EPISODE #87 This Fantastic Fellas Friday we celebrate Bryant T. Marks, Ph.D., Founder and Chief Equity Officer of the National Training Institute on Race and Equity and is a Professor in the Department of Psychology at Morehouse College. Dr. Marks did a special entitled Hidden Bias of Good People, and I thought it would be a road map to uniting America. We need to help everyone recognize the biases we have in general, not always for racial reasons, but also because of our environments. ARE YOU BIAS? Bias is prejudice in favor of or against one thing, person or group compared with another, usually in a way considered to be unfair. WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY?

Good Morning, Colorado, and welcome to the Daily Sun-Up. It’s Friday December 18th, and we’re feeling lucky to start the day with you. Every week day we’re sharing a closer look at one of our top stories. Today we‘re discussing Rocky Mountain Barrel Company. They’ve been especially aware of how the demands have changed in the industry amid the pandemic. Before we begin, let’s go back in time with some Colorado history adapted from historian Derek R Everett’s book “Colorado Day by Day”: Today, we take you back to December 18th, 1888 when ranchers Richard Wetherill and Charles Mason were searching for stray cattle. While standing on a ledge they found the ruins of Cliff Palace, the most famous remnant in what has now become Mesa Verde National Park. Now, our feature story. All around, hundreds of barrels and casks are stacked high inside Rocky Mountain Barrel Company’s warehouse in Wheat Ridge. This is where the great Colorado beers take shape. Half of the barrel broker’s customers are local breweries that use the vessels to age beers that range in style from rich stouts and porters to effervescent sours. For smaller breweries, which account for the majority in Colorado, the barrels create a conduit for experimentation and the ability to appeal to consumers who are always chasing new flavors. The small-batch barrel-aged beers -- particularly dark stouts and porters that match the dark days of winter -- are a bright spot that defies other trends in the beer industry. Colorado Sun reporter John Frank is joining us today to tell us more. John, thanks so much for joining us today, can you start by talking about how breweries actually get the barrels for the beer? And what does a barrel add to beer in terms of flavor? And finally, how high is the popularity in barrel-aged beers right now? Thanks so much for joining us, John. In recent years, the increase in consumer interest for fruity IPAs, low-calorie beers and hard seltzers put a dent in production of barrel-aged styles that are more complex in flavor and more expensive to make. The coronavirus pandemic and economic downturn have added their own drop off as many beer drinkers turn to budget-minded brews and those easy to find in one stop at the grocery store. But the limited availability of barrel-aged beers from smaller breweries still drives consumer interest. The pinch has hit larger brewers most. Thanks for listening. Finally, here are a few stories that you should know about today: U.S. Rep. Ken Buck announced Thursday that he will not seek a second term as Colorado’s GOP chairman, formally launching the race to replace him and lead the party out of two disappointing election cycles. Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser is taking the lead in a 35-state, bipartisan lawsuit filed Thursday against tech giant Google that accuses the company of “anticompetitive conduct” and monopolistic behavior surrounding its search engine and advertising arm. On Tuesday, Gov. Jared Polis and a group of public health and education leaders laid out a roadmap for getting children back to the classroom as soon as possible in 2021. But the report is short on details about how the state will help schools overcome logistical challenges. For more information on all of these stories, visit our website, www.coloradosun.com.

Good Morning, Colorado, and welcome to the Daily Sun-Up. It’s Wednesday December 16th, and we’re feeling lucky to start the day with you. Join us daily for an in-depth look at one of our top stories, and a quick summary of other important things happening in our state. Today, we’re focused on ski injuries at resorts in Colorado. Before we begin, let’s take a look at what happened on this day in Colorado history - adapted from Derek R Everett’s book “Colorado Day by Day”: Today, we take you back to December 16th, 1918 when Governor Julius C Gunter signed a proclamation enacting a provision that seems incomprehensible in the age of microbreweries. Coloradans had approved a full prohibition on the manufacture, sale, and consumption of alcohol. Now, our feature story. The resort industry has been notoriously reluctant to discuss injury statistics, the number of skiers and snowboarders injured while on the slopes. But the new statistics from the Colorado department of public health and environment have been released, and are delivering a closer look at the frequency and the severity. Colorado Sun reporter Jason Blevins is here to tell us more. Thanks for joining us today, Jason. First, tell us what these statistics showed? Skier safety laws that require skiers to recognize inherent risks in the sport and be responsible for their own behavior have for decades protected the resort industry from large legal settlements. They’ve also kept the public from understanding how often people are seriously hurt on the slopes. Thanks for listening. Before we go here are a few stories you should know about today: Two more Colorado prison inmates have died after apparently contracting COVID-19. The Colorado Department of Corrections declined to provide the names of inmates. Colorado’s public school enrollment has dropped by 30,000 students. That could spell financial disaster for districts. A glitch in Colorado’s unemployment system kept thousands from accessing federal coronavirus aid. One in 8 Americans lives in a community that has lost its local public health department leader during the pandemic.

