im Stack grew up in Nebraska and experienced a variety of storms. But never in his 40-plus years had he experienced anything like what occurred on Aug. 22 when a ferocious rain and hail storm slammed parts of El Paso and Teller counties. “I’ve never seen that much rain at one time and I’ve never seen hail last as long as it did,” Stack said. At about 5:15 p.m., Stack arrived at The Classical Academy north campus to help coach football practice. He is a home inspector and roof inspector, as well as the offensive line coach for TCA. TCA is located on Stout Road, just west of Voyager Parkway - about a mile south of Northgate Boulevard. By the time Stack arrived at the school, dark storm clouds were brewing overhead with lighting and thunder several miles to the east and northeast. At that point, practice was still a go. But by 5:30 p.m., TCA head coach David Bervig made the call to move practice indoors. As players and coaches scrambled to put equipment in nearby sheds a heavy down poor began. “It was a hard rain followed by peasized hail,” Stack said. “The hail stopped after a little while, then it started raining again, and all of the sudden marble-sized hail came down. When I looked across the football field a few minutes later it was completely covered in white. “Things let up after about an hour, but the water in the surrounding areas was a POSTAL ADDRESS
More than 4 inches of rain and hail clogged area streets and flooded residential and business areas in Norther El Paso County Thursday. minimum 6 inches deep.” The relentless rain and hail storm pounded parts of El Paso and Teller counties and forced the closure of northbound Interstate 25. It also caused Highway 24 to close in both directions. “We got a lot of rain, but I didn’t see a lot of damage,” said Craig Fleischmann, who lives near Fox Run Park in unincorporated El Paso County. “Along Baptist Road the water was going over road. At my house it was flooding over the gutters.” It took Fleischmann two and a half hours to get home from his office in Denver, near Littleton. He took Highway 85 south and picked up the freeway in Castle Rock. From there the drive home got Water continues on Page 18

Labor Day event moved to Oct. 5 Kinetic Sculpture Derby and Street Fair becomes Monument Fall Festival The Tri-Lakes Chamber has announced their Monday, Sept. 2 Kinetic Sculpture Derby and Street Fair has been moved permanently to the first Saturday in October. This is to accommodate many groups who have sculptures but are out of town at another event during Labor Day Weekend. By moving it, they will be able to enter the derby and show off their marvels to the attendees.
Kinetic Sculptures are human-powered works of art and can be elaborate or as simple as two bikes with a bar between them. They will ride from Monument, up the Santa Fe Trail, around Palmer Lake, and back into Monument. The Derby parade will start at 10 a.m., accompanied by the street fair, food court, music and games in Limbach Park. In addition, there will be a hint of an Oktoberfest feel in the form of a beer garden to round out the day.

Sharing their gift Front Range Open Studios tour set for Sept. 14, 15 By Nancy Bonig
Special to the Tribune Where will the next generation of artists and craftsmen get their inspiration and exposure to all the various mediums of expression? With budget cutbacks in schools, the closing of galleries and artists cooperatives because of a sluggish economy, youth are not exposed to all the possibilities of creativity they once were. The artists and craftsmen of the Front Range Open Studios want to share their gift with their neighbors, both young and old, by opening their working studios to the public for one weekend in September. These artisans in 14 different mediums will demonstrate their craft, showing how they created their own unique environment for creative expression and craftsmanship, to nurture the next generation of artists, to introduce them to different mediums and, in general, to educate the public in the challenging processes of creating fine art and craft.
One woodturner will show you his tools, the oak and maple that speaks to him, and how he frees the paper thin vessels from the raw material. A jeweler will demonstrate how she transforms metals and gemstones into a necklace. Participants will see the step by step process of creating a bronze figure and how a pottery kiln differs from a glass kiln . Visit a furniture maker’s workshop, located next to a herd of buffalo, and see how he enhances recycled wood into a table, cabinet or desk. See how one artist uses handmade paper to mimic wood, ceramic and metal. At some locations, visitors will have the opportunity to craft their own work of art by making a pair of earrings or designing a piece of glass to be fused and shaped into a plate. See how each artist and craftsman has transformed his or her working space with tools, music, books and specialized materials into their own sanctuary, where they find creativity and inspiration. For more information about this event, a list of all the participating artists, and a map of all locations, go to www.frontrangeopenstudios.com.
SEPT. 15 CONCERT SERIES. Awake the Lake is a group chartered to restore, preserve and enhance the natural landmark Palmer Lake and the beauty of its surrounding park land.

Drivers who prefer to avoid this on ramp are encouraged to use an alternate route to southbound I-25. The recommended detour is Academy Boulevard south to Woodmen Road and Woodmen Road west to southbound I-25. Drivers who use the on ramp are asked to be patient and cautious as they merge with southbound I-25 traffic and drivers on southbound I-25 approaching the acceleration ramp from Academy Boulevard are asked to watch for merging traffic, the CDOT said.

Air Force Academy is really a newcomer In the scheme of things, the Air Force Academy really is a virtual newcomer to this area. Selected as the architect of the massive undertaking, the firm (actually a joint venture of several companies) of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, was not even awarded the contract for the project until July 23, 1954, according to author Steven A. Simon in “The Building of the Air Force Academy,” an article that appeared in a special publication that celebrated 50 years of the academy. Most of the now well-known buildings on the 18,455-acre military reservation were built in the midto late 1950s. But what came before? As early as 1860, lumber concerns began to appear in an area later to be known as Husted. In what is now located just about at the north entrance of the academy, Calvin R. Husted built a sawmill, and by the late 1860s, nearly 200 people lived nearby as the town with many businesses, a church and even a newspaper, the Husted Banner, developed around the mill. “Husted operated the mill for many years. Calvin Husted was one of the earliest county commissioners in El Paso County. He was known as a generous man; during his
prosperous years he was said to have given may a handout and grubstake. He died in the poorhouse in Colorado Springs,” wrote Perry Eberhart in “Ghosts of the Colorado Plains.” Eventually the sawmill was abandoned, but the town survived for years as a shipping point for ranches in the area. The buildings disappeared little by little over the years. “One of the oldest was the Branding Iron café; It became a saloon, then a store, then a post office, and finally a church. The service station and store closed in 1956. The last signs of Husted were completely destroyed with the construction of the academy and the U.S. 85-87 freeway,” wrote Eberhart.
But prior to then, the little burg had an interesting run. There was even a West Husted and East Husted separated by Monument Creek and positioned alternately near the Rio Grande tracks and the Santa Fe tracks. And at one time the D & R.G. maintained a roundhouse or turntable in West Husted. “The steam trains had power to pull the freight and passenger trains from Colorado Springs to Husted, but not enough power to pull the steep grade to Palmer Lake to the ‘Divide,’ therefore extra helper engines and crews were kept at Husted,” local historian Lucille Lavelett said. It was an area known for train tragedies as well. Rock Island and Rio Grande trains collided head-on near there in 1888 killing only two people but another wreck in 1909 took the lives of seven and injured nearly 60 people. Interestingly enough, there was also an early airport there. “An unwitting precursor to the area’s eventual grand purpose, a small airport and flying school were built in the late 1930s on land currently used for cadet airmanship operations.

