MAYORAL RUNOFF

Headlines from the campaign trail

BY PAM ZUBECK | zubeck@csindy.com

THE MAYORAL RUNOFF ELECTION

between Yemi Mobolade and Wayne Williams is May 16. The election is being conducted entirely by mail.

The runoff is necessary because no candidate in the April 4 election captured more than 50 percent of the vote. The 12-way race was led by Mobolade with 30 percent, followed by Williams with 19 percent.

The Indy has written numerous stories about the election that have appeared online at csindy.com. We’re consolidating some of that reporting here for print readers in capsule form. Voting information is below.

Clark and Elder endorse Mobolade:

Former El Paso County Commissioner Sallie Clark, who ran third in the April 4 mayoral race, threw her support behind top vote-getter Mobolade in front of City Hall on April 27. Former El Paso County Sheriff Bill Elder has also endorsed Mobolade, a businessman and former pastor, Colorado Springs Chamber & EDC official, and city economic development administrator.

“As the past Sheriff of El Paso County and as someone who served this community for more than 40 years, I wholeheartedly endorse Yemi Mobolade for mayor,” Elder said in a news release, noting Mobolade’s commitment to support law enforcement and ensure neighborhoods are safe.

But Williams previously claimed in a campaign mailer that Elder had endorsed him.

At that time in March, Elder wrote on Facebook that he was “NOT endorsing a candidate” in the mayor’s race. He also wrote that he hadn’t authorized the use of his name by Williams.

In a statement, the Williams campaign responded by saying Elder had previously offered support. “After more of his [Elder’s] friends got into the race, he decided that he wanted to stay out of it.” The Williams campaign no longer cites Elder’s endorsement.

Williams then released endorsements from Mayor John Suthers, former Mayor Lionel Rivera, El Paso County Treasurer Chuck Broerman, Sheriff Joe Roybal, former District Attorney Dan May, and Colorado Springs police and fire organizations.

Offensive display:

(Content warning: Please be aware this story contains references to a racial slur.)

On April 23, a “Yemi for Mayor” sign was defaced with a racial slur and a burning cross planted in front of it.

Colorado Springs Police Department is investigating.

“There is no place in our community for racism,” Mayor John Suthers said in a statement. “No hate crime should be tolerated, and it needs to be fully investigated by the Police Department.”

The Mobolade campaign called the display “reprehensible” and “a distraction from what this election is about — our families and building a Colorado Springs that puts our families first.”

Williams issued a statement, saying, “I strongly condemn whoever staged this horrific scene.”

City labels Mobolade “successful” and “exceptional”:

Mobolade, who served as the city’s small business development administrator from 2019 to 2022, received job ratings of “successful” and “exceptional,” according to job evaluations obtained by the Indy via the Colorado Open Records Act.

His supervisor, Economic Development Officer Bob Cope, assigned him an overall score of 2.3 on a 1-3 scale, which falls between 2 (“successful”) and 2.5 (“exceeds expectations”); 3 means “exceptional performance.”

Mobolade scored level-3 ratings in some areas, 2.5 in others and 2 in several others.

The reviews covered the 2019 and 2020 years. Reviews were not performed for 2021, because Mobolade gave the city advanced notice he planned to resign in the first quarter of 2022. He resigned March 4, and announced his candidacy for mayor on April 4, 2022.

Mobolade’s salary history, also obtained through CORA, shows three pay hikes based on performance, two based on pay progression in the marketplace and two annual increases also received by other employees. His pay grew from $87,999 when hired to $107,147.

Using labels:

Williams unveiled ads in late April claiming that Mobolade wants to “engineer outcomes,” which Williams says “sounds exactly like socialism.” The ads also state, “Liberal politicians have DEVASTATED cities across our Country.” However, Mobolade is an independent.

Williams’ flyers also say, “PROTECT YOUR CITY, VOTE CONSERVATIVE WAYNE WILLIAMS,” and say Williams is concentrating on low taxes, infrastructure and quality of life. Williams is using the same “liberal” versus “conservative” language in text ads.

Mobolade has relied on ads that imply Williams will serve “special interests” and that Mobolade will focus on the interests of all citizens. He criticized Williams’ labeling, saying in a statement that Williams is “clearly grasping at straws” and that Mobolade is focused on issues “impacting our families, like housing affordability, safer neighborhoods, and a strong economy.”

Return your ballots:

All ballots must be returned by 7 p.m. on Election Day, May 16. If you have not received a ballot or have questions, contact the City Clerk’s office at 719-385-5901 or visit coloradosprings.gov/Election, where you will also find drop box locations.

LET THE LIGHT IN

BY PAM ZUBECK | zubeck@csindy.com

DID YOU KNOW THAT FOUR OF FIVE EL Paso County commissioners have business or nonprofit interests outside their commissioner roles?

If you didn’t, that’s understandable, considering commissioners and other county elected officials don’t have to file annual disclosure statements listing financial or other types of holdings or interests, unlike state, federal and city of Colorado Springs officials.

In other words, there’s no clear window into commissioners’ personal interests and whether those might conflict with their public roles.

That fact came to light during the Indy ’s recent investigation into Commission Chair Cami Bremer’s phone call to District 5 City Councilor Nancy Henjum asking Henjum to vote a certain way on a water rule that impacted property Bremer and her husband Eli Bremer have invested in.

Unlike officials at other levels of government, commissioners are under no obligation to disclose their holdings on an annual basis, which would allow citizens to more easily discover any potential conflicts of interest.

Both an ethics expert and an advocate for open government say all elected officials should disclose on a periodic and regular basis what they own and their financial interests.

“The trust in government can actually be enhanced when there’s more access to information about the private interests of public officials so that it’s more readily apparent when there might be a conflict of interest at work at a time when a public decision is about to be made,” says Dr. John Pelissero, a senior scholar at Santa Clara University’s Markkula Center for Applied Ethics, who’s written extensively on local government.