Good Morning, Colorado, and welcome to the Daily Sun-Up. It’s Tuesday December 15th, and we’re feeling lucky to start the day with you. Join us daily for an in-depth look at one of our top stories. Today, we’re discussing how nearly a third of Jeffco Public Schools students qualify for subsidized school meals. Many community members are now worried that they can’t access the meals during the pandemic. Before we begin, let’s take a look at what happened on this day in Colorado history - adapted from Derek R Everett’s book “Colorado Day by Day”: Today, we take you back to December 15th, 1962 when Colorado’s newest winter sports resort opened in Eagle County. The resort boasted the nation’s first gondola. But what the Vail Lodge and Inn lacked on opening day, unfortunately, was snow. Now, our feature story. Feeding families who are struggling to make ends meet during the pandemic has risen as a top priority for many school districts across Colorado. But a band of community organizations is calling on Jeffco Public Schools to do even more to make sure its students have enough food. Colorado Sun reporter Erica Breunlin is joining today to fill us in on what’s going on. Erica, can you begin by explaining why community organizations and community members are so concerned about students' access to school meals right now? Is the distribution process? What’s the biggest issue here? As Erica mentioned Jeffco Public Schools, which is educating 79,150 students this school year, is taking steps to increase access. A pilot program launches on Monday in which school buses will deliver meals to neighborhoods. The district is one component of a broader community network responsible for making sure families are fed day after day -- a network that relies just as much on other community staples like food banks. But school meal programs have become even more critical this year as churches and other programs that traditionally offer hot meal options to the community are not open because of safety issues. Thanks for listening. Before we go here are a few stories you should know about today: Colorado received its first shipment of the coronavirus vaccine Monday morning, launching a months-long inoculation process that health officials hope will start to have meaningful effects on limiting transmission of the disease in the state by late spring. Records obtained by the Sun show that Jenna Ellis, the attorney from Colorado representing President Donald Trump in his bid to overturn his 2020 election loss, was fired from her job as a Weld County prosecutor in 2013 for making mistakes on cases. Now that the coronavirus vaccine is here, public health agencies must convince people to take it. At least 70% of Coloradans must get the shot to achieve herd immunity, but is a $1 million marketing budget enough to build credibility?