while a member of the Academy Site Selection Commission,” Simon said. Additionally, in the canyons west of Husted, bootleg whiskey stills proliferated during Prohibition and cattle rustlers, horse thieves and other undesirables were reportedly hanged in nearby Deadman’s Canyon, thereby giving it that rather dubious namesake. Fox farms operated near there in 1930s, and former Governor Oliver Shoup owned the Cathedral Rock ranch not far from Husted on what is now Academy land. Other towns at one time existed on or close to what is now the military reservation. Among them, Pring Siding, Edgerton, Monument Station (on the south end of the Academy), Henry, Borst, and Stanley Camp to name a few. But they each have unique stories of their own. The Burgess Ranch Cabin, constructed in 1869-70 by William A. Burgess, remains today in the Douglas Valley housing area on the academy. It is one of the oldest re- Mill l maining buildings in the Pikes Peak region and is on the National Register of Historic Dear Ia Places.

Usually, as long as they sione have their foam seats, hot chocolate and tricts popcorn, the experience is a pleasant one. The game on the field has a flavor all its own. A keen football fan will break down a team’s offensive and defensive schemes, count the quarterback’s steps as he drops back to pass and study the linebacker’s movements just before the ball is snapped. Mom and dad might see the game differently than grandma and grandpa. Some people might not even watch the game at all. Their reason for attending might be to hang out with friends and share good times. Long after the stands are cleared, the field is void of players and the parking lot is empty, somebody in some remote part of the facility turns off the lights and the stadium goes dark; signaling the end of a long day. No doubt, there are many details I’ve left out of this narrative. But hopefully you get the point that a high school football game is more than just an event that features players in pads and an odd-shaped ball. A lifetime of memories can be created by just one game. Dating back to the first game I attended as a fan in the early 1970s, high school football has held a unique place in my heart. I was blessed to play the game, and now write about it for more than a quarter century. My wish is that you get to experience this truly unique American phenomenon again this fall.
Train crew teaches Friday night lights will rabble-rousers a lesson fill up skies this fall I found this story in a February, 1902 Cripple Creek newspaper, and found some very interesting things in it. First, let’s hear the exciting story of passengers on Saturday night’s northbound Midland train had an exciting experience just after leaving Cameron as a result of a fight between the train crew and a party of four men who persisted in smoking and using obscene language and indulging in other disorderly conduct in the ladies coach. The four offenders had boarded the train at Cripple Creek and before the train reached Cameron, their language and conduct had become so obnoxious that some of the passengers reacted and asked them to go to the smoking car. Those making the request were cursed and abused for doing so, and when pulling out of Cameron, one of them complained to Conductor Prosser, asking him to exert his authority toward keeping order. Prosser went to the men and told them that if they wished to smoke or indulge in such profane language as they had been using, they would have to retire to the smoking car. Their reply was a volley of curses, and Prosser took one of them by the collar to lead him to the smoker. Another of the party kicked Prosser in the stomach, and fighting began.

Conductor Prosser and Brakeman Hoover used their lanterns over the heads of two of the men with telling effect, and in a very short time the entire party was perfectly tame and willing to go wherever the crew directed. The loss to the Midland was two lanterns and a window glass in the coach. The remainder of the passengers were undisturbed from that point to the Springs. Two of the disturbers received severe cuts about the head and face, but their injuries were not serious. I have often wondered if this was a problem on the late night trains in the district, and this one is on a Saturday night!

This week’s column has a sports angle. But it is also about community coming together and kids demonstrating their school pride. Most high school football teams around the state are kicking off their seasons this week. Football, especially under the lights, signals the start of a new school year. It means that fall is just around the corner. Summer fun under the sun is put on hold for the next nine months. Football is truly Americana. Its many moving parts on and off the field trump any other high school sport. Each year beginning the second week of August, teams gather for first “official” practices. Helmets and pads are issued. Locker rooms suddenly have that “sweet” stench that only a football player and coach can appreciate. In another part of the school, marching bands hold camps and work out some of the finer points of their musical selections and moves. Their commitment is just as demanding and just as involved as their athletic counterparts. Still in another part of the school, cheerleaders gather. They work out routines and come up with dance moves that - if executed properly - will get the crowd even more excited at the just the right moment. In cafeterias and homes around the area, members of the student body prepare signs in support of their favorite players and teams. They figure out unique ways to demonstrate their school spirit and, hopefully, rally their teams to victory. But there are still more moving parts leading up to the big game. School athletic directors and staff members hammer out last-minute, behindthe-scenes details. Maintenance workers feverishly prepare the field and do their best to make sure there are no hiccups come game day. Finally, after weeks of preparation, everybody comes together for the three-hour event. In the press box, members of the media huddle in small rooms with their clipboards, notepads and rosters to make sure they detail each play between the two teams. Public address announcers call out the action on the field, while officiating crews implement their skills on the field to make

