Comment on Report: Response to I-10 crash, hazmat spill in Tucson reveals major communications breakdown

More than a half century after the last passenger disembarked Car No. 10 of the Yampa Valley Mail train, an effort to revive passenger rail from Colorado’s capital city to the state’s northwest corner is taking shape.

The numbers are staggering. Denver nonprofit We Don’t Waste recovered more than 22.8 million servings of food in 2023 that otherwise would have gone to waste. By its reckoning, that accounted for more than 7.5 million meals going to people in need, and it prevented more than 10.4 million pounds of greenhouse gas emissions that would have been created if that food had gone to rot in landfills. The Denver Post Season To Share is the annual holiday fundraising campaign for The Denver Post and The Denver Post Community Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

Mackenzie Blackwood and Scott Wedgewood have completely changed the narrative of the 2024-25 season for the Avalanche. The Avs had one critical issue they could not control — player availability, stemming from injuries and a suspension — and one they could. That was the goaltending, which languished near the bottom of the NHL rankings in nearly every category. Enter Wedgewood, then Blackwood 10 days later.

Reporters have pregame routines, too. When I arrive at an NBA arena outside of Denver, mine includes familiarizing myself with the most optimal route from press row to the visiting coach’s interview room. It’s not always as simple as descending the steps of the lower seating bowl and going through a court-side tunnel.

Dear Eric: My husband and I are in our 70s and retired to a new community. We are engaged in church ministries and social groups that meet for dinner periodically. I volunteer and he is an avid golfer. My problem is not being able to turn new relationships into meaningful friendships.