Good Morning, Colorado, and welcome to the Daily Sun-Up. It’s Monday December 14th, and we’re feeling lucky to start the day with you. Join us daily for an in-depth look at one of our top stories. Today, we’re discussing how state officials are looking to extend leases for alternate care sites. While at the same time, Hospitals are activating “surge plans” to increase their capacity. Before we begin, let’s go back in time with some Colorado history adapted from historian Derek R Everett’s book “Colorado Day by Day”: Today, we take you back to December 14th, 1948 when Commissioners from both Colorado and Kansas signed the Arkansas River Compact. Prior, the line between Colorado and Kansas had inspired generations of tension and court battles. And now, our feature story. Colorado’s three remaining hospital overflow sites were originally set to close in January. But now, state officials are working to extend leases and line up staff. They’re still worried about the worst-case scenario they planned for nine months ago. Two of the original five alternate care sites were dismantled back in October. And in the remaining three - the Colorado Convention Center and two other sites - The hospital beds have been empty for months. Still, the Colorado Office of Emergency Management is working on a contract extension. It’s a sign that even as the first doses of the coronavirus vaccine are on their way to Colorado, public health officials remain concerned that the crisis could get worse through the holiday season and the rest of winter. Colorado Sun reporter Jennifer Brown is joining us today to talk more about the situation. Jennifer, can you start by giving us some more background on these overflow hospitals? When were they built? So, now that those two sites have closed can you talk more about the plans for the remaining three? And how much is this costing the state? Thanks, Jennifer. The state’s unified command center now gets hospital capacity reports daily — sometimes more — so officials can make a fast decision if they need to launch operations at one of these alternate care sites. It would take about 14 days to get one ready to accept patients. And across the state have been closer to reaching capacity. Closer in the last few weeks than any time so far in the pandemic. A few reached near 90% of capacity in late November and early December. One — Park View Medical Center in Pueblo — was so full that it reached out for help. The distress call resulted in 20 patients leaving Park View for other hospitals with vacant beds. A hospital collaborative was also activated last month. This allows hospitals to transfer patients to medical centers not only within the same hospital system but to other systems, too. This network is part of the state’s effort to avoid opening the alternate care sites. And thank you all for listening. Finally, here are a few stories you should know about today: This was an extra bad week for Coloradans who lost their jobs at the start of the pandemic. We just ended week 39 — the maximum number of weeks one is eligible for unemployment pay currently. The U.S. gave the final go-ahead Friday to the nation’s first COVID-19 vaccine, doses could arrive in Colorado in days. The Legislative Audit Committee, which is led by Republicans, will hold a hearing Tuesday to investigate alleged election discrepancies in Colorado. There’s no proof there were any. Colorado’s review of the Catholic Church sex abuse named priests, but not those who covered up their crimes. Victims say the whole story hasn’t been told.For more information on all of these stories, visit our website, www.coloradosun.com. Now, a quick message from our editor.

Good Morning, Colorado, and welcome to the Daily Sun-Up. It’s Tuesday December 8th, and we’re feeling lucky to start the day with you. Join us daily for an in-depth look at one of our top stories. Today, we’re sharing a conversation we had with the mayor of Colorado springs after he visited a COVID ward. Before we begin, let’s take a look at what happened on this day in Colorado history - adapted from Derek R Everett’s book “Colorado Day by Day”: Today, we take you back to December, 1908 when President Theodore Roosevelt declared Colorado’s first national monument, Wheeler, which is high in the San Juan Mountains. Wheeler National Monument was named for Lieutenant George M Wheeler who surveyed the area back in 1874. Now, our feature story. John Suthers is the Republican mayor of Colorado Springs. On Nov. 25, the day before Thanksgiving, he visited a COVID ward at UCHealth Memorial Hospital Central to see just how bad the coronavirus situation really is in his city. We caught up with him a few days later about the experience and how it did -- and didn't -- change his views on the pandemic. Here’s Colorado Sun reporter Jesse Paul with Suthers. Thanks for listening. Before we go here are a few stories you should know about today: Marlon Reis, the partner of Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, remained hospitalized Monday with the coronavirus after spending the night receiving medical care. Reis was taken to the hospital by Polis on Sunday after suffering from shortness of breath and worsening cough, symptoms that developed eight days after testing positive for COVID-19. The governor, who also has coronavirus, has had only minor symptoms and is doing well, according to his office. Xcel Energy and the Polis administration hashed out the shape of a $30 million electric vehicle rebate program, the most generous in the country, behind closed doors. And then in September state officials presented it to utility regulators as their own. Colorado’s State Court Administrator’s Office lacks “culture of accountability,” according to audit. The department spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on leave, contracts and buyouts over four years with little or no justification A grandson of Forrest Fenn has confirmed that a medical school student from Michigan found an over $1 million treasure chest that the retired art and antiquities dealer stashed in the wilds of Wyoming over a decade ago.

