‘Santa on Patrol’ delivers 1,500 toys, gift cards to area families

By Bill [email protected]

It’s one of those heartwarming/heartbreaking events for Monument Police Chief Jake Shirk: his annual role as the Jolly Old Elf.

On Dec. 19, Shirk donned a red and white suit and, accompanied by his wife portraying Mrs. Claus in a matching outfi t, led the annual “Santa on Patrol” with the help of fi rst responders from the Tri-Lakes region.

Sirens could be heard for blocks as the cara-van made its way from an apartment complex

to mobile home parks and the homes of needy families in the area.

“I had up to 200 kids waiting at one trailer park,” Shirk said. “Th ey heard the sirens coming through town and they started gathering because this has become a tradition on the Saturday before Christmas.”

Before the three-hour patrol was over, Shirk and his helpers gave away 1,500 toys and $800 in donated gift cards.

“It’s so awesome to bring joy to the kids and their parents,” Shirk said. “But it’s also very sad

Lundeen plans to elevate Monument issues in upcoming legislative sessionBy Bill [email protected]

When the Colorado Gen-eral Assembly convenes Jan. 13, some hot topics locally, like methadone dispensaries, local control over education and highway widening, will jump onto the radar of state lawmakers.

State Rep. Paul Lundeen, R-Monument, intends to elevate all three topics among his colleagues, and before Gov. John Hickenlooper, as the legislative session begins.

“I’ll be very active in edu-cation, in making sure we’re getting parents the control and authority they should have over the education and upbringing of their children,” said Lundeen, a former chair-man of the state Board of Education.

He intends to seek money to increase salaries for teach-ers while reducing the “data generation and data collec-tion” that has dominated education in recent years.

“We need a crystal-clear focus on recruiting and promoting great teachers and leaders,” Lundeen said. “It’s all about what’s happening in the classroom.”

Th en there’s the issue of widening Interstate 25 north of Monument, which Lun-deen has been sparring with Hickenlooper over in recent months.

“Another theme will be transportation,” Lundeen said. “I’ll continue to push very vigorously to improve the transportation infrastructure,

particularly the I-25 corridor between Monument and Castle Rock.”

He stressed he isn’t inter-ested in any fi nancing gim-micks such as those suggested last year by Hickenlooper that failed and left the region without money to widen the congested stretch of interstate.

“Th e widening has to be done within the confi nes of the budget structure,” Lun-deen said. “We should not be creating shenanigans within the budget to do those things.”

Lundeen said his ex-change of letters with the governor, reported in Th e Tribune, led to conversations that he deemed promising.

“Th e attention we’re giving this issue is having a result,” Lundeen said. “We’ve

made progress making sure that section of road is at the top of the list the governor would be willing to lobby for when it comes time to lobby for funds. Th e governor is becoming more clear in his language when it comes to prioritizing projects.”

Of acute interest to Monu-ment residents is Lundeen’s plan to address the licens-ing of proposed methadone dispensaries like the one that Colonial Management Group of Orlando, Fla., is trying to open downtown across from Limbach Park near schools and churches.

“It’s very important that we protect small Colorado communities from what we saw happen in Monument,”

Trustees start 2016 by considering increase in water ratesBy Bill Vogrin

[email protected]

Average water rates in Monument would jump about 50 percent in 2016 and then climb 8 percent each of the next fi ve years under a proposal made to the Board of Trustees at its Jan. 4 meeting.

People using 3,000 gallons of water or less a month would pay a fl at monthly rate of $40 under the proposed 2016 rate struc-ture. Th e base would be part of a fi ve-tier rate system, if adopted.

Under the plan, the average monthly bill during the winter would jump from $33.75 currently to about $52, or a 54 per-cent increase. Th at is based on an average of 5,000 gallons of water used a month.

During the summer months, when

water use is much heavier, the average bill would jump from $88.66 currently to $134 in 2016, or a 51 percent increase. Th at is based on an average of 14,000 gallons used per month.

Customers using 3,001-6,000 gallons a month would pay an extra $6 per 1,000 gallons. Th ose using 6,001-12,000 would pay an additional $9 per 1,000 gallons over 6,000.

Anyone using 12,001-24,000 gallons a month would pay $11 per 1,000 gallons over 12,000. Th ose using 24,000 gallons and more would pay a $12.25 surcharge per 1,000 gallons above the threshold.

Th ose rates would climb 8 percent in 2017 and each subsequent year until 2021.

Th e increases would stabilize the water system, giving the water enterprise fund cash it needs to repay debt, replace aging

infrastructure and to pay for expansion, Town Manager Chris Lowe said in explain-ing the proposal.

Lowe, who craft ed the rate proposal as one of his fi rst major projects upon taking offi ce in October, said Monument has no choice but to adjust rates upward to refl ect the true cost of providing water to the 1,000 homes and businesses on the west side of Interstate 25 served by the town water utility.

He said the rate hikes will allow the town water enterprise fund to repay the $400,000 borrowed from the town’s gen-eral fund bank account in recent years to keep the water enterprise solvent.

Town water customers have experi-enced only a minimal increase in 2014

New advice on who qualifi es for cholesterol-lowering statinsBy LAURAN NEERGAARDAP Medical Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) _ Considering a cholesterol-lowering statin to prevent a heart attack? Deciding who’s a good candidate requires calculating more than a simple cholesterol level.

A government task force says the popular medications will be of most benefi t to some people ages 40 to 75 whose risk of cardiovas-cular disease over the next decade is at least 10 percent. But Monday’s draft guidelines from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force left some wiggle room, saying certain patients who aren’t at quite as high a risk still might benefi t and should weigh the pros and cons for themselves.

``Th e benefi t from statins is going to be the largest in the people who are at the highest risk,’’ explained Dr. Douglas Owens, a Stanford Uni-versity professor and task force member.

Th e recommendations are similar to contro-versial 2013 guidelines from the American Heart

Association and American College of Cardiol-ogy.

Here are some things to know about making the statin decision.

