But cost of replacing 50 million gallons to be steep

Customers incensed at Triview offi cials

By Bill [email protected]

On Saturday, offi cials of the Triview Metro District faced dozens of angry customers at a hastily called communi-ty meeting to announce the district had lost 50 million gallons of water either to a leak or unprecedented consumption and had imposed an emergency ban on lawn irrigation on the 1,400 homes and businesses it serves in east Monu-ment.

It was an ugly meeting at Bear Creek Elementary School as customers pep-pered the offi cials with blistering criti-cism of its communications and even accused its staff of incompetence.

They were incensed the district had failed to react more quickly when lev-els in its 1.5 million-gallon storage tank fi rst plunged in early June and then sank on July 4 to just 12 inches – an his-toric low and within two hours of being empty.

Some customers were so abusive and aggressive that police were sum-moned to ensure calm as the meeting got intense. Some were angry their wa-ter was shut off. Others complained of low water pressure. Still others wanted reimbursement because their lawns were dying. Many feared their property values would suffer.

A few hours later, though, Triview

announced the crisis was over. It had located an underground leak in a sec-tion of pipe that didn’t exist on its maps. Ironically, the leak wasn’t far from the site of the community meeting.

“We found the leak,” Triview trum-peted on its website and in emails to customers Saturday evening. “We have discovered the leak and have shut valves to stop the water.”

Repairs were to begin immediately and customers were told they could begin watering their lawns again, on a restricted basis, beginning Monday.

“We will be fi xing the problem now that it has been found,” Triview said. “It may take a few days to complete.”

Best of all, levels in its water tank were steadily climbing, after sinking below 12 inches on Wednesday.

“The tank level is approaching 30 feet,” Triview said. “We are hoping to be disconnected from our emergency supply very soon.”

Turns out the water was hemorrhag-ing from a buried pipe not far from the school and gushing into a marsh along Jackson Creek.

The crisis may have ended, but the hard questions were expected to re-sume Tuesday, July 12, when Triview’s board of directors was set to meet.

The leak, which took nearly a month to identify and repair, was just another example of problems with the Triview leaders, said many in the crowd at Sat-urday’s meeting.

The fi rst restrictions were imposed three weeks ago following a sharp drop in water levels in the tank. The ban was imposed to ensure the district could

Methadone dispensaries, or any health-care clinic that does not have a full-time doctor on the premises, would be restricted to land adjacent to exit and entrance ramps of Interstate25 under a new zoning proposal for Monument.

The proposal, which was prepared by a Denver attorney who specializes in land use issues, will be presented to the Monument Board of Trustees at its July 18 meeting, one day before a morato-rium on new clinics is to expire.

Attorney Carolynne White told a sparsely attended community forum Thursday the proposal took months to craft because of the complexity of deal-ing with methadone facilities.

“We were doing a ton of research,” White told the handful of people in at-tendance.

Turns out treatment facilities for drug addiction are protected land uses and cannot be banned by a community or singled out for discriminatory zon-ing rules like buffers around churches, schools, parks or childcare facilities.

Attorney Bill Berger, who special-izes in discrimination and disability law, cautioned the town against trying to write zoning rules that apply only to clinics that treat those addicted to her-oin or opioid-based painkillers.

“Addiction is long recognized by our courts as a disability,” Berger said. “Treatment for heroin addiction is a protected land use. You can’t just say you are not going to allow methadone clinics in your city.”

Ultimately, White opted to recom-mend a series of changes including broadening the code to create fi ve dif-ferent types of health care facilities: clinics, pharmacies, professional ser-vice offi ces, health service facilities and small animal clinics.

A key is the detailed defi nitions she in-cluded for each category. A clinic, for ex-ample, under the code would distinguish between a place owned and operated by at least three physicians with a physician on the premises during business hours, and those without on-site doctors.

Most methadone dispensaries only have visiting doctors who might spend a few hours a day, at most, in a facility.

Clinics with on-site doctors could

locate in the same places now provid-ed by Monument zoning rules. Those without a doctor on sight would be rel-egated to the PCHD zone.

PCHD stands for “planned com-munity highway district” and it only currently exists near the Baptist Road access ramps to I-25. In fact, it is an obsolete zone on Monument’s land use map and would need to be revived, White said.

She said town offi cials can easily jus-tify restricting clinics without doctors to the PCHD zone.

“In a clinic without a physician on site, it is more critical that emergency personnel can easily access the clinic,” White said.

Another key to the PCHD zone is that there are places where the zone could be expanded at the Highway 105 exit near downtown.

About 5,000 commuters a day no doubt celebrated the reopening last week of Black Forest Road at Kettle Creek, north of Shoup Road.

It re-opened eight months after se-vere erosion under the road prompted El Paso County offi cials to close the road Oct. 22 . They feared runoff from a sudden storm could cause the road to collapse.

Last week, after crews completed in-stallation of new steel-reinforced con-crete culverts.

The concrete culverts replaced two 40-year-old metal storm water culverts that had been damaged by heavy rains and increased run-off caused by the Black Forest Fire.

Since the closure, about 5,000 mo-

torists a day had to take a three-mile detour route along Swan, Herring and Shoup roads.

El Paso County obtained a $921,000 federal grant to replace the culverts with reinforced concrete pipes that will last longer than the previous metal pipes. The Pikes Peak Rural Transpor-tation Authority contributed $191,400 from its maintenance funds to cover the rest of the project.

Pate Construction Inc., of Pueblo West, was the contractor for the proj-ect.

El Paso County Public Works is responsible for the maintenance of more than 2,100 miles of public road-way ranging from major thorough-fares in urban areas to rural gravel roads and neighborhood roads and cul-de-sacs.

By Tribune staff and AP reports

D U R A N G O , Colo. (AP) – The La Plata County Sher-iff’s Offi ce renewed its on-going efforts to solve the 2012 disappearance and death of a 13-year-old Monument boy, Dylan Red-wine.

Last week, of-fi cers resumed a search of the area where some of the boy’s remains were found in June 2013, near a remote mountain lake located about 18 miles northeast of Durango in southwestern Colorado.

