WHO’S GAIN? TO

Former Club Q workers and its owner are in a dispute over donations

BY GRETA ANDERSON JOHNS | gajohns@sixty35media.org | PHOTOS BY BRYAN OLLER

WHEN ASHTIN GAMBLIN opened a can of Red Bull last week, it was a milestone.

Gamblin was shot nine times while working the front door during the attack on Club Q in November. She was hit in both of her arms and her left breast and still struggles with the basics — using her hands, fingers and wrists — because of nerve damage in her arms.

“It’s been a very long and difficult road, because I can’t do things that normal people can do,” Gamblin tells Sixty35

She also struggles with survivor’s guilt knowing that Daniel Aston, one of the club’s beloved bartenders who was working beside her, didn’t make it. Aston was one of five people killed by the gunman, who prosecutors believe was motivated by hate for the LGBTQ community.

There’s a seemingly endless list of additional

care Gamblin needs and costs she faces because of the attack. And in its immediate aftermath, there appeared to be multiple endeavors meant to take care of victims financially: through online crowdfunding efforts, charity events and sanctioned fundraisers that were set up for that purpose. The Club Q tragedy led to people across the country donating millions of dollars to support those affected by the attack.

But some victims are saying they’ve had to jump through hoops to get those funds — and oftentimes, they’ve been denied them, according to Gamblin, family members of those killed and injured, and former Club Q employees and contractors. They’re speaking out against what they say are organizations and individuals “gatekeeping” money intended for them.

The survivors — people who were present and/or hurt the night of the attack, their families and those who lost work and income as a result — have specifically denounced the Colorado Healing Fund, which is the officially sanctioned fundraiser for those affected by the attack, and Club Q owner Matthew

There’s not really time to cope right now.

Ashtin Gamblin, a Club Q survivor, and her husband Ryan

$55,000 raised through a GoFundMe set up by Haynes on Nov. 28, in part “to ensure the Club Q staff and entertainers don’t suffer financial hardship due to this horrific act.” CHF, which collected $2.2 million for the survivors, claims that it has paid for nearly every attack-related cost for which survivors applied.

But Gamblinhas been struggling to secure the financial help she believes she was promised while going through a difficult recovery. She can’t work her fulltime job without functioning hands, and she faces a consistent stream of new bills.

Gamblin is in physical therapy and psychological therapy and has hired an in-home caregiver for when her husband Ryan — a U.S. Army sergeant stationed at Fort Carson — is at work. Her wedding rings, family heirlooms, were somehow lost at the hospital after the attack, and she’s fought with both the hospital and CHF about who’s financially responsible.

She’s still trying to get her 3-monthold hospital bill covered, since Tricare won’t pay it and workers’ compensation hasn’t yet. Then there’s the cost of the home security system that helps curb her severe anxiety.

Club Q owner Haynes was criticized after announcing on Feb. 13 that he would distribute the GoFundMe money using a formula based on how much staff on payroll and independent contractors — who are primarily producers and drag performers — made before the club shut down. They were each given three months’ worth of the monthly average they made at Club Q, according to Haynes, who believes it was the fairest

way to split the funds that he’s not using for club renovations, including a memorial to the victims and enhanced security.

Several workers received deposits on Feb. 15, but say it was only a small fraction of the total amount raised. As a group, they had demanded they get 75 percent of the fund and be able to determine how it’s distributed amongst themselves.

Gamblin tells us she’s gotten a “measly” $732 total in workers’ compensation checks since the Nov. 19 attack, and received $981 from the $55,000-plus GoFundMe — “$109 per bullet” that entered her body, she says.

And according to Hysteria Brooks, a producer who performed drag at Club Q for two years, less than $10,000 of the fund had been distributed to workers as of our press deadline on Feb. 16. (Haynes would not confirm the total figure with us and says it’s not “relevant,” but claimed it’s “certainly greater than that figure they’re using.”)

The entertainers who we reached received less than Gamblin under Haynes’ chosen disbursement fomula. They had signed agreements with a company called COS Entertainment Ltd., which is owned by former Club Q co-owner Nic Grzecka, and has the same mailing address as Club Q in state business records.

The contract, shared with Sixty35 by Tiara Latrice Kelley, who produced a drag show for Club Q shortly before the shooting, states that contractors earn $3 for each “entertainment fee” (cover) the club collects on the night they perform, with a max of 80 fees per night. That means the maximum they could earn in one night was $240, plus tips, Kelley says.

CHF has been an additional hurdle for Gamblin. Reimbursement requests have led to arguments over who’s responsible for the costs (like Gamblin’s wedding rings, since it’s believed to be the hospital that lost them.) Adriana Vance, the mother of Raymond Green Vance, who was killed in the attack, says she’s struggled to get his funeral expenses paid.

“If they deem something isn’t covered, you have to argue with them, and essentially re-victimize yourself as to why that should be covered,” Gamblin says.

Jordan Finegan, executive director of CHF, claims that “99.9 percent” of reimbursement and direct payment requests have been covered. Funds have been distributed to about 83 people affected by the Club Q attack, she says, including victims, their families and former workers.

“We always look to, if the request is around the victimization and connected to what happened, and mostly everything has been paid for,” Finegan tells Sixty35. “There’s maybe like two things [that haven’t been covered]. But I can’t get into specifics around those because [of] confidentiality.”

BECAUSE OF THEIR CHALLENGES, BROOKS, Kelley, Gamblin, Vance and other survivors are working with Bread and Roses Legal Center, a social justice-centered law and advocacy firm, which is helping them navigate the various funds and amplifying their demands that Haynes and CHF release the funds they believe they should receive. (Z Williams, Bread and Roses’ director of client support and operations, says the center is not representing survivors regarding their legal claims.)

Haynes in particular “has been prioritizing the idea of his business over the people that made his business something special,” Williams says. “Club Q is just a bar. It’s the people that were there — that performed there, that ran the bar, that built that community — who made it something special.”

Haynes’ GoFundMe description does state that funds will “go towards the total remodel of Club Q, the construction of an appropriate memorial for our victims and a small museum onsite.” But multiple Club Q workers and Erika Unger, Bread and Roses’ director of legal services, tell Sixty35 employees and contractors understood the fund to be meant primarily for them, and say they received assurances of that from Haynes in the aftermath of the shooting.

Haynes says the club has been consistent with how it’s characterized the use of the GoFundMe, and claims those upset about the distribution are a small minority attacking him.

The club is rehiring three staff members with some

of the money, to work towards the club’s reopening, he says. The funds not used for current or former workers under Haynes’ disbursement formula will be spent on renovating the space where queer people in the Springs felt safe to be themselves, or may have met their partners, he tells Sixty35. It’s important to the local LGBTQ community that he restores that, he says.

“The easiest thing of course, would be for us to not reopen, but that is not an option,” Haynes says. “I need Club Q for myself; my friends need Club Q; my partner needs Club Q; my son, that is just turning 21, that came out gay — he needs Club Q. There’s somebody sitting there right now who’s not of age, and 10 years now, will need Club Q. Because unfortunately, parents still — family members and communities — still do not support [LGBTQ people] unequivocally.”

But Haynes has also downplayed the impact that the attack has had on people like Brooks, who weren’t present when the shooting took place, but are still finding it difficult to go back to their day jobs because of emotional trauma.

Haynes doesn’t consider them valid “victims,” he says, the sentiment shared by National Compassion Fund, a major donation organization for mass casualty events (although CHF considers anyone affected by the shooting, including any worker who lost wages, to be a victim.) Haynes says they’re trying to “money grab.”

“The loudest that are attacking don’t meet any of that criteria, but are doing their best to be victims and receive money for that. Which again, I find unfortunate,” Haynes says.

“...People that were shot have returned back to their jobs,” he says. “People that were in the building, and were true victims, with all that they’ve seen — they’ve returned back to work.”

Brooks says she’s now in therapy and on medication because of the attack. “Does he expect everybody to just be right back to normal after walking over our friends’ dead bodies, or trying to plug bullet wounds while waiting for police?” she says, adding she’s advocating for more GoFundMe money for people like Gamblin, who have a mountain of bills that haven’t been covered by other funds.

“It’s absolutely disgusting,” Brooks says, that Haynes is acting as arbiter of “who is more traumatized than the next person.”

THE WIRE

With city councilors Nancy Henjum and Mike O’Malley, Mayor John Suthers laughs as he holds a cellphone with City Councilor Wayne Williams on the other end up to a microphone during the signing of a ceremonial document Feb. 17. City staff improvised the call when they couldn’t make an audio connection during a video conference with Williams, who was in Washington, D.C., at the time. The ceremony had to do with the passing of Ordinance No. 23-02., which will create and maintain a buffer for the city’s current water supply. It states the city must have 128 percent of the water necessary to sustain current usage and the additional supply required to serve an annexed property. It passed City Council Feb. 14 by a 5-4 City Council vote.

CC ANNOUNCES NEW FINE ARTS CENTER DIRECTOR

After a nationwide search, Colorado College named Nicole Herden the new executive director of the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center. CC employed international search firm WittKieffer alongside a committee comprised of local leadership to fill the role, which was vacated by playwright and poet Idris Goodwin in June 2022.

CC says that in the executive director role, Herdon will “serve as a key constituent in CC strategic planning, advocating for the FAC as a unique entity within CC, and overseeing the growth of 50 staff members and another 50 temporary employees.”

Herdon previously held the position of executive director of the Museum of Nebraska Art where she was an effective fundraiser, spearheaded community outreach and took on managerial overhauls. Before that, she accumulated extensive curatorial experience across the Mountain West. In Phoenix, she curated the Phoenix Art Museum and the Arizona State University Art Museum, earning her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Arizona and Master of Arts from Arizona State University. In Boise, she served as curator at the Boise Art Museum where she acquired her Master of Fine Arts from Boise State University.

SALES TAX REVENUE RISES

Sales and use tax revenue in Colorado Springs rose 2.34 percent in January and increased 7.19 percent for the year to date, according to the city Finance Department’s monthly report released Feb. 16.

Collections of the 2 percent sales and use tax remitted to the city in January amounted to $24,646,593. January collections represent business activity in December 2022 and also include delinquent filings. Sales and use tax revenue supports city operations such as police, fire, street repairs and parks maintenance.

Industries with the largest monthly percentage increase in revenue include restaurants (16.85 percent), miscellaneous retail (11.11 percent) and utilities (7.75 percent).

Collections of the 0.1 percent Trails, Open Space and Parks tax netted $1,232,330 in January, a 2.34 monthover-month increase and a year-to-date increase of 7.19 percent.

Collections of the combined 2 percent Lodger’s Tax and 1 percent Auto Rental Tax, which are used to attract visitors and enhance the city’s economy (see below), totaled $513,245 in January, down 1.49 percent for the month, but up 15.33 percent for the year to date.

Revenue from the city’s 0.4 public safety sales and use tax amounted to $4,929,319 in January, increasing 2.34 percent month-over-month and 7.19 percent for the year to date.

