Beer garden part of the festivities for the first time Events pack the Independence celebration schedule By Rob Carrigan

rcarrigan @coloradocommunitymedia.com Breweries all over this independent nation claim Ben Franklin presented the idea that “Beer is proof that God loves us, and wanted us to be happy.” Unlikely that he really said that — but as Independent revelers descend on Monument this July Fourth, they can at least embrace the sentiment. For the first time, a beer garden has been included in the Tri-Lakes celebration. Barriers will fence off an area in Limbach Park over the Friday holiday and Coors, Coors Light, Killian’s, and Blue Moon will be offered at $5 per glass, starting at 10 a.m. Two varieties of Mike’s Hard Lemonaid will also be available and the area will close at 9 p.m. Appropriate I.D. is required for drinks, but everyone is welcome in the park Bands and food trucks from the street fair will still be available in the evening and the tip jar will be shared with TriLakes Relay for Life. “It is the first time, and it really should be an exciting, fun activity,” says TriLakes Chamber Office Manager Julie Matalus. Franklin would approve, and did write, “Behold the rain which descends from heaven upon our vineyards, there it enters the roots of the vines, to be changed into wine, a constant proof that God loves

The Annual Children’s parade begins at 9:30 a.m. followed by the Main Parade at 10; both sponsored by the Monument Hill Kiwanis Club. Courtesy photo us, and loves to see us happy.” Other events include: The Barn Dance with live music at Sibell’s Barn behind 231 Front St. in Monument is sponsored by Dorothy and Si Sibell night before on July 3rd to kick-off the holiday celebration. Tickets at the

door: $10 per person; $15 per couple. The Palmer Lake July 4th 33rd Annual Fun Run, sponsored by Palmer Lake Elementary School, is a fast four-mile run on the Santa Fe Trail. Participants are to begin at Palmer Lake and end in Monument in time for the parade and festivities. This

is a point to point race. Bus transportation back to Palmer Lake will be available after the race. Register at either the Palmer Lake or Monument library or online at

By Danny Summers

dsummers @coloradocommunitymedia. com The June 24 primary had many registered voters in El Paso County keeping a close eye on the GOP congressional race between incumbent Doug Lamborn and retired two-star Air Force General Bentley Rayburn. But it was just another night at County election headquarters for clerk and recorder Wayne Williams and his trusted staff. Williams ran unopposed in his bid to earn the GOP nomination for November’s secretary of state election, so he didn’t have to sweat out any race or attend a party. Instead, Williams spent time making sure the whole election process ran according to plan for voters around the County. “This went very smoothly” said Williams, a Tri-Lakes area resident. “We plan for each election more than a year ahead of time and we began planning for this before last November’s election and made adjustments as we needed to.” The election was all mail-in, meaning that every vote was essentially absentee. Williams noted that there were 11 drop-off boxes throughout the county to assist voters in saving postage to mail-in their ballots. According to Williams, 2,081 ballots were collected at the Monument drop-off box, located near the Monument Town Hall along Highway 105 — across from the busy Safeway shopping

GOP Congressman Doug Lamborn won his primary on June 24 and will run in the November election. Courtesy photo center. There was no drop-box in Palmer Lake. “We typically see the Tri-lakes area vote very strongly,” Williams said. “Last November there was a bond issue and the Tri-Lakes area had the highest turnout for any area in the County. “The more people have to vote on the more likely they are to vote. And when they see how it directly impacts them they seem to get out and vote.” Williams noted that the Palmer Lake vote may have been even stronger this go-around since the U.S House District 20 from that area was gerrymandered with the Broadmoor area of town. “Terri Carver was elected (June 24) to be the Republican candidate in Palmer Lake, Rockrimmon, the Broadmoor and Mountain Shadows.,” Williams said. The details and location of the drop-off box in Monument was actually worked out earlier this year when Travis Easton was still may-

or of Monument,” Williams said. “That turned out to be a very popular location.” Williams and his staff have spent many hours and chatted with a lot of folks regarding where the best areas in the County would be for drop-off boxes. “We only have 11 drop-off boxes county-wide and the goal was to try and get everybody within about 10 minutes,” Williams said. “Because the Monument drop-off box is on that northwest corner of Monument it’s actually fairly easy for Palmer Lake residents to cast a ballot there as well. Plus, in most instances they’re likely to be coming up or down Highway 105 to get to places.” The drop-off boxes and voters service polling centers for November’s general election will be expanded to reach even more voters in the Tri-Lakes area. In addition to Monument Town Hall, Tri-Lakes area votes can find drop-off boxes and voter service polling centers

