City Council hears chamber’s request for digital signage

By William J. Dagendesh

A request to install a digital messaging sign in at the Manitou Springs Chamber of Commerce was put on hold at the Dec. 13 City Council work session.

In October 2022, a windstorm destroyed the sign in front of the building at 354 Manitou Ave. The chamber has photos that show the sign toppled from its foundation, and electrical wiring and light bulbs yanked from their outlets.

In a memorandum to City Council, Planning Director Hannah Van Nimwegen-McGuire said the chamber is seeking an “official sign” designation that would allow a digital messaging component.

A grant was tailored to assist in the region’s economic recovery during the COVID-19 pandemic, Van Nimwegen-McGuire said.

Santa made his annual appearance at the Manitou Springs Kiwanis Club’s annual event, which took place at the Community Congregational Church on Dec. 10.

“In their application for this grant, the Chamber of Commerce stated, ‘Our capacity for business and event promotion, as well as important messages through the marquee is limited to two messages, four lines of 12

What you need to know about the Bulletin’s future

By Rhonda Van Pelt

Editor’s note: Almost all copies of our Dec. 8 issue were accidentally taken from our company’s downtown Colorado Springs office. It would be too expensive to reprint the issue, so we are publishing this important story again.

Approximately 30-35 people got a behind-thescenes look at what’s been happening, and what’s next, for the Bulletin. They attended the Dec. 1 meeting about the newspaper in the Manitou Art Center’s conference room.

Amy Gillentine, the newspaper’s publisher, explained that her local career began with the Colorado Springs Business Journal in 2005. When John Weiss purchased it in 2012, she joined his company as a reporter, and after a two-year stint at the Air Force Academy, came back as editor of the Business Journal.

She took over as publisher of the CSBJ and associated papers in 2017 and took the reins of the Colorado Springs Independent in 2019.

After July 2022, when Weiss decided to retire,

he handed the company reins to Gillentine. That includes overseeing operations at the Indy, CSBJ, Southeast Express, the Colorado Springs Military Newspaper Group and the Bulletin.

“I was a reporter for most of my career, and find myself now as publisher of the new nonprofit 6035 Media. And that (the nonprofit) is the result of about three months of extremely hard work,” she told the crowd.

characters, and must be manually changed. With an official sign that displays digital messages, our capacity would increase dramatically,’” Van Nimwegen-McGuire reported.

“‘With more people turning to online resources for planning and the increase in return visitors to the Pikes Peak region, this new digital sign would allow us to get those eyes on new and updated information for businesses, events, and public health and safety messaging. Manitou Springs Planning Department would offer support to a request for this official sign designation.’”

During the work session, Chamber Board President Farley McDonough and Executive Director Leslie Lewis discussed the benefits of digital signage. In a Nov. 9 letter, Lewis wrote that a digital sign would allow several messages to be presented to the community and visitors within a 16-hour period.

The chamber hopes to have message changeovers no more than every eight seconds and having messages change instantaneously without blinking, flashing or scrolling.

“Over a 16-hour period, we could do several announcements. We think it’s more effective for a sign in front of the chamber,” Lewis said.

“A digital sign would increase communication capacity and accommodate messaging for residents, businesses and visitors at the same time. Safety messaging would always be the top priority. In addition to chamber staff, the Manitou Springs public information officer, Fire Department and Police Department could have access to change the sign in an emergency from remote locations.”

In 2021, El Paso County awarded a $50,000 grant to the Chamber of Commerce to update the

reader board sign then in front of the building. However, when staffers encountered some obstacles with the code, the chamber was inspired to move quickly in getting the sign replaced and information out to the community.

“The grant money has been extended for one year. But, if the digital sign is not accepted, we have to return the money, so we are under a bit of a timeline as far as the grant money goes. The bigger concern is there is nothing in front of the chamber telling the community the things going on in town, which is a great concern to us,” McDonough said.

Chamber staff spoke to three companies and received three designs, each incorporating the chamber logo elements. The board agreed on a sign that is aesthetically pleasing, shorter than the destroyed board and that blends in with its surroundings.

The board had the proposed designs drafted. However, in June, city staff overturned the department’s previous stance on supporting the proposed sign, citing the express language and intent of the Manitou Springs Sign Code in prohibiting digital signage.