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS
Local politics better without partisanship Across Colorado, budding candidates for city and town councils and school boards are wrapping up the process of gathering signatures for their nomination petitions. These citizens are working to get their names on the ballot for this November’s election, and ultimately, they are trying to win a spot on an elected board that comes with little or no pay. Voters will pick from among these candidates without a party affiliation listed for the candidates. Further, a search for candidate information on the Secretary of State’s Tracer website yields the term “nonpartisan” next to the category “party.” Indeed, these are officially nonpartisan elections they are hoping to compete in. But don’t be fooled: There are partisan races being waged for municipal and
OUR VIEW
school board offices in this state. Colorado law does not prohibit a candidate from campaigning as a Republican, Democrat, Libertarian or member of any other party. In other words, a candidate can tout that he or she is a member of a certain party, secure that party’s endorsement and even run among a slate of candidates looking to grab or maintain power for that party on an elected board. And voters who have been paying attention are not likely
to need a party affiliation listed on their ballots to know who represents Team Blue or Team Red or Team Other. While it is not illegal, we believe this process violates the spirit of election law. The real spirit of serving on a city council or a school board, as we wrote in an editorial last month, should be a noble calling to public service - to make a community better. It is not promoting the platform of a major, national political organization. We believe local politics should be about people, not parties. It is particularly a shame when partisanship rears up to narrow the pool of candidates in an attempt to prevent votes from being split. Sure, when a party encourages someone not to run, it is a pragmatic move in that it increases the likelihood of
achieving a victory. But it also suppresses diversity of thought and likely keeps some very well-intentioned, capable citizens from public service. Don’t get us wrong. We’re not saying every local campaign has been taken over by partisanship. Just too many — regardless of what that number is. For now, we encourage candidates who feel a true calling to serve to stick with it. There’s nothing wrong with being a member of a political party, but if you are truly dedicated to helping the community, don’t let your affiliation dictate whether you will seek office. If you win, don’t let it determine how you will serve. Come November, we encourage voters to simply choose the best person for the job.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Mill Levy Override detail sharing please Dear Editor I am providing this letter as comment to the Tri-Lakes Tribune article “D-38 seeks a mill levy override in November” as follows below: After reading the D38 Mill Levy wording, and in the spirit of open communication and sharing demonstrated by Superintendent Borman and the board this past year, I believe the district should provide to our community specific details of the $4.5 million annual spending proposed with this November ballot issue. 1. What are the “provided” STEM and Arts details. 2. What “Leading Edge Instruction” is proposed. 3. “Restoring” how many teachers from the student needs analysis. 4. What educational “programs” need additional support. 5. What teaching positions are “being restored.” 6. What is the definition of “high quality teachers” used for newly recruited teachers. 7. How much funding to “enhance safety and security” and what are the details. 8. Will this $4.5 million MLO end? As attributed to Mr Pfoff, no one argues with “exceptional education to our kids.” By D38 sharing their MLO needs analysis, vision and cutting edge programs envisioned for the future, perhaps other districts can benefit from these MLO details.

Unemployment still a problem Dear Editor With unemployment still high, Americans are rightly concerned about the health of our nation’s economy and about jobs. We have too many people right now who would like to be working but simply can’t find a job. One of the faster growing areas for jobs in America right now is in energy. And with smart policies that encourage oil and natural gas development in the Arctic areas, we can create even more jobs for Americans who need them. The good news is that Arctic oil and natural gas development doesn’t just create and support jobs for the people that do the hard work removing these resources from the ground. It also creates jobs for many other people who support these efforts. That means steel and pipe manufacturers, shipping jobs, and union labor for the construction and maintenance of the pipelines that transports these resources. Smart energy policies that encourage more oil and natural gas development in the Arctic won’t just help the frontline workers. It helps out all Americans by making our economy stronger when we need that the most. John Graczyk, Monument
Time to vote Yes on MLO Dear Editor The Lewis-Palmer School District 38 Board of Education will ask voters for a Mill Levy Override on the November ballot. State funding for our students has been negatively impacted by nearly $11 million due primarily to the economy. The school district has done everything possible to keep the cuts as far away from the classroom as possible, but eventually, the district was forced to eliminate 35 teaching positions and many student intervention programs that helped students succeed. In November, our community will be asked to help offset these cuts and restore vital educational programs, to provide for the safety and security of our students, and to bring back some teaching positions crucial to the success of our students. As a retired District 38 superintendent and a resident of this community for 25 years, it pains me to see the decline of programs
and achievement levels that have occurred the last few years. I believe all of our students deserve the support necessary to receive the excellent opportunities for which this district has been known. Personally, I recognize my future quality of life and home value depend upon an excellent school district and successful students as future citizens. In my tenure as superintendent, I valued and was proud of this community’s concern, commitment, and support for excellence in educational services for our children. I wholeheartedly believe it is time to support the school board’s decision to ask the voters for an MLO. It is time for us all, the voters, to vote yes and to continue to play a vital role in the lives of our children and the excellence of quality education. Sincerely, Dwight “Ted” Bauman Retired Superintendent of Schools Community Member since 1988

Ranch is refuge amid heartache Architect, author create beauty, wonderful wines after loss By Virginia Grantier
vgrantier@ourcoloradonews.com At a recent wine-tasting event in Castle Rock, there was a Sedalia winery, its husband and wife owners there, and it all seemed so perfect — a lovely, carefree life. The winemaker, an architect by day, poured samples of his wines that were aged in, and seem to thrive in, the constantly cool basement of the 100-year-old farmhouse he and she renovated. “It’s creative, and fun, kind of a people thing … kind of a mystery and difficult,” he said about winemaking. And he likes the challenge. “If it was easy, everyone could do it,” he said. He is Dave Rhyne, with father-wisdom gentle eyes and gray locks of hair in the tousled hairstyle of someone who had better things to do this day than comb. It’s an appropriate look for someone reputed to lean into life, heading always in the direction of adventure. She is Margaret Marshall Rhyne, sitting nearby, married to him. Beyond sharing her husband’s zest for things interesting and challenging, she is a mother and grandmother,
and still has the model face that people once said should be in Pepsi commercials. And she is an author, public speaker, marketer and magician who takes can’t-be-done-anytimesoon ideas and does them soon. One of her projects: Turning the dream of former Denver Broncos quarterback Brian Griese — a foundation for grieving children — into a quick reality through her major fundraising efforts. When Griese was 12, he lost his mom to breast cancer.
hundreds of hours renovating the house, which was in an abandoned state, taken over by field mice and wasp nests. They still weren’t done with it when one morning before getting coffee Dave walked into Alexis’ room in 2005 to check on her and greet her — and found she had passed away. “I felt like half of my soul had been torn away,” said Margaret, who credits Alexis with many things, including teaching her about unconditional love.
House project begins
Work helped with healing
It wasn’t even a thought to start a winery, when, after Dave Rhyne designed and they built their dream home in the Sedalia area, they then took on renovating the nearby Allis Ranch house, which had been built from a Sears catalog kit. They took on the beyond-dilapidated structure so they could then rent it to a nice family who could sometimes help them with Alexis, Margaret’s adult daughter from a previous marriage. When Alexis was born, it was initially thought she was “normal.” But she stopped smiling at age 1½ and she never progressed like other children, Margaret said. She stayed at the level of a 3-month-old baby — never could sit up, or feed herself or speak. Starting in November 2004, the couple would spend

