The number of states — including Colorado — that consider themselves Slytherin, the cunning and sometimes villainous Hogwarts house in the fictional Harry Potter universe. As for the other houses — 11 states considered themselves Ravenclaw, nine declared fealty to Gryffindor and five went for Hufflepuff.

Matter of Record VERIZON 5G INTERNET IN SPRINGS

Verizon started providing its 5G home and business internet services to parts of Colorado Springs last month, company spokesperson Andrew Testa told us. It’s the first time the service is available in the city, and people can check whether their address is covered at verizon.com/5g/home (Testa couldn’t provide an internet coverage map.) The residential service starts at $25 per month when paired with a Verizon 5G mobile phone plan; otherwise, for non-Verizon customers, the service starts at $50 per month, a Verizon release says. There are no equipment charges and all that’s needed is a wireless router, Testa tells our news partner KKTV News. The home service has average download speeds of about 85 to 300 megabits per second and upload speeds of about 10 mbps, according to the Verizon website. For its 5G business customers, Verizon offers 100 to 400 mbps download speed plans, and upload speeds are about 20 percent of those. Of note, there are multiple companies building fiber internet options across the Springs — and some that have now launched their services in select areas — which offer 1-gigabitper-second (1,000 mbps) upload and download speeds and for businesses, multi-gigabit-per-second speeds. — GAJ

RED-LIGHT CAMERA ADDED ON WOODMEN AT CAMPUS The city of Colorado Springs has added a red-light camera at the intersection of East Woodmen Road and Campus Drive as part of its Red-Light Safety Camera Program. The goal of the red-light program, according to a city-issued news release, “is to protect drivers, passengers, cyclists, and pedestrians from injuries or crashes caused by red-light running. It is also a component of the Colorado Springs Police Department’s effort to reduce crashes and improve citizen safety in Colorado Springs.” The new camera went live March 6, when a 30-day warning period began. Following the warning period, a $75 fine will be assessed for violators, according to the release. A full list of intersections with red-light cameras can be found at coloradosprings. gov/redlightsafety. — BG

COLORADO HOSPITALS SEE INCREASE IN VIOLENCE There’s been a marked increase in violence against health care workers in Colorado and nationally since the COVID pandemic began, hospitals in the state report. The Colorado Hospital Association, which represents more than 100 hospitals and health care systems, released a report on Feb. 21 that outlines data showing an increase in workplace assaults nationally, which they say echo patterns in Colorado hospitals. A survey from the International Association for Healthcare Security and Safety, for example, found that simple assaults against health care workers reached an all-time high in 2021, jumping from 10.9 per 100 beds in 2019 to 17.7 in 2021, the CHA report says. The report also shared statistics from other national surveys of nurses: On average, a nurse is assaulted every 30 minutes, according to Press Ganey, a health care performance company with a digital platform used by more than 41,000 health care facilities. National Nurses United reported that 75 percent of nurses experienced verbal and physical assault in 2022. “The people who dedicate their lives to taking care of us when we’re hurt, when we’re sick, when we’re at our most vulnerable — these are the people being assaulted. It’s just wrong,” Joshua Ewing, CHA vice president of government affairs said in an association release. “We will continue to support our hospitals and health systems here in Colorado, and we will not stop pushing for greater awareness and support for our health care workers.” — GAJ 4 | Sixty35 | March 9 - 15, 2023 | NEWS

To the jubilation of citizens in affected neighborhoods, City Council voted Feb. 28 to ax a study of extending Constitution Avenue from Union Boulevard to Fontanero Street where it could connect with Interstate 25. The study was removed from ConnectCOS, the city’s transportation plan. Westside Community Center’s working committee will hold a public meeting from 2 to 4 p.m. Thursday, March 16, at the center, 1628 W. Bijou St. The nine-member committee advises the city’s Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Advisory Board about the building’s usage, programs and services. Besides representing the neighborhood’s interests, the committee also hosts community picnics and cleanups, and supports events such as the annual meeting of Westside neighbors, scheduled for Saturday, April 29. Registration is open for the iconic Pikes Peak Ascent and Marathon, to be held Sept. 16 and 17 in Manitou Springs. Runners who complete the Garden of the Gods 10-Mile Run on June 11, the Barr Trail Mountain Race on July 16 as well as the Ascent and Marathon are part of the Garden to Peak Challenge and are eligible for series awards. Registration closes when each race sells out. For registration and more information, visit pikespeakmarathon.org. Colorado Springs residents are spending 8.2 percent more than they did last year to pay household bills, including mortgage or rent, utilities, cable and internet, mobile phone and alarm/ security (but not food), according to an annual report from bill payment network Doxo. The average Colorado Springs household spends 37 percent of their income — $2,162 a month, or $25,945 a year — for the 10 most common household bills, the report found. Household expenses in Colorado Springs are, on average, 5.4 percent higher than the national monthly average of $2,046 but 11.6 percent lower than the state average of $2,413, Doxo says. The report, based on billings through Doxo, was released March 2.

‘NO SECRET’ Pastor takes aim at news report, claims Church For All Nations members have long known about its aircraft BY PAM ZUBECK | pzubeck@sixty35media.org Pam Zubeck

Cowart preaches during a recent Sunday service (top). Church For All Nations fills the seats, like it did at this recent service.

ASTOR MARK COWART addressed Sixty35 news magazine’s feature stories, which were published Feb. 23, about the church’s aircraft and his far-reaching real estate ownership during a Sunday morning sermon on Feb. 26 at Church For All Nations. Although Sixty35 reached out to Cowart multiple times before the story was published, he didn’t return the calls. Nor did Board members or the church’s attorney regarding the lawsuit the church filed in 2021 over an aircraft hangar; Sixty35 also didn’t hear back from Wayne Pendleton, who’s involved in the church’s aircraft and land deals, including Cowart’s personal deals. In his address to churchgoers, Cowart said, “I got word of some articles that have been written. I will give you some facts to bring peace of mind, if you need that. Some things were so out of context. I had difficulty reading the whole article. I like to read fiction, if it has a point to it. But this really strayed from the path.” The Sixty35 report was based on public records found at the 4th Judicial District Court, the El Paso County Clerk & Recorder’s Office; the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office; the Federal Aviation Administration, and property records in other states where Cowart and his wife, Linda, have owned or currently own property. No one from the church responded to requests for comment. THE CHURCH FILED A LAWSUIT IN JANUARY 2021 against the COS Owners Association, a hangar group that leases land from Colorado Springs Airport, contending that after paying $400,000 since 2008 to secure a hangar for its airplanes, it still doesn’t have a hangar. Cowart claimed that it was “no secret” the church owns aircraft, although it was a church member who alerted Sixty35 to the ownership and the hangar lawsuit, noting that other CFAN members were surprised to recently find out about the airplanes. Cowart said the aircraft were donated to the church and that “a lot” of the expenses associated with them are also “covered” by those donors. He didn’t identify anyone by name and didn’t assert that the aircraft donors were picking up the tab for the litigation, which has spanned two years. A judge ruled against the church on March 2 and cancelled the March 13 trial. Cowart justified the church’s ownership of the aircraft by

saying, “It allows me to take speaking engagements I otherwise wouldn’t be able to take.” (Cowart recently returned from a mission trip to Uganda, but he didn’t say whether he flew there in a church aircraft.) During his remarks, he acknowledged being “caught ... off guard” by Sixty35’s outline of numerous properties he and his wife have owned, including a custom-built luxury home in the upscale Cathedral Pines subdivision, which they later sold for $1.4 million, and a “second home” in Green Mountain Falls. In recent years, they’ve also bought and sold three homes in Oklahoma and acquired three properties in Florida, one of which cost $685,000. “Linda and I’s personal real estate transactions: We live in a house and we have lived in a house since we’ve been married, and we’ve sold those and taken the increase and gotten into other houses,” he said, drawing laughter and applause. He credited “the Lord” with his ability to buy and sell numerous properties. “We continue to increase,” he said. “We are so grateful.” COWART CALLED THE SIXTY35 PACKAGE “A HIT piece,” adding, “I’ve never talked to this gal [reporter Pam Zubeck] before and don’t care to, actually. “Our legal counsel on this said limit your response to things,” he said, “but for the most part I wanted you to know the Lord has blessed us so much here in the church.” While Cowart also said “a lot of things got misconstrued” in the articles, he didn’t identify any particular fact as being wrong. He also said that after talking with other local pastors, “Her [Zubeck’s] reputation has preceded her, so in a private conversation I’d be happy to talk with people. I just want you to know the Lord has been so good to us here at CFAN.” In Cowart’s subsequent prayer, he said, “We pray for those that disagree with us, for those that despise us, or not like what we stand for…. We pray to heal their hearts.”

We continue to increase. WE ARE SO GRATEFUL. — Mark Cowart

During his sermon, Cowart repeated his disapproval of “homosexuals,” saying that other countries “have seen what has happened to nations that fall away from morality and go the path of immorality. Here in America, we have people in the church who are subscribing to these kinds of things.” His message appealed to at least one congregant, who wrote in the online chat during the Feb. 26 service, “Thank you pastor Mark for clearing this up! I read this article! Keep doin what your [sic] doin! You are blessed! Thank God for You and your family!” NEWS | March 9 - 15, 2023 | Sixty35 | 5

(The seven areas of cultural influence are family, religion, education, media, entertainment, business and government). Rogers notes that he submitted his complaint to FFRF prior to recently being elected as the first vice chair of the El Paso County Democratic Party.

CONFLICTED? Council candidate’s business has a client list 34 years long; can she remain neutral? BY PAM ZUBECK | pzubeck@sixty35media.org

ICHELLE TALARICO HAS run her catering business, the Picnic Basket Catering Collective, with her business and life partner, Kathy Dreiling, for 34 years. By her own account, she’s catered events for nearly every developer and builder in the city and beyond, including the biggest developer, Norwood. That begs the question of how Talarico would handle matters involving those clients that come before her on City Council, if she’s elected to the unexpired term in District 3 in the April 4 city election. Given that Talarico’s client list reaches into the hundreds if not the thousands developed over three decades in business, she could face repeated queries about whether she can be neutral on matters involving those clients. Talarico vows to seek a legal opinion and disclose the conflict or even recuse herself from voting if appropriate. “I would recuse myself if ever a conflict of any type [arose], because that’s the right thing to do,” she says in a phone interview.

THE QUESTION HAS BEEN RAISED BY Sixty35 and by Integrity Matters, a citizenbased group formed a year ago by John Pitchford, a former local GOP officer, that mounted a recall effort of the current District 3 Councilor Stephannie Fortune last year. She was appointed by Council to fill Richard Skorman’s term following his late 2021 resignation. The group dropped the effort when Fortune said a serious medical issue would prevent her from seeking the seat in the April election. (Integrity Matters also attempted to recall atlarge Councilor Wayne Williams, but didn’t turn in the petitions.) In a recent email blast, Integrity Matters suggested Talarico wasn’t forthright in disclosing who her business contracts are with and that “Residents are already discussing a recall if she is elected.” But Talarico didn’t shy away from the topic when Sixty35 news magazine asked her about it. (Disclosure: She was among the Women of Influence named in 2015 by the Colorado Springs Business Journal, a component of Sixty35 news magazine.) “There’s probably more people we have done business with than haven’t, and are some of those developers or builders? Yes,” she says. “We do catering for all sorts for individuals. For Charis Bible College, Focus on the Family, El Paso Democrats, El Paso County Republi8 | Sixty35 | March 9 - 15, 2023 | NEWS

cans. It’s hard for me to look at any of them as if they’re using us for any reason other than we have a product and service they found to be in their price range.” Talarico also disclosed she used to cater The Broadmoor’s sales staff parties for about a dozen people, though she’s never handled any large events at the elite resort. She also serves on a number of local boards, including that of Care and Share Food Bank for Southern Colorado.