According to Van Nimwegen-McGuire, a letter was drafted to El Paso County offering support in extending the grant award to allow the Chamber of Commerce additional time to re-design without the digital component. An extension was granted. If council disapproves a digital sign, a new reader board-type sign similar to the design presented would cost the city approximately $26,000.

Lewis said the sign would adhere to International Dark-Sky Association guidelines. The IDA is an authority on light pollution and is the leading organization combating it worldwide.

This means the sign can’t use flashing graphics

or flashing messages, and can’t be used to promote private enterprises, businesses or events being held by a single private enterprise where the event would result in sales for one particular business, unless the city is a sponsor or assisting in the event.

The city retains the right to require a change in what’s displayed in the digital messaging. Also, the city can utilize the sign to communicate messages related to public safety, public health, water restrictions, fire restrictions, road closures and emergencies.

Councilor Judith Chandler voiced concerns over the digital sign and quoted IDA guidelines.

“Electronic billboards can be up to 10 times brighter at night than traditionally lit billboards, and can be harmful to the nighttime environment,” she said.

“LED (light-emitting diode) lighting from EMCs (electromagnetic compatibility) can’t be shielded, so the light emitted is flooded into the night sky, which wastes energy and contributes to light pollution.”

Councilor Julie Wolfe said she had received feedback opposing the sign.

“I got some phone calls from people who said they don’t like it at all,” Wolfe said.

Lewis emphasized that the request was slated as a 2023 goal, but that the windstorm made it a more pressing issue.

“We have had several residents ask when the sign would be replaced as they look at it for information,” Lewis said.

No vote was made until further research is conducted and presented to council for approval/ disapproval. The next regular meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 20.

City Council approves proposed 2023 budget

By William J. Dagendesh

Editor’s note: Since most of last week’s issues disappeared, we’re rerunning this important story.

On Tuesday, Dec. 6, Manitou Springs City Council unanimously approved the proposed Fiscal Year 2023 budget and amended the annual budget for 2022.

Councilors cast their votes after a second reading and public hearing.

“The way it stands now, the forecasted ending General Fund/unassigned fund balance for 2023 is $8,243,706,” said Finance Director Rebecca Davis.

She said the proposed budget has no sales tax to give to the Urban Renewal Authority with respect to the Holiday Inn Express, and currently has no sales tax going to the URA, only the property tax.

“For 2023, there is nothing. For 2022, there is close to $400,000 that was given to the URA in the first part of the year,” Davis said.

The meeting recalled the Oct. 11 special work session, when council voted 7-0 to approve submitting the proposed budget. State law requires the budget officer to submit a proposed budget to the governing body, which must then publish notice of the budget by Oct. 15.

During that session, Davis said the fund balance for the general operating fund was projected at $6,689,712. That was for the recommended budget, assuming Colorado Springs approved retail marijuana in November, and that the Mobility and Parking Enterprise Fund remained separate.

Davis had said that the General Fund summary had been updated to reflect changes not in this budget, but would be included at the first reading on Nov. 15. These changes would reduce the ending fund balance by $212,000 to $6,477,712.

Davis said she calculated the Cog Railway payment for 2023 and the estimate for that came to approximately $600,000.

At the Dec. 6 meeting, URA Chair Debbie Sagen said the URA presented its budget to the recent Boards and Commissions meeting, and that the URA wants to collaborate with council on executing projects presented in the budget.

“In the new year, as we adopt our own budget,

we would like to work on projects we think are important and agree to carry them out together,” Sagen said.

Councilor Natalie Johnson voiced interest in collaborating on projects, and Councilor Judith Chandler congratulated Davis and her staff for their efforts.

“You put together two budgets. … I appreciate your hard work,” Chandler said.

Council also voted 7-0 to deny the application of a major conditional-use (mobile food vendor) permit at Emerald Fields recreational marijuana dispensary, 27 Manitou Ave., until a new land-use code is passed. Applicant Holly Carpenter requested to park one food truck at a time in the parking lot 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Mondays-Wednesdays.

According to Senior Planner Chelsea Stromberg, the site is zoned commercial with re-development overlay designed to provide greater flexibility and encourage a mix of land uses. She said one of the development and design objectives found in the City Code is encouraging pedestrian-friendly mixed uses.

