Investigators search home of Mark Redwine La Plata County Sheriff ’s Offices: It’s part of ongoing investigation, third time father’s house searched By Lisa Collacott Authorities have searched the Vallecito home of Dylan Redwine’s father, Mark Redwine, nearly two months after the remains of the teen were found in rugged terrain nearby. Dan Bender, public information offi-
cer for the La Plata County Sheriff’s Office, said the search was part of an ongoing investigation. In a statement sent to the media, Bender said he was only authorized to say that the La Plata County SherRedwine iff’s Office along with assistance from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation and the Federal Bureau of Investigation served a search warrant on Mark Redwine’s home on Aug. 14. “La Plata County Sheriff’s Office has no
comment and will have no comment regarding what was taken during the execution of the search warrant nor regarding the nature of yesterday’s search,” Bender added. “As we have stated in the past, we have not labeled anyone as a suspect in this case. Due to the active nature of this criminal investigation we have no further comments.” According to KUSA Channel 9 in Denver, Mark Redwine told reporters that investigators searched his home for three hours and removed sections of carpet and wood flooring and took a fireplace poker, clothing and a cell phone. Redwine also said investigators dug a hole in his yard underneath
an outdoor staircase. Redwine’s home has been searched before. Dylan Redwine went missing from his father’s Vallecito home on Nov. 19, the day after arriving for a court ordered Thanksgiving visit. Mark Redwine said he had left home that morning to run some errands and when he returned, Dylan was gone. Dylan Redwine was 13 at the time and had recently moved to Monument with his mother. After months of searching for him, investigators found remains on Middle Mountain Road near Vallecito Lake and positively identified them on June 27 as Dylan’s.

he weather and a spirit of renewal and support contributed to record tunouts at the Black Forest Festival this weekend. “It was bigger than ever,” said Sherrie Lidderdale Saturday, a volunteer with Black Forest Community Club working at the pancake breakfast sponsored by CenturyLink. “I have helped with it every year for at least the last 10 years. We counted 870 served this year. That’s 200 more than we have ever done before,” she said. “We helped serve a lot of people,” Troop 70 Scoutmaster Nate Dowden said. Troop 70 is chartered by the Black Forest Community Club and regularly meets in the club house. There was also volunteer help from the Wonderful Waldo Women from Colorado Springs.

Troop 70 and other volunteers served more than 870 at the annual breakfast, this year sponsored by Century Link. That is nearly 200 more than any recent year according to Sherrie Lidderdale, a volunteer with Black Forest Community Club.
Some Palmer Lake residents are not happy by the Town Council vote earlier this month to ban sales of marijuana for recreational use, and they plan to do something about it. According to Jim Adams, on Aug. 12, a group of Palmer Lake citizens filed a letter of intent to repeal the ordinance. The town clerk, Tara Berreth, received the letter that seeks to circulate a petition to overturn the council’s 4-1 vote on Aug. 8. “I’m just a normal citizen,” Adams said. “I want to be treated the same as anyone else who buys Budweiser. Men and women like me just want to go to the corner store and buy our 1/8 ounce of marijuana and go back to our house and smoke our pot. We don’t want to be bothered and we don’t want to bother anyone.” Amendment 64 was passed by Colorado voters in last November’s general election. It was a ballot measure to amend the state constitution, outlining a statewide drug policy for cannabis. The amendment makes the personal use, possession and limited home growing of marijuana legal for adults 21and older. It establishes a system in which marijuana is regulated and taxed similarly to alcohol. While El Paso County as a whole voted against the amendment, Palmer Lake residents passed the vote by about 55 to 45 percent margin, according to statistics kept by the El Paso County Clerk and Recorder Office. Some Palmer Lake council members who voted to ban the sales said they didn’t want their family-friendly town to become the Amsterdam of El Paso County. On July 2, town attorney Larry Gaddis and Berreth said the town must opt in Pot continues on Page 2

or out of local retail sales of recreational marijuana by Oct. 1. The town would then lose any capacity to receive tax revenues from the sale of recreational marijuana if it opts out. “The opt out is not part of the state constitution,” Adams said. “This amendment passed. It’s real. We live here. We’re going to continue to buy pot forever.” Neighboring cities and counties in the state have banned marijuana sales for recreational use. They cited that they were worried about being overrun with a drugusing element. Adams and his group who favor the sale of marijuana for recreational use want to circulate a petition to get a question on the

“I think it is important that we relay the message that a year later, it is not so grey,” said Chris Carlson, who lost her home in Mountain Shadows to the Waldo Canyon fire. She said she felt compelled to help others this year, if she could. Carlson said she really misses the trees in her neighborhood. “Ninety-one little stumps after the fire, but it just takes time.” She said she moved back into her rebuilt home on Aug. 5. Thousands lined the parade route to
April ballot asking the town’s voters to overturn the ordinance. As of late last Friday, Adams said they were still waiting on the town clerk, Berreth, to tell them how many signatures they need to get the issue on the ballot. Adams was concerned that the deadline might have passed to gather the needed signatures - he did not know how many signatures were required - to get it on the April ballot. “If that’s the case, then one of the next steps we’ll take is to recall all of (the council members) who voted on the ban,” Adams said. “It doesn’t matter if they were elected or not. “Some of these (council members) are snake oil salesmen. They are so hypocritical.” Adams added that his group will likely push to repeal the long-standing Palmer Lake ordinance that allows the sale of alcohol. cheer on participants. Nearly 90 booths and live music filled the forest. Also featured was the Air Force Academy Blue Steel band. “We are demonstrating our strong sense of community here in the forest,” said Eddie Bracken, BFCC president and this year’s chairman. “We are committed to helping our friends and neighbors, especially those who lost their homes begin the healing process. Holding the festival is one small step in our recovery. We’re inviting all to come see we are Black Forest together.” This year’s theme, “Recover, Rebuild and Restore – our community,” highlights the resilient nature of the Black Forest community and its residents. Donations will be accepted by the local charities that will serve the fire victims.

