Opinion: Solutions to leaded aviation fuel are complicated

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:22:18 GMT

An editorial earlier this summer (“Don’t let children near Colorado’s airports suffer the same fate as kids in Flint, Mich.” July 11, 2023) focused on an important issue, but grossly oversimplified the solution. The concern over the use of lead in aviation gas is understandable, and shared by the general aviation industry, which has been working diligently towards the development, production and distribution of an unleaded alternative that can be safely used in all aircraft.But such a complex transition, with aviation safety at the center, cannot be done overnight.The use of lead in aviation gas is a matter of safety. Low-lead aviation gas – known as 100LL avgas – is used in aircraft with piston engines, generally smaller, single engine aircraft because these high-compression engines require equally high-octane levels in their fuel to prevent detonation, which can result in catastrophic engine failure. This high-octane level has historically been attained by the addition of a lead-b...

Colorado’s voter-approved affordable housing program is popular, with dozens of cities seeking money

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:22:18 GMT

Dozens of Colorado cities and towns that are home to more than half of the state’s population have signed up to receive their share of a nearly $300 million-a-year affordable housing program approved by voters.The high interest, including from the city of Denver, comes despite concerns that some cities and towns won’t be able to satisfy the strings attached to the money.In all, 67 municipalities across Colorado, representing its largest cities and 56% of its population, have agreed to the terms of Proposition 123, the affordable housing fund that voters approved last November. The program requires participating cities to increase their stock of affordable housing by a total of 9% in three years, and participating towns and cities in the future also will have to expedite their project approval processes.With so much interest, it’s still unclear exactly much money each city will receive.The program is funded via a diversion of a tiny sliver of state income tax revenu...

Is TikTok-focused crowd work ruining stand-up comedy?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:22:18 GMT

As the High Plains Comedy Festival returns for its 10th edition, Denver audiences can catch dozens of stand-up sets from 100 local and national comics, podcast recordings, open-mic nights, reunions, and more along the city’s South Broadway corridor.They’ll also see plenty of crowd work at the event, which began Thursday, Sept. 21, and continues through Saturday, Sept. 23. Most of us know it well: that seemingly unavoidable part of stand-up that trades practiced, written material for surface-y, sometimes contentious, audience interaction.Whether that includes shutting down a heckler or querying unsuspecting folks in the front row, it’s something comics have increasingly come to regard as either an asset or a crutch — especially following its ascension on social media in the form of viral clips on TikTok and Instagram.Trinidad-based comic Nathan Lund thinks crowd work can go both ways — and for the most part, he avoids it.

Fall colors are beginning in the northern mountains, but peak season is still a week or two away

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:22:18 GMT

The peak of leaf-peeping season in the northern mountains most likely is a week or two away, but the onset of the great fall foliage transition has begun.“We’ve had some chilly nights, a few 34s, 35s, some light frost on the deck,” said longtime Steamboat Springs resident Cathy Wiedemer. “That maybe has helped with it. It just seems in the last few days, we’ve kind of rounded the corner and the colors are on – but just starting. (Wednesday) I was noticing some reds in some scrub oak. It definitely feels like fall. Then you look at a row of trees in town, some are yellow and some are still green. There’s this nice melding of colors.”About 25 miles north of Steamboat at the Vista Verde Guest Ranch near the town of Clark, mountainsides are mostly green but some gold is popping. The ranch’s sales and hospitality director, Roxy Kestner, said the change could be in full force next week.Related ArticlesOutdoors | Leaf-peeping preview: Here’s w...

The Table Urban Farm is completing soil preparation for a new community garden at the Denver Police Department’s District Four Station at the corner of South Clay Street and Warren Avenue, readying the plot for use ahead of planting season in the spring.The 5,000-square-foot garden will be the largest of the 19 plots operated by the Table Urban Farm in the south Denver area, and will be maintained with the goal of growing thousands of pounds of food for community members in need, according to the Denver Police Department.There are plans to grow onions, tomatoes, peppers and squash, and community members will be able to have input on other types of food that they also want to see grown at the location.“Our model is to grow food in underutilized spaces and share food back to the community,” Table Urban Farm co-director Jeanine Kopaska Broek said in an email.Broek said the space will differ from a traditional community garden where members rent space, and will instead...