In November 2012, Dylan disap-peared during a court-ordered visit to the home of his father, Mark Redwine, near Durango.

Some of Dylan’s remains were found seven months later, a few miles from his father’s home near a service road in the San Juan National Forest. At the time, the boy’s cause of death was unknown.

Last summer, new evidence in the case convinced the La Plata County Coroner’s Offi ce to reclassify Dylan’s death a homicide. Mark Redwine was named a person of interest in the case, though no arrests have been made and the sheriff’s offi ce has named no offi cial suspects.

Mark Redwine has professed his in-nocence in the death.

The latest search, which was to con-clude Monday, was a followup to previ-ous efforts to locate more of the boy’s remains and clues that might help au-thorities solve the case, said Sgt. Dan Bender, spokesman for the sheriff’s of-fi ce.

“This is simply a follow-up, similar to several other searches we’ve done in the past 3½ years,” Bender said. “We try to go up in the area every summer to conduct at least one follow-up search.

“We do that because erosion is com-mon on steep slopes. Throughout the winter, with freeze-and-thaw and snowmelt, and the heavy rainstorms we’ve had this spring and even last week, they can tend to uncover things that were once covered up by soil and vegetation.”

Bender said offi cers were not acting on a tip, just taking advantage of warm weather to pursue any clues that might exist, or fi nd more remains, in what he called “an open and active criminal in-vestigation.”

“We want to be as thorough as pos-sible and fi nd any clues that might move the Dylan Redwine case for-ward,” Bender said. “This may not be the last search.”

There have been a number of searches during the past three years as the sheriff’s offi ce considers Redwine’s disappearance to be an ongoing inves-tigation.

Bender said the sheriff’s offi ce iden-tifi ed Mark Redwine as a person of in-terest based on “evidence collected, in-consistent statements and his behavior throughout the investigation.”

Some residents have questioned why it has taken investigators so long to solve the crime, Bender said. He com-pared it to a 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle, saying they are slowly piecing it togeth-er to have a complete picture.

“The investigation into the homicide of Dylan Redwine has never ceased,” he said. “As we conduct our investigation and additional information is gathered, that directs us toward our next steps in the investigation, and this is just one more step in the investigation.”

CUSP to lead memorial tree-planting eventBy Tribune staff

About a month after an ISIS-inspired gunman slaugh-tered dozens at a nightclub in Orlando, Fla., the folks at the Coalition for the Upper South Platte, or CUSP, organized what they describe as a healing event.

From 9 a.m.-3 p.m., on Saturday, July 16, CUSP will lead a tree-planting in the Waldo Canyon burn scar to bring the community together to heal.

Project work will include planting native tree species,

Ponderosa Pine, to revegetate hill slopes and help to miti-gate future fl ood damage and aid in the healing of the burn scar.

Organizers also hope it will help heal the Latino and members of the gay, lesbian, transgender communities who were targeted in the Orlando massacre.

Volunteers will meet at 1101 Rampart Range Road in Woodland Park.

On the Fourth of July, I spent a lot of time thinking about independence and what it means.

Of course, everyone knows the basic story of Independence Day, how in 1776 the Continental Congress declared the 13 American colonies to be a new nation, the United States of America, free and independent of Great Britain, its monarchy, rules and taxes.

But true independence came much later for many Americans. And I couldn’t stop thinking about one of those Americans, Joanne Bland, whom I met on June 28.

My family and I were driving home from Georgia on vacation when we stopped in Selma, Ala. I had long wanted to stand on the Edmund Pet-tus Bridge over the Alabama River and try to imagine what it was like on Bloody Sunday, March 7, 1965.

That day, a Civil Rights group known as the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, or SNCC, led by John Lewis, now a member of Congress from Georgia, tried to march from Selma to Montgomery as part of a voting rights campaign.

But the 600 or so marchers barely made it over the bridge before police in riot gear, some on horseback and many armed with clubs, violently at-tacked them.

The images of peaceful marchers being viciously clubbed, bitten by police dogs, trampled by horses and pounded to the pavement by fists and water cannons shocked the nation.

Among the marchers was 11-year-old Joanne Bland. Marching to gain

equality for blacks was not a new thing for the young girl. By Bloody Sunday, Bland already had been jailed 13 times for participating in demonstrations as the fight by blacks to end segrega-tion in the South intensified. She had joined the movement after attending organizing meetings with her grand-mother.

You could argue Bloody Sunday was sort of an Independence Day for many American blacks. Though the march failed and some suffered seri-ous injuries, the nation had awakened to the ugliness of segregation and the injustice of voter suppression and other racist tactics used by whites to oppress blacks.

I feel incredibly fortunate we got to hear the story directly from Bland

after we happened to meet her in the National Park Service museum at the foot of the bridge on June 28.

Bland was there with a group of mostly school children, as part of her business “Journeys for the Soul.”

She leads tours of Selma’s Civil Rights historic places, including its fa-mous First Baptist Church, which was headquarters for Lewis and the SNCC group. And she takes them to the near-by Brown Chapel, AME Church, which was the headquarters for Southern Christian Leadership Conference in Selma.

Her tours include stops at the museum, where movies and photos of Bloody Sunday tell the powerful story. Her tours end with a crossing of the Edmund Pettus Bridge.

We met Bland as she was talking to a group about that day. She vividly described marching with her sister, Linda, two-by-two on the sidewalk over the bridge.

She recalled hearing screams at the front of the line and then teargas canisters being shot at the marchers. Next came the hoofbeats of the horses as they knocked down and trampled fleeing marchers. And blood. Bland said there was so much blood.

Bland said she saw a woman tram-pled by a horse and the sight caused her to faint. When she awoke, she was in the backseat of a car with her sister, 14-year-old Linda.

“I felt what I thought was her tears on my face,” Bland said. “Then I real-ized it was her blood. Her whole face was covered with blood. She’d been beaten.”

She participated in two more marches in Selma, including the final, successful one on March 21. That day, about 6,000 people, led again by Lewis

and joined by the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. and many other Civil Rights leaders, safely crossed the bridge and launched the five-day, 54-mile jour-ney.

Ironically, many of the same Ala-bama State Troopers and Selma police who had viciously attacked them were forced by President Lyndon Johnson to serve as their escorts.

