An initiative proposing to protect 30,000 acres in nearby Rampart Range met with animated resistance Tuesday, May 20, as members of the Colorado Mountian Club explained their efforts in front of standingroom only crowd at Palmer Lake City Hall. “The crowd seemed to be mostly from the motorized community and they are very knowledgeable and passionate about the Rampart Range. They asked good questions but over the course of the meeting their concerns became the focus of the meeting to the exclusion of other opinions. Some local residents and other with different opinions felt overwhelmed by the audience and therefore did not speak up,” said Phil Kummer from Colorado Mountain Club. When asked if he was surprised by the reaction: “I was surprised that the motorized community came out in such numbers.” George Pennington, a Palmer Lake resident attending the meeting, said he feared that the proposal “threatens to restrict our access if they turn it into wilderness,” and described the efforts as “allowing the camel’s nose under the tent.” Suggesting that efforts would lead to even greater restrictions. “Soon, the entire camel is in.” Kummer says it doesn’t really change their overall efforts. “The Rampart Range Wildlands Project will continue to seek other partners and stakeholders in order to better manage and protect the Rampart East area. That includes the motorized community, mountain bikers, local residents, and hikers. We will endeavor to to communicate better and be better prepared to work with other groups so that they too can achieve their goals concerning that general area. We will continue to recreate in the Rampart East area.” For the future: “We will be conducting a BioBlitz with numerous local scientists and volunteers in June to ascertain what kind of threatened, sensitive or endangered species, both plant and animal, are in the Rampart East,” Kummer said.

Maketa accused of sex with subordinates Staff report El Paso County Sheriff Terry Maketa has been accused of sex with subordinates, abusive treatment of employees and dismantling oversight of the office budget according to a report in the Colorado Springs Gazette by reporter Dave Phillips on Friday. “Maketa allegedly has had sexual relationships with three female subordinates for years, traveling with them using public
funds, promoting them to top jobs despite objections from commanders and threatening anyone he suspected of mentioning the relationships, according to interviews and documents obtained by The Gazette.” Maketa The paper says the allegations came from a seven-page complaint by three of his commanders that rebukes Ma-
Police make an arrest in ‘Red Truck’ case Staff report An arrest has been made in the red truck solicitation cases. On May 22, 2014, at 4:30 p.m. officers from the Colorado Springs Police Department contacted a suspect in the red truck solicitation case at Academy Blvd. and Shrider Road. Duston S. Ridner, 43, a white male, was subsequently arrested for Obscenity, a class 6 felony, Attempted Indecent Exposure, a class 2 misdemeanor and Soliciting for Prostitution, a class 3 misdemeanor. Ridner is a Colorado Springs resident. This investigation started on April 28, when the suspect in a red truck approached a victim and offered her $100 to watch him masturbate. Eight juvenile and five adult female victims have been identified. Detectives with the Special Victims Unit, Crimes Against Children are continu-
ing to investigate this case. A photograph of the suspect will not be released at this time because of follow up being conducted by the detectives. Colorado Springs police have released new details about a suspect they have been looking for since April. There have been 10 incidents of a man in a red or maroon pickup truck approaching girls aged 12-22. A recent incident occurred May 19, near Chapel Hills Mall. According to CSPD, law enforcement officers they were looking for a Ford pickup with gold accents and detailing. It is deep red or maroon in color with a silver, metal grill. Sightings were also reported on Austin Bluffs Parkway. According to police, no girls have been harmed in any of the encounters. Local media agencies are closely following these incidents and may have updated details.
keta’s term in office, accusing him of repeated sexual impropriety, discrimination, creating a hostile work environment, violating the civil rights of those who work in the Sheriff’s Office, using intimidation to keep people quiet about his misdeeds and removing almost all oversight of the $60 million Sheriff’s Office annual budget. A May 12 complaint names three women alleged to have had sexual relationships with Maketa: his second in command, Under-
sheriff Paula Presley; the comptroller, Dorene Cardarelle; and the head of training for dispatchers, Tiffany Huntz. Maketa and the three women denied the allegations. “I have never had an inappropriate sexual relationship with the three individuals you named. If you publish anything to the contrary, I am fully prepared to take legal action,” Maketa said in an email to The Gazette, the papre reported.
Florida man convicted of stalking local school Man called more than 50 times, obscene, threatening messages recorded By Norma Engelberg Contributing writer
A Florida man who, in late 2012, made more than 50 obscene and threatening phone calls to the Monument Charter Academy and one of its teachers has been sentenced to serve three years on an aggravated stalking charge. According to a Santa Rosa’s Press Gazette article, phone records obtained by the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Department showed that Duane Scott Nancarrow, 47, called the academy at least 12 times. He also targeted
teacher Richard Hart, who was a friend of his ex-wife, calling him more than 40 times. One of Nancarrow’s calls came to the academy on Dec. 14, 2012, the day Adam Lanza, 20, shot and killed 20 children and six adult staff members at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. Nancarrow left a message saying: “You watch the TV and see what’s happening in Connecticut. That could happen there, too.” This triggered a lock-down at the school. El Paso County officials alerted officials in Nunca County, Fla., who learned that Nancarrow made the calls from Santa Rosa County. He was arrested on March 21, 2013, convicted on March 3 and sentenced on May 14. He is to serve out his sentence in a Florida State Prison.

