Tri-Lakes Relay celebrates fifth year Teams raise money for cancer research, local outreach By Norma Engelberg Contributing writer
Relay for Life of Tri-Lakes is gearing up for another 12 hours of celebration and remembrance as teams begin fundraising to beat cancer that will culminate on Aug. 2 at the Lewis-Palmer High School’s Don Breese Stadium. The Relay starts at 7 p.m. and ends at 7 a.m. on Aug. 3 “The Relay is meant to be a celebration of life,” said Charity Jones, American Cancer Society community events specialist working in the Tri-Lakes area. “The opening ceremony, the Survivor’s Lap with their caretakers, the teams; we’re all standing up against cancer.” The event is a true relay. There are teams made up of families, friends and/or co-workers who, after the opening ceremony and Survivors’ Lap, take turns making sure there is at least one or two team member on the track at all times until the closing ceremony, Every registered team member gets a T-shirt. “Walking around the track is symbolic,” Jones said. Also symbolic of remembrance and one of the most
moving parts of the event is the luminaria ceremony at 9 p.m. “Each luminaria is decorated in memory of those we’ve lost or in honor of those who are still fighting,” Jones said. “The luminaria are lighted and the field lights are turned off. We walk around the darkened track as our loved ones’ names are read and we celebrate their lives and memories. It can be a very emotional time.” The rest of the event is a time to keep up the spirits and energies of the walkers, including the on-site DJ who will keep the music coming. “One big highlight of the night is the Misster Relay event,” Jones said. “The guys dress up as women and raise money for cancer research. It’s very competitive and just about every team signs up a guy.” The “guy” who raises the most money from the other participants is crowned “Misster Relay.” Food is another fundraiser. Participants pay $8 for wristband that entitles them to eat all night. “There will be lots of incredible food,” Jones said. “California Pizza Kitchen and Texas Roadhouse are just two of the restaurants providing food. No one will go hungry.” Speaking of food, Jones added that the Survivors’ Dinner at

Survivors will get their special T-shirts either at the dinner or at the field before they take their lap. Other activities include a silent auction with wine, beauty products, crafts and other items; a bouncy house for children, themed laps and dance-step instructions to name just a few. The entire community is invited to stay the course or just drop in for a few hours. “Some people come for the opening ceremony or maybe come for the luminaria ceremo-

Most people walk around the track but we’ve had a few who run it.” Teams and their members can register for $10 per member online at www.relayforlife.org or even at the event. “It’s never too late to form a team,” Jones said, adding that survivors can also register before the Relay online or by calling 800-227-2345. “Choose option No. 2 and someone will help you sign up over the phone.”

Karen Brofft’s contract doesn’t require her to begin her career as the Lewis-Palmer School District 38 superintendent until July 1, but she wanted to get a jump start on things. Brofft took her seat in the big chair on Monday, June 16. The move occurred just three days after interim superintendent Ted Bauman ended his reign. “I’m not working every day in June, but I plan to be here as often as I can,” Brofft said. Brofft is getting paid on a per diem rate until her contract kicks in. Brofft, 55, was hired as the District’s new superintendent in March. There were 34 applicants for the post. The Tri-Lakes area District had more than 6,200 students at the end of the last school year in Monument, Palmer Lake, Woodmoor and northern Black Forest, and a general fund budget of $44 million. It is consistently one of the top in state academic assessment tests. Nearly 90 percent of its graduates go on to higher education. Before going into education Brofft worked in public relations and was a computer programmer. Besides serving as assistant superintendent of the diverse 3,000-student Englewood schools through June 6 of this year, she was principal, elementary teacher and head of curriculum and assessment in the Douglas County School District. She has an education specialty degree in administrative leadership and policy studies from the University of Colorado, Denver; a master’s in curriculum and instruction and an undergraduate degree from Lewis & Clark College in Oregon. Her experience includes 13 years teaching and 11 years in administration. Bauman served as the District’s interim superintendent since the retirement of John Borman last December. It was Bauman’s second term on an interim basis. He also previously served as the regular fulltime superintendent. “Ted told us this is it for him,” Brofft said with a smile. “We have to get along without him from here on out.” Bauman was instrumental in getting Brofft up to speed in her new role. She made it a point to come down from Englewood and work with Bauman at least once a week after she was hired by District 38. “Ted was phenomenal,” Brofft said. “I tried to get to as many things as I could. “The time with Ted was definitely helpful. He took time to introduce me to people and I had a great opportunity to cultivate some relationships.” Brofft bought a home in Monument earlier this month and plans on becoming entrenched in the community.

