Borman announces retirement A� er six years with district, his last day will be Dec. 31 Sta� report

Lewis-Palmer School District Superin-

tendent John Borman announced his re-tirement at a special meeting of the board of education Thursday night. Borman said his last day with the school district will be Dec. 31.

He plans to pursue another professional opportunity.

He said, “It’s been an in-credible privilege to serve this district, both as a prin-cipal and superintendent. This is the top district in the state. We have an out-standing staff and amazing kids. I will work with the board for a seamless lead-ership transition. I look forward to watching the district continue to grow and excel.”

Borman has worked in the district for six and a half years, fi rst as principal of Lewis-Palmer High School, then as super-intendent since 2011. Under his leadership, District 38 has remained one of the top dis-tricts in Colorado.

Board of Education President Mark Pfoff said, “This is an example of what happens when you recruit and hire great people: they get hired away. We wish all the best to Mr. Borman, and thank him for all he has done for our kids, staff, district and com-munity.”

Lewis-Palmer District 38 serves the population of Monument, Palmer Lake and the Tri-Lakes area in the northern part of El Paso County.

It is accredited with distinction by the state of Colorado, and sends more than 85 percent of its students on to postsecond-ary education. For more on District 38, go to www.lewispalmer.org

Tra� c signals to be installed on Northgate By Lisa Collacott

Parents can breathe a sigh of relief now

that the busy street in front of Discovery Canyon Campus will be a little safer.

The city of Colorado Springs is sched-uled to install a signal light and a mid-block pedestrian only signal light on Northgate Boulevard. The lights are something that parents and school staff have wanted to see for a long time.

“We’ve had numerous requests in that area,” Kathleen Krager, transportation manager for the city engineering depart-ment for Colorado Springs, said.

Krager said the pedestrian signal will be installed in December and will be located on Northgate Boulevard near Old North-gate Road. Pedestrians will be able to cross Northgate Boulevard safely. James Bailey,

principal of DCC high school, said he just found out recently that the pedestrian sig-nal will be installed next month. He said he doesn’t know the exact location of the sig-nal but said it will most likely be east of the elementary school entrance.

“The fact that we are getting a light is a real bonus. There’s no protection there. Having a pedestrian light will really help for students on the east side of Northgate,” Bailey said, adding that the installation of the fl ashing light for the school speed zone in front of the school has really helped.

A signal light will also be installed at the intersection of Northgate Boulevard and Silverton Road which is located at the east-ern edge of the school campus. Krager said that signal light is scheduled to be installed in January. The light will help with traffi c fl ow for cars particularly traveling west on Northgate.

“The light up at Silverton will create some pockets and help with students and parents turning into the school,” Bailey said.

Bailey said one of the long-term plans for the school is to eventually open up the

A mid-block pedestrian only signal will be installed on Northgate Boulevard just east on Old Northgate Road next month. The pedestrian signal will allow safer access for students of DCC crossing Northgate. Photos by Lisa Collacott

Hat� eld blames ex-husband in boy’s death By Melanie Brubaker Mazur Special from Pine River Times

Editor’s note: The following story by Melanie Brubaker Mazur appeared in the Pine River Times Thursday, Nov. 14. It is used here with permission.

On Nov. 19, 2012, her son disap-peared.

Eight months later, a few of his bones were found on Middle Mountain near Vallecito.

Almost a year after his disappearance, Elaine Hatfi eld and her fi ancé, Mike Hall, and her surviving son, Cory Red-wine, are holding a memorial service for Dylan Redwine, who was 13 when he disappeared.

Services were at 10 a.m. Saturday at Pine Valley Church on County Road 501 north of Bayfi eld High School. After-ward, there was a dedication of a stone bench in Pine River Cemetery, followed by lunch at the church.

In a telephone interview on Tues-

day evening (Nov. 12), Elaine Hatfi eld remembered the diffi culty of the past year.

“The worst part was fi nding Dylan’s bones scattered on the mountain,” she said. “But it was somewhat bittersweet, because we had found him. We prom-ised we’d fi nd him. But he should never have gone missing in the fi rst place.”

In June, investigators found some of his remains. They haven’t said exactly

A year has passed since Dylan Redwine went missing near Bayfi eld, Colo., and a candlelight vigil was held in Monument Saturday, (Nov. 16) at the bandstand at Limbach Park. The boy’s body was recovered earlier this year but no one has been charged. Photo by Rob Carrigan

Body found along with meth labStaff report

On Nov. 13 at 10:59 a.m., the sheriff’s office received a request from a probation officer to attempt to locate a probation client at a home in the 2800 block of Hunters Glen Road. The probation client had an active warrant for his arrest, according to a release from the sheriff’s office.

Entry was made into the home and a de-ceased adult male was found.

There were no obvious signs of foul play at the scene and no outward signs of trauma seen during autopsy; final autopsy results are pending toxicology results. Identification of the body will not be released until next of kin notifications are made, reports said.

Also found in the home was an active meth-amphetamine lab. Because of the inherent risks of meth labs, the sheriff’s office HAZMAT team responded. The investigation is ongoing and more information will be released once it is made available.

District 38 earns AP award District is the only in Colorado to make list four consecutive times Sta� report

Lewis-Palmer School District No. 38

has been placed in the top three percent of school districts in the nation for success in Advanced Placement courses for high school students.

Lewis-Palmer is the only district in Col-orado that has been placed on the College Board Advanced Placement Honor Roll four times in a row, and is the only district in El Paso County to receive the honor this year.

The award is given to districts with col-lege-level; advanced placement courses

that simultaneously expand those offerings while maintaining high achievement lev-els. AP courses teach advanced curriculum, and give students the chance to earn col-lege credit while still in high school.

“Our community values high academic standards and we strive to provide excel-lent learning opportunities,” said Lewis-Palmer Superintendent John Borman. “We have very talented educators who are able to teach these advanced courses, and a growing number of students who are en-thusiastic to take on the challenge.”

District 38’s two high schools, Lewis-Palmer and Palmer Ridge, offer more than 16 advanced placement courses in subjects like European history, language and com-position, government, Spanish, art, biolo-gy, calculus, chemistry, literature, statistics and other topics. More AP class options are planned to be added beginning next fall.

Work session on � re code changes scheduled Sta� report

The Board of El Paso County Commis-

sioners will hold a work session on Nov. 21 to receive information and public input on the proposed adoption of the 2009 Inter-national Fire Code including local amend-ments.

The work session will start at 10:30 a.m. following the regular BoCC meeting in the Centennial Hall Auditorium at 200 S. Cas-cade Ave. in downtown Colorado Springs.

