Monument names new town manager Interim town manager named to the position after six months
‘I couldn’t do this without the full support of the other managers (at town hall) and the board. We are a team here,.’ Pam Smith, town manager
By Lisa Collacott
lcollacott@ourcoloradonews. com Pam Smith, who has been the interim town manager for the town of Monument for the past six months, was named town manager at the last board of trustees meeting. Smith was sworn at the June 3 board meeting. She stepped into the position in January after town manager Cathy Green was asked to resign on Jan. 11. Smith, who was previously the town treasurer, said she took the position to fill a need but said she has thoroughly enjoyed working in the position and has had a lot of positive feedback from staff, the board of trustees and citizens.
“It’s been very challenging. There’s so much to do. But most of my life has been in management and it’s going well,” Smith said. Smith said there have been some changes to her contract that differ from Green’s but will result in salary savings for the town. She has received a $10,000 raise bringing her salary to $96,700. Green was paid $102,000. In addition Green’s contract stated that if she was asked to resign she would be paid six months’ severance. Smith said that six months was too excessive for a severance package and an agreement was
made for her contract to instead include a 90-day severance package. Smith said the new town treasurer is also receiving a raise but it will be approximately $12,000 lower than what she was making as treasurer. Smith was planning to retire in five years and had been training Monica Harder to be town treasurer however the permanent position as town manager changes things. “I couldn’t do this without the full support of the other managers (at town hall) and the board. We are a team here,” Smith added.

lcollacott@ourcoloradonews.com The town of Monument has a new town treasurer. Monica Harder was named to the position at the most recent board of trustees meeting. Harder has been filling the position for the past six months after town treasurer Pam Smith stepped up to fill the role of interim town manager after Cathy Green was asked to resign from her position as town manager. During her swearing in as treasurer at the June 3 board of trustees meeting, Harder got choked up while taking the oath. “It’s just a wonderful feeling. It’s a bit overwhelming,” Harder said. “I’m the custodian of all the citizens’ funds.” Harder said it’s been her goal to become town treasurer one day and has been taking the steps to learn and train for the position for quite some time. Smith was originally planning to retire before the town manager position came along and was training Harder to take her place. Harder has a background in finance having worked for financial institutions for

Eagle Forest subdivision final plat approved Board of county commissioners approve with an amendment By Lisa Collacott
lcollacott@ourcoloradonews.com The El Paso County Board of Commissioners approved the final plat for the Eagle Forest subdivision in Black Forest with an amendment. The meeting was continued to May 28 from May 14 and during the initial meeting the commission questioned a clearance letter needed from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as a condition of approval. Before the final plat went before the county commission, the planning commission approved it subject to conditions and notions. Conditions state: • No. 1 — “The developer shall comply with federal and state laws, regulations, ordinances, review and permit requirements and other agency requirements, if any, of applicable agencies including, but not
The Eagle Forest subdivision final plat was approved with an amendment by the county commissioners at the May 28 BOCC meeting. The subdivision is located near Shoup and Back Forest Roads. Photo by File photo limited to, the Colorado Division of Wildlife, Colorado Department of Transportation, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service regarding the Endangered Species Act, particularly as it relates to the Preble’s Meadow Jumping
Mouse as a listed threatened species.” • No. 3 — “Prior to issuance of a construction permit, the applicant and / or developer shall provide a clearance letter from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.” During the May 28 meeting, commissioners said they do not support condition three because the applicant is already complying with the law in condition one. “Condition one covers exactly what we need to cover under the law,” Commissioner Amy Lathen said. Commissioner Darryl Glenn made a motion to approve the final plat excluding condition three. “I believe that if we did not have condition one that we would be required to have condition three. I believe that we are on actual notice. I believe that condition one satisfies those requirements by incorporating that into our approval,” Glenn said. “I think we have satisfied those requirements.” The BOCC unanimously approved the final plat excluding condition three. The subdivision is to have nine singlefamily lots on a little more than 44 acres with the lot sizes three to five acres and five acres of open space.
Gun law affects domestic abusers Commissioner Glenn Restrictions got no GOP support in Legislature By Vic Vela
vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Domestic violence offenders will find it more difficult to own or transfer guns under a bill that was signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper on June 5. Senate Bill 197 places greater gun restrictions on persons who either are convicted in cases involving domestic violence, or those who have been served with a court-issued protection order. Prior to the bill being signed, Colorado law had already prohibited domestic violence offenders from having guns. The new law puts in place a system by which state courts ensure that offenders relinquish their weapons. Sen. Evie Hudak, D-Westminster, a bill sponsor, said an incident from about 20 years ago motivated her to carry the bill. A former teacher, Hudak said that a student of hers was shot to death by an ex-boyfriend, who had a restrain-