“Food trucks almost exclusively serve pedestrians through walk-up service windows. Additional dining options can promote pedestrian activity from the area’s high concentration of lodging establishments without impacting parking on site,” Stromberg said.

conditional-use permit is valid only while the business is operational at 27 Manitou Ave.

Council President Pro Tem Nancy Fortuin said she believes the new land-use code, expected to be completed soon, would allow for temporary approval of such requests.

“Currently, if we approve a major conditional-use permit, we can’t make it temporary, correct?” Fortuin asked.

“With the new code, as it’s currently proposed, this request would fall under a temporary use permit,” said City Planner Hannah Van Nimwegen-McGuire.

Carpenter said the variety of food trucks will help enhance business.

“The intent is to bring people into our business … we are seeing a significant drop in business and we are aiming our food trucks at the neighborhood, people who are staying in the hotels around the area, but also to customers 21 and over,” Carpenter said.

Councilor John Shada questioned hygiene provisions.

— Debbie Sagen

“Is Emerald Fields going to provide restrooms for people to wash their hands? How is that going to work?” Shada asked.

Stromberg said food trucks typically don’t offer restroom facilities. However, the food trucks will provide sanitizers and hand-washing stations, Carpenter said.

Currently, the business offers 75 parking spaces, including an off-site auxiliary parking lot.

The conditional-use permit, which allowed Emerald Fields to operate at that location, required 40 parking spaces.

“It is staff’s analysis that the existing parking is sufficient for the existing business as well as the food truck business,” Stromberg said.

She said she received two statements opposing the application. However, the Planning Commission recommended approval with the condition that only one mobile vendor is permitted to operate at a time, hours are limited to 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Mondays-Wednesdays and that the major

Council invited Carpenter to re-submit her application with fees waived under the new land-use code. The first reading will be held later this month with the second reading, tentatively, on Jan. 3.

Lastly, Council voted 7-0 to appoint Alan Delwiche to the Pikes Peak Rural Transportation Authority/Citizen Advisory Committee, and to re-appoint him as a regular member of the City Planning Commission.

Delwiche lost to John Graham in the 2021 mayoral election. Delwiche has 25 years of experience with the city’s planning commission, and has served with the Housing Advisory Board and the Urban Renewal Authority Board.

Please limit them to 300 words; the Bulletin reserves the right to edit for clarity and space. If you have more to say, please inquire about writing a guest column of 600 to 800 words. We’ll need to know about those by noon Monday of the publication week. Since columns take up a full page, we may have to hold them for a week because we don’t have space. Send letters and inquiries about guest columns to editor@pikespeakbulletin.com or mail them to:

Pikes Peak Bulletin, attn. editor, 513 Manitou Ave., Manitou Springs 80829.

Letters and the actual columns are due noon Tuesday of the publication week.

The Bulletin does not publish anonymous letters, nor will we investigate claims made in an anonymous letter. If you have reason to fear retribution or other negative impacts, we can keep your identity a secret. We have to know who you are.

We would like to work on projects we think are important.

The nonprofit launched Nov. 1 with a board of directors including Ralph Routon, longtime Manitou resident and the Bulletin’s executive editor emeritus, and Weiss as a nonvoting member.

The board will not have any influence on the newspapers’ editorial decisions. Instead, each newspaper’s editor answers to Gillentine and she answers to the board.

“We will continue to report the news independent of any influence,” she said.

Weiss’ abrupt departure meant changes to the company’s operations on top of other challenges.

“The pandemic upset so many apple carts, and we’re no exception. There’s a supply chain issue with newsprint; it’s gone up something like 400 percent in the past two years alone,” Gillentine said.

After researching the newspapers’ audiences, Gillentine and Dr. Ahriana Platten found they reach 25 percent of the local population online and about 30 percent in print.

“When we looked at our options, it was, frankly, to close everything, take it nonprofit or try to find a buyer very quickly. And I believe that these papers are worthy of community support, and that the community will support them,” Gillentine said.

For several reasons, it just makes good business sense to fully combine resources and “put those voices into one publication,” Gillentine said. Sixty35 magazine will launch Thursday, Jan. 12.