Colorado received about $86 million from the Infrastructure Law to address emerging contaminants like per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in drinking water in the state. This funding will be available to communities through the EPA’s Emerging Contaminants in Small or Disadvantaged Communities Grant Program and will promote access to safe and clean water in small, rural and disadvantaged communities while supporting local economies.

Via CORA request, Sixty35 has obtained the 21 applications for the mid-cycle disbursement of Colorado Springs’ Lodging and Auto Rental Tax. Applicants are vying for a slice of the $1.3 million excess that the tax collected, focusing on local events to attract visitors and provide economic and cultural benefit to the region. Requesting amounts upwards of $250,000, applicants include a pair of New Year’s Eve parties, the 2023 World Jump Rope Competition, the Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo Parade, a bicycle race event and the city of Colorado Springs, which sought additional funds for park improvements, among others.

Through the end of March, a contractor is installing conduit along Manitou Avenue from El Monte Place to El Paso Boulevard in Manitou Springs. This will finish approximately 1.8 miles of conduit connectivity. Once the conduit is installed, the contractor, Morton Electric of Pueblo, will pull the fiber-optic cable through. The project’s total cost is $295,000; $200,000 of that comes from the American Rescue Plan, with $50,000 from the city and $45,000 from the Pikes Peak Rural Transportation Authority.

Wing AND A Prayer

By Pam Zubeck || pzubeck@sixty35media.org

WHEN

MARK COWART STARTED

attending a church on the city’s Westside 40 years ago, he likely didn’t fathom that he’d become its long-serving senior pastor — and oversee the acquisition of aircraft on the church’s behalf.

Now, Cowart’s path could lead him into an El Paso County courtroom where he’d be called upon to prove Church For All Nations’ claims that COS Owners Association, a hangar group, and local contractor Hoag Construction have unfairly blocked the church from building a hangar to house its airplanes.

Church For All Nations filed the lawsuit two years ago, alleging that despite CFAN shelling out more than $400,000 since 2008, it still has no hangar, allegedly because Hoag and COSOA made unreasonable demands on the church.

COSOA, which leases the pad site from Colorado Springs Airport, and Hoag dispute that claim, saying the church has no written agreement securing the pad site for its use and isn’t allowed to build there unless it pays Hoag $240,000 for past site prep work performed about a decade ago for the association.

Those issues will be up to a jury to decide.

But the case has brought to light the church’s ownership of aircraft, which has caught some church members unaware of that investment, and the lawsuit, and they’re asking questions.

As one member tells Sixty35 news magazine via email, “So what gives? Is our Church in the airplane hangar business? If so, why and who approved this endeavor?”

Cowart’s actions regarding planes and the hangar led Sixty35 to unearth a series of land deals that he and his wife, Linda, who’s also a senior pastor at the church, have been involved in, not only in Colorado Springs but in other states.

Moreover, despite its nonprofit status prohibiting engagement in political matters, the church has become increasingly involved in public life, such as efforts to influence school boards. (See sidebars.)

All that said, nationally known televangelists Kenneth Copeland and Jesse Duplantis own expensive aircraft, according to media reports.

Yet, Sixty35, using Federal Aviation Administration registration records, couldn’t find any aircraft registered to other local churches.

And while Copeland, for one, owns a Gulfstream V — which could cost $13 million or more and carries 12 passengers — CFAN’s aircraft are more modest.

One might be a Beech C23 and the other a Cessna 310, each of which can be purchased for $120,000 to $220,000, according to online marketplaces.

But building a hangar could run into the millions. The lawsuit raises lots of questions, but Sixty35 is unable to report some answers, because Cowart and CFAN board members, one of whom is a prominent developer, didn’t respond to multiple requests for comment.

CHURCH FOR ALL NATIONS STARTED IN

1979 as Grace Fellowship church and now has two sites attended by hundreds if not thousands of people. The church is involved in missions in other countries, according to its website and materials distributed to those who attend.

Upcoming trips this year will take parishioners to Peru, Guatemala, the Middle East and a Native American reservation in Wyoming.

It’s unclear if the airplanes owned or controlled by CFAN ferry members to those locations. It’s also unclear who pilots the planes. Mark Cowart, 64, is a registered student pilot as of March 7, 2022, with a notation by the FAA of “carrying passengers is

prohibited.” His son, David Cowart, is a licensed private pilot for single- and multi-engine aircraft.

FAA records show the church has owned several aircraft over the years.

• I n October 2006, it owned a Gates Learjet that seats eight and has two engines. Ownership transferred in 2008 to COS LLC, which later transferred the plane to another owner.

• In September 2022, the church owned a Cessna 310, which was transferred in January 2023 to COS LLC.

• COS LLC acquired a Beechcraft 60 Duke in October 2012.

• COS LLC also owns a Beechcraft C23.

COS LLC is tied to the church via Wayne Pendleton. He either has filed documents on behalf of entities tied to the church or serves as registered agent for entities that file reports with the Colorado Secretary of State, using the church’s addresses and names.

Those include Food For All Nations Inc., CCCS THC Inc., CFN THC Inc., and Mark Cowart Ministries LLC, to name a few.

Also, Pendleton’s wife, Willa, provides instruction at the church.

In 2011, Pendleton filed a document with the state for COS LLC, and in 2012 he became registered agent and remains so. The most recent filing, made last summer, lists the LLC’s address as a hangar at Colorado Springs Airport.

It’s unclear exactly what stake the church has in COS LLC, and Cowart and the board members didn’t respond to questions.

Tom Hoag, owner of Hoag Construction, confirmed to Sixty35 that he used to rent hangar space to the church for several of its aircraft.

Those aircraft, listed as having been owned by the church over the years, would represent hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars, according to online aircraft information sites.

Local pilots, who wished not to be named due to

March 2022, alleging it had shelled out $402,403 since 2008 for monthly pad site rent ($80,105), for membership in COS Fuel Depot Inc. ($38,298) and for materials and labor to prepare the pad site for construction of a hangar ($284,000).

CFAN claims that despite a 2013 declaration by the COSOA board to designate Hoag Construction as the hangar developer, the church has the right to hire its own qualified contractor.

However, when CFAN notified the board in 2019 that it wanted to hire someone else, the board and Hoag contended the church could do so only if it paid Hoag $240,000 for prep work done years ago, the lawsuit says. CFAN responded by asking for documentation of those costs.

“Though taken aback by the glaring conflict of interest of Hoag’s ultimatum, Plaintiff repeated its willingness to consider the Hoag Co. claim if reasonably supported by contemporaneous records or other proof,” the lawsuit says. “Hoag agreed to produce supporting documentation but never did so.”

CFAN also alleges that Tom Hoag, who serves as

There is no ‘dark plot,’ as has been rumored... Lee Taylor

The lawsuit seeks relief for breach of good faith and fair dealing, an accounting of the sums Hoag has previously expended to prep the site, enforcement of the church’s rights promised by the defendants, and for Hoag to cease interfering with the church’s contract by “manipulating the board” to prevent the church from building on the pad site.

COSOA RESPONDS TO THE COMPLAINT BY asserting that CFAN wasn’t promised a contract for the pad site.

In a motion for judgment on the pleadings filed Jan. 5, COSOA says the church has no unilateral right to select its own developer contrary to the association’s declaration and that there is no contract to uphold.

Even if the payments made by CFAN established a tenancy, COSOA argues, it would be “at most monthto-month” and not a contract that would allow CFAN to choose its own developer.

“Plaintiff cannot simply manufacture the terms of

an agreement which does not exist,” the motion says. “Without alleging an ownership or possessory right in the real property Plaintiff has no cognizable claim to construct a building on it.”

Moreover, CFAN “has placed the proverbial cart before the horse,” the pleading says, by seeking an order to allow it to build the hangar before it establishes a right to the property upon which it wants to build.

CFAN responded to the motion by saying it paid $284,000 between 2008 and 2010 to the prior developer, COS Business Airpark, for services, material and labor, such as grading, gas lines and the like. Those efforts were suspended in early 2010, it says, “due to financial constraints,” but the church continued to pay monthly rent on the hangar site to the prior developer until March 2012, when those payments were directed to COSOA. The next year, the board declared Hoag as developer for all future hangar projects.

The stalemate that led to the lawsuit stemmed from CFAN being given two “unacceptable options,” the church’s response says: Pay the “unsupported demand” to Hoag for $240,000 or forfeit construction of the hangar.

COSOA HAS A GROUND LEASE WITH THE city of Colorado Springs, which owns the airport property. COSOA subleases portions of that property to subtenants for hangars.

Tim Branaman, a retired airline pilot who’s owned a number of aircraft and has been an association member for 13 years and on its board for 10 years, gave this account of how things evolved:

In 2009, COSOA added property to its lease with the airport, which included the site the church wants to build on. From 2007 to 2012, the church paid money to the previous developer, COS Business Airpark, in efforts to secure a hangar pad site.

In 2013, COSOA designated Hoag as the developer of hangars, which can cost from $250,000 to several million dollars.

More than a decade ago, the prior developer “made a lot of mistakes” in efforts to prepare the land for construction. Due to this, the airport threatened to cancel COSOA’s lease. “It could have been a disaster if that happened,” Branaman says.

Hoag, who has airplanes and a hangar there, stepped in, and “fixed everything,” using money from a special assessment paid by hangar owners at that time. The work included installing infrastructure, such as utilities, fire hydrants and the like. Hoag’s work led the airport to grant COSOA a free year on its lease.

The money Hoag invested is captured when Hoag builds hangars for people who did not contribute to the original overhaul of the site. None of the money paid by the church to the former developer found its way to COSOA or Hoag from 2007 to 2012, Branaman says.

From 2012 to 2020, money paid by the church, about $700 per month, to secure a chance to build on the site went to COSOA as a “fractional lease payment,” and none went to Hoag, he says.

COSOA hasn’t cashed any of the church’s checks, drawn on banks in California and Oklahoma, since January 2021 after the lawsuit was filed, and the board then canceled any option CFAN might have had on the site.

Now, other hangar owners are making a run at the board. They’re led by Roy Clennan, reportedly the owner of an aviation company, who has acquired multiple existing hangars with the apparent strategy of accumulating enough votes among the owners of the 37 hangars to oust the current board of COSOA,

put an end to the lawsuit and allow CFAN to build its hangar using another contractor.

In his emailed message to members earlier this month, Branaman recaps the events dating back more than a decade and notes that “businesses do not keep receipts and documentation forever,” but that Hoag subsequently hired Art C. Klein Construction to evaluate his infrastructure work. That review pegged the value at $1.5 million.

He also noted in the message that besides performing all that work, Hoag volunteered to run the association without pay for 4½ years.

“This is only one example of the many things that Tom Hoag has done over the years to benefit this complex,” Branaman wrote.

He also noted to members that CFAN never had a contract with COSOA.

LEE TAYLOR, WHO WORKS FOR CLENNAN and manages a series of entities he hopes will help oust the board, wrote a response to Branaman’s message to members, saying he was writing “on behalf of Church For All Nations” and in his capacity as manager for various LLCs that own hangars.