Compliance can help with flood recovery Special to the Tribune As Coloradans learned in September 2013, heavy rains along the Front Range can lead to extensive flooding. And, as many people have learned, recovering from floods can be a difficult task. Now as the weather warms, state and federal officials are keeping a wary eye on snowmelt and the potential for spring rains. As part of their preparations, officials continue to urge flood insurance policyholders to make sure they understand what provisions are in their coverage. One part of the policy that might be especially important is the Increased Cost of Compliance.
National Flood Insurance Program policyholders who are rebuilding after 2013 flood may be eligible for up to $30,000 in ICC funds to cover the cost of bringing the home or business into compliance with local floodplain ordinances. ICC coverage is included as a part of the Standard Flood Insurance Policy. To be eligible for ICC coverage, the community floodplain administrator must determine that a building has been “substantially damaged,” or sustained “repetitive damage.” A building is considered to be substantially damaged when the total cost of repair equals or exceeds 50 percent of its pre-disaster market value. A building is considered to have sus-
tained repetitive damage when it has been damaged by floods twice over a period of 10 years, and the cost to repair the damage, on average, equals or exceeds 25 percent of its market value at the time of each flood event. This applies only if the participating community has a repetitive loss provision in their floodplain management ordinance, and an insurance claim payment is made for each of the two flood losses. To find out if your community has a repetitive loss provision, contact local officials or your insurance company. To make an ICC claim, owners may decide to • Elevate: Raise a home to or above the flood elevation level adopted by a community;
• Floodproof: Make a building watertight through a combination of adjustments or additions of features to the building that reduces the potential for flood damage; • Relocate: Move a home out of harm’s way; or • Demolish: Tear down a flood-damaged building. Claims for ICC benefits are filed separately from contents or building loss claims. A claims representative will be assigned to help prepare the ICC claim. For more information on flood insurance or ICC coverage, visit floodsmart.gov or call 1-888-379-9531. Remember that NFIP policies go into effect 30 days after purchase.
NEWS IN A HURRY County Line Road work beginning
El Paso County has awarded a $5.08 million contract to Rocky Mountain Materials and Asphalt for the reconstruction of County Line Road from Interstate 25 to Furrow Road. The project is funded by the Pikes Peak Rural Transportation Authority and is one of the “A” list projects approved by the voters in 2004. The construction project is being coordinated with Douglas County with most of the work done by the end of the year. A final layer of asphalt overlay in will be added in 2015. This project will provide major safety improvements along the corridor between I-25 and Furrow Road to include adding shoulders, gentling curves reducing the horizontal profile, improvements to drainage and the addition of turn lanes at key intersections. The intersection of County Line Road at Furrow Road will be widened and rebuilt. Construction of these critical improvements is anticipated to begin after the Memorial Day weekend. Traffic will be accommodated through the construction zones, but speed restrictions, narrower lanes, and delays should be anticipated. Whenever
possible, drivers are encouraged to use alternate routes. Project updates during construction will be posted to the El Paso County website at www.elpasoco.com
Culvert to be replaced on Shoup Road
Drivers concerned about traveling Shoup Road because of flash flooding will get relief from a project that will replace a culvert that has been prone to flash floods since last summer’s wildfire. El Paso County were to commence construction of the Shoup Road culvert replacement between Tia Lane and Glenridge Lane on May 27. The improvements are expected to be substantially complete by July 4. Shoup Road will be open for the majority of the construction with periodic lane closures and motorists should expect delays. Shoup Road is anticipated to be closed between Milam Road and Holmes Road from June 2 through 5. A detour along Burgess Road www.PeakValuesMagazine.com will be utilized during the closure period.

