Police department carries familiar challenges into new year By Bryan Grossman

f you ask the mayor, the city’s stormwater infrastructure issues and its understaffed police force are inextricably linked. Mayor John Suthers said the Colorado Springs Police Department, while highly educated and well-qualified, is facing sizable financial stresses. Those, he said, can be attributed largely to the funds diverted for stormwater mitigation — and litigation. “I do have concern about the level of overall [police] staffing,” Suthers told the Business Journal, adding the department employs about 14 officers for every 10,000 residents. He’d like to see that number closer to 17. “Aurora would be at about 17 or 18 [officers per 10,000 residents] and Denver is at about 21 or 22,” he said. “While they have higher rates of crime, I think we are pretty thin. I would hope that we would be able to increase the staffing of the police department over the next several years.” The mayor said, however, that the extent to which that can be done “has a lot to do with our ability to resolve stormwater funding issues.”

Colorado Springs voters elected in 2009 to do away with a dedicated revenue stream for stormwater infrastructure and programming, something “virtually every large city in America” has, the mayor said. He hopes voters will, in the April municipal election, allow the city to work around Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights regulations in order to keep excess revenue to pay for those projects and free up general fund dollars for public safety. Mitigation inaction led the Environmental Protection Agency to sue the city late last year, seeking Clean Water Act compliance, the fines could reach millions of dollars. While that suit is still not settled, the city reached an agreement with Pueblo to spend $460 million during the next 20 years on stormwater projects and maintenance from the general fund and Colorado Springs Utilities. “We need a long-term … revenue stream to free up general fund money currently going to stormwater,” Suthers said. “In turn, that will allow us to structure a several-year police staffing program.” Already facing lagging response times, See Police page 13

City unveils North Nevada redevelopment plans By Cameron Moix

olorado Springs is one step closer to redeveloping a segment of the North Nevada Avenue corridor that has long been seen as a struggling transition between the city’s thriving north and its bustling downtown. The city unveiled the draft of the North Nevada Avenue Plan during an open house Tuesday evening at the Mortgage Solutions Financial Expo Center at 3650 N. Nevada Ave., which lies near the center of the project area that spans from Fillmore Street to Garden of the Gods Road. The event was the last in a series of workshops and forums at which the city sought public input from area residents and business owners about their hopes for the area. “Since July 2016, the city of Colorado Springs has been conducting a community involvement process to create a plan that will result in continued investment in the North Nevada Avenue corridor,” said Krithika Prashant, senior communications specialist for Colorado Springs in a recent release. “Community round tables, an online survey and a series of four

community workshops have generated the involvement of over 825 residents.” The draft details the city’s recommendations for overlay zoning and highlights opportunities for investment by interested developers. The end goal, according to project officials, is to revitalize the 2.5-mile zone between the city’s Old North End neighborhood and the North Nevada Corridor Urban Renewal Area, which includes University Village Colorado, a major shopping center across the street from UCCS. “We’re trying to develop a community-driven plan that identifies a way to redevelop the area in a way that the community wants,” said project manager Nina Vetter. “I think that’s huge.” Vetter said the area currently has little to no infrastructure to support safe and effective transportation. One of the primary objectives of the plan is to change that by investing in better roads, street-scaping, new trail connections and public transit. “It’s not walkable, it’s not bike-able and there are a lot of traffic issues,” she said. “So it has its challenges, but it is in a great area with a great corridor and there are a lot of great things we could do here.” 6

If the city purchases the old Burlington, Northern and Santa Fe Railway right-of-way that runs along North Nevada Avenue between Jackson and Lee Streets (a bid was placed months ago), Vetter said the track could also fit into the equation and become an additional thoroughfare for multi-modal transit. (See story about trolleys on North Nevada, page 9.) “We’re making a commitment to transportation and infrastructure in the area,” she said. The groundwork for the plan was laid by a commissioned market analysis of the area that came after then-Mayor Steve Bach designated the area as an Economic Opportunity Zone. The analysis recommended creating a master plan and creating opportunities for hotels, a pocket park and residential developments along the corridor. Vetter said now is the most opportune time to act on those findings, because of the recent creation of the National Cybersecurity Center, the rapid growth of UCCS to the immediate north of the project area and the overall health of the local economy. “We’re trying to encourage the market to be redevelSee Nevada page 18

IN OUR OPINION

CSBJ welcomes Pueblo subscribers The issue: Regional cooperation is vital to regional success. What we think: The Business Journal believes that a regional approach will bring success to all the cities in Southern Colorado. When assets are used collaboratively, the business community can more effectively address weaknesses.

Tell us what you think: Send us an email at editorial@csbj.com.

his week, the Business Journal goes regional — welcoming hundreds of new subscribers in Pueblo, members of Pueblo Chamber of Commerce and the Pueblo Economic Development Corp. Some people might believe that it’s unnecessary to cover both Pueblo and Colorado Springs, but in a global economy, it’s important to understand that we must act as a region, with the ability to combine the assets of two large Southern Colorado cities to create an economic powerhouse. This newspaper’s mission in both cities remains the same: to be the premier business resource for small and large businesses, nonprofits and tourism groups, and to act as a catalyst for positive change in the region. For both, we want to tell business success stories, celebrate the business community and shed light on problems that can be fixed. Pueblo has business stories that are ignored by TV news coverage, which tends to focus on crime and poverty in the Steel City. Ours isn’t the first partnership with Pueblo. Colorado Springs Utilities entered into a relationship that is vital to manage growth in Colorado Springs: the Southern Delivery System. The pipeline that brings water from Pueblo Reservoir to Colorado Springs is a vital link to continued development in the Springs. And though the relationship has sometimes been rocky, Mayor John Suthers has worked closely with

Pueblo to resolve issues related to stormwater that previous administrations ignored. Pueblo has long been a manufacturing city, and partnerships between Pikes Peak Community College and Pueblo’s manufacturers have helped to define a new workforce. The Colorado Advanced Manufacturing Alliance-South includes businesses in both cities, and the group is working to find solutions to workforce shortages that will work for manufacturers throughout Southern Colorado. Penrose-St. Francis CEO Margaret Sabin also oversees St. Mary Corwin, the hospital in Pueblo. The Better Business Bureau has strong ties with Pueblo, working to certify businesses. The BBB also holds its awards of excellence in customer service in Pueblo. Our goal is to create stronger ties overall. We want to discover ways the two business communities are similar, describe their differences, detail their accomplishments and point out where they fall short. We hope to aid in forging partnerships that strengthen the economies in both cities. Connecting Colorado Springs and Pueblo — along with other cities in the region, like Woodland Park, Monument, Green Mountain Falls and Fountain — could create a combined economy that will rival that of northern Colorado. Once a month, the Business Journal will feature a Pueblo section in the newspaper, highlighting Pueblo CEOs to create stronger connections with Colorado Springs leaders. We’ll tell you about their business successes and what they are doing to aid small businesses, and we’ll bring you tales of Pueblo entrepreneurs and young professionals. We’ll also feature Pueblo business events in On the Horizon, bring you business briefs from the Steel City and highlight health care, real estate and aerospace developments. The CSBJ is going regional because we believe it is the best way to assure economic prosperity in future years for the region. We encourage the Colorado Springs business community to strengthen ties with Pueblo as well. After all, the rising tide that is Southern Colorado’s economy can lift boats in Pueblo’s economy — and help businesses in Colorado Springs. CSBJ n

