Gleneagle Golf Course set to close Nov. 1 A lot of speculation about what will happen short, long term By Danny Summers [email protected]

Gleneagle bills itself as “A Planned Country Club Community.” Usually a golf

course is associated with a country club, but come Nov. 1, the only moving creatures inhabiting the area’s 40-year-old course will be squirrels, coyotes, foxes, geese and perhaps a bear or two.

That’s because the course is closing down.

“There are a lot of rumors and a lot of speculation,” said Ken Judd, who sits on the board of the Gleneagle Civic Association. “I don’t think there is any need for anybody

to be greatly concerned about this. I think somebody will buy it as a golf course, put some money into it and turn it into a good golf course.”

Judd has been a Gleneagle resident for 17 years and probably knows as much about the situation as anyone outside of the ownership group.

The Gleneagle golf course is owned and operated by MCTN LLC, a Nevada limited liability company set up by Atlanta-based

Mad River Holdings Inc. and the Miles and Denise Scully Trust. MCTN LLC purchased the 135.4-acre course in 2003 for the pal-try sum of $825,000, according to records supplied by the El Paso County Assessor’s Offi ce and the Nevada Secretary of State’s Offi ce.

Opponents of Measure 3A say ‘too much, no caps’ By Rob Carrigan [email protected]

Opponents of Measure 3A, the mill levy override for Lewis-Palmer School District 38 funding on the November ballot, say the district is asking for “way too much” and that there are “no controls.”

David Cloud, a representative of Direc-tion 38, a group that has opposed this, and previous mill levy override funding mea-sures, was asked to boil down the groups concerns Friday.

“It is too much, with no limits,” said Cloud Friday. “I might have supported the measure with a smaller amount, and a Mill cap.”

Cloud suggested that others might have different reasons for opposing the measure, but his opposition is rooted in the district not considering a cap of perhaps 50 mills overall.

Hilary Brendemuhl, also with Direction 38, cited the hardship on the local business community and the still diffi cult economy as reasons for her opposition.

“There are so many people on fi xed in-comes in this community that can’t afford this,” says Brendemuhl, and identifi es the higher rate business would have to pay be-cause of the previous passage of the Gal-lagher Amendment. The amendment was enacted in 1982 concerning property tax as-sessments, and sets what some say is a dis-proportionate burden on business owners.

She suggests some businesses may not survive the increase, or be able to pass it on as costs of doing business, and also says some of her concerns are related to “trust issues” with district offi cials and the board.

‘It is too much, with no limits. I might

have supported the measure with a smaller amount, and a Mill cap.’

The D38 MLO (3A) is the local ballot issue that supports Lewis Palmer School District

38. When you vote yes on 3A, local money stays local.

State Amendment 66 is a state initiative. The money collected from increased state income taxes, will be spread throughout all school districts in Colorado.

What State Amendment 66 means for District 38, is that for every dollar our district taxpayer base pays in, only about 40 percent

comes back to Lewis Palmer School District. The remaining 60 percent will go to funding other school districts.

A YES vote on 3A will ensure that our local tax dollars stay here, in our community—in our schools, in our classrooms.

Keep local money local. Vote YES on 3A in support of the D38 MLO.

For more information on how 3A measures up against State Amendment 66, please visit nowsthetimeD38.org.

WHAT is the difference between the D38 MLO (3A) and State Amendment 66?

Budget cuts on a state and local level and reductions in property taxes over the last five

years have forced the district to cut significantly from their oper-ating budget. Those cuts have resulted in larger class sizes, fewer teachers, less intervention programs, and out-of-date technology.

There is an inescapable negative impact from cuts this significant should they continue. They have affected students across the board—from gifted and talented, to students with an Individual Education Program (IEP) to those who are at risk of falling through the cracks due to lack of necessary intervention pro-grams and hands-on learning opportunities.

WHY do we need it?Very simply put, the need for quality educa-tion doesn’t have an end either. Second

grade doesn’t end, middle school doesn’t end, high school doesn’t end. Eighty percent of the D38 funding goes to hiring and retaining new teachers and classroom support personnel. What would be the purpose of reinstating positions and educa-tional programs only to eliminate them in a couple of years? Doing that would result in the district having to ask for succes-sive MLOs.

WHY isn’t there an end to the MLO?

Studies show that, on average, 10 percent of a home’s value is determined by the

quality of schools in the neighborhood. The greater the value of the home, the greater the positive or negative impact school quality has.

The degree to which the community supports the school district also impacts home values. When MLO measures fail repeatedly, it negatively impacts prospective homebuyers and, therefore, home values . . . and ultimately the community. Consistent voter support of a district has the opposite effect.

In simple terms, the potential change in your home’s value over the average period you would own it, say ten years, far exceeds the increase in your property taxes from the MLO. For example, should the MLO fail, a home valued at $350,000 could lose, on average, 10 percent of its value, or $35,000, over the course of ten years. The MLO, an investment of $292.53 per year for this $350,000 home, would generate a return of $3,500 a year. If the school district is kept in an economic straight jacket and is per-ceived as not supported by prospective homeowners, home values will decline. The MLO is designed to keep excellence in our schools and increase value of our homes and community.

we afford the MLO? We can’t afford NOT to.CAN

Vote YES on 3A for the MLO and show your support for our local schools—and for our kids.

SALOME’S STARSFOR THE WEEK OF OCT 28, 2013

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) The high standards you set for yourself don’t always translate into the behavior you expect of others. That relationship problem can be resolved if you’re more flexible and less judgmen-tal.

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Not enough party bids to satisfy the Bovine’s fun-loving side this week? Go ahead and throw one of your own. Then prepare for some serious work coming up early next week.

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) A new and intensely productive cycle is about to kick in. Be careful not to get too stressed out, though. Make time to restore your energies by relaxing with family and friends.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) This could be a good time to share some of your plans with those closest to you. Their comments could give you some added insight into how you might accomplish your goals.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) An attack of self-doubt might be unsettling for the usually super-assured Feline. But it could be your inner voice telling you to hold off im-plementing your plans until you’ve reassessed them.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) This is a great time for you to reward yourself for all your hard work by taking a trip you haven’t spent months carefully planning, to somewhere you never thought you’d be going.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Some misunderstand-ings resist being resolved. But your sincerity in want-ing to soothe those hurt feelings wins the day. By month’s end, that relationship should begin to show signs of healing.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A hectic job schedule begins to ease just in time to blow off all that work-generated steam on Halloween. A family situation runs into an unexpected complication.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) A cutting re-mark in the workplace needs to be handled with finesse. Remember: How you respond could deter-mine the depth of support you gain from colleagues.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Once again, that Capricornean stubborn streak sets in and could keep you from getting much-needed advice. Fortunately, it lifts by week’s end, in time to make an informed decision.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A surprise trip early in the week could lead to other unexpected offers when you return. Word to the wise: Avoid talking too much about this until you’ve made some decisions.

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Learning dominates the week for perspicacious Pisceans, who are always looking to widen their range of knowledge. A series of important job-linked commitments begins late in the week.

BORN THIS WEEK: Your sense of humor gener-ates good feelings and good will everywhere you go.

Shops Connect for Health Colorado off to an up and down startColorado has its own healthcare exchangeBy Danny [email protected]

Colorado is not off to the best of the start when it comes to people signing up for the Affordable Care Act.

