THE WIRE

Zoya Burdeynyuk stands between her parents during a moment of silence

Feb. 24 at the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum. The vigil recognized the one-year anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. A group broke out in song several times during the evening, to include performing the Ukrainian national anthem. The war has claimed thousands of lives — soldiers and civilians. Russian President Vladimir Putin declared at the beginning of the war that Ukraine would be conquered within three days but, partly due to Western weapons supplies and strategic blunders by Russia, the conflict has entered its second year.

Matter of Record

NEW CEO CHOSEN FOR SPRINGS UTILITIES

Travas Deal, who joined Colorado Springs Utilities in 2017, was named CEO on Feb. 22. He succeeds Aram Benyamin, who resigned last fall to take a job with Los Angeles Department of Water & Power.

Deal, who had been serving as acting CEO, will be paid $480,000 a year, the same as Benyamin was paid.

Deal was chosen over Lisa Barbato, who has been with the department since 1998 and held management roles in divisions of energy, water and wastewater. It’s worth noting that Springs Utilities has never been led by a female CEO. Deal’s predecessors included Benyamin, Jerry Forte and Phil Tollefson.

Deal was named COO in April 2020 after joining the utility as field services manager. Before that, he was in the U.S. Marine Corps for 10 years and worked in rail-based freight transportation and at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indiana. He joined Duke Energy in 2008, working at Gibson Generating Station, the largest coal-fired power plant in the United States at 3,250 megawatts. During his tenure at Duke, he held various management roles in operations and maintenance, including operations excellence manager.

At Springs Utilities, Deal has been at the forefront of Utilities’ controversial fiber project that involved a contract whose cost grew 300-fold in a short time. The fiber installation will cost $600 million, and Utilities maintains that a lease with a fiber company will offset that investment.

Utilities Board members called the decision difficult and noted the two internal candidates emerged from 175 applicants from across the nation. — PZ

WATER TASK FORCE INCLUDES CSU

A new state task force will study practical ways to promote outdoor water conservation through state policy and local initiatives.

To meet the pressing challenge of urban water conservation, the Colorado Department of Natural Resources and Colorado Water Conservation Board created the Urban Landscape Conservation Task Force, the state announced Feb. 22.

Senior Water Conservation Specialist Catherine Moravec will represent Colorado Springs Utilities on the 21-member board, which also includes members representing other water utilities, water conservation districts, environmental organizations, developers, planning experts and the landscape industry.

“There’s not one single solution to urban water conservation success in Colorado,” said Becky Mitchell, director of the Colorado Water Conservation Board. “It will require a cumulative effort, everyone doing a little bit — so I’m happy to have such a robust team of experts on this Task Force including water providers, urban planning experts, land use experts, developers and more, from all across the state.”

The task force stems from Gov. Jared Polis’ initiatives intended to address the state’s critical water challenges and the Colorado Water Plan, adopted Jan. 24 by the CWCB.

The task force will meet four times over the next year and will consult and coordinate with specialists including affordable housing professionals, water rate experts, arborists, transportation specialists or other groups.

“Rather than just pointing to other states’ methods, the Urban Landscape Conservation Task Force will strive to find solutions that work in our state’s unique environment,” said Dan Gibbs, executive director of the Colorado Department of Natural Resources. “The Task Force will focus on actionable recommendations like setting standards for turf-alternative ‘Colorado Scaping,’ gallons-per-square-foot water budgets, as well as evaluating land use development, water affordability, and much more.” — JD

Colorado Springs Airport served more than a million passengers in 2022, and 2023 got off to a good start with more than 74,000 enplanements and 146,847 total passengers in January. That represented an increase in seats of 4.6 percent over January 2022, COS officials said Feb. 22. The airport expects new nonstop service to Los Angeles by Avelo Airlines to lift the numbers further. Avelo will fly COS to Hollywood-Burbank Airport (BUR) on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays with introductory one-way fares starting at $49.

Colorado House Bill 23-1037, which would allow incarcerated people to earn time off their sentences by pursuing higher education, passed the Colorado House Feb. 21 and was assigned to the Senate Judiciary Committee. Among sponsors of the bipartisan bill is Rose Pugliese (R-Colorado Springs). It would allow inmates sentenced for nonviolent felonies to earn one year of time off their sentences by earning a bachelor’s or associate degree. Certificates requiring fewer education credits would yield shorter spans removed from their sentences.

If you’re visiting Bear Creek Regional Park this week, be sure your dog is leashed and under control, because the goats are back in town. Through March 3, a large herd of cashmere goats will devour weeds on 20 acres of the park around the Charmaine Nymann Community Garden. This is the 25th year the Bear Creek Garden Association has funded the goat buffet, which not only keeps weeds under control near the organic garden, but also fertilizes and aerates the soil.

SHORTCHANGED?

Mayoral candidate took action as a county commissioner that cost the city millions

BY PAM ZUBECK | pzubeck@sixty35media.org

SALLIE

CLARK, WHO’S RUNNING FOR

Colorado Springs mayor, took an action as an El Paso County commissioner 14 years ago that’s cost the city dearly — to the tune of at least $28 million.

For perspective, that’s more than the city spent last year from the general fund for the Planning and Community Development Department and Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services combined.

Another mayoral candidate in the April 4 city election, Wayne Williams, also served as a county commissioner at that time and voted against the measure.

It was December 2008, and Clark had just won the second of her three terms as an El Paso County commissioner. (More on that later.)

The Great Recession of 2007-09 was taking a toll on all local governments, including the county, so Clark and other commissioners were looking for ways to ease the financial pressure.

One way to do that, a majority decided, was to use a maneuver in which the county shifted funds designated for roads and bridges into the general fund, including a portion that for years had been shared with eight municipalities — including Colorado Springs — and reduce the share given to cities and towns.

Before the change, the city had received roughly $3 million a year from the road and bridge property tax mill levy. The county’s action cut the city’s share by at least $2 million a year, city Chief Financial Officer Charae McDaniel says via email.

But Clark defends her action, saying she acted “in the best interest of everyone.”

IN DECEMBER 2008, COMMISSIONERS

passed the county’s 2009 budget by a 4-1 vote, reducing municipalities’ share of road and bridge money and increasing the county’s funding.

Those voting with Clark were Jim Bensberg, Amy Lathen and Dennis Hisey.

The fifth commissioner, Williams, voted against the budget, though he voted for subsequent years’ county budgets that contained the change.

Williams tells Sixty35 news magazine the 2008 vote on the 2009 budget was the only time in his eight years as a commissioner that he voted “no” on a county budget.

“I remember there was one budget I voted against because that cut road and bridge funding,” he says.

A transcript of that meeting provided by Williams shows he had this concern: “This proposes to, in effect, take 3 million [dollars] away from taxes that were specifically paid for road and bridge purposes to spend on a budget that is not sustainable over time.”

Williams, in his bid for mayor in the April 4 city election, has won the endorsement of incumbent Mayor John Suthers.

McDaniel says while commissioners must share some of the road and bridge mill levy money with cities and towns under state law, “What they did is reduce the mill levy (and therefore the funding) for R&B. This cut the revenues of the City of Colorado Springs by almost three million dollars in 2009.”

Before the decrease, the city received about $3 million a year, she says. “So in the last 14 years, it has been about $2 million less per year, which would equal about $28 million,” she says.

In the last three years — 2020, 2021 and 2022 — the city received a combined total of about $2.9 million, the equivalent of one year’s proceeds before commissioners’ 2008 budget maneuver. The recession spurred the county to lay off employees due to falling revenues. The city also cut hundreds of jobs and millions from its budget. The parks department alone suffered a drastic cut from $19.9 million to roughly $3 mil lion, and imposed fee increases on youth sports and other programs.

MAYOR LIONEL RIVERA, THE LAST MAYOR

to serve before the city switched to a strong mayor/ council form of government in 2011, delivered his “State of the City” address in June 2010, the cuts still fresh in his mind.

“I’m also asking our County Commis sioners to reconsider their recent decision to reduce the Coun ty’s road and bridge mill levy and increase their general fund mill levy,” Rivera said in his speech.

“The effect of that policy decision was the reduction of $2.5 million annually from Colorado Springs’ historical allocation of road and bridge funds and transfer ring it to the Coun ty’s general fund. Those funds have historically been allocated to all the cities in the County for road

and bridge infrastructure and I’m confident all my Mayoral colleagues would like it restored,” he added.

Scott Hente served as Council president at that time and remembers the budgetary struggle, exacerbated by the commissioners’ action.

“It was a tough time for all local governments, county and city,” he tells Sixty35. “And it didn’t seem to me the way to help us out was to rob Peter to pay Paul. I thought they robbed from Colorado Springs to enhance the county’s financial position. I thought we were all in this together. I do not see how them taking from us to help them was working together.”

So why is this an important local history lesson now?

“I think it’s important which candidates put the city of Colorado Springs first and acted in the best interest of Colorado Springs, and I don’t think taking the money from Colorado Springs acted in the city’s best interest,” he says. Hente has yet to endorse anyone in the mayor’s race.

Clark says in one answer to questions on Sixty35’s candidate questionnaire, “Our partnership with El Paso County and the commissioners is paramount to ensure that our roads are maintained.”

CLARK SERVED AS A COMMISSIONER FROM 2005 TO 2017.

She won a third term after commissioners submitted a deceptively worded ballot measure to voters asking to “limit” commissioners to three fouryear terms. The law at that time limited commissioners to two four-year terms.

After voters discovered they’d been misled, they demanded a do-over. Commissioners obliged and subsequently resubmitted a new question, which resulted in voters rolling back the limit to two terms. But Clark and Hisey had already won their third terms, which increased the size of their county pensions.

Clark’s budget vote took place in December 2008, shortly after she won her second term in office.

Asked about that budget vote, Clark tells Sixty35 that there’s no mandate that the county share the road and bridge money, though McDaniel calls it “a statutory requirement.”

“Everyone was feeling pain, including the county,” Clark says, noting the reduction in the road and bridge money given to cities was an effort to “spread it [the pain] out.”

She also says that as a commissioner, “I had to look at it from a county perspective, which is a regional government. I had to make sure we had a jail, to be sure we could prosecute the crimes happening in the city limits. I was doing what I thought was in the best interest of everyone at that time, given the recession was upon us, so we could fund the Sheriff’s Office and the DA’s Office and we could keep making sure kids were safe, and fund all the things that were necessary. This was one of the few tools available to us to fill those gaps.”

In any event, she says, “This was 15 years ago. A lot has changed in 15 years. We have to look at what is in front of us to move forward.”

CARE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY.

Times are CHANGING

The Springs’ largest school district balances mental health, bus driver shortages and grade-school parent needs in ongoing debate over new start times

STORY AND PHOTOS BY GRETA ANDERSON JOHNS | gajohns@sixty35media.org

OFFICIALS IN ACADEMY DISTRICT 20 thought they had thoroughly “picked apart” the issue of school start and end times before releasing a proposal in January to dramatically shift when students at all grade levels begin their school days, Chief Communications Officer Allison Cortez says.

The district started examining its times in 2020, with the goal of improving students’ mental health and learning abilities, while considering its limitations, like ongoing bus driver vacancies. It formed a 30-person committee of parents and staff members, which met during the 2021-22 school year to discuss the issues and hear from sleep experts about what’s best for kids — primarily teens — who, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics and other independent researchers, shouldn’t be starting school earlier than 8:30 a.m. (they’re currently starting at 7:45 a.m.)

But it seems the district may have overlooked the impact that the shift could have on elementary school families — at least, that’s how many parents of those younger kids have interpreted the start time discussion.

Several have voiced displeasure about the new schedule D20 released on Jan. 24, which moved and consolidated start times. The district’s

middle schools, which currently have start times ranging from 7:45 a.m. to 8:25 a.m., would all start later at 8:50 a.m. D20 high schools — almost all of which currently start at 7:45 a.m. — would instead start at 8:10 a.m. But elementary schools, all of which currently have start times falling between 8:15 a.m. and 8:45 a.m., would move all the way back to 7:30 a.m.

The shift means elementary kids have to be at school as much as 1 hour and 15 minutes earlier than they do under the current schedule, and Cortez says the district has received more than 125 emails about that from unhappy parents. But they have not heard as much from middle- and high-school parents, aside from a handful who are concerned that their kids will be let out too late for after-school activities (the new end times would be 3:55 p.m. and 3:15 p.m., respectively.)

THE DISTRICT’S INTENTION WAS TO PUT THE PLAN into effect for the 2023-24 school year. However, it quickly reversed course when it began to hear the negative feedback. Many grade-school parents spoke out about the start times during a Feb. 21 town hall meeting hosted by the district, wondering how they could possibly get their young children to bed early enough for a 7:30 a.m. school start; sharing concerns

Dr. Susan Field and Brett Smith speak to D20 parents.

about them walking to the bus stop during dark early morning hours; and questioning what additional child care would be needed for working parents, since the elementary day would end at 2:30 p.m., instead of 3:20-3:50 p.m., under the new schedule.