Good Morning, Colorado, and welcome to the Daily Sun-Up. It’s Monday December 7th, and we’re feeling lucky to start the day with you. Join us daily for an in-depth look at one of our top stories. Today, we’re discussing the debate over the coronavirus vaccine and how it shows the differences between how politicians and public health workers think of the pandemic. Before we begin, let’s go back in time with some Colorado history adapted from historian Derek R Everett’s book “Colorado Day by Day”: Today, we take you back to December 7th, 1929 when an estimated crowd of 10,000 people gathered atop the Royal Gorge to dedicate the world’s highest bridge. It spans 1,260 feet in length and sits 956 feet above the Arkansas River. And now, our feature story. Here’s a simple question for a pandemic where nothing is ever as simple as it seems: When should college students living in dorms get the coronavirus vaccine? In one way of looking at this question, college-aged people are among the least likely Coloradans to die from COVID-19 or to need hospitalization, making them among the state’s most invulnerable. Back of the line, then. In another way of looking at the question, people who live in dorms have no way to socially distance, making them among the state’s most vulnerable for both catching and spreading the virus. So step right up. After months of quiet debate these questions have now taken on a very public urgency. The first doses of vaccine for Colorado are about to hit the mail. Colorado Sun reporter John Ingold is joining us today to provide some insight into the differences between how politicians are thinking of prioritizing who receives the vaccine first, versus how public health workers are thinking about it. John, thanks so much for joining. Can you start by telling us more about this debate? What is it really about? And can you talk more about the arguments for prioritizing people who live in these congregate housing situations? Right, but you mentioned the governor might not agree with that approach. Can you talk about that more? And finally, when will we know which groups will be prioritized? Thank you, John. As John explained, the state still has some time to figure this out. Colorado’s first shipment of coronavirus vaccine will only include about 43,000 doses, and there are more than 300,000 people estimated to be eligible for vaccination in the state’s Phase 1. It could be a couple months before there is enough vaccine available to begin Phase 2. That leaves an awful lot of time for debate on a question that is literally about life and death. And thank you all for listening. Finally, here are a few stories you should know about today: Colorado Gov. Jared Polis’ spouse, First Gentleman Marlon Reis, has been hospitalized because of worsening COVID-19 symptoms. Coloradans are on edge. As individuals. As families. As communities. Colorado already had greater demand for behavioral health services than it could provide. And the safety net that even the state’s top mental health official says has “too many holes” might be further frayed by the tight state budget. The biggest question though for many still unemployment is what is happening to extended benefits? And maybe the bigger question is, will you still get them? Of course, the answer is it depends. Authorities on Saturday identified one of three sets of human remains discovered last month in the San Luis Valley as a missing Del Norte man. The remains of Myron Robert Martinez, who would have turned 38 in November, were found on a property in Conejos County.

Good morning and welcome to Montrose Fresh, the new podcast from The Montrose Daily Press. Today is FridayDecember 4th and we're here to bring you the local news, events, announcements, jobs, and more that matter to us here in Western Colorado. Today, our focus is on a new partnership between The City of Montrose and the Colorado Yurt Company that aims to provide additional outdoor dining spaces to local restaurants in need. Today's episode is brought to you by Elevate Internet. Whether it's for your home or your business they offer the best speeds at the best price. Right now, if you refer a friend you can get $25 off! Give them a call for more information at 844-386-8744 or visit them at elevateinternet.com - Before we begin, here are some events happening in our community. First, the Museum of the Mountain West is adding to its rich portfolio of history. Paul Nickens, a Tucson resident and former archaeologist in western Colorado, donated paintings from local artists — Bob DeJulio, James McNair, and Sharon Achtyes — to the museum, which will be on display through the winter. The collection is available to view during the museum's winter hours, Tuesday through Saturday from 9:30 a.m. — 4 p.m. Also, if you still have some holiday shopping to do, this year in Montrose local shops are part of additional Small Business Saturdays on Dec. 5, 12, and 19. The City flowed $10,000 in Montrose Bucks into promotions where every $50 spent at participating locations earns the shopper an additional $10. You can