PL E ASE RECYCLE T HI S C OPY
By Danny Summers
dsummers@coloradocommunitymedia.com After 12 years as the principal of Palmer Lake Elementary School — 33 years in education — Julie Jadomski said goodbye last week to a lot of fantastic students and staff. “I have worked hard over my 33 years in earning respect, supporting, mentoring, guiding, listening and helping others so our children can grow up with the tools that they need to be successful,” Jadomski said. “I can only hope that those children who had a rough start in life were given a second chance at becoming successful.” Jadomski, 64, has lived in the Tri-Lakes area since 1977. She moved to Colorado from Brooklyn in the early 1970s with her husband Richard. The couple has been married for 42 years and all three of their kids went through the District 38 school system. “I was a Colorado girl even when I was back in New York,” Jadomski said with a smile. “What I learned living in New York was the cultural diversity of the many people you interact with. That strengthened me as a person and it helped me in my career.” Jadomski, a graduate of Long island University, began her career in 1973 as a second grade teacher at Stratmoor Hills Elementary School in Harrison School District 2. She worked there for five years and then took about a decade off to raise her children. She went back to teaching in 1987 and spent six years as an English Language Learners teacher and supervisor at Otero Elementary School in District 2. She then transitioned into a Title 1 teacher (Reading Specialist) at Stratmoor Hills for two years before becoming the school’s principal for eight years. Finally, in 2003, after commuting south for nearly three decades, Jadomski was hired as the Palmer Lake’s principal. “I’ve worked really hard at Palmer Lake to continue that strong sense of family values that our district embraces,” said Jadomski, who has kissed pigs, been thrown in jail and dunked in water tanks over the years. “What a ride it’s

Courtesy photo been.” Jadomski was honored by the district with a special surprise assembly at Palmer Lake on May 20. “I won’t miss the pace, but I’ll miss the hugs from all the kids,” Jadomski said. “It will be nice when I have a moment to look back and reflect on all the things that happened along the way. Sometimes when you are in the middle of it all you can’t stop and smell the roses.” Jadomski may not be around the school on a regular basis, but she still plans to stay involved with the district on some level. “I plan on helping out the district in other ways,” Jadomski said. “I’m sure I’ll be volun-
teering somewhere in the district reading to the kids.” Palmer Lake renamed the school’s greenhouse in Jadomski’s honor — now called `Mrs. J’s Greenhouse” — as well as dedicated a cook book in her name in the school’s library. “She’s always been about the students first,” said Jadomski’s secretary, Marilyn Henderson. “She’s always encouraging students, whether they are in trouble or had success at something they did.” Jadomski originally earned a commercial art degree from LIU and would like to apply that in retirement. “Maybe I’ll get back to painting,” she said.

Black Forest residents pack hall to express support Staff report At a public meeting Wednesday, May 13, a standing-room-only crowd of concerned residents learned about efforts that have preserved Black Forest’s rural residential values for four decades, and recent challenges that many citizens see as threats to those values. The two-hour meeting, convened by the Friends of the Black Forest Preservation Plan drew a standing-room-only audience to the Black Forest Community Hall. Judy von Ahlefeldt outlined the historical events that led her, and other Black Forest residents, to work with El Paso County to create the first Black Forest Preservation Plan in 1974. The Plan, which was the first citizen-based land-use plan in the state of Colorado, was updated in 1987.
She explained that the plan creates a framework to preserve the quiet rural residential community valued by Black Forest residents, by defining objectives to protect the environment and preserve lowdensity housing and light traffic. El Paso County planning staff and the Planning Commission then consider the objectives of the plan as they decide whether to approve new subdivisions, roads, water use, or commercial development in the Black Forest area. Terry Stokka, who chairs the Black Forest Land Use Committee of the Black Forest Community Club, explained that County staff and the Planning Commission include the Committee in the review of applications or new development in the Black Forest area. This review by the Black Forest Land Use Committee is prescribed in the 1987 Black Forest Preservation Plan.
The Black Forest Land Use Committee often recommends changes to allow a new development to be consistent with the Plan Black Forest Preservation Plan. The Committee often works directly with a developer to create a win-win development plan. Over the years, this cooperative process has been largely successful in preserving Black Forest’s rural residential lifestyle and environment. However, the Board of County Commissioners recently approved a commercial project that is inconsistent with the Plan, after County planning staff, the Planning Commission, the Black Forest Land Use Committee, and many individual residents all recommended against approval. After that decision, Friends of the Black Forest Preservation Plan was formed to increase the community’s awareness of
the Plan and its value, and advocate to County staff and decision makers that they respect the Plan and comply with it when making development decisions. Leif Garrison, FOBFPP president, explained that it was important to show the County that there is widespread support for the Black Forest Preservation Plan. He emphasized that membership in the FOBFPP is free, and encouraged all adult Black Forest residents to join and receive information updates, by signing up at www. FOBFPP.org In the time allotted for discussion, attendees made thoughtful comments and asked practical questions about how Black Forest residents can preserve the community values and natural environment that brought them here. Garrison noted that the FOBFPP will soon start planning a community-wide workshop to discuss issues and potential actions in detail.

NEWS IN A HURRY El Paso County declares local disaster Chair of the El Paso County Board of County Commissioners, Denis Hisey, signed a local disaster declaration based on damages to public infrastructure caused by rain and flooding between May 3 and May 12, 2015. In signing the declaration seeking federal assistance County Board Chair Dennis Hisey said, “It is such a difficult situation for the county to be in, to experience four local disasters in just four years. But with the assistance of our partners at the State of Colorado and the Federal Government
we will be able to rebuild our damaged roads and parks.” The previous three disaster declarations were for the Waldo Canyon Fire in 2012, the Black Forest Fire in 2013, and flooding that took place in September of 2013. Today’s disaster declaration outlines an estimated $2.4 million in damages to County roads and county parks. Fountain Creek Regional Park and Bear Creek Regional Park experienced significant trail damage. El Paso County needed to exceed $2.1 million in damage to be eligible for federal disaster assistance. The local declaration now goes to the
State of Colorado Division of Local Affairs for review and then to Governor Hickenlooper. If all the damage in Colorado totals over $6.9 million Governor Hickenlooper would be able to seek a federal disaster declaration for the State of Colorado. If the President of the United States issues a federal disaster declaration for Colorado, El Paso County would receive 75 percent reimbursements from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for repairs, based on receipts submitted, documenting the actual cost of repairs. El Paso County will also seek Individual Assistance from FEMA to assist individual
propertyowners who received damage, however it does not appear at this time that the threshold to receive this assistance from FEMA will be reached. The Board of El Paso County Commissioners asked to approve the declaration for the county at its meeting on Thursday, May 21. Additional damage estimates are expected to be submitted separately to the state by the Cities of Colorado Springs, Manitou Springs, the town of Monument and possibly others.