We want to go over what was learned and how we can improve in the future.” The Black Forest Fire Long Range Recovery Planning Committee met regularly for about a year, covering a wide variety of topics and addressing many concerns as the Black Forest community began the process of rebuilding after the catastrophic fire last year.

Construction traffic increasing as crews widen I-25 Staff report Crews are in the final stage of completing the third southbound traffic lane between State Highway 105 in Monument and North Gate Boulevard. In the days leading up to the July 4 holiday weekend, drivers can expect to see increased heavy equipment traffic in and near the work zone, which is currently behind concrete barrier. The increased construction traffic is supporting efforts by workers to complete the third lane by July 4. To help in the effort to complete the lane by the holiday, crews are expected to add two shifts in the coming week, includ-
ing June 22 and June 28. While some of the work will be accomplished behind the barrier and will not involve lane closures, drivers need to stay alert for equipment entering and exiting the work zone. As always, this work is subject to weather and road conditions. Drivers will see increased daytime single-lane closures on northbound and southbound Interstate 25 near Woodmen Road and Interquest Parkway for work associated with the new guardrail installation. Traffic delays may result from the lane closures. Sign installation will continue Sunday through Wednesday nights through-

out the I-25 work zone. Nighttime double lane closures will be necessary to erect the sign supports and single lane closures and “rolling closures” will be used as signs are placed on the new supports. Those closures begin at 8:30 each night and work will be complete by 5:30 the next morning. Drivers should be aware that preliminary paving work continues in various locations along the interstate. That work, which includes work on both northbound and southbound lanes, is scheduled to continue for several more days. It is being done at night to minimize traffic impacts, but drivers are reminded that there will be multiple lane closures and speed limits

Not so clear or simplified, but important It became clear to me. Simplified. Like the Navajo woman staring out to the west in a R.C. Gorman painting. It is not what you say that is important. How do you say it? The woman, of course, like most of Gorman’s paintings, has big feet and hands, abnormally so, as she stares off the page. An inverted sphere, or bowl, describes the light to me. A faint shadow, back on the unseen wall behind her jetblack hair, fills in the detail. The geometric design on the bowl reminds me that not all of life is a circle.

Olympian Brown still doing his thing at sports center I recently stopped by the Colorado Sports Center in Monument to check in on American men’s figure skating phenom Jason Brown. Brown, as you might recall, took much of the ice skating world by storm during the Sochi, Russia, Winter Olympic Games last February. The exuberant teenager finished ninth overall, bettering fellow American and local icon Jeremy Abbott by a few spots. Brown, as many Tribune readers are already aware, came to the Tri-Lakes area last year to train at the Colorado Sports

Garrison. I caught up with Brown shortly after he finished six hours of practice on the ice.

The meditation theme will be “How Many Loaves Do You Have?” ••• News from the Sheriff’s department: A man picked up a hitchhiker and was robbed at gunpoint of $7 and his 1966 car. There are no suspects in the case. A young man was found intoxicated and passed out on the shoulder of Highway 83. He had been picked up by two other youths and taken to his car. His car was locked so he passed out on the shoulder and was later arrested. An officer arrived on the scene obtained the keys and found one empty wine bottle and a six-pack of 6 percent beer in the car. He was charged with illegal possession of 6 percent beer; a bag of bullets was found in the cemetery and is in the lost and found department. Mischief makers were out again this week: A Ponderosa Hills homeowner reported that someone turned on all their outside faucets, turned their animals loose and dumped out all the animals’ food; at Chatfield Estates, a home was decorated with obscene words; tires were slashed on a car at Beverly Hills exit on Interstate 25.