It was a riveting, first-person ac-count of a monumental day in U.S. history. Of an Independence Day, if you will.

And like the version in 1776, inde-pendence didn’t come quickly and without more bloodshed.

Eventually, Bland left Selma to earn a college degree. Then she joined the Army, leaving as a staff sergeant, before finally returning to Selma to work for a national nonprofit organi-zation teaching blacks the importance of leadership, academics, culture, economics and spirituality.

She said true independence has been slow to reach Selma, where an overwhelming black population has struggled to elect black leaders, de-spite huge gains in voter registration.

Hearing her story and ongoing frustration, it’s hard not to think of recent efforts to suppress voting again sweeping the nation.

Since 2008, many states have passed a variety of measures to make it harder for Americans — especially blacks, the elderly and those with dis-abilities — to vote by reducing early voting, enacting voter ID laws and purging of voter rolls.

So maybe Bland is right. Despite incredible gains made in the past half-century, including the election of a black president, maybe the fight for independence still goes on.

Independence took much longer for some Americans

Photos by Bill Vogrin / The Tribune Joanne Bland, who participated in the Bloody Sunday march in 1965 as an 11-year-old girl, speaks to school children in the Selma to Mont-gomery National Historic Trail Interpretive Center in Selma, Ala., on June 28. Today, Bland leads tours of Selma’s civil rights historic places and gives her first-person account of the struggle for voting rights in the South.

The Edmund Pettus bridge over the Alabama River in Selma, Ala., was the scene March 7, 1965, of a vicious attack by police on peaceful civil rights protesters. It became known as Bloody Sunday and was a turning point in the fight for voting rights for blacks.


There is no way that either Pink Floyd, or Black Sabbath, were wander-ing around the Pikes Peak area in the ‘60s and ‘70s. But if they were, they would have found a “Dirty Woman.”

That would be the 1860s and 1870s, of course, and this “Dirty Woman” is not the kind they write gritty, dark-sided rock anthems about.

Local historian Jack Anthony tells the story this way in his History Trail Run.

“About two miles north of Pring Station we cross over a unassuming creek called Dirty Woman Creek. Origi-nally named Dirty Woman Gulch in 1861, this branch of Monument Creek gained the name “Dirty Woman Creek” thanks to a lady who lived in a shack along the creek,” he writes.

One local source even claims that part of the woman’s shack survives near the turnoff to Mount Herman and Mitchell Roads.

“The Dirty Woman received her name from soldiers who traveled back and forth through the region in the 1860’s. The ‘Dirty Woman’ didn’t exactly keep herself, her property and children very clean; thus, the name ‘Dirty Woman’ stuck. She tended goats, chickens, cats, dogs, and other ani-mals on her ranch and in her house! The ‘Dirty Woman” also made butter by trampling the cream with her bare feet! Perhaps ‘Dirty Woman’ brand but-ter was wee bit gritty,” Anthony notes.

Lucille Lavelett version of the story of Dirty Woman, in her 1975 book “Through the Years at Monument Colorado,” goes this way.

“Dirty Woman Gulch as it was named in the 1870s and later called Dirty Woman Creek, is the first creek

crossed when entering Monument from the South. It is South of the Monument School and is a branch of the Monument Creek. In the 1870s, the school was built near the gulch. Near the stream lived a woman in a shack. The woman kept goats, chick-ens, cats, dogs and other animals and did not keep it our herself very clean, so in speaking, the kids called it Dirty Woman Gulch and still is known by that name.”

Others weighed in on the tale. From the diary of Mrs. Byron N. Sanford, December 27, 1861:

“Last night we stopped at what is called ‘Dirty Woman Ranch’ and really it could have no more appropri-ate name. Minnie and I go into the house and cook meals when we can. As we entered the door of this place the woman was pelting something with a broomstick. A young pig had wandered into the kitchen and got his head fast in a cream jar. It fitted pretty close and in frantic efforts to get loose, rolled over and over on the floor, while the youngsters who swarmed, it seemed, scampered under the beds as the mother pounded and yelled until, at last, the jar and pig rolled out into the yard. We gave the youngsters some cookies as they gaped at us in wonder, paid the ‘Dirty Woman’ for her trouble

and returned to camp.”“Remember the Teachout’s stage-

coach stop,” Anthony writes, “As stage coaches traveled north to Denver their next stop would be near the “Dirty Woman’s” place. The stagecoach driv-ers called it the ‘Dirty Woman’ stop. Perhaps you can pause as you cross her creek, look southwest and imagine the ‘Dirty Woman’ and her kids cheer-ing you on as you trod north,” says Anthony.

But, it appears, she wasn’t the only “Dirty Woman” in the area at the time.

“It wasn’t long before Florissant be-came a very profitable town bringing

in blacksmiths, livestock, a sawmill, and of course the doctoring services of Nancy Ann Roberts. Nancy Ann Rob-erts was known as “Dirty Woman” for her harsh demeanor and foul mouth. She wore a dirt-crusted dress, smoked a corncob pipe and swore like a man. She would offer her services as mid-wife and herbalist whenever they were needed. In addition to her doctoring services she built, owned, and oper-ated the local sawmill on her land, Dirty Woman Ranch,” notes a history of homesteaders and settlers in the Florissant Fossil Beds National Monu-ment history information.

Struggling a little these days feel-ing proud of America? Having trouble finding someone to root for in the 2016 Presidential election? Tired of rich, spoiled, arrogant professional athletes?

Here’s a true American Hero you can get behind – Joey “Jaws” Chestnut, who just regained the Mustard Yellow International Belt. Chestnut ousted reigning Gurgitator Matt “Megaload” Stonie at the annual Fourth of July hot dog eating contest at Nathan’s Famous in Coney Island.

Chestnut woofed down 70 hot dogs and buns in a mere 10 minutes setting a record for the most hot dogs ever eaten at the competition. He buried Stonie by 17 wieners!

Not to be left behind in this male dominated sport, Miki Sudo defended her Coney Island title by scarfing down 38 and one-half hot dogs in the allotted 10 minutes. Sudo and Chest-nut walked away with $10,000 each and, most likely, a serious case of acid reflux.