“Hear about defensible space guidelines, mitigation, and replacing flammable landscape plants, mulches, shingles and deck materials. See a video of the Black Forest Fire and what firefighters learned from it. Activities for kids will include climbing on the fire truck, learning how everything works and having their pictures taken with the Tri-Lakes Monument firefighters and their mascots, Smokey and Sparky,” says Eric Gross, Woodmoor Director of Forestry. “Spring has arrived with a number of red-flag wildfire warning days for us and wildfires raging in other states. It is time once again to turn our focus to what we may be able to
do to better prepare ourselves and our property for a possible disastrous wildfire event in our own backyard,” Gross said. “With wildfire trending north along the Front Range in the last few years, the need for emergency event community education and preparation is more critical than ever before in the densely populated areas of northeast El Paso County. Woodmoor, along with many of its neighboring communities in the Tri-Lakes area, has essentially the same fuel load as the Black Forest area devastated by wildfire last year. Wildfire risk does exist and preparation is essential to preserve life and property. Emergency preparedness is foremost in protecting life. Combine that preparation with efforts to create defensible space, reduce susceptibility of your home’s ignition, and reduce wildfire fuel load between homes and you not only re-

duce the risk to life and property but you give yourself more time to safely evacuate should the worse-case scenario occur,” Gross says. “As I’m sure you are aware, preparation, cannot be left to the last minute. The same is true of wildfire fuel mitigation. Mitigation is a community effort that must be done well in advance and maintained throughout the wildfire season. You’ve probably also heard that embers travel well in advance of the actual flame front and have caused the most home losses in recent wildfires. You may be surprised to learn that besides the obvious and expensive ways to protect you home from embers such as replacing your wood shake roof with tile or replacing your wood siding with stucco, there are many affordable and even “doit-yourself” options to reduce your home’s risk to embers.”