Sunshine Law governs communication A law meant to control secret deals encumbers progress By Jennifer Cunningham
Contributing writer
In 2011, Colorado Springs changed its governmental structure from a home rule municipality to what’s categorized as a strong mayor. Under this council/strong mayor system, the mayor acts as the chief executive and the city council is the legislative branch. The Colorado Springs mayor is a full-time position and not a member of the city council. The incumbent holds veto authority, manages the city budget and can hire and fire staff. Monument falls under a different governmental structure referred to as a statutory town. In this construct, there is a voluntary board of trustees and a paid town manager. The mayor is considered a trustee and has an equal vote amid the group of seven. While the position is elected, the mayor cannot dictate budget expenditures or unilaterally hire or fire town directors. Exercise of authority by the council is regulated by the Colorado Sunshine Law set forth in the Colorado Revised Statutes, 246-401. Also referred to as the Open Meetings Law, “the intent is to afford public access to a broad range of meetings at which public business is considered.” “I think the Sunshine Law is a good law designed to protect the citizenry from politicians trying to conduct business in private, or striking “back door” deals,” said Trustee Jeff Kaiser. “That being said, it does present some impediments that can make even innocuous communications more laborious.” The statute defines open meetings as any where a quorum or three or more members are gathered, whichever is fewer, and where public business is discussed or formal action might be taken. This means only two trustees can meet at one time to discuss town issues without having to give 24-hour public notice. The law also applies to electronic mail traffic. According to Section 2, “If elected officials use electronic mail to discuss pending legislation or other public business among themselves, the electronic mail shall be subject of the requirements of this section.”
When three or more trustees are gathered to discuss town business, the meeting must be open to the public and advertised 24 hours in advance. Here Trustees Howe, Tooley and Elliott met to discuss new town manager qualifications in advance of the May 9 special meeting with Waters & Company executive recruiter. Photo by Jennifer Cunningham The town council periodically utilizes the town manager to solicit input from the group outside of open meetings. She will send a mass email to the trustees and compile their responses. Gary Shupp, town attorney, said, “Filtering through the town manager is in keeping with the spirit of the law. The manager is an administrative person who is allowed to communicate with individual board members without violating the Sunshine Law. It

is effective and it does not involve any decision-making since, again, the board needs to make decisions as a board.” As another alternative, any trustee can call a special meeting if they feel additional communication is necessary. The meeting must be accessible to the public and advertised in a timely manner. Trustee attendance is not mandatory, with participation based on levels of time, interest and commitment.
Chance meetings or social gatherings do not apply as long as town business is not discussed. Announcements for open meetings can be found on the town of Monument web site under the Meetings tab.

New sheriff, county attorney, outside counsel recommend approval Staff report The Board of El Paso County Commissioners approved two resolutions which settle of all claims brought against the county, the sheriff’s office, former Sheriff Terry Maketa and former Undersheriff Paula Presley by two employees of the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office. Sgts. Charles Kull and Emory Gerhart resigned their positions as sworn personnel with the sheriff’s office in December of 2013 and subsequently filed claims for monetary damages citing loss of income
and benefits because of adverse employment conditions. Sheriff Bill Elder joined County Attorney Amy Folsom and outside legal counsel Glenn Schlabs from the firm of Sherman and Howard in recommending approval of the settlements. “I wholeheartedly support this,” Elder told commissioners. “The mere existence of these issues is a deep distraction so the sooner we can find ways to put them behind us the better.” “Each claim is different and is evaluated on its own merit. I’m confident that the amounts presented are significantly less than the cost of protracted litigation,” said Folsom. “These claims were evaluated by outside counsel from Sherman and Howard and they concur that this is the best resolution of these particular claims.”
• Gerhart and Kull resigned their positions with the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office in December of 2013. • They subsequently filed claims generally claiming “constructive discharge/ wrongful termination” and naming Maketa, Presley, the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office and El Paso County as defendants. • Gerhart returned to duty shortly after Elder took office in 2015. The proposed settlement agreement for Kull includes an offer of reinstatement and he is expected to return to duty this month. • The settlements collectively represent $158,000 in lost wages and an additional $40,000 in taxes and benefits. The lost wages will be paid from the sheriff’s office salary and compensation funds. • Settlement of these two claims does
Hickenlooper signs rules that limit medical pot growers Law restricts caregivers to 99 plants By Kristen Wyatt
The Associated Press Colorado’s governor has signed into law a crackdown on medical marijuana, one of two measures designed to ferret out people improperly using and selling untaxed marijuana. The law limits caregivers, those who grow pot on behalf of patients, to 99 plants. The change means that some high-volume caregivers will face the same oversight as commercial growers, paying licensing fees and undergoing background checks. The new rules have support from the recreational pot industry, which has complained that light regulation on Colorado’s caregivers has invited black-market growers who don’t face residency requirements, background checks or commercial “seed-to-sale” tracking used to ensure pot plants are grown and sold legally. “We’re really trying to make sure that caregivers are part of our regu-
latory system,” said Rep. Jonathan Singer, D-Longmont, who sponsored the bill. Caregivers have successfully resisted such limits for years, but the law includes some concessions that won their acceptance. For example, the law eliminates an unenforced requirement that parents of marijuana patients under 18 grow the drug. That rule had put some parents who moved to Colorado seeking cannabis treatments for their children outside the law. It also sets up a task force to start work on public access to the state’s few marijuana testing labs. The marijuana industry has generally opposed public access to the labs, fearing backlogs. Finally, the law allows school districts to consider allowing medical marijuana use on campus, as long as the pot is administered by a parent or designated medical professional, not a school nurse. The potin-schools allowance would be the nation’s first, though it’s not clear how many school districts would participate. Gov. John Hickenlooper said the law was a compromise worked out
by both political parties, the pot industry and caregivers. “It is a pretty good reflection of what the community wants,” Hickenlooper said. The law doesn’t require caregivers to register their growing operations. Instead, it encourages them to register by assuring them that authorities could verify their number of plants without starting a criminal investigation, instead of forcing caregivers to prove in court that their operations are legal. Hickenlooper signed the measure at a Denver police station to show goodwill between law enforcement and caregivers. The language in the law came after years of testy negotiations between medical marijuana groups and police. “There are good reasons for all sides to not trust each other,” said Teri Robnett, head of the Cannabis Patients Alliance who helped negotiate the language. The governor has yet to sign the other medical marijuana law. That measure updates marijuana regulations that were written before Colorado made pot legal for adults in 2012.
not set any sort of precedent. The facts surrounding these two claims are different from each other and different from other claims still pending from former and current El Paso County Sheriff’s Office employees. • The Board of County Commissioners engaged the law firm of Sherman and Howard to oversee and independent investigation of employment related claims. “This represents a much better alternative than to deal with ongoing expense and inherent risks of protracted litigation and perhaps, even more importantly, it’s an important step in letting Sheriff Elder restore employee morale and move forward with his plans to ensure that citizens receive the best possible service from the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office,” Schlabs said.