— Commissioner

such disclosure “a pain in the neck” and an “intrusion.”

But a county spokesperson notes state laws already require commissioners to disclose potential conflicts of interest prior to taking action on specific matters and that requiring annual disclosure would be up to state lawmakers, not commissioners.

“Unlike the City, we don’t have the ability to adopt code sections with the force of law imposing a more stringent disclosure standard,” says Vernon Stewart, county executive director of communications.

“It’s just important to good government that citizens always know that our public officials are acting in the public interest and what’s best for the common good and not acting out of a personal financial interest in the time they’re making decisions,” he says. “Disclosure is a way of providing that information. Their ultimate goal is to increase trust we place in the integrity of public officials and the decisions they make.”

When asked whether they would support adopting disclosure requirements, commissioners gave mixed responses.

One said he was open to the idea, while another called

WITH NO FILING

REQUIREMENT

FOR COMMISsioners and other county officials to report financial assets and interests, the Indy conducted a cursory records check using public records of businesses and property.

Four of five commissioners have side interests in nonprofits or for-profit enterprises, and all own homes (see sidebar), though the residential property of one, Cami Bremer, was obscured, as we’ll explain later.

Pelissero, who’s also professor emeritus of political science at Loyola University Chicago where he served on the faculty for 35 years, says a lack of disclosure makes it difficult, if not impossible, to determine whether elected officials might have conflicts of interest on a public matter.

In one of his books on ethical behavior in government, he wrote that every public servant “enters into a covenant with the people” to not use their office for personal gain.

He tells the Indy by phone that the public shouldn’t have to jump through hoops to determine if their elected official has a personal interest at stake in a public matter.

Absent regular disclosure filings, he says, “The public wouldn’t know and would have to spend a lot of time trying to find out whether public officials have personal, business, financial interests that intertwined with the business of local government.

Jeff Roberts, executive director of the Colorado Freedom of Information Coalition, says via email that the voting public deserves to know if decisions made by elected officials could impact those officials’ personal finances.

“Financial disclosure information should be publicly available and regularly updated,” he says, noting that, sadly, Colorado’s Public Official Disclosure Law, part of the Sunshine Act approved by voters in 1972, covers only legislators, state office holders, DAs, judges and other state officials.

Such disclosure mandates should be universal, Roberts says, and notes the state’s rules of conduct for local government officials require disclosure by those officials who have “a personal or private interest in any matter proposed or pending before the governing body.” Such officials also are barred from voting on the matter or attempting to influence other decision-makers.

State law pertinent to local officials states they shall not “perform an official act directly and substantially affecting to its economic benefit a business or other undertaking in which he either has a substantial financial interest or is engaged as counsel, consultant, representative, or agent.”

That said, without officials filing annual disclosures, the public might not be aware of a financial interest that should trigger an official’s disclosure and subsequent recusal, meaning that the effectiveness of the conduct rules relies on the officials themselves deciding when to disclose and when to recuse.

This restricts citizens’ ability to act as a government watchdog, the bedrock of democracy.

OTHER GOVERNMENT

ENTITIES

RECOGNIZED the importance of disclosure long ago.

The Congressional Research Office issued a report

There’s no transparency in financial holdings of county elected officials

I would have no issues doing an annual statement.

Longinos Gonzalez Jr.

last November regarding the Ethics in Government Act of 1978, which is designed to “preserve and promote the integrity of public officials and institutions” by requiring federal government officials and employees to file annual financial disclosure statements.

Those statements report income, gifts, liabilities, property — both real property and business-related personal property — positions in business enterprises and other organizations, and any agreements relating to post-government employment.

They serve as the basis for the government’s review and analysis of covered individuals’ real and perceived conflicts of interest.

The disclosure law is rooted in the mandate that officials place loyalty to the Constitution, laws and ethical principles above private gain. Thus, to prevent real or perceived conflicts of interest, federal law bars federal officials and employees from participating “personally or substantially” in any activity that involves financial interests held by them or their spouse, minor child, general partner or previous organization.

The goal, quite simply, is to assure that “official decisions ... be made in the interests of the common good,

not in the narrow self-interests of the individuals in power,” the Research Office said.

Those same principles apply in the state of Colorado and the city of Colorado Springs.

As the Indy previously reported, Colorado law requires elected officials to file periodic disclosures providing “basic information about their income and liabilities,” according to the Colorado Secretary of State’s website.

Those officials include the attorney general, governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, treasurer, justices and judges, General Assembly members, BingoRaffle Advisory Board members, University of Colorado regents, district attorneys, Gaming Commission members, Lottery Commission members, trustees of the Public Employees Retirement Association board, Racing Commission members, and State Board of Education members.

Available upon request, the disclosure filings include property ownership, IRA investments, life insurance policies and the like owned by officials and their spouses. Similarly, Colorado Springs City Council members and the mayor are required by ordinance to file annual

disclosure statements reflecting their and their spouse’s holdings.

But El Paso County elected officials aren’t required to disclose their holdings in written statements. Thus, the public has no easy way to discover their financial interests.

It’s unclear how widespread the lack of disclosure is among counties, because Colorado Counties Inc., which represents 61 counties on proposed legislation and other concerns, says it doesn’t track those requirements.

EVEN IF A CITIZEN TOOK THE TIME TO CHECK

out local property records of their elected officials, they might not find everything.

That’s because a Colorado anti-stalking law adopted 20 years ago and since revised allows various public officials and others to shield personal information, including their home addresses, from public view on government websites. That law covers code enforcement officers, child protection workers, judges, prosecuting attorneys and peace officers, among many others.

But elected officials, per se, are not covered by that law.

El Paso County Assessor Mark Flutcher tells the Indy via email that he served as a reserve deputy sheriff for 23 years and, thus, had his address blocked. It remains so “due to the bad folks [criminals] I was working with.”

Likewise, he says, “Many of the law enforcement community choose to remain blocked after retiring because some cases drag out for years.” Moreover, he says, some officers have played a role in convicting people who hold grudges and could seek revenge years later.

