President Donald J. Trump signed a Presidential Memorandum revoking “Restoring Healthy and Abundant Salmon, Steelhead, and Other Native Fish Populations in the Columbia River Basin” Memorandum, which placed concerns about climate change above the interests in reliable energy resources. President Trump continues to prioritize the use of natural resources over speculative climate change concerns.

The death toll may change, as search and recovery efforts are expected to take days. As of last Friday, more than 70 water rescues were carried out.
While the smile and geniality reflect a natural affability—which she genuinely owns—when necessary, she can be an immovable object, especially when it comes to representing both her values and the those for whom she speaks.

Crisanta Duran takes no prisoners when the situation calls for drawing the line and standing firm on principle.
Duran, the first Latina to serve as Colorado’s Speaker of the House, is running for Colorado Attorney General. It’s a challenge, she understands. But not a challenge longtime friends and political foes know she’s not prepared to take head on.
Duran, a Colorado native, graduated from the University of Denver and earned her law degree from the University of Colorado School of Law. She later served as counsel for the United Food and Commercial Workers, the union that represents grocery store workers and meat cutters.
Before serving as Democratic leader of the state House, Duran also represented west Denver in the same body.
But serving as both union counsel and representing her party, Duran burnished a compassion whose foundation was formed early on.
Her father, Ernie, instilled in her the rock-solid values of fairness and equality that made her successful in leading her party in the state legislature.
It is also the foundation on which she is basing her campaign. “I believe strongly that it’s incumbent on Democrats to bridge divides and deliver real solutions,” for the people of Colorado.
Even though she led her party—often in difficult times—and delivered a number of legislative victories, she knows serving as Colorado Attorney General will present a whole new set of challenges. “The office is uniquely positioned to ensure that there are fair and just outcomes to issues that impact the people of Colorado,” she said in a recent interview with LaVozColorado.
As Attorney General, Duran said, the first responsibility of the office is to “uphold the Constitution and rule of law.” But she also knows the job goes well beyond that.
“How do we get to the root causes of struggles and challenges that people face,” she asked. “We need new pathways,” things that address consumer rights, Duran said. “We need to listen to people’s perspectives…it really starts from understanding the real-life struggles of Colorado (people) and developing new solutions.”
With current Attorney General Phil Weiser, a Democrat, leaving the office and running for Colorado Governor, the race to succeed him will continue to grow. To date, current Colorado Secretary of State Jenna Griswald, former Department of Justice attorney Hetal Doshi, consumer rights attorney David Seligman and Boulder District Attorney Michael Dougherty—all Democrats—have announced. Connor Pennington, little known outside his party, is so far the only Republican in the race.
If elected, Duran will be only the third woman to hold the office. Democrat Gale Norton and Republican Cynthia Coffman have served as Colorado Attorney General. But Duran would become only the second Hispanic to hold the office. Former Ambassador to Mexico and Colorado U.S. Senator and cabinet member, Ken Salazar, held the office. Salazar was also the first Latino to be elected to a statewide office as attorney general.
Though Duran is best known as a state legislator, her tradition of hard work goes back to a much earlier part of her life. Her resume might reflect a political pedigree, but it belies the fact that she has worked shoulder to shoulder with the bluest of blue collars as well as those who sit significantly higher up the labor ladder.
Duran’s biography tells how she once sold shoes at the now shuttered Westminster Mall; served and bussed tables in restaurants; was the point person—receptionist—in a hair salon and a childcare center and delivered newspapers.
Moving away from azure-tinted jobs and into white collar vocations, Duran also worked for Colorado Supreme Court Justice, Alex Martinez and, armed with her law degree, advocated for card-carrying union members in the food industry.
Duran’s legislative experience, nearly a decade, from 2011 to 2019, was not only serving in leadership as House Speaker, but also on the state Joint Budget Committee, the committee that determines how the state’s money will be spent.
Because the clock ticks faster in political time than in so many other fields—the next election is 18 months away—Duran has not scheduled a summer vacation for herself and her young daughter. Instead, she said, “This summer is going to be filled with speaking with as many Coloradans as possible,” to share with them “what is at stake.”
