211 crew member apprehended Authorities still searching for other gang member for questioning, Ebel released four years early By Lisa Collacott

lcollacott@ourcoloradonews.com An alleged member of the 211 crew, that was wanted for questioning in the shooting death of the Colorado prison director Tom Clements, has been arrested. The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office has James Lohr in custody after he was arrested by Colorado Springs Police in the early morning hours of April 5. Lohr, 47, and another suspected member of the 211 white supremacist gang Thomas Guolee, 31, were being sought by authorities in connection to Clement’s murder. Authorities believe that the two men were in contact with Evan Ebel sometime after his release from prison on Jan. 28 and before Clement’s shooting. Guolee is still being sought for questioning. Ebel shot and killed Clements at his home on March 19. He was killed in a shootout on March 21 with police in Texas after a high speed chase. EPSO said officers with the CSPD spotted Lohr at approximately 1:30 a.m. as he was leaving a business on Platte Avenue, east of Union Boulevard. Officers attempted to pull him over, and a pursuit ensued, but Lohr took off on foot after the vehicle

he was driving became disabled. Officers conducted a search of the area and found him in the 200 block of Cedar Street at approximately 3:25 a.m. He was taken into custody without incident. Lohr faces vehicle eluding, which is a class five felGuolee ony, reckless driving, speeding and failure to obey a traffic control device. He has also been arrested for three outstanding warrants. He had a warrant for failure to comply for third degree assault and harassment in El Paso County and a violation of bail/bond condiLohr tions and a failure to appear/ contempt of court violation in Las Animas County. His total bond is $257,000. The EPSO originally said that Lohr and Guolee were not suspects but just persons of interest. Guolee is considered armed and dangerous. Early release In other another development it was discovered that Ebel was released from prison four years early because of an error. Ebel was serving an eight years sentence and was supposed to serve an additional four years for assaulting a prison guard, when he completed that sentence. He was convicted for the charge in 2008. During the sentencing, it was not specified that Ebel

would serve the sentences consecutively, so instead, he served it concurrently because of a clerical error by the Fremont County court clerk. Colorado’s 11 Judicial District Court chief judge Charles Barton and court administrator Walter Blair apologized for the error and wrote in a statement, “Because the judge did not expressly state that the sentence was consecutive, the court judicial assistant did not include the term in the mittimus, the sentence order that went to the Department of Corrections. The court regrets this oversight and extends condolences to families of Mr. Nathan Leon and Mr. Tom Clements.” Ebel is suspected of killing Leon, a Domino’s pizza delivery driver in Golden. Gov. John Hickenlooper announced April 4 that he has ordered the Colorado Department of Corrections to review prisoner records to ensure that offenders are serving appropriate sentences. In addition, the National Institute of Corrections will conduct a review of the department’s parole operations. “We asked the Department of Corrections to review its internal procedures and initiate an audit of the time and release records,” Hickenlooper said in a statement. “The department will prioritize the review of cases with the greatest level of risk, going back 10 years and reviewing required consecutive sentencing. The department will work with the Attorney General’s office on any issues that may need further action.”

Donala Water and Sanitation customers are now limited to watering two days a week. Colorado Springs City Council approved “stage two” of the Water Shortage Ordinance for Colorado Springs Utility customers and because Donala has a contract for water transfer through the Northgate connection, Donala customers are required to comply with the twice a week irrigation schedule. Donala has their own watering standards program. Customers have been on restrictions for the past couple of years with mandatory watering limits to three times per week from Memorial Day to Labor Day. The new schedule limits users to two days a week, putting Donala at “stage three,” beginning April 1. “It will remain until further notice,” Kip Petersen, assistant manager for Donala said. The water district will follow an oddeven program. Odd day users can water on Monday and Friday, and even day users can water Tuesday and Saturday. There is no watering on Sunday. Customers can still use a hose to water plants, shrubs and trees as long as the hose has a positive shut-off nozzle which shuts the hose off when not in use. Petersen said watering only twice a week will not cause lawns to die. “A lot of experts we talked to said it’s not a problem. Lawns may look brown and dusty but they’re not dead just dormant,” Petersen said. The next phase would be “stage four,” which puts Donala customers at no watering until further notice. However, Petersen believes the district will not go to a “stage four” restriction.

Donala Water and Sanitation customers have to comply with new watering restrictions which limits them to watering only two times a week. The restrictions went into effect April 1 after Colorado Springs Utilities adopted watering restrictions. Donala has put up signs, like the one pictured, throughout the district.

Directional assistance to appear downtown Signs will direct visitors to dining, shops and area attractions By Lisa Collacott

lcollacott@ourcoloradonews.com The town of Monument hopes to install “way-finding” signs around town by the Fourth of July to direct visitors to area attractions. The signs will be installed in eight locations in downtown Monument and will not interfere with signs installed by the Historic Monument Merchants Association. “The locations are intended to direct people to certain areas,” Tom Kassawara, director of development services, said. Two of the signs, which will be located at the entrances to downtown, will be larger signs which will direct people toward everything. One of these signs will be located on Second Street west of Beacon Lite Road, and the other will be located on Third Street and Beacon Lite Road. These signs point visitors to historic Monument, downtown shops and attractions. A third sign will be installed on Second Street, right before Jefferson Street, and will point to historic Monument, downtown

The town of Monument will be installing way-finding signs around the downtown area to give visitors direction to shops, dining and local attractions such as the lake and Limbach Park. They will be placed in eight different locations, like the one pictured above. The town hopes to have them installed by the Fourth of July.

