Voters still hold the fate of legalized pot Palmer Lake town council voted 4 to 2 on Oct. 9 not to repeal Ordinance #2 By Danny Summers [email protected]

A dark, wet and windy Oct. 9 night was not about to keep 125-plus Tri-Lakes area resi-dents from jamming the Palm-er Lake Town Hall Chambers.

The meeting was fi lled with drama as the main topics of discussion were a “Request to Repeal Ordinance #2, 2014 Sale of Recreational Marijuana,” and whether a measure on the Nov. 4 ballot by an anti-marijuana group led by Chris Amenson was even legal.

In the end, after the coun-cil heard from 28 citizens and discussed things among them-selves, the status quo remained intact, thus allowing voters to decide for itself in November.

“It is too close to the Novem-ber vote to not allow people to vote on this again,” said coun-cil member Rich Kuester.

In April, a ballot measure on whether to allow the sales of le-galized recreational marijuana in Palmer Lake lost by 57 votes.

“We let the process play out

and it got changed last Novem-ber by four people; that was wrong,” said Dino Salvatori, referring to the then Palmer Lake town council to opt out of recreational sales of legalized

marijuana by a 4 to 2 vote. “And then when it went to the other process of a vote in April, there

Forest Service opens portion of Waldo burn area Sta� Report

The Pike National Forest Ranger District is temporarily opening Forest Service Road (FSR) 300, also known as Rampart Range Road. This popular tourist road is now open between Garden of the Gods and Rampart Reservoir within the Waldo Canyon Burn Area.

Forest Order 2014-16 opens the area to day use only. The public may not camp, have campfi res or park outside of designated areas. Forest visitors should refer to maps posted at entry points and within the Waldo Burn Area.

The restricted area includes the National Forest boundary above Garden of the Gods to Sand Gulch (about 2 miles south of Ram-part Reservoir). All of the National Forest System lands between the Highway 24 cor-ridor and Rampart Range Road will remain closed to entry. This closure includes Wil-liams and Waldo canyons and Wellington and Sand gulches. Also closed to entry is an area around Nichols Reservoir in the upper West Monument Creek drainage (below the Rampart Reservoir dam).

Most of the area east of Rampart Range Road will be open to public use, but camp-ing and campfi res will be prohibited. In that same area, parking will be restricted to des-ignated areas. The U.S. Forest Service has installed signs that identify the designated parking locations and these are generally in locations where use of the adjacent National Forest will not result in resource concerns. There are no designated parking locations between the Garden of the Gods park and the National Forest boundary, and then not until above the closed shooting range.

The South Rampart Shooting Range re-mains closed.

Visitors should use extreme caution and expect to encounter falling dead trees and limbs, steep slopes, stump holes and the po-tential for fl ooding in this burned area. Ac-cording to Pikes Peak District Ranger Oscar Martinez, “If you choose to go into the Waldo Canyon area, expect a changed condition. It is not the same forest that many remember prior to the 2012 wildfi re. There are many dangers so be very cautious with a plan of es-cape when the winds increase or it starts to rain. Your safety is our priority.”

Lamborn headlines meet-and-greet Several other local politicians attendedthe fun event By Danny Summers [email protected]

Colorado Congressman Doug Lamborn showed up early and stayed late for his meet-and-greet at the Tri-Lakes Center for the Arts on Oct. 8.

The former Gleneagle resident and his wife, Jeanie, were the fea-tured guests for the event that was hosted by TLCA president Michael Maddox.

“I have such a warm spot in my heart for the Tri-Lakes area,” said Lamborn, who now lives in the Pine Creek area. “This is such a thriving area of (El Paso) County and there are so many interesting people here.”

Lamborn maintains three offi c-es in Colorado, as well as his Wash-ington, D.C. offi ce that adjoins the Capitol.

When he is in the Tri-Lakes area it is not uncommon for folks to see Lamborn and Jeanie around town.

“This is a great tourism area as well,” Lamborn said. “Earlier this week my wife and I were enjoying

the Santa Fe Trail on our bicycles. We started in Monument and came to Palmer Lake, turned around and went back.

“I’m hoping the Front Range Trail is eventually extended throughout the full Front Range from Wyoming to New Mexico. That would be fantastic.”

As is the style of a meet-and-greet, Lamborn shook hands with his constituents - those for and against him - listened to their con-cerns and offered his ideas and some solutions. He also addressed the issue of possible legalized sales of marijuana in Palmer Lake.

“I was against recreational mari-juana two years ago when it was on the ballot and I still feel the same way now,” Lamborn said. “There’s a social cost that comes with it. There are people that don’t handle it well and they go backwards in life when they become so entrenched in their habit of smoking pot. They are not as creative or productive of a per-son as they can be.

“I want to look at the bigger pic-ture. I regret that there are recre-ational sales in Manitou (Springs) and I hope it doesn’t happen here. I don’t think it helps with our mili-tary base. I am not seeing a big

Tri-Lakes, Monument day at Air Force game set

For the Tribune Tri-Lakes/Monument Day at the United

States Air Force Academy is this Saturday and is against New Mexico.

“The weather is looking fantastic for this game! It is a 1:30 p.m. game with tail-gating starting at 11:30am. Tailgaiting will take place in Lot 3, space 1 and 2 and is completely free because it is sponsored by

Wells Fargo. It will be a very family friendly tailgate, hot dogs and soda type of tailgate. But participants are welcome to bring their own alcoholic beverages if they choose as they are allowed in the tailgaiting section only,” says Tri-Lakes Chamber Executive Director Terri Hayes.

“Tickets are $8, down from $23 regular-ly. They can by purchased at the chamber, open Mon-Fri 9am-5pm. Or, if they prefer the convenience of on-line purchasing,

they can do so at GoAirForceFalcons.com and enter promo code TRILAKES. Or call at 719-472-1895 x 203. Both online and phone calls to the Academy will come with a small ticket surcharge,” Hayes said.

“We are wanting to encourage Tri-Lakes residents and Chamber members to come out and experience the fun and pagentry that is an Air Force Football Game. There is a fl y over for this game, and will have the usual parachuters, falcon fl y, and of course

the fun cadet traditions like push-ups for every point. Even though they are a mili-tary base, they are our local college team and we should all be proud to wear Air Force Blue! For those who have never been on base, the gates are open to everyone for the game, so getting on base is never a problem,” added Hayes.

If you have any questions, they can call the number above or call the Chamber at 719-481-3282.

Paving done, Ackerman Overlook construction underway Crews focusing on shoulder work, � nal striping, landscaping For the Tribune

Crews completed fi nal paving this week, which means the entire expansion project has a new layer of asphalt. Work on the driving lanes and shoulders now shifts to new permanent striping, which will take

place at night and may involve 2-6 mile long nighttime lane closures. Striping work will begin at 8:30 p.m. and be completed by 5:30 a.m. the next morning.