Michelle Talarico

“I would hope ... that I would know in advance if there was anything I needed to recuse myself from the vote,” she says. “I’m not a political person, so I don’t know all the ins and outs of that.” When asked, she acknowledges that it’s possible that, if elected, she might have to recuse herself on a matter of great importance to her Westside and Southwest side District 3 constituents, leaving them without a vote on Council. She says she hadn’t thought of that possibility, but wonders if she could speak to other members of Council and “make sure they understand the wishes of my constituents.” HER OPPONENT, SCOTT HILLER, SAYS he’s not sure that would be legal. “I don’t think you can do that,” he says, referring to lobbying other Council members on a matter from which she planned to recuse herself. “If you’re recused, you’re recused.” While Hiller’s job as chief of geosciences for a

national marine engineering company and his volunteer work likely wouldn’t pose a conflict of interest, he says, “I think I would just disclose [his involvement].” One of the nonprofits he’s worked with is Habitat for Humanity, but he helped build houses and didn’t participate in any administrative or financial matters. But Hiller says Talarico’s business definitely raises some red flags for potential conflicts. Scott Hente, who served on City Council

Scott Hiller

from 2003 to 2013, disclosed and recused himself on at least six projects. Hente, a builder, had relationships with developers and other builders, suppliers and the like. Hente says he sought legal counsel and made it a practice to disclose, such as when he voted on city-owned Memorial Hospital’s budget each year. His daughter worked there, so he always disclosed that prior to his vote. While his stepping away from voting might have left his constituents without a voice, Hente says, “They wanted honesty. They wanted full disclosure above any vote on any particular project. “When I ran for office, it was no secret I was in the building industry,” he adds. “I would like to think they voted for me knowing there were times I would have to recuse myself. I still got elected. “I thought, ‘If there’s a hint I can’t look at this fairly, I’m going to recuse myself,’” he says.

Sleep health science says teens’ overall health can be improved by starting school later BY GRETA ANDERSON JOHNS | gajohns@sixty35media.org

HEN A STUDENT DIES BY SUICIDE, STACY Aldridge says, school administrators often say, “We have to do something.” Aldridge, Cheyenne Mountain School District 12’s assistant superintendent of student achievement, says that’s how she and her colleagues felt when tragedy struck about six years ago at neighboring Academy District 20’s Discovery Canyon Campus, a pre-K through 12th grade school. Six DCC students died by suicide over a 13-month period spanning 2016 and 2017. Aldridge was a D12 elementary school principal at the time, and says, “My counselor and I would often ask each other, ‘What options have we not considered?’ or, ‘Have we exhausted everything that we have control of?’ “I will compare it to gun violence,” she says. “You hear time and time and time again, ‘We have to do something.’ Schools feel that same way about the mental health of kids.” Concern for student mental health — particularly for those in middle and high school — is the primary driver for D20’s current discussions about moving its school start and end times forward for adoles-

cent students. From 2011 to 2022, 36 students in the district have died by suicide, Sixty35 reported last week. There’s long-standing evidence, with research dating back to the 1980s, that teens have unique sleep needs based on their physiological development. Sleep medicine experts agree that school start times earlier than 8:30 a.m. for middle and high schoolers can seriously impact mental and physical health, safety and academic performance. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine has held this position since 2017 and urged education leaders to implement later start times. Start times are not the sole factor in improving students’ mental health, of course, but they are one squarely within the control of building leaders and district leaders, Aldridge says. In the 2020-21 school year, D12 decided to make that change, pushing Cheyenne Mountain Junior High’s start time forward about 30 minutes to 8:05 a.m. and shifting Cheyenne Mountain High School’s first period class forward by 60 minutes, to 8:25 a.m., while elementary school students start at 7:50 a.m. Fountain-Fort Carson School District 8 — another Colorado Springs-area district that D20 is looking at as a model for its move — has later start times for middle school students (8:30 a.m.) and high schoolers (8 a.m.). continued on p. 10 ➔

earlier, she explains. Teens’ “sleep drive” — as physicians call it — is also the “lowest that it will ever be in our entire lifetime, meaning that teenagers have the ability to resist sleep” and as a result, go to bed much later. “So say you are trying to wake a teenager up at 6 a.m. — that could be equivalent to trying to wake an adult up around 3 or 4 a.m.,” Burns says. “This is not teenagers being lazy, or parents not doing their job getting their kids to bed on time. This is just how our bodies are made.” The negative impacts of teens going to school earlier than 8:30 a.m. have also become increasingly clear, she says. One study of adolescent sleep cited in the AASM position statement found that one hour of lost sleep resulted in a 58 percent increase in suicide attempts

SHIFTING LONG-STANDING START TIMES, as it turns out, is not an easy task — no matter what, it’s an adjustment for students and parents, Aldridge says. Since revealing its new plan in January, D20 has faced backlash from elementary school parents, whose kids — as a result of the changes — will have to be at school at 7:30 a.m., as much as 1 hour and 15 minutes earlier than they do under the current schedule. Some D20 parents worry how this might impact elementary school children’s mental health and ability to get enough sleep. Some felt their needs, and their young kids’ needs, were being ignored in the decision, and set aside for the benefit of middle and high schoolers.

But the science is very clear on the physiological and sleep requirements differences between those younger kids and older students who have gone through puberty, says Dr. Antoinette Burns, a pediatric sleep medicine physician at Children’s Hospital Colorado’s Breathing Institute and associate medical director of the Colorado Springs Pediatric Sleep Lab. “Understanding the science is always the first step to this,” says Burns, who is also an associate professor of clinical practice in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Teenagers’ melatonin levels increase later in the day compared to younger kids, and even adults — meaning they naturally get sleepier later in the day, whereas younger kids get sleepier

and a 38 percent increase in sad or hopeless feelings. (AASM recommends 8 to 10 hours per night for teens ages 13 to 18.) Lack of sufficient sleep can also increase risky behaviors, alcohol and drug use, athletic injuries, car accidents and obesity, AASM reports. Burns says that anecdotally, teen patients she sees in her sleep medicine practice are more likely to be absent from school because they’re exhausted. She’s also seen research that shows increasing sleep corresponds with improved academic performance among adolescents. (Aldridge noted that while this can’t be entirely attributed to D12’s later start times this year, it did outperform all other Springs area school districts on the 2022 state academic exams.) “As we’ve learned more about the negative impacts … we recognize that we need to actually start to provide more education and understanding of why this is an important change,” Burns says. “It’s not to punish or to try to expose elementary

school kids to anything dangerous. It’s not about who’s more important — that’s not it at all. “It’s truly about that physiologic change that occurs, and when children are better able to learn and function, stay safe and healthy.” OVER TIME FOR D12, THE SHIFT BECAME routine, Aldridge says. “Parents have been very gracious in figuring it out; schools have been wonderful in terms of helping students and parents who have transportation challenges because of work,” she says. “In hindsight, I think it was a relatively smooth adjustment. “But nonetheless, it was an adjustment, especially in the first semester or so.” And there are several notable factors that made D12’s school times shift less abrupt and disruptive than D20’s. For one, D12 is the second-smallest Springs area school district by enrollment — and has been for several years — with 3,592 K-12 students during the 2022-23 school year, according to the Colorado Department of Education. D20, on the other hand, is the largest, with 26,229 K-12 students this academic year, CDE reported, meaning thousands more families are affected by its time changes. All of D12’s seven schools are within a 6-mile radius. So in terms of transportation, the district’s biggest concern with school times was traffic congestion from student drop-off and pick-up, Aldridge says. And “buses, thankfully, were never part of the discussion” — D12 has never provided regular bus transportation to and from school for students, but only for those kids with special needs and for afterschool activities and athletics, Aldridge says. The bus schedule “puzzle” — and the way D20’s current, 11 fragmented start times stretch transportation resources thin — was something high school parent Katherine Czukas didn’t know much about, until she participated in D20’s committee analyzing start and end times during the 2021-22 school year, she says. “I think the burden that all of those different start times placed on demands for and efficiencies in busing was a learning coming out of being there [in the committee],” she says. BUS SCHEDULES ARE ONE OF THE BIGgest logistical hurdles for D20. The district, geographically, stretches about 16 miles from Black Forest in the east to Air Academy High School on USAFA grounds to the west. The district buses students all across those boundaries to and from more than 35 K-12 schools every day. That adds up, currently, to 190 different bus routes and about 7,000 kids (or 25 percent of the district’s students) using buses, D20’s Chief Operations Officer Brett Smith has explained in presentations and town halls with parents about the school times changes.

D20 employs 101 bus drivers and buses to drive those routes, but it’s been strapped for drivers for the last decade, Smith said. Other district leaders added at a Feb. 21 town hall that they’ve provided various incentives to attract more drivers over the years, but it’s a problem that won’t go away. On a typical day, the shortage means the district doesn’t have spare drivers to bus kids to field trips and after-school activities or sports. On a bad day, when regular drivers are absent, that means cancellation of school routes, which can be detrimental for some students who require transportation, Smith said. “For those 7,000 kids, 70 percent of them, this is their only way to get to school,” Smith said during a Jan. 19 presentation to the D20 Board of Education about start and end times. “Without bus transportation, they will not show up to school.” And as a large district that’s continuing to grow in population, it’s important for D20 not to get rid of its buses, Smith said. “That’s a position we do not want to be in,” he said. “We have the fortune of being a growing district. We are going to have to consider this [bus transportation], how we get kids to and from school during the school day as we expand. “The only way to expand our transportation resources is to be able to operate on a three-tiered [start and end time] system,” he says. It would reduce routes and allow the district to only need 90 drivers,

giving it 10 to 15 drivers to cover for those who are absent, and transportation for other school activities. But a “non-negotiable” aspect of the bus schedule is that there needs to be 40 minutes between the elementary, middle and high school start and end times to give drivers enough time to finish routes between them, Superintendent Tom Gregory said at the Jan. 19 board meeting. That gap is what’s creating consternation among the elementary school parents — a shift of middle and high school to later times will result in elementary schools needing to start earlier.

Burns, the Children’s Hospital sleep physician, says it’s not exactly clear why schools even started high schools first and elementary last in the first place — it contradicts the health science. The fact that experts agree on starting teens later is telling, she says. “It often takes years of work, looking at decades of research” to create a position statement, Burns says. “This is not something that all of a sudden we’re recommending because we don’t know how else to manage mental health problems in our adolescents. … It’s not a knee-jerk reaction.”

TRANSFORMING SW DOWNTOWN

In Park Union, projects have stalled but the vision endures

BY JEANNE DAVANT | jdavant@sixty35media.org

HE U.S. OLYMPIC & PARALYMPIC Museum and the Park Union pedestrian bridge that connects the museum to America the Beautiful Park are the beginning of a grand vision that will transform southwest Downtown into a vital commercial and residential center. Vermijo Avenue, the city’s newest signature street, culminates at the Olympic Museum Plaza and is fulfilling its purpose as a place where events can be held. The street now sports a widened pedestrian walkway, landscaping and innovations like electrical outlets on light poles for vendors who need power. The Vermijo improvements “have given us a highlighted street corridor for event organizers to potentially use as an option,” says Blake Zink, senior program administrator for special events with the city of Colorado Springs. It’s been used for events like the city’s 150th anniversary festival on July 31, 2021; Fiestas Patrias, a celebration of Latino heritage and culture, in September

2022; and several events activated by the Olympic & Paralympic Museum. Vermijo abuts Park Union, an 82-acre parcel at the heart of efforts to revitalize the area between the museum and Weidner Field and from America the Beautiful Park to Cascade Avenue. Norwood Development Group, the principal landowner in Park Union, is excited about the long-term possibilities for the area, including a passenger rail station south of the museum and a proposed plan for Fountain Creek that could “turn it into a beautiful, shining asset,” Norwood Senior Vice President Jeff Finn says. But outside of the museum and bridge, major development has yet to rise from the empty lots and dilapidated structures that previously characterized the area. Three major projects Norwood has planned — a hotel adjacent to the museum, a 184,000-square-foot office building and an apartment/condo development — are still in the planning stages, Finn says.

“We are still trying to work through the economic challenges on these projects, but we will get there,” he says. In the meantime, work is going on in the background — and underground. “There are unsexy infrastructure projects that continue to be worked on, completed and maintained,” Finn says. Infrastructure work and streetscape improvements also have been done along Sout h Sierra Madre between the museum and West Cimarron Street. “I wouldn’t be surprised if there were potentially more streetscape improvements on Sierra Madre, especially going north,” says Bob Cope, the city’s economic development manager. “I would expect that to coincide with future development.” Cope says he fully expects Norwood’s projects to move forward as current

economic constraints like higher interest rates and construction costs lessen. “I am seeing that any project that is being built, to lease or sell, and you don’t have your pricing already locked in, is going to be on a temporary hold,” he says, “and this doesn’t relate only to Park Union. They’re using this period to get ahead in some of their planning and design.” Projects that were able to lock in costs before the worst of the construction cost inflation hit are the ones that are being built. — Jeff Finn One of those is the first of four mixed-use apartment buildings under construction by Weid-ner Apartment Homes adjacent to Weidner Field, just outside the Park Union district. The seven-story Experience at Epicenter will provide 408 market-rate dwelling units, with commercial space on the ground floor. Completion and opening are planned for the spring of 2024.