“I feel like the approach here has been to shove elementary off to the side [and] not give much concern to the impact on them,” one parent said during the meeting. The town hall was one of seven scheduled throughout February and March in an attempt by administrators to explain their position, listen to the concerns of parents and generally bring down the temperature about the issue. The district does still plan to implement changes by the 2024-25 school year, but is open to “adjustments” based on what administrators hear from parents, Dr. Jim Smith, assistant superintendent for planning and engagement, said at the meeting.

Smith is one of the D20 cabinet members who’s been working on the issue, along with Dr. Susan Field, assistant superintendent for learning services. Field said that the district doesn’t want to pick “winners and losers” in the start times plan.

However, improving mental health of adolescent students is a top priority in the change and D20 is limited by its transportation abilities. There are factors that have to be considered for both of these issues, and not much wiggle room.

FOR HEATHER HENNEMAN, A PARENT OF FOUR KIDS WHO attend D20’s pre-K through 12th grade Discovery Canyon Campus, it was the mental health piece that brought her to the table to participate in the district’s Start/End Times Committee.

Henneman now has two high schoolers, and is also highly aware of DCC’s history of student suicide — over 13 months during 2016 and 2017, six DCC students died by suicide, The Gazette reported. As a longtime DCC parent, she’s “lived through a lot of the tragedy,” and it colors her priorities for the start times discussion.

“So, kids’ mental health is really important to me,” she tells Sixty35. “And anything that I can do to ensure that that is a high priority, I’m going to stand up for.”

Field also opened the Feb. 21 town hall by sharing a longer history of student suicide in D20 — from 2011 to 2022, 36 students died by suicide, and because of this, the district has implemented suicide prevention programming, she said. Students’ mental health has also become a greater concern coming out of the COVID pandemic, as it has exacerbated anxiety, depression and suicidal ideation among adolescents nationwide. This has fueled the push for D20 middle and high schools to start later.

Additionally, there are only so many ways the district can slice its elementary, middle and high school start and end times based on its bus driver staffing, said Brett Smith, the district’s chief operating officer. D20 has as many as eight to 15 bus driver openings each day — which sometimes lead to route cancellations — and it has had a shortage of drivers for about a decade, he said at the town hall. Staff are usually not able to get a bus booked for field trips or after-school activities like sports games because of this, Smith said.

“Currently we have about 190 bus routes. They are supported by 101 buses and drivers,” he said. “If we go to the three-tiered [start/end time] system, we can lower the number of buses and number of drivers to 90. That would give us about 10 to 15 flexibility of drivers to be able to support field trips and other activities during the day.

“Transportation is not driving the change in start times,” he later added. “[But] we found if we’re going to change one thing — if we’re going to change start times, the order of who goes first — then let’s solve the transportation problem.”

GRAIN AGAINST THE

SILOS FRONTMAN WALTER

Salas-Humara isn’t calling his group’s current cross-country jaunt a reunion tour, although it does contain elements of that.

For one thing, the shows feature track-bytrack live renditions of Cuba, the 1987 sophomore album that led to the post-punk, preAmericana group being named Best New Artist in a Rolling Stone magazine critics poll.

For another, the setlist will include a generous sampling of the band’s career favorites, ranging from last year’s “Colorado River” single (which Salas-Humara wrote about his whitewater-rafting expeditions) to the obligatory — and self-explanatory — “Let’s Take Some Drugs and Drive Around.”

A Cuban-American singer-songwriter whose family fled Havana when Castro came to power, Salas-Humara grew up in a Spanish-speaking household across the Florida Straits in Fort Lauderdale. After attending the University of Florida in Gainesville, he made the move to New York City, where a burgeoning underground music scene was experimenting with hip-hop, no wave, dance music, and what would eventually come to be known as indie-rock.

It was there that he put together the first incarnation of The Silos, who went on to sign a deal with RCA, perform on The David Letterman Show, and appear regularly on yearend critics’ lists.

In the decades since, The Silos have released well over a dozen albums, while undergoing countless lineup changes, with Salas-Humara being the one constant. Last year saw the release of a new studio album Family on the artist’s own Sonic Pyramid label, as well as a 35th anniversary edition of Cuba, complete with gatefold sleeve and bonus live disc.

Along the way, the musician has also continued to make a name for himself as a visual artist, with works that range from Pop Art canine caricatures to abstract expressionist paintings inspired by his art-school heroes Ellsworth Kelly and Jasper Johns.

Salas-Humara recently spoke with us from New York City — where he was finishing up paintings for a trio of gallery shows — about eccentric guitarists, Colorado connections, and The Silos’ enduring musical legacy.

BY BILL FORMAN BFORMAN@SIXTY35MEDIA.ORG

Sixty35 : When Television frontman Tom Verlaine passed away earlier this month, you posted on Facebook about how, as a guitarist, he’d personified a New York style in which he would play all the “sideways notes” with total confidence. What did you mean by that?

Walter Salas-Humara: It basically means that you don’t play the scales in the normal way. You know, like when you’re going down the scale and you’re supposed to hit the minor third, but you purposely play the major third. And the guitarists who’d do that — you know, like [Television co-founder] Richard Lloyd or Marc Ribot or Robert Quine — none of them played in styles you’d find in music theory manuals. If they were recording a solo part, you’d tell them, “This song is in D,” and they’d just go “I don’t care about that.”

Coming out of the mid-’80s experimental music scene that was centered on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, did you feel like you were part of that?

Well, we were part of the scene, but we were like the “normal” band. I mean, Richard Lloyd did play on Silos records, but there were a lot of noise bands like Cop Shoot Cop, The Honeymoon Killers, Live Skull and Sonic Youth. Whereas we were more like organic guitar-rock.

Did you expect it to catch on?

No, I really hadn’t. I sent the first record out to media outlets and the next thing I knew, we were Pop Album of the Week in The New York Times. It was insane. The NME and all these different fanzines wrote about it, like everybody wrote about it. We even got an A-minus from Robert Christgau in The Village Voice.

So after that, I recruited some folks to start playing shows, and then a band sort of coalesced out of that. We made the second record, and then the third, which was a major label album. I thought, “Wow, this is great. This is gonna go on forever.” And then we got dropped from the major label. Not only did the band fall apart, but management, legal, agent, everything — all of it went away. So then I was back to square one again.

At which point, you’d moved to L.A.

Yeah, and then I started a whole ’nother thing out there. We made a couple more albums and we were mainly playing Europe, because the popularity in the States kind of just went away.

But The Silos continued.

Yeah, The Silos thing keeps going on. I call it the Silos family now, because there’s so many different people that have been involved in it all around the world. So there’s like this body of songs that are performed by these 50 people, and I’m the one that travels around. Me and maybe one other person — from New York or Chicago or someplace else — going to Seattle or Texas or Europe or wherever. But these are all musicians that I’ve worked with over and over and over, and they’re all on the albums.

Even the first Silos album — which was basically seven years’ worth of four-track tapes that I started making when I was 17 back in Florida — that was made with something like 20 different people. But I called it The Silos because I wanted it to seem like a band, which I thought was cooler. I also thought my last name was gonna be too confusing for people, so I wanted something that was kind of like it, but had only two syllables.

Given where our paper is based, I would be remiss not to ask about your Colorado connections. You’ve always played a lot here, and then there’s the “Colorado River” single. You also went to school here for a while, right?

Yeah, I spent my senior year of high school in Colorado. I’ve also recorded with Marc Benning, the guy who books Lulu’s, at his studio up in the mountains. But the song isn’t about Colorado, it’s about rafting down the Colorado River, specifically the part that runs through the Grand Canyon, which is a life-changer. It’s a 16-day journey and there are 100 rapids along the way, and some of them are massively big, like as big as they’re gonna be anywhere. It’s pretty intense and, you know, really fun.

How many shows a year are you averaging these days, either with The Silos or on your own?

Oh, these days probably about 75 or 80, I would say.

So you like being on the road.

Uh, I like performing. That’s how I would answer that question. I mean, we used to do 150 shows a year, we used to play every place we could. Now I play in places where I know people that are old friends, and scenes that I enjoy, and places where, you know, people actually are interested in what I’m doing. I’m not trying to conquer the world anymore.

I called it The Silos because I wanted it to seem like a band, which I thought was cooler.

HOT MARKET

Springs office sector bucks national trends, boasts low vacancy rates

BY JEANNE DAVANT jdavant@sixty35media.org

OFFICE VACANCY RATES

nationwide are at their highest level since 1994, according to a 2022 report from CBRE Group, which found the third-quarter vacancy rate for downtown office buildings at 16.3 percent. In many metro areas, there was an office construction boom in the prepandemic years, and already high vacancy rates were exacer- bated when remote workers fled their offices. Repurposing those empty spaces as industrial facilities or even housing has become a national trend. In 2021, more than 150 buildings in U.S. cities formerly used for other purposes were converted to apart ments, and 41 percent of those originally were office buildings, according to an Oct. 6, 2021, report from RentCafe.

The city of Denver is planning to hire a consultant to study the potential conversion of about a dozen downtown office buildings into condos or apartments, The Denver Post reported on Feb. 17.

But Colorado Springs is not following that trend, local commercial real estate agents say.

“I’ve not heard of that happening in Colorado Springs,” says Peter Scoville, principal at Cushman & Wakefield, which specializes in offices and investments.

“We didn’t have the problem that a lot of markets had throughout COVID,” Scoville says. “We had a defense world that was COVID-proof,” he says. “We’ve had some call centers that have vacated space, but we never got the same type of

Holly Trinidad, at Hoff & Leigh, says demand remains high for office space in Colorado Springs, which did not overbuild

But the pressure for multifamily housing in Downtown Colorado Springs has led some developers to eye existing buildings as sites for new apartments.

“There’s a couple buildings that were purchased and are going to be bulldozed and new apartments are going to go in their place,” she says. (One such building, at 120 W. Cucharras St., which formerly housed the Piano Warehouse, was sold to multifamily housing developer Greystar Real Estate Partners last fall. Sixty35, formerly the Colorado Springs Business Journal, covered that story in October 2022: tinyurl.com/33baveu4.

Trinidad says Hoff & Leigh has one listing, an old office building on North Nevada Avenue, that’s being looked at by potential buyers for possible conversion to apartments.

But Downtown “is probably the only place in Colorado Springs where we’re seeing that,” she says.

‘EXCITING PLANS’

Overall, the Colorado Springs office market remains healthy, Scoville and Cushman & Wakefield Principal Greg Phaneuf write in their fourth quarter 2022 MarketView report.

“At the end of 2021 we declared, ‘We do not anticipate any meaningful changes to the market statistically in 2022, but we do foresee a great deal of activity occurring in the market throughout the year,’” they write. “With 2021 having been a better year than expected, despite the disruption of COVID-19, 2022 did end up to be a year of mild fallout but healthy overall leasing activity.”

Vacancies that did occur in 2022 were quickly backfilled, and the year ended with a vacancy rate of 11.87 percent and a positive absorption of 73,000 square feet, the report says. (Absorption is the difference between space tenants have vacated and space tenants have moved into within a certain time frame.) Those figures compare with a 2021 year-end vacancy rate of 12.68 percent and a negative absorption of 67,500 square feet.

“Fundamentally, Colorado Springs continues to fare well, with apartment construction, retail and industrial all showing very positive signs for 2023,” Scoville and Phaneuf write.

They expect new office construction, although they anticipate that higher interest rates will have a dampening effect during the first half of 2023.

“But with the overall health of the market, we would expect the second half of the year to provide for some exciting plans and the overall growth of our city,” they state.

There’s been a tip in Colorado Springs from being a sleepy military town TO A REALLY HIP, COOL PLACE.

Though vacancies exist, demand for office space remains high in Colorado Springs.

RISING LEASE RATES

One overriding factor is that office lease rates are continuing to rise, Scoville says.

Scoville and Phaneuf’s report breaks down statistics for Class A and B office space into three major submarkets: the north Interstate-25 corridor, the airport (Southeast) area and the central business district.

For the fourth quarter of 2022, vacancies were highest in the north I-25 corridor, with a vacancy rate of 14.03 percent, compared with 8.62 percent in the Southeast and 9.42 percent in the central business district.

Average lease rates were highest in the Southeast area, at $18.41 per square foot, compared with $17.58 in the north I-25 corridor and $17.13 in the central business district. Citywide, the average lease rate was $17.63 PSF. Class A properties are leasing for $20 PSF or more, Scoville said.

He expects rates in the central business district and north I-25 markets to remain flat in the first half of this year, but “smaller blocks in the nicest office properties are commanding increases as demand for higher quality space is strong,” the MarketView report states.

Lease rates in Colorado Springs used to be much less expensive than in Denver, “and now, it’s caught up,” Scoville says, although there is a fundamental difference in the two markets.

