AURORA, Colo. — When Lena Silva first saw the line of cars at the Air Care Colorado emissions testing facility, she assumed her GPS had taken her to the wrong location. “There must be some sort of event,” Silva remembered thinking. On March 28, cars stretched for three football fields back to South Parker road. That was just the line to enter the gate. Silva was busy applying for jobs in product management, but she needed an emissions test to complete her car registration.

In 2021, Mesa County voters approved a bond measure to replace the old high school, which dated back to 1956 and had serious foundation and structural issues that were impossible to repair. Over the years, the old school expanded, sprawling to seven separate buildings. The new facility consolidates the campus into a 250,000 square-foot, three-story school.

LAFAYETTE, Colo. — Since Centaurus High School banned cell phones in January, principal Carlyn Carroll said she can hear the difference.

Kids would be on their phones. They’d be sitting at a table, and every single one of them would have a screen up,” said Carroll.

The DEN CATS program is the largest of its kind in the United States.

DENVER — Abi Loihl kept a close eye on the news during her time as an AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC) member. As the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency slashed funding for environmental and social service programs, she feared AmeriCorps, a 32-year-old federal program that sends workers from 18 to 26 years old around the country to do service work, would be next.

KREMLING, Colo. — At 10 p.m., Caitlyn Taussig trudged through the darkness toward her Chevrolet Blazer. The car groaned to life as Taussig maneuvered through the pasture, shining a flood light outside the car window to search for cows in distress. Calving season is one of the most stressful times of year for Colorado ranchers like Taussig. Cows give birth with little warning and ranchers must vaccinate, tag and care for newborns. When births go awry, ranchers must act fast to save calves.