Norwood projects

Norwood is working with the city on a project south of Vermijo that will create a regional Downtown stormwater treatment facility to assure clean water discharges into Fountain Creek. “It’s not a sexy project,” Finn says, “but it is absolutely critical and necessary for development to occur. It’s significant because, when I started this, there was not an ounce of stormwater infrastructure in this area.” Norwood is finalizing the design of the Residences at Park Union, a 12-story community with 213 residential units including 76 condos that will be built north of the pedestrian bridge landing. “We are actively working to bring that project to fruition,” Finn says. “What I can’t tell you is when we will break ground exactly, because it is one of the most dense, complicated urban residential buildings in Downtown.” With hundreds of apartment units planned or underway Downtown, “we’re working to position and deliver

that at the right moment,” Finn says. Norwood is seeing a lot of interest in the Class A+ office building at 435 S. Sahwatch St., he says. “We have not had any significant new office product delivered in Downtown … since the late 1990s, early 2000s, so this is certainly pioneering for us,” he says. Plans for the hotel on the northeast corner of Sierra Madre and Vermijo were put on hold when the pandemic hit, Finn told Sixty35’s predecessor, the Colorado Springs Business Journal, in March 2021. The hotel is envisioned as “upper upscale,” a hospitality term that indicates a tier just below luxury hotels such as the Ritz Carlton and St. Regis. It will have 250 rooms and “a significant amount of ballroom and meeting space,” he says. “We’ve always said that our Phase One was a million square feet,” Finn says. “These three properties would be just about a million square feet. The total buildout of Park Union is about 5 million square feet. “We’re not yet ready to offer any names like flagship this or brand that, but we’re moving toward some public submittals,” he says.

We are still trying to work through the economic challenges on these projects.

“We’re about a year out,” says Greg Cerbana, vice president – public relations and government affairs for Weidner Property Management.

Long-range outlook

Norwood is closely watching and supporting the passenger rail and Fountain Creek projects, Finn says. Front Range Passenger Rail, authorized by the Legislature in 2021, which would provide service from Pueblo to Fort Collins, is building momentum, he says. Each community along the proposed rail corridor was asked to designate a location for a station, which would also serve Amtrak when it extends to Colorado Springs within the next five years. A study of 11 possible sites by Mountain Metropolitan Transit and consultant HDR Inc. issued in December recommends a location along the rail line on a 4.2-acre site just south of the museum. “The station will take up about 30 to 40 percent of that site,” Finn says. “We have ideas — not plans yet, but ideas where that would be part of the mixed-use urban area.” Finn says he views passenger rail service and the station as a huge opportunity to attract businesses and residences to southwest Downtown. “Our neighborhood can go from a great urban neighborhood for Colorado Springs to really one of the great urban neighborhoods that Colorado has to offer,” he says. Norwood is part of a stakeholder group that is proposing improvements to Fountain and Monument creeks, Finn says. The COS Creek Plan, issued in May 2022, was formulated by Denver’s Greenway Foundation and NES Inc. and funded by a grant from Lyda Hill Philanthropies. It envisions a continuous greenway with expanded recreational opportunities along the creeks from Monument Valley Park to

the confluence of Fountain Creek and Shook’s Run, and the area where the two creeks converge in America the Beautiful Park would be a signature pilot project, Finn says. That project could include a beach and terraces to create access for water sports, new pedestrian bridges and festival and event spaces. “That’s a long-range vision, but there’s work being prepared to begin that process,” he says.

Weidner apartments

Cerbana says Weidner decided during the middle of the pandemic to continue construction on Experience at Epicenter at 655 S. Sierra Madre St. “We knew that this type of project is needed in the Springs,” he says. “We’re funded and we’re moving forward.” Among the project’s residential spaces will be about a dozen micro units of about 330 square feet, plus studios and 1- and 2-bedroom apartments. “We’re going to test the concept of micro units to see whether or not that resonates with the residents here in the Springs,” Cerbana says. The project also features a rooftop amenity space overlooking Weidner Field and a public plaza on West Moreno Avenue, which was vacated by the city for that use. The project will include 12,500 square feet of space on the ground floor that will house three or four commercial spaces and the building’s clubhouse. “We would love to see a mix of commercial tenants that will cater to the residents,” Cerbana says. Preleasing of the apartments likely will begin in mid- to late summer.

LOCKDOWN 12 ways to stop hackers slipping into your smartphone BY JEANNE DAVANT | jdavant@sixty35media.org

cessful in “jailbreaking” cellular devices, Falcon says. Jailbreaking is defined by Microsoft as “implementing software alterations and/or programs that bypass original manufacturer or developer software/hardware restrictions in order to manage or operate your device at an elevated or administrator level.”

Have you been hacked?

Two things can happen when your phone is compromised, Crandall says: “First, they monitor your information, like TikTok. It’s just collecting data, which doesn’t seem bad, but it’s kind of an intrusion. You don’t want them to have access to all your pictures, everywhere you surf and that kind of thing.” More dangerous, though, is cloning: “Everything you see on your phone appears on their phone or device,” Crandall says. “It’s a good way to get past that two-factor identification. So when you go to your bank and they send you a text message, if I’ve gotten your password, I can get into your bank account.” Look for apps that are running in the background that you know you closed, suggests Cody Burket, cybersecurity engineer at Firma IT Solutions. You can go into your settings to find apps that are running in the background. “If you see apps that either don’t show up on your home screen or your installed apps, or you’re seeing things that are running in the background constantly that you know you’ve closed, some of those things could be indicators of a virus or a mal-intentioned app installed,” Burket says. “It could also be just things that are running. So you would want to do your own research with the app specifically.” Other things to look for are a photo suddenly being taken while you’re on your bank screen or apps open on your phone that you didn’t open. Those actions might indicate that someone else has control over your screen or the user interface of your phone, Burket says.

Other indications that something is amiss: • one or more apps acting strangely or triggering responses from other processes, such as a mapping app turning on your camera; • your call logs or message history showing actions or calls you have not initiated, received or answered; • payment or billing statements showing transactions coming from your phone that you didn’t initiate; or • the device itself locking and you’re unable to open it.

CLI E NT OF MIKE Crandall’s recently had his phone compromised by a SIM card hack. That can happen when a criminal contacts your carrier, posing as you, and asks the service rep to issue you a new SIM card. Once he gets it, he can port your number to his own phone, says Crandall, CEO of cyber risk management firm Digital Beachhead. Crandall’s client suspected something like that had happened, because he suddenly stopped getting phone calls and texts. The client contacted his carrier, and when he was asked to provide his PIN, he learned that the hacker had taken over his account and changed it. “He went through a lot of hoops to prove it was actually him who owned the account,” Crandall says. This video (tinyurl.com/uzm98f2w) shows how easily a skilled hacker can persuade your carrier to give up your email address, PIN and other information and even add herself to your account. Phones can, of course, be physically stolen, or they can be breached through connectivity with systems such as vehicle multimedia, says Hector Falcon, space and cyber intelligence integrator at the Space Information Sharing and Analysis Center, which is operated in the Springs by the National Cybersecurity Center. It’s more common, though, for phones to be hacked via chain emails, phishing, spoofing and/or the user clicking on objects or embedded links in text messages or emails that connect to malware or executable code, Falcon says. Another common way your phone can be compromised is to use unsecured Wi-Fi networks or open networks, he says. “Access points may require a password, but that is not necessarily a guarantee of having encrypted and legitimate communication conduits that are securely implemented,” Falcon says. Hackers love it when you leave connectivity-based services on by default instead of turning them on only when they’re needed. This includes services such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and Near Field Communications — mobile payments. And criminals have been very suc-

“As a smartphone user, you must be aware of how your phone operates as a preemptive security measure,” Falcon says. “Being aware of what’s known as a ‘normal operations baseline’ is essential.” This means you are familiar with how the phone operates — how it locks, unlocks and performs during routine use, beyond just the normal click, surf and access methods, as well as normal memory use and what app icons belong on your device. “By being aware of normal operational processes, you can more easily discern an ‘out of normal’ operation, process or application delay,” Falcon says.

What if you’re hacked? Burket recommends contacting your local provider if you suspect something is wrong with your phone. “Their support teams are usually pretty good, and they will be able to suggest whether completely wiping your phone is a necessary option,” he says. That possibility is a good reason why you should back up your data and contacts. Just removing a suspicious app may not be enough, Crandall says, because malicious software could still be on your phone. “I would start with removing the app,” he says, “but if you notice the things are still happening, the app wasn’t the actual cause — it was what was included with the app.” If you have to do a factory reset and restart from scratch, “you don’t want to reload from the cloud or save settings, because that’s just a copy of what was there,” he says. While it’s a pain to redownload everything, resetting your phone is “a good time to go through everything you had and decide what you really want, because we all collect apps and software over time.”

Tips to guard your phone These are steps you should take if you suspect your phone has been compromised, or if you want to make sure your phone is secured before an invasion happens. • Lock your screen. Set up a face or fingerprint scan. “These are pretty much the top of the line for security purposes,” Burket says. Or set up a complex password, a PIN with at least six digits or a pattern swipe with at least eight points on the pattern.

These security measures can easily be added or changed by going into your settings. Change passwords and PINs at least twice a year. • Make sure your phone and the apps you’ve downloaded are up to date. Go into your settings to find the update software settings. For downloaded apps, you can set up auto updates and manually update your apps by going to the App Store or Play Store for iPhones or Android phones, respectively. • Don’t use open Wi-Fi networks. “Those are just ways that people can monitor and see the data that you’re using on your phone,” Burket says. “If you do have to use public Wi-Fi, make sure that you have a VPN option.” iPhones have a builtin VPN option — check your settings page. With Android phones, you have to download a third-party app, he says. • Back up your data and contacts. “If you do lose anything or somebody hacks your device, they can’t ransom your data or contacts,” Burket says. • Don’t open emails, apps or anything else from someone you don’t recognize. Don’t respond to texts from senders you don’t recognize or click on links in those texts. Texting is a major way people send phishing data, Burket says. • Don’t use your personal smartphone to access business resources or accounts. • Don’t download nonlegitimate software applications that haven’t been vetted — for example, apps that are outside of established Google Play Store or Apple Apps Store methods. • Don’t tether or connect your phone through a hotspot to someone else’s device unless you know them and trust their device. Likewise, “if you didn’t initiate a Bluetooth pairing request, do not approve it,” Falcon says. • Don’t scan random QR codes, unless they’re provided through a legitimate establishment such as a restaurant, bar or server. • Be wary of the latest cool app that puts your face onto a historical figure or substitutes your dog’s face for yours, Crandall says. “The misconception is that if you get an app from the official store, it’s safe,” he says. “That’s not necessarily the case. Sometimes even apps that are known to be good have been breached.” • Be risk aware. The only 100 percent secure smartphone, Crandall says, “is one that’s shut off, with the battery out, in a closet covered with cement.”

HIT THE COURTS Hillside Connection leads second annual GameLikeHer Basketball Camp BY AMELIA ALLEN | news@sixty35media.org

EVENTY GIRLS AGED 6 TO 14 HIT THE BASKETBALL courts March 4 for Hillside Connection’s second annual GameLikeHer Basketball Camp. Hillside Connection was founded in 2017 by Terrell Brown, who played basketball for Otero Junior College and Montana State University before turning his attention to service and being “a living example” for kids in Southeast Colorado Springs. The 501(c)3 aims to leverage basketball to create pathways to opportunity for youths, and GameLikeHer is part of that mission. “We’re solely focused on that empowerment piece,” Brown says. “It’s a basketball clinic — we have different skill stations, obviously — but there’s a vision board station in the middle of the clinic. Girls are drawing about their next steps, what they want to become.” After GameLikeHer’s morning skills clinic, the girls attended a Women’s Empowerment Panel where business leaders and educators answered questions about self-confidence, communication skills, power of voice, selfdoubt, adversity, tackling discouragement, and pursuing dreams. Panelists included Dr. Regina Lewis, professor at Pikes Peak State College; U.S. Bank Business Access Advisor Natasha Hutson; Chef Chantal Lucas, owner of Luchal’s; B&M Construction President Barbara Myrick; and Julie Ramirez, founder of Daily Dose 719. “How are we igniting the next women CEOs, teachers, artists?” Brown said of the panel. “This could be a start to spark some of that mindset.” GameLikeHer, which Brown describes as “exclusive, creative, fun, inspiring,” jumped from 47 participants last year to 70 this year. It’s important to Brown for the program to stay financially accessible. “Everything that we do, we clearly communicate scholarships are available,” he says. The non-scholarship rate for the camp was $25 per kid, which included the clinic instruction, panel and brunch.