because of this.’ Sen. Evie Hudak, D-Westminster ing order against him. “I’ve wanted this to happen for a very long time,” Hudak said. “I think a lot of women and children will be safer because of this.” Under the new law, persons who have received court-imposed protection orders must relinquish any firearms and ammunition in their possession for the duration of the court order. The same rules will apply to persons convicted of domestic violence cases. They can then either sell or transfer their weapons to a licensed gun dealer or to someone who has successfully completed a gun background check. The weapon may also be given to a law enforcement agency for storage.
Before transferring a gun back to the offender, a firearms dealer or local law enforcement agency will be required to request a background check from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, to ensure that the person can lawfully possess the weapon. The bill was part of a package of Democrat-sponsored gun-control bills that passed the Legislature and have been signed into law by Hickenlooper this year. Republican lawmakers unanimously opposed the bill. Hudak’s sponsorship of the legislation, along with her votes on other gun bills, led to a recall petition effort being waged against her. That effort recently was suspended by recall organizers.
I-25 expansion project update for week of June 9 Special to The Tribune Construction crews will place concrete barriers this week to create a new work zone on the inside lanes of Interstate 25 between Baptist Road and Black Squirrel Creek, which is between North Gate Boulevard and Interquest Parkway. Northbound and southbound traffic will be reduced to one lane between 8:30 p.m. and 5:30 a.m., each night from June 9 to June 13. Once the barriers are in place drivers will find the traffic lanes in this segment are narrower than before. This new lane configuration may impact drivers entering southbound I-25 at Baptist Road. Crews also will be working from 8:30 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. June 12-13 in
the median of I-25 between Woodmen Road and North Academy Boulevard. This work also will require left lane closures to help ensure worker and driver safety. Allow extra driving time and slowdown in construction zones. Residents, commuters and others who drive I-25 between Woodmen Road in Colorado Springs and Monument are reminded to allow for extra driving time and to pay attention to reduced speeds in construction zones. A detour established for wide-load vehicles. Vehicles exceeding 13-feet in width are required to use a Colorado Department of Transportation approved detour to avoid the I-25 expansion work zone. The detour is necessary because lane widths have been reduced in several areas between Monument and
Woodmen Road in Colorado Springs. For northbound vehicles the detour is: US 24 Bypass, Mile Marker 139, east to Powers Boulevard; north on Powers Boulevard to Colo. 83; north on Colo. 83 to I-225; west on I-225 to northbound I-25. For southbound vehicles the detour is: I-225 east to Colo. 83; south on Colo. 83 to Powers Boulevard; south on Powers Boulevard to US 24 Bypass; US 24 Bypass west to southbound I-25.

Sheriff ’s office investigates shooting in Black Forest Special to the Tribune On June 7, 2013, at 1:13 p.m., the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office dispatched deputies to the 7000 block of Shoup Road in Black Forest after receiving a call from an adult male in-
dicating he had been shot and was injured. It was not apparent to the man where the shot came from. During the investigation, deputies learned the victim was a workman doing work on a vacant property. A man living at the adjacent property fired at a squirrel on his property and a round
struck the victim. The victim received minor injury and sought treatment at a local hospital. The suspect, 70-year-old Gregory Watson, was served and released on a summons and complaint for thirddegree assault and prohibited use of a weapon, both misdemeanors.
District 1 El Paso County Commissioner Darryl Glenn will host a town hall meeting in the auditorium of Lewis P a l m e r High School from 10 a.m.-noon on June 15.

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Undocumented immigrants living in Colorado will soon be able to obtain driver’s licenses under a bill that was recently signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper. Senate Bill 251 allows immigrants to apply for “separate category” types of state-issued IDs that can only be used for driving purposes. The licenses will indicate that the user is a non-citizen, and they will not be able to use the IDs to obtain benefits, board planes or register to vote. Hickenlooper and other support-
ers of the legislation, which was sponsored by Democrats Sen. Jessie Ulibarri of Commerce City and Rep. Jovan Melton of Aurora, argue that people who are here illegally are driving anyway, and that it’s in everyone’s best interest that they can do so lawfully. During the legislative process, bill supporters cited data from other states that have similar laws, such as Utah and New Mexico. Statistics from those states indicate that the numbers of insured motorists rose substantially after the laws were enacted. “You’re gonna have to have a driver’s license that allows people to drive to get to work … to make sure they have insurance, make sure they can testify in an automobile accident (court hearing), but at same time identifies that they aren’t full citizens,”
Hickenlooper told reporters on June 5, the day he signed the legislation. The law, which takes effect in August, requires those applying for these types of licenses to show certain forms of legal documentation, such as an ID from their native countries, and proof that they have filed state and federal income taxes. That’s in addition to standard driving tests. The bill did not garner a single Republican vote in the General Assembly. And three Democrats voted against the bill in the House of Representatives. Sen. Kevin Lundberg, R-Berthoud, said during an April 10 Senate committee hearing that he didn’t think the bill would make roads safer, and worried that more people would come to Colorado illegally for the driving privilege.
Cloud City introduces Green Box Arts Festival By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews.com A hullabaloo and yowzah! experience for the residents of Green Mountain Falls, the 20-ton sculpture with 16 modules is guaranteed to be the biggest thing that ever hit town. A gift from the town’s benefactor, Christian Keesee, the aluminum sculpture launches the Green Box Arts Festival, which begins June 23. Founder of the festival in 2007, Keesee continues to surprise audiences with a rich variety of culture, including theatre, art and sculpture, dance, literature, the culinary arts, photography and jewelry. But Cloud City is the ultimate, to date. “The sculpture reflects what the clouds look like,” said Graham Stewart, architect for the project who traveled with the piece from New York City to Green Mountain Falls. Eight fullsize semis, two modules each, carried the clouds into town the week of June 3. An interactive piece, visitors are invited to meander through the platforms and staircases to view the landscape from each of the 12 x 12-foot aluminum modules. “The piece reflects the environment from all different angles,” Stewart said. The sculpture is by Tomas Saraceno of Argentina. “Saraceno pushed the

Grass fire in Palmer Lake quickly contained Fire was started near railroad tracks by a blown transformer By Lisa Collacott
lcollacott@ourcoloradonews. com A small fire in Palmer Lake near the railroad tracks was quickly contained before it spread. The fire, which was caused by a blown transformer, started around 4:45 p.m. on June 3. The fire was located off of Spruce Mountain Road just north of County Line Road near the Douglas County line. Palmer Lake Volunteer Fire Department Capt. Abby Vierling said fire crews had the fire con-
trolled 15 minutes after being called to the scene. She said the fire was fully contained by 9 p.m. and crews remained on scene throughout the night to make sure it didn’t flare up again. She said the fire was contained to a small area on the east side of the railroad tracks. It burned scrub oak and cattails. It also burned the communication power line poles for the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway. There was no interruption to the train schedule.