“We will build those bridges from Southeast and from Manitou to other parts of the city and tell the stories, not just to Manitou residents, but to people who are in Monument and maybe have never been here, to people in southeast Colorado Springs who have never been to Manitou, and really start to create a community in El Paso County by connecting those audiences,” she said.

The new nonprofit’s mission is to “deliver the truth, to build community and to engage citizens.” As a nonprofit, the newspapers cannot endorse political candidates or ballot initiatives, but can publish impartial news stories to inform readers.

Free copies will be available on the streets, but if readers want to ensure they receive what’s being called an “über publication” every week, they’ll need to subscribe.

Current Bulletin subscribers will receive it at the same cost, but that will increase after the first year. Readers will be able to subscribe easily and securely on the new, overarching website, sixty35media.org, which will go live Jan. 1. Subscribers are also members of Sixty35.

Readers also can opt for a membership. That includes privileges such as participation in conversations about community issues, how they are covered and what readers need and want, emailed PDFs of each week’s issue and invitations to members-only events. The basic level will cost $10 per month.

Gillentine said that 10 percent of membership dollars will go to scholarships for new journalists from diverse backgrounds to help improve trust and encourage voices from underserved communities.

“We’re hoping that there will be ownership from

the readers, from people like you who care enough to come here that you’ll want the paper to continue to succeed and to exist. And that will be the motivation, also to pay at some level for a subscription, and hopefully a membership,” Routon said.

The nonprofit has received grants matching grants of $5,000 from Colorado Media Project and $250,000 from Weiss. Sixty35 Media has until the end of 2023 to raise the matching funds the Colorado Media Project, but has a year to meet Weiss’ grant challenge.

In January, readers can go to sixty35media.org and

Routon answered additional questions from the audience about Manitou content. The Bulletin will aim to publish timely stories, such as City Council, online, then publish what’s happening next in the print version.

“We understand that people are nervous and that there’s a strong love of the Bulletin here and of the Indy in Colorado Springs, and we are doing our best to preserve the best of what we do. And to deliver it in a very efficient way,” Gillentine said.

She also promised that the Bulletin editor will continue to be based in Manitou Springs. (Note: We are exploring options to share the Manitou Art Center office with one quiet person or move to a less-expensive one, preferably downtown. Send ideas to rvanpelt@sixty35media.org.)

“Amy is from a small town in Mississippi, I’m from a small town in Arkansas,” Routon said. “The last thing that we would ever want to be part of is something that would take a newspaper away from a small community.”

He explained that Weiss had hoped for a town hall-type meeting and “$100,000 would fall into our lap and that would be enough seed money to keep us going.”

But, as he echoed Gillentine, this plan will guarantee that Manitou residents, business owners and visitors still have a publication they can rely on, one where they can express opinions and learn more about local issues.

Gillentine explained that full information about advertising and subscribing will be released during a multimedia marketing campaign.

find the news they’re interested in — updated daily.

“The very cool thing about it is, it’s customizable. So if you want Manitou news, maybe arts and culture, and maybe politics, that’s what you will be delivered when you go to the website. So it’s tailored to what people want to see,” Gillentine explained.

The greatest advantage of the new publication for Manitou businesses and other entities that advertise: Readers from throughout the region will learn more about what’s available here, upcoming events, etc. Current advertisers will see the same rates for the first year and can decide where their ads appear in the publication.

Also, Sixty35 Media will participate in “story share” through the Colorado Media Project, sharing local content with newspapers across the state.

Gillentine explained that newspapers need to have 50 percent advertising content to support 50 percent editorial content so they can meet budget goals and the company expenses. For instance, that would be a half-page ad or two quarter-page ads below or next to an opinion submission or feature story.

The more advertising received from Manitou, Old Colorado City and Lower Ute Pass, the more information from and about those areas can be published.

Gillentine promised that everything that appears in the current Bulletin print edition will continue in the new print publication or online. Some of the content will appear in a section of the publication called “The Village,” while others will appear with listings and editorials from Colorado Springs.

The Bulletin will continue to publish every week as usual, but the Independent will pause publication starting Dec. 21. They, along with the other publications, will be wrapped into the Jan. 12 issue of Sixty 35 magazine.