WHAT ARE STATINS?Lipitor, Crestor, Zocor and other statins

have been the standard treatment for lowering cholesterol for more than 20 years, working by curbing its production in the liver. Statins generally lower cholesterol levels by about 25 to 35 percent. Th ey’ve long been recommended for people who already have heart disease. Th e big-ger question is who should use them to prevent heart disease in the fi rst place.

WHO SHOULD GET THEMTh e task force said doctors should off er a

statin to adults ages 40 to 75 who either smoke or have high cholesterol, suff er from high blood pressure or diabetes and also have at least a 10 percent risk of a heart attack or stroke over the next 10 years.

Th at’s a complicated checklist. What if peo-

ple meet all the criteria except the 10-year risk? Th ose whose 10-year risk is at least 7.5 percent might still benefi t from a statin, but they should discuss it with their doctor and make their own decision, the task force concluded. (Th e most common side eff ect is muscle pain and damage.)

As for people over 75, the task force said there’s not enough evidence to tell if they’d ben-efi t from statins to prevent heart disease.

HOW TO CALCULATE RISKTh e task force endorsed usage of an online

calculator available through the American Heart Association’s web site.

Doctors plug in information about the patient’s age, sex, race and other health condi-tions in addition to the level of LDL cholesterol, the so-called bad kind. Th at’s because recent research shows the combination of factors is par-ticularly important _ that someone who might not have qualifi ed for statins on the basis of an LDL level alone could benefi t if other factors raise their overall risk.

``We recommend that people between 40 and 75 have an assessment of their cardiovas-cular risk and that’s not just triggered by your cholesterol,’’ Owens said.

WHAT OTHER GUIDELINES SAYTh e 2013 guidelines from the heart associa-

tion and college of cardiology recommended that doctors consider statins in people ages 40 to 75 whose 10-year risk is 7.5 percent or higher. Th ose guidelines were controversial because they made millions more Americans eligible for statins than older recommendations that focused more on cholesterol levels.

While Monday’s task force conclusion was that people at higher risk get more benefi t, the two sets of advice are consistent, said American Heart Association spokesman Dr. Donald Lloyd-Jones of Northwestern University.

Monday’s recommendations are open for public comment through January 25.

Forest Service to hire 600 area workersLOVELAND, Colo. (AP) _ Th e U.S. For-

est Service is planning to hire more than 600 temporary employees to work in the Rocky Mountain Region.

Th e Loveland Reporter-Herald reports (http://goo.gl/pSr4ip ) the jobs will include fi re protection, trail management, forestry, engineering, wildlife, recreation, fi sheries,

archaeology and administrative support work.Th e application period will be Jan. 7

through Jan. 14 for wildland fi re positions and other early season, non-fi re temporary positions; early February for most non-fi re temporary positions in recreation, fi sheries, forestry and engineering; and early March for other positions.

Forest services considers road closuresDENVER (AP) _ Th e U.S. Forest Service has agreed to consider closing 500 miles of roads for motorized vehicles in the Pike-San Isabel National Forest under a settlement with environmental groups.Th e Denver Post reports (http://dpo.st/1Og9QGp ) the settlement accepted Monday requires forest offi cials to also consult with state wildlife experts to determine whether changes must be made to protect

deer and elk.Th e settlement is the result of a lawsuit fi led by environmental groups, which challenged roads that land managers had improperly allowed in mountains near Front Range cities.Some of the roads up for debate, near Leadville and Pikes Peak, cut across streams where banks are eroding habitat for lynx, spotted owls and other wildlife.Forest offi cials say they'll produce a plan detailing where motorized vehicles can travel without harming the environment.

Lundeen said of the summer turmoil surrounding the methadone dispensary.

“We are going to run a bill to clarify licensing policy in Colo-rado.”

Lundeen said current law is vague in the way it defi nes a methadone dispensary.

And he wants the track records of dispensary owners in other states to be taken into account when they are licensed in Colo-rado.

Th at provision would be signifi cant because Colonial encoun-tered signifi cant regulatory discipline at dispensaries it operated in other states.

“I want to make sure our licensing process is attentive to broad issues such as whether they had challenges elsewhere,” he said. “Th at history should be relevant to licensing here. But our licensing process is inadequate in that aspect. We need to close that loophole so that we protect communities in Colorado in the future.”

For example, a Colonial clinic in Alabama was fi ned for losing 3,400 doses of methadone. Offi cials in Minnesota and Texas cited Colonial-owned clinics with dozens of infractions. One clinic lost its license.

And he believes Colorado licensing rules need to be more specifi c about where clinics are allowed.

“We want to make sure, through the state licensing process, that dispensaries are kept a safe distance from sensitive places like schools, churches and parks,” Lundeen said. “We need to deter-mine what is appropriate to protect our communities.”

He said the bill would not try to outlaw methadone dispensa-ries.

“I simply want to protect the public safety while being sensi-tive to the fact we want to off er a hand up to people battling addiction,” Lundeen said. “We need to be charitable in how we do it and prudent.”

Lundeen Continued from page 1

since the last major adjustment about 20 years ago, Lowe said.

Under a draft water rate proposal, unveiled in October, customers would have paid $60 for the fi rst 6,000 gallons used each month. But Lowe said it was unfair to people living alone or using much less water a month.

“We’ve tried to work in concepts of equity and conserva-tion into the fee structure,” Lowe said in describing the proposal in December.

So he rewrote the plan, start-ing with a 3,000 gallon base and the $40 fl at fee.

“We’re recommending the board set 3,000 gallons as the break point for water use,” Lowe said. “We need a base rate that covers expenses and master plan projects in the future.”

If the rate plan is adopted, Monument water users would pay about 1 cent per gallon of water used.

Lowe said Monument’s water customers have enjoyed such un-reasonably low rates that it has led to some using far more than the average.

“We have some residential

customers using 24,000 gal-lons in one month,” he said in December.

So he wants a rate structure that doesn’t penalize low-volume users and encourages conserva-tion by requiring those who use more water to pay for the privilege.

Since Monument’s last major rate increase, there have been expensive new testing requirements imposed by the Environmental Protection Agency as well as upgrades in the infrastructure that have not been routinely passed down to customers.

