Ranger District bans target practice because of abuses, close calls By Rob Carrigan [email protected]

District 38 mill levy will drop slightly in 2015 � at should be good news for area homeowners By Danny Summers [email protected]

Lewis-Palmer School District 38 assistant superintendent Cheryl Wangeman knows that whenever any word associated with “tax” comes up in a conversation, hair stands up on the back of people’s heads and some folks might even grab for pitch forks and form mobs.

That’s why she felt it necessary to include information on the mill levy at last month’s Board of Edu-cation presentation.

“Nobody likes to hear that they might be paying more taxes,” Wangeman said. “I felt it was im-portant to point out where we are.

“Mill levies go up and down based on assessed property val-ues.”

Better golf is just down the road.

Man found dead in car at Monument Safeway McLean, 62, was found deceased at scene on July 5 By Danny Summers [email protected]

Monument Police lieutenant Steve Burk confirmed that a man — 62-year-old Joseph McLean — was found

dead in his car the morning of July 5 in the Safeway park-ing lot near Highway 105.

McLean was first spotted by Safeway employees about 7 a.m.

The Monument police and fire departments were dis-patched to the scene.

Firefighters broke into to the vehicle, only to find McLean deceased.

The El Paso County coroner eventually took the body

for further examination.“That’s about all we know at this point,” Burk said.

“There doesn’t appear to be any foul play.”Burk added that the death, while not suspicious, re-

mains under investigation until the coroner’s office re-leases further results.

“This is a bit unusual (to find a deceased body in a car), but it is not uncommon,” Burk said.

Maketa will not be recalled Sheri� expected to complete his term into next January By Danny Summers [email protected]

It appears that embattled El Paso County Sheriff Terry Maketa will serve the final six months of his term.

That was the word on July 12 after a recall group, led by Randy Stagner, did no collect the necessary amount of signatures it felt it needed to pass the signature veri-fication process

“We didn’t have the buffer we wanted,” Stagner said during a brief press conference in front of the El Paso County Courthouse on July 12.

Stagner and his crew scrambled up to the July 12 deadline to collect at least the 44,387 valid signatures needed to put Maketa’s name on Nov. 4 ballot.

That total number of signatures is based on 25 per-cent of the people who voted in the sheriff’s race in the 2010 election.

Stagner told a group of reporters and citizens that this group collected 48,000 signatures by noon on July 12.

He added that the group felt it needed at least 58,000 signatures by the 1 p.m. deadline.

Had Stagner’s group collected the necessary signa-tures, they would have delivered them to the El Paso County Citizen’s Service Center, 1675 W. Garden of the Gods Road.

“The Colorado Constitution bans any further at-tempts to recall Sheriff Maketa as he will be within six months of the end of his term after ( July 12),” said Ryan

Parsell, a spokesman with the County Office of the Clerk and Recorder.

Maketa’s final day in office is Jan. 13, 2015.Parsell added that that even if Stagner’s group deliv-

ered the signatures, the process to validate them could take up to 15 business days.

That would likely have been followed by a Maketa protest.

“This whole thing could have dragged on for another couple of months,” Parsell said.

The November election is all mail-in.Maketa was extremely popular among the majority

of the county population until recent controversies sur-faced.

In May, he was accused of misconduct, abuse of pow-er, affairs with subordinates and creating a hostile work environment.

El Paso County spokesman Dave Rose said that nine claims seeking $3.9 million in damages against Maketa have been filed.

On May 19, the El Paso County commissioners voted unanimously (5-0) to ask Maketa to step down.

“We can’t make him resign,” said County Commis-sioner Darryl Glenn, who oversees the Tri-Lakes are. “Only voters have the power to do that.

“We may want the sheriff to step down, but he was elected by the people. Not us.”

Glenn added that any effort to have Maketa recalled would not have affected the sheriff’s pension.

Maketa’s supporters criticized the recall effort, citing that it was waste of taxpayer money.

“It would have cost us about $20,000 to pay for tem-porary employees to verify the signatures,” Parsell said.

Drivers urged to obey work zone speed limitFinal milling, paving operations take place overnight through AugustSta� report

Crews complete widening of final seg-ment

Interstate 25 widening work is now complete between Woodmen Road and State Highway 105 in Monument.

The final segment to be widened be-tween SH 105 and North Gate Boulevard was opened to traffic early July 3, in time for holiday weekend traffic.

With the final segment widened and open to traffic now, project officials say southbound vehicles are exceeding the posted 65 mph speed limit in the north end of the project.

While the widening is now complete, crews continue to install guardrail, work on drainage and erosion control land-scaping throughout the project area, which will require periodic lane and shoulder closures to provide a safe work zone for crews and equipment.

Drivers can expect to see an increased law enforcement presence for speed en-

forcement.

Milling work, final asphalt paving now underway

The first of three phases to mill and repave I-25 between Woodmen Road and State Highway 105 in Monument

has begun. Milling and paving work be-gan this week just north of Woodmen Road on the northbound lanes.