Don’t shoot the piano player Language, its meaning, and the way it travels about, has always been fascinating to me. And Colorado may claim its share of the responsibility for coloring some of that language. For example, during his 1883 tour of the United States, the world-renowned author Oscar Wilde, reportedly noted a sign hanging in Leadville saloon. “Don’t shoot the piano player; he is doing the best he can,” it read. The phrase became a colorful western variation meaning roughly the same as “Don’t kill the messenger.” Mark Twain (Sam Clemons) liked the reference so much he adopted it in some of his lectures, but neither Wilde nor Twain claimed it was their’s originally. Though it has no known Colorado origins, everyone understands what you are talking about when you use the phrase, “rule of thumb.” It is a rough measure, a general policy and universal guideline. But if you look hard enough, you will likely find an argument on the origins of that phrase. A commonly repeated story harkens back to English common law and determines the diameter of the stick allowed in wife beating: “If a stick were used, it should not be thicker than a man’s thumb.”
English Judge Francis Buller made a public statement to that effect in 1782, resulting in public outcry, satirical newspaper cartoons and his legacy forever being attached to the statement biographically. Thumbs, in fact, were used to gauge a Rob Carrigan lot of things. Tailors RESTLESS once thought, “Twice around the thumb is NATIVE once around the wrist.” People held up their thumbs to measure distance on the horizon, and as a personal favorite, brew masters stuck a thumb in the batch to determine temperature and readiness. In the Internet age, tracing a phrase back to the original source can be very tricky. I once mentioned a saying that multiple references placed responsibility for in the hands of Hopi elders in Oraibi, Ariz. The saying: “We are the ones we have been waiting for.” Shortly after referencing that in a maga-
zine piece, Bertha Parker, Hopi Press Officer for the Hopi Tribe, contacted me and asked if any tribal elders had said that to me directly. “A reporter asked me to verify the statement and I have been unable to do so,” said Parker. “I haven’t been able to pin it down and have checked with religious and traditional leaders. Not each and every individual. The portion you attribute to Hopi seems to be something Hopi may say but the rest of the poem is far from the manner Hopi speaks,” she said. “Hopi is not insulted or upset. The poem refers to swimming etc. No rivers here. Swimming in foot high mud or clay of gray color,” she noted in an email. “We appreciate the thoughtfulness and the mention of Hopi in a positive manner. I really am trying to find out who wrote the balance of the poem. It would not surprise me to learn that someone has taken a Hopi statement and added other versions.” Of course I told Bertha that I was sorry if the reference was incorrect. “No offense taken,” she graciously replied. Other than that, I don’t what to say, except perhaps “Don’t shoot me (the piano player), I am doing the best I can.”

Bill MacPhail was a man ahead of his time
Majors/Classified Manager ERIN ADDENBROOKE
The MacPhail family name has been associated with professional baseball, football, television broadcasting and media relations on some level since the early 1930s. Two members of the family are in the Baseball Hall of Fame; Larry MacPhail and his son, Lee, making them the only father-son inductees Lee’s brother, Bill, has a direct connection to professional baseball in Colorado Springs. Without him, the current version of the Colorado Springs Sky Sox might not be around today. Bill began his career as a road secretary with the New York Yankees in 1946 when his father, Larry, was president, general manager and co-owner of the team. Bill gained experience as an assistant general manager with the Triple-A Kansas City Blues and Double-A Memphis Chicks. On Oct. 29, 1949, once Colorado Springs was awarded an expansion franchise in the Single-A Western League (which also included teams in Pueblo and Denver), Colorado Springs team president Horace Stone named MacPhail as the team’s first general manager. Stone and MacPhail created a great reputation within the Colorado Springs area and nationally as Life magazine wrote two in-depth feature stories on the club in the early 1950s. MacPhail’s main task was to promote the Sky Sox in the new baseball market of around 50,000 people. The Pikes Peak region in 1950 included two radio stations, no television stations and two daily newspapers. When he was brought on board Colorado Springs was a team without a mascot. MacPhail was also in charge of getting a new stadium built (at Memorial Park) in time for the 1950 home opener. He did all of this during a time when baseball integration was in its infancy. According to Sky Sox historian Chris Moyer, MacPhail was a mover and a shaker with grandiose ideas on how to market the club - and make money. He was like our own local version of Bill Veeck and Charles Finley. Prior to his arrival in the Pikes Peak region, MacPhail already had a distinguished career as a war hero. He served in the navy in World War II, which included five stints in the European theater from 1942-45. The last time Colorado Springs had a professional minor league baseball team (prior to the 1950s) was in 1916 (for 11 games). The last full season baseball team in town was 1904, so MacPhail and Stone had some barriers to overcome. According to Moyer, after the name “Sky Sox” was created from a contest with the Gazette Telegraph, MacPhail was able to develop a new fan base in Colorado Springs. During the first two seasons, the Sky Sox - an affiliate of the Chicago White Sox - were able to draw a little over 107,000 fans, despite the team playing below .500 on the field (72-82
abrooks@coloradocommunitymedia.com
in 1950, and 64-87 in 1951). As MacPhail continued to build his associations in the community, talking the game of baseball, he was able to build a successful reputation in Colorado Springs. With the addition of several marquee players includDanny Summers ing Sam Hairston, Connie Johnson BEYOND and Bill Pope, along MAIN STREET with manager Don Gutteridge, the Sky Sox succeeded on the field and the box office in 1952. That year’s club improved to 87-67, finishing one game behind the Denver Bears in the Western League playoffs. A whopping 170,041 fans attending games; second best in the Western League that year. In 1953, the Sky Sox won the Western League regular season title at 95-59, edging out Denver by one game. While the attendance fell down to 141,117 fans, the Sky Sox maintained the second best mark among eight teams in the league. The 1954 season would prove the most taxing year for MacPhail, one that would eventually lead him to resign on Dec. 15, 1954. With most of the marquee players and manager from the 1953 regular season champions getting the call-up to Double-A or Triple-A for the 1954 season, the team would go through four managers, two of them player/managers, drop to the basement in the Western League at 48-106, and see attendance plummet to only 59,606 fans, worst in the league. There was a question in the offseason of whether the league would even survive for the 1955 season, with Denver and Omaha, the only two of the eight teams in the league to make a profit that season, get a promotion to Triple-A, leaving the league with only six teams, and Western League President Senator Edward C. Johnson stepping down to begin his second tenure as Governor of Colorado in 1955. The Sky Sox eventually moved out of Colorado Springs following the 1958 season. The new version of the team came back to the area in 1988. MacPhail left the Sky Sox to become the public relations for the new Kansas City Athletics. Several weeks earlier, the Philadelphia A’s announced an ownership change and a franchise move to Kansas City for the 1955 season. After one season with Kansas City, MacPhail was hired by CBS Sports to become a sports director, then an executive with the network. MacPhail’s tenure at CBS would provide to be historic on many levels.
Along with the start of TV coverage of “The Masters” in 1956, MacPhail was at the helm when CBS was the first to have televised coverage of the Olympics, paying only $50,000 to carry the 1960 Winter Olympics from Squaw Valley, Calif., and $394,000 for the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome. MacPhail was able to work out a leaguewide television contract package with Pete Rozelle and the NFL, the first deal of its kind in 1961 involving revenue sharing (teams had individual contracts at that time), for $4.65 million. The basis of the revenue sharing TV contract would make MacPhail the first recipient of the NFL Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Pete Rozelle Radio and Television award. During that Winter Olympics in 1960, an inquiry about a slalom skier would lead to the advent to a feature created during MacPhail’s tenure. Race officials inquired to review a tape of the race to see if a slalom skier had missed a gate. Several years later in 1963, the Army vs. Navy game on CBS would be the first game to install the use of instant replay during a game. MacPhail also had Major League Baseball on CBS sports packet through 1966. He also developed the “CBS Sunday Sports Spectacular,” a sports anthology series, in 1960. Among the important on-air hires during MacPhail’s career at CBS included Pat Summerall, Chris Schenkel, Jack Whitaker, Jim McKay and Frank Gifford. Health problems would force MacPhail to retire from CBS in 1973. Several years later, MacPhail would head to Atlanta to begin a new sports division for Ted Turner’s CNN in 1979. MacPhail worked to create access of acquiring highlights from various sports to be aired during CNN broadcasts. Among the hires during his 16 years at CNN, some of the big names included Dan Patrick, Nick Charles, Fred Hickman, Jim Huber, Keith Olbermann, Hannah Storm and Dan Hicks. MacPhail died on Sept. 4, 1996, at age 76 from complications due to heart surgery. Two more generations of MacPhails also have been involved in professional baseball.