Th e town operates four treat-ment plants and nine wells. And town offi cials anticipate the need to drill a new well in the coming year or two, at a cost of $1.5 mil-lion, given a projected growth rate of 3 percent.

Another possibility is build-ing a treatment plant to recycle used water rather than simply dumping treated water down Monument Creek. And Lowe wants to explore buying water rights, building a reservoir or maybe even pipeline options.

‘Operation Deep Freeze’ to simulate blizzard disasterFor The Tribune

About 400 people and emergency crews from the Black Forest, Donald Wescott, Falcon, and Tri-Lakes/Monument fi re protection dis-tricts, El Paso County Search and Rescue, the American Red Cross, the Salvation Army and American Medical Response will descend on northern El Paso County on Saturday, Jan. 9.

Th e community can expect to see Colorado National Guard, ambulances and El Paso County Search and Rescue vehicles on the northern El

Paso county roads during the exercise.Th ey will all be taking part in an emergency

operation dubbed “Deep Freeze” simulating a blizzard that has stranded dozens of motorists, who will be played by 100 volunteer actors.

Th e drill will start at 9 a.m. and conclude at 3 p.m. and is a joint operation of the El Paso County Offi ce of Emergency Management, the Colorado Division of Homeland Security Emergency Management, the Colorado National Guard and several other local agencies including St. Francis Medical Center.

“Th is exercise will test the cooperative response and recovery capabilities among state, county and local agencies when it comes to public safety,” said Jim Reid, executive director of El Paso County Public Services. “Once it’s over, we will take time to evaluate the exercise and identify any areas that can be improved as we strive to do the best we can for the citizens of El Paso County.”

Th e volunteer “victims” will be “rescued” by members of the Colorado National Guard or El Paso County Search and Rescue and transported

either to a Red Cross Shelter or via an AMR ambulance for transportation to St. Francis, which will be testing its emergency procedures and Incident Command System. Th e Salvation Army will also test its emergency operations procedures by providing hot meals to exercise volunteers gathered at the staging area.

Th e local exercise is being coordinated with a state-wide exercise and similar exercises will be taking place simultaneously in Alamosa and Evans.

A few days before Christmas, I got a call from a friend in Colorado Springs who asked me to drop by his office.

It was Dave Munger, executive director of the Council of Neighbors and Organizations, or CONO.

CONO is one of those great organizations that exists to make the world a better place. In CONO’s case, that means building communities by improving individual neighborhoods. Its work stretches across the Pikes Peak region from the Palmer Divide to the towns up Ute Pass and across Teller County.

CONO is a nonprofit that serves as an umbrella group for all manner of neighborhood organizations and homeowners associa-tions.

Dave has been overseeing CONO for about eight years now, carrying on the work of predecessors like Jan Doran, who built CONO into a powerful voice for neighborhoods in the Pikes Peak region.

I’ve long admired Jan and Dave and others at CONO who work at the grassroots level of our communities, our neighbor-hoods, and try to make life better by giving voice to otherwise anonymous residents who otherwise would get trampled by development or ignored by bureaucrats in their desires for peace and quiet and safe places for their kids to play.

They are optimistic and passionate and determined and I think they make a big difference in the quality of life in our neigh-borhoods. I’ve always been impressed at how much of themselves they give to absolute strangers, attending meetings day and night to intervene in neighborhood squabbles, to help fledgling neigh-borhood groups organize and to speak up at public hearings on

behalf of neighborhoods.Dave is fond of sharing his vision of CONO. And

he really believes it when he says neighborhoods are the building blocks of cities and counties, and the basic unit of democracy.

CONO’s mission is to protect and preserve neigh-borhoods within the Pikes Peak region. He believes in educating residents, helping them and encouraging them to create strong, tolerant and diverse communi-ties.

One of the major thrusts of CONO’s work over the years is to aid neighborhoods in working with government and public and private organizations to strengthen the public process.

I figured Dave called because he had an idea for a story about CONO’s work in the Tri-Lakes area.

But that wasn’t why Dave wanted to see me at all.Turns out, we are members of a mutual admiration

society. Dave admires the work I’ve done the past 20 years or so in the region as a journalist, fighting City Hall on behalf of the underdogs.

He likes how I’ve used my writing to defend neigh-bors from bullies either living next door or running the community homeowners association.

And how I’ve given a voice to those who feel ignored, like the folks trying to sound a warning about a methadone dispensary that was about to open across from a park and near schools in downtown Monu-ment.

Or how I trumpet groups like Grow Smart Monu-ment and encourage them to get involved and make a difference in their local government to improve the quality of life for all.

Dave is such a fan he honored me with a beautiful engraved crystal statue, engraved with my name and the title “2015 Neighborhood Champion.”

I was stunned when I opened the box and took out the statue and heard the things Dave said as he

announced that I was CONO’s “first recipient of the Neighborhood Champion award.”

He credited my “dedicated interest as a journalist in im-proving our community, and his awareness that neighbor-hoods are an important key to healthy community life.”

In addition, he praised my work for recognizing neigh-borhoods as an important key to healthy community life.

CONO, he said, appreci-ated my work as a watchdog on behalf of neighbors.

“Bill has always been alert to the good things that neigh-bors do for each other and to the abuses that some misguided HOA officials and neigh-borhood residents have occasionally inflicted on their fellow residents,” he said.

“Thanks to Bill’s timely, honest and perceptive report-ing, most of the onerous behavior has been quickly corrected.

“We are grateful for his willingness to act on his understand-ing that the way we treat each other should always be based on fairness, compassion and common sense.”

Over the years, I’ve won a lot of awards. It’s nice to win. But I always said I didn’t get into this business to win awards. I want to help people with my writing.

I’ve tried, over the years, to shine a light on injustice. Help out widows whose homes are threatened by landslides. Get wheelchair ramps built for elderly neighbors. Convince city government to install a guardrail on a dangerous curve in a vulnerable neighbor-hood. Win long-overdue recognition for blacks who overcame extreme racism to become champions in baseball and in life.