Denver Capitol Dome project has link to Teller County By Pat Hill
phill@ourcoloradonews.com With gold mined in Teller County, the Capitol Dome in Denver is being restored with a donation of 72 ounces of gold from the Cripple Creek & Victor Mining Co. According to Jane Mannon, community affairs manager for CC&V, the price of gold at the time of the donation, September 2011, was $1,500 an ounce. “They send the pure gold bars to Italy where they make the gold leaf,” Mannon said. “There is nobody in the United States who makes gold leaf anymore.” The project includes removing most of the copper and gold elements from the building, which have been damaged from more than one hundred years of weather, including the freeze-thaw cycle of Colorado climate. “We are repairing the plaster under the gold dome to better support the watertight system that will create the new copper and gold dome on the Capitol,” said Chris Derington, restoration superintendent with GH Phipps Construction. The Capitol, an architectural landmark built in 1908, was adorned with gold donated by past owners of the same mine in Teller County.

Hepatitis A outbreak in frozen fruit blend Special to The Tribune El Paso County Public Health is urging residents who have consumed a frozen fruit blend potentially associated with a multi-state Hepatitis A outbreak to get a Hepatitis A vaccine within 14 days of eating the food. El Paso County Public Health is working with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, the Centers for Disease Control, Food and Drug Administration and other state health departments to investigate the outbreak potentially associated with Townsend Farms Organic Antioxidant Blend from Costco. As of June 5, El Paso County Public Health has investigated three suspected Hepatitis A cases associated with this outbreak. So far, cases have been reported in seven states: Colorado, New
Mexico, Nevada, Arizona, California, Utah and Hawaii. “We urge people to check their freezers. If you have the product, dispose of it. Do not eat it,” said El Paso County Public Health Director Jill Law. Hepatitis A is a highly contagious liver disease that results from infection with the Hepatitis A virus. It can range in severity from a mild illness lasting a few weeks to a severe illness lasting several months. The Hepatitis A vaccine can prevent infection if given within 14 days of infection. If you have received Hepatitis A vaccine in the past you do not need to be revaccinated. Residents can seek the vaccine from a health care provider or local pharmacy. El Paso County Public Health will also be offering free Hepatitis A vaccines at the Immunization Clinic, 1675 W.
Garden of the Gods Road. The earliest case was reported April 29. The number of cases in this outbreak may change because on average it takes 30 days to become ill with Hepatitis A after eating contaminated food. The outbreak is believed to be associated with Townsend Farms Organic Antioxidant Blend purchased from Costco. This blend includes cherries, blueberries, pomegranate seeds, raspberries and strawberries. Environmental Health Specialists with El Paso County Public Health have confirmed that Costco has voluntarily removed this product from its two Colorado Springs stores.

and sent off site to be stripped of paint, repainted and reinstalled as the scaffold is being removed from the building,” he said. In a ceremony at 11:45 a.m. June 18, the gold is scheduled to be turned over to Gov. John Hickenlooper. According to Mannon, CC & V employees will gather in
a line on the Capitol stairs before the ceremony. Application of the gold leaf is scheduled to begin in August and is expected to take several months. “Most of it is gold leaf in a roll 65 feet long,” Mannon said. The last phase of the restoration is sandblasting and painting the base of the drum, repairing and reinstalling the windows. The entire project is expected to be completed by the summer of 2014. A $17 million project, a portion of the money is from Limited Gaming Impact fund. “So they cut way back on gaming grants for historic projects because it went to the dome,” Mannon said. “We’ve been told that funds are going to be tight because a lot of the money is going to the Capitol.” As well, Mannon expresses concern about the ongoing maintenance of the Capitol. “Is there a source of funding because they let it go for so many years,” she said “On the one hand it’s good that the gaming dollars are there, but on the other hand, this is a function of government; they need to maintain their facilities.” Colorado Preservation Inc. heads up the fundraising campaign in a partnership with the private Share in the Care organization.

