Wellness facility to be built in Monument Company will take new approach to healthcare Penrose-St. Francis Health Services and the YMCA of the Pikes Peak Region have announced a collaboration, along with developer, The Boldt Co., to create next-generation wellness facility in Monument. What if healthcare focused on keeping people healthy instead of waiting to treat people until they are sick? According to Penrose St. Francis Health Services and the YMCA of the Pikes Peak Region, that change would mean lower healthcare costs,
more convenient care and most importantly, a healthier community. Because of that, those two organizations, along with developer The Boldt Co., have teamed up to begin work on the Tri-Lakes Community Health Village in Monument, said a joint release from the companies. The Tri-Lakes Community Health Village will include a 50,000 square foot outpatient facility that will be directly attached to the Tri-Lakes YMCA, which is the YMCA of the Pikes Peak Region’s newest location. In addition to the existing services ofFacility continues on Page 8

But he is saying that if one such super secret model existed – which it more than likely does at an unnamed location in the Tri-Lakes area – it would be an exceptional vehicle. “This test model is in full stealth mode in the photos,” Heard said. “The super secret skin is not visible; kind of like Harry Potter’s invisibility cloak to Vehicles continues on Page 9

Blaze that started near Fox Run Park under investigation
available as of Sept. 12. The fire started Sunday afternoon on Happy Landing Drive by Fox Run Regional Park. Investigators are calling the 30 feet by 50 feet fire suspicious because there was no lightning in the area at the time. There is no suspect information or cause right now, according to Kramer. Investigators said three small fires that were reported in July in nearby area also were labeled as suspicious.

There’s nothing like the fall colors of Cripple Creek Aspen Tours over the next two weekends By Danny Summers
Dsummers@ourcoloradonews.com The drive from Divide to Cripple Creek along Highway 67 is quite lovely anytime of the year. But that stretch of road becomes almost intoxicating in late September with the changing of the aspen leaves. From now through early October, thousands of Coloradans and other visitors from around the country are expected to flock to Teller County to experience the vibrant shade of gold leaves that only aspen trees provide. “There are a ton of people in our region who are very familiar with the changing of the aspen leaves,” said Debbie Miller, president of the Greater Woodland Park Chamber of Commerce. “You can tell by the flow of traffic on the highway where they’re probably headed.” The aspen is the quintessential Colorado tree. The month of September is the ideal time to witness the changing of the leaves. The color lasts only about a week in most places. It is difficult to predict when exactly the leaves will turn in any given location. Because of the high elevation and other climate factors in Teller County, the aspen leaves – especially along Highway 67 from Divide to Cripple Creek – tend to transform earlier than other parts of the state. This next two weekends (Sept. 21-22 and Sept. 28-29), the 2 Mile High Club – based in Gold Camp – will be giving special Aspen Tours free of charge. Donations are encouraged and much appreciated. The first tour departs from the Cripple Creek District Museum about 9 a.m. on Saturday. The last tour departs around 4 p.m. Tours are on a first come, first served basis. Reservations are not accepted. “From time to time we have people asking where to go to look at the aspens,” said Julie Matulas, office manager for the TriLakes Chamber of Commerce. “We send them to Woodland Park and tell them to head up to Cripple Creek.

‘From time to time we have people asking where to go to look at the aspens.’ Julie Matulas, office manger for the Tri Lakes Chamber of Commerce seems to be the most popular place around here.” The 2 Mile High Club (named so because Gold Camp is about 9,500 feet elevation – just below tree line) was formed in 1931 to care for the town’s free-roaming donkey herd. Donations from the Aspen Tours are

applied to feed costs and veterinarian services required for the donkeys. The donkeys are believed to be direct descendents of those used by miners during the region’s gold rush days more than 100 years ago. The Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining
Co. plays a key role in the Aspen Tours by providing buses, drivers and opens access to private land. The 2 Mile High Club provides tour guides and lots of local history. The buses make several stops, allowing participants photography opportunities not usually available to the public. Aspen viewing in the Pikes Peak region is best along Highway 67 and Teller County 1. But there is also a breathtaking drive along Gold Camp Road from Colorado Springs to Divide. Other viewing areas in southwest Colorado include US 285 from Conifer to Fairplay over Kenosha Pass; US 24 from Minturn through Leadville to Twin Lakes via Colorado 82, and back to Colorado 91 over Fremont Pass to Copper Mountain.
Take the BEST of the BEST with you wherever you go.