According to officials with Connect for Health Colorado, only 226 people signed up for the ACA during the first week of en-rollment this month.

“It’s going really well,” said Ben Davis, the director of the Colorado-run healthcare exchange Connect for Health Colorado.

Colorado is one of 14 states running its own healthcare exchange. The state spent $21 million marketing the exchange. Most of the $21 million came from federal grants. The bulk of the advertising was spent on television and radio ads in both

English and Spanish, and billboards at Denver Broncos football games.

“Look, if you spent $21 million on a bake sale and sold 10 dozen muffins, that would be a complete disaster,” Republican Rep. Cory Gardner told the Associated Press.

Colorado hopes to enroll 136,000 peo-ple in health insurance programs through Connect for Health Colorado by the end of 2014. That goal will never be met at the current pace of enrollments.

So far, Colorado has signed up less than half the number of people in seven days as Rhode Island did in three days. Kentucky, which is also running its own healthcare exchange, enrolled 18,000 people in its healthcare program, commonly known as Obamacare, by Oct. 9.

Colorado has about 350,000 uninsured residents who aren’t eligible for Medicare.

“This is a much more complicated pur-chase than buying a T-shirt at gap.com,” Davis said. “We expect people to take their

time and really weigh their options, and that’s what they’re doing.”

Colorado’s health exchange website experienced technical glitches and er-ror messages, but officials said they were being addressed. The Colorado website seems to be performing better than the federal website that is being used in 36 states.

According to Adam Fox with Colorado Consumer Health Initiative, a nonprofit consumer advocacy organization, dur-ing the first week the Colorado exchange logged 162,941 unique visitors. Of those, 18,174 accounts were created with 226 shoppers that purchased plans.

If shoppers are unable to finish the ap-plication process or aren’t able to purchase a plan on line, they must call one of the marketplace’s customer service centers. The largest center is in Colorado Springs at the El Paso County government offices on Garden of the Gods Road.

Hold up that did not happenWeeks ago I mentioned a train robbery,

and some asked about others in our area. I happened to find this one from 1906, out of a Cripple Creek newspaper. It seems there was a rumor that passenger train No.3 on the Short Line was to be held up.

This was the morning passenger train, due to arrive in Cripple Creek at 1:20 p.m. It left Colorado Springs just after 9:30 a.m.

The train usually had three cars; the first car behind the engine was a combination coach, baggage and express. The office of Wells Fargo was sending their usual mes-senger up to the district, but a tip was given the express company officials at Colorado Springs that an attempt would be made to hold up the train. Word had spread that this trip might have more money on it. Special armed guards were put on the train by the Wells Fargo express company to guard a large sum of money which was being taken into the district on account of the approach of pay day at several of the larger mines.

The train’s trip up to Cripple Creek traveled over what we now know as the Gold Camp Road. In 1901 the Short Line Railroad built the line to get to Cripple Creek by the shortest route. There were two other lines in, but they were much longer. The line they used did have the problem of getting up into the mountains, by a steep winding path. The first 10 miles were quite steep. At the top of the climb was Summit station, followed a few miles on at Rosemont, before the line traveled at a more gradual rate. The train would travel at only a few miles an hour, and the train would stop at Summit for lunch and water.

In view of the fact that the spot is ideal for such a hold up and the unusually large sum was to be shipped on that particular train, the rumor was taken seriously.

As the train climbed up above Colorado Springs, the train crew and the guards were on high alert. As a matter of fact, no robbery had ever been tried on this line and the railroad had felt it was at risk here. A big theft like this was seriously feared, but it was deemed foolhardy for anyone to try to hold up the train in broad daylight, even in a spot so isolated as Summit or Rosemont. The Summit stop went as scheduled, and as the train wound the last few sharp curves at Rosemont, all was quiet. No robbers appeared and 100 or more passengers on the train had no intimation that any unusual excitement was in prospect.

In the summer now, tourists scan the horizon to the east from Summit, and Rosemont is a favorite picnic spot. I see hundreds of bicyclists working up the same route trains climbed, but cars get up here now on the old stage road now.

One never knows when the bullets will flyFor a little more than three years, I

worked in downtown Denver, not very far from where the money is made. Almost every day as I came out of the back door of our office building, I glanced down the alley and over at the mint across West Colfax Avenue — just to make sure no bullet-riddled black sedan full of armed highway men are engaged in a gun battle with guards from the Federal Reserve Bank and the mint.

One never knows. No one at the time thought all hell would break loose on Dec. 18, 1922.

“Bandits in masks, numbering at least four and possibly seven, staged an auda-cious hold-up at the doorstep of the Gov-ernment mint this morning, stole $200,000 in $5 bills from the truck of the Denver branch of the Federal Reserve Bank and made their escape after fatally shooting Charles Linton, a guard of the Reserve Bank truck,” led the New York Times Dec. 19, 1922 edition.

“The whole attack of the desperadoes was so well planned, so closely timed and so swiftly carried out that barely five min-utes elapsed between the opening of fire from the sawed-off shotguns of two or three of the bandits to the rush from the scene of the car which brought the raiding party.”

The Time’s story noted the ensuing

manhunt.“Tonight every highway in the State is

guarded and police and Federal authorities have armed squads out in pursuit of an au-tomobile occupied by seven men who were seen speeding northward soon after the robbery. One of the occupants was bleed-ing profusely, having been wounded in the jaw by one of the mint guard, it is believed.”

Papers all over the county called it the boldest robbery ever known here.

“I heard a shot, then several. Then the general alarm going in the mint,” The Rocky Mountain News reported Mint Su-perintendent Robert Grant’s account. “Ev-ery man picked up a rifle and rushed to the door.””

But by that time, Linton had already been shot.

“I understand that the bandit car drove up just as our men had re-entered the mint,” Grant was quoted in the News. “It

was nicely timed and the bandits evidently followed the bank truck from Arapahoe Street.”

According to the New York Times, “As-signed to the bank truck, in addition to Linton, were Wilbert Havenor, the driver; J.P. Adams and J.E. Olsen, cashier of the Reserve Bank, who has general charge of transferring the money.”

“Havenor had just come out of the mint with a sack full currency, making up a total of $200,000. The money was in 50 packages of $4,000 each, which were being put in the truck safe.

“The four members of the Reserve Bank crew had left the entrance of the mint and were walking toward their machine near the curb when another car drove up along-side the wire-enclosed money car. Two or three men carrying guns leaped from the car and with a shout of ‘Hands up!’ began to fire. Some say they shot at the bank crew, others think they aimed high at the mint building to terrorize all who might think of interfering,” reported the Times.

Linton, according to police reports of the incident, tried to throw money into the wire back compartment of the Federal Re-serve truck and he was shot in the process. Hanover dived under the truck, and Adams found cover behind another nearby parked car. Olson headed toward the mint for help but by that time, alarms were sounding in

the mint and as many as 50 guards armed themselves with rifles and shotguns and ran to the windows and doors and began firing.

“Concealed behind the Government car, the bandits coolly smashed open a window, lifted out the packages and shifted them with almost incredible rapidity into their own car,” said the Times account.

With alarms from the mint ringing continuously and bullets flying back and forth from the drumfire of bandits and the guards, the neighborhood was a battle-ground.

“So terrific was the gunfire that forty bullet holes can be counted in the tran-soms above the main entrance to the mint and in the windows of the second story. Windows in various stores and apartment houses across the street were riddled and there were many narrow escapes from bullets. One shot went through a window in Sylvania Hotel, at Court Place and West Colfax Avenue, and shattered a picture on the wall.”

