A special VIP grand opening took place Jan. 6 By Danny Summers [email protected]

There is still quite a bit of con-struction going on at what used to be called the Tri-Lakes YMCA. But that is taking a back to seat to the celebration happening this week at what will now be the new Tri-Lakes Health Pavilion.

On Jan. 10, the public is invited to tour the unique Tri-Lakes Health Pavilion; a 50,000 square foot build-ing, developed by a partnership of the YMCA of the Pikes Peak Region, Centura Health and the Boldt Com-pany.

The community grand opening is from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., with build-ing tours, health and fi tness testing, demonstrations and family activi-ties.

Representatives of the Health Pa-vilion’s tenants will be at the opening. They include Centura Health Urgent Care Tri-Lakes; Centura Health Phy-sician Group Tri-Lakes Primary Care; Centura Health Physician Group Tri-Lakes Behavioral Health; Centura Physical Therapy Tri-Lakes; Centura Centers for Occupational Medicine; Tri-Lakes Café and Bistro; PENRAD Imaging; Colorado Laboratory Ser-vices; and Monument Pediatrics - Mountain View Medical Group.

“Each service will be offering something to demonstrate to the public what they do,” said Heather Steinman, executive director of the Tri-Lakes YMCA. “Urgent Care will offer a teddy bear clinic so you can come in and get your teddy bear fi xed up. The YMCA will have an obstacle course, bounce house and gym activities. Another provider will have face painting. Somebody else will have a photo booth, and so on.

“It’s basically a big opportunity for the whole community to come, look at the new space, do some fun activities with their kids and see if this is something they would like to have and get a better idea of what this partnership is all about.”

On Jan. 6, there was a VIP ribbon cutting ceremony in the Tri-Lakes YMCA gymnasium hosted by the Tri-Lakes Chamber of Commerce. Chamber executive director Terri Hayes was among those in atten-dance, along with Monument mayor Rafael Dominguez.

Also on hand were several board members from the Tri-Lakes YMCA, and YMCA of the Pikes Peak Region, as well as representatives from the other health care providers that are involved with the new Health Pavil-ion.

“Our long term vision is to toss out the old convention of only going to the doctor when sick and dealing with the sometimes massive and expensive bureaucracy that comes with hospitals and medical hand-

offs,” said Margaret Sabin, president and CEO of Penrose-St. Francis Health Services, who was on hand for the VIP ribbon cutting ceremony. “It may sound counterintuitive, but as a true healthcare system our goal is to keep people healthy and out of hospitals, utilizing them most ap-propriately for those life events that require the scale and proportions a hospital can provide.

The hope is that the new pavilion will integrate advanced, individual-ized exercise and fi tness programs (provided by the YMCA at a cost), along with pediatric medicine, adult primary care, family nutrition, or-thopedic medicine, radiology, ur-gent care and occupational therapy.

Bill Elder sworn in as new El Paso County Sheri�Event took place Dec. 31By Danny [email protected]

Bill Elder began working for the El Paso County Sheriff’s office when he was 21 years old. Now he is the top dog.

In a Dec. 31 ceremony, Elder was sworn in as Sheriff, re-placing Terry Maketa who held office more than a decade.

“This is my home,” Elder said to the crowd in atten-dance. “I started at this office when I was 21 and spent the next 20 years working here.’

“I know most of these people. They are hungry for a change in leadership.”

Fourth Judicial District Judge Gil Martinez administered the oath. About 100 people gave Elder a standing ovation.

Martinez also swore in Joe Breister as undersheriff, Brad Shannon as bureau chief and Richard Hatch and Tom De-Luca as commanders. All had worked at the sheriff’s office.

Maketa was supposed to finish out his term this month, but he filed paperwork for early retirement in December. He did not give a reason.

Elder, a Republican, ran unopposed for Maketa’s seat in the Nov. 4 election.

Maketa was on the hot seat since last spring when al-legations surfaced that he had sexual relationships with three female employees and mishandled taxpayer money. He was pressured to step down, but vowed to fulfill his term.

“Because of what’s gone on in the last seven and a half months it’s a distraction and I need to remove that distrac-tion,” Elder said at the press conference. “We have a busi-ness, a very dangerous business that we operate and we need to get back to the business of law enforcement.”

Elder, the former police chief of Fountain, officially be-gins his term on Jan. 13.

Maketa’s term as Sheriff was mostly positive. He took a leading role during the massive Black Forest Fire in June 2013. That same year he also played a big part in the fight against gun control legislation in Colorado.

In November 2013, Maketa became involved in a war of words with then Black Forest Fire Chief Bob Harvey. Ma-keta lashed out at Harvey after Harvey said the Black Forest fire likely was intentionally set.

Maketa went so far as to say in a news release that Har-vey’s comments were “an attempt to mislead the public” and a “mere witch hunt.” Maketa also accused Harvey of mishandling response to the fire.

The onslaught of allegations prompted the Black For-est Fire Board to launch an independent review of Harvey’s handling of the fire. The 2,000-page report cleared Harvey of the accusations. The report was released last spring.

Maketa’s stock took a major slide downward in May

2014 when allegations of sexual favoritism and intimida-tion by current and former employees were made public. Many of those claims were substantiated by a County in-vestigation. A criminal investigation is ongoing.

Maketa, 50, joined the Sheriff’s Department in 1987 and

worked his way up through the ranks. Maketa ran for Sher-iff in 2002 and received more than 77 percent of the vote.

In subsequent elections, Maketa was re-elected by even larger margins. He ran unopposed in 2006. In 2010 he and finished with more than 81 percent of the vote.

Goodwill’s new Monument store to open this monthNew CSHP facility being built next doorBy Danny [email protected]

Discover Goodwill’s expansion will continue this month with the opening of a 23,552-square-foot store in Monu-ment at the Creekside Commercial Center along Jackson Creek Parkway, northeast of Interstate 25 and Baptist Road.

The store is a $4.3 million project that is expected to ini-tially employ about 50 people.

Adjacent to the new Goodwill Retail Store is a new Colo-rado Springs Health Partners, P.C. (CSHP), which is sched-uled to open this spring.

CSHP’s new medical center in Monument is expected to increase accessibility and convenience for patients by con-solidating its current family medicine providers in Monu-ment along with supporting pediatric and urgent care clini-cal services.

The new CSHP building will be 15,800 square feet and will maintain its current two primary care physicians. It will also add urgent care to the services offered, according to CSHP spokesperson Lynn Jones.

Jones added that podiatrists, ophthalmologist ENT spe-cialists and orthopedics specialists will visit the clinic on a rotating basis.

The building will have 26 exam rooms and use geother-mal heating and cooling systems.

Goodwill and CSHP held a ground breaking ceremony last June to kick off the construction of new facilities.