Alleging that “many odd and untrue things” have been said, Taylor asserted the church never wanted to file a lawsuit but that actions by the board and Hoag “made it necessary” and that Hoag and the board have not responded to an offer made in December 2022 to settle the lawsuit.

Taylor maintained that most members oppose the board’s actions in preventing the church from building the hangar and that electing a new board would “save tens of thousands of dollars, in legal fees and trial preparation costs.”

Accusing Branaman of “factual errors” in his message to members, Taylor wrote that Hoag has already recovered $1.4 million from his site work, and argued that CFAN’s demand for documentation of those expenses was therefore “perfectly reasonable.”

Asked about that, Hoag denied having a conflict of interest and the claim that he already recovered $1.4 million from his site work. “That is absolutely false,” he says.

Taylor, on behalf of CFAN and others, says the COSOA members want to oust the board and install new directors who will adopt rules that allow members to vote based on the square footage of hangars they control.

“The proposed change to the bylaws gives each

owner the same influence over the expenditures of the Association, and election and removal of directors, as the proportion of the square footage they own, regardless of whether one or more entities owns the hangars,” Taylor wrote. “Keep in mind this is how the bills of the association are paid — those who own more square footage pay a proportionally higher percentage of all operating costs.”

Taylor also addressed the claim that recent purchases of additional hangars were designed to tilt the balance of power among COSOA members.

The hangars were acquired “out of a need for space, plain and simple. We are growing constantly. There is no ‘dark plot,’ as has been rumored, behind these purchases,” he wrote.

He closed by saying that replacing the current board “with leaders who will solicit input from the membership, act on that input, and implement best practices for transparency in nonprofits will lead to a speedy termination of the current suit.”

A special meeting called to determine the board’s way forward, which took place on Feb. 16, failed to result in removing the existing board.

According to some who attended, those who had required CFAN to pay $240,000 to Hoag prevailed.

The trial is slated to begin March 13, barring any other development.

Upward bound

Hundreds of people raise their arms. Some close their eyes and sway, as if in a trance.

The band onstage — seven or eight strong — leads them in song, such as the opening tune, “Our God Reigns.”

Soon, this Christian flock’s leader appears onstage, and on two huge screens, to deliver about 40 minutes of instruction in the teachings of Jesus Christ and other matters.

That leader, Mark Cowart, has come a long way from his days doing janitorial work there to serving as senior pastor of Church For All Nations, where he draws thousands of worshippers each week and speaks of “the last end time.”

Cowart’s church domain has expanded to include two locations in Colorado Springs as well as his involvement in the ministries of others, notably the televangelist Andrew Wommack, who’s based in Woodland Park.

Going back 40 years, Cowart was a high school grad looking for his place in the world.

As he explains in an online video message, his grandmother predicted he would become a minister when he was 14 as they sat on his grandparents’ porch in Texas. It surprised him, but, “Lo and behold, as I began to hunger and thirst for the things of God, I began to recognize the call on my life,” he says in the video.

“I showed up at the church we’re now pastoring,” he continues. “I started attending in 1983. And I just said, ‘Is there anything I can do to

help?’ So they had me do janitorial. They went on a staff retreat, and I watched the phones for them, and over time, the Lord began to just fit me into the body. And so then there was a change of pastors from the founding pastor.”

The same month he and his wife married, January 1985, they became associate pastors at the church and were named senior pastors in 1987, he says.

Started as Grace Fellowship in 1979 in a home on the city’s Westside, the church incorporated in 1988 under Cowart’s leadership and changed its name to Church For All Nations in 2001.

”All of a sudden, it began to grow,” Cowart says in the video. “It began to explode.”

As membership expanded, the church built a new facility at 6540 Templeton Gap Road roughly 20 years ago; it also has a location at 2188 Executive Circle Drive called Christ Church of Colorado Springs.

Spreading wings

Cowart, too, has branched out. He’s written books, including Army of God Rising

He’s director of the Practical Government School at Charis Bible College in Woodland Park and has been a featured speaker at Andrew Wommack Ministries, which runs the college.

He also serves on the board of directors of the Truth & Liberty Coalition, which defines itself on its website as “a 501(C)(4) non-profit” that

was set up by Wommack and other Christian “leaders” to “seek to educate, unify and mobilize believers in Jesus Christ to affect the reformation of nations through the seven mountains of cultural influence.” Those seven areas are family, religion, education, media, entertainment, business and government.

501(c)(4) organizations are exempt from federal income tax, but donations made to it are not tax-deductible, because such groups are allowed to engage in political lobbying and political campaigns, including donating to political committees that support or oppose ballot measures, bond issues, recalls or referenda. However, 501(c)4 groups cannot make direct contributions to candidates, and political activity cannot constitute their prime activity.

(Nonprofits exempt from federal taxes and to which donations are tax-deductible are called 501(c)3s.)

Last September, 3,500 people packed into a Charis facility for a Truth & Liberty Coalition event to hear Wommack declare, “America was founded to be a Christian nation.”

Among the coalition’s “influencers,” as stated on its website, are Reps. Doug Lamborn (R-Colorado Springs) and Lauren Boebert (R-Rifle), TV personality Glenn Beck, failed Colorado Republican gubernatorial candidate Heidi Ganahl, and Jay Sekulow, former President Don-

ald Trump’s personal lawyer.

Cowart’s Truth & Liberty bio says he seeks to fulfill Matthew 28:18-20 — “Go then and make disciples of all nations.”

Church For All Nations is involved in the coalition by offering “Culture Impact Teams Information,” such as how to start a team and what the teams’ objectives are. CFAN’s team has adopted the Christian Right’s education issues in Colorado Springs, as previously documented by Sixty35 . [See: “D20 superintendent to retire; ‘book ban’ battle reaches fever pitch” — tinyurl. com/3e66eca9 and “Skewed Search?” — tinyurl.com/yckn53vj

Now, it’s calling members’ attention to city politics by hosting a City Council candidates forum on Feb. 22 at its Templeton Gap auditorium.

Though the church’s articles of incorporation as a 501(c)3 religious organization state it “shall NOT [emphasis not added] engage in any political activity” in violation of the IRS code for 501(c)3s, Cowart has been forthright about his desire to be involved in politics. He’s hosted events called “Breaking the Silence” to explain how elections affect the country, and told a Gazette reporter in August 2016, “I am voting for Donald Trump.”

Cowart also serves on at least one other nonprofit board outside the church. Called Koome Ministries, it’s based in Monument and seeks

to “wake up, educate, and train the Christian and Jewish communities on the impending dangers of Islam...,” according to its IRS filings.

Cowart has served as Koome’s secretary/treasurer since at least 2011, with Wayne Pendleton, who has ties to CFAN, serving as a director. From 2011 to 2020, Koome Ministries, which reported assets in 2020 of less than $15,000, gave CFAN more than $159,000.

Mission call

Besides taking part in projects at the Wind River Indian Reservation in Wyoming, Church For All Nations engages in transcontinential missions, including in Peru, the Middle East and the What Matters Ministries & Missions in Casa Angelina, Guatemala, which helps educate children and house elderly women.

Land deals: 3 states, 35 years

Mark Cowart and his wife, Linda, longserving senior pastors at Church For All Nations, have been active in the real estate market, not only here but in other states.

Generally speaking, they parlayed the rising value of homes they acquired here into more expensive real estate, paying off loans early as they moved on to their next property, according to El Paso County land records. (All dates reported here reflect the dates documents were filed with the Clerk and Recorder’s Office.)

The Cowarts have bought 11 homes in El Paso County since their first purchase in 1988 of a 1,200-square-foot bi-level home at 4085 Harbor Place. They paid $88,000 (borrowing roughly $96,000 from two lenders; one of the loans was to fund “carpet and linoleum”), and sold the property in 1995 for $115,000.

They then built a 2,600-square-foot home northeast of the city at 9910 Tomahawk Trail, buying the land in 1993 for $27,000 and later borrowing $151,200. They sold it in 1999 for $328,000.

They bought four more properties — one in Monument; one they later sold to Church For All Nations; a homesite; and a home in Stetson Hills they later sold to their son, David.

Luxury living

“I always make sure in our mission giving, it included widows and children,” Cowart told congregants during a recent Sunday service.

Cowart also complained about the growing influence of Satan in today’s world, citing the appearance of Sam Smith and Kim Petras during the Grammy awards, performing their hit song “Unholy” in which the nonbinary singer and transgender performer, respectively, dressed in red outfits with horns. The performance, the New York Post reported, drew complaints to the Federal Communications Commission as being “anti-Christian.”

Cowart called it “evil” and “a perversion.”

“Once they stayed in the closet,” he said. “And it’s out in the open now.”

He also bemoaned protests that have arisen across the country for various causes that he said are “funded by very wicked people,” and asserted that “after school Satan clubs” have formed.

Cowart blamed all of that, in part, on Christians themselves. “The reason we have all of these issues going on in America is the church has allowed it,” he said. But now, he said, it’s time for the church to “stop fooling around” and get “all hands on deck” to battle evil forces. “Arm yourself with the will of Christ,” he said. “Darkness flees at the sight of light.”

He then warned, “We are seeing signs of these being the last of the last days.”

The couple then built the priciest home they’ve owned locally, a roughly 7,300-square-foot custombuilt home in Cathedral Pines at 5265 Vessey Road. Records show Linda Cowart paid $385,000 for the 5-acre site in August 2006 and then transferred ownership, using a quit claim deed, to MLCS LLC, an entity controlled by the Cowarts.

They later borrowed $1.5 million and paid that loan off. They then borrowed $1.35 million and sold the house for $1.4 million in August 2018 and paid off that loan.

In May 2012, the couple bought a “second home,” as the deed of trust states, in Green Mountain Falls, paying $208,000. They later deeded the property to MLCS LLC, which sold it in October 2020 for $390,000.

In August 2018, they purchased a four-bedroom, four-bath home on Resplendent Court in Wolf Ranch subdivision for $474,500. Records show they still own that home.

They’ve also bought and sold two other homes locally and did deals in other states.

In Florida:

• 7509 Mourning Dove Circle, a condo in Kissimmee; they purchased it in 2018 for $212,857, giving their address on deeds as 6310 Resplendent Court, Colorado Springs. They borrowed $170,400, and transferred it to the Mark & Linda R Cowart Trust in March 2021, with Wayne Pendleton serving as a witness.

• 7516 Gathering Drive, Reunion; they paid $685,000 and borrowed $548,000 in December 2021, reporting their address on the deed as a Post Office box in Colorado Springs.

• 7465 Gathering Place Loop, Reunion; they paid $195,000 in July 2021 and sold it in January 2022 for $305,000.

In Broken Arrow, Oklahoma:

• 1509 S. 29th Court; they paid $159,500 in mid-2019, deeded it to DSWC LLC, which they control, and sold it for $180,000 two years later.

• 2802 E. Pittsburg St.; they paid $165,500 in August

2019, transferred it to DSWC and sold it two years later for $180,000.

• 1534 S. 31st St.; they paid $163,000 in January 2021, transferred it to DSWC and sold it for $195,000 in March 2022.

