Suspicion lies with missing teen’s father Several family members point finger at Mark Redwine in Dylan’s disappearance By Lisa Collacott
lcollacott@ourcoloradonews.com Elaine Redwine just wants her son, Dylan Redwine, home and she hopes that her ex-husband had nothing to do with his disappearance but she said it is possible. Appearing on the Dr. Phil show on Feb. 26 and 27 Elaine Redwine said that when she first heard that Dylan was missing her gut reaction was that her husband had something to do with it. “I do believe that Mark had something to do with Dylan’s disappearance. I do believe he knows more,” Elaine Redwine said. Elaine and Mark Redwine came face-toface for the first time since their son went missing. She and other family members believe Mark Redwine knows more than he is letting on and that he is not doing anything to help find Dylan. Elaine Redwine said her ex-husband has been very evasive and when he informed her that their son was missing he did it by text message and has refused to talk to her. In fact he hasn’t talked to her in three years. She said she has tried on a number of occasions to talk to him and being on the show would provide a forum for her to do so and
get questions answered. Dylan Redwine disappeared on Nov. 19 after going to visit his father for Thanksgiving in Vallecito. Mark Redwine has said that he went to run errands that morning and when he got back Dylan was gone. He assumed that the teen was with his friends because he was supposed to meet up with them that day. When he didn’t return later that afternoon he reported him missing. Dylan’s backpack and cell phone were also missing. The last text Dylan sent was at approximately 9:30 p.m. the night before. A mail carrier has said she saw Dylan and another boy walking down the road the day he went missing and reiterated that during a pre-recorded message on the Dr. Phil show, however the La Plata County Sheriff’s Office has not been able to confirm that. Mark Redwine told Dr. Phil that he believes Elaine Redwine could have something to do with Dylan’s disappearance because over the last few months she has been trying to keep Dylan from him. He also said that she did not try to call him after Dylan disappeared. She responded by telling him that he always lies. “Where is Dylan? You know where Dylan is Mark. You where the last one to see him, you were the last one to have any contact with him. It was on your watch. Where is the responsibility? When do you sit back and say `I lost Dylan’,” Elaine Redwine yelled. Elaine Redwine isn’t the only one who thinks Mark Redwine had something to do
with Dylan’s disappearance. Their older son Cory believes Mark is responsible as well as Betsy, Mark’s first wife, and their son Brandon.
Cloud of suspicion
During the show Cory Redwine, who refuses to call Mark Redwine dad, said that, “I do believe that he took Dylan to punish my mom and essentially hurt her. I do believe Mark is paying someone to keep Dylan hidden.” “I don’t like you. I hate you. You have been nothing of a father for the last 10 years,” Cory Redwine said to Mark Redwine. It was revealed on the show that in May of 1990 Mark Redwine violated a court order and kept his sons Brandon and Mark Allen from Besty. And then in 2003 and 2006 Mark had taken Cory and Dylan without telling Elaine. Mark Redwine said there was a time when he took the kids to a friend’s house until he could talk to his attorney the following day. He said he was concerned because of Elaine’s alcohol use. Dr. Phil said Mark’s first wife Betsy had told him that Mark was abusive. Betsy said Mark threatened to take the kids from her several times and that there was an incident when Mark threw her on the ground and repeatedly punched her in the face. “I believe that Mark could do something Redwine continues on Page 11
Sequestration could mean furlough days
March 1 deadline, furloughs could start in April for DOD civilians
By Lisa Collacott
lcollacott@ourcoloradonews.com
As of March 1 sequestration is scheduled to go into effect and if so that means the loss of jobs and furlough days for many civilian workers within the Department of Defense. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta notified congress on Feb. 20 that sequestration could mean furlough days for the civilian workforce. Acting Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness Jessica Wright stated on the Department of De-
fense website, www.defense.gov, that furloughs would mean civilians would see a 20 percent decrease in their pay between April and November. For the Air Force alone this could impact 180,000 civilian workers resulting in 22 working furlough days and the loss of 31.5 million man hours of productivity according to an article at www.af.mil. This would have a huge impact on the United States Air Force Academy, Schriever Air Force Base, Peterson Air Force Base and Fort Carson. El Paso County is home to four of the five military installations in Colorado. “We don’t know how this is going to unfold,” John VanWinkle, spokesperson for the academy said. VanWinkle said that the academy has
Sequestration could be a huge blow to El Paso County. The $85 million budget cuts each year for the next 10 years means that Colorado can expect a 10 percent across the board cuts in federal defense funds according to a presentation given by El Paso County Commissioner Darryl Glenn on Feb. 8 during the State of the Chamber breakfast. El Paso County is home to four of the five military installations in Colorado and the budget cuts not only affect the Department of Defense civilian workforce but the whole community as well. Glenn told chamber members that in 2011 the military bases provided a $5.89 billion impact to the region. According to his presentation the military generates 25-30 percent of the county’s gross metropolitan product. The United States Air Force Academy released its economic impact analysis last year and for the fiscal year 2011 the economic impact to the community was more than $999 million. However with the federal cuts the county can expect a negative impact of $4.71 billion annually. Sequestration would mean furlough days for civilian workers of the DOD and that means decreased pay.Cuts to the military will undoubtedly trickle down to the community. Glenn said that businesses outside the military installations would be directly impacted. On the Department of Defense website, www.defense.gov, Jessica Wright, undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness, stated that families of civilian workers will have to make tough financial decisions. “Loss of pay won’t only be felt by each employee but it will be felt in the business communities which they serve, where there kids go to school and the neighborhoods where they live in,” Wright said. More information about sequestration and the impact to the county will be discussed at a March town hall meeting that Glenn is hosting.
approximately 1,500 appropriated fund civilian employees that could be affected by the furloughs. Of those 1,500 at least 300 are civilian academic instructors which make up 37 percent of the academy’s instructor force. VanWinkle said they would just have to wait and see what happens. Sequestration doesn’t just affect the DOD. Several other government programs will be hit with cuts.
What is sequestration?
It is automatic cuts to the federal budget. According to the Budget Control Act of 2011 discretionary spending must be cut over a 10-year period. Congress put in the act that Sequestration continues on Page 7