“Denver tends to be a full-service lease market, and we’re triple-net down here,” he says, explaining that triple-net leases include both base rent and operating expenses, taxes and insurance, with the tenant responsible for paying those, whereas the landlord pays operating expenses with a full-service lease.

“If you put those on an apples-to-apples basis, we’re relatively comparable to Denver,” Scoville says, although downtown Denver buildings are more expensive because of construction costs there.

“Colorado Springs was always in the shadow of Denver,” but “there’s been a tip in Colorado Springs from being a sleepy military town to a really hip, cool place,” he says. “That’s happened over the last 10 years or so, and it’s the biggest and most material impact on the office market.”

MEDICAL OFFICES

The medical office market was one of the strongest components of the overall office market in Colorado Springs in 2022, Scoville and Phaneuf say.

Two new medical office buildings in the north area — the recently completed four-story Woodmen Medical Plaza adjacent to Penrose-St. Francis Hospi -

tal and the Interquest Medical Office Building, projected to open in May — have added inventory and are an indication of the strong demand, Scoville says. Rental rates for medical offices are 30 percent higher than the current overall market.

“Medical office buildings on hospital campuses continue to thrive as the hospitals expand and need additional space,” the MarketView report says. The obstacle facing the medical office market is the cost of tenant improvements, which has risen substantially.

Medical office buildings are an attractive investment opportunity. Although medical office acquisitions slowed in the second half of 2022 due to rising interest rates, Scoville and Phaneuf expect investment activity to pick up as interest rates stabilize later this year.

“Overall, we expect a healthy medical office market in 2023,” they state.

SALES STILL STRONG

Hoff & Leigh is seeing the most demand for sales in owner-user office space, Trinidad says.

“We have a couple of office buildings that have been on the market for a little bit longer, but inevitably, they end up selling for close to list price,” she says. “Sales aren’t happening as quickly, but they’re definitely still happening, and there’s a strong need for owner-user space.”

That demand crosses all size ranges, she says, from small medical facilities to larger offices.

“This user is sick of leasing and wants to own,” she says. Overall inventory is low, which keeps demand high.

The office sector has slowed down a little bit overall compared with other sectors, she says.

“The industrial market has not really slowed much at all,” Trinidad says.

In the retail sector, “we have seen some defaults happen on leases, from small businesses that can’t sustain, which I think is an indication of a slowdown.”

Inflation has started to affect leasing costs, she says, “simply because costs are more expensive. When you go to build out a space for a retailer, when it used to be $50 a square foot, it’s now $90 or $100 a square foot. That probably has the biggest impact on deals happening on the north side of town, because it’s all new construction.”

But despite inflation and increased lending and borrowing costs, “Q1 will probably be pretty strong,” she says. “It just goes back to the time it takes to get deals done. There’s still a lot of money in the marketplace.”

IRS RED  FLAGS

7 ways to reduce your chances of having your return audited

BY JEANNE DAVANT | jdavant@sixty35media.org

CALIFORNIA ARTIST JOAN BROWN’S CAT, DONALD, IS her muse and model. Brown, who’s painted dozens of portraits of Donald, considers him to be a business asset and lists cat food and vet bills among the deductions on her tax return.

The Internal Revenue Service initially said no, but Brown successfully argued that the deductions should be allowed, according to a Feb. 20 report on NPR’s All Things Considered, earning the cat the nickname “Donald the Deductible.”

“That’s definitely on the fringe,” says Nate Tassler, owner of That Tax Guy, tax instructor at Pikes Peak State College and director of the college’s VITA tax preparation program.

“Every case like that ultimately comes down to facts and circumstances,” Tassler says. “What’s your story, and what can you prove?”

It’s also an example of the kind of deduction that draws the attention of the IRS.

But the No. 1 item most likely to result in an IRS audit is incorrect reporting of income on your tax return, tax experts say.

Forms 1099 and other governmental forms in the IRS system that don’t match up with a return will cause it to be red-flagged, says Buddy Newton, tax partner at Stockman Kast Ryan + Co, and adjunct professor at UCCS.

“That will generally create some type of correspondence audit, via a letter from the IRS with an adjustment proposed,” he says. “That takes time and money to respond to or to look at, and if you didn’t report the income, they’re going to assess whatever tax is due. If it hasn’t been paid timely, there will be interest and penalties

The first thing to do if you are subject to an audit is to find an enrolled agent — someone credentialed by the IRS to represent taxpayers, a CPA or a tax attorney, says Susan Puckett, owner of Stark Tax Services.

The IRS conducts some random audits, Puckett says, and audits have increased over the past five years.

“If you’re a higher-income taxpayer, your chances of going through a full audit or a correspondence audit randomly generated by their system is greater,” Newton says. “There’s likely more items inside of that return that could be reported wrong.”

Here’s what Tassler, Newton and Puckett advise taxpayers to do to lessen the chances of an audit and to make sure you have the best outcome if you are audited.

1. Keep track of all W-2s and Forms 1089 and 1099 and make sure that income is listed on your return. Sometimes people will inadvertently omit money they took out of a retirement account, Tassler says. That can happen if you leave a job, withdraw money from a 401(k) plan and forget to report it, he says.

2. Don’t incorrectly claim a dependent. “Something we see quite often is folks may claim a child on their return when someone else has already claimed that child,” Newton says. That can occur when parents are getting divorced or when a divorce decree allows parents to claim the child in alternate years. “Sometimes a parent will claim a child when it’s not their year,” he says.

3. If you’re self-employed or have gig income in addition to W-2 income, make sure you understand the rules for deducting expenses such as meals and mileage. “The IRS loves to audit things like mileage,” Tassler says. “If you can’t prove the deduction, you can’t take it.” Gig income is reported on Schedule C. “You do have to pay income tax on whatever your net earnings are after expenses,” he says. If you have net earnings of $400 or more, you also pay self-employment tax on those earnings.

4. If you’re claiming a home office deduction, make sure you’re following the rules. First and foremost, you cannot take a home office deduction if you are an employee, even if you work remotely full time. If you are selfemployed, you can claim the deduction for a space that you use regularly and exclusively for business and you don’t do anything else there. “A kitchen table cannot be a home office, because you also eat dinner there,” Tassler says. The home office deduction can reduce your profits but can’t create a loss, he says. “If you already have a loss from your business, based on your other income and expenses, the home office doesn’t help you.” It can, however, draw the attention of the IRS.

5. Large charitable deductions, especially non-cash deductions, may redflag your return. If you want to deduct a donated vehicle or work of art valued at more than $5,000, “you’re required to have an appraisal of that value,” Newton says.

6. Don’t violate the “hobby loss rule.” This can happen when a sole proprietor reports losses for more than three years. “That will generally create a red flag for the IRS that this is potentially a hobby,” Newton says. “Certainly a business in startup mode can incur losses,” he says, “but what tends to happen is that people try to run their hobbies through a Schedule C and take that loss to offset income. The IRS looks at that pretty heavily.” Business owners who know they’re likely to have losses for several years can avoid the red flag by setting up an S corporation. “Losses aren’t as heavily scrutinized when it’s a separate business filing,” Newton says. But big losses also may flag a return, Puckett says.

7. Properly report gambling winnings. Gaming facilities are required to report winnings on a W-2G tax form when they exceed certain amounts depending on the type of gambling — for example, slot machine winnings of $1,200 or more. “The casino is required to send you that tax document,” Newton says. Net losses are not deductible, but net winnings must be reported.

If you can’t prove the deduction, YOU CAN’T TAKE IT.

— Nate Tassler

IF YOU’RE AUDITED

If you’ve filed correctly, you’re unlikely to hear from the IRS, unless you’re among the unfortunate 1 percent of taxpayers who get picked by a computer for a random audit.

“They’re randomly picking people to verify their Social Security number and verify who they are,” Puckett says. That’s being done because fraudulent use of Social Security numbers is on the rise.

Congress has allocated money to the IRS to hire more agents, but Puckett does not anticipate that will greatly increase the number of audits.

“They are so short of agents that it’s insane,” she says. “Since April 2020, it’s taken a good two or three days to get hold of someone at the IRS.”

Taxpayers whose reported income doesn’t match IRS records usually will receive a letter called a CP2000 notice that proposes an adjustment to the return. If you agree with the proposed changes, the IRS states on its website, you return the response form and pay the proposed amount, if any, within 30 days. If you disagree, you’ll need to submit a signed statement explaining why and provide supporting documentation.

Send everything by certified mail, Tassler recommends. The IRS considers documents filed on the date you send it if you use certified mail.

The worst thing you can do is to ignore the correspondence, which can result in additional interest and penalties. You can ask for an extension if you can’t respond within the time frame, Tassler says.

The IRS initiates most contacts by mail, but in rare cases, an IRS agent will show up at your house or place of business, Puckett says. According to the IRS website, that can occur when you have an overdue tax bill or a delinquent return, or if an agent needs to view assets or tour a business as part of an investigation or audit.

If an agent approaches you in person, verify their identity — all agents carry a badge and ID, and contact an enrolled agent, CPA or tax attorney and let them represent you, she says.

If the IRS requires you to come in for an audit, you’ll be told specifically what portion of your return is being audited and what to bring.

Well-organized taxpayers are ahead of the game, Tassler says. When you respond, stick to facts and provide only necessary documentation.

“The people that process correspondence audits generally have a heavy workload. If your information is not clear, they may not find in your favor, even if the evidence supports you,” he says.

Using accounting software like QuickBooks or Xero is a huge advantage when the IRS asks for records, Tassler says. For example, the IRS has specific requirements for deducting business meals, including keeping records of who was there and what was discussed.

“If you’ve scanned your receipts and entered the information, you can print out a report, and you’re way ahead of the game,” he says.

THE LIST

According to Newmark Group’s Q4 2022 National Industrial Market: Conditions & Trends report, consumers are becoming more optimistic as the economy continues to grow and labor markets remain tight, and although interest rates are rising, inflation is slowing faster than expected.

TLC for Manitou

Fire department brings emergency equipment, personnel in-house

BY RHONDA VAN PELT | rvanpelt@sixty35media.org

ON FRIDAY, FEB. 10, MANITOU

Springs Fire Department leaders were nearly busting their uniform buttons with all the gratitude and excitement they were feeling about the department’s new ambulances. The two gleaming giants, one brand new and one slightly used, sat in front of the fire station on Manitou Avenue that day.

Chief John K. Forsett and Deputy Chief Keith Buckmiller spoke about the additions two days before the ambulances officially went into service at 8 a.m. Sunday, Feb. 12.

Buckmiller explained the importance of having the ambulances and personnel in the heart of the city, rather than waiting for help to come from Colorado Springs via American Medical Response.

Rhonda Van Pelt

“We’ve already taken away one leg of the transport, the ambulance coming from someplace else to here,” Buckmiller said. “So we just have one leg taking the patient to the hospital, which is going to be a huge benefit for patient care.”

Forsett emphasized that geography, not AMR’s ability, has impacted ambulance response times to Manitou.

“Our relationship with AMR, it’s been fantastic, it really has,” the chief said. And we expect it to be that way into the future as well.”

Traditionally, AMR’s contract with El Paso County specified responding to calls in less than 18 minutes — anywhere in the county.

“That’s difficult to do, having that many ambulances on the street at one time to provide the entire county and the city service in a timely manner,” Forsett said. “And since we sit out here on a fringe area, on the far west

over,” he said. “So we had maybe eight to 14 minutes’ worth of contact time, which will change drastically now.”

City Council first heard the ambulance purchase proposal May 10, 2022. As Public Information Officer Alex Trefry explained, they were paid for out of the city’s Capital Fund through a July 2022 budget amendment. The fire department’s portion of the city budget will fund personnel salaries and the ambulances’ gas and maintenance costs in the years to come.

The older ambulance, which was previously used in Idaho for non-emergency responses, was purchased in October 2022; the brand-new one was purchased in November.

Buckmiller praised Manitou Springs City Council for committing to fund the purchases.

“They took a big risk. … And they did that because they wanted to provide the service for the community,” he said.

To start with, the department needed $625,000 “seed money”

If those people and ambulances respond to calls outside of Manitou city limits, the city is reimbursed. If the new paramedics and EMTs deploy to another state to help with a natural disaster, the city is reimbursed.

Forsett described what would happen if a multicar accident occurs on U.S. Highway 24.

The county’s emergency communications center alerts MSFD after obtaining information and deciding what resources will be needed. MSFD prepares to roll out while asking questions, such as whether the accident scene is in the westbound or eastbound lanes, because that determines the route the ambulance will take. If more than three people are injured, both ambulances will respond.

When calls come in about injuries on the Manitou Incline, the ambulances will stay at the station to support residents and visitors. The MSFD will continue to partner with El Paso County Search and Rescue; those people will get injured hikers down the steep hillside, then to the ambulance.

Buckmiller opened the new ambulance’s rear doors for a mini-tour on Feb. 10.

He’s especially enamored with the electric lift for gurneys. A simple push of a button and it drops from the ambulance for a patient to be loaded; push the button again and the gurney rises to the ambulance.