The first phase of milling and paving will see crews working northbound to the area of I-25 between Interquest Parkway and North Gate Boulevard, where the in-terstate begins to split.

Once crews reach that point on the highway, they will move to the south-bound lanes and work south toward Woodmen Road.

The second phase will again see pav-ing northbound to a point between North Gate Boulevard and Baptist Road.

Again, they will move to the south-bound lanes and pave south to the point between North Gate Boulevard and Inter-quest Parkway.

Phase three of the milling and paving will again begin on the northbound lanes south of Baptist Road and will work north to State Highway 105.

The last segment to be milled and paved will be the southbound lanes be-tween State Highway 105 to just south of Baptist Road.

Crews expect to work six nights a week, Sunday through Friday.

All milling and paving work will be done at night beginning at 8:30 p.m. and ending by 5:30 a.m. the next day.

Friday night lane and ramp closures will begin at 9:30 p.m. and will be open by 7:30 a.m. the next morning.

The work requires a two-lane closure

and some ramp closures and speed lim-its in the work zone will be reduced to 45 mph.

Drivers can expect to see heavy truck traffic in the area as asphalt is delivered for the paving work.

Final paving is scheduled end Aug. 25.

Benet Hill Monastery announces annual fundraiser event Fi� h annual Picnic in the Pines event scheduled to support the Benedictine Sisters’ mission

Benet Hill Monastery recently announced their fifth annual fundraiser event, Picnic in the Pines, will be held on their property on July 19.

The picnic begins at 10:30 a.m. and ends at 2:30 p.m. Admission ticket includes family-friendly entertain-ment plus an all-you-can-eat barbecue lunch.

Entertainment ranges from live music, games for all ages, face painting and a guest appearance of Olympic wrestlers and a football toss with former NFL Bronco Randy Grandishar.

Channel 13’s Jon Karroll returns for his third year as the Monastery’s guest to emcee the event.

Sister Rose Ann Barmann, development director, said

that she and the rest of the sisters would like to invite everyone to come out and enjoy the beautiful Monastery grounds and this event is “a great time to meet old and new friends, bring your children or grandchildren, to enjoy the animals including the raptors and petting zoo.

At last year’s picnic a five-year old boy told his mom and grandma that he had ‘the best fun he had ever had’ after enjoying his first-ever pony ride.

This year the Monastery is recognizing families of de-ployed military, and your attendance at our picnic not only supports our Benet Hill Programs and Mission, but also helps us all to recognize and thank those who have given so much for our country.”

Benet Hill Monastery and Benedictine Spirituality Center in the Pines mission statement: We are a contem-porary Benedictine Monastic presence.

We provide the sacred space of hospitality and the use of our human and material resources in education, spirituality and other viable ministries.

Event draws large crowd For the Tribune

After the dust had settled at the Premier Urgent Care Red, White and Blue Bull Riding, nearly 700 people had passed through the gate.

The event which was produced by Ty and Nancy Rinaldo and TZ Bucking Bulls provided spectators with bull riding, mini bull riding and a chance to ap-preciate our military in old-west fashion.

Luke Billingsly won the event and rode away with $1068.

“A note of thanks for the con-cern and prayers for our fam-ily member, and bucking bull, Little Zonker, who was carried out of the arena on a sled dur-ing the event. Little Z is enjoy-ing his recovery with lots of rest, tall green grass and TLC. He is walking the fence eager to get

back to his buddies,” a release from the promoters said.

“Little Z may have pinched a nerve in his back or might even have tic paralysis which could have caused his symp-toms. These rodeo animals are not only great athletes but also our pets and truly a part of our family. A special shout-out to Dr Kim Graff and Dr Steve Graff who were on scene immediately to care for him and were at the ranch bright and early Saturday morning for a follow-up house call, “ according to the release from Ty Rinaldo.

The release said the bull rider who was transported to a nearby hospital for observation came by the arena after the event and told Ty, “Oh yeah, I’m fi ne, just another concus-sion...”

“All of this would not have been possible without the tre-mendous support of our sponsors. We are very grateful to Pre-mier Urgent Care, First National Bank of Monument, Rosie’s Diner, Monument Comfort Dental and MonumentMotors.com for being our Platinum Sponsors. Gold Sponsors includ-ed Tri-Lakes Shooting Supply, Broken Bones BBQ, Northgate Physical Therapy, Synthes, TNT Hay Sales, Big O Tire, Peter Anderson Photography, Chuck’s Royal Limo Service and Hay Creek Ranch. Silver sponsors were Bee’s Knees Embroidery, Rocky Mountain Oil Change Center, Castle Rock Tractor Sup-ply, Candy Sue Upton and Collins Fireworks,” the Rinaldos said.