opinions / yours and ours
Women, liquor and the local option The “liquor question” was considered early in most of the Rocky Mountain West, by some accounts, because of the political power of various women’s movements in the region. Groups like the Anti-Saloon League and the Women’s Christian Temperance Union pushed for voluntarily abstaining from the demon “John Barleycorn,” but organization’s like Prohibition Party sought direct legislation. In Colorado, the anti-liquor forces couldn’t universally agree on tactics. Local option laws, in place in some of the state’s communities continuously since the 1880s, showed a wide range of ideas. “The town was full of idle and vicious men, driftwood from railroad and ditch camps, irresponsible creatures, without home or friends who hung about the saloons and brothels,” according to Ansel Watrous’ “History of Larimer County.” “With an increase in crime and arson,” wrote Erin Udell in a recent article in the Rocky Mountain Collegian. “The city kept raising liquor license prices until they reached $1,000 from the original $300. Eventually in 1884, the Fort Collins city
council took its first stab at prohibition, making the sale and consumption of alcohol illegal.” Udell says fines for distributing alcohol were lower than the original liquor license prices and the city lost money, so it reinstated the sale of alcohol. By that time, Christian temperance movements had become prominent in the West, placing added pressure on city officials to reinstate prohibition. “In 1895, many Fort Collins residents got their wish when Frederick R. Baker, a known advocate for the temperance movement, became mayor and put prohibition in effect the next year, 24 years before the nation-wide prohibition of alcohol.”
letter to the editor State of education better than ever As a member of the Palmer Ridge High School faculty and head of the social studies department since its inception, I want all constituents in the Tri-Lakes area to know that the state of education and the staff is better than ever at PRHS. I have had numerous opportunities to meet with fellow social studies teachers from the region, the state – through the Colorado Council for Economic Education – and the nation (through my grading of the A.P. U.S. history tests in Louisville, Ky.), and clearly most would trade places with me in a heartbeat. The high school is one of the top 10 high schools in Colorado based upon ACT scores. Advanced Placement courses blossomed over the past six years at Palmer Ridge in terms of both course offerings and student pass rates. Last year’s pass rate was 82 percent on all AP tests taken, while the state and national averages were both 61 percent. PRHS exceeds standards in all Colorado
TCAP areas, but we are especially proud of our great progress with minorities and students with disabilities. Across the board, departments at PRHS have remained strong and have replaced those leaving (primarily because of retirement, personal moves, or health decisions) with extremely qualified teachers. Success like we have achieved comes from two important areas – teachers who are bright and caring, and students who share these same attributes. From a personal standpoint, I could not be happier to be associated with the teachers and administrators who surround me. My 26 years in the military before teaching helped me to understand the components of a great organization. This is one. However, the strength of D-38 schools depends on the continuing support of the Tri-Lakes community. We achieve and succeed because you also believe that great schools are a reflection of great communities. To maintain the excellence of D-38, vote for the MLO. Mark Ewig, U.S. Air Force Retired, Palmer Ridge High School
Air Force Academy is a young pup in the world of service academies In June, I had the unique honor of writing a story about Air Force Academy Basic Trainees who marched into Jacks Valley. As I stood among the 1,000-plus firstyear trainees, a song played over the loudspeaker that brought the moment home: “Off We Go Into The Wild Blue Yonder.” Having lived in the Pikes Peak region since September 2001, I have grained a greater appreciation for the Academy, as well as all of the dedicated men and women who are based at various military installations in our area. The Academy, of course, is one of three such military facilities of its kind in the United States. The others are Army (established in 1802) in West Point, New York, and Navy (established in 1845) in Annapolis, Maryland. The Air Force Academy is by far the youngest of the three service academies. It wasn’t established until 1950 and ground wasn’t broken for the construction of buildings on the current site until 1954. The first graduating class was 1959. But what many people don’t know is that the actual Air Force didn’t even exist until the National Security Act of 1947. The legislation was introduced in July of that year. Two months later, September 18, 1947 (66 years ago today), the Air Force was officially born as a separate military service. Colorado Springs wasn’t immediately selected as the site of the new Academy. The original 582 proposed sites were cut down to three - Alton, Illinois, Lake
Udell quotes Treloar Bower, the curator of education for the Fort Collins Museum. “Prohibition started earlier here than in other parts of the county most likely because of the greater influence and louder voice possessed by the women of our community, many who were for temperance … in general, women in the West held greater standing in society than back east.” “While Colorado was the second state to give voting rights to women — Wyoming was first — Colorado was first to do so by public referendum. This means the majority of voting men in the state voted to allow women that right,” notes Udell. “In 1912, an amendment to prevent the manufacture and sale of liquor was submitted to the electorate,” wrote Carl Ubbelohde, Maxine Benson and Duane A. Smith in “A Colorado History.” “The voters defeated the proposal. But that defeat stirred the various groups to common action. Submerging their differences, they sponsored another amendment two years later. This time the voters answered the question of ratification affirmatively, approving an experiment in social engineering, despite a two-to-one rejection of
I get asked regularly about train robbers. We are close to the range of the wellknown “Hole In The Wall Gang,” which included Sundance and Butch, but they were mainly in Wyoming. There were a few along the Front Range, near Denver. The track south from Denver got steep here and there, which resulted in a slowrunning train. I found a 1902 story in the Cripple Creek newspapers which falls into this category. In early 1902, a train was robbed on the Denver and Rio Grande as it climbed Marshall Pass, west of Salida. The railroad immediately sent out detectives to track down the bad man. The government was involved too, because the loot included mail. Three of these men arrived at a hotel in Victor, Colo., and arrested a single man. He was loaded onto the next train to Colorado Springs. He was allowed to write a letter, which was mailed on the way to the train. The letter was to a gent who lived in Cripple Creek. In it, the fellow said that he had been arrested, and was being taken to Denver. He said that had he gone by his own intentions he would have been miles away. He blamed his friend for his arrest. “They seem to think they have one of the party of