Fire district chief search reaching end
Mixer, interviews planned as public meetings By Norma Engelberg
nengelberg@ourcoloradonews.com As an exercise in transparency, the TriLakes Monument Fire Protection District board of directors is planning two special public meetings in March. The purposes for these meetings that pertain to the hiring of a new fire chief were announced at the district’s regular Feb. 27 meeting. The first special meeting will be a citizen mixer from 6-8 p.m. on March 12 at the Lewis-Palmer School District 38 administration building, 146 Jefferson St., in Monument. The mixer will give board members, district staff and citizens an opportunity to interact with the five fire chief finalists. The second special public meeting will be when the board interviews the five finalists one-at-a-time on March 13. The start time for that meeting has yet to be determined. “Board interviews are public meetings,” said interim fire Chief Bryan Jack, adding that nearly everything about the hiring process except the final employment contract negotiations are open record. Earlier on March 13, the five candidates will meet one-at-a-time with district staff members. Candidates will also be taken on a tour of district facilities. For the two interview sessions, the dis-
trict’s employment consultant Mountain States Employers Council will submit questions for staff and board members to ask each candidate. The district’s legal counsel Maureen Herr Juran also gave the board a list of items it should consider when negotiating the chief contract. On the operations side of the district, Jack said the district is working out a solution to septic system problems at Fire Station No. 2. The station uses a leach field system for organic waste but somehow, several years ago, the leach field was paved over. Fire district staff recently met with El Paso County public health officials who suggested that the district meet with the neighboring property owners to see if anyone would be willing to work out a deal for a new leach field. “We met with Mr. and Mrs. (Bob and Carol) Simpson,” Jack said. “They were more than willing to help us out with finding a location for a new leach field.” “You could be saving our lives sometime so I’m not going to give you any problems,” Bob Simpson said. Station No. 3 will be getting a new roof. The old roof was damaged by high winds. Thanks to grants from the American Legion and Monument Hill Foundation, the district’s new Sparky the Fire Dog suit has arrived. Sparky can now take part in fire district events, including a photo shoot at 6 p.m. on March 27 at the district headquarters on Second Street in Monument. The regular fire district board meeting follows at 6:30 p.m.
State Rep. Stephens named Legislator of the Year Special to The Tribune State Rep. Amy Stephens, (R-Monument), was awarded the Mental Health America of Colorado’s Legislator of the Year award on March 1. Mental Health America of Colorado celebrated its 20th annual Legislative Education and Advocacy Day earlier this morning. “I was honored to receive this award,” Stephens said. “The work of organizations like these deserves to be recognized. I am
glad to take part in this event and see the accomplishments of other leaders celebrated, but mostly I’m proud to see Colorado’s support and appreciation for mental health services.” The theme of LEAD was “Peers Affecting Change.” The focus was about learning how men and women living in recovery from mental health conditions and substance use disorders are leading the way to making Colorado healthier. Stephens received her award at the Sheraton Downtown Denver.

Irish Pat’s walk through history Common people walk through history. History, however, is a recording of uncommon deeds. And of walks though history — one of my favorite historic characters lived and walked all over this part of Colorado for many years. Patrick Murphy actually homesteaded near Highway 83, about 6 miles east of Monument, but was known to take off hiking just about anywhere. One of his favorite strolls, was reportedly a stage route from Monument to Florissant. Born the day before St. Paddy’s Day, 1821, County Cork, Ireland, Murphy hit
New York on the east coast of United States in 1864 after 14 days on a steamer named the “Kangaroo.” Once on dry land again, he took off walking, according to Lucille Lavelett, au-
Great fires of all time The Waldo Canyon Fire will forever be etched in the memories for those of us who witnessed firsthand the destruction it caused. We all remember seeing the smoke rise from the mountain and the flames as the fire raced down the mountain into a neighborhood of homes. It was very similar to a grass fire that quickly got out of control in 1991 in Oakland. That fire started on a hillside and soon got out of control when winds carried the flames. About 3,354 homes were destroyed and 25 people were killed. These are two perfect examples of what happens when wild land fires meet urban development. Throughout history there have been many fires that have burned forests, hotels and even entire towns. In 1920 the Rockland Hotel in Palmer Lake burned to the ground after a gas explosion. In 1896 two fires within a matter of days destroyed most of the commercial buildings in Cripple Creek. At the time the town boasted about 10,000 people and many were left homeless. We can only imagine what it must have been like to see a whole town burning like that. Several years before that in 1871 the people of Chicago witnessed this happen to their city. During the Great Chicago Fire 17,500 building burned, 100,000 people were left homeless and 300 people died. The fire started in a barn and legend has it that a cow kicked over a lantern. A year later the Great Boston Fire happened. It wasn’t as big as the Chicago fire but it did its damage and destroyed 776 buildings. The same night that the Chicago fire started the largest wild land fire happened in Wisconsin.