Telling tales and Butch’s first bank Back East, the story is usually some variation of “George Washington slept here.” In the Wild West, however, we seem to carry more respect for the violent and hardnosed. The best yarns usually have some element of “‘Butch’ and ‘Sundance’ robbed the train here,” or members of “the ‘Wild Bunch’ knocked off the bank over there,” or “this fellow was killed on the ‘Outlaw Trail’ while shooting at so-andso...” There is a metal plaque on the outside of the Mahr building at the corner of Pine and Main Streets in Telluride. It reads, simply, “Mahr Building. Site of the San Miguel Valley Bank. Butch Cassidy’s first bank robbery. June 24, 1889.” The bank building burnt down long ago, but stories are still being told about what transpired there one summer day shortly after noon, when three outlaws rode into to the mining town wearing “silver-studded bridles, spurs, saddles and artillery, five-gallon hats, red bandanas, flashy shirts, chaps and high-heeled cowboy boots,” according to an account by one of the men involved, Matt Warner. Warner took credit for having the idea to rob the bank. Both riders with a regional reputation for winning horse races, Warner said he approached his friend and fellow racer Butch Cassidy — and then, his own brother-in-law Tom McCarty. According to his version, Butch was
excited by the prospect, while Tom was more reluctant. After riding into town and up to the bank, Warner says he placed his gun under the teller’s nose, while Cassidy gathered the cash, and Tom McCarty held the horses outside. An account reported by a teller was slightly different, having one man coming into the bank, initially pretending to cash a check but then grabbing the teller by the neck, and then calling in his accomplices from outside. According to reports the haul was nearly $20,000. Perhaps because it was their first bank job, the inexperienced outlaws led the teller outside with his hands up, and in the process, alerted the entire town. After firing a few shots to back off the crowd, the three made a beeline out of town, eventually ending up in the mountains near Mancos. Running so fast that they left the fresh horses behind, they ran into one of their former employers, Harry
Adsit, who later helped the posse identify them and tell the pursuing group what direction they were headed. Interestingly enough, Telluride Town Marshall, Jim Clark later confessed to Gunnison County Sheriff to being involved — by not being involved. Clark reportedly told the Sheriff he received $2200 of the stolen money as payment for being out of town during the robbery and later acquired one of the horses used in the robbery. Certain accounts speculate that the two horse racing friends, and now, bank robbers, along with McCarty and perhaps additional accomplices, changed horses in the Cortez area (perhaps even at Longabaugh ranch south of Cortez, home of Harry Longabaugh’s father. Harry, (a.k.a. ‘The Sundance Kid”) would later befriend Cassidy and famously ride with the “Wild Bunch,” in Wyoming, Montana, Utah, Texas and New Mexico. One longtime resident of the area relates the following tale. “My grandparents were John and Clementa Sagrillo,” said Sandra Watkins a few years ago. “They had a place down around Lakeview. When Butch robbed the bank at Telluride the gang ended up in Mancos but Butch headed for his friends here in Cortez area, but it got dark and he had to stop. He ended up staying with my grandparents. I have a story written up in the family history that was told Aunt Jessie
by her mother, she is the oldest child to John,” Watkins said. “Grandpa was so impressed with Butch’s six shooter that when he could afford it, he bought one just like Butch’s. Butch told him that he and his gang had robbed the bank but, being new to this country, they kept their mouths shut. Grandma bragged that he liked her cooking and really liked polanta.” The bank robbery at Telluride is cited as a turning point in Warner and Cassidy’s career as outlaws, as the Adsit identification allowed them to no longer dabble in the outlaw business — they began running from the law full time. They are given credit for various criminal activities in that area near Telluride, and all over the Western United States in the years to come. Anecdotally, stories of them robbing the Rio Grande Southern train at Stoner, holing up in the Dunton area (one report has (Robert Leroy Parker’s initials, Butch’s given name, carved in the bar up there) and various deeds and misdeeds in the canyon country from Hole in the Wall, Brown’s Hole, Robber’s Roust, and all along the “Outlaw Trail” that connects them. From information about the only train robbery at Stoner Creek that I can find record of, it didn’t sound like them. But then again, that is another story. Undoubtedly some of the tales are true, and some are not.
First academy graduation was 55 years ago On June 3, 1959, the Air Force Academy celebrated its first graduation class. Of the 306 cadets who were appointed to the academy in 1955, 207 were commissioned four years later during a ceremony at Arnold Hall. The speaker was James H. Douglas, secretary of the Air Force. He also presented the diplomas. The academy side of that first class ring shows a traditional American eagle and shield, and the prop and wings symbol that is a major part of the academy. The class side shows a falcon and the four-pointed star. The graduation ceremony was moved indoors to Arnold Hall due to weather, but the theater could not accommodate all the guests. Many people who were forced to sit outside the theater were not happy campers. The Class of `59, of course, spent its first three years in temporary quarters

at Lowry Air Force Base in Aurora before moving 1,145 cadets into the academy’s permanent home in August 1958. Only a handful of buildings were completed at the time - a dormitory, the dining hall, an academic building, the main office building and Arnold Hall. The chapel and football stadium were a few years away from being built. Intercollegiate sports at the academy were a pretty big deal by 1959. Air Force played in the Cotton Bowl on New Year’s