Competitive eating is a sport whose main goal is the rapid and vast con-sumption of food. The type of food varies from hot dogs to oysters to pancakes to pounds of bacon to ribs to – well, you get the idea.

There’s even a Colorado contest – the Denver Outlaws World Burrito Eat-ing Championship Presented by Illegal Pete’s. Chestnut, also, dominated this competition dusting off 14.5 burritos in ten minutes capturing the $5,000 first prize.

Interestingly, it seems a big belly isn’t necessarily an advantage for Gur-gitators. According to experts, physi-cal fitness plays an important role,

especially in the upper echelons of the professional circuit.

The sport not only has its own gov-erning body – the International Fed-eration of Competitive Eating (IFOCE) – it possess a number of internation-ally ranked superstars you can root for and even bet on. You can catch up on the 2016 contests to date at www.MajorLeagueEating.com.

Adding “legitimacy” to the sport is the fact that contests are covered by ESPN with broadcasts offering instant replay. It must be legit because it even has controversy and drug allegations.

In the final seconds of one Nathan’s Hot Dog Contest, the body of a final-ist heaved as his cheeks ballooned with the remnants of the 50-plus hot dogs he had stuffed in his face. Since visible regurgitation during competi-tion means disqualification, many in the crowd cried foul and waited for the title to be given to the runner-up.

The instant replay confirmed that some hot dog slush did spill through the contestant’s fingers and pieces of

liquid and bun spouted from his nose but time had expired.

Are you thoroughly disgusted, yet? Hang on, I’m not done.

The year before, the decidedly pro-American crowd was screaming, “drugs, drugs, drugs” at a Japanese competitor accusing him of taking muscle relaxants to allow him to woof down more dogs.

So, what more could you ask for in an American sport. Competitions exist for just about any fast food you can imagine. There’s TV coverage, super-stars, drug controversies, disgust-ing moments and there’s always the chance someone could actually eat themselves to death on a live broad-cast!

How quintessentially American.

Water Supply Threatened: Town of Monument attorney, Thomas R. Cross, warned of the extreme seriousness of the suit by Fountain Valley Water Users Association challenging Monument’s three wells. The cost of proving that Monument water is consuming from non-tributary sources may be $3,000 or more. Mayor Langer called on people of Monument to conserve water, but didn’t call for water rationing or predict a water shortage.

Burglar Alert: Booklets titled “Residential Bur-glary” will be distributed to Palmer Lake residences and businesses. Citizens may borrow electric etch-ers to engrave names and Social Security numbers on valuable items. If you don’t want to etch, take a

picture of your valuables. If you think you have been burglarized, don’t touch anything and call the police immediately. You can also fill out an inventory sheet to list all valuables. Other tips are also listed in the booklet.

Skinny Dip Fines: Eleven skinny dippers chose Palmer Lake water supply to cool off in on Sunday afternoon. Three of the skinny dippers were fined $30 plus a $5 court cost for polluting the town’s two reservoirs. Five more failed to show up for trial. Bench warrants will be issued for their arrests. Three others will appear before the judge Aug. 2. To reas-sure water drinkers, water is filtered and chlorinated after it leaves the reservoirs before coming through your tap.

Entrance Eyesore: Michael Nusca is circulating petitions demanding the Colorado Department of Transportation remove its maintenance facility on the west side of Interstate 25 by the overpass. He

called it an eyesore at the entrance to Monument with its huge pile of sand and broken concrete and all.

Guest Soloist: Henry Keefe, student at USC Boul-der, will be guest soloist for vesper services of the Church at Woodmoor on Sunday, July 18. Keefe is son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Keefe of Monument and a graduate of Lewis-Palmer High School. He will be accompanied on guitar by Donald R. Walden, as-sistant pastor.

Gift Horse: A registered quarter horse owned by Mr. and Mrs. Jim Lange was donated to Frontier Boys Ranch. He has been named “Pogo Row” and will join the herd of six horses. Mrs. Kathy Witcher has taught equestrian arts at the Village for the past two summers. Chris Johns, a volunteer from Palmer Lake, is assisting her. Students range from age 8-17.

Palmer Lake resident Darla Allgood, who started a Lyme disease awareness and prevention group in 2015, has been crowned a queen of a faith-based na-tional pageant.

Allgood won her crown from Today’s American Woman pageants, a pageant focused on caring about causes and helping and enriching lives.

“It’s not about glitz and glam,” Allgood said last week. “It’s about making a difference in every life we touch. I wear my crown to help and enrich lives and make a difference.”

Allgood’s platform is Lyme disease awareness and prevention, which she lives through her Little Glim-mer Lyme Foundation.

The organization, which she founded in 2015, brings awareness, education, and financial aid to people living with the disease. Allgood said she was inspired to launch the organization after she met a woman living with the disease at a women’s confer-ence in Michigan. Allgood said she prayed about the

woman, named Lisa.“God kept saying ‘Lyme disease,’ and the message

from Him got stronger and stronger to help Lisa and others,” Allgood said.

Allgood’s first fundraiser was an expo, and various vendors participated in the event.

Allgood said that at the expo, “something stirred her heart.” A little boy came up to her and said “Can you save my daddy?”

Allgood has organized other fundraisers such as “Fashion into the Lymelight,” which helped a family raise money to go on a vacation.

Other fundraisers have included walks, and col-laboration in events with Gospel Homes and Mended Little Hearts, an organization that helps raise money for congenital heart disease.

Another popular fundraiser is “Green Sisters,” a comedy act that brings awareness to the different causes of the disease.

“The National Crown has helped bring even more awareness and help more people.”

Fire crews across the Pikes Peak region and the entire Front Range were battling wildfires that e rupted under red-flag conditions including high t emperatures, low humidity and strong, gusting winds.

Red flag warnings were in place Monday for Teller County, Rampart Range, Pikes Peak and Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument, according to the National Weather Service in Pueblo.

Not far west of the Tri-Lakes region, crews from the U.S. Forest Service were battling Monday a small fire that started the afternoon of July 10 at Colorado Highway 67 and mile marker 94, north of Woodland Park.

