Actor, scholar and storyteller Becky Stone portrayed legendary performer, civil rights activist and World War II spy Josephine Baker in the Division 1 Courtroom at the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum on Feb. 8. Stone’s performance was one of seven stops throughout the state as part of the Colorado Humanities’ Black History Live! tour. Following her performance, Stone took questions from audience members, first as Baker and then as herself. Stone has also performed as Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks and Maya Angelou.

COMMITTEE OKS BILL TO SAVE RENTERS MONEY ON APPLICATIONS

The Colorado Legislature’s House Business Affairs & Labor Committee has reviewed a bill, known as the Portable Screening Report for Residential Leases, which would save Coloradans money on rental applications. HB23-1099 passed in committee 7-3 on Feb. 8.

Co-sponsor Rep. Stephanie Vigil (D-Colorado Springs) noted that rental application fees average $40 per adult, have doubled in the past few decades and are expected to rise. Her co-sponsor, Mike Weissman (D-Aurora) said that tenants may apply for dozens of housing options, adding up to hundreds of dollars. By letting people reuse documents for a limited time, renters have more money for rent, deposits and other expenses.

HB23-1099 builds off the Rental Application Fairness Act (which Colorado Democrats passed in 2019) by allowing prospective renters to reuse a rental application screening report for up to 30 days without paying additional fees. Under this bill, a landlord must return an application for the potential tenant to reuse (if the application is denied) and provide a notice of the applicant’s right to dispute the report’s accuracy.

Proponents say it would also save time and effort for rental property owners.

The bill still has to pass the House, and the earliest it could reach the Colorado Senate is likely the week of Feb. 20.

PPLD TO TEST LOCATIONS FOR METH CONTAMINATION

Pikes Peak Library District has decided to limit the scope of its methamphetamine testing in library bathrooms to the three branches with the heaviest traffic — East Library, Library 21c and Penrose Library, according to a release sent by Denise Abbott, PPLD’s director of public relations and marketing.

PPLD originally said in January that it would test all of its

2424 GOG PLAN ADVANCES

A year after being rejected by City Council, a proposal for a mixed-use development at 2424 Garden of the Gods Road is back in play. The city Planning Commission on Feb. 8 approved developer 2424 GOTG LLC’s request for rezoning and a concept plan for a project that would include commercial space, apartments and townhomes. The vote was 6-3.

2424 GOTG LCC scaled down its proposal for the parcel, reducing to 320 the number of residential units it wants to build. In the new concept plan, some of the units will be townhomes rather than apartments. The proposal now automatically goes to City Council.

The original proposal, approved by the Planning Commission in March 2021, included 420 residential units. City Council OK’d the plan on first reading, but after hearing input from neighbors, overturned the commission’s decision on Aug. 21, 2021.

More than 200 neighbors asked to speak at the Feb. 8 hearing, expressing concerns about traffic congestion, evacuation safety, threats to bighorn sheep and more. A challenge in District Court by the developer to overturn Council’s 2021 decision to reject the rezoning request is still pending. — JD

53 public bathrooms for meth contamination, as a “proactive action to ensure the safety and well-being of patrons and staff” and because of recent contamination at three Colorado public libraries. But after consulting with El Paso County Public Health and other libraries that have done contamination assessments, PPLD decided to scale down its testing, the statement says.

PPLD is working with KEMWest Inc., and test results are expected by mid-February. All libraries are currently open and remain “safe to visit,” the release says. — GAJ

Matter of Record

The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has launched a new respiratory disease data dashboard that includes statewide data and resources for COVID, influenza and RSV in one place. Data will be updated on Wednesdays, October to May. El Paso County continues to provide local data in separate COVID and flu dashboards.

Colorado Springs Airport announced last week that Southwest Airlines will begin nonstop daily service to Long Beach, California, starting July 11. The flights, in Boeing 737 aircraft, will depart the Springs at 4:30 p.m., with return flights from Long Beach departing at 4:30 p.m.

El Paso County Public Health has been recognized by the National Association of County and City Health Officials for its ability to plan for, respond to, and recover from public health emergencies. The department demonstrated these capabilities by meeting the comprehensive preparedness benchmarks required by Project Public Health Ready, a partnership between NACCHO and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The Council of Neighbors and Organizations, the city-sponsored organization that aims to get residents more involved with their communities, is accepting applications for its free, 10-week Neighborhood University course until Feb. 24. Residents can learn more and apply at cscono. org/neighborhood-u.

CONFLICT Farmed

Sheriff’s Office under fire for handling of Black rancher’s racial harassment complaints

BY GRETA ANDERSON JOHNS | gajohns@sixty35media.org

THE ARREST OF A BLACK RANCHER based in Yoder — Courtney Wayne Mallery — has sparked discussions about how the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office can repair its relationships both with the Mallery family and the broader Black community.

We reported last week that Mallery — who previously alleged that since they bought the ranch in 2020, his family has been repeatedly harassed and their farm vandalized by white neighbors and a sheriff’s deputy — was taken into EPSO custody. His Feb. 6 arrest led to outrage on social media, with commenters accusing EPSO of racism, and coverage by national news outlets.

The Rocky Mountain NAACP has been out in support of the Mallerys, and President Portia Prescott said it would work to get the Mallerys legal representation. The organization put out a statement on Feb. 8 demanding “a full, fair, and transparent investigation” of the allegations. The statement pointed out that because the Black community makes up only about 6 percent of El Paso County’s population, the Mallerys live in “isolation.”

“We stand by these hardworking landowners and believe that everyone should be allowed to pursue their life’s work and earn a living without fear of harassment, intimidation, or discrimination,” the statement says. “All members of the community are entitled to police protection and fair treatment by the police, regardless of race.”

MALLERY

AND HIS WIFE NICOLE WERE THE

subject of a January article by the Ark Republic news site in which they said white neighbors were killing their livestock and harassing them on their farm, Freedom Acres Ranch, in an effort to remove them from their property. In the same article, the Mallerys also accused EPCSO Sergeant Ray Gerhart, of the Rural Enforcement and Outreach Unit, of being “complicit in the concerted effort to move his family off of their land, and even participates in the ongoing racialized actions.”

The Mallerys have also disputed EPSO’s characterization of its response to their calls for help.

In a Feb. 2 statement, EPSO said it has “responded to over 170 calls for service” from or involving the Mallerys and investigated 19 complaints against the sheriff’s office from or involving the Mallerys, each of which it claims “were individually and thoroughly investigated.”

But Ark Republic ’s January article states that Gerhart “has yet to take a police report from the Mallerys for their numerous complaints.”

The situation came to a head on Feb. 6, when Courtney Mallery was arrested for felony stalking, tampering with a utility meter (a misdemeanor) and theft under $50 (a petty offense), Magistrate Judge Deborah Pearson said during a

Feb. 7 advisement hearing. Nicole Mallery was also previously arrested and pleaded guilty in 2022 to charges of assaulting a police officer and false reporting, according to our news partner KKTV 11 News, which obtained arrest affidavits and other court records. (All three arrest affidavits obtained were written by Gerhart.)

During Courtney Mallery’s hearing, his public defender argued that his “case seems more like a neighborhood dispute than stalking” and “more like a civil case than a criminal case.” When Pearson granted Courtney Mallery bond, she mentioned two people that he was ordered not to have contact with via a mandatory protection order. One of them is the alleged stalking victim and neighbor of Courtney Mallery — his arrest affidavit accuses him of setting up cameras with a view of her home.

There were also questionable changes around Courtney Mallery’s bail.

A Colorado State Patrol trooper originally told Nicole Mallery during her husband’s arrest that he would be held at $2,000 bail, consistent with his arrest warrant, a CSP spokesperson confirmed. But that was changed to no bond upon his booking to El Paso County jail.

Then, after one night in custody, Pearson set his bail at $6,000 — three times the amount that prosecutors had asked for — stating she was “concerned about the risk to the community and the victim.”

We’ve tried to reach the Mallerys via their Instagram account and a phone number provided through a message, but have not been able to interview them.

FOR ITS PART, EPSO HAS “VEHEMENTLY”

denied allegations that its officers were involved in racial discrimination.

The attention on the Mallerys’ case prompted Sheriff Joe Roybal to send a letter on Feb. 6 to Willie Breazell, co-founder of the Black and Latino Leadership Coalition of Colorado Springs and former leader of the local NAACP, asking Breazell to set up a meeting between the Mallerys and EPSO officials. The letter asked if Breazell would also facilitate a panel with “diverse representation” to address the Mallerys’ and broader community’s concerns about attacks against Black farmers in eastern El Paso County.

Breazell tells Sixty35 he is concerned the situation could escalate into violence because of inflamed online rhetoric. Lt. Deborah Mynatt, an EPSO public information officer, says the office has “received many threats” to their public email addresses and phone lines in response to the Mallerys’ allegations.

“If I can help [Roybal] defuse the situation, then I’m willing to do that,” Breazell says. “I think it’s important that we try to figure out how to resolve this, rather than just let it keep festering.

“There’s enough radical, militia kind of guys around our country right now, that this could turn real nasty, real fast.”

Eric Carnell, president of the BLLC who is also an EPSO commander, says he wishes organizations like his had been notified or aware of the Mallerys’ situation earlier. It’s partially on them — and not only the sheriff, he argues — to help build bridges and start dialogue that would ease tensions.

“If we got wind of that, and other organizations throughout the community that tout themselves as trying to provide a safer and a better place for ourselves and our kids to live, shame on us,” Carnell says. “We should have been [working] in partnership with the sheriff’s office and other community leaders to try to address some of this stuff.”

Carnell says the number of calls EPSO has gotten involving the Mallerys in “just a two-year time frame,” is “alarming for any community.”

The proposed panel discussion, should it happen, may either be public or private depending on the preferences of those involved, Mynatt says. EPSO will keep the community updated on the details, she says. Carnell adds that he is attempting to make connections with any organizations or individuals in Yoder and rural El Paso County to determine who should be at the table.

COLORADO SPRINGS

AFFILIATIONS? Alarming A

School District 11 grandparent was alarmed by a recent meeting held by the conservative education activist group Moms for Liberty – El Paso County. Three elected officials attended the meeting and signed pledges in support of the group, which has expressed anti-LGBTQ views.

Jill Davis, 60, a local podcaster and selfidentified “ex-conservative” who grew up and raised her family in the Springs, says she attended the Jan. 31 meeting at Valley Hi Golf Course to learn more about M4L. Davis saw a flyer for the meeting, encouraging people to “come get involved and see what is going on in the area school districts,” which was advertised on the M4L chapter’s website.

As we’ve previously reported, the chapter has pushed to remove library books with LGBTQ themes (which it calls “LGBTQ indoctrination”) from local schools, expressed anti-teachers union views and has been active in several area districts where conservative-majority boards of education were elected in November 2021.

It was primarily the group’s anti-LGBTQ rhetoric that activated Davis, she says — her granddaughter in D11 is transgender.

“I looked up Moms for Liberty, knew I would never agree with them, but wanted to hear what they had to say,” Davis tells Sixty35. “All I care about is my grandkid, and a group of children who are growing up in these schools who have the right to be who they are.”

And she was troubled to see that two local Republican state house representatives —

Rep. Scott Bottoms of District 15 and Rep. Ken DeGraff of District 22 — would be speaking. DeGraff is Davis’ representative.

BUT DAVIS DIDN’T LAST THE WHOLE meeting. Not because she left — but because she was spotted by M4L members as she recorded and took notes. She’d also addressed a handful of questions to Bottoms, DeGraff and those presenting for the group.

Darcy Schoening, chapter co-chair, accused Davis of being a “plant,” Davis says, and Schoening reiterated the accusation in a written statement to Sixty35. Schoening refused an interview with us about the encounter.

Schoening says she removed Davis “because she is a far left progressive operative who was there to take notes for the opposition,” and

claims Davis “actively heckled” speakers and exhibited “antagonizing and wildly inappropriate behavior.” M4L is “a private group who helps kids,” Schoening claims.

“I don’t show up at liberal meetings or drag queen shows and expect the groups to let me record them while I heckle the members,” she claims in her statement.

But nowhere in the audio recording — which Davis shared with Sixty35 — can she be heard “heckling” while people are speaking. Davis does ask questions of Bottoms, DeGraff and an M4L speaker. For example, she asks for the representatives’ campaign web addresses so she can learn more about their political positions, and what exactly M4L means when it says it has “a lead in a [school] district.”