Paths converge in Pueblo, Springs

rowing up in Colorado Springs in the 1940s and 1950s, Pueblo seemed as exotic and remote as Detroit or Dallas. Denver was cool and alluring, with museums, Broadway shows and fashionable stores, while Pueblo was a tough industrial city. In those days, public high schools didn’t field soccer and lacrosse teams — those were effete sports, fit only for Europeans and Canadians. Basketball? Skinny sissies running around in their underwear! If you wanted respect at Colorado Springs High School you played football, but there was a catch. Sooner or later, you’d have to play Pueblo Central or Pueblo Centennial, teams as tough and gritty as the city they represented. We had some tough guys and some championship teams at Colorado Springs High School in the 1950s, but we weren’t wall-to-wall tough like the Pueblo kids. So like a sensible kid, I didn’t play football. Colorado Springs was a poky little tourist town then — one very much in the shadow of its broad-shouldered neighbor. Pueblo was bigger (63,685 vs. 45,472 in 1950), more diverse and somehow more American. They had steel mills, railroad yards and a river, while we had The Broadmoor hotel, idle rich people and a muddy creek. The two cities grew rapidly between 1950 and 1960, but Pueblo stayed ahead, 91,181 to 70,194. It looked as if both would flourish in the coming decades. It was already clear that Colorado Springs and similar cities in the West and Southwest would attract migrants from the frosty Midwest, and it was reasonable to assume that Pueblo’s manufacturing and transportation-based economy would remain vital. After all, American manufacturing led the world — and always would. Snotty kids in Colorado Springs could call Pueblo “Pewtown” because of acrid emissions from the blast furnaces of Colorado Fuel and Iron, but so what? America would always need steel, and railroads would always knit the country together. And unlike Colorado Springs, Pueblo was a welcoming place, one where immigrants could find jobs, where factories could take root, where literally dozens of ethnic communities established churches and social clubs. At one point in the early 20th century, more than two-dozen foreign language newspapers were published in Pueblo. The city was all about business and commerce, about change and adventure, about America itself. But America was changing.

To the migrants who would populate Colorado Springs, Tucson, Phoenix and southern California, Pueblo was an outlier, a city that reminded them of the grimy industrial metropolises they fled. HAZLEHURST Steel, once the bulwark of American manufacturing, began its long decline. Pueblo’s economy stagnated and then crashed in 1982. Colorado Springs prospered, thanks to high-tech manufacturing and a huge military presence. The cities paths diverged, and Colorado Springs politicians seemed to believe that the interests of its southern neighbor were of no importance. But the proud city of Pueblo lifted itself up from ruin and forged a new identity. The Historic Arkansas River Project transformed the city’s downtown, and Pueblo leaders forcefully engaged Colorado Springs over its careless stormwater management practices. Led by newly elected Mayor John Suthers, Colorado Springs agreed to invest $460 million during the next 20 years to mitigate flooding problems along the Arkansas. For the first time since the mid-1950s, Colorado Springs and Pueblo are on parallel paths again. Their economies are strong, real estate values are increasing, and regional cooperation is on the upswing. Compared to Colorado Springs, Pueblo is unhurried, less congested and offers all the attractions of a small city. And despite two catastrophic floods in the 20th century, Pueblo’s downtown is intact and vibrant. Attracted by the city’s diversity, affordability and lively arts community, Millennial entrepreneurs are carving out spaces in the Steel City. Talking to Pueblo architect Gary Anzuini, I asked him why he had left Colorado Springs for Pueblo. “I was down in Pueblo one day, and I looked in the yellow pages — remember them?” he said with a smile. “There was only one architect listed in Pueblo, and there were 45 in Colorado Springs. So I figured I could make a pretty good living down here, and I was right.” Asked for advice by a youngster in the 1880s, Horace Greeley famously said, “Go West, young man!” If Horace lived in Colorado Springs today, he might word that statement differently: “Go south, young men and women!” CSBJ

CSHP’s Roman views West as home W By Bryan Grossman

hen Oraida Roman’s daughter began telling everyone in Florida real skiing is done on snow, she knew it was time to pick up and head back to the hills. Roman is the latest CEO to take over at Colorado Springs Health Partners, the city’s largest physician group. For the past two years, she was the chief operating officer at JSA Healthcare Corp. in Tampa, Fla., a DaVita Medical Group company. DaVita acquired CSHP in 2014 and will absorb its largest competitor, Mountain View Medical Group, in a transaction scheduled for completion later this month. Roman spoke to the Business Journal this week about being a Westerner at heart, as well as overseeing CSHP’s growth, its 10 offices in the Colorado Springs area and its staff of more than 145 doctors, physician assistants and other providers.

Where are you from? Originally I’m from South Florida, and I moved out West and spent six years in Utah. My family and I went back home to Florida and could not get used to it — the humidity and all the people. We knew we’d struggle to acclimate, but two-anda-half years in, it still wasn’t working. We were ready to come back West. We became Westerners in the six years we were out here.

ORAIDA ROMAN We are expending a lot of energy in creating physician leaders.”