Airman faces sexual assault charges Special to The Tribune An airman at the United States Air Force Academy has been charged with aggravated sexual contact and abusive sexual contact against a female enlisted airman. “The 10th Air Base Wing Commander, as the Special CourtMartial Convening Authority holding initial disposition authority, directed an investiga-

tive hearing on the charges in accordance with Article 32 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice,” said a release from the Academy. “Counsel for the government and defense are working on the dates and times for an Article 32 hearing. An Article 32 hearing is equivalent to a civilian grand jury proceeding. An investigating officer presides over an Article 32 hearing and submits his or her report of the proceedings with

recommendations to the 10th ABW Commander. The 10th ABW Commander will then decide whether to dismiss the case, recommend it go to a general courtmartial or dispose of the case through some other disciplinary or administrative action,” the release said. “It must be emphasized that charges are merely accusations, and the accused is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.”

ing to tie the signage to the marketing plan and give people some direction as to where they need to go to see the attractions.” Other signs will be located on Jefferson Street and Chapala Plaza, Second Street near Wisdom Tea House, Third and Washington Streets, Jefferson and Third Streets and Second and Front Streets, looking east. These signs will have arrows pointing to shops and dining. “The signs are not specific to businesses, because we don’t think the town should be advertising a specific business,” Kassawara said. Treasurer Pam Smith added that as the town website continues to be developed the plan is to have an interactive map of all the businesses in Monument so that people can click on a specific business and get all the information about that business. The signs will be attached to existing light posts and will be visible from vehicles. Kassawara said the only expense for the signs will be to have them made and installed. The town has budgeted $25,000 for the signs in this year’s budget. The board of trustees directed Kassawara to get quotes on signs that have an antique look, are bracketed, wrought iron or bronze, to match the look of the light posts. They also asked Kassawara to get input from HMMA on the signs.

The Monument board of trustees approved a replat and a second amendment to the final site plan for the Promontory Pointe subdivision located off of Baptist Road and Gleneagle Drive.

2007. The original plan also had several streets coming off of Gleneagle Drive.

In addition to the slopes and grades, Kassawara said Classic Homes has modified their landscape plans in this area to reduce the amount of water that would be needed to irrigate the landscape. He said sod will be replaced with native grass and water wise plants, rather than the species that were originally approved in 2007. “With all of those changes we think it’s a better product. There are fewer streets coming out onto Gleneagle Drive which is a bonus because that’s pretty much going to wind up being a collector road someday, (because) it’s going to go north and south paralleling Jackson Creek Parkway,” Kassawara said. “With that and the new landscape plans we think it’s a much better plan than it was originally approved.” Kassawara said the density has been dropped as well. Several lots had to be moved because the topography made it impossible to build. “Changing the grades of the streets will make them a little bit safer. Changing the elevations of the lots will make them more buildable. Changing the landscape plan for the common areas and the trail area, is what’s going to save them the bulk of the water,” Kassawara said.

Measure would extend Colorado work share program Plan allows partial benefits for employees with reduced hours By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com State lawmakers have voted to renew a rarely used program that gives struggling businesses an alternative to laying off employees. Senate Bill 157, which has passed both chambers of the Democratic-controlled General Assembly on party-line votes, would extend the Colorado Work Share Program indefinitely. The program gives businesses the opportunity to keep their workers at reduced hours, rather than laying them off altogether. Under the program, which businesses can enter into on a voluntary basis, employees receive prorated unemployment bene-

fits to compensate for the loss of hours. Workers can receive up to 26 weeks of prorated unemployment benefits through Colorado Work Share, under recent federal changes made to Report the program. The program receives federal money for reimbursement, rather than adversely affecting the state’s Unemployment Insurance Fund. Rep. Tracy Kraft-Tharp, D-Arvada, a House sponsor of the bill, said the program allows businesses that are going through a “temporary tough time” to keep skilled workers, instead of losing them. Kraft-Tharp said in a recent interview that the program helps companies like Vestas Wind Systems, which has reduced employees’ hours at their Brighton, Pueblo and