Limited relief to assessment requirements Testing and schooling are often synonymous, and testing is not a strange phenomenon at this time of year. We expect to take finals at the end of a semester. We expect end-of-year projects assessing what has been learned. We expect testing to punctuate our school days and to have it provide relevant data with which to inform and shape our instruction. What we don’t expect is for testing to monopolize our school days. The 2014-2015 school year brought us unprecedented testing requirements. We implemented new online testing procedures, set up labs, managed Pearson (vendor) outages, trained test administrators, and tested our students more than we ever have, but some relief appears to be on the horizon. All of this was done while continuing to provide an excellent education for our students. Our school board consistently advocated for a reduction of testing this past year. Colorado legislators responded to the concerns expressed by educators, parents, and school boards with HB 15-1323. The following is an overview of HB 15-1323 provided by the Colorado Department of Education. Eliminates 11th grade PARCCdeveloped English language arts and math state assessments; Replaces the 10th grade PARCC assessments with an assessment that is both aligned to the
Colorado Academic Standards and the 11th grade college entrance exam (note, both the 10th grade and 11th grade exam will require a competitive procurement); Retains science state assessments, once Karen Brofft per level (elementary, middle, and GUEST high school with no 12th-grade testing); COLUMN Eliminates social studies state assessments (however, under S.B. 15-56 social studies will still be assessed using a sampling method once per level with no 12th-grade testing such that each school is assessed once every three years); Requires districts to adopt policies allowing parents to excuse their students from state assessments; Eliminates redundancies between the READ Act and school readiness assessment requirements; Allows districts to request paper/pencil format of online state assessments; Allows for more flexibility in testing English learners in their native language; Clarifies use of state assessments in educator effectiveness evaluations; Retains the 2014-15 accredi-

The 2015 Legislative Session closed with limited relief to the testing regime. Of the 119 education bills that surfaced during the session, we were left with one in the final hours that represented a compromise and an attempt to ease the burden of testing and meet Federal mandates. While some aspects of the bill are clear, there still are some aspects of the bill that need further clarification. CDE will provide additional communication with regard to HB-15-1323 bill throughout the summer. As clarification is provided, we will share it with our families and our community. We can also expect that new bills related to assessment will be introduced during the 2016 Legislative Session. Our number one priority in LewisPalmer School District will always be our students. We provide a quality educational experience for our students. Our students consistently perform at the top of the state in terms of academics, athletics, and activities. Education in Lewis-Palmer goes well beyond testing because we believe in developing the whole child. Our priorities ensure our students are successful now and well beyond graduation day. On behalf of our Board of Education and our entire district, we pledge this commitment to our students and our community.

tation ratings and school plan types for the 2015-16 school year, giving districts and schools a year to understand and adapt to the baseline data provided by the new assessments (additionally, the accountability clock will pause and will not advance a year on July 1, 2016); and Creates a two-phase assessment pilot program for districts and the state. While this bill does not ease the testing burden to the degree we would have liked, it does offer some relief to the testing regime for the 2015-2016 school year. Additionally, in order for these changes to be implemented, waivers from current federal laws must be received. Regardless, students will still spend too much time testing. The bill does not take us out of PARCC, which currently requires two windows of testing in the spring. There is a provision for school districts to participate in an alternative assessment pilot; however, the feasibility of the pilot is a bit unclear at this time. HB 15-1323 bill also does not contain language holding districts harmless for low participation rates due to parent refusals (opting students out of testing). Lewis-Palmer School district supports parental choice in this matter; however, we continue to be concerned about how low participation rates will impact our accountability rating.