PULLING BACK THE CURTAIN

Because El Paso County commissioners don’t have to file disclosure statements, the Indy went in search of records that would reveal their financial interests. Here’s what we found:

Cami Bremer: No residential property listed on the County Assessor’s Office website. It’s been blocked. (See main story.)

She serves as registered agent, as of Aug. 23, 2022, for Colorado International Language Academy, a nonprofit corporation formed as Global Village Academy, a public charter school, in 2012, according to Colorado Secretary of State records.

(She reportedly owns a stake, with her husband Eli Bremer, in Norris Ranch Joint Venture LLC, nearly 1,800 acres of land outside the city. Another 644-acre tract that lies southeast of Norris Ranch is owned by her father-in-law, former County Commissioner Duncan Bremer. But Cami Bremer’s name is not tied to either property through public records.)

Carrie Geitner: She and her husband own a home the assessor values at about $600,000 in Meridian Ranch northeast of the city.

She’s listed as the registered agent for a nonprofit called Engage the Rockies, formed on Dec. 2, 2022. That filing also lists Cortney Salt as being involved. Cortney Salt owns a property with Aaron Salt, who was appointed on Dec. 7, 2021, by the Board of County Commissioners to serve on the Pikes Peak Library District Board of Trustees. Geitner voted on that appointment, according to meeting minutes, but the vote occurred a year prior to the formation of the nonprofit.

Stan VanderWerf: He and his wife own a house in the Broadmoor Bluffs area in southwest Colorado Springs that the assessor says is worth about $831,000.

He’s listed as the registered agent for Rocky Mountain Innovation Partners, a nonprofit started in March 2015. He became the registered agent in February 2022. The agency is described on a 2018 IRS Form 990, the most recent accessible, as providing education to innovative entrepreneurs.

VanderWerf says this entity has “no active contracts.”

VanderWerf also serves as registered agent for Freedom Center of the Rockies Foundation, a nonprofit formed March 13, 2023.

This entity, he says, is in the formation process and will conduct research on the size of government, the power and value of local action to solve community problems and promoting civil discourse. It currently has no funding but he says it likely will seek donations through memberships.

VanderWerf also is registered agent for Colorado Engineering, Manufacturing and Technolo gy LLC, formed in February 2013. It’s also known as CEM-Tek and is a 3D printing company.

While this entity had active contracts when he became a commissioner, there was “nothing I could ascertain that would be a conflict of interest.” The company is currently on “warm status” and could be revived after he leaves office in 2025, he says.

Advanced Capitol, an entity with which he’s also involved, is not active, VanderWerf says.

Holly Williams: She and her husband own a townhome in north Colorado Springs near Library 21c that the assessor says is worth about $520,000.

She serves as registered agent for Holly Williams LLC, which was formed in September 2013 as a vehicle for her private activities, such as teaching piano lessons and performing online communications work. It’s currently dormant but she keeps it active so she can return to those activities after she leaves office, she says.

Longinos Gonzalez Jr.: He owns two townhomes — one in the Chelton Road and Hancock Expressway area that the assessor values at about $346,000 and another in Gold Hill Mesa that the assessor values at $449,500. He also owns a rental property in Florida. He has no ties to businesses that report to the Secretary of State’s Office.

Longinos Gonzalez Jr. Holly Williams Stan VanderWerf Carrie Geitner

Cami Bremer

Flutcher notes that last year, the Colorado General Assembly further modified the law to include protections for election workers. Former Clerk and Recorder Chuck Broerman, who now serves as county treasurer and has his home information blocked, has previously noted the aggressive behavior against election workers demonstrated by election deniers.

Although Flutcher says the blocking law remains “weak at best,” because the data can be shared by other means, it’s one of the few avenues citizens would have to seek out what properties their county commissioners own.

Bremer is the only El Paso County commissioner whose residential property is blocked from the public on the assessor’s site. Former Assessor Steve Schleiker says the block was imposed after Bremer was appointed to the El Paso County Public Health board and the agency and its board members received threats amid the COVID pandemic.

IN MARCH, WHEN REPORTING ON BREMER’S phone call to Councilor Henjum regarding a decision affecting Bremer’s property investment, the Indy asked Bremer to explain how a potential conflict of interest could be known or discovered by the public, since county officials aren’t required to file disclosure reports. (The property at issue in which Bremer has invested is listed in the name of a limited liability company.) The Indy also asked what efforts commissioners have made to require disclosure, and whether she would support such an effort.

Bremer didn’t address any of those questions in a written statement provided by Stewart at that time but rather said she “has always acted according to statute.”

WHEN YOU’RE SERIOUS ABOUT REAL ESTATE

She did not return a recent phone call about the disclosure question.

Commissioner Longinos Gonzalez Jr., the only El Paso County commissioner without a registered nonprofit or LLC with the state, was elected in 2017 and reelected in 2021.

Property records show he owns a home in the Chelton Road and Hancock Expressway area where he lives and another property in Gold Hill Mesa that serves as a rental. He also owns a rental property in Florida, he tells the Indy

Asked if he would support a county disclosure requirement, he says, “I would be open to something like that. I would have no issues doing an annual statement.”

He recently disclosed ownership of the Gold Hill Mesa property and recused himself from voting on a measure that would assign tax increment financing to a commercial development in that area.

“Urban renewal could potentially add value to my home, so I felt more comfortable not voting for that,” he says. “I stated my ownership, and I thought it made more sense to not have the perception of conflict of interest.”

Commissioner Stan VanderWerf, who has the most outside interests among commissioners, was less enthusiastic about the idea of disclosure.

Although he had to file disclosure reports while serving in the Air Force due to his security clearance status, he called such filings “an intrusion into a person’s life.”

