Radium level in town well violated state standards

Bistro on 2nd to replace former Wisdom Tea House By Bill Vogrin

The old Wisdom Tea House, a longtime fixture in historic downtown Monument, didn’t stay vacant for long. The Bistro on 2nd, serving dishes like bacon wrapped bison sliders, chicken piccata over mashed potatoes, sweet potato ravioli and fruity salmon salad, will open Sept. 19 for lunch. It will start dinner service at a later date. The news was announced as the owners requested a liquor license from the town of Monument for the bistro. According to the license application, the bistro owners are Stephen Garard of Black Forest, and Jay Burgan and Rick Velliquette, both of Colorado Springs. Velliquette, who is known for his work at Little Nepal Indian Restaurant & Bar and at Joseph’s Fine Dining in Colorado Springs, will be the

Radium levels exceeded state allowable levels in one of Monument’s nine wells, its source for drinking water for 1,100 customers west of Interstate 25, the town announced recently on its website. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment cited the town Aug. 2 for a violation of the maximum contaminant level allowed for radium 226/228. Radium is a product of the natural radioactive decay of uranium in rock, soil and water. According to radium fact sheet from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, groundwater can contain high levels of radium, depending on local geology. Deep bedrock aquifers used for drinking water sometimes contain levels of Ra-226 and Ra-228 that exceed health-based regulatory standards, as occurred in Monument. Radium in water may pose a hazard to human health when the water is used for drinking or cooking. A small portion of ingested radium can be absorbed from the digestive tract and distributed throughout the body. Most is passed unchanged from the body. Absorbed radium is deposited in the tissues of the body, especially bone. Internally deposited radium

Wind turbine waits on hillside to be brought to life By Bill Vogrin

It looks much like a kinetic wind sculpture made popular by the late artist Starr Kempf, who filled the yard of his Cheyenne Canyon home with the towering, moving whimsical stainless steel designs. But this tall, steel tower with five vertical blades is no sculpture. It’s a wind turbine that has been waiting for decades to be brought to life and generate electricity as it was designed to produce. The turbine has been standing on a hillside in the Pine Hills neighborhood west of Monument about 30 years. Recently, people visiting the developing Forest Lakes subdivision just south noticed the 50-foot-tall tower and wondered about it. Steve Mabon, who lives in the home next door on Spaatz Road, had all the answers for the curious. The turbine was the creation of his father, Irl Mabon, who retired from the Air Force in 1972 after a career as an electrical engineer, and mechanical engineer Randy Wolf. Irl worked on Minuteman program in Southern California and bought the land where the turbine, and the house, stand in 1958 as the Air Force Academy was being built. After bouncing around as a recreational vehicle salesman, Irl built the house in 1978 and the family settled down here. Ever the entrepreneur, Irl started a business rent-

ing typewriters (remember them?) to universities. And he tinkered with projects like the turbine. Around 1984, hooked up with Wolf, who had erected a wind turbine east of Interstate 25 next to the old Monument exit. Irl and Wolf decided to erect a wind turbine on the hillside next to the Mabon home. “It’s called a vertical axis wind turbine,” Steve Mabon said. “We always called it the egg beater.” The men worked for years perfecting the turbine, testing it by attaching a motor to rotate the huge blades. “Dad did most of the physical labor,” Mabon said. “Randy was engineer, the brains behind it.” The men weren’t just building for fun. They planned to take the concept of wind turbines, three times taller than the one on the hill, to the Dominican Republic in hopes of selling the concept. The project was especially important for Wolf, who was working with Mariah Energy, of Ellsworth, Kan. Mariah was trying to market and sell vertical axis wind turbines worldwide. Steve Mabon said his father even worked with Mountain View Electricity and had an agreement to sell the power the turbine generated to the utility. “We had to get an insurance policy for liability,” Mabon said. “They said they would buy electricity at their receiving rate.”

Medicare Workshop – Friday, Sept. 16

Third annual Creek Week a chance to get involved By Bill Vogrin

Do you like clean water? Of course. So maybe you’d like to join folks in seven other communities and three counties cleaning up tons of trash from our area watershed. Again this year, Monument is participating in Creek Week, joining cities and unincorporated communities up and down the Fountain Creek watershed in removing debris over nine days from Sept. 24-Oct. 2. Madeline VanDenHoek, who handles community relations for Monument, said the town will host the event 8:30-11:30 a.m., Sept. 24. “It’s a good opportunity to be part of our efforts to keep the creek clean,” she said, noting that groups can organize and participate together. Businesses, churches, schools, nonprofits, neighborhood associations, and individuals are encouraged to form a “Creek Crew,” register, pick a location, and pick up trash. VanDenHoek said it’s important everyone registers because the more documented participants translates into more grant money for future efforts. Last year, dozens came out and collected plastic bags, cigarette butts, foam cups and plenty of other trash along Monument Creek. Up and down the Fountain Creek

watershed, which covers 927 square miles from Palmer Divide and Woodland Park to the Arkansas River, hundreds of volunteers picked up nearly 10 tons of litter and debris during last year’s event, said Larry Small, executive director of the Fountain Creek Watershed, Flood Control and Greenway District. Participating cities include Monument, Palmer Lake, Woodland Park, Green Mountain Falls, Manitou Springs, Colorado Springs, Fountain and Pueblo. Small told the Monument Board of Trustees last week the event “teaches kids the importance of taking care of our environment.” This year, organizers hope to attract 2,000 volunteers and remove 12 tons of litter during Creek Week. Online registration for groups and individuals is underway at www.fountaincreekweek.com. Volunteer information and instruction packets will be sent along with a confirmation. Sponsors provide the volunteers bags, gloves, buckets and coupons. Youth groups, ages 8-17, can participate with one supervising adult for every six kids. Parents must accompany young children 7 years and under. For financial sponsorship and event questions in any of the communities, please contact the committee at creek weeksoco@gmail.com.

