The new 16-foot-tall public art piece “Tomorrow,” at East Costilla and Tejon streets Downtown, was created by James Mortier Will V of Colorado Springs. The piece, installed last week, is constructed of perforated stainless steel and weighs 1,200 pounds. At night, the sculpture projects bright colorful lights.
El Paso County officials plan to finish clearing out multiple homeless encampments along B Street in the Stratmoor Hills neighborhood this month.
The Sheriff’s Office says the camps have caused “dangerous conditions,” both for occupants and nearby residents, including a murder and fire in October, according to a Dec. 30 EPCSO release. County Fire Chiefs had pleaded with the Board of County Commissioners to take action on the issue after the Oct. 10 fire, which threatened several homes in the neighborhood.
Officials were previously unable to clean up the camps because they are located on private property. But in November, a district court judge ordered that county Code Enforcement and EPCSO personnel could do so to ensure public safety, the Sheriff’s release says. The ruling was a result of a lawsuit filed by the county attorney.
All but one of the camps were cleared as of Dec. 30, and the area will be fully cleaned up by the end of January, the release says.
“In general, and as has been evidenced by these particular camps, crime and dangerous conditions are often inherent to the daily life of those experiencing homelessness,” the release says. “Conversely, the quality of life of housed persons living and working in that immediate area has also certainly been degraded by the presence of these camps.”
EPCSO encouraged people experiencing homelessness and those who know them to seek support from the several organizations that provide shelter and services in Colorado Springs and the county. The city of Colorado Springs shares a list at coloradosprings.gov/gethelp. — GAJ

WESLEY COSGROVE, a Colorado Springs firefighter, was driving a brush truck on Oct. 16 to a fire in Dorchester Park when he ran over what appeared to be a pile of blankets.
But those blankets turned out to be covering a homeless woman, who was killed in the incident.
He’s been charged with careless driving resulting in death, a misdemeanor, and he’ll get no help from his employer in fighting that charge.
That’s because City Council voted 6-2 on Dec. 13 to not support Cosgrove in the criminal case (Councilor Yolanda Avila was absent).
The decision has triggered outrage among firefighters who are members of
He was referring to a 2020 state law that bars qualified immunity as a defense against state constitutional claims and allows a plaintiff who claims to be a victim of unconstitutional police conduct to bring a lawsuit in state court that subjects officers to a $25,000 personal liability cap if found liable for constitutional violations.

park along the southeast corner of the park,” police reported. “Due to the old parking lot being blocked off, the truck drove south from the parking area where the park and curb meet. This area has been repeatedly driven over and is therefore dirt. Where the worn dirt path and grass meet, there was debris consisting of blankets and other items on the ground. It was here the brush truck attempted to turn west and, as the brush truck made the turn, it struck the victim, Margaret Miller, who was under the items on the
Although fire personnel immediately began lifesaving efforts, Miller, 76, died.
On Nov. 10, 4th Judicial District Attorney Michael Allen’s Office charged Cosgrove, the brush truck driver, with careless driving resulting in death, a class 1 misdemeanor traffic offense.
The offense carries a penalty of 10 days to one year in jail and a fine of $300 to $1,000.
Department reported that at 2:45 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 16, a citizen called police to report a man attempting to start a fire in Dorchester Park, 1130 S. Nevada Ave., a longtime hangout for people experiencing homelessness.
The Fire Department responded and determined a brush truck was needed to extinguish the fire in a tree stump.
“The brush truck tried to enter the
The statute defines the crime as an action taken by “a person who drives a motor vehicle, bicycle, electrical assisted bicycle, or low-power scooter in a careless and imprudent manner, without due regard for the width, grade, curves, corners, traffic, and use of the streets and highways and all other attendant circumstances.”
Tim Bussey, a Colorado Springs criminal defense lawyer who’s handled dozens of careless driving cases and has no connection to the Cosgrove case, says the key words in the definition of the charge
are “without due regard for ... attendant circumstances.”
“Here you would have a person [Cosgrove] on an emergency call,” Bussey says. “We get reports all the time of fire risk, and the person is attempting to respond to that emergency, and presumably didn’t see or have any idea that somebody might be laying under the blankets. So the burden will be on the prosecution to show beyond a reasonable doubt that this firefighter was responding without due regard for the circumstances.”
Cosgrove, a 21-year veteran of CSFD, remains on duty as a firefighter first class, pending resolution of the case. He is slated to make a first appearance and be arraigned at a Jan. 12 court hearing.
Cosgrove had asked the city to fund his legal defense. But after City Council met in executive session about the request on Dec. 12, councilors voted the next day not to support him.
Lamphere told Council during the Dec. 13 session that in order to help Cosgrove, he had to have been acting in the scope of his employment, without malice and in good faith, and the support has to be in the city’s best interest.
“The question for the Council is whether this is in the city’s interest,” Lamphere repeated.
Councilor Mike O’Malley made a motion to withhold support, Councilor Bill Murray seconded it and the motion carried. Fortune didn’t comment, but Donelson said during the meeting, “I think it’s in the city’s interest for morale for our fire and police for us to pay for the defense of this firefighter.”
Asked about his vote later, Murray told Sixty35 via email, “On advice of the City Attorney we were advised not to. After reviewing the evidence I chose to agree.”
But Donelson tells Sixty35 that if the city did fund his criminal defense costs and he’s convicted, Cosgrove would have to repay the city, under provisions in the city code.
“So there’s no risk we would be paying the defense of someone who was found guilty,” he says.
“I can tell you this,” he adds, “there’s an investigations committee, with the mayor, fire chief, city attorney and risk manager. Their recommendation was to not pay for his criminal defense.
“I felt like the firefighter made a mis -
take any of us could make,” Donelson says. “He was not speeding. He tried to maneuver around some blankets that were on the ground. It’s a mistake which anyone could make. If that firefighter or police officer asks us to defend them and it’s not something you can tell it was a bad intent, I think we need to support them.”
Donelson notes that being convicted of a misdemeanor doesn’t automatically result in a city employee being terminated, but if a conviction results in losing something, like a driver’s license, that’s required for the job, “that could cause a problem.”
Noting that applications for both police and fire jobs are down, Donelson adds, “Even though this involves a firefighter and not a police officer, I think police officers watch how the city supports people in a bad position,” he says.
LOCAL 5’S CRUMB SAYS THE decision should serve as a warning to all city employees who drive a vehicle as part of their jobs.
“Anyone who drives a vehicle and has the ability to have something tragic like this happen, the city isn’t going to support you,” he says. “I firmly believe they should have supported his legal fees. That’s for a court to decide if he’s wrong. The city should stand by their employees. He wasn’t drunk. He had the brush truck where he was supposed to have it. He was doing something he was supposed to do. The city can’t just wash their hands. It doesn’t work that way. He was in the commission of his duties. He was on a call.”
Further, Crumb adds, “What does it say if he’s found innocent and completely guilt free? I do not feel supported by Council’s decision. This sends a message to every employee in the city.”
Cosgrove is not a member of Local 5, but if he were, “Of course we would have helped him with his legal fees,” Crumb says. “On this one, there was no malice, no negligence proven. We have reached out to help him in any way we can.”
The District Attorney’s Office didn’t respond to an email seeking comment.
THEY WERE AS YOUNG AS 6, UP IN THEIR 90S AND all ages in between. They were teachers, military members, brothers, moms and grandparents. They left behind people who loved them.
And all of their deaths were preventable.
If they had all died at once, surely there would have been public outcry and demands for action to prevent such senseless losses.
But the people whose lives were snuffed out in 2022 died at different times — at 2:26 a.m., at 9:39 a.m., at 8:53 p.m. or at 10:07 p.m. — on different days of the week and different months of the year.
As of Dec. 31, 56 people had lost their lives in traffic crashes in Colorado Springs during 2022 — the most since 2020 when 51 people died in traffic.
Some were driving vehicles, others just riding as passengers. Some were on motorcycles. Some on foot.
In most cases, excessive speed, alcohol or drugs or distracted driv-
“This is something,” he adds. “This is not nothing.”
Noblitt says CSPD is working on several programs designed to reduce traffic deaths, ranging from consulting with traffic engineers to improve roadway safety to handing out brochures to new motorcycle owners.
But at the end of the day, there’s no silver bullet. Drivers themselves have to take the problem seriously, he says.
“Just challenge yourself,” he says. “Put the phone down. Drive the speed limit.”
OF THE 56 PEOPLE WHO DIED LAST year in traffic crashes, most were behind the wheel, but nine passengers, eight pedestrians and three bicyclists also were killed.
Their average age was 39. August was the deadliest month, with 10 crash victims. Oddly, in February when roads can be snowy and hazardous, only one person was killed.
Mondays were the most deadly, with 13 victims, and Saturday the least, with five. As for time of day, most were killed in crashes that occurred from noon to midnight, but there was no time of day that was immune from a fatal crash.
So fatality crashes happen round the clock, all days of the week and every month of the year.
Excessive speed is to blame in many crashes, Noblitt says, noting that one officer clocked two vehicles racing at 117 mph in a 40 mph zone on North Carefree Circle (see “On the Traffic Beat,” p. 14).
“Why would you do that?” he wonders.
Here’s one speed-related scenario that played out multiple times last year, as described by Sgt. Eric Anderson, with the major crash team, who says most fatalities have a speed component.
“People are used to what they see daily. They see vehicles driving the speed limit,” Anderson says. “So when you pull into the intersection getting ready to turn left, a motorcycle is driving fast and they [the other drivers] think they have enough time to turn left, and it’s too late and the motorcycle hits them.”
About half of fatal crashes involve drugs or alcohol, Noblitt says. A firm figure isn’t available because toxicology is not yet available for some crashes.
Coroner Kelly reviewed 2021 data, the most recent full year available, including toxicology results for victims. It showed that in the 30 fatal crashes where the person who died was the “at fault” driver, 21 had drugs, alcohol or THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, in their system at the time of autopsy.
Thus, he says, increased police patrols might not have a big impact on reducing traffic deaths, unless the focus is trained on impaired driving.
“The biggest problem we have is people’s perception and being desensitized to the fact someone died in a traffic crash,” Anderson says. “It’s not as grabby as a homicide. It’s only a traffic crash, until it’s you or a loved one.
“People think, ‘We’re a growing city. Crashes come with that,’” he adds. “I don’t agree with that. In a traffic crash someone is minding their own business and the next thing you know, your life is ended by someone else.”
A large portion of last year’s traffic fatalities in Colorado Springs claimed the lives of the person who was at fault. But not all.
A crash at Bijou Street and Union Boulevard involved a 94-year-old man who was crossing the street at a crosswalk on a green light when a motorist struck and killed him.
“Any of these, whether pedestrian, vehicle, motorcycle, I think a vast majority of them, people took an unnecessary risk that ended up costing them their life or the life of somebody else,” Anderson says.
Noblitt says drivers distracted by their phones account for many crashes.
While working a fatal crash on Fillmore Street some time ago, officers shut down the road for the investigation, except one lane each way.
Then they monitored the vehicles going by.
“We counted for five minutes and found that more than half the drivers that went through were on their phones,” Noblitt says, “at a crash site.”
Although a state law bars texting while driving, Noblitt says it’s a difficult offense to enforce and prove in court.
As for pedestrian deaths, in looking at fatality data from 2017 through 2021, Kelly found, “The crash descriptions show that in the vast majority of cases, the pedestrian is at fault in these scenarios.” They cross against the light, or at a place not marked as a crosswalk.
It largely boils down toPhotos by Pam Zubeck
Colorado State Patrol has seen an increase in traffic crashes statewide as well, from 440 in 2012 to 687 last year through November, the most recent data available.
Late last year, Denver was on track to set a new record in 2022 for traffic deaths. There were 84 in 2021, and by early December the 2022 number hit 77. Westword reported that traffic deaths have increased over the last decade “despite the 2016 launch of Vision Zero, a five-
The NHTSA reported that in 2021, an estimated 42,915 people died in motor vehicle traffic crashes nationwide, a 10.5 percent increase from the 38,824 fatalities in 2020.
That report also showed that traffic fatalities increased from 2020 to 2021 in every state except Maine, Maryland, Nebraska, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
Then, the first quarter of 2022 showed another 7 percent increase nationwide, although 19 states saw a drop in fatalities in the first quarter, compared to the first quarter of 2021.
Experts, NBC reported, blamed the increase on riskier driving, such as fewer people wearing seat belts, and more people speeding and being impaired while driving.
David Harkey, the president of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, told the network that careless driving got worse during the pandemic and has continued, creating a “hangover effect.”
State Trooper and Public Information Officer Joshua Lewis says it’s hard to explain why fatalities have spiked.
“Unfortunately, there’s not a clear answer we can pinpoint and say it is this one thing,” he says. “If so, they would all go away.” He attributes the rise to increased driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs and “remembering how to drive again after the COVID years.”
“It largely boils down to personal responsibility — of taking your own life in your own hands. The privilege of driving can be very dangerous.”
Lewis says the State Patrol partners with other law enforcement agencies in sharing data and identifying trends.
The Colorado Department of Transportation also helps with data collection and analysis.
All that helps agencies mount publicity campaigns to combat various causal factors, he says.
“We’ve noticed trends ... of lane violations being a causal factor in fatal crashes,” he says. “What is causing people to commit these lane violations?” Distracted driving and DUI are two factors, he says.
Neighboring New Mexico also is on a path to exceed prior years’ fatalities, logging 430 through November of 2022, compared to 441 in 2021 and 358 in 2020 for those 11-month periods.
Over the last couple of weeks of November, the State Patrol hooked up with CSPD and other agencies to run heightened DUI enforcement and issue news releases about it. CDOT kicked off another such operation in December.
Lewis calls the Thanksgiving push against drunk driving a success, but acknowledges that the State Patrol, as well as other agencies, have manpower shortages and “can’t perform those [campaigns] 24/7 when we have other responsibilities.”
Despite high-visibility enforcement, however, the rising death toll “is a trend that’s not going in the right direction,” he says.
Lewis emphasizes that every driver should recognize their safety is in their own hands.
Other cities, too, have seen more people die in traffic crashes.
year action plan with the mission of ‘eliminating traffic deaths and serious injuries by making our roadways safer for everyone’ as of 2030.”
NBC NEWS REPORTED EARLIER THIS YEAR that fatal traffic crashes rose during the COVID pandemic, even though people drove less in 2020 than before. The outlet cited the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s announcement that in the first few months of 2022, car-crash deaths hit the highest quarterly total since 2002.
“A 2020 survey from the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety found that people who drove more than usual during the pandemic were more likely to engage in riskier behaviors, including reading text messages, speeding, running red lights on purpose, aggressively changing lanes, not wearing seat belts or driving after having consumed alcohol or cannabis,” NBC reported.
Rand Corporation reported in mid-2021 that turmoil that arose between police and citizens amid the Black Lives Matter demonstrations in 2020 have led some agencies to consider end-