Gold shining on Colorado’s dome Gold is an impressive and appropriate material to cover the top of the state’s top government building. The precious metal helped build and pay for much of the `Centennial State’s’ growth and expansion. It called out to the first Argonauts of 1859 and inspired their push for “Pikes Peak or Bust.” Later, the yellow metal made possible `the greatest gold camp in the world’ at Cripple Creek and Victor. Money earned in that district, transformed Colorado Springs into a world class tourist destination and paid for city, county and federal buildings all over town. Huge lumps were pulled from Clear Creek and the central mountains near Breckenridge. If California hadn’t beaten us to it by 10 years, we probably would be known as the Golden State. But the dome wasn’t always golden. In fact the whole building had a bit of a troubled history. Henry Brown, (the same Brown who built another Denver landmark, the Brown Palace Hotel) donated the land for the building a full eight years before statehood in 1868, but because no fundraising was occurring at the time Colorado became a state, he filed a law suit, and put up a wooden fence around the property. The suit went all the way to the United States Supreme Court where Brown’s revocation of the property was rejected. Even so, builders didn’t turn a shovel on the new structure until 1886.
And it was slow going for years afterward.The first contractor encountered cost overruns early on and was replaced. The Detroit architect who designed the building, Elijah Meyers, was fired after two years on the job. The second architect, Pete Gumry, was killed in an explosion of another building. Striking quarry workers slowed construction. The third architect, James Murdoch, resigned after three years. Local architect, F.E. Edbrooke, (who had designed many local buildings including the Brown Palace) finally finished the job. It was Edbrooke who suggested that the dome be gilded with real Colorado gold. But that part of the project didn’t happen until 1908.The original dome’s copper sheathing turned a dull greenish hue shortly after completion. A donation of 200 ounces of real Colorado gold, produced by the Colorado Mining Association at the urging of San Juan road-builder, newspaper founder, and
general all-purpose pioneer, Otto Mears -- finished off the building. Of course, the price of gold wasn’t over $1,200 an ounce at that time. It was re-gilded in 1948, again in 1980 and once more in 1991.“Atop the dome is a glass globe four feet in diameter that surrounds a beacon-like light bulb. Originally it was thought that a statue, of the “most beautiful woman in Colorado” was the most appropriate way to adorn the dome. One board member suggested his own daughter and with the female members of the legislature voting for themselves, the board did the politically correct thing and voted down the proposition,” according to virtual tour information at the state’s web site.In 2009, Governor Bill Ritter announced that plans to repair the golden dome were put on hold. The cast iron that makes up the bulk of the dome is rusting and crumbling. “But the state officials say the public is not in any danger. Visitors have not been allowed on the walkway around the dome since a 10-pound piece of cast iron fell off in 2007,” said a June 30, 2009 article by Claire Trageser in the Denver Post. Times were tough, but thanks to the mine and the casinos, at least Coloradans decided they could afford gold for the roof over our head.In September of 2011, Cripple Creek & Victor Mining delivered a 72-ounce, solid, gold button that will be
used to produce gold leaf for Colorado the Capitol Dome. At prices at that time, that was nearly $130,000 worth of gold. “The dome now needs $17 million in urgent repairs that the state doesn’t have to spare, and gold is once again booming, with prices near all-time highs,” according to a Sept. 23 story by Kirk Johnson in the New York Times.“It’s your gold,” Mark Cutifani, the chief executive of AngloGold Ashanti, the parent company of CC & V, was quoted in the Times. Cutifani handed over the gold to Governor John Hickenlooper at a ceremony at the Capitol. The company has owned CC & V Mining since 1999 and averages as much as 700 ounces of gold a day at its operation between Cripple Creek and Victor. It is the largest private employer in Teller County. “But in another twist of history, much of the real money for the building’s broader repairs could also come, indirectly, from the once-moldering old mining towns themselves.” The Times piece cited the gambling tax that goes to a statewide historic preservation fund that state lawmakers used to begin the restoration process. Colorado Preservation, Inc. was pushing to restore the fund, which they say would be exhausted if it has to pay for the entire project. The repairs were to concentrate on the painted and gilded metal-clad areas and was expected to be completed in mid 2014.
because it was not fun. We invested in a better tent the next time we went camping. Now I just want to be warm and comfortable and living in Colorado I have no desire to do any tent camping. I don’t want an encounter with a bear. A couple of summers ago we made the six-hour drive to Ridgeway State Park
located between Montrose and Ouray. It is a beautiful place with plenty of camping sites. There is lake with a beach, plenty of places to hike or bike, fishing and for those die-hard golfers there are golf courses nearby. Last summer we decided to try something different and went to Cutty’s Hayden Creek Resort in Coaldale. We stood in a cabin. There are some really nice cabins there but we stood in one of the more rustic cabins. We had a great time but weren’t allowed to use a charcoal grill or have a campfire because of the high fire danger so that was a downer. The resort does have spots for campers and tents and they have two swimming pools, miniature golf, horseshoes and a basketball court. On our last day we decided to do something
we always wanted to do and that was go white water rafting. The Arkansas River is so close by there are plenty of places to go. I’m told Mueller State Park is a great place to go camping. Although I’ve never been, my daughter has when she was in Girl Scouts; it’s much closer to home for a quick weekend camping trip. The park has 55 miles of trails and 132 camp sites to choose from. There are plenty of opportunities to view wildlife. If the need arises to get out the park and take in some other attractions the Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument, Pikes Peak Cog Railway, Molly Kathleen Gold Mine and the Gold Belt Scenic Byway Tour is not too far way. So how about a little camping this summer?
Experience camping in colorful Colorado June is finally here! Not that we had an extremely cold or snowy winter or spring but a few weeks ago when it was still cold I was ready for summer. I’ve spent some time outdoors lately pulling weeds and planting flowers but summertime means camping time. June is after all National Camping Month. It’s time to pull out those sleeping bags and coolers and bring out the tent unless you own a camper. I am personally done with tent camping. We camped in a tent for many years but now that I am older I prefer to sleep off the ground and would like to stay dry if it should rain. We got soaked once while camping. We didn’t have the best tent and everything got wet. It was a good thing it was our last night of that camping trip

