Historical society sponsors traditional powwow Fourth annual inter-tribal festival also sponsored by One Nation Walking Together By Lisa Collacott
lcollacott@ourcoloradonews.com Different Native American tribes will come together for a traditional powwow during a one day Native American InterTribal Festival. The fourth annual festival and powwow, sponsored by the Palmer Lake Historical Society and One Nation Walking Together, will take place on July 20 at the Freedom Financial Services EXPO Center. The festival has taken place at Palmer Lake in years past. “We would have liked to have kept it in Palmer Lake but with the weather and heat we thought we should have it indoors,” Al Walter, president of the PLHS, said. The festival and powwow will feature a Native American teaching lodge to educate non-Natives, a live wolf exhibit, two host drums which are by invitation only, dancers in full regalia, kids craft area and Native American artists and craftsman. There will also be food vendors selling Navajo tacos and fry bread. “We want an event where Native Americans can come together and greet each other,” Walter said. Native Americans from all tribes come from all over to take part in the powwow. Walter said every year the powwow gets bigger and it might become a two-day event in the future.

Mulch pile continues to grow at Black Forest facility Area residents taking advantage of Slashmulch program By Danny Summers
Dsummers@ourcoloradonews. com Few people like the sight, smell and crunch of mulch as much Ruth Ann Steel. But even she has had her fill of watching the decaying material pile up in front of her this summer. Steel oversees the Black Forest Slash-Mulch Program, a wildfire and mitigation recycling program co-sponsored by the El Paso County Environmental Division, Colorado Forestry Association and Black Forest Fire Department. For 20 years she has coordinated efforts at the one-and-a-half acre facility, located along Herring Road. But never before has she seen so much slashing and mulching taking place in such a short period of time. “We are almost overwhelmed,”
The Black Forest Slash-Mulch facility on Herring Road is overflowing these days. Mulch piles are growing as a result of the recent Black Forest Fire that charred many trees. Photo by Photos courtesy of Black Forest Slash-Mulch Steel said. “I have never seen such a big mulch pile. But it’s a good problem to have.” Things are piling up due to the effect from last month’s massive Black Forest Fire that destroyed more than 500 homes and burned more than 14,000 acres. Home-
POSTAL ADDRESS
owners and land owners in the area are taking what’s left of their charred trees and heading to Steel’s facility to have the material slashed into mulch. Steel was concerned that the charred wood might be hazardous to the environment, so she
sent some samples a laboratory at Colorado State University in Fort Collins for testing. She should know the results this week. “There’s no difference in color between ordinary mulch and charred mulch once it goes through the machine,” Steel said. “The fire went through so fast it left only a very thin coating of char. “Carbon is good for plants, so my guess is that this is probably okay for use and for the environment. I think it will be beneficial. I’ve been testing it myself in my outdoor greenhouse and my plants and things are flourishing.” The slash-mulch facility is open to El Paso and Teller County residents. But Steel said folks can come from any county and they won’t be turned away. “We don’t check license plates,” she said. The facility is open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5 to 7:30 p.m., Saturdays from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sundays from noon to 4 p.m. About 20 volunteers help run and maintain the facility.
“Two Saturdays ago we had a line of 20 loads that swung down north on Herring and curled around on Shoup,” Steel said. “We took in 1,000 pickup loads that day.” El Paso County workers have been trucking loads of mulch to Flying W Ranch to help in the mitigation and restoration from damage caused by the Waldo Canyon Fire of 2012. That fire destroyed 347 homes in the Mountain Shadows area and burned more than 18,000 acres. “They’re trying to help with the erosion caused by the Waldo Canyon Fire,” Steel said. More recently, Steel has been in contact with the Colorado Springs office of the Natural Resource Conservation Service. The NRCS has expressed interest in using mulch from Steel’s facility to help with the Waldo Canyon Fire rehabilitation assistance program. Two major floods have occurred this month near Highway 24 as a result of heavy rain run-off from the Waldo Canyon burn scar.

El Pomar funding aids area fire agencies W New equipment purchased in June through generous grants

In direct response to the Hayman Fire in 2002, the El Pomar Foundation reached out to fire fighting agencies throughout the state and asked what they could do to help. Over the years, the philanthropic organization has given out millions to agencies. Among the latest benefactors are the Tri-Lakes Monument Fire Protection District, Palmer Lake Volunteer Fire Department and Black Forest Fire and Rescue Protection District. “There was a realization that the firefighters on the front line and the fire agencies needed support,” said Lori Bellingham, El Pomar’s communications director. “We wanted to help with whatever they needed to fight those fires.” Tri-Lakes Monument got a $10,000 grant in late June so that it could purchase and add a Polaris Utility Terrain Vehicle (UTV) to its fleet of fire and emergency vehicles. The UTV allows firefighters and emergency personnel to rapidly reach their destination in rough terrain. John Vincent purchased the vehicle from the Polaris dealer in Woodland Park. “It’s going to give us four-season capability to support crews in the field,” said John Dincent, who doubles as the Tri Lakes Monument fire marshal and Palmer Lake fire chief. “Palmer Lake already has two of these. You put three of them together and it expands the capability of our performance.” The needs of local fire agencies have increased in recent years to the increase in wildfires in the area. Vincent praised El Pomar for its willingness to reach out to agencies. “It’s not a matter of what we wanted; it’s what we needed,” Vincent said. “We needed this (UTV) for a few years. “This is all part of the long-term planning. This is not about new shiny toys. It’s about what each department needs.” Palmer Lake received $6,000 for VHF radios with digital capability. Vincent was able to purchase seven Relm King Radios.