Now what was that? As I read an old Cripple Creek newspaper, the headline really caught my attention. George Brewer, alias George Brown, 70, said at the time of the Civil War to have been a wealthy plantation man of the South, was caught between a moving gondola car and a coal chute in the Midland Terminal yards in Cripple Creek yesterday afternoon at 12:30 and was instantly killed. Brewer was out on the track gathering coal. He stepped in front of the railroad coal chute and seeing coal on the ground he crawled between the chute and the gondola car and was at work gathering the coal in his sack when the accident occurred. I.E Kennison and H. Gregory had just finished unloading a car of coal at the Colorado Trading and Transfer building and had gone a short distance above the chute to move down another car of coal which they were preparing to unload. They started the second car down the track and it bumped into the car behind where Brewer was gathering coal. Both cars were set in motion by the jar and Brewer was crushed. Brewer lived in a cabin near the Short
Line depot. Coroner Hamilton searched the cabin for clues to his family, but there was not a scratch of paper to be found that would lead to his relatives. He lived in seclusion. He had served number of terms in the county jail for stealing coal from the Colorado Trading and Transfer Co., the railroad company and private residences. It was by stealing coal that he made his living. Brewer came here from Leadville about 10 years ago, and it was said he had the same habit there. So there were many types of rustlers. We hear about cattle rustlers, but a coal rustler. In the camp those who stole ore were called “high graders.” I guess coal high grading does not quite fit. I looked in older Leadville newspapers, and indeed, there were stories about coal rustlers, but I did not find his name.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor: I love my children, but that doesn’t mean that I want to move in with one of them because of rising healthcare costs. Congress took $200 billion from Medicare Advantage in 2010, and this directly affected millions of seniors and disabled individuals. Our members of Congress must protect this vital program from any further cuts. Moving forward, it would be nice

school (in Highland Park, Ill.). It was so loud. The band was playing and the place was packed. I got the key to the city and they made this big montage and it was amazing. Oh yeah!” That same boyhood charm that the cameras captured of Brown during the U.S. Nationals and in Sochi is every bit as genuine as it appears. He is not afraid to speak what’s on his mind and genuinely loves training and performing. “I am now touring with Stars on Ice,” he said. “That’s been amazing and so much fun. “Also after the Olympics I got to be on the Today Show. It was so exciting just to
for participating insurers to have enough funding where they could offer long-term care as part of the Advantage plans. Because I am quite disabled right now, I’m using a lot of the new healthcare-related services. Although I have AARP Medicare Complete Plus, I require long-term care. Fortunately, I took out insurance when my husband died, and this coverage provides me with many of the services
I need. Others on Advantage plans don’t have that option, and due to the continued loss of funding, some are being forced off their plans, losing their doctors, and/or paying higher out-of-pocket costs. I had a career in nursing, and my late husband also worked hard. We faithfully paid into the Medicare system with the expectation that we would receive its benefits. Now, due to the past budget cuts,
people in my position are facing new challenges with respect to healthcare. Seniors living on fixed incomes cannot afford the cost increases that result from reduced governmental funding. Congress must avoid further cuts to Medicare Advantage and should instead work to increase funding for this all-important program. Sincerely, Katheryn Reuteler Monument
“Captured by the Indians.” “My father began talking to the foremost Indians,” she wrote. “My brother has told me that father asked them to take all his property but to let him and his family go. But the Indian replied in the Sioux language, ‘Sioux cheche,’ (the Sioux are bad.) He then leveled his double barreled shot gun and fired both barrels at him. He dropped the baby —she was killed — and running a few yards down the hill, fell on his face, dead. The same Indian then went to where my mother had sat down beside a stone with little Caroline in her lap, reloaded his gun and deliberately fired upon them both. She did not speak or utter a sound, but fell over dead. Caroline gave one little scream and a gasp or two, and
all was over with her. The cry rang in my ears for years afterward. My father was 33 and my mother 30 years of age, when they were so cruelly murdered by the Indians.” After witnessing the murder of her parents, my great-grandmother was captured by the same band of Sioux, and then finally liberated 10 weeks later. Even so, she seemed to hold no grudge. She later worked as a cook on the Rosebud Sioux reservation at the Indian agency. My granddad Owen, grew up there. Though, in those days, they didn’t give you much time to grow up. He worked as a cowboy with a cattle outfit moving herds from the Dakotas to Arizona with the seasons, from age 12, until a horse threw him and he broke his leg. He later
homesteaded here in Colorado. He didn’t say much but when he did, I remember him being able to converse in English, Sioux, German, Galic, a bit of Ute and little Navajo. Growing up and Southwestern Colorado, I had some experiences myself with Navajo, Ute, Hopi and the Pueblos of New Mexico. I saw a measure of racism toward native Americans. Things that were just not fair, not right. It is what you say, that is important. But how do you say it? It’s not really so easy to articulate. The lines are both straight, and yet, curve. An intended, programed, planned softening. Elegant, but not so simple.
be there and be a part of that. And to talk with Matt Lauer in Rockefeller (Center) was amazing. It was like `How is this happening? It is just so crazy.’” Brown’s post-Olympic tour also took him to the White House, where he got to meet President Barrack Obama and the First Lady, Michelle. “That was beyond surreal,” Brown said. “I am one of those people who get really star-struck, but generally I won’t freeze up when they’re talking to me. But when he started talking to me I started to shake and I froze. I didn’t respond for like five seconds. I was totally caught off guard. I was just so shocked that it hit me that I was talking to the President of the United States.” Brown has no plans to call an end his skating career anytime soon. In fact, he is aiming for a spot on the 2018 U.S. team
that will compete in Pyeongchang, South Korea. “That seems like so far away right now,” Brown said. “But it will be here before we know it. “Of course I am thinking about it, but there is so much that will happen in the next four years. I look back at how far I’ve come in the last four years and it’s overwhelming.” Brown spends much of his waking hours at the Sports Center. “I’m still training here six days a week when I’m in town. I work with kids and teach classes here. It’s just so much fun. I love working with kids more than anything.” A typical off-season day for Brown means arriving at the Sports Center around 9 a.m. and skating until 3 or 4 in the afternoon. He then works out with his
personal trainer. All the while, autograph seekers gush at the opportunity to get his signature and speak with him - if only for a few seconds. Brown also spends a lot of time working out at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in downtown Colorado Springs. His busy schedule means that he is only able to attend UCCS on a part-time basis. He is majoring in Japanese and English. He is hoping to fit in a summer class. Brown hopes to remain at the top of his skating game by competing at the U.S. Nationals and Worlds, and his time with Stars on Ice. He plans on keeping his training site at the Colorado Sports Center. “This is home for me and I absolutely love it,” he said. And I am thrilled that Jason Brown has decided to call the Tri-Lakes area his home away from home.