The traditional year-end retrospective will appear in the Bulletin’s Dec. 29 and Jan. 5 issues.

The office will be closed between Christmas and New Year’s Day, but the Police Beat and any breaking news will be posted on Facebook and the website, pikespeakbulletin.com, so that those readers will receive important information through the break.

“It’s a challenging time in media, everybody knows that. But local media is important. Independent local media is even more important,” Gillentine said.

“We’ve spent the past three months developing this and getting ready for it to launch. I am excited about the future and terrified, but … these plans are really coming together in a way that I think will be a game changer.”

IN GRATITUDE

To Amy Gillentine and Ralph Routon, thank you for all your diligent, thoughtful work on this transition. To all the caring Bulletin readers who gave their time to listen and ask questions, we appreciate you.

To Cathy Reilly, our incredible friend and colleague in the Colorado Springs office, thanks for your help with the meeting.

Allen gets into record books at University Tournament

Story and photo

by Daniel Mohrmann

The Manitou Springs girls basketball team got its first taste of victory at the University Tournament in Greeley.

The Mustangs started play with a 54-27 win over Middle Park. Perhaps the biggest difference in that game, compared to the previous two, was that the Mustangs (1-4 overall) got off to a fast start, which proved beneficial in the long run.

“We were pretty confident with the ball and we were confident shooting,” coach Juliana Argyle said. “We need to be putting up these better shots against teams with stronger defenses.”

Manitou went 1-2 at the tournament, losing to University and then losing a tight game with Alamosa. Perhaps the biggest plague in the loss to the 37-35 Mean Moose was going 16-for-32 from the free throw line.

If the Mustangs had shot just 60 percent from the charity stripe, they would’ve walked away with a win.

Manitou Springs guard Grace Allen attacks the basket during the Mustangs’ loss to Peyton on Nov. 30. Allen became the Manitou single-game record holder in steals, swiping 15, in a loss to Alamosa last weekend.

The good news coming out of the Alamosa loss was Grace Allen establishing herself in the record books. She recorded 15 steals in that game, breaking the Manitou single-game record of 11, which was set by Jill Keaveny (2002) and later tied by Angala Jensen (2016).

Argyle and the coaching staff hope that Allen can put her name on a few more records this year — and that her performance can lead the Mustangs to more wins this season.

“It’s nice to come back and do something that you can be recognized for,” Allen said. “It’s a fun thing to have happen.”

But she’d trade steals for wins any day of the week; that’s the goal for her and her teammates moving forward.

Allen is averaging a team-high 16 points per game with Sami Benge-Kulzer, McKesson Rhodes and Tori Greene all hovering around five.

The Dec. 13 home-opener against La Junta was postponed because of weather, so the Mustangs will play at home for the first time when they face Atlas Prep on Friday, Dec. 16.

Wrestlers enjoying solid start to season on the mats

By Daniel Mohrmann

The trip to Salida on Dec. 10 was well worth it for the Manitou Springs wrestling teams. The Mustangs put together solid performances on both sides, getting a total of three first-place finishes at the Rob Mickal Tournament. That led to solid team standings as the boys took sixth out of 17 teams and the girls took third out five teams.

The girls were powered by a pair of first-place finishes as Alex Traenkle claimed the 115-pound title while Abbie Reeves won at 130. Maggie Ganser took second in the 105 bracket and Kara Donegan (135) and Emily Davis (155) each finished third.

“It was a lot of fun,” Traenkle said. “It was good to start the season off strong and watching Abbie wrestle was fun. I’ve been her (practice) partner so it was good to see her succeed.”

Abbie wasn’t the only member of the Reeves family to walk away with gold — her older brother, Westley, took the 190-pound title on the boys side. He pinned each of his two opponents in less than 30 seconds to take the top podium spot with ease.

He’s trying not to get carried away with those results and insists on using each experience as part of the process to improve as the Mustangs get deeper into the season.

“I’m trying to stay humble and not get an ego about it,” Reeves said. “It’s easy to be content because everything is so easy in these matches. You can always think that you’re the best, but that’s not what my mindset is. I want to continue to get better.”

That seems to be the entire team’s mindset after two tournaments. The Mustang have seen a good amount of success already this season, but the important thing to keep improving and not settling for success now. They’d rather achieve success later.