Work search may be waived for claimants affected by fire DUA claims will only be accepted through Aug. 27 By Special to the Tribune The Colorado Department of Labor and Employment announced that individuals who have become unemployed because of the Black Forest Wildfire in June may be eligible for Disaster Unemployment Assistance, a federal program that provides temporary financial assistance to workers and self-employed individuals who have lost their jobs because of a disaster and who do not qualify for regular unemployment benefits. A Major Disaster Declaration was issued for the Black Forest Wildfire by the president on July 26. With this declaration, individuals may now be eligible for unemployment assistance if their unemployment resulted from the physical damage or destruction of their place of employment or because of the physical inaccessibility of the worksite because of its closure by the federal, state or local government in immediate response to a wildfire. Claims can be filed atwww.coloradoui. gov In addition, the Department of Labor and Employment is announcing that individuals who are receiving unemployment benefits while living in the burn area will receive a waiver from their requirement to seek work beginning the week the fire began in their area. The start date for the Black Forest Wildfire was June 11. These individuals must continue requesting payment of unemployment benefits as they always have. As long as the fire is the only circumstance that is preventing them from looking for work, they should
report that they are able to work, available and looking for work. Some claimants impacted by the fire may currently receive Emergency Unemployment Compensation, federal benefits that go beyond the regular 26 weeks. Individuals who receive EUC benefits must complete a series of reemployment services within six weeks. However, for the immediate future, the Department of Labor and Employment is extending the amount of time in which those claimants must complete the services. If individuals lost their jobs because of the wildfire and are eligible for regular UI, they should apply for those regular unemployment benefits. Most people who were employees at a business impacted by the Royal Gorge Wildfire are likely eligible for regular UI. DUA is available only to those individuals who wouldn’t otherwise be eligible for regular unemployment benefits. These individuals will typically be self-employed individuals who don’t meet the “employment” qualifications (e.g., ranchers, farmers, in-home day care providers, etc.) or individuals who don’t have enough wage history but can prove that they were working or were scheduled to begin work on or after the date of the fire and now cannot perform that work any longer. If eligible, unemployment benefits are normally available for up to 26 weeks beginning the week following the presidential disaster declaration. Additional weeks may be payable during the period between the incident starting date, June 1, and the formal presidential declaration. When able to return to employment or self-employment, benefits will stop. The deadline is approaching to file a DUA claim. DUA claims will only be accepted through Aug. 27.

Low-interest federal disaster loans are available to Colorado residents and business owners affected by the Black Forest Fire that occurred June 11-21. U. S. Small Business Administration Administrator Karen G. Mills has announced. SBA acted under its own authority to declare a disaster following the denial of the state’s request for FEMA’s Individuals and Households program. The disaster declaration makes SBA assistance available in El Paso County and the neighboring counties of Crowley, Douglas, Elbert, Fremont, Lincoln, Pueblo and Teller. “The U. S. Small Business Administration is strongly committed to providing Colorado with the most effective and customer-focused response possible, and we will be there to provide access to federal disaster loans to help finance recovery for residents and businesses affected by the disaster,” said Mills. “Getting our businesses and communities up and running after a disaster is our highest priority at SBA.” “Beginning Wednesday, Aug. 14 at 1 p.m., SBA customer service representatives and counselors from the Colorado Springs Small Business Development Center will be on hand at the following SBA Disaster Loan Outreach Center to help individuals and businesses impacted by the Black Forest Fire,” said SBA’s Colorado District Director Greg Lopez. “The center is designed to provide key financial and counseling services to individuals and businesses impacted by the fire,” he continued. The center will be open on the days and times indicated. No appointment is necessary. According to Lopez, SBA CSRs will answer questions about SBA’s disaster loan programs, explain the application process, help each individual complete their application and close their approved loans. Colorado SBDC State Director Kelly Manning said, “Our SBDC counselors will provide free counseling on a wide variety of matters designed to help business owners re-establish their operations, overcome the effects of the disaster and plan for their future. Services include assessing business economic injury, evaluating the business’s strength, cash flow projections and most importantly, a review of all options to ensure each business makes decisions that are appropriate for its situation.