Perfect mountain living close to town, located just outside of Colorado Springs. MLS# 4046587

But he adds that he would “reserve whether I would support that [disclosure requirement],” noting he’s not sure disclosure “delivers the outcome people are looking for” and “from a bureaucratic point of view [is] a pain in the neck.”

VanderWerf has voluntarily disclosed some conflicts, such as his wife’s membership on the Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region’s board, and then voted on county budgets that included funding for the agency.

He doesn’t recall recusing himself from any vote due to a conflict or perceived conflict due to his outside interests.

Commissioner Holly Williams announced a potential conflict and recused herself from voting once — on the purchase of ballots. That’s because her husband, AtLarge City Councilor and mayoral candidate Wayne Williams, at that time represented the ballot company at issue, she says.

While Holly Williams supports being transparent, she says any county disclosure requirement should be imposed statewide, “because the county is, technically, an arm of the state.”

Asked if she would support an El Paso County measure, she says, “That is something we would have to discuss as commissioners. I don’t know the legalities or ramifications of all that.”

Commissioner Carrie Geitner didn’t respond to a phone call seeking comment.

I met with Spokane-based Executive Director Kevin Finch in late 2022 ahead of the 501(c)(3)’s expansion here. He’s a former food critic who launched Big Table in 2009. As told on their site, he saw the “incred ible need and very little safety net in the nation’s largest working population — the restaurant and hospitality industry… [he] found that there was not a single nonprofit focusing on the unique needs of industry workers in crisis.”

There are now offices in San Diego and Nashville as well. Our local program is being led by City Director Tom Brennan and Care Engagement Coordinator Danny Erwin, who I recently got acquainted with over coffee. They launched services here on March 20 and Brennan told me they’re currently funded for two years.

You’ll see some references to faith and service work on Big Table’s website, but it’s not super in-your-face like some faith-based organizations. “In short, we exist to serve hope,” the organization wrote in one Instagram post. Finch and I spoke about that faith element during our meeting. In his online bio, he addresses it directly: “[Finch’s] day job during those years [as a food critic] was that of a pastor, but when he discovered that this title was an instant barrier for

If you spend a moment watching one of their short videos online, you’ll hear staff describe the goal of stabilizing folks during crisis, and offering followup care too. They’ve targeted five core impact areas: housing stability, addiction recovery, job readiness, medical and dental care, and mental and emotional health and life coaching. Big Table offers aid through things like utilities assistance, help with rent or a deposit for housing, car repair, a bike for work transportation, etc. The referral model on which they’re operating means they don’t take selfreferrals: “Potential care recipients must be referred by another person aware of their need — preferably a supervisor or coworker.”

If it’s news to you that the restaurant and hospitality industry has a need for such services, consider that one in six restaurant workers is living below the official poverty line, according to stats on Big Table’s site. Here’s another: 43 percent of those in the industry fall below the “survival” income line set by economists.

The Springs Big Table chapter will host its first industry dinner in late June, followed by another in early August. But I don’t have a ticket link to direct you to, because you aren’t invited. Rather, guests at specially arranged, 48-seat Big Tables hail from inside the industry. Says Brennan: “We invite people who serve, who don’t get a chance to be served.”

STORY AND PHOTOS BY MATTHEW SCHNIPER

“THIS IS CAKE”

IDROPPED BY THE MEDITERRAnean Cafe (118 E. Kiowa St., medcafe-co.com) last week to grab one of my old favorite sandwiches: the Half & Half (a fair $9.75). I used to get it often for lunch when I worked Downtown at the Indy’s offices. The sandwich is a mashup of the typical falafel with either gyro or chicken meat that gets folded in pita with cucumber, onion, house-made pickle (an especially appreciated touch), lettuce, tomato, feta cheese, giardiniera, tahini sauce, tzatziki and harissa. Yes, “complex” is an apropos descriptor for all those layered flavors that perfectly balance richness and acidity, with fresh pop atop.

While dining, I came to learn that longtime owners/chefs Pat Kennelly and Mike Bergman sold the business (originally opened in 2000) around a year and a half ago (in August 2021) to Ronald and Brittany Hunter. Ronald was on-site to chat, and told me he comes from 22 years’ cooking/cheffing in the industry. He graduated from Arizona Culinary Institute and worked in fine dining, and after moving to the Springs several years ago he spent three years at The Broadmoor, leading brunch service out of the main kitchen. From there, he did a couple-year stint as chef de cuisine at The Club at Flying Horse.

As for making changes to the menu since taking over Med Cafe, Hunter tells me he has largely kept the menu exactly how it was, but he has “enhanced the recipes to put my own technique into them.” (Basically, why change what’s always worked and earned a local following?) He says he does run specials, like a recent flank steak pita, and he’s tentatively thinking about adding a dinner menu in 2024. When I ask what it’s like to run a casual Mediterranean spot after coming out of high-volume fine dining, he laughs and says “This is cake. It’s the easiest job I’ve ever had.”

Jessica and Richard Fierro Courtesy Brewers Association

Presented By

Hosted By

Among this year’s recipients are Jessica and Richard Fierro, co-owners of Atrevida Brewery (204 Mount View Lane, atrevidabeerco.com).

They earned the Brewers Association Recognition Award, presented annually “to an individual or company whose inspiration, enthusiasm, and support have contributed to the craft brewing movement.”

In the award bios, they cite Atrevida’s inclusive “Diversity, it’s on tap!” motto, plus their businesswoman- and Latina-owned aspect. But they also pay homage to Rich’s heroism when he tackled and helped disarm the assailant at the Nov. 19, 2022 Club Q shooting, “undoubtedly saving lives.”

As the association concluded, “The Fierros truly embody the meaning of their brewery’s name, ‘Atrevida,’ which means bold or daring in Spanish, and their many contributions have inspired the craft brewing community and beyond.”

GO FOR THE MOLE

IFIRST WROTE A PREVIEW of Zocalo (418 S. Tejon St., zocalocolorado.com) in the Dec. 18, 2022 Indy. In mid-March, I

published a review behind a paywall at sidedishschnip.substack. com. A month after publication, I released it from captivity (as per my current agreement with subscribers, which favors the early birds). This means you can now read it in full, and glean my thoughts on their magical mole, superb cocktails and much more.