Smart direction on school safety Armed guards patrol banks, ballparks and airports. It is rarely argued they are out of place in those venues. Schools are different. They are places of learning, places for children, our nation’s most precious resource. Years after Columbine, months after Sandy Hook, talk of placing armed security personnel in schools evokes a broad range of reactions. If done wrong, such a move could be disruptive and create fear among students. But if done right, there is little to lose and perhaps, lives to be saved. We see a partnership in Douglas County between the school district and local law enforcement agencies as an example of a way to bolster security while allowing for an unfettered learning environment. Beginning with the next school year in August, plain-clothes officers from the sheriff’s office and three police departments will patrol the county’s public elementary and middle schools. At the high school level, armed resource officers have been a presence on campus for years. A safety committee’s work on this new program began shortly after December’s mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Connecticut. It is a multifaceted plan that incorporates security measures beyond the presence of officers, including improved screening of visitors and enhanced use of technology. But the move to place armed officers on campuses, announced May 30, is what has made headlines. That’s understandable. Creating a police state at our schools is not something anyone should want. To be clear, though, that’s not what is being
our view planned in Douglas County. The School Marshal Program will see deputies and police officers assigned to schools in nearby proximity, and the officers will be a daily presence at the schools. The plan is to allow for greater ability to respond to an incident, as well as be a deterrent to those with ill intent. “We’re not aware of any other program like this in the country,” said Elizabeth Fagen, superintendent of the Douglas County School District. Strengthening community bonds is among the most laudable elements of the program. Douglas County’s safety committee has representatives from law enforcement agencies, the school district and various community members. Some may question whether the program will be worth its price tag - at least $500,000 on the part of the school district and an undisclosed amount absorbed by the law enforcement agencies. It’s a fair question, but we’re not prepared to set a dollar limit on children’s safety. Douglas County is among the most affluent areas of the entire nation, and the program’s cost may make it prohibitive for many school districts and communities to fully implement. But the root ideas of a multi-pronged approach and community cooperation are worthy of serious consideration in Colorado and around the country.

New sculptures dot Tri-Lakes landscape Nine pieces bring total to even dozen By Lisa Collacott
lcollacott@ourcoloradonews.com
T
ri-Lakes residents don’t necessarily have to go to an art gallery to view great pieces of art. Thanks to Tri-Lakes Views and the outdoor sculpture exhibit, residents and visitors alike can see sculptures at various locations throughout the TriLakes area. And as of June 5 there are nine new pieces to see. Since 2009, Tri-Lakes Views has placed sculptures at the Tri-Lakes Center for the Arts, the Tri-Lakes Chamber of Commerce, the town of Monument and the sculpture park at the Lewis-Palmer School District 38 Administration Building also known as Big Red. Betty Konarski, member of the steering committee for Tri-Lakes Views, said a survey was taken a few years ago and it was found that people wanted to see art in their everyday lives and not just in art galleries. The people were heard, and now once a year new sculptures are brought in. There are a total of 12 sculptures with three of them being permanent. Konarski said she likes that the other pieces are changed out every year. Sculptor Reven-Marie Swanson just had her fourth sculpture installed. “She’s been here every year since we started. The beauty of her work is that she does something new every year,” Konarski said, adding that Swanson is the only artist that has had a sculptor on display all four years. Swanson has contemporary sculptures throughout Colorado, including Pueblo, Castle Rock, Glenwood Springs and Grand Junction as well as in Texas, New Mexico, Wyoming and Washington. Her latest piece titled “Aspen” can be seen at the Tri-Lakes Chamber. “Aspen” is a kinet-

Swanson works with several mediums that include metal, fiber, kinetic, stone, glass and ceramic. “Betty has encouraged me to be here. It’s close by and it’s close to bike riding,” Swanson said. Sculpture Jane Rankin has a piece in the outdoor sculpture exhibit for the first time. Her sculpture “My Book” has been placed at the sculpture park at Big Red. Rankin said she was invited to apply to submit a piece and her sculpture was chosen. “I feel honored,” Rankin said of being chosen. Rankin uses bronze as her medium and has had sculptures in Breckenridge, Pueblo, Colorado Springs and Fort Collins as well as Florida, Iowa, California, Georgia, Mississippi, Illinois and Nebraska. This year there are two new pieces at the TLCA, one at the Tri-Lakes Chamber, two at Monument town hall and four in the sculpture park. Konarski said there will be an updated map available in August and if anyone wishes to be included in the map, they need to have outdoor art exhibit and contact Tri-Lakes Views at 719-481-2769 or send an email to bkonarski@earthlink. net. An annual call to artists for the outdoor sculpture exhibit occurs from January to March each year.