The gratitude of readers has sustained me and encouraged me all these years.

But I gotta admit, the CONO award is special. It means I must be doing something right.

I am really proud and grateful for the recognition from Dave and CONO. And it makes me even more determined to keep fighting, to keep building community with my words.

So thanks, Dave, and CONO. I deeply appreciate the honor.

Common people walk through history. History, however, is a recording of uncommon deeds.

And speaking of walks through history — one of my favorite historic characters lived and walked all over this part of Colorado for many years.

Patrick Murphy homesteaded near Highway 83, about 6 miles east of Monument, and was known to take off hiking just about anywhere. One of his favorite strolls was reportedly the stage route from Monument to Florissant.

Born the day before St. Paddy’s Day, 1821, in County Cork, Ireland, Murphy hit New York on the East Coast of U.S. in 1864 after 14 days on an old steamer named the “Kangaroo.” Once on dry land again, he took off walking, according to Lucille Lavelett, author of “Through the Years at Monument, Colorado.”

He said he left Ireland one afternoon in April “to see the pretty girls and finery in America.”

From New York, he walked to Nashville, Tenn., then on to St. Louis, then up the Mississippi River and on to Fort Lewis.

Perhaps because he was too busy walking, he never married.A small, wiry man of maybe 100 pounds when soaking wet,

Murphy was kept out of the regular Army by his citizen status, but he served Union troops as a cook in the Civil War.

When he walked into this country and reached the Palmer Divide about 1870, he reportedly decided it was home because of the tall, thick grass and the many bison still in the area.

He eventually acquired more than 1,100 acres in the Spring Valley area and lived there in a two-room cabin he built, with a

huge fireplace on one end, un-til he rented it to rancher Tom Long after his 100th birthday.

Despite the distance to his homestead, he was seen almost every day in Monument.

Shortly after establishing himself, he walked back to Bent’s Fort and convinced his long-time friend, Joe Petti-grew, to join him here in the Divide Country. Joe did, also homesteading near Highway 83, and raising his family on the ranch there.

Murphy left his property to the Pettigrews when he died July 3, 1926, at 105 years, four months and 13 days.

Irish Pat was known to walk all the way to Fountain to buy a cow, or Denver to file pa-pers, Colorado Springs to sell eggs, and he prided himself on being the first-paying cus-tomer of St. Francis Hospital when he was treated for blood poisoning in his hand, when it was still a boxcar on the railroad tracks in Colorado Springs.

“If some neighbor came along with a team and asked him if he wanted a ride he would say: ‘No thanks, I haven’t the time. I’m in a hurry.’” Lavelett wrote, and he would continue on, outwalking the team of horses.

“When he passed away at age 105, he was the oldest member of the Knights of Columbus in the world, the oldest man in the state of Colorado, and the oldest rancher in the state of Colorado... he lived on his ranch until he was 101.” wrote Lavelett.

“At 101 he ran a race in the main street of Monument with a man many years his junior and won, and danced at a dinner given in his honor that night.

“At 102, Mr. Murphy climbed halfway to the summit of Pikes Peak and was only dissuaded from completing the trip through the intercession of a younger man who was accompanying him who told Murphy he was giving out.”

Uncommon deeds indeed. Murphy was a practicing Catholic and parishioner of St. Peter Catholic Church in Monument, and is buried (near his ranch) in Spring Valley Cemetery in southern Douglas County.

I recently found a description of Monument as it was at the end of 1888. There are some interesting things in it.

Monument was first considered a town in the 1870's, but not formally organized with a city government until the 1890's. In

1888, the town's population was around 200.In 1888, there was activity along the newly finished Santa Fe

railroad tracks east of town. The railroad had built a large set of pens for shipping sheep and cattle. This is the earliest I have found of the shipments like that.

The town was working on developing a water system. Most of the homes had wells, but the railroad was working on building a lake for cutting ice west of town. Perhaps that water could serve the town's water needs.

Business-wise, the town boasted of having a general merchan-dise store, two grocery stores, a clothing store, a meat market, a blacksmith shop, billiard hall, and two hotels.

One of the newest hotels was built near the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad station. There were no saloons.

Even though there were two railroads in the area, one other was mentioned, the Missouri Pacific, which actually used the Rio Grande's track between Pueblo and Denver.

There were big plans for a new, larger Denver & Rio Grande station. The small station that had been built in 1872 was looking pretty sad. The railroad had to compete with the Santa Fe now. The idea of their own set of stock pens was also quite important.

That new station was built, and larger than the Santa Fe's. As the first railroad in town, they were looked at as being prominent citizens. There was even talk of building a branch line west to an area to be developed as a quarry.

It was hoped that a county commissioner from this area could help promote that project. Some things never change! Since I have found no other mention of this development.

because I see the huge need that exists here. It really is heartbreaking.”

Shirk has been doing it every year since 1993 when he worked for the Aurora Police Department and death threats caused area shopping malls to cancel their tradi-tional “Come meet Santa Claus” events.

“I was so mad, I set up as Santa in the rotunda of a mall in Aurora with my SWAT team as security,” he said. “Everybody who came to see Santa had to go through a metal detector.”

The next year, there were no threats to scare away department store Santas. But Shirk had been so moved by the experience he went out as Santa on his own with a patrol car to visit the area’s needy.

He brought Santa on Patrol to Monument when he took over the police force in 2005 and it has grown each year since.

This year, in fact, may have been the biggest ever.Escorted by two engines from the Tri-Lakes

Monument Fire Department, an ambulance as well as police and firefighters from Palmer Lake and Monu-ment, Shirk and crew put on quite a show with all the emergency vehicles flashing their lights as they made the rounds.

It helps that the community gets behind Shirk and his “Santa on Patrol” efforts, from Monument Mayor Rafael Dominguez on down to dozens of volunteers.

“This year, we had $700 in cash so I went to Walmart with the mayor and we spoke to the manager who agreed to match our cash,” Shirk said. “We had $1,400 to buy gifts with!”

Even better was the surprise he got while filling Santa’s sleigh with gifts.