The Great Peshtigo Fire burned 3.8 million acres in northern Wisconsin and the upper peninsula of Michigan. More than 1,500 people died. In 1910 three million acres burned in Idaho and Montana in what is known as the Great Fire of 1910. In 1906 one of the worst fires and natural disasters devastated San Francisco. A 7.9 magnitude earthquake struck the city causing significant damage. Gas lines ruptured all over the city and as a result fires broke out and burned for days. More than 25,000 buildings were destroyed. It’s believed that the fires caused more damage than the earthquake. Sometimes devastating fires can happen to a single dwelling. The famous Winecoff Hotel fire in Atlanta in 1946 killed 119 people. In 1980 there was a fire in the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas killing 85. The stories I heard when I lived in Las Vegas was that the fire started in a kitchen of a restaurant causing a huge fireball to race through the main casino area. Guests were trapped in the hotel towers. In 2003 patrons arrived at the Station nightclub in Rhode Island for a concert. During the concert pyrotechnics were set off, starting a fire and engulfing the nightclub in a matter of minutes. Concert goers were trapped and 100 people were killed. These fires are only a handful that happened over the years.

thor of “Through the Years at Monument, Colorado.” From New York he walked to Nashville, Tennessee, then on to St. Louis, Missouri, then up the Mississippi River and on to Fort Lewis. A small wiry man of maybe 100 pounds when soaking wet, Murphy was kept out of the regular army by his citizen status but served Union troops as a cook in the Civil War. “When he passed away at age 105, he was the oldest member of the Knights of Columbus in the world, the oldest man in the state of Colorado, and the oldest rancher in the state of Colorado,.. he lived on his
ranch until he was 101.” wrote Lavelett. “At 101 he ran a race in the main street of Monument with a man many years his junior and won, and danced at a dinner given in his honor that night. At 102, Mr. Murphy climbed halfway to the summit of Pike Peak and was only dissuaded from completing the trip through the intercession of a younger man who was accompanying him who told Murphy he was giving out.” Uncommon deeds indeed. Murphy was a practicing Catholic and parishioner of St. Peter Catholic Church in Monument, and is buried (near his ranch) in Spring Valley Cemetery in southern Douglas County.
Silence hard to find, endure We hear this phrase a lot and probably say it pretty often ourselves: “I am my own worst enemy.” Aristotle, the Greek philosopher who lived from 384-322 BCE, is credited with coining the phrase. Who knows who he might have been quoting. Like a lot of the changes we make to our language, we shortened the quote. What Aristotle really said was “He is his own best friend, and takes delight in privacy whereas the man of no virtue or ability is his own worst enemy and is afraid of solitude.” What Aristotle was saying is that if you like yourself, being alone with your own thoughts will be a pleasure. Or, as New York University sociologist Eric Klinenberg said in his book “Going Solo”: “Living alone, being alone and feeling lonely are three different social conditions.” However, I’m not writing about “social conditions.” With more and more of us living in urban areas, we are no longer used to silence. Our lives are filled with background noise, so much so that in those rare moments when we encounter silence we feel compelled to fill it. It’s as if we have all become Aristotle’s men of “no virtue or ability” to live without distraction. Self examination time! Ask yourself these questions: When I spend a weekend at the cabin or a week at a backcountry campground, do I bring my computer, a fistful of DVDs, generator and chargers, cellphone signal boosters, electronic games and my tunes and other trappings of civilization? When I come home, do I feel like I should have brought an entertainment director? Even quiet time at home has become problematic for many of us. How many of you can’t sleep without turning on
the TV, radio or other noise source, if only to drown out street noises or the arguing on the other side of paper-thin apartment walls? Can you drive with only the engine noise and your own thoughts to keep you company? The same set of statistics that tell us that a majority of us live in cities also point out that many of us live alone in those cities. Some live alone because of circumstances such as staying single or marrying late, divorce, the death of a spouse and/or kids leaving the nest. Others, especially men, seek solitude. John Donne, the 16th century English poet, said “No man is an island,” but some of them want to be, seeking hidden cabins or living on islands. Historically, most hermits have been men.Statistically, when women live alone they usually do so where social safety nets are available; near family or church groups, for example. I don’t know about other women but I enjoy my indoor plumbing and living near the public library. That doesn’t mean I don’t know how to enjoy a little peace and quiet now and then and there’s no reason I can’t enjoy hot running water while I’m at it.
Driving was primitive 100 years ago We think nothing of jumping in the car, starting up and driving away. Some of you have no idea how to drive a car with a stick shift. Since 100 years ago is the typical time covered by my columns; how about those cars? The big new thing in cars was Ford’s Model T. It brought all sorts of changes to the “autoist,” which was a common term back then. Cars first appear around here in the early 1900s. I have done a few columns about those, but this time we will do something different. First thing we have to do to take a driving trip is to fill the radiator. Antifreeze was unknown, so cars were drained if there was a chance of freezing. A motor could not always be replaced. Most cars were kept indoors, barns mainly, since a garage was unheard of at the time. Not so much to protect the motor, but the upholstery, since most cars, even around here were open. If it was cold, you might even have a hot stove near your car, and a kettle going with hot water for the radiator. This helped warm up the motor, even in the summer, which helped starting it. To start the motor you had to set a spark handle on the steering column, take the car out of gear and put a handle into a hole at the front of the motor. Starting meant turning the crank enough to get the motor going around and hoping the gas and the spark plugs would get you going. When you got it going, you had to quickly get to the driver’s seat to adjust the spark and the gas. No starter meant no battery and very few electrical items; electric lights came later!
Doors: we think nothing of doors. The early cars did not have them. The cars got doors about the same time as starters! The early Model T’s only had a false driver’s door. The driver got in on the passenger’s side or jumped over the side of the car! On a Model T there were three pedals, a clutch, low gear and high gear. Stick shift transmissions came later. What about a few other items like windshields, or wipers? The first cars had none, and the wiper was hand operated, often by a passenger, because the driver was busy driving! Cars had no defrosters or even heaters, a few had horns and lights were originally gas. Brakes were also unpredictable if a car even had them. Each car came with tools, and you always took spare parts. A big problem was gas! There were no stations; you got gas in a can at a general store or blacksmith shop! Keys, license plates, driver’s licenses and other conveniences came later.