How did you get involved in health care? I went to grad school in Florida, and then was working in Nashville for a behavioral health care company. I had just finished my master’s degree [in health administration] and got an opportunity to do a graduate internship program at Humana. I went in thinking I’d be there a few years, but I moved back to Florida and was with Humana for about 18 years. I moved with them to Las Vegas and then Utah, running Humana’s Medicare markets. I was in Utah when I got the opportunity to be [chief operating officer] for DaVita in Florida. Working in insurance, you help people finance health care, but you’re removed from the care they’re receiving. One thing for me that was neat about this opportunity was being closer to the patient. Are there aspects from the insurance industry that carried over to your new position? In insurance, you spend a lot of time trying to influence your insured to take care of themselves. I try to do the same thing here, and it’s hard. … The focus on trying to keep people as healthy as possible is very similar, but I have a very different understanding now that I’m closer to the patient. It’s even harder. What are the strengths of this market? One strength is that this is a very tight-

knit community, and all the providers know each other in a way that I didn’t see in Tampa. Tampa is a much bigger city with lots of hospitals. Here, I believe it is easier to transition care from one provider to the other when they all know each other. But there’s also difficulty in a smaller community to provide access to everyone and ensure we have everything we need. What’s your opinion of health care growth in the region? It’s growing at the right rate. But now we need a crystal ball to determine how we’ll grow, and what services we’ll need more of. It can be a costly mistake if we hire a specialty that’s not really needed and we’re under-employing a physician. And it could be a costly mistake if we don’t employ a specialty we need. One of the biggest reasons for dissatisfaction for patients is when they call to see a doc, and we tell them we can see them in six months. When we look at growth and where we need to increase capacity, it would be nice if we had a magic formula and got it right all the time. But it’s a little more difficult. We are hoping to grow our physician panel by probably another 20 in 2017, and that doesn’t include Mountain View Medical Group. That acquisition is expected to close shortly. Is there an update on the Mountain View Medical acquisition? We’re under a formal letter of intent, and we expect to have a signed letter within the next 30 to 60 days to acquire the group. The best way to think about it is both of us are joining DaVita Medical Group. I see, at some point in the future, we’ll all merge as DaVita Medical Group. It’s not [MVM] joining CSHP or CSHP joining them. What are the advantages of CSHP and MVM operating under DaVita? One thing that is a great opportunity is the investment in team and leadership skills DaVita makes. There’s a lot of opportunity for the teammates of DaVita and a lot of room for growth in leadership skills. We are expending a lot of energy in creating physician leaders. Many organizations think of physicians as the production unit, but we’re focusing on creating both operational and physician leadership. Has recruiting been a concern? Recruiting physicians is always a concern, especially for primary care. We all know about the shortages. They’re real. So providing a place where physicians want to work is very important. How will so many health care unknowns in 2017 affect CSHP? This will be year of a lot of volatility and noise. At end of the day, as the leader of this group, we will still have patients who need good medical care. That need isn’t going away, so we’ll focus on that. But how we get there might change. CSBJ n

Southeast business goes from ‘Plan’ to execution By Bryan Grossman

t was the day before New Year’s Eve, and Melissa Chapman had just signed a lease for her very first business. That’s when it hit her. “I was walking to my car, and I was bawling my eyes out. It was like the day I’d left the hospital with my daughter,” the owner of Melissa’s Hair Therapy said. “Part of me was like, ‘Look at this amazing thing that’s mine,’ and part of me was like, ‘Oh my God, I have to keep this alive!’” Chapman is the winner of the inaugural Southeast Business Plan Competition, a project sponsored by the Colorado Springs Business Journal, the Colorado Springs Independent and Thrive Colorado Springs. The competition’s intent was to provide an entrepreneur with resources to start a business, with the caveat that it find a location on the southeast side of the city. Chapman, a hairdresser for 22 years, submitted the winning plan last summer and expects to open by March at 1726 S. Circle Drive in the Spring Creek Shopping Center. “I had it in my head for about 10 years that I wanted to start my own salon,” she said. “About four years ago, I found out I knew hair, but I didn’t know jack about business.” That’s when Chapman began study-

ing business at Pikes Peak Community College, where she enrolled in the Thrive Colorado Springs program, which focused on entrepreneurialism, particularly in the southeast part of town. She heard about the competition through her Thrive involvement. “I wasn’t going to do it. I came in late to class and heard the tail end of the presentation, and thought I would have to develop a super-detailed business plan. I thought, ‘Nope. I’m out.’ I’m a big-picture person — not so much with — Melissa details.” Chapman, though, had a change of heart and submitted a proposal at the last minute. “I’m glad I did it. Without this support, I probably would have backed out already,” she said. “Now that I’m getting deeper into it, I’m starting to see how possible things are, and I’m getting very excited.”

one who wasn’t part of the prize package at all — commercial real estate agent Amanda Miller Luciano of Synergy Real Estate Group. “I don’t feel anything has been overly challenging, and a lot of that is because Amanda has been advising me and holding my hand through this entire process,” Chapman said. Miller Luciano is even donating her commission from the lease to Chapman. “That will probably pay for my sign,” Chapman said. Miller Luciano, Chapman a former Business Journal reporter, was at the contest reception at the Hotel Eleganté in August when Chapman was named the winner. “I knew, whoever won, would probably need space,” Miller Luciano said, adding now that the lease is signed, the real planning can start. “Having space gives you something concrete, and you can begin to imagine and picture your business,” she said. As part of the prize package, Chapman was also given legal assistance in creating an entity, as well as a business bank account, each as important as finding a physical location, Miller Luciano said.

“I really have this sense of responsibility because so many people have been behind me.”

HOLDING HANDS As part of Chapman’s $50,000 prize package, she received access to experts across a variety of fields to help get her business off the ground. But she attributes much of her early success to some-

“Those were things that someone would need to do if they’re starting a business, with a prize package or not,” she said. Regarding locating in the southeast part of town, Miller Luciano said the area is high on potential. “The center at Spring Creek is not the most trafficked or visible area, but it is really close to a lot of residential development,” she said. “Business follows rooftops … so it’s a pretty good location, especially for a service like a salon.”

‘TALK TO EVERYBODY’ Chapman already caters to a large client base, thanks to years of leasing space in other salons. She said she’s learned, as a nascent entrepreneur, to “talk to everybody. “I mean everybody,” she said. “I’ve talked to so many people who aren’t even in my industry. ... Be open for things to come to you. … When you open yourself to discovery, then you start discovering.” As for counting down the days to a soft opening, Chapman said all the pressure has come from within. “I really have this sense of responsibility because so many people have been behind me. Even if I go down in flames, I’m going to ride the process out as far as I can go,” she said — then smiled. “But I’m not afraid of this business failing.” CSBJ n