s Watering days differ for Donala, Colorado Springs Both are assigned to twice a week irrigating, some confusion created By Lisa Collacott lcollacott@ourcoloradonews.com Customers of Donala Water and Sanitation District have assigned watering days, but they are not the same as Colorado
Springs Utilities. There has been some confusion about what days to water. And, in a letter to Donala customers, general manager Kip Petersen said CSU has aired television spots reminding customers of their watering days. It has created some confusion since Donala’s watering days are different from CSU. “We are not Colorado Springs,” Petersen said. Donala is currently following phase 3 irrigation standards, which allow outdoor
Donala customers are complying with watering restrictions Minimal first warning, second violation notices sent out By Lisa Collacott
lcollacott@ourcoloradonews.com
For the most part, Donala Water and Sanitation District customers are complying with irrigation standards. In the June newsletter sent out to customers, a conservation update on how district customers are complying with irrigation standards was included . The water district is currently at phase 3, which allows customers to water two days a week on assigned days. “We’re getting very good compliance,” Kip Petersen, general manager of Donala, said. During the month of May, Donala sent hat’sout 76 first warning letters, and only one whatsecond violation notice. There were 12 residential properties that used more than tate-30,000 gallons, and only four that used more than 40,000 gallons.
“We have not sent more than five second violation notices out this summer,” Petersen said. On average one household typically will use 162,925 gallons in a year and that includes irrigation. At the beginning of May the district was producing 550,000 gallons a day. But by May 15, production had increased to 1,100,000 gallons. By mid-June, the district was producing 2,175,000 gallons. Petersen said customers have really been following their irrigation schedule. He said every once-in-a-while, someone will call to report that their neighbor is watering their lawn on a day they’re not scheduled. But he said they can’t legally do anything about it. Donala employees have to see it. During the Black Forest Fire, Donala went to a phase 4 for a couple of days, which means no outdoor watering until further notice. Petersen said the district saw a tremendous drop in flows during the fire. But most likely, that was due to people evacuating. “We really appreciate customer’s cooperation this summer,” Petersen said.
El PaSo County arrEStS The following list of arrests is provided by area law enforcement agencies. An arrest is not an indication of guilt or innocence and there might be several people with the same name living in the county.

watering two days a week. Because Donala is contracted with CSU for water transfer, they are required by contract, to follow the same standards. Donala residential customers who have odd number addresses can water on Monday and Friday. Those with even number addresses, and addresses ending in zero, can water on Tuesday and Saturday. Commercial customers have separate assigned watering days not based on addresses. On assigned days customers can
water from midnight to 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. to midnight. For the previous seven years, Donala customers were allowed to water three days a week. The assigned watering days are the same as previous years, but the third day has been eliminated from the schedule. “We’ve gone in and deleted that middle day,” Petersen said. For questions concerning the watering schedule visit www.donala.org or call 719488-3603.

Covered Treasures celebrates 20 years Special to The Tribune
Leona Lacroix, left, and Tommie Plank opened up Covered Treasures bookstore 20 years ago this month. There will be a celebration with an author signing and a birthday cake during Art Hop from 5:00-8:00 p.m. on July 18. Photo by Lisa Collacott would have high visibility with vendors located on Second Street in front of the store. They purchased a coffee cart and offered the first lattes, Cappuccinos and other specialty coffees in the Tri-Lakes area. That was one of many decisions based on customer input and needs of the community.
Originally open six days a week the store expanded to seven days to accommodate customers who could not buy the New York Times in the area. Over the years several other outlets made the Times and specialty coffees available so the store moved back to six days a week and cut coffee back to regular and de-
caf. Covered Treasures soon became more than just a bookstore. People called and stopped by to ask directions, how to spell a word, what hours other businesses were open or to get details about a community event. It became a meeting place for customers and a place where

Tommie Plank and Leona Lacroix first opened Covered Treasures Bookstore in Monument 20 years ago this month. Plank and Lacroix decided the Tri-Lakes area needed a bookstore and embarked on a crash course in operating a small business. From January to July of 1993 they took courses, read, asked questions, found a distributor, filed articles of incorporation, ordered bookcases and initial inventory, joined the American Booksellers’ Association and found the perfect location. After they considered putting the bookstore in a strip mall, space opened up in the historic Chapala Building in downtown Monument. Choosing a name for the store proved to be a challenge. The name Covered Treasures evolved from The Book Treasury, a name they liked but considered too stiff and too much like the name of a financial institution. In the end, it didn’t really matter what they chose, as most people soon called it The Bookstore. They also invested in a computer system at a time when many independent bookstores relied on a cash register and a file card inventory system. Plank and Lacroix decided they needed to have access to every book in print in order to be taken seriously as a bookstore. The gamble paid off when one customer, upon learning that they could order any available book said, “I didn’t know this was a REAL bookstore.” Opening day coincided with Monument’s Street Fair on July 17, 1993 when the new business
packages or books were dropped off to be picked up by another business or a friend. As a founding member of the Historic Monument Merchant’s Association the store publicizes and supports many community events and sells tickets to the Empty Bowl Dinner. Three book clubs and a writing group also meet at Covered Treasures with staff support. In addition to carrying new and used books, a greeting card section offers handmade gems from local artists in addition to a variety of seasonal and special day cards. Many local hiking books and maps and area histories are unique to the store. There are many book signings ranging from first time to self-published local authors to nationally known bestselling authors such as Sandra Dallas, Kent Haruf and others. Leona Lacroix retired in 1998 for family reasons but for fifteen years Tommie Plank has continued the store’s commitment to specialized customer service with the able assistance of long-time employee Paula Primavera. July will be a month of reminiscing at Covered Treasures; recalling funny and poignant events and the many loyal customers and friends who have helped the store make it to this milestone anniversary. To celebrate 20 years in business, the store is offering a month of 20 percent discounts on merchandise. A celebration will coincide with Monument’s Art Hop from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. on July 18. Birthday cake and punch will be served and the highlight of the evening will be national best-selling Boulder author Peter Heller will sign his book “The Dog Stars.”