Olympic wrestling decision falls flat Last weekend’s state high school wrestling tournament brought together some of the most dedicated young men and women in Colorado to showcase a sport that is off the mainstream radar. The hundreds of teenagers who competed in Denver spent months, maybe years, working on moves and strategy, running, lifting weights and sweating. During the season, many monitored their weight down to the ounce. What’s more, they carved out a certain toughness they might not otherwise have known was there. For most of them, their moments on the mats at the Pepsi Center would be the ultimate stage. But some of the young grapplers, no doubt, have aspirations to extend their wrestling careers. First, college. Then, if they can beat the odds, the Olympics. But have the odds already beaten them? As you may have heard, the International Olympic Committee voted on Feb. 12 to drop wrestling from the Summer Games following 2016. The sport doesn’t grab the headlines, the TV ratings or the ticket sales of many other athletic endeavors. True, the only wrestling champion many people can name is Hulk Hogan, who performed in a profes-
OUR VIEW sional, scripted version made for TV. But the amateur sport, real wrestling, has history on its side, dating to the first modern Olympiad in 1896. Going back even further, more than 2,000 years ago, Greeks saw fit to grapple. Wrestling ultimately took hold in many nations and continues as a true test of not only athletic aptitude but of one’s self. Last summer, Forbes.com ran an article with the headline “Why wrestlers make the best employees.” The story began with a quote from Olympic gold medalist Dan Gable. “More enduringly than any other sport, wrestling teaches self-control and pride. Some have wrestled without great skill — none have wrestled without pride.” Who wouldn’t like to see more people in the workplace — and in the community — with greater selfcontrol and more pride in what they do? If the Olympics serve as a source of motivation for young athletes to continue honing these traits, why take
that carrot away? There is still a fighting chance for the sport to appear in the 2020 games. In May, the Olympic committee will consider adding one more sport. Already, efforts are under way in the wrestling community to make sure their sport is the one. There’s even talk of the United States and Iran working together for the cause, a true display of how sports can unite. We won’t use this space to trash other sports, ones that could be kept out so that wrestling might stay. All sports, in their own way, teach pride and self-control when done right. But consider this: LeBron James has the NBA Finals. Regardless of what well-intentioned players might say, high-profile professional sports reach their pinnacle within the confines of their league’s playoff tournament. Or in a global, sport-specific championship, such as soccer’s World Cup. Amateur wrestling has major events that unite the world’s finest besides the Olympics. Did you know that? No? That’s the point. Wrestling needs the Olympics’ stage. And the Olympics need wrestling to help it remain something the world takes genuine pride in, not just watches like so much reality TV.

Women fought in the Civil War By Norma Engelberg

his year marks the 150th anniversary of the second year of the Civil War. 1863 was a pivotal year; Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation in January and there were a number of significant battles and campaigns, including the battles of Chancellorsville, Chickamauga and Chattanooga; the Vicksburg and Gettysburg campaigns and the siege of Knoxville. What most people don’t realize is that among the hundreds of thousands of men who fought and died in the Union and Confederate armies a small number of women were fighting and dying beside them. This little-known aspect of the war will be explored in a Palmer

Most women living during the Civil War stayed home. They ran the family farm or their husbands’, fathers’ and brothers’ businesses. They published newspapers

and ran charities and many thousands sewed quilts and uniforms and knitted socks and hats for the men at the front. However, for some women on both sides of the conflict, these activities weren’t enough. According to www.americancivilwar.com, almost 20,000 women worked directly for the Union cause as laundresses, cooks and nurses. Women on the Confederate side also helped the war effort but the numbers aren’t as well documented. Most people are familiar with the story of Clara Barton, whose care for wounded and injured soldiers during the Civil War resulted in the formation of the American Red Cross. Some might also be familiar with Dr. Mary Edwards Walker, who wore men’s clothing, served as a Union Army surgeon and became one of a handful of civilians who earned a Congressional Medal of Honor. Less commonly known is that numerous women fought in the Civil War in both the Union and Confederate. Nasser estimates that 300-400 women fought as men during the war. “It’s hard to say exactly how many women fought as men because a lot of records were destroyed,” Nasser said. “A lot of commanders were not proud to have women there. Officially there were never any women serving but I think some of the men knew. As long as the women served, they were accepted.” During his presentation, Nasser will describe the environment that faced women during the Civil War period and the reasons they might have chosen to take on the identi-

