Russell Wilson’s future in Denver likely coming to an end

Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton hasn’t made a decision about the future of Russell Wilson in Denver but he has committed to making a decision within the next couple weeks. Payton responded to a question on Tuesday about what Denver’s key to finding a long-term solution was by saying, “We better…I think it’s vital.”

Payton and his staff benched Wilson at the end of last season for the less experienced Jarrett Stidham who was neither better nor worse than Wilson in the two games he played at starter.

Wilson said on Brandon Marshal’s podcast “I AM Athlete,” over the weekend that he would like to finish his career in Denver and wanted to add two more Super Bowls to his resume, but added, “You also want to be [in] a place that wants you, too.”

Wilson has received a mix of support and reality from Denver Broncos fans that over the years have shown praise for a short list of quarterbacks under center in the Mile High City.

The NFL Draft is less than two months away and the Denver Broncos scouts will likely be very active at the NFL combine, looking for a young and smart kid to take over the roll at quarterback. Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy is expected to meet with the Broncos this week, a kid many teams are looking at to fill the quarterback position.

In other sports the Avalanche have welcomed back Valeri Nichushkin who was cleared by the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program to practice with Colorado on Monday. Nichushkin’s return is huge for the Avs who have lost three of their last six games.

The Avs are at home to host the Dallas Stars this week (results of game not available at the time of this writing) before heading to Chicago later this week to face the Blackhawks. Colorado’s game with Dallas is critical in moving closer to the top of the conference. The Avs currently sit at third place in the Western Conference behind the Winnipeg Jets, and the Dallas Stars.

The Denver Nuggets won a rollercoaster of a game against the Golden State Warriors over the weekend. The Nuggets headed into the half knotted up 61 apiece and came out in the second half dominating the Warriors 58-42 beating Golden State 119-103.

Nikola Jokic achieved his 139th career triple-double against the Warriors passing LeBron James for fourth place all-time in 1,034 fewer games than LeBron. Jokic is second among active players with triple-doubles behind Russell Westbrook.

The Nuggets are in third place in the Western Conference behind the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Minnesota Timberwolves. Denver is at home this week to host the Sacramento Kings and the Miami Heat before heading to L.A. this weekend to face the L.A. Lakers.

Longtime Pueblo business provides a community service

Longtime Pueblo business provides a community service

Outside of Pueblo, there is scant mention of the pioneer James P. Beckworth. In fact, it wasn’t that long ago that many or even most Puebloans even knew the name.

For generations of Pueblo students, the name was missing in school history classes and just about everywhere else. But without Beckworth deciding to lay down stakes at the confluence of the Fountain and Arkansas rivers in the early 1850’s, who even knows if Pueblo would have become the city it has become?

Beckworth, along with a handful of trappers and various other rugged pioneers, founded the town. But what makes Beckworth unique among these hearty souls is that he was a former slave who, after gaining his freedom, came west and lived a life that can only be described as colorful beyond belief.

But despite a founding with an inextricable connection to a Black man, Pueblo, Colorado’s tenth largest city, has only a three percent Black population. And Yanera McCulley Sedillo and her family know most of them. And in business, has served many, if not most, of them.

The McCulley family has owned the city’s only African American funeral home since 1968 and, while it serves the entire city, has been considered first when an African American family has lost a loved one.

“Knowing the culture and traditions,” said McCulley-Sedillo, “there’s just a different way to celebrate. African American culture, it’s a ‘home going celebration,’ a happy time.”

Despite a historically thin portfolio of African American history in Pueblo, the city’s El Pueblo Museum has done yeoman’s work in reminding visitors about the indelible presence of African Americans in Pueblo and across the swath of southern Colorado.

In the 2024 commemoration of Black History Month, the museum has joined with History Colorado to tell the story of two significant chapters of the region’s Black history. The exhibit, “The Dry: Black Women’s Legacy in a Farming Community,” tells the story of an early 20th century African American family that, despite the longest of odds, decided to settle a land that might as well have been the dark side of the moon. But despite its isolation—a plot of land just south of Manzanola—it offered true independence and an escape from the ills of bigotry that infected so much of the country.

The exhibit explains how two Black women, using an amended and expanded Homestead Act, came to the Arkansas Valley for the sole purpose of creating a new life absent the often dehumanizing ‘normalcy’ of the discrimination African Americans faced in other places. The sisters even encouraged other Black families to join them on their journey, periodically traveling out of state to make their pitch.

The story of the Rucker sisters, Josephine and Leonora, is told in hundreds of black and white photographs, each inscribed with brief, handwritten explanations of the people or locations that today sit frozen in time.

The story of “The Dry,” and the McCulley families is part of the African American fabric of Pueblo and southern Colorado. For the McCulleys, theirs is also an extension of the family from whom their funeral home was bought. Prior to them serving the city’s African American families, it was the Jones family, also African Americans, who handled the final arrangements of the city’s Black families, as well as many Latino families.