YOUNG PROFESSIONAL

Jones creates digital customers for analog clients By Amy G. Sweet

hris Jones majored in English at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley, but he discovered the art of social media marketing back in the days when bands were still using Myspace. Since then, the 30-year-old digital marketing manager has moved back to Colorado from New York City and is busy hiring additional workers for Blakely + Co.’s digital team. He recently took time to talk to the Business Journal about his career path, the future of digital marketing and what’s new in his department at Blakely. How did you develop a career in digital marketing? I majored in English and creative writing at UNC — I don’t know exactly what I was thinking, other than I like to read and think poetry is cool. When I moved to New York, I was really looking at a career in music, helping out bands on Myspace. When we moved back to Denver, I started working in the social media department of The Shane Co. I always say my job was to make Tom Shane less boring — at least online. It was a great experience. How did you end up at Blakely? I decided to relocate to the Springs, Blakely wasn’t hiring. But I was very impressed with the company and everything I saw online. So I wrangled a conversation with Camille [Blakely, co-owner of the agency] and my predecessor at the time. When the job came open, they hired me. This is a great work environment, and I appreciate the opportunity to work directly with the stakeholders in businesses and our clients. My role here is to manage the

digital marketing department. So I’m focused on growing it, and I’m hoping to provide clients with a great digital experience. We’ve also started a new project we’re about to roll out in the near future to help nonprofits with their Google spend. Google is giving free spends to nonprofits, it costs them nothing for exposure, but it’s a great opportunity for local nonprofits. It’s a great way we can support the local charities. We’re also hiring someone for Search Engine Optimization, paid searches. What do you say to people who believe you get paid to be on Facebook? I used to say, ‘Yes, that’s why Facebook is free to you.’ Now, in general, it’s important for businesses to connect with customers through social media and paid searches — really, all digital channels. It helps to have someone who knows how to use those platforms, use informal language and who can create that relationship with the consumer. Although, at one point, I spent two weeks playing Farmville. I was trying to see if it was a good platform for advertising. What is the future of digital marketing? That question is problematic because there are a lot of unknowns about which way the industry is headed. I would assume we are working toward a much more personal experience. People talk about an audience of one — we’ll create a specific ad designed for a specific person that is delivered at exactly the right time. What do you do for fun? I hang out with my little dude — 13-month-old Strummer, and my wife, Kristi. He’s learning to walk, so it’s a challenge keeping up with him. I’m a big Rockies fan, which creates a tortured existence. I’m going on record, though. I believe they’ll make the playoffs this year. We also are involved with theater. When we lived in New York City, my wife worked at the Manhattan Theater Club, so we were immersed in Broadway. We still have season tickets for live theater in Denver, and we’re planning on doing the same thing here. Do you have any advice for young professionals? Remember that regardless of where you work — no matter the location or industry, small business or large — without fail, your reputation is everything. Don’t step over other people to get ahead. At the end of the day, you are only as good as the work you’ve done. CSBJ n

Mystery Quests: The business of the great escape By Amber Baillie

t first glance, basing a business around locking customers in a room for an hour and having them solve riddles to escape seems risky. But game enthusiasts Ed and Debi McGaw were one of the first to open an escape room in Colorado Springs — and their love of solving riddles has paid off. Two years ago when they launched their business, they had only one competitor in town. Now, escape rooms are appearing throughout the city and have become a trending option for entertainment and team building. Businesses and families are more than willing to pay for the adventure game, the McGaws said, which has allowed them to move into a bigger space and add three rooms with different themes and challenges.

ADVENTURES ABROAD The McGaws first learned about escape rooms during a trip to Switzerland three years ago. They said they

David, Aileen, Richard and Alex

were immediately intrigued by the mystery, creativity and experience. “Escape rooms have existed in Europe and Asia for 10 years, with the most now in Shanghai and Beijing,” Debi said. “There were about 60 in the U.S. when we started and probably 1,400-1,500 today.” The couple designed their first escape room in the basement of their home. One evening during a birthday party, they asked their friends to try it out. It was a success. “We said, ‘OK, we’ve got this,’ and through self-funding started a business,” Debi said. Ed, an Air Force veteran with a background in computer engineering, designs and builds games for the business, while Debi plans the themes and handles marketing. She said the business started out as an LLC and then changed to a PC after seven months. “We are truly a mom-and-pop small business,” she said. “It was something we could do together and didn’t exist in Colorado Springs. Because 50 percent

of all small businesses fail, it was a little scary getting started but [we] have learned a lot.”

ROOM DEVELOPMENT Each room can hold eight to 10 people and takes about four to six months to construct. That effort includes designing the interior, the game theory and props, Ed said. “The period we spend putting a room together — we don’t sleep much at night because we’ll wake up thinking, ‘How could this work as a puzzle or hiding place?’” he said. Rather than incorporating ghosts or scary concepts, Mystery Quests Rooms eature historical themes. They have a World War II room that features the 10th Mountain Division and another room about The Lost Simpson Mine [a legendary gold mine believed to be located in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of south-central Colorado]. Items and clues are hidden in the room — just like See Escape page 19

Summer hailstorms bring October auto registrations By Cameron Moix

hat started out as an average sales year for Colorado Springs auto dealerships soon turned into one of broken records — with continual population growth, a strong economy and freak hailstorms resulting in local new vehicle registrations that outpaced statewide trends. According to data from the El Paso County Clerk and Recorder’s Office, there were 30,990 new vehicles registered in the county during 2016 — compared to 26,585 in 2015 — which continues an upward trend in new vehicle registrations that has been climbing for more than a decade. The leading brands among those registrations were Subaru with 3,505, Ford with 3,172 and Toyota with 3,019. The month with the most registrations was October, which accounted for 3,450, followed by December with 3,054. Population growth in the region has been a deciding factor for that growth in recent years, helping boost total vehicle registrations, which have grown from 498,573 (324,570 for Colorado Springs) in 2011 to 576,719 (371,972 for Colorado Springs) in 2016, according to county records. Heuberger Motors in Colorado Springs is consistently the top Subaru dealer in the country and continued to lead local sales throughout 2016. John Adams, the company’s director of operations, said he attributes part of its success to a brand that continues to grow in popularity — especially in Colorado and other mountain states. “Subaru used to be a niche car company that used to be the best-kept secret,” he said. “Word has just gotten out that it’s a really great product by a really good company — so sales have gone up.” But another factor contributed to Colorado Springs having a seemingly stronger sales year than other locales, according to local dealers. Adams said he thinks the majority of last year’s local sales numbers can be attributed to crazy weather this summer. “The economy appears to be doing better, and we are experiencing population growth, but what I think really spurred a lot of the sales was the hail damage,” Adams said. “That forced a lot of people to have to buy new vehicles because it totaled their car.” Heuberger’s biggest spike in sales came after a July 28 hailstorm that wrecked cars and trucks across the county, Adams said. The dealership sold 750 cars in that time. October saw 3,450 new vehicles registered in El Paso County (perhaps a lag created by the fact that buyers have 60 days from purchase to register), breaking the record for monthly sales previously set in August 2005. “It was a madhouse at all the dealerships for that 30 to 45 days,” Adams said. The spike in insurance claims — which ended up totaling thousands of vehicles — not only resulted in a great sales year, but a demanding one in which dealers were scrounging to find quality pre-owned vehicles to take to market. “What’s really starting to hurt the market now is the lack of good, pre-owned vehicles, because everything got totaled,” he said. “We don’t do hail sales — we don’t do anything funny or special — we just advertise our vehicles and try to have good business practices, which seems to work pretty well.” Adams said that because of the shortage, used vehicle prices in Colorado Springs and throughout the state are inflated and will likely stay that way throughout the winter months. That has resulted in buyers looking into purchasing newer cars than they might have planned on, he said.