AFA grad founds ethical garment factory in Nepal Employs formerly-exploited workers and hopes to make a difference By Rob Carrigan
rcarrigan@coloradocommunitymedia.com
L
ocal Lewis-Palmer High School standout goes to the U.S. Air Force Academy. Graduation, and then a masters degree from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and seven years in the Air Force, bringing it back around to a teaching stint at the Academy. Then what should Corban Bryant do? He said, he prayed about it. He wanted to make a difference. Bryant, founded an ethical garment manufacturing company in Nepal, that employs 18 formerly-exploited workers, and he has plans to at least double the factory size quickly. He promises a living wage, which is not much in Nepal, and a chance for his workers to heal from personal histories of modern slavery, sex trafficking, and other dehumanizing expoitation. Maybe there is also an opportunity for education. “We did want to do something that makes a difference,” Bryant said of his, and his wife’s quest (along with a Canadian couple they are working with) to empower fellow young people, that may not have had the same opportunities. Bryant launched a Kickstarter campaign in May to promote the company’s first fashion line and expand employee benefits. Five days later, online backers had donated more than $11,000 to Bryant’s company, Purnaa, and its efforts to employ survivors of human trafficking and other forms of exploitation. He started Purnaa to promote the well being of those who had fallen victim to exploitative practices common in Nepal and the surrounding area. Purnaa is also designing a line of clothing for Beautiful and Beloved, a local fair trade shop that opened this year in Palmer Lake and is owned by amber Nowl. He counts power outages, cultural differences, and communications issues as just some of his challenges, but credits a ‘can do’ attitude developed as a squadron commander and seven years of training in operations research, and his faith, as strong foundation from which to build on. In addition to a living wage, health care costs and training and education, Purnaa hopes to offer its workers child care and scholarships for its employees’ children if its Kickstarter campaign
generates enough money to launch programs. Bryant says that though the company is Christian, it is a service mission and the company empoys Buddhists, Muslims, Hindu, all without an evangelical empahsis. After registering the business in July, , Bryant and his team tasked two groups of students at Colorado College and the Air Force Academy with a mission to conduct market research to gauge consumer interest in ethically produced goods. “We wanted to find further-reaching evidence of who would be potential buyers of Purnaa products,” said McCall Sears, an academy researcher who graduated in May. The academy students summarized the findings of a 2012 experiment conducted by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that placed jeans touting “sustainable” labels in more than 400 Gap retail stores. The labels increased jeans sales among women by 8 percent . The same researchers also found that a Fair Trade label increased grocery store sales of two popular coffee brands by about 10 percent, even when those brands cost up to 8 percent more than the nonlabeled brands. . Both MIT studies acknowledge that products sourced using sustainable and ethical methods claim only a small share of the U.S. market, but demand is increasing. Bryant and his team hired five employees and a master tailor in late November and began manufacturing the day after Christmas. Since then, the number of employees has grown to 18, and Bryant said he plans to hire as many as 10 new trainees every quarter . Purnaa now produces products for outlets in United States, Europe and online. The product line includes scarves, T-shirts and bags, some of which use repurposed Sari material. Purnaa isn’t profitable yet, but Bryant said the company is close to breaking even on a monthto-month basis. Purnaa employees are paid with company revenue, and Bryant and his team fundraise their salaries through Youth with a Mission, a nondenominational Christian organization that sponsors humanitarian and missionary efforts throughout the world. Though Purnaa met the baseline goal of its Kickstarter campaign weeks ago, it is still aiming for its stretch goal of $50,000 to launch the company’s online store and establish child care and scholarship programs for its employees. The campaign will continue until July 21.
Newberry offers other merchandise from other manufacturing concerns both online and in her store.
Corban Bryant, USAFA grad from Tri-Lakes area and Amber Newberry in her shop in Palmer Lake, are working to build a market for previously exploited workers in Nepal, and elsewhere.

