Two Colorado Springs natives — Kristina Mascarenas and Jonathan Aziz — were crowned queen and king of the mountain after they won the Pikes Peak Marathon on Sunday, Sept.

Mascarenas18.won the race in 2017 and came back from ankle injuries. This was Aziz’s first Pikes Peak Marathon, and he had to persevere after falling and injuring himself on the way back down.

One day earlier, Rémi Bonnet and Nienke Frederiek Brinkman, both of Switzerland, won the Ascent.

A total of 1,481 people entered the Ascent and 684 entered the Marathon.

Mascarenas breaks the tape as the fastest female Marathoner on Sunday. She finished in 4 hours, 37 minutes and 31 seconds.

Soda Springs Park master plan delayed

The Soda Springs Park final master plan fell under criticism from the Manitou Springs City Council during the Sept. 20 meeting in CityCouncilHall.

voted 6-0 to disapprove the plan until revisions are made (Councilor Judith Chandler was excused from the meeting). Council questioned the absence of some features and use of certain building materials.

Skyler Beck, Parks and Recreation Department director, and Mia Requesens, landscape designer with Denver architectural firm Hord Coplan Macht, shared slides illustrating the master plan update.

SSP offers small play structures, picnic tables and restrooms in downtown Manitou Springs. The master plan focuses on activating the under-utilized west end of the park with play features and climbing structures for pre-teens and adolescents. Also, it offers an expanded plaza designed with flexible seating and gathering spaces for the Bud Ford Pavilion.

Results released from independent survey of former D14 staffers

By Greta Anderson

Debate continues in Manitou Springs School District 14 over whether a “dramatic” jump in staff turnover is due to administrative leadership failures or just a sign of the post-pandemic times.

D14 parents, who formed the group Stand Up for Manitou earlier this year, are questioning whether what’s been called the “jewel of small schools in the area” no longer fits that description.

More than 50 staffers, nearly half of them teachers, have left the district over each of the past two years, according to attrition data

presented to the D14 school board in June and staff numbers that D14 reported to the Colorado Department of Education.

The departures — which include retirements and resignations — caused D14’s attrition rate to more than double from 8.77 percent during the

2019-2020 school year to 24.31 percent during 2020-2021, the data show.

SUFM, which includes about 60 D14 families and is led by MSHS parent Brenda Holmes-Stan ciu, decided to investigate reasons through an independent survey of former staff members; Holmes-Stanciu said D14’s school board and Superintendent Dr. Elizabeth Domangue were unwilling to pursue it themselves.

“We have a crusher fines (small particles of crushed rock) walkway on the western portion already and are continuing that walkway through the park over to the east restrooms,” Requesens said.Improving playground accessibility by providing a new ramp and removing a segment of retaining wall to add a concrete walkway connecting to one of the picnic/gaming tables was discussed. Improved equipment will be added to the rest of the playground, Requesens said.

“We’ll improve landscaping along the north and south edges of the park, and include some shade trees by the playground to provide additional shade as the trees mature. We also have a pedestrian walkway that will be going through the space south of the playground and west of the pavilion,” Requesens said.

Also, she recommended using durable artificial turf between the crusher fines open space and pavilion. A concrete plaza at the western side of the pavilion would get stamped concrete, and artwork illustrating the SSP story would be displayed inside the Addingpavilion.bikeand scooter racks to three locations were recommended, as was paving an area on the east side for cars to park during public events.However,

Councilor Julie Wolfe objected to adding more concrete and parking spaces.

“We have more than enough concrete in the park. We have plenty of opportunities to find parking and reserve and block off for event planners, so they don’t need to park the way they do now,” Wolfe said.

Councilor Nancy Fortuin added, “I agree, SSP is too valuable a park space to include more parking in it.”

Also, Wolfe addressed pet waste cleanup from the artificial turf, emphasizing the efforts of Public Works personnel. According to Requesens, many parks use artificial turf because it comes with Envirofill, a coated sand designed to resist bacteria.