Heuberger sold more than 6,000 new vehicles in 2015. Although this number doesn’t compensate 2016, according to Adams. for sales made by Colorado dealers to customers in He said the number is down slightly from what other states, it does outline a general industry trend. was seen in 2015, but that is attributed to Colorado’s “Despite the decline, the market remained very high demand for Subarus that created inventory strong, with registrations at about 200,000 units,” shortages for Heuberger and other Subaru dealers. according to the report. “Nearly every Subaru dealership, at one point or Over the same period, registrations of pre-owned another, was completely out of one or two model vehicles in Colorado (7 years old or newer) saw a lines,” he said. “That definitely put a little stopper on 7.4-percent increase. some of our sales, but Subaru is increasing producThe top registrations (by percentage of change) tion, and we’re expecting to have another great year.” in 2016 were accounted for by Evidence of the effect hailstorms Volvo (41.6 percent), Fiat (26 perhave had on the pre-owned vehicle cent), Mitsubishi (23.9 percent) and market can be found in a field along Toyota/Scion (8.1 percent).

Big R plans expansion in distribution, retail B By Ashleigh Hollowell

ig R, a farm and ranch supply store that was founded on Colorado’s eastern plains in 1962, started as a small family business with around 25 employees. More than five decades later, it’s the largest ranch and home supply retail chain in the state — and they aren’t finished growing yet. With stores in three states and more than 700 employees, Big R is laying the groundwork for further expansion. While the company won’t open multiple stores this year, it’s still a pivotal year for growth for the ranch retailer. This summer, Big R will move into a new, 195,000-square-foot distribution center in Pueblo, thanks to help from the Pueblo Economic Development Corp. “From our perspective, there are a number of things that would make distribution strong in Pueblo for Big R,” said Jeff Shaw, CEO of PEDCO. “Pueblo being set up for distribution, it has networks and you’ve got two major arteries — I-25 and Highway 50. When they moved to Pueblo, it was successful for them and it made sense for them to expand their operations. What made it possible was their history of success and their great reputation in the community.” While the Pueblo EDC sees its main priority as diversifying Pueblo’s work-

force through recruiting and expanding businesses with the majority of its exports outside the local community, it didn’t hesitate to help Big R with its expansion goals. “What we did, we brought their headquarters and their distribution facility to Pueblo and the announcement was the expansion of their distribution facility,” Shaw said. “So it helps serve their stores, but we don’t work directly in the retail environment.” PEDCO was able to retool the 195,000-square-foot facility once used by Boeing to build rockets. Big R is remodeling it to match its needs. “Currently, we don’t have enough space to handle the product we need to support our stores or enough room to house it,” said Adam Carroll, COO at Big R. “A significant driver is the ability to buy in bulk and stage it as the stores need it, instead of short-servicing them because of lack of room or overstocking. The opportunity to buy in bulk will drive down costs, but before this new distribution center, we didn’t have enough space to hold it.” The new distribution facility is opening with the full support of the Pueblo EDC. “They have a great network. The owners of Big R are down-to-earth, great people. When we incentivize and work with somebody like Big R versus

a Fortune 500 company, it’s obviously a different conversation. We know their history; they’re great partners in the community; they invest in the community.”

2017 PLANS In 2015, Big R opened four locations, but the company is slowing down its retail growth to focus on other parts of the business and regenerate capital. In April, it plans to open a location in Pueblo West that is now under construction. But the company’s main focus will be strengthening its bottom line, training employees and expanding its stock, Carroll said. “It has to do with opportunity and

playing the markets,” he said. “As you build up capital and deplete capital, you want to slow down and replenish capital. A lot of it has to do with opportunity for us. We do not build new, and use second-generation real estate whenever space is available. We take the opportunities while making sure we feel comfortable we aren’t depleting too much of our capital.” However, Big R is building on the site for the new Pueblo West location. The company was not able to find a second-generation real estate space that suited its visibility and traffic count needs. “There are always risks,” Carroll said. See Big R page 17

Pueblo honors Stein as its citizen of year By Amy G. Sweet

n Friday, Jan. 20, Sandy Stein received the Pueblo Chamber of Commerce’s highest honor: Citizen of the Year. Stein, a longtime Pueblo business and community advocate, was given the award based on decades of service to Pueblo, working on behalf of a variety of organizations to raise money and promote the Steel City. For Stein, friends say, the award is long overdue. “It probably should have happened years ago,” says Dee Roger Brown, who knows Stein from work at the chamber, Pueblo’s Rosemont Museum and the Women’s Foundation. “If she didn’t start and organize a group, she — Maggie was very involved. She’s a very deserving person.” Elizabeth Gallegos, outgoing chamber board chairwoman, nominated Stein — citing her long record of service and her caring attitude. “You read the resumé of Sandy Stein, you will see the obvious — she is educated, talented and has received many awards in the past for all she has given in time, talent and treasures,” Gallegos said. “What you will not see are the countless calls, handwritten notes, visits and … the quick hand on

your arm to say a few words of encouragement.” Stein grew up in Arizona and met her husband, Marvin, at the University of Colorado. Marvin, a Pueblo native, brought his new wife to live in Pueblo in 1964. The couple has two daughters and five grandchildren. “They are a special, special family,” says Maggie Divilbliss, another longtime friend and business associate. “She always has a smile, always has a helping hand.” Stein worked for years as the social columnist at the Pueblo Chieftain, leaving after 26 years when the position was cut from the newsroom. Her list of activities is long — she was president of the Broadway Theater League board of directors and the Newcomers’ Club of Pueblo. She was Divilbliss a founding member of the St. Mary Corwin Auxiliary and served two terms as president. She was president for two terms of the Pueblo Symphony board and the PBS advisory board. She is a past president of the Junior League of Pueblo, and a founding member of the Rosemont Museum Auxiliary, where she is still a member of the board of directors. She was vice president of Temple Emanuel’s board and president of Temple Emanuel Sisterhood. She was on the founding board of directors for the Colorado Performing Arts and served as vice president of Hadassah.

“She always has a smile, always has a helping hand.”