Aircraft firms’ tax credit gets support Bill aims to boost employment in state By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com A bill that would expand tax incentives for the purpose of new hires in the state’s aviation field is flying through the Legislature with bipartisan support. House Bill 1080 modifies the 2005 Aircraft Manufacturer New Employee Tax Credit, which provides a one-time $1,200 tax credit for a new employee that is hired by an aircraft manufacturer. The bill expands the available tax incentives to manufacturers that provide aircraft maintenance, repair and modification services, which were not included in the bill from eight years ago. Rep. Chris Holbert, R-Parker, a bill sponsor, said it’s important to extend the existing earned tax credits in an effort to attract high-paying jobs in a growing field, rather than having planes fly to other states just for the purposes of having repairs done. “We have to recognize that big carriers like United or Frontier, when they need to maintain an airplane, very often they’ll fly it to Wisconsin or Chicago to do the work there, and then bring it back,” he said. “I think it’s ridiculous that Colorado is losing

out on those job opportunities. Why not do that maintenance, why not do more of that final fit and finish kind of work while they’re on the ground here?” Holbert said he was approached about the idea for the bill by representatives from Centennial Airport, which has runways that extend into Holbert’s Douglas County legislative district. Airport Executive Director Robert Olislagers said Colorado is in a tough competition with other states for tax incentives for aviation jobs. “Twelve hundred dollars in tax credits doesn’t sound like a whole lot,” Olislagers said. “But, if you add that in with other incentives that Colorado counties are providing, it starts to add up.” Olislagers also said he hopes the bill will create more aviation jobs for veterans, especially when it comes to work that involves modifications of military aircraft. The bill passed the Democratic-controlled House on April 5 by a vote of 61-2, with two members excused from the vote. “It’s a growing industry in Colorado,” said bill co-sponsor Rep. Tracy KraftTharp, D-Arvada. “This bill helps aircraft manufacturers by being able to hire employees.” The bill now heads to the Senate, where it will be sponsored by Republican Sen. Ted Harvey of Highlands Ranch.

Windsor wind-power factories. “This is a pretty specialized field,” she said. “We don’t want to lose those people, or have them move away.” The Work Share program, which was put in place in 2010, and is administered under the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment, had to be taken up again by the General Assembly because it is scheduled to sunset in July. The bill keeps the program going, while making adjustments to keep it in line with federal guidelines. Kraft-Tharp acknowledges that the program isn’t well-known, and that only a handful of Colorado businesses are taking advantage of it. But she expects that to change soon. “There was no money for Department of Labor staff time when it passed in 2010, so the state has not been able to promote this,” she said. “But, with the new changes, we can access federal grants, so we can al-

locate staff time to support it.” Republicans are opposed to the continuation of the program. The bill passed the Senate without any GOP support in March, and again in the House on April 2. Rep. Brian DelGrosso, R-Loveland, said during a recent debate on the House floor that businesses that pay into the state’s unemployment insurance trust fund could essentially end up paying the wages for competitors’ workers, even though the workers are still employed there. “So, potentially you can have a competitor down the street paying for the employees of a fellow competitor somewhere else in town,” DelGrosso said. But Kraft-Tharp sees value in the program. “The bottom line is, if you’re going to be laid off … and if we can help you, we’re going to help you,” she said. “It’s about keeping people employed and keeping their paychecks coming home.”

Not your mother’s antique show anymore Tri-Lakes Women’s Club adds home décor to 37th annual event By Norma Engelberg

nengelberg@ourcoloradonews.com For most of its first 37 Tri-Lakes Women’s Club’s annual shows they were all about the antiques. In the 35th year the club added a garden component to the show. This year club members have added another component and it has become the 37th annual Pine Forest Antiques Home Décor & Garden Show & Sale. The show and sale is from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. April 20 and 10 a.m.-4 p.m. April 21 at Lewis-Palmer High School. Admission is $6 but

patrons can bring in a copy of the ad from the website, www.tlwc.net, and get $1 off one admission. “We’re trying to diversify so it’s more than just an antique show,” said Diane Zeiger, who, with Suzanne D’Innocenzo, co-chairs the event. “We’re adding things everyone can enjoy. It’s getting better every year.” So now, along with rooms full of antique dealers, about 10 home décor sellers and an equal number of garden shops and services will be selling their products and giving advice. In past years, the women’s club has also sold geraniums but this year the specialty plants are herbs, either in individual pots or in 12 inch by 12 inch mixed herb gardens. “We’re also selling infused olive oils and flavored balsamic vinegars at the show, including such flavors as Blood Orange Olive Oil and Raspberry Champagne Balsamic

Vinegar,” Zeiger said. “The women have also taken antique doors and windows, restored them and painted them bright colors for a unique display at the show’s entrance.” Also new this year are performances by the 17th Avenue Allstars, a Denver-based a cappella singing group that has performed for presidents and governors and are the official National Anthem singers for the Denver Broncos. They will perform three 40-minute shows from noon-3 p.m. on Saturday only. A signature for this event, the Tri-Lakes Women’s Club bake sale is also changing. Renamed “The Bakery” the bakes sale will emulate a small-town bakery with small tables covered with “beautiful tablecloths” scattered about, Zeiger said, adding, “It used to be back in a corner but we’re bringing it out into the light. It will be more invit-

ing and more diversified in the treats we’ll offer. Hundreds of club members will be baking pies and cakes, homemade cookies, breads and even dog treats. Some of the baked goods will be gluten free. We’re encouraging people to buy some of the treats to eat there and others to freeze for mother’s or father’s day.” The popular Bistro is also getting an update. Early in the day, coffee and orange juice and cinnamon rolls will be available. For the rest of the day there will be several gluten free items such as wraps and Southwest tortilla chicken soup along with chef and fruit salads and the more traditional hotdogs and nachos. All proceeds from the two day show and sale benefit qualified nonprofit service organizations and public schools in the TriLakes community. Information is available at the website.