Early dude ranch fantastic, but almost forgotten Dude, I want to be a cowboy. Perhaps more than almost any other fantasy (if you disregard some of my racier ones) as Willie Nelson said, “I grew up dreaming of being a cowboy, and loving the cowboy ways.” It has always been simmering in the background. Growing up in the West, that is probably no surprise. But obviously, I am not alone. “A famous early dude was Theodore Roosevelt. After World War I the popularity of dude ranches increased enormously and during the 20s and 30s they were the main tourist attraction in the Rocky Mountain area. Writers like Owen Wister, Zane Grey and Mary O’Hara and painters like Remington and Russell brought the fabulous romance of cowboy life on an open frontier to millions throughout the world. Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show was an unprecedented success in Europe and the East,” according to Bayard Fox, who established “The Bitteroot” ranch in Wyoming in 1972. “Perhaps no other era in recent times has provided such picturesque color unless it is the East Africa of Isak Dinesen (Out of Africa), Beryl Markham (West with the Night) and Earnest Hemingway during much the same period. Two people who saw both cultures and wrote about them were Hemingway and Theodore Roosevelt though Roosevelt especially concentrated heavily on the hunting aspects of his long
trip to Kenya.” From The Dude Ranchers’ Association based in Cody, Wyoming: “Dude ranching did not begin at a defined time. It evolved slowly from several divergent sources in different locales. The first organizational gathering of these independent- minded pioneers occurred in Bozeman, Montana in September of 1926 at the urging of the Northern Pacific Railroad. The rail road, looking for an additional source of revenue and a means to combat the new method of travel, the automobile, saw the dude ranches of the area as natural partners in the burgeoning tourism industry of the West. This meeting of ranchers from the Yellowstone area led to the formation of The Dude Ranchers’ Association,” according to the organization’s website. “The formation of lasting bonds and memories still brings families back to
A town at the top of the Pass When the Denver and Rio Grande actually started building south from Denver, there were few towns along the way. The railroad needed to have stations roughly every five miles for a variety of reasons. One simple reason was to get water. The little steam locomotives could only carry enough for traveling about that far. From Denver it was a stiff climb for the little engines. A stop for fuel was also important; yes they burned coal, not wood. Coal, they carried, would get them about thirty miles. Another reason, much more in the logistics of the operation of the railroad was the need to have a place trains could pass another. Passenger business would require those trains to stop at every station, while freight trains would not. As they built south in 1870 little stations were planned, with interesting names. A team even scouted locations while they set upon names. General Palmer had a list he had drawn up, years before, but few of them were actually used. A few were named after investors in the railroad, but many were local land marks. Most of these are familiar to up today. On the new line south, a little station at the summit of the ridge between Denver and Colorado City was named Divide. Dr.

William A. Bell, one of General Palmer’s associates, had bought a large portion of land for a town and railroad development at this spot even before the first tracks were laid in Denver. When the construction crews arrived a box car was used as a station, but a rough log cabin would later serve as the station. The railroad had been part of an advertising show in Denver, and had built a small “model” station to show the public. When the show was over, the building was dismantled and moved to the grounds by the little lake on the top of the ridge. The railroad followed a stream all the way from Denver. At the top of the divide was a small lake, and strangely it generated a stream running to the south too. McFarland continues on Page 7