On the night of Sept. 13, 1814, late in the war of 1812, Francis Scott Key, imprisoned on the deck of a British ship in Baltimore harbor, watched while the British bombarded Ft. McHenry. By the light of the “bombs bursting in air,” he observed that the American “flag was still there” and was inspired to write the words for a poem that was to become the national anthem, “The Star Spangled Banner.” In observance of the 200th anniversary of Key’s inspired writing, the theme of the Tri-Lakes Fourth of July celebration is Proudly We Hail. This theme headlines all the events of the celebration, bringing together fun and festivities with one com-

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Don’t be surprised if you experience a sudden spurt of energy strong enough to pull you out of that recent period of indecision and put you back in charge of your own goals. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) This is a good time for Leos and Leonas to set new goals regarding health, educational choices and possible career moves. The plans you make now could be a blueprint for your future. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) You might have much to offer a potential employer, but it can all be overwhelmed by too many details. Let the facts about you speak for themselves without any embellishments.

Be prepared to take advantage of an unexpected new opportunity. SAGITTARIUS (nov 22 to Dec 21) You’d be a truly wise Sagittarius to be skeptical about an offer that doesn’t answer all your questions. Even a colleague’s testimonial doesn’t replace facts that aren’t there. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) It’s a good idea to avoid spending on unnecessary purchases this week in order to keep a money reserve against a possible upcoming (but, fortunately, temporary) shortfall. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) More information is what you should demand regarding that workplace situation that recently came to light. Don’t be surprised at who might turn up as one of your supporters. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) You might still be in a “treading water” mode, but by midweek, a shift in your aspect favors taking a more active role in pushing for the changes you feel are necessary.