Wolfe asked how the turf would be washed down.“Maybe you need to include a faucet to hook up to water. I anticipate a headache begging for that to be properly maintained,” Wolfe said.

Mayor John Graham said he too, is put off by so much concrete, suggesting gravel as a possible alternative.“Ilikethe idea of going to artificial turf … we’ve got a drought and artificial turf is something we have to consider,” Graham said.

Beck agreed to continue revising the plan.

Also, council voted 6-0 to approve a language modification to the Manitou Springs Municipal Code to establish a tree committee, standards for tree care on city property and protection of public and private heritage trees.

During the Sept. 6 meeting, Wolfe had expressed concern about harmful chemicals that weren’t clearly defined. Beck said the chemicals were for use only on trees located on city grounds.

According to Wolfe, the document read that harmful chemicals are prohibited for use on trees and/or city

Allison Schuch, executive director of the Fountain Creek Watershed District, said creeks and waterways are the lifeblood of the community.

“In our nine years of cleanups, we have removed over 130 tons of trash and brought the watersheds to the forefront of peoples’ minds, to understand the value of these waterways,” Schuch said.Another proclamation recognized the ninth annual Arts Month in the Pikes Peak region, slated for October. Arts Month supports arts and culture throughout El Paso and Teller counties by showcasing local talent and creating new avenues for arts engagement and cultural enrichment.

Beck changed the wording to clarify the definition. Council voted unanimously to approve the modifications to replace the words “city grounds” with “public property” and that the last sentence will end after the word “trees.”

Planning Department staffers unveil proposed Zoning Code update

By Rhonda Van Pelt

An open house focusing on the city’s Zoning Code update drew 19 people to the Manitou Art Center on Thursday, Sept. 15. There, community members could stop at “stations” where Planning Department staff and code update committee members could answer questions and respond to feedback.Thestations included information

about:•The code’s new organizational structure;•Standards for commercial design, mobility and landscaping;

• Application and enforcement procedures;•Land usage, which includes short-term rentals, food trucks and micro-agriculture; and

• Sustainability site improvements.Onetopicthat’s likely to be of great interest to Manitou residents and property owners: the short-term rental permit process. The proposed code

specifies that a permit must be acquired and it will be issued only to the property owner, who must occupy the property.Thepermit must meet all requirements for a conditional-use permit. Annual renewal is required and the permit expires when the property is sold or otherwise transferred.Ifallgoes according to plan, the code will be organized into seven chapters, described as “move user-friendly,” pertaining to general provisions, zone districts, develop ment standards, use regulations, subdivision regulations, application

procedures and definitions.

The code’s application procedures section will include a table that shows what process each application follows. Planning staff has reorganized the procedures from titles 16 and 18 into a single chapter and added purpose statements and approval criteria.

The open house displays also offered lists of what’s new and what’s not changing. The latter includes guidelines for historic preservation, nuisance- and animal-related regulations, and low-density residential development standards that include setbacks, building height, lot coverage and minimum lot size/

frontage requirements.

The proposed code’s new features include graphics (such as tables of information), hyperlinked references and updated standards that will allow more flexibility for repairs and renovations for “nonconforming uses.”Another topic likely to draw attention: landscape standards. The proposed code would decree that all landscaping be designed to support water conservation. Plants must be native and regional adapted species that are identified in the city’s Official Plant List.

It also includes guidelines for buffering between buildings and specific use types, such as commercial versus multi-household development.

PLEASE NOTE: With Election Day approaching on Tuesday, Nov. 8, the Bulletin will limit letters and guest editorials from candidates to one of either in any four-week period.

D14 parents should demand answers from BOE

To the editor:

I am writing in support of the Stand Up for Manitou parent group that cared enough to do a truly anonymous survey and ask former D14 staffers why they left. I have spoken to many former staff members and many stated the reason they left was due to district leadership.

I am a parent of students in D14 schools. I do fear harassment and retaliation from the current district administration, so I will remain anonymous to protect my children.

We have all heard the insinuations that the former administration didn’t report, as the law requires, the allegations of sexual assault.