Conclusion Jumping By Groff Schroeder

When you do not believe in or worship supernatural beings, others sometimes jump to conclusions. If a believer finds out you do not have faith in their Abrahamic god, they often jump to the conclusion that you worship some other god. They may offer reassurance of their reserved acceptance of differing religious beliefs, at times with direct or implied reference to well known but less popular Abrahamic belief systems. If you tell them you do not believe in god(s) of any kind, some folks jump to the conclusion that you must therefore surely worship “the devil.” But why would those who don’t believe in allegedly beneficial supernatural beings believe in or worship allegedly malevolent supernatural beings?

The next jump is often that you worship yourself, because only self worship could lead to acceptance of the steep price for failure to worship their infinitely kind, loving, and forgiving deity – eternal torture by burning. When you say you do not understand why any being would harm anyone for any reason, they may state they feel sorry for you because you clearly hate religion. At this point, you might be drawn aside for a hushed but deeply serious admonition that your rejection of their god’s love condemns your children to god’s wrath, and that even newborns need prompt [insert religious ritual name(s) here] to protect them from being burned by god in hell for all eternity for dying without having learned of god’s unlimited kindness, eternal love, and infinite forgiveness. If you explain that you will take your children to any religious service they choose once they reach the age of consent,

but that honesty prevents you from telling impressionable children that supernatural beings exist - you might be told that you worship truth. And you might be informed that infallible, revealed “T”ruth is only found in [insert repeatedly translated and reinterpreted, Iron Age spiritual text name here], and that all other points of view are by definition incorrect - or “evil.” If you state that you rely upon demonstrable facts derived from consistent observations, repeatable experiments, verifiable evidence, and predictive mathematics, you might be told that you worship science. If you describe how the scientific method led to the engineering triumphs of our modern technological age, you could be told that medicine, engineering, and science only work because of the will of [insert their preferred deity name here]. If you explain that you do not worship supernatural beings, yourself, truth, science, or anything else - and that it

appears worship in general and religion in particular are highly contagious, extremely toxic mind viruses that destroy common sense and activate the same addiction-related neural reward circuits activated by gambling, sex, and drugs, the person may briefly stop to cogitate. Then the conversation usually ends, and often, so does that person’s interest in communicating with you – about anything, ever again. How does nonbelievers’ choosing non-religious beliefs and controlling our own bodies and sex lives as we see fit threaten or interfere with other’s religious beliefs, civil rights, or human freedoms? And why corrupt the Constitution to force nonbelievers to comply with other people’s religious beliefs, religious practices, and sexual mandates? Everyone must be free to control our religious beliefs, bodies, sex lives, and reproductive processes in privacy and without interference.

MANITOU SPRINGS

SCHOOL DISTRICT 14

GO MUSTANGS!

MANITOU SPRINGS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL • UTE PASS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL • MANITOU SPRINGS MIDDLE SCHOOL • MANITOU SPRINGS HIGH SCHOOL

2023 Manni Awards: Youth Visionary Leadership Award nominees These are the Manitou Springs High School students who are finalists for the 2023 Manni Awards, which will be awarded on Thursday, March 23. School district leadership has selected these seniors for their admirable commitment to their school, classmates and community, and their excellence in academics and extracurricular activities. Next week’s Sixty35 new magazine will highlight three staff members who go above and beyond to serve the District 14 community.

Elanor Fugate

Lairden Rogge

Payten Smith

Elanor Fugate serves as the vice president of Key Club, secretary of the National Honor Society, secretary of the Environmental Club and treasurer of the Spanish Club. Elanor participates in theater and soccer; she also works with kids and volunteers with the elementary school students at her church. “I’ve learned things academically, yes, but I’ve also learned a lot of things about myself and how to be a functional human being. I’ve developed several relationships that are really dear to my heart,” Elanor said.

Lairden Rogge is the president of the National Honor Society, and captain of the cross-country, basketball and track teams. He helps with community service projects and is a camp mentor at Green Box Arts in Green Mountain Falls in the summer. Lairden said his time at Manitou Springs High School has helped him grow as a person and learn what he wants to do next. His advice to incoming freshmen is, “Work hard and always stay on top of your class work. Make good relationships with your teachers.”

Payten Smith is the president of Key Club, member of the National Honor Society and the Spanish Club. She plays on the high school’s varsity soccer team. “Manitou has instilled in me a passion for learning. If my teachers have taught me anything, it’s that learning can be fun and does not have to be intimidating,” Payten said. The advice she gives to incoming freshmen is, “Stay true to your values and connect with people that will help you to be successful in your high school career.”

Brown says 98 percent of all Hillside Connection’s income — grants, sponsorships and donations — goes toward programming. “This is an example of philanthropy the right way, right?” he says, adding, “If you’re thinking about administrative costs, things of that nature, you’re not thinking about the community or an experience.” Hillside Connection is mostly run by volunteers, with one parttime staff member. Brown himself handles Hillside Connections’ operations on a mostly volunteer basis. “We’re providing exquisite sports opportunities for kids [through] connections with the [Denver] Nuggets, with UCCS, at minimal to no cost,” says Brown. “That’s unheard of.” GameLikeHer came about as a collaboration between Brown and Keion Arkwright, brand manager for former Nuggets point guard Monté Morris, and former director of youth basketball for the Nuggets. Brown knew Arkwright was “a huge advocate on women’s empowerment.” So he reached out. In Southeast Colorado Springs, Brown told Arkwright, “there’s a lot of young girls who don’t even get to pick up a ball or get a chance to play until they’re in middle school. That’s a problem.” So the two got to work brainstorming GameLikeHer. “He’s in the for-profit lens, I’m in the philanthropic lens; we’re able to put our brains together for the greater good of society,” says Brown. “I think it’s a story greater than just us collaborating,” he adds. “Everyone’s talking about diversity, equity and inclusion. What does that look like? [Our programs were] two minorityled groups.” Brown and Arkwright were able to involve female volunteers from Harrison High School and secure donations from Harrison School District 2 for this year’s GameLikeHer. Hillside Connection takes a “boots on the ground” approach to getting the word out about its programming. To Brown, it’s important to keep networking and personal connections central to underserved areas. “We need to stay true to that as we continue to try to expand,” he says. Brown, whose mother played basketball at Mitchell High School, grew up in Southeast and learned how to play basketball from the women in his neighborhood. He remembers Fatima Maddox, who played for Temple University in the early 2000s, teaching him “how to do a crossover at the Boys & Girls Club back in the day.” He’s called basketball “the sport that helped me see the world and get where I am today,” and he believes it can change kids’ lives. That’s why GameLikeHer, Brown says, “hits a heartstring with me.”

THE STORY CONTINUES Smokebrush Foundation and PPLD revive popular program BY RHONDA VAN PELT | rvanpelt@sixty35media.org

Photos courtesy Vince Coleman

Howard Drossman and Sarah Hope at a previous Story Project event

OU HAVE TO THINK THAT SHARON FRIEDMAN WOULD be proud and pleased that her creation, The Story Project, is being relaunched. Friedman, who died Dec. 25, 2022, was celebrated Jan. 27 with a gathering at SunWater Spa in Manitou Springs that included, appropriately enough, stories from her family and friends. Among her many accomplishments: helping open the local chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, serving on the first gay and lesbian funding panel for the Gill Foundation and working as associate publisher of various local publications for 30 years. The Story Project began in 2011 with monthly events at Marmalade at Smokebrush under the Colorado Avenue Bridge. The Smokebrush Foundation for the Arts presented the hundreds of gatherings, which featured speakers sharing their thoughts and memories about various subjects. Episodes aired on KRCC radio and the Pikes Peak Library District’s cable channel for anyone who couldn’t be part of the live audience. The sessions ended in 2019 and organizers started planning to restart them in 2020 — but we all know what happened then. Now, the time is right for a reboot, they say, as a way to honor Friedman. “Her health was degenerating, but we had her blessing to partner with PPLD,” Smokebrush founder Kat Tudor says. Dustin Booth, the former Manitou Art Center manager who now oversees PPLD’s Knights of Columbus Hall in Downtown Colorado Springs, suggested the partnership with Smokebrush and is very excited about the debut on March 10. He’s also co-producing the event, which will focus on Pikes Peak. “Our community has great stories,” Tudor says. The first presenters are: Larry Cesspooch, a traditional Ute storyteller; Tudor; Andrew Rudin, who has led outdoor trips and worked with troubled youths; and Cyndi Parr, program director and co-founder of Dragon Theatre Productions. The hosts will be Don Goede, entrepreneur and SunWater Spa co-founder, and Jeremiah Walter, PPLD’s internal communications specialist. Cesspooch, whose name means “Whitebelly” in the Ute language, uses film, music and indigenous artifacts to tell his stories. He grew up in northeastern Utah, on the Uintah and Ouray Ute Reservation, and served in the Vietnam War. Rudin grew up in the Allegheny Mountains of western Pennsylvania and received a degree in outdoor recreation. He lives in a cabin he built near Cripple Creek and in Manitou. Tudor is a visionary who brings creative arts and healing arts together with classes, collaborations and community projects through SunWater Spa, the SunMountain Center and the Smokebrush Foundation for the Arts. Parr has a degree in theater from UCCS and ensures that everyone who auditions earns a role in Dragon Theatre Productions performances. She has spent the past 25 years as an actor, writer, director, puppeteer and magician in more than 300 productions. “Two [presenters] we chose and the other two through public submissions,” Goede says. This gathering and future ones will take place at the Knights of Columbus Hall, 20 W. Pikes Peak Ave., and will air on PPLD’s cable channel. The next event is scheduled for Friday, June 9, and the organizers are seeking presenters. An application will be available on the library district’s website: ppld.org. “Don and Kat brainstormed the current idea, and more info on the next theme will be coming soon,” Booth says. Podcasts are a possibility, he adds. Admission is free for Story Project events and all ages are welcome; the building has a maximum capacity of 195 people. Attendees may park in Penrose Library’s lower parking lot (enter from West Pikes Peak Avenue), and enter the Knights of Columbus Hall in the northwest corner of the parking lot.