Finishing the house became a part of the healing. And friends and family were a part of creating a memorial garden in the house’s front yard, with bleeding hearts flowers and forget-me-nots and a bench with Alexis’ name on it in front of the house. Efforts to continue on, despite their grief, included spending time with their remaining grown children and a new grandchild and getting involved in new challenges. An interest in collecting wine progressed to much research and trying to make wines — and later, in the cool farmhouse basement, they created the Allis Ranch Winery. Dave, the winemaker, and Margaret, the assistant, have received praise. Robert M. Parker Jr., often touted as one of the world’s most respected wine critics, gave one of their wines a 90 rating on his 100-point rating system. And Dave, who had brought Parker a couple of the Allis wines to a dinner they both attended, remembers Parker exclaiming he was very surprised, that he didn’t know “Colorado wines would be that good.” “That’s huge,” Dave said about Parker’s comments. Allis Ranch Winery - which Dave describes as very small, a “boutique winery” that produces 300 to 400 cases annually — has also received gold medals at the Colorado Governor’s Cup Wine Competition, hosted by the state’s Colorado Wine Industry Development Board. While Dave was working on wine, Margaret was writing a memoir published in 2009, “Remembering Alexis: Finding Perspective in Love and Loss.” Later, she was encouraged to give talks about writing a memoir. But early efforts to do that were nearly impossible, despite years of public speaking, because she couldn’t trust herself to speak. She said at times her brain would reach a “dead end.” She couldn’t think of anything, just blackness, symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, she said. It has taken a lot of work to climb through it. One therapy has been to produce beautiful things. She said she and Dave, her soul mate, like to create beauty. And then she left the interview to care for things, make things prettier. Mow the grass — around the ranch house brought meticulously back to beauty. And around the beautiful memorial garden. But maybe there’s always beauty around her, now, regardless. She can recount moments, experiences, “signs,” that tell her the beautiful spirit of brown-eyed Alexis is still with them. And just that can make life beautiful, at times, again.

Go ahead, help make someone’s day
They stand on a corner, three teenage girls in colorful summer dresses, their hands held high and clutching posterboards in neon green and pink scrawled with cheery messages: “Find the good.” “Smile - U - matter.” “Stay positive.” “Honk if you’re happy.” And many drivers do, creating an intermittent cacophony of horns of varying timbres and tempos. The girls respond with wide smiles and spirited fist pumps. Kinzi Kuhloie gives a thumbs-up as one driver leans on the horn repeatedly in a long series of honks. “Yeah!” she says excitedly. “They’re really pumped!” Kinzi is 17 and she’s been sign-holding, as she calls it, for two years. Her motivation is uncomplicated. “Life can get overwhelming and so many things can build up that you don’t find the good,” she says. “This reminds you to look for the good . . . and remember that it’s there.” Kinzi and her friends, Alyssa Hayne, 16, and Emily VonDongen, 19, have hit the streets in Highlands Ranch with their signs about twice a week this summer. The positive response, they say, keeps them coming back. “We’re making people happy,” Alyssa says, “one sign at a time.”
•••
Kinzi, Alyssa and Emily are part of a growing grassroots crusade to spread positive thinking. She got the idea from a good friend, a student at Mesa State University in Grand Junction, who started a club to promote positivity by holding signs. In Anacortes, Wash., in May 2012, the Happiness Sprinkling Project was born when people gathered at a popular intersection and held signs saying “You are loved” and “Yes oh Yes.” The movement to “sprinkle happiness” through sign-holding
events has since spread to 20 cities and two countries, according to its website. Last year, in Washington, D.C., a 29-year-old man campaigned to make people smile by standing at street corners with friends holding posterboards declaring “Honk if you love someone,” “Be happy” and “Don’t be so hard on yourself.” Passersby loved them back. These spontaneous, informal events fit neatly into the emerging field of positive psychology and the study of happiness. Instead of trying to figure out why we feel sad or depressed, positive psychology focuses instead on how we can become happier and more fulfilled. The world-renowned founder of positive psychology, Dr. Martin Seligman, directs the Positive Psychology Center at the University of Pennsylvania. (You can take the free authentic happiness test on the center’s website at www.authentichappiness.sas.upenn.edu/Default.aspx.) He contends that happiness can be analyzed into three measurable elements —positive emotion, engagement and meaning — and that the ultimate goal is to reach a state of well-being. What Kinzi and her friends are doing may not be earth-shattering in terms of establishing lasting happiness, but creating moments that make us smile or laugh or lift our spirits can make a difference that matters. Kateri McRae, an assistant professor at the University of Denver who researches
emotions, notes that studies show our brains are wired in a way that tune in more quickly to negative information. “Evolutionarily, negative information is usually more critical to deal with — and to deal with quickly — and so our brains process negative information a little bit faster,” she says. For instance, “If we discover there is something that wants to eat us out there, (the brain tells us) we should run as fast as possible.” Our brains hone in rapidly on causes of negative emotion, too. “We tend to pick out a `frownie’ face out of a sea of smiling faces pretty quickly,” McRae says. “Negative emotions can even further narrow our attention and . . . remind us of other negative things,” generating a feedback loop that keeps circulating unhappy feelings. But those same reinforcing effects manifest themselves with positive emotion also. “Being in a positive mood tends to make you more aware of the more positive things around you,” McRae says. “Remembering positive things tends to remind you of other positive things.” What Kinzi and her friends are doing, McRae says, can be clinically described as “benefit-finding” — encouraging people to look for the hidden benefits in life — a component of many therapeutic interventions. “You never know what is going to send somebody up, flip around a downward spiral into an upward spiral,” McRae says. “There is potential a sign could do that. My best guess would be that it helps a small portion of the people who drive by. You never know what’s going to turn someone’s day around. . . . Sometimes, you just need a reminder.”
•••
For Kinzi and her friends, much happiness comes from making others happy.
Yes, there have been people who flip them off or yell “You suck!” as they drive by. Kinzi’s reaction: “It’s really unfortunate you guys think that way, but you need the love the most.” But by and far, reaction is overwhelmingly positive. “Some guy pulled over last week and gave us $20,” Kinzi says. “He said, `You deserve some lunch.’ That was cool.” Another driver once parked to say: “I was having a terrible day and your sign completely turned it around and gave me hope.” And the driver of a Wonder Bread truck tossed out a box of muffins. Kinzi has plans to start a club that would take the positivity from the sign-holding to another level, something longer lasting — “the idea if I can change your day, you’ll change somebody else’s day.” But, on this afternoon, the girls enthusiastically wave their signs in the hope of bringing a little joy to someone who could use a pick-me-up. One driver shouts through a window: “Have a good day!” “Yeah!” Emily shouts back, glee in her voice. “You, too!” A car with two young men stops, waiting for the light to change. The driver leans over and yells: “What are you guys doing this for?” Emily grins: “To make you guys happy!” He pauses a moment, looks at her, then: “Thank you for making my day.” And he eases the car into the intersection, the smile on his face celebrating a moment of unexpected and simple pleasure.

