Brew Festival

The seventh annual Heritage Brew Festival took place in Soda Springs Park on Saturday, Sept. 24. Neale Minch, vice president of the Manitou Springs Heritage Center board, said all 820 tickets were sold as of Friday afternoon.

More than 25 breweries gave out samples as three bands entertained the beer lovers, who could also buy food from vendors and their favorite beverages to take home.

Minch said Brew Fest ticket buyers are usually about 10 percent Manitou residents, 40 percent from the Colorado Springs area, 40 percent from the rest of Colorado (mainly the Denver metro area) and 10 percent from out of state.

The event raises funds for the Heritage Center, 517 Manitou Ave. Information: manitousprings heritagecenter.org.

All Aboard band members perform for the last time together.

Soda Springs Park is filled with beer lovers sampling their favorite adult beverages.

GO MUSTANGS!

MANITOU SPRINGS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL • UTE PASS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL • MANITOU SPRINGS MIDDLE SCHOOL • MANITOU SPRINGS HIGH SCHOOL

MSES and UPES Fifth-Grade Camp

Fifth-graders from UPES and MSES spent two days getting to know one another and forging friendships at Camp Shady Brook. They enjoyed games and team-building activities. A chilly, but fun, time was had by all!

UPES Sixth Grade

Mr. David Williams’ music theory class used the SILC rooftop deck to show how rhythms are mathematical. Using sidewalk chalk and the squares, students were able to demonstrate fractions as well as visually see how rhythms can be math! For example: two eighth notes equal a quarter note and two 16th notes equal an eighth note; therefore, four 16th notes equal a quarter note.

International Day of Peace

Sixth-graders in the Mountain Academy of Arts and Sciences at UPES took their first backpacking trip to High Trails in Florissant.

Students practiced the first Leave No Trace Principle by planning ahead and preparing.

They planned (and cooked) their meals. They learned how to properly pack their packs and put up and take down their tents, and researched backpacking to teach their peers. Sixth-graders practiced all LNT principles while out in nature. They learned how to properly dispose of waste, minimize campfire impacts, leaving what they found and respecting wildlife and others on the trails! A big thank you to Sanborn Camp for hosting us!

EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES Please check out our employment opportunities page to become a part of The Herd! Parents, families and community members … we have openings for paraprofessionals and custodial support if you’re looking for another way to be involved in the district. We’d love to hear from you!

Upcoming dates released for free grocery distributions

Care and Share’s free groceries distributions will continue at the Pool & Fitness Center, 202 Manitou Ave. It is a shopping experience, meaning everybody is welcome to receive as much, or as little, of groceries as they want.

Distributions take place noon-1 p.m.

Tuesdays. The next date is Oct. 18, followed by Nov. 1 and 15, and Dec. 6.

Be smart about bears — they’re hunting for food

Bears are about to get very active in Colorado as they search for food before hibernating this winter. At this time, they’re likely to forage for human food, trash and fruit trees in urban areas. Their instinct to eat can overcome any fear of humans.

They can sniff out potential food sources as much as five miles away. Barbeque grills, unsecured trash and pet food can lure them into cities. They have been able to open car doors

In partnership with the Housing Advisory Board, the city’s Planning Department is providing $10,000 in funding toward the Energy Efficiency Rebate Program, which will give rebates to homeowners or residents via their water bills.

The funds can pay for insulation, air sealing, heat pumps, water heaters, high-efficiency toilets and irrigation equipment. This program will continue through the end of 2022, or until the budgeted amount runs out.

Potential applicants must apply for a property improvement permit and have receipts of purchased equipment. Residents can retroactively apply for a rebate, as long as they follow the above rules and the fixture was purchased and installed on or after Jan. 1, 2022.

Information: bit.ly/MSRebates.

Slow the Flow will evaluate sprinkler systems

The city of Manitou Springs has partnered with Resource Central to offer free Slow the Flow sprinkler audits.

During the 75-minute evaluations, trained professionals will inspect your system. They will identify problem areas as well as perform tests to help you create the most efficient schedule for your yard.