After transferring the packages of mon-ey, one bandit, described as the leader and thought to have been the one who shot Charles Linton, jumped on the running boards of the getaway car.

There’s nothing like an all-service academy gameIf you’ve ever attended a football game

at the Air Force Academy, you are aware of the electric atmosphere that engulfs the stadium.

But there is nothing quite like a service academy game. Falcon Stadium drips with patriotism during these special events. It’s well worth the effort to arrive early and stay late.

Army, of course, comes to Falcon Stadi-um on Nov. 2. The two teams clash for the 48th time. Air Force leads the series 32-14-1 dating back to the first meeting in 1959.

The Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy is awarded to each season’s winner of the triangular series between the three service academies; Air Force, Army Black Nights and the Navy Midshipmen.

The Navy-Air Force game is tradi-tionally played on the first Saturday in

October, the Army-Air Force game on the first Saturday in November, and the Army-Navy Game on the second Saturday in December.

Air Force has won the Commander in Chief’s trophy a record 18 times. Navy is next with 13, followed by Army’s six. The award has been shared four times.

In the event of a shared award, the previous year’s winner retains custody of the trophy.

Prior to 1972, Air Force did not play an annual series with Army and Navy. The Commander-in-Chief’s trophy was the brainchild of Air Force General George B. Simler, a former Air Force Academy athletic director.

Simler wanted the games to have a slightly more significant meaning than all other normal collegiate opponents. He felt the nest for such a prestigious trophy would ensure the series would be played on an annual basis

The trophy was first awarded in 1972, when President Richard M. Nixon was Commander-in-Chief. The trophy itself is jointly sponsored by the alumni associa-tions of the three academies.

The President has personally awarded the trophy on a number of occasions. Dur-ing the 1980s, President Ronald Reagan presented the award in an annual White House ceremony.

After years of Air Force dominance, in 1996, President Bill Clinton presented the trophy at Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia after the Army-Navy Game. From 2003 to 2007, President George W. Bush presented the trophy at a White House ceremony.

During the late 1980s and early 1990s, the winner of the trophy, if bowl eligible, was granted an invitation to the Liberty Bowl.

The trophy itself stands 30 inches in height and weighs a whopping 170

“As the car gathered impetus the leader of the highwaymen, standing on the run-ning board, turned toward the Govern-ment building as if to fi re a fi nal volley at the guards. As he did so, Peter Kiedinger, a guard, who was on duty at the main en-trance, fi red a rifl e at the bandit. He was seen to crumple up on the running board and throw up his hands. He was pulled in-side the car by the driver. One eyewitness said he was hit in the jaw,” the Times re-ported.

Police, offering rewards of more than

$10,000 were never able identify any of the criminals with the exception of Nicholas “Chaw Jimmie” Trainor whose frozen body was discovered still inside the getaway car in Gilpin Street garage in Denver 18 days later. Secret Service agents recovered about $80,000 of the stolen mint money in a Minnesota hideout along with $73,000 in negotiable bonds from a Walnut Hills, Ohio robbery.

Nobody was ever charged in the broad-daylight robbery of a Federal Reserve truck in front of the Denver mint.

Sometimes, when I was walking by there on my way home, I thought I could still hear the distant gunfi re, shotgun blasts, alarms and the squeal of tires, as the bandits made their getaway. One never knows.

pounds. The design consists of three silver footballs in a pyramid like arrange-ment, set on a circular base, with three arc-shaped sections cut out - one for each academy. In each of the cut-out areas stands a silver fi gurine of the mascot of one of the academies, in front of small, engraved plates denoting which years the respective academy has won the trophy. Beneath each of the three silver footballs is the crest of one of the three academies.

When Air Force has possession of the trophy, it is displayed in a glass case in the Cadet Field House, the indoor sports complex at the Air Force Academy. When Army possesses the trophy, it is housed

in a glass case in Eisenhower Hall, the academy’s theater and ballroom. When Navy has possession of the trophy, it is displayed in a glass case in Bancroft Hall, the Midshipmen’s dormitory.

So who will win the trophy this year? Navy defeated Air Force, 28-10. If Air Force defeats Army, and if Army can defeat Navy, the trophy will be shared for only the fi fth time. Navy would retain possession since it won the trophy in 2012.

I plan on being at the game, which is scheduled to start at 10 a.m. When it is over, I will head over to District 20 Stadium for what promises to be a heated football game between Coronado and Discovery Canyon, ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in the state, respectively, in Class 3A.

Will you join me at Falcon Stadium or District 20 Stadium? If so, be sure to bring your seat cushion.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor:

“Now is Not the Time” for 3A! As residents of Monument, Colorado with a child in School District 38, my wife and I do have “skin in the game” regarding the upcoming 3A issue being voted on come 5 Nov 2013. We have considered the pros and cons of the proposals (including the 66th Amendment). We have seen little collaboration and intentional involvement with the community including residents, school teachers and businesses leading up to this November vote; therefore; we have decided now is NOT the time for 3A, and the additional tax burdens the community as a whole will experience.

There’s absolutely nothing in 3A that even begins to reward or incentivize cur-rent teachers working hard in our school district, day after day. The projected $4.5 million yearly 3A tax will likely increase over time and doesn’t reward excellent teachers that we have had the pleasure to work with at Prairie Winds Elementary and Lewis Palmer Middle Schools. Sadly, these teachers get paid inferior wages com-parative to professionals with equivalent professionalism, skills, and hard work are paid in other fi elds of endeavor. We see more benefi t in rewarding and incentiv-izing excellent teachers, then on wasting money on what 3A currently proposes. Additionally, the responsibility doesn’t end in the schools for educating and devel-oping children – parents are ultimately responsible and need money in their pockets to pursue extra-curricular activi-ties and programs they deem important and specifi c to their children’s overall edu-cational and leadership development.

We believe 3A was a rushed effort, and not enough people were involved to truly consider how to properly spend our mon-ey that would intentionally enhance and promote our school district, as a whole, while not harming families and businesses fi nancially.

The tax is exorbitantly high and on a collision course presenting a “Perfect Storm” that confronts our community: Obama Care Health Tax, higher insurance rate increases due to the Black Forrest Fire and Colorado Floods. Insurance companies must socialize these costs and our community and residents will pay them – rest assured. Businesses will be forced to pass on this added tax burden to Monument Citizens so they can stay afl oat. Key businesses and services such as Monument Hill Country Club have stated they will be in jeopardy of operating if this added 3A tax burden passes. Monument Hill Club participants will have to expend

more money in gas and fees to drive to clubs outside of Monument in order to swim, play tennis, golf, and dine. Our community will be a big loser should that happen.

Whether Monument citizens have chil-dren or elderly adults on fi xed incomes, all of us essentially have skin in the game. Proposal 3A will without question increase property taxes, and this will also translate to higher rent costs (as owners pass on the cost) to those who don’t own homes but living here in Monument. Our location will become less attractive for future home buyers, no question! This happened in California over the years and we have been the recipient of many people relocating from that state specifi cally. I know for a fact people have their “For Sale” sale signs ready to go, if 3A passes, as they see the writing on the wall with future and unending tax increases. The community needs leaders to reach out and encourage public participation, collaboration, and intentional strategic community planning going forward – Vote NO for 3A.

