Traffic signals to be installed on Northgate By Lisa Collacott Parents can breathe a sigh of relief now that the busy street in front of Discovery Canyon Campus will be a little safer. The city of Colorado Springs is scheduled to install a signal light and a mid-block pedestrian only signal light on Northgate Boulevard. The lights are something that parents and school staff have wanted to see for a long time. “We’ve had numerous requests in that area,” Kathleen Krager, transportation manager for the city engineering department for Colorado Springs, said. Krager said the pedestrian signal will be installed in December and will be located on Northgate Boulevard near Old Northgate Road. Pedestrians will be able to cross Northgate Boulevard safely. James Bailey,
principal of DCC high school, said he just found out recently that the pedestrian signal will be installed next month. He said he doesn’t know the exact location of the signal but said it will most likely be east of the elementary school entrance. “The fact that we are getting a light is a real bonus. There’s no protection there. Having a pedestrian light will really help for students on the east side of Northgate,” Bailey said, adding that the installation of the flashing light for the school speed zone in front of the school has really helped. A signal light will also be installed at the intersection of Northgate Boulevard and Silverton Road which is located at the eastern edge of the school campus. Krager said that signal light is scheduled to be installed in January. The light will help with traffic flow for cars particularly traveling west on Northgate.

The pedestrian signal will allow safer access for students of DCC crossing Northgate.

Bailey said one of the long-term plans for the school is to eventually open up the Signals continues on Page 9

Hatfield blames ex-husband in boy’s death By Melanie Brubaker Mazur Special from Pine River Times
Editor’s note: The following story by Melanie Brubaker Mazur appeared in the Pine River Times Thursday, Nov. 14. It is used here with permission. On Nov. 19, 2012, her son disappeared. Eight months later, a few of his bones were found on Middle Mountain near Vallecito.
POSTAL ADDRESS
Almost a year after his disappearance, Elaine Hatfield and her fiancé, Mike Hall, and her surviving son, Cory Redwine, are holding a memorial service for Dylan Redwine, who was 13 when he disappeared. Services were at 10 a.m. Saturday at Pine Valley Church on County Road 501 north of Bayfield High School. Afterward, there was a dedication of a stone bench in Pine River Cemetery, followed by lunch at the church. In a telephone interview on Tues-
day evening (Nov. 12), Elaine Hatfield remembered the difficulty of the past year. “The worst part was finding Dylan’s bones scattered on the mountain,” she said. “But it was somewhat bittersweet, because we had found him. We promised we’d find him. But he should never have gone missing in the first place.” In June, investigators found some of his remains. They haven’t said exactly Dylan continues on Page 9
Lewis-Palmer School District Superintendent John Borman announced his retirement at a special meeting of the board of education Thursday night. Borman said his last day with the school district will be Dec. 31. He plans to pursue another professional opportunity. He said, “It’s been an incredible privilege to serve this district, both as a principal and superintendent. This is the top district in the state. We have an outstanding staff and amazing kids. I will work with the board for a seamless lead- Borman ership transition. I look forward to watching the district continue to grow and excel.” Borman has worked in the district for six and a half years, first as principal of Lewis-Palmer High School, then as superintendent since 2011. Under his leadership, District 38 has remained one of the top districts in Colorado. Board of Education President Mark Pfoff said, “This is an example of what happens when you recruit and hire great people: they get hired away. We wish all the best to Mr. Borman, and thank him for all he has done for our kids, staff, district and community.” Lewis-Palmer District 38 serves the population of Monument, Palmer Lake and the Tri-Lakes area in the northern part of El Paso County. It is accredited with distinction by the state of Colorado, and sends more than 85 percent of its students on to postsecondary education. For more on District 38, go to www.lewispalmer.org