find a full list of participating business at cityofmontrose.org/holidays - Now, our feature story. Local businesses are receiving reinforcements. The City of Montrose and the Colorado Yurt Company — a Montrose manufacturer that crafts yurts, tipis and tents — have teamed up to provide outdoor tipis to businesses in the area interested in providing outdoor seating as an alternative in response to COVID-19 restrictions. This support from the city comes as Montrose moved to “high risk”, or orange, on the state's COVID-19 Dial Dashboard, which meant restaurants had to go down to 25% capacity limits, a drastic difference from the yellow level on the dial, where restaurants were only capped at 50% capacity. David Fishering, the co-owner of Storm King Distilling said that if restrictions keep going the way they are going, it's going to be pretty tough. Business has definitely slowed up, so they're trying to create more outdoor seating and the idea of tipis, creates more of an experience. The local distillery currently has two tipis, each 16 feet in diameter, planted outside its facility, both sitting idle on decks. Beyond considering limits to capacity, Fishering said that the tipis came at no cost, with both installation and removal provided by the city. And using “out-of-the-box” solutions to provide outdoor seating during the pandemic isn't unprecedented, at least in Colorado. The Denver Post reported that the town of Mountain Village had found a way to provide outdoor seating by using refurbished gondola cars as dining cabins. But between rising cases of covid-19, tighter restrictions, and colder weather the outlook for winter is far murkier than in summer, when local business was booming as people looked to escape bigger cities with high case counts. - Next, here are a few other things going on in Montrose that you should know about. With Christmas fast approaching, the seasonal shipping rush is on and Montrose Postmaster Nick Morgan is recommending early mailing. / The City of Montrose announced the “All is Bright” community celebration, a month-long series of events to welcome the 2020 holiday season in safe, socially distant ways aimed at uniting the community. / Mother Nature hasn't gifted Colorado with much snow this year, and that's following a dry summer. But because it is early enough in the winter season, water users and hydrologists aren't panicking. - And finally, before we go we'd like to remember the life of Joan Ruth Johnson. Joan was born in Montrose, and was a lifelong resident of Colorado. She married the love of her life and high school sweetheart Larry Dean Johnson and they made their home in Denver, but were happy to return to the Western Slope later on. Joan enjoyed her career of bookkeeping and office supply sales until she retired. She enjoyed the simple things in life, found humor in most everything, and loved spending time with her family. Joan is survived by her children and siblings, as well as her five grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. Thank you for taking a moment today to remember and celebrate Joan's life. - That's all for today, thank you for listening! For more information on any of these stories visit us at montrosepress.com.

Three things I learned about grief when my father died can help me through coronavirus. We’re living in a historic time. Not this age, not this millennium, but right this minute. We haven’t been touched by a pandemic of this magnitude for more than 100 years, and as we incorporate social distancing — a phrase not in such common use just weeks ago — and face the potentially life-altering consequences of the coronavirus, we live in the knowledge that our world may look very different when the danger passes. Now, as so many of us live under near-quarantine conditions, working from home — or not working at all — while hoping to quash the march of COVID-19 across the country, we’re bound to find ourselves in moods of reflection, uncertainty and hope. There is much to contemplate. And so The Colorado Sun is asking all of you, anyone with the capacity and the willingness to commit your thoughts to print, to share your observations of the many aspects of this remarkable period. We’ll publish select pieces periodically — an ongoing time capsule of sorts — as we confront the challenges ahead of us. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Good Morning, Colorado, and welcome to the Daily Sun-Up. It’s Tuesday December 1st, and we’re feeling lucky to start the day with you. Join us daily for an in-depth look at one of our top stories. Today, we’re discussing Glenwood Springs, and how they’re spending more than $10 million on repairs and upgrades to water supply infrastructure following the Grizzly Creek Fire. We’ve also released another bonus episode today, featuring insight from one of our readers on what they’ve learned while living through a global pandemic in Colorado. Before we begin, let’s take a look at what happened on this day in Colorado history - adapted from Derek R Everett’s book “Colorado Day by Day”: Today, we take you back to December 1st, 1894. The day Francis B Lowry was born in Denver. Lowry joined the US Army during World War One. He served as a photographer and observer of artillery positions from aircrafts, an innovative technology on the field of battle. During his 33rd mission German guns shot down his plane and he died in the crash. Now, our feature story. The Grizzly Creek Fire was not even 10% contained. Jumbo jets still were dousing flames as firefighting teams from across the country scrambled to protect Glenwood Springs and a critical watershed above the Colorado River. And teams of scientists were in Glenwood Canyon, too, battling alongside firefighters. Those hydrologists, biologists, geologists, archaeologists and recreation specialists are still there, even after the flames are gone, waging a behind-the-scenes battle to protect water and natural resources. Colorado Sun reporter Jason Blevins is joining us today to talk more about the aftermath of the fire, and what’s in store in terms of recovery. Jason, thanks so much for the time! So, the Grizzly Creek fire was still raging in Glenwood Canyon when a team of scientists descended on the burn zone to began assessing damage and making a recovery plan, can you start by talking about what they found? And, the city of Glenwood Springs has water intake infrastructure in Glenwood Canyon, can you tell us what was specifically damaged? And what are they spending money on? Thanks so much for the insight, Jason. It didn’t take long for Glenwood Springs to identify immediate repairs and upgrades to protect water systems from expected sediment and debris flowing from scorched canyon walls. By early September, less than a month after the Grizzly Creek Fire started, the city had a list of $86 million in projects. And the money started flowing almost immediately. Thanks for listening. Before we go here are a few stories you should know about today: On the first day of a special legislative session, Colorado lawmakers are potentially exposed to coronavirus. A Republican staffer in the Colorado House was on the chamber’s floor Monday morning despite testing positive for COVID-19 last week according to Democrats. - As unemployment claims in Colorado tick back up again, the site where out-of-work Coloradans go to request benefits was down on Monday morning possibly due to expired domain. - State officials have agreed to consider new county-by-county variances to red-level shutdown restrictions aimed at preventing the spread of COVID-19, but they warned rising case loads mean they will cast a skeptical eye on anyone hoping to replicate Mesa County’s “5-star” exemption program. - New Colorado state guidance could mean fewer teachers have to quarantine at home after a positive case of COVID-19 at their school, allowing more classrooms to stay open.

Good Morning, Colorado, and welcome to the Daily Sun-Up. It’s Monday November 30th, and we’re feeling lucky to start the day with you. Join us daily for an in-depth look at one of our top stories. Today, we’re discussing the prioritization of wildlife in The Gap expansion. Before we begin, let’s go back in time with some Colorado history adapted from historian Derek R Everett’s book “Colorado Day by Day”: Today, we take you back to November 30th, 1994 when the federal government’s highest-security prison, known as Supermax in Fremont County, admitted its first inmates. It was nicknamed the Alcatraxz of the Rockies, and it secures the nation’s worst offenders under lock and key. And now, our feature story. It’s a picturesque and remarkable feat of preservation. Meandering plains, mountains and meadows reflect the fruits of a decades-long effort to link massive, contiguous public and private parcels along a 5- to 8-mile-wide corridor -- roughly from Monument Hill north to Larkspur, wrapped in expansive conservation easements, protected habitat and, to the west, Pike National Forest. It teems with wildlife. There’s a herd of elk on billionaire John Malone’s Harmony Ranch that can range from 350-500 animals. Countless Front Range motorists may not know these details, but they’re more than a little familiar with the landscape: Their vehicles slice through it every time they buzz down that busy stretch of Interstate 25. And that’s been a problem -- both for drivers surprised by deer in the headlights and the wildlife that has risked becoming roadkill. With the Colorado Department of Transportation’s current project to widen an 18-mile stretch known as The Gap, motorists and wildlife would have made for an even more toxic mix. That’s where about $20 million of the $350 million project come into play. Colorado Sun reporter Kevin Simpson is joining us today to talk more about the project. Great to have you joining us, Kevin, can you start off here by telling us how $20 million of this project got set aside specifically to deal with wildlife mitigation? Kevin clip 00:00 - 00:44 And how difficult was it to get this data? Kevin clip 00:44 - 01:22 So, can you talk more about how that data helped the project's effort to get a slice of the funding?