Church real estate

The church also has bought and sold property, notably a commercial building at 3716 Galley Road. It was transferred to the church by an individual in 2012 for $10 and sold in early 2014 for $155,000; a third of that was financed by the church. Mark Cowart signed off on the sale and the loan. The property was sold by the new owner in 2016 for $340,000.

The church acquired 106 acres adjacent to NORAD Road near the Cheyenne Mountain Space Force Station, apparently as a gift.

An entity called CCCS LLC, now defunct, controlled by Classic Homes developer Doug Stimple, reportedly a CFAN board member, paid $1.3 million for that property, bought in 2005 from a group of landowners. The property, known as “Bensberg Ranch,” and the water rights were transferred in 2006 at no cost to the Christ Church of Colorado Springs, a branch of Church For All Nations.

In 2017, Christ Church transferred the land at no cost to CCCS THC Inc. Cowart signed that special warranty deed as church president.

CCCS THC Inc. was formed two months earlier by Wayne Pendleton, using the Christ Church address, 2188 Executive Circle Drive. (Pendleton’s name appears on numerous filings with the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office that used the Church For All Nations’ 6540 Templeton Gap Road address.)

CCCS THC’s purpose, articles of incorporation state, is to hold title to property, collect income and turn over the entire amount, less expenses, to the church.

TOUGH CHOICES

Lawmakers working within tight budget constraints

BY JEANNE DAVANT | jdavant@sixty35media.org

LAWMAKERS WHO WOULD LIKE TO KEEP addressing major issues during the 2023 Colorado legislative session — public safety, underfunded education, health care, worker equity, housing and inflation — are facing the tightest budget in recent years.

Proposition 121 — the voter-approved measure that reduced Colorado’s flat income tax rate from 4.55 percent to 4.40 percent, retroactive for tax year 2022 — and some Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights restrictions have limited the budget lawmakers have to work with, says Lindsey Vigoda, Colorado director of Small Business Majority.

“We are realizing this is a building year for the Legislature,” says Vigoda, whose organization advocates for public policy solutions that promote small business growth.

Another good bill, Dazlich says, is SB23-110, Transparency For Metropolitan Districts. That bill aims to bring best practices into the workings of metropolitan districts, which are a key method of expanding housing, he says.

SB23-1, Authority Of Public-private Collaboration Unit For Housing, offers incentives for the development of affordable housing on state-owned properties, Dazlich says.

“We chose to make housing one of our key legislative areas this session,” he says. “We’re looking at bills that incentivize the development of housing, both affordable and attainable.”

The chamber opposes HB23-1090, Limit Metropolitan District Director Conflicts, Dazlich says. This bill would limit certain practices by Metro districts in terms of securing early capital in ways that could be detrimental to developers’ ability to bring market-rate housing online, he says.

HERE ARE SOME OTHER BILLS THAT ARE OF SPEcial interest to business advocates and their members:

• SB23-66: Advanced Industry Acceleration Programs. This bill extends for 10 years an advanced industry (IT, aerospace, energy, etc.) export acceleration program and grant program, scheduled to end in 2025 and 2024, respectively. The recent announcement by Entegris of its intention to invest $600 million and provide about 500 additional jobs “is exactly the kind of program that can qualify for some of these grants,” Dazlich says.

• SB23-37: Solicitations Related To Secretary Of State Documents. This bill aims to curb deceptive solicitations that appear to come from a state or local government, Vigoda says. Businesses and nonprofits often receive such solicitations after filing with the Secretary of State, she says.

• H B23-1126: Consumer Reports Not Include Medical Debt Information. This bill would take medical debt off credit scores and consumer reports. “Oftentimes entrepreneurs who have medical debt can’t get small business lending,” Vigoda says. “There are many studies that show that having medical debt is not a good indicator of whether or not someone will pay back their loan. We’re supporting that under the lens of small business owners and entrepreneurs, who don’t need more barriers when it comes to accessing capital.”

• SB23-93: Increase Consumer Protections Medical Transactions. The bill would cap interest on medical debt at 3 percent and make surprise billing a deceptive trade practice. “We have surprise billing laws on the books, but it’s been difficult to enforce them,” Espinoza says.

and for traditions to be born.

We chose to make housing one of our key legislative areas this session.

— Dave Dazlich

• HB23-1112: Earned Income And Child Tax Credits. This bill increases the earned income tax credit for low- and middle-income workers and expands eligibility for, and increases, the child tax credit. Both tax credits “have been proven to help working families and especially women in business, who are often in the caretaker role,” Vigoda says.

• H B23-1006: Employer Notice Of Income Tax Credits. This bill requires employers to notify employees of eligibility for federal and state earned income tax credit or federal and state child tax credits. “These credits are underutilized,” Espinoza says.

• SB23-105: Ensure Equal Pay For Equal Work. This bill clarifies some provisions of the Equal Pay for Equal Work Act, which requires employers to follow specific guidelines for posting job or promotional opportunities and disclose information to employees regarding candidates who are hired, and about career progression requirements. Good Business Colorado hasn’t taken a position on this bill yet but has provided input to help lawmakers make it easier for employers to comply, Espinoza says.

• SB23-17: Additional Uses Paid Sick Leave. This bill clarifies and expands sick leave policy set forth in the state’s FAMLI Act. “These are bills we will look closely at,” Espinoza says.

• H B23-1078: Unemployment Compensation Dependent Allowance. This bill would create a dependent allowance for individuals receiving unemployment compensation. The chamber testified in opposition, Dazlich says. “We think this is an overly expansive approach” and would put additional burdens on the Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund, which was depleted during the pandemic.

• SB23-16: Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction Measures. This sweeping bill requires insurance companies to be transparent about the cost of climate risk, provides a 30 percent tax credit on purchase of electric lawn maintenance equipment and sets interim climate targets — measures that are of great interest to her members, Espinoza says.

UPCOMING LEGISLATION

“We know we’re going to see more housing bills that invite some controversy,” Dazlich says, “especially where land use, zoning and local control is concerned,”

Espinoza says she expects to see a package of bills that deal with safe access to protected health care.

“It pertains to prohibiting deceptive practices to protect patients and providers and to insurance coverage for protected health care,” she says.

“We would like to see good legislation come forward in

MICROCHIP ANNOUNCES $880M COLORADO SPRINGS EXPANSION

Microchip Technology has announced an $880 million expansion to its Colorado Springs manufacturing facility, where it will grow silicon production and develop silicon carbide technologies.

The Colorado Springs Chamber & EDC made the announcement with Microchip on Feb. 17. The silicon technologies giant was approved for state and local incentives of about $47 million for the expansion to its 50-acre campus.

At the announcement, Mayor John Suthers said Microchip’s investment will grow the local economy by an annual average of $144 million, adding up to $1.4 billion over the next 10 years. It will bring 418 additional direct jobs (to its 850 employees already in the Springs) with an average wage of $72,000 — exceeding the current average county wage by about $12,000. It will also support 779 new indirect jobs, he said.

“I am particularly excited to see us return to our high tech industrial roots,” Suthers said. “We are becoming Silicon Mountain once again.”

Microchip is the largest U.S. headquartered supplier of microcontrollers,

with 22,000 employees worldwide and 21 manufacturing locations, half of which are in the United States.

The Chamber & EDC worked with Colorado’s Office of Economic Development and International Trade, Colorado Springs City Council, El Paso County and Colorado Springs Utilities to secure the expansion. OEDIT Executive Director Eve Lieberman said Microchip’s Colorado Springs expansion “falls in line with both state and national priorities to grow and develop a domestic semiconductors ecosystem.”

Kelly Leaverton, the Chamber & EDC’s senior VP of operations, said Microchip is a world leader in smart, secure embedded technologies, with over 120,000 customers across industry, aerospace and defense, communications, automotive and computing.

“Many of you probably do not realize that when you woke up this morning and made coffee, you were probably using a Microchip device in that appliance,” said Rich Simonsic, Microchip’s senior VP of analog power and interface business unit. “When you stepped into your car and used your keyless entry, you were using a Microchip device. Your anti-lock brakes, your seat heaters, your steering wheel heater are all driven by Microchip Technology. ... When you

heard about the Mars Rover running around on Mars, there are over 100 chips from Microchip Technology on that Mars Rover.” Simonsic said Microchip finished 2022 at $8.4 billion in revenue, half of which is generated from U.S. wafer fabs, including the Springs semiconductor production facility.

Lieberman said the investment “builds upon important and thriving relationships. In the wake of the passage of the CHIPS and Science Act, Gov.

[Jared] Polis has placed the attraction and retention of the semiconductor industry companies at the forefront of Colorado’s economic strategy.”

Simonsic said a large part of the $880 million will support development of silicon carbide technology. Without silicon carbide, “you can’t have electric vehicles, electric trains, electric buses, power supplies. The heart of all sustainability programs — in terms of power and energy savings — is silicon carbide.”

Consumers are getting trapped in credit card debt as inflation rises

BY JEANNE DAVANT | jdavant@sixty35media.org

HE CONSUMER FINANCIAL PROTECTION

Bureau is aiming to bring some relief to overburdened credit card customers by reducing late fees. Under current regulations, credit card companies can charge as much as $30 for the first late payment and $41 for subsequent delinquencies.

The CFPB on Feb. 1 proposed a new rule that would limit fees for late payments to $8, end automatic annual inflation adjustments for late fees and cap late fees at 25 percent of the minimum payment the

But with credit card holders struggling with a mountain of debt and interest rates rising, will that make much difference?

“At the margin, you can get into this really terrible cycle where you’re paying late fees, interest is accruing, and you just can never get out from under it,” says Dr. Joe Craig, interim faculty director of the UCCS Economic Forum and chair of the UCCS Department of Economics.

“That’s not what you want in the economy,” Craig says. “You want productive people. So lowering those fees is advantageous to avoid that cycle of someone getting into this crippling debt.”

On the other hand, “it’s not a catch-all fixall,” he says, because credit card debt is rising and so are interest rates on that debt.

“People are late because they’re struggling,” says Dr. Tatiana Bailey, executive director of Data-Driven Economic Strategies, “but the bigger issue is higher interest rates and the fact that people are having to use

MOUNTAIN OF DEBT

Credit card companies collect $12 billion a year in late fees, according to the CFPB. The exorbitant fees some companies charge — even if a payment is made within hours after a deadline — far exceed companies’ costs to collect late payments.

The CFPB is taking comments on the proposed rulemaking through April 3, after which it will issue a

According to the CFPB, lowering over-the-top late fees will help

the millions of Americans who were carrying a total of $925 billion in credit card debt in the third quarter of 2022.

Data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York shows that credit card balances have risen by $121 billion since the third quarter of 2021 — the biggest year-over-year increase in 20 years.

“Americans’ credit card debt stands just $2 billion below the record set in the fourth quarter of 2019, when balances stood at $927 billion,” states a Feb. 15 post on LendingTree. com. “Thanks to rising interest rates, stubborn inflation and myriad other economic factors, it’s likely just a matter of time before credit card balances surpass the 2019 record.”

