Holiday Food program needs donations Tri-Lakes Cares provides local families meals at Thanksgiving and Christmas By Rob Carrigan

rcarrigan @coloradocommunitymedia.com Tri-Lakes Cares has lot to be thankful for as we head into the holiday season, but the local organization sure would like to help more. “Each year, we run our annual holiday food program because so many families in this community will not be able to provide a Thanksgiving and Christmas meal for their loved ones. We do this by collecting food from the Harvest of Love food drive that is hosted by the Kiwanis and School District 38, and by purchasing the food that is still needed after the donations have been collected, says Julie Seeger, programs manager for Tri-Lakes Cares. “I recently found out that the funding for our holiday food program is greatly reduced in comparison to last year’s budget and we are desperately in need of help to raise the funds needed to buy holiday food. If we are not able to raise the money needed to purchase food, we won’t be able to provide every family with the essential foods needed to cook a traditional holiday meal.” Seeger said. “Our biggest need right now is to collect monetary donations for these holiday food bags.” “I already work with so many groups and businesses in the Tri-Lakes area to spread

Monetary donations must be designated for holiday food and this can be done by either writing “holiday food” in the memo line of a check or by placing cash in an envelope with “holiday food” written on it.

Courtesy photos awareness of my programs, as well as the programs and events of other groups, such as the Monument Library and the Tri-Lakes YMCA. I would love help increase our ability to serve this amazing community that we call home,” she noted. “For Thanksgiving and Christmas, we provide local families with a bag of food used to make a traditional holiday meal. We fill the bags with boxed mashed potatoes, canned vegetables, pie filling, canned yams, stuffing, and other non-perishable holiday-themed

foods from our pantry. We get most of that food from the Harvest of Love food drives that take place in District 38 schools. We then purchase King Soopers gift certificates for each family that they can use to buy a turkey and other perishable foods to complete their meal. Funding for those gift certificates was previously provided by an organization that was not able to participate this year. Because of this, the gift certificates for turkeys will be much smaller if we cannot get donations from the community to help pay for them,” Seegar said. “We are expecting to help 250 families this holiday season with both Christmas and Thanksgiving, and all donations are greatly appreciated and go directly to supporting these clients. It truly does take the entire community coming together to make the holiday

season a happy one for everyone in the TriLakes area,” she said. Monetary donations must be designated for holiday food and this can be done by either writing “holiday food” in the memo line of a check or by placing cash in an envelope with “holiday food” written on it. “We also always appreciate food donations, as they help keep our pantry stocked and feed families year-round,” she added. “We love to take pictures of groups that donate and include them in our monthly eblast newsletter! We can also give tours of the facility to show donors all that we do to help out our neighbors,” Seegar said. Tri-Lakes Cares can accept donations Mondays and Thursdays from 12 to 3 p.m., or by calling Julie Seeger at 719-481-4864, Ext. 104, to arrange for a different date and time.

Silke Sauppe, former Hitler Youth member, shared her emotional story By Danny Summers

dsummers@coloradocommunitymedia.com History came alive for about 160 Prairie Winds Elementary School students on Veterans Day, Nov. 11. Silke Sauppe, a one-time member of the Hitler Youth, spoke to the fourth, fifth and sixth graders at the school and used a captivating slide show presentation to show some of the horrors she experienced during World War II. “When you are 10 years you have to join the Hitler Youth,” recalled Sauppe, 82. “I didn’t want to do it, but when you are 10 years old you belong to the Nazi leadership of Germany. You have no choice.” Though it’s been nearly 70 years since Sauppe was freed from the grasp of the Nazi regime, she still finds it difficult to relive some of her experiences. “We would meet twice a week, on Wednesday afternoon and Saturday afternoon, and it was terrible,” said Sauppe of being part of the Hitler Youth. “We all sang songs about Hitler, but the songs we knew as children we weren’t allowed to sing. We weren’t allowed to sing Christmas songs. It was horrible.” Sauppe was supposed to be joined at the assembly by Major Henry “Duke” Boswell, who fought in the “Battle of the Bulge” and is the last known survivor who made four combat parachute jumps behind enemy lines during World War II. But Boswell, 91, was unable t make the event on the snowy, cold day – in which temperatures dipped into the low teens – because he was recovering from a recent bout with pneumonia. Sauppe’s appearance at Prairie Winds was arranged by Joe Brandon, an ambitious fifth grader at the school. Brandon emailed his teacher, Deanna Skabo, a few weeks ago and told her he was personal friends with Boswell. One thing led to another and Sauppe was added to the program. “It’s important for kids my age to know why we fought (in World War II) and why it is important why we fought that war,” said Joe, whose mother, Kim Brandon, organized the event.” Veterans continues on Page 6