Along with the adoption of the 2009 In-ternational Fire Code, a variety of amend-ments to existing local fi re code regula-tions are being proposed by the following

fi re departments: Black Forest, Cimarron Hills, Westcott, Security, Hanover and Pey-ton. The proposed changes include addi-tional requirements to control vegetation, minimum water fl ow requirements for fi re protection, access required for fi refi ghting equipment, as well as changes in regula-tions on sprinkler systems, storage of fl am-mable materials inspection fees and penal-ties.

SALOME’S STARSFOR THE WEEK OF NOV 21, 2013

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Although your energy level is high, be careful not to commit to too many projects at this time. You’ll do better focusing on just a few tasks rather than spreading yourself too thin.

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Your heart might be leading you in one direction, but pay attention to your keen Bovine intellect. I’m cautioning you to think things through before making any commitments.

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Your “serious” Twin has been dominant in your life for quite a while. It’s time now to let that “wilder” half take you out for some good times -- perhaps with someone very special.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Career aspects are high for Moon Children who make a good impres-sion. Show people not only what you can already do, but also how you can be more valuable to them in the future.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Things start to brighten for the Lion’s immediate financial future. But be careful to resist the urge to splurge. You need to tuck something away to help you through another tight period.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Having to do too many tasks in too short a time could lower your mood to just above the grumbling level. But if you handle things one at a time, you’ll get through it all soon enough.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Your usually carefully made holiday plans could be subject to change later this month. Use this week to prepare for that possibil-ity by starting a Plan B just in case you need it.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Be careful about join-ing a colleague’s plan to solve a workplace problem. Investigate it thoroughly. Otherwise, you could find yourself in a predicament with other associates.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Slow down that high-paced whirl you’ve been on. Spending quiet time alone or with people you care for can be both physically and spiritually restorative.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Make sugges-tions, not demands. You’ll be more successful in get-ting people to follow your lead if you exercise quiet patience instead of strong persuasion to get your ideas across.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) You still need more facts before you can make an informed career choice. One note of caution: Be careful about whom you ask for that information; otherwise, you could be misled.

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Changing situations through the end of the week could lead to some challenging opportunities for those perspicacious Pisceans who know how to make them work to their advantage.

BORN THIS WEEK: You have a way of being both daring and cautious, traits that could make you a research scientist or maybe even a rocket-ship de-signer.

My handbag is too good for me

I received a designer handbag for Christmas. It was gorgeous and everything I hoped it would be.

The lining was silky-smooth. The out-side design displayed the brand name. I felt proud to have it on my arm.

I could see people looking at the bag from the corner of my eye.

Yes, it’s authentic, I thought. Keep on looking.

The problem is that I’m too white trash to carry the bag.

Sometimes I wear sweatpants with dress shoes and pearls with stained T-shirts.

My bag doesn’t like my chipped nails and is too special for the dress I bought at the Family Dollar Store.

And it lets me know it, too.Its nose is in the air when I step into No

Frills Supermarket wearing my Lady Gaga concert shirt.

It secretly whispers to me, “I should be worn with Armani.”

It mocks my Cover Girl makeup.It urges me to shop Von Maur.It wants me to buy a Mercedes, but I

only have a Chevrolet Aveo with no hub-caps.

What does one do when she is too much of an everyday girl for her own bag?

I retired it to the closet. I grabbed my old handbag and went to garage sales.

But the bag continued to haunt me.It was like the Tell-Tale Handbag.I could hear the beating of its hideous

heart inside my closet.“Bring me to the store — but please

wear Jimmy Choo shoes,” it says.I fi nally decide to carry the bag with me

at all times, even though it craves caviar and champagne nights but instead has to put up with Mad Dog 20/20 and crack-ers topped with Cheez Whiz.

“Deal with it,” I say, “this is me.”And I think the bag is OK with that now.

some serious changes going on. One of them had to do with cars. The most amaz-ing car in the country was the Ford Model T. It was introduced in 1908 and each year saw more of them on the road.

They were easy to drive, as compared to other cars. They were being mass pro-duced, unlike others that were handcraft-ed. There really unusual problem was that they were really easy to steal!

The discovery of this problem was really novel. It was happening all over the coun-try, but mostly in places like here! Who was stealing Fords? School boys mainly!

Starting an old car was not easy. I am sure you have seen how it was done, and maybe have even done it. There were no electric starters on most cars back then. You had to set the spark on the ignition, and then crank the engine over from the front of the motor. Hopefully you also remembered to take it out of gear.

The cranking usually started the motor running. You had to get back in the seat and adjust the ignition, and sometimes fuel, before getting the motor running smoothly. A young man somewhere fi g-ured out another way. The word spread, and this was before electronic communi-cations!

Our young man discovered that if you found a Ford, or even another similar car, on a hill, it could be started. The driver simply depressed the clutch, and off it rolled. This was before there were two developments — emergency brakes and

locks on ignitions. Once the car was rolling at a reasonable speed, the motor could be started by simply releasing the clutch once the ignition was ready.

All around Fords were being reported stolen, usually in the afternoon after school. They were usually found later, sometimes out of gas, not far away. It did not take the police, and even car owners, long to fi gure out how this was happen-ing. It did take a while for the solution to be fi gured out. In places with no hills, cars were not as easy to steal, but owners actu-ally helped!

The car was hard enough to start, that often they were simply left running while the owner was doing a bit of quick shop-ping. Cars are still stolen because of that.

Soon the key ignition switch came along. It helped eliminate the casual joy rider, as they were called. The newspapers of the day were full of ideas as to how to stop these thefts, but we still see the prob-lem today! The other big complaint in the day is also still around — speeding!

What do Jimmy Stewart, Barry Manilow have in common? A few of us were sitting around the

offi ce a while back and out of the blue my editor, Rob Carrigan, stated “You can tell a lot about a person by their favorite movie.”

Two seconds later I responded with “It’s a Wonderful Life.”

Rob asked me “What version?” Without hesitation I told him “The Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed version. That’s the only version that counts.”

I got to thinking about Rob’s statement of knowing a lot about a person by their favorite movie. But more on that later.

Our conversation eventually turned to favorite songs and musical groups. I explained that I was somewhat diverse in my musical tastes. I liked country before country was cool; which I think was about the mid 1980s, although the 1980 movie “Urban Cowboy” got a lot of people think-ing that country might be cool.

I explained to Rob why I was a Beatles man over the Stones. I told him I like to rock now and then, but Boston was about as far to that side of the aisle as I would go. I mentioned that I liked the early songs of the Rock and Roll era from Elvis the Pelvis to Chuck Berry, as well as 1970s and 1980s pop.

But ultimately, I said with confi dence, that my favorite style of music was prob-ably ballads; especially the kind that dripped with love lost and love found. I then I mentioned that Barry Manilow was my main man when it came to that style of music. At that point you could have heard a pin drop in the room.

I am confi dent enough in my manhood to be able to admit - without hesitation - that I love Barry Manilow ballads.