Kevin Reece, Monument, Colorado

Dear Editor:Questions: Are the school funding

needs real? YES!!! Alarming facts: Colorado per pupil revenue ranks

between 40th-48th among the fi fty states and has dropped almost $1000 during the recession

Colorado does not provide a uniform funding for every school district. PPR is allocated by socio-economic factors and school district size.

District 38 is funded at the “fl oor” of State funding, meaning that the District get the minimum PPR allocated by the State

These realities have impacted aca-demic excellence in all our schools. I have been fl abbergasted to see PTO fund raisers for essential things like science kits that should be in budget. Our teachers have stood in the gap but I fear they are at a breaking point.

Answers – While Amendment 66 puts $1B in schools, I encourage you to read the fi ne print. Dollars are allocated based on socio economic factors with many string attached and I’m not at all convinced that it will help foster academic excellence in D38 schools. The local 3a Mill Levy gives D38 the opportunity to apply local monies against local priorities. Having moved here in 2010 I confess not to fully understand-ing some of the fi nancial decisions of prior school boards but hear the emotion as though it happened yesterday. Wow! How-

ever, as a conservative leaning taxpayer I ask myself, did the process work? Were elected board members held account-able? YES None of those Board members or Superintendent are still in offi ce today. Will we as a community fail to meet the current needs of our children and grand-children due to past mistakes? If we do, we aren’t hurting bad decision makers, we’re hurting our kids and that quite simply that breaks my heart.

Holly Rollins, Monument Academy School Board President

Dear Editor:I am an LP parent of four children. My

eldest started in Palmer Lake Kindergarten in Fall 1995 and graduated from LPHS in 2008. My youngest started Palmer Lake preschool in Fall 2009 and graduates in 2023. I will have kids going to school in District 38 for about 27 years. I have a vested interest in this school district and I support public education. However, prior to attending the board meeting last Thurs-day night, I was against the MLO mostly because I do not trust the D-38 board or administration because of past events.

After listening carefully to the ques-tions, arguments and answers from the board meeting last week — I am now undecided.

Thanks to all of you for the time you put into last week’s board meeting and the professional and patient way you an-swered the questions. It is obvious you are a bunch of smart, dedicated folks.

My summary of the discussion is that the MLO is being requested so that District 38 does not have to be at the mercy of the State of Colorado for funding. Since I am in agreement that the State’s funding and methods are unfair, I support this.

However, I am hoping you can answer some follow-up questions for me prior to the vote.

1. You emphasized the importance of small class sizes and the PK to 3rd grade set of students. I couldn’t agree more since PLES has a kindergarten class with 30 kids in it !! You stated that our class sizes have gone up. Can you please tell me where I can get information that shows the class

sizes for all grades for EACH of the D-38 elementary schools? If you can compare them to the class sizes for the same grades and schools from fi ve to eight years ago – this would be a great visual.

2. When a parent asked when would we see the class sizes be reduced if the MLO passes – you stated as soon as possible. If the MLO passes and you hire teach-ers – how will you reduce the elementary class sizes? Is there classroom space in our Elementary schools? In PLES, I doubt that there is enough classrooms to reduce the sizes of the K-third grade classes. What is the board’s plan to reduce class sizes when our schools do not have the physical space? This should be clearly communi-cated. This is what transparency is.

3. Our single middle school has falling test scores and overcrowding too. Again – how will you solve this problem when there is no physical space? Will D-38 go year round? Will D-38 consider a single junior high of seventh through ninth grades and single high of 10th through 12th grade?

4. We cannot currently afford a quality education – that was implied and stated. We are asking parents to pay to get their kids to school and pay for mandatory electives in middle school and pay for fi eld trips. How are our optional extra-curricular activities including athlet-ics funded? Are they using funds that could be used for core education? If we are charging parents to take a mandatory elective in middle school – then the extra-curricular activities should be completely self- funded. If we are charging parents to ride the bus to school or on a school related fi eld trip – then the transportation costs for school athletic programs should be paid for by the participants in these programs – Are they? Specifi cally, if kids are paying approximately 23 percent of the transportation costs to ride the bus to school (this was the percentage provided by D-38 when the fee was put into place) – then what PERCENTAGE of transportation costs are our athletic teams paying to ride

Diego-based attorney — on several occa-sions over the years. He trusts that Scully has the best interests of the Gleneagle com-munity in mind.

“The Gleneagle Golf Course is a signifi -cant asset for him and I’m sure he will take care of it,” Judd said. “It’s reasonable to as-sume that he will attempt to sell it. I’m sure it will be maintained.”

In a news release earlier this month, the golf club said the decision to close the course was made due the club’s “declining number of golfers and revenue, as well as increasing costs for water and other items.”

The club’s pool, Palms Restaurant and banquet facilities remain open and will be available for weddings, banquets and par-ties, the release said.

Attempts made by The Tribune to con-tact Rick Evelo, the club’s general manager and superintendent, have been unsuccess-ful. Several golf course employees were also contacted by the Tribune, but they had little to say.

The Tribune also left messages for Miles Scully, but he did not return calls.

Dick Myers, who runs the pro shop, said that six to seven golf employees were laid off.

“I’ve heard a lot of rumors, but that’s about it,” Myers said. “Nothing really new has been said since we were laid off.”

Carroll Clabaugh sits on the board of the Gleneagle North Home Owners Asso-ciation. His home is about one-quarter mile from the clubhouse, but he is concerned none-the-less about what will happen to the area after the course is closed.

“I’m like every other person out here; wondering what’s the plan,” Clabaugh said. “We’re very concerned, obviously. It’s a ter-rible scenario.

“It’s hard to say how you feel one way or another until you know a plan.”

About 45 residents of Gleneagle com-munity showed up at the Gleneagle Civic Association general meeting on Oct. 17 to get more information on the closure of the golf course. Judd shared what he knew, spe-cifi cally citing a development agreement between Scully’s company and the Board of County Commissioners of El Paso County in May 2010.

“(Scully) expressed an interest to turn the driving range into town homes to create capital for the golf course,” Judd said.

The agreement, which was signed May 27, 2010, allows Scully’s company to devel-op the driving range at any point. However, the agreement also states that the rest the course’s 135-plus acres cannot be devel-oped until at least May 2020.

Judd could not comment for sure on what would happen to the course if it is not reopened or if a new owner is not found. Judd verifi ed that there are rumors the land will be treated as an open space.

Gleneagle is not the fi rst golf course in the area to experience fi nancial hard-ship. Woodmoor Country Club closed its golf course last fall, only to have it reopen in June. Several years ago, Appletree Golf Course in Colorado Springs closed down.

Golf participation has been in decline in the United States in recent years, according to the National Golf Foundation’s web site. In 2005, there were more than 16,000 cours-es and 30 million golfers.

The website notes that there are about 400 fewer courses today and about 4.3 mil-lion fewer golfers.

Roger Louden, vice president of the Gle-neagle Civic Association has lived on the third fairway at Gleneagle since 1991. Yet, he has never played a round of golf at Gle-neagle.

“My son played here when he was in high school and college,” Louden said. “I just never have.”

developed fi ne lean beef on relative poor forage,” says literature from the ranch.

Rollie Johnson, CEO for a group of more than 50 radio stations all over the country, showed his prowess at hooking log chokers Tuesday in Monument, as Davy and Dandy skidded logs across the fi eld. The four-year-old team weighed in at about 2,000 pounds each and will con-tinue to grow for three more years.