Amid the coronavirus shutdown, I went on a walk for sanity. I got a dose of reality. We’re living in a historic time. Not this age, not this millennium, but right this minute. We haven’t been touched by a pandemic of this magnitude for more than 100 years, and as we incorporate social distancing — a phrase not in such common use just weeks ago — and face the potentially life-altering consequences of the coronavirus, we live in the knowledge that our world may look very different when the danger passes. Now, as so many of us live under near-quarantine conditions, working from home — or not working at all — while hoping to quash the march of COVID-19 across the country, we’re bound to find ourselves in moods of reflection, uncertainty and hope. There is much to contemplate. And so The Colorado Sun is asking all of you, anyone with the capacity and the willingness to commit your thoughts to print, to share your observations of the many aspects of this remarkable period. We’ll publish select pieces periodically — an ongoing time capsule of sorts — as we confront the challenges ahead of us. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Good Morning, Colorado, you’re listening to the Daily Sun-Up. It’s Thursday November 26th, and we’re feeling lucky to start the day with you, especially today - Happy Thanksgiving! Today, we’re taking a closer look at Colorado’s ski industry and the state’s requirement for resorts to have isolation housing for ill guests We’ve also released another bonus episode, featuring insight from one of our readers on what they’ve learned while living through a global pandemic in Colorado. But before we begin, let’s go back in time with some Colorado history adapted from historian Derek R Everett’s book “Colorado Day by Day”: Today, we’re going back to November 26th, 1947 when Hollywood newspapers announced the firing of screenwriter Dalton Trumbo on suspicion of Anti-american sentiments. Trumbo was born in Montrose, and later lived in Grand Junction where he was a reporter for the Grand Junction Sentinel. Even after his blacklisting he continued to write screenplays including Roman Holiday and Spartacus. Now, our feature story. Masks on all faces. Social distancing. Lots of warning signs, hand washing, worker training and remote transactions. Not much of anything will happen indoors. Welcome to the weirdest ski season ever. The snow is falling and the lifts are turning. Even as the state and counties impose increasingly strict limitations and regulations on private businesses, Colorado’s roughly $5 billion ski industry is moving forward without delay. The operating plans, while detailed and dense, are not beyond what’s been planned for months. For the most part. The sticky point involves resorts working in a “community-wide effort” to create opportunities to house guests who become ill during their holiday. Colorado Sun reporter Jason Blevins is joining us today to give us some insight into how ski resorts are getting ready for the season. Jason, thank you so much for joining. Can you start by talking about what resorts are doing to limit the spread of Covid-19? And can you talk more about how the capacities have changed, for example are resorts limiting the number of people that can be on lifts? And what about lodging? There’s been some concern over state guidelines when it comes to lodging, can you talk more about that? Thanks so much, Jason The move to “High Risk” Level Orange late last week prodded lodges and businesses across the Roaring Fork Valley and other destination areas to issue an SOS. The “Save Our Season” message targets locals and businesses. There are not many guests in the high country right now, but COVID-19 case counts in ski country’s Eagle, Grand, Pitkin, Routt, San Miguel and Summit counties are climbing. Finally, here are a few stories you should know about today: Gov. Jared Polis warned that Colorado restaurant owners who defy or ignore strict state health orders to help slow the spread of the coronavirus could lose their licenses to operate. - Mesa County, where virus cases have risen sharply in recent weeks and new restrictions followed tighter rules in much of the state, certifies businesses that demonstrate stricter COVID-19 precautions for employees and customers, even advertising for them in local media as “5-star” trusted partners. - Former Tuskegee Airman, Frank Macon has died at age 97 in Colorado Springs. Frank Macon was one of two surviving members of the original Tuskegee Airmen who lived in Colorado. - Turkey producers of all sizes have seen increased demand this Thanksgiving, especially for smaller birds For more information on all of these stories, visit our website, www.coloradosun.com.