POST-PANDEMIC PAYBACK

Credit card debt did not increase during the pandemic, Craig says, because the government was providing stimulus payments and people were spending less.

But now, with the end of government handouts and rising inflation, “a lot of people are continuing to finance their lifestyle by using their credit cards,” he says.

Consumers have not lost confidence, which is helping to stave off a recession, he says. But people who were able to save money during the recession may be dipping into their savings, and others are racking up plastic bills.

Bailey says it isn’t surprising that some people are using credit cards or home equity loans to cope with higher prices.

“Savings rates are now down to 3.4 percent [in January 2023] versus 9.1 percent in January of 2020,” she writes in Data-Driven Economic Strategies’ January 2023 Economic Progress Report. “Although delinquencies have only edged up a bit, it’s still concerning to me because savings represent the cushion people have when we have an economic downturn and some layoffs. It’s also concerning because the prime interest rate was up to 7.27 percent in December versus 6.95 percent in November (and 3.25 percent in April 2022). This means consumers are paying more in interest payments.”

Credit card interest rates — which averaged 19.07 percent in Q4 2022, according to LendingTree — follow interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve, though the relationship is not 1 to 1, Craig says.

During the pandemic, “the Fed lowered interest rates down to zero, and at the same time, the government pushed out a ton of funds to businesses and consumers,” he says. “The bill’s got to come due at some point.”

That payback has come in the form of increasing interest rates to slow the economy and curb inflation, and the Fed has indicated we’re in store for one or two more rate raises before rates might start to come down, he says.

“They would like to see inflation down to a consistent 3 or 4 percent,” he said.

STUBBORN INFLATION

Inflation rose by 0.5 percent in January, following a 0.1 percent increase in December, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Feb. 14, and the Consumer Price Index was up 6.4 percent year over year — just 0.1 percent lower than in December.

“That’s almost insignificant in terms of change,” Bailey said. “The thing that’s concerning is that the components of inflation that continue to be the highest are staples — things that people have to buy, like food, gasoline, natural gas to heat their homes, cars and shelter, whether it’s rent or buying a home. People have no choice but to pay these higher prices.

“And it’s not just one or two goods — it’s pretty broadbased. Even clothes went up in January, although usually prices come down after Christmas. The bottom line is that inflation has been pretty stubborn.”

While households that make $300,000 a year can absorb those price increases, people who live paycheck to paycheck are getting hit hard.

“People are using their savings to counter some of these higher prices, and they’re using credit cards,” Bailey says. “If you’re using credit cards to just pay your bills and to buy groceries, you’re digging a deeper hole by also now having to pay more in interest.”

With the possibility of at least a mild recession looming, that’s worrisome, Bailey says.

“I don’t think we’re going to see huge spikes in unemployment, but there’ll be some more layoffs,” she says. “If some of the people who lose their jobs are people who don’t have much savings and are relying

on credit cards, then you start looking at more foreclosures and evictions.”

TIPS TO LOWER DEBT

Credit card holders with high balances may want to take steps to manage their debt. Here’s what financial experts suggest.

• Make a budget and stick to it, WalletHub recommends. Rank your monthly expenses, debt payments and savings, compared with your take-home pay.

• L ook at where you can cut down. That doesn’t necessarily mean giving up things, but finding less expensive ways of doing them. For example, make your latte at home to take to work instead of stopping at Starbucks. “Little things really do add up,” Craig says, “and almost everyone can get by on far less than we do.”

• Use cash whenever possible.

• If you have debt across multiple credit cards, “consolidate and get it into one source if you can,” Craig says. “See if you can negotiate with whoever has the debt.” There are professionals who have more leverage to negotiate with companies — for a fee, of course, but be sure to research companies carefully, because not all are legitimate.

• Build an emergency fund. Try to save gradually so that you have a safety net to fall back on. WalletHub recommends setting aside money every month until you have a year’s worth of after-tax income.

• Improve your credit scores. That can lower the cost of your debt.

• Try the avalanche method: Repay your most expensive debt first. Most people with high credit card debt have multiple balances, Wallet Hub says. If so, put most of your monthly debt payment toward the balance with the highest interest rate and make minimum payments on the rest. Once the most expensive debt is paid off, repeat the process with your remaining cards.

• Evaluate your employment situation. What would it take to find a higher-paying job? Can you acquire more skills to become more marketable? If you’re in good standing at your current place of employment, try asking how you can qualify for a better-paying position. “Employers are still saying they cannot find the talent they need,” Bailey says. “Astute workers should still feel confident enough in the labor market to do some of those creative things.”

Almost everyone can get by on far less than we do.

WHEN YOU’RE SERIOUS ABOUT REAL ESTATE

Founder recalls inspiration for Carnivale event

BY RHONDA VAN PELT | rvanpelt@sixty35media.org

TAKE A VIBRANT STEW OF costumes and masks from Venice, add generous helpings of beads and king cakes from New Orleans, and you’ll end up with the Carnivale Parade in Manitou Springs.

That’s what Arlene Wood did about 30 years ago. She and her husband, Jim, had visited their daughter, who was studying in Italy, and took a side trip to Venice. There, she was smitten by glass masks from the isle of Murano, home to glass artists for centuries.

The Woods bought so many masks, they had to buy an additional suitcase. As they headed for home, Arlene dashed to the airport gift shop and found postcards of festivals in Venice, showing people in gondolas, wearing brightly colored costumes reflected in the Grand Canal.

“This is magical, like nothing I have ever seen before,” she recalls. “I started thinking about our town and how we were looking shabby. We had empty storefronts.”

Decades of PARADES 24

A Carnivale Parade participant, dressed in her best purple, gold and green finery, laughs during the parade along Manitou Avenue on Saturday, Feb. 18.

The longtime social worker and Commonwheel Artists Co-op member pondered the problem and decided she could do something “to help bring people into town to see how wonderful we are.”

Wood started telling people about her idea to throw a festival and everyone leaped on board.

She took a gold bedspread and made ponchos for herself and her husband. About 25 people danced on downtown sidewalks, and a few played their musical instruments. Merchants came out of their businesses to watch and onlookers applauded.

The second year, participation doubled. Soon, the organizers had to get permission to block off streets to traffic so the revelers could take over downtown.

All the parades over the years have kind of blended together for Wood, but so many good memories stand out.

She recalls being partway through painting a butterfly on someone’s face in a shop and a few people ran in and said, “Arlene, you have to come out here.”

“Let me finish this,” she said.

“No, you’ve got to come out now,” they urged.

“So I said, ‘Sorry, I’ll try to get back in.’ And there was a humongous amount of people dressed in costume. … It was thrilling, absolutely thrilling. I never did get back to finish that poor girl’s butterfly.”

She remembers one year, being in the parade as it approached the Manitou Springs Library property at Manitou and Pawnee avenues, where people were lined up on the sloping library lawn as if they were in bleachers.

“They were all over that property, standing and watching the parade. I remember us coming around the corner, and there was this roar. And I was just thrilled,” Wood says.

“It made my heart happy. It made me think, ‘Oh, this is good for the arts, for our people. I hope it gives them a lift.’”

Some of the memories make her heart ache, though. She thinks of all the helpers and participants who have passed away, people like Chris Dysart, Jack Elder and Wayne and Mary Mashburn.

“Those guys have a legacy that I think should be recognized and cherished because they kept it going,” Wood says.

Through the years, others stepped up to help, including longtime Manitou residents Ann Rodgers, Deborah Thornton and Commonwheel mainstay Julia Wright, who fashions beautiful feather masks for paraders. The Manitou Springs Chamber of Commerce took on the organizing a few years ago.

René Young Allen, who created vibrant watercolors for parade posters now on display at Commonwheel, 102 Cañon Ave., was involved in the parade for about 20 years.

“I’m very grateful to Arlene for bringing this joyful dream to life and sharing it with so many. She has encouraged, supported and cheered us on year after year,” she says.

“The Manitou Springs Carnivale Parade is driven by a very enchanting and creative spirit. It has been a pleasure to feel the inspiration of it.”

Allen also mentioned the late Al Laurie, who created the giant puppets that return for every parade, and

“other, very noteworthy creative contributors” such as Jim Roth, Andy Scott and her husband, Blake Allen. Commonwheel member Joy Morauski has known the Wood family for more than 20 years.

“I have worked with Arlene and found her to be a fabulous person. She is very kind, generous and enthusiastic about art and the Manitou community,” Morauski said.

Carol White, who has lived in Manitou for 31 years, says it’s the first place where she’s felt such a strong sense of community.

“Arlene and Jim Wood exemplify that,” she says, “through their participation and involvement.”

The Woods have been married for 56 years. Jim recently went into assisted living, and Arlene has promised that they’ll continue to have adventures.

“I think he felt that his life outside of assisted living was over,” she says. “I’ve been trying to show him that no, your life goes on. And we are still going to be doing special things.”

They were grand marshals in this year’s parade, riding proudly in a carriage, wearing costumes that Arlene created, leading 30-plus krewes and cheered on by people who love what they did for Manitou.

“We were artists,” Wood says, “and we wanted to do something joyful to make our town happy.”

It made my HEART HAPPY.

— Arlene Wood

Giant puppets are always a popular feature of Manitou’s Carnivale.

5 QUESTIONS: RALPH MCCOY

BY AMELIA ALLEN | news@sixty35media.org

ALPH MCCOY IS THE FOUNDER of PHF Design, an air traffic controller and an Army and Air Force vet-

How did you get into design, photography, Design came first. My day job is aviation. I was overseas and someone asked me to design a logo for his business as an entrepreneur. He wanted to open up a pool hall. So I started buying books on design and logos and I watched videos and I ended up designing something — I still have the logo design to this day — I look back and I’m like, “Man, what was I thinking?” Overall, it was a good experience for me to start off designing logos. And from then until now, I’ve improved one hundred percent.

Why did that friend ask you to take the job if you hadn’t had any design experience — and

During my downtime when I was deployed, most people work out, most people go to the gym. I was designing. I remember I had bought a Mac computer and it was more intuitive for designing so I just fell into this whole Mac realm. I bought a stylus, I bought a little tablet to start designing — I would do sketches all the time. He saw me one day just doing some stuff and said, “Hey, you need to design me a logo.” I didn’t get paid for it. But it helped me create some skills and learn the craft. I’m a self-taught [I learned by] doing a lot of reading. I got a Barnes & Noble account that I use often, and of course YouTube. Playing with apps like Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. If you know the apps, it’s pretty easy. Once you have a concept and put it into that, you just start creating stuff.

Where did the photography aspect come in?

I was at work in the United Arab Emirates at the time. I was in the control tower and I was reading a newspaper. In the paper it said, “Become a pitch photographer.” So, not knowing what that was, I googled it. And apparently the FIFA World Cup was coming to Abu Dhabi. So it said, “Answer these questions correctly to win a camera, a lens, and tickets to the FIFA World Cup.” I just submitted my answers and thought nothing of it. Three weeks later someone called to say, “Hey, you won first place. For the pitch.” I was just

jumping for joy. It was like, “Oh, I won something finally in my life!” I won a Sony Alpha and a Carl Zeiss lens. I’d never done photography, other than my smartphone. So I got a chance to pick up the camera and start working with it and then I got my tickets to the World Cup. I was actually escorted in, I went into the pitch area and didn’t know what I was doing. I was just taking photos for my personal use. It was a perfect experience to start off my photography career.