Complete remodeling history of Monument is available online Staff report Today, BuildZoom announced the release of its building permit map in Monument — the first application of its kind to provide homeowners with details on every home improvement project in their neighborhood, including a summary of the work, how much it cost and who did the work. People can key in their address and instantly see the details of what’s happening to homes in their neighborhood. Additional features allow users to filter by project type (e.g. electri-
cal, solar) and cost. Through the map, people can also learn about the contractors who have worked in their neighborhoods. The permit mapping project is part of BuildZoom’s broader initiative, to improve the consumer experience in the remodeling and construction industry, which lacks transparency and accountability. According to BuildZoom Co-founder David Petersen, “Our mission is to collect the world’s information on remodeling and making it accessible and easily digestible for the public.” Facts about the BuildZoom Permit Map:
It provides access to information on over 80 million permitted improvements in the US. The information is collected from more than 600 local permit departments. Permits are matched to our database of over 3.5 million licensed contractors. Currently, more than 800,000 unique visitors come to BuildZoom each month to get information that will help them make a better hiring decision To learn more about the Permit Mapping project and see some of the ways people are using it already, visit: http://blog.buildzoom. com/building-permit-map
About BuildZoom: BuildZoom’s mission is to bring transparency and accountability to the remodeling and construction industry. Using the world’s largest collection of construction data, which includes information on over 3.5 million licensed contractors and 80 million construction projects nationwide, they provide both homeowners and contractors with unique and new ways of looking at the industry. Based out of San Francisco, BuildZoom’s investors include Formation 8 and Y Combinator.
For many low-income workers, calling in sick is a luxury By Anne D’Innocenzio The Associated Press
For Shannon Henderson, getting a cold or flu could be the difference between putting food on the table and going hungry. As a part-time customer service representative at a Walmart in Sacramento, California, Henderson is one of an estimated 40 million American workers for who calling in sick is a luxury. If they don’t work, they don’t get paid. “I’m super afraid of getting sick,” said Henderson, 29, who slathers on hand sanitizer at work in hopes of fending off illness. Paid sick leave is the next frontier in the fight for the country’s lowest earners. Some of the same workers’ rights groups that grabbed headlines recently by pushing companies for wage hikes are steering the conversation toward paid sick leave. The debate has caught the attention of governments and companies alike. President Barack Obama is calling for federal legislation that would require companies to guarantee workers paid sick days.
And since San Francisco started requiring that in 2007, nearly 20 cities and three states - Connecticut, Massachusetts and California - have passed similar measures. New York, Maryland and other states are considering laws too. And McDonald’s Corp. and Walmart Stores Inc., which have announced wage hikes recently, are making changes to their paid sick leave policies. “Paid sick days are a job issue,” said Ellen Bravo, executive director for Family Values (at) Work, a network of coalitions fighting to pass paid sick days and family leave policies. “When you don’t have sick pay, you get docked.” The new focus comes amid wide disparities between the benefits received by the top and bottom rungs of the corporate ladder. Sixty-one percent of U.S. workers get at least one paid sick day, according to a national compensation survey of employee benefits conducted last year by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. But only 20 percent of workers whose wages are at the bottom 10 percent get paid
sick leave, compared with 87 percent in the top 10 percent. There’s also a difference when comparing part-time and full-time employees: Seventy-four percent of full-time workers get paid sick leave, while 24 percent of part-time workers do, according to BLS. Despite the disparities, some industry groups are fighting against laws requiring sick leave pay. Lisa Horn, director of congressional affairs at Society for Human Resource Management, a human resource management trade group, says many companies are leaning toward policies that lump sick, personal and vacation days together. But she says laws force companies to scale back on those benefits to keep down the costs associated with people taking sick days off. “These mandates have a chilling effect on employers’ ability to innovate and be creative with their leave options,” she said. Eileen Appelbaum, senior economist at Center for Economic and Policy Research, says mandated sick pay has not had a negative impact on some companies that have been surveyed. According to a survey the
group did of businesses in Connecticut, which has required paid sick leave since 2012, one-third of workers took no paid sick leave. “They treat them as insurance,” she said. Big companies with operations nationwide are changing their paid sick leave policies ahead of legislation. In February, Walmart, the largest U.S. private employer, said within about a year it would end the one-day wait for sick pay for all full-time U.S. workers. That’s a change from the current system that requires Walmart workers in the U.S. to wait a day to use sick days, which means they have to use personal days on the first day out sick. (Fulltime workers can earn up to two personal days and about six days of sick leave pay a year.) Randy Hargrove, a Walmart spokesman, said the company also is reviewing its sick policy for part-time workers, who account for half of its 1.3 million-person workforce in the U.S. Currently, if part-time workers are ill, they have to use personal days.

Local group donates hand-made dresses Simple sewing techniques provide dignity to girls around the world By Jennifer Cunningham Contributing writer
Sometimes the simplest idea can have the greatest impact. For Rachel Cinader, founder and president of Hope 4 Women International, the idea of providing dresses to girls in the poorest countries and communities was fleeting. However, upon traveling to Uganda supporting her H4WI tailoring program, the idea came flooding back, along with the support to launch Dress A Girl Around the World. Established in 2009, the Dress A Girl Around the World campaign brings dignity to girls and women with hand-sewn dresses. In many countries, girls are preyed upon. When they own a dress, it gives the appearance they are well cared for, discouraging would-be predators. As an added deterrent, Dress a Girl labels are attached to the outside of each dress, sending a message that the wearer is under the care of an organization. Dresses find their way to remote villages through mission trips, and sometimes individuals, who feel called to support the cause. Just last week, a Southwest Airlines flight attendant delivered a large suitcase full of dresses to her native Ghana village. “Shipping pallets of dresses is cost-prohibitive and the likelihood of them reaching their intended destination is slim,” said Teresa Langsford, southern Colorado DAG ambassador. Thirty-eight DAG ambassadors throughout 24 states serve as conduits for individuals or groups wanting to donate dresses. Church mission groups and relief organizations, who are aware of DAG, contact their local ambassador for the required number. To date, more than 200,000 dresses have been delivered to 80-plus countries across the globe. On May 12, more than 40 women from the Tri-Lakes community gathered at The Ascent Church in Monument to sew dresses. They were adding to their desired stock of 500 dresses to send on four mission trips the church sponsors throughout the year. Some members were experienced seam-

The room was full of tables covered in sewing machines, donated material and finished dresses. Some women cut patterns while others ironed finished pieces. “Our hope is these women will take this project back to their communities and continue the mission,” shared Neva Rath, director of Women’s Ministries at The Ascent Church. Made from T-shirts and pillow cases or spare material, every dress includes a pocket. In the pocket is a hand-crafted doll, a new pair of underwear, and a special note to the recipient. For most, this is their first and only dress. The message intended for each girl is that she is loved, special and cared for. “By providing a new dress, you may well be changing a young girl’s destiny,” states Suzanne Lofgren, Director of DAG. Anyone can orchestrate a sewing event. Even if there isn’t a specific cause or loca-
More than forty women gathered May 12 in the basement of The Ascent Church to work on dresses. Members of the community, as well as some from Denver, worked tirelessly for three hours creating beautiful clothing from t-shirts and fabric scraps.
Something as simple as a t-shirt dress can give a girl dignity and protect her from exploitation. Each dress is adorned with special embellishments and includes a new pair of underwear and a hand-made doll in the skirt pocket. tion, dresses can be donated for distribution to prospective groups traveling abroad.

