A statewide task force on Friday called for a sweeping overhaul of Colorado’s system for reporting suspected child abuse and neglect, proposing myriad reforms aimed at clarifying the oft-misunderstood and sometimes misused process. Colorado lawmakers created the task force in 2022 to examine the state’s mandatory reporting laws following a Denver Post investigation into the 2017 death of 7-year-old Olivia Gant, a long-term patient at Children’s Hospital Colorado. Before Olivia died, some of her caregivers at the hospital suspected Olivia’s mother may have been medically abusing her, but the hospital did not alert any outside authorities to their suspicions until after Olivia’s death, despite the state’s mandatory reporting laws, which require some professionals to “immediately” report suspected child abuse or neglect to state authorities. Instead, the hospital investigated the concerns internally, through its own child protection team and in a series of ethics meetings, relying in part on false information provided by Olivia’s mother to conclude there was no reason to alert outside authorities to the potential abuse. A doctor at the hospital eventually raised the alarm more than a year after Olivia died, when Olivia’s mother brought in Olivia’s sister for similar false medical concerns.

Dozens and dozens of restaurants will open their doors for the first time in 2025 — most of which we don’t even know about yet (although their owners are surely planning away). But we do have details of some of them, and it makes us hungry. Here is a list of eight of the most anticipated openings of 2025 — along with two more without addresses that are in the works. Amorina Chef Max Mackissock of the Culinary Creative Group plans to open Amorina, a cocktail bar and small-plates restaurant in Cherry Creek, on Jan.

The U. S. military’s mountain bunker along Colorado’s Front Range, built during the Cold War to survive a Soviet nuclear attack, now must withstand scrutiny by lawmakers who see it as a costly relic. They question the need for a not-so-secret command post cocooned in 2,000 feet of granite. It sits inside Cheyenne Mountain, where North American Aerospace Defense (NORAD) crews in front of a large map can scan skies and track missile and satellite launches around the planet, along with potentially disruptive space junk. The bunker also houses, behind 23-ton blast doors, a power plant, water supply, food stores, a health clinic, a barber shop, and a chapel. Military crews at the Buckley Space Force Base east of Denver and at Peterson Space Force Base east of Colorado Springs perform the same missions at a lower cost.