McCulley-Sedillo’s mother, Petra, was Panamanian and upon arrival in Pueblo with her husband, Charles, often served as a bridge connecting Latino families needing their services.

Today, more than a half century since the turbulent sixties when the family first arrived, McCulley-Sedillo says they are as ingrained in the community as anyone and provide families going through a challenging time the care and comfort they deserve.

“When I see new people, I embrace them,” said McCulley-Sedillo. “I engage them and let them know, if they need anything, I’m here.” It is what her father taught them, she said. “Treat people the same way you want to be treated,” was not simply a motto for the late Mr. McCulley. It was a fundamental tenet.

Tending to grieving families, though, is just one facet of the McCulley presence in the city. It extends to playing a central role in Pueblo’s Juneteenth celebration, honoring the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and participating on boards, including the Pueblo Central High School Foundation, the school each of the McCulley children attended, as well as other events that showcase the city’s African American legacy in Pueblo and southern Colorado.

The business, said McCulley-Sedillo, is a family affair. All of the McCulley children play important roles and soon, another family member, her own son, will join. McCulley-Sedillo’s son will complete his degree in mortuary science this spring in Dallas and returns to Pueblo as the newest link in the business.

Latino immigrants, the scapegoats of our time

Latino immigrants, the scapegoats of our time
David Conde, Senior Consultant for International Programs

Ever since the original European immigrants arrived on our eastern shores, there has been a tendency for those that have been here awhile to “nativize” their status at the expense of those that came after them. Religion, ethnicity, language, culture and race are reasons invented to deprive newcomers of the promise of America.

There are families with immigrant histories even forgetting about their ancestors from other countries in order to differentiate themselves from recent arrivals. At the same time, immigrants have continued to come regardless of how they are received to largely help build the wonder that is our country.

US Highway 79 in Central Texas goes through a little town called Hearne. It is in the farms close to the town that our family settled after years in the migrant farmworker stream the clan specifically lived along a 16 mile stretch of Farm to Market Road 50 that connects Hearne and US 79 to Texas Highway 21 which was the Old San Antonio Road and the Spanish el Camino Real during the colonial period.

Also, along that stretch are the farms owned by families from previous immigration periods like the Schantz, the Neglassos and the Catropias. It was in their farms and cotton fields that many of our people worked as day laborers or sharecroppers.

In addition, the farmers employed “Braceros,” contracted Mexican field hands. Originally they were brought in as part of an agreement between Mexico and the United States to alleviate farmworker shortages during World War II.

The Braceros represented my first contact with what was to become part of the immigrant community. I remember, as a little boy, working side by side with Braceros in the fields.

I remember going to the places where they lived, watching them cook dinner and staying to eat. I remember the delicious tortillas that look sort of yellowish because of the amount of lard they put in the flour and dough to make them.

As I grew up, Braceros and former Braceros provided the context for my world view associated with immigrants. The image of hard work, language, culture, traditions and dedication to their adopted country has stayed with me.

I also saw the increasing disconnect between the mostly Mexican immigrant families and the law because of a quota system that left many of them on the outside. This led to a prejudicial atmosphere that divided the nation and the Latino community.

The issue was exacerbated by the arrival of Cuban refugees that came to claim asylum as a result of the Fidel Castro regime going Communist. Their route to freedom was quite difficult in their home country but relatively easy once they reached American soil.

The opposite was true for Mexican immigrants. This disparity created a deep resentment on the part of especially Chicanos that continues, for many, to this day.

The irony is that the asylum offered to the Cubans that could get out from under Castro’s Communist regime is less available today for those trying to take refuge from oppressive dictatorships like that of Venezuela. The rules are changing for them largely because of the fear that every Latino immigrant represent another nail in the coffin of a longstanding majority in the process of becoming a minority.

There is a fundamental lack of understanding that for the immigrant, becoming an American is still the gold standard of aspirations. It always has been the case.

The standard continues. The immigrant past of America is also its future.

U.S. Department of Education releases voter toolkit

The U.S. Department of Education (Department) released a “Toolkit for the Promotion of Voter Participation for Students” to provide resources for educational institutions to help them identify and implement actions to assist eligible students with voter registration and voting. Recognizing that our nation’s schools, colleges, and universities have a critical role in promoting civic engagement, the toolkit will provide them with strategies to support their students.

“Voting is fundamental to our democracy, and our schools and colleges play an important role in helping our students become active participants in our democratic society,” said U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona.

“From providing civic education during a student’s elementary and secondary school years to facilitating the voting process for all students during their postsecondary educational experience, our education system helps students engage in the electoral process. I’m proud that the resources we are releasing today will help reduce the barriers and obstacles many students—especially our underserved students—face in participating fully in our democracy.”