“Oxen were used extensively to pull wagons of the pioneers along the Mor-mon, Oregon, California and Santa Fe trails. At one point in the 1850s, an aver-age of 750 wagons left Omaha daily and the majority were pulled oxen. Oxen could eat while walking. You could milk the cows at night and, if one died, you could survive their meat. Once the pio-neers arrived at their destination, the oxen were then used as draft animals on the farms and ranches and towns created. An ox can be any breed of cattle but is ba-sically a steer that is more than four years old and has been trained as a draft ani-mal and, ultimately, will be called an ox. If you can trace your family’s history in the 1800s to the use of any of the four major

trails, then your ancestors’ goods most likely arrived by being pulled by oxen,” according to a Three Eagles information piece.

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 Mis-souri. A bull, nicknamed Jesse James, was purchased from Washington’s Birthplace Farm near Williamsburg. The fi rst 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. To-day’s second trained team from Three Ea-gles — 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, are going to Arizona to be used in an experiment to prepare equipment that can be easily rep-licated in rural Africa. Three Eagles Ranch has four other teams in training at the ranch — David and Dandridge, Fitzgerald and Ford, Grant and Garfi eld, George and Grover.

Omegaman a hit at Bear Creek Elementary School More than 800 Bear Creek students were at the anti-bullying assembly

By Danny Summers [email protected]

Omegaman presented his anti-bullying message to more than 800 students at Bear Creek

Elementary School last week.Considered the No. 1 school

assembly in the nation, Ome-gaman was at the Monument school on Oct. 21 for two as-semblies. He talked about the difference between being a “Dream Maker” and a “Dream Taker.”

He helped get his message across through the use of sever-al effective props; bending steel

with his bare hands, ripping a phone book in half and break-ing a baseball bat over his knee.

Omegaman’s anti-bullying message is geared toward el-ementary and middle school students. At the end of the as-sembly he passed anti-bullying wrist bands to each student to visually reinforce the anti-bul-lying message throughout the school year.

Omegaman stressed to students that Bear Creek Elementary School is a Bully Free area. Photos by Danny Summers

Sawing logSNew ways to preserve the old days

By Rob [email protected]

Railroad building and general develop-ment in the Denver and Colorado Springs area has made logging in this area at least a century-old tradition. Early mills in the Forest and at Husted, Perry Park, and up

on Cherry Creek, date back to days of Pikes Peak Gold Rush in the early 1860s.

General William Jackson Palmer’s construction and planning of the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad ac-celerated the process. Interestingly, if you look at early 1900-era photos, you will notice the level of logging operations along the Palmer Divide by the absence of trees on area slopes.

Palmer established the Colorado Pinery Trust in 1870. Logging in the Black Forest, or Pinery, reached its height in the summer of 1870 and eventually more than one billion feet of lumber was removed to pro-vide ties for the Kansas Pacific, Denver and Rio Grande and New Orleans Railroads, and lumber for projects along the tracks.

The Black Forest fire in June of this year, and related mitigation efforts, has re-focused attention on the nearby logging operations.

This past week, Bob Olson, who lives in the Black Forest area himself, has 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 plans to build a stage

stop log cabin 18 feet by 16 feet, dedicated to recall-ing 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,” says Maguire. “And a stage at one time was the only way of getting here before the rails.”

Jim and Donna Maguire fed hundreds on Tuesday, Oct. 22, at a kickoff luncheon on first day of the milling operation

County public health con� rms rabies First case in domestic cat since 1966

Sta� report A 3-week old kitten found in Fountain

has tested positive for rabies, and is believed to be the fi rst reported case of a rabid do-mestic cat in El Paso County since 1966.

The kitten was found abandoned under a shed on South Race Street in Fountain. The kitten, which was displaying neurologic symptoms, tested positive for rabies at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment Laboratory on Oct. 24.

According to reports from the neighbor-hood, the mother of the rabid kitten was a calico cat (spotted/multi-colored) last seen in early October. While rabies has common-ly been thought to be an issue of wild ani-mals (such as skunks and bats) there have been four other rabid cats in Colorado in 2013. These cats were in Larimer (1), Logan (1), Washington (1) and Weld (1) counties.

Known individuals who have been in contact with the rabid kitten have been as-sessed by El Paso County Public Health for appropriate treatment. At this time, El Paso County Public Health is not aware of any other contact between the mother cat or kittens and other individuals. However, any-one who may have had contact with any stray cats or kittens from this area (South Race Street in Fountain) in the past two weeks should contact El Paso County Public Health.

Rabies is fatal once symptoms appear. It is a viral disease that infects the brain and

other parts of the central nervous system, causing brain swelling and damage, and ul-timately, death. Rabies is spread primarily through the bite of rabid animals, resulting in the spread of the disease through their infected saliva. Rabies also can be spread when saliva from an infected animal gets into open wounds, cuts or enters through membranes of the eyes, nose or mouth.

Preventive medication is available for people known or suspected to have been bitten by a rabid animal. It is important for people bitten or scratched by a wild animal or an unfamiliar animal to contact their doctor.

Take these precautions to prevent rabies:• Vaccinate pets against rabies by using a

licensed veterinarian. Rabies shots need to be boosted, so check a pet’s records or talk to a veterinarian.

• When walking or hiking with dogs, pro-tect them and wildlife by keeping dogs on a leash.

• Keep cats and other pets inside at night when foxes and skunks are more ac-tive. Keep dogs within sight (in a fenced yard, or on leash) while outside.

• Contact a veterinarian promptly if a pet has possibly been exposed to a wild animal.

• Do not touch or feed wild animals. Wild animals like skunks and foxes adapt to resi-dential environments if food is available – don’t leave pet food outdoors.

• If one or one’s family member is bitten or scratched by any animal, call a doctor and the Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region (719) 473-1741.

THINGS TO DO IN YOUR COMMUNITY

the bus to games? I asked this question when the fees were introduced and I did not get an answer ...

5. What percentage of our students are in the specialized programs like Gifted/Talented, Developmental and Options 38 programs? What percentage of our general funding is used for these programs? Is it proportional to the number of kids in the programs?

6. A parent asked what the board had done about cutting costs prior to ask-ing for the MLO – the board talked about reducing administrative staff. How many administrative staff do we have? What do we pay our staff? How does D-38 compare in terms of number of staff and dollars spent to a comparable school district – say Cheyenne Mountain?

7. Why do we have two high schools and one middle school? Please explain how it is supportable in the future. (see question No. 3).

8. When Grace Best was shuttered and Bear Creek was opened, one of the reasons was the money that would need to be spent on Grace Best for renovations. Now, we are supporting activities out of Grace Best. Did we do these renovations so the building can be safe? If not, why did we need to do them to keep Grace Best open

but we don’t need to do them now for the activities (like the home school support) that are occurring now?

9. D-38 is doing home schooling sup-port for “free.” How is this being funded?

If the MLO passes, what are the key objectives and plans for the next fi ve years? If you are asking us to support you and to help you ‘get out of the hole’ and ‘make things better’ – then there should be a plan. The communication so far is what the district plans to spend money on in the fi rst year. When this question was posed in the meeting, there was no answer. You should have projected enrollment for every school. You should know what our issues are with physical classroom space in every school. And – if our class sizes are big and our enrollment is growing – what is the plan for our physical infrastructure? Where is the plan?