Governor gets behind tax-hike proposal Ballot question would fund school finance overhaul By Vic Vela
vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Gov. John Hickenlooper acknowledged on July 10 that the tax hike being proposed to fund a new school finance formula is not his “exact preference,” but it is one that he thinks is “winnable” and will support. The governor’s comments, which followed an unrelated Capitol press conference, mark the first time Hickenlooper has told reporters he supports the specific tax initiative tied to a school funding overhaul that advocates have recently decided to pursue. The two-tiered tax hike — which will have a greater impact on higher wage earners — would fund Senate Bill 213, the “Future School Finance Act,” so long as voters approve a ballot initiative that will create about $950 million in new taxes. “I’m not sure it was my exact preference,” said Hickenlooper, referring to the tax proposal that was chosen by education groups last month. “But the bottom line is, you gotta have something on (the ballot) that’s winnable.” The Democratic governor added that “it’s just not worth all the trouble and work if you’re going to go to the ballot and lose.” “So, within … that array of ballot language that conceivably can win, I think this
is the best.” Hickenlooper has been pressed to confirm his support for the tax hike since he signed Senate Bill 213 into law in May. He told reporters after the signing that he had his preferences on what the tax would look like, but he would not share them. The governor did say at the time that he “certainly” would campaign for the ballot effort, whatever it ended up looking like. Hickenlooper said on July 10 that he’s spent the last month having conversations with business leaders about the tax initiative “It’s a complex issue, and in the majority of the cases, once we get the facts out there, they’re pretty supportive,” the governor said. If funded, the new school finance act would create full-day kindergarten, provide preschool for at-risk children, and would put more money into needs-based programs for special education students and children who are learning English. The act also aims to increase per-pupil funding for school districts across the state in a more equitable fashion than the current system allows. Initiative 22 will ask Colorado voters in November to approve an increase in the state income tax, which is now 4.63 percent for all Coloradans. Under Initiative 22, residents who make up to $75,000 a year would see their rate rise to 5 percent. Income above that level would be taxed at 5.9 percent. Ballot organizers have until Aug. 5 to collect 86,105 valid signatures for the initiative to be placed on the ballot.
Pikes Peak Mile coming August 13 Event will kick off Ascent and Marathon week By Danny Summers
Dsummers@ourcoloradonews.com If the Pikes Peak Ascent and Marathon weren’t already glitzy enough to attract hard-core runners from around the world, now there is the new Pikes Peak High-Altitude Mile. The event takes place Tuesday, Aug. 13 four days before the Ascent and Marathon. “We think the Pikes Peak High-Altitude Mile will be the highest competitive mile race ever contested in the United States, and possibly the world,” said Pikes Peak Marathon, Inc. President Ron Ilgen. “And we intend to fill this race with the best runners we can find.” Event organizers are inviting track and cross-country athletes, as well as middledistance roadies and mountain runners. Ideally, the men’s and women’s fields will include 15 to 20 each. Runners who would like to participate are encouraged to apply by contacting Nancy Hobbs at nanohobbs@ gmail.com, or (719) 573-4133. The final participants will be announced on Aug. 1.
Ilgen said that automatic entries will be awarded to winners of certain high-profile races in the state. The prize money will also be a reason for the crème de la crème to enter the race. The Pikes Peak High-Altitude Mile Champions will earn $1,000. Second place pays $500; third, $250; and the fourth-place runners will win $100. The winners will also receive one-of-a-kind jackets commemorating their accomplishment. At the peak’s 14,110-foot summit, the air contains 43 percent less oxygen than at sea level, according to Ilgen. And while mountain runners in the famous Pikes Peak Marathon and Pikes Peak Ascent are familiar with the challenge, their sleek and fast middle-distance brethren of the flatlands have typically avoided such places. “The curiosity aspect makes this very interesting,” Ilgen said. “Pikes Peak is well known for running, and this race adds another facet to that. We know what the mountain runners can do here. But in a mile race, we can include a different kind of runner in the mix. It’s going to be exciting. We’re going to scratch a starting line on top Mile continues on Page 7

County announces dental card program for residents Special to The Tribune Through its membership in the National Association of Counties, El Paso County launched the NACo Dental Discount Card Program on July 9 to help families save money on needed dental care, orthodontic treatment and other dental care services through a network of participating private practice dentists. The program, administered by Careington International Corporation and NACo, offers individuals and families affordable monthly and annual membership options to take advantage of dental care discounts throughout the year. El Paso County is eligible to offer this program to residents because of the county’s membership in the National Association of Counties. “We are excited to offer this affordable, money-saving dental discount card program to our residents,” said County Commissioner Sallie Clark “We know that poor dental health can harm our general health, especially in our young adults and children. In these tough times many cannot afford to visit the dentist for check-ups and routine services or for more advanced treatment they really need. But through this program, residents can get some welcome relief pay-
ing discounted rates for those important health services.” NACo President Chris Rodgers, Commissioner from Douglas County, NE, said, “Especially during these tough times, NACo is pleased to provide this dental discount program to our member counties. Since this program is not insurance anyone can join and there are no limits on use. There are also no age or income restrictions. This program is the latest of many valuable services that NACo provides to our member counties.” To participate in the program individuals pay $6.95 per month or $59 per year and families pay $8.95 per month or $69 per year and receive savings of 5 to 50 percent on dental procedures including routine oral exams, cleanings, dentures, crowns and more as well as savings of 20 percent on normal fees for all specialties, including endodontics, oral surgery, orthodontics, pediatric dentistry, periodontics and prosthodontics. For more information and to sign up for the NACo Dental Discount Card Program go to www.nacodentalprogram.com or call 877-354-6226 and mention marketing code “NACo” to take advantage of special rates.