Yellowing pine needles normal in autumn For The Tribune

Every year, thousands of evergreen trees throughout the southern Front Range display dying yellow or brown needles. But don’t panic. Most are simply going through a natural shedding process and are not infested by bark beetles or tree disease. “Fall needle cast is usually brought on by seasonal changes and weather events,” said Michael Till, forester with the Colorado State Forest Service Woodland Park District. “This event started to occur earlier this year, but

still within the normal variation of what we expected to see. We commonly see conifers shed their needles in September and October.” Each autumn, many Colorado evergreen tree species shed some of their older, interior needles as part of an annual growth cycle. Needles on the lower portion of the crowns or closest to the trunk are most commonly shed. Trees stressed due to drought or root damage may shed more needles to keep the tree in balance with its root system. Soon-to-be shed needles typically turn yellow first, then a reddish or

In the Forest Service’s Woodland Park District, which includes El Paso, Teller and Park counties, conifer species that commonly shed needles in the fall include ponderosa pine, Douglasfir and Colorado blue spruce. Evergreen trees that shed fall needles have a different appearance than trees infested by bark beetles. The needles on a beetle-infested tree typically change color throughout the entire tree, initially starting with an off

Tribune sale to Gazette is good news for future of paper Based on the way my phone, Facebook feed and email blew up last week, the news we had sold The TriLakes Tribune to The Gazette’s parent company, Clarity Media, caught many by surprise. Frankly, it surprised my partners and me, too. We didn’t enter this venture 14 months ago with a plan to flip it. Our plan was to work hard and make The Tribune the best weekly paper in Colorado. But we all know how quickly things change in life. And change isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Indeed, I want to assure all of you who have reached out to me that this is really a good thing for the future of the paper. First, let me thank everyone for all the kind words you offered last week about our work at The Tribune. Your outpouring of support was flattering and it makes all the hard work over the past year worthwhile.

PIKES PEAK BILL Bill Vogrin

billvogrin@yourpeaknews.com

Our goal always was to better connect Tri-Lakes area readers with the world around them. We wanted to tell the extraordinary stories of the ordinary people living here and enrich the lives of readers with news and information they couldn’t get anywhere else. Based on the feedback last week, we were on our way to accomplishing our goal. That is gratifying to know. As for the future, it looks brighter than ever. Gazette publisher Dan Steever is building a group of community-based weekly papers because he

recognizes the value of intensely local newspapers. Steever said he was “extremely proud” to add the Tribune to the Gazette’s family of papers. “Localized news, down to the neighborhood and school district level, is in demand now more than ever,” Steever said. “While national and international news sources are plentiful, high-quality and reliable news from individual neighborhoods is scarce and we are happy to be making another investment to help residents.” Already the investment has begun. The best news is that The Gazette hired my entire team, ensuring continuity in the coverage and business relationships we had built. And the staff is getting new computers (desperately needed computers, I might add) along with software upgrades and improvements in our distribution system.

Of course, the new owners will undoubtedly tweak things. You’ll recall I redesigned the paper and added a calendar of key events and new voices in columnists like art expert Nancy Bonig, senior issue reporter Dave Betzler and Nepal correspondent Jay Heinlein. And there were things I still wanted to try, changes I hoped to make. I’ll be interested to see the improvements the new owners make in coming months. That’s the joy in owning a business. You get to succeed, or fail, on your own. I found when we succeeded, a lot of people on my team deserved credit. My failures were typically my own doing. Anyway, thanks again for all your attaboys and other kind words of encouragement. I appreciate how warmly you welcomed me into your community. Now, where are the “help wanted” ads?

Need a hero to cheer for in Paralympics? Consider Jen Armbruster Maybe you are a newcomer to the Paralympic Games and are looking for an athlete you might like to cheer for. I nominate Jen Armbruster, who is in Rio de Janeiro along her five teammates on the U.S. Women’s Goalball team. After four years of dedicated training, they are well prepared to take on the world, as are the other 287 athletes on Team USA. But Armbruster is extraspecial, in my mind. She is a seven-time Paralympian. She is decorated with a gold medal from the 2008 Paralympics in Beijing, a silver from Athens in 2004, and a bronze from Atlanta in 1996. Her goal, formed with a razor-sharp focus, is to bring home another gold medal in this, her last Paralympics. Armbruster competes in goalball. Never heard of it? Goalball is a fastpaced sport played three-againstthree, indoors on a gym floor by blind and visually impaired athletes. The objective of goalball is to roll or throw a ball about the size of basketball with bells in it past your opponents and into a goal. Goalball