Crews have also begun construction of the new Ackerman Overlook, which is be-ing re-located to the north of the former overlook site. Construction is expected to take about 6-8 weeks. Single lane, shoulder closures continue Drivers will still encoun-ter daytime single lane and shoulder clo-sures as workers continue work near new

guardrail and on landscaping and erosion control. Overnight and daytime closures could be in place: Sunday, 8:30 p.m. - Mon-day, 4 p.m. Monday, 8:30 p.m. - Tuesday, 4 p.m. Tuesday, 8:30 p.m. - Wednesday, 4 p.m. Wednesday, 8:30 p.m. - Thursday, 4 p.m. Thursday, 8:30 p.m. - Friday, 3 p.m. LaForet Trail upgrades A portion of the La-Foret Trail under I-25 will reopened for up to two weeks as crews have completed the new trail in the tunnel. The trail will close again for up to eight weeks later this month

so crews can complete re-construction work under the bridge. The trail is widely used by employees and residents east of I-25 to access the Santa Fe Trail, which is west of the interstate. To access the Santa Fe Trail, the recommended detour is about three miles. Travel north on Voyager Park-way to North Gate Boulevard. Then go west on North Gate Boulevard to the Santa Fe Trail entrance on the northwest corner of the I-25 interchange. All work is subject to weather and road conditions.

Ballot questions explored in debate By Vic Vela [email protected]

A televised debate on Oct. 6 laid out arguments for and against the statewide ballot questions that Colorado voters will begin deciding on this month.

The debate, sponsored by KUSA-TV, al-lowed advocates to argue their positions on the four ballot questions, beginning with the two measures that would alter the state’s Constitution.

Amendment 67 is this year’s version of the so-called “personhood” amendment, which would create legal protections for

the unborn and would essentially ban abortion in the state.

If passed, the measure would change the state’s criminal code and the Colorado Wrongful Death Act to include unborn hu-man beings.

Supporters say the measure protects pregnant women and their unborn chil-dren from harm, but opponents argue the effort goes too far.

“They say it’s about protecting preg-nant women, and in fact, it is not,” said Cathy Alderman of the group No on 67. “It would ban abortion in all cases.”

There is no legal or medical defi nition

of the term “unborn human being,” so Amendment 67 could end up providing le-gal protections for fertilized eggs, support-ers have said. And that could impact the availability of abortions and birth control.

Alderman said the changes to the crim-inal code could result in women and doc-tors being investigated for miscarriages.

Supporters of Amendment 67 were not there to make their case. Similar person-hood efforts have failed at the ballot box, going back to 2008.

The other proposed constitutional amendment on this year’s ballot, Amend-ment 68, would allow casino-style gam-

bling at the Arapahoe Park racetrack along the eastern fringe of Aurora, with new gaming tax revenue going toward K-12 education.

Supporters say the measure would bring in $114.5 million in public and char-ter school funding. Supporters say schools could use the funding and it’s a great way to obtain the money without raising taxes.

But opponents say the effort would hurt mountain town casinos — which would depress the already-existing gaming tax

Black Forest Community Club invites new, renewal memberships For the Tribune

The Black Forest Community Club (BFCC) invites community families to be-come members of this dynamic, commu-nity-focused organization. Previous press releases announced the upcoming line-up of Fall and Winter programs open to the entire Black Forest area community.

They include:-Oct. 25, 6 p.m. Oktoberfest Party,Nov. 15, 7 p.m. Veterans Day Program,Nov. 29, 6:30 p.m. Annual Christmas

Tree Lighting and Santa Arrival,Dec 13, 6 p.m., Annual Christmas Pot

Luck Dinner.All of these programs take place at the

Community Center at 12530 Black Forest

Rd. just North of Shoup. There is a wealth of information about BFCC and the Black Forest on the Club’s web site www.bfcom-munityclub.org.

There are two categories of family mem-berships open for the Community Club.

“Active” memberships are for those families residing in an area generally con-forming to the borders of the “Black Forest Preservation Plan”.

“Associate” memberships are for those living outside of that area.

“Associate” members enjoy all the privi-leges of “Active” members, (including re-duced rental rates), except for voting on Club business.

The “Active” membership geography is framed by County Line Road on the north,

by Highway 83 on the west extending south via Shoup and Howells to Old Ranch Road.

The southern border extends east from Old Ranch Rd to Black Forest Rd, then south and easterly generally following the Colorado Springs city boundary and en-compassing traditional Black Forest neigh-borhoods north of Woodmen Road and then following the Stapleton Road align-ment over to Meridian Rd, but excluding Falcon neighborhoods.

The eastern boundary runs north on Meridian Rd, (once again excluding Falcon neighborhoods), jogs over to Eastonville Rd at the Ayers Rd alignment, north on Eastonville to Evans Rd, east to Elbert Rd and north to County Line Road.

It is time for current members to renew their memberships and for those interest-ed in joining or re-joining the Community Club, to submit their membership applica-tion form to BFCC at P.O. Box 88034, Black Forest, CO 80908 along with the low an-nual fee of $15 per family.

Membership forms are available on-line at www.bfcommunityclub.org, “Be-come A Member”.

Membership applications submitted after Oct. 1, are effective immediately and extend throughout 2015.

“Active” members paid up as of Dec. 31 are eligible to vote in the Club’s annual election of Offi cers and Board Members, to be held at the Community Center on Jan.

revenues collected there — and would cre-ate casino-style gambling in communities that may not even want it there.

Katy Atkinson, who opposes the mea-sure, cited several education advocacy groups that oppose Amendment 68.

She also said it is telling that Con-gressman Mike Coffman and former state House Speaker Andrew Romanoff — two rivals locked in a heated 6th Congressional District race and who would represent the area where the racetrack sits — agree in their opposition to the measure.

“So, candidates who do not agree on much agree that this one’s a bad idea,” At-kinson said.

But Becky Brooks of Yes on 68 said 20,000 people in Aurora signed the petition to get the measure on the ballot and that hundreds of teachers statewide are back-ing the effort.

“So, to make a broad statement that this is not wanted by the people around there is just untrue,” Brooks said.

Meanwhile, Proposition 104 would re-quire school boards to negotiate collective bargaining agreements in open meetings.

Supporters say the public has a right to

know how their local schools districts are spending their money and that the mea-sure provides greater oversight of govern-ment spending.

“The goal is simply to provide transpar-ency because it’s the basis of good govern-ment,” said former state Rep. BJ Nikkel, a Republican.

But Tyler Chafee, an opponent, said he the ballot language “could apply to every single conversation that administrator has with a member of a teacher organization.” He also cautioned that school districts could end up seeing a spike in legal fees over confi dentiality issues.

“If it passes I think there are a number of things or consequences that we may not think of,” Chafee said.

The broadcast closed with a debate over Proposition 105, which would require the labeling of foods that contain genetically modifi ed organisms.

GMOs are found in the vast majority of common food crops, such as soybeans, corn and canola. The scientifi c consensus is that GMO-based foods are currently not harmful to the public’s health or the envi-ronment.

But supporters say that consumers have a right to know what’s in their foods and can make better choices about what their families consume if they know what’s in the foods they eat.

Benny and the Jets 7-year-old survivor Benny Remmer serves as Cadet for a Day at the Academy By Michael Humphreys Contributing writer

The concrete and marble of the Terrazzo shook with the passing overhead of a slow moving F22 as cadet Benjamin “Benny” Remmer led 4000 U.S. Air Force Academy cadets into midday meal in the presence of many distinguished visitors and the class of ’74, gathered for the weekend Navy comes to Air Force.