You see, I’m a heart guy. I wear my emo-tions on my sleeve much of the time. I like to ask questions - that’s probably why I’m a reporter - and I love to fi nd out about people and what makes them excited and how they got to this point in their lives.

Movies and music are two things that generally stir up emotions in a person. They take us back to a time and place and remind us of special people in our lives and some of those great and not so great times.

Now back to It’s a Wonderful Life. So why do I place that movie No. 1 on my list? Before I answer that question you must look at the rest of my Top 5 - in order: Rocky, Field of Dreams, Scrooge (the Albert Finney 1970 version) and Hoosiers. Making their way into the top 25 would be Forrest Gump, The Sandlot, Bruce Almighty, The Shawshank Redemption, Green Mile, Citizen Kane, Glory, the Best of Times and the Grapes of Wrath.

I love It’s a Wonderful Life because I believe it defi nes who and what we should strive to be as people. Selfl ess hoarding, as in the case of Mr. Potter, leads to a miser-able life. Sacrifi cial giving, as exemplifi ed by George Bailey, leads to a most wonder-ful life.

George, of course, failed to realize this until it was brought to his attention by Clarence Odbody, AS2 (Angel Second Class). Clarence was given a snapshot of George’s life and came to know him as

a gentle, giving, kind and loving human being. Clarence didn’t transform George, he just allowed him to see what life around him would have been like had he never been born.

I must not be the only one who enjoys this movie. NBC, as most of you know, shows this fi lm each Christmas Eve. The movie has a larger following today than when it was released in 1946.

By the way, Rob’s favorite movie is “Cool Hand Luke.” A classic and defi nitely in the Danny Summers top 25. Rob loves the opening scene when Luke, played by Paul Newman, gets arrested. Luke is drunk as a skunk and sitting on a sidewalk after cut-ting off the tops of parking meters. Great scene indeed.

My favorite scene of the movie is when the Captain (the prison warden played by Strother Martin) addresses the prisoners, mainly Luke, by saying “What we’ve got here is a failure to communicate.” I know that I am not alone in being a fan of that line.

So what is your favorite movie or song or band? We would like to fi nd out. Thanks for your input.

Too stunned to believe what they were seeing Since the advent of airplanes, stretching

nearly back to the Wright brothers, there has been air shows in Colorado. And al-most since then, distinctively in Colorado, there has been air show disasters.

Ralph Johnstone, who was trained by the Wright Brothers at Wright Flying School, of course established the pattern when he dropped from the sky in front of thousands of spectators at Overland Park in Denver in 1910.

Arch Hoxsey, the other half of the ‘Stardust Twins’ as he and Johnstone were known for their exploits in Wright Exhibi-tion Flying Team, crashed and was killed a very similar crash about a month later on New Year’s Eve in a Los Angeles accident while trying set the altitude record. Just a few hours before taking off in that effort, Hoxsey had telegrammed his condolences to the family John Bevins Moisant, who died in air crash near New Orleans the day before.

Flying was hazardous in those early days.

But it was still deadly 40 years later.

“Flagler, Colo. — As the single-engine plane roared toward the crowd, Lyle Stone saw his parents each grab two children under their arms, jump off the low air fi eld fence, and run as fast as they could. Moments later, virtually everyone left on the fence was killed as the plane cut through the crowd like scythe. Twenty were killed including the pilot,” according to Kit Miniclier of the Denver Post in article commemorating the 50th anniversary of the tragedy. Of the twenty, thirteen were children.

“Rhynold Fager remembers seeing a friend on her knees, dying, impaled by a

propeller blade. Charlie Keller, whose wife and two children were killed that day, was able to identify his wife’s remains only by a birthmark on her leg.”

Today, a granite memorial with the names of those killed on Sept. 15, 1951, rests in a park across I-70 from the airfi eld.

William Barker, a Denver Post reporter that was covering the event at the time described it this way in the Post and the weekly Flagler News the next day:

“The plane crashed into the stunned mass of spectators from an altitude of less than 200 feet, cutting a bloody swath and strewing gasoline-drenched wreckage over a 150-yard area… The chaos that followed is beyond description … it was like the end of the world. Bodies were everywhere. The blood was everywhere too,” wrote Barker in 1951.

“I stopped as the scene ravaged my senses. Cars crushed. Bodies … and parts of bodies … Blood on staring faces. People milling like sheep around the fallen. Voices rising and falling oddly, without hysteria. Without panic. Stunned. Too stunned yet

to believe what we were all seeing.”Flagler, a town of only 600, had a hos-

pital, but only two doctors, John C. Straub and William L. McBride. McBride, it was said, had delivered nine of the 13 children killed in the disaster. Medical personnel from miles around soon arrived to help out.

Though it was the worst, the Flagler incident was not Colorado’s last air show mishap.

In June of 1997, and Korean War-era F-86 fi ghter jet performing before a crowd estimated at 50,000 at air show in Broom-fi eld, crashed in a massive fi reball after failing to pull out of a steep dive. Retired Colonel, “Smiling Jack” Rosamond, 63, the pilot of jet was the only casualty when the plane plowed into the ground 300 yards from the nearest spectators.

In October of 2000, again it was only the pilot killed, when the Russian-made Sukhoi 26X, spun out of control at the Telluride airport during an air show, crashed near the runway and burst into fl ames, killing pilot Kent Pfl eider, of Grand Junction.

Local citizens’ group helps defeat mill levy override Appeals to D38 citizens to volunteer for audit committee

Although offi cial results are still pend-ing, it appears that Lewis-Palmer School District 38 set an El Paso County record for the highest percentage of voting by registered voters in an off year election.

“Our organization played a key role in helping to turn out this record vote,” said Ana Konduris, DIRECTION 38! President.

“A record 60 percent of area voters (13,211) gave voice to their concerns in this off-year election,” Konduris contin-ued. “Three themes surfaced as we spoke to thousands of area voters about the un-popular MLO ballot measure: trust, taxes, and turnout.”

“By soundly defeating Issue 3A, the citizens living in Lewis-Palmer School District 38 sent a clear message to the

D38 Leadership Team that they want con-structive and collaborative change”, Kon-duris said.

DIRECTION 38! was founded in 2009 to ensure broader community represen-tation within Lewis-Palmer school dis-trict. “We remain committed to D-38 continuing its longstanding tradition of excellence” says DIRECTION 38!’s Secre-tary and Public Information Offi cer Jody Richardson.

“We want community collaboration

and we seek transparency and account-ability of D-38 leaders. DIRECTION 38! is a grassroots organization of concerned parents, teachers, and other members of the Tri-Lakes community. Its mission is to provide a balance of information and discussion regarding current educational issues affecting our local area and state.DIRECTION 38! is a not-for-profi t organi-zation under Internal Revenue Code Sec-tion 501(c)4,” Richardson added.