The list goes on — and on. She served as big-gifts co-chairman and leadership club member and co-hosted the leadership dinner for Pueblo County United Way. She was a member of the Pueblo Community College Nursing Advisory Board and vice president of the American Cancer Society. She was on the board of directors for Sacred Heart Home and the Rotary Arms and was a founding member of the Pueblo County Child Advocacy Board. She served as secretary of the Pueblo Therapy Center board of directors and was president of the Sangre de Cristo Arts and Conference Center for two terms. She also was the fundraising dinner chairman for the National Jewish Hospital and chairman of the Muscular Dystrophy Telethon. “She helped me the most when I was the director of the Sangre de Cristo Arts Center,” Divilbliss said. “We used to have fundraising meetings and luncheons, and just ask for $5,000 contributions. She was great at fundraising.” But the two have a relationship beyond the professional. Divilbliss said they grew to be close friends. “She’s fun; she’s interesting,” she said. “She is just a sweet lady. She raised some great children, and her grandchildren are remarkable. They are just special people. I just love Sandy to pieces.” Other groups she is involved with: Pueblo Arts See Stein page 17

Analysis: Pueblo’s art concept works By John Hazlehurst

s the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center moves forward under the ownership of Colorado College, it’s interesting to compare today’s FAC with Pueblo’s Sangre de Cristo Arts & Conference Center. Founded in 1972, 36 years after the FAC opened its doors, the Sangre de Cristo is and always has been all about Pueblo and Southern Colorado. A match between the federal Economic Development Agency and Pueblo County provided the initial money. Since then, the institution has been paid for by annual support from Pueblo County (which owns the complex) and private donors. Despite Pueblo’s economic travails in recent decades, city and county support has continued. In 2014, the city and county provided nearly $1 million in funding, but substantially less in 2015-2016. “From an original staff of three and a budget less than $100,000,” according to the center’s website, “the Arts Center now employs 23 full-time and 34 part-time employees — as well as 60 class instructors and 125 volunteers who work in many capacities — and has an annual budget of over $2 million.” Located in the heart of downtown Pueblo, the 89,500-square-foot facility includes multiple galleries, a 500seat theater, studio/classroom spaces, dance studio, sculpture garden and the

renowned Buell Children’s Museum. It’s particularly impressive for a city of only 109,000 inhabitants. “We’re a community arts center,” said Bob Campbell, visitor services and marketing coordinator. “We support all the arts — we encompass all of the arts for Southern Colorado. We want to support our artists, as well as well as put on shows like the [2016] Ansel Adams exhibition.” That’s obvious from the outside of the complex, which displays a large mural by Pueblo artist Mat Taylor, appropriately titled “Wall of Wonder.” “It was just a bare concrete wall,” said Campbell. “We used to hang exhibition banners there, but they had a very short shelf life.” Like the Sangre de Cristo, the Fine Arts Center’s entrance features a mural by a then-local artist, Boardman Robinson. Unlike the SDC, the FAC received only token support from public sources during its 90-year run as a privately funded institution. That’s one reason the merger with Colorado College made sense — the FAC couldn’t survive without a committed, solvent and reliable partner. It’s unlikely either El Paso County or Colorado Springs would have consented to a long-term funding partnership with the FAC. The city already helps fund the municipally owned Pioneers Museum, and El Paso County no longer supports the Pikes Peak Center. The FAC has a long history of sup-

porting local performing and visual artists, and that will continue. Yet future exhibitions and performances may frequently focus on areas important to the students, professors and staff of a liberal arts college. Such subjects may not please everybody in Colorado Springs. An upcoming exhibition, “Force/ Resistance” featuring Floyd Tunson, Dareece Walker and Bunky Echo-Hawk “will seek to stimulate dialogue around the complex relationships between systems of power and violence in the United States. The artists in the exhibition address a range of issues including racial profiling, mortality, racially motivated conflict, and legislative oppression.” By contrast, the Sangre de Cristo will

offer “Representing the West,” a juried exhibition of local and regional artists “considering the changing culture and myths of the American West.” Reflecting on Western landscapes, exhibition juror Don Stinson wrote that “the tensions brought about by change and a growing human presence to the West only get more compelling as we struggle to apprehend the areas beyond the shadow of our most celebrated landscapes.” It’s clear: Whether publicly funded or currying private donations, art museums must cater to the perceived preferences of their donors. In Colorado Springs and Pueblo, that makes for an engaging mix of exhibits. CSBJ n

Big R: Expansion in works for distribution and retail From page 15

“You risk spending a lot of capital hoping it will pan out the way you want. Sometimes there are infrastructure costs that right now don’t generate additional revenue, but down the road, they will. “There’s always that risk and uneasy feeling about making a lot of calculated moves, hoping you’ve done all your due diligence, and that your execution is correct so that when you get there you see the benefit of what you’re really going out to get.” When deciding to expand, Carroll and his team look at several factors. “We look at what does that market have and don’t have? Where is it underserved? How is the culture of that market? Is our business model going to fit well?

Are we going to be received well in that environment? We study everything from population to household income and even animal population, like the average number of household pets and agricultural animals,” Carroll said. “We study daily traffic and economic factors We study the markets on a micro scale. First, we look at macro factors, then micro based on what benchmarks are important to us.” Expansion rates differ from business to business and the decision requires some insight into revenue and finances, said Michael Wakefield, director of the Healy Center for Business and Economic Research and Services and professor of management at Colorado State University-Pueblo. “The rate of expansion is usually predicated upon the

current cash flows and future cash-flow projections. It is important to not outrun your expected profits,” he said. “That is why it is critical to develop pro forma financial statements — projections of income statements, balance sheets and cash flow, based on realistic assumptions driven by market and economic conditions.” Carroll’s advice to businesses interested in expansion is to be prepared to meet employee needs, he said. “Expansion puts a lot of stress on your people when you’re growing,” Carroll said. “Be alert to their needs. Sometimes you don’t know how much you’ve asked of them until you figure out that they’ve maybe been overwhelmed. “Keep a pulse on the team and add proper resources to keep your team strong.” CSBJ

Now in her 70s, Stein remains active on many boards and committees — even as she battles multiple myeloma, a rare form of cancer. Her friends and associates in Pueblo believe the honor this year could have gone to no one else. The award will join a list of honors Stein has received for her tireless work on behalf of the Steel City. In 1971, she was named one of the Outstanding Young Women in America; she won the community service award from the University of Colorado in 1975. She received the CSU-Pueblo Community Service Award that same year and was a Pueblo County Outstanding Volunteer. She earned the Sangre de Cristo Trustee of Distinction award and was the Junior League’s Sustainer of the Year. She won the chamber’s Sunshine Award, the Southern Colorado Press Club’s Community Service Award and the University of Colorado’s Distinguished Service Award. She won CSU-Pueblo’s Outstanding American Achievement Award in 2000 and was named Outstanding Woman in 2002 during Women’s History Week. And those are just a few of the awards on Stein’s resumé. A host of other nonprofits and business groups have recognized Stein for the work she has done on their behalf — groups like Parkview Hospital, Pueblo Community College, the Rosemont Museum, the Latino Chamber, the YWCA and the American Cancer Society. “Sandy has always been a strong cheerleader for our town,” Gallegos said. “I believe it is time for Sandy Stein to be recognized for all she has contributed to Pueblo.” CSBJ n

Streetcar: Springs negotiates for right-of-way From page 9

With the acquisition of restorable 1950s-era Philadelphia transit cars, the foundation got to work. Colorado Springs voters awarded the organization a streetcar franchise, and funds were raised for a feasibility study — but reality intervened. Hampered by regulatory and financial constraints, the project was indefinitely postponed as Colorado Springs worked through two recessions and a voter-mandated change in the form of government.