ranches generation after generation. This is truly a living testimony to the timelessness of the values and standards of the original dude ranchers. Today, as it did over a century ago, the western dude ranch experience offers relief for both the body and spirit of those seeking refuge from the pressures and routine of modern life.” So while recently sifting through old photos in Denver Public Library’s historic archive, I was fascinated by shots of Skelton Ranch early in the last century. Erik Swab, a former computer programmer turned historical researcher, apparently had a similar experience. Although Swab was first directed to the early ranch in Teller County by the United States Forest Service, his research for them, and his interest in hiking in the Pikes Peak area, according to a March story by Dave Phillips in the Colorado Springs Gazette. “When I first started asking about this place, there were so many rumors: It was a Japanese internment camp or a brothel or other things,” he is quoted in Phillips story. In fact, he said, it was a dude ranch — one of the first in the state. It was many things over the years, including a resort that courted the moneyed class, and a place where locals attended community dances and suppers, according to the account. The Skelton Mountain Ranch appar-
ently operated from 1905 to 1916 and was situated three and half miles west of Woodland Park, with 400 acres there, and an additional 1,140 acres near Divide, according to Swab’s research. “William Skelton was born in Kentucky in 1864 and married Lizzie Butler in 1885. They moved to Denver in 1898, where Skelton was a member of a law firm and briefly held the position of Judge. The couple left Denver in 1906 to reside in Woodland Park at the ranch,” writes David Martinek in Pikes Peak Country, citing Swab’s research. “The resort ranch was famous. It had 30 log guest cabins, a 10-room house and log dining house, a large three-level barn, and a 104-foot long chicken house and an assembly hall with a large stone chimney. The promotional literature claimed that each cabin had indoor plumbing, but the reality was that there were surely several outdoor privies, instead. The ranch could accommodate up to 250 people at $15/ week. And they only accepted “refined people as guests,’” writes Martinek. According to Swab’s research, a fire in 1908 destroyed several buildings and may have cut short its life as a dude ranch. It was sold to a St. Louis shoe company executive named F.A. Sudholts, in 1916, and was to focus mostly on raising stock, but was largely vacant after that until the 1940s.
Still waiting for the day the Sky Sox return to the postseason When I moved to the Pikes Peak region 12 years ago, the first team - pro, college or high school - that I adopted was the Colorado Springs Sky Sox. Having grown up watching - and later covering as a sports writer - minor league and major league baseball, I enjoyed the subtleties between the levels. It truly was a past time for me, whether I was eating a hot dog in the stands or taking notes in the press box. I first started covering the Sky Sox for The Gazette in 2001. At that time, the club was just four years removed from making its last playoff appearance, and just six years removed from winning it second Pacific Coast League championship. The anticipation was high among many folks in the community that better times were ahead. The excitement in the press box and in the ball park was almost electric in those days. The Sky Sox were, and still are, the Triple-A affiliate of the Colorado Rockies. It didn’t take long for news travel to and from Denver regarding player personnel, coaching and management decisions. The Sky Sox had a front office back then led by general manager Bob Goughan. The tight-knit group included Dwight Hall, Sam Polizzi, Rai Henniger, Gabe Ross, Corey Wynn, long-time broadcaster Dan Karcher, the late Chip Dreamer. Even long-time official scorer Marty Grantz was known to join the staff for a post-game beverage from time to time. On more than one occasion, Goughan pressed Rockies general manager Dan O’Dowd and the club’s minor league staff to do their best to stock Colorado Springs with quality prospects and key six-year free agents. After a disastrous 2002 season in which the Sky Sox won just 58 games, Goughan got his wish. Many of the organizations top prospects were sent to Colorado Springs in 2003 and 2004. The list of young studs included pitchers Jeff Francis and Aaron Cook, and position players Clint Barmes and Garrett Atkins. In 2003 and 2004, the Sky Sox postseason hopes came down to the last day of the season. But in each case, it was “Wait `til next year for Dem Bums.” Top prospects kept making their way to Colorado Springs, but the Sky Sox could never seem to win on a consistent basis. While other PCL teams made the postseason on a regular basis, like the Sacramento River Cats, the Sky Sox players had their suitcases packed when the season ended on Labor Day. Goughan was let go by long-time Sky
Sox owner Dave Elmore before the 2005 season. Tony Ensor took over the reins of the club. He arrived from Birmingham, where he had been in charge of a Double-A team in the Southern League. Ensor oversaw multi-million dollar upgrades to the stadium, including a spiffy new home club house, and an overhaul to the playing field, seating bowl and luxury suites. Ensor eventually hired his own front office staff, including hard-working and knowledgeable public relations specialist Mike Hobson, who had worked with Ensor in Birmingham. Ensor’s crew worked hard to improve the overall fan experience, most noticeably ramping up the number of fireworks shows per year. That seems to have had a direct effect on attendance, which has risen more than 100,000. Sadly, one day in 2007, Henniger suffered massive wounds when a firework malfunctioned beyond the outfield wall. His story and fight for life was well chronicled. I am happy to report that Henniger recovered and continues to make improvements. On the field, the Sky Sox have rarely been in contention the final month of the season. The only time - since 2004 - that they seriously challenged for a postseason berth was 2009. That was when they led their division by 7 ½ games with eight games remaining. Shockingly, they lost the lead and missed the playoffs. It has now been 16 seasons since the Sky Sox smelled the playoffs and 18 seasons since they won a playoff game. Those streaks are the longest of any of the 30 Triple-A teams in the PCL and International League. A quick glance at the record book shows that it is also might be the longest streak in all of minor league baseball. Barring a winning streak of monumental proportions, the Sky Sox season will again end on Labor Day (Sept. 2) in Fresno. The Sky Sox play their final home game on Aug. 29 against Las Vegas.

called Palmer Lake. The lake was used for water for the steam locomotives, both traveling north and south. Helper locomotives were later used to push trains from both directions. These engines would then help provide additional braking to slow down trains as they traveled down. Some big things happened to the railroad and the lake over the years. Being dry is nothing new for it, but hopefully it will have water in it again, but the trains do not need it anymore!
During that time, the Rockies will make numerous moves to try and improve their chances of competing. That will likely have a positive effect on the Sky Sox. More than likely, next spring fans, media and front office personnel will be looking forward to the 2014 season with wild anticipation. And while there is no cheering in the press box, my hope is that the Sky Sox not only smell the postseason in 2014, but that they bring their third PCL championship back to Colorado Springs.

Plentiful feed makes for some happy animal families, but don’t mess with Bambi’s mother.
Don’t feed the wildlife According to Colorado Parks and Wildlife, it is important to remember wildlife is just that — wild. Most dangerous and potentially harmful encounters occur because people fail to leave the animals alone. Wildlife should not be harassed, captured, domesticated or — in most cases — fed. Intentional or inadvertent feeding is the major cause of most wildlife problems, and it is illegal to feed deer, bighorn sheep, mountain goats, pronghorn and elk in Colorado. The antlers are getting a little larger on the deer this year, because of their diet of green feed and water.