“One place where change could begin immediately is to appoint volunteer rep-resentatives to the school district’s audit committee”, Konduris continued.

This committee includes two school board members and a professional fi nan-cial expert, according to Bob Foster, D38 Director of Personnel Services.

In a letter to Lewis-Palmer School Dis-trict 38 Superintendent John Borman and D38 School Board Director Mark Pfoff, David Cloud volunteered his time and ex-

pertise to serve on the audit committee.Cloud and his wife, Barbara, have been

members of the Tri-Lakes community for the past 22 years. They are proud parents of two Lewis-Palmer HS graduates.

Cloud further recommended that the audit committee membership include: “local community members that are not on the school board” and “local business leaders/owners with specifi c subject-matter expertise (i.e., fi nance/budgeting). In addition, Cloud asked the D38 Leader-ship Team to issue a public invitation for volunteers to D38’s audit committee.

“We’re attracting many new members in our organization and will launch more initiatives to ensure residents, business-es, taxpayers, and especially our students are fairly represented in D-38 governance and fi scal policy decisions,” said Kondu-ris. She urges Tri-Lakes voters to get more information at the DIRECTION 38! web-site, www.lpd38.wordpress.com.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Dear Editor: I feel it is necessary to reply to the two

letters in the Tribune, 13 Nov., concerning the MLO District Vote Defeat.

First, to Russ Broshous, if you did not see this coming — please look twice before pulling into traffi c. The list of un-related reasons you outline had very little to do with the defeat of the MLO. It was going down for defeat from the start for a number of reasons, such as:

• Distrust of the School Board

• Building an unneeded high school 4 miles from the existing high school

• Giving an employee, 6 months on the job, a $150,000.00 going away gift

• Over-reach of the MLO, so it would go on forever

• Heavy handed School Board, that answers to the Union rather than the citizens

• The way the campaign was run• With 100’s of ‘It’s about Time’ signs

every few feet, it came across as ‘big

brother’ and ‘outside infl uence’ in action• Failure to give the opposing side a

venue to speak and be heardAs to Mr Brandon Adams, it is not self-

ish or greedy to defeat a bad tax increase (please see some of the reasons above). In fact it is the responsibility of the citizens of this district to study measures that come up for vote and make decisions on the best use of our tax funds. On this issue — it did not happen. When you graduate and get a job — you will

understand the pressures of competing interest, with your money — and how it is important to make the right decisions. Of course you free to send donations at any time to the school district, please let us know how that goes.

I would ask the school board to please, please, do not bring another vote up next year in 2014. You are wasting our time and wasting our money that would be better spent for our students.

Volleyball team honored at assemblyLewis-Palmer went 27-2 this season and won Class 4A state titleBy Danny [email protected]

The Lewis-Palmer volleyball team was honored during a school assembly on Nov. 13 - four days after it won the Class 4A state championship.

Rangers’ athletic director Nick Bak-er introduced the team to the 1,000-plus students, faculty and parents who crammed the gymnasium.

A short video presentation was fol-lowed by recognition of each team member by long-time Lewis-Palmer coach Susan Odenbaugh. “Odie” talked about the contributions of each girl on the team.

Lewis-Palmer compiled a 27-2 record this season, capped by a straight-set vic-tory over Air Academy Nov. 9 at the Den-ver Coliseum.

There was plenty of hardware on display. Featured at center stage were the state championship gold volleyball trophy, as well as the Pikes Peak Ath-letic Conference trophy and a decorated plaque acknowledging that Lewis-Palm-er qualified for the state tournament.

Two Rangers also signed their college letters of intent; Haley McCurley (Uni-

versity of Sioux Falls) and Carson Nico-demus (California Lutheran).

“It was just perfect in every aspect,” said Nicodemus, a three-year letterman. “I grew up in southern California, so it was my dream to go back. Every time I toured the campus I just felt so at home. It was amazing.”

Nicodemus, a right side hitter, was a co-captain this season and a key reason for the Rangers’ success. She committed to Cal Lutheran in late October.

“It’s been a dream come true,” said Nicodemus said of this season and sign-ing with Cal Lutheran. “I couldn’t ask for anything more.”

McCurley joined the team this sea-son after spending her first three years at Douglas County. She committed to Sioux Falls last spring.

“I went and visited and two days af-ter I got back I was offered a scholarship and I knew that’s where I wanted to go,” McCurley said.

McCurley added that she is very hap-py with her decision to transfer to Lewis-Palmer.

“The feeling is insane,” McCurley said. “People are always coming up to you and congratulating you for state. It’s just the best feeling in the world.”

‘Best feeling in the world’

what was found, but sources have indicat-ed it was the remains of his foot. Nothing else has been found.

Dylan had flown to the La Plata County Airport Nov. 18, 2012, for a court-ordered visit with his father, Mark Redwine, who lives in Vallecito.

Investigators confirmed Dylan arrived at the airport, went to McDonald’s and Wal-Mart in Durango with his dad, then arrived at his dad’s home on CR 500 north of the reservoir.

Dylan had lived with his mom and brother in Bayfield until the summer of 2012, when they moved to Monument, near Colorado Springs.

He texted his friends that evening, mak-ing arrangements to meet them early the next morning in Bayfield.

That evening, the texts stopped abrupt-ly.

No one heard from him or saw him again, except his father. Mark Redwine told investigators he got up early the next morn-ing and tried to wake up his son to take him to Bayfield, but Dylan wouldn’t get up. So he left for Durango to do errands. Investiga-tors confirmed he was in Durango for three to four hours.

He said when he came home, Dylan was gone. At first, he said wasn’t too concerned, figuring he had left with a friend. That af-ternoon, he texted his ex-wife, asking if she had heard from their son.

She called police, setting into motion a search that later involved the Bayfield Marshal’s Office, La Plata County Sher-iff’s Office, Colorado Bureau of Investiga-tion, the FBI, search personnel from area fire agencies, and hundreds of volunteers. This week, Hatfield said she believes her ex-husband killed her son.

“Yes, I always have from day one, when Dylan was missing,” she said. “Those who know me, who knew Mark, who knew my boys, knew that as well.”

Hatfield said it was disheartening at first

when she knew foul play was involved, and police said he could have run away. She said she knew he hadn’t done that.

“If Dylan would have ran off, Dylan would still be alive.”

She insisted from the beginning he would have called her if he wanted to leave his father.

She said her son’s flight to Du-rango originally had been scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 17, but was can-celed and rescheduled for the next day. She said her son hadn’t really wanted to make the visit and asked her, “Mutti, is that a sign?” using the German term for mom-my.

She wishes she hadn’t put him on the airplane, but at the time, didn’t feel she re-ally had a choice.

One year later, investigators are still try-ing to find the rest of Dylan Redwine’s re-mains, and what happened to him in his final hours.