In early March 1935, Baby Doe’s frozen body was discovered on the floor of her cabin outside the Matchless Mine in Leadville, her arms peacefully crossed on her chest. At the time of her death, she had already become a legend. Joyce is the author of “Baby Doe Tabor: Matchless Silver Queen.” In her presentation Joyce reveals how she manages to tell a familiar story in a different light. She also describes her adventures while researching the Tabor family tale so she could find new and interesting perspectives to share with her readers and audience. This event is free and refreshments will be served after the presentation. Visit www. palmerdividehistory.org.

opinions / yours and ours

Beacon Light and Pickwick House On several occasions through the years, I have been able to rely on the very keen memory of Marianne Zagorski to help tell stories about the Tri-Lakes area. I would pull on a thread of history here, and somehow it was likely to unravel a yarn or two, related -- though not obviously. In one such instance, the longtime resident was recalling how she used the aviator beacon of Beacon Light (Lite) fame at the top of Monument Hill to tell people how to get to her home near Palmer Lake. “Those directions to which you refer were the start of what I sent expected guests to direct them to our home of the `60s south of Palmer Lake - “Pickwick House” on (Highway) 105.” As often occurs in such pursuits, the

side track would be as enlightening, interesting and useful as the original path we started down. “We had six possible bedrooms as well as summer fresh-air sleeping porches with iron cots possibly dating back to Lord Pilkington. He designed the house on his

hundreds of acres of completely self-sufficient ranch in 1909. He needed the night air to recuperate from TB,” wrote Zagorski to me in a letter in May of 2007. “When we were there, the giant barn, sheds and silo still stood across the creek. A prior flood had taken their small bridge. Before moving from the U.S.A.F.A. (Air Force Academy) to Palmer Lake, we had not had a house large enough for guests. “Pure luxury - and friends and relatives took the opportunity to visit. That `luxury’ referred only to space, not condition. The roof was badly disintegrating and leaks were never conquered. Also peeling plaster, handsome interior wood and brick and tile had all been plastered over, worn-through carpeting and disreputable furniture were

what kept the price almost affordable and other buyers away,” writes Zagorski. “We did not complain about the condition of the furniture as we had little ourselves. Then there was the kitchen unbelievably bad with original very rusty sink, wood cook stove, etc… Despite all, we loved our acres and view and the creek and Hugh Nevins’ horses galloping by. We five agree, those were golden years. I suffer from the foible of aging - reminiscence! Should not have started on Pickwick.” Ah, Mrs. Zagorski, we are glad you did. More than a few of us have lived in a place like that, in a time almost forgotten, in way that is no longer possible. Given the opportunity, most of us would love to take a return trip.

What’s so supreme Something to talk about about you and me? We can be short or tall, light or dark. Our eyes can be brown, blue, green or many colors in between. Beneath everything that makes us appear different we are all very nearly the same; members of the same race, the human race. That’s why all these people who call themselves “supremacists,” no matter their self-proclaimed “race,” drive me crazy (that’s getting to be a short trip). Unless they’re justices in the nation’s highest court or members of a specific Motown singing trio, they have no reason to call themselves “supreme.” In fact, psychologists say people who think they are superior to others because of “fill in the blank” are suffering from the “Superiority Illusion.” If you want to feel superior, at least pick something based on your own deeds. Nobody gets to pick their parents. When asked about “race,” geneticist Spencer Wells, who heads the joint National Geographic Society-IBM nonprofit Genographic Project, said in a 2008 Harvard Magazine article: “Racism is not only socially divisive, but also scientifically incorrect. We are all descendants of people who lived in Africa recently. We are all Africans under the skin.” Wells added that the kinds of differences people notice, skin pigmentation, limb length, or other adaptations, are “basically surface features that have been selected for in the environment. When you peer beneath the surface at the underlying level of genetic variation, we are all much more similar than we appear to be. There are no clear, sharp delineations.” The fact that there is no biological basis for race or racism, for that matter, isn’t new. The Harvard Magazine article also cites Richard Lewontin, professor of biology and Agassiz professor of zoology emeritus at the University of California, Berkley, who more

than 40 years ago said much the same thing after discovering “that of all human genetic variation (just 0.1 percent of all genetic material), 85 percent occurs within geographically distinct groups, while 15 percent or less occurs between them.” Scientists have continued to discover new information backing up their statements. They’re even coming around to the Bible’s one-genetic-mother, one-genetic-father, human-origins assertion but are people listening? Do they believe the science? Do they even believe the Bible? For many the answer to these questions is “no!” Humans aren’t very good at basing decisions on facts, especially if those facts go against their deeply held views. In fact psychologists have discovered what they call the “backfire effect.” When shown facts contradicting their beliefs, many people hold on to those beliefs ever more tenaciously. And various studies also show that where people stand along the Liberal/Conservative divide doesn’t make them any more or less amenable to fact-based persuasion. As one writer said, “We all have blinders in some situations.” Rather than trying to persuade people using facts, psychologists suggest starting with values. If the person giving them the facts is someone they believe shares their values, they are much more likely to believe them. It also helps to talk fast.