“The ambulance will save the patients. This will save our paramedics” from the exertions of loading

“This thing is set up to do many, many things

The Manitou Springs Fire Department’s new ambulance sits in front of the station on Feb. 10.

Your nextdoor neighbor could be in the back of the ambulance with you.

“POSITIVE SIGNS”

Southeast gains momentum thanks to planned residential, commercial development

BY AMANDA HANCOCK

GETTING ONE PART OF COLORADO

Springs to grow has been the talk of the town since as far back as 2007.

“Ever since then, there has been a focus on revitalization of the Southeast,” says Carl Schueler, comprehensive planning manager with the city of Colorado Springs. “There have been some pretty positive signs, relatively speaking.”

As the planning manager, Schueler has spent years looking at what’s being built — or not built — in the city’s Southeast, defined loosely as the 80910 and 80916 ZIP codes.

“For a very significant period of time, we didn’t have very much residential and very little commercial development in that corridor,” he says. “We’ve now identified multiple dozens of projects that have moved forward. Stuff is happening down there.”

One of the latest projects comes from Solid Rock Community Development Corporation, which has new ideas for a 38,000-square-foot building and surrounding land near the intersection of Jet Wing Drive and Chelton Road. After purchasing the property in July 2022, plans have taken shape to build a 70-unit affordable housing complex on roughly 2 acres of land there, according to Ben Anderson, Solid Rock’s executive director. Colorado Springs groups N.E.S. Landscape Architects (known for the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum and Gold Hill Mesa) and Echo Architecture + Interiors (Loyal Coffee, Kinship Landing, The Trolley Block) will help convert the existing commercial building into a retail complex and “community hub,” Anderson says.

Solid Rock previously planned to bring such a community hub to the Mission Trace shopping center, but those efforts have found a new home near Jet Wing Drive.

“The culture of the Southeast will be expressed there,” Anderson says. “We want to have businesses that the community feels are important.”

One of those businesses will be Stompin’ Groundz, a coffee shop from Southeast resident Julie Ramirez. It is expected to open within the next six months.

“The great thing about this is we own the property, so we have a lot more freedom with the concept of community hub,” Anderson says. “It will give people a place to gather, a place for families, a place for recreation. It’s certainly going to increase the value of that area. All of those things are a benefit to the Southeast.”

A timeline for the entire project is still being determined, Anderson says.

The same corporation is behind The Village at Solid Rock, an affordable housing development that broke ground in April 2022. The Village is planned as a four-story, 77-unit

complex of apartments for renters earning between 30 percent and 60 percent of the area median income.

On Feb. 14, City Council approved the Hancock Commons Urban Renewal Plan, which features 180 apartments and 72 townhomes at market rate and would come with infrastructure updates.

Residents of the area have already seen new developments to include the Swire Coca-Cola USA facility, a 145,000-square-foot building at 1935 Cygnet Heights, which opened its doors in July 2022.

Anderson feels “optimistic” about the future of Southeast Colorado Springs, an area he’s been involved with for 20 years.

“One of the city’s initiatives was always to bring the investment to the Southeast, so it mirrors the rest of the city, and that’s what is taking place,” Anderson says. “It feels good to have it finally happening. We’ve been talking about it for a long time.”

Food justice for BLACK WOMEN

RECOGNITION FOR BLACK

architects of change may be relegated to honorable mentions during Black History Month, but their contributions are fundamental to building the “dream” and are too numerous to count. Many Black Americans have shepherded advances that continue to benefit humanity to this day.

But the best way to recognize and honor the contributions of Black folks is to actively work to dismantle racist systems and structures, particularly the antiBlackness that is spun into every fiber of this country and diaspora. Opportunities to do so present themselves every month. One way is to look at Black maternal health through the lens of food justice. All the ways that fresh food access can be increased for mothers matter.

“Black women are three times more likely to die from a pregnancy-related cause than white women,” according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Additionally, Black mamas were more likely to have iron-deficiency anemia requiring transfusion at the time of hospital admission (and Black babies and toddlers more commonly suffer from iron deficiency). While sunlight and bilirubin lights are good, regular access to fresh iron-rich foods like dark leafy greens, beans, meats and seafood are better. These numbers are not affected by education, income level, age, or when prenatal care is started. In general, women are at higher risk of being deficient in iron (which can only be absorbed through diet), because of menstruation. However, it stands to reason that Black women who live below the poverty line, struggle to maintain housing and experience food insecurity face a war for their health every single day. Sure

there are many, many reasons for and solutions to this disparity, but increasing hemoglobin (a protein that carries oxygen through the blood to the organs) seems to be fundamental. Low iron levels can have a huge impact on quality of life, affecting energy, educational performance, work capacity, mood, premature birth, and development.

But it wasn’t pregnant women that got me thinking about this. Over the break from Christmas to New Year’s, I know of two women under 60 who died as a result of chronic illness. I’m not a doctor, but it could be argued that their chronic illnesses might fall in the category of diet-related disease.

I started to think of the long-term impacts of these ailments on a community that prematurely loses its mothers (and fathers too). I pondered Black women as matriarchs, how they’re central to pushing forward society, democracy, art, culture, health and wealth. Black women’s existence is not just Black history, but Black future.

So although Black Maternal Health Week is not until April 11-17 this year, we have time to think about what a practical commitment to improving health outcomes for Black women could look like. One priority: Support the Farm Bill. Renewing every five years, this single piece of federal legislation spans issues including nutrition, conservation, rural development and crop insurance through the lens of equity. It’s a way to boost fresh food access in urban communities. Although Black women have not always been at decision-making tables that impact this access, their contributions to agriculture and community food access have fed people for millennia.

Let’s share that goal.

MICHELLE CHOCOLATIERS’ ICONIC

Tejon Street location had sat vacant for so many years there was an excitement around town in hearing someone was finally reviving food service there. News came it was Munchies, growing ambitiously considering they only launched as a food truck a few years back. They then joined on at the revived Triple Nickel Tavern for a year-and-a-half term, which led to this move, with a late November launch.

If there’s any inherent pressure to opening in a legacy storefront with a larger overhead, owners Chuck and MaryAnn Thomas aren’t showing it, as I observe in casually chatting with them during both a breakfast and late afternoon visit. She appears chill, even if the dining room’s completely empty when I dine, leaving me to inquire about when they are seeing good business. (Apparently, that’s during weekend brunch hours, evenings and random times.) He, the chef, presents rather confidently with 17 years in the industry, including his start just doors away at Old Chicago. He worked there for six years before bouncing around, including a stint with the Blue Star Group in the early years of their Ivywild School projects. He’s used to high volume and hopes to expand his catering service. He strikes me as one of those good-at-everything guys — he also oversees the business’ social media and digital duties, and he built out much of the new dining room interior and co-designed and decorated the space with his wife.

They have good eyes. It’s stylish. Mostly gray tones with intentional color pops, mainly from a row of bright, multicolor bar stools, but also recessed decorative shelving on a half wall they’ve filled with small trinkets and planters. He refurbished old overhead lighting fixtures from Michelle’s and also their bar shelves, which are brightly lit, with booze bottles in the back dining room and parfait glasses in the front vintage-soda-fountainstyle ice cream shop. There, they honor Michelle’s sweets legacy by serving shakes, malts and sundaes.

But there’s much more available than that on the daily breakfast, lunch and dinner menus. I ask Chuck to describe this unique brand of eclectic food service that presents a rather large menu with the potential to overwhelm. That is, until you realize, that just like at Chinese places, it’s just various renditions of dishes made out of the same core ingredients, so inventory and prep in the kitchen’s actually not all that wild. He confirms that analysis and explains how he stocks a handful of meats and foundational pantry ingredients like flour and sugar to make everything from scratch, including sauces, condiments and baked goods. So carnitas, for example, will appear on tacos on one side of the menu, but atop eggs or homemade waffles on the other side as a breakfast dish.

“I tell people it’s old-school diner food with fusion,” he says.

Munchies makes moves in the iconic Michelle Chocolatiers location, playing a heavy hand with huge portions

STORY AND PHOTOS BY MATTHEW SCHNIPER | mschniper@sixty35media.org

The loaded Blazin Porky with a jalapeño cheddar waffle, carnitas, chicharrones and more

fatty and/or sweet in various combinations. Portions are big, almost punishing, which isn’t a bad thing when it comes to value for the price. And I’m always fine to take a to-go box for another snack or meal later. But it might help to go in with the expectation of a gut-buster vs. modest meal, one in which you and your pals may wish to get a 48-ounce, “candy bowl size” giant cocktail to split — garnishes include sugar rims, whipped cream tops, pucker straws and even gummy bears and worms. There are shots, boozy shakes, classic and signature

garnishes aiding in the bright acidity. We can’t say we’d do the extra garnishes again (somewhat cold and hard), but it was amusing once. An espresso martini made with vodka, cream, walnut bitters and Italian Borghetti coffee liqueur sips expectedly heavy and rich, more of an after-dinner drink that certainly can work at brunch, too. For house drip, they serve local Barista Espressoroasted Tanzania Peaberry coffee, a dark roast with a somewhat astringent finish likened to black tea notes. A splash of provided non-dairy creamer softens the bit-

At breakfast we go for the Roosters Nest and Blazin Porky Waffle. The former starts with a bed of housecut fries, limp even before they sog under house green chile, fried chicken chunks and two eggs that we get scrambled. Big pork hunks in the green chile make it quite meaty with the tender chicken bits, but that green chile tastes too strongly of just chile powder and cumin, bearing more a red color and lacking the dynamic, floral earthiness of other green chiles. My dining mate compares it to another rendition at an eatery down the street and he rules no contest; this one’s not entirely bad, just not close to it. The Blazin Porky starts with a jalapeño cheddar waffle base that gets topped with ample juicy, well-seasoned, shredded carnitas (the pork edges not traditionally crispy, though), chicharrones (airy with more a panko crunch) and a fresh, sharp, spicy medley of green onions, vinegary pickled red onions, jalapeños, sriracha, salsa verde and a cooling crème fraiche drizzle over my over-easy egg cap. I add the house Afterburn hot sauce that itself delivers a nice, tart, almost fruity heat with a tomato paste consistency. All in all it’s a busy dish that pleases and packs in the calories; it’s probably impossible not to have the waffle sog in the middle as you eat, but that’s the only textur -

I had my attention on texture, as friends who dined weeks earlier had told me they experienced some under-crisped and -toasted elements of their meals. I notice an unevenness in the waffles, with blond edges and browned centers, for example.

AT LUNCH, THAT SAME JALAPEÑO CHEDDAR

waffle becomes the bun of the jalapeño popper burger, which I find way less odd than the marketplace craze some years ago over glazed donut buns (which I found cloyingly vile). This one’s bready and savory enough to play nice, joining a juicy medium rare patty (listed as local beef, but Chuck can only tell me it comes from a guy named Tyler from Denver), cheddar jack, spinach-artichoke-dip-stuffed jalapeño slices and bacon with a sriracha mayo smear enlivened by lemon zest. That one little citrus touch proves meaningful to the sum flavor and it’s indicative of Chuck’s attention to the micro aspects of what completes the flavor layering to make a fittingly (for the name) poppin’ burger. I also dig that he flips the burger over on the grill to caramelize the cheese into a crispy, browned skirt, which provides a contrast texture to the soft waffle, along with the crispy bacon, whose grease just adds to the plate’s whole sodium-saturated, heart-attack underpinnings. You’ll need a fork and knife to eat it. And you likely won’t need to eat for the rest of the day. I didn’t.

That’s partly because I also ate two of the four deepfried Philly Cheese EggRolls off the shareables menu, which are stuffed with seared steak bits, onions and bell peppers à la the classic sandwich. The oiliness of that molten interior seems to keep the wrappers (hit with blackening seasoning for presentation aroma) from crisping evenly, but they’re crunchy enough to stay composed as you dip them into a side bowl of thick, salty queso fortified by Blue Moon beer. Yes, that makes for more nap-inducing richness unless you’re employing them as drunk food to sober up or stoner bites. (You are eating at a place named Munchies, after all.)

If you are craving a sweet ending and don’t want ice cream, consider the Death by Chocolate Brownie, constructed with Ghirardelli products, to include a mix of different cacao chips (dark, bitter and milk) for more nuanced chocolate essence, plus a chocolate sauce and caramel drizzling, and pieces of commercial Munch peanut brittle for puffy, salty, nutty contrast. The puckshaped brownie bakes to a firm but chewy exterior and soft, gooey core. I take it to-go and share it with others who destroy it gleefully (minus one naysayer who finds it too sweet for her palate).