A new birth of freedom July 4th activities in monument By Frank Bittinger
Monument Hill Kiwanis Club publicity director On April 9, 1865, at Appomattox Court House, Virginia, General Robert E. Lee surrendered the Army of Virginia to General Ulysses S. Grant of the Union Army. Seventeen days later, on April 26, 1865, Gen. Joseph E. Johnston surrendered the Army of Tennessee to General William Tecumseh Sherman, near Durham Station, North Carolina, signaling the end of the American Civil War. Over a week before Johnston’s surrender, on Good Friday evening, April 14, 1865, John Wilkes Booth shot President Abraham Lincoln at Ford’s Theater in Washington, D.C. Mortally wounded, Lincoln died the following morning, April 15, 1865. This year, the 150th anniversary of the end of the American Civil War, we celebrate with the theme: “A New Birth of Freedom,” taken from Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address. Delivered on Nov. 19, 1863, this historic speech of less than 300 words was delivered by Lincoln in just over two minutes. His timeless words remain among the most influential statements of national purpose ever crafted. He inspired generations of Americans to understand that freedom is not free; that great sacrifices have been made to forge this nation of free and equal people. This year’s parade theme reminds us all of our responsibility to nourish our freedoms, giving them new birth so that they may endure forever. Planning for this year’s Tri-Lakes Fourth of July celebration began last August and details are finalized throughout the year. The events include: • The Barn Dance with live music from the band Reckless, at Sibell’s Barn behind 231 Front Street in Monument is sponsored by Dorothy and Si Sibell the night before on July 3rd to kick off the holiday celebration. Tickets at the door: $10 per person; $15 per
couple. • The Palmer Lake July 4th 33rd Annual Fun Run, sponsored by Palmer Lake Elementary School, is a fast 4-mile run on Santa Fe Trail. Begin at Palmer Lake and end in Monument in time for the parade and festivities. This is a point to point race. Bus transportation back to Palmer Lake will be available after the race. All proceeds go to Palmer Lake Elementary School. Register at either the Palmer Lake or Monument Library or online at: www.july4funrun.com. • The pancake breakfast is held at St Peter Catholic Church with pancakes, sausage, scrambled eggs, juice, and coffee, served hot 7 to 10 a.m. on July 4th and sponsored by the Knights of Columbus. Tickets at the door: Adults $7, children $4. First responders and military in uniform eat free. • The Monument Hill Kiwanis 4th of July Parade — the children’s parade at 9:30 a.m. and the Main Parade at 10 a.m. — travels one mile through downtown Monument with bands, floats, fire trucks, military units and more. This year’s 39th annual Monument Hill Kiwanis 4th of July Parade is proudly sponsored by Integrity Bank and Trust. To register a group in the parade, visit www.monumenthillkiwanis.org or contact RF Smith at rff106k@gmail.com. The Tri-Lakes Chamber of Commerce Street Fair runs from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. right in the center of the parade route. The street fair, sponsored by Comcast/Xfinity has more than 100 vendors from food to crafts and fun for the entire family. To reserve a booth in the street fair, contact the chamber or visit: www.trilakeschamber.com The beer garden, run by Tri-Lakes Chamber of Commerce and family friendly, will be open in Limbach Park, at the corner of Front and Second streets in Monument from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. The Monument Music Festival, featuring several musicians, begins after the parade until 9 p.m. on July 4th. There will be various venues in downtown and will feature live music by WireWood Station, The Asht nz, Skin and Bones, Miguel Dakota and the Differents, and The Inman Brothers, along with food and beer concessions.
“Growing up here I didn’t think I’d go to UCCS. I thought I needed a bigger school to get the quality education and degree I wanted. But all it took was a campus visit and I found out what a hidden jewel UCCS is. I’m a dual major and the academics are challenging. I also love that I’m just a car ride from my family if they need me for anything.” — Dylan Shuster, Junior in Chemistry and Biochemistry

Work ing t he st re et s
Monument resident doing his part to rescue those in the sex-trafficking trade By Danny Summers
dsummers @coloradocommunitymedia.com
Paul Palmisano, principal of Life Academy in Monument, works the streets of Front Range Cities in Colorado Springs, Denver and Pueblo attempting to rescue people from the sex trafficking trade. He tries to keep a low profile when he’s working the streets. Courtesy photo truck stops, bus depots, train stations, and online, and the average age for entry into prostitution for child victims in this country is 13 years old,” Palmisano said. “It’s alarming, but a lot of this is low on law enforcement’s radar.” Sex-trafficking, also known as sex-slavery, is rampant in massage parlors, truck stops and on the streets. “Those massage parlors, vs. a massage therapist, you see are brothels, are just fronts for sex trafficking,” Palmisano said. “I walk into them and introduce myself and say `Hi, I’m a Christian missionary’ and try to give them my literature. They might take it. They might not.” The statistics on sex trafficking in the United States are overwhelming. “Describing human trafficking by quoting statistics is risky in three ways,” Palmisano said. “First, the statistics are guesstimates at best. Second, it reduces human
suffering to mere numbers. And third, it makes it seem as though governmentsponsored programs could provide a cure. I know one man who has been homeless for 47 years. Palmisano added that “Nobody knows for sure how much income is generated by the sex-trade since pimps don’t claim their income or the depreciation of their `assets’ on tax forms.” It is estimated by federal and international agencies, however, that this despicable slave industry generates $32 billion a year - more profit than that of Nike, Google, and Starbucks combined. The United States Department of Justice estimates that approximately 300,000 children a year are at risk of being added to the number of individuals being prostituted in America. “This is harsh data to absorb, but even if the estimates were off by 50 percent it would still be a hideous trade from which
fewer than 3 percent escape alive,” Palmisano said. Palmisano has made several trips to his home state of New York to work the streets of Brooklyn and some of the other boroughs. He shares a bit of food and water — and the Gospel — with people in need. He also shares the timeless message wherever he goes. “The Lord Jesus Christ paid the price for our freedom; freedom from earthly bondage and freedom from eternal hell,” Palmisano said. “Like Jesus said, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the father except through me.’” “It’s a simple truth, but it has liberated every single person who has ever trusted in it, and it is the only hope for people who are enslaved today.” Those who would like to help Palmisano out financially can visit www.gofundme. com/tf8cv4m.