The Manitou Springs Police Department should be able to easily answer this question: “Did the former D14 administration report the sexual assault cases to the MSPD?”

No details would be revealed by replying to that question. A simple yes or no would end all the speculations that are hanging over our community and, most importantly, our students.

My children and many of their Choice friends are affected by their favorite teachers and administrators leaving. Sadly, those Choice parents are too afraid to write a letter or speak out due to the fear of their child not being accepted as a Choice student for the next school year.

Let’s allow those of us who have children currently in the district to ask the questions and demand answers from our elected board of education members, “What is happening in our beloved district? Why do we have a culture of fear for our staff and even for some parents? What does the BOE plan to do about the information they received from the SUFM parent group?”

We want D14 to be the best small-town school district it can be and it’s going to take all of us together to make that happen.

Editor’s note: The Bulletin ensures anonymity for letter writers who fear retaliation, but we have to know who you are. That information goes no further than the editor.

Coloradans deserve action from their elected officials

To the editor:

On June 15, 2021, Gov. Jared Polis signed Senate Bill 21-258, concerning wildfire risk mitigation. This act provides for funds to be allocated for building an administrative structure to directly fund local and state wildfire mitigation programs, and address the risks involved in eachVerycommunity.often,acts such as SB 21-258 talk a great game and make the citizens feel safer, but never actually provide action to the intended purpose. Much is focused on providing funds and building infrastructure that justifies

those funds, but the action that makes the act a good idea is lacking.

As your representative, I understand the importance of ensuring acts such as SB 21-258, focused on Colorado wildfire mitigation, deliver the action advertised. I will not allow it to grow stagnant at the creation of funds, committees, staffing, program plans and promises.

All of those factors are necessary to deliver action, but the primary concern of the citizens is that real-world results are seen and felt in their communities. I am in touch with the citizens of Colorado, and I deeply respect their desire for great ideas and government action to provide safety to the communities they live in.

I will seek to ensure there is productive action and results delivered to the citizens of Colorado, from SB 21-258.

Public feedback needed regarding city code update

To the editor:

The Pikes Peak Bulletin has been great for Manitou Springs and it will be good to see how a nonprofit organization interacts in a transition. News quality is vital to a small town of residents who do not always attend City Council meetings.

Thanks to all those who have kept up the reporting and the excellent community content. RIP, Jack Elder.

The mayor’s recent pot tax-drought warning was a loud call and former Councilor Steve Bremner’s comments summarized the same. If the 50-year Cog rebate appropriation is to be analyzed in terms of benefits, more can be learned.

Recently, I’ve followed the Land Use & Development Code revision at City Hall. New regulations seem poised to govern private property to an extent not “governed” before without more consideration.

The city code update, rewriting the former Manitou Springs Consolidated Code and Land Use Ordinance, will likely affect most Manitou properties.

If you own property in Manitou Springs, you should attend the public comment session at City Hall on Thursday, Sept. 22. If you rent anything in Manitou, now might be your time to ask “WTF?” Higher costs and rents will result, with more reaching regulation on property owners.Ifyou attend City Hall on Thursday, you’ll hear about how these new state-sponsored local laws actually arrived on your neighborhood doorstep. They say to improve your health, safety, welfare and property is theBut,need.from experience, I would like to understand the legal-ese in a report from an attorney hired to detail these regulatory changes and understand why they’re needed.

Slam-dunk “public comment” has irritated Manitou people before. Apparently, December is the timeframe to look for what City Council will consider imposing over all land and property in Manitou Springs. It’s important to get reporting about what’s going on … and it could get interesting.

As of July 31, Manitou has had $92,393,280 in taxable sales this year, compared with $91,552,850 in Jan. 1-July 31, 2021.

The collections include “quarterly reporting” and “annual reporting” vendors and payment of previous delinquencies, causing some distortion of monthly sales. some decreases

Domangue, however, said she contacted the third-party firm that the group suggested conduct a survey, but did not hear back.