at Donald Westcott Fire Protection District (main station off Gleneagle Blvd.), Forestgate Presbyterian Church (970 North Gate Road) and Black Forest Fire/Rescue (11445 Teachout Road.) “We want to space them out so we make it convenient for everyone,” Williams said. “We hit 96 percent of the people in 10 minutes.” The western part of the County (Green Mountain Falls and Cascade) is taken care of by the Manitou Springs drop-off box and voter service polling center at Monument Town Hall. Despite running for office in November, Williams will still run the election. “There are lots of safeguards in place,” Williams said. “I don’t actually handle or program any of the machinery. I don’t have codes to the rooms where the ballots are. I have to have a staff member go in a room with me if I do go in one. We go to great measures to take proper security precautions.”

GERARD HEALEY President ROB CARRIGAN Publisher and Editor STEPHANIE OGREN Copy Editor DANNY SUMMERS Community Editor VIC VELA State Desk Reporter

Still eating is enough, here in the hardscrabble His answer was always the same: “Still eating.” Rain or shine, good times or bad, my grandfather always answered that way, when anybody asked him, “How is it going?” or “How are you?” or “How do you do?” He had other little endearing comments and sayings of course (for example, calling black table pepper the Sioux word for fly poop). But “Still eating,” was his trademark and it reflected his hardscrabble existence as a homestead rancher on the Western Slope of Colorado. Owen Carrigan, my granddad, filed his first Colorado homestead claim 1914. After subsequently ‘proving up’ on that, and additional filings, he ran cattle, sheep and other livestock and harvested alfalfa hay for nearly half a century on Morapos Creek near the Hamilton turnoffm, between Craig and Meeker. Prior to that, he hailed from Minnesota country, by way of the Dakotas. He came here to escape Asthma, and finish recovering from a broken leg he suffered when a horse fell with him while punching cows for a Texas-owned outfit in the Dakotas. His mother, Minnie Buce Carrigan, wrote the popular book “Captured by the Indians, Reminiscences of Pioneer Life in Minnesota.” It is an account of the murder of father, mother, two sisters, and her captivity among the Sioux after the 1862 uprising and her subsequent experience as an orphan. In the book, she describes her life as a young German immigrant girl prior to her capture and the ten weeks she lived with her captors until being freed by

the United States Army. In a state where “whiskey is for drinking and water is for fighting over,” two bodies of water in Rio Blanco County bear granddad’s name, Owen Carrigan Reservoir and Owen Carrigan Ditch. I am proud of the fact that, as a family, we go way back around here. Not everyone can say that. Even after he sold the ranch, he counted irrigation as one of his favorite chores. He liked to make the ditches run. I am probably around to tell stories today, however, because he had a healthy respect for fast moving water. He saved my life one morning when I was about six or seven when he fished me out of the opening in irrigation tube near the ‘Grand’ as he called it, or Colorado River, before I could be sucked down the tube into oblivion. Grandma would have given him hell, however, if he somehow managed to allow one of the grandkids to drown while he was checking ditches. When I was very young, my grandfather would take me with him as he caroused downtown Grand Junction. The trip usually involved a jaunt into a hardware store, where he ended up buying me something like an electric drill, or bench vice, or a set

of wood chisels. I think his reasoning was twofold. He was concerned about whether or not I would have the proper tools to survive in the modern world; and he wanted to encourage my creative side, that he saw when I spent hours trying to make boats, cars, spaceships, and such, with the tools on his extensive work bench at the back of his house. He was a pretty fair blacksmith, ferrier, and agricultural mechanic, himself. Though he tended to cobble stuff together, using whatever scrap material he could scare up. Another part of those downtown trips involved a stop at one or more bars in town. My granddad like to make his own beer, but he also always enjoyed company while he drank it, and the bars offered that. That might have been where I picked up my eventual calling, as I listened and learned the art of story telling from the old cowboys, and steam tractor mechanics, and loggers and miners and bums. Some of the stories were even about him, though I was young enough, and was mostly concerned with the Coca-Cola in a beer glass, I don’t recall all the details. Always, always, always, the folks in the bar seemed to enjoy the salutatory greeting when his shadow graced the door. ““How is it going?” or “How are you?” or “Howdy do?” they called out. But as my grandfather was prone to say, there really was only one answer that could come back. “Still eating,” his reply. And that was more than enough, then.

