Here's your local news at a glance for Sunday, the 25th of May.
Good morning, Denver.
🏘️ Community
Lakewood father William H.
DuBois will honor his son’s legacy in the 45th annual BOLDERBoulder race tomorrow—he lost Airman Will DuBois in 2014 while serving and now keeps his memory alive with tribute events and a scholarship in his name.
🚨 Crime
A Colorado couple was convicted Friday for staging a cross burning to boost support for Colorado Springs’ first Black mayor — prosecutors said the act was meant as a political stunt but was taken as a threat, and each may face up to 10 years in prison.
🎭 Culture
Joe Cocker was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2025, honoring his famous music career and his later years living in Crawford where he made Colorado his home.
His soulful voice and local ties have left a strong mark on the state — his legacy continues to inspire fans.
🌲 Environment
Visitors appreciated that Rocky Mountain National Park operated normally Friday, May 23rd, with staffed entrances and smooth shuttle service for the Bear Lake area.
The park began its peak season requiring timed-entry reservations until Oct. 13—measures aimed at managing high visitor numbers amid staffing and federal budget concerns.
Medano Creek at Great Sand Dunes National Park is flowing at less than half its normal rate because a dry winter left the snowpack far below average — officials noted the creek was less than one inch deep near the parking lot and said it may run dry by mid-June, limiting water activities.
🏛️ Government
Denver city leaders are planning to turn downtown one-way streets into two-way roads over the next three to five years to improve mobility and pedestrian safety—local residents are invited to share their ideas through a survey as part of the Downtown Area Plan.