The results of that survey, which included 53 staff members who left during the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 school years, excluding bus drivers and kitchen staff, were shared last week. They show that respondents primarily left D14 over issues with leadership and culture — and multiple respondents specifically mentioned Domangue, who started as superintendent in July 2019.

The attrition and staff perspectives are troubling to parents in SUFM, as they worry the trusting and tight-knit culture that has defined their small school district for years is being lost, Holmes-Stanciu said.

“That’s one of the reasons that people have been so upset, is because many of them saw what was happening,” she said. “They knew what they had, they knew it wasn’t perfect. But they saw it slipping through the cracks.”

Pandemic-related exit?

Domangue has maintained that what’s happening in D14 is “not unique” among school districts.The COVID pandemic caused upheaval for staffers and many decided to move on for personal reasons, or they could not afford to live in the Manitou-Colorado Springs area, which lacks affordable housing for anyone on an educator’s salary, she said.

But SUFM said this is not so, according to survey results from Newmeasures, the Colora do-based firm the group hired to formulate and analyze the survey. The firm produces employee surveys for various organizations, including some school boards, Newmeasures President Lee Stroud said.Domangue

questioned how accurately the survey represents the sentiments of former staff, since it captured responses from only about half of the people who left in those two years.

She said that the survey results were not “unusual or surprising” compared to what D14 has found in its own exit surveys, which it sends to staff when they leave. But she acknowledged that the 2019 change in leadership, her emphasis on “instructional leadership” and decisions during the pandemic could have produced a difficult environment for some.

“I think that sometimes through the pandemic … there were lose/lose decisions — remote or hybrid, wearing a mask, not wearing a mask,” Domangue“Oftentimes,said. when you made those decisions, you knew that one decision was going to be what one person wanted to hear, and another person did not want to hear. Unfortunately, that was the responsibility all of us in the superintendency had to carry.“Ifully understand how a lot of those decisions might have been hard to receive,” she added. “It was a difficult Domanguetime.”alsosaid she could see how the district’s more hands-on, instructional leadership style — for which she said the D14 board hired her

— could cause “a little bit of stress” among teachers.

“Our principals and our staff are in classrooms more, and I see that as positive,” she said. “I do think that was a shift for Manitou.”

SUFM said the former staffers who responded to the survey paint a more worrisome picture.

Only 15 percent of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that they “had a trusting relation ship with district leadership” and 64 percent disagreed or strongly disagreed that D14 “inspired confidence in the future of the district.”

Twenty-one respondents selected “district leadership” as one of their top three reasons for leaving D14, and 14 selected “district culture,” over other options like “seeking improved work-life balance” (nine selections) and “higher compensa tion” (eight), according to an executive summary.

Other options related to the pandemic and economy, such as “burnout as a result of COVID restrictions” and “cost of living,” did not make it into the top 10 reasons.

would happen and then figuring out how we were going to make that happen,” they added. “I viewed it as far too onerous [on] teachers.”

But at least one current teacher, Cory Urban, who has taught sixth grade math at Manitou Springs Middle School for seven years, said she doesn’t trust the survey results and feels SUFM has an agenda.Ofthe colleagues Urban knows left her school, “none of them left because of our leadership, district or school,” she said. That’s “one reason that I don’t necessarily trust this survey.”

“There was a lot of animosity at the end of our last school year, and a lot of division brought on by this particular group,” she said. “It kind of goes both ways — there’s a lack of trust from this group in the administration, and there’s a lack of trust from a large group of teachers in this organization.

“I happen to be of the opinion that we have some of the absolute hardest-working leadership in our state, really, and that high standards for our principals and high standards for our teachers is not a badThething.”former building leader, however, doesn’t believe that Domangue’s assessment of the turnover — that it was primarily related to family issues and pandemic impacts — is accurate.

“Now seeing that these parents have collected data that is saying, yes, people are leaving because of family, pay, COVID, leaving the profession — that is accurate, but it’s not in the top three reasons why people are leaving,” the building leader said. “I think that is a telling narrative.