“Last weekend was a big stepping stone for us,” coach Paul Bonner said. “That was good for a lot of kids who had maybe never gotten on a podium or gotten a medal before. It was a good reward for all the hard work.”

For the boys, Connor Crossen took third at 132 and Cam Jacobson took fourth at 144. They head to the Sheridan Invite for another tournament on Saturday, Dec. 17.

Boys basketball team sees first bit of adversity

focus in on and one of them is turning the ball over.”

Early-season adversity is nothing new for any high school sports team. For the Manitou Springs boys basketball team, a lesson was learned in the adversity it faced at the University Tournament last weekend.

Manitou went 1-2, getting a win against Frontier Academy sandwiched between losses to Middle Park and DSST: Montview. Moving forward, the players and coach Brian Vecchio expressed the need for upperclassmen to ensure that they’re taking on the leadership roles that come with being veterans on the team.

“We obviously haven’t figured everything out team-wise,” Lairden Rogge said. “We got pressured in the games we lost and the pressure affected us a fair amount. We fell apart and we backed off from the challenge and shied away.”

Rogge scored nine points in the loss to Middle Park, second on the team only to John Maynard’s 18. It was a rough weekend overall

when considering the Mustangs (3-2 overall) had given up a total of 70 points in their first two games but gave up far more than that in their losses.

Middle Park won the game 58-41 and Montview won 74-66. Manitou rolled

to a 64-28 win over Frontier Academy.

“We need our leaders to lead,” coach Brian Vecchio said. “We need our best players to step up and lead guys. We identified some areas over the weekend that we really need to

The early minutes of the Frontier Academy win were a battle, but Evan Scherr scored seven of the Mustangs’ first 11 points to help the team keep pace before it eventually pulled away.

The Mustangs have a couple more games before going into the winter break, but seeing some flaws in their play comes at a time when there is still plenty of opportunity to clean up the mistakes and head into January a more polished team.

“It was crucial for us to see (adversity) then and not after the break,” Rogge said. “Right now, it’s easy to fix because we still have plenty of practices and a lot of the season left. If we saw it later, like in the playoffs, it’s tougher to come back from.”

The Mustangs head to Bishop Machebeuf on Thursday before playing in their home opener against Atlas Prep on Friday night.

Their Tuesday, Dec. 13, game against La Junta was postponed, possibly to Wednesday, Jan. 4.

Swimmers encouraged after first big meet of season

By Daniel Mohrmann

For its first taste of a big meet, the Manitou Springs girls swim team saw some encouraging results as it prepares for one of the season’s toughest meets: the Cheyenne Mountain Invite.

At last weekend’s Berthoud Break the Ice Invite, the Mustangs finished eighth out of 17 teams, most of which were Class 5A and 4A teams.

Overall, the Mustangs had seven individual top-10 finishes and had three relay teams finish in the top 10. It was a great demonstration of the balance the Mustangs have when it comes to young and experienced swimmers.

“Because it was such a big meet, we knew it was time to really go and try to get placements,” Sophia Hyman said. “A lot of us were going for state times because it was such a fast pool.”

Hyman finished seventh in the 100-yard breaststroke with a time of 1 minute, 20.39. She also got an

eighth-place finish in the 200 individual medley at 2:38.73.

Selah Combs took sixth in the 100 freestyle, and Summer Tenpas took ninth in the 100 butterfly and eighth in the 100 breaststroke, Theron Heim took 10th in the 200 freestyle and Roxanna Rampe took eighth in the 500 freestyle.

“It builds a lot of confidence for us, seeing those better times,” Combs said. “Seeing how we performed as a team gives us a lot of confidence and readiness when we’re heading into these meets.”

The Mustangs traveled to La Junta for a dual on Dec. 14, but results were not available at press time. Next up is the two-day Cheyenne Mountain Invite, which gives the Mustangs their first feel of what the state tournament could feel like.

For a team looking to regain a competitive spirit at state, the results at Cheyenne Mountain are crucial in terms of evaluating progress and striving for growth.

Library cards will BROADEN HORIZONS for D14 students

Courtesy of Manitou Springs School District 14

We have exciting news for District 14 students — library cards are in!