GUEST COLUMNIST Mark Lucas

is one of the 22 summer sports on the Paralympic program and Armbruster has been an American mainstay for more than 20 years. Why root for Armbruster? If you’ve lived in the Pike Peak region long enough, you might remember her. In 1989, at 17 years old, she was the star point guard on the Falcon High School basketball team. Then Armbruster started having eye pain and lost vision in her right eye. Three months later, the same thing happened in her left eye, leaving her nearly blind. At the time, she was still playing competitive basketball, and someone called her up to play goalball. Her parents took her to the gym at the Colorado School for the Deaf and the Blind for her first

goalball game. She has been hooked ever since. As the captain of the 2008 U.S. Women’s Goalball Team, Armbruster was selected from the entire Team USA delegation to be the flag bearer for the American athletes during the Beijing Paralympics Opening Ceremony and Parade of Nations. In Beijing, her team went on to beat home team China in a hard-fought victory for the gold medal. Armbruster was selected by the U.S. Olympic Committee to honor our country and present team jackets to President George W. Bush and First Lady Laura Bush with the entire 2008 U.S. Summer Olympic and Paralympic teams at the White House. During the 2012 London Paralympic Games, facing the opportunity to move on to the quarterfinal, Armbruster’s Team USA was eliminated in a heartbreaking 1-0 loss as rival Canada scored with 1.2 seconds left in the game. Now, at 41, Armbruster is leading a hungry and determined Team USA in Rio with the goal of reaching the top of the medal stand.

Regardless of the outcome for the U.S. Women’s Goalball Team, Armbruster expects to retire from competition after the closing ceremony on Sept. 19. But she’s not about to walk away from the sport she loves. Armbruster plans to teach blind and visually impaired student athletes how to play the great game of goalball, mentoring them to be the best they can be, both on and off the court. Is she a hero worth cheering in the Paralympic Games? I think so. And I’m not the only one who has noticed her amazing talents, work and contributions to her sport. Armbruster, who now lives in Portland, Ore., and works for Portland State University’s recreation division, was inducted into the Colorado Springs Sports Hall of Fame, the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame and the Colorado Women’s Sports Hall of Fame. Please check her out and decide for yourself. Mark Lucas lives in Woodland Park and is executive director of U.S. Association of Blind Athletes. You can contact him at mlucas@usaba.org

Town within a town not limited by imagination “It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination.” __ Script opener from “The Twilight Zone.” In Monument, it is an area known as Maguireville, and in an instant, the town within a town can transport you to the storied West, or to a high-tech sawmill with a philanthropic mission. Thursday, last week, Jim Maguire and his cronies had the sawmill running, the oxen teams pulling, the stories flying —all in the shadow of the windmill and in the reflection of the lake. This time, he plans to build a jail house in the mythical burg near the intersection of State Highway 105 and Knollwood Blvd., with the slab lumber cut from salvaged trees of the Black Forest fire. In October of 2013, Bob Olson, who lived in the Black Forest area himself, first set up his modern answer on Jim Maguire’s property on State Highway 105 in Monument, in the form of his WoodMizer portable sawmill. The mill looks something like a big bandsaw and automates some of the complicated setup with its high-tech operation. Logs from a house lot down on Old Ranch Road, areas in the burn area, and locations in Woodmoor, as well other areas, all contributed to this week’s cut and mill process. The Maguire property milling operation was abuzz all week. For his part, Jim Maguire with

help from his many friends, built a a stage stop log cabin 18 feet by 16 feet, dedicated to recalling the losses suffered by some in the Black Forest Fire. Some salvageable, but slightly burned logs, originated in the burn area and 44 timbers, seven inches by 10 inches, were milled for the structure. “This place is part of an old homestead,” said Maguire at the time. “And a stage at one time was the only way of getting here before the rails.” Since that time, the little town has added, at least, a covered bridge, a mine (complete with shaft, ore cart and tailings dump), a teepee, and multiple antique items of interest in the vast barns, equipment, horse-drawn hearse, rail cars and outbuildings. Of course, the Oxen were involved as well. Jim Maguire offers up one of his trademark introductions: “We are twins,” Maguire says, arm around Rollie Johnson. “I’m the old, ugly one. He’s the rich handsome one.” Rollie and Paula Johnson, with the help of their hired hand of at least a decade, Dulces Granados, have been doing just that, since 2006 at Three Eagles Ranch, just over the Douglas County line near Monument. The ranch is one of the few western

Exercising your brain important to long-term health They say that memory loss is the second thing to happen as you get older. So what’s the first? Umm, I forgot! A study of more than 7,000 civil servants, ages 45 to 70, contends that the brain begins to lose its sharpness of memory and powers of reasoning and understanding not at age 60, as previously thought, but as early as age 45. So if you’re tired of forgetting where you put your car keys, or frustrated by walking downstairs into the garage and forgetting what you came for, read on. The September issue of the Harvard Health Letter offers an article titled “A Workout for your Brain” with the subtitle “Can an exercise routine really help keep your mental muscles in good shape?” According to the experts at Harvard Medical School, fear of losing your memory and thinking skills is one of the greatest concerns of getting older. The result is a rapidly growing number of clinics offering “Brain Training.” A Google search of such clinics in

