. The Prickly Pear is scheduled to close at the end of January. Owner Carolyn Mangold is retiring after being in business for 25 years. Employee Kaye Byers, who has worked at Prickly Pear for 15 years, said Mangold opened Prickly Pear 25-years-ago in Colorado Springs and then moved the business to downtown Monument after a few years. The business was located on Front Street originally but moved to its current location on Second Street after the fire at the Coffee Cup. The Prickly Pear is currently having a retirement sale and all merchandise is marked down 40, 50, 60 and 75 percent off. Byers said since announcing the closing of the business, long-time and regular customers have stopped by the store. “Everybody is going to miss her,” Byers said of Mangold. Just because Mangold is closing the store doesn’t mean she plans to completely retire. Byers said she will continue working with florals from her home. She has provided florals for the Parade of Homes for several years and will continue to do so as well as for other clients.

Employers needed for teens’ summer job hunt By Special to The Tribune and Courier Pikes Peak Workforce Center
Once a rite of passage to adulthood, summer jobs for teens are disappearing. Fewer than three in 10 American teenagers now hold jobs such as running cash registers, mowing lawns or busing restaurant tables from June to August. The decline has been particularly sharp since 2000 with employment for 16-to-19-year olds falling to the lowest level since World War II. Teen employment may never return to pre-recession levels, suggests a projection by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics made in an Associated Press article that ran in the June 12 Pikes Peak Parent, http://articles. pikespeakparent.com/articles/wash-
ington-331-jobless-seven.html. Experts agree that lack of employment opportunities for teens and young adults often leads to a lack of knowledge and experience needed to build long-term careers. Those who don’t work in their teen years may not learn the soft skills needed to be successful employees in the future. “Employers can help,” said Lance Bolton, President of the Pikes Peak Community College System. “Students need and benefit enormously from work opportunities. Part-time employment or internships can be life-changing for students who know little about professional work environments. Skills related to character, self-control and work ethic naturally emerge from work opportunities in business.” To help youth find summer employment, The Pikes Peak Workforce Center Youth Zone is seeking employ-
ers who have summer positions for youth, 16-21, to attend the Annual Governor’s Summer Job Hunt Youth Job Fair 11 a.m.-5 p.m. on March 7 at the DoubleTree Hotel, 1775 East Cheyenne Mountain Boulevard, in Colorado Springs. Pikes Peak Workforce Center is seeking employers in El Paso and Teller counties who need to fill their summer positions and who pay the minimum wage of $7.78 per hour. There is no charge for employers to attend and participating employers get a free lunch! To reserve a booth, please call Bob Gemignani at 719.667.3829 or bobgemignani@elpasoco.com The Pikes Peak Workforce Center connects vital businesses with workready job seekers and employer-driven services.

Neuroscience program benefits Prairie Winds Teacher takes part in program that teaches interventions for kids that have experienced abuse, trauma and neglect By Lisa Collacott
lcollacott@ourcoloradonews.com Her training in neuroscience research not only was a benefit to Kara Busath’s family and classroom but it is benefitting the entire school she teaches at. Busath, a Kindergarten teacher at Prairie Winds Elementary School, received a grant last year for training in neuroscience research and interventions for children who have experienced trauma, abuse or neglect. The program, called the True-Based Relational Intervention, is through Texas Christian University, and is for teachers, social workers, therapists, psychologists, adoption counselors, early childhood and development specialists and even judges and attorneys. Busath took part in pre-training coursework, a five-day on-site training in Texas and post-training follow-up. The program is geared for at-risk children, children who have been in foster care and those who have been adopted. During the training Busath learned what trauma does to a child’s brain and how the brain can be re-wired. “If you understand what trauma does to the brain you can get to the root of the
problem,” Busath said. Busath has experienced firsthand how successful this can be. Two years ago she and her husband added to their family of four children when they adopted a nineyear-old girl from Ghana. The young girl didn’t speak English and had not been to school. “She came from a hard place,” Busath said, adding that she began reading up on what trauma does to the brain and came across the program at TCU. Her daughter is now a fifth-grader and is at a fifth-grade level in her studies thanks to the teachers at Prairie Winds. “The teachers here are phenomenal,” Busath added. “My daughter is a perfect example of a good support system.” Other teachers have expressed interest in what Busath has learned in the classroom and have formed a study team at the school on how to implement it in the classroom. Busath said that Prairie Winds doesn’t have a lot of at risk kids but they do have a lot of students that have been adopted. She’s taken from the program that what works for children that have come from hard places actually works for every kid. “We can do things in the classroom to rewire the brain,” she said, adding that researchers discovered the brain is more

Photo by Lisa Collacott like plastic. According to “The Whole Brain Child” written by Daniel Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson, researchers are studying the brain in ways they never thought possible through new technology. The technology has confirmed many things about the brain previously believed. “One of the surprises that has shaken the very foundation of neuroscience is the discovery that the brain is actually `plastic’ or moldable. This means the brain physically changes through the course of our lives, not just in childhood,” Siegel
states in the book. Siegel goes on to state that experience molds the brain and the neurons become active or `fire’ during an experience. When the neurons fire together they grow connections between them resulting in the rewiring of the brain. Busath said researchers have called this the “decade of the brain” and is excited to implement the interventions at the school. She has also received a grant to bring a developmental psychologist to Prairie Winds in April to teach the staff.