Geneva, Wisconsin, and Colorado Springs. On June 24, 1954, the Secretary of the Air Force, Harold E. Talbott (more on him below), announced the winning site. The advisory board that considered the sites consisted of some heavy hitters, including Charles Lindbergh, General Carl Spaatz, and Lieutenant General Hubert R. Harmon, who later became the Academy’s first superintendent. Nobody can say for certain, but there’s a good chance that then President Dwight D. Eisenhower had at least some influence over Colorado Springs being chosen as the site. In January 1950, the Service Academy Board, headed by Eisenhower - then president of Columbia University - concluded that the needs of the Air Force could not be met by the two existing U.S. service academies and that an air force academy should be established. Eisenhower spent significant time in
the amendment in Denver. The ‘wet’ forces in the capital city threatened to use the new ‘home rule’ prerogatives of the city to escape the effect o the law, but on Jan 1, 1916, prohibition became the rules in Denver and all of Colorado.” Colorado was joined by six other states, (Iowa, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Arkansas and South Carolina) at that stroke of midnight as 1500 saloons, 500 hotels, restaurant and drugstores stopped selling and 12 beer breweries closed. “As first passed into law, Colorado’s dry period was peppered with loopholes. One was letting residents purchase alcohol for religious and medicinal purposes. Shortly after the law went into effect, the city issued 16,000 prescription forms for doctors, who could prescribe four-ounce doses of liquor for needy patients with each form. One particularly pious congregation was nabbed by authorities for consuming 400 gallons of “sacramental wine” in a month. Under a later revision, individuals were allowed two pints of wine and 24 quarts of

train robbers,” he said. It seems he had worked for several men in Cripple Creek, and had gone prospecting in the Gunnison district. He had recently returned to Cripple Creek, but told friends he thought he was being followed. He related that he was close to the railroad at the time of the crime. A friend suggested he stay, perhaps in a secluded area, until things cooled off. He must have tried to do that, but the detectives were not fooled. They found his hiding spot, not actually a good selection on his part. When they arrested him, they found part of the loot from the hold up. Eventually they found most of the rest, short what he had spent, including his hotel room expense. He eventually was tried, and went to McFarland continues on Page 7

beer each month for personal consumption. Denver city auditor Fred Stackhouse noted in 1917 that the city issued 59,339 liquor permits to individuals,” wrote Dick Kreck in a 2009 story for The Denver Post. “Another loophole allowed beer and spirits to be imported for personal use from wet states. Starting in 1916, an estimated $3,000 to $5,000 of whiskey a month was pouring across the Wyoming-Colorado border. One ‘importer’ was nabbed with 2,000 pints of whiskey disguised as olive oil and salad dressing,” said Kreck. “Despite several failed attempts to
let Denver go its own way on the issue (including a measure to allow beer but not hard liquor), the city joined the rest of Colorado when the state officially went dry on Jan. 1, 1916. The state legislature tightened the law in November 1918, banning any form of alcohol. Citizens were allowed to keep alcohol in their homes, but since its manufacture and distribution were illegal, it was a moot point — although it made enforcement even more difficult.” With prohibition, many saloons became lunch counters and soft drink fountains and for the first time, women (other than those working the saloons) were welcomed. “Dainty, high-heeled feet rested on the familiar brass rail, accustomed in the past to nothing but a trousered tread,” reported the Rocky Mountain News at the time.