Cats need loving homes More than 60 cats rescued and are ready for adoption By Lisa Collacott
lcollacott@ourcoloradonews.com
If anyone would like to provide a loving home to a cat the Black Forest Animal Sanctuary is the place to contact. The sanctuary recently rescued 62 cats from a home in Taos, N.M. and Tracy Van Pelt, owner of the sanctuary, said more than half of the cats are ready to go out for adoption. The cats have all been either spayed or neutered, received their vaccinations and have had the necessary testing for leukemia. They have also all been ear-tagged. Van Pelt said the cats were rescued from a hoarding situation. An elderly woman had more than 100 cats in her house and about 40 feral cats that lived outside. “We went down there because New Mexico had exhausted its resources,” Van Pelt said. They were able to place many of the cats before they left New Mexico and in addition dto the cats they also rescued 25 Chihuahuas. Van Pelt said the woman was known to take in stray animals and would care for s

them. Over the years her health and mental state declined and she wasn’t able to care for the animals as before. She became bedridden and had a staff to take care of her and continue to provide care for the animals. However the staff failed to do their job. When they arrived at the home they found cats in kitchen cabinets, dresser drawers, the sofa and a few were even locked in a drawer. Van Pelt said they found one cat dead in the closet. “It was horrible. The woman had good intentions in the beginning,” Van Pelt said. The Black Forest Animal Sanctuary would love to be able to send the cats to loving homes. “We have very sweet cats,” Van Pelt said, adding that there are no kittens but they estimate the youngest to be approximately one-years-old. The rest of the cats are most likely over three-years-old but it is hard to pin down exact ages. Van Pelt said if anyone is interested in adopting call 719-494-0158 or email BFASform@aol.com for the adoption form. If it is not feasible for someone to adopt but they would still like to help with donations Van Pelt said that is greatly appreciated and needed. The sanctuary also has five dogs and many horses that need to be adopted as well.

Typically food drives take place during the holidays but for the month of March Curves is collecting food to assist Tri-Lakes Cares with restocking its shelves. Curves’ goal is to collect a ton of food by month’s end. Members and the rest of the community are encouraged to bring in a bag of nonperishable food items. Last year Curves brought in nearly 1,900 pounds of food. TLC welcomes the food drive that will help them in continuing to assist their clients. This is Curves 15th annual nationwide food drive and locally Curves has given to TLC. “Folks normally don’t think about conducting a food drive the first three quarters of the year. It is usually an activity that takes place around Thanksgiving and Christmas, but hunger lasts all year long,” Haley Chap-
in, executive director of Tri-Lakes Cares, said. “We are very lucky that Curves has been such a great supporter and helps us during the months that we need it most. We continue to spread the word that hunger is a year-long battle and we would love to keep the community involved in combating hunger efforts all year long.” In 2012 TLC broke records for the amount of groceries and sundries that they give out in one week. In July they gave out 7,441 pounds and but only took in 5,438 pounds in donations. During the months of June and August TLC gave out nearly 4,000 pounds for each month. In addition to the food drive Curves is trying to encourage women to be healthier. As an incentive they are waiving the $99 service fee for any new member who joins and brings in a bag of food. “Our members respond incredibly. They feel committed to help their community,” Bea Crimmel, co-owner of Curves, said. If anyone would like to help TLC restock their shelves drop off bags of food at Curves located at 15746 Jackson Creek Parkway.
Sequestration: More than $42 billion cuts to defense Sequestration continued from Page 1
if a deal wasn’t reached to cut $1.5 trillion over a 10-year period then automatic across the board cuts in government spending would be made. This is known as sequester. The sequester was originally supposed to go into effect on Jan. 1, however because of the American Taxpayer Relief Act that was passed the budget cuts were pushed back to March 1. Approximately $85 million will be cut if Congress cannot come to an agreement

Other programs that would see cuts include: NASA, FEMA, Head Start, FBI, federal prison system, immigration enforcement, the Centers for Disease Control, public housing, FDA, special education, energy department, National Science Foundation, Library of Congress and the Patent and Trademark office. Medicaid, Social Security and the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families are exempt from sequester.

Pikes Peak Library District Pikes Peak Library District knows how important early literacy is to families and the community. That’s why the library district’s children’s department has created the “Countdown to Kindergarten Carnival,” an early literacy program designed to get families interacting with one another in ways that are both fun and effective in improving early literacy skills. Five Carnivals at multiple library locations in early 2013 will teach parents and caregivers five simple but powerful practices they can use to help young children get ready to read. These five practices are incorporated into “Every Child Ready to Read” workshops and can easily be integrated into everyday activities to help children learn early literacy skills. The five early literacy practices are:

Talking Talking with children helps them learn oral language, one of the most critical early literacy skills. The experience of self-expression also stimulates brain development, which underlies all learning. Singing Singing, which also includes rhyming, increases children’s awareness of and sensitivity to the sounds in words. This helps prepare children to decode print (written language). Reading Reading together, or shared reading, remains the single most effective way to help children become proficient readers. Writing Writing and reading go together. Writing helps children learn that letters and words stand for sounds and that print has meaning. Playing Play is one of the primary ways young children learn about the world. General knowledge is an important literacy skill that helps children understand books and stories once they