“I plan to spend a significant amount of time knocking on doors, talking with people…learning what their ideas are.” She said she wants to convey to any and all voters that she understands exactly what a “shared commitment” is and how she wants to work with them to “strengthening our democracy.”
Because campaigns—especially statewide campaigns—have soared and continue to skyrocket in costs, Duran is not putting a figure on how much it will take to run her campaign. “It doesn’t cost anything to knock on doors or make phone calls,” she said.
But Duran has already picked up one big name endorsement in former Denver Mayor Wellington Webb. Also, like Duran, the former three-term Denver chief executive, also served in the state legislature.
“In this election, she has not only the legal skills but also the experience for knowing what it takes to combat somebody like Donald Trump,” the former Colorado Speaker of the House said. “Not only that, but she will also fight to protect every citizen in Colorado because she knows first-hand what it means to fight discrimination.”
While Duran covets the Webb endorsement, there is one more equally as important, she said. “The endorsements that matter the most,” said Duran, “is from Coloradans who may not have the flashiest titles.”
It is still 18 months until the state’s next election, but Duran knows that her biggest investment between now and then may be in shoe leather. “I’ve traveled the state many times in elected office,” Duran shared. From now until November 2026, she’ll be doing it again or as the late Yogi Berra once opined, ‘it’ll be like déjà vu all over again.’
Twenty fresh middle school graduates are spending their first week of summer vacation learning the ropes of business and entrepreneurship through a new partnership between Colorado State University Pueblo’s Hasan School of Business Healy Center and Pueblo School District 70.
The 2025 Summer Business Academy runs June 9-13 on the CSU Pueblo campus, combining serious business education with the kind of fun that makes learning stick. Students from five D70 middle schools were selected for the intensive program that could reshape how they think about their futures.
Mornings are all business. Literally. Students dig into the fundamentals of entrepreneurship and business plan development, getting a taste of what college-level coursework feels like. But this isn’t your typical classroom experience. After lunch in the university cafeteria, the afternoons shift gears completely. Campus tours, the ropes course, and Massari recreation facilities give students a full university experience.
The real excitement builds toward Friday afternoon. At 1:30 pm on June 13, student groups will present their business ideas to a panel of sponsor judges in the Hasan School of Business. Each student walks away with prizes ranging in. value from $10 to $30, depending on how their group performs. Parents and guardians are invited to witness these presentations.
There’s more at stake than prizes, though. The university is working to offer students the option of earning one college credit hour through Extended Studies for their participation. And this summer academy might just be the beginning. Students are being encouraged to develop their business ideas further for cash prizes and scholarships at the 2026 Entrepreneurship Competition next April.

Michael Wakefield, professor of managment and Yaneth Correa, associate dean at HSB, are already looking beyond this pilot program. They›ve discussed expanding the initiative to additional school districts across southern Colorado. The potential impact could reach far more students in the southern region. The partnership makes sense for both organizations. D70 gets to offer its graduates a bridge program that combines education with excitement. CSU Pueblo strengthens its community connections while helping students experience and feel comfortable on a college campus. Students get something more than a summer program. They get an experience where business and entrepreneurship aren›t abstract concepts but real pathways they can pursue. Some of these students might discover talents they never knew they had.

Last week the Denver Broncos wrapped up OTA’s at Dove Valley and several young players stood out above all. R.J. Harvey, Jahdae Barron, Bo Nix, Evan Engram all shined during OTA’s with Coach Sean Payton praising Nix for his improved play sheet knowledge and communication with his receivers.
R.J. Harvey was one of Nix top targets during OTA’s with Evan Engram also becoming a favorite target for Nix. Ex-Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning visited OTA’s observing.
Mini camp will kick off late July and last through August. Until then the Broncos will have about five weeks before having to return to Dove Valley.
A three-team trade is said to be in the works that could send Michael Porter Jr. to the Brooklyn Nets, the Lakers would receive Nic Claxton while the Nuggets would get Rui Hachimura and Dalton Knecht plus a number 8 overall pick.