The Monument Goodwill’s physical address is 16218 Jackson Creek Parkway. Hours (opening and closing times) are: Monday through Saturday 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sunday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

For more information call 800-400-9455 or email [email protected].

Denver-based DaVita Health recently acquired CSHP, a group with more than 130 providers and 11 locations in the Pikes Peak region.

In a news release issued by the Fortune 500 company called it “a partnership.”

“By combining a nationally recognized patient-centered physician practice with our existing international footprint and extensive clinical capabilities, we are creating a new paradigm of high-quality, affordable, personalized health care in Colorado,” Kent Thiry, co-chairman and CEO of Da-Vita, said in the release. “We are especially excited about growing in our home state and look forward to more.”

CSHP executive vice president and CEO Deborah Chan-dler and her executive staff are expected to remain in place through the sale process. Chandler will then serve as presi-dent of DaVita’s Colorado Springs market.

“We have long focused on a physician-driven, patient-

centric approach to delivering the right care, in the right place, at the right time,” Chandler said in the release. “CSHP is excited to join forces with HealthCare Partners given their nationally renowned leadership in providing

coordinated care that is physician-led, value and outcomes focused and cost effective.”

CSHP started in Colorado Springs in 1946 and has re-mained a physician-owned enterprise.

Two state patrol cars involved in crashes near Castle RockDouglas County sheri� ’s deputy was also hitSta� report

Colorado State Patrol cars were in-volved in two crashes near Castle Rock on Dec.29.

Both incidents were related to the snowy and icy conditions of the roads as the Denver metro area received between 5-9 inches of snow and saw tempera-tures dip below zero.

The first, which involved a Douglas County sheriff ’s deputy, occurred on the northbound lanes of I-25 near milepost 179, just south of Castle Rock. A trooper and the deputy were injured.

According to Colorado State Patrol Sgt. Rob Madden, both officers were taken to Castle Rock Adventist hospital to be treated for minor injuries and re-leased.

Colorado State Patrol said the inves-tigation into the incident shows three vehicles were involved in the crash and it appears the deputy and trooper were

outside of their vehicles at the time of the crash. The driver of the third vehicle lost control on the highway, and the ve-hicle hit the sheriff ’s deputy’s car.

The driver who caused the accident was cited for careless driving resulting in injury.

The patrol car slid toward a jersey barrier and hit both the trooper and the deputy. Both officers were “caught be-tween the jersey barrier and the vehicle” for a short time but escaped significant injuries by using their hands to push the sliding car off their bodies while being pinned, the state patrol explained on Twitter after the accident.

Another accident involving a state trooper happened about 10 miles south of Castle Rock on I-25.

A trooper’s vehicle was parked on the highway shoulder when a driver lost control and slid into it, Madden said. The trooper was inside the vehicle.

The impact sent the trooper’s vehicle off the road and down a 40-foot embank-ment. Neither the trooper nor the driver of the crashed vehicle were seriously in-jured and were not taken to a hospital.

O�cials take oathsNew year requires a lot of swearingFor the Tribune

Dec. 31, 2014, at 9 a.m. in Centennial Hall, Chief 4-th Judicial District Court Judge Gilbert Martinez administered to the oath of office to El Paso County Treasurer Mark Lowderman who began his first elected four year term in office on Jan. 1.

At the same time Judge Martinez ad-ministered the oath of office to interim El Paso County Sheriff Bill Elder, and interim El Paso County Assessor Steve Schleiker.

On Tuesday, January 13, 2015 the Chief Judge is expected to administer the oath of office to:

• El Paso County Commissioner Dar-ryl Glenn who will be starting his second four-year term in office.

• El Paso County Commissioner Peg-gy Littleton who will be starting her sec-ond four-year term in office.

• El Paso County Sheriff Bill Elder who will be starting his first four-year term in office

• El Paso County Assessor Steve Schleiker who will be starting his first four-year term in office

• El Paso County Surveyor Lawrence Burnett who will be starting his second four-year term in office

• El Paso County Clerk and Recorder

Chuck Broerman who will be starting his first four-year term in office.(accidently omitted in earlier email)

Colorado law requires that the newly elected County Treasurer must be in of-fice January 1. Therefore, County Trea-surer Mark Lowderman received the oath of office starting his first four-year term, Dec. 31, 2014.

The Board of County Commissioners has accepted the resignation of County Assessor Mark Lowderman who is leav-ing office Dec. 31 so he can assume his new duties as El Paso County Treasurer in compliance with statutory require-ments.

The Board has appointed Assessor-elect Steve Schleiker to serve as interim Assessor until the new term begins on the Jan. 13, at which time he will receive the oath marking the start of his first four-year term in office.

The Board of County Commissioners has accepted the retirement/resigna-tion of El Paso County Sheriff Terry Ma-keta effective Jan. 1 and has appointed Sheriff-elect Bill Elder to serve as in-terim Sheriff until the new term begins Jan. 13, at which time he will receive the oath of office marking the start of his first four-year term.

State law also requires that all depu-ties must be “sworn” to the newly elect-ed Sheriff in order to serve. Therefore a large “oath of office” event will held for the Sheriff ’s Office personnel at Pikes Peak Center at 10:30 a.m. on Jan. 13.

OPINIONY O U R S & O U R S

Spirit of George Kobalt lives on in Tribune “Howdy and good morning,” were at

the top of the page for the Palmer Lake - Monument News for the Jan. 15, 1965 edi-tion of the paper. It was the second issue.

George Kobolt ran a photo of himself, and a caption that said, “Don’t shoot this man, if you see him ‘casing the joint’ — It’s Editor Geo. Kobolt, in a light blue 1962 or a green 1963 Chevrolet (Wagon) and he is probably trying to show a merchant how advertising doesn’t cost — It pays!”

Years later, I would listen to ghost stories related of how old Geo. could be heard rattling around sometimes at night at what once was the reinforced basement of the former printing plant at 319 Perry Street in Castle Rock. The stories were most frequently focused on the area that was once under the presses known as the ‘morgue’ because it was where all the dead papers went.

“To answer the questions that arose from my visit to the Palmer Lake-Monu-ment Post Offi ces last Friday morning, and advertising calls made Monday by our Bob Shchultz — We are concerned about the success of the new paper,” Kobolt wrote.

“Because the Columbine Herald didn’t make it, and another paper is having its troubles. Yes, I am familiar with both in-stances for we printed for another gentle-man, the Columbine Herald. In those days, we were platen press printers and in my es-timation, no newspapers could be printed

economically in small quantities with that method. So, I held off until we purchased our present lithographic press.”

Kobolt was proud of the new equip-ment, and at the same time cautious and distant, about a competitive product sometimes printed in the Tri-Lakes market at the time.