Harry Hughes was definitely an old-school coach Harry Hughes, one of the Colorado’s great sports pioneers, will be inducted into the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Sports Hall of Fame on July 11. Sadly, few people are aware of Hughes or his amazing accomplishments at Colorado State University in the first half of the 20th century. Hughes, who died in 1953 at the age of 65, was known as the Dean of Rocky Mountain Coaches. He arrived on the campus of then Colorado Agricultural College in September of 1911 and forever changed athletics at the school known today as Colorado State University. A 1908 graduate of the University of Oklahoma, Hughes molded and shaped the Colorado Aggies in football and track to become one of the premier college athletic programs in the Rocky Mountain Region. He also coached basketball and baseball for a brief period, but it was his football teams - that won eight conference championships between 1915 and 1934 - that gained the school national attention. In his fist year on the job, Hughes made it known that he was in charge of athlet-

ics by telling district attorney (and future Colorado Governor) George Carlson that he did not want anyone helping him coach his teams. Prior to Hughes’ arrival, Carlson had a group of Fort Collins businessmen that had acted as assistant football coaches, but Hughes wanted no part of that on his team. Hughes also told his players he was in charge and that they were not the assistant coaches. As track coach, Hughes won five conference championships, produced seven All-Americans, including 1931 hammer national champion Ivan Dykeman. Hughes also coached 1936 Olympic Decathlon

Gold Medalist Glenn Morris, who graduated from Simla High School. Hughes took Morris under his wing, both as a student and after his graduation, to help him train for the 1936 Olympics. He even made Morris his assistant coach in football and track to allow him to train at the college gym. After Morris won the gold medal in Berlin, Germany, and was named the World’s Greatest Athlete, he had Hughes stand up as his best man in his December 1936 wedding. Hughes integrated college football ahead of other Colorado schools beginning in 1939. He is responsible for helping the school build Colorado Field, the Glenn Morris Field House and he laid out the campus design for all athletics to be moved to the west campus. During his 42 years as director of athletics, teams won 60 conference championships in seven different men’s sports. Hughes died just 26 days after his retirement in 1953. In 1968, CSU named Hughes

The fine art and craft of metalsmithing Metalsmithing is the art and craft of working with metal, employing a variety of techniques and tools that shape, form and texture the metal to create works of art. Black Forest resident, Kathleen Krucoff, is an accomplished craftsman in this medium and explains her process. “My primary focus is art jewelry. I like to think of it as creating wearable art forms. Just like nature, no two of my pieces are exactly alike. Have you ever found two identical snowflakes or leaves? Nature is my muse, my guiding spirit and inspiration.” “It all starts with an idea that acts as fuel to feed ones’ creative juices. Metalsmithing is just another form building something. You take a pattern, cut out all the pieces, put them together in the right order and, viola, you have the completed work!” “I create a pattern from my design that I glue to the metal. Now the magic begins!. I am at my jeweler’s bench and I place the metal on the bench pin’s flat surface. With my jeweler’s saw I begin to work. Anytime I am working with my hands is a perfect zen moment.” “Once the shape is cut out, I begin some of the hand finishing, sanding the metal’s surface to eliminate any scratches. Metal files give a smooth finish to the edges. Even at this stage, it is important to pay attention to detail, because that leads to the final result.” “One of the things that makes my treescapes series unique, is the tree shape, created by a technique known as piercing. I draw a tree design onto the metal. Using a very small drill, a pilot hole is created that allows the saw blade to pass through the metal, just like threading a needle. As I saw, I follow the tree lines I have drawn. Next I add a number of textures, using anything from nails to pins to hammers, creating the ‘leaves.’” “How does everything get put together? It happens by playing with fire. OK, it’s not actually playing, but it is a fascinating process called soldering. The metal components, back plate and bezel (to hold a stone in place) are

soldered into place. Using an acetylene torch, and working on a fireproof surface, heat is applied until the solder reaches its melting point. In liquid form, the solder flows, following the heat of the flame to create the solder joint. When it cools, the bond is permanent. Soldering is very safe as long as you respect the flame and use proper safety precautions.” “Cleaning and finishing takes place throughout the course of the fabrication. Everything from the initial sanding and filing, to immersing the metal in a mild acid solution called pickle, to the final polishing that can be done by hand or machine is important.” Intrigued?