Center for the Arts offers variety of events By Lisa Collacott
lcollacott@ourcoloradonews.com The long summer days can bring plenty of heat and thunderstorms but this summer will also bring plenty of events to the Tri-Lakes Center for the Arts. From art exhibits to concerts to comedies the TLCA has something for everyone to enjoy. TLCA Executive Director Dr. Michael Maddox and the board of directors have dedicated themselves and worked diligently to bringing high quality shows to the Tri-Lakes area. “It is rewarding to hear so many exclaim that they love the idea they no longer have to go to Colorado Springs or Denver to attend music and theatrical events. They can attend great shows right here in their hometown,” Maddox said.
Black and White with Shades of Gray Exhibition This photography and art exhibit will take place from June 4-29 in the main gallery. Works from several artists and photographers including Sandra Dye, Charlie Lehman, Debi Story Maddox, Alexa Mashour, Susie Rieple, Alyssa Rossbach, Carolanne Ryan, Dusty Severn, Lucy Simpson and Rich Spellman will be on display.
Lelia DeMello Exhibition The Lucy Owens Gallery will feature the work of Lelia DeMello from June 4-29. DeMello is a self-taught colorist and has sold more than 900 paintings to collectors from around the world. Resorts have
commissioned her work and she has had 11 sold-out solo shows. DeMello was born in Boston and raised on Cape Cod. She moved to Hawaii in 1982 and began her career in 1987.
Flying W Ranglers Concert Their home away from home, the Flying W Ranch, may have burned to the ground during the Waldo Canyon Fire but the Flying W Wranglers are still going strong, giving performances as often as they can. They will bring their traditional cowboy music to the TLCA on June 14. The Wranglers have been a part of the Flying W Ranch for 54 years, making them the world’s second oldest singing group. Advance tickets for the concert are $15 for members and $18 for non-members.
Leon Littlebird Event Littlebird is a singer, songwriter and performer who has roots both in the pioneer and Native American cultures and will perform at the TLCA on June 21. Littlebird combines Native American flute, guitar and percussion with storytelling. A native Coloradan, his great-grandfather was one of the settlers in Black Hawk but he also has roots that go back to the indegenous Navajo people of northern New Mexico. Because of his heritage Littlebird has an understanding and love for the Colorado mountains and the southwest. He has performed on world class stages. Advance tickets for the Leon Littlebird Concert are $10 for members and $12 for non-members.
Kill the Critic Theatrical Production This dramatic comedy will make it’s debut at the TLCA with two performances. The comedy was written by award winning playwright Todd Wallinger and will be directed by Nancy Holaday. The story takes place in 1955 with a young actor, Trevor Stanton, getting ready to make his broadway debut. In order to avoid a poor review that could potentially ruin his career, Stanton decides to kidnap the most powerful New York City theatre critic and in the process accidently kills him. In a press release sent out by TLCA Wallinger said, ”I’ve always loved the zany over-the-top humor of Mel Brooks and the Marx Brothers. But I wanted to go a little darker than they ever did. My experience as a theatre critic gave me the inspiration for this play. I just hope it doesn’t give local actors any ideas.” Wallinger was once the theatre critic for the Colorado Springs Gazette and currently assumes that role for the Colorado Springs Independent. ”Kill the Critic” will debut at the TLCA on June 28 and 29. All tickets are $15.
Acoustic Eidolon Concert The duo of Joe Scott and Hannah Alkire bring their music once again to the TLCA on July 13. They blend Celtic, Folk, Latin and World music with their double neck guitjo and cello. The two have made nine CD’s and a DVD and have performed throughout the U.S., Europe, Australia and Canada. Advanced tickets are $12 for members and $15 for non-members.
“Kill the Critic” is dramatic comedy making its debut at the Tri-Lakes Center for the Arts and is one of many events at the center this summer. There will be art exhibits and concerts as well. Tickets can be purchased online or by calling 719-481-0475. Courtesy photo

More lawns dying due to overwatering Special to the Tribune The Colorado State University Extension office has recently noticed a marked increase in the number of homeowners whose lawns are dying as a result of overwatering. For drought-tolerant grass growing in clay soil, prolonged watering often results in a soggy brown lawn.
With clay soil, if a person can push a screwdriver six inches into the ground then watering is not needed. The amount of water a particular lawn needs on any given day is very much dependent upon the type of turf growing, the type of soil the turf is growing in and the weather. For more information about keeping lawns green contact the Colorado Master Gardener Help Desk.
Colorado Master Gardener volunteers are available at 305 South Union Boulevard to diagnose plant problems and research and answer gardening and landscaping questions from 9:00 a.m. to noon Monday-Friday. Alternatively contact the help desk anytime by email at csumg2@ elpasoco.com or by phone 719-5207684.

Pikes Peak International Hill Climb set for June 30
0 port
More than two dozen local drivers will compete in the event By Danny Summers With the 91st running of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb less than three weeks away, drivers and crews are putting the final touches on their cars and motorcycles. This year’s Race to the Clouds is being billed as one of the most exciting in the history of the event, which began in 1916. That year’s event was won by Fred Junk, who raced to the top of America’s Mountain in 20 minutes, 4.6 seconds. Junk’s winning time as been cut in half over the years. Today’s event not only brings together top racers from around the United States, but drivers from all over the world. Upwards of 20 nations will be represented at the June 30 event. They are coming from Japan, Latvia, France, Sweden, Canada, Brazil, Great Britain, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Italy, Scotland, Poland, Korea and New Zealand. Colorado Springs and the surrounding area will be represented by more than two dozen drivers who hope to take home top prizes various divisions. Woodland Park’s Clint Vahsholtz is preparing for his 23rd ascent up the mountain. Nineteen previous times Vahsholtz has come down a winner. “We’ve been working pretty hard the last month,” Vahsholtz said. “We’re going straight-forward into this. It’s exciting.” Vahsholtz will compete in the Open Wheel Division for the first time. He had competed in the Super Stock division for years, but race organizers eliminated that division this year. Vahsholtz has taken the chasse off his Ford Mustang body and is using it for his new Ford Open car. It has wings and is
Japan’s Nobuhiro “Monster” Tajima, is entered again in his Pikes Peak Special E-Runner. Tajima made headlines last year when his car caught fire and forced the former course record holder – the first to crack the 10-minute mark (in 2011) – out of the race. Tajima won the Unlimited division nine times on the Peak. low to the ground. “It’s exotic,” he said. “We have a V-8 engine in it with about 860 horsepower, compared to 620 that we were running before. “If we can figure things out with this car, I think it will run somewhere between (nine minutes, 40 seconds) and 10:15. A time of 9:40 would break the existing Hill Climb record by more than six seconds. It would also shatter Vahsholtz’s personal-best time by more than a minute. The field will include 91 autos and 71 motorcycles for 162 competitors who want to challenge America’s Mountain and its finish line at its 14,110-foot summit. Among the 30 or so drivers from the Colorado Springs and Tri-Lakes area are
Jimmy Kenney (Unlimited), David Donner (Time Attack), Fred Weitch (Time Attack), Donner Billingsly (Open Wheel), Dan Novembre (Open Wheel), Chris Strauch (Open Wheel), Dave Wood (Open Wheel), Rod Moberly (Pikes Peak Open), Randy Schranz (Pikes Peak Open), Ralph Murdock (Pikes Peak Vintage), Chris Lennon (Pikes Peak Vintage) and Dan Elders (Pikes Peak Super Bike 750). “You have drivers from every form of motorsport, every manufacturer, they have all done it and it’s great to be a part of this truly remarkable event,” Donner said. “My grandfather helped revive it after World War II, my dad won it three times in a Porsche, and my late brother Bobby won it in 1989. This event has so much personal meaning it’s difficult to
state.” The loaded Unlimited automobile division features the two drivers – French star Romain Dumas and veteran Rhys Millen – who took turns in breaking the all-time course record during last year’s race. Millen set the course record of 9:46.164 in winning the Time Attack division, and Dumas broke the old mark a bit earlier in the race by clocking 9:46.181 in winning the Pikes Peak Open division. Both drivers moved to Unlimited this year, setting up a classic showdown in the same field. Dumas, last year’s Rookie of the Year, will be joining the big cars in the Unlimited field with a brand-new Norma M20FCPP prototype entry in hopes of even a faster time on the asphalt 12.42 mile course. Millen has entered in a racy Hyundai PM580T. Millen has loaned out his record-setting auto from last year – a Hyundai Genesis Coupe – to the veteran Paul Dallenbach of Basalt, who becomes one of the favorites this year in the Time Attack division. “I think we could see some times in the low 9s this year,” Vahsholtzsaid. “There are a bunch of good divers in the Unlimited division with a lot of money backing ‘em.”* There is also a huge buzz in the Electric Auto division, where one of the race’s legends, Japan’s Nobuhiro “Monster” Tajima, is entered again in his Pikes Peak Special E-Runner. Tajima made headlines last year when his car caught fire and forced the former course record holder – the first to crack the 10-minute mark (in 2011) – out of the race. Tajima won the Unlimited division nine times on the Peak.* *He will be up against another of the event’s legends, Rod Millen, the father of Rhys Millen, and winner of the Unlimited title five times. In 2011, Rod returned to Pikes Peak after a lengthy absence and triumphed in the Time Attack 2WD division.*