“It is the largest press of its type between Denver and Colorado Springs — even Littleton. The other paper we print when it is brought to us to print. We are the only commercial printers for it, not editors or business managers — wonderful people endeavoring to put it out for the area.”

He answered a question about affi lia-tions with other nearby papers at the time. “Are you Geo. Kobolt, connected in any way with either of the Colorado Springs papers?”

“No. I am a printer. Independent as a married man can be, with a 24-year-old married daughter and a 16-year-old son.

I have no connections with the papers there — I’m just a little ‘feller’ competing in a world of tycoons,” he answered and expounded upon the things his new paper was not trying to do.

“You will see ads from here and there. That is the choice of the businessmen to make. Please, do not take it as an indica-tion that editor Geo. is trying to change your buying practices — Buy at home.

He noted the presence then of such fi ne establishments as Higby Mercantile, Glen-side Store, McCall Mercantile, Churches including Little Log Church, St. Peter Catholic, Monument Community Presby-terian and others.In closing, Geo. Kobolt had this to say about the new paper 50 years ago.

“This little Palmer Lake-Monument News is not out to cover the world — just the area of our local interest.”

The Palmer Lake - Monument News has maintained that strategy for those 50 years and eventually became, over time and dif-ferent editors and publishers, the Tri-Lake Tribune. The spirit of Geo. Kobalt lives on in the Tribune. Watch for details as we gear up to celebrate our fi rst 50 years of local publishing history, and the businesses, sources, readers, advertisers, and friends who helped make it possible in coming editions. And we will offer clues on where we are going for our next 200 years.

Katte and McKnight are basketball coaching legends In late October, former Denver Chris-

tian boys’ basketball coach Dick Katte published a book based on his career called “Over Time: Coach Katte on Basket-ball Life.”

Katte is the all-time winningest coach in Colorado history. His Denver Christian teams went 876-233 from 1964 through 2012, winning eight state championships along the way.

Katte explains that the secret to his suc-cess is simple and straightforward.

“Work very hard and demand the same from your team, adapt to the changes in players and parents over time and never waver from the core principles that make you one of the most honored and re-spected coaches in the nation’ high school basketball history,” Katte said.

Katte turned aside numerous chances to coach on a larger stage, choosing his role as mathematics teacher, coach and mentor to young people as well as to re-main very active in his church.

His book is a unique blend of faith, biography and basketball as Katte explains in detail the philosophies and special strat-egies that resulted in his 79 percent career winning percentage; among the highest in

state basketball history.During his career at Denver Christian,

Katte served in a variety of teaching and administrative roles, but always remained a math teacher. At times, he was also the school’s track, baseball and football coach. He was the school’s athletic director and assistant principal as well.

Katte has numerous coach-of-the-year honors and has been honored by the state and national coaches associations as well as for his work as athletic director. He is a member numerous halls of fames and served on Colorado High School Activities Association Executive Committee (now Board of Directors) twice.

Katte has survived two brushes with death: a brain aneurysm that burst during

neurosurgery performed by the closest friend, and a bout with cancer nine years later that required the removal of four feet in his small intestine.

At last check, Katte’s impressive vic-tory total places him 26th on the all-time list nationally. That brings me to my next point.

Before I arrived in Colorado in the fall of 2001, I wrote for several newspapers in southern California. Among the coaches I covered was Mater Dei’s Gary McKnight. Mater Dei is a parochial school in Santa Ana.

McKnight, 61, is a legend, not only in California, but on the national stage. He recorded his 1,000 career victory (the most in state history) on Dec. 12, making him the 14th high school boys’ basketball coach to reach the 1,000-win plateau.

Now in his 33rd year as a head coach (he has been at Mater Dei since 1983), McKnight joins names like Morgan Woot-ten, Ralph Tasker and Bob Hurley in the 1,000-win club.

Robert Hughes of Texas is the all-time wins leader at 1,333.

What distinguishes McKnight from others on that list is his win percentage, which stands at an all-time best .921 (1,006-88).That’s right, his teams have lost just 88 games in 33 years; an average of less than three per year. Mater Dei is 11-3 this season, with all of its losses coming to nationally-ranked teams from outside California.

McKnight has 31 league titles, 22 Cali-fornia Interscholastic Federation Southern Section titles and 11 state championships at the highest levels. His resume is easily among the most impressive in high school basketball history.

And like Katte, McKnight survived a cancer scare when he underwent surgery

18 years ago to remove a malignant mass in his ribcage. He since has tested cancer-free.

He has also battled with weight issues since he started coaching, and he is dia-betic.

Katte and McKnight are in rarifi ed air. I am blown away when I think of all the kids’ lives they have impacted over their long careers. They are truly inspirational coaches, teachers and leaders.

I need to mention one other coach in this column. Dan McKiernan won 598 games as a coach in Colorado, mostly at Palmer. A graduate of St, Mary’s - when the school was located in downtown Colorado Springs - McKiernan guided Palmer to a pair of state titles.

Now in his mid 70s, McKiernan - who began coaching in 1964 - is helping out as an assistant coach at Rampart this season under his son-in-law J’on St. Clair.

Summers

Time to re� ect Now that the yearend holidays are

finished, how about thinking about the past a bit?

In the recent weeks we have had weather to consider. It was warm for a while then the real winter started. In days like that it is hard to imagine what it was like over a hundred years ago. Not a fence to be seen. Antelope, deer and coyotes were all roaming with no interference.

When the first explorers from the east arrived, some two hundred years ago, it was all still pretty much like it had been for two hundred years before. It only took a few years for sizable changes to happen. Gold had been discovered in California, and there were thousands of people want-ing to go there. At first there were few trails to follow, and the best way to get there required a boat trip around South America! Those who did strike out across the country never made it all the way. Most settled somewhere along the way. Some met with disas-ters, and Indians. The trip in a covered wagon was long and hard. Some of the travelers stopped once they got to the mountains. They did not know just how many more mountains they would have to go over.

Those who settled here were not really interested in the beauty of these mountains, they occupied most of their days just doing what they had to in order to survive. Out on the plains, across what is now Kansas, those that stopped, had real problems. The ma-jority had to build their shelters out of

the only available resource, the dirt. A few discovered layers of rock that they could use, but there were not many trees around. As we travel through, it is hard to imagine that most of the trees we see now were planted by these first settlers. That was one thing they discovered, IF you could get water, lots of things would grow. The weather was usually good, but once the summer was over, winter could be seriously bad. Settlers usually found streams, and if possible a valley. Water for survival. Valleys for shelter from the winds. A daily trip to the stream, or for the really lucky ones a well, was a daily event.