Lambert elected to serve on State Joint Budget Committee Senator represents Tri-Lakes area By Danny Summers

dsummers @coloradocommunitymedia.com Republican Colorado State Sen. Kent Lambert, who represents District 9, which includes the Tri-Lakes area, and Sen. Kevin Grantham, R-Canon City, were recently selected to serve on the Joint Budget Committee. The Senate Republican Caucus met on Nov. 11 to elect leadership for the 2015 legislative session. Sen. Bill Cadman, R-Colorado Springs, was unanimously elected by his colleagues to serve as president of the Senate. Sen. Ellen Roberts, R-Durango, will serve as president pro tem, Sen. Mark Scheffel, R-Parker, will serve as the majority leader, Sen. Kevin Lundberg, R-Berthoud, will serve as assistant majority leader, Sen. Randy Baumgardner, R-Hot Sulpher Springs, will serve as Republican whip and Sen. Vicki Marble, R-Fort Collins, will serve as caucus chair. Republicans in the Colorado Senate celebrated their recent victory by donning Peyton Manning jerseys when they met on Nov. 11. Manning’s jersey, No. 18, was most significant aspect of the Senate Republicans wearing the jersey. Eighteen is the number of seats Republicans will hold in the state Senate, with Democrats falling into the minority with only 17 of the seats in the chamber. “Some of the mess that has taken place because of Democratic leadership will take the next four years to clean up,” Lambert said. “I look at this as a great opportunity for us to do some great things.” Serving as minority leader before this year’s election, Cadman and Lambert watched the Democratic majority pass plenty of bills he and his members did not like, including gun control, election laws, and civil unions. Lambert said people can expect each party to pass controversial bills in the chamber it controls. “You can expect the other chamber to

in the spending of tax dollars. At the heart of that process will be an evenly split joint budget committee, made up of three Republicans and three Democrats. “During our last session I was able to work with the governor’s budget office,

with several bills making a lot of progress,” Lambert said. The budget will need to be bipartisan in order to pass through both chambers and both sides will be angling for their priorities during the debate.

Springs Rescue Mission needs turkeys 750 turkeys needed by Nov. 21 By Danny Summers

dsummers @coloradocommunitymedia.com The Springs Rescue Mission, Catholic Charities of Central Colorado’s Marian House, Care and Share and Share Food Bank are joining forces again this holi-

day season. The “Turkey Team’s” goal is to raise enough turkeys collectively to meet the need of southern Colorado neighbors in need this holiday season. Any turkeys raised in excess of Springs Rescue Mission’s goal of 750 will be put to good use by Care and Share. For thousands of our homeless neighbors and impoverished families around

the city, a hearty Thanksgiving meal is out of the question without help. And for many of them, the good nutrition that such a meal would provide is vital. Will you give a turkey to a homeless or impoverished neighbor this Thanksgiving season? Every bird we collect will be used to feed the homeless at our annual great Thanksgiving banquet or be put in

a Thanksgiving food box and given to a family living below the poverty line. Our goal this season: 750 turkeys. Bring a bird (or three) to the warehouse (5 W Las Vegas Ave. in Colorado Springs) during open hours by Nov. 21. Thank you. For more information, visit springsrescuemission.com.

A statewide effort to encourage donations of new socks for those without permanent shelter has now also launched in the Tri-Lakes area, with two donation sites. The campaign aims to help meet the needs of a homeless and indigent population in the Tri-Lakes area. The Sock It To Em Sock Campaign hopes to cover the feet of as many men, woman and children in need as possible before the new year. “We launched the effort in Denver in 2012, but in two years the program has grown way beyond Denver and even outside of Colorado to New Mexico, Texas, Virginia, Arizona, California and beyond,” said Susan Elizabeth Lee, who founded the program along with Denver area resident Phillis Shimamoto. “Denver was a good place to start because of the growing number of homeless that have already had to endure bonechilling temperatures this year. By encouraging local residents to donate new socks to those in need, we hope to help everyone survive the winter in colder climes. Warm, dry feet are important to the survival of those living outside or in substandard conditions in deeply cold environments. Because socks wear out faster than any other article of clothing, we ask that all sock donations be made with brand new socks,” Lee said. “It’s estimated that one out of every four homeless individuals is a child – that’s just heartbreaking,” said Palmer Lake resident Karen Stuth, who has for the past two years donated her time as a seasonal director of marketing for the campaign. “If we can make sure their feet are warm for the holidays and the long Colorado winter, we will be doing something significant to help them.” This year the campaign includes three special Sock Days. No Socks To Work Day will be held on the second Wednesday of December and is aimed at inspiring workers who live or work in the Tri-lakes area and beyond to forego their socks, donate brand new pairs of socks, and sport bare ankles during their workday in a show of support for the campaign. School children can participate through No Socks to School Day, also held on the same day. No Socks to Church Day will be held on the first Sunday of December. Participants in any Sock Day event can email photographs of their sockless participation to Karen@sockittoemsockcampaign.org for inclusion on the Sock It To Em Sock Campaign website. Donations of new socks for the Sock It To Em Sock Campaign can be made at The Bee’s Knees Embroidery at 251 Front Street in Monument.Owner Jacinda Nelson has pledged to make a matching donation of a pair of new socks for every new pair donated. In Palmer Lake, donations can be made at Palmer Lake BBQ and Country Store at 56A Highway 105, where owner Darmi Coon will offer $1 off a BBQ sandwich for every donation made. In addition, anyone can become a Sock Ambassador, set up a collection box at their place of business, their local church or other, or can contribute as a Sock Ambassador in many other ways.A complete list of ways to participate is also available on the organization website at www.sockittoemsockcampaign.org/Participate. “We know we can count on the good people of the TriLakes and beyond to help us make a difference for their community in need,” said Lee.“If people can spare the cost of a new pair of socks, they’ll make an enormous contribution to the lives of people who cannot afford the same.”