Smith hopes to lead Team USA to Gold in Guatemala Lewis-Palmer senior Alexa Smith makes national volleyball team for second straight year By Danny Summers
dsummers@colorado communitymedia.com Since her freshmen year, Alexa Smith has been among the best high school volleyball players in Colorado. She has led Lewis-Palmer to back-toback appearances in the Class 4A state championship match. The Rangers won it all last fall. The accolades continue to come for the soon-to-be senior, who has been selected to play for the U.S. U-20 junior national team for the NORCECA (North and Central America and the Caribbean) volleyball championship July 6-14 in Guatemala. Smith is one of 12 players on the team, which was selected in May. “This is a group of talented and hungry athletes,” said head coach Tom Hogan. “They bring to the table a wide variety of backgrounds, international experience and expertise, and each will play an important part in contributing to the team. Our entire staff is honored to work with this talented group. We’ll work hard and we’ll work smart, and we look forward to representing our country with pride.” This is not Smith’s first international rodeo, however. She made Team USA as an outside hitter in summer of 2013. The U-18 national team played in the world championships in Thailand last summer as she helped the Americans to a silver medal. “Alexa is just a phenomenal athlete and one of those athletes you probably get to coach once in a lifetime,” said Lewis-Palm-
Lewis-Palmer senior Alexa Smith will play volleyball for the U.S. U20 junior national team for the NORCECA (North and Central America and the Caribbean) volleyball championship July 6-14 in Guatemala. File photo er coach Susan Odenbaugh. “I count my blessings every day. It’s very special to have somebody like that in our program.” Smith, who has already committed to Big10 power Purdue, will refocus her attention on helping Lewis-Palmer defend its state title upon her return from Central America. But for now, helping Team USA to
a Gold medal is mission No. 1. The team roster, many of whom have matriculated up through the USA Volleyball High Performance program, has nine carryovers from last year’s U-18 national team. Before leaving for Guatemala, this year’s national team will train in Minneapolis
from June 29 through July 4. Smith plays club volleyball for Monument-based Colorado Juniors. She attended The Classical Academy through the eighth grade before transferring to LewisPalmer. The only other Colorado player on Team USA is Eaglecrest’s Jordyn Poulter.
Cool off at the Colorado Sports Center this summer Two ice hockey rinks are home to over 1,000 skaters By Danny Summers
dsummers@colorado communitymedia.com If you’re looking to find a cool spot to chill out this summer you may want to check out the icy surroundings of the Colorado Sports Center. Located in Monument, the Sports Center’s ownership team of Andrew Sherman, Michael Neppl and Harold Jordan, as well as a devoted staff and crew, continue to guarantee patrons of quality time on two full-size sheets of ice. “We had an opportunity to expand the property to 17 acres once we made the initial purchase of seven acres and 55,000 square-feet of buildings in 2012,” Sherman
said. “It really gives us a great opportunity to make this a full-service sports complex for the community.” The ownership’s vision includes building an outside soccer and lacrosse complex that could be used by area high school teams, as well as youth and adult groups in the Tri-Lakes region and beyond. “Michael has already got part of the land created and prepared for a turf field and lights so we can have a place for teams to practice and play,” Sherman said. “And we want to continue to develop our two ice rinks.” When the ownership group purchased the two buildings and land, the second building (or back building) was fitted with artificial turf and used for a variety of sports. All of that was replaced with a nice sheet of ice that is now used for hockey and figure skaters - like Jason Brown, who finished ninth overall at last February’s Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.
“Jason Brown is trying to be better today than he was yesterday, and that’s sort of the philosophy we have,” Sherman said. The current ownership group has been involved with the Sports Center dating back more than a decade when the buildings housed incline skating. That surface was replaced in the main building in 2006 - the same year that Lewis-Palmer High School began its hockey program. The team now also has players from nearby Palmer Ridge High School. It was also during that time that the highly successful youth Rampage hockey program began as a tenant. The Rampage has produced numerous Division I players over the years, as well as several professionals. “We just want people to know we are here and trying to make this place better every day,” Sherman said. “The better we can make it the more opportunities for local families to take advantage of it.”
The facilities are heated with propane, but Neppl is taking the necessary steps to convert to natural gas. “We also want to create a lobby between the two buildings,” Neppl said. “We’re hoping to get that done this summer.” Neppl added that the enclosed lobby could run as much as $300,000. “The whole look will have a little more curb appeal,” Sherman said. Long-time NHL defenseman Al Pederson is in charge of running the youth and adult hockey programs. Pederson oversees 36 adult teams and dozens of youth squads. “We have probably more than 1,000 hockey players skating here,” Neppl said. Pederson is not one to publicize the fact that he skated in two Stanley Cup Finals series. “Al is a humble, hard-working guy that is very loyal and we grateful that we have a relationship with him.”
TV ads unique to Pikes Peak region planned for NBC’s Pro Cycle Challenge coverage Spots will air during the August event By Danny Summers
dsummers@colorado communitymedia.com The Colorado Springs Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB) has contracted with Windstar Studios, Inc. to produce a 30-second commercial that will air on two NBC broadcast channels as well as online during the 2014 USA Pro Challenge, which takes place Aug. 18-24. The 30-second spot will highlight Colorado Springs and the Pikes Peak region as a year-round leisure destination for family
fun and outdoor adventure, according to Chelsea Murphy, a spokesperson for the CVB. “Having lived and worked in Colorado Springs for 30 years, we are honored to create a commercial that captures the beauty and lifestyle of (the area),” said Dane Scott, President of Windstar Studios, Inc. The commercial production and media package was partially funded by the City of Colorado Springs from the Lodgers & Automobile Rental Tax, also known as LART ($43,000), with the CVB and The Colorado Springs Sports Corporation providing the balance. The television portion of the package includes two 30-second commercial units on NBC Sports Network daily, Aug 18-24;