Dsummers@ourcoloradonews.com For two decades, the Lewis-Palmer High School boys’ soccer program was among the state’s elite. That’s why it’s difficult to believe that 10 years have passed since the Rangers last won a state soccer championship; a 2-1 overtime victory over Mullen in the Class 4A final in 2003. “We are returning a fantastic group of players,” said Lewis-Palmer coach Brian Barkey. “The boys have done nothing but get themselves ready for the season. “We had good spring training and a good summer and we’re ready to get the season going.” The Rangers were 6-7-2 overall last year, 3-3-1 in the highly competitive Class 4A Pikes Peak Athletic Conference. They are a veteran squad with 14 seniors donning orange and black jerseys. Among the top returners are seniors Gavin Grabb (five goals), Kyle Kurtz, Casey O’Connor, Andrew Allen and Alex Allenspach, and junior Hank Parsons (four goals, five assists). “I think we’ve been building for a few years,” Parsons said. “We finally have this group of really talented guys and a strong starting 11. “We have more intensity and more experience this year and we’re ready to take things farther.” Allen added that the core of this team has been playing together for years. “We’ve known each other since middle school and we know how to play with each other,” he said. O’Connor admitted the goal of winning a
state championship is on everyone’s mind, but the motivation does not begin there. “We go over what our goals for the season are; getting to the playoffs and winning a state championship,” O’Connor said. “But we also go on a game-by-game basis saying we want to get shutouts. We want to do this and that as we progress through the season. “We have really good leadership and I think we’ll be set to accomplish what we want to do.” Jack Clark, a junior transfer from Wisconsin, is taking over the goaltending duties. “He’s a bit of a missing link for us,” Barkey said. “He’s a hard worker and a leader. He has outstanding ability.” The Rangers usually are involved with a charity each year. This year’s event will honor the Black Forest Fire first responders. The event and silent auction will take place Sept. 24 at Don Breese Stadium before, during and after the Cheyenne Mountain game. “Not many people in our area escaped that fire without being touched by it in some way,” Barkey said. Bobby Burling, a former Rangers star and current Major League Soccer player, donated a gift basket for the silent auction. “We’ve had a great relationship with him since he’s been in the MLS,” Barkey said of Burling. The Rangers are playing with heavy hearts this season. Former teammate Taegon Kwiatkowski died in April at the age of 17.
PALMER RIDGE
Palmer Ridge couldn’t have come any closer to winning its first state championship in 2012. The No. 1 seeded Bears advanced all the way to the title game, losing 1-0 to Battle Mountain.
This could be a transition year for Palmer Ridge (17-2-1 record a year ago) as it returns just one starter in junior midfielder Jimmy Kochanski (five goals). The Bears return 11 players with varsity experience, however. Among those who are expected to make an impact this season are seniors Grant Helwig (midfield), Chase Bellefeuille (midfield/attack), Ryan Wible (midfield), Luke Zarlovacki (midfield) and Jeff Stolk (defense); juniors Ira Weyand (defense) and Zach Studtman (goalkeeper), and sophomores River Jones (attack), Garrett Obermeyer (midfield), Griffin Lloyd (midfield) and Harrison Hourung (midfield). Bears teams are usually defensive oriented, and this year should be no different. Palmer Ridge recorded 12 shutouts last season and had a goals against average of just .510. The Bears open their season Thursday at Silver Creek. Their first home game is Saturday against Pueblo West in a 1 p.m. start at Don Breese Stadium.
DISCOVERY CANYON
The Thunder graduated nine starters from a team that went 4-11 last season, 1-6 in PPAC. “For the most part, you’re not going to get better playing teams you know you’ll probably beat,” said Thunder coach Bill McMaster. “We have to play teams where we get pushed. Our league has some very good teams.” The Thunder should be strong in the middle of the field with the return of senior forward Josh Beardslee (six goals, eight assists), junior center mid fielder Matt Hilton (five assists), senior defender Jack Fischer and senior goalie Ryan Byrnes. “They’ll be our backbone down the field,” McMaster said. Among the newcomers expected to
make an impact are sophomore defenders tanner Roberts and Alex Widmann, and junior transfer Sam Detwiler. “We don’t play kick and run soccer,” McMaster said. “We play possession soccer. When teams beat us they’re forced to play good soccer.” The Thunder opens its season Sept. 4 against Vanguard at District 20 Stadium. Discovery Canyon hosts both Lewis-Palmer (Sept. 18) and Palmer Ridge (Oct. 10).
THE CLASSICAL ACADEMY
For the first time since 2008, the Titans will play a game without Evan Young - easily their most explosive offensive player in school history. In four seasons, Young accounted for 100 goals and 59 assists. Last year he had more than a third (30) of TCA’s goals. The Classical Academy’s final game of the 2012 season was a 1-0 loss at the hands of Faith Christian in the quarterfinals of the 3A playoffs. TCA was the No. 1 overall seed in the division and was expected to make a deep run. The Titans finished with a 16-2 record. It was the third consecutive season TCA’s final game ended in a one-goal loss. The Titans’ cupboard is not bare. They return several key starters; including sophomore forward Robby Jacobs (17 goals, 10 assists), junior goalkeeper Micah Mesward (nine goals allowed, 11 shutouts), senior midfielder James Larivee (six goals, five assists) and sophomore midfielder Andrew Peck. Galvin has his team poised to win now, but he is also looking toward the future as there are just five seniors and five juniors among the 19 players on the varsity roster. TCA opens its season Friday at Alexander Dawson in Lafayette. The Titans’ home opener is Sept. 10 against Sand Creek.