Smoke from the fire, which had consumed 11 acres as of the morning of July 11, was thick in west-

ern Douglas County, according to a firefighter with the Douglas County Fire Protection District.

While the smoke was not visible in Monument on Monday morning, three hand crews and a helicopter from the Forest Service were at the scene.

A larger blaze, called the Hayden Pass Fire, ex-ploded between Salida and Cañon City in Fremont County near Coaldale.

It smoldered two days before erupting Sunday and spreading a huge plume of thick, dark smoke that clouded the skies and produced eye, nose and lung irrigation across the region.

It stood at 5,100 acres with no containment late Sunday. Experts warned it could grow significantly Monday.

An ominous tweet from the Forest Service Mon-day warned “significant growth is expected” in the Hayden Pass fire.

It was burning south and east of Hayden Pass, with a large portion burning in the Sangre de Cristo Wil-derness. It was being fueled by large swaths of conifer trees killed by beetles.

Kyle Sullivan with the Bureau of Land Manage-ment said firefighters spent the night monitoring the fire, which was burning exclusively on Forest Service land in rugged terrain which is difficult to ac-cess.

Two helicopters were on standby Monday to make water drops on the fire, which officials blamed on a lightning strike Friday.

No homes were immediately threatened although mandatory evacuations were underway for those who live on County Road 6 south of County Road 45 in Coaldale.

Continued from Page 1provide water for drinking, bathing and fi ghting fi res.

One district offi cial called the situa-tion “grave” as experts debated wheth-er the steep drop was due to a massive leak or simply huge demand.

Things would have been even worse had not neighboring Donala Water and Sanitation District to the south, in Gleneagle, approved an emergency re-quest from Triview’s manager, Valerie Remington, to open a 12-inch pipeline connecting the two water systems to feed water into Triview.

Kip Petersen, general manager of Donala, said Thursday his pipeline was delivering about 750,000 gallons of wa-ter a day into Triview’s system.

“Valerie called at 10 p.m. (July 4) and said: ‘We need your help. We need the valve opened. We’ve only got 2½ feet of water left in our tank.’ So our guys went out and opened the valve,” Pe-tersen said, noting the situation would get much worse, and quickly. Two days later, just 12 inches of water remained in the tank. Then it dropped by half, again, offi cials said.

“Our job is to protect the health, safety and welfare of community. Even those outside our district. If we can help, it’s the right thing to do.”

Petersen added, though, that Dona-la’s fi rst obligation is to the residents of Gleneagle. And opening the valve simply allowed water Donala gets from Colorado Springs Utilities to fl ow into Triview.

“This will have no impact on our customers whatsoever,” Petersen said. “And it won’t be free. We will be charg-ing Triview on a per-gallon basis. And CSU water isn’t cheap. It’s very expen-sive. We’re talking gold-plated water molecules.”

As a condition of opening the con-nection, Donala demanded Triview ban outside irrigation by its customers, who live mostly east of Interstate 25 along the Jackson Creek Parkway cor-ridor.

On a typical day, Triview customers use around 1 million gallons of wa-ter. But on June 3, water consumption spiked.

In a letter to customers Wednesday, Remington said the maximum single-day historical demand was 1.79 million gallons, prior to this crisis.

But June 3 demand for water reached 2 million gallons – a record that would be broken repeatedly in subsequent days. In fact, demand spiked to similar levels each day for the following two weeks.

Remington called it extreme and unprecedented demand that exceeded the pumping capacity of the district’s seven wells, which max out at 1.8 mil-lion gallons a day.

On June 17, the district sent out an urgent plea asking customers to stop watering their yards. And the district

hired private engineers to help scour the district for signs of leaking water.

“Since the highest demand for wa-ter comes during the nighttime hours – when landscape irrigation places signifi cant load on the system – it ap-pears that the increase may be largely explainable thereby,” Remington told customers Wednesday. “Though the district continues to investigate other potential sources of water loss, such as leakage and theft.”

She said district experts ruled out commercial and residential growth as the cause. Development has increased the demand for district water demand by 7 percent in the last 2 years, she said.

“The district should continue to have comfortably suffi cient water re-sources into the future,” she said.

Monument Town Manager Chris Lowe issued a news release Wednes-day alerting residents that the town was monitoring the crisis and offering help.

But he noted there is no connection between the two water systems and no way to provide water from the town’s nine wells, which serve about 1,100 homes and businesses west of I-25.

“The town’s water department is currently assisting the district with leak detection,” Lowe said.

Triview was founded Jan. 1, 1985, to provide water, sewer and road services, commonly offered by town govern-ments, along the then-unincorporated Jackson Creek Parkway corridor.

When the area was annexed into Monument in 1987, Triview remained in operation under an intergovern-mental agreement separating its ser-vices from those provided by the town, which only provides police protection and land-use planning approvals. Triv-iew issued its fi rst residential water tap in 1998.

Remington said a new storage tank was under construction. And she said additional wells will be needed in com-ing years to ensure a reliable water sup-ply for district customers.

But Petersen said the new tank won’t help because Triview needs in-creased capacity which can only come from a new well, at a cost of $1 million or more, or new surface water sup-ply, such as the water Donala secured about 10 years ago by purchasing a ranch in Leadville.

“People need to understand this is serious,” Petersen said.

The situation had everyone con-fused, said Reid Bolander, a member of the Triview board of directors.

“That’s the lowest that tank has ever been since it was built,” Bolander said.

At Saturday’s meeting, many resi-dents were upset about fi nes being handed out for people violating the watering ban. First offenders were giv-en a warning then faced fi nes escalat-ing from $50 to $500 to $750 for subse-quent offenses.

From the time the sun rose on a fun run and

pancake breakfast until an evening fireworks show lit Palmer Lake, Fourth of July gave thou-sands of Tri-Lakes area residents and out-of-town guests a day full of excitement.

Independence day started with the 7 a.m., 34th Annual Palmer Lake Fun Run, breakfast served by the Knights of Columbus and two parades followed by two streets full of vendors and a beer garden with live music.

Cars were backed up for blocks to Interstate 25 looking for parking as Monument’s popu-lation swelled by many thousands of people who lined the streets of downtown with folding chairs and umbrellas for an up-close view of the parades on the sunny morning.