I am willing to support this MLO if we have a plan.

Thanks for your time, Melanie Noe

Dear Editor:I’ve become increasingly alarmed with

Ballot Initiative 3A as I’ve researched how to vote on the Lewis Palmer School District 38 massive $4.5 million Mill Levy Override. 3A, if passed, will take Tri-Lakes property owners from the 9th highest taxed school district in Colorado to the 3rd out 178 districts! This is a 20% increase in the taxes paid to D38! 3A also imposes additional onerous taxes on local businesses already burdened by the struggling economy.

I grew up in Monument and graduated from Lewis Palmer High School as have my own children. We’ve benefi ted from a District that has long been “Accredited with Distinction,” the highest rating given to Colorado public schools. 3A propo-nents are using emotion-fi lled messages to imply that our kids will suffer unduly if they don’t secure this hefty MLO. Perhaps a capped, limited MLO is justifi ed. Instead of 3A, however, let’s look fi rst at applying sound fi scal policies to right the ship.

Here’s what else I’ve learned about 3A in my research:

This MLO goes on in perpetuity versus a specifi ed timeframe. Plus, I can’t identify any control or accountability measures. It has no cap as other districts have done. D12 (Cheyenne Mountain) voters capped their MLO at 50 Mills. D38 is already at 51.7 Mills going to 62.2! We’ll be the high-est in El Paso County. In 2010 the current board borrowed $4.1 million by issuing 2 Certifi cates of Participation to cover operating expenses and refi nance 3 capital leases under a 20-year term, obligating D38 taxpayers to pay back the principal PLUS $2.4 million in interest. The current board cut 35 teaching positions, froze teacher salaries and cut programs and services.

The Colorado Department of Education placed D38 on the State Auditor’s Watch List for ‘severe fi nancial distress’ between 2006–2009.

It’s a weird irony that there is currently a whopping $11 million in the D38 reserve

fund, the highest ever according to any data I can fi nd. It appears to me that 3A is the current-day manifestation for fi scal management issues of the recent past. Given the reserves, why did we cut teach-ers and programs? Why didn’t we just pay off the capital leases in 2013 and 2014? And WHY do we need a $4.5 million MLO that isn’t capped and NEVER sunsets?!

For all its faults, I appreciate a political system that encourages public debate and the marketplace of ideas. So it’s troubling to learn that the “Vote NO on 3A” yard signs, sacrifi cially donated by a young couple expecting their fi rst child, have all but been stolen or destroyed. Contrast that to the Vote YES signs which have been left undisturbed even where they’ve been planted without permission. So much for civil debate.

The hubris of 3A — and its sign-stealing proponents -- has caught me completely off guard. I’m a hometown girl who has always appreciated the important role our D38 schools have played in galvanizing the community. This is not the Tri-Lakes spirit I’ve known since girlhood. It’s tax-payer usury. Fellow property and business owners, even if you don’t typically vote in off-year elections, you must research 3A carefully. 3A proponents have masterfully spun the “facts” and invoked an “it’s for the kids” tactic to woo us into some emotional vote. The facts just don’t support the need for this MLO. I’m voting NO on 3A.

Respectfully submitted, Laura (Price) McGuire, Monument

Tri-Lakes boys finish strong at state meetTCA’s Conner Wilburn finishes fourth; Palmer Ridge’s Eric Hamer comes in sixthBy Danny [email protected]

Conner Wilburn looked like he could easily go another 5,000 meters after cross-ing the finish line at Norris-Penrose Events Center on Oct. 26.

Meanwhile, Wilburn’s arch rival, Eric Hamer, was extremely relieved that the grueling 4A state championship cross country race was over.

“I was just hurting,” said Hamer, a Palmer Ridge junior who finished sixth overall with a time of 16 minutes, 46.6 seconds. “My side hurts, but that last 800 (meters) I felt like I had to go for it. I got out kicked at the end by two guys and that’s the disappointing part.

“It’s a rough course. There are hills. Downhill running after a hill really hurts and I think it just got to me.”

Hamer finished less than two seconds behind Wilburn (16:44.9). The Classi-cal Academy senior’s fourth-place fin-ish helped vault his Titans’ squad to sec-ond-place overall. The Titans scored 123 points. Broomfield won with 89.

“It was a perfect temperature, espe-cially after last week when it was so cold at regionals,” Wilburn said. “God must have a thermostat because he just turned it to

perfect weather. It was so good.”Wilburn said he heard cheers as he ran

along the course.“I have no idea where that was coming

from,” Wilburn said with a smile. “I must have a fan base or something.”

Wilburn and Hamer talked when they were in the winner’s circle waiting to be recognized near the podium.

“It’s cool beating him, but it’s all about our team placing,” said Wilburn, who lost to Hamer at regionals. “If I finish last and

my team does well that makes it all worth it.”

Titans coming in behind Wilburn were senior Chandler Ryd (17:22), sophomore Michael Oldach (17:47), freshman Tan-ner Norman (17:49) and senior Ben Hook (17:50).

“It was kind of a redemption race for us as a team last year when we kind of psyched ourselves out,” Hook said. “This course is always hard, but once we the downhill it flowed pretty smoothly.”

Palmer Ridge finished 11th as a team with 275 points. Other Bears coming in behind Hamer were junior Tommy Here-bic (17:27), senior Zach Blehm (18:23), sophomore Liam Cox (18:28) and fresh-man Andrew Rudnicki (18:38).

“We’ve had an amazing season and we were prepping for this so much,” Herebic said.

Blehm felt the Bears have better days ahead.

“I am very happy with these guys, par-ticularly with Eric and Tommy being next year’s leaders,” Blehm said.

Lewis-Palmer finished 23rd as a team with 528 points. Scoring for the Rangers were junior Austin Bach (18:28), junior Jeffrey Naumiec (18:29), senior Chris-topher Ecklund (18:44), junior Hunter Shuman (18:48) and senior Ian McInroe (19:31).

Discovery Canyon did not qualify for the state meet as a team, nor did the Thunder have any individuals qualify for the state meet.

Palmer Ridge’s Ali Deitsch finishes third at state meetThe Classical Academy’s run of 10 straight state titles comes to an endBy Danny [email protected]

The Classical Academy’s run of 10 con-secutive girls’ state cross country champi-onships ended at Norris-Penrose Events Center Oct. 26 under bright blue skies.

The Titans finished a surprising fifth (185 points) in the Class 4A meet, a stagger-ing 50 points behind first-place Thompson Valley.

The last time the TCA girls did not win a state cross country title was 2002.

“I’m really proud of these girls no matter what the results say,” said TCA junior Mad-die Mullen, who was the second TCA run-ner to cross the finish line behind senior Lauren Hamilton.

TCA had the best finish of any Colorado Springs area team in the 5,000-meter race. Air Academy was sixth (216), followed by Cheyenne Mountain (221). Palmer Ridge was ninth (261). Discovery Canyon fin-ished 13th (325).

Hamilton crossed the finish line in 10th with a time of 20 minutes, 00.6 seconds. She ran seventh at state as a junior.

“This course always runs slow, so I think everybody was not where they normally are,” said TCA senior Brianne Hoglin, who finished third on her team with a time of 20:53. “But this field overall felt faster than it did last year.