The deal is in response to Porter’s miserable shooting this last season shooting 32.2 percent from the field and 25.0 percent from three-point range.
The Colorado Rockies have now won 12 whopping game in 65 games with a winning percentage of .185 with six wins at home and six wins on the road. The Rockies are 27 games behind the division leading L.A. Dodgers. Colorado wrapped up a three-game series with the New York Mets who swept the Rockies in three-games. The Rockies are at home this week to host the San Francisco Giants before heading to Atlanta this Friday to face the Braves.
It is now that time of year that every school kid will talk about for the rest of their lives. Summer vacation! Long days, warm nights. Plenty of time for fun and mischief. But it’s that mischief part that might be the most memorable. And that is where Pueblo’s Becky Medina and her staff come in.
Medina is the Chief Operations Officer of Boys & Girls Club of Pueblo County. While it may not be all up to her, she certainly has a say on just what a lot of the county’s young people will be spending their time on from now until school starts again and well beyond.
“It’s the vision of the organization,” said Medina, “that every young person who enters our doors…is exposed to safe and supportive organizational opportunities.” By that, Medina means structure and supervision, making positive use of a young person’s leisure time.
Pueblo County’s Boys & Girls Club has just expanded into Pueblo West, perhaps the fastest growing community in all of southern Colorado.
The Boys & Girls Club unlocked the doors last fall to a new clubhouse in Pueblo West. The Liberty Point International School is now not only a safe haven for young people but also the epicenter for an array of activities designed for a single purpose. To engage young minds.
The Liberty Point clubhouse, one of several Boys & Girls centers across the city and the sprawling county, Medina said, is more than a port in the storm. It’s a kind of ‘ground-zero’ for intellectual and social stimulation. “It’s quality after school programming,” said Medina, “that lends itself to both emotional safety and also improves academics.”
What takes place at Liberty Point or other county Boys & Girls Clubs is not spending time playing games and doing arts and crafts, though those things are included. But Medina says it’s so much more. “We have ‘power hour,’ she said. “Students can have the opportunity to complete their homework, and we also provide opportunity for them to participate in high-yield learning, building academic skills.” Some of the games they might play, are games designed with the purpose of helping “build skills…writing and reading,” as just two examples.
But it’s not just exercising the mind, the Alamosa native said. There are also activities that take participants outside. “They play in sports leagues, even within the Boys & Girls club.” Additionally, she said, they have conservation programs, fishing, biking, organized hikes and interacting with the local Audubon Society.
Medina, a trained biologist, says one of the things the kids are working on now is a pollinator garden. It’s a hands-on experiment and experience with a garden that attracts bees, an insect essential to the things that make up the world. There are pollinator gardens at three different schools.
Growing up in Alamosa, there was nothing like a Boys & Girls Club. “My parents both worked, and my brother and I were left to our own devices.” While everything worked out, Medina said, her and her brother’s experience mirrored what so many families deal with. Parents, she said, sometimes have to make these kinds of choices.
The nine Boys & Girls clubhouses that Medina oversees have rules but rules that are not necessarily strict. But one thing that is enforced is something too many kids (and adults) spend far too much time on. “Our club discourages using phones,” she said. When a young person enters the clubhouse, phones go off. “You’d be surprised,” said Medina. “There is not a lot of push-back. In fact, a lot of parents really support us.” There’s a bit more ‘negotiating’ with middle and high school kids.
While the job requires a lot of administration, Medina has also spent a good deal of time ‘in the trenches’ with young people. Before becoming COO, she worked as a volunteer sharing her expertise with clubhouse regulars and mentoring in the science, math and engineering side of the club. It was that experience that solidified her connection to what she does today. “It fills your bucket.”
David Conde, Senior Consultant for International Programs
Mexico’s largest airline, Volaris, has concluded a partnership with Hainan Airlines of China as a further step in the deepening economic relationship between the two countries. Depending on the developing nature of its trade circumstances with the United States, Mexico which puts no political conditions on its international commerce, is setting measure in place to assure its continuance as the industrial capital of the continent.