Scott Hauck, who has lived in Monument for 10 years, walked from his house, a block away, for a seat at the start of the 10 a.m. parade. He said the main parade has grown in participants and visitors over the years.

“It’s great to get together with family and friends,” Hauck said. “It’s great to know who is in and around our community and see the resources we have in Monument.”

In the children’s parade, kids with their friends and families walked and rode bicycles decorated with red, white and blue balloons, streamers and other festive ornaments.

The main parade took the stage with wildlife, costumes, music and cars that featured local and regional groups such as the Renaissance Festival.

Black Forest residents Patrick Bratz, his wife, Jami Bratz, and their son Michael had never at-tended the Tri-Lakes Fourth of July celebration before this year.

“It makes you proud to be American,” Patrick said. “It’s the heart of Colorado. It’s not about advertising.”

Jami said she doesn’t like to go to the Colo-

rado Springs events because of parking.

Patrick and Jami both appreciated the size of the crowd at the parade and hope to return next year.

Among the participants with floats in the main pa-rade were the Lewis-Palmer High School Pom Team, the Air Force Academy Band, the American Heritage Girls and the Girl of the West Allison Mitchell with her aide Jamie Tyler on horses.

People walking the streets found as-sorted vendors selling hot dogs, ham-burgers and shaved ice throughout the hot day.

People moved in and out of the family-friendly beer garden in Limbach Park where bands Wirewood Station, the Inman Brothers Band and Miguel Dakota and the Differents played for the crowd socializing, dancing on the stage or sit-ting in the grass.

Colorado Springs natives Joan Marti-nez and her husband, Joe Martinez, have lived in Monument for the last 20 years and attended the Fourth of July festivi-ties several times. This year, they brought Joan’s daughter, Coleen Vanackeren, a Colorado Springs resident, for her first Monument Fourth of July.

When Monument first held the Inde-pendence Day events, it started with just a children’s parade, there were no street vendors or a beer garden, according to Joan.

“All of it has grown exponentially,” she said. “People can recognize what a nice community it is; a lot of people don’t even know about Monument.”

As a first time attender, Vanackeren said the event is fun and very community

like.And for the first time in five

years, the festivities didn’t end in Monument

Many of the celebrants drove over to Palmer Lake, where another concert was held prior to a 20-minute fireworks show. Fireworks over the lake on July 4th was a tradition for many years until drought and fire danger caused the display to be aban-doned five years ago.

Continued from Page 1was in so much pain at what had hap-pened. There was a feeling of hope-lessness after the suicides. Everyone was trying to cope.”

Emma wanted her friends, and strangers, to know there is so much to live for and lots of love in the commu-nity.

“It hurt me to see all my friends in so much pain,” Emma said. “We want to let people know they are loved. Maybe this fence will help somebody realize there is love all around.”

So she came up with the idea of painting a message of hope and love on the family’s wooden privacy fence along Struthers Road, at Falcons Nest Loop, in Gleneagle.

And they launched a social media campaign to spread the word of her “Spray the Love” campaign.

Ol’ Tom Sawyer would be proud at the response. Over a three-day period last week, scores of people stopped to paint daisies and other fl owers along a wide swath of the fence.

It was a team effort by Emma and her family: 12-year-old sister, Ellie, and parents Abbie, a teacher, and Jake, a graphic designer. And they were

happy to help after seeing the impact the suicides had on Emma and her friends.

“DCC has suffered quite a lot,” Ab-bie said. “It seems people have lost hope. Emma wanted to remind people there’s a lot of love in the world, still.”

They made stencils of daisies, solicited donations of 60 cans of spray paint and three gallons of primer from Ace Hardware, designed a website, at spark.adobe.com/page/XWCku/, and spread the message on Instagram, at instagram.com/spraytheloveco/, as well as Twitter, at twitter.com/spray-theloveco.

On July 4, the fi rst day of painting, the #spraytheloveco project attracted 100-plus painters. Sign-up sheets showed guest painters joined them from Lewis-Palmer High School, The Classical Academy, Air Academy High, Pine Creek, Liberty and many more. A few cadets from the Air Force Academy even joined in the paintfest.

Another 70 showed up the second day and the third day saw dozens coming and going, adding to the mass of painted daisies.

Each person who painted a daisy

was offered a sticker the family had printed with the message and hashtag that will lead people to the website where they can fi nd a list of oppor-tunities for counseling and other resources for those who might be

hurting.Among those painting daisies on

Wednesday was Andy Liddle, a history teacher at DCC. He bought his 7-year-old daughter, Taylor, to spray a little love on the fence.

Besides daisies, some painted fl ags and other fl owers on the #SpraytheLoveCo fence project at the Weien family home in Gleneagle.

Blach family rode in Colorado Bike MS 150-mile ride

By Danny [email protected]

When Patty Blach Metzler died in

2007 after a 27-year battle with mul-tiple sclerosis, her family decided to do something special to honor her memory.

MS, as the disease is known, strikes the central nervous system by disrupt-ing the flow of information within the brain and to the body. It impacts mo-bility, cognition and many other func-tions. The cause remains unknown. And though there is no cure, today there are more than a dozen disease-modifying treatments available to help people manage MS.

None of those existed 25 years ago, when Patty needed them. More re-search is needed and it’s expensive.

So a few members of Metzler’s family, including her brother Ed Blach of Monument, decided to ride in the Colorado Bike MS 150-mile ride to

raise money in Metzler’s name. That first year, six of Metzler’s rela-

tives took part in the two-day ride that raised money for MS research.

Since then, even more of the Met-zler family has embraced the ride. To-day, they are known as “Patty’s Pack.” Nearly 45 family and friends rode in the June 25-26 event.

“It’s like a big family reunion,” said Ed Blach, who lives in King’s Deer with his wife, Darci, and most of their six children. “Friends and family come in from a dozen states. The support is just overwhelming and this means a lot to all of us.”

As impressive as the size of “Patty’s Pack” is the amount the group has

raised: nearly $400,000. They also raise awareness. Did you know Colorado has one of the highest prevalence rates of MS in the nation?