A CHARM

Dos Santos spinoff Dos Dos takes a fresh approach to tacos and burritos to distinguish itself BY MATTHEW SCHNIPER mschniper@sixty35media.org

continued on p. 30 ➔ 28 | Sixty35 | March 9 - 15, 2023 | ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT

Matthew Schniper

OS DOS REQUIRES LITTLE introduction. Simply by saying that it’s the next Mexican concept from the folks behind Dos Santos (and White Pie), you should know enough to presume it’s quality. Why? Because now in its fourth year in south Downtown off Tejon Street, Dos Santos has held steady with consistently excellent tacos as the main attraction. It was already validated by Denver’s dining scene dating back to its 2015 original location on 17th Avenue, and brothers Kris and Jason Wallenta also opened a third location in Castle Rock in early 2022. So let’s call it time-tested, in multiple markets. At Dos Dos, with a menu focused on burritos, plus a different protein lineup for tacos and a whole new margarita and cocktail list, the company isn’t repeating itself; instead it’s expanding its stylized offerings. The new setting: mid-Tejon Street, just under a mile away from its progenitor, in the former Subway location across from Acacia Park. They’ve done a great job scrubbing out the corporate, foot-long face-filling vibe and introducing a bright, open-kitchen layout with cozy seating, given the narrow building shape. Walls, tiling and some wood features are stark white, while shades of orange provide accent color. Big, bell-shaped, thatched lanterns hang clustered from the ceiling, evoking the woven interiors of palapas on a Mexican beach. Service wares are metal trays with waxed paper, paper bowls, plastic utensils and foil-wrapped burritos and tacos — fast casual, despite the table service. The soundtrack for my visits: Latin rhythms in the morning, hip-hop in the afternoon. Service is a mix of attentive (orders taken quickly and food arriving surprisingly fast during both visits) and distant (not getting a timely check-back for another round of drinks that afternoon), but everyone’s professional and I do enjoy chatting with the morning staff about tequilas — of which there are 16 different bottles in-house,

plus two mezcals — and sampling a Sotol. That’s lesser-seen around town, a mezcallike drink (made from an agave-adjacent plant with spiky plumes, named Dasylirion wheeleri, from the asparagus family) that starts floral and holds a similar smoky, earthy element, but lacks the biting spiciness; it’s smoother, at least exemplified by the La Higuera label out of the Chihuahuan city of Aldama. Anyway, while on drinks, for breakfast do get the fabulous oat milk matcha latte, a silky, naturally sweet treat balanced by the astringent green tea; it comes batched off a fountain drink machine, but staff give it a shake in a tumbler and pour it over ice so it’s airy and light. I don’t think of bitter green tea as a ready Mexican food pairing, but it works great. Much as you may be rightfully tempted, you can skip the coffee because it’s relative dreck — an odd stumble given the high bar of everything else on the menu. It’s boring bitter stuff named Four Leaf, a Shamrock Foods product. If it wasn’t douchey and a faux pas, I’d say bring a fina cuppa from Story Coffee or Solar Roast in from directly across the street on either side, but instead maybe consider some to-go food and pair your own coffee in the park on a nice day. WITH OUR LATER-DAY BITES, we’re quite pleased with our Mezcal Old Fashioned and Ranch Water. The first rates stellar, an attention grabber with spicy elements from both a tincture and green chile liqueur atop the inherent mezcal heat. The burn lingers amidst the blanket of aromatic and orange bitters. The Ranch Water by contrast offers a cooling, refreshing sip based out of Chareau, a spirit made with aloe and cucumber among other ingredients. It gets mixed with Arrete Blanco tequila, Top Chico mineral water and fresh lime, finishing a touch sour and almost minty. Later, a House Shot of cilantro-lime liqueur acts like a palate cleanser, fresh and herby with a neutral clear spirit bite. We enjoy a Michelada well enough but get a bit distracted by a strong vegetal element that reminds us of bouillon cube essence; it’s brothy in a way, even if it finishes with a lager crispness. (I should note I’m also biased because Broomfield’s 4 Noses Brewing makes a hauntingly great Real Dill Michelada Caliente that’s sold in four packs, and the friend who turned me onto them and I buy the hell out of them and can’t get enough. They’re my litmus test.)

To the food: The first legitimizing factor of Dos Dos, which deserves applause, is their “nixtamal program that cooks, grinds, mixes and presses corn masa into homemade corn tortillas every single day.” It reminds me of legacy Springs spot Señor Manuel’s basement operation that makes their own chips, tortillas and tamale masa. Here too there’s subterranean cookery afoot that shows a commitment to real food versus common prepackaged items. They’re even bottling house hot sauces, like the “Hot AF” La Yucateca habanero sauce that I douse my taco and burritos with at breakfast. I’ve ordered the Los Cuatro Amigos Taco mainly because I’ve never had tater tots on one that I can recall. Here they join eggs, bacon and Asadero cheese, gifting a crunchy starchiness matched by the fatty bacon and offset by fluffy eggs and the creamy, mild cheese. Delicious. Next up: the Cali and Chilango burritos. The first draws me in because of fried plantains in the mix with eggs, tater tots and Asadero again, but also a jalapeño crema, and I add the optional chorizo and also avocado. It covers all the bases with layered richness highlighted by salty meatiness and the sappy plantain sweetness. The Chilango was compelling because it contains chilaquiles (usually its own whole dish) folded in with onions, eggs, crema, cotija cheese and cilantro. It sounds weird, as if you might catch a sharp chip corner, but the tortilla strips are mostly softened and all the dairy pads it out. I totally dig it, detecting a faint seasoning in the finish that I can’t place. I want to say cinnamon, then star anise, but my server asks the kitchen and they say neither. So all I can say is there’s something elusive and interesting that I detected that must come from the chilaquiles seasoning. Fun. BACK FOR EARLY DINNER ANOTHer day, we build our own burrito, bowl and salad, basically Chipotle style minus the walk down the line. The menu offers those three options plus a taco choice, wherein you pick your own protein (including a tofu tinga option for the vegheads). Each option comes pre-designed with standard fixings, but you can add salsas and/or à la carte items, like beans, guac or rice. Oh, and there’s an interesting fajita veggies option that’s completely free to choose, versus paying another $2 or $3 (the mains all start at $10.50 or $11.) We pick birria for the burrito, which arrives fat with rice and beans stuffed in more than half the core, a little cheese

BENDING LIGHT New gallery LightSpeed Curations has a lot going on BY NICK RAVEN nraven@sixty35media.org PHOTOS BY BRYAN OLLER

LightSpeed Curations’ Jessica de la Luna, Nat Feather and Jacob Lonergan

IGHTSPE E D CUR Ations’ ambition can barely be contained within its walls. It’s hard to peg the venue as anything other than a wildly creative work of art all its own. Yes, it’s a gallery, but it’s also a tattoo shop, a photography studio, an event space, a black light gallery and so much more. Housed in an unassuming strip mall a short walk from the vibrant rows of shops in Old Colorado City, it’s a multifaceted gem hidden in plain sight that offers so much in one interconnected space. “Every time a new person [comes in] they’re like, ‘We love this space, the space is amazing,’” says photographer Jake Hopkins, co-owner with tattoo artist Nat Feather. “It’s like a fortune cookie. [On the] outside, it looks bland and nasty and

then when you get inside, there’s a bunch of happiness.” LightSpeed came together when Hopkins and Feather grew tired of how things were done in the industry — how little creative freedom they had and how other tattoo shops took advantage of their artists. “We didn’t really like the way [our industry] was being run. I went to Nat and was like, ‘This seems messed up,’ and he goes, ‘Yeah, it’s been like this for 30 years,’” Hopkins says. They hashed out their own vision, initially seeking a smaller space where Feather and maybe a couple other artists could set up shop. But through their “amazing” real estate agent, they found their current home on 25th Street — a much larger space that also allowed Hopkins to set up his photography studio — and their dreams quickly filled

the space. They took ownership last April and opened in August. LightSpeed has a lot going on. Feather conducts wild experiments with color in skin and on canvas

call “the monkey room” — will become a podcast studio where they plan to interview artists. And then there’s the gallery and event space up front — curated by Jessica de la Luna with events coordinated by Jacob Lonergan — which is taller than most any in town. They’ve put it to good use with massive paintings by Jesse Stockman when we visit on First Friday. Binding all these spaces together is something unique to LightSpeed: the city’s only permanent black light gallery. Feather and De la Luna were intrigued by pieces at EDM concerts, night clubs and other venues that took advantage of black light (or UV-A light). But they were usually one-off or one-night exhibitions. Their hall allows them to display not just black lightenhanced paintings and works of art, but also provides a space for artists to experiment with ChromaDepth art that takes advantage of 3D glasses. “We have so many artists that hear about our gallery and walk in with art that they have never shown anywhere. I think that that really sets us apart from the majority of the other galleries,” says De la Luna, who has curated locally for over two decades. Even their bathroom is a spectacle, with vibrant mosaics that glow bright in the light, but also in the dark. With their Swiss army knife-esque venue, the LightSpeed quartet want their little slice of OCC to become a launch pad for artists to learn and grow. They believe that making a living with art should be an attainable thing and to that end, they offer below-market rates on classes and require no deposits to rent their space for events and workshops. “Artist empowerment is like the biggest thing around here and I’m all about empowering the community, empowering people individually,” Lonergan says as we stand in their gallery and events space. A drum set anchors a corner, inviting passersby to play with it. “I feel like LightSpeed provides not only a space for someone to come in and create and display their art, but just to come and be themselves.”

OFTEN THINK OF WINTER AS THE rockers’ hibernation period. Sure, shows have been going on, but now that we’re getting closer to spring more tours are coming through — and it’s about to get wild... I always find that March and April — when the weather’s nicer and bands want to hit the road again — are the busiest months for live music. (Joke’s on them though, because this is Colorado and the weather likes to play tricks on us!). It’s March now and the concerts are rolling in. Whether you like reggae, indie rock, hardcore, noise, punk or reggaeton, there’s something for you! It all kicks off with a bang on Thursday the 9th at The Black Sheep. They’ll be hosting the crunchy hardcore of California’s SUNAMI along with the hardcore-infused death metal of 10 to the Chest and Sewerslide. If you want to catch a friendly elbow to the face, this is the show for you. Those who prefer to remain unbruised can head to Lulu’s in Manitou. Downstairs will be hosting Americana from Minneapolis threepiece The Last Revel. Upstairs at Lulu’s, The Short Term and Glitter Porn will be putting on a killer show of local rock. Glitter Porn has a busy weekend ahead; they’re playing another show Friday the 10th at Vultures with Denver’s Team Nonexistent and Tiny Humans. Or head next door to The Black Sheep for some grooving reggae from HIRIE.

SATURDAY NIGHT IS NOW UPON US with a fun and energetic show at Vultures that will bring electro-infused soul from Montana’s Desperate Electric, along with Ozonic and Dream Fugitive providing local support. And The Black Sheep will help you get your dance on with The Bad Bunny Birthday Bash! DJs will pay homage to reggaeton icon Bad Bunny, along with more of your favorite reggaeton hits, to ensure you dance the night away. Bar-K’s newly renovated basement, The Doghouse, will be hosting an eclectic show with experimental noise and hyperpop from May Leitz, Bunny Showstopper, Zander and Bent. Now for Sunday. While the weekend feels like it’s almost over, you still have another night to go out and enjoy yourself before the Mundane Mondays. Catch the dreamy, ethereal indie rock of Los Angeles’ Down Time at Vultures, with indie rock from Same Dude and psych from Briffaut. There’s another great Sunday show next door at The Black Sheep. Mid-2000s emo band The Spill Canvas — formed in 2001 and back after a 10-year hiatus with new albums and tours — will be joined by Arms Akimbo and Sending Skyward.

ALSO NEW & NOTEWORTHY US Girls, Bless This Mess (4AD) – Meghan Remy’s Toronto-based project has morphed over seven previous albums from experimentalism to nearmainstream disco. The new one steps further into exuberant dance, the result of Remy’s embrace of pregnancy and motherhood. The opener “Only Daedalus” could be a Michael McDonald mid1970s pop gem, while dance anthems “Tux” and “Pump” are as nostalgic as recent work by Jessie Ware, but dedicated to motherhood. Will Remy retain fans brought up during her dissonant years? Gorillaz, Cracker Island (Warner Records) – Let’s admit that Damon Albarn is at his creative best in The Good, The Bad & the Queen, and that the “anime band” Gorillaz has passed its creative peak. The new album features stars like Stevie Nicks, Bad Bunny and Thundercat, but the 10 tracks mostly cover ground that has been well trod since 2017’s Humanz. Memorable moments include the opening title track, but Albarn seems to be phoning it in for his cartoon characters.

olorado Springs missed out on Algiers last Sept. 23, when the Atlanta band’s appearance at Gregg Deal’s outdoor mural unveiling was canceled due to production problems. The tour to launch Algiers’ fourth album Shook (Matador) will hit Europe and U.S. coasts while bypassing the Rockies. Locals will have to settle for Shook’s recorded mélange of funk, gospel, poetry, hip-hop, punk and EDM, a gumbo suggestive of Gil Scott-Heron directing Mavis Staples. Opening minimalist bass rhythms in “Everybody Shatter” segue into “Irreversible Damage,” a strong anthem overlaid with electronic noise and Zack de la Rocha’s declarations. The best political poetry comes from Big Rube in “As It Resounds,” and there’s plenty of wild guitars in “A Good Man.” Algiers’ rhetoric on society often rivals that of Rage Against the Machine.