The toolkit includes explanations of current legal requirements for schools, recommendations for non-parti- san steps they can take to expand voter participation across their student bodies, federal resources they can utilize and share to support voters in their communities, and examples from the field with effective and promising strategies from schools across the nation.

In March 2021, President Biden issued an executive order, “Promoting Access to Voting,” (www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2021/03/07/executive-order-on-promoting-access-to-voting/) which called on federal agencies to consider ways to expand opportunities for all Americans to register to vote and to obtain information about, and participate in, the electoral process.

Since then, the Department has taken several steps to expand voting access for all students, including adding a link to vote.gov on the Federal Student Aid website to make information about voting more accessible to college students; issuing a Dear Colleague Letter to remind institutions of higher education of the federal requirements regarding voting that are tied to participation in federal student aid programs; and clarifying when Federal Work Study dollars could be used for nonpartisan civic engagement work.

VA’s National Cemetery Administration, correcting 1917 injustice

VA’s National Cemetery Administration, correcting 1917 injustice

VA’s National Cemetery Administration dedicates new headstones to honor Black soldiers, correcting 1917 injustice

The Department of Veterans Affairs’ National Cemetery Administration (NCA) is hosting a memorial ceremony in San Antonio, Texas, at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery righting a wrong of the past by dedicating new headstones for 17 World War I Black soldiers of the 3rd Battalion, 24th Infantry Regiment.

These soldiers were among those executed following the courts martial of 110 Black soldiers charged with murder and mutiny in the 1917 Houston Riots. Consistent with standard procedure of that time for soldiers who were sentenced to death in a court martial, their graves were marked with headstones that listed only their names and year of death – as opposed to full honors. The Army reviewed the cases of these Black soldiers again in 2023 and marked their trials unfair, saying that “these Soldiers were wrongly treated because of their race and were not given fair trials.” The Secretary of the Army set aside all convictions and directed the soldiers’ records reflect honorable discharges.

Now, VA has provided these soldiers with new headstones that fully honor their service – including names, state, rank, unit, and date of death – and an updated interpretive sign sharing their story, educating the public, and providing closure for the next of kin.

“Today, we right the wrongs of the past and honor the service of these soldiers – who served our country with honor,” said VA Under Secretary for Memorial Affairs Matthew Quinn. “We are proud to dedicate new engraved headstones that include these Army soldiers’ ranks, regimental unit, and home states, demonstrating our full commitment to helping correct the injustice of that era.”

Honoring these soldiers is a part of VA’s comprehensive work to deliver for all Veterans ― regardless of their age, race, ethnicity, sex, gender identity, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or geographic location. As announced last week, using the Agency Equity Action Plan, VA will work urgently to improve outcomes and eliminate disparities in Veteran benefits and health care; increase access to VA services; enhance economic security for all Veterans, including historically underserved Veteran communities; listen to and learn from Veteran communities; and more.

VA operates 155 national cemeteries and 34 soldiers’ lots and monument sites across the nation. More than five million Americans, including Veterans of every war and conflict, are buried in VA cemeteries. Learn more about VA’s burial benefits and memorial services.

CDPHE and CSPH to launch the state’s first gun violence prevention resource bank

The Office of Gun Violence Prevention within the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has partnered with the Injury and Violence Prevention Center in the Colorado School of Public Health to publish the state’s first-ever resource bank regarding gun violence in Colorado.

The Colorado Gun Violence Prevention Resource Bank serves as a research and data hub that is designed for use by diverse audiences ranging from researchers to the general public. It signifies a pivotal step in Colorado’s efforts to address firearm injury and violence. The resource bank contains a repository of information, including an interactive dashboard with data related to firearm injury and death in the state. Data and resource topics include firearm harm prevention approaches, Colorado gun laws, safe storage best practices, and information about requesting an extreme risk protection order.

“The first step to solving an issue using a public health approach is to thoroughly understand the scope of the problem through data,” said Jonathan McMillan, director of CDPHE’s Office of Gun Violence Prevention. “This resource bank will prove invaluable to anyone interested in being part of the solution and working to prevent firearm-related harms within their own community.”

According to the Colorado Vital Statistics Program, between 2016 – 2021, an average of 911 people in Colorado died each year due to guns. In 2021, Colorado ranked 18th in the United States for firearm-related deaths, emphasizing the importance of this work. The resource bank, including the data dashboard, will continue to expand to include additional information and resources and incorporate additional data sources, ensuring comprehensive coverage of firearm-related insights.

“The Injury and Violence Prevention Center is pleased to support the Office of Gun Violence Prevention in the continual advancement of the resource bank,” says Ashley Brooks-Russell, PhD, director of the Injury and Violence Prevention Center – a collaborative initiative of the Colorado School of Public Health and the University of Colorado School of Medicine at the CU Anschutz Medical Campus. “As an organization that works to reduce firearm injury and its outcomes through high-quality research, education, and practice, we are committed to ensuring that the resource bank’s growth is aligned with community needs.”