It would be a long time before the convenience of electricity would arrive. Today, when we lose power, even for a minute, we take notice. Only a hundred years ago, when the first power plants started running, it was normal for only a couple hours of electricity a day! The idea of light after the sun went down was certainly important. Once that came along more changes came, like radio, then televi-sion, now computers, and internet. Those pioneers would have seen that as pure magic!

FORTY YEARS AGO:

Kim Davis, a 6th grader from Lewis Palmer Middle School won 1st place in the Colorado Springs Regional division and 5th in the state competition for a poster contest entitled “Plant Life-Soil Conservation. She drew a poster with the slogan “Trees hold birds up, soil down”. Kim hopes to pursue a career in art. She is the daughter of Mrs. Schott Davis of Woodmoor.

Elective night will be held at Lewis Palmer Middle School January 15. Re-freshments will be served by the Home Economics class.

Mike Shoaf, son of Mr. and Mrs. Er-nie Shoef, passed away January 4, 1975. He was born August 9, 1951 and suf-fered from MS most of his life.

The PTO Skate and Ski Swap will be

held Saturday, January 11, at the Mine Shopping Center. The sale will be from 1-4 p.m. Anything left will go to the Goodwill or Salvation Army. A small percentage of the sale will go to the Middle School. Dodie Whitlaw is help-ing to organize the event.

Monument Homemakers Extension held their Annual Christmas party on December 12. A delicious potluck was followed by a program called “Surprise”. The surprise was that the members sang Christmas carols. The pastors in attendance gave readings. Christmas songs were sung by Frontier Boy’s Vil-lage Choir. There was also a surprise visit from Santa who presented candy and popcorn balls to all children in at-tendance.

Tim Kruegar is now custodian at Lewis Palmer Elementary after the un-expected death of Mr. Roberts.

Mrs. Alma Roberts and her brother returned from Ozark, AR where they buried Mr. Roberts who passed away last Friday.

LIFET R I - L A K E S

Made in Monument:From hobby to livelihood, local brewer building businessBy Dave SmithContributing writer

A little longer than a decade ago, Chris and Judi Wright decided they were never leaving Monument. That decision led Chris to begin the process of turning his long-time hobby of home brewing beer into a career, perfecting his product until the time was right.

Pikes Peak Brewing Company opened for business in 2011. The brew pub serves food, crafts award-winning beers and sodas, and provides a casual place to hang out without leaving town. The company also cans its cre-ations, selling to about 150 vendors around Colorado.

“I always wanted my own business,” Chris Wright said. “I wanted to create something with my own hands and give back to the com-munity.

Before he opened Pikes Peak Brewing Company Wright brewed his own beer for about 15 years and one of his biggest joys is sharing it with others. Part of the reason the Wrights decided to make Monument their permanent home is because it is an environ-ment that they find encouraging.

“We lived where there are split-rail fences and encouraging neighbors,” he said. “And I shared my home brew with them. People are

hungry for those interpersonal relationships and bonding.”

With that in mind Wright wanted to cre-ate a third space for area residents to call their own. The first two spaces are home and work, but a place for where the community could bond and hang out is what he aimed for. The plan for the company began to develop as Wright sought to combine elements of a Brit-ish pub, coffee houses, breweries and bou-tique wineries in creating his unique spot.

“People like and identify with local (busi-nesses), want to drink local (products) and people identify with The Peak,” he said. Now he had his concept and name.

Every day since opening Wright calls a learning experience. And he has learned well based on the varied successes the company has tallied along the way. The brewery won Best Barrel Aged Beer and Best of Show at the Colorado State Fair, for example and busi-ness continues to boom for Wright and his “hobby.”

About a year after opening Wright added the large, open Barrel Room effectively dou-bling his space and capacity. The room has its own bar and features community tables that encourage people to share spaces and get to know their neighbors. In 2014 Wright expand-ed again, adding another 25 percent of space as demand increased.

“The reality is just how we have been em-braced by the community, that is out biggest success. We have awards and medals, but

the community is the most important to us,” Wright said.

“They have been able to provide the Tri-Lakes area with an amazing brew pub to go to and not have to travel,” said Terri Hayes, exec-utive director of Tri-Lakes Chamber of Com-merce and Visitors Center. “People are decid-ing they want to come to Monument to start businesses. We are business friendly. This is a great place to live and start a business.”

The physical expansion is most notice-able, yet it is indicative of growth of another kind: total sales are on the rise to the tune of 35 percent annually.

“At that rate there is a lot more reacting than planning,” Wright said with a laugh. “We are a bit of ahead of schedule since we start-ed. We didn’t expect to double in a year and a half, but that’s a good problem to have.”

About 75 percent of sales are in house. The wholesale sales are mostly for his canned beer, which is canned on site. He also has about 40 locations that serve his beers on tap. On brewing days he brews about 30 barrels at a time of his more popular brews. Because of the smaller operation Wright can be more flexible, filling kegs or cans as demand dic-tates.

“I have heard that Colorado is the Napa Valley of beer,” said Monument Mayor Rafael Dominguez. “They have great products and Chris Wright is a very smart guy with good business sense. They have a very great future, these are the stores that define Monument and put us on the map.”

There is a good variety of beer to be had at Pikes Peak Brewing Company. Wright of-fers between six and eight year round brews including Elephant Rock India Pale Ale, Sum-mit House Oatmeal Stout and Ascent Pale Ale. A unique beer, Penrose Private Reserve, is a Belgian Golden Ale aged in red wine barrels. There are two house-made sodas – root beer and sparkling lemon – on tap too.

There are seasonal beers as well, some of them associated with a particular cause. Wright shares proceeds from the sale of these beers with groups like Trout Unlimited, Colo-rado Springs Professional Firefighters Asso-ciation Local 5 and breast cancer research.

“”I love impacting people’s lives in a posi-tive way, Wright explained. “Whether through donations or drinking the beer, that’s what it’s about.”

“They give back. They brew special beers and give a percentage to (local) causes,” Hayes said. “They have helped the Chamber of Commerce raise money.”

For Wright, the success of his brewing ex-pertise is certainly welcome, however he is pleased with the process of making beer as much as anything else.

“I love everything about beer, it is artistic and scientific. It’s the whole package not just drinking,” he said. “Every brewing day is a good day. I love creating a product that peo-ple get passionate about and just enjoy. This is the most incredible gift you could ever imag-ine. So many believed in us and the product we are creating, it’s just unbelievable.”

ENROLLING NOW2015 SPRING SEMESTER

Made in Monument: Catriona Cellars is Unique, European, Monument By Dave Smith Contributing writer

Imagine yourself lounging on a sun drenched patio, the cool stones of the deck under foot, a gentle breeze rustling your hair and a large umbrella giving you just enough shade to make it comfortable. You lift the glass of deep red wine to your lips and drink in the rich liquid as hints of rasp-berry and cherry play across your palate. You smile and think about what a wonder-ful European experience you are enjoying.