Forgery, cattle theft, possible murder The threat of being drawn into to World War II was hanging heavy over the United States when Divide rancher Sumner Alfred Osborn went missing in October of 1941. The first indication that something was terribly wrong surfaced when Sumner Osborn’s mother, Mrs. A.H. Osborn, 215 South 11th Street, called El Paso County Sheriff Sam Deal’s office. Undersheriff Roy Glasier investigated and was told by Mrs. Osborn that on the night of Oct. 16, a man she did not know, came to her house and requested S.A. Osborn’s mail, saying that he had been instructed by Osborn to pick it up. There was no mail that day, so he returned the next, and she gave him a letter: She told Glasier that the letter had not been sealed properly and she looked in it, seeing a check made out to Sumner Osborn for $55.62, according to a 1962 account related by Carl F. Mathews. Mathews worked on unsolved crimes as superintendent of the Bureau of Identification in the Colorado Springs Police Department for years before he retired in 1952. “The man told her that he and Osborn had sold a load of posts to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo and the check was in payment, Glaiser investigated further and found the check had been made out for the sale of four horses to the zoo: the check was traces and endorsement was found to have been forged by one of the trio (George Marion Betts, John Cahill and Lester Cahill, brothers, all of Divide) and cashed at the Broadmoor Garage on Oct. 17,” Mathews related in his paper about unsolved crimes. Sheriff Deal was immediately in touch with Sheriff Cecil Markley at Cripple Creek and a trip was made to Osborn’s ranch. The last time that
Sumner Osborn was seen was Oct. 16, when he walked to neighbor’s ranch and asked if someone could take him to the highway as he wanted to go to Colorado Springs to report that four horses had been stolen. Unable to get ride, he continued on foot. “Betts in his confession admitted he went to Mrs. Osborn’s home and obtained the check after Lester Cahill brought him from Divide, said Johnny Cahill endorsed the check but that he and Lester stayed in the auto while Johnny went into into the garage to get the money.” The Cahills also, according to the confession, drove the herd of 14 Osborn cattle to the the Cahill ranch, loaded in a truck, and took them to the stockyards in Denver and sold them for $599.99. “Betts declared the check was made out to ‘Earl Osborn’ and the two Cahills went to a Denver bank and cashed it. He asked the Cahills where Osborn was and they said they didn’t know.” A heavy snow covered the region and made a search for Osborn difficult. By Nov. 2, Sheriff Markey had made the determination that foul play had occurred. A $100 reward was offered. By Nov. 4, Lester Cahill indicated that he wanted to plead guilty to the cattle rustling, and authorities had been questioning both the Cahills, but they insisted that did know what had happened
Letter to the editor bad Public Policy Dear Editor: Targeting a single industry for higher taxes is a bad idea. Oil and natural gas businesses have operated under that threat throughout the current administration, but now they may have some company. Senate Finance committee leaders have a plan to reform our tax code by first eliminating all tax breaks and then leaving it up to Congress to decide which incentives stay and which get scrapped. This sounds like public policy gone from bad to worse.

I agree that tax code reform is needed to grow our economy and reduce massive federal deficits. But we don’t need new plans and catchy tag lines that do nothing to fix problems. We don’t need to hamstring oil and gas companies and other businesses that create thousands of jobs, generate billions of dollars in tax revenue and make sizable investments in our economy. In short, we don’t need a clean slate, we need a fair deal. John Graczyk, Monument, CO