The recording does, however, stop before the confrontation between Schoening and Davis, where she was asked to leave, refusing at first. Schoening ultimately got a Valley Hi manager to ask Davis to leave, after which she did.

It’s unclear what “heckling” Schoening heard — she ignored our question about what exactly Davis said to prompt the removal.

AT LEAST ONE OTHER PERSON AT the meeting — El Paso County Commissioner Longinos Gonzalez, Jr., who represents District 4 and is running for mayor of Colorado Springs — says he remembers “some questions,” then noticed a “little disruption” and a conversation

on the side of the room. Gonzalez was another elected official Davis was surprised to see in the M4L audience.

Gonzalez, a former middle school teacher in Harrison School District 2, has signed an M4L pledge that states a commitment to the “rights of parents” in education, and he’s written about the importance of parental engagement in schools for The Gazette. “Parental rights” is a term coined by conservatives to mean parents’ assertion of control over what’s taught in public education, often overriding the decisions and expertise of school staff.

When we asked about his alignment with the group, given its anti-LGBTQ history in local school districts, Gonzalez says the Jan. 31 meeting was the first he’d attended and claims he wasn’t aware of their background. We sent him Sixty35’s coverage of M4L’s efforts to remove books — as he requested — and he ignored our question about whether he would now disavow the group. (He had also been tagged in, and seen, a Facebook post outlining the group’s background before the meeting.)

Bottoms and DeGraff also signed the M4L pledge at the Jan. 31 meeting. There, Bottoms claimed that “parents who don’t pay attention” to their kids’ school experience could fail to see that their children are being harmed by school staff.

“[Parents] assume that, ‘Those administrators really aren’t trying to do some-

thing to our kids; they’re just people like us, right? That counselor’s not really trying to harm our child; they’re just like us. That teacher wouldn’t teach that stuff; they’re just like us,’” Bottoms said.

While Bottoms didn’t respond to our request for comment, DeGraff sent a written statement saying it was important to secure “the proper role of parents in representing the best interests of a child until they are able to do so on their own.” He ignored our question about affiliating with M4L given its history of anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and actions.

At the meeting, DeGraff said he’d soon be introducing a bill in the Colorado General Assembly to provide tax credits to parents who pull their children out of public school and put them in private school, to compensate for private school tuition.

Davis says it was concerning — “the fact that there were two House district representatives there, and someone who’s running for mayor, who was there and supportive.”

“They weren’t there in opposition,” she says. “I don’t think people realize how bad this is — I certainly did not until I showed up and watched them in action.”

At its next chapter meeting on Feb. 28, also at Valley Hi, M4L plans to have more House representatives speak and says it has invited all Colorado Springs City Council and mayoral candidates.

SHELTER A question of

SHORT BY THOUSANDS OF AFFORDABLE

housing units, the city of Colorado Springs has tackled the need through various means. Those include allowing accessory dwelling units — homes built on the same lots as existing single-family homes — higher-density development and the approval of thousands of apartments across the city, despite neighborhood opposition in some cases.

And yet, the city remains short on housing, so much so that developers have optioned or bought land outside city limits in hopes of annexing it. But in some cases, those hopes have been dashed by a recent City Council action to limit annexations — and access to city water — to land that has at least 25 percent of its borders contiguous to city limits, along with requirements the city have a certain level of water available. (A final vote was to take place Feb. 14 on the water rule.)

Tom Strand: “Creating Federal, State, and local (both gov and private) funds, bonds, loans and grants, for affordable housing is absolutely essential. We have set an ambitious 1,000 unit per year goal. We need to triple that goal to meet the need. I would seek more urban renewal status funding; work with utilities to lower connecting fees; and encourage builders and developers to build smaller (tiny home concept) single family homes and apartments.”

Mayoral candidates offer ideas to solve the city’s housing shortage

Meantime, rents have soared to range from $1,100 to $1,800 a month, on average, depending on location within the city.

Meantime, rents have soared to range from

Rising housing costs and the shortage have been blamed, in part, for Colorado Springs being passed over for the permanent headquarters of U.S. Space Command. Huntsville, Alabama, was chosen instead, though lawmakers from the local to federal level are trying to reverse that decision.

Thus, the housing crisis will be on the plate of the city’s next mayor, which is why Sixty35 news magazine asked the 12 candidates seeking to succeed Mayor John Suthers in the April 4 city election for their ideas.

Their written responses, in reverse alphabetical order:

Wayne Williams: “As Chairman of the Colorado Springs Utilities Board, I worked to establish a fund to cover utility connection fees for affordable and attainable housing to help encourage construction by nonprofits and other community partners. On City Council, I worked with others to establish a program to rebate sales tax for attainable housing. As mayor, I will continue to work with community partners to incentivize a mix of both market-rate and affordable units.”

John Tiegen: “I am not a politician, making a living on taxpayer dollars while ignoring the community’s needs. I am here to take away the control of the few select departments and bring true power back to the people. Power to the community on how the city is governed and protected, how the tax dollars are spent and power for the people to decide what is best for them and their family.... My objective is that we all unite to make the change and bring our city together.”

Kallan Reece Rodebaugh: estly priced housing by providing incentives and sub-

Kallan Reece Rodebaugh: “Increase the supply of modestly priced housing by providing incentives and subsidies to developers for construction of apartments and dwellings. Establish local zoning policies that limit higher-end development and prioritize affordable housing.”

Yemi Mobolade: “Regardless of income, race, age, gender, or ability, every Colorado Springs resident deserves a safe and affordable place to live. Through comprehensive plans and policies, and by following proven best practices, I will encourage diverse housing options, mixed-use building types, redevelopment, and promote other innovative housing efforts. My plan includes expanding existing tax rebate incentives to affordable housing projects.... In addition, I will create a ‘missing middle housing fund’ supported by foundations, philanthropy and businesses, to reward grants to developers and manufacturers who innovatively reduce the cost of building homes.”

Lastly, he calls for Colorado Springs Utilities to pursue renters who leave unpaid utility bills behind, rather than forcing the property owner to pay,

“since a lot of landlords are paycheck-topaycheck people.”

Lawrence Martinez: “If you build a 5 million dollar apartment building and charge 4 thousand dollars a month and then become a billion dollar company. You will provide our great citizen’s [sic] affordable housing by building an 800 hundred dollar a month apartment complex or redeveloped older apartment units, if not find another place to get rich. Our children of Colorado Springs have no place to live developers have made sure of this by not building apartment complexes in the last ten years so as to jack up rent....”

Longinos Gonzalez Jr.: “Streamlining regulations that result in more efficient and timely permitting and approvals will reduce costs to new projects. While a [county] commissioner working with our County Housing Authority, we were able to effectively use private activity bonds and matching grants to fund new affordable housing and I will pursue and expand similar proposals within the city.... Promoting smart growth decisions within the city will also reduce infrastructure costs associated with new developments....”

Darryl Glenn: “In my opinion, the government cannot solve the affordable housing crisis nor should it attempt to implement policies that interfere with property rights. The government has an important role in administering and enforcing safety standards for housing. However, when it comes to affordability, the government’s role should be limited and constantly monitored to avoid infringing upon private property rights. I also believe that

F ums

it’s not the government’s job to use taxpayer funding to artificially influence the affordable housing market. Housing affordability within any community is not a fundamental right.”

Andrew Dalby: “I have six children who are starting to become adults. I am extremely concerned about young people’s ability to afford a reasonable living standard. The median home price is half a million dollars, but the average annual wage is only around $50,000. Asking people in their 20s and 30s to save three or four years’ annual gross income, without spending a dime to live on, just to make a down payment leads to serious societal problems. The American dream should not be an unrealistic fantasy. [But] the law of supply and demand is an unavoidable fact.... I have seen firsthand how arbitrary and capricious regulations can make a development project’s costs balloon.”

Sallie Clark: “My strategy includes citizen engagement and partnerships to create a community housing plan. Our affordable housing plan will ensure people can access housing for less than 30% of household income. I will collaborate with local experts, state and federal agencies ... and housing advocacy nonprofits.... Strategies: identify properties available for affordable housing ventures; fast track planning/zoning approvals; reduce regulatory burdens; provide financial assistance as available; reducing, deferring, off-setting, or waiving development fees; establishing a land banking program to ensure availability of land for development; consider exemptions for property tax or sales and use taxes....”

IT’S A FRIGID DAY IN EARLY FEBRUARY JUST above 9,000 feet, in Divide on the Double Eagle Ranch. That’s a nearly 1,000-acre historic, privately owned former farmland that now exists under the protection of Palmer Land Conservancy — meaning it will never be developed into housing tracts, and instead left as wild grassland in perpetuity.

The sprawling ranch abuts Highway 24 to the north, neighboring ranches to the east, a stretch of densely wooded Pike National Forest as it rounds southeast, then Elk Valley Estates to the south, and Hayden Divide County Park, the Teller County Sheriff’s Office and Teller County Regional Animal Shelter to the West. It’s gorgeous land, directly anchored in its community, with a view of Pikes Peak just over its hill rise.

PBJ Cattle Company raises a modest herd of cattle on the Double Eagle. Their silhouettes are often visible from the roadway below as they graze across the property’s central pasture. But passing motorists have increasingly had their gazes drawn to something else — a much shaggier animal with a thick underskirt of hair and modest horns that goalpost into sharp points. These would be PBJ’s several dozen yaks, whose species hails from the high Himalayan mountains across the world. Beautiful, commanding creatures, long ago domesticated and still providing vital services as pack animals who also provide fiber for clothing and milk and meat for sustenance in a harsh climate.

gazes. They approach ranch manager Jessica Burton delib-

jump a few feet back, moving surprisingly fast for their

But here in this other high-altitude habitat, the yaks saunter about, generally clustered together, chewing on their winter hay feed, and holding soft, calm, seemingly curious gazes. They approach ranch manager Jessica Burton deliberately, with cautious hesitation at the last moment before they close in on a bite of a nutrient cake from her hand, then quickly back off to chew it; if she shifts too suddenly they jump a few feet back, moving surprisingly fast for their bulky size, which under all that hair is actually only around half the size of a common beef cow.

Burton, and her father Bob, who’s helped oversee the Double Eagle for the past two decades, having retired from firefighting, have established an easy rapport with their animals. They follow the more safe and humane, lower-stress practices established by world-renowned animal behaviorist and livestock expert Temple Grandin, whom Jessica deeply admires. All the farm’s handling facilities were designed around Grandin’s blueprints.

Jessica makes it a point to spend time among the animals so they get used to her, even her side-by-side vehicle we’ve rolled up in. One yak gets warmly acquainted with the vehicle’s steering wheel before Jessica gently shoos him away. A snack time like this becomes an easy routine, interrupted next by an overly affectionate cow named Pumpkin who clings to Jessica’s side like a faithful farm dog, nuzzling her and welcoming hugs and even a kiss on her snout. She even lets me snuggle her as she repeatedly crowds my camera lens and photobombs my pics of the nearby yaks. I help hand out cakes to the animals as they get more comfortable with me and saunter over, before Bob appears on his own ATV to say a brief hello. He hands his puffy gloves off to his daughter, whose own fingers have grown cold in the brisk wind, and looks out over this small yak herd, joined by a small band of cows, including some striking longhorns.

“This is the Bahamas to them, up here,” he says, proudly noting how they’re all mountain-born and raised here. This place that we humans find brutally cold at times, bundling up to be out in it, these animals adore. In fact, they need it to survive, as they’re so high-altitude adapted that they can’t live in the heat at low elevations in warm seasons. Yaks’ lack of sweat glands increases their

Divide herd uniquely adapted to thrive at high altitude. But what do they taste like?

cold hardiness, as does a thicker subcutaneous fat layer, and all their thick hair. Even their organs are larger than cows’, like lungs that have more than twice the capacity, which enable better oxygen utilization.

Part of Bob’s point being, as if I couldn’t clearly see it myself, that these animals are happy. Compared to their tragic counterparts confined to dense corporate feedlots elsewhere across America, these animals are living a splendid life. Even if it’s one destined for our dinner plates. PBJ offers a model of how holistically ecological ranching should be done, for a better experience and end product.

And though they do produce grass-finished and grain-finished beef items, I’m visiting them to nerd-out on the hairy ones, to yak about their yak, which I’d recently discovered at a Woodland Park Food truck. I wanted to know everything, and was quite pleased by this literal field trip.