In mulling over my meals full-bellied afterwards, I do find it thematically fitting that Munchies, in taking over Michelle’s legacy in the spot, does have a bit of the come-here-for-a-treat aspect to its comfort-food-to-themax vibe. It’s excessive in somewhat of a supersize-me way popularized in part by food truck culture but also amateur home cooks getting crazy in their kitchens (possibly while high) and posting YouTube and TikTok videos. It’s modern culinary Americana. It’s definitely not health food. I couldn’t eat this heavily often, but in thinking of it as I would a dessert bar — a place for that more rare splurge or candy fix — it gets the job done. Viewed in that context, it seems to have found its place. It’s not perfect, a little rough (or soft, actually) around the edges at turns, but it will bury you in food and drink for a fair price by volume.

ZETA,

DENVER AND COLORADO Springs are so close to each other — yet so far apart. The state capital is only an hour(ish) away but we have two totally different music scenes. It’s great, though, that a community has been built where Denver bands play here and Springs bands play up there.

Nightwraith’s Ben Pitts lives in Denver and is no stranger to the Springs scene.

“I personally have a long history with playing shows in Colorado Springs with previous Denver bands,” Pitts says. “It was around 2004 that I started regularly playing the Springs with [former band] To Be Eaten. It was mostly punk houses back then and occasionally Black Sheep, when it was called Industrial Nation. Our favorite shows were always at the High Life House, and for anyone who remembers, it was this really cool community of traveling bands, artists and progressive punk rock kids.”

“It was this great moment in time where it seemed like there was so much fun and opportunity to be had,” he says. “There were some other cool punk houses that popped up over the years, like the Everyday House. I’ve played plenty of shows in the Springs since, with other bands, but those early years were really special. I’m not sure if house shows are still common these days, but if they are, I want to play some more basements!”

This Friday, March 3, Pitts will bring

a stacked lineup of some of Denver’s finest metal acts to Vultures Nightwraith, Matriarch and Lost Relics will be joined by Colorado Springs’ Ob Nixilis for an evening of Colorado brotherhood forged in the name of metal. (This is quite possibly the corniest, yet most incredible thing I’ve ever written.)

“It’s important for music and music cultures to spread outside of their origins,” says Pitts. “Music and art seem like some of the last pure things left in this world, and they need to be accessible for as many people as possible. We have a vibrant heavy music scene in Denver that can easily be shared with surrounding cities, and we love hosting bands from the Springs too. ... It’s also in every band’s best interest to travel outside of their main city to keep growing their following, so it’s mutually beneficial.”

THERE’S A LOT MORE HAPPENING

as we head into the weekend. On Thursday, the party kicks off early at Vultures with some reggae-funk fusion from Underground Springhouse and Charlie Milo. Head next door to The Black Sheep for a killer local metal show with The Guise of A Demon, Tovenaar, When Darkness Falls and Beyond Forgiveness

Friday night, head to the Sheep for some excellent trip hop beats and more from Wax Tailor, with Kuf Knotz and Christine Elise. If you’re looking for some classics, head to Stargazers for a special tribute to folk legends Harry Chapin

and John Prine. Performing heartfelt tribute songs will be Joe Uveges, Sean Anglum, Lewis Mock, Stephen Foster, Cindy Greene and Stargazer’s very own John Hooton The Triple Nickel will be hosting a show of hard rock heavies with Hell’s Circus, Cryptic Writings and Diskount Vodka bringing in the punk. There’s even more heaviness going on in Bar-K’s newly renovated basement venue, now known as The Dog House. They’ll be hosting the thrashy death metal of Pueblo’s Panpsychism, black metal from Among the Land of the Blind, and grindcore from Colorado Springs/Pueblo’s newest hybrid Used Up Saturday night is now upon us — so check out some indie rock at Bar-K from Same Dude, Grimmly and Orange Door Sunday night, March 5, is one for the books. The Black Sheep will feature the reggae of J Boog and Likkle Jordee. The walls will surely be shaking next door at Vultures thanks to desert rock legends Nebula playing with Never Kenezzard and Replica City. Nebula has been rocking since 1997, when guitarist Eddie Glass and then drummer Ruben Romano formed the band after leaving Fu Manchu. Over the years, the band has had some member changes, with Glass remaining the only original, but still putting out quality rock tunes for heshers everywhere. With more than seven full-lengths, several live albums and EPs, they have a catalog ready to blow out your ears on a Sunday night!

Even as a member of the Boulder duo Chairlift, Caroline Polachek’s pop compositional talents were obvious. Since going solo eponymously and as “Ramona Lisa,” Polachek stretched the limits of electronic pop. Desire, I Want to Turn Into You (Sony Music), released for streaming Feb. 14, extends such leaps exponentially. The opening track “Welcome to My Island” has a style recalling epic 1980s dance extravaganzas. But in the following song, Polachek finds a voice like Imogen Heap in the quiet “Pretty in Possible.”

The dozen tracks don’t follow a radical whiplash from song to song. Polachek’s synth-style was emergent in 2019’s stunning Pang, and now this hybrid approach combining elements of Heap and Kate Bush is applied to ballads like “Hopedrunk Everlasting,” and even a faux-Celtic reel, “Blood and Butter,” with young bagpipe virtuoso Brìghde Chaimbeul. Polachek’s May 14 Denver date at Mission Ballroom is a chance to catch a possible artist of the year.

Free Range, Practice (Mick Music)

– Sofia Jensen is a regular fixture in the Chicago music cloister around Jeff Tweedy and Wilco. The debut of Jensen’s Free Range project is a subtle and alluring affair, opening with a tenor vocal approach like Bon Iver, before settling into a quiet confessional style closer to Big Thief or Soccer Mommy. Tracks like “Growing Away” or “Want to Know” are perfect for crying in your beer in a small-town tavern.

JD Clayton, Long Way from Home (self-released) – That unassuming Arkansas singer who opened for Tanner Ursey at Vultures Feb. 23 is as far from black-hat bros as country music gets. Clayton’s debut album is loaded with simple gratitude for fatherhood and rural life. Tracks like “American Millionaire” prove that sincerity doesn’t have to equal syrupy. Clayton hopes to show Nashville that good country music can avoid the shit-kicker syndrome.

Online game service Bash.gg targets young students, Widefield School District 3 pushes back

BY NICK RAVEN | nraven@sixty35media.org

WITH OVER 238 MILLION COPIES SOLD, ACCORDING

to publisher Microsoft, Minecraft is the best-selling game of all time. It’s a huge hit with younger players and their friends who can work together in its virtual worlds made up of blocky, colorful 3D graphics and easy-to-learn gameplay.

But one new web-based gaming service that allows you to play Minecraft right through your browser — Bash.gg — is crying foul after being banned from Widefield School District 3’s computers. The service says they were notified by WSD3 students that the district had held a “handbook assembly” to tell students not to use their service and that Bash.gg were “hackers” who were “trying to find [out their] account passwords.”

Bash.gg was originally founded to work on blockchain-related projects, but founder and CEO Kyle Zappitell says they’ve dropped blockchain entirely as the company changed strategies. A May 2022 press release reveals that Bash. gg pivoted to compete with “monopolistic” digital storefronts like Steam, Apple’s App Store and the Google Play app store by offering developers more revenue share than those marketplaces (Bash.gg says they take 15 percent of a game’s purchase price versus the others’ 30 percent.) Their team is small — a distributed group of five — and Zappitell says they all wear many hats in their early startup phase.

As a software engineer at Microsoft, Zappitell worked on the company’s PC and mobile Xbox apps. He was inspired to make video gaming more accessible via customers’ phones or Chromebooks without the need for a full-sized computer or dedicated gaming hardware. He left Microsoft to found Bash. gg, a portal that offers simpler, web-based games, similar to sites like Newgrounds, Kongregate and Miniclip, with ambitions of offering gamers the ability to play Fortnite and Call of Duty: Warzone

Zappitell is very clear about why their gaming service targets young students — citing Snapchat’s initial popularity among middle schoolers and the desirability of games like Minecraft, Fortnite and Roblox — and he’s excited to see so many young gamers use their service. “The way I look at it, any big technological shift, especially social-technological or even software, seemingly starts with middle schoolers and high schoolers.” He says traffic on the service spikes around students’ lunch time and then in the afternoon as they get home.

But did Widefield’s school district really tell students that Bash.gg were hackers trying to steal their passwords? And did they hold assemblies dis -

suading them from using their service? Sixty35 got in touch with Carlos Lopez, the district’s director of technology services, who explained that the district did ban the site from school computers, but they held no assemblies and conducted no information campaigns about the site otherwise.

“Our department really is technology-friendly,” Lopez says. “It would be difficult to staff [this] department with individuals who are anti-technology. Many of our staff members and team members probably go home and take an active role in gaming as well.” Lopez points out that the district even supports eSports programs in two of their schools — and hopes to add more in the future. “I want to be really clear: We have nothing against gaming or any platform for gaming,” he says. “We are not organizing assemblies throughout our district to say use this or don’t use the other.”

So what led to the ban? Lopez says that a student in an unspecified WSD3 school was using Bash.gg to play games in class, which bypassed both the school’s web filters and the teacher’s remote screen monitoring program. This alerted the teacher and the issue escalated. The district implements web filters to screen out inappropriate content like pornography, gambling and violence, but also to ensure the safety and security of its students.

Bash.gg seems to have built a reputation as a means to bypass school secu-

Bash.gg’s website is designed to lure student gamers.

bash.gg

rity programs to play games like Minecraft. A YouTube video with the title “How to play Minecraft On a chromebook 2023 (WORKING)” has over 6,000 views and features a user signing into Bash.gg to play the game. Commenters ask if it’ll work on school Chromebooks and proclaim their success (or failure) in getting the game to work with the prescribed method.

Lopez points out a neon pink banner along the top of Bash.gg’s site that reads “bash.gg blocked at your school? Try this fresh, unblocked domain” followed by another web address that allows students to continue to access the site, bypassing school filters. WSD3 opted to ban not just Bash.gg, but all of its subsequent proxy URLs as they’re discovered. Zappitell’s version of events correlates with this.

“My inkling is that they tried to ban us, and then we changed out the domain so that the kids could still access it and I think [WSD3] got upset with that,” he says.

When the district held an assembly about digital citizenship and the danger of circumventing school filters, Lopez believes that a group of student gamers went to Bash.gg about it, who then reached out to the media. Lopez was not at the assembly but doesn’t believe the site was brought up specifically.

The site’s privacy policy explicitly states that they “do not knowingly allow anyone under eighteen (18) to provide any personally identifying information to us without the express permission of a parent or guardian,” but as Lopez points out, this speaks contrary to Bash.gg’s encouraging students to subvert school filters to access it. The site does not warn users to consult an adult if they are underage, nor does the service verify the user’s age.

Zappitell describes Bash.gg’s site as an “aggregator” and a glance at Bash. gg’s offerings reveals a small collection of demos, casual games Snake and 2048, and then Minecraft, all of which are free to play through the site. He explains they have direct relationships with developers who asked to be on the site, so there are a pair of games available for purchase as of the time of this writing.

Bash.gg’s collection of games includes errors and distorted graphics and lacks content warnings for its games, such as industry-standard ESRB ratings for applicable titles. Their description for the popular action game Vampire Survivors, whose title is misspelled on their site, reads “This is the demo version. The full version can be purchased on steam,” which is a rival platform, but not through Bash.gg.

I WANT TO BE REALLY CLEAR: We have nothing against gaming or any platform for gaming.

— Carlos Lopez

But logging into the service and playing Bash.gg’s Minecraft, which only requires e-mail verification, reveals more. Alongside a clearly misspelled title graphic (it reads “Mincerat” instead of “Minecraft”), the main menu reveals that this is the “eaglercraft” version — an unauthorized, cracked version designed to bypass the game’s digital rights management and work in web browsers. The version number is 1.5.2, which was originally released in May 2013, meaning it lacks a decade’s worth of improvements and added features compared to the legitimate game. In our interview, Zappitell explained that in the case of games like Minecraft, they “find it on another site and display it on [Bash.gg’s] site.”

When asked if Bash.gg had any direct relationships with school districts in Colorado, Texas or Michigan, where Zappitell says they’re experiencing growth, he says they haven’t, but that they have reached out to five unspecified schools directly. Told WSD3’s position, Zappitell says he understands the district’s perspective.

“At this point, we feel fairly confident that the kids love our site,” he says.

“And then, of course, we have to make both parents and faculty members feel confident that this is a great site for kids to learn and socialize and grow [as well].”

But Zappitell was also agitated that multiple attempts to reach the individual WSD3 school where the initial incident occurred went unreturned and Bash.gg had not been provided instructions to contact the school district directly.

“Rather than talking to us about it, they decided to go the route of spreading misinformation to these kids, which I thought was honestly really shocking because they’re a government-funded institution that shouldn’t be lying to kids,” he says. “It was very frustrating for us, especially because they were unwilling to actually talk to us about it.”

As of this writing, Lopez has not heard from Zappitell nor has Bash.gg taken down its pink banner redirecting students to unfiltered domains.