to Osborn. Lester admitted selling the cattle, but John denied any involvement. By Nov. 6, Sheriff Deal, acting on a hunch, surveyed an abandoned mine pit called the Little Annie. the 300-foot shaft had the reputation of being a ‘bad hole’ and full of water at the bottom and plagued by deadly gas fumes in the bottom. The tried to lower a miner down into the shaft in a bucket but abandoned that effort when more bad weather arrived. a second attempt later, using more equipment, including a portable winch. George Gotham went down to 110-foot level, but declared the effort useless with such a short cable. The next day, another experienced miner, Andy Kuhlman, was lowered to 250 feet, but said he found no gas, no water, and no body. “He reported he descended to a point where the old timbers had fallen from the top and closed the lower part. the next day, Frank Mayes, deputy game warden, his nephew Fred, Willis White, nephew of Osborn, and Andy Kuhlman explored and ice cave east of Midland some 60 feet deep, known to but a few residents. And also and old mining tunnel, 600 feet deep, but without results. They reported the area was full of abandoned workings, many of which had not been touched for years,” wrote Mathews in his unsolved crimes paper. By Nov. 15, the Cahill brothers were willing to plead guilty to the horse and cattle theft but when questioned repeatedly on the whereabouts of Osborn “they had nothing to say.” By the end of the month, they were charged, as was Betts, who was only involved in the horse theft. “On Dec. 5, Harry Sollo, a real estate agent and self-styled ‘student of psychic phenomena’ said had received a ‘message’ which ‘told him within a half-mile
W of where Osborn’s body was lying.’ He W said he would leave an envelope, sealed prod and not to be opened until Monday, Th giving the location so the accuracy of the message could be proved after the the P search,” according to Mathew’s account. it cam That following Sunday, a procession news Ea of about 70 cars that included Sollo and in th four sisters of Osborn, was taken to a spot five miles east of the Cahill ranch, gold but the ‘student of psychic phenomena’ for lu Carl claimed they were taken to the wrong spot. And while they were, the body was the f the 1 being removed. W According to a message left at the Gazette and Telegraph office later, “the later body was in a well five miles east of the City. Cahill place; Sollo also claimed that he derst O had received information giving the bring actual location, and that Osborn had Th been shot with a revolver and beaten to boug death.” oak a From that time on, after the dry Th psychic hole, the Osborn case was overshadowed by news of the war, and Mich in effect, moved to the back burners of pine In local investigation. At their cattle rustling trial in February, in M was u the state Brand Inspector Earl Brown, railro testified that one of men selling the Colo cattle, filled out paperwork that the Th car they were driving belonged to Alf Coulsen, a former Teller County Com- comi missioner, and that the driver was “Earl rado Osborn,” a brother of Sumner Osborn, reach who had been been dead for a year or start more at the times the crimes were com- Nort C mitted. The case went to jury, and the Cahills for lu were sentenced to terms of eight and 10 years. Betts, only involved in the horse theft, received probation. The Cahills served their terms at the Colorado State Penitentiary, and were later released. Sumner Alfred Osborn’s body was never found.
Volunteer in your local community The definition of a volunteer is “a person who voluntarily offers himself or herself for a service or undertaking” and a “person who performs a service willingly and without pay” according to www.dictionary.reference.com. Many organizations wouldn’t survive without the help of volunteers. Nonprofits, for example, have limited funds and cannot afford to pay for a full staff of people. We’ve all probably done some sort of volunteer work at one time or another, whether it is in our children’s schools, at church or for local nonprofits. Volunteers are important. Without them there would be no one to watch the children in the church nursery. Schools wouldn’t have extra money to put on events for students because there would be no one to organize the school fundraiser. And all the wonderful events in our community wouldn’t happen because there would be no one to help organize and run the events. I know from experience, that when volunteering for something, it’s always the same people year after year. That can cause burn out in those volunteers. If more people don’t step-up to offer their time, some of these wonderful programs and events will go away. I know everyone is busy with their jobs, school, kids and just life in general. But just think if everyone volunteered a couple hours a month, or just one event a year, we’d have it all covered and no one will get burned out. I used to tell that to parents when I was a PTA president. Some said they worked and didn’t have time to volunteer. “Help with just one school event, or fold fliers while you’re home watching television in the evening. Or call a few
B lo
businesses to solicit donations,” I said. It would have been a huge load off the rest of us four or five parents that ended up doing everything. I’m not suggesting anyone go out and volunteer for everything. But there are enough people in the community that if we all stepped up, the nonprofits and other organizations would be forever grateful. Make it a family volunteer activity. A kid seeing their parents volunteer sets a good example and instills in them a desire to give of themselves. Several organizations in the Tri-Lakes area could use help. Just off of the top of my head, I can think of Tri-Lakes Cares, Tri-Lakes Health Advocacy Partnership, Black Forest Animal Sanctuary and the Palmer Lake Historical Society, Awake the Lake Committee, Western Museum of Mining and Industry, schools and even town clean-up events. There are certain things that kids might not be able to do when volunteering. So be sure to check with the organization. And some places may require a guardian or an adult to be present, if youth are under a certain age. Volunteering benefits the community. It also teaches us to give freely of our time and talents.

Black Forest wood has long been popular
Wood? We do not often think that our major product might be wood. The first buildings in Denver were from f he the Pike’s Peak Region. Not only that, but unt. it came from an area that has been in the on news a lot lately, Black Forest. Early ranchers knew their fortune was and in the trees. Long before the discovery of a ch, gold near Denver, they were cutting trees ena’ for lumber in Black Forest. J.A. Weir and Carl Husted were the primary saw mills in g was the forest, both doing business starting in the 1860’s. We know Mr. Husted because in his he later years he chose to live in Colorado the City. That is his house on 30th, and we unhe derstand a lot of that wood used was local. Once the railroads were built they did bring in hardwoods from the east. d The timber dealers in Chicago not only n to bought pine and fir from us, they sold us oak and maple. The pine they sold us came mainly from nd Michigan and locally it was called Chicago of pine. In 1878 Dr. Bell starts his saw mill up ary, in Manitou Park. Much of that lumber was used by General Palmer’s Rio Grande n, railroad, but also for houses in Manitou, Colorado City and Colorado Springs. There was competition with lumber f m- coming from the forests in Southern ColoEarl rado and New Mexico one the railroads n, reached there. A hundred years ago we or started getting lumber from the Pacific om- Northwest, and still do. Cripple Creek caused a huge demand hills for lumber and mills west of Pike’s Peak d 10 se s tate .
He aled
prospered. The area west of Divide saw dozens of saw mills. This wood was really good for mine beams and railroad ties, but also boards too. Some of these mills lasted until about fifty years ago. Many of the old doors and windows used here were made from California White pine. Hickory, poplar and gum was from Tennessee. At one time box car loads of readymade doors and windows arrived every day, but there were problems. The woods and wood products like doors, brought into this area were quickly used. After a month or so they started to crack. Our dry climate was the problem. Letting the “foreign” wood dry out before it was used helped. Local door and window manufacturers had known that. Over the years lumber mills died out, but there are still a few around. Much of the damaged wood from the Hayman fire was cut for various uses. The demand for Waldo Canyon wood may not fare so well thanks to the difficulty of building access roads, but Black Forest wood has always been popular.
Bronc Day to be held Aug. 3. By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews.com The 75th annual Bronc Day festival in Green Mountain Falls begins at 7 a.m. Aug. 3 with a pancake breakfast at the fire station on Ute Pass Avenue. The main attraction, however, is the parade which begins at 10 a.m. This year’s Grand Marshals are John and Modenia Kramer. Modenia is a mainstay every year in the parade. Dressed in Victorian elegance, she is regal as she marches amid the horses, the bicycles and the antique cars. As some march in simulated drunken stupor, Modenia leads the temperance ladies who frown upon such public inebriation.