Unlike bus routes, street railways have substantial and measurable economic impacts upon corridor development. “Rail has a permanence developers prefer and so do customers,” said Greg Roberts, foundation board member and streetcar restoration expert. “Many people who will ride a streetcar or light rail avoid buses. Streetcars are cleaner

and, due to the lower friction of a steel wheel, more energy efficient than any tired vehicle.”

FINANCING THE SYSTEM Federal transportation dollars have helped build virtually every new streetcar system in America, but such funding comes with extraordinary costs. “We estimate that [using federal funding] increases overall system costs by 600 percent,” Lippincott said. “You also need to come up with matching funds, so it doesn’t make sense for Colorado Springs.” The foundation has about $4.2 million in assets, including restorable

But now the project has new hope, thanks to efforts by the foundation and the city. Foundation president Dave Lippincott, a retired businessman with decades of experience in Colorado Springs, explained why the Nevada route was chosen. “We believe that we can transport our equipment via rail to the new site,” he said. “North of Fillmore, the active line splits. The left fork connects to the North Nevada right-of-way. We would have to lay track to make the connection, but we have more than two miles of track stacked in our yard. We’d lay the new track, then move the cars and trucks.” Still, nothing is set in stone, he said. “Our plans are quite fluid at this stage,” he continued, “but we have

streetcars, rail and a substantial spare parts inventory. “We’ll need upwards of $4 million to $5 million to pay for moving our cars and equipment, building facilities and infrastructure to support streetcar operations, and ultimately laying track for a streetcar system operating to downtown Colorado Springs,” Lippincott said. “Funding will also be required to hire vendors to accomplish the heavy work needed to refurbish our PCC cars.” PCC cars were designed by the President’s Conference Committee in 1929, a group made up of the biggest streetcar manufacturers. The money doesn’t include paying for possible operational deficits or laying track for the entire system. The foundation wants to partner with Colorado Springs Utilities to construct the overhead electric lines to deliver power to the cars. Even the most ardent supporters acknowledge trolleys are principally tools of economic development, best funded by a combination of private investment and special improvement district financing. “The Legislature amended the laws governing special districts a couple of years ago and made creating them much more difficult,” said Robert Shonkwiler, who has served on the Urban Renewal Authority. “It’s probably best to go straight to the voters, and ask them for funding directly.” CSBJ

Internet of Things: Global perspective with a local touch

ave you heard about the third wave of global innovation known as the Internet of Things? You probably have — and your organization is more than likely contemplating how to participate in this wave of innovation. So for people who are unfamiliar with IoT: What is all the fuss about? What is this IoT? What could it P A L A C E mean for Colorado Springs, its citizens, its businesses, local government and education institutions? I am privileged to be at the heart of this revolution, which is active across the world and empowers many organizations, governments and technology giants to participate in this purpose-driven (r)evolution. OK, so what is this IoT? Put simply, the IoT is understanding what is happening in the physical world at any moment, and then using the data to take intelligent action. In essence, it is about creating intelligence, increasing efficiencies, generating sustainability and positive economic impact within every aspect of society and make it “smart” — from the home, to business, to government. Imagine billions of sensors deployed in our physical world — throughout our environment, across our farmlands, throughout our cities, in our clothes, on animals, in our homes. Sensors measure information from their physical location and communicate the data over wireless networks. IoT applications use this data, after it’s stored in the cloud, to create information and intelligence that help make decisions. Businesses can use IoT to automate or to become more energy-efficient. In people’s personal lives, it helps find the closest parking space to a meeting or detect an illness before it becomes chronic.

In essence, IoT brings the analog, physical world (planet, living things, resources and assets) into the digital world. Because IoT has billions of sensors deployed in the physical world, it is no surprise that markets and applications are unlimited. As Einstein famously said, “Imagination makes the world go round.” You see, IoT invites us to imagine a more efficient, smarter, environmentally friendly and sustainable world; it also empowers us to create that world. Any citizen has easy access to a choice of technologies to build IoT solutions. Everyone can get involved. Sounds a bit intangible? And what is this global perspective with a local touch all about? What could it mean for Colorado Springs? One of my very good friends and business colleagues, Chris Rezendes, launched IoT Impact Labs, based in a New Bedford, Mass. New Bedford is the nation’s biggest fishing port and its citizens are primarily blue-collar workers. Chris developed local, national and global alliances — including a public-private partnership of more than 200 organizations with the participation of Fortune 500 technology giants and the White House. His IoT Impact labs work closely with small businesses in New Bedford to bring IoT solutions into their business operations that increase efficiency, optimize revenue and create jobs. About 70 projects are underway. This IoT innovation model is an economic development play and is being adopted internationally. The local touch goes global. Colorado Springs could readily partner — or even duplicate this model — to realize its own future using IoT. It is fundamental to develop alliances and build community across the public and private sectors, reaching out to local powerhouses like Ball Aerospace

and focus on markets and products Colorado Springs is passionate about. Opportunities abound to deliver IoT with purpose into Colorado Springs, throughout its public and private sectors and maybe expedite into a kind of “utopian” future akin to the Garden of the Gods. The great playwright George Bernard Shaw laid down a new mindset to one of his students, “You keep saying, ‘Why? Why? Why?’ I think you may go further by asking the question — ‘Why not?’” Colorado Springs could go further in its leadership in IoT. Local manufacturing could become involved in developing IoT sensors and devices. The area’s strong manufacturing base and the formation of Colorado Advanced Manufacturing AllianceSouth offers unique strengths to making IoT a reality in Colorado Springs. The agility within local manufacturing facilities means we can work closely with organizations that are developing IoT solutions from requirements capture, to trials, to roll out. Adjustments are always needed. The local, human touch is not lost. Furthermore, I see no reason why a set of manufacturing best practices and templates could not be developed and licensed to other locales. In partnership with CAMA, we can leverage the Colorado Springs manufacturing base at a kind of “IoT manufacturing Silicon Valley.” Is IoT a global utopia? Will technology save us from ourselves? I don’t know, but IoT is an invitation for Colorado Springs to imagine a smarter locale. We can use IoT to make citizens’ lives smarter and more fun, forge new economic alliances and show global leadership that we can use our local manufacturing base to create all those billions of IoT sensors. Jay Palace, president of Linear Manufacturing, can be reached through the Colorado Advanced Manufacturing Alliance at 719-213-3923.