“The people who support us are so gracious,” said Ed Blach, whose sister was diagnosed with MS at age 28. “We keep our focus on the cause and the people we are trying to help.”

Patty’s daughter, Hannah, actually got the ball rolling for the first family ride in 2007. After Patty died, Hannah received a mailer about Bike MS. She decided to take part in memory of her mother and sent a fundraising email to her family members.

Her uncle, Ed Blach, remembers receiving the email and saying to his wife: “Maybe we should join her?”

Ed Blach wrote back to his niece: “Hannah, we’ll support you. But maybe you need some company?”

Hannah wrote back and said: “I didn’t know people your age knew how to ride a bike?”

The gauntlet was thrown.So how does someone train for the

MS 150-mile race that takes 3,000-plus cyclists on a route from Westminster

Monument family bicycles to beat MS


The college scholarship offers were starting to roll

in for Anders Carlson, but there was one obvious choice for the highly sought kicker from The Classical Academy.

Carlson decided to follow his older brother to the University of Auburn in Alabama.

Carlson recently informed the Southeastern Con-ference school that he will join the Tigers’ program in 2017, after he graduates from TCA. Carlson’s brother, Daniel, is a two-year starting kicker for Auburn and is considered a top NFL prospect at his position.

“I thought I was going to Vanderbilt for a while,” Anders Carlson said. “I went to Nashville and the campus was amazing and school was incredible.

“But I think Auburn offered me a better chance to get a great education and to play for a school that has a legitimate shot to win a national championship ev-ery year.”

Vanderbilt and Auburn both play in the SEC, con-sidered the top college football conference in Ameri-ca. The fact Anders and Daniel could be teammates – if he decides to remain in school for his senior season – clinched the deal.

“He’s going to graduate next month and he will still have two years of eligibility remaining,” Anders said of Daniel. “It would be great if we were teammates during his senior season, but he might have a shot to play in the NFL sooner than later.”

Anders, 6-foot-3, 185 pounds, is ranked as the No. 2 high school kicker in the nation according to Kohl’s Kicking. He does not yet have a ranking on the

247Sports Composite, a top recruiting site that tracks high school players.

As a punter, Kohl’s ranks Anders 24th in the nation.Anders also had a scholarship offer to play for

Oklahoma State, but the five-star recruit decided to commit early so he could enjoy his senior year at TCA.

“I’m glad I got this process out of the way,” Anders said. “Now I can focus on this year.”

Anders made 11 of 18 field goals as a junior, in-cluding a 52 yarder. He converted 37 of 38 extra point attempts, and had 56 touchbacks in 61 kickoffs. As a punter, he averaged 37.4 yards per kick.

Anders is a two-sport star at TCA. He is also a mid-fielder on the soccer team and has helped the Titans to three consecutive state runner-up appearances. He scored 11 goals last season, which ranked third on the team. He played in 19 of the team’s 20 games, missing the Cheyenne Mountain game because of football obligations.

Anders has not decided if he is going to play soccer for the Titans this fall.

“I want to, but I have to check with Auburn and see what their thoughts are,” he said.

Daniel Carlson, 6-4, 218 pounds, is a rare college combination kicker/punter for Auburn. In 2015, as a redshirt sophomore, he had four field goals of 51 yards or longer and a string of 16 consecutive made field goals on his way to being named first-team all-Southeastern Conference. He was also named to the SEC Academic Honor Roll and Academic Top Tiger.

Daniel is majoring in business and will graduate in August. He plans to pursue his master’s in business, but an NFL career could be on the horizon. He is eli-gible to enter the NFL Draft after this season.

TCA kicker will join his older brother at SEC school

File photo Anders Carlson will be a senior at The Classical Academy this fall. He is one of the top kicking prospects in the nation. He recently committed to the University of Auburn. His older brother, Daniel, is a junior kicker for the Tigers.

“Patty’s Pack” had nearly 50 riders this year that participated in the Colorado Bike MS 150-mile ride.

Monument facility will receive 25 full sets of equipment from NHL


Al Pedersen spent eight seasons in the National

Hockey League as defenseman and played in two Stanley Cup Finals as a member of the Boston Bruins.

Born and raised in Canada, Pedersen was wearing ice skates from the time he could walk. Since his re-tirement as a player, he has spent the better part of his life teaching young players the game.

These days Pedersen is the general manager and skating coordinator for Monument-based Colorado Sports Center. Recently, the Sports Center received a gift of $15,000 from the NHL Players’ Association toward the purchase of new equipment. The Sports Center will receive 25 full sets of equipment from the NHLPA Goals & Dreams fund.

Pedersen received the news via email, but was not sure what to make of it when he first opened it up.

“We applied for this more than a year ago, so when we got the email we weren’t sure what to think,” Ped-ersen said with a smile. “We thought it was spam email. But when we looked at it closer, we were ec-static.”

Part of the email read: “The NHLPA members are proud to invest in this program because of your com-mitment to helping children participate in the great sport of hockey.”

Pedersen has maintained a good relationship with the NHL since his retirement in the mid-1990s. He moved to Colorado Springs in 2001 to coach the now-defunct minor league Colorado Springs Gold Kings. He has been with the Sports Center for about 10 years.

“This new equipment will give us the opportunity to have more and more kids learn how to skate,” Ped-ersen said. “This will give them the opportunity to have the full experience.”

Pedersen has collected a large array of hockey equipment over the years. He offers free introductory sessions to young skaters each Saturday morning.

Adults are offered free sessions on Monday evenings. Equipment and skates are loaned out.

“We do pretty well with donations,” Pedersen said. “This new equipment we’re getting from the NHL will replenish our little guy stuff.”

Pedersen is passionate about hockey and has seen a steady increase in the popularity of the sport during his time at the Sports Center.

“With all the new homes going up in Monument we’re prepping for a major influx of hockey players,” he said.

Since its inception in 1999, the NHLPA Goals & Dreams fund has been successful in contributing more than $23-million to grassroots hockey pro-grams around the world. The players’ program has benefited more than 70,000 children in 33 countries.