of the mountain and line up and see who is the fastest.” Ilgen developed the idea years ago as he ran laps on the summit in preparation for the Pikes Peak Ascent. “I always had this thought that we could have a race at the summit,” Ilgen said. “It keeps with the tradition of Pikes Peak going back to 1936 when they first ran a race up the mountain. Those runners were pioneers. Now here we are almost 80 years later with the opportunity to explore this new frontier. How hard can we push ourselves in challenging environments?” The racing will begin with the women’s heat at 9 a.m., followed by the men at about 9:30 a.m. Encircled by a ribbon of gravel road, the mostly flat and broad summit of Pikes Peak is roughly the size of four football

The parade features the Sister Nations Color Guard composed of Native American women army veterans representing various tribal nations. Also in the parade are the Al Kaly Pipe and Drum Corps, fire engines, floats, clown cowboys and gunfighters. After the parade, the festivities continue with a rubber-duckie race and a radio-controlled model boat race on Gazebo Lake. There will also be a 26-foot high air slide and Disney Bouncer. Entertainment includes Buck Goucher, renowned country and western artist, Indians performing tribal dances and the Rocky Mountain Gunfighters show.

fields. The course will be laid out by Scott Simmons, coach of the American Distance Project training group. The race will be chip timed with splits recorded. The Pikes Peak High-Altitude Mile kicks off the Pikes Peak Marathon and Ascent week, with the race expo beginning in Manitou Springs on Friday (Aug. 16) followed by the Pikes Peak Ascent on Saturday (Aug. 17) and the Marathon on Sunday. The Pikes Peak Marathon is the thirdoldest marathon in the United States. Top runners from around the world annually come to the region to compete in the race, which begins at about 6,300 feet elevation in downtown Manitou Springs. Runners wind their way to the top of 14,110-feet Pikes Peak and back to down to the finish line in Manitou Springs. Ascent competitors finish at the top of Pikes Peak. “There are very few marathons in the world that even come close to this,” Ilgen said. “It’s the only one I know where the elevation goes to 14,000 feet.”

Number of homes destroyed in Black Forest Fire revised Assessor’s count goes from 511 to 486 By Lisa Collacott
lcollacott@ourcoloradonews.com The El Paso County Assessor’s Office has revised the number of homes that were destroyed in the Black Forest Fire. It was originally reported that 511 homes were destroyed but in a new report released to the board of county commissioners that number has been revised to 486. That number includes 25 mobile homes. There were 30 detached garages destroyed and 37 homes were damaged. The total value of homes destroyed is
$85,444,052. The residential assessment is complete however the assessor’s office is still assessing out-buildings, commercial buildings and land and trees. They hope to have the assessment complete by July 19 or 20. County Assessor Mark Lowderman told commissioners in the report that five residential properties could not be assessed at the time of the initial assessment because of locked gates or debris. He said his assessors have appointments to assess those properties. The Black Forest Fire started on June 11 and within 24 hours the sheriff’s office had a list on their website of homes that had been destroyed or damaged. The list grew over the next several days.

Flash flooding shuts CLUBS IN YOUR COMMUNITY down Highway 24 EDITOR’S NOTE: To add or update your club listing, e-mail calendar@ourcoloradonews.com, attn: Tribune.
Special to The Tribune An afternoon thunderstorm on July 10 near Manitou Springs sent rocks, boulders, debris and mud down the Waldo Canyon burn scar. The flooding closed Highway 24 in both directions for several hours. Vehicles were damaged and some people were trapped as emergency crews arrived on the scene to help calm the chaos. There was no report of injuries, but two people had to be rescued from Fountain Creek in Manitou Springs. The American Red Cross opened a shelter for people at First Congregational Church in Manitou Springs. Colorado Department of Transportation workers used heavy machinery to help clear the mess.
The rockslide closed a four-mile stretch of the highway. Beginning at about 3:30 p.m., the highway was closed starting at 31st Street to Cascade. The eastbound part of the highway reopened at about 6 p.m. The westbound lanes opened shortly after 7 p.m. The National Weather Service in Pueblo issued a flash flood warning that was in effect until 6 p.m. that day. Colorado Springs Utilities reported several outages in the area. Flash flooding was also reported near the Black Forest burn area. The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office said that Shoup Road was closed for a short time because of flooding. Eye witnesses said that as much as 30” of water was flowing over the road at the height of the storm.