Here’s an excerpt:

We aren’t expecting to be as blown away as we are by the enchilada, though. We order a chicken mole and it’s so stunning we promptly order a beef mole version as well to double-check our glee. Yes, the mole is that damn amazing; Christian tells me it’s the same his dad’s been serving in Chicago for 15 years, and it may be the finest we’ve ever had. (I’m paranoid in writing that, like what if they do slip on consistency? They can’t, they mustn’t!) The faint anise is just perfect, and none of the many ingredients fall out of harmony. It’s not too sweet or chocolaty and there’s nice spice counterpoint and even an umami-like depth. Seriously, you gotta go for it.

Matthew Schniper is the former Food & Drink editor and critic at the Indy. You can find expanded food and drink news and reviews at sidedishschnip.substack.com.

But the new location is a double-edged sword

On the one hand, SET will be better served situated directly across from Bancroft Park in a slice of town with a well-defined arts community and rows of galleries and shops. On the other, despite the isolated location in a quiet residential neighborhood in the middle of Colorado Springs, the city is losing a long-time performance venue outside the vaunted Avenue Creative Conduit between Manitou Springs

Radcliffe says, “One of the things I hear too often from people coming through the door to see a show is, ‘Oh, I didn’t even know that Springs Ensemble Theatre existed, how long you’ve been around?’

Millibo Summer Camps!

While SET had a gut feeling about the potential move, putting out feelers in advance (SET member Adam Stepan, who recently starred in a production , owns The Forty-Niner), it was still a shock when the landlord served them with a notice to vacate. The company had a final show in its sea, and the landlord wouldn’t let them finish it out in the company’s long-held space. (That production will be performed at another venue, but Radcliffe was unable to disclose which

Like other smaller community theater groups that feature volunteer actors and younger players, SET has always faced space insecurity due to not owning its venue. Radcliffe points to the Star Bar Players, a long-running theater group that performed in City Auditorium until it disbanded over rising rent costs, Counterweight Theatre Lab, which has scaled back the number of their shows, and THEATREdART, which has switched formats to become a more promenade/

While the pandemic and subsequent inflation have made things economically difficult for many groups, Radcliffe paints a picture of the local performance arts

scene riding economic waves that last years or decades. After the 2008 recession depreciated land values and slashed rents, groups like SET and the Millibo Art Theatre were able to move into new spaces and be more innovative with their productions.

“It’s just one of those things where unless we get big money donations, or we get landlords that are willing to be more generous with rent offerings or with space letting, this is going to continue to be a problem,” Radcliffe says.

But SET and others can’t wait on large economic downturns to lower their monthly bills, so what else can they do?

“That’s a big question… a big, big, big question. I think there is more that the county and city politicians can do to deliberately support the arts. If you look at the recent election we had, very few of the [candidates] mentioned a thriving arts scene.”

SET’s sudden move should sound an alarm bell in the community about more bad things to come, but in Radcliffe’s view, the arts scene isn’t completely without help from local governments.

“I do want to say that the city’s Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services office does a pretty good job of allocating resources and helping build things with things like the Lodgers and Automobile Rental Tax fund, but I think there is opportunity for more growth there.”

For now, as we tour their transformed space, Radcliffe and SET are confident they have a way forward and the means to get there.

“Right now, we’re in this kind of dark place and the only way out of that is through,” he says.

Focus Small Business Week

Game on! Small Business Week kicks off June 2

Colorado Springs is set to champion its small businesses June 2-8, during the city’s 16th annual Small Business Week.

Colorado Springs Small Business Week, hosted by the Pikes Peak Small Business Development Center, the Colorado Springs Chamber & EDC and Better Business Bureau of Southern Colorado, has grown to be recognized as the largest and most well-attended in the state — and one of the biggest in the country, according to Paul Myers-Bennett, vice president of marketing and events for the local BBB.

More than 11,000 people were logged into the online forums during the pandemic, he says.

While National Small Business Week is the first week of May, “we push our event out to June because we like to have big outdoor gatherings, and this is Colorado, where weather is a thing,” Myers-Bennett says.

This year’s event is sports themed with the kickoff Small

Business Bash hosted at Weidner Field. Tickets to the event — a party centered around networking opportunities and outdoor festivities — include access to the Switchbacks soccer game following.

All the workshops and events will be held at sports venues around town, including a marketing workshop titled “Becoming a Marketing Champion” at the ProRodeo Hall of Fame & Museum of the American Cowboy; “Flying at the Speed of Business: How to Build For The Future” at iFly Indoor Skydiving; “Building a Championship Team: How to Attract and Retain MVPs” at the Rocky Mountain Vibes stadium; and the closing ceremony celebrating Small Business Week award winners at the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum.

“There’s no other event like this honoring and celebrating small business and small business owners,” MyersBennett says.

BBB of Southern Colorado has been part of organizing

Small Business Week from the beginning, and it’s the organization’s biggest event of the year.

“Small business is incredibly important to our community and our local economy,” Myers-Bennett says. “Our economy is small business — period. It’s where money comes into our community and where it stays in our community.”

The majority of BBB of Southern Colorado’s members are small businesses, he says.

The Colorado Springs Chamber & EDC is again helping to host Small Business Week, having been part of forming the event in the early years. “We’re excited to have them back in the mix,” Myers-Bennett says.

Pikes Peak SBDC has long been a driving force behind the event locally — during her decade as executive director there, Aikta Marcoulier spearheaded the event through continued on p. 18 ➔

Eldridge, who previously worked in business banking with JPMorgan Chase and Vectra Bank for 11 years and has served on numerous local boards and nonprofits, calls himself a “community builder”

and is enthusiastic about the organization’s flagship event.