Another mountain road In early July, 1924 plans for a spectacular mountain road was announced by Spencer Penrose. The road would climb Cheyenne Mountain. A toll road to the new facility that would be built would require considerable planning. The first bids to come in were rejected as too expensive. Negotiations worked down the cost, and finally a contractor was selected. At the top a stone building included a cafe, lounge and dance floor with a grand stage. Large windows would give the viewer a look from far to the plains up to Pikes Peak and on down toward the Spanish Peaks. The spot, some 9,400 feet above sea level was 3,200 feet higher than Broadmoor below. The original plan was for a road starting at the old Stage Road, but this was changed in the compromise to a road up the east face of the mountain. The top of this part of the mountain features the “horns” two large rock formations, which feature in the legend of the mountain being a giant lizard. Col. L.T. Ginger conceived the road idea in 1890, and purchased some of the land. The road idea surfaced several times, as did a plan for a cable railway up from Broadmoor, but it took Spencer Penrose to get it going. Construction started in mid September, 1924. The road opened in the summer of 1925. The idea of building the shrine to the sun came along during the road’s construc-

Stadium in his honor. He served on the NCAA National Rules Committee from 1926 to 1953. Hughes is a member of the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame, Colorado State University Sports Hall of Fame and Helms Amateur Athletic Hall of Fame. Hughes was an advocate of the amateur game and promoted fair play. He served as a member of the Board of Directors of the American Football Coaches Association in the 1920s and was a charter member of the organization. He promoted athletics in Colorado by conducting a coaches’ clinic beginning in 1920. Former CSU president Charles A. Lory said of Hughes at a November 1952 ban-

tion. The building of the zoo was also added to the plans as work continued. The pavilion at the top was expanded to include hotel rooms. A zoo display and one of the retired cog locomotives from Pikes Peak was put in place a couple years later. It was said that the spot was used for parties during Prohibition, since it was virtually impossible to sneak up to the spot. The hotel was closed in the early 1960s, and the flooding in 1965 heavily damaged the road. It was being used for transmission towers for local radio and television stations, and a new circuitous road was built up the west side of the mountain. Eventually all the remnants of the buildings were removed, and the towers moved south to the actual summit of the mountain. The Broadmoor has plans for an exclusive set of rooms on the old site, with special vehicles to transport the guests up the mountain, but I hear it will not be open to the public.

be dramatically different with the style of music and the presentation of everything. There’s something for everyone.” The concerts series is one of several events sponsored by the Historic Monument Merchants Association. In its 13th year, the concerts draw in a crowd of nearly 600. A significant growth from the first concert where there was 60 in attendance. The first concert was the idea of Woody Woodworth, owner of Catriona Cellars. Woodworth and a friend wanted to take live music to the street so he and a friend brought a guitar and fiddle out on Washington Street and began to play. Their music attracted a crowd who enjoyed the music so much they were dancing in the street. The following year the concert was moved to Limbach Park and continued to get bigger each year. The concert series even won the Governor’s Award. Hammerstadt said the concerts are really a community event. He said people can come from work and bring their families

without having to drive all the way to Denver to listen to some good music. “It’s a great series and it’s really built up over the years. The intention is to keep it going,” Hammerstadt added. People can bring their blankets and chairs and purchase dinner or snacks from food vendors that will be at the park. Concerts in the Park will begin at 7 p.m. “It’s one of my favorite events in the region,” Hammerstadt said.

Beving hired as District 38 director Educator spent 12 years as principal of Legacy Point in Parker By Danny Summers dsummers @coloradocommunitymedia.com Lewis-Palmer School District 38 Board vice president Mark Pfoff formally introduced Sheila Beving, the new director of curriculum/instruction and professional development, to those in attendance at the June 19 Board of Education meeting. Beving, 52, was hired by the District in

May from a pool of five candidates, according to new District superintendent Karen Brofft. Beving officially begins her new position on Aug. 1. She is on a oneyear contract. “We are very happy to have her on board,” Brofft said of Beving. “She brings a lot of experience and she will help take us to the next level.” Beving has already begun working in the District on a per diem basis. “I’ve already been working with people in the District and getting to know the lay of the land,” Beving said. Beving fills a position that has essentially been vacant for six years. During that time, the role has been filled by a bevy of people within the District.