SHINY,

AUDIOFILE

timeless pop Stellar self-titled debut is one of the best albums of the year BY BILL KOPP

HERE’S A STRONG CLASsic pop sensibility running through the songs on Tchotchke, the self-titled debut album by the New York City trio. The three musicians admit as much. “I grew up on a lot of classic rock,” says guitarist Emily Tooraen. Though the lead vocals of drummer Anastasia Sanchez might not suggest it, her formative influences are harder-edged. “Everything heavy,” she says. That was balanced by her mom’s taste for goth and new wave. Growing up in Los Angeles, she was immersed in the music of the city’s up-and-coming bands. Bassist Eva Chambers came up in a musical family. “When we were kids, we had an all-girl band,” she says. “We’d cover The Go-Go’s, MC5 and The Beatles.” She says that the mix of inspirations “drilled in my wanting to create really satisfying melodies and chord progressions.” That, she surmises, helps explain where Tchotchtke’s pop sound comes from. Chambers and Sanchez played together previously in Pinky Pinky, an L.A. band that traded in a kind of psychedelic-progressive garage sound. Tchotchke’s music represents a bold leap forward, with greater nuance and care put into the songwriting. The album blows by in a brief half hour; Tchotchke places a higher value on quality than quantity. “Come On, Sean” has a sophisticated, art-pop character that might call to mind Jellyfish, or even The Beatles’ psychedelic and carnivalesque “Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite.” Chambers agrees, describing the song as “theatrical.” Elsewhere, “What Should I Do?” has a bouncy character that recalls Harry Nilsson and Van Dyke Parks at their best. Sanchez displays a thrilling and seemingly effortless vocal ability, soar-

ing to the highest notes one moment, and swooping back down to Earth the next. Sanchez comes by her vocal prowess naturally; she claims to have had no formal training. “But weren’t you in choir?” Chambers teases. “Yeah,” Sanchez admits. “But I didn’t take it seriously.” She says that while she has been singing all of her life, “I was just making up silly songs and singing as a joke.” Tchotchke’s sound balances the economical approach of a punk trio with a sophisticated, finely tuned art-pop sound. The intricate arrangements combine exuberance and intelligence, all wrapped in ear-candy melodies. Spotlight track “Wish You Were a Girl” sports an irresistible sound, full of creamy vocal harmonies and an insistent beat. Tchotchke was aided in the studio side of its musical pursuits by The Lemon Twigs’ Brian and Michael D’Addario, who handled engineering and production on the album. The brothers also helped out with the brilliant string and horn arrangements. Brian D’Addario’s skill in the studio

36 | Sixty35 | March 9 - 15, 2023 | ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT

came in handy when the group’s creativity threatened to outpace the tools they had at hand. Chambers recalls the recording of the string parts on “Come On, Sean.” The arrangement called for a violin, but nobody had one. “So Brian did it himself on the cello, and then he used the tape machine to speed it up to make it sound like a violin.” Later in the sessions, an actual violinist was brought in to add to the recording. “But you can still hear some of Brian’s sped-up cello in there,” Chambers says. The new album is clearly the product of a great deal of care and effort, applied in the Lemon Twigs’ home studio. “We didn’t even have a clear idea of how it would come out or what we wanted each of the songs to sound like,” Chambers says. “We just kept adding a lot of stuff to them.” Live and onstage, Tchotchke takes a more streamlined approach to the songs. “When you come to the show, you do get a different rendition of each song,” Chambers says, “stripped down to the three-piece.” She admits that initially she

was nervous about how the trio would sound onstage. “But I think we surprised ourselves,” she says. “I sing lead, and Emily and Eva sing backup,” Sanchez points out. “So the big, recorded songs come to life” onstage. It’s still early days for Tchotchke, but the group is focused on the future. “We didn’t even have a band name when we recorded the album,” says Chambers, noting that Tooraen joined after the songs were written. Now, the three musicians are already hard at work writing songs for the next record. “Emily’s going to be able to weigh in more on the songs,” says Sanchez. “The three of us can collaborate more.” In the meantime, the three women of Tchotchke can tour in support of their stellar debut, easily one of the finest pop records of this year.

The Department of Veterans Affairs has formed a leadership panel to understand why veterans who belong to racial minorities are granted disability benefits at lower rates than white veterans, Military.com reports. VA Secretary Denis McDonough said March 2 that, although the department has several offices that oversee diversity initiatives (such as an Advisory Committee on Minority Veterans and Center for Minority Veterans), the new Equity Team will specifically look at grant rate differences and establish policies to ensure that all veterans are treated fairly in the decision process. “I expect that team to consider policies across VA to address these concerns, including changes in structure, training, quality control, outreach and more,” McDonough said during a press conference in Washington, D.C. According to Military.com, the announcement follows a suit filed in November by Vietnam veteran Conley Monk Jr., a former Marine who said he was unfairly denied claims for disability benefits, housing assistance and his GI Bill education benefits for decades before he finally received compensation in 2020. Military.com reports that records obtained by Monk, who is Black, showed statistically significant differences in VA claims decisions for Black veterans compared with whites — discrimination he said dates back decades. VA data shows that from 2002 to 2020, nearly 30 percent of disability claims filed by Black veterans were denied, compared with a 24.2 percent rejection rate for those filed by white veterans. According to The Associated Press, the data also showed only 30.3 percent of claims filed by Black veterans were fully approved, while 36 percent of claims filed by Hispanic veterans were approved and white veterans had an approval rate of 37.1 percent during the same time frame. McDonough said the team will build on the diversity and inclusion initiatives started in 2021 when he took office. Those efforts are largely geared toward VA workplace equity and providing assistance to underrepresented veterans or those who belong to racial minorities. The equity team will look specifically at the entire claims process, from outreach to filing to review to appeals, recommending policies to ensure equity across the board, Military.com reports. The announcement comes as President Joe Biden issued an executive order last month requiring the forma-

tion of equity teams across his Cabinet departments as well as other new initiatives to advance racial equity and support throughout the federal government. “Members of underserved communities — many of whom have endured generations of discrimination and disinvestment — still confront significant barriers to realizing the full promise of our great Nation, and the Federal Government has a responsibility to remove these barriers,” Biden wrote in the order Feb. 16. McDonough did not give a timeline for the team to report its findings and recommendations; he said the department must provide some answers to Biden within a certain time frame to meet its obligations under the executive order. “This is an issue we have been wrestling with ... since I arrived,” he said. “Fact is, we’ve been trying to figure out these historic disparate outcomes for some time. We need a concerted effort from this team to not only get to the bottom of the why, but then to get to enacting policies and procedures to fix it.” Military.com reports that since October, several research studies have been published showing that veterans belonging to racial minorities waited longer to access care during the COVID pandemic and that white veterans received advanced therapies for COVID at higher rates than Black veterans at VA health facilities. McDonough said the VA has been tracking health inequities, and many of the studies that have been published were conducted by the department itself.

WARFIGHTERS IN SPOTLIGHT AT SYMPOSIUM The Air Force Research Laboratory highlighted technologies and programs that support warfighter challenges at the Air & Space Force Association’s Warfare Symposium this week in Aurora. The theme of this year’s symposium, March 6-8, was “Dominant Air & Space Forces to Deter, Fight & Win.” It featured displays on programs and technologies concerning new weapons, systems and approaches. “Our goal is to place superior military capabilities into the hands of our operators,” Maj. Gen. Heather Pringle, AFRL commander, said in a news release. “Thanks to strong partnerships with industry and PEOs, as well as harnessing the talents of AFRL’s multi-disciplinary team, technology makes it to the field faster than ever before.” Pringle hosted a roundtable discussion covering AFRL’s “Digital Transfor-

Gregg, a member of the Senior Executive Service and director of AFRL’s Aerospace Systems Directorate; Andrea Mahaffey, AFRL chief data officer; and Dr. James Sumpter, AFRL chief architect officer. Pringle also moderated the “Transitioning to a Wartime Posture Against a Peer Competitor” panel discussion with members of industry on March 8. Panelists include David Tweedie, general manager of Advanced Products, GE Edison Works; Brian Morrison, vice president and general manager at Cyber Systems; and Andre McMillian, vice president of Sustainment Operations at Pratt & Whitney, Military Engines. The AFRL booth focused on the lab’s responsiveness to warfighters’ needs, including THOR (Tactical High Power Operational Responder), a counterswarm electromagnetic weapon AFRL developed for defense of airbases. The system provides non-kinetic defeat of multiple targets. It operates from a wall plug and uses energy to disable drones. A Rotating Detonation Engine, or RDE, is essentially a more compact and efficient method of creating thrust for a wide variety of military-relevant systems. These mechanically simple engines have no moving parts, making them less complex than gas turbine engines and therefore potentially cheaper and simpler to manufacture. RDEs rapidly burn fuel via a supersonically travelling detonation wave; this in turn delivers high performance in a small volume. This volume savings can be used to increase fuel and/ or payload volume providing potential range, speed and affordability benefits compared to rockets, ramjets and gasturbines. QUICKSINK is a Joint Capability Technology Demonstration that rapidly integrates and demonstrates Air Force technology that creates air-delivered, low-cost, surface vessel defeat capability for the warfighter. Key to the demonstration is the AFRL development of a Weapon Open Systems Architecture seeker for precision targeting of maritime surface vessels at a low cost. AFRL aims to significantly increase missile range and lethality against highly maneuverable targets with a better flight control actuation system. The MUTANT program’s approach is a form of active morphing involving highrate pivoting of the missile forebody, referred to as articulation. Predictive Vehicle Activity for Identification and Location, or PreVAIL, is an artificial intelligence/machine learning toolbox that enables the state-of-theart for satellite-based tracking capabilities by investigating a novel approach to automated target detection and

recognition. This toolbox uses a novel neural network and predictive traffic analysis. Fusion-based target recognition systems provide advanced artificial intelligence, or AI, for the next-generation of multi-sensor fusion-based target recognition systems by leveraging synthetic, scale-model, and real sensor data to tackle technology challenges of both maturing AI algorithms and addressing operational challenges. Integrated/Layered Base Defense efforts seek to provide cost-curve flipping kinetic effects in layered defense for the counter-cruise missile mission. Two major thrusts exist within the Base Defense effort including the Hypervelocity Gun Weapon System and the National Advanced Surface to Air Missile System. EDGE Connect provides several key capabilities including the establishment of a Software-Defined Wide Area Network, increasing resiliency over existing communications systems by stitching together multiple pathways, such as satellite communication, cellular, radio frequency, etc. and automating management of network traffic versus status quo use of a single pathway. The Unmanned Long-Endurance Tactical Reconnaissance Aircraft, or ULTRA, unmanned aerial system provides a long endurance, GPS-hardened intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance platform with full global operational access at fractional cost and smaller operational footprint than other unmanned aircraft in its class. The Air Force’s Golden Horde Vanguard program is building on the success of a flight demonstration campaign and pivoting from inventory weapon demonstrations to developing and delivering a multi-tier digital weapon ecosystem. This digital ecosystem offers a live, virtual, constructive testing and demonstration capability known as the Golden Horde Colosseum. Learn more at afresearchlab.com.