We have this epidemic on our roads where PEOPLE ARE DYING AT AN ALARMING RATE.

It’s $10 a month — and you’ll be joining others interested in effecting positive change in our city — and just maybe, the world.
Steps CSPD has taken or will take to address crash deaths include:
• Working with the city’s Traffic Engineering Division to analyze intersections with a high number of crashes to determine what, if anything, can be done to reengineer traffic flows and find other ways to reduce crashes.
• Analyzing crash data to identify areas to target with traffic enforcement.
• Studying traffic patterns and red-light camera locations to determine what other intersections are candidates for cameras.
“It’s a force multiplier,” says CSPD Lt. Steve Noblitt, with the specialized Enforcement Division. The city has 19 red-light camera sites and will add another — at Woodmen Road and Campus Drive — this year.
“We will stop at 20,” he says. “Then we go into an assessment phase.” Based on those periodic assessments, the cameras will be moved to new sites, he says.
• C SPD is developing a driving safety brochure the city will ask motorcycle dealerships to hand out later this year to new motorcycle owners.
• Continuing to cooperate with other agencies for directed traffic enforcement in certain areas.
• Six CSPD officers are trained to inspect commercial vehicles, a program that’s stepped up the pace in recent years. The idea is to keep semis, dump trucks, garbage trucks and the like in compliance with safe vehicle standards. This type of vehicle was targeted, Noblitt says, because if there’s a brake failure or other type of problem, large trucks pose a particular threat on city roads.
“They can be quite deadly,” he says.
• Encouraging citizens to submit traffic complaints through the city’s GoCOS portal. CSPD receives about 30 complaints a month, each of which is followed up on.
— Pam Zubecking the practice of officers making traffic stops, citing racial disparities sometimes seen or perceived by those who get pulled over.
A survey of officers conducted in spring 2021 by Police1, an online resource for officers to exchange information, found a majority of respondents were less likely to make traffic stops following the protests of 2020. Almost half reported drivers were less compliant with officers when they were stopped.
Forty-two percent said their department had never provided traffic stop training but 87 percent want police to retain the function of enforcing traffic laws.
One theory, Rand noted, was that “with fewer cars on the road, risky driving behaviors went up, with a noticeable increase in speeding as emptier roads (and fewer cops free to perform routine patrol or traffic duties) allowed drivers to go as fast as they might wish.”
NOBLITT SAYS THE PANDEMIC MADE OFFIcers less apt to come into contact with motorists. The motor unit [motorcycle cops] “probably made fewer traffic stops during COVID.”
While officers did pull over drivers violating the law, “I do believe it [pandemic] hampered it a bit.”
As for officers being reluctant to stop drivers due to perceptions of racial profiling, Noblitt dismisses the idea that that was a factor locally. “I don’t think that impacted us here,” he says. “I didn’t see that was a big deal where we weren’t going to do our jobs because I’m concerned about this thing.”
For one thing, he notes, all CSPD officers use bodyworn cameras that film interactions with the public, meaning that footage provides protection against unfounded allegations of race playing a role.
Noblitt asserts that CSPD officers are welltrained to conduct traffic stops. In fact, CSPD’s training academy provides training in all areas beyond what is required by the Peace Officers Standards Training board.
“They do staged stops,” Noblitt says. “How to walk up and avoid traffic, how to write a ticket electronically. Then, after the academy, they ride with officers
for four months. Traffic enforcement is one of the many things they’re taught.”
However, Noblitt acknowledges the department should consider requiring “refresher training” for traffic stops, because, “It’s somewhat of a perishable skill.”
The motor unit is dedicated to traffic enforcement, and patrol officers can and do make traffic stops when warranted. But, with the department about 80 short of its authorized strength of 803 officers, patrol has its hands full without tying up officers on traffic stops. As of late December, the department had 768 sworn officers on the payroll, of which 49 were attending the academy and not pulling shifts.
Noblitt admits that patrol officers get so jammed up on calls needing service they might not want to begin a traffic stop, which can span 10 to 30 minutes and might have to be abandoned to rush to a high priority call.
The motor unit itself, authorized at 20 officers, stands at 12, having to compete for members as the department struggles to bring on more recruits, Noblitt says.
City Councilor Dave Donelson, who’s ridden shifts with patrol officers, says he was surprised at how thin the ranks are spread.
“What was shocking when I rode is how few police officers we have out on the street,” he says. “There are very large chunks of the city with only one officer. They’re slammed.”
Thus, he says, while the motor unit is down by more than 30 percent, “I don’t think they will plus that up until they have full staffing on patrol.”
Donelson noted Council has fully funded the request for police personnel. It’s now up to Chief Adrian Vasquez to get new officers on board.
Continuing retirements and resignations make it difficult to make gains, but Vasquez has authorized year-round training academies for recruits, rather than having two or three training academies per year.
All that said, blanketing the city with officers running traffic might have little impact, Kelly says.
“I would say that increased patrols and more officers on the roadway could help prevent the reckless driving and excessive speed deaths, but when over 70 percent are just humans doing dumb and careless things, it seems unlikely police presence would have much of an impact,” he says via email. “The only exception could potentially be enforcement or concerns by drivers about possible enforcement for impaired driving — which as you can see is a big contributor to the very operator errors that are occurring.”
Donelson, turning to the reckless habits of Springs drivers, says, “You don’t have to drive with the cops to see that.”
He attributes the problem to societal change.
“In a lot of ways, we seem to have become less polite as a society or in a rush to hog [the road] and become angry with each other,” he says. “I think we see it reflected in
traffic but also social media, an aggressive attitude.”
FAMILIES LEFT BEHIND BY THOSE WHO died in crashes might also be considered victims and some have built roadside displays to memorialize their loved ones. They’re scattered around the city, marked with rocks, candles, flowers, crosses, statues and, in one case, a box of confetti. Tributes to those who died can also be found in obituaries and brief news articles.
Among them:
• Douglas J. Furlan, 45, the year’s first fatality on Jan. 15, was a “beloved husband, devoted father, son, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin, friend, soldier, battle buddy, co-worker, and veteran. Doug had a larger than life personality, always told a great story, and had an unmistakable laugh.”
• Derek Walters, 22 when he was killed in a motorcycle crash on March 15, “enjoyed