Good Morning, Colorado, and welcome to the Daily Sun-Up. It’s Wednesday November 25th, and we’re feeling lucky to start the day with you. Join us daily for an in-depth look at one of our top stories, and a quick summary of other important things happening in our state. Today, we’re focused on how Coloradans are marking the Thanksgiving Holiday amidst a pandemic. Before we begin, let’s take a look at what happened on this day in Colorado history - adapted from Derek R Everett’s book “Colorado Day by Day”: Today, we take you back to November 25th, 1935 when The Colorado Supreme Court reinstated disbarred Denver judge, Benjamin Lindsey. It also happened to be his birthday. Lindsey had worked to establish a special juvenile court to remove young people from the general criminal population. He also battled the KKK which may have contributed to his disbarment as they then accused him of cheating during the election despite a lack of evidence. Now, our feature story. Today, Colorado Sun staff writer Lucy Haggard is joining to talk about what Thanksgiving looks like this year for folks all around the state. As Lucy mentioned, you can find accounts of how Coloradans are celebrating differently this year by visiting ColoradoSun.com and searching for “Thanksgiving 2020”. Thanks for listening. Before we go here are a few stories you should know about today: In a week where hundreds of thousands of Coloradans are expected to travel for the Thanksgiving holiday and the state’s coronavirus numbers continue to get worse. Gov. Jared Polis delivered one of his strongest warnings to date about what the consequences of that travel could lead to. - Katie Farnan a mother-turned-activist from Boulder helped launch a campaign against Cory Gardner in early 2017 - it was best known by its mascot, Cardboard Cory. As one of the most cohesive advocacy campaigns in modern Colorado politics, many think that it led to Cory Gardner’s defeat before the 2020 election even began. - Denver’s current and former mayors say that a “dysfunctional” school board mistreated the departing Superintendent Susana Cordova. - Nine months into the coronavirus pandemic and amid the state’s largest surge in critical cases, the level of protection jail inmates get from the virus still depends a lot on where they’re incarcerated.

Good Morning, Colorado, and welcome to the Daily Sun-Up. It’s Tuesday November 24th, and we’re feeling lucky to start the day with you. Join us daily for an in-depth look at one of our top stories. Today, we’re discussing the “Long-Haulers”, Coloradans that got Covid back in March, and are still experiencing symptoms. We’ve also released another bonus episode today, featuring insight from one of our readers on what they’ve learned while living through a global pandemic in Colorado. Before we begin, let’s take a look at what happened on this day in Colorado history - adapted from Derek R Everett’s book “Colorado Day by Day”: Today, we take you back to November 24th, 1922 when delegates from seven western states signed the Colorado River Compact or the CRC in Santa Fe New Mexico. It was an attempt to replace costly legal battles over interstate water resources through cooperation and negotiation. But some say it inspired as many court challenges as it sought to prevent. Now, our feature story. People who got covid-19 back in March were the front-liners, navigating a mysterious illness that doctors didn’t yet understand. And now eight months later, some are still experiencing symptoms. They’re called the Long-Haulers, and the first long-term study focused on them, from UCHealth, is finding that about one-third of highly symptomatic patients who survive report struggling with ongoing effects at least six to seven weeks after recovery. The study also found that long-term symptoms include brain fog, muscle aches, impaired breathing and blood clots. Today, Colorado Sun reporter Jennifer Brown is joining us after speaking to various survivors of the virus who are still not feeling like they’re fully recovered. Jennifer, Thank you so much for coming on today, can you start by giving us some insight into what is known about this group of people - the long haulers, and can you also tell us a little more about the UCHealth study? And, having spoken to a lot of these survivors, does it seem like they all have the same symptoms, or is this manifesting differently in different people? Thank you, Jennifer. As Jenninfer mentioned, one of the people she spoke with was a covid-19 survivor named Alyssa. Here’s a bit of their conversation: Alyssa’s doctor believes her body had an overactive immune response to the virus, which led to inflammation that can cause all sorts of problems -- from acid reflux to muscle issues to neurological disorders. Dr. Sarah Jolley, a pulmonary and critical care specialist at the University of Colorado School of Medicine said that, as coronavirus cases and hospitalizations skyrocket in Colorado this month, it’s important for people to remember that dying from COVID isn’t the only thing that should scare them. “Death isn’t the only endpoint,” she said. “It’s important that we think about what recovery looks like as well. Just because you survive COVID doesn’t mean that you may not have issues over the longer term.” Finally, here are a few other stories you should know about today: Under the coronavirus relief plan crafted by Democrats,restaurant owners would get to keep up to $2,000 per month in sales taxes owed to the state. The state sales tax is 2.9%, so that means a restaurant would have to bring in about $70,000 per month to get the full benefit. - The Second Amendment politics of Lauren Boebert, who beat longtime U.S. Rep. Scott Tipton in the primary, became visible in Colorado when she confronted then presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke during a rally in Aurora. - Dominion Voting Systems, which is based in Denver, has faced a slew of false fraud claims in recent weeks, many of which the AP has debunked.