Joe Brandon added that he felt it was important to have only the fourth through six graders at the event. “I felt the younger kids would not understand,” Joe said. Kim Brandon, who runs a small public relations firm in Monument, was noticeably bummed that Boswell was unable to attend the event, but was hoping to reschedule him for a later date; perhaps Dec. 7 (Pearl Harbor Day). Kim is working on a project to help raise funds for Boswell to visit the four spots in Europe where he made jumps behind enemy lines. Prairie Winds principal Aileen Finnegan introduced Sauppe to the assembly crowd, which also included about 75 adults. “For our kids to be able to meet someone who actually lived through a horrible time in a war sends a very powerful message,” Finnegan said. “They may not appreciate it today, but someday it will have an impact on them.” Skabo said her fifth-grade students have some knowledge of World War II and are somewhat familiar with the atrocities that took place in Hitler’s Germany. “They’ll learn more the second semester, so this is a great introduction into some of the things we will be talking about,” Skabo said. “I am very glad that Joe brought this to my attention and that we were able to arrange this assembly.” Sauppe doesn’t consider herself a hero. For many years she resisted offers to share her story. She has since softened her position and has even told her story on DVD’s for future generations to learn from. “There was great fear (in Nazi Germany),” said Sauppe, who lived in Lubeck, Germany during World War II with her parents and three siblings. “There were many people against Hitler, including my mother and my father, but nobody could tell the truth. We were all so afraid of him.” Sauppe added that her fear escalated at 11:18 p.m. on March 28, 1942, when Lubeck was bombed by the British Royal Air Force. “It was hell on earth,” she said. “I can still hear the whistle of the bombs dropping, three at a time. I will never forget the fear, the anguish, the screams and prayers of the people with us. It was raining bombs without stopping. I wanted to run away. “We wondered if we would live through it. Our lives changed drastically. It was horrible.”

Yesterday Beatles Tribute Band coming to TLCA The Tri-Lakes Center for the Arts will host the event Nov. 22 By Danny Summers

dsummers @coloradocommunitymedia.com Don Bellezzo graduated from college 25 years ago and became a Beatle for life. Sort of. Bellezzo, who plays John Lennon in Yesterday The Beatles Tribute Band, will perform with the other cast members of the Fab Four Saturday, Nov 22, at the Tri-Lakes Center for the Arts. The band will perform the Beatles’ early music; essentially from 1962 to 1966. “We play all around the world and we are looking forward to playing in Tri-Lakes,” Bellezzo said. “We love doing the songs and we perform them all in their original key.” Bellezzo favorite song is “Help.” “I love the lyrics and I love the melody of it,” Bellezzo said. Bellezzo and his band will perform for about two hours with an intermission. Advance tickets are $20 for TLCA members and $25 for non-members. Door Tickets are $25 for TLCA members and $30 for non-members. “I’ve been working on booking these guys for some time,” said TLCA president Michael Maddox. “They put on a really dynamite show.” The other cast members of Yesterday include Rich Fazzi as Paul McCartney, Monte Mann as George Harrison, and Dick Cunico as Ringo Starr. Cunico is from Colorado Springs and has also performed as a supporting percussionist for Everly Brothers and Buddy Holly tributes. He has also starred in numerous musical revues throughout his career. His favorite Beatles’ song is “Act Naturally,” which Starr performed on the albums. Bellezzo plays a convincing John Lennon and quickly engages the audience. “Once you hear ‘Revolution’ and ‘Twist and Shout’ you can’t ‘Help’ but ‘Imagine’ you have relived the real legend on stage,” Bellezzo said. Yesterday is considered one of the more authentic sounding Beatles tribute bands.

Yesterday The Beatles Tribute band is considered the most authentic sounding and looking of all the Beatles tribute bands. Courtesy photos Bellezzo said that his band won a lawsuit against Apple Records – the company founded by The Beatles in 1968. “Apple thought we sounded too much like the real Beatles and tried to get us to stop playing,” Bellezzo said. Based in Las Vegas, Yesterday Beatles tribute show bands have performed their long-running show all over the world. They had a three-year run in Atlantic City at the Tropicana Casino Resort , and an eight-month stint at the Horizon Casino Hotel in Lake Tahoe. They also played for five months in the Tiffany Theater at the Tropicana in Las Vegas, as well as numerous Beatles tribute shows in New York. “I love doing this and I hope we can keep doing it for many more years,” Bellezzo said.