7 Things You Must Know Before Putting Your Home Up for SaleTri-Lakes – A new report has just been released which reveals 7 costly mis-takes that most homeowners make when selling their home, and a 9 Step System that can help you sell your home fast and for the most amount of money.

This industry report shows clearly how the traditional ways of selling homes have become increasingly less and less effective in today’s mar-ket. The fact of the matter is that fully three quarters of home sellers don’t get what they want for their homes and become disillusioned and – worse – financially disadvantaged when the put their homes on the market.

As the report uncovers, most home

sellers make 7 deadly mistakes that

cost them literally thousands of dol-

lars. The good news is that each and

every one of these mistakes is entirely

preventable. In answer to this issue,

industry insiders have prepared a free

special report entitled “The 9 Step Sys-

tem to Get Your Home Sold Fast and

For Top Dollar”.

Monument student participates in leadership summitBy Sta� report

Audrey Campbell, a student at Lewis Palmer, will travel to Baltimore to partici-pate in a People to People Leadership Sum-mit. Campbell, along with fellow students from around the country, will take part in a medical laboratory and research depart-ment visit at the University of Maryland, research patient case studies, a local com-munity-service project, and a visit to the National Museum of Health and Medicine.

During the program in Maryland, Camp-bell will have the opportunity to learn about effective leadership and how to develop own leadership abilities, as well as how to apply those skills upon returning home. Hands-on activities such as a suturing dem-onstration and technique workshop lead by local doctor, relevant professional speak-ers, small-group workshops, and visits to significant local venues can help Campbell form a new perspective on the importance of good leadership.

“I am most excited about receiving patient case studies and touring the Na-tional Institutes of Health and Medicine,”

says Campbell. People to People Leadership Summits

are held in prestigious venues around the country and provide students a chance to explore the various aspects of leadership in specific contexts. Participants also gain insights to guide their educational and pro-fessional careers, and benefit from a strong focus on college admissions. Through workshops, presentations, excursions, and discussions, Leadership Ambassadors at-tain a clear advantage as they pursue their selected fields of interest. Students will have the opportunity to meet with admis-sions officers and gain valuable advice for navigating the college application process.

The programs offer students a unique blend of specialized educational, leader-ship, and cultural exposure as well as itin-eraries filled with the highlights of the host-ing communities. Students enjoy a unique chance to enhance their self-confidence, as well as experience life-changing growth in personal responsibility, global leadership and cultural diversity.

With Gold Rush Days coming, mining’s on my mind With Victor’s Gold Rush Days coming up

this weekend, and having just visited with Jeff Tapparo at the annual open house of the Western Museum of Mining and History, (Tapparo is on the museum’s board and gets to operate the Osgood steam shovel,) I have mining on my mind.

He called my attention to the following story in the Cripple Creek Morning Times death notices of 1898. The Times is actually an ancestor to the Courier. I felt was ap-propriate to remember how dangerous the industry once was.

Sept, 20, 1898: Victor: “The remains of E.O. Alexander will

be buried today from the residence of his daughter in Strong’s camp. Sickening Catas-trophe in a Mine. – Patrick Fitzpatrick and Mathew Branigan were killed yesterday and W.D. Crawford terribly injured by one of the most shocking accidents since the day of the Anna Lee disaster.

“They met their death under a falling car in the shaft of the Union company’s Orpha May mine on Bull Hill. All three of the men were employees of the Union company, and were employed in sinking the shaft, working at a depth of 900 feet below the surface.

“Several of the upper levels are oper-ated by lessees, whose rock is hoisted by the company for a consideration. H.P. Funk, a trammer, working on the lease at the fourth or 200-foot level, yesterday morning pushed a car of rock up to the shaft, to await the cage which would hoist it to the surface. The shaft is guarded by a chain, which is always fastened across except when a car is being rolled onto the cage.

“The car, weighing, with its load of rock, 1,700 pounds, rolled against the guard with such force that the chain was broken, and the car, load of rock and all, toppled down the shaft on the heads of the men 700 feet below. The unlucky trammer, knowing that men were at work in the shaft, driven mad by grief and fright at what he had done,

climbed up the ladder and took to his heels.“Below, the men at work in the shaft

never knew what happened. Fitzpatrick and Branigan were working and the awful force of that load falling 700 feet struck them squarely. When their mates went below to hoist their bodies, they were so crushed be-neath timbers, rock and the wreck of the car, that they could hardly be identifi ed at all.

“The car had gained such momentum that it took out the bulkhead at the twelfth level, and two sets of timbers lower down, as if they had been made of straw. The whole mass of wood, iron and stone struck the men as swiftly as the lightning’s bolt. Branigan was found under the car, with his head split wide open, and nearly half of it shorn away.

“His body was reduced to a pulpy mass of fl esh, bone and cartilage absolutely indescribable. Fitzpatrick was pinned down under rock and timbers, his head mashed fl at, and his body a veritable jelly of fl esh and crushed bone. Crawford’s escape from instant death is little short of miraculous. He

Area product Brandon McCarthy has had a � ne major league career

Brandon McCarthy made his fi rst start in New York Yankees uniform July 9 at Cleveland. The 6-foot-8 right-hander allowed one earned run over 6 2/3 innings.