“The workshops and events are very robust and have great content,” Eldridge says. “But they’re also excellent networking opportunities. You’re going to meet other small business owners who will inspire you and who are going to help you move your business forward.”

with a twist. With artificial intelligence generating buzz worldwide, organizers decided a workshop on integrating AI into marketing would meet a pressing need.

The second workshop is on the future of business and how economic trends may impact local small business.

“We’re post pandemic,” Myers-Bennett says. “We’re out of it now, so what does the future look like? How can we plan for it and adapt to the new world?”

The third workshop addresses employee recruitment and retention, which MyersBennett says directly tackles a need among small businesses in the Springs.

“Hiring and retaining talent has been a real struggle,” he says. “These are things our members and local small business owners have been asking about.”

The Cultural Office of the Pikes Peak Region’s Board of Directors last month appointed Angela Seals as its new executive director. Seals joined COPPeR in 2014, rising to the position of deputy director before leaving briefly last year to launch a project management firm specializing in creative industries. She returned as interim executive director in December.

How did you first get involved with the managerial side of the arts?

I’ve worked in arts management for 20 years. My first year was in Washington, D.C. Quickly after that I moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I lived in Pittsburgh for a decade, during what is now called the ‘third Renaissance,’ where the city was really undergoing a dramatic reinvention of its identity, of its local economy, and itself as a destination. And the arts were a big part of that work, and I found it incredibly rewarding to see how local arts could really support a community’s identity and shifting story over time.

Where were you working in Pittsburgh?

I worked for the Cultural Trust, the Dance Council, and the Children’s Museum there. I saw how having artists at the table or in those important conversations really improved those conversations. And I started to really identify as an arts manager because of the way I could lift up and amplify other people through that work. I like work that has a ripple effect, and arts management — particularly from a local arts agency — really does. The story of my career, even though I’ve been at various places, really is about exploring how the arts can help places reinvent themselves, and how my own career can amplify other creatives.

How did your childhood affect your interest in the arts?

I identified as an artist and as a writer from a young age. All through school my favorite genres to explore were theater, writing, illustration, also sculpture. And I did those all up through my undergraduate program — I got a literature degree with a theater minor. I think in arts management I’ve found a way to apply those in the community in a way that connects back to the fact that I grew up in a very small town. I grew up in rural Ohio — in dairy country at the time — so there were very few arts experiences. I was one of those rural children who would go on a

field trip 30 minutes away to a town that had a theater. Those early arts education experiences that included rural children like me are really powerful because I was a creative person, but I didn’t see very many creative people working around me, or as part of the life of our little town. So I’ve always been a really big advocate for the role of early arts experiences and helping expose children to the diversity of paths that they can take.

How does your creativity affect your personal growth and leadership style?

As a child, I processed my life through stories. I was always writing stories and drawing. Often the things I was writing about closely resembled things we were going through in our family. I think that [my parents] just very quickly realized that the arts were a way that I understood the world and that I needed it to make meaning. And I think that’s true of a lot of children. A lot of times we get so focused on the arts as a career path or not; an education as training for a career. But really learning the arts, especially in youth or after trauma as an adult, is a way we can learn to make meaning and make peace with life around us. It’s like a core life skill.

What are you currently working on with COPPeR?

Since I’ve come back, we’ve been looking at how to more boldly bring to life the 10 year cultural plan, Arts Vision 2030. I was the project manager for that during the pandemic, so it’s really close to my heart and I really believe in it. What can we lead? What pieces of that cultural plan can we lean into with a light touch that would have a vast ripple effect across the city? So that’s really what the work is this spring. We’re hiring two new positions right now. There will be two new program areas for the Cultural Office, focusing on some work we’ve done all through the past 17 years, but much more intention and investment in the creative economy and in developing local creatives. I think those [goals] are a result of a lot of reading and rereading the cultural plan and its findings — and listening to what the community said was needed. n CSBJ

THE FED’S GOAL? More unemployment

THESE DAYS, AMERICA’S top economic officials tend to speak in unintelligible bureaucratic gobbledygook. But once upon a time, there was a plainspoken White House economist, and he even had a sense of humor. He didn’t last.

Alfred Kahn was chastised by the White House in 1978 for speaking clearly and honestly about the looming possibility of a depression: “Too blunt… use softer words!” So Kahn started calling the downturn a looming “banana.” When banana industry lobbyists complained, he switched to “kumquat.”

In that spirit, let me warn you about an unemployment “taco” that the autocratic Federal Reserve system is cooking up for working families. The Fed (as it is called by the jolly bankers who run it) says it is imposing “the restoration between supply and demand in the labor market.” They soothingly add that “there will very likely be some softening in labor market conditions.”

In plain language, this is blatant class war by the privileged few against the many.

MEANWHILE, IN WISCONSIN... IN

a momentous progressive win, voters there elected County Judge Janet Protasiewicz to their state supreme court. She thumped a mega-MAGA-Republican by 11 points in a pivotal race, ending a dark decade of unbridled right-wing partisan extremism by that court’s GOP majority. But the vote has profound implications reaching far beyond the Badger State. Its deeper meaning was brought home to me on election eve when the Republican candidate — a Trump-hugging, gerrymandering, anti-choice lawyer — complained that, “Doing a statewide campaign… is kind of hard.” Well, yes, but to paraphrase a song by a band called the Austin Lounge Lizards, “Campaigning is hard/But it’s harder when you’re stupid.”

Not that the lawyer lacked intellect, but smart is as smart does. What the swing state of Wisconsin showed is that this right-wing candidate and other arrogant GOP fanatics are stupid if they think people won’t care that

1) Republicans are shutting people out of the voting booth, and

You can almost hear them humming “Rock-a-bye Baby,” but don’t nod off. As Bryce Covert, the insightful economic digger and truth-teller recently explained, there’s nothing soft about the Fed’s arbitrary policy — it means “fewer raises and more people out of work… which means about 1.5 million people will lose their jobs.” She documents that, historically, such a jolt of unemployment will probably (get ready for scary words) “trigger a recession.” Or a “taco” if that makes you feel better.