Elements of truth and good stories James P. Beckwourth had a reputation for being able to tell a good yarn. And that was exactly what he did, in dictating his autobiography to Thomas Bonner. Bonner, a Justice of the Peace in the California Gold fields, of course was obliged to add ‘improve’ certain details himself in “The Life and Adventures of James P. Beckwourth, Mountaineer, Scout, and Pioneer, and Chief of the Crow Nation of Indians.” Amazingly, most of it contained elements of truth. “… While Beckwourth certainly had a tendency to exaggerate numbers or to occasionally make himself the hero of events that happened to other people, later historians have discovered that much of what Beckwourth related in his autobiography actually occurred,” according to beckwourth.org. Born April 6, 1798, in Fredricksburg, Virginia, (his father an Irish American plantation owner and his mother, a Negro slave) Jim Beckwourth was educated by his father, and could read, write and spoke Spanish, French and multiple Indian dialects. “An often-told story has it that when the book appeared, a group of miners who were well-acquainted with Beckwourth, commissioned one of its members to pick up a copy

while on a trip to San Francisco. But the man, being careless, got a copy of the Bible instead. In the evening, he was requested to read aloud from the long-awaited book, and opening it at random, he hit upon and read the story of Sampson and the foxes,” according to beckwourth.org. “That’ll do!” one of the men cried. “I’d know that story for one of Jim’s lies anywhere!” One local story, told by Beckwourth himself, involved the legend of Jimmy Camp. Beckwourth related a tale of Jimmy Boyer (other historians have said his last name was Hayes or Daugherty) “a little dwarf Irishman” who had established a cabin and fort about 10 miles east of what is now the center of Colorado Springs. Jimmy would trade items

brought from ‘civilization’ to trade with the Indians for furs. “His wagon train would follow a segment of the Cherokee Trail (before it was the Cherokee Trail) north from the Pueblo area, and his route was called Jimmy Camp Trail, which gave the name to Jimmy Camp Creek,” writes Perry Eberhart in “Ghosts of the Colorado Plains.” Jimmy would then light a bonfire on the top of a hill to signal that he had returned and it was time to trade. By all accounts, the Indians liked and trusted Jimmy. Sometime from 1833 to 1835, however, Jimmy was murdered by Mexican bandits, it is believed. According to Beckwourth, he and Indian friends of Jimmy, tracked down the murders, slit their throats and hung them by their toes in a nearby tree. Today, the James P. Beckwourth Mountian Club of Denver pays tribute to the noted storyteller. “Jim crossed all cultural barriers during his 68 years, and the Club incorporates his life in its activities by storytelling, historical reenactment and written materials.” according to the Club.

I wrote first story on Brown Bombers 10 years ago

To Subscribe call 303-566-4100

Back in early summer of 2004 - hard to believe it was 10 years ago - I had the honor of writing my first of several stories for The Gazette on the Brown Bombers baseball team. It was a ground-breaking story as I unearthed information on the team made up of former black ball players who won Colorado Springs city championships in 1948 and 1949. I met with about nine members of the team at Howard’s World Famous Bar-BQ, which was located off of Fillmore in Colorado Springs. Howard was a great guy and his place was a favorite hangout of the Brown Bombers. The Brown Bombers, Howard, and a few other interested fans, had lunch and talked over good times from the past. My late friend, Tom Rogers – who owned the Manitou Cliff Dwellings – picked up the tab that day. Tom was a huge baseball fan and was enthralled by the stories of the former players, who spent the afternoon laughing and talking over days from more than a half a century before. We ran a two-page spread in the Gazette. I talked to a few of the players at their homes since they were not physically able (for health reasons) to attend our fun event at Howard’s. The Bombers were named in honor of boxer Joe Louis. He was a hero to many in the black community, especially during a time of extreme racial prejudice in America. The Bombers were formed in 1945 by

Justus Morgan and Ollie Bell. The team was full of fun-loving, hard-charging young men who played semipro baseball. They were an all-black team playing in an otherwise all-white league. And they lived in a community – and a country – that was just beginning to acknowledge the word integration Not that there were many more-talented teams around. The Bombers were good. They won back-to-back city championships in 1948 and 1949. They could hit. They could pitch. They could field. And they could run the bases like a team full of, well, Jackie Robinsons. The Bombers were originally named the “Clouds of Joy.” “I hated that name,” Justus Morgan told me. “Brown Bombers was a big improvement.” In the early days, the team’s equipment was sparse. They had nailed-together, taped-up bats and mismatched uniforms; each with a different individual sponsor on the back. They traveled in an old bus. During our time at Howard’s, I recall