Air Force Football Coach Troy Calhoun to Headline Event By Danny Summers COLORADO SPRINGS – Air Force Academy football coach Troy Calhoun will headline the Colorado Springs Sports Corporation College Football Luncheon on June 19. Calhoun will be joined by other top football coaches from around the state at the event, which will be held at the Cheyenne Mountain Resort. Taking center stage with Calhoun will be new University of Colorado head coach Mike MacIntrye, Colorado State coach Jim McElwain, CSU-Pueblo coach John Wristen and Northern Colorado coach Earnest Collins, Jr. Calhoun is the only Falcons coach in the 100-plus year history of service academy football to lead teams to at least seven wins and a bowl game in each of his first five seasons. Calhoun was a semifinalist for the 2010 Paterno National Coach of the Year award for his efforts on and off the field. His players have also been amazingly
successful finishing their academic and leadership responsibilities. The Air Force football team’s most recent NCAA APR is an astounding 980 which once again places the Academy amongst the nation’s top 10 in the sport of football. Calhoun is 47-31 in six seasons after taking over a program that had posted three straight losing seasons before his arrival. He has posted wins at Notre Dame and Utah, and led the Falcons to a school-record six straight bowl games. Last season the Falcons competed in the Armed Forces Bowl andfinished the season with a 6-7 overall mark. In 2011, he led the school to its first back-to-back Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy titles since 2002 with victories over Army and Navy. In Mountain West Conference play Calhoun is 29-18 and his conference winning percentage (.617) is the fifth best in conference history Air Force opens its season Aug. 31 against Colgate at Falcon Stadium.
THORNE, LARSEN SHINE AT COORS FIELD Derek Larsen and Carter Thorne, Palmer Ridge baseball players who helped the Bears to a postseason berth last month, got to display their talents at Coors Field on June 2 in the Colorado Rockies Futures game. The game pitted seniors against juniors and took place after the Rockies’ 7-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. More than 50 of the state’s top prep players took part in the affair. The seniors won the game 4-1. Thorne, representing the junior squad, doubled and struck out in his two plate appearances. Larsen played for the senior squad. He walked and grounded out.

CHIEF MANITOU. The Palmer Lake Historical Society presents “Chief Manitou and His Contributions to the Pikes Peak Region” at 7 p.m. June 20 at Palmer Lake Town Hall, 28 Valley Crescent, Palmer Lake. Robert Cronk presents an informative evening about Pedro Cajete. Pedro was a Tewa Indian from the Santa Clara Pueblo in New Mexico, who became known locally as “Chief Manitou.” This program was rescheduled from February due to bad weather. Robert became interested in the history of “Chief Manitou” while exploring Pedro’s Cave near the Cave of the Winds, which was named for Pedro Cajete. Robert’s research uncovered information about “Chief Manitou,” his travels, and his impact on the tourist industry of this region in the early part of the Twentieth Century. He also found “Chief Manitou” was well liked wherever he went, and why, back in his Pueblo, Pedro became known as “The Great Storyteller.” This event is free and refreshments will be served after the presentation.