The Yankees won 5-4 in 14 innings.I am writing about McCarthy this week be-

cause he once faced the Woodland Parks and Lewis-Palmers of the Pikes Peak region when he was pitched for Cheyenne Mountain High School. McCarthy’s rise from an average high school pitcher to quality major league starter is one of inspiration and oddity.

McCarthy, 31, graduated from Cheyenne Mountain in 2001. He was nothing special in high school. He went to Lamar Community College as a 6-5, 150-pounder he was hoping to earn a spot on the team. He topped out at just 83 mph on his fastball in high school, but one year later he was throwing 90, gained 25 pounds and was the 17th draft selection of the Chicago White Sox in the 2002 amateur draft.

During his one year at Lamar he took his team to a third-place fi nish in the Junior Col-lege World Series.

McCarthy spent the fi rst decade of his life in southern California. He was an Orel Hershiser fan. When Pat McCarthy, his father, took Brandon to Chavez Ravine to watch the Dodgers’ star, his son would proceed to recite a litany of Hershiser stats.

Pat McCarthy told me back in 2002 - when I wrote my fi rst story on Brandon - that he decided to move his family to Colorado

Springs in 1994 after thieves broke into his family’s Pasadena home for the third time. Pat decided he’d rather relocate his family to Colorado Springs for safety reasons, among other things.

Brandon’s favorite pitch has always been a fl at four-seam fastball that stayed up in the strike zone. What he lacked in deception, he more than made up for with moxie. He knew how to throw strikes.

Along the way, Brandon added a nasty 12-to-6 curveball and decent changeup.

Brandon catapulted through the White Sox’s minor league system; Great Falls, Kan-napolis, Winston-Salem and then Double-A Birmingham. He just kept throwing strike after strike.

He made his major league debut May 22, 2005, in the fi nale of an electric interleague series against the cross town Cubs. The Cubs’ starter that day at Wrigley Field was Mark Prior. Brandon excelled, pitching 5 1/3 in-nings, striking out six, walking just one and

leaving with his team ahead 2-1.His second career start, against the Rang-

ers, didn’t go nearly as well. The rookie gave up four homers in only fi ve innings, including two to Alfonso Soriano.

The White Sox went on to win the World Series in 2005 as McCarthy posted a 3-2 record in 12 games (10 starts). At the age of 22 he had his fi rst World Series ring.

McCarthy’s nine-year big-league career has seen him pitch for the White Sox, Texas, Oakland, Arizona and now the Yankees. He has a lifetime record of 45-60.

“Brandon is excited, of course,” Pat told me the night his son got traded to the Yankees on July 6. “He’s already had a pretty full career. Ups and downs, but twice as long as the aver-age pitcher.

“Now he’s on a big stage and in a playoff race. It’s always a plus over no chance at the playoffs. Success, challenges, trades, high, lows and injuries. Some of it’s magic, some of it’s tragic, but it’s been a great ride all in all.”

In my 14 years covering high school baseball in Colorado, McCarthy is still the only local product to pitch in the major leagues. It is rare if a prep player from these parts even goes on to play in college, much less ever throw one pitch in the major leagues.

Way to go, Brandon.By the way, McCarthy’s contract for the

2014 season is $10.250 million. Not bad for a guy who was not drafted out of high school.

Udall says he wasn’t avoiding president Sta� report

Democratic Sen. Mark Udall said he was not avoiding President Barack Obama when he didn’t attend Denver events involving the president last week.

Republicans mocked Udall for not at-tending his own fundraiser that the president

headlined on July 8 and for not showing up for an economic speech that Obama gave in cen-tral Denver the next day.

Instead, Udall stayed in Washington, D.C. “to do his job.”

“I appreciate the president’s support,” Udall told reporters on July 11. “I wanted to be here but I had a job to do in Washington.”

Udall said he stayed in Washington to cast votes for Obama’s Housing and Urban Devel-opment secretary and for key pieces of legisla-tion.

Republicans said that Udall — who is run-ning in a tight re-election bid against U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner — was making a politically stra-tegic decision to not be seen with a president

with low approval ratings.“I’ll let the pundits talk about all of that,”

Udall said. “I was in DC doing my job. Colora-dans know that’s the number one focus I had. I appreciate the president’s support and, as you know, we had Vice President (Joe) Biden here last month and I was here to stand with him ... ”

Radio Stations got an early start in Colorado

As you turn on that radio you may not think about how long radios have been listened to by the public.

In the early 1920s radio stations were rare, and many had private receivers where they could listen to distant sta-tions. Often this was in an attic away from noise, and up high to get a better signal. It was seen by many as a passing fad.