When you write a weekly column, like me, you have to come up with something to write about every week. Should I push a few buttons and get a debate going and talk about something controversial like the legalization of marijuana, gay marriage, immigration or abortion? Not today, but maybe in the very near future. And whatever I write I most surely will expect a letter to the editor from someone who sits on the other side of the fence on these issues. And in case you’re wondering, if I fall off the fence I’ll land on the (R)ight side. I could talk about the dangers of social media, strange news, diseases, recycling, natural disasters, education, my kids and even my goals in life. But I’ve already done that. My co-worker recently tackled the gun issue, so I won’t go there, and my editor frequently writes columns about history in the area. There’s a world of things we could talk about and/or write about. Just watch the news, pick up a newspaper or surf the Internet. There are more things than we know what to do with. There are a lot of issues, both local and national, to talk about around the water cooler at the office. Actually who really stands around a water cooler anymore and talks? Most of it is done right from our desks or in the break room. Just today while on the Internet I found many things that could be topics for discussion: hoax photos, how prom has evolved from the 1950s and 1960s, articles about the threat from North Korea, tax deductions, the death of a reality television star and an actor entering rehab. No, it wasn’t Lindsey Lohan. Although there was an article about her possibly being sent to rehab, yet again, by a

judge. So there are plenty of topics to choose from especially concerning North Korea. And a lot of discussions take place on Facebook. I’ve seen Facebook friends get 50 comments or more, when they give their views about the President of the United States. They want to know if their kids are the right age to take to LEGOLAND Parks, or they just want opinions on healthy eating. I once worked with mostly guys on a receiving dock and all they talked about was sports. Sit in an airport while waiting for a flight, in a coffee shop or take your kids to the park and sit on a bench near several mothers and eavesdrop on their conversations. The people in the airport are probably on their cell phones speaking about work related issues, and the moms are most likely talking about what they are doing to keep their homes chemical free, or about education. In a coffee shop you will definitely get an earful. Although, if someone is discussing a personal matter, you might want to tune it out. And if you’re going to a party and need items to discuss, just do a Google search and find the latest news so you’re current.

WWI changes still here During World War I the federal government took control of the railroads all over the country to speed train movements. In the days before the country was involved in the war in Europe, we were helping by sending supplies. It was thought that delays in moving freight would be improved if the companies that ran the railroads were more cooperative. The railroads, however, resisted, and the government stepped in. In this area one of the things they did was to order the railroads to stop exclusive use of their lines between Denver and Pueblo. This caused many Santa Fe and Rio Grande stations to lose their identities, in a way. The Santa Fe station became the north bound station. the Rio Grande station became the south bound station. This started on Oct. 1, 1918. Crossovers were rebuilt, including the one north of Fountain, just below Crews station on the Santa Fe. The one north of Palmer Lake and another at Sedalia were also done. When the Santa Fe was built in 1886 and 1887 they crossed over the Rio Grande at these spots on bridges, but they were removed in 1918, and the furthest east track was the north bound track and the furthest west track south bound. A north bound train from Pueblo was on the Rio Grande to Crews, then Santa Fe to Palmer Lake, and Rio Grande again after Sedalia. This eliminated a number of stations along the way as the trains did not have to wait for meetings. Trains followed trains going in the same direction. The change also complicated passenger trains that ran at about the same time. The Santa Fe and the Rio Grande had a morning

train and another in the evening, that passed through Monument at about the same time, before the change. After the change the morning train was only Rio Grande, and the Santa Fe was only the afternoon train! This also made life easier for the postmasters who picked up the mail from the trains. Freight trains changed somewhat, because they had extra engines in Denver to push heavy trains to Palmer Lake, now they went back to Denver on the north bound tracks. A single station later served both railroads, just north of Palmer Lake, instead of two. The system is still in place, except for the change brought in 1975 by the removal of the second track between Crews and Palmer Lake. Rail traffic was lighter after the last passenger train between Denver and Pueblo in 1971, and the railroads agreed to stop running trains in the city streets of Colorado Springs. It was right after that when the use of Wyoming coal in Texas saw the increase in rail business that we still see. Mel McFarland, artist, author, retired teacher and railroader, is a Colorado Springs native who has a strong interest in the events of this area’s past.