A survivor of Burkitt’s Lymphoma, 7-year-old Benny was Cadet for a Day at the Academy Oct. 3, a wish enhancement, and part of a 12 year relationship between the Academy and Make-A-Wish Colorado.

Benny, his parents Lauri and Randy Remmer and brother RJ, returned to their home in Colorado about a year ago, shortly

before Benny became sick. Lauri Remmer said the family chose Monument after working and living in Florida for four years, and that put them easily within eyesight of the Academy.

“Of course he is a big fan of the Air Force Academy,” Remmer said. “We moved back here where he can see the parachutists, all the stuff we are always driving by on I-25 and right before he got sick we were hav-ing so much fun going to the Air Force bas-ketball games. Ever since then, he’s said he wants to be a cadet.”

Benny is in remission now, and he still has a chance to be a full time cadet in 10 years or so, but for this one day, he was liv-ing his wish in a standard Air Force fl ight suit, checking hospital corners on cadet beds, training with Academy fi refi ghters, leading troops in formation, checking the fl ight line and just being a cadet.

Benny’s experience is one of four Cadet for a Day experiences each year planned and executed by Academy juniors and se-niors, said cadet in charge junior Konner

Moden of Boise, Idaho.Moden, whose father is a survivor of

lymphoma, said he knows what it is like to have a family member with a severe medial issue.

“I wanted to fi nd a way to give back,”

Moden said. “There is no better way than to be part of Cadet for a Day.”

were so many issues with that people didn’t know what to do and it lost by 57 votes.

“There’s a bunch of money sitting at the other end of town waiting to be made. I’ve made a $2 million investment to do that. And it will help the town.

Salvatori, who owns Palmer Lake Well-ness Center, added that Amendment 64 (allowing the legalized sales of recreational marijuana in the state) was passed in the November 2012 general election, and that sales should be allowed in Palmer Lake.

Salvatori was the fi rst person to address the council. He spoke for about fi ve min-utes and told the folks in the room, among other things, that “this is a not a moral is-sue. It’s about revenue.”

Salvatori went on to say that he estimat-ed he would collect $557,400 in revenue from legalized sales of marijuana for the town in the fi rst 67 days of operation, and more than $3 million a year.

He then asked the council to repeal Or-dinance No. 2 and vote marijuana in. If so, he would begin sales in 2015, at his new lo-cation — the old Pinz bowling alley along Highway 105 near the Monument border.

Numerous people lined up to speak af-ter Salvatori. Of the next 27 citizens who addressed council, 22 were anti-marijuana, while four were pro and one was neutral.

Among those who spoke was Amenson, who represents the organization Citizens Against Legalized Marijuana of Palmer Lake. Amenson’s backed bill would, with-out affecting the medical marijuana pro-tections in the Colorado Constitution, prohibit the operation of retail marijuana stores in Palmer Lake until at least Novem-ber 7, 2017, and thereafter until repealed by vote of the electorate.

Amenson stated that if the town coun-cil repealed Ordinance #2 or disallowed his ballot initiative, he and his group “… would make every effort to ensure that appropri-ate legal review is made of your activity and any appropriate legal actions are taken in the appropriate courts of law.”

Early on, several members in the audi-ence cheered one speaker with a loud ap-plause. Palmer Lake mayor Nikki McDon-ald pounded her gavel on the table and cautioned the audience to refrain from applause. She also put the police offi cers inside council chambers to be on alert and take action if need be.

Finally, after more than 90 minutes of testimony — in which many of the citizens classifi ed the legalization of marijuana sales as a “moral issue” — a question and answer period with Salvatori and discus-sion among the council took place. Then trustee John Russell put forth a motion not to repeal Ordinance No. 2. Trustee Paul Banta seconded the motion.

Eventually the town council voted 4 to 2 not to repeal Ordinance #2. Joining Russell and Banta with no votes were Jennifer Mar-

tin and Kuester. Voting yes for repeal were Cindy Allen and Trish Flake.

McDonald was asked by town attorney Larry Gaddis how she would have voted and she said she would vote not to repeal.

Before the fi reworks even began, Monu-ment mayor Marc Snyder addressed the council regarding the legalized sales of marijuana in his town, which began July 31 of this year.

Snyder was invited to speak by Flake and resident Karen Stuth — both propo-nents of having legalized sales of marijua-na in Palmer Lake.

“Karen actually called me several weeks ago,” Snyder said. “I called Mayor McDon-ald and said I would never come up without talking to you fi rst. And she said ̀ You know. I think it would be good to hear about what your experience has been.’”

Snyder, who has been mayor of Mani-tou Springs since 2009 and a former coun-cil member of the town, shared with the Palmer Lake town council - and those in the audience - about the huge impact in revenue his town has experienced in the fi rst 67 days since pot began being sold for recreational purposes by a single dispen-sary in Manitou Springs.

“The owner is reporting that the town has made more than 223,000 in tax revenue from July 31 through Oct. 7,” Snyder said.

Snyder added that about 490 automo-biles a day visit the recreational marijuana location in his town.

Snyder also said that he has always sup-ported the vote of the people, but he was

lobbying to help the folks associated with a Peaceful Palmer Lake to urge the Palmer Lake Town Council to repeal Ordinance No. 2.

“I actually proposed, motioned for, and voted for an advisory vote last November, but my council shot me down,” Snyder said. “They voted 4 to 2 to not have a vote and move forward with regulations.”

Salvatori expressed concern that if the Amenson backed initiative passed it would actually last into the November 2018, stat-ing that election issues related to Amend-ment 64 could only be voted on in even numbered years.

“And then (Amenson’s bill) would have to be voted back in to be voted out,” Sal-vatori said.

Ironically, Salvatori and his pro-mar-ijuana advocates could have their ballot measure pass with a majority in November, yet lose if the Amenson backed initiative receives a larger majority votes.

“The one with the most votes trumps the other one if they both pass,” Salvatori said.

Salvatori is not the driving force behind a Peaceful Palmer Lake project, but he is the lead spokesman none-the-less.

Near the end of the meeting, council member Martin told the audience that she has been followed in her car and harassed and she wants it to stop. Council member Allen added that she also has been ha-rassed.

names of candidates who might be inter-ested in the wish enhancement said cadet junior Danielle Kaufman, from Littleton. She said from there, the cadets discuss who would be the best match for the program and contact the family to make arrange-ments.

“We let them know we want to give back as much as we can. And it’s an awesome opportunity. We do everything we can to

just give them the best day we can and for us it is really humbling and rewarding,” Kaufman said.

In addition to all the activities the cadets planned for Benny and his family, cadets also painted a mural in the cadet dormi-tory. The mural titled, Chronicles of Benny is based on one of Benny’s favorite things, The Chronicles of Narnia.

Benny said he hopes to one day fl y jets just like the one that thundered overhead during the midday formation.

“I’m doing fun stuff,’ Benny said. “I got to go to the fi re station and squirt the hose. I got to pretend to sky dive and now I’m eating lunch.”