But you are not in Europe or some other exotic land, you are right in the heart of Monument sitting on the patio at Catriona Cellars winery, cafe and tasting room. The three-building complex opened on Wash-ington Street in January 2014.

Owner and winemaker Woody Wood-worth has three passions in his life: His wife Catherine, being a musician, and wine making. He can enjoy two of them regularly at his business.

“Not many people can say they are working at their passion,” Woodworth said. “Wine is a huge passion of mine. I started making it about two decades ago and now I am living the dream.”

Catriona is a Gaelic rendering of Cath-erine’s name.

“She got the name, I got the winery,” Woodworth quipped.

The couple saw a need in Monument for a winery and an alternative eating es-tablishment so they converted their previ-ous business of nearly 20 years, Hy Country Feed & Garden to meet that need.

“Business changes,” Woodworth said, “so I decided to follow my dream and stay (in Monument). We felt the community would support us.”

Those years of working his passion led to Woodworth winning silver and bronze medals in the 2013 WineMaker Interna-tional Amateur Wine Competition, the largest competition of its kind in the world. That award-winning tradition continues through his work at Catriona Cellars. The Winery won nine medals at the 2014 Colo-rado State Fair Commercial Wine Compe-

tition including Best White Wine of Show and Best Overall Wine of Show for their Or-chard White wine.

Woodworth began making wine simply out of a desire to try it on his own. Making the jump from amateur to running his own winery was somewhat eye-opening.

“The biggest difference is the scale of the equipment, the amount of grapes and the gallons of wine we go through,” he said.

The winery bottles 1,200-1,500 cases of wine a year. Each 60 gallon barrel yields about 300 bottles. It takes about 16,000 pounds of grapes – from both California and Colorado – to produce the quantities of various types of wines offered at Catriona.

There are eight different wines currently available, but that changes. The most pop-ular wines are the fl agship Red Diva and of course the much decorated Orchard White. Woodworth said the company’s fi rst des-ert wine, a cherry chocolate fl avored wine called Maiden’s Kiss, will be ready soon. All of Catriona’s wines are bottled and stored

on site. Woodworth is examining the pos-sibility of selling it to some restaurants, but for now they are only available at the win-ery.

“We direct ship some to family and friends who have visited,” Woodward add-ed.

The cafe menu serves a variety of salads, platters, soups and sliders to pair with Ca-triona’s wines. If there is any uncertainty about which wine will pair best with which food a visit to the tasting room will solve the dilemma. The look and feel of the fa-cility is not the only thing European about it, the attitude and approach to dining are European as well.

“The patio in the summer is gorgeous, it is a very quaint place for people to come in and hang out,” Woodworth explained. “We don’t necessarily want to turn tables. We want it to be a place to relax and enjoy

conversation.”Terri Hayes, executive director of the

Tri-Lakes Chamber of Commerce and Visi-tors Bureau, thinks Catriona Cellars fi lls a void in the community.

“It’s unique. We needed a true winery and a place to go,” Hayes said, “Including a gorgeous outdoor area for those Fall and special nights. How I feel about Catriona Cellars is its just brought Monument up a notch.”

With 40 seats inside and another 52 out-side, there is ample room for a lunch date or a party. Weddings and other larger par-ties are welcomed.

“I would say it is the most upscale estab-lishment in the downtown area,” said Mon-ument Mayor Rafael Dominguez. “That is a destination in Monument, it’s a very nice place.”

While business grows and awards pile up, there is something in Woodworth’s atti-tude that refl ects the ambiance of his win-ery, something laid back and simple.

“I love to see the customers faces. I get to see enjoy the product we’ve made and that’s huge, a feeling most people do not get,” he said.

Stock show ready to ride again�ousands of visitors and exhibitors come to the National WesternBy Tom [email protected]

Denver officially becomes a “cow town” when the National Western Stock Show comes to town.

Longhorns will be driven the street in downtown Denver during the Jan 8 parade and National Western activities shift into high gear Jan. 10-25 at the Denver Coliseum, Stock Show Arena and Equestrian Center.

The National Western is called the Super Bowl of Livestock Shows and Sales for a good reason. There are judging compe-titions for horses, cattle, sheep, swine, goats, llamas, bison, yaks poultry and rabbits. Since space is fairly limited, animals are constantly moving in and out of the complex so that more than 15,000 head of livestock can take part in the judging competitions and sales

In addition to the livestock judging competitions, there also are numerous livestock sales where millions of dollars change hands as thousands of animals are sold to new own-ers.

While livestock activities go on almost constantly, the Na-tional Western Stock Show’s daily schedule also may include rodeos, displays and entertainment. The fact there is some-thing for almost everyone attracts hundreds of thousands of men, women and children through the turnstiles. For exam-ple, last year’s attendance was more the 628,000.

The multitude of livestock judging and sales plus more than 50 special events are held at a variety of locations. While the rodeo performances are in the held in the Denver Coli-seum, the majority of livestock show and sale activities plus some special events like livestock judging are centered at the National Western Stock Show Arena and the pens in the nearby stock yards and horse activities are held in the Events Center and Paddock located at the north end of the National Western complex.

The 16-day run of the National Western Stock Show is Colorado’s largest trade show with more than 350 vendors scheduled to be on the grounds this year. Many of the vendors will be located in the three-level Hall of Education near 46th Avenue.

The good news is parking is free but general admission ticket is required to get into the National Western Stock Show. The general admission ticket entitles the holder to visit the trade show, displays, stock shows and auctions. Ticket pric-es vary from $10 to $19 for everyone 12 and older with high priced tickets required on the weekend. Tickets for children under three to 11 are $2 to $3, depending on the day. Children under two get in free.

The general admission ticket also is good for visits to the Children’s Ranchland and petting farm are open daily on the third floor of the Expo Hall.

In addition to the petting farm, a variety of activities for children are scheduled in the Ames Activity Pavilion. Events on the schedule include stick horse rodeos, kid’s pedal-tractor pulls, horseshoe pitching and dummy roping contests. The pavilion is open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and the daily ac-tivity lists are posted on the National Western web site.

There about 50 special events that require admission tick-ets that range in price from $8 to $100 each. Each ticket in-cludes a National Western general admission ticket. Among the events on the entertainment schedule are two Mexican Rodeo Extravaganzas, three Professional Bull Riders events,

two Wild West shows, the Grand Prix horse jumping show, draft horse shows and the Martin Luther King Jr. African-American Heritage Rodeo.

There are also 19 rodeo performances during first stop of the year for members of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys As-sociation.

Each rodeo performance will include a full schedule of tra-ditional rodeo competitions plus there will be specialty acts are booked to perform during breaks between rodeo events.