Two high school hoops teams went to playoffs Discovery Canyon boys, Palmer Ridge girls By Danny Summers
sports@ourcoloradonews.com Among the Tri-Lakes area teams in this year’s Class 4A state basketball playoffs were squads from Discovery Canyon Campus, as well as the Palmer Ridge girls. The Discovery Canyon boys won their opening round playoff game on Feb. 27 by downing visiting Vista PEAK Prep, 65-45. The Thunder (17-8) lost to Longmont, 5342, in the first round of their regional on March 1. Discovery Canyon senior forward Andy Stauffer led all scorers in the win over Vista PEAK Prep, tallying 17 points, while also pulling down a game-high eight rebounds. Senior guard Brandon Nachbar, the team’s leading scorer during the regular season with 18.6 points per game, chipped in with nine. Also scoring nine points was senior forward Geo Frye. Rounding out the Thunder scoring leaders were senior forward Jack Trask (8), senior guard John Howlette (6) and junior center Nate Todtenhagen (5). The Thunder never trailed, bolting to a 20-4 first-quarter lead. It led 32-14 at the break and cruised from there. It was a different story against Longmont, however, as the Thunder tallied just eight points in the first quarter and 12 in the second. It struggled in the third quarter as well, scoring just seven points as Longmont took control. The Thunder girls lost a first-round
game at Evergreen, 39-34, on Feb. 26. Evergreen led 15-10 at the break, but Discovery grabbed the lead in the third quarter and trailed just 27-26 heading into the fourth. “We had a tough first half finding our rhythm and offense,” said Thunder assistant coach Devin DuPree. “We got things going in the third quarter, but we couldn’t get the stops we needed down the stretch. We just couldn’t get anything to go our way.” Senior post Mariah McGettigan led all Thunder scorers with 15 points, including 5 of 6 from the free throw line. She also pulled down eight rebounds. Sophomore post Jen Schneible scored six points (6 of 6 free throws) to go along with a team-high nine rebounds. Sophomore post Alex Smith had seven points, four rebounds and a pair of assists. The Thunder (10-14) finished the season by losing four of their last six games, after winning six of eight. The Palmer Ridge girls (20-4) had their lowest scoring output of the season during a 31-25 loss to Rifle in the first round of its regional March 1 in Montrose. The score was tied 15-15 at halftime, but the Bears scored just seven points in the third quarter and three in the fourth. Senior guard Madi Thomas led all Palmer Ridge scorers with seven points. “We couldn’t buy a basket,” said Palmer Ridge coach Dennis Coates, whose team averaged 55 points per game during the regular season. “Rifle was real physical.

TCA boys, girls hoops teams take to road Pairings announced for Class 3A tournament By Danny Summers
sports@ourcoloradonews.com COLORADO SPRINGS - The Colorado High School Activities Association announced pairings on March 3 for the upcoming Class 3A state boys and girls basketball tournament. The Classical Academy boys and girls basketball teams will both be on the road. The Titans boys (14-8) earned a No. 20 seed and will

play No. 13 Moffat County (18-4) in a game at Brush, one of eight host regional sites. If the TCA is victorious, it would play on Saturday against the winner of No. 4 Brush (19-3) vs. No. 29 Basalt (8-14). TCA’s girls (17-5) are the No. 14 seed and will play No. 19 Peak to Peak (14-8) on Friday at Denver Science and Technology, the host site for the regional. If TCA wins, it would play Saturday against the winner of No. 3 Denver Science and Technology (20-2) vs. No. 30 Coal Ridge (10-10). Regional winners advance to the Elite Eight championship weekend March 14-16. TCA’s girls stumbled a little bit down the stretch, losing four of their final seven games, including the first two of last week’s Tri-Peaks League District tournament. The Titans recovered just in time to defeat Ellicott, 4329, in the seventh-place game on March 2. “We had a rough week,” said TCA first-year coach Kasey Lucero. “We played much better against Ellicott. All 12 girls played and all 12 girls contributed.” The Titans got 10 points each from senior guards CheyAnn Queener and Mallory Weiss. Junior post Hannah Carr (five points, 13 rebounds) and junior guard Courtney Griggs (four points, seven rebounds) also played well. “Courtney Griggs has really stepped it up and Hannah Carr improved through the month of February,” Lucero said. “Mallory Weiss couldn’t miss against Ellicott.” TCA and Peak to Peak met on Dec. 7 at TCA, with the Titans winning 40-35. Carr had a game-high 19 points. “They were fast and had some good shooters,” Lucero said of Peak to Peak. “We played a zone on them and it worked pretty well. It was a close game all the way.” Peak to Peak averages 46 points per game, while allowing 42. The Pumas are led by senior post Ivy Devries (14.8 points and 8.1 rebounds), sophomore guard Katharine Kia (11.1 ppg) and junior post Annette Warner (9.2 points and 8.2 rebounds). TCA’s strength is its defense. The Titans allow a paltry 30 points per game, but they only average 39. The Titans boys finished fourth in the Tri-Peaks district tournament. They defeated James Irwin in the opener, 5650, but lost to Colorado Springs Christian School, 49-19, and La Junta, 64-49. TCA’s strength is it defense, allowing just 43 points per game, while scoring 49. Junior center Jason Anderson leads

the team in scoring with 11.1 points per game, followed by junior guard Ben Hooten’s 10.2 (51- of 139 3-point attempts). Moffat County went 4-3 down the stretch, including a loss to Roaring Fork in the Western Slope League District championship game on March 2. The Bulldogs are led by sophomore point guard Tyler Davis (15.1 ppg).