FIT AND HEALTHY Cord Prettyman cordprettyman@msn.com

Colorado Springs resulted in no shortage of hospitals and clinics offering just such services. “Brain Training” isn’t a typical exercise program. Rather, it incorporates a number of activities and lifestyle changes to help boost brain function. “It makes very good sense to promote cognitive health using a variety of approaches,” says Dr. Kirk Daffner, a neurologist and medical editor of the Harvard Special Health Report “Improving Memory.” A typical brain fitness program incorporates physical exercise, cognitive training, nutrition, improved sleep and

meditation. Physical exercise increases activity in parts of the brain that have to do with executive function and memory. It also stimulates the growth of new brain cells. The problem is most don’t exercise hard enough to realize the benefits. You have to push yourself, which mandates being cleared by your doctor for vigorous exercise. Cognitive training is comprised of exercises for your thinking skills that use a computer or video games. In researching this column, I went on www.lumosity.com, whose homepage boasts: “Enjoy brain training created by scientists and game designers.” Give it a try. It’s a hoot. Next, schedule a consultation with a dietician to get you on a Mediterranean diet featuring whole grains, fruits and vegetables and healthy fats from fish, nuts and oils. There’s a fair amount of research linking this diet to brain health. Better sleep is a must. Poor sleep

patterns can undermine cognition. The typical Brain Fitness program checks for underlying causes of sleep loss, such as sleep apnea, medication side effects or an overactive bladder. Finally, meditation or exercises like tai chi appear to increase one’s cognitive reserve, which speaks to one’s ability to switch between different tasks and allocate resources. It also helps handle unexpected stressors improving one’s ability to cope with day-today life. Both hospitals and private practices offer brain fitness programs. Look for a program that has been at it for a long time and offers a multidisciplinary approach incorporating a neurologist, psychologist, social worker, physical therapist and dietician.

WHY IT MATTERS: Issues at stake in election WASHINGTON (AP) _ A selection of issues at stake in the presidential election and their impact on Americans, in brief: IMMIGRATION The future of millions of people living in the U.S. illegally could well be shaped by the presidential election. The stakes are high, too, for those who employ them, help them fit into neighborhoods, or want them gone. Republican Donald Trump at first pledged to deport the estimated 11 million immigrants in the country illegally. Not only that, he’d build a wall all along the Mexican border. But his position has evolved. He’s sticking to his vow to build the wall and make Mexico pay. But he’s no longer proposing to deport people who have not committed crimes beyond their immigration offences. Still, he’s not proposing a way for people living in the country illegally to gain legal status. Democrat Hillary Clinton, in contrast, would overhaul immigration laws to include a path to citizenship, not just legal status. Illegal immigration has been at nearly 40-year lows for several years. It even appears that Mexican migration trends have reversed, with more Mexicans leaving the U.S. than arriving. Billions of dollars have been spent in recent years to build fencing, improve border technology and expand the Border Patrol. Nonetheless the Mexican border remains a focal point for those who argue that the country is not secure. EDUCATION Education is a core issue not just for students and families, but for communities, the economy, and the nation as a global competitor. The country has some 50 million K-12 students. Teaching them, preparing them for college and careers, costs taxpayers more than $580 billion a year, or about $11,670 per pupil per year. A better education usually translates into higher earnings. And while high school graduations are up sharply and dropout rates down, the nation has a ways to go to match the educational outcomes elsewhere. American schoolchildren trail their counterparts in Japan, Korea, Germany, France and more. For students seeking higher education, they face rising college costs and many are saddled with debt. Hillary Clinton has proposed free tuition at in-state public colleges and universities for working families

with incomes up to $125,000 _ free for families, that is, not for taxpayers. Donald Trump has railed against the Common Core academic standards in most states, and vowed to give students more choice and charter schools. STUDENT DEBT More Americans are getting buried by student debt _ causing delays in home ownership, limiting how much people can save and leaving taxpayers at risk as many loans go unpaid. Student debt now totals around $1.26 trillion. This amounts to a stunning 350 percent increase since 2005, according to the New York Federal Reserve. More than 60 percent of the class of 2014 graduated with debt that averaged nearly $27,000, according to the College Board. Not all that taxpayer-backed debt is getting repaid. Out of the 43 million Americans with student debt, roughly 16 percent are in long-term default _ a potential hit in excess of $100 billion that taxpayers would absorb. Democrat Hillary Clinton proposes no tuition for students from families making less than $85,000 who go to an in-state, public college. Republican Donald Trump has promised a ``great’’ student debt plan, details to come. CLIMATE CHANGE It’s as if Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton live on two entirely different Earths: one warming, one not. Clinton says climate change threatens us all, while Trump repeatedly tweets that global warming is a hoax.Measurements and scientists say Clinton’s Earth is much closer to the warming reality. And it is worsening. The world is on pace for the hottest year on record, breaking marks set in 2015, 2014, and 2010. It is about 1.8 degrees warmer than a century ago. But it’s more than temperatures.á Scientists have connected man-made climate change to deadly heat waves, droughts and flood-inducing downpours. Studies say climate change is raising sea levels, melting ice and killing coral. It’s making people sicker with asthma and allergies and may eventually shrink our bank accounts. The American Association for the Advancement of Sciences says warming can be highly damaging to people and the planet and potentially irreversible. ROLE OF GOVERNMENT It’s the Goldilocks conundrum of American poli-