Palmer Ridge senior Ali Deitsch (19:19.5) turned in the best race of any Tri-Lakes area runner when she crossed the fin-ish line third behind Niwot’s Elise Cranny (18:07.8) and Air Academy Katie Rainsberg-er (18:47.4).

“I knew Cranny and Rainsberger, who are top 10 in the nation, were going to go

flying so my coaches decided I should so-lidify third for my team,” Deitsch said. “I’m happy with my time, considering how hard the course is.”

Deitsch likely has at least two more na-tional races to run this season before she takes her impressive act to the college lev-el. She is being recruited by numerous Di-vision I schools, including Colorado, Colo-rado State, Butler, Tulsa and Michigan, as well as Division II Western State.

“This is bitter sweet,” Deitsch said. “I love my team so much, but I am excited to race in college.”

Deitsch visited with Hamilton after the race as the two waited to have their names called at the podium.

“We’ve gotten to know each other pretty

well,” Deitsch said of her rival. “She’s such an awesome runner.”

Hamilton also spoke of her admiration for Deitsch

“We always congratulate each when we’re about to run a race, and then after-wards we’re just hugging each other,” Ham-ilton said. “It’s really an incredible relation-ship.

“Cross country is richer when you to have friends from different areas of life. It just really fulfills you to have those rela-tionships after a race and congratulate ev-eryone.”

Palmer Ridge’s four runners after De-itsch will all return next year: sophomore Kaitlin Ramsey (20:51), sophomore Audrey Furst (20:57), junior Claire Wilson (21:50)

and sophomore Hannah Capek (22:38).“We’re so close and we all work each

other hard and push each other,” Furst said. “Kaitlin and I are always running to-gether and always trying to find Ali in the race. We have such a great team bond. We’re like sisters.”

Discovery Canyon’s top runner was sophomore Elizabeth DeLaurell, who fin-ished 14th (20:13). The next four scorers for the Thunder were junior Arianna Ross (21:15), freshman Yana Brown (22:03), sophomore Sydney Hosey (22:07) and ju-nior Courtney McCann (22:35).

Lewis-Palmer did not qualify for state as a team, nor did the Rangers have any indi-viduals qualify.

Thunder set for huge showdown with Coronado Battle of No. 2 and No. 3 ranked teams in state set for Nov. 2 at District 20 Stadium By Danny Summers [email protected]

One of the most talked about and an-ticipated high school football games this season will take place Nov. 2 at District 20 Stadium when Discovery Canyon hosts Coronado.

The Class 3A South Central League tilt will match will involve the state’s No. 2 and No. 3 ranked teams in a winner-take-all af-fair with important playoff implications on the line.

“Our goal is to be the league champs again, but we also want to be in the playoffs again,” said Discovery Canyon coach Shawn Mitchell. “The league champs get the top seven seeds. We were No. 2 last year.”

Coronado (9-0 overall, 3-0 in league) is ranked second in the state behind Pali-sade (8-1) and is enjoying its best season in school history. The Cougars have averaged 36 points per game while allowing just six.

Discovery Canyon (8-1, 3-0) is ranked third in the state. The Thunder has been equally impressive, outscoring the opposi-tion by an average of 38 to 13.

“Coronado has been a great game since I’ve been in high school,” said Discovery Canyon senior quarterback Alec Wirtjes. “We lost my freshman year when I was on (junior varsity). We won my sophomore and junior year.”

Discovery Canyon comes into the game on a high note after shutting out Woodland Park, 42-0 on Oct. 25. Wirtjes threw two touchdown passes and ran for two others while compiling 250 total yards.

If this year’s game is anything like last year’s regular season fi nale, then the fans should be in for quite a treat. Discovery Canyon won 46-41 in a barn-burner at Gar-ry Berry Stadium as Wirtjes accounted for 315 yards of total offense and four touch-downs.

“We have to play the same football that got us into this position,” said Wirtjes, who leads the Thunder in rushing with 734 yards and 12 touchdowns.

Wirtjes has been dealing with a foot in-jury, similar to the kind that has plagued Denver Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey all season. Wirtjes missed the Oct. 18 Mitch-

ell game.“We weren’t sure how serious it was,”

Mitchell said. “He had an x-ray and an MRI and things checked out okay, but we just have to see.”

The Thunder lost their best lineman, Jackson Spalding, to a season-ending injury during the team’s game with Lewis-Palmer on Oct. 4.

“He was making a block and driving a guy down fi eld and didn’t get up,” Mitchell said. “It swelled up like crazy.

“He’s going to miss all of the wrestling season and the fi rst part of track.”

Senior Joey Nielson has taken over for Spalding at left tackle on offense. Senior Adrian Mack has moved from defensive end to tackle to fi ll Spalding’s absence on defense.

“We’re going to miss his size, but we in-creased our speed,” said Mack, who began

the season as a starting linebacker.Mack is also one of the Thunder’s top

ball carriers with 333 yards and four touch-downs.

Mack knows how good Coronado can be.“Their defense is really good he said.

“Their linebackers are really well coached.”Thunder junior running back Ben Gilson

has emerged as a force this season with 378 yards and six touchdowns. He had a 90-yard touchdown scamper against Woodland Park.

“We’re starting to click on all cylinders,” Gilson said. “If we end up getting the No. 1 seed we’re not going to take any team light-ly.”

Canin Ritz is another running back that doubles as a linebacker on defense. He maintains that the Thunder is not looking past Coronado

“Our coach preaches the importance of

making sure don’t look past any game,” Ritz said.

The Thunder’s passing attack has im-proved this season. Eight different players have caught balls, led by Michael Beiswing-er’s team-high 13 and fi ve touchdowns. He had two touchdown catches against Wood-land Park.

“We know what we can do as a team,” said Beiswinger, who also starts at defensive back “We’ll be ready for anything Coronado throws at us.”

Coronado comes into the game having had two weeks to prepare for the Thunder. Coronado last played Oct. 18 at Woodland Park.

“If I’m Coronado do I worry about taking a wee off before a big game,” Mitchell said. “If I’m Coronado I would be. When you take a week off like that you have to knock the rust off a little bit.”

Palmer Ridge bows out of � eld hockey state playo� s Bears lose to Colorado Academy in state semi� nals By Danny Summers [email protected]

The Palmer Ridge fi eld hockey team just can’t seem to get that monkey called Colorado Academy off its back.

For the fourth time in less than a cal-endar year, and the sixth time in three seasons, the Bears lost to its rivals from the north. The latest setback was by a 7-2

score in the semifi nals of the state playoffs Oct. 23 in Denver.

“It’s not the fi nish we were hoping for, especially after the season we had,” said Palmer Ridge coach Paul Lewis. “Colorado Academy was pretty strong at every posi-tion and they were able to exploit us.”

In his six seasons as coach of the pro-gram, Lewis has built Palmer Ridge into a state power. The Bears reached the state fi nals last season, where they lost to Colo-rado Academy, 2-1, in a shootout. Palmer Ridge advanced to the semifi nals in 2011.

“The girls worked this season in every

practice and in every game,” Lewis said. “They are all exceptional young ladies.”

The Bears’ big three on offense were all seniors - Daelynn Demello, Brian Knop and Jessica Berg. Demello and Berg scored Palmer Ridge’s goal in the semifi -nals game.

“It’s going to be tough losing our en-tire front line,” Lewis said. “But we have strong midfi elders and most of our de-fense is coming back.”

