By Marcus Hill Manitou Springs City Council discussed potential guidelines for water restrictions and other points during a near four-and-a-half-hour work session Tuesday, May 10. Councilors spent nearly an hour reviewing and discussing water usage as temperatures rise. Jeff Jones, Public Works director, and Russ Mills, Utilities superintendent, presented four tiers for potential water restrictions. Mills said the expectation is to enter restrictions “right away,” with Level 1. That permits even-numbered properties to use water outside on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Odd-numbered addresses would have Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays to use water outdoors. Maximum usage would be two hours per day and those who do not adhere to the guidelines would face a $100 fine. Levels 2 and 3 drop the number of days for water usage outdoors to two days and once per week, respectively. Fines would also increase to $250 at Level 2 and $500 at Level 3.

Coronavirus rates dropping, but we’re not out of the woods From Tuesday, April 26, to Tuesday, May 10, El Paso County has experienced 1,104 COVID-19 cases, 22 hospitalizations and one death. That’s a vast improvement over the statistics for Jan. 14, 2022, the peak of infections so far this year. According to the El Paso County Public Health Department, that one day saw 2,369 cases, 26 hospitalizations and seven deaths. People aged 60 to 69 lead all other age groups in hospitalizations, with 1,509, since the pandemic
reached the area in early March 2020. Peopled aged 70 to 79 are close behind with 1,319. The 80- to 89-year-old group leads all others with 462 deaths since March 1, 2020. El Paso County, with 1,688 total deaths, ties for third among deaths in the state’s most populous counties. Pueblo County has 475 deaths per 100,000 people, Adams County has 251 per 100,000 and El Paso and Jefferson counties have 232 per 100,000. The health department’s website states that
1,130,103 total doses of vaccine have been administered to El Paso County residents. That’s an increase of 4,073 since May 1. Vaccination rates as of May 8 break down to: • People vaccinated — 492,240 (71.8 percent of residents aged 5 or older); • Fully vaccinated — 443,636 fully vaccinated (64.7 percent of eligible people); and • Received boosters — 18,394 (27.2 percent of eligible people).

In March 2021, PikeRide received a one-year permit to operate in the city. The program ended in March 2022, but was granted a three-month extension. Kevin Stevenson, Mobility and Parking manager, said the pilot was extended by three months because “it could move under the purview of the mobility and parking department.” Stevenson said the e-bikes had “proven success” with hub locations connected to parks and that PikeRide wants to remain in Manitou. Councilor Nancy Fortuin supported the program remaining a part of the city. “I want to give my strong support to have them stay,” Fortuin said. “As a city we have a lot to do to improve our ability to manage micomobility. … I think it’s clear PikeRide has been such an amazing community partner.”

Garden club
Story and photo by Rhonda Van Pelt When anyone talks about the “circle of life,” they risk being accused of dabbling in clichés. And yet it’s true, especially in nature. The Manitou Springs Garden Club knows all about the circle of life. Members nurture plants in their homes and gardens and sell them at the annual plant sale. Those funds go to help others plant trees, vegetables and flowers to beautify Manitou and improve its environment for years to come. “Most of the plants we sell were started in our homes or divided from plants in our gardens. It is quite a labor of love,” longtime member Jeanie Taylor said. This year’s sale will include aspen logs inoculated with oyster mushrooms; Taylor said they hope to have about 30 available. The 2-foot-long logs cost $20 each. “Our plant sale and grant program are connected and truly reflect a ‘gift economy.’ We grow and ‘gift’ our plants to the sale, the public donates money for the plants and mushroom logs, and then we ‘gift’ the money back to the community,” Taylor said. “People who support our sale are supporting local efforts to enhance the

Students are asking:
Why are our teachers
RESIGNING? By Charlie Morgan, junior Editor’s note: This story was written for the Prospector, the MSHS campus newspaper. The topic is important to the community, and the Bulletin felt that this story and, we hope, others in future issues will help enlighten readers.
M
att Rogge, an English teacher at Manitou Springs High School, turned in his resignation letter on March 8. He has several reasons. “I decided not to pursue my teaching license,” said Rogge. “I feel like my life experiences and education have prepared me to be a valuable teacher.” Rogge first came to MSHS in the transition period between 2019 and 2020. When the English teacher he was subbing for resigned, he filled in as a long-term substitute. Later that year, he applied for the position. Rogge taught the 2020-2021 school year on an emergency license. Then, during the 2021-2022 school year, with a “statement of assurance” with MSSD14, he began working toward a professional teaching license through an alternative licensure program. This was complicated by COVID-19 and a car accident, and led to Rogge’s decision to not pursue the professional teaching license. It isn’t easy for Rogge to walk away. “I’m hesitant to leave knowing that many students need more than what they are getting in school,” he said. “And I think I’ve been an important part of giving them that for the time I’ve been at MSHS.” Although he is hesitant, this choice seems better for him as he doesn’t want to go through the training program. “I ultimately realized that my time was more valuable than sitting in a classroom and listening to many lessons and material that I had previously