Thunder ready to defend league football title Discovery Canyon made playoffs for first time in school history in 2012 By Danny Summers
Dsummers@ourcoloradonews.com A pretty good case can be made that the Discovery Canyon Campus football team is the legitimate favorite to repeat as Class 3A Southern League champions this fall. In 2012, the Thunder earned the No. 2 overall seed in the playoffs after posting a 5-0 league mark and 9-1 regular season record. Its first journey into the playoffs ended with a 24-14 loss to Pueblo Central. The Thunder avenged that loss on Aug. 23 with a convincing 28-7 victory over Pueblo Central. Discovery Canyon senior quarterback Alec Wirtjes showed why he is one of the best all-around quarterbacks in the state at any level, completing four of seven passes for 135 yards and two touchdowns and rushing for a game-high 104 yards and a score. “We have high aspirations of a state championship, especially after coming off last year and the players we have coming back this year,” said Wirtjes, who runs a 4.6-second 40-yard dash. “We have to do the little things right. Last year toward the end of the season we stopped doing what we were taught and things just kind of fell apart. Especially dur-
The Discovery Canyon football team went 9-2 in 2012 and made its first-ever playoff appearance. Among the key players back for the Thunder are: (kneeling) Tyler Oberg and Michael Beiswenger. (back row) Jackson Spalding, Alec Wirtjes and Nik Duiker. Photo by Danny Summers ing the Central game.” Wirtjes (841 yards passing with 10 touchdowns, 515 yards on the ground with 10 touchdowns in 2012) is one of nine starters back on offense and seven on defense.
Other top returning seniors are fullback Adrian Mack (709 yards, five TDs), two-way tackle Jackson Spalding, defensive tackle/ offensive guard Nik Duiker, middle linebacker Tyler Oberg and wide receiver/free
safety Michael Beiswenger (16 catches for 297 yards and four touchdowns). Mack (88 yards) and Beiswenger (two catches for 94 yards) looked solid in the season opener against Pueblo. That senior leadership will play a key role in the Thunder’s drive to return to the playoffs. “If you don’t focus one game at a time and you focus on the game next week, all of the sudden you’re going to go into a game thinking you’re going to beat that team and they’re going to punish you and they’re just going to keep going after you,” said Spalding, who won state championships in the discus and shot put last spring. “We had some really close games last year when we thought we were just going to roll them over. But frankly, since we weren’t focusing on them and we were focusing on the week after, it made it more difficult on us. “That’s why we’re doing the little things right this year. Making sure we do everything the way we want it to be. We’re not taking any chances.” The Thunder plays a tough non league schedule that includes 4A Air Academy and cross town rival The Classical Academy in game No. 6. TCA handed Discovery Canyon its lone regular season loss last year. “If we can emerge from that schedule 4-2 or 5-1 and have some strong wild card points leading into league play I think we’ll Thunder continues on Page 13

Rangers looking for a return to the postseason Lewis-Palmer offense is usually ranked among the best in the state By Danny Summers
Dsummers@ourcoloradonews.com The Lewis-Palmer High School football team missed out on the state playoffs by the narrowest of margins in 2012. Long-time coach Tony Ramunno and his players aim to make certain that it does not happen again this season. “That ticks you off a little bit,” said Rangers senior running back/outside linebacker Matt Brines. “We’re gonna be trough this year. We have a strong group of guys and we play like a family. Not to mention we have a chip on our shoulder.” The Rangers struggled in their season open on Aug. 24, losing 35-13 to Pueblo East. Senior fullback Chad Marshall rushed for 131 yards and two second-half touchdowns for Lewis-Palmer, which trailed 28-0 at halftime. The Colorado High School Activities Association determines the 16 Class 3A playoff teams based on the nine league champions and the next best seven teams determined by wild card points. Lewis-Palmer finished with a 6-4 overall record and was ranked 17th.
The fact that Lewis-Palmer finished second in the Southern Division last season only seemed to pour salt on the wound. “We’ve been going after it pretty hard,” said Ramunno, who is in his 25th season as head coach of the Rangers. “We ran a minicamp for four days prior to our first official practice. We installed our offense in two days. “I feel sorry for our younger ones and new kids. It’s like trying to hold onto a fire hose.” The Rangers’ mission this year is to go at least 4-2 in non-league and 3-1 in the fiveteam Southern League. Wasson closed its doors last spring, meaning each team only has four league games. Winning league is vitally important if there is a hiccup in nonleague. “We know we have to make some noise in non-league,” Ramunno said. “Those games count a lot. You’re always trying to make sure you’re ready for league, but if you don’t pay attention to those non-league games they can come back and bite you.” Ramunno and crew run a high-octane spread option offense that, if implemented properly, could account for touchdowns by the handful. Six times last year the Rangers scored 40-or-more points in a game. They averaged 43 points per game in league play. Rangers continues on Page 13

Chiarenze was a cornerback in 2012 and also returned kicks and punts. He struggled against Pueblo East in last week’s opener, completing five of 16 passes for 70
Among those other backs who should play key roles, are senior Ben Gilson and junior Scott Betzer. Each guy had more than 100 yards last season in limited action. Beiswenger is hoping the ball gets thrown his way more often than not. “We’ve always been a predominantly running team, but it’s going to be good this year to open it up,” he said with a smile. “Maybe have like a 60/40 pass to run.” While Beiswenger likely won’t get his wish of being targeted 10 or 12 times per game, the Thunder will have a big target on its back, especially in league play. “I think three of the Top 5 or 6 teams in state will be Discovery Canyon, LewisPalmer and Coronado,” said Woodland Park coach Joe Roskam, whose team rounds out the conference with Mitchell. “Every game is going to be tough. You can’t look past anybody.”
yards and two interceptions. “He looks really good at quarterback,” Ramunno said. “He likes to run the ball and he throws a good ball. A lot of velocity.” Sophomore Paul Tillotson (6-foot, 170) is the quarterback in waiting. A baseball pitcher with a power arm, Tillotson directed the freshman football team to an undefeated record in 2012. He saw action against Pueblo East, completing one of three passes for seven yards. “He also throws the ball with a lot of velocity,” Ramunno said. Marshall (5-7, 165, who also doubles at linebacker) is the fastest and strongest kid on the team, according to Ramunno. Senior two-way tackle Andrew Brown (6-6, 210) will be a force on both sides of the line. Among the other top returning seniors are right end/wide receiver Joseph Glenn and wide receiver/strong safety Richard Ito. Junior outside linebacker Joseph Scott and his brother, sophomore wide receiver Jonathan Scott, are expected to make an impact.