“This summer I worked closely with Pikes Peak Library District, and we decided to try it through our online registration process,” said Cat Olimb, the school district’s director of technology. “We had more than a thousand kids sign up.”

D14 students who signed up will receive their cards in the mail over the next few weeks.

“We’re checking out a lot of books,” said Olimb. “We’re actually probably one of the school districts in Colorado that, through Overdrive, has been checking out the most books, especially during COVID.”

Overdrive is the largest online book provider in the nation.

With this library card, students are able to access books, computers and printers. They also can take advantage of some really cool programs in the Manitou Art Center’s makerspaces.

“The Manitou Springs Library is obviously currently here in the MAC, which gives us a lot of new opportunities that we did not have when we were up at the Carnegie,” said Taryn Malila, Manitou Springs Library manager.

“The main thing is the MAC partnership, which gives library card owners of any age access to the MAC as long as they apply for a MAC membership — but that is free with a library card.”

The MAC has a woodshop, pottery studio, design and computer lab, just to name a few offerings.

“The school district is really excited to join forces with Pikes Peak Library District. For many years, we’ve already been able to provide thousands of books online through Overdrive and SORA,” an app that allows students to download books, Olimb said.

“This was possible through a grant and also partnership with PPLD and the Board of Cooperative Education Services.”

State wins $171 million broadband project grant

The U.S. Department of the Treasury has approved the Colorado Broadband Office’s plan to spend $171 million from the American Rescue Plan’s Coronavirus Capital Projects Fund to connect more Colorado households to high-speed internet.

The CPF grant will be used to connect 18,000 unserved households with reliable internet, fund fiber infrastructure projects to prepare for future internet needs and support Colorado communities with the most urgent broadband needs. CPF and future federal broadband funding will be administered to subgrantee recipients through the Advance Colorado Broadband grant program in 2023.

“As we continue to save people money on reliable, affordable internet, we

are thrilled that this exciting federal grant will bring money-savings to an estimated 18,000 locations across Colorado, including homes, businesses, agriculture, and more, building upon our work to bring high-speed internet to 99percent of Coloradans in the next five years,” said Gov. Jared Polis.

The Department of the Treasury requires states to use CPF money for infrastructure projects that directly connect households to high-speed internet. Of approximately 3 million serviceable locations in Colorado, it’s estimated that 14 percent, or 360,000 locations, are unserved or underserved by federal standards, meaning they do not have internet service with speeds of 25 MBPS download/3 MBPS upload.

Manitou the right place for outdoor activities

Greetings from Pedestrian and Cycle Manitou (PaC-MAN)! A Manitou resident recently nominated Rayna Lindsey for an interview about getting around Manitou Springs via multimobility.

We thank ALL the folks who were willing to share their stories this year about getting around Manitou on foot, bicycle or via other multimobility means. PaC-MAN encourages community members to reach out to us to share your stories as well.

How long have you been a resident and why did you choose to live in Manitou?

I’ve lived here off and on since 1976. I love the small-town vibe where I can get to know people I see over and over again. My neighbors are the greatest! I originally picked Manitou for its proximity to wild spaces, walkability, bikeability and public transit. I like living close to downtown.

What are the pros/cons of walking/ rolling/taking the bus in Manitou?

I am easily able to leave my car parked for multiple days at a time. I walk, bike or take the bus frequently. But when I have to shop in Colorado Springs, I usually drive.

What infrastructure and/or aesthetic improvement would have the most positive impact on your walking/ rolling/taking the bus experiences in Manitou?

I’d love to have a grocery store in Manitou that was big enough to stock good produce. The town’s paved streets are generally pretty good, but certain streets, such as Lover’s

Lane, are important for bikes. I know Colorado Springs Utilities tore it all up over the past year, but I’d appreciate it getting put back smoothly so I don’t feel like I’m taking my life in my hands to ride it. Fix potholes promptly because they can do a number on a bicyclist.

What advice would you give someone who would like to give walking/rolling/taking the bus as transportation a try but does not have much time?

Pick somewhere close as a destination. If you drink alcohol, it’s a good idea to walk. Also try parking a distance away and then walking to your destination. All the activity we do adds up. Walking, climbing stairs, all these contribute to being fit and a higher quality of life.