What was it like starting PHF Design, and where did the name come from?

I think I established the name in 2016. Everyone would misspell my name, like “Ralf.” Like “No, it’s ‘ph.’” So that’s why it’s PHF. I’ve been established for about two years now officially, but before I decided to go official I was doing it through word of mouth. It was easy for me because I knew what I was doing; I watched other entrepreneurs get their business licenses. Once again, it was more a self-taught process. I had to figure out how to get my business account, how to invoice people, how to send proposals, contracts, all that stuff. Luckily, with technology, there are apps that can help you do that and will teach you how to do that. I advertise myself as a freelancer mostly through social media and word of mouth, and I’m part of the Colorado Springs Black Chamber of Commerce and the Fountain Valley Chamber of Commerce. When I first got here in 2017, I partnered with a guy named Brandon Bornes. He started a magazine called My Black Colorado. I found him on Facebook and I was like, “Hey man, I heard you’re creating a magazine. Do you need any help?” And he was like, “Yeah, I need you!” So from there, we created a partnership and started working together.

You’re balancing a job in aviation and a freelance business, and you taught yourself these skills while working another job. How did you manage that?

I can balance it pretty well. I’m fortunate enough to have a flexible schedule. This week I work Monday through Thursday, and then I have Friday, Saturday, Sunday [off]. So I have three days that I can actually use for photography work or design work if I need to.

I’ve been doing aviation for almost 20 years. In my job I get paid to wait. So I’m sort of like a firefighter that way — you go to your job and you sit until something happens. There is downtime where no one does anything. During that time you pick up a book, you open your phone, you read a couple articles, you bring your laptop. Some people can’t do that; they have to be engaged in their day job all the time. I’m afforded the ability to read a book during my downtime, or pull up a website or YouTube if I’m struggling in a certain design area.

Manitou Sprin celebrates collab ation and volunteering rough e Manni Awards

One of the special things about Manitou Springs is our community’s willingness to help. Our collaborative spirit is demonstrated in the way all of the city’s important social institutions work together. It is rare to find a town in which diverse entities work together to acknowledge the people who go out of their way to help others and make the town better.

But that’s exactly what the Manni Awards do. Once a year, Manitou Springs has a celebration and potluck dinner to recognize community leaders, volunteers and champions who have given outstanding service and demonstrated the ability to collaborate and inspire others to manifest Manitou’s community vision.

The Manni Awards are given in categories, based on the community visions stated in the town’s master plan. The categories are Artistic Endeavors, Education and Learning, Environmental Stewardship, Business and Economic Vitality, Health and Well-being, Community Champion, Public Service, Movers and Shakers, Youth Visionary Leadership and Adult Visionary Leadership.

This year’s Manni Award sponsors are the City of Manitou Springs; Manitou Springs Chamber of Commerce, Visitors Bureau and Office of Economic Development; Manitou Springs School District 14; Sixty35 Media; Creative Alliance Manitou Springs [CRANE]; and the Manitou Springs Community Foundation. Each year, the awards committee asks the public to nominate people making a positive difference in their neighborhood and town. They look at what has been accomplished by residents, businesses and employees, who through volunteering their time or going above and beyond, use their skills and energy to make things better. They look to those who have spent personal time doing selfless service for Manitou Springs.

This year, 108 nominations came in and the sponsors had the difficult job of selecting 30 finalists. Over the next three weeks, Sixty35 will present photos and short bios of the finalists. They are all winners. Each one is a truly special person who deserves recognition for all they do.

Each year, a different local or regional artist creates a unique design for the Manni Award. This year, the artist is Jim Lummel. Each award will be personalized with the winner’s name and the award category imprinted on the plaque. The 11th annual Manni Awards remind us of the diversity and creativity of our winners through this locally made award.

It is amazing that Manitou Springs can maintain its sense of small-town connection while sharing it with our summertime tourists and larger neighbor to the east. We actively work to respect our differences and to find solutions to our small-town problems and beyond. It takes a lot of listening and compromise to get things done right. Mistakes are often made and corrected. Trust must be grown slowly by working together and helping each other over time. The Manni Award sponsors have learned to do just that, and the process reminds us all that it is the power of the people that keeps Manitou strong.

How SOUR IT IS

STORY AND PHOTOS BY JL FIELDS | jlgoesvegan.com

SEVERAL YEARS AGO WHEN HOSTing a vegan booth at the short-lived Acacia Park farmers market, a friendly fella walked up to say, “I make vegan bread. You should try it.” I did. And that’s how I met Shawn Saunders and became a huge fan of his — and all — sourdough bread. In fact, it inspired me to become an amateur levain aficionado. (Though I cheated and bought a packet of dried sourdough starter.) Six years later, my sourdough starter is still alive and I do love baking with it. Yet I don’t always love staying on top of the care and feeding of it; therefore, it remains in dormancy in my refrigerator for months at a time. Fortunately, Saunders and The Sourdough Boulangerie continue to source bread

included beets, carrots, celery, corn, yellow squash, zucchini, tomatoes, garlic and onion all rolled up in their signature sourdough. They sold out fast.

Turns out, I’ve been missing out on some of the best vegan pizza (and pizza bites) in town.

In baking up 12- and 16-inch pies, the surprise lies in both the crust and the sauce. Sourdough pizza dough is where it’s at! The long fermentation makes a super-crusty bite that’s surprisingly light and airy. Opt for the always-vegan basil pesto (which happens to be nut-free, too) instead of tomato sauce and you’ve got your self a piquant flavor that pairs so well with Saun ders’ vegan cheese of choice: Violife brand (my pref erence at home, too). Ooey gooey plant-based cheese plus a tangy, crunchy crust makes a perfect base for fresh, roasted and pick led veggies — we opt for mushrooms, shallots, olives and artichokes.

LET’S

NOT FORGET, HOWEV-

ensure you get what you need.

I’ve recently discovered that their vegan options go beyond bread. On Saturdays only, you can swing by the bakery for fresh or par-baked pizzas. While scrolling through Facebook one day, I noticed a beautiful picture of their vegan Garden Snails. That particular day, they took all the good old pizza fixins’ and turned them into bite-sized appetizers that

er, that it is a bakery. Plant-based sweet treats with that subtle sour twist range from banana bread and magic bars to brownies and the elusive vegan graham cracker. (Honey is in almost all store brands.) These sugary nibbles deliver a unique flavor, thanks to sourdough’s “wild yeast.” That light and airy texture are what you’re noticing when biting into indulgences that are typically dense and heavy. The banana bread toasts up beautifully for breakfast at home. And those graham crackers? Basically what you’ve been dreaming of when biting into a S’more (yes, Virginia, you can buy vegan chocolate and marshmallows) because they will not crumble, and the tangy flavor lends such a great balance to the fluffy and cocoa sweetness. Of note: A single graham cracker is also divine with a short, bitter shot of espresso. And: Vegan sweets aren’t always found in

Last but never least: the bread. Let’s talk about the obvious: vegan bread? The usual culprit in store-bought bread is milk, whey, casein or ghee. At The Sourdough Boulangerie, the bread is almost always vegan, though there are a few loaves that contain honey or cheese. My go-to loaves and boules are pumpernickel, Jewish rye and the extra sour. Also don’t skip the whole-wheat sourdough hoagie rolls. They don’t just hold whatever goodies you wish to pack in, but the bread stars — and, oh boy, do they make for a sensational homemade vegan Philly cheesesteak, which we enjoyed on Super Bowl Sunday.

I love that The Sourdough Boulangerie consciously caters to vegan customers. This vegan remains a long-time fan.

Fermented flavor’s the name of this bakery’s game, but not everyone knows about their vegan treats

REVERB

BY BRYAN OSTROW | reverb@sixty35media.org

IPUSH THE CASSETTE TAPE INTO THE PLAYer, it clicks, and I press Play. Feedback starts and it goes into absolutely crushing blackened sludge. It sounds heavy, it sounds painful, and most important of all, it sounds real.

Deafening Sounds of Mortality is the debut album from Colorado Springs sludge lords Clarion Void. It’s an album that touches on the deep subject of loss and mortality through heavy, yet beautiful music. Though Clarion Void has been a band for four years now, they are just now unleashing a full-length album on the world — and it’s well worth the wait.

“We work pretty slow,” explains singer/guitarist Greg Mullenax. “This is more of a passion project and we put a lot of time into writing and structuring songs.”

They started recording in March 2021 with Nick Pryor from Pryor Custom Craft and Kalakuta in his Subterranean Lair (AKA his basement). After the band went back to the studio to redo parts, and dealt with personal troubles in life, their album is finally ready and will be released almost two years later, on Feb. 24.

“It did take a while,” says Mullenax. “There was a lot of going back into the studio and changing things we didn’t like. We went in and recorded well over an hour of material all together, a lot of which didn’t end up on the album, and then each member went back individually and did their own isolated recording for each track.

“We do this project for ourselves and don’t have any deadlines or have anyone to answer to. And we certainly don’t support ourselves this way, as we all work fulltime jobs. So if something comes up for a member and they can’t make it to record, nobody is upset. We all just wanted to take our time and make the album we wanted for ourselves and now that it’s out there the world can just have it and enjoy it, or not.”

The album has heavy, brain-crushing sludge along with blast beats, d-beats, and slow, clean parts that really set the mood. There is passion, and sadness, with every

note, which at times feels relatable and almost consoling.

“Deafening Sounds of Mortality comes from our personal experiences with loss over the last couple of years,” explains Mullenax. “Throughout our writing and recording process, each member of the band has lost a friend or a family member to disease, suicide, and murder, which is a big reason it’s also taken so long. We’re all friends first and foremost, and supporting each other through grieving comes before anything with the band. So a lot of the theme is facing our own and others’ mortality.

“I feel like for each of us, playing this loud, aggressive, and sometimes soft music is our way of coping with having to face the fact that our loved ones are destined to die, so it has been very therapeutic to create this, and more relieving than anything to finally put it out into the world.”

Clarion Void will release the album on all major streaming platforms and cassette on Friday the 24th, with a special release show at Vultures the following night, along with Arizona’s Suicide Forest, Kalakuta and Ob Nixilis

THERE’S MORE GOING ON AROUND THIS week, too, starting on Thursday the 23rd with hip-hop at The Black Sheep from Grieves, Mouse Powell, Zach Ivie, Dumb Luck and Affliction Music with #PressPlayDoe. Friday evening celebrate Jordan Rupp’s 21st birthday with a pop punk show, with Jordan’s band Strung Short joined by Sponge Cake and Florissant 719 punk rockers The Sleights will be returning home from tour on Friday with a special show at Fritzy’s with California punk rock group Cut-Rate Druggist

Have you ever been sitting at home watching the classic film Shrek and wondered, “What would this be like with electronic music?!” Me neither, but it seems as if someone has. On Saturday the 25th, The Black Sheep will be hosting Shrek Rave, which is exactly what that sounds like. So, out of curiosity, you should probably check that out, right?!