Day 1959. The academy list of alumni and faculty is very impressive. According to the academy’s media relations department, the list includes more than 400 noted scholars from a variety of academic fields, including: 35 Rhodes Scholars, nine Marshall Scholars, 13 Harry S. Truman Scholars, 115 John F. Kennedy School of Government Scholars, and 31 Gearhart Scholars. The list includes additional notable graduates; 403 general officers, 164 graduates who were killed in combat, 36 repatriated prisoners of war, one Medal of Honor recipient, and two combat aces. A whopping 39 academy graduates have become astronauts, second among institutions of higher learning only to the Naval Academy’s 52. The academy was established April 1, 1954. It was the culmination of an idea that had been years in the making. After September 1947, when the Air
Force was established as a separate service, this idea finally had the legitimacy of the new service behind it. After Congress passed the bill establishing the Air Force Academy, the secretary of the Air Force appointed a commission to recommend a location. After traveling 21,000 miles and considering hundreds of sites all over the country, the commission recommended Colorado Springs as its first choice. Thousands of acres were purchased. The state of Colorado contributed $1 million to the purchase of the land. Today, the cadet wing is 4,000 strong. There will be over 1,000 graduates at this year’s ceremony. More than 40,000 cadets have graduated since 1959. You can watch a YouTube video of that first graduation class by going to www. youtube.com/watch?v=mx1fW3nBhc0. Up we go into the wild blue yonder and beyond.
An organized sport? One of the most exhilarating sports known in the west a hundred years ago was hunting Jack Rabbits! Such was the tale told in an 1887 newspaper story I recently read. This item told this tale of Easterners who had come to our area for a game hunt. By that time the buffalo was virtually hunted out, and I suppose this was seen as a likely sport. Imagine a set of racing greyhounds held on a leash, followed by a dozen or so hunters on horseback, starting out on a freezing winter morning when there is at least an inch of snow on the ground, to make tracking just a bit easier! The Jack Rabbit is unknown in the east, but this larger relative of the English Hare was seen as a pest to local residents. Many early settlers, as well as Indians hunted them for food. More than twice the size of the common “Cotton tail” it is a long legged runner. The hunters watch the snow for fresh tracks, or signs from the dogs.When the rabbit is spotted the dogs are let loose. The whole crowd follows after, whooping and yelling, urging their horses to top speed. The dogs let the rabbits run until it tires. The creature is an expert at dodging and sharp turns. Out on the prairies of the west, like here in Colorado, we have arroyos, rocks and rolling hills, the rabbits often has the advantage. Here are the
words of one of these hunters, “We were riding along the dry bed of an arroya, and were just coming around a mass of rocks. There, not twenty feet ahead was a big Jack, sitting up in front of a niche in the rocks. He saw us and was off like a white streak over the rocks.” Off go the hunters! “The country was hilly, and one minute we were galloping over a bluff and down a steep hill. Ahead another hill would hide the rabbit from view from the dogs for an instance. Up the hill we would rush and get a good view of the chase. The rabbit was a large one, tough and strong. He led the dogs on a merry chase.” this time the rabbit escaped, but they usually did not. I have learned in England they have outlawed the traditional Fox hunts you may have seen in movies. The rabbits, after a long chase must have been pretty tough, if they ate them.

Art quilting is uniquely American Patchwork quilting is a uniquely American process. Our pioneer ancestors were not only thrifty, but good at geometry! Their flair for colorful design is recognized world-wide as a uniquely American art form. Quilts from different parts of the country have different color schemes and designs. Many of these have been documented by the Quilt Studies program at the University of Nebraska. And they are kept alive by quilt guilds and quilt shops all over the country. Monument Quilter ,Kay Liggett, has been sewing since she was seven years old, but became a serious quilter when she discovered that she could draw, paint, and hammer on her quilts in addition to sewing them together. Quilting her drawings was very satisfying. Free motion quilting on the sewing machine came naturally to her, and her fascination with infilling a color composition puts her work in the art quilt category! Quilting takes study, work, and prac-
in her garden and the wornout boards on her backyard deck.