former Bomber Larry Moss (who has since passed away) sitting in a wooden back chair with his hands folded and smiling as he told stories of his playing days with the club. To his left was his former Bombers’ teammate Sylvester Smith; bat in hand recalling similar stories from his youth. “We don’t get together as often as we used to,” Smith told me. “About once a year if we’re lucky. There aren’t many of us around anymore. We’re the last of `em. Most of the Bombers were graduates of Colorado Springs High School (now Palmer). They quickly recalled Colorado Springs being a much different town in the 1940a and 50s. And if you were black, you didn’t have the same rights as others. “Prejudice was here,” Bomber Joe Morgan told me. “Not nearly as severe as in the South, but it was here.” During that time, blacks were not allowed to eat at very many restaurants in town. If they attended the movie theatre, they were required to sit in the balcony. They could swim once a week (Wednesdays) at Monument Valley Park, according to Smith. “It was drained and cleaned Wednesday nights. Wednesday was `Black Folks Day.’” Smith said. “Elaborate picnic spreads, lots of joking and community love.” Former Bomber Sam Dunlap told me they were allowed to go to the Boys Club only on Wednesday nights. He added that Summers continues on Page 9

General Palmer and Dr. Bell Gen. Palmer and Dr. William A. Bell met when the general was putting together a survey party. He was working for the Kansas Pacific, and was working as a surveyor. He had found this job just after the Civil War. He was to find a route from Kansas to California. He gathered a team of men for the work. Dr. Bell had come from England looking for “adventure,” and saw that this team was looking for a photographer. He was not one, but he searched out one that would teach him the process. The general added him to his team, since a doctor might come in handy! After the survey was finished, both men wrote books about their experiences. Dr Bell’s proved to be a better selling item.

blacks were allowed to use the playground on one side of Prospect Lake, but had to swim on the other - the side with no lifeguard. While the rules of engagement were unfair off the field, baseball was baseball on the field – for the most part – no matter the color of your skin. To a man, the Bombers recalled few issues of prejudice between the lines. The game, they say, was the great equalizer. “But the fans in the stands would call us `nigger,’” Jesse Vaughan said. Moss recalled traveling to Grand Junction and back to Colorado Springs in the same day to play a day-night doubleheader. “They wouldn’t let us stay in any hotels in (Grand Junction),” Vaughn said. “We had to get back on the bus after the game and come back to Colorado Springs. That was a long day.” The Bombers shared more than a love for the game with Jackie Robinson. They, too, were targets of overt racism – especially when they were on the road, in places like Burlington, Limon and Grand Junction. Although the Bombers traveled throughout the state, they were limited to one-day journeys because they were prohibited from staying in hotels. “In some of those towns, the atmosphere was tense, a lot of racial namecalling,” Dunlap told me. “Like, ‘Strike that coon out,’ and, `We don’t want no niggers in our town.’ It wasn’t from everybody, and usually the sheriff would apologize and escort the bad ones out of the park. “It didn’t distract the older guys too much, but it really affected me, because I was so much younger and didn’t know how to handle the situation.” Sometimes, the harassment would go beyond epithets from the stands or the other team’s dugout. Sometimes, there would be pitches thrown at the Bombers’ heads, cleats directed at their shins, even

Many of the pictures he took are used in his book, but most did not survive! The two men developed a friendship during the trip. When they returned to Kansas, the railroad had decided to only build to Denver. The survey did not go to waste. The Santa Fe was looking to go in that direction and several of the men on Palmer’s team

bats “accidentally” hurled at the pitcher’s mound during a hitter’s follow-through. Racial incidents were rare when the Brown Bombers played their Colorado Springs rivals. Many of the players had played together in high school – Colorado Springs High School teams were integrated by then – and the Bombers were viewed as just another ballclub, albeit a good one. “They were very good athletes and a very good team, and they tried to beat you any way they could - and usually did,” recalled Will Perkins, a white player who played against the Bombers in the summer league. “They were all our friends – we never thought of `em as anybody but just a different team.” The Bombers disbanded in 1951 as the Korean War took players and they settled down. Fast pitch softball became the big sport in the city and the minor league Colorado Springs Sky Sox came to Memorial Park and grabbed a chunk of the fan base. Many of the former Brown Bombers went on to fine careers and remained in the area. Dunlap was the first black baseball coach in District 11 and the first black umpire to work a state championship game. Vaughn became a pastor at a large church and chaplain for the Colorado Springs Police Department. Smith worked for 26 years at the Fine Arts Center and served as a youth mentor. In October, the Brown Bombers were recognized for their place in local history when they were inducted into the Colorado Springs Sports Hall of Fame during its 15th annual banquet and ceremony. A majority of the 500 people seated at the Hall of Fame had never heard of the Brown Bombers until my article came out on them a decade ago. Five members of the Brown Bombers are with us today; Joe Morgan (88), Justus Morgan (86), Dunlap (81), Rev. Vaughan (91) and Smith (85). They received a five-minute standing ovation at our event. I am a better man for having known these men. If you see any of them around the area, please take the time to shake their hands and let them know how much you appreciate them.