“I’m extremely excited and privileged to join a District as accomplished as Lewis-Palmer is and has been,” Beving said. Beving has a long list of credentials that make her more than qualified to fill the position. She was most recently the principal at Legacy Point Elementary School in Parker for 12 years. In fact, she opened the school and was instrumental in hiring the staff helping to train teachers a full year before the Douglas County school opened. She’s taught or been an administrator in kindergarten through 12th grade for 26 years, working in the classroom, as a specialty teacher, instructional coach, assistant principal and principal. Beving will keep her office in “Big

Red” - the administration building - but she plans on being out of the office and working with teachers and staff as much as possible. “I want to look for areas where we can improve and focus on those areas where we have been successful,” Beving said. “My role will be to work with everyone in the District K through 12.” Beving is well aware that District 38 students annually produce many of the top test scores in the state. She is also aware that 87 percent of its high school graduates attend some sort of college. “I want to continue to enhance that journey that (the District) is already on,” she said.

About 1,200 new cadets are on campus By Danny Summers

dsummers @coloradocommunitymedia.com The next class of Air Force Academy cadets arrived June 26 to begin their Basic Cadet Training. The Air Force Academy received 9,082 applications for the 1,200 slots in the Class of 2018. The Class of 2018 also includes 14 international cadets hailing from Bulgaria, Gabon, Kazakhstan (2), Malaysia, Moldova (2), Pakistan, Romania, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, and the United Arab Emirates. While they are in basic training, the members of the class of 2018 will be known as basic cadet trainees. The basics reported to the Academy between 7 a.m. and noon, depending on which Basic Cadet Training squadron they were assigned to. Basic cadet training runs June 26 through Aug. 2, and includes physical conditioning, marching drills, numerous inspections, weapons training, the Uniform Code of Military Justice, first aid, Honor and ethics lessons, and an introduction to the Air Force’s core values of: Integ-

The members of the Class of 2018 will not earn their first military rank until well after basic cadet training is over on Aug. 5 at the Acceptance Parade, after they swear to the Honor Oath pledging “We will not lie, steal, or cheat, nor tolerate among us anyone who does.” Then it’s off to classes, as the Air Force Academy’s fall semester begins on Aug. 13. The arrival of the Class of 2018, along with the arrival of cadet-candidates at the Academy’s Prep School on July 16, will add more than $1.5 million to the local economy, according to John Van Winkle of the Academy’s Public Affairs Department. When all the figures are added up, the estimated 4,760 visiting family members, relatives and friends of cadets and cadet-candidates will generate approximately $1,428,000 in direct revenue in the Pikes Peak Region, and an additional $108,956 in city, county, state and Pikes Peak Rural Transportation Authority sales taxes,” Van Winkle added.

Cadets create MRAP Lift; win competition “They wanted something that would scale up quickly and get ready for distribution. Special operations needed this, to get people out of the MRAPs quickly, and they came to AFRL for the solution.” A telescoping hydraulic jack bested the other service academies. “The hydraulic jacks met quite a few of the requirements,” Knauf said. “They created nine telescoping sections, interconnecting and interlocking that were powered by a six horsepower remotecontrolled airplane motor and a hydraulic pump that used vegetable oil as the working fluid.” The project, one of 200 considered by the team, lifted the tail-end of a 46,000 pound bulldozer during the competition. Not only did the project win the AFRL competition, it also came in third of a dozen teams in a similar National Security Innovation earlier this week that included many other universities. Cadets got to split $2,500 in that competition, sponsored by the National Homeland Defense Foundation. “Ours was the best,” Knauf said. “The Navy came up with a piston that would raise it two inches, shore it, and then they would reiterate that quite a bit. It took

Staff report In the summer of 2013, the Air Force Research Laboratory had a problem no contractor seemed to solve. The lab took the task to the three service academies and challenged them to solve it. The problem: Special Operations teams needed a way to move heavy trucks like Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles — MRAPs — when landmines or improvised explosive devices hit them in combat zones. Academy cadets, led by faculty members in the Engineering Mechanics Department, came up with the best solution and won another service academy competition in May for the third consecutive year in a row in the process. The project: come up with a small, lightweight solution to lift up to 50,000 pounds. “That’s a whole lot of weight,” said Capt. Michael Knauf, one instructor leading the nine-member cadet team. “It’s the equivalent of 27 Volkswagen Beetles.” The capstone project was an attempt to solve a real-world problem, he said.