She said she receives updates from the

investigators, but she cannot share any of that information.

“I can say there will be justice for Dylan,” she said. “I want the person who is respon-sible for Dylan’s death to know there will be justice for Dylan.”

She said while the search is pro-ceeding quietly, it’s still going on. “They will not give up until this is solved,” she said.

The past year has been a mixture of highs and lows. She and Mark both appeared on Dr. Phil, trading accusations in their son’s disappearance. She became engaged to her boyfriend, Mike Hall. She is now looking forward to the birth of her first grandchild, a boy, to Cory Redwine and his girlfriend.

She said it has been hard to keep going.“I don’t really have any choice,” she

said. “I have to live for my family, I have to live for Dylan. He can’t be here doing all the things he wants to be doing. I have to keep his name and spirit out there alive – in many respects I live for Dylan.”

He said the school needs to determine the traffic patterns of cars that would be en-tering and exiting through the gate before it is opened. Bailey said they will receive help from cadets at the U.S. Air Force Academy.

The cadets have chosen to help the school as part of their senior year cap-stone project.

Administrators and parents have had several meetings with Krager over their desire to have the lights installed. Krager said as far as a traffic signal being in-stalled at Northgate and Colorado 83, that would be up to the state.

District 38 takes a comprehensive course in first responders trainingBig Red was the site of the Nov. 12 training sessionBy Danny [email protected]

About 75 District 38 employees gathered for a first responders training course Nov. 12 at the administration building, also known as Big Red.

The event was part of an ongoing pro-gram the District is coordinating along with Monument Police Chief Jacob Shirk and Abila Security and Investigations, Inc.

“I’m firmly convinced every school, ev-ery congregation, anywhere where there’s an organized group of people, should have this basic training,” Shirk said. “It will as-sist me as a police chief out dealing with the stuff I deal with in the community when people become aware.

“We’re not talking about being paranoid. We’re not talking about being comatose, ei-ther. It’s bringing it up a level.”

Shirk was among those in attendance at the Nov. 12 training. That course - the third of many the District will host over the next year - was designed for central office staff, maintenance, grounds crew and the home school academy at Grace Best. Two security officials from Douglas County District RE1 were also in attendance.

Shirk is the driving force behind the training. He attended training at Fountain School District 8, where he met with Todd Evans, the Fountain chief of police.

Shirk and others presented the training to D-38 assistant superintendent Cheryl Wangeman over the summer and soon was given the approval to present the training District wide.

“This training deals with the front end, that first 90 seconds, the very first three minutes, of what schools will do before (the police) ever get there,” Shirk said.

Palmer Ridge was the first District 38

school to receive the training on Sept. 20. The administration staff was trained on Oct. 11.

Among those who spoke on Nov. 12 was District 38 school resource officer Dennis Coates.

“If we don’t learn from the past we’ll nev-er be able to protect our kids in the future,” said Coates who is the only armed security personnel in the District. “I think we need to take every precaution and we need to talk about proper procedure.”

The training course focused on the seri-ous issue of school shootings and what to do in the event that such a tragedy occurs.

“They’re teaching us to be more proac-tive in our response, rather than waiting for an administrator or even the police to tell us what to do,” said Laura Vertucci, the District’s safety and security specialist. “The nickname for the training is called `When in doubt, get out.’”

Abila Security and Investigations presi-dent Vern Abila is a Colorado Springs native. He started the company locally, but now has offices in Los Angeles, New York and Wash-ington D.C.

“This training that we’re doing today is actually for everything that may occur in a school,” Abila said. “We’d like this to be a state of mind. We want people to be aware of what’s going on around them in any area of their life. What to do and how to react in a situation. Not just if there’s a shooter around.

“You do what you’re trained to do. If you have zero training you do nothing. You’re more likely to get under a desk and hide. We want people to get in the frame of mind that you might have to lock down your class-room, but don’t stop there.”

Abila and his team of experts cover a va-riety of situations that could come up dur-ing a terrifying situation such as Newtown (Conn.), Columbine and Platte Valley.

“We’ve been to so many schools now we’re actually watched policies change,”

Abila said. “There are some schools that aren’t actually allowed to call the police first. They have to call the principal. Well, what happens if the principal is dead? What hap-pens if he’s tied up doing something else?

“We want to empower people to start making decisions. They know what’s nor-mal, or what’s right or wrong around their school. We want people to come out of their cocoon and take control of a situation.”

Bass Pro plans to reel them in

The 120,000-square foot store, now only days away from opening, is sure to be a ma-jor gathering point for a lot of folks in the Pikes Peak region.

“This is definitely one of our grand-est buildings from the outside to the in-side,” said store general manager Chris Koeninger. “We’re not skimping on any-thing.”

The grand opening is set for Nov. 21, be-ginning at 8 a.m. The store will actually be open for three hours on Nov. 20 for a spe-cial sneak peek.

“Vendors from all of our manufactur-ers will be on hand for the grand opening,” Koeninger said. “We’ll have hot dogs and drinks for donations.

“We’ll even have a live bull from (the Professional Bull Riders Association).”

The Colorado Springs Bass Pro Shops is the centerpiece in the 200-acre Copper Ridge development near North Gate Bou-levard and Interstate 25. The future exten-sion of Powers Boulevard is to the south, Meadowgrass Drive and a future extension of Spectrum Loop is to the east and the ex-isting Western Museum of Mining and In-dustry sits to the west. Off in the distance is a perfect view of the Air Force Academy and Pikes Peak.

Koeninger has been on site since May. He was the general manager of the Tulsa, Okla., Bass Pro for eight years.

“I opened that store,” Koeninger said. “All of our Bass Pro Shops are pretty amaz-ing, but this one will have a lot of bonus features.”

Among the unique features is a river at

the front entrance where guests enter over a bridge to get into the store, as well as an inside water fall.

Bass Pro Shops’ unique exterior and interior motifs are visually appealing. The outdoors feel is brought indoors through massive log and rock work, large indoor aquariums and water features stocked with native fish species.

There will also be historic photos and exhibits that pay tribute to Colorado’s great outdoor heritage.

The paved parking lot has 800 spaces.Nationally, Bass Pro Shops will host

more than 112 million people visiting their 58 stores across America and Canada this year; the average customer stays two-and-a-half hours and drives an average distance of 50-plus miles, according to the store’s website.

Bass Pro Shops was recently named by Advertising Age magazine as one of the Top 10 Hottest Brands in America along with name brands such as Old Spice, M&M’s, iPad and Droid.

“We are very excited to bring Bass Pro Shops to Colorado Springs and be part of this major development,” said Johnny Morris, founder of Bass Pro Shops. “The ar-ea’s long history of great fishing and hunt-ing traditions along with this highly visible and accessible location make it the perfect place to allow us to better serve our many customers and all the outdoor enthusiasts that visit and live in this beautiful part of the country.”