JESSICA IS 26, WITH A WIDE SMILE AND light brown hair cascading from under a tan Western hat past a PBJ-logo’d jacket, toward muddy cowboy boots. She stands nearly as tall as Bob, who’s also in denim jeans but a branded blue parka, rubber ditch boots and lighter cowboy hat. I pose a photo of the two of them in some yellowed, snowy grass, with cows and yaks slowly meandering off over a hilltop behind them. Bob has to take off to prepare for a private dinner, a sampling of some yak sliders being made at a nearby restaurant that’s considering carrying the product. Jessica and I con-

tinue an earlier phone conversation where she graciously answered my 101 questions about yak, and how PBJ came about.

What I’ve learned, which I’m condensing here for brevity, is that she’s got nearly seven years of relevant schooling, which includes earning a Bachelor of Animal Science and Agri-Business Economics from West Texas A&M University. She’s studied animal behavior and meat science, toured the Big Ag industry yards and done hands-on learning about animal reproduction and all the necessary ranching skills. She says she’s also been educated on how to take care of the land, even doing multiple studies of the Double Eagle for class assignments. “When you’re a cattle rancher, you’re also a grass farmer,” she says. “We’re caretakers of the land.” (It’s worth mentioning that she began working on the ranch with her dad when she was just 4 years old.)

Taking care of the land partly means taking care of the animals on it. They don’t force breeding on them, allowing natural pregnancies to happen (versus commercial outfits that re-impregnate as early as three weeks after birth, she says). “We’re hands off unless we have to intervene for safety,” she says. (Fun fact: She’s never actually witnessed a yak birth because the animals separate themselves off from the herd days prior and go deep into the trees to birth alone.)

The animals too help the land, not just through fertilizing it with their manure, but yaks are similar to goats in that they’re great weed eaters. Jessica says cows have “a picky palate,” but yaks genetically/evolutionarily grew accustomed to

whatever Mongolia and its neighboring areas could provide. So after the cows have grazed down much of the sweet, fresh spring grass, the yaks will come in behind them as a further clean-up crew and eat down the other grasses, flowers and weeds and whatever’s left. “They’re great for land biodiversity,” she says, noting they help with her effort to weed out non-native species. What’s more, PBJ claims that the slower-growing high-altitude grass takes in more nutrients, which in turn enter the animals’ bodies once consumed, contributing to superior protein formation.

Though she and Bob had been running cattle on the ranch since 2009, it wasn’t until the COVID pandemic that the opportunity arose to realize a dream they’d been pondering for a decade. They hadn’t been selling anything retail to the town, but noticed a shortage of ground beef in Teller County as one of the pandemic problems — and steak prices had risen too. They felt they could come to market to meet a need, and help take care of the community, by offering a sustainably farmed, healthier food item for below the average USDA-recommended price. (You can still buy a pound of ground yak direct from them for $10, whereas market rates can hit as much as $15 and above.) So in mid-2020, PBJ began selling both ground beef and yak; then in 2022 they added retail steak sales.

They take their animals to slaughter in Westcliffe, at Westcliffe Meats. And they want their customers to know that their all-natural ground meats

are from single animals, not a co-mingling from multiple animals, as is common with commercial products. They also include primal cuts in the grind.

THOUGH I’LL BE TASTING FOR myself later, I ask Jessica to describe yak to me in her words. “I tell people that yak is juicy, tender, delicate and has a sweet flavor,” she says, qualifying that it’s “not overbearingly sweet, just a hint.” She tells folks that unlike elk, for example, yak meat is not gamey. She seems to bristle at a negative connotation to that, drawing her comparison back to the sweetness.

As with yaks being roughly half the size of a cow by weight, their steak cuts tend to be roughly half the size, too. “But they don’t shrink down like beef tends to on the grill,” she says. “They literally hold their shape on the grill, and there’s not much runoff because there’s so little fat.” That holds true even with meat ground to their 80-20 ratio. She says yak makes an excellent meatloaf, not requiring the added sugar that most recipes call for, due to its inherent sweetness.

I seek input from some other folks in the culinary realm, and find some roundabout confirmation of Jessica’s descriptors.

Around six years ago, chef David Cook — now co-owner of Gather Food Studio — placed a couple yak dishes on one of his seasonal menus at The Wobbly Olive. He served both a burger and a yak shepherd’s pie. He recalls being amazed by its texture considering its leanness, saying it retained a tender but firm mouthfeel, and didn’t slack out as much as beef does, holding its form better. “It’s the opposite of what you’d expect given the really low fat content,” he says.

Ranch Foods Direct owner/operator and food activist Mike Callicrate stocks PBJ Cattle Co.’s ground yak meat at both his retail locations in Colorado Springs. He says he sells a fair amount of it. “It’s right in line with our mission to connect producers to consumers,” he says, “to improve their income as well as the consumers’ quality of food.”

For his part, as a beef rancher, he thinks the average person wouldn’t immediately notice the difference between beef and yak, other than the yak’s leanness, which he says could be mistaken for bison. Personally, he finds yak useful in recipes like spaghetti sauce, where you don’t want a lot of extra oils from a fattier meat like beef. “If you have any recipe that calls for lean meat, yak’s a good choice.”

Yak in the back

I first discovered PBJ Cattle Co. thanks to Margaret’s Munchies, an unassuming food trailer hidden just off Highway 24, in a parking lot behind Woodland Park’s Historic Ute Inn. There’s no highway visibility, other than a sandwich board on the sidewalk that at least captures pedestrian attention as they saunter by, which is how we found the trailer and met owner Margaret Burrous.

A Guffey resident, she’s been catering for around seven years but only launched this food cart around a year and a half ago. She earned a reputation for her baked goods around Teller County thanks to a display at Florissant’s Outpost Feed and Ranch Supply. I can attest that those sweets are outstanding, based on our purchase of her pistachio brown butter cookies (something like a Mexican wedding cookie meets a tea cake cookie, soft, chewy, elegant); chocolate-pecan cookies with whiskey icing (reminiscent of German Lebkuchen cookies, airy); and her Snickersstyle brownie (a firm chocolate bark-like top, thick, homemade nougat and caramel layers and a brownie bottom — huge and simply epic).

Though her current bestseller is a flat-top-seared Monte Cristo sandwich (she doesn’t use a fryer), and she also does a mean pork green chile, she’s quickly becoming known for her burgers and steak sandwiches, plus specials like a yak meatloaf (which I miss trying). She gives customers a choice between PBJ’s yak or beef on a number of items, from topping on green chile fries, to a basic hamburger or cheeseburger or bacon cheeseburger, or something called the Green Chile Monster: a patty of either meat that’s folded into a tortilla shell, which gets an egg on top, and green chile-covered steak friends around it, garnished with shredded cheese and sour cream. I do not order this, in favor of trying the yak more plainly. So I order a yak hamburger with basic fixings (lettuce, red onion, tomato and side condiment packets; $14.50 includes chips), and a yak steak sandwich ($15.50, includes fries), which she presents on a hoagie roll with sautéed red and yellow bell peppers and red onions. The burger patty presents plenty juicy and we immediately like the tight, rich texture. We don’t find it a far cry from beef, but decide on the fair bison comparison. It’s a solid burger. The sandwich gives us more to chew on, as a minute steak cut (from sirloin or bottom round), which texturally reminds us of a beef flank steak cut, chewy, grainy and fibrous. It’s notably lean as expected, but not dry, and we definitely perceive a certain sharpness on the back end, not quite gamey, but with a wildtasting finish that very faintly makes me think of the tang on organ meats, but sweeter. It’s honestly a little hard to discern and describe, but the mouth knows something’s different. I could see the addition of a melted cheese, for a cheesesteak presentation, being very welcome, and discuss options with Burrous, based on what she typically melts over her yak burgers. Some customers like Provolone or Pepper Jack, but she thinks Swiss cheese tastes best with yak. I can imagine how the nutty pungency might play well off the yakiness, while softening some of the onion and pepper sharpness.

It’s this initial tasting of the two yak items that makes me want to procure both yak and beef from PBJ for myself to explore more.

Yak vs. Beef: A side-by-side comparison

I return from my farm tour in Divide with a bag of yak and grass-fed beef products for comparing. I’ve selected a filet (a pure expression from the most tender steak cut), a rib eye (holding significant intramuscular fat, called marbling, equating to more flavor) and a pound of ground meat (all the bits, for burgers).

I could cook them at home perfectly proficiently, but what’s the fun in that when I can instead enlist a local chef to ensure a perfect cook and borrow an expert palate for expanded tasting notes? After careful consideration, I reach out to James Africano at The Warehouse. Why? Because he tends to feature more exotic meats on his menus than anyone else locally (currently he’s plating rabbit, pheasant, elk, bison, duck, wild boar and goat); and he worked for years at Ted Turner’s Vermejo Park Ranch in New Mexico that hosts lots of game animals.

When I first call him to invite myself into his kitchen, I ask if he’s familiar with yak. “I’ve dabbled in yak,” he says. “I remember it being beefy and really good.” He recalls serving a yak steak (a rib eye, he thinks) sometime in the mid-’90s at The Warehouse (during his first stint there). But he says “it was a hard sell at the time, but I don’t think that would be a problem today,” in acknowledgment of a somewhat advanced dining populace that’s embraced more exotic meats.

I drop by during prep one afternoon and we convene around the grill. Just by separating the meats onto long plates for

on

The yak steak sandwich at Margaret’s Munchies

a visual inspection, the difference between yak and the beef is clear. The yak’s got much less marbling, for starters, but it’s also deeper in color, more of a purple-tinged crimson (coloring can sometimes speak to dry-aging as well, he notes, but we try not to digress). He sears the steaks simply with pepper and kosher salt and a light touch of virgin olive oil; the burgers get the same minus the oil.

Once on the grill, a visual inspection again shows a clear difference between the products; the yak looks drier and doesn’t take on grill marks like the beef, due to its leanness. While fat drips from the underside of the grass-fed beef burger, none drips from the yak. Neither patty shrinks like commercial grain-finished beef tends to; he suspects that may be due to a lack of a saline injection, which evaporates out during cooking.

Once everything’s cooked, and respectively rested to settle the remaining juices inside for optimal flavor, we first try bites of everything plain, just as they are without any interference from accoutrements. Then we play with some pairings, in search of amplifying flavors in a way one might when designing a menu item.

Firstly, we agree we’d both enjoy everything entirely plain, as the meats alone are exceptional, of clear high quality. For the filet, the beef’s notably more tender, of the melt-in-yourmouth variety, while the yak sets the textural tone of always having more chew to it, but not in any excessive or off-putting way. The yak’s only subtly different, a little richer, a hint sweeter. He preps a classic ragout with bacon and onions reduced in red wine and veal stock and we dredge small forkfuls through it, relishing the salty pop of its deep flavor, which masks the yak’s difference, other than its texture; the meats would practically be interchangeable in this setting.

Next, the rib eyes. The grass-finished beef’s flavor becomes more pronounced (compared to grain-finished beef’s typical corn-fed sweetness), with a faint musky finish on the back of the palate. It’s fabulous, even better with a dash of olive oil and absolutely superlative when Africano presents an Argentinian-style tomatillo-avocado salsa with prominent cilantro and jalapeño notes. The relish’s acid cuts the fat and adds a citric brightness that elevates the grassiness in a good way. The yak, by contrast, chews with a little more fibrousness, heartier and a touch sweeter, and not as spectacular with that salsa, but still immensely delightful with it, solo or with just a touch of olive oil.

On to the burgers, we try two renditions: one more simple/ classic, with lettuce, tomato, white cheddar and bacon, sans ketchup, mustard or mayo, so no sharp condiment influence.

For the second, with the yak specifically in mind, Africano designs something to hit all the flavor senses: pineapple relish (sweetness), shaved raw red onion (biting sharpness), Point Reyes blue cheese (creamy funk) and a peach-honey barbecue sauce (additional sweetness and zesty tartness) I’ve brought along, that I also bought from PBJ, specially made for them locally.

We nibble small bits of each burger sans fixings, noting mostly a textural difference, with the beef a touch crumblier, the yak holding tighter form. The yak again holds a faintly musky note, bison-like, and it maintains an incredible pinkness, not to be mistaken for being too rare; juice that drips onto my plate looks as bright as strawberry coulis on a dessert. (“Cook to temperature, not color,” Bob Burton had told me.) The more classic-style burger is damn good, and the difference between the meats doesn’t prove to be significantly noticeable.