Tri-Lakes area youths learn football from the pros Pro Football Camp featured 25 current and former NFL players By Danny Summers
Dsummers@ourcoloradonews.com It didn’t take Alex Weaver long to get acclimated to his first Pro Football Camp. The 11-year-old Monument resident and sixth grader at Kilmer Elementary School joined about 300 other kids last week in doing drills and getting valuable instruction from current and former NFL players at a specialized camp. “This is fun and exciting,” Weaver said after taking part in an agility drill at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. “It’s kinda cool. “These guys are easy to talk to. They’re just normal guys who happen to be playing in the NFL.” Weaver had no problem making friends as he spent Tuesday through Friday (July 9-11) mornings taking part in action-packed drills with other kids his age. He even encouraged fellow classmate and Black Forest resident Ben Breisch to join him at the camp. “He dragged me along and I’m glad he did,” Breisch said. “This is awesome. We’re doing drills and also getting a lot of autographs.” The campers came from all over the Pikes Peak Region. Many were there for the first time, but some, like Logan Reichardt of Monument, have made the Pro Football Camp an annual event. “This is my third year,” said Reichardt, a fifth grader at Antelope Trails Elementary. “This camp helps me improve. The
Jake Potter, right, of Palmer Lake and Ethan Brunk, left, of Monument, race each other during a drill at last week’s Pro Football camp. Danny Summers pros show us how to improve to be as good as them.” The camp is in eighth year. Among the 25 current and former pros giving instruction were Denver Broncos linebacker Steven Johnson and offensive lineman Chris Kuper, as well as Manitou Springs alumnus and former Broncos wide receiver Justin Armour. “I like the receiving drills the best,” said 10-year-old Jake Potter of Palmer Lake. “They teach us the right way to go out for a pass and catch the ball.”
The camp instructs each athlete on the proper techniques and fundamentals for each position on the field. “We don’t turn away any kids,” said Rich Griffith, who played eight years in the NFL with the New England Patriots and Jacksonville Jaguars. “We see these kids as the next generation. We’re investing in their lives. Griffith is the offensive line coach at The Classical Academy and one of the founders of the Pro Football Camp. Eight years ago he, along with local sports
agents Craig and Teddi Doman, came up with the idea of the Pro Football Camp. “I’m now an old guy and I’ve been out of the game for 12 years,” Griffith said. “The only thing I’ve got are great stories and some experience. I want to use those stories and experience to invest in this next generation. “We go through great fundamentals and the basics of the game. These kids are understanding the fundamentals of how to play the game the right way.” Teaching life skills is the central theme of the camp. “Team spirit and that unity that go along with it,” Griffith said. “But there’s also the aspect of perseverance. The aspect of attitude. Being a coachable player. All those things are life skills that will help me the rest of my life. “It continues to solidify itself in everything I do. It has to permeate. It becomes a belief system.” The event kicked off with a charity golf tournament July 8 at Flying Horse Golf and Retreat Center in North Gate. Proceeds from the tournament - and a silent auction - provided scholarships for many of the campers. About 40 of those campers received new shoes upon their arrival. “We designed this camp to make an impact in the community,” Teddi Doman said. “As long as we see that and have the support of the community we will continue to put it on. “We have an incredible steering committee of 20-plus people, but we can’t do it all. We have to have a community that gets involved. We have well over 100 volunteers out here. As long as we continue to have that support we’ll make that happen.”

Dsummers@ourcoloradonews.com Debbie Might and her twin brother, Donald, starting at age two, spent 22 years on ice skates, perfecting their craft at the old Broadmoor World Arena. It was at the famed ice palace - the site of five World Championships - where Might met and skated with former and future Olympians, and developed lifelong relationships with some of the sport’s greatest athletes. Today, some 50 years after she laced up for the first time, Might - a longtime Woodmoor resident - is putting the final touches on the Broadmoor Skating Club’s Gala 75th anniversary celebration. “It’s going to be a fun reunion,” said Might, who is chairman of the event. “We will have every decade represented from the 1940s on. We’ll have people represented from 10 states, as well as Canada, Mexico and Australia.” In January, BSC president John Lefevre brought up the idea of a grand 75th anniversary celebration and asked Might if she wouldn’t mind organizing the event. Two current members of the board had already offered to be on the committee before Might even knew about it. “I put together the rest of the committee and we’ve been having a lot of fun organizing this event,” Might said. Might’s committee consists of Janet Champion (a former child star of Ice Follies, a coach and board member of the BSC), Lois Nesselhauf (past manager of the old Broadmoor World Arena), John Cerny (past BSC board member), Rita Cerny (past BSC president) and Might’s husband, Mark Steinberg. The two-day event kicks off with a dinner on Aug. 10 at the Cheyenne Mountain Resort, followed by a lunch on Aug. 11 at U.S. Figure Skating Museum. As many as 200 people are expected to attend the dinner at $70 a plate. Among those to be recognized will be former Olympic and World Champions Hayes Alan Jenkins and Peggy Fleming, and former World Champion Jill Trenary Dean. Trenary Dean makes her home in the Broadmoor area. Many National and World Junior and World Professional champions will also be in attendance. Also scheduled to be at the event are former ice dancers James Millns and Colleen O’Connor (bronze medalists at 1976 Olympics) and former United States Women’s Champion Rachael Flatt (2010). The master of ceremonies will be former Olympian and two-time U.S Silver medalist Christy Krall, formerly Haigler. Krall lives in Colorado Springs and is a coach. A 1977 graduate of Cheyenne Mountain High School, Might’s world revolved around ice skating and the old Broadmoor World Arena. Her late father, Jack Might, was a charter member of the club in 1938, and was its president from 1971-1984 - the longest running president in club history. He and his partner, Patty Vaeth (Croke), along with Patty Sonnekson, were the Pikes Peak Figure Skating Club’s (name changed to Broadmoor Skating Club in the late 1940s) first

Woodmoor resident Debbie Might, far right in front, is the chairman for the Broadmoor Skating Club 75th Anniversary gala event that takes place Aug. 10-11. Might began skating with the club in the early 1960s. She is pictured here with the other committee members. From left to right: Lois Nesselhauf, Janet Champion and Mark Steinberg. Photo by Photo provided by Debbie Might three competitors. Jack and Patty Vaeth were their first National medalists and World Team members. Unfortunately, Worlds was not held due to World War II, so they were unable to compete. “I was a member of the club for 38 years,” Might said. “In fact, an immediate member of my family, all five of us at one point, had been a member of the club for 69 of its 75 years. “It’s a family thing. My dad put on all sorts of ice shows and competitions. It was pretty much a long steady history of putting on events at the rink.” Might skated on the same ice as Olympic champion and fellow Cheyenne Mountain alum Peggy Fleming, as well as dozen’s of the world’s top figure skaters. “I remember the days of the KGB coming into the rink,” Might said with a smile. “I saw them at the World Championships at the Broadmoor in 1965, 1969 and 1975. “These intimidating men would come into the rink with their black suits, coats and hats on following the Soviet skating contingents’ every move. It was the time of the Cold War and a time of defections of some of the Soviet Union’s top intellectuals, sports champions and premier ballet dancers.