Bass Pro will have expanded hours through the end of the year.

It was a mad scramble on Thursday morning, Nov. 14, to get everything done one week before the Bass Pro Shops of North Gate Road was scheduled to open. Photo by Rob Carrigan

Palmer Lake ‘Rockin’ the Rails’ disc golf course opens Sta� report

Palmer Lake’s very nine hole disc golf

course is now open.So what IS disc golf? Disc golf is much like traditional golf,

but instead of a ball and club, players use a fl ying disc, much like a Frisbee. Disc golf shares with traditional golf the object of completing each hole in the fewest number of “strokes”.

A golf disc is thrown from a tee area to-wards the target, an above ground basket. Disc golf has been growing in popular-ity since its inception in the 1970’s and is now played in about 80 countries with both Amateur and Pro World Championships held each year. It is also very affordable and easy to learn, and can be played by a wide range of ages.

The idea for Palmer Lake to have its own disc golf course came from Palmer Lake residents John and Christie Ramshur. The Ramshur’s daughter took up playing disc golf about 3 years ago, and loved it so much that she got her parents to begin playing.

They fi gured if they ever wanted to be able to see their daughter, they needed to learn to play. The Ramshurs recently pre-sented the idea of having a course to the

“Awake Palmer Lake” board. It was so well received that it was incorporated into the overall recreational plan for rejuvenating the area around the lake and the Santa Fe Trailhead. This ongoing restoration effort is spearheaded by the Palmer Lake Res-taurant Group and the Awake Palmer Lake committee.

A course design was developed with the help of Dr. Michael Schuette of the Pikes Peak Flying Disc Golf Club in Colorado Springs, and then when they offered to help fund the cost of the baskets by contribut-ing $1000 towards their purchase, the APL Committee decided to go forward with the installation of a nine hole course. PPFDGC also came to dig the holes! El Paso Coun-ty Parks Division was consulted and was helpful in fi ne tuning the course to avoid confl ict with users of the Santa Fe Trail.

There is a ribbon cutting scheduled for Sunday November 17, 2013 at 1:00 pm at tee #1. (Just south of the playground).

To fi nd out more about disc golf, you can go to the Professional Disc Golf Asso-ciation web site at www.PDGA.com

To fi nd out more about the Awake Palm-er Lake committee or how to help with the restoration of Palmer Lake’s namesake, visit our website at www.awakepalmerlake.org

Springs o� cer murdered before Thanksgiving By Rob Carrigan [email protected]

America was a little different then. Colo-rado Springs too.

On Nov. 26, 1953, Eleanor Roosevelt commented on the upcoming holiday.“HYDE PARK, Wednesday—Thanksgiving day is the most personal of all our holidays, I think, because it carries us back to our own past history and we are primarily cele-brating the survival of our fi rst ancestors in this country. There may be other countries which have their own Thanksgiving days but this is our day, the day when we re-view the things that we in the United States have to be thankful for.” Less than 10 years separated that time from her husband’s offi cial establishment the holiday on the fourth Thursday in November. Before then, Thanksgiving had moved around a bit.

That same day, actor John Wayne and his entourage touched down at the airport in El Paso, Texas, and the ‘Duke’ stopped on the tarmac to shake hands with a tod-dler on his way to the premier of “Hondo,” based on the book by Louis L’Amour. The show, of course, was in Three-D and War-nerPhonic Sound and Color.

The population of Colorado Springs, according to the 1950 Census, was 45,472, and that included the recently annexed town Roswell that was brought into the fold in June of that year.

Patrolman Richard Burchfi eld reported for duty on Nov. 26, 1953 and left the sta-tion in Colorado Springs at 7:40 that eve-ning. He had told his wife a few days before that he thought he knew who was involved in a series of stickups around town.

At 7:55 that night, the offi cer called to ask if any detectives were in, police re-ports said. When told they were, he stated he would be in shortly. This was taken to mean he had someone in custody or had some pertinent information for the detec-tives.

“Shortly after 8 p.m., Robert McVay of 540 East Boulder, spotted the police car on the west side of El Paso Street, near Bijou, and fi ve blocks from the police station; he saw a man on the outside of the car, stoop-ing down and looking in. He became sus-picious when he and his wife saw the man run up the street and enter a car, so McVay drove two blocks north, made a U-turn and went back. The man was still sitting in the car so McVay drove home, then decided to

make another trip and drove to the police car and again saw the man looking into the car; McVay stopped and asked ‘Do you need any help?’ to which the man replied ‘Hell no!’ Returning home, McVay tried to call police but the lines were busy, so he drove to the station and reported the in-cident. Detective Irion and Offi cer Garred went to the scene with him and found Burchfi eld slumped behind the steering wheel dead.,” according to an account by Carl F. Mathews on unsolved crimes in the Pikes Peak region. Mathews was the former Superintendent of the Bureau of Identifi -cation in Colorado Springs Police Depart-ment.

Burchfi eld had been shot eight times, behind the right ear, over the right eye, once in the right cheek, twice in the right shoulder and three times in the right arm. Nine shells, (along with the bullets identi-fi ed by the FBI lab as coming from a Colt Woodsman automatic .22 caliber pistol) were found in the car.

“The suspect was thought to have been the holdup artist who had committed sev-en stickups in the month previous and had been describes by most witness as young, apparently 17 to 25 years of age, about six feet tall, an of slender build. His latest holdup had been that of Alton Peterson, who had been stopped in the 1400 block of North Cascade at about 7:15 p.m. which led offi cers to believe the killer was the holdup man,” wrote Mathews.

A witness account by Mary Lowe, living at 233 North El Paso, which was diagonally across the street from the scene of the kill-ing, described hearing shots and an outcry. She told police she looked out her upstairs window and saw a man running up the street to a parked car, apparently a dark Ford Coupe, 1941 or 1942 model. He backed up, made a U-Turn and drove a short dis-tance north, stopped and ran back to the police cruiser where McVay had talked to him after his third trip around the area.“Police asked all parties who had Colt Woodman pistols to bring them to the station for checking and number IDs, but without results so far as any connection with the shells found in the car,” Mathews said.

Burchfi eld was 34 at the time of his mur-der and a father of three children. Rewards totaling nearly $1,700 were offered and pri-vate contributions and returns from movie houses (perhaps from the Three-D version

of “Hondo.”) made up a purse amounting to $3,650, which was given to the widow.

“It was theorized that the man was in the police car when Burchfi eld start-

ed to question him, drew the pistol and shot the offi cer as outlined. No real clues

O� cer Burch� eld’s murder has never been solved. Courtesy photo

Who killed Officer Richard Burchfield?The Palmer Lake Historical Society in-

vites the public on Nov. 21 at 7 p.m. to the Palmer Lake Town Hall, 28 Valley Crescent, as Dwight Haverkorn, retired Colorado Springs Police detective, returns with de-tails of a “cold case” involving the killing of Officer Richard Stanley Burchfield on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 26, 1953.