Dancers enter the arena in full regalia during last year’s Native American Intertribal Festival and Traditional Powwow. The powwow is July 19 and will once again take place at the Freedom Financial Services EXPO Center and is sponsored by the Palmer Lake Historical Society. Photos by Lisa Collacott

Powwow shares Native American culture Palmer Lake Historical Society sponsors intertribal festival By Lisa Collacott Native Americans will gather together to educate non-natives about their culture during the fifth annual Native American Intertribal Festival and Traditional Powwow. The festival, which will take place at the Freedom Financial Services EXPO Center in Colorado Springs, is sponsored by the Palmer Lake Historical Society and One Nation Walking Together. Palmer Lake was host to the all-day festival until last year when it was moved to the expo center to attract more people and escape the heat and afternoon thunderstorms. More than 2,000 people attended last year. The powwow is a chance for Native Americans to come together and give non-natives exposure to native drums, dance, food and art. Vendors will be selling art, jewelry, Navajo tacos and fry bread. There will be a live wolf exhibit and for the first time a birds of prey exhibit. There will also be children’s activities. Powwows originated on the east coast in the 1700s. It’s a social event but does have some ceremonial aspects to it according to Sebrina Forrest, a tribal elder for the Mohawk tribe. “There was a spiritual elder who decided that it would be nice to invite other Indian villages and their non-Indian neighbors to share food and to share dances and music and friendly competition,” Forrest said. Forrest said powwows are opportunities for the Native American community to meet up with old friends and make new ones. It is also an opportunity to pass their culture down to a younger generation so that they may learn about their heritage. “In this area we’re all urban Indians. We don’t have reservations that we are belonging to right here so we have to be sure that the kids don’t lose a sense of who we are,” Forrest said. Forrest explained one of the main things about powwows that is often not understood and that is the circle that is in the center of the audience where the Native Americans dance. She said many people think it’s a stage but it’s not. “That circle is not a dance stage. It

It’s been blessed and dedicated to the dancers and to their ancestors and their future generations,” Forrest said. “It’s a sacred place that only the Indian dancers are allowed to be.” She said that out of respect people shouldn’t step into the circle or touch the dancers clothing because many articles of the clothing are items that have been passed down generations. Forrest said they do however hope that people will ask questions. “We encourage questions because that’s the only way we’re going to have cultural understanding,” Forrest said. “We’re friendly. We’re not stoic. We’re not unapproachable. We want people to learn.”

Forrest said if it wasn’t for the generosity of the PLHS and One Nation Walking Together, this powwow wouldn’t happen. One Nation Walking Together is a nonprofit and has a mission to educate the public on the plight of the Native Americans and the culture. “Part of our education program is the powwow. It showcases the culture in a very positive way and keeps the culture alive,” Urban Turzi, executive director of One Nation Walking Together, said. The nonprofit’s goal is to make a positive difference in the lives of Native Americans. Their primary focus is Native Americans living on reservations. They cover seven states. They also serve urban Indians in the state of Colorado living in metropolitan areas.

“We serve the poorest of the poor,” Turzi said. Turzi said they take donations of food, clothing, appliances, medical supplies, tools, hygiene products, housewares and Christmas gifts to the Native Americans The Native American Intertribal Festival and Traditional Powwow will take place on July 19 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Freedom Financial Services EXPO Center located at 3650 North Nevada Avenue. Admission is $2. Children 12 and under and Native Americans in full regalia are admitted free. Grand entry is at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. Attendees are encouraged to bring their chairs as seating is limited. Donations of non-perishable food items will be accepted. Drums are by invitation only.

Beauprez grabs GOP nod in governor’s race Former Congressman also emerged from primary in 2006 By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Former Congressman Bob Beauprez emerged from a crowded field of Republican hopefuls to capture the GOP nomination for governor on June 24. The native Coloradan hopes to erase memories of an unsuccessful 2006 bid for the governor’s mansion by defeating Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper in the fall. Speaking to an enthusiastic group of supporters at the downtown Denver Athletic Club, Beauprez invoked themes of freedom and liberty and a direction toward fewer government regulations. “There is a difference between living and just kind of getting along and living free,” Beauprez said during his victory speech. Beauprez defeated fellow candidates Tom Tancredo, also a former congressman, Secretary of State Scott Gessler and former state Senate Minority Leader Mike Kopp to capture the Republican nomination. Beauprez garnered just over 30 percent of the more than 380,000 votes that were cast. Tancredo finished second with 26.6 percent. Gessler took third with 23.2 percent of the tally. Kopp trailed the pack with 19.8 percent. Beauprez tried to set aside any doubts about party unity when he told supporters that he had spoken with the other three candidates, who had called to congratulate him on his win. Beauprez said the contest has always been “about who the real opponent in this race was. It’s John Hickenlooper.” “Ladies and gentlemen, we are a team,” he said to hoots and applause from his supporters. Beauprez took aim at Hickenlooper several times in his remarks to supporters. He called out the governor for signing laws that increase renewable energy mandates for rural electric cooperatives and for his support of gun legislation, such as universal background checks and bans on highcapacity ammunition magazines. And, what is expected to be a key campaign issue, Beauprez blasted Hickenloop-