MOVING ON UP
The official numbers won’t be released until October, but it appears as though The Classical Academy will move up to Class 4A in all sports except football beginning with the 2014-15 school year.
New Home Sales and Construction
“I’m looking forward to it,” said TCA volleyball coach Matt Ferger. “We’re building our program to be even stronger, and tougher competition can only help.” The word on the street is that TCA would join the 4A Metro League, which currently includes (except for football) Woodland Park, Mesa Ridge, Widefield, Coronado, Mitchell, Harrison and Sierra.
FOLLOWING AFTER DAD
New Palmer Ridge volleyball coach Jasmine Sandoval is following in the footsteps of her father, Pat Sandoval. Pat is in his fifth season as the head football coach at Brighton High School. “I’ve learned a lot from him over the years,” Jasmine said. Sandoval, 22, was an assistant coach at Lewis-Palmer last year while she finished her degree at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs.
SHE’S HAVING A KICK
The Discovery Canyon “C” squad place kicker this season is freshman Alexandra Palmer. She is the sister of former Thunder defensive end Jack Palmer. Alexandra is following in the footsteps of Grace Adams, another female kicker who played four years of football for the Thunder. Grace is now playing soccer for Western State. “I saw Grace do it and I told my dad I wanted to go out and play football,” Alexandra said. “I really like football. I just like sports. Alexandra is also a soccer player and has a pretty good leg. She said she could probably boot a 40-yard field goal.

Bears hungry for more victories this fall The Palmer Ridge football team set to begin second season in Class 4A By Danny Summers
Dsummers@ourcoloradonews.com Palmer Ridge’s dive into the world of Class 4A football was met with mixed results in 2012. “The jump from 3A to 4A was something that we learned from,” said Palmer Ridge coach Tom Pulford. “One of the things from my perspective was that in 3A you play a lot of games with players one through 15 on your roster. They’re going both ways. They’re contributing on special teams. “In 4A, you’re opponents are using 24 to 30 players. With more students to pull from they have bigger guys playing those spots 12 through 30.” The Bears went 2-8, 2-5 in the Foothills Conference. Their victories came over a couple of 3-7 teams - Widefield (21-7) and Pueblo Centennial (20-13). “I believe we’re in the toughest 4A conference in the state,” Pulford said. “Last year, the Top 4 teams from our conference went to the playoffs. That’s one-fourth of the playoff teams coming from the Foothills Conference.” Those four playoff teams were Pueblo West, Mesa Ridge, Cheyenne Mountain and Canon City. Each team had at least seven
victories. League champion Pueblo West was 12-1 and lost in the semifinals. “We want to go play the best opponents we can schedule and we want to get in good habits against those opponents. If we take care of the little things, big things like the scoreboard will take care of itself.” Most coaches count on their seniors to lead by example. Pulford has asked his seniors to take that a higher level. “This year’s group of seniors is very committed,” he said. “They are working very hard. They’re holding their teammates accountable. “As a team we’re stronger than we’ve ever been in terms of team strength. What we’ve done this off-season has given us a solid foundation to stand on. Now it’s about execution. All the hard work in the off season. All the weight lifting. Now we have to go out and put some points on the board.” Senior Blaine Wycoff will handle the quarterback duties. He started a handful of games last year after starter Jordan Brame went down with a season-ending injury. Wycoff completed 20 of 65 attempts for 441 yards and a touchdown. Joining Wycoff in the backfield are seniors Austin Huey and Thomas Busath, and junior Eric Martin. The trio combined for about 150 years in 2012. At wide receiver will be seniors Danny Baumgardt - eight receptions for 79 yards and Fred Jones The Bears have a handful of two-way

Aug. 30 against Montrose in a 7 p.m. start at Don Breese Stadium. Their first league game is Sept. 20 at home against Pueblo South. For the second year in a row, Palmer Ridge and cross town rival Lewis-Palmer will not play each other because of scheduling conflicts and other concerns.

The Classical Academy football team experienced the sweet thrill of victory and the bitter agony of defeat in 2012. Nine consecutive wins to begin the season helped TCA secure a No. 4 overall seed in the Class 3A playoffs. But a rash of injuries in the regular season finale against Pueblo Central (a 14-3 loss) left TCA a shell of its former self when it squared off with Delta in the first round of the playoffs. No. 14 Delta won 21-0. “This senior class has been saying since seventh grade that we want to win state,” said TCA senior quarterback Jantzen Ryals, who broke his collarbone against Pueblo Central and was unavailable for the playoffs. “Expectations are really high, but we have to keep the same work ethic that we had last year and we have to surprise teams like we did last year.” Ryals is a three-year starter. He is gritty and battle-tested. In 2012 he completed 117 of 201 passes for 1,872 yards and 21

Ryals will be joined in the backfield by senior tailback Andrew Register, who ran for 961 yards and seven touchdowns last year. The 5 feet, 8 inch, 175-pound back would like to eclipse the 1,000-yard mark this fall, but he is making team goals his top priority. “I’d like to shoot well over (1,000 yards), but it comes down to the O-line,” said Register, who also caught 25 passes for 159 yards and a touchdown. “If I can’t push those guys to do their best then I’m not going to have a good season. “But it’s more about the team aspect. I’d like to see us go deep into the playoffs, rather than get the 1,000 yards for myself. Seeing that this is our last year I’d really like to make it a good one. I don’t want to be the guy looking back with regret.” Another key skill player is junior slot back Peter Troupe (6 receptions for 94 yards in a back-up role). “It will be nice to be incorporated more into the offense,” Troupe said. “We’ve

early a lifetime of Richard Pankratz’ work will be on display for the community to admire during an upcoming art exhibit at the Tri-Lakes Center for the Arts. The Richard Pankratz 70th Birthday Retrospective Show will take place Sept. 3-28 in the main gallery. Pankratz is well known in the community and over the years has created sculptures, furniture, fountains and vessels and has given back to the community in which he calls home by organizing the very first Empty Bowl Dinner in Monument along with his wife Linda and local potter Anne Shimek. Pankratz has generously made many of the ceramic bowls for the dinner over the years. “I consider the show retrospective because it’s about where I started up to this point,” Pankratz said. “A lot of pieces will fill the main gallery. Over 50 years of artwork and 70 years of life,” added Linda Pankratz. One of the pieces in the show will be the first bronze sculpture that Pankratz made in 1966. Pankratz said when he was in fifth grade, he told people he would one day be an artist. He thought that being an

After high school, he attended the Kansas City Art Institute, where he was introduced to other mediums. He later transferred to Emporia Kansas State University. It was there that he acquired a teach-
ing degree and went on to teach art in Kansas and Colorado. After 11 years, he decided to leave teaching and fulfill his dream of being an artist. He began selling ceramic pieces in the early 1970s. During the 1990s, Pankratz began phasing out of ceramics into
sculptures made of casting bronze. One of his major transition pieces is called “The Explorers” and is displayed in his living room. The sculpture is made of ceramic and bronze. “It is a pivotal piece,” Pankratz said. “In life you go through things day to day and don’t realize how far you’ve come. That’s the way it was with the transition from pottery to sculptures.” Pankratz said the days of functional ceramics are gone. His primary focus now is bronze sculptures. His sculptures have been featured in galleries in Arizona, New Mexico, California and South Carolina. They have also been featured at “Sculptures in the Park” in Loveland, an internationally recognized and juried exhibition. The Richard Pankratz 70th Birthday Retrospective Art Show is a celebration of his work as he has gone from clay to bronze. The show will also feature a few paintings he has done over the years as a hobby. About 25 percent of the pieces in the exhibit will come from the Pankratz’ private collection and the private collection of those who have bought his sculptures. What is not private collection will be available for purchase. Also in the exhibit will be paintings by Colorado artist Karen Scharer. There will be a free opening reception at the TLCA from 6 to 8 p.m. Sept. 6. For more information visit www.trilakesarts.org.