playing the guitar, fishing, camping, working on cars and playing his Xbox,” an obituary said.
• M ichael Adeyanju, 36, who was killed June 18 on his motorcycle when a vehicle turned in front of him, was a decorated soldier who built custom computers as a hobby.
• Motorcyclist Connor Breen, 20, was killed Sept. 27. He “touched the lives of so many in his short life with kindness and love,” his dad said, according to snbc13.com in the Bay Area of California where his family lived.
• A rtur Jakubowski, 94, a pedestrian killed Oct. 11, was “loved and cherished” by his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-greatgrandchildren.
• Jocelyn Harris, 44, was killed when a vehicle failed to yield to her bicycle on Oct. 26. She served a Church of Latter Day Saints mission in Ukraine, taught English in Taiwan and went on dozens of humanitarian and medical aid trips. She scaled 50 fourteener mountains and “pushed herself to be the best human she could envision, constantly exceeding personal goals and serving others in the process.”
As Lt. Noblitt says, “This impacts us all, and we all should be concerned. It could be any one of us. Not everybody was doing something wrong when they were killed. They were literally driving down the road.
“We have this epidemic on our roads where people are dying at an alarming rate,” he adds. “It’s not a police department problem only. This is a community problem, and we need the community to help in reaching people.”
Officer Alan Roman is gunning for you. But if you’re driving safely and within the speed limit, you have no worries.
A member of the Colorado Springs Police Department’s motorcycle brigade, called the motor unit, Roman aims a radar gun at traffic — and in some cases a laser — that reads your speed with pinpoint accuracy.
Either way, he’ll nail you if you’re going a certain amount over the speed limit, a grace gap we won’t reveal so those with a heavy foot don’t push their luck.
Suffice to say, the motorists who have a face-to-face with Roman are going very fast.
As a 28-year veteran of CSPD, Roman is the longestserving member of the 20-officer motor unit, logging 22 years in traffic enforcement. During those years, he’s seen it all.
He’s clocked numerous drivers hurtling down Interstate 25 at 100 mph or more. He’s observed drivers eating, putting on makeup and reading a book while operating a vehicle. Using a cell phone is the most common distraction, he says.
One street race involved a Tesla and Audi that reached speeds up to 117 mph — on North Carefree Circle.
The type of vehicle he spots going too fast matters not.
“I’ve pulled over a McLaren and I’ve pulled over cars held together with Scotch tape, it seems like,” he says from his SUV’s cockpit on a day in December as he gave a reporter and photographer a sense of his typical day as a traffic enforcer.
When he pulled over a Smart Car some time back, he says, the driver “swore up and down, ‘My car won’t go that fast.’”
Our day began by strapping on bulletproof vests, just in case a stop went bad. That’s intimidating, to say the least. We also signed papers relieving CSPD of responsibility should the unthinkable happen.
Roman was decked out in 23 pounds of gear, including his body camera, radio, handcuffs, protective vest, gun, Taser and other equipment.
While traffic enforcement is largely handled by the motor unit, due to motorcycles’ maneuverability, the Chevy Tahoe was chosen to accommodate his guests on this particular day.
Like other patrol vehicles, the SUV was tricked out with a laptop showing the city’s CAD system, (computer assisted dispatch), a panel of buttons that control lights and siren, a printer the size of a large sandwich that shoots out paper citations, and even six orange cones in the back seat.
Roman was chosen to chaperone us, I later learn, due to his vast experience, not only in traffic enforcement, but also in community outreach. He works with high school kids on driving safety, for example, using “drunk driving” goggles that depict the impaired state alcohol creates. He also conducts workshops for proper child car-seat usage and spends time with Fort Carson soldiers briefing them on how Colorado Springs traffic laws might differ from those in other places.
But here’s another quality that recommends Roman to serve as a guide on behalf of CSPD: He’s a no-nonsense cop who feels a sense of duty to the community.
Wearing a stocking cap on this chilly day, Roman speaks softly, measuring his words, and he seems unflappable, even as a speeding vehicle bears down on the Tahoe while he’s making a U-turn to pursue a violator.
A Pueblo native, he hails from a family of law enforcement officers. His brother is with the Federal Bureau of Prisons, a cousin works narcotics for the Pueblo Police Department and another cousin serves in patrol for Denver Police Department, from which his uncle plans to retire next year. There are others in the business as well.
Unlike the stereotypical menacing and brawny cop, Roman is of average height and build and makes a point of being courteous.
Every stop he made during the day was met with an apology or an acknowledgment from drivers that they were in the wrong.
His approach is straightforward but gentle for a reason, he says.
“I try to keep it very formal. ‘Sir or ma’am, I stopped you today for whatever the violation might be,’” he says. “My aim is to get them back on their way.”
He wants the exchange to be as courteous as possible, because, “For the vast majority of people, the only contact they have with police is a traffic stop,” he says.
“How we treat these people can definitely color their view [of police]. For a lot of people, it’s a stressful situation. I want to leave them with a positive interaction. They leave with a feeling the officer treated them well. We’re just regular people like they are.”
During stakeouts on , North Circle Drive, Barnes Road and Powers Boulevard, Roman didn’t try to obscure his presence. In three of four spots, he simply pulled over to the curb. Even with high visibility, he still found no shortage of speeders.
And just so you know, the radar gun and laser reader are more or less backup to prove an officer’s own estimate of driver speed. Roman says officers are trained to judge speeds with reasonable accuracy; the other tools just prove them right.
“We’re identifying by visual and confirming with radar,” he says.
Officers can also clock your speed coming at them or traveling away from them, as well as driving past them.
Roman reports that some drivers try to argue a radio transmitter tower in some particular area skews the radar’s results, but those towers operate on different frequencies, he says.
Oh, and radar guns and lasers are tested at the beginning of the day, as well as after every stop to make sure they’re operating correctly.
On Hancock, he didn’t have to wait long for a speeder. Parked in a turnoff near some trees, Roman pulls out
the Stalker II radar gun and points it at oncoming traffic. Bingo. He nails a gray Honda Civic going 53 in a 40 mph zone, driven by a 20-year-old woman, who, she tells the officer, was running late getting to work. But she was “very nice” and “very cooperative,” he says.
That’s how most, but not all, drivers react, he says.
Some people are vicious in arguing about the infraction. “I tell them this isn’t the time or place for that,” he says. “If they want to dispute a ticket, they have that option [in court].”
And then there are those who think their position in society protects them from a citation. More than once, he’s stopped a VIP.
In one case, a nun he stopped for speeding told Roman she personally knew the chief of police and would have his badge and job. He ticketed her anyway, and, well, he’s still on the job.
“I don’t like to pick and choose who gets a ticket,” he says. “I try to do it as a matter of fairness.”
Which is why drivers shouldn’t look for a warning from Roman. He issues those only in “extreme circumstances,” such as a driver rushing to get his pregnant wife to the hospital in time.
Here’s his philosophy: “I understand people driving over the speed limit here or there. We’re looking for the more excessive speeds, running red lights, the tragic-causing driving behaviors. If I’m pursuing them through traffic, then it’s warranted they get that ticket.”
While two cars were street racing on Powers some time ago, weaving in and out of traffic, one clipped a car, causing a chain reaction crash that claimed the life of a driver “who had nothing to do with it. They were just driving down the road,” he says.
Roman says that while some people become difficult, he draws his weapon only if someone is “very uncooperative” or he identifies a weapon in the vehicle.
One driver elicited a “hands on” response after he blasted through an intersection near a high school, Roman recalls. “He fought a little,” he says, but a patrol officer showed up and easily arrested him for not having a driver’s license, DUI and speeding.
As for sections of the city where you’re safer from crazy drivers, forget that, he says.
“As this town has grown, there really isn’t a part of town that’s more hazardous.”
Even when the overhead directional signs on I-25 are lit up with warnings of a traffic enforcement operation in progress, “We still have no problem” finding speeders, he says.
During the COVID pandemic, the unit didn’t work traffic as much to avoid contact with other people, and Roman has noticed an uptick in aggressive behavior since then. He’s also seen more vehicles in recent years pull over, only to speed away and try to elude officers.
“Some people jump out and come over yelling and screaming at me,” he says. “It happens a lot more frequently now, two or three times a month. That’s just the way it is. It’s something we have to deal with.”
Back on Hancock, Roman nails a vehicle going 52 in a 40 mph zone. The female driver acknowledges she was speeding.
Later, on North Circle, Roman nabs a driver going 49 in a 35 mph zone. The driver was in a rush to grab lunch and get back to work.
On Barnes, Roman, parked at the curb in plain view, snagged a Ford Fusion going 56 in a 35 mph zone. A ticket for 20 mph or more beyond the speed limit carries a mandatory court appearance and stiffer fines.
The female driver was “very apologetic,” Roman says. “She’s got a lot going on in her life. She’s very stressed out.”
Out on Powers, Roman pulls out his laser reader this time. Within minutes, he marks a Toyota Corolla at 72 mph in a 55 mph zone. The driver’s first words? “I apologize,” Roman recaps.
While our shift yielded only five tickets, a normal day will see a motor unit cop issue two to three per hour.
The motor unit, which uses Harley-Davidson and BMW motorcycles, is viewed as an elite assignment. But they’re not immune from danger, since many drivers aren’t alert to motorcycles in traffic.
Motor unit officer Matt Styner, 42, was killed in 2012 while in pursuit of a speeder when a truck pulled out in front of him. There was nothing he could do.
As we wind down our assignment, we pull up to a stoplight. After a few seconds, Roman lowers the driver’s window. A driver next to him shouts out a “thank you.”
“We really appreciate you guys,” she adds.
“Here in the Springs,” Roman says, obviously happy with the feedback, “we’re fortunate. I hear that more often than the negative stuff. It reinforces that we have a good relationship with the community as a whole.”

homeowners and real estate agents are used to seeing home values rise every month. That’s changed.
December figures from the Pikes Peak Association of Realtors show the volume of home sales is declining and prices are starting to drop from the unprecedented highs posted in previous years.
“On the one hand, it’s a ‘correction,’” says Harry Salzman, broker/associate at ERA Shields/Salzman Real Estate Services. “But what we’ve had in the past couple of years was not realistic.”
A year ago, in January 2021, the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate reached an all-time low of 2.65 percent.
“That was a gem for the buyer, borrower and people who did a refinance,” Salzman says.
But as of Jan. 5, the average rate was 6.72 percent, according to Investopedia.
“We have never seen a 100 percent gain in interest rates in six months,” Salzman says. Between June and December, “we went from 3½ to 7 percent.”
That’s not normal, he says, and it’s also deterring potential homebuyers who might have the income to purchase a home but are instead spending their money on consumer goods.
“If I’ve got to spend that much on interest, well, forget it,” Salzman says. “I’m going to buy fancier clothes or go on vacation or spend more for the holidays.”
What it boils down to, he says, is that the market has cooled and the unprecedented seller’s market has ended. But like most real estate experts across the country, Salzman doesn’t foresee a crash or drastic downturn in 2023, but rather, “a return to what was prior to 2020 — a normal, healthy market.
“What to expect in 2023 is that things will slow down in terms of time,” he says. “It will take a bit longer to sell and pricing adjustments will be necessary.”
ACCORDING TO THE PIKES PEAK Association of Realtors, single family and patio homes were staying on the market an average of 41 days in December 2022. That compares with an average of only 16 days on the market in December 2021.
New listings in December were down more than 30 percent compared with the same month of 2021, and home prices dropped for the first time since before the pandemic. The median sales price was down 3 percent, and the average price dropped 2 percent.
Here’s a snapshot of the residential
BY JEANNE DAVANT• Assumable loans might become more popular. Salzman expects buyers assuming a VA or FHA loan is going to be a big trend for the next decade. “The process takes longer but can save the buyer a lot of money,” he says.
• The market will be more balanced. Although inventory will remain rela -
He notes that IT company Zivaro and manufacturer Entegris, which makes products for the semiconductor industry, announced expansions into Colorado Springs in late 2022 that will create up to 1,000 new, well-paying jobs.
“Those people are going to be looking for housing,” he says.
real estate market as of December 2022, compared with December 2021:
• Median sales price, Dec. 2022: $441,000
• Median sales price, Dec. 2021: $450,000
• Average sales price, Dec. 2022: $490,910
• Average sales price, Dec. 2021: $505,852

• Seasonal fluctuations will return. Instead of the steady demand for homes year-round, he expects to see the spring buying season return and sales to slow down toward the end of the year.
• Interest rates above 5 percent will become the new norm. “Realtors like myself who have been in the business for a while can remember a time when 5 and 6 percent rates were normal,” he says. “Some of us even remember the high interest rates of the 1980s, when a VA loan of 13 percent was considered low and rates of 18 to 20 percent were not unusual.” By the end of 2023, he expects rates to level off at about 5½ - 5¾ percent.
tively low, interest rates and inflation will put the ball back in the buyer’s court when it comes to closing cost help, inspections, repair negotiations and offers below initial asking price, he says.
• Home prices will start to appreciate again, though not as rapidly as they have in the past. “When it comes to real estate, you can’t only look at the last quarter, the last year or even couple of years,” he says. “Real estate is a long-term investment. When you look at the value of ownership, it’s still going to be extremely positive.”
THE LOCAL REAL ESTATE MARket will continue to be stronger than in many other U.S. locations because of continued demand for housing in the Pikes Peak region, Salzman says.
“In any economic cycle, there’s always going to be people who need to buy and need to sell,” he says. That could be because a family that’s growing needs more space, or because a new family is moving to the area.
CaseyMartin / Shutterstock.comWhile inventory will remain low, sellers and their agents will need to be more innovative, aggressive and creative, working with buyers to overcome their reluctance to sign up for what they perceive as high interest rates.
Mortgage products like temporary buydowns, which offer short-term savings on interest rates, are making a comeback, Salzman says.
For example, a buyer who qualifies for a 6¾ percent 30-year mortgage might be offered a 2-1 buydown, which means the buyer gets a 2 percent discount for the first year and a 1 percent discount the second year. Sellers, lenders and builders cover the difference between the rate the buyer pays and the actual mortgage rate.
A 2-1 buydown could save the buyer of a $500,000 home about $650 a month the first year, Salzman says. According to The Wall Street Journal, 3-2-1 buydowns are also being offered.
The buyer will have to prepare for higher payments but could refinance
High home prices and mortgage rates aren’t going anywhere
when rates come down, he says.
Lenders also are offering to waive loan origination fees if a buyer wants to refinance in two or three years with the same company.
“They’re putting that in writing,” Salzman says. “Because business is so far down in the mortgage market, they will negotiate to get deals. Nothing is black and white, and anything is negotiable.”
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF Realtors Chief Economist Lawrence Yun expects home prices to hold steady throughout most of the country in 2023 because of low inventory.
“Some places are experiencing price gains, while some places, most notably in California, are seeing prices pull back,” Yun said at the annual NAR conference (NAR NXT, The REALTOR Experience) on Nov. 11 in Florida.
Yun says he doesn’t foresee a housing market crash like the one in 2008 because conditions are fundamentally different.
He expects the national median home price to increase by about 1 percent while home sales decline by about 7 percent, but he also projects that the market will rebound strongly in 2024. The market will see a 10 percent increase in sales and a 5 percent increase in the national median home price next year, he says.
One area of concern is the spread between mortgage rates and the federal funds rate.
“The gap between the 30-year fixed mortgage rate and the government borrowing rate is much higher today than it has been historically,” Yun says. “If we didn’t have this large gap, mortgage rates wouldn’t be 7 percent, they would be 5.8 percent. A normal spread would revive the economy. If inflation disappears, then we’d see less anxiety within the financial markets and lower interest rates, which would allow owners to refinance.” Yun is quoted in a Nov. 11, 2022, post on the NAR website.
AT THE END OF LAST YEAR, mortgage rates showed signs of dropping from November’s 7 percent high.
But Economist Dr. Tatiana Bailey, executive director of Data Driven Economic Strategies and former director of the UCCS Economic Forum, expects interest rates to remain high as long as inflation continues to be high.
“Traditionally, what we’ve seen is that the interest rate set by the Federal Reserve has to be at or a little above the rate of inflation in order to really tamp down inflation. So if inflation is around 7 percent, it’s going to need to come down to 4 percent, or even 3 percent, in order for the Fed to start thinking about bringing down interest rates,” Bailey says.
“Most experts are saying that’s not going to happen until at least 2024,” she says.
The federal funds rate — the rate set
by the Federal Reserve — influences the prime rate, which is the base rate from which other interest rates are determined. Mortgage interest rates are not set by the Fed, but they track the 10-year Treasury rate and tend to move in tandem with the federal funds rate.
In the current economic climate, “it hits the housing market fast and hard,” Bailey says. “But there are other reasons why raising interest rates is really tough. Most businesses that have variable-rate loans are also impacted. If they have lines of credit or if they want to borrow money, a higher interest rate makes it a lot harder for them to do so.”
Interest rates on credit cards, also based on the prime rate, also are increasing.
“We’ve seen pretty dramatic increases over the last few months in credit card usage,” Bailey says. Savings rates also are down to 2.3 percent, compared with 9 percent before the pandemic.
“That tells me a lot of people are dipping into savings in order to deal with inflation,” she says.
“So we better get inflation down. But if you’re making it more difficult for people to borrow money, then is the medicine really helping?
“My personal view is that the Federal reserve had to raise interest rates, but I think that they should have done it more slowly,” Bailey says.
HIGHER INTEREST RATES ALSO are helping to keep rental prices elevated as they ripple through the local housing market.
“You’ve got a lot of people, particularly young people, who thought maybe they were getting close to buying a house,” Bailey says, “and now they have no choice but to rent.”
The National Association of Realtors has estimated a nationwide shortage of 6.5 million housing units, she points out.
“That’s mostly because of all of the builders that went out of business during the Great Recession,” she says. “The ones that survived don’t do spec neighborhoods anymore.”
Bailey says she has calculated a shortage locally of 12,000 housing units, “and we have an average of 9,000 to 10,000 people moving to El Paso County each year, historically.
“On average, we have been meeting the annual threshold of new jobs needed to match population growth — that’s about 5,400,” she says. “So an additional 1,000 on top of that is great. But we’ve got to figure out the housing.
“With higher-income people, they’re going to buy the $700,000 house, the $800,000 or $900,000 house,” she says. “It’s a double-edged sword. We want the jobs and we want the economic growth, but I don’t see it helping the affordability issue.”