Paul Palmisano is the co-founder and principal of Life Academy in Monument. It is a Christian alternative middle and high school that has been in business for over a decade. When he’s not setting up curriculum or mopping the floors of the school house, located in the woods just north of Baptist Rd., he works the streets of Denver, Colorado Springs and Pueblo trying to witness to the homeless and rescue those involved in the sex trafficking trade. On May 13, Palmisano was in Denver working in the Triangle Park area when he experienced the fruits of his giving. “Thank God that I was able to place a Christian homeless man, who was recently (beat up), into a shelter tonight,” Palmisano said. “This was our 27th rescue. “Pray for Frank, 32, who somehow managed three weeks ago to move himself from the Carolinas to Colorado. He literally had all of his teeth knocked out three nights ago when he was beaten by the railroad tracks. Frank is biblically literate and has information if he wishes to be discipled by me or anyone else.” Palmisano has spent more than 55 nights and 300 hours on the streets of Front Range cities this year alone. “I really felt called by God to reach out to these people even more this year,” Palmisano said. “You don’t know the half of what goes on out there on the streets. We just don’t sit in the car and throw out donuts. We get out and walk the streets and meet with these people.” Palmisano said he has been “jumped” three times this year — once each in Denver, Colorado Springs and Fountain — by assailants that have attempted to cause him bodily harm and/or rob him. He has not let that stop him from continuing his mission “ Within 48 hours of running away from home, one in three teenagers will be lured into prostitution by adults on the lookout in

Pikes Peak Hill Climb just a month away Long-time Hill Climb promoter Bob Gillis to be inducted into Colorado Springs Sports Hall of Fame By Danny Summers
dsummers@colorado communitymedia.com It’s hard to believe, but the 93rd running of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is just a month away. This year’s event takes place Sunday, June 28. The race began in 1916 as a way for Spencer Penrose to promote his Pikes Peak Highway. The race was not run during World War I and World War II. Tickets are currently available for purchase with a new pricing structure that has created the lowest ticket prices for large groups attending the race since before the turn of the century. Spectators at the “Race to the Clouds” will be able to view the race for as little as $30 per person. Unlike the majority of the world’s sporting events, the total number of spectators attending the Pikes Peak Hill Climb is not limited to the number of seats available, but the number of vehicles that can park on the mountain. In an effort to create more opportunities for spectators to enjoy the race, a new ticketing structure has been created with ticket prices reflecting the total number of passengers in a vehicle. “For 99 years the Race to the Clouds has been a per-person based spectator event,” said Tom Osborne, PPIHC Chairman of the Board. “We are tenants of Pikes Peak `America’s Mountain’ one day of the year and with that there is an extremely limited amount of space we are allowed to use for parking on Race Day. We wanted to develop something that would generate opportunities for more race fans to be able to enjoy this nearly century old American tradition and are confident that this is exactly what our new ticketing structure will do.” In October, long-time Hill Climb promoter Bob Gillis will be inducted into the Colorado Springs Sports Hall of Fame. Gillis became involved in Hill Climb racing when he sponsored Larry Carnes in the 1979 and there has been no stopping him since.

He became involved with the newly formed Colorado Hill Climb Association (CHCA) and served as president in 1982, successfully resurrecting the Lands End Hill Climb in Grand Junction after 40 years. Gillis’ passion for the sport grew and he successfully promoted races for team owners and drivers at Los Alamos in New Mexico, Buffalo Peaks near Buena Vista and the Continental Divide Auto Hill Climb near Salida, which was not only good for racing but also had a positive economic impact to these communities. By adding these races, teams had a better annual competition schedule, more opportunity to practice and more events to help promote the Pikes Peak
International Hill Climb. Gillis was integrally involved with the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, the nation’s second oldest auto race, for more than 35 years, serving as a sponsor, member of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb Board of Directors and Board President, first in 1996 and again from 20082011. Since 1979, he has demonstrated commitment to the sport of hill climb racing by supplying tires and major sponsorships allowing more teams to compete, and ultimately saving, the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb during difficult times in the event’s history. Gillis will be joined at the Hall of Fame
induction ceremony by the 1985 Air Force Academy Football Team, Pikes Peak AdAmAn Club, Michelle Blessing, Greg Burks, Trenidad Hubbard and William Wright. The 16th annual Colorado Springs Sports Hall of Fame Banquet and Induction Ceremony will take place on Tuesday, Oct. 27, at The Broadmoor World Arena, with a reception at 6:00 p.m. and dinner and banquet at 7 p.m. Reservations for tables or seats can be made by calling The Sports Corp at (719) 634-7333 ext. 1003 or by e-mail at rsvp@ thesportscorp.org.
Rangers come up short in state championship soccer game Lewis-Palmer loses to Cheyenne Mountain, 2-1, on penalty kicks By Danny Summers
dsummers@colorado communitymedia.com After 80 minutes of regulation play and two 15-minute overtime periods, Lewis-Palmer and Cheyenne Mountain were deadlocked in a 1-1 tie in the Class 4A girls state soccer championship May 20 at Dick’s Sporting Good Park in Commerce City. Cheyenne Mountain eventually won the game on its sixth penalty kick. The Rangers had 14 corner kicks, nine coming in the first half. But they found themselves trailing 1-0 on a Hannah Gerdin goal midway through the first stanza. Lewis-Palmer finally broke through and tied the game on its 12th corner kick when Cheyenne Mountain could not clear the ball. Rangers junior Brenna Oakey sent a perfect cross pass to sophomore Anna Donisi, who blasted it past Cheyenne Mountain goalkeeper Stephanie Deines for her fourth goal of the season. Cheyenne Mountain, the No. 3 seed in the 32-team tournament, has won the last three state championships. The Indians have won seven state titles in eight trips to the finals. The No. 8 seeded Rangers (17-2-1) went 71 days between losses. They fell to No. 2 The Classical Academy, 2-1, in the season opener on March 10. TCA didn’t lose its first match until it was stunned in