Sparky means `Thank You’ in dog By Susan Adams

Monument Hill Foundation/Kiwanis

RUTH BOLAS GRI, SFR, CNE

How do you say thank you in dog language? SPARKY!! The Monument Hill Foundation gave a $1,000 gift to the Tri-Lakes Fire Protection District and the result was Sparky the Fire Dog. Mo Ayala and Rudi Gillette, Firemen with the Monument Fire Department, brought Sparky to the Monument Hill Kiwanis Club meeting on March 30 to show the members the results of their generous donation. Scott Ross introduced Sparky to the club and said that Sparky would travel to all the elementary schools in Lewis-Palmer School District 38 to help teach kids about fire prevention. Tragically, children under the age of 5 are the most at risk in the case of a house fire and only 26 percent of families have actually developed and practiced a home-fire escape plan. “Sparky plays an important role in communicating fire safety to kids and families”, said Mo Ayala, “…and we thank you for your support”. The Monument Hill Foundation is a 501c3 and the granting arm of the Monument Hill Kiwanis Club. The Foundation gifts $40,000 dollars back

Forestgate presents ‘Fiddler on the Roof’ Local community theater will perform the musical April 11-27 By Lisa Collacott

A

fter months of rehearsals, Forestgate Community Theatre will present a local production of “Fiddler on the Roof.” The musical will run from April 11-27 and will feature local talent. The community theatre has been around for nearly 10 years, and past productions have included “Pride & Prejudice,” “The Music Man,” “The Sound of Music,” “Anne of Green Gables” and “A Night of Comedy in Three One Acts; Scheme of a Driftless Shifter.” Director Joan Funke said the talent in their productions is a mix of professional and nonprofessional actors. “The community theatre is an opportunity for people who love to perform to come out and be a part of a production,” Funke said. The vision of the theatre is to provide affordable theatre to families and bring together those who have a passion for performing. Funke said it is a community effort for people who have a love of performing. Actors may be students or adults who work fulltime jobs that maybe were a part of theatre in high school or college and are now getting back into acting by performing in local productions. “We have community wide auditions. There is an incredible amount of talent out there,” Funke said. She said she loves to work with a multigenerational cast and the age range of actors is 9 to 80. Because most of the actors work, or attend school, rehearsals take

The plays are always family friendly. “This is family theatre. We try to find something where kids, teens and adults can be involved,” Funke added. Productions take place at Forestgate Presbyterian Church at 970 Northgate Boulevard. The sanctuary is transformed into a

theatre with stadium seating. “Fiddler on the Roof” is a book by Joseph Stein and tells the story of a Jewish man Tevye and his daughters in Tsarist Russia in 1905. The musical first appeared on Broadway in 1964 and was made into a film for the big screen in 1971. Funke is directing the musical while Laura Bergen is the choreographer and Jer-

emy Holtrop is musical director. Tickets are $6 for Saturday matinees, $9 for Thursday night showings and $10 for Friday and Saturday night. Forestgate Community Theatre will perform the musical April 11-27. Tickets can be purchased at www.forestgatecommunitytheatre.org. Funke said tickets are almost sold-out for the Saturday matinees.

Colin Hay brings his tour to Tri-Lakes Center for the Arts Men at Work frontman performs solo material, band’s popular music

MoRe inFo The “Weaving Their Way to Hope” exhibition at the Tri-Lakes Center for the Arts will run until April 13. Friendship International, a Monument-based organization, has been extending friendship to the Kurds in eastern Turkey for more than 20 years and will exhibit and sell kilims, made by young Kurdish girls from April 2-13.

By Lisa Collacott

lcollacott@ourcoloradonews.com Who can it be now? In what is their biggest headliner yet, the Tri-Lakes Center for the Arts will welcome Colin Hay, former frontman for the 1980s band Men at Work to the stage. Hay brings his “Finding My Dance” tour to the TLCA on April 20. This latest tour started in September and just happened to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the No. 1 hit “Down Under.” Hay re-released the song as “Down Under 2012,” which doesn’t include the “Kookaburra” flute line, because of a lawsuit in Australia. The tour, which promotes his latest album “Gathering the Mercury,” has taken him to Australia and has him touring the western United States right now. It will also take him to the United Kingdom, Germany and Switzerland. But Hay says the tour really started “30 odd years ago.” Hay started playing guitar when he was a teenager and made it big, as part of the Grammy winning group Men at Work. Songs like “Down Under,” Who Can it Be Now” and “Overkill” were popular in the 1980s. After going their separate ways, Hay embarked on a solo career, putting out 11 albums. Songs from his solo albums have been featured on television shows “Dawson’s Creek,” “Judging Amy,” “Scrubs” and the

The plight of young Kurdish girls in eastern Turkey is of particular concern to Max Hatfield and Friendship International. Illiterate and unskilled, these girls are prime targets for terrorist-recruiting groups but Friendship International has opened a door of hope for these young girls, through a small carpet workshop in eastern Turkey. Girls are being trained to weave kilims - tribal flat weaves, which are brought to the U.S. and sold. Proceeds from the kilims are used to pay for health care and literacy education, giving the girls the possibility of rising beyond their circumstances. This project has prevented many girls from being recruited by terrorist groups. Also on display and for sale will be hand woven rugs purchased from Kurdish families. Some pieces are more than 80 years old.