What do you think would increase more walking and rolling of visitors and residents?

It’s a mindset thing. We are so used to hopping in the car for everything. I like to stop and think about my destination and decide if there’s a way to get there without driving. Few visitors know about the wonderful Creek Walk Trail. I hope the chamber, hotels and other visitor amenities can promote use of this great path and other ways to get around.

What other form of transportation do you use and what has that experience been like?

I have traveled by air — but rarely, and bus or train in the past. I’ve also used Uber and Lyft a time or two. I plan to use Bustang in the near future to get to Denver.

Deer died after fighting with other bucks

According to the Colorado Department of Parks and Wildlife, Officer Cassidy English investigated the deaths of two deer found on Mayfair Avenue on Dec. 7. She determined they died from injuries sustained during fights with other deer.

Injuries from antlers can look very similar to gunshot wounds, but CPW officers are trained to differentiate these injuries during a necropsy.

Deer are currently in rut, their breeding season when

bucks become aggressive and use their antlers to fight other bucks for the opportunity to mate. It is common for the losing deer to sustain life-threatening injuries during these fights.

“Bucks can turn this aggression toward people or pets as well, so be sure not to attract deer to your yard and keep your distance if you see one. Be sure to keep your pets on a leash and under control at all times,” Joey Livingston, statewide public information officer, wrote in a release.

MACH grant applications for 2023 being accepted

The Manitou Arts, Culture, and Heritage Board is accepting grant applications for 2023.

Applicants should submit their funding requests by Jan. 6, 2023, after which the board will evaluate submissions, learn the exact amount of available funding from 2022 MACH tax revenues and make grant recommendations in late February for Manitou Springs City Council approval.

As set up in the MACH tax initiative approved in 2019, 66 percent of grant funds will go to designated Tier 1 entities: Carnegie Library, Hiawatha Gardens, Manitou Art Center, Manitou Springs Heritage Center and the Miramont Castle Museum.

The other 34 percent goes to Tier 2 competitive grants, available to residents, nonprofits, businesses and others to assist in programs and events that benefit Manitou.

Last year, MACH funds produced about $475,000 in grants — with $324,043 going to the Tier 1 recipients and about $150,000 for Tier 2 grants. Early estimates suggest the amount for 2023 grants will decrease slightly.

Grant applicants can access the online application form at bit.ly/MACHGrants or go to the MACH page on the city website, www.tinyurl. com/MACHBoard, and click on the “MACH Application Forms” link. Applications for more than $750 must also include a budget of projected

revenues and expenses.

Applicants for mini-grants ($750 or less) will complete a simpler form that does not require a detailed budget.

Any individuals or nonprofits who received MACH grants last year must turn in 2022 project completion reports before being considered for 2023 grants.

HELP WANTED

The MACH Board has vacancies for two alternates. Applicants must be Manitou residents, ideally with some awareness of the MACH tax initiative. If interested, email MACHBoard@ manitouspringsco.gov.

Happy Cats Haven – Pet of the Week

Hello, we’re Oscar and Roy, two inseparable kittens who are ready for our next big adventure! We’re both ready for any occasion; Oscar wears his tuxedo daily and I’m classic in black like a mini-panther. We had a rough start in life but now we love laps, purrs and pets. We’re 3-month-old kittens who go crazy for playtime! Our foster family had a loving and busy home so we should do well with other feline-friendly cats, dogs and kids as long as we have a gentle introduction to each, one at a time. Our adoption together is just $210 and includes our neuters, vaccinations, microchips, food and litter starter kits, and a free well-kitty checkup each.

Humane Society – Pet of the Week

My name is Sunny and I’m here to make you smile! I’m a 7-year-old calico and brown tiger that came into HSPPR as an owner surrender and now I’m ready to find my new home. I’m in one of HSPPR’s cat colony rooms, where I get to spend my day hanging out with other cats and meeting new people. I can be shy at first, so I might do my own thing when you first come in the door. But don’t let that fool you — I’m a social butterfly once I’m comfortable. My adoption is $35 and I come with a voucher for a veterinary exam, vaccinations, 30 days of pet health insurance and a microchip, and I am already spayed. Just ask for Sunny (1616777).