At the other end of the National Western complex, the Events Center will be equally busy as the site of equestrian events that include daily schedule of riding and performance competitions. The Events Center is also the site of the Wild West Show, an event fashioned after the turn-of-the-century performances produced by Buffalo Bill Cody and other spe-cialty events.

Historically, livestock shows have been held in the Denver area since 1899 but none were regularly scheduled events. That changed in 1906 when the National Western Stock Show was held for the first time. The initial run was six days and an estimated 15,000 people attended.

The event became an annual event. The only year it wasn’t held was 1915 when it was cancelled ranchers and farmers were battling a nation-wide epidemic of hoof and mouth dis-ease.

Today’s National Western draws attendance from around the United States as well as Canada and a number of other countries. Locally, the event becomes a field trip each year for about 20,000 school children.

SALOME’S STARSFOR THE WEEK OF JAN. 5, 2015

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Events could inspire ad-venturous Lambs looking to make a major career or personal move. But as always, get all the facts before rushing into any sort of deal or commitment.

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) What seems to be a great opportunity could cause even usually practical Taureans to ignore their inner caution cues. Best to move carefully to avoid falling into unseen traps.

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Need a holiday now that the seasonal festivities are behind you? Good idea. Plan to go someplace wonderful. You’ll return refreshed and more than ready for a new challenge.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Progress continues to be made on that pesky workplace problem. Mean-while, don’t assume a personal situation will work itself out. Best to get more involved earlier than later.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Catnaps are definitely recom-mended for Leos and Leonas who had been going at a hectic pace over the holidays. Adding relaxation time to your schedule helps restore your overdrawn energy reserves.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Sure, some of the new friends you made over the holidays might move out of your life at some point. But at least one might show significant “staying power” with some encouragement.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Encourage family mem-bers to join you in supporting a relative who could be facing a difficult emotional challenge in the New Year. Showing your love and concern helps keep his or her hopes up.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) While a long-deferred decision suddenly might take on some urgency after news on a related matter, you still need to weigh all factors carefully before deciding one way or the other.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) This is a good time to reassess the earlier plan you made for the New Year. Some elements you felt you could depend on to make it work might no longer carry that assurance.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Forming a re-newed connection with a former associate is only the first step toward working out your new plans. Be prepared for problems, and deal with them as soon as they arise.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A romantic situation that was going smoothly not too long ago might take a new turn. Be honest about your feelings before you decide whether to follow it or take another path.

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) The wise Pisces (that’s you, of course) will make sure everyone knows you plan to keep your options open and listen to all sides of the situation before making any decisions.

BORN THIS WEEK: Your honest approach to life and living is always an inspiration for others fortunate enough to know you.

Legal marijuana brings modest tax boost Questions remain on just how much revenue it will bring in for Colorado By Kristen Wyatt Associated Press

To see the tax implications of legalizing marijuana in Colorado, there’s no better place to start than an empty plot of land on a busy thoroughfare near downtown Den-ver.

It is the future home of a 60,000-square-foot public recreational center that’s been in the works for years.

Construction costs started going up, leaving city offi cials wondering whether they’d have to scale back the project. In-stead, they hit on a solution — tap $3.2 mil-lion from pot taxes to keep the pool at 10 lanes, big enough to host swim meets.

The Denver rec center underscores how marijuana taxation has played through-out Colorado and Washington. The drug is bringing in tax money, but in the mix of

multibillion budgets, it is a small boost, not a tsunami of cash.

Much of pot’s tax production has been used to pay for all the new regulation the drug requires — from a new state agency in Colorado to oversee the industry, to addi-tional fi re and building inspectors for local governments to make sure the new pot-growing facilities don’t pose a safety risk.

And estimates for pot’s tax potential var-ied widely.

Some government economists predict-ed a huge boost to public coffers. Others predicted a volatile revenue stream that could spike wildly based on how consum-ers and the black market would respond.

Some even guessed that legal weed would cost more than it produced in taxes, through higher public safety costs and pos-sible expensive lawsuits because the drug remains illegal under federal law.

In Colorado, where retail recreational sales began Jan. 1, 2014, the drug has a total effective tax rate of about 30 percent, de-pending on local add-on taxes.

Through October, the most recent fi g-ures available, Colorado collected about

$45.4 million from sales and excise taxes on recreational pot sales.

That puts the state on pace to bring in less than the $70 million a year Colorado voters approved when the agreed to a state-wide 10 percent sales tax and 15 percent excise tax on recreational pot.

Voters set aside the fi rst $40 million in excise taxes for school construction; so far that fund has produced about $10 million.

But adding fees and licenses and the taxes from medical marijuana sales, Colo-rado had collected more than $60 million through October. Local governments can add additional taxes, too.

That’s what led to additional revenue streams like Denver’s $3.2 million for a big-ger pool at its rec center.

In Washington, where recreational pot sales began in July, recreational weed is taxed on a three-tier system as the plant moves from growers to processors to retail-ers. The total effective tax rate is about 44 percent.

State tax offi cials are just getting a look at the fi rst few months of pot taxes, and the money is coming in slowly because there

aren’t many stores there yet. State econo-mists have predicted pot sales will bring in $25 million by next July.

The state anticipates a $200 million in-crease by mid-2017, and about $636 million to state coffers through the middle of 2019.

There remain more questions than an-swers about pot’s tax potential.

A new president in 2017 could sue legal weed states to shut down sales completely.

And no one knows how the opening of new recreational markets will drain sales from Colorado and Washington. Oregon voters have approved retail pot sales begin-ning in 2016; Alaska has approved sales but it’s not clear when they’ll begin.

And the biggest market in the West — California — is expected to consider recre-ational pot legalization in 2016.

In other words, budgeters curious about marijuana’s tax potential will have to wait.

“If they’re looking at pot as something that might swoop in and save them, they need to keep looking,’’ said Joseph Hench-man, an analyst who has studied marijuana tax collections for the Tax Foundation, a nonpartisan tax think tank.

Local author ful�lls dream using camera and penFirst release expected in MarchBy Dave SmithContributing writer

Adriana Pogar, Palmer Lake, was a girl with a dream. Her dream was to travel the world as a photojournalist, viewing all she could take in and sharing it all through her camera’s lens. But starting a family damp-ened the high flying dream a bit, but only temporarily.

Pogar is releasing “The Perils of Penel-ope” books, parts 1-3 beginning in early 2015. She put her writing and photography skills together satisfying her desire to be a photojournalist while enjoying her family life at the same time.

“I started writing because I went through a rough patch and needed a creative out-let,” Pogar explained. “I started writing be-cause I could do it while my daughter was sleeping.”