Colorado before and after his presidency. He was a frequent visitor to The Broadmoor and played the golf course several times. It is no coincidence that the Air Force Academy golf course is named in honor of Eisenhower. The early Air Force Academy leadership faced monumental tasks, including the development of an appropriate curriculum, establishment of a faculty, design of a distinctive cadet uniform, as well as oversight of the construction of the permanent site and the creation of a structure for military and flight training. To establish the foundations of the Academy program, officials ultimately drew from sources within the Air Force, West Point and Annapolis. The Academy’s permanent site had not yet been completed when the first class entered, so the 306 cadets from the Class of 1959 were sworn in at a temporary site at Lowry Air Force Base in Denver on July 11, 1955. The Academy’s dedication ceremony took place on that first day and was broadcast live on national television, with the famed Walter Cronkite covering the event. Cronkite, by the way, also was a frequent guest of The Broadmoor. While at Lowry, the cadets were housed in renovated World War II barracks. There were no upper class cadets to train the new cadets, so the Air Force appointed a cadre of Air Training Officers (ATOs) to conduct training. The ATOs were junior officers. Many of them were graduates of West Point, Annapolis and The Citadel
McFarland
(the military college of South Carolina in Charleston established in 1842). Lieutenant general Arnold Braswell was commander of the original four cadet squadrons at the academy 1955 to 1958. Braswell is 87 years old today and resides in Sterling, Virginia. Secretary of the Air Force Harold Talbott was in charge of developing the distinctive uniforms for the cadets. He looked to Hollywood for help. Famed director Cecil B. DeMille (of Ten Commandments fame) came up with designs that were pleasing to the Air Force and Academy leadership. DeMille’s designs of the cadet parade uniform were ultimately adopted and are still worn by cadets today. On August 29, 1958, the wing of 1,145 cadets moved to the Academy’s present site. The first graduation class was commissioned less than a year later on June 3, 1959. The Class of 1959 established important traditions that are still in use today. That class adopted the Cadet Honor Code and chose the fierce falcon as the Academy’s mascot. In 1957, the Air Force cadets marched President Eisenhower’s second inauguration parade in Washington, D.C. Not everything was in place when the cadets finally moved into their permanent home. The football stadium, for example, was not constructed until 1962. As a result, Air Force football teams spent their first seven seasons as traveling nomads. The Falcons played their home games at various sites across Colorado. Most games were played at the University of Denver, but several were played in Colorado Springs, Pueblo, and the University of Colorado’s Folsom Field in Boulder.

fered at the YMCA Family Center, the TriLakes Community Health Village will include urgent care, primary care, rehab, occupational medicine, imaging, and other specialty services, comprehensive wellness services and a marketplace in order to keep people healthy and improve their overall quality of life, the release said. “We’re extremely excited to partner with the YMCA to create the next generation of healthcare delivery in the Tri-Lakes area that focuses beyond the walls of our hospitals,” said Margaret Sabin, president and CEO of Penrose-St. Francis Health Services, which is part of Centura Health, the region’s leading health care network. “Our innovative health neighborhoods approach is a total solution for consumers, providing optimal healthcare value while setting a new standard of care that Coloradans will come to expect.” “The health village’s model aims to deliver better care by focusing on wellness and prevention to keep people healthy, utilizing evidence-based medicine and best practices and increasing convenience through multiple access points—all within a friendly service environment. “At the Y, we nurture the potential of children, empower people to lead fuller lives and develop innovative and community-based solutions that unite people from all walks of life to participate in and work
for positive social change,” said Dan Dummermuth, president and CEO of the YMCA of the Pikes Peak Region. “The community health village concept and collaboration with Penrose-St. Francis Health Services will strongly deliver on each of our focus areas – youth development, healthy living and social responsibility – and positively impact the Tri-Lakes community with preventive care services.” The Boldt Co. will serve as the owner and developer of the outpatient facility and the new shared lobby. Boldt is not only the developer, but also the facilitator of the project and has opened up communication with the YMCA and brought both Penrose and the YMCA to the table in order to get the project off the ground. “Boldt is extremely excited to be able to partner with such forward thinkers as Penrose-St. Francis Health Services and the YMCA of the Pikes Peaks Region to bring this innovative project to the community. Our partners are writing a new chapter as healthcare transitions from sick care to preventive care, and it is leadership like this that really makes the project fun to be a part of,” said Jake Garro of The Boldt Co. Development Group. The health village will feature health information technology and appropriatelytrained staff such as health navigators to guide users through the system and customize each person’s needs across a full spectrum of available services. This approach enhances a healthcare provider’s ability to follow patients across the healthcare continuum and treat the whole person, rather than just a medical

the naked eye.” Heard, a Palmer Lake resident and Kiwanis club member, has been working with several other area folks on the design and build of a human powered vehicle that is custom built for the upcoming Kinetic Sculpture and Street Fair, sponsored by the Tri-Lakes Chamber of Commerce. The event takes place Saturday, Oct. 5 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. “Our kinetic sculpture is a replica of a 1941 U.S. Army scout car,” Heard said. “And it’s built for off-road.” The four-person vehicle is one of several that will take part in the seven-mile race that will start and end in Monument. The majority of the derby will be run on the Santa Fe Trail. Racers will go around Palmer Lake (or what was once Palmer Lake) and return to the starting point. “We’re getting a lot of phone calls every day from people who want more informa-
tion,” said Julie Matalus, office manager for the Tri-Lakes Chamber of Commerce and one of the organizers of the event. “We anticipate there will be a lot of people at the start and a few people lining the course.” The chamber is compensating for the area’s lack of water by introducing super soakers street wear for a small fee. Children of all ages are welcome to bring their super soakers and water and soak the contestants as they ride. “This should be a really fun event,” Matalus said. It has long been a dream of the chamber to see the streets of Monument and Palmer Lake filled with the amphibious-type vehicles. The street fair was originally scheduled for Labor Day, Sept. 2. It was moved to the first Saturday in October in order to allow folks more time to build their kinetic sculptures. Heard and his crew (most are ages 70 and older) have been working on their vehicle for six months. Jerry Pokorny is the chief engineer. “Jerry’s set land speed records on his motorcycle at Bonneville,” Heard said. “He’s re-
ally overqualified for this race. Heard said that he and his team are ready to take on all comers. “With age and wisdom is the belief that we can take on anybody on the planet,” Heard said with a smile. “We’re putting the smack down on anybody else who would dare to show up that day.” The derby encourages talent and creativity. The kinetic sculptures can be elaborate (like the Kiwanis vehicle) or as simple as two bikes with a bar between them. “The event seems like more fun than decent people should be allowed to have,” Heard said. According to the chamber, the concept of kinetic sculpture racing originated in Ferndale, Calif., in 1969 when local sculptor Hobart Brown “improved” the appearance of his son’s tricycle by welding on two additional wheels and other embellishments. Seeing this “Pentacycle,” fellow artist Jack Mays challenged him to a race. Others later joined in creating a field of 12 machines that inaugurated the first race down Ferndale’s Main Street during the city’s annual art festival.