tics: Is the government too big, too small or just right? Every four years, the presidential election offers a referendum on whether Washington should do more or less. Donald Trump favors cutting regulation and has promised massive tax cuts, but his plans are expected to add trillions to the national debt. Unlike most conservatives, he supports eminent domain and has spoken positively about government-run health care. And don’t forget that massive border wall. Hillary Clinton has vowed new spending on education and infrastructure that could grow government, too. She strongly supports ``Obamacare,’’ which most small government proponents see as overreach. At its heart, the debate about government’s reach pits the desire to know your basic needs will be cared for against the desire to be left alone. For the last few decades, polls have found Americans generally feel frustrated by the federal government and think it’s wasteful. A smaller government sounds good to a lot of people until they’re asked what specific services or benefits they are willing to do without. NORTH KOREA Pariah state North Korea could soon be capable of targeting America with nuclear weapons. What can the U.S. do to stop it? Diplomacy and economic sanctions have not worked so far. North Korea’s isolation is deepening, but it has continued to conduct nuclear test explosions and make advances in its missile technology. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump says the U.S. can put more pressure on China to rein in its North Korean ally. He says he is willing to meet the North Korean leader, Kim Jong Un. Democrat Hillary Clinton wants the world to intensify sanctions as the Obama administration did with Iran, a course that eventually opened the way for a deal to contain its nuclear program. But it will be tough to force North Korea back to negotiations that aim at its disarmament in exchange for aid. Kim views atomic weapons as a security guarantee for his oppressive regime Associated Press writers Alicia A. Caldwell, Jennifer C. Kerr, Josh Boak, Seth Borenstein, Josh Lederman, Andrew Taylor, Kathleen Ronayne, Paul Wiseman, Mark Sherman, Matthew Pennington, Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar, Robert Burns and Hope Yen contributed to this report.

The couple spent eight years serving tea and sandwiches in the popular café. They cited personal reasons for the closure and they had hoped to sell the business and building. “We’re hoping somebody will take this over,” Diane Wisdom said at the time. When the building and business didn’t sell intact, they recently held an auction of the furniture and equipment. Terri Hayes, president of the Tri-Lakes Chamber of Commerce, called the Bistro opening great news because the closing of the tea house left a hole in historic downtown Monument. “It absolutely is important to fill that space,” Hayes said. “Local businesses definitely felt the decrease in traffic when Wisdom Tea House closed. We’re very excited the Bistro is coming in. And we’re especially happy they will be offering lunch. That gives every-

body another option to eat in downtown Monument.” Hayes said she’s impressed by the menu planned at the Bistro, which will include crab cakes and spicy tuna roll wrapped in avocado among other offerings. Plans call for the Bistro to be open Sept. 15 for the final Art Hop of the season and then to open for lunch begi ning Sept. 19. “This gives people another opportunity to spend a whole day shopping and eating in Monument,” Hayes said. “Some of the items that will be on the menu are amazing.” Cara Hoyer Vanderkolk, manager at Hangers to Hutches thrift store and president of the Historic Monument Merchants Association, said the downtown group was excited to see the space filled. “We’re thrilled,” Vanderkolk said, hinting that more news is coming. “We’ve got a couple new restaurants coming into downtown. This is good news.”

ranches that raise American Milking Devon Oxen. Rollie Johnson, CEO for a group of more than 50 radio stations all over the country, showed his prowess at hooking log chokers Thursday in Monument, as Davy and Dandy, and Grant and Garfield, skidded logs across the field. The teams weigh in at about 2,000 pounds each. Next month, the Johnsons are taking two teams to Bernalillo, New Mexico, for three days filming in Netflix-produced 1800s western. Written, directed and executive produced by Scott Frank, Godless is a Western set in an 1800s New Mexico mining town. The project, which is currently casting, is set to film in Santa Fe and other locations nearby New Mexico. The Johnson’s oxen will provide historic context. The breed is now extinct in England and were down to just a handful in the United States until about 30 years ago. Efforts by the American Livestock Breed Conservancy and others have been able to increase the American herd to about 600 animals,

mostly in New England states. “Three Eagles Ranch began its herd in 2006 when it purchased a cow from Missouri. A bull, nicknamed Jesse James, was purchased from Washington’s Birthplace Farm near Williamsburg. The first trained oxen team — Clark and Coolidge — was sold to Bent’s Old Fort at La Junta along the Santa Fe Trail and can be viewed at historical presentations at that site. Today’s second trained team from Three Eagles — Calvin and Chester — were born in 2008 and are still growing and live the Plains Conservation Center in Aurora, Colo. A third pair, Ike and Earl, went to Arizona to be used in an experiment to prepare equipment that can be easily replicated in rural Africa. In the meantime, the sawmill at Maguireville hums and screeches. Oxen drag logs, the old-fashioned way down the road. Buildings from at least a century past spring up from the ashes like a phoenix. The town within a town draws from its owner and friends — an unlimited imagination.

Hopfest features three top awards, 17 breweries, and 6 homebrewers By Rob Carrigan

Director Teri Hayes.

This year, Bines and Brews Hopfest will once again feature 17 different local breweries, as well as others who have conjured local spirits, and will meet at Limbach Park on Sept. 17, in the annual fresh hop beer competition for Twisted Bine’s “Top Hop” Award traveling trophy. This time, in the fundraiser for the Silver Alliance and the Tri-Lakes Chamber, actually three competitions will be going on. The judges will choose professional, and for the firsttime ever, six home brewers compete for the “Hop Mess Monster Trophy” home brew. To qualify for entry, they were required at least eight hour laboring in the hop field, and receive a ticket and a pound of hops. Thier beers are not available for the public, but certified judges will determine the winner among them. A People’s Choice award will also be selected. The event is 1-5 p.m., Sat. Sept. 17 at Limbach Park, Front and Second streets, Monument. Cost is $30 per person regular admission and $10 per person Designated Driver Admission. “We are definitely a different kind of beer fest. Instead of a 1000 attendees looking to drink as much as they can in a few hours, we have an audience of true beer aficionados. Attendees will get a chance to meet many of the brew masters themselves. It is just a nice afternoon of enjoying local beers, listening to good music and having fun with friends,” says Chamber Executive