Senti, VP for programs and operations at the National Cybersecurity Center, checked it out and found that the site, which was offering products at extremely low prices, was a fake.
corporate thing — anyone can be targeted,” says Mike Crandall, CEO of Digital Beachhead.
Hackers can sneak into your home computer through phishing and can even access your home network through smart devices including TVs, refrigerators, cameras, even Google Home and Amazon Alexa. Once there, they can get hold of confidential data like your tax returns, banking information and email.
Everyone on your network should be aware of actions that can open the door to hackers, says Rodney Gullatte Jr., CEO of Firma IT Solutions and Services.

“They were going to scam her and take $30 for a generator that could have been $1,000,” he says. He used the occasion as a teachable moment, telling her to look for SSL security certification, indicated by HTTPS at the beginning of the URL and a padlock icon in the address bar. He also told her to use well-known, verified payment processing systems like Shop Pay, Amazon Pay, Stripe or PayPal.
“I educate my mother all the time, too,” he says.
Fake websites are just one way that scammers can separate you from your money, and the first line of defense is knowledge, Senti says.
“Be aware of the environment you’re living in,” he says. “If you’ve got Alexa in your house, if you have an iPhone on your person, if you’re wearing an Apple watch, they’re always listening, even when you turn them off.”
It’s thoughtless or habitual actions that get home device users into trouble, and failure to take basic cybersecurity precautions. Here are some of the most common:
• Using the same passwords across online accounts. Passwords should be unique, and you should turn on two-factor authentication whenever you have that option, Gullatte says. Senti urges people to use a password manager like LastPass, 1Password or Dashlane. “LastPass itself doesn’t have access to your passwords,” Senti says. “So even if LastPass were to be compromised — which it has been — hackers couldn’t get to that information because of the way it’s stored.”

Cybercrime is increasing every year, and cyber criminals are getting more sophisticated. While businesses where hackers can grab lots of money or data are most likely to be attacked, “it’s not just a big
• Not changing the default passwords on devices like your Ring camera, or not updating firmware that contains security protections for your smart refrigerator. Some devices are set to do updates automatically, but others, like smart TVs, are not — you need to enable auto updates. Gullatte suggests that people check all their connected devices for auto update settings.
• Hopping on social media fads like posts that invite you to download an app that alters selfie photos. Gullatte came across an app that makes your face look like a sketch. “It was owned by Russians, and there’s an option for them to have access to your entire camera
roll,” he says. “Don’t do that to yourself.”
• Sending money to people you don’t know. “Somebody reading this article is caught up in a relationship with somebody that they’ve never met,” Gullatte says. “It seems real. As adults, we have hearts, and hackers don’t care — they’ll go after your heart, and they will exploit that to further their agenda and make money.”
• Responding to phishing emails. Most people think they’ll never fall victim to spam emails, “but they’ve gotten a lot better than the prince in Africa who’s trying to send you $10 million,” Crandall says. Look closely at domain names, he recommends; hackers may have one that’s familiar at a glance but has one letter changed. With links, “always go to the source. Never click the link in the email.” If you’re suspicious about a link in an email, “you can change it to plain text,” he says. That will show you the actual source URL.
• Making purchases directly from social media posts. “If you see a product you like, open up a browser and find it on the website directly,” Crandall says.
• Not reading terms of agreement. Most of the time, you’re agreeing to data sharing or gathering, and you may be consenting to active listening by your device. You should be aware of what your device is doing and how your data is being used, Crandall says.
• Not going with trusted devices — cameras, speakers and other devices sold by established vendors. Cheap knockoffs like security cameras made in foreign countries may have the ability to reach out into your network, access other devices and gather information, Senti says..
• Performing confidential transactions on open networks at your local coffee shop or bar. “Using unsecured
Wi-Fi is a big deal,” Senti says. “You don’t know how your data is being used. You don’t know where your data is being stored.” Use a personal hotspot instead.
• Separate home and business accounts, and keep home and business emails separate. “If the company you’re working for is asking you to use your own computer to do work for them, you need to decline that,”
that has an IP address is a target,” Crandall says. “Hackers are going after the easy targets, which is your Alexa, your Google Home and your Nest thermostat.”
• Download a home scanner like Bitdefender, a software program that reveals all the devices on your home network and alerts you to vulnerabilities.
Above all, have that talk with your kids.
“There’s nothing private once you go digital,” Crandall says. “That’s the mindset I try to put my kids in; you may not be concerned [about what’s posted] now, but what if you want to run for office? Do you want that out there? The world is watching.”
“Hackers know kids are easy targets to be exploited,” Gullatte says. “We have to be vigilant.”
— Mike CrandallGullatte says. “That exposes your company data to breaches that don’t need to happen, and in essence, your computer becomes their property in a legal situation. The safest thing to do is to create separate networks for business activities and home use, Senti says.
• Use a backup system. “Carbonite.com is great,” Gullatte says. “You just install it, pay your annual fee and just let it run, and your computer won’t lose any data. I’ve had people lose all their pictures of their 4-year-old child that died when their hard drive crashed.”
• Install antivirus protection, patches and security updates — on all your connected devices. “Anything
Senti recommends talking about digital safety — not using your real name or age, not telling people where you live or giving away personal information.
Crandall says he tells people that there’s no such thing as 100 percent cybersecurity.
“In the world we live in today, my whole house is listening to me,” Crandall says. “We have to balance risk with reward, as we do with everything else in life. What does your Alexa do for you? If what she does for you outweighs the risk that she can bring, then that’s the risk that you accept.”

WELCOME TO THE Village section of Sixty35 magazine! Here, you’ll find the news and information you need about Manitou Springs and Colorado Springs’ Southeast.
This has been a bold and challenging transition from five free-standing newspapers to one united resource, but we’re a talented, determined bunch of journalists and we’ll hold true to our mission to deliver truth, build community and engage citizens.
For those of you who don’t know me, I became editor of the Pikes Peak Bulletin, Manitou Springs’ weekly newspaper, in 2015. In the seven-plus years since, I’ve been taking photos, writing stories, supervising freelance writers and photographers, handling social media and just being out and about in the community I love. That community also encompasses Old Colorado City and Lower Ute Pass, and we’ll feature news from those areas as often as we can.
We’re building The Village to be everything the Manitou and Southeast communities need and want — the important information readers need to know on a community level, as well as the fun events on the horizon and the interesting people who make life better. We also want readers in the greater metro area to know what’s going on in these vibrant communities.
Eventually, we’d like to expand our focus to even more communities around Colorado Springs, those growing populations at the edges, that can be left out as we and other media outlets concentrate on the “big city.” We know we’ll
find interesting people doing important things in those communities.
Editor-in-Chief Bryan Grossman, who’s been editing the Independent and the Business Journal and is leading the newsroom for this magazine, put it this way: “It’s thinking small in a big publication.”
We’ll spotlight the offbeat events — like the Fruitcake Toss later this month and the Carnivale festivities in February — that make Manitou such a special place to live and visit. We’ll feature news from, and about, the inspiring leaders, entrepreneurs, educators and community members whose hard work makes Southeast thrive.
The way our readers can submit upcoming events to run in calendars is still evolving. The temporary solution is to keep that as is: For events in Southeast Colorado Springs, please send complete information (who, what, when, where, why and how) to reporter Marcus Hill at mhill@sixty35media.org. For events in Manitou and the surrounding area, send complete information to calendars@pikespeakbulletin.com. The calendars will be available at pikespeakbulletin.com for the time being, as will other current content. For the near future, that includes the Manitou Springs Police beat and Manitou City Council coverage.
If you have story ideas or questions about The Village content, please email rvanpelt@sixty35media.org or call 719685-9668.
We’re excited about this new chapter in our work. We hope you’ll be excited, too, about joining in us in continuing to build the trusted resource for news in the Pikes Peak region.
Eventually, we’d like to expand our focus to even more communities around Colorado Springs.
We need the best people to join us as Teachers, Paraprofessionals, Bus Drivers and Monitors, Nutrition, and Custodial staff. We offer competitive pay and benefits. Apply online today at www.hsd2.org.
Huge thanks to Pikes Peak United Way for their support of our families this holiday season through the Adopt-A-Family program.

IN THE WAKE OF THE CHAOS of the COVID pandemic, many organizations entered this past year with a sense of uncertainty. Financially bruised by the economic crash that followed what felt like an eternal lockdown, many small businesses emerged from the pandemic with trepidation. Fortunately, CommunityWorks has forged a path through extreme adversity, and is entering the new year with incredible momentum.
is a nonprofit whose mission revolves plagues vulnerable populations, by facilfor at-risk young adults in impoverished
Founded in 1995, CommunityWorks is a nonprofit whose mission revolves around tackling the inequity that plagues vulnerable populations, by facilitating government funded programs for at-risk young adults in impoverished areas. The pandemic created and exacerbated myriad barriers; now CommunityWorks is excited to welcome 2023 by rolling out new programs and projects that address opportunity gaps and inequity. Here are some of our 2022 highlights:
This past year, CommunityWorks managed to not simply survive but grow, as vulnerable populations continue to feel the fallout from COVID. In the face of this growth and the ever-evolving challenges that come with it, we quickly recognized the need for new and innovative solutions focused on transportation and training. We launched the pilot of our own shuttle service between select partners and our participants, and additional funding was allocated for bus passes, gas vouchers, bicycles and other forms of microtransportation. This year shows great promise as CommunityWorks revs up to unveil even more programs.
One of the many ways we’re addressing the pressing issue of job accessibility is by completely redesigning CommunityWorks’ flagship application, The CommunityAnchor. This app aims to cut barriers to job accessibility and retention by serving as a virtual hub where participants can access myriad free trainings, workshops, classes and other education resources for professional development.
To give participants a competitive edge in the workforce, CommunityWorks has partnered with industry experts to make sure the app’s trainings cultivate core skillsets these employers desire most. This extension of our training opens new opportunities for our currently incar-
cerated individuals as well as for participants in rural communities where these resources are exceedingly scarce or underdeveloped. 2023 will also mark the launch of CommunityWorks’ TAP IN program, which also tackles barriers to job accessibility by giving employers and participants tools to interact harmoniously in person and via classes.
Finally, CommunityWorks will rol l o ut several projects orchestrated by our newest department, the Business Development Community. Though relatively new, the BDC has begun to make incredible waves for underserved entrepreneurs and charitable organizations. By leveraging our participant employee base, the BDC hopes to broker deals with local employers and partners that will also boost job accessibility and reduce barriers for the community as a whole.
This is only a snapshot of all the incredible things we accomplished this year. We’ve already hit the ground running in 2023 and we’ve set the goal of doubling both in size and in the availability of resources we offer to the community as a whole in the coming decade.
With CommunityWorks’ continued growth, 2023 will bring new opportunities, new innovations and a newfound sense of community. Learn more at commwrks.org or call 303-433-0300.