Photo by Vic Vela er for granting a temporary reprieve last year for death row inmate Nathan Dunlap, who killed four people at an Aurora Chuck E. Cheese restaurant in 1996. “If he won’t lead, if he won’t enforce the laws in the state of Colorado, I will and Nathan Dunlap will see justice served,” Beauprez said. Republican voters answered the question of whether they would give Beauprez another chance, following his double-digit loss in a 2006 governor’s race against Bill Ritter. Beauprez made no reference to that defeat during his victory speech. But in a prior interview he likened himself to John Elway, who had also lost badly prior to

winning two Super Bowls. Beauprez and Tancredo were atop public polling leading up to the race. But a round of late campaign advertisements that questioned whether he was the right fit to win a general election may have hurt Tancredo. Some Republicans were concerned that Tancredo’s polarizing and well-known views on immigration could hurt the party with moderates and Latino voters in November. Neither Tancredo nor Kopp could be reached for comment prior to Colorado Community Media’s print deadline. Gessler said he was disappointed with the results, but said he was proud of his

“respectful” performance. “I thought we ran a great campaign overall,” he said. “Obviously, things didn’t turn out the way we wanted. It is what it is.” Hickenlooper congratulated Beauprez through an e-mailed press release in which the governor also touted the state’s recent uptick in economic numbers. “Over the past four years, we’ve seen Colorado go from 40th to fourth in job creation, and we’ve seen unemployment drop from 9 percent to 5.8 percent,” Hickenlooper said. “We’re committed to keeping the positive momentum going until Colorado is number one in the country for job creation.”

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Stepping away from an old and seemingly insoluble problem might be helpful. use the time to take a new look at the situation and perhaps work out a new method of dealing with it. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) You’re still in a favorable goalsetting mode. However, you might need to be a little more realistic about some of your aims. Best to reach for what is currently doable. The rest will follow. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) A setback is never easy to deal with. But it could be a boon in disguise. Recheck your proposal, and strengthen the weak spots. Seek advice from someone who has “been there and done that.” LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Coming up with a new way of handling a tedious job-regulated chore could lead to more than just a congratulatory memo once the word reaches the “right people.” Good luck. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to nov 21) What you might call determination someone else might regard as stubbornness. Look for ways to reach a compromise that won’t require a major shift of views on your part.

So continue to be skeptical about anything that can’t be backed up with provable facts. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Thrift is still dominant this week.

dsummers @coloradocommunitymedia.com Nora and Rick LaMar usually have a front-row seat at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. That’s because for the last six years they’ve made the trophies that are given out to the top finishers. The Monument couple owns Glassical Designs, Inc., located near Centennial Blvd. and 30th Street in northwest Colorado Springs. “We were already working with the (Colorado Springs Sports Corporation) and they put us in touch with a lot of the people that they work with,” said Nora, who has been owner and president of the company since she started the business in 1984. “We got in touch with the Hill Climb people and began designing a different award every year.” That is until this year when they repeated the special design that includes

The LaMars moved to the Jackson Creek area of Monument about eight years ago when they relocated from southern California. They decided to lease their business space in Colorado

Springs because it was more centrally located. Their youngest daughter, Jessie, graduated from Lewis-Palmer High School in 2011. “It just made more sense at the time,” Nora said. “I get on the freeway and I’m at the office in 20 minutes.

It is one of almost 1,500 they have. They started with 10 corporate contracts in 1984 and were at 500 by 1999. They have tripled that in the last 15 years. Among Glassical Designs’ longestlasting corporate customers are Mitsubishi Motors. Coldwell Banker’s, In-N-Out Burger, University of Phoenix, Discount Tires and Mercedes Benz. The LaMars have 10 full-time employees and mail out several hundred pieces each week. “The majority of our business is not local,” Nora said. “It is around the county.