Commercial brewers competing this time follow: Fieldhouse Brewing Company Fossil Brewing Company Nano 108 Brewing Company Triple S Brewing Co Peaks N Pines Brewing Co Storybook Brewing Co Strange Brewing Company Black Sky Brewing Company 38 State Brewing Company Ute Pass Brewing Company Whistle Pig Brewing Company Hall Brewing Company Cogstone Brewing Company Pikes Peak Brewing Company Red Leg Brewing Company Cerberus Brewing Company Lone Tree Brewing Co. Along with guest pourers: 3 Hundred Days of Shine, The Ice Cave Cider House “I’ve talked to several of the breweries and they are all saying that they expect to win the trophy this year,” says Rick Squires. Four qualified beer judges will determine that, however. Storybook Brewery is in possession of the coveted trophy from last year, but with the number of new breweries in a field of 17 in the running, anything can happen. Funds raised will support Silver Alliance and Tri-Lakes Chamber of Commerce. Rick Squires is responsible for starting the Hops and Bines event and provides the hops for the event from

Final Art Hop to feature author, artists and band By Bill Vogrin

A sneak peek at the new restaurant opening soon in downtown Monument highlights the schedule for the final Art Hop of the 2016 summer season, scheduled Sept. 15 in Monument. Visitors that evening for the monthly celebration of downtown art studios, stores and restaurants will get to look at the Bistro on 2nd in the former Wisdom Tea House at 65 2nd St. The new owners are expected to offer taste-testing prior to the opening of lunch service Sept. 19. Dinner service will start at a later date. Other Art Hop highlights include beer aficionado Ed Sealover, who will visit from Denver to chat about suds and to sign his new book, Colorado Excursions with History, Hikes and Hops. Catch Sealover at the Covered Treasures bookstore at the corner of Second & Washington streets. Artist Andrew Clark, a talented woodcarver and rustic artist, will create woodland creatures from logs during a demonstration at Purple Mountain Jewelry. See Clark in action at 47 Third St., Unit C. Folks dropping by the Posh Pineapple, 251 Front St., Suite 9, will get to see Monica Beltran and her glass art bottles and hummingbird feeders. Beltran creates hand-painted recycled glass pieces. Meet local photographer Jacqui Hatfield and view her images of Mount Herman, taken through the

seasons from a trail-runner’s perspective. Hatfield will be the featured guest at Santa Fe Trail Jewelry, 106 Second St. Music and dancing will be the main attraction at Bella Casa, 155 Second Street, with the third annual performance of the band Loose Connection on the patio. The sponsoring Historic Monument Merchants Association hopes to avoid some of the early evening thunderstorms that slowed a couple of the Art Hop events this summer. “Because of the weather, one of our Art Hops started out bad,” said HMMA president Cara Hoyer Vanderkolk, manager of Hangers to Hutches, the thrift shop that benefits Tri-Lakes Cares food bank. “We had a lot of late afternoon showers this summer,” she said. “But once we got past the 5 o’clock hour, everything seems to clear up and the rest of the evening went much better.” Vanderkolk said the monthly Art Hops helped rebuild traffic in downtown Monument in the absence of the Wisdom Tea House, which closed in January. Its absence left a hole in downtown and many shop owners say it’s loss contributed to a noticeable decline in business this summer. “Art Hop has done about as well as in any of the recent years,” Vanderkolk said. “But we may see some changes in future Art Hop events. We may try to revamp how we get people into the stores.”

Hops Continued from Page 8

his quarter-acre yard in Monument. “The Twisted Bine” might produce as much as 500 pounds of organic hops on that quarter acre, but this year Rick said he was only able to produce about 100 pounds - a very light harvest as compared to produced in his top crops. “I lost probably 70 or 80 percent of my crop to hail right after the Fourth of July,” said Squires. Not to worry, however, as Squires always has a Plan B. “Marigold Valley Hops from Cripple Creek bailed me out this year,” he said. The first-year hop grower came through with Cascade, Chinook and Crystal Hops.” “With the trend to go local, and the difficulty of getting organic hops, that is precisely why I got interested,” said Squires several years ago about some of his first crops in the hop yard. Squires could of probably easily sold 500 pounds, if the weather cooperated. Hops are called “wet” hops if it finds its way into beer within 24 hours, and “fresh” hops if it makes that same leap within seven days.

And that is when the hops are most potent, aromatic and flavorful. Many breweries end up using dried hops or frozen hops in their processes, but with the move to everything local, local, local, a market exists for all the certified organic “wet” Cascade Hops. As an engineer, (he was a former project manager for G.E. Johnson when it built the World Arena) Squires said the organic growing appealed to his sense of record keeping. “I even had to identify what the Alpaca’s were eating before creating the Alpaca fertilizer I was using,” according to Squires. The whole yard, of course, is designed with sustainability in mind. The eighteen-foot poles that support the paper ropes that the hops climb (during peak growing periods, they can grow as much as a foot per day) is made from recycled fire sprinkler systems (mostly from local buildings) and he even uses a solar pump to bring water from his pond to the bines.