“While I was in Walmart, I recognized a young woman working there,” Shirk said. “Years ago, she had been a recipient of Santa on Patrol. She remembered me, too. It was really special to see her as a young adult, out on her own.”

Seeing her balanced the pain he experienced as he got up close and personal with the poverty in the region.

Shirk said he takes St. Nick on patrol because many of the kids he visits don’t ever visit a mall or get the experience of sitting on Santa’s lap and telling him their dreams and wishes.

“The kids I’m dealing with don’t go anywhere,” he said. “If I don’t go to them, they won’t see Santa. It’s important to go to them on their turf.”

He said it’s obvious to him the families appreciate his efforts.

“Every time we stop, we sit down and greet the kids,” Shirk said. “There’s nothing more satisfying than to see these kids get so excited. They run and jump on your lap and give you a big hug.

“Then you see their parents in tears because they don’t have any money and what we do for them is their Christmas. I gave them gift cards to help them with buying food.”

Shirk said it’s one of the most gratifying things he does, even if it’s bittersweet.

“What an opportunity it is to serve our community,” he said. “And it’s a great for the community to see their police officers out there providing a service.

“You know, for some of the kids, this might be the one good interaction they are having with police and it may have an influence on them the rest of their lives.”

Santa Continued from page 1


You’ve got to be a real idiot to go ice fi shing.A moron. An imbecile. You’ve really got to be a jackass to plop

your buttocks onto an upside-down bucket on a frozen lake, star-ing for hours down a hole in the ice -- a jerk on one end of the line waiting for a jerk on the other end. You really have to be a dimwit. A buff oon.

I go about twice a week.Eleven Mile Reservoir is the place, the frigid temperatures and

howling Rocky Mountain wind combining to make a typical day on the ice seem colder than Donald Trump’s heart.

(Th at was, of course, just a joke. If I off ended any of you loyal Trump supporters I sincerely apologize. Not just to you, but also to the 114 cats that live with you in the trailer that has a “Pro-tected By Smith & Wesson” window sticker, like someone would actually want to break in.)

Anyway, I oft en go on these ice-fi shing adventures alone, as most of my friends have real jobs, families and actual lives and cannot get away as oft en as someone like me, who does not have what you would call a “real job” and spends his time “puttering” around the house and “eating tomato soup, cold, right out of the can, without a spoon.”

Frankly, if it weren’t for having to rinse out the drinking straw and scrape the hundreds of spitballs off the TV screen aft er each appearance by Mr. Trump, I wouldn’t have any life at all.

Here many of you – my loyal and devoted readers, friends really, who followed me in the Colorado Springs Gazelle, the In-dependent, the Rocky Mountain News and the Denver Post – are now asking: “So, Roger, what happened to the ice fi shing column

you seemed to be writing a long time ago?”Good point. Here’s how it works. I leave in the pre-dawn

darkness, stopping at the Donut Mill in Woodland Park for a reasonably sized chocolate donut that, according to nutritionists, contains roughly 12.8 million calories. And an extra large coff ee. Aft er the ensuing 15-20 frantic restroom stops, I arrive at the reservoir and drag my ice fi shing equipment out onto the ice.

Th is includes several fi shing rods that – trust me here – fi t perfectly down the holes you’ve drilled when you accidentally kick them just right.

I also have a lightweight tent-like ice shelter that, like Donald Trump in church, breaks wind. As a bonus, at the end of the day when you remove the last ice anchor, the $250 tent generally blows away and you get to see it, through binoculars, as it picks up speed and goes over the dam.

Have I mentioned the cold? Once, my lovely wife, Susie, gave ice fi shing a try. When we arrived at Eleven Mile, the thermom-eter thing in my truck said it was 22 degrees below zero. I am not kidding. I said we should give it a try anyway and out she went, the little trooper, for fi ve hours on the ice.

Th at was 12 years ago. She hasn’t ever gone again and she gets a creepy, Satanic look in her eyes when I even mention ice fi shing.

Anyway, aft er drilling a few holes with a gas-powered auger, you lower a lure or a mealworm, stare down the hole and wait.

And if you’re a real fi sherman, you cling hard to the belief that maybe one day, when the moon is waning and the barometric pressure is steady and the stars are aligned just so, the unimagi-nable will happen.

Th at’s right. Your wife will speak to you again.

40 YEARS AGO – JAN. 8, 1976 IN THE TRI-LAKES TRIBUNE

Th e Monument town council was told the town’s water rates could be adjusted upwards and still be in line with those of other communities across the state.

Raising the cost of 1,000 gallons of water from the current 50¢ to 85¢ and adjusting tap fees from $600 for a ¾” tap $1,000 would bring the munici-pality at least another $10,000 in annual revenue.

Th e additional income would provide a base for the fi nancing of a capital improvement program. Monument’s current water revenue amounts to $23,000 a year.

Town attorney Th omas Cross said the town should research the possibility of acquiring addi-tional water rights before making plans for capital improvements.

Four men who have retired from offi ce as members of the Parish Council of Church of Woodmoor received a book called “We Really Do Need Each Other” written by Dr. Reuben Welch. Th ose receiving the book were Michael B. Tims, Brock H, Leach, Lt. Col. Phillip D. Cain and Chaplain James W. Chapman.

Editor’s note: This is the first of a four-part series. There are three constants you can count on from the world of

health and fitness in 2016. First: The debate will continue to rage among researchers

about the importance of body weight, with the answer depending on who is funding the research.

Second: Regardless whether you are overweight or under-weight, sick or healthy, young or old, researchers will consistently provide data demonstrating that regular exercise can improve the quality of your life.

Third: A sedentary lifestyle will remain a primary risk factor for myriad disease processes.

Here's the good news … the health and fitness benefits of ex-ercise are front-end loaded. A moderate amount of exercise reaps the majority of the benefits.

Numerous studies have demonstrated that the lower your fitness level, the greater your health benefits with any increase in activity.

Research has consistently shown that regular exercise has a positive impact on heart disease, cancer, hypertension, diabetes, osteoporosis, arthritis, high cholesterol, obesity, menopause, chronic pain, resistance to illness and injury, flexibility, balance, posture, mental health and overall quality of life.