OTHER VOICES

How do we determine the cost of fake news?

hen local news outlets warn about an upcoming snowstorm, we pay attention. Some dash to the grocery store; some take a day off because schools might be closed. We trust the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s reports. I still remember my fears listening to the news during winters. S A S S O W E R Will my restaurant staff show up to work? Will vendors deliver supplies? And most importantly, will customers stay home? In the age of “fake news,” it matters if what you hear — or read — is reliable. There are two parallels in our recent history worth recalling. The first dates to World War II and the Cold War. The role of propaganda was immensely important both to encourage domestic audiences and to demoralize the enemy. Starting in WWII, three kinds of propaganda were classified in terms of intent, the reliability of the source and the reliability of the information. “White” propaganda comes from a reliable and identifiable source, and the information is accurate, even when the delivery influences listeners and readers. “Black” propaganda is deliberately attributed to unidentified or false sources, and it spreads lies about whatever is at issue — where missiles are located or how many troops are being deployed. “Gray” propaganda is somewhere in between the two, so that sometimes the sources are correctly identified, but the information is misrepresented. As in courts of law, when we try to get to the “truth,

Raphael

the whole truth and nothing but the truth,” we always question the intent behind a news report from official sources, especially when sources seem to have an agenda or an axe to grind. The second parallel dates to the debates over the tobacco industry’s claims that smoking does not cause cancer. In this case — and others such as asbestos, coal, drug abuse and climate change — scientific testimony in courts of law by the “other side” has been discredited as “junk science.” Junk science is any scientific study you disagree with. Admittedly, every collection of data is inevitably incomplete and deserves critical assessment. In this sense, every scientific theory can be challenged. But here, too, the question of intent is paramount. We should check what is at stake when data is presented: Can someone benefit from spreading this information? Once the answer is clear, we can proceed to examine the data. It’s obvious that a tobacco company will try to convince smokers that cigarettes don’t kill them. But when this claim is supposedly backed by science, a sinister element becomes apparent: Profits trump truth. In most cases, judges and juries have to figure out if and when the evidence is indeed “junk science.” We have business-related laws against false advertisements, and there are penalties for misleading consumers. For example, when Volkswagen claimed its diesel car was both energy-efficient and polluted less than the competition. In addition to reimbursing American car owners some $15 billion, Volkswagen agreed to pay $4.3 billion to settle criminal charges

of deliberately violating Environmental Protection Agency rules. While our local VW dealer claims the scandal hasn’t hurt sales, one wonders if it should have. Is it a question of punishment for past transgressions (fewer sales), or are we immune to all car advertisements (same sales)? Perhaps we don’t care enough to find the truth about what we buy, from cars to food. But should we? Politicians are notoriously unreliable sources of information about themselves and the policies they will enact when elected. Are businesspeople any better? Should you trust your broker? Can you trust the food you are served was sourced from a local farm (as advertised)? Journalists have traditionally tried to make sure all data is verified so as not to mislead the public. With the expansion of media into the internet, those codes have been stretched and tested more than ever before. Most websites don’t have the layers of editorial policing that established news outlets have, but that alone isn’t the reason to distrust them. In an environment where so many news outlets vie for our attention — with so much at stake for financial survival and viability — it’s no wonder that outrageous and unsubstantiated news are spread. Digital exposure raises new challenges. Can we decipher what is true? Truth is difficult to fully ascertain, but obvious fakes are easily detectable. If a business deal is too good to be true, it surely is. And if a snowstorm is announced, better be safe than sorry — but looking out the window may be a prudent policy as well. Raphael Sassower, professor of philosophy at UCCS, can be reached at rsassower@gmail.com. See previous articles at sassower.blogspot.com.

We should check what is at stake when data is presented.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Hitch Rack decision should stand To the Editor: Many of us who reside in the Highway 115 corridor a few minutes south of Colorado Springs were not surprised by Transit Mix Concrete Co.’s recent petition to the Mined Land Reclamation Board to reconsider the board’s Oct. 27 decision that denied a mining application on Hitch Rack Ranch. Transit Mix now contends that the MLRB violated several rules, allowed evidence to be presented “illegally” and failed to heed the recommendations of the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety staff. Coloradans should be aware that the MLRB listened to two days of testimony, during which the board heard detailed briefs, rebuttals and concluding arguments from Transit Mix, the DRMS staff and opponents. In the end, the board found the evidence and testimony of those opposed more compelling than that of both Transit Mix and DRMS staff. It voted to deny the application because it failed to conform to specific requirements regarding legal right of entry, ground water disturbance, and the safety and protection of wildlife. The board’s written explanation as to why it denied the mining permit is clear and concise. Although not all of the issues fall within the purview of the MLRB, here are a few of the adverse impacts should a quarry be allowed on Hitch Rack Ranch. The owners, families and guests of the 48 properties in the Eagle’s Nest Homeowners Association and former Bauer’s Ranch will be forced to drive through the quarry to get to and from their properties. Their access will be blocked during blasting operations. (Property owners in the Eagle’s Nest Association are the dominant easement

owners.) Blasting and excavation will imperil the wells that residents in the area depend upon for their water. Critical habitat for the threatened Mexican Spotted Owl will be destroyed, and a major elk and deer migration corridor will be disrupted and compromised. The dust and noise produced by quarries is well documented, as are the adverse impacts to nearby neighbors. Finally, the proposal creates a traffic choke point that will jeopardize the safety of those who drive on Highway 115 past Hitch Rack Ranch. Transit Mix states that the community needs aggregate in order to continue to grow. In reality, existing quarries in the area have more than 1 billion tons of aggregate in reserve. Additionally, there is a shorthaul railroad that can transport aggregate directly to Colorado Springs from quarries located in Fremont and Pueblo counties. Shipping by rail would greatly reduce traffic on Highway 115, a benefit to every commuter, soldier, motorcyclist, bicyclist and tourist who uses the highway between Colorado Springs and Penrose. Residents along the Highway 115 corridor are not anti-quarry; rather, we contend that Hitch Rack Ranch is not the location for another quarry — there are already three well-established quarries operating within a five-mile stretch of Highway 115. We are confident that the MLRB will take a hard look at Transit Mix’s petition and conclude that the board’s initial decision was legal and just. Gary McCowen Colorado Springs