Pikes Peak Hill Climb set for June 29 dsummers@colorado communitymedia.com What began in 1916 as a promotion to attract attention to Spencer Penrose’s rocky road up to the top of Pikes Peak, has turned into a truly international automobile and motorcycle race. The Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb (PPIHC) is a long-standing tradition in the region and the second oldest motor sports event in the United States. Only the famed Indianapolis 500 (began in 1911) has a longer tradition. This year’s event takes place on June 29 and will bring together many of the top drivers from France, Japan, New Zealand, and a host of other countries. This year marks the 92nd running of the “Race to the Clouds” and the 98th anniversary of the historic event. The June 27 Fan Fest is estimated to bring together 35,000 race fans in downtown Colorado Springs for an up close and personal look at the drivers and their cars and motorcycles. Sunday’s race up “America’s Mountain” will feature more than 150 turns on the 12.42-mile fully paved course. The 2012 event was the first time the course was paved from the starting point (9,390 feet) to the summit (14,115 feet). Research suggests that as the drivers climb toward the summit, the thin air
paved. Tajima surprised race veterans in 2011 by switching to the Electric Modified Division, highlighting the sudden popularity of the Electrics, autos and bikes. Though a fire sidelined his dream in 2012, he piloted his 2013 E-Runner Pikes Peak Special to a new record of 9.46.530. But the big story last year was Sebastien Loeb’s jaw-dropping time of 8:13.878 in his Peugeot 208 T16 Pikes Peak. Romain Dumas, a French driver who lives in Basil, Switzerland, turned in a then-record time of 9:46.181 in the Pikes Peak Open Division in 2012; The former 24 Hours of Le Mans winner, was bested later that afternoon. Among the American drivers to watch is Woodland Park’s own Clint Vahsholtz, who has won more titles than any driver in Hill Climb history. Vahsholtz’s car is sponsored by the Cripple Creek and Victor Gold Mining Company. Clint’s son, Codie, won his first title in the motorcycle division in 2013. The Vahsholtz’ family has a record 40 titles to its credit. Also on hand will be Dallenbach of Basalt, who has seven triumphs to his credit over 20 attempts on Pikes Peak, including the Time Attack Championship in 2013 when he broke the 10-minute barrier in 9:46.001. Then there is 66-year old Randy Schranz of Colorado Springs, who will be competing on the Peak for the astounding 40th time. Randy won the Pikes Peak Open division in 2011 and 2013. His son Layne is also entered once again. There are 17 international auto drivers
There are other ways to experience the thrill of the Hill Climb Radio and Internet offer options dsummers@colorado communitymedia.com The best way to experience the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is to make your way up the mountain in person. But if you can’t do that, at least you can listen to the event on radio and watch a live stream of the event on the Internet.

fessionals and race experts will bring the race to a worldwide radio audience. The race on America’s mountain is one of the most difficult broadcasts on the globe and will be covered from three strategic locations, the start line, 16-mile, and the summit 14,115 feet above sea level, plus race recaps throughout the day from the KRDO news center. On the microphones this year are veteran Paul Richards, Don Sanborn, Dave Rose, John Howe, Ken Landau, Jeffrey Orman, and Jonathan Petramala. A new feature will include the use of a speed gun handled by Robert Scott at the Halfway Picnic Ground, where he will be able to relay times and speed to Dave Rose and others at
entered among the 74-car field and 23 international motorcycle racers in a field of 71 bikes. Organizers of the race have gone to great lengths to proactively ramp up safety for spectators and competitors. New spectator regulations will be put into place this year that will limit viewing to six locations on the course. In contrast to all previous PPIHCs where fans roamed at will, sometimes actually crossing the race course, fans will be limited to about a mile and a half of viewing territory. Once fans are in place in one of the six designated viewing spots, they will not be allowed to move elsewhere, as in the past. Race organizers have placed 1,000 hay bales on the course, compared to 375 last year. And this year’s race will have 13,030 feet of protective fencing, compared to 4,140 last year. “We anticipate some pushback from people who have gone up there for many years and have their favorite spot,” said Tom Osborne, the race’s CEO. “Losing the 98-year-old race would be a large blow to the community.” An economic study after last year’s Hill Climb found that the race generated 20,800 out-of-town visitor nights in Colorado Springs, $6.6 million in direct sales by local businesses and more than $500,000 in sales and lodging taxes. “It’s up to the organizers of the race and the board of directors, to make sure of the safety of the race for the riders and drivers,” Osborne said. “If it’s a little inconvenience to the spectators we apologize, but if we don’t do this it’s shame on us.”