Rangers looking to return to softballl post season Tri-Lakes area teams could be among the best in the state By Danny Summers
Dsummers@ourcoloradonews.com Crystal Fish (formerly Krebs) is back in charge of the Lewis-Palmer girls softball program and she is excited about the team’s prospects of returning to the postseason. “We’ll get together and go over our team goals and season goals and I will leave it up to the girls how far they want to go,” Fish
said. “A lot of it has to do with team unity and team chemistry.” The Rangers went 8-11-1 last year under Greg Powell as Fish worked as his assistant. She was the head coach of the program for the four seasons (2008 trough 2011), guiding Lewis-Palmer to the Class 4A state semifinals in 2010 - its best finish in school history. The Rangers have arguably one of the best all-around players in the Pikes Peak region in senior Syd Henthorn - a former player with Woodland Park. Henthorn batted .388 in 2012 and is expected to play shortstop and handle the pitching duties
along with senior Barb Nigon (2-1 in a limited role last season). “I think we’re capable of going all the way,” Henthorn said. “We can totally win state. All the girls are dedicated and focused on going to state this year.” Third baseman Melanie Farmer (.426) will be the team’s only four-year letter winner. She was a member of the Rangers 2010 state Final Four team. “We have great pitchers again this year and I think we can definitely take state,” Farmer said. “We have to stay focused and determined and play our hardest all the time.”
Other top returners are senior first baseman Brenna Pfahler, senior second baseman Sami Cook (.261) and senior catcher/ outfielder Liz Gregory (.281), and sophomore catcher/outfielder Cory Holden. Among the top newcomers is sophomore utility player Maddie Paschall.

Palmer Ridge gymnastics team aiming for another strong season The Bears have three returning state qualifiers By Danny Summers
Dsummers@ourcoloradonews.com With three returning state qualifiers, the Palmer Ridge gymnastics team is hoping to take the next step in its quest for a state championship. “I think we’re going to be a better allaround team this year,” said sophomore Rachel Westfall, a returning state qualifier, who is a level 9. “We have more high higher level girls this year.” The other returning state qualifiers are junior Rachel Bryant (level 8) and sophomore Kianah Cordova (level 7). “Rachel (Bryant) has some level 9 skills,” said Palmer Ridge assistant coach Susie Ernest. The Bears are a combined District 38 team that includes girls from Lewis-Palmer. Ten girls make up this year’s squad. There are four other returners; senior Anna Cameron, and sophomores Maggie Asman, Nicole Wisniewski and Abby Thompson. The three newcomers are sophomore Sarah Searle, and freshmen Annabelle Husak and Rachel Brandes. “We drew some great talent and we’re excited for the season and looking forward to having a great time,” said Palmer Ridge head coach Kathy Clowes. All of the girls on the squad are members of The Sundance Studio, which just hap-

The Bears compete at the Class 5A level. They have one of the smallest teams in the classification. “Some of the Denver schools have as many as 30 or 35 girls,” Ernest said. “There a lot more clubs in the Denver area that they have to draw from.” The Bears are hosting the Palmer Ridge Invite Sept. 7 at Sundance. The meet will include Elizabeth and Buena Vista, among other schools. The state meet is Nov. 1-2 at Thornton High School. The Bears will be working to perfect their skills in the coming months. “We need to clean up our routines and polish everything to make it even better than it was during the season,” Westfall said. “We need to be more consistent, definitely.”

Tri-Lakes area tennis teams get back to the court In 11 seasons as Lewis-Palmer High School’s boys tennis coach, Paul Kardell knows a lot could change between now and the state tournament the second week of October. For now, however, he’s happy with how his team is stacking up. “I’m really pleased with my singles players,” Kardell said. “We have a lot of good doubles players. I’m putting all different combinations together, and the quality of play is incredible.” The top three singles spots belong - in order - to senior Jared Stuart, freshman Nolan Rademacher and senior Thomas Gregory. Stuart and Gregory have also been named team captains. “I can’t say enough about those two kids as far as leadership is concerned,” Kardell said. “They lead by example.” Stuart is a two-time state qualifier (once in singles and once in doubles).

DISCOVERY CANYON
Tryouts for the 11 varsity spots (three singles and eight doubles) are taking much longer than expected at Palmer Ridge. And it only has a little to do with the rain that hit the area last week. “We have 36 kids out this year,” said Bears coach Skip Wells. “That’s nine more than we’ve ever had out in any one year. And 80 percent of them are freshmen and sophomores.” Wells was able to whittle down the top three singles spots over the weekend. They went to seniors Erik Sabelstrom, Ryan Courtney and Pierce Torrance, respectively. “Erik is very confident,” Wells said. “Ryan has worked really hard on his volleys and Pierce is so consistent.”

The Bears were shut out of the state tournament in 2012 after having four players advance to state the year before. “State is a whole different level,” Wells said. Wells will spend this week solidifying his double teams. “We’re going to have a deep team this year,” Wells said. “We are looking forward to strong doubles teams.” Wells’ top assistant is Palmer Ridge girls coach Sheri Hiester.

“Jared has gone to state as No. 1 singles, and that’s a big deal,” Kardell said. Kardell is very impressed with Rademacher, and he is more than thrilled to have Gregory manning the No. 3 spot. “Nolan is just a super duper player,” Kardell said. “Thomas is a very hard worker and he’s very polished.” Lewis-Palmer will host the rivalry match with Palmer Ridge this year. It is set for Sept. 4.