ALABAMA:

A BAD IDEA

F THIS YEAR WAS A MOVIE we’d be shouting at the screen: “Now is not the time to send Space Command to the other side of the country!” It’s only March and we’ve already had the Chinese Spy Balloon Panic and headlines like “China Gaining a Stranglehold on Critical Tech” (defense and space tech, no less). Right now, U.S. Space Command is headquartered here in the Springs. It makes sense: As Matthew Jenkins notes in The Space Review, eight of Space Force’s nine space deltas are located in Colorado, and the National Reconnaissance Office (a major mis-

42 | Sixty35 | March 9 - 15, 2023 | OPINION

sion partner to Space Command) has a complex at Buckley Air Force Base near Denver, from which they operate the intelligence community’s space assets. But in the dying days of his presidency, Donald Trump decided U.S. Space Command would move to Huntsville, Alabama. The decision wasn’t his to make, and Colorado’s congressional leaders have been fighting ever since to keep Space Command here, along with 1,400 jobs and vital continuity in space operations and defense. The decision is still up in the air, but the Government Accountability Office

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

came out and said last June that the decision to move was driven by a disorganized and unclear process, and expressed concerns about “significant shortfalls in its transparency and credibility,” as well as the “appearance of bias” in the decision. But before we get any further into that — since Trump incorrectly referred to Space Command as Space Force, let’s address the fact that they’re not the same thing. U.S. Space Command is the unified combatant command that actively employs forces from the U.S. Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force and Space Force to accomplish the mission in space. Per Special Operations Space Report, the branch of service (Space Force, Army, Air Force, etc.) trains and equips service members for their roles in America’s warfighting apparatus, and then it’s up to the combatant command (in this case, Space Command) to actually engage in combat operations. Space Command’s mission is to conduct “operations in, from, and through space to deter conflict, and if necessary, defeat aggression, deliver space combat power for the Joint/ Combined force, and defend U.S. vital interests with allies and partners,” so it makes sense, as Jenkins argues, “to collocate it with the preponderance of its operational units, the people, and infrastructure in Colorado.” Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville is home to the Army’s R&D and doctrine development for missiles and hosts the Missile Defense Agency, Jenkins notes, but it’s not home to any operational space units. “If the mission is criti-

cal, asking the personnel to relocate mid-fight is likely to bring challenges and create a seam for our adversaries’ exploitation.” It’s a point Sen. Michael Bennet has been making as he urges the Biden administration to reconsider the move. “We cannot let China or Russia set the rules of the road for space in the 21st century,” Bennet said on Twitter Feb. 15. “America has to lead, and we don’t have time to waste.” Keeping the headquarters in Colorado will allow Space Command to reach full operational capacity sooner amid rising tensions with competitors, he argues. Time notes the Chinese surveillance balloon, which carried sensors capable of spying on conversations on the ground, “revealed an entirely new class of threat to U.S. air space” and “forced military officials, lawmakers and the American public to start scrutinizing U.S. surveillance of its airspace more closely.” It’s not a good time to destabilize our national security apparatus. In a floor speech last month Bennet said Congress needs to recognize “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 emphasized “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. “They should be made in the interest of our national security.”

THE OUTSIDER

GHOSTS IN THE BASEMENT

OMETIMES IT FEELS AS IF MY LIFE IS defined by clutter, the debris and detritus of more than 80 years on the planet. There are closets full of clothes that I’ll never wear again, bookshelves groaning under the weight of forgotten volumes of ancient lore, walls hung with paintings of obscure origin and (worst of all!) boxes in the basement stuffed with old letters, documents and strange printed material. So OK, I’m decluttering… and this time I’m serious! The first box had been sealed 24 years ago, when we moved from Downtown to the Westside. My friend Cindy helped with the move, and had clearly consolidated previous decades of unsorted papers into multiple boxes. I figured I’d just flip through everything, toss most of it, and file the rest. I didn’t remember William Faulkner’s remark: “The past is never dead. It’s not even past.” It was easy at first. There were dreary City Council minutes from the ’90s, budget projections, bank statements from long-defunct accounts — shredder bait! But then it got personal. There were scores of letters and family documents, loose photos, and intriguing byways into a lively past. It was a treasure hunt. It was clear that clutter can be fun, even transformative — and equally clear that I’ll never finish cleaning out the basement.

Treasure No. 1: what may be the last remaining copy of the Sunday March 8, 1959, Colorado Springs GazetteTelegraph. The paper celebrated the centennial of the Colorado Gold Rush, and did so in spectacular fashion. Then a broadsheet daily (16.5 x 22.5 inches), the paper included four special sections for a total of 176 pages. Cost: 15 cents. For a newspaper junkie it’s an endless delight, replete with ads, stories, pictures, cranky opinion pieces and even some purple prose. Glad Morath’s society section featured photos of half a dozen daring 19th-century damsels who “Looked at the same mountains that inspire us today, and saw the flaming sun rise to paint Pikes Peak an unbelievable shade of rose for a few brief minutes… they laughed and cried and loved and worried and lived in this Colorado wonderland because they loved it — even as you and I!” There was plenty to do in the booming little city of 70,000 inhabitants, with six TV stations, five AM radio stations, five Downtown movie theaters and hundreds of merchants ready to sell you stuff. Color TV wouldn’t reach the Springs until the mid-1960s, so big screens ruled the roost. The city was on the edge of radical change, but the age of suburbanization, Downtown destruction and Californication had yet to begin.

A front page headline: “Five Women Region’s Only Survivors of 1860-70 Period.” Their detailed stories must have taken weeks to compile by the uncredited reporter who wrote the story — kudos! Treasure No. 2: I’m still wondering why I didn’t go to a Beach Boys concert sponsored by the U.S. Olympic Committee at Cadet Field House on Oct. 8, 1981. The unused ticket was in the box, its price a bargain $10. So strange, given that I’ve always loved the Beach Boys.

So OK, I’m decluttering…

AND THIS TIME I’M SERIOUS! The new plan: Reclutter, don’t declutter. I’ll dump all the boxes into new plastic containers, stack them neatly and stop worrying. In our 1899 house the past is everywhere — the drafty windows, the creaky doors, the ancient hardware and the ever-steeper stairs. Why deny it? Meanwhile, maybe I can get a refund from the USOC.

A rant

TOO FAR

I Art of Charm

THINK I MAY JUST HAVE UNCOVered some good news on the Scott Adams/ Dilbert/racist/cancel-culture front, aside from the fact that nearly every newspaper in the world that carried the “Dilbert” cartoon has now dropped it, including The Denver Post. I could be wrong — since I’m not all that familiar with some of the nethermost zones of rightwing nuttery — but I have the idea that whatever white-victimhood backlash there is to dumping Adams after his racist rant on YouTube will very soon disappear. Even Adams himself is trying to cast his remarks as simply “hyperbole” and went with the oft-used excuse that his words were somehow taken out of context.

Publishers got the hell away from Scott Adams.

44 | Sixty35 | March 9 - 15, 2023 | OPINION

But even in America in 2023, I’m guessing most people find it hard — or at least impolitic — to defend someone who says that Black people are a “hate group,” and that his “best advice to white people is to get the hell away from Black people.” It is just possible, I’m hoping, that it’s not just newspaper publishers and Democrats who see the issue here. I mean, Donald Trump may enjoy dinner with the occasional white supremacist and find “very fine people” on both sides of the Charlottesville hate rally, but even so, I haven’t seen him defending Scott Adams. I Googled and got nothing. If you’ve seen anything, please let me know because I even tried Donald Trump Jr. And once again, nada. Naturally I Googled Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to see if he was defending Adams. DeSantis, after all, is basing his expected presidential run on visiting every possible battlefield in the culture wars (see: DeSantis, AP African-American studies). I looked and I looked again, to be sure. Got nothing. I didn’t try Ye. I’m not that desperate. But I do go to Twitter — my favorite online site on which to find people posting either sadly ignorant or intentionally provocative stuff — to see who was defending cartoonist Adams, whose once iconic comic strip has apparently steadily drifted Trumpward. And I found — who else? — Elon Musk, who, in replying to a tweet on Adams and Dilbert, said it was the media that was “racist,” particularly against whites and Asians. Musk was a sure thing. In his time since purchasing Twitter, Musk has managed to make the staggering transition from richest visionary on the planet to richest right-wing crank on the planet. I’m sure he’s gained millions of followers on his Twitter feed, but it comes at the cost of scaring away a goodly number of advertisers, who pay the freight. And just guessing here, but I’m thinking that a lot of the same people who buy Teslas are those who believe Musk is driving his thriving business into an electrified ditch. I did go to Lauren Boebert’s Twitter feed to check. She’s big on the cancel culture, and there have been few examples of such widespread canceling than of Dilbert. It’s nearly impossible to see it anymore in the funny papers.

I got nothing. I tried Marjorie Taylor Greene. Nothing. I know there is other stuff happening on rightwing Twitter. There’s the border war. The border is a constant. There’s the possibility that COVID was caused by a lab leak. The Supreme Court seems ready to undo Joe Biden’s attempt to forgive some part of student loans. There’s East Palestine and Pete Buttigieg. There’s the why-are-we-giving-so-much-money-to-Ukraine-to-fight-our-allyVladimir-Putin issue. There’s the-media-pickingon-George-Santos issue. There’s spy balloons. Don’t forget the debt ceiling. Boebert, Greene and friends will be all over the debt ceiling from now until forever. BUT MAYBE — THIS IS JUST A GUESS, NOT a conclusion — Scott Adams was just a little too obvious on the hate scale, although, if you just go to Twitter generally, you’ll still find lots of Adams supporters. The funny/sad thing about the whole controversy is that it’s all bogus. And no one was probably more aware of that than Adams himself. If you tuned out early, you may not have heard the whole story of the Rasmussen poll at the heart of Adams’ YouTube rant. Rasmussen is, of course, a much-discounted polling site that has openly turned into a vehicle for right-wingish propaganda, which is pretty much what the poll in question was engaging in. In the poll, 1,000 people — 117 of them Black — were asked if they agreed or disagreed with the statement “It’s okay to be white.” Fifty-three percent of Black people polled agreed with the statement. Twenty-six percent said they didn’t and 21 percent said they weren’t sure. From these numbers, Adams said that “If nearly half of all Blacks are not okay with white people,” that means they are a “hate group.” He added, “And I don’t want to have anything to do with them.” Of course, the math here is fuzzy. Only 26 percent of Black people — not nearly half — said they disagreed with the statement. And if you look into the phrase itself, you’ll find that it began on the right-wing 4chan site, apparently as part of a stunt, and that Tucker Carlson would naturally defend

the trollers. So, yes, if you’re deep into right-wing trolling or a member of the Black community, you might well have heard of the expression. And, in some cases, you might even have been suspicious of it. The phrase has been used not just in a Rasmussen poll, after all. But to deface synagogues. To be posted as provocation on college campuses. One student at Oklahoma City University School of Law was even expelled for using it. And we can go even deeper into the polling-math world. Yes, 21 percent of Black people weren’t sure how to respond to the phrase. The Washington Post reports that 20 percent of Democrats, 19 percent of women, and, this may be of interest, 25 percent who are neither Black nor white also said they weren’t sure. In truth, this is just a similar take to the use of the phrase “all lives matter” to try to discount the “Black Lives Matter” movement. The Post article also notes that other polls tell a different story. A 2020 American National Election Studies poll asked a “feeling thermometer” question on how, on a scale from 1 to 100, the races feel about each other. And 62 percent of Black people said they felt warmly about white people, and 66 percent of white people said they felt warmly about Black people. It’s not that we don’t have serious problems with racism in America. We do. Of course, we do. It’s not that we don’t have politicians and others trying to exploit the issue of white grievance. We do. Of course, we do. But if there’s any good to come from the Adams story — and who doesn’t like a happy ending? — I’m ready to hope that it’s still possible for a racist rant to be considered a rant too far.

LOWDOWN

By Jim Hightower jimhightower.com

For-profit health care

IS A KILLER Y OUR DOCTOR IS OUT and unable to see you now. Not out for lunch or out on vacation — but out of medical practice. America’s perverse health care system, which sublimates care to the profiteering demands of Wall Street speculators who essentially own today’s system, has been driving out hordes of nurses, pharmacists… and now doctors. These practitioners take their Hippocratic Oath seriously: “First, do no harm.” Yet, again and again they see corporate managers of hospital chains, physician clinics, etc., doing severe harm, routinely slashing staffing levels, eliminating services, rejecting low-income patients… and raising prices. All to prop up the profits of rich, absentee investors. A prominent physician recently wrote that, in 2021 alone, four times more doctors quit the profession than joined. He says his colleagues are demoralized by “the diseased systems for which we work.” The disease is money. The primary measure of “care” is now how much profit the system generates for its uncaring corporate owners, so one’s health is largely dependent on one’s wealth. The morally abominable result is that tens of thousands of preventable deaths are occurring each year. Yes, profit-based health care is a killer. LET’S TALK SPECIFICALLY ABOUT how our hospitals are killing us. Staffers aren’t going room to room snuffing out patients, of course, but hospital owners and top executives are nonetheless killing thousands of ill Americans entrusted to their care. They are doing so by deliberately short-staffing their facilities and shortchanging the sick and injured people they’re richly paid to serve. At the core of this outrage is a fatal structural flaw in our health care system — namely that these are no longer “our” hospitals. Instead of being public or nonprofit entities for the Common Good, focused squarely on patients, hospitals today tend to be private operations controlled by corporate profiteers. Pitting patients against profits is no way to

run a hospital, for it means money will ultimately rule over health (and over life itself). Just ask a nurse. These dedicated professionals are the solid pillars of American health. More than doctors and way more than administrators, nurses make a hospital function, providing the primary care and constant, on-site monitoring that are the essence of an ethical, healthy system. Yet thousands have already fled the work they love, another third plan to leave this year — and thousands more are going on strike.

TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PREVENTABLE DEATHS

are occurring each year.

Why? Because the profit system demands massive staff cuts, leaving way too few nurses to meet the basic needs of patients, causing burnout among nurses… and unnecessary deaths of the people they care for. A damning 2021 study revealed that forcing fewer nurses to tend to an ever-larger caseload effectively killed more than 4,000 New York hospital patients in the previous two years alone. This is Jim Hightower saying… It’s time to be blunt: For-profit health care is the creation of profiteers and the politicians they buy. It’s insane to let their greed dictate the allocation and quality of this essential human need. Luckily, a better way is right in front of us: Medicare. This enormously popular public program of universal coverage for each and every American over 65 has proven to be an effective and fair system that is far cheaper and much, much more caring than Wall Street’s privatized scheme. So, let’s eliminate the profiteers by extending Medicare to all of us — every woman, man and child in our society. To help, go to: ourrevolution.com/issues.

YOURTURN

N 2008, EL PASO COUNTY WAS struggling with extraordinary budget pressures. The Great Recession of 2008 had actually begun with a slowing national and regional economy in 2007. The recession resulted in reduced revenues for all local governments, but counties were especially hard hit because of their unique role in providing mandatory services which increase in cost when the economy is weak and unemployment rises. Thus, the Great Recession caused a greater need for county administered social services programs including those that directly impact child welfare. Looking back at that time, the county faced extraordinary increases in demands for food assistance, child welfare and child protection services. State laws require counties to bear the bulk of the burden to administer these services whether local tax revenues are keeping up with the increasing costs or not, and in 2007 and 2008, they were not. Bad economic times also caused a dramatic jump in crime, especially property crimes. This resulted in serious overcrowding in the county jail. Again, the county had no choice in the matter. The majority of detainees in the County Jail were arrested and charged by Colorado Springs city police officers, but once they have been arrested, the county must pay for the full costs of their incarceration including food, medical and transportation costs. When the 2008 budget process began, County Administrator Jeff Greene (now city chief of staff), County Budget Officer Nicola Sapp and the county attorney had already formulated a number of recommendations for the commissioners to consider in the Herculean task of developing a balanced budget. The com-

missioners adopted budget cuts that resulted in layoffs, early retirements and frozen salaries in all offices and departments, except the jail and the department of human services where there could be no cuts because of increased demands for services that must be provided by the county under state and federal laws.

The Great Recession caused a greater need FOR COUNTY ADMINISTERED SOCIAL SERVICES PROGRAMS. Draconian cuts in the few areas of the county budget where the commissioners have some discretion still left a sizeable budget gap and with so many county services being mandated by either state laws or federal laws, there were very few options remaining to balance the budget. Now keep in mind, the commissioners are required by law to submit a balanced budget to the state each year. So, with that backdrop the county was looking at all possible legal actions to submit a balanced budget and one of the very few options available was to reduce its road and bridge property tax levy and use specific ownership tax revenues to make the road and bridge fund whole. The commissioners took this action upon recommendation from senior county staff as well as the citizen-led Citizen Budget Oversight Committee. I certainly wish that there had been more options available to us back then, but there weren’t. We had to meet the state legislative mandates to serve a rapidly increasing number of inmates in the county jail at the same time we had to meet both state and federal mandates to provide timely and accurate administration of the social safety net.

Weird science

Just looking for a few minutes of peace and quiet? You might be tempted to step inside the anechoic chamber at Microsoft headquarters in Redmond, Washington, Oddity Central reported. However, even if you were allowed to try it, you might find it unbearable — it is the world’s quietest place, at -20.35 decibels. (Calm breathing clocks in at 10 decibels.) “As soon as one enters the room, one immediately feels a strange and unique sensation which is hard to describe,” said Hundraj Gopal, a speech and hearing scientist who helped design the chamber. “When you turn your head, you can hear that motion. The longest continuous time anyone has spent inside the chamber is 55 minutes,” Gopal said. Microsoft uses the room to test microphones, receivers, headphones and speakers.

• On Jan. 19 in Austin, Texas, Chris Newby was sleeping when “the whole house shook,” he said. “It sounds like a plane hit the house.” Instead, according to KXAN-TV, it was a car — an impaired driver barreled through Newby’s spare bedroom wall. “The entire room was just crunched,” he said. Ten days later, Newby received a letter from the city informing him that he was in violation of two codes: “One for having a hole in my house and one for having no window,” Newby said. The letter was dated the day of the crash and stipulated that he had 30 days to get repairs completed or face fines of up to $4,000 per day. “It felt tone-deaf to me,” he said. “I’m in violation for being a victim.” But Matthew Noriega, a division manager at the code department, said Newby has time: “If an extension is needed, we will give them that extension,” he clarified. Still, Newby said Austin “feels a little less like home every day.” Sad emoji. • In Florida, the state senate Democratic leader and canine fun-ruiner Lauren Book filed a piece of legislation that would make it illegal to let a dog “extend its head or any other body part outside” a moving car window, WTSP-TV reported on Feb. 21. The bill has other pet-related provisions relating to animal safety, including prohibiting pets riding in the open beds of pickups and drivers holding a dog in their lap. If passed, the bill will become law on July 1.

Free Will ASTROLOGY PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A financial adviser once told me I could adopt one of three approaches to running my business: 1) Ignore change; 2) always struggle with change, half-immobilized by mixed feelings about whether to change or stay pat; 3) learn to love and thrive on change. The adviser said that if I chose either of the first

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Repressed feelings and dormant passions are rising to the surface. I bet they will soon be rattling your brain and illuminating your heart, unleashing a soothing turbulence of uncanny glee. Will you get crazy and wise enough to coax the Great Mystery into blessing you with an inspirational revelation or two? I believe you will. I hope you will! The more skillful you are at generating rowdy breakthroughs, the less likely you are to experience a breakdown. Be as unruly as you need to be to liberate the very best healings. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You finally have all you need to finish an incomplete mission or resolve a mess of unsettled karma. The courage and determination you couldn’t quite summon before are now fully available as you invoke a climax that will prepare the way for your aweinspiring rebirth. Gaze into the future, dear Taurus, and scan for radiant beacons that will be your guides in the coming months. You have more help than you know, and now is the time to identify it and move toward it. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Our sun is an average star in a galaxy of 100 billion stars. In comparison to some of its flamboyant compatriots, it’s mediocre. Over 860 light years away is a blue-white supergiant star called Rigel, which is twice as hot as our sun and 40,000 times brighter. The red supergiant Antares, over 600 light years away, has 12 times more mass. Yet if those two show-offs had human attitudes, they might be jealous of our star, which is the source of energy for a planet teeming with 8.7 million forms of life. I propose we make the sun your role model for now, Gemini. It’s an excellent time to glory in your unique strengths and to exuberantly avoid comparing yourself to anyone else. CANCER (June 21-July 22): The philosophical principle known as Occam’s razor asserts that when trying to understand a problem or enigma, we should favor the simplest explanation with the fewest assumptions. While that’s often a useful approach, I don’t recommend it in the coming weeks. For you, nuances and subtleties will abound in every situation. Mere simplicity is unlikely to lead to a valid understanding. You will be wise to relish the complications and thrive on the paradoxes. Try to see at least three sides of every story. Further tips: 1) Mysteries may be truer than mere facts. 2) If you’re willing to honor your confusion, the full, rich story will eventually emerge.

two options, I would always be forced to change by circumstances beyond my control. The third approach is ultimately the only one that works. Now is an excellent time for you Pisceans to commit yourself fully to number three — for both your business and your life.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “There are no unsacred places,” wrote Leo poet Wendell Berry. “There are only sacred places and desecrated places.” Poet Allen Ginsberg agreed. “Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy!” he wrote. “Holy the solitudes of skyscrapers and pavements! Holy the cafeteria! Holy the mysterious rivers of tears under the streets! Holy the sea, holy the desert, holy the railroad.” With Berry’s and Ginsberg’s prompts as your inspiration, and in accordance with current astrological imperatives, I invite you to invigorate your relationship with sacredness. If nothing is sacred for you, do what it takes to find and commune with sacred things, places, animals, humans and phenomena. If you are already a lover of sacred wonders, give them extra love and care. To expand your thinking and tenderize your mood, give your adoration to these related themes: consecration, sublimity, veneration, devotion, reverence, awe and splendor. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): My favorite Buddhist monk, Thich Nhat Hanh, wrote the following: “In us, there is a river of feelings, in which every drop of water is a different feeling, and each feeling relies on all the others for its existence. To observe it, we just sit on the bank of the river and identify each feeling as it surfaces, flows by, and disappears.” I bring this meditation to your attention, Virgo, because I hope you will do it daily during the next two weeks. Now is an excellent time to cultivate an intense awareness of your feelings — to exult in their rich meanings, to value their spiritual power, to feel gratitude for educating and entertaining you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): How might your life come into clearer focus when you uncover secrets that inspire your initiative and ingenuity? What happens when resources that had been inaccessible become available for your enjoyment and use? How will you respond if neglected truths spring into view and point the way toward improvements in your job situation? I suspect you will soon be able to tell me stories about all this good stuff. PS: Don’t waste time feeling doubtful about whether the magic is real. Just welcome it and make it work for you! SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): It’s not the best time to tattoo a lover’s likeness on your abdomen. Maybe in May, but not now. On the other hand, the coming weeks will be an excellent time to see if your paramour might be willing to tattoo your name on their thigh. Similarly, this is a favorable period to investigate which of your allies would wake up at 5 a.m. to drive you

to the airport, and which of your acquaintances and friends would stop others from spreading malicious gossip about you, and which authorities would reward you if you spoke up with constructive critiques. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Redwoods are the tallest trees in the world. They may grow as high as 350 feet. Their roots are shallow, though, reaching down just six to 12 feet before spreading out 60 to 100 feet horizontally. And yet the trees are sturdy, rarely susceptible to being toppled by high winds and floods. What’s their secret? Their root systems are interwoven with those of other nearby redwoods. Together, they form networks of allies, supporting each other and literally sharing nutrients. I endorse this model for you to emulate in your efforts to create additional stability and security in your life, Sagittarius. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): What’s the best way to be fulfilled? Hard work and discipline? Are we most likely to flourish if we indulge only moderately in life’s sweet pleasures and mostly focus on the difficult tasks that build our skills and clout? Or is it more accurate to say that 90 percent of success is just showing up: being patient and persistent as we carry out the small day-to-day sacrifices and devotions that incrementally make us indispensable? Mythologist Joseph Campbell described a third variation: to “follow our bliss.” We find out what activities give us the greatest joy and install those activities at the center of our lives. As a Capricorn, you are naturally skilled at the first two approaches. In the coming months, I encourage you to increase your proficiency at the third. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Mackerels are unusual fish in that they must keep swimming nonstop. If they don’t, they die. Do they ever sleep? Scientists haven’t found any evidence that they do. I bring them up now because many of you Aquarians have resemblances to mackerels — and I think it’s especially crucial that you not act like them in the coming weeks. I promise you that nothing bad will happen if you slow way down and indulge in prolonged periods of relaxing stillness. Just the opposite in fact: Your mental and physical health will thrive as you give your internal batteries time and space to recharge.

Manitou Springs celebrates collaboration and volunteering through the Manni Awards Justin and Katie Snyder were regulars at The Loft when the previous owner said she was selling. The Snyders jumped right in and quit their jobs to run The Loft full time. They strive (and succeed!) to provide a welcoming space for the community. They support residents as they select local vendors and artists, while maintaining affordable menu options. They are grateful for being accepted as a valuable part of the Manitou Springs community.

Marc Benning was building a music career

for more than 25 years before landing in Colorado. He partnered with Ivywild School, attracting touring bands to perform, which led to Lulu’s Downstairs. The venue’s aesthetic and nostalgia captures a sense of history, keeping this Manitou landmark vibrant and alive with the sound of music.

of the Manitou Music Foundation. He works with local businesses and the Chamber of Commerce to keep live music flourishing in Manitou. During the COVID-19 downturn, he help organized compassionate support for local musicians.

Jared Thompson is one of Manitou’s best collaborators. He works with many businesses, foundations and community organizations, helping with websites, photography and a general helping hand.