An upcoming benefit event for Club Q staff and performers marks a return to drag for some local queens
BY GRETA ANDERSON JOHNS | gajohns@sixty35media.orgWYATT KENT, ALSO KNOWN BY HIS drag name Potted Plant, says it’s been difficult to return to the local drag scene since the Club Q attack on Nov. 19, even though it’s his primary source of income these days.
Kent, a regular onstage at the LGBTQ club on North Academy Boulevard, was set to perform that night, when a gunman opened fire and killed five people in a suspected hate crime against the Colorado Springs queer community. Kent’s soon-to-be-fiancé Daniel Aston, a bartender at the club, was killed in the attack, along with Kelly Loving, Derrick Rump, Ashley Paugh and Raymond Green Vance.
When he got home that night, Kent says he showered, washed off his full-face makeup and took more than a monthlong break from drag, as he coped with Aston’s death and the trauma caused by the attack. During recent benefit events for other Club Q performers, staff and victims, he’s chosen to read Aston’s poetry and tell Aston’s story, instead of performing, Kent says.
“I was just really nervous as to what looking back at myself in the mirror in full drag would be like,” he says.
products from Swiss Navy — an international sexual wellness brand — worth about $1,000, and one from Denver’s Needz, a clothing store, worth $700, Mosher says.
Jennifer Warner, a brand ambassador for Swiss Navy, is a drag performer and standup comedian who’s appeared at Club Q.
“It really hit hard,” Warner says of the shooting. “I told my wife, ‘I could have been there.’
“The random acts of violence are not so random anymore.”
As for the event’s big-time performers, Mosher says Skye and Andrews volunteered to make appearances. Then Kressley’s publicist asked if he could join, too.
“It’s unbelievable how it’s taken off,” Mosher
“It’s unbelievable how it’s taken off,” Mosher says. “It’s just pretty amazing they’re donating their time.”
But on Jan. 13, Potted Plant will make one of her first appearances back onstage for “A Night of 1000 Hugs,” a two-part charity event and drag show in the Springs to support Club Q staff and performers. The event will feature some of the biggest names in drag locally and nationwide, plus Emmy-winning reality television star Carson Kressley, who’s best known for his role on the original Queer Eye For The Straight Guy
Meet & Greet, Friday, Jan. 13, 5-6 p.m., 108 E. St. Vrain St., #11 Evening event, Friday, Jan. 13, 7-11 p.m., 2945 Galley Road $10-75, tinyurl.com/thousand-hugs
THE EVENT STARTS WITH A MEET-AND-GREET at Skin Perfect Aesthetics & Wellness on Saint Vrain Street with Kressley and nationally renowned drag queens DeJa Skye (who competed on RuPaul’s Drag Race last year) and Axel Andrews. It will be followed by an evening of appearances and performances by Kressley, Andrews, Skye and a slate of local drag and burlesque artists at Luxe Daiquiri Lounge on Galley Road.
Ticket proceeds will go directly to performers and other staff who worked at Club Q, which has been closed since the shooting, says organizer Scott Mosher, founder and CEO of Purple Mountain Recovery, an LGBTQ-focused mental health and substance abuse support nonprofit based in the Springs. Mosher is also program director for Colorado Psych Clinic on North Nevada Avenue, which offers psychiatric care, therapy and peer support, and he has a background in fundraising and organizing drag shows in Las Vegas.
There will also be a raffle of high-value items and services donated by businesses at the evening show, with prizes like a one-year membership to Skin Perfect, a basket of
jobs, and “the trauma of going back to
is to get cash to Club Q workers and performers. They “are really struggling,” Mosher says, with finding new jobs, and “the trauma of going back to work in that environment,” after being rocked by the shooting.
“Just walking into a bar brings up all the anxiousness and nerves,” he says. “Being able to provide that help to them is our top priority.”
Kent says that he knows many local performers who no longer “feel comfortable going out in drag just to go bar-hopping anymore, because there’s no designated queer space” in the Springs. Club Q, he says, was that space.
He hopes the Jan. 13 event will be a step toward rebuilding and putting Club Q on the map as a stop for famous drag performers around the country.
Potted Plant will be retaking the stage in memory of “our boys” — Aston and Rump (Rump was also a Club Q bartender) — as well as Loving, Vance and Paugh, Kent says.
“Those two boys were the backbone of mean, God, for Derrick, the last six —
community, basically,” Kent says. ing; we’re splitting — but we’re
“Those two boys were the backbone of our club, and for the last two years — I mean, God, for Derrick, the last six — [they] were the backbone of our queer community, basically,” Kent says. “We’re going to keep uplifting those names. We’re stepping out on those stages. We’re bucking; we’re kicking; we’re splitting — but we’re doing it all for our boys.”
The local art community shares their thoughts, dreams and well-wishes for 2023
BY NICK RAVEN | nraven@sixty35media.org
NEW YEAR’S DAY MAY BE AN OTHERWISE ARBItrary date on the calendar, but it’s also the perfect time to reflect on the past and forecast the future. Sixty35 asked a number of arts leaders in Colorado Springs and Manitou, many of whom are artists and performers in their own right, what they dream of for the arts community in the new year.
“Over the past 10 years, the transformation has been unbelievable,” says David Siegel, executive director of Ent Center for the Arts. “The pandemic certainly was a pause button on that transformation, but in the last two years, there was all this stored energy that was injected into the arts community and so many people and organizations are doing interesting, meaningful work. So it’s my hope that this work and progress will continue.”
As a violinist who performed virtual concerts during the pandemic, Siegel looks forward to audiences continuing to return to venues. “I’m thinking a lot at the Ent Center and in my own artistic practice — what did we miss, what are we yearning for — and I keep coming back to connectedness. We had no choice but to experience the arts in a more isolated way. But the beauty of the arts, and I think the beauty of this arts community in particular, is the power of the arts to bring people together. And so I’m thinking a lot about how can we leverage that power of connectedness, because ultimately that’s what’s going to grow the arts scene.”
Susan Edmondson, president and CEO of the Downtown Partnership, works with many artists, organizations and businesses Downtown. “My wish is for visionary and community-serving leadership,” she says. “We have three key organizations in leadership transitions right now: UCCS Galleries of Contemporary Art, the Fine Arts Center at Colorado College and the Cultural Office of the Pikes Peak Region (COPPeR). I’m excited to see what’s next for them.”
One of those leaders is Angela Seals, interim executive director of COPPeR. “My wish for Colorado Springs artistically in 2023 is for the creative energies currently sparking in separate corners of our community to ignite a larger transformative movement,” she says. “I believe this has been building for years, but it’s time to really start burning together and lighting a new way. We’ll have to be willing to act and think more boldly about creativity’s relevance to the communities around us, and demonstrate the ways that the arts are an important part of our region’s future.”
Dean Mitchell
Toward the north end of Downtown, Kreuser Gallery owner and curator Abigail Kreuser beamed about our growing art community. “I have watched our arts community flourish throughout the years, and going into 2023, I couldn’t be more excited to support and continue to watch it grow and be part of it,” she says. “Our community is special. We advocate and champion for each other. Established artists, galleries and other venues take up-and-coming artists under their wings and encourage them, introduce new outlets and experiences. My wish is that this all continues to grow. Let’s continue to lift each other up, open new doors, create more venues and resources for all realms of the arts to continue to be successful. Together we are stronger.”
Next door, G44 Gallery owner and curator Gundega sees that and urges the city to grow as an arts destination. “My prediction and desire for the Colorado Springs art scene is that it continues to flourish. We have an amazing art community here and we as locals know it, but as more people in the region realize the incredible talent we have here I think it will continue to
grow,” she says. “With that being said, we will need more galleries and art venues and artist studios to showcase all the artists we have. The talent here rivals that of Denver, Santa Fe and other big cities, and as more people realize that, we will need more venues to exhibit the vast variety of artists we have. I feel we are at a tipping point that if more venues aren’t available for all of the talent we have, we will lose out on having Colorado Springs be a city known for the arts because artists will have to venture elsewhere to exhibit their work.”
To the west, art is a huge deal in Manitou Springs and Becca Sickbert, executive director of CReative AlliaNcE Manitou Springs (CRANE) was happy to share her dreams of art, mobility and accessibility. “I wish for continued and expanded access to the arts for everyone, regardless of housing, income, racial, education or transportation status. The region has made big strides in developing new venues and programs, and I dream of the day when people can access these amenities and experiences more easily as they move between rural communities and our urban centers without relying on cars to get around,” she says.
Sickbert also acknowledges the oncoming threat of machine-learning algorithms when it comes to art and its authenticity. “2022 also saw the rise of mainstream awareness about artificial intelligenceassisted creation in multiple disciplines — including visual art, music and writing. So much of these AI contributions are startling, but innately derivative of work done by people. My fervent hope is that technology makes us value the original work of humans even more, and that we work together to protect our local creative industries from exploitation.”
Finally, Art 1eleven Gallery CEO and owner Robin Schneider wasn’t shy about his ambitions going forward. “I look at it this way... if I hit the lotto, I’d buy every vacant space around Acacia Park and invite all the galleries to move into them creating an art market like we see in other cities,” he says. “My dreams are big.”
IN AN EFFORT TO DIG (AND DINE) AS FAR BACK AS POSSIBLE to glean a taste of town through its legacy institutions, this week I focus on two of our four oldest spots, which both happen to be Italian. I talk with the descendants of the original founders, all still actively engaged in their family businesses. And I learn what makes them so special and iconic. Next week, I’ll present two more golden oldies; if you miss either article in print, visit sixty35media.org to read online.

HERE’S A RARE STATEMENT, NOT JUST FOR THE RESTAURANT world, but universally: “Not changing is the key to our survival.”
That’s on Luigi’s website. On their menu’s history section, it states “nothing is contrived or pretentious.” And when I get to talking with co-owner Gina Costley — daughter to founders Leo and Anne Cervetti — she makes it clear that their family’s food is “basic ingredients, nothing fancy — like grandma would make.”
It’s as if they’re trying to play everything down: this classic, never-changing menu of Chicago-style, Italian-American fare, to ensure customers know that it’s bare-bones pure and humble, no frills. Which is cool, except that I see right through it, and the throwback nature of this local gem is the frill. We’re talking about Colorado Springs’ oldest restaurant (“continuously family owned and operated,” they clarify), dating back to 1958. In April of 2023, it will turn 65 years old.
Leo worked into his 80s, “and he loved it,” says Gina, noting he’d even come in on his off days to hang out with his loyal clients. Anne is now 92 “and still a pistol,” says Gina, who tells us her mom will visit occasionally to “sit at the bar and hold court.”
Gina’s first job, at age 13, was making pizza at the eatery. (She’ll still jump in to help out.) Aside from a stint in the early ’80s attending college then living in Texas, she’s been around the whole time. In 1998 she and her sister bought out their parents in the business, then she and her husband Les took sole ownership in 2004, after the family had briefly put the establishment on the market. (Can we all just pause to breathe a collective sigh of relief that they changed their minds before a buyer was found?)
“I was the one who’d said I would never do it,” she tells me, before saying something so poignant that it could be in a movie script: “It’s hard to work someone else’s dream as if it’s your own.”
So, she hasn’t. “We have worked it as a business,” she says. “But of course we appreciate all the history and hard work and generations of people that have come through here.”
And the smartest business decision they’ve made is to not mess with what’s worked for decades and earned its way into countless locals’ hearts. Leo taught Les how to do everything, and he remains the prep cook today after 30 years. (Looks like Leo taught him how to love it, too.) Gina says they have two line cooks who have been with them
and meatballs, a timeless classic. Pair it with the straw-bottomed Straccali Chianti to leave your own memory on Luigi’s walls.