Among the top returning Thunder players who played in last year’s 4A state tournament are senior Luke Lorenz and sophomore Baylor May. Lorenz had a fantastic run at state, advancing all the way to the semifinals of No. 1 singles, where he lost to Niwot’s Harrison Lang, 0-6, 1-6. Lorenz cruised to the semis with straight-set victories over Pueblo Central’s Steven Alcala and Colorado Academy’s Fletcher Kerr. May lost in the first round of No. 3 singles.

The Classical Academy again leads area cross country TCA’s girls have won 10 consecutive state titles By Danny Summers
Dsummers@ourcoloradonews.com The Classical Academy girls cross country team moved up to the Class 4A level in 2012 and won its 10th consecutive state championship. What can the squad possibly do for an encore? “I guess 11 tops 10,” TCA coach Alan Versaw said with a smile. “We really don’t talk about championships. It’s always there in the back of our minds, but we go out and compete and try to get better each week.” The Titans return a solid group that includes three of the top five state placers from last year: senior Lauren Hamilton (7th overall at state, 19 minutes, 44.7 seconds), junior Maddie Mullen (16th, 20:19.9) and junior Hannah Williams (18th, 20:19.4). The Titans also return one other state qualifier in junior Megan Percy (99th, 22:09.6). Versaw believes that as many as five other girls could challenge for top spots this season; senior Katie Knapp, sophomores Kirtsen Kropkowski, Bethany Johns and Casey Griggs, and freshman Kate Peterson. “I think 4A will be quite a bit tougher this year,” Versaw said. “Air Academy will be better. Coronado brings a lot back. Niwot, Thompson Valley and Mountain View are all very good. “Competition is not a bad thing at all.” On the boys side, TCA returns senior Conner Wilburn, who finished eighth (17 minutes) at the state meet while helping his team to an eighth-place overall finish. Other top returners are senior Chandler Ryd (36th, 17:53.3), junior Everett Johnson (60th, 18:15.0, and seniors Ben Hook (102nd, 18:43.0), Sam Purvis (19th, 18:48.4) and Collin Eaton (111th, 18:50.2). Top newcomers are sophomores Will Hook and Michael Oldach, and freshman Tanner Norman. “We aimed for a higher finish (on the boys’ side) last year,” Versaw said. “I don’t think we’ll be satisfied with an eight-place finish again this year.” Both Titans teams open their season Sept. 7 at the prestigious St. Vrain Invitational. TCA hosts the Titan Thunder Invitational Sept. 28 at Fountain Creek Regional Park. Discovery Canyon and Lewis-Palmer will be at the event, among other schools.
PALMER RIDGE
Bears senior Ali Deitsch had the best state finish among all Tri-Lakes runners in 2012, finishing fourth at the Norris-Penrose Events Center with a time of 19:31.4. She crossed the finish line with a bloody left knee after falling during the race. Deitsch is being heavily recruited by a numerous Division I and II schools. The Palmer Ridge girls finished 10th as a team; their best showing ever. Among other top returners are sophomores Hannah Capek (21:48.6), Kaitlin Ramsey (21:49.6) and Audrey Furst (22:24.1). “We had a lot of great freshmen last year,” said Palmer Ridge coach Kandee Kohdl. Kohdl’s role with the team will be limited this season since she is due to have a baby at any moment. She is handing the team reins over to interim coach Larry Rudnicki for the remainder of this season. Other top runners on the girls’ side figure to be junior Claire Wilson, sophomore Ally Herebic and freshman Erin Tirpak. “I have some crazy fast freshmen coming in again,” Kohdl said. “I had a chance to see them a lot this summer. We did a lot of base building, mostly miles.” The Palmer Ridge boys finished ninth at last year’s state meet. Back leading the Bears is junior Eric Hamer, who had 14thplace finish (17:25.6) at the state meet. “Eric is just a great kid,” Kohdl said. “He’s been running his tail off this summer.” Among the other top Bears are juniors Tommy Herebic (65th, 18:18.9) and Quinn Tirpak (80th, 18:29.7), senior Zack Blehm (89th, 18:33.9) and junior Tommy Zarkovacki (160th, 19:26.6). Sophomore Liam Cox is also expected to be in the mix The Bears will compete in the Cheyenne Stampede at the Norris-Penrose Events Center on Aug. 29. The meet is labeled as pre-state meet because it brings together more than 200 teams who will run on the same course as the state meet in late October. New to the Bears’ coaching staff this year is Kelly Christensen, a former all-American runner out of Western State. “He’s a workhorse,” Kohdl said.
LEWIS-PALMER
The Rangers’ boys finished 18th at the 2012 state meet. Leading the way this season is senior Christopher Ecklund (128th, 19:01.4), and
Palmer Ridge junior Eric Hamer is among the top runners in the state. He’s helped the Bears to a top 10 finish each of the last two seasons.