But the yak flavor absolutely explodes with the blue cheese influence on the more experimental burger — a truly inspired combo just shooting from the hip, I must give credit. The cheese’s strong funkiness enhances the yak essence. The sweet adornments (the peach-honey sauce and pineapple) draw out more of the yak’s sweetness, too. Again, it hits all the senses, a perfect mouth hammer, dynamic, layered, complex and elegant, just a tremendous burger.

All in all, we agree the meats performed excellently when run through a variety of paces. I tell Africano this yak burger deserves to be on a menu; it’s too good to keep to ourselves. He says he’s interested in perhaps procuring yak for his menu soon. I feel thoroughly satisfied with the nuances that the side-by-side tasting highlighted, creating a better understanding of yak for me.

Yak nutrition

• Yak is lean, as much as 95 percent fat-free; considered heart-healthy.

• It’s high in Omega 3 and 6 fats (essential fatty acids our bodies don’t naturally produce).

• It has little saturated fat, cholesterol and triglycerides.

• Yak has roughly 40-percent more protein than beef as well as more vitamins and minerals, with less calories.

Yak facts

• Himalayan natives, yaks live at the highest altitude for mammals, venturing higher even than mountain goats. (They have more than double the lung capacity of a common cow.)

• Yaks eat about ⅓ the diet of a typical cow, and are said to be easier on grazing land, making them a more environmentally friendly option.

• Yaks are cold hardy to negative 40 degrees Fahrenheit; living below 6,000 feet in elevation, even during winter, is not optimal. They do not fare well in hot conditions. (They thrive in Divide, at just over 9,000 feet.)

• Domestic yaks, docile typically, are used as sturdy pack animals across the Tibetan Plateau. (Wild yaks are larger, by as much as twice the size; they’re listed as vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, having experienced massive population decline in recent centuries.)

• Tibetan herdsmen drink a high-caloric yak butter and milk black tea, said to be energizing and fortifying (yes, there’s also yak yogurt and cheese).

• Yak hair has a cashmere-like fiber, used in various goods in Tibet, from rope to boots.

• Yaks birth a single calf every other year (whereas cows can give birth every 12-14 months); a newborn yak can run around 25 mph within 15 minutes of birth.

• Yak racing (with a mounted rider) is a sport in several countries, including Tibet, Mongolia, Pakistan and Kazakhstan.

FACING THE MUSIC

Outdoor amphitheater’s opponents organize after losing appeal

BY JEANNE DAVANT | jdavant@sixty35media.org

JED FUQUA BOUGHT HIS HOME IN THE GREYHAWK neighborhood of north Colorado Springs 12 years ago. Fuqua, who has lived in Colorado Springs since he was a child, thought it was going to be the perfect place to raise his family. He was lured by the promise of family-centered amenities at Polaris Pointe: mom-and-pop shops and entertainment within walking distance.

Now, when he looks out his window, he sees earth movers turning dirt for what will be The Sunset amphitheater.

“I sacrificed a lot to move where I’m at,” Fuqua told Colorado Springs City Council on Jan. 10, during an appeal of the Planning Commission’s decision to approve the development plan for the amphitheater.

He believes The Sunset will bombard his home with noise that could last until 10:30 on weeknights and 11:30 p.m. on weekends. He worries that the concerts will fill the streets of his neighborhood with parked cars and stall traffic on Voyager Parkway and Spectrum Loop.

Katherine Gayle lives a little farther from the amphitheater site, in the Northgate Highlands neighborhood, but she thinks traffic and parking issues will affect her home when The Sunset opens in 2024.

Gayle and her family moved here in 2012 for reasons similar to Fuqua’s. She thought her then-5year-old son would enjoy riding his bike to a proposed water park in Polaris Pointe.

“It was supposed to be high-end retail, like a Park Meadows mall south,” she says. “I was looking forward to that. But instead of having a permanent, vibrant center, it’s not a neighbor hood gathering center — it’s 100 events a year. It’s already having a negative effect on our property value.”

Gayle and Fuqua were part of a group of neighboring residents who appealed the Planning Commission’s Nov. 9 decision. After more than six hours of testimony and debate that ran until nearly 1 a.m. Jan. 11, Council rejected the appeal by a vote of 8-1. Councilor Dave Donelson was the lone dissenter.

Fuqua says he is so concerned about the disruption he expects the amphitheater will bring to his life that he’s considering moving.

Gayle, an attorney, says she and her neighbors are feeling stress, frustration and power lessness. They believe the commissioners and councilors ignored both their concerns and the requirements of the law.

These neighbors aren’t standing still, however.

Two days after Council’s decision, Gayle picked up a petition to run for an at-large seat in the April 4, 2023, municipal election.

And she is helping to form a nonprofit group that intends to pur sue options for minimizing potential impacts on their neighbor hoods, including constant monitoring of the venue.

THE VENUE

JW Roth, founder, CEO and board chair of entertainment company Notes Live, is developing the 8,000-seat outdoor amphi theater on 18 acres wrapped on three sides by Spectrum Loop. The backdrop for the stage, which will be located on the west side of the property, is the U.S. Air Force Academy and the Front Range.

“I’m going to build the most luxurious amphitheater in history” — one that will rival Fiddler’s Green and Red Rocks, Roth told Council at the January meeting.

Notes Live hired architects and consultants to design a $40 million venue Roth described in a July 2022 interview with Sixty35 news magazine (then the Colorado Springs Business Journal) as a space that will pamper both artists and ticket buyers with VIP suites, five-star restaurants, a rooftop bar, “over-thetop artist compounds” and state-of-the-art sound and lighting.

Notes Live says the venue will host 30 to 40 major acts each year, generate $102 million in annual local economic impact, create 500 new jobs and raise $41 million in tax revenue in its first 10 years.

Notes Live came up with a plan for dispersed parking that will include 236 permanent and 500 interim on-site spaces, 195 spaces at the Bass Pro Shops store in Polaris Pointe, 475 spaces at The Classical Academy school south of the amphitheater and 1,164 spaces at Compassion International’s headquarters off Voyager Park way. In addition, 469 spaces on both sides of Spectrum Loop could be used by concertgoers. Notes Live has reached or is negotiating agreements for the off-site spaces and will add land scaping and sidewalks along Spectrum Loop and shuttles from the lots to get patrons from their cars to the venue.

In all, the parking plan provides for more than 3,000 spaces — a third more than the 2,000 spaces the city’s code would require for a sold-out event.

Notes Live’s Senior Vice President of Real Estate Development Bob Mudd told Council that if parking were unavailable for an event at any of the offsite lots — for example if there is a conflicting event at The Classical Academy or if Compassion denies use of its lots because it finds an act unsuitable, Notes Live would reduce capacity by 2.5 tickets per available parking space.

Ticket buyers will pay a parking fee of at least $10 and will have to choose where they will park when they purchase, Mudd said.

Bryan Oller

JW Roth

Chris Lieber, project manager for consultant N.E.S., said the dispersed parking plan will minimize traffic congestion and deter neighborhood parking. An extensive traffic management plan has been developed for events.

Regarding sound, a 28-foot-high acoustic wall will be built on the east side of the amphitheater, where future development of several restaurant buildings will eventually serve as a sound barrier, Mudd told Council. Notes Live will measure sound levels on Voyager Parkway and North Gate Boulevard at regular intervals during performances and require that operators reduce levels if they exceed city code standards, he said.

Notes Live has invested significantly in studies of sound, traffic and parking, Mudd said.

“We take very seriously the impact on the local community,” he said. “We have made substantial changes to our original plan.” If Notes Live does not live up to its commitments, he pointed out, “the city of Colorado Springs has the capacity to shut us down.”

Roth told Council he has operated his other businesses, including Boot Barn Hall at Bourbon Brothers,” with responsibility” and pledged “to work diligently to be a good neighbor.”

Notes Live cancelled an interview Sixty35 scheduled with Roth last week. Notes Live’s publicist said in an email: “We are routinely inviting organizations, citizens, and business owners to our offices for face-to-face conversations to answer questions and ease concerns. We will continue to keep our doors open as we continue this project.”

NEIGHBORS’ CONCERNS

The Planning Commission granted variances to Notes Live concerning parts of the parking plan, including the number of spaces that would be on site and allowable distances for offsite parking, and incorporated 41 conditions into the development plan.

After the Planning Commission meeting, Gayle researched the city code and laws that govern the approval process.

“In the fair process of law, the purpose of government is to weigh and protect everybody’s property rights,” she says. But she contends that the commission granted the waivers and approved the development plan despite unmet review criteria that include compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood, compliance with the Polaris Pointe master plan and PlanCOS, off-street parking requirements, ecological impacts, accessibility, traffic and mitigation of offsite impacts including light and noise.

“I was appalled that City Council didn’t address our concerns and then ruled against us,” Gayle says.

Within days of the decision, the neighbor group started to coalesce again. Several people met with Mitch Hammes, neighborhood services manager with the city, Fuqua says. They discussed how to get neighborhood permit parking, enforcement of concert cutoff times and what to do if noise is excessive.

They learned that the city has three mobile decibel meters that could be deployed to verify if sound levels exceed the city’s limits.

“I believe there will be multiple reports happening within the opening days of the amphitheater such that his team will be very busy,” Fuqua says. The group discussed a court challenge to the Council decision, Gayle says, but ultimately dismissed the idea.

“There is what is called a ‘106 appeal’ that is saying that the city acted in an arbitrary and capricious manner because they didn’t consider the criteria for variances and requirements of the law,” she said. “But a 106 appeal has to be done within 21 days.”

The group was unable to find an attorney in Colorado Springs to file it within the time limit.

“We reached out to lawyers in Denver and Boulder,” she said. “They said it would be at least $30,000, and that it’s very difficult to prove an arbitrary and capricious standard.”

But they intend to use whatever means they can to make sure Notes Live lives up to every one of those 41 conditions.

“We’re not rolling over,” Gayle says. “You can bet we will be calling for every noise violation. We will be calling if it becomes a hardship to have all these cars parked in our neighborhood.”

You can bet we will be calling for EVERY NOISE VIOLATION.

— Katherine Gayle

BUSINESS BRIEFS

COLORADO COLLEGE NAMED TOP FULBRIGHT PRODUCER

On Feb. 10, the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs named Colorado College a Fulbright Top Producing Institution for U.S. students. “This recognition is given to the U.S. colleges and universities that received the highest number of applicants selected for the 2022-23 Fulbright U.S. Student Program,” according to a news release from the college.

The release reported “[f]our students from Colorado College were selected for Fulbright awards for this school year. That number ties CC for 35th among baccalaureate institutions nationally. Among statewide institutions, there are five top producing schools, but only CC is recognized for having the most undergraduate student-winners.”

According to the release, this is the second time CC has made the list of top producing institutions. In 2019-20, four student grantees were selected. “There are 12 CC students and alumni who are semi-finalists for the Fulbright for next school year. Awardees will be announced later this spring,” the release said.

“I am thrilled that Colorado College is one of the top institutions producing Fulbright students,” L. Song Richardson, Colorado College president, said in the release. “Our students’ world view and understanding of global issues are expanded and enriched by these opportunities for international study, research, teaching, and problem solving.”

Fulbright, according to the release, is the government’s “flagship international educational exchange program” and is “also among [the] largest and most diverse exchange programs in the world. Since its inception in 1946, more than 400,000 participants from all backgrounds and fields — including recent university graduates, teachers, scientists, researchers, artists, and others, from the United States and over 160 other countries — have participated in the Fulbright Program. Fulbright alumni have returned to their home countries to make an impact on their communities thanks to their expanded worldview, a deep appreciation for their host country and its people, and a larger network of colleagues and friends.”

Fulbright alumni, according to the release, have included 41 heads of state or government, 62 Nobel Laureates, 89 Pulitzer Prize winners, 78 MacArthur Fellows, and countless leaders and changemakers who carry forward the Fulbright mission of enhancing mutual understanding.

The Fulbright competition is administered at Colorado College through the Fulbright Program Adviser’s office and more information can be found at tinyurl.com/y66r54uj.

SPACE FOUNDATION SELECTS ACHIEVEMENT AWARD RECIPIENT

Space Foundation selected NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test Team as the recipient of this year’s Space Achievement Award. The award will be presented April 17 during Space Foundation’s Space Symposium opening ceremonies to be held at The Broadmoor.