The Tri-Lakes Center for the Arts will present a concert by former Men at Work frontman Colin Hay on April 20. This is the first time Hay has performed at TLCA and is one of the biggest acts that has graced the stage at TLCA. Courtesy photo movie “Garden State.” Hay’s was also featured on the “The Larry Sanders Show.” From 1996-2002 Hay reunited for tours with one of the Men at Work band members, Greg Ham. They also had the opportunity to play at the closing ceremony during the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. Ham died last year, and Hay said when Ham

died, he lost his best friend. Hay’s “Finding My Dance” tour is an inner search. “It’s really trying to find your voice. Doing what you’re supposed to be doing,” Hay’s said. “It’s not getting caught up in the past.” Hay’s said he loves performing and writ-

ing music. “It’s my hobby as well as my job,” he added. Hay’s will bring his solo, acoustic tour to TLCA on April 20. The show begins at 7 p.m. and advance tickets are $25 for TLCA members and $30 for nonmembers. Tickets are $5 more at the door. For tickets or more information call 719-481-0475 or www. trilakesarts.org. “I love Colorado. It’s beautiful. I love everywhere I play,” Hay said.

Author presents the `real’ Baby Doe Tabor PLHS April presentation to feature Colorado’s `Silver Queen’ By Norma Engelberg

nengelberg@ourcoloradonews.com Despite the number of books written about Colorado’s favorite female mining legend Elizabeth Tabor, there’s more to tell and award-winning author Joyce B. Lohse has the scoop. The Palmer Lake Historical Society invites the public to hear “Mining For The Real Baby Doe” at 7 p.m. on April 18 at the Palmer Lake Town Hall, 28 Valley Crescent, for a fascinating presentation by Lohse about the woman who was nicknamed “Baby” Doe: The Miners’ Sweetheart while working the Fourth of July Mine in Central City

One of Colorado’s most famous women, Baby Doe Tabor, is the subject of a new book by Joyce Lohse, who will make a presentation on Tabor for the Palmer Lake Historical Society on April 18. Courtesy photos

with her first husband Harvey Doe. Baby Doe divorced Doe and secretly married the still-married Horace Tabor in September 1882. They married again for real on March 1, 1883. When silver crashed in 1893, Horace Tabor’s fortunes crashed with it. He died of appendicitis in 1899, leaving Baby Doe and their two daughters penniless. In early March of 1935, Baby Doe’s frozen body was discovered on the floor of a shack outside the Matchless Mine in Leadville where she had lived alone since about 1900. When she died, she was already a legend and a subject for operas, plays, musicals and numerous books and magazine articles. Lohse is the author of “Baby Doe Tabor: Matchless Silver Queen.” In her presentation, she reveals how she manages to tell a familiar story in a different light. She also describes her adventures while researching the Tabor family tale so she could find new and interesting perspectives to share with her readers and audience. “I started working on Baby Doe just before the state historical library closed for two years,” she said. “I wasn’t ready but I ended up madly racing around the library. I didn’t know what I was looking at but I did take copious notes.” In a way, closing the state library was a blessing. The closure sent Lohse to places she would never have seen otherwise, including one that had a collection of her cookbooks. “At first I thought `oh, that’s nice’ but then I realized that these were the everyday things that were most important to her,” she said. “She wrote things in the margins, including home remedies. It was like looking into her medicine cabinet.” Besides this biography, Lohse has also written about such figures as Gen. William Palmer, Justina Ford and Molly Brown, as part of the “Now You Know Bios” history series for Young Adults published by Filter Press, a

Trio vital cog in Discovery’s swimming success Luke Robert, Jerry Hills and Prakhar Singal lead the way for the Thunder By Danny Summers

sports@ourcoloradonews.com COLORADO SPRINGS – Luke Robert, Jerry Hills and Prakhar Singal are founding members of the Discovery Canyon Campus boys swimming team. Through their efforts, the Thunder has risen to a top program in the state. The trio is the last three remaining members of the inaugural Thunder team from 2010. “To watch these guys grow into young men is a pleasure,” said Discovery Canyon swimming coach Terre Christensen. “They’ve helped build this team. Other swimmers look up to them.” The three captains joined the squad under different circumstances. Robert (pronounced Row-Bear) arrived in Colorado Springs when his father, Dennis, was transferred to NORAD. Dennis Robert is a member of the Canadian Royal Air Force. “I planned on concentrating on basketball in high school,” said Luke Robert, whose 6-foot-6 frame makes him one of the tallest swimmers in the state. “But I gave that up after a couple of years, grew gills and started swimming.” Robert appears to have made the right choice. He is a three-time state qualifier in the 50 and 100 freestyle, as well as a key member of the relay teams. At last year’s Class 4A state meet, he finished second in the 50 free and 4th in the 100 free. Interestingly, Robert never swam club until last summer, choosing instead to focus mainly on his academics. He will attend McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, where he will study microbiology and biology. He hopes to become a cardiologist. “Luke is not afraid to set high goals,” Christensen said. “He takes a disappointment or a failure and turns it into a positive.” Singal is also a three-time state qualifier. He specializes in the 100 fly and 100 breast, as well as relays. He and Robert were mem-

Discovery Canyon Campus seniors Prakhar Singal, left, Luke Robert, center, and Jerry Hills helped the Thunder to an eighth-place state finish last year in Class 4A. Photo by Danny Summers bers of last year’s 200 free and 400 relay teams that each finished fourth at the state meet. “We lift each other up,” said Singal, who is a member of the Falfins club team. “We’re always encouraging each other.” Singal also desires to work on the medical field. He was recently accepted to Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore where he plans to study cellular biology. He hopes to someday work as a pathologist. “Prakhar has a very strong work ethic and he’s been a good leader for this program for four years,” Christensen said. Hills is a two-time state qualifier who specializes in the 200 free and 500 free. But he almost never went out for the team as a freshman. “I told his mom we will need every warm body we have to start this program,” Christensen recalls.