Palmer Ridge senior Ali Deitsch finished fourth at last year’s Class 4A state cross country meet.
juniors Hunter Shuman (132nd, 19:04.2) and Austin Bach (151st, 19:19.1). Another senior, Ian McInroe (170th, 19:36.0), is also expected to play a key role. Among those working their way into the mix are senior Dallin Smith, junior Jeffrey Naumiec, sophomore Caleb McGuffey and freshman Cameron Barry. “I’m excited,” said Lewis-Palmer coach Suzanne Kuehl. “I think we could improve upon last year.” The girls’ squad is led by seniors Kaitlyn Cavera and Morgan Cogburn, junior Isabel Taylor, sophomore Maddie Smith and
DISCOVERY CANYON
The Discovery Canyon’s girls finished 21st at state in 2012. Senior Arianna Ross paced the Thunder with a 61st-place finish at 21:29.9. The Thunder returns a core group of runners that include sophomore Beth DeLaurell (78th, 21:48.1), junior Rilee McCone (100th, 22:12.2), junior Courtney McCann (169th, 23:37.1) and sophomore Sydney Hosey (182nd, 23:53.2). The Thunder boys had a 20th-place showing at last year’s state meet. The boys are led by senior Jericho Simmons (106th, 18:45.4) and junior Andrew Wireman (120th, 18:58.8). Seniors Matthew Beck (137th, 19:08.5) and Ben Miera (162nd, 19:31.3) should also figure into the mix again this season.

Bears to remain among state’s top field hockey programs Palmer Ridge played for state championship in 2012 By Danny Summers
Dsummers@ourcoloradonews.com Paul Lewis likes his Palmer Ridge field hockey teams to raise the bar from the previous season. That means a state championship is among the main topics on this year’s agenda. “That would be the goal, but you always have to take it one day at a time,” Lewis said. “We definitely have to step up our game this year if we want (to be state champs).” Last year, the Bears advanced to the state championship game for the first time in school history. They lost a grueling match to Colorado Academy in a shootout, 1-0, after two double overtime periods. “That was tough,” said Lewis, who is also a national field hockey coach with United States Field Hockey. “I don’t think we could have come any closer to winning the state championship.” The Bears are a combined District 38 team that is also comprised of players from Lewis-Palmer. But the squad’s best player hails from District 20’s Air Academy; senior center forward Jessica Berg. Berg is only non-District 38 player on the team. The only other school in southern Colorado that plays field hockey is Chey-
The Palmer Ridge field hockey team advanced to the state championship game in 2012. The Bears have six returning starters. Pictured from front to back are: Cheradyn Pettit, Courtney Child, Ashley Walker, Briana Knop, Daelynn Demello and Jessica Berg. Photo by Danny Summers enne Mountain, but Berg chose Palmer Ridge because it is closer to her home. “We just can’t focus on what happened last year,” said Berg, who is being recruited by a number of Division I colleges, includ-
ing Stanford. “We have to focus on a brand new year. We lost a lot of seniors and we have a brand new team.” Berg is one of six returning starters off of a Bears team that went 15-3 last year. Her
22 goals ranked sixth in the state. The Bears had 57 goals as a team. The other returning Palmer Ridge starters are seniors Daelynn Demello (right wing, eight goals, 11 assists) and Briana Knop (midfielder, 5 goals), and juniors Cheradyn Pettit (all-American goalie), Courtney Child (midfielder) and Ashley Walker (midfielder). Also back from last year’s team and expected to play a key role is senior midfielder Courtney Olson. Sophomore midfielder Edie Statham is up from the junior varsity and is expected to play a key role. “We can easily take on some of the best girls,” said Pettit, who, along with Berg and Stratham play on USA Field Hockey national teams. “Our team is built really strong. “This year, offense will definitely be strong for us. Jessica, Daelynn and Bri are all really strong up field. They can give us the goals that we need to win. Palmer Ridge traditionally relies on a strong defense, but most of those key players have graduated - Casey Deeds (now playing for Stanford), Courtney Daly and Haley Chytka. “It’s a little nerve racking that we have a fairly new defense this year, but I think we’ll come together and be all right,” Pettit said. The Bears open their season Aug. 29 against Cherry Creek in a 5:45 p.m. start at Don Breese Stadium. They get a rematch with Colorado Academy Sept. 7 in Denver.

nent in Pueblo East The Eagles were 10-3 last season and advanced to the 3A state semifinals, where they lost to Rifle, 56-6. Pueblo East was the No. 5 seed in the state playoffs. “This is crazy,” said Lewis-Palmer coach Tony Ramunno about playing the first game of the season a week before most other Colorado schools. “We would rather not do this again, but it could benefit us later in the season when we have a bye week.” Lewis-Palmer is coming off a 6-4 campaign in which it missed the playoffs by the narrowest of margins. The top 16 teams advanced to the postseason, based on wildcard rankings. The Rangers were ranked 17th. “We’re going to be tough this year,” said Lewis-Palmer senior fullback/middle linebacker Chad Marshall. “We have a strong group of guys and we play like a family. Not to mention we have a chip on our shoulder after last year. It ticks you off a little bit.” Lewis-Palmer two-way tackle Andrew Brown said his club will be ready for the ; U.S. BANK, season opener.