Diehard Yo La Tengo fans will insist the New Jersey band has never released an album less than magnificent since the 1980s. Yet some outings utilize ambient drone to the point of formlessness. You won’t find that in This Stupid World (Matador), where declarative guitars and adventurous arrangements give the nine long tracks a Velvet Underground quality. When songs aren’t as blistering as “Sinatra Drive Breakdown,” Ira Kaplan uses his whispered monotone for acoustic classics like “Apology Letter.”

YLT loves cover songs, and often applies a beat to them not present in band-penned work. Yet “Brain Capers” seems designed for the lively pop consumer. The prevalence of tracks between 4 and 7 minutes long guarantees some drone is present, but the final track, “Miles Away,” features vocals by drummer Georgia Hubley, ensuring that the album has no throwaways.

Bluesman Tinsley Ellis on going acoustic, looking to his heroes for inspiration and working with “young ears”

BY AARON IRONS

TINSLEY ELLIS IS A CONSUMMATE BLUESman, a string-savvy veteran whose work ethic across four decades and 18 albums has made him an icon of modern blues. After folding his band, The Heartfixers, in 1988, Ellis released his solo debut Georgia Blue with Alligator Records, and since then he’s been a border-to-border, coast-to-coast road machine — that is until COVID knocked the touring industry off the blacktop.

Rather than waste away, Ellis embraced the fandom of his youth, digging into the music of his heroes, and maintaining a weekly online residency that engaged fans and ultimately provided the fuel for his latest album Devil May Care. Ellis is back doing what he loves — playing the blues for real live people — but this time around he’s swapped his cherished ’67 ES-345 for a Martin D-35 to embark on his very first solo “Acoustic Songs & Stories” tour.

After decades of nonstop touring, you hit the wall with the pandemic and it was time to go home, whether you wanted to or not. In that tragedy, you found an opportunity to become a fan again.

Tinsley Ellis: We had to drive all the way back from the middle of the tour that was supporting [the album] Ice Cream In Hell. That would’ve been in March of 2020. I got a phone call, and they said I had to come home — it just went down so quickly! The long drive back from Northern California to Georgia was brutal! I got back home and just sorta stared into the abyss for a couple of weeks, and then decided, “I don’t wanna lose my chops!” ’Cause 40-plus years of touring, I was always working. A friend of mine said, “Why don’t you designate from seven or eight in the morning till noon every day as your songwriting time?”

I moved my studio from Tucker, Georgia, into my basement in Atlanta. I was able to go down there with a cup of coffee in the morning, ’cause I’m a morning guy, put on the computer through the big speakers and listen to music and get inspired — dig back through B.B. King recordings and Allman Brothers

Tinsley Ellis Acoustic Songs & Stories

Tinsley Ellis

Band and Mike Bloomfield — and that became the inspiration for the songwriting that became Devil May Care.

Streaming became the artistic lifeline for a lot of artists — a way to perform, to connect with fans outside of the traditional live setting. You also used it as a way to test that new material. Had you done that before? Just thrown the new music out there?

Never been able to do that before. I think that’s one of the differences between this album and the previous albums. I was able to make the most fan-friendly album I could — and you can’t go wrong making albums for your fans. You can go wrong making albums for radio; you can go wrong making albums for critics, but you can never go wrong making an album for your fans.

Every Wednesday, I would post a demo of the best song I wrote of the week. I called it the “Wednesday Basement Tapes” as sort of an homage to Bob Dylan and The Band. The Wednesday Basement Tapes were a way for the fans to weigh in on the songs, and I took their criticism to heart. I looked to see how many views and listener counts it got, and it appeared to me that people wanted me to make an album that had the sound of Capricorn Records in the early ’70s. That’s the kind of album I made.

There’s a vulnerability to putting yourself out there like that as a songwriter. There are some artists that really embrace the idea of making their fanbase a part of the creative process. And then there are others that are like, “Oh no, I could never do that!” At its core, how did that affect you as a songwriter?

Well, I think it would be somewhat conceited of me to think that someone’s gonna hear a demo of a song and rip me off! Because is there any other genre where people have ripped each other off as much as the blues? It all kind of comes back to Robert Johnson, so short of somebody using an actual lyric, I don’t need to worry about putting stuff out there. That is very old school to think of it that way. I enjoy the criticism and I enjoyed the feedback from the fans — they helped me choose the songs. I chose songs, the fans chose some songs, and Alligator Records chose some songs.

Have you done a tour like this before — songs and stories, just you by yourself? That’s a little different than what you typically do.

No, haven’t done it. But with [Devil May Care] over a year old, I’m not really goin’ out on an album tour and it’s important that I do something different until I have a new album out. I’m doing all the way from south Florida to Seattle to San Diego to Maine — the entire country. And I’m doin’ it in a car by myself with two guitars — a Martin and an old 1937 National Steel — a suitcase, a whole bunch of vinyl and CDs — not normal behavior for a 65-year-old man, I might add!

The guitars, specifically the ’37 National Steel, the ’69 D-35... Those give the tour a bit of an identity. Does that play into your creativity? Your ES-345 is a known favorite, but what went into choosing the guitars for this run?

It’s interesting doing these electric songs in an acoustic format. I won’t have anything to back me up, but I found that if I stomp my foot, I can play the solos and it sounds almost like a band. I’m takin’ some real chances here. I’m not just doin’ the songs off of the various albums and talkin’ about ’em, I’m doin’ some old Delta blues — Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Son House...

Howlin’ Wolf, of course! And then I’m also doing some really quirky covers, Gregg Allman and Cowboy, and I’m also getting into Leo Kottke, Jimmy Page open-tuning type songs, a Bob Dylan song, maybe — and whatever the hell I want. A Buddy Holly song!

Will this lead you into a straight acoustic blues album?

Yes, that’s what I’m working on right now. I’ve gone in the studio with a young, great, talented blues-and-soul artist here in Atlanta producing me — Eddie 9V. He and his brother did 12 songs on me and we’re gonna add some more songs to it and I’m gonna have an album of acoustic music that will be made by an old blues rocker with the help of a couple of guys with some young ears.

GIRLS MEANER

The Burn’s witchcraft trades spells and potions for social media

BY NICK RAVEN | nraven@sixty35media.org

‘NO ONE

IS AWESOME HERE.

EVERYONE sucks,” schoolteacher Erik (Adam Stepan) tells bullied student Mercedes (Jamie Cooper) near the end of The Burn, the newest production at Springs Ensemble Theatre, directed by Jodi Papproth.

Erik has spent the show so far fostering a creative spark in Mercedes by pushing her to participate in their high school production of Arthur Miller’s The Crucible amidst the chaos of bullying classmates and her own religious hesitation.

But by the time he utters this line, things have become dramatically worse in his English class. He later recants his allencompassing damnation, but it’s hard for anyone to believe it, whether player or spectator, because everyone winds up with blood on their hands — literally or figuratively.

The Burn, written by Chicago playwright Phil Dawkins, tells a story of duplicitous people and the labyrinthine relationships their disparate identities create. The play’s trio of bully “witches” — with ringleader Tara (Jasmyn Madise), the brainy Shauna (McLain Murphy) and jock Andi (Sheridan Singer) — are a clique of “holier-than-thous” who don’t hesitate to inflict cruelties on outsiders. Their mark is the meek new kid Mercedes, a born-again Christian who returns to public school, having being homeschooled following a family tragedy. In SET’s intimate, classroom-sized theater, this predator/prey tension is immediate and palpable.

This is not Tina Fey’s relatively light-hearted high school comedy about savage in-crowders, nor is it the vintage afterschool special about bullying with the introverted “good kid” getting harassed or beaten by leather jacket-wearing villains.

The Burn is mean

The thoughts these characters have and the words they utter serve only to maintain their toxic group. The play’s first act is probably the hardest to take in as the witches express their unfiltered thoughts out loud through spoken text chatter in class. They ignore their teacher: He delivers unheard instructions; they nonchalantly chat about inappropriate student-teacher relations. But one kid in the back is paying attention — Mercedes is silently tracking with the teacher.

All four classmates are eventually brought together by persuasion or punishment to perform in Miller’s classic play about the Salem witch trials and persecution, which boils away some of their abrasiveness, at least temporarily. (“It’s a test where they set things on fire,” Shauna says, explaining the title to the smarter-than-she-looks Andi.) It’s here we

realize that Mercedes is no saint herself, despite her moral izing and holy influence.

”It sounds like you’re trying to convert us,” Shauna and Erik bellow in unison to their born-again classmate, and she shamelessly acknowledges her proselytizing.

It’s not long before tensions escalate and we see that she can match the witches’ cruelty under the guise of prayersummoned, divine retribution. This leaves Erik to referee the proceedings as a character whose own struggles put him on the defensive against their barbs.

The Burn spends a lot of energy showing the ways harassment and bullying have changed in this new mil lennium with easy, instantaneous communication over cell phones and social media. The witches taunt Mer cedes behind her back online with their call to arms: the hashtagged “GodHatesMercy.” These abstract scenes project snippets of text conversations with cre ative use of lighting while actors talk to each other using pantomimed phones or by floating around darkened stages, rarely making eye contact.

Of course, presenting these online interactions is a curse all its own when different platforms gain and lose relevance and technology shifts constantly. The reference to Reddit passes muster and tagging in the aging online RPG World of Warcraft suffices, but the idea that Zynga’s social media game FarmVille (which peaked in 2010) still has clout among teens while they tap out 140-character tweets (bumped up to 280 in 2017) was a little distracting from a play written in 2019 and produced in 2023.

Anachronisms aside, The Burn mercifully sprinkles in enough humor to get you through what would otherwise be an unrelenting slog; a vicious coming-of-age story of very mean girls. If the endless parades of spoken internet acronyms (“OMG!” “STFU!”) and mean curses these witches cast don’t scare you away, you’ll realize that no one there is awesome, everyone sucks — and deep inside, there are terrible reasons why.

ALL HANDS ON DECK

Military literary and arts journal seeks submissions from the community

BY BRYCE MCGRAW

THE GRIT AND DETERMINATION OF THE AMERICAN fighting force may be considered by some as the apex of our country’s strength. But how could a community support its veterans for their commitment to the preservation of our freedoms? Pikes Peak State College has found one way through its publication SITREP, a veteranfocused literary and arts journal.

SITREP was developed in 2020 by two English professors with help from Military and Veterans Programs at PPSC. The journal came from a growing sense that the community needed a place to welcome and celebrate veterans’ (and their families’) voices — a visual way to let the military community know “we got your six.”

The publication’s name comes from a term used throughout the armed forces for Situation Report. Troops use these reports to relay developing information between command elements and allies to ensure unit cohesion during operations. Just as a Situation Report in the military keeps troops informed, SITREP intends to deliver its own report to the Colorado Springs community.