We dropped valuable tools, somewhere along the line

It didn’t have anything to do with Sec-ond Amendment rights, self-protection, violence, or even the possibility of vio-lence — but when I was little, just about everyone in my Colorado hometown carried a knife around in their pocket, or purse, or hanging from a chain around their neck. I miss those days, not only for their utility, but for their innocence.

We all carried pocket knives, or pen knives, key chain knives, or buck knives on our belts in leather scabbards. At noon, at the high school I went to, you would of-ten see half-a-dozen, to 20, playing games with said knives. No expulsions, no zero-tolerance, no labels, no fear, and relatively no concern about how we would turn out, as knife-game-playing adults.

I know the world is different, but you know, I am nostalgic.We picked up the habit at early age. With our fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, uncle or aunts providing our fi rst one. Sometimes, very early. I think I remember

Mike Edwards sporting a two-blade Case used for digging in ant hills in some of my earliest memories. He was a year older than me but moved from the house across the alley when I was six or seven.

Some of us would experiment with different types, or styles during our lives, never being pinned down by convention, or conviction, or commitment. Others would settle on one style distinctly, and early, and carry it for life.

My dad had single-blade, locking, bone-handled Case with burn chips in

blade from accidentally hitting still “hot” wires under the dash in automotive wiring puzzles that he carried (as far I am able to fi gure out) his entire life.

Edena Akin fl irted for a time danger-ously, with a wicked, pearl-handled, switch blade, that she regaled seventh- and eighth-grade boys with, in the prime of pubescence.

Years later, when in high school, and working at the hardware store that sold any manner of pocket knife, (with Bucks, and Old Timers, Case, Imperials and Schrades, just to name a few,) I came to associate personalities with the knife they carried. Many bought them there at Taylor’s, but even if they didn’t, they often spent a fair amount of time back at the oil stone on top of the bolt counter sharpen-ing them.

In the back room, far enough away

I’m going to miss seeing O’Dowd and ‘Geivo’ around the ball park

I heard the news the morning of Oct. 8 that Colorado Rockies general manager Dan O’Dowd resigned his post after 15 - mostly disastrous - seasons with the club.

Following O’Dowd out the door was Bill Geivett, the Rockies’ assistant general man-ager, who also gave his notice of departure to principal team owner Richard Monfort.

I know O’Dowd and Geviett somewhat well and feel a little sad to see them out of a job. Over the years they were always acces-sible if I called or emailed them for a story, or to just touch base and see how life was treating them. But with any relationship comes a bit of strain at times.

I’ve known Geivett, or “Geivo” - as he is referred to by many - for nearly 20 years. We fi rst met when he was working for the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 1990s and I was a sports writer for the San Bernardino Sun. He was the Dodgers’ assistant general manager in those days and he would often frequent the club’s high Class A minor league team in San Bernardino. I would also run into Geivo at Dodger Stadium when I would cover games.

I will never forget the time Geivo brought ex-Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda with him to a minor league game in Lake Elsinore, where San Bernardino was playing one night. For two hours I sat with

Geivo and Lasorda talking baseball. Actu-ally, Lasorda did most of the talking. We just listened to the legend.

Geivo and I have a mutual friend in Bill Mahoney, the long-time sports information director at the University of California-Santa Barbara. Mahoney has known Geivo back to his playing days at UCSB in the mid 1980s. Geivo was drafted by the then California Angels as a third baseman and advanced as high as Double-A as a player before calling it quits.

One summer in 1988 Mahoney and I traveled around the nation watching base-ball games in all sorts of different parks and cities. Geivo’s name came up on more than one occasion. So when I met Geivo 10 years later I felt as if I already knew him.

Geivo is a good man. Just so you know, I also think O’Dowd is a good man. Later in

this column I will share a personal O’Dowd story that will blow you away. But I digress.

Geivo was/is more personable to talk baseball and life with than O’Dowd. Geivo is like your buddy that you battle each week in fantasy football. You can be real with him, and he will be real back.

He was extremely loyal - probably to a fault - to O’Dowd and really did try to do what was best for the Rockies. But the results are what the results are and most of the time over the last 14 years things have been pretty tough to stomach at Coors Field.

In 2007 and 2009 the Rockies caught lightning in a bottle and stunned the baseball world with amazing runs to the post season. They advanced all the way to the World Series in 2007, where they were swept in four games by the Red Sox. In 2009, the Rockies lost in the National League Division Series in fi ve games to the Philadelphia Phillies.

O’Dowd and Geivo really did try to make the best decisions with player personnel at every level of the Rockies’ organization. The problem is that most of the decisions they made backfi red.

rash of military problems, but if there are that’s going to make the Pentagon think twice about putting more people here. I don’t want to see that happen. I would hate to see a problem with our military person-nel because marijuana is more freely avail-able.”

Lamborn added that he would like to see the County grow its energy resources.

“That’s the one thing we’re missing,” he said. “We have that up north and out west. I’m going to work in Congress to introduce the concept of energy enterprise zones where counties that haven’t participated in the energy boom in this country would have some tax cuts available for compa-nies that produce energy, or just bring headquarters and jobs to an area.”

Lamborn was joined at the event by several other local politicians. The list in-cluded Colorado State Senator Owen Hill, El Paso County Commissioner Darryl Glenn, Palmer Lake mayor Nikki McDon-ald, and Monument mayor Rafael Domin-guez.

WildWood Station, a local blue grass-style band, provided the entertainment.

Glenn talked about his continued effort of working closely with fi re mitigation in the Black Forest region.

“Last year’s fi re could have been a lot worse,” Glenn said. “We got lucky.

“We want to reeducate people on con-tinuing mitigation efforts. Neighbor help-ing neighbor. Nobody from the govern-ment is going to come in and do it.

“I think we learned a lot after (the Waldo Canyon Fire of 2012) about coordinating response times and working together. Gov-ernment’s role even improved there.”

Glenn hosted a town hall meeting on Oct. 11 at the Kit Carson Riding Range in Black Forest regarding Equine Care and Protection Concerns in the Black Forest area.

Glenn addressed ways to deal with bet-ter lines of communication to prevent fu-ture incidents like the recent highly publi-cized situation when 10 horses and several llamas were removed from a Black Forest property and the owner cited for animal cruelty.

Glenn, who has been in offi ce since 2010 and is running for reelection, has

never been one to shy away from issues concerning his area of infl uence in the Tri-Lakes area.

“Back in 2010 when I fi rst ran for this seat I spent three weeks walking Palmer Lake; door to door,” said Glenn, a 1988 graduate of the Air Force Academy, where he was a three-time power-lifting cham-pion. “People were looking at me like I’m crazy. But whether we agree or disagree I am here to listen to you and to help you.”

Glenn disagrees with those who sup-port legalizing recreational marijuana in Palmer Lake as a last mean’s to save the town from - by some accounts - what ap-pears to be bankruptcy within a few years.

“I think that is very narrow,” Glenn said. “You might want to look at your business model if you think the only thing you can do to raise money is to legalize a drug that is illegal federally.

“Everybody has their own issues and I worry when people get too stuck on one is-sue. They need to think about other ways to be creative.”