Lewis-Palmer boys play in Elite Eight, again
R
t t
Fifth consecutive season at Denver Coliseum
n T i w l c b
By Danny Summers
sports@ourcoloradonews.com MONUMENT - The Denver Coliseum was once home to the old ABA’s Denver Rockets. But in recent years, the Lewis-Palmer High School boys basketball team has made the venue a home away from home. For the fifth consecutive season, the Rangers (22-3) are playing in the Elite Eight of the Class 4A state tournament. They will play a familiar foe on Saturday when they meet Cheyenne Mountain (19-6). The winner advances to the Final Four, which takes place March 15-16 at the University of Colorado’s Coors Events Center. “You can’t fall asleep; you can’t take anything for granted,” said Lewis-Palmer coach Russ McKinstry said. “I think all eight teams have an equal shot at winning.” McKinstry is quick to point out that history means little in the state playoffs. His crew defeated Cheyenne Mountain twice this season by scores of 49-33 on Jan. 18 and 4734 on Feb. 8. Based on the previous games, it might be safe to assume the score of the third game in the series will be somewhat low scoring. “Each possession is important,” McKinstry said. “Teams have to be able to score at the rim. And you have to mix in a few timely jump shots. That’s what the good teams do.” The main focus of McKinstry-coached teams is a suffocating defense. The Rangers’ goal is to keep opponents under 44 points a game. They are allowing 45 this season, while putting up an average of 65. The Rangers have a balanced offense, led by senior 6-foot-6 shooting guard Jordan Scott. The lanky Scott leads the club in scoring with 18.2 points per game. Two other Rangers are in double figures - senior 6-6 swingman Justin Smith (14.4) and junior guard/forward Chase Stone (10.4). Senior point guard Tyler Owens is next at 8.8. Cheyenne Mountain, coached by Jon St. Clair, the sonin-law of legendary Palmer coach Dan McKiernan, averages 59 points per game, while allowing 47. Five of the six Indians losses are to teams still alive in the 4A playoffs. They also lost twice to Sand Creek and once to Valor Christian. Cheyenne Mountain’s other loss was to Falcon, which

The Indians are led by junior guard Ghassan Nehme (20.2 points, 3.4 assists and 2.2 steals). The only other player averaging double figures in scoring is senior guard Darrin Haynes (11.0 ppg). The next three top scorers are senior Donivan Harville (9.6, 7.9 rebounds), junior 6-7 center Reece Eddy (8.1, 7.6) and sophomore guard Christian Nehme (6.9). Cheyenne Mountain advanced to the Elite Eight with victories last weekend over Durango (50-39) and Pueblo East (46-37). Pueblo East was the No. 1 seed in the regional that it hosted. Lewis-Palmer’s playoff quest for the “Gold Ball” began last weekend as it hosted one of eight regionals. The Rangers cruised to the Elite Eight in convincing style, defeating Roosevelt (93-48) and Evergreen (52-37) Against Roosevelt, Smith tallied a season-low three points. Scott paced the Rangers with a game-high 26 points. But it was a different story the next afternoon against Evergreen. Scott fouled out with 2:19 remaining in the fourth quarter. He had just nine points at the time of his departure. Smith paced all scorers with 16 points, followed by Stone’s 14 and Owens’ six. The quartet combined for 16 of the Rangers’ 18 fourth-quarter points as they turned a slim two-point lead into a relative blowout. “I think we’re a very unselfish team,” Smith said. “Against
d s
p s t i q g
l t p y P h Roosevelt we had a lot of other guys going well, like Dylan s (Tucker, 12 points) and Logan (Jones, 10 points). As long as t we get the win it doesn’t matter who scores.” Scott stressed that it matters little how many players T score in double figures if the defense doesn’t do its job. “We always rely on our defense,” Scott said. “That’s a luxury a lot of teams don’t have. “This is tournament time. Every game is going to be close. We all have to do our jobs.” McKinstry is careful not to allow his squad to look beyond this weekend. The players also seem to be focused on the next task at hand. “We have to continue to play with more urgency,” Stone said. “We’re at our best when we’re all working together as a team.

Swim folks expect big strokes ahead for coming season

MONUMENT - For the first time in six years, nobody with the last name of Arata will be competing for the Lewis-Palmer boys swimming team. But it hardly means that opposing teams from around the Pikes Peak region can take it easy. “We expect pretty big things from our guys this year,” said Lewis-Palmer head coach Alan Arata. “We lost four seniors who all swam on the final day (of the Class 5A state meet), but we have a great group coming back.” Among the quartet of seniors who graduated were Arata’s youngest son, Ryan, and 11-time all-American. Ryan pulled off a rare feat last season when he qualified for state in every event - including diving. He is now swimming for Stanford, currently ranked 9th in the nation. “I don’t think anybody loses a guy like Ryan and it doesn’t have an impact,” Alan Arata said. “It will affect us in the way we train. He was so precise. Ryan was a yardstick for all of our guys.” Lewis-Palmer, a combined District 38 team with Palmer Ridge, finished 6th at state in 2012. The Rangers were fourth at state in 2011, after winning back-to-back 4A state championships in 2009 and 2010 with Ryan Arata leading the way. This year’s squad has a nice blend of veterans and underclassmen. The Bains brothers, Hunter (a junior) and Cade (a sophomore) each placed at state in 2012; Hunter in the 200
Senior Michael Havenar, who was a 2012 State Finalist in the 500 Free and Metro Champ in the 200 Free will be returning this season to the Lewis-Palmer High School swim team. Photos by File photo yard freestyle and Cade in the 200 individual medley. “Cade is pretty much good at everything,” Arata said. “The 500 free. The 50 breast. He’s our top 100 butterfly.” Other returning state qualifiers include seniors Mike Carlson (50 free, 100 free) and Michael Havenar (500 free), and sophomore Daniel Deysher (200 free, 500 free). Junior Billy Wells is a transfer from Doherty who qualified for state in 2012. Freshman Riley Delahoyde is expected to make an impact.
Arata believes he might have best group of divers, despite the loss of junior Markus Perry, who is attending school on the east coast this year. Top returners are junior Zach Mullins (Metro League champ) and senior Jordan Purdham (14th at state). Freshman Devon Perry (Markus’ brother) should be in the mix for a state berth. The Rangers open their season Saturday with the Arapahoe Relays. “It’s fun,” Arata said. “We learn a little about each other without all the stress.”
Discovery Canyon finished 8th at the 4A state meet in 2012 - its best finish ever. Thunder coach Terre Christensen has 10 returning letterman among the 19 swimmers out this season. They are aiming for a top 6 finish at state. “One of our goals is to get 10 to 12 guys to state,” she said. “We have a pretty strong team this year. If everybody does what they need to do I think we’ll be in good shape.” Senior Luke Robert is back for his fourthseason. The Canadian finished second in the state in the 50 freestyle last year with a blistering time of 21.78. Robert will be a co-captain along with fellow seniors Jerry Hills and Prakhar Singal. “I’ve had the privilege of working with these guys all four years,” Christensen said. Other top swimmers are juniors David Keller, Daniel Liu, and sophomore Jonathan Donehower. Up and comers should be sophomore Eric Pannell and junior diver Ryan Byrnes. “Jonathan is coming back real strong,” Christensen said. “Eric will be somebody to watch. I think Ryan is really fired up.” The Thunder will swim in the powerful Pikes Peak Athletic Conference this season. It includes Air Academy (last year’s 4A state champion), Cheyenne Mountain and 5A Lewis-Palmer. “It’s one of the toughest swimming leagues in Colorado,” Christensen said. The Thunder will use Liberty as its home pool this season.