Palmer Ridge (12-5) was the No. 4 seed in the tournament. The Mustangs (16-0) — the state’s highest scoring team — are

the top-seeded team.Colorado Academy broke a 1-1 tie with

about 10 minutes remaining in the fi rst half and built a 3-1 lead at the break and 5-1 midway through the second half.

“We got stuck trying to get the ball out of our defense,” Lewis said.

Palmer Ridge returns the bulk of its team next season, including midfi elders Courtney Child, Ashley Walker and Edie Statham, midfi elders Lilly Commerford, Lexi Fabian and Sara Conrad, and goal-keeper Cheradyn Pettit.

“I think we’ll be OK,” Lewis said.

He’s only a scrooge when it comes to running the ballPalmer Ridge junior running back Ebenezer Martin having breakout seasonBy Danny [email protected]

Eben Martin grew up in Ghana, West Af-rica, kicking a soccer ball. But these days he finds running with a football more to his lik-ing.

The Palmer Ridge High School junior running back is enjoying a breakout season for the Bears as they continue their march for a postseason berth.

The 5-foot-11, 195-pound Martin has gained more than 600 yards in nine games to go along with nine touchdowns. Three times he has rushed more than 100 yards in a game, with a high of 189 against Mesa Ridge on Oct. 18 during a 31-21 Palmer Ridge victory.

“Late in the game he broke free and was able to take advantage of some blocking up front and scored our final touchdown that put us up 31-21,” said Palmer Ridge second-year coach Tom Pulford.

Martin and his teammates moved a step closer to reaching the playoffs on Oct. 25 with a 34-28 victory over Canon City. The Bears are 4-5 overall, 4-2 in the Class 4A Foothills League.

Junior quarterback Blaine Wycoff paced the Bears, throwing a career-high four touchdown passes.

Martin, whose full first name is Ebene-zer, was adopted by Tom and Raelynn Mar-tin prior to his eighth-grade year when he moved from Ghana to Monument and at-tended Lewis-Palmer Middle School. He quickly improved his English skills and ad-justed quite well to American culture.

It was at Lewis-Palmer Middle School where Martin first tried his hand at football.

“I played everywhere,” Martin said with a smile. “They started me on the defensive line and on offense. Every position I was do-ing well. They put me at running back and I really liked that.”

Martin’s progression through the high school ranks has been steady. He played exclusively on the freshman team as a ninth-grader and then moved to varsity as

a sophomore, where he was used primarily as a middle linebacker. He saw some time at running back, carrying the ball 17 times for 110 yards and a touchdown as the Bears compiled a 3-7 overall record.

This season he became the featured back and the Bears are better for it.

“When we have that opportunity to have him run through our right side it works pretty well,” said Bears’ senior right guard Danny Curran. “I have full confidence in him that he’s going to get the ball where it needs to go.

“Seeing Eben in that open field makes you feel good. You know you did your job to get one of your brothers in the end zone.”

Added sophomore right tackle George Silvanic: “He runs hard. He runs fast. He doesn’t slow down when he gets contact.

Bears’ senior tackle John Boogaard likes

when running plays go his way.“I feel I’m pretty good at outside zone

blocking,” Boogaard said. “Eben’s great at seeing where my butt goes or where I take my guy and making the cut off and getting big runs off of it; even if I don’t necessarily have the greatest block.”

Palmer Ridge coach is a team-first guy all the way, but he fully understands the value of having a back with the speed, agility and size of Martin.

“Eben definitely makes a difference ev-ery time he’s in the game,” Pulford said. “Re-gardless of what set we’re in we want to be intentional of giving Eben the ball and giv-ing him opportunities to make differences in the game.”

While Martin has yet to treat his linemen to a steak dinner, he fully understands the concept of winning and losing as a team.

“It’s very good to lead your team to vic-tory and make a difference for your team-mates and your family and your life,” said Martin, who also wrestles for Palmer Ridge.

“We come to practice every day and we work hard. I don’t like to lose. I don’t think anybody on this team likes to lose. We push so hard. When we go against our opponent we play tough and smart and never give up.”

Martin starts at middle linebacker and is one of the team leaders in tackles with 43.

The Bears close out their regular season Friday at home against Pueblo Centennial (7-2, 4-2).

“If we take care of business that will put us in third place and that should be good enough to get us in the playoffs,” Pulford said.

The Bears made the playoffs in 2010 and 2011 when they were 3A.

Rangers lose on goal in OT Lewis-Palmer soccer seasons ends with � rst round playo� loss at home By Danny Summers [email protected]

Centaurus senior forward Giovanni Nunez missed eight soccer games this season with an ankle injury. Lew-is-Palmer probably wishes he would have missed a ninth game against them.

That’s because Nunez scored both of his team’s goals during a 2-1 overtime victory over the Rangers during the Oct. 23 fi rst-round state playoff game at Don Breese Sta-dium.

Nunez’s game-winner at the 10:39 mark of overtime did not come without controversy. Centaurus senior midfi elder Eric Spangler sent a sky ball from midfi eld in the direction of Nunez, who was at about 20 yards to the right of the Rangers’ goal. From there, Nunez dribbled a couple of times and then fi red a shot past Lewis-Palmer junior goalkeeper Jack Clark.

The Lewis-Palmer players and coaches screamed foul, claiming that Nunez pushed down Lewis-Palmer senior defender Alex Allenspach to get in better position to boot the ball.

Nunez thought the contact was incidental, but was surprised the offi cials did not call him for off sides.

“I could have been off sides; I thought I was off sides,” Nunez said. “(The refs) usually call off sides on me a lot.”

Lewis-Palmer coach Brian Barkey was surprised a foul was not called on Nunez.

“It was absolutely in my opinion a foul,” Barkey said. “Everything to that point had been called tight. That was the standard that the referees set. To have that not called surprised me.”

Centaurus (9-7), the No. 22 seed in the Class 4A tour-nament, advanced to the second round of the playoffs, where it will host No. 27 Denver South (6-8-1) on Oct. 29.

Nunez had just three goals during the regular season, which ranked fi fth on the team in that department. Twice during the match with No. 11 Lewis-Palmer (10-4-2) he lay on the fi eld in obvious pain.

“My left calf and my right ankle, but I had to fi ght through it,” he said.

“(Lewis-Palmer’s) defense was great. Toward the end of the game they knew that my teammates were sending

me the ball. I just tried to stay a couple of yards in front of the defenders.”

After a scoreless fi rst half, Nunez got the Warriors on the board in the 41st minute off of an assist by junior for-ward Gabe Antunez. Antunez booted a pass about 50 feet in the air in the direction of Nunez, who shot it from about 30 yards past the outstretched arms of Clark.

Lewis-Palmer tied the score in the 56th minute when senior midfi elder Gavin Grabb found the back of the net from about 15 yards. Centaurus junior goalkeeper Ven-tura Dominguez made a valiant effort to stop the shot.

Centaurus coach Ken Ebersole said he was very con-cerned about playing Lewis-Palmer on the road.

“We didn’t like coming here,” Ebersole said. “They are excellent here. They were third in the (Pikes Peak Athletic Conference) and their losses were to No. 1 Air Academy and No. 3 Cheyenne Mountain.”

Barkey’s disappointment was obvious, but he praised his kids for a fi ne season.

“This year was much better than before, and I’m real proud of where we went and what we’ve done,” he said. “We’ve got a great group of kids returning next year that I’m excited about, and they’re very resilient and moti-vated.”