became Santa Fe surveyors, working in the same area. Palmer had developed a plan to build a North-South railway, along the front range of the mountains. He envisioned a railroad from Mexico City to Canada. He would start at Denver, building south, first. In 1870, Palmer and Bell searched out investors for his new railroad. Bell proved to be a valuable link to England and Holland, where there were bankers looking to invest in the American West. Bell also had money to invest. As the railroad was going to build in open land, towns along the way would be needed. Bell bought land in areas where some of these towns would be built. One of these spots was near a little lake at the ridge which was

found extending from the mountains, out to the east. This spot had various names, but it is now known as Palmer Lake. Palmer invested in land closer to Colorado City he called Bijou, then being called Monument Park. He wanted to build his home on this land. After being shown a quiet little valley near Colorado City he abandoned his plans for Bijou. Today this land is part of the Air Force Academy. The spot where he built is now called Queen’s Canyon, in honor of his wife to be. The little railway was incorporated in October, 1870 as the Denver and Rio Grande. Soon after Bell and Palmer, along with Queen Mellen, his future wife, traveled to England for a wedding, honeymoon and search for investors.

The Brown Bombers were a black semi-pro baseball team based in Colorado Springs in the 1940s and early 1950s. They won city championships in 1949 and 1950. The Bombers were recently inducted into the Colorado Springs Sports Hall of Fame. Courtesy photo

Rangers enjoyed nearly perfect volleyball season and No. 1 national ranking Lewis-Palmer won its second consecutive state title Nov. 8 By Danny Summers dsummers @coloradocommunitymedia.com The Lewis-Palmer volleyball team won its second consecutive Class 4A state volleyball championship Nov. 8 at the Denver Coliseum to complete a 29-0 season. The Rangers were 83-5 in sets this fall. They only lost two sets in a match once all year. Lewis-Palmer ended the season as the nation’s top-ranked team by MaxPreps. The Rangers have a 56-2 record since the start of the 2013 season. Lewis-Palmer will only graduate two seniors - outside hitter Alexa Smith and right side hitter Nicole Montgomery. The girls signed their national letters of intent during a ceremony at the school on Nov. 12. Smith will play volleyball for Purdue, while Montgomery will run track for Kansas.

Lewis-Palmer gains No. 1 natonal ranking in volleyball Rangers were 29-0 this season and won second consecutive state championship By Danny Summers dsummers @coloradocommunitymedia.com Lewis-Palmer volleyball coach Susan Odenbaugh gets up early each morning. She went right to her computer upon wak-

ing up on Nov. 12. That was when Odenbaugh learned that her team was ranked No. 1 in the nation in the final MaxPreps Top 25 Volleyball Rankings. “I knew it was coming out so I got up about 3 o’clock this morning and checked and sure enough it was there and we were ranked the No. 1 team in the nation by MaxPreps,” an elated Odenbaugh announced to a crowd of around 500 people who gathered in the school’s gymnasium for the college signing party of two of her players - Alexa

Smith and Nicole Montgomery. “We couldn’t have done that without the leadership of these two seniors. They bought into the system. Both of them have been starters since their freshmen year, and they’ve established tradition that the underclassmen have worked hard to uphold.” Lewis-Palmer finished the season with a 29-0 record after defeating Ponderosa 2522, 15-22, 25-22, 25-12 Nov. 8 at the Denver Coliseum in the state championship finals match. The Rangers went a jaw-dropping 83-5 in sets this season.

Only 5A state champion Grandview won two sets against Lewis-Palmer this year, and that came in early September. Three teams scored single-set victories over the Rangers, while the other 25 opponents were shut out. Lewis-Palmer took over the top spot when previous No. 1 St. Ursula lost in the Ohio state title match on Nov. 8. Mercy (Louisville, Ky.) finished the season No. 2, while Brentwood, Tenn., ended No. 3 in the rankings.

Tri-Lakes winter prep sports teams officially begin practicing First events take place in early December By Danny Summers

dsummers @coloradocommunitymedia.com High School winter sports teams in the state were allowed to officially begin practices on Nov. 12 as per the Colorado High School Activities Association (CHSAA) rules. Tri-Lakes teams and individual athletes have had great success in recent years. The Lewis-Palmer boys’ basketball team won back-to-back Class 4A state championships in 2012 and 2013. The Rangers lost in the regional playoffs earlier this year after finishing an uncharacteristic fourth-place in the highly competitive Pikes Peak Athletic Conference. They were 13-12 overall. “We need to play one game at a time,” said Lewis-Palmer junior Jonathan Scott, who will split time between point guard and shooting guard. “Our next goal is to beat Pueblo Central Dec. 2. That’s our first game and that’s who we’re focusing on now.” Winter continues on Page 11