The tale is a blend of adventure, fantasy and fairy tale with a dose of steam punk thrown in. It takes place in Edinburgh, Scotland in the 1920s where 13-year--old Penelope Collins, is beckoned by an en-chanted fox who wants her to follow him across the sea to an island where all sto-ries are created and where she will find her mother, the Weaver of Stories. Penelope and her father remember stories of the world before because they were on the is-land when the collective memory of stories was wiped out by forces of evil.

“I intended it to be short fairytale that my sister and I could do as a project over a weekend, but the more I wrote the longer it grew until I realized that the story I needed to tell needed to be in at least three books,” she explained.

Compiling the expanded story Pogar tells in the books provided an opportunity to use her beloved photography skills. It also presented a way for her to involve fam-ily and friends in the many photo shoots needed to properly illustrate the work.

“I’ve done approximately twelve shoots with dozens more to go,” she shared. “They’ve ranged from a shoot in my living room to Ivywild School to Bishop’s Castle. I’ve been wrangling family and friends but they are being good about it.”

Her photo shoots are not simply casual gatherings where people pose in mundane situations. They are more like theatrical productions where passersby are likely to stop and watch or even shoot their own photos of the process. A typical shoot may include a dozen people outfitted in fanta-

Colorado minimum wage rises in new yearPay rate is adjusted to $8.23 an hour, up 23 cents from 2014Associated Press

Minimum wage workers in Colo-rado are getting a small raise in 2015 because of annual adjustments re-quired by state law.

As of Jan. 1, Colorado’s minimum wage is $8.23 an hour, up 23 cents from last year. Restaurant servers and other tipped workers must be paid a minimum of $5.21 an hour in the new year.

Colorado is one of more than a dozen states increasing their mini-mum wages. The hike comes as Boulder explores raising its mini-mum wage above the state’s and as

fast-food workers campaign nation-ally to gain $15 an hour pay.

The minimum wage here is now over $3 more than it was in 2006, when Colorado voters backed rais-ing it and tying future increases to inflation. According to some esti-mates, about 80,000 Coloradans earn minimum wage.

The Colorado Constitution re-quires the state’s minimum wage to be adjusted annually for inflation as measured by the Consumer Price In-dex used by the state.

The federal minimum wage has remained unchanged at $7.25 since 2009. Under Colorado law, employ-ers will have to pay employees cov-ered by federal law the higher Colo-rado minimum wage.

If an employee’s tips combined with the employer’s cash wage of at

least $5.21 per hour do not equal the minimum hourly wage, employers are required to make up the differ-ence.

Another new law allows the Colo-rado Department of Labor to pursue employers accused of wage theft.

State Rep. Jonathan Singer, a co-sponsor of the Wage Protection Act, said complaints can be filed with the department.

“Now (the department will) be able to mediate situations that are just misunderstandings, investigate when there’s actual wrongdoing and bring justice,” Singer said.

The new law requires employers to keep records of their employee payrolls for three years. If a business fails to keep those records, it could be subject to a $250 fine per employ-ee, up to a maximum of $7,500.

Adriana Pogar sits above the scene to get a better perspective for a photo while actors move into place. She is shooting the photographs for her upcoming fantasy/fairy tale books about a young girl named Penelope.

sy or medieval type garb replete with wings and weaponry. Swords, bows and arrows, viking and ninja look a likes and simulated battle scenes help put the reader in the midst of Penelo-pe’s perils.

Pogar’s plan is to release the first book in March, but it will be done in a way that hearkens to days gone by, as far as publishing goes. She is self-publishing, but the book will be released as a serial, one magazine-

length volume every other month. It will be available on Amazon.com and on her website, www.adrianacarlson-author.com which is still being com-pleted.

“I am doing it old school,” Pogar said. “Like Dickens or Lucy Montgom-ery who wrote Anne of Green Gables.” The second and third books will be re-leased in similar fashion in 2016 and 2017.

In the mean time Pogar will con-tinue to live out her story by telling the story of Penelope. If you want to see how her young heroine fares, tune in come March.

Lewis-Palmer hockey team ranked eighth in the statePrep winter sports teams back in action this weekBy Danny [email protected]

The Lewis-Palmer hockey team, a com-bined District 38 squad with players from Palmer Ridge, is ranked eighth in the state in the latest Colorado High School Activities Association poll.

The Rangers (4-3) were the lone new-comer to the Top 10 poll last week. The rankings, voted upon by coaches and select media members, are the official polls of the Association. Polls are released each Mon-day.

Ralston Valley continued its stay atop the ranking and received six of the eight first-place votes. Regis Jesuit (No. 3) and Mon-arch (No. 5) each got one first-place vote.

DRAPER MAKES ALL-STATE FOOT-BALL FIRST TEAM

Discovery Canyon senior Dylan Draper was selected to the First Team Class 3A All-State Football squad by a panel of coaches and media members selected by CHSAA. Draper made the squad as a wide receiver/linebacker.

Several of Draper’s teammates made the All-State Second Team: Beau Beattie (Jr., of-

fensive lineman/defensive lineman), Mitch Carter (Sr., WR/defensive back/kicker), Isaac Charlson (Sr., OL/DL) and Andrew Hall (Sr., quarterback/cornerback).

SCOTT, CAMERON AND BALL FILL-ING UP THE NETS

Who is best boys’ basketball player in the Tri-Lakes area this season? There are at least three players that are making a strong case.

Lewis-Palmer junior Jonathan Scott is averaging 21.3 points per game. Scott scored a career-high 46 points against Fred-erick on Dec. 6. The guard has scored 20-plus points in each of his last five games.

Scott is also tied for the team-lead in rebounds per game (5.1) with senior J.T. Shepherd.

Lewis-Palmer is 3-4 on the seasonPalmer Ridge senior Matt Cameron is av-

eraging a team-leading 20.8 points and 5.5 rebounds, while leading the Bears to a 6-0 record - the best start in school history.

Cameron scored a season-high 34 points against Steamboat Springs on Dec. 13. He has 20-plus points in three games.

Ball, a 6-foot-6 senior, leads the Titans in points (18.3) and rebounds (13.6) per game. TCA is 3-4.

Ball has two games with 26 points and another game with 25. He’s had 16 re-bounds in a game three times this season, and has been in double figures in rebounds every game.

Sam Turner on course to battle for another state wrestling titleDiscovery Canyon junior is ranked �rst in the state in Class 4A at 132 poundsBy Danny [email protected]

Sam Turner was an eighth-grader at Discovery Canyon Campus when his big brother, Steve, won a Class 4A state wres-tling championship at the Pepsi Center in 2012. Sam was one of the first people to greet Steve when he came off the mat to the cheers of hundreds of adoring Thunder fans.

Last February, Sam won his first state wrestling championship as a sophomore at 120 pounds. One of the first people to give him a big bear hug was Steve, who was home on break from college to watch his little brother battle for the crown.