“The data clearly support that there’s a clear lack of trust in district leadership and a lack of confidence in the future of the district,” said Stroud, of Newmeasures. “People didn’t feel that there was open, transparent communication and questioned whether the district was really doing right by “Whenemployees.welook at the comments, to really provide context into the quantitative data, we really see that it’s this feeling of unilateral decision-mak ing, and again, people are not feeling comfortable speaking up,” she added.

Staffers appear split

One former building leader who participated in the survey said they left the district because of Domangue’s leadership.

The leader, who requested anonymity due to fear of losing future job prospects, said they started to see “red flags” that became more apparent during the pandemic, when the onus was put on teachers to figure out how to push through the health

“Thesecrisis.are individuals who are excellent teachers, but [they were] being asked to solve problems that have never existed in a public school,” the building leader said. “What I saw was the stress and anxiety that was inducing in them — asking a sophomore world history teacher to figure out how we’re going to physically place students, balance remote and asynchronous instruction, things like that.

“That became more problematic when it was evident that we weren’t actually building or making any of these decisions; we were being told what

“Do I think the district is being dishonest? I’m reserving judgment on that,” they said. “However, by not formally collecting that data in that way, are they missing a major improvement strategy?

Absolutely.”SUFMwould like to see data collection continue among D14’s current staff, to determine whether the issues brought up in the Newmea sures survey are prevailing. Domangue said the district is preparing to analyze the attrition issue in multiple ways.

D14’s District Accountability Committee will review retention and recruitment efforts, and the district is looking into procuring K12 Insight, an education-focused research and engagement firm, for culture, climate and exit surveys, Domangue said.

The goal is to “continue to see what we’re doing well, what we can do better and celebrate the great things in our school district,” she said. “And that’s the same for understanding why someone might decide to leave either Manitou or the profession. All of that’s important.”

The D14 board also received the survey; Holmes-Stanciu said it was presented to Board President Natalie Johnson and Vice President Jack Sharon on Sept. 12.

Johnson emailed that “We acknowledge the information,” noting that some of the survey respondents’ view of the district is from two yearsBoardago. directors “recognize that the school district has been working through attrition (as I am sure all school districts are) and look forward to outcomes from the District Accountability Committee regarding retention and recruitment,” Johnson wrote.

Anna Conrad, interim principal, made that announcement to MSHS about Fugate’s achievement.

“I am beyond words proud of Elanor,” Conrad said. “I wish her the best of luck for the rest of this process.”Fugate invited a few teachers, including Mike Talbott, Benjamin Mack and Pierce Gillard, she thought had impacted her academic career the most to watch her receive this award.

Volleyball squad gets benefit of learning from Lamar early

By Daniel Mohrmann

Facing its biggest test of the season, the Manitou Springs girls volleyball came away with a 25-16, 25-18, 25-21 loss to Lamar on Sept. 20, but it was far from a discouraging match.The Thunder is ranked No. 2 in the current CHSAANow.com volleyball rankings and although the Mustangs (6-6 overall, 2-2 Tri-Peaks) were unable to take a set, they played a very competitive match.

“I thought Lutheran was a good test, but this shows us what we need to work on,” coach Crissy Leonhardt said. “I’m happy that we got to play them earlier in the season.”

An early match against Lamar can provide a big boost for the team later in the year. As they look to trend upward, facing Lamar early in the league schedule could come as a blessing in disguise.“We really saw what we can do with adjusting,” Ayla Flett said. “We noticed them swinging in consistent areas and we were able to adjust to that. Our energy and teamwork stayed up the whole time, which is important because we can’t get down on ourselves.”

The Mustangs battled through the three sets, holding leads at certain points, but just fell victim to making unforced errors.

A missed pass here and an off set there slowed down Manitou’s momentum and allowed the Thunder to leave town with a win. But those are all things that are correctible with two months left in the season.

“Practicing consistency is really important,” Flett said. “If we get that consistency then we’re getting a good pass, a good set and a good swing, and that can always lead to a win.”