Three top awards will honor local breweries and this year, homebrewers for the first time, for the best end result with “wet hops.”

But the turbine never got beyond the experimental stage to achieve operating status. “They had several issues,” he said. “They worked with ball bearings to get a smooth glide. Then there was the clutching system, which was key to make sure it didn’t spin too fast, make electricity too quickly and cause a power surge. “The third major issue was to make

it quiet as possible. It was loud when it started spinning and Randy was working on making it quieter.” An electronic noise-dampening system was going to fix the problem, Mabon said. “It was all pretty heady stuff,” he said. “Randy and Dad designed everything and had it all custommade.” But Irl died in 1996 before the electrical transformers and batteries and op-

erating system were installed. “They did get it working,” Steve Mabon said. “They videotaped it. “They had it spinning but it never produced electricity for the house.” Randy eventually moved away and the only hope for resurrecting the turbine came when Mariah in Kansas expressed interest in an email to Mabon to discuss it. In fact, the turbine is featured in photos on the company’s website. But

emails to the company seeking comment were not returned. “If Mariah can get it up and running, we’d certainly give them access,” he said. Otherwise, it seems designed to remain a novelty on a hillside. “Mom always threatened to sell it, if she could find a buyer,” Mabon said. “Essentially, it has been nothing but a lawn sculpture.”

Well Continued from Page 1

emits alpha particles that may then damage surrounding tissue. Studies of workers exposed to high levels of radium and other sources of alpha radiation for extended periods show that high levels of radium may cause depression of the immune system, anemia, cataracts, and fractured teeth. Exposure to high levels of radium also has shown an increased incidence of bone, liver and breast cancer. Radiation received externally through showering, washing or other uses is not a hazard since alpha particles do not travel through your skin, the fact sheet said. But Monument officials say there is little risk to its water customers. They said the increased risk of getting cancer comes only after drinking radium-laced water over many years. The public notice, signed by

Thomas Tharnish, public works director, said the radium in its water “is not an emergency.” The state-mandated maximum contaminant level for radium is 5 picocuries per liter. The levels in well No. 9 were 6.1 picocuries per liter. The public notice said the town shut down the well for a month as it assessed its options. “All of our other wells have tested below the maximum contaminant level for radium 226/228,” the bulletin said. “There is nothing you need to do. You do not need to boil your water or take other corrective actions.” While stressing there was little risk to the public, the bulletin suggested people with weakened immune systems, infants, who are pregnant or elderly may want to consult a physician for advice on whether it is safe to drink the water. The town implemented “chemical changes” at its

water treatment plant and restarted the well. It said it will continue to test the well until radium levels drop to acceptable levels. Water engineers also are evaluating the best way to remove radium from treated wastewater before flushing it into Monument Creek. There are several ways water can be treated to remove radium from water. Ion exchange, lime softening and reverse osmosis are the most common methods and are capable of removing up to 90 percent of radium present. The public notice, assured the public the town is taking action to remove the radium from the water. “We anticipate solving this problem in six to nine months,” Tharnish wrote in the public notice. Anyone with questions was asked to call Steve Sheffield, 487-9291.

Bears contenders for state field hockey championship By Danny Summers dannysummers@yourpeaknews.com

Field hockey is the fastest sport on turf – with slap spots reaching up to 130 mph – and Palmer Ridge High School plays it at an accelerated level. Not familiar with the sport? It features players using sticks, similar to ice hockey, trying to score with a ball the size of a baseball and hard as a rock. The Bears, a combined District 38 team with players from neighboring Lewis-Palmer, are off to another hot start this season in their quest for their first-ever state championship in the sport. Palmer Ridge improved to 4-0 last week with a 5-0 victory over visiting Golden in a Colorado Field Hockey League game at Don Breese Stadium. In fact, the Bears have yet to surrender a goal this season, outscoring the opposition 22-0. “We’re really close to each other and our coaches have done a really good job of getting so many new players to play to advanced levels,” said senior Shannon Snediker, whose five goals

lead the Bears. Snediker, who is committed to Appalachian State, believes Palmer Ridge can win the state championship this season. “We’re done losing in the end,” Snediker said with resolve. “That’s our mindset.” Palmer Ridge senior goalkeeper Keelin Broeker is another big reason why the Bears are looking like a statechampionship contender. “We have to have good work ethic and do the basic things like good fundamentals and improving our skills,” said Broeker, who is committed to the Central Michigan. “The defense has really held the opposition down.” Brooker has only faced a half dozen

Other top Bears include seniors Emily Munn, Alexandra Sly, Kayla Clark and Shelby Kravchin; juniors Emma Kerr, Sydni Chytka, Abby Hermann, Kyra Rothwell and Liz Phillips; and sophomore Jordan Ray-Isner. Phillips is committed to the University of Colorado in lacrosse. Munn is trying to get her appointment to the Air Force Academy and join the diving team. Palmer Ridge is coached by Paul Lewis, a long-time member of the U.S. Men’s National Team. Lewis informed me, much to my surprise, that field hockey is the third-most played sport in the world behind soccer and cricket. You would never know that living in Colorado since so few high schools play the sport. In fact, high school field hockey in our state is for girls, only.

of winning and advancing deep into the postseason. Since Lewis took over the program in 2011, the Bears have played in two state finals and lost in the semis three times. The biggest thorn in the Bears’ side has been Colorado Academy. The Mustangs have defeated the Palmer Ridge five consecutive times in the playoffs since 2011, and 12 consecutive times overall since 2011. The only time the Bears have ever defeated Colorado Academy was Sept. 12, 2011 (1-0). The two teams tied later in the season during a league game. “We need to have cooperation with each other and believe in ourselves,” Munn said. “Every time we play them, we always have this pre-thought in our minds ‘Oh, we’re going to lose today.’ But this year we want to treat CA like every other team we play and do our best.” Palmer Ridge hosts Colorado Academy in a non-league game Sept. 24 at Don Breese, and travels to Colorado Academy in Denver for a league match on Oct. 5.