the second round by Standley Lake. Lewis-Palmer and Cheyenne Mountain (14-5-1) played to a double overtime scoreless tie April 9 on the Indians’ home turf. Penalty kicks are not used to decide games during the regular season. Cheyenne Mountain ended up with the No. 1 seed based on Pikes Peak Athletic Conference tiebreakers. Lewis-Palmer advanced to the state title game with two second-half goals to beat Windsor, 2-0, in the semifinals on May 16. Annica Fletemeyer scored the
first goal for the Rangers and Bri Alger added a second 15 minutes later. Lewis-Palmer was making its seventh appearance in a state championship game. The Rangers have won three state titles, the last coming in 1996. The Rangers entered the finals having outscored their first four playoff opponents 13-0. Lewis-Palmer also shutout its last three regular season opponents. The Rangers surrendered just seven goals during the regular season as Arsenault played lights out behind a suffocat-
ing defense. Alger, a sophomore, led the Rangers in scoring this season with 24 goals and nine assists. Junior Sarah Lyons had 14 goals and five assists. Also with solid seasons offensively were senior Bella Mantaro (7 goals, 4 assists), Fletemeyer (6 goals, 4 assists), senior Danielle Hatton, 2 goals, 4 assists), sophomore Kirsten Hatton (6 assists) and sophomore Sammy Kaslausky (4 assists).

Rangers’ baseball plans put on hold again due to weather Lewis-Palmer was supposed to resume postseason late last week By Danny Summers dsummers@coloradocommunitymedia.com First, it was the quirky wild-card playoff seeding system that sent the Lewis-Palmer High School baseball team on the road for the postseason; despite not losing a league game in two years, or to a team from Colorado during the regular season over that span. Then it was uncharacteristic sustained May rain, snow and hail - causing flooding - that kept the Rangers on hold from playing a steady flow of games. As a result, Lewis-Palmer was forced to resume the state tournament on May 21 in a win-or-go-home Elite Eight game against Erie. Results of that game, and any other the Rangers played, were not available at press time due to the Tribune’s early printing schedule. On May 20, Colorado High School Activities Association (CHSAA) associate director Bert Borgmann announced that the Elite Eight games were being moved to Metro State University’s Regency Sports Complex. “Unplayable conditions made continuing the tournament at Bishop Machebeuf in Denver and All-Star Park in Lakewood impossible for at least through the end of last week,” Borgmann said. Lewis-Palmer’s first-round Elite Eight game against Wheat Ridge on May 15 was stopped in the bottom of the sixth inning due to lightning, rain and hail, which eventually flooded the grounds. The Rangers were holding onto a slim 2-1 lead at the time. Lewis-Palmer junior right-hander Paul Tillotson used a 90-plus mph fastball to keep Wheat Ridge batters off balance, striking out 11. When the game resumed at All-Star Park on May 16, Tillotson was unavailable to pitch due to his high pitch count the day before. Wheat Ridge scored two runs off Lewis-Palmer senior right-hander Colin Cicere when the game resumed and eked out a 3-2 victory. Lewis-Palmer (19-3) was supposed to play Erie on May 18 in the double-elimination loser’s bracket round. The Rangers left Monument about 8 a.m., but received a call to turn the bus around and head home when heavy rains again made the field unplayable. At that point, Borgmann decided rather than continue to squeeze games in at All-Star Park he would wait and see what the rest of the week’s weather looked like. The state tournament was originally scheduled to end on May 22, but that schedule was altered due to the weather. If Lewis-Palmer defeated Erie on May 21, it was scheduled to play Evergreen that night. Evergreen had graduation ceremonies at 2 p.m. on May 21. Lewis-Palmer had a 19-3 record heading into the Erie game. The Rangers are a senior-heavy team. Tillotson, sophomore Brian Cook (.455 batting average, 3 home runs, 10 doubles) and junior Nick Chorney are the only non-seniors on the team. The Rangers were 17-4 in 2014 and lost in district play.

Palmer Ridge’s Kellsey Sample stays the course at girls’ state golf championship Sample finished 13th at tournament, held May 18-19 By Danny Summers
dsummers@coloradocommunitymedia.com Palmer Ridge’s High School’s Kellsey Sample finished tied for 13 th at the Class 4A girl’s state golf championship, played May 18-19 at River Valley Golf Course in Carbondale. Sample fired a two-day score of 166 (81-85), 22-over par. Sample had a solid day one of the competition, scoring eight pars, two birdies and six bogeys. Her only poor hole was the par 5 474-yard second, which she had an uncharacteristic 10. On day two, Sample had seven pars, one birdie, six bogeys and four double bogeys. All three of her birdies over two days of play were on par 4s. Two other Tri-Lakes girls also played in the prestigious tournament. Discovery Canyon’s Paige Anderson was tied for 62nd at 62-over par (111-95, 206). Palmer Ridge’s Teagan Sullivan was 82 nd (117-134, 251). Cheyenne Mountain won the team title, its third consecutive. The Indians’ Kylee Sullivan finished second in the tournament at 5-over par (73-76, 149). During regional play earlier this month, Sample finished second to Sullivan. The second day of the 5A girls’ golf championship was cancelled on May 19 due to rain and an unplayable course. That meant the results from the first day of competition stood up as final. Regis Jesuit won the 5A team title, and Gillian Vance of Dakota Ridge won the individual championship. The 5A tournament was set to be held at the Olde Golf Course, but an overnight rain on May 18, which was still falling the next morning, left a lot of standing water on the course. “The course was deemed unplayable by course officials,” said Jenn Roberts-Uhlig, Colorado High School Activities Cup of Joe Association assistant commissioner who was
acting as site director. “The result is that, unfortunately, we have to cancel the second day of the tournament.” The 5A tournament was hoping to move ahead with an 8 a.m. shotgun start on May 19, but golfers never got a chance to get out on the course. The decision was made to not push to play into May 20 in order to mitigate lost school time and cost to schools. In addition, the course was not available on May 20, meaning golfers would have had to come back next week. It is a long-standing policy of the tournament to have first round results hold up should the second round be
canceled. That was communicated to everyone the first day of play. “That’s just been the policy all along that if we ever got to the situation, that’s what we would do,” said CHSAA associate commissioner Tom Robinson, who is in charge of golf. “The teams and players knew that if one of the rounds could not get in, we would do this. Everyone was aware of that. “We hoped to be able to play the round, and took steps to try and get it in early, but unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate.”