Burchfield was on duty that day when he made contact with a person that had been responsible for a string of personal robberies. Burchfield was shot nine times with a .22-caliber Colt semi-automatic pis-tol. To this day, the file has continued to be carried as an open homicide investigation.

Haverkorn has conducted extensive

research on unsolved crimes in Colorado Springs, some dating back over a century. In a previous presentation to the Historical Society, Haverkorn shared an interesting theory developed from his research about a string of axe murders committed in Colorado Springs in the early1900s. It has been 60 years since Burchfield was gunned

down.This event is free and

refreshments will be served after the presen-tation. Visit Palmer Lake Historic Society at www.palmerdividehistory.org for more information. Burchfield

have ever been found,” wrote Mathews.Officer Richard Burchfield’s murder,

five blocks from the police station in his own patrol car, has never been solved. In

Colorado Springs that year, for the police, for the family of Richard Burchfield, for witnesses Robert McVay, Mary Lowe and robbery victim Alton Peterson, and for others … it was as the former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt said, “the most personal of all of holidays.”

America, and Colorado Springs, too, is a little different now.

Tri-Lakes area high school students hit the lanesBowling league takes place at Brunswick Zone InterquestBy Danny [email protected]

It’s a high school sport that rarely gets media coverage and one that hardly ever sees its competitors break a sweat.

But for the kids at Palmer Ridge, Lewis-Palmer and Discovery Canyon who are part of the Colorado State High School Bowling Foundation, recognition is most important among teammates.

“I’ve always liked bowling and every-one gets along great,” said Calli Krueger, a junior at Palmer Ridge.

The students practice and play at Brunswick Zone XL Interquest and are part of the Southern Colorado Springs Conference.

Three years ago when Krueger joined the league as a freshman, the teams met at Pinz Bowling Center in Palmer Lake. But Pinz closed last year so the league moved to Brunswick.

“This is a nice bowling alley, but I still like Pinz better because I grew up there,” said Krueger, who is the captain of the combined Palmer Ridge/Lewis-Palmer squad.

Lewis-Palmer senior Austin Sampaio joined the league last year.

“They needed more people so I decid-ed to join,” Sampaio said. “Before I joined this league I just bowled for fun.”

Sampaio is learning the proper tech-niques of bowling.

“Like how to curve my ball better and proper form,” he said. “It’s good working with other people knowing that you al-ways have to do your best.”

Sampaio also grew up bowling at Pinz and prefers it over Brunswick.

“Pinz had real wood floors,” he said. “They have synthetic floors here. The ball reacts differently.”

Until last week, Jeffrey Seyler was coach and conference leader of the northern

teams. But he is moving to California and had to step back.

“You could play tennis, volleyball, bas-ketball and football, but when you get old-er those sports kind of leave you behind,” Seyler said. “These kids can participate in this sport the rest of their lives. It’s a great equalizer.”

George Brown is taking over for Seyler.“A lot of these kids have the ability to

get scholarships in college,” Brown said. “But even if they aren’t making that a goal, as long as they are participating it’s a good thing.”

Sebastian Blit is captain of the Dis-covery Canyon team. He has been bowl-ing competitively for five years in various leagues around the state. He carries a 200 average at King Pin Lanes.

“This is great to have this opportunity to bowl as one team and represent your school,” said Blit, who bowled a career-high game of 279 at King Pin in October.

As a captain, Blit is responsible for set-ting the lineup and coordinating team meetings.

Discovery Canyon freshman Michael Robinson didn’t hesitate to join the league.

“Jeff was my coach for about a year and he encouraged me to do this league and I love it,” Robinson said. “I love how you can just meet new people and see differ-ent types of bowling.”

In 2011, the northern schools won the conference. Lewis-Palmer was a solo team at the time and placed second overall at the state championships.

Pine Creek also has a team in the north-ern conference. Its top bowler is Zach Bradberry, who won the Colorado Springs Youth Masters earlier this year is currently averaging 217 as a senior.

Out of the 18 bowlers on the northern squads, 12 are bowling with the Founda-tion for the first time.

The cost is $45 and it covers league administration fees, sanctioning fee and each bowler will receive a team shirt as well.

The Lewis-Palmer/Palmer Ridge team

is comprised of Krueger, Sampaio, Kevin Rosenberger, Sean Rosenberger, Kayla McNeely and Kenneth Klotzsche. Discov-

ery Canyon includes Blit, Robinson, Shel-by Borton, Allen Abair, Austin Fogg and Mia Baronbe.

TCA advances to semifinals of state football playoffsTitans have a rematch with Coronado Saturday at Garry Berry StadiumBy Danny [email protected]

Some observers might use words like storybook, Cinderella and fabled to de-scribe The Classical Academy’s football season.

But if you ask the Titans players and coaching staff if they really believed they’d be one win away from playing for a state championship the answer would be a resounding “Yes.”

That scenario became a reality on Nov. 15 when TCA made the 322-mile trek across the state to Palisade and left town with a 24-21 victory over the No. 2 ranked team in all of Class 3A.

“We’re fundamentally sound over-achievers,” TCA coach David Bervig said with confidence. “We are here because we have kids who are committed to each other. They fight for each other.”

TCA’s theme is Passio Bellator. It is a Latin phrase that means “passionate war-rior” or “suffering warrior.”

The No. 7 seeded Titans (10-2) will face No. 6 Coronado (11-1) Saturday at Garry Berry Stadium. Coronado defeated No. 3 Roosevelt, 29-27, in its quarterfinals matchup.

The winner advances to the state championship the following week against the winner of No. 9 Silver Creek vs. No. 13 Delta. Delta defeated TCA in the first round of the 2012 state playoffs.

TCA and Coronado are familiar foes. They played each other Aug. 29 at TCA with Coronado coming up a 16-6 winner. It was TCA’s first game of the season and Coronado’s second.

TCA has won 10 of 11 games since, with its only loss coming against Discov-ery Canyon, 23-16, on Sept. 27. Discovery Canyon was the No. 1 seed in this year’s state playoffs, but lost in the first round.

“Having some losses are actually a good thing,” Bervig said. “You get to figure out what you need to work on. Coronado and Discovery Canyon got us to work on some things we needed to work on.”

TCA’s adventure to Palisade began ear-ly on the morning of Nov. 15. The Titans chartered Ramblin’ Express and made stops in Edwards and Parachute before arriving in Grand Junction about 3 p.m. They had a team dinner at 3:30 and got to the stadium at 5:15.

“We tried to keep things as normal as possible,” Bervig said.

TCA stayed the night at the Double Tree in Grand Junction and returned to Colorado Springs the next morning.