The week wasn’t a total loss for Manitou; the Mustangs defeated Banning Lewis 3-0 on Sept. 13. Grace Allen led all hitters with nine kills, while Teryn Thime and Flett each added five. Thime also had five aces and Lily Glass ran the offense effectively with 11 assists.The Mustangs have a heavy dose of league matches for the next month before getting back into tournament play to close out the regular season.

The Mustangs hit the road Thursday, Sept. 22, to take on Ellicott before hosting The Classical Academy in an important non-league match on Monday, Sept. 26.

Soccer team responding well to challenging losses

By Daniel Mohrmann

Perhaps the biggest test for the Manitou Springs boys soccer team was going to be how it responded to its first losses of the season. Vanguard and Thomas McLaren, two talented teams, beat the Mustangs, and coach Ben Mack was eager to see how the players reacted.

The result in the ensuing game was a 1-1 tie against Bayfield, which wasn’t the desired outcome. But it certainly was encouraging, considering how talented the Wolverines are.

“We kept it clean, under control and focused,” Mack said. “For every single minute of the second half, we thought we were going to win. And those are rough.”

The toughest part is that the offense has slowed down a bit. The Mustangs (4-3-1 overall) hadn’t been held scoreless all season until the 3-0 loss to Thomas McLaren on Sept. 13.

To make matters worse, Deric French hadn’t

given up a goal in the first four games of the year, but has let seven get by him in the past three games.

The good news for the Mustangs is that they have a few games coming up that should get them back on track. Colorado Springs Christian School has an uncharacteristic 0-6 record, but will likely give the Mustangs a good challenge considering the rivalry between the two teams.

“Pretty much from here on out, we’re going to be playing teams that are really similar to Bayfield, Vanguard and Gunnison,” Mack said.

“Our league is very similar to that and those games will all be close. It’s going to be that belief in each other that … tips us over into that win column. Hopefully, we can win them all or get close to that.”

The Mustangs take on Colorado Springs Christian School at home on Thursday, Sept. 22, then host Ellicott one week later.

Mustangs showing signs of progress on football field

By Daniel Mohrmann

There are a lot of ways to measure the progression of a football team. A good measurement of the Manitou Springs football team’s progression was the 46-12 win over Rocky Ford on Sept. 16.

To put it bluntly, the Mustangs (2-1 overall) were supposed to go to Rocky Ford and get a big win. Doing just that was an encouraging development, considering the Mustangs have had two big first-half leads slip out of their hands already this season.“We always want to play our style of football, no matter who our opponent is,” coach Stu Jeck said. “That’s what we did. We went out and played our brand of football and we played disciplined football.”

“It was crucial because it sets us up for these next two big games,” Scherr said. “We had to get everything right and it gave us a chance to see when everyone does their job collectively, we can smoke some teams.”

The Mustangs head to Prospect Ridge Academy on Saturday, Sept. 24, with a chance to win their third straight game. The Mustangs haven’t won three games in a fall season since 2018 and haven’t won three in a row in the fall since 2016.

We had to get everythingright.

— Evan Scherr

In all, the Mustangs put up 463 yards of offense and converted 71 percent of their third-down attempts. They held the Meloneers to 155 yards and allowed them to convert just one of their six third-down tries.

Nate Gentzel threw for four touchdowns, with three going to Evan Scherr and one to Tyler Maloney. Maloney added two rushing scores and Logan Moore also scored a rushing touchdown. It was, by far, the most complete performance of the season for Manitou.

Looking at the team’s progression over the past three games, getting this done and seizing a good amount of momentum heading into league play could play a crucial role in the program taking a major step forward this season.

“Our execution was better, but not where it needs to be,” Jeck said.

“We’re getting better and playing more disciplined football. I also thought our energy was better for all four quarters. We seem to be coming in out in the second half with a little more fire and a little more intentional effort toward starting the half the way we start the first Afterhalf.”completing this three-game road trip, the Mustangs host Woodland Park for Homecoming on Friday, Sept. 30.