I learn another fun fact I’m sure many longtime locals will enjoy: Gina says her dad Leo and Del Biondi from Roman Villa (which opened in 1959, a year after Luigi’s; see below) were good friends back in the day; they’d loan each other products when needed and help each other out. She explains that back then, this south end of Tejon Street and Roman Villa’s north end of Nevada Avenue were pretty much the edges of town, “so there was no sense of competition.” (Today’s urban sprawl makes that hard to comprehend.) Gina and Del’s daughter Carla Biondi are also friends, who correspond to this day. Damn if I don’t have goosebumps just relaying this whole, wholesome story. Which brings me to my visit, where I get to taste and savor the legacy’s foundational foodstuffs. I learn that technically the menu has undergone minor changes, mostly around the COVID pandemic. But that was to eliminate some dishes like steak and sandwiches in the name of streamlining for survival, allowing full focus on the pizzas and pastas. (“We’ve had ups and downs over the years,” Gina concedes.) They also reduced the number of tables, scaling down (which ironically scaled up revenue in the end), and reduced hours slightly. (They’re now open 5-8:30 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday.) We have to order a bottle of the Straccali Chianti (an easy complement to our meal) because of the straw-booted bottle it comes in — meaning we receive markers at meal’s end to personalize our bottle so it can hang among the hundreds on the classic, wood-
paneled walls. Yeah, the dated, warm-lit decor hasn’t changed in all these years either, and that’s the way everyone prefers it.
The homemade pastas are a wise go-to, and I order the tortellacci with housemade Italian sausage. Given the huge portion and the fact that I take leftovers, it’s more than fairly priced at $18.25. Oh, and it’s splendid. They stuff Pecorino Romano and cream cheese inside the pinched dumpling-shaped, super soft (lovely) dough along with spinach. Then comes a topping of the signature meat sauce, a vibrant tomato sauce with plenty of backbone, and the house besciamella (bechamel sauce), for a rich, creamy cap laced with a hint of nutmeg that plays nicely off the sausage’s subtle zinginess. To state the obvious, here’s a dish that holds up through the decades; it’s timeless, perfect as it is in this sincere form.
To try the house meatballs, we act like kids and get the classic of classics: spaghetti and meatballs, a full portion for $14.25. (Appreciate that in these inflationary times.) The same meat sauce tastes even brighter when aside from the bechamel and welcomes the added herbal essence of the meatball.
Looking ahead to Luigi’s future, Gina says there’s still plans for the railroad to reconstruct the aging bridge just north of their building, which will require a new track to be laid directly where the restaurant sits. So eminent domain may be used in 2025, according to her, to close Luigi’s. She says at that point, they’ll either retire the legacy, or potentially sell the business, but nothing’s been decided. So make the next

TO CALL ROMAN VILLA A BELOVED THROWBACK IS ONLY TO begin describing the iconic Springs spot, open since 1959. The always-busy small dining room (which seats around 50, packed snug) feels dated, but that’s the way we like it and we wouldn’t change a thing. It’s got wood panel walls and a low ceiling, warm lighting and ample, alluring Italian food smells filling the air.
After a to-go visit one frigid December night, I speak to co-owner Amber Shaffer, the fourth-generation Biondi family member who operates the spot; her niece now working at the restaurant represents gen five — so Shaffer says it’s certainly possible that Roman Villa could be standing decades from now. But she’s honest when she says sometimes she has a love/hate relationship with her work, which “feels like more a grind than in the past,” particularly due to how COVID disrupted everything, affecting service, labor and more. But “this is what I do,” she says in acceptance of the legacy. “I’m 43, I need to work, I still consider myself young.” And in talking with her, it’s clear to me that she’s proud they stand out as a landmark mom-and-pop place in the increasingly developed area around the Nevada Avenue and Fillmore Street intersection. (They’re currently open only 4 to 8 p.m., Tuesdays through Saturdays.)
For my take-out, I order a 10-inch homemade-sausage pizza with fresh garlic added, plus a plate of homemade ravioli with the house tomato sauce. My car smells amazing on the way home, like it’s hard not to open the box and risk a mess down my shirt. I ask Shaffer to describe Roman Villa’s pizza style for me, as it’s somewhat if not fully unique to town. She says it’s not New York-style thin, but not Chicago-style deep either, somewhere in the middle with a crunchy-bottomed dough (made daily) with a bit of chew. They serve it pie-cut by default, but are happy to slice it tavern-style into squares by request, for the Chicagoans who frequent the spot.
I definitely notice the soft chewiness, and a more dense, less airy core, and there’s not prominent crust with any significant crunch; sauce and dressing go right to the edges. The sauce starts with a #10 tomato can, “which we jazz up to our liking,” she says. Mozzarella cheese sweats a finger-coating oil, and the sausage highlights the affair. There’s a perfect, subtle amount of fennel in its finish, with a little oregano, garlic and crushed red pepper for a faint spicy note.
The ravioli are the eatery’s most labor-intensive item, says Shaffer. They first cook pork roast and turkey breast over the course of a day, then debone it and send the meat through a grinder into a large mixing bowl. There, they mix in spices and a trio of cheeses: ricotta, Romano and cream cheese. All that’s packed into homemade egg noodle dough, formed about palm-size. They’re soft under the fork and really creamy on the whole, contrasted by an excellent house tomato sauce. This family recipe starts with the carrotonion-celery trinity for a classic base, which goes through a buffalo chopper for a super fine grind, which gets cooked down and thickened into a sauce; the carrot sugars alone
While I eat, I’m reminded of an Italian eatery back home that we grew up with, ing today, too, dated in its own way, but perfect just like it is. I imagine a lot of towns have their go-to vintage Italian spot, where real food’s still made the hard way and there’s a family history and local tradition and authenticity that few if any modern eateries, no matter how good they are, can rival. Nostalgia isn’t everything though, because you don’t make it this many years in business if the flavor isn’t there to back it up.

IT’S 2023, AND A LOT HAS HAPPENED SINCE I last wrote words in this paper. The Indy has turned into Sixty35 (still delivering all the great content you love), holidays happened, New Year’s happened, the city froze, and a show of legendary proportions happened at The Broadmoor World Arena.
It was Dec. 22, during the deep freeze, when some of the heaviest hitters in hip-hop took over the town. The Holidaze of Blaze tour opened up with newcomer Justin Champagne bringing his blend of country and hip-hop, then Ying Yang Twins hyped the place up with their party bangers “Salt Shaker,” “Ms. New Booty” and “Badd.” After they got everyone shaking, legendary West Coast rapper Warren G came out and chilled everybody down. It was my favorite part of the night, his act executed with smooth precision. When he performed his 1994 anthem “Regulators,” the crowd erupted in smoke and applause. With the smell of fresh herbs in the air and the beats flowing, everyone in the building felt like the coolest person alive. After some chill time, T-Pain came out and brought the party! You may know T-Pain for introducing autotune to the mainstream in the mid-2000s, and he really made his sound known thanks to a set list of club bangers he had something to do with, including “Black and Yellow,” “Buy You a Drank” and many, many, many more. It was a very fun set filled with energy from the first song to the last.
Now it was time for the legend himself, Snoop D-O-double G, SNOOP DOGG! He came out in full force, clad in a full blue bandana jumpsuit and a “jazz cigarette” gently placed between his lips. He played classics spanning his 30-year career including “Murder Was the Case,” “Gin & Juice,” “What’s My Name,” “Drop It Like It’s Hot” and many more. His hour-plus-long set kept everyone engaged the
whole time and even featured special tributes to rappers taken too soon — Nate Dogg , Notorious B.I.G. and 2Pac. It was a packed, sold-out show that heated up the frozen night.
ALL RIGHT, NOW A NEW YEAR IS ABOUT THE future, and not the past, so let’s get into some new things going on in these parts. There’s a new band in town and they go by the name SKULL. Playing fast, furious hardcore punk, they’re ready to light the scene on fire (in a good way of course!). They just released their debut single, “Ecstacencia,” at skullinyourhead.bandcamp.com and will be playing their first show Thursday, Jan. 12, at Denver’s Seventh Circle with BIB, Sanitizers and Asbestos, and it’s sure to be a wild, wild time. The music continues on the 12th at Vultures with blues rock from Tenth Mountain Division and Moon Veil. The following evening, Friday the 13th, you can catch more blues rock from The Short T.E.R.M. at Fritzy’s along with Noise Resort and Lazarus Horse. Vultures will be hosting country from Kenny Feidler and The Cowboy Killers along with Kellen Smith. If you feel like something a little heavier, head next door to The Black Sheep for a ripping metallic hardcore show with Vamachara, Momentum, Mindz Eye and Back Lip
Saturday is now upon us and Triple Nickel will be hosting a fun punk rock show with Flight Kamikaze, The Sleights and Total Cult. Black Sheep will be hosting a night of metal with Sending Skyward, Cell 23, Ovira and Witness Marks. Or catch some delightful indie rock at Lulu’s with Heavy Diamond Ring and Shovelin Stone

No doubt a few fans of Tedeschi Trucks Band, privy to their plans for a multipart epic based on an Iranian fairy tale, were terrified the bluesy jam band was headed to the dreaded reefs of progressive rock. Turns out I Am the Moon (Swamp Family/Fantasy) makes fine party material, with Susan Tedeschi’s voice carrying that bold but husky Bonnie Raitt sound, while the horn section belts out Cajun/funk creations as lively as any of the band’s live sets.
Dig a little deeper and you’ll realize that Tedeschi and spouse Derek Trucks squeezed a lot from the 12thcentury Persian poem “Layla and Majnun.” Vocalist Mike Mattison suggested the poem as a writing prompt while band members were in lockdown, with a resulting 140-minute, 24-song tale of love in a time of plague. Trucks’ love for free jazz is evident in tracks like Part 2’s “All the Love,” yet the group never strays too far from their roots.
The only minor flaw is the choice of lush packaging in lean times. A fourCD set could have been compressed into two, and the LP-based box set, $100 on release, now fetches $500 and more on Discogs. You can still buy four unitary CDs for less than $50, though, one of the better deals to find in 2023.
Alicia Blue, Inner Child Work, 1 & 2 (Magnetic Moon) – Who knows why Blue, an L.A. transplant to Nashville, released one EP in summer and a second one in mid-January, but regardless of the format, Blue’s writing and delivery are stunning. “Don’t Tell Me to Smile” deserved to be the pop track of 2022, and the rest of her work is just as good. With production from Lincoln Parish of Cage the Elephant, and writing assistance from John Paul White, Blue’s move east is Nashville’s gain — in a big way.
WHEN IT COMES TO POP CULture, 2022 can be remembered as the year when song placements in blockbuster television series revitalized the careers of what the music industry refers to as “legacy artists.”
The most celebrated example was Stranger Things making Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill” part of its storyline in multiple episodes. This prominent placement brought the idiosyncratic British pop singer’s all-but-forgotten 1985 track to the attention of some 15 million viewers, as it raced up the charts to No. 1, her first single to do so in four decades.
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg in the “everything old is new again” world of song placements, needle drops and synchronization rights.
Stranger Things’ subsequent use of Metallica’s “Master of Puppets” led to a 400 percent uptick in online streams. The group scored another high-profile song placement this past November, when a string-quartet version of their 30-year-old “Nothing Else Matters” single was featured in an episode of Wednesday, the Addams Family-inspired series that set a Netflix record for most hours viewed in a single week.
Coincidentally enough, Metallica happened to release a new single, and announce a new tour, that very same week. But, to hear Lars Ulrich tell it, the band’s motivations were altogether altruistic.
“It used to be, with Metallica, we were always the ‘no’ guys,” he told Howard Stern. “‘Hey can we have this song for this? Can we have that song for that?’ It was just ‘no, no, no, no, no.’ But a few years ago we just said, ‘You know what? This is stupid. Why are we hanging onto these songs like they’re so important, like they’re the crown jewels? Let’s share our music with the world.’”
The Tim Burton-directed series has also breathed new life into the music of several other artists, many of whom are still living. The show’s title character plays The Rolling Stones’ “Paint It Black” on violin during the first episode, which also featured the original recordings of Édith Piaf’s “Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien,” Roy Orbison’s “In Dreams” and Chavela Vargas’ “La Llorona.”
A subsequent episode dug up The Cramps’ “Goo Goo Muck” for a boarding-school dance sequence that further demonstrates the viral potential of prominent song placements. In the days to follow, the psychobilly band’s 1981 track was streamed more than 2 million times, gave birth to one of the biggest TikTok dance challenges since Donald Trump’s “Y.M.C.A.” gyrations, and racked up 78 percent more
money in a single week than it had for an entire year. So where did that money go?
According to the music industry bible, Billboard Magazine, the seven-day surge added $11,089.85 to the coffers of Capitol Records, which owns the Cramps’ master recordings. An additional $2,493.33 went to music industry veteran Jim Shaw, who’s the second-hand owner of the publishing rights to “Goo Goo Muck,” a novelty song that was originally written and recorded by an early-’60s band called The Gaylads.
Granted, that’s not much compared to the millions of dollars that “Running Up That Hill” and “Master of Puppets” generated, but it’s still, in Shaw’s words “a really amazing, fun little bonanza.”
But not, perhaps, for the surviving members of The Cramps — frontman Lux Interior died in 2009 — who have yet to comment on what impact, if any, the song’s viral success has had on them personally. Given the fact that they don’t own the master recordings or publishing rights, it probably hasn’t been much.
Meanwhile, other shows contribute their fair share. HBO’s Euphoria, which currently holds the distinction of being the most tweeted-about series of the decade, has disinterred tracks by INXS, Brandy, En Vogue and Ministry — they even managed to get #DonnyHathaway trending on Twitter — while Industry resurrected The Joubert Singers’ 1985 gospel-disco track “Stand on the Word.”
Of course, artists like The Joubert Singers, The
Cramps and Donny Hathaway are pretty much the exceptions to the rule when it comes to 2022 song placements. In fact, all of the artists mentioned in this article combined proved to be no match for The Rolling Stones.
Yes, the band that, back in 1966, was already singing about what a drag it is getting old, could be heard this past year on Law & Order, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Law & Order: Organized Crime, Minions: The Rise of Gru, Dog, 9-1-1, The Offer, Reacher, The Blacklist, Love Island, Shantaram, Outer Range, Billions, Pieces of Her, American Idol, and the list goes on.
Given that catalog albums now account for 70 percent of all music consumption, it would be easy to assume that all this is being driven by nostalgic baby boomers, with Gen X and millennials following close behind.
But that may not be the case. According to a poll of 2,000 adults who regularly listen to music for at least one hour per day, nearly 80 percent of Gen Z members feel like they were born in the wrong era because of their taste in music.
“It’s all starting to feel a bit surreal,” Kate Bush wrote on her website as “Running Up That Hill” went viral. “Having now seen the whole of this last series, I feel deeply honoured that the song was chosen to become a part of their roller coaster journey. ‘Running Up That Hill’ is being given a whole new lease of life by the young fans who love the show — I love it, too!”
— and around the world. People are using their credit cards at malls, at grocery stores, online. Wall Street is doing brisk business. Planes are flying passengers to their destinations and the United States Air Force is preparing for another mission to take soldiers, airmen or Marines to their assignments.
Suddenly, all that grinds to a halt. The nation’s Global Positioning System isn’t operational — and everything relies on it. Without GPS, credit cards don’t work; cell phones, cash registers and ATMs don’t work; trading stops — and those planes over the Pacific Ocean are no longer on any predetermined flight path.
If GPS fails — whether it’s a jamming attack, a spoofing attack, space debris, space weather or human error — there’s no way to navigate. The Air Force stopped training navigators decades ago.
In the disaster we’re picturing, travel grinds to a catastrophic halt; lives are lost.
But … maybe not.
A team of cadets from the United States Air Force Academy is working to solve a real-world problem just like this for the Air Force. They’re working on redesigning and updating the sextant, an old navigational tool displaced by satellite-driven navigation. The
goal: Create a system that allows planes to navigate when there are no recognizable landmarks — like over the Pacific Ocean.
Sextants determine the angle between the horizon and a celestial body (stars, sun or moon) to pinpoint latitude and longitude — allowing people to navigate with confidence.
At the Academy, the cadets are upgrading the sextants that were once used in planes with a modern twist: algorithms designed to map and assist with the mathematics side of navigation.
“We were asked to do this assignment when I was at a gathering of chief scientists,” says Col. Chris McClernon, associate dean for research and director of the Office of Research. “Air Mobility Command was looking for a way to solve this problem; and they thought the cadets could do it.”
McClernon brought the idea back to the Academy and created an independent study course: “Project Automated Sextant” was born.
Because it is independent study, the cadets have to find time to meet to work on the project. Cadets don’t have much spare time, particularly in their last two years at the Academy, so they typically meet Sunday nights. On weekdays, they scramble for lab time to test their theories.
It’s not easy, but the cadets are making it happen by working together, each delivering a crucial part of the project.
“We each have our own areas of expertise,” says team leader Mihiri Fernando. “So we get together on Sunday, talk about what we are doing, what problems have cropped up and work on our assignments during the week. Then we get back together the next week to go over the next steps.”