Lopez says WSD3 has policies in place when adding technological services for its users and that the district regularly receive unsolicited offers and promotions it may investigate. While he says WSD3 would normally have no issue engaging in a conversation with a games portal like Bash.gg — the district can’t police every website that its students can engage with, gaming or otherwise — it seems clear that won’t be possible now.

Lopez says, “I would not support any vendor who demonstrates the practices and argumentative style I am experiencing from Bash.gg.”

LIFELINE

Mt. Carmel’s Next Chapter aims to reduce veteran suicides

BY AMANDA MILLER LUCIANO

ON AVERAGE, MORE THAN ONE MILITARY VETERAN died by suicide per week in El Paso County in 2021, a staggeringly high number statistically that places the county among the worst in the country for veteran suicide rates. Now, there’s a new central place for veterans to seek help.

Next Chapter is a holistic program aimed at reducing veteran suicide rates by providing a centralized place where vets and their families can get help. The pilot veteran suicide prevention program, headed by Mt. Carmel Veterans Service Center, is funded with $1.66 million from Senate Bill 21-129 through June 30, 2025.

“We wanted to bring nonprofits together to serve our veterans,” says Ken Curtner, lead clinician at UCHealth’s Veterans Services branch. “There wasn’t a whole lot of cross talk about what we do and how we all serve our veteran population.”

Next Chapter creates an umbrella with one central point of contact for veterans in need.

Rodger Johnson, the Next Chapter program manager, talks with veterans and assesses their needs and then introduces them to the nonprofit contacts who will help them with scheduling counseling appointments, finding jobs, housing, food assistance, medication assistance, financial planning, in-home senior care, or whatever the veteran or their families may need.

“Every single person who comes through Next Chapter talks to Rodger,” Curtner says. “That way no one falls through the cracks, and they have a person they know they can contact.”

Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor candidate who recently graduated with his master’s degree and had been interning at Mt. Carmel as a counselor when the Next Chapter program was developed. He served 12 years in the Army and was deployed five times to the Middle East.

“I’ve dealt with PTSD myself,” Johnson says. “I’m dealing with PTSD myself,

I should say — dealing with things I saw in the war and the people I lost.”

Johnson dealt with suicidal ideation and sought help while still on active duty, and had a few in-patient stays to help him overcome the desperation he felt.

“I didn’t care about life,” he says, “particularly my own life.”

He worked with counselors and therapists through in-patient and outpatient programs as he prepared to exit the military.

“It was a lot of work,” he says, “a lot of talking about things I didn’t want to talk about, bringing things to the surface about what I’d seen and done in Afghanistan. It was going through the steps; I realized those things don’t have control over me. I learned coping skills.”

He also learned that he wanted to be there for his brothers and sisters in arms and to help them through those dark times the way he had been helped through them. So, he pursued a career in mental and behavioral health counseling. His current role is an ideal fit for him.

Since Next Chapter launched in June, Johnson has helped 247 El Paso County veterans find the healing services they need.

He is grateful he was able to get the help he needed, but he knows it would have been a lot tougher if he weren’t active-duty when he realized he needed help.

“Without the military, I don’t know where I would have gone,” he says.

THAT’S A COMMON PROBLEM FOR VETERANS, CURTNER says. There are many resources out there, but until now, they weren’t all coordinated.

Veterans are finding Next Chapter in all sorts of ways. Some see the TV advertisements, bus ads or hear radio ads. Others are referred by first responders, who are being educated about the program.

Part of the state funding for Next Chapter includes a massive market-

ing campaign, which was recognized for its excellence at a recent American Advertising Federation award ceremony.

“We’re doing whatever we can to get the word out,” says Lindsey Caroon, marketing director for Mt. Carmel.

She says several of the veterans who have found help through the program came to Johnson and asked if they could help get the word out. They volunteered to share their stories in television advertisements.

“They’re saying, ‘You’re in the shit — I know, I’ve been there. Here is where you can get help,’” Caroon says.

Johnson says Veterans Affairs has also been a good referral source.

“They’re booked and understaffed,” he says. “The turnaround time can be three months. We know that eight weeks might be seven weeks too long to wait.”

With help from community partners including UCHealth, Mt. Carmel and the National Alliance on Mental Illness, Next Chapter is able to get clients in to meet with a counselor within a week.

“We will get you your own private therapist,” Curtner says.

He said UCHealth has three staff therapists who are dedicated to helping veterans. They also have a network of vetted and trusted partners to whom they can make referrals. The partners are committed to prioritizing Next Chapter participants so they won’t have to wait to be seen.

“From there, there are no out-of-pocket costs,” Curtner says. “Next Chapter will cover the rest.”

Beyond having ready availability, Curtner says that all of the counselors involved in the program are uniquely qualified to work with veterans.

“Every single person on our team is a veteran or a family member of a veteran,” Curtner says. “The people we have brought in and who we have on our team understand. Most of us have been deployed in some sort of combat operation. So, we get you.”

While Next Chapter and the state funding behind it are focused primarily on mental and behavioral health, the program takes a holistic approach that goes beyond counseling.

Johnson connects the veterans who contact him to all types of services. Counseling won’t immediately solve addiction or food insecurity or the threat of homelessness. Those problems need practical and immediate attention before a veteran can focus on the mental health journey ahead, Johnson says.

Mt. Carmel can help with a lot of those services, and Johnson can make connections to other nonprofits that can help with the rest.

Next Chapter is also designed to help the families of veterans.

“The spouse is really along for the ride in a military family,” says Caroon, who is a military spouse herself. “When the troops come home, you see spouses kiss at the airport, but what happens after they get in the car and go home? There is a lot of stress in that reunification process.”

Johnson says he has heard from spouses who are dealing with their own challenges watching their partners wake screaming at night with PTSD.

As part of the state funding, military families are a priority. That’s key, Johnson says, because the veteran can’t thrive if he or she is worried about a family member.

The program also allows the veteran to define who is family.

“So, if you have a homeless veteran sharing a tent with someone and he says that’s his brother, they’re eligible,” Caroon says. “That was great foresight.”

The program is serving the children of veterans in need of play therapy all the way up to a 98-year-old World War II veteran. They all need different services and Next Chapter is nimble enough to provide individualized care plans for every veteran who calls to ask for help. They meet veterans where they are and offer whatever help they are ready to accept when they’re ready to accept it, Curtner says.

“Everyone has a passion for helping veterans,” he says. “It’s not just lip service. We really want to help our brothers and sisters in arms.”

If you or someone you know needs help, visit nextchapterco.org, email nextchapter@mtcarmelcenter.org or call 888-719-VETS (8387).

We’re doing whatever we can TO GET THE WORD OUT.

THE BRIEFING

SPRINGS NATIVE NAMED NAVY BAND’S SAILOR OF THE YEAR

Musician 1st Class Adele Demi was recently named the United States Navy Band’s 2022 Sailor of the Year. The award distinguishes the Colorado Springs native from 94 competitive peers of equal rank across the command.

Before joining the Navy, Demi earned a Bachelor of Music Education and a Master of Music in clarinet performance from the University of Northern Colorado. She joined the United States Navy Band in 2012 as a clarinet instrumentalist following the completion of basic training. In addition to her primary duty, she conducted the Ceremonial Band on NBC’s Today Show during a broadcast highlighting women in the military, lead a seven-member audition team for a national talent search that successfully filled 17 crucial billet vacancies, and served as enlisted conductor for the Concert Band on six national tours. Recognized for her leadership ability, military qualifications and technical expertise, Demi was selected for a commission as a limited duty officer on Feb. 17. She will commission as a Navy band-

master in October — becoming one of nearly 30 in the entire Navy.

HICKENLOOPER, BENNET PUSH FOR SPACE NATIONAL GUARD

U.S. Senators John Hickenlooper and Michael Bennet joined a bipartisan group of their Senate colleagues last week to introduce the Space National Guard Establishment Act. The bill would establish a Space National Guard, bringing current Air National Guard and Army National Guard members performing space-related duties within the Space Force command structure.

When the Space Force was established in 2019, active-duty service members responsible for space missions were moved out of the Air Force and placed under the authority of the Space Force. However, no corresponding change was made to ensure that National Guard members working on space also fall under Space Force authority. The proposed legislation would correct this organizational inconsistency.

According to a news release from Hickenlooper’s office, the Department of the Air Force, Space Force, and the

National Guard Bureau have already developed a plan to establish a Space National Guard, but that plan has yet to be implemented. Currently, more than 1,000 National Guard members are performing space-related duties from within the Air National Guard. However, organizational problems consistently arise now

that all other space service members fall under the Space Force. A dedicated National Guard for the Space Force would help talented active-duty Space Force personnel transition to civilian careers, ensuring they are able to continue serving their country as well as their states. continued on p. 40 ➔

This bill would also streamline funding, and allow for better implementation of the mobilization processes, inspection systems, and policies and culture of the Space Force.

NATIONAL SYMPOSIUM: MEDAL OF HONOR SPEAKERS, LASER SHOW

Medal of Honor recipients spoke with cadets and visitors from multiple service academies as part of kick-off activities at the United States Air Force Academy’s 30th Annual National Character and Leadership Symposium, which took place Feb. 22-24. Opening day activities also included a laser light show in the cadet area.

Speakers and panelists addressed the theme: “Reimagine Leadership and Inspire Teamwork.” The three-day symposium provided opportunities for service academy cadets, midshipman, faculty, and visiting college and university students “to hear diverse speakers and join group discussions in person or through an online platform,” according to an Academy-issued news release. Academy Superintendent Lt. Gen. Richard M. Clark addressed the symposium Feb. 23.

“For the last 30 years, NCLS has served as an amazing opportunity for fresh per-

WHEN YOU’RE SERIOUS ABOUT REAL ESTATE

spectives and elevated conversations about what it truly means to be a leader of character,” Clark said in the release.

NCLS speakers and panelists included Gen. Charles Q. Brown, U.S. Air Force chief of staff; Gen. B. Chance Saltzman, U.S. Space Force chief of space operations; Jared Isaacman, Polaris Dawn space mission commander; Dion Leonard, author and ultra-runner; and Jen Griswold, Boss Lady Bio founder and CEO.

SPRINGS NATIVE SERVES ON COMBAT SHIP

Colorado Springs native Chief Petty Officer Zachary Sund serves the U.S. Navy aboard one of the country’s most versatile combat ships, USS Charleston, operating out of San Diego, California.

Sund joined the Navy more than 18 years ago, after attending Doherty High School and graduating from Sterling High School.

“I joined the Navy for educational opportunities, for service and for a sense of patriotism,” he says. “I was in high school when 9/11 happened, and that sparked the interest for me to join as well.

“I grew up in a very diverse neighborhood,” Sund adds. “The Navy is a huge cultural melting pot, so having that background made it easy for me to integrate into the Navy.”

Charleston is an Independence-vari ant littoral combat ship — a fast, opti mally-manned, mission-tailored surface combatant that operates in near-shore and open-ocean environments, accord ing to Navy officials. Littoral combat ships integrate with joint, combined, manned and unmanned teams to sup port forward-presence, maritime secu rity, sea control, and deterrence mis sions around the globe.

Littoral combat ships lead mannedunmanned teams using unmanned aerial systems like the Fire Scout and Expeditionary Ordnance Dis posal forces unmanned under water vehicles. They conduct forward and maritime security missions, and also strengthen partnerships through port visits in small island nations like Tahiti and Fiji due to their shallow-depth hull.

According to Navy officials, the path to becoming an LCS sailor is unique and challenging. At the culmination of their intense and realistic 18-month training pipeline, sailors qualify on a virtual reality simulator that is nearly identical to the ship, so they can execute their roles and responsibilities immediate ly upon stepping on board.

THE BOTTOMLESS SINKHOLE

PEOPLE ARE BAFFLED BY the surreal saga of George Santos, the bizarre Republican Congress critter who is a bottomless sinkhole of lies. How could he think that he, a highly visible public figure, could get away with such blatant fabrications?

Perhaps he thought he was a corporation.

After all, these multibillion-dollar brand-name outfits routinely lie about who they really are. Crass polluters shamelessly run PR campaigns claiming to be environmentalists, price gougers pose as consumer champions, and economic downsizers glorify themselves as visionary creators. They gild their résumés for their own profit… and they get away with it. So George might’ve thought: I’ll follow the corporate model — just make stuff up.

Like soulless tobacco executives do. For decades, they killed millions of people for profit, flat-out lying that nicotine was not addictive, that their cancersticks were not deadly, and that they did not target their ads to children in order to hook them early. But wait — today’s tobacco titans claim to be born-again public health champions! “We have an unprecedented opportunity to move beyond smoking,” said the head honcho of the Philip Morris brand, asserting that Big Tobacco would henceforth back the public push for a “smoke-free future.”

Philip Morris garnered widespread praise for this bold stand. But it was a deliberate lie. Even as the executive’s lips moved, the tobacco giants were spending billions on lobbyists and PR campaigns to gut state and national proposals to prevent addiction and actually lead to a smoke-free future.

AND THEN THERE’S BIG OIL.