In December 1924 Colorado Springs got its first station. It broadcast from a tower in downtown Colorado Springs, where Penrose Public Library now stands.

Denver had four stations; the newest was KOA. The others were KFEL, KFLE and KFUP. KOA started in December 1924 just before Christmas. The Rocky Moun-tain Broadcast Co. was part of General Electric’s radio stations. It was their third station. The first was in Schenectady, New York, WGY. The other one was in Oakland California, KGO.

These early stations mainly used lo-cal talent for their broadcasts. Many had grand studios, but most used some local facility. KFUM, the Colorado Springs sta-tion used Perkins Hall on the Colorado College campus, as well as the Colorado School for the Deaf and Blind. KOA in Denver used various churches as well as their own studio. The stations were usu-ally on the air only three or four hours a day, generally in the evening. Officials from state government were often fea-

tured.The newspapers carried lists of known

radio stations. The signals from KOA were reported to be received as far away as Mexico City and Alaska. Most of the stations were east of the Mississippi. Chi-cago had several stations which could be picked up along the Front Range. Colum-bus, Ohio, Dallas, Texas, Davenport, Iowa and Kansas City, Missouri were the sta-tions normally listened to in Colorado.

As more and more listeners tuned in, they contacted the stations to let them know where they heard the signal. When KOA started the received hundreds such notes. People like GE started making better and smaller radios. Up until tele-vision, the radio was nearly as large as some refrigerators! Television was as not far behind the radio as some think. By the 1940s the first stations broadcasting television signals were send out to hun-dreds of early sets. Twenty five years after the first radio stations, Denver had tele-vision stations. Again GE was cranking out television sets in the 1940s.

Obama makes visit to Denver ‘No doubt we are making progress,’ president says By Vic Vela [email protected]

President Barack Obama told a Denver au-dience on July 9 that the country’s economy is better off now than when he took offi ce fi ve years ago, and blasted Republicans in Con-gress who “have blocked or voted down every serious idea to strengthen the middle class.”

But Republicans shot back against a “lone-ly” president whose low approval ratings they believe scared off some local Democratic of-fi ceholders from attending Obama’s speech in central Denver’s Cheesman Park.

The president’s speech came the night af-ter he raised money for Democratic Sen. Mark Udall, who is in a tight re-election bid against a challenger, U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner. Udall stayed in Washington for a vote on a Cabinet nominee and did not attend the fundraiser or Obama’s speech the next day.

Obama touted an economy that has pro-duced 10 million jobs since he took offi ce dur-ing the Great Recession in 2009, and pointed to a national unemployment rate that is at its lowest point since that year.

“What I want to make sure of is, as screwed-up sometimes as Washington gets, that every-body understands that there’s progress to be

made and that there’s someone here who is fi ghting for them, even though it can feel like the system is rigged against them,” the presi-dent said.

Obama pointed to an improved housing and construction environment; an automo-bile industry that is making strides; and greater energy independence as key factors that are driving an economy that was in dire straits prior to him taking offi ce.

“So despite what you may here, there is no doubt we are making progress,” Obama said. “By almost every measure, we are better off than when I took offi ce.”

The president also defended recent ex-ecutive actions that have irked Republicans. Obama said he has taken it upon himself to make changes to immigration policy, rising student loan debt, and pay discrepancies be-tween men and women, because the Repub-lican-controlled House of Representatives has blocked his policy initiatives at every turn.

Obama then took a shot at Republican House Speaker John Boehner for suing the president, on grounds that Obama has over-stepped his authority by sidestepping Con-gress while taking his own action on certain policy areas.

“Now, I gather that some of the Republicans in Congress are mad at me for going ahead and doing things,” Obama said. “They have a plan to sue me for taking executive actions that are within my authority, while they do nothing.

“I have a better idea. They should do some-thing rather than engage in political stunts that are a waste of time and taxpayer money; join me and let’s do some things together.”

Instead of joining in, area Republicans pounced on the president’s visit to Colorado. They see Obama as a weak and unpopular president, being avoided by key Democrats running for re-election this fall.

Polls show that Obama’s approval ratings are abysmal. And Republicans said it is no wonder that Democrats such as Gov. John Hickenlooper and Udall didn’t attend the pres-ident’s speech July 9.

State Republican Party Chairman Ryan Call blasted Obama’s record as having failed work-ing families and having caused many Colora-dans to lose a previously existing health care plan as a result of the Affordable Care Act — the president’s signature piece of legislation.

“President Obama, Sen. Udall and Gov. Hickenlooper have had their chance to make things better, but they have failed,” Call said in an emailed statement. “Coloradans are ready to elect new leaders who will listen to the peo-ple of Colorado, and not be a rubber stamp for President Obama’s same, tired policies.”

Hickenlooper’s offi ce said the governor was not dodging the president and that he had a prior engagement that had been booked well before Obama’s speech — which was announced on July 7. The governor did get together with Obama to drink beer and play

pool with him in downtown Denver the night before his speech.