slows reflexes and saps muscle strength in addition to robbing internal combustion engines of up to 30 percent of the power they were capable of at the start line. Competitors and vehicles must be in top shape and condition simply to finish, let alone win. This year’s race features five divisions and seven classes of motorcycles/ quads, and four divisions and eight classes of cars/trucks. The first Hill Climb race was on Aug. 10, 1916, featuring Barney Oldfield and Eddie Rickenbacker, who raced automobiles to help promote a new highway to the top of a Colorado mountain. The first running of the Hill Climb was promoted by regional icon Spencer Penrose, who had finished widening the narrow carriage road into a much wider “Pikes Peak Highway.” The race was an idea to encourage tourism. To further encourage competition, Penrose offered a 43-inch trophy covered in Colorado silver and gold, valued at $10,000. The winners could keep the trophy for a year. Over the years, the race has somehow managed to attract a combination of versatile drivers and racers from around the world. The list of champions includes famed competitors like the Unser family, Mario Andretti, Roger and Rick Mears, Paul Dallendbach, Eddie Mulder, and Bobby and David Donner. In recent years the list of international drivers has grown to include Japan’s Nobuhiro “Monster” Tajima, who won the Unlimited Division nine times. He was the first driver ever to crack the 10-minute barrier, when he eclipsed the mark in 2011 - the last year before the course was fully

Privileges of subscribing to the 2014 Hill Climb media portal will provide fans with exclusive access to many of the rare videos that have been archived throughout the history of the event. Additionally, subscribers will also be able to watch the live Internet broadcast.

Baby Boomers May Avoid Knee Surgery With Modern Arthritis Treatments

That’s why, “We all know that countless lives if you have knee pain, you should have are being saved every year because of it evaluated by a doctor who deals with early detection and better treatment of and treats knee pain every day,” stated cancer,” one of the physicians at Osteo the clinics director of services.

And the Doctors believe one of the most important factors for the success of viscosupplementation is making sure you are getting it into the joint space. That’s why the doctors at Osteo Relief Institute use advanced imaging technology called a “C-Arm.” A C-Arm allows the doctor to see into the joint and actually watch the injection go where it is supposed to. Research shows that performing injections without digital imaging can result in missing the joint space as much as 30% of the time. If you had viscosupplementation treatments without advanced imagining and did not get good results this may be why. “If you have knee arthritis pain,

viscosupplementation might be the answer you are looking for. The keys are to not wait, get a good evaluation from an expert and make sure advanced digital imaging (C-Arm) is used to make sure you have the best chance for success.” was the advice of the doctors at the Osteo Relief Institute.
Free Knee Pain Screenings Offered To Help Determine If Colorado Springs Area Residents Qualify For Popular Treatment El Paso County area knee pain sufferers have limited time to claim knee pain screening to see if all-natural knee arthritis treatment might work for them
If you qualify for this treatment, it might be one of the happiest days of your life. That’s because, this year, hundreds of knee pain sufferers have flocked to Osteo Relief Institute located in Colorado Springs, Colorado. That’s when their specially trained doctors added Hyalgan treatments to their already successful and comprehensive knee pain relief program. Hyalgan is unique because - even though it is manufactured by a pharmaceutical company, it is in NOT considered a drug because it is a natural substance with an incredible story. Why So Many Want It You see, when you suffer with arthritis - the lubricating fluid (synovial fluid) in your knee joint dries up. This means instead of gliding smoothly - your bones start to rub and grind against each other. This causes a little pain in the beginning - but over time the pain steadily gets worse until it is excruciating. Like “Joint Oil” Hyalgan works so well because it is like “joint oil.” It is a natural substance that contains one of the natural building blocks of the synovial fluid that lubricates your knee. Scientists and researchers discovered this natural building block to synovial fluid in the rooster’s comb - that big red thing on top of the roosters head. It is extracted from the roosters comb, purified and concentrated. When it is injected directly into your knee joint, it is like squirting oil on a rusty door hinge. Hyalgan allows your joints to glide more smoothly eliminating a lot of the rubbing, grinding and pain. Can Supplements Do The Same Thing? No. Glucosamine and chondroitin and other supplements are much different. You can only get this from a doctor and it often helps knee pain sufferers who got limited or no success from
Everyone Wants Proof: In the artist simulated drawings above, picture #1 is a normal, pain-free knee. There is no arthritis and the knee can move and bend freely without pain
glucosamine and chondroitin. Beware of unsubstantiated claims made by supplements that claim to do what this advanced medical procedure does. Why You Should Try This Even If You’ve Already Had Similar Treatments Without results... “We have been able to help so many knee pain sufferers - even many who have already tried other injections like Synvisc, Supartz, Orthovisc and even Hyalgan. We use special and very advanced low-dose video fluoroscopy imaging called “Hologic Digital Imaging” so we can see right into the joint. This allows us to put the Hyaglan exactly where is needs to be. Studies show doctors doing joint injections without fluoroscopy miss the joint up to 30% of the time.” said the head of Arthritis Treatment at Osteo Relief Institute. Osteo Relief Institute is a state of the art medical facility offering only the best technology.
