- The 31st annual Emma Crawford Coffin Races took place over the weekend.
Since 1995, the macabre event has featured various entries of coffins that race down Manitou Ave in honor of Emma Crawford. Each coffin is required to have an ‘Emma’. Sophia Ulrich and Barb Reichter of the Pikes Peak Spartans—founded by Reichter’s wife—spoke with The Gazette about the event. Reichter has raced since the event began.
Thousands gathered Saturday, many in costume, packing the streets to watch the head-to-head coffin races. Below is more information about Emma Crawford from a preview of the article written by reporter Nick Smith:
In 1889, Emma Crawford, a woman suffering from tuberculosis, moved to Manitou hoping the natural mineral waters would provide relief, and perhaps even a cure. Although weakened, she was determined to climb the summit of Red Mountain. Struck by the beauty of the surroundings, Crawford asked to be buried there.

- Pamela Langford was recently evicted from her ADA-accessible apartment by the Colorado Springs Housing Authority, following a years-long dispute with a neighbor. The conflict escalated to the point where a restraining order was filed against Langford. She claims the order, which was later vacated, was baseless.
Langford believes her eviction is retaliation for her role in organizing informal tenant rights meetings in her building. Now displaced and unsure where she can live, Langford says she’s deeply disappointed in the Housing Authority and the way it treats its residents.
The Colorado Springs Housing Authority, a quasi-governmental yet independent agency whose seven-member board is appointed by the mayor, abides by HUD regulations and follows a five-step eviction process that includes clearance from a third-party legal firm, the opportunity for mediation and court approval, according to Deputy Director Paul T.