The D-38 commencement program from 1948 depicts graduates setting off to a promising future. Through their dedication, the Hall of Fame inductees have helped thousands of D-38 students succeed.
CourteSy PHotoS
“Old Pine Grove” Lewis-Palmer Schools have come a long way since they were first housed in one-room school houses like this one. The history of the district, and the people who helped shape our schools, will be celebrated at the Sept. 24 Hall of Fame induction.
Lewis-Palmer School District creates Hall of Fame Special to the Tribune At its monthly meeting Thursday, the District 38 Board of Education announced the establishment of the Lewis-Palmer School District Hall of Fame. Its purpose is to publicly recognize those who have made significant contributions to the success of the school district. “This is long overdue. We are who we are because of people who did a lot of work to establish criteria for our schools, which turned into the foundation of this amazing district. We don’t want that history to be lost,” Superintendent John Borman said. Borman gathered input from a group of esteemed retirees familiar with the history of the district to determine the first round of award winners. That group included former superintendents, principals, athletic directors and teachers. He explained, “The
selection criteria for this first class were relatively broad, on purpose. It was most important that it is a group that shaped the foundational values for Lewis-Palmer School District, and these people did incredible work.” The first inductees to the Hall of Fame are, in no particular order: Dr. Ray Kilmer, former superintendent of schools; Norma Lavelett, former district secretary; Grace Best, former elementary school teacher; Frank Royal, former school board member; and Don Breese, former high school principal. Most of the recipients or their family members have already confirmed they’ll attend the awards event.

“Our new teachers, students, staff members, and families owe it to themselves to know where we came from, in terms of the ideas, the standards, the values that have resulted in a district of excellence,” Borman said. Future inductees for what is planned to be an annual event, will be chosen by a standing committee tasked with crafting the annual nomination and review process and selecting the winners. It is anticipated the awards will expand to include distinguished alumni in coming years. Board of Education President Jeff Ferguson said he hopes there will be a lot of community participation in selecting the next series of winners. “If anyone has an idea about who should receive future awards, they just need to fill out the nomination form and we’ll do this again next year,” he said.

grow very large in a short time, as there are so many deserving people to be considered. Initially, the Hall of Fame recipients will be honored in an awards display at the district administration building, on a dedicated web page and in a commemorative album. Many school districts in Colorado and across the nation have similar awards programs in place, for former employees, community members and alumni. Other districts with Hall of Fame traditions in place credit those efforts with not only honoring those who deserve recognition, but emphasizing the value of individual participation in the success of local schools. More information on each inductee to the Lewis-Palmer Hall of Fame will be published here in coming weeks before the ceremony.

even slower. “We’ve lived in our house for 15 years and that’s the most rain I’ve seen since we moved in,” Fleischmann said. “I’ve never seen a sustained rain like that in the (30plus years) I’ve lived in this area.” Fleischmann added that it was still raining hard at his house when he went to bed around midnight. According to the National Weather Ser-
vice in Pueblo, a weather spotter about five miles southeast of Monument recorded 3.12 inches of rain by 7 p.m. The rain caused several streets across the Pikes Peak region to close because of flooding; including portions of Voyager Parkway near North Gate Blvd. Businesses in that area reported that business was slower than usual because of the storm. Nanette Anderson, the public information officer for Academy District 20, was in contact with schools in the North Gate area regarding possible damage. She said there were no reports of damage, but that there was still standing water in some areas as late as 3 p.m.
changed it up a little bit, but it looks like I’ll have some more opportunities.” The Titans lost the bulk of their offensive line. The only true returning starter is Josh Dillon. “Our big question mark right now is the O-line,” TCA coach David Bervig said. “We don’t have 200-pound guys to replace the ones we lost. We’ll be good, but we’ll be lean.” The Titans were solid defensively last year, allowing just 159 points in 11 games. They return a stable of starters, including Dillon (middle linebacker) senior Jake Frankmore (cornerback), Troupe (safety), Register (cornerback), senior Ethan Clark (linebacker) senior Trevor Bussiere (cornerback) and senior Kyle Jacobs (safety).

MAD RUSH TO BOISE
The Dec. 20 men’s basketball game between Idaho and Idaho State could draw an unusual amount of fans from the Tri-Lakes area. That’s because two recent LewisPalmer grads will square off in a non-conference game at Cowan Spectrum. Justin Smith is a 6-foot-6 swingman for the Idaho State Bengals, who are located in Pocatello. Smith’s teammate on two LewisPalmer state championship teams was Jordan Scott, who is a 6-6 swingman for the Boise-based Idaho Vandals. “I’m looking forward to it,” Scott said.

Discovery Canyon senior Jackson Spalding has already received a scholarship offer from the Air Force Academy to compete on its track team. “The Air Force said they would blue-chip me in,” Spalding said. “All I have to do is fill out the paperwork.” Spalding won Class 4A state championships last spring in the shot put and discus. He is a starting two-way lineman on the Thunder football team.

Other players to watch are junior linebackers Dakota Yourkowski, Chucky Calvert, senior linebacker Gabe Pierce and sophomore linebacker Bryce Dalrymple. “Bryce has some great instincts,” Bervig said. “He’s going to be someone to watch.” Jacobs has the unenviable task of taking over the kicking duties for Carlson, who is now at Auburn. Jacobs is no slouch. He is ranked in the Top 25 in the nation by Kohl’s Football Kicking Camps. “Daniel taught me a lot, so I think I can replace him pretty well, but it will be hard to live up to that expectation,” said Jacobs, who has booted field goals up to 55 yards in practice. The Titans open their season Thursday at home against Coronado in a 7 p.m. start. Coronado dominated Pueblo Centennial, 43-0, in its season opener on Aug. 23. “We’re not a secret anymore,” Bervig said. “There’s not an easy one in the bunch in the in our non-league games. I don’t know if we’ll be 9-0 again.”