year it won its first-ever state tournament game. “Our goal stays the same each year,” said Discovery Canyon coach Tanya Ramsay. “The competition is definitely stiff in (the Pikes Peak Athletic Conference) this year. We’re working to improve every day. That way we can reach our goals in the end.” Ramsay returns four starters from her squad that went 19-5 in 2012. The group includes junior pitcher McKenzie Surface, who went 10-4 with a 2.68 ERA. Surface also manned first base and belted .389 with as team-leading six home runs to go along with 30 RBIs. “I’m excited for Kenzie,” Ramsay said. “She’s been in the weight room. She throws hard. She’s consistent.” The other returning starters are junior first baseman/outfielder/pitcher Emily Selby (.298), junior catcher Molly Turner (.241) and junior third baseman Destiny Lackey (.350). Three other varsity players who also return will step into starting sports this season; sophomore shortstop Kailee Clark, sophomore first baseman Hannah Wirtjes and junior second baseman Emily Robinett. “These kids learned from our seniors last season and now they’re ready to step up,” Ramsay said. “We’re excited to see what they can do.” The Thunder opens its season at home Aug. 26 against PPAC opponent Falcon.
PALMER RIDGE
The Bears have all the ingredients to again be a top contender in the PPAC, as well as one of the best teams
in the region. That’s because they return eight starters off of a club that went 16-7 and advanced the school’s first-ever state tournament. “I was pretty happy with how the girls stepped up,” said fourth-year Bears coach Randy Gillette. Gillette’s team has a nice blend of speed and power on offense, and gritty determination on defense. The Bears batted .373 as a team last season, stole 72 bases in 81 attempts and had a solid .930 fielding percentage. “We had a great hitting team and defensively we held our own,” said Gillette, who also was the head coach at Lewis-Palmer for nine years before turning the reins over to Crystal Fish. “ The eight returning starters consist of senior first baseman McKenzie Brummond (.269), senior catcher/ utility Taylor Klee (.441), senior center fielder Libby Acker (.413), junior lefthanded second baseman Ciara Richardson (.442, team-leading 38 hits), junior pitcher Madysen Kearns (.400), junior catcher/shortstop Jennifer Tarwater (.408), junior right fielder Jennifer Slaughter (.442) and sophomore catcher/third baseman Julie Schroeder (.250). Kearns shared pitching duties last year with Katie Smith, posting a 9-4 record with 71 strikeouts in 83 innings. The Bears opened their season April 20 at Pueblo West. They host Woodland Park Thursday at 4 p.m. They don’t play their first PPAC game until after Labor Day.
THE CLASSICAL ACADEMY
The Titans return several starters and key reserves off a team that went 3-12 in 2012. “I’m hoping we can leapfrog from where we were,” said TCA second-year coach Scott Dufaud. “It looks like we’ll have lot of im-

provement in various areas.” Though the win total might not show it, the Titans were a vastly improved team from previous seasons. They were competitive in at least half of their games and remained upbeat. “I had a lot of coaches come up to me after games and tell me how much improved we were,” Dufaud said. The Titans played in a Colorado Springs parks and recreation league this summer and won more than half of their 26 games, according to Dufaud. Senior Skyeler Sheveland, the team’s top pitcher last season, is expected to be utilized in other roles. She could also see time at shortstop, third base, outfield and even catcher. She batted .410 in 2012. “I have a lot of girls who have come into the freshman class who are pretty talented,” Dufaud said. “Some of them are pitchers.” Freshman Emma Thompson, a product of the Tri-Lakes Little League softball program, is expected to take over as the Titans’ No. 1 pitcher. “I’m looking for big things from her,” Dufaud said. Among the other top returning players from last season are junior outfielder Melissa Doole (.333), sophomore catcher Madison Cooper (.320), sophomore first baseman Abigail Elmendorf and senior left fielder Sarah St. Louis. Also expected to contribute are returning seniors Hannah Lindblom, Janine Valenzuela and Eliza Hamilton, and sophomores Hailey Popovich and Abigail Groteluschen. The Titans use El Pomar as their home field. They practice on a dirt and gravel field at the high school. “We picked hundreds of pounds off of it this summer,” Dufaud said with a smile. It’s a pretty good field now. We’re excited.”

I live in the country, so I’m a rural type person,” Daniels said.
IF YOU GO The Tri-Lakes Music Festival will take place Aug. 31
at the Lake of the Rockies Campground located off of Mitchell Avenue in Monument. The show begins at 11 a.m. and ends at sunset. The Charlie Daniels Band will take the stage at about 5:45 p.m. General admission tickets are $35 and available at King Soopers and Safeway through Tickets West. For more information on military discounts, VIP tickets call 719-481-0475.
When not touring, the Grammy winner and Grand Ole Opry inductee spends part of the year at his home in Tennessee and the other part of the year at his home in southwest Colorado. Fans can expect to hear a mix of bluegrass, country, rock, jazz and even gospel from perhaps the most famous fiddle player around. They can also expect to hear some of the favorites from The Charlie Daniels Band. “I always do the songs that people have a perfect right to hear, “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” and “Long-Haired Country Boy.” We have some new things we’ll do (but) we’ll definitely do the songs that people have a perfect right and expect to hear,” Daniels said. A lot of people consider The Charlie Daniels Band country music but Daniels said when people ask him what kind of music he plays, he said he tells them he plays American music. The bands newest CD, “Hits of the South,” features the two songs mentioned above but the band also does covers of “Sharp Dressed Man,” “Freebird,” “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” and “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down.” Daniels said the songs on the CD are from other bands they have toured with over the years. “It’s just kind of natural for their music to become part of our lives and ours to become part of theirs. So it was just natural for us to record some of it,” Daniels said. Charlie Daniels’ career has spanned more than 50 years. “The highlight of my