The mumbo-jumbo of economists aside, what we have here is the same old power play of moneyed elites putting the jobs and wages of working families on the chopping block to jack up the exorbitant profits of monopolistic corporations. When the Fed bankers say they’re “restoring balance,” they mean restoring the power of corporate bosses to rule unilaterally over America’s workaday majority.

2) they’re running as ideological autocrats promising to use state power to outlaw the inherent right of a woman to make her own deeply personal decision about abortion.

Moreover, Judge Janet’s big win sends a gut-check message to meek Democratic Party officials and donors who continually admonish candidates and local activists to be middle-of-the-roaders, compromising the people’s “little-d” democratic principles in hopes of winning some Republican votes. Protasiewicz was straight with voters, proudly campaigning to be a pro-choice, pro-worker, prodemocracy justice.

Because of both the integrity and clarity of her message, she generated a record turnout, greatly increased participation by women and young voters, and — especially noteworthy — made significant inroads in rural and workingclass counties that had been considered Trump country. She showed that if Democrats stand up for the people, people will stand up for Democrats.

THIS IS BLATANT CLASS WAR BY THE PRIVILEGED FEW AGAINST THE MANY.

FAIR AND UNBALANCED

AGAIN? TRUMP VS. BIDEN

WHEN JOE BIDEN BEAT

Donald Trump in the 2020 election — and, yes, Biden did beat Donald Trump; if you don’t believe me, just check Tucker Carlson’s emails — the last thing I expected was that the most likely scenario for the 2024 election would be a Biden-Trump rematch.

But that, incredibly, seems to be where we’re headed — a replay pitting the oldest president in American history vs. the most corrupt (give or take) and certainly most dissembling president in American history. If age bothers you, you should probably note that Trump is nearly as old as Biden and, as you may have noticed, bows to no one in his ability to, uh, ramble.

If you’re looking for someone to blame for this replay, you can start with those mainstream Republicans who, despite so many opportunities over so many years, have simply refused to kick the Trump habit.

We knew Trump would never accept — could never accept — that he had lost an election. He said before the votes were even counted in 2020 that if he lost, it meant the election was rigged. Of course, in 2016, when he actually won in the Electoral College vote, he said much the same thing.

What we didn’t know — what we couldn’t know — is that two years after the fact, Republican election-deniers would have co-opted the party, just as the MAGA team co-opted Fox News to the tune of the $787.5 million they had to pay Dominion Voting Systems for promoting the Big Lie.

If Trump weren’t a factor, I don’t know if Biden would be running again. Biden would be 82 in 2024 and, if I’m doing the math right, he’d be 86 when his term ends. I’m old enough, though, to remember the last time an incumbent president’s age was an issue. Ronald Reagan, then a mere 73 in 1984, carried 49 states against Walter Mondale.

If Trump weren’t a factor and Biden had still chosen to run, I think you might have

seen him facing real competition in a primary, by which I mean opponents slightly more credible than spiritualist Marianne Williamson and anti-vaxxer Robert Kennedy Jr. But Trump is obviously a factor. It’s not just that he is leading in the early GOP primary polling. It’s way too early for Ron DeSantis, assumed to be Trump’s most formidable opponent, to think about polls. Here’s DeSantis’ problem: It’s hard to find a Republican who isn’t a Never Trumper who is willing to even criticize Trump. And that includes DeSantis, who can’t win without winning over Trump voters.

It’s not loyalty, I promise you, that keeps Republicans in line. It’s fear. And for those Republicans who loathe Trump — and there are many — their fear has trumped their loathing time after time after time.

When Biden was elected president — finally fulfilling a lifelong dream in what has, been, yes, a long life — I assumed that Biden’s “bridge” talk was for real, that ridding the country of Trump would be accomplishment enough for anyone and that Biden would very possibly step aside for the 2024 election and let the kids, meaning someone under the age of 60, have a chance.

AND SO, THE “MEH” REACTION

from Democrats to Biden’s reelection announcement can’t be a surprise. First of all, we’ve known for a while he would run again. He had been dropping hints like DeSantis was dropping poll numbers. And you couldn’t expect much excitement in any case, given that Biden’s approval rating is in the low 40s, which is problematic even in these polarized times. The numbers are nearly as pathetic as Trump’s approval ratings.

As we know, many liberals don’t think Biden is progressive enough. And, yes, Biden does stumble over his lines, and even though he has been stumbling over lines for his entire political career, it looks worse when Biden rarely meets the press and when

Republicans continue to use age as a principal weapon against him.

I assume you heard GOP candidate Nikki Haley’s prediction that Biden would die — yes, she openly speculated he would die before his term would be up — in a declaration you’d expect from, I don’t know, someone named Donald Trump or, even more likely, Donald Trump Jr.

But this was Haley, the former South Carolina governor, who figured to run in the moderate-for-a-Republican lane of the GOP primary. She told Fox News that a vote for Biden was really a vote for Kamala Harris because, she said, “the idea that [Biden] would make it until 86 years old is not something that I think is likely.”

Is she right? If Biden wins, does that mean VP Harris — whose poll numbers are worse than Biden’s and Trump’s — is a lock to be president? I put Biden’s birthdate into the Social Security Administration life-expectancy calculator, which spit out these numbers: A male currently aged 80 years and five months, like Biden, can expect to live until he’s 89. I admit that as a 70-something I worry about Biden’s age, but I worry more about a candidate who’s running her own death panel.

Look, Biden was nominated the first time — after a slow start, finally moving past Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren and Pete Buttigieg and Harris and the rest of the Democratic gang — because a majority of Democratic voters believed Biden had the best chance of beating Trump.

And it worked. It was everything else that didn’t work.