Udall, meanwhile, stayed in Washington to cast a vote in support of Obama’s nominee to head the Department of Housing and Urban Development — an appointment that was confi rmed by the Senate with overwhelming support.

The Udall campaign also shot back at Re-publican criticism about the senator’s absence from Obama’s events, citing a report that Gard-ner had attended a Republican event that was sponsored by GOP operative Karl Rove during last year’s budget shutdown.

“Mark’s commitment to putting his job as a senator fi rst stands in stark contrast to Con-gressman Cory Gardner, whose campaign has attacked Mark for NOT skipping today’s vote, and who famously hobnobbed with Karl Rove after voting to shut down the government last fall,” said Chris Harris, a communications di-rector for the Udall campaign.

In an effort to put aside the politics of his visit, Obama said in his Denver speech that he will continue to push policies on his own in polarized Washington — policies that he be-lieves will help “ordinary Americans.”

“We’re fi ghting for the idea that everybody gets an opportunity no matter what you look like or where you’re from or who you love or how you grew up or what your last name is,” the president said. “America is a place where you should be able to make it if you try.”

was working in a corner of the shaft, doing single-hand work. He declares that he never heard a sound, or had warning of any kind of what was about to happen, and knew nothing of when it id strike.

“The fi rst thing he knew was the open air and the sunlight after he had been lifted to the surface and restored to consciousness.

Though not killed, he is still in a pitiable condition. His skull is fractured, and his head looks as if it had been slashed in a dozen places with a razor. His left hand is shattered, and his right foot crushed as fl at as if it had been put through a cane roller. The knee joint of the same leg has been split open, and it is a question whether the leg will not have to be amputated above the knee.

“The ambulance was called, and Craw-ford, accompanied by Dr. Johnson, who had dressed the wounds as well as he could temporarily, was brought to the hospital.

There Drs. Johnson, Chambers and Has-senplug amputated the leg about six inches above the ankle. The surgeons think the man has a fair chance for recovery, but state that the cut into his knee joint is the most serious of his many injuries.

“Both the dead men were single, and about 30 years of age. Branigan has a brother

at Central City, who has been telegraphed

for, and Fitzpatrick has a brother at Gold-

fi eld, in this district. Both were members

of the Miners’ union. The remains were

removed to the rooms of Mulligan and Dunn

at Victor, where they now lie. Arrangements

have not been made for their interment.”

WMMI celebrates anniversary with mining demonstrationsYellow Jacket Stamp Mill Gold & Silver Re�nery pounds out productBy Rob [email protected]

The Western Museum of Mining and Industry, or “The Museum That Works!” invited everyone to celebrate their anni-versary by coming to the museum to see the entire operation.

The museum’s 19th and 20th century steam engines rumbled to life and visi-tors heard the shrill whistle of an Osgood steam shovel, were able to watch a tram-mer speed down the rail, and ... for this special event, tour the museum’s one-of-a-kind Yellow Jacket Stamp Mill Gold & Silver Refinery which was up and run-ning with help from Broken Handle Min-ing Corp. of Central City.

Real hard rock miners brought the

machine to life and to process gold ore.Cake and lemonade was available at

noon for all visitors and new museum memberships were offered at a discount-ed rate.

In 1970, the Museum of the West was incorporated as a private non-profit with a mission to preserve and interpret the rich mining history of Colorado and the American West.

The nucleus of the collection was a group of mining artifacts contributed to the museum by Frederick McMenemy Farrar and Katherine Thatcher Farrar.

In 1972 the name was changed to the Western Museum of Mining & Industry to better define the museum focus.

The museum received its full accredi-tation by the American Association of Museum in 1979 and, in acknowledg-ment of its high standards and successes, was re-accredited in 1980 and 2000.

More than 4,000 artifacts are on dis-play at the 27-acre indoor/outdoor ex-hibit site; which includes a 10-stamp ore mill, a multi-purpose center with exhibits, a theater and a 5,000-volume research library.

Beer garden successful Parade moves through town, bands added in a� ernoon By Rob Carrigan [email protected]

With several new twists this year, the Tri-Lakes Fourth of July celebration was a resounding success.

“We were very pleased,” said Tri-Lakes Chamber of Com-merce Executive Director Terri Hayes about the fi rst-year ad-dition of a beer garden at the event. “No trouble at all. We will defi nitely do it again.”

Hayes said they sold over 700 beers and they recouped cost of certifying workers. That $40 certifi cation cost is in place for three years now and lays the ground work for additional benefi t fundraisers.

Hayes says a big round of applause goes to the street fair sponsor Xfi nity. “We had well over 100 vendors this year and some said there was even more traffi c than last.”

She also expressed appreciation for the town of Monument, as well as Home Depot for providing 800 feet of donated snow fence for enclosing the beer garden area. The town, along with donations from local merchants supplied the three bands for entertainment at the bandshell in Libauch Park.