The audits show that 99 percent of the sprinkler systems evaluated are inefficient. That not only leads to a higher water bill, but also wastes Manitou’s most precious resource: water.

This program is intended for residential properties only.

Letter to the Editor We need answers from SUFM group

Dear Stand Up for Manitou parents, As you yet again present a list of complaints with zero bias toward action, I fail to understand your end goal. (Editor’s note: See “D14 parents should demand answers from BOE” in the Sept. 22 Bulletin.)

Are you trying to persuade our community to vote for District 14 Board of Education members who will cook up some reason to remove our current D14 administration from office?

If so, please stop hiding behind your perceptions of fear and simply state your aims. What exactly are you bemoaning?

As an MSSD parent, I am much more interested in spending my energy on supporting the teachers who have chosen to stay, not on the ones who have left. The SUFM narrative is tiresome, divisive and lacks stated intent.

Please re-envision yourselves as problem-solvers, not complainers.

our district. Their ideas, concerns, and comments need to be valued. The information gleaned from it should be used to create focused change.

We have asked the D14 Board of Education to act and to be accountable to children, families and taxpayers. Just as teachers and staff are rightly expected to teach with data-driven instruction, the families, children and taxpayers of D14 expect data-driven leadership.

And the data regarding leadership demands the board’s additional exploration.

We expect the BOE to take the necessary next steps to make this happen and to address the exponential

leap in turnover. Our hope is that, collectively as a community, we can take this information and work together in collaboration with the district to solve these problems. Please join us at the Oct. 17 school board meeting to express your concerns.

Together, let’s preserve what matters.

Our children are our collective future and they deserve no less than superb instruction by excellent and committed teachers that, in turn, are supported and celebrated by leadership at all levels. Let’s work to ensure that Manitou remains what it has been historically — a desirable place for teachers to love to work and students to love to learn.

Former staffers’ comments on the survey are extremely heartfelt.

Community foundation’s report to residents, other stakeholders Courtesy of the Manitou Springs Community Foundation On behalf of the board of directors of the Manitou Springs Community Foundation, we would like to provide an update of our activities. After a busy 2020 and 2021 dealing with our COVID Emergency Relief Fund, we’ve been taking it a bit slower while still trying to have a positive impact in our community.

One of our primary areas of impact has been with our community grants.

In 2021 and 2022, the MSCF provided grants to help support the Friday Art Walk, Moonlight Market, Children of Gaia, Manitou Springs Chamber of Commerce summer concerts, Manitou Music Foundation live music initiative, Manitou Springs Creative District Day of Friendship, Manitou Springs Historical Society cemetery fundraiser, Poetry Heals summer theater program, city of Manitou Springs 150th birthday celebration and community potluck, Flying Pig Farm’s learning center yurt and Manitou Springs School District trail project.

With the help of many community supporters/philanthropists, more than $37,000 was provided to support these wonderful projects and programs. We are very grateful to partner with so many dedicated activists who make things happen in our community.

We are also one of the proud sponsors and producers of the Manni

Awards. This year was the 10th anniversary of the Manni Awards, where we recognized 34 finalists and winners.

For the first time since 2020 we were able to celebrate in person with more than 200 Manitou residents and D14 staff and supporters. We provided a live YouTube link so that folks around the world could watch their friends and relatives be recognized by our community.

Our fiscal sponsorship of the

AdAmAn Club has provided a financial platform as members raise funds to celebrate the 100th birthday of the first climb up Pikes Peak to celebrate the new year.

The club is working on transforming a downtown Colorado Springs alley into a multimedia historical display honoring the first intrepid climbers, who braved the elements to climb Pikes Peak and shoot off an iconic fireworks display.

We are very grateful to partner with so many dedicated activists.

If you’re interested in helping with this project, you can find information at www.ManitouSpringsCommunityFoundation.org.

As we move forward, we are focusing some of our efforts on helping to build a stronger and better-connected philanthropic community. In our view, this would involve people interested in networking and collaborating to make a bigger charitable impact than we could likely do on our own.