learned and could teach myself,” said Rogge. He believes this decision will give him more time to pursue what makes him happy. “I’m back in the groove and feeling like anything is possible, literally,” said Rogge. “I will continue to substitute teach, coach and do leadership consulting with various professional and education organizations,” he added. “I will probably have time to do more endurance racing events and go on a few more surf trips with friends and key people in my life.” Nick Marro, a senior, is in Rogge’s Yearbook and English IV classes. He has built a strong relationship with Rogge, has learned a lot from him and values his presence.
He’s not just here to read the curriculum and leave. — Nick Marro “When it comes to Rogge, he is a good teacher but also a good person and mature figure,” Marro said. “It feels like he actually cares about you and the learning process you go through. A lot of teachers don’t have that.” It’s evident that Rogge has left an impact on the students and touched their hearts. Marro believes that his absence will affect next year’s students, as Rogge is not being replaced. “This will definitely affect next year’s students. Rogge has a certain style of teaching that is different than others,” Marro said,
“focusing on ideals and a walk-through method of teaching focused on opinions instead of hard facts that you could simply find on the internet. Rogge had us dive deep into books, movies, articles, journals and global events, having no wrong answer. Rogge wanted us to dive into personal thought and morals.” Marro feels that Rogge, the person, won’t be as easily replaced as the position is, as he teaches alternative methods to better the mind instead of the memory. “What made Rogge special was he’s not a fill-in teacher. He’s not just here to read the curriculum and leave,” said Marro. “Mr. Rogge actually teaches and cares and deserves a lot more than what some would choose to give. He will be missed and taught me a lot.” Jessica Moen, an English teacher and English Department chair, echoes Marro about the effect of Rogge’s resignation. “I’m saddened by his upcoming absence because he’s such a nice individual,” Moen said. “He shows up for kids in a way that you don’t always see in a staff member. So I think he makes such strong connections on a personal level with students. We’re going to miss him a lot.” Rogge has been a big part of the community in the last two and a half years, making many friendships with faculty and students. It seems inevitable that he will miss many things here, but he said that he’ll miss being there for others. “Seeing everyone and hearing about their challenges and accomplishments and sharing in that will be what I miss most,” Rogge said.

GARDEN CLUB/from page 5 help purchase plants to turn the school’s flower garden into a pollinator garden with native species, when possible. Dani Hainds, UPES secretary, is working with Greg DiFiore’s fifth-grade class as they’ve compiled a list of appropriate plants. “While researching for this project, the students have learned about planting zones, water and sun needs, which plant attract insects and bloom times,” Hainds wrote. “It is the plan that the garden will become a place of learning for all of our students — grades pre-K through sixth and perhaps the parents and community members.” Ute Pass Elementary’s fourth grade has also applied for funds, $200 to purchase an indoor composting system. Because of the area’s large population of bears, they need an indoor system to compost waste from student lunches. “An indoor composter will teach our students that we can all do our part to greatly decrease the amount of waste we produce as consumers,” the application said. “Our students are developing a deep and symbiotic relationship with the environment in order to become strong environmental students.” Haseya Advocate Program, which supports
Indigenous survivors of domestic and sexual violence, applied for $300 to buy two chokecherry trees for its healing garden at 109 S. Institute St. in Colorado Springs. “Once in full bloom, our community will harvest these chokecherries to create one of our traditional dished known as wojapi. Not only will our community nurture the trees but the fruit will, in return, provide for our people during our many community feasts,” Haseya’s application said. The Manitou Seed Library, housed in the temporary facility at 515 Manitou Ave., asked for $300 to buy native seeds that are suitable for this region so residents can plant them in their yards. That will help re-establish formerly common species and support pollinators. “Members of the community will be able to receive native wildflower, grass and shrub sees that can otherwise be difficult to find,” the application said. Garden club members are considering two more applications. Successful applicants will receive their grants this month. Using funds from last year’s sale, the club also made two emergency donations. Members gave $500 to the Manitou Springs Volunteer Fire Department to provide holiday meals to people in need, and $500 to the St. Andrew’s Church food pantry, which has struggled with supply issues and rising costs.

