Author visits The Bookworm of Edwards to talk about living off-grid in Colorado
As housing and renting costs rise, people are getting more and more creative, and there seems to be a draw for many to rural areas. One such area is the San Luis Valley of southeastern Colorado, where after subdivision projects failed, 5 acre plots in the high desert can be purchased for relatively cheap. In May 2017, author Ted Conover bought one of those five acre plots to see what off-grid life looked like firsthand, and lived off that land over the course of four years.

New York Times reporter unravels the mysteries of military brain health
Before Dave Philipps won the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for “Other Than Honorable” — a series of articles in the Colorado Springs Gazette that shed light on the way wounded soldiers, many with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), were being discharged for minor infractions and losing their health benefits — reporting on the military was a matter of proximity more than anything. Philipps, a graduate of the Columbia University School of Journalism, grew up in Colorado Springs and spent much of his early career at The Gazette. But his coverage of the murder of a local veteran led to his first book, “Lethal Warriors: When the New Band of Brothers Came Home,” that looked closely at undiagnosed PTSD in soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. Then, shortly after he won the Pulitzer in 2014, The New York Times hired him to cover the military for their national desk. He’s since written two more books — “Wild Horse Country,” about America’s complicated relationship with the mustang, and “ALPHA: Eddie Gallagher and the War for the Soul of the Navy SEALs” — and dozens of articles that often look at the ways, directly or indirectly, that service in the American military affects the brain and mental health of its soldiers.