NASA’s DART spacecraft launched on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California and successfully impacted its target asteroid, Dimorphos, on Sept. 26, 2022. “While Dimorphos posed no hazard to Earth, DART’s successful collision with the asteroid demonstrated one method of asteroid deflection using kinetic impactor technology,” according to a news release from the foundation.

“As a first-of-its-kind research mission for planetary defense, DART was another sterling example of the global teamwork and expertise required to make the unimaginable possible,” Space Foundation CEO Tom Zelibor said in the release. “This mission proves that there is no place humanity cannot touch when we work together for common purposes. The entirety of the DART team is to be commended for their extraordinary work in planetary defense and research.”

“Congratulations to NASA’s DART team and to our partners around the world who helped to make this mission a success,” NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said in the release. “DART was a watershed moment for planetary defense. NASA will continue to build on that legacy to be ready for whatever the universe throws at us!”

Established in 1995, Space Foundation’s Space Achievement Award recognizes individuals or organizations “that have demonstrated attainment, breakthrough space technology, or program or product success representing critical milestones in the evolution of space exploration and development.” The Space Achievement Award is presented annually at Space Symposium.

2023 ANNUAL ROAD MAINTENANCE PROGRAM

El Paso County Department of Public Works “has identified a list of annual maintenance and repair projects for the paved and non-paved road systems including asphalt paving, pavement preservation, chip sealing, graveling, dust abatement, road stabilization, and crack sealing road maintenance and repair programs,” according to a news release.

Last week, the Board of County Commissioners endorsed the proposed project list at its meeting. These projects were identified by evaluating safety, road conditions, average daily traffic, customer service requests and other criteria.

“Between paving, pavement preservation, dust abatement, and crack seal, we are going to address over 500 lane miles of roads in the County,” said Commissioner Stan VanderWerf.

The 2023 Annual Road Maintenance Program will maintain:

• 91.64 paving lane miles;

• 75.02 pavement preservation lane miles;

CHA-CHING MACH

BY RHONDA VAN PELT | rvanpelt@sixty35media.org

MANITOU SPRINGS HAS LONG been known as a haven for the arts, history and the people who love them. But a relatively recent change in the 150-year-old city is spreading benevolent ripples throughout the community.

The city of Manitou Springs’ 2022 annual report, released in late January, includes information about how Manitou Arts, Culture, and Heritage funds have impacted the community. The ordinance sets aside 0.3 percent of the city’s sales tax and use tax revenues to support local culture. Voters narrowly approved the measure in November 2019 and it took effect July 1, 2020.

MACH was set up to divert 66 percent of those funds to support facility improvements and operations at five historic buildings, the Tier 1 recipients. They are: the Carnegie Library building, the Hiawatha Gardens property, Manitou Art Center, Manitou Springs Heritage Center and Miramont Castle.

distributed in 2022 amounted to $480,138. The Tier 1 properties split $323,154, leaving $156,984 for grants. Last year, 27 competitive grants and eight minigrants were disbursed.

The report also states that MACH-funded events drew 32,430 participants and that 3 million people have seen MACH-funded public art.

Becca Sickbert, executive director of Creative Alliance Manitou Springs, explains that astounding number combines all reported participation or digital interaction throughout the funded programs and projects. She emphasizes that it’s not equivalent to attendance, because some programs support opportunities for networking, training and marketing, and the same people could be participating in multiple experiences.

“I think it’s important to draw a key distinction that those experiences are not just about seeing — it’s all things sensory: listening, touching, tasting or creating art in MACH-funded arts, culture and

Sickbert says the projects that really boost experiences to that 3 million-experience stratosphere are the ones that are accessible 24/7. They include Brenda Biondo’s “Window into Wildlife” installations at bus stops, the Smokebrush Foundation’s Turtle Project asphalt murals at crosswalks surrounding Memorial Park and sculptures stretching from Hiawatha Gardens on Old Man’s Trail to the 900 block of Manitou Avenue, a 0.6-mile expanse.

“Isn’t that the point of public art — that it’s easily accessible to anyone, of any age, and any kind of physical ability, whether casually passing by on the avenue or spending a whole day interacting with art in one of our beautiful pocket parks?” Sickbert says.

The MACH board received 69 grant requests during its most recent application cycle, which ended Jan. 6. And 24 of those are mini-grant requests, according to board chair Neale Minch.

In 2021, the board received 52 grant requests, with 18 asking for mini-grants. Funds totaling $150,000 were disbursed, supporting 23 successful projects. Sickbert leads training sessions for applicants so their requests can be as thorough as possible and align with the values in Plan Manitou, the community’s long-range master plan.

“Creativity is good business,” she says. “The more fun, relevant and unique our businesses and events can be for Manitou Springs, the more enticing it is for our residents, neighbors and visitors to shop, eat, play and stay with us.”

The board will discuss applications for this year’s disbursements and present its selections to City Council in March; City Council is expected to decide on the recipients that month.

The remaining funds are used for Tier 2 competitive grants and mini-grants (up to $750), with recipients selected by the MACH board.

All projects must be implemented within city limits. People and entities outside Manitou Springs are eligible to apply, as long as they apply via a fiscal partnership with a Manitou-based nonprofit that has been in existence for at least two years.

According to the annual report, MACH funds

heritage moments,” Sickbert says.

She also explains that the 3 million statistic is based on reports from the Manitou Springs Chamber of Commerce, Mountain Metro bus service and the Colorado Department of Transportation, attendance at School District 14 events and First Friday Art Walks, ticket sales, parking fees and online traffic. MACH grant recipients are required to report the impacts their projects have had on the community.

This year, Minch says, the board anticipates approximately $150,000 will be available for grants, but applicants have requested approximately $330,000.

“Generally the quality of applications is good, and we expect to see a higher number of partial awards this cycle,” he says.

The tax, scheduled to sunset in 2035, still has plenty of time to leave a legacy for future generations.

“Nobody knew just how much revenue the MACH tax would produce, but in two and a half years the total amount will surpass $1 million — all going directly back into the community,” board member Ralph Routon says.

“That’s clearly making a difference, not just for the larger recipients but for the dozens of smaller programs and projects that are being impacted.”

COMPARED TO OTHER SHOPPING CENters, Mission Trace goes at its own pace.

On a recent Wednesday at the retail center of about 20 businesses in Southeast Colorado Springs, traffic trickled into the parking lots and empty U-Haul trucks awaited outside a Self Storage store. Diners walked in and out of restaurants — Sabrina’s Soul Food Kitchen, Mariscos Altamar — while music echoed from inside Trends of Africa & Alterations and lights flickered from the windows of Ebony’s Beauty Supply.

But slow doesn’t mean no progress.

A recent remodel included fresh paint, new signage and parking lot resurfacing for the center’s buildings. And Mission Trace will soon welcome the newest location of Las Tortugas, a popular Denver-based tortas shop.

These updates come from Craddock Commercial Real Estate, which purchased the once-bustling shopping center in 2006 after it fell into foreclosure.

“About 20 percent of it was occupied and it was falling apart,” says Matt Craddock, an owner of his family’s real estate company. “It was a derelict shopping center. We decided, ‘We’ll come in and fix this up.’”

Craddock has since poured more than $3.5 million into the center. By 2010, it was 95 percent occupied and has kept that rate.

Fixing it up hasn’t been as straightforward as the new black-and-white paint job. Mission Trace has been caught up in complications for years.

The main complication is impossible to miss: In the middle of Mission Trace sits a vacant and decaying

58,242-square-foot supermarket building with boardedup doors and holes in the walls.

“It brings the whole shopping center down,” says Craddock, who doesn’t own the building. “It continues to be a sore spot.”

The building, once home to King Soopers, has been sitting empty since 2003, when the grocery store moved across the street and shopper traffic followed. It marked the end of Mission Trace’s heyday.

In the 1980s the center, near the intersection of South Academy Boulevard and Hancock Expressway, boosted business and brought in the Southeast’s first bank. Since it hit the skids in 2003, it’s been the subject of several studies and proposals, including a 2009 initiative called Dream City 2020 and a 2018 study by the Urban Land Institute.

Plans presented by developers and others over the years have not come to fruition. That includes efforts by Solid Rock Community Development Corporation to turn the shopping center into a community hub.

In 2018, Solid Rock’s Executive Director Benjamin Anderson told us about the vision for Mission Trace to become “the center for entertainment, the center for communication and the center for recreation for the Southeast.” He detailed plans to turn the old King Soopers into a community recreation center or gathering place. Those dreams were to be funded by a $1 million grant from The Colorado Health Foundation, awarded in November 2018.

Now, those plans are “dead,” says Anderson.

“The status of Mission Trace becoming a community

hub has not been talked about for [about] three years,” he says. “We’ve moved on.”

Craddock says his company worked with Solid Rock for two years. He says seeing those plans fall apart was “devastating.”

“It didn’t make sense financially,” he says. “That conversation has completely disappeared.”

The grant, though, is “still in play.”

That initial grant’s period was slated to end in October 2021. It was then extended through January 2024 and the grant amount was increased to $2 million, according to Taryn Fort, senior director of communications and influence with The Colorado Health Foundation.

Anderson hinted that Solid Rock hasn’t given up on the idea of a community hub for the Southeast in another location. And Solid Rock still has a presence in the shopping center via a community food pantry, which distributes free food weekly.

More hope for Mission Trace came in 2020, when Toby Gannett, owner of BCR Management, proposed turning the old King Soopers building into 280 units of affordable housing.

Craddock, who also helped work on that deal, says it simply “didn’t go anywhere.” Sixty35’s attempts to reach Gannett were unsuccessful.

“Every year since 2006, I’ve been throwing ideas against the wall to try to make something happen,” Craddock says. “If I could figure out a use for that King Soopers, I would be the first one in line.”

The problem goes back to 2003, when the former King Soopers building was purchased by Parkway Market Limited Liability Company, which is owned by Denver-based businessman John Buckley.

Buckley owns at least part of a competing shopping center across the street, according to Craddock.

“He hasn’t been motivated to sell,” Craddock says. “I think this has been a really fun game for him. He’s wrecking what could be a community asset.”

(Sixty35 attempted to contact Buckley at several phone numbers, and was unable to reach him. Olive Real Estate, which is trying to sell the building for Buckley, declined to provide any contact information for him, or to comment for this story.)

In 2010, Craddock told us about the same issue.

“I’ve tried to talk to him, but got nowhere — but I’ve heard he’s starting to get serious about selling,” Craddock said at the time.

Thirteen years later, there’s one indication of that being true. The empty supermarket at 3175 Jet Wing Drive is listed for sale via Olive Real Estate Group (olivereg.com/listings/#/property/118374). It comes with a price tag of $2.5 million.

Progress has been slow at Mission Trace Shopping Center.

NICHOLAS CRUTCHER

BY AMELIA ALLEN | news@sixty35media.org

IN 2018, NICHOLAS CRUTCHER launched Crutcher Cornerstone Community Development Corporation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit headquartered in Southeast Colorado Springs that runs after-school and summer camp programs designed to uplift and empower children of color. He’s a civil rights activist, minister, and presidentelect of the Garden of the Gods Rotary Club.

What was your childhood like?

So we’ll go back to where it all started. I was born in Peoria, Illinois, during what I will call “the crack epidemic.” My father was a pimp, to my knowledge; he also was a gangbanger, and my mother the same. I actually had crack in my veins, my body had to detox as a baby. Long story short, I was placed in different foster homes. When I was in kindergarten, I shared with one of my teachers that I wanted to be an educator, and I wanted to be a senator, and a businessman, and I wanted to give back to my community. She shared with me — at that time I had a speech impediment, I was in special ed — “Do something where you can use your hands, you’re very creative, be a carpenter.” And it broke my heart.

How did your adoptive parents inspire you to be a lifelong community advocate?

Emma Jean Crutcher is my adoptive mother. She fought the school district for me. I was in special ed but she said “test this baby” — not allowing me to just be labeled. At that time I was taking a lot of medication and in speech therapy. I went from being on the [autism] spectrum to being promoted a grade. When it comes to education, there was someone that fought for me — and it wasn’t my blood family. When I got to Colorado Springs in 2018, my adoptive father passed away. I always remember when I was a kid asking him, “I would love to give back, dad — how can I give back?” and he never answered. Right before he died I said, “I don’t know how to give back.” He said, “What I gave to you, give to somebody else. I loved you. I chose you.” I was adopted. Somebody loved me. Somebody invested in me.