We’re used to corporate powers using lies as a core element of their business strategy — their secret perversions of facts to hide the deadly harms they and their products cause, all pushed by top executives and elite investors in cynical efforts to keep profiteering at the expense of customers and society at large. Pharmaceutical price-gougers, Wall Street bankers, gun makers and

pesticide peddlers are notorious examples — but none can top the perfidy and raw greed of Big Oil.

For example, a new report reveals that Exxon’s executives not only were aware that their petro-products might soon lead to catastrophic climate change, but their own scientific analysts had proven it beyond a doubt — and told them so in 1977! Indeed, Exxon’s internal findings turn out to have been much more accurate and damning than the warnings issued by government scientists and officials.

So, did Exxon’s executive hierarchy meet the scientific and ethical challenge presented to them? No. They simply lied to everyone — Congress, the media, the people. In 1999, ExxonMobil CEO Lee Raymond tried to BS his way past the truth, snorting that global warming projections “are based on completely unproven climate models, or more often, on sheer speculation.” Exxon’s contemptible dishonesty continues to pour out of corporate headquarters today. Asked recently if Exxon has misled the public about looming climate danger from its fossil fuel profiteering, current CEO Darren Woods proclaimed that the corporation’s previous lies were “entirely consistent” with the scientific consensus of the time.

Obviously, that’s another flagrant lie, which is entirely consistent with the corporation’s profiteering model. And don’t forget, CEOs are lavishly paid liars — Woods pockets $23 million a year to prevaricate for profit.

Yes, we should be outraged that Santos, a flagrant political fake, has swindled his way into Congress, and he should be ousted. But what will Congress do about the far more destructive corporate deceivers who are George Santos’ role models? Their lies kill people, yet they’re still welcome in the halls of Congress.

Big picture: GUEST EDITORIAL

By Dr. Ahriana Platten

CHURCHES CAN SHINE

THERE’S A PROVERB THAT SUGGESTS one bad apple spoils the barrel. It’s certain that when one church comes into question — all churches are affected.

Few people understand the big picture when it comes to the contributions of organized religion in our country. As an ordained minister and former church leader, I’m aware of the many ways churches make a difference economically and socially.

Here are a few examples. Churches conduct prison ministry that addresses recidivism. They host AA meetings to address addictions. They collect and donate tons (literally) of food to address food security issues. Churches offer free or reduced-price counseling to address mental and emotional health, and often aid families with housing needs. The list goes on (and on). How do you put a price tag on the person who doesn’t commit suicide because a spiritual leader answered the phone in the middle of the night, picked the person up and took them to the hospital for help? How do you quantify the value to society when a clergy member coaches a couple through marital troubles and helps keep a family intact, thereby supporting children who always do better when they

have family stability? What’s it worth when a minister or person of the cloth appears on-site at a crisis such as the November mass shooting tragedy at Club Q, and prays with the grieving for days and weeks afterward?

In both tangible and intangible ways, churches and spiritual leaders contribute to the welfare of a community. Tangibly, they employ thousands in our city, purchase supplies locally, and contract with local vendors.

In their 2016 analysis, published in the Interdisciplinary Journal of Research on Religion, Brian and Melissa Grim calculated that faith-based organizations contributed $378 billion annually to the U.S. economy, including funding for health care, food, education, media, charities and congregational activities.

When one large church falls into question, public opinion about all churches is impacted. Sixty35’s Feb. 23 story about Church For All Nations is well researched and worthy of public interest. It’s excellent reporting. I wish the Board or the leadership of Church For All Nations had chosen to respond to Senior Reporter

Pam Zubeck’s many efforts to interview them, and had answered the questions that naturally arise when a story like this breaks. They didn’t. I also wish this story didn’t color public opinion about every other church. It does.

Our city is full of dedicated spiritual leaders of character who improve life for hundreds of people every week. It’s full of congregations whose social action and social justice activities change the face of the Pikes Peak region. I dare say the number of religious organizations making Colorado Springs a better place to live far exceeds those whose activities are questionable. So — before we throw away any of the good apples, I’d like to suggest we consider the contributions made by a majority of our local religious organizations and give them a little grace.

A good apple is one of life’s great pleasures.

Dr. Ahriana Platten currently serves as interim co-publisher for Sixty35 Media.

Churches make a difference ECONOMICALLY AND SOCIALLY.

Rejecting Educational CREDENTIALISM

DO WE HAVE AN OFFICIAL national religion? No. Do we have a shared sense of values and beliefs? Not too many, in this era of angry political division. Yet consider the power of our de facto national religion: Educational Credentialism.

The EC faithful believe that without higher education, you can look forward to crappy jobs, basement apartments, thrift store clothing and poverty in old age. Don’t be tempted by the post-high school lure of freedom. Go to college, run up tens of thousands in student debt, go to grad school and bingo! a rewarding, lucrative career awaits, you’ll enjoy challenging work, great travel opportunities and plenty of money to pay off those student loans… right?

Maybe not. After listening to a couple of 22-year-old college dropouts who were kind enough to spend a few days with their aging grandparents, we saw the other side of the coin.

“I decided that I had the skills I needed to be entrepreneurial, make a decent amount of money and not be burdened by student debt,” said our granddaughter Hannah. She had dropped out after three semesters. As one of six kids, she was used to hard work, collaborative effort and the unpredictable chaos of daily life in a big family. She went to work for Cutco, a 72-year-old direct sales/marketing company that offers American-made cutlery. To succeed in such an enterprise, you’ve got to get out and sell. She did, and loved it, moving quickly into management.

I was a little doubtful, remembering Glengarry Glen Ross, the 1992 movie about four real estate hustlers trying to sell some dubious real estate. Sales skills are fine, but don’t you need education to back it up in case your company goes belly-up? She was skeptical, sharing her experiences at a Midwestern state university.

“You were expected to join a sorority, do a lot of drinking and partying, decide on a major and stick with it,” she said. “After a year and a half, I decided that I wasn’t learning anything of value and that I was miserable. So I left, and I’ve never regretted it.”

It’s not news that elite colleges like Harvard, Yale, Wesleyan and Colorado College are under political fire from the right. That’s understandable — they’re rich, snooty, powerful, extremely expensive and left-leaning. What seems new now is that many would-be students like Hannah and her boyfriend Jared think that most college education has become irrelevant.

“Anything you need to learn is online now,” Jared noted. “It’s such a waste of time to listen to some tenured professor talk for hours when you could learn it yourself in a lot less time.”

Jared also works for Cutco. The couple

plan to get married in the near future, and have made enough money to buy a house in Minneapolis, where they’ll rent out rooms to contemporaries.

“It’ll be great,” he said. “The house will be paying us, we don’t have any debt hanging over our heads and there’ll be other opportunities.”

Are Hannah and Jared outliers or signifiers? If college loses its cultural cachet, and is seen as an expensive waste of time, what will happen to the grandees at the University of Colorado Boulder? They’ll have to retool and expand their offerings of job-specific undergraduate degrees such as computer science and aeronautical engineering. Football will survive, but what about expensive niche sports? Universities everywhere are beginning to cut them.

Given that education is such an important contributor to our local economy, it seems inconceivable that UCCS and Pikes Peak State College could just disappear, leaving only shuttered buildings and semi-employed professors teaching remotely — a permanent educational pandemic.

Yet our city has seen businesses grow, prosper, dominate and then collapse, as their business models became irrelevant. Economist Joseph Schumpeter called it “creative destruction,” the fundamental process of capitalism. There were once dozens of tuberculosis sanitaria in Colorado Springs but modern medicine eventually ended TB’s scourge by the mid-20th century. The grandest sanitarium was Cragmor, which in 1964 became the first building on the UCCS campus. Today UCCS has more than 12,000 full-time students. The state provides very little funding (Colorado is 47th statewide in higher ed. support). Will it be swept away by a new wave of creative destruction, triggered by rising costs and skeptical students?

I dunno — but I hope Jared and Hannah do well! We might need a little help paying for a nice room in the retirement home.

Don’t be tempted by the post-high school lure of freedom.

THE WAKE-UP CALL GOP ignores

WHEN COLORADO

Democrats called a news conference to lay out their four-pronged gun-safety legislative package — which notably did not include a ban on so-called assault weapons (more on that later) — the only surprise came when a fire alarm twice interrupted the presentation. Was it a system malfunction? That’s the official and probably most likely explanation.

Was it meant as a message from the gun-rights community? That’s the conspiracy explanation, which, I guess, could be true. I mean, I definitely wouldn’t put a fake alarm past the noxious Rocky Mountain Gun Owners team. Or could it be interpreted as a serendipitous wake-up call? Maybe. But if it was — and if it’s Republicans who need awakening on this issue, which they do — the alarms clearly had no impact.

With overwhelming Democratic majorities in both houses of the Legislature and with the governor’s support for all four bills, there’s no question that they’ll be passed into law. Just as there was no question that Republicans, meanwhile, would promise to do whatever they could to make the bills’ journey as difficult as possible.

Once upon a time, they could have. You may remember 2013 and the recalls. Now, though, it will be an exercise in futility — you may also remember Colorado Republicans made the same mistake last year when the Legislature went about codifying abortion rights — but it’s more than that.

It tells us — once again — just how out of touch the Republican Party is in Colorado with the voters and how far they are from making any kind of electoral comeback in the state.

All it takes to understand the situa tion is an ability to read polls.

Coloradans overwhelmingly favor tougher gun-safety laws. In this package, one bill tough ens the red flag law by expand ing those eligible to initiate an extreme risk protection order to include teachers, health care providers and district attorneys. Another would make it easier to sue gun manufacturers and sellers, who now enjoy special protection from lawsuits. Another would raise the age of buying or possessing a rifle or a shotgun — with obvious excep tions for military, police and, of course, hunters — to 21, the same age required for handguns. And one would require a three-day waiting period between purchasing a gun and taking posses sion of it.

IT’S

NOT THAT WE SHOULDN’T

expect Republicans to oppose gun laws. It’s what they do. It’s a key part of their national platform, or was, at least, back when national Republicans had plat forms. But by turning the noise up to 11, the Colorado GOP will simply reinforce the fact that most voters don’t agree with them.

And if the noise goes up to 11 over the next few weeks, what happens when/if Democrats do introduce a bill to ban the sale of certain assault-style weapons later in the ses sion? The reason Democrats are hesitating is not because of polls, although a ban on sales would be a tough vote for many Democrats in the Legislature.

Courtesy Jared Polis

Gov. Jared Polis presides over a “bright blue state” where a majority of voters support abortion rights and tougher gun-safety laws.

There’s no bill yet because the proposed bill’s backers haven’t found a formula to which Gov. Jared Polis will agree.

But look, we saw what happened to Republicans in Colorado in last November’s midterms — a monumental, historically humiliating defeat, one that basically removed any doubt that Colorado is now a bright blue state. As I may have mentioned before, the only purple left in the state is the purple mountain majesties.

And among the reasons that the expected national red wave didn’t happen is that most Americans — and certainly most Coloradans — opposed the overturning of Roe v. Wade and believe abortion should be legal in all or most cases.

Again, it’s not as if Republicans don’t have a fixed abortion stance. But the louder the noise, particularly after having just won Roe v. Wade, the more the state GOP reminds voters that on this critical issue, they were, once again, on the wrong side.

If it were just guns and abortion — both longtime GOP rallying points — that would be one thing. It’s not just one thing or two. It’s closer to, uh, everything. And yet, for the six candidates running to be new chair of the Colorado GOP, the

lesson of the 2020 and 2022 wipeout elections is that there was no lesson.

After one relatively moderate candidate dropped out, that left the field in the race for GOP chair entirely to Trumpists and election deniers. As (once) influential GOP operative and former GOP state chair Dick Wadhams put it to Colorado Politics, “All six of these candidates are disasters, every one of them. It’s just going to be a wasteland at the Colorado Republican Party for the next two years.”

How bad can a wasteland get? More from Wadhams: “They all believe the 2020 election was stolen from Trump, and they all want to go back to election day balloting, to get rid of mail elections. It defines the party as crazy right up front, and that’s what a lot of these unaffiliateds think about Republicans anyway.”

Speaking of unaffiliated voters, all six GOP state chair candidates — and, yes, Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters is among them, although, as far as I know, the only one currently indicted for violating election law — want to change the party rules so that Colorado’s unaffiliated voters, who make up nearly half the electorate, can no longer participate in GOP primaries.

It’s no wonder the party is in such bad shape. It’s no wonder that in the last election, Polis won his race by 19 points, Sen. Michael Bennet by 15 and Democrats won every statewide office. At this point, you’d think the Colorado GOP could hear nothing but alarm bells ringing.