No doubt, many people regularly provide charitable donations of all sizes. Collaborative philanthropy involves a more intentional, collaborative and perhaps longer-term view of how to best make a positive impact in the areas that are of most concern to a group of people.

We are working closely with the Pikes Peak Community Foundation in piloting various formats where this work can take place.

We believe that there are likely many people in Manitou Springs who would prefer to focus their charitable resources in our community. Our intent is to provide structure and support for this work to flourish.

If you are interested in joining this conversation, please reach out to Ken Jaray, kenjaray@gmail.com.

We are forever grateful for all of the financial and other support that has helped the Manitou Springs Community Foundation make a positive impact in our community.

Surface Gallery

DIGS DEEP into OCC art scene

Story and photo by Larry Ferguson

n recent years, the Westside has steadily enhanced its reputation as an important home to art-related businesses. Late this summer it added another art gallery to its lineup: Surface Gallery.

“We were ready to expand,” said founder Valerie Lloyd, describing the gallery’s move to Old Colorado City from downtown Colorado Springs, where it was known as the Machine Shop.

Surface opened two months ago at 2752 W. Colorado Ave., in the building that formerly housed a military surplus store. In the second half of the 19th century, it served as a general store for miners and gold seekers.

Echo Architect +Interiors purchased the building last year and, after an extensive remodeling effort, it was renamed The Sluice, referring to the method of separating and recovering gold from placer gravel by using running water through long, narrow troughs.

“It was a ton of work,” said Lloyd, whose husband, Ryan, is the founder of Echo Architects +Interiors and a principal owner, along with Scott Schuster and Courtney Wilson.

“The utilities had been turned off for a long time and there were numerous broken pipes and electrical problems.”

The renovated building also houses the Story Coffee Shop and artist/ business offices, along with Echo Architecture offices.

Valerie Lloyd has an art education degree from Colorado State University.

Previously, she taught art at a high school in Washington state and was the managing owner, gallery curator and an artist at the Machine Shop, which

Big win could set tone for remaining football games Story and photo by Daniel Mohrmann The score of the Manitou Springs football team’s 43-32 win over Prospect Ridge Academy is slightly deceptive.

To say the Mustangs were a better team on Sept. 24 is quite the understatement. They were dominant in the first half as Tyler Maloney found the end zone multiple times and put the game well out of reach.

The Miners fought their way back in the second half, but not because the Mustangs (3-1 overall) lost focus, but because coach Stu Jeck emptied the bench to get younger players on the field for some valuable game experience.

The Miners kept battling to close that gap a little tighter than anyone in green and gold would have preferred.

“I learned that you need to get to that 40-point mark before you get those subs in,” Jeck said with a laugh. “It was a new situation for me, but I learned from it and we’ll be better for it.”

Being on the positive side of a blowout win hasn’t been the norm for the Mustangs in a while. In fact, Manitou hasn’t even won three games in a row in a fall season since 2016.

But this is an obvious sign of progress for the program.

The players are clearly confident in the game plan, evidenced in the way Nate Gentzel commands the offense and gets the ball to his

playmakers. Maloney, Evan Scherr and Donovan Ornelas all have a way of making good things happen when the offense is running the way it’s designed to.

“Getting the first touchdown of the game and getting momentum on our side, the energy gets up,” Maloney said. “It helps us keep rolling and feeds that hunger for us to keep scoring touchdowns.”

He scored three rushing touchdowns and a receiving touchdown; Ornelas also had a receiving touchdown.

The Mustangs return home this week for the first time since the season opener against Rye. Woodland Park rolls into town Friday, Sept. 30, to try to spoil Homecoming Week for Manitou.

Although the parade and pep rallies can always provide a distraction, Jeck doesn’t see this team getting away from the routine that has produced a winning formula for the past three weeks.

“These guys have bought into the process,” Jeck said. “My assistant coaches have done a great job instilling what needs to happen week in and week out. We know we have a big challenge ahead of us.”