sports@ourcoloradonews.com MONUMENT - Andie Turner is a star high school swimmer on the rise. And in less than a month she will likely be competing against a four-time Olympic champion. Turner, a Lewis-Palmer High School freshman, is ranked third in Class 5A in the 100 backstroke. The defending state champion in the event is Regis Jesuit senior Missy Franklin. The same Missy Franklin who won four Gold medals at last summer’s London Games. “I know I’m not going to win against an Olympic Gold medalist, but I’m telling myself to try my best and have fun,” Turner said. “I’m hoping to get second.”
Turner and Franklin are no strangers. They went head-to-head in a 25-yard backstroke sprint elimination event in December 2011. The finals came down to Turner and Franklin. “They were pretty much dead even underwater,” said Lewis-Palmer coach Alan Arata. “That’s where Andie’s strength lies. She can kick extremely well underwater. The water just seems to move around her.” Turner, 15, is enjoying the best season of any Lewis-Palmer swimmer. She has 14 first-place finishes, four seconds and three thirds. She has qualified for the state meet in the 100 back, 50 free, 200 individual medley and 100 butterfly. She has also qualified in all three relay events. “I think she could qualify for every event if we put her in at the right time,” Arata said. Arata has been working with Turner since she was 10. Arata, a former Air Force Academy swimmer and coach, was more of a consultant before this season. Arata’s son, Ryan, a freshman at Stanford, has also
worked with Turner. “She swims the same events as Ryan,” Alan Arata said. “We’re kind of brining her along the same way we did Ryan. “She’s one of the easiest athletes to coach that I’ve ever had. She has a lot of confidence in what we do. She has the kind of skills I like to bring out in athletes.” The 5-foot-4 Turner, who swims club for Colorado Springs Swim Team, has a season-best time in the 100 back of 57.92. That places her second behind Chaparral’s Makenna Wilson (57.73).Franklin is the defending state champion at 52.76. Franklin has not competed in the event this year during a high school meet, but is expected to do before state. “For Andie to do her best is all I want,” said Turner’s mother, Nancy Roberts, who also is an assistant coach for Lewis-Palmer. “I know she’s not a world-class swimmer. She isn’t 6-2 with size 13 feet (like Franklin). But she’s very driven and she’s very disciplined.”
Turner is the consummate swimmer. She trains year-round (11 months with her club team), up to 25 miles in the water per week. “It’s mostly what you’re born with,” said Turner, who maintains a 4.0 GPA. “I never worked on any other strokes besides the back stroke and butterfly.” Last summer, Turner added to her training regiment by competing in triathlons. She competed in events in Salida and Montrose, winning her age group in each race. “I just fell in love with it,” she said. “I plan to do more of them this summer.” For now, however, Turner will be doing all she can to make a good showing at next month’s state meet at Edora Pool in Fort Collins. “There are certain things Andie still needs to learn how to do,” Alan Arata said. “Mentally stronger is where she’s going to make her ground up.” Tickets for the state meet go on sale in early February.

Losses spur Rangers nto new heights By Danny Summers
sports@ourcoloradonews.com
rainlons. MONUMENT - The Lewis-Palmer High MonSchool boys basketball team has a chip on ce. its shoulder and opposing teams are paying plan a mighty price. The latest victim, Cheyenne Mountain, doing rolled into Monument on Jan. 18 with a next sparkling 10-1 record. The Indians headed Fort back to their home in southwest Colorado Springs a little humbled after a 49-33 loss. still It was the fourth consecutive victory said. for Lewis-Palmer since returning from the ng to Christmas break. The Rangers ended December with consecutive losses for the first le in time in four seasons. o on“We learned a lot losing those last two games before break,” said Lewis-Palmer senior swingman Justin Smith, who scored a game-high 16 points against Cheyenne Mountain. “We had a great week practice after Christmas. We wanted to come out in the second half of the season with a lot of energy and passion.” The Idaho State-bound Smith is second on the team in scoring15.4 points per game this season. He had 19 in the Rangers’ first game back from break when Lewis-Palmer dismantled Discovery Canyon by 29 points. Discovery Canyon entered that game undefeated and has not lost since. “We learned what we were doing wrong,” said Lewis-Palmer senior guard Jordan
Scott, who is averaging a team-leading 16.3 points per game. “The key for us is defense, and we got away from that. It all starts with defense. That leads to our offense being successful.” The Rangers are 11-2 overall, 4-0 in the Class 4A Pikes Peak Athletic Conference. Their losses are to D’Evelyn (73-68) and Chaparral (68-60). In Lewis-Palmer’s four games since the break, it is allowing an average of just 36 points per game, while scoring 62 per contest. “We’ve played a lot better at the defensive end since Christmas break,” said Lewis-Palmer coach Russ McKinstry. “Better ball pressure. More enthusiasm. “We still haven’t clicked offensively, but that night’s coming. We can shoot better (from the field). We can shoot better from the free throw line. We’ve had a few too many unforced errors.” McKinstry and crew seem to be on the right track to defending their state title. “We’re in Phase 2 of our season,” he said. “Hopefully we can put ourselves in a position to host a regional tournament. In order to do that you gotta make sure you hold home court and get as many as you can on the road.” For the record, Phase 3 is the postseason. The Rangers have games this week against Air Academy (6-7) and Vista Ridge (3-9). Two huge games are not far down the road - a home game against Discovery Canyon (12-1, 3-1) on Jan. 29 and an away matchup at Sand Creek (11-0, 4-0) on Feb. 5. On Feb. 1, the Rangers travel to Palmer Ridge for a cross town rivalry game with the Bears. Lewis-Palmer is 5-0 lifetime against palmer Ridge.