The very best educator in the district Longtime teacher is Hall of Fame inductee By By Genevieve H. Garcia Special to Tribune
A teacher, a writer, an artist and historian, Grace Best will be remembered as a pioneer in the Lewis-Palmer School District. Grace Conrad Best was born in 1907 on a farm near Sedalia and attended schools in Douglas County. In 1930, Grace married Stuart Best and they moved to the Best Family Ranch in Spring Valley. After her three girls – Doris, Janet, and Charlotte – were born, she returned to teaching. Grace graduated with a twoyear teaching certificate from Colorado State Teachers College in Greeley and then earned her bachelor’s degree from Western State in Gunnison in 1961. Teaching in the Glen Grove School, Littleton Public Schools, Spring Valley School and the Larkspur School, Grace taught 10 years before the family moved on to Palmer Lake. A friend from the Spring Valley community, Bruce Younger (Norma Younger Lavelett’s father), was on the school board for LewisPalmer District 38 and told her

Courtesy photos there was an opening at Palmer Lake Elementary School.The family relocated to Palmer Lake where Grace began her 24-year teaching career at Palmer Lake Elementary School and the rest is history. After teaching for 34 years, Grace retired from Lewis-Palmer, but not from community service. She was an active member of the Little Log Church in Palmer Lake and taught Sunday school with her friend, Virgil Watkins. Grace was a founding member of the Palmer Lake Little Art Group and was also enthusiastically involved
in the Palmer Lake Historical Society. Best was instrumental in procuring funds for the Lucretia Vaile Library building and was the director of the Palmer Lake Museum for years. Very active as a reading tutor at Palmer Lake Elementary, Grace authored eight children’s novels about Jeremiah Mouse and his adventures in Palmer Lake, on Elephant Rock, and the surrounding area. Along with her friend, Tricia Cedarleaf from the Art Group, they wrote and illustrated the
books, as well as made miniature figures of Jeremiah and his friends that are now cherished by children and grownups alike. On Jan. 8, 1995, Best died, leaving her three daughters, eight grandchildren and nine great grandchildren, as well as hundreds of friends and thousands of past students who all remember her fondly today. In honor of the dedication of Best and in recognition of her contributions to the Tri-Lakes area and the Lewis-Palmer School District, the board of education

Arapahoe, Broomfield, Clear Creek, Denver, Fremont, Jefferson, Morgan, Logan, Pueblo, Washington and Weld counties. Emergency assistance is designed to supplement state and local efforts to provide life-saving and life-sustaining measures to areas affected by the severe storms, flooding, landslides and mudslides. Direct federal assistance includes a range of assistance undertaken by federal partners, including urban search and rescue teams, air operations, food, water, cots, generators, and emergency flood control measures. In a separate action on Saturday, Sept. 14, President Barack Obama also declared a major disaster declaration for Boulder County. The President’s declaration makes federal assistance available to individuals in Boulder County for temporary housing and home repairs, low-cost loans to cover unin-

Joe Wahl of Monument, left, along with two other American students including his St. Mary’s High School classmate Sarah Kraus, prepare to explore the great wall of China.
The greaT ‘Wahl’ High school junior spent part of summer in China By Amy Partain
M
any high-school students dream of world travel, including St. Mary’s High School junior Joe Wahl. But until recently, he probably hadn’t thought that he would spend part of the summer of 2013 in China. Yet that is exactly where Wahl spent three weeks during his vacation. His trip was made possible by China Project Hope, an organization that has placed Chinese exchange students at St. Mary’s High School for the last few years. Wahl was excited to experience another culture, especially one so different from the one he has grown up in. He said his main objective was to test his adaptability and independence. “China was the perfect opportunity to do this,” said Wahl, who lives in Monument. “If you asked someone to name one culture that was most opposite from ours, nine times out of 10, they would say China. And I love Chinese food, at least the American take on it, and I couldn’t wait to try some original stuff while I was there.” Wahl has grown up in an Air Force family and did a lot of traveling when he was younger, including stays in Germany and Japan. Those experiences sparked an interest in traveling for Wahl and created a fascination with other cultures. “I really wanted to experience how life was there, more than just seeing the Great Wall and Shaolin Temple,” he said. “I wanted to find out for myself