UPCOMING ART EVENTS
tice. Kay studied with art quilt teachers in Santa Fe at the Alegre Quilting Retreat 2003-2005. She took lessons to improve her drawings and studied paintings and architecture to improve the composition of her quilts. Judges in juried shows helped her learn the standards of craftsmanship in professional quilting. They were encouraging, and their advice was thoughtfully given. When you are a quilter, everything looks like a quilt! Kay has made quilts based on Google Earth, the Black Forest Fire, Kansas windmills, squash growing
work. Color and composition work from a distance, quilt stitches come into focus as you approach the work, and the need to touch a quilt is overwhelming. There are abstract quilts, representational quilts, three-dimensional work, painted, woven, and re-assembled quilts. Traditional quilting is alive and well in the Tri-Lakes area. There are guilds and associations to keep the social part of quilting alive. If you quilt alone, check out the Palmer Divide Quiltmakers (Library has contact info). The Quilts and Fine Woodworking Show at the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum was sponsored by the Colorado Quilt Council . Front Range Contemporary Quilters has good programs for non-traditional quilting. We have shows here at the Tri-Lakes Center for the Arts, and at the Monument Library. Quilts are art you can live with! They fit on the bed, the easy chair, in your lap, or on the wall. They are easy to store, and they don’t break when you drop them!
Time to pass baton to school leader My time serving as interim superintendent is about finished. In June, our new superintendent, Karen Brofft, will begin to lead this school district to new heights and endeavors. I would like to thank the community and school district administrators, teachers and staff for encouragement and support the last six months. Serving this school district has been a privilege and pleasure. I have had the opportunity to work with some of the finest educators in the country, and for that I am thankful. Plus, being able to serve students who are talented and eager to learn has been a joy. I would also like to thank the school board for their leadership. Each member
has provided me with insight, counsel, and opportunity. I applaud their resolution which sent a message to state officials that losing local control, requiring unfunded mandates, and continuing to force an onslaught of testing on our students
and staff are not productive. The board has bravely voted to pay off $3.7 million of Certificates of Participation. That saves the district $1.7 million of interest over time, thus allowing the district to keep $323,000 a year to use for the students in this community. This action effectively eliminates all long-term debt except for the building bonds previously approved by voters a number of years ago. The district’s reserves are at an appropriate and adequate level as the district moves forward. Leadership is a tough challenge! Decisions that are made will never be unanimously received. There will certainly be financial decisions regarding bonds and
mill levy overrides in the district’s future as we continue to see student growth and to meet the needs that student growth brings to a community. That is good for our community. It keeps us vital, provides synergy, and makes us work harder to keep the quality of life to which we have been accustomed. That can bring us together in many new ways. The pursuit of excellence is not easy, but the school district is on the cusp of greatness. With the help and support from this community, Karen Brofft will continue that pursuit with purpose and energy. Thank you, Ted Bauman, interim superintendent

School funding measures signed into law Hundreds of millions of dollars to fund programs, construction By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com In front of a group of school children who are just starting to grasp basic arithmetic, Gov. John Hickenlooper on May 21 signed into law a pair of complex, multimillion dollar school finance measures. The new laws will allow a state school finance system that was significantly strained by recession-era budget cuts to grow by nearly $500 million. The cash infusion will fund several areas of K-12 resources, including school construction and preschool, kindergarten and English language learner programs. “We’re trying to make sure that each one of you guys gets every single advan-
tage, every single chance, because your success is the future of this state,” Hickenlooper said during a bill signing that was held inside Aurora’s Ponderosa Elementary School. A major K-12 funding piece comes from the Student Success Act. The legislation provides $20 million for programs that target children who are struggling to read and $53 million for school construction in rural areas — the latter funding coming from Amendment 64-backed retail marijuana revenue. An additional $3 million will go toward financial transparency efforts that are aimed at allowing taxpayers to see how the new money is being reported and spent. The funding includes a $110 million buy down of the so-called “negative factor” — recession-era funding cuts that slashed about $1 billion from the state’s K-12 budget. The governor also signed into law the annual school finance act, which includes
$27 million for English language learner programs and funds an additional 5,000 seats in preschool and kindergarten classrooms. “This bill that the governor is about to sign will authorize 5,000 more kids next year going to publicly-funded, quality preschool programs than what was possible the year before,” said Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver, a bill sponsor. Additionally, per-pupil funding for next school year will jump to $7,021, a 5 percent increase. “That’s almost $400 for every one of you students,” Sen. Mike Johnston, D-Denver, told the children in the audience. “So imagine if you came through the doors this morning and we handed $400 to each one of you. It would be pretty good stuff.” The funding efforts that the Legislature passed this year were a response to last year’s failed Amendment 66 ballot measure, which sought to bolster school funding through tax increases.
No Republican lawmakers were present for the signing ceremony. However, the Student Success Act was co-sponsored by Rep. Carole Murray, R-Castle Rock, and both bills received bipartisan support at the Capitol. Republicans who expressed concerns about the funding measures during the legislative process argued that the efforts do not go far enough in replacing “negative factor” dollars. GOP lawmakers also wanted school districts to have more control over how the money is spent, without state strings attached. But Democratic lawmakers who attended the bill signing told students that they’re going to be in a better position to succeed because of the new funding. “People worked really hard to cause us to fund education at a higher level; to be able to restore some of the money that was missing; to be able to cause you to have a better opportunity to be successful,” said Rep. John Buckner, D-Aurora.