“An all-volunteer, professional military such as ours has many positive attributes,” says Dana Zimbleman SITREP editor-in-chief. “However, one problem is that ordinary citizens are often detached from the realities of military life and service, even in a military town like Colorado Springs. Our publication seeks to remedy that by sharing veterans’ stories and experiences.”

Paul DeCecco is a retired Army colonel and the director of MVP at PPSC. His support and connection to the military community has helped shape the direction for the journal.

“When SITREP was proposed, I was already working with the local arts community as well as our PPSC Arts Community, so I loved the idea from the start,” he says. “SITREP to me seemed like a perfect extension of our military/veterans ‘art program’ that we in MVP were already trying to develop.”

The journal allows individuals with artistic passions to showcase their personal pieces within a respectful environment, whether it be private art, photography, poetry or other written works. “Our students have contributed extensively, but SITREP ’s mission extends to reaching beyond our campus to the wider military population,” Zimbleman says.

“That includes military families who experience lengthy deployments, frequent relocations, and other issues that the civilian population does not fully understand.”

Service members often are forced to put their creative aspirations aside during their military service — something that SITREP hopes to remedy. “[The journal] offers our entire community an opportunity to peer into a creative window to our military/veteran

community, their thoughts, feelings and expressions,” DeCecco says.

Joseph Southcott, dean of PPSC’s Mathematics and English Division and retired Army Colonel, is another key player in SITREP ’s success. “Your voice matters. Every veteran has a story,” Southcott says. “We want you to share yours with us and ours with you.” Southcott and DeCecco have both been featured interviews in SITREP

SITREP is about strengthening community. In a sense, it acts as an Objective Rally Point for military students attending PPSC. “Our involvement in SITREP and other arts programs provides our military and veteran students an opportunity to grow their own community network in areas that they may otherwise not have had any contact,” DeCecco says. “I think this is an important opportunity for these students as it may help them in their own personal transition from the military life into civilian life.”

Families of service members are also encouraged to submit their work for possible publication. In the first two editions, many pieces came from students growing up in a military household. Military spouses have also shared their experiences of living through long deployments.

The content is varied, and while most submissions involve a military theme, all themes are welcome. “Sometimes service members are reluctant to discuss their time in the military. Others return incredibly proud of their military service,” Zimbleman says.

“The community has an obligation to listen to and understand what our veterans have gone through in service to their country,” she says. “Who better to tell us those things than the people who experienced them firsthand? That’s why SITREP is so important.”

SITREP is now seeking submissions for its spring edition. Anyone in the military community can enter for consideration. The online version (published each fall) can be found at pikespeakparley.com/category/sitrep. Email submissions to SITREP@pikespeak.edu by April 1. Include your name, contact info and service information.

In particular, SITREP is seeking works from veterans who now work with private defense contractors and conduct missions all over the globe, and from U.S. citizens actively aiding in the Ukrainian war effort, as well as any Colorado Springs locals who have firsthand experience in that area. Zimbleman says, “If there are veterans out there who fit into that category, I hope they will get in touch with me.”

Zimbleman can be reached at dana.zimbleman@pikespeak.edu.

THE BRIEFING

ARMY FITNESS TEST AND BODY COMPOSITION CHANGES COMING

The Army Times reported last week the Army has set a timeline for reforms on how it monitors soldiers’ body fat, according to the service’s top noncommissioned officer, who also previewed potential fitness test shifts.

“The often-maligned ‘tape test’ remains the standard across the force

for measuring a soldier’s body fat if the individual is not compliant with height and weight screening tables,” according to the Army Times. “But change looms: a major study led by Army researchers concluded in late 2022 considered alternative measurement methods and potential policy changes.”

One pending change was to develop a policy to exempt soldiers from body composition testing if they score 540 or higher on the Army Combat Fitness

Test. “An Army directive implementing the body fat exemption for soldiers who score a 540 or higher on the new fitness test is undergoing staff review,” and should be finished in March, the Army Times reported. Additional changes before April are expected though no further information is currently available.

“But other services’ recent actions may foreshadow the Army’s options. The Marine Corps now uses scanners and other technology to verify a member’s body fat if they fail the tape test,” according to the Army Times. “The Air Force plans to implement a new waistonly body fat calculation in April.”

BENNET URGES BIDEN TO BLOCK SPACE COMMAND MOVE, CITING NATIONAL SECURITY WORRIES

Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colorado, is urging President Joe Biden’s administration to reverse a 2021 decision to relocate U.S. Space Command from Colorado to Alabama, saying moving the headquarters would delay operations

and harm national security, Military. com reported last week.

Bennet gave an impassioned floor speech Feb. 15 criticizing the decision to move Space Command’s headquarters, a process which has been underway since the waning days of former President Donald Trump’s administration. Moving the command from Peterson Space Force Base in Colorado Springs to Huntsville, Alabama, would cause further delays in setting up a permanent headquarters as tensions continue to rise with China, Bennet argued.

“We cannot let China or Russia set the rules of the road for space in the 21st century,” Bennet posted on Twitter prior to his speech. “America has to lead, and we don’t have time to waste.”

Space Command, which is responsible for military operations related to space, was reactivated in August 2019 and temporarily run from Peterson.

In January 2021, during the last days of the Trump administration, the Department of the Air Force selected the Army’s Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville as the preferred location for Space Command’s permanent headquarters.

Since that announcement, members continued on p. 44 ➔

may have intervened in the process for choosing the base, something that could give ammunition to legal challenges.

But Bennet argued on the Senate floor Wednesday that his fight to reverse the decision goes beyond wanting to protect assets in his home state. He said keeping the headquarters in Colorado will allow it to reach full operational capacity sooner amid rising tensions with competitors.

“I’m on the floor today to remind people here of the importance of this issue, the urgency of this issue, not just for Colorado, not even for Colorado, but for the country as a whole and for our national security as a whole,” he said. “That in the end is what the American people deserve here, because our opponents and our competitors in space are not waiting for us to get out of our own way.”

In August 2021, while speaking on an Alabama radio show, Trump said the move was his decision, which sparked speculation that the former president

WHEN YOU’RE SERIOUS ABOUT REAL ESTATE

“Space Force — I sent to Alabama,” Trump told the Rick & Bubba radio show at the time. “I hope you know that. [They] said they were looking for a home, and I single-handedly said, ‘Let’s go to Alabama.’ They wanted it. I said, ‘Let’s go to Alabama. I love Alabama.’”

Two watchdog reports, requested by members of Colorado’s delegation in Washington, followed. They did not point to any major issues with Huntsville as a location for the base, but did scrutinize the process for choosing the location, Military.com reported.

This past May, the findings of a Department of Defense inspector general report said that, while the selection process was marred by shoddy recordkeeping, the ultimate decision to choose Huntsville was “reasonable.”

And in June, the Government Accountability Office released a report saying that Space Command’s move from Colorado to Alabama was driven by an unorganized and unclear process. While that report did not comment on or analyze whether the choice of Huntsville as the home of Space Command was

Sen. Michael Bennet

acceptable, the congressional watchdog organization did express concerns about “significant shortfalls in its transparency and credibility,” as well as the “appearance of bias” in the decision.

“I think it is fair to say that we are here not representing the parochial interests of our state, but representing the national security interests in the United States and the incredible importance of this Biden administration not ratifying a political decision that was made in the last few days of the Trump administration because decisions of this importance shouldn’t be made this way,” Bennet said. “They should be made in the interest of our national security.”

Last month, Bennet threatened to hold

up nominees for the Pentagon’s top positions because Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin had declined to meet and discuss the Space Command decision.

After voting against Biden’s nominee for assistant secretary of defense for energy and installations, Bennet’s office has since been in communication with the Pentagon, Military.com reported.

An environmental study, one of the final steps required before the decision can be finalized, has been completed. Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall will give the ultimate approval, which department officials have said for months is coming soon.

Social (IN)SECURITY

SOCIAL SECURITY HAS been a political football in the U.S. since the 1970s, but there was a Super Bowlcaliber showdown a few weeks ago that tipped the score in favor of the nation’s elders. At the State of the Union address, President Joe Biden accused Republicans in Congress of plotting to eviscerate the 87-yearold program (which they have been, for years, and everybody has the receipts), saying “if anyone tries to cut Social Security, we’re going to stop it. If anyone tries to cut Medicare, we’re going to stop it.”

What gave Biden the edge? The

EDITORIAL BOARD:

clown-car wing of the GOP, most memorably Marjorie Taylor Greene dressed like a baby harp seal yelling “Liar!” when Biden fired off his accusation, thereby shutting down the Republican dream of cutting or destroying what they like to refer to as “entitlements” — at least for the moment.

But for most of the 48.6 million older Americans who receive Social Security checks, it’s a different kind of game, one that causes stress levels to rise whenever those inside the Beltway start tossing the ball around.

If you’re not wealthy and you’re over 62, these are the things that will keep you up at night...

• For starters, the Great Recession of 2007-09 destroyed $3.4 trillion in retirement savings.

• It’s estimated that Social Security’s cash reserves will run out between 2033 and 2035.

• The average Social Security benefit is $1,688 a month. Median rent for a one-bedroom apartment in the Springs right now is $1,192.

• In 1983, Congress voted to start taxing Social Security benefits. They established $25,000 — figured as adjusted gross income plus half of the taxpayer’s annual benefit — as the first threshold, requiring income tax payment on 50 percent of the benefit. In 1993, Congress added a second threshold, $34,000, at which recipients would pay tax on 85 percent of their benefit.

Unlike other components of the program, those thresholds were never linked to inflation and remain the same today (though in 1983, the median family income was $24,580 and a dozen Grade A large eggs cost 89 cents). The system was designed so that as salaries increased over time, ever-growing numbers of older

workers would return ever-growing amounts of their benefits to the government. Today, 56 percent of recipients pay taxes on their benefits.

While the 2023 cost-of-living increase, designed to help offset high inflation, was a very welcome 8.7 percent, it increased the amount working seniors will have to return as taxes — in addition to the Medicare and Social Security taxes deducted from their salaries.

• But given that we’re living longer, and the money can only stretch so far, most of us are probably resigned to all of this ... until we come to that little wrinkle called the “taxable maximum,” which this year sits at $160,200. Anything earned beyond that is not subject to Social Security payroll tax, meaning millionaires will stop paying into the program a couple weeks from now. Just imagine how much Elon Musk has been saving all these years.

Lifting that cap is at the heart of the Social Security Expansion Act that Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren introduced in the Senate on Feb. 13, designed to extend the program’s solvency for another 75 years. Doug Lamborn would hate it, but Republicans only have a four-vote majority in the House. It could happen, right?

• Our last nightmare, sorta like Ebenezer Scrooge’s, comes from The Guardian: “Over the next decade, the number of workers ages 75 and older is expected to increase in the US by 96.5 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, with their labor force participation rate projected to rise from 8.9% in 2020 to 11.7% by 2030, a rate that has steadily increased from 4.7% in 1996.”