Judge upholds state’s gun laws

Constitutionality, not wisdom, n. of statutes weighed by court Hill

while

portsBy Vic Vela

A federal judge on June 26 rejected a court challenge to gun yearrestrictions that took effect last year, ruling that the new statHillutes do not infringe on a person’s Second Amendment right to bear firearms, as was alleged by the plaintiffs in the case. mile The lawsuit was filed by several county sheriffs in Colorado, 9,390along with other citizens and businesses. sum- The judge’s decision means that the controversial 2012 laws that created universal background checks on gun sales and transfers and banned high-capacity ammunition magazines d thewill remain on the books. and

The ruling was a victory for gun-control advocates who believe that the laws help to prevent the kind of mass bloodshed that occurred during the 2012 Aurora theater shooting, which prompted the legislation. “Today is an important day in the fight to keep our communities and families safe from gun violence,” Rita Schweitz of the Colorado Coalition Against Gun Violence said through an emailed statement. But plaintiffs told reporters following the court ruling that they plan to appeal the judge’s decision. “We believe (the judge) got it wrong as a matter of law,” said attorney Dave Kopel. “We think we have a very strong case in the Court of Appeals.” The state of Colorado and Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper — who signed the bills into law — were named as defendants in the lawsuit. Chief U.S. District Court Judge Marcia S. Krieger ruled that the law that bans ammunition magazines that carry more than

15 rounds “is not severe” in how it impacts a person’s ability to keep or bear firearms for self-defense purposes. “... this statute does not prevent the people of Colorado from possessing semiautomatic weapons for self-defense, or from using those weapons as they are designed to function,” Krieger wrote in a 50-page opinion. “The only limitation imposed is how frequently they must reload their weapons.” Supporters of the magazine ban law argue that the statute limits the would-be shooters’ abilities to get their hands on high-capacity magazines. They also argue that limiting the amount of rounds a person can fire allows time for victims to fight back or for law enforcement to intervene while the shooter reloads. The plaintiffs argued that skilled shooters know how to reload quickly anyway, which mitigates the benefit of a “critical pause” during magazine reloading. However, Krieger rejected that argument, saying that, “a pause, of any duration, imposed on the offensive shooter can

Campus measure could have bebecome `political football’

portant to let it become a political football,” he said. Dudley Brown, who heads Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, said petition backers were wise to halt the signature-gathering because another gun restriction effort would have “kicked the hornets’ nest.”

“I think they got phone calls from Democrats saying, `This is not a good thing for our candidates for office because this will motivate gun owners in droves,’” Brown said. “Democratic operatives know that this is a dangerous thing for them to do, to tinker with this.”

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com An effort to ban the carrying of concealed handguns on college campuses ended June 26 out of supporters’ concerns that the issue could be used as a “political football” to impact the November election. For months, backers of the campus gun ban had been collecting signatures in hopes of putting the issue to voters on this fall’s ballot. But supporters saw a political reality that caused them to pull the plug on their effort. “In the last few weeks it became very evident that last year’s gun violence prevention legislation was going to be a major campaign issue in many candidate campaigns,” Boulder resident Ken Toltz, the founder of Safe Campus Colorado, said in an email to Colorado Community Media. Toltz was referring to legislation that became law in 2013, including bans on high-capacity ammunition magazines and the creation of universal background checks on all gun sales and transfers. The bills stirred passionate reaction from both gun enthusiasts and gun-control advocates. The legislation passed the Democratic-majority legislature without Republican support. Another bill that would have banned concealed weapons from being carried on college campuses was killed by a Senate sponsor prior to it receiving a vote in that chamber. It is already illegal to carry concealed guns on K-12 campuses. Toltz said the decision to stop the signature-gathering effort was not related to any lack of public support for the campus gun ban. “The signature-gathering was very successful on a statewide basis, as the average voter agreed that concealed guns on college campuses is a bad idea,” he said. Last year’s gun legislation led to recall elections that ended up costing Democrats three seats in the state Senate — two Democrats lost in those recalls, while another resigned in the face of a recall. Toltz did not directly respond when asked if he received any pressure from Democrats or other interested parties to stop the effort. But he did acknowledge the politics of gun control. “Being nonpartisan, we decided that our issue was too im-