Mexico’s changing economic role in North America comes mostly as a result of America’s evolving decision to isolate itself from its friends and adversaries. The tariff culture that appears on its way is designed to be the mainstay of a deliberate policy of retrenchment and an example of a calculated effort to withdraw from leadership on the world stage.
Associated with the global economic leadership has been a strong political presence underscored by a powerful military always available, as the people of different regions find their voice and developed their democratic instincts. That is also changing.
The budget now before the United States Senate proposes to generally maintain the tax benefits for the rich oligarchs, increase military spending and reduce benefits for the rest. Part of the plans for military spending is the development of an “Iron Dome” missile defense system to protect the homeland.
The emphasis on protecting the homeland at the expense of also protecting our neighbors, allies and friends around the world is another symbol of abdication of world leadership. The United States is on a path of voluntarily constricting its defense mechanisms to include only American territory.
When America was more or less “dragged” into World War II by the attack of the Japanese Empire on Pearl Harbor, there was a general feeling of righteousness in undertaking a state of war. When Hitler soon after declared war on the United States, our country became a full partner in the fight against fascism.
America’s economic strength and ingenuity provided for a two-ocean war and victory on both fronts. The outcome led to the country becoming an economic giant and a military superpower.
When matched against the Soviet Union during the Cold War, the United States eventually prevailed because its adversary was a military superpower but lacked the economic base to sustain its territorial ambitions.
When the Soviet Union fell, it left the United States as the sole superpower U.S. economic and military might allow it to project its strength, set the example as a democratic state, contribute to the rules for international commerce and allow for the development of its partners around the world.
That world order is now in jeopardy. The country is in danger of losing its friends and emboldening those that want to take its place. Among those that are driving toward world power are the Chinese that are projecting an economic strength that promises to very soon surpass that of the United States and a military industrial complex that is making a lot of noise.
America is in a position to accept the challenge of international trade competition without a military confrontation or war. Instead, the United States leadership seems to have decided to “throw in the towel” and withdraw from its responsibilities.
At home, our county’s main engine of progress, the immigrant, is being shown the door. In the long run, the racially motivated retrenchment will not keep the country from its color bound future.
Abroad, America is turning over the keys to world commerce to China. This abdication is fast becoming the strongest symbol yet of cultural decadence.

The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, the Arapahoe County Public Health Department, and El Paso County Public Health have confirmed two cases of measles and are notifying members of the public of additional areas for potential measles exposures.
The first case involves a child under 5 from El Paso County who recently traveled with family to Ontario, Canada, where a measles outbreak is ongoing. The child was vaccinated with one dose of the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine.
The second case is in an unvaccinated Arapahoe County adult. The case was at Denver International Airport on Tuesday, May 13, during the exposure period of an out-of-state traveler who flew while infectious.
Getting vaccinated is the best way to protect yourself, your family, and your community. Measles is highly contagious and can sometimes lead to serious health problems, but it is a vaccine-preventable disease. Symptoms include fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes, and a characteristic rash that usually starts several days later on the face and spreads. The MMR vaccine provides strong protection. In rare breakthrough cases, they typically experience milder illness and are less likely to spread the virus to others.
Known exposure locations:
Based on available information, anyone who was in the following locations during the dates and times listed may have been exposed to measles and should monitor for symptoms for 21 days after exposure and consider avoiding public gatherings or high-risk settings. Monitoring for symptoms is especially critical for people who have not been vaccinated with the MMR vaccine. MMR vaccine, given within 72 hours after exposure, can prevent infection. Locations will be updated, as necessary.

What to do if you may have been exposed and aren’t feeling well:
People exposed to measles typically develop symptoms 7 to 21 days after exposure. If you were at these locations during the exposure window and develop symptoms, immediately contact your health care provider by phone. If you do not have a provider, call an urgent care center or emergency department and explain that you may have been exposed to measles. Calling ahead helps prevent additional exposures.Please visit the CDPHE measles webpage, which includes information about symptoms, transmission, and vaccine recommendations, 2025 Colorado measles case information, and a current list of exposure locations.