I wanted to know their perspectives of us, the peoples’ opinion of the Taiwan and Tibet situation, and how they felt about living in China.” Just as exchange students to the United States stay with host families, Wahl and Sarah Kraus, another St. Mary’s student who was part of the summer exchange, spent the first week staying with families in Zhengzhou in the Henan province. There they observed classes at a Chinese school in the morning and late afternoon. When they weren’t in school, Wahl and Kraus had the opportunity to see the Henan Museum, a university and the Shaolin
Temple. The second week of the trip was spent in Beijing, where they saw the Ming tombs and the Great Wall. When those two weeks were over and Kraus returned home, Wahl headed back to Zhengzhou to spend an additional week with the Chinese family whose son, Michael, the Wahl family had hosted last year. While with Michael’s family, Wahl visited a zoo, ate at local restaurants and took a two-day trip to see the Terracotta Warriors. Although there wasn’t much free time, Wahl said when he had the chance that he liked to walk around and try to bargain with street vendors or buy food.
And while he saw and experienced much during the visit, food was huge part of the experience for Wahl. Wahl’s favorite memory involves food. The incident happened at a hot pot restaurant, where a large pot of boiling water seasoned with herbs is placed on a table and customers cook their meat and vegetables in the water. “One of the China Project Hope teachers came to my plate and scooped a spoonful of chili sauce and chili slices on it for me to put on everything I was eating,” Wahl said. “One of these chilies became wedged between my braces and my gum while I was eating. It felt like acid against the inside of my cheek and mouth.” But the food adventure wasn’t over yet for Wahl. Still getting used to eating noodles with chopsticks, Wahl slurped up a noodle, which jump wildly and splashed chili sauce into his eye. “At the time I didn’t think this would become a favored memory, but when I look back on it, it was quite the Chinese food experience,” he said. And while Wahl enjoyed the food in China, it was American food that he missed most during his stay. Between the spicy food and using chopsticks, Wahl said he ended up dreaming of American hamburgers. Despite the challenges, Wahl said he would go love to go back to China since it took awhile to adapt. He said it was only in the last couple of days of being there that he became comfortable in his new environment. “Because China was so different, it took a while to fully adapt to food, language or even things like crossing the street,” he said. “I would really like to go back, and use what I have learned to enjoy my experience even more than last time.”

Zombies coming to Fox Run Regional Park El Paso County Parks showcase emergency preparedeness event By Danny Summers
Dsummers@ourcoloradonews.com If you are a zombie, ever played one on television, or aspire to be a zombie, then Fox Run Regional Park is where you’ll want to be on Sept. 28. That’s when El Paso County Parks will hold “Be Prepared…Don’t Be A Zombie” 5K and 3K Zombie Run. The organizers plan to hold the event annually. “The first time out we should expect around 200 people,” said Joel Quevillon, El Paso County public information officer. “We already have more than 100 people signed up. It’s open to people of all abilities.” The event is more than just an excuse for zombies to gather in a beautiful wooded area of the county. Organizers are hoping to showcase the need for all residents to develop their own family and workplace emergency preparedness plans. Two devastating fires – Waldo Canyon and Black Forest – occurred less than 365 days apart and destroyed nearly 850 homes and charred 30,000 acres in the Colorado Springs area. In addition the subsequent flash flooding this summer off the burn scars has brought emergency preparedness clearly into focus our community. “The ‘Don’t be a Zombie’ run is a fun way to provide educational information to the public and showcase the value of being prepared,” Quevillon said. “These types of races are happening all over the country. We want to use it as a way to increase people’s aware-
ness.” The Zombie Run consists of two types of events; a traditional 5K (though participants can modify their traditional running apparel to dress as zombies) and a 3K Zombie Run, where participants will be chased by zombies attempting to avoid zombies. The runners in the 3K race will wear “life flags;” similar to those in flag football. The zombies will try to steal the flags, but runners who lose both flags will get a chance to answer an emergency preparedness question to get a life flag back. “Even if people don’t want to participate in the run or be a zombie, they are welcome to come out and visit the emergency preparedness vendors who will be at the park,” said County commissioner Peggy Littleton. “This is a great opportunity to purchase items for a 72-hour emergency kit.” Quevillon noted that a zombie run in Colorado Springs makes sense for a variety of reasons. “We have a huge running community,” he said. “This is a great opportunity for people who are casual runners and long-time serious runners to come together for a great cause.” Pre-registration is required for participants by going to http://dontbeazombie2013.com. The cost is $23 for the 5K Run/ Walk, $18 for the 3K Zombie Run. You can also register to participate as a zombie chasing the runners for $10. A commemorative event T-shirt is included in your registration fee. The event begins at 10 a.m. You can watch a short video called “Zombie Run Trailer #1” is on the El Paso County YouTube Channel.