Winter Continued from Page 10

Scott saw considerable time as a freshman during the 2012-13 season. His older brother, Jordan - now playing for Idaho was a star on that team. His oldest brother, Josh, led the Rangers to the 2012 title and is a junior at Colorado. The majority of this year’s Rangers’ team is made up of juniors who started or made significant contributions as sophomores. Jonathan Scott was third on the team in scoring last season at 10.3 points per game. Junior Charlie Hovasse (11.0) was second on the team. The only player to graduate was Chase Stone, who led the team in scoring with about 14 points per game. “Chase was a big part of our team, but we bring back a lot of guys with a lot of experience,” said Lewis-Palmer junior forward Joe DeCoud, who averaged about five points and three rebounds per game last season. “We will play better basketball than last year. We’re more controlled and we know what we’re doing more.” Lewis-Palmer is coached by Bill Benton, who took over the program last season after Russ McKinstry stepped down to take the athletic director’s job at Chaparral in Parker. McKinstry is now the athletic director at Monarch in Louisville. “Being able to host a regional is always our goal,” said Benton, a long-time assistant under McKinstry. “It’s important to play at home and host a couple of those rounds and build some momentum going into the state tournament. “But we do really take things one game at a time. I know it’s coach speak, but we truly

believe that the most important game for us right now is Pueblo Central. And then when we’re done the most important game is the next team on our schedule. Guys have really bought into that mentality of worrying about what’s right in front of us and what we can control. The rest of it takes care of itself.” Both Palmer Ridge boys and girls basketball teams are coming off solid seasons. The boys (14-11) lost in regionals, while the girls (22-4) advanced to the state quarterfinals for the first time in school history. The Palmer Ridge boys are led by senior Matt Cameron (19.2 points). The Bears’ girls will likely be led by sophomore Sam Rippley (6.9 points). Discovery Canyon’s wrestling program should again be in the mix for the Class 4A team title, if not a few individual championships. Junior Sam Turner won a state title last season at 120 pounds after defeating Pueblo County’s Chris Sandoval for the second time in seven days. The win was extra special for Turner, who lost in the state finals as a sophomore. Several members of Discovery Canyon’s wrestling team play for the school’s football team, which is still in the playoffs. “I’m not too worried about those guys,” said Thunder wrestling coach Ron Sukle. “They’ll be ready when they’re ready. We don’t start cranking things up until after the first of the year, anyway.” The Lewis-Palmer girls’ swim team is a combined District 38 squad that also includes athletes from Palmer Ridge. The Rangers should be competitive in 5A, despite finishing 20th in the state last season. The Lewis-Palmer hockey team, also a combined District 38 squad, qualified for the playoffs last season after missing the postseason in 2013.

Lewis-Palmer duo of Smith and Montgomery finally ink scholarship deals Three other Tri-Lakes area athletes also signed college scholarships By Danny Summers

dsummers@coloradocommunitymedia.com Five days after leading the Lewis-Palmer volleyball team to its second consecutive Class 4A state championship and a No. 1 ranking in America, Alexa Smith and Nicole Montgomery signed their national letters of intent during a festive party at the school on Nov. 12. Smith, an all-American and two-time national team member known as “Hammer,” inked her deal with Purdue, where she is hoping to lead the Boilermakers to prominence as an outside hitter.

wait to see my times and training in a college level.” Montgomery is an all-American in ear. sprinter who aspires to compete in the mer Olympics someday. The speedster has won four state gold medals and owns three school records. She is also the all-time state 4A record holder in the 400 meters with a time of 53.44 seconds. That time was also fastest in the state last season at any classification. “Nicole has been a delightful athlete to work with,” said Lewis-Palmer track coach Nancy Pellow. “She is a really wonderful person. I can’t think of a time when she hasn’t given 100 percent.” Montgomery is especially excited about this track season. “I’m going to take a week to a week and

a half off and begin training for this track season.” Montgomery said. “I would like to set the all-time state record for the 400, so I need to get down to the 52s. If I start training now I should be able to get down to the 52s.” Montgomery added that she will miss volleyball, but at 5-foot-8 she did not think it was the best option for her in college. “I’ve been doing volleyball since fourth grade, but my potential is in track and I think I can excel there,” she said. Smith is arguably the best all-around volleyball player in state history. She finished her career with 1,857 kills (secondmost all-time). Her 545 kills as a freshman are second all-time for one season. Smith committed to Purdue in October 2013. She actually visited the school as an eighth-grader and put it at the top of her list. “I just felt like a fit in there,” Smith said. “I could just see myself play on that court.” Smith was the key player in leading Lewis-Palmer to three consecutive state

title games. The Rangers lost to Cheyenne Mountain her sophomore year. In four state matches this year Smith tallied 52 kills, 38 digs and 11 aces. “To win back-to-back state championships is just indescribable,” Smith said. Lewis-Palmer volleyball coach Susan Odenbaugh believes Smith’s career puts her in a special category. “Alexa has had a stellar career,” Odenbaugh said. “She has been simply incredible. The accolades she has received are well-deserved.” Smith, who also aspires to be an Olympian, was named the National Player of the Year (among juniors) her junior year by Volleyball.com, and has played on two USA national teams. Earlier this month, Smith also was named to the Under Armour Girls High School All-American First Team by the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA). Each of the players on the First Team will be invited to play in the Under Armour All-America Volleyball Match &