This week will also be the league opener for the Mustangs, so every game from here on out has much more weight to it. If they can beat the Panthers on Friday, it could set the tone for what they can accomplish the rest of the season.

Soccer team beats out CSCS in second overtime

By Daniel Mohrmann Rivalry games tend to bring out the best in competitors. That held true as the Manitou Springs boys soccer team had to battle to a 3-2 double-overtime win against Colorado Springs Christian School on Sept. 22.

Each team scored a goal in each half to end the 80-minute regulation block in a 2-2 tie. Gavin Kopp and Bowman Hall scored for the Mustangs (5-2-1 overall) before Lukas Merz hit the game-winner in the second overtime period.

The win snaps the Mustangs’ three-game winless streak, which includes losses to Vanguard and Thomas McLaren and a tie with Bayfield.

Manitou scored three goals in that three-game stretch, making the scoring effort against CSCS a much-needed burst of offense for the team.

The Mustangs play a non-league game against Ellicott on Thursday, Sept. 29, before jumping into Tri-Peaks play. Five of the last six games of the year are league games with a non-league contest against Pagosa Springs in between.

The Mustangs have now outscored

their opponents 25-9 on the season and would love to see that dominance hold up. Manitou has just about a month left in the regular season and currently sits at No. 17 in the CHSAA selection and seeding index.

Clifford punches his ticket to state golf tournament

By Daniel Mohrmann If there is any athlete in the Manitou Springs High School building that can handle the mental rigors of qualifying for state golf, it might just be the one who qualified for state golf.

Jack Clifford saw Common Ground Golf Course for the first time on Oct. 21 and shot an 11-over-par 82 to punch his ticket to the Class 3A state tournament at Pinehurst Country Club in Denver. Perhaps the most impressive part of his round is that he was 5-over through four holes and didn’t let himself get discouraged.

“He doesn’t punish himself over bad shots,” coach Ken Vecchio said. “Walking off the No. 1 green he made double-bogey and just said that he’d bounce back from that and that’s exactly what he did.”

Clifford shot 44 on the front nine before making the turn and playing the back in just 3-over. He finished in a tie for 12th.

The state field takes the top two teams from each region along with the 13 top individuals who aren’t on one of those teams. Clifford was safely inside the cutline.

Now he has the task of taking on Pinehurst, another course he has never played, and trying to replicate that effort.

“We’ll go over what to expect up there,” Vecchio said.

“I’ve been to that course before and he’s going to play (in a practice round) on Sunday, so we’ll get a chance to look at the holes and get an idea of where to hit it. But I don’t think it’s always bad to just tee it up and let it go.”

Clifford will compete at the 3A state tournament on Oct. 3 and 4 at Pinehurst Country Club.

Volleyball team smacks down TCA in gritty effort Story and photo by Daniel Mohrmann The wave of school spirit that sweeps through the Manitou Springs high school hallways found its way into the gym for the volleyball team’s non-league showdown with The Classical Academy on Sept. 26.

The Mustangs needed just four sets to down the Class 4A Titans, getting a 25-22, 28-30, 25-21, 25-19 win in front of a passionate, school spirit-driven crowd. It was perhaps the grittiest win the Mustangs (8-6 overall, 2-2 Tri-Peaks) have gotten all year.

“I feel like it was a great win,” Norah Jorstad said. “Our coach isn’t one to have us falling on the floor ... getting to our spots and digging some balls ... (it) feels good that we can stay on our feet to do that.”

The win over TCA followed up a road win from last week against Ellicott. Teryn Thime and Grace Allen each had eight kills in that match, but overall the Mustangs appear to be playing a cleaner version of volleyball than they were when the season started.

“We’ve stressed a lot about

defense in both the front row and the back row,” coach Crissy Leonhardt said. “Rather than being a spectator, they need to be focused and (mentally) in the game and I think stressing that has helped us.”

The Mustangs will see only Tri-Peaks opponents until the final regular season match against University on Oct. 27. The TCA win

was a huge boost for the Mustangs, much the same way the win over Doherty was earlier in the year.