Free Will ASTROLOGY

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20): Piscean author and activist W.E.B. Dubois advised us to always be willing to give up what we are. Why? Because that’s how we transform into a deeper and stronger version of ourselves. My reading of the astrological omens tells me that you are primed to add through subtraction, to gain power by shed-

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In 1993, I began work on my memoirish novel The Televisionary Oracle. It took me seven years to finish. The early part of the process was tough. I generated a lot of material I didn’t like. Then one day, I discovered an approach that liberated me: I wrote about aspects of my character and behavior that needed improvement. Suddenly everything clicked, and my fruitless adventure transformed into a fluidic joy. Soon I was writing about other themes and experiences. But dealing with selfcorrection was a key catalyst. Are there any such qualities in yourself you might benefit from tackling, Aries? If so, I recommend you try my approach.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Two Taurus readers complained that my horoscopes contain too much poetry and flair to be useful. In response, I’m offering you a prosaic message. It’s all true, though in a way that’s more like a typical horoscope. (I wonder if this approach will spur your emotional intelligence and your soul’s lust for life, which are crucial areas of growth for you these days.) Anyway, here’s the oracle: Take a risk and extend feelers to interesting people outside your usual sphere. But don’t let your social adventures distract you from your ambitions, which also need your wise attention. Your complex task: Mix work and play; synergize business and pleasure.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Astrologer Jessica Shepherd advises us to sidle up to the Infinite Source of Life and say, “Show me what you’ve got.” When we do, we often get lucky. That’s because the Infinite Source of Life delights in bringing us captivating paradoxes. Yes and no may both be true in enchanting ways. Independence and interdependence can interweave to provide us with brisk teachings. If we dare to experiment with organized wildness and aggressive receptivity, our awareness will expand, and our heart will open. What about it, Gemini? Are you interested in the charming power that comes from engaging with cosmic contradictions? Now’s a favorable time to do so. Go ahead and say, “Show me what you’ve got” to the Infinite Source of Life.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “Only a lunatic would dance when sober,” declared the ancient Roman philosopher Cicero. As a musician who loves to dance, I reject that limiting idea — especially for you. In the upcoming weeks, I hope you will do a lot of dancing-while-sober. Singing-while-sober, too. Maybe some crying-for-joy-while-sober, as well as

ding what has become outworn and irrelevant. Suggested step one: Identify dispiriting self-images you can jettison.

Step two: Visualize a familiar burden you could live without. Step three: Drop an activity that bores you. Step four: Stop doing something that wastes your time.

freewheeling-your-way-through-unpredictable-conversations-while-sober and cavorting-and-reveling-while-sober. My point is that there is no need for you to be intoxicated as you engage in revelry. Even further: It will be better for your soul’s longterm health if you are lucid and clearheaded as you celebrate this liberating phase of extra joy and pleasure.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Poet Mary Oliver wondered whether the soul is solid and unbreakable, like an iron bar. Or is it tender and fragile, like a moth in an owl’s beak? She fantasized that maybe it’s shaped like an iceberg or a hummingbird’s eye. I am poetically inclined to imagine the soul as a silver diadem bedecked with emeralds, roses, and live butterflies. What about you, Leo? How do you experience your soul? The coming weeks will be a ripe time to home in on this treasured part of you. Feel it, consult with it, feed it. Ask it to surprise you!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): According to the color consultant company Pantone, Viva Magenta is 2023’s color of the year. According to me, Viva Magenta is the lucky hue and power pigment for you Virgos during the next 10 months. Designer Amber Guyton says that Viva Magenta “is a rich shade of red that is both daring and warm.” She adds that its “purple undertone gives it a warmth that sets it apart from mere red and makes it more versatile.” For your purposes, Virgo, Viva Magenta is earthy and exciting; nurturing and inspiring; soothing yet arousing. The coming weeks will be a good time to get the hang of incorporating its spirit into your life.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If you are not working to forge a gritty solution, you may be reinforcing a cozy predicament. If you’re not expanding your imagination to conjure up fresh perspectives, you could be contributing to some ignorance or repression. If you’re not pushing to expose dodgy secrets and secret agendas, you might be supporting the whitewash. Know what I’m saying, Libra? Here’s a further twist. If you’re not peeved about the times you have wielded your anger unproductively, you may not use it brilliantly in the near future. And I really hope you will use it brilliantly.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Storyteller Martin Shaw believes that logic and factual information are not enough to sustain us. To nourish our depths, we need the mysterious stories provided by myths and fairy tales. He also says that conven-

tional hero sagas starring big, strong, violent men are outmoded. Going forward, we require wily, lyrical tales imbued with the spirit of the Greek word metis, meaning “divine cunning in service to wisdom.” That’s what I wish for you now, Scorpio. I hope you will tap into it abundantly. As you do, your creative struggles will lead to personal liberations. For inspiration, read myths and fairy tales.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Many astrologers don’t give enough encouragement to you Sagittarians on the subject of home. I will compensate for that. I believe it’s a perfect time to prioritize your feelings of belonging and your sense of security. I urge you to focus energy on creating serenity and stability for yourself. Honor the buildings and lands you rely on. Give extra appreciation to the people you regard as your family and tribe. Offer blessings to the community that supports you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If you are like 95 percent of the population, you weren’t given all the love and care you needed as a child. You may have made adaptations to partly compensate for this lack, but you are still running a deficit. That’s the bad news, Capricorn. The good news is that the coming weeks will be a favorable time to overcome at least some of the hurt and sadness caused by your original deprivation. Life will offer you experiences that make you feel more at home in the world and at peace with your destiny and in love with your body. Please help life help you! Make yourself receptive to kindness and charity and generosity.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The philosopher Aldous Huxley was ambitious and driven. Author of almost 50 books, he was a passionate pacifist and explorer of consciousness. He was a visionary who expressed both dystopian and utopian perspectives. Later in his life, though, his views softened. “Do not burn yourselves out,” he advised readers. “Be as I am: a part-time crusader, a half-hearted fanatic. Save the other half of yourselves for pleasure and adventure. It is not enough to fight for the land; it is even more important to enjoy it.” Now I’m offering you Huxley’s counsel, Aquarius. As much as I love your zealous idealism and majestic quests, I hope that in the coming weeks, you will recharge yourself with creature comforts.

Farm Bill could field regulations for growth of cannabis derivatives

BY JEANNE DAVANT | jdavant@sixty35media.org

WITH THE SAFE BANKING ACT and other cannabis legislation stalled in Congress, cannabis reform advocates are looking to the Farm Bill as a possible avenue for cannabis reform.

The 2018 Farm Bill that legalized hemp production is up for renewal this session, and it’s high on lawmakers’ lists because its passage unwittingly unleashed a monster — a boom in products containing intoxicating cannabinoids like Delta-8 and Delta-9 THC, according to a Feb. 21 report at MJBizDaily.com.

Delta-8 and Delta-9 are forms of THC. Along with CBD, they’re derivatives of the hemp plant. But unlike nonintoxicating CBD, Delta-8 and Delta-9 can produce effects similar to a marijuana high, including euphoria, altered perception and relaxation, as well as side effects including anxiety, increased heart rate, red eyes and slowed reaction time. Overdoses can pose health risks and have sent people to hospital emergency rooms.

Delta-8 and Delta-9 products are illegal in Colorado under a Marijuana Enforcement Division rule that bans “chemically modifying or converting any naturally-occurring cannabinoids from industrial hemp. … This includes any process that converts an industrial hemp cannabinoid, such as CBD isolate, into delta-9, delta-8, delta-10-THC, or other tetrahydrocannabinol isomers or functional analogs.”

But these products are readily available online throughout the nation, and ambitious chemists are coming up with even more hemp-derived compounds.

A growing public outcry about edibles and tinctures containing intoxicating cannabinoids has lawmakers concerned, and the Farm Bill could provide an opportunity to curb the availability of these products.

But it also could be a path forward for cannabis reform measures that include the SAFE Banking Act and regulation of the CBD industry, which also developed after passage of the 2018 Farm Bill.

Although the 2018 bill doesn’t expire until September, discussions about updating its provisions already are underway.

Hemp producers are lobbying for an increase in the permissible content of THC in hemp products, which currently stands at 0.3 percent, before they are considered marijuana. According to the MJBizDaily report, they’re seeking an increase in the limit to 1 percent.

The Farm Bill is a sweeping piece of legislation that also regulates subsidies to farmers and the SNAP food assistance program.

But cannabis producers and vendors are hoping that the new version will provide clarity on which cannabinoid-containing products are permissible in the marketplace and how they must be labeled.

420 on 4/20

The Mile High 420 Fest will return on Thursday, April 20, to Denver’s Civic Center Park, but unlike in previous years, the festival will strictly enforce an age limitation and won’t admit cannabis lovers younger than 21.

The event celebrates the unofficial stoner holiday, which many associate with the anniversary of pot legalization in Colorado.

But according to TIME magazine, the 420 reference has deeper and older roots.

Several origin stories about 420 have been advanced over the years, but a TIME report published April 19, 2022, tracks the most credible story to Marin County, California’s San Rafael High School.

According to TIME’s account, five students at the

school would meet at 4:20 p.m. near a campus statue of chemist Louis Pasteur to smoke weed. They chose that time because people participating in extracurricular activities usually had cleared out by then.

Dave Reddix, one of the fearless five, who did their toking in defiance of much tougher enforcement in those days, told TIME in 2017 that the group used “420” as code for marijuana.

Reddix later worked as a roadie for the Grateful Dead, and the band helped popularize “420” as a reference to pot in the Bay Area.

In 1990, TIME reports, a group of Deadheads in Oakland printed up flyers that promoted a 420 smoke-in at 4:20 p.m. on April 20. One of the flyers made its way to High Times magazine, which printed it in 1991. The magazine continued to use the number and credited the Marin County high schoolers with inventing the term.

This year’s Mile High 420 Fest, which organizers claim is the biggest event of its kind in the world, will feature musical performances, food trucks, vendors, “experiential activations,” a Cannabis Community Experience Expo for dispensaries and vendors, and a communal smoke at 4:20 p.m., according to the event’s website, milehigh420fest. com. (Festival-goers should be aware that Denver police and city officials frown on public cannabis smoking.)

General admission is free, but attendees will need to get a ticket through Eventbrite and show it at the gates. VIP tickets, available for $175, include a specialty viewing area, private entrance, a private cocktail bar and two free drinks, sponsor gifts, air conditioned restrooms and exclusive entry to the Cannabis Community Experience Expo at the McNichols Civic Center Building.

Weird science

People who suffer from chronic constipation now have a high-tech treatment option: a vibrating pill that stimulates the colon, CNN reported. The Vibrant capsule, prescribed by a doctor, is taken at bedtime and reaches the large intestine about 14 hours later. Vibrations cause the gut to contract, moving food along. Eventually, the capsule is eliminated and makes its way to a sewage treatment plant, where it’s sifted out and sent to a landfill. Dr. Eamonn Quigley of Houston Methodist Hospital helped test the new technology. He said most people couldn’t feel it working. “A minority could feel it. None of them felt it was being uncomfortable.” But we’re uncomfortable just reading this.

Creative weaponry

Christopher Gaddis, 41, was holding a cat in his arms when he was approached by Metro Nashville Police officers on Feb. 8, WSMV-TV reported. Gaddis had two outstanding warrants, and officers were trying to arrest him when he shoved the cat into the face of one of them, leaving several cuts on the officer’s hands. Gaddis also kicked the officer. After being treated for his own injuries from the cat, Gaddis was charged with resisting arrest and assaulting an officer.

It’s come to this

In what prosecutor Owen Beale called

an “organized criminal matter,” Joby Pool, 32, pleaded guilty to theft and criminal damage in Kidderminster, England, magistrates court, ian reported. His crime? Pool broke into a warehouse on Feb. 11 and towed away a trailer with about 200,000 Cad bury Creme Eggs, valued at about $37,000. He didn’t get very far; when police stopped him, he “walked toward [them] with his hands up.” “This clear ly wasn’t spur-of-the-moment offend ing,” Beale said. “You don’t just happen to learn about a trailer with that kind of value being available.” The “Easter bunny,” as police dubbed him, will be sentenced in March to about two years in jail.

Bright idea

In the Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia, one gas station is employ ing a dramatic tactic to try to keep people experiencing homelessness away: blasting opera music over its outdoor speakers. WPVI-TV reported that neighbors aren’t fans: “I heard all this music, I couldn’t tell where it was coming from. Loud, it was unbelievable that time of night,” said Clinton Barnes, who lives close by. “I don’t think it’s a deterrent,” said Karen Clark. “They have to find something else.” One neighbor said it was as loud as if someone had “cranked the volume all the way up” on the TV inside their home. Gas station employees refused to comment.

IT’S ABOUT TIME! JAPANESE GARMENT COMPANY TAKIKOU HAS developed a wearable bean bag, Oddity Central reported. “This concept was born out of the idea of a cushion that would allow you to totally let go, anytime, anywhere,” said the company’s Shogo Takikawa. “You can put this on and chill out in your living room or loads of other places.” The bean bag is available in different sizes and colors, but it does weigh about 11 pounds (which might make you want to sit down more often). Prices range from $60 to $119.