Rangers’ volleyball team remains undefeated Lewis-Palmer downs Coronado 3-1 on a day when former coach Don Lash is honored in a prematch ceremony By Danny Summers
Dsummers@ourcoloradonews.com Lewis-Palmer probably had to lose a volleyball game sometime this season. So it was only fitting that it happened on day when the Rangers honored their most successful coach in school history. Don Lash, who coached Lewis-Palmer for 17 seasons, directed his current club (Coronado) to a 25-23 first-set victory when the clubs hooked up in a non-league affair Sept. 14 at Lewis-Palmer. The stunned Rangers regrouped, winning the next three sets 25-16, 25-18 and 25-22. “That was remarkable,” Lash said of the game one victory. “For us to do that we had to be at our absolute best. That’s as well as we can play. That was everything we had.” Lewis-Palmer picked homecoming week to honor Lash, who led the Rangers to a pair of state championships and numerous league titles. Lewis-Palmer coach Susan Odenbaugh was Lash’s assistant at Lewis-Palmer before taking over the program in 2002. She felt it was necessary to honor Lash in a special way. “As alumni we were focusing on the tradition of this program and Don is a huge part of that,” Odenbaugh said. Lash was totally surprised that LewisPalmer would honor him. “Susan is a class lady,” said Lash, who posted a 310-129 record in 17 years at Lewis-Palmer (1985 through 2001). “She’s always going to do things right. That’s just the way she is.” Recent history indicates that this might be the last time the two squads meet this
year. They hooked up in the regular season and state playoffs in 2011 and 2012. “That would be fun,” said Lash, who has compiled an overall record of 510-235 in 35 years as a head coach. “I like playing against them. They’re good people. I like the kids. We know each other. It’s always a good feeling.” Lewis-Palmer (10-0) entered the match against Coronado (5-3) having won its first 23 games of the year. The Rangers feature a formidable team led by junior outside hitters Alexa Smith and Nicole Montgomery, senior setter Abigail Bartalo and senior middle hitter Carson Nicodemus. “We’re really relieved because now we don’t have the pressure to not lose a set,” said Montgomery, who had nine kills in the match. “We just weren’t very focused early on, but then we started to get into our rhythm and we eventually started clicking again.” Smith, who had a game high 20 kills, agreed with Montgomery’s assessment. “I think Coronado played their best and we just didn’t really show up in the first set,” she said. The Rangers, who are ranked 26th in the nation in one writer’s poll, are strong at every position. But they will add three more high quality players next week when Haley McCurley (outside hitter), Emily McCurley (libero) and Mariah Evans (setter) are done serving their 11-game penalties due to the Colorado High School Activities transfer rule. They are eligible to play against Palmer Ridge on Sept. 26. “They will really help us,” Smith said. “They will bring a new element to our team

Among those back for the Rangers this season are: (front to back) Abby Bartalo, Nicole Montgomery and Alexa Smith. Photo by Danny Summers that other teams haven’t seen. I think it will make us stronger.” But before the Rangers add more depth, they will travel to defending Class 5A state champion Doherty on Thursday. Doherty (4-0) is ranked 76th nationally. Bartalo, whose freshman sister Lydia is a starting middle blocker for the Rang-
ers, feels Lewis-Palmer has a great chance to advance to the 4A state finals again this season. “We definitely have more depth than last year,” she said. “Last year we had a lot of solid players, and we do again this year, but we have a lot of solid players at more positions.”
Rangers-Bears get all wet in rivalry game Monument softball teams will resume game Sept. 21 By Danny Summers
Dsummers@ourcoloradonews.com Heavy rain delayed the start of the softball game between Lewis-Palmer and Palmer Ridge high schools on Sept. 11. Umpires eventually gave the go-ahead to play ball, but Mother Nature had other ideas. With Lewis-Palmer batting in the bottom of the third inning and leading 3-2, the Pikes Peak Athletic Conference affair was stopped due to unsafe playing conditions. It will continue Sept. 21 at Lewis-Palmer High School. While the conditions may not have been ideal (mud and standing water was the norm), the majority of players seemed upbeat. “It was awesome; I loved it,” said LewisPalmer sophomore catcher Cory Holden. “It just adds to the intensity of the game. Pushing through it I had a blast.” The Sept. 11 game was played under the lights at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. The site was chosen because Lewis-Palmer’s field was under renovation; specifically the dugouts. UCCS was chosen because of the close relationship Lewis-Palmer coach Crystal Fish has with UCCS head coach Scott Peterson and assistant coach Don Pettrow. Fish was a star player at the school in the mid 2000s. “With the field and everything it really sets the tone for the rivalry,” Holden said with a smile. “I’m excited to get back out there and finish this game because I just want to win. “This is a very big deal for L-P. We want this so bad.” The Bears carried a 2-0 lead into the bottom of the third behind the strong pitching of junior right-hander Madysen Kearns (82, 162 ERA). “It was hard to grip the ball,” Kearns said.
Palmer Ridge catcher Taylor Klee scrambles for the ball after Lewis-Palmer batter Cory Holden fouled off a pitch during the Sept. 11 game between the schools. The game, played at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, was stopped in the bottom of the third inning due to unsafe playing conditions. Lewis-Palmer was leading 3-2. The game will be continued Sept. 21 at Lewis-Palmer. Photo by Danny Summers “My feet were sliding.” Lewis-Palmer senior right-hander Barb Nigon agreed that the conditions were less than favorable. “At first my hand was getting wet,” said Nigon, who is 6-3 with a 2.47 ERA, while batting .467 with a team-high 12 RBIs. “As it progressed the mud built up on my cleats and it caused me to slip. I thought my knees might buckle or something. I was getting nervous about it.” Nigon added that she is excited to get the game resumed. “I love playing (Palmer Ridge) because it gets me so pumped. It’s just so exciting.”
Palmer Ridge senior catcher Taylor Klee downplayed the rivalry game. “It’s just another conference game to us,” said Klee, who is batting .485 with 11 RBIs. The Rangers have won four of five games and are 6-6 overall after a rocky start. The Rangers enjoyed their greatest success under Fish, who guided the team to the Class 4A state semifinals in 2010. “We’re peaking just about the right time,” Fish said. “It’s ultimately up to the girls. I can give them the tools, but they’re the ones who have to get it done.” The top four teams from the PPAC are guaranteed spots in the district playoffs.
Fish believes there will be a lot of jockeying for position down the stretch. “In the seven years I’ve been part of this conference, this is the first year I feel like anybody can take it,” she said. “We have some amazing teams in the conference. Whoever steps up will take it in the end.” Palmer Ridge (9-3, 1-1) advanced to districts in 2011 and 2012, and made the state tournament for the first time in 2012. The Bears are a combined 38-19 in two-plus seasons under coach Randy Gillette. “We all bond together as a team,” Kearns said. “We all get along great. That’s probably the best part of this team.”