All-stars of Tri-Lakes Little League 9-10 go 2-2 in District 5 tournament


The Tri-Lakes Little League 9-10 minor all-star baseball team went 2-2 in the District 5 tournament last week in Fal-con and did not advance to the state tournament.

Tri-Lakes team members are Cohen Holliday, Cohen Ed-mondson, Jimmer Weir, Michael O’Conor, Peyton Bergman, Aiden Aubain, Henry Hund, Cody Leppart, Cooper Havenar, Cannon Budge, Thatcher Crisler and Crew Baldry. The coach-ing staff includes manager Brian Holliday, and assistants Jody Edmondson and Michael O’Conor.

Tri-Lakes defeated Ken-Caryl Little League, 19-1, in its opener on July 5. The game was called after 3½ innings due to the 10-run rule.

On July 6, Tri-Lakes lost to Academy Little League, 23-13, to fall into the loser’s bracket. Tri-Lakes led 10-1 early but could not hold the lead.

Tri-Lakes bounced back on July 7 with a resounding 15-2 victory over Dry Creek Little League.

Tri-Lakes’ season ended on July 9 with a 7-1 loss to Colo-rado Springs Little League.

All of the Tri-Lakes players are 10 years old. Most have been a part of the all-star team for two years.

Former Olympic Gold medalist Scott Hamilton wants to fi nd a cure to can-cer, like the brain tumor he survived.

In his effort, he created a foundation and raises money for the cause.

He’s bringing that cause to Monu-ment next month with a special offer.

For $10, anybody can skate with Hamilton at the Colorado Sports Cen-ter as a guest of 7K International Skat-ing Academy.

The event takes place from 2 to 4 p.m. The money raised from the event will go to his foundation for the pur-pose of cancer research. Donations are also accepted.

Hamilton, who lives near Nashville, won a gold medal at the 1984 Winter Olympics, as well as four U.S Cham-pionships and four World Champion-ships from 1981-84.

Why is he coming to Monument? Hamilton is good friends with 7K founder and technical director Kori Ade, who operates her academy out of the Sports Center. Hamilton was at the Sports Center earlier this year working with young skating hopefuls in a vari-ety of capacities.

This time he wants to raise money for his Scott Hamilton Cares Founda-tion. It is dedicated to funding world class research and quality care to im-prove cancer survivorship. CARES stands for Cancer Alliance for Re-

search, Education and Survivorship.The cause is personal. On Nov. 12,

2004, Hamilton announced he had a benign brain tumor, which was treated at the Cleveland Clinic.

His work in fi ghting cancer has also helped benefi t St. Jude Children’s Hos-pital and Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation, where he is an honorary board member.

For more information contact 7K at [email protected]. You can also visit Hamilton’s web site at scottcares.org.

“The fi rst year we did the ride, we were suffering,” Ed Blach said with a smile. “We didn’t have the right elec-trolytes and we probably underesti-mated just how diffi cult the ride would be.”

Five of Blach’s six children rode in this year’s event, including 12-year-old Grogan (a seventh-grader at Lewis-Palmer Middle School) and 16-year-old Granger (a junior at Palmer Ridge High School). It was Grogan’s fi rst ride (riders have to be at least 12 to ride) and the fi fth for Granger.

The other three Blach kids who rode this year were 21-year-old Grady (his eighth ride), 23-year-old Brina (third ride) and 20-year-old Kenzie (third ride).

Mom Darci Blach rode for the 10th time, along with her husband, Ed.

The Blach family are a great ex-

ample of people sacrifi cing their time for the benefi t of others. It’s far more fulfi lling than doing something to achieve our own goals and desires.

We all should volunteer our time to make a difference in our communi-ties. That might be helping to organize next year’s Fourth of July events in the Tri-Lakes area, or taking part in a local Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, helping out at a local soup kitch-en or getting involved with a church to do missionary-type work home or abroad.

Or participate in a fundraising walk or ride, like the Blachs. Before you know it, you, like the Blachs, might fi nd that hundreds in your immediate circle are benefi ting from the small sacrifi ce you make.

In Loving Memory

Contiinued from Page 6relatively near where the fi re is burning also were urged to consider relocating while the fi re remained a safe distance away.

And the smoke was so thick it prompted the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to is-sue an Air Quality Health Advisory for Fremont County.

The areas impacted include Canon City, Cotopaxi, Coaldale, Texas Creek and Howard.

The advisory was to expire Monday morning, but it could be extended.

Health offi cials recommended that people with respiratory issues limit outdoor activity. Anytime visibility is less than fi ve miles, it means smoke has reached unhealthy levels. Health offi cials recommend leaving the area immediately.

Meanwhile, three homes and three buildings have been destroyed by a wildfi re burning north of Nederland in Boulder County, with 30 more homes in the path of the fi re.

The Boulder Offi ce of Emergency Management said Sunday people in about 170 homes should be ready to leave on a moment’s notice.

Authorities say the fi re started Sat-urday afternoon west of Boulder and grew quickly to more than 200 acres. They say a campfi re probably started the fi re. There are no reports of inju-ries.

In northern Colorado, fi refi ghters say a wildfi re near the Wyoming border has burned another 1,000 acres, and they are warning that the fi re could spread rapidly on Sunday because high winds are forecast.

An evacuation order was issued for Parsons Draw landowners on Saturday. That fi re started on June 19 and now covers more than 22 square miles.

Two men from Alabama were arrest-ed in connection with that fi re, which started because of an improperly-extinguished campfi re, according to a Boulder County Sheriff’s Offi ce release.

Jimmy Andrew Suggs, 28, and Zack-ary Ryan Kuykendall, 26, were arrested at the Nederland High School evacua-tion site.

About 1,000 people have been forced from their homes after that fi re spread quickly Saturday. Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pelle said evacuations won’t be lifted because of the weather fore-cast, with hot weather and high winds making it too dangerous.

In northern Colorado, fi refi ghters say the Beaver Creek fi re near the Wyo-ming border has burned another 1,000 acres. Offi cials say that fi re isn’t expect-ed to be contained until late October.

Offi cials said the fi re is burning in heavy timber killed by beetles. They are letting the fi re burn in some areas be-cause bug-infested trees can blow over easily and kill or maim fi refi ghters.