They have a faculty mentor, Maj. Daniel O’Keefe, a physics instructor at the Academy. O’Keefe’s job is to keep the cadets on track and help them find expertise when they need it.

“Their project is to help aircraft navigate across the Pacific Ocean without GPS,” he says. “No one has a way to read the stars and to keep to the right direction if the GPS were to fail. This will help pilots at least find those tiny islands in the Pacific so they know where they are.”

they got to share their progress with a group of four-star generals at the Academy, including the man in charge of the Air Mobility Command, Gen. Mike Minihan.
For many, that would have been a terrifying experience. It is the equivalent of a junior bookkeeper talking to the CEO of a major multinational corporation. And at the last minute, the cadets learned they’d be briefing not one general, but four or five.
“We know what we are talking about,” Cadet Second Class Victoria Salvatore says. “So we weren’t nervous. We were prepared, so we went in and did it.”
“It was super cool,” says Fernando. “It gave us access to the AMC for a lot of resources for the project.”
Their presentation went well — and Minihan even provided the team a real sextant for the last half of the school year. That helps, says junior Nicholas Hamby, because now they know the size and shape of the instrument they need to develop and how it will fit into the cockpit.
Despite the extra work and the struggle to find time in their schedules — each cadet is also involved in a sport, club or
other activity in addition to military and academic responsibilities — there’s a real sense of pride in the effort.
“This is a crucial project,” says Will Voelker, another member of the team. “And it’s crucial we have the support from a lot of majors — data, computer science —it all makes for a very cohesive approach. And because we have people focused on specific areas, it allows us to be more flexible.”
The way the device works: The team maps the stars — sometimes using the sun during daylight hours — and uses a computer algorithm to map the stars to the device. If pilots know the position of the stars and the horizon, they can navigate their way across the Pacific Ocean. They’re testing their system on Academy grounds.
Currently, only one plane can carry the sextant — on newer planes, ports for sextants were engineered out of the
design when computer-aided navigation became reliable. But the KC-135, the Air Force’s main refueling tanker, still has the port. That’s the plane the cadets are working to equip with the sextant.
“Eventually, they’ll put them on all the planes,” Hamby says, “but that’s years away.”
Each cadet focuses on their own area of specialization within the project. Some work on astronomics, mapping the sun and the stars; some work on the system itself; others create algorithms to make the computer systems work without GPS. One cadet works on electronics.
“We all have to really come together,” Hamby says. “We have the same core classes, so we all have some ideas of what people are talking about — but when we get into the weeds, we need the individual level of expertise.”
At least two of the cadets working on the project graduate in May. They hope to attend pilot training and fly for the Air Force.
And who knows? One day they could be flying planes with a feature of their own design — a navigational system built at the United States Air Force Academy.
OVER THE PAST SEVERAL years, there has been a growing national conversation around the issue of veteran suicide. Veterans are twice as likely as their civilian counterparts to die by suicide. El Paso County lost more than one veteran a week in 2021, placing our veteran suicide rate at one of the highest in the country. Of the 176 deaths by suicide in El Paso County in 2021, 53 were veterans and active-duty military. That is a 10 percent increase from 2020.
While the national conversation has extended to El Paso County and the Pikes Peak region — with its multiple military installations and abundant retiree population — it’s time for us to transition that conversation to action, and from action to impact.
es at no out-of-pocket cost. We offer alternative therapies and behavioral, physical and spiritual health programs.
The Mt. Carmel Veterans Service Center provides a counseling team, offering support and treatment services for depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, PTSD and life transitions. Treatment is provided by licensed professionals, prelicensure therapists, and graduate interns supervised by an on-site Licensed Professional Counselor. All our clinicians are trained and experienced in providing military-specific services.
The services provided at Mt. Carmel Veterans Service Center are critical, but we cannot solve this problem alone. We know that mental health treatment is challenging to navigate. We know it is even more difficult for our veterans. Our Colorado policymakers have addressed shortcomings, but we still see gaps. The result is that despite our discussion and our action, the suicide rate hasn’t declined.
Our veterans have stepped up for generations to defend our country. At Mt. Carmel Veterans Service Center, we see veterans from all eras — Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan, even a few who remain from World War II. Our responsibility to them did not end when their service was completed or when they returned to civilian life.
While Mt. Carmel supports veterans with needs like housing and food insecurity, our obligation also extends to health and wellness services. It is past time to turn our collective attention toward the mental health issues our veterans face.
Through Mt. Carmel’s Health and Wellness department, veterans, their spouses, and family members have access to confidential counseling servic-
Undoubtedly, the problem is complex. The solution doesn’t have to be.
Our friends, family, neighbors and colleagues care deeply for veterans; many are veterans. The only way to solve the veteran suicide problem in our community is to solve it as a community. We are responsible to the people who served our country and have a duty to our fellow man. Together, we can begin a movement that will make a difference.
Mt. Carmel Veterans Service Center is partnering with the Colorado Behavioral Health Administration and UCHealth in a new collaboration called Next Chapter, a grant-funded community wellness collaborative serving veterans and their families. The partnership is funded through Colorado SB-129, which required the Colorado State Department

BORROWING A BIT FROM
Mr. Austin Powers, International Man of Mystery: “Allow myself to introduce myself.”
My name is Bryan Grossman, editorin-chief of Sixty35 magazine, the newest not-so-new-kid on the block.
What does that mean?
Well, if you’re familiar with one (or several) of the many publications we printed under the Colorado Publishing House banner, you probably have some understanding of what you’re holding in your hands. But not everyone has picked up a free Colorado Springs Independent, or has subscribed to the Colorado Springs Business Journal, or has been mailed the Southeast Express, the nonprofit publication we delivered to about 30,000 addresses mostly in the 80910 and 80916 ZIP codes.
Not everyone knows who we were or what we’ve become —
and since there’s nothing like a good origin story, here is ours (sorry, no radioactive spider bites).
For nearly 30 years, the Indy, a free weekly that could be found on newsstands throughout the Pikes Peak region, brought the state’s second-largest city its fair share of news, much of it not covered by other local news outlets. You can read in depth about our earliest years at sixty35media.org.
The Indy was Colorado Publishing House’s flagship publication. But we also produced the Colorado Springs Business Journal; the Pikes Peak Bulletin in Manitou Springs; a legal publication known as The Transcript; newspapers for Schriever and Peterson Space Force bases, and Fort Carson; and CPH stood up the Southeast Express in February 2019 to bring coverage to what was otherwise a news desert. Last year, we launched weekly podcasts to include the Indy 15 and Hot Takes & Streaming Breaks, which discuss news and pop culture, respectively. Oh, and events... We do a ton of events. Music at the Indy will be back under a new name this summer and the business community knows all about our Rising Stars, Women of Influence and COS CEOs, to name just a few.
As separate publications, our impact was vast but fragmented. We weren’t as efficient as we could be. We were selecting news for different audiences but hearing from readers that they appreciated getting all of their news in one spot. And while we’ll still be publishing a weekly print product, journalism happens every day. Our digital-first mindset means there’s far more to find online than will ever fit on these pages. While this is a lot of new, those familiar with what we do should feel right at home.
Investigative news that holds the powerful accountable? We still do that. In-depth coverage of the local A&E scene, including food, music and theater? Yep, still have that too. And you’ll find this alongside local business-to-business and business-to-consumer news, commentary from local movers and shakers — and we’ll throw in some fun stuff each week too. Our mission, while more refined, remains the same: To deliver truth, build community and engage citizens.
Transitioning all our publications to a singular source for news, business, culture and more has been a massive undertaking. We recently became a nonprofit, built a brand new website and have done so much more behind the scenes to bring you this inaugural issue of Sixty35 magazine. We hope the hard work shows.
If this is a change from the publications you’re used to, we hope you think Sixty35 — and the loads of extra content you’ll find online — an improvement. And if you’re new to what we do: Welcome. We hope this is the start of a long and fruitful relationship!