The two biggest mistakes people make in starting an exercise program are setting unrealistic goals and doing “too much, too soon.” You didn’t get out of shape overnight and you’re not going to get “buff ” overnight either.

It’s important to set attainable

short-term goals that err on the side of being conservative.

Forget about getting into your high school cheerleading outfit

or old football jersey and focus on improving your energy level,

reducing your aches and pains and achieving a sense of well-being.

If weight loss is one of your objectives, set a goal of losing no more than 10 percent of your existing weight. If you

lose an average of a pound a week, you’re doing great! When it comes to your

exercise routine, avoid the classic mistake of doing “too much, too

soon.” Getting in shape is like eating an elephant … you can only do it one bite at a time.

Here’s a physical activity readiness questionnaire from the American College of Sports Medicine to help you determine your suitability for beginning an exercise routine:

• Has your doctor ever said you have a heart condition?• Do you have chest pain during physical activity or have

you had any chest pain in the past month?• Do you get dizzy or have a balance problem?• Do you have a bone or joint problem that could be made

worse by physical activity?• Are you currently taking medication for your blood

pressure or a heart condition?• Do you know of any reason you should not participate

in physical activity?

If you answered “yes” to more than one of the questions; if you are over 40; if you have been physically inactive; or if you are concerned about your health, consult your physician prior to

substantially increasing your physical activity. Stay tuned during the month of January for the “skinny” on

getting started in an exercise program.

Local mom rides in Rose Parade to honor daughter’s giftIn last week’s issue of the Tribune, we wrote about Gail Gallagher, who rode on the Donate for Life fl oat in the Rose Parade on New Year’s Day. Gallagher was rid-ing to honor the memo-ry of her daughter, Kate Gallegher, who became a multiple organ donor upon her death in 2012.

Gallagher hopes that the worldwide popular-ity of the Rose Parade will help raise awareness of the rampant need for organ donors. She encourages people to decide now rather than later if they are willing to become donors; one donor can aff ect more than 50 recepient lives.

Forest services considers road closuresDENVER (AP) _ Th e U.S. Forest Service has agreed to consider closing 500 miles of roads for mo-

torized vehicles in the Pike-San Isabel National Forest under a settlement with environmental groups.Th e Denver Post reports (http://dpo.st/1Og9QGp ) the settlement accepted Monday requires for-

est offi cials to also consult with state wildlife experts to determine whether changes must be made to protect deer and elk.

Th e settlement is the result of a lawsuit fi led by environmental groups, which challenged roads that land managers had improperly allowed in mountains near Front Range cities.

Some of the roads up for debate, near Leadville and Pikes Peak, cut across streams where banks are eroding habitat for lynx, spotted owls and other wildlife.

Forest offi cials say they'll produce a plan detailing where motorized vehicles can travel without harming the environment.

Are kids gravitating away from football due to concussion concerns?

In a span of a few months, Joe DeCoud suff ered two football-related concussions during his sophomore year at Lewis-Palmer High School. Th at was enough to prompt his parents to put an end to their son’s football career.

“My dad was a doctor and he said it would be smart if I played basketball my last two years of high school,” said DeCoud, who was a quarterback and tight end, and also a member of the special teams. “It was probably smart for me to stop playing. But look-ing back on it, I wish I would have played because I really liked football.”

On Christmas Day, the movie “Concussion,” starring Will Smith, was released in movie houses nationwide. Smith plays Dr. Bennet Omalu, the forensic pathologist who fought against eff orts by National Football League to suppress his research on the brain damage suff ered by professional football players.

Th e fi lm also stars Alec Baldwin, Albert Brooks, Luke Wilson and Gugu Mbatha-Raw.

Smith was on the cover of the Dec. 28 issue of Sports Illus-trated.

“Th e fact that it’s a movie it will get a lot of exposure, and Will Smith is always good,” DeCoud said “If it’s true, I’m sure it will have an impact.”

While DeCoud had another sport to fall back on, other kids seem to avoid football completely at young ages and choose sports that are seemingly safer to play.

“We get a lot of ‘em that quit football, for sure,” said Woodland Park football coach Joe Roskam, who also runs Panther Football Club, a youth organization in Teller County. “A lot of parents want their kids to play soccer.”

While statistics indicate that fewer kids are playing tackle football nationally, at least two high school soccer coaches in our region say that they have not witnessed any growth in their pro-grams as a result of kids choosing to not play football.

“I haven’t seen any correlation,” said long-time Woodland Park soccer coach Andrew Pappadakis.

Added Discovery Canyon soccer coach Flavio Mazzetti, who also runs the Corinthians soccer club: “If anything, I think fewer kids are playing soccer.”

So if soccer is not seeing growth, what sports are kids playing?“Maybe they’re playing lacrosse?” Roskam said.Not every kid who decides to stop playing football does so

because of the risk injury. Some decide to become one-sport athletes.

Jonathan Scott was a wide receiver for Lewis-Palmer through

I don’t believe most Americans needed a movie like “Concus-sion” to drill home the point that head injuries are more common in football than with any other team sport.

One can argue that concussions are more common in football in large part because helmets are basically weapons on the fi eld. Th ere is no way one player could hit another player with nearly as much force if a helmet was not involved.

“You see the way rugby players tackle each other and you hardly ever see head injuries,” Pappadakis said. “Th at’s because they’re taught how to tackle properly.”

Th e NFL has not denied the facts presented by “Concussion.” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell told reporters before the movie’s release the league is focused on making the game safer.

“We have incredible progress that has been made, not only in rule changes, but also in what we saw today with materials and protection that will prevent these injuries from happening,” Goodell said. “From protocols that we implemented, research we are doing, coaching changes we have had, in taking certain (tackling) techniques out of the game. What you are seeing is an incredible amount of progress and real impact.”

I would like to know how many parents in our communities steer their kids away from football due to concussion concerns. Shoot me an email. I would like to hear your story.