Dominguez also weighed in on the marijuana issue on how it might affect his neighboring town if the drug is made legal in Palmer Lake for recreational use.

“Marijuana is available anyway, and if you consider how dangerous that drug may be compared to others, it’s not that big of a deal,” Dominguez said “That’s not to say I would legalize it.

“The way Monument is set up, our or-dinance makes it so restrictive to have le-galized sales of pot I don’t think it will ever happen here.”

Dominguez also cited that Palmer Lake and Monument are similar, yet different, in many ways.

“What people like about our area is be-ing at peace,” said Dominguez, who at-tended Palmer Lake’s `Main Street 101’ class on Oct. 11. “You go to Colorado Springs and there’s too much traffi c. But you’re at peace here in Palmer Lake or in Monument. It just makes it an easier envi-ronment to be a part of.

“But Palmer Lake seems to be a little skittish on development. I’m not sure they know where they want to go. My percep-tion is that not a lot of residents of Palmer Lake encourage development. Monument is not afraid of development. We encour-age development. It complements the community we already have.”

Palmer Lake mayor Nikki McDonald also weighed in on her town’s marijuana issue.

“Even if it gets voted in it doesn’t mean we’re getting any money because TABOR has to be voted on,” she said. “Anything that has to do with taxes has to be voted on in the November election.

“Some of the people on the side of mari-juana in our town are over the edge. They make it look nasty.”

McDonald added that she attended the meet-and-greet to get know Lamborn.


Lamborn

from the red dogs laying on worn Astro-turf, right at armpit level for many folks, the oil stone sat in a foot-long metal case, with a can of 3-in-1 nearby. Usually the stone was smooth side up, but you could fl ip it to rough, if your piece was really in bad shape. The oil-soaked spongy material would help

on the fl ip. I don’t know for sure how many hours were ‘wasted’ badgering Merton over at the check-in stand (or at the Micro Fiche) in the name of “knife sharpening,” but it was substantial. Today, the Labor Department would probably require reporting it in the “under-employed” number.

You could tell a lot about a person, by the kind of knife he, or she, carried. Merton himself, always had, and was willing to loan briefl y, a very small two-blade Old Timer. It was a common type, carried by many in the area (we probably sold 10 two-blade

Old Timers, for every KA-Bar or lock blade Buck, but we moved a signifi cant number of those around Christmas time,) and was lost or damaged on occasion, requiring replace-ment.

I learned about the possibility of “little man syndrome” as slight fellows, driving huge pickup trucks, regularly sharpened seven-inch spear point Gerber survival knives that would have made Napoleon Bonaparte proud. I learned of utilitarians that had trouble dropping an edge on beat up, disjointed Imperials from the dime store,

and all personalities in between.Today, in a time when I don’t often carry

the small, brass-clad, walnut inlaid, single-lock blade I’ve had for more than 30 years, it is because I might need to go to the Court House and don’t want to mess with security, or I’m traveling and would lose it (or create an international incident) at the air port. I still long for the innocence, and utility of those long-gone days gone by.

It’s not the knife I care about, but the util-ity, and especially— the innocence.


Carrigan

In O’Dowd’s case it was the ill-fated signings of pitchers like Mike Hampton and Denny Neagle. O’Dowd also failed when he tried to sign Matt Holliday to a long-term deal. Holliday fl at-out told the Rockies two years before he was a free agent that he would not re-sign with the club when he was fi rst eligible for free agency. He said he had no intention of being a Rockies player any longer than he was forced.

To O’Dowd’s credit, he traded Holliday to the Oakland Athletics organization during the 2009 season and got prospect Carlos Gonzalez and closer Huston Street.

But, as luck would have it, Gonzalez

always seems to be hurt. Meanwhile. Hol-liday won a World Series with the Cardinals in 2011 and is playing in his fourth con-secutive National League Championship Series with the club.

Geivo’s biggest mistake was following O’Dowd down the plank. It also didn’t help that his offi ce was basically in the team’s locker room, making players very uncom-fortable that he was constantly in their space.

Now to my personal O’Dowd story. One of my beats when I was a Gazette reporter was the Sky Sox. I covered every home game for four seasons and also covered dozens of Rockies games.

Right before the start of the 2004 season, KOA-850 radio sportscaster Mike Rice was in Colorado Springs to see some of the prospects. I told Rice - confi dentially - that the Rockies’ management does not seem to

have the same plan from year to year. Rice - I discovered about a month later - told O’Dowd that I was being critical of him and the organization.

O’Dowd showed up at a Sky Sox game in late April 2004. After the eighth inning we both happened to go to the restroom at the same time. While in the confi nes of the restroom, O’Dowd - in not so pleasant language - told me how disappointed he was with me and how I should never burn a bridge in baseball. He then washed up and stormed out to his automobile to head back to Denver.

I walked with him to the parking lot and tried to explain that what Rice told him was not the whole story. O’Dowd slammed his car door in my face and drove off as I stood stunned in the cold dark night.

O’Dowd returned to - what was then - Sky Sox Stadium the next night and

apologized to me for his words and behav-ior. He said the way he treated me and the language he used did not resemble the kind of person he was. I forgave him, of course, and we moved on and had a pleasant relationship. The restroom incident never came up again.

One of the most disturbing parts of O’Dowd and Geivo’s departure is that they used the Sky Sox as pawns before turning in their resignations. They ended the player development contract between the Rockies and Sky Sox a few weeks ago, heading to what they believe to be greener pastures in Albuquerque. The 21-year marriage is over.

The Sky Sox are now a Milwaukee Brew-ers affi liate, and I think that is a pretty good thing with all that has happened.

As far as O’Dowd and Geivo are con-cerned, I wish them the best and hope they have peace.

Traveling down those old roads When we travel around, we see new

work on the roads quite often. But how often do we think about where our roads have been changed?

For example north of Colorado Springs the Interstate is now six lanes. Fifty years ago it was not even where it is today. Did you know that?

When the Air Force Academy was built they moved the highway east. It was a

pretty new road even then. Just 10 years before that it was only two lanes! You can still see parts of it as you drive south, if you know what to look for, on the Academy. At the north end of the air fi eld, to the right of the highway you can see two strips of high-way, slowly taken over by weeds and grass. In 1959 that was the new Interstate 25.

Prior to the modernizing of U.S. 85-87 into I-25 it was a strip of two lane concrete.

Just west of the Baptist Road exit a bit of it is visible. The road from there to Monu-ment is on that old concrete. Before the 1950s the road that is now 105 from Monu-ment to Larkspur was the main road. In the 1920s that road was modernized with concrete paving. Prior to that, it was a dirt

TCA Titans have a festive homecoming�e Classical Academy went all out again this yearBy Danny [email protected]

The Classical Academy’s homecoming was as festive event as usual this year with celebrations ranging from a cookout, bonfire and the smashing of an old car with a sledge hammer, to the football game with Evergreen.

The events took place the week leading up to the Titans’ football game with Evergreen, which resulted in a 17-14 loss. TCA junior quarterback Austin Bervig completed 10 of 15 passes for 137 yards and two touchdowns. Bervig’s father, David, is the team’s head coach.