IF YOU MISSED THE FRIDAY Night Debacle on the floor of the U.S. House, the one in which Kevin McCarthy was finally elected speaker on Round 15 after 14 humiliating rounds of defeat, don’t worry.
Even though it had been 160 years
Welcome to 2023, the year in which the most recent Jan. 6 Capitol proceedings evoked memories of the original Jan. 6 insurrection, which came just two years before. The main difference between the two dates, other than the lack of bloodshed, may be

— possibly Gaetz, possibly Boebert, possibly both — apparently reneged on the deal. And when the 14th vote ended with Gaetz voting “present” — just as Boebert already had done — a once-confident, ever-grinning McCarthy, sure of victory, was now an embattled McCarthy with no victory and no grin at all.
NO ONE KNOWS FOR SURE YET how much McCarthy had to give away to satisfy his years-long ambition of being speaker — only that it was a lot.
For instance, the dissidents got the right for any one representative at any time to invoke a “motion to vacate,” meaning an instant vote on whether McCarthy remains as speaker. Meaning, say, if McCarthy were to fold on a vote for the new rules package, which was scheduled for Monday, he could presumably lose the speaker’s position by midafternoon.
That’s how weak McCarthy looks to be. As we saw in the votes for speaker, McCarthy’s margin is so slim that he can afford to lose only four Republican votes to get anything passed. You see what kind of power that gives someone like Boebert. You can see how scary that could be.
And it’s not just me and/or you worried about it. Let’s face it, 49.92 percent of
Boebert’s GOP-heavy 3rd Congressional District voted against her. After the vote, you may recall that Boebert promised to show more “discipline” and “focus” and to “take the temperature down in D.C.”
Instead, she has turned it up to 111. And that’s where we can expect the fever to stay.
If you watched her classic throwdown with, of all people, Sean Hannity, you didn’t see discipline and you didn’t see focus. When she actually called out Trump — whom she so strongly supports — advising him it was time to tell McCarthy to give it up, you saw Boebert in full Boebert form. What I kept seeing, besides an insistence that McCarthy had to go, was an audition for a TV gig, maybe after the 2024 election season.
Let’s watch how the session plays out. Maybe the most worrisome McCarthy promise concerns raising the debt ceiling. Without raising it, Congress can’t pay its bills, and the country would go into default and the economy into free fall. But McCarthy has also apparently promised to cut spending commensurate with the rise in the debt limit, which might well include cuts to Social Security and/or Medicare.
But House Democrats would never agree to that. The Senate, narrowly con-
trolled by Democrats, would never agree to that. Joe Biden would never agree to that.
There were other promises, like a futile vote on a balanced budget amendment, a futile vote on Congressional term limits, votes and more votes on border security. We can only wait for the vote that ends with the inevitable government shutdown.
McCarthy apparently got Greene to vote for him by promising a seat on the Oversight Committee, which might as well be called the investigate-everyonein-the-Biden-administration committee. Did you see Greene — who, we know, had lost all committee assignments for voicing a variety of conspiracy theories, including the one about Jewish space lasers — and her cheek-to-cheek selfie with McCarthy?
He apparently got Gaetz, in the end, by promising him an Armed Services subcommittee chairmanship. That may help explain the explosion by Congressman Mike Rogers, who will likely chair the full committee.
And there will be, it has been reported, a committee to probe what some Republicans call Biden’s “weaponization” of the federal government — a committee with a budget reportedly equal to that of the January 6 Select Committee.
And on and on it will go, with one perilous vote after another.
In the end, when McCarthy finally did win the speakership, it was only because the six holdouts all voted “present,” which allowed him the slimmest of possible majorities. Let’s just say it was not exactly a vote of confidence.
If it’s bad for McCarthy — and it almost certainly will be — there’s no need to feel sorry for him. He’s the, uh, leader, you’ll remember, who briefly blamed Trump for the insurrection, saying he would urge Trump to resign, and then, just days later, went to Mara-Lago to kiss his ring and beg forgiveness. In yet another misjudgment, McCarthy must have thought toadying up to Trump — as he had so many times before — would win over Trump’s closest allies in the House.
I don’t know how much more McCarthy can be humiliated. But here’s a guess: If he’s left depending on help from Boebert and Gaetz and the gang of crazies, it may not be long before the final countdown.

MEMORIES FADE, ESPEcially late in life — yet you treasure the ones that remain. I can still recite dozens of lines from Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales in the original Middle English, and I can still remember the day in 1997 when John Weiss offered me 50 bucks a week to write a weekly column.
The money wasn’t great, but I loved the idea. I had just lost the April mayoral election, finishing a weak third behind Mary Lou Makepeace and Cheryl Gillaspie. I’d come to love being in the public eye, and I thought it’d be fun to snipe at politicians instead of being the snipee. But I was also afraid of being a lousy columnist, so Weiss and I agreed to make it anonymous and called it The Outsider. I figured it would last a year or so, and I’d quickly move on to greater things — at
56, I sure didn’t expect to have a late life career as a journalist/reporter/whatever for weekly newspapers.
The Indy was wonderful in those early days. I loved working with Teri Homick, Kathryn Eastburn and dozens of smart, funny and talented young folk. I was a comical semi-geezer trying to stay relevant in his changing hometown.
A quarter of a century later, I’m still in the journalism racket. The cool, smart young people have become cool, smart semi-retirees, and a new generation has taken over.
Sometime in the 2000s, CSBJ Editor Mike Boyd lured me away from the Indy (mo’ money!), and asked me to mentor the young reporters that he’d recently hired. In talking to one amiable woman, I quickly realized that the reverse was true — I could learn a lot from her. We
became friends as well as colleagues, writing a few pieces together and supporting each other. I knew she’d go on to greater things — and I’m delighted that Amy Gillentine has been my boss for the last few years!
And so we embark on a new journey as Sixty35 Media sets sail on the troubled seas of mid-2020s journalism. I never
imagined that I’d outlive both CSBJ and the Indy, so I’m both sad and exhilarated. These are interesting, exciting and contentious times, and this city needs unbiased, intelligent and engaged journalism. Consolidating all the pubs into a single powerhouse should do the trick — and since I plan to live to 108, I’m looking forward to celebrating Sixty35’s 25th birthday...
And so we embark on a new journey AS SIXTY35

On Dec. 11 in Katwe Kabatoro, Uganda, a 2-year-old boy was playing near a lake when a hungry, hungry hippo “grabbed ... the boy from his head and swallowed half his body,” the Telegraph reported. Bystander Chrispas Bagonza witnessed the event and started chucking rocks at the hippo, which caused it to spit the toddler out. As the beast lumbered away, onlookers rushed the child to the hospital, where he was treated for injuries suffered in the attack. Police warned residents in the area to be on the lookout for the hippo, as they can become aggressive when they feel threatened.
The Catalonia region of Spain has a quaint tradition at Christmastime that features “caganers,” or “poopers” — figurines of shepherds with their pants down, relieving themselves, Reuters reported. The figures are usually placed among nativity scenes, but more recently, they’ve morphed into caricatures of famous people such as Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and King Charles III. And now, inmates at a prison north of Barcelona are getting in on the action: They’ve been trained to produce the clay figurines for a private family business, Caganer.com. Working four-hour shifts, prisoners mold, bake, polish and paint the figures. David Fernandez, an inmate at Puig de les Basses prison, said he feels like “an elf.” “I feel very good working
all year to get the job done and spread illusion. It’s very cool. It’s something from deep inside.”
This week’s “And What the Heck Have YOU Done?” story comes from Golden, Colorado, and 8-year-old Maddock Lipp. On Dec. 1, The Denver Post reported, Lipp skied with his family on Mount Heogh in Antarctica, achieving in his short life time a big feat: He has skied on all seven continents and is unofficially the young est person to do so. Lipp said he liked Antarctica best because he “got to ski next to the penguins.” He hopes to nab a Guinness World Record for the accom plishment.
An Argentinian soccer superfan became alarmed on Dec. 13 as he headed home to watch his team’s match with Croatia in the World Cup semifinals, Oddity Central reported. The 53-year-old was frustrated at the slow progress of the bus he was riding, so when the driver stopped and stepped out to buy something at a kiosk, the soccer fan allegedly hopped into the driver’s seat and took off toward his home. He drove about 4 miles, then abandoned the bus and its occupants and continued on foot. But police officers caught up with him and took him into custody — and he missed the whole game.
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): When he was 74 years old, Capricorn author Norman Maclean published his first novel, A River Runs Through It. It became a best-seller. Capricorn film director Takeshi Kitano directed his first film at age 42. Now 75, he has since won many awards for his work in his native Japan. Capricorn activist Melchora Aquino, who was a leader in the Philippines’ fight for indepen-
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you will soon be called upon to summon grace under pressure; to express magnanimity while being challenged; to prove that your devotion to your high standards is more important than the transitory agendas of your ego. The good news is that you are primed and ready to succeed at these exact assignments. I have confidence in your power to activate the necessary courage and integrity with maximum poise and composure.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “By dying daily, I have come to be,” wrote poet Theodore Roethke. He didn’t mean he suffered literal deaths. He was referring to the discipline of letting go of the past; shedding worn-out habits; leaving behind theories and attitudes that once served him well but no longer did; killing off parts of himself that were interfering with the arrival of the fresh future. I recommend his strategy to you, Pisces. To the degree that you agree to die daily, you will earn the right to be reborn big-time in a few weeks.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Nigerian author Wole Soyinka reworked the ancient Greek play, The Bacchae. In one passage, the god Dionysus criticizes King Pentheus, who is supposedly all-powerful. “You are a man of chains,” Dionysus tells him. “You love chains. You breathe chains, talk chains, eat chains, dream chains, think chains. Your world is bound in manacles.” The bad news, Aries, is that many of us have some resemblances to Pentheus. The good news is that the coming months will be a favorable time to shed at least some of your chains. Have fun liberating yourself! Try to help a few others wriggle free from their chains, too. Doing so will aid your own emancipation.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The coming weeks will be a great time to fill your journal with more intense ruminations than you have for many moons. If you don’t have a journal, think about starting one. Reveal yourself to yourself, Taurus! Make conscious that which has been vague, unnamed or hiding. Here are assignments to help launch your flood of intimate self-talk. 1) Write passionately about an experience you’ve always wanted to try but have never done. 2) Conduct imaginary interviews with people who rouse strong feelings in you. 3) Describe what deity, superhero or animal you are and how your special intelligence works. 4) Visualize a dream in which you appear as a bolder, more confident
dence from Spain, launched her career as a revolutionary when she was in her 80s. She’s known as the “Mother of the Revolution.” I hope these heroes inspire you, dear Capricorn. I believe that 2023 is the year you will get an upgrade in any area of your life where you have seemed to be a late bloomer.
version of yourself. 5) Talk about a time you felt rousingly alive and how you plan to feel that way again.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): A stranger approached me at Wild Birds Unlimited, a store that sells bird food and accessories. “You write the horoscopes, right?” she asked. “I’m a Gemini, and I want to thank you for helping me tone down my relentless fidgeting. You made me realize I have been secretly proud of tapping my fingers on the table while talking with people, and constantly darting my eyes around the room to check out the everchanging views. I’d unconsciously believed that stuff was a sign of my incredible vitality. But you’ve been a steadying influence. You’ve shown me ways to settle down and focus my energy better. I can see how restlessness sometimes saps my energy.” I told the woman, “You’re welcome!” and let her know that 2023 will be a favorable time to do much more of this good work. Homework: Meditate on channeling your incredible vitality into being grounded and centered.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): According to Cancerian author Ronald Sukenick, the writer’s work is “to destroy restrictive viewpoints, notice the unnoticed, speak the unspeakable, shake stale habits, ward off evil, give vent to sorrow, pulverize doctrine, attack and uphold tradition as needed, and make life worth living.” I believe 2023 will be an excellent time for you to carry out those actions, even if you’re not a writer. You will have abundant power to bless and heal through creative rebellion and disruption. You will thrive as you seek out interesting novelty.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Psychotherapist Ryan Howes has wisdom you’ll benefit from heeding in the coming weeks. “We need to accept our age,” he writes. “We need to accept illnesses and addictions. We need to accept the past. We need to accept others as they are.” He goes on to say that this doesn’t mean we must like all these situations. And we can certainly try to make the best of them. But when we don’t struggle in vain to change what’s beyond our control to change, we have more energy for things that we can actually affect.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Here’s testimony from musician Pharrell Williams: “If someone asks me what inspires me, I always say, ‘That which is missing.’” Yes! This is an apt message for you, Virgo. The best way for you to generate motivation and
excitement in the coming weeks will be to explore what is lacking, what is invisible, what’s lost or incomplete. Check in with your deep intuition right now. Do you feel a stirring in your gut? It may tell you where to find important and intriguing things that are missing.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Every animal knows far more than you do,” declares a proverb of the Nimíipuu people, also known as the Nez Perce. Author Russell Banks provides further testimony to convince us we should be humble about our powers of awareness. “There is a wonderful intelligence to the unconscious,” he says. “It’s always smarter than we are.” These are good pointers for you to heed in the coming weeks, Libra. You will have a special power to enhance your understanding of the world by calling on the savvy of animals and your unconscious mind. They will be especially rich sources of wisdom. Seek out their educational input!
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Psychologist Carl Jung said that the whole point of Jesus Christ’s story was not that we should become exactly like him. Rather, we should aspire to be our best and highest selves in the same way that he fulfilled his unique mission. So Jesus was not the great exception, but rather the great example. I bring these meditations to your attention, Scorpio, because I believe life in 2023 will conspire to make you, more than ever before, the hero of your own destiny. You will be inspired to honor only your own standards of success and reject all others’. You will clearly see that you are progressing at your own natural and righteous pace, which is why it makes no sense to compare your evolution to anyone else’s.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A reader named Mary Roseberry describes her experience of being a Sagittarius: “I hate to be bored. I hate imperfections. I hate to wait. I hate sadness. I hate conflict. I hate to be wrong. I hate tension.” Wow! I admire Mary’s succinct understanding of who she doesn’t want to be and what she doesn’t like to do. I invite you to compose a similar testimony. You would benefit from getting clear about the experiences you intend to avoid in 2023. Once you have done that, write a list of the interesting feelings and situations you will seek out with intense devotion during the coming months.