“Jerry didn’t have a lot of confidence back then. I took him to the state meet as a freshman and he stood next to me. He said ‘I’m going to make state next year.’ He did. He’s really turned into a swimmer. He’s one of the most versatile swimmers I have.” Hills will attend the Coast Guard Academy next fall, where he plans to study electrical engineering and swim. For now, however, he is helping the Thunder achieve greater things. “I love this team,” he said. “We’re all brothers and family.” Discovery Canyon finished eighth at state in 2012. The Thunder was ninth in 2011. “A top five finish is always the goal,” Robert said. “Maybe this is the year? “I would like to finish higher individually. If I do that will help bring everybody up and the team will do well.” Singal has enjoyed the journey and

knows the mission is not yet completed. “Our coach always reminds us that if we each take one bite of the elephant as a team we can do great things.” The Thunder is off to a great start this season. It defeated Cheyenne Mountain for the first time ever on March 20 (104-81). “When we won we were pretty fired up,” Hills said. “It was nice to finally beat them after all those years swimming against them at invites and walking away saying ‘They beat us again.’ Every day is a great day to beat Cheyenne Mountain.” The Thunder lost a close dual meet against 5A Coronado on March 13 (94-91). “We were beat down at practice,” Singal said. “It was our first big dual meet of the season as a team. The idea that we could beat a good team wasn’t fully developed.” The Thunder uses Liberty as its home pool this season.

Isaac Holt walks tall on and off the baseball field Discovery Canyon Campus shortstop leads a talented Thunder team By Danny Summers

sports@ourcoloradonews.com COLORADO SPRINGS – Inch for inch and pound for pound, Isaac Holt may be the best high school baseball player in the Tri-Lakes area. The Discovery Canyon Campus shortstop stands 5-feet-5, but he is a giant among his teammates and coaches. “He’s a leader; he’s the center of our team,” said Discovery Canyon coach Mike Barbato. “Everybody looks up to him. His work ethic is unmatched, and he ‘s always looking for little things during the game that will help us win the game.” Holt has spent much of his life trying to prove himself. The son of a preacher (his father, Steve, is the senior pastor at Mountain

Springs Church), Holt is fully aware that he is under a microscope of those who might be looking for him to slip up. The same holds true on the baseball field where he feels he is often times looked down upon because of his size. “I was playing in a summer league in Oklahoma last year with a bunch of (junior college) guys,” Holt said. “They came in on me the whole summer. I leaned to adjust my hands in and turn on the ball.” Holt ended up hitting .405 in the 19-under league. Holt’s double play partner is senior second baseman Andy Stauffer. The two are best friends. “It’s great to see a guy with good character enjoying the game and playing the game for all the right reasons,” Stauffer said of Holt. Holt more than holds his own in the field and at the plate, where he bats second in the potent lineup. A four-year starter, he hit .405 last season with three home runs, six doubles and 17 RBIs. His best offensive game was against The Classical Academy

when he was 5 for 6 with three RBIs and four runs scored. Holt helped the Thunder to a 13-8 record and an appearance in the District championship game against Air Academy. As a sophomore, Holt batted .359 with three doubles and 10 RBIs. Holt was honored by Discovery Canyon in November when he signed his national letter of intent to play baseball for Division I NebraskaOmaha. Holt is the first-ever Thunder baseball player to sign a Division Ischolarship. “I told the (Nebraska-Omaha) coaches ‘I will be starting,’” Holt said. “That’s my goal and focus. I hate being a liability.” Holt is hoping to play professional baseball someday. ‘I would love it if the opportunity presented itself to get drafted,” he said. Holt’s baseball career almost took a major turn for the worse two years ago when he tore his labrum following his sophomore campaign. He rested it for two months over the summer. Doctors told him he likely

would only have only about 60 to 70 percent throwing speed. “My dad and I prayed about it and I rested it one more week,” Holt said. “I came back pain free.” Holt is off to solid start this season, batting .476 with two doubles, a triple and seven RBIs. The Thunder has won three consecutive games since coming back from spring break with victories over Denver South (13-1), Thompson Valley (11-8) and Vista Ridge (18-3). Holt had his best game of the season against Vista Ridge, tallying two singles, a triple and scoring four times. The Thunder competes in the highly competitive Class 4A Pikes Peak Athletic Conference with the likes of Air Academy (state semifinalists in 2012), Cheyenne Mountainn (state champions in 2009 and 2011) and Palmer Ridge (state semifinalists in 2011). The Thunder is 3-2 overall, 1-2 in league. Its losses came against Air Academy before spring break by scores of 13-0 and 15-11 before spring break.