TCA’s football team is 2-5 this season, 0-1 in the Class 3A South Central League.

El Paso County Parks honored with the Colorado Lottery’s Starburst Award Praised for fast work in Black Forest Regional Park a� er � re, � oods For the Tribune

El Paso County Parks was honored

Tuesday during the regular Board of County Commissioners meeting. The Starburst Award from the Colorado Lottery was given to recognize El Paso County Parks’ efforts to restore Black Forest Regional Park after the fire and subsequent floods.

“The County took the initiative to jump start things just one year after the Black Forest Fire,” said Dawna Calla-han, Colorado Lottery Community Re-lations Specialist as she presented the award.

The County pursued funding from a variety of sources, including a Great Outdoors Colorado grant, to restore the park.

“Restoring the park after such a devastating fire is very important to the Black Forest community,” said Tim Wolken, Director of El Paso County Community Services.

“It’s taken thousands of hours of vol-unteer work and many donations. I’m pleased to say the park is in pretty good shape all things considered.”

Colorado Lottery funds go to parks, recreation and protection of open space. In the past 30 years, El Paso County has received more than $172 million. More than $2.5 billion has been used across Colorado.

“I’m grateful for the investment in our communities,” said Commissioner Vice Chair Amy Lathen.

The Starburst Awards began in 1992. Nominations are reviewed and win-ning projects are chosen based on the creativity of the project, economic and social impact to the community, and whether the project achieved its goal.

This is not the first time the county has received the award for Excellence in the Use of Lottery Funds. The County received the award in 2011 for The Pin-eries Open Space Master Plan and in 2010 for development of Stratmoor Val-ley Community Park.

The County also received the award in 2013 the El Paso County Parks Master Plan, a guiding document for manage-ment of parks, trails and open space.

Colorado community college system honors LambertBy Danny [email protected]

Colorado State Senator Kent Lambert, R- Colorado Springs, received the Colo-rado Community Colleges Champion Star award. The award is presented to legisla-tors who champion the causes of the com-munity college system.

“Colorado’s community colleges are vital to the economic future of Colorado,” Lambert said. “They provide an invalu-able service to students across the state by providing a high-quality learning environ-ment at reasonable and affordable costs. I am truly honored to be given this presti-

gious award.”Sen. Lambert was specifically chosen

for the award due to his work on the Joint Budget Committee and his works towards securing $10 million for building renova-tion at Red Rocks Community College.

Earlier this year, Lambert also received the Legislator’s Award from the University of Colorado system.

Lambert represents Colorado State Sen-ate District 9, which serves the Tri-Lakes area and the Ute Pass area. He serves on the Joint Budget Committee, the Senate Appropriation Committee, the Joint Emer-gency Flood Committee, and is Chairman of the Joint Legislative Preparation, Re-sponse and Recovery Committee.

road that followed the railroad from Palmer Lake to Greenland, and on to Larkspur.

In 1926 they surveyed the present two lane road, saving more than a mile be-tween Palmer Lake and Larkspur. The new concrete road was much smoother, and it lasted some eighty years before it was repaved. The old concrete is still under that paving. I-25 from Monument follows an old road up the hill which only served County Line Road. The Interstate from Larkspur to Castle Rock is more or less where the old highway was, but before 1930 much of it was on the other side of the railroad tracks. North of Castle Rock it followed US-85 to Sedalia and Littleton, before going up Broadway and Lincoln into downtown

Denver.In north Colorado Springs the old road

was quite different too. It wandered around quite a bit, and Nevada was not the way out of town before the 1930’s, it was Cascade. West up Ute Pass has changed a couple times. South out of town changed when I-25 was built, but east of Colorado Springs, US 24 is still pretty much as it was as far back as the 1920’s.

Out east through Calhan, Ramah, Simla, and Matheson, the road has been moved. It used to follow the Rock Island railroad to Limon. It now goes around some of the towns, but not Calhan. Businesses on the old highway either closed or moved with it. As traffic has changed, many of the cafes and gas stations have closed, but some of the old buildings can still be seen.

If we were not zipping along so fast, many reminders of the old roads can be found here and there, even where you do not expect to see them!

SALOME’S STARSFOR THE WEEK OF OCT 13 2014

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) A changing situation calls for a change in plans. Although you might prefer the schedule you had already worked up, you could do better by agreeing to make the needed adjustments.

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) That once seemingly rock-solid proposition you favored might be hiding some serious flaws. Take time to check it more care-fully and question anything that seems out of kilter.

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Finish up those lingering tasks so that you can then arrange to spend some time in quiet reflection. This will go a long way in re-storing both your physical and spiritual energies.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) A family situation could heat up and boil over unless you deal with it as soon as possible. Try to persuade other family members to work with you to help cool things down.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Cheer up, Kitty Cat! That low feeling will begin to ebb by midweek, and you should be back in the social swirl in time for the weekend. A long-postponed deal could be starting up again.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Going too fast and too far on too little knowledge could be risky. Best to slow down and check for any gaps in your information. It’s what you don’t know that could hurt you.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Trying to make peace among quarreling family members, friends or col-leagues can be tough. Expect some resistance, maybe even some expressions of resentment. But stay with it.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Changing your mind doesn’t have to be a problem once you realize that you might have good and sufficient cause to do so. Make your explanations clear and complete. Good luck.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) An unkept prom-ise can be irksome and easily raise the Archer’s ire. But instead of getting into a confrontation, take time to check why someone you relied on came up short.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) A new workplace distraction creates an unnecessary delay. The sooner you deal with it, the better for all concerned. A personal matter also should be attended to as soon as possible.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Once again, the Aquarian’s gift for applying both practical and creative methods to resolve a situation makes all the difference. Personal relationships thrive during the weekend.

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) A relationship appears to be losing its once-strong appeal for reasons that might be different from what you think. An open and honest talk could lead to some surprising revelations.

BORN THIS WEEK: Your life is bound by your belief that character counts more than anything else.

Anderson to speak on Rankin Scott Kelly Oct. 16 at Palmer Lake Town Hall Event is sponsored by the Palmer Lake Historical Society

Sta� report Join the Palmer Lake Historical Society

on Thursday, Oct. 16 at 7 p.m. at the Palmer Lake Town Hall, 28 Valley Crescent, for an evening with retired former El Paso County

Sheriff John Wesley Anderson.Anderson will be speaking on Rankin

Scott Kelly, who was born July 6, 1826 in Houlton, Aroostook County, Maine. At the age of three, his mother drowned, and he was raised by his father, and an older sister and brother.

When Kelly was 14 he got into a fi ght with his sister’s fi ancée, over a boating accident involving his sister, then ran away believing he had killed the man.

On June 5, 1860, at the age of 33, he ar-rived by wagon train in Colorado City, while it was still part of the Kansas Territory. Like his father, Kelly was a stonemason, and a carpenter, as well as a teamster, and helped haul a sawmill from Johnson County, driv-ing a team of oxen across the Santa Fe Trail, to build El Paso County’s fi rst sawmill. Kelly delivered the fi rst load of cut lumber to Col-orado City, which had been established the previous year as a gold mining supply town.