In one of his final actions taken on bills that passed the Legislature this year, Gov. John Hickenlooper on June 5 signed into law a measure that expands labor rights for firefighters in Colorado. There was uncertainty as to whether the governor would sign Senate Bill 25, especially after he had threatened to veto the original version of the bill earlier this year. Former Gov. Bill Ritter vetoed similar legislation while he was in office. But Hickenlooper did indeed provide his signature to the Colorado Firefighter Safety Act, two days before the deadline passed for all bills to be signed into law. The law allows Colorado firefighters to have bargaining discussions on issues pertaining to job safety, regardless of whether individual municipalities prohibit collective bargaining. However, the legislation does not mandate collective bargaining rights on compensatory matters, such as salary, as was laid out in the original version of the bill. Nor does it mandate union organizing without a vote taking place in that particular commu-

nity. Hickenlooper said the final version of the bill was a compromise that he could accept. “Clearly we had to do something to allow firefighters to meet and confer,” Hickenlooper told reporters after signing the bill. “It doesn’t make it any easier for them to get collective bargaining ....” The legislation gives professional firefighters the opportunity to put labor rights issues on the ballot and allows them the opportunity to openly participate in the political process — something that is prohibited by some municipalities. Republicans argued during the legislative process that the bill usurps the authority of local governments to make bargaining rights decisions on their own. And the Colorado Municipal League criticized the governor’s decision to sign the legislation. Hickenlooper took issue with those concerns in a written statement that was distributed to reporters following his remarks. “As we witnessed last summer, firefighters from various locales were deployed to risk their lives outside the boundaries of their own immediate communities,” Hickenlooper wrote. “Their safety and the effectiveness of their equipment and training are a matter of mixed statelocal concern.” The bill was sponsored by Sen. Lois Tochtrop of Thornton and Rep. Angela Williams of Denver, both of whom are Democrats.

MONUMENT TOWN OF 2013 Drinking Water Quality Report For Calendar Year 2012 Public Water System ID: CO0121475
Public Notice
Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791) or by visiting http://water.epa.gov/drink/contaminants.
Esta es información importante. Si no la pueden leer, necesitan que alguien se la traduzca. We are pleased to present to you this year’s water quality report. Our constant goal is to provide you with a safe and dependable supply of drinking water. Please contact TOM THARNISH at 719-499-1126 with any questions about the Drinking Consumer Confidence Rule (CCR) or for public participation opportunities that may affect the water quality. General Information All drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immunocompromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV-AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk of infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. For more information about contaminants and potential health effects, or to receive a copy of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and microbiological contaminants call the EPA Safe Drinking Water Hotline at (1-800-426-4791). The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs,
and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. Contaminants that may be present in source water include: •Microbial contaminants: viruses and bacteria that may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife. •Inorganic contaminants: salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming. •Pesticides and herbicides: may come from a variety of sources, such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses. •Radioactive contaminants: can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. •Organic chemical contaminants: including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are byproducts of industrial pro-
cesses and petroleum production, and also may come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff, and septic systems. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment prescribes regulations limiting the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. The Food and Drug Administration regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water that must provide the same protection for public health.

for future contamination threats. This can help us ensure that quality finished water is delivered to your homes. In addition, the source water assessment results provide a starting point for developing a source water protection plan. Potential sources of contamination in our source water area are listed on the next page.
Source Water Assessment and Protection (SWAP) The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has provided us with a Source Water Assessment Report for our water supply. For general information or to obtain a copy of the report please visit http://wqcdcompliance.com/ ccr. The report is located under “Source Water Assessment Reports”, and then “Assessment Report by County”. Select EL PASO County and find 121475; MONUMENT TOWN OF or by contacting TOM THARNISH at 719-499-1126. The Source Water Assessment Report provides a screening-level evaluation of potential contamination that could occur. It does not mean that the contamination has or will occur. We can use this information to evaluate the need to improve our current water treatment capabilities and prepare
Lead in Drinking Water If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems (especially for pregnant women and young children). It is possible that lead levels at your home may be higher than other homes in the community as a result of materials used in your home’s plumbing. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking
Our Water Sources Source
or cooking. Additional information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791) or at http://www. epa.gov/safewater/lead.
Please contact us to learn more about what you can do to help protect your drinking water sources, any questions about the Drinking Water Consumer Confidence Report, to learn more about our system, or to attend scheduled public meetings. We want you, our valued customers, to be informed about the services we provide and the quality water we deliver to you every day.

Violations
Detected Contaminants MONUMENT TOWN OF routinely monitors for contaminants in your drinking water according to Federal and State laws. The following table(s) show all detections found in the period of January 1 to December 31, 2012 unless otherwise noted. The State of Colorado requires us to monitor for certain contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants are not expected to vary significantly from year to year, or the system is not considered vulnerable to this type of contamination. Therefore, some of our data, though representative, may be more than one year old. Violations and Formal Enforcement Actions, if any, are reported in the next section of this report.

Note: If any violation relates to failing to install adequate filtration or disinfection equipment or processes, or have had a failure of such equipment or processes then the water may be inadequately treated. Inadequately treated water may contain disease-causing organisms. These organisms include bacteria, viruses, and parasites, which can cause symptoms such as nausea, cramps, diarrhea, and associated headaches. Explanation of the violation(s) and the steps taken to resolve them: Note: The Town of Monument Water Department would like to take this opportunity to explain the violation of the combined radium MCL. The Town of Monument�s water system consists of 9 groundwater wells that supply water to the distribution system at 7 different locations. The source of the combined radium violation was our well #6. Well #6 produces about 20 gallons per minute and accounts for 1% of our total water production. The Town of Monument has shut down well #6 until an engineering evaluation can be completed and the future of the well is determined. All other wells have tested below the combined radium MCL and are tested on a routine basis. The Town of Monuments�water system is constantly monitored, sampled and is safe to drink.