“It feels great to beat a 4A team,” Jorstad said. “It’s always good to beat someone when you’re the underdog (in terms of size).”

Manitou travels to Salida on Thursday, Sept. 29, and will host Vanguard on Oct. 4.

By Jack Elder

City Finance Director Mike Leslie reported to City Council at Tuesday’s work session that there was approximately $32,000 available for implementing changes in the zoning code and related public processes for 2005.

The recommendations submitted by consultant HB&A were itemized and came with the cost of each item included. HB&A will be contracted to perform the work of revising the code and establishing revised processes so the recommendations also served as a de facto bid on each item even though the firm’s involvement to date eliminates the requirement for a new bidding process.

The 12 items on the HB&A list total nearly $91,000.

HB&A also indicated several, mostly procedural changes, that can contribute to a more efficient and less contentious process that can be implemented in-house at no cost.

Operating within the $32,000 available this year, council identified the creation of approval criteria for each zoning category, including downtown, projected to cost $20,000; revising and updating the public process, projected to cost $9,100; reevaluating the setback requirements in the general residential zone, which consumes as much as one-third of planning staff’s time, projected to cost $5,000 and adopting and implementing the National Fire Prevention Association’s standard 299 at a projected cost of $3,600.

The NFPA standard would provide clear-cut guidelines, especially for construction on upslopes, where none exist now and thereby eliminate considerable negotiation,

E D I TO R

reports, hearings and general misunderstanding and arguments.

Representatives of HB&A, City Council and members of city staff will now meet to finalize costs.

At press time, it was not anticipated that further formalize action would be necessary to start the zoning and planning revision process as outlined Tuesday.

Following Monday’s open house with finalists for the City Administrator position and a closed executive session Tuesday to review the candidates and the interview process that took place Monday, City Council appears to be embarking on final discussions with one or more candidates. Details from council executive sessions are, by law, not made public The four finalists are Elizabeth Black, District Manager for the Copper Mountain Consolidated Metropolitan District in Colorado; David Blanchard, City Manager of Blackhawk, Colo., from 2000 to 2003; Catherine Green, Director of Planning for the City of Pueblo from 1992 to 2004; and, Rick Sonnenburg, Town Manager of Monument.

Bentley Henderson, Assistant Town Manager of Carbondale, Colo., withdrew from the process Friday The candidates were interviewed Monday by a panel of Colorado city managers and by City Council. The four then met with members of the public and with members of city staff.

No public timetable has been set for the final hiring.

Happy Cats Haven – Pet of the Week Hello, I’m Picasso, a sophisticated fellow with striking white fur and marigold-colored eyes. I was brought to Happy Cats when I was found trying to survive by myself outside. I have learned to really enjoy the carefree calm of indoor life, so I’m looking to find a furever home where I’ll feel safe and warm!

I’ll do best in a quiet home, and I may do all right with other feline-friendly — and mellow — cats, dogs or older kids. I’m about 8 years old and you can adopt me for $80, which includes my neuter, vaccinations, microchip, food and litter starter kit, and a free well-kitty checkup. Are you ready to meet?

Happy Cats Haven: 719-362-4600, 327 Manitou Ave. Adoptions by appointment only until further notice. www.HappyCatsHaven.org, www.Facebook.com/HappyCatsHaven.

Humane Society – Pet of the Week I’m Yavin, a 6-year-old domestic longhair cat looking for a new home.

HSPPR staffers call me a social butterfly because I’ll meow, rub against your leg and ask to be petted as soon as you walk in the door. I’m currently hanging out in one of HSPPR’s cat colony rooms, where I spend my day interacting with people and other cats. I’m very vocal and will even let out some soft purrs to let you know that I like the way you’re scratching me behind my ears. My adoption is $100, and I come with a voucher for a veterinary exam, vaccinations, 30 days of pet health insurance and a microchip, and I am already neutered. Just ask for Yavin (1602346).