You’ve been involved in youth education since 1996, when you mentored kids at a Grace Missionary Baptist Church camp. Where did the interest in education come from?

There were a few ministers that mentored me and they had a vacation bible study. We couldn’t

get any kids to join the vacation bible study. So I said, “What if we change things?” They allowed me to be the principal of the bible study, and we had so many kids come out that they wanted to keep it going. It was right next to a basketball court, and we had a place where kids could get nutritious meals. I worked with the [Colo rado Springs] Black Chamber of Commerce and city officials and police officers to get the program up and running.

Tell us about Cornerstone’s programming. Every young person has to set goals. So depending on their goals, we’ll pair them with mentors. We have a reading compo nent; we launched the fREADom move ment, where all of our young people are encouraged to read for 20 minutes a day. We have a STEAM approach. We have a Leadership Development Academy. Every year for the past seven years the mayor has come in for that program, and now we have the police department coming in, and we go to a City Council meeting. We’ve been doing many camps — camp hip-hop, artistry, fashion. We just launched our for-profit printing press, so we’re making our own T-shirts.

What does “Cornerstone” represent in the name of your nonprofit?

The spiritual element — Christ is our chief cornerstone. When I make a decision it’s like, “What would Christ do?” All of our programs are free. When you build a building, a monument, anything, you have to start with a cornerstone, and if your first brick is off, you can’t build a foundation. What’s beautiful is that when you have the right foundation you can build a house on it, you can build a coliseum, anything you build on it will stand.

First Friday Express

Commonwheel Artists Co-op

Local artists and big crowds made for a festive February First Friday

BY NICK RAVEN | nraven@sixty35media.org

WARMER THAN USUAL WEATHER MADE this February’s First Friday art tour a pleasant stroll — and bus ride — from Manitou to Downtown Colorado Springs. Kicking off before the crowds gathered, Sixty35 got to visit a smattering of galleries and exhibits, encountering ever-growing crowds as the night went on. Here’s a peek at what we saw and what you have to look forward to this month.

ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT 30

PhotobyNickRaven

The Bridge Gallery

COMMONWHEEL ARTISTS CO-OP

Carnivale: Celebrating 30 Years by various artists, through Feb. 27; 102 Cañon Ave., Manitou Springs, commonwheel.com

The Commonwheel Artists Co-op choreographed a visual parade for their gallery this month as they celebrate three decades of the town’s Carnivale festival. The exhibit features otherworldly and warm energetic paintings, including one of late Manitou artist Charles Rockey as a wizard by Ed McKay. Alongside festival beads and event posters from yesteryear, you’ll find Carnivale masks and stained glass and metal sculptures. The bright palettes and fun works on display highlighted one of Manitou’s many colorful town traditions.

MANITOU ART CENTER

Before & After by Rob Watts, through Feb. 25; 513 Manitou Ave., manitouartcenter.org

Down the street in the Manitou Art Center’s Hagnauer Gallery, Rob Watts’ new framed embroidery for Before & After lines the walls. In his exhibit brief, Watts explains that before he got into embroidery, he was a landscape painter. These small pieces with irregular edges fuse woodcut stylings with realistic portrayals of shadowy hillsides, sun-drenched plains and, as a fun surprise, rows of heads on a shelf.

LIGHTSPEED CURATIONS

Lightspeed Curations Kreuser Gallery

Phoenix Rising by Jesse Stockman, no closing date provided; 306 S. 25th St., lightspeedart.art

Just off the beaten path in Old Colorado City, a block beyond where the sidewalk ends on 25th Street, lies Lightspeed Curations and their unconventional multidiscipline gallery and workspace. Right up front, they’ve displayed the vivid and abstract works of Jesse Stockman with selections ranging from book-sized to wall-spanning. You’ll find no subtlety among these bold fields of splotchy camouflage, nebular arrangement or… jelly bean warfare? These acrylic-on-canvas paintings enlist plenty of color with thick deployments of paint as well as plenty of imagination.

THE BRIDGE/COMMONS

The Bridge: Positive/Negative by various artists; Commons Gallery: Venerable Stone by Pam Farris; through Feb. 25; 218 W. Colorado Ave. Landing back in Downtown Colorado Springs at The Bridge and Commons galleries, the crowds had turned up in their co-op setting. The Bridge’s Positive/Negative show displayed a variety of smaller, high-contrast works that questioned lights, tones, and even physical perspective. Marc Shereck had a few pieces on display, including a noir-ish cathedral at night… or is it day? Maybe it’s in a storm? Jeanne Steiner’s pair of woven pieces were large and intricate, drawing plenty of attention with hints of color amidst its vast fields.

In the Commons Gallery, Pam Farris had a series of Byzantine and Roman-esque mosaics made of glass, stone and ceramic that drew from her studies abroad. The artist even looked the part with a period-appropriate wardrobe for the launch party.

G44 GALLERY

I think I liked it better when I knew everything by Michael Dowling and I Take Salvation Seriously... by Jacqueline Moulton, through Feb. 24; 121 E. Boulder St., g44gallery.com Coming off a month-long “break” with neighboring Kreuser Gallery, G44 highlighted the work of two artists this month. Michael Dowling had an extensive set of stark drawings and paintings on display for I think I liked it better when I knew everything. One corner featured a set of white horse models circled around a large drawing of another horse, which was clamped into place to prevent the paper from rolling. In the small rear hall, Jacqueline Moulton’s I Take Salvation Seriously / The abyss came to me in a dream — and said nothing exhibited a vulnerable artist as an array of nudes and poetry laid along the floor. Come soak this one in when it’s a bit less busy.

KREUSER GALLERY

Gratitude Exhibit by various artists, through Feb. 24; 125 E. Boulder St., kreusergallery.com Last week, we documented the “Art of the Artwork” in which curator Abigail Kreuser explained, amid clouds of laid-out artwork, how she set up her fifth annual Gratitude Exhibit. While some small and expected changes were made, the finished exhibit is a deluxe delight with a variety of submissions from 175 invited artists. The plethora of works attracted such a large crowd that there may as well have been queues to see it all.

CITY AUDITORIUM

Multae Manus Collective Annual Exhibition, through March 1; 221 E. Kiowa St., facebook.com/CommunityCulturalCollective Closing out the evening, Sixty35 dropped in at City Auditorium for the annual exhibition of the local Multae Manus — meaning “many hands” — collective. Dominating one side of the hall were the swirling blacks, blues and yellows on white canvases by Karen Mosbacher. The paintings portrayed her chromesthesia, a phenomenon that allows her to experience music as colors.

On the far side lie the works of her protégés, including abstract series of paintings and then portraits by Emily Solomon, whose subjects were painted against maps of where they experienced impactful events in their lives.

REVERB

BY BRYAN OSTROW | reverb@sixty35media.org

NEW PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MOVing to Colorado Springs for a while now, and though many complain about it increasing housing costs and traffic, I feel it’s a good thing, especially great for art, music and culture. There are more people here to go to shows, more people to perform, and more people with progressive ideals in a town that has been well-known for not sharing those ideals.

Josh Jessmore — better known by his stage name Def One — is a hip-hop artist who came to Colorado Springs from New York in 2015. “I moved here to try a new music scene and to be around these amazing mountains” says Jessmore, who moved back to New York for a few years but returned in late 2020. In his time in Colorado he’s accomplished a lot with his music.

“I’ve opened for some of my favorite artists such as R.A. the Rugged Man, All Flows Reach Out, Onry Ozzborn, Madchild, Palmer Squares, Kottonmouth Kings, Afroman, Keith Murray, Lil’ Flip and many, many more,” he says. He’s played upwards of 200 shows and has released three albums.

On Friday the 17th he’ll be releasing his newest album, Bad Guys Finish First, at The Black Sheep. This will not just be a release show, but also his farewell, as he’s headed back to New York.

“I’m moving back because I had a bunch of opportunities pop up on the East Coast and I just have some unfinished business,” he says. “I’ve journeyed the whole state basically and have done everything Colorado has to offer. It definitely will always be my second home.” Def One will be joined at The Black Sheep by Affliction Music, Holy Smoke, W.F. YETi and Shaneathan, and will be hosted by Earsiq with DJ Gravity spinning the music all night.

THERE’S A LOT MORE COMING UP around town this weekend. On Friday night, Lulu’s in Manitou will be hosting two shows, upstairs with the Americana/string sounds of Della Mae, and downstairs with singer/songwriters Joe Pug and Lizzie Weber Vultures will also be having an evening of singer/songwriters with Chuck Snow, Jerry Minson and George Duncan.

Saturday is now upon us and there’s something for everyone. Lulu’s has the bluesy soul sounds of Eddie 9V, while Vultures has the punk rock of Plasma Canvas, SPELLS, Bad Year and Cheap Perfume. Head next door to The Black Sheep for a sold-out heavy show with Thy Art Is Murder, Kublai Khan, Undeath, I AM and Justice for the Damned

Sunday offers a great way to wind down the weekend, with the smooth songs of singer/songwriter Martin Sexton at Lulu’s. Sexton started releasing albums in 1992, received the National Academy of Songwriters Artist of the Year Award in 1994 and hasn’t slowed down since, releasing a total of 13 full-length albums and two EPs. Be sure to catch this special event, which promises to be a great intimate musical experience.

It definitely will always be my second home.

The acceptance of anarchism as a serious political philosophy has waxed and waned, but two artists simultaneously releasing anarchist works in February may be a sign of a resurgence. Anarchist Gospel (New West Records) by Sunny War (Sydney Lyndella Ward) carries the most straightforward political message, though the new compilation by producer/author scott crow, Of Everything… and Nothing (eMERGENCY heARTS), puts crow’s activism in larger political and musical contexts.

Since relocating from Nashville to L.A., Ward has released five albums that follow a genre of acoustic folk-punk from women of color, represented by a powerful few from Tracy Chapman to Leyla McCalla. War sings powerful anthems like “Test Dummy” aimed at communities of color. She is joined by David Rawlings on more expansive rockers like “Shelter and Storm,” and even covers Ween’s “Baby Bitch” with a children’s choir as backup.

The work by crow is more diffuse, because many are instrumental works and certain songs serve primarily as pointers to his book on anarchist activism, Black Flags and Windmills. Collaborators range from Thor Harris to DJ Pane, and the track “The Triumph of Our Tired Eyes” featuring Televangel might be the most moving. The final cut is a slogan for crow, “Anarchy is the Way I See the World.” He will release a remix version of the album in April with more guests, including Meat Beat Manifesto.

ALSO NEW & NOTEWORTHY

Shania Twain, Queen of Me (Republic Records) – This is only the sixth studio release by Twain since 1993, as she’s handled parenting, divorce and health challenges. Her shift from country to pop since 2017 has won Twain allies from Harry Styles to Post Malone, and the new album held promise as a feminist credo. Aside from standout tracks, though, the album displays only a half-hearted conviction. The opener, “Giddy Up!” holds exuberant promise, but clever riffs thereafter can’t hide a confusion in delivery.

COUNTRY MILES

The crossovers and comebacks of Tanya Tucker

BY BILL FORMAN | bforman@sixty35media.org

EVER SINCE PATSY CLINE HELPED

pioneer Nashville’s “countrypolitan” sound back in the 1950s, artists have been crossing over from country into the realm of pop music, endlessly searching for broader audiences, larger paychecks and — it should go without saying — creative fulfillment. A case in point would be Shania Twain, who scored at least two of the three with the help of producer Mutt Lange (previous clients: Michael Bolton, Def Leppard, The Cars) and has continued to reach No. 1 on both the country and pop charts for more than two decades.

Tanya Tucker, one of Twain’s biggest inspirations, went down a similar path, but with less predictable results. The small-town Texas native was just 13 when she released “Delta Dawn,” a Top 10 country hit delivered with a vocal and emotional range that belied her young age.

from the outlaw-country of “Texas (When I Die)” to a Southern-rock rendition of John Prine’s “Angel from Montgomery.” It’s not an album she recalls fondly. “This is probably my biggest regret,” she said in one interview. “Unfortunately, the promotion was better than the record, and it all backfired on me.”

Tanya Tucker

While her hardcore fans remained faithful, it would take Tucker nearly a decade to reclaim her position at the top of the country charts, thanks to a string of singles — “One Love at a Time,” “I’ll Come Back as Another Woman,” “Strong Enough to Bend,” “Highway Robbery” — which still find their way into her setlists.

