The founders of The Colorado Springs Independent reminisce. John Weiss, Kathryn Eastburn, Teri Homick and Richard Skorman chat about events thirty years ago that sparked the launch of what eventually became known as “The Indy.” It was 1992. “Colorado Springs was a crazy place. Amendment 2 had just been passed, denying protection to gay and lesbian people. The community needed a second newspaper to bring out the best. According to John Weiss, “our goal was to tell all sides of the story. We wanted to celebrate the community we lived in.”

Weiss, along with Kathryn Eastburn, developed the business plan and launched the paper. Kathryn served at times as a co-publisher, editor, reporter, and columnist. Teri Homick was the first staff member hired. In this episode Teri honors the contributions of a long list of staffers. Local businessman (and later, city councilor) Richard Skorman provided early support. In this conversation, Skorman credits The Independent for the passage of TOPS (Trails, Open Space and Parks tax), as well as elevating other important issues. John Weiss shares that, “we were able to communicate and challenge. It’s not believable where we’ve evolved to.... It was part NPR, part New York Times, and part Bart Simpson.” The Indy was all about creating dialogue and getting people to think.

How did a casual drinking club of nine ambitious young cooks turn into a legit chefs collaborative tackling the betterment of Colorado Springs’ food scene 20 years ago? Matthew’s joined by longtime Springs chefs Brent Beavers (Immerse Cuisine, BFD), Jay Gust (Tapateria, Pizzeria Rustica, Homa Café Bar), and James Africano (The Warehouse). We discuss part of the Springs’ food history, specifically a time 20 years ago when these chefs were part of a chefs collaborative called Club 9. We learn about their intent then and now, and their more experienced (old guard) viewpoint on today’s food and drink scene.

The Colorado Springs Indy has been the alternative newsweekly voice for the Pikes Peak Region since 1993. We strive to have a positive impact on our beloved community by making the Pikes Peak region a more informed, more tolerant, more ecological and a more fun place to live. Matthew Schniper has been a writer and editor at the paper since 2006.