It was great to have him there,” Sam said. “It really meant a lot to me.”

Steve, who is now wrestling for the Air Force Academy, enjoyed a stellar high school career, finishing third as a senior and sixth as a freshman.

But Sam is well on his way to becoming the most accomplished wrestler in the fam-ily. Sam took second at state as a freshman at 106 pounds. He is ranked No. 1 in the state this season at 132 pounds by OnThe-Mat, which is run by Monument resident Tim Yount.

“I try not to compare (Sam and Steve),” said Discovery Canyon coach Ron Sukle. “They are totally different kids.

“Sam is very aggressive. He’s a very skilled wrestler. He’s confident in his abil-ity.”

Sam has a career record of 85-9 (35-6 as a freshman, 39-2 as a sophomore and 11-1 this season).

Sam has won 11 consecutive matches since losing his first match (6-4) to Zach Martinez of 5A Mountain Range.

“I wasn’t mentally prepared for that match,” Sam said. “I really believe if we wrestled again the outcome would be quite different.”

Sam readily admits he would like to be-come a three-time state champion. But in order to accomplish that goal he will need to win his second title at next month’s state meet, which is scheduled for Feb. 19-21 at the Pepsi Center.

“It’s easy to psych yourself out if you look too far ahead and don’t stay in the moment,” Sam said. “I wouldn’t say I’m the most physical wrestler there is, but I’m

pretty technical.”Of Sam’s 11 victories this season, eight

are pins, two are major decisions and one is a tech fall.

“Sam won the (University of Northern Colorado Christmas Tournament) and there were a lot of good wrestlers there,” Sukle said. “He can hold his own against anybody in any division.

“We just have to stay focused to the end.”Sam is wrestling junkie. That is due

in large part to his father, Steve, Sr., who placed fourth at the state meet for Air Acad-emy High School as a senior in 1982.

Years ago, Steve, Sr., converted the fam-ily’s three-car garage into a wrestling room, and the one-car garage into a gymnasium.

Steve, Sr., wrestled for the Air Force

Academy and was a team captain his senior year.

“I guess you could say wrestling runs in the family,” Sam said with a smile. “I pretty much train year-round with guys from my own team and from around the area.”

Among Sam’s regular wrestling partners at Discovery Canyon are fellow juniors Spencer Reynolds (138) and Spencer Mc-Crary (145)

Sam is already getting serious looks from Division I programs Air Force and UNC, as well as Division II Western State.

“I hope to decide on a college before my senior year,” Sam said.

There are seven Discovery Canyon grad-uates wrestling in college - Steve Turner, Adrian Mack. AJ Rees, Garrett Adams, Nick

Adams, David Traynor and Tyler Oberg.Discovery Canyon has become a staple

on the state wrestling scene. It took second as a team in 2013 when it sent 11 grapplers to the Pepsi Center, and sixth last year. The Thunder is ranked eighth now.

“We’re young this season,” Sukle said. “We have no seniors.

“But I’m not too worried about the rank-ings. This is the time we have to focus and do the things we need to do to be successful at regionals and state.”

Discovery Canyon will travel to Golden for the regional tournament Feb. 14-15.

Among the underclassmen wrestling for the Thunder this season is Sam’s younger brother, Jared, a freshman who goes at 113 pounds.

Police gun deaths up, but still below average Tra� c fatalities added to law enforcement toll By Amanda Lee Myers Associated Press

The number of law enforcement of-ficers killed by firearms jumped by 56 percent in 2014 and included 15 ambush deaths. But gun-related police deaths still remain far below historic highs and lower than the average annual figures in the past decade, according to a report released Dec. 30.

The annual report by the nonprofit National Law Enforcement Officers Me-morial Fund found that 50 officers were killed by guns in 2014. That’s higher than the 32 such deaths in 2013 but the same as 2012 figures.

In 2011, 73 officers were killed in gun-fire, the most in any year in the past de-

cade. The average since 2004 is 55 police deaths annually.

In all, the report found that 126 fed-eral, local, tribal and territorial officers were killed in the line of duty in 2014. That’s a 24 percent jump from 102 on-duty deaths in 2013, though below the average annual figures since 2004 and the all-time high of 156 in 1973, said Steve Groeninger, a spokesman for the memorial fund.

Of the 126 officer deaths this year, shootings were the leading cause, fol-lowed by traffic-related fatalities, at 49.

The increase in gun-related deaths among officers in 2014 followed a dra-matic dip in 2013, when the figure fell to levels not seen since the 19th century.

The 2014 uptick came amid increased tension between police and the pub-lic following the high-profile deaths of unarmed black men by white police of-ficers, including those of Eric Garner in New York and Mike Brown in Ferguson,

Missouri.The states that saw the most officer

deaths were California, at 14; Texas, at 11; and New York, at nine. Florida fol-lowed with six deaths, and Georgia had five, according to the report.

The 15 ambush assaults on police of-ficers in 2014 compared to just five in 2013, but matched 2012 for the highest total since 1995, the report said.

“We’ve been talking about this well before the Michael Brown and Eric Gar-ner incidents, and the protests over those particular cases — that there has been a very prevalent anti-government sentiment in this country for some time now, and I do believe that anti-govern-ment sentiment can influence weak-minded individuals to commit violent acts against law-enforcement officers,’’ said Craig Floyd, chairman and CEO of the memorial fund.

“That’s at least part of the reason we’re seeing this increase in ambush-style at-

tacks, officers being targeted simply be-cause they’re cops in uniform,’’ Floyd said.

Among the ambush assaults were the fatal attacks on two police officers in New York City on Dec. 20. Officers Wen-jian Liu and Rafael Ramos were gunned down in their patrol car by Ismaaiyl Brinsley, who then ran into a subway station and killed himself. Brinsley had made threatening posts online and ref-erences to the Garner and Brown cases.

Floyd also pointed to the fatal shoot-ing of two Las Vegas police officers am-bushed in June as they were eating lunch in a pizza shop, and a Pennsylvania state trooper killed in an ambush in Septem-ber by a survivalist who then led police on a 48-day manhunt.

Sam Turner on course to battle for another state wrestling title

Adams, David Traynor and Tyler Oberg.Discovery Canyon has become a staple

on the state wrestling scene. It took second as a team in 2013 when it sent 11 grapplers to the Pepsi Center, and sixth last year. The Thunder is ranked eighth now.

“We’re young this season,” Sukle said. “We have no seniors.

“But I’m not too worried about the rank-ings. This is the time we have to focus and do the things we need to do to be successful at regionals and state.”

Discovery Canyon will travel to Golden for the regional tournament Feb. 14-15.

Among the underclassmen wrestling for the Thunder this season is Sam’s younger brother, Jared, a freshman who goes at 113 pounds.