On March 16, 2013, Jonathan Scott, Joe DeCoud and Sam Strasburger were in uniform on the Lewis-Palmer bench when the Rangers won the Class 4A state basketball championship. Th ey were freshmen at the time.

A banner from that championship – the second title in a row for the program – hangs in the L-P gym.

Now seniors, the boys hope to close out their prep careers by adding another banner to the already impressive wall of fame.

“Th at 2013 team was a lot diff erent than us in a lot of ways,” said Scott, who leads the Rangers in scoring this season with 17.2 points per game. “We’re a lot more guard-oriented. Th at (2013) team was lot bigger than us.”

Strasburger (10.7 ppg, 5.3 rebounds per game) said the last four years have fl own by.“It feels like one continuous process,” he said. “We’re friends on and off the court. We bicker

sometimes, but when it gets down to it, we’re family.”Two other seniors, Charlie Hovasse and Kyle Owens, were involved with the program as fresh-

men, but were not in uniform for the 2013 state championship.Hovasse and Owens, along with Scott, DeCoud and Strasburger – all 6-foot-4 or taller – are

the cornerstones of a team that is very much in the discussion when it comes to breaking down the strongest teams in the state.

“I’m very hungry for a state title,” said DeCoud, who is averaging 9.3 points and team leading 6 rebounds per game. “We’ve all grown into our roles, whether that be defending, rebounding, scoring. Our role that we have to do to help our team win, but we still have to get better at our specifi c roles.”

L-P is off to a 5-1 start and opens the league portion of its schedule Jan. 6 at Sand Creek. Th e Pikes Peak Athletic Conference is traditionally one of best leagues in the state. Conference foe Air Academy is the defending state champion. Th e Kadets defeated L-P in last year’s Final Four in Boul-der.

Hovasse, a three-year starter, said the experience he got as a freshman made a huge impact on his career and has helped make him a better player.

“I came to a lot of practices to see what the players like Jordan Scott and Justin Smith did,” said Hovasse who is second on the team in scoring with 14.2 ppg. “I learned the pace of the varsity level and you have to play a lot smarter and at a higher level and make good decisions.”

Kyle Owens’ older brother, Tyler, was the starting point guard on that 2013 team.“I learned from him that you have to be a good leader on the fl oor and that no matter what you

have to push the tempo and be the guys that brings everyone together,” Kyle Owens said.A year ago, L-P lost to Sand Creek in its league opener to fall to 3-5. Th e Rangers regrouped and

won 16 of their next 18 games before losing to Air Academy by three points in the semifi nals.“We know last year we had a bunch of games we should have taken one game at a time, but we

looked ahead and lost to a team we shouldn’t have lost to,” Scott said.Added Strasburger: “We learned a lot from last year. We focus more on every game and we can’t

take anything for granted.”L-P coach Bill Benton was an assistant on that 2013 team. He took over the head reins the next

year. He doesn’t talk to his team about winning a state championship, but he does lean on his players to use their experience.

“Our seniors have played over 50 varsity games since their sophomore year, so the expectation is that they would use that experience,” he said. “Does that equate to ‘We should go get a state champi-onship?’ No. But the work that they put into it goes a long way.

“I am very proud of the work and the eff ort that this whole team has put in, and then you throw in the fact that they’re talented and this is a pretty good group.”

Public asked help track Colorado wildlife using new appBy STEVEN K. PAULSONAssociated Press

DENVER (AP) _ Colorado wildlife offi cials are trying to turn visitors to state parks and trails into amateur naturalists, creating an app that can be used to photograph animals and create a database that will be used by scientists to study whether climate change is altering the state’s habitats.

Users of iNaturalist can post their pho-tos and sounds, or view the observations of other park visitors. Th ey can also alert others about their fi nds, so people can add to their collections. Th e app is especially attractive to birdwatchers.

Th e app is available for free from Android

and iPhone stores, and can also be downloaded from the Colorado wildlife tracking web page. Th e application automatically records observa-tions with photos and GPS locations. People can also see other reports and get updates on wildlife sightings.

Steamboat Lake State Park administrator Julie Arington said it’s a great project to attract more people to Colorado parks, and get help from people who already love nature and the outdoors.

It is also an attempt to attract more people to explore state forests and trails.

``People like to share what they fi nd, and this is a chance to share. Th ey can also get help from other people identifying what they found,’’ Arington said.

In Colorado, about 60 people have turned in more than 300 observations on animals, insects and plants aft er Colorado Parks and Wildlife posted notices at 42 campgrounds and numer-ous trails asking people to document their fi ndings.

Odd reports in Colorado so far include bugs called ``Hanging Th ieves’’ that are fl ies with long legs found near Walsenburg, a Purplish Copper butterfl y with fuzzy wings found near Steam-boat Lake State Park and a rabbit-eared Albert’s Squirrel photographed near Durango.

Wildlife offi cials say if someone spots a rare or protected species, like the imperiled lynx that was reintroduced into the Colorado wilder-ness, the fi nding is reported but the details are obscured on the Internet to protect the animals

and allow wildlife specialists to check it out.Th e program is part of a larger international

project called iNaturalist.org, which has more than 130,000 members around the world who have contributed nearly 2 million observations.

International project co-founder Scott Loarie said crowdsourcing nature fi ndings can help scientists determine if climate change is aff ect-ing local species, forcing them to move to areas where they have not been found before.

Loarie said some of the fi ndings have been surprising.

He said a snail that was found and recorded in California was quickly identifi ed by natural-ists in Australia as an invasive species, allowing California to take steps to eradicate it before it can cause serious damage.

Rangers riding three-game streakL-P girls won just one game last season

By Danny [email protected]

A new attitude among the Lewis-Palmer High School girls basketball team has helped it achieve its best start in years.

And a star transfer student from a top pro-gram hasn’t hurt, either.

The Rangers are 3-3 heading into their Jan. 6 Pikes Peak Athletic Conference opener against Sand Creek, the state’s top-ranked Class 4A team.

With its next win, L-P would match its win total from the previous two seasons – combined.

The success comes as the girls have put aside bickering that doomed last year’s squad.