2024 Colorado Capital Conference seeks participants

U.S. Senators Michael Bennet (D-CO) and John Hickenlooper (D-CO) together with Colorado Mesa University, the University of Colorado, and Colorado State University invite all Colorado residents to apply to the Colorado Capital Conference to be held in Washington, D.C. June 11-13, 2024.

One hundred Coloradans from a diverse cross-section of our state will be selected through a highly competitive application process to participate in this bipartisan conference. During the event, they will have an opportunity to hear from and interact with our nation’s leaders in an informal setting.

“The Colorado Capital Conference exemplifies the best of American democracy. It’s a time for Coloradans to come together to share ideas — and out of that, form a stronger, more reflective Colorado. I’m pleased to co-host this conference in person once again with Senator John Hickenlooper, Colorado Mesa University, the University of Colorado, and Colorado State University,” stated Senator Michael Bennet.

“Our office represents Coloradans’ seat at the table. It belongs to everyone in our state,” said Senator John Hickenlooper. “Welcoming the Colorado Capital Conference is a great way to involve folks with the work we’re doing.”

“Colorado Mesa University is honored to host the Colorado Capital Conference along with both of our US Senators and our partners at CU and CSU. It’s never been more important for Coloradans of every stripe to learn more about our federal government and engage in conversation with one another. The Colorado Capital Conference is unique, and our nation is begging for citizens to get engaged and find common ground. No matter your party affiliation or geography, we hope all Coloradans apply to join us in Washington, D.C. next summer,” said Colorado Mesa University President John Marshall.

University of Colorado System President Todd Saliman believes the conference provides numerous benefits to Colorado residents. “CU is excited to partner with Sens. Bennet and Hickenlooper, Colorado Mesa University and Colorado State University again this year to offer this unique opportunity. By providing insight into our democratic process and making space to engage around our shared values as Coloradans and Americans, the Colorado Capital Conference goes a long way in bringing us together.”

CSU System Chancellor Dr. Tony Frank agrees: “CSU is proud to participate in the bipartisan Colorado Capital Conference and help bring together citizens of our state with lawmakers in the nation’s capital. It is a unique public forum that gives voters of Colorado the opportunity to voice their ideas and concerns directly to lawmakers, and it gives lawmakers an opportunity to speak directly to citizens about the legislative process and how policy is—and sometimes isn’t—enacted. It’s a benefit for everyone involved including CSU, and we’re grateful to Senators Bennet and Hickenlooper for making it possible.”

All applications must be received no later than March 22, 2024. Conference participants will be announced by April 18, 2024. Participants are responsible for their own accommodations (at a group rate) and airfare. There is a $750 registration fee, which covers most meals and conference materials. Guests are welcome to participate in evening events for a prepaid fee of $200.

Statement from President Joe Biden on the Successful Landing of the Odysseus Lunar Craft: “On Thursday night, for the first time in over 50 years, an American spacecraft landed on the Moon – a thrilling step forward in a new era of space exploration. The robotic lunar lander, named Odysseus, launched from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center on February 15. On Thursday, it sent images from the Moon as it circled in low orbit, before touching down near the South Pole. This mission marks a milestone: the first Moon landing by an American company. Odysseus is a public-private partnership between NASA and the American company Intuitive Machines. It was made possible by American ingenuity, innovation, and curiosity. And, through NASA’s Artemis program, it’s the first of more public- and private-sector space missions to come, bringing together our international and commercial partners to return humans to the Moon for the first time in decades. America is leading the world back to the Moon.

Colorado Governor

Governor Polis released a statement acknowledging the 2nd Anniversary of Putin’s illegal invasion of Ukraine. “Two years ago today, Russia attacked Ukraine. Colorado stands with Ukraine today, just as we did two years ago when dictator Vladimir Putin’s war began. Putin’s aggressive and globally destabilizing actions pose a risk to safety and security around the world, and I encourage Congress to pass additional support to help Ukraine defend itself from Russian aggression. Today is a reminder of our critical role in sup- porting our international allies and protecting democracy abroad. Here in Colorado, our thoughts are with the brave Ukrainian people as they stand up against this attack,” said Colorado Governor Jared Polis.

Denver Mayor

The City and County of Denver organized federal work authorization clinics for nearly 400 migrant newcomers. During these clinics, local non-profits, volunteers, and city staff assisted newcomers in filing the necessary paperwork to receive federal work permits. Pre-screenings to determine eligibility were held in city-run shelters ahead of two large-scale clinics at the Wellington E. Webb Municipal Building on Thursday and Friday. “Where Congress has failed U.S. cities, Denver is putting together the pieces to manage both the humanitarian and fiscal crises our city is facing,” said Mayor Mike Johnston.