Pikes Peak Center, 190 S. Cascade Ave. $39-$80, pikespeakcenter.com

Tucker would later recall in a 2009 Texas Monthly interview how her father — a heavy equipment operator who would take Tanya and her sister to see Mel Tillis and Ernest Tubb concerts — would tell her that she had to approach singing the same way Hank Williams did.

“You’ve got two strikes against you,” he said. “You’re a female, and you’re 9 years old, so you’re going to have to sing it with twice as much feeling as anybody has ever sung it.”

And she did. After winning a 1972 Academy of Country Music Award for “Most Promising Female Vocalist,” Tucker went on to release five chart-topping albums in as many years, blanketing country radio with tailor-made hits like “San Antonio Stroll” and “It’s a Cowboy Lovin’ Night.”

Then came the makeover. In 1978, Tucker hooked up with a California management team who encouraged her to record TNT, a country/rock crossover album that ended up costing close to a half-million dollars. But it was the cover photo of the leather-clad artist straddling a microphone cord — along with a promotional campaign that included a full-page ad in Hustler magazine — which caught the attention of the mainstream media, conservative commentators, and other prurient parties who thrive on indignant outrage.

Musically, TNT was pretty much all over the place,

And now, a half-century after she first established herself as country music’s most promising female vocalist, Tucker has managed to pull off an even more impressive comeback. Absent from the studio for 10 years, she was finally coaxed by Brandi Carlile into picking up where she’d left off. Carlile would co-write six of the songs on While I’m Livin’, including “Bring My Flowers Now,” a song that Tucker had been trying to finish for 30 years.

The leap of faith paid off. Twenty-five albums into her career, Tucker took home her first two Grammy Awards, one for Best Country Album, the other for Best Country Song. Meanwhile, the making of I’m Still Livin’ — as well as the artist’s return to the stage — are celebrated in the documentary The Return of Tanya Tucker: Featuring Brandi Carlile, which premiered at the South by Southwest film and music festival and was released by Sony Pictures in Blu-ray, DVD and digital formats last month.

On her upcoming tour, Tucker will be performing “Delta Dawn” and “Bring My Flowers Now” and many of the other hits that came in between. But she’s also been known to cover a wide range of works by other artists, from Loretta Lynn and Tammy Wynette to Bruce Springsteen and The Waterboys.

But there’s one artist that she won’t be covering, onstage or in the studio, and that’s Patsy Cline. Although she did make an exception, that one time, for an old friend. “Willie Nelson wanted me to sing ‘Crazy’ with him and I said I’d do it just for him just this once,” she recalled in a 2016 interview. “I sang the hell out of it but, you know, she’s a tall tree and you don’t want to get caught in the shadows.”

Of course, the same can be said for Tucker, especially if you’re among the scores of younger artists who, like Shania Twain and Brandi Carlile, continue to follow in her footsteps.

You’re going to have to sing it with twice as much feeling as anybody has ever sung it.

Almost a quarter of U.S. military families face food insecurity

BY AMANDA MILLER LUCIANO | news@sixty35media.org

NEARLY 30 PERCENT OF THE PEOPLE WHO GET FOOD from Pikes Peak United Way’s biweekly food distributions are active-duty military.

“I was actually really surprised by the numbers myself,” says Elizabeth Quevedo, director of community impact for United Way.

“It’s a huge problem,” she says. “Many of the lower-ranking enlisted soldiers simply aren’t making enough.”

According to a 2022 report from the Department of Defense, 24 percent of military families are food insecure, meaning they are consistently unable to afford enough nutritious food to live on.

Quevedo started having staff ask the military question, which was added to a very short list of questions about household size and ZIP code, two years ago.

“I kept seeing all of these military spouses who I knew were military spouses,” she says.

Quevedo had been an Army platoon commander and a military spouse herself.

There are many factors that contribute to military food insecurity, according to those who work with service members in need. Military families move often, which can make it hard for spouses to find and maintain employment.

“I was a military spouse, and I didn’t work for seven years,” says Quevedo. “It made things tight for us, and my husband was an officer.”

Additionally, many of the lowest-ranking enlisted members today have families. That didn’t used to be the case, according to Bob McLaughlin, a veteran and Chief Operating Officer of Mt. Carmel Veterans Service Center, a nonprofit dedicated to helping veterans and active-duty military.

“The demographics have changed,” he says. “We used to joke that if the military wanted you to have a wife, they would have issued you one. It used to be that 70 percent of the entry-level enlisted were single. Now, it’s the other way around.”

THE PAY SCALES FOR THE YOUNGEST AND NEWEST SERvice members may be enough to sustain a single person, but it’s tough for the families that often depend on the income today.

While the military just had its biggest pay increase in more than 20 years at 4.6 percent across the board, there were no special adjustments for the lowest-ranking troops.

To help address the issue of low-ranking service members with families who are struggling, the DOD launched a new program in January called the Basic Needs Allowance, which will provide additional funding to military families with household incomes at or below 130 percent of the poverty line.

“It’s a really timely thing that the military created this pro -

gram focused on our youngest recruits,” says Nathan Springer, CEO of Care and Share Food Bank for Southern Colorado and the former Garrison Commander at Fort Carson Army Base. “I know that Feeding America really worked armin-arm with the DOD over the last year and a half, advocating that this needed to happen.”

It’s especially timely because the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits that families in need depend upon to offset food costs are about to be reduced dramatically when the additional emergency allotments granted under the COVID public health emergency expire at the end of February.

Springer expects demand at Care and Share and partner food banks to surge dramatically when the additional benefits expire.

Many military members, while they may be experiencing food insecurity, don’t qualify for SNAP benefits. That’s often because the military provides a separate Basic Allowance for Housing, which is higher in more expensive cities like Colorado Springs, to offset the cost of off-base housing. That allowance is cal-

culated in the income for service members, which often puts their incomes out of range for public assistance programs.

Justin Verhulst, a peer navigator at Mt. Carmel, says that makes things tough for entry-level enlisted people, especially if they have families. Verhulst was one of those entry-level guys. He was in combat

arms and artillery. During his activeduty years, he lived in the barracks as a single soldier. Most soldiers didn’t want to be in the barracks, he says. It seemed almost like some would marry just to be able to live off base. He had the option to eat at cafeterias or to cook in a tiny kitchen.

Volunteers with Raytheon Technologies and Care and Share Food Bank for Southern Colorado distributed food last year.

Finding affordable and manageable home cooking options was challenging even as a single soldier, says Verhulst.

“They don’t tell you not to ask for help,” Verhulst says. “But you’re trained to be tough. You can live in any conditions, you can sleep anywhere, and you can eat anything.”

The DOD reports that all military installations have food pantries and there are plenty of assistance programs on the bases. But more than 60 percent of the families Mt. Carmel assisted at its 55 food distributions in 2022 were activeduty military or veterans. That indicates that many military service members are going off base for help.

“Back then, I didn’t even know there were things like food pantries,” he says. “It was just easier to go get fast food than it was to ask for help.”

ONE OF THE BIGGEST REASONS

military food insecurity is such an issue is likely the stigma around asking for help. Because those needing assistance don’t go through the chain of command to request it, it has remained an elusive problem for the military.

“There’s a bit of anonymity people can get when they come to our food distributions,” Quevedo says of United Way. “They don’t have to answer a lot of questions. They don’t have to worry about how getting help could impact their careers.”

She says that when she was a platoon leader, she had a soldier’s wife approach her and tell her they were in trouble.

“When I was in the Army, you didn’t know about problems until they reached crisis level,” says Quevedo.

She says the wife who came to her for help told her they couldn’t afford formu-

la for their baby or enough food for the rest of the family.

“She said her husband didn’t come to me because he didn’t want me to think less of him as a soldier,” says Quevedo.

But the Army did have resources for the family. Quevedo was able to help them get groceries with an emergency fund, and to help them secure a lowinterest loan to stabilize their finances.

Stabilizing finances is another piece of the equation for resolving military food insecurity, McLaughlin says.

“We don’t just want to provide a BandAid,” he says. “If the problem is hunger, you provide food. But it can’t stop there.”

Mt. Carmel also provides financial coaching to help active-duty military and veterans make smarter financial decisions, so their money will go further.

Mt. Carmel partners with the local Army and Air Force bases. Verhulst regularly presents at military briefings — where airmen and soldiers are required to attend informational sessions — about the resources the nonprofit provides.

“We are really working in partnership with the military branches,” McLaughlin says.

THE OUTSIDER

By John Hazlehurst

CHEERS TO BOOKS,scoundrels and elk

IN TRYING TIMES SUCH AS THESE, MANY of us seek refuge. We might go for a long bike ride, a hike in the mountains, a trail run, watch a Colombian telenovela or Seinfeld reruns — anything to escape the news. I choose my bookshelves. Reading is in my blood. My mother opened her Downtown bookstore 100 years ago, and kept it going for more than 30 years. My paternal great-grandfather, after whom I am named, wrote a moving book about his years as a private soldier in the Civil War. My first cousin Charlie just published an account of my maternal great-grandfather’s experience in that war. The two young men faced each other in battle, but never met. I have their books, and thousands more. Had I invested as much in the stock market as I spent on books, I’d be rich and miserable — books give me joy. So let me introduce you to some of them.

“Pikes Peak or Bust” and Historical Sketches of the Wild West was self-published in 1922 by John O’Byrne in Colorado Springs. The author is fondly remembered in Old Colorado City as the rapscallion who broke two elk to harness in the 1880s, hitched them up to a carriage and drove them through Denver and Colorado Springs.

Bragging about his exploits, O’Byrne turned to doggerel. “In old town I cut quite a dash; I took many pains to

Mark Riesterer

spend all my cash. I drove through the streets with Laura Belle by my side — a span of elk, how fine we did ride…”

And he had fun in Denver.

“My elk team was always unwelcome in Denver (because they spooked horses). I have seen as many as three runaways at one time, women screaming at the top of their voices and the driver hanging on for dear life.”

And if you think O’Byrne is just spinning a fanciful yarn, the book is profusely illustrated with photographs of the elk, the author, and other regional oddities. He mourned the decline of Colorado City and Cripple Creek.

“Today Cripple Creek is as tame and as docile as a lamb and too dead to skin… not a single man has been put in jail there the past year and a half,” he wrote. And “Today, old town resembles a dog with a bad case of the mange.”

The book is cheerfully inscribed in the author’s flamboyant handwriting, including his address: 427 E. Bijou St., Colorado Springs.

Beside O’Byrne in the bookcase is a copy of Louisa Mae

Alcott’s Little Men, inscribed on the flyleaf “Alice Winslow, June 25 1871.” Alice was my grandmother’s older sister, who died during a train ride in the 1890s from Colorado Springs to Boston. Her handwriting was beautiful, as was she — I have a photo album with dozens of pictures of her and her sisters in Colorado Springs. I don’t think she ever read Little Men — the book is too pristine. I treasure the past, but have added books since the 1950s (and no, keeping books isn’t hoarding!). Here are a few, randomly picked from a shelf: Jane Hilberry’s Body Painting, Archie Musick’s Musick Medley: Intimate Memories of a Rocky Mountain Art Colony, Don Street’s The Ocean Sailing Yacht, and Stewart Brothers’ Scenic Views of Pikes Peak. I love Jane’s intensely personal and ardent poems; Don was a pal in the West Indies 55 years ago; Archie’s book is a great read; and I love hand-colored photos from the 1920s. My favorite: anything by Nora Ephron, especially I Remember Nothing

Jane’s inscription from 2005 still makes me smile, Archie’s daughter Pat is a pillar of the arts community, Don is still around at 90+ and Nora followed the regrettable example of so many people our age — she died.

And one last thing: O’Byrne named his elk Thunder and Buttons. Next time you’re at that OCC bar, raise a glass to a fine old scoundrel and his elk…

Had I invested as much in the stock market as I spent on books, I’D BE RICH AND MISERABLE.

No election selections, but still HERE FOR YOU

IN CASE YOU HADN’T NOTICED, WE HERE at Sixty35 take our elections pretty seriously. As the Colorado Springs Independent, we spent countless hours interviewing candidates, dissecting ballot questions and endorsing both issues and office seekers. In October, the Indy ’s parent company (Colorado Publishing House) converted to a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (Sixty35 Media), so by law we’re not permitted to pick favorites anymore. But, as much as ever, we are involved in getting you the election news you need to make an informed decision.