“We just have to keep a good attitude,” said L-P sophomore center Sami Tucker. “We just have to keep in our mind that we’re going to win. If we doubt ourselves, we’re going to lose.”

The last time Lewis-Palmer had a winning sea-son was 2008-09 when the club went 14-11 mark and earned a postseason berth. Since then, L-P girls have struggled to a combined 34-97 record.

Former Rampart star player Cayla De George took over the head coaching reins last season and elevated several freshman into key roles. The Rangers went 1-22, losing their final 17 games.

“Last year was really tough,” Tucker said. “We lost our first few games and we just kept losing and our self-esteem went down.”

The attitude of the team deteriorated amid the losing.

“Last year, we had a lot of fighting and we didn’t get along well on the court and we had different views on what was right or wrong,” said sophomore guard Preslee Enget.

“This year, we are playing together more as a team. We’re clicking better. We’re getting along better than we did last year.”

L-P began this season with consecutive losses to Harrison, Widefield and Eaglecrest. The Rang-ers had second-half leads in each game but man-aged to lose them all.

De George’s group finally broke through by winning their own tournament prior to the Christmas break with wins over Mitchell (46-17), Englewood (47-21) and Denver North (51-31).

“We were in those first three games and we

were competing and I think that has helped our confidence a little bit seeing that we weren’t getting blown out,” De George said.

“The girls have great work ethic. They want to be here. They want to be playing. They love being in the gym and that’s what it takes to achieve a higher level of success. We have a lot of player dedicated to playing year-round.”

A big reason for Lewis-Palmer’s turnaround is the addition of key transfer Kaity Hovasse, a sophomore, who started as a freshman last season for Mesa Ridge, the state’s second-ranked team in the latest CHSAA poll.

One of Hovasse’s teammates at Mesa Ridge was Louisville-bound senior Kylee Shook, who led the Grizzlies to the state title as a sophomore in 2014.

“I wasn’t (at Lewis-Palmer) last year, so I don’t know what was going through their minds,” said Hovasse, whose brother, Charlie, starts for the Lewis-Palmer boys’ team. “But I’ve heard that we have a more positive attitude this year compared to last year.”

Hovasse is second on the team in scoring average (9.5) and first in rebounds (8.7). Sopho-more Arianna Blowe leads the team in scoring (12.8) and is second in rebounds (6.3). Tucker and Enget are averaging 8.8 and 7.8 points per game, respectively.

Guard Brenna Oakey is a co-captain and the lone senior starter on the team. The only other senior is Emma Eberly.

Hovasse, the other co-captain, said it was hard to leave a successful program like Mesa Ridge, but she quickly has taken on the role of a leader.

“I feel I’ve brought leadership and confidence to this team, and just how fun the game of bas-ketball can be, whether we’re winning or losing,” Hovasse said.

Enget said it didn’t take Kaity long to gel with her new L-P teammates.

“Kaity plays every position,” Enget said with a smile. “This is a good thing. She’s been a really good addition to the team.”

Enget also believes the Rangers can make a playoff run this season.

“I can taste it,” she said. “I want to make it to the playoffs so bad. By the time we’re seniors, even juniors, we should be rolling. There’s a good chance we could have a great next few years.”

Blizzard claims Pop Warner championshipBy Danny [email protected]

The Monument Blizzard Pop Warner Pee Wee team can now add “regional champs” to its list of accomplishments for the 2015 football season.

The Blizzard won the Southwest Regional Championship in Dallas, defeating the Rio Grande Valley Texans, 19-13, in a game played on Nov. 28.

The Blizzard’s come-from-behind victory included a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns. The Blizzard’s defense pitched a shutout in the second half.

The Blizzard is comprised of 6th and 7th graders from the Tri-Lakes area, including Monument, as well as Colorado Springs, Frank-town and Peyton.

The Blizzard’s roster consists of: Ryan Ainsley, Brandon Baroni, Holden Blank, Trevor Bradley, Logan Candelaria, Connor Cook (cap-tain), Micah Davidson, William Davis (captain), Gavin Dillman, Isaac Heidel, Cameron Jones, Zion Hill, Drew Keegan, Brandon Krause-Mahan (captain), Caleb Neises, Mason Nunn, Antonio Perez, Carter Reed (captain), Ashton Sands, Tucker Terlizzi, Adam Walker and Devan Zahl.

The Blizzard had a cheer squad for the first time in a few years and most of the squad trav-eled to Dallas. The cheerleading coaches are Rachel Ainsley and Stephanie Rossoll.

The Blizzard advanced to the regionals after defeating the Loveland Titans, Oct. 24, in the Colorado championship game.

“These young men performed with honor and integrity all season long, both on and off the

field,” said Blizzard Pee Wee coach Sassan Sat-tari, who also is the president of Pikes Peak Pop Warner. “We had a very hard road. This team battled all season to develop into the Southwest Regional Champions and I couldn't be more proud of them.

“Many of these athletes train year round and have dedicated themselves to excellence throughout their lives. This is what the Monu-ment Blizzard and Pikes Peak Pop Warner are all about: developing young men and women of honor and integrity with titanium backbones and a rock solid moral compass.”

The Pee Wees boast a team GPA of 94.9 per-cent. Many are in the running for All-American Scholar National Recognition through the Pop Warner Little Scholars Program.

Blizzard football teams have enjoyed great success in recent years.

In 2013 and 2014, the Junior Midget team was Division I National Finalist (top 8 in the na-tion) and Southwest Region D1 Champion.

In 2012, the Midgets were D1 National Finalist (Top 8 in the country) and Southwest Region/League Champions. That same season the Pee Wee team advanced to the Southwest Regional quarterfinals.

Registration for next season opens March 1. Go to www.monumentblizzard.com. Early regis-tration before June 15 is highly recommended.

There will be a Monument Blizzard Open House from noon to 2 p.m. on Feb. 20 at Peoples Bank in Monument, 1899 Woodmoor Dr. This is open to the public and people can come and ask questions to the Blizzard Board of Direc-tors, hear about plans and changes for the 2016 season. Refreshments will be served.