Boatman excels in first high school football game PR senior scores on catches of 97 and 90 yards By Danny Summers dannysummers@yourpeaknews.com

Bryan Boatman’s first-ever high school football game – at any level – proved to be a memorable one for the Palmer Ridge senior. Boatman, a wide receiver for the Bears, caught touchdown passes of 97 and 90 yards from sophomore quarterback Ty Evans in Palmer Ridge’s 2812 season-opening victory over Sand

Palmer Ridge sophomore quarterback Ty Evans threw for 360 yards in his first varsity start Sept. 2 against Sand Creek.

Creek on Sept. 2. Boatman finished the night with three receptions for 214 yards. Evans, making his first varsity start, completed 18 of 24 passes for 360 yards. It was the third best single-game performance by a Palmer Ridge quarterback in school history. His stats trailed only Blaine Wycoff’s 454 yards in 2012 and Isaiah Sanders’ 440 yards last year. “This feels good because in the offseason we work hard and do all this stuff and wonder in the first game ‘Are we going to be ready.’” Evans said. “Just to get this win as a team felt great.” Boatman, a starting outfielder/ pitcher on the school’s baseball team, might have had an even bigger night against Sand Creek, but he slightly dislocated his shoulder late in the game. The injury does not appear to be too serious. Boatman said he only considered coming out for football this season at the urging of his friends. “I played with my group of friends over the summer and I was just running over all of them and they said ‘You ought to go out for football,’ so here I am,” Boatman said with a smile. “I’m glad I came out.” Palmer Ridge offensive coordinator Darren Grob calls the plays for the Bears and picked Boatman’s number 4 when the team was backed deep in its own territory. “It starts with a lot of good blocking up front and with Ty making good decisions, and once he gets the ball into Boaty’s hands Boaty does what he does best,” said Palmer Ridge head coach

Tom Pulford. Boatman’s 97-yard touchdown catch – on Palmer Ridge’s first drive of the game – came on a slant pattern on third down. “I broke a couple of tackles and I got free and ran to the end zone,” he said. The 90-yard touchdown catch came on a fly pattern midway through the second quarter. “It looked like Ty launched it too far, but it fell right in my hands and I ran

untouched to the end zone,” Boatman said. Among the offensive lineman that gave Evans the time to make good throws were senior left guard Chase Walkes, senior right tackle Joel Krause and sophomore left tackle Aiden Cullen. Evans played quarterback a handful of varsity snaps last season as a freshman behind Sanders, who is now playing for the Air Force Academy.

Lewis-Palmer and Palmer Ridge to renew the rivalry By Tribune staff

Time to get your tickets for the hottest high school football game around as Lewis-Palmer and Palmer Ridge prepare to renew their rivalry. Last year’s rivalry game drew more than 2,000 people to Don Breese Stadium. Palmer Ridge won that game in a rout, 48-14, as the Bears piled up 583 yards of total offense.

It turned out to be L-P’s only loss in its first eight games. Still, both teams qualified for the playoffs last season. L-P finished 7-4 and lost to two-time defending state champion Pueblo East in the first round of the Class 3A state playoffs. Palmer Ridge finished 8-3, losing in the quarterfinals of the 4A state playoffs. L-P is the host school this year.

ting along super well.” Bartalo, the third senior on the team – she is committed to the Denver University – added that the Rangers really are taking the “one-game-at-a-time” approach. “We’ve been just focusing on fundamentals and breaking things down to make them what they should be,” she said. “That’s going to help us win all the games we have.” L-P has gotten strong back row play from freshman Gianna Bartalo (teamleading 125 digs), sophomore setter McKenna Sciacca and junior Aleyna Kennel to help make the Rangers a formidable force. L-P began this season with a 3-1 victory three-time defending 3A champion Eaton. On Sept. 13, the Rangers hosted defending 5A champ Cherokee Trail, but results were not available at press time.

A barrage of kills by outside hitters Michaela Putnicki and Lydia Bartalo, and stellar play at the net on defense by Liz Reich, Kessandra Krutsinger and Adelaide Feke propelled the LewisPalmer High School volleyball team to the championship of its own tournament on Sept. 10. The Rangers swept all four of its matches in the 12-team tournament to improve to 8-0 on the young season. L-P is 20-2 in sets this season. “I did not expect us to come out and be together automatically, but we have had a very strong start,” said Putnicki, a senior who is committed to the University of Virginia. “We have really strong offense and defense, and I think we’re a well-rounded team.” The Rangers look every bit as god at this point of the season as any of their four previous squads that played in the Class 4A state finals. L-P won back-to-back state championships in 2013 and 2014. “We are so diverse and we have a lot of depth,” said Reich, a senior who is committed to the University of Photo courtesy of Lisa Slaatten Reich Portland. “And we all love Lewis-Palmer High School volleyball coach Susan Odeneach other.