Construction update MAPS construction project on verge of major step Wildcat Construction will reconstruct and pave Manitou Avenue between the Ruxton roundabout and Tubby’s Turnaround from May 16-27. Major traffic impacts are expected due to the small amount of room to work in and concrete cure times. This stage of the Manitou Avenue from Park Avenue to Serpentine Drive Project (MAPS) will block access to the western end of Manitou Springs from Park Avenue or from downtown via Manitou Avenue. To reach this section of the city, take U.S. Highway 24 to Serpentine Drive. Emergency access through the area will be available at all times. This will be the final paving work in this part of the MAPS Project, resulting in completed utilities installation, roadways, sidewalks, curb and gutter from Park Avenue to the Smischny parking lot. After workers leave the area May 27, all major construction activities will take place between the Smischny lot and Serpentine Drive. The project is estimated for an early-summer completion.

Story and photo by Daniel Mohrmann With its sights set on winning a league championship, the Manitou Springs track team took the long trip to La Junta on May 7 to compete against the rest of the Tri-Peaks teams. Although the boys team took gold in six events, the Mustangs missed out on a league title by seven points. The 163 the boys scored was second to Banning Lewis’ 170. But the team points are a little misleading considering that not every team brought its full squad, which allowed athletes who wouldn’t normally generate points to add to team scores. Lairden Rogge makes the turn “I thought we did great,” during the 400-meter dash at the coach Anna Mack said. “It’s just Coronado Cougar Classic on hard to win something when not Friday, April 29. every team shows up and there’s a ton of scratches and other teams “There was a little bit of us trying are gaining points.” to figure out how much of it was Adding to the frustration is the heat and how much of it was how often the Mustangs made their being exhausted from the season.” way to the top of the podium.

reports, hearings and general misunderstanding and arguments. Representatives of HB&A, City Council and members of city staff will now meet to finalize costs. At press time, it was not anticipated that further formalize action would be necessary to start the zoning and planning revision process as outlined Tuesday.
Search Facebook for: Pikes Peak Bulletin Newspaper City Finance Director Mike Leslie reported to City Council at Tuesday’s work session that there was approximately $32,000 available for implementing changes in the zoning code and related public processes for 2005. The recommendations submitted by consultant HB&A were itemized and came with the cost of each item included. HB&A will be contracted to perform the work of revising the code and establishing revised processes so the recommendations also served as a de facto bid on each item even though the firm’s involvement to date eliminates the requirement for a new bidding process. The 12 items on the HB&A list total nearly $91,000. HB&A also indicated several, mostly procedural changes, that can contribute to a more efficient and less contentious process that can be implemented in-house at no cost. Operating within the $32,000 available this year, council identified the creation of approval criteria for each zoning category, including downtown, projected to cost $20,000; revising and updating the public process, projected to cost $9,100; reevaluating the setback requirements in the general residential zone, which consumes as much as one-third of planning staff’s time, projected to cost $5,000 and adopting and implementing the National Fire Prevention Association’s standard 299 at a projected cost of $3,600. The NFPA standard would provide clear-cut guidelines, especially for construction on upslopes, where none exist now and thereby eliminate considerable negotiation,

Happy Cats Haven – Pet of the Week Hi, I’m Pippa Longstocking, a beautiful Siamese domestic shorthair girl with stunning azure eyes! People say I may have some wild lineage because of my unique striping pattern and tiny tuffs on my ears. My wonderful hooman mom and small dog sibling had to move away and I couldn’t go with them. So I’m looking for a new furever home and maybe even another sweet, calm, feline friendly dog to be friends with! I do like to have secluded spot where I can relax by myself, but when it’s playtime I’ll come running! I’m about 3 years old and you can adopt me for $150, 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 Don’t worry about me leaving because I’ll stick by ya. My name is Stickers and I’m a 1-year-old domestic shorthair. I’m called a “good boy” because I’m very social and like to meow “hello” as soon as you walk in the door. All I need to be happy is a human lap to sit on and get attention. I love being petted so much that I’ll purr the entire time and almost fall over leaning into you. I have lived with other cats, so I could live with more feline friends. 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 neutered. Just ask for Stickers (1580737).