Annual benefit car show to take place downtown on June 8
C
ar enthusiasts can check out classic cars or the latest models during the annual Tri-Lakes Cruisers 2014 Benefit Car Show. On June 8 attendees will possibly see the streets of downtown Monument lined with brand new Camaros, classic Corvettes and Mustangs, Ford Thunderbirds, Model T’s, Chrysler Prowlers, Volkswagens and many more makes and models. “We had a Ford tractor one year,” Dale Schendzielos, secretary and treasurer of the Tri-Lakes Cruisers, said. Car owners have spent precious time and money into restoring their prized possessions. When seeing the cars lined up and down Second, Front, Washington and Jefferson Streets one is transported back in time 50 years or more. In its 13th year now, the car show has raised money for Tri-Lakes Cares and other charities. A total of $24,500 has been given to TLC over the years. “Last year was the highest donation we’ve given to TLC,” Schendzielos. Money raised for the local non-profit comes from the registration that car owners pay to enter a car into the car show. Pre-registration is $20 per car. Last year’s car show brought in 156 cars. Tri-Lakes Cruisers members and non-members enter their cars into the car show. Schendzielos said cars come from all up and down the Front Range to participate. He said one car will be coming from Arizona this year. “We got one guy in the club who’s
bringing three cars,” he said. Schendzielos said they hope for at least 200 cars but it all depends on the weather. But Tri-Lakes Cruisers doesn’t just give back to the community during the car show. Club members donate turkeys to TLC at Thanksgiving, sponsor needy families at Christmas and go on Panera bread runs during the months of May and October. Club members take their cars to Panera, load them with bread and rolls and take them to TLC. They also recently helped with a Girl Scout project that involved putting outdoor exercise stations at Palmer Ridge High School. “The club is (about) more than showing off cars,” Schendzielos said. The day’s event, which starts at 10 a.m. and ends at 3 p.m., will include music, displays of fire trucks and police cars from the Tri-Lakes Monument Fire Protection District and the Monument Police Department, food vendors and the Air Force Academy falcon mascot will be on display. There will also be games for the kids. Trophies will be handed out for the best cars. Tri-Lakes Cruisers club members will not be eligible to win a trophy. The car show is free to the public. Schendzielos said owners can still register their cars up until the day of the event. Registration goes up $5 the day of the event. Those who register their cars will receive a free breakfast from the Coffee Cup Café. For registration visit tlcruisers.org.

The show in the RDC Atrium will feature the photography of Glenn W. Murray, documenting local building construction and public works projects from the 1930s through the 1960s. The show continues through business hours during the month of June and the RDC is open Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p,m. Copies of the photographs on display will be available for purchase in a variety of sizes, with proceeds going to benefit the Old Colorado City History Center. “These are modern prints, as opposed to vintage prints, made from Glenn Murray’s original photo negatives,” said Don Kallaus, with the History Center. “Very high quality, high resolution scans with all controls and manipulations of the images within the range of control that Murray would have done in his darkroom, in his day. In other words; interpreted in a very limited, straightforward manner.” The CityWorks photography show is sponsored by the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department. “This collection of pictures documents the construction of a good many landmarks in our area, so this is a great opportunity to see the earlier days of El Paso County as it was being built,” noted El Paso County Commissioners’ Chairman

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) a realistic view of a workplace or personal situation helps you deal with it more constructively once you know where the truth lies. Reserve the weekend for someone special. LEO (Jul 23 to aug 22) as much as you Leos or Leonas might be intrigued by the “sunny” prospects touted for a potential investment, be careful that you don’t allow the glare to blind you to its essential details. VIRGO (aug 23 to Sept 22) a friend’s problem brings out the Virgo’s nurturing nature in full force. However, don’t go it alone. allow others to pitch in and help share the responsibilities you’ve assumed. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) a business decision might need to be put off until a colleague’s personal matter is resolved. Use this time to work on another business matter that you’ve been anxious to get to. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Relationships (personal or professional)might appear to be stalled because of details that keep cropping up and that need tending to. Be patient. a path begins to clear soon. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) a promotion could cause resentment among envious colleagues. But others recognize how hard you worked to earn it, and will be there to support you if you need them. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Handling a delicate personal matter needs both your wisdom and your warmth. Expect some setbacks, but stay with it. The outcome will more than justify your efforts. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Resist the temptation to cut corners just because time is short. Best to move ahead step by step so you don’t overlook anything that might later create time-wasting complications. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Use the good will you recently earned with that well-received project to pitch your ideas for a new project. Expect some tough competition, though, from an unlikely source.