Madeline VanDenHoek, community relations with the town, said Ashtonz, Inman Brothers, Wirewood Station, (the three local bands) were well received and nearly 400 to 500 peo-ple turned out for the new wrinkle in the celebration. “It went very well,” she said.

R.F. Smith, who was in charge of lining up the parade for the Monument Hill Kiwanis said also that it was a very positive ex-

perience. “We had nearly 100 entries, and there was a great va-riety. We tried move it along a little more effi ciently, and I think were able to do so,” he said.

Variety included everything from Civil War reenactors, horse units, veterans organizations, business fl oats, antique cars, trucks and motorcycles and even marching bands, including the Litchfi eld Minnesota Marching Dragons.

He thanked Integrity Bank for there sponsorship and stressed that the entire parade effort is a non-profi t operation with the $35 entry fees going to defray the cost of putting it on. It provides services such as restroom facilities, barracades, park-ing, shuttles and other necessities of handling 10,000 to 20,000 extra people in town.

“Together, we are able to put together a very proud Indepen-dence celebration here in the town of Monument,” Smith said.

Moose spotted near Air Force Academy Giant beast was seen July 6

Sta� report

On July 6 there was a rare moose sighting near the Air Force Academy.

The moose sighting was reported to Colorado Parks and Wildlife by hikers who were in the area.

According to Colorado Parks and Wildlife there has been growing moose population in the state since its introduction here decades ago.

“Moose were introduced to Colorado in the late 1970s,” said Parks and Wildlife spokeswoman Abbie

Walls. “We brought a couple in from Utah and ever since the population has been expanding.

“The moose population is thriving in Colorado.”Walls added there are a couple sightings every year in

southern Colorado. The July 6 sighting was the first one reported in 2014.

“Moose sighting happens much more often in the northern part of the stat,” Walls said. “These animals can weigh up to 1,200 pounds, are not afraid of humans, and are very aggressive.”

According to the Parks and Wildlife website, anyone who spots a moose in person should stay well back and give the animal room to roam. A moose encounter can be much more dangerous than coming across a moun-

tain lion.“Moose are not afraid of humans at all,” Walls said.

“Mountain lions will almost always leave you alone.”Walls added that dogs are often a factor in moose at-

tacks.“Their natural predator is a wolf, and a dog looks like

a wolf to a moose,” she said. “If you have your dog off the leash and it chases the moose, the moose runs back toward the dog a lot of times bringing that angry moose with it.”

Parks and Wildlife officials believe most moose in the area come from the land near Fountain Creek. Creeks are natural highways for wildlife.

Basic cadets aim to break Guinness world record For the Tribune

The Air Force Academy’s Class of 2018 is trying to set a Guinness world record for the largest chain push-up, while not even halfway through basic training on July

18 at 10 a.m.The chain push-up attempt will happen toward the

end of Field Day for the basic cadets, which is a morn-ing loaded full of squadron-versus-squadron athletic competitions for bragging rights that builds teamwork among the basic cadets.

Individual push-ups are something the basic cadets of the Class of 2018 are both thoroughly familiar with and well-practiced in at this point, but chain push-ups require a little more coordination. Chain push-ups re-quire each participant to rest his or her ankles and low-er legs on the shoulders of the participant behind him or her, creating a human chain where each individual performs the push-up at the same time.

Marines at Camp Lejeune, N.C., set the record in late 2013 when 138 Marines and sailors broke the record for most people chain push-up at one time.

But the Air Force Academy looks to blow that number out of the proverbial water. The Class of 2018 numbers 1,184 basic cadets as of today. With a few hundred cadet cadre members available to participate, the Air Force Academy could break and even triple this world record. On May 19, 2011, Air Force Academy cadets set the Guinness world record for the largest dodge ball game, with 3,623 cadets participating and pounding each oth-er with 1050 red dodge ball.

That record can be viewed on YouTube at youtube.com/watch?v=IODcEJfItFA.

But that world record has since been broken, when the University of California, Irvine arranged a dodge ball game with 6,084 participants on Sept. 25, 2012.

Basic cadet training began June 26 and runs through Aug. 2.

during open season.• Any person discharging a gas oper-

ated paintball or airsoft gun.The original order with and effective

date of July 7, 2014, says the Pikes Peak Ranger District has issued an Order clos-

ing a 9,567 acre area in El Paso County to recreational shooting.

“The Order is necessary to provide for public safety and to protect natural resources and facilities. It prohibits

discharging a firearm, air rifle or gas gun in the designated area,” according to a release by forest officials.

Erin Connelly, Forest and Grassland Supervisor of the Pike & San Isabel Na-

tional Forests, Cimarron & Comanche National Grasslands (PSICC) said, “My focus is on ensuring public and resource protection while more than 94 percent of the PSICC remains open to this sport. This closure will improve the overall safety for visitors to the PSICC.”