The KGB was there to make sure everyone who came with them left with them. It was an interesting time.” Might has long since retired from competitive skating. In fact, she is not even a member of the club anymore, but she does keep up with things since one of her Woodmoor neighbors and friend since childhood is BSC vice president David Hamula. She has also stayed close to her many skating friends from the past. Might occasionally stops by the new World Arena to visit with friends or watch an event. But as far as she’s concerned, the old facility can never be replaced. “For any of us who skated at the old Broadmoor World Arena, we miss it terribly,” she said. “When I go to the new arena, though it’s a beautiful place, it has a totally different feel.” For more information or to register for the event go to www.broadmoorskatingclub.com. It is open to anyone who had a connection to the Broadmoor Skating Club, the Broadmoor World Arena, the new Colorado Springs World Arena or anyone with fond memories of skating at the Broadmoor.

House GOP leadership changes hands Loveland business owner picked to lead minority party By Vic Vela
vvela@ourcoloradonews.com A Loveland lawmaker has gone from delivering pizzas to Colorado houses to being the Republican leader of the Colorado House. Rep. Brian DelGrosso on July 11 was elected House minority leader by members of his party. DelGrosso, who delivered pizzas for Domino’s before buying three franchises of his own, was praised by fellow Republicans during a brief election at the Capitol.
“I’ve seen Brian fight relentlessly for our values, and for our caucus, and for what’s dear to our heart,” said Rep. Libby Szabo, RArvada. “And I appreciate that. And I believe those are key traits to being a leader. “And he makes a hell of a pizza.” DelGrosso has served in the House since 2009 and has been a member of the House Finance and Appropriations committees. A Wyoming native, DelGrosso moved to Colorado after serving in the Air Force and the Wyoming National Guard, before he delivered pizzas for a local Domino’s franchise. DelGrosso now owns Domino’s franchises in Loveland and Windsor. “It’s definitely very humbling for me to be here today, to be in this position,” DelGrosso said. DelGrosso replaces Rep. Mark Waller, RColorado Springs as minority leader. Waller stepped down from his leadership role on
July 11, so he can focus on his campaign for attorney general. Waller said he felt “a little bit melancholy” to be stepping down as minority leader, but said “it’s the right thing to do.” Waller said he was proud of how he led his party during the recent legislative session — one where Republicans faced an uphill battle on just about every issue in the Democrat-controlled General Assembly. “While we lost a lot of votes because we simply did not have the numbers, we certainly won a lot of debates,” Waller said. DelGrosso praised Waller’s leadership before blasting the agenda that Democrats pursued this year. DelGrosso opposed many of the efforts that Democrats touted, such as school finance reform, civil unions and gun control. DelGrosso said he will work to “repeal and correct the onerous bills that were
passed this previous session.” He also said that Coloradans “took notice” of the Democrats’ issues platform. “Today isn’t about me, it’s about our election,” he said. “And we all know that elections have consequences.” House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, DDenver, shook hands with DelGrosso after the election and took the high road in a press statement that was issued afterward. “We don’t always agree, but we do always manage to have a productive dialogue,” Ferrandino said. “I congratulate him and hope he will lead his caucus toward bipartisan solutions on the issues most important to the people of Colorado.” Republican Rep. Frank McNulty of Highlands Ranch, a former House speaker, said DelGrosso will face challenges that McNulty never faced when he led the House GOP.

willcom tions eople It’s pretty rare when both sides of a gun-control deHigh-bate — much less a lawsuit said— walk away happy. Nul- But that’s what hapGOP. pened recently, after parties who are tangled in a lawsuit over recently instituted Colorado gun laws came to an agreement on a couple of areas of contention. The agreement was limited to clarifying language having to do with limits on gun ammunition magazines and whether gun owners could allow anyone besides themselves to handle those magazines. The agreement had nothing to do with the meat that’s left in the lawsuit, which deals with whether the gun laws — which were passed by the Democratcontrolled Legislature and signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper earlier this year — violate the Second Amendment. Plaintiffs in the lawsuit against Hickenlooper — which are made up of gunrights groups that include 55 county sheriffs — were set to ask a federal judge on July 10 to block parts of the gun laws, specifically one that limits large-capacity ammunition magazines to 15 rounds. But, the night before the hearing, the two sides end-

ed up coming to an agreement that clarifies which magazines are banned under the law, and clears up confusion over issues pertaining to the temporary possession of gun magazines by someone besides the owner. “We were ready for what we thought would be a big battle,” said plaintiffs’ attorney Dave Kopel. “As it turned out, 24 hours from the hearing, we had everything we were asking for.” Hickenlooper, a Democrat, and Attorney General John Suthers, a Republican, had drafted memos outlining how the gun laws should be enforced. But the plaintiffs argued that the memos regarding the magazine limit law needed clarification. The plaintiffs were concerned that the law banned magazines with removable baseplates, which are “designed to be readily converted” to hold more than 15 rounds. This, they were set to argue, could have ended up banning nearly all ammunition magazines. The plaintiffs also were concerned that language in the law that requires gun owners to be in “continuous possession” of their magazines would essentially bar anyone else besides the gun owners from handling them. The state’s attorneys agreed to make technical language adjustments in the memos, clarifying that the laws do not affect magazines with baseplates and that “continuous possession” only means continuous gun ownership.