Skills Competition. The event will be held at Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City on Dec. 19th in conjunction with the 2014 AVCA Annual Convention. “Alexa has been a coach’s dream,” Odenbaugh said. “To coach somebody of her caliber I just feel so blessed. “When people talk about Alexa the first thing that comes out of their mouths is her grace and humility and poise.” Discovery Canyon held a signing ceremony in its gym for softball player McKenzie Surface. “Kenzie” or “Kenz” signed with Division II Colorado Mesa. The Classical Academy held a ceremony as well. Kim Krutsinger signed to play volleyball with Division I Jacksonville State, while Libby Miller signed to play lacrosse with Division I Iona. Krutsinger sat out this volleyball season for TCA. Palmer Ridge did not hold a signing ceremony.

Thunder rolls to semfinals with 47-7 thrashing at Delta No. 1 seed Discovery Canyon improves to 12-0 and will host Pueblo East Nov. 22 at District 20 Stadium By Danny Summers

dsummers @coloradocommunitymedia.com For the second time in as many seasons, Discovery Canyon will host No. 4 Pueblo East in a Class 3A state football playoff game at District 20 Stadium. The latest matchup between the two rivals will take place Nov. 22 in the semifinals. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. “They will make you earn everything you get,” said Thunder coach Shawn Mitchell of Pueblo East. “They are a good team and it’s no surprise they are in the semifinals.” No. 1 seed Discovery Canyon (12-0) and No. 4 Pueblo East (9-3) are certainly no strangers. They have met in the regular season each of the last four years, with the Thunder winning the last three times. Dis-

covery Canyon won this year’s game 27-21 in Week 4 Sept. 19 at District 20 Stadium. Discovery Canyon’s only loss to Pueblo East since 2011 was in the first round of the state playoffs last season by a score of 4713. Discovery Canyon was the No. 1 seed at the time, while Pueblo East was the 16th and final seed. “We remember last year very well,” Mitchell said. “Pueblo East came ready to play.” The Thunder’s main concern is Pueblo East junior quarterback Daniel Martin. The Eagles’ star has thrown for 1,518 yards and nine touchdowns, and has 929 yards rushing and 12 touchdowns. Pueblo East’s other main offensive weapon is sophomore running back Bryson Torres, who leads the team in rushing yards (1,158 yards) and rushing touchdowns (17). “Martin was very good when we played them in the playoffs last year,” Mitchell said. “He didn’t play in our regular season game against them so we didn’t know a whole lot about him.” Mitchell, his staff and players familiarized themselves with Martin on Nov. 14 when Pueblo East played at Palisade in a

quarterfinals game. Pueblo East won the game 28-14. The Thunder played nearby Delta in a quarterfinals game on Nov. 15 and spent the previous night in Grand Junction. That allowed them to scout Pueblo East and get a good night’s rest before its 1 p.m. kickoff at No. 9 Delta. The Thunder had no problem with Delta in a 47-7 blowout. Discovery Canyon scored the final 47 points after Delta (8-4) had an early lead. Thunder senior quarterback Andrew Hall had three rushing touchdowns and also threw for one. Hall has accounted for 33 touchdowns this season - 23 on the ground and 10 through the air. But Hall was not the only star for the Thunder against Delta. Senior fullback/defensive end Blake Lawrie was impressive on both sides of the line. He rushed for a game-high 140 yards on just nine carries. He also recorded a quadfecta on defense when he sacked Delta quarterback Cade Gafford, forcing a fumble, recovering it and returning the ball 26 yards for a touchdown and a 26-7 lead mid-

way through the second quarter. Thunder senior running Spencer Chambers rushed for 113 yards and a touchdown, and also caught Hall’s touchdown pass. Scott Betzer also scored a rushing touchdown for Discovery Canyon. “We didn’t look back after we got the lead,” Mitchell said. “The offense did what they were supposed to do. The offensive line did a really great job up front, and the defense did another great job.” Discovery Canyon has scored 40-ormore points in seven games this season. The Thunder advanced to the quarterfinals with a first-round victory over No. 16 Berthoud, 41-0. Pueblo East defeated No. 13 Canon City, 35-7, in its first-round playoff game. Discovery Canyon played at Canon City in its season finale, and defeated the Tigers, 34-31, in overtime. If Discovery defeats Pueblo East, it would host the state championship game Nov. 29 at District 20 Stadium against the winner of No. 6 Rifle (11-1) vs. No. 10 Fort Morgan (10-2).