Our editorial board has made the case before that municipal elections are never as sexy as their national counterparts; but local elections are the most likely to have a direct impact on your quality of life. And this year’s field of hopefuls chasing your vote in the April 4 Colorado Springs municipal election includes 12 mayoral candidates, 11 at-large City Council candidates and two District 3 candidates. There’s also a ballot issue that, if passed, would extend and make some small changes to the Trails, Open Space and Parks program.

Those who are elected will have their work cut out for them. Incoming leadership will be part of the team that impacts utilities, annexation, access to city water, development, affordable and attainable housing, public safety and rising crime and traffic fatalities, homelessness, taxes, parks and open spaces, and so much more.

That’s why we at Sixty35 have partnered

EDITORIAL BOARD: Bryan Grossman, Helen Lewis, Mary Jo Meade, Ralph Routon

with the League of Women Voters of the Pikes Peak Region to bring the constituents of Colorado Springs our new Sixty35 Vote podcast, in conjunction with the League’s Making Democracy Work podcast. On March 8, our organization and LWVPPR will drop our podcast interviews (video and audio) with City Council and mayoral candidates, in which they explain their positions regarding the topics above.

We know all too well that turnout for municipal elections is traditionally pretty sad.

In the 2021 city elections, 83,404 ballots were cast — voter turnout of just under 27 percent. And that was a slide from the municipal elections immediately prior. The Indy reported that year that “[u]ltimately, the 2019 city election drew ballots from 37 percent of those who received them. In 2017, 31.7 percent of voters cast ballots in the city election, which involved 262,854 ballots.”

And this factoid from Fairvote.org paints a depressing picture of civic engagement across the country: “Voter turnout in the United States is much lower than in other countries, hovering around 60% in presidential elections and 40% in midterm election years. Turnout soars to 90% in countries with mandatory voting and reaches around 70% overall in developed countries.”

This editorial board has stressed the importance of voting in the Colorado Springs Indy, and we’ll continue to do it here — because if the numbers cited are any indication, our city (and country) is becoming less engaged. We get that actively participating in the process is hard work. And yes, we just had an election less than half a year ago. Who wants to do this all over again, only to have to do it all over — again?

We at Sixty35, however, have done the heavy lifting. You’ll just need to fire up your computer or phone, click, take notes and cast your ballot.

And if you really want to see how the sausage is made, in addition to our podcasts, LWVPPR will be hosting candidate forums leading up to the election. Check in at lwvppr.clubexpress.com and click “Event Calendar” for a schedule of events.

Don’t let others decide for you what your city will look like. Do your homework. Let us help. And most importantly, cast your ballot on or before April 4.

Cannabis reform not a priority for McCarthy and GOP

BY JEANNE DAVANT | jdavant@sixty35media.org

MARIJUANA REFORM MEASURES

like the SAFE Banking Act face an uphill battle in the Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives.

Marijuana reform just isn’t a priority for House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, reporter Chris Roberts writes in a Feb. 9 post on MjBizDaily.com.

Though there are conservative supporters of marijuana reform in the House, like Rep. Nancy Mace, who represents a coastal district of South Carolina, Roberts says. Mace plans to reintroduce the States Reform Act, which would remove cannabis from the federal controlled substances list. It would also:

• Remove criminal penalties for marijuana consumption and possession, and expunge most nonviolent marijuana criminal convictions;

• Establish a 3 percent federal excise tax for marijuana products;

“it’s certainly more challenging under Republican rule,” she says.

Even though there is a good amount of bipartisan agreement that marijuana reform is needed, it’s not likely to get done in the next couple of years, legislators and lobbyists told Roberts.

Observers also expected the SAFE Banking Act, which would allow financial institutions to work with legal marijuana businesses, to be reintroduced, Roberts writes. SAFE Banking has passed the House seven times, but the Senate has failed to take it up.

In the House this year, however, Republicans are more focused on issues like immigration, investigations including Hunter Biden’s laptop and the 2024 election, Roberts writes.

Cannabis automat

Customers at Aurora dispensary Terrapin Care Station can now buy weed-laced munchies and other cannabis products from a vending machine.

Technically called an Automated Cannabis Experience, the machine allows purchasers to select, pay for and receive marijuana products using a touch screen.

so it complies with state and local regulations. This isn’t the first time vending machines have appeared in Colorado dispensaries.

A machine called Anna was rolled out in several dispensaries in 2020 but soon was taken out because of compliance issues.

Terrapin Care Station currently has the ACE machine only at its East Mississippi Avenue store in Aurora but plans eventually to install it at its five other dispensaries in Denver, Boulder and Longmont, the Post reports.

The companies’ long-term goal is to market the technology to marijuana businesses throughout Colorado and the nation.

‘Crisis of access’

Rollbacks of medical cannabis dispensary and patient rights in Colorado have caused the loss of more than 15,000 patients and are dragging down the entire cannabis industry, a marijuana advocacy group says.

• Make marijuana businesses eligible for Small Business Administration financial assistance such as grants and micro loans;

• Ensure that veterans can receive recommendations and prescriptions for medical use of cannabis from their Veterans Administration doctors; and

• Protect medical marijuana businesses and patients from interference during the federal transition and allow for continued operation under state laws while a new federal framework is established.

Mace first introduced the bill in November 2021 in the House, where it didn’t make it out of committee.

Although Mace supports marijuana law reform,

The dispensary developed what it’s calling the first fully automated cannabis kiosk on the market in partnership with BMC Universal Technologies, a Canadian vending machine company, according to a Feb. 9 article in The Denver Post. Terrapin Care Station installed it in early February.

Customers still have to check in to the store and show proof that they’re 21 or older. Once you’re in, you can order through a budtender or use the machine by scanning your ID. You then can choose from products stored in a refrigerated compartment, including flower, edibles and vape oil cartridges. The machine lets you watch through a glass window while the machine grabs, bags, seals and labels your order.

At present, customers have to pay in cash once their purchase is dispensed. The machine is integrated with Colorado’s marijuana tracking system,

In its 2022 State of the States report, which analyzes medical marijuana access in the United States, Americans for Safe Access gives Colorado a C+, indicating the state requires substantial improvement in one or more areas concerning patient access.

The grading scale is based on a comparison with rights and protections allowed under a traditional health care system.

Colorado legislators and Gov. Jared Polis have “presided over the single worst rollback of medical cannabis and patient rights that ASA has ever witnessed in this country,” the report states.

Colorado has allowed operators to redesignate medical products for recreational sale, inflated program-related fees for patients and forced patients to go through additional rounds of physician certifications, the report says.

ASA recommends that legislators make it a priority to repeal the policies that have damaged the medical program before they “create a crisis of access and health equity.”

It’s certainly more challenging under Republican rule.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I suspect that arrivederci and au revoir and sayōnara will overlap with birth cries and welcomes and initiations in the coming days. Are you beginning or ending? Leaving or arriving? Letting go or hanging on? Here’s what I think: You will be beginning and ending; leaving and arriving; letting go and hanging on. That could be confusing, but it could also be fun. The mix of emotions will be rich and soulful.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Aries director Francis Ford Coppola was asked to name the year’s worst movie. The question didn’t interest him, he said. He listed his favorite films, then declared, “Movies are hard to make, so I’d say, all the other ones were fine!” Coppola’s comments remind me of author Dave Eggers’: “Do not dismiss a book until you have written one, and do not dismiss a movie until you have made one, and do not dismiss a person until you have met them.” In accordance with astrological omens, Aries, your assignment is to explore and embody these perspectives. Refrain from judging efforts about which you have no personal knowledge. Be as open-minded and generous as you can. Doing so will give you fuller access to halfdormant aspects of your own potentials.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Artist Andy Warhol said, only half in jest, “Being good in business is the most fascinating kind of art. Making money is art, and working is art, and good business is the best art.” More than any other sign, Tauruses embody this attitude with flare. When you are at your best, you’re not a greedy materialist who places a higher value on money than everything else. Instead, you approach the gathering of necessary resources, including money, as a fun art project that you perform with love and creativity. I invite you to ascend to an even higher octave of this talent.

PUZZLE ANSWERS

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You are gliding into the Season of Maximum Volition, Autonomy, and Liberty. Now is a favorable time to explore and expand the pleasures of personal sovereignty. You will be at the peak of your power to declare your independence from influences that hinder and limit you. To prepare, try two experiments. 1) Act as if free will is an illusion. It doesn’t exist. There’s no such thing. Then visualize what your destiny would be like. 2) Act as if free will is real. Imagine that in the coming months you can have more of it at your disposal than ever before. What will your destiny be like?

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The ethereal, dreamy side of your nature must continually find ways to express itself beautifully and playfully. And I do mean “continually.”

If you’re not always allowing your imagination to roam and romp around in Wonderland, your imagination may lapse into spinning out crabby delusions. Luckily, I don’t think you will have any problems attending to this necessary luxury in the coming weeks. From what I can tell, you will be highly motivated to generate fluidic fun by rambling through fantasy realms. Bonus! I suspect this will generate practical benefits.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t treat your allies or yourself with neglect and insensitivity. For the sake of your mental and physical health, you need to do the exact opposite. I’m not exaggerating! To enhance your wellbeing, be almost ridiculously positive. Be vigorously nice and rigorously kind. Bestow blessings and dole out compliments, both to others and yourself. See the best and expect the best in both others and yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Is there a bug in the sanctuary of love? A parasite or saboteur? If so, banish it. Is there a cranky monster grumbling in the basement or attic or

bring this to your attention, Aquarius, because I believe now is a good time to rebel against conventional wisdom, escape from experts’ opinions, and formulate your own unique perspectives about pretty much everything. Be like Valerie Tarico and me.

closet? Feed that creature chunks of raw cookie dough imbued with a crushed-up Valium pill. Do you have a stuffed animal or holy statue to whom you can spill your deep, dark, delicious secrets? If not, get one. Have you been spending quality time rumbling around in your fantasy world in quest of spectacular healings? If not, get busy. Those healings are ready for you to pluck them.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): There’s a weird magic operating in your vicinity these days — a curious, uncanny kind of luck. So while my counsel here might sound counter-intuitive, I think it’s true. Here are four affirmations to chant regularly: 1) “I will attract and acquire what I want by acting as if I don’t care if I get what I want.” 2) “I will become grounded and relaxed with the help of beautiful messes and rowdy fun.” 3) “My worries and fears will subside as I make fun of them and joke about them.” 4) “I will activate my deeper ambition by giving myself permission to be lazy.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): How many people would fight for their country? Below I list the countries where my horoscopes are published and the percentage of their populations ready and willing to take up arms against their nations’ enemies: 11 percent in Japan; Netherlands, 15 percent; Italy, 20 percent; France, 29 percent; Canada, 30 percent; US, 44 percent. So I surmise that Japanese readers are most likely to welcome my advice here, which is threefold: 1) The coming months will be a good time to cultivate your love for your country’s land, people and culture, but not for your country’s government and armed forces. 2) Minimize your aggressiveness unless you invoke it to improve your personal life — in which case, pump it up and harness them. 3) Don’t get riled up about vague abstractions and fear-based fantasies. But do wield your constructive militancy in behalf of intimate, practical improvements.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): By the time she was 33, Sagittarian actor Jane Fonda was famous and popular. She had already won many awards, including an Oscar. Then she became an outspoken opponent of America’s war in Vietnam. Some of her less-liberal fans were outraged. For a few years, her success in films waned. Offers didn’t come easily to her. She later explained that while the industry had not completely “blacklisted” her, she had been “greylisted.” Despite the setback, she kept working — and never diluted her political activism. By the time she was in her forties, her career and reputation had fully recovered. Today, at age 84, she is busy with creative projects. In accordance with astrological rhythms, I propose we make her your role model in the coming months. May she inspire you to be true to your principles even if some people disapprove. Be loyal to what you know is right.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Charles V (1500–1558) had more than 20 titles, including Holy Roman Emperor, King of Spain, Archduke of Austria, and Lord of the Netherlands. He was also a patron of the arts and architecture. Once, while visiting the renowned Italian painter Titian to have his portrait done, he did something no monarch had ever done. When Titian dropped his paintbrush on the floor, Charles humbly picked it up and gave it to him. I foresee a different but equally interesting switcheroo in your vicinity during the coming weeks. Maybe you will be aided by a big shot or get a blessing from someone you consider out of your league. Perhaps you will earn a status boost or will benefit from a shift in a hierarchy.