The Order affects the area surround-ing Mount Herman Road (Forest Service Road 320) from Monument, Colorado west to the Teller County line.

“This area does not provide for safe

or reasonable recreational shooting due to the steep terrain and concentrated public use. The area surrounding Mount Herman Road is particularly rugged and contains a variety of recreational op-portunities. Due to the proximity of this area to Denver and Colorado Springs, the volume of recreational shooting has in-creased substantially in recent years.”

All dressed up at the Ren FestAnnual Larkspur summer festival draws large crowds each and every weekendBy Mike [email protected]

Princes and paupers came from across the state over the weekend to en-joy the atmosphere at the Colorado Re-naissance Festival & Artisan Marketplace in Larkspur.

The festival, now in its 38th year, boasts 10 stages, performing 60 shows daily.

Everything from magic to jousting can be found at the festival, including a well-dressed public.

“It’s awesome for people to get togeth-er and dress up. Everyone is in kilts and dressed up with their hair braided with flowers and you can have a couple mar-garitas and just hang out,” said Renee Teter, of Denver.

More than 200 period artisans sell and demonstrate their crafts in the market-place.

The marketplace is cash only. How-ever, there are four ATM locations in the

kingdom.The festival, which runs Saturdays

and Sunday until Aug. 3, is open each weekend from 10 a.am. to 6:30 p.m. and offers free on-site parking.

“I’ve come almost every year since I was in fourth grade, so probably like 15 or 16 years now. The event hasn’t changed much, there are just more people now,” Eric Fresces said.

Food and drink are available at the marketplace as well and giant turkey legs and cold ale are in great supply.

Admission is $19.95 for adults, $9 for children ages 5-12 and free for children under the age of 5.

SPORTSSuper Bowl ring talk of this year’s Pro Football CampSeveral Tri-Lakes kids took part in annual football campBy Danny [email protected]

More than 200 kids ages 7 through 14 took part in the 9th Annual Pro Football Camp July 8-10 at the University of Col-orado at Colorado Springs. Nearly two dozen current and former NFL players were on hand to give instruction and talk about their experience playing the game they love.

But a lot of the talk of this year’s camp centered on the jaw-dropping Super Bowl ring of Seattle Seahawks defensive end Greg Scruggs.

“I saw it,” said Monument resident Logan Reichardt, who was attending his fifth consecutive Pro Football Camp. “It’s pretty big.”

Scruggs’ ring, which is big enough to see from the top of Pikes Peak, is kept in a designer box that is almost big enough to hold an actual hawk. The white gold ring, made by Tiffany and Company, fea-tures a three-dimensional Seahawks logo of 64 round diamonds with a vibrant em-erald hue tsavorite eye. The iconic logo is outlined in blue and is framed by 12 dia-monds.

“I don’t wear it around,” Scruggs said with a smile. “I keep it in the box.”

Scruggs was drafted by the Seahawks in 2012. He was placed on injured reserve all last season and did not get a chance to participate in the big game.

Scruggs is the client of sports agents Craig and Teddi Doman. They host the Pro Football Camp each year and bring in many of their clients to help run the camp.

Former NFL player and Classical Acad-emy offensive line coach Rich Griffith ac-tually runs the camp drills, sets pre and post-game chats with the players and campers, and a host of other duties.

“The biggest thing is that was have an opportunity to positively give back to these kids,” Griffith said. “They may have things going on at home, things at school, they have transition. But there are positive things to grab onto that give you hope.”

Griffith said working with the campers on football is only part of the reason why the camp exists.

“Football is a great bridge for the char-acter qualities of life,” he said. “Character qualities of life like discipline, responsi-bilities, working together with others and perseverance. All those pieces allow these kids to taste a little bit of life skills beyond the game of football.”

Among the 18 NFL players at the camp was current Denver Broncos linebacker Steven Johnson. Johnson played special teams in last February’s 43-8 Super Bowl loss to Seattle. He also was a bit in awe of Scruggs’ championship ring.

“That’s a nice ring,” Johnson said. “Se-attle had a really good team and Greg’s a part of that and that’s really cool. I’m a part of a really good team, too. It was just a day when we didn’t play too well. Any-thing can happen on any given Sunday.”

Johnson isn’t making any bold predic-tions about the Broncos’ chances this sea-son, but he does believe his club will be back in the thick of things.”

“I have a really nice AFC Champion-ship ring,” he said. “Hopefully I can get a Super Bowl ring this year.”

The campers kept busy each morning for about four hours doing a number of offensive and defensive drills. Reichardt, who will be a fifth-grader at Discovery

Canyon Campus this fall, said he enjoys all of the drills.

“I just love that the pro football play-ers train us and do drills with us,” said Reichardt, who attended Antelope Trails last year. “I love the fact that I get better each year.”

Brayden Kipp, a sixth-grader at Bear Creek Elementary School, attended his first camp this year.

“I liked hitting and tackling all the bags,” he said.