He was described as being tall, slender, with piercing blue eyes, blonde hair, and a dashing manner. On Feb. 28, 1861, the Colorado Territory was established, El Paso County was created as one of the original 17 counties, and Kelly served as its fi rst Sheriff (1861-1867).

This program is free. Free refreshments will be served following the program.

SPORTSEvans sets the table for Rangers’ success on volleyball courtJunior setter Mariah Evans has verbally committed to North CarolinaBy Danny [email protected]

The Lewis-Palmer High School volley-ball team is nearly perfect this season. A big reason why is the play of junior setter Mariah Evans.

Evans is arguably the team’s best all-around player among a group of super-stars that includes all-American outside hitter Alexa Smith.

Evans has already verbally commit-ted to play for the University of North Carolina, which is ranked seventh in the nation. Smith is committed to Purdue, which is ranked 55th.

“Mariah is very competitive and such a strong leader on the court,” said Lewis-Palmer coach Susan Odenbaugh. “She’s played volleyball for a long time and has a very high volleyball IQ, and she under-stand the game so well.”

With Evans’ help, Lewis-Palmer is 16-0 and ranked No. 1 in the state among all classifications. The Rangers are ranked fifth in the nation by MaxPreps and have lost just one set all season.

Lewis-Palmer runs a 5-1 rotation, which means that Evans rarely leaves the court. She leads the team in assists (433), total serves (255) and aces (44), and is third in digs (69). She even has 32 kills.

“She has a real deceptive attack from the front row,” Odenbaugh said. “She does a lot of dumping.

“And she is very strong as a server.”Odenbaugh cited a match against

Northglenn early in the season in which Evans served 24 consecutive points - in-

cluding 11 aces - after Northglenn began the match with a side out.

“That was a team thing, too,” Oden-baugh said. “The whole team played the whole set without making a mistake and Mariah just kept serving the ball strong.”

Evans, a Gleneagle resident who plays club ball for Monument-based Colorado Juniors, began her high school career at Colorado Springs Christian School. She played for her mother, Jennifer, her freshman year as the Lions went 18-9 and advanced to the second round of the Class 3A state playoffs.

Evans started off as a libero with CSCS, but moved to her natural position of setter when her older sister, Morgan, suffered an injury. Morgan now plays for

the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs as a setter.

Mariah Evans was second on CSCS in assists and led the team in digs and serve receive as freshman.

Evans, who has been setting since she was eight and playing club ball since she was 10, decided to transfer to Lew-is-Palmer in the spring of her freshman year, primarily for academic reasons. She finished the school year at CSCS and joined the Lewis-Palmer volleyball team in the summer of 2013, but was forced to sit out the first half of the regular season due to the Colorado High School Activi-ties Association transfer rule.

“That was hard, but I was still able to practice with the varsity,” Evans said.

Evans stayed in game form by playing for the school’s junior varsity team until she was eligible.

“I felt like I was part of the team from the very beginning,” Evans said. “We just gelled right away.”

Once Evans was eligible for varsity play she shared setting duties with senior Abi Bartalo. On the evening of Nov. 9, 2013, she joined her teammates in hoist-ing the golden volleyball at the Denver Coliseum after Lewis-Palmer defeated Air Academy in straight sets for the 4A state championship.

“Having Mariah come in has really

helped me in so many aspects of my game because she’s my age and I can always go up and talk to her,” said Tylar Fugate, a defensive specialist for the Rangers.

Fugate added that Evans is very vocal on the court.

“Mariah calls the plays and sets the hitters and Emily McCurley and I tell the hitters where they should hit and Mariah will tell us if we need to make our passes better,” Fugate said.

“Mariah pushes herself and has so much energy and we all just have so much fun.”

The Rangers have already played many of the state’s top teams, but on Oct. 16 they host No. 3 Cheyenne Mountain (13-1) in a winner-take-all for the Pikes Peak Athletic Conference championship.

“We base our practices on each op-ponent we have at that time,” Evans said. “We don’t get ahead of ourselves and we know we have so much more that we need to accomplish.

“We have so many high-level athletes on this team we don’t need to push our-selves. When I get on the court I know that everybody will give everything they can.”

And you can rest assured that Evans is very capable wherever she plays on the court.

Robinett’s RBI single sends Discovery Canyon back to state softball tournament�under advance to state for ��h time in six seasonsBy Danny [email protected]

In recent weeks, Discovery Canyon senior second baseman Emily Robinett has en-dured personal tragedy and adversity within her family. Her Thunder softball teammates have rallied around her to help ease her pain.

Robinett paid them back in a big way on Oct. 11 when her bases-loaded single through the right side of the Berthoud infield with two outs in the 11th inning scored senior Emily Selby from third base and ended the marathon that vaulted the Thunder to a 3-2 victory and into the state softball playoffs for a fifth time in six seasons.

“Softball has always been my escape from anything outside of softball,” Robinett said with a smile. “It really helps to do it here and be with my girls and with my team.”

The Thunder (19-2) had not played an extra inning game all season, so as inning after inning passed into the late afternoon and the temperature dropped, the anticipa-tion that drama could unfold at any time was running through the minds of the 300-plus fans in attendance.

“You just go up there every at bat know-ing that it’s just another at bat,” said Robi-nett, who led the Thunder offense with four hits in six at bats in the game. “You just have to get in your routine and get in the habit that you’ve always been in and figure out the pitcher and her pitches.

“I was looking to hit the ball on the ground, especially with two outs. Just get it past the infield into the green and make them make the play.”

The Thunder opens the 16-team Class 4A state playoffs Oct. 16 at the Aurora Sports Complex.

Discovery Canyon hosted the four-team regional and began their day with a 7-4 vic-tory over Mead at Four Diamands Sports Complex at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. Robinett was 1 for 4 with a pair of RBIs. Also with two RBIs was Destiny Lackey.

Thunder senior right-hander McKenzie Surface pitched the first six innings before giving way to freshman Corah Price in the seventh to close out the game. Surface struck out 13 Mead batters and allowed two runs

and four hits while throwing 73 pitches.Mead ended up defeating Berthoud, 12-

2, later in the day to claim the second spot from regional and advance to the state play-offs.

The game with Berthoud took place on Discovery Canyon’s home field. Surface’s two-run single in the first inning gave the Thunder an early lead.

Surface allowed solo home runs in the fourth and seventh innings as the game went to extra innings.

Surface went the whole way in Game 2, throwing a whopping 161 pitches, while striking out 19 and allowing five hits.

“My arm is a little noodly right now,” Sur-face said with a smile. “But that’s okay. There was no way I was going to come out of this game.”

Selby worked her way around the bases to score the winning run in a somewhat in-teresting way. She singled under the glove of the Berthoud shortstop to begin the inning,

advanced to second when the Berthoud pitcher threw high to second base to try and force her on a sacrifice bunt by Kailee Clark.

“The ball hit me in the head,” Selby said with a smile.

Selby then moved to third on a close play on a sacrifice fly hit to center field by Lackey, and then easily scored on Robinett’s single.

“I saw (Robinett’s) hit to right field and I just ran like a bat,” said Selby, who was mobbed by her teammates after crossing home plate.