TCA has won seven consecutive games. Many of them have come in dra-matic fourth-quarter fashion, including the one over Palisade.

The Titans built a 17-7 halftime lead against Palisade (10-2), only to see the Bulldogs roar back with two fourth-quar-ter touchdowns to take a 21-17 advantage.

TCA started its next drive on its own 8-yard line and drove 92 yards in 15 plays for the winning score. Peter Troupe’s 2-yard touchdown run with under a minute remaining was the game winner. Troupe finished with 29 yards on eight carries.

Andrew Register led all Titans runners with 129 yards on 26 carries - both season highs. He has 810 yards rushing on the campaign.

The Titans’ other touchdowns came on runs by Nick DeRay and Janzen Ryals.

Ryals, a senior quarterback, completed 10 of 19 passes for 157 yards. Sophomore

Reese Plantenberg had a team-high five receptions for 71 yards.

Senior Kyle Jacobs booted a 24-yard field goal to account for TCA’s other points.

A big reason for TCA’s success this sea-son has been its ability to stay healthy. Only three players have had major inju-ries. Bryce Dalrymple, Kyle Peterson and Nik Mace all went down with season-end-ing ACL’s.

The Titans are scoring 30 points a game this season while allowing 15. Coro-nado is averaging 32 points and limiting the opposition to 11.

TCA and Coronado have met in each of the last four seasons. TCA won the three previous matchups in dominating fash-ion by scores of 42-7, 48-17 and 42-7.

Air Force and Colorado College have new trophy dedicated Former coach John Matche� s worked at both schools By Danny Summers [email protected]

The Pikes Peak trophy has been created in the honor of the late John Matchefts, the former head hockey coach for the Air Force Academy and Colorado College.

The new hardware will go to the winner of the annual hockey game between the two clubs.

“We have talked about developing an annual rivalry trophy for years,” said Scott Lowenberg, associate athletic director at CC. “Then, this past summer, both sides de-cided `Let’s do it!’

“This will be great for the players, the thousands of fans and the entire greater Colorado Springs community. This trophy will now serve as offi cial bragging rights.”

Matchefts, who passed away on Nov. 10 at the age of 82, compiled a record of 54-88-3 in fi ve seasons (1966-71) at the Colo-rado College helm before posting a ledger of 154-150-6 in 11 more (1974-85) with Air Force, where the Falcons went 24-5-1 in his fi rst year. He previously enjoyed an out-standing playing career at the University of Michigan under Vic Heyliger in the early 1950s, helping the Wolverines claim three national championships, and skated for

silver medal winning U.S. Olympic Team at the 1956 Winter Olympic Games in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy.

In honor of his contributions and ac-complishments, he was inducted into the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame in 1991. The Hall of Fame is located in Eveleth, Minnesota, his hometown.

In 1948, at the age of 16, Matchefts emerged as a high school star for the Evele-th Golden Bears. There, under fellow Hall of Fame enshrinee, coach Cliff Thompson, he quickly became a phenom. So good was the lightning quick winger that he was even invited to play for the 1948 U.S. Olympic team. While high school league rules pre-vented him from playing that year, he did later represent his country at the World Championships in 1955 and again in 1956 where he won a silver medal on the U.S. Olympic team.

Matchefts was a prep star at Eveleth. Teaming up with another Hall of Famer, John Mayasich, he not only led the Golden Bears to three straight undefeated state hockey championships from 1947-49, he also excelled at football and baseball as well.

In fact, he was the fi rst player named to the all-state high school hockey team three times.

Air Force and CC met for the 70th time on Nov. 19. The rivalry that began on Dec. 5, 1969. The Tigers hold an overall advantage of 59-8-2 in the previous 69 meetings. Air Force and Colorado College will play for the Pikes Peak Trophy the next time they meet in hockey. Courtesy photo

The Classical Academy joining 4A Metro League TCA and Canon City will make the switch in 2014 By Danny Summers [email protected]

As previously reported in the Tribune, the Class 4A Metro League will undergo a transformation in 2014.

The Classical Academy and Canon City are joining the league, while Coronado is leaving to join the 5A Metro League.

That means the league will be back to eight teams again. It dropped to seven this fall with the closure of Wasson.

This new alignment affects every sport except football, ice hockey, fi eld hockey and lacrosse.

The Classifi cation and League Orga-nization Committee approved both mea-sures on Nov. 12 as part of its biennial meeting to fi nalize the alignment for the

upcoming two-year cycle, which starts in fall 2014.

The Colorado High School Activities As-sociation is expected to approve the mea-sure at its legislative council meeting in January.

TCA and Canon City will join existing members Woodland Park, Harrison, Mesa Ridge, Mitchell, Sierra and Widefi eld for all sports except football. Football leagues for the next cycle will be determined at that sport’s committee meeting next month.

TCA and Canon City bring a history of competing at a high level. TCA is a tradi-tional state power in boys and girls soc-cer, cross country and track and fi eld. The school is also very competitive in wres-tling, football, volleyball and baseball.

Canon City won state championships in fi ve different sports from 1990-2000.CHSAA SAYS YES TO MITCHELL, NO TO PALMER

Mitchell will remain in 3A for football in

2014 after CHSAA approved its request to play down. Meanwhile, Palmer’s request to move down to 4A from 5A was denied.

Palmer is 11-30 over the last four sea-sons, including the 2010 campaign when it went 7-4 and made the playoffs.NO CHANGE FOR 4A PPAC

The 4A Pikes Peak Athletic Conference remains unchanged for the next two-year cycle. The conference includes Lewis-Palmer, Discovery Canyon, Cheyenne Mountain, Palmer Ridge, Vista Ridge, Sand Creek, Air Academy and Falcon.SCOTT AND GORDON STARTING FOR CU

You may have already noticed, but for-mer prep basketball rivals Josh Scott and Wesley Gordon are starting for the Univer-sity of Colorado.

Scott, a 6-foot-10 forward, is a true sophomore and is in his second year as a starter for coach Tad Boyle’s Buffaloes.

Gordon, 6-9, redshirted last season and

is now a starting forward.While in high school, Scott (Lewis-

Palmer) and Gordon (Sierra) went at it sev-eral times.

Scott won the last meeting when his rangers defeated Sierra in the 2012 Class 4A state championship game at CU’s Coors Events Center.THUNDER WRESTLERS INK DEALS

Discovery Canyon wrestlers Tyler Oberg and David Traynor signed college scholar-ships on Nov. 13 during ceremonies at the school.

Oberg signed with Ivy League Colum-bia, the same school that Lou Gehrig at-tended for short while in the 1920s.

Oberg was the 4A state runner-up at 145 pounds as a junior.

Traynor signed with Division II Western State. Traynor also reached the fi nals of his weight class, but fi nished second.

Former Thunder star Garrett Adams is wrestling for Western State.