Redwine: La Plata County Sheriff does not consider dad a suspect
Flawed hero returns in new novel
Redwine continued from Page 1
By Norma Engelberg
to harm Dylan because he has a violent temper and he snaps easily,” Besty added. “I never raised my hand to her and I never hit her with an open hand or a fist. There was times when we got into pushing matches and I recall a time when she was standing in the door and she wouldn’t let me leave through the door and I physically removed her and threw her on the bed,” Mark Redwine told Dr. Phil. An ex-girlfriend of Mark Redwine was also on the show and said she doesn’t believe Mark would harm Dylan and she saw him as a loving father and he has been treated unfairly. The La Plata County Sheriff’s Office does not consider Mark or Elaine Redwine suspects in the disappearance of Dylan. Both have taken polygraph tests. Elaine passed her polygraph and Mark Redwine said he was told that he didn’t pass and then he was told that the results were inconclusive and that there were some questions as to whether or not the person giving the polygraph test was qualified. “That is unfair to you. That is absolutely unfair to you if they bring you someone that is unqualified or an inexperienced polygraph operator and put a cloud over you. That is absolutely unfair to you,” Dr. Phil said to Mark Redwine, adding that he had the best polygraph operator and resources available to him if he would like to clear his name.
The Polygraph Test
Prior to the polygraph Dr. Phil said if one of his sons were missing he would be doing everything possible to find them but he told Mark Redwine that he was acting the complete opposite. Mark Redwine did not show any emo-
tion during the two-day taping of the show. “You seem diametrically opposite from that. You seem smug, you seem cavalier, you seem unplugged, you seem combative. You just seem like you just aren’t engaged. Which makes me think either you don’t care or you already have the answer,” Dr. Phil told Mark Redwine. Back stage Dr. Phil told Mark that if he takes the polygraph and he has nothing to do with Dylan’s disappearance it will clear him. “I don’t know what happened here. If you have your son stashed somewhere or if God forbid you flew into a rage and you hurt him accidentally and he’s dead, if something has happened I will help you deal with it now and we will go recover that young man. Because if you are involved it’s just a matter of time,” Dr. Phil said, adding that his offer had a shelf life. “If you’re not involved then there’s something seriously wrong with you because your reaction to this, something’s wrong.” Mark Redwine responded by saying he’s not afraid of the truth and said he feels like his being attacked. He said he’s not a violent person and agreed to take a polygraph. Dr. Phil arranged for Jack Trimarco to administer the test but when it came down to it he backed out first saying his blood pressure was up and he would do it the next day. The next day 20 minutes into the test Mark Redwine said he didn’t sleep well the night before and had drank a half a bottle of Jim Beam and said he didn’t feel well enough. Trimarco said in all of years of giving polygraph tests he had never encountered anyone who refused to take a polygraph test in a missing child case whether they were involved or not.

FBI agent goes another round with international assassins nengelberg@ourcoloradonews.com
In his second novel, Monument author J.L Austgen returns readers to the world of FBI agent Evelyn Morgan and her antagonist, the amoral assassin Omar Ben Iblis, who, as his name suggests, might just be related to the Devil and his even more evil protégé. Austgen introduced Morgan in his debut novel “Keyser Run,” which was named for a trail outside of Washington, D.C. “Muckross Folly,” named after a place in Ireland where the bad guys go to ground, continues five days after the first novel ends. Readers learn more about Morgan’s dark secret and Austgen delves deeper into some of the other characters that whirl around her. As in his first novel, the body count for “Muchross Folly” is high.

Morgan grew up in Colorado and the state still has a minor role to play but much of the action takes place in Washington, D.C. backrooms, chartered jets and Killarney County, Ireland. The novel is filled with international intrigue, violence, political corruption and back stabbing and is sure to please readers with a bent for suspense. Austgen is a native of Virginia and he knows the Washington, D.C., area well but he lives in Colorado and knows the TriLakes and Woodland Park area well from days he and his wife and two children have spent hiking. He has an English degree from Colorado College with an emphasis on creative writing. He has at least five more plot lines for future Evelyn Morgan books, so readers should expect to see more of this strong female character.
