Tri-Lakes YMCA approved for new addition Tri-Lakes Community Health Village will open fall 2014 By Danny Summers
Dsummers@ourcoloradonews.com By the fall of 2014, the Tri-Lakes YMCA in Monument will have a new addition that will offer healthcare services and space for doctor’s offices. The project is a partnership between the YMCA, Penrose-St. Francis Health Services and Wisconsin-based
Boldt Co. A 50,000-square foot addition to the Tri-Lakes YMCA will include both urgent care and primary care offices. The new facility will be called the Tri-Lakes Community Health Village. On Oct. 23, plans for the addition were approved by the Woodmoor Improvement Association. Because the Tri-Lakes YMCA is within the boundaries of Woodmoor, its plans needed to be approved by the Architectural Control Committee and the board. Earlier this year, officials with Penrose-St. Francis considered the idea of adding a clinic in Monument,
Boldt officials approached the hospital about building a new clinic, which would be leased back to Penrose. The Tri-Lakes YMCA, which was constructed in 2008, was eventually added to the equation. The new health village will assist the YMCA in its basic goals, which include youth development, social responsibility and healthy living. The complex is expected to cost $10 to $12 million. Penrose will have about 120 people working at the facility when it’s complete.

Dwight “Ted” Bauman was approved by the Lewis-Palmer School District 38 board on Nov. 21 and will serve as the interim superintendent after John Borman leaves at the end of December. This is Bauman’s second stint as interim superintendent for the District. He previously served in that capacity from August 2010 to July 2011. Bauman was the District’s regular superintendent from 1998 through 2003. Bauman’s impressive resume includes more than 30 years in education, including eight years as assistant superintendent of the District. He originally came to the District in 1988 as an elementary school principal, and then served as assistant superintendent from Bauman 1990-98. He received his B.S. and M.A. degrees in school administration from Central Michigan University, and his Colorado Type D administrative certificate from the University of Colorado. Bauman is also involved in a number of community service activities through Monument Hill Kiwanis Club, TriLakes Cares, Tri-Lakes United Methodist Church, and the Rocky Mountain Youth Leadership Board. “Ted is familiar with how things work and will be a great benefit to everyone in the District,” Borman said. Borman isn’t just leaving Lewis-Palmer School District 38; he’s leaving education all together. On Nov. 14, Borman formally announced that he is resigning his post as the District’s superintendent. He will remain on through December 31. He is taking a position with a basketball court manufacturing company that has offices in south Denver. He will be involved with the overall planning of the facilities. “They approached me over the summer and I initially declined,” Borman said. “The opportunity was extended to me again and I decided to take it.” Borman leaves the District in good hands. Earlier this month, the District was placed in the top three percent of school districts in the nation for Advanced Placement courses for high school students. District 38 is the only district in Colorado that has been placed on the College Board Advanced Placement Honor Roll four times in a row. It is also the only district in Colorado receiving the honor this year. “I am feeling pleased about that,” Borman said. “Given all the challenges we have continued to excel.” Borman became Superintendent of Schools in June 2011. Prior to that appointment, he was the principal of LewisPalmer High School for four years. He started his career in education as a high school language arts teacher and has experience as an athletics coordinator and assistant principal. He holds a Master’s Degree in educational leadership and policy studies from University of Northern Colorado. He was awarded the Teacher of the Year award twice at Gateway High School in Aurora and the Colorado Thespians Administrator Award in 2005. Borman was also the athletic director and assistant principal at Greeley, and principal at Northridge for five years. Borman’s main focus has been to better prepare students for the 21st century. “Our students must learn to compete in a global economy,” he said. “They must know more about the world and learn to think across disciplines.”