Thunder coach Tanya Ramsay, who is 32 weeks pregnant with twin girls, said her team is ready to make a strong run at state.

“We have the true definition of a team,” said Ramsay, whose husband, Aaron, is the Thunder’s third base coach. “You see a lot of different kids doing a lot of different things. That’s what’s gotten us this far this year.

“We have battled all year. We’re just real excited for next weekend and we would love to do something big up there (in Aurora).”

Walker leading the way for Palmer Ridge �eld hockey teamAshley Walker leads the team in scoring; the Bears are ranked third in the stateBy Danny [email protected]

The Palmer Ridge field hockey team is once again among the top squads in the state. A big reason why is the play - and leadership - of right midfielder Ashley Walker.

“She’s just a super athlete,” said Palm-er Ridge coach Paul Lewis about Walker. “She’s a physical athlete and she’s much stronger than most of the girls out there.”

Walker, a senior, is a three-year starter. The team also includes players from Lew-is-Palmer. Walker leads the Bears in goals (10), assists (13) and points (33).

Walker is a co-captain with senior Courtney Child and junior Edie Statham.

“Our strength is definitely our defense,” Walker said. “I think our midfield line is re-ally strong, too.”

Walker said that even though she leads the team in scoring, it’s not necessarily drawn up that way.

“There are a few plays that I am more involved in, but not everything revolves around me,” Walker said. “We’re more team oriented, so everyone gets a shot.”

Sophomore Emily Munn is second on the team in goals with nine, followed by Shannon Snediker’s eight.

Palmer Ridge is 8-3-2 overall, 7-2-2 in the Colorado Field Hockey League. The Bears are ranked third in the state behind Colorado Academy and Kent Denver (both ahead of them in league). That means - as

it stands now - the Bears would host a first round quarterfinals playoff game either Oct. 18 or 20.

The Bears have two regular season games remaining against Cheyenne Moun-tain and Cherry Creek. The Bears played Cheyenne Mountain to a scoreless tie ear-lier in the season.

Walker’s assessment of Palmer Ridge being a defensive oriented team is backed by the club’s eight shutouts. Three other times it allowed just one goal in a match.

Palmer Ridge has advanced to the state semifinals three consecutive years. The Bears were state runner-ups in 2012 to Colorado Academy, which has won the last two state championships.

“I think we definitely are capable of win-ning (the state title), we just have to put the ball in the net,” Walker said. “We have to finish our goals.”

Walker is also a standout lacrosse play-er, where she is a four-year starter for the school. She was second on the team in goals (39) as a junior.

Walker’s younger sister, Ali, is also a member of the lacrosse team.

“In lacrosse you are allowed to be a lot more on the body (of an opponent), but in field hockey you can’t,” she said. “Field hockey is still as aggressive, but not quite as aggressive as lacrosse.

“I like lacrosse better, probably because I’ve been playing it longer and I feel more comfortable playing lacrosse.”

Lewis believes Walker could be an even better field hockey player if she focused more on the sport.

“She’s a workhorse,” Lewis said. “She has the mindset that she’s never going to get beat and she’s going to find a way to win no matter the situation.”

Fog, mist and cold no problem for Discovery Canyon in 48-7 victory at Woodland Park � e No. 1 ranked � under improves to 7-0 By Danny Summers [email protected]

When Discovery Canyon senior fullback Alex Weber went down with a season-end-ing arm injury a few weeks ago nobody in the Thunder football camp panicked. That’s because talented senior Blake Lawrie was waiting in the wings.

Lawrie rushed for a career-high 141 yards and three touchdowns on just eight carries to lead the state’s No. 1 ranked Class 3A team to a 48-7 victory on a damp, foggy and spooky Oct. 10 night in Woodland Park.

“I got my chances this time and my team did a great job of blocking perfectly and we all seized the opportunities,” Lawrie said.

Lawrie and the Thunder didn’t take long to get on the scoreboard. On its fi rst posses-sion, Lawrie took the handoff from senior quarterback Andrew Hall and scampered 40 yards to the end zone.

Lawrie gave the Thunder a two-touch-down lead with four minutes remaining in the quarter when he busted into the end zone on a 1-yard carry.

After a Woodland Park turnover on its next possession, Discovery Canyon tailback Scott Betzer scored on a 1-yard touchdown run to put the Thunder up 20-0 with three minutes to go.

The Thunder completed its fi rst-quarter

barrage when Hall hooked up with senior

two-way star Dylan Draper on a 35-yard

touchdown with about a min-

ute to go. It was Draper’s fi rst offensive touchdown of the season. He scored on a pick-6 from his linebacker position earlier this year.

“I’d like us to put the ball in the air a little more,” Draper said with as smile.

The Thunder scored twice more in the second quarter on a Lawrie 38-yard touch-down run, and a 31-yard touchdown pass from Hall (3 of 6 for 74 yards) to Betzer with about three minutes remaining. At that point the mandatory running clock was implemented.

Hall showered Lawrie with comple-ments after the game.

“Blake didn’t miss a step,” Hall said. “He’s stepped right in for Alex and has done ex-actly what we asked him to do. He always gives us 100 percent, and we expect that from Blake. The performance shows how well he’s practicing and how well he’s do-ing.”

Discovery Canyon pulled most of its fi rst string for the second half as Woodland Park (2-5, 1-1) was clearly outmanned.

“In inclement weather it’s the team that can react best and keep doing what they know they can do,” Lawrie said.

The Thunder is 7-0 overall, and 2-0 in the South Central League. It has scored 40 or more points fi ve times, and 30-plus in its other two games.

“There has to be a balance with how we prepare our guys for one week and how you motivate them for the entire season,” said Discovery Canyon coach Shawn Mitchell. “We’ve talked to our guys about three sea-sons. The non-league season of fi ve games; the regular season of fi ve games, and if we’re fortunate enough the postseason.

“We started off talking to our guys last week about the fi ve opponents coming up and we have to do really well this season. We’re trying to balance preparation for this week as well as preparation for the end of the season.”

Mitchell is the only coach Discovery has ever had. He was hired by the school in 2007 from Harrison, where he was the head coach for seven seasons and an assistant for fi ve.

After struggling - in terms of wins and losses - in his fi rst few years at Discovery Canyon, the Thunder has been ranked among the best in the state since the start of the 2012 season, compiling an overall record of 25-4. Discovery Canyon also won two of its fi nal three games in 2011.

Coincidentally, Discovery Canyon plays at Harrison Oct. 17 at 7 p.m. It will be the fi rst time Mitchell will return to Harrison as the coach of Discovery Canyon.

“We’ve played some 7-on-7 games down there, but this will be my fi rst time back since 2006 when I was the head coach,” Mitchell said. “I still have a lot of good friends down there, including the athletic director Dave Hogan. And I’ve gotten to know their head coach Al Melo pretty well over the years.

“I still have a connection down there and to that community.”

Discovery Canyon and Canon City are both tied atop the league standings. The two schools play Oct. 31 at Canon City in the regular-season fi nale in what could de-cide the league champion.

Canon City (5-2) has scored 40 or more points six times this season.