Dsummers@ourcoloradonews.com The Classical Academy boys’ golf team finished the regular season on a high note last week by winning the final Class 3A Tri-Peaks League match. The Titans foursome consisted of senior captain Josh Gordon (84), sophomores Noah Shin (78, personal best) and Tanner Harris (85, personal best), and freshman Robert Ball (92). The tournament was played Sept. 9 at Colorado Springs Country Club. “Winning the third Tri-Peaks golf tournament was somewhat of a surprise,” said TCA coach Bob Gravelle. “We went into the tournament hoping to do well enough to finish third overall.” TCA finished third in conference as a team. The strong end of its season was marked by a noticeable improvement. In late August, the Titans finished eighth in their first league match in

They were third in the second league tournament at Hollydat in Colorado City. “They worked hard and they kept gaining confidence,” Gravelle said. The Class 3A regional was at Hollydat on Sept. 17, but results from that tournament were unavailable at press
time. The regional determined who advanced to the state tournament. The 3A state finals are Sept. 30-Oct. 1 at the Pueblo Country Club. Shin was a state qualifier in 2012. “I am keeping my fingers crossed that they will play up to their ability,” Gravelle said.

thanDsummers@ourcoloradonews.com a lot year, The Lewis-Palmer football team moregot in the winning column last week with a 34-31 come-from-behind overtime victory over Rampart. The nonleague game was played Sept. 13 at Don Breese Stadium. The Rangers trailed 21-7 at halftime, but scored three-second-half touchdowns to tie the score at 28-28 at the end of regulation. Rampart was on offense first in overtime and had to settle for a field goal. The Rangers scored on their first offensive play in the extra frame when Matt Brines ran the sweep to perfection 10 yards for the winning score. Lewis-Palmer (1-3) sophomore quarterback Paul Tillotson engineered the second-half comeback. He scored on a 5-yard run to pull the Rangers within 21-14.

Brines gave the Rangers a 28-21 lead with 3:16 remaining in the fourth when he took a pitch and dashed 34 yards for a touchdown. Tillotson, making his third start after beginning the season as the backup, completed 7 of 21 passes for 101
yards and two interceptions. Tillotson rushed for a team-high 60 yards and scored two touchdowns. Brines rushed for 53 yards on eight carries. The Rangers travel to Elizabeth on Friday. Elizabeth handed Discovery Canyon a 44-21 loss last week.

Palmer Ridge sophomore Clay Hurford had a memorable moment on Sept. 1 when he made good on holein-one at The Broadmoor West course. Hurford accomplished his rare achievement while playing in the Rocky Mountain Junior Golf Tour. It happened on the 142-yard par 3 fifth hole. Hurford used his 9-iron for the classic shot. “I’m hoping that many more come,” Hurford said with a smile. “That would be pretty cool.” Hurford has been one of the most consistent members of the Palmer Ridge golf team this season, usually shooting in the low to mid 80s. His best round was a 79 at Springs Ranch in Colorado Springs. “It’s a really fun environment,” Hurford said. “It’s good to get out and play with everybody.”