We know about the Trump base — the MAGA Republicans, the cultists who really believe, and don’t simply tell pollsters they believe, that the 2020 election was rigged. These are the same people who can watch Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell and the Pillow Guy and Lauren Boebert and Tina Peters and say to themselves, yeah, they sound reasonable.

The Republican Party may well be nominating Trump, who has lost the popular vote twice.

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE REST OF the Republicans? And I don’t mean the Never Trumpers. I’m talking about those who have stuck with the Republican Party but who don’t wear MAGA hats.

If Republicans had voted to convict Trump in his second impeachment trial, coming after the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol that Trump surely encouraged — again, if you don’t believe me, try Mitch McConnell — then Trump would have been ineligible to run for president again. Speaking of convictions, Trump is now facing a civil suit based on an allegation that he raped journalist E. Jean Carroll. Trump has taken to social media to call the trial a “made up SCAM,” which caused the judge to call out Trump and Trump’s lawyer. He has already been indicted, of course, by the Manhattan DA and may well be indicted by DOJ Special Counsel Jack Smith — Mike Pence just sat for five hours with a grand jury, presumably testifying about Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election — and by another grand jury in Georgia.

And what does Trump do? He offers up little hint of a future, only of a plan for retribution against those who refuse to say he had been cheated the last time. At a campaign stop Thursday night in New Hampshire, Trump actually embraced a Jan. 6 rioter who spent two months in jail for her role at the Capitol and who has called for Pence to be executed. And yet. And yet.

Still, he is defended by lawmakers, and

not just Marjorie Taylor Greene. Onethird of Florida’s GOP congressional delegation hasn’t even waited for DeSantis to officially announce before endorsing the dark prince of Mar-a-Lago. DeSantis is now begging the rest of his state’s delegation to hold off.

What could Trump do to discourage Republicans? We know the Trumpism that he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not lose a vote. But what is a mere shooting compared to Trump’s top-secret document fiasco? Or how about the repulsive sight of Trump opening campaign events featuring a video of the so-called J6 chorus, made up of Jan. 6 rioters serving in prison, rioters whom Trump calls patriots? We could go on. Or we could just put in our own perfect phone call to Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

HERE’S WHERE THE FEAR COMES in. If Trump were to lose in a GOP primary, the likely guess is that his MAGA voters would stay home in the general election, meaning Biden would obviously win.

What would the Republican Party do if Trump were nominated and was beaten once more? Could it separate from him at last? It’s not just Trump’s issues we’re talking about here. In an article in The Atlantic called “The Coming Biden Blowout,” David Frum, a longtime Never Trumper, describes the Republican Party’s problems in presidential elections. You’d have to be 36, he writes, to have participated in a presidential election in

which the Republican candidate won the popular vote. You have to be 52 to have participated in two such elections.

And all those elections came before Trump’s Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and before a host of Republicanled states rushed to basically ban abortion altogether. We saw what happened in the 2022 midterms.

But now the Republican Party may well be nominating Trump, who has lost the popular vote twice. And if not Trump, maybe culture warrior DeSantis, who thinks he can win over the country by beating up on immigrants, drag queens and Mickey Mouse.

We know what Biden will do. He’s already doing it, sticking as close to the Rose Garden as possible and sticking just as close to the plan, in which he says, as he did the other day, that the very future of democracy is at stake and that “MAGA extremists are lining up to take on those bedrock freedoms, cutting Social Security that you paid for your entire life … dictating what health-care decisions women can make, banning books, and telling people who they can love.”

We’ve seen this movie before. But as you expect from Hollywood these days, it looks like we’re headed for a sequel.

Joe Biden

Donald Trump

BY THE EDITORS AT ANDREWS MCMEEL

Continuing crisis

Angel Footman, 23, a teacher at Griffin Middle School in Tallahassee, Florida, was arrested on April 7 and charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor, the New York Post reported. The charges came after school administrators learned Footman was allegedly hosting violent brawls between students in her classroom. Naturally, she set down rules: no recordings, and no pulling hair. No screaming (draws attention). Fights must be limited to 30 seconds each. However, several sixthgrade girls alerted administrators, and video turned up showing Footman at her desk while students fought each other. She’s scheduled for arraignment in May.

Bright idea

Drivers along Interstate 5 near Eugene, Oregon, were startled on April 11 to see $100 bills floating through the air, Fox News reported. In fact, many cars stopped along the highway to grab the loot. When the Oregon State Police tracked down the source, it was Colin Davis McCarthy, who told them he’d been throwing the money out of his car to “bless others.” He said he thought he’d dispersed around $200,000. The OSP later revealed that McCarthy’s family had been in touch; he had depleted a shared family bank account for his Robin Hood moment.

Sounds like a joke

Northern Railway in England has made a specific appeal to its riders: Please stop watching porn on the train. The Mirror reported that Northern provides “Friendly Wi-fi,” which meets (apparently the bare) minimum filtering standards. Tricia Williams, chief operating officer, said people should remember that “some content is not suitable for everyone to see or hear — particularly children.” While the company understands that the ride may be “the first opportunity to view content,” commuters should “wait until you get home.”

Bad judgment?

Parents of students at Desert Hills Middle School in Kennewick, Washington, are questioning the thinking behind a school assembly activity that took place before spring break, YakTriNews reported. The game involved a large piece of clear Plexiglas with stripes of whipped cream sprayed on both sides; teams of students and staff competed to see who could lick the cream off both sides at the same time, making it appear as if the two people were kissing. District Superintendent Dr. Traci Pierce sent a letter to parents on April 12, which assured them that “The content of a video being shared on social media is highly concerning” and the activity “does not reflect the high standards we hold for our staff members.” An investigation is underway.

ANTHONY GUGLIELMI, CHIEF OF COMMUNICATIONS FOR THE Secret Service, told CNN on April 18 that a toddler was able to breach the fence around the White House, setting off security alarms. The “curious young visitor” crawled through the fence posts on the north side and was quickly apprehended by Secret Service police officers, who reunited him with his parents. Perhaps he’s considering a bid for 2052.
