During an Oct. 13, 2020 City Council meeting, Zac Short, a former combat medic, entered into the public record his story about a little girl in Afghanistan, covered in third-degree burns, who he was unable to save. That incident haunted Short, who spent years trying in-and out-patient therapy and a variety of different pharmaceuticals to treat his post-traumatic stress disorder. Short finally found relief from his PTSD symptoms with psilocybin mushrooms, a substance that has been decriminalized in Denver and five other cities across the country, and in the state of Oregon. Short and the organization Decriminalize Nature hope to pass a similar measure here in Colorado Springs.
Youâve seen and heard fireworks, but have you seen and heard fireworks on ice?
Ice Cold Fireworks, a pyromusical (fireworks display choreographed to music), is scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 13, on Lake Koshkonong.
The free event is being organized by Edgerton resident and Desert Storm veteran Chad Green, founder of boomfests.com, and Spectrum Pyrotechnics of Reeseville.
âEveryone is welcome,â said Green, who encourages people to leave their problems at home and have some good, wholesome fun.
Parking will be available at Royce Dallman Park, 11500 N. Charley Bluff Road, in the town of Milton. Green encourages people to carpool, and snowmobilers are welcome.