Long gap between meets designed to ensure cross-country success

By Daniel Mohrmann

This cross-country season has looked different for the Manitou Springs runners. Although fall sports have been underway for the better part of two months, the Mustangs have competed only once.They ran at the Cheyenne Mountain Stampede on Sept. 2 and are finally back in action this week, when they head to Emma Coburn’s Elk Run, hosted by Crested Butte.

The lack of competition isn’t due to a lack of available races. Rather, coach Andy Sherwood has intentionally implemented that.

“It’s pretty normal for top programs,” Sherwood said. “We utilize this time to train, to get healthy from illnesses and to align together as a team so we can take on that mentality that when we have those races, have those opportunities, we take them seriously and we run hard.”

The overall hope, as for all cross-country teams, is that the competitors are running at their peak speeds come October for regionals and state.

It’s a unique sell to the kids, that cross country is going to be 90 percent training and practice and

just 10 percent competition through the course of the year. But this is a team that understands the end game and has bought into the plan.

“You’re spending more time thinking about yourself and how you can improve, rather than the results of a race,” Cody Wyman said. “We’re going to have a three-week gap between Cheyenne Mountain and Crested Butte, so I think a lot us are going to get some (personal records).”

A lot of Class 4A teams will be at the meet, but since it is hosted by a 2A school, only four runners will score for each team. Sherwood hopes the result is a Top 2 or 3 finish for the boys on the strength of Cody Kelley and Wyman’s finishes at Cheyenne Mountain.

He’s also excited to see what’s in store for the girls team.

“It’ll be their first race as a full team,” Sherwood said. “We hope to finish in the top 10.”

Ellen Lowe, Gaia Drotar and Anya Nelsestuen were the only Manitou runners to compete at Cheyenne Mountain, so they’ll provide the experience needed to take that top-10 finish while the training plan looks to give them the physical boost to get it done.

Golf team takes on CommonGround for regionals tournament

Treasurer wants to return unclaimed property to local entities

But schools aren’t the only entities that have funds sitting in the state treasury.

To search, just type “Manitou” in the name field. The amounts range from 80 cents to more than $250.

Last fiscal year, the Great Colorado Payback returned almost $50 million to nearly 55,000 claimants through the Unclaimed Property Division. To simplify the claims process, a pilot program that proactively returns funds was started, returning $4.1 million to 13,700 rightful owners without requiring additional paperwork for identification purposes.

Money or property turned over to the State Treasury for safekeeping is held for the owner or heir of the account and there are no time limits for filing a Theclaim.Colorado State Treasurer maintains a list of more than 1.7 million names of individuals, as well as schools, for whom property is available, including more than $960 million total.

Happy Cats Haven – Pet of the Week

Hi, I’m Sage, a sweet little pantherette with sleek black fur and bright yellow eyes. I was brought to Happy Cats when my humans were no longer able to care for me. I was very much loved in my previous home and I’m looking for a furever home with people who like to cuddle and are willing to share a pillow at bedtime! When it’s playtime, I’ll be the first to entertain! I’ll do well in a home with gentle kids but I do not get along with dogs; they scare me. I’m about 6 and a half years old. You can adopt me for $80, which includes my spay, vaccinations, microchip, food and litter starter kit, and a free well-kitty checkup.

Happy Cats Haven: 719-362-4600, 327 Manitou Ave. Adoptions by appointment only until further notice. www.HappyCatsHaven.org, www.Facebook.com/HappyCatsHaven

Humane Society – Pet of the Week

Hear ye, hear ye! The Princess has arrived! I’m a 9-month-old white and brown tiger longhair cat who’s ready to find my new castle to call home. I’m currently reigning over the HSPPR’s cat colony room, as that’s where I get to interact with people and other cats all day. HSPPR staffers call me a sweet girl because just want love and attention. I’ll meow and purr with joy when I’m receiving pets and scratches behind the ears. I also have a social personality and enjoy playing with my toys. My adoption is $100, and I come with a voucher for a veterinary exam, vaccinations, 30 days of pet health insurance and a microchip, and I am already spayed. Just ask for Princess (1602555).
